THE HOUSE AUIOuRAS AT LAST.
AT FIVE O'CLOCK SUNDAY MORN
ING IT CAME
1T WAS THE RESULT OF A COM
PROMISE. AND LEFT THE FEE
BILL JUST WHERE IT WAS BE-
FORE THE TROUBLE CAME UP
HISTORY or THE SESSION.


No'AiANf hN%Nst h-Hfh -
The continuous session of thirty
eight hours which the house indulged
itself in came to an end a. 8 o'clock
this morning, and tired and sleepy
lot of statesmen, employees ana news
paper men broke for their boarding
houses.
The tie-up ended In a compromise.
and the fee bill stands practically
where it did when the long session
began.
And the victory is with the antls,
the pros having been forced to come
out the same hole they went in at,
with the assistance of the other side.
The matter stood in such shape that
nothing could be done without the help
Of the minority. and as It had not
voted for tho previous question and
had not demanded the call OF the
house 1t did not feel disposed to make
any concessions, And 1t didn't make
any.
Yesterday morning the minority lead
ers proposed to vote with the majority
folks to excuse the absentees and let
the fee bill be ordered to engrossment,
provided a motion to reconsider should
be ordered and spread upon the jour
nal.
The majority side said the PROPOSE
ton was agreeable, provided the mi
norlty would agree not TO flllibuster
when the motion to reconsider was
taken up.
The minority refused to make such
agreement and so the fight went on.
Last night members of the majority
began to weaken and by o'clock this
morning the leaders saw they could
not hold their forces together. So u
caucus was held and 1t was decided
TO gagrce to the proposition made by
the minority.
When this decision was reached the
matter was soon settled. The absent
ces were excused the bill WAS ordered
TO engrossment, motion to reconsider
was spread on the journal, and at 8
o'clock the house adjourned to meet
again tomorrow.
This leaves the fee bill practically
where It was Friday evening, for 1t
cannot advance further until the mo-
ton to reconsider is disposed OF. and
an attempt 10 do that will bring on
another call of the house and a con-
sequent tie-up.
The long struggle was not however,
without its uses. While the fee bill
was laid upon the table to await the
result of the call other measures were
taken up and disposed of and u great
deal of work was done.

SUSPECT THE BAPTIST MINISTER
ONE OF HIS SHOES HAS MISS VIII
LIAMs' BLOOD ON IT.
BUT THE POLICE SAY DuRANr
MAY HAVE WORN THE PREACH
ERs sHoEs-MIss LAMONT HAD
NOT BEEN GUILTY OF uN-
cHAsTENEss-'FRIsco MURDERS

San Francisco. April 2i.--The police
aio busy in picking up the threads
snd weaving their net OF circumstan-
tial evidence in the EmanI el Baptist
church cases, so as to leave no weak
meshes through which the suspected
man can escape. 1t is thought how
they Will make an endcavor to try
Durant first on the charge Of murders
ing Miss Lamont, as the evidence 10
lmuch stronger than in the case OF
the killing of Miss Williams.
Referring to the rumor that Blanche
Lamont was lured to the church by
Durant's promise to perform a cIimi-
nal operation on her TO save her from
disgrace, and that when 5he shrieked
in agony he caught her by the throat
TO stine her cries and clicked her to
death, DR.. Barrett. the city autopsy
physician, stated the rumor was with-
out foundation. lie says he took sps-
cial care In the autopsy and he is saes
isiled that no criminal operation was
performed. He also states that both
yrunk women died OF strangulation.
anG that the kife wounds In Miss Will
Jams body We're not the cause OF death.
Among the grewsome exhibits In tho
case was one that was quietly taken 10
police headquarters and locked up, and
not until late hour last night did tho
police acknowledge they had IL. This
exhibit IL u shoe, and ON It's sole are
dark spots that We're made when tho
wearor stepped Into a pool OF blood
that came from the body Of Miss VII
llpms. The shoe Is the property OF Rev.
George Gibbons, pastor OF the church,
and II was found in his study IN tho
edliicc Inst Sunday Just after the find-
ing OF the body OF Miss Lamont. This
created "A sensation. and gives those
who have been limiting that Gibbons
may be guilty an opportunity TO EN-
phnsize their suspicion. However, the
police do not seem to see In Il any
thing that duplicates the pnstor, for.
they argue, the person who killed the
two girls was familiar wit. the church,
must have known the shoes We're there,
and may have worn them In his bloody
undertaking.

W. D. shipman and by Messrs. James
Carter ana Elihu Root for Hilton and
Libbey.
Enormous interests are involved In
the decision. II is claimed judgments
to tho amount of 100000 900 have been
rendered IN the Canadian courts alone
against American citizens, the validity
or which depends upon the decision in
these cases. The lawyers agree there
Is scarcely any doctrine of the law,
SO Tar as respects formal and exact
statement is In a more uncertain con-
dition than that relating to the force
and effect of the judgments of the
courts rendered in one nation by the
courts of another nation.
Many decisions have been rendered
In England. but they appear to have the
question In an involved and confused
condition.
Messrs. Carter and Root laid down
the proposition In their argument on
the Hilton case that the question OF
the conclusions of n foreign judgment
was not so conclusive as to preclude
inquiry In the original merits of the
controversy which the state is under
It's ordinary obligation to the party
demanding the inquiry to give him at
least one full and fair opportunity OF
having the cause adjudicated upon its
original merits. This opportunity they
claim was denied them in this case.
1t IL understood that n decision has
been reached by the court In the case
but 1t Is not known whether the opin-
ion of the court will be prepared or
when II will be handed down. 1t is
considered probable, however. that the
court Will again allow the matter to 40
over through a recess.

sousa, the great composer and leader.
in his description Of Anton schott. who
is to appear at Hotel Worth Wednes-
day evening next, says:
Among the matchless heroes Of Ger
man dramatic art, the names OF the
peerless tenors, Anton Schott and Al
bert Niemann, win go down to posterity
among the first. Wagner has had no
higher opponents of his grand muse,
and as for Schott, he Is equally great
as an interpreter of the eXacting Wag-
ner roles, or OF the tender sentiments
OF an Italian serenadc. With his noble
presence, his exalted style, his pure
method and his feeling and soulful ex-
preston of every phrase OF the lyric
art, he has commanded the enthuslas-
tic plaudlt OF the audiences Of all great
theatres In Europe.
anton schott the fRvorite alike of
German, italian, French and English
audiences, will record new trlumphs
among the appreciativo music lovers

Labor Organizations Trying TO Form
Closer Union.

Waco. April 9l.--A conference Of the
representatives OF various labor organl-
cations is being held tonight In the
city. Tho Federated Trades organized
in Fort Worth last year appointed n
committee to confer It'll representatives
Of the Farmers state alliance and the
Federation OF Labor. with Wow OF
consolidating the three organizations.
George Bcadle OF Dallas was nude
chairman OF the committee. and by
correspondence a meeting was arrang-
ed here tonight between the committee
and II. a. High OF Blooming Grove,
ex-presldent of the alliance, for that or
ganizatlon. and John Dyer OF Calves
ton. representing the Federation OF
Labor.
The purpose OF the meeting as re-
ported by the parties IL to effect n
closer union OF all labor organizations
socially and fraternally, and that the
mYemont has no political Significance.
Tho conference began Mt 3 o'clock pre-
sided over by Chairman Beach. IL. 8.
T.. Ashby OF Fort Worth Is expected
tonight. II ia expected that the move
ment for consolidation for labor or
gambling has been accelerated by the
passage OF tho antitrust bill in Its re-
viRed form which has been construed
to prohibit the organizing OF the labor
Ing people. The disposition among the
leaders seems 10 be TO perfect their
consolidated organization and resist
every attempt 10 apply the antitrust
law to them. The conference has the
appearance OF being one Of the vital
Significance and the result may launch
a good sized sensation.

committed suicide some time last night
by blowing or the top OF his head with
a shotgun. The dead body was found
lying IN the road 'just north OF the

tructlon is evident by letters In his
pocket addressed TO his father and to
a young lady to whom he has been
paying attention. In his notea the
young man declared his Intention TO
end his life, but assigned no reason.
The position OF the body and the fact
that the shoe on the right foot had
been removed, showed that he must
have been standing up when he lired
the fatal shot by resting the butt on
the ground and pressing the trigger
with his toe. The full charge OF shot
entered his head above the mouth and
