WASHINGTON DELEGATION A UNIT

Want Public Buildings for Spokane,
WaIla W ALA. seattle and Tacoma.
Washington, Jan. 5.-Washington's
senators and representatives are unit
in favor of public buildings for the
cities of Seattle, Spokane, Walla Walla
and Tacoma, and the usual formality
of having bills introduced and referred
to the proper committees have been
gone through with early in. the session.
1t will not be surprising, however, if
all efforts fail in this congress. Mr..
Reed is known to be opposed to such
appropriations at time Of great flnan-
cial stress, and as chairman of the
committee on rules he will exercise a
czar-like power upon all legislation.
The fact that the architect of the
treasury and the commissioner of the
central land office have called upon
their subordinates in these cities for in
formation regarding the needs of the re-
spective government officials for ac-
commodations, ETC., means nothing,
save that the bills already introduced
will be referred to the architect and
to the commissioner for their reports
as to the advisability or rather desir-
a-ility of their construction at the pres
ent time, and it is customary to have
the information called for at hand in
order that an immediate reply may
be made.
1t is believed by many of the newer
members that public building bills
modest in their demands, wherever the
need for the same can be clearly shown,
can be passed through the house de-
spite the opposition of the older lead
ers. and as such bills went through the
senate last session no trouble is feared
there. The more conservative members,
however, look for the real difficulty at
the White house. and certain ones close
to the president say he will never sign
bill for such purpose while there is
a deficiency in the revenue, or a need
for an issue of bonds to maintain the
gold reserve.

A BRIEF SESSION IN THE HOUSE
Member From Utah Is Compelled 10
Wait for His Credentials.

Member From Utah Is Compelled 70
Wait for His Credentials.
Washington, Jan. 6.-The session of
the house today was exceedingly brief.
Mr.. Broderick of Kansas made a re-
quest for unanimous consent for swear
ing in Clarence e. Allen, elected to rep
resent the new state of Utah. He ex-
planned that Aliens election was regu-
lar, and there was no contest, but as
the governor and other state officers did
not assume their offices under the pres
idents proclamation until today, their
signatures to Mr.. Aliens credentials Of
course had not been signed.
Mr.. Crisp of Georgia did not question
the facts as stated, but thought Mr..
Allen should not be sworn in until a
report had been made upon the case by
the committee. The matter was referred
to the judiciary committee, with leave
to report at any time.
On Mr.. Hits motion a resolution
was adopted appointing William L..
Wilson on the board of regents of the
Smithsonian institute.
At II 20 the house adjourned unfit to-
morrow.
A caucus of republican senators will
be held tomorrow to consider the ques-
tions that have arisen in the house tar
if bill. The committee is undecided
between reporting the bill without
amendments and amending 1t so as to
make sure of the support of certain
senators who have indicated a DISPOSE
ton to press very strongly for in
creases.
There is some apprehension lest the
silver republicans and the populists,
who, it is believed, would ordinarily
support a tariff bill, may insist upon
adding a free coinage amendment to
the tariff bill, and it is hoped the eau
Gus will have the effect of indicating
what may be expected from the repub-
Hcan silver senators.

The ActOr or Irish Pegs Slow y Dying
In BIoominGdale Asylum
New York, Jan. 6.-Only a few weeks
more of life, at the most, remain to
"Billy" Seaman, who in his lifetime has
given joy and pleasure to hundreds of
thousands Of theater-goers in this coun-
try, and whose forced withdrawal from
the boards by the decline of his mental
powers marked the beginning of the de-
cline of those distinctively Irish plays
once so popular with the sons and
daughters of Erin's isle.
For weeks and months poor Billy"
and who for long time after his re-
ception at Bloomingdale asylum was
among the gayest of the gay in that no.
ted retreat, has lain upon his bed utter
ly unconscious of his surroundings, and
there have been a dozen times within
this period when nurses and physicians
in attendance have imagined that the
last spark of life was Pickering. Food
and stimulants are administered to
him in liquid form, but even with this
nourishment he has wasted away to a
skeleton, and his vitality is so low that
his legion of friends and acquaintance
in this city are expecting at any mo-
ment to learn that he has passed to his
last account.

THE LATEST IN CHECK FoRGERIes
Nevada Bank OF san Francisco Lost
$4,000 by the Scheme.

Nevada Bank OF san Francisco Lost
$4,000 by the Scheme.
Chicago, Jan. "a dispatch from San
Francisco says:
One OF the cleverest check forgeries
perpetrated here for years has just
leaked out 1t costs the Nevada bank
$40 900, and 1t presents some new wrink-
les in forgery to the local experts.
December 10 A. H. Holmes. a mer-
chandise broker who had offices in the
Chronicle building, and who had done
some business through the Nevada
bank. presented a check at that bank
drawn to his order on the Croker
Woolworth bank OF this city for s22. O00
The check was drawn in Woodland.
Cal, and Holmes explained that he
turned 1t in for collection at the Nevada
bank to save the trouble of Identifying
himself at the Croker oolworth
bank. AS he had had an account at the
Nevada bank for several months and
had deposited and drawn considerable
sums. the cashier did not suspect any
thing. The check appearing all right
to the cashier, he put $4,000 to Holmes
credit and paid him in gold $4,000. That
is the last that has been seen of him or
the coin.
When the check reached the Wood
land bank through the clearing house
Inquiry was made at once, as the only
check drawn by this bank on the Crock
er bank near the date of this bogus
check was for $12 Experts were put on
the check and microscopic inspection
showed Holmes had raised the $12 check
to $4,000. and had not only made eras-
ures so as to defy anything but a mi
croscopic inspection, but had filled In
the perforated figures and had made
new perforations of $22, 900.

A. Davidson, charged with extorting
$500 from Rev DR.. c. o. Brown, was re-
sumed in the police court this after

school and Of the church in her presence
She narrated her intimacy with Matte

with Brown, and told how she had Sc

NO TRACE OF HIM.
Chief RObling viii Offer q Reward For
Van Horns Capture Funeral
Of the Victims.

There are still no tidinSs of the fugi-
tive murderer, Van Horn. The police
are sparing no effort TO track him down
and they feel confident that he will be
captured before many days. The belief
Is still general. and is shared by the
police that he is in hiding in this city
and that sooner or later lie must be
discovered.
Chief Robling will today offer a re-
ward for his capture and there is a
possibility that this may bring some
tidings of his hiding place. if as is be-
lieved, he is being hal'bored by some of
his low companions.
The two men who Were on guard at
the Westcott house. Sunday night. re-
iterate that the man they saw peerins
in at he house was none other than the
murderer. Both knew him we'll and
this fact coupled with his actions go to
prove almost beyond doubt that Van
Horn made a second revisitation to the
scene of his crime
Albert Saunders also reaflirmed that
the man he met at the Delaware and
Hudson station at O'Clock Saturday
morning was Van Horn. Saunders is
a merchan doing business on Penn ave-
nue.. Saturday, morning he went to the
station early to inspect a car load Of
watermelons. As he was walking
around can he came upon Van Horn.
He knew him well as both boarded at
Westcott's at the same time. some three
years ago. Saunders was out of town
the previous night and had heard moth
ing of the murder. When he met Van
Horn he said:
