CONGRESSIONAL FORECAST.
GENERAL PENSION BILL TO COME
TO A VOTE TODAY.
River and HarbOr Bill and Naval Ap-
preparation Bill VIII Probably
Pass This Week.

WASHINGTON, April 26.-It is prob
able that the general pension bill will
be brought to a vote tomorrow, under
the operation of an order to be reported
by the Committee on Rules. General
Henderson, Chairman of the Committee
on Judiciary, expects that the House
will then take up the bankruptcy bill
and discuss it for two or three days.
Mr.. Babcock, Chairman of the District
Of Columbia Committee, to which COM
mittee Mondays session is assigned un-
der the rules. says that if deprived of
| that days session the committee will in
sist upon some other day in the week in
which to press District bills Aside
from the pension and bankruptcy bills
on the programme of the House, it is un-
certain what will be done. and every
| thing is dependent upon developments
from day to day.
The Senate will probably continue to
devote most of its time to the consider
alton of appropriation bills, being far
behind the House in the disposition of
these bills. Mr.. Hale will call up the
naval bill tomorrow. Mr. Frye ex-
poets to report the river and harbor bill
either tomorrow or Tuesday at the lat
est, and it is the expectation that both
the bills will be passed before the week
is ended.
Mr.. Sherman will renew his attempt
to secure passage of the bill to repeal
the free alcohol for the arts clause of
the tariff bill. Should he do so Sena-
tors Lodge, Chandler, Platt, Pritchard
and others will vigorously oppose him.
and it is openly said that if this matter
should be pressed it will involve an in
definite prOlongation of the session and
the opening of general tariff discus
sion.
Meanwhile Mr. PETERS bond resolu-
ton, now divested OF nearly all its sali-
ent features. holds its place as the un-
finished business, giving way from dav
to day for the consideration of appro-

A THREE-EYED BABY.
Portland Can Boast of an Unusual
Freak of Nature.

PORTLAND (Or.), April pa babe
that arrived at the home Of w. P. O'Neil,
q railroad man on the west side, ten
days ago to-day, will go through life
gifted with extraordinary foresight, if
the possession of a third eye counts
for anything. The child has three per-
fectly developed optics, two where they
ought naturally to be found, and the
third one between them, over the nose.
Strangely enough, this Disagreement
does not render it hideous, as might be
expected. 1t blinks just as naturally
with the central eye as with the others,
and seems to see as well with it.
This was Mrs. O'Neirs ninth Off
spring, the other eight being healthy.
W ell-developed children. At it's birth
the babe, to all appearances, was but
an ordinary infant. The nurse, how
ever, noticed that there was a peculiar
little formation just above the nose.
She called the attention of the doctor
to this, but he looked lightly upon it,
expressing an opinion that it did not
amount to anything, and would soon
pass away.
Whatever it was, the formation re-
fused to disappear, and the medical
man became quite interested. Three
days after the baby made it's appear
ance the doctor was greatly surprised
to notice that what looked like an eye
had formed in the child's forehead. He
called in some of his brother profess
sionals, and they were of the unani-
nous opinion that it was an eye, and
no mistake about it
OF course the child was too young to
permit of a complete examination, but
the older it grew the more perfectly
the eye developed, until now the third
optic is as clearly developed as the two
natural eyes.

THEOsOPHIsTs IN COUNCIL.
Ernest Hargrove of London Elected
President.

NEW YORK, April 26-The second
annual convention of the Theosophical
Society in America began this morn
ing in the concert hall of Madison
Square Garden. The attendance was

of the United States being present
Acting President DR.. j. d. Buck of
Cincinnati was elected permanent

Presidents annual report. It recited
the fact that, despite the differences
among theosophists, there were to-day
JOS branches in the society, as against
102 last year. The report dealt in gen
eral terms principally with the marked
progress made, and urged continued
efforts on the lines laid down by the
late President Judge. Treasurer August

on hand of $1,000.
At the afternoon session the several
committees, including the Committee
on Resolutions, reported, the first res
olution being adopted by a standing
vote and was eulogistic of the late
William O. Judge and his work. The
resolutions pledge the lives of the mem
bers to the completion of the work he
undertook. There were several other
resolutions, referring more especially
to the work of the society, which were
adopted, and then came one which ex-
cited opposition and it went over for
further consideration. The clause in
the resolution which caused objection
tn ha of no ieE,
demned the practice of vivisection and
hypnotism, the latter being character
lied as a practice of ignorant persons

back to the committee.

Rambo to the chair and he nominated

CHATTANOOGA CTenn), April 90
Between midnight and l o'clock a mob
of masked men rode quietly into the
town of McMinnville, in Warren Coun-
ty, and, proceeding straight to the JAIL
entered the jailer'S bedroom before he
was aware of their approach. The
jailer, seeing that resistance was use
less, endeavored to gain time by rea-
soning with the leaders, hoping as
sistance might come. The mob, how
ever, became impatient and, forcibly
taking the keys, entered the jail wards
and took therefrom Victor and William
Hills, brothers, awaiting a new trial,
charged with the murder of Carroll Mar
tin, in Van Buren County, nearly two
years ago.
The moment the mob entered the cell
where the Hills brothers were confined,
Victor, the eldest, snatched up a bed
slat and knocked three of them sense
less one after the other, before he was
overpowered. The younger brother,
William, uttered a piercing Shrek and
fell on the floor in a swoon. Without
giving the boys time to sdOn their
clothes, the masked men dragged them
from the building, and, mounting their
horses, rode quickly and silently out of
town to a point five miles distant,
where, with a few preliminaries, they
hanged them to a tree.
The victims of the tragedy were the
sons of Squire Lawson Hills, one of the
most highly esteemed residents of Van
Buren County, and for years leading
member of the County Court.
The crime for which the Hills
brothers were lynched was committed
in 1894. Carroll Martin, an aged citi-
zen, who lived with his daughter in the
mountains of Van Buren County, and
who was supposed to have $1,000 in
his house, was attacked one evening in
August of that year about twilight by
two men with their faces masked. The
OLD man was shot to death and his
daughter, who struck one of the men
on the arm with an ak, was shot in the
leg. The men finally left without find
ing their booty, the money having been
thrown from the window into the grass
by Miss Martin. The Hills boys we16
suspected on account of certain inju-
dicious remarks in regard to the crime
They were tried, found guilty and SEN
fenced to hang, but appeals, new trials
and change of venue to Warren

INDIANAPOLIS, April 26.-The fate
of Sunday ball was definitely settled
to-day. when the Sheriff, with a big
force of deputies, prevented the game
that had been scheduled between In
dianapolis and Grand Rapids. Fully
1000 people gathered 70 see the game,
and, in order to keep within the law,
no admission was charged, but the
Sheriff was obdurate and threatened to
arrest every man that attempted to
play ball. Nothing was left for the
managers but to explain matters to
the angry crowd and call the game off.
There will probably be no further at
tempts to play Sunday ball in Indianap-
oils, and under the Western League
rule the Sunday games scheduled here
will be played elsewhere.
