ANNIE MGRATH'S DEATH.
Another Theory Arises Which Seems to
Be Well Founded.

Philadelphia. March 26.-Another the
DRY has arisen in regard to Annie Nc
Grath's DEATH This is to the effect
that the girl being engaged to be mar
ried TO a young man whose real name
has not yet appeared, attempted to sever
her relations with Samuel p. Langdon,
the latter threading to reveal their init
macy if she did so, and that she, fear
ing such disclosure, attempted to kill
him and then committed suicide. This
supposition is borne out by statements
made by Miss Addie Grifiiths. friend
of Annie who was with her the day
before her death. She then told Miss
Griffiths Langdon was to meet her that
night Saturday, adding. 'I'm not going
to have anything more to do with him.
I'll tell him when | see him that won't
keep his company any more"
A diary has been found in Langdon' S
possession which is said to contain. I'M

STATEHOOD BILLS.

Washington, March 26.-The statehood
bills for the admission of the Territories
of Arizona and New Mexico will be again
passed upon by the house committee on
Territories at its meeting next Thursday.
Today the committee decided without
formal vote to take the bills up next week
and vote on them second time. The
New Mexico bill has been reported favor
ably to the senate, but the house COM
mittee, by very close vote taken several
weeks ago, decided not to report them to
the house. 1t is now claimed by the adj
vOcates of statehood that two committee
men who voted against reporting the bills
have come to the opinion that the best
plan will be to lay them before the house
and let the whole house take the re-
sponsibility of passing or rejecting them.
This course has been advocated by some
of the party leaders in the house.

PACIFIC ROADS MATTERS.


Washington, March 26.-In response to
a resolution the secretary of the interior
today sent to the senate statement from
the Office of the railroad showing the cost
of construction of the Union Pacific to
have averaged $4,000 a mile; of the Cen
trail branch, 1913: Sioux City and Pa
cific, $43, 600, and of the Kansas Pacific,
$53. 767.
The report shows that as early as 1881
the officials of the roads refused to reveal
to the government officials the amount
of stock held by individual stockholders,
and this information has never been in
the possession of the commissioner. The
commissioner is also ignorant as to where
the bonds of the companies are held. The
mortgage debt of the Union Paclfc, eX-
elusive of the government lien, is $685.
1885.
The land grant to these four roads
amounts to 1854, 900 acres, of which
100000 was to the Union Pacific and
100000 TO the Kansas Pacific.

NO WORD RECEIVED.

Washington, March 26.-Mavroyeni
Bey, the Turkish minister, said this af-
ternOon that he had not received any
word from his government that he was
recalled, as stated in Constantinope
dispatch, and expressed the opinion that
the story was untrue. He visited the
state department on business today and
saw Secretary Olney. His visit was made
the basis of sensational and unfounded
reports that he had presented his letters
of recall to the secretary. The minister
did not even mention the matter of recall
to the secretary.

NON-PARTISAN COMMITTEE

Il
Washington, March Ex-senator Per-
kins, from the committee on education,
today presented report authorizing a
non-partisan committee on labor, agricul-
ture and capital. The committee shall
consist of five members in the interests
of labor, to be designated one from each
of the five labor organizations; five in the
interest of agriculture, three of whom
shall be designated by the Farmers ALI
Nnce and two by the National Grange,
Ind five in the interest of capital, to be
telected from among manufacturers and
those representing other business pur-
suits. He said:
The problems presented in the various
fields of labor and in the different de-
partments of business have become and
are becoming more complicated through
the progress which marks the industrial
age. The relations of labOrers to each
other on the one hand and to capital on
the other, are now so varied and differ so
greatly in widely separated sections of
our country that it has become necessary
to establish some central bureau of com
mission which shall be able to view COM
prehensively the entire field and ascertain
the true relation to each other of the
facts presented. In no other way can
the many interests of half continent be
brought into harmony: in no other way
can that feeling of good will of all classes
toward each other be aroused which is
essential to the happiness, prosperity and
progress of the Nation"

Washington, March 26.-After a SEES
sion with the senate conference commit
tee on the Cuban question today, the
house conferees agreed to accept the SEN
ate resolutions. The conference today
was merely formal in character as this
conclusion was practically reached at
Yesterdays meeting. This action will
have the effect of taking the question en-
tirely out of the senate and of transfer
ring all further discussion on the Cuban
question to the house. The senate Teso-
lutiOns are as follows:
"Resolved, by the senate (the house of
representatives concurring therein), That
in the opinion of congress a condition of
war exists between the government of
Spain and the government proclaimed
and for some time maintained by force of
arms by the people of Cuba and that the
United States of America should main
tain a strict neutrality between the con-
tending parties, according to each all the
rights of belligerents in the ports and
| territories of the United States.
Resolved, further, That the friendly

offered by the president to the Spanish
government for the recognition of the
| independence of Cuba"
The house cOnfereeS were reluctant to
relinquish the resolutions prepared by
their committee, but the plain alternative
was presented to them of the senate
resolutions or no resolutions. They were
| informed by the senate conferees that the
only course by which resolutions could
hn 1Nxyh hot
which would shut off the senate from
more debate. They were told that Sena-
tor Hale had received notice that if the
question was brought forward again in
the senate it would be debated to the end
of the session by the opponents of recog-
milton of the insurgents. The senate
conferees also said that they believed
6libustering tactics would be resorted to
| in the senate to suppress action if any
opportunity for their exercise was given.
| These representations prevailed upon
the representatives of the house to accept
the senate declaration. The first section
| of the resolutions was acceptable to them
| from the first, but the second, of which
Senator Cameron is the author, seemed
to them entirely impracticable of eXecu-
| ton.
Under the agreement reached the SEN
ate cOnferees will report the agreement
to the senate and the resolution will be
closed so far as it concerns that body.
The house conferees will report to the
house resolution that it accept the SEN
ate resolutions, and the house will vote
upon the ratification of the report to-
morrow.
Several members of the house are pre-
pairing speeches on the subject.
| General Draper of Massachusetts, who
was the most active opponent of the reso-
luton in the committee on foreign affairs
but who was unable to be present, will
make Speech.

TO RAISE THE PREMIUM.

Washington, March 26.-The treasury
department has instructed the New York
sub-treasury to raise the premium on
gold bars from 1-16 to 3-16 of per cent
The departments purpose in the issu-
ance of this order is to do what can be
done legitimately to prevent future ex,
ports of gold The order has triple pur-
pose. First, it will tend to raise the
price at which gold can be exported profit
ably, the price of exchange now being
dangerously near the export point; sec
ond, it is regarded as good policy to get
rid of coin instead of gold bars, because
the former frequently have lost weight
through abrasion; and, third, it is intend
ed to, meet the action the Bank of Eng
land has recently taken, raising the price
of gold bars to II shillings 10 pence, and
thus practically lowering the rate of ex-
change at which gold can be shipped from
the United States to Great Britain to
about 4SS ~ or 1888 "a.
Treasury officials admit the issuance
of the order, but will not talk further con-
corning it.

Proctor, Call and Chandler paid high
tributes to General Casey and approved
the resolutions, although Mr.. German
thought it might establish bad prece-
dent
Mr.. Hill withdrew and the Green reso-
luton was adopted.
A joint resolution was adopted allowing

tons from Brazil and Spain.

bility of the construction of such water
ways.
The legislative appropriation bill was
then taken up.
Mr.. Sherman moved to strike out all
the sections referring to a change in the
system of paying district attorneys and
marshals. He spoke against cucumber
ing appropriation bills with general leg
islation He also opposed the high sal
aries proposed by the bill At time
when the revenue of the government is
less than the expenditures high salaries
should not be paid.
MIR. Sherman asked why these Federal
officers should receive more than prose-
cutting attorneys and other local State
officers.
Mr.. Hoar, chairman of the judiciary
committee, supported Mr.. Sherman's mo-
ton, while Mr.. Hill said it was good
time when the Populists held the bal
ance of power in the senate to abandon
