Senate District Committee WIN Act
Tpon 1t Today. l.,-~ -

The meeting of the Senate District Com
mttec this morning is expected to de
velop some very interesting results. The
close of tue session is drawing near and
whatever is To be done must bc done 'soon
Senator Harris has returned and the
dollar gas bill will probably be discussed
and disposed OF. as ii has been understood
that it was only waiting his return.
Also several street railway bills are
expected to come in for a stare of the
time. and the measure submitted by the
Baltimore and Ohio management through
the roads attorney, Mr.. George f. Ham,
iltoD, will likely receive some attention.
This bin provides for change OF grade
Of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad every
where in the city, SO that there will be no
longer any crossings with streets at grade.
Also some changes in the route or the
two branches are proposed so as to take
smaller amount OF the public space IN
the city.
The bill will be introduced by Mt. Nc
MILAN tomorrow and sent to the Com
missi one rs. There will probably be a
number of changes from the form in which
the bill was turned in by Mr.. Hamilton
Another bill that Senator Mcmillan may
Introduce is that OF the lexington st.cet
railway, which the Commissioners have
passed upon adversely.

BLACK PLAGUE RAGING.
Special. Report to the Marine Hospita

Special Report to the Marine Hospital
Service Received.
A report received by Surgeon General
Wyman, OF the Marine Hospital service,
from Passed Assistant Surgeon w. F.
Arnold. of the Navy, stationed at Hong
Kong China, dated March 2, states that the
plague" haG assumed epidemic proportions
at that place.
The isolation of the suspected individuals
had ceased to be practiced, and all bills
of health of the port stated its prevalence,
giving details of the precautions taken in
cases where important mail steamers were
concerned. 1t was also very prevalent
in Canton and high up West River.
Surgeon Arnold concludes his report as
follows: II would direct Your attention
to the fact that the virus of this disease
seems as fully as ineradicablc as that of
glanders from surroundings favorable to
it, which ] consider that few of our large
cities most probably extend. Hence, i
think that the most careful measures
for its exclusion should be insured by re-
peated inspections of all steamers reaching
our country from Southern China

SUICIDE ON HIS BIRTHDAY
Queer Incidents Connected With the
Death of Henry s. Fitch.
He Was a Friend of II. B. Cuttings
and of Congressman Harter, Who
Died the Same Way.

Coroner Hammett yesterday afternoon
Investigated the circumstances of the death
OF Mr.. Henry s Fitch, and decided that it
was clearly suicide.
peculiar coincidence attending the IN
fortunate occurrence was the fact that
yesterday was Mr. Fitch's birthday. He
was fifty-Scven years old on the day he
died. His family and friends can assign
no cause for his act other than that he was
mentally affected
Mr.. Fitch was last seen by the members
OF his immediate family at an early hour
Wednesday night. He then appeared to b:
in his usual spirits and there was no in
dication from his manner or conversation
that he had the slightest thought OF taking
his life. He told has sou, William =. Fitch,
with whom ne resided, that he would spend
The evening at.tbe house of a friend, aad
would not be home until late.
About IL 80 the son heard his father
enter the house. Mr. Fitch went at once
10 his room and retired for the night.
Yesterday morning his breakfast was sent
10 his room, after the usual custom, and
al was not thought strange whcn lie did n OF
appear during the morning, as he often
spent the early part of the day in his
room.
The first intimation cf the trG gedy which
the family received was when Mrs Fitch
falling in the room above.
AFR. Fitch left note in which he asked
that his body he buried beside that OF his
wife in his native town, Mansfield. Ohio.
He gave no reason for taxing his lffe and
nothing can be learned from the mfSsive.
IL was written in Il firm, bold. hand that
showed not the slightest wayer or hesitation.
Coroner Hammett vie wei the remains late
in the afternoon and at once gave q certiri-
cate OF death. The body was given in
charge OF an undertaken and prepared for
burial and will he taken to Mansfield. Ohio.
Mr.. William Fitch will accompany the re-
mains and expects to leave this evening
The dead man was a friend Of the late
Robert B. Cuttings, who killed himself re-
Gently, and also an intimate friend OF the
late Congressman Harter, who met death by
his own hand.
