profound sensation at the capital. The first

Since then the truth OF the statement has
been confirmed through dozen different
channels, and the White House programme

with the arrangements OF Speaker Reed and
his lieutenants for a short session, nonactien
on currency and financial questions and
record for businesslike celebrity in passing APP
preparation bills. OF more importance still,
from a Reed standpoint. the prospect of
proclamation of Congress beyond the limits
sought to be fixed by the Reed phaIanx of
leaders gives direct encouragement to the
formidable and growing opposition to- the
tlemen who have been deputed TO run Con-

The Reed programme is to cut appropria-
lions to the lowest notch, and arbitrarily
choke off river and harbor improvements and
new public building projects and delay action
for strengthening coast defenses and in
creasing the navy. This plan runs counter TO
the desire and interest of "A very decided ma

would not take much provocaton for them
TO go into open and successful revolt. They
are already very FESTIVE under the gag and
are squirming and fussing because OF the re-

heard protests against the policy of running
Congress in the political interests OF one

appropriations for needed internal improve

would be vastly more popular than the timid.

WHY MACkAY LIVES EAST.
Declared San Francisco Unsafe for
Rich Men After He Was shot

San Francisco Call
There is an incident connected with the

serious affair Mr.. Mackay was preparing
TO engage in several large undertakings In

Among these were plans for me stock

made that ne would head a scheme 10 make

line. At any rate, he proposed TO make
San Francisco his home. and, as he ex-
pressed ii, spend his money in the place
where he had made it,

wound Mr.. Mackay evidently expected that

Rippey was scarcely lodged I'm the county

mines and farms were wiped OF OF the pro-

his affairs he left for New York with the
determination OF making his home in the

THOSE OBSCENE LETTERS.
Will Wood May Not he Prosecuted by
Federal Authorities.

WASHINGTON, Feb 25.-It is very i'm
probable that the case of Pearl Bryan,
the murdered Cincinnati girl, i'm it's new
phase as involving violations OF the postal
laws. will ever reach the Postoffice Depart
ment for ITS action. The published letters
bearing on the proposed criminal operation
on Miss Bryan. which passed between Jack
son. charged with the murder, and William
Wood. held as an acc0mplice, are regarded
by the postal authorities TO be obscene in
the view of the law, but the matter doubt
less will not be taken up except In case
OF acquittai on the murder charge and then
the prosecution will rest with the Society
fer the Suppression of Vice and the United
States attorney for the district OF Ohio.
The evidence would be worked up by X.
w. McAfee. who, though postoffice In
spector In the st. Louis division, would act
for the society, holding the same relation
TO the western field for the society that
Anthony Comstock does to the Eastern field
In no case will postal authorities here be-
gin the prosecution Of the men and the
only way IL may be brought up is by a
possible reference of the matter TO Assistant
Attorney general Thomas for al. opinion
The maximum penalty for the offense is a
fine OF $500 or five years Imprisonment,
or both at the discretion of the court.

1.-THE first we knew that VIII was in any
way connected with the affair was the simple

try folks who had not access to the daily
papers, that my son had been arrested at
indianapolis with bloody knife and some
red-handed murderer of Miss Bryan. All
sorts of stories got in circulation. Finding
this sentiment strong, and yielding 10 the
general public sentiment, willingly brought
the boy back here and surrendered him to

Regarding the published report that he
contemplated giving up his ministerial work,
Mr.. Wood said il was absolutely without
foundation. He had not felt like conducting
services for the first two weeks after his
great sorrow came upon him, but he had
never thought for a moment of giving up his
work. He said he had received hundreds of
letters of sympathy. and not one Of criticism
