HE WAS FOUND DEAD
Body Of Daniel S. Pickrell Discovered
Under Tree.
Death Came During the Night
Natural Causes for the Sad
AGair-His Family.

Daniel S. Ptckrel a member Of the
family of that name in Georgetown, was
found dead this morning beneath huge
oak tree near the line Of 23d street, Just
north Of Florida avenue, and his body was
sent to the morgue. Annie Williams, a
colored woman who lives at No. 1918 Dist
street, found his body there. She was
passing along the street at the time and
saw the body beneath the tree 1t was only
a few minutes after I o'clock, and she
supposed the man had probably slept thera
all night. She could discover no signs OF
life and was unable to see his face, for
the reason that his hand had been thrown
carelesSly over 1t as If he had fallen asleep
and had put 1t there to protect him from
the dew. Not being satisfied whether he
was dead or alive, she walked near him
and then discovered that his body was SO
motionless that death must have claimed
him.
She made n report of what she had seen,
and the police patrol wagon from the third
precinct was soon upon the scene. Police
man Parham was in charSeiof the wagon.
with Driver Walker, ard they found the
body in such twisted position that they
were satisfied that the man had died in
agony. In his hands there were small bits
of weeds that he had evidently grabbed
while suffering intense pain.
When the body reached the inorgue there
was no one there to identify it. but an in
surance paper of the Anglo-American Saw
ings and Trust Company contained the
name of the dead man. Inquiry was made
at the office of the company, and Mr.. Hay
wood, friend of the family, went to the
morgue with the sister-in-law of the de-
ceased. The latter remained in the office,
while the former went into the little brick
structure, and fully identified the body.
The deceased was about thirty-six years
old. He was a granfsol of the late Govern
or Spr!gg Of Maryland, and d con Of Col.
PiCktell, a prominent citizen of North Car
olina. The unfortunate man was a victim
of strong drink, and also suffered an affec-
ton Of the heart. He has been drinking
heavily of late, and had not lived with his
wife at 1919 11th street for several months.
His wife IS a clerk in of the depart
her. Recently he has lived at the house of
his sister-in-law near 18th and o streets
northwest, and had also spent some little
time at the home of his sister, Mrs. Capt
Wilson, in Georgetown.
Coroner Hammett was notified of his
death, and as his friends are satisfied that
his death resulted from natural causes, 10
inquest is likely to be held. His father was
notified of his death this afternoon, and his
body will probably be turned over 10 his
wife or sister. His wife moved from II tn
street to Ktngman place only o short time
ago, and she was notified of his death.

THE VIRGINIA DEMOCRATS,
Interest Felt in the State Convention
to BE Held Thursdny.

to BE Held Thursday.
The Virginia state democratic convention
will meet at Staunton on Thursday. The
convention, 1t Is agreed, will be one of the
most important in the history of the state
1t has been conceded for some time that
the convention would be overwhelmingly
for silver. Representative Otey will leave
tomorrow for Staunton. Senator Daniel
will also be present. Mr.. Otey said this
morning that the silver men would have,
In round numbers, about 1900 delegates in
the convention, and their opponents about
900
1t is practically settled that Senator
Daniel Will head the delegation to Chicago
and that the unit rule will be adopted. The
other three delegateS-at at-large haven't bean
decided upon Mr.. Otey's name has been
mentioned, but he will ask the convention
not to send him, as he has good reasons
1or not wanting to go. The name Of Senator
Martin has been mentioned but it is said
that he will ask his friends not to present
his name. He is not fully identified with
the silver forces and would obey the In
structions Of the convention, if sent to
Chicago, but doesn't want to be placed in
that position.
The convention, IT is admitted, will adopt
strong resolutions in favor of the restora-
ton of silver. There will not be much of
fight by the gold men over the resolutions
for free coinage. but, 1t is said they will
bitterly oppose the adoption of the unit

THE COMMITTEES REPORT
The Presidents Objections to the River
and Harbor Bill Answered.
He Is Said to BE Wrong In His Facts
Great Loss If the Act Should
Fail.

Chairman Hooker Of the House commit
tee on rivers and harhors today submitted
long report recommending the passage Of
the river and harbor bill over the veto of
the President The objections of the Presi-
dent are reviewed In detail. All but twen-
ty-seven of the All projects in the bill. the
large number being alluded to by the Pres
ident, the report says were contained in
previous river and harbor bills.
1t is also claimed that most Of the pro-
jects were contained in the bill of 1890, up
on which the late Gen. Casey submitted a
report saying that but eight were of lin
tied local benefit. 1t is also stated that the
bill was prepared after careful examina-
ton of the reports of engineers. The Pres
ident alluded to ''improvidently planned
projects but the committee asserts that
provision has been made for prosecuting
where there seemed a doubt concerning
them, by modified projects, all to be done
under the direction of the engineers. 1t is
aIs3 claimed that the President is indefinite
IN his language in not specifying the OBJ
Jectfonable features of the bill.
President UNIFORMED
Replying to the assertion of the Presi-
dent that there are appropriations for
works which private parties have actually
agreed to do. the committee says that the
his knowledge is wholly without founda-
ton AS to the cash appropriation of S14-
NS,ctO the committee says that this is to
be spread over two years and not expended
in one fiscal year. 1t is also asserted that
the President places the amount under the
contract system about 100000 higher
than the bill, and that instead of $50 OU,-
600 being expended during the year ending
June 81. 1S3o as asserted by the President,
the committee says that in case all con-
m Ia ta1y a1fE rod
into not more than s16,612 S73 could be ex-
pended in any one year.
Smaller Schemes.
The report also says that the President
is in error in saying that there will be
another appropriation for smaller schemes
not covered in the contracts" Answer
Ing the charge Of extravaganza the COM
mittee says that for the past six years the
average expenditure has been S1G,7CO 1900,
and estimates from the present bill and
appropriations for 1898 and 1900 that the
average expenditure for the next six years
Will be $13, 100000. The committee quotes
from the report of Secretary Lamont in
dorsing the contract system in making
river and harbor improvements ard recon-
mendinS the extension of that policy 20
embrace other worthy improvements"
Attention Is called to the fact that If the
bill should fail. work upon hundreds of
projects in course of completion would be
suspended at great loss. The report con-
ciudes that after a careful re-examina ton
OF the bill, the committee sees no reason
why the House should recede from it's ac-
