o. S. Senate Proceedings.

WASHINGTON, June 5.-Senate-
Amendments to the joint resolu-
tion for the reorganization Of the
Northern Pacific railway were Offer
ed by Mitchell, (Rep.), and Nelson,
(Rep.), providing that the new
company shall he liable on land
treaties of the old company and
also for injuries to persons and
property.
Morgan, (Dem), OF Alabama,
asked for action on his resolution
inquiring of president for informa-
ton as to capture Of the COMPETE
tor by Spanish warship and con-
domination to death OF United
States citizens, and whether any
demand had been made for release
of citizens.
The senator said while the case
was one of great gravity, involving
the unwarranted condemnation to
death Of American citizens, yet no
information is available except
through press reports and rumors.
The executive branch wac not
given the slightest information on
the subject. Mr.. Morgan read
statements requiring the president
to make demand for the release
of American citizens. He argued
1t the duty of the president under
the constitution to keep congress
advised on state OF the Union, and
In particular on foreign affairs. OF
late the courteous custom has
arisen to adopt resolutions making
requests on the president for in
formation, but this did not relieve
the president from his duty of
giving full Information, And 1t Is
only Of late days, Morgan said,
that this failure of the executive
to give Information to congress
had grown mp. Some question was
raised by Sherman as to the pro-
priety of Morgan making public
use OF testimony OF Lawrence be-
fore the committee on foreign re-
lations. The Alabama senator
sharply rejolned that there would
not be such concealment and
hiding facts from the country.
Henderson, (Rep.), Of Iowa, from
committee on rules today pre-
sented general order making
tomorrow individual suspension
day. Rule adopted without divis-
ion.
There has been tremendous
pressure from members for recog-
milton to pass bills Of local import
ance and this order will give them
the opportunity.

Mrs. Shirley Claims it All.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, June s.
Kansas City has produced a claim.
ant for the estate of the late Mrs.
Gates Stokes-Stetson, whose re-
cent death in Boston, soon after
the death of her husband, the late
multi.millionaire, was widely cir
culated. The contestant Is Mrs.
Catherine Shirley who has lived
here for year and whose husband,
from whom she Is separated, is q
resident OF Chicago. According to
Mrs. Shirley's story her, mother
was wooed and won many years
ago while she was still a circus
rider by Carl Antony, q young cir
Gus performer, from Germany.
Mrs. Shirley is their child. She
was born at Quincy, ILL.,, 10 years
ago and shortly after her birth was
left by her mother with a Mrs.
Snyder, who left her. She was
married while quite young at Hous'
ton, Tex. From the time Of her
birth until her mothers death Mrs,
Shirley was supported by money
sent her by her mother, but she
saw her mother very seldom and
never saw the late Mr.. Stetson. 1t
is her belief that Mr.. Stetson knew
nothing of her mother having had
a child by a former husband. Mrs.
Shirley has employed counsel and
taken steps to prosecute her claim
in the Probate court at Boston.
She claims the estate as the sole
heir of her mother.

WILLIAMS YACHT.
SHE WALKS AWAY WITH THE
BRITANNIA.
The New Meteor Will Probably Take
the Cake From the British
at Oowes.

LONDON, June 5.-Tbe Times
says: "Meteor's display justifies
the opinion that she is far and
away the fastest large racing cut
ter ever seen in British waters.
Unquestionably she is q great
triumph for her designer, in re-
gard to the speed she attained In
what must be a half prepared
state, her sails not having had the
stretch taken out Of them and the
new gear generally working stiffiy.
Nothing but praise can be spoken
in regard to the appearance Of the
boat. She is prettily sheered and
has not excessive overhangs, while
her bow is longer and it's entrance
finer than in any previous cutter,
and she left the water very clean
30 that it may be assumed that
there Is nothing heavy In her after
body. Her sails cover 12,24O
square feet. This perhaps replaces
the Valkyrie. Yet she showed that
she was stable enough to carry
such a cloud of sail. Her main
boom is 81 feet long, which is
shorter than Vslkyrie's. But per-
haps her main sail Is equally as
large. 1t lie unquestionable that the
Meteor is q phenomenal vessel In
light weather, and as she has less
beam and Is finer lined than Val
kyrie there is no reason why she
should not acquit herself we'll In q
smart blow. It is the first time
that Britannia has had such an
exemplary beating and she has
without doubt met far more than
her match"
The Times also has an editorial
on the subject In which 1t congrat-
ulates Emperor William upon his
victory, which IL says is merited
reward for q true sportsmau. 1t
expresses regret at the emperor's
decision not to visit Cowes this
season, which will deprive him OF
the pleasure of witnessing the
Meteor's Victories.
"While we are sorry" the Times
continues, "for the incidents which
led to this decision, we appreciate
the good sense and good feeling
which led him to refrain from WIS.,
iting US on conditions new to US

CAMP0S- BORRER0
B0RRER0 WAS THE AGGRESSION
AND TOO PREVIOUS.
Both Generals are Under Arrest and a
Reconciliation Between Them is
Being Attempted by
Friends.

New YORK, June ga special
to the Herald from Madrid says:
Among the multitude of rumors
and press reports with regard to
the Campos-Borrero imbroglio, 1t
is difficult to arrive at anything an
absolutely correct version OF the
affair In all its details. The fol.
lowing, as can be gathered, fairly
explains the position:
"For a considerable time there
existed undisguised ill.feeling be-
tween the two generals, which
eliminated in superstition, erron-
eous, 1t appears, on the part OF
Gen. Borrero, that General Campos
had exsrted himself to get his
election as senator from Cuenaca
annulled. He therefore addressed
letter couched In the following
terms to Gen. Campos:
"Having heard Of the underhand
work your excellency is organizing
with the object of annulling
my election as senator from
Cuenaca and taking into account
that for fourteen years you have
been prejudicing me In my profess
sion and that In this world every
thing must have an end my pa
thence is exhausted. have a pair
Of pistols at your disposal. 1 am
inclined to do for you what the
Cuban insurgents failed to do"
Thereupon Gen. Campos sent his
seconds to demand reparatiou or
satisfaction. A meeting resulted
at the Villa Oles. The minister of
war appeared on the scene and
failing to get their word Of honor
from the principals that they
would not fight placed both OF
them under arrest. The matter
remains thus at present. The
war minister's latest statement
10 that both generals are under ar
rest in their respective houses
awaiting further orders.
"The queen has instructed the
minister of war to confer with
both principals with view to put.
ting an end to the matter. The
affair is causing immense excite
ment and party feeling" IL

ST. LOUIS VICTIMS.
Harnessed Horses Indicate That the Driv-
ers Were Drowned-Relief Pour

luS LIZ
ST.. LOUIS, June 5.-Miss Nellie
Conrad, who was reported as miss
ing, returned home after the storm
uninjured. She is the sister Of
Lieut.. Conrad, Of Jefferson bar
racks.
A reward of $1,000 is offered for
the bodies of Morris Fisher, Of
Harden, Ills, and 8 i'm Woods, Of
st. Louis, who were on board the
J. j. Odill when the boat sunk.
Money aud clothing continue to
pour in and thousands OF people
have received aid in one shape or
another.
The total amount of contribu-
tions received is $l6l ,65S.
1t is feared a large number Of
people now reported missing from
East st. Louis have found watery
graves. In the light Of recent de.
velopments 1t seems these fears
are not unfounded, for in the past
two days two bodies have been re-
covered from the river. 1t is sup.
posed they were blown into the
water. In addition to this, q large
number of horses and other ami
mails were found in the debris
along the banks. A number Of
these horses were fully harnessed
and as the storm occurred when
the river front was crowded with
teams going to and from st. Louis
with the last load OF the day, 1t lie
thought a number Of drivers may
also have been swept into the
stream. There is no way to fully
determine the number Of missing.
The relief committee has only the
names of those who have been In
quired about by letter or telegram,
and no reports Of missing have
been made at police headquarters.
Therefore, the exact number is not
known, and while 1t lie generally
thought all the dead have been
taken from the wrecked buildings,
IL IL expected the death list will be
swelled considerably when the
river gives up Its victims.
Up to date the missing number
26. Burial permits to the number
of 102 have been issued, one in
quest for which no permit was
issued and there have been two
additional bodies found. The in.
jured in hospitals number 4S, OF
which seven cannot live.
