the Casino yesterday. DR.. Austin Flint
Jr. was called in and advised that she be
removed at once to her home.
The news of her illness at once spread
along the Rialto and lost nothing in the
telling. A lew hours later thu rumor was
going the rounds that Miss Fox was in an
exceedingly critical condition, and would
probably never be able to play again. 1t
was said that DIR. Flint had m ade frequent
calls a. Miss Fox's home during the day
and deemed her condition so serious that
a professional nurse had been engaged TO
take care of the actress. DR.. Flint was
seen last night.
He said that she was suffering from
nervous prostration, as the result of over
work and worry concerning the new pro-
duction. There was no occasion iOr the
alarming rumors OF her condition, how
ever, as he WAS sure few days rest
would bring her around all right and
enable her to go on with the rehearsals.
Miss Fox has not enjoyed the best of
health recently, and returned from tour
on the road several weeks ago, during
which she played forty consecutive one
night stands. She was completely run
down and tired out, but at once began
studying and rehearsing her new part
Her overtaxed nerves could not stand the
strain and her collapse followed. Her
managers said last night they had no
doubt she would be able to resume re-

WASHINGTON, D. c.. March 30.-The
Republicans of the Senate this morning
put more enthusiasm into the organiza-
ton of the Senate so far as the committee
vacancies are concerned. The caucus was
called for 10 OF clock and was promptly at
tended by almost every one OF the straight
Republicans of the party. Adjournment
was not taken until 80 O'Clock.
Senator William l.. Allison, chairman
of the caucus committee. made an elab-
crate report, il which he told of the
troubles that had been confronted and
which seem to be in the way of the COM
mittee. Many conferences had been
headed by Democratic steering com mmit-
tees, and at no time were the me m berg of
that committee, and particularly German.
its chairman, willing to admit that there
was any change in the condition of the
Republican party since the Senate COM
mittees had been reorganiSed by the Re-
publicans. The Democrats insisted, said
Allison. that they should have the same
number of men on the committees as they
had under previous arrangements, and
declined TO permit the Republicans to
take additional mem bers sufficient to out
vote the silver Republicans who had
bolted the ST. Louis convention and who
were now mem bers OF the committees, If
they continued with the Democrats.
Short speeches were made bv Senators
Hale. Gallinger. Wolcott, Wilson and
others. Senator Mason of Illinois claimed
that new Senat tors were entitled to COM
mittee assignment, and that efforts should
be made to pl ce them. If the efforts TO
seat them failed there would be no blame
attaching to the Republicans.
Allison said that the situation had been
carefully canvassed, and while sufficient
votes 10 pass the necessary resolution
were not in sight he said that the COM
mittee hoped within very short time
to be able to say hat the votes were at
hand to give the Repu blicans full control
of the m I'm bership of the committees.
The result of the discussion was of a de-
cidedIy varied and somewhat neEulous
character.
A resolution instructing Chairman AlIi-
son to appoint q committee on commit
tees, which will assign Republicans to the
various committees on the basis insisted
upon by the Republicans. was passed
This will at least put the machinery in
motion and force the fighting to a finish.
II is understood that com mbinatfon has
been fioated by certain persons whereby
they are to vote with the Republicans on
the question OF recognition. The Popu-
lists who are to be given good chairman
ships are said to be Senators Jones of
Nevada, Stewart and Kyle. 1t Is under
stood that Senator Hoar of Massachusetts
opposes such com bination and will not

NEW YORK, N. Y, March 30.-United
States District Attorney McFarlane said
yesterday that an investigation into the
cases of alleged cruelty on the part OF
Car tain Reed of the ship I. +. Oakes,
which came into port recently With sew
eral of the crew dead and several seriously
i'll from scurvy. was being made with
view OF occurring indictments against Cap
tain Reed should the facts warrant it.
The statute which Captain Reed IS said to
have violated is that relating to the dis
tributlon OF food and lime Juice to the
men.
Samuel A. Fraser and Charles Robin
son, seamen OF the Oakes went from the
marine hospital at Staten Island, where
they have been laid up with scurvy, to the
Office OF Gorge c. Bodine. a lawyer, to see
ii criminal or civil suit for damages
could be instituted against Captain Reed.
They also went to District McFarlane's s
| office where a statement was taken from
each man. Bodine says that II any &C.
ton is brought he will sue in behalf of the
eleven survivors of the crew and the fam
lilies of Thomas Ring and A. Judge. who
said in their wills, which named Fraser
and Robinson as executors, that they
were being starved to death.
A delegation from the Seamen's Union
appeared before District Attorney McFar-
lane yesterday and urged him to prosecute
Captain Reed. 1t is said that Harry

Tomorrow afternoon at 2 o'clock the
vote will be taken on the amendments
that are pending up to that time, and the

vote will be taken is matter which can
not now be determined. The discussion
this afternoon was on the Chiffon amend
ment, as for several days past.
1t looks very much as II this amend

the Senate to-day on his amendment, and
during the course of the discussion Platt
OF Connecticut asked Chiffon why his
proposed amendment was better. than that
proposed by the committee. Chiffon as

Certain Conditions Under
Which Railroads May

But All Their Acts Are to Be
Approved by a Commission
to Be Created.
Due N,tice Must B Given Before
Rates Are Increased or Mate.
rally Reduced,

WASHINGTON, D. c.. March 30.-In
the Senate to-day Foraker of Ohio intro
duced bill that permits railroad pooling
under certain conditions. They are per-
mitted to enter into contracts, agree
ments, ETC., enforcible by the parties,
provided that such agreements shall be in
writing and filed with the commission
created by this act, and shall become law
full and enforcible between the parties
thereto at the expiration OF twenty days
from the filing thereof, unless the commits
sion shall in the meantime make an order
disapproving of such agreement. Such
dlsapproval is required when an investi-
cation shows that the proposed agreemeE
would result in unreasonable rates or
otherwise contravene any provision of the
act. The commission is given authority
to revise or modify the rates established if
investigation proves the necessity for
such m odification, or it may order the
agreement to be terminated at a fixed
date.
The orders and findings Of the commIs-
sion are made subject to review by any
Circuit Court OF the United States sitting
in equity in judicial district in which
any party to the contract has its principal
offices. An appeal may be taken to the
Supreme Court of the United States.
The further details OF the bill require
ahe conspicuous posting OF all tariff
sheets, rates, etc. No advance can be
made in rates except upon ten days pub
lie notice. which must state the changes
proposed to be made, the time when they
will go into effect, etc. Reductions in
rates can only be made after three days
public notice, and the same provisions
apply to joint rates and tariffs.
1t is made lawful for common carriers
whether subject to this act or not, to
enter into agreements not forbidden by
The fifth section of the interstate COM
merce act in regard TO the making and
maintaining of the lawful rates and
charges specified III the separate or joint
tariff schedules published as required by

speech in favor OF it and offered a new
amendment to taKe the place of the one
now pending. 1t comprises the salient
features of the Chiffon amendment and

is patterned after the Lodge amendment
of the last Sc ~sion and eliminates from the
scope of the treaty all questions relating

either of the contracting parties and pro-
yides that the Senate shall pass, as part
OF the tr.aty-making power on all ques-
tiens proposed to be submitted TO arbltra-

WASHINGTON, D. c., March 30.-The
open session OF the Senate to-day lasted
until p NJ, when the Senate resumed be-
hind closed doors the consideration of the
arbitration treaty, spending two and half
hours in the discussion. To the l404 bills
that had been introduced up to the close
OF Mondays session. there were enough
added to-day to bring the whole mum bel
above the figure OF 1500-the vast majority
of them being pension bills.
The Populst Senator from Nebraska,
Allen, occupied more than an hour in an
ella borate argument to prove that Congress
is mot possessed of the constitutional
power to impose tariff duties On articles
of daily consumption for the express and
avowed purpose of increasing the pri-
vate fortunes of one class OF citizens at
the expense of the Masses" He char
acterized as preposterous the claim that
high tariff raised the price OF farm
products and was of vast benefit to the
farmers.
The resolution mbodying the doctrine
which he had offered yesterday was, at
the close of his speech, referred to the
Com mittee on Finance.
Another menace TO the Dill now penQlng

TO TAKE THE PLACE OF STEAM.
Mr.. Trpfer CLAIMS to Have Made
WoHderfW Discovery With
[ oUefsd AR

NEW YORK, N. Y, March 30.-It was
developed yesterday that the explosion at
the Hotel Endicott on Saturday evening
was the result Of experiments which G. E.
Iripler has been carrying on for eight or
nine years in search of new power. He
processes to have discovered it, and says
he is going to reyolutionize transporta-
tion and manufacturing.
The mysterious whItish compound
which was supposed to be a new and
powerful freezing mixture is liauefied air
and is the basis OF Tripler's power, which
he contends will take the place of steam
and produce energy at a minimum OF cost.
He is not ready to let the pubic into his
secret. How he liquefies air he will not
tell. 1t has b, en- done before, but in small
quantities, in scientific laboratories, but
never commercially. When liquefied the
air is at a tenn perature of 450 degrees be-
low zero OH the Fahren heit scale. 1t boils
or vaporizes again al $40 degrees below
zero, and it is from the expansion conse-
quent upon this vapOriZation that Mr..
Tripler obtains his power, which is trans
milted through an engine exactly as the
power generated by steam from boiling
water is transmitted.
The most remarkable claim is yet to be
told. Mr.. Tripler declares that his lique-
fled air in boiling, or changing to vapor
again, absorbs the heat in the surrounding
air so quickly that it is in turn Iiquefied
and flows into the reservoir, which in
this manner is always kept supplied.
That is, once the apparatus is charged
with supply of liquehed air It feeds
itself and will practically run forever
without any cost for fuel. Mr.. Tripler
declares. too, that there is no loss of power
in this process.
Professor Gordon of Columbia College,
an authority on physics, when asked for
an opinion on the matter yesterday, was
inclined to be skeptical. ''Of course. 1t is
possible to liquefy air" said he. "That
has been done repeatedly, and there is no
reason why an engine should not he run
with it, but it has never been done COM
mercially, and energy must be used to
liauefy it in the first place. 1t seems abb
surd to say that the apparatus will feed
itself without loss of power. It,has been
demonstrated that liquefied air in vapor-
izing will condense very small proper
tion of its own bulk from the surrounding
air. but the proportion is so small that II
may be disregarded. Of course, if Mr..
Tripier's claims are true he has made a
wonderful discovery"
