A FOOTBALLS BULLET.
owen Barker, a Lynn Bartender, Re-
ceived 1t In the Breast.

CelVeu III In the breast.
Lynn, Mass, Aug. 2.-Owen ]. Barker,
the victim Of the murderous assault and
attempted robbery early yesterday
morning, is still at the Lynn hospital
in a very precarious condition, with
slight chances of recovery. Yesterday
afternoon DR.. Herbert Newhall, assisted
by City Physician Little and Hospital
Surgeon Davis, removed the bullet from
Barker's back
The attempt at robbery was one of the
most daring ever perpetrated in Lynn.
1t seems hardly possible that in a thickly
settled community, surrounded by
houses peopled with occupants, that a
citizen, almost at the threshold of his
own dwelling, could be submitted to
such a savage assault, in which four
pistol shots were discharged, without
at least one of the desperadoes being
captured. But this is a fact, neverthe-
less.
Barker was found in the yard by a
neighbor and was removed to the Lynn
hospital. After considerable probing
the bullet was removed. His condition
is critical, and in the opinion of the hos
pital surgeons he will probably die.
Barker was bartender for Thomas G..
King of West Lynn. Mr. King has been
sick for some time, and it has been Bar
kers custom to carry the days receipts
home with him at night. Saturday night,
however, he carried the money to Mr.
King at the latters house, and when the
assault occurred he had only 81.
The police think that the men who at
tempted to waylay Barker were familiar
with his habits and with the business
methods of the saloon.

Cardinal AntoneIlrs VIII.

Cardinal Antonelli's will bequeathed
20 francs to the Hospital of the Holy
Ghost in Rome and a similar sum to
the holy places at Jerusalem. Such
small requests by rich prelate excited
remark, but it was found that by an
old Roman law no will was valid I'M
less it contained these two legacies, the
minimum sum being francs AT Gen
GA similar bequest had to be made to
the Hospital of Ponnatione, and at
Turin to that of st. Maurice and st.
Lazarus, the object being in all cases
the support of these institutions. Anto-
nelli, dying at the Vatican, conformed
to the old usage.

SPAIN AIDED BY THE CHURCH
Don Carlos Pretensions Condemned by the
Vatican.
Sagnstn Ministry Well Pleased With
Reception of Proposed Autonomy
by American Press.

MADRID, November 3O.-A member Of
the Spanish cabinet in an interview just
published says the government of Spain is
well satisfied with the results of the pub
hcation of the decree providing for an
autonomous form of government in Cuba
and Porto Rico. adding that the manner
in which it has been received in the United
States is favorable to Spain.
The cabinet minister is further quoted as
saying that the cniy difficulty to be ap-
pretended is in regard to the position
which the Cariists will assume, but the
Spanish government, he explained, does
not believe the country will support Don
Carlos, whose. ambitions are condemned
oy the Vatican
The minister further said that the plans
of the Carilsts had failed for lack of
money. He denied that Gen. Weyler, the
former captain general of Cuba, who is
alleged to be in sympathy with the Carlists,
had teen summoned to Madrid.
Senor Cos-Gayon, former minister of the
interior, in an interview is said to have
asserted that the conservatives will not
make any attempt to place difficulties in
the way of the policy of the liberal gov
ernment in establishing autonomy in Cuba
and Porto Rico.

TO TAKE A MIDDLE COURSE
Policy of the Committee on Appropria-
tions.
Chairman Cannon Says That a Happy
Medium Will BE Struck-Netth..
Penurious Nor Extravasant.

Representative Cannon of Illinois chair
man of the committee on appropriations,
has arrived in the city, and was at the
Capitol today. Speaking of the approach
ing session of Congress he said to a Star
reporter he thought its work would be
over by June
AS to appropriations" said Mr.. Cannon,
Il do not think that we shall either starve
the government or enter into extrava-
gances. The treasury has not yet begun to
feel the full benefit of the tariff legisla-
ton. The revenues belonging to this fiscal
year which were cut off by anticipatory
importations have not yet been caught up
with, and. therefore, We are not in a posi-
ton to enter upon lavish expenditures
we Will strike happy medium. The treas
ury Is not situated as respects funds as
to necessitate meanness. The income is
sufficient for reasonable liberality
My own idea is that We do not want to
mortgage the future by inaugurating new
projects and entering upon a new line of
expenditures. We should simply be liberal
IN carrying out what We have already un-
dertaken. being neither extravagant nor
parsimonious. 1t will be time enough for
new projects when the full effect of the
tariff act has been felt and the money is
actually in the treasury"
DO you think there will be any general
legislation of Importance during this scs-
sfon?" he was asked.
General Legislatiou Not Expected.
Il do not. 1 think it is impossible and
ought not to be undertaken. We got the
tariff bill through during the extra ses-
sion under extraordinary circumstances.
We did not have a republican Senate. but
democrats and populists and everybody
else realized that more revenue was a neces-
SHY and the opposition shrunk from the
responsibility of depriving the government
of necessary revenue. The one proposition
was put before them and nothing else al
lowed to come up to distract attention. The
whole country was crying out for action,
and all eyes were fixed upon the Senate.
Under these circumstances they could not
help but act.
These conditions cannot exist now with
res pect to any other measure. During this
session the situation must necessarily be
different and 1t will be impossible 10 force
the Senate again. We have done what We
could, and more than could have been done
Without great perseverance, skill and de-
termination. We have a tariff law which
Will produce sufficient revenue; we have a
good currency-a currency perfectly safe as
ohg as present conditions are maintained,
and we have not the power to enact any
new legislation which We might regard us
desirable.
There is no sense therefore in a:stract-
ing the country and unsettiing things by
fruitless agitation. The republicans have
hot a majority in the Senate and cannot
kgislate. What is the use Of our snortiny
around and agitating the country about
what We might. should or would do-if we

WILLIAM WANTS A NAVY
German Emperor's Address at Closing Of
the Reichstag.

BERLIN. November 3O.-The last session
of the present reichstag was opened in the
white hall of the royal castle at noon to-
day
Emperor William opened the session in
person, for the first time since 1894. The
ceremony took place In the white hall of
the royal castle. His majesty read the
speech from the throne.
The navy occupied the principal place in
the speech. The passage on this subject
was as follows: ''The development of the
German navy does not correspond with
Germanys mission at sea, and in the event
of warlike complications it would not suf-
flee to assure the security of the home
ports and coasts against a blockade or
more extensive operations upon the part
of the enemy. Neither has it kept pace
with the rapid growth of German trans
oceanic interests
Nv hile German trade is participating in
creasingly in the worlds exchange of mer-
chanuise, the number of our war vesse.s
does not suffice to afford our countrymen
abroad the measure Of protection CORE

the maritime powers of the hrst rank, Ger
many must, nevertheless, be placed in a
position to ma -ntain, by means of prepara-
ticn at sea, her perstise among the people
of the globe.
Referring to the naval demonstration in
kiao-Chou bay, China, Emperor William
said:
The murder Of the missionaries in China
and the attacks upon mission stations
which have been placed under my Imperial
protection, end their welfare, which have
