REACHED AN UNDERSTANDING.
South Capitol Street Crematory Again
in Operation.

Garbage Contractor Warfeld and In
ventor Brown of the Brown crematory have
had an understanding. This morning the
procession of garbage carts awakened the
neighborhood of South Capitol street, and
when the inhabitants of Buzzard's Point
ard the vicinity awoke smoke was seen
ISIS uing from the tall chimney of the long
silent garbage crematory at the foot Of
South Capitol street
Some of the citizens committee of the
South Washington Citizens Association
strolled down to the works to satisfy them
selves. The crematory was in full blast,
and everything was working smoothly
At the other crematory near the observa-
tory there was different scene. The Gre
matory was idle. Everything had shut
down. A reporter of The Star was inform
ed that the inventor had shut down for the
purpose of making some improvements
ard that he was going to build an addi-
tIcn to his plant in order to bring his fur
mace up to the capacity stipulated III The
contract.
Contractor Warfield was at the District
building this morning to report the opera
ton of the Brown crematory. In reply to
a question he said that he had decided TO
give Inventor Brown another chance and
had agreed to allow him to operate his
plant for fifteen days No definite arrange
mert had been made for the acceptance of
the plant, although he thought if every
thing was satisfactory some arrangement
might be made for the purchase of the
Crematory
The health officer made an inspection of
the Brown crematory yesterday afternoon
and found it ready for burning garbage
He said that he had no information
concerning the sale of the plant; that the
contractor had merely informed him that
the crematory was to be used, and he had
inspected it and found 1t equipped.

SENATORIAL COM ENTS
What is Said About the Presidents Mes
sage in the Upper House.
Republicans Consider 1t an Able
Document, While the Demo-
Gratis Make Light of 1t.

Comment on the first message OF Presi-
dent Mckinley to Congress was freely
made by senators today. The message vas
not a surprise to any one. While republi-
cans commend 1t as being terse and of
sound republican doctrine. democrats are
inclined to pronounce 1t rs of little i'm
portance, and not what they would look
for at a special session of Congress con-
vened by the President.
The fact that the message dealt only with
the tariff question is regarded as an indi-
cation that the President desires that one
subject disposed of and does not wish any
other questions brought into the extra ses-
sion Those who are close to the Presi-
dent say he wishes Congress to do its work
as rapidly as possible. consistent with a
proper disposition of the tariff question,
and then to adjourn, so that the country
may settle down to business as soon as
possible. and no longer be disturbed by
uncertainties in legislation.
Senatorial Expressions.
To Star reporter today Senator Elkins
remarked: 1T is an admirable message
and faultless. 1t sums up the situation
exactly it is. 1 agree with all the
President says in his message
Senator Linday said: 1.-The Presidents
message is wonderful in what II does not
say"
Senator Foraker: Il think it is an ad-
nirable document"
Sarator Timan: 1T is a ,,ere statement
of figures that any of us could have secured
from treasury reports. But / did not
ticipate anything more from this admins
tration than in increase of taxation. The
republican party is divided on every Other,
question:.
An Admirable Document.
Senator Lodge: 1T is admirable pro-
duction. 1t simply presents the facts and
these carry their own conviction
Senator Burrows: 1T is a strong indict-
ment of the democratic party"
Serator Morgan: The President wants
TO raise the price of everything without
giving more money with which to DO the
buying

murderer since his arrest has been eX-
planning how he came to commit SO aw-
full a crime. 1t seems from his confess
sion that he began years ago TO disre-
gard the law in minor matters, ana ii is
equally worthy of note that he was Sue
cessful in his course When he learned
that the laws might be broken with i'm
punity he took advantage of the fact and
soon fell into the habit of attempting to
make his living by unlawful means. He
was fairly successful a part of the time
and when luck was with him his crcum-
stances were easy. He found by long
experience that he could generally out
wit or ca iole whatever officers might be
knowing to his acts and his contempt for
them and for the law increased. The
downward road for him was gradual, but
the descent was certain and at length
there came a day when his evil desire to
get something for nothing led him to
commit the crime for which he must pay
the penalty Of his life.
The blame is all his. and vet perhaps
not all If this young man, who appears
to have been a fellow of more than ordi-
nary intelligence had learned at the out
set of his career that breaking the law
brought u penalty he might have taken a
different course. after the salutary lesson
once or twice. The case is a plain illus
