House Proceedings.

Washington. April 1.-THE house was
in session but ten minutes today, and
then adjourned until Saturday without
transacting any business. The session
was long enough, however, to furnish
occasion for n display of the division
among the democratic members which the
recent caucus had not been able to heal.
In this division Mr.. De Almond of Mis-
souri, appeared as the leader of the OPP
position to the leadership of Mr. Bailey.
As soon as the journal had been read,
Mr.. Dingley made motion that when
the house adjourn it be until Saturday.
Mr.. De Almond and Mr.. Simpson i'm
medately demanded division. The vote
on the motion was 131 to 3S. Mr.. Bailey

interviewed Mt LOngview.

Longview, Tex, April 14.-(Special.) J
j. Il. Knight, charged with robbing the
First National bank here some time ago,
was lodged in Jail here today by Sheriff
Howard. Knight is believed by people
here who have called Oh him to be the
man who was known here as jim Jones,
but he denied it and failed to recognize
any of his visitors. A reporter visited
him and he talked very freely. He says
the stories told of his capture by Sheriff
Jones of Kimblc county, as published,
were untrue. He claims that at the
time he was captured that he was in the
employ of man named Jim Grain, who
lived in Lavaca county; that two other
men were hired with him, one named
Johnson and the other Pettigrcw. At
the time of the capture Grain and John
son were killed and Pcttigrew ''outran
the bullets"
The newspaper report that Johnson
was his brother, he declares to be I'M
true, and that he had only known John
son about a year. He further says that
when arrested the party was travelling
in n wagon and had only eight horses
with them and not Il drove of cattle, as
reported. He also claims that being
asleep at 3 o'clock in the morning, the
only intimation he had that any one
WuHlcu 10 arrest MN WIS Wncn awaken
ed by the firing and a shot in the thigh,
and before he got his pistol he was shot
a second time and was then too weak
to hold his pistol up. He makes this
statement, he says, to correct reports
that have been going the rounds of the
papers.
He denies, also, throwing away Mt
Junction City Il lockct containing a pic
ture of his wife or of ever having had
such n locket.

Recognized Greek Officers.

Elassonia, April 14.-The Turkish
troops are now centered in very strong
force at Grevena and the insurgents have
little chance of advancing further.
Seyfoullah Bey, the officer who was
sent by Eden Pasha to krania with in
structions to ascertain the exact situation
in that locality, is an eX-attache of the
Turkish embassy at Athens. He de-
clared he recognized among the insurgents
near Krania and between that town and
the border several Greek officers whom
he had previously met at Athens. He
also stated that the Greek troops on the
frontier had made no attempt whatever
to prevent incursions on Turkish terri
tory. The Turkish officers complain that
the Greek troops are trying to provoke
an attack. Yesterday Il detachment
crossed the frontier and for a brief period
occupied the monastery near Damasi,
subsequently retiring.

HORRIBLE TRIPLE TRAGEDY.
Three Persons Brutnlly Murdered by
Insane Man.

Pascoag, II. l., April IA horrible
tragedy was enacted early this morning
at the home of Edward Reynolds, in the
town of Oakland. Mrs. Reynolds, her
husband and an adopted daughter. Ter
villa, were brutally murdered and the
house was then set on fire, presumably
TO cover the crime. Martin Mawry, the
hired man employed by Reynolds, who
is undoubtedly raving maniac, was
found hiding in barn near Oakland, and
Mt once placed under arrest. The bodies
were mutlatcd. the crime evidently hav-
ing been committed with an axe. Mawry
is bachelor, about 80 years of age.
From the position of the bodies it is
believed Reynolds was called to his
daughters room by some unusual sound,
and that when he reached the side of the
bed he received his death blow. At that
time Miss Reynolds was probably killed.
The murderer, it is supposed, then went
to Mrs. Reynolds room, and after stab
bling her twice in the face, battered her
head in with some blunt instrument.
When Mowry left the house he went to
the woods. where he shot himself in the
head The bullet only stunned him. how
ever, and he did not repeat the attempt.
Mowry was willing to talk after his ar
rest, but from his appearance and man
ner il seemed clear that he was insane.

BRYAN INTERVIEWED
On the Monetary Would
Rejoice AZ the Move Meets
Success


Washington, April 14.-Speakiug of the
presidents appointment of commissioners
to visit foreign countries in the interest
iof an international monetary conference.
William j. Bryan today said he thought
the personnel of the commission was ex-
,cellcnt 30 far as Mr.. Stevenson and Mr..
Wolcott were concerned. Mr.. Paine he
did not know.
"Mr Wolcotts visit abroad last sum-
mer." said he, especially fits him for
service as one of the commissioners, and
Mr.. Stevenson's conspicuous position in
the democratic party and the nation makes
his appointment entirely appropriate. The
fact that he is bimetalist and actively
supported the democratic party in the de-
mand for independent action by the
United States, instead of being an ar
gument against him, will lend weight to
his influence rs one of the commissioners.
All independent bimetallists favor inter-
national bimetallism If that is possible.
but do not believe in waiting for other
nations TO act. The six and half mil
lion voters who supported the demand
for independent action will heartily re-
joice IL the commission is able TO bring
about a restoration of interna tional BIZ
metallism. But large majority, if not
all independent bimetallists, regard inter-
national bimetallism as n very remote
possibility. If the commissioners fail to
secure an international conference. or II
successful and an international confer
.ence does not secure foreign cooperation
for the restoration of bimetallism, the
cause of free silver will be stronger In
