MESSAGE TO CONGRESS.
1t Will Recommend Commission to Adj
just the Currency Question.


1t VIII Recommend Commission to Adj
just the Currency Question.
Washington, July president Nc
Kinley Tuesday night called a special
meeting of the cabinet Wednesday. The
regular meeting would not have oc-
Cured until Friday and there were
some matters it was desired to give ear
ly consideration.
After discussion lasting over an hour
the cabinet decided that the president
should send to congress a message rec
ommending legislation providing for a
commission to adjust the currency ques-
tions of the country. 1t was resolved
that this message should be sent to con-
gress Thursday, providing that the tar
if bill is by that time passed by the
senate. IT is the expectation Of the pres
ident that the subject will receive the
attention Of congress during the present
extra session of congress. The message
itself is written and is short. It's princi-
pal feature is quotation from the pres
idents inaugural address on the finan-
cial subject. The tariff bill was not con-
sidered at the meeting except in its
bearing on the currency commission
proposition.
The president will ask authority to
name nine commissioners and for an
appropriation for the expenses of the
commission, but will make no sugges-
ton as to the political or other compost
ton of the commission, nor will he make
any suggestion as to the lines of in
vestigation. He will simply call atten-
ton to the necessity of reform in our
currency and national banking laws and
state that in his opinion this reform is
equally important with the enactment
of protective tariff law

Cyclone Strikes Lowry and Kills Seven
PersOns-Many Injured. Q
Duluth, July 7-Dispatches received
here late last night at railroad offices
say that cyclone has obliterated the
town Of Lowry, Mimi, and that seven
people were killed and many injured.
Lowry is situated on the 800" line.
seven miles from Glenwood on the
Northern Pacific railroad. Particulars
are meager, but 1t is learned that the
cyclone travelled from southwest to
northeast and that the little town of
Lowry was in the track of the cloud.
The cyclone struck Lowry shortly
after 6 o'clock in the evening. Evil
dences of the cyclonic cloud were seen
in Duluth about Z o'clock. The sky
was overcast with clouds that circled
as they moved rapidly northeast and
there was a yellow cast that was as
cribed to the sun penetrating through
them. People looked in wonder on the
scene, but nobody ascribed the condi-
tons to a cyclone. The clouds moved
high in the air and circled with per-
fectly steady motion.

REED rs CAUGHT MAPPING.
Representative McMillin Causes a Hasty
Adjournment of the House.


Adjournment of the House.
Washington, June 7.-Representative
McMillin of Tennessee caught Speaker
Reed unawares Wednesday Rising to
a parliamentary inquiry he asked if it
sion of the rules, Monday being suspen-
sion of therules, Monday being suspen-
sion day, and a recess being taken to
Wednesday, the session of Wednesday
therefore being a continuation of Mon
days legislative day.
The speaker promptly replied that it
would.
"Then I move, Mr.. Speaker, that we
suspend the rules and pass the Cuban
independence resolution"
For a moment the speaker was non
plussed, but only for moment, for
while McMillin was speaking to his mo-
ton the speaker called out:
"The gentleman from Maine is recog-
nized."
This was the speakers favorite cue
to Dingley of Maine to move adjourn
ment, but the latter was taken COM
pletely by surprise and sat dazed in his
seat while the house was convulsed by
the ludicrous situation After a little
hesitation Dingley made the customary
motion to adjourn, thereby cutting off
the memorial services on the late Judge
Holman, which had been set for the
day. Roll call followed. McMillin's
clever parliamentary stroke was loudly
applauded by the Democrats.
1t was clearly the original intention Of
the house leaders to keep that body in
session Wednesday to await action on
the tariff bill in the senate, but a motion
to adjourn was the only escape for the
speaker from a consideration of the Gu
ban resolutions so suddenly precipitated.

Short Extra Session in Iowa.

Des Moines, Ia, July S.-The third ses-
sion of the Twenty-sixth general assem-
bly, convened Thursday afternoon and
adjourned sine die yesterday. The ques-
ton of restoring the state university IL
brary did not come up. The board Of
regents saw that it was hopeless to at
tempt to get through a one-tenth mill
levy for four years. The joint commit
tee on appropriations voted IS to
against the levy and the regents decided
to sell the gift lands for ready money
with which to buy $4,000 library and
delay the matter Of getting levy
through until the next regular session.

To Consider Hawaiian Treaty.

Washington, July 7.-Senator Davis,
chairman Of the committee on foreign
relations, has called a meeting Of the
committee for Friday for the purpose
Of considering the Hawaiian annexation
treaty. 1t was at one time thought
that the treaty would not be considered
with a view to reporting it this session,
but it is now the intention Of the friends
of annexation to report the treaty.

Representative McMiilin, Of Tennessee
Causes q Hasty Adjournment OF the
House--President Mckinley to Send a
Special Message to Congress Recommend
ing Commission to Adjust the Currency
Question-Capital Notes.
Washington, July THE tariff bill
was passed by the senate late Wednes-
dag afternoon by a vote of "a to %.
Washington, July THE senate met
Wednesday with a definite agreement
made Tuesday night that the final vote
on the tariff bill would be taken before
the days session closed. 1t appeared
to have little effect in stimulating pub
lie interest as there was not that rush
to the galleries marking the advent of
en- important event. The tariff bill was
taken up and Allison proceeded to per-
feet its phrasology. The section plac-
ing a tax on tea which had been in
advertently passed over was. sruck out.
Allison moved to strike from the free
list "hile cuttings, raw, with or without
hair, and all other glue stock" This
caused some conflict, Jones Of Arkansas
opposing the change. Thereupon Alli-
son withdrew the amendment, but Ma
son vigorously protested against the
withdrawal. 1t was agreed to--30 to IL.

ADULTERATED JELLY.
Judge Seawell Decides That One Who
Sold Bogus Food Products
Must 10 to Hall.

Judge seaweil Decides That One Who
Sold Bogus Food Products
Must Go to Jail.
Sellers of adulterated food received
shock yesterday. The case of Louis
Hartter. charged with selling adulterated
currant jelly, was heard by Judge Seaweli
on writ of habeas corpus.
The point made in the writ was that the
offense charged was an indictabie INSIDE
meanor, and that Police Judge Campbell,
who heard the case, had no authority to
try it, as under the law the costs assessed
against the defendant might be IN excess
of $1,000 state of facts which would take
the case out of the Police Court jurisdic-
ton.
In deciding the case Judge Seawell found
that the statute failed TO provide any ma
chinery for determining the costs and ex-
penses of inspection and analysis. The
order o. the court in the matter would
not take the form of punishment for vio-
lation of the law. but merely that of a
judgment for costs.
Judge Seawell held that part of the
statute void for uncertainty, and sus-
tanned the remainder of the statute. He
therefore remanded Hartter to the Gus
tody of the Sheriff, and the defendant
will either have TO pay fine or 60 to Jail.

The AlCaZar.

1t was nothing short of happy inspiration
that led the Alcszar to stage Tom Taylor's
comedy, "The Overland Route"
Although its author has been buried this
many day, the play is up to date and still
good to please for years to come.
The title is rather misleading. Nearly all
the action taxes place aboard ship; conse-
quently, Overland Route gives one much TO
puzzle over and consider.
The old comedy calls for a rather long cast
and brings to the front the best there is in
Belasco's stock company. George Osbourne ss
Loribond, the Singapore merchant, in his
makeup brought TO mind visions OF what
"Uncle" George Bromley will look like when
he really grows old His acting was as coed
his make up, and that is not giving the
gentleman fair praise.
Mrs. F. NJ. Bates, who, by the way, reap
peared last evening after q rather protracted
absence from the stage OF this coy theater,
was accorded warm welcome by her many
friends and admirers. She played Mrs. Lori
pond with true commanding spirit, and
mace an excellent contrast to Miss Belgarde's
sprIghtly Mrs. Sebright.
The rest of the cast was in good hands.
Powers made an excellent Sir Solomon Fraser
and Gordon Foster dashing Tom Dexter.
The old comedy is the best that the Alcazar
has done for some time, and is fl Offering

A Tunnel Desired.

ALAMEDA, CAL, April 19.-Now that
it has been definitely decided there will DO
no joint bridge across the estuary the
tunnel proposition again comes up, and
there is . strong feeling among many in
the city that a tunnel should be built
rather than second bridge. At present
delays are frequent and annoying, caused
by the opening OF the draw to permit yes
sells to pass, and as traffic increases on the
estuary these delays must become worse
and more frequent 1t will be i'm posi- BILE
to obtain the land necessary for APP
proaches to tunnel any cheaper than
now or to build such a structure at any
less exp nse than at present. With a tun-
mel the difficulty would be solved for all
time and traffic on the estuary as well as
across it would be unimpeded.
