IN THE HOUSE
The Presidents Message Expected To-
day or Tomorrow


WASHINGTON, May 16-The house
leaders have not yet decided upon the
methods by which they will make their
response to the presidents message.
which will be sent to congress tomorrow
or Tuesday asking for relief for the STAR
wing Americans in Cuba. That the re-
sponse will be quick and complete, how
ever, there is no reason to doubt. In the
present condition of affairs of the house
three methods of procedure are open.
Ordinarily the message would go to the
committee on foreign affairs and thar
committee would report a bill, which
would come back to the house for action
through the regular channels. The
speaker could in the present emergency
simply appoint this committee and let
the whole subject take the regular
course. but it is hardly likely that this
will be done. The subject is so we'll un-
derstood that it will probably be thought
that the members, with the message and
the accompanying document which the
president will transmit before them,
can act intelligertly without commit
tee report. If the committee is not ap-
pointed two other courses will be open.
First, after the receipt of the message
bill may be formulated by the leaders
and special order reported by the COM
mittee on rules for its consideration.
This would bring the whole question at
once before the house for action. But
this method would be dieadvantageous,
perhaps, in that both houses struggling
to the same end Simultaneously would
act on different bills, thus entailing de-
lay for adjustment of differences in con-
ference.
The most likely course IL that the

Monument to Maria

PRESBURG, Hungary, May 16-The
emperor, Francis Joseph, as the king of
Hungary, arrived here today to unveil
the Maria Theresa monument. The
ceremony was performed in the presence
of an immense gathering which in
cluded many of the great mobiles Of the
kingdom and deputations from all the
principal towns. The utmost enthusiasm
was displayed. The king went at the
bead of a procession to the hill where
the former kings of Hungary were
crowned. This is the site of the monu-
ment, beautiful work of art. The un-
yelling was followed by brief speech by
his majesty, who then received ad-
dresses from large number of the dele
cation.

occurred a. point where deep, narrow
gulch was spanned by wooden trestle.
the foundation supporting this trestle
was undermined by the sudden rise of
the little stream which flows through
the gulch, and the trestle went down
under the heavy weight Of the train. So
great was the speed of the train, how
ever, that the engine and tender, the
express, mail and baggage cars and one
passenger coach passed over the narrow
chasm, though the trucks of several of
these cars went to the bottom, twenty
feet below. The coach next to the last,
the one Immediately in front of the Pull
man, was left standing directly over the
chasm, one end resting on either bank
Of the gulch. The Pullman remained
on the track. The four coaches which
were dragged by the locomotive across
the broken trestle were badly wrecked
The baggage car telescoped with the
passenger coach, which was the smoker

Jams, president Of the California Safe

Of Henry A. Williams of the firm of
Williams, Brown & Co., is poorer by
$168.000 than he was a week ago.
1t appears that the unsecured liabili-

as was stated. were $3590OO, the differ
ence being found In three notes aggre-
eating $1GS,0OO held by Henry Williams.
Mr.. Williams, sr., soon discovered that
the unpledged assets would not nearly
cover the liabilities if the notes held by
him were allowed to go into the general
account. Unhampered, however, by
these notes. the firm Of Williams, Brown

enr, might pull through. Without a

sung today in all the churches and the
opposition papers accuse the govern
ment Of wantonly sahctioning needless
bloodshed.
A dispatch to the Standard from Con-
stantinople says The porte's reply to
the powers is based upon Mazbata
presented by the ministers Of the Sultan
representing that Greece was RESPONSE
BILE for compelling Turkey to declare
war; that for the last fifteen years
Greece had ignored her engagements
under the Berlin treaty by omitting to
pay indemnity, by seizing and confis-
eating vacoups or religious domains and.
finally, by invading Turkish soil, and
that therefore the council were of the
opinion that Greece had no just claim
upon him for leniency.
Then follow the proposals upon which
the council would base peace. The
gand vizier, in submitting the mazbata,
assured the sultan that the nation was
prepared to shed it's last drop of blood
in support of such conditions of settle
ment.
The war party threatens to dethrone
the sultan If he shows any weakness,
but shrewd observers believe that this
is only a farce to enable him to pose
before Europe as the unwilling victim
Of his fanatical subjects.
In spite Of the great suxeeess Of Ed
hem Pasha, the palace spies have ex-
pressed their doubts of his fidelity, and
the sultan sent a special aide dc camp
to watch him.

The Times correspondent now at Is

Throughout the day Col Manos set
