The People and the Senate.

Granny Hoar of Mas

of the real feelings of the
people of the United States
as a Fiji islander does of

noxes. He is nearly al
ways mistaken in his views

tirley mistaken than when
he declared in the Senate

and other Trusts as mot
less than Infamous. y
The plain truth is that a
large propotion of the peo-
pie of the United States
have a much worse opinion
of United States Senator's
than ever finds expression in
print. They believe every
charge that has been made
regarding the subservience
of the Senate to the Sugar
Trust. They believe that
if Chapman, Havemeyer and
Searles had answered the
questions proponded to them
by the Investigating Com
mlttee a number Of the
Senators would have been
driven out of public life in
disgrace, II h ey believe
that the proposed Tillman
investigation was squelched
because the Senate as a
body dares not have an
honest and searching in
quiry, such a S Tillman
would make, into the re.

Nor is this all, or the
worst. There is a wide.
spread belief that the
Senate has ceased to re-
present the people of the

States, 1t has become the
citadel of PIutocracy and
the center of the peruicious
influences with which the

Not cloud was to be eeen anywhere.
and while the air was cool and sharp and
there wac a covering of white frost on
the streets there was noticeable moderation
in the temperature and it could be readily
predicted that when the was a few
hours higher the dey would be a perfect
one. No news has been received In town
from either of the training quarters this
early in the morning. but with I'll the
weather conditions favorable 1t was known
that there was NO reason TO change the
program which had been made.
the town was es;ir early, and crowds
began to gather at the hotels and rail-
way station. awaiting fer incoming trains.
and all were eager for any piece of cews
or gossip in connection with the fight.
Evening star., 1897-03-17

The center of activity was the Arlington
Hotel, where the sporting men have been
in the habit Of congregating ever since the
fight has been under way in the vicinity OF
Carson City. 1t was wise man who rose
from his bed early and did a little leg work
in the direction of the dining room early iE
the day for the sake of getting breakfast.
The hotel dining room Is not large, and it
will not accommodate many at one time.
The first ones to arrive Were sure cf, their
meals, but along toward the fag end of the
morning the hungry followers of the noble
art of pugilism, who showed up clamoring
for their breakfast, came out of the ergu-
ment with an empty stomach and were
forced to rush for the nearest restaurant,
and the restaurants of Carson are not
many, nor are they on par with those of
larger cities. The late arrivals were not
r>any, however, for the large majority of
the men who have come here to witness
the fight were up early, and ate their
breakfast in short order after they appear
ed in the office of the hotel. Most of them
realized that a fight at IL am. with two
other fights to follow, meant no lunch at
loon, and they took no chances on getting
4 good meal at the opening of the day.
BY o'clock this morning the hotel office
vas crowded to suffocation and for several
blocks down the street groups of men
stood, all in earnest conversation, and the
topic with nearly all of them was the COM
parative merits Of the two men. Around
the hotel office the scene was one of lively
hustle. The big blue chart of the ring was
lying on the counter. and two men were
constantly engaged in selling seats and
making the final arrangements for caring
for the crowd which saw the fight In
front of the office stood Dan Stuart as cool
in the climax of his work as he has been
in perfecting the work to conclusion.
Stuart Disappointed at Attendance.
This is my one chance to get even," he
said, after three years of hard work that
/ have been through with all these fighters
1t marks the beginning of the end with me-
and 1 rather think that when this thing is
over that will be out of the fighting bust

dictions regarding what / may do here

Stuart expresses himself as being some
what disappointed at the attendance, which
has been smaller than he has been expect
ing. but he viewed the matter in the sto-
ical manner in which he takes all of his
troubles.
There are not more than 5000 here are
there?" he said with a smile, but it is the
best we can do. There is 20 use of making
any fuss. Carson is a long ways for lots
Of the boys to come. and the hard times
have made it impossible for many men to
spend 500 to come here to see the fight and
get home again.
The pool room OF Corbett & Coleman,
across the street from the Arlington Hotel,
was filled with men this morning, who
were anxious to put their money On the
fight. Outside Of the pool room many small
bets were made, with Corbett the favorite
at odds of 2 to 1. The mass OF the sporting
men are with Corbett, many because they
like him, and many because they dislike
Fitzsimmons, and would be pleased to see
his head punched into mincemeat.
The magnificent form shown by Corbett
in his training. and the somewhat erratic
manner in which Fftz has gone through his
work Of preparation. but which, 1t must be
confessed, has left him in as good con-

to keep down the amount of money which

few minutes after Mrs. Franks had left
the house. but were obiivious as to where
the reports came FROM and were not aware
OF the horrible tragedy until few minutes
later. when Mrs. Franks returned to her
house.
On her return the wife found the door
locked and failing to get response to her
pulls at the bell, called for her husband to
open the door The little girl, hearing her
mothers call, staggered down stairs, open
ed the door and fell unconscious at the
woman's feet. Mrs. Franks screamed and
called to her husband. Picking up the
child, the woman rushed into the parlor.
and there, lying in pool of blood. with a
bullet wound near the heart, was the man
who had caused the tragedy. Mrs. Franks
rushed upstairs. and there, lying on the
bed. was the body Of the boy. Death had
probably been instantaneous.
The murderer had gone upstairs and sent
three bullets into his sons head and body.
He then shot the little girl under the chn,
and went down stairs and fatally wounded
himself.
An ambulance was hastily summoned.
and the husband and little girl were re-
moved to a hospital, where the former died
few hours later. There Is but little hope
of the child's recovery.
1t is believed the man was suddenly seiz-
ed with a fit of insanity as no cause for
the murder and suicide can be advanced.
