DIES OF AFFIRMATION.
Peculiar Circumstnnce. which I.,,
to Fatal Result

=" Fataa Result.
W hen John T. Jones' fifty wears oil ana
employed by the Washington Gas Company
as a watchman, was found dead IN his
watch box at the corner OF 9Th and Wash
ihston streets yesterday. it was supposed
he had died from some organic trouble
such as heart disease but an autopsy this
morning developed the fact that he was
accidentally strangled or chnted to death
as a result of a Thanksgiving indisere.ioa.
Deputy Coroner l.. w. Glazebrook per-
formed the autopsy at the Emergency Hos
pltal, and at its conclusion stated that
Jones had unquestionab.y been drinking
heavily throughout all of THANKSGIVING
day. He had evidently become sick after
returning 10 his post OF duty and vomited.
Being in se-i-conscious condition from
liquor he breathed the discharge back into
MS Iarynx and lungs. and died from result
ihs asphyxia- There being no question as
TO the cause of death. it was decided by
the authorities that al inquest was unnec-
eSsary, and none will be held.
Jones was discovered in an unconscious
condition in his watch box al the street in
tersectlon stated by Howard j. Dffen-
baugh, who informed the police The man
was removed ct orce to the Emergency
Hospital, where all efforts looking toward
resuscitation were fruitless. He had been
in the employ of the gas company for
number of years, and was engaged at the
time of his death in watching over the ex-
posed property of the company along .he
line Of the lexington and Soldiers Home
railroad, the introduction of the under
ground electric system necessi tating a
change in the line of pipes. He had a small
watch box. in which was a coke-burning
stove.
Jones was last seen alive by a colored
man named Emanuel Davis. who passed
him about 2:30 o'clock and spoke. Jones
seemed drowsy at that time and was lean
ing forward. The deceased lived at 725
11th street northwest, and leaves a widow

THE OTHER SIDE.
Reasons Why the Anti-Scalping Bill
Should Not Pass.

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
/ notice in your issue Of the Odd instant
that a Mr. Compton of Chicago is coming
to our city to fight the ticket scalper. and
that he has sent in an advance sheet in
the shape of letter of what he intends to
ask Congress to do for his benefit OF the
people he represents (say 100000. He don't
say word about the other 71000,0oO peo-
Pile They are not in It, He only wants
the scalper crushed for his benefit. In
other words, he wants Congress to pass
bill (Which by the way, I have just noticed
has been declared unconstitutional in New
York state) so his 100000 can ride for z
cents per mile and the other portion to pay
3 cents, and he is honest enough to ac-
knowledge It. That is one good thing IN
his favor but what does he think the farm
er, mechanic laborer and all other classes
are going to say about this? Probably ne
don't think they have any right In the
matter at all. He seems to be like
preacher I had a conversation with once,
who wanted the scalper crushed SO that
he could get half rates. Well. you couldn't
blame the preacher because he was think
ing only of himself but / don't think
could have put much confidence in that
preacher IL my soul was at stake. Neither
do | think the public can put much conf
dence in Mr. Compton if he is only coming
here for his peoples sake. His argument
seems to be for class legislation. and l
don't think the people of this great and
glorious country are ready for that yet.
AS to forged and stolen tickets, that's all
bosh and is only side play to hoodwink
the people. You might well say that this
government had better stop making money
because 1t will be counterfeited. Why
should the railroads have any better pro-
lection than the merchant. farmer or any
one else? Are they infant industries that
this government must protect? You might
as well pass bill to close up every second
hand dealer, pawnshop and auction house
in the country because 0Dme thief is going

November "a, 1898. u"
Readers of The Star will remember that
during the last session Of Congress there
was waged lengthy and extremely bitter
hsht between the railroad companies
throughout the Union on the one side and
the scalpers of the various cities and towns
on the other.
The fact has. however, been lost sight OF
IN many quarters that a bill. known as the
national anti-scalping BILL" was passed by
the close of the last-session, by a vote of
AZ ayes to 81 nays 2 1t did not reach the
Senate in time for action by that body.
The pending bill has been drawn very
carefully, and. it isl stated by those who
nave given 1t an examination, its provisions
meet every objection urged by the scalpers
as reasons why their business should not
be interfered with by Congress.
The merchants who are supporting the
railroads in the effort to have the pending
OIL become law during the next session
OF congress say there are three urgent
reasons for the course they have adopted
IN the matter These are: Because it is
against public morals. public decency and
common honesty, and contrary to the in
terstate commerce law: because certain
railroads violate the interstate commerce
law by making one rate over their coun-
tiers and another through the scaiper, and
because with the scalper out of the way
railroads would have every reason for max
Ing and no reason for refusing low rates
to all commercial centers ambitious to be-

Look Out for the Thistle.

Prof. C. v. Piper, Of the state agricul-
tural college, is in the city. Prof. Piper's
principal mission is to stir up Yakima
county farmers to 9 realization of the
danger threatened agricultural interests
by the Russian thistle. A thorough sur.
vey OF the railway lines of the state is
being made under Prof. Piper's direction
to ascertain the location and extent of all
patches of Russian thistle, and. as far as
the funds at his disposal will allow, the
patches are destroyed. In Yakima
county no less than nine separate patches
have been located, and. excepting the
large ones at Toppenish and the Sunny
side. they have been destroyed. These
last two patches are too extensive to be
handled by the meagre funds at Prof.
Piper's disposal, and it therefore becomes
imperative that the farmers in those
places do all in their power to stay the
progress of the dreaded weed. Strong
efforts will be made next winter to get an
appropriation from the state sufficiently
large to eradicate all the thistle in East
ern Washington. This would require

about $1,000. II this can be done, Prof.
Piper says an annual sum OF 81 900 will
be ample to prevent the thistle from ever
again getting q foothold. This 10 because
the inland empire region is surrounded
by mountains on all sides, across which
the thistle cannot spread naturally; and,
therefore, al, that are introduced will be
those carried by the railwsye, which n
careful annual inspection would discover
and destroy. Bulletin "A just issued by
the experiment station, contains . full
account OF this bad weed and every
farmer should procure q copy of it.

The following official statement has
been given out by authority of the presi-
dent as to the terms of peace offered by

evacuation by Spain Of the island; the
cession to the United States and imme
diste evacuation of Porto Rico and other

their entirety, it 10 stated that commits
sioners will be named by the United

AT MANILA.
General Merritt has arrived in Manila
and reports the health of his command
good.
A dispatch to the London Times from

at is becoming more apparent daily
that there are serious complications
ahead. The Americans never made 9
greater mistake than in bringing Agui-
nsldo and the insurgent leaders here and
giving them arms and ammunition for
free use from the Cavite arsenal. Agui-
naldo. fearing annexation by the Ameri-
cans, openly opposes them"
General Merritt has asked to have his
command increased from 10000 to So.

any emergency which may arise on &C.
