THR WORK OF CONGRESS.
Senators Unanimously Ratify the $50.
100000 Defense Appropriation.

Senators Unanimously Ratify the $780,
100000 Defense Appropriation.
On Wednesday OF last week the SEN
ate unanimously passed the bin appro-
priating $50,000,0OO for the national de-
tense. Twelve minutes after the bill
was reported to the senate the vice
president announced it's passage, and
less than one hour later it became law
by the presidents signature.
On Thursday the house refused to
concur in the senate amendments to
the Indian appropriation bill. and the
measure was sent back to conference.
On Friday only the lower house was
in session. and the time was consumed
mainly IN flibustering against the
Bowman claim for s., 100000 for sup
plies furnished the Union army dur
ing the war. On Saturday neither
house was in session.
On Monday last the senate passed a
number Of bills. among them one au-
thorizing the construction of eight new
revenue cutters. to cost $2.O25. 600. The
house discussed District of Columbia
business
On Tuesday the house entered into
an agreement to consider the bill for
the relief of victims and survivors of
the Maine disaster as soon as the
postoffice appropriation bill is disposed
of. The latter measure gave rise TO
many political speeches Senators dis
cussed the national quarantine meas
ure. but made little progress

THE death of Hon. N. WRIGHT Gu
NEY at San Antonio, Texas, removes
from public life one of the most pic.
turesque Afro-American figures ever
known in the history of the republic.
His last political fight against the
MoKINLEY legions of Texas, and the
concentrated force Of money and tran
scendent leadershipxwas brilliant and
awe-inspiring. Fairly matched and
supported he would have worsted his
determined foes. But the subtle use
Of money and the promise of Office
made treacherous many of mis- friends
and brought about his final undoing,
when he was about to win a substan-
tial victory.
He sleeps beneath the sod of Texas,
and even those who bitterly antago-
nized him pause to drop tear of re.
morse on his grave.
We feel that we shall never gaze up
on his like again.
Richmond planet. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1883-1938, 1898-03-19

he changed attitude Of the VIRGINIA
BAPTIST paved the way for the securing
Of that financial help which was 80
sadly needed at that time.
But, in defending the journal in
keeping with his usual custom he
ma kes a most unkird and humiliating
reference to Rev. y. d. LEWIS, B. d.,
whom he virtually charges with indis-
erection and with having used the VIR-
GINA BAPTIST to subserve his personal
ends by the venting of petty spite
against the late Rev. W. w. Browne.
Is this the truth?
He charges that he,-the Rev. BUT
TON Z. GRIees, B. D., and not the Board
of Managers or the stockholders put
Rev. LEWIS out. for he ''snstched the
VIRGINIA BAPTIsTs from the fight"
He thus places this divine in most
embarrassing attitude by alleging that
he was unable to wisely conduct re-
ligious journal and gives himself credit
for remarkable foresight and consum-
mate judgement.
This is indeed letting the ''cat out OF
the wallet" and is information OF a
kind which will be astounding to the
public.
He says:
zone week the gun was in the hand
of foe, the next IN the hand Of one
who had always been Mr.. BRowNE's
friend and champion"
We should very much like to know
what Brother LEWIS was doing wher
Brother GRIGGs snatched the gun from
his hands.
He doesn't usually give up without
struggle.
Moreover, this is an unqualified an
ncuncement that Rev. u. ID. LEWIS, b
D., was doing wrong, il it is true tina
Rev. 5. E. GRIeGs was doing right
IL the latter's statements are correct
the "cat is out of the bag" and for TIT
catching of it we will leave the task Il
the gentleman who has been SO unmer
cifully reflected upon.

LACKED PRESENCE OF MIND.

As a Result One Man Dead and An
other Fatally Injured.
Baltimore, March 16-One man was
killed and another probably fatally in
jured yesterday in an attempt to es-
cape being burned to death. The blaze
was In a sweat shop" on the fourth
floor OF a tenement house at 202 Able
marie street. and was occasioned by the
explosion OF gasoline. Michael Serwinski
and Bartholomew Valentine, Lithuanian
tailors. found themselves hemmed In
by the flames. and became frantic with
fright
The only window in the room opened
on a narrow alley In the rear. only
three feet wide, on the other side of
which was a roof Just a little lower
than the window SILL The frantic men
crowded each other IN the window and
jumped together. They fell 80 feet TO
the pavement below and Serwinskrs
brains were dashed out. Valentine
landed on top OF him. which accounts
Tor his not being killed also. Valen-
tine was taken to the hospital, where
he Is In a critical condition from shock
and internal injuries. The fire was ex-
tinguished with slight damage.
