BOTH DUELISTS DEAD
CAPTAIN DAVIS LIVED THIRTEEN
HOURS LONGER THAN BRANN.
Waco People Now Believe the Bitter
Feud Is Settled, Four Men Hav-
ing Lost Their Lives.

WACO Tex April Wv. c. Brann, the
fighting editor, died at 1:55 a. m to-day.
His wife and children were beside him. 1t
was a remarkable deathbed scene, and those
who were present say the picture was one
hard to be forgotten. Branns death was
the result of encounter last night, in
which he fatally wounded his antagonist,
Captain NJ. II. Davis. The fight was the
latest of n long series of similar tragic af-
fairs in which Brann had been a partici-
pant or was more or less directly con-
cerned, his vitriolie style of personal jour
nalism being the chief factor. His fight
with Captain Davis last night took place on
the street, the weapons being revolvers.
Each of the combatants received three bull
lets. Three noncombatants were each
slightly wounded. Brann died from inter-
nal bleeding of the lungs
Capt Thomas E. Davis, Brann's antag-
onist in the terrible street duel yesterday,
fingered till o'clock this afternoon His
death was calm and his department to the
last characteristic of his life, manly and
brave. He knew from the first his wounds
were mortal. When he sank to the side
walk under Brarns bullet his antagonist
lnough bleeding from several wounds, was
not fatally hurt Captain Davis rolled over
on ms side and fired upward, inticting a
mortal wound with his last shot. Captain
LAWS ala not expect to meet Brann, and
when the latter accosted him first he was
unarmed. He hurried to his office, got his
pistol, and when he stepped from the door
OF his office, he met Brann and Ward face
to face and the battle began. The men
were bitter foes and fought 1t out together
after their own fashion, making a bloody
ending of fierce feud which terminates
now and tranquilizes the city after adding
four men to the roll of violent deaths in
Waco. Davis in his dying declaration be-
fore notary made a statement that Ward

Brann at the time. shot him as he lay on
the sidewalk. Upon this statement Ward
was to-day arrested and Jailed, charged
with murder. Brann's body lies in state at
his late residence. The funeral takes place
Sunday afternoon.
The particular motive in this case
was the extraordinary attack by Brann
in his paper, the Iconoclast, on
the chastity of the students at
Baylor University, Waco, Tex. Among
the students of the university were
the two daughters of Captain Davis. When
the two men met on the street last night,
they had some words, drew revolvers, and
firing by both followed almost instantly

expenditures and appropriations. 1t is
thought this phase of the question may
message. Although an appropriation bill
in the regular order would go to the COM
mittee on appropriations. there is reason for
the belief that a war revenue measure has
been under consideration. and it is not alto
gether improbable that bill of this charac-
ter may be introduced at the same time if it
IS not, indeed, made a part Of the expected
bill or resolution authorizing the President to
intervene forcibly to put stop to HOSTILE
ties in Cuba. No definite plan or even an
outline of a plan to raise war revenue from
internal revenue sources, has yet been formu-
lated. but it is the belief of persons who
necessarily would be consulted in the matter
that legislation for an additional tax on beer
is almost certain, in the event of hostilities
to be recommended to Congress. Whisky, it
is said, also would come in for a share of
the increase but for the fact that even the
present rate of $1.10 per gallon, in the opin-
ion of experienced revenue officials, is really
above the maximum revenue producing
point. There is no reasonable doubt that
quite a list of articles, such as are admit
teddy luxuries, will be. considered by the
ways and means committee as proper sub
jects of revenue taxation in case any large
amount of funds is needed to carry on the
war, which nearly. all visitors at the White
House said now seems inevitable. The treas
ury experts have estimated that the increase
of tax on beer from 81 to 81 per barrel would
result in gain approximately of $4,000 600
to the revenues, but whether so heavy an
increase as that is contemplated is not
known.
The question of laying a small internal
revenue tax on tea and coffee is also under
consideration. 1t is thought that a tax of
something less than 10 cents a pound on
tea and about cents a pound on coffee
would bring in a larger revenue. possibly
$35 0O0 600 to S40000.0(0 a year. This tax, it
is thought, would not result in materially
increasing the price to the consumer Of
either tea or coffee except possibly in the
beginning. The combined revenues from
beer tea and coffee. it is thought. would
approximate S75,000,Oe0 year, and possibly
$50 COO. zoe.
II was stated later in the day that the
President has not actually begun the work
of writing his message. which will be sent
TO Congress either on next Monday or Tues
day He is giving it. however. thoughtful
consideration and is getting the views of
members of his Cabinet and of Congress on
all of the questions involved.

SECURITIES DEPRESSED.
Spanish and American Stocks Lower

LONDON, April 2-Operators on the

American securities as much as possible.
After the close of the market these Sc
curities sagged lower dealers aiming to
get their books level with the call in Span

NEW YORK, April 2.-The Evening
Posts London financial cablegram says:
THE stock market here opened fiat to-day.
There was no panic, but the condition was
apathetic. with a certain amount Of ner-
yousness in places. The account is general
ly really too small to warrant anything
like panic The chief apprehension is in
the money market on fears of further
gold drain to New York IN the event of war.
The Bank of England reserve last week
was the lowest since 1898. War risks at
Lloyds are nominally quoted at 40 per cent,
but such transactions are merely of a bet
ting nature, not genuine business. Consols

"ALL OFT FoR WAR;

Cry of Princeton Students That
Failed to Arouse Grover Cleveland.
PRINCETON, N. j., April 2.-The possi-
bility of war aroused quite a frenzied exhi-
bition of patriotism. among the students of
the university last night. The movement
was wholly spontaneous, and was started
by a few seniors about IL o'clock "All out

of Princeton, and which is now the hub of

so the march continued the next stop being

of the university. President Patton came
out and made a very patriotic and yet con-
sentative speech. While hoping that war
might even yet be averted, he was never

careful to see. that our national honor was

Methodist Conferences Resolutions.

NEW YORK, April 2.--The report of the
New York East Conference committee on
the state of the country was read and unan-
imously passed. 1t embodied the following
resolutions;
'First-That for many years. in common
with our felloW-citiZenS We have deplOred
the sufferings of the Cuban people and
looked with horror upon the methods by
which Spain has attempted to keep them
in subjugation.
"Second--The destruction of the Maine
and the slaughter of so many brave men in
a time of peace by the treacherous ex-
plosion of a mine presumably by those who
were in sympathy with the dominating
methods of Spain in Cuba is an act calling
for the prompt and effective action of the
government to secure Naturalization.
''Third-We regard with admiration and
confidence the calmness and forbearance
and firmness which have characterized the
President and his official advisers in the
course of the delicate negotiations with
SPAIN and we commend the conduct of
Congress in delaying decisive action, while
at the same time providing the means for
putting the country in readiness for any
emergency.
''Fourth-That in the present uncertain
ty we cherish the hope and will fervently
pray that the effort of the negotiations in
progress may be the preservation of peace
with the maintenance of national honor and
the deliverance of the people of Cuba from
Spanish oppression.

sion of the Maine occurred inside Of the
ship. and that no evidence existed Of any
exterior explosion.
Admiral Irwin to-day was among the wit
Desses before the Senate committee on for
eign relations, which is making a thorough
inquiry into the Maine disaster. His testi-
mony was regarded as important in meeting
the position of the Spanish commission that
a mine did not explode under the Maine, as
no dead fish were found in the harbor. Adj
miral Irwin is an expert on torpedoes and
submarine explosions, and he told the COM
mittee that he never knew fish to be killed
by such explosions.
The White House was. as usual, a central
point in the great activity of the day, and
the President saw many public men. some
of them urged on the President that the
Maine incident be put forward as a casus
belli the general Cuban subject being
subordinated to it. Among these was Rep
resentative Marsh, of Illinois, who said.
after talking with the President: II went
to see the President to tell him that the
basis of our declaration of war should be
the destruction of the Maine and the
slaughter of American sailors. That was a
foul and intentional blow at the American
people, the American flag and American
honor. 1t was done by Spanish authorities.
T. was this foul blow which aroused the
American people. The general condition of
affairs is a blow to humanity; the other
was a blow to u.s.
Many senators, including members of the
foreign relations committee and members
of the House, to-day received kilograms
from conservative business men in their
States counseling pacific action in regard
to Cuba. Some of them commented quite
vigorously regarding them, and the fact
that they seem to come simultaneously from
different sections.

Washington at o'clock. When seen by a
reporter shortly after his arrival he said:
Il saw the President day before yesterday
and spent one hour and a half with him. He
very deeply feels the responsibility of his
position, aside from his feeling as a patriotic
citizen. He has had tremendous pressure
brought on him-pressure to which a weak
man would have yielded. He looks on war
as last dread resort, and will leave moth

intense than it appears to be here. In Wash

and still fewer representatives, Congress is
more radical than the average citizen gen.
orally. and wants more extreme measures
taken.

hudson Maxim,s Terrible Gun.

WAYNE. Ne. April Hudson Maxim, a
brother of Hiram Maxim. the inventor of
the famous Maxim rapid-fire gun, has just
invented gun that in its awful destructive
force goes far beyond Hiram's. 1t is called
the Maxim aerial torpedo, and is designed
for coast defense and naval work. AS its
name implies. the torpedo is fired into the
air. instead of being shot along the surface
of the water. In fact. it is used the same
as any cannon or mortar. The gun from
which it is fired has a bore of twenty-six
Inches 1t will throw ton of dynamite a
distance of five miles. and ii the torpedo
strikes anyw here within eco feet of a war
ship it will shiver it to atoms. Mr.. Maxim
has also invented a smokeless powder to use
with the torpedo.
