A fine game OF hockey was played at tho Cler-

tween the Yale team and the seven of tho Skat-

start to finish, a trihe rougher than 1t ought to
have been at times, perhaps. The Montclairs
were scheduled to meet the visitors. but owing
to some difficulty with the management of the
rink refused to play. The Skating Clubs team
was then hurrisdly summoned to get on the Ice.
In the first half Wall scored for Brooklyn on a
pretty pass fr m Drakeley. Dobbey shot tho

The Pennsylvanian Expected
Make "a Public Retraction.

Washington, April 15.-There have been
many rumors of further trouble between
Judge Bartlett and Representative Brumm,
who were the principal factors in one of
the exciting climaxes on Wednesday, and
some of the stories af1oat have gone so far
as to say that challenge has passed.
The Morning News correspondent is able
TO state on authority that this is not the
case. Neither of these gentlemen will talk
about the matter but the status is under
stood to be this:
After the House had cooled down on
Wednesday, Mr.. Brumm sent for Judge
Bartlett and gave him assurances of his
regret for his action in using the oppro-
brious epithet which was responsible for
the book-throwing episode. Judge Bartlett
was not satisfied with the private eXplaua-
ton and apology, but thought that there
should be a public statement from the
Pennsylvania.
Later Mr.. I3rumm talked with Judge Ber-
ry of Kentucky who suggested that the
way for the proper settlement was for
each man to select friend and to let them
agree, and in case they could not agree to
select a third man. Accordingly Mr.
Brumm selected Gen. Walker of Virginia,
while Judge Bartlett selected his colleague,
Judge Maddox.
Judge Bartlett insisted that there must
be public statement and disavowal from
the Pennsylvania, and, acting for him,
Judge Maddox, told Gen. Walker that this
was the only possible basis of a settle
ment.
Gen Walker could not agree with Judge
Maddox on the details and Judge Maddox
suggested that either Gen. Walker choose
a Democrat as the third man or that he
CMaddox) would suggest some Republican.
1t was finally decided that this latter meth
cd be pursued and Judge Maddox selected
Hon. j. S. Sherman of New York, and TO
this selection Gen. Walker and Mr.. Brumm
acquiesced. The matter is wholly in the
hands of the gentlemen. 1t is believed
that the final outcome will be a statement
from Mr. Brumm to the House, probably

1t is often extremely difficult TO determine
which class of polsons as responsible Tor
the condition of patients We read stories
of deliberate poisoning by the use of pto-
maines, the poisoner securing almost GER
tain immunity from punishment through
the extreme subtlety of the poison end
the circumstance that IL exists ready made
In so many different forms of food. As
matter of fact, no such case of poisoning
has as yet been established. though it is
by no means unlikely that il has been
many times done.
The suggestion now quite frequently
made that the noted slow prisoners, such
as Lacosta, Lucretia Borgia, st. Croix and
Brenvlllers, employed ptomaines in the
practice of their nefarious arts is alto
gether ridiculous since the very existence
of such poisonous substances was abso-
lutely unknown to science In the days of
the 'pOisoners. These monsters employ
ed mineral poisons exclusively almost in
Variably some preparation of arsenic, They
escaped discovery so long, not by reason
of their great skill, but through the low
standard of chemical knowledge prevail
ing and the circumstance that postmor-
TENS were very rarely held.
The remarkable resemblance between the
action of certain ptomaines and some of
the vegetable alkaloids has not been lost
sight of by lawyers called upon to defend
people accused of murder by the admins
tration of poison, and some rather strong
defenses have been made upon these lines
The first case an which this defense was
set up was that of DR.. Carlyle Harris of
New York, who was found guilty of poi
soning his wife, morphine being the agent
employed The defense; which was elabor-
ate involving much expert testimony, was
that poisoning which resulted in death
had occurred naturally from eating food
in which ptomaines had been developed
through the process of putrefaction.
The next case In point of time and i'm
portance was that of DR.. Henry c. Meyer.
DR.. Meyer killed his wife by administering
morphine and atropine, and set up the ac-
cidental ptomaine defense. He was found
guilty but only in the second degree
The most recent case in which this still
novel defense was relied upon was that
of Mrs. Mary Alice Fleming, who was de-
Tended by Charles w. Brooke the we'll
known New York criminal lawyer Mrs.
Fleming was tried for poisoning her moth
er in the Colonial Hotel In Harlem. In this
instance so much doubt was raised
through the introduction of expert testl-
mony touching the nature of ptomaine poi
sons that the woman was acquitted
While the deadly ptomaines that Turk On
seemingly wholesome meats, fish, oysters,
ice cream and other articles of food may
not be certainly and absolutely avoided
the danger may be reduced to a minimum
by purchasing food only in clean, well-ven-
tilated places. During the summer season,
when decomposition is especially rapid this
becomes an all-important matter. Closely
inspect your food avoiding all ill-smelling.
ill-kept stores and markets, and you will
not be likely to suffer from the mysterious
and deadly ptomaines.

DAY IN THE HOUSE DULL.
Speaker DOdEes Getting Into a Com
trOversy With Mr.. Bailey.


Washington, April 15.-Only a single In
cident at the session of the House to-day
was worthy of public notice.
Mr.. Bailey, the Democratic leader, arose
to a question of privilege to reply to
newspaper criticism charging him with re-
sponsibility for the disorderly scene in the
House on Wednesday.
He arraigned the speaker in severe
terms, alleging that it was the speaker
unfair and unjust treatment of himself
which had precipitated the trouble.
The speaker in the chair listened to Mr.
Bailey's structures, and when he conclud-
ed, declined to discuss the question, de-
elaring that what he had done had been
done in the presence of the House and
thousand spectators and upon the judg-
ment of these witnesses he was willing to
rest the justification of his action
The day was spent in the private calen-
dar, but nothing was accomplished.
Al 4:45 o'clock the House recessed until 8
o'clock.
The evening session was devoted to pri-
vate pension Iegisla lion.

clared TO be merely source of profit to
professional wolf hunters who travel about
In the mountains, Staying the animals
where they are the most plentiful and
then shipping them to the counties where
the bounty Is the heaviest The stockmen
see no relief in this direction.
During the past year an cowboys who
ride the range have been required to
carry rifles and shoot all wolves seen. In
this way large number have been de-
stroyed This has caused some of the
foremen to propose that companies OF
sharpshooters be employed by the stock
associations of the West, whose business
1t shall be 10 devote all their time to rid
ing the ranges In pairs and shooting
wolves. incidentally, they could be util-
lied to map out dangerous places in the
range where stock is lost, guard against
cattle rustling, and look after damaged
fences, and also report anything that il
calculated to damage the stock industry.
This would be expensive, but 1t would en-
able individual companies to do their work
with fewer employees.
Another plan suggested is the employ
ment Of number of great wolf dogs to
hunt the range in company with trainers
and run down and XIII the pests.g The
stockmen have repeatedly had offers OF
packs Of Irish wolf hounds which were
guaranteed to be able to catch and de-

But the men who know these pests best
assert that any wolf-hunting dog that
was ever bred would be killed II he came
in contact with few healthy specimens
of the mountain wolf such as come into
this range every fall and remain during
the winter. They are as tough as pine
knots and as ferocious as tigers. They
will frequently fight men alone, and in
packs are really dangerous 10 range rid
ers.
Two of these wolves will run down and
kill the strongest steer on the range. They
usually sneak up as close 70 the punches
of cattle as possible, and then dash down
on the herds scattering they approach.
Frequently steer Is killed for every wolf
In pack They are not contented with
plenty Of flesh to eat, but seem to kill for
the satisfaction OF the warm blood they
find to drink.
The common coyotes Of the prairie which
abound in great numbers in the state, are
not dangerous to healthy cattle. They are
not large enough to drag down anything
larger than a sheep, but II a steer goes
down from any cause the coyotes viii
gather in such number that he will be
overpowered and eaten, hide and ali. These
little fellows are not more than half as
large as the mountain wolves, and are
killed by the score with the poison system
of the cowboys.

The "MAINE" BENEFIT FUND
Good Attendance = The Sailors Only Needed
Practise : How the Teams
Lined Up.

A good sized assemblage turned
out yesterday afternoon to witness
the baseball game between the
jolly tars of the U. s. gunboat
Bennington and the Kamehameha
School team, which was played
for the benefit of the fund that has
been started in the United States
for the families of the dead and
wounded of the "Maine" disaster
in Havana.
The concourse was largely COM
posed of the men from the Ben
nipgton, although large number
of ladies and prominent business
men we're present to show their
sympathy for the cause for which
the benefit game had been arrang
ed. 1t is not known at this writ
ing how much the brave boys
cleared on the game, but it is be-
lieved that the proceeds will swell
the local fund considerably.
The first half of the game was
most interesting, and throughout
the game the Bennington boys
distinguished themselves with the
most brilliant fielding at times,
and then again, they would miss
the easiest kind of grouuders and
pop-ups, while bstted balls that
looked sure enough safe would be
pulled down with the utmost
skill. Ensign III. E. Smith, who
was formerly pitcher of the
Academy team at the Annapolis
Naval Academy, officisted in the
box for Uncle Sans boys, aud
while he was very cratic at
times owing to lack of prac
tise, he pitched good ball
throughout the first part of the
g me, aud struck out the doughty
College boys in a way that sur
prised them. Late in the game
his arm lost its strength and they
batteo him all over the lid. 1t
is needles, to cay that the sym
psthy of the large gathering was
entirely with the Ben lug on
team, and whenever a good play
was made by them it was vocifer-
ously applauded. The opinion is
ventured that with little
more practise this tam would be
able to cope with any of the teams
of the local league. There is
abundant good material which
could be developed. The school
team put up good article of ball
and played good steady game.
The score at the end of the
game was 80 to IA in favor of Ka-
mehameha. One of the pleasant
features of the afternoon, and one
that was heartily appreciated by
the people, was the playing Of
the band of the Bennington, un-
der the able direction of Bugler
Robert e. Schultz. This band is
entirely made up of volunteers
from among the men on board,
and they have purchased instru-
ments at their own expense, and
must have INDUCED in hard prac-
tlse to have reached the present
state of efficiency.
The teams lined up as follows:
