SHOT HIM DEAD.
George S. Rice Killed on the Street in
Washington by Dennis J. CAVITY.

WASHINGTON, March 15.-Dennis j.
Canty formerly a clerk in the Interstate
Commerce Commission, and later part
ner with Herman Van Sender, private
secretary to Secretary Carlisle in the last
administration, in the stock and grain
brokerage business, to-day shot and killed
George S. Rice, a Spectator, whose home
is in the west, in front of the Hbbitt
House. on f. street, near Fourteenth. IL
is assumed that the killing grew out of
some stock transactions, and perhaps may
have been connected with the failure sew
eral months ago Of Canty & Van Sender
The firm was not a member of the New
York Stock Exchange, but did consider
able business among the smaller class OF
speculators. It is said that there had
been bad feeling between the men for
some time, and that Rice had threatened
Canty's life. To-day while CAVITY was
standing near the corner of Fourteenth
and F streets, in front of the Ebbtt
House. he was approached by Rice, who,
Canty's friends say, made a threatening
demonstration with a knife. CAVITY drew
a revolver. Ae he brought 1t out Rice
backed away from him. and when he
fell pierced by two of the four bullets
CAVITY had fired, he was about twenty
feet distant from Canty. The latter was
arrested and taken to the First precinct
station.

POSITION ED.
Senate Committee on Naval Affairs
Will Not Begin an Investigation Of
the Maine Disaster at Ones.

Washington, March 15.-The Senate
committee ON naval affairs had under
consideration to-day the resolution in
structing it to make an investigation
of the Maine disaster and decided by a
vote of to 5 to postpone action for
the present. This action was preceded
by sharp exchange Of words between
the advocates of immediate action and
those who think the active investiga-
ton should be deferred in order 20
permit the administration full Oppor-
tunity to press it's own investigation
through the naval board of inquiry.
After the decision was reached not to
go on with the inquiry to the extent of
summoning witnesses, it was suggest
ed that steps should be taken by the
committee to secure from the Navy
Department all the information in its
possession, and this suggestion was
adopted.
1t is understood that the postpone
ment was secured by Senator McEn-
ery's joining with the majority of the
Republicans, and that Senator Chand-
Ter voted with the opposition for the
immediate and independent inquiry.

to-day by an Associated Press reporter
upon the subject of the Maine affair
and the existing relations between this
country and Spain. Mr.. Cleveland at
first declined to express any opinion
upon the matter.
i should only be misunderstood"
he said. Il have been resting here
quietly since leaving Washington, and
| do not wish to say or do anything
which may be construed in any way as
a comment upon public affairs
F'inallq, Mrs. Cleveland, in a firm
and emphatic fashion, volunteered
this statement:
Though l have no wish to be in
terviewed, you may state for me that,
in common with others, think every
patriotic citizen ought to Loyalty sup
port the government during a period
of trial like the present, no matter
what exigencies may arise.
Il will also say that | hope the
present difficulties will be settled with
out bloodshed. 1t is possible that an
honorable way out will be found even
tually and that there will be no war"
Mr. Cleveland said he preferred to
reserve all comment upon the possible
and probable outcome of the Maine af-
fair until after the official publication
of the report Of the board of inquiry.
Being asked if he would say any
thing upon the financial question and
the plans and programme of the gold
standard, OF National Democrats, Mr..
Cleveland said that he preferred to re-
serve all comments upon that topic
until his address before the lroquols
Club of Chicago, next month.

Was Concerned.
Pittsburg, Pa, March 15.-The per-
manent committee on temperance of
the Presbyterian General Assembly
met to-day to hear the action OF the
subcommittee appointed at last Tues
days meeting on the circular letter
outlining the stand of the committee
on the question of temperance in the
educational institutions of the church.
The report adopted unanimously by
the members of the committee present,
and addressed to the chairmen of the
Presbyterian committees on temper
ance was like that prepared last week,
except in the modification of the sec
ton relating to the educational insti-
buttons.
No stand is taken against Princeton
or any other college by name but pa
rents are warned against the encour-
agement of the use of intoxicants.
The amended section in part is as
follows:
"A larger number than ever before
of the youth of Presbyterian families
ceive instruction in higher institutions
of learning.
Us it not incumbent at this time up
on our church courts in the discharge
of their pastoral responsibilities to
faithfully forewarn parents of the
temptations that may be set their sons
as they enter upon college life? The
adversary, knowing well the value of
l,,e or n iey
alcoholic man-traps with hellish cum
ming around
SOME OF OUR COLLEGES.
Parents who have taught their child
rem to pray Lead us not into tempta-
tion,' should solemnly consider at this
momentous epoch of their lives their
boys, from whom the restraints of
home have just been removed, should
be exposed to thir peril.
1The Presbyterian church has long
been teaching that temperance is total
abstinence from intoxicants-not their
moderate use-and that the traffic, IL
censed or unlicensed, is curse to be
constantly combatted by every Chris
tian citizen. In these vitality import
ant principles other branches or
Christ's church concur. May fhey be
kept IN nina Dy parents WHeh tley
make selection Of a college for their
sons.
'sOf course, intemperance is not the
only peril to which our youth are ex-
posed, but unquestionably on no other
rock are so many previously Seighted
lives wrecked Surely christian trus-
tees and professors, even in college
lot amenable to ecclesiastical authorl-
ty should be ready to consider appeals
for the correction of unfavorable con-
ditions in their institution or in its
environments, whether those appeals
come from Christian bodies or indivl-
duals.
Meantime let parents be affection
ately reminded that the moral and
spiritual interests be not subordinated
to the intellectual. The existence or
any institution of demoralizing inf1u-
ences cannot be atoned for ~ any in
fiuence of facilities for scientific and
literary culture"
