middle of the road and aimed straight
at the king, who noticed that the mans
hand was shaking. The shot missed
and the king had clear view Of this
man, who, his majesty says, was bare

fire after the carriage until it was out
of range.
AS soon as the news became known
all the leading politicians hastened to
the palace to express their congratula-
tions over the escape of King George
and the Princess Maria.
The action of his majesty in shielding
the princess at the risk of his own
life has aroused great enthusiasm.
NJ Delyannis and NJ. Ralli, former
premier, were among the first to ar
rive at the palace to offer their con-
gratulations.
At $50 o'clock the metropolitan held
a thanksgiving service in the palace
chapel. The queen knelt, sobbing,

ber of Firms.

The board of abatement finished its work
yesterday after an all-day session
Applications for the batement of their
taxes were presented by numerous banks,
whose assessments were raised by the state
board of equalization. Several private in
dividuals also applied for similar relief.
In many of the caes 1t was noted that
the state board of equalization had raised
the valuation of mortgages, originally
sessed to the amount of their face value, to
the extent of SO per cent. There were in
stances in which mortgages for $4,000 as
sessed at that amount by the county authori-
ties, had been valued by the state board at
an amount exceeding S13, 600.
In the cases of mortgages whose valua-
tion had been increased above their face
value, the board recommended the restora-
tion of the assessment to the original fig
UreS.
The st. Paul Title and Trust company
asked for an abatement Of s47, GOO which had

request was granted.

pany was reduced from $4,000 to S10000

little difficulty rescued all hands.
La Champagne experienced strong
head winds UP to Feb. IL, when the
tail end shaft gave way. When the ac-
cident occurred, the best of order pre-
vailed. The steamer was perfectly
tight and not making any water. The
passengers on being Informed Of the ac-
cident to the machinery were perfectly
calm, and the gbest of order prevailed.
La Champagne carried 304 passen-
gers, 4S being cabin, SO second-class
cabin, 2O3 steerage and crew Of 175.
Later the Rotterdam came to her
wharf in Hoboken. An Associated Press
reporter tonight interviewed Third Off
Ger Unsworth, who said:
About all that can tell you regarding the
accident is that it occurred about o'clock
in the afternoon of the nth instant. There
was strong easterly wind at the time. The
sea was heavy, the atmosphere foggy. AT
the time of the accident the boat
headed in a southeasterly direction.
1t seemed to be pretty we'll settled in the
opinion of the officers of La Champagne
that the break was in the tail end shaft.
1t was, however, out of sight and the only

WASHINGTON, Feb. 26-The house
did not complete the consideration of
the sundry civil bill today, but Chair
man Cannon held the floor with it until
adjournment, refusing to yield to Mr.
Boutelle, Maine, the chairman of the
naval committee. who was anxious to
secure consideration for the bill report
ed by his committee for the relief of
victims and survivors of the Maine
disaster.
About twenty pages of the sundry
civil bill were disposed of today. Many
efforts were made by different members
to inject river and harbor items into
the bill, three of them being successful
Amendments appropriating 100000 for
the Cleveland harbor; 100000 for
Wilmington, Del, and increasing the
appropriation for Boston harbor from
100000 to $250,000 were adopted. AS
contracts for these works were au-
thorized they We're in order under the
rules.
Mr.. Lewis Oem., Wash) created
something Of a sensation by Offering
this resolution as an amendment to the
pending bill:
Resolved. That congress disapproves of
Minister Woodford rendering a banquet to
the Spanish cabinet in behalf of the United
States, and expresses the sense that the re-
lations between Spain and the United States
should, until the inquiry as to the cause of
the Maine disaster be terminated, remain
only in the formal and official way demand
ed by the needs of the respective nations.
Mr.. Lewis was proceeding to remark
upon the 'ghoulish spectacle of Minis
ter WoodfOrd banqueting the Spanish
cabinet While the country was mourn
ing the loss of $50 brave sailors who
were the victims of Spanish hate, when
Mr.. Cannon interposed a point of order
net he
promptly sustained by the chair.
Mr.. Lewis attempted to debate the
point of order, saying the amendment
was certainly pertinent to the para
graph under cOnsideration-whic hap
pened to relate to national cemeteries.
II am opposed" he said, "to our peo-
pie burying their dead while our Off
cial representative abroad is feasting
their murderers.
At this point Mr.. Lewis was cut off
and the incident closed.
An amendment, offered by Mr.. Gros
venor (Rep., o., appropriating $38,8S0
for the continuation Of the publication
Of the records Of the rebellion, was
adopted.
At 5:15 p. m. the committee of the
whole rose without having completed
the consideration of the bill.

recognized by the speaker on a ques
tion Of personal privilege. He said that
a purpOrted interview with him, pub
lished this morning. reI2tiye to the
disaster to the Maine, did injustice to
himself. He said that the interview
was entirely unwarranted and unau-
thorized. 1t did not in any correct
manner represent his views on the
question.

motion by Mrs. Champion, of Connecti-

in the White house. telling of her con-

brought up as to whether the society
had the right to do this without per-
mission resulted in the reference of
the matter to the national board Of
managers.
Some discussion Of a humorous ma
ture followed the introduction of the
resolution which referred to the mat
ter of the ancestral bars, worn above
the insignia of the society and sup
posed to represent the ancestors. of the
wearers, who served in the Revolution.
1t was participated in by Mrs. Swift,
Of California; Mrs. Mills, New York;
Mrs. Barbour, of Brooklyn, and Mrs.
Hopes, of Massachusetts.
One of the speakers remarked that it
was a funny thing that some of the
patriots wore the ancestral bars, not
only for their forefathers of Revolu-
tionary fame, but also for their fore
mothers Nothing was done about the
matter, and it was allowed to lapse.
An invitation was read from the
managers Of the Omaha exposition to

At the time we left La Champagne all

parted for the southwark in search of as

The rescued men said the La Cham

could send the French liner to the
bottom. On account of the distance

Business--PropOrti From the
Canadian Pacific Is Temporarily
Turned Down.
CHICAGO, Feb 26.-At the meeting
of the general passenger agents of the
Western roads here today, to devise
ways IF conducting the rdnscODtinental
rate war. the trans Missouri roads gave
notice that beginning March 6, they
would put into effect to North Pacific
coast points, from the Missouri river
eateWayS, the same rates as are now IN
effect via st. Paul.
For parties of three or over, they will
make a fiat rate. On single tickets they
will charge full fares, giving the pas
Eenger a rebate order for so, payable on
reaching destination.
This virtually dispCses of the question
Of meeting the cuts through the Mis-
souri, river gateways.
\ committee was at once appointed to
prepare a plan of action for the roads
east of the Missouri river to pursue.
The report of this committee will be
considered Monday.
The meeting today declined to take
any action on a proposition coming
from the Canadian Pacific road,
through a trunk line committee for
settlement of the matters In dispute.
In effect this proposition was that all
rates should be restored March IA, and
lie maintained pending the result of a
conference to be held March II.
The Great Northern and Northern
Pacific roads would not consent to en-
tertain the proposition because it in
volved fresh recognition of Canadian
Pacific differentials and restored to the
Canadian Pacific all the advantages it
possessed on that point prior to the
rate war. The other roads would take
no action on the subject until they
heard from their Eastern ally, the
Grand Trunk. They recommended the
trunk line committee to submit the
proposition to that road for an ex-
preston Of opinion on the subject, and
when it is heard from. the Western
roads will then be in position to take
action in the matter.
