PATTERSON-CARMACK CASE.
Contest Discussed ut Length by the
House Yesterday.

The House of Representatives enjoyed
a respite from the exciting subject of war
yesterday. After quite a parliamentary
struggle involving several roll-calls, II
voted to take up the contested election
case OF Patterson against Carmack from
| Tennessee.
This case has divided the Republicans
of the House and hence the difficulty of
the majority in getting it UP. Mr.. Pat
terson was a member of the Fifty-thlrd
Congress. and had a place ON the Commit
tee on Elections. He was earnest and
active in behalf of Democratic contest
ants and had much to do with ousting
several Republicans.
Messrs. Joy of Missouri and Hillborn Of
California were compelled by the Demo-
cratic majority of the House to vacate
their seats and surrender them TO Demo-
cratic contestants.
Judge Patterson was potent factor in
the fight against these two Republicans.
Now, after a lapse of several years,
Messrs. Joy and Hillborn are in Congress
with undisputed titles to their seats and
Patterson. who so glibly and gleefully
assaiIed them in the Fifty-third Con-
gress appears as the claimant of a seat

tons Committee led and dominated by

favor of Patterson. who ran as gold
boiling Democrat against the regular
party nominee.

A DARING BURGLAR.
Mr.. l.. III. Bowman Has a Hair-Rais-
ing Adventure.

Ing Adv venture.
Mr. L. II. Bowman had an exciting ex-
perience with an armed burglar at his
home No. 1913 Massachusetts Avenue
northeast, about Sis o'clock last night.
The attention of Mr.. Bowman was first
attracted by mysterious light flashing
In a second-story back room. He knew
that none of his family was upstairs,
and proceeded to the second floor to in
vestigate the matter. Entering the rear
room he closed the door behind him and
lighted the lamp.
The light of the lamp revealed a tall,
slim man confronting him. with a pistol
leveled at his head. He demanded that
Mr.. Bowman surrender his money and
valuables.
Make a noise added the burglar, in
a hoarse whisper. land I'll blow the top
of your head Off"
Mr.. Bowman informed the intruder
that he was without money or valuables,
and the burglar, after again cautioning
him to be silent, placed the key on the
outside of the door, locked Mr.. Bowman
in the room and quickly left the building.
The imprisoned man gave the alarm and
was released by his neighbors.
Mr.. Bowman then proceeded to the
Ninth precinct station, and reported the
matter, and general alarm was sent out
to look for the daring thief. Nothing was
taken from the premises.

He was surrounded by capable people

Speaker Reed yesterday to rally Repub-

and take up the election case. The mo-
ton to take il up, made by Kirkpatrick

first roll-call by 1S to 1l9. many Repub-

Speaker invaded the cloak rooms and
persuaded enough Republicans to join
with the regulars, under Kirkpatrick, TO
take up the case.
The case for Patterson was argued by
Mr.. Kirkpatrick.
Mr. Grosvenor then entertained the
House by reading extracts from editO-
rails written by Mr. Carmack when he
was conducting a Memphis paper These
editorials were vigorous IN character and

The members of the Washington police
force are manIfesting high degree Of
enthusiastic patriotism over the war
prospects. Several Of the men I'm the

regular Army or Navy will probably ask
for indefinite leaves of absence and vol

or sailors.
Policemen in the other precincts are
equally as enthusiastic. and the PROPOSE
ton Of forming a volunteer company of
those who served in the regular army was
discussed last night.

men of the First Precinct in the COMPETE

Minnesota at the age of 35, elected
senator in 1887 and reelected in 1893
such is the skeleton record of the
life and career of the peace commits
sioner. His public services as senator
are known to everyone in Washington
where it is widely recognized that his
associates give great Difference to his
views on all matters that are above the
realm Of party politics. Close to the
people, he is known in Minnesota as
"the peoples lawyer" sobriquet
which came to him from the fact that
while most young lawyers seek the
patronage of the rich and of corpora
lions, he avoided such practices and
took the cases Of the poor, whether
they could pay or not. In view Of his
appointment gossips attach significance
to Senator Davis speech Of July q,
which seemed to indicate a belief that
the United States should hold the
Philippines and take an active part in
international politics. Senator Davis
was 60 years old on June Is.

Cu-Iou Funeral In England.

A curious story is told in the British
war office. Some years ago workman
was engaged in casting metal for the
manufacture of ordnance at the Wool
wich arsenal when he lost his balance
and fell into huge caldron containing
twelve tons of molten steel. The metal
was at white heat and, of course, the
unfortunate man was utterly consumed
in an instant, The war department
authorities held a conference and de-
cided not to profane the dead by using
the steel in the manufacture Of ord
nance, and the enormous mass Of metal
was actually inferred and a church of
England clergyman read the burial
service over it..

BELGIUM'S POPULAR QUEEN.

Queen Marie Henriette of Austria
Hungary was married to King Leopold
in 1853, just twelve years before he
assembled the throne. She has been O
faithful and devoted wife, and Is as
much loved by her subjects outside Of
the palace as by those who are in her
immediate surroundings. She has had
four children, three of whom are liv-
ing. Queen Marie Henriette is one
of the most sympathetic women in tke
world. When eX-Empress Carlotta OF
Mexico, who is the kings sister, lost
her husband, Macmillan, no one
grieVed for and comforted the unfor-
tunate widow more than she, and when
from her weight of trouble Carlotta
became insane, Marie Henriette was
almost inconsolable. Very contrary to
the king, Queen Marie is quite fond
of music, and Is an ardent lover OF
the opera. She often accompanies the
king on riding expeditions, which are
his favorite pastime, and, like her

man who is better fitted for the posi-

Of the difficult problems Of interna-
tional law, his tactful diplomacy and
his familiarity with American history
and policies. Sprung from the masses,
and nurtured on a farm, he has by
sheer force of intellect risen to become

thought. From the time when he
worked his way through college to the
present day he has devoted all of his
attention to the study nf law and
American history, with the exception
