Scene of Turbulence in Congress

Washington, March 26.-The stirring
scenes of the Fifty-tirst congress when
members of the minority were charg-
ing down the aisles protesting against
the rulings of Speaker Reed were re-
called Friday in the turbulent protests
made by the minority against a ruling
of the chair during the consideration
of the naval appropriation bill. The
ruling in effect compelled members to
confne their remarks under the five
minute rule to the subject before the
house, and was made against Mr. Hart
man (silver rep, Mont.), who attempted
to make a political speech. The rul~

ACCIDENT insurance policies have
taken many curious shapes, ranging
from the penny in the slot to the coup
on in the weekly newspaper, but the
limit has been reached in London,
where the purchaser of a book of cigar
cite paper is insured for $50 for peri
cd of 20 days. The annual cost of this
amount of insurance is about Is cents
a year, provided the holder of the novel
policy is not a cigarette fiend. The
amount of insurance is specifically
set aside for the defraying Of funeral
expenses in the event of accidental
death

hero after whom the battleship is
named, led the Chilean forces during
the years in which the country fought
for and won independence from Spain
He was president and dictator from
1916 until 1923. O'Higgins was the son
of Ambrosia O'Higgins, marquis de
Osorno, poor Irishman, who went to
South America to become a priest,
but, after varied career, finally rose
to be president of Chile under Spanish
domination, and also became viceroy
of Peru.

Washington, March 26.-The court Of

cause of the Maine disaster has report
ed that the loss of the battleship was
due to an outside explosion. The state
department, by direction of the presi-
dent, has cabled United States Minister

The Chinese have the best illustra-

strenuous efforts to acquire literary

RUSSIA is beginning to honor her
Siberian explorers. A statue is to be
erected at Chabarowsk, on the Amur,
of Deshnew, the Cossack who went by
sea in 1913 from the river Kolyma to
the river Anadyr, thus sailing through
Behring strait for the first time, and
proving that Asia was separated from
America. 1t is proposed moreover, to
change the name of the East Cape into
Cape Deshnew, which will probably be
objected to by geographers.

Finding of the Court.

Commander Mark, judge advocate of
the court of inquiry, delivered the re-
port to Secretary Long early Friday
morning, and shortly afterward it was
carried to the white house and placed
in the hands of the president. The
results, briefly stated, are that the loss
Of the Maine was due to an explosion
from the outside. the court being I'M
able to fix the responsibility for the
explosion. The court does not express
an opinion as to the character of the
explosive, but the testimony goes to
show that it was a powerful submarine
mine, the exact character of which is
not determined by the testimony,
though the belief was expressed that
it was a floating submarine mine.
There were two explosions, the court
finds, the first was from the outside,
and that set off one of the smaller mag
aZines.

We Are Ready for Trouble.

War preparation on an unprecedent-
ed scale is being hurried to completion
by the war and navy departments, and
the country is practically on war foot
ing.
The foregoing gives the record of one
of the most eventful days the national
capital has seen since the close of the
civil war. 1t was day of profoundly
important action, of the deepest anx-
iety, coupled with naval and military
activity, one step following another in
rapid succession. Representative men
of the administration, public men in all
branches of official and congressional
life, no less than the public in general,
shared in the tension to which the stu
alton has been wrought. There was no
effort among the highest officials, nor
indeed was it possible from what was
clearly apparent in the developments
of the day, to minimize the situation.

detail Members of the cabinet stated
after the meeting that the discussion
was of grave character and that never
since the wrecking of the Maine has the
situation seemed so critical.
The Spanish government has cabled
officially 10 Washington that the Span
ish naval commission holds the disaster
to the Maine to be of internal origin.
The government of Spain, it can be
stated positively, is not disposed to
turn back the torpedo fiotilla now pro-
ceeding from the Canaries, and would
be disinclined to consider a suggestion
from this government tending to inter-
fere with the disposition by Spain of
her own naval forces.
