LOOKING TO A COMPROMISE.
A Movement Inaugurated by the Repub-
licans to Patch Up the Array Re-
organization Bill.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1S,-There was
Friday looking to- a compr omise on
the army reorganization bill. The
movement originated with several re-
publican senators. who advance the
opinion that compromise was prefer
able to an extra session of congress.
The Cockrell bill was accepted by
them as the first advance on the part
of the democrats toward an under
standing, and many felt that they
would go farther in that direction
in case the republicans should indicate
a willingness TO meet them half way.
The movement grew wholly out of the
desire to avoid special session and
was participated in by some of the
republican leaders. When the matter
was brought to the attention of
Senator Hawley, chairman of the
committee on military affairs, he gave
it no countenance whatever, de-
claring that he was not willing
to yield anything. He was critical OF
the Cockrell bill, finding especial fault
with it's provisions for natives of the
new possessions in the American army.
He announced his purpose to stand by
his notice to call up the bill reported
by the republican members and insist
upon consideration on that basis and
that only. Other republican members
of the committee did not appear
so decided. Senator Proctor, who does
not support the house bill, is expected
to return to the city Saturday and
there will then be a majority of the
committee antagonistic to the bill.

FOUR ASPHYXIATED BY GAS.
Mrs. Charles Fahrenkamp, Her Two Chill
dren and an Unknown Woman Found
Dead in Their House in Philadelphia.

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 20.-Mrs. Chas.
Fahrenkamp, aged So; her two chill
dren, Florence and William, aged re-
spectively 10 and years, and an I'M
known woman, aged 35 years, were
found dead Sunday in a room in Mrs.
Fahrenkamp's home, 1416 North Fifty
second street. The gas was turned on
and life had apparently been extinct
for several days. Scattered about the
first floor were remnants of ci-
CARS and cigarettes and empty
beer and whisky bottles. The
bodies were found by a next door
neighbor who had forced an entrance
to the house. Mrs. Fahrenkamp was
lying on the floor and her daughter
nearby. The unknown woman and the
boy were in bed. The last heard from the
inmates of the house was on Thursday
night, when the piano was kept play
ing until late hour. On Friday morning
Mrs. Wilson, living next door
was asked by Florence to assist
her in raising her mother
from the floor where the child
said she was sleeping. Mrs. Wilson
told her she was unable to do so and
suggested that the girl cover her moth
err and allow her to continue sleeping.
The two women and the boy it is be-
lieved were then dead and from the
position of the girl who occupied an
other room. it is thought that she was
overcome by the gas while trying to
lift her mother. Mrs. Fahrenkamp's
left home about a week ago on bust
ness for his firm.

How a JOshing Judge Sailed Down
Delightfully."- Fresh
Young Man.

William Lightfoot Visscher tells this char
acteristic story of Hon. Isaac Parker, famous
as the terrible Judge at Fort Smith, Ark,
who probably sentenced more men to be eX-
ecuted than any other judge that ever lived.
This was not, however, because he was so
unrelentingly severe, but because he had
the hardest and most numerous lot 81 GRIM
inals to deal with that ever came within the
jurisdiction of such an official. One day
when there was an unusually large batcn OF
culprits to be sentenced, the judge looked
compasisonately over his spectacles at one
young scamp, and said
I'm consideration of the youth and in
experience of this prisoner l shall let him of
with fine of $50"
Before the Judge had done speaking the
very fresh young man cOolly stretched his
right leg and ran his hand into his trousers
pocket on one side, remarking nonchalantly
as he did so:
That's all hunky, Judge; I've got that
much right here in my jeans"
"And one year in the penitentiary," cons
Guided the Judge. Then looking over at the
convict in quizzical sort of way, he added:
''Do you happen to have that in your jeans?'

RIOT In A CHICAGO THEATER

Took Part - Chairs and Chandeliers
Were Broken and Carpets Torn Up.

CHICAGO, Feb. 2O.-A riot, in which
1900 men, women and children took
part, occurred Sunday afternoon at the
Star theater, Sedwick and Division
streets and before the police arrived

badly damaged. Scenery which was
to have been used in the presentation
of play had been tied up by legal
proceedings and after the audience
had waited until $3.50 p. N. for the cur
tain to be up, many began to clamOr
for the return of their money. They
were refused at the box office and two
minutes afterward chairs were broken
in pieces and hurled at the stage, chan
deliers were broken, carpets were torn
up and the theater and sidewalk out
side was one mass of fighting, yelling
humanity. The changing of the patrol

DEATH OF PRESIDENT FAURE
Flood of kilograms Of Coincidence Pours
In From All Parts OF the World
M'Kinley's Floral Tribute.

PARIS, Feb. 1S.-The flood of tele-
grams of coincidence from all parts of
the world continues. Probably She
most interesting are those of Emperor
Nicholas, conveying his sorrow, and
that of the czarina. President McKin-
ley. representing rhe feeling of the
sister republic, ane Emperor William,
praying that Goo would grant the
widow strength to bear her sorrow.
Among the most noticeable wreaths
is the kaiser's, comp osed of orchids
and parnavlolets, bearing the mono
gram w" surmounted by the imperial
crown. In sharp contrast to this are a
couple of pretty punches of flowers,
with ribbons inscribed to ''Our Friend
and Ally" and bearing the visiting
cards of the ear and czarina respect
lively.
Tie German colony in Paris has
sent its sincere regrets to Madame
Faure, with a beautiful wreath. Count
Muravieff, the Russian foreign min
lister, has wired the Russian govern
ment's condolences to the French min
lister of foreign affairs, M. Delcasse.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 1S.-Aside from
the transmission of formal assurances
of sorrow and sympathy, little further
action by this government because OF
the death OF President Faure will be
taken. The president will probably
instruct Minister Porter to present an
appropriate floral tribute on behalf of
the executive. This was done on
the occasion of the death OF
the Empress of Austria, when
the offering bore the writing,
From the president of the United
States-A tribute to noble woman.
On the day of President Faure's funer-
al it is probable that a requiem mass
will be said for the dead in one OF
Washington's churches, invitations to
which will be sent to the president,
the members of his cabinet, heads OF
departments and congress and repre-
sentatives of foreign countries resident
here. This was the case when former
President Carnot, of France, was as
| sassinated and when the empress OF
Austria recently died. The invitations
in such cases are transmitted by the
state department to the members Of
this government and the foreign rep
resentatives in Washington are invited
through the diplomatic office of the
| bereaved country.

dislodge them from the jungle on both
sides of the river.
The heat is intense and is increasing
perceptibly daily. Under present con-
ditions it is impossible to provide shade
for the troops in certain parts of the
line, particularly McArthur's division.
