GEN. H. g. orIs's REPORT

The Gallantry OF Col. Kessler. Col. Funston
and Mai. Kobbe is Especially Commend
ed.
Washington, May 11.-Adjutant Cen
eral Corbin to-day made public the re-
port of Gen. Harrison Gray Otis, COM
handing the First brigade, Second di-
vision, Eighth army corps, giving the
details of operations in the Philippines
! from the 1st to the 31st of March
The brigade participated in the
movement against Malolos, which oc-
cupied several days of fighting. In con-
GLIDING the report, Gen. Otis says:
THUS after an arduous and brilliant
campaign by the Second division, sup
ported by other troops, lasting several
days and involving frequent combats,
numerous casualties among our troops
and heavy losses by the enemy, Malo-
los, the recent capital of the so-called
Filipino revolutionary government
fell before the American arms.
1T is my grateful privilege to again
highly commend the conduct of the Off
GERS and men of my command through
out the campaign. They have shown
in an eminent degree the qualities of
good soldiers; obedience, discipline, en-
durance, courage, steadiness, patriot
ism, and the. most magnificent ardor in
battle. The regimental commanders,
Col. Harry c. Kessler, First Montana
infantry; Col. Frederick Funston,
Twentieth Kansas infantry, and Major
w. A. Kobbe, commanding The TWO bat
talions of the Third United States artil-
lery Serving as infantry, have again
proved in actual field service their
capacity and fitness for their RESPONSE
BILE posts, and their skill and gallantry
under fire. l again recommend them,
and each of them, for such special
mark Of distinction as the command
ing general and the War Department
may be pleased to confer upon them,
on the merits
1T is my grievous task to have to re-
port that the casualties of the brigade
during the seven days operations par
ticularly described in this report, ag-
gregate 1876 in killed and wounded. thus
swelling the brigade's total casualties
in battle since the outbreak of the re-
bellion to 2S5, or considerably more
than 10 per cent. of the average effect
i've strength of the command actually
engaged in the campaign from first to
last"

BERTHA BEILSTEIN.
Physicians Swear She Was Insare
Three Years Eefore She Killed Her
Mother.

Pittsburg, Pa, Nay 1.-THE morn
ing session of the Beilstein murder case
was taken up with hearing the testi-
mony of insanity experts. Five physi-
clans were examined, Drs. McKennan,
IRE, Bing, Diller and Strorrsly. Dr..
IRE expressed the opinion that the de-
PENDANT, Bertha Beilstein. was insane
three years before she killed her moth
er, and that the disease was caused by
disappointment in love. The other
physicians in reply to hypothetical
propositions said that she was undoubt-
eddy insane at the time of the murder
and probably had. been so for several
years.
At the afternoon session two more
physicians. Drs. Ayres and Ewing, tes-
titled that they considered Miss Bell
stein insane when she committed the
murder and probably for several years
previous TO that slime. The defense
then rested its case and the common
wealth occupied the balance of the day
with rebuttal testimony, but nothing
of special Importance developed.
Argument will probably begin to-mor-
rom.

Il think" the witness replied, "the
Standard Oil Company could explain
that. The understanding is that it has
realized about $500, 900, 000"
Mr.. Lee was quite confident that the
general effect of trusts was injurious
to labor. The effect was to deprive
laborers of competition, a chance for
employment when they are crowded
out of work and to make them sub
servient and poorer citizens. Speak
ing specifically of the Standard COM
pany's treatment of its employees. he
said they were well paid and certain
class of them received very high salar-
les. Still the ultimate effect of any
monopoly must be injurious TO labor.
As means of prevention of trusts,
Mr. Lee suggested law making de-
structive competition criminal Of
Tense. He thought the fear of impris-
onment would intimidate some Of them.
Nothing had done SO much as destruct-
i've competition to prevent progress and
fairness. The law could be passed by
the States and in case of prosecution
prices charged for years could be used
as evidence. lie would also suggest
that the capital of all corporations ex-
cept those of public or quasi public
nature, should be limited to $1,000, 900.
He thought that something of this kind
was necessary and that if remedy was
not found the country would be ruined
by combinations of capital detrimental
to the public interests Under the
present conditions personal ambition
was stifled and many men were being
kept out of business because of the ex-
istence of these combinations

BLOODY WORK OF JOE HARVEY.

HE FINALLY SHOT HIMSELF-TWO
OF THE MURDERS COMMITTED
THREE MILES FROM HARVEY'S

COMMISSION OF THIS CRIME
THE MURDERER TRIED TO
WIPE OUT HIS OWN FAMILY.

Howard City, Mich, May 11.-Joseph
Harvey last night killed his wife, his
uncle, Robert Pierson, and his grand
mother. He also fatally wounded his
three-months-old baby and his father
in-law,. John Logenslayer, and finally
shot himself, infiicting wound which
is expected to prove fatal.
Harvey's uncle and grandmother live
a mile north of town. The murderer
went there last evening. lie asserts
that Pierson, his uncle, was quarreling
with his grandmother and that he in
terfered; that thereupon Pierson stabb-
ed and killed the old lady, aged 70
years, and that he (Harvey) retaliated
by shooting his uncle. After shooting
Pierson, Harvey stabbed him three
times
Harvey then returned to his home,
two miles southwest of town. Arrived
there, he shot his wife twice. killing
her. He then fired at his three-months-
old baby, the bullet going into its arm.
Next Harvey entered his rather-in-law' :
room and shot him twice, inficting,
however, no fatal injury. He then
turned the revolver on himself, shoot
ing himself in the neck. Harvey's wife,
when attacked, was sitting up with the
remains of her mother, who died yes
terday.
The Pierson home presents a horri-
BILE appearance. Persons body was
found in a chair and that of the old
lady on the floor clad in a night dress.
There are signs of desperate struggle
between Harvey and his grandmother,
but no indication of fight between
the two men.
Harvey himself to-day informed the
sheriff of the murders at Pierson' S
house. He was then arrested for muir
dering his wife. He has nothing to say
about the tragedies at his own home.
There are threats of lynching.
1t transpires that Harvey, on reach
Jig the home of his later mother-in-
/ law said nothing about his terrible acts
at Persons house. He offered to sit
up by the corpse of his wife's mother.
Accordingly the others retired. 1t was
4 O'Clock this morning when Harvey
went to his wife's room and killed her
and attempted to Stay his baby and his

CORES pendent has the authority of a
member of the cabinet for statement
that the President, before he left Wash
ington, had practically made up his
mind to call Congress together in ex-
traordinary session about October 20.
The President wants the policy of
the government in respect to the Phil
ippines and other colonial possessions
thoroughly defined and the currency
question disposed of before the next
campaign. These are the governing
minor reasons for Congress beginning
its work on October 20. instead of in
December. The President believes
Congress will be able to organize and
make considerable progress with its
work before the holiday recess. If the
gathering is deferred until December
he fears that the session will be pro-
longed until late summer, with many
of the. important questions pending
while the nominating conventions are
in session. He expects to have his
policy in respect to the future govern
ment of the Philippines fully outlined
early in October Long before that
Admiral Dewey will be here with a
preliminary report from the members
