THEY FELL FLAT.
Ex-ConsuI SHacrum Fails TO Substa E-
tiate E3is Sensational Charges.

Washington, March 29.-Ex-Consul
Macrum, of Pretoria, was heard by the
house committee on foreign affairs
yesterday in regard to the alleged in
reference of the British censor with
his letters.
Mr.. Macrum made out no case what
ever and after the hearing the COM
mittee determined to let the matt er
drop without taking any action.
Even the democratic members were
disgusted with the result of the exam
ination OF Mr.. Macrum, and two Of
them said there was nothing in the
case. Mr.. Macrum presented two let
ters which had been opened by the
censor, neither of them of any import
ance.
In reply to a question by Rep'esen-
tative Smith, he admitted he had re-
turned to the United States largely on
account of private business. He had
made no report to the state depart
ment in regard to the letters, nor had
he attempted to make such a report
to the department. He declined to say
why he had not made report, but
said he had gone to Assistant Secre-
AIRY Hill and said: Il understand I
nave been dismissed"
Mr.. Hill said his understanding was
correct and Mr.. Macrum said he had
therefore no report to make. He had
attempted to see Secretary Hay, but
was informd that he was out

Dublin flsileers, by Queen Victoria, to
replace the bugle lost by him on the
field of battle at Colenso on the 18th
December, 1S99 when he was wounded"
His companions thought that he would
probably be more afraid to face the
queen than the enemy, but he stood
firmly to his guns and came off with
flying colors.
The queen asked him about his health,
and whether he had fully recovered
from his wound, and seemed to be
pleased with the frank and manly man
ner in which the little soldier acted,
and accepted with evident pleasure the
framed portrait of himself which he
presented to her. In the room where
the little fellow had to wait-and, ac-
cording to one account, this was in
the basement of the palace-he was
surrounded by servants from various
departments, who were all anxious
to see and speak to the young soldier.
And then ladies from other parts of
the building came and brought their
birthday books, which the bugler was
asked to sign against the date of his
birth, July IA; and before the sum-
mons came to appear before the queen
he had held a levee in the basement
on his own account.

grcssman, in the senate and house of
representatives., committees of those
bodies were appointed to attend his
funeral, ostcnsibly to show to his
neighbors and friends the esteem in
which he had been held by the con
gress. The sergeant-at-arms of the
senate and the sergeant-at-arms of
the house made preparations for a
funeral train to bear the congressiOn-
al joint committee to the scene of the
funeral. Their preparations were cut
short. however. by the decision of
Mrs. Chickering that no congressional
committee would be desired by her or
By the other members of the family.
Congressman Chickering was a very
popular member of the house of rep
resentatives. The announcement of
his death caused sincere sorrow to
those of his colleagues who knew him,
and he was well known to almost
every man in public life. But a con-
gressional committee could not have
honestly shown respect and esteem
for him, unless the members of the
committee had departed from the Gus
tom which has prevailed of late years.

A Gigantic scheme.

New York, March 31.-A special 10
the World from Toronto says: y con-
tract has been signed between the
Ontario government and j. Pierpomt
Morgan, of New York, under which
millions of dollars are to be spent in
developing power from Niagara Falls
on the Canadian side. Mr.. Morgan
represents Il British syndicate. which
agrees to erect pulp works costing not
less than 100000 and to supply power
to All places from the falls to Toronto,
and the government will give the
right of way for channels and cables.
Power is to be ready in three years
and can only be supplied in Canada.

On all occasions when the subject
came up for discussion Mr.. Chickering
denounced the hilarious junketing in
dulged in by congressman on funeral
committees, and he often declared
that if he should die, while member
of the house of representatives, he
would want no junketing at his funer-
nj. His wife saw enough of the hollow
ness of this congressional mockery;
and it is TO her eternal honor as a
wife, and to her everlasting credit as
an American woman of the highest
type, that she carried out the wishes
of her deceased husband, and also
demonstrated her own individual con-
tempt for the mockery of an ostenta-
tion of unreal woe.
1t is fortunate for the country that
there have arisen a time and person
to stop this ghoul-like performance.
Mrs. Chickering has established pre-
cedent which ought to stand forever
as a bar to future congressional fu-
neral committees. There ought to be
no more funds paid out of ''the con-
tingent fund on such occasions for
champagne, whisky, cigars, gloves,
flowers, carriages, decorations, sump-
tuous breakfasts, elaborate dinners
and orgy Suppers on the funeral
trains. Well-informed people have
long been shocked and humiliated by
knowledge of the preposterous pa
geantry, the discreditable and vulgar
ostentation, the shameful junketing
on such occasions, and the eXtrava-
giant expenditures incurred in these
fragrant parodies on sincere mourning
and heartfelt grief.
Mrs. Chickering deserves the admira-
tion of the country, the gratitude of

considerable party of troops will re-

regimental drafts from England will
continue and 5000 horses will be sent
out. The paper definitely declares the

piled with ammunition and that the
campaign is likely to last another six
months. In best informed quarters,
however, it is asserted that there is no
ground for the pessimism of the Daily
