WASHINGTON, April 20. = The
House to-day put its heel upon the
pneumatic mail tube service now in
operation in New York, Boston and
Philadelphia, and if it's action stands
the whole service will be crushed out.
The Post Office Committee had recon-
mended an increase of the appropria-
ton for this service from S225, 900 to
1925 900. The proposed increase was
attacked by the Appropriations Com
mittee under the leadership of Mr..
Moody (Mass.) with such vigor and
success that in the end the House
voted 81 to so to strike out the entire
appropriation from the bill. MIR.
Moody created a sensation by the man
ner in which he assaulted the methods
of the Pneumatic Tube Company and
the direct charge that a former mem
Der of Congress who was a member
of the Appropriations Committee had
been a holder of the stocks and bonds
u II ACAApdhS' IIS uSCllucQ W us
close the gentleman's name. He added
to the scandal by charging that a block
of stock had been sent as a New Years
gift to a near relative of another mem
Der of Congress, but, to the credit of
the member, he said the dishonoring
gift had been returned to the sender
by the mex mail. Although the tube
service Vas highly commended by
other members, these revelations
transformed the sentiment of the
House, which has several times voted
for the tube service, into a decisive
majority against it's continuation in
any form.
Mr.. Tawney, of Minnnesito, offered
as an amendment a bill to reclassify
railway mail clerks, but it went out
on a point of order.

CONSTANTINOPLE, Tuesday, April
24.-In view of the steps taken by the
United States government in regard to
the claims arising out of the Armenian
massacres, the embassies of Great Brit
ain, France, Austria, Italy and Ger
many have asked their governments
for instructions as to their similar
claims.
The PRONUNCIATION of the trade
authorizing the rebuilding of the Amer
lean structures burned at Kharput and
the enlargement of the Roberts col
lege is regarded as showing clearly
the desire of the Yildiz Kiosk to be
agreeable to the United States in the
hope that the latter will not press for
the payment of the indemnity. The
United States government, however,
has no intention of abandoning its
claim.
The American legation has also NC
ceeded in obtaining permission for the
continued working by American mis-
sionaries of the hospital at Kaisarieh,
which the authorities have been trying
to shut up on the preteXt that certain
local regulations had not been OBJ
served.
The American vice consul at Alex
andretta, Mr.. Walter F. Walker, was
recently prevented by the police from
shipping two n~aturalized American
Armenians who were on their way to
the United States, on the ground that
| they originally left their native coun-
try surreptitiously. The legation to-
day called the attention of The Porte
to the affair, and orders were sent to
Alexandria, to permit the embarka-
ton of the Armenians. The report of
the vice consul is awaited at the lega-
ton in order to determine if there are
grounds for reparation.
LONDON, April 26.-The Constantine
ople correspondent of the Daily Tele-
graph says:
THE Porte considers that it's offer to
rebuild the American structures
burned at Kharput will close the ques-
ton. 1t bases this belief on news that
Russia has intimated an intention to
oppose any attempt on the part of the
United States to enforce payment"

AKRON, O., April 25.-Unusual d.
rections and requests are contained in
the will of Rebecca L. Young, a we'll
TODD Twinsburg woman, whose death
occurred yesterday. After making be-
quests to relatives the will states:
Before my body is buried l direct
that a post-mortem examination be
made. so far as to detach the heart or
brain entirely from its connections;
or if this cannot be done, that two
bullets be put through the heart and
two through the brain. | implore from
the kindness of any friend or the pity
of any stranger who may be on hand
at that time that this wish may not
be sighted. If at the time of my
death none of my family be living to
be panied by such disposition of my
body, | bequeath it to DR.. Geiste, of
Twinsburg, for dissection, to be given
by him to any medical college that
may have a. use for it, or disposed of
as he may choose"
The will was made in 1888. A sis
ter of the testator caused a post-mor-
tenn examination to be made, and the
heart was severed from its connections
as directed.

REPORT ON CONVICT LABOR.
The Industrial Commission Offers
Suggestions for Rendering Such
Labor Less Antngonistfc to Free
Labor.

SnSstSttOus LOT EteuUeFhnE such
Labor Less Antngonistic to Free
Labor.
WASHINGTON, April 25.-The In
dustrial Commission to-day sent to
Congress its report on prison labor.
In summing up its conclusions, the
Commission says that all prisoners
should be engaged in productive labor
and that the State should have abso-
lutte control of their care. Their en-
ployment with the intention of pro-
ducing revenues, the report says, tends
to the greatest competition with free
labor and detracts from the punitive
reformatory and disciplinary features
of the prisons. Employment of pris-
oners on public works has the least
tendency to competition with free la
Dor. In order to harmonic the antag-
onistic interests of the different States
the industrial operations OF penal and
like institutions in each should be UNI
der the supervision Of a central Of
flee. Adoption of laws embracing the
principles mentioned has been retarded
by various conditions in many of the
States. The adoption of uniform leg
islation, the report says, is the only
remedy for existing abuses.
The commission submits general pro-
visions Of law mainly from the New
York statute and recommends that
such part shall be embodied In the laws
of the different States as is found
possible. The Introduction OF inter-
state in all goods, ETC., the
product of convict labor, supplemented
by State legislatures, would be the
nearest to a complete remedy for evils
of convict labor competition; but in the
absence of such laws the most prac-
teal step would be an act making
such goods upon their arrival in any
State subject to its laws. Commits
sioners Smythe and Harris dissent
from that portion OF the report econ
mending an Introduction of prison
made goods, and Mr.. Smythe also dis
sents from a recommendation fixing
eight hours for a days work for pris-

WASHINGTON, D. c., April IS
Senator McComas, of Maryland, to-day
called up in the Senate the resolu-
ton reported in March from the Com
mite on Privileges and Elections de-
claring that Nathan B. Scott, of West
Virginia, was duly elected Senator and
is entitled to a seat in the Senate.
The Maryland Senator made a state
ment of some length regarding the
Scott contest, saying the committee
had fully examined into the questions
involved and had reached the conclu-
sion that there were no facts in the
case warranting further investigation.
His statement was an elaboration of
the majority report of the committee
and contained nothing new in support
of SCOTS contention. Senator Nc
Comas, as member of the committee,
prepared the majority report.
Senator Pettus, who wrote the min
GRITTY report against Scott. asked that
further discussion of the case go over
until tomorrow, when it is expected
Senators Pettus, Daniel, of Virginia.
and possibly others will argue in favor
of the contention that Scott was not

MANILA, April $500 p. m--om-
GERS who have arrived here from Neuva
Caceras, province of South Camarines,
bring details of a fight April 16. in
which eighty Filipinos were killed.
The American outposts reported three
! hundred natives assembled three miles
from the town, and Gen. Bell sent
three attachments of the Forty-sixth
regiment, with two maxims, who neal
ly surrounded the Filipinos, the major
ity of whom were armed with bolos and
wore caraboa hide helmets, coats and
shields. The Filipinos were quickly
put to flight, leaving the field strewn
with armor. Their rifiemen were un-
able to shoot straight and the bolomen
! never got near enough TO the Ameri-
ans to do any execution. Therefore
none of the Americans were wounded.
Lieut. Balch, with twenty cavalry
men from the Thirty-seventh regiment,
cornered fifty bolomen in a river and
shot every one, the bodies floating
away. One soldier had his head struck
off with a bolo.
Gen. Bells two regiments are hard
worked IN clearing the country. Ihey
meet with many small squads of boz
lomen, and last week killed a total OF
125. A squadron of the Eleventh cav
airy Is about leaving Manila on board
the transport Lenox to reinforce them.
The insurgents keep the province in a
state of terror and are wreaking venge-
ance on natives who tradg with the
Americans, burning many Villages, in
GLIDING the populous town of San Fer
nando.
Gen. Bell has issued a proclamation
declaring that he will retaliate relent-
lessly unless this guerrilla war ceases
and that he will burn all the towns
which harbor guerrillas.
In a fight at Sorgogon, Albay prov
ince, on, April 16, three companies of
the Forty-seventh infantry, Capt. Cor
don commanding. routed a large force
of insurgents, mostly bolomen, killing
SO.
The plans of Gen. Otis have not
been announced, but 1t is understood
he intends to sail on the Meade or
the Grant early in May. He will be
accompanied by his staff, and will prob
ably visit Hong Kong and other ports.
