Senator Hale Was Right.

In the Senate OF the United States
yesterday Senator Perkins of California
presented petition from organiza-
tons and individuals of that STATE,
asking Congress to make an appropria-
ton for the furnishing people Of India.
Senator Perkins said that in 1897 he
had asked for aud procured the ser
vices of chip to carry to India some
1000 tons of grain and provisions con-
tributed by the people of the Pacific
and some Of The Western States. NJ
official acknowledgment had been
made Of that donation, so far as the
Senator knew. H hesitated now TO
ask for reliet tor the people of India
lest Great Britain might not look with
favor upon the action of Congress in
offering unsolicited sims, as that coun-
ty might not regard with equanimity
the friendly Intervention by this gov
eminent in the South African war.
Thereupon Senator Hale of Maine
spoke up. The world had been stu
pe6ed, Mortified, at the suffering in
India, the chief of England's colonies.
He spoke of the horrors of the famine.
81 should like to ask the SENATOR
then he said, ad dressing Senator Per-
kins, "what England has done for the
people of India. She has spent hun.
dreds of millions in striking down and
crushing republics. 1t is the most bru.
tai manifestation of strength against
liberty and weakness the world has
ever seem" Again he pressed the
Senator for any information he might
have as to "England's action in this
matter while she is spending hundreds
of millions in destroying the Boer re.
publcs."

Death OF Editor Perkins.

Robert H. Perkins, we'll known as
the former editor of the Rutland Herald,
died suddenly Sunday morning at his
summer cottage at Shrewsbury pond.
The announcement of Mr.. Perkins
death comes suddenly to his former as
sociates in newspaper work. 1t was
not generally known that the condition
of his health threatened the near ap-
proach of dissolution. His malady is
reported to have been heart trouble.
Mr.. Perkins had been long associated
with newspaper work in other States as
we'll as in Vermont, but he was best
known from his late connection with
the Rutland Herald. AS an editorial
writer Mr.. Perkins had striking indi-
viduality, amounting almost to genius,
and he had many of the eccentricities
of genius. He was original in his style

LONDON, June 5.-The long awaited
dispatch from Lord Roberts dated
pretoria" has come at last. The
Transvaal capital was entered by the
British early this morning. This at
ternoon the field marshal will take
formal possession of the town and the
British flag will be hoisted over the
government buildings. Apparently
the actual entry of the capital was
made without opposition, the Beers
making their last fight in defence of
the town yesterday. The following is
Lord Roberts despatch announcing his
success:
"PREToRIA, June 5, 1l;40A. M.-We
are now In possession OF Pretoria. The
official entry will be made at Two
o clock this afternoon. (Signed) Rob-
erts."
Upon receipt of this intelligence
| London threw off the lethargy which
had prevailed since Lord Rosslyn's
despatch proved premature. The
town is now going wild. Within a
few minutes after the news was re-
ceived traffic IN front of the Mansion
House was completely stopped. A tre-
mendous poster has been placed out
side the building leading, "The Brit
ish flag flies at Pretoria"
Upon catching sight OF it the people
threw up their haas and cheered. The
cheering was carried along the street
IN ali directions and London was Gel

huttered from the windows and waved

II the Democratic party had decent
regard for consistency, it would, after
the Democratic members of the House
defeated the joint resolution propos-
ing constitutional amendment giving
Congress power to regulate trusts, for
ever keep silent on the subject of
trusts. The Republicans did not have
votes enough to adopt the resolution,
two-thirds being required for that class
of legislation, and only five Democrats
had the hardihood to defy the party
caucus and vote with the Republicans
for the resolution, which left the vote
thirty-eight short of the requisite two
thirds.
Representative Littlefeld, of Maine,
made strong speech on this question,
in which he scored the Democratic
party for the record of its leaders, in
Guiding Mr.. Bryan, on trusts antitrust
legislation, closing with these words:
eve are ready to go to the people in
November and to submit to their candid
common sense judgment whether the
Democratic party that has proved itself
incompetent to deal with this question,
shall be trusted, or the Republican
party. If the people of this country
shall register their verdict in accor-
dance with the proposition on that
you can fool some of the people all of
the time and all of the people some of
the time, but you cannot fool all of the
people all of the time then, when the
sun rises upon the morning that sees
William McKinley's denomination in
Philadelphia, it will be as the sun of
Austerlitz, illumined by the honor of
the Republican party.
Every time Democratic demagogue
bowls against trusts, he should be con-
fronted with the vote on this resolu-
ton, the most practical antitrust legis-
lation that has been before Congress,

STRICKEN FOXBORO.

FoXBoRO, Mass, June 4.--Close fol-
lowing the fire that devastated the
Union Straw Works. throwing four
hundred men out of employment, Fox
boro's imposing town ball was this
morning burned fiat, entailing a loss of
nearly $4,000. One of the oldest mem
bers of the fire department is dead and
a brother of the dead man is in the Bos-
ton hospital, probably dying. Two
other men, caught by the falling tower
OF the building, are at their homes and
the condition OF each is precarous. An
explosion was heard in the building
shortly before five O'Clock and when
the department arrived the structure
was in flames from the ground to the
roof.
George H. Josselyn, Arthur A. jesse
Ign, Joseph Watkins and Samuel John
son were on a ladder in front of the
building when the high tower fell. All
were buried in the ruins. Streams of
water were turned on the spot. Wat
kins and johnson were first removed,
critically injured Arthur Josselyn
was next taken out having sustained
severe internal injuries. His back was
badly hurt and his collar bone was
broken. He was sent to the Masss-
chusetts general hospital, Boston.
George Josselyu was not found for
some time. When he was rescued he
was so badly burned his identity could
not be established for long time.
The upper dart of his body was badly
burned. The man suffered terribly
until $40 when he died.

IN CONGRESS-.

WASHINGTON, June 1.-While the
naval appropriation bill was up for con-
sideration in the Senate today an ex-
citing discussion arose over the armor
| plate question. A sharp political
twist was given to the debate by q
speech which Mr.. Hanna of Ohio de-
| livered in favor of leaving the whole
matter in the hands of the Senate con-
| ferees and of comforting discretionary
power upon the secretary of the navy
in accordance with the House propo-
sition.
He became involved in a contro-
versy with Mr.. Tillman of South Car
DINA, and Mr.. Allen of Nebraska over
the governments ability to manufact-
ure armor satisfactorily, in the course
of which the sparks flew to the intense
interest of the auditors. Mr.. Teller of
Colorado, Mr.. Allen and Mr.. Pettigrew
of South Dakota replied to Mr.. Hanna
all speaking in political vein. The
bill finally was returned to conference.
Seventy-nine private pension bills
were passed, also the military academy
appropriation bill. The military acad-
envy bill carries amendments making
General Miles and all future command.
ers Of the army lieutenant generals and
General Corbin major general.
Consideration of the last of the APP
preparation bills, the general deficiency,
was begun but was not completed.
After a debate extending over two
days the House defeated the joint reso-
luton proposing constitutional amend
ment empowering Congress 10 regulate
trusts. 1t required two-thirds vote
under the constitution to adopt an
amendment to the constitution. The
vote stood, ayes, 1874, nays 131.
WASHINGTON, June 4.--The passage
of the last of the appropriation bills
which was accomplished Saturday
leaves no obstacle in the way of final
adjournment except the amendments
made to those bills by the Senate and
the opinion is now almost universal
that these differences can be adjusted
and all the business Of the session con-
Guided by the time named. The
leaders of all parties apparently are
united in the wish to bring the session
to close on Wednesday and by begin
ming the daily sittings early and allow
ing them to continue late they will sue
coed.
After an extended debate the Senate
on Saturday passed the bill providing
for the eXtradition of persons WHO
have committed certain crimes i'll Cuba
from the United States to the island.

alleged criminal shall be punished I'M

WASHINGTON, June 4.-The Senate
was in session ten hours today, four OF
which were spent in executive session.
Congress is in the last gasps Of the long
session and its expiration apparently is
to be quite perfunctory. Unless some
thing extraordinary occurs no further
general legislation of national import
ance will be enacted before final ad-
journment. The Senate today ratified
the extradition treaty with Switzerland.
The only feature of to-day's session
was the speech on the Philippine ques-
ton BY Mr. T,ller of Colorado and The
