ANTI- CANTEEN WON
The Ladies of the W. c. T. U. Watch ing From the Galleries Probably Influenced the Representatives. A Favorable Report on a Bill Adopting the Metric System in the United States.

Washington, Dec. 6.-T1he house to- today, at the end of a long session, passed the army reorganization bill by a vote of 166 to 133 Three demo- crats, Messrs. Hall, of Pennsylvania, and Underhill and Slayton, of New York, voted with the republicans, for the bill, and Mccall, republican, of Massachusetts, with the democrats, against it. Otherwise it was a party vote.
 The position which the democrats at tempted to commit their side to in caucus-an expression in favor of the present temporary army until July 1, 1903, and which was voted upon indi- rectly on motion to recommit-com- manded the votes of only about half the opposition and two republicans, MT. Mccall and MT. Mann, of Illinois. Many of the democrats, however voted against the motion because they were opposed, not only to the reorganiza- ton bill, but also to continuing the temporary arnlyat it's present strength.
 Quite number of amendments were placed upon the bill before it was passed. The liveliest fight was made upon a substitute offered by Mir. Lit tlefield, of Maine, for the canteen sec ton. The substitute absolutely pro- hibited the sale of intoXicants at miI- tary posts. It was supported by Messrs. Littlelield. Grosvencr, Dick and Hay (den.) of Virginia, and op- posed by Messrs. Slayden (dem) of Texas, Fitzgerald (dem.) of Massachu sets, Pearce (rep) of Missouri, Par ker (rep) of New Jersey, and Bar tholdt (rep.) of Missouri.
 A large delegation of the W. c. T. U., which is in session in this city, watched the fight from the gallery. When the vote was taken, the prohibition amend ment was carried by an overwhelming majority-159 to 51.
 Among the amendments adopted was one providing for a veterinary corps, a dental corps, and for the appoint ment of sixty-five volunteer surgeons and assistants for the term of two years.
 A bill for the adoption of the metric system by the United States was today favorably reported by the unanimous vote of the house committee on coin weights and measures.

support, and used to put them into the pockets of his republican friends and into the sewer openings.
 The democratic central committee of this county swore it cost them about S4,200 to get through the election. A little more than $1 300 was spent under oath in bribing voters by paying regis tration fees. The report of the repub- lican central committee is not far from being a duplicate of this self-incrimi- hating statement.
 It cost Samuel Stout almost $1,300 to be elected sheriff. but $1. .1G0 of this sum was piled upon him by the central committee. The price paid by Charles Barnett for the assessors office was $247. J. E. Walker paid a little less than $500 to be treasurer. Legislators generally came under $1OO. The aver age for supervisors was S25O. Other county offices beside those already emu .merated, cost less than S90). The Re publican's story of expenses would be more explicit as to names and figures were it not for the fact shat within a day or two all will be printed in this paper in a general official statement.

the foreign exchanges. A war in any part of the world has become more than ever the concern of our government and therefore of our markets. In briet Wall street is now part and parcel of the worlds system of nerve centers. and therefore must sympathize with a thousand matters which it has hither- to viewed with the eyes of a disinter- ested stranger. With this broadening of our national interests, Wall street must widen the scope of it's daily out look and increase the number of fac tors to be reckoned in dealing with the affairs of the stock exchange.
 We cannot be safe then in restricting our estimate of the future course of in vestment and speculation to the wholly domestic conditions and prospects above referred to; We must stand ready to see home influences crossed by for eign China intimately concerns us. It is destined to be of more moment to us than any other government; and with the swiftness with which events are moving in that empire, Pekin may at any time become a disturbing agent acting upon New York. Whatever may be said as to our theoretic relations with other countries the United States has been perman1 ntly dragged out from it's national isolation and must in flu ture participate in whatever move ments concern the family of nations. At an early day. the attention of con- gress will be occupied with affairs con- cerning Cuba, the Philippines and Chi ma, and it's discussions may quite pos sibly have a significance that will ma terially affect Wall street interests.

INDIAN SUPERSTITION.
The Arizona Navajoes Will Not Eat
 Fish.

Miss Mary A. Tripp, Methodist mis- sionary among the Navajoes, gives in the publication of the w. H. M. s. of that denomination an interesting ac- count of some of the customs of the tribe. Here is an instance of a strange superstition in existence among them:
 "The Navajoes never eat fish. Some of them say that the souls of the Az tees, who formerly inhabited this coun- try, have gone into the fish, others say that the souls of their women go into the fish. The fact is certain that they will not eat them if they know it, even when starving. A trader told us that one day he fed a Navajo and gave him fish for his dinner. The man had never tasted fish before, consequently did not know that he had been eating fish, and the man was taken violently sick. The trader was afraid that the Navajo would die on his hands and in all haste sent for an Indian doctor. He recovered after the doctor had sung over him for awhile, but the trader was badly scared"

ELECTION EXPENSES
Yesterday the Last When Statements
 Could Be Submitted.

Yesterday was the last day under the statute providing for the purity of elections, when candidates at the late election could return a list of their ex- penses. Candidates for delegate to congress, for members of the Iegisla- ture, and, for some occult reason, can didates for district attorney, have to report to the territorial secretary.
 Candidates for other county officers make their returns to the board of su- pervisors of their counties. The dele gate candidates expenses approach the neighborhood of $3,O0O.
 Legislative expenses vary from $25O to S450, dependent in all cases but one upon travelling expenses. In that one case the candidate put in the unlawful item of Whisky, $5!' His name was not signed to the statement, and it was sent back for correction.
 A candidate for member of the legis- !ature from this county, a republican, included in his statement a $25 contri button to the prohibitionists, whose vote was generally cast against the republican ticket, not because the re publican party was opposed to prohibit ton, but because it had declined to annex itself to the prohibition party in the warfare against the arch-supporter of King Gambrinus, the democratic party. This contributor was among those who ran.'
 The man, by the way, who paid ''$5 for whisky was elected to the legisla- ture and will assist in making laws for the legislature. The republican who contributed to his own defeat will join with those whom he assisted to defeat him, in deploring such legisla- tion as will be enacted.
 A candidate in Tempe precinct for a precinct office, was ''5O cents to the understanding more. A Phoe- nix precinct officer-elect swore solemn ly and in several places that his ex- pense were $0,00O, and that the grand total amounted to only $0,000 He had, however, a thousand cards printed, as Republican reporter knows, at a cost of $2.50, and used to give them to dogs in the street and invite their hearty

FOUND AN EMPTY COFFIN.
The Sudden Death of a Forger and the
 Quick Marriage of His Widow.

Princeton, Ky, Dec. 6.-Last week Frank Merrick, farmer of this coun- ty. was arrested on the charge of forging the name of R. w. Keevil 6, Sons to a check for various amounts on banks in this state and Illinois and Missouri. The fact that Merrick was q forger was developed by statements in petition for a divorce filed by his wife. Merrick confessed to forging the checks, making full breast of the matter to his friend, James Moore, and to the officers. On Monday Merrick died suddenly and on Wednesday his widow and Moore were married, the ceremony being performed bp Squire w. c. Fucker.
 The sudden death of Mer1ick and the immediate marriage of his widow caused much talk. and an investiga- tion was ordered by the county judge. Health Officer James today opened Merrlck's grave for the purpose of hay ing physicians make an examination of his stomach to learn if he had been poisoned. The officials found an emp ty coffin. Merrick's body had been re- moved and as yet no trace of it has been found.
 Mrs. Moore is a fine-looking woman and had been married to Moore only a few months. Since Mrs. Merrick and Moore met she had quaEreled ire quently with her husband. Merrick never bore a good reputation. When arrested al his home he feigned illness and was allowed to remain at his home. His father has paid back part of the money he obtained, and it is believed he will satisfy all of his sons creditors.

WHAT SARA SAYS GOES
Benhardt and Coqueliu Play to no
 0ne-Night Towns.

New York, Dec. 6.-Sarah Bernhardt objeoLs to one night stands, and so strenuously that those upon the route list of her coming tour with Constant Coquelin have been stricken off. The French actress cannot abide the hurry and hustle incident to stops of a few hours in country villages, even tlhOugh the inhabitants thereof are clamorous to see her, at at her own price.
 Three towns thus disappointed are Los Angeles, Cal, and San Antonio and Galveston, Tex, in each of which one performance has been advertised. They were to have been breaks in the long ride from New Orleans to San Francisco, but Mme. Bernhardt has sgnified thai she does not care to leave her car between the Crescent City and the Golden Gate and prefers to tack the canceled dates to the weeks en- gagement in the latter place. As her desires during the American trip are practically law, in so far as the con- tract held by Maurice Grau will allow plans have been altered to suit her.
 That her word is something quite
 final was illustrated early in the week over difference of opinion between herself and COquelin as to the mann ar in which the calcium light was to shed its lustre on Ehe stage. She gave di- rections that the lights should be ar ranged in a certain scene in which she and Coquelin appeared together. He went to the electrician with contrary directions, not, however, with any in tention of countermanding her orders He did not know she had spoken.
 The man at the switchboard did not speak of his previous instructions, but promised Ito obey the actor. Then he told his troubles to the stage director who in turn went to the manager

WORLD" GUILTY OF LIBEL.

 of $25.000 Against the Newspaper


 New York, Dec. 6.-General Charles H. T. Collis obtained verdict today of s25.00O against the Press Publishing company, publishers of the World for libel. The case was tried before Jus tice TruaX of the supreme court. The article on which it was based was pub ltshed in the World on October s. 1897. when Gen. Collis was commissioner of public works. and was entitled "Collis and Platt Work a Huge Graft" It was set forth in the article that Gen. Collis was compelling contractors with the department of public works to have as surety on- their bonds the Fidelity and Deposit Company of Maryland. David Mcclure and John s. Wise appeared for Gen. Collis and John M. Bowers and James w Gerard for the defendant. The defendant pleaded that the article was true
 The verdict was found on Wednes- day night and was brought into court this morning sealed. The jurors being boiled at the request of Mir. Bow CTS each answered that the verdict was his. MT. Bowers then asked that the verdict be set aside, one ground being that it was excessive, but Justice Truax said that if he had been on the jury he would probably have found similar verdict.
 But the plainteiff did not prove that he had sustained any pecuniary dam age.'' returHed Mir. Bowers.
 There are damages said the Judge, that are worse than pecuniary dam ages in such a case as this.''
