M0MENTOUS,M MATTER APPEARS
On the Horizon Of State AFairs-The
Fact That War Exists in China
Cannot Longer be Ignored. 4

WASHINGTON. Aug. 2s.-Whlla thu
decision OF the President not to go 10
Chicago does not signify necessarily
that he ycontemplates calling Congress
togethersin extra session, in indicates
that the. possibility Of such action be-
coming necessary Is realized. Hereto
fore, as grave Sas the Chinese, situation
has been and as great as has been the
Presidents anxiety for the safety OF our
people at PeNn, conditions have nor
been such as to compel him to remain ID
Washington. AtScanton he has been III
constant communication by telephone
and was as able to conduct business
from there as he would have been at the
white house. The pressing necessity OF
bIs remaining In Washington has de-
yolSed with the the past day or two,
since the decision that he could not go
10 Chicago was not reached earlier than
yesterday. when he held a long and i'm
portant conference with Secretary Root
and Assistant Secretary Adee. With
the possibility OF 1t becoming necessary
TO call an extra session OF Congress-, the
necessity OF the Presidents remaining
in Washington would be apparent.
Reached Crisis.
What appears to be the fact is that
the administration is not in possession
OF information OF sufficiently definite
character TO warrant differentiation
to-day whether there is need for the
meeting OF Congress Immediately upon
the knowledge OF developments which
would renderit necessary. The Chinese
affairs have reached that, crisis where
within .twenty-tour hours conditions
may take a turn one way or the other.
So little is known OF the disposition Of
the Chinese government that there is no
means of:judglngS whether the reply
sent: 10 III Hung Chang will.be received
in a complaint spirit, or one of defiance.
and the worst must be prepared for.
Al stage Sshas been reached. where
events move rapidly at the sea, OF mil
itary operations, and II there Is not q
speedy collapse OF Chinese resistance
the fact, that war actually exists cannot
long be Ignored. The hope Is entertain
ed that the spirit OF hostility in China
viii be broken by, the vigorous course OF
tina allied forces, and that the Chinese
government. recognizing the sentiments
OF justice which inspire the United
States government, will at once come. &c
terms: but this hope cannot, be relied on
with security.

FOR NEGLIGENCE.
Mrs. Masterson Sues Mr..
Burke for Damages for Fatal
Injury Of Her Horse.

Before Judge Wilbur and jury was
begun this morning the trial OF the suit
OF Mrs. Minnie n. Masterson against
Tobias Burke to recover $500 for al
legged negligence. A horse owned by
Mrs. Masterson was run into BY bug
gy TO which was attached a trotting
horse owned by Burke on Reservoir
avenue. 1t is alleged Burke drove very
carelessly.
John A. Masterson, who was driving
the plaintiffs horse testified he was the
husband OF Mrs. Masterson and on
November 5th, 1899, was driving along
Reservoir avenue. Ii was of a Sunday
between and 80 o'clock In the after
noon. The horse that was in the plain
tifY's care was worth 1926. IT was near
the corner of Pontiac avenue that the
collision occurred. There was quite n
patty OF horsemen out that day and
witness was trying no get TO his proper
place on the road, having been pushed
out OF the way by the other roadsters.
Burke was coming from, an opposite
direction and would not let witness
have much room 10 get out and then
the left shaft of Burke's buggy struck
Mrs Masterson near the shoulder. The
dasher OF the wagon was bent, Mr..
Masterson was almost thrown out and
one of the shafts of Burke's buggy
broken and the point entered the
horses stomach. Mr.. Burke told wit
ness IL was the first time he had used
the buggy. The horse was so badly in
jured that II died soon after the col
lision. @ N
One of the witnesses for the plaintiff
was asked by Mr.. Hogan. defendants s
counsel what Burke said when the ac-
cident occurred and the reply. was
What's the matter with you. John, are
you getting crazyY' Counsel queried.
Did he say are you drunk or crazy"
Witness did not hear the word drunk
used. but would not swear Burke did
not use il. Counsel asked this question
next: What was Masterson's con-
dition." and witness replied: HE was
dead sober"
Mr.. Burke denied he was careless
and claimed the accident was wholly
due to the negligent manner in which
plaintiff drove.

Washington. April 17.-After the
transaction of some routine business
today, the senate was addressed by Mr..
Hoar on the Philippine question. In
Gense interest was manifested in the ad-
dress by senators.
Mr.. Hoar took for his text the resolu-
tion Of Mr.. Beyeridge OF Indiana, de-
claring that the Philippines are terri
tory belonging to ighe United States and
that the United Safes government must
govern the archipelago. Mr.. Hoar spoke
with deliberation, but scarcely with
his usual forcefulness. He requested his
colleagues not TO interrupt him I'm the
course of his speech, indicating that the
state Of his health rendered IL undesira-
Bile that he should enter into running
debate.
Mr. Hoar maintained his well known
position that the Filipnos had achieved
their indepe ndence that the United
States had made them Dts allies and was
bound 10 recognize their independence
and that they had proved themselves M
for such Independence and capable OF
SELF -government As one bit of proof
of nheir state-craft he declared.

SUES BR0THER-IN-LAW
FOR $1,000 FOR ATTACK.

A difference of opinion about the best
style of firemans uniform and a re-
ceipt led 70 a trial in Judge Dubois
court this morning IN which. the de-
PENDANT and plaintiff are brothers-in-

witnesses agree up that point, but after
that the witnesses for the defence say
Davenport was the af.gressor and
Trainor only pushed Davenport away.
The last scene was enacted at the
soda water bar. and the plaistiff and
his witnesses insist that Trainor start
ed for Davenport and had his fist
closed: that as Trainor neared Daven-
port the fist was opened and the form

throat, apparently shutting off his

HAD CLOSE SHAVE.
Cuslck Run Down by Heavy Team
While Riding a Wheel.
The PIucky Boy Saved Himself by CIutchlng
The Horses Neck.

An accident occurred on Westminster
street, near Turks head, today, in
which a boy named cusick had a mar
row escape from serious injury, and as
IL was, his wheel was completely
wrecked.
1t appears that young Cusick. who is
a messenger boy employed by one of
the local companies. was on his way
up the street when a team owned by
the Oakdale Manufacturing company
ran him down.
Cusick escaped being injured by
catching hold OF the horses neck and
hanging there until the animal was
stopped. The wheels of the wagon
passed over his bicycle and completely
ruined IL.
