BLOOD SHED AT BROOKsIDE.
Charles O'Neil Is Shot Three Times
Dillon the WouId-be Assassin
Wounded Man
Taken to Pueblo.

The little community at Brookside
was startled Monday night about half
past eleven by the report that night
foreman Charles O'Neil of the Brook
side mine had been shot by miner
named John Dillon. O'Neil was shot
twice in the left hand, one bulle t
passing across the palm, the other
across the back of the hand and came
out at the wrist. The other shot
struck O'Neil on the left side of the
jaw near the chin, passed down the
neck and was taken out at the should
er. Unless some of the bones in the
hand are broken, O'Neil is not seri-
ously injured.
1t seems that Dillon has been laid
off some of late and may have become
angry for that reason. He entered
the mine about eleven clock Monday
night and enquired of some of the
men for O'Neil. When he heard of
this he waited for Dillon who soon
approached carrying light with him.
AS soon as he could he spoke to Dill
lon and at the same time walked to-
ward him. Dillon did not speak until
he was close to ONeil when he sud-
denly put the light behind him and
threw his other hand to his hip, and
flashed his gun saying, Il am after
you, you" and fired the shot
striking O'Neil on the jaw. Instant
ly graphing with Dillon, O'Neil soon
had him down and then a fight for
possession of the revolver followed.
In an instant O'Neil had gained con-
troll of the gun SO he could fire it;
this he did twice, evidently shooting
himself in the hand each time. Dill
Ion cried out not to shoot any more
as he was dying, all the time groaning
loudly. Not wishing to shoot dying
man. ONeil got up and started to
obtain assistance SO as to carry out
the murdered &? Dillon. Upon his
return to the place of the shooting
they found that Dillon had made his
escape and his hat was found near
the entrance to the tunnel. Since
the time the two men met there is no
clue to Dillon's whereabouts.
Undersheriff Simon was notified and
was on duty the balance of the night
trying to locate Dillon but without
success. kilograms were sent in all
directions and it seems that Dillon
will hardly be able to get out Of the
country.

REPEAL BILL IN COMMITTEE.
All Democratic Substitutes Defeated by a
strict Party Vote.

The partial repeal of the war revenue
Law, as provided in the bill introduced
Wednesday by Chairman Payne, was laid
before the full membership of the Ways
and Means Committee for the first time
yesterday. There were only two alb
sentees, Representative Babcock, of Wis
consin, and Representative Robertson, of
Louisiana. The Democrats were formally
given opportunity TO offer amendments
and substitutes to the bill as prepared by
the Republican members, but all their
proposals were defeated by strict party
vote. The best of feeling prevailed, and
no factious opposition will be offered to
the bill on the floor. Chairman Payne
will present the majority report to the
House tomorrow.
Mr.. Richardson's motion on the beer
tax was the first test of strength. 1t
provided for a fat rate of 81 per barrel
instead of g. This was lost-6 to 9-on a
strict party vote. Mr.. Swanson, of Vir-
ginia, then moved to recommit the bill
to a subcommittee. with instructions 20
prepare a measure making ssO,ooo,0oo re-
duction. Lost by the same vote. Mr..
Swanson next moved to eliminate al
special taxes on tobacco dealers imposed
defeated by the same vote.
Mr.. Underwood. of Alabama, presented
a substitute bill. of considerable length,
proposing a tax of 3 per cent. on incomes
over 5000, and making a number of re-
ductiors beyond those in the majority
bill. On this vote two of the Democrats,
Mcclellan, of New York, and Newlands,
of Nevada, did rot vote. the result being
the defeat of the substitutes to g. MIR.
Underwood moved TO restore the tax on
telephone messages. and Mr.. Newlands Of
fered an amendment restoring ii TO tele-
graph messages, the telegraph companies
to pay the tax, but both propositions were
lost-6 10 8. Mr.. Cooper, OF Texas, offer
ed an amendment striking out the ex-
emption of religious and charitable in
stitutions in the tax on inheritances. This
was lost on a viva voce vote.
On motion of Mr.. Hopkins, of Illinois.
the final section was changed, making
the act take effect immediately on its
passage.

NORFOLK HARBoR WORK.
Army EngiHeers Recommend Expenditure
of 1000 to Clear Channel.

Among the engineers reports forwarded
TO Congress Wednesday by Brig. Gen. VIII
son was one from Maj ]. 3. Quinn. who
recommends improvements at Norfolk,
Va. al a cost of $4,000. The preliminary
examination was made with view TO re-
move a bar and secure a depth OF S feet
at a point between the 2s-foot channel
and the pier of the Southern Railway
Company. Maj. Quinn recommends the
digging of the channel to within 75 feet OF
the established pier head line.
The Southern Railway owns their piers
at Pinner Point near Norfolk. and in
front of each about the same condition as
to depth OF water exists. The 2S-foot
channel is about 800 feet distant from the
outer ends of the piers. The least depth
between the piers and the channel is %
feet at mean low water. There Is lump
between the lower side of the center pier
and the upper side of the lower one. II
covers an area of 80 by 80 feet. with
depths Of from is 10 q feet at mean low
water The cost of removing this OBJ
struction, the engineer says, would not be
great, but he adds that the work would
seem 10 be of a private character. How
ever, a ship cannot always go in a direct
line from the pier to the channel, as the
channel would be TOO narrow to turn
either upstream or downstream without
delay and, then, with strong wind or
tide it would be impossible 10 keep the
ship on the course to the channel, es-
pecially as the ships most always back
out from the pier.
The major says he thinks 1t would be
advantageous to the large commerce OF
the harbor at Norfolk 10 have the area in
front of all the piers at Pinner Point
dredged. He would carry the dredging up
TO and opposite the bTeakwater. below the
Southern Railway Pier No. T. He says the
freight handled by the Southern Halfway
at Pinner Point amounted TO about 4io,vOO
tons during the calendar year 1899.
Another report forwarded by Gen. Will
son recommends the removal of rocks
near the entrance to the harbOr of Havre
de Grace, Nd, at a cost of Sl5,OO. The
! examination was made under direction of
Mai. william F. Smith by Mr.. George w.
II. Miller. The examination was made
from the Philadelphia, Wilmington and
Baltimore Railroad bridge 10 Seneca 5
wharf, a distance of about 1,5o0 feet, and
a width Of 200 feet. There are many nat
rocks Oh the bottom of the channel, with
a number of projections. having but to
feet of water over them. The commerce
of Havre de Grace represented $3.50 last
year and a tonnage of 1l0,250.

Thursdays Session.

Eager to furnish their white ribbon con-
stituents in the gallery a grand and in
spiring story to be told at home, q big
majority of the House of Representatives
went On a political stampede Thursday
against the army canteen. There was a
splendid flow of oratory, and statesmen
WED with each other for opportunity TO
deliver impassioned utterances. Gen.
Grosvenor led the way with narrative
of his conviction that the abolition of the
canteen was wrong, but that he should
vote the other way because the country
wanted it, A few Republicans and also a
few Democrats faced the music boldly
and pleaded the benefits of the cantesn
system and the almost universal appro-
val of it by army officers and others in
authority.
Shortly after the adoption of the anti
canteen amendment the army reorganiza-
ton bill was passed by a vote Of l66 TO 133.
Three Democrats, Messrs. Hall. of Penn
sylvania, and Underhill and Clayton, of
New York, voted with the Republicans
for the bill, and Mr.. Mccall, of Massachu-
setts, with the Democrats against it. 9th
erwise Il was a strict party vote.

Fridays Session.

By an agreement reached in the Senate
in executive session Friday, a vote will
be taken upon the Davis amendment II
the Hay-Pauncefote treaty at 5 o'clock
next Thursday afternoon. II is expected
that the amendment will be adopted. and
that the final vote on the ratification OF
the treaty as amended viii soon follow
OF the ratification Of the treaty, If il is
amended, there is no doubt
The suggestion for the agreement was
made by Senator Lodge, who is in charge
OF the treaty, at the conclusion of the
speech of Senator Morgan. The first prop
osition was for vote on Tuesday, but as
the Senate Is not TO be In session to-day,
and as a vote on Tuesday would have af-
forled only brief time for debate. SenA-
tors Lindsay and Pettigrew suggested
Thursday next, Wednesday being a hoIi-
dav. Senator Lodge promptly agreed 70
the suggestion, and the agreement was
ratified by the Senate. The whole matter
was harmoni0usly arranged. and there Is
no evidence that there will be any undue
delay in reaching a final vote after the
amendment shall have been disposed o.
Some Of the Senator's believe that the Da-
Wis amendment does not go far enough
IL provides that nothing in Ihe treaty
shall apply 10 measures which the Unit.
ed States may aisd IL necessary 20 take
for securing by its own forces the ie-
fease OF the United States and the main
tenanee OF public order" This amen J.
ment Is placed in the treaty ahead OF the
clause which stipulates that no fortiaea-
| tions shall be erected commanding the
canal or waters adjacent. which clause
therefore, remains unaffected Many Sen.
atOrs are in favor OF fortifications. but :,
/ has been shown that the Davis amend.
ment authorizes the defense OF the ca.
nal, and is thus sufficient 70 provid.
against any contingency which may arise
Senator Morgan in his speech vert over
he same ground covered by him on Thur
I day. saying he desired simply TO clear u
some misapprehension concerning his posi-
| ton
Senator Teller spoke about two hours
giving notice OF an amendment al the be.
ginning Of his address. The amendmen,
suggested relates 10 section OF article /:
of the treaty. AS that section now stands
Il reads as follows:
10 fortinnat1Bs shall he erected commanding ths
ssaa. OF the wGGsFE adjacent TAe uaitsa states.
