part Of the extra months salary voted

MoToRMAN DROPS DEAD.
Narrow Escape of Car Full Of Pas
sengers in Chicago.


CHICAGO. June 14.-With the motor
man dead on the front platform, an
Indiana Avenue electric car. crowded
with passengers, shot across the rail-
road tracks at Fortieth street Just
ahead of freight train late last night,
and for three blocks ran at full speed,
with no one at the controlling lever
The motorman, H. A. Morgan, had
fallen helpless of heart disease, but
the passengers did not realize their
danger until after it was over and the
car had been stopped by the conductor.
As the car approached the railroad
crossing the conductor heard the sound
Of an approaching train. Looking down
ahead he saw by the signal lights that
the gates were down. AS the car failed
to stop he pulled the bell rope and
shouted to the motorman. He received
no answer. The watchman at the
crossing thinking that the motorrnan
had lost control Of his car, raised the
gates in hopes that the car would cross
the tracks before the locomotive could
dispute the right Of way His calcu-
lations were right, for the car Just
managed to clear the crossing in safety.
The glaring light from the engines
headlight swept across the faces Of the
passengers and the unusual jarring in
crossing the railroad tracks caused a
panic in the car. AS soon as the eros
sing had been passed the conductor
rushed to the front Of the car where
he shut oft the current and found the
motorman lying dead on the platform.

New York, December 9.-Wu Ting Fang the Chinese minister spoke before the Society of Ethical Culture at Carnegie Music Hall on "The Teachings of Con- fuscius." MT. Wu said in part:
 Tn the strictest sense of the word Con- fuscianism is not a religion. It is not system of doctrine and worship. It is per haps easier to say what Confuscianism is not than what 1t is.
 ''The immortality of the soul Is a beauti- full doctrine, I admit. I wish 1t were true, and hope it is true. But all the reasoning of Plato cannot make it more than strong probability. And all the light of modern science has not brought us one step further Now, Confuscius would be called an agnostic if he were alive today. There were four things that he would not talk a things, feats of strength, disorder and spiritual being. How are we to serve spiritual being? He was asked, when you do not know how to serve men, how should you hope to serve spiritsT rorace Greedy said that those who dis charge promptly and faithfully their duty to those who lirvger in the flesh have. but little time to peer into the affairs of those who have passed away. Confuscius was intensely human and practical. He did not spend time speculating as to what will hap

 'The most striking instance in which the teachings of Confusclus and Christ meet is the golden rule. Confuscus puts II nega- lively to be sure. Do not do to others what you would not wish them to do to you,' but any one who will follow that rule either way will be a thoroughly good man.

the subsidy bill and it is expected that most, if not all, of them will be made this week. Among those who will probably speak on the subject, are Senators Clay, Vest and Berry, all of whom oppose the bill. Senator Vest is an especial advocate of free ships.
 There are differences of opinion as to what effect the taking of a vote on the fortifcation amendment to the Hay Pauncefote treaty will have upon the time of disposing of that instrument, but ma jority of the Senators express the opinion that the vote upon the treaty itself will follow very soon after the vote upon the amendemnt. The indications are that the amendment will be adopted and that as thus amended, the treaty will be referred Opponents CT the treaty will offer other amendemnts, but they do not count upon having them favorably acted upon.
 The Senate will not sit Wednesday on ac- count of tho centennial celebration of the establishment of the seat.of government at Washington and there is a possibility of adjourning from Thursday until Monday of next week.
