special Roberts committee has Just
taken vote on the report
Seven of the committee report in
favor Of his exclusion, and two In favor
of swearing him In and then expelling
him.
The minority report is signed by Lit

AS to the finding OF facts in the case
there is no division among the com

The report will be presented to the
House on Saturday.
There is much surprise expressed by
the members over the report OF the spe-

ton is freely made that the House will
establish a precedent that II will have
cause TO regret in years to come.
The majority report, which is now
being written by Chairman Tayler, will
contain practically everything he said
in his speech in support Of his resolu-
ton which was adopted by the House,
denying Robertss right TO be sworn in.

election was regular and that he COM

The designs have already been agreed
upon and contemplate a roadway sixty

come when the construction of such

has been suggested that the plan might
be more ornate in character.
The structure is estimated to have
on it about $1,OO0,0OO worth of statu-

expressed, adding very much to the
true artistic quality of the compost
ton; moreover, the points at which
the thrusts terminate are re-enforced
by masses of masonry built up int
monuments, which by their weigh
add to the stability of the structure.
The eight heroic groups placeU
against the archways are emblematic
of such subjects as patriotism, valor,
concord, etc., and will be groups of
great size and elaborate compositions,
and are to be executed in stone. The
spandrels of the arches will be fitted
with subjects emblematic of the army
and navy, etc. On the sides of the
towers will be shields and plaques in
scribed with names of battles, and the
whole will be crowned with bronze
victories heroic in size. The towers
will contain stairways or elevators adj
uniting people to the top over the arch
and in the rear of the balustrade.
The whole will form two triumphal
sarchways, deliberately ornamented and
rich in DETAIL although in perfect
harmony with the severity of the

were rounding Fire Island when a tree
mendous shark was seen to jump out
of the water near the stern of they
boat. Captain Ketchum rugged three
lines each as thick as an ordinary
clothesline, and baited the big hooks
with good-sized chunks Of pork, using
pieces of wood about the size Of
brick for floats. The women Of the
party did the fishing. Soon Mrs. Girls
void got bit so fierce that it almost
jerked her out of the boat. But she
held on, and with Captain Ketchum's
assistance commenced to haul in. She
had hooked a blue-nosed shark Of tree
mendous size, which struggled in vain
to free itself. Mate Howell grabbed
the handle of sweeping brush, to
which was attached large-sized knife
and when the shark had been. pulled
to the side of the boat he plunged it in
as far as it would go. This he did four
or five times. After a struggle of
nearly fifteen minutes the shark was
killed and lifted into the boat. Il
weighed 270 pounds. Mrs Rogers and
Mrs. Draper each succeeded in land,

was Mrs Griswold's. The fourth and

King Oscars Good Health.

The remarkable health and vigor OF
King Oscar of Sweden is the wonder
Of all his people. He has lately given
new proof of his great activity, in
spite of his seventy years. The great
review of the troops which took place.,
July 10 to 20, in aOstergotland, was
visited by the monarch. On a; Mon
day evening he left Stockholm, and ar
rived on the field Tuesday. At g
O'clock in the morning he was in the
saddle, and spent nearly the whole
morning on horseback, and personal
ly directed the sham battle. After
the exercises he criticised the move
ments, made a speech Of thanks to the
troops and went to lunch. In the aft
ernoon he reviewed the soldiers, and
in the evening went to dine at the
governors castle in Linkoping. He
left the castle at ii p. m.,i and did
not retire until late. The next morn
ing found him at his desk in Stock
holm palace, dispatching official bust
ness. and later holding council Of
state until late in the afternoon.

ment need not necessarily be given to
the bridge at the time of its construc-
ton, but could be added from time to
time in the future as historical events
or epochs in the history of the country
might require. ThS~a are many pedes-
tails along the entire course of the
structure which could receive from
time to time in the future statues Of
patriotic Americans, as was indicated
in the letter of transmission which ac-
companied the original plans. In. con-
nection with this entire matter of or
nate treatment it should be remem-
bered that the foundation elements of
the design for the best artistic results
must be simple and harmonious with
the structural elements OF design, and
the successful plans are pre-eminent
in this admirable kind of excellence.
A comprehensive examination of the
entire design shows that the compost
ton of the bridge as whole and in
its several parts is dictated by the re-
quirements of the problem and that it
is common sense solution, possessing
the essential qualities of good engin-
eering and architecture.
Masonry construction was chosen on
account of it's more monumental and
lasting qualities, and this necessitated
the arch motive. The portion over the
river proper requiring free passage for
the current. as well as for ice in the
winter, is of comparatively open con

The rapacity of Turkish officials OF

ing duty in kind is to be recorded. An
official Of the British embassy bought
in Paris a dress for his wife, for whicht
he paid f10. The customs officials
valued it at SEQ and demanded duty,
on that amount. The Englishman re-
fused, and, knowing the law, said they
might keep. the dress, paying him the
value they had fixed upon 1t, less the
3 per cent. This was done, and a
month later at the pubic auction OF
confiscated goods he, bought back the

nature to do evil which seemed to be
born in him, from the devils which
possessed him, as they possessed men
in the olden time; from the frightful
devil of unbelief, the worst of all which
haunted him.
But all his prayers had gone for
naught. The son-Henry Grosvenor
Barbour-had killed himself in circum-
stances which have few parallels. He
hao fired bullet into his brain through
the mouth, after killing, as he sup-
posed, the woman between whom and
him existed one of those strange, in
applicable passions which seem more
like madness than what they are called
love.

afflicted father to the police. Find
Helen Packers Forbes, the beautiful
adopted daughter of Bishop Southgate,
whom loved uearer than father, and
you will find my sons evil genius. You
will find the woman who can tell you
the reason why he slew himself. You
will find, believe, the woman who
accompanied him to that house of
death"
This clew led to the house of Miss
Forbes aunt, in Second place. There
it was found that the girl had been a
visitor, but had been taken away to the
Seney hospital. She had tottered home
after the shooting. Through her
breast was the path of the bullet. the
first one fired by Barbour in his mad
wish that they should die together.
By chance it was detected. and in
stead of penetrating the lungs or
reaching some vital organ it had gone
transversely, coming out at the right
side and leaving a painful, but by no
means deadly wound.

In early days Of California's history
it was a favorite amusement for young
men to wait for an unusually low tide
ana then pull boat through the arch.
So far as is known the first time this
feat was accomplished was in 1857,
when Capt. Frank Murphy, one of the
best known pilots of his day. rowed
small boat through. For few years
the daring trip was occasionally made
or attempted, but eventually a couple
OF young fellows, in trying to do the
trick, were dashed against the arch
by the heavy swell. The boat was
smashed and the young men lost their
lives. Since that time row boats have
given Arch rock a wide berth.

bore fruit. and now Arch rock must

contractors are working hard getting

sooner the work is done the sooner will
the government turn over the final

1T takes to get this money depends in
some degree their profit or loss. More
explosives will be used in blowing up
Arch rock than were necessary in the
case of the other two combined, but
no alarm is felt in San Francisco over
the coming blast. The more timid cit
liens there were much exercised pre-

head. The last bullet killed him, but
the first only injured his companion.
With Barbour dead by her side, Miss
Southgate was at once relieved from
the power of his influence, and wound-
