that 1t would be bad politics on the part OF
past masters in the political trade.
TO my mind Sc ID he. the less the
Administration fools with this bill the
better for Mr. Mckinley and his party.
The scandal over Hanna's bill has made .
bad record for the Republican officials and
to call an extra session would be an open
attempt to betray the people. Mr.. Hanna's
intense personal interest in the scheme
shows the attitude of the Administration.
The bill is an Administration measure and
is an unnecessary scheme to enrich those
who have commended themselves to the
Republican organization 1t is corrupt
bill and an extravagant one. At best it is
a lavish gift OF public money under false
pretences to men already rich.
ITO call an extra session with this bill
as an object will make the best kind OF
campaign material for the Democrats in
1902. and we should find Democratic. ma
iority in the House as direct result
While the President is said to be
averse to an extra session II it can he
avoided. it is believed that he has come
TO see that it is necessary if the Admin
istration measures are to be put through.
Mr.. Mckinley, so those state who are in
a position to know, is not entirely sa is
fed with the progress thus far made with
the work before Congress. Every ne
knows that if Senator Hanna desires to
have an extra session to pass the Sub
sidy bill that a means will be found 10
call Congress together, and it is believed
that some of the imperative bills will still
be unacted upon at the close of this ses-
sion. to give good excuse for Immediate
ly calling an extra session. While no de-
cision has yet been reached. it is well
known that the question has been under
consideration, and that the developments
shortly after Congress reassembles will
finally determine the matter

AN ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.
George Weaver shoots Himself in
His Right Ear.

George L. Weaver, colGred, about fifty
five years of age. attempted to end his life
yesterday afternoon shortly before 4
O'Clock by shooting himself in the head
with a revolver. Weaver lives on
Eighteenth Street northwest. Instead of
getting up yesterday morning as usual.
Weaver remained in bed until about 4
o'clock. Nothing was thought of the
matter by the members of his family
until the report of a revolver came from
the room where Weaver slept When
the family reached the bedside they found
Weaver bleeding from a wound in his
right ear The police were at once noti-
fed and the man was removed to the
Emergency Hospital.
While the physicians We're examining
the wound, Weaver muttered: 1T only
went short distance into my head. but
/ wish it had gone clear through"
Beyond this. he would say nothing re-
gacding the motive for the deed. The
inner part of the ear was badly burned
and torn. but IL il expected that the pa
tient will recover From the nature of
the wound the physicians are of the
opinion that the wouldbe suicide placed
the muzzle of the revolver in his ear be-
fore pulling the trigger. Dependency is
supposed to have led to the aG;empt at
seIf-destruction.

MOTIVE FOR KILLING MORRIS
The Tippecnnoe Club, of Cleveland
to Make m Inyestigation

CLEVELAND. Ohio, Dec. 27.-The Tip
pecanoe Club of this city. by all odds the
strongest Republican club in the State of
Ohio, decided tonight. at a meeting cai'ed
for the purpose OF taking action on the
death of the late Frank H. Morris, Chief
Auditor Of the War Department, who was
murdered last week, to investigate the
cause that led TO his death.
The idea of the club members is that
Mr.. Morris was victim of his endeavors
TO make the employees under him yield some
return to the Government for the salaries
they drew. The club believes that the de-
partments at Washington are filled with
barnacles, whose maximum labor a day
does not exceed two hours. and that in this
way the Government is defrauded of vast
sums of money.
The Tippecanoe Club believes that an ex-
posure of the real condition of affairs there
will bring about remedy At all events
the club of which Mr.. Morris was always an
active member. and at one time president
intends to have vengeance for Mr.. Morris
death.

PREPARING THE EVIDENCE.
Witnesses OF the Morris Killing Be.
fore the District Attorney.

District Attorney Thomas H. Anderson
has begun an examination of the testi-
mony which will be presented TO the
grand jury in the case of Samuel Nc
Donald who shot and killed Frank H.
Morris on Saturday last Several of the
most important witnesses in the case were
a day or two ago summoned to the Dis
triot Attorneys office and there made
statements to Assistant District Attor-
ney Thomas C. Taylor and Harry Bing-
ham as to what they knew of the circum-
stances connected with the death of Mr.
