Washington, Dec. BIN anticipation
of the receipt of President Roosevelt's
first message to congress-. the
members of the senate assembled
early in the senate chamber and in
the cloakrooms adjoining. Many SEN
ators, particularly the close personal
and political friends of the president,
already were familiar with the princt-
pal features of the message, but the
reading of the first important state
paper of the president was marked by
unusual interest.
DESPITE the cold and penetrating
rain which fell throughout the morn

filled with interested spectators, many
of them having a special interest In
the message.
A communication was received from
the house informing the senate that
that body had been organized and was
ready to proceed with public business.
Senators Hale and Morgan reported
that they had waited upon the presl-
dent In conjunction with a ike conf
mittee of the house to inform MIN
that congress was prepared TO receive
any communication he might nave 10
make, and the president said he would
communicate with congress at once In
writing. Major o. 1. Pruden, assist
ant secretary to the president, then
was recognized and presented the mes
sage of the president, the reading OF
which was begun at once by Henry M.
Rose. chief clerk. Close attention was
given to the reading of the message
by all senators, the majority OF whom
followed the reading from the print
ed copies of the message distributed
among them.
The reading OF the message con-
sumed two hours and 10 minutes.
When 1t was completed, Mr.. Foraker
was recognized to offer the following
resolution, for which he asked imme-
diate considerations:
"That a committee of IL senators be
appointed on the part of the senate to

nation to the tragic death of the late
President Mckinley and that so much
of the message of the president as re-
lates to that deplorable event, be re-
ferred to such committee" The reso-
luton was adopted and then as a
further mark of respect to the mem

Operating officials of the various
roads stand aghast at the great in
crease that has of late taken place
in the cost of railroad equipment.
One of the foremost of them in
this matter said that an engine
which between 1893 and 1897 cost
from $4,000 to $4,000 would now
cost 5000, and recent improve
ments swelled the cost of the high
est type of passenger and freight
locomotives to $4,000 or $1,000.
Coming to passenger equipment,
the baggage car of the present day
costs 5000 more than in the period
named above, and the coaches 5000
and $500 more; dining oars, parlor
cars, sleeping cars, $3.50 to $500,
more, and freight car, which for.
merly cost $500 to 5000, now costs
from $500 to $1,000.

RAsHNEsS PUNISHED

Reports vary somewhat as to the
first causes of the tragedy which took
place in Westmoreland County, Va,
last week It is said, however, that the
trouble arose from a scandal IN which
some young Virginians found a pre-
text to march upon the house occupied
by Herbert Marx of Brooklyn. with the
intention Of chastising him. It appears
that the story was spread abroad
through country store gossip. 1t was
to the effect that Marx. who according
10 all reports had been a very we'll
haved youth, had insulted g young
woman Of the neighborhood. A rela-
tive Of the girl took it upon himself
to punish the Northerner for the sup
posed affront and therefore, enlisting
the aid of several of his friends, went
TO Marks home and tried to break in
TO the house. The result was a deter
mined resistance on the part of Marx,
who shot three Of the men, supposing
that they were burglars. Then he
discovered that the man whom he had
instantly killed was his near neighbor
and frequent companion, and that the
two he had wounded were very wei

Where it Hurts

If a nO-license vote prevails in WOr-
cester at the coming election, and no
liquor license money is added to the
city's revenues and an era of economy
at the City Hall is the result, the eff
feet will be along certain lines If loss
of the liquor license fees causes lack of
money to pay for certain city work, the
big-salaried officers in the City Hall will
have no fear of suffering. Their time
and their pay will run on as before.
They may even be at ease with the
thought of less to do in their coy Of
fees, because the force of laborers in
their department is to be made re-
duced in numbers. 1t is where the blow
can with the least good grace be borne:
where it will strike the hardest and
hurt the most, that it will fall Loss of
city work because of lack Of money
from a no-license decision would have
a widespread influence. To force the
prospect of an economy which would
cut off the wage-earning chances Of 400
or 500 men would be a serious affair
The landlords Of these men, and the
various tradesmen who supply the
wants Of the men and those of their
families, would be affected. The healthy
flow of a large sum of money would be
checked. Extra appeals for city re-
lief might be forced. Men in idleness
would be subjected to special tempta-
lions of the low drinking places certain
to exist during a no-license period. A
train of evils instantly demoralizing
and of far-reaching danger would fol-
low. The goodly sum of $145, 917.75 was
this year brought to the City Treasury
by the liquor license fees. A no-license
vote at the coming election might cut
more than that sum from the city's
revenues and cause the evils of loss of
work and wages which have been
noted. A Yes vote puts at rest fears
of such evils.-Advt.

known to him. Indeed, he had counted
them among his friends. One Of the
wounded men died almost Immediately
and the other died Friday.
Marx gave himself up to the author
tiles, and the coroner investigated the
tragedy. Marx himself testified that
he had no idea as to the identity of
his assailants at the time he shot. One
of the men of the attacking party who
escaped without injury testified that no
information had been given to Marx
as to- the object of the nocturnal visit.
Marx said that he had never treated
the young woman in question otherwise
than respectfully. The country people
took a very liberal view Of the affair.
They declared that Marx had done
quite right in shooting and that he
simply defended himself in a manly
and spirited manner. The coroneTs
jury exonerated Marx from any blame
whatever, and the young man, released
from custody, left for the North quite
overcome by his terrible experience.
Possibly the details of the affair are
not correctly understood but they are
sufficiently complete to show that there
was no excuse whatever for the attack
upon Marx. Even had the Northerner
misbehaved himself, the friends Of the
young woman had no legitimate ex-
cuse for their conduct One or two of
them might have gone to Marx and de-
manded an explanation. If Marx had
failed to give it, and in consequence
had received a thrashing at the hands
of one of the friends of the young
woman, the proceeding would not have
called forth any censure. But 1t was
cowardly for the young men to go to
the house at night without having Civ
en- any intimation as to their purpose.
1t was particularly culpable, because
the men had not even taken pains to
prove the correctness of the story, but
had been content to- seize upon vul-
gar gossip and to honor it as truth.
Rarely has story of greater rashness
and ot-headed foolishness come to
light The result was sufficiently ter
rible to make a lasting impression in
the neighborhood where the tragedy
happened.
