FACES EATEN AWAY BY FISHES.
MYSTERY SURROUNDS TWO BODIES IN THE
BROOKLYN MORGUE.

There are two bodies in the Brooklyn Morgue
over the identification of which the police will
probably have difficult task. One is the body
of a well dressed woman the other of with
no clothing except shoes and stockings. In both
cases the heads are so badly eaten away by the
fish as to render it impossible to make identi-
ication from the features.
The body of the woman, which is badly decom-
posed. and had evidently been in the water four
or five weeks was found at the end of the long
dock at Conover-st., yesterday morning. The
womans face is entirely gone. and parts of
her feet and hands. A heavy mass of light
brown hair still clings to the skull. AS near as
be judged, the about thirty
years old. weighed 40 pounds, and was five
feet four inches in height She dressed in
a tailor made suit of fashionable cut and
terial the latter a dark blue green The
jacket is trimmed with gilt buttons and gilt
braid. A black silk waist with peats. is circled
at the bottom with black velvet belt, studded
with gilded eagles heads 1t is fastened in
what is known as pulley fashion. The adjuster
in the back is marked Koch & Sons, New
York" The stockings were black Isle thread
with open work, and the shoes were Of the high
laced variety of patent leather, with French
heels. white linen collar of the "B. B." brand
had laundry mark consisting OF a spear head
followed by the number 312. black silk neck
tie has red stripes. on the hands were black kid
gloves.
From the fact that there clothing on
the body of the man. except shoes and stock
ires and the ankle band Of one drawer leg, the
police seem to think that there might have been
foul play. The flesh of the head is entirely
gone, and the skull itself hangs by only small
muscle. The flesh of the trunk Is in excel
lent state of preservation, seeming to indicate
that the body had not been in the water more
than five or six days. The fact that a portion
Of the drawers found under one of the
stockings leads to the belief that the clothes
must have been cut or torn off. There seem to
be marks whatever which might lead to an
Identification. The body was washed up on the
shore at Brighton Beach about midnight on
Wednesday, and turned over to the police
by the shore patrol

The wondrous popularity of baseball was again
Illustrated yesterday when between thirty Thousand
and forty thousand people witnessed the paseoaH
games at the Polo Grounds and at washington
Park. 1t is a record attendance for recent years
and such a throng In weather which Indicated that
it might rain at any minute made the outpour-
ing the more remarkable. New-York won ana Iost
and the Brooklyn champions did likewise
The recent good work of the New-forK team
caused the turnstles to click right merriy at the
Polo Grounds, and every inch of available space
of ground at the foot of Coogans Blum was oc-
cupied by ardent followers of the national game
1t recalled the old days before Tammany Han
methods were introduced into professional base
ball in this city.
The afternoon game like that in the morning
proved to be one of the best of the season. The
management placed the attendance at Beo' and
ground rules had to be made. Denzer and Powell
were the pitchers, and both held the batsmen IN
good shape New-York made two runs in the open
ing inning two more in the third and one In
the fifth St Louis made three in the third and
two in the sixth. The onlookers were worked up 10

advisable TO call upon Matthewson. who pitched

EFFECT OF INsULAR DECISIONS.
SENATOR HARRIS. OF KANSAS. DISCUSSES
LEGAL PROBLEMS IN THE PHILIPPINES.
[BY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNBl

Washington. May S0.-Discussing the applicability
Of the recent decisions OF the Supreme Court TO
the situation in the Philippines. Senator Harris, Of
Kansas, a leading Western Populist, said to-day:
There is a vast difference between the Porto Rican

to institute civil government in the philippines

dent in connection with the government or the

question whether the President can be legally
clothed with certain authority relating to the i'm
position and collection of such taxes The Spooner
legislative power upon the President, but II Is a
very doubtful question whether the power of taxa
uon can be conveyed in such a manner:
Then the subject of military control also enters
into the question, far the Philippines are con-

to be somewhat nebulouS l have not been aDle 10

prevails just how far the civil authorities have
taken hold. There doubt of the fact, however,
that long the military powers control the ISL

tenn of taxation. The Supreme Court on MONDAY, IN
authority was clothed with that authority in the
island. In my judgment. If il is assumed that the

the legality of the tariff duties which have thus
far been levied and collected: But If authority mas
passed beyond the control OF the War Department

by Congress would be necessary in the near future

CHICAGO MACHINISTS TO STRIKE.
WHETHER OR NOT THEIR GOING OUT WILL IN
voLvE OTHER TRADES is UNCERTAIN.

Chicago May 30.-"If to-day not holiday
the machinsts strike would be in full blast before
the manufacturers had eaten their morning meal"
said the business agent, Mr.. Roderck, of District
No. s of the international Association of Machn-
lists. It is regarded advantage by the union
that they have a holiday preceding the strike.
all the workmen can be rounded up in the in
terval of day, that the tie-up of the local
machinery plants Will be made practically complete
tomorrow morning.
According to the calculation of the union strike
leader Roderick about two thousand machinsts
will be involved the start in the general walk
out. This Is only half the number of union ma
chinists in Chicago and its vicinity. 1t is claimed
by Roderick and others of the unions executive
board that the reason the other two thousand will
not be affected is because their employers have
either signed the union scale of wages already or
EXPRESSED their willingness TO sign.
Whether or not the strike of the machinSts Will
involve other lines of labor at the plants where
strikes go into is uncertain. All along IL has
been asserted by the union machinists that strike
nv them would result in the complete tie-up of
every foundry workshop under the ban of their
strike order. If these claims made good the
general strike declared would throw perhaps
TWENTY-FIVE thousand thirty thousand men out Of
employment in Chicago as that is the total num-
her estimated in the employment of the local manu-
facturers who have membership in the National
Metal Trades Association.
