ALCOHOL INJURIOUS.
School superintendent Convention
Will So Declare To-Day.

CHICAGO, Feb. 27-School superintend-
ents of the United States will take sides
tomorrow on the alcohol question. Radi-
Gals will be arrayed against conservatives,
and the latter will win unless all signs fail.
The convention of the department of SUI
perintendence of the National Educational
Association will go on record, If the COM
mittee report is accepted, as favoring MOTH
ing more positive than a declaration that
alcohol is injurious. This will be the report
of the special committee of seven appointed
by the convention year ago. 1t was in
structed then to report on 1.-The condition
and progress Of scientific inquiry as TO the
action of alcohol on the human system
and to recommend what action, If any. by
this department is justified by the results
of these inquiries"
The committee finds and sets forth in its
report that, Whereas, some authorities
held that alcohol may serve as stay for
waste and be beneficial when used in very
limited quantities; and, whereas, other au-
thorities declare that it is in no sense n
food, the committee is constrained TO
recommend that no action be taken by the
body on this point. 1t further suggests
that the department should continue to
uphold the practice of teaching that alcohol
is injurious and that this feature be not
eliminated from the textbooks on phys
OlOgy."

ROW OVER RIPPER" BILL
SENSATIONAL INCIDENT IN THE
PENNSYLVANIA LEGISLATURE.
Members Dragged About the Hall and
Blows Struck-Speaker Unable
to Maintain Order.

HARRISBURG, Pa, Feb. 27.-The most
exciting scene ever witnessed in the hall
OF the House of Representatives occurred
at the close of the debate late tonight
on what is known as the Pittsburg rip
per" bill. The bill provides new charter
for the cities of Pittsburg. Allegheny and
Scranton and abolishes the office of mayor
and creates that of city recorder who
shall be appointed by the Governor The
opponents of the BILL among them a num-
Der of anti-Quay Republicans, contend
that the purpose of the bill is to give power
to the Republican machine in the cities
named and in the State. When Speaker
Marshall put the question of whether the
Ripper section (Which section abolishes
the present offices) shall pass, the oppon-
epts of the bill demanded a roll CALL
Mr.. Hosack. of Allegheny, who sat d.
rectly in front of the speakers desk, arose
to a question of personal privilege. Mean
time the clerk began calling the roll and
the speaker ruled the Allegheny member
out of order Mr.. Hosack insisted that he
had a right to be heard. and interrupted
the calling of the roll with loud cries of
Mr.. Speaker, Mr.. Speaker
Speaker Marshall finally directed the
member to take his seat, and wheG he
refused he called upon the sergeant-at-arms
TO restore order. Three assistant sergeants-
alarms seized Mr.. Hosack and violently
threw him into his seat. Instantly the
House was in an uproar and Mr.. Hosack' s
friends crowded around him to protect him
from the officers. a clerk caught Mr.
Coray, of Luzerne county, an opponent of
the bill. by the throat and attempted to
drag him from the hall. Several members
jumped upon the desks i'm the vicinity OF
MIR. Hosack's seat and demanded that the
officers release him.
Meanwhile Speaker Marshall was pound
ing with his gavel for order, but he could
not be heard above the din and confusion.
The officers released Mr. Hosack, and when
quiet was being restored a spectator who
had the privilege of the floor caused an
other outbreak by calling to the friends of
the Ripper 10 eject Mr.. Hosack from
the hall Several members resented this.
and attempted TO expel the spectator from
the chamber. Blows were struck and a
general scufile ensued. but the cool-headed
members quickly restored order. and the
clerk proceeded with the roll call without
interruption.
The Ripper section was adopted by a
vote or 10i 10 3d. after which the bill passed
a second reading. 1t will be taken up to-
morrow for third reading and final PAS
sage.

JURY BLAMES BOTH MEN
WARD AND JORDAN CHARGED WITH
WRECnING THE RIO.
Company Ccnsured for Having a Chi
Leading to the Verdict.

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 27.-The coroner's
jury had an inquest to-day over the eleven
bodies recovered from the wreck of the
steamer Rio de Janeiro. returning its YER
dict tonight. The jury charges Captain
Ward, who was drowned, and Pilot Jordan,
who was saved, with criminal negligence.
The Pacific Mail Steamship Company Is
censured for having had Chinese crew on
the steamer. Second officer Coghlin is
commended for heroic conduct in saving
lives.
In his testimony before the coroner
Pilot Jordan again shifted the respon-
sibility for the disaster to Captain
Ward, who went down with his vessel.
Pilot Jordan stated that it was a rule of
this port that all captains have power SUI
pre.ne to that Of the pilot, and that Captain
Ward had ordered him to proceed. Jordan
denied the statements of certain eye-wit-
nesses to the effect that the Chinese crew
had acted in a cowardiy manner. Jordan
stated that the work of the crew was sys-
tematic and orderly and that the loss OF
life was due to the inability of the passen-
gers and crew to realize their great danger
in time to make their escape from the ves-
sci.
Said Pilot Jordan: 1--WE were carried on
to the point by an unexpected swirl of the
tide that could not have been foreseen. /
blame the current and the improper signal
at Fort Point, which is bell you can't hear
any distance at all. The captain was anx-
ious to get in, as he was overdue. l could
see that he was anxious to get in, and was
anxious to please him. The captain himself
ordered up the anchor"
Second officer Coghlin said: ''The pilot
gave the order to heave up. When the men
had been heaving for a short time the
weather thickened and the captain ordered
the men to avast heaving. He then left
the bridge. He returned in few minutes.
The pilot then gave orders to heave up,
as coming from Captain Ward. 1t has been
my experience in entering the harbor that
the pilots issue the orders, though 1 would
not say that such orders are absolute"
