I'm the senate.

" A11SiSo VII, octl1. LIZ CONSIDERABLE
progress was made yesterday by the
senate with the army reorganization
bill, but the final vote upon the meas
ure seems to be as far off as ever
Yesterdays proceedings were cfarac-
terized by several sharp colloquies
some of which were of a decidedly
personal character.
An appeal was presented by Mr.
Teller of Colorado from more than
1000 persons in Manila urging the
United States government to cease it's
operations against the Filipinos. The
appeal is sensational in its statements
and so unusual in form that Mr.. Haw-
ley of Connecticut made a vigorous
objection to its publication as docu-
ment. He declared that it was a, trea-
sonable denunciation of the govern
ment and an attack upon our soldiers.
Consideration was concluded of the
committee amendments to the army
reorganization bill and the senate took
up the amendments proposed by indi-
vfdual senator's. The amendments
providing for the appointment of Gem
erals James Wilson, Fitzhugh Lee and
Shafter to be major generals Of the
regular army and retired, precipitated
an extended and, on the part of Mr..
Pettigrew, bitter debate. The amend,
ment prevailed, however, despite the
opposition.
In the House.
The general debate on the river and
harbor bill continued in the house
yesterday until 4 o'clock, when the
death of Representative Clark of New
Hampshire was announced and the
house adjourned out of respect to his
memory. The features of the debate
Washington and Mr.. Hepburn of Iowa
The latter has been persistent op-
ponent of the river and harbor bills
for years, and he attacked the bill all
along the line in his usually vigorous
fashion. Mr.. Cushman's speech was
unique in many particulars. He was
in favor of river and harbor appropria-
tions, and his complaint was due to
the fact that the members of the COM
mittee, according to his ideas. had To-
Gated the bulk Of the appropriations In
their own states and had given scant
consideration to the needs of other
subsequently, to the Seattle ship
canal in his own state. Mr.. Cushman
Illustrated his remarks with series Of
carefully prepared charts. He criti-
cised several of the individual MEM
bers. of congress in breezy style and
became engaged in half a dozen very
spirited encounters before he con-
Guided. Members crowded about the
area in front of the speakers desk
where he stood explaining the figures
upon the charts and every one seemed
to eLjoy the picturesque performance
immensely When he wound up with
a glowing appeal for justice to the Sc
attic project he got a stirring round Of
applause.

In the senate.
A notable speech was delivered in
the senate by Mr.. Lodge Of Massachu-
sets. Addressing the senate on the
amendment of the military committee
striking out the provision in the army
reorganization bill for veterinary
corpse, he discussed briefly, principally
IN the form of colloquy with Senator
Bacon of Georgia, the Philippine ques-
ton and the necessity for an army Of
100000 men. In conclusion he drew a
brilliant word picture of the future Of
the United States, declaring that the
trade conflict with Europe already be-
gun, could result only in the commer-
cial and economic supremacy of this
country over the entire world. In this
Industrial conflict he apprehended no
danger from material contest with
any nation of the world, but he urged
the necessity for a strong and scien-
ttf1cally organized army and a powerful
navy in order that the United States
might be prepared to defend its rights
against any possible foe. The speech
created profound impression.
During the afternoon the senate rati-
fed the committees proposition to
eliminate the house provision for the
establishment Of a veterinary corps in
the army. Senator Teller of Colorado
gave notice of a substitute he will Of

The house considered the river and
harbor appropriation bill. Little
progress was made. In bill carrying
such a vast sum for local improve
ments many localities are bound to be
disappointed and there is generally
soreness among the members who fail
to get what they want. This soreness
.outcropped in several places yesterday,
the disappointed members refusing to
allow any limit to be placed on the
general debate. It extended through
out the day, being seemingly no nearer
conclusion at adjournment than
when it started. Mr.. Burton, chairman
of the committee on rivers and harbors,
who is in charge OF the bill, made an
elaborate explanation of its provisions.
Several Western members assai1ed it
for not containing provisions for irri-
CATION reservoirs, and Mr.. Corliss of
Michigan attacked it for not giving
proper recognition to the great lakes
deep waterway project.

POISON IN HIS DINNER.
l.. s. Price Has Negro Arrested for
Attempt nt Poisoning.

Jake Reed, colored was arrested yes
terday by Detective J. j. Murphy at the
request of l.. S. Price, No. 400 West Broad
street, who charges the prisoner with at
tempting to kill him by putting poison
in his food.
Reed is a driver for Mr.. Price and has
held that position for some time. Also
he has been accustomed to carry his en-
ployer's meals to him. Yesterday when
Mr.. Prices dinner came ne accidentally
spilled some soup on piece of bread and
attempting to eat the bread found that
1t had a most peculiar taste and burned
his mouth as though it had some sort
of acid on 1t. The remainder of the meal
appeared to be all right. however, and
that was eaten but when the diner be-
gan to drink some ice tea he found the
same trouble that he had with the soup
Reeds recent behavior, which has been
of a most impertinent nature, led Mr.
Price to think that he had tried to poison
him, and so he notified the police de-
partment and had the man arrested. The
tea and the soup have been sent to a
chemist to be analysed.
Reed was seen at the barracks last
night by a Morning News reporter, and
Indignantly denied the charge of attempt
ing to administer. poison. He says that
he has never had any trouble with Mr.
Price and can't imagine why he should
be arrested.

Gone to Sand Fly to Hunt the Muir
derer.
While sitting in church praying Hen
derson Frazer, colored. was shot from
ambush and instantly killed at Sand Fly
Station last night. Two bullets were fired
from the darkness by an unknown assas-
sin. and Frazer dropped to the floor a
corpse. bullet passed through his heart
and he never spoke after the shots were
fired
Frazer was a relgiously inclined negro,
and it had been his custom to attend SER
vices at the little church about 200 yards
from the station. He left his home as
usual last night for the purpose of at
tending prayer meeting, and far as is
known, had no difficulty with anyone be-
fore he reached the church.
The church was quite warm and Frazer
sat near a window. As was his custom he
took an active part in the service. The
service had almost closed when fash
of fire was noticed through the window
at which Frazer sat, and at the same in
slant there were two reports. The first
bullet whistled through the church and
embedded itself in the wall on the oppo-
site side where Frazer sat.
The second bullet entered the man s
heart. As Frazer fell to the floor a sound
was heard in the bushes and a dark figure
stole away from the place. Those in the
church were almost panic stricken and
gave no thought to the murderer. They
rushed to Frazers side, but he was al
ready dead, and his life blood was spat-
tered over the book which he had held in
his hand moment before.
The negroes were almost afraid to go
into the darkness and some of them ex-
pected to be shot down the next moment.
In the meantime the murderer had made
his escape. Those in the church left
the dead body and went to the station
short distance away.
Little more than ten minutes after the
shooting car No. los from Isle of Hope
was stopped and the homicide was re-
ported to Conductor H. ]. Mason. There
were over hundred passengers on the
two cars and they heard the story of
the killing as told by the excited ne
groes, but no one expressed any desire
to get off and help run down the MUIR
derer. The negroes appeared frighten-
ed and no one could be found who had any
idea as to who did the shooting Neither
did they show any disposition to search
for the slayer of Frazer, until the afri-
val of the officers.
Motorman J. S. Pridging made record
breaking time in coming to the city and
the tragedy was reported at once to po-
lice headquarters by Conductor Mason.
Desk Sergeant Baughn took the report,
and Immediately notified the county au
| thorities. The homicide had not occurred
within the bailiwick of Supt Reilly and
the detectives were not notified.
Chief Deputy Sweeney and Deputy Har-
tigan secured the wagon used by the city
detectives and left at once for the scene
OF the killing. The officers who heard
the story are of the opinion that they
viii be able to obtain some clue.
