The Richmond Dispatch expresses the
hope that the Legislature will give the
Virginia people = sound, sensible practi-
cal law that will encourage. not discour-
age, the growth Of cities and towns"
Here, in Portsmouth. there is hearty
echo of that wish. Under the old order
of things an artificial check was put
upon the normal growth of this city.
At the present moment between eight and
ten thousand people are resident in the
immediate suburbs of Portsmouth. They
are in the enjoyment OF all the advan-
tages of city. but bear none of Its
burdens Living as they do under sys-
tenn OF county government, it is impos-
sible for the suburbanites to do for them
selves in the way OF sanitation and
other public bettermerts. as could and
would be- done for them as a part Of
the city. Hence 1t follows that the city
is the helpless victim of the bad or no
sanitation and Indifferent police system
of the suburbs -

Second Ere is lncendiarx.

Waterbury, Conn, Feb. A black
ened and smouldering mass of ruins
marks the main business section of the
city. There is very strong suspic-
ion that the fire which destroyed the
Scoyille house, burning thousands Of
dollars worth of furniture, appoint
ments and personal effects, and i'm
perilling many lives. was the work of
an incendiary. The fire came SO close
on the heels of the big conflagration

complete panic than the original fire
caused. Estimates by experts place
the total loss at close to $2,500,00O

THIS WEEK in CONGRESS.
oleomarsarlne Bill in House, Philip
pine Tariff Measure in Senate.

Oieomargarine Bill In House, Philip
pine Tariff Measure in Senate.
Washington, Feb. 3.-This promises
to be an interesting week in the house.
The oleomargarine bill has been made
special continuing order for today,
and after 1t is disposed of, which prob
ably will be tomorrow, the bill for the
repeal of the war revenue taxes will
follow. While both sides are unani-
nous in favor of the repeal of these
taxes, it is the intention of the Dem
ocrats to open up the whole tariff
question during the debate on this bill
and they will make strong fight for
ample time for discussion. The ques-
tion OF Cuban reciprocity is also likely
to be debated at length, as members on
both sides of the house are anxious to
define their position. The friends of
the oleomargarine bill have no doubt
of its passage. The bill is practically
the old Grout bill imposing tax of 10
cents pound on products colored in
imitation of butter and to make re-
tail dealers who color oleomargarine
subject to the same penalties as the
manufac acturers.
For the most part the senate will di-
vide its time this week between the
Philippine tariff bill and the bill in
creasing the salaries of members of
the federal Judiciary.
Today Senator Hale will report the
urgency deficiency bill and ask to have
| it considered tomorrow The amend
ments in this bill, providing for the
entertainment of Prince Henry and the
expenses of this country incident tc
the coronation, may lead to some dis
cussion, but no doubt is entertained
of the final favorable disposition oi

Many Towns Isolated.

Many Towns iSotdIeo.
London. Feb. 4.-Reports OF damage
caused by the wind and snow storms
on the continent and in Great Britain
continue to be received. Some of the
towns in northern Spain are Isolated
and fruit trees have been destroyed.
In Switzerland many villages are cut
off from communication. Telegraphic
communication with Italy has been
interrupted. There is now more snow
In Venice than at any time in the past
as years. The River Tiber rose 25
feet. The lower portion of Rome is
flooded, as well as the Forum, the
Pantheon and the Temple of Vesta.
The water of the Tiber is now reced-
ing. Several more wrecks off the Brit
ish and French coasts are reported
and the crews OF some of these vessels
have been lost. Numerous ships are
overdue. There are heavy SHOWS in
the northern part of Great Britain.

EXTRA IOWA, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY g. 1902. ST.

Hev. Samuel Cronin Welt of St.
Marks Evangelical Lutheran church
IN his sermon last night criticised Sc.
verely the woman, whom he held re-
sponsible for the whole affair. He
said: "The Biddles and Mrs. Soffel
made a vain flight from justice and
retribution swiftly came upon them.
The blindness and infatuation of this
woman in leaving her husband and
helpless little children for gang OF
desperadoes is the worst criminal act
thus far in the history of the Goth cen.
tury."

ment was as soon as the trio had
reached a place Of temporary safety,
they were to don the black robes and
wells as travelling Sisters of Mercy.
The thought that though the means
was death. she had assisted her lover
to escape the scaffold seemed to soothe
Mrs. Soffel's mind and wounds. She
remarked to the attendants in the hos
pital that she had accomplished her
purpose and was ready to meet her
fate.
Deny They Killed Men.
Rev. Father Walsh, who admins
tered to the Biddles in their dying
hours, in AN interview, said: Besides
the statements given out by the Biddle
boys to the newspapers and officers,
both Ed and Jack Biddls made confes
sions to. me. While ministering to
them almost every hour after they
were brought to jail, they often would
talk to me of how they were wrongly
accused of crimes. They denied posi-
lively that they KILLED Grocer Kahney
in Mount Washington, and Ed told me
in the most emphatic terms that he
did not shoot Detective Patrick Fitz.

man who rang the doorbell at genteel

"No, there is not" rather sharply

under control when the water mains

the fremen were compelled to stand
idly by and see the structure destroyed
The city is now without fire protection
except chemical engine, and factor

from the system. Much apprehension
exists and extra precautions have beer
taken to prevent fires.
