Washington, May 2a.--Soon after the
senate convened today, a resolution offered
by Mr. Hale OF Maine, was passed direct
ing the secretary Of the navy to furnish the
senate with detailed items under the head
THE pay of the navy"
Another resolution offered by Mr.. Hale
and adopted, called upon the secretary of
the navy for full information concerning
the depth of water at the Mare Island
navy yard, and whether first-class battle
ship ever had gone to the yard, and also as
to the depth of water at the Puget Sound
navy yards. .,a-.
Consideration of the Philippine govern
ment bill then was resumed, Mr.. Hoar adj
dressing the senate in opposition to the
policy manifested in the utterances Of the
Massachusetts senator. Mr.. Hoar spoke
deliberately and confined himself closely to
manuscript He maintained that this coun-
try is not at war.
Senator Hoar's Speech.
"You are fighting for sovereignty" he
said. "You are fighting for the principle
OF eternal dominion over that people, and
that is the only question in the conflict"
When it had been determined to resort
to force in the Philippines, he said, the
government took upon itself the natural
consequences of that decision. The result
of the conflict alarms of such a character
inevitably was that there should be cruelty
on one side and retaliation by cruelty on
the other, and the responsibility rested
upon those who made the policy.
Mr.. Hoar said he was to discuss and de-
nounce what seemed to him one of the.
most wicked and foolish chapters in his
tory; yet, he was compelled to admit hel
said, that the men who were responsible
for it were neither wicked nor foolish.
Mr.. Hoar said that the share which it
was proposed to give the Filipinos in the
proposed scheme of government was an

death in Silver Bow Junction Monday

Both revolvers were found in the idcnti-

County officials consider the finding of
the revolvers most important link in the

with truth the confession of Lennox.

PEOPLE OF FORT DE
FRANCE ARE EXCITED

SO badly that vessels broke from their
moorings.
Then long, rolling wave spread over
the front. 1t did little damage and the
sea again receded and left considerable
area OF the shore permanently uncovered.
At the same time the ash-rain became
twice as violent and pebbles fell.
They were followed by pieces of heavy
rock some of which weighed from three
to IA pounds each.
The panic-stricken people rushed out
OF their houses, some making for the
mountains in the interior of the island
and other seeking to escape on board the
shipping in the harbor.
Scene Of Confusion.
THE scene was one Of the widest con-
fusion. Whole families assembled on the
jetties and along the beach, nearly all
OF them falling on their knees and scream
ing forth appeals for boats to take them
to the steamers to which some of the men
swan off,
THE steamers at ST. Pierre kept a large
number of people on board until evening,
when the phenomena subsidized and most Of
the refugees were put ashore.
ON Tuesday steamers took away tho
destitute people who remained on board
and also a number of paying passen-
gers.
Three hunderd refugees were landed
here and 1900 were taken to the island
of Guadaloupe.
"The refugees who were landed at this
place had, as rule, nothing with them
but the clothes they wore when they left
Fort de France and they are now sup
ported by public funds or private sub
scriptions.'

eutive committee of three anthracite dis
tricts of the United Mine Workers held
short session this morning and took n
recess until afternoon. Nothing was
given out
Neither President Mitchell nor the COM
'nitteemen would say what matters would
be taken Up, but as the call for the pro-
posed special national convention has not
yet been issued it is believed by those
around strike headquarters that this will
be the principal thing that will engage the
attention Of the meeting.
President Mitchell confirmed the dis.
patch that the Michigan bitumnious dis
trict had consented to the call for a ma
tonal convention. Mr.. Mitchell was dis
inclined to talk on the proposition of call
ing out the engineers, frcmen and pump
men, unless they are given an eight hour
day at the present wages, except to say
that lie expects the mine owners to COM
ply with the demands of the union.
Inquiry at the Offices Of the big coal
companies here today, failed to elicit any
definite information as to how the oper-
ators will meet the latest demands of the
miners.

panies it was said no definite plan had

POLICE JUDGE BOYLE HEARS A
YOUNG WOMAN TELL OF HER
DREAMS AND THEIR END.
FROM THE STAGE TO THE
GALENA STREET RESORTS
Bids Her to Go and to Sin No More and
Adds It Is Pity Somebody Cannot
Take the Girl and Save Her From a
Life Of Shame-Irishman' Wit Is
Fruitless-Break Up Gang.

With tears streaming down her pale
cheeks, Nellie Valaney told the sad story
OF her life to Police Judge Boyle this morn
ing. She is scarcely a2 years old, and vet
during her brief career she has tasted the
bitter and the sweet--has fallen from the
walks OF lie where all was hope and sun
shine to the slums and disgrace.
ne girl is now an occupant of one of
the Galcna street resorts.
Three years ago she lived In beautiful
nome IN Chicago, surrounded by every com
Tort and with the love of happy family.
Truly truth is stranger than fiction"
was SO happy, SO happy, judge" sobbed
Nellie between her sobs.
But why did you leave your home, Mel
lie! asked Judge Boyle, his voice shaking
with emotion.
Went On the Stage.
Then followed the old story of mis-
placed trust, wild dream of life before
the iootlights, and subsequent disgrace.
Inc girl has not yet become hardened to
her lie. She has perfect features, soft,
sweet voice and an honest eye.
Judge Boyle's heart melted when he
heard the story, for the girl was sincere
and this was her first appearance in the
police court.
Nellie" said he, you are charged with
rur/;ng house of ill-repute, but you have
never given the police trouble before and
! am going to let you CO."
The girl thanked the judge warmly and
left the court room.
1T is pity that some one can't take
that girl and make something of her."
said Judge Boyle when court had ad.
journed. "She is not yet beyond being
reclaimed but if she stays in her present
calling much longer she will become too
hardened to be reasoned with. She evil
dently belonged to good family and is
willing to turn from her present ways

London, May 2a.--Thc concensus Of
opinion here is that all the signs are pro-

safed up to the present, thought it is in
timated that definite announcement of

speedily be expected.
The expression that peace is close at
