PRESIDENT FRYE EXPLAINS.
Tells Why He Ordered Names Re-
stored and Apologies to Senator


Washington, Feb. 27.-As soon as
the Senate had been called to order
to-day Mr.. Frye, the president pro
tenn, said that by his direction on last
Monday the clerk had not called the
names of the two senators from South
Carolina, they being in contempt of
the body. On Tuesday. he said, he
had directed the clerk to restore the
names to the roll in the event of a
roll call. He had done this, not be-
cause he doubted the propriety of his
action on Monday, but because a very
grave ques ton wis involved which he
desired to submit to the Senate itself.
Mr.. Frye said that the senator from
Washington (Mr Tumer) had taken
an appeal from the decision of the
chair on Monday, but that amid the
cloud of points of order and objections,
he had overlooked the appeal and
had proceeded with other business.
The chair, Mr.. Frye continued, forgot
the appeal for the moment, and for
hiss forgetfulness he begged the par
don of the senator from Washington
Had he done such a thing wilfully, he
said. he could never have forgiven
himself.
The chair, he said, had received a
letter from the senior senator from
South Carolina (Mr. Tillman), request
ing that he be heard on the question of
highest privilege. The chair could not
entertain such a. request in the cir
cumstances without the unanimous
consent of the Senate, but at the prop
er time-perhaps to-morrow-such re-
quest might be entertained.
Mr.. Turner called attention to the
fact that he had asked that the pro-
test of the senior senator from South
Carolina be spread upon the minutes.
He had desired, he said, to insist upon
this request on Monday, but had been
cut off by points of order and by a
motion that the Senate go into execu-
tive session. Since that time two adj
journments of the Senate had inter-
fered with the performance of his duty
Mr.. Turner maintained that the filing
officially of such protests was in ac-
cordance with the custom of the Brit
ish Parliament, and with the best par
liamentary practice of this country
upon any question involving a consti-
tutional privilege.
The senator is right" said the chair,
and the protest will be spread upon
the minutes without objection"
1t was so ordered.
Mr.. Burrows of Michigan, chairman
OF the COMMITTEE on Privileges and
Elections, said that at the proper time
an opportunity might be afforded the
senior senator from South Carolina to
make his statement of privilege, but
Just now he felt costrained to object.
Mr.. Hoar suggested that the protest
spread upon the minutes be referred to
the Committee on Privileges and Elec-
lions.
Il have no objection" said Mr.. Tur-
ner.
Mr.. Bacon of Georgia said it occurred
to him that the protest was not a mat
ter of further action by the Senate. 1t
certainly was a question of too great
importance to dispose of hastily.
Mr.. Hoar contended that the protest
was in the nature of a petition and
ought, therefore, to be referred to a
committee. Such action was entirely
respectful. He did not insist upon his
suggestion, however, i'm view of the
doubt in Mr. Bacon's mind.
The Senate then adjourned.

MAD LOVE ENDS IN DEATH.
William Rinard Kills woman He
Worshipped, Then Himself.

Worshipped, Then Himself.
Pittsburg, Feb. 27-The mad infatu-
alton of a married man for a woman
other than his wife, which has been
on for several months, ended at IL
o'clock this morning In a house Here,
when William A. Rinard. steel blow
er of the converting mill at the Edgar
Thomson Works, and one of the best
known men in Braddock, shot and
killed Margaret Lambert, or Wilbert,
formerly of London. England. A sec
ond or so later Rinard placed the re-
volver to his own head and killed him
self
The story of the events leading up to
the shooting reads almost like a play
of the most degraded type. Rinard
was the son of prominent real estate
and insurance man of Braddock and
up to last Christmas ne stood high in
the community. About that time he
met the Wilbert woman and his infat-
uation for her made him neglect his
young wife and child.
Rinard warned Mrs. Wilbert last
night as she was going out that II
she did not return at once he would
shoot her. She refused to obey him
This morning Rinard called Mrs. Will
bert to the parlor and almost imme-
diately afterward five shots were heard.
The woman was found lying in the
center of the room with a bullet hole
in the head, and another under her
heart. Rinard was near the fireplace
with large ragged bullet wound
through his head. Both were dead.

RICE MAY HAVE BEEN DEAD.
Jones Uncertain whether He Killed
the Millionaire.

New York, Feb 27-In the trial of
Albert 7. Patrick, accused of the MUIR
der of William M. Rice, the cross-ex-
animation of Charles F. Jones, who was
Rice's secretary and personal attend
ant, was continued
Mr.. Moore went back to the different
statements made by Jones and then
asked if he did not make them with
the object of protecting himself and
II he had not been afraid of the truth
IN his former statements. Jones replied
that at first he did not think the truth
would help him, but he said that fact
had been impressed upon him very
forcibly.
Mr.. Moore then questioned Jones
about Mr.. Rice's condition the day
before his death. Mr. Rice was very
weak, Jones said, and was "out of his
head" at intervals all that day.
You never saw Mr.. Rice awake
after he went to sleep on Sunday at 4
o'clock" Mr.. Moore asked.
Not awake"
You went out for a walk. YOU have
told us?''
Yes. L was away about forty min
utes.'
Mr.. Rice was in the same
position when you returned
as he was when you left the apart
ment ?"
He was"
Then as far as you know, Mr.. Rice
may have been dead when you re-
turned?"
Welb | thought he was asleep
Mr.. Moore read from Jones testi-
mony before Justice Jerome. There he
replied to a like question of counsel, Il
Just opened the door and looked in
Mr. Rice was lying quietly. He may
have been dead
Jones said DIR. Curry told him the
dav Rice died that the old man was
in critical condition.
The cross-questioning ended here and
Mr.. Osborne began a redirect exami-
nation.
Mr.. Osborne tried to recall certain
incidents of the interview to the recol-
lection of the witness. Mr.. Moore OBJ
Jected to his questions as leading. IT
am on trial here" the assistant district
attorney declared. THE accusation is
made that l supplied Jones with a
story that l could not corroborate. I
wish to show that the charge is false"
Jones was allowed to answer. He
declared that all that Mr.. Osborne had
asked from him was the truth.

WANT UNIFORM SCHEDULES.
Engineers Will Seek Adoption or
Standard Rules by All Railroads,
Says Chief Arthur

Denison, Tex, Feb. 27.-The session
of the Brotherhood of Locomotive En-
gineers to-day was held behind closed
doris. Grand Chief Arthur stated that
there was a wrong impression as to
the character of the meeting. The BIZ
ennial meeting Of the order takes place
in May. when there will probably be
some action taken for uniform sched-
ules, and the adoption of standard
rules for all the railroads In the United
States will be asked. These matters
come up for informal discussion to
get the idea of men along the lines
centering here. Chief Arthur said:
THE meeting being held is to dis
cuss matters of interest to the mem
bers OF the order. and TO have an in
terchange of ideas among the sub-di-
visions of such things as concern them
and are for the good of the order"

AT WASHINGT0N'S TOMB.
Henry of Prussia Visits Mount Ver-
mons sacred Shades.

Washington, Feb. 27.-Prince Henry
of Prussia journeyed TO Mount Vernon
this afternoon and placed two wreaths
in the tomb of Washington. He APP
preached the grave of the first Presi-
dent with barred head, and that there
might be nothing irreverent in the
ceremony, asked the holders of a dozen
cameras who stood around to refrain
from photographing him.
Prince Henry walked to the Wash
ington home and was driven from
there down over the slope of the hill
to the tomb. When the iron gate OF
the tomb was opened he removed his
cap and entered. Two large wreaths,
made at Washington by his order, had
already been sent to the tomb and,
taking them up he formally set them
in place.
Fifty feet down the sward that falls
away from the tomb, Prince Henry
planted a linden tree. The tree had
been set in place prior to his
arrival, and taking a spade the Prince
filed the earth in around it's roots.
The Prince was taken to the old Wash
ington house and spent few minutes
in looking at the Washington relics.
He then departed for Washington.

A NEW CONSUMPTION CURE.
London Physician Iniects Formia
Aldchyde with Great Success.

London, Feb. 27.--Since King Ed
ward has taken such a marked in
terest in the medical battle against
consumption, experts are devoting
themselves with increased energy to
finding remedy for the dread dis
ease. Attention this week has been
centered on a discovery, which, If cir
cumstantial reports may be credited,
promises TO have important results.
The discoverer is DIR. Robert Mcguire,
a physician at the Brompton Hos
pital, and one of the first authorities
on tuberculosis. 1t occurred to him
THAT, as certain antiseptics produced
remarkably good results. even with
limited use, because doses had to be
so mild as not to irritate the stomach,
If one could be found that could be
injected into the blood so as to d.
recuy attack the germ of the disease,
great benefit would result After great
research he chose formia aldehyde. one
of a group of very active germicides,
notable for the fact that a solution of
one in one hundred and seventy thous-
and parts is fatal to the consumption
germ. He has injected this in various
strengths with marvellous results, cav
tiles in the lungs healing up, 1t is re-
ported in six weeks time, achieving
what may be regarded as thorough
cures of cases thought hopeless. A
patient is instanced who was given
up as in the last stages Of consump
ton. The treatment was tried on him,
with the result that in two months he
was passed by medical examiner for
an insurance company. The injection
of the drug is painless and is made
near the elbow While 1t is too soon
yet to say that the treatment can do
all that is claimed for it, the discov-
cry has, nevertheless. attracted the
attention OF eminent medical men all
over England and on the continent.
