coLLoQUIEs OF SENATORS.
They Enlivened Discussion of the
Oleomargarine Bill.

Oieomargarlne Bill.
Washington, April 3.-Discussion
Of the oleomargarine bill in the SEN
ate yesterday was enlivened by two
or three bright colloquies between
senators. MIR. Bailey, of Texas, con-
Guided his speech begun Tuesday in
opposition to the measure, occupying
most Of the time devoted by the SEN
ate yesterday to the bills considera-
ton. His argument was brilliant and
at times eloquent, and attracted the
careful attention of senators on both
sides of the chamber and of the oc-
cupants of the crowded galleries. He
was followed by MIR. Depew, of New
York, in a bright and witty speech N
support Of the measure. Mr.. Depew
matched his wit with that of Mr.
Bailey on the subject of the Ameri-
can girl, and the sallies of the two
senators were greeted with shouts o.
laughter, both on the floor and in the
galleries. The Texans keen refer
ence to the recent marriage Of Mr.
Dopew was happily fenced by the
New York senator in his reference 20

MILTON SHEETS HANGED.
Law Finally Avenged on Somerset
County, Pa, Criminai-Thwarted
Justice Several Times.

Somerset, Pa April 8. - Milton
Sheets, Who has made himself IA
nous by shwarting justice and ward
ing off the infection Of the death pen
atty for over two years. was hanged
here at 1:41 yesterday afternoon.
Sheets. murdered and robbed Au-
gust Glessrer, a stohe-mason, as the
latter was passing through a field
near Berlin, in January, 1899. He
was arrested while in the act of rob-
bling his victim and was con-
victed /. and sentenced to be hanged
on March 9, 1900. He broke jail
shortly before the time set for his
hanging and nothing was heard Of
him until few months ago, when he
was arrested at Athens, o. while in
the act Of committing burglary. He
was brought back to Somerset AMI
re-sentenced to be hanged March II.
On April Is Gov. Stone respite1
Sheets in order that his case might
be taken before the pardon board.
That body took up his case three
weeks ago and refused to interfere.
He was again re-sentenced and an ap-
plication was at once made for an
other respite in order that the case
might go before the supreme court
for re-hearing. The application was
denied, however, as the supreme
court had passed on the case before
Sheets escaped from Jail.
Sheets never lost hope that some
thing would interfere to save his life.
His escape from jail just before the
day first set for his execution and
the respite granted after his recap
ture, inspired in him the belief that
he bore a charmed existence and that
way to escape the penalty of the
law would be found at the proper
time. His conversation with his
guards during Tuesday night indieat-
ed that he had not abandoned this
belief.

SNOW BOUND on 4 TRAM.
Party Suffered Hardships For -Four
Days and Five Nights-Sick
Man Attempted Suicide.

st. Paul, April 3--Passengers ar
irving yesterday on Great Northern
train due last Friday tell CT being
snowbound for four days and five
nights ON the prairies of North Da-
kota in the midst of the worst bliZ-
zard the northwest has seen in many
years, with only food enough for two
frugal meals day, and with such a
small amount of fuel that the ladies
had to. wrap themselves. in blankets
and the men to wear their overcoats
day and night to keep from freezing.
There was an incipient riot on the
first day. The second class passeE-
gers insisted that they must have as
much or more food as the others, and
as they were in larger numbers and
had more rayenous .appetites it was
difficult to .confine them to hteir
quota. Many were not willing, as
the first class passengers insisted
that the women and children should
be fed and taken care of first, but at.
ter some argument they were pre-.
vailed upon to subside.
Monday evening Prof. Colegrove, cf
the University of Washington, who
had been respondent and morose, at
tempted suicide by cutting his throat
with a razor. There was a physician
on the train, but he had no facilities
for performing the necessary opera
ton, and it was absolutely necessary
to get into communication with one
OF the neighboring towns.
A telegraph instrument was found
on the train, and an electrician open
ed communication. A snow pillow
worked each way, with surgeon Oh
each engine following. Finally the
one from Minot reached there after
a hard nights work. The injured
man was taken to st. Paul. He may
not recover.
The almost famished passengers,
who had suffered from the cold and
exposure, were given food and warm
berths in the first train pushed
through the drifts.

SIXTEEN WERE KILLED.
IA Widows and SO Orphans, Due to
tennessee Explosion.

Chattanooga, Tenn, April 3.-In-
vestigation yesterday revealed the
fact that the Nelson mine at Dayton,
in which the explosion occurred, is
not on fire and has not been. Work
men, were engaged yesterday exca'
waiting the debris. The funerals of
the victims were held yesterday. Al
together there were 16 killed, leaving
IS orphans and IA widows. The min
ers claim that the explosion was due
to failure to sprinkle the mine on
Sunday. The prevailing opinion
seems to be that it was caused by d
combination of coal dust and gas in
the mine.
The officials CT the Dayton Coal
and Iron company stated th-t they
have not progressed sufficiently in
their Investigations to make a full
statement, but they claim that the
Nelson was one Of the best governed
mines in Dayton.

Chinese Hard to Convict.

From the New Orleans Times Democrat
Just to show how hard it is to convict
chinese accused of participation in one of
the highbinders wars 1 will cite a single
instance that came under the notice of one
or the representatives of a great San Fran
cisco newspaper. A Chinese gardener
named Ah Lux was shot in the back by
binder while he was sitting in the Chinese
theater on Jackson street. He was in
stantly killed. Immediately following the
fatal shot the usual movement took place
around the body, but the actors on the
stage never even so much as hesitated in
the delivery of their lines. When the man
fell from the bench the lookout at the main
entrance of the place called out in Chinese
that the white devils We're coming The
man who did the shooting SO far forgot
himself as to run, and the police on a hot
scent saw him and started after the fugi-
i've. Ihe man ran out of the side entrance
TO the auditorium and made his way to
Fish alley. The police were close to him
and saw him enter a building at the corner
of the next block. The squad hurried into
the place and captured two well-known
binders. Neither of them had weanon
but there were powder burns on the right
hand of one of the men. Nothing could be
learned from either of the prisoners and
they We're locked up with a charge of muir
der against each Of them The next morn
ing in court the two brothers of the mur
dered man swore that they were with him
at the time Of their brothers death and
saw the man who did the shooting, and
positively swore that neither of the prison
ers had anything to do with the killing.
The accused men were forthwith released
But that night both of the brothers were
arrested for killing one of the men who was
turned loose by their evidence in the morn
ing and dangerously wounding the other
When the wounded man recovered he sWore
that neither of the brothers had anything
to do with shooting him. Which all goes to
prove that 1T does not matter much what a
Chinese has to swear to, and also that in
his poor, weak Mongolian way he does not
take great deal of stock In the brand of
Justice dispensed by the white devils.

CANAL FATALITIES.
Number of Lives Lost in James Creek
and C.. and o. bitches,

statement Of persons who have lost
their lives in the James Creek and Chesa-
peake and Ohio canals since 1891 has
been placed before the Senate committee
on the District of Columbia. Mr.. H. c. Nc
Lean, deputy health officer, has written a
letter to Mr.. w. G. Dodge Of this city in
relation to this matter. 1t shows that since
1891 eighty-three persons We're drowned in
the James Creek and the Chesapeake and
Ohio canals In 1891 the number drowned
was twenty four; 1892, twenty five; 1892 five;
1894 seven; 1895, four; making a total of
sixty-ive drowned in both canals during
those five years. From 1896 to July 1, 1901,
a period of five and one-half years, eighteen
persons were drowned In James Creek canal
alone. In 1896 two were drowned; in 1897,
five; in 1898, five; 1899. one; 1900, one, and
during the first half of 1901. four.
This awful showing Of death through
cause which is regarded as at least largely
preventable will be taken up by the Senate
committee, and 1t is likely that some
prompt action will be decided upon In order
to far as possible protect persons from
such danger in the future. In the case Of
the James Creek canal the deaths are re-
garded as almost entirely preventable. 1t
may be that 1t will be decided to erect q
wooden fence around this canal to act as
protection until something is done to per-
manently remedy the difficulty.

Colored Envelopes,

From the Minneapolis Journal
Colored envelopes used by some Minneap-
oils business houses In the dispatch Of mail
are causing the post offices and the rail-
way mall clerks considerable annoyance
and trouble. Addresses on them unless
written with a typewriter, are almost un-
decipherable. When the fact that most
Of the work in handling letters is done un-
der gaslight and on swaying mail cars is
considered, it will not seem strange that
clerks regard colored envelopes as a device
designed for their particular discomfort
Red is the worst color In the spectrum
for envelope use. Blue is next Unless
the address is written In the olaclkest of
ink 1t appears as nothing under artificial
light. Colors are more endurab1e, as they
approach white. approved by the scores Of
men through whose hands mail passes The
postmaster has had occasion to make spe-
cial suggestions to firms that they print
their envelopes and wrappers on white pa :
per. Business houses which have adopted
one color and used It 50 long that 1t is q
familiar trade mark dislike to make the
change. but it is probable that they viii
recognize the justice OF the request. in
view Of the fact that 1t will tighten the
burden of the CLERKS and assist In the rapid
and correct delivery Of mail.

"Specks" in the British Army.

From the New York Sun.
The following order, nothing short of
revolutionary has just been issued by the
British war office: Officers and soldiers of
the regulars are allowed to wear spectacles,
on or off duty" Hitherto it has been a rule
of the British army that officer below
the rank of major could wear glasses; this,
Of course, prevented all line officers as well
as all enlisted men, from wearing them.
Officers of the guards and other regiments,
some of whom needed the aid of glasses,
got around the rule by inventing the mono
cle sometimes irreverently called the "eye
popper;' and decision of the war Office
made years ago solemnly held that Off
Ger might wear a monocle because it had
only one glass. and so did not fail under the
rule prohibiting glasses. The new regula-
tion apparently is the result of the war in
South Africa. which has developed that
spe ctacied Beers can shoot, and in some re-
spects at least will serve to bring the Brit
ish army up to the standard of the German
and French armies. the officers and men of
which wear spectacles or not, according as
they need them.
