THE DBPEWS TAKE
A SUNDAY STROLL
Thought They Were Incog-
nito, But They Were Not.
Distinguished After-Dinner Speaker At
tentive to His Bride-Observ-
T. ed of Observers.

For the first time since their European
tour Senator Chauncey NJ. Depew and MS
bride took q long walk through the streets
of Washington yesterday. During their
walk they were recognized by almost
every person whom they passed. This
was shown by the number of gazes cast
at them as they wandered arm IN arm
down Pennsylvania Avenue.
They started out from their home or H
Street lust as the western skies began to
clear after che heavy rain. From their
residence they walked through Lafayette
Square to Fifteenth Street. When they
reached the transfer station of the Cap
ital Traction Company the Senator was
recognized by everyone.
After he had helped his young bride
carefully through the crowd and reached
the sidewalk in front Of the Riggs House
they walked leisurely down Fifteenth
Street to Pennsylvania Avenue. When
they reached the Avenue they strolled
carelessly along apparently not caring for
anyone or anything.
Mrs. Depew appeared to enjoy her walk
on the principal shopping street of Wash
ington. She looked into every store win
dow from Fifteenth down to Seventh. Her
eye was especially attracted to the win
dows showing the styles of hats bonnets
and ladies' wraps.
1t took them very nearly three-quarters
of an hour to walk from Fifteenth Street
TO Seventh and Market Space. Not one
of the show windows was missed Dur
ing the entire time the Senator was most
attentive to his wife.
Stares of the Regulars"
Many were the stares and gazes OF the
regulars as they saw this master of ora
tory and eloquence on Pennsylvania Ave-
nue.. Although there was nothing at all
in the appearance of either to denote
that they were prominent personages
there was hardly a person whom they
passed who did not say to his companion:
why. there is Senator Depew and his
wife" or by jove, that is Senator De-
pew. isn't it?''
Just as they passed the Franklin Statue
two little street gamins were sitting at
the foot OF the pedestal. One OF them
said: Say. Mike. here comes de man
who just got married; it's that big bug.
Depew."
Nav, it's not cider" said the other.
She aint got no veil on"
From Seventh Street the walk was up
Louisiana Avenue to Fifth Street. where
they hailed Metropolitan car bound for
Dupont Circle. They boarded the open
trailer After the car had arrived at
about Ninth and + Streets the Senator
noticed that they were sitting In the
smoking section of the car and that
smoke was liable to blow into his young
wife's face, and prove offensive. In order
TO avoid this he suggested that they move
up one or two seats.
At Dupont Circle the Senator and his
wife got of and walked down Connecti-
cut Avenue to \ Street. and down n
street to Nineteenth. where they made
short call on Miss Paulding. whose resi-
dence is on the southeast corner. They
spent about half an hour with Miss Pauld
ing and then came out and walked back
TO Connecticut Avenue, taking the car TO

Republicans Divided.

Two Republican members of the Ways
and Means Committee voted against re-
porting the bill. which was gotten out of
committee only by the aid OF Democratic
votes. Both Republicans and Democrats
are divided in opinion as to the merits Of
the proposed N aasure. which the leaders
may not be able to pass by Republican
votes alone.
Representatives Tawney of Minnesota
and Metcalf of California. the two Re-
publican members OF the Ways and Means
Committee. who voted against reporting
the bill. are supported in their opposition
by a number Of Republicans from beet
sugar States who declare they will fight
the bill to the end They claim to have
thirty votes at their command. but this
is undoubtedly an exaggeration- But even
IL it is not. the bill will not be defeated
because there are more than thirty Demo-
Gratis who will vote for it. Their pro-
gramme is to offer amendments relating
directly to reductions in the Cuban tariff
and also proposing changes in the gen.
eral tariff schedules. Some of these the
Speaker will probably rule out of order,
and If an appeal is taken from his decis-
ion he will be sustained by the votes OF
his Republican colleagues. Other amend
ments will be defeated on their merits.
and in the end the bill will be passed as
II came from the Ways and Means Com
mittee
The speech making will be political in
it's nature. and may last for ten days.
The Cuban question in all its phases will
be discussed and a partisan debate of no
small proportions is anticipated.
The vote on the Chinese exclusion bill
will be taken today.

THERE is NO BINDING AGREEMENT

Vote on Exclusion Bill Today.

There is a busy week ahead of Congress,
beginning today. and one during which the
foundations will be laid for the enact
-ment of what in some respects is the most
important legislation of the session.
In the House of Representatives on
Tuesday the Cuban question will be
brought forward, when Chairman Payne,
of the Ways and Means Committee. will
call up the bill reported several days ago
providing for a reciprocal tariff reduction
of 20 per cent between the United States
and Cuba to continue until December 1.
1903.
This bill was reported from the Ways
and Means Committee after a protracted
struggle carried on behind the closed
doors OF five party conferences before an
agreement could be reached. Moreover.
that agreement is not binding, as no eau
Gus of the Representatives has been held.
If they had been unanimous in supper, of
the measure a special rule would have
been adopted providing for its considera-
tion without debate and without the op-
portunity for the presentation OF amend
ments

|KRUGER'S MEMOIRS.
How He Prevented General
Massacre at johannesburg.
Describes Narrowing Life He Lead
During the Recent War.
Left All the Peace Negotiations to
Generals Discretion.

London, Nov. 15.-The Times pub
fishes, this morning. another page of
extracts from the memoirs of Mr.
Kruger dealing with the history of the
Transvaal and his own succession
terms of office as president. Mr.. Krug-
err enters at great length onto the cir
cumstances of the Jameson raid and
declares that it was only his influence
and his threat to resign the Presidency
which prevented the burghers from at
lacking and shooting down all the in
habitants of Johannesburg.
The former President explains that
particulars of the course of the war
with the British and it's vicissitudes
would not come within the scope of his
memoirs, as he took no personal part
in the fighting. He describes the har-
RAISING life he led at this period di-
recting and advising the Boer leaders
His sleep was broken many times every
night to attend to dispatches, etc.
He gives minute details Of the re-
moval of the Boer government from
Pretoria and says it was a sad blow to
him, especially, as his wife was then
so old and weak that he could not think
Of taking her with him.
The extracts published also include a
description of Mr.. Krugers journey to
Europe, and the writer declares that in
the matter of the peace negotiations he
left everything to the discretion of the
generals.

A PATHETIC CASE.
The Murderer Zimmerman Un-
expected|y Pleads Guilty.
Suffering from tuberculosis and Is
Ready to Die at Once.
After Short Hearing Is Sentenced to
Life Imprisonment.

Boston, Nov. ia plea of guilty to a
charge of murder which so surprised the
clerk of the court as to prompt the ques-
ton whether the prisoner understood the
indictment, was made by Charles H.
court, Friday. Zimmerman was indicted
by the grand jury for killing his wife.
Mary, by shooting, on Bowdoin street,
this city, the 5th of last September.
The accused man had given no intima-
ton OF his intention to plead guilty and
counsel had not been assigned for him.
When the indictment was read Himmer-
man answered guilty" Clerk of Court
Manning thought he must have misunder-
stood. He repeated the question, Guilty
or not guilty." Zimmerman again re-
piled in a distinct tone, guilty"
Not willing to leave a chance for a mis-
understanding, the clerk then made an
effort to learn whether the man, who is
a German. could speak English. There
was no doubt of this and as the man
seemeu to comprehend the meaning of the
word he had used. the plea was accepted
Zimmerman was then escorted back IL
the detention room and Dist. Atty. Ste
vens and Judge Bond held consulta-
ton. At the close of the conference the
district attorney left the court and Him
norman was taken to the Jail.
The district attorney was asked what
position the authorities would assume in
view of the plea that had been rendered.
Mr.. Stevens replied that he should make
careful investigation of the circum-
stances to reach conclusion whether
tIa NJ Of tha
or life sentence in the state prison.
After two hours hearing, a sentence
of life Imprisonment with three days
solitary confinement was imposed.
Zimmerman told his story, which had
in it many pathetic incidents. He said ne
met his wife in a North End hotel. was
bounded by her and finally induced t.
marry her through her entreaties and
protestations of love, and how she had
duped him and lived a dissolute life, While
he, almost to the end, believed her faith
full but found her false. He said the rea-
son he fired the fatal shots was because
she told him that the child she had borne
was not his. The child subsequently
died in the hospital.
Zimmerman said he was suffering from
tuberculosis and did not expect to live
many years. For this reason he said he
pleaded guilty, being. ready to die at
once.
There was some doubt about the lagali-
ty of plea of first degree from any mall
without a trial or counsel, but the su
preme court of this state in the case Of
Commonwealth VS.. Green ruled that such
a plea could be taken. The case in point
is celebrated in criminal annals and
stands as good law in this state.
