SENSATIONAL CONDITION OF Al

WIFE.

Washington, Dec 1O.-The first move
Of the state department in the trouble
that prevails In the American legation
at Monrovia, Liberia, and which
brought about the shooting Of Thomas
J. r. Faulkner by DR.. ]. r. A. Cross.
land, the United States minister there
has been the selection of George w.
Ellis of Kansas to succeed Robert
the legation.
senate by President Roosevelt last
Thursday. 1t has not been confirmed.
He is in Monrovia and is party to
the difficulties in which the minister
has become involved.
Further Investigation of the troubles
between Minister Grassland and
Faulkner developed the existence Of
sensational condition of things in the
American legation. From all accounts
In the possession Of the state depart.
ment the legation roof sheltered
number of warning factions. and for
all the department knows they may be
there yet All the parties concerned
are American negroes. DR.. Grassland
said In his report of the
Shooting Of Faulkner
that the latter tried to cut him With
razor. Faulkner charged the minister
with attempting to assassinate him.
Secretary Spurgeon, in his account Of
the matter, remarked incidentally that
he was in fear of the minister and kept
a loaded revolver on his desk in the
legation office. The minister, he said.
also kept a revolver in his own desk.
He expressed the opinion that DR..
Grassland was mentally unbalanced.
The charges, counter-charges and ex.
plantations which those concerned have
sent to the state department are 80
diverse and contradictory that the de-
partment has been unable to deter.
mine how much truth there Is in them.
In his official report Of the shooting
Minister Grassland said that the shoot.
ing was done In self defense. Faulk.
ner, according to the minister's &C.
count, did attack him with deadly
weapon, to wit, razor, and did cut
him and cut at him."
1t is charged that the shooting was
the outcome Of too closeattention psiA
by the minister to Mrs. Faulkner.

ROLLS DOWN A BANK.
Passengers In Chair Car Are Badly
Shaken up,

Passengers In 4 Chair Car Are Badly
. Shaken Up.
BemidJi, Mimi, Dec. 10.-The chair
car on the north-bound passenger train
OF the Minnesota & International rail-
way left the track In the yards at
South Bemidji last evening while
switching from the "Y" on the main
track. The car, which was filed with
people, rolled down the embankment.
None were killed, but nearly every oc-
cupant of the car was more or less in
jured, and the shock that went through
the train threw the people in the other
cars and passengers in every section
of the train were victims of minor in
turies.~ The accident occurred prac-
tically within the city, and medical aid
was on the scene almost instantly.
General Manager Gemmel of the rail-
road company had his special car at
the depot and he personally looked
after the comfort of the wounded, who
were removed to the st. Anthony hos
pital. How the accident happened Is
not known. The train was rounding q
curve at slow rate of speed when the
chair car, which was the last coach,
rolled off without striking any OBJ
struction, and it was miracle that no
lives were lost, as the car was reduced
to heap Of wreckage.

TRIBUTE TO THE DEAD.
House Pays Signal Mark Of Respect t
the Memory Of Ex.Speaker Reed.

House Pays Signal Mark Of Respect to
the Memory Of Ex.Speaker Reed.
Washington, Dec. g. = The house
yesterday paid remarkable tribute
to the memory of ex-Speaker Thomas
B. Reed. HIS death had created a
profound impression and there was uni
versal desire among the members of
the house to show signal mark Of re-
spect to his memory. For the house to
take action on the death of former
member had only three precedents in
its history, namely, on the occasions
of the death of Benton, of Blaine and
OF Alexander Stephens when the house
adopted resolutions and adjourned out
of respect to their memories. It was
decided to follow these precedents in
the case of Mr.. Reed.
The chaplain at the opening Of the
session made feeling reference to the
death of the ex-speaker. No business
was transacted beyond the formal
reading Of two messages from the
president and an arrangement to post
pone the special order for yesterday
the London dock bill, until to-day.
Mr.. Sherman of New York then, amid
profound silence arose and in a few
feeling remarks, offered resolutions
setting forth the services Of Mr.. Reed
in congress and expressing sorrow at
his death. AS further marke of es-
TEEN the house then adjourned.
In the Senate.
The senate adopted all the commit
tee amendments to the immigration
bill, with the exception of one pre-
scribing an educational test and also
the action of the committee in striking
out section 36 prohibiting the sale Of
intoxicants within the capitol bill and
then laid aside the bill until to-day to
pass a member Of unobjectioned pen
sion bills

Witnesses Testify for Them Before

Scranton, Pa, Dec. 10.-Almost the
entire time of yesterdays sessions Of
the coal strike commission was taken
up by the mineworkers presenting
their side of the controversy with G.
B. Markle & Co. in the Hazleton re-
gions. The miners placed witnesses
on the stand to show that the company
refused to employ them because they
belonged to the union, had evfcted
them their houses for the same cause;
that the docking system was fntoler-
able; that the question of the men
getting the 10 per cent in wages grant
ed as a result of the 1900 strike is
much in doubt, because the men do
not know how the company is figuring
1t out. the price in powder enters into
the computation of the increase and
