Mr.. EDDY IS
IN NORWAY
Light Thrown Upon Mime
sofa Congressman's Mys-
ferrous Absence.
Abroad in Interest of Clergue
Syndicate Operating
at the 500.

Iron, Tho Journal Bureau, Room A6, Post
Building, Warrington.
Washington, March 18-Representative
Frank Eddy Of Minnesota was granted
thirty days additional leave Of absence by
the house yesterday. It is said at the
capitol o-day, but whether with authority
cannot be learned, that he left Christiania,
Norway, last Friday, on his way home,
and will stop at Berlin and London. The
business that took him away, however,
is understood to have been confined to
the Scandinavian peninsula.
Authoritative information cannot be had.
for nobody here has been taken into Mr..
Eddy's confidence, but it is common rumor
that he is abroad Indirectly in the inter-
est of the Clergue syndicate, which is
building immense manufa oturIng plants at
the 500. It is said that two Minnesota
Scandinavians, one from Glenwood, went
to Scandinavia In January as representa-
tives of the Clergue people to induce the
emigration to this country of a colony of
Swedes and Norwegians peculiarly fitted
to take hold of a certain manufacturing
enterprise which Clergue wants to put
under way. These two agents are said to
have got into some. sort of ENHANCEMENT
abroad requiring Mr.. Eddys presence, and
thus his absence is explained.

IN PRESENCE
OF THE DEAD
A Most Unusual Wedding
Ceremony to Take Place
Tomorrow.
Lee Smith Believes 'TWOuld
Have Been His Moth
er's Wish.

Because it was his mothers fondest
wish to see him happily married, Lee
Smith will wed Miss Grace A. Howell
tomorrow morning in front of a casket
containing his mothers body. The step
was decided upon last evening, both Mr..
Smith and Miss Howell believing that
they could thus best carry out the wishes
of her who had loved them both so fondly.
The ceremony will be performed 10y Rev.
James 8. Montgomery, pastor of Wesley
Methodist church, and a prominent men,
Der of the Pythian lodge Of which Mr.
Smith is chancellor commander.
Lee Smith and Miss Howell have been
though no announcement of the pros
pective wedding was ever made. Had
Mrs. Smith lived, the ceremony would
probably have been performed some time
in April. but her sudden death compelled
a change Of plan.
= The Friendship existing between Mrs.
Smith and her prospective daughter-in-
law was far stronger than is usually the
case. Together the two women planned
the details of the younger's trousseau.
Together they did the necessary shopping,
and laughingly declined to reveal the
nature of their purchases. They could
not have enjoyed it more had they in
reality been mother and daughter.
Then Mrs Smith died. Her death came
suddenly, with no warning, and the two
families were overwhelmed with grief.
The blow was no less severe to Miss How
ell than to Mr.. Smith himself, for she had
loved the dead woman with tenderness
unbearable.
Last night the two young people sat in
a room in the family home, grieving for
her who had gone. With them was A. F.
Smith. Lee Smiths father Finally Mr..
Smith suggested to Nilsson that the we'd
ding take place before his mother was
buried.
She would have wished it, he said.
The mothers wish had always been
paramount, and the young people knew
their elder was right. They did not de-
muir. Miss Howell realized that her SYM
patty. and tender care were needed in the
stricken household and she consented to
the plan proposed.
Then there was another reason. Some
years ago Mr.. and Mrs. Smith adopted
little girl. The child is now IL years old,
anc her father felt that she should not be
deprived of mothers care. Miss Howell
bravely promised to shoulder the respon-
sibility
The young people will be married to-
morrow morning. The funeral will take
place tomorrow afternoon. The wedding,
Of course, will be strictly private, the
ceremony being performed only before the
immediate members of the two families
and before that silent form of her who
had loved both bride and groom so well
and who was herself so well beloved

TAX REPEAL
Threat of Cuban Amendment
Delays the Reporting
of the Bill.

Washington, March 18.-The senate
committee to-day finished the bill repeal,
ing the war revenue act and authorized
favorable report. The bill is greatly

the taxes of the war revenue act and the
only changes made are those of language,

The delay in reporting the bill is &C.
casioned by threats to offer amendments.
Senator Foraker has said that he would
present provision for Cuban reciprocity.
This would rouse long debate and the re-
publican members Of the commit tee are
exerting themselves to prevent it. Demo-
cratic senators are willing to allow an
unconditional repeal bill to pass without
amendment. ,,.-. =. a, . .. -

1owan Keeps Up His Fight Agains
River and HarbOr Bill,

Iowan Keeps Up His Fight Against
River and HarbOr Bill,
Washington, March 1S-Mr Hepburn,
QoWa) who has fought river and harbor
bills ever since he came to congress,
spoke to-day in the house on the appro-
priation bill. He began:
l arise to make my annual contribution to
riven and harbor literature with miscelIano-
Gus assortment Of motions I recognize the
utter futility of saying anything against this
bill I recognized that fact years ago, when
the pork in the barrel was only S. 600 OO0
How manifestly impossible is it to make
Roadway against it now that the appropria-
lions aggregate $4,000, 900.
Mr.. Hepburn commended the committee
for taking the back track upon waste
full Expenditures in certain directions,
pointing out the abandonment of further
improvements of the Missouri river as a
final fulfllment of predictions he made
eight cen years ago. He said that congress
should set definite limit upon the depth
of water sought to be obtained in seaport
harbors-thirty feet, for instance-and
place limit upon naval architecture
Otherwise there would be no end to the
depth of water which would be demanded.
Mr.. Hepburn said there were gentlemen
upon the committee who did not hesitate
to "log rolf to secure appropriations for
their own schemes.

WHAT MILES
....,., ..-f.-.....
PROPOSED
Details of His Rejected Plan
to End the Philippine
Rebellion.
Presidents Action Widens
Gulf Between Him and
the General.

From The Journal Bureau, Room, A5, Post
Hu2din0, Harrington. ,
Washington, March 18.-Sincerely as the
friends of the president and Lieutenant
General Miles regret 1t, a gulf separates
the executive and commanding general of
the army as wide as that which existed
during the Mckinley administration.
When President Roosevelt assumed of
fee 1t was expected that General Miles
would receive the recognition which had
not been given him by Mr.. Mckinley. The
relations of the two officials were cordial,
and as result of the presidents efforts,
General Miles received greater considera-
tlon from the secretary of war This hap
Ply condition continued until the president
directed Secretary Root to administer
sharp repr1mand to General Miles for the
latter S indiscreet interview on the Schley
controversy. That reprimand caused Gen
eral Miles Immediately to sever all rela-
lions with Mr. Root, and he has not to
this day placed his foot inside the secre-
tary's home or office.
The final blow to General Miles friend
ly relations with the executive occurred
when the president officially concurred in
the recommendation of Secretary Root
tii'I HeAeledl Miles plan LOT the paclnca-
ZION or the Philippines be not adopted.
This plan contemplated the selection Of
half dozen Cubans and half dozen
Porto R1cans, who should accompany Cen
eral Miles to. the Philippines. These men
would be given an opportunity to talk
with the Filipinos regarding the beneficial
results Of American rule in their island.
After short stay in the archipelago,
General Miles proposed to induce several
prominent Filipinos to come to the United
States and study American institutions
This plan had brought successful results
in treating with Indians, and General
Miles was confident that it would be
equally advantageous in ending the Filipi-
no instruction. 1t is authoritatively
stated that there was no personal animos-
ity on the part Of the president and Sec
rotary Root in disappearing General Miles
recommendation.

LAST DITCH ..
Ways and Means Men May
Have a Chance to Be "
Magnanimous.

From The Journal Bureau. Room 40. Posi-
Building, Warrington. .s.- d -. r.
Washington, March 18.-The beet sugar
republicans to-day say they will at to-
nights conference resist to the last a
reduction of the duty on Cuban imports
They say they are more firmly determined
than ever not to yield to the ways and
means proposition. Probably they will
request that the conference tonight ad-
journ for a week.
Such a request would give the ways and
means people an opportunity to be mag
unanimous, provided they are really in the
majority. When the beet sugar forces had
majority several weeks ago they agreed
to postpone, at the urgent solicitation sef
the ways and means men. This was a
fatal move, but they made it. Now they
think the ways and means leaders should
be willing to reciprocate, should the sit
uation demand. 1t is claimed the insur-
gents still have forty-three "last-ditch"
votes. Should they hold out the ways
and means proposition cannot win.
