| Court.
Washington, July Among the last
bills to receive presidential approval
was Representative Brantley's VAL
| dosta Court bill. 1t was among the
large pile of bills placed before the
President this afternoon when he and
his cabinet came to the Capitol to as
sist in winding up the first session of
the Fifty seventh Congress. President
Roosevelt was in a signing mood, for
he approved every measure placed be-
fore him. There were no Vetoes, not
even a pocket veto to mar the closing
proceedings. A general feeling of
satisfaction prevailed on all sides and
even the President was noticeably cor
dial in his greetings to the Boxer
senators who killed his pet measure,
Cuban reciprocity.
In summing up the results of the
session and it's effect on the political
situation, Republicans and Democrats
differ widely, but both are equally con-
fident their respective parties have
been materially benefited by the work
of the session Republican Leaders
Hanna. Lodge, Snooner. Dolliver and
Henderson-declare that the Republic
can party has accomplished its work
in manner which will give universal
satisfaction throughout the country
and have a good effect on the election
returns next fall. They insist that the
voters of the country have no COM
plant to make at the failure of the
Republicans to do something in the
direction of tariff reduction and trust
legislation and reciprocity during
the session just closed. They also deny
that there is anything in the nature of
strained relations between the Presi-
dent and his party friends in Congress
by reason of the failure of Cuban reel
procity. On the other hand Senators
Jones of Arkansas. Bailey, Carmack,
Cockrell and Teller claim that the
Democrats have an opportunity to prof
it by the misdeeds of their political
opponents. The Republicans promised
something in the way of tariff reduc-
lions and trust legislation. They have
smothered both of these great subjects,
are uncertain and indefinite on the
Philippine question, and they are prac-
tically in open war with the President
on the subject of Cuban reciprocity. In
addition they have piled up appropria-
tions aggregating over a billion of dol
lars. The Democratic leaders are con-
fident they will be able to make val
liable campaign material out of the
misdeeds of the Republicans.

Wllkesbarre, Pa, July 1.-The first

occurred to-day at the William A COL

Italian, was shot dead by one of .,e
coal and iron policemen from behind
the stockade of the colliery. Reports
differ as to the cause of the shooting
The friends of the dead man say he
was walking on the road near the
stockade when he was fired upon. The
man was on his way from Scranton to
Duryea at the time Another report
is that the Italian tried to get over
the fence, and would not heed the
warning from the policemen to go
away He insisted on making his way

Ihere. is much indigna ton over the

The officials of the William A. col
hery say some people on the outside
OF the stockade were engaged in fir

that several of the coal and iron po-
hcemen had narrow escapes from be-
ing shot. The guard at the William A.
collery was doubled tonight and the
sheriff swore in a special posse to pre-
serve order. When darkness came
about thousand people collected in
the vicinity of the cAle and an at

AGREED AS TO NEW WARSHlPS
Secretary of Navy 10 Build One In
Governments Yard and Others
should Bidders Combine to Prevent
COmnetitiOn.

Washington, July Tho conferees
of the two houses of Congress on the
naval appropriation bill reached an
agreement to-day on the one point left
in dispute after former conferences.
This point related to the contention
between the two houses as to whether
any of the proposed new war vessels
should be built in government navy
yards. The compromise agreement
authorizes the construction of one bat
tleship in a government yard and also
others in case of emergency. the pro-
vision being as follows:
THE Secretary of the Navy shall
build one of the battleships authorized
by this act in such navy yard as he
may designate and he shall build all
the vessels herein authorized in such
navy yards as he may designate should
it reasonably app VI that the persons,
firms or corporations or the agents
thereof bidding for the construction of
any of said vessels have entered into
any combination, agreement or under
standing. the effect. object or purpose
which is to deprive the government of
fair open and unrestricted competition
in letting contracts for the ccnstruc-
ton of any of said vessels
There is ar appropriation of $175, 900
for the equipment of each navy yard
to be used for constructing any of the
ships. The conference report was
adopted ty both houses.

Christmas Imagination, Says Spe-
ciaI Committees Report.
Washington, July chairman Dali
zell of the special committee of the
House of Representatives which in
vestigated the charges. in connection
with the purchase of the Danish West
India Islands to-day submitted the
report of that committee. After de-
failing the charges of bribery and
showing that Capt. Christmas had re-
pudiated the alleged report on which
the charges were based. the commit
tee sums up the results of their in
vestigation as follows:
THAT there is not the slightest SEM
blance of evidence that any member
of Congress, either directly or indi-
rectly, was offered or received any
bride, or was paid any valuable con-
sideration of any kind or character 10
vote for or assist in procuring the
proposal. adoption or ratification of a
treaty of sale of the Danish West In
dia Islands to the United States.
1T is plain beyond peradventure that
the bribery alleged in the report could
nave tAlSt6u iONhtlt SAVE III thS M
agination of Christmas, since the
whole burden of his story is that he
had no money. 1t is in evidence that
he had to borrow in order to pay his
passge home from this country"
The committee then takes up in de
tail the charges that a large sum of
money was to be used to bride Amer
icam legislators. Aside from the in
herent improbability of this charge,
the report states. the testimony given
by all of the parties mentioned shows
the unwarranted nature of the charge.
The report exonerates all the private
individuals who had dealings with

The feeling is strong that the end of

points to an early settlement is that
coal, which has been held along the
