SHOT PISTOL FOR FIREMEN.
Novel Method of Sounding Alarm by

The firing of four pistol shots in

men at fire headquarters on Indian
street yesterday The shots were fired
by Patrolman B. w. Williams, who dis
covered the frame house at No. 575
Indian street in flames.
The fire was only a short distance
from the fire station, and the patrol
man figured out that by shooting his
pistol he could attract the attention
of the firemen much sooner than if
he had ran to an alarm box. The fire
had already gotten considerable head
way and all of the apparatus at the
station had to be used in extinguishing
the flames.
The house was one story structure
occupied by Fannie Aston, colored,
and was badly burned. The fire is be-
lieved to have been the result of care
lessness on the part of a child who
was alone in one of the rooms. The
Aston woman was washing clothes in

home was in flames until she heard the

platform of the Peoples Party, adopted
at Cincinnati in 1900. be reaffirmed and
adhered to until the next national
Peoples Party convention in 1904.
This substitute caused considerable
discussion and created much excite
ment. Chairman Parker of the Popu-
list National Committee urged that all
minor differences be laid aside and that
the reform forces unite. He said that
he had letters from the most noted
Socialists in the country favoring the
Allied Party movement. He denounced
as a Judas Iscariot the man who
would attempt to obstruct the work
begun for mankind.
Substitute Report Adopted.
Finally Mr.. Williams presented a
substitute for the report of the Plat
form Committee, as we'll as for his for
mer resolution, advocating the adop
ton of the preamble of the original
platform, together with the platform
of the Allied forces adopted at Kansas
City, which is practically the same as
that originally recommended by the
Platform Committee, and further rec
ommending the reafflrmation of the
spirit of the st. Louis, Omaha and Gin
cinnati platforms of the Peoples party.
This substitute was adopted by an
overwhelming vote as the platform of
the new party. Mr.. Williams then
recommended that the new organiza-
tion be called the Allied Peoples Party.
This report was also adopted by a
large majority.
Resolutions were passed asking the
dismissal of Third Assistant Postmas-
ter General Madden for alleged dis
elimination against reform papers, and
urging that the members of the party
demand the union label on all goods
purchased by them.
The report of the Committee on
Party Organization providing for a ma
tional and executive committee and
representation at national conventions
was then adopted and the convention
adjourned, sine die, after resolutions
of regret at the death of ex-Gov. Waite
of Colorado had been adopted.

A PHYSICIAN HURT.
Helped Himself.

When the doctor himself brings on
heart disease by the use of coffee ii is
time for ordinary people to think care
fully of the effect of that beverage.
The testimony of DR.. o. w. Mathew

is as follows. His letter is rather long
and this extract is necessarily con-
densed.
II am a physician of IS years prac-
tice. / fcit the need of a stimulant,
and for the first five or six years of my
practice used strong coffee. Eight or
ten years ago ! began TO notice symp-
toms of heart disease. This seemed to
be a regular organic type, and year by
year became aggravated. Dizziness,
faintness and later inability to walk at
times.

symptoms of disease but thought there

1t finally became impressed upon me
to give up coffee. This / found easier

case as mine. was debilitated and
very weak and about 80 pounds short

CUTTER BILL
ACT TO IMPROVE SERVICE ADOPT
ED BY SENATE.
ITS OPPONENTS DIED HARD.
SENTIMENT WAS OVERWHELMING
LY In ITS FAVOR.

Gives Officers of the Service ReIa-
tive Rank with Army and NAVY,
md Provides for Longevity Pay
and Retirement with Three
fourths Pay for Disability or Upon
Reaching Age Limit Of Ga Years.
Naval Vessels AreNNever to lie I'm.
der Command of Revenue Cutter
Omcers. Except by Specific Order
of President.
Washington, April 3.-The Senate bill
to promote the efficiency Of the revenue
cutter service passed the House to-
day by vote of 1885 to 40. The ,oppon-
ents of the measure fought it to the
last ditch. At the very end they. at
tempted to filibuster, but were swept
aside by the overwhelming majority in
favor of the measure.
The bill gives the commissioned Off
GERS of the revenue cutter service rela-
tive rank as follows:
Captains with majors in the army
and lieutenant commands in the navy;
first lieutenants, with captains in the
army and lieutenants in the NAVY; sec
ond lieutenants, with first lieutenants
in the army and lieutenats of the jun
ior grade In the navy, and third lieu
tenants, with second lieutenants in the
army and ensigns in the navy.
1t gives the officers of the service
longevity pay equivalent to the corre-
spending rank in the army and pro-
vides for their retirement. with three
fourthS pay for disability or upon
reaching the age limit of 81 years.
Messrs. Padgett of Tennessee, john
son Of South Carolina, Shafroth of Coli
orado and Mann of Illinois opposed the
bill, and Messrs. Littlefield of Maine
and Hepburn of Iowa spoke in favor of
the measure.
Mr. Hepburn created a great laugh
by his description of Mr.. Mann, who.
he said wanted to fight ''all the time
and everything"
IF there is anything in the theory
of the TRANSPORTATION of souls" said
he, II expect that at some future time
the gentleman from Illinois viii appear
again on earth in the semblance of a
mule with four legs, all in active oper-
alton at the same time"
The bill was then read for amends
ment.
A proviso was added to the first Sec
ton, providing that hereafter there
shall be no increase in the number of
officers on the active list.
An amendment was agreed to- which
provided that when naval and cutter
vessels were thrown together, the for
mer should never be under command
of the commander of the latter except
by specific direction of the President
of the United States.
The Matter of Longevity Fay.
Mr.. Shafroth OF Colorado moved to
amend the section providing for
longevity pay equivalent 70 the CORE
spending rank in the army, so as to
provide for longevity pay equivalent 0
the corresponding rank in the navy.
The amendment was defeated, rs to SO.
Several other amendments were voted
down. The only amendment adopted
was one providing that no longevity
pay should accrue after the retirement
of an officer.
A motion made by Mr.. Mann to strike
out the enacting clause was lost, A to
103. The opponents of the bill then
inaugurated a filibuster. Finally the
ayes and noes were demanded upon
the passage of the bill and It was
passed.

NATIVES SHOT LIKE RABBITS.


for InnumerabIe AtrOcities-Mur-
dered Party of Beers Whom They
Thought Had Money.
London, April 3.-The Morning
Leader publishes the alleged story, OF
the crimes which led to the court
martial and execution of two Austria
Ian officers in South Africa, which is
Just now exciting keen indignation in
Australia.
The newspaper asserts that several
officers of this particular irregular
corps shot natives like rabbits and
that they are even suspected of MUIR
dering men of their own command.
The incident which led to their court
martial was the cold-blooded "execu-
zion" by these officers Of ten Beers
supposedly having 100000, who were
journeying to Petersburg to surren-
der. The Australians stopped the
Beers, tried them by mock court mar
tial and ordered alLA4o be shot. This
was done by a squadron of the sol
diers after some of the non commits
stoned officers had refused to carry
out the death sentence. The officers
then ransacked the Boer wagons, but
found the 100000 was in Transvaai
paper money.
Lieut.. Hancock, one of the Austria
lians concerned, fearing German mis-
sionary would divulge his information,
shot the missionary dead.

Report of Commission for Last Year
Makes Interesting showing.

Makes interesting SuOWIhSs
Tallahassee, Fla, April S-The an
nual report of the Railroad Commits
sion of Florida, which will soon be
made public contains some interesting
facts. The roads as whole show
handsome net earnings from operation
as result of the past years traffic.
The total increase in net earnings from
operations of the railroads reporting
for the year ending June 80, 1901, over
the year ending June 80, 1900 was $347,-
241.09 or 1911 per cent, This result, in
view of the many reductions in rates
and classification made by the commits
sion in the past few years, is very
gratifying, and it is confidently hoped
that this satisfactory condition viii
continue.
stated, by classes, as follows: Main
track, 2,i74.S5 miles; branches and
spurs, 405.19 miles; yard track and
sidings, 2SS.91 miles; total mileage,

THE GOOD ROADS GATHERING.
Gen. Miles, Prof. willis Moore ana
Many Congressman and officials at
Charlottesville.

Gen. Miles, Prof. Willis Moore and
Many COngressmen and officials at
Charlottesville.
Charlottesville, Va, April S.-The Sc
cond days session of the National
Good Roads Association began here to-
day. Lieut.. c. P. Shaw, u. S. N, made
a brief address and Prof. w. NJ. Patton
of the University Polytechnic Institute
spoke on the subject of good roads
from an engineering standpoint, after
which there was general discussion of
the subject.
A special train of seven coaches ar
rived this afternoon from Washington.
The train was furnished by the South
ern Railway, whose president, Samuel
Spencer, is prominently identified with
the good roads movement, and was in
charge of Col. L. S. Brown, general
agent and NJ. V. Richards, land and
industrial agent of the Southern.
Among those who made the trip were
Gen. Nelson A. Miles, Assistant Secre-
tary of Agriculture Brigham, Prof.
Willis L. Moore, chief of the Weather
Bureau; M. o. Eldridge, assistant di
rector of the office of public road in
quiries of the Department of Agricul-
ture; Congressman Livingston, Mad
dox, Rixey, Caldwell, Thomas, Latimer,
Otey Sibley, Kern and Smith of Iowa,
and a large number of officials of the
Agricultural and other departments of
the government
At the afternoon session Assistant
Secretary Brigham of the Agriculture
Department advocated a systematic
construction of good roads by a rea-
sonable system of taxation.
Gov Montague of Virginia said the
only way the people could get good
roads was by demanding them of
their representatives. He would sign
any bill that would bring about good
roads. All that was needed was
to build few good roads
for the good road movement once
started would never be abandoned. The
road question should be kept out of
the hands of politicians.
Gen. Nelson A. Miles was warmly
greeted when he rose to speak. Amer
lean railroads, he said, were the fore
most in the world, and now it was time
to turn back and develop the roads
that enable the farmer to transport his
products from the farm. Nothing con-
tributed more to the spread of intelli-
gence than a good system of highways.
President Samuel Spencer of the
Southern Railway urged that counties
raise money for good roads by bond
issues and that non-political boards
conduct the improvements.
The delegates were given reception
at Monticello by Mr.. Jefferson NJ.
Levy of New York and later most of
those from Washington returned nome.

THE COTTON SITUATION.
1t Is Emphasized by the Exhaustion
of Receipts

New York. April ST cannot en-
phazise too strongly the strength of
the present Cotton situation. Receipts
indicate absolute exhaustion while ex-
ports, which are to-day again double
the receipts, reflect the eagerness of
the demand. The only large quantity
of cotton that is left available to meet
the enormous demand is the stock at
New York and New Orleans. At other
points existing stocks are nearly all
sold or contracted for. 1t appears to
me now that the physical impossibility
of getting enough cotton to keep the
worlds spindles going will be apparent
sooner than 1 had anticipated, and ]
continue to believe in a very prompt
reflection of this fact by an immediate
and sharp advance in the market.
