A MURDER MYSTERY.

Buffalo, n. Y, June 2S-Tied hand
and foot and with a section of rope pass
ing about her neck and cutting into the
flesh, the body of little Marian Murphy
was found floating in the lake at Forest
Lawn Cemetery last night. There is
absolutely no doubt that the child was
murdered. When found in the water it
was done up in two newspapers, a
piece of sheet, and tied with piece of
clothes line. The only piece of clothing
on the child's body was a small under
garment. The child disappeared from
her home here on the evening of June
II. 1t was thought she was Kidnapped,
and the detectives worked on every pos
sible clew to find her. So far there has
been no solution of the murder mystery.
After Mrs. Murphy identified the child
she collapsed completely. She is now in
a serious condition.

THE EXHIBIT elsewhere in the Ga
zette which shows the rapid increase in
the manufacture of textile goods in the
southern States will be read with graft
fcation. The development of the South
has progressed steadily from the time
the States emerged from the embrace Of
negro and carpetbag rule. Southern in
dustry and enterprise produced natural
results when the people were left to
themselves. Cotton is still king and in
a wider sense than in 1860. The South
at that time produced this commodity
and sent it TO the northern factories. II

ACCORDING to statement wh.ch
comes from Boston, anarchists were on
the heels of President Roosevelt during
his recent visit to that city. The pole c
kept strict surveillance over the suspic-
ious characters who pushed themselves
close to the President and if any of them
intended to commit overt acts their plans
were frustrated. 1t is an unfortunate
condition of affairs when the move ments
of the chief executive of a country have
to be watched so closely in order that he
may be protected from bodily harm, and
some drastic measures should be institu-
ted at once to rid the nation of people
who are perpetual menace to life and
good order.

The AUTHORITIES of WilGesbare,

there may be times when people either
have or think they have reasons for
leaving their places Of employment, that
they have the right to destroy property

THE LARGEST voluntary increase ever
known in the wages of 100, 600 men has
been decided upon by the United States
Steel Corporation. The men will receive
an increase of 10 per cent. which will in
crease the annual payroll of the steel
corporation about 81, 600, 600. The adj
vance applies to union as well as nom
union men. While every wage-earner
will read the above with satisfaction, at
the same time the men employed by this
gigantic corporation are mcrel y receiving
what they are in all fairness entitled to.
The people at the head of the combina-
ton are basking in millions earned for
them by the sweat of one hundred thOus-
and employees The latter are entitled
to the additional comforts of life they
will be in a position to enjoy by the in
crease in their wages. Besides the neces-
saries of life are higher now than they
have been for many years, and, after all,
the increase in their pay may only bring
them out even ut the end o the year.
Some people will, of course, question the
motive of the steel corporation in titus
advancing wages, and many of the re-
Elections which will be made can be an
ticipated. but if the combine has done
is part toward allaying discomfort judg-
ment should be suspended until some
patent reason can be given for pro
nOuncing il.

Nh Y. r. Mars.eller, who Is IN IN 5

office some interesting documents when
were read wi h great interest over forty
wears ago. They are now perused as
recollections of by-gone days, when the
country was preparing for a struggle
which proved to be one of the most his
toric of modern times. These mementoes
consist of three pamphlets-s2eeehes OF
Hon. Alex. r. f. Boteler of Virginia,
Hon. James Hughes Of Indiana, and
Hon. Jefferson Davis, of Mississippi. Mr..
Boteler's speech was delivered on the
organization of the House Of Representa-

the admission of Oregon in February,
1859. and Mr.. Dayis's in the Senate on
the message of President Buchanan con
corning the condition of affairs in South
Carolina in January, 1861. All three
of the speeches are full of historic in
formation, but that Of Mr.. Davis "a

New York, June 2S.-Representatives
of the anthracite coal roads and the
coal companies in town today were not
disposed to credit the Washington re-
port that President Roosevelt had re-
quested the Attorney General to inyesti-
gate and report whether the sO-called
coal combination Of the anthracite roads
constitutes a trust within the meaning of
the Sherman santi-trust law. They say
that in any event the question was one
which had nothing whatever to do with
the strike of the anthracite coal miners,
and had no real bearing thereon.

Fifty-seventh Congress.
Washington, d, c., June %.
SENATE.


Shortly after the Senate had convened
this morning, partial conference re-
port on the general deficiency bill was
agreed to.
The Senate insisted further upon its
amendments and asked for further con-
ference.
Mr.. Hale, Mr.. Allison and Mr.. Tel
Ter were appointed conferees. A num-
Der of House bills were passed by unani-
nous consent.
The resolution of Mr.. Morgan coming
over from the previous day, was laid
before the Senate 1t asked that the
committee on interOceanic canals be in
structed to investigate and report
whether any claims exist in favor of
citizens of the United States who are
bondholders etc. of the New Panama
Canal Company; to publish request
that such creditors should file their
claims with the committee, and to in
vestigate and report whether any UNI
lawful or corrupt efforts or practices
exist to obtain any part Of the sum of
money to be paid to the New Panama
Canal Company or to Costa Rica or
Nicaragua.
Mr.. Morgan defended his resolution
on the ground that there were creditors
of the New Panama Canal Company in
the United States who would never Sc
cure what was due them unless public
notice was served on them.
HOUSE.
When the House met to-day Mr.. Bah
cock, of Wisconsin, asked unanimous
consent for the consideration of resolu-
ton authorizing the Commissioners of
the District of Columbia to make special
police regulations during the period Of
the Grand Army encampment.
Mr.. Moon, who yesterday objected to
every request for unanimous consent and
who declared that he would continue
this objection until the end of the session
unless he was recognized for the purpose
of presenting 70 the House bill giving
a territorial form of government to the
Indian Territory, reserying the right to
object, asked leave to make a statement.
His request was granted, and he said his
bill was the most important bill now on
the calendar, and that the Speaker re-
fused to recognize him and that the COM
mittee on rules refused to bring in rule
because the federal ofiiceholders in the
territory did not favor its passage. He
said he would not object further to re-
quests for unanimous consent during this
session, but beginning with the next
session he would object to every request
until hearing had been given his bill.
Mr.. Moon not Directing, the resolu-
ton was passed.
Mr.. Bartholdt continued his address
which was interrupted by adjournment
yesterday in favor of the majority report
of the committee on elections, declaring
vacant the seat of J. j. Butler, of the
Twelfth district of Missouri, which is
contested by VIM. NJ. Horton.
The minority resolution declaring Mr..
Butler to have been fairly elected and
therefore entitled to his seat was lost on
a yea and nay vote, 1876 to 100.
The majority resolution declaring the
seat vacant was then adopted.

Many of the railroads are confront
ed with q serious problem, and that
is how TO meet the demands Of their
employees for increases in wages. In
many instances demands have been
made that are unreasonable and il the
railroads have to accede to them in or
der to avoid strike they will have to
increase freight rates to maintain
their roads on q paying basis, and an
increase in freight rates will have to
be made up by the shipper by an in
crease in prices and this increase final
" gets down until ii has to be paid by
the consumer, who in most instances
proves to be the one least able to pay
it. One trouble is that employees and
the public in general see the figures Of
railroad earnings in the papers and
think that all is profit and could be
distributed among them without seri-
Gus inconvenience to the company.
The truth is that over 60 per cent Of
the earnings of most of the big roads
are now used for operating expenses,
leaving not enough in many cases, for
the extensions and improvements nee
essary in this progressive age. Many
Of the railroad employees who are de-
manding better wages are now getting
good pay, and should remember that
any increase to their pay will be large
ly at the expense of many poorer peo-
pie on whom it will finally fall.
