SWELLED TO 90
GoLiAD A TOWN OF FUNERALS.
NEW GRAVES DUG AMONG THE
RUINED AND OVERTURNED
ToM6sToNEs.

Goliad. Texas, May 2o.--Three Of the

making the total number of deaths %.

a negro woman died this afternoon, and
1t Is believed several more of the VIC
tins cannot survive their injuries.
There were many funerals again today
and the same short service was observed
as on the preceding days. Forty-five ne
groes have been buried but there is lit
tie effort to obtain their names. The un-
dertakers are rushed and have not much
time for elaborate details. The cemetery
where the white people are buried was
wrecked and the new made graves are
among the overturned tombstones.
Committees have been appointed and
as fast as supplies are received they are
taken In charge and distributed where
they are needed, white and black sharing
alike, according to their wants. There
has been a generous response to the ap-
peals made, but there is much to be done
and 1t will require a large sum to care for
the injured and homeless.
Many persons are encamped by night in
the court house yards and during the day
work among the ruins.

THE MEASURE.

Washington, May 20.-For third time
within week the House has instructed
Its conferees on matters of dispute be-

sidered the matters in controversy. The
motion to instruct was made by Mr..
Cannon, Illinois, chairman of the ap-
preparations committee, 1t was resisted
by Mr. Hull, chairman of the commit
tee on military affairs and the somewhat
spirited debate which followed developed
antagonism between the committees. The
amendment at which Mr.. Cannon aimed
was that which increased the appropria-
tion for military posts from three to
four million dollars.
The House agreed to the conference
report on the omnibus claims bill, which
passes the measure. The urgent defic-
iency bill also was passed.

tion Of the military authorities.
Mr.. Hoar of Massachusetts spoke brief
ly in line with Mr. Bacon.

The Supreme court today rendered Il
decision in Che case Of the state OF

affirming the Judgment OF the lower
court.
McKenna was charged In the infor-
nation with having, ON Aug. 10, 1901
In Utah county, unlawfully and felon-
iously closed two angle cocks and part

The court granted the motion, and IL
Is from this order and Judgment that
the state appealed.
The opinion. which IL written by
Chief Justice Miner and cOncurred IN
By Justices Bdskin and Bartch, holds
that Il does not sufficiently appear that
the train OF cars were attached 20 or

of cars would not become a part OF a

charge that the defendant injured a

charge that he did so to cars pro-
uaited hv steam mr. other motive mower,
as specified under the statute. So fai
as II appears in the information the
