Washington. April 8-A vigorous
protest was made in the senate by
Senator Cullom of Illinois against the
passage of the Chinese exclusion bill
in its present form. Coming from the
chairman of the committee on foreign
relations, the protest made a deep
impression. Senator CulIom, while
EXPIRE 5sing himself as IN favor of the
exclusion of Chinese laborers, said
many provisions Il the pending meas
ure were in contravention of our
treaty obligations with China He
urged that the United States could
not afford TO ignore its solemn treat

law if it saw fit ~ do So
The first day of the debate on the
Cuban reciprocity bill in tie house
was disappointing from a spectacular
standpoint. There were no sensa-
tional clashes after the debate was
actually begun and none of the bitter
ness which was expected TO crop out
on the floor came TO the surface. The
NclS ol TIC IGl4On W 6o lutu COLl-

bill, however, developed lines OF
cleavage and showed the democrats
are quite as much divided on the ques.
ton as is the majority. In the divi-

a test vote. 113 republicans and SO
democrats voted for the motion and

Washington. April 11.-Some re-
marks which Senator Depew of New
York made Thursday concerning the
proposed amendment to the constitu-
ton providing for the election OF
senators by popular vote, in the course
OF which he adverted to southern cleo
ton methods, precipitated a lively
three hours debate in the senate.
Senator Money of Mississippi, de

Mississippi constitution. Senator
Depew made a warm reply and at
tackled the election methods not only
OF Mississippi but several other south
ern states. He intimated that il
fair methods were employed in those
states republican senator's would h

Blackburn Of Kentucky defended what
is known as the Goebel election law
and asserted that the New York sena-

The debate On the Cuban reciprocity

principal speeches being made by Nj.

first ardently supported the PROPOSE

favored a reduction of 40 per cent.

states which had limited their sui

enacted the demand would be made
on them to accord all their citizens
the right to vote, or suffer a loss of
representatives in congress.
The debate on the Cuban re
ciprocity bill in the house was devoid
OF eniyening features. The most
notable speech OF the day was by
Mr.. Grosvenor of Ohio. He answered
the critics who have charged him
with inconsistency by saying re
clprocity was sound republican
doctrine and the tariff schedules were
rot sacred. He predicted the time

arrived. when there would be an in.

ment of currency and gold was held
up at 1870 o'clock last night, three
miles west of this city by a gang of

the engineer and fireman to cut of
the express and baggage cars and run
down the track two miles they blew
open the express car with dynamite
and secured plumber the exact amount
of which is not yet known but esti-
mated by the railroad at anywhere
from $25.OOO to $4,000.
The train was 35 minutes late at
this station and two suspicious look
ing men boarded one of the passenger
coaches. They are supposed to have
had hand in the robbery. The pas
sengers were not molested and knew
nothing of the robbery until 1t was
over.

Grocers and poultry dealers in Can
ton are sore on the saloonkeepers be d.
cause they have bought up nearly all
the choice turkeys that have come into
the city with the intention of rafting
them off between now and Thanks
giving. They not only cornered the
supply, but run the price up and de-
moralized the market, the grocers say.
''They bought up about all the your.
hens" said Louis Dumont, Saturday
morning, ''and paid any 1rico demand
ed, as they knew they could get out
on them in a-raflle. The saloonkeep-
ers have more turkeys on hands than
all the regular dealers in the city.
What they will do with them now

clared that he will not allow any

structed to lay for all who gamble foI
turkeys and it may be that there will

dealers who worked upon the senti-
ment Of the ardent admirers of the
great Canton statesman. Adams was
known all over the country and was
popular because of his relations to the
president and his personality.
Adams was 81 years old the day he
was taken sick He leaves a wife and
four children. In spite of his financial
losses he leaves a comfortable compet-
ency for his family. His one fault
was his kind heartedness and his faith
In humanity. He could not say no to
a friend and he deemed every man
as honest as himself. This is what led
him to become involved with Better.
At Minerva and in the farming COM
munity where the deceased lived he
was very popular When the word
went out that he had logt money with
Better there was great deal of in
dignation expressed and some threats
of violence made toward the man who
had been responsible for the trouble.
Adams was q frequent visitor to
Canton. He had wide acquaintance
here and his sudden death was a
shock to many.
slJ was AT HISt lnttnutu W HOiu d
post-mortem examination. to determine
definitely the cause OF, death, because
of the suspicious of the family. but
DR.. Hill stated Saturday morning that
no autopsy would be held, and the
theory of death. advanced by the ply
sicians will be accepted.
William Better, who had borrowed
money from Adams. was indicted by
the grand jury of Stark county for
defrauding Adams. 1t may be of in
terest to note that a motion has been
filed in common pleas. court to quash
the indictment upon the ground that
the jury law under which the jury was
drawn is unconstitutional.
In any event, 1t is likely that II the
case is not thrown out by this method
1t may be dropped for the reason that
the prosecuting witness cannot APP
pear. The motion to quash was filed
by Attorneys Shields &c Pomerene,. who
had been retained by Better to defend
him.
Before he died, Mr.. Adams made 9
request that. he be buried upon the
Mckinley farm, where he had lived fol
20 years. and where the happiest par
of his life had been spent The fu
neral will be held Monday, and at this
time the place of burial has not beer
determined. The consent of Mrs Nc
Kinley will have to be secured to hi
burial upon the farm. There is som,
talk that he smay be buried at Min
erva. and possibly ats Canton. IL no

(News-Democrat Leased Wire service)
Scranton, Pa, Nov. 22.-The anthra-
cite strike commission met this morn
ing to adjourn until Dec. 8. when it
will convene again to hear the report
of the committee for the operators and
miners on the efforts made to effect an
agreement without the Intervention of
the commission. sg
While no one knows on the outside
just what the basis of settlement will
be it is thought that last nights fore
cast is correct. ten per cent increase
in wages, nine hour day and yearly
contracts between each company and
it's own employees.
A bombshell was thrown into the
peaceful quiet of the hearing this
morning when Attorney Burns. one of
the counsel for the independents arose
and said the independent operators
had not been consulted in this new
settlement and that they were par
ties to the issue before court. Burns
said that his clients wanted the issue
thrashed out before the commission.
He said full hearing before the COM
mission would end in an agreement
that would be most lasting.
Justice Gray appointed Commission
er Parker, Clark and Watkins com
mittee to remain and assist in the
work of the conciliation The con-
mittee is empowered to call the com
mission together before December Z
If 1t becomes necessary. 1t can be
said on authority that the independent
operators will be given full hearing
in the coming conference of the atto,.
neys. It is likely that the operators

Six cars loaded with coal were

The cars all were of the steel hopper

This was the fourth wreck at identi-

been greatly impeded. hence much
freight has accumulated in the Mas

have gone down. Nearly all the
