WORKING ON MESSAGE.
President VIII BE busy With Fin
fshing Touches

Washington, Nov. 21.-During the
next four or five days, as opportunity
may offer, the President will put the
finishing touches upon his annual mes
sage to Congress.
1t is understood that the message
will be sent to Congress on the second
day of the approaching session-Tues-
day, Dec. 2, owing to the fact that
deaths of members of both houses
have occurred during the recess, which
will necessitate an adjournment on
Monday. The document is almost COM
pleted,. but some points of it are yet
to be written finally and the whole re-
vised.
AT to-day's cabinet meeting some
portions of the message were consid-
cred, but as the features of the docu-
ment concerning which any division of
opinion might arise have not been pre-
pared definitely and will not be until
the President shall have had time to
further discuss them with the leaders
in both branches of Congress, little re-
speeding the message was accomplish
ed.
Secretary Hay brought with him to
the meeting some documents relating
to the status of the negotiations pend
ing with Colombia with respect to
the Panama canal treaty. 1t is stated
that the President will not be able
to say in his message that he is ready
to submit to Congress a treaty with
Colombia in accordance with the
SpoOner act.
Several of the leaders in both
branches of Congress have been invited
by the President to call upon him at
the executive offices next Monday. He
will discuss with them the features
of his forthcoming message relating
to trusts and to the tariff. The Presi-
dent hopes, as one result of his con-
ference with the Republican leaders,
to facilitate the work of the approach
ing session of Congress and pave the
way for reconciliation of any diff
erences that may arise between the
two houses.

IN AWFUL TRAFFIC.
Men Arrested in Philadelphia Are
Alleged to Deal.

Philadelphia, Nov. 21.--As a result of
a raid conducted by the local police
authorities on houses of ill repute. it
is announced that evidence will be ad-
duced which will warrant action by
the United States authorities. 1t is
charged that a syndicate having for
it's purpose traffic in young girls, is
operating on both sides of the Atlantic
and that agents are scattered broad
cast to lure girls from their homes,
especially in foreign countries, to lives
of depravity in this and other cities.
The investigation was primarily in
spired by the German consular serv-
ice and the raid resulted in the arrest
of 113 girls and a number of men,
some of the latter suspected of being
agents in the sinister business. District
Attorney Weaver has taken charge of
the matter and to-day all of the de-
PENDANTS were held to bail for a fur
Their hearing.
The proprietors of the houses raided
were required to furnish $1,000 bonds
and the inmates $500.
The man suspected by the police of
being the leader in the conspiracy here
has thus far evaded arrest, but the au-
thorities express confidence in their
ability to shortly apprehend him.
An important arrest WIS made to-
day in the person of Abe Fink, who,
the police assert. is one of the distri-
buting agents in the trade. Nathan
Swartz and Louis Schoen. arrested in
the raid, are said to occupy similar po-

GERMANY'S BIG DEFICIT.
Secretary of Treasury Wants to
Have II Corrected.

nave II corrected.
Berlin, Nov. 21-In the Reichstag to-
day the Secretary of the Treasury.
Baron Won Thielmann. announced that
the deficit i'm the imperial budget for
1903 was estimated to be $37 100000. The
budget, he added. would be submitted
in two or three weeks. The deficit for
1902 was $l4.750,000.
1t would not do, the secretary said,
to be always providing for deficits by
loans. What ought to be done was to
increase the imperial revenues so as to
balance the expenditures. Looking
around for suitable objects for in
creased taxation he saw beer and to-
bacco, and he begged the members of
the house to- keep these in view while
thinking how to balance the budget.
Baron Won Thielmann also intimated
that the government intended. as soon
as practicable, to propose pensions for
widows and orphans. Assuming that
$50 was enough for the pensions OF
widows and orphans, 1t would take S4O,-
900. 600 II was impossible to say how
much the government tariff bill would
yield, but mechanical estimate. based
on the present imports, showed the
customs receipts would increase $20i-
800, 000 Secretary Won Thielmann men,
toned considerations that reduced the
estimate largely.
The hint that the government was
meditatlng pensions for widows and
orphans caused a stir among the MEM
bers, because it is one of the things
the Socialists advocate. The deficit is
the result of the financial depression
which still affects almost every form of
business, limiting the purchasing pow
err of every class.

TEST ILLUMINATING OIL.
Senator Park Thinks This Should BE
Looked To.


Atlanta, Nov. 21.-The Senate held
a short session and transacted but lit
tie general business, owing to the alb
sence of a number of the members.
Three new bills were introduced, one
of the most important being that by.
Senator Park of the Thirty-seventh
district, to require the testing of the
illuminating qualities of Illuminating
oil.
Senator Parks bill stipulates that
when complaint as to the illuminating
quality of oil is received at the State
Agricultural Department it shall be the
duty of the general oil inspector to
secure a sample of the oil and turn it
over to the state chemist for analysis.
In the event the oil is found inferior
from an Illuminating standpoint it will
be the duty of the oil inspector to brand
the oil as inferior and stsp its sale.
The bill by Senator Snead, of the
29th, to require all chartered banks of
the state to keep open at least five
hours each day, except Sundays, for
the transaction of business, was lost.
The measure by Senator Davis, of
the 18th, to provide for the eXamina-
ton of private banks by the state bank
examiner, was also lost
The bill by Senator Duncan, of the
10th, to establish county repositories
in each county of the state, received
an adverse report from the committee
and was lost.

DESTROYED LUMBER PLANT.
Serious Fire Visits the Tunis Lum-
Der Company.

Norfolk, Va, Nov. 21.-Fire broke
out about 6:15 o'clock this evening in
the fan room of the immense Tunis
Lumber Companys kiln system on
the southern branch of the Elizabeth
river about three miles from Norfolk,
and before it could be got under con-
troll, 100000 feet of lumber, the en-
tire kiln system and much valuable
machinery had been destroyed by the
flames.
A telephone alarm was sent to the
fire department of Berkely as soon as
the blaze was discovered, and an en-
CINE company responded. The Nor
folk department was asked for aid,
and sent over an engine and hose
company, and several fire tugs assist
ed from the water front.
For a time it looked as though the
large barns and Greenleaf .Johnson's
lumber mills and kilns would catch
from the flying embers, for these two
plants are only across a small creek
from the Tunis plant that is now leased
by the Surrey Lumber Company.
A very conservative estimate of the
loss is $4,000, with insurance on the
buildings and stock. 1t may reach a
higher figure.
At O'Clock the fire was under con-
troll. The origin is unknown.

HAS AROUSED PARIS.
Death of the woman Has Created
Wide Interest

Paris. Nov. 21.--The tragic death of
the young American artist, Mrs Ellen
Gore, continues to occupy the attention
of the police and the staff of the Amer
lean consulate The developments of
the true inwardness of the mystery
were followed with eager interest by
the public to-day and brought forward
| many who had known Mrs. Gore here
and in America, rana from them her
antecedents were fully established. II
| was developed also that she had been
pupil of the famous composer, Mos
zkowsh, while DeRydzewski was a pu-
Pill of Jean LaSalle, the baritone of the
grand opera.
The police branch of the mystery
seemingly remains undeveloped, and no
further light has been thrown on the
causes which led to the tragedy or the
circumstances attending it's enactment.
An autopsy was held to-day by DIR.
locust and resulted in a formal report
that the cause of death was a bullet
wound. Consul General Gowdy assign
ed member of his staff to attend the
autopsy and take notes of the condi-
ton of the body. That official report
ed that the bullet entered the fore
head above the left eye and went clear
through the head. The bullet was not
found.
The project of police designated Gas
Time Rennette, the expert armorer, to
study the weapon and wound for the
purpose of determining the possibility
of suicide.
Although many friends of Mrs. Gore
called on Mr.. Gowdy, no one claimed
the body, and late in the day he ca
bled Attorney Butler of the CITY of
Mexico, asking as to it's disposition.
The family of DR.. Buttner, an Ameri-
can dentist in the Rue de la Paix, fur
nished details of the antecedents of
Mrs. Core. They had been intimate
with the family in Mexico, but did
not know her there. They say her
maiden name was Sinclair and that she
lived in California, where she met and
was married to Mr.. Gore of British
Columbia.
DeRydzewsk continues in confne-
ment. The police decline to admit his
friends to see him, pending inquiries.
M. LaSalle has undertaken to cham
pion his pupils interest and has
designated two leading lawyers to de-
fend him. LaSalle SAYS the murder
theory is untenable, as DeRydzewski
is of a tender, sympathetic DISPOSE
ton. DeRydzewski and his brother
brought Mrs. Gore to LaSalle recently.
She discussed her musical ambitions
and was vivacious, charming and en-
thusiastic over music.
The police have modified their theory
on one damaging clue. DeRydzewslti
at first claimed that the girl was acct
dentally shot but afterwards said she
had committed suicide. The police at
first held this to be damaging contra
diction. but Commissary Landel said.
after fuller investigation to-day that
the second declaration regarding sui
eide was misunderstood, and that De-
Rydzewsh intended to indicate merely
that she was dead.
The Journal states that DR.. Soouet's
report on the autopsy of the dead wo-
man establishes that the bullet enter
ed her head from below and passed
upwards, thus supporting Rydzew-
SKIS story that the accident was due
to the fall Of the revolver.

ters She returned to this city to ar
range for her future support, her
husband being the owner of a large

prietor of the Gore court apartment
house in the fashionable quarter. 1t
is understood that Mr.. Gore was very
liberal in the treatment of his wife,
agreeing to an equal division of the
ownership and rent as far as the apart
ment house was concerned
Edward c. Butler, her attorney here,
says that the idea of suicide is to be
discarded at once. Mrs. Gore was
wrapped up in her music and her
business interests here were in excel
lent shape. He had only yesterday re-
ceived business letter from her In
this letter she wrote:
Il am taking lessons with Mozzow-
ski, the great composer and pianist.
l am working hard and getting along
well. l am also taking French lessons
so that my time is completely occu-
pied"

fined woman of irreproachable charac-
ter, admired for her grace and taste
in dress. and was often known to
take part in concerts here.

coal and real estate operations. He
