WRECKED BY A STORM
PART OF THE sHENANGO TIN-PLATE
WORKS DESTROYED.

Hurled Through the Roof and the
Latter Torn on.

NEW CASTLE, Pa, May 6.-The She
mango tin plate works in this city. the larg-
est tin plate plant in the world, was al
most wrecked by a storm to-day. Every
stack was torn from it's foundations and
hurled through the roof of the buildings,
steam pipes were broken and torn away

reach nearly 500. 1000.
A panic ensued among the 1000 employees
in the plant, but strange TO say. not a
single employee was injured. The wind,
which was of a cyclOnic nature, came from
the southwest. 1t was preceded by a period
OF extreme s~ultriness, which greatly af-
fected the men at work in the mill. Short
ly afterward the storm came with a fright
full rush and roar; The tin mill seemed to
be the object Of its special fury, as COM
paratively little damage was done else
where in the city.
For a minute or two il became almost
dark as the wind whirled along. Then
through the darkness came pieces Of the
roof tearing away, and then the falling of
the stacks Tn stacks crashed through
the roof into the tin mills, and in their
fall broke the steam pipes, which run to
every part OF the mill. In an instant the
mill was filled with scalding steam, which
hid every avenue OF exit and left the work.

in the steam and darkness. The entire day
urn I'm the big mills were at work, but
every man escaped without injury further
than an unimportant bruise or two received
in running. The entire plant Is shut dow
and will remain so for a month while re-
pairs are under way.

EXCEEDED ITS POWER
COURT DECISION AGAINST THE
POSTOFFICE DEPARTMENT.
Rule Against Admission of Certain
Publications to Second-Class Rates
Declared

WASHINGTON, May 6.-Justice Bradley,
in the Supreme Court of the District Of
Columbia, to-day rendered a decision in the
injunction case brought by II. w. Haynes
and Duane E. Fox, counsel for the Railway
and Publication Company, against Post
master General Henry C. Payne. The de-
cision was rendered on the demurrer filed
by the postmaster general to the complain
ants bill for al injunction to prevent the
postmaster general from charging the third
class rate instead of the second-class rate
on the complainants' publication known as
the Pocket List of Railroad Officials. This
was the first injunction case brought to
determine the power Of the postmaster gen.
eral TO charge the higher rate under a de-
partmental regulation promulgated on
July II, 1901. Under this amended regula-
ton the postmaster general has excluded
from the Second-clasS rate a very large
number Of publications, several Of which
cases are now pending in the Supreme
Court of the District. Justice Bradley also
decided two mandamus cases involving the
Official Railway Guide and Official List.
The purport OF Justice Bradley's decision
is that the regulation promulgated by the
postmaster general goes beyond the law
and Is practically an amendment of the law.
which the postmaster general has no power
10 make.
In the mandamus cases Justice Bradley
ordered writs TO issue restoring the second
class privilege TO the publications involved
and in the injunction case the justice con-
tinued the injunction preventing the post
master general from refusing TO carry the
Pocket List at the lower rate OF postage.

GARDENERS SPECIFICATIONS.
Allegations OF Wrongdoing Based on
Acts of n Deranged Man.

WASHINGTON. May 6.-when the Phil
ippine committee met to-day Senator Lodge
presented a cablegram from General Chat
fee giving the charges and specifications of
Major Gardener relative to Tayabas prov
ince. These consisted of allegations that
troops had burned buildings, i'll treatment
of natives by Lieut.. George d. Catlin and
rape of five women by soldiers. Senator
Lodge stated to the committee that Catlin
had been under treatment for deranged
mind.
The witness before the committee to-day
was r. V. Hughes, of Philadelphia, for
merly private OF Company 1, Eighth In
fantry. He testified to seeing the water
cure administered once to a native when
the troops were searching for information.
He also saw one native knocked down twice
by order of Lieutenant Merchant and an
other beaten on the chest with a stick 10
make him give information. He said the
insurgents engaged in similar work and
gave an instance of an American soldier
being cut TO pieces with bolos. He testi-
fed that the native prisoners were well
treated, the sick cared for and the food
furnished very nearly the same as that
furnished the American troops.
Answering a question by Senator Culber-
son, the witness admitted that only in
one instance had he witnessed the water
cure. and said that he had not seen a
Filipino subjected TO harsh treatment aside
from the water cure. He qualified this
statement by saying that Filipino prisoners
were on one occasion utilized to carry Of
hcers' wives in bamboo chairs seven miles,
from Santa Cruz to Magdelna. He told of
the burning of native houses, in one of
which was a crippled native woman. The
order TO burn was issued by Lieutenant
Merchant. The women, he said. were eject
ed from the houses and left TO sleep on
the ground. He described other instances
of burning. and, answering an inquiry by
Senator Lodge, said that the insurgents
engaged In similar work.
The witness said that Filipino prisoners
were we'll treated by the American SOL
diers, and, with the exception of roast beef
occasionally issued to the soldiers. they
had practically the same food. The sick
among the Filipino prisoners also were
we'll cared for. AS for himself. he had
treated the F1ipinos as well as he would
other people under the same circumstances.
This testimony related TO Batangas prov
ince. Mr.. Hughes said that he had left that
province before General Bell issued his
racOnCentratiOn order.

he followed the chase with all speed he

Los ANGELES. Cal. May 6.-To-day
may be chronicled as the day when Massa-

tentiOn TO compromise amendments, con-
sidering Section 9 of Article 1. After sew
eral efforts TO change il was accepted as
proposed by the compromise committee.
Then came consideration of Section 3 of
Article 2, the second feature in the color

WASHINGTON, May Representative
James Watson. of Indiana, who was
chairman of the subcommittee of the
committee on national affairs which
investigated all the Sampson-Schley res
~olutions introduced in the House. made
the following statement tonight: "Ad-
miral Sampson was an able Off
Ger of exceptional ability. He was GER
tainly one of the most competent in the
American navy and one of the greatest
tacticians connected with our naval serv-
ice. He was a scholar and a gentleman.
1t is quite true that the American people
generally thought his main fault was his
extreme reserve. The greatest misfortune
of his last days was the letter with refer
ence to Gunner Morgan, and personally,
while l do not approve OF 1t, | can easily
understand how a man like Admiral Samp-
son, highly educated and always desiring
that the high ideals of the American navy
should be maintained, wrote IT,"
Senator Fairbanks said: He was a ca
pable officer, brave and resourceful, having
no ambition except to serve well his cOun-
try in the greatest emergencies"
