Stand.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star

great crowd listened all this morning to the
graphic and pathetic story Of Nell Crop
sey's disappearance. It came from the
mouth of the dead girls sister. Miss Ollie
Cropsey, eighteen months older than the
dead girl. Twice during the recital the
young woman, who Is a pretty blond with
a sad musical voice, broke down and wept
softly. There were many moist eyes in
the court room. She told of the family
coming here In April, 1898; how Nell met
the defendant, James Wilcox. In June and
Of his subsequent attentions in taking her

the witness continued. Il heard them quar-
reiing and heard Nell say Jim, If you are
going to act like this the rest of the season
you can stay home For two weeks before
Nelrs sappearance she had refused to go
to the door with Jim. though he came two
or three times week. Carrie was visiting
us then.
1.-The afternoon Of the Wednesday when
Jim and Carrie came from the skating rink
we were all in the room. He stayed half an
hour. He and Nell did not speak during
that period.
That night Jim came again. Carrie
went to the door. Nell was fixing her coat
lining. He and Nell did not converse. Jim
did not say much to any one. He kept
looking at his watch.
when Jim left it had just struck II
o'clock. Jim asked Nell out Without an
swering she walked to the piazza. That
was the first time she had been with him
to the door for two weeks. We never saw
Nell alive any more

SEEKING INFORMATION.
Senator Morgan Wants Certain Things
Explained.

Senator Morgan today introduced a reso-
luton directing the Secretary of the In
terror to send to the Senate a statement Of
the legal and traffic relations between the
government Of the United States and the
railroads that connect with the waters Of
the Pacific. and also directing the Secretary
of War to furnish similar information with
respect to the Philippines. and as to the
charters and owners Of such railroads. The
resolution went over on objection by Sena-
tor Hale.
Senator Morgan explained that the legal
relation between the land grant and trans
continental railroads and the United States
Is In confusion owing to the fact that all Of
the statutes Of the United States on that
subject stand unrepealed. and that the de-
crees OF courts transferring some Of those
properties into private hands. based upon
charters for these railroads obtained from
states are not in conformity with existing
laws of the United States.
AS to the Philippine railroads, he said the
country knew nothing, and with the view to
getting all possible information he had In
troduced the resolution.

Sprays of shamrock in honor Of St Pat
rick's day graced the lapels Of the coats Of
half the members when the House met to-
day.
Immediately after the approval Of the
Journal the House went into committee Of

(Ohio). who was In charge OF the measure
In his opening statement said he would not
discuss the benefits to commerce and trade
from the appropriations contained In the bill
but would confine himself at some length
to discussing some popular misapprehen-
sions with reference to IL. In the hrst
place. he said, the impression existed that
the bill carried something over $50 OOO, 600

At st. Aloysius Church a military mass
was celeheated, at which Cardinal Marti-
nelli. the papal delegate. presided in cape
and mitre. Three companies Of the Con-
zaga College Cadets. in bright new uni
forms, and headed by the cadet band, play
ing Irish and American airs. marched from
the college to I'd street. stopping In front of
the legation. where Company c. composed
Of very small boys. formed a special escort
for Cardinal Martinelli from his residence
to the church. the remainder Of the bat
talon marching in the rear. All the cadets
were seated in the church, while the choir
sang Haydn's military mass.
A great many members Of the Ancient
ton. but the order did not attend in a body.
Rev. Father e. x. Fink, president Of
Gonzaga College. was celebrant of the
mass, with Rev. H. c. Semple deacon and
Mr.. Kreis subdeacon. Deacons Of honor
were Rev. T. A. Reid and Rev. ]. r. X.

spoke Of the history and traditions connect
ed with St. Patrick and the day. and urged
emulation Of the good examples as set
forth in the saints life.
The members of the choir rendered special
musical numbers. Besides Haydn's military
mass, they sang Gounod's Gloria" and
other selections.

o'clock when special high mass was sung.
A large number of the parishioners and
friends attended the services, which were

mental expenditures as was popularity sup.
posed, were In reality decreasing.
Mr.. Burton also denounced the popular
idea that unworthy projects for the Inn
provements of bays and creeks absorbed
proportion of the appropriation In the bill
The appropriations were not divided up ac'
cording to states and localities. The grea,
projects in which the whole country was
interested absorbed $50,OOO.OO0 out Of tht
s6oOoo,O0o carried and authorized by the
bill.
Mr.. Burton then entered into the details
of the bill.
One Of the important new features Of the
bill, he said, was provision for board Oh
five engineers, familiar with all river and
harbor work, to pass upon surveys exami-
nations and estimates.
Injustice Claimed.
Mr.. Bellamy IN. CO. criticised the bill for
what he declared was the unjust treatment
accorded North Carolina. He was partic-
uarly aggrieved because of the omission OF
appropriations for Wilmington and the
upper Cape Fear river.
He charged that there had been willful
discrimination against North Carolina. He
contraSted the treatment accorded Alabama
and her ports with that received by North
Carolina and her ports. and said 1t was
most unfortunate that North Carolina had
not had a member upon the river and har-
Dor committee. The states represented on
that committee. he said, received Si7, ,0O0,-
0oo of the s6O,0O0,OOO carried by the bill.
Boer War Discussed.
Mr.. oster Qll) discussed the Boer war,
denouncing the majority for failing to al
low Congress to consider a resolution ex-
pressing the sympathy of the American
people with the struggling Beers. He said
that the administration, with the Philip
pine war on it's hands. dared not open it's
mouth the subject of the South African
war England and America. he said, were
tarred with the same stick; both were seek
ing to crush the life out of peoples lighting
for independence.

Impressive Services at st. Matthew's
Church This Morning.

The Loyal Legion. the Society of the
Army of the Cumberland and the Grand
Army of the Republic, in each of which the
late Maj. Gen. David S. Stanley was a
member, were well represented at his fu-
neral today, which was held from st. Mat
thew's Church in Rhode Island avenue.
Many prominent citizens of the District
of Columbia attested their appreciation Of
the worth of the dead soldier by attending
the services. Representatives of the United
States army were also present to do hom-
age to the memory of the man who had
achieved distinction as one of it's officers.
The body was borne to the church from
the residence, 2l19 Q street. on caisson.
beside which rode eight stalwart body
bearers. The casket was covered with the
folds of an American flag. In the process
sion was the generals horse, with stirrups
thrown across the empty saddle and bear
ing the inverted boots of the dead officer.
At the church low mass was conduct ed
by the Rev. Father Lee. Lead, Kindly

sung by the full choir. These services were

direction of Gov. Ruggles along the line
of march to the cemetery and paid silent
tribute to the dead soldier.
The services at the grave were indeed
simple. A major generals salute was fired
by the field battalion, and as the body
was lowered detail from the Engineer
Battalion fired volleys. The trumpeter Of
the home sounded "taps."
