57TH CONGRESS.
House Passes Bill for the
Strike Commission.
One Lone Democrat Criticises Presi-
dent for the Appointment.
Senate Starts in on Discussion Of
Statehood Bill.

Washington. Dec. 3.-The House. to-
600 to defray the expenses of the an
tEracite coal commission, and then adj
journed until Friday, when the London
dock charge bill will be considered.
There were two hours Of discussion
on the commission bill. during which
the Presidents course in creating the
commission was highly commended ex-
cept by Benton, Missouri Democrat,
who contended that the commission
was created without authority OF law
or constitution. There was some criti-
cism of the feature of the bill allowing
double salaries to members of the COM
mission now in government employ and
also because the bill left the amount Of
the compensation of the members to
the President. But all amendments
were voted down. The bill was passed
without division.
McDermott, N. j., pointed out the
fact that the strike commission had no
power behind it. He thought the COM
mission should be given power to make
an investigation and should report its
findings to Congress.
Cannon argued that the bill should
pass in the form in which presented. If
the Presidents action has been with
out authority Of law or constitution.
Cannon said. it had been taken in re-
Spouse to an overwhelming public SEN
timent coming up from the whole
country of SO.0O0.OOO people.
Griffith. Ind. offered an amendment
to provide for the payment of the ex-
penses of John Mitchell, president Of
the United Mine Workers. He extolled
the service of Mr.. Mitchell in bringing
the strike to an end.
Cannon paid high tribute to Mr..
Mitchell. but said he did not believe
Mr.. Mitchell would endorse such "a
Cheap John" proposition. The amend
ment was voted down.
The bill then was passed without d.
vision. although there were several dis
sentiug votes on the Democratic side.
The House then at 2.35 r. NJ, adj
iourned until Friday.

NIoBRARA A HEALTH RESORT
War Department May Send sick
Soldiers TO Post in Ne
braska.

Fort Niobrara will for some time prob
ably be a health resort established by the
United States War department. There are
a large numbe OF convalescent soldiers at
the Preside, near San Francisco, and that
post Is so badly crowded that It is impossi-
BILE to give proper care to the men. The
department has been looking for some place
where these men may be stationed until
they are strong enough to return to duty
and has settled upon Fort Niobrara az
possessing the conditions desirable. There
will be one company Of infantry stationed
at this post upon the arrival Of the Twenty
second infantry in this department and
there are quarters for q considerably larger
number. These quarters will be placed at
the disposal OF the medical department.
which will send to the post such persons as
the climate OF Nebraska will aid in recOv-
cry.
The matter is now being considered by
the adjutant general of the department,
who will report upon the number who can
be accommodated at the post. II is claimed
that Fort Niobrara Is peculiarly htted for
a resort Of this character, as It Is several
miles from any railroad and in the center
of one OF the most healthy regions Of the
west.

EDNA GRANTS QUIET MARRIAGE
Nothing OF Nature of EIopement I'm

Father.

John Grant and his daughter, Mrs. Edna
Grant Cornell. returned yesterday from
New York and Washington. Mr.. Grant
laughs at the sensational stories that were
printed in the eastern papers concerning
the alleged elopement Of his daughter.
"The only basis for the story" says Mr..
Grant, lis that my daughter and her hus-
band were married without saying anything
to myself or Mr.. Corneifs parents about
their intention. They left homo to attend
a theater together and on the way stopped
at the home Of al Episcopal minister and
were married. When Edna and I left New
York and were crossing the river to Jersey
City she told me what she had done. He
told his relatives at the same time.

MRS. FICC TELLS OF TARRTNC
On Witness Stand in Damage Suit Against
Wood and Others.
DRAGGED OUT OF BED BY IRATE MOB
Says she was Carried Into street in
Might Clothes and Subjected
20 Coating of Tar, hut
NO Feathers.

In Judge Estelle's court yesterday
Mrs. Sarah @. Figg told a jury Of the time
she was tarred by a mob Of incensed citi-
gems Of Gretna and vicinity. She was on
the stand as the first witness in her suit
for 1900 damages instituted against Allan
Wood, W. w. Browning and Albert Dona-
hoo, whom she claims to have recognized
as the leaders Of the mob.
Mrs. Ffge said that on the night Of March
~, 1900, the crowd. numbering about thirty
people, came to the Figg home near Gretna
at about 11:30 O'Clock and beat in the doors.
Allan Wood then led them into the house,
she said. and he himself intruded the bed
chamber, where she and her husband had
been asleep until awakened by the pound
htng at the door.
According to the rest Of her narrative
Wood grabbed her by the wrists and at
tempted to pun her from the bed. She re-
lsisted and he then grabbed her up bodily
and carried her into the next room, where
lOthers Of the mob stood ready. and they
hhaH-dragged, hsIf-carried her into the
lstreet in her night clothes. She says that
sehe did not revile them nor reproach them,
out kept asking Wood what they intended
fdoing.
Applies Tar, but No Feathers.
Arriving in the middle Of the road In
front of the house, they forced her onto
her back. smothered her mouth and COW
cred her eyes with their hands and applied
tar to her person. No feathers were used.
After she had been coated she was still
held firmly. while the men with the tar
turned their attention to her husband, who
had been held a few feet from her by an
other division Of the mob. After he had
been coated the mob led them back as far
as tho gate and then made Its escape.
Mrs. F1gg says that both she and her hus-
BAN were in their night clothes and were
allowed no other covering, though the mer-
curry stood at about the freezing point at
that time.
On cross-examinatlon she testified that
Wood was the only one of the three de-
PENDANTS to whom she had talked while the
mob was doing It's work. The attorneys
inquired particularly as to how she knew
who the members Of the mob were, and she
answered that when the hands were taken
from her eyes she recognized their forms
and their hats, and that the masks had
slipped from some of their faces. She
said, too, that she had been nearly smoth-
cred and that she lay so exhausted after
the ordeal that the mob was for a while
alarmed by a fear that she was ~lifeless.
Shortly before the noon recess she was
succeeded on the stand by Lewis Figg. her
husband, who went over the same details.
In the afternoon the witnesses called
were the three defendants. Allan Wood
admitted participating in the tarring pro-
cess. W. w. Browning admitted being close
by when It was done. but denied assisting
IN applying the tar or holding the victims.
Albert Donahoo said that he knew some
thing was to be done. but tina he did not

Thomas Cannon Of Edgemont, 8. D.. has

The police arrested Helen and she wal

came to the police station the back way
and told the ofhcers that he was always

town simply couldn't stand It to have him
langulshing in county jail as complaining

was accordingly allowed to &c home with
the understanding that he should come
when sent for.
Helen Earnest was called before the
Judge February IA and Cannon was on
hand. The woman pleaded guilty and was
sentenced. Cannon was allowed to go home
without his part in the AFFAIR being made
public. But Cannon has his own idea about
making and saving money, and so, instead
OF permitting the dead past to bury its
dead, he has revived an active and general
interest In the AFFAIR by sending Douglas
