Senator Aldrich got up his financial
bill today, and believes that the Senate
will pass it. He has had conferences
with Messrs. Hill and Fowler Of the
House banking and currency committee
which has charge Of the measure at that
end of the Capitol. That COM
mittee, it is expected, will report
a compromise, which will include
part Of the Aldrich bill and part
of the HiIl-Fowler currency bill. The
chances of some currency legislation at
this session are believed to have improv-
ed over night. There is little doubt
that the Aldrich bill will be passed by
the Senate this afternoon. The pre-
gramme then is to take up the immigra-
ton bill and pass it, after which the
Philippine tariff bill is to come up for
consideration. The republicans of the
House banking committee, to whom was
referred.the Payne bill, practically dup-
Iicate OF the Aldrich Senate bill met today

JIM CROW LEGISLATION.

Jealousy between the legislature and
the new corporation commission cropped
out in the House of Delegates yesterday
morning, when Mr.. Cation, of Alexand-
ria, offered an amendment to the corpor-
alton regulations which delegated the
matter of future 'jim crow" legislation
to the commission. Street cars took a
prominent part in the debate.
Mr.. Cations amendment provided that
the commission may" require separate
waiting-rooms to be established, and
separate compartments for the races in
cars, carriages, steamboats, and other con-
veyances. 1t provided that no existing
law should be repealed by the amend
ment.
Mr.. Cumming thought it unfair to
throw the burden of such legislation on
the commission. The House should not
seek to evade the issue. He did not object
to the first part of the amendment, relat-
ing to waiting-rooms, but he moved to
amend by striking out the rest OF the
Cation amendment.
Mr.. Kelley, of Richmond, opposed
the amendment. He objected to the
delegation of further powers to the COM
mission. The assembly had few enough
left already.
Mr.. Gravely advocated the Cation
amendment.
The debate developed the fact that
the Cation amendment was designed to
apply more particularly to street cars.
The author argued that conditions diff
fered in the respective cities, and a gen.
era Jim crow street car law could not be
enforced without working hardship on
some of the companies. The commits
sion, however, could discriminate among
the electric railway companies.
Mr.. Gardner, advocating the Cation
proposition, used the Richmond electric
system as an illustration. On the
Main-street line, he said, there was no
earthly need for compartment cars.
On the CIay-street line the conditions
were different, and separate compart-
ments in the cars would greatly subserye
the public convenience.
Speaker Ryan, opposing the amend
ment, laid down the proposition that
suburban and many country commun-
tiles are hoping some day to have electric
cars, which foreign capital would proba-
bly, build. He asked whether it was
good policy to pass law which would
subject such investors to an additional
expense of one-t third in cost of equipment.
Mr.. Green, of Fauquier, opposed the
amendment
The House, by recorded vote of 81 to
%, adopted the Cumming amendment.
which struck out the provision relating
to street-cars. Richmond News-Leader.

The Buffalo Murder Mystery

Buffalo, N. Y, Feb. 2S.-The Bur-
dick murder is still mystery but there
are clues developing which may lead to
important results. By far the most i'm
portant clew unearthed was the finding
of a hackman who drove man to with
in few steps of the Burdick home at
about eleven o'clock Thursday night.
The police have the hackman sstory and
they know him well. The hackman was
at the Central Station at 1910 Friday
morning. He drove passenger to the
German American Hotel at the corner OF
High street. Then he drove down Main
street. As he passed the Tiff House a
man hailed him. The man got into the
hack, directing the hackman to take him
to the corner of Ashland avenue and
BRYANT street. Arriving there the
man got out and started down
Ashland avenue toward Summer
street, which would take him to or past
the Burdick house. Investigation has
failed to show any resident of that
vicinity who went home at any where
near that hour. A second and most
valuable clew is tuft of hair about six
teen or twenty in number. They were
found just below the abdomen of Mr..
Burdick. They are not of Burdick'
hair and look as they had been torn.
The police who have this will not say
whether they are the hairs ofa man
or woman. The district attorney and
police found photograph in Burdick''
den. 1t was picture of the wife of
dentist living on West Utica street. Hel
husband has been out of the city FOL
some time. In the den the authorities
also found Cleveland paper that hat
been sent to Mr.. Burdick by Mrs
Warren, in Cleveland, containing &
story of the granting of a divorce to Mrs
Warren from her husband. The polic'
communicated with the Cleveland au
thorities to learn the whereabouts o
Mrs. Warren on Thursday night, ant
ascertained that she was in Cleveland
They could not locate Mr.. Warren, how
ever. The police department announces
that another day may bring forth start

Ferry Boats Collide I'm a Fog.

New York, Feb. 2S.-Two men were
injured and scores of commuters thrown
in a panic this morning when the ferry
boat New Jersey ran into the ferry boat
Ridgewood in the North river. The
Ridgewood was proceeding from the Jer-
sey side to this city and when off pier
20 the New Jersey ran full tilt into her
bows, smashing them in and tearing
away part of the boats superstructure.
The falling debris injured two of the
Ridgewood's passengers. There was a
panic among the passengers, but the
boats crew quoted them with assurances
that no serious damage has been wrought.
The damage to the RidgewOod is esti-
mated at 81, 900. The New Jersey was
only slightly damaged. 1t is said the
accident was caused by the heavy fog
which hung over the river. The ferry
boat New Jersey, after her collision with
the Ridgewood, proceeded to Jersey
City, and later left for the New York
side A hoodoo must have pursued her,
for before reaching her dock, the Passaic,
a ferryboat belonging to the Erie Railroad,
rammed the New Jersey in the side,
smashing the ladies cabin. The Passaic
sustained some damage and blew for
help. and was taken to Desbrosses street
by two tugs. There was a panic on
board the Passaic and ambulances and
surgeons were called to minister to
several women who had been overcome
by fright. No one was hurt.

THE CAMPBELL CASE.

The legislature will be requested by
the majority of the committee on courts
of Justice to remove from the bench
Judge G. J. Campbell, of Amherst, who
is charged with cowhiding Rev. DR.. G.
H. Crawford and permitting the sale OF
liquor in the Amherst judges district,
which is a dry one.
The committee held lengthy execu-
tive session yesterday afternoon, re-
viewed the evidence and debated the
question. The pro-Campbellites made
a strong fight at first, but finally
weakened, and when the vote was taken
it was found that nine were against
Campbell and four for him.
The majority report which will be
drawn by Mr.. r. b. Davis, of Peters
burg, will recommend that he be re-
moved from the bench by joint resolu-
ton.
The minority report, which will be
prepared by Mr.. w. ID. Cardwell, viii
recommend that he be censured.
1t is stated that the four members who
favor Campbell are Southall, Cardwell,
Duke and Sebrell.
The committee will meet again mex
Wednesday when the reports will be
signed.
The exact detail of the standing o.
the committee could not be ascertained
The only absentee was Mr.. Lion, o.
Prince William, and he is known to bt
for removal. 1t was figured out last
night that the vote was about this way
For removal-Messrs. Early, Gent
Davis, Lee, Lion, Sipe, Waddy, anc
probably Allen.
For censure-Messrs. Cardwell, Sout
hall, Duke, and probably Smith OF
Sebre.l.,
1t is said that when the committee
first convened one of the majority began
to argue in favor of his views, but he was
asked to refrain, in the hope that some
middle ground could be reached upor
which a unanimous report might b.
based. This was soon found to be
groundless hope.
A great fight is expected on the Hoo
of the House, and many members no
on the committee are going to maxi

TURBULENT SCENES.

The stormiest scenes of this session Of
the West Virginia Legislature occurred
in the House last night and riot was
barely averted.
Senate bill No. 125 caused the trouble.
Senator Campbell offered an amendment
to its title on its passage by the Senate
designating it as "a bill to enable re-
publican circuit judge to force republi-
can court on a democratic county" 1t
is local measure affecting Mingo cOun-
ty, but is general in its provisions.
In the afternoon Speaker Meats sus-
tanned a point of order raised by demo
crat. A republican appealed from the
decision, but the chair was sustained. AT
the night session motion was made to
reconsider which was carried, the re-
publican majority reversing itself and
voting not to sustain their own presiding
officer Speaker Meats left the chair.
Mr.. Harris, of Tyler, assumed the gavel.
The democrats raised several points OF
order and were ruled down.
Finally, when Mr.. Wetzel, of Jefier-
son, was on his feet, he was called to
order by a colored member named Ellis
from Fayette, as was Mr.. Chidester, OF
Lewis, who supported..Mr. Wetzel. Mr..
Chidester drew his pistol, stating that he
would not allow a negro to call him to
order, but was restrained by his asso-
ciates.
The Speaker pro TEN. tried to get Mr..
Wetzel to take his seat, but he positive
ly declined, whereupon the sergeant-at-
arms was instructed TO seat him. SeEa-
ters Cornwell and Campbell, together
with many local democrats who were
present and the entire democratic dele
CATION. surrounded Mr.. Wetzel and
dared the sergeant-at-arms to lay hands
on him. While the House was in
an uproar Mr.. Van Sickler, of Green
brier, democrat, hurried to the Speak
er's room and induced Mr.. Meats to
resume the gavel, assuring him of demo-
cratic support. Then order was restored
as by magic. The democrats succeeded
in forcing an adjournment. During the
debate Mr.. Wiles, of Mingo, bitterly
accused the circuit judge of that circuit
and two former democrats of being on
the floor lobbying for the bill in ques-
ton. Later at the Hotel Ruffhef, John
S. Marcum, of Huntington, asked Mr..
Wiles if he referred to him, and he said
that he did. Mr.. Marcum said he was
not telling the truth and Mr.. Wiles
struck him. Mr.. Marcum tried to draw
his pistol, but bystanders separated the
combatants.
In the closing hours of the Senate a
sensational speech was made by Mr..
Campbell, democrat, of Jefferson, in
which he stated that in his judgment
this is white mans country, and that
the negro under the present election laws
of West Virginia, ought to be disfran-
chised. He quoted Booker Washington
as saying the Almighty had placed the
mark of inferiority on the visage OF the
African race and strongly criticised
President Roosevelt for entertaining ne
groes. The Speaker claimed that he
was better friend of the negro than
those who had use for him for political
purposes only. His remarks evoked
both Kisses and cheers from the audi
ence, which packed the Senate chamber.

A GOOD THING.

German Syrup is the special prescrip-
ton of DIR. A. Boschee, celebrated Ger
man Physician, and is acknowledged to
be one of the most fortunate discoveries
in Medicine. 1t quickly cures Coughs,
Colds and all Lung troubles of the sever
est nature, removing, as it does, the
cause of the affection and leaving the
parts in strong and healthy condition.
1t is not an experimental medicine, but
has stood the test of years, giving salts
faction in every case, which its rapidly
increasing sale every season confirms.
Two million bottles sold annually. Bos-
chee's German Syrup was introduced in
the United States in 1868, and is now
sold in every town and village in the civ
ilized world. Three doses will relieve
any ordinary cough. Price 20 and 70 cts.

CONGRESSIONAL.

The Senate transacted no business
yesterday after the executive session.
There was no abatement yesterday OF
the democratic filibuster against the
transaction of business in the House,
but by the adoption of rules which the
minority declare to be revolutionary the
republican majority transacted business
after slow and laborious manner. The
House was in session from / O'Clock
until nearly 7, and during that time
there were thirteen roll-calls, forced in
accordance with the democratic pro-
gramme of obstruction.
Operating under the two special rules,
the House sent to conference the agri-
culture, sundry civil, Military Academy,
and postoffice appropriation bills, and
adopted the conference report on the In
dian appropriation bill, the democrats
forcing yea and nay vote on each bill.
At Gas a recess was taken until ii
O. clock this morning.

CONDEMNED for Conspiracy.

Vienna, Feb. 2S.-It is reported that
two Armenians, both of them American
citizens, have been condemned at
Smyrna for revolutionary conspiracy
against the Sultan. One man was sent
enced to death anil the other to life i'm
prisonment. A newspaper correspondent
declares that the sentences imposed are
unjust in the extreme, and were passed
for the purpose of terrorizing the Chris
tain population. The friends of the con-
demned men, the correspondent adds,
have resolved to appeal to President
Roosevelt for protection for the two men.

to anyone

The DEMOCRATS in Congress and the
people of the country know exactly what
to expect from Mr.. Cannon when he be-
comes Speakero of the House. In the early
days of the present session he favored
and carried through the House
an unconstitutional measure, on the
ground that there is "higher law than
the constitution, and yesterday, when the
democrats were insisting on their rights,
Mr. Cannon said: "The republicans
are responsible for legislation; trust
you'll quit" We have the power and
determination to transact the business
here no matter what you may do" And,
with Mr.. Cannon as their leader, they
will, constitution or no constitution.
What is the constitution among repub-
licans, anyway?
