XIX
Senator Mason, delivering his fare
well speech in the Senate, dwelt on
the failure of the Statehood bill, the
long republican hllibuster and the
coercion of the Flliplnos. He hoped
the republicans would learn the lesson
before it was too late and would &C.
cord freedom to inhabitants of our
lnsular possessions. Summing up,
amid great laughter, Mr.. Mason said.
"The Statehood bill goes floating out
on the Panama canal. The Aldrlch
bill is a chief mourner. The Philip
pine bill is one of the victims of the
slaughter. The pure food bill and the
pure drink bill, in mourning and des-
pair 60 down to the gloom--all marked
for thd dead house because the Senate
OF the United States IS afraid to trust
its own majority to do business"
~:
A veto most credltable to the Pre-.
sldent, but chiefly remarkable because
II disclosed the nature of a bill which
had passed both houses Of Congress,
was received during the closing hours
of the session. This bill restored to
the rank of Captain of Infantry one
Edward Bailey. and placed him on the
retired list where he would receive the
pay of retired Captain for the rest OF
his days. Mr.. Roosevelt's veto dis
closed the fact that Captain Bailey
during his career as an officer of the
army had been courtmartaled seven
times. He had been convicted of al.
most every violation of the regulations
of which an officer could be guilty.
He had on one occasion been dis
missed FROM the service and his sen.
tence com nuted by executive clemency
He had finally been convicted OF
drunkenness and embezzlement and
dismissed and yet Congress had vot-
ed to restore him to full rank. The
bill was introduced in the Senate by
Senator Burnham of New Hampshire
and favorably reported by Senator
Scott of West Virginia. AS Congress
is in the habit of accepting the verdict
of its committees without much in
vestigation the responsibility rests
chiefly on the senators named.
XXX
The Senate meets today to ratify
the Cuban and Panama treaties. Sen
ator Morgan still persists in his oppo-
sition to the latter and told your cor
respondent today that he would op-
pose it in Its present form as long as
his physical endurance lasted. AS the
remaining sessions of the Senate will
be secret, news with regard TO the
proceedings will be gathered with
great difficulty but the test of endur-
ance which Senator Morgan has set
himself promises to prove most inter
esting Ir is not believed that any
other senator shares Senator Morgan's
apprehension of the results of ratifying
the Panama convention.

PIGS DIED FROM HYDkOPHO 8IA.

A few week ago there appeared
in these columns an article about a
mad dog in Mifflin township having
bitten numerous cattle and hogs.
The sequel to this is that w. II.
Miller of Mifflinville has lost three
shoats from hydrophobia. One
died last Friday and one on Satur-
day, and he shot the third on Sat.
urday evening. These and four
others were all in Que pen when the
first one was seized, and he doesn'
know whether they were all bitten
by the dog, or whether some Of the
pigs were bitten by the others, nor
whether the four still living were
bitten at all. AS yet they show no
symptoms, but there is very un-
pleasant uncertainty about the
matter that Mr.. Miller does not Ell.
joy The pigsthat went mad would
stand OH their hind legs and snap
their Jaws and froth at the mouth.
Mr.. Miller says he does not know
what to do with the four living
hogs. They are apparently all
right. but he does not want to fat
ten them, because, if they were Bit
ten, there is no telling when they
might be attacked by the disease.
They will weigh about I25 pounds
apiece, ard he does not want to lose
them. He was i'll town OH Tuesday
and called on the county commis-
s;oners, but they had no jurisdiction
in the case. He also called upon
the Board Of Health, but they could
do nothing.
The remedy for losses of this
kind is i'll the act Of Assembly Of
1901 which provides that the funds
raised by the taxation of dogs, as
provided by the act of the General
Assembly, entitled An act for the
taxation Of dogs and the protection
of sheep approved the twenty-ifth
day OF May 1898, in addition to the
application thereof for the payment
by the destruction and dam
ages to sheep, be applied for horses,
mules, cattle and swine bitten by
mad dog or mad dogs, and des-
troyed or necessary to be DESTROYED
by reason thereof. Said damages
shall be acertained and recovered in
the same manner as provided by
sections three, four and five of said
act: Provided, That in no case shall
the value of each horse or mule ex-
ceed 500 90, the value of each head
of cattle, $40. 90, and each head Of
swine, 5000.
The sections referred to provide
that the person suffering loss may
complain to a Justice in writing,
stating when, where and how such
damage was done, and by whose
dog if known. The justice shall
notify the auditors who shall de-
termine the damage and report to
the justice, who shall make out a
cetifcate, and deliver the same to
the claimant to be delivered to the
commissioners. The latter on re-
ceiving the report shall draw their
order on the treasurer for the a.
mount of damages reported, to be
paid out of the dog tax.

Poison killed Mrs. Annie Null and
her baby daughter, Gussie, within 36
hours of each other at Seattle. Pend
ing investigation of the mysterious af-
fair E. C. Crowell who was engaged
to Mrs. Null, was taken into custody
yesterday.
Strange circumstances surround
these deaths. Mrs. Null passed away
Monday evening between $50 and
o'clock. The baby died Wednesday
morning about 80 O'Clock. Similar
symptoms were present with each.
Both deaths were sudden. In the case
of the mother no doctor was present
until after death.
Evidences of a strong irritant pOlS-
on were found in Mrs. Mull's stomach.
Her lips and mouth were burned, ap-
parentIy by carbolic acid or some sim
liar poison. The stomach was cramp-
ed and highly inflamed.
In the stomach of the child, to a
less extent. the same symptoms were
present. It takes a much smaller
quantity of poison to kill baby tnan
a grown person.
Coroner Hoye. DR. W. G. Booth and
Dr. Arthur CrOOkall performed the au-
.Opsy at Butarworth & Sons under
taking rooms All said that they felt
sure an irritant poison had killed the
mother. Regarding the child DR.. Hoye
and DR.. CrOOkall thought the same
poison probably brought on death.
The circumstances Of the case as
found bv the coroner and detectives,
are these:
Mrs. Annie Null was divorced from
her husband last January. They sep
arated last fall The husband was
anxious for a coroner's investigation
this morning.
Mrs. Null lived with Mrs. Crippen.
her mother. CrOwell lived and board
ed in the same house. According to
neighbOrs, there was some friction IN
the family. Mrs. Null is said to have
brooded over the divorce TO some eX-
tent. The husband thinks his divorc-
ed wife might have come back to him
had it not been for her mother.
CroweH was on close terms with
Mrs. Null. He is said to have been
very anxious to marry her. She Is
said TO have been less anxious for the
union.
Mrs. Null owned two lots worth
about $500 at Green Lake. They were
decided. it is said, to the child.
Monday night, according to Mrs.
Crippen, Mrs. Null suddenly became
violently sick after being under the
weather all day. In her mothers pres
ence she had a sudden hemorrhage
of the stomach; then passed away.
Mrs. Crippen and Crowell had been
with her all day, they themselves
state.
At about 7 o'clock according to
clerk in the drug store at the corner
Of Third avenue and Union street,
Crowell beside himself with excite
ment. rushed in and telephoned TOR
Dr.. Cunningham.
When Dr. Cunningham arrived Mrs.
Null was dead.
The baby was taken sick the next
morning at II o'clock and medical aid
was called. Drs. McCullOch, Richter
and Booth were present. There was
no hope from the beginning. The baDy
was unconscious all the time.
