many cotton seed can be planted in
case we have dry weather for several

we hope to get a good yield.

were last year this time. The fruit

and arrested Hiram Bryant, wanted
under Indictment by the present

moved to Davenport. His arrest at

his successor, Rear Admiral Charles

The request from Growninshield that

Everybody discussed the incident.
Such an application from the com
mander of the European station,
which is usually considered, perhaps,
the most desirable berth in the naval
service, was most unexpected, especi-

Crowninshield sailed for Europe last

CANNON IN SPEAKERS CHAIR
knocking Out of Aldrich's Finan-
ciaI Bill-Other
Matters.

Washington, March 4.-Congress ad-
jouTged today with an unusually large
list of Legislative dead and but few
wounded. The long fight over state
hood in the senate and the recent
democratic filibuster IN the house
have had the effect of killing off al
most every measure of public interest
which aroused any considerable oppo-
sition.
As soon as the speakers gavel fell
in the house today the democrats CON
tinued the program of ilibustering.
After the first roll call Speaker Hen
derson yielded the gavel to Cannon,
the incoming speaker, which brought
forth great applause. Henderson re-
tired to the speakers room and
Payne offered resolution of thanks
to the retired speaker. The demo-
Gratis demanded a record vote on its
adoption amidst kissing from the re-
publican side and the galleries. But
II democrats joined in the dema nd
and the announcement that the res o.
luton was adopted was hailed with
great applause. Henderson was Visi-
bly, affected when he delivered his vat
edictOry. 1t was largely an appeal to
patriotism and was greeted with an
immense demonstration. As the
house adjourned the whole member
ship united in singing the national
anthem and filed past the speakers
rostrum to bid the speaker farewell.
In the senate Allison made a state
ment showing the total appropria-
tion for the present congress was ST.

43S for the last congress. He explain
ed that the increase is chiefly made
up of three items, namely: $4,000, 900
for the Panama canal, increased APP
preparation of $5O.OOO,OOO for the pos
tai service, and $57,OOO,OOO for river
and harbor appropriations.
President Roosevelt left the White
House at 1855 this morning for the
capital, where he remained until the
adjournment of congress. Soon after
his arrival the president signed the
sundry civil. general deficiency, naval
appropria tion bills, and the public

ESCAPES A POSSE
Feels Hard at FaVorite
Sister For Getting
Him Into Jail.

Hamilton, o., March Awhile talk
ing about the finding of the body of
Hannah Goddard yesterday, Knapp
confessed another criminal assault.
Knapp says lie is the man who in the
summer of 1886 assaulted a girl at
New Madrid Bend, on the Mississippi
river, in Lake county, Mo. He says
he was chased by q mob bent on lynch
ing him, and that he held big crowd
at bay with n Winchester rifle. He
succeeded in saving his life by flight,
making his way across the river. The
prisoner told his story without the
least display of feeling, and even
smiled when he related how he sue
ceeded in getting across the river.
Then he said: What will they do
with me?"
Don't know. Some say you are
crazy"
well, 1 am not crazy. l only get
those killing spells at times that's ALL"
Knapp then told of other assaults on
women from which he had narrow es-
capes.
Details of the Missouri Crime.
In telling the story of the Missouri
crime Knapp said he was hoboing in
Missouri in the summer of 1886 when
he stopped at a farm house, and a
girl about 16 years old gave him bread
and milk. When he found she was
alone he drew his pistol and assaulted
her, but felt so sorry for the little
thing that he did not kill her. AS
he was leaving the room he saw a
loaded Winchester and grabbed it.
Soon after he left the house he heard
the girl screaming and the dogs bark
ing, saw men running from the fields
and soon he was pursued by the
armed men whom he held at bay and
finally escaped from by forcing Il man
to ferry him across the river in skiff.
After emptying the Winchester he
gave the rifle to the man with the
skiff.
Recovery of Hannah Goddard's Body.
kilograms from New Albany, Ind,
stated that Police Chief Kuemmerling,
Charles Goddard, Edward King and
several newspaper men who went to
New Albany had started from there
with the body of Hannah Goddard,
which was found floating in the Ohio
Monday. Knapp is appearing to feel
pleased over the recovery of the body,
stating that he is glad it will have a
decent burial He also repeats that
he was desirous of heading the search
ing party. He has requested the sher-
iff to get a photographer for him, as
he wants to get a lot of photographs
to sell to the public. He is still alb
solutely Indifferent as to the conse-
quences.
Had FIoated so Miles.
The body Of Hannah Goddard float
ed $50 miles during the six weeks it
was in the Miami and Ohio rivers,
and had not Knapp confessed it might
have been disposed of without being
connected with the Hamilton tragedy.
Edward F. King, of Cincinnati, who
married Mary Knapp, a sister of the
prisoner, was considered one of the
men to identify the body, as Hannah
Goddard lived with the Kings before
being married to Alfred A. Knapp,
and the ring on her finger was pre-
sented by the Kings. The victims
uncle, Charles Goddard, of Hamilton,
who was also at New Albany, wires
