STILL A MYSTERY.
Wife and MOther-in-Law Ques-
toned About Burdick Murder.

Buffalo. \. y. March Mrs. Burdick,
wife of E. L. Burdick who was murdered
at his home here last Thursday night. and
Mrs Hull. her mother. were examined at
considerable length early today at a po-
lice station where they We're taken upon
their return from Canasota, where they
had attended the funeral of the muir
dered man.
Mrs. Hull was first questioned by Dis
trict Attorney Coatsworth and Assistant
Superintendent of Detectives Cussack- She
said she knew nothing of what happened
until she was called by the domestic in
the morning. She heard no sounds in the
night. heard nothing of any voice whatever
and awoke in the morning ignorant of any
tragedy in the house. She denied positively
that her relations with Mr.. Burdick We're
unfriendly and emphat tically. declared she
believed one in the household had any
thing to do with the crime or knew of it
until morning Mrs Burdick was next
questioned at length as to what she could
offer to throw light on the possible Identity
of the murderer. after which both of the
women went back to the Ashland avenue
The district attorney said after they had
gene:
We examined Mrs Huii and Mrs Bur
dick for the purpose of completing the
examination Of all those present AT the
house on the night the murder occurred
ard to ascertain from Mrs. B1rdick. if pos
sible who in her judgment, might have
committed such crime.

opinion that the murderer was a woman

Mr. GTosvenor then compared the

brought in a rule to concur in the 500

MOVES ON PARIS.
President ofWorld's Fair Board
Of Managers
Arrives in the French Capital
From London.
HE HAS A BUSY DAY.
Trying to Secure a Bigger Ap-
preparation for the Fair.
Many Will Compete in the Auto
mobile Exhibit.

Paris, March president Francis of
the st: Louis exposition arrived here
early today from London and immedi-
ately set about meeting the leading gov
ernment officials with the view of stimu
lating and enlarging French participa-
ton in the exposition The cordiality
Of the French attitude was evident from
the moment of Mr.. Francis arrival and
throughout the morning he was the re-
cipient of calls and invitations from
representatives of official and CONNER
cial life. Owing to his expected depar-
ture for Madrid tomorrow, Mr.. Francis
programme was arranged today. This
included an official breakfast at noon
given by N. I.agrave, the commissioner
of France and other prominent French
exposition officials. at O'Clock he will
call at the HoIeI De Vile and see the
mayor and other city authorities; at 4
p. m. he viii visit the minister com
merce. NJ Trouillot; at p. m. he will
be received in audience by President
Loubet at the Eaysee palace; at 6 he viii
be at the chamber Of deputies and meet
the leading deputies; at p IN. a grand
dinner viii be given by the minister of
commerce in Mr.. Francis honor and at
9 D. m. he viii attend the opera where
he will occupy NJ. Loubets box.
During the morning Mr.. Francis re-
ceived reports from his various lieuten-
ants. These showed the French status
to be as follows: The government has
appropriated $3.50, Geo. which is consid-
cred TO be Inadequate, and effort viii
be made to secure more money. Al
ready $100.o00 has been set aside for the
French building. 1t has been decided
that this shall be a duplicate of the
Grand Trianon at Versailles. where
Marshal Razain was tried and where
many Na90ieonic relics are deposited.
MIR. Francis hopes to secure for St
Louis some Of the principal souvenirs
Of Napoleon and is also desirous Of Sc
curing a further appropriation of $780,
900 for the French exhibit. The reports
exhibitors have already applied for
space, a number Of applicants being for
automobiles. The French makers have
already asked for space ezuafliHz- "a

also shows a notable advance. NJ

all surprising if the enemies of the ap-
1rooriation in the house win be able to
summon enough strength to defeat any
appropriation at all. Then the state
would be left with a commission and
plans for a state building, but no money
with which to build it nor money with
which to make an exhibit That is the
situation which confronts the st. Louis
worlds fair commission.
The bill as it passed the house pro
vides that the governor may remove
members of the commission. That VIII
place the control of the commission IN
the hands Of Governor Bailey It viii
be directly responsible to him. and the
governor will be responsible for the
the fact that Senator Carpenter -
scheduled to go from the commission In
case this bill becomes a law.
The senate amended the bill so that
the governor can remove only for
cause" This would remove the commits
sion from the control of Governor Bailey
but as it will do it's work under his ad-
ministratiOn he will be held more or less
responsible for it, although he had
mission as it now stands. This is where
the real rub comes.
Another amendment by the senate
was in reducing the pay of the commits
sionerS from SIS to $12 a day, but in al
lowing them to serve twice the number
of days which the house allowed. The
house placed limit of so days service
for 1903 and 100 days service for 1904
The senate doubled these figures I'm
der the house bill the commissioners
would draw a salary of $3.50 this year
and 1.500 next year. Under the senate
amendment they would draw 81 200 this
year and S2.4O0 next year.

Prepared for Purpose of Checking
Filibustering.


Washington. March when the
house recOnVened today al IL o'clock the
pending question was ON the adoption
of the conference report on the Alaskan
homestead bill
Mr. Richardson. the minority leader.
in pursuance of the ffnbustering pro-
gramme attempted to make the point
that q quorum must be ascertained 10
ne present before business could be
transacted. but the speaker declined ia
entertain the point and upon the de-
mand Of Mr- Payne the majority leader,
q roll call was ordered on the pending
question The report was agreed to.
207 TO Q.
Mr. Grosvenor. from the committee on
rules then presented a special rule to
put the immigration bill into conference
by direct vote and to cut OF the nre-
Nious question on the conference fepol Is.
Nh Grosvernor, briefly explained the
scope of the rule, and then Welded "a
minutes to Mr. Richardson (Tenn0. who
in turn yielded five minutes to MIR Tn
derWOOd fAla.). The latter declared that
the rule proposed to force vote upon
conference reports on appropriation bills
carrying millions after five minutes de
bate on a side He taunted the other
side for their inability to do business
with QeliberatOn. He also said 4 was
unfair that the immigration bill which
had been emasculated by the senate
should be thrown into conference with
out giving the house an opportunity to
act
Mr. Williams 6NIiss) protested against
the course of the Republican partisan
press in attributing the action of the mi
nortty IN the house to revenge against
the unseatiug of AR Butler. He said
the country should know that the situa
tion was broader than that The Dem
ocratic minority, he said, was not acting
In retaliation. II was teaching the ma
Jority that its rights must be respected.
j reasonable time had been given to
discuss and present that contested cleo
tion case. he said the minority would
not have been under the necessity OF
pursuing its present course Every con-
sutuuonal and parliamentary privilege
ne said, would be employed to drive
home the Democratic protest and if in
the tltty-eighth congress an attempt
was made to deprive q Democrat elected
by 5000 majority of his seat the same
tactics would be pursued.
Mr. Williams then turned to the rule
and ridiculed the employment of the
French phrase zen bloc" much 10 the
amusement of the house
Mr. DeArmond attributed the phrase
to Mr. Grosvenor. who ne said sarcas-
tically, had recently had much expert
ence in authorship. He denounced the
Republican for doing business on the
Sabbath.
1Ir. Grosvenor. in closing the debat,
