Massey, second son of the late John E..
Massey, formerly state SENATOR lieuten-
ant governor, state auditor, superin-
tendent of public instruction and one OF
the most noted political characters OF
Virginia, was instantly killed at Char

delayed southbound passenger train on

occurred at Maury's Crossing, two miles
south of Charlottesville. The passenger

rounded sharp curve. Mr.. Massey
was caught on the cOwcatcher OF the

son saved his life by jumping. One of
the two horses was killed. Mr.. Massey's
body was badly mutilated, the skull
being fractured, the right leg broken in
two places and the flesh torn from the

Fifty-Eighth Congress.
Washington, Nov. "a.
SENATE.

Immediately after the opening of the
Senate today the chair, in reference to a
ruling of yesterday, made the announce
ment that the constitution provided that
all concurrent resolutions passed by Con-
gress should go to the President for his
approval or disapproval. "To my
knowledge" President pro tenn Frye
said, "no such resolution has ever gone
to the President. How they have es-
capped the constitution the chair has not
been able to find out" Naughter.)
A discussion of the constitutional
construction and Interpretation fol-
lowed. The concensus of opinion
vindicated the constitution but held that
care in the phraseology of the resolution
would relieve it from presidential super
vision.
A number of petitions against Reed
Smoot retaining his seat as Senator were
received.
The Carmack resolution providing for
an investigation of the Postofice Depart
ment by the Senate committee on orgaDi-
cation and conduct of the executive de-
partments, was referred to the committee
on postolfices aud post roads. Mr..
Morgan, of Alabama, took the floor to
continue his remarks begun yesterday
in denunciation of the administration 5
attitude on the Panama revolution and
the isthmian canal question. He re-
ferred to the intrigue and cunning de-
vices and corruption that he said ever
had marked the progress of the Panama
project, and declared that Colombia
would prove a morsss in which our
strong limbs would sink. As Mr.. Nor
gan proceeded the Senators singly and in
pairs left the chamber for the restaurant
but he gave no heed to this or to the dis
turbance that came from groups of Seua-
tors in various portions of the chamber.
He charged William Nelson Cromwell,
the counsel of the New Panama Canal
Company, with having made another
war inevitable, through treachery, double
dealing, and fraud toward the Colombian
government.

THE FIRST of the numerous reductions
in WAGES announced IN the cotton mills
of southern New England and at half a
dozen points outside of that territory
went into effect yesterday. Seventy-eIght
of the seyenty-nine mills in Boston are
affected and about ascore Of outside mills
are included. About 80, 600 operatives
had taeir pay cut down, but no general
strike occurred. The cut averages ten
per cent. and places the pay schedules on
a basis with those paid previous to the
advance of March 1902. The Fall River
Iron Works, operating four print cloth
mills, will cut down wages next Monday
and on that day also nearly. all Rhode
Island and Connecticut manufacturers
will adopt the lower schedule. A cut
in New Bedford will go into effect in two
weeks. At Central Falls, r. l., the cot
ton mills operated by the Stafford Manu-
featuring Company were closed for an
indefinite period, owing to its supply OF
raw cotton having been exhausted. ltis
said that efforts will be made to sell the
plant at private sale. The mill employs
800 operatives. These reductions in
wages and laying-off Of employees, started
in the north, will, it is feared, extend
throughout the country, but such con-
dition of affairs, it is hoped, may be
averted, for little work and low wages
produce depressing effect in any com
munity, especially at the advent of win
ter when the wants of all are increased.

THELEGIsLATURE.
SENATE.

In short executive session, the
nominations recently made by the gov
erner were confirmed.
The Senate Yesterday heard a speech
from Mr.. Harmon, Of Tazewell, in be-
half of his teachers pension bill, but
refused to order its engrossment, thus
killing the measure which intended to
give pensions to public schoolteachers
who are now in the service.
The House bill to amend to make the
Broad Street Bank of Richmond State
depository, was passed.
The Senate bill to amend section 279O
of the code in relation to when and by
whom distress made was then taken up.
Mr.. Walker asked and was granted per-
mission to offer two amendments as
follows
To insert the word ''circuit' instead
of county"
To make the provision of the bill
operative on and after February l, 1904.
The amendments were adopted and
the bill as amended was then passed.
A number of bills, reported by the
committee on revision, we're engrossed
and then passed.

nit the commissioner of agriculture to

HOUSE.

Mr.. Folkes made speech fayoring
engrafting a clause in the bill concern
ing public servise corporations which
will clearly define what constitutes the
principles of such a corporation. He
cited the Southern Railway as an illus
tration, showing while its charter referr-
ed to the head offices as being in Richmond
it had resulted in perfunctory stock
holders meeting here, while the various
departments with 700 clerks, were in
Washington. If the amendment should
become a law it will follow that the
Southern Railway would be required,
under the terms Of the bill, to move its
department to some other Virginia point,
under the pain of forfeiture of its char
ter. The question is of peculiar inter-
est as it also affects the Chesapeake and
Ohio Offices.
A lawyers debate was another
feature of the session. On its
second reading at the outset of the
discussion was bill ''to establish rule
of ejectmeni and unlawful entry or de-
tainer involving the location. of reser-
vations within the interior boundaries of
grants and other conveyances, of which
Mr.. Newhouse is the patron.
Mr.. Leake contended that the effect of
passage of the law would be to throw
down the bars toland-gra bbers and money
sharks, and to reverse the supreme court
in decision banded down in the case of
Reusens VS.. Lawson.
The bill wasIadvocated by Mr.. Sipe of
Rockingham, and was finally ordered to
its engrossment.

passed.
