In the Senate today Mr.. Stone offered
a resolution directing the committee on
foreign relations to investigate and as
certain whether NJ. Bunau-Varilla or
other people residing in the United
States aided or promoted the revolution
of Panama against Colombia and whether
any official of the United States govern
ment made known 10 him or any other
person concerned with that uprising,
what action this government designed
to take in the event of such revolution"
els the honor and good name of the re-
public involved in the transactions out
of which this treaty has evolved" the
Senator arked, speaking in favor of the
resolution. "Have we proceeded with
that wisdom, circumspection and high
sense of honor" he continued, chat
should characterize a mighty people of
our standing and pretensions in dealing
with other nations. If we have, then
we can go forward ~resolutely, and with
out fear. If we have, then I can vote
to ratify this treaty, with out hesitation.
But if we have not, if the treaty is
tinctured with dishoner, by our fault,

Mr.. Oyerstreet, of Indiana, chairman
of the committee on postofices and post
roads, reported a resolution calling upon
the Postmaster General for a report as
to the number and use of government
carriages in his department. 1t was
agreed to.
In committee of the whole with Mr..
Tawney, of Minnesota, in the chair, the
urgent deficiency appropriation bill,
carrying 81, 25l, 908, was considered.
MIR. Hemenway, of Indiana, chairman
of the appropriations committee, called
the attention of the House to the condi-
ton of the treasury. If the Congress-
brought in appropriation bills that were
equal to the estimates of the heads of
the several departments, there would re-
suit a deficiency Of forty-two millions
for the year. Three big appropriation
bills have been passed, he said, the PEN
sion, the army, the legislative, execu-
tive and judicial bill, aggregating $242,-
900, 900. In these three bills, only
81, 600, 900 had been saved on the esti-
mates. The House, he said, must cut
the estimates more hereafter in order to
keep from going in IN the reserve of the
treasury. He asked the House to help
in the work of cutting out all appropria
tons that are not absolutely necessary.

FIRE In WINCHESTER .-Miss Ethel
Smoke, Appointment society girl Of White
hall, Frederick county, aud a daughter of
DR.. E. B. Smoke, had a vivid dream
early Sunday morning, in which she
thought she was in a huge theater, which
caught on fire and resulted in loss of life.
She awoke to find the Good Templars'
Hall, near her home, a mass of flames.
She gave an alarm, but the structure
was destroyed. The high wind carried
the flames to other buildings, badly dam
a ling some OF them and destroying the
residence owned by R. E. Orear and
occupied by 5. L. Cave. The latter was
asleep, and was rescued when his house
was enveloped in flames. A. l.. Ander-
son was seriously burned In dragging
Cave from the bed. An entertainment
had been given in the Good Templars'
Hall on the previous night, and it is
thought a lighted cigar left in the hall
caused the fire. The loss will be over
so, 900 with insurance of 81, 200.

AN EXCITABLE PRIEST
Cave Rise to Runner of Attempt on
 Life of French President.

Rome, April 25.-A reply sent from Rome to Berlin, printed in the Tage- blatt of that capital and circulated on Bourse (and which also was circulated in the United States) that there was a plot against the life of President Loubet and that an attempt had been made to assassinate him, is without foundation.
 The report may perhaps have origin -ated in the fact that a French priest went to the office of the Italia, where, becoming excited, he cried that he had come from Rome to kill Loubet. The editor of the Italia sent for the police. but before they arrived the priest had disappeared. The police then arrested several priests but in them the staff of the Italia could not recognize the priest who had visited the office. All search for this priest has proved un- availing. Nobody, however, attaches importance to the incident.

Is the Bdttieship Better Than the Torpedo Boat?
SENATE MAKES INQUIRY
And Suggests That President Await the Result of Test Going on in the Far East Before Carrying Out Pro. vision of the Naval Bill.

Washington, April 25.-Whether the president shall order the construction of a battleship provided fer in the naval appropriation bill or wait until the war in the far east demonstrates the comparative utility of the big sea fighter and the torpedo boat or sub marine craft was a question raised i1 the senate today by MT Hale of Maln,., on the adoption of the conference re- port
 It was developed that the language of the bill was permissive and that the president and the secretary of the navy could delay action if they deem it advisable. MT. Hale declared that if he were the secretary of the navy he should not dare to go on now and com init the government to the building of an immense battleship. for it would not surprise him if the events of the Russian-Japanese war demonstrated that the s15O,OOO,OOO paid for the big battleships were bad investments for this government. Several other sena- tors counselled delay.
 The military academy bill, the last of the general appropriation measures was taken up.

KUROPATKIN Is SUPREME
The Vladivostok Fleet Breaks Out and Ravages the East Korean Coast. A Russian Movement for Harassing the Japanese Advance.

St. Petersburg, April 25.-General Kuropatkin, it IS believed in highest military circles here, is destined to be- come the commander-in-chi of all the emperor's forces, both military and na- val, in the far east. Admiral AleXieff may remain there for some little time as viceroy but this reign is considered practically ended. He will not be hu- initiated. but in order to effect har- ponious relations a way will be found to secure his elimination.
 While Alexieff and Kuropatkin are lations between Vice Admiral Skrydloff and the viceroy are considered iInpossi- ble, and with the three enjoying inde- pendent commands, it Is realized that friction ultimately would be bound to arise which might endanger successful operations. Skrydloff and Kuropatkin on the contrary are warm personal friends.
 With AleXieff removed from the the ater of war and in view of the patent CT of both army and navy on the ground, as well as to secure perfect harmony, Vice Admiral Skrydloff, be- cause of the minor role his fleet will play, has already expressed his willing ness to accept the post of commander of the naval forces under General Kur- opatkin as commander-in-chief.

A HUNDRED TOMB
Burial Place of the Living
 StOnS DeSeCrdted
Bones of Woman Famous a Half Gen. tury Ago for Her Wealth and Beauty Carried Off.

New York. April 25.-A special dis patch to the World from Hudson, N. Y, says: The family tomb of the Liv ingstons. on the ancient Livingston Manor place, was broken open on Sat urday night and robbed of it's dead.
 The body of the wife of Gen. Henry w. Livingston F'ighting Harry) fla nous a half century ago for her beauty, wealth and social prestige, was taken away. The metallic coffin in which the body was sealed forty-five years ago. was also carried off.
 That in which General Livingston was laid a quarter of a century earlier was demolished and the bones of the dead soldier were strewn about the vault. The winding sheet in which he was wrapped was thrown upon the marble floor and partially covered the skull.
 The third coffin with the body it con- tained is gone completely as is that of Mrs. Livingston. The identity of the oc- cupant of this casket is not yet known. All of the other collins in the vault had been opened and the bones of the oc- cupants had been dumped out.

NO BAIL FOR MOVER
The Colorado Supreme
 Court So Says
Nationl Guard Officers Given Tempo. rary Relief From Judge Stevens Judgment of Contempt of Court.

Denver. April 25.-The state supreme court today denied the motion for re- lease on bail of Charles H. Mover. president of the Western Federation of Miners, pending a decision in habeas corpus proceedings in his behalf.
 The point in the opinion delivered by the supreme court today is that the admission of Mover to bail before the court had determined the nature of Movers part in the acts of insurrec- tion in San Miguel county as charged by Governor Peabody, would be a legitimate invasion of the province of the executive department and this the court restrained from doing, by funda- mental law.
 The hearing on the merits of the case is set for May 5. Meantime Mover will be held as a prisoner in the mill itary bull pen at Telluride.
 The court also granted the applica- tion of Adjutant General Bell and Captain Bul:eley Wells for a writ supersedeas to stay the execution of the judgment of District Judge Theron Stevens declaring Bell and Wells in contempt of court and fining them $500 each for failing to produce the per- son of Mover in court under a writ of habeas corpus issued by Stevens. The judgment is rendered imperative until the case can be argued on its merits on the appeal of Bell and Wells. The applicants are required to furnish bonds in the sum of s2,O0O.

PORT ARTHUR IS GAY.
It's Inhabitants Have Confidence in it's
 lmPregnability.

Port Arthur April 25.-All the weak points on the land and sea sides here have been so strengthened in that last two months that the impregnability of Port Arthur is absolutely assured. The garrison is considerably strengthened and the forts provided with all the ne- cessites for more than Q year. Com plete confidence prevails among the troops, sailors and inhabitants of the ability of the Russians to defeat any Japanese attack. There is little to in dicate that the town is in a state of siege. The band plays on the bouleva' d. finely dressed people stroll about and groups of people play. All night. how ever. the city is in perfect darkness. which is emphasized by the search lights flashing across the roadstead.
 The entrance to the harbor, though studded with nine Japanese wrecks. remains perfectly free. The founder ing of the Petropavolovsk is regarded as q tragic mischance. without influ- ence on the course of the campaign, in preventing the Russian fleet from still achieving brilliant results. At each successive bambardment the Jap anese fire becomes less vigorous. Their ships remain out of range of the bat teries and evidently do not intend to be drawn into battle.

THE VLADIVOSToK FLEET.
its Sudden Appearance Along the
 Korean Coast.

Toko, April 25.-The Russian Vladi- vostok squadron, after long period of inactivity. suddenly appeared off Gen san, on the east coast of Korea this morning and sunk the Goyo Maru, a hundred tons. The Russian arrival at Gensan created consternation to the unprotected Japanese colony there. It is thought in Tokio that this Rus sian naval movement is made in the hope of intercepting unprotected Jap anese troopshirs. It is not believed that the squadron will remain at Gen san long.
 The Vladivostok squadron consists of the cruisers Rossia, Gromoboi, Rurik and Bogatyr. The last d pro- tected cruiser. the others armored cruisers. Gensan is about $50 miles southwest of Vladivostok.
 The cruisers Rossia and Gromoboi. participated in the attack. They were accompanied by a third cruiser not yet identified and by two torpedo boats. Later they entered the harbor, ordered the crews of the Goyo Maru ashore and then sunk her. A detach- ment of marines landed but was re- called and the warships steamed out side of the harbor. The Japanese and many Koreans fled when the Russians approached. Late telegrams say the Russian squadron remains off the har- bor of Gensan.

A MOST GIGANTIC STRIKE
All Hungary May be Put Under Mar

Vienna, April 25.-The Hungarian sit uation is regarded here as alarming. Socialists threaten to proclaim a gener- al strike and in such an event it is stat ed in political circles that Count Tisza, the Hungarian premiar, will put the whole kingdom under martial law. Five thousand teamsters at Budapest, 16.OO0 wcrkmen at Debreezin, the chief town of the Haiduck district, and large mum Der at Szgedin, the capital of the coun- ty of Congrad, are now on strike.
 Troubles are also feared in other towns. Eight of the persons wounded in the disorders at Fled yesterday have died. Rioting, plundering and incen- diarism were begun in some of the neighboring villages today but the mill itary was called out and speedily sup pressed the disturbances.
