FEDERAL Law MAKERS.

Washington, April 22.-In the house
President Roosevelt was assailed Bit
terly by Mr.. Kitchin of North Caro-
lima who included in his castigation
General Grosvenor, whom he charged
with having Inundated Theodore
Roosevelt, the vice-presidential candi-
date, whom in a recent speech in the
house he had glorified as a worthy
successor of William Mckinley. Mr..
Kitchin likened President Roosevelt
in this connection to the ant-hill TAX
ing, the place of the mountain, the
OWLS screech taking the place of the
tomb's symphonies, and to the minnow
taking the place of the whale. He de-
clared that the president had insulted
the people Of the south by saying in
one of his public speeches that
throughout the southern character
there ran a streak of brutal barbarism.
Mr.. Grosvenor admitted that four
years ago he opposed the nomination
of Mr.. Roosevelt for vice president,
but said that mr. Roosevelt, during the
campaign, had conducted himself in
dignified manner and had won the con-
fidence and esteem of the people by
his acts from the time he was elected
to preside over the senate and that he
reached supreme heights when he de-
clared at Buffalo that he would carry
out the policies of Mckinley. Since
then the president had grown to be
one of the great men of the country.
The general deficiency appropriation
bill occupied the major portion of the
senate's time but before it was taken
up Senator Gallinger spoke at some
length on tariff policy of the republi-
can party. Cullom delivered a speech
or the house Chinese exclusion rider.
He expressed the opinion that there
should be explicit legislation reenact-
ing the existing exclusion laws, but
opposed the remaining portion of the
house provision and moved to strike
it out.

Jennings Adjustable Shade Co. OF
Brooklyn Feb. is, pleaded guilty to
murder in the first degree yesterday.
lie viii be sentenced to Sing Sing for
life.
The plea of guilty was entered on
the advice of counsel because of evil
dence obtained by a New York assist
ant district attorney in Chicago. One
of the witnesses brought back by the
assistant district attorney was Henry
F. Cook, secretary and treasurer of
the Fahys Watch Case company where
Mcnamara was employed as assistant
foreman for 10 years. Cook charges
that Mcnamara stole $4,000 worth of
gold from the factory during the last
three years of his employment He
gathered the sweepings from the floor
and sold them to a Chicago jewelry
firm. For his last theft Mcnamara re
ceived a draft for $4,000. He was then
in Brooklyn and induced CAPTAIN Jen-
nings. who knew of nothing wrong in
the matter to allow the draft to be
deposited on his account in the Bor-
ough bank. II was then agreed that
should withdraw the money
in sums of $500. Later Jennings dis
how Mcnamara obtained the
money and refused 10 let him have any
more of it uRtil he had obtained his re-
lease from the Fahys company. Nc
Namara then made up his mind 70 kill
Jennings and did so when he next
visited Brooklyn.

tariff speech. Among the bills passed

master at Whitewater. Wis. The
heavy weights had another bout in the
house with Representatives Dalzell
and Cochran as the cOmbatants. The
speeches were a renewal of Saturdays

their character. AS on Saturday the
speakers were greeted with vCcificer-
Gus applause by their respective col

feeling ran high. DR.. Dalzell had Mr..
Cochran on the rack nearly two hours,
during which time he dealt largely
with that gentleman's political history,
which. he said, showed him TO have
been consecutively a green hacker,
sound money man and free silver man.
Mr.. Dalzell closed amid wild Tepubli-
can applause with a most bitter de-
nunciation of Mr.. Cochran. He re-
ferred to that gentleman's speech be

Cochran said. I'VE have reached a

Washington, April 23.-Two of the
heavy weight" speakers of the house
held sway in that body today Incl
dentally, a bill for a commission to in
vestigate the question of ship subsidy
was passed The feature of the day
was the sensational charge Of Mr.
Dalzell against Mr.. Cochran that he
had worked for hire for the election of
Mrkinley The announcement of this
charge and of the gentleman who
made it was in language bitter with
resentment and scOrl. Mr.. Hepburn
defended the president against the
criticism of Kitchen Friday which he
pronounced a bitter, yea, criminal
denunciation of the president, and
said that it was "a degradation of
the nation in the eyes Of the world"
Mr.. Hepburn turned his attention to
democratic possibilities and declared
that when it was seen that Mr.. Hearst
would be nominated unless something
was done, the supporters Of Cleveland,
German and Olney got together and
scratched their ranks with a fine
tooth comb and finally discovered a
man who had never uttered a single
political sentiment but who had voted
the democratic ticket; he was a friend
of Cleveland and had not bolted Bryan.
At once they said this is our man. 4"
Mr.. Cochran spoke against the policy
of protection ald opposed a ship sub.

HICKORY IS SCARCE.
Manufacturers of Wooden Vehicles Are
 Thoroughly Aroused.

Chicago, Dec. ,21.-IncreasinG scarf ty of hickory, wood in the United States has alarmed the manufacturers of wooden vehicles to such an extent that a meeting here today of over 200 representatives of these manufacturers the advisability of taking the matter before congress was discussed.
 Hickory trees recently have been att tackled by an insect which, it Is said, is fast destroying that class of tim Der. At today's meeting 1t was de- clared that unless the government took action in devising means whereby these insects could be kept from breeding, in ten years practically all hickory trees in the United States will have been destroyed.
 There are now but three states from which we can draw our supplies" said P. F. Van Behren of Evansville. Ind, and hickory trees are becoming ex- tinct in these states. The shortage of this article which is the most essen- tial component of a wooden vehicle. probably will necessitate a general raise in prices of all wooden vehicles
