BIDS FOR the 13, 00O-ton battleships
Idahl and Mississippi were opened at
the navy department yesterday. The
Newport News Shipbuilding Com
pany made the lowest bid for one
vessel, SO, l47, 900, but the Cramp Com
pany of Philadelphia bid SO, 200, 900 for
one, or 81, 999, 500 for each of two, and it
is intimated that the last named COM
pany will be given the contract. Under
the law, the Newport News company,
which was awarded the contract for one
of the three 16, O00-ton battleships au-
thorized by the same act of Congress,
could only bid on one of the 3,OO0-ton
ships. This company, as stated above,
offered to build one ship for SO, 147, 600,
and in all justice should he given the
contract, for in all probability had the
Virginia company been allowed to bid
on both, its bid for the two would have
been lower than its competitor.

home, as claimed by the prosecution,
but that she was murdered at a road
house, between this city and Bethlehem,
six miles away. The testimony given
today was not of a material or interest
ing nature.

sATUR A, EVENING, JAN. 10. lS'4

Tr wouLp seem to the ordinary lay
an that there is a disposition on the
part of Great Britain to make a cat
paw, or, more properly, a scarecrow
out of the United States by warning
Russia against infringement of the treaty
ri rhts of the United States with China
should hostilities occur between Russia
and Japan. 1t is a well-known TACT
that England is as vitality interested IN
a commercial sense as the United States
in affairs now in progress in the lar
East. but England throws out no menace
to Russia, though she warns her to De-
ware of any overt act which would incur
the resentment OF the United States.
DISPATCHES from London say that 'the
interest of the United States in the Crisis
continues to be the subject OF a great
deal of discussion, and it is considered
impossible that Russia viii attempt to
thwart the treaty rights of the United
States" The London Standard says 4;
Although the most formal engage
ments may be violated with impunity 10
dealing with the Manchu Emperor, the
President of the United States cannot
be treated cavalierly. 1t would be lar
too hazardous a game and too likely TO
end in humiliating complications.
The London Daily News, 10 an edl-
torial on the same subject, says that
Russia must "grin and bear it," That
treaty rights in Manchuria should be
respected is, of course, acknowledged,
and the Russian Minister at Washing
ton a few days ago officially notified
Secretary Hay of the purpose OF his
government not to interfere in any man
ner with existing conditions so far as
the relations between the United States
and China are concerned.

In THE House of Delegates yesterday
a member offered a joint resolution pro-
yiding for a recess after the legislature
shall have been in session for 30 days
after January u, 1904, to January IL,
1905. His reason for this measure is
the fact that the last Legislature passed
a mass of new aud untried laws that
will have been tested in twelve months,
and, as is always the case, time will de-
monstrate the necessity for change in
some of them. The regular biennial
session would not NEE until 1906; hence
his plan of recess 10 1905. The resolu-
ton is a good one, but 6 better one
would be to adjourn sine die after a
thirty days session. The people OF
Virginia have had enough of constitu-
tional conventions and legislatures dur
ing the past four years to last them for a
long time.

his fires and joined the crowd IN w"nde
ing what it meant, but later he old a

TELLER AND THE PRESIDENT.

After the passage of number OF minor
measures yesterday the German Panama
resolution was laid before the Senate.
Before anyone was recognized to speak
0 . the resolution Mr., German offered a
number of amendments striking out the
word ''intervention" whereeyeri it appears
thus modifying the resolution so as to
make it an inquiry of the President con-
corning the use of the American military
| forces in the Isthmus OF Panama
Mr.. Cullom them in view OF 1.-THE amend
ments to the resolution, withdrew his
motion to refer the resolution to the COM
mittee on foreign relations, and said he
was willing to have it voted upon.
Mr.. Lodge, however, asked to have the
resolution as amended printed and laid
over for another day, and that order was
made.
Mr.. Teller then addressed the Senate
on the canal question, saying that he be-
lieyed the subject should be treated from
a non-partisan standpoint. Hethought,
however. that whenever the President
transcribed his duty the fact should be
pointed out.
In the present instance he did not
doubt the good intentions of the Presi-
dent, but he was distrustful of his wis
dom in what he had done. His objec-
ton was not, he said, based upon any
fear of war with Colombia, because
Colombia had shown that she was too
wise to enter into a conflict of arms with
the United States.
He had no complaint to make against
Panama, for he thought the people OF
that country had the right to enter upon
a revolution. Indeed, he thought if he
had lived in Panama he would have
been a rebel himself. This right of the
Panamanians did not, however, alter
the duty of the United States to remain
neutral.
He laid down the rule that there
should be recognition of a new State
coming into existence by secession only
when the new power has established its
capacity to maintain its status indepen-
dent of the mother country, and he
cited many instances and quoted a num-
Der of authorities in support o fthis posi-
ton. There should be no interference
so long as there was a likelihood of the
success of the parent State.
Mr.. Teller took issue with the Presi-
dents declaration that the course pur-
sued in Panama had been in the inter-
est of collective civilization" That,
be said, was a dangerous doctrine, and
was Just such a doctrine as Russia might
appeal to if she should attempt to crush
Japan. The doctrine was not Ameri-
can; it was contrary to all the best
traditions of this country. 1t was the
doctrine that might makes right. He
discussed the government of Panama,
declaring it to be unrepublican in form.
and was interrupted by Mr.. Spooner,
who said that it had been a ''mooted
question as to whether there is a republic
can form of government in Colorado"
off" responded MI. Teller, 'there is
not a republican form of government in
Colorado, there is a republican admins
tratiOn there
When Mr.. Teller ceased speaking the
Senators passed a large number of pri-
vate pension bills.

MURDER n SUICIDE.

Rendered insane by illness, Edward X.
Lands, a widely known expert chemist,
yesterday, in Philadelphia, shot and kill
ed his wife, Emma, and then ended his
own life with the same weapon. Mr.
Lands had been a sufferer from asthma
for many years. Two months ago he
was compelled to give up his laboratory
work, and had been confined to his bed
for the past two weeks. Yesterday Mrs.
Lands, with her sister, Mrs. II. w.
Potts, and Mrs. Patton, a dressmaker,
were in the room adjoining the apart
ment occupied by Mr.. Lands. The sick
man called to his wife, complaining that
the ringing of the doorbell annoyed him.
She entered his room, and had barely
stepped through the doorway when Mr..
Lands, raising himself in bedand reach
ing under the pillow, drew forth a re-
volver. He fired upon his wife, the
bullet taking effect in her breast. She
screamed and fed to the adjoining room,
her husband following. Mrs. Potts and
Mrs. Patton attempted to disarm the
frenzied man, but he brushed them
aside. Grasping Mrs. Lands by the
hair, he pulled her forcible backward
and shot her through the temple. The
woman died instantly. Mr.. Lands has
tened back to his own room, where he
shot himselfin the head, ending his own
life. Mr.. Lands was SO years Of age,
and his wife about As years old.
