HOUSE.
When the House met today Mr..
Morgan, rising to question of personal
privilege, denied the statement made
by Mr.. Williams that he was paired
with Mr.. Shook, but, in spite of this
fact, had voted on Saturday last to table
the Cochran resolution for an inyesti-
CATION by the judiciary committee of
the House of the right of the Secretary
Of the Interior to issued the now famous
service pension order. Mr.. Morgan
said that he had no pair with Mr..
Shook or any one else.
Mr.. Curtis offered the conference re-
port on the Indian appropriation bill,
and moved that it be printed. In a
thirty minute speech Mr.. Robinson
criticised the conferees of the House for
having gone into second conference
with the Senate without allowing the
House to consider the first report.
Bills were passed ratifying acts of the
Hawaiian legislature Incorporating gas
and an electric light company.

Disorder at Gypsy's Grave.

Di9graceful scenes occurred at The
burial of Sibbie G. Riley, better known
as "Mother" Riley, former queen of the
gypsies, in the Hillside Cemetery al
Plainfeld, N. j., yesterday afternoon
Nearly 1000 persons crowded around
the open grave, blocking the way and
preventing the pallbearers, mourner;
and undertaker's assistants from reach
ing the place where the body was to be
inferred. Appeals of clergymen to the
people to make way for the pallbearers
had no effect, the morbid crowd pushing
and crowding with each other for good
position where they could view the burial.
Finally the pallberers, who consisted Of
the six grandsons of the dead woman, a
number of mourners and four under
takers assistants literally plunged into
the obstinate crowd and drove them back
Several persons had narrow escapes from
being pushed into the open grave and
not 8 few women became hysterical.
AS there were no policemen there the
mourners had to take the law in their
own hands and many woman suffered
bruises and torn dress in return for
her obstinacy in refusing to move from
the side Of the grave.

The committee, in its anxiety to clear

the conclusion that General Bristow had

might justify a statement made in his

Railway Property DESTROYED.

Buffalo, n. Y. April 12.-The car
barns of the International Railway Com
pany, on Main street, this city, burned
with fury that the firemen could not
abate, this morning. The barns, cover
ing an entire block, together with 35 or
40 cars, were destroyed, the loss being
placed at 5000, 900. There are some
indications that the fire was Of incendi-
AIRY origin. 1t began in the paint shop
and the wind, blowing from the west,
rapidly caused the flames to spread. A
number Of the cars destroyed were prac-
tically new and we're valued at $1,000
each. The railway company will be
considerably crippled in its summer car
service as many open cars were con-
sumed.

SOME interesting light was thrown on
the tricks of the salt trust on Wednes-
day by the testimony of Nathan 5.
Beardslee, one of the receivers of the
National Salt Company, in a case before
the Supreme Court at New York. The
case grew out of the auction sale of the
salt plant at Ithaca, n. Y, as decreed
by the directors, July rs, 1908. The
receiver said that the property sold in
cluded valuable brands and trademarks,
such as "The Purity Salt" When
asked if this brand of salt was different
from the other cheaper brands Mr..
Beardslee said ''they all come out of the
same kettle" The high price, he said,
was justified by the extensive advertis-
ing the brand got. So it will be seen
that the salt trust robs the people in
more ways than one,

Spectator Killed.

David Quirk, aged 10 years, a son o.
Mrs. Patrick Quirk, Of Martinsburg, w
Va, was shot and killed yesterday after
noon by Parker Teter, aged q, while
Teter aud another young man, Howard
Hipsley, were engaged in drunken
brawl. The shooting occurred near a
saloon in north Martinsburg. Hipsley
and Teter quarreled Sunday night at the
same place, and met there yesterday
morning and renewed the trouble. They
separated and Teter left and secured a
Colts revolver Thus armed, he returned
to the saloon in the afternoon, and again
met Hipsley. Hipsley invited Teter be-
hind the building to take a drink and
when they reached the spot where the
shooting occurred they renewed the quar-
rel, and came to blows. Among the
spectators was young Quirk, who was
standing behind Hipsley. Suddenly
Teter drew his revolver, and, with an
oath, declared his intention of shooting
Hipsley. Hipsley sprang aside as Teter
fired and the bullet struck young Quirk
in the forehead, crashing into the skull
and scattering his brains over the horri-
fed crowd. Frenzed with terror at his
awful act, Teter turned the revolver
against himself. Placing the muzzle to
his head, he pulled the trigger several
times in an attempt to kill himself, but
each time the revolver failed to work.
He then rushed from the spot, shouting
at every one he met, ~ have killed a
man ! have Just shot a man to death"
He was arrested and taken TO iail.

The Postal Scandals.

Washington, d. c., April 12.-The
much discussed and earnestly longed for
report of the Mccall committee, which
investigates the charges against mem
bers of Congress" report recently given
to the House through the committee on
postoffices and postroads was submitted
to the House today by Chairman Nc
Call of the investigating committee.
There are two reports--one signed By
all the members of the committee, re-
publicans and democrats alike-the
other, of supplemental character, signed
by Representatives Bartlett, McDermott
and Richardson, democrats. The report
of the full committee goes into detail iu-
to the origin of the Bristow report as
well as into the cases therein enumerated.
The list connecting members of Con-
gress with cases of excessive clerk hire
allowances, was prepared by Chas. NJ.
Waters, superintendent of the salary
and allowance division, at the request
of VIM. Z. Cochran, chief 'postoffice
inspector. "The committee are of the
opinion" says the report, "that this
request of the inspector was made for
the purpose of securing evidence
Justify the assertion made upon
1876 of the report of the Fourth
tant Postmaster General, where
reciting certain cases of allow
excessive clerk hire upon the re
dation of members of Conf
other persons, be declared a
similar cases could be cited" AS to
why the list included the names of men,
bers of Congress, which were not wanted
and which were immaterial, the testi-
mony is not clear according to the in
vestigators. Discussing that feature
of the Bristow report which charges
that George w. Beavers, in violation of
the law, made contracts with members
for the rental of premises, the report
takes up the cases of Representatives
Lilley, Wadsworth and Bowerstock, ac-
quitting them of all wrong doing OF
wrongful intent. AS to the list relating
to allowance of clerk hire the committee
declares that cit is not of the slightest
significance, either with reference to the
conduct of Representatives or any other
officers of The government. A scrutiny
of the list itself shows that in more than
nine-tenths of the officers named the al
lowances were warranted at the time
they were made. The list may have
had its uses in the Postoffice Department
with reference to the purpose for which
it was prepared butas to showing anything
with reference to misconduct of members
its relevance is not apparent. There
is no case in the list with regard to clerk
hire in which 1t appears that member
Of Congress did anything more than re-
fer the request of postmaster for clerk
hire to the Postoffice Department, or
to recommend that request for clerk
hire be granted" After discussing sew
eral cases in detail, the reportin cOnclu-
sion issues a clean bill ofhealth to men,
bers generally. The supplemental report
of the minority goes after Fourth AS
sstant Postmaster General Bristow more
sharply than the full committee,

ACCORDING to dispatches from Rome
a clash of arms between Austria and
Italy was barely avoided recently. The
revival of the agitation in Italy in which
the agitators claimed the Italian prov
inces still under Austria so strained the
relations of the two countries that they
were several times on the point of de-
claring war. Austria was indignant
when Italy protested to the Emperor OF
Germany, who, according to the triple
alliance. is the arbiter of Austro-ltallan
disputes. The Emperor decided that
Italy was wrong in not depressing the
anti Austrian movement, and that Aus
tria would be wrong if she tried to &C.
cupy Albania and thus conflict with
Italian interests. While relations we're
thus strained the Austrians at fortified
seaport in Dalmalia stopped and searched
an Italian steamer The captain of the
latter had refused to allow the proce-
dure, but the Austrians having threat
ened to fire on his vessel, he was forced
to submit. The passing Of the incident
without the crossing of swords is hailed
with satisfaction by all peace-loving
people. One war is now in progress
which may yet produce grave complica-
tions before it shall have ran its course.

TUESDAY EVENING. APRIL 70, 1904.

DURING the discussion Of the river
and barbor bill in the House of Repre-
sentatives yesterday Mr.. Clark, OF MIS-
souri uttered volumes of practical COM
mon sense when he said that the river
and barbor committee was made up en-
tirely of members living on the gulf coast,
the great lakes or the ocean. Seven
great States through which the Missouri
river flows or passes are without single
representative. He alluded to the ac-
QUESTION by the United States OF the
Sandwich Islands, the Philippines, Guam
and Porto Rico con the prete4t that
homes are wanted for our children. ."
And vet. he said, there is more farming
lands on which to make homes that is
oyerAowed and destroyed and made bar
rem by the floods of the Missouri river
than could be found in all those islands.
'1nstead," he vigorously declared, "oi
squandering money to hold the Filipinos
in subsection, to educate the Hawaiians
end to carry the mail at an exorbitant
price to the cannibals of the FIJI Islands,
YOU would better be taking care OF this
land you have got at home" Mr.. CLARK,
however, was talking to an audience the
majority of whom are bentup running
the government in the interest OF the re-
publican party regardless of the crying
wants of the country. What he said is
incontrovertibe, and appeals to con-
servative people of all classes.

IT Is now thought in some quarters
that the final act in the war now in prog
ress between Russia and Japan may be
similar to those which terminated the
struggle between Great Britain and the
Transvaal republics few years ago. The
Beers at the beginning of that conflict
manifested courage, generalship and per-
tinacity. and for time the English were
held in derision, especially by those hos
tile to that nation. Like all instances
where small nations with courage only
on which to bank struggle against supe-
rior numbers, the weaker, sooner or later
succumbs to overwhelming forces. Such
was the fats of the Beers. The Army Of
Northern Virginia withstood the assaults
ola powerful aggregation of invaders for
four years, until decimated, foOtsore and
furnishing it capitulated toa force outnum-
bering it dozen times. The Beers had
the same experience, and Japan, with
hall a million bristling Russian muskets
in front of her, may also soon realize that
she, too, is fighting against terrible odds.
1t is earnestly hoped that ere a sanguin-
airy land battle occurs something may
happen to bring peace between the bel
ligerents.
