Pasteur Treatment Fails.

Pasteur treatment did not save eight
year-old Joune Dubb, who, after raying
all night in the delirium of rabies, died
at the Baltimore City Hospital, at about
81 O'Clock yesterday morning. All Through
the night the father of the boy sat out
side the cage in which the child had been
confined, as a precautionary measure,
and watched the little fellows struggles.
The boy was bitten February IA last,
and was Immediately sent to the Pasteur
Institute, where he received the regular
treatment, and was discharged as cured.
Dubbs death is the second out of five
hundred treatments at the Pasteur lnsti-
tute.

CONGRESSIONAL

The Senate yesterday passed the
Indian appropriation bill. After the
routine features of the bill hts been dis
posed of Mr.. Bacon again raised the
question of civil service appointments,
basing his remarks upon the statement
made by Mr.. Hoar Wednesday to the ef-
feet that Senators from States of political
faith different from that Of the President
should be consulted in the matter of ap
pointments to Office. Mr.. Bacon con-
tended that the southern States were
practically DISTINGUISHED under repub-
lican administration, and said that this
condition of affairs was contrary to the
intention of the founders of the govern
ment.
The House of Representatives yester-
day again put itself on record against
any investigation of the Postoffice De-
partment. Eight pages of the postofiice
appropriation bill were disposed of. The
question of an investigation Of the Post
Office Department was brought up by
Mr.. Williams, the minority leader, who
proposed an amendment providing for a
select committee of FIVE members of the
House and three Senators to make a
complete investigation into the alleged
frauds in the department. He tainted
the republicans for their failure to order
an investigation, and said the party was
opposed to it. The Chair sustained a
point of order by Mr.. Overstreet against
the amendment, and when Mr.. Williams
appealed, the Chair was sustained-199

The WORD has evidently gone forth
from the White House that there are to be
nomore Investigations during the present
session of Congress, lest the democrats
be given more ammunition for the presl-
dental campaign and Mr.. Roosevelt
made to suffer thereby. Yesterday IN
the House, as stated in the Gazette OF
that day. Mr.. Williams, the Democrat"
floor leader, made strong effort to have
committee appointed to thoroughly
investigate the Postoffice Department
but he was defeated by a strict party
vote, the republicans resorting to a
"point of order" trick, and all of his
appeals ellupon deaf ears. Thepersist-
ent refusal of the republicans to allow
the various departments to be investi-
gated is suspicious, to say the least, and
to many is proof positive that something
is wrong. In his speech Mr.. Williams
said:
What does a miserable little rule OF
this House amount to when you consider
it is the only obstruction lying between
you and a righteousness far greater
than the righteousness of mere tech
nical decision? The very essence and
soul of good government is honesty in
the public service and economy of public
administration. appeal to the country
to see whether the dominant party will
accomplish anything in this session ex-
cept stand by what the majority has
done in this House and ''stand pat''
upon its obstruction tactics. My pur
pose, and | state it very frankly, is at
this present time to secure a suspension
of mere technical rule to secure the
investigation of a department that is
absolutely rotten. l deny the conten-
ton of the leaders of the other side Of
the House that we are sworn in to obey
a rule. We are sworn in 10 do our duty
to the country, and when that duty can
only be done by upsetting a rule we will
not hesitate to do that, too.

Severe Storms.

One ofthe most severe storms Chicago
has known in many years passed over
that city last night. Great damage was
done in the suburbs to the south of the
city and considerable loss was sustained
north of the city proper. The storm
did not strike the business portion of the
city in its greatest force.
The storm in the vicinity of Indiana
Harbor was the most severe ever known
there. Three people are known to be
dead, several are fatally hurt, and at
midnight there were several others re-
ported missing, and they may be buried
in the ruins of their homes. A two
story brick building, known as the Bar
ker building, was blown down, and
number Of people who had sought shell
ter there were buried in the ruins.
A storm is said to have swept all of
southeastern Wisconsin and cut Racine
off from all communication to the west.
All the Wisconsin telephone wires are

wires of the Milwaukee road. Officials
report thatscores ofpoles have been blown
down and that the damage will be great.

New York Stock Market.

New York, March 25.-The stock
market today reflected the nervousness
which has obtained in some quarters BY
reason of rumors suggesting serious fric-
ton in the carrying out of the plan for
the dissolution of the Northern Secur-
titles. The published statements were not
alarming enough to induce pronounced
weakness, but there we're general frac-
tiOnal reactions at the start. Pressure,
however, was absent, and little later
the belief prevailed that there was no
serious controversy on hand and prices
slightly hardened. The trading, however,
was somewhat restricted by the feeling
of uncertainty which prevailed and price
movements we're confined to fractional
limits. The news of the day was not SEN
sational but it was evident that the
Northern Securities settlement was the
dominating factor in the speculation at
present.

Admiral Schley in Richmond.

Admiral Winfield Scott Schley, who
arrived at Richmond at o'clock yester,
day as the guest of Acca Temple of the
Mystic Shrine, was the recipient Of much
attention. Among his callers were Gov
ernor Montague, Mayor Taylor and 8
number of other city officials and promi-
nent democrats. Quite aSchley boom for
either the presidency or the second place
on the democratic ticket, was started
among the politicians in Richmond. The
hero of Santiago proved that he is i'm
mensely popular in Richmond. He held
quite levee yesterday afternoon at the
Virginia club and later visited the West
moreland and Commonwealth clubs and
at each received marked courtesies. He
was the chief guest at the Shriners' ban
quet at the Masonic Temple last night.
During an informal chat in the afternoon
he was asked whether he would consider
his nomination for the presidency or vice
presidency. He laughed quietly, and said
he thought it would be a mistake for
navy man to go into politics. He was
asked ifhe did not desire to get back
aboard ship these strenuous eastern times.
"Not on any other than an American
ship, " he replied, installing the mean
ing of the question. 81 could only fight
for this country" "But aboard the
Brooklyn, say, if this country became
mixed in the war in the east?' was sug-
gested. "That is a different story" he
answered. The Japs are very clever in
handling their ships" he continued.
"But would not like to say just what
their chances are. 1t is too early in the
game, and | know little ofthe Russians"

Vindication of congressman.

The Mccall investigating committee
completed its preliminary consideration
of each case mentioned in the "charges
against congressman" and reported at its
session yesterday. The committee had
been considering these in executive
session for several days. The impression
of the members of the committee, az ex-
pressed at the time in each instance, has
been recorded by stenographer. This
impression, Chairman Mccall states. is
not necessarily the ultimate conclusion
of the committee. Beside considering
each case, the committee has been
classifying the cases as it proceeded. 1t
it understood that many of them have
been eliminated from further considera-
ton on the ground that they contained
absolutely nothing which might be con-
sidered censurable. The committee has
not decided what the next step in its
procedure will be. The invitation to
members of Congress to present their
views on their own cases has resulted in
a large number of replies, which, in
many instances, have contained the in
formation that the member was satisfied
to let his case stand as recorded in the
report. In other instances additional
papers and correspondence have been
submitted that the full transaction might
be passed upon.
The committee has summoned no wit
nesses, and has not decided whether any
are to be called, or if any are called
who they will be. If Chief Inspector
Cochran werein Washington he undoubt-
eddy would be asked to appear before the
Mr.. Cochran is detained
in st. Louis indefinitely.

Joint Wage Conference.

Altoona, Pa, Mar. 25.-The joint
wage conference between the miners and
operators this morning ended where it
began. The operators insisted on the
abolition of the eight hour day and a
twenty per cent. reduction in wages.
The miners ask for the retention of the
present scale with a substantial increase
for pick mining rates. After long de-
bate the matter was referred to a joint
scale committee which will meet this af-
ternoon. 1t is probable that a COM
promise scale will be arranged on the
lines of the indianapolis agreement.

The Storm i'm Chicago.

Chicago, Mar. 25.-The storm of great
force that burst over Chicago and its
suburbs early last evening was one of the
severest ever known hereabouts. 1t
reached the proportions of a cyclone
south of the city, causing death and
widespread destruction. From Evanston,
on the north of Indiana Harbor, far to
the south, the gale played havoc with
dwellings telegraph wires, and trees.
The force of the storm was greatest at
Indiana Harbor, where three persons are
known to have lost their lives and several
others we're fatally injured. Large prop
erty losses are reported there and at
East Chicago and Hammond. The vic
tins at Indiana Harbor had taken refuge
from the rain in the two story brick store
building of Louis Barker. The building
was blown to the ground and completely
demolished. No one had time to escape
before the crash came. and panic fol-
lowed it. Barker, the proprietor, was
buried in the ruins, and was dead when
reached by the rescuers. A boy and a
man were also killed. Others were re-
moved unconscious and are not expected
to live. Indiana Harbor and Hammond
were both in darkness last night by the
destruction of their electric plants. The
new South Bend Hotel was among the
buildings destroyed at Indiana Harbor.
Washington Heights and Burnside also
suffered terribly by the storm, numbers
of buildings having been damaged and
others destroyed. But few persons, how
ever, in these places were injured. The
in Dauphin Park is serious.

HOUSE.

In order to make way for the post
Office appropriation bill, it was agreed,
when the House met today, to postpone
the consideration of pension bills until
tomorrow. Mr.. Dalzell for the COM
mittee on rules, offered a resolution pro-
viding that the provision in the post
office appropriation bill increasing the
salaries of rural letter carriers, and pro-
hibiting them from acting as agents, be
not subject to a a point Of order.
Mr.. Sulzer was unsuccessful in an at
tempt to offer an amendment to the reso-
luton, providing increased salaries for
city letter carriers.
Mr.. Mann (rep. Ills.) said that he
would move to recommit the resolution,
with instructions to the rules committee
to frame a provision that would increase
salaries of the rural carriers, but which
,.'omld not rrnhihit cnrriars from oofinG o.
agents.
Mr.. Mann's motion to recommit and
Mr.. Suffers motion to amend were
ruled out on point of order, and the
rule was adopted.
A rule was presented from the COM
mittee on rules by General Grosvenor,
Ct Ohio, making the provision creating
purchasing agent for the Postoffice
Department not subject to a point of
order. This rule was also adopted.
The sundry civil appropriation bill
was presented to the House by Mr..
Hemenway, of Indiana, chairman of
the committee On appropriations.
In committee of the whole the post
Office appropriation bill was then con-
sidered.
The provision directing the consoli.
dation Of all of the supply divisions to
be presided over by a purchasing agent,
at a salary of 81, 000 was adopted.
The provision for increased salaries
for rural letter carriers was next con-
sidered.
A chorus of members, all waving
amendments, was heard shouting for
recognition
<Mr. Overstreet was recognized. He
expressed the belief thatt the committees
proposition TO increase the salaries to
1920 and to take away from the carriers
their agency privileges, was the proper
one.
Mr.. Mann offered an amendment
from the bill the provision re-
stricting carriers from acting as agents.

should be placed on the carriers as they
