In a eulogy of Grant Senator German
declared that that great soldier upon be-
coming president declared against
large standing army in which he was up
held by another great soldier, Gen. John
A. Logan, who framed the bill limiting
it to 10000 men; ''yet here is Theodore
Roosevelt, little soldier of less than
ninety days, with dreams of an empire
to be made by him, who forced the
passage of a law increasing the standing
army to 100000 men and bringing the
state militia organizations under presiden-
tial control
another great Republican president,
Benjamin Harrison, thought we should
avoid entangling alliances abroad but
Roosevelt comes along and says: We
must get into this international game and
I'll be the head pin.'
"The greatest of all Republican presi-
dents was William Mckinley, and he be-
lieyed in helping our commerce with the
South American republics by treaties Of
kindness. He would have torn out his
right arm before he would have made this
country policeman to bully and rob the
| little republics. The Monroe doctrine was
dear to him. Roosevelt promised by Me-
Kinley's bier to follow in his footsteps,
and he has followed-in the opposite di-
rection. He has built up an army and
navy too large for the country and he
taken from one, Colombia, its most valu-
able asset. In doing all these things the
| money Of the American people has been
spent like water and corruption has crept
into the public service"

away on under side almost to seam

necessary gathers are avoided, princess

Attacked by Insane Man.

Egg Harbor City, n. j., March 90
In an insane frenzy Rudolph F. Sigel,
a son of Gen. Franz Sigel, attempted to
murder Mrs. Henry Irish aud fled to
the woods. Sigel was captured after he
had vainly tried to retain, his liberty by
setting fire to the woods doing much
damage. A child Of Sigel cannot be
found and it is feared that it has been
murdered by Sigel. For a time he was
confined in the Atlantic county asylum,
but was released when the physicians
deemed him cured. Mrs. Irish lives
close to SigePs farm with her husband,
who is recluse. The relations between
the Urishes and Sigel have been friendly.
For several days Sigel has been acting
in an irrational manner. Early yes
.srday he went to the Irish house
and found Mrs. Irish alone. She is
advanced in years and feeble. With
out uttering word Sigel produced a
large knife from his sleeve and attacked
Mrs Irish. He stabbed her several
times in the side and neck. Screaming
for aid, Mrs. Irish fed from the house.
Sigel did not follow her, but struck
across the fields for the shelter OF the
woods. Neighbors who heard Mrs.
Urish's cries came to her assistance.
She told them that Sigel had tried to
kill her aud indicated the direction in
which he had gone. Chief Of Police
George Senft sent several special officers
to take Sigel into custody. Before they
arrived at the scene dense clouds of
smoke from the woods attracted their
attention. 1t was then seen that Sigel
had lighted the underb-ush in several
places and placed a line of fire between
himself and his pursurers. By thanking
the fire, the posse managed to get in
behind the spot where Sigel was hiding.
He retained his knife and stood at bay,
calling on the police not to touch him.
A rush was made by the deputies.
Sigel fought sayagely, but was over
powered, handcuffed, brought to this
place and placed in Jail. Sigel was
transferred to the asylum this afternoon.

Virginia Oyster Commission.

The Virginia legislative oyster COM
mission, leaves Norfolk tonight on the
Virginia pilotboat Relief for Annapolis
to confer with similar Maryland legis-
laliye committee on the subject of joint
oyster legislation for the States of Mary
land and Virginia. There will be some
fifteen or more in the Virginia party,
which will be away until Wednesday or
Thursday of next week. The Relief has
been rendered for the trip by the Virginia
pilots. The work about to be undertaken
by the joint committee OF defining more
accurately the boundary line between the
two States in the Potomac river is Of much
interest. The failure to define the State
line clearly in the Potomac has caused
much friction between the police authoriY
ties of the two States. Violators OF the
oyster laws have been taken by the officers
of both Maryland and Virginia.

CONGRESSIONAL

Senator Hansbrough charged in the
Senate yesterday that the movement to
secure the repeal OF the desert land law,
the timber and stone law, and the
communication clause of the homestead act
was due to the efforts of lobby COM
posed mainly of the holders of lands
bought in large tracts from railroad COM
panies, who desire thereby to increase
the demand for their property. Senator
Dubois intimated that the pressure for
repeal was due to large holdings of forest
lien lands by railroads. Both statements
were made in the course Of speeches in
reply to the speech made Thursday by
Senator Gibson, advocating the repeal of
the laws in question. The bill making
appropriations for the support Of the
District of Columbia was considered for
several hours, but it was not completed.
The House passed the postofice APP
preparation bill, following a prolonged
debate on the paragraph affecting rural
letter-carriers, which, Thursday, was
stricken out, but which yesterday was
inserted under a special order of the
committee on rules.
Mr.. Daizell, from the committee on rules
brought in a special rule, which was
adopted, reinstating in the postoffice bill
those sections which had been stricken
out on points of order yesterday relating
to the pay ofrural carriers and to the pro-
hibition of their activity as soliciting
agents along the routes. Dozens ofamend-
ments were offered to increase the salaries
of rural carriers from 1920 to $500
year, and also to enable them to act as
special agents in the distribution of news
papers along the routes. Some Of the
amendments provided that the carriers
might receive orders for subscriptions,
and that the papers need not be separate
ly wrapped in order to be delivered when
postage had been paid at pound rates.
Every amendment OF this character was
defeated by viva yoce vote.
While a number of members we're
clamoring for recognition to offer amend
ments, Mr.. Overstreet suddenly moved
that all debate close, and the bill be re-
ported aud put upon its passage, which
was carried with a vim. Mr.. Moon,
the rankinglminority member, made an
unsuccessful attempt to recommit the
bill, with instructions to strike out the
appropriations for special facilities over
trunk lines south of Washington and
west of Kansas City. The bill had been
under discussion since March Z, and its
road to passage has been a stormy one.
At times bitter speeches were uttered by
members against the Postoffice Depart
ment and Gen. Bristow, and demands
were made for an investigation into the
entire postal service, but Chairman Over
street, stood as barrier against such ac-

be consider is whether the increase
awarded by the strike commission shall
be based upon the gross or the net earn

the presence of President Baer will be for
the purpose of offering compromise
upon this question of long standing.

Fire in New York.

New York, March ga serious fire
broke out shortly before noon in the base
ment of the building No. SO Broadway,
occupied by the Morris European Express
Company. The flames spread quickly,
soon engeloping the Morris building, and
extending to the two buildings adjoining,
Nos. 81 and 50 Broadway, occupied by
the Adams Express Company. The fire
was in the heart of the financial district
and created much excitement. Bankers,
brokers, aud steamship companies and
other business houses in the vicinity
gathered their books, placed them in
safes and prepared for eventualities.
Business on the Consolidated Stock Ex-
change, nearly opposite the burning
buildings, was suspended. Thousands
of spectators gathered in the neighbor-
hood, and it was difficult for the police to
control them. A number of clerks and
employees in the Adams Express Company
building escaped from windows on the
upper floors by means of ropes. The
occupants of the Empire building, the
twenty-four story skyscraper at a Broad
way, were ordered out by the fremen
and police. The United States Steel
Trust has its offices in the Empire build
ing. The double nine" fire alarm call
was turned in. This summoned all en-
gines and hook and ladder companies
south of 42nd street and means that 81
engines and 10 hook and ladder COM
panes would fight the fire. While it
appeared that the fire would be confined
to the three buildings on Broadway and
the one on Church street, Chief Croker,
who is in charge of the fire fighters,
deemed it ayisable to summon extra
help, as there was much valuable prop
erty in the danger zone. The fire at
1850 p. m. was under complete control.
Chief Croker said the flames would be
drowned out in an hours time.
New York, March 26.-The general
offices of the Adams Express Company,
Morris European Express Company,
and American Express, occupying the
five story building at so and 81 Broad
way, were completely destroyed by fire
today. The intensity of the blaze and
the fact that the fire was burning in the
heart of the financial district brought out
a double nine call, which sent every
fire company south of 42nd street to the
scene of the conAagration. No estimate
of the loss has yet been made, but it is
thought that when all the claims for ex-
press matter destroyed is received it will
amount to more than a million dollars.
After two hours hard work on the part
of the fremen, in which there were
many narrow escapes Of life, the flames
were confined to the two buildings.
The fire broke cut shortly after II o'clock
in the basement of the Morris European
and American Express Cos, at 6lBroad-
way Mayor Mcclellan and other city
officials came to the scene to witness the
fire.

SATURDAY EVENING. MAR. %. 1904

SECRETARY TAFT, a republican OF
republicans. but man whose travels
have opened his eyes, has warned the
House committee on merchant marine
against the FRYE bill to extend the coast
navigation laws of the United States to
the Philippine Islands. In the delib-
crate opinion of the Secretary this meas
ure, instead of promoting the American
merchant marine, would have the effect
of destroying trade with the archipelago.
This ought to be plain to any eyes but
those of greed when to protective duties
upon nearly all Philippine exports to
this country, except hemp, it is proposed
to add high rates Of freight under GRIP
pied and irregular means OF transporta-
ton. The Quartermaster General OF
the army and the Paymaster General OF
the navy also protest against the Dill
providing that all government frelghts
shall be transported in American bot
toms. They urge that this legal prohi-
bition will greatly increase the exlendi-
lures of the War and Navy Departments.
II is estimated that under this bill the
increased cost of transporting coal Tor
the fleets alone would be not less than
$3.50, 900 year. "But' asks the Phila-
delphia Record, "what is this compared
with what the cost will be under the
imperial policy when American war
fleets shall be stationed all around the
globe?" Still the House committee has
authorized a favorable report of the Frye
bill.

Ne,u York Stock Market.

New York, March 26.-The stock
