ILLICIT RELATIONS
WITH WIFE'S DAUGHTER.
This Was brought Out i'm the syve-
ton investigation.

ton Investigation.
Paris, Dec. 15.-The circumstances
attending the death of Deputy Syve-
ton, who was found dead from asphyx-
iation in his apartments at Neuilly,
Dec. s, are developing into a domestic
drama of startling magnitude.
1t is established that the wife of M.
Syveton was about to apply for a di-
vorce on the grounds of improper re-
lations between NJ. Syveton and Ma
dame Menard. daughter of Madame
Syveton by a former husband. Both
M. Menard and Madame Syveton had
accused the deputy of these relations,
and a family council took place short
ly before M. Syveton's death, at which
violent scenes were enacted, M. Me-
nard declaring that 1t was the duty
of the deputy to put bullet through
nouncing her purpose to sue for di-
vorce.
This was on the eve of M. Syve-
toms trial for assaulting War Minis
ter Andre in the Chamber of Depu-
ties. The deputy foresaw the public
disclosure of his relations with his
wife's daughter and thereupon COM
mitted suicide for the purpose of avert
ing the disclosure.
In the course of the investigation it
developed that M. Syveton had been
receiving a salary of $1,000 as secretary
for Count Boni De Castellane.

STATEHOOD VOTED BY
SENATE COMMITTEE.
Was Close, However, and n Minority
Report May BE Made.

Report May BE Made.
Washington, Dec. 15.-The Senate
Committee on Territories, by vote
of 6 to 4, to-day authorized favorable
report on the statehood bill providing
for the admission into the union of
Oklahoma and Indian Territory to be-
come the state of Oklahoma and of
Arizona and New Mexico to become
the state of Arizona.
The bill is the one originating in the
House in the second session of the
Fifty-eighth Congress, but has been
amended materially by the Senate
Committee. The closeness OF the vote
practically makes it certain that there
will be a minority report. The oppo.
nents of the bill will contest its pas.
sage on the floor of the Senate.
Those who voted to-day for the bill
were Senators Beveridge, Dillingham;
Nelson, Dick, Burnham and Kean, all
of whom are Republicans. Senator
Bard, Republican, voted against the
| bill, together with Senators Bate and
Newlands, Democrats. The fourth
vote against the bill was that of Sen
ator Patterson, who was absent, but
| recorded as voting. Senator Clark OF
| Arkansas was absent also.
The most important changes made in
the House bill are the insertion OF
a clause prohibiting traffic in liquor
for a period of ten years in that par
of the proposed state of Oklahoma now
known as Indian Territory and the
elimination from the House bill of all
provisions with reference to suffrage
except the following:
''That said state shall never enact
any law restricting or abridging the
right of suffrage on account of race
color or previous condition of servi-
tude." AS passed by the House. the
bill specifically permitted the proposed
states, if they so desired, to abridge
suffrage on account of sex. The pro-
vision as to sex caused so many pro-
tests from women suffragists, that the
| committee struck out the provision on
this subject.

ton has reached this city that man
giving his name as Philip Mcintyre,
recently obtained a sum of money in

cellent fac simile of the signature of

identified Mcintyre at bank, and in
dorsed what purported to be draft
on a .LaFollette, Tenn, bank, secur-
ing considerable money.

proved to be worthless and investiga-
ton led to the discovery Of forgery.

HOWLED PREMIER DOWN.
The Parliament of Hungary Was in
Another TnmuIt.

Buda Pest, Dec. 15.-The parliament
tary truce has been shortlived The
session OF the lower House of the Hum
garian Parliament to-day witnessed a
repetition of the turbulence which has
marked most of the recent sittings
The members of the opposition em-
phatically declined to recognize the
new rules of procedure, and greeted
Premier Tisza's attempts to speak with
such a storm of invectives and other
noisy Interruptions that the sitting had
to be suspended repeatedly.
Premier Tisza, during a momentary
lull, got in a few sentences. declaring
that 1t was incumbent on Parliament
to stop this obstruction. At this point
the storm broke out afresh. The dep
uties rushed across the floor in great
disorder, amid which Liberal deputy
was heard to shout: obstruction must
be driven out with whips"
Yells of rage greeted the threat and
continued until the vice president sus-
pended the sitting. Shortly after the
resumption, the sitting had to be again
suspended IN consequence OF a renewal
of the tumult
At third attempt to continue busl-
ness the government, by a majority of
76 managed to carry motion sum-
moning Deputy Lengyet to appear be-
fore the Committee on Privilege for
disordery conduct in the House. but
when Premier Tisza again rose to
speak he was once more howled down.
Whistles and mouth organs we're
requisitioned and added to the deaf
ening din occasioned by the slamming
OF desks and the shouting of the depu-
ties, the whole opposition chanting In
chorus Resign; resign"
With folded arms the Premier stood
for full half hour. Each time he
opened his mouth demoniacal shouts
drowned HIS voice. Finally the Pre-
uler was Obliged to desist and the
sitting was suspended for the third
time

Cord to the Last.
Norfolk. Va, Dec. 15.-The United
States naval tug Mohawk sank at her
moorings at the navy yard
to-day. One of her deck hands,
who stuck to the whistle
cord, blowing signals of distress until
the vessel went down, was rescued
with difficulty by other members OF
the crew, who had sought safety on
the wharf when the tug was first dis
covered to be settling.
When the fireman of the Mohawk
went on deck this morning he noticed
that the boat was low in the water
and called the remainder of the tugs
complement. 1t was found that the
Mohawk was making water rapidly
and efforts were made to secure her
to the wharf and prevent her sink
ing. In the meanwhile the deck hand
held down the whistle and did not
let go until the boat had gone under.
No reason can be assigned for the
Mohawk's sinking.
Admiral Harrington ordered a court
of inquiry to investigate the sinking
of the Mohawk. The court Immediate
ly convened and heard testimony,
bringing out the above facts.
The opinion is held in some quar-
ters that the sinking of the tug may
be more than an accident.

A LOADED BRIDGE
WENT INTO RIVER.
Three Persons Were Killed and Five
Seriously Injured.

SCVtOuSAS AhJuEcus
Charleston, w. Va, Dec. I5.-Three
persons were killed and four others seri-
ously injured to-day by the collapse
of the suspension bridge across the
Elk river, which connects East and
West Charleston. On the bridge when
it went down were six children on
their way to school and a number of
other pedestrians. together with six
teams. The dead:
Mamie Higginbothom, aged II years.
Annie Humphreys, II.
Ollie Gibbs. Is.
The injured:
Stella Smith, II, compound fracture
of elbow.
William Holmes, colored, driver, cut
and bruised.
Henry Fielder, driver, serious internal
injuries.
Ollie Gibbs, Is, both hips and arm
broken.
Elma Tucker 10, both arms and leg
broken.
The bridge went down without warm
ing, but number of those who were
near the ends of the structure man
aged to reach land before it collapsed.
Those who went down with the wreck
age fell distance of forty feet onto
the ice-covered waters of the river.
The steamer Baxter broke the ice to
allow small boats to reach the scene
and rescue work began.
The injured first were assisted to
the shore and later a search was made
of the river for dead bodies. The bo-
dies of Mamie Higginbothom and An
ME Humphreys were taken out and the
search continued until nightfall, but no
others were found. Ollie Gibbs died
some hours after being taken from the
debris.
The bridge was single span, 500
feet in length. and was built in 1852.
1t had been known to be unsafe for
some time and heavy traffic was not
allowed on it.
The accident was caused by two
cables on the north side slipping from
their moorings. When that side drop
ped another cable snapped, and the
floor tilted and turned completely
over.
During the Civil War the cable at
this bridge was cut by Gen. Wise when
he evacuated Charleston, the bridge at
the same time being partially burned.
The same cable was afterward spliced
and had been in use ever since.
