THE LEGISLATURE.
SENATE.

After a long debate the Senate, yester.
day. by a vote of % to 2, defeated the bill
providing for special grand jury investi'
CATION after each primary election. The
| fight came up on an amendment by Dir.
McIlwaine, of Petersburg, TO require each
candidate to appear before hegrandjury
and made report. Mr.. Barksdale op-
posed the amendment. The discussion
took a serious turn, and nearly every
leading speaker became involved in it.
Mr.. McIlwaine, who has from the begin
ming opposed the measure, said
"The amendment was offered by me
for the sole purpose of calling to the at.
tention of the Senate the absolute absurd.
ity and improperly of the whole situation.
II has fully accomplished that purpose,
and l ask leave TO withdraw the amend
ment."
The withdrawal was permitted, and
the vote called on the pending question.
The resolution showed that Mr.. Nc
Ilwaine had brought the Senate to agree
with him. Senator Barksdale, author OF
the original bill, and Senator Wickham
we're the two who voted for the bill.
Thus is cast aside a measure considered
all important in making effective the
Barksdale pure elections bill, and which
was fought through both houses up to
what was supposed its success.
HOUSE.
The House ordered to its engrossment,
after protracted debate, the Fulton anti
trust bill, rather drastic measure offer
ed by the member from Wise.
Mr.. Fulton made vigorous speech
in behalf of his measure, declaring that
the trusts held the people Of the State
by the throat. His bill was ordered en-
crossed, but there is little chance Of its
passage.
The House passed the Senate COM
panion bills designed to clear up the
troublesome condition in the counties
where the old treasurers have refused to
surrender books and tax accounts TO the
newly elected treasurers.
The recommitted bill, providing for
a bureau of insurance, was taken up by
the Senate, and again defeated. This
disposes of the bill for the session.
The report of the conference COM
mittee on points of difference between
the two branches of the Edmundson
bill, designed to improve the public
roads and keep them in repair, was de-
feated, and there will scarcely be any
road legislation at this session.
The resignation of County Judge John
r. Moss, of Buckingham, was communi-
Gated to the house by the governor.
Judge Moss was recently elected a MEM
Der of the general assembly.
The House agreed to the joint resolu-
ton from the Senate appointing a COM
mittee of FIVE members of each body to
select a site for the State Normal School
it is proposed to establish.

Refused a Special Audience.

Rome, Jan. 8.--The Vatican has in
formed personal friends of NJ. Sarafof,
the Macedonian leader, that the Pope
will receive him as an ordinary stranger,
but declines to grant him a special au-
dience. This decision kills another
hope of Sarafof and his followers. They
had counted much on the support OF the
Pope inasmuch as they considered such
action would have great effect in swell
ing the ranks of the insurgents.

BLOODY Conflict with Prisoner.

Trenton, n. j., Jan. 8.--One man is
dead and two are seriously wounded as
the result of bloody conflict that hap
pened this morning at the prison when
Charles Brooks, desperate convict, at
tempted to escape. The dead man is
Brooks and the others are Centre Keeper
John Fitzgerald, of New Brunswick,
and Deputy William j. Harvey, OF Tren-
ton. Brooks first dealt Harvey four
blows over the head with an iron bar,
telling him bleeding and unconscious to
the stone floor. Then he tore the dep
uty's revolver from his pocket and rushed
wildly to the centre. A "trusty" pris-
oner, who had seen the assault, upon
Harvey, at once pressed the alarm button
calling halfa dozen deputies to the centre.
The deputies reached the centre at about
the same time rs Brooke, who began fir
ing wildly with Harney's pistol. Cen
ire Keeper Fitzgerald, grabbing up a
revolver, started from behind his desk,
Just as Brooks fired at him. The bullet
struck Fitzgerald in the hip, and the
wounded keeper reeled half way across
the floor of the big apartment. Then
steadying himself he participated
in the fight against the desperate con-
yict. More than a dozen shots were
fred. Brooks had emptied his revolver,
but he thought one bullet remained, and,
with an awful oath, he placed the weapon
to his temple and pulled the trigger,
in vain effort at self destruction. Then
the deputies closed in upon him, and
while Fitzgerald and Harvey were being
carried to the prison hospital, Brooks
heavily manacled, was removed to the
dungeon cell. He told one of the
keepers that he had been shot and the
keeper in turn informed head keeper
Osborne, when the latter returned from
the hospital. Osborne at once ordered
the dungeon opened and Brooks to be
given whatever attention he might re-
quire. Upon carrying out the commands
of the head keeper the attendants found
Brooks swinging from an iron bar, hang
ing by his suspenders, which he had
noosed about his neck, although he was
handcuhed and apparently unable to use
his arms when placed in the cell. The
convict was unconscious when cut down,
and he died a few minutes after being
carried into the prison hospital.

Alleged Objection to Ambassador.

Berlin, Jan. Sit is persistently
rumored in diplomatic circles that the
recall of Charlemagne Tower, American
Ambassador to Berlin, is imminent. 1t
ia said that he has failed 70 achieve the
success of mis- predecessor, Andrew d.
White. and President Roosevelt is con-
WINGED that his failure is due to the fact
that he has not the power OF personally
captivating the emperor. Tower, the re-
port says, will receive another post and
Seth Low is mentioned as his successor
1t is said TO the contrary that the Kaiser
invariably treats the Ambassador with
unbounded friendliness and addresses
him as "Tower" without prefixing Mr..
or "Your ExcelIency." Mr.. Towers
diplomatic reserve, personal qualities and
style of living are exactly suited to the
requirements for the Berlin post, where
he has increased the prestige of Ameri-
can dill lomacy.

Immediately after the opening of the
Senate Mr.. Scott, offered a resolution
providing for the appointment of board
to investigate and report upon the practi-
cabiIity of constructing sea level canal

presented Sgures to sustain his contention.
At the conclusion of the routine
business, the chair laid before the Senate
all Of their resolutions referring to pur-
posed investigation of the postofice de-
partment.
Mr.. Simmons in attacking the motion

declared that the majority did not want
any further investigation, and that when
the resolutions came again before the Sen
ate in a modified form, they would be
voted down. ''Not because it is believed
congressional investigation would aid
the guilty." he said, "but because the
majority of this body is afraid to go to
the bottom of the corruption"

To Improve working of Cables.

London, Jan. SIT is announced to-
day that Messrs. Armstrong & Orllng,
the inventors of the Armstrong-Orling
wireless telephone system, have invented
a new instrument which they call an
electric capillary recorder, which has
been tested and has proven most eff
cient in enabling quicker and cheaper
working of cables. BY the use of the
instrument the cables are enabled to rer
ceiye from 400 to 500 letters a minute.
The arrangement seems Indifferent to
leakages and faulty cables.

No APPosfATToX PARK.-Secretary
Root has made an adverse report on the
bill introduced by Senator Martin, pro-
viding for the purchase Of the Mclean
property at Appomattox, in commemo-
ration of the surrender of the Army OF
Northern Virginia to General Grant
''The necessary expenditures for the
battlefield parks already authorized. !"
says Secretary Root, 'are, and will con-
tinue to be, so great that l do not think
that this bill ought to pass. The effect
of it probably would be to create another
park to be owned and cared for by the
government. The national government
cannot own and take care of all the
spots of historic interest in the United
States. / transmit herewith statement

tional military parks, and an estimate Of
