ia serious condition, and several others
OF the rioters sustained slight injuries as
the result of riot at Wndber among
the striking coal miners last night.
The place is in Il state of terror,
Sheriff Begey hes been summoned, and
an appeal has been made to Governor
Pennypacker for troops The dead men
and most of the injured are foreigners,
and their names cannot be obtained. The
bodies are lying In the street where they
fell, the strikers refusing to allow the
undertakes to remove them.
The foreign element had been cele-
brsting Easter Monday, and much liquor
has been used. The streets we're throng-
ed all day with bOisterous crowd, but
no sign of trouble appeared last night.
A body of strikers we're assembled in
front of the Windber. jail discussing the
mass meeting that had been held during
the afternoon and which had been adj
dressed by three Catholic priests. The
discussion grew into dispute, and soon
there WAS a rector all fight.

peared. and number Of arrests were
made. All the prisoners Nere union
men, and their colleagues set up a cry
that they were being Disseminated
against.
The prisoners were marched TO the
lookup door, but there q mob had form
ed, aud an attempt was made TO take
the men from the officers Forced back
from the Jail door, the mob, growing
more violent every minute, threatened
the deputies until the officers fired. The
mob hesitated, apparently not expecting
the deputies would resort to arms. When
the smoke had cleared away and the
victims of the shots we're viewed by the
crowd there were cries of anger, and
soon armed miners returned the shots OF
the deputies The firing ceased almost
MS soon as it began, however, and the
crowd filed away from the Jail.

Fifty-ninth Congress.
Washington, April II.
SENATE.

nEN<A IL
The Senate today listened to remark
able speech by Mr. Tillman, of South
Carolina, 10 which he inveigh,d against
alleged corrupt practice of national
banks.
He urged the adoption of his dragnet
resolution, which directs the Senate COM
mittee on finance to investigate and re-
port whether criminal and civil prOsecu-
tons should follow the discovery, if such
be made, that national banks have been
contributing in aid of campaign COM
mittees; or have been guilty of irregu-
larities in recent bank failures in Chi
cago or have been paying Ohio county
treasurers a bonus for the deposit Of
public funds in their Institutions
Mr.. Tillman declared that startling
information had come to him and he
wished to fasten responsibility for non
action upon these who deserve it, Tie
cOntended that the publication OF the
banking system was necessary reform.
He sent to the clerks desk an article
charging that banks had filled the cam-
paign chest of Chairman Hanna, of the
republican national committee; that
leading democrats had been aware of but
had suppressed the facts, aud that Sena-
tor Knox of the Senate committee on
privileges and elections, was prominently
connected with one Piltsburg hank
which had contributed. These chargrs
we're made BY J. w. Breen. Ar. Till
man said that nothing has been done to
correct such abuses By legislation, as he
had been promised some weeks ago by
the committee on privileges and elections.
"When laid my charges of corrup-
ton before that committee" he de-
clared, "the members appeared to be in
a comfortable frame OF mind-they said
that of course there had been campaign
contributions, and they said they would
report my bill That was three weeks
ago. Nothing has been done"
Mr.. Foraker in explaining the good
intent of the cOmlhittee of which he is a
member, resented the insinuatiOn that
there was any attempt on its part to
neglect its duty.
The Senator from South Carolina dis
avowed any intention of rejecting upon
the committee tie said he would now
try to have the finance committee in
We, tigate but he had no greater hopes IN
view of Il approaching election.
He submitted letters of endorsement
OF Mr.. Breen by Mr.. Knox, Vice Presi-
dent Fairbanks, and Others which
brought an announ ement by Mr.. Knox
that MIR. Breen was Ga reliable and
honest man"
'DOes that satisfy The Senator from
Massachusetts, ?" dodge Mr.. Tllman
asked, having reference to an inquiry as
10 Mr.. Breen's standing.
Mr. Lodge said he was merely asking
for infOrmrtioD.
Mr.. Tillman parenthelically retorted

London, April IA great story Of
the doings of maniac is contained in a
story from Lisbon. The dispatch says
that the inmate Of maih0use at Torres
Vedras, which is q miles from Lisbon,

wounded the proprietor. The man then
rushed out Of the restaurant and slashed
right and left at people in the streets.
By this time, Il crowd had gathered and
followed the lunatic, who suddenly turn
ed and seriously wounded number of
his pursuers. The mailman next rushed
into house and plunged the knife
through the heart of woman about Is

taneously. He then ran up to the roof
of the house and pelted his pursuers with
tiles. He forced two men, who were
armed with pitchfOrks who had come TO

the street. Both were terribly injured.
Eventually the maniac WAS lassooed and

States The principle established by
the decision, which was handed down
By the Court yesterday, as stated in the
Gazette Of that day, is that State can
not grant divorce when but one party
to the marriage is resident within its
Jurisdiction. A divorce must be of s0ch
a character as to be respected by al
the other States. The effect of the
decision is to nullify all divorces granted
where both parties did not reside in
the State issuing the decree OF sep
aralion. This will include all divorces
granted ia South Dakota, where one
party has gained temporary resi-.
dence for the express purpose OF
securing separation, the other party
not having lived in that State. In
general way it will affect nearly all the
States, DEGREES being issued where notice

President Roosevelt will probably be a
candidate to succeed his successor in
1912. There is little dOnbt in the minds
of the Presidents friends that he in
tends To slicI; to his determination TO re-
tire at the end of his present term and
that no considerations will prevail upon
him to become q candidate in 1908. BY
the end of HIS present term, the Presl
dent has told some of his most intimate
friends. he believes he will have made a
host of powerful enemies, so many, in
fact, that he would be an easy man to
beat were his party to make him its
standard bearer at that time. From
now until the end Of his term, as the
President has put it, he will be obliged
to be every harsh to many interests"
however, by the time the presidential
campaign rolls round, in 1912, he feels
confident that there Will be general
demand for his candidacy. 1t Is said
on good authority that at the end Of his
present term President Roosevelt would
like to succeed Thomas G. Plat as United

more useful in that position than al the
