It included the broadening aPd extension of many streets, the purpose being to insure better protection against the spread of fire. as well as to beautify the city.
 In this connection. Mayor SchmitZ has advised against entertaining any extravagant ideas of Identification of the new city. He estimated that the replacement of the ruined municipal buildings. including school and fire houses. would alone cost S1O0. .000.0 900.

THE INVADE CASE.
His Controversy With Mir. Peirce, Be- ing Considered by House
 Committee.

Washington, May 3-The house committee on foreign affairs today lis tened to a statement by the former Counsel General at Canton. China. MT. McWade, in reply to charges made against him by Third Assistant Secre- tary of State Peirce. Affidavits were presented by MT. McWade to snow the unreliable and criminal character ot those who instigated the charges.
 The hearing was behind closed doors At the outset MT. McWade was given ten minutes, but his time was extended to nearly two hours and when ne had concluded members of the committee congratulated him on the showing he had made.
 MT. McWade made charges of a sen satiOnal nature against Assistant Sec retary of State Peirce. It is quite probable that congress may take UT the matter of these charges at a later date.

Washington. May 3.-This is the last day for general debate in the senate on the railroad rate bill and it was fully occupied Following a brief speech by Mir Nelson, MT. Tillman spoke at length in an effort to show by the criticism of several judges tha5 the power of granting temporary in injun ctions by inferior United States courts should be taken from them in interstate commerce commission cases and he was followed by Messrs. Ba- con, Bailey, Teller and Foraker, in speeches of some lengtn.
 Mir Tillman's speech consisted main ly of quotations reflecting upon the conduct of federal judges in differ ent parts of the country. While he was speaking he engaged in contro- versy with MT. Spooner. in which the Wisconsin senator characterized lis adversary's reference to him as incl dent" and during which Mir Tillmar ordered MT. SpOoner to take his seat
 MT. Bacon criticized the course o1 Mir Tillman, as calculated to produce a false impression on the country anC was in turn censured by MT. Bailey who held that while the office of judge is entitled to the greatest respect there should be no reverence fol judges as men.

While so do- ing. the bomb which Striga carried eX- pIoded killing him instantly. Sokoloff was struck by fragments of the bomb and fearfully lacerated.
 The police found a revolver in Striga's pocket.

Scranton, Pa, May 3.-Today's ses- sions of the miners tri-district con- ventiOn were unprOfitable except in so far as they revealed that the sentiment of practically all of the 500 delegates in attendance is for a strike. At the conclusion of the afternoon session. President Mitchell made a statement. in the course of which he used the word strike" for the first time since the present negotiations began. Here is what he said:
 ''The sentiment seems very strong against accepting the conditions and destricted arbitration schedule pro posed by the operators or renewing the award of the anthracite strike commis- sion for a period of three years. The strike feeling has been intensified by the unfortunate and unjustifiable ac- tion of the state cOnstabulary at Mount Carmel as well as their conduct fin other parts of the coal regions since the suspension went into effect Of course, it cannot be stated positively what the vote will be. That will not be Known until Friday afternoon or Saturday"

San Francisco. May 3.-No plan has vet been decided upon for renewing funds for this city. Various schemes some of them apparently feasible have been submitted to the general commit ice but none of them has yet been given even the semblance of ottlclaI endorsement, and the local hnanclers continue to worry over the problem, hopeful that the early future will pro- duce a solution that will relieve san Francisco from her great burden of municipal and individual distress. Each day. at the assembling of the general and finance committees, the subject has been I'D for discussion. but the dispo sition of these bodies is to be conserVa- tive and cautious, and it is probable that several of the great centers. of the financial world will be consulted before any definite proposition is formulated.
 Other than an early morning fire that threatened the safety of the seV- eral hundred patients in the Presidio hospital. today passed without special incident. The gigantic task of clean ing up the great ruined district was commenced today on broader lines. The curtailment of the relief list, together with the decision of the police to ar rest as vagrants all abIe-bodied men

 Although the water supply in the ruined part of the city is increasing daily there is not yet an adequate flow for use in case of fire, and all coOkine is still carried on in the streets.
