The injured man states that two negro

the house of correction to be punished for
breach of rules. He was conveying the
prisoners to the lower portion of the prem
ses when Kent suddenly made a Iunge at
him with knife. Gallagher threw his
head back to avoid the knife. and this action
probably saved his life. as he believes the
weapon would have severed the juguiar

guards, succeeded In overpowering and dis

Old Dominion Road Not Ready.

Hundreds of persons have made inquiry
In person and over the telephone IN the
past few days relative to the operation OF
cars over the line of the Great Falls and
Old Dominion railway. A crowd which
would have tested the capacity OF every one
of the six cars OF the company visited the
Aqueduct bridge last Sunday intent upon
taking ride to the falls, and were much
disappointed upon learning that the cars
were not yet running.
The last mile and half of the road Is
Incomplete, and should the company start
to operating the road 1t could only run
cars as far as Difficult run. No one seems
to know just when the company will build
the last section.

STATEHOOD FIGHT OVER AGAIN.
House Leaders Say They WIN Not Accept
the Senate Amendments.

WASHINGTON, March 1o.-The House
leaders are indignant over the action Of
the Senate yesterday on the Statehood
bill, and it was asserted that MIR. Hamilton,
chairman of the Committee on Territories,
will move to no%n-conour in the Senate
amendments. Thereupon Mr.. Baboock, the
leader Of the ~insurgent forces, or some
member Of the minority, will offer a sub
stitute that the House concur. This will
renew the fight on the old lines.
The House leaders declare that the sit
uation has not changed in the least in re-
spect to the attitude Of the House. and
that there has been no weakening Of the
Joint Statehood forces by reason of the
action Of the Senate. They declare I'm
equivocally that there must be two States
created or none at all. They express the
optimistio opinion that the Senate will
recede from it's position and finally consent
to the provisions of the House bill for the
admission OF two States.
The friends Of Oklahoma and Indian
Territory do not share the belief of the
House leaders that the Senate will recede,
and declare that that statement Ia merely
a bluff. The %insurgent and Democratic
forces express the opinion that the House
Will vote to concur in the Senate amend
lhChIS' lHcy point OUT tIHU many IV9-
publioans voted for the Hamilton bill under
duress and against their own convictions,
and that their obligation to the House
leaders has been fulfilled and they are now
free to vote as they CHOOSE.
On the Senate side the expressions Of
Republican Senators who voted to amend the
Statehood bill were full Of confidence that
the House would either concur in the Senate
amendments or put the bill to sleep.
1t will never go to conference" said q
Western Senator who voted to amend.
"A majority Of the members Of the House
are in favor of the bill in the form the Senate
left 1t. Now, that the Senate has amended
the bill, they will refuse to be further bound
by the House rule"

MIR. W~HITEHOUSE'S CLAIM.
Papers That May show His Title to q De-
preston I'm the Egyptian Desert.

WASHINGTON, March 10.-Cope White.
house has been vindicated. The Egyptian
Government has at last acknowledged
that, in spite OF it's previous denials certain
official papers to support his claim to lie gal
rights in a great project are really in exis-
tence. These papers are on their way to
the State Department in Washington, and
whatever else they may show, they will
at least prove that Mr.. Whitehouse has
not been the victim of imagination or guilty
of Misrepresentation in the prosecution
of his claim.
1t is not necessary to say that Mr.. White
house is a distinguished Psychologist
antiquarian, explorer, ira weller and biblical
student, who lives at Newport, r. I,,when
he is at home, in spite Of the fact, &c
knowledged by Mr.. Whitehouse himself,
that since he has been in Washington, three
persons have told him that they had never
heard of him.
Mr.. Whitehouse is the discoverer Of a
depression in the Egyptian desert known
as Wedi Raiyan, which in the time of the
traveller Herodotus was used as a reservoir
of the Nile waters. 1t has been commended
by Mr.. Whitehouse that with the expendi-
ture of a comparatively small amount OF
money this depression could be utilized
Go biNoS DtoLoRO .PtoSO ii VoeO hhS
when distributed in the low Nile season
over a vast area Of desert land, would make
that area fertile and productive.
Mr.. Whitehouse claimed that he had
perfected his title to this depression by
filing the necessary papers with the Egyp-
tian Government. This the Egyptian Gov
eminent denied. Then Mr.. Whitehouse had
the Senate call for the papers in the case in
the possession Of the State Department
and managed to have the United States
Government make more inquiries Of the
Egyptian authorities as to the whereabouts
Of the documents which he said he had
at Cairo.
To-day word came that the documents
had been discovered and that copies of them
had been forwarded to Washington. This
information came from Consul-General
Iddings at Cairo, who had been instructed
by the department to obtain copies Of the
papers relating to the claims of Mr.. White
house. The documents were mailed from
Cairo on March 5.

CUTHELL IN FAIR CONDITION.
Beating by Harvard Men Not seyere-Co.
lumbia Men Angered at Harvard.

The Columbia basketball players yester-
day we're inolined to make little of the dis
turbance that marred the basketball game
on Friday evening with Harvard. Cuthell,
the player, who was fioored by q blow from
Quigley of Harvard was around college and
except for a bad swelling OF the face was
feeling all right.
The peaceful sentiment, however, did not
extend itself to the rest OF. the student body
and the opinion was that Harvard ought TO
be omitted from the list of colleges that Co.
lumbia meets Because of the affair. At
Cambridge earlier in the season Columbia
met with very. rough treatment at the hands
OF the Cambridge team. This was 30 pro-
nounoed that the Hdrrord Crimson. the
college paper, made mention of the fact and
gave the home team a roast for mishandling
the Columbia players. Particular mention
was made at. another time by the Harvard
paper Of QulRley and the suggestion was made
that the team should disband rather than
carry him about the country as representa-
tive OF Harvard. ~
Feeling between Columbia and Harvard
has. varied from mere difference. to absolute
coldness as far as athletic sport is concerned
In the last few years. Columbia met the
Cambridge football team several years ago,
but after a time relations were broken Of.
An attempt was made by Harvard last fall
10 get a game on again, but II was fruitlees.
This year Harvard dropped Columbia from
the baseball schedule, The colleges meet
In basketball, lacrosse, fencing and in hockey.
Most Columbia men are not eager for q con-
tlnuation Of relations under present condi-
lions.
