RATE BILL VOTE MAY q.
Amendments Will Be Taken Up on
That Day if Agreement Is Al
lowed to Stand.

Washington, May 1.-The senate
will begin voting on the amendments
to the railroad rate bill on Friday,
May 4. An amendment to that effect
was reached Monday, but it proved
impossible to so extend the under
standing as to provide to have it in
clude the fixing of date for taking a
final vote on the bill as whole. Sen
ator Tillman first proposed a final
vote on May and Senator Morgan
was the only senator to make objec-
ton. His opposition was sufficient,
however, to Illustrate the design and
the next most feasible course, the dis
position of amendments, was decided
upon. The general impression among
senators is that the final vote will be
reached within week from the time
of the beginning of the consideration
of amendments.
Monday was both a field day and a
''seed" day in the house, the major
portion of the legislative session be-
ing given over to the consideration of
the agricultural appropriation bill
and incident thereto the free distribu-
ton of seeds, which the bill does not
provide for, but which many members
desire to be restored to the bill.
Immediately after the approval of
the journal Mr.. Olmsted, of Pennsyl-
vania, presented resolution of
thanks on behalf of the people of the
United States to Gen. Horace Porter,
late ambassador to France, for his
untiring efforts to discover and disin-
ter the body of Admiral John Paul
Jones. The resolution was unani-
mously adopted with a further reso-
luton that Gen.. Porter's speech re-
Gently delivered at Annapolis on the
occasion of the interment of the body

appropriation bill were considered

BURN NEGRO At THE STAKE.
WHITE MEN AVENGE BRUTAL
ATTACK ON WOMAN.
Culprit Is Taken from Jail to
Pyre of Oil-Soaked Wood
in Texas.

Dallas, Tex, April 26.-News of a
lyching at Oakwoods has reached this
city. The dispatches report that a
negro was burned at the stake and
that as he writhed amid the flames
the members of the mob amused them
selves by firing rifle bullets in an eff
fort to cut off an ear or blot out an
eye and thus increase the torture he
suffered The firing did not cease
until the victim sank unconscious in
the flames. The negro had broken
into the house of a woman who had
lived alone and fought desperate bat
tie with her. His crime was discov-
cred and a possee was formed quickly
to capture him. The hunt was success
full, and the prisoner was placed in
the local calaboose to await transfer
to Palestine.
At first the enormity of the crime
was not generally known, and the
citizens were inclined to let the law
take its course. Soon after the negro
was locked up, however, the citizens
learned he had entirely disrobed be-
They learned, too, that his victim was
in a critical condition as a result of
his attack. Her death appeared to be
imminent.
The negro was taken to spot Sc
lected in advance and chained to
piece of railroad rail that had been
driven firmly into the ground. A fire
was built around his feet. The wood
had been soaked with kerosene and
the oil made bright blaze. By the
light of the flames the mob aimed it's
rifles at the captive and fired repeated
ly.. Before the torch was applied it
is said the negro confessed, but begged
his captors not to murder him. Feel
ing runs high against the negroes as
result of the attack of the mob's
victim. A race war is not an i'm
probable outcome, as the blacks are
equally aroused by the swift ven
geance taken by the mob.

Paris, April 2S.-The Franklin cele-
bration and the unwilling of the

ed to the city of Paris by John II
Harjes, an American banker of th&
city, occurred in the Palace du Troas-
dero Friday afternoon. United States
Ambassador Robert S. Mccormick, a
.Chicagoan, delivered an address, in
which he said:
''The spontaneous and hearty CO.
operation of the French government
has given to this fete the interna-
tional character which brings into re.
lief that chapter in Franklin's life
which belongs to France as well as to
the United States, and which l trust
will ever be held dear to the hearts
of the citizens of both countries.
I'm every land throughout the civ
ilized world days during the year are
set apart by one nation or another to

well as the birth of the great men
whose lofty character inspired the
ulSoCS Will dumlIdtl0t anu COuuueIlCc,
and whose firm and unerring hand
guided the frail ship of state through
the stormy struggle for independ-
ence."
Mr.. Mccormick then spoke of The
Hague tribunal and it's effectiveness in
averting war
But" he added, to-day the voice
Of public sentiment holds from or i'm
pels governments to action, and that
better acquaintance, that closer
entente between peoples which such
international celebrations as this
warm into life or keep alive makes
as never before for the cause of gen.
eral peace and the well-being of man
kind"
In closing Mr.. Mccormick praised
the efforts of President Roosevelt in
encouraging international friendships.
Ambassador Mccormick was fol
lowed by Prof. Albert H. Smith, spe-
cial representative of the United
States government After the band
of the Republican guard had played
the "Star-Spangled Banner" NJ. Bar
thou, minister of public works, replied

which develop as chronic In after life
could be obviated by closer medical
superstition of children's health. Es-
pecially defects in hearing, eyesight

while in later years they become too
confirmed to yield to treatment. The

ton have shown that a majority Of
the school children have either de-
fective eyesight or a tendency to bad
vision. 1t is now proposed to ex-
anime the school children's teeth al
so. This experiment has been tried in
