 Senator German was vigorously opposed to the acquisition of the Philippines and fought the ratifica- tion of the Paris treaty with all the force he possessed.
 Knowing that strong pressure was being exerted on democrats who were standing with him he urged an early vote, while friends of the treaty held back until the necessary two- thirds of the senators were secured.
 Conforming extrayagance in pub lie expenditures, Senator Germans pleas for economy voiced the views of his party that less money should be spent for big ships and more for river and harbor- improvements.
 The senate adjourned without doing any business out of respect to the memory of the late Senator Cor man.

GENERAL MILES IS
 NOT SURPRISED Packing House Disclosures no News to Him as He Knew About
 It Years Ago.
SOLDIERS ARE NOW DEAD
Who Lost their Lives Through Eating Impure and Poisonous
 Meats So General Miles Says.

Kansas City, June 4.-General Nell son 4. Miles, on his way to Colorado, last night said:
 "The disclosures about packing house products now being plotted are no news to me. I knew 1t seven years ago. I told what I knew then. Had the matter been taken up at that time thousands of lives would have been saved.
 T believe that 5000 United States soldiers lost their lives because of adulteratcd, impure poisonous meat. There is no way of estimating the number of soldiers whose health was ruined by eating impure food
 Il have barrel of testimony on the subject in the way of afiidavits that collected when I made my investi- gation seven years ago. At that time could have secured the testimony of 100000 men that the canned beef sold to the army was impure, adulter- ated and unwholesome.
 "In my investigation of 'embalmed' beef during the SpanishAmerican war. found poisons were used to preserve meat"
 General Miles said that reports had been submitted to him and added:
 T turned the reports over to the war department and white washing investigation was instituted and sue cessfully carried. The official report ros that a scoIoccoI orror had hoou made. As matter of fact. It was colossal fraud and the persons who perpetrated it and were interested in it should have been sent to the peni- tentiary."

STRIKING MINERS
 AMBUSH GUARDS "A Number of the Guards Broke Ranks and Fled While the Others Re- turned the Fire of the Strikers.
WERE FINALLY DRIVEN OFF
Leaving two of their Number Ly- ing Injured on the Field
 Miners Also Injured.

Steubenville, O., June 4.-The armed guard on duty at the mines of the United States Coal Go were am
 pushed by striking miners about 12:30 this morning while marching
 over the hills from Glenn's Run to
 Coal Hollow.
 About 500 shots were fired and four persons were wounded. but as far as known no one was killed. The miners were all foreigners. Shortly after midnight sixty-three
 armed guards started over the hills from Glenn's Run for Coal Hollow. The strikers, who were incensed over an assault on one of their num- Der, gathered at point. about mid way between the two mines. There were 250 men, all armed, and they secreted themselves behind trees and rocks along the hillsides. The guard was in single file and as the advance
 came in view one of the strikers fired in the air. This was the signal and following it there was fusilade from the concealed men. Many of the guards broke ranks and ran back to Glenn's Run, but number stood their ground and returned the fire. It is said at least 500 shots were
 exchanged. The guards were finally routed and forced to seek shelter, leaving two wounded on the field. Two miners were also injured in the fight. It is said the miners were led by former soldiers from the Polish and Austrian armies. The sheriff of Jefferson county and the attorney for the United States Coal Co this morning decided to call
 upon the adjutant-general for troops.
 The situation is quiet. now, how ever, and no more trouble is appre- hended
 There was another conflict between
 the striking miners and guards at Plum Run during the night. About
 seventy-five shots were exchanged, and T.. E. Young, manager of the mines, was slightly wounded. No one else. it Is said, was hurt. All is now quiet.

SUSPECT SHOOTS HIMSELF
Morales Kills Guard and Commits Suicide Near Madrid Was Trying
 to Escape in Workingman's Garb.
BODY IDENTIFIED IN MADRID.

Madrid, June 4. The capture and suicide Saturday night at Torrejon de Ardos of Manuel Morales, the chief suspect in the bomb outrage against King Alfonso and Queen Victoria, adds another dramatic chapter to the incidents surrounding the royal wed- ding. Morales was recognized in the little town of Torrejon de Ardoes, midway between Madrid and Aicola. A guard sought to detain him, but tue suspect, drawing a revolver shot the guard dead. Then he turned to flee, but number of the inhabitants were upon him, and, turning the revolver on himself. he shot him in the region of his heart, dying a few minutes later. Senior Cuesta, proprietor of the hotel from the balcony of which Nor ales threw the bomb. viewed the body and identified it as that of his recent guest.
 The body was exposed yester- day for the purpose of allaying pub lie indignation. Thousands of per sons surged before the municipal morgue seeking to get in line for the view, but cavalry and infantry blocked the efforts of the throng. which murmured imprecations against the assassin.
 The American envoy to the royal wedding, Frederick w. Whitridge, and his suite, had an opportunity for brief consultation with King AL fonso during the reception at the palace Saturday night. When the conversation naturally turned to the attempt on the king and queen, King Alfonso shrugged his shoulders and made the following significant state ment. showing how he views the fu- ture:
 "Yes. fortunately 1t was unsuccess- full, and it will come again. It may be any time-perhaps tomorrow, perhaps within a month, perhaps within year-but it will come"
 The face of the king wore look of calm resignation as he gave this forecast of the future. Although he bore himself splendidly throughout the terrible experience. the courtlers witnessed trying scene as King AL fonso and Queen Victoria hurried within the castle after the attempt was made to assassinate them. For moment Alfonso's nerves were com pletely unstrung, and. turning to Queen Victoria. her dress spattered with blood, he exclaimed: Why did I bring you to this country? It was wrong; you never should have come here,"

Passsd Away Suddenly this Morning, Although He Had Been Sick
 for Several Months.
SENATE ADJ0URNS QUICKLY
No Business Transacted After News of Death Was Received
 Noted Politician.

Washington, June 4.-Arthur Pue German, United States senator from Maryland, died suddenly at his resi- dence in this city at 9:30 o'clock this morning. While Senator German had been i'll for many months, he had shown some improvement lately. Heart trouble was the immediate cause of death.
 Senator German long had been a notable figure in the national con gress. He first took his seat in 1881 and served continuously for eighteen years and nearly all of that time he was the leader of his party in the senate. Winning early reputation for sagacity and the keenest judg- ment in congressional affairs, he at tained prominence, not only as a : leader. but in the country at large, and by many men was considered the most available man in his party for the presidency. He was chairman of the executive committee and managed the campaign that resulted in the election of Cleveland in 1884.
 The most notable contest of his congressional career. and one which attracted to him wider attention than anything else, was. when he led the senate minority in 1S90-91 and de- feated the federal elections bill. To his sagacious leadership and adroit management his party friends at tributed the defeat of the measure which was obnoxious to the south.
 When the democrats had control of the senate German was the recog- nized leader of that body. It was at that time that the tariff bill of 1894 was passed. and although the Mary land senator was not member of the finance committee he had so much to do with shaping that measure that his name Is often given to it and, in fact, it is frequently called the Will son-Gorman tariff.
 It was during Cleveland's last ad- mipistration that a break occurred between the democratic president

Physicians at the hos pital said this morning that there had been no change of importance in the condition of the three women during the night.
