CARDUCcJ DkAD
Eminent Italian Poet and Crltic-Had
 Received Nobel Prize.

Bologna, Feb 15--Giosue Carducci, the Italian poet and critic, who had been i'll here for some days past with influenza and pneumonia, died at l;30 this afternoon. The poet rallied this morning and hopes for tis recovery were entertained, but later he began sinking fast. His death is regarded an occasion for national mourning. He is considered as having attained the height of modern Italian poetic genius. Queen Margarhita, who converted Car ducci from republicanism to monarch ism, received the news of the poets death with mucb sorrow. During his last hours she inquired constantly if there was any hope.
 Before losing consciousness Carducci asked to have poetry read aloud to him, saying the cadences and rhytnmic sounds alleviated his sufferings. He refused the spiritual assistance of a priest.
 Last year Carducci was awarded the Nobel prize for literature. He was born in 1886.

 Washington, Feb. 15.--When the house resumed consideration of the naval appropriation bill to-day, the galleries were crowded in anticipation of an interesting debate on the para graph increasing the fighting strength of the navy. The audience was not dis appointed, nor did it have long to wait. The first speech was by MT. Burton of Ohio, in the course of which he com pared the American navy with the Jan- anese to the advantage of the former
 Hardly had the first paragraph of the section been read appropriating the necessary money for two tirst-clas battleships when Representative Bur ton, the champion of reduction of the navy in the interest of international peace instead of an increase, offered am amendment striking out the provision for an additional battleship of the Dreadnought type, thus limiting the number to the one that was authordz- ad ot +ba loc caccio,, nf o1yarrroee.
 Speaking in support of his motion, MT. Burton called attention to the in- evitable tendency of advancing ciyil- ization toward peace, the untiring en- deavors of nations not involved in con- .flict to prevent war between other countries, between which controversies arise. He spoke of the growth of arbi- tration as a means of settling disputes, and the intolerable burden of maintains ing armies and navies which must soon lead to a concert of action and a lini- tation of armament.
 He said that in the United States in recent years the expenses of the mili- tary and naval establishments had grown to be five times as great as in 1887, only twenty years ago, an increase out of all proportion to that of other expenses of the government.
 He deprecated the war talk iii re- gard to Japan, and contrasted the size of the navies of the two countries, showing that with ships now under construction the navy of the United States would be nearly two2thirds larger than that of Japan, and was at present half larger
 Finally, he said that the United States of all the nations of the world should take the lead in the move for limitation of the armaments, looking hopefully forward to the time when peace and amity should exist among the whole human race.
 Continuing MT, Burton said

 Washington, Feb. 15.-The San Fran cisco school controversy growing out of the segregation of the Japanese school children in that city, has been settled. The basis of the agreement reached at the White house conference to-day is that Mayor Schmitz and the members of the school board will. immediately after the passage of the immigration bill, as reported by the conferees in congress, abolish the Oriental schools and again admit Japanese children into the white schools. The president and Secretary Root gave the San Francis cans assurances that if the bill is not passed at this session of congress an extra session will be called immediately after the adjournment on March f.
 The abollshfhent of the Oriental schools applies, of course, only to the use of them by the Japanese. Their maintenance for the Chinese will be continued.
 Mayor Schmitz gave out the follow ing signed statement tonight:
 "We have come to a satisfactory un- derstanding upon the assumption that congress will pass the amendment to the immigration bill introduced Febru- ary 1S Until the amendment is enact ed into law we lshAll make no state ment as to what the understanding ls."
 Mayor Schmitz received the answer of the Japanese government to his proposition for separate schools from Secretary Root this morning and after conferring with the members of the school board he again called at the state department and informed Secre- tary Root that the school board had finally reached an agreement to rescind it's order establishing the Oriental schools, but no action would be taken in this direction until the immigration

Chicago, Feb. 15.--A we'll dressed man, evidently of unsound mind, en-s tered the central police station in the city hall to-day and attempted to shoot Captain P D. OBrien, of the detective bureau.
 The man placed a revolver close to- Captain O'Brien's head, saying: You're Roosevelt, ain't you?' Captain O'Brien sprang up, knocked the man down and took the revolver away. He was at once attacked by the insane man. but after hard fight subdued him. Witl the assistance of other officers the man was placed in a cell, where he became extremely violent, it being necessary for several officers to hold him on the floor to prevent him from dashing his brains out against the wall. Later he was removed to the hospital for the de-. tention of the insane. Nothing found on the man indicated his identity,
 Late in the day Captain o'Brien's. assailant recovered, in a measure, and. gave the name of H. B. Ehler. He said that he came here from San Francisco two days ago.

TELLS ALLEGED PLANS
 10 MASSACRE NEGROES
STARTLING TESTIMONY AT IN. OUIRY INTO BROWNSVILLE
 AHOOTING AFFRAY.

Colored Soldiers, it is Alleged, Were to
 be Caught in a Saloon and Murdered
 Witness Tells of Challenges Hurled
 to the Negroes to Come Out From
 Behind the Barracks-Shooting Came
 From the Town.
 Washington, Feb. 15.-Startling testi- mony concerning alleged plans to mas sacre colored soldiers at Brownsville, Texas, by men from the town firing over the barracks to stampede the sol- diers, and challenges to them to come out of the barracks was given by negro ex-soldiers to-day at the investigation by the senate committee on military af- fairs. The most sensational story told was that of William Mapp, who was a member of Co. c, 18th infantry. He was on the stand when the hearing ad- journed for the day.
 Mapp was asked if he had ever heard any discussion of the shooting which causel him to suspect any persons of complicity. He replied that at break fast on the morning following the shooting, he had heard Wilbur T., Voschelle, the reservation corral boss and white, man who had been in charge of the corral prior to the arriv- al of a battalion of the 18th infantry, discussing the case. According to Mapps' story, Voschelle sail; Well, it is a good thing that it happened as it did. I was out in town last night and the crowd came in front of me-the plan was to catch a lot of you fellows in AllisOn's saloon and massacre you"
 Mapp said that the remark was. not addressed to him and that he did not question Voschelle. He said that Allison is the former soldier who had started the saloon for the purpos eof getting the negro soldier trade, the other sa- looms having barred the members of the negro battalion. Voschelle is now in Washington, having been subpoenaed as a witness.
 Before giving this testimony Mapp said that on the night of the shooting he had been awakened by the firing and had gone to the window of his quarters, and from there he saw sever al gun flashes and the shots seemed to be directed oveh the barracks A man with a deep voice, he said. shouted: Come out, you black ' (using an opprobrious .epithet and making it ap- | plicable to the troops). Mapp said this challenge was Freeafed several times during the firing, but the call to arms was then sounded and he hurried to get dressed and fall in with his company, He said the shooting and the shouting outside the wall at the end of Go. B barracks. Mapp told of the confusion in quarters and said that he got his gun from the rack that was broken
