Ordinarily returning from excur-
sions and holiday outings late at
night, the great majority of the
crowd is tired and worn out and not
in humor to relish ribaldry and
noise. But there is always an ele-
ment who have sought to Danish that
tired feeling" and beget a counter
felt exuberance through too fire.
quent recourse to the glass that
cheers at first but at the last biteth
like an adder; and this element, as
rule, too, strive to make themselves
as disagreeable and annoying as is
possible to the peaceably disposed
portion. For this contingent a sep
arate car should be provided and
they should be compelled to stay IN

all should give vent to their partic-

CHECK TO F|L|B|JSIER|NG
SPEAKER MAY DECLARE RECESS
WITHOUT ROLL CALL.
DEBATE FURTHER RESTRICTED
New Rule Put Through Divestins
Democrats Of Every vestiee of Any
Power Left to avorabie Re.
port on Paper Trust Resolutions.

Washington, April 9.-The session
the stormiest in its history. The sum
total OF the days proceedings was the
adoption of several additional rules
to further check the Democratic fill
buster and the passing of the two res
olutions introduced by Speaker Can
non, calling on the department Of JUS
tce and the department of commerce
and labor for certain information re.
garding the so-called paper trust.
There were nine roll calls during
the day, five of them on the new rules.
The Democrats exhausted their re-
sources before they were made to
feel that the Republicans by sheer
force of numbers had them beaten at
every point.
The debate brought all the leaders
| of the house to the front. The Demo.
Gratis were again charged with making
special rules necessary by reason Of
the filibuster, while the Democrats re-
asserted that they at last were caus-
| ing the majority to enact legislation.
The house passed a new rule, en-
abling the speaker to declare a re-
| cess at o'clock every day for the
| remainder of the week without a roll
call
Williams (Miss.) claimed credit for
| forcing the Republican majority to a
vote on many important measures. He
made reply to Dalzell's recent speech,
which had been calculated, he said, to
cause him to grow angry, but he did
not propose to lose his temper simply
| because the Republican leaders did
not want him and the president to
legislate.
But" he said, 1--WE will legislate;
we shall get a free wood pulp bill,
but we won't get campaign fund pub
licity bill, because of the near APP
proach of the elections; when you
want contributions"
AS If to divest the Democrats of
every vestige of any power left to
them, Dalzell subsequently reported
another rule, which the Republicans
put through. The rule provided that
hereafter a general appropriation bill
that has been considered and amended
In committee of the whole house shall
be put on its passage under suspension
Of the rules and that a majority and
not a two-thirds vote shall carry the
bill through. The object Of the rule
is to prevent the Democrats securing
roll calls on motions, forcing votes
ON amendments.

appears that the Nashville, Chatta-
nooga and st. Louis Railway company
has not complied with the order of the
commission to furnish the same facil-
tiles to colored passengers paying
first class fare that are furnished to
white passengers paying first class
fares. From time to time various
complaints have been made to me by
reputable colored people to the effect
that the accommodations furnished to
colored persons on certain railways
are filthy and inadequate compared to
the same accommodations furnished to
white passengers paying the same
fare. The action OF the commission
has simply been TO insist that the &C.

HUGHES AFTER RACING
NEW YORK GOVERNOR SENDS A
RINGING MESSAGE.
MAY CALL AN EXTRA SESSION
The Governor Of New York Has Sent
Stirring Special Message to the
State Legislature, Demanding That
Anti-Gambling Law be Passed.

ID" NC rdSoSus
Albany, n. Y, April Ex-Governor
Hughes today sent a ringing message
state, again asking that body to pass
the anti-racetrack gambling bill.
The senate split in tie vote on the
measure yesterday, Lieutenant Gov
ernor Chanler voting against it.
Would Do Away With Racing.
Governor Hughes indicated in his
message today a determination to do
away with racing and racetrack gam
bling In this state, and he declares
that an extra session of the legsla-
ture will be called if that body fails
to pass such a law at this session.
Albany, n. Y, April 9.-The vote OF
Senator owen Cassidy (RepO OF
Schuyler caused a tie vote of 20 to 2 .
and defeated, for the time at least,
the two Agnew.Hart bills. embodying
the recommendation OF Governor
Hughes that the legal protection be
abolished which, since 1895, has pro-
tected public gambling at racetracks.
whereas 1t is felony elsewhere in the
state.
Lieutenant Governor Chanler, in the
chair. by casting his vote to break the
tie upon parliamentary motion
which but for him would have result
ed in killing the bills for the rest of
the session, saved them for another
vote, at the discretion Of their intro.
Queer, Senator Agnew, at any time
when the order of business permits
him to call up the matter. The i'm
portance Of this bit of subsidiary pro
cedure may prove to be very great
and II by any means the friends of the
bills can gain a vote from the oppo,
sition and at the same time hold the
twenty-five they had. they might yet
pass the bills and send them to the
governor.
Governor Hughes made no secret OF
his disappointment over the result OF
the days struggle. He would not in
innate what measures he would adopt
in the premises but that he regards
the matter as far from settled. he
made clear by the following statement
| issued from the executive chamber
ut is impossible to believe that the
people will permit the plain mandate
| of the constitution to be ignored. The
contest has not ended. 1t has only be
gun. 1t will continue until the will
of the people has been obeyed."

spent very quiet day. Despite the
assertions of DR.. p. f. Mcdonald that
Admiral Evans is gaining strength
rapidly, the impression is gaining
ground around the hotel that he is

While relieved from all acute pain, as
a result OF the treatment at the

covery will be matter of many

SORE AT GOTCH.
Hackenschmdt Will Shake the Dust
of America From His Feet.

Chicago, April S.-George Hacken-
schmidt will shake the dust of Amer
lea from his shoes within three days.
Yesterday he engaged passage on the
Lusitana and will sail at once. More
over, it is not with the kindest feelings
toward this country that the Russian
wrestler will depart
over here in America they don't
even consider themselves gentlemen"
he remarked, sadly as he quilted the
Auditorium.
This somewhat obscure remark, it
was learned, came from the repartee
exchanged between Gotch and him
self in the ring. Gotch threw light on
the subject yesterday.
when l first commenced to worry
him by rubbing my open hand over his
face" said Frank Gotch, che became
irritated and said in his German &C
cent, Dat is no way for gentleman
to wrestle.'
81 replied to this, You're in Ameri-
ca now | meant that he was going
up against the real thing in the
wrestling game, but he evidently took
it in another sense"
Hackenschmidt will first return to
England and will then depart for Cairo
and Constantinople, where he will
give posing exhibitions. He may also
meet some of the native wrestlers over
there.
His local representatives said yes
terday that he could not understand
the reception he received here and
that as he was naturally of an extreme
ly sensitive nature, the kissing he re-
ceived at two or three local places
had much upset him.
He has been much depressed ever
since his first public appearance here"
said one of his party yesterday, land
he was discouraged when he entered
the ring. Moreover, he is of the con.
viciion that Gotch was oiled in some
way when he first touched him. He
told us before starting that the mo-
ment he placed his hands on Gotch's
wrists he felt how slippery they were.
He thinks that Gotch was massaged
with vaseline or oil until it was work
ed we'll into the skin and that when he
started perspiring 1t worked out.
He told us that from the moment
he was in the ring he knew he was
up against it to use our phrase, and
that inside of ten minutes his only
idea was to protect his eyes from
Gotch's nails. He says his eyes pain
ed him so after fifteen minutes that
he could hardly think of anything else.
He has piece taken out of one of
his eyelids and says that Gotch did
it with his thumb nail.
He also said that when Gotch fast
ened the first toe grip on him he had
never felt such pain. He says he
strained his muscles until the leg felt
like bar of iron. Then he managed
to break the hold.
IF he meets Gotch again, think he
will ask for the Greco-Roman style Of
wrestling or for a bout with the toe
grip barred. His one idea when he
went into the ring was to get hold Of
GOtch as quickly as possible and when
he found himself unable to do so, he
knew all was over. He says he was
strong when he gave up, so far as abili-
~ to go another hour or so was con.
cerned, but that he realized the case
was hopeless as he was out of condi-
ton"
