GLOATING 10 the exercise OF tyrsn'
nieAl power, and delivering his threat
with al the venom TINT is within him,
Mr.. Dalzell yesterday served notice that
becsuse the democrats had insisted on
showing up the inconsistency and by
procisy of the republican side of the
House of Representatives, there should
be no legislation this year in the interest
of any section that sends democrats TO
Congress. Mr.. Dalzell spoke for Speaker
Cannon and Serene Payne, and his
announcement means that half of the
territory of the United States is 10 be
1ef. out in the cold so far as the benefits
of the national lswmaking body are
concerned. The south and west are
deprived of the rights and privileges OF
legislation and the north and east are to
profit in consequence. Never before in
the history of Congress has the doctrine
shat the yictors alone shall share the
spoils been so shsmelessly avowed, and
never before has there been policy in
Congress to legislate for half the nation
only.

cast Of Gen. Charles, 81. Grovenor, oil

next March, and over In the Senate,
Joseph B. Foraker will be taxing Inc
oath of ssnator 70 succeed himself. Cen
ersl Grovenor counts upon factional
differences among the democrats to help
give victory to the republicans 10 ONO
this fall. If Ohio iD refusing TO en-
dorse Judson Harmon for PRESIDENT
when Bryan cannot possibly carry The
State, will mean the failure Of the party
to accomplish anything ia the State ~
the coming elections.
1t was semi-oficisIly announced at
the White House today by one OF the
Cabinet members that the president had
decided to sign the employers liability
bill. Attorney General BouaPsr'e, IT
is said, has given the president an
opinion on the matter in which ne ss-
u1red the Executive that the bill Is con-
stitutional and will stand the tests of the
courts.
Another alleged recipient Of brides
from Benson testified at the Hyde'Beu-
SON. iamond-Scheneider land fraud trial
today. William E. Walk, formerly an

vas examined as to bis approval of land
claims filed by Benson gave him ten
cents an acre for every claim be expedil

Ben HELEN, secretary Of the Wash
inpton Jockey Club, has resigned. The
position is not likely to be filIei in the
precarious condition of the racing game.
Adjournment of Congress by the
fifteenth or sixteenth of May is the goal
to which the Senate leaders will work
from uo1 on. At q meeting of the
republican steering committee today,
the general legislative situation was dis
cussed at length with the result that II
was determined 10 press matters with q
view getting away by the middle Of
next month. Nothing was added 10
the senatorial legislative programme
which is to pass the appropriation bills
and adjourn as soon as possible. IL IL
probable that no action will be taken
on the bill to amend the Sherman anti
trust law so as to permit railroads IC
make traffic agreements among them
selves under federal supervision, and tc
relieve labor organizations to some ex'
tent from the operations Of the law.
The multiplication bill for labor sIsc
will probably remain uDscted upon.
The Aldrich currency bill will be sup.
ported, and if the house does not pass
anything but provision for currency
commission the Senate will attach the
Aldrich me 4sure to that, and send II
back for adoption.

LITTLE GIRL KILLED.

Hurrying home from school TO
luncheon and holding each other tightly
by the hands 80 as not to get lost, two
winsome little girls, Marian and Lulu
Swanson, twins, and seven years old,
tripped along the sidewalk on Wills
avenue, New York. As they reached
Oae Hundred and Thiriy-fourh street
they paused, remembering the admoni-
ton of their mother 10 be careful when
crossing streets, and looked up aud down
to make sure it was safe to cross. There
was a FIRE in the neighbOrhoOd aud the
rush of the engines had frightened the
little girls and made them more than or
dnarily careful. As the twins stood on the
curb Nesting, milk wagon drawn by two
horses came slong. Just as the wagon
nesred the crossing the children started
across, and at that instant a fire engine
sent out a shrill whistle. The horses on
the milk wagon reared aud plunged and
the driver tugged at the reins,
but the frightened animsls got their
hesds and dashed away. The twirs
saw their danger and started to run,
Lulu in front dragging Marian after her,
Lulu got clear of the horsFs, but the
boots of one of the animals struck
Marian aud knocked her to the ground.
The wheels of the heavy wagon ran over
ibe child, and when the Mortified on
lockers rushed TO the spot and raised
her in their arms she was dead.

without doubt that mem bers Of the 25.h
cOlored infantry were responsible for the

August, Senator Warner today sddre ssed
the Senate at length. He presented the
administration size of the case, jos. as
throughout the investigation made by
The military committee, he scted ss the
prosecutor against the discharged negro
soldiers. He said; at is incredible to
me that any intelligent man, white or
black, should have the hardihood to
charge that the president, 10 issuing the
order discharging these negroes, was in
huenced against them by reason of their
