CHANGE OF HEART

The news of yesterday raised a hue
and cry because the leaders of
democracy and Snator Newlands had
attacked P. l.. Flanagan on his re-
ligious faith. Since then It has been
proven that the entire scheme orig
mated in the ranks of the party which
the News espouses. In this morn
ing's issue they caption their story
"Unaccused Chairman and Senator
Hasten to Clear Skirts of Religious
Attack on Flanagan"
While We will readily admit that
the accusation of the News does not
amount to much the editor himself
should not have forgotten it so soon.

man fell in an epileptic fit, to which
he was subject, and rolling on his
face was smothered to death, but an
autopsy performed last night by DR..
Tyson resulted in the finding of a
brain tumor, which proved fatal.
DIETRICH, who was an early riser,
failed to put in his appearance at his
accustomed time yesterday morning.
His sister-in-law thought little of this,
believing that he had oversight. How
he did not come down stairs. Mrs.
DIETRICH became alarmed and inves-
tigated. She found the man, face
down, still in bed
There was no sign OF movement
about the body, though Mrs. DIETRICH
watched some time for a stir that
would indicate breathing. When she
saw none she placed her hand on the
mans face and found it cold.
After calling her brother the couple
rolled the dead man on his back to
make sure no spark of life remained.
They worked for some time trying to
restore DIETRICH, but he had evidently
been long dead and they were forced
to give up their efforts and call the
Coroner. Judge Bell will hold an in

French Steamer Bries HueI Tovved Into
 st' Fort -sfFt*s
 New. York, May l 17.--After a stormy Axperience as virtual derslict with broken rudder and without coal, at the mercy of the early spring gales on the Atlantic, the French steamer Briez Huel made this port today in tow of the tug M. B. Luckenbach.
 The Briez Huel saned from Dunkirk. France. March 13. The first report of the mishap which set her adrift was a wireless message from the steamer Lumen. of Bremen. Germany, which stated that the Briez Huel was l5O miles south of Halifax. N. S., flying signals of, distress. with broken r0dder and short of coal.
 Y "A number of. steamers were hailed bI the disabled craft, but could not take her fn tow because of short coal supply or haste necessitated by ear- rying malls and passengers. When the Lucerna. an oil tank steamer from Shields bound for Philadelphia. finally took the Briez Huel in tow. a gale parted the towing cable and the Lu- cerna was forced to abandon the Briez Huel in the storm. The steamer Sidra from Philadelphia for Messina at last picked up the Briez Huel and lowed her to Bermuda. where she arrived April 27.

CONFEREES ON CURRENCY BILL Will Hold Meeting To-
 day. DAILY SESSIONS TO FOLLOW Differences Between Senate and - House Are Many. Question of Financial Legislafiea wf1a Probably Not Be Settled Uasn
 Few Hours Before FinaI
 Adjournment.
DAILY SESSIONS TO FOLLOW

Washington. May 17-confereen On the currency bill will meet tomor- row and the probability is that daily sessions will be held for the next sev- eral days.
 In fact. it is not thought the question of financial legislation will be settled until a few hours before final adjourn- ment. The differences between the Senate and the House are many. The Senate regards the provision of the House for the formation of clearing house districts and the Issuance Of national bank notes on commercial pa- per guaranteed by the clearing house associations to be species of asset cur- rency. It is said that Senator Aidrich and his fellow managers of the con- ference on the part of the Senate are not unalterably opposed to the plan Of the House bill if 1t can be safeguarded 90 as to remove the asset currency feR- ture. Therefore. 1t is possible that the conferees will work out something that may be acceptable to both branches of Congress.
 The conferees on the part of the Sen- ate are Messrs. Aldrich, Allison. Hale, Daniel and Teller; on the part of tho House. Messrs. Vreeland (N. Y.), Bur- ton, (o). Weeks (Mass.). PuJo (La.). and Glass. Cva.). All of these legis- lators, including the four Democrats. are in favor of the passage Of some sort of emergency currency legisIa- ton at the present session and on that account failure to agree is not believed to be possible.

QUIET IN CLEVELAND
NO EVIDENCE OF VIOLENCE IN GAR
 STRIKE. 5--
On Many of the Lines the Company In- augurRted the Usual Full Qu0&a of Runs
 Yesterday.

Cleveland, O., May 17.-Aside from a few minor disturbances. the street car strike situation today bore no evil dence of violence while the service given by the Municipal Traction Com pany was greatly improved.
 A police oficer rode on each car and screens of heavy wire were provided around the motorman's vestibule Only one instance of a serious attempt to attack the crew of a car was reported, when a crowd of boys and men sent a volIev of stones and sticks at a Miles Avenue car. Some of the mis- siles found their mark and the con- ductor drew a pistol. the police say. firing one shot. No one was hurt.
 On many of the lines the company inauRurated the usual full quota of runs that are in effect on Sundays. In fhe husiness section of the city quiet ness prevailed. and no crowds gath cred. At the barns in the outlying see- ttons there were gatherings of men and boys who jeered the cars as they came in or departed. Vice- President Behner. of the railway mems union, visited nearly every car barn today to note the situation. He reported every thing quiet and satisfactory. Interna- tional President W. D. Mahon. of the AmalRamated Association of Street and Electric Employes. arrived today and went into conference with Vice-Presi- dent Behner and members of the local Executive Committee. He heard de- tailed reports of the strike and what progress was being toward settle ment. Mir. Mahon also met Joseph Bishop and Judge Owen. of the State Board of Arbitration. The State arbi- traitors are still endeavoring to have the union and President DuPont. of the Municipal Traction Company, come to some understanding.
 President Mahon said he did not ex- pect to take any active part in the strike and that he would return to Chicago tomorrow night. Whether the arbitrators will meet with any success In getting the heads of the union and the railway company together was not apparent today.
