Lasted Less Than an Hour
1t London.

LONDON, July 23.-Madarlal Dhinagri
the Indian student who on the night OF
July 1. at the conclusion of a public
gathering at the Imperial Institute, shot
and killed Lieut.. Col. Sir William HUT
Curzon Wyllie and DR.. Canvas Lalcaca
was today found guilty and sentenced to
death at the conclusion of a trial, OF
less than an hours duration at the Old
Bailey police court.
During the recital of the occurrences
at the Imperial Institute on the night of
the tragedy. the prisoner sat in the dock
listening unconcernedly, and only once
broke his silence by saying: Whatever
| did was act of patriotism
At the close of the evidence, and in
reply to the query if he wished to ques-
ton any of the witnesses. Madarlal said
no; he only wished that the statement in
Justification of his act. that he made in
the police court July 10. should be read
This was done, and the verdict and SEN
tence to death followed in a few seconds
Prisoner Proud of Sentence.
AS the lord chief justice concluded In
pronouncing sentence the prisoner drew
himself up in military style and saluted
He said: Il thank you. my lord. 1 an
proud to have the honor of laying dowr
my humble life for my country. Your SEN

MACON GETS HIS REVENGE
DISLIKES GREAT APPLAUSE"
AFTER FUCKERS SLAP.
Moves to Strike Everything Out,
and Speaker Cannon Smilingly
Passes Motion.

Representative Macon Of Arkansas, who
had run-in with Representative Rueker
of Colorado last Monday. and feels ag-
grieved at the way in which 1t was re-
ported in the Congressional Record.
sought vindication in the House today.
Notwithstanding the evidence of mis-
chievous spirit among many members to
haze Mr.. Macon, he got his vindica-
ton.
Mr. Macon called attention to a para
graph in the Record in which Mr.. Rucker
says he hopes the gentleman from Ar
kansas will withhold his threatened resig-
nation from the House long enough to
enable his constituents to write it for
him. That alleged .utterance, in the de-
bate. is followed by the words, great
applause"
Mr.. Macons grievance, he stated 1t
to the House today. was not SO much the
alleged statement OF the Colorado men,
applause. He said If the gentleman from
Colorado was content to allow that state
ment to appear as having been made on
the floor. all right, but he did not want
the Record to state that a number of his
colleagues applauded the sentiment.
Too Excited to Hear.
Mr.. Rucker retorted that the gentleman
from Arkansas. upon the occasion referred
to. was so excited that he was not a
good witness and could not tell how nu-
merous were the voices bidding him a
joyous goodbye
Mr.. Macon asked Mr.. Rucker II he ut
tered the words attributed to him in the
Record.
II did, replied Mr. Rucker, emphati-
cally.
Then do you recognize the writing in
the stenographers report putting in
words which the stenographers say they
did not take DOWN.
Couldn't Recognize Writing.
Mr.. Rucker said he could not recognize
the writing, and after Mr.. Macon had re-
peated the statement that the stenog-
raphers denied having inserted the re-
marks, he moved to strike out both the
remarks and the alleged applause from
the Record.
The motion was put to vote and there
was chorus of ayes. Speaker Cannon
looked down and saw half a hundred
members grouped in front of the rostrum,
most of them smiling. and many of them
primed for mischief from their looks. He
looked at Mr.. Macon, serious as judge.
The ayes Had It.
THE ayes have it, declared the
Speaker, without putting the other side
of the question, while the House laughed
So Mr.. Fuckers remarks were stricken
out and Mr.. Macon retired, apparently
we'll satisfied.

JAPAN GROWING FESTIVE
WANTS TO MODIFY TREATY
WITH THIS COUNTRY.
State Department Likes Trade Con-
ditions, and Won't Agree to
Open Subject.

japan is undoubtedly becoming FESTIVE
under trade conditions imposed in her
treaty with the United States. This re-
Gently was made evident when she pro-
posed to this government that negotia-
lions for new treaty be begun at once
notWithsta nding the fact that the present
one does not expire of limitation for two
years.
Her statesmen are now at work on re-
visions of a number of treaties with Euro
pean nations which expire in 1910, and
it was Japan's earnest desire that the
United States should consent to terml-
nation of our agreement next year. so
that we might join in the negotiations
with the other powers. Our trade In
terests in Japan, however. are not suf-
fering and for this and other reasons
this government did not see its way clear
to discuss the questions involved before
the expiration of our treaty In 1911. The
existing tariff in japan consists OF gen
eral and conventional or special rates,
the latter being granted only by agree
ment with Great Britain, Germany and
France.
Under the most favored nation clause of
our treaty Japan extends to the United
States all the conventional rates which
it has granted to the three countries men
toned On the other hand none OF the
reduced rates authorized N SectlOn . Vi
the Dingley act which are granted by
the United States to certain foreign coun-
tries is extended to Japan.
Rates Very Low.
The conventional rates represent in
many cases reductions of GO per cent. IS
per cent and so per cent from the general
rates. The rates in the metal schedules
are as low as per cent and 10 per cent
ad yalorem The same is true of the
rates on vehicles, vessels. scientific in
struments and clocks. The conventional
rates on cotton fabrics as well as on
WOODEN tissues are as low 10 per cent
ad valorem, although the general rates
are four and five times as high as the
conventional
Under these circumstances it is not diff
cult to understand the desire of the State
Department not to disturb present ar
engagements until compelled to do SO.

Dissatisfaction with all awards of the
Union station grade damage commission
for property on the south side of Massa
chusetts avenue between 1st and I'd
streets northeast. except as to those lots
to which the commission granted no
damages, has been expressed by the Dis
trict Commissioners. They have instruct
ed Attorney A. l.. Sinclair. special coun-
sci for the District in those cases. to
carry the cases to an appeal jury.
All Awards Contested.
Attorney Sinclair recommended that
| the Commissioners express their disap-
prevail of only about half of the awards.
Upon the recommendation, however. of
| Capt. z. NJ. Markham. assistant to the
Engineer Commissioner. that other awards
| were excessive, the Commissioners de-
| cided to appeal all the cases except those
| in which the commission allowed no dam
ages.
Submitting a copy of appraiSements of
damages to the property in question by
the commission. which is composed of
Charles A. Baker, George w. Moss and
George Spransy Attorney Sinclair said to
the Commissioners:
Il have carefully considered their APP
praisements, in the light of the evidence
submitted to the commission, and am of

dissatisfaction Herewith. to the end that
the cases may be submitted to jury, ac
cording to the provision of section 5, act
of Congress approved April -. 1904.
while | consider some other awards
of damages also excessive, the excess, to
my mind, is not great enough to warrant
the submission of the cases to a jury,
considering the expense which another
trial might entail on the District
Capt. Markham's View.
Capt. Markham, to whom the recon-
menation was referred, recommended that
in all cases where damages are awarded,
appeal be taken.
Not only are the appraisements for
damages to premises indicated by number
within excessive. but the awards to prem
Uses al, 143. 145, hi, 143, ISL. 15o. 157 and
159 are likewise excessive" he says. 1T
is thought in a number of these cases
the actual damage sustained is less than
the amount of the appraiSementS returned
without any consideration of the benefits
which the act of April -. 1904, requires
shall be considered.
1T is therefore recommended that the
Commissioners express dissatisfaction
with all the within apraisements except
as to lots Al. A., As. IS. > and 81, square

proved by the Commissioners.
