Arlington

of the Inflated battleship Maine, sunk
in the harbor of Havana, will be
raised so that the remains of any of
the sailors dead that may be within
the wreck may be recovered and SO
that an examination may be made to
determine if possible the manner in
which the vessel was destroyed, If the
senate approves bill passed by the
house today.
The remains of sailors that might
be recovered would be inferred in
Arlington cemetery on the Virginia
shore opposite Washington.
The mast of the Maine would be
erected in the cemetery near the
graves of the Maine dead.
For two hours Republicans and
Democrats spoke in favor of remov-
ing the wreck from Havana harbor.
AS passed by the house, the bill
was changed in its general terms, so
as to authorize the work to be done
under the direction of the engineer
corps of the army, with the consent
of the Republic of Cuba.
BY the insistence of Mr.. Sulzer of
New York, the bill was worded to
require the raising" as we'll as the
removal" of the wreck so that an
examination could be made of the
hulk to determine the manner of the
vessels destruction.

pressing great interest in the attitude
of congress toward Commander Peary

that Peary got to the pole, or as I
think, you reported a little beyond

A CARNIVAL Of
DEATH RE|GNED
At WILMINGTON
Three Shot to Death, Two Sui.
cides and Three Fatally
Injured
SENSATIONAL BATTLE WITH
DOUBLE MURDERER ON TRAIN
Had Killed Conductor and Porter and
Was in Turn RiddIed With Bullets
-WOrkhOuse Guards Victims of u
COnyict's Assault.

Wilmington, March 24-Never be-
fore have the crime annals of Will
mington made such CHASTITY showing
as yesterday. Three shot to death, as
saults that may result in three more
deaths, half dozen persons slight
ly wounded and two suicides comprise
the startling record.
The most sensational occurrence
was the tragedy on a Baltimore &
Ohio express train. Starting when
the train had just passed Newark,
twelve miles below Wilmington, the
affair continued until the cars arriv-
ed at the station here, the culmina-
ton being the death of a double mur-
derer after he had held at bay a
crowd of thousand persons and near
ly all of the police force for more
than an hour before he could be reach
ed.
J. H. Bethea of Dillon, s. c., was
"a target for the pistols of the police
and for the rifles, shot guns and re-
volvers fired by persons in the as
sembled throng. Bethea's body has
not yet been claimed. The Slayer's
victims were Conductor o. o. Well
man and Samuel Williams, a porter,
who were killed and Park Guard John
l.. Wiley of this city, who was shot
twice, one bullet penetrating his left
hand and the other striking him in the
groin. The latter wound may prove
serious.
The wound that caused Bethea's
death was undoubtedly from the bull
let that entered his body close to the
heart Even without this wound, he
probably would have died from his nu-
merous other wounds.
The victims of the workhouse trag-
edy, Guards Walter Hastings and
Thomas Mccullough, are still In Sc
rious condition at the Delaware hos
pital, and the physicians give out no
hope for the recovery of either. Ste
phen Hunter, the negro prisoner who
shot them down yesterday morning,
in desperate endeavor to escape and
who was in turn shot and beaten by
the other guards, is at the prison hos
pital still living, but his death Is ex-
pected at almost any time.
The other tragedies were the sui
eide of Mrs. Hattie Tc:lmel and OF
Charles Tindall, after he had shot and
killed Mrs. Clara Newcomb. because
she refused to elope with him.

To Liquidate. Indebtedness Plant
Goes Under Hammer.

Chester, Pa, March 24.-In order tc
liquidate Indebtedness and settle the
estate. the once famous shipyard
owned and operated by the late John
Roach & Son at this place, goes under
the hammer by order of the receivers
today. The Indebtedness is estimated
at 100000.
1t was at this yard that the new
navy Of metal ships was begun, when
William e. Chandler was secretary OF
the navy. The cruisers Chicago, Bos-
ton and Atlanta, and the gunboat Dol
phin were the pioneer vessels. Their
acceptance was delayed by the gov.
ernment, causing the failure of Mr.
Roach, and he died before the vessels
were finally in commission in the
navy.
All four are afloat at the present
time, after twenty-seven years, and
two Of them. the Dolphin and Chicago
are In commission. The Atlanta and
Boston are on the Pacific coast.
AT the time of John Roach's death
two-thirds Of the iron vessels in the
coastwise trade and several ships in
the China and Australian trade had
been built by him. The entire fleet OF
the Ward. the Savannah, the Old
Dominion and the Pacific Mail com.
panies had been built at the Roach
yards here. The hulls of the Yale and
Harvard of the Boston outside line
also were built here. For time John
B. Roach ran the yard successfully
Afterward it passed into the hands OF
the Delaware River Iron Shipbuildine
and Engine works.

Dalzell, Smith, Clark and Fitzger-
aid were members of the rules COM
mittee appointed by Speaker Cannon
and his judgment seems to have been
affirmed by the entire house.
The interest, of the house member
ship today centered on the final make
up of the committee. The leaders on
both sides expect great things of the
committee. The regular Republicans,
some of them at least, concede that
the. augmentation, of the members of
the committee is step in the right
direction and already there is tall!
Of increasing the number of members
to eleven SO as to provide an odd
number to avoid tie votes. This talk,
however. has not crystallized into
any definite shape and If any such
movement is made it will not be at
this session of congress. Dalzell's
selection as chairman is expected be-
cause of his seniority of service on
the committee.
Representative Haugen of Iowa may
make the next move on the insurgent
checker board. Haugen was the one
who placed Norris of Nebraska, the
author of the rules committee en-
largement resolution, in nomination
at last nights caucus. Norris, how
ever, received only seven votes, the
insurgents vote going almost alto
gether to Gardner Of Massachusetts,
Haugen is strongly in favor of party
harmony but he is determined to press
his resolution for a committee on

Meanwhile Bishop. Thomas Ken
nedy. the rector Of the American coll
lege. is arranging with Mgr. Bisleti,
the papal major domo and master of
the chamber, all the details. of Col.
Roosevelt's visit to the vatican, where
he will go. accompanied by Mrs.
Roosevelt and by all the members of
his family and party, as Plus X has
expressed the desire to see them
all. After the audience with the
pope they will be received by Cardi-
nal Merry del Val in his own state
apartment. and will then be taken to
the vatican gardens, where they will
be greeted by the American who
holds an important position there,
Father ]. G. Hagan, late Of the
Georgetown observatory and now d.
rector of that Of the vatican.
Etiquette Is Relaxed.
The American ex-president will not
be required to follow all the compli-
Gated etiquette prescribed for the
rulers Of countries which are Catholic
or which have representatives to both
the quirinal and vatican, for these
rules are severe. The ruler, sovereign
or president is not permitted to go
to the vatican from what may be
called Italian soil, but must go to
the embassy or legation of his own
country and thus start from foreign
land. as It were. and he must not
drive In the court carriages.
Emperor William went so far as to
bring his own guards 80 as not to use
the Italian ones, which was consider
ed an exaggeration and offended the
snsceptibilities Of the quilinal.

!. New ACADEMY PROPOSED.

England Wants One Devoted 70 Litsra.
tursMr. shortsrs Comment.
There is much discussion at present
in England over the academy of lit.
erature which those interested In lit
$eraIY affairs desire to found. Maurice
Hewlett has written to an English pc.
tiodical that the business of the selec-
ton of members is to be the work Of
himself and Douglas Freshf1eld. g, =
The difficulty of selecting members
that would be accepted unanimously
by author and book lovers is mani
fest. The story of lola is Iacalled.
The French author after having been
received In England with considerable
enthusiasm said with regard to the
French academy: "Now I am safe.
shall drop into it as easily as a sou
into a SLOT" But NJ. Zola was never
elected to the academy.
There is one literary organization in
London which is doing much practical
and needed work-the Royal Literary
fund. Poverty is hardest to bear
when it is accompanied by imagina-
ton in the VICTIM" writes Mr.. Shorter,
land I have known many cases where
the Royal Literary fund committee has
helped struggling authoss whose pen
ury must seem almost incredible to
the ordinary literary clubman, or, in
deed, to the Fleet street journalist. In
the literary life prosperity and merit
have absolutely no kinship."
