months Of January and February by
Senators Bailey, Beveridge, Borah,
Bristow, Brown, Burrows, Crawford,
Cummins, Davis, Fletcher, GalIinger,
Gamble, Hepburn, Johnson, Jones,
Owen, Paynter, Root and by Mr.. Lori
mer himself. Mr.. Cullom also spoke,
but was noncommittal as to his col
league. He defended himself and the
state of Illinois.
Efforts were made daily by friends
and foes of Mr. Lorimer to influence
the votes of the senators for or
against him, and during the last two
weeks Mr.. Cullom received an ava
lanche of letters and kilograms so
large it was feared his health would
break under it.
The Lorimer fight has been one of
the most sensational in the history of
the upper house. When the commit
tee on privileges and elections re-
turned report declaring that no evil
dences of bribery having Influenced
the legislators in The election of Mr..
Lorimer had been found, it was con-
sidered that he was amply vindicated
and that his senate seat was secure.
This report was prepared by a sub
committee and was the outcome of an
exhaustive investigation both at Wash
ington and Chicago, in which the
charges of bribery at Springfield were
thoroughly gone into.

ITALIAN PRINCESS IS SLAIN
Lady In Waiting to Queen Helena
Shot to Death by Baron, Who
Attempts Suicide.


Rome.-Baron Paterno, a cavalry
lieutenant, shot and killed Princess
Ciula Trigona, lady in waiting to
Queen Helena, Thursday. The baron
then attempted suicide, but was unsuc.
cessful.
The tragedy took place in the Hotel
Rebecchino, the trysting place of the
two members Of the Sicilian aristoc.
racy. Some time ago Prince Trigona
realized that his wife was bestowing
her affection upon Baron Paterno at
clandestine meetings, and he institut
ed legal proceedings with view tc
obtaining judicial separation. The
courts decision was ready to be given
out, but because Of the high standing
of the parties concerned, the presiding
Judge decided to attempt reconcilia,
tion.
1t Is said the prince was ready to
pardon his wife's unfaithfulness If she
would consent to renounce Paterno.
The princess acquiesced. On her way
to court, where the affair was to be
finally settled, she stopped at the hotel
for last meeting with the baron.

BROWN WINS OVER WOLGAST
New York Boy Has Champion Nearly
Out in Second Round of
Gotham Bout.

New York.-Before a remarkable
assemblage, 20 per cent Of whom were
men noted in American life, and who
had paid more than $4,000 to see the
contest, Knockout" Brown nearly
made himself the lightweight champion
of the world in the ring at the National
Sporting club Friday night.
Wolgast, the champion, held his title
by the sheer simplicity of clinging to
Brown.
Once the championship was within
one punch of Browns. That was in the
second round. Brown delivered
short, shattering left-hand hook to
Wolgast's jaw The champions knees
were sent knocking and his head
bobbed crafty. The crowd screamed
for Brown to send him to the floor, but
Wolgast clung to the left hand that
had dazed him and butted and wriggled
his way out of his predicament
All the way Brown carried the fight
to the champion and in every respect
he repeated his Philadelphia achieve
ment He won in ten rounds over the
champion as thoroughly as he had in
six rounds.

CLEAR UP FRIAR LAND CASES
House Committee Exonerates Officials
of Philippines From Charges Of
IrreguIarIty.

Washington.-Comp eXoneration
of the officers of the Philippine govern
ment of charges of irregularities or i'm
proprieties in connection with the ad-
ministration, sale or lease of lands in
the islands is combined with pointed
criticisms of the inadequacy of the laws
to prevent monopolies in what are
known as the friar lands in both the
majority and minority reports of the
house committee on insular affairs sub.
mitted to the house Friday.
The charge made on the floor of the
house a year ago by Representative
Martin of Colorado that the so-called
sugar trust had acquired $4,000 acres
of friar lands led to an investigation
of the entire question of the admins
tration of public as we'll as friar lands.
AS to the acquisition Of E. L. Poole
of $4,000 acres of the friar lands on
behalf of Horace Havemeyer, Charles
]. Welch and Charles H. Senff, both
reports declare the public officials in
volved were not culpable, being guild
ed by the best available interpretations
of the law.

ADJOURNS SINE DIE
sIxTY-FIRsT CONGRESS PASSED
INTO HISTORY AT NOON
SATURDAY.
BIG SUPPLY BILLS PASSED
Canada Reciprocity Agreement Falls
of Ratification-Tariff Board Bill
Adopted-PIan to Reimburse Lori
ner for Expenses Fails.

Washington-The Sixty-first ses-
sion of congress was adjourned at
noon Saturday, after passing all
the big appropriation measures, but
failing to ratify the Canadian recip-
rocity agreement.
All hope of securing approval of the
reciprocity pact had faded away and
it was displaced by a definite under
standing that the president did not de-
sire the senate to take up the matter
for consideration on the last day of its
session.
With considerable business to be
disposed of the president had lively
apprehension that a sufficient number
of senators might be trapped into be-
ing absent when the vote was taken to
defeat the bill.
Reciprocity aside, practically all of
the important legislation including
supply measures, that was expected
of the session was disposed of when
the gavel fell at noon. Both houses
of congress were in session through
out the night and except for a short
recess this morning remained In con-
tinuous session until the end was
reached.
The president got his permanent
tariff commission. By one of those
unexpected changes in the situation,
the Democratic filibuster against the
bill collapsed in the senate, and after
an agreement was reached to vote on
the tariff commission bill at the un-
usual hour of $50 o'clock.
During the consideration of the gen
eral deficiency bill it was discovered
that it contained an item of $25,000
to defray the expenses of Senator Lor-
inner in defending his title to his seat
in the senate. Just as the clerk was
about to read it Lorimer himself arose.
The next item in the BILL he said,
provides for my reimbursement in
defending my right to seat in this
chamber. The expenses were heavy,
of course and we're incurred very un-
justly. But l feel I cannot permit this
item to be passed upon by the senate
and therefore l ask that this item,
which is an amendment to the house
bill, be not agreed to-"
Commotion followed, and a demand
was made on Senator Hale of the ap-
preparation committee for an explana-
ton He retorted that the committee
had merely followed the custom of re-
imbursing contested election cases and
added:
"I think Mr.. Lorimer has acted wise
ly in not accepting this money. He
has acted wisely all through this case
and in a manner that has won him
friends"
Neither Senator Borah nor Senator
Clark of Arkansas was satisfied with
the explanation, and the former de-
manded to know upon what facts the
committee had based the proposed re-
endorsement.
"The matter was offered in commit
tee," said Senator Hale, land put in
the bill But If senators have not con-
fidence in their committee, the COM
mittee is perfectly willing to accept
their censure."
This closed the incident.

A Woman's Letter.

Women, it is generally admitted,
write better letters than men.
NJ. Marcel Provost has discovered
the reason for this superiority. "The
obvious meaning is never the one we
should read into a woman's letter.
There is always a veiled meaning.
Woman makes use Of a letter just
as she employs a glance or a smile,
in way that is carefully thought out,
and with an eye to effect. And, after
all, does a woman's hat serve to cover
her head? Does a woman's parasol
keep off the sun? Why, then, should
a woman's letter serve to convey her
real thoughts to the person ad-
dressed, just like the letters of some
honest grocer who writes, 4 send you
five pounds Of Coffee because he
really does send you five pounds Of
coffee"

HONEST CONFESSION
"A Doctors Talk on Food.

There are no fairer set of men on
earth than the doctors, and when they
find they have been in error they are
usually apt to make honest and manly

WAR CLOUD is SEEN
ITALY AND AUSTRIA HURRY
TROOPS TO BOUNDARY.
Movement to Regain Possession ot
Trieste Assumes Sudden
Force.

London.-Austria and Italy are hur-
rying troops and guns to the frontier
that separate them. The military
movement is being executed quietly,
but both governments are animated by
spirit which bodies trouble.
The irredentist agitation in Italy
to regain possession of Trieste, on the
coast, and Trent, in the Tyrol, from
Austria has assumed sudden force
and activity.
The question is asked again
whether the triple alliance can stand
the strain to which it is being sub
jected. Indeed, international condi-
tions in Europe seem full of grave
portents at the moment.
Italian feeling resents the decisions
of both Emperor William and EN-
peror Francis Joseph not TO visit their
ally, King Victor Emmanuel, during
the celebration of the jubilee of Italy's
unifcation. That the two monarchs
will absent themselves is regarded as
only another sign of the Indifference
to Italian sentiment which Austria
and Germany have displayed recently,
The crown prince of Germany will
represent his father in Rome, while
the Archduke Francis Ferdinand, the
Austrian heir apparent refuses to go
further than Turin toward Rome.
This Difference paid by Austria to
the prisoner of the Vatican" offends
Italy. Headed by Mayor Nathan, the
Roman municipality has retorted by
naming a street after Herdunk, the ir.
,redentist fanatic who tried to as.
sassinate Emperor Francis Joseph in
1882, a move that certainly will not
pour balm upon existing wounds.
