RELICS OF THE MAINE.
secretary Meyer Plans for n Public
Distribution.

Secretary Meyer will suggest to Con-
grass that the department be authorized
% distribute portions of the wreck Of the
attic ship Maine, now lying in Havana
Harbor, to such quasipublic and public
organizations as may desire to possess
relics of the vessel.
Secretary Meyer is opposed to any meas
ure which would permit the sale of por-
tions Of the Maine for profit by any firm
or individual. He does favor, however,
the lending or giving of pieces of the
vessel or her equipment TO patriotic or
ganizations, soldiers monument societies,
posts of the G. A. R., municipal corpora
tions, civic bodies, States of the Union,
and to the President of the republic OF
Cuba, as may be requested.
1t will be suggested by the Secretary
that he be authorized by Congress to
exercise his discretion in the matter of
distributing relics, and to draw up such
regulations as he may deem suitable.
The Secretary will ask that 1t be stipu-
lated that the Navy Department or the
government shall be at no expense In
distributing relics, except as to such as
may be given to the President of Cuba.

WIDE SEARCH FOR
SLAYER is VAIN
Police of Many Cities Watch
for Italian.

Albany, Dec. 15.-The police OF every
| city of the country have been asked to
look for Edward Donate, the farmland
who is suspected of numbering Mrs.
Conrad Morner, her son Arthur, and
her daughters Edith and Blanche, whose
mutilated bodies were found on Wednes-
day night on their farm in De Freesville,
/ in a refuse pit under the barn
floor and in a drainage well near by.
Sheriff Cottrell, of Rensselaer, County,
received word this morning that an
italian answering the description of Do
nato had been arrested in Buffalo, but
at almost the same time the police of
Springfield, Mass, reported that they
thought the man is in that city and
would soon be caught. a man from the
sheriffs Office will be sent to Buffalo
to look over the suspect there.
Donate is described as being very dark,
about feet 6 inches in height, and
weighing about 12O pounds. He is said to
be very good looking, with rather promi-
nent dark ewes. When last seen he wore
brown striped suit and long overcoat.
Donate had such a good start and there
are so many Italians who answer his de-
scription that Sheriff Cottrell is not SAN
guine of capturing him. If he is not
insane, which the sheriff strongly sus-
pletely out of sight. Nobody knows
where he came from when he went to
work for the Morners. A letter he had
written TO his father, which was found
among his effects, bore no address.
The letter was written in Italian, like
the note found on the piano in the farm
house, which spoke of making sausage of
Americans. Donate said in the letter
that he was tired of his job with the
Morners. and that he wanted to go home.
He said he intended to enlist in the
Italian army and fight the Turks.
The sheriff found other letters which
may help in the search for the missing
farmland. They were written TO Do
nato by his father and several of his
friends. Most of them gave no indication
of the writer's address, but there were
few that bore the name of the town
from which they came.
Donate went to the Morner farm on
August 10 from the Empire Employment
Agency, in this city, according to Mr..
Vincent, manager of the agency.
Donate had only just left his applica-
tion," said Mr. Vincent, when Mr.. Nor
ner walked in and asked me If we had
any farm hands out of work. l referred
him to Donate, who was standing near
the door. Donate agreed to go to work
Immediately. That was the last ! saw
of him"
Although no one now living saw Do
nato after 3:3O o'clock on Tuesday aft
ernoon, he is thought to have been in his
room after dark, because one of the
neighbors saw a light there. At 3:3O
o'clock he went to the house of a Mrs.
Mccain, a short distance up the road,
and asked her 10 mend some rents in
his clothes. Mrs. McCann did the mend
ing and also sewed several buttons on.
She saw no bloodstains on the clothes
John Morris, a Rensselaer, grocer, is
positive in his belief that Arthur Nor
ner drove past his store about o'clock
on Tuesday afternoon. When Arthur
body was taken out of the drainage we'll
1t was found that his watch had stopped
at > o'clock.

NO DISTRICT BUILDINGS.
Public Buildings Bill VIII BE n
Pork Barrel Affair.""

The House Committee on Public Build
ings and Grounds will not report out any
bill calling for public buildings in the
District this session unless the present
attitude of its members changes mate
rally. The S40OOO.OOO omnibus public
buildings bill, which the committee in
sists it will prepare. and which Chairman
Underwood, of the Ways and Means Com
mittee. Chairman Henry, Of the Rules
Committee, and other House leaders say
will be suppressed in the interest of
Democratic economy, will be purely
pork barrel affair. Members of the
Democratic majority are given carte
blanche to toss into Its composition any
tricts, and it will contain nothing else.
The proposed new buildings on the Mall
for the State, Commerce and Labor, and
Justice departments. for which sites have
ben selected and architects drawings APP
proved, will not, in all probability, be
advanced beyond their present stage at
this session. The committees programme
as now mapped out does not include
bills calling for appropriations on these
items.
Even the bill introduced during the
extra session by Chairman Sheppard, of
Texas, providing for a national archives
building in the District will be held back
in Difference to the general demand that
any money to be expended on public
buildings at this session be put where it
will do the most goOd-to Democratic
members who want to return to Congress.

SULZER CALLS ON KNOX.
Pleased with Action of House on
Passport Questions.

Representative William SuIzer called
upon Secretary Knox yesterday and ex-
pressed great satisfaction at the almost
unanimous vote by which the House
passed his resolution demanding the
termination of the treaty of 1892 with
Russia, and at the favorable reception
accorded his resolution in the Senate.

negotiation of a new treaty with Russia
will follow Immediately the termination
OF the existing agreement. The action of
Congress. he says, will give the State
Department a splendid oportunity for
making an ''up-to-date treaty with Rus
sia," Representative Sulzer said. The
New York member did not say how he
thought Russia would view the matter.

Senator George T. Oliver. of PennsyI-
vania, took the stand before the House
steel investigating committee yesterday
and related how freight rates from the
Great Lake ports discriminate against the

average cost to the railroad in handling
ore from the Lakes to Pittsburg was
2SI3 cents a ton last year. The Pitts

PLAN TO PRESERVE
WRECK OF MAINE.
Urgent Deficiency Bill Pro-
Vides for Distribution.

The urgent deficiency bill. carrying ap-
proximately $2,275, 900, was reported to the
House late yesterday afternoon. and will
be considered to-day. The most impor-
tant recommendation in the bill reported
from the Appropriations Committee re-
CARDS the disposition of the wreck of the
Maine, to complete the raising of which
the sum of $4,000 is allowed.
Instead of ordering that the wreck of
the battle ship shall be towed out to sea
and buried or brought to the United
States, the bill provides that a portion
of the ship shall be given to the re-
public of Cuba in order that II may
erect Maine memorial in Havana. The
Secretary of War and the Secretary of
the Navy are also authorized to furnish
parts of the wrecked ship to municipah-
ties and historic societies who may apply
lated, however, that such applicants
must promise to preserve the pieces of
the famous ship, the explosion of which
caused the war with Spain.
As soon as the bill becomes law 1t is
anticipated that the government will be
besieged with requests for portions OF
the wreckage.
The urgent deficiency bill contains the
following important items covering def
purposes to finish out the present fiscal
year:
For completing the work of the thir-
teenth census and tabulating reports,
S5O0,0OO The bureau asked for 1000, 900,
but the committee allowed only half the
amount.
For mileage of Senators and Repre-
sentatives, 500, 200.
Miscellaneous expenses of select and
Special Congressional committees, eXclu-
sive of salaries, $4,000.
To complete construction of flreproof
laboratory, Bureau of Standards, $780,
co.,
For furnishings for the House Office
building and renewal of locks on doors of
members offices, $11,047
Upkeep of public buildings, S6S,916
Salaries and other expenses connected
with the Marine Hospital Service and
of hospitals, $99. 600.
The Bureau of Engraving and Printing.
$S7O.O .OOO. Much of this amount is needed
because Of the urgent demand for bills
Of small denomination, which the bureau
must print in rush to supply the unpre-
requests for small bills.
To complete work on two revenue cut
ters, $50, 900.

PENSIONS FOR HORSES.
Recommendation Made by the Local
Humane society.

The Washington Humane Society makes
plea for the old work horse that has
outlived its usefulness. The bulletin de-
clares that 1t is better to shoot an old
horse than to sell it to some one who
probably would continue TO work 1t.
The Humane Society recommends that
the horse be pensioned for faithful serv-
ice by being given a comfortable stall or
a pleasant meadow in which to spend
it's last days.
The bulletin asks the government to
aid in the fight for the horse by enact
ing some regulation preventing the sale
of a horse under specified price.
