Washington, June 16.—Senator Gal- linger does mnot believe in diverting the irrigation fund so as to utilize it for drainage purposes and said so { when Senator Mallory attempted to get the senate to act on a resolution authorizing- a survey of the Florida everglades with the end in view of determining the practicability of draining them and converting them into farming lands. He referred to Senator Hansbrough’s bill for the drainage of a million acres of over- flowed land in North Dakota and also to other projects, saying that there are many swamp lands in the New England states and adding: “If the country is going to get into that kind of game we want fo get into it.” Tillman concurred and said: “If this kind of cake i out I will want my viece. to be served Ladies’ Summer ¥ They are well made and of IMPORTANT —.—.__-——_ DOINGS IN IMPORTANT STOCKS Gent’s Furnishings.

CANAL A PAYING INVESTMENT. 8enator Morgan Reassures Senate on That Point. ‘Washington, June 16.—Senator Mor- gan expressed the opinion in the sen- ate that the Panama ¢anal will prove a paying investment. 'The statement was made in connection with the read- ing of a letter written him by General George W. Davis concerning the prof- itable character of the Suez canal. In that letter General Davis said that the stock of the Suez enterprise com- mands a premium of 900 per cent on the Paris bourse. . “Let us get rid of the idea that we are golng to give away s great deal of money in connection with the can- al,” said the Alabama senator: *“I City of Carnage Now Held in Firm Grip of the Military.—City In Flames. i believe that If 1t were a stock concern the stock would be worth $500 on the $100 within a few years after the completion, notwithstanding I fully ap- preciate the physical difficulties in the way of building a canal at the place decided upon. Let us therefore put away all hysteria and despair on the financial feature of the canal project. The figures on the Suez canal are re- assuring on that point.” SHAKEUP IN FEDERAL COURTS.

For a time Mr. Bry- an was the center of attraction in the lobby of the house, holding a regular reception of members of parliament who were anxious to-be presented. Deputations of Jews and Poles wanted him to define his attitude on ques- tions affecting them and he was be- sieged by foreign and Russian corre- spondents anxious to secure his views on the outcome of the parliamentary struggle here. But beyond an expres- sion of profound interest in the fight the Russian people were making for liberty and the deep impression made upon him by the Russian parliament Mr. Bryan declined to make a state- ment.

To Milan is owed the word “milll- nery,” a milliner baving been original- Iy a Milaner, an importer of feminine finery from Milan, just as a'“cordwain- er,” shoemaker, was a worker in ‘“‘cor- douan,” leather from Cordova. It is ‘eurius to note how many words have come from the geographical names of northern Italy. There is, for instance, “florin,” the coin of Florence, and “pis- tol,” from Pistoja. Dr. Johnson said that the word “job” was “a low word now much in use, of Avhich I cannet tell the etymology.” It is supposed to be really identical with “gob,” a mouthful or morsel. Pepys records how “my lord” said to him, “I ‘will do you all the good jobs I can, and Pepys himself speaks of Tangie: as “hitherto- used as a jobb to do n kindness to some lord.” But the sim- ple monosyllabic ugliness of the word ‘was too much for Johnson. Many words of most august sound prove to be of quite commonplace an- cestry when traced to their origin: “Finance” is really only “settling up. Literally it is just “ending” and wus formerly ‘used In that very simple sense in the English language. Then it came to signify settling up with a creditor and acquired the special scnse of ransom. 8 B 1,300 feet. ish army.

Rebel Chief Bambaata Killed in Fight- ing in Natal. Durban, Natal, June 16.—It is now ; SEMITIC OUTBREAK AT BIA- LYSTOK, RUSSIA. Blalystok, Russia, June 16.—So far as can be ascertained thirty Jews were killed during the sutbreak here. The hospitals are filled with wounded, j but it is impossible to ascertain the i correct number of the casualties, as many of the injured are hidden in Drivate houses. All the Jewish shops on the four princlpal streets were sacked. Military and police patrols now he witnessed these displays, heard guard the streets and no civilians are the music and once saved a ship from allowed to leave their houses. A sort of armed truce has been established pending the complete restoration of order. According to thé best information obtainable the attacks on the Jews were provoked by the throwing of a bomb into a religious procession, se- riously wounding a priest, Father Fe- daroff, who was at the head of the procession, and several of his assist- ants. This aroused the Christian pop- ulation and although the perpetrators of the outrage were unknown the re- sponsibility was promptly placed on the Jews. A mob was soon formed and for several hours ravaged the Jewish quarters, pillaging the shops and hunting down and beating their occupants. For hours the bodies of the dead and wounded lay uncared for in the streets. The Jews concealed themselves in cellars and attics in order to escape the fury of the mob and many fled from the city.

EMPIRE INCIDENT CLOSED. Vessel Lands Men and Munitions Be- fore Warship Arrives. ‘Washington, June 16.—The steamer Empire incident is closed as far as the United States navy is concerned and although the United States cruis- er Marblehead and the Empire are both still at Corinto, Nicaragua, the Empire may sail without interference from the cruiser. Commander Mulligan was unable to get north from Panama soon enough to prevent the Empire from landing men and arms and ammunition at San Jose, Guatemala. Consequently when he found the Empire back at Corinto, Nicaragua, without arms and ammu- nition he was instructed not to take any action, because the statute under which he was acting does not provide for the punishment of any offense against neutrality laws, but only for the prevention of violations of neu- trality.

More Questions Relating to Meat In House of Commons. London, June 16.—A fresh lot of questions relating to the Chicago meat packing disclosares © are being pre- pared for presentation in the house of commons next week. Michael Hicks- Beach, son of the former chanceilor of the exchequer, will ask War Secre- tary Haldane to inform the house the quantity of Chicago canned meat sup- plied to the troops. in South Africa during the late war and what propor- tion of enteric deaths ought more properly to have beem described as due to “ptomaine poisoning.” Anotz.er question is based on the discovery in the dining room of the house of commons of a box marked “Armour’s (St. Louis, Chicago 3gnd Kansas City) Chickens.” Frederick E. Smith, Unionist, will inquire what portion of the food supplied to the members of the house comes from Chi- cago. EXPULSION RECOMMENDED. Massachusetts . Legislator Likely to Lose His Seat.

INDUSTRIAL AGITATION INCREASING WORKMEN ABANDON HOPE OF GAINING THEIR DEMANDS BY ' PEACEFUL MEANS. 8t. Petersburg, June 16.—The press is unanimous in its profound pessi- mism over Thursday’s events in the lower house of parliament. The situa- tion 1s strained to the breaking point. The attempt of the military procu- rator, General Pavloff, in behalf of ‘War Minister Rudiger, to shift the re- sponsibility for the military execu- tions to the minister of the interior i3 a palpable evasion of the issue raised by the house and has echoed throughout the country. The result is that a storm of indignation has been aroused and is being avgmented by the cool attempt of the government to invade the inviolability of the mem- bers of pariiament by its demand for the expulsion of M. Ulianoff. Whether the government dares fol- low up legally the refusal of the house to expel M. Ulianoff and its flaunting of Procurator Pavloff is now the ques- tion. Unless the government is def- Injtely resolved to give battle the Go- remykin ministry must fall into the chasm between it and parliament, which is now unbridgeable. M. Al- ladin, leader of the peasant workmen group, openly boasted from the ros- trum that the death of the ministers ‘would be the country’s rejoinder to the government’s refusal to abolish the death penalty. Some of the pa- pers believe that Thursday’s events definitely foreshadow the govern- ment’s Intention to Dissolve Parllament and they emphasize the military con- spiracy of the officers of the guard regiments, which is progressing un- checked before everybody’s eyes at the capital. It is significant that the Novoe Vremya, hitherto a thick and thin supporter of the government, is sllent. The Rech and the Strana, which of the liberal papers best keep their heads in: times of stress, sadly comment on rapidly waning chances of an understanding being arrived at between the emperor and parliament. ‘They consideér that the only hope now 1ies in the emperor discarding his evil advigers immediately and trying the experiment of surrounding himself with representatives of the people. The agitation among the workmen here 13 Increasing and several strikes are already in operation. At a meet- ing of 5,000 Social Democratic work- men it was declared that parliament had engaged in fatlle talk for 2 month and had done nothing and that the ‘workmen must have recourse to a gen- eral strike. Representatives of the bakers announced that the bakeries would be closed in a few days and ihat the city would be without bread. BURGLARS LOOT CHURCHES. 8everal Thousand Dollars’ Worth of Plunder Secured.
