Tonowto, Oxt., Jan. 21.—The Globe today publishes the following sensgtional special from Washington: ‘Interest in Canadian matters was a good deal excited here last week by a visit from oneof the editors of the Toronto Empire, » Dominion government organ, appar- ently sent here specially to investigate whether or not the editor of the Toronto Mail had been pro ‘ting annexation sentiments in the minds of the Hoar committee in order to induce them to report adversely to intimate trade rela- tions, because such relations would postpone political union, The Empire man interviewed several Senators on the committee on Can relations and much to the surprise of the dem- ocratic members they laerned the fact that Ed- ward Farrer, editor of the Mail, bad been before the republican members in secret session and that the information thus received, which does not form any part of the record, has not been conveyed to the democratic members, Considerable feeling has been engendered between the two sections of the committee in consequence. Tho representa- tive of the Empire satisfied himself that the republican members had been greatly influ- euced by the representations from the Mail office,” ascaienageaan Telegraphic Rifle Matches. Orrawa, Owr., Jan. 21.—Another great rifle scheme is proposed for next season, a series of telegraphic matches between teams representa- tive of the chief cities of the United States and Canada. The proposition emanates from Capt. John G. Shepperd, secretary of the national rifle associatign of America,who thinks such matches will develop shooting intercsts in both coun- tries and tend to the improvement of weapons and methods, It has also been suggested that a Canadian team should visit Creedmoor next season and an American team visit Rideau, — Dead—Gas.

The House Committee Sets Itself at} An Amendment Suggested in Work to Solve It. ‘MR. SPRINGER'S PROPOSAL TO BALLOT FOR THE SITE TO BE CONSIDERED NEXT THURSDAT—uB. BELDEN THINES THE FAIR OUOET TO BE PosT- PONED 4 YEAR—NEW YORK AND CHICAGO TAC- Tice, The special House committee on the world’s tair held its first meeting this morning in the room of the House committee on territories. All of the members were present except Mesars. Hatch and Bowden, MR. SPRINGER URGES HIS BALLOT PROPOSITION. Mr. Springer called up his resolution pro- viding that the House shall proceed next Thurs- day to select the site for the fair by ballot and it was discussed for an hour. Mr. Springer urged the importance wail gaged action an the proposition. He 1 held that by its action on the Cannon resolution last week the House had virtually decided that the matter must be settled as early as ible, and that the committee was cactienlly under instruc- tions and was as much bound by them as if they had been formulated. He argued that the House could not move in the matter until it had first settled where the fair was to be held, MR. HITT DEPRECATES DELAY. Mr. Hitt also declared in favor of the imme- diate selection of a site by the House and pointed out how delay jeapardized the chances of the fair, He said that the committee on foreign affairs had been working for some time ie the He r billsand had practical: bers leted the preliminary arrangements, All of the re- sults of their work could be made use of by this committee, but the site should be first agreed upon. MR. FLOWER WANTS TO TALK NEXT MONDAY. Mr. Flower thought that the date fixed for balloting in the Springer resolution (Thuraday next) was a little too soon, He suggested that @ resolution be reported providing for debate in the house next Monday—one hour and a half to be allowed for the presentation of tho claims of each city, to be followed by balloting on Tuesday. MR. BELDEN THINKS OTHER QUESTIONS COME rest. Mr. Belden, at this point, expressed a doubt as to whether any fair could be held in 1892. It should first be settled that the government would give money aid to the fair before an at- tempt was made to select the site. This brought the Washington men to the floor with a strong objection. They contended that to adopt Mr. Belden’s course would result in com- lining all of the other contending cities against Washington, Mr. Belden’s idea was that an historical cele- bration conid be held in 1892, to be followed a year later by the world’s fair. NOTHING LESS THAN A WORLD 8 FAIR. The cuawuman » 2 was here called to the language of the resolution under which the committee was appointed, which speaks of a world’s fair in 1892, and the point was made that the committee had no alternative and could deal with no proposition that did not concern a fair to be held in that year, A SUBCOMMITTEE PROPOSED. Mr. Frank of Missouri offered a resolution thatthe Springer resolution (providing for balloting by the House next Thursday) be re- ferred toa subcommittee of three, with In- structions to report at the next committee meeting. Subsequently the motion was modified so as to make the chairman of the full committee also chairman of the subcommittee and to have it report next Thursday, Mr. Springer said that if this motion was de- feated, he would move to modify his proposi- tion 80 as to have the debate in the House next Monday, and the balloting Tuesday, as sug- gested by Mr. Flower. THE NEW YORK MEMBERS TOOK ALARM at this, however, as it was apparently the ob- ject of the Chicagoans to get the chairman to vote and ascertain his views. The Chicagoans had calculated on Mr, Flower voting with them in support of his own proposition. This would leave the remaining three members present, besides the chairman, in the opposition. and compel the chairman to vote to break a tie, and it was not re- garded as desirable that the chairman should be committed at this early date; so when Mr. Frank’s resolution was put the two Chicago men found themselvesalone in opposition, and it prevailed, so the chairman was instructed to appoint a subcommittee to consider the Springer resolution and report next Thursday, when the committee will meet again, THE SUBCOMMITTEE APPOINTED. Later the subcommittee was selected as fol- lows: Chairman Candler and Mewsrs, Hitt and Flower, ‘The committee decided to hear no oral argu- ments respecting the site of the fair, Then the committee instructed the chairman to ask for permission to sit during the sessions of the House, and adjourned till Thursday, THE SENATE COMMITTEE ON WORLD'S FAIR, Senator Hiscock has been absent from the city for several days, and no meeting of the Senate committee on world's fair has been called. Tho committee is waiting on Mr. Depew, All of the speeches made before the committee have been submitted with the ex- ception of Mr. Depew's. His is still wituheld for revision. — RERATED MEN MUST GO. Commissioner Raum Says Too Much Leniency Has Been Shown Them, Gen. Raum, the commissioner of pensions, in talking today about the removal of Mr. Phillips, a chief of division, said that he told Mr. Phillips several weeks ago that he could not be permitted to retain his position. ‘While I believe,” continued Gen. Raum, “that old soldiers should receive every cent of pen- sion that the law allows, yet I do not think it is right for men in this office to take advantage of their posi- tion to press their own cases, while there are thousands of cases of men who have never re- ceived a pension awaiting adjudication. That is the injustice in many of these rerated sion cases of employes of the office. much leniency has already been shownfto those men, They have drawn large sums of money from the Treasury in this way, and naturally they are not going to resign until they are Stiges to. I propose that action in all these cases be taken a8 promptly as possible.” A LEGAL QUESTION. Gen. Raum said that Attorney General Shields was considering the question of the re- covery of the money paid to these men, He said that there were diffiulties in the way. There was a decision that had been made as far back as the year 1837, which heid that in a case where money was paid to & pensioner through an error that it must be treated asadebt and collected the same as other debts. If this decision was ad- hered to it would be necessary to begin suit against the pensioners for the collection of debt. and this might not prove to be effective in recoving the boson jad it might in some cases be placed beyond the reach of execution. A MURDERED INFANT. The Police Investigating the Mystery of » Baby’s Death. Shortly after 8 o’clock this morning a colored man passing along the Baltimore and Obio railroad track between D and E streets, on his way to work, had his atten- tion attracted to a bundle of peculiar shape Too wentto the place and took the body to the morgue. It is that of whitechild newly born. It was large and apparently had been a most robust child, There was some clothing on it, The bead and face were entirely covered with ieceot cotton of two thicknesses drawn tight; | Oter the face and tied securely at ie beck ef et the babe was twenty-four today ie reported to be 198 against $1 quence of a kKievent Some time ago, as stated in Tae time, Mr. John Holtzman applied for a torepairsome rame dwellings in square 724. Asis customary in such cases the building inspector sent his assistant, Mr. Holmes, to report upon the case. The regulations say tht where a frame house has been damaged by fire or otherwise to tie extent of one-half its value it cannot be repaired. As Mr. Holmes Tes orted thit such was the case in the houses above nientioned the inspector of buildings refused the permit, Subsequently, however, he sent another assistant upgn the request of Mr. Holtzman to look into the matter, but his an ene es former sssist- ant’s. Under the building regulations; when one is dissatisfied with the action of the building in- spector, he may appeal to a committee com- posed of one architect and two master builders, who shall examine into the cause of the diffi- culty and report thereon, This Mr. Holtzman did, but the committee stood by the building regulations and supported thé building in- Spector. DECISION OF THE COURT. Mr. Holtzman again appealed the case and went into court and asked that an injunctionbe issued against the Commissioners preventing them from obstructing him in the repair of his property. The court granted the injunction, claiming that the building regulations had not been complied with, inasmuch as the in- spector of buildings had not made a personal examination of the premises, as required ‘The injanctien was granted without preju- dice to the case—in other words, should the law of examination be fully rer d with, the court would sustain the action of the inspector of buildings in having old and dilapidated frame dwellings removed from within fire limits. 4 LETTER FROM THE BUILDING INSPECTOR. In a letter to the Commissioners today the building inspector has requested the Commis- sioners to so amend the regulations as to em- Ro ‘er his assistant to perform this and other luties in his line as occasion may require. The Commissioners will make the desired change. ———— ae THE GRIM GRIP. The Death Record at the Health OfMfice— Pneumonia and Lung Troubles, During the sixty hours ending at 2 o'clock today 61 deaths were reported to the heaith office. Only 18 were reported in the last twenty-four hours. Of the 61 deaths men- tioned 17 were from pneumonia, three occurring in the past twenty-four hours; 5 from bronchitis, 4 from conjestion of lungs, four from consumption. In two cases the grip was given as the cause of death and in one the cause was stated, “la grippe-pneu- monia.” The figures of yesterday showed that over fifty percent of the deaths were caused by lung diseases, but within the past twenty- four hours the deaths have fallen off one third, but including consumption the percentage of lung disease remains about the same, ANOTHER VICTIM. Mr. Andrew Sprohs, the well known restau- rant keeper on C street near 6th, died this morning after a short illness of pneumonia following an attack of grip. Mr. Sprohs was over fifty years of age and came here about 1862 and for some years was a news agent fol- lowing the army. INCBEASING ¥ATALITY OF LUNG DISEASES, Forty-three deaths were reported to the health office during the forty-eight nours end- ing at 2 o'clock, THE CITY POST OFFICE, The grip no longer reigns supreme at the city post office, and its power is evidently broken. Clerks and carriers are rapidly get- ting back to work and ail mail now is delivered on schedule time. Yesterday affairs were in a better stute than they hdd been for several weeks before, and today there is a marked im- provement over yesterday. Capt, Rosseli is still confined to his home with a bad case of the grip. — THE DISTRICT IN CONGRESS. ST. ROSE INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL. Senator Vance, from the committee on the District of Columbia, reported favorably the bills incorporating St. Rose industrial school and vesting in the vestry of Christ church title to square south of square 1092 in this city. TO AMEND THE ECKINGTON RAILROAD CHARTER. The House District committee today further considered the bill to amend the charter of the Eckington railwa: DISTRICT GOVERNMENT. RULES FOR PLUMBERS NEEDED. Fora long time past the pes of the District have felt the needs of some rules and regulations governing their work. At the last n of Congress a bill was pro- d, and passed one Honse, authorizing the Commissioners to make such rules and regula- tions as they might deem necessary, but owing to the lack of time the bil! was lost and did not become a law, ‘Today Mr. E. J. Hannan, presi- dent of the National plumbing association, with M. Jas, Rayan, the president of the local asso- ciation, and Mr. G, A. Green, the secre- tary of both associations, called upon the Commissioners and urged the favorable con- sideration of the bill No. 1059 now before them, having in view the granting of power to the Commistioners to make rules and regulations for the guidance of plumbers. Mr. Hannan spoke at Jength in the board room on the necessity of such a law. and, actng upon the advice of the Commissioners, the delegation wil! put their request ina letter, which they will submit for transmission to Congress. The Commissioners are in favor of the bill, LIQUOR LICENSES IN THE COUNTY. The consideration of the applications for liquor licenses in the county has been deferred until tomorrow, when they will be taken up and acted upon. ° POLICEMEN RESIGN Jobh Middleton and R. H.

FOUR OF THR FIVE SHOTS STRUCK BENTOR— SHOEMAKER M'INTOSH AND OTHERS DESCRIBE THE SHOOTING—BENTON GAID TO HAVER BEER THE AGGRESSOR IN THE FATAL MEETIXG. Deputy Corcner Schaeffer this afterncon made a post mortem examination of the body of Henry Benton. who was shot and killed by Edward McClelland in South Washington last night, and found that four bullets had entered the body. A piece of lead that entered near the neck in front proved fatal. The other three bullets entered the back. Coroner Pat- terson held inquest over the body at the sixth pfecinct station st 1 o'clock this after- noon, The prisoner, McClelland, was present and heard the testimony. He appeared nervous and seemed to fuily realize the seriousness of his position. wu’ INTOSH'S STORY OF THE TRAGEDY. The first witness called was Francis Mo- Intosh, the shoemaker at whose place the shooting occurred, The old man has been sick for some time, and he was feeble and nervous. He testified that last night he was sitting in his room near the stove when Mc- Clelland came in and asked him how he was. “He had not been in there more than ten min- utes,” said the witness, “‘before this here Ben- ton rushed in on him. Benton had threatened grec ptegensc ‘agp ms “Never mi the threats,’ @ coroner, “tall what he did.” , Benton rushed toward McCielland, con- tinued the witness, and he (McC.) ran behind the rocking chair in which witness was sitting. The prisoner backed away from him. He had his hand on his overcoat pocket at the time. Benton said: ¥ gun, ain't you?” and added, “you —- —' McClelland said: “Yes, but I don’t want any trouble with you.” THE SHOTS, Benton, the witness said, made an attempt to strike McClelland, when the latter fired the firstshot Benton then turned aroand and started through the middle door, Three more shot were fired, but witness did not see them. When the first shot was fired the men were close together and facing each other. “Is this the jury?” asked the witness, “Yes, sir,” answered the coroner. “Well, I want to tell you one and all,” said the old man, *‘that this here man was justifiable in what was done. I would say eo if it was my own brother.” “Was Benton in the habit of visiting your hone?” asked a juror. “Yes, sir,” he replied. “When he was under the influence of liquor, and he always raised a fuss, He has been threatening Mr. MoCielland for a long time.” CLEARING THE CROWD AWAY. By this timea large crowd had collected about the door of the station house, They were mostly friends of the dead man, and the police closed the door toavoid any possible trouble. ANOTHER MAN WHO SAW IT. The next witness called was William Estes, shoemaker, who lives at McIntosh’s, He tes- tifled that when Benton came in he said to Mc- Clelland: “You seem to be a pretty regular visitor here.” The latter replied in effect that it was none of Benton's business, Witness heard Benton say: “I suppose you have your hand on your gun now” and McClel- land replied that he had. MeIntosh then asked Benton why it was that igi cante into his house without raising a fuss, Benton rushed at McClelland and struck at him. The latter warded off the blow with his left hand and drew his revolver with his right. As Benton *Pi roached the prisoner, the wit- neaa continued, he said that if ever he caught him (McC, “monkeying around there again” he would do something to him, but witness did not understand what he said he would do. Wit- nese knew he made use of some bad word, They were facing each other at that time and then the shooting commenced, After the first shot was fired Benton turned and went into the front room where he fell. McClelland went as fer as the middle door, but both lights went out and ’ witness could not see what also took place. The shots were fired in rapid succession. Witness said that Benton seemed to be under the influence of liquor. Every time Benton visited the house, he said, he created trouble of some sort. M'CLELLAND SOUGAT TO AVOID HIM. In answer toa question suggested by the prisoner the witness said that a couple of nights “go, when Benton came in.one door McClelland ‘went out of another door to avoid him, John Flemming, who lives on C street, was next examined, He was present when the shooting occurred and his testimony corrob- orated the witnesses previously on the stand. THE MAN WHO GOT THE PISTOL, Christian Sproesser, of No. 2053¢ 7th street, testified thatabont o'clock last night the prisoner came to his shop on 10th street, called him out and said: “Take this,” handing him an indiana Bull Dog” revolver. He said: “I have done it.” Witness walked with him toward the station house, the prisoner saying that he was going to give him- self up. As they waiked along toward the station McClelland told him that he had killed Benton. Benton told him on New Year's day of the trouble be had had with McClelland, Witness said that he kept the revolver until he closed his shop and not wanting to keep it he threw it up on the cattle sheds at 12th and B streets. OTHER TESTIMONY. Policeman Henry told what he knew of the affair and Dr. Schaeffer gave evidence as to the autopsy. THE VERDICT. The jury found that death. was caused by wounds inflicted by McClelland, and the coro- ner committed him to jail to answer. ——— A Complicated Case.
