Several Passed in the Senate. ——__ THE SENATE, Two House bills for bridges across the Mis- souri river at South Pierre, 8.D., and across the Columbia river between Washington and Oregon (being similar to Senate bills that had been passed and sent to the House) wers re- ported back from the committee on commerce, amendedgby a few verbal changes and passed— conference being asked on the amendment. BAISING THR PRICES. Mr. Frye, from the committee on commerce, reported a bill to repeal the law of last Con- gress requiring steam ships to carry guns and rockets for casting lines in cases of distress, and stated the reason for the eof the bill, in order. he said, ‘that the greed of ‘certain co! ies might receive the notice required.” The statement was to the effect that the Lyle gun company furnished to the life-saving stations guns at 87.50; the Hunt gun company guns at $87.25 and the Cunningham rocket company rockets at $20; but that after the enactment of the law steam ships were required to pay #400 for the Lyle gun, 9280 for the Hunt gun and @90 for the rockets, ‘The committee on commerce had considered the matter and now recommended the repeal of the law. : Mr. Cockrell—The bill should be passed this Morning. Mr. Frye—I do not care to have it passed this morning. Let it go on the calendar. Mr. Cockrell—Let it be d now. Mr. Frye—I shall be very happy to have it now, Mr. Hoar suggested that it would be better toletthe matter stand for a day or two, as there might be something to be said on the other side. ‘The bill was placed on the calendar.

SECRETARY WINDOM'S STATEMENT BEFORE THE 3OINT CONGRESSIONAL COMMITTEE ON IMMI- GRATION—DEFENDING THE CHOICE OF BEDLOE ISLAND AS A PROPER LANDING PLACE. The Senate and House committees on immi- gration held their first joint meeting today at which Secretary Windom and Solicitor Hep- burn of the Treasury department were present, and the first-named gave a statement of the reasons that had induced him to take charge of the landing of immigrants at New York. In ‘the course of this statement it was developed that the Ford committee of the last Congress in their report recommended that the national government take charge of this matter. The reports of the manner in which operations at Castle Garden were con- ducted and the condition of affairs there, the Secretary said, also seemed to warrant, if not demand, achange. The Secretary was asked WHY HE HAD SELECTED BEDLOE’S ISLAND as the landing place for immigrants under the new arrangement. He answered that Governor's Island would have suited him just as well—in fact, was examined by him with a view to locating the landing place there, but the military authorities objected to giving up control of the island, and he was compelled to look elsewhere. The Treasu Ke pelpeel had a foothold on Bedloe’s Island, and it bie a deemed weg proper p! to d immigrants, under Sratlow of the statue of liberty. The island contained thirteen acres; five of them are de- voted to the park surrounding the statue and the remainder may be utilized for the neces- sary buildings for the accommodation of im- migrants and the transaction of business, These buildings will be erected on the west side of the island, where they will not inter- fere with the view of the statue. OPPOSED TO USE OF BEDLOE’S ISLAND. Senators McPherson and Evarts asked Secre- tary Windom why Ellis’ island,where the naval powder magazine is now located, would not be a satisfactory site for the immigrant landing station. The Secretary responded that in his opinion it was too low to be used for that purpose. The Senators expressed the views of the op- nents of the proposition to use Bedloe’s island for the purpose in question. They said the statue had been presented to the United States by a citizen of a foreign government. The site had been located by an act of Congress, and by that action the United States dedicated the island, by implication if not directly, as a park in which the statue should stand, and wi nothing else should be located. Solicitor Hepburn's report upon the question of the national govetnment taking control of the landing of immigrants,therecommendations of which largely influenced Secretary Windom, was laid before the committee but not read, and the solicitor himself had no opportunity to be heard today. The committee adjourned subject to call by the chairman without taking any action. THE TAULBEE AUTOPSY. Dr. Lamb Tellsa Star Reporter How it Was Conducted. HOW THE EXAMINATION OF THE EX-CONGRESS- MAN'S SKULL WAS MADE—A GLANCE INTO THE OPERATING ROOM—DR. LAMB SAYS THE CASE WAS A HOPELESS ONE FROM THE FIRST. “Taulbee’s recovery was practically an im- Possibility from the start” said Dr. Lamb this morning toaStax reporter. “The result of the autopsy performed by me yesterday proved that the course of treatment adopted by his physicians was entirely correct, But the case was quite hopeless. I wan't say that men have never recovered from such wounds, One man in 100,000 possessed of a vital- ity altogether extraordinary might pull through under such conditions, but such a case would be a rare exceptior. The doctors were right in not attempting to remove the ball. In my opinion its removal would have only has- tened the patient's death. Bear in mind that it is not the wound itself which in such instances kills, but the disease of the brain that sapervenes. The bullet, entering below the left eye, splintered the bone badly, and the conditions were immedi- ately established for the creation of an abscess, Inflammation set in, pus formed and the man’s death was only a matter of days.” HOW IT WAS DONE. “In what manner did you conduct your in- vestigation of the case?” “All autopsies in medico-legal cases are very much alike. The first thing requisite is to make a thorough examination of the exterior of the body, making memoranda of any un- usual marks found upon it. In Taulbee's case the wound and the grains of powder embedded in the conjunctiva membrane of the eyes were noted; next the passages, as those of the nose and throat, must be looked into, to make sure that: there was no obstruction. A patient chokes to death sometimes, and here is a ques- | G. tion of the cause of death which is to be made 8 subject of cross-examination in a court of law. After going through this performance I intro- duced a probe into the wound beneath the eye to find ont its direction, which was downward and backward for about two inches. Then I was ready to remove the top of the skull in order to find out how things looked inside, It is avery simple matter, All you have to do is to remove tht scalp by folding it away and use the saw. The skull cap removed neatly I took out the brain and laid it aside. full view then was the whole interior of the skull, which I could examine at my leisure, noting the locality and extent of the fractures. An inspection of the brain itself showed the preeence of pus caused by inflammation. It only remained now to make a thorough examina- tion of the interior of the body—the thoracic and abdominal cavities.” WHAT DIDN'T KILL HIM. “Why should that be necessary? It was nothing the matter with his thorax and abdo- men that killed Taulbee.” “To answer your question I'll refer you to the old story of the Irishman who, being asked in court by the cross-examining attorney how far the plaintiff in the case had tumbied, re- plied that he measured the dis- tance with a tape line, and that it was precisely 13!¢ feet. The at- torney inquired for what reeson he did such a thing and the Irishman said that it was ‘be- cause he imagined that some i—n fool lawyer would ask him that hte § question.” That is exactly my case. Ishall be asked in court what killed Taulbee, and it is nec that I should also know just what didn’t kill him, It wouldn't do for me to have to admit that I didn’t know whether he had heart i or net. So I was obliged to inspect all the vital organs and make sure that were sound. And now! can go inte court and swear that there was one possible cause of death, namely the pistol —-—»—____ THE DISTRICT IN CONGRESS, Improvement of Suburban Thorough- fares—Wages of Government Printers. i 3 F gfe bre tant McCALLA’S RED SWORD Capt.

The Officersof the Enterprise Are Telle ing What Commander McCalla Did. New Yours. March 18—The third day'é see sion of the McCaila inquiry was opened today. The court decided that the testimony of each witness shoald be enbmitted to him before it was sent to headquarters, go that the witness could make any corrections he may think necessary. ‘The first witness today was Lient P. J. Mer- lich. He joined the Enterprise im 1888 He told about men being put in pangas jackets and of the men being ironed together; also how af apprentice named Grabam bad been confined in double irons for five days, The apprentice was released by order of Commander McCalla, andthe man had been ironed through some misapprehension. Men were ironed two and two and were kept on deck under guard of a Marine.

This wag while the ship was at Rouen, France. In the case of Fire- man Swaglich, the witness considered the maa had been contined unjustly. On the Enterprise the enforcement of discipiine was not in ac- cordance with the rules of the navy. He did not think the officers of the ship were derelict in their duty. At Constadt much liquor was smuggled aboard and men became drunk on duty. Itwas the worst offense a man could commit. A number of the crew sent ashore for target practice got drunk and threw away their arms. Aseaman named Sutherland attempted to jump overboard to escape punishment. He was stopped by members of the crew. The Enterprise was not as clean a ship as some ships the witness had been in. He thought the men had too much liberty, At Plymouth liberty was given to thirty men at 1 o'clock am the morning. Dr. C, H. Herndon was the next witness, He is the surgeon of the Enterprise. He told of the cutting down of Walker. A little before midnight he went on deck and was told Walker had been cut down by McCatla. He dressed a wound in Walker's head about one and one-half inches long. Morphine was given him because he was noisy and this was repeated about 2 o'clock. Witness did not see the gag in the mouth of Walker. The treat- ment the man received was the best that could be given him after he was wounded. The wound was uot dangerous.
