M. Ribot took the news of Ferry’s death to President Carnot, who was very much affected yy the announcement. The president said: “It is the disappearance of one of the reserve forces of the republic—a precious reserve.” The republican newspapers appear bordered in black.

The ‘squire was the English backer of Charlie Mitchell, the British pugilist soon to fight Cor- bert, Hall, defeated in the recent $40,000 prize fight here with Lob Fitzsimmons. Mr. Baird was very wealthy. Since arriving in New Orleans he had been leading a life of dissipation and since Hall's defeat he hardly went to bed until he broke down in health. ‘ew York, March 18.—Charlie Mitchell and Hall arrived from Butfaio at the Grand entral depot at 10:35 o'clock this morn They went to the Gedney House at once, whe: they found a telegram to Mitchell annoancing the death of the ‘squire. Mitchell began eend- ; ing telegrams at once about his death. He ap- peared greatly affected by the news. ‘The first telegram was to A. Monk, quire’s valet, at New Orleans. “It was: use of coming to New Orleans now.” ‘This referred to Mitchell's pian of going by train tomorrow. He followed it up with an- other to Monk. it read: “Have ‘squire «1 balmed and bronght to New York right away.

CHAIRMAN HARRIS’ TALK. trict Committee and District Appropria- tions—An Interview With Senator McMillan —What Was Done in the Last Congress. Senator Isham G. Harris of Tennessee, who by the change of control in the Senate will be the chairman of the District comfittee for some time to come, has been a member of that committee for many yeurs and is thoroughly 4 prominent part in the work of legislating for the Distret, and so far as a knowledge of local affairs is concerned is as well fitted as any member on the democratic side of the Senate to occupy the position of chairman of the com- mittee. Senator Harris was seen at his residence, 13 Ist street northeast, by a reporter of Tux STAR last night and expressed himself very freely regarding several points which will require hie attention and that of the new Senate commit- tee on the District of Columbin. ‘THE DISTRICT COMMITTEE AND APPROPRIATIONS. In reference to the resolution recently intro- duced by Senator Sherman to so change the rules that hereafter the District appropriation instond of the coramittee on appropriations he said: ‘About eight or ten years ago there was a thorough reurganization ‘of the ruies of the Senate, and among the propositions offered for consideration was that now proposed by Mr. Sherman, to have the District approvriation bill referred to the District committee. The roposition was opposed, if I remember rightly, y Mr. Edmunds, while Tdebaxed the question with him on the other side at some lengih. A majority of the Senate, however, upheld Mr. Edmunds, and the change in the rules was not ade. There are obvious and apparent reaco: why the bill should be considered by the Dis- trict committee. It is their business to be thoroughly conversant with the conditions and needs of the District, and othera sh be qualiied to act on |the Dill. ‘There is “more necessity that this bill should be acted on by the District committee than that the river and harbor pill should receive attention at the hands of the commerce committee. I have not changed my opinion of years ago and I as heartily favor the change as then. What the chances are for the adoption of the resolu- s I have not canvassed the Senate on it and do not know the present proposed change, but it should be made. As far as I personally, as chairman of the senate District committee. am concerned I would gindly leave the work to some one else, as it entails a great deal of labor and time, but never:beiess the proper commit- tee to act on the District appropriation bill is the commitiee on the District of Columbia.” THE RAILROAD QUESTIONS, “What is your opinion, Mr. Harris, regarding the enactment at the next session of the bills to do away with the grade crossings of the Penn- Ivania and Baltimore and Ohio railr “For fifteen years,” the Senator replied have been conueeted with the efforts to have these measures become a law. are no nearer enactment than they, were at that time. Jn my opinion a bill cannot be drafted that will not meet with opposition, The fac- tional differences between the two companies are too great, and what migh: be satistactory t0 one road will meet with bitter opposition from the other.

IMPROVED STREET RAILWAY FACILITIES, “The street railway facilities of the city have | certainly been greatly improved. The one- [horse cars have been replaced by substantial [and good two-horse ones. Penneylvania javenue is supplied with an excellent cable leystem, which is now running in very | Rood order, and has only first-class cars upon it tended, so that thore living just beyond the ity limits are well provided with meaus Teaching the center of business, The committee was considerably bothered by the innumerable applications for street rail- way charters. If I am not mistaken there were about twenty applications made to the committee, but only three or four were granted. ‘The policy of the committee wxs to compel the present roads to extend their lines into the suburbs so that passengers woald not ‘have to pay but one fare, rather than the granting of another charter which would com- pel the payment of another iare. In this Tespect the interests of the citizen and the District were well guarded, The extension of the charters of the Eckington line, the Au: the Brightwood, as well as the , have supplied’ the outskirts of with good railroad facilities, in the case of the Brightwood |, Which row has an excellent line all the way to Takoma, But three new char- ‘ters were granted—ihe Suburban, the Great Fails and the Sandy Spring road.’ The latter, however, failed to become a law, as the Presi- dent did not sign it. “in the case of the Norfolk and Western line the committee, by its amendments, fully protected the interests of the Dis- trict, As the bili was reported from the committees it allowed of no specuiation and vhad anv road desired to enter the city | that route they could have done so. The rail road charter question had been greatly abused. herctozore. A company would appiy for a charter, obtain it without much dificulty, make a few improvements and then seli out, The comm tock hold of this question in earnestand every charter that they granted was worded in such a way as would not allow of any of this former speculation, for it was nothing more. | THE LIQvoR QUESTION. “The liquor question was another matter rwhich the committee dealt with and finally jobtaimed favorable action upon. It is un- necessary for me to repeat the condi- tion which existed in reference to liquor licenses, for every one was well acquainted with them. The Inw enacted was not as satis- |factory to me, personally, as it might have | been, but this is something that can be changed hereafter,and the princiral object, which was toenact » law which would control liquor tratiic in this city, was obsained. “Another question which bas been before Congress tor many years was disposed of by the committer. I refer to tne bill giving to the Commissioners the right to extend the streets and avenues after a plan. The city has been surrounded by a.Chinese wall, aud until this bill became a law the enlargement, growth and improvement of the city was almost an impossibilit In this case,as in that of the liquor ques- tion, the bill’ finally passed could been proved, but withoat some concession noth- ing could be accompli-hed, and it was betzer to have the present jaw than to be hemmed in by anil le barrier. ‘The Dis:rict com- mittee also accomplished cousiderabie by act- ing favorabiy apon certain amendments. to appropriation bills, among them being the i provement of the garbage service, the advanes ment of the work on the second reservoir and the seworuge problem. DISTRICT APPROPRIATIONS. | “Regarding the resolution recently intro- | duced by Senator Sherman to refer the District ‘appropriation bill to the District committee, ene would naturally suppose that I woald favor this plan. On the contrary, I believe the present system to be the best one and for this reason: If the approprin- tion bills were referred to the committees having charge of the various branches of the goverment each committee would be interested entirely and alone in the bill which a! fected the subjects which they had control of. ‘Those subjects the members of each particular commitice are mostly interested in, and like aman with a hobby, they would intist and in themselves would ‘be convinced that their appropriation bill above all others should be the most important. ‘They would want to ree their particular _ branches ‘of the government the most improved, and the consequence would be — that the appropriation bills would in every caso be much larger than at pres- ent, and one committee would fight against another in order that the appropria- tions recommended by them should not be | reduced. Under the present plan the appropri- ation committee invariably consults with the chairman of the committee having charge of the matters to which the appropriation _ Dill refers, and in this way one acts asacheck on Though the democratic majority in the Sen- | the other. ‘The result is much more beneficial ate has displaced Senator James McMillan from the chairmansiip of the committee on the District of Columbia, he still re- mains asa member of the commitiee and his familiarity with the affairs of this city will undoubtedly continues | to be felt for the benefit of the national capital He feels confitent that — the general plan of improvements which have been inangurated by the committee dur- ing his connection with it as ebairman will be followed out by Sonator Harris and that the important matters which ths last committee were unable to complete will find early eon- sideration and action by the new chairman and committee, “Senator Harris,” he said to a Stan reporter today. “has always taken the deepest interest in the affairs of the District and has been most out by the committee. His long connection with the committee and the prominent part he has taken in all legislation affecting it makes him especially adapted to act as the chairman. | THE BUILDING REGULATIONS. “Though everything that the last committeo would like to have accomplished could not be | done, still we feel that many of the im-! portant interests that were hanging fire for | years have either been carried to completion | or so advanced that they are nearer actment than ever before. One of the most | important pieces of legislation made was the | passage of the bill for the building regulations and the piacing in the power of the Com- missioners “the right to make such further | § regulations as they may see fit. viously the city was witout building regu- lations except such as.any small village might have.

LEGISLATION YET NEEDED. “I feel confident that at the next Congress the question of steam railroads in the city will receive early attention, and also the problem regarding the lighting of the city. The street railway problem is another affair that must be dealt with. What the result wil! be, of course, I cannot at this time say. Personally I favor the plan to have the otrest railways of the Distriet purchased outright by the municipality. After providing for a sinking fund for the proper management of them and allowing, say 3 per cent on the in- vesiment, the remainder a ‘the profits could go toward the improvement of the parks and reservations of the city, The gas lighting corporation should also be controlled by the District. ‘This plan is now enforced in the city of Glasgow and with them has met with considerable success.

Dr. Godfrey testified that he was near Sha‘er's when he heard the shot, and just be- fore he heard some one say, “You come across the street.” and turned when the second shot went of, and Kramer seized Arnold about the waist and Arnold got his arm atound Kramer's neck and coni- menced baninering him with the buit of the pistol.
