John Cragin Thrown From a Wagon and In- stantly Killed. The Yeung Man Was on His Way to Market With a Load of Vegetables. This morning soon after daylight the dead tody ef John Cragin, sixteen years old, was found en the Brentwood road, near Iiarmony cemetery, and as there were re wounds or blood found upon him the cause of death seemed to be a mystery. But a few minutes later the finding of a herse running at large and demolished wagon on the ioad explained that the lad was probably the victim of a runaway ac- cident, vbich afterw: proved to have been the There was no one near the ery who was able to identify the de- nd the police took his body to the use. morgu Cragin, who, as already stated, was only sixteen years old, had been in this coun- try about two months, having come here otland to live with his uncle, Mr. Jeffery, who has a truck garden on Breatwoed road some distance beyond the scene of the accident.

Irish Catholic Priests in Chicage Ob- serve Jubilee Day. CHICAGO, June 22—The Times-Herald says: Roman Catholic priests in Chicago are observing this jubilee day of England's queen by brating dead masses for the spiritual repose of Irishmen whose deaths are chirged against English misrule in the Eme Isle. Rev. Thomas Pope Hodnett, pastor of St. Malachf's Church, is father to the idea of this deeply religious protest against lauda- tion of Britain's soverelgn. Priests of Irish ancestry throughout the cjty generally Join in giving the idea expression. In many churches the significance of this morning’s mass may not be apparent. No pronounce- ment of intention has been made, because none was necessary, so the movement {s in no sense official, as emanating from the high church authorities. It is simply the exercise by Individual priests of individual prerogatives. Each priest of the churzh is bound to say mass every day. By what 1s known as “private intention,” or “me- mento,” the mass is applied. It may be said as a prayer for any special object de- sired by the priest. The significance of the service will most pronounced probably at St. Malachi's Church. There the celebrants will be robed.| Justice | in black vestments and the service will | have all the characteristica_of the funeral mass. * FOR DISTRICT NEEDS Local Items in the Deficiency Appro- priation Bill. —<- MONEY FOR STREET EXTENSION Proposed Increase of the Fire De- partment. oe FOR THE PRINTING OFFICE The. deficiency appropriation bill was re- ported to the Senate today with a number of amendments of local interest added by the Senate ccmmittee on appropriations.

TO FORCE THE SPEAKER An Absurd Proposition to Compel Consider- tion of the Cuban Resolution. It Could Not Be Done and No One Wants to Do It—No Conflict With the Tariff. The story was put out last night by two distinguished senators, known chiely for their humorous bent, that the tariff was to be held up in the Senate until Mr. Reed consented that the House might ccrstder the Cuban belligerency resolution. The proposition is, of course, utterly <b- surd. No one but the two humorists would suggest it. One of these is a man of whom no one can judge whether he is serious or in jest. The other is never ‘serious—even when he thinks himself so. Whether one of these is playing upon the other, or whether both are turning green lighis on a chalk skull and eress bones to alarm their colleagues in the Senate and the Speaker of the House, is a matter of speculaticn. here are several good reasons why yo such thing is going to be done, The first is that it can’t be. The second is that no one wants to do it. No Conflict Between the Two. The friends of Cuba do not want to bring the Cuban question into cenflict with the tariff. There would be no justification fcr such a course, and it would be injurious to the Cuban cause. If it were possible to use the tariff as a club with which to drive the House to action on the beélllgerency resolution, it would undoubtedly excite a feeiing of resentment in the House which would result in a majority lining up against the Cuban resolution, Leaving this out of consideration, the fact remains that more than four-fifths of the men in the Senate are eager to get the tariff blil out of the way as soon as pos- sible. The republicans as a party are re- fraining from debate as much as possible, and most of the demccrats are impatient ot what time is being consumed by mem- bers of thelr own party, though it Is known that tho who -have been and are doing the talking are actually holding themseives under restraint in their desire not to take up any more time than they fee] to be ab- solutely necessary to prove that they are opposed to the bill. The progress made with the bill yesterday shows how litile de- sire there is for delay. Today the Senate is on the most difficult schedule in the bil!— the wool—and the committee think they sce their way through it, within a reasonable time. A Brie: but Hot Contention. The consideration of the wool scheduie had not beea far urder way in the Senate today, however, before a very bitter fight developed on the floor between Mr. Fora- ker and Mr. Allison over the treatment of the third-class woo!s, Mr. Foraker claim- irg an agreemcat for a triple duty on washed wools of the third class. Unex- pected heat was shown in the brief con- tention between the two senators. Mr. Foraker mtimated bad faith on the part of the committee and declared that he for one would not be driven. Mr. Allison re- torted hotly that they were not in t habit of driving in the Senate. “Therefore I will not drive,"* said Mr. Foraker. “Nor will I be driven,” replied Mr. Alli- son. Mr. Allison’s Explanation. Mr. Allison then explained his position with great earnestness and display of feel- ing, undertaking to show that~ under the Gefinition of washed wool, the class Mr. Foraker wanted a triple duty on, would actually have a prohibitive duty without the triple provision. This, with the state- ment that he was about to prapose that the third-class wool paragraph 9 over until experts could prepare a proper amendment covering the question in di pute, in a measure mollified Mr. Foraker, but there still lingered evidesce: of much bad blood. é In spite cf this incideat the committee think they will get out of their difficulty satisfactorily, and it ts believed even by those who are advocat:ng the higher rates on third-class wools, that the conference will chenge the schedule so as to make it somewhat more favorable to che carpet manufacturers. — < WANT $25,000 DAMAGES; : a Children of Joseph Cockimg , Bring, Suit Against Sheriff “wane, LA PLATA, Md., June 22.—John Grason ‘vf Towson, Baltimore county, and Herbert W. Simpson of Baltimore city, attorneys for the infant children of the late Joseph Cocking, who was lynched at Port Tobacco last summer, have docketed guit in the cir- cuit court for Charles county against Sheriff George A. Wade and his bondsmen for $25,000 damages, claimed to have been sustained by Cocking’s three chijdren, John Malcolm, Willlam Henry and A) Lowrse, by the lynching of their father. . It is set forth that Sheriff Wade, after promising Cocking’s attorneys to afford rim safe protection, failed to‘make the proper effort to do so; that when the mob made the attack upon the.prison Jailer Washington Burch,-a decrepit old man, was found in charge, who ui ly surrendered the prisoner to thelr violence. ane that Segal ace failed to make an effort to restrain the lynchers or ascertsjn, their identity, alt! ‘he’ had been in- formed by the jailer of wha was going on. ENGLAND’SGREAT DAY Her Sovereign’s Sixty Years of Rule Celebrated With Pomp. A BRILLIANT MILITARY PAGEANT The Queen Receives Her People’s Homage With Evident Pleasure. HER HEALTH SEEMS GOOD Special Cable Dispatch to The Evening Star. LONDON, June 22.—The Londoner rose this morning, that is, if he went to bed at all last night, with the firm conviction that the most splendid day in English history lad dawned. It is the day when the greatest of English sovereigns comes, in her own words, ‘to see her people and re- ceive their congratulations.” Eight o'clock is generally early enough for him, but today the hour of 5 saw a streare set in from the suburbs from ten and even twenty miles around London. By 9 o'clock the stream had become a flood, and the six miles of route of today’s royat procession were well filled, though® by no means dangerously packed, as the policd themselves feared. Red, white and blue are everywhere in flags, just fluttering in the gentle breeze, in bunting and in garlands of imitation flowers hung from Venetian masts, and at every, vantage point, while carnations, red roses and blue corn flowers make up preity poises and buttonholes, cornflowers espec: ly, as the only flower of the royal blue, be- ing almost worth their weight in gold. Some Favorite Mottoes. Amid theeflowers are many mottoes. “Well played, sixty not out,” is the greet- ing of the ardent cricketer, and Tennyson's “She wrought her people lasting good” is a general favorite. Every window, every roof, every church steeple, has its occu- did one ever see so good-humored a crowd? The police and the thin red line of soliiers along the route have little or nothing to do. The weather is all it should be. Some Jeremiahs predicted snow and sleet, and last week's cold winds made it just pos- sible. Instead, it is “queen's weather,” cool, yet bright, as some statistician has shown that it has been for twenty years past on June 22. ‘ é The jubilee hono: list published this morning pleases every one. There were some fears lest the vulgar ostentation of money bags by large donors to the Indian Yamine, Prince of Wales’ Hospital and the Princess of Wales’ dinner funds would be recognized. It is severely ignored, instead. Deficiencies in the procession are in part remedied by the recognition of Sullivan, Gilbert, Lecky, Tosti, Wolfe, Garry and vther leaders in the science and art of the reign. It is not an ideal list, for lit- erature and industrialism are little thought of, but it is as representative as such lists generally are in England. Imposing Colonial Procession. The colonial procession, which opened the day's triumphal event, made an imposing show. Ficld Marshal Lord Roberts is the popular “Bobs” of the crowd, and he re- ceived the crowd’s ovation as he marshaled the colonial troops to St. Paul's Cathedral to await the queen's arrival, for the ser- vice here was the true pageant of the en ire. neal of every size and color, from the slim, slight, yellow-skinned Singapore and Hong Kong artillery, to the bronzed, large- limbed Camadians, ‘Australians and ihe poet laureate’s watch dogs of Rhodesia, and again to the tall, coffee-colored Sikhs and stalwart negroes of the West Indias, the Gold Coast and the Niger. Every color, too, seemed to be represented in the uni- forms. The crowds, of course, shouted themselves hearse with cheering, and ecially when the colonial premiers, with Wilfred Laurier at their head, drove by in State dress landaus, all of them in the gold lace and cocked hats of queen's privy councilors, an honor only conferred upon them this morning. Troops, people, pre- miers were all mightily pleased with one. another. An hour's interval, and then came the queen's procession,and with it,sure enough, there came the first sunshine of the day. An hour's blaze of colors, nodding plumes, prancing horses and cheering crowds that made up the queen’s escort. Mr. Reid’s Plain Clothes. Amid it all there was one figure, and one figure only, in plain black and white, that of Mr. Whitelaw Reid, whose democratic garb was in sharp contrast to the gor- geous uniferms of the Spanish and French ambassadors, who were in the same car- riage. Among the foreign envoys should’ have been Munir Pasha. If he was there his name was discreetly omitted from the offi- cial list. His attache was there, and the crowd let the fez pass uncheered and other- wise unnoticed. The sultan’s envoy may have been there, too, hidden away among the foreign notables, but no one knew it and no one hissed. . At last came the queen herself, seated in the same carriage with the Princess of Wales and the Princess Christian. I have heard many royal acclaims, but I never heard such heartfelt cheering as the cen- tral figure of the day drove slowly by. She looked remarkable well and happy, smil- ing and bowing to the right and left, a liv- ing refutation of the silly talk cabled to New York last week. A remarkable, probably unprecedented, feature of the service at St. Paul's was the leading place given to the presidents of dissenting bodies in the state service, con- ducted by state churchmen. This was a fitting sequel to the incidents of Sunday, when Nonconformist ministers assisted in Anglical Cathedral services in different parts of the country. Message From St. Paul's. At St. Posil’s a royal message was dis- Patched to the queen’s subjects through- out her dominions, and thereby hangs a curious tale of empire which has perturbed the official mind not a little during the past few days. England's lines of cables to her scattered empire are at the mercy of for- eigners whose territories are touched by the wires. Thus the queen’s message to- day to her own peopte in India, South Aft. rica and the West Indies was only able to reach its destination by the favor of Spain, Portugal, France and the United States. Now for the first time the official mind seems to have grasped the fact of Eng- land's real telegraphic isolation, which in time of war must~place her empire in her perilous condition. Indeed, Canada and Newfoundland are the only colonies to which the queen can speak directly today without the medium of a foreign state, PREPARING FOR THE START.

The Contest Will Be on the Silver Question—Prospect of an Alliance Between Gold Forces. Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. LOUISVILLE, Ky., June 22.—This day marks the close of one of the most hotly contested fights within the democratic party ever witnessed In this city and coun- ty. The primary in progress today is the first gun in the silver battle which is to rage all over the state with partisan fury during the next three months. In this local fight were the same two elements that have been contending since the silver ques- tion became the paramount issue in thi state. TW Whallen, or gold, democracy called @ convention eight weeks ago at Music Hail and selected nominves, and the silver, or O'Sullivan, democracy met later. Post- master Weaver, a stanch sound money democrat, was the choice cf the Music Hall convention, and ex-Mayor Jacob was named for mayor by the silverites. But the state central committee harmonized the warring elements sufficiently to in all of the candidates to enter the regular June democratic primary, which will be concluded with tonight's balloting. Ex- Mayor Jacob, realizing that he was not as strong as Mr. Weaver, withdrew from the mayoralty contest week before last, and Postmaster Weaver is today the democrat- ic nominee for the city’s highest position and office. The general belief now is that the entire ticket agreed upon by the Mu Hall, or gold, convention, will be nominat- ed in the primary. If so it will be a signal victory for the Cleveland-Carlisle forces. In the mayoralty con Mayor Tod¢ the present incumbent, will be the republ can leader who wiil be pitted against Mr. Weaver. This will be a neck and neck race, with the chances largely in favor of the democrat. This, in spite of the fact that Mayor Todd has been successful in two elections held consecutly But the disgruntled democrats made his success possible, and the indications are that the discordant element will be bac in line this fall and that Weaver will win without any very hard werk. Mr. Weaver has been a popular postmaster. While, on the other hand, there has been much dissatisfaction with the Todd administraiion, and there is a republican faction very much opposed to him. The appellate clerk’s race is begianing to wari up, and interest will shortly be cen- tered in it. S. J. Shackeliord, the silver nominee, expects to muster the full vote of his party, while there is talk of a re- publican-sound money alliance to defeat silver. Senator Elliston, as The ening: Star announ a week 2g0, will be the sound money democratic nominee, and if so, the republicans will indorse him un- stintedly. Many leading sound money dem- ocrats say Shackelford will win, and that it will make no difference if ke docs. They insist that a small office of that character represents no state victory, and will do little more than yote for their nominee, just to keep their party machinery in working order. One of the recent political surprises in Kentucky was the defection of the popu- hsts from the silver democracy. This has been coming on for some time, but it was thought by many the disaster would be bridged over and this big vote saved to the adherents of Bryan. But murmurings of discontent have been heard from time to time, and a few days since they took the shape of a violent protest against further alliance of populists with the silver dem- ocracy. Populist leaders in different parts of the state have been speaking in favor of independent action, and in mos: of the counties where elections or conventions have been held the “grangers” have an. nounced their withdrawal from the Bryan Procession, and asserted they would be found hereafter in the middle of the road. This is a severe blow to stiver hopes. See NO PRAYERS FOR THE QUEEN. Bishop Horstmann Explaina the Atti- tade of American Catholics. Special Dispatch to TLe Evening Star. CLEVELAND, Ohio, June 22.—Rev. Ig- natius Horstmann, the Catholic bishop of Cleveland, has made rather a sensational Statement of the attitude of the Catholic churches in his diocese toward the celebra- tion of the queen's jubilee. “So far as I know,” said the bishop, “the Catholic churches here are paying no aitention to it. This is America; we say prayers for William McKinley, President of the United States, and not for Queen Victoria.” The bishop was asked if he wasn’t personally invited to take some part in the celebra- tion. he replied, “I beliewe I did get invitation from some one to attend some meetings, or something of that sort.” “Did you attend?” was asked. “Of course not,” said the bishop. “I am an American. I was born in Philadelphia. I presume that the Catholic churches of England all said prayers for Queen Victo- ria today, but I do not know of a Catholic church in America that did. in our churches we pray ‘for the ruling monarch or officer, and I do not know why we should make any exception in favor of the queen.” Bishop Horstmann was shown a state- ment made by Lishop Glennon of Kansas City with respect to the same subject, in which he said: “I shall order no prayers for England's queen in our churches. More, I shall, if necessary, expressiy prohibit such prayers in all churches in this diocese. Our people have no occasion to invoke special bless- ings or Queen Victoria. As a gcod woman we admire her; as queen, we have no pray- €rs to offer for her.” “Very likely Bishop Glennon said just that,” said Bishop Horstmann. “I know him. He is an Irishman, and for sixty years Victoria has ruled England, and England has oppressed Ireland.” Here the bishop stopped, and laughed heartily, whether for the purpose of show- ing that he was not quite in earnest about his explanation of why Bishop Glennon spoke so emphatically, or from some hid- den reascn he didn’t explain, Rev. Dr. Rooker, secretary to Archbishop Martinelli, whose attention was today called to the supposed omissions of the Catholic clergy by a Star reporter, said that there was no significance to be at- tached to the matter; that no Catholic clergyman had the right, in the absence of specific orders from Rome, to change the liturgy of the church, and as no orders had been issued at Rome on the subject, there was nothing for the priests to do ex- cept use the prayers for the day. Conse- quently, as no prayers had been provided for the queen’s jubilee, none were said. —__——_— ‘THREE MURDERERS TO HANG. - Believed to Be Members of an Or- ganized Gang of Criminals. ‘Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.

There is, indeed, even now no statutory provision requir= ing the Secretary's action upon such sen- tences; but on the above-mentioned date the department, having previously, i. e., May 15, 1895, issued general order No. 413, calling attention to the frequency with which the punishment of e from the service with bad conduct discharge was inflicted by summary in cases where such sentence was not deemed appropriate, and finding that said order did not have the desired effect of ars Fl i He peed gpa es my as the accused an enlisted man mavy or marine for a statement of his
