Former Representative From Texas Passes Away at Jefferson. JEFFERSON, Tex., May 7.—Ex-Repre- sentative David B. Culberson, father of United States Senator C. A. Culberson of Texas, died this morning. He had been suffering from grip, and for the last two or three days had been unconscious at in- tervals. Ex-Representative Culberson was at one time a prominent candidate for the speak- ership of the House. He was for a long time chairrman of the judiciary commit- tee and was regarded as one of the best constitutional lawyers in public life. For the past two years and a half Judge Culberson has been a member of the com- mission to revise and codify the criminal and penal laws of the United States. Alex. C. Botkin, chairman of the commission, sald to a Star reporter that his death is deeply deplored by his associates. He was a lawyer of profound and exhaustive pro- fessional learning, and possessed a mind remarkably clear in the apprehension of legal principles. He was perhaps unsur- passed in his knowledge of the history and purposes of the legislation of Congress dur- ing the past quarter of a century. The amiability of his character greatly en- Geared him to all who were associated with him in the performance of his duties, and they feel that they have suffered an itrep- arable loss, e POOR PROSPECTS FOR THE CODE. Inability to Reach Agreement Upon the Mode of Procedure. The proceedings in Congress in connection h the consideration of the new District ecde have come to a complete standstill. Present prospects are that there will be no change in the situation. The bili enacting the code is on the House calendar awaiting action; the House is probably ready to act, but there is inability to reach an agreement upon the method of procedure. Chairman Babcock said today that he has no idea when another effert will be made to get up the bill. He says that it ts use- less to make arrangements in view of the opposition which has been manifested to the Dill, and he does not propose to try to get the bill before the House until he sces evi- dences of withdrawal of the opposition. Mr. Babcock is not at all sanguine of the passage of the bill from the present out- look. Mr. Mudd of Maryland, whose attitude to- ward the bill was explained at some length n Saturday's Star in a statement by him, has not communicated further with the chairman of the committee. Mr. Mudd maintains that he only wants to obtain a consideration of some amendments. The friends of the bill say that members of the Bar Association and others in the District who e interesied in its passage should ke the case in hand at this point and en- deavor to reconcile the opposition to some plan for early consideration of the code. —_—______+ e+ ______. FOR POOR’ CASES. Proposed Appropriation for an Ad- dition to Providence Hospital. Senator Stewart has given notice in the Senate of an amendment he will propose to the sundry civil appropriation bill appro- priating $50,000 for an addition to Provi- dence Hospital for poor cases. The amend- ment provides that this addition shall be erected on the grounds of the hospital, un- der supervision of the surgeon general, United States army, at a cost of $45,000, and that $5,000 be appropriated for furnish- ing the new building. It is provided that the addition shall be used exclusively for persons unable to pay and who shall be sent there by the surgeon general of the army and authorities of the District of Co- lumbia. The effect of the above amendment, if it should prevail, it is said, will be to provide practically a municipal hospital as an addi- tion to Providence. The question of the establishment of a municipal hospital for the District has been debated in Congress for a long time. Two plans have been talked of, one for such a hospital on the present site of Columbia and another for a hospital to be on a site of about ten acres to be purchased somewhere tn the suburbs. The latter plan has been approve Senate, the District appropriation b passed the Senate tion of $100,000 for as it rrying an approp: the purchase by the Commissioners of not to exceed ten acres of land in the District.

THEIR BONES PROBABLY LOST. Attempt to Recover Remain: Americans Shot at Havana. At the instance of Mr. Isaac H. Sturgeon, controller of the city of St. Louis, the War Department recently made an effort to re- cover the remains of Col. William M. Crit- tenden and his comrades, who were execut- ed as filibusters by the lish authorities at Havana August 16, 1851. These men went to Cu to aid Lopez in wresting the sland from Spanish rule, They were cap- tured in the afternoon of August 1 were shot to death t Most of the men were shot in the back while kneeling in platoons of six. Col. Crittenden and another officer were rescrv- ed for the last platoon. Col. Crittenden of , and fellowing morning. refused to kneel and died with his face to ue executioners. When directed to knee! e declined with the remark: “An Ameri- n kneels only to his God and always faces enemy.” The adjutant general has informed Con- troller Sturgeon that the efforts to recover the remains of the men had been only par- sful. "It appears,” says the pneral, “that the remains of Col and his followers were first the old Espada cemetery, which is located near Reina Battery (Batera de la Reina), just behind and contiguous to San Lazaro Hospital, a cemetery that has not been In use for many years and 1s almost obliterated, hut that after some five years their bodies were exhumed and the bones placed in the bone vault of the same cem- etery in accordance with a local custom, which requires the removal of the bones ef people whose families are not owners of permanent vaults, as the vaults are wanted for other purposes, or as the rents expire, Crittenden buried in so that it would’ probably be quite im- possible to distinguish the remains of Col. Crittenden and his party from those of the others that are piled in the same vault." ———— 0+ Army Orders. Maj. John T. French, jr., quartermaster, U. S.
