DPOOCOOCOOOOOECOOOOOO SOSH SEE HE SOO SOEOOEOHO OHO OOO OOD FOUR CUT 10 BITS MEN DRINK ALCOHOL AND ARE GROUND TO PIECES ON RAIL- ROAD TRACK. NOTORIOUS TRAMPS ARE KILLED TWO ENGINES AND A CABOOSE RUN OVER MEN SLEEPING ON TRACK. ° BODIES HORRIBLY MUTILATED CIRCUMSTANCES POINT TO FOUL PLAY, BUT ARE NOT GIVEN MUCH WEIGHT. Winona, April 26.—Four notorious tramps were ground to pieces yester- day morning on the Northwestern tracks within the city limits a mile west of the railroad shops. They are George Hendricks, known from New Orleans to St. Paul as “St. Louis Blackie;” Oscar Larson, William Rad- igan and Billy Mack. Four of their companions are in the city prison awaiting developments, but it is not likely that any charge will be made against them. Two engines and a caboose, coming ack from Minnesota City for extra cars, ran over the men, who, it is be- {ieved, had fallen asleep on the track. Mack’s head was cut off and all of the bodies horribly mutilated. They. left a Winona saloon at’ about 9 o'clock, carrying two gallons of alco- hol. It is probable that they sat down on the track, drank the fiery stuff and fell into a stupor from the liquor. Sev- eral circumstances seemed to indicate foul play, but not given much weight. Mack served a term in the county jail here last fall for grand larceny. No inquest is expected. The county will bury the bodies. SAYS GRAVES SLEW WIFE.

NO PLOT AGAINST LOUBET. Report Originated in Actions of an Excited Priest. Rome, April 27. — The report sent from Rome to Berlin, printed in the, Tageblatt of that capital and circula- ted on the boerse, and which was also circulated in the: United States, that there was a plot against the life of President Loubet and that an attempt would be made to assassinate him, is without foundation. The report may have originated, perhaps, in the fact that a French priest went to the of- fice of the Italia, where, becoming ex- cited, he cried out that he had come to Rome to kill President Loubet. The editor of the Italia sent for the police, but before they arrived the priest had disappeared. The police then arrested several priests, but in none of them could the staff of the Italia recognize the excited clergyman who had vis- ited the office. All search for this priest has proved unavailing. Nobody, however, attached importance to the incident. GREEKS FIGHT TURKS. Comprications May Follow an Affray Between Turks and Greeks. Athens, April 27. — An affray be- tween Turkish gendarmes and Greeks is reported from Smyrna, in which M. Delyannis, secretary of the Greek consulate, was slightly wounded. Seri- ous complications may ensue. A Greek squadron -has_ sailed fore Smyrna. It appears that M. Dalyannis endeavored to open the shops of Greek merchants that had been closed for non-payment of taxes. This was opposed by the gendarmes. A strug- gle ensued, M. Dalyannis was wound- ed and he fired on the gendarmes. | The Turkish authorities imprisoned M. Delyannis and two consullate guards, who were only released after the intervention of the English con- sul. The Turks are now holding a counsel with the foreign Trepresenta- tives.

A bill providing for the allotment of the lands of the New York Indians was passed under a resoluti tpn of the com- mittee on rules for ‘its immediate consideration. The senate yesterday listened to a set speech of almost two hours dura- tion on the trusts by Mr. Dolliver and afterward completed consideration of the sundry civil appropriation bill, again devoting much time to the pro- visions for an extension of the east front of the capitol and for an addi- tional office building for the senate. The office building amendment was agreed to as reported from the com. mittee, but the extension paragraph! was so modified as particularly to provide for plans only, the appropria- tion being reduced to $75,000. Washington, April 22.—The pension appropriation bill carrying an appro- priation of over $137,000,000, and the emergency river and harbor appro- priation bill, which carries $3,000,000, were passed yesterday by the senate, leaving only the general deficiency and the military academy bills of the entire list of supply measures still to. be considered by the senate.

Washington, April 23.—Late yester- day President Roosevelt was assailed bitterly by Mr. Claude Kitchin of North Carolina, who included in his castigation Gen. Grosvenor, whom he charged with having humiliated Theo- dore Roosevelt, the vice presidential candidate whom, in a recent speech in the house he had glorified as the worthy successor of McKinley. Mr Kitchin likened President Roosevelt in this connection to the ant hill tak- ing the place of the mountain, the owl’s screech taking the place of the tomb’s symphonies, and to the min- now taking the place of the whale. In his opinion the president, whom he said ‘while governor of New York had styled the members of congress as a herd of cattle, was unfit to hola office. and a dangerous man. Gen. Grosvenor admitted that four years ago he opposed the nomination of Mr. Roosevelt for vice president, but said Mr. Roosevelt during the campaign had conducted himself in a dignified manner and had won the confidence and esteem of the people By his acts from the time he was elected to preside over the senate, and that he reached the supreme heights when he declared at Buffalo that he would carry out the policies of McKinley. Preceding this episode the house debated the bill to create a commission to investigate the mer- chant marine, but took no action on it. The: general deficiency appropria- tion bill occupied the major portion of the senate’s time, but before it was taken up Mr. Gallinger spoke at some length on the tariff policy of the Re- publican party. While the reading of the deficiency bill was in progress, Mr. Cullom delivered a speech on the house Chinese exclusion rider. He expressed the opinion that there should be explicit legislation re-enact- ing existing exclusion laws, but op- posed the remaining portion of the house provision and moved to strike it out. Washington, April 26.—Whether the president shall order the construction of the battleships provided for in the naval appropriation bill, or wait until the war in the Far East demonstrates the comparative utility of the big sea fighter and the torpedo boat or sub- marine craft was a question raised in the senate yesterday by Mr. Hale of Maine, on the adoption of the confer- ence report. It was developed that the language of the bill was permis- sive and that the president and secre- tary of the navy could defer action if they deemed it advisable. Mr. Hale declared that if he were secretary of the navy he should not dare to go on now and commit the government to the building of an immense battleship. for it would not surprise him if events in the Russian-Japanese war demon- strated that the $150,000,000' paid for big battleships were a bad investment for this government. The house yesterday passed a large number of bills, including the Alaska delegate bill. The bill to authorize the construction of a lighthouse and fog signal station at Diamond shoal, N. C., occasioned a long debate, but finally passed without division. Work of Vandals. St. Louis, April 27—It was ,discov- ered yesterday that vandals had en- tered ‘the French pavilion at the world’s fair and destroyed two of the most beautiful of the Parisian marble statues in the sculpture exhibit. The statues were L’Etoile Duberber (the Shepherd), by Rousel, and “St. Jean,” by Dubois. They were thrown on the floor and broken into bits. Six rose trees from the French garden were stolen. The French commissioners say that their loss in the destruction of the statues is irrecoverable. j DEFECTIVE PAGE
