Senator Becon was interrupted fre- peops uons quenuy by Republican Senators, and when | he tock his seat there were several of nem on the figor ready to respond to his suggestion. They agreed to a man that | the Senate was not called on to take any | action under the —circumstances, saying | that the charges had not been made pub- | lic and were not known when the treaty | weas ratified; that the President could be | depended upon to perform his duties with- | cut ary hint from the Senate, and that | ine House investigation probably very | soon would develop that the gharges were | based upon nothing. They expressed re- | gret that any charges had been made, but | said they saw no reason why the sale u![ the islands should not proceed. Senator Cullom, as_chairman of the | Committee on Foreign Relations, said that | the treaty had received careful considera- from both a strategic and economic stand- point had done well in acquiring them. Senator Lodge, also of the Committee on | Foreign Relations, and other Republican | members took the same pesition. Senator Nelson spoke with more feeling | than most other Senators, saying that he | did not consider that the charge, originat- | ing, as it @id originate, with persons who were unknown to the Senate, were worthy | of that body’s serious comsideration. In | his opinion to take any such step as was | contemplated by the resolution under the circumstances would be an insult to the Government of Denmark. Investigation in Committee. Senator Bgcon closed the incident by saying that he woulé not press the reso- | lution, in view of the expressions of so | many Senators, and in consequence of | this announcement the Senate adjourned without taking action, The investigation of the charges made in connection with the purchase was be- gun before the special mittee ap- pointed by Speaker Henderson. Besldes the members of the committee there was present Niels Gron, who brought the cherges to the attention of Represent: tive Richardson, and quite a number interested spectators Gron was first witness sworn_by . He said that in Feb- | parties in Copenhagen wno | opposed the transfer of the Danish West fes to the United States conferred with m and brought to his attention the Christmas report. Chairman Dalzell asked who these parties were. The witness said they were members of the Danish upper house, but he did not think it proper to give their names Continuing his statement Gron explained how the Danish parties opgasing a sale of | the_islands had persuaded him to come | to Washington and place the Christmas report before Congress and the public so that the facts would be known. In reply to specific questio he =aid he knew of or. or Representative who had bribed or whom any one had at- | tempted to bribe. At the State Depart- ment he -had only personally seen Kagson. Gron was then excused. Chairman Dal- | zell anpounced that he bad summoned | McKinley, Colonel Brown cher Hansen' and that they would ap- | pear on Thursday. | ® '} B MISTAKE TRAMP VESSEL FOR JAPANESE WARSHIP Russians at Vladivostok Mount Guns | on Ice-Crushing Ship and Go Forth to Attack.

Hirshberg and Samuel Booth, Grand Masfer Morrison then read his report, which showed that the unexpected contlict between labor and capital, result- ing in the long strike, had Gufing the past vear the effect of creating a large. sus- pension list by reason of the fact that many of the men who were thrown out of work were unable to meet their pecu- niary obligations. Other causes also had a serious retarding influence. on the or- der. ‘The suspension lst 2938, the death list 428, and there were 44 finail cards issued. During 1901 2137 new mem- bers were secured and 1814 were reinstat- ed. The average monthly amount of ex- pense for extension work was $668 £2, be- ing $46 51 less per month than the monthly appropriation. The total amount expend- ed was $14,302 30, of which sum $4858 was spent during the three months prior to the session of the previous Grand Lodge, leaving 4 balance of '$9343 37 chargeable against the administration of the present Grani Lodge. The grand master recommended that a district deputy be appointed for lodge. Four new lodges were instituted during the year and one was suspended because its membership had fallen below | the required number. He also recommend- ed that a law be passed to compel a mem- ber going into angther jurisdiction to reg- ister with the nearest lodge in the juris- diction, so that identification can be more easily made, relief given and -brothers helped in their search for employment. He also suggested that the system of paying premiums for bringing in new members be discontinued and that in lieu thereof that competent deputies be placed in the field “Sing low in the Some ballad,” and play the accompani- ment -on one of our “Steck” Pianos; and you are simply irresistible. .

This, in his opinion, woulid require the employ- | of twenty-five deputies at a month- y salary of §i5 each, with railroad fare added, which would entail a cost of about J% a year. In his report the grand master paid a compliment to Grand Re- corder Spencer ‘‘for the successful man- preme relief board the full amount of able and untiring manner in'which he has | conducted the affairs of his office, being always ready to assist:and never ceasing t6 work for the good of the order outside as well as inside of the office.” The report of Grand Recorder C. T. Spencer shows that the average age of the members is 45.33; that the. total member- ship at the tlose of 1901 was 21515, of which number 16901 held $2000 certificates | and 4614 held 81000 certificates.. The tptal receipts from all sources were $855,923 38, and the total disbursements $850,763 43, of which amount 3745363 10 'was. paid “for death claims, $47.244 28 to the guaranty fund, $4362 70 for Supreme Lodge per cap- ita tax, $6000 transferred to the beneficiary fund, ‘$000 to repay bank for money | loaned and $42,793 35 for all other purposes. There were 392 $2000° claims, thirty-eight $1000 claims and one for 35 94 (suicide). During the year Southwest and Crockett lodges surrendered their charters and the membership was placed in other lodges. The grand recorder also recommended the appointment of a committee to revise the laws of the order so as to conform with the decisions rendered by the Su-! preme Court of this State, a new form of fireproof safes for.the keeping of the rec- ords in the office and the continuing of prizes to lodges. Deputy Grand Master W. H. Barnes pre- sented a lengthy report in which he gave an account of .the work of the several trict deputies. He offered a number of and members. The announcement was made that drill teams from Fresno, Sacramento and San Jose will compete to-morrow night for trophies. ‘The grand recorder- was re- quested to invite the drill teams of the Degree of Honor. to appear hefore the Grand Lodge and give an exhibition drill, Before the-opening of the afternoon ses- sion of the lodge Mayor Schmitz was es- corted to the fila!fcrm and introduced by Paet Masters Barnes and Danforth. After being greeted by the grand master work- man, the Mayor on behalf of the citizens of San Francisco extended a hearty wel- come to the grand officers and repre- sentatives. Past Grand - Master Barnes thanked Mayor Schmitz for his kind ‘wishes, and he expressed the hope on behalf of the Workmen that the Mayor's term will prove most brilllant. The business was then proceeded with, A proposition to reduce the number of representatives to the Grand Lodge was lost. One to amend the law in regard to assessment notices in the official organ was recommitted after a long discussion. It was decided to make the fee for the reissuance of a beneficlary certificate 30 cents. . Several amendments with regard to forms so as to comply with recent changes by the Supreme Lodge were adopted. The recommendations of the grand recorder were indorsed. The recom- mendations of the grand master for ag- gressive and progressive methods of do- ing business and for deputies were also indorsed, and it was the sense of the meeting that the incoming grand officers take up and act upon the suggestions. It was expected that there would be a contest when the proposition .to meet twice a year was taken up, 'but the pro- posed amendment was not adopted. The “Grand Lodge voted to return $15) that had been paid into the Grand Lodge by Del Norte Lodge for assessments for a brother who had made his certificate payable to the lodge. The act. of the member was nullified by the Supreme Lodge. T‘:E grand body then adjourried. The Grand Lodge of the Degree of Honor will hold its first session this morn. ing. A _district convention of the lodges of the Degree of Honor was held vesterday. he convention was opened by Miss Loretta B. Donnelly, the president, and the work of the order was exemplified by a. team from:Stockton. A number of questions in connéction with the work were asked by the delegates.

Assailant of a Young Girl Pays Penalty for His - "0 Crime. ROME, ‘Ga., April a negro, charged with attempting to-crim- inally assault Miss Blossom Adamson, & i5-year-cld girl, in this city yesterday afternoon, was taken.from the jail to- night by 4000 men, who battered down the prison doors anhd hanged him to an,elec~ tric light pole in the principal portion of the city. A volley was fired afterward. Miss Adamson was on her way to_a dressmaker late yesterday when she was’ met by Allen, -who told her that.a dress-| maker at. a designated residence was walting to see her. The young girl went | to the address mentioned by the negro, who followed. her into the house, which Miss Adamson found was vacant. A weman on a near-by porch, attracted by the noise of the struggle, succeeded in frightening Adlen away and he escaped. Late this afternoon he was captured and brought to this city and placed in jail. As 'soon as the news of his capture was learnec a mob formed and marched to the jail, demanding the negro. The Sheriff refused to deliver. tgm keys and pleaded that the law should be allowed to take its course. 'Upon the Sheriff’s refusal of the keys the jail ‘door was forced open with, sledge hammers and the steel cage of Aflen’s cell was broken in.

CHICAGO, April 1.—The -Republicans and Democrats each made a net gain of one Alderman in the city election held to- day. The new Council will consist of 39 Republicans, 30 Democrats, 1 Independent. The old Council consisted of 38 Republi- cans, 2 Democrats and 3 Independents. The hottest fight of the campaign was in the First Ward, where a determincd effort was made by the opponents of John J. Coughlin, known as ‘“‘Bathhouse John,” to defeat him. It was the only ward in the city where anything like a full vote was polled. Coughlin won easily, how- ever, securing a majority of 2 votes over David L. Frank, the Republican can- didate. Besides the election of thirty-six Alder- men—one each for thirty-six wards and two from the Tenth Ward, one to fill a vacancy—town officers, a Collector, Asses- sor, Swuperyisor and, Cierk ‘were chesen in the south, north and west towns of Lake- view, Hyde Park, Jefferson and Lake. The results are mixed. The Democrats won all the offices in the north town by 1200, but the men elected to the offices of Assessor, Collector, Clerk and Supervisor will never enter upon their duties. The question of abolishing the various town governments was submitted to the people and carried by an overwhelming majority. Other questions of public policy were voted upon, among them being municipal ownership of street car systems, gas works and other public utilities, and the nominatfon for candidates by vote at the primaries instead of by the usual custom of holding city conventions. All of these were favorably voted upon. None of these votes, save that en the abolishment of the town offices; carried action with it. MILWAUKEE, April 1—Mayor David 8. Rose, Democratic candidate for re- election, carried the city by a plurality of about 7000 to 10,000 over Charles Hanson, Republican. -Rose carried the remainder of the Democratic ticket with him. MADISON, Wis., April 1.—The Republi- cans carried the city by 500 majority, a ain of 1000 over last year. John W. roves was elected Mayor over Professor Storm Bull, the incumbent. The. Council will have a Republican majority. OMAHA, April 1.—City_ elections were held in every town in Nebraska to-day with the exception of Omaha. Generally local issues predominated and the matter of national politics entered but slightly into the campaign. POOLROOM.

Judge Angellott] issued an order compelling the men to appear before him on April 7 and show cause why they should not be re- stricted from voting at the coming mu- nicipal election in Sausalito. The suit is brought against County Clerk Robert Graham to have the names of Michael Usina, Adolph Sylva, John TFerguson, Edward Bartlett, Henry Spen- cer and W. C. Brown canceled.

PHILADELPHIA, April 1.—Fearing that he would be arrested for theft, Wii- \liam H. Lane, a.negro batler, shot and killed his employer, Mrs, Ella J. Furbush, her_12-year-old daughter Madeline, and probably mortally wounded another daughter, Eloise, aged 7 years, at their home, 652 North Fifteenth street, shortly before noon to-day. Lane, who is % years of age, escaped from the house; and four hours later was captured by Philadelphia detectives while walting in Camden, to board a train for Bridgeton, N. J. He was imme- diately brought to this city, was identified by little Eloise and confessed his crime. ¥rhe murder was one of the most cold- blooded committed in this city for some time, Mrs. Furbush lived with her two ‘daughters. in a four-story house, which -was turnished with all the comfort that an ample purse could provide. Lane had been her butler since Christmas, and be- sides him she had another colored servant, a woman named Agnes. Recently Mrs. Furbush_had been missing small amounts of. maney, and finally she informed the police, who began an investigation, whici was still In progress when to-day's traz- edy was enacted. . Suspicion fell on Lane and a warrant was sworn out for his ar- Test. According to Lane's confession he saw Mrs. Furbush on Monday night counting g largeroll of bills. Knowing where she kept the money he bided his time, and at an opportune moment late in the evening he stole’$70. This morning Mrs. Furbusi missed the money and-questioned the col- ored man, but he denied all knowledge of having seen it.. Expecting that the theft ‘would be placed on him and .that Mrs. F¥urbush would have him arrested, Lane planned to murder the mother and chil- dren, rob the house and disappear. At 11 o'clock he went.to.the third floor and-_found Mrs. Furbush in one of the middle rooms. He instantly shot her twice, once in the breast” and then through the heart. She dled instantly. Bloise, who was in another room, hear- ing the noise, ran in'to see what was the matter, and as she entered Lane shot her in the abdomen. She fell and he thought he had killed her. ‘Without ever attracting.the attention of the other servant, who was ironing In the kitchen, Lane went to the front door and called in Madeline, who was skating on roller skates on the sidewalk. He told her that her mother wanted her on the third floor, and without the slightest suspicion of the tragedy that was being enacted she climbed the stairs without removing her skates. She went into a room adjoining that in which her mother lay dead. Lane followed her, and as she cheerily called her mother the negro shot her through the heart. Lane made a full confession. He is the son of a preacher who lives in Bridgeton, and he has served a term in the Mount Holly, N. J., jail for larceny and has been confired in the Huntingdon, Pa., reform- atory. There seems to be a mystery regarding the domestic life of Mrs. Furbush. In the ne!ihborhood where she lived she was variously known as Mrs. Furbush and Mrs. Fisher. The woman, who was 47 years of age, was well supplied with money, owned the fine house she lived in, had her own horses and carriages and lived a life of ease. As a result of an lnveiflgnuon Coroner Dugan 1§ endeavor- ing 10 ‘secure the attendance at the in- quest of Charles A. Furbush, a wealthy manufacturer of millinery of this icity. Furbush was out of the city to-day on business. WOMAN TRIES TO KILL MOSCOW POLICE PREFECT ST. PETERSBURG, April 1.—The poli¢e prefect of Moscow, Trepoff, had a nar- row escape from assassination yesterday, While - receiving visitors a governess, named Allart, suddenly drew a revolver, placed its muzzle at the official's breast and pulled the trigger. The weapon, how- ever, missed. fire. In the subsequent ex- citement the woman tried to escape, but was arrested. It s believed that the at- tempt was connected with the recent stu- dent troubles. ' While the Migorod Regiment was parad- ing on the barracks square at Kieff yes- terday Captain Sofronoff shot and kilied Lieutenant Grodski for maligning the former’s family. BERLIN, April 1.—A dispatch to the Tageblatt from St. Petersburg, dated March 31, saye the students are organiz- ing a fresh revolutionary raovement and have succeeded in mailing 10,000 circulars, mostly addressed to persons belonging to the educated classes, imploring them to attend, armed if possible, a revolutionary demonstration in front of the Kasan Cathedral to-dav.

BUTTER GOLOR 15 THE TOPIG Senators Desive Into the Manufacture of Oleo- margarine. WASHINGTON, April 1.—An agreemeant | was reached by the Senate to-day to vote | on'the pending oleomargarine bill before | adjournment next Thursday. Debate on the measure was continued throughout | to-day’s session. Heitfeld of ldaho op- pesed the bill because he believed that it proposed to drive the oleomargarine in- dustry to the wall. Gallinger of New Hampshire advecated the bill because, he said, it was a protest against fraud and | against an industry ‘‘which depended for | its success unon duplicity and dishon-| esty."” Spooner of Wisconsin made an extendad i legal and constitutional argument in sup- | port of the measure. He maintained that Congress had the constitutional right to | tax oleomargarine and he supported the | measure because he belleved such a tax | was in the Interest of the people. Dis- cussing the coloring of oleomargarine, he | said: | “The most impudent proposition I ever heard is that of the hog and steer butter makers that they discovered the butter color. You may color butter as you please | and it is still butter, and you may color oleomargarine as you please, and it is stil! not butter.” Bailey of Texas began a speech in op- position. to the pending measure, consid- | ering the bill especially in its legal aspect | and in its relation to questions of fact. The House to-day made rapid progress with the sundry civil appropriation bill, completing ninety-three of the one hun- | dred and twenty-nine pages of the bill. | Efforts to amend the bill were success- fully defeated as a rule by Cannon, chair- man of the Appropriations Committee. who was personalty in echarge of the measure. Sulzer of New York offered an amend- ment to A?propflale $50,000 for lighting the torch of Bartholdi's Statue of Liberty in New York harbor. Sulzer said this | light was put out March 1. Since the statue was erected in /until now, he sald, the sundry civil bill Jad always car- ried an appropriation for Zhis light. When Sulzer concluded Cannon congratulated him on the speech and then asked him if he withdrew his amendment. Sulzer re- plied in the negative, whereupon Cannon said that the pending bill carried $1,900,000 for lights, the. expenditure of which, he said, was entirely within the diseretion of the lighthouse board. Cannon said the Appropriation Committee had made some investigation and had ascertained that the light on the Bartholdi statue —was valueless for commercial purposes. On a risifg vote the amendment was carried— 43 to 3. Some Néw York schoolteachers in the gallery applauded, vaociferousiy. Cannon' immediately demanded tellers. “You will have to carry this by tellers and an aye and no vote before it is finaliy adopted,” he declared emphatically. Great interest was taken in the vote by tellers. The pages scurried out to the restaurant and committee rooms to bring in. ab- sentees. When the vote was finally com- pleted the first vote was reversed and thae amendment was defeated—61 to 67. —_— FATHER AND CHILDREN PERISH IN THE FLAMES Six Lives Are Lost in the Burning of a Residence in Pennsyl- vania.

WASHINGTON, April 1—The Philip- pine civil government bill, as framed by the Republican members of the House Insular Commitiee, was presented to the full committee at a meeting to-day. The bill differs in many respects from the bill just completed by the Senate Philippine Committee chiefly in the following peints: A complete plan of civil government, with a Legislative Assembly, including a lower house elected by the people, Is pro- vided by the House bill, to go into effect when permanent ‘peace is certified by th> Governor to the President to have beeu established, and “after the completion of a census. 7The - House measure .also adopts the coinage plan recommended by the Philip- plne Committee and by Conant, who in- vestigated the subject for the War De- partment, making the gold dollar the unit of, value. In addition..the bill provides elaborate mining, timber and franchise sections, and also sets forth a declara~ tion of rights as a basis of citizenship. The committee will meet again to-mor- row, and Chairman Cooper expects to hold continuous fsessions, so as to report the bill by the ehd of this week. 'he Democratic members of the In- sular Committee have about agreed upon the main features of a substitute bill. This differs considerably from the substi- tute proposed by .the Democratic Sen= ators. It contemplates ultimate independ- ence of the islands, this Government re- serving such coaling stations or naval ] The with~ drawal of the United States troops is con- temiplated as soon as a native police es- tablishment is in operation.
