WASHINGTON, April 24—During the consideration of routine business in the Senate to-day a bill was reported from the Judiciary Committee and passed, pro- viding that certain clerical defects in nat- uralization cases in Territorial courts that have gone out of existence may be reme- dfed on proper hearing. A resolution offered by Proctor of Ver- miont, directing the Secretary of War to send to the Senate all reports regarding the Buffington-Crozier _gun which may have been made to the depart- ment, was adopted. Bllls were then passed as follows: To provide for the purchase of a site and the erection of a public building thereon in the city of Washington to be used for a hall of records and indicating an appro- priation of $1.000.000 for the purpose; au- thorizing an increase of pension in cases involving total deafness; making the pro- vision of the act of Congress approved February 28, 1901, relating to pubiic lands, applicable to the State of Utah; authoriz- ing the appointment of a committee to distribute 000 of the funds of the Choctaw and Chickasaw nations of In- dians among Indigent members of those nations. The Senate then passed forty-three pri- vate pension bills. At 4:40 o'clock it went into_executive session and at 4:35 o'clock journed ATTENTION, VOTERS!

WASHINGTON, April 24—The House to-day sent the oleomargarine bill to | conference after agreeing to the Senate amendments with some modifications | suggested by the Agricultural Committee. The opponents of the measure offered a number of amendments, the principal one of which was designed to place renovated butter on the same footing with oleomar- garine, but they were voted down. The latter part of the day was devoted to .he agricultural appropriation bill. Goldfogie of New York in a personal ex- planation, supplementing the statements of Creamer and Lessler yesterday, de- nried the charges that the New York dele- gates had been derelict in the matter of pressing the New York postoffice -bill. The Hause then resumed the considera- tion of the Senate amendments to the | oleomargarine bill. ‘The opponents of the bill made a strong effort to place renovated or process but- | ter on the same footing with oleomarga- | rine, but they were defeated by a two- thirds majority. At the conclusion of the debate the amendment was sent back to conference. The House then went into committee of the whole and took up the agricultural appropriation bill. It was agreed that there should be three hours’ general de- bate upon each side. ‘Wadsworth of New York, in charge of the bill, made a brief preliminary state- ment of the contents of the bill, which he explained cargled $5,158,570, an increase of $576,150 over the current law. The largest increases were those for the Weather Bureau and the Bureau of Plant Industry, each about $100,000. Fox of Mississippi. availing himself of the latitude allowed in general debate, discussed the question of restricted suf- frage in the South, with especial refer- ence to the legislation of his own State, which he defended. He argued that Mis- siesippi had done the wise and patriotic thing and deserved the commendation of the country. At the conclusion of Fox's remarks the House at 508 p. m. ad- Jjourned e New Portuguese Minister. WASHINGTON, April 24.—Senhor Tay- eira, the Portuguese Charge, has informed the State Department of the arrival in ‘Washington of Visconti-de Alle, the newly appoinied Portuguece Minister, who re- | places Senhor Santo-Thierso. The new Minister is expected to appear at the State Department to-morrow. Rt bt Wilhelmina Shows Fortitude. LONDON, April 24—The Amsterdam correspondent of the Dally Mail says he is assured that Queen Wilhelmina's con- dition gives no cause for alarm.

Chicago Merchants Second Efforts of Friends of Measure. LJ WASHINGTON, April 24—William H. “Chadwick, chairman of the transporta- tion committee of the Board of Trade of Chicago, has written a letter to Repre- sentative Newlands of Nevada, the au- thor of the pending-irrigation bill, sus- gesting new reasons why the measure should be passed. He says: The districts which compose the “arid lands,” by reason of tie intense dry heat there pro- duced, and through the ~eastward move- ment ‘of all atmospheric conditions across the continent, are and always have been a men- ace to all that grest agricultural country lying to the east and northeast of the section in question, notably Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Missouri, Iliinots, Towa, South Dakota, Indiana and Ohto. The tremendous, losses experienced within the past twelve months by farmers, the livestock interests and merchants and common carriers are fresa in our minds—a veritable calemity. The great loss evtailed through the partial failure of the crop and the enforced cub- stitution on a large scale of other grain to sup- Vly the deficiency thereby caused, with wheat, 1ye, oats, etc., resulted in the curtailment of exports to suca an extent as to be not only exiraordinary, but In some instances, as with €37n. sersutinal. ~ THc effects in the Eastern, or consuming States, are notabte, and scarcely any part of the Unlon has been unaffected by the conditions produced by the scorching blight, which, origi- nating only in the arid region, blasted the CTODS over an important part of the country. We who are directly affected. by such mis- fcrtunes desire to earnestly second the en- deavor to remove the constant menace to pros- berity in Such a- wide scope of territory and ask for legislation to that end. CHANGES IN DIPLOMATIC AND CONSULAR SERVICE Embassador Choate Will Remain in England, but Several Subordi- nates Will Be Removed. CALL BUREAU, 1406 G STREET, N. W., WASHINGTON, April 24.—The reor- ganization of the diplomatic and consu- lar service of the United States is to be comprehensive. In a short time changes will be made in at least nine missions and the men affected will include mot only Ministers, but secretaries as well. In addition there is to be a sweeping out of the dead wood in the consular service. = 2 which will have changes inel are those in Berlin, Rome and London, and the missions will be those to Spain, China. Japan, Guate- mala, Colombia and possibly Argentine. Until the resignations of Embassadors ‘White and Meyer are received nothing will be dond about appointing their suc- cessors Choate will remain as Embas- n London, v in that city will be among his ubordinates. Henry White is slated to succeed Meyer as Iimbassador to Italy. Storer is slated for an embassy which remains to be determined. H. Clay Evans continues to be the only person mentioned as Storer’s successor in Madrid. The latest change slated is that in the miseion to Colombia. Charles B. Hart of West Virginia, who is now in this ccun- iry on a leave. of absence, is not ex- pected to return .to his post. Dr. W. Godfrey Hunter will also tender his res- ignation. In view of the number of can- didates for -diplomatic posts there is no reason to believe there will be a lack of applicants for Guatemala and Colombia. Buck, Minister to Japan, will remain in Tokio only a short time longer and will then retire. His successor has not vet been selected.

DENVER, April, 24.—A special to the News from Lake City, Colo., says Frank Nicolli, an Italian miner, this afternoon shot and killed Mrs. ‘Stockder, wife of Moritz Stockder, superintendent of the Hidden Treasure mine, and then blew out his own brains. Nicolll was formerly an employe of the mine, and, it is said, hie blamed Mrs. Stockder for his dis- charge, which recently occurred. Mrs. Stockder saw Nicolli coming to her home and ran into a bedroom, locking the door. Nicolli followed her, breaking down theé door, shot her three tlmes and then turned his pistol on himself. PRACTICAL JOKE ENDS IN DEATH OF THE JOKER Colored Man of Chicago Plays Foot- pad to Frighten a Friend and Is Killed. CHICAGO, April 24—A practical joke terminated fatally for Edward L. Miller, a colored man, who was shot and killed by Joseph B. Brown, another colored man, who was a friend of his vietim. Both men had lived in the same house, 103 Soufh Peoria street, for' several months.

Says He Drew the Weapon After the Railroad Man Struck H‘,il:n. WASHINGTON, April 24.—Senator H. D. Money of Mississippi had an alterca- | tion with a conductor on a streetcar this | morning, which resulted in the Senator’s ! receiving two severe blows from the con- ductor and the conductor being cut quite severely on the.right hand with a knife. | As Senator Money relates the circum- | stances, he was riding from his home to the Baltimore and Ohio depot to take the | 9 o'clock train on that road for Baltimore, | where he goes frequently for medical | THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, FRIDAY, APRIL 25, 1902.

He had taken a car on the Fourteenth-street branch of | the Capital Traction line "and had! chanced to board a car which stopped at the Peace Monument, half a dozen blocks short of his destination. He had failed | to notice this circumstance until the car | began to turn around the monument. The | car bound for the depot was immediately | behind the car on which he was seated. The Senator says that he had only three or four minutes In which to make his’ train, but that after he discovered he! was on the wrong ,car he called to the! conductor and asked him for a transrer' ticket to the car bound for the depot. He | does not recall what the conductor re-| plied, but failing to receive the ticket and | recognizing that he had no time to lose, | he jumped from the car he was on and | boardea the other. He had nd sooner taken his seat, he says, than the con- ductor of that car approached him and asked him for his ticket. He then told the conductor that he had not had time to secure a transfer and reminded him that he, the conductor, had been a witness to circumstances of his change from one car to the other. Conducter Strikes First Blow. | The conductor replied that the Senator | would have to produce a ticket or pay his | fare, whereupon the Senator told him that | he had paid one fare and being entitled to | a transfer, which he had asked for, but | had not received, he would not pay an- other. Thereupon the conductor told him‘ that if he would not pay his fare he would put him off the car and immediately pro- | ceeded to carry his threat into execution. | This the Senator resisted by grasping an | upright post and engaged in a struggle with the conductor, who was not mak-| ing much headway, when a passenger, who had been sitting next to Senator | Money, volunteered to assist the conduc- | tor. By their combined strength they con- ¢ trived to break the Semator’s hold upon the post and force him from the car. | The Senator says that when they first! undertook to eject him the car was in full | motion and he feels that if they had suc- | ceeded at that time he would inevitabuy | have been badly hurt. The conductor and his assistant did not, however, succeed in their design until the car stopped at the next corner to let off other passengers. | He says that both the conductor and the | passenger were very gruff and abusive in their language and that after he had reached the street the conductor hit him a severe blow over the heart with his| clenched fist. ‘The blow, the Senator says, was very painful, and in order to protect | himself he took a small pocket-knife from his pocket and onened it. This weapon | the conductor’grasped, and in doing so| cut his hand so that it bled very freely. Policemen Do Not Fight. After this proceeding other persons stepped between the two, but, notwith- | standing their presence, the conductor, who was a very tall man, struck him an- other:blow over the sghoulder of a man| standing between them. This blow was: struck with the conductor’s bloody hand, | and it hit the Senator squarely on the| jaw. He was as a conseauence of this blow covered with blood from the wounds | of the conductor, and this circumstance | ‘was responsible for a rumor that the Sen-, ator himself had been severely injured. The Senator adds that there were three or four policemen present, but that none of them took any steps to prevent the alter- catlon. He says also that both the con- ductor and the passenger who assisted in his ejectment refused to give their names, The Senator was not badly hurt, but his trip to Baltimore was prevented. He, however, proceeded with his customary duties ahout the Capitol during the day as if nothing unusual had occurred. Later in the day the conductor, who proved to be O. H. Shaner, was arrested on a warrant sworn out by Senator Money. Shaner says he did not strike the Senator until the lattér dréw his knife and that he did not make any effort to put him off the ecar while it was in motion. Senator Money swore to a warrant for the arrest of James E. Hooper, a member | of the local fire department, who was the passenger that aided the conductor. Later Senator Money preferred verbal charges against Hoopéer before the Board of Com- missioners of the District of Columbia. The Senator also wrote the gl‘esldent of the traction company, demanding the im- mediate discharge of Conductor Shaner. SUMMON SENATOR CLARK TO APPEAR BEFORE JUDGE Washington Bicycle Policemen Ac- cuse Him of Running His Au- tomobile Too Fast. WASHINGTON, April 24.—When Secna- tor Clark of Montana arrived at the Sen- ate Annex in his automobile to-day he was interviewed by two bicycle police- men, who had been following him. They asserted that he had been exceeding the speed limit of twelve miles an hour. The Senator declared that he had not been going more than ten miles an hour. The officers requested that the chauffeur ap- pear_at the Police Court to-morrow, apd the Senator agreed to do so. He also £l nounced that he had not intended to vio- late any regulations, but he did not in- tend to be subjected to any unnecessary annoyance, and he would fight the case to the end.

The Committee on Military Affairs de- sired delay. It to-day decided to make a more detailed investigation before tak- ing the matter up in the Senate, as Sen- ator Scott suggested it had been reported that injustice had been done to General Crozier in connection with his interest in the Buffington-Crozier gun carriage. The committee decided to make further in- vestigation, but without asking to have the adverse report eady made by the committee in General Crozier's case with- drawn. All persons having knowledge of the gun carriage, and especially the members of the Board of Ordnance and Fortifica- tions, of which General Miles is president, will be summoned to give testimony. The Senate adopted a resolution offered by Senator Proctor, “directing the Secretary of War to send to the Senate coples of all official reports from artillery officers in regard to the Buffington-Crozier dis- appearing gun carriage made either to the War Department or-to the Board of Ordnance and Fortifications.” It is the general opinion that the com- mittee’s action will postpone considera- tion of the nomination by the Senate for a considerable tim FIRE WIPES OUT SMALL .~ TOWN IN PENNSYLVANIA One Hundred and Fifty Buildings Are Desgtroyed and Five Hun- dred People Homeless. CLARION, Pa., April 24.—The fire at Marienville, Forest County, raged until last night, consuming 10 buildings and entailing a loss of nearly $300,000, with not over $75,0%0 insurance. About one-half of the town is in ashes and 500 people are homeless. The flames spread from the town to a lumber/ yard, and from there to the woods, and Burned two mills up the raflroad. S. L.

Among the buildings destroyed were the postofiice, opera-house, three .hotels, Marienville Ixpress and the Presbyte- rian church. The only business houses standing in the town are the Gold Standard Bank, one store, one hotel and one restaurant. The town was without fire protection, save a small chemical engine, which was practlcnllY useless. It is doubtful if the lace will ever be rebuilt, as it was a Fumber town, and the lumber is nearly all out of this section. Accuses Lawyer of Embezzlement. SAN JOSE, April 24.—J. H.
