Another bill of interest to the commer- clal world is the pure-food measure which was drafted by the Pure-Food Congress end after extended hearings was reported om the House Committee on Commerce, ut not passed. FINANCIAL MEASURES. The Fowler bill probably was the most tmportunt financial measure which has been brought before Congress. After much discussion and several conferences | it has gone over for consideration until next December. Another financial measure was the Hili bill, providing for the coinage of subsid- jary coins and the retirement of the pres- ent standard silver dollar, which passed the House but has not been acted on by the Senate. Among _the ot of general leg named, which have finally been enacted as laws, are the following: prevent the sale of firearms, opium and intoxicat- ing liquors to the natives of certain of the Pacific islands; to promote the effi- clency of the revenue-cutter service and to_provide for the retirement of officers; to refund the duties paid in Porto Rico on articles imported from the United Btates during the military occupation; eppropriating $200,000 for the relief of the volcano sufferers at Martinique; author- izing the erection of Young Men's Chris- tion Association institutions on United States military reservations; regulating the introduction of English game birds for the purpose of propogation; providing for the protection of game in Alaska, such as caribou, moose, etc.; refunding the amount of legacy tax pald by charity, benevolent and eleemosynary institutions.

The appropriation | | bills have contained little extra legisla- | tion, being confined generally to the regu- | lar heeds of the various branches of the Government.

Congress Will Adjourn on Wednes- day at the Latest. WASHINGTON, June 29.—The exact | time when the political fession of Con- | Bress shall come to a close cannot be | foretold. There is no definite information | a5 to when an agreement will be reached upon the Philippine civil government biil. However, the consensus of opinion places the adjournment on Tuesday, or at the Wednesday. This prediction in- the opinion that the Philippine | conferees will be able to conclude their work to-morrow. That they can do this s quite evident, in view of what has al- v been accomplished in the way of rmonizing the differences on that bill {and on account of the probability that | parts of the measure will be dropped in case it should appear that no agreement can be reached except through a pro- longed exchange of views. Nelther house is disposed to extend the session for more than a day or two for the purpose of ob- | taining an agreement on all the features of the bill, when it is felt on all hands that the preservation of no one feature of the bill is necessary to its success as | a whole. It is not believed in any quarter that either house will consume a great deal of time in debating the conference report when reported, but lest the debata should run longer than is expected the resolution fixing the time for adjourn- ment will not be brought in until the | Philippine conference report ghall have been made to and accepted by both | houses. Of the appropriation bills only the gen- eral deficlency and the naval bill remain | to receive the finishing touches. There | are still some points of difference on each | of these measures between (he two houses, but none that cannot be har- monized whenever the Philippine bill | shall be out of the way.

There is also an under- standing that the London dock charges | bill shall be taken up under a suspension of the rules after the adoption of the res- olution fixing the hour for adjournment. Both houses will close the session with | exceptionally clean calendars ahd with | the feeling on all sides that it has been | a session of important achievements, STILL UNABLE TO AGREE. Conferees on Philippine Government Bill Hold Sabbath Session. WASHINGTON, June 20.—The conferees on the Philippine Government bill were in session a large part of the Sabbath. They met in the forenoon at Senator Lodge’s house, breaking up about 1 o’clock and reassembling at 9 o'clock. After the conference took a recess at 4 o'clock it was stated thatr no agreemcnt had been reached on the colnage and Phil- ippine legisiation branches of the bill, but that indications were favorable to an agreement, The night session of the conference last- ed until 1:30 this (Monday) morning. It was not conclusive, an arrangement being made to meet again at 10 o'clock this morning. It was stated by the confere that there was little doubt that an agre ment could be reached at the session to- day in time to be reported to Congress during the day, thus assuring a speedy adjournment of Congress. The questions still at issue relate to coinage, a Philippine Legislature and land matters. e session on the Philippine bill to-day was one of the Republican conferees, the Democrats not being united pending an agreement by the majority. FROLIC OF THE GARDEN CITY ELKS WILL DELIGHT VISITING THOUSANDS Circus Programme of Remarkable Variety and Merit Is Prepared by Members of 3 ] LEADER OF Ty W NE & 24N> rumar AN JOSE, June 29.—All San Jose is on the tiptoe of excitement in anticipation of the great circus to be given by the Elks on the Fourth of July. Never before has anything created such a furor with the people, and the Elks have promised that it will exceed any show ever given in the Garden City. The three-ring, all-rail shows of Forepaugh and Barnum are to be outdone, so the promoters say. Jack- sor. Hatch, the general manager, and Dr. D. F. McGraw, the advertiser, have se- cured a list of attractions that cannot be beaten. Not only has Santa Clara County and the State been drawn upon for ex- hibits, but many of the outside States will be represented. For the past month the Elks have been preparing for the circus. A tent to cost 2000 has been made to order. This will be pitched in the lot at the corner of Sixth and Santa Clara streets to-morrow vight. The canvas is 200 by 200 feet and will cover 10,000 people. Around this are to be six side shows and their exhibits. Everything will be as the real circus E3 the Order in San Jose and All Records of Former Events Are to Be Crushed, Comminuted and Macadamized S S L e el AR B b in Rapturous Festival and overhead artists will be constantly performing on swinging trapeze and bar. OUTFIT IS COMPLETE. The outfit secured by the Elks is the most complete owned by any soclety out- side of the big circuses in the world. An Eik circus hereafter is to be an annual wflair in San Jose, and no expense was spared in arranging for this show. The most gorgeous trappings and parapher- nalla have been purchased. The San Jose Llks' lodge includes over 300 of the most prominent people in the Garden City, and each is interested in making the show a tremendous success. Opeming with the big parade in the morn- ing, Juiy 4 will be one long day of fun and pleasure. The usual free performance ot tight-rope walking and other shows will follow on the grounds after the mon- ster street pageant. Two performances of the circus will be given, afternoon and evening. Thirty-five clowns will amuse the spectators. There will be trained horses and dogs and wild and tame ani- mals. A drove of twenty trained elks is algo announced. A human pyramid, acro- batic feats of all kinds, a marvelous slide for life, knife-throwing, fancy shooting and balancing are on the programme. All the Elks are on the programme, too. The Lion brothers—Henry, Emile and Ernest—merchants, are scheduled for an act. Oscar Stern, manager of the l-‘red: ericksburg brewery; Al Eaton, banker; C. W. Knox, banker; Dr. Mc¢Graw, dentist, and District Attorney Campbell are among_the clowns. Jackson Hatch and Major Braslan are to be ringmasters; Su- perior Judge Lorigan will sell peanuts; Judge M. H. Hyland, circus lemonade; Justice J. T. Wallace, lemonade, and Jus- tice E. M. Rosenthal will spiel for a side show. City Treasurer Tom McGeoghegan will do a mechanical bareback act and also ride a wild bull, which is to be adorned with elk horns. “Jack” Gilkyson of the telephone company will do a bareback act, Ed Jobson will ride “a horse that has rever saw man,” and Gus Mullen has en- tered a mule that can do everything but talk. The whole show will conclude with hippodrome races. In the six side shows will be all kinds of attractions. A bearded lady, a Maori Queen, the half lady, a wild man and a living skeleton will be shown. The main sidée show will be opened on the evening of the 3d of July, so that the people may see just what they may expect.

McKINLEY MEMORIAL TABLET IS UNVEILED President Roosevelt Attends Simple Ceremonies Held in Metropolitan M. E. Church, Washington. WASHINGTON, June 29.—A small tab- let of white marble bearing in letters of gold a brief of the life and deeds of Wil- liam McKinley, the tribute of his friend, Judge Thomas H. Anderson, formerly of Ohio, but now a member of the District bench, was unveiled in the Metropolitan M. E. Church here to-day. The unveiling was attended with simple ceremony, in the presence of some of those who had helped the dead President execute the will of the people. Well- known men added their tributes toy the solemn melodles of the choir in making the occasion a memorable one, The Amer- ican flag that concealed the tablet was drawn aslde as the congregation sang with deep feeling “Nearer, My God, to Thee.” The tablet occupies a position on the north wall of the main auditorium, midway between the two entrances to the church. President Roosevelt and Secre- tary Cortelyou were present. Addresses were made by Rev. Dr. Frank Bristol, pastor of the church, Senator Falrbanks, Representative Grosvenor and Represent.- ative R. W. Taylor of Ohio, who repre- sents the district in Congress formerly represented by President McKinley. ot G Robertson Walks Into Jail. SALT LAKE CITY, June 29.—Alexander A.

King Edward's {llness fattened everything, prices falling in anticipation of sharp selling, but no sales of import- ance were made. Quotations revived, however, and the decline on_ the week proved generally small. The demand for money was strong, the holiday settiement and the turn of the half-year all falling together. The market was forced to go about £10,000,000 in debt to the bank, but there is an expectation of easier rates’dur- ing the coming month and talk of gold ex- ports from New York. The general feel- ing is that there is good business ahead, barring a serious relapse in the condition of the King. BERLIN, June 29.—The Boerse had an extremely dull look last week, and many prominent securities were misquoted for some days because of the lack of trans- actions. ~All departments scored declines, especially coal shares and irons, and ma- chinery shares were unusually heavy.

One man, Francis M. English, a prominent musician of tud city, was instantly killed and about forty passengers were more or less serlously injured, three or four probably fatally.

The wreck occurred at an abandoned EEEOAS, station known as Culburs siding, one mile above Cascade, in Ute Pass, and twelve miles from Colorado Springs. = fect for seven months between the rail- roads running from this city to Cripple Creek had been called off, the rates to go up July 1, and as a result the train was crowded by excursionists who want- ed to take advantage of the cheap rate. The cars that left the tracks and went over the embankment contained 371 pas- sengers, and it is almost miraculous that the death list was not enormous. The second "car on the train, a day coach, was crushed to kindling wood, be- ing turned completely over on its end, so that the rear end of the coach was for- ward. The third coach plunged clear through the second and it was in the for- ward end of this car that knglish was killed. His neck was caught between two seats and he strangled to death be- fore help could reach him. He was com- ing to Colorado Springs from Cascade to play the organ at St. Stephen's Episco- pal Church, where he had been organist for several years. A relief train went to the scene from this city and returned at 1:30, bringing the dead and injured here. The injured were taken to "St. Francis Hospital, where all are doing as_well as could be expected. The little O’Rourke girl is ex- pected to die at any time and Miss Es- telle Lewis, a dentist of Cripple Creek, is in a very critical condition. Dr. H. P. Packard of Gillett, Colo., who was en route to this city, was the only physician on the train. He did most he- roic and efficient service before the physi- clans and relief supplies could be sent from this city., The location’ of the wreck was such that there is. no delay to traffic. The track is torn up for fully 100 yard: not blocked. This fact facilitated the work of clearing the wreck. Engineer J. B.

Examining Board Resumes Its Investigation Into the Cruelty Charges. MANILA, June 20.—A detachment of United States marines and a force of the native comstabulary have had an engage- ment with a large body of ladrones in Monong Province, Luzon. One marine and seven ladrones were killed. The board which iInquired into the charges of cruelty, etc., brought by Mu- jor Cornellus Gardener, Gdvernor of the province of Tayabas, against American officers and soidiers, being desirous of completing its sittings, held a session to- day. The recorder objected to the Idn‘lll- sion as evidence of addresses from Fili- pinos on the ground that these were merely buncombe and not worthy of con- sideration. He sald that every regiment was deluged with such addresses, the worst regiments getting the most praise. | He said that Major Gardener should have called the afflants when he was at Lucena, in Tayabas Province, and that the court would personally undertake to obtain 600 aMdavits regarding conditions in Tayabas. The Filipinos, said the re- corder, are designing and past masters in the act of affidavits and addresses and the board had allowed the affidavits pre- sented by Major Gardener, but refused to receive more. | Major Gardener, continuing his testi- mony, said he had considered his original report to be strictly confidential and for Secretary of War Root, and that since he wrote this report and during the pres- ent investigation he had heard testimony which he presumed to be true, which, had | he heard before, might have caused him | materially to have aitered his report. He | sald that insurgent troops might have | been temporarily disbanded and hidden | and no one except themselves cognizant of their existence. Regarding the al- | leged, cases of outrages committed by five | scidiers, Major Gardener said he did not | desire to bring these cases before the board and that they probably were not | true, although he had made his report in | good faith, as the original affidavits | proved. b | " Regarding the charge that American soldiers in the summer and fall of 1901 had administered the water cure to na- tives, Major Gardener sald that he re- ceived information to that effect from deputations of citizens from towns near which the cure was said to have been xiven. 3 Brigadier General George W. Davis, in command of the American forces at Zam- boanga, Mindanao, has been ordered to Manila to take command of the Depart- ment of the North. Brigadier General Samuel 8. Sumner will succeed General Davis at Zamboanga. According to officlal reports there have been in Manila up tp date 1740 cases of cholera and 1385 deaths from the disease. The same reports for the provinces show 9444 cases and 7038 deaths. Lieutenant Colonel Louis M. Maus, the Insular Heaith Commissioner, says that there probably have been 2000 deaths from cholera in tha | provinces of which it has been impossible to get records.

DENVER, Colo., June 29.—Eleven per- sons were injured, four of them fatally, last night by the wrecking of a tramway car which was returning to the city from Elitch’'s gardens. The injured: Mrs. F. E. Wessel, 3030 Mead street, concussion of the brain and neck injured; Mrs. W. ¥. Rogers, 625 Twenty-fifth street, head | cut, shoulders bruised and severely shock- ed; Lena M.
