Eight pages of the postoffice appropriation bill were disposed of, The question of an investigation of the Postoffice Department was brought by Williams, the, minority leader, who proposed an amendment of five members of the House and three Senators to make a compléte investi- gation into the alleged frauds in that He taunted the Repub- | licans for their failure to order an in- vestigation, and said the party .was opposed to it. The chair sustained a point of order by Overstreet against the amendment, and when Willlams appealed the chair was sustained—132 to 99, The Senate to-day passed the Indian appropriation bill. After the routine features of the bill had been disposed of Bacon again raised the ques- tion of civil service appointmenis, nas- ing his remarks upon the ment Senators from States of political faith different from that of the President should be consulted about appoint- ments. Bacon contended that the Southern States were practically dis- franchis:d under a Republican admin- istration, and said that this condition of affairs was contrary to the intention of the founders of the Government. _Early in the day Gibson spoke in support of his bill for,the repeal of the desert land act, the lumber and stone laws and the commutation clause | of the homestead law. The Benate, in executive session, rati- fied a treaty with France extending to Tunis and other French protectorates all of the existing treaties between France and the United States. e COASTWISE LAWS BILL.

BURTON CASE NEARING END | Government Surprises the I Defense by Uncxpectedlyi Concluding Its Testimony | CONTINUANCE GRANTEDi - Counsel for Accused Senator | | Given Until To-Day to Pre- pare Opening Argument l | | 8T. LOUIS, March 24—The Govern- | ment rested its case to-day in the trial of United States Senator Joseph P. Burton, whe is charged with having illegally zcceépted fees from the Rialto Grain and Securities Company of St. Louis. The action of the Government came as a surprise to the defense. Shortly after Judge Chester H. Krum, for the defense, had started his open- ing argument, Senator Burton and Frederick Lehmann, associate counsel fcr the defense,~held a hasty confer- ence and Lehmann, interrupting Judge Krum, secured a continuation until to- morrow. | In concluding its evidence the Gov- ernment showed by the testimony of Chief Postoffice Inspector Cochrane of Washington that he had been required by Senator Burton té call at his (Bur- ton’s) office on the afternoon that Sen- ator Burton's indictment was made in | Washington. Inspector Cochrane tes- tified that Burton had asked him on what charge the indictment had been returned. , ! “I told him,” continued Cochrane, “that as I had been a witness before the Grand Jury 1 cculd not discuss the evidence, but that the indictment was found under section 1782, Revised Statutes. Burton told me that he had appeared before the Postoffice Depart- ment not as a United States Senator, but simply as an attorney for the Ri- aito Grain and Securities Company. I pointed out to him that my under- standing of the statutes was that the t that he had acted as the attor- | ney for the Rialto Company was re- sponsible for his indictment.” ) REVISED THE INTERVIEW. | | J. H. Aubere, a Washington news- | paper correspondent, then took the stand. He testified that he had ob- tained a dictated interview with Sen- ator Burton at about 3 o'clock on the afterncon the indictment was made public. i “Shortly after 9 o'clock that night,” continued the witness, “Burton visited office and requested that he be al- ed_to read the interview which I had prepared from notes 1 had made in the afternoon. I submitted the man- uscript to Mr. Burton and he read it carefully. The only change he made in the original was that at his dicta- tion 1 inseérted the words, ‘I did not act as an attorney for the Rialto Grain and Securfties Company before the 3 ice Department in any matter."” ctor Cochrane was then recalled and in reply to questions stated that the time of his visit to Senator Bur- ton was shortly after 5 o’clock on the afternoon that the Senator is alleged to have given the interview to Aubere. When first questioned Inspector | Cochrane testified that Senator Burton had visited him at the Postoffice De- partment, the date he could not remem- ber, he said, and inquired regarding { complaints against the Rialto com- pany. INCREASING HIS INCOME. “At that time there had not been any-| complaints,” continued Inspector Coch- rane, “and I so informed the Senator. On February 5, 1902, I received a tele- phone message from Senator Burton asking me to call on him at his office. After discussing several matters in which the Brooks Brokerage Company, the predecessor of the Rialto Company, was involved, Senator Burton told me that he wished to represent the Rialto Company in matters before the depart- ment, for which he was to receive a large fee. He assured me that he did not wish to antagonize the department. He also said that he had consulted sev- eral of his colleagues in the Senate and they assured him that his connection with the Rialto Company was legal and that many Senators had increased their income in similar ways.* Senator Burton said that he had lost $10,000 re- cently for which he was not legally re- sponsible, but which he wished to repay, and that his fees would revert to that use.” W. J. Vickery, chief postoffice in- spector at Cincinnati, testified that he had accompanied Inspector Cochrane to Senator Burton’s office on the even- ing that the indictment became known in Washington. He substantiated Cochrane's testimony and testified that Burton said that he had appearel “only as an attorney for the Rialto Company before the department and not as a United States Sepator.” Hector McRae, who said that he was comptroller for the Rialto Company on March 26, 1903, then testified and the case was continued.

Early to-day he had 4 reiapse, from which he did not rally, and died peace- fully at 10:30 o'clock. Sir Edwin con- tinued hig literary work until quite recently, his last writing being in con- | nection with the Russo-Japanese \'»:lr“ in which he was greatly interested. | The funeral will take piace on Marr;hi 28. The body will be cremated at Edwin Arnold, author of the “Light; of Asia” and many other poems not so well known, was born at Gravesend, | England, June 10, 1832. He was the| second son of Robert Coles Arnold, J.| P. for the counties of Sussex and Kent, | and the brother of Sir Arthur Arnoid, | K. B., LL.D., Cambridge, D. L. and M. P. from Salford. i Young Arnold gtudied at King's School, Rochester and Kings' College, London, and then entered Oxford Uni-| versity on an elective scholarship, and | was graduated with honors in 1854 | He early gave evidence of his apti-! tude for verse, and in 1852 he was awarded the Newdigate prize for his Inglish poem on the “Feast of Belshaz- | zar.” In 1853 he wa cted to ad- dress the late Earl Derby on his instal- | lation as Chancellcr of the Unlversity. | After some service as second master of an English school he was appeinted prineipal of the Govermment Sanskrit College at Poona, India. and fellow of the University of Bombay. He held these offices through the Sepoy mutiny and until 1861; when he-resigned and returned to England. During his stay | in India he contributed largely to crit- ical and literary journals, made a num- ber of translations and wrote several [\Zé‘mu and prose works. On his return to London he became a member of the editorial staff of the Dally Telegraph, and in behalf of the proprietors of that paper arranged for the first expedition of George Smith to Assyria, and in con- junction with the New York Herald | for He M. Stanley's expedition.to Af- rica. e retained his conpection with, the Daily Telegraph up to a short time ago. Arnold received many special marks of honor from royal hands. On the occasion of the proelamation of Queen Victoria as Empress of India he was made a Companion of the Star of In-| dia, and in 1888 was created Knight | Commander of the Indian Empire by | the Queen. For his wi , “The Light | of Asia,” published in 1879, he was dec- | orated with the Order of the White Elephant by the King of Siam, and for his ‘‘Pearls of the -Faith, or Islam’s | Rosdry,” published in 1883, he received from the Sultdn- of Turkey the Tmpe- | rial Order of Osmanie in 1886.

In 1893 he was chosen president cf the Birmingham and Midland Institute. 8ir Bdwin Arnold was a prolific writ- er. Besides the works above mentioned the most noted of his many produc- tions were perhaps “The Light of the World,” an epic poem (1892); “India Revisited” (1891), “Seas and Lands,” books of travel, ‘“Japonica,” which treats of life and things Japanese, and “Adzuma, theLdapanese Wife,” a play His last volume, “The' Tenth Muse and Other Poems,” was published in 1895. In his later years Sir Edwin Arnold gave many evidences of lack of mental equilibrium and perverseness. During hid stay in Japan some years ago his conduct in Tokio and Yokohama was such that the English residents refused to receive _or countenance him. He “Japanned” himself, donned Japanese apparel and leaving his own people ccneorted almost entirely with the Jap- anese, by whom he was highly thought of on account of his Buddhistic lean- ings# and whom he in turn lauded greatly. He was thrice married, flrst in 1854 to Miss Katherine E. Biddulvh, who died in 1864, then to Miss Fanny Chan- ning of Boston, both being daughters of clergymen, and lastiy in 1897, in London, to Tama Kirakawa of Sendal, Japan.

The section of !the bill making provision for bonds | for internal improvements was amend- ed so that the law to be passed by the Philippine Commission creating the in- debtedness Is to be approved by the President of the United States. The Secretary submitted an entire- ly new section on the railroad guaran- teeing problem. It authorizes the Phil- ippine Government to guarantee an income not to exceed 5 per cent on cap- ital invested in the islands. The act of the commission shail provide for Governmental supervision of the finances of tne roads, thelr location, construction and maintenance. There must be two or more Government di- rectors on the board. The guarantee may be in the form of a guaranty of interest on bonds or of income on preferred or common stock, or in such other form as may be determined by the Philippine Gov- ernment. The total lability of the Philippine Government under the guar- anty shall not exceed $1,500,000 annual- ly. In case the Philippine Government cannot secure the construction of the | roads desired it is authorjzed to issue | bonds at not less than par to an | amount not exceeding $30,000,000, and with the proceeds construct the need- ed roads. Secretary Taft explained that he was not in favor of the Government con- structing the roads, but, he belle{ad that if the Government Tetained %Yhe right to do so better terms might be secured from private investors. The committee did not act upon the bill. o ) N CUEERS OUEEN Cl POOR CHILDREN Alexandra Enjoys a Nine-| Cent Dinner With Young! Factories | Employes of LONDON, March 24.—The rdutine of royalty was interestingly broken to-day Wwhen Queen Alexandra vpaid an infor- mal visit to the Alexandra Trust and there enjoyéd a 9-cent dinner among the " factories’ employves and children of the East knd. The Queen has always taken keen interest in the institution, which was founded on her plan to give the poor the cheapest possible food without sav- oring of charity. She arranged to-day visit privately with Sir Thomas Lip- ton, who is the principal contrib- utor to the institution. They drove up in closed carriages, accompanied by Princess Victoria, Earl « Grey, treas- urer of the household of her Majesty, and Countess de Grey; Miss Knollys and Sidney Greville. the private secre- tary of the “ueen. A mor of the Queen’'s coming par- tially leaked out, and the dining-rooms were packed. Amon~ those present were John D. Crimmins of New York and Miss Crimmins, who had beer let into the secret. Like a fac- tory girl who had just preceded her, the Queen we=* to the desk and ask- ed for eight dinner checks, tendering a half-crown. She was told that they wouid be sixpence more which Earl de Grey promptly contributetd. Sir Thomas Linton conducted the royal guest. who was simply dressed in black, through the dining-rooras. The news of the identity of this ex- traordinarily young-looking woman soon spread, and the children crowded around her, eagerly touching her dress and looking up into her face. “Those who could not get near stood on tables to catch a glimpse of their Queen. Soon the whole building rang with the shrill cheers of the delighted children and girls, The Queen saw two mites crying. “What is the matter?” she asked. Theyv had lost their dinner tickets. Their grief was quickly turned to joy by the gift of a shilling from the royal purse. S0 ~thickly did the children, most of them typically ragged urchins of the East End, crowd around the rcyal visitor that one of the attendants tried to make a passageway for her Maj- esty. “Don’t bother,” said the Queen. “I did not come here to disturb them.” After talking with several employes who were in the midst of their meal, which is daily served to some 2000 to 4000 versons, the’ Queen and her party, accompanied by Sir Thomas. went upStairs to the room where they all redeemed their meal tickets, of plum pudding, a glass of water a mug of coffee. e 2 = reach Tucson to-morrow, he having left here yesterday upon receiving a dispatch announcing the serious con- dition of his wife, L T————— San Joge Physician Dead.

Perks, Liberal member of Parlia- | ment for the Louth division of Linco: shire, delivered yesterday at the open- ing of a Methodist bazaar at Louth, in which he vigorously criticized Rev. Reglald John Campbell, minister of | the City Temple here. Both men are pillars of nonconformity, one of them being practically the head of the min- istry and the other one of the most prominent laymen. The two main points of Perks’ attack were Rev. Mr. Campbell’s recent presentation at court by the Bishop of London and the pro- jected surplicing of Dr. Campbell's choir of the City Temple. | “I was sorry,” sald Perks, “to see a few days ago, when Mr. Campbell | wished to go to court, that he asked the Bishop of London to present him to the King. What would have been sald in the days gone by if Puritan preachers, persecuted not by Parlia- ment, as they are now, but by a feeble Stuart .King, had asked Archbishop Laud to present them to King Charles? Mr. Campbell would have been far bet- ter advised if he had asked the vet- eran’ leader of nonconformity, Rev. James Guiness Rogers, to introduce him _to King Edward instead of going to a’levee hanging to the apron strings | of an Anglican Bishop.” Referring to the surplicing of the men and women of the choir in gowns {and velvet caps Perks said: “Ritualism is a steep and slippery slope. Possibly the next thing we shall see is Mr. Campbell marching around the aisles of the City Temple, followed by his surpliced choir, chanting a pro- cessional hymn, with the reluctant dea- cons behind. These are days when neneonfofmity is confronted with a severe struggle. We expect our preach- ers to march ith fearless, buoyant steps and not become camp-followers “h_ the Anghcan army.” —_———————— | MME. CARO ROMA SINGS | BEFORE PAPYRUS CLUB erx. R. E.

My friends often “josh” me about it, tell me I'm an easy mark for patent medicine fakers, that advertised medi- | cines. are humbugs, etc., but I netice | that they afe nearly always complain- |ing of their aches and pains and poor digestion, while I can stand meost any old kind of fare and feel good and ready for my work when it needs me, and I believe I owe my good digestion and sound health to the daily, regular use of Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets, year in and year out, and all the “joshing” in the world Will never convince me to the contrary. I used to have heartburn about three times a day and a headache about three or four times a week and after standing for this for four or five years I began to leok around for a crutch and found it when my doctor told me the best investment I coul make would be a 50 cent box o Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets, and I have invested about 50 cents a menth foy them ever since and when I stop to think that that is what I spend every day for cigars, I feel like shaking hands with myself, for I can keep my stomach and digestion in first-class or- der for 50 cents a month. I don't care for any better life insurance. My druggist tells me they are the most popular of all stomaeh medi- cines and that they have' maintained their popularity and swecess because they d0 as advertised. They bring re- sults, and results are what count in patent medicine as much as in selling barb wire. 3
