WILL BE: PASSED AT ONCE Result of a Conference with the President at the White House—House Passes the Bill Providing for Two Additional Reg- iments of Artillery. Washington, March 8.——Chairman Cannon, of the Approp1iations Com- mittee, yesterday introduced a bill en- titled “Making Appropriations for .the National Defense.” It is as follows: “That there is hereby appropriated out of any money in the Treasurymot otherwise appropriated for the national defense and for each and every purpose connected therewith. to be expended at the discretion of the President and to remain available until June 30, 1890, fifty million dollars.” It was referred to the Committ Appropriations. Mr. Cannon had an interview with the President in the morning, and at its conclusion went ,.to the” Capitol and called a. special meeting of the Appro— priations Committee. After this meet- ing Mr. Cannon introduced the National Defense bill in the House. The bill will be passed at once. This can be stated on the highest authority. 89 on ARTILLERY BILL PASSED. House Adopts the Measure to Create Two Additional Regiments. Washington, March 8.——The House immediately on meeting yesterday took up the bill providing for two ad- ditional artillery regiments, and passed it almost unanimously on a viva voce vote. There seemed to be but three votes in the negative: Cox, of Tennessee; Jones, of Virginia; and one other who could not be located. The debate developed nothing excit- ing, but there was a great outburst of enthusiasm when Mr. Hay (Dem., Va.) declared that he stood ready to vote for any measure to prepare for the emeigency which confronted the coun- l1‘1'. \Vhen Congress assembled them was e.idence of general excitement im- mediately after the reading of the joumal in the house Chairman Hull, of the Military Committee, moved 'to take up the Artillery bill. Republicans, Democrats and Populists acquiesced. It required a. two-third vote to pass the bill under suspension of the rules.- No effort was made to obstruct ac- tion, though there" was a desire to ex- tend debate beyond the forty minutes allowed undei the rules, the purpose appa1ently bei1.g to give members an opportunity to go on record for the measure as an emergency proposition. There was no extension of time, how- ever. Neither Mr. Bailey nor any lead- ing democrat uttered a word of op- position. ‘ To Mr. Cox, of Tennessee; was assigned the twenty minutes’ time of the opposition, and that proved to be as much as he could consume. He op- posed the bill in a. ten—minute speech, which was interrupted by Democrats, and then yielded ten minutes to Jones, of Virginia, 11ho spoke against the measure. This ended the opposition. MONEY WILL BE PROVIDED. Senator Hale Advise. Secretary Long to Buy Warships if Necessary. Washington, March 8.—Senato1‘ Hale, chairman of the Senate Committee on Naval Affairs, and also chairman of the Sub-Committee on Appropriations, to consider the naval bill, said yester- day that he had suggested to Secretary Long, of the Navy Department, the ad- visability of making the purchase of any supplies which might be consid— ered necessary in the event of a. war with the understanding that the funds for them would be provided by Con— gress. The Senator said that large quanti- ties of coal had already been practi- cally secured for shipment to Key \Vest, and he had no doubt that the Secretary would extend the policy by contracting for warships and ammuni— tion if necessary. “I hardly think, however,” he said, "that it willbecome necessary, for I hope that there will be no war. Fur- thermore, I doubt the report that Spain has purchased any warships. But be that as it may, no precaution will be left untaken by this country to insure a proper protection of our interests in any contingency. 1 have agreed with those who have advised against special appropriation bills for the purchase of supplies, because I think the Secretary has sufficient'authority now to make any purchase necessary, and if he finds it necessary to expend more funds than he has these will be supplied in the general deficiency or some other general appropriation bill.” ACTIVITY AT DOVER. A TraiipLoad of Ammunition Shipped from There Every Night. New York, March 8.-—The Delaware, Lackawanna. and Western Railroad during the last week has shipped over 50,000 tons of gunpowder and ammuni- tion from the Government storehouses at Dover, N. J. Secret orders have been received from Washington for the railroad to place a. special train at the disposal of. the Government to carry ammunition from Dover in the event of war. It is proposed to sidetrack cars at Dover and run them direct to the Government stores, which are lo- cated about th1ee miles from Dover. Orders have also been received by the Government officials at Dover not to allow anybody to visit the Government reservation until further ~orders. A Government officer is on guard at the gate, both day and night, and inter-‘ cepts all intruders. How much my der and ammunition is stored at Dover is known only to the officials of the War Department in Washington. There are twelve store houses on'the reservation that are all filled. with gunpowder, dynamite, pro— jectiles and ammunition. During th past week a train load of ammunition has left Dover each night of the week. Upon its arrival In Hoboken the am- i - munition was placed on Government ' lighters and taken to the coast forti- Ilcationl. j I: ORA-MP HINTS AT ounce GAME. Sn vs‘ripeculators'Want to Unload Chew: Vessels on the United Stanton. Philadelphia, March' 8.—-Charles ,H. Cramp, head of the shipbuildng firm of Cramp &. Sons, declares that the widespread talk of Spain buying war- ships abroad and the obtaining of. op- tions on these “ships by the United States is part of a. scheme instigated by a. syndicate of adventurers. Their purpose, he said. is to secure big com- missions by helping English and Ger- man ship builders to unload on this Government many unsalabie vessels built either on spectulationor by con— tract with minor governments that are not able to pay for them. , Said Mr. Cramp: ‘fThe total valua- tion of the ships involved in the deal is about, $15,000,000. The commissions which the speculative syndicate would receive for disposing of them to the United States would be about 15 per cent. of the selling price, or, say, $2,- 225,000 on the whole lot.” Mr. Cramp said the syndicate is com- posed of an Anglo-American manufac- turing concern in England, one of the most" noted contract brokers in New York city and certain concerns engaged rials in this country and abroad. IT IS ALL SPAIN’S FAULT. Must Not Blame McKinley for ' Her Awkward Position Regarding Lee. London, March 8.—4 A. M.—'—The Times says editorially this morning: ' “If Spain is placed in an awkward position respecting the Lee incident she must thank the indiscretion of her Foreign Office. She cannot blame Pres- ident McKinley. “Mr. Cannon’s bill can hardly be ex- plained by the Lee incident. It is probable that Spain is purchasing war vessels. “We do not believe that Spain desires war, but if she does, this evidence'of America's alertness offers a. most ef- fectual check. President McKinley ap- pears to be adhering loyally to the pol- icy of firmness, caution and pacific cir- cumspection he has hitherto pursued. “No doubt he has the support of the sober and conscientious mass of the American people, but has had to face outbursts. of popular clamor that a. weaker man might have mistaken for the voice of the country.” WASHINGTON WELL GUARDED. Hostile Warships Would -Be Blown to Pieces in Chesapeake Bay. . Washington, March 8.—The-War De- partment has been working night and day ever since the Maine disaster to ital. It is now asserted that if 100 hos- tile battleships steamed up Chesapeake Bay to bombard Washington every one would be blown to fragments before they came within shooting distance-of Washington. A formidable system of torpedoes and mines have been placed in the Poto- mac River. Fort. Washington and Sheridan’s Point have been converted into veritable Gibraltars by.é‘the estab: lishmentof batteries of concealed 10— inch rifles and mortars. The work has beencarried on swiftly and almost se— cretly, and since it has been progress.- ing no one has been allowed to ap- proach within many hundred yards of the fortifications without an ordei from the Sec1etary of War. Three Outlaws Lynched. Cheyenne, Wyoming, March 8.—Mea- gre details were received here last night of the lynching in the Henry Mountains near the Wyoming-Colorado boundary of three members of the “Robbers’ Roost” which has been terrorizing that region for several years. The men lynched are Louis P. Johnson, F. Bemret and an unknown man. Two weeks ago Johnson murdered a. boy named Will- iam Strong, at Valentine Hoy’s ranch, Wyoming. Hoy headed a. posse to pur- sue Johnson and was ambushed and killed Monday last. A posse of Hoy’s friends, headed by Sheriff’s deputies, continued the pursuit and caught three of the outlaws, who were promptly put to death. Relief Expedltion in Seattle. Seattle, Wash, March 8.-—The Gov- ernment’s Alaska relief expedition, with the 537 reindeer and 113 Lapland— ers, which left New York last Tuesday, March 1, at 6 P. M., overthe Pennsyl- \Iania. Road to Chicago, where it took the St. Paul and Mil. vaukee to this city, here transferring to the Great Northern for the balance of the land'journey, reached here at 5.30 o'clock yesterday afternoon, having made the unprece— dented time for freight trains of six days from coast to coast. deer all stood the journey well. The Laplander children kept the measles with them all the way from New York, reaching Seattle with the whole twen- ty-six suffering from that disease. Houston, Tex., March 8.——-The Post prints :1 letter from United States Scu- ator Mills in which he formally with- This leaves the field to Governor Cul- berson. Mr. Mills gives as the princi- pal reason for his withdrawal, the re— cent action of the State Executive Committee, which made a. stringent test for all persons desiring to partici- pate in Democratic primaries and con— ventions. He also denies that he has deserted bimetallism. Not Buying “hr-ships Ourselves. London, March 8.—-The St. James’ Gazette Says: “The United States is not buying any war ships as long as she does not feel the need for any out- side reinforcements. It is understood that the efforts of the United States representatives in England are not di- rected toward the purchase of war ships building, but to preventing Spain from purchasing them.” Cnlifcrniis’s Oil Fields.

March 8.——Attorney Scarlett, of counsel for the Common— wealth, yesterday opened the argument ~for the prosecution in the trial .of Sheriff Martin and his deputies; He spoke for about two hours, and com- manded the closest attention of the vast audience. He held that the strik— ers had a. perfect right to march on the public highway, and that Sheriff Martin and his deputies had no right to shoot down and kill them. He said the strikers had committed no act 01' violence, and consequently declined to disperse when the Sheriff read his proclamation. ;, Mr. Scarlett said: “Michael Ceslak and others left their homes the morn- ing of Sept. 10, and in a few hours they were dead. For that day’s happenings you have given your attention 'here these weary weeks. At Lattimer that day these people carried the American flag and“ thought it would protect them. It was not the flag of anarchy. I want this jury to remember that American liberty was not bought’with the blood of Americans alone, but there are as- sociated the names of Sobieski, Kosci- usko and Zalinski. The day may come when the Sheriff may at his judgment take human life, but I hope that day is far off. The Sheriff said that if they went to Lattimer that day they would go over his dead body. Was this to provoke the strikers to violence and thus make excuse for the shooting?” Attorney Scarlett congratulated the jury on the prospect of their speedy release. No jury, he declared, ever sat in judgmnt o1 er so many defendants at one time. Judo T. Lenahan, chief counsel for th edefense, followed Mr. Scarlett. He made a pathetic plea, and told how the prosecution’s alleged crowd’ of 1,000 peaceable strikers were marching about the mining hamlets armed to the teeth, ferocious and armed with deadly weapons, and driving men from their labor. 'He reviewed the case fully and appealed particularly to the jury's love of law and order. When he ended court Was adjourned. This morning Mr. Palmer began the. closing plea for the defense, and Dis- trict Attorney Martin will finish for the Commonwealth. They probably will take all day, and Judge Woodward will deliver his charge to-morrow. KID M’COY CHAMPION. The New Champion of the Ring—Fitzim- moms and Corbett Refused to Meet Him. Indianapolis, Ind., March 8.—As the six weeks’ time which McCoy has al- lowed Fitzsimmons toeither decline or accept his challenge has expired, the Kid has claimed the championship. He will leave the $5,000 forfeit up to fight any man in the world for the title. Although the majority of the sport- ing men laugh at McCoy when'he calls himself the champion, it must be con- ceded, however, that McCoy is perfect- ly right in claiming the title, as he had his money posted for a fight» with Fitz- Simmons, and as the latter has declined to fight him, he is in every way enti- tied to claims; the championship. Fitzsimmons, in the statement which he gave out in Columbus recently, stat- ed that he would fight McCoy at the middle-weight limit, 154 or 158 pounds, after the Kid defeated Maher. is one thing, however, which Fitzsim- mons ought to remember. He is the recognized champion of the world and he must defend-the title against all comers, if the challenger can secure a. big side bet worth his while fighting for. Fitzsimmons has no right to tell Mc- Coy that he must fight Maher, Shar- key or any one else, just because Cor- bett told him to do so, for McCoy is 3willing to fight for $10, 000 a. side, and :unless Fitz consents to fight McCoy, the latter can claim the championship 'of the world—a. thing which~John L. draws from the race for re-election. - 'Sullivan never allowed any fighter to do. McCoy’s next big battle will be with Joe Choynski, which is scheduled for Hot Springs. on April 20. liliss Brewster Granted a New Trial. _ Rutland, Vt., March 8.—The Supreme Court .has sustained the demurrer of Mildred Brewster, who killed Miss Wheeler, near Montpelier, and granted her a new trial. Miss Brwster was jealous of the woman she killed. When . she learned that her victim was dead she put a. bullet into her own head, but survived. She is in prison. Her new trial will begin during the present term of the County Court. The Yellow Fever Germ.

The professor is He says he has proved'that the cause of yel- low fever must enter the system through the mouth, and that infection may be avoided by means of properly sterilized food. .1, Situation Grave in India. Bombay, India, March 8.—-The situa- tion‘ here is grave. There is extreme unrest among the natives, who are in- censd at the plague measures, which wound their religious susceptibilities. In addition, the plague authorities are at loggerheads with the city corpora- tion, which has stopped their supplies of money. Two Fatally Hurt by Dynamite.
