At a meeting of the directors of the Globe Savings Bank of Omaha, Neb., a resolution was passed which provided that the State Banking Board should be requested to take possession of the bank pending arrangements for liquidation and that officers of the bank should be au­ thorized to take all necessary steps toward a speedy liquidation. The deposits amount to $37,00(1. Cadet and Beech Taylor, well known in Illinois, are principal owners of stock. They say depositors will be paid in full. Reports of many people being taken ill Sunday precipitated a panic in the Indian­ apolis, Iud.. police department, and pa­ trolmen were started out on a rush, noti­ fying residents not to use water furnished by the water works company. Physicians say the symptoms resembled, a^id poison­ ing. This is believed to be another result of the turning into the river at Nobles- ville of a small lake of sulphuric acid and refuse from the strawboard works, which killed all the fish. The physicians say this is the beginning of an epidemic which may lead to terrible results. Andrew N. Henderson, a Chicago com­ mission merchant and old member of the Board of Trade, committed suicide in Humboldt Park Tuesday afternoon. While a park policeman stood within a few fftet he shot himself in the left tern'- ceding the election. ot McKiniey on the first ballot has produced something of a sensation in political circles. His trip to Canton was a tacit admission to the same effect, but a public "authorized" tabula­ tion from him giving the Qhio candidate 479 votes on the first ballot "certain," with many known „ McKiniey delegates not^included in the figures, is regarded as peculiarly binding. The Senator's state­ ment, taken In connection with the fact that he announces that his own name and th^ namefc.of the other- favorite sons would be put in .nomination and given complimentary votes is accepted as evi­ dence that he is prepared to turn the solid Pennsylvania delegation over to McKiniey at the proper moment, adding sixty-four to 479 previously conceded. The President Friday sent to the House a message, vetoing the river and harbor bill. He said; There are 4.17 items of appropriation, and every part of the country is represented. It directly ap­ propriates or provides for the immediate expenditure of nearly $14,000,000 in addition to other appropriations amount­ ing to more than $3,000,000. A more startling feature is its authorization of contracts for river and harbor work mounting to more than $02,000,000. Though these payment's are in most cases so distributed, that they are to be met. by future appropriations, more than $3,- 000,000 is included in direct appropria­ tions. Of the remajndpr nearly $20,000,- 000 will fall due during the fiscal year ndinjj.. June 30, 1898. If this bill be­ comes a law, the obligations which will be mposed on the Government, together with the appropriations made for imme- iate expenditure on account of rivers :ind harbors, will amount to about $80,- 000,000. Nor is this all. The bill directs numero«3 surveys ' and examinations, contracts, and which portend largely which contemplate new work and further increased expenditures 'and obligations. There is no ground to hope that, in the face.of persistent and growing demands, the aggregate of appropriations for the smaller schemes, not covered by con­ tracts, will be reduced, or even remain stationary. For the fiscal year ending une 30, 185*8, such appropriations, to­ gether with the installments on contracts hich will fall due In that year, can hardly be less than $30,000,0000, and it may reasonably be apprehended that the prevalent tendency toward increased ex­ penditures of this sort, and the conceal­ ment which postponed payments afford for extravagance, will increase the bur­ dens chargeable to this account in suc­ ceeding years. "GROYER CLEVELAND." Forced to Leave Cuba. John A. Finnigan. the special corre­ spondent of the Watertown. N. Y.. Stand­ ard ,in the Island of Cuba, has been ex­ pelled by Captain General Weyler. Mr. Finnigan had been in Cuba since April. He was twice arrested and sent back to Havana. Last week he left the city con­ trary to the orders of the authorities. On bis return Mr. Finnigan was warned that he must leave by the Saratoga, which sailed Sunday. He was placed under a strong guard, but managed to get a mes­ sage off through a friend. The sentence of Herr von Kotze, who killed Baron Schroeder in a duel grow­ ing out of the Berlin court scandal, has been commuted to one week's imprison­ ment. The village of Krienholz, in the Ber­ nese Oberland, Switzerland, has been iTtiUllv destroyed by landslips and sub­ siding of the ground, caused by springs water. The inhabitants have been compelled to deserf the place, and groat damage has been done to the railroad and farms in the vicinity. One of the" most terrible disasters that ever overtook the common people of Rus- a happened Saturday in Moscow, when ver 1.U0U persons were killed or received njuries from which they afterward died in a panic on Khodijnskoje plain, precipi- ited during festivities in honor of the coronation of the Czar.

Two bodies have been dragged from the Mis­ sissippi's waters. In addition a large number of horses and other animals have been found in the debris along the banks. A number of these horses were fully har­ nessed. and as the storm occurred at a time when the river front was crowded with teams it is thought that a number of the drivers may also have been swept into the stream.

The Senate Wednesday passed the rher and harbor bill over the President's veto by the vote, of 5(5 to 5. This was the last stefcin making the bill effective and it is now a law. The vote was taken after three hours of spirited debate, during which the President was criticised and de­ fended, the remarks at times being di­ rectly and bitterly personal. The opposi­ tion to the veto was expressed by Sena­ tors Vest, Sherman, I'ettigrew, Hawley and Butler, while the veto was defended by vSenators Vilas, Hill and Bate. Adams County, Ohio, boasts the young­ est school teacher in Ohio, if not in the •United States. He is just 11 years old and his name is Marion Glasgow. He at­ tended the teachers' examination at West Union Saturday, attired in knickerbock­ ers, and took his place among the grown applicants.

The heavy duty on the drug and pie, dying almost instantly. A disastrous deal on Friday, which he knew he would be called upon to settle for Tuesday,, was the immediate cause of the act, though he has been despondent over losses for a year or more. His fellow brokers say Mr. Henderson has not dealt heavily since his failure during the panic of 1803. "Lost, Strayed or Stolen," a comedy, with music by J. Cheever Goodwin and Woolson Morse, will have its first pro­ duction on any stage at McYickcr's Chi­ cago theater during the month. The plav is now being rehearsed in New York city, under the stage direction of James C. Duff, of comic opera fame, and the author. The final rehearsals will, however, take place on McVicker's stage. The company will include some of the best known come­ dians to-day on the stage. The produc­ tion will in every way be a magnificent one. The stage settings, four in number, come from the brush of Wnlter Burridge, who is acknowledged to be the best scenic painter in this country, and some novel stage effects are promised in a scenic way. This will be the first production given un­ der the auspices of The American Theat­ rical Syndicate, ef which Mr. Joseph Brooks is general manager. East St. Louis has issued a touching appeal for aid and the committee which prepared the manifesto estimated that 200 persons were killed and that the num­ ber of injured will foot up in the thou­ sands. It is known that a number of per­ sons are still buried in the debris on the southwestern end of the island and in the ruins of the Hallesey Hotel, the Martell House, the Relay Retreat, and the Dur- ant House. Street car traffic, telephone service, and electric lighting facilities are entirely suspended. Men stand mute and aghast at the havoc thut was wrought. All business is virtually suspended. Ev­ ery one agrees that months will fail to re­ veal the extent of the tornado's devasta­ tion in the Illinois town. From the sur­ rounding country thousands of men, wo­ men, and children tlocked into the city to visit the scenes of ruin and death. Ail the London papers have editorials on the terrible disaster at St. Louis and all ex­ press their sympathy with the residents of that city. The Chronicle urges Eng­ land to send some prompt and effective expression of sympathy. "It is quite certain," says the English journal, "that If it had happened in England the suf ferers would not wait long for sympa­ thetic words or if necessary actions from America." There is a lockout at the works of the Illinois Steel Works at Chicago, and near­ ly 1,500 men are thrown out of employ merit thereby/The order closing the entire plant was issued by Superintendent Walk er Tuesday evening, and went into effect an hour later. By 7 o'clock the fires had been drawn from under every furnace and the army of men had slowly filed out of the immense buildings and yards of the company. Every man carried with him a little bundle of clothes and a tin dinner pail. It will be months before eithe/ will be in service again. This march of the men into a period of enforced idleness of unknown length was quiet and orderly Few gathered around the gates to discuss the situation. The events of the last month had prepared the men for almost anything that could happen. The trou bles inside the tight, high board fence marking the boundary line of the com pany's possessions have been so numer ous and complicated the workmen real ized affairs must soon come to an issue Thus, while the issue came suddenly, it was not altogether unexpected. The color line was the direct cause of the lockout although officers of the company do not admit it. They charge it entirely to question of labor. In a riot Monday night several men were seriously shot. WASHINGTON. The House of Representatives has passed the river and harbor bill over tie President's veto by the vote of 220 to 60. The report of the Committee was in the main a business-like defense of the bilL Washington dispatch.; Thet voluntary •tatement put out by Senator Quay con FOREIGN. port pla-ces the number of dead at over 500. Most of these persons were in­ stantly trampled to death, and the spec­ tacle presented when the portion of the plain on which the stampede took place as cleared of the survivors was sicken­ ing in the extreme. The crowd was waiting the signal to dine at tables laid ut of doors and the distribution of pres- uts from the royal house when the dis- ster occurred. The immediate cause of was the pitching into the midst of the dense throng.assembled gifts, for which wild scramble was made. The Czar is given orders that the sum of 1,000 oubles be given to each bereaved family and that the .victims be buried at his ex­ pense. Monday was a day of funerals in Mos­ cow, 1,277 victims of the disaster on Hodynsky Plain being buried. The bodies those who were identified were in­ terred in private graves, but at the ex­ pense of the municipality. The great umber of the unidentified dead were buried in eleven great trenches, each fifty yards long. The trenches were deep, and the mutilated bodies were placed close to­ gether to find room for all. The surviv­ ing friends and relatives are for the most part of the ignorant and simple minded peasant class, and their grief and terror at the sudden calamity'are expressed in demonstrative fashion. Only about half the bodies recovered have been identified, and the majority of these are men, though there are many children and several old people, some 80 years old. Most of the' private graves of the victims have been marked with wooden crosses. The clothes of the victims were heaped in a huge pile in one corner of the cemetery, and in this the people rummaged all day long seeking the slightest trace that would afford a clew to the fate of those missing. It is estimated now that a total of 3,600 per­ sons were killed and 1,200 persons in­ jured, the majority of them fatally, by the disastrous crush. In the afternoon the Czar and Czarina visited the Marie hos­ pital, where they spoke to and consoled the patients injured in Saturday's crush. ROUNDS A CENTURY. . . • . . V . ; TENNESSEE CELEBRATES AD MISSION TO STATEHOOD. Inaugural of the Centennial Expo- - sition Is Also Performed--Imposing Parade at Nashville -- President Thomas Raises a Flag. Centennial Is Celebrated. * The 100th anniversary of Tennessee's admission to the Union as a State was celebrated in Nashville on a most elab­ orate scale. Thousands of visitors from all the cities and towns in the State were in attendance, besides hundreds from va­ rious other ^States, including the Gov­ ernors and State officials. It is estimated that in spite of a heavy rain from 10,000 to 15,000 people took part in the great parade. There were scores of carriages with national, State and municipal dignitaries, attended at the front and rear by bands of music; 3,000 State and Federal Soldiers, including four companies of cavalry, each 100 strong; the officers and assistants..of the centennial, the entire Woman's Board, the Ladies' Hermitage Association, the Tennessee Historical Society, scores of secret orders, traveling men's associations* postoffice employes, trades and labor societies, Con­ federate veterans, 1,000 wheelmen, 2,500 citizens on horseback, scores of organiza­ tions, 2„500 colored people representing the'societies of that race. At the grounds 10,000 children paraded and welcomed the vast pro'cession while cannons roared. There was a proclamation and flag rais­ ing by John W. Thomas, president 'of the exposition, followed by elaborate anni­ versary exercises. The principal address M'as by J. M. Dickinson* who spoke for an hour. He gave an elaborate history of Tennessee, and traced its progress to the present under fhe heads of religion, educa­ tion, patriotism, law and order, Demo­ cratic government, emancipation, the war and recuperation. Exposition to Be Held in 1897. The celebration of Monday and Tues­ day commemorates the centennial of Ten­ nessee's appearance among the States of the Union, but the exposition in memory of the event will not really open until May 1, 1807. It will be the first indus­ trial exposition ever held by any State in commemoration of its birth, and, judging by the work already done and the plans for the future, it will be large enough and beautiful enough to give it a high position among American fairs. For three pnlled his revolver. Allen said he was unarmed, and the two repaired to Hoo- ton's hardware establishment In search for a weapon for Allen. - They were finally separated before any blood was Bhed. , ,j5 Monday morning Riley was on the streets early, and was loud in his claims that he was after Allen. Riley was just coming out of the postoffice room when Allen drove up in his carriage, alighted amPpassed in. After getting his mail he started to leave the postoffice, when Riley accosted him with drawn weapon. Like a flash Allen drew his pistol and the firing began. Riley fired two shots and Allen four. When the smoke cleared away Riley was lying in the postoffice door, and Allen's son, who witnessed the affray from his father's carriage, had received a severe wound in the right side. Allen was arrested. Both men are wealthy and influential. DEATH OF KATE FIELD Brilliant Newspaper Writer Expires in the Hawaiian Islands. . "Kate Field died of pneumonia" was the brief cable message received in Chi­ cago from ex-Minister Thurston announc-. ing the death of perhaps the best-known KATE FIELD. woman connected with American news­ papers. Miss Field went to the Hawaiian Islands several months ago in search of health. Miss Field was born in St. Louis In 1840. She was the daughter of Joseph N.

Nearly 3,000 People Killed and In­ jured at a Banquet--Mad Bush for Free Drinks--Crowd Overpowers the Attendants land a Panic Knsnes. Fatal Crnsh in Moscow. Over 2,000 people, including many per­ sonages of high rank, were trampled to death in Moscow. The catastrophe oc­ curred at a public feast, which had been spread in the Hodynsky Plain, in front of the Petrovsky Palace, in honor of the coronation of the C?ar. The disaster oc­ curred between 5 and G o'clock in the morning. It was intended that the "ban­ quet should commence before noon, but the immense throng which lind gathered around the sheds where the liquor mugs were to be presented and the food' distrib­ uted became so dense that the attendants were overpowered and thrown to the gTound in the mad struggles which com­ menced for food and the gifts, and many of these attendants being numbered among the dead. The police made des­ perate attempts to control the people, but all their efforts were futile, and men, women and children were, trampled upon by hundreds. Some terrible, heartrending scenes were witnessed among the survivors who were seeking relatives among the' victims. The latter were mostly peasants, and few of them have as yet been identified. They were lying in heaps, <is they had been ex­ tricated during the afternoon, their chush- ed, blood-stained'and horribly distorted faces upturned in the scorching sun. Gray- haired' men and women lay alongside chil­ dren and sturdy men,- all crushed as if beneath heavy rollers. Among the dead were ladies evidently of high rank dressed in fine silk and adorned with rich jewels. Cause of the Disaster. The disaster, it is now explained, was due mainly to the absence of the police, who had not arrived at so early an hour in the morning at the scene where the fes­ tivities Wer« scheduled to take place. Fully 200,000 persons of all grades of society had gathered on the Hodynsky plain at the time the disaster occurred. Only 1,000 attendants were in charge, and they seemed to be unable to control the mob. Hoping to lessen the pressure of the as­ sembled hundreds of thousands, all mov­ ing toward a common center, they tossed the packages and presents into the midst of the crowd. This seemingly precipitat­ ed the panic, since a scramble to obtain possession of the gifts ensued, and the hollow piece of ground near the center formed a death trap for thousands. No Halt in Festivities. The following evening the Czar and Czarina attended and danced at the bril­ liant ball at the French embassy. Prep­ arations had been made on a most elab­ orate scale for this ball, and it is asserted that $70,000 was expended on the supper alone, rare viands and delicious fruits and vegetables being brought from the most distant climes to add to the delights of the feast, while France furnished the costliest and most elegant fabrics and furniture to set off the beauties of the pal­ ace where the embassy is lodged. THE CHICAGO ROAD RACE. Won by O. P. Nelson, a Wheelman Practically Unknown. When the Goths and Huns and Vandals swept down upon Rome, bent upon sack­ ing the mistress of the world, they did not come with more terrific fury than the band of 500 wheelmen who swooped down upon Chicago's west park system like a flock of hawks upon a swarnj of nestlings at the wind-up of the annui.l Decoration Day road race. It was a great run over a muddy road of a little less than twenty- five miles in length. Over 100,000 men, years the plans have been under discus­ sion, and work upon the grounds and buildings has been in progress since the latter part of 1805. It is estimated that the entire cost of construction and preparation of the grounds will amount to $1,000,000, to which the salary list and other necessary expenses will add some $500,000 more. Many of the buiftlings are already nearing completion, and the beautifying of the grounds is well under way. WENRY M. TELLER. The Man Who Will Represent Colo­ rado Republicans at St. Louis. Henry M.

TELLER. a statesman who has traveled and has seen a great deal of life in Washington. He was born in New York, Allegheny County, just sixty-six years ago, and be­ fore he had left his native State he was a lawyer. In 1858 he came West and stayed in Illinois for a matter of three years. Then he went further west, and, liking Central City, settled there. Sen­ ator Teller never held any office until Col­ orado was admitted as a State into, the Union. He then was made United States Senator, and took his seat Dec. 4, 1876. President Arthur made him Secretary of the Interior, in which capacity he served until March, 1885. Since that time he lias been twice returned to the Senate. Mr. Teller was always a strong silver man. DUEL IN LEBANON STREETS. 'A'allace Riley Killed by Thomas Allen in n Quarrel Over Their Children.

On account of the difference in the ages of the young people both fathers objected to their marriage, but the couple succeeded in securing a mar­ riage license and were married. Immedi­ ately after the marriage they left for Putnam County, and remained there un­ til a telegram advising thtfm of the tra­ gedy called them home. Riley denounced the elder Allen as helping on the mar­ riage. The men met on the streets Satur­ day afternoon. Riley said: "Defend your­ self! One ftf us is going to die!" Riley Statue of William Henry Harrison Unveiled in Cincinnati. On Decoration Day there was unveiled in Cincinnati an equestrian statue of the ninth President of the United States, William Henry Harrison. The movement/" for this memorial began five years ago with the organization of a Harrison me­ morial ass'ociation, composed of some of the leading citizens of the Queen City. The association secured some funds by subscription, supplemented by a bill in the State Legislature authorizing a tax levy that warranted the expenditure of $25,000. The association was afterward merged into the Harrison statue commis­ sion, which carried the work to comple­ tion after much aggravating delay. The statue as it' stands has cost about $28,- 000, but the extra aniount has been pro­ vided for. The statue is the work of Re- bisso of Cincinnati, who designed the equestrian statue of Gen. Grant at Chi­ cago and the McPherson statue at Wash­ ington. It is in bronze and represents the hero of Tippecanoe in the military ac- STATUE OF WILLIAM H.

Nelson, of the Monitor Cycling Club, was the first man to cross the pat­ riotic ribbon at the finish. He won in 1:12:53. F. B. Murphy, of the North Shore Cycling Club, won the time prize in 1:09:22. B. F. Faulhaber, of the Smalley Cycling Club, a 4:30 man, won second time honors in 1:00:57%. Both Nolson and Murphy are practically un­ known to the cycling world. Nelson was given a handicap of 9:00 and Murphy of 5:00. The race was excellently managed, accidents were comparatively few, and victories and defeats alike were accepted with good grace by all contestants. GLAD OF THE SPLIT. "Reuntar" Prohibition Leaders Pleased with Bolters' Action. The regular and bolting Prohibition conventions at Pittsburg adjourned Fri­ day morning, the latter having nominated Charles E. Bentley, of Nebraska, for President, and J. II. Southgate, of North Carolina, for Vice-President, and adopt­ ed a broad-gauge platform. Members of the bolting faction met at the Central Hotel and arranged for a vigorous campaign. Nearly $2,000 was subscribed to meet the expenses. Mr. Beutley asserted that he would get 100,- 000 votes from the Prohibitionists, and that many of the Western silver men would flock to the new party. The regu­ lars claim that the Prohibition party now consists of straight prohibitionists; that those who think more of the silver ques­ tion and other ideas, and who. have been a disturbing element, have left the party, and they do not regret it. REIGN OF TERROR ON. Appalling Stories of the Butchery by Spanish Soldiers. Havana advices say that at Playa Sa- lada, beyond Bahia Honda, where the rebels had salt works, a -Spanish war ship recently landed a force of marines, who captured and put to death the super­ intendent and iiine workmen, all of whom were surprised, and consequently unarm­ ed. The superintendent's wife aiid two daughters, who lived in a hut on the mountain side near by, were, Cubans as­ sert," bound and carried on board the war ship, where they were assaulted and then killed with machetes and thrown t.o the shark-. SENATE AND HOUSE. WORK OF OUR NATIONAL LAW­ MAKERS. A Vi Week's Proceedings in the Halls of Congress--Important Measures Dli> enssed and Acted Upon--An Impar* tial Resume of the Business. * The National Solons. In the Senate Friday the bills repealing the law relating to rebates on, alcohol, need in the arts, and amending the law concerning the distilling of brandy from, fruits w$re passed. The latter author­ izes the exemption of distillers of brandy- made from fruits from the provisions re­ lating to the manufacture of spirits, ex­ cept as to the tax thereon. The House spent almost the entire day debating the Johnston-Stokes contested election case- from the Seventh South Carolina district. The Republicans were badly divided, Those who favored seating the contest­ ant, Johnston, who ran on a Populist-Re­ publican ticket, finding themselves slight­ ly in the minority when the voting began, inaugurated a filibuster which lasted until the conference report on the naval appro­ priation bill came to the rescue, and the- House recessed before final action was taken. Johnston's partisans were.outvot­ ed--405 to 95, and 103 to 90--the first vote being on the minority resolution declaring Johnston entitled to a scat, the second on the majority resolution declaring him not entitled to it. An effort will be made to reconsider. . • 1 Mr. Cullom of Illinois spoke at consid­ erable length in the. Senate Monday against the pending bill to prohibit the issue of bonds. The President returned to Congress three private pension bills, with his veto in each case. In the case of two of the bills, granting pensions to Mrs. Amanda Woodcock and Jonathan Scott, both originating in the House, he points out that, owing to careless descrip­ tions in the bills, the pensions could not be paid under their terms. In the other, a Senate bill granting a pension to Helen M. Jacob, the President forcibly sets out his objections to allowing pensions to soldiers' widows who remarry. The Pres­ ident says: "There is no duty or obligation due from the Government to a soldier's widow except it be worked out through the deceased soldier. She is pensioned only because he served his country and because through his death she as his wife has lost his support. In other words, she pecomes a beneficiary of the Government because she is a soldier's widow. When she marries again and thus displaces the memory of her soldier husband and snr- renders-all-that beiongs-to-soidier widow­ hood she certainly ought not, on the death of her second husband, be allowed to claim that she is again the soldier's widow." The Senate Tuesday, by a vote of 32 to 25, parsed the Butler bill to prohibit any further issue of bonds without the consent of Congress. The debate was sharp and bitter, but all the amendments were de­ feated and then the final vote taken, on which the bill was passed. The filled- cheese bill was taken up and made the unfinished business. Mr. Allison intro­ duced a joint resolution for a scientific Investigation of the Bering sea seal fish­ eries. At 7 o'clock Mr. Hill moved to adjourn, and as the motion was carried, Mr. Hill exclaimed: "And may God save the country." The House devoted itsefiT to passing the river and harbor bill over the President's veto and to unseating by a vote of 162 to 39 John J. Walsh, the Democratic member from the .Eighth New York district, whose place will be filled by John Murray Mitchell, Republi­ can. Both of these actions were fore­ gone conclusions, so that they excited comparatively little interest, although there was a full house to vote on the river and harbor bill. It was passed by 220 to 60, many more votes than the two- thirds necessary to override a veto, and it was passed without debate, although Mr. Docke'ry (Mo.) protested vehemently that debate had been promised. Thirty-nine Democrats voted to override the presi­ dential objections and twenty-six Repub­ licans stood by Mr. Cleveland'. The Senate Wednesday followed the lead of the House and passed the river and harbor bill over the President's veto by the following vote: Yeas--Republi­ cans: Aldrich, Allison, Burrows, Cannon, Carter, Chandler, Clark, Cullom, Davis, Dubois, Elkins, Gallinger, Gear, Hale, Hansbrough, Hawley, Lodge, McBride, Mitchell (Oregon), Nelson, Perkins, Petti- grew, Piatt, Pritchard, Quay, Sherman, Shoup, Squire, Teller, Warren, YVetmore, Wilson, Wolcott--33; Democrats: Bacon, Berry. Brice, Faulkner, George, Gibson, Gorman, Jones (Arkansas), Lindsay, Mills. Mitchell (Wisconsin), Morgan, Pas­ co, l'ugh, Tillman, Turpie, Vest, Walt­ hall, White--10; Populists: Jones (Ne­ vada), Butler, Peffer, Stewart--4: total, 56. Nays--Democrats: Bate, Chilton, Hill. Smith. Vilas--5. The House began clearing the decks for final adjournment by extending the length of the daily ses­ sions. A partial conference report on the general deficiency bill was agreed to and the bill sent back to further conference. The Murrav-Elliott contested case from the first South Carolina district was de­ bated for four hours. The majority re­ port favors the seating of the contestant, who is a colored man, and who was seated by the Fifty-first House in place of Elliott. Need Not Worry. Dr. Coke, at one time chaplain of Greenwich Hospital, was (according to James Payn) " a churchman of the tawny port wine school." When called in to minister to one of the patients OD his deathbed, and finding him perturb­ ed as to his ghostly welfare, he com­ forted him by saying; "Don't concern yourself about that, my dear fellow, that's my affair."
