WANDERING ON THE STREETS
Wife of Appraiser of Customs, Neve
York, Found- In Sou Francisco.
SAN FRANCISQO. Jan. 16. Mrs. Hen
rietta Hoyrell, wife of S. R. Howell,
ex-Assistant Secretary of the United
States Treasury Department, but now Ap
praiser of customs for the Port of New
York, with offices in Chicago and other
commercial centers, waa found wandering
on the streets an an early hour this morn
ing: by the police in a state of mental col
lapse. Her identity was unknown at the
time. The fact that she was well dressed
and had about $9000' worth of diamonds,
money and valuable papers, led to the In
stitution of a rapid search for her friends,
resulting in her identification. Assistant
United 6tates District Attorney Banning,
an old friend of Mrs. Howell, hearing of
her plight, applied for and was granted
epecial guardianship papers. He then
removed her to a private sanitarium,
where she will remain pending prepara
tions for sending her to her home in
Chicago. Secretary of the Treasury Ly
man Gage, who is a friend of Mrs. Howell,
was advlted by wire of her condition in
order that he might Inform her husband,
whose address was unknown here.
Mrs. Howell's mental collapse is due
mainly to financial troubles which have
developed out of her mining enterprises
inhls state. "When her husband lost his
fortune some years ago she sought to
retrieve it in mining ventures in this
state, and in the effort she is said to have
been assisted by Secretary Gage. She Is
at present Interested In the Bollth mine,
near Angel's Camp, and a property at
Poker Bar. at is though -that Mrs. How
ell's heaM.n will be fully restored through
rest and careful nursing.
TEXAS' OIL EXCITEMENT.
Even the Courts of Beaumont
Sua-
pend Business.
BEAUMONT. Tex., Jan. 16. The excite
ment here over the big oil well increases
with each hour. There Is no Indication
that the flow of oil from the geyser is
diminishing, nor is there any change in
the character of the fluid. Captain Lucas
upon whose land the well is located, is
making preparations for an attempt to
stop the immense flow. The town con
tinues to fill up and the streets suggest
a great holiday event. The lumber In
dustry is forgotten in the wild rush for
oil lands. The business of the court in
the middle of the session has been dis
continued, and the court is idle. Throngs
of people frequent the streets until late at
night, and everything is in the oil. The
Standard OH Company has scores of rep
resentatives on the scene. The city prop
erty wlih the oil prospects has increased
fivefold in value. George T. Craig, of the
Craig Oil Company, Toledo, O., estimates
the wellls output at 3000 to 5000 barrels a
day. He says the excitement exceeds
anything? ho has ever seen. The Califor
nia oil Held has several representatives
here, and several other fields are repre
sented. The City Council today granted a
franchise of the streets for a gas and
oil pipe company for the purpose of
transferring oil and gas.

NEW COLORADO SENATOR.
Patterson Says He Will Co-operate
With the Democrats.
DENVER, Jan. 16. The two houses
of the Legislature met In joint session
at noon today to canvass the vote for
United States Senator as cast yesterday.
It appeared that Thomas M. Patterson
ha-d a majority In each house, and he
was formally declared elected. The total
vote was 99, of which Mr. Patterson re
ceived 91 and Edward O. Wolcott 8.
Senator-elect Patterson was escorted to
the platform, and made a speech. He
was frequently interrupted by applause,
and when he announced that he would
unite with the Democrats in the Senate
the applause was vociferous. Mr. Patter
son's speech was devoted largely to the
evils of the trust. In reference to this
he said:
"True prosperity is not found where a
trust may quadruple its capital stock in a
day and double Its dividends on this wat
ered capitalization, while at the same
time its labor wears out its life tolling 12
hours a day over the poisonous fumes of
a smelter furnace or In the poison-laden
dust of a reduction mill."
Of the financial question he said:
"I do not and cannot believe that the
struggle for blmetallsm is over, nor can
I conceive that we may not look for the
ultimate) triumph of blmetallsm. The
opening of the countries of the Orient to
European and American trade, the addi
tion of 500,000.000 people living in silver
using countries, depending on American
products; the Inconvenience and danger
that constantly besot trade upon a broken
and constantly varying price of exchange,
the Inherent justice and wisdom of the
double standard for money, combine to
give me confidence in the ultimate tri
umph of the bimetallic cause."
POTTER'S VIGILANTES.
Committee of SOOO to Be Organised
In New Yorlc.
NEW YORK, Jan. 16. If the present
plans of Bishop Potter are carried to a
successful culmination, he will have es
tablished in a few days a vigilance com
mittee numbering 5000 persons, pledged
and sworn to learn of and correct existing
evils in this city. Those who will com
pose the vigilance committee, it Is ex
pected, will be gathered from all ranks.
It is well known that Bishop Potter has
personally felt that too little attention
has been given to the fact that labor or
ganizations as united bodies and working
men as Individuals have enlisted to as
sist in the reformation of the city's evils.
In the vigilance committee now organiz
ing there will be hundreds of laboring
men. who, better than any one else, know
of the overrunning of immorality in the
far East and West Side tenements, where
the homes of honest worklngmen are
found. Bishop Potter said lost night:
"No man is better qualified to take up
the work of purification than he who tolls
to support his wife and children. It was
in a realization of the value of the man
representing labor that when I was asked
for my advice about the formation of the
committee of 15 I said: 'At all events, let
there be at least two representatives of
labor on the committee.' "
Coal Famine In Denver.
DENVER, Jan. 16. The coal miners'

dition of affairs in Denver and other por
tions of the state. Three hundred men

2600. The northern fields are entirely
closed, as are the principal producers of
the Fremont and El Paso Counties. Ef
forts are now being made to bring out the

HAZF.R3 DENOUNCED
Senators Call Them Brutal
Ruffians.
DECLARE THEY SHOULD BE SHOT
The Senate Reached nn Agreement
to Take a Flnnl Vote on the Army
Reorganization Bill Friday
. Afternoon.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 16. A final vote
upon the pending Army reorganization bill
will be taken by the Senate at 4 o'clock
Friday, under the terms of an agreement
reached late today. Speeches in oppo
sition to the bill were delivered today by
Allen, Teller and Butler. McCumber made
an argument In support of the measure.
The feature of the Senate was the denun
ciation of the practice of hazing at the
West Point Military Academy. Allen,
Money and McCumber declared It to be
an evidence of brutality and cowardice,
the Mississippi Senator saying that a
cadet whom others attempted to haze
would be justified in killing his assailant.
He declared that If he were a cadet upon
whom such cowardly brutality were at
tempted, he would kill those who assault
ed him, if he had to wait 100 years for
the opportunity.
At the opening of the session Galllnger
reported the pension appropriation bill,
and it wignt to the calendar.
A joint resolution relating to leaves of
absence granted officers of the Army,
providing that the time consumed in
travel by officers between the Philippines,
Cuba, Porto Rico and the United States
shall not be included In the leave granted,
was passed.
Consideration of the Army reorganiza
tion bill was then resumed. Teller moved
to strike out that paragraph of the bill
which empowered the President to place
on the retired list any officer who has
been suspended from duty by sentence of
court-martial or executive order in mitiga
tion of sach sentence. It was agreed to.
Teller said paragraph 8 applied to Major
Joseph H. Wham, whose record he dwelt
upon as a splendid one, filled with acts
of gallantry. He read a number of rec
ommedations from people regarding Ma
jor Wham's appointment as Paymaster
General, and said this recommendation
seemed to have brought on Major Wham
an infamous persecution.
Carter asked for a final vote on the bill
at 4 o'clock this afternoon. Allen said
that, for the time being, he would object,
although he might withdraw his objec
tion. Allen then entered upon an extended
discussion of the pending measure, declar
ing his opposition to it in any form in J
which it might be presented. He de-
clared it was wrong in its purposes and
radically wrong Constitutionally. Advert
ing to the Philippine question, which ho
said he had no purpose to discuss, he said:
"The Filipinos never owed allegiance
to the United States, and do not today.
They owe allegiance only to their own
Island government, however weak and
puny it may be. They are not rebels,
though they may be insurgents. I am
opposed to this bill, because Its avowed
purpose is to provide soldiers to be sent
to the Philipoines."
Discussing the presentation a few days
ago of a petition of 2006 Filipinos to the
Senate, Allen urged that tne signers of
the appeal simply were exercising their
right to appeal to Congress, yet he said
the petition was denounced by Hawley as
treason. "The flippancy with which the
term treason is being used, these days,"
said Allen, "is getting to be a stench in
the- nostrils of some of us."
In the course of his remarks, Allen dis
cussed vigorously the situation at West
Point as brought out by the pending In
vestigation. He declared that brutality
had been developed at West Point which
ought not to be expected to exist among
barbarians.
"This thing called hazing prize fight
ing," exclaimed Allen; "why, the prize
fighter la a gentleman compared with
some of those young ruffians at West
Point. Indeed, a life has been lost re
cently." After a brief review of the Booz case,
Allen declared that the first thing a
fourth class man meets at West Point Is,
brutal assault and humiliating indigni
ties. "And these things," shouted Allen, "take
place with the knowledge of tho officers
of the institution. These new cadets are
compelled to eat soap, they are compelled
to get down on their knees and jump like
a frog, and they are compelled to endure
other indignities which I would not dare
in this presence to mention. Some of the
regular Army officers say hazing cannot
be helped that it -cannot be prevented.
You place one of the old volunteer officers
at the head of that institution, and in six
weeks he will put a stop to it, or there
will be some dead cadets there. This
brutal outrage ought to be suppressed,
and it can be suppressed. Boy or man,
he who will use his superior strength in
humiliating or brutally treating a weaker
person is a coward. And yet this bill
encourages and supports West Point as at
present conducted.
"With authority I would stop that bru
tality at West Point," declared Allen, "or
I would dismantle the school and turn
over to tho various states the education
of the youth of the country for military
purposes. I have information which
leads mo to believe that nazlng at West
Point is resorted to for the purpose of
forcing out of the institution cadets ap
pointed from civil life In order to make
room for the sons of Army officers. And
If they cannot force out the cadet by hu
miliation and intimidation, they prescribe
a course of examination, which is In their
own hands, and which they could not pass
themselves, and thus force the prescribed
cadet from the school."
Money declared that the hazing never
was warranted, and that he knew of some
cadets who had been nazed to the point
of danger. "They were hazed to a de
gree," said Money, with deep feeling,
"that would have warranted the hazee
in killing the hazers."
"They ought to havo been kHIed?' inter
jected Allen.
"And I want to say," continued Money,
"that if I were a cadet at West Point
and was hazed in so cowardly and brutal
a manner, I would kill the hazer if the
opportunity did not come for 100 years
afterward."
Continuing his discussion on hazing the
cadets at West Point, he said:
"These cadets carry hazing to the ex
tent of taking life, and In one Instance
recently they have taken life, and the
Senator from Mississippi (Money) says
they have taken life in several instances."
McCumber argued in support of the
pending- bill. Incidentally he vigorously
handled the practice of hazing at West
Point.
"That practice," said he, "creates the
worst character of brutality and the
worst character of cowardice."
Discussing the situation In the Philip
pines, Teller declared tnat conditions in
the island have not improved since the
United States had attacked Spain there.
Intelligent observers, Teller asserted, had
pronounced the Filipinos- as fit to govern
themselves as any other Oriental race.
In conclusion Teller saldjv
"I am not in favor of giving up the
islands. I want to hold them because I
think that would be better for the Fili
pinos, and that the islands will be valu
able to pass. If, however, we can hold
them only by force there is no consider
ation, financial, commercial or any other,
that will Justify us in retaining them."
Hawley secured unanimous consent that
a final vote should be taken on the bill
at 4 o'clock. Friday.
The Senate .then, at 5 o'clock, went
into executive session, and at 5:50 P. M.
adjourned.
Ther friends of the Army .reorganization
bill met little' or no antagonism when
they undertook to secure an agreement to
vote upon the bill Frlday.r"They first ap
proached Settlgrew, and, finding that he
had no further opposition to make, en
listed his r-ftorts in behalf of their move
ment. Tho only condition made by any
one of the opponents was that certain
comparatively small amendments suggest
ed by the committee should be with
drawn. The committee was obliged to
agree. Pettlgrew, in speaking of the ar
rangements said that the Army bill had
been Under discussion for 13 days, and
that, as the opponents of the bill In its
present form never had any desire to de
feat it, and as they felt that if there was
not to be an extra session of Congress, it
would be necessary Boon to begin consid
eration of the appropriation bills, they
had consented to fix a time for a vote.

ADVISED OF THE SIGNING.
Conger Says Nothing About the Dif
ficulty Over the Seals.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 16. The State De
partment has been advised of the formal
signing by the Chinese plenipotentiaries
of the Pekln agreement, but so far it
knows nothing officially of the difficulties
which arose In connection with the affix
ing of the seals. Mr. Conger's failure to
make any reference to this matter Is
taken here to mean that he does not re
gard It as involving any serious difficulty,
an opinion substantiated by the latest
Pokln advices to the effect that the form
alities have actually been completed. The
next step probibly will be a reconvening
of the ministerial council at Pekln, and it
is probable the gathering will be attended
by the Chinese representatives, so that
tho proceedings will from this point on
follow closely on the line of the usual
form of peace negotiations.
Hay' Proposal Was Favored.
NEW YORK, Jan. 16. A dispatch to
the Herald from Pekln says:
The news that the proposition made by
Secretary Hay to transfer to a commis
sion part of the negotiations had not been
accepted by. the other powers caused dis
appointment and pessimistic criticisms
among the Legations, and nearly every
where the end of existing conditions is
desired. Japan's objection is notoriously
frivolous, because Sir Robert Hart, who
is charged with matters under the com
mercial" treaties pertaining to indemni
ties, would represent China in the con
ference. Rockhlll Needed at Home.
NEW YORK. Jan. 16. A special to the
Herald from Washington says:
W. W. Rockhlll, Special Commissioner
from the United States to China, has
been recalled. Mr. Rockhill's withdraw
al Is due to the desire of the Administra
tion to have him In Washington, where
he will be able to advise the President
and Secretary Hay on the Eastern prob
lem. He will leave Pekln for the United
States as soon as navigation opens.
Single-Headed Police Commission.

sion. Alvord Gets Thirteen Years.

PASSED BY HOUSE
River and Harbor Bill Now
Goes to Senate.
CUSHMAN AGAIN DEFEATED
nig Attempt to Prevent the Comple
tion of the Measure Resulted In
a Vote of 185 to 2 Against
Him.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 16. The river and
harbor appropriation bill was passed to
day by the House. The bill has been un-
THE LATE EX-GOVERNOR MOUNT, O F INDIANA.
tier consideration for over a week, and
has been assailed from many quarters,
but its friends have stood solidly by it
and defeated many amendments. The bill
passed practically as It came from the
committee. It carries slightly less than
$60,000,000, of which $23,000,000 Is In direct
appropriations.
Before proceeding with the bill, Hull
(Rep. la.), chairman of the committee on
military affairs, reported back the De Ar
mond resolution calling upon the War
Department for all information relative
to the alleged action of General Chaffee
In protesting against the looting In China,
with the recommendation that It lie on
the table. Accompanying the report, Hull
submitted the following letter from the
Secretary of War:
"The subject to which this resolution re
lates is so Intimately connected with the
diplomatic relations and negotiations con
cerning the critical and delicate conditions
now existing In China that I think It
would be very inadvisable to attempt any
public statement or Invite public discus
sion upon any branch Jof the subject at
this time. The time doubtless will come
when the whole subject will be a proper
matter for a report, but that time clearly
has not yet come. An answer to the reso
lution would requlreme to call upon Gen
eral Chaffee for a detailed report, and It
Is probable no answer could be received
before the end of the present session of
Congress."
De Armond (Dem. Mo.), the author of
the resolution, said that he had been
moved to Introduce It because of a para
graph In the newspapers which was very
creditable to General Chaffee, in which
It was recited that he had rebuked or pro
tested against the conduct of an officer
of . foreign government in regard to the
looting in China. The paragraph Indicated
that neither the American commander nor
the American soldiers were responsible
for the barbarity and dishonesty which
had taken place In that unhappy country.
He had desired only to procure official
confirmation of the report, but the rea
sons given by the Secretary of War for not
pressing the resolution were entirely sat
isfactory to him. The resolution was then
laid upon the table, and the House went
Into committee of the whole and resumed
consideration of the river and harbor bill.
Hepburn (Rep. la.) proposed" an amend
ment to the paragraph appropriating $300,
000 for the Missouri River to permit the
Secretary of War, in his discretion, to
use such portion of the appropriation as
he might deem proper in maintaining the
stability of the banks of the river.
Dougherty (Dem. Mo.) also offered an
amendment on the same subject, and aft
er some debate. Burton (Rep. O.), chair
man of the harbor and river committee,
offered a substitute for the latter to per
mit the owners of property or municipali
ties abutting on the river to build dykes
or wing dams, providing such construc
tions do not Interfere with the proper
navigation of the river, and are approved
by the engineer In charge. Burton's sub
stitute was adopted and the Hepburn
amendment lost.
Chairman Burton offered a substitute
for section 4, which was adopted. It au
thorizes the President to invite Great
Britain to join in an International com
mission, composed of three members from
each country, to report from time to time
upon the conditions and uses of the wa
ters adjacent to the boundary line be
tween tho United States and Canada, In
cluding all the waters of the lakes and
rivers whose waters flow by the St. Law
rence to the Atlantic Ocean; also upon
the maintenance and regulation of suita
ble levees, and upon the effect "upon the
shores of the waters and upon the In
terests of navigation by reason of their
diversion from their natural flow, and to
report upon the measures to regulate such
diversions and to enter Into such agree
ments and make such recommendations as
shall best subserve the interests of navi
gation. It also authorizes the President
to appoint tho United States members of
the commission, and authorizes them to
employ experts, etc.
An amendment was added to include in
the provision for preliminary examina
tions Humboldt Bay, Cat. northern and
southern ends.
Cushman (Rep. Wash.) offered an
amendment to appropriate $100,000 for con
tinuing the Improvement between Puget
Sound and Lakes Union and Washington.
It was l03t. Upon completion of the bill,
Cushman attempted to prevent the com
mittee from rising and reporting the bill
to the House, but he was overwhelmed,
the vote standing 1S5 to 2. The commit
tee accordingly rose. Cushman moved to
recommit the bill. He demanded the ayes
and noes, but was supported by only four
members.
" This motion being lost, Sulzer (Dem. N.
Y.) demanded the ayes and noes on the
passage of the bill. Only 13 members
backed the demand, and the bill was
passed without division.
The Senate concurrent resolution to pay
the expenses of the Inauguration of the
President and Vice-President, which was
recommitted yesterday, was amended so
as to conform to the Instructions of the
House to provide for a joint committee of
the House and" Senate, under whose au
spices the inauguration ceremonies should
take place, and was adopted.
Then, at 5:15, the House adjourned.
