in Background.
HOUSE WILL REPORT FRIDAY
Morgan Prepared With Much Argu
ment on Panama, but Is Expected
to Wait Until the New Canal
Treaty Is Sent to Senate.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 15. It Is the. in
tention of theSenate leaders to confine
ns closely as possible the legislation of the
present oxtra session to the bill to carry
into effect the Cuban treaty, and "with
that end In view the dally sessions of the
Senate during the rest of the week will be
brief, and another adjournment will be
taken on Thursday or Friday until the fol
lowing Monday.
The work of Introducing bills and of
presenting petitions will go forward, but,
with the exception of the Cuban bills,
neither bills nor petitions will be taken up
In committee, nor for discussion in the
Senate during the week.
It Is quite well understood that Senator
Morgan Is prepared for a prolonged dis
cussion of the situation on the Isthmus
of Panama, but while he seems not to
have taken any one Into his confidence,
the general supposition Is that he will
"defer his speeches until the new canal
treaty jnhall be sent to the Senate. There
Is an understanding on the part of the
Senator that even though the negotiations
of the convention be forthwith completed,
it will not be transmitted to the Senate
until the beginning of the regular cession
of Congress In December.
It is expected that the Cuban bill will
be received from the House on Friday,
and It Is probable that a session will bo
held on that day In order that the bill may
be referred to the committee on foreign
relations, which will begin its considera
tion at once.
Tho committee on military affairs will
meet during the week to consider the nom
ination of General Wopd, and as soon as
practicable after the committee reports on
it the question of confirmation will be
brought before the Senate In executive
session.
Senator Hanna, who Is chairman of the
Republican committee on organization of
the Senate committees, expresses the opin
ion that the organization w ill be completed
by tho close of the week.
Other Sohators say it will be impossible
to complete the work until the following
week. "

vote at 4 P. M., Thursday, without Inter
vening motion. On the adoption of the
rule, the House will go Into committee of
the whole, and discussion of the Cuban bill
wijl be begun.
The programme of the minority is well
defined by the resolution adopted at the
Democratic caucus last night. A rule cut
ting off amendments will be opposed, in
order that an amendment may be offered
striking out the differential on refined su
gar and eliminating the five-year clause.
The resolution made It the sense of1 the
caucus that the Democratic members
should vote for the bill, either "upon the
adoption or rejection of the amendment.'

assistant in the postal investigation, and
Inspector Williams are in charge of the
stamp investigation. They have not only
gone through the records of the depart--xnent,
but have examined a number of
persons In the department and In the Bu
reau of Engraving and Printing, which
prints the stamps, and have questioned
philatelists, including a prominent dealer
In this city, with a view to ascertaining
the Identity of persons who have sold
stamps to the dealers in those articles.
It has been the practice of the office for
a number of years to distribute among
department officials and other prominent
persons "specimen" stamps, distinctly
marked, so as to prevent their use as
postage, as an official courtesy, and It Is
known that a large number of these
stamps have found their way into the
hands of the dealers.
The Inspectors are endeavoring to find
out who sold them to the dealers. The in
vestigation may be concluded this week.

Party Support Conciliation Policy.
LIMERICK, Ireland, Nov. 15. Address
ing a Nationalist demonstration, here to
daj John Redmond, the leader of the
Irish party in the House of Commons and
"president or the United Irish League, said
that had he known of the intention of
William O'Brien to resign from participa
tion in the work of the party, he would
have besought him not to put his inten
tion into effect.
Mr. Redmond said he hoped that the
coming meeting of the Irish Parliamen
tary party and of the directory of the
United Irish League would be successful
in inducing Mr. O'Brien to reconsider his
decision. The majority of the Irish party,
the speaker said, supported Mr. O'Brien's
policy of conciliation in the administra
tion or the British Government's Irish
Land Act, but the irreconcilable section
of the landlords were trying to counteract
that policy.

Quarreled on the Street and Words
Led to the Killing Shooter Tells
a Story of Assault by
Four Men.
ST. JOSEPH, Mo., Nov. 15. Irving Mc
Donald, a. young business man, and
wealthy, was shot and killed today by J.
P. Furlong, a traveling man, whose home
Is given by him as at 2332 Howard street,
St. Louis.
Furlong says his act was in self-defense,
as ho was assaulted by four men, and
shot only when he believed his life to be
in danger. When'arrested, he had a 38-cal-lber
revolver in his pocket; one chamber
was empty.
In company with Mrs. Lester Myrick
and Grace Holt, of "The Governor's Son"
company, and several other friends, Fur
long and McDonald went to an Edinona
street cafe after the performance of "The
Governor's Son." They are said to havo
been drinking freely, although, so far as
any of those supposed to be acquainted
with the facts In the case will admit, there
was no quarrel while the. party remained
at the cafe".
Shortly after 5 o'clock the party left the
dafe, walked down. Felix street to Third
ftreet and turned north on Third street,
"when Third and Francis streets was
reached, according to the police, words
passed between the two, and Furlong drew
a'revolver.
Placing the weapon almost against Mc
Donald's stomach. Furlong hesitated a
moment. McDonald dared him to flre, and
Furlong pulled the trigger.

DESPERATE PRISONERS ESCAPE
Swing to Roof of Ohio Penitentiary
and Climb Over Wall.
COLUMBUS, O., Nov. 13. Four desper
ate prisoners escaped from the Ohio pen
itentiary shortly after dark this evening
by crawling over the wall. They were:
J. F. Ryan, alias John Gallagher, serving
ten years for burglary and larceny from
Loralne County; Thomas Gallagher, alias
John Casey, serving 15 years from Loralne
for burglary; Frank Hayden, seven years
for burglary, of Cuyahoga County, and A.
L. Wood, ten years for burglary, of Meigs
County.
In some mysterious manner these men
got out of their cells about tho time the
day and night guards were changing
places. Plans for the escape had been
carefully laid, and In tho brief interval In
which tho change was made the quartet
had climbed to the top range of cells and
swung out on the roof. This would be a
hazardous undertaking for a steeple-climber
in daylight, and how the prisoners ac
complished the feat in the dark is a mys
tery to the prison officials.
After reaching the roof the men made a
ladder out of bed quilts which they
brought with them and climbed down to
the prison wall. This they quickly scaled
with the feld of their improvised, ladder.
No trace of the escaped convicts had been
secured up to a late hour tonight.
Fear of Dynamite Outrage.
DES MOINES, Nov. 15. Unusual ac
tivity in the secret service department of
the Rock Island gave rise to the report
this afternoon that the long-expected at
tack of the train robbers who had threat
ened to use dynamite unless 510,000 was
forthcoming was to come tonight.
Efforts to confirm this report from the
officials of the company were futile. It
was learned, however, that it had been
discovered that a large quantity of dyna
mite had been stolen from coal mines at
Angus, 20 miles oft the main line, In the
vicinity of the place where the holdup
was anticipated.
Precautions against therobbers have
been increased since receiving tho second
warning, but there has been no other in
dication, so far as can be learned, that
the dynamiters have not abandoned their
plans.

NEW YORK. Nov. 15. William S. Zelg

should bo brought against me. I have
nothing to say now; in fact, can say noth
