James Hamilton Lewis of Washing ton Takes a Hand. Washington, Jan. 18. The immi gration bill passed the senate by a vote of forty-live to twenty-eight. The bill, as passed, proyides that all immigrants physically capable and over 1G years of aie shall be able to read or write the English language or some other language; but a person not able to read nr write, who is over 50 years of ago and is a parent of a qual ified immigrant over 21 years of age, capable of supporting such parent or grand. parent, may accompany the immigrant or a parent or grand parent may be sent for and come to join the family of a child or grand-child over 21 years of age who qualltied under the law, and a wife or minor child not able to read or write may join husband or parent. Ttie act aocs not apply to persons coming to the United States from the lMana or uuoa during tne continu ance of the present disorders there, who have heretofore been inhabitants of that island. During the debate In the house on the army appropriation bill, James Hamilton Lewls.of Washington state, made a vigorous speech against any Increase of the army. He created something of an innovation by taking his position In the area in front of the house, face to face, as to a congrega tion. He charged that the courts wero In control of the corporations of the country and constituted the mailed hand of power behind the constitu tion, but if the army was increased the people would, he said, be justified In asking whether It was not to be used to barracade courts and break down everything that means freedom of government. He differed, he said, from Brvan. whose cause he had fol lowed. He was not willing to sub-t ocriha to the Idea tuat ireo suver was the single end to be sought for. There was a necessity, he said, for a return to that true Democracy, which had for its end the freedom of the individ ual as anindiuidual. The house election committee No. 2, lias set the contested election case from the first Oregon district, W. S, Vanderburg, vs T. n. Tongue, for today. In the supremo court, Justice nar lan handed down an opinion in the case of A. noward Ritter, executor bf William Runk, ys the Mutual Life Insurance Company, of New York, involving the question whether in the case of a man who commits sui cide, when not of sound mind, his heirs can recover on the insurance policy. The court held that they could not. It appeared from the facts that KunK, arosiaentor .t'niiaaeipnia.com mitted suicide within less than a year after securing his insurance to the extent of $200,000, making an aggre gate Insurance of $500,000 on his life Of the $200,000, the New York com pany carried $75,000, which is refused to pay on the ground that Runk was sane when he took his life. It was shown in the trial court that he had written a letter the day osrore ins death, stating that it was his purpose to put an end to his life and that the insurance money could be collected for the payment of his debts. Slaughters His Family. Nnw Youk, Jan. 18. John Mat thews, a retail grocer, some time be tween last Saturday night and yester day morning, murdered Ins wife and their two chlidred, a boy 10 years old and a girl of 12 years, by chopping them to death with a hatchet. Mat thews then committed suicide by shooting himself. The crime was committed In a smiili bedroom In the rear of the store knnt, liv Matthews. The tranedy was discovered by the milkman. On the Uoorol the sleeping room the clllcer who was summoned, found the corpse of Matthews. In his hand was a re volver and there was a bullet hole in his head. There are two beds in the room. On one.of these lay Mrs.Mattb ews, whose head was chopped and mangled almost beyond recognition, On the other bed lay the twocllldrcn, side by side. Their faces, too, were frightfully cut and hacked. That the murder and suicide were premeditated was evident. Matthews waited until his wife and children were asleep, stripped himself and taking his hatchet in his hands brained his wile, lie men auacKea the children. From letters it was as certained that for 6ome days the man had contemplated taking his own life. He had been in the dry goods business and failed A few months ago lie opened u grocery store and met with little success. From the letter found It wasevldeuthecontemplated suicide. From a letter left by Sirs. Matthews to a friend, it was .gathered that she was a party to the suicide agreement. Mrs. Matthews left Instructions as to the clothes In which the dead chil dren should bo burrled and signified thpnliice of interment of the entire family as Highland, N. Y Matthews was 30 years oia. Florida Tiagedy. Fensacola, Fla., Jan. 18. One of the most horrible tragedies that has ever occurred in this vicinity was brought to light today. Last Fri day night Herbett Seclcy and Alice Uuro, of Warrington, attended a party at Mill view, and were among the gayest of nil the guests. Dancing was kept up until after midnight, and about 2 o'clock the young couple left in a buggy to return home. Miss Curo arid her escort did not appear at Warrington Saturday, but no alarm was felt by her family, as it was supposed that (she had re mained oyer witn a rciauyc, who re sides near Mill view. k' A searching party was organized and near a bridge atfew miles from Millvlcw, the horse attached to the vehicle was found tied to a treo. A few yards further Uway, In a clump of trees, the bodies of the two young peo ple were found dead' The young lady had been killed by a pistol ball, which entered her head, and the young man had been killed by a bullet, which had shattered his skull. After viewing the bodies and sur roundings, the coroticr's jury were convinced that the young man had assaulted the young lady, and then killed her, and subsequently com mitted suicide. It Is said they were engaged to be married, and so far as known there was no opposition to the marriage. Both weie well connected. To Succeed Qorman. Annapolis, Jan. IS. The Mary land general assembly will begin at noon to ballot for United States sen ator to succeed Hon. A. P. Qorman, whose speclt.l term expires in March, 189S. That a Republican will bo chosen Is reasonably certain, as that party has a majority in both branches of the assembly, but who tho lucky man will bo is a matter or the great est possible uncertalnity. The leading candidates at this time are Judge Louis E. McComas, of Washington county; Major Alexan der Shaw, of Baltimore; General Thomas J. Sirock, of Baltimore, and ex-Congressman John Flndlay, of Baltimore. The republicans have 40 votes In the house and 18 In the senate, but 11 of these are not In haimony with their party, and this fact more than any other casta doubts upon the final outcome of the struggle.

MILLS SIT DOWN, Strike ofNew England Cot ton Mill Operation. SEVERAL THOUSAND MEN OUT. Mule Spinners Take the Led in the Striket Boston, Jan. 17. Eighty thousand skilled operatives employed in about 70 of the chief cotton mills of tho New England states will come under tho sweeping order of a new wage bcalc, which entails a reduction of 10 per cent more. This reduction brings on, In New. Bedford, Muss., and Lcwiston and Biddeford, Nc., labor strikes which may prove the bkginniug of a battle greater in extent and more disastrous in effects than any In the previous History or cotton manufacturing in the United States. Tho btrlkeswlll be directed by the labor unions, the lead bolng taken by mule spinners' union, the national executive com in It tee of which has sanctioned the strikes and promised iinanclal aid. The light between employer and em ploye In the New England cotton mills Is on, and what it will lead up to cannot be foretold. The great cor porations in New Bedford are silent, and thousands of operators are Idle, while here and there discontent has cropped out all day, the most serious being at Biddeford, Me., when 3200 persons refused to work, thus closing two mills, and at Lowlston, where one mill was crippled by 300 weaver stay ing out. The general wage reduction is estimated to effect 127,000 persons in about 150 mills. Tonight finds the textile operatives everywhere intently intercstea In the New Bedford strike, for there tho real strength and endurance will come, and upon the outcome will depend the question of an Industrial battle tl e entire length and breath of tho New England states. The chief point in this will be discipline. From the point of view of' the mill owner the New Bedford situation is now a board of arbitration this week io hardly likely to bo allowed, and no overt act on the part of the strikers and no attempt to open a mill Is ex pected for a number of days. Tho New Bedford strikers will re ceive strike money from operatives elsewhere, but the sum total will bo reserved until a protracted battle bring on want and hardship, which the unions will then try to relieve. All the New Bedford mills opened at the usual time, When noon came the lights went out, speed stopped, overseers and second hands prepared to make everything snug, and mill gates were closed indefinitely. Tho labor unions did little work today ex cept to carry out plans of campaign which will be developed only as faint hearted weavers seek to return to work. Of tho other strickers, little has been develoned In them as yet to fore cast tho future. All of the employes of the Laconia and Pepperell mill works In Biddeford struck because they were anxious to, while the weav ers alone In the Androscoggin mill simply took matters" Into their own hands, regardless of other depart ments. These two, strike, with identical issues, will serve only ns minor Mights along the line, unless tho strike ieycr grows anu tney oe conie tho neucleus of a general fight In Malneclties. One other minor fight now is at Burlington, Vt., whero tho Queen City mills shut down indefinitely be cause tho operatives refused-point-blank to accept tho reduction. The trouble, however, began a number of days ago, but reached the acute stagn today. Taking today's events through out, it may bo said that things came to pass Just as expected. It is the Immediate future which awakens ap prehensions. Not One Is Running. New Bedford, Mass., Jan. 18. A shut down, tho most complete in tho history of the cotton mills of New Bedrold, began this morning Not a spindle was turning nor u loom In motion In the fuctorles of cloth cor porations an hour after tho usual time of beginning work. Between 40 and 50 operatives went into tne uris tol mill and 25 or 30 Into the Whit man, but, aside from these, no mill made any show of running, and thebc two shut down. Nino corporations, operating 18 mills in which upwards of 0000 hands are employed, are Involved In tho strike. The cut Is uniform all oyer the city. IQporcent. Jail Delivery.
