WASHINGTON NEWS
The Immigration Bill Has
Passed.
THE ARMY APPROPRIATION BILL.
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,

parent may be sent for and come to

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

thpnliice of interment of the entire
family as Highland, N. Y Matthews

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
