Dover, Del., March 6.—The status of the Delaware legislature was uiulei consideration by the judges of thq state courts, who will decide the corn stitutionality of the act of the mi» nority in adjourning the assembly for more than one day. The const i tution does not authorize a minority to adjourn either branch of the as sembly except froi» day today. The legislature adjourned Monday after the election of two United States sen-, a tors, to meet the following day. On Tuesday, however, a majority of tha members went to Washington to sea the new senators sworn in. As only n few legislators were present at Tuesday's session Jienresentative Holcornli adjourned the house until Thursday. Legal authorities say that net was unconstitutional anil has rendered the house non-existent. Wilmington, Del., March o.—Five of the supreme court judges met here Thursday to consider the legality of the action of the minority of the Del aware legislature in adjourning the session of the house from Tuesday until yesterday. Their decision, an nounced last nip-lit, was that as the state constitution gives a minority the rig-lit only to adjourn the assem bly from day today, there was no adjournment of tlie body fin Tues day, the legislature technically re maining in session until legally ad journed yesterday by the majority. NAMES FOR WARSHIPS. Five State* are to be lleineiiibered In Christening Now Battleship*. Wash gton, March 6. —Secretary Moody yesterday reached a decision as to the stat-es after which the five -battleships provided for in the new naval law »hall be named. The three 16,000-ton battleships are to be named Vermont, Kansas and Minnesota, and the two I.'!, 000-ton vessels and Idaho. Tlie secretary in his next annual report expects to discuss the subject of the names to be given new battle ships. He is anxious that the names of such historic, vessels as the Cum berland, the Merriniae and the Con stitution shall be perpetuated and he will recommend that congress pro vide for this in the next naval law. Under the present law it is stipula ted that all battleships shall be named after the states of the Union. That no time is to be lost in the construction of the new ships is evi dent from the action of the secretary in directing the general board to pre pare the plans for the 16,000-ton ships, which are to be of the Connec ticut and Tennessee class. As there are no 13,000-ton ships on the naval lists it will take longer to prepare the plans for the Mississippi and Idaho. A KENTUCKY TRAGEDY. A Farmer Shoot* III* Daughter und Another M'oinuii and Suleidc*. Henderson, Ky., March 6. —Allan Melton, a well-to-do farmer, who on Wednesday night fatally wounded his daughter and shot Mrs. John Culver, committed suicide in a barn when he found the building surrounded by bloodhounds which had been sent in pursuit of him. Melton went to the home of John Culver, where his step daughter, Mary Melton, 16 years old, was spending the night. Culver was away from the house. Melton en tered, and seeing his daughter, drew a revolver and fired two shots. Mrs. Culver ran into the room and Melton tired, the ball passing- through her lungs. Melton went to the home of Dock Latta, two miles away, where he remained all night. Early in the morning he went home and bloodhounds trailed him to a barn. When he heard them coming, he swallowed a large amount of paris green awl then shot himself through the head. It is said he. tried to hang his divorced wife and it is believed he returnod to Union to kill his wife. A PERILOUS TRIP. Two Sciential* and a Ladf Climb to file Top or the Koulrlere Volcano.

Washington, March 5, —The Fifty seventh congress expired Wednesday by limitation. In many respects the closing- scenes were similar to those at. the end of every congress. But there lias not been in many years such a demonstration in the house ns occurred yesterday owing to the fact that Speaker Henderson was re tiring, not only as presiding otHcer, but from the house as a member. The bitter partisan feeling that has sprung- up in the house of representa tives during tlie past week reached a pitch which prevented the speaker from receiving the unanimous approv al of the ihouse when tjic usual reso lution of thanks was offered. The usual resolution of thanks to President Pro Tem Frye was unani mously adopted in the senate. Washington, March 6. —In obedi ence to the president's proclamation the senate of the Fifty-eighth con grass convened in extraordinary ses sion yesterday. An immense crowd witnessed the ceremony. The se-na torg who were re-elected and those wwio were taking their seats for tTie first time, with the exception of Mr. Gorman, who had seen long s'erviee in the senate, were sworn in. Friends of the senators loaded down their desks with beautiful floral tributes. One of the features of the opening ceremony was the ovation accorded Mr. Gorman. President Roosevelt yesterday sent the following message to the senate: "I have called the senate in extraor dinary session to consider the treaties concerning which it proved impossible to take action during the session of congress just ended. 1 ask your special attention to the treaty with Colombia securing to the United States the right to build an isthmian canal, and to the treaty with Cuba for securing a measure of commercial reciprocity between the two coun tries. The great importance of these two treaties to the welfare of the United States and the urgent need for their adoption requires me to impose upon you the inconvenience of meeting at this time."

Pittsburg', March 7.—One of the. most sensational moves made by the American Window Glass Company was inaugurated yesterday when the executive commit te of the corpora tion issued a formal notice to its workmen that after a lapse of seven days and on March 14, all of the fac tories of the American Widow Glass Company will close for the season, ir respective of what other companies will do. The moment, the factories are closed, the company has arranged that a large force of men will be put to work to equip them with the new glass blowing machines which will do the work of the skilled labor by ma chines and remove from the glass factory the highest priced skilled la bor known in the country. It will give the company glass production at less than one-third of the cost un der the hand labor. President James .V. Chambers, of the American Window Glass Compa ny, in discussing the latest action of his corporation, said the blowing ma chines would be installed in all of the company's plants as rapidly as possible. The shut down, however, will be for considerable time. The action of the American Win dow Glass Company in closing its factories and Installing its machines is said to be its answer to the inde pendents who have refused to come to any agreement concerning a uni form closing of plants this spring. To make more emphatic the statements of the big corporation, it was stated that a charter had been applied for under the laws of New Jersey for the incorporation of the American Window Glass Machine Company, which is to be controlled by the di rectors and officers of the glass com pany and which will own all of the patents and manufacture all of the machines for making window glass that now exist. All former lists have been with drawn by the American Company and it Is now believed that a cut in rates will be made. ADVANCE FOR MINERS. SII 111 111 nr.V of llie Finding* of llie Coal Strike Commission. New York, March 7. —The Herald prints the following as a summary of the findings of the coal strike commission appointed t>y President Roosevelt, which it is expected will be.handed to the president within a week. There will undoubtedly be at least a to per cerit. advance in the pay for mining, to take effect from the time Hitj mliieis reiuinea in ww.h i.. . <» — tober. The per diem employes will not have their wages increased, but will be recommended for the same pay for a day of nine hours. The system of pay will be regula ted. Wherever practicable, the oper ators will be required to pay by weight, instead of by the car, and elsewhere by the lineal yard. There will be indirect recognition of the union. The caus»js» of the strike as found by the commission will not be com forting to the coal mining companies. The boycott will be condemned, and the principle will be laid down that a miner lias a right to work without molestation, even though he does not belong to the union. The terms of the verdict are to hold good for three years and recom mendations are to l>e made for set tlements of wage and other questions at the end of that period. In local disputes the operators will be ad vised to treat with committees of the miners. YORKE'S REPORT. Tli« Fngllaltman Found Jluth to In ternal Him In the Conatructlou of American Kallroada. London, March 7. —The report of Col. A. H. Yorke (chief inspecting of ficer of the Hoard of Railways, a de partment of the board of trade), who recently investigated American rail roading in behalf of the board of trade, was issued last, eveising iu a Blue Book. Col. Yorke found nnuch to interest him in the practical con st ruction of American railroads but decided that comparatively little <>f it was available for English use, chiefly because the expense of a change would nullify its advantages. The colonel thinks Great Britain must adopt a more economical freight oar, but he does not believe it w!*l be advisable t< copy the Amer ican designs. Me approves decidedly the American system of examination fur promotion in the railroad service 4in<l Rays that in this respect the American railroads are ahead of the Hritish companies. Tn conclusion the colonel pays a tribute lo the uniform courtesies, in cluding those received from I'reei dent Roosevelt and the facilities ex tended to him and expresses the hope that he will be able to return to America and traverse tin* entire 1 ni ted States in his work of in\estiga tlon.

Dun <& Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade says: Further development in the move ment of freight and fuel makes the general situation more favorable. Permits fur building' operations show large gains over last year's figures, giving additional strength to lumber and other materials. Prices of com modities scarcely altered in* the ag gregate during February. Foreign trade continues very heavy. Spinners are growing conservative Tn regard to accepting contracts call ing for distant deliveries of cotton goods, owing to the extreme uncer tainty as to what the raw material will cost. Export trade is slow. Print cloths are higher. Fine cotton fa brics for the spring of 1904 are opened, although only a limited busi ness has been done. Dealings are small in woolens and worsteds, but mills are fully occupied. The spring clothing trade is satisfactory, espe cially in staple lines. New Lines of fancy worsted goods have not sold freely, and opening prices are main tained with difficulty. A firmer tone is reported in the dress goods divis ion. Footwear has lost nothing in strength, but somewhat in activity as buyers arc placing orders cautiously.

It I* Ki'lirri'tl that the Murderer ol Iturdlek Will Never be <'au<;lit. Buffalo, March 7. —Thnt the mur derer of Edwin L. Burdick will never be brought to pustice is becoming a general belief. During the last 30 hours of hard work on the mysteri ous tragedy not an iota of informa tion of sufficient importance to be termed evidence has been unearthed by the police. The one woman who has been under strong suspicion and who has beeome known as the"po lice suspect" is believed to be guilt less so far as the crime is concerned by some of the officials of the police department and the district attor ney's office, and they are convinced that all efforts to fasten the crime upon her will be unavailing. Early this morning the police are at work on a new clue In the Burdick murder mystery. They have found a hackman who drove a young wo man to the corner of Ashland avenue and Summer street, near the hour of the murder. She carried a satchel and walked toward the Burdick house. The police are investigating some of the women who worked in Burdick's factory. mrlilsaii Republicans. Detroit, March 7. —Judge Frank A.
