Sensation In House. A genuine sensation was caused In the house of representatives by the presentation of charges alleging the cori'ipt use of a fund of Jjnii.iiil'i relative to the sale of the Danish West Indies. These charges which were presented by Mr. Richardson, the Dem ocratic leader, were contained lu an alleged si.ciet report of Captain Wal ter Christmas to the Danish govern ment, which declared that he had em ployed con apt means to bring the ne gotiations for the sale of the Islands to a consiimniatio'j. The report, ex tracts fu m which idr. Richardson read, mentioned the names of Aimer McKinley and his partner, Colonel Iirown; C. W. Knox, who was do scribed as "an intimate friend of Senator Uanna"; Richard P. Evans who Is said to represent "Mr. Gardner and his friends In the house." and two press us.-uclntiotis, the names of which were m t given, as having been in terested in the matter. The t lunges ngninst members of congress were not spec lflc. The speaker appointed the Mlowlug Investigating committee: Messrs, Dal zell (Hep.. Pa.); Hitt (Ucp. III.); Cous ins (Rep. la.); McCall (Rep. Mass.); Riiharclson (Dem. Tenn.); Dinsmoro (Dem. Ark.), and Cowherd (Dem. Mo.) Forty People Injured In a Church. A fierce wind storm struck the city of Pittsburg Sunday Just be fore mum and did almost incalculable damage to pre perty and injured niuny people, seme of whuin may die from the effects of their wounds. Scores of houses were unroofed, many trees blown down, mill stacks toppled over and telegraph and telephone wires generally disabled. The most serious accident reported was the tinrc-oling of the Knoxvillc Presbyterian chinch In Knoxville. The church at the time was filled with an Easter congicgutlon numbering about (li'ii persons. While the minister was in the midst of his sermon, a strong gust of wind blew over the large chimney and lilted a portion of the roof of the building. The bricks from the chimney crashed through the roof and carried a huge piece of the hard wood celling measuring about 40x20 feet down upon the worshippers in the pews. An Indescribable panic ensued and a frantic rush was made for the doors and windows. The excitement was soon quieted and the work of rescue began. At least 40 persons were caught by the wreckage and more or less hurt. Convention of Republican Editors. The ninth animal convention of the Republican Editorial association of the state of New York will be held at the Fifth Avenue hotel in New York, Thursday, April 3. Over a hundred editors of interior newspapers will at tend and will be welcomed at the ho tel by a reception committee compris ing Isolds Stern, Hon. Cornelius N. Illiss, ex-Governor Frank S. Wack, Austin 11. Fletcher, Frank II. Piatt, William Herri. Enelwig Nissen. John A. Slelc her and John W. Vroonian. Frederick P. Hall of the James-town Journal, the president of the asso ciation, will preside over the busine ss session and in the evening, on the in vitation of I.ouis Stern, the editors will attend a banquet at the Republi can club, of which Mr. Stern Is presi dent. President Roosevelt. Governor Odell, Mayor Low, Senators Piatt and Depcw. Lieutenant Governor Woodruff and other party leaders, are among those who have been invited and several of them are on the list of aftcrdlnner speakers. Capture of Insurgents. General Noriiil. the only itisun-ent I general with the possible cxcppM-.m of Malvar, still In the field, hn i hevn i captured by Lieutenant Frank E. I'a.n lord of tho Twenty-eighth infantry. A major, captain, lieutenant aa. five mtin who were acting as a body guard to Noriel were captured with him. They have all been held as pris oners of iar. There Is some reason to believe that one member of this bodyguard is General Malvar In dis guise. Lieutenant Damford is certain that If this general Is not one of tho captured party he Is in the Immediate neighborhood of the scene of Muriel's capture. Norlel has been one of the recognized leaders of the insurrection since IS!)!). He was captured on his way to the coast while endeavoring to escape. Ho admits that tho Insurrec tion, as such, Is over and says that tho few remaining leaders are fleeing, as they do not command enough men to warrant surrenders commensurate with their rank. Germany Will Not Commit Itself. There is high authority for saying that (he government of the United State s has been sounding Germany as to how far the latter country would go toward maintaining the "open door" lu Cliica. This Inquiry, which was initiated prior to tho trip of Admiral Prince Henry of Prussia to the United States, was to learn for the guidance of Wash ington whether in any event Germany would tako a resolute stand for equal trade opiiortunlties. This inquiry re sulted In obtaining from the very head of the German empire the impression that Germany, while willing to take an identical attitude with the other powers for the "open door," would not lu n final instance oppose something that Russia really desired. This Is the first principle of Ger many's exterior policy, and it applies fully to the East Asian question. To Be Devoted to Education. The London Daily Mail says that it Is in a position to assert that Cecil Rhodes left tho bulk of his for tune, outside of some personal and family bequests, tothe promotion of his vast Imperial plan of education. This project embraces every land where the Union Jack Hies. Its purpose Is the intellectual betterment of the Uritlsh race throughout the world and the fostering of the imperial senti ment. The Daily Mall adds that' this Idea of better fitting "younger Britain" to cope sticcesssiully with rival nation alities, was long a dominant scheme wilh Cecil Rhodes, but that even his closest friends little imagined the ab sorbing hold It obtained upon him un til this was disclosed by the terms of his will. The details of this plan of education will be made public in a few days. Meat Prices High, Cereals Lower. Aggressive strength in prices is chiefly manifested by hog products, which it Is declared, have been manip ulated by packers. A more reason able explanation, however, is that the high prices for beef and mutton have largely diverted consumption to hog products. The leading cereals are Irregularly lower after an apparently futile ef fort at bulling prices. Last week's de cline brought In considerable export business in wheat and some revival was reported even in corn. Steady buying and talk of a squeeze In corn were reflected sympathetically In wheat.

Ilefore the villain could accomplish his purpose, however, he was fright ened away by a boy crossing the bridge.

Patrick, lawyer has been convicted of murdering the elderly millionaire recluse, William Marsh Rice, on Sept. 23. 1900. The penalty, under the statute, Is death in the electric chair.

The Issue of the trial establishes the charge that Patrick conspired with Rice's valet, Charles F. Jones, to obtain posses sion of the Texan's estate estimated at $7,000,000 and that Jones killed his employer by the administration of chloroform at the direct instigation of Patrick.

Tne Committee's Bill on Cuban Reciprocity. Mr. Payne Explains the Depressed Condition of the Cuban Sugar In dustry Planters and Business Men on Verge of Bankruptcy Says Con cession Will Not Hurt Uncle Sam. Washington, April 1. Chairman Payne presented to the house the re port of the ways and means commit tee on the Cuban reciprocity bill, which the committee earlier In the day had ordered reported. After reciting President Roosevelt's recommendations in behalf of Cuba, Mr. Payne says: "Our relations to Cuba are peculiar. In our declaration of war with Spain, and ever since, we have solemnly pro claimed to the world that our object was to give to Cuba a stable and Inde pendent government. We have lab ored for more than three years to ac complish that result and In this en deavor we have spared no expense. During the years of preparation wo have given her an example of the benefit of law and good order, of clean liness and of the preservation of the public health and of good government generally. She has organized her gov ernment under a constitution and is now ready to launch forth among the nations of the earth In the month of May." Mr. Tayne explains the depressed condition of the Cuban sugar industry as due to the world's over production of sugar, and says: "This condition threatened grave disaster to this, the principal Industrial product of Cuba. It is true that labor in Cuba Is and has for the past three months been fully employed at fair wages, that there has been no distress, but a trust worthy writer and American not In terested In sugar and a careful obser ver, says tinder the date of March 2oth: "While the masses of Cuba are not actually suffering from lack of food, the planters and business men are on the verge of collapse and ban? ruptcy, and are anxiously hoping for concessions in the United Slates tar iff In order that they may receive new life and hope. The merchants have large sums of money trusted out and are not paying each other. They are simply holding each other up in the hope of obtaining relief and if failures once begin they will run like wild fire." "This threatened financial distress comes at the very time we are about to set the Cuban government up in business on Its own account. We have performed the part of a guardian up to the present moment, and are about to send the ward forth Into the world, we can not afford to take the risk of her failure if a little timely aid will Insure success." The report adds that we are bound to care for our own people, but after reviewing the American sugar situa tion says: "It can work no Injury to onr In dustry if we make this small reduc tion on Cuban sugars. The enactment of this bill will not affect the protec tion of the sugar producers of the United States. There Is no reason able pretense that the same reduction on other Cuban products will injure any other American Industry." TTie report asserts that the planter and not the refineries will receive the benefits of the reduction and adds: "Cuba does not come simply as a mendicant, nor should she be treated as such. She offers a good trade In return. This she is willing to concede?. Under the provisions of the bill, wo should be able to double the amount of our export trade with Cuba, which amounts to $28,000,000, nice than Miat we obtained In the fiscal year." In conclusion the report says: "It Is a ha py clrrumstmo that with" out any injury to our Industries and without the loss of anything except seven or eight million dollars of rev enue, which we do not need, we are able to extend this relief to Cuba and at the same time get reciprocal trade relations with her. "Aside from the exceptional case that Cuba presents the action of .he committee is In entire accord with the reciprocity doctrine of the Repub lican platform and the declarations of President McKinley and President Roosevelt. It Involves no proposed re vision of the tariff or anything not fntlrely In harmony with the mainten ance of the protective system." MEETING OF OPPOSITION. It Is Said That 30 Republicans Will Speak and Vote Against the Bill. Washington, April 1. Following the action of the ways and means com mittee on the Cuban reciprocity bill the Republican members who oppose the bill held a conference In the com mittee room of Representative W A. Smith of Michigan. About 30 mem bers were present, representing the various states Interested In beet sugar production. No formal action was taken, but the discussion was along the line of con tinuing the contest on the floor of the house. It is expected though that the opposition will be from members Individually rather than from a com pact and organized opposition. After the meeting It was said by those' pres ent that about 30 Republicans won!.! speak and vote against the bill. Tho ways and means leaders feci confident that the bill will pass, prob ably by Republican votes. In any event there is said to be more than sufficient Democratic support or the bill to offstt the Republican de fection. DELAY IN PEACft NtlGOTIATIO.-yS. OU'iculty of Comrrur-c.-'ing With Mr. Steyn and Gc-:c.r.l Co'.vet. The Ha.;ue, April 1.- Mr. Km Tor, Dr. Leyels and the Doer delegates in Em ope are expected t; !u 1 i an import ant meeting at Utrecht, April 2, to tonsider the situation in view of Act ing President Scbalk-liiirger's peace move. Well Informed people here sny Gen eral Schalk-Bnrger was cv'dcrtly in fluenced by the receipt of the news of the result of the iJ itc h note to Crcat Dritain on the si.-bject of peace In South Africa and other dispatches sent him from here. It is known that his communication with President Steyn and General Des wct. which have liei ete.l'ore l i en easily carried on, were interrupted by the recent Dritish movements, anil as tt was necessary to communicate with Mr. Steyn and Geneial Dewet before any peace proposition could be formu lated. General St hull; Hurger had to apply to I ord Kite-hr .-tier for a safe conduct. Considerable surprise Is expressed here at Sch.ilk-Duiger's delay in get ting in touch with Dinvet ami lt is thought ihat something unusual must be behind it. But even if the Orange Free State and Transvaal officials agreed to p-pce tor:.:-- i! would be nec essary for both renublies to e all a gen eral meeting of the commanders mid submit tho proposals to the burirhers before they could be submitted to Lord Kitchener.
