CASUALTIES OF THE FOURTH
Pleasure Seekers Were the Vict'ms.
Accident Occurred on Mountain

gled in Another V*reck.
On an electric railroad near Glovors
ville, New York state, Friday, was a

For a distance of four miles north
of Gloversville the Mountain Lake rai -
way, an electric road, connects G!ov
ersvilio with a popular place of resort,
or picnic ground. As it was the Fourth
of July the place was crowded with
pleasure seekers.
The cars were filled with people- re

10:30 p. in., at a distance of about
two and a half miles north of Glovers

grade being about 1,000 feet in lour
mi>s. Coming down the incline the
motornian of ono car carrying about
seventy people lost control of the ear.
which in a short distance acquired
a frightful velocity. Then it met a car
ascending the mountain, and also car
rying about seventy passengers. The
impact was teeriiic, but for a few mo
ments neither car left the track, the
ascent of the one being overcome by
the rush of the other, and for a dis
tance of mvi rai hundred feet they
v.-ent on down the incline. Then they

BAILEY PUGNACIOUS
Texan Chikas Senator Beveridge
* oi Indiana.
ANOTHER ROW IN THE SENATE
aeveridge Used Words that Lacerated
Feelings of Texas Senator and
Refused to Retract o-n
Demand.
A Washingto special says: The
fioor of the senate chamber was the
scene, shortly after adjournment Mon
day, of a sensational personal encoun
ter between Senator Bailey, of Texas,
and Senator Beveridge, of Indiana.
Senator Bailey had his hands at Sena
tor Beveridge’s throat and was en
deavoring to choke him when other
senators and senate officials pulled the
two men apart. Senator Beveridge
made no effort to defend himself.
Senator 'Bailey, exasperated at, the
failure of the Indiana senator to re
train. what he considered a personal in
sult, endeavored to get at him to slap
his face, but. was prevented by Sena
tors Spooner and McComas and As
sistant Sergeant-at-Arms Layton.
For the present, at least, the inci
dent is closed.
The encounter was the outcome of
a verbal tilt indulged in by the two
senators during the afternoon, during
which the Indianian made a statement
which the Texan said was offensive to
him, and which he requested to be
withdrawn. Beveridge at the time de
clined to withdraw his remarks, and
persisted in this course after the close
of the session, when Mr. Bailey went
to him to talk the master over. It
was then that the trouble occurred.
The matter which was under discus
sion when the two senators engaged in
the controversy was Senator Bailey's
resolution introduced some days ago
directing tho secretary of war to trans
mit to the senate ad the papers in the
case of Scottt against Beilenberg.
Scott, it will be remembered, is a citi
zen of Texas who claimts that lie was
unjustly treated by Beilenberg, who
at one time was United States consul
at. Matamoras, Mexico. Speaking in
favor of his resolution, Mr. Bailey im
proved the occasion to severely "criti
cise Ambassador Powell Clayton and
officials of the state department, in
cluding Solicitor Penfield.
Penfield was appointed at the in
stance of the two Indiana senators and
is a personal friend of Mr. Beveridge.
The latter characterized the Texan’s
criticism as "an unwarranted attack”
on Penfield, and it was this statement,
and particularly the manner in which
: t and subsequ at. remarks were made,
that Senator Bailey considered offen
sive. Senator Bailey had declared
that the treatment of ilie Scott ease
by the state department officials show
ed either ignorance or lack of integrity.
Senator Beveridge in defending
Judge Penfield, went out of his way to
impugn Senator Bailey’s motives.
AFTER UNRULY STRIKERS.
Citizens of Wilkesbarre Offer Large
Rewards for Wrong-Doers.
The Citizens’ Alliance of Wt'kes
barre. Pa., offers rewards aggregating
$3,000 for the arrest and conviction e£
all persons engaged in boycotting,

acts of American freedom. A reward
of SI,OOO is offered for the arrest and
conviction of any one who enters into
a conspiracy to boycott any individ
ua . firms or corporation. For hang

claimed that the offering of such re
wards will cause irresponsible detec
tives to arrest innocent people in the
hope of securing rewards.

CONGRESS ADJOURNS
Lively Tones at Closing Sessions
of Belli Houses.
SPEAKER JOINS IN SONG “DIXIE”
Debate Occupied Time of Senators Up
to the Last Moment—Finale
Was Cairn and Serene,
However.
Amid a scene of enthusiasm that has
not been paralleled since the exciting
and stirring days of the Spanish war.
Speaker Henderson, at 5:30 Tuesday
afternoon, doclaied the house of rep
resentatives adjourned without day.
In so doing he said that no house of
representatives since the adoption oi
the constitution had done as much
work as this one.
The audience to which he mada his
brief address was a brilliant one. The
gaieties were banked to the doors
and almost two-thirds of tiie members
were in their seats on the floor. The
speaker’s appreciative werds to the
members thanking them for their co
operation during the session had
touched a responsive chord and they
gave him a remarkable demonstration
of their friendship and good will.
While the cheering a-nd applause
were still in progress the members on
the floor began singing “My Country,
’Tis of Thee.” It was taken up by the
correspondents in the press gallery
over the speaker’s chair, and by the
spectators in the surrounding galleries,
and soon the vast hall was ringing
with the swelling chorus. Other patri
otic airs followed as the members ex
changed farewells, “The Star Span
gled Banner” alternating with “Dixie.”
The speaker came down from his ros
trum, his appearance on the floor be
ing greeted with "For He’s a Jolly
Good Fellow,” and a perfect rush of
members to £i*aap his hand.
Henderson Sings "Dixie.”
Standing in front of the clerk’s
desk, he, too, joined in the songs and
there was a wild scene when General
Hooker, of Mississippi, the one-armed
confederate veteran, took his place by
the side of the speaker, and together
they gang "Dixie.” Mr. Candler, a Mis
sissippi democrat, jumped upon a dr.sk
and let out a yell of jubilation that
fairly shook the rafters. For almost a
half hour the jubilation continued. All
this time the spectators remained
standing in the galleries, watching the
animated scene below, and joining in
the singing.
The adjournment came at the end
of a seven and one-half hours’ session
during which much minor business
was transacted. In all. seventy bills
and resolutions were passed.
Last Hours in Seriate.
After a session marked by some of
the stormiest debates ever heard in
the American congress, the senate also
adjourned sine die at 5:30 Tuesday
afternoon.
During the last hours of the session
there was a tart debate on the Philip
pines question, participated in by
Messrs. Carmack, of Tennessee;
Spooner, of Wiseontin; Culborson, of
Texas; McComas. of Maryland, and
Lodge, of Massachusetts. The confer
ence report on the Philippine govern
ment bill was adopted without very
serious opposition, and when the decks
of the senate were cleared for aiijourn
nient, Mr. Carmack called up his reso
lution providing for a continuance of
the investigation of the Philippine
committee during the present summer.
This started the trouble, and for more
than an hour a battle of words was
waged. The resolution was referred to
a committee, thus effectually killing it.
Just before adjournment, the usual
resolutions were adopted, including
one offered by Mr. Cockrell, the vener
able democrat of Missouri, cordially
thanking President Pro Tern. Frye for
“the dignified, impartial and courteous
manner in which he had presided over
the deliberations of the senate.” After
the adoption of the resolution. Mr.
Frye delivered a feeling response and
then declared the senate adjourned
without day.
GREAT DAMAGE BY STORM.
Loss Estimated at a Million Dollars
In Vicinity of Alton. 111.
A low estimate placed on the dam
age wrought within a radius of 150
miles of Alton, 111., by the Storm of
wind and rain that prevailed last Sat
urday night and Sunday is $1,000,000.
While the farmers are the heaviest
losers, the railroads also suffered se
verely.
Railroad traffic in the bottom lands
was completely shut off temporarily.
Reports received Monday morning
from the Piazza creek district say
that the farmeis lost their entire crop
of wheat.

NOT A BILL WAS VETOED.
President Was on Hard zt Close cf
Congress and Signed All Meas
ures With Good Grace.
There was a large pile of bills placed
before the president Tuesday after
noon when he and his cabinet repaired
to the capitol to assist in winding up
the first session of the fifty-seventh
congress.
President Roosevelt was in a sign
ing mood, for he approved every meas
ure placed before him. There were no
vetoes; not even a'pocket veto to mar
the closing proceedings. A general
feeling of satisfaction prevailed on ail
sides, and even the president was
noticeably cordial in liis greetings to
the “boxer” senators who killed his
pet measure, Cuban reciprocity.
In summing up the results of the
session and its effect on the- political
situation, republicans and democrats
differ widely, but both are equally con
fident their respective parties have
been materially benefited by the work
of the session.
Republican leaders like Hanna,
Lodge, Spooner, Dolliver and Hender
son declared that the republican party
has accomplished its work in a manner
which will give universal satisfaction
throughout the country, and have a
good effect on the election returns
next fall. They insist that the voters
of the country have no complaint to
make at the failure of -the republicans
to do something in the direction of
tariff reduction, anti-tiust legislation
and reciprocity during the session just .
closed. They also deny that there is
anything in the nature of strained re
lations between the president and his
party friends in congress by reason of
the failure of Cuban reciprocity.
On the other hand. Senators Jones,
of Arkansas; Bailey. Carmack. Cock
rell and Teller claim that the demo
crats have an opportunity to profit by ;
the misdeeds of their* political oppo- ■!■
nents. The republicans promised
something in the way of tariff reduc- !
tions and anti-trust legislation. They
have smothered both of these great j
subjects, are uncertain and indefinite
on the Philippine question, and they
are practically in open war with their
president on the subject of Cuban re
ciprocity. In addition it is claimed by
the democrats that they have piled up >
appropriations aggregating over a bil
lion dollars, which fact wi.l make good
campaign material.
The president arrived at the capitol
at 4:10 p. m., and went directly to the j
president’s room in the senate wing.
After a visit to the room, which he j
had occupied for a very short time in '
the spring of 1901, when he was vice
president, the president returned to
his room and signed the bills which .
had lately been passed, among those j
of importance being the Philippine j
government bill and the naval appro
priation bill.
The Philippine bill was presented to
the president by Senator Lodge, who
had been closely following its course
through the various legislative chan
nels. Secretaries Hay, Shaw, Moody, j
Hitchcock and Wilson and Postmaster j
General Payne were with the pros!- ’
dent. During a short executive ses- 1
sion, one cf the senators undertook co
take Mr. Payne inside under the belief |
that a member of the cabinet was enti
tled to be present, but th© postmaster
general was escorted out again and in
formed that, while the president was j
entitled to enter the executive ses- j
sions, the privileges did not extend to !
his cabinet.
Shortly after congress adjourned, j
the president, accompanied by Secre- :
tary Cortelyou, left the capitol .
