CASUALTIES OF THE FOURTH Pleasure Seekers Were the Vict'ms. Accident Occurred on Mountain side —Three Detectives Man gled in Another V*reck. On an electric railroad near Glovors ville, New York state, Friday, was a collision between two ears crowded with passengers by which fifteen per rons were killed and twenty-nine n j tired. 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 turning hum - from the grounds. At 10:30 p. in., at a distance of about two and a half miles north of Glovers villu thet was a collision between two cars, one bound north and one bound south. Asa result fifteen persons were killed outright and twenty-nine injured t\- latter more or less seriously. 15*- iug a general holiday there were many httwftie.es men among those on the cars. The Mountain Lake railway tracks I followed tiie side* of a mountain, the 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 1* ft. the rails and th dead and wound ed were hurled together in an inox trieablo mas.-. At 2:30 o'clock Saturday morning ten bodies, mangled beyond recogni tion, were removed to Gloversville. Among tin' victims there were more women titan men. Three Detectives Mangled.

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, hanging effigies and other criminal 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 ing anybody in effigy SSOO reward will !i" paid. At strike headquarters it is claimed that the offering of such re wards will cause irresponsible detec tives to arrest innocent people in the hope of securing rewards. Galveston- Invites Roosevelt.

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. HOW ABOUT THIS? For Twenty-Four Hours Snow Fall3 in . State of Wyoming.

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 . PRESIDENT LAYS CORNER-STONE. Dedicates Foundation of New Dutch j Reformed Church in Washington. “We here lay the corner stone of a i house to be erected under the name of Grace Memorial Reformed church, and t obe devoted to the worship of Al mighty God. In the name of the Fath- ] er. and of the Son, and cf the Holy Ghost.
