‘Made by Silly American Girls Denounced in Congress, SOILED NOBILITY RAPPED —_— | Congressman McGavin Handles Sub{‘ ject of International Marriages ‘ with Gloves Off and Evokes 1 Laughter and Applause. A Washington special says: Interna. tional marriages of American heiresses to titled foreigners were denounced on 1 tbe floor of the house of representa tives Tuesday by Mr. McGavin of Ilinois, who spoke on the bill of his eolleague, Mr, Sabath, to tax all dow ries and titled husbands. Mr. McGavin's remarks were made under the license of general debate, At times they provoked laughter and ap plause on both sides of the cham ber. The house, he said, was in commit tee of the whole on the state of the umion, but he wanted to know what the state of the union was, and what it was coming to “in view of these in ternational uniong between American heoiresses and alleged nobles from abroad.” He wondered what the «sarly ploneers would think and say if from their graves they could look back amd see s 0 many of the women of this eountry~ “sacrificing their souls and honor upon the altar of snobbery and viee.” He expressly stated that he had no reference to any particular American girl, nor has he prejudice against all titled men, but he referred ‘“only to those who have a monocle on their eyes and an idiotic look upon their faces—those who have not the dispo #ition to do good mnor the ability to 4te harm.” Mr. McGavin said his curiosity had been aroused to know the right com mwittee to which the bill should have .gone, but he had found that it prop <rly had gone to the committee on ways and means, because it sought to Jevy a tax.” And then, he said, he was -curious to know whether the present “tariff schedule included dukes, earls, Jords and ecounts. “Finding that these things were no where mentioned, I thought it might be proper for the customs officials 1o classify them, like frogs’ legs, as ‘poultry, for it is general opinion among Americans that they are a spe <ids of geese.” Mr. McGavin said the United States triumphantly had referred to the fact that as between it and other nations the balance of trade was in its favor, “but,” he said, “nowhere in the sum mary can be found a reference to such trade as that in which soiled and frayed nobility is exchanged for a few million American dollars, wrung from the lambs of Wall street, with a wo man thrown in to boot.” “Every day,” he declared, “seemed to be a bargain day in New York city, whether it be for a yard of ribben or a pound of flesh; whether it be upon the retail counter of Broadway or the auo tion block of Fifth avenue. In: these days, he said, “wealthy American girls traveling abroad, when they see some remnant of royalty, en *thusiasticaly exclaim: ‘Oh, mamma, buy me that!" An interpreter is them #ecured, a bargain is made, the money Ais produced and the girl is gone to #oon return a sadder but a wiser one.” In conclusion Mr. Mc?avln said: “While I have engaged in some crit «ism of those particular ones who have made a mockery of the most sa cred relations of life—of those not satisfled with any other mame but ‘Countess Spaghetti’ or ‘Countess Mac caroni,” I want to say one word in tribute to those true American women who have spurned the wiles of earls, lords and counts for the love of his majesty—an American citizen.” DECISION AVERSE TO FORAKER.

The Ohio supreme court has aflirm ed the decisions of common pleas court for Franklin tounty and Allen county in the two cases brought to test the validity of the Bronson pri mary election law, It has been presumed that attorneys supposed to represent Senator Fornker‘ will carry the question now to the fed eral courts.

His Presence Calls Forth Eulogy from Arkansas Solon — Clashes With Bailey — Hits Court Decision. A Washington special says: The presence of William-Jennings Bryan In the lobby of the house furnished in spiration to Mr. Wallace of Arkansas for a vigorous speech in which, while admitting that Mr. Bryan had made mistakes and had been charged with talking too much, he said that the Ne braskan was worthy the honor and suf frage of all the states. In a window recess of the wide hall in front of the senate chamber, Mr. Bryan held an impromptu reception for senators and representatives for about’ an hour, An animated discussion tobk place between Senator Bailey and Mr. Bry an. As Mr, Bryan said later, the dis cussion was about the democratic view of the currency question. Both Mr. Bryan- and Senator Bailey said there had been very Ilittle difference of opinion. Both stood for the direct gov ernment issue of money instead of an issue through the banks. Mr. Bryan would make no statement as to wheth er he approved of. the compieteg plan of Senator Balley as outlined in the substitute he will offer for the Aldrich bill, but he said that its basis was good democratic doctrine brought down from the time of Jefferson. | Mr. Bryan’s attention being called to the supreme court decision holding that a corporation hag the right to discharge a man because he is a mem ‘ber of a labor unfon, he dictated a ‘statement which, in part, is as fol- Isws: ~ “The subject is one of vital import ance, and I do not understand by what course of reasoning the majority of the court reached the decision announced. A corporation is a creature of law. It has no rights except thosg given it by law, and it must not be confused with the natural men. Man was created to cary out a divine purpose. The corpo ration was created to-make money. The corporation enjoys many rights and privileges which are denied to the in dividual, and it cannot claim the pos gession of any natural or inalienable rights, The power that creates a cor poration can restrict it, restrain it and control it, and congress has plenary powers in dealing with corporations in so far ag they engage in interstate commerce. “The union is a lawful association, and if a man can be discharged be cause he belongs to a labor union, by the same logic he can be discharged if he belongs to a political party objec tionable to the employer, or a churcn against which the employer is preju diced, Followed to its logical conclu sion, the principle laid down by the court, as I understand the decision, would enable the corporation to set itself up as a dictator in regard to the habits, thoughts and convictions of its employees on any and every subject.” NO AGREEMENT REACHED. Railroads Will Take Rate Question in Tennessee to the Courts. #A conference between Governor Pat terson of Tennessee and representa tives of the several railroads operat ing in the state and the Tennessee railroad commission was held at Nash ville Tuesday. The conference was for the purpose of an amicable settlement of the pas senger rate question, but no agree ment was reached. “ The result is that the protesting roads will take the matter of rates to the courts for final adjustment.

PORTUGUL CHAOS-RIVEN King Carlos and Family Were Out Riding in Carriage When Assassins Fired Deadly Volley—Three of Murderers Killed on Spot. . King Carlos of Portugal and the crown prince, Luiz Philippe, were asg sassinated in Lisbon Saturday after no‘on at 5 o'clock. The king's second #on, the infant Manual, was slightly wounded, but Queen Amelie, who strove to save the crown prince’s life, by throwing herself upon him, was unhurt. ’ L A band of men waiting at the corner ts the Prado de Commercio and the Rua do Arsenal, suddenly sprang to ward the open carriage in which the royal family weré-driving to the pal ace, and, leveling carbines which they concealed upon them, fired. The king and crown prince, upon whom the at tack was directed, were each shot three times and they lived only long enough to be carried to the marine arsenal, near by, where they expired. Almost at the first shot the king fell back on the cushions, dying, and at the same moment the crown prince was seen to half rise and sink back on the seat. Queen Amelie jumped up and threw herself toward the crown prince in an apparent effort to sa.vo] his life at the cost of her own, but the ‘ prince already had received his death’i wound. ‘e } The royal family were returning from Villa Vicos, where they had been sojourning, and were on their way from the railroad station to’the pal ace. A strong guard was in attend ~ance, because of the recent uprisings in the city, but the band of marauderfgs; had selected the most advantageous spot for the commission of their crime, for they were concealed from the eyes ‘ of the police until the carriage hu; wheeled into a large square, e l Before any of the guards were aware of what was happening, the assassins :.»] leaped to the carriage and instmtly‘j a fusilade of shots rang out. In a mo _ment all was terréble confusion, the king and crown prince being shoté‘ down without the slightest chance to save themselves, Police guards sprang upon the regicides, the 'nmnbelrg of whom is uncertain, and killed three of them and captured three others. One of these committed suicide after being placed in prison. The news of the assassination swept through the city like fire, haljt tho/ populace is panic-stricken. An examination of t‘flfl)‘;,ounds of the king, who was already y‘afid when he reached the arsenal, shogvgd/that three bullets had found thefit{mark. One wound was situated at the nape of the neck, a second in the shoulder and the third, which was the fatal wound, severed the carotid artery, The crown prince, who was still breathing, but who died ~lmost imme diately after admission to the arsenal, had suffered three wounds in the head and chest. Two bullets had = struck Prince Manuel, one on the lower jaw and the other in the arm. The cold-blooded murder has set a thrill of horror throughout the coun try, even among those who have been working politically for the establish ment of a republie, Though torn by internal dissensions, the past few months, terrorized by acts of crime and bloodshed, uprisings in the streets, outrages with knife and bomb, and always fearful lest these signs of revolution would culminate in some dreadful outburst of passion, Portugal was not prepared for the blow that fell so suddenly, ~ According to later dispatches, a boy king, who henceforth will be known as Manuel 11., is now the ruler of the kingdom of Portugal, and the revolu tion into which the instigators of the bloody events of Saturday had hoped to plunge the country has not yet, at least, engulfed the nation, Portugal is rated among the smaller states of Europe, occupying most of the western part of the Pyrenean pe. ninsula, on which Spain is located, having Spain at the north and west beyond natural boundaries of rivers and mountaing and having the Atlantic ocean on all other sides., Its area is slightly larger than that of the state of Maine. Itg colonifl possessions in Africa and Asia are nearly twenty-two ‘ times as large as %hn Kkingdom. | STANDARD OIL IN AFRICA, ‘ A Iriterests of Trading Company Purchag | ed and Menepoly Established, The correspondent of The London Daily Mail at Durban announces in a dispatch that the Standard Oil com pany has acquired the South African trading interests of the Shell Transport and Trading company, thus establish. ing a menopoly in South Africa, GROSVENOR IS FIGURING, Officlal “Btatistician” of Republican Party Prognosticates How Na tional Election will Terminate. A Washington dispatch says: Gen eral Charles H. Grosvenor, ex-con gfessman, has recently given new ‘ proof of his claim to the title “Old Figgers.” He is the recognized sta tistician of the republican party. Though he is now out of congress, \ he is still furnishing ‘statistics” to show' that the republican party will be successful this year, and that Mr. Bryan is facing hopeless and.comfort less defeat. If it proves true Mr. Bry an can expect no sympathy from the general; he will be able to say “I told you so.” He has allowed Mr. Bryan 166 electro ral votes. As the electoral college will consists of 483 electors it will require 242 to secure the presidency. This means that Mr, Bryan will need to win 76 from the states put down by the general as solidly republican. He says that Bryan cannot possibly do it, The states conceded to Mr. Bryan and their 166 electoral votes are -as follows: Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Geor gia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Mississippi, Missouri, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas and Virginia. The following.- states, with 250 elec toral votes, are placed by General Grosvenor in the republican column: California, Colorado, Idaho, Illinols, lowa, Kansas, Maine, Massachusetts Michigan, Nebraska, New Hampshire, Oregon, Pennsylvanta, South Dakota, Utah, .Vermont, Washington, West Vlir ginia, Wyoming, Cennecticut, Minne sota, New Jersey, Ohio, Rhode Island, - Wisconsin. ‘ ~ While not admitting that the follow ing states are in any sense doubtful, Qeneral Grosvenor declares that any &ains in the democratic electrval vote - must be secured from these: Connectl cut, Delaware, Indiana, Minnesota, - Montana, Nebraska, New Jersey, New York, North Dakota, Ohio, Rhode Isk - and and Wisconsin. These states have 137 electoral votes and out of this number the democrats must secure the required 76 to have a majority in the “eleotoral college. ~ While contending that Mr. Bryan cannot win the necessary 76 votes, this statistician says: ' - “The long career of Mr. Bryan as & - successful candidate has seemed to ‘make it impossible to consider the claims of anybody else. He is a vigor { ous candidate; he is an attractive can ‘ didate; he is a tremendously successful candidate in every way except getting . electoral votes.” ~ General Grosvenor kindly suggests Judge George Gray of Delaware to the consideration of the democratic party as_a man who can carry Minnesota, New York, New Jersey, Connectlcut,} Ohio and Wisconsin if any democrat. can. - In making up election predictions, interesting note may be made of the prediction of Justus L. Johnson, pres ident of the Swedish-American Repub lican League of Illinois, who was in - Washidgton, Thursday, Mr. Johnson, \llthough a republican, declares it as hig belief that Governor John A. John- Llon of Minnesota can carry enough ,Gmtes to give bhim forty-nine more electoral votes than Bryan. ! DISPENSARY PROBE BEGINS. South Carolina Commission Begins In vegtigation at Columbia.

Criticism, : The long delayed reply of Secretary Cortelyou to afenate resolution call ing for information concerning the operations of the treasury department in connection with the recent financial crisis, was laid before the senate on Wednesday by the vice president. The ‘ document was not read, but a printed copy of it was on the desk of each genator, and nearly all of them at once gave it his attention, Mr. Culberson inquired of the vice president whether the pamphiet con tained all of the secretary's commdni cation. The vice president said he had not examined the report, : ~ “I do not reeall an ingfance,” said Mr. Culberson, “in which a head of a department of the government has an swered a senate resolution in printed form.” d | - “I will ask the senatbr from Massa chusetts,” broke in Senator Tillman, turning to Senator Lodge, “who is such a stickler for senatorial dignity and senatorial rights, to reply to this in qull‘y."‘ 1 “I den't know,” responded Mr, Lodge, “whether a cabinet officer ever sent in a printed report of this kind as a convenience, and I do not think it is a mattegfof importance, The entire reply will 'i'prlnted tomorrow.” ¥, Tillman retorted by declaring: : ;fi: secretary of the treasury is as “suming the airs of a president before he is elected to that office. The pres ident sefidg his message in this printed form, but I have never known a cabinet officer to assume to do this before.” \‘ Mr. Culberson said that the fact of - which he complained was that the sec retary of the treasury had printed his argument and had it laid on the desks of senators and had left the statement of facts which accompanies it to be orinted afterward.
