admonished his friend from the North that ti:cy did not live amons the negroes and IUI not understand the problem to be rolved. "Wc of the South," he ?aid. addressing tho majority, "are trying to folve it fairly to both races, and I appeal to you. If you arc in favor of upbuilding the negro race, if ycu are In favor of protecting the investments which the North has made there, to send this resolution tu a committer and lt it di there." Mr. McDormctt Insisted that there was

r.ot a State rn the Union which had not J added to or subtracted from the constltutlonal requirements. He pointed out the nualincallons added by the State of Penn-f-j lvania. He denounced the resolution aa an attempt to stir up "sectional strife." Mr. Williams, of Mississippi, said that In recent years fome of the people of the touth had listened to the siren voice of tl e North that sectionalism was dead. This resolution would pluck from the eyes of those who had been partially deceived the veil that had been placed over them. After declaring that the resolution was Ftupid and impracticable, and citing the voting requirement of various other States he made an ardent defense of the course of Mississippi and other Southern States. There is no man who loves American civilization." he said, "who is not glad in his heart that by constitutional and legal methods analogous to those adopted in Massachusetts, Rhode Island and other States the South has solved this troublesome a tut almost unsolvable problem." Mr. Olmstead. the author of the resolution, said he did not want the resolution to die. and would move its reference to the census committee If the chairman of that committee would agree to call ths committee together to consider it within orte week. WILL DO ITS DUTY. Chairman Hopkins said he wa3 not In the mood to make a "bargain" to-day, but assured Mr. Olmsted that his committee would do its duty. Mr. Olmsted then made the motion to refer, and It was carried without division. Mr. Hopkins Immediately called up the reapportionment bill. He sought to make cn agreement to vote on the bill on Monday, but Mr. Mann objected. Mr. Hopkins opened the debate in a careful explanation of his bill. He stated that the majority of the census committee favored keeping the membership down to the present number, C57. from consideration of economy and intelligent legislation. Mr. Shafroth wanted Mr. Hopkins to explain how it was that Colorado would gain one representative under the system adopted if the total number was 33G or ut would not if it - were C37. M: Hopkins replied that the fact which Mr. Shafroth cited was what was called years ago the "Alabama paradox." Any system, he said, would not deal exact Justice to every State. The membership was arbitrarily fixed at 7. which made the basis of representation Dividing the population of the States by this division :3 members were assigned. The other thirty-two were assigned to those States having the largest major fractions. The States which were opposing this bill, he aid, were those which lost representatives under its operation. He claimed that the bill of the minority showed favoritism to Nebraska and Maine, each of which would lose one representative upon the basis of the figures prepared by the director of the census for a House of 3S members. Those two members, he said, were deliberately filched by the llurleigh bill from New YorK to Pennsylvania. He declared that a more unfair bill was never presented to the House than that fathered by the gentleman from Maine. Burlefgh. The Burleigh bill, he raid, gave Maine a representative for each 173,617 inhabitants. If this ratio were taken in New York. Pennsylvania and Illinois, New York would have five. Pennsylvania three and Illinois three more representatives than the bill allows them. Mr. Shafroth followed, citing the case of Colorado, which would get an additional member if the House were to consist of 3T6 or 338, but would lose the additional member at 337, to show that the system upon which the bill was predicated was unjust. He contended also that a larger House was not a menace to legislation and cited the popuar assemblages of European parliaments to show that a larger House would not be cumbersome. At 5 o'clock the House adjourned. SHATTtC'S RESOLUTION. Inquiry Into Alleged Abridgment of Saffrngre Proponed. WASHINGTON. Jan. -Representative Shattuc. of Ohio, to-day introduced in an amended form his resolution proposing a congressional inquiry into an alleged abridgment of the right of suffrage. The , resolution recites that the right of representation Is denied in many of the States ( to male citizens over twenty-one years of age, in direct violation, of the fourteenth amendment to the Constitution, and is an invasion of the rights and dignity of the House of Representatives. The resolution further declares that Massachusetts, Maine. Delaware, Connecticut, California, Louisiana. Mississippi. North Carolina. South Carolina. Wyoming, Oregon and other States deny the right to vote to certain male citizens of full age and that "such denial In Certain of the said States extends to more than one-half of those who, prior to the last apportionment of representation, were entitled to vote in such States." The resolution calls for an investigation by a select committee of five chosen from the census committee and a report within twenty days with a bill "apportioning membership in the House of Representatives based . on the provisions of the fourteenth amendment to the Constitution."

STORM IN THE FAR WEST

PACIFIC COAST SWEPT IIY A FUItlOrS WIXTEIl ÜALC. High Sen from Cape Flattery to Sauta Cm Damage In San l'roncl co -Havoc In .evnda. SAN FRANCISCO. Jan. 4.-From reports received here the gale which struck this city last night seems to be raging not only on the southern coast, but all along the line from Santa Cruz to Cape Flattery. The waves are rolling mountain-high at Fort Ross. Old-timers report by telephone that it & the worst storm ever known In that locality. The bay on the Oakland side was so rough that the ferry steamer Newark was withdrawn from service and the freight boat Mount Kden turned back to port. The British bark invurmark and the American bark Theobald collided in the bay. Invermark had her jib-boom carried away. In the city last night trees and many advertising fences were blown down. A new residence at 2151 Folsom street was blown over. A young woman, who refused to give her name, was knocked almost fenseless by being blown against a telegraph pole on Rush street. The heavy cornice of a building at Kearney and Sacramento streets fell to the street and several pedestrians had narrow escapes. At Powell and Sacramento streets two trees were blown across the street-car tracks, stopping travel for some time. St. Luke'a Hospital was plunged into darkness by the breaking of its electric wires. At the Cliff House the wind blew at the rate of sixty miles an hour, and the ocean was extremely rough, the waves breaking e.o high as to cover a part of tha roadway. A number of windows in the Cliff House were broken and the entire structure seemed threatened with collapse. Masters of vessels on the waterfront got extra mooring lines and by timely precaution saved serious disaster. A main-street wharf, about twenty feet of the bulkhead, was washed away. A portion of the ventilator on lop of the new ferry building was blown away, and Fred Rowen. who was on the'roof at the time, had a narrow escape from death. Train Blown from the Trwclc. RENO, Nev., Jan. 4. A terrific windstorm has done much damage here and in this vicinity. The South-bound passenger train on the Nevada, California & Oregon Railway was struck by a galo at Doyles, forty miles north of Reno, and was hurled from the rails. Four passengers and three trainmen were hurt. A baggage car on the Virginia & Truckee Railroad express vas lifted from the trucks at Washington Mills, south of here. A portion of the roof of the Central Pacific depot at Reno was blown off, and the roundhouse suffered similarly. One side of the brick livery stable of R. W. Perry was blown in. A portion of the second floor wai used as a residence. Perry and his family were seated in the dining room vhen, without warning, a sixty-foot section of the south wall collapsed. Mr. and Mrs. Perry and their three children were buried in the debris, but almost miraculously escaped serious injury. A number of other buildings were badly damaged. Seventy-Two Inches of Snow. YRBKA, Cal., Jan. 4. The snowstorm has passed all previous records, seventytwo inches having fallen since Thursday evening, and It is still snowing furiously. Buildings are falling In under the tremendous weight. North-and-south-bound trains, engines and snow plows are snowed in at different places in the country on the line of the railroad. The Fort Jones and Etna stage has been out since yesterday morning trying to come a distance of eighteen miles, and it is feared that the passengers and driver are helpless in the Scott valley mountains. Two hundred and twenty-five excursionists from this county and as many more from southern Oregon and other points are in San Francisco unable to return on account of the blockade. TORN INTO FRAGMENTS. Three Men Killed and Others Injured by Explosion of Dynamite. PHILADELPHIA, Pa.. Jan. 4.A frightful explosion of dynamite occurred this afternoon at the Repauno Chemical Company's works, located at Thompson Foint, N. J., a thinly settled spot on the Delaware river, twelve miles below this city. The building was annihilated and three workmen in it at the time were blows to atoms. They were: Oliver Mcllvane and Walter Whine, of Glbbstown. N. J.; John Kirby, of Thoroughfare, N. J. Several workmen In other buildings were hurt by the force of the explosion, but none seriously. The building in which the expolslon occurred was a one and a half story frame affair, and was a part of the other portion of the works. The dead men had been punching the dynamite into eight-inch paper shells for use in blasting. Pieces of the men's flesh were picked up over a hundred feet away from the wrecked building. Officials of the company say they cannot estimate the loss, but it Is thought it will not be over $5,000. HOUSE BOOZ INQUIRY. (CONCLUDED FROM FIRST PAGE.) to members of the family from Oscar, five exhibits in all. The committee decided to withhold the letters from the public until it could consider them In executive session. This was done at the request of the family, as they contained 'some personal matters which in no way related to the investigation. The sister said Oscar had told her he would not again undergo the treatment he had received at West Point for J100.000. At all other schools Oscar had attended, she said, he had got along very well and was popular with the students. At West I'oint all was different. After he was called Dut to tight he was called "coward" and "goody-good y." He was always annoyed by the upper class men. Oscar characterized the upper class men as "brutes," "bullies" and "tyrants." Mrs. Booz again took the stand at the afternoon session for the purpose of identifying the letters submitted by her daughter. Mr. Rooz also took the stand for the same purpose. An extract of a letter found in Oscar's trunk, after the military board sat at Iirlstol, was also Identified by him. In this extract Oscar said he had trouble with his heart as the result of several blows he received in his fight. II. C. ROOZ ALMOST FAINTS. Howard C. Booz, a younger brother of Oscar, said that Oscar was Irritable after ho left West Point, and when he played basketball he seemed to tire very soon. Oscar had told him he had been hung by the hands from a stretcher. Oscar also told Howard that If he. Howard, would go to West Point he would come back In a coffin. Howard showed signs of falntness and was escused until to-morrow. Dr. William Martin, of Rristol, who examined Oscar Rooz's physical condition preparatory to the young man going to West I'oint. testified he found him a fair specimen of manhood. He noticed, however, bis lung expansion was slightly deficient. "Do ym think tuberculosis could have been cau-cd by tobasco sauce being forced down a person's throat?" "I believe It can only be produced by the Inhalation of germs." "Would burns produced by the swallowing of the sauce leave a good ground for the lodgment of tuberculosis gorms?" "It would." was the reply. "Would the condition of Oscar's throat as it was before he went to West Point have become worse by the swallowing of tota$co sauce?" "I think it would. The throat was not la a normal condition one month prior to his entrance to West Point, at which time I treated him for a rheumatic sore throat." Dr. Joseph Abbott, of Rristol, testified that Oscar Booz had. primarily, tuberculosis, with a secondary extension into the throat. He was of opinion that tobasco sauce could not affect the lungs. Dr. Willis P. Weaver, the family physician, differed In opinion with the previous witnesses as to where the boy's affection started. He was of the belief that It started In the throat. He also believed that the abuse, humiliation and fear he

was subjected to was sufficient to lower the vitality of the boy. Oscar never told him that he swallowed tobasco sause, but if he did It would excoriate his throat in resisting its swallowing, which would create a vulnerable spot for lodgment of a colony of tuberculosis baccilll. The committee then adjourned to meet in Philadelphia to-night.

Testimony of Specialist. PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 4. Dr. J. Soils Cohen, a throat specialist of this city, was the first witness called at the r ight session held In this city. He testified to Booz ecming to him cn Aug. 4, 1900, with a welldevelcped case of tuberculosis. He did not think the swallowing of tobasco sauce could produce tuberculosis, but might Injure the throat. Dr. James Wallace, of Philadelphia, an eye specialist, who treated Booz for the eyes after he left the academy, said Booz told him ho resigned because his eyes troubled him. The ailment proved Insignificant. Charles IL Strout. principal of St. Luke's Boarding School, Bustleton, Pa., where Oscar Rooz prepared for West Point, said it was his Impression that he did not have great strength of character, nor was he physically strong. He was, however, a truthful and Christian young man. Sigmund S. Albert, an ex-cadet, who was a classmate of Booz, was then called. Albert's testimony before the military board was read to him. The witness at that hearing declined to answer certain questions, and he was asked to-night why he declined, but he could give no satisfactory response. Albert firmly believed that he was ostracised at West Point because of his being a Jew. He testified that he had been called "a damned Jew" by Cadets Meyer and Jordan, of the third class. Albert at first refused to give the names of theee boys. At midnight the committee adjourned to meet at Bristol at 'J a. m. to-morrow. R. N. BATCHELDER LEAD.

Milholland. who bore an invitation from prominent New Yorkers to Mr. Kruger to visit America. While in Paris they will see the leaders of the arbitration movement in Europe and decide definitely on plans. Mr. Stead said: 'The time has come for President Kruger to play his trump card and boldly declare his intention to visit President McKinley In order to plead with him the cause of the independence of the South African republics. Kruger is looked at askance in Germany and Austria because 1 he Is the president of a republic, but he thinks this will not be regarded as a disqualification for his reception by the President of the greatest republic in the world.' " 10,000 Doers In Arm. NEW YORK. Jan. 4. Charles D. Pierce, consul general of the Orange Free State in New York and treasurer of the Boer relief fund in America, has given out the following statement: "The news coming to us every day, both by public and private cable, shows the reported conquest of the Boers to be a delusion. There are under arms on the Boer side over 15,OmO hardy, determined, invincible patriots, of whom 5.000 are now invading Cape Colony, against the 210.000 troops landed from Great Britain and her dependencies. The British invaders have lost over 45 per cent, of that force. The Boer total losses in killed and dying from wounds have not exceeded 1.500, but their loss in property and In the Impoverishment of the people has been very great.

Tilden Club has been incorporated in response to the wishes of Democrats who are desirous that the party hall not continue to lose, but rather to win battles at the polls. We shall, instead of fighting sixteen to one; fight for tariff reform, against subsidies, against centralization of power and other great issues on which the Democracy has heretofore gone to the people and won many a victory.'

Jennings, as Governor of Florida, ' FRANCHISE TAX TJKGED. Feature of Governor Stephen 2.",OOO Word Message. JEFFERSON CITY. Mo.. Jan. -Governor Stephens's message sent to the General Assembly to-day contains about 23.000 words. Regarding franchise taxation the message says In part: "All corporations should pay a franchise tax upon business transacted In Missouri without reference to the place of their organization, and most certainly no distinction or discrimination should bo made against our own corporations in favor of foreign corporations in that regard. Rut in framing legislation for the taxation of these intangible values it should b borne In mind that. the essentials of a system of taxation are considered to be the collection of the necessary revenue for the State at the smallest possible expense consistent with an equal nnd fair distribution of the burden. The interests of the people require a method of taxation at once equitable, effective and free from unnecessary oppression, one which will yield the requisite revenue while subjecting them as little ns possible to inquisitorial vexation, and which should be attended with the lenst expense for official ff.rvice and the fewert temptations to fraud, concealment and evasion." necepllon lr Governor Tanner.
