Washin'otoX April 10. The District
of Columbia appropriation bill which
was recommitted early in March after
a protracted fight against appropria-
tions for private and sectarian ehnr-
itablo institutions was brought into
the House yesterday with the specific
appropriations stricken out and con-
taining in lieu thereof an appropria-
tion of a lump sum for charities to be
expended under the diruction of tiio
District commissioners with the pro-
viso that no purt of the appropriation
should go to institutions in eov euis-
tical or sectarian control. 'I i-u-ture
of the debate was a vie" it-
tack on the A. 1'. A. by Mr. I aild
(Democrat) of Massachusetts
"It lias been stated." sai-i that
members of the A I' A. inyiuii.utlon
never made any p - 'iui to tnc up-
priations for thest- n ntutions until
the night before and then they bom-
barded the committee room anil in-
sisted upon the appropriations for
these institutions being stricken out
"The animus of this organization"
he piocceded "is well known. Mem-
bers of the 1 louse have been impor-
tuned not in the interest of justice
of freedom or of a broad spirit of lib-
erality and Americanism to oppose
this Idll but because it appropriated
money for Catholic institutions. I
stand unon this lloor born and bred a
Roman Catholic and promt of it and
I deny the right of any secret cath-
bound organization to come before the
legal representatives of the people
and by its dark deep underbuild
methods seok to deprive mo and the
members of the religion which I pro-
fess of the honest rights and privi-
leges and dues of American citizen-
ship. "What apology is there for a Homau
Catholic to live in this country? Is
one necessary? l.octc at the deeds of
bravery and heroism and statesman- I
ship that have been performed by
llomnn Catholics. I challenge any
member of the A. 1". A. organization
in this house or any member in sym-
pathy with it to name any sphere in
life or any public duty that lias been
badly filled or illy performed by mem-
bers of the Itoman Catholic church.
In tho great war of the devolution
Washington had no firmer friends or
firmer supporters than the Roman
Catholic members of his stall'; and
when wo look at the great naval
struggle which was tho pride and the
glory of the Amcrieau people at that
time tho first name that snrings to
our lips is that of an Irishman a
Roman Catholic Captain .lohnO'Urtcn
who achieved tho first groat naval
victory of tho war off tho coast of
Maine. It was not nsked whether
Kosciusko or l'ulaski or Lafayette
were Catholics when tho thirteen
colonics were struggling for their in-
dependence. "At that time could you find any
fanatics? At that time could you find
persons stealthily creeping around
from one end of the country to the
other in secrecy intriguing against a
man's religion? 1 know we talk
about the breadth and liberality of
the American people in these days.
Sviiy sir it is not to be compared with
the breadth and liberality and wisdom
that wore exhibited in those times.
My friends if we should have war
with linglnnd on account oi me en-
czuelan mutter or with Spain on ac-
count of the Cuban matter where
would the members of this infamous
organisation be where would they
be found? They would lie found in
the same place and under the same
auspices that they were found in tho
"War of tho Rebellion talcing the
stoamers for Nova Scotia to put thoin-
solvos under tho protection of (Jueun
Victoria and the ltritih Hag."
Tho bill wui passed as amended

Hill Raidler the outlaw was brought
back from Kingfisher yesterday and
lodged In tho federal jail. He was
tried before Justice McAtee and con-
victed of attempting to rob the malls.
Tho charge of attempting to rob the
United States malls was the only
ground) on which the United States
authorities could handle ttie case as
the train robbery charge would be a
territorial offense.
The train robbery at Dover occurred
something over a jear ago. The mar-
shals chased the ban tits Into the ex-
tremo western partof th territory but.
before the robbers finally eluded them
tho marshals killed Tulsa Jack in the
chase.
District Attorney C. R. Hrooks and
Assistant Tom McMcchan conducted
the prosecution which was caustic and
vigorous and elicited much favorable
comment The outlaw was defended
by Attorneys Joseph Wlsby of this
city and Virgil llobbs of Kingfisher.
As soon us the prisoner is sentenced
his captor Deputy Hill Tilgliwan will
receive rowards aggregating Si 800
from the Rock Island Co ; the Wells

o'clock yesterday morning .lolin
Hrooks shot and killed his daughter
Molllc Hrooks seriously wounded her
sweetheart A. C. Worrels and then
committed suicide.
Worrels and Miss Hrooks were lovers
and had made up their minds to marry
in opposition to the wishes of the
young womau's father. When the
north bound Central train due
here at 2:02 a. in. stopped at the
station the young people were there
ready to get aboard and run away.
Worrels helped Miss Hrooks upon
the first step of the platform and just
as she got up her father who stepped
from the other side of the car fired
upon her shooting her through the
right breast the bullet passing
through her body. She fell backward
into the arms of her lover with the
words: "Oh Arthur father lias killed
me" and immediately expired.
As Worrels bent down to lay her on
the platform Hrooks fired upon lain
under the car.the ball passing through
his neck and malting a serious and
probably fatal wound.
After the shooting Hrooks who has
been employed at the rock quarry of
(ireon & Olfvc went to the quarry and
tried to borrow a pistol but could not

der house secured a box of dynamite
and going away about 100 yards sat

A terrific explosion followed which

NEW RECIPROCITY BILL.
Suit-Committee
Mens-
las Agreed on
lire to ltetort.
Washington April 10. The sub-
committee of the committee on ways
and means which lias been conducting
an investigation into the results of the
recent reciprocity policy of the gov-
ernment has agreed to report to the
full committee as a substitute for the
large number of measures that have
been proposed in Congress during this
session relating to reclproeitj' and re-
taliation a bill which was ottered by
Mr. Hopkins in the House of Repre-
sentatives yesterday.
Tho bill comprises five sections un-
der tho caption: "A bill to increase
and equalize the trade of the United
States with foreign nations by the ne-
gotiations of reciprocal commercial
urrangenienta"
It differs materially from the old
reciprocity provision of the McKinle"
act in that it does not offer lower
rates than those now established to
nations entering upon the agreements
but simply relieves them from the im-
position of additional duties.
Hrudley In the Itai-u to Slay.
FiiankI'OI'.t Ky. April 10. Govern-

atod tiie statement that he is in the

feat in the district convention at
Frnnkfoit and at Falmouth.
sel's hold uud were probably pinned
down by the falling dunnage used to
hold the ships ballast in place. The
imprisoned sextette never reached the
deck as did their comrades engngcu
with them in handling tho ballast be-
low and the bodies of the six are
imprisoned in the steel hull. The
Hlnirmore's masts lie level with the
bay bottom under seven fathoms of
water and not a sign of the sailor's
sunken tomb is visible above the
waves.
The squall that caused the disaster
was the most severe experienced on
the south arm of tho bay for many
years. The wind was so severe that a
number of ships anchored near the
Hluirmore signaled for tugs to move
them up the bay. The tloodtido work-
ing at the keels of the ships had a
tendency being counter to the wind
to upset those hulls not weighted with
curgo. The Hluirmore with her head
toward the Union Iron works was
keeled over so far that a passing tow-
boat captain hailed her and asked
Captain Caw her commander if ho
did not wish to tow to the north end
of the bay. Meanwhile the squall
blew its hardest the sea was heavy
and rain fell in torrents. Captain
Caw did not think his vessel hud
braved tho perils of a nuinbei of ocean
voyages to be wrccknu in tne nay oi
San Francisco so ho refused a tow
saying he would hold on a little
longer. The tug had scarcely drawn
away when the Hlairmore gave a sud-
den lurch dipped her yards and fell
prone on her starboard quarter.
The water rushed into her hold in
torrents. The rapidly escaping air
from the hdld blew the water foun-
tainlike as high as the lower yard.
The men scrambled wildly out on the
outer ladder. A passing tug with
another vessel in tow dropped her
lines and blew for help to speed the
rescue but it was too late.
"The tide was at fiood and squalls
were blowing from the southwest"
said tho captain. "It was a nasty
combination the water broadside on
tho ship and she light with squalls
bearing her over hard to starboard.
She went over in a twinkle. The first
thing I knew she was sinking beneath
us with five of my poor men In the
hold and ouc throw n overboard. The
second and third mates und a number
of the men had readied the rail and
were waiting boats from the ships
Cromdale and Yeoman. These boats
saved those not in the hold who were
drowned like rats or else killed by be-
ing struck by Hying ballast."
Tho Hlairmore is comparatively
new. She was built at Glasgow in
1893 and wns registered 1707 tons.
There were 2(10 tons of ballast In the
hold and it is thought the ballast
shifted and covored the bodies. The
loss on ship and furniture will exceed
Sl'25000. The task of raising the
Hlairmore will be expensive. Seven
fathoms of water cover tlieship where
she went down.
majority of the delegates elected to
the national convention from Mis-
souri. As a result of the primaries
the so-called "sound money ' men
elected solid delegations in three
wards. Three other wards elected
delegates of both persuasions wlillo
the remainder of the twenty-eight
wards went solid for "free silver."
Although the "free silvcrites" will
send a largo majority of the delegates
to the State convention from here ex-
Governor Francis and C. C. Maflltt
chairman of the Democratic State
central committee botli prominent
leaders of the "sound money" forces
in Missouri will also be delegates.
Maflltt was elected while Francis will
go on a proxy. This victory for Maflltt
and Francis means in all probability
that they will be elected delegates to
the national convention by the con-
ventions in the Kloventh and Twelfth
congressional districts

St. Joski'H Mo. April 10. A bold
attempt was made to effect a jail de-
livery early last night by the prison-
ers confined in tho Huclianau county
jail. It was only frustrated by acci-
dent. About "J o'clock a young man
named Ed Timmerson who was visit-
ing the sheriff was strolling about
the rear portion of the jml when ho
noticed a fellow trying to crawl out
of one of tho windows. He ran up
and at the point of a revolver
drove him back. Then ho stood
guard until help came. The prisoners
were locked up at once in their cells
and an examination disclosed that
some one had passed them in a saw
with which they had cut six of tho
bars from one of the grated windows
and the first man had just started out
when Timmerson made the discovery.
There are four muraerers I'unshon
I'ollnrd and the two Mays confined
in the jnll and forty other prisoners.
Who furnished the saw is not yet

said he thought neither Cleveland nor
Carlisle would bo nominated at the
