Channel from the Galveston jetties
to Texas City (provided it can be con-
tracted for to obtain a channel 100
feet wide and 25 feet deep), $250 000.
this last item was placed in the bill
at the instigation of Duluth parties.
A survey of Trinity river from its
mouth to Dallas was ordered; also
a beard of survey to prepare plans
and estimates for improving the mouth
of the Brazos; a board of survey for
a channel across Sabine lake; surveys
for Brazos Santiago and Point Isabel,
Matamoras bay.
New York got the biggest plum Sn
the pudding; $1,100,000 were given to
that point for a channel 2000 feet wide
and 35 feet deep, calling for an addi-
tion contract of $3,050,000. The prop-
fgfi osition for & forty foot depth at a
cost of $6,000,000 was defeated.
A $5,000,000 Philadelphia project
was also turned down.
A proposition to increase the depth
of Boston harbor at a cos*: of $1,000,-
000 was knocked out. New Orleans
got a half million for two large dredge-
boats and maintenance, but the $13,-
000,000 asked for a thirty-five loot

not even considered. Not v a single
Item in the bill, with the exception

exclusive of surveys or $300,000 in the
. sundry civil bill for Sabine Pass- under
a former contract This is about one-
fifteenth of the total appropriations
£ in the bill.
The appropriation of $60,000 for
Aransas Pass was a compromise be-
tween the Haupt jetty plan and the
plan suggested by government engi-
neers. Messrs. Sl&yden, Glebery and
Governor Wheeler wer active in rhis
matter and asked Mr. Ball of the com-
mittee to see that the Aransas Pass
appropriation was entirely separated
from the harbor company project. This
Was for the purpose of demonstrating
claim of f*ro( Haupt, who says the
removal of the old government jetty
will establish the success of the plan.
It leaves the government free to fol-
low either plan in future.
Appropriation for the mouth of Bra-
zos will be delayed until further esti-
mates are made and a board of sur-
vey was obtained for that purpose
through the work of Mr. Hawley.
Jndge Burke and Tom Ball jointly
got the survey for the Trinity river.
Mr, Cooper gor for his section, aside
from continuing appropriations, y>2,-
000 and a board of survey for Sabine
channel.
Kleberg’s district gets Aransas Pass
and two surveys. %
Cause of the Trouble
Hamburg, January 21.—According to
news received here from Samoa. Chief
Justice Chambers on December 31 an-
nulled the election of Mataafa. who
eras returned by a sextuple majority,
and declared Malieton Tanus, the sou
of the late King Malietoa, who is still
a minor, to be king. The three con-
eif’s recognized Mataafa's people as a
provisional government. Malietoa Ta-
tis Tamasese, another claimant for the
fihroe, and Obiejjf Justice Chambers, .t

The “Limited” Wrecked.
San Anxmio, Texas, January 21.—
The westtound Sunset limited ran into
a-light engine at LaCoste aiding yes-
terday morning, killing Engineer Nich-
olson of the light engine and Fire-
man A. M. Miller of the limited. Be-
sides these Fireman Mohavia of the
light engine and Engineer Frank Tay-
lor of the limited were injured Mo-
havia’s injuries are not serious, but
those of Taylor are.
The light engine had gone into the
switch at LaCoste to await the passing
of the limited. Fireman Mohavia of
the light engine is sure that he closed
the switch but those who examined it
afterwards declare that it was open
and unlocked.
The lirni ed left here on time yester-
day morning at 2:12. It reached La
Coste, which is 32 miles west, shortly
after 3 o’clock. Because of orders
to pass the light engine there, Engi-
neer Taylcr reduced the speed of his
train to twelve miles an hour. He
had no warning that the switch was
open until he. had run into it. Then
he set the air brakes and jumped.
But the collision was unavoidable. The
limited, with its heavy momentum,
crashed into the light engine and in-
stantly there was an explosion, the
light engine being smashed to bits by
the explosion.
Engineer Nicholson was badly scald-
ed and he died a few' moments after
he was taken off his engine.
Fireman Miller of the limited was
killed outright.
The baggige, mail and express tars
were throvm from their trucks, hut
np one was hurt. None of the coaches
were damages and no one in them
hurt.
The light engine was demolished,
but thg limited’s engine will be
brought in and repaired,

Alger to b« Ke moved .
Washington, January 21.—It is de-
clared that Secretary Alger is to be
removed from the war department and
that the president will be forced to
send him back to Michigan
It is ako d eclared that General Miles
is to be removed for two reasons. First,
that when, ns he alleges, he found the
beef bad he did not report to £he gov-
ernment; second, that he does not work
harmoniously with he administration.
If reports sre true, this will be the
rest-alt of the investigation of the war
court. It will repoPc uaat the caargek
of "embalmed beef was supplied to the
soldiers, and that the canned and other-
wise prepared meat was bad or pois-
onous, also that the charges that sol-
diers did not have proper food, are
untrue.”
With General Eagan court martialed
and as gracefully as possible relegated
(into obscuri j, and Alger put out of
the war department, and—‘better than
aH, from ai: administration point of
view’—General Miles removed, the ad-
ministration will have a chance to
return to its more important work of
getting its numerous islands upon a
business bass.

It is skid that the administration has
stood by Secretary Alger wilJa great
forbearance. His eccentricities, insin-
cere person ildties and experimental
freaks in th
reached the

Hold Consul.
London, Jan. 20.—A special dispatch
from Auckland. N. Z., says the British
and American consuls were compelled
to force the doors of the supreme court
at Apia, Samoa, in which the German
consul had established himself, and to
push him into the street.
All parties at Apia the special dis-
patch continues, unite in condemning
the German consul for the fighting
which has taken place between the
rival kings. It is pointed out that in
violation of all agreements the consul
accompanied Mataafa’s forces when the
claimant invaded the town and en-
cour^ed the opposition to Malietoa
Tanus.
When the British and American con-
suls were informed as to the situation
they adjourned the court and locked
the building. The German consul then
demanded the keys, which were refused
him. He then broke open the doors,
removed the locks and replaced them
with ohers. He afterward brought the
German municipal president into the
chamber and the latter w’ent upon the
balcony and shouted to the British
and American marines assembled on
the square:
“I am the supreme court. I am chief
justice.”
The crowd replied with jeers and the
British consul demanded the keys of
the building, which were refused.
A Scotchman named Mackib there-
upon climbed on top of the building
and hoisted the Samoan flag, while the
British and American consuls and a
number of marines invaded the build-
ing, forced the doors open and pushed
the German consul into the street.
Then the two consuls formally and
legally, according to the special dis-
patch, opened the court and issued a
warning against any further interfer-
ence with its jurisdiction, threatening
to arrest and imprisonment of any one
attempting to do so.
Matters, the dispatch concludes, are
now quiet and the German consul re-
mains in his consulate.
Proceed* at Once.

Congressional.
Washington, Jan. 20—The senate
listened further yesterday to the dis-
cussion of the pokey of expansion. Mr.
1 urner (Pop.) of Washington, deliver-
ed a speech on the Vest resolutions, in
which he took issue w’ith Senator
Foraker upon his recent utterances.
At the conclusion of Mr. Turner’s
argument Mr. Foraker took some
sharp exceptions to statements made in
the speech, essentially those referring
to him personally. He explained at
length the nature of his statements,
declaring, among other things, that he
had spoken only for himself and had
no intention or desire to pose as the
representative of the administration
so far as his utterances were con-
cerned.
The Nicaragua canal bill was under
discussion nearly three hours. After
much debate a substitute presented
by Mr. Morgan of Alabama, for the
bond amendment offered by Mr. Alli-
son w’as adopted. It provided that the

out for work on the canal Inore than
$20,000,000 during any fiscal year.

Mr. Crumpacker (Rep.) of Indiana,
then called up the contested election

the case.
Washington, Jan. 20—The navy de-
partment has prepared orders for the
cruiser Philadelphia to proceed to
Samoa at once to represent the Uni-
ted States in this territory. The Phil-
adelphia is due at San Diego next Sun-
day from Acapulco. Meanwhile i? any
vessel more quickly available can be
found, one of Dewey’s fleet, for in-
stance, it will be ordered- at once to
Samoa to answer the urgent appeal of
the United States consul there. The
commander of the Philadelphia will
act in conformity with the instructions
of the United States consuls so far as
those instructions are in lien with the
treaty of Berlin, w’hich the United
States contends must be literally en-
forced until amended. It w’ould take
the Philadelphia about sixteen days to
make the run from San Diego to Apia,
touching at Honolulu for coal.
Coal Op rators. 9 -
Pittsburg, Pap Jan. 20:—The morning
session of the Interstate convention of
coal operators and miners was brief.
When the convention assembled Chair-
man Dempster announced that the joint
scale committee was not ready to re-
port and the convention adjourned un-
til 2 o’clock.
At the afternoon session the scale
committee submitted the propositions
by both sides.

tion favor a double standard scale,
uniform screens, a ten-hour day, a 56
cents per ton scale price, or a 10-cent
reduction and a reduction in day wages
corresponding to the mining rata.
Berlin, Jan. 20.—The news from Sa
*noa has been received with forebod-
ings. The Lokal Anzeieer says:
“AH this doubtless signifies an an-
ciable quarre*. and with the uncere-
moniousness which the Americans
have affected lately toward us, it may
easily take a serious turn. The Sa-
moan conundrum has always involved
a lurking danger.”
The Vossiche Zeitung says:
“The situation will become even
graver when the American warship ar-
rives at Apia. It is said that the Wash-
ington department of state has in-
structed the United States consul there.
L. W. Osborne. nt>t to trust the Ger-
man consul. Evidently the United
States, w’ho are least interested in Sa-
moa among the three powers, do not
mean to respect Germany’s paramount
interests. Germany will have to show
firmness, all the more so as our posi-
tion is made the worse by the evident
desire of England to help the United
States so as tb retain the latter’s
friendship.” .
Murray Fredericks was run over and The Maritime Canal company had a
badly hurt at Denison, Tex. hearing before the house.

Press publishes an article covering,
with illustrations, over a page of space,
giving the details of an investigation
made by that paper of the dismantled
workshop of the late John W. Keeley,

swayed under their weight and el-
bowed and pushed their way up to
where the gre 'me object lay. 4

• > nderson’s crime attracted
spread attention, being a sea
of singular atrocity. As told in
Bi*1e some months ago, the
Olive Pecker sailed from Boston, ladei
with lumber, for a point on the River
Platte, Brazil. When 150 miles off the
coast of Brazil, Anderson had an alter-
cation with the captain. When tb#:
latter retired to the cabin Andersoif \
followed and shot the captain dead.
Then he armed himself heavily
went on deck, where he mounted,
forecastle and terrorized all on board.
The mate, who was aloft, was called i
down, and while pleading for his life
was shot four times. Then the crew
were ordered to throw the mate
board, and on protesting that he ■
not dead were assured “that he
dead enough.” > This done, the ..crwr <!
was inarched below at the point of p
pistol and ordered to throw the
tain’s body overboard.
Then Anderson directed that

SUICIDES TRACED TO FOOD.
Dr. Haig, an eminent authority on
the other side of the water, is of the
opinion that suicides may be traced to
error in diet, the error being the eat-
ing of meat, the drinking of beer and
tea, and the smoking of tobacco. HI#
facts all fall comfortably into their
places in support of his hypothesl*.
Are there not more suicides among'
men than among women, and do not
men consume more meat, more beer
and more tobacco than the women?
Again, suicide is more common in Eng-
land than in Scotland, not apparently
because the Scotch are a more canny
race, but because the English eat more
meat and drink more beer, while th*
Scotch eat less mi at and drink whisky
instead of beer, nays the “Hoepital.’*
After maintaining that suicide was lee#
common among - he Scotch it was per-
haps hardly polity, when addressing a
Scotch audience, |o go on to aa3^^^_
suicide Increased with civllliatl#^^^^
the fact was explained on the
of more injurious diet, that of
ized man being more productive of uri#
acid and thus of suicide than that
which prevails where civilization i#
less advanced. Uric acid is, in fact, at
the bottom of all this, and, accordfag
to Dr. Haig, the Incidence of suicide
tallies with the daily, annual and life
fluctuations of uriic acid in the blood,
being commonest when uric acid in
most abundant, namely. In the morn-
ings, in spring and summer.
