I cave the report .of the of lieev'; npou which tho dismissal was b.iej. 'These reports were made in nceo: dance with the custom in such ??ses: for it would of course, be im P's;b!e to preserve discipline in the army save by pursuing: precisely th-i course that in this ease was pursued. Inasmuch, however, as in the Senate question was raised as to the sui tieiency of the evidence, I deemed it wise to send Major Bioekson and Assistant Attorney General Purely to Brownsville to make a thorough in vestigation on the ground in reference to the matter. I herewith transmit Secretary Tail's report and testimony taken under oath of the various wit r.esies examin?d in the course of the investigation. I also submit various exhibits, including- maps of Browns ville and Foil Brown, photographs of various buildings, a letter from Judge Parks to his wife, together with a bandoler," X empty shells, seven ball cartridges and four clips nicked up in the streets of Brownsville within a few hours after the shooting:, three steel-jacketed bullets and some scraps of the casings of other bullets picked out of the houses into which thev had been fired. A telegram from United States Commissioner R. B. Creager, at Brownsville, announces that six ad ditional bullets like the others front Springfield rifles taken from build ings in Brownsville, with supporting affidavits have since been sent to the Secretary of War. The Crime At Brownsville. Tt niwai's from the testimony that ;n the r.ight of the 13th of August. lu0o". several crimes were committed bv si.mp iiprson or persons in the city of Brownsville. Among- these weif the following: , A) The murder of Fiank Natus. B) The assault with intent to ku the Lieutenant of Police, Dominguez v h,-e horae was killed under him ant whese arm was shot so severely that it bad to amputated. tC) The assault with intent to kiV Mr. and Mrs. Hale Odin and thei: little bov. who were in the windov. of the Milter Hotel. .

Washington. Special. Proposals opened bv the canal commission for the entire construction of the Pana ma canal were a low as had been ex pected bv experts on construction work. For some time it has been known that several members of the commission believed T per centum upon the estimated cost of the con struction would be a fair remunera tion for a contract, or under the form of contract prepared by the commission. The lowest proposal, that of Wil lint.T T Oliver, of ICnti-TviHe. Tennes- T- V',,s- ' ----- J T see, and Anson M. Bangs, of New York citv, who offered to do the work for ti.7." tier centum of the es timated cost, falls even lower than had been hoped for. (Jrantimr that the estimate of frl4O.O(0,0UO for the construction of the canal, which had been frequent ly spoken of in congress, is accurate, the remuneration of the Oliver-Bangs combination would be $9,4.50.000 in case it were to be awarded the con tract. William J. Oliver and Anson M. Bangs have both been in the contract ing business for many years, and the statements thev furnished with their proposal show that they have done much important work. Mr. Oliver states that lie has completed 100,000 worth of work in the past ten years now has $31,500,000 worth of work in progress. He gives his assets at $3,000,000. Mr. Bangs gives his assets at $2,000,000. The other bidders were George Peirce & Company, of Frankfort, Maine and New York city, who of fered to do the work for 7.19 per centum upon the estimated costs, the North American Dredging- Company, of Los Angeles, C ahiorma, who or fered to do the work for 2S. per centum of the estimated costs, and the McAithur. Gillespie Company, of New York, whose bid was JJ.o per centum. Senate Still Talking. i Taking but brief time to pRS the l$jnIativef executive and judieial ap propriation bill, carrying r.t-arh thirty-one million dollars, the Senate uevoted the remainder of the day to the Brownsville affray. President Kooeelt mesagv, ac companied bv many additional affi davits and 3 cigar box of bullets and empty cartridge shells, wan received read and ordered printed. ihe speech-making on the subject then began and continued until a:30 o'clock. Mr. Foraker, saying he was not going; to make a speech, "but a few remarks, observed that the tsti- mo,:y. amounts to a gat deal, "lor the "President tells us it is com.lu- THE N. C. LEGISLATURE Strike Leaders Are Shot. City of Mexico, Speeial. Lato ad vices from the Crizaba strike dis trict are to the effect that 5,562 of the 7.0S3 men who were out, have re turned to work. Although everything; "s quiet at present, swift punishment was inflicted by the government upon the men who were leaders in the late rioting. Just how many men were executed for the part which they took in the trouble is not yet known, but seven of the ring- leaders were shot in the sight of hundreds of wit nesses. The shooting of these lead ers, among who were Rafael Moreno, vice president, and Manuel Juarez, secretary of the Working; Men's or ganization, was dramatic. It was at 5:30 o'clock in the morning when 5,000 of the alveadv half-starved strikers determined to turn back to work. The factory whistle was blow ing and throngs of men were about to enter the open doors when they saw a squad of soldiers leading the condemned men to the ruins of the stores that had been razed by the mob. Plaeing the men on the piles of smouldering rubbish the soldiers stepped back the desired number of paces' and the volley that followed closed this dramatic chapter of the strike. sive." But it does not remove the ob jection I have had from the beginning of this -'proceeding. What I have been trying to contend tor, and I hope I will be successful, is to secure a hear ing for the men changed with this serious erime. . fins testimony has been taken as the other was, behind d-jstd doors without anybody rep-les-nting the men. "That is the reason 1 shall not de sist, rot withstanding what the Presi dent hf.s said as to the character of it. from, v.ressing for an investigation ' of the subject where especially the men who are charged with the crimes of murder, pur jury and conspiracy can be heard to the end that if they can establish any facts in their favor they have an opportunity to do so. House on District Bills. The House spent most of Monday considering legislation pertaining to the District of Columbia and proposed a number of bills, after which con sideration of the fortifications appro priation bill was resumed, there was considerable debate regarding the proper refenses at the mouth of Chesapeake Bay and notice was given bv Mr. Mavnard. of Virginia, of an amendment providing for surveys looking to that end. A War Of Words. The House took on the appearance of the clog days of the 55th Congress commonly known as the "war Con gress," when altercations between members heeame frenuent. Mr. i. Gaines, of Tennessee, and Mr. Ma- hone, of Pennsylvania, were only pre vented trom meeting in personal en counter bv the intervention of other members. Mr. Gaines was making :i speech on his bill to "dock" mcmber.s pay for absence from the House ana was being twitted bv both sides of the chamber, to his evident embar rassment, when he charged Mr. Ma- hone with being absent from thi House 95 per cent, of the time. Pre vious to this sweeping assertion, Mr. Gaines had read excerpts from Th? Record in relation to the withholding of pay in the 53rd Congress and the part Mr. Mahone had played at that time. When Mr. Gaines had concluded Mr. Mahone rose. He explained how. m the o3rd and ooth Congresses, he had had $7,000 due him and that the then Speaker, Crisp, had given him au order on the sergeant-at-arms for th-i amount, which was paid. Then com ing to the cruix of Mr. Gaines Mr. Mahone thundered: "Any man who charges me with being away from this House 95 per cent of the time, tells an untruth." Mr. Gaines started down the aisle from his seat. "No man can call me a liar," ex claimed the Tennessean. Mr. Mann Interferes. .Then Mr. Mann, of Illinois, who was in the chair, took a hand in tre- altercation. Both men were ordered to their seats, Mr. Mahone obeying the command, while Mr. Gaines stood two seats away from the centre of the chamber shaking both fists and head at the Pennsylvanian. When order had been restored Mr. Mahone again rose. Having been cautinoed by the chair that it was against the rules to address a mem ber in the second person he measur ed his worus saying he "wouid speak Net Provided For. Washington. Special. As reported to the Senate the legislative, execu tive and judicial appropriation "bill does not contain a provision for an increase of the salaries of the Vice President, the Speaker and members of the Cabinet. The House increas ed the salaries to $12,000 a year, but the Senate coram ti tee on- appropria tions has eliminated the provision. Three Held For Grand Jury. Danville, Va., Speeial George Stevens, Fletcher Harris and Albert Adkins, young white men were held for the srand iurv for a primary hearing on the charge of robbing J M. Thomas, of Roanoke, whose body was found on a ravme near the city on the morning of January 2nd. Ste vens turned State's evidence and tes tified that Harris and Adkins rob bed Thomas whie he was in a drunk en stupor. in "the fourth person.', He then said: "The charge of the gentleman from Tennessee that I am away from this House 95 per cent of my time is a deliberate falsehood." Bv a vote of 70 to 1 the Senate passed a bill providing that railway employes" engaged in the handling or trains shall not work more than 16 consecutive hours, which period is to be followed by 10 hours off duty. The one negative vote was cast by Sena tor Petius. This accomplishment was reached after an entire dav spent in consid eration of the subject. The parlia mentary situation was confused dur ing the entire time, caused by the 40 pending amendments and the three substitutes for the original bill, all of which had to be disposed of. The bill, which was finally passed is the one introduced by Sena tor LaFollette and is not in print. It was amended in several resepcts by the Senate. The bill pro vides that under certain contingencies and in case of accident, the time fix ed may be exceeded. , The enforce ment of the law is placed ic. the hands of the inter-State commercey cousis sion and the Federal Couxtfc, the pen- 1T7 Tvrnvidpd beine- a finef not less I than $100 nor more thai $1,000.

The General Assembly of North Carolina met in bi-annual eskn on Wednesday at nti and orgaaid. Mr. Justice, the caucus nomine of the democrat?, was elected speaker vf the ouse, and the Senate wa pre sided over by the lieutenant Korer ror. A number of bills and resolu tions were presented and read by their titles. On Thursday Governor Glenn read his message in person. Friday the House committees ero apointed and a nirmber "t important bills and resolutions introduced, and both the Senate and House got down steadily to work. Mr. Dowd submitted the report of the committee on rules, recommend ing those in force at the last session with wme changes, among them be ing that each Monday the speaker should appoint a committee of three to examine daily the journal before the hour of opening and report to the House whether it was correct; further, that the speaker take th chair at 11 o'clock every day. and that in no case he should be allowed to vote twice on the same question, that is, as a member and a shaker. That no person except members or officers be allowed on the floor or in the lobby in rear of the speaker's desk except those specially lnvueo bv the sneaker. That smoking !e allowed when the House was not in tcssiou; that the committee on judi ciary be divided into two sections: that" the committee ond congressional appo;ntements be abolished and that there be a committee on public serv ice corporations and one on the cor poration commission, in place of the place of the usual one committee. The rules as amended were adopt ed. Bills Introduced. The following bills were lintroduc ed: By Fleming, of Pitt, to pay solic itors a stipulated salary instead oE fees and by Long, of Iredell, one of the same tenor, both going to tin? committee on salaries and fees: by Webb, of Buncombe, to amend the charter of the Cabarrus Savings Bank: by Pharr, of Mecklenburg, to incorporate the Tryon Light and Electric Company: by Long, of Ire dell, to increase the number of com missioners of that county irom three to five and that the two additional ones be appointed by Webb, of Bun combe, to amend Chapter GIG Pub lic Laws 1905, relating to the issue of bonds, by Buncombe and creat ing a highway commission in that county; by Remhardt, of Lincoln, to amend the landlord and tenant act. The General Assembly listened in joint session on Thursday to the read ing of Governor Glenn.s message. The message was read by the Gover nor himself, thus establishing a new precedent, to which a few of the house of representatives took excep tion, having their objections entered upon the journal. After the reading the following business was gone into: Bill to Provide for Insane. A bill introduced to provide for mental defectives creates a commis sion composed of the hospital super intendents and four business men to buy land for white and negro hospi tals for defectives and also addition al land for the preesnt hospitals for the insane; and to provide buildings sufficient to give accomodations for twenty years. Long's bill regarding Iredell coun ty commissioners was pessed, ap pointing H. C. Somers and J. W. Ha ger commissioners to begin their term upon the ratification of the act. At 11:30 o'clock the senate formed in a body and went to the hall of the house to hear Governor Glenn read his message. At 1:30 o'clock the senators re turned to their hall and adopted a joint resolution on Mr. Buxton's mo tion to print 500 copies of the Gov ernor's message. Committees Appointed.
