After the readimr in the House, the message was referred to the com mittee on me; chant marine and is--.Ii -eries, from which a mail subsiily measure has just been reported, in the, Senate the messaue was sent to the committee on cojninerce. The President calls attention to the ;rreat desirability of enactment of legislation to help American ship ping and American trade by eucour ayin? the building nuinhy of lines of larjre and swift steamers to South America and the Orient. For An Increase cf the Navy. An appropriation of about .!)", 000,000 is provided for in the naval appropriation bill agreed ujMni by the House committee ou naval affairs. The bill provides for an additional battleship of the tyjH agreed upon in the naval appropriation bill of lasi year. It also makes provision for two torepdo boat destroyers and appro priates $2,000,000 for submarine. This $2,000,000 is additional to the $1,000,000 for submarines provided in the bill last year, which has not yet been expended. Provision is made for about 3,000 additional sail ors and 900 additional marines. The new battleship provided for in the bill is to be a sister ship of the monster authorized by Congress last year, which the bill requires should "be a lirst-class battleship, carrying as heavy armor and as powerful ar mament as anv known vessel ot its class, to have the highest practicable speed and greatest practicable radius of action." The cost of the new bat tleship is estimated at $10,000,000. To Abolish Pension Agencies. The House voted to abolish all pension agencies throughout the country, IS in number, and centra lize the payment of pensions in the city of Washington. This ection was Jaken on the pesion appropriation bill, after spirited opposition on the part of those having pension agencies in their States. By a vote of "$ to 114 an amend ment offered bv Mr. Dalzell, ot Pennsylvania, restoring the number of agencies to IS as at present, was defeated, and then an amendmeut offered by Mr. Gardner, of Michi gan, consolidating all the agencies in one was adopted without division. The pension apmopriation bill car rying $138,000,000 in round numbers was passed. A message from the President was read relative to insurance, and at 2:30, out of respect to the memory of the late Senator Alg-er, of Michi gan, the House adjourned. A Brief Session. The Senate was in session Satur day only for a little more than an hour, the early adjournr-',ent being taken to permit attendance on the funeral of the late Senator Alger. A few bills of minor importance were passed, but most of the time of the sitting was devoted to the further dis cussion of Senator Hale's resolution providing for an inquiry into the per sonal interest manifested by naval officers in the navy personnel bill. The resolution was ultimately refer red to the committee on naval affairs. The Chald Labor Law. Senator Beveridge occupied the at tention of the Senate throughout the day with a continuation of his argu ment in behalf of his child labor bill. He had but reached the legal and con stitutional phases of the question after speaking for more than four hours and arrangement was made whereby he will continue. In taking the position that as to power. Con gress could exercise any power it saw fit on inter-State commerce, Mr. Bev eridge met a fussilade of questions by his- colleagues and his progress in argument was slow. While he said the power to regulate was absolute, he maintained that the question of policy would always restrain any hurtful regulations. Mr. Beveridge stated: that three fourth of the cotton factories of the South were opposing the bill, that the railroads of the South were op posing it and that the coal mine op erators of the South were - opposing it. He presented an illustrative map showing: the location of the oppos ing industries, and said that in an ticipation of this weighty opposition he should devote the . major portion of his speech to setting forth evi dence of the deplorable conditions he had pictured. This evidence, he said, was all sworn to and in the form of affidavits. FOUR BURNED TO DEATH Mill No. 1 of Cochedo Maanfacturinc Cot2pan7, Dorer, N. IL. Burned to Ground Bodies cf Forx E07 Oper atives, Charred Beycad Hope of Identification, Foad in Ssoking Ruins and it is Believed Another Will be Discovered. Dover, N. II., Sj-eial. Dover's moist dis&fcterou tire, which occurred Saturday, cost the lives of lour and probably live ouug mill operatives and a property lo5. ot half a million dollars. The lire dotroyed Mill No. 1 of the Cochedo Manufacturing Com pany. The bodies of four boy?, char red beyond hope of identification, were found in the smoking ruins, and as five boys are knovn to lw miss ing, it is believed that another lndy will be discovered. The missing' boys are: Charles 'osgrove, aged K yea is. Constautine Klopubms, aged Iti years. John Nicholopulous, aged 15 years. Redden, aged 1; years. Hester, aged 15 years. Several of the injured were hurt while descending by ropes. The tire broke out in the mill not long alter the 500 or more operatives had asernbled for their day's work. Friction from belt generated sparks, which lodged in a mass of cotton and thei flames quickly spread throughout the building. The exits soon became blocked by a struggling mass of mill hands, and many were obliged to jump from the windows. Others se cured ropes and descended to the ground. There were several daring rescues by firemen. Four imprisoned men on the fourth floor were taken out of a window, though not until they had climbed one by one down a stout pole which the firemen had made fast to the top of a ladder too short to reach the window sill. The total loss is $500,000, covered by insurance. 12 Killed in Explosion. Weston, W. Va., Special. Five Americans and seven Italians are known to be dead as the result of an explosion of fire damp in the Penn sylvania Company's mine at Lorenz, W. Va., near Bnchannon, W.

The five Americans and seven Ital ians who were killed, were found about 100 feet back in the mine. Ap parently the 12 men had been over come by gas and died, as their bod ies were not burned. W. P.

GENERAL ALGER IS DEAD Szfered A cite Attack cf Otitrz of Ln&gs at 8 O' Clock aad Expired at 8:45 Wednesday He Appeared ia Usual Health aad Transacted Con siderable Bunnell at War Depart xaest. Wasdiinton. Special. United State I Senator Ku?!l A. Alcer, of Michi gan, dk-d suddenly at his uider.e in thi city st S:45 oVIock Thurxiay morning, following un acute Mtc-k of oedema of the lung's with which he was stricken shorlly after S o'clock. Although Senator Alu-T had not been in good hesith for some tinv bis death was unexpected. The Senator at night was apparently in his usual health. During--the day he transacted co.'isi Jerable LTisjnes and wa rt the Wr.r Department p to a late hour. At the bedside when he parsed away m-re Mfs. Alger and their son, Cjpt. F. M. ASer, and wile, Senator Alger attended the session of the Senate Tuesday and remain ed in the chamber until about 4 o coefC, list suing- to the uebate on the Brownsville affair. The news of the death was at eucc communicated to President Hoose velt and Vice Pre-ideni Fairbanks. Senator Alger is survived by his widow and five children as follows: Mrs. Charles B. Pike, of Chicago, Mrs. H. B. Sheldon, of Detroit; Mrs. William Ij. Bailey, of Ilarisburg, Pa.; Russell A. A lifer, Jr., of Detroit, who is now in Florida, and Captain F. M. Alger. Although entitled by army regula tions to a funeral escort composed of one regiment of infantry, two trooi of cavalry and a battery of field artillery, the family of General Alger has decided that the escort here shall be confiend to a squadron of cavalry. In Detroit the troops at Fort Wayne will furnish the escort. When the President was informed of Senator Alger's death he addressed a note of condolence to Mrs. Alger and accompanied it with a floral of fering. The formal announcement of Sena tor Alger's death was made to the army by Secretary Taft iu the fol lowing order: "The Secretary of War announces with deep sorrow ihe death of the Honorable Russell Alonder Alger, which occurred at his residence m this city." General A!gt?r was Secretary of War during- the edministralion of President McKinley, from March 5, to August 1, 1S99, a period dur ing winch the administration oi the War Department was brought into great prominence through its acli juc in cuniieeuon wim the war with Spain and the military opera tions in the Philippines that'succeed ed it. "General Alger was patriotic, ear nest and most devoted to the inter ests of the army, especially consider ate of the welfare of enlisted men He was a gentle, kind man with great confidence in his friends and associa tes, and was much beloved by his sub ordinates. He was the subject of tin juac- cuiicism necause or the coun try's lack of preparedness for war when war came, although for this he was no wise resposible.'

The need of additional school buildings and bridtre repairs has become so ure-ent in Knoxville that Mayor Heiskell has been requested, by -a vote of the Citv Council in special session to go be fore the Legislature and ask author ity to levy a special 30-cent tax, which, it is estimated, will raise about $60,000 for the purpose. The City Council considered this plan a wiser one than asking authority to issue bnods. A two years' sDecial tax will furnish all the money that ct-ueu lor tue purposes. Shot Dead in Hia Offce. London, By Cable. A dramatic tragedy startled London, when Wil liam Whitely, one of the most uni que, and at the same time, one of the most prominent figures in the buisness world, was shot dead in his store by a youth claiming to be his son. The assassin then attempted to blow cut his o?.n brains. Two Ercthers-in-Lc-s Held. Cupenper, Va., Special Philip J. and James A. Strothers, brothers, were indicted by the grand jury for the killing of Wiliim F. Bywaters, recently, within a hour after he had married their sister.

Speaker Justice sat near Chairman Graham and acted as grand inquisitor. Chairman Gra ham said the question to bo discuss ed this afternoon was whether the passenger rate should be reduced and to what extent. Mr. Fialey Speaks. President Finley, of the Southern, was the first speaker, and made an excellent impression. Speaker Jus tice plied him with questions. He said that if the Legislature would make the passenger rate 3 cent."? straight, with no second-class fare, the Southern was willing to accept it. He declared he could see no rea son for reducing the rate to 2 1-2 cents here. He did not opjose the regulation of railways by the Legis lature, but he did not believe in Leg islatures administering railway af fairs. The present trouble, he said, is not of rates but of lack of facili ties for the business man or the pro ducer to reach his market. He said the Southern had no financial con nection with the South & Western. General Passenger Ageid Ryan, of the Seaboard, was the next speaker. He was loaded with figures about the passenger rates in various States, to show ihat in States where reduc tions had been made tlu increase in travel was not so great as had been expected and that the loss to the companies was not made up. House Committee Endorses Anti Pass Bills. This same committee held a hear ing on two bills. Graham's and Jus- uce s regarding newspaper passes. Graham says his bill is not intend ed to affect newspapers. Justice says his bill puts newspaper people on the same footing as other folks. His bill is the one mainly considered. Graham's bill is the inter-State com merce bill with the provision that this shall not conflict with the State law. Speeches were made by Messrs. H. A. London, John M. Julian, W. C. Dowd, Rev. J. O. Atkinson, Archi bald Johnson and Representative Ja cobson in favor of the amendment offered by the Press Association. Speaker Justice was present, asked numerous questions and insisted up on the endorsement of his position by the committee. Several members of the House committee took a keen interest in propounding questions to Press Association representatives. At the conclusion of the argument the committees went into executive ses sion. The result was that Justice was sustained by a vote of G to 5 by the House committee. The Senate com mittee unanimously decided not to interfere with the present Jaw, thus allowing editors to retain their pres ent rights in this regard. Pas3 Third Beading.

The Legislature is going to be even more liberal than was expected fo the Confederate veterans. The commit tees on pensions will, it is learned Saturday, recommend a bill carrying $450,000 annually, this being an in crease of $17o,000 over the present annual appropriation. The commit tees from the first manifested a very liberal spirit. A favorable report is made on the Senate till making 10 years' separa tion a cause for absolute divorce. Sev eral lawyers appeared in favor of th" bill, which covers only a few case-, one or two hcing perhaps notable. Many of this kind have been intro duced in past years to cover a parti cular case, and only a few years ag there were some notable instances of this. Pass Third Reading. The following hills pased third reading: To revise the charier of Lexington To appropriate $20,000 additional to the Jamestown Exposition, mak ing the total $50,000.
