Special. The IVai-son-Crawford' contested election case will be called up in the House nest Wednesday by Chairman Messick of Election Committee No. 3. , This de cision was reached this morning .after Mi-. Pearson had consulted with the x..e publican members of the committee and several leading Republicans on the floor. Mr. Messick then consulted with the Speaker, who said no would recognize him Wednesday for that purpose. 1 Immediately that decision was reached telegrams were sent to absent Republi can members urging them to return at once or be paired on the case. Every effort was made to keep the fact of the case going to oe caueu up num n. Crawford and his fiiends, but they soon found out what was going on and they also sent for absent Democrats to return i at once. Mr. Pearson used as a lever to have his case called up at this time the reso lution adopted by the Republican State Convention wich has just adjourned. He had copies-of it and circulated them i Aft. about the floor, showing first one of the resolutions and then another. He suc ceeded in working up some sentiment on this score. He did , not succeed, it is said, in convincing Mr. Dnscoll of New York that he (Pearson) should be seat ed. Mr. Driscoll. it will -be recalled, declined to sign the majority, report in favor of Pearson. Neither has he signed the minority report in favor of Craw ford. Mr. Crawford is in a better position now than he Would have been in a feAV weeks ago. Within a week or so the Democratic strength has been increased two votes Mr. Lassiter of Virginia suc ceeding Mr. Epes, dead; and Mr. King .of Utah, Mr. Roberts, who was ex pelled. In a close contest as this case promises to be, two votes count. No prediction can be positively made as to the outcome. If the Republican strength is present Mr. Crawford will probably lose; if not he will certainly win. Both sides are putting forth their best ef forts, to have full party representation. Senator Pritchard and Col; A. B. An ' drews, First Vice-President of the South ern Railway, saw the President to press him for an acceptance of the invitation recently extended to visit Charlotte, N. C, May 22, to attend the exercises in celebration of the one hundred and twenty-fifth anniversary of the Meck lenburg Declaration of Independence. 'a he President said that he -would give a definite. answer m a-few days. Owing . to having accepted invitations to go to , ,r n- i x t Iiedericksburg May 2. and to Antiotam May ."0, the President . may. find it im- possible to go to Charlotte May 22 rl'ent of the North Carolina Iiepublican State Convention of a few days ago. It is said that the colored Republicans feel ouended because sorne representative of their race was not elected a delegate-at-large to the National Convention. The . understanding was that H. P. Cheat ham, Recorder of Deeds of the pistrict, should be the colored representative in . the "Big Four." Representative Charles F. Wr. Dick, chairman of the Ohio State Republican Committee and secreta'ry of the Repub lican National Committee, left Tnsh ington last night for Cincinnati on a political mission of far-reaching import ance. Ostcnsinly the object of his trip is to induce George B. Cox, the Re publican boss of Hamilton county (Cin cinnati) to withdraw from the contest for member of the National Committee for Ohio to succeed Charles L. Kurtz. Colonel Dick is slated by Mr. Hanna and the administration for the place now held by Kurtz. It is known, however, that the chief object of Coloaiel "Di-ek's journey to Cin dinmati at this time is to confer with the od nance guard of' the middle-af-thc-road I'opuilis'ts, who wH'l - ".hold their national convention in that -city next Wednesday. It 3 s an oipen secret that for a month or ni ore agents of the middle-of-the-Toad-ers have been, semiring The country drum nving up a big attend anee for tilt eir con vention next week -and th'at. these a gents have been offering free transportation find 8l expenses at Cincinnati to those . vho will go to the convention as dcle- prates.

Oolcmel Dick, it ntlcnrt lms. lorn tout r'ii-r. in'ati to see to it that the middleof-the a-oaifl eonvention djes whiat is expected Oif it by the Republican .machine 'managers.. He has already earned a reputation as a manipulator of Populist "conventions. It was beeanse he ttiianiputobed one of these "so sncces;?fu!;ly., in 1S07- that he gained the significant sobriquet . of "Check Book Dick." To proye that. the ir.u-knaime wiais well .given the Demoerntic li'Shed a fae simile of a check given , by Co:lonel Diek to Hugo' Pryar, of Cleve-Jan-d, .'Cor.925.to induce Pryor to (attend the Papuliit caurenttion at Columbus and a vote to put a separate ticket in the field instead or fusing with the Demoer-ats. Colonel Dick is expected to see to it that the middle-of-the-road .national con vention puts a ticket in tihe field next week in opposition to that winch will 'be .nominated -on the same dav by the regular Populists in session at .Sioux Falls. It is the hope of the ' Republican managers to so split the Populists as to seriously endanger Bryan an the close States of the . West, particularly Kan sas, Washington,- Idaho, Colorado and the Dakotas. Colonel Dick will return to Washington before the convention meets at Cincinnati; expecting thereby to conceal the real purpose of. his hur ried visit to the Queen City. Senator Butler of North Carolina ; Sen ator -Pettigrew of South Dakota; M. C. (t a nock of Virginia: N T. Fitzgerald of West Virginia and George II. Shibley of New York headed a party of Eastern Populists that left over the Baltimore and Ohio today 'for Sioux Falls. S. D., to attend the Populist National Conven tion to be held. there next week.

"The action of , the con vention was a most graceful -and gra cious compliment," said he, "and one 'whidh I appreciate highly; but I am net a candidate in -any sense of the word." - Mr. K itch in left here this mam ing for home.

Bishop James M. Thoburn discussed today his plan for raising an army of 100,000 workers to fulfill -the bishop's call. Bishop Tho burn's plan ha? been freely debated by members of the general conference and! probably will ?ome before - that body early this month in the form of a memor ial presented by some delegate. Bishop Thoburn's plan contemplates briefly au organization of church mem bers to become, evangelists and by sys tematized efforts to gather in 2,000,000 souls and $20,000,000 before the close of the century. "I cannot gie my plans in detail at this time," said Bishop Thoburn, "for when I came to the conference I had them only in outline. Since coming here and -.finding the interest that is mani fested, I can say it is probable that ft will be before the conference soon. "In a way my plan may -be compared to the military policy of the United States. There s a large volunteer army scattered throughout the country. Say that a war is :jibont to begin, what has the government;, that it can lay is hands upon? The recruiting sergeants. Surely there are a latgo number ot recrnitlug sergeants to be found in every congre gation, every district and every annual conference throughout the country. "Could the members of the church be induced to rally in support of such a movement? That depends on how it is managed. It can not be done unless the right kind of men and women are put in charge of it and the right plans adopt od for carrying if forward. It can be stifled at the outset, byj a perfunctory and heart less policy, or jit may be organized and prosecuted so lis to make itself felt far into the next century. "The first step in such a movement will be to select live or six men who have had experience in Christian work and let them decide on the best plans for putting the idea into effect. The great point to be settled first is that an effort of this kind sl(all have the approval of the conference 4 not alone a general way, but that it has its solemn sanction and authority, t Delegates to the conference were more prompt than muni in taking their seats in the auditorium threatre at the onen ing session today. This wjfs due to-the announcement by Bishop Warren that 1 1 1 . 1 . iieiestiier iir- ueiegnuons would he ex pected to be i if their seats at 8:."0. The devotional service today were conduct! by Fayette I,J Thompson, of Michigan, Bishop Walden presided over the ?s session.

The Emperor William in proposing " the health or lmperor Francis .loseph at a court dinner last night, said the visit of the Austrian ruler manifested the firmness and surety of the triple alliance. Though often mis understood and deluged with criticism and derision, he said the three powers had hitherto succeeded in maintaining peace. He added that the triple alli ance was now rejrarded as a safeguard to the peace of the whole world. Not Popular in Italy London. May 5. Despite the reitera tion of official gazettes in Berlin, Vienna and Rome as to the solidarity of the triple alliance, there is a growing feeling in Italy that it is not altogether a good thing tor Italians to be dragged behind the German Emperor. That feeling has always existed in Italy and has never lacked exponents in -press of parlnnont The noveltjr consists in the fact that discontent i: now more pronuoueed and expressed m a louder voice. nil Italian public men are plucKmg up courage to suggest an alternative policy of an alliance or understanding with France and Russia or an abstention from foreign entanglements. The present visit of the Prince of Naples to Berlin has in duced several deputies to deposit in tin bureau of the Chamber of -Deputies no tices addressed to the -Minister of For eign Affairs, all practically challenging the triple alliance policy.

SOLONS CHEW THE RAG A Long Winded Debate in the House. . INSANE NEED MORE ROOM Proposition to Buy a Large Tract of High Priced Land for New Buildings Voted Down -Amendment Adopted Permitting the Acceptance of a' Site' If Anybody Wishes to Giro One The Sundry Clril Bill Passed Washington, May .5. The Senate amendments to the Army appropriation bill were disagreed to by the House to day and the bill was sent to conference. Messrs. Hull of Iowa, Marsh of Illinois, arid Jett of Illinois, were appointed con ferees. The House then resumed the consider ation of the Sundry Civil appropriaton bill. The pending question was Mr. Mudd'.s amendment striking out the ap propriation of $210,000 for the purchase of 140 acres of land for the proposed extension of the government insane asy lum. By a vote of 40 to 37 the appropriation was stricken from the bill. Thereupon TMr. Cannon offered an amendment au thorizing the Secretary of the Interior to acquire, by condemning proceedings, this land at a cost of not to exceed S2i 0,000. , Mr. Cannon's amendment was as fol lows: "To enable the Secretary of Interior to acquire by condemnation, at a total cost not exceeding $210,000. which sum is hereby appreciated, not less than 140 acres of land adjoining the uresent build ing site of the government hospital for the insane; provided, that if said amount of land cannot be acquired by con demnation as herein provided. the amount herein appropriated shall be ap plied to the construction of buildings for special classes of patients on the present grounds of the hospital, suitable for the extension as herein proposed." Mr. Payne suggested that this in effect accomplished just what the first item proposed. Mr. Cannon said it was not the same, in his judgment. Mr. DeArmond offered a substitute authorizing the Secretary of the Interior to accept a donation of 500 acres of land at some other point, if it is offered, and if no donation were offered to buy 500 acres somewhere at a cost not to exceed $100 an acre upon which an in sane asylum shall be built. Mr. Cannon raised a point of order against this substitute, nud some time was spent in arguing the point. Mr, Dalzell. in the chair, ruled that Mr. De- nnond s substitute was subject to the point of order Mr.. DeArmond then addressed himself to Mr. Cannon's amendment, and argued in favor of constructing another asylum at some point in the United States other than in ashington. Mr. annon said the House was con fronted by a situation. There are 2,000 patients at St. Elizabeth s and more on the way. Every inch of space is taken and no place to put them.' Even the halls and corridors are ussl. It might be possible, lie said, to build, after term ow years, another asylum, but this is an immediate emergency. Mr. Benton, of Missouri, a member of the Committee on Appropriations, then took the lloor. He said that in S. out of 100 cases coming before the Com mittee on Appropriations he was willing to trust the judgment of Mr. Cannon but he could not folio whim in this in stance. He opposed the purchase of ad ditional buildings on the land already owned by the government. Mr. Grout, of Vermont, advocated Mr. Cannon's amendment. He said that possibly the land is bein? held at a high figure, but the' land was desirable . for tin purpose in view by condemnation. Mr. Loud, of California, said the lant is nor worm to excoeii sjuu an acre The House is being called upon to pay ?i. .. an acre. Mr. Cannon said that was hardly fair statement. The jury of condemna tion would fix the value. .Mr. Loud s.-1 id the House was lcing held up ami subjected to a sjMK-ies of highway robbery. If there was no lam available ho might be willing to 1h hel up and robbed 'in order to expedite the building of the addition. But. he in sisfed, there is enough land now owned by the government to build on. Mr. Allen, of Mississippi, made a plea for the appropriation. He said he ha jKM-sonaliy viewed the conditions at the asylum and fonnd a deplorable state of affairs. The necessity for relief was urgent. . Mr. Pearre.'of Maryland, recalled the fact that yesterday Mr. ('annon had ob jeeted to the condemnation plan, claim ing that condemnation was not always economical. He ironically remarked that he was now -convinced that Mr. Cannon was right yesterday and that condemna tion was a bad idan. Mr. Cannon said, there was a differ ence in the proposition. Yesterday he understood fh' suggestion to le for con demnation without limit, whereas this proposition..fixed a limit of cost. Mr. Pearre replied that his idea had contemplated n limit also. He thought it-would le'1otter to build on the land already owned by the government, and then utilize neighboring lands in Prince George's county for farming lands. Mr. Norton, of Ohio, made a plea for the amendment. lie asked why the cry of extravagance was raised against these poor and afflicted persons. Sup pose land does cost $1.50o an ac-e; is it proposed to put the insane asylum on wheels and move it around hunting for 'cheaper land? '. Mr. Ridgeley. of Kansas, opposed the amendment and said it was a case o , sand-batrtring the government. Mr. DeArmond then offered another substitute, appropriating $50,0fo for temporary, accommodation of patients in the insane asylum. The substitute was lost 49 to 47. The vote 'then recurred npon the amendment of Mr. Cahuon. It was lost on viva voce vote. The status ofthe bill at this stage was that the additional land is not to be loniht. but that an appropriation of $25,000 ah&ll be nxada Tar clearing and jCTAdiojt land already owned by the government, and ap appropriation of !7.",0K) i au thorized ' for the construction of an ad dition to. .the asylum upon the land now owned. ' Mr. De.rmond then offered an amend ment providing that the addition should In constructed on laud donated for the purpose. This was ruled out on a point of order. Mr. DeArmond then modified his amendment so as to provide for erection on land owned by the government or that may be donated "within the dis-trif-t of Columbia.' Mr. Cannon said there was no objec tion to this amendment, and it was adopted. This concluded the debate on the in sane asyslum item. The Sundry Civil bill was pa.sed at 5 o'clock and- the House adjourned. COLLEGE ATHLETICS Track Games at Princeton and New7 Haven Some Record Smashing Princeton, X. J May 5.

" MAJOR PITCHER A GAT JUDGE ' He Rnlns a Bnll Fighter's Business by Cutting OAT His Qnene navana. May 5. 'A'ie recent decision of Major Pitcher, sitting as a Judge in a police court, in sentencing Jose Ma calvo, a Spanish bull-fighter, to pay a fine of $10 and ; to have his hair cut, has kicked up a fine row in all the Ha vana papers. Macalvo "wore a coleta, which is queue worn by all bull-fighters. without which they cannot- go into the ring. . - Macalro stopped off at IlaTaiia- on his ' way to Mexico, where he had a contract as a bull-fighter. He got drunk and -was hauled xlef ore Major Pitcher, who fined him' $10. As Macalvo-was Icav- . ing the court Major Pitcher noticed the. coleta and ordered it cut off, which wa " done, despite Macalvo's - protests. The bull-tighter declares that he cannot fol low his vocation now until the coleta grows again, and he has consulted a lawyer about suing the government for the amount of damages he has sustained. The newspapers, whichare- unfriendly anyway o Major Pitcher's court, cite this act as an unwarrantable infringe ment of personal liberty and unblufhin? use of military power.

In the country districts, however, the Re publicans had son better luck, and in Matanzas they swept the whole city.
