Steers Tells His Story Said That He Made Remarks Reflecting on the Character of Mrs. Kirby. Alexandria, Va., May 13. The police court room was crowded at 9 o'clock this morning with an eager crowd of spectators in anticipation of sensation al developments . in the Steers-Kirby cowhiding affair, noted in yesterday's dispatch. Steers was then placed upon the stand and was subjected to a rigid examination; He said: "The first intimation I had of the intention of . Mrs. Kirby was when she assaulted me. I retreated to the side walk on the north - side of the street and defended myself as best I could. I . drew my pistol, but handed it to a by-stander, with the remark that ?I could lick Kirby without ; a pistol. " K.iroy s attorney, jvir. lirent, insisted on knowing what the remarks were which Steers was to prove, when he was interrupted by an objection from the defence's attorney. "I mean to prove, your honor," said Mr. Brent, "that the assault was pro voked, and that Mr. and Mrs. Kirby would have been justified in putting him six feet under ground." The Mayor then questioned the wit ness by asking him if he had said in criminating things about Mrs. Kirby and Steers answered "I did." The witness also acknowledged that he referred to Mrs. Kirby when he used the 'term, d old w to Officer Knight. He denied having cocked his pistol, and only struck Kirby after they clinched. The remarks that he made reflecting on Mrs. Kirby were made to her husband; he had'not made them to any one else. This closed the testimony. v , . Steers was fined $20 for carrying con cealed weapons. The Kirbys were fined $5 for assault. The impression here is the affair is not ended, and it may be a duel in the next twenty-four hours.

"GET AT THE TRUTH AND PUNISH THOSE WHO ARE GUILTY." Sock less Simpson Beaten In a Tilt With the Great White Czar The Speaker Unable to Inform Jerry Where He Was At. Washington, May 13. After agree ment to adjourn over until Monday, Senator Allen's Chapman resolution was taken up. Chapman's anxiety to shield and save the guilty parties from exposure, disgrace and punishment, Senator Al- len said, he could understand. "But as the representatives of seventy mil lion of people," proceeded Mr. Allen, "we cannot afford to permit Mr. Chapman the representative of a powerful organ ization, which, it has .been , charged, exercises great influence over this body, to go unwhipped." ' The discussion assumed a legal and technical phase, Messrs. Faulkner "(West Virginia), White (California), and Spooner (Wisconsin) arguing on the law applying to Chapman. ; Mr. Hoar moved to refer the resolu tion to the committee on privileges and elections. Mr. White argued that the .pardon ing power was exclusively an execu tive function, and it was not; for the Senate to suggest methods to the exe cutive or to curtail that power. Answering a question of Mr. Allen, Mr. White said the right of the Ne braska Senator to urge this resolution was not questioned, but it was a ques tion of propriety whether the Senate should" trench upon executive power. Mr. Allen replied rather warmly-that on questions of propriety he would as sume the responsibility. Mr. Daniel (Virginia) proposed . a modification of the 'resolution so that all reference to executive clemency be struck out, leaving the resolution to require Chaipman to appear before the Senate and purge himself of contempt. Mr. Pettus (Alabama) urged that the investigation be opened fresh, requiring witnesses to appear and testify, instead of punishing them for past misdeeds. Mr. Chandler (New Hampshire). asked why, if a petition was being circulated n the Senate for the pardon of Chap man, and Senators were being impor tuned to sign it, it was not proper to consider a. resolution on the subject. Was it necessary, he asked, that a petition in remonstrance be prepared? Mr. White answered that anything in the line of remonstrance could bet ter be made by personal appeal or letter rather than as the act of the Senate seeking to direct the course of the executive. ' When Mr. Tillman (South Carolina) endeavored to question Mr. Chandler, the latter suggested that the South Carolina Senator observe the rule of sitting down during the reply. "When you play ball you always stand up," said Mr. Tillman, amid laughter. Mr. Chandler went on to say that if there 'were any Senators -who had en gaged In speculation in sugar stock which God forbid is the case then four years have obliterated the evi dence. The old investigation had fail ed: the tree had fallen and it ought to lie. It would be a preposterous, pro position, he said, after the tribulations of: 'the committee, of the courts and of the newspaper- press, that the wit ness Chapman should be .pardoned. Mr. Chandler said he could not con ceive that any executive should grant such a pardon. It would establish that, after conviction, and the conviction sustained by the "frnited States Supreme court, the accused can go to the White House and get a pardon, or could come to the Senate to be, relieved of the con viction. The Senator said he could" not believe any such lame and impotent conclusion would' come from the in vestigation. Senator Tillman made a sensational speech, in the course of the debate, on brinring Chapman before the bar of the Senate. He said the Senate should not go after Chapman, but should learn whether Senators nad ' speculated m sugar stock. There were published charges, he said, that Senators had speculated In sugar stock within the last week. Instead of looking to Chap man, he said, the Senate might better call on Havemeyer and other Sugar Trust grandees. - Referring to the last investigation, he said: "We want to know whether our committee was bought, and punish them and the men who bought them." "It seems to me," said Mr. Tillman, "that we are not after Chapman; that the original investigation was not in tended to punish Chapman, biit to dis cover whether any Senator on this floor had been guilty of using his of ficial position to make money by specu lation in stocks, Which were influenced by his action as a Senator on the com mittee which reported the tariff bill. It is not worth while to try to cover up this matter with badinage and flippance. The Senator from "New Hampshire will excuse me. I dc not intend that as any reflection upon his language, but it does appear to, me that he treated it rather flippantly. "There are today In the newspapers of this country charges floating about and being sent broadcast, signed by correspondents of the gallery, to the effiect that last week, when the new tariff bill was reported with a change in the sugar schedule, three Senators had speculated In sugar stocks.- We SENAI0R3 mm have another stench on our hands, and lusieaa oi it being a differential in fa--vor of the trust of a' third of ront as that was, it is now two-thirds in tavor or tne trust. "There are two correspondents who nave over their own signatures chared that Senators have speculated within tne last week and made money. Now, if you want to Investigate, you hav a new reason to investigate. If you in tend to get at the true inwardness of the matter, to get at the truth and to punish those who are guilty, say so and do so, or else hush. That is the whole sum and substance of it. We do not want Chapman. We want Hayemeyer.' At 2 o clock the Cuban resolution went over until 2 o'clock Tuesday at the request of Senator Morgan. The debate on the Chapman resolu tion proceeding, Senator Gray, chair man of the investigating committee, reviewing its works iThe Chapman resolution was referred, nflttee, and at 2:25 p. m., after a brief executive session, the Senate adjourned until Monday. HOUSE. - "Washington, May 13. What promised to be an exceedingly tame, flat and unprofitable session of the House, was this morning turned into one of the noisiest and most boisterous of this Congress It' was all caused by Jerry Simpson and his purpose to require the Speaker to appoint the committees, upon which policy of refusal on the part of the Speaker, the House, by a majority vote, has set the seal of its approval, despite Democratic protest. Mr. Simpson, set the House into a whirlwind of excitement. His point of "no quorum" was riiet by the Speak- er's'ability in counting a quorum, and his objection- to the reading of the journal was brushed aside by the great White Czar. Mr. Simpson was looking for trouble, but he did not get it; but hercaused plenty of it. Mr. Simpson directed bitter invectives against "the tyrannical and Czar-like rulings of the Speaker and the base and highly rep rehensible actions . of . the Republican majority in delaying all needed legis lation : by their infamous do-nothing policy." Simpson s words produced a howl of disapproval from the Republican side. Messrs. Dingley, Stone, Payne and others called him to order, which only nduced the Kansas statesman to desig nate Mr. Payne as a "groveling creatura of the Speaker, who does his bidding in order to get on a good committee." Twice, on motions made by Mr. Bailey arid Mr." Bland, the House voted to-a44ow Mr. Simpson to proceed. Again did Hr. Dingley object, and the Speaker ruled Mr. Simpson out of order, saying he did. riot care for Mr. Simpson s vitu perative personal attack, "but that such ;a speech only did harm and no good. JSIrr Terry,, of. Alabama, maae an other' motion to allow Mr. Simpson - to go on, and for the third time the Dem ocrats voted to allow Mr. Simpson to have his say. . The . vote resulted 71 ayes and 86 noes. .A division was called on this and an aye and no vote, was taken, the House refusing-,; by a vote of 96 toSl, to allow Mr! Simpson to proceed. - . - On the announcement of the vote Mr. Simpson inquired: . "Where am I at, Mr. Speaker?" Amid roars of laughter the Speaker gravely remarked: "The present occu pant of the chair has never been able to discover any one who could establish that particular -fact." The conference report on the Indian appropriation bill was presented. The principal contention in the bill is the Senate amendment opening the Utah gilsonite lands to occupation. By agreement this matter went over until Monday. : . ; i ' Other items in the report were agreed to and the House adjourned .until Mon-r day. DUTY ON RICE. insufficient to Protect Interests of Rice Growers. ... ' Washington, May 13 The Southern rice growers are here- in force and are making a vigorous protest against the changes made by the Senate Finance Committee in the rice schedule , of the Dingley 'bill. They were amply satis fied with the Dingley bill as it. passed the House, but are up in arms against the Senate amendment.. In the or iginal bill, clean rice was protected to the extent, of cents a pound; un clean had i4 cents, and rough cent. Under the new dispensation, of things in the Senate these duties are cut in two, and the gap between unclean and clean, rice Is made so great that the rice millera will not need the Ameri can crop until, all other avenues, of supply are exhausted. There is , thus practically no protection to the do mestic rice grower. The delegation here hope that in the general wreck of schedules and crush of industries that are sure to come in the tariff bill in its struggle for passage they will save their product from utter destruction. The Wilson bill gave the rice region along the tide-waters of the South Atlantic and th Gulf of Mexico a se vere blow, from which It is still suffer ing, and the Republican party has been looked to as the Moses to lead the industry out of the wilderness. The Senate bill practically continues the Wilson bill rice schedule, which gave the rice, trust all the advantage It sought. The rice growers are asking to be heard before th duty is finally fix ed, and they are making a man-to-man canvass of the. Senate. They seem to feel sure of satisfactory treatment by the House. Jailed for Spitting on a Car Floor. San Francisco,1 May 13 Millionaire W. B. Bradbury, who was recently ar rested and fined $5 for spitting on the floor 'of a street car, was arrested again last night for the same offense. Today he was sentenced to twenty four hours In pail. His attorney will sue out a writ of habeas corpus. Brad bury declares that the anti-spitting or dinance is Idiotic and any free-born American has a right to spit where and when he pleases. Mysterious Murder. Rochester, N. Y May 13. The bod of William H. Peart was found faca downward In the grass In front of the Nazareth House of St, Andrew's church early this morning. He had been shot through the heart. No clue to the murderer has been found. ft Startling Information is Received by a Commit tee of the Senate. NEWS GREIITEDPROfOUND IMPRESSION HUNDREDS OF AMERICANS IN CUBA IN A STARVING CONDITION. If the President's Information Were Made Public Indignation In This Country Would be Beyond Con trol. . Washington, May 13. What looks like a crisis In the Cuban situation seems imminent-today. Both the Pres ident an the Senate Foreign Affairs Committee maintain absolute secrecy in ; regard to the . matter. When the committee convened today Chairman Davis laid before it a brief of the cor respondence prepared by the State department. Chairman Davis and Sen ators Foraker and Morgan related the incidents connected with their visit to the White House yesterday, and the in terview with Secretary Sherman. The correspondence seen by the sub committee and submitted this morn ing, in the shape of a brief, created a profound impression upon- the com mittee. This brief opened their eyes to the fact that the representations of the Spanish Government and the pro nunciation of Weyler were not only misleading, but absolutely untrue. There was not a dissenting voice In the committee room with, respect to the policy, that should be pursued. The sentiment was r unanimously in favor of a resolution, such as Mr. Morgan is pushing, although some urged even more drastic measures. The only dif ference of opinion was on the question as to when was the proper time to act. One of the gravest matters brought out in the correspondence is that re lating to the destitution of American citizens on the island. The committee has a list of heads of families repre senting over 100 Americans who are said to be in a starving condition. They are represented to be corralled in towns and unable to get out for food even if they had the means to procure It. The correspondence represents that there are thousands of Cubans in this condition. . The statement comes from persons who have seen the official reports from Cuba that if the report were made pub ic it would probably lead to massa cres of American citizens in Cuba and to war with Spain. The popular in dignation in this country would be be yond control. Mr. Morgan asked today that his resolution be made the special order for two o'clock Tuesday, and it is not believed that, in the face of the facts nown to Senators, any objection will be made to this. There is a perfect understanding between the President and Foreign Affairs Committee and the delay until Tuesday is in the pub ic interest. The resolution which is pending in the Senate is as follows: "Joint resolution declaring that a condition, of public war exists in Cuba, and that strict . neutrality shall be maintained: "Resolved. That a condition of miblic war exists between the Government of Spain and the Government proclaim ed, and for some maintained by force of arms by the people of Cuba, and that the United States of America shall maintain a strict neutrality be tween the -contending, do wers, accord- ng to each and, all the rights of bel igerents in the ports and territory of the United States." There will be a practically unanimous expression of opinion .in favor of the resolution by the. Foreign Relations Committee- Some may raise the con stitutional question against it. but will not urge it very hard; but will at the same time express sympathy with Cuba and say that some action ought to be, taken, but maintain the action should be by the executive and not by Congress. . . Senator Gallinger introduced a Joint resolution in the Senate today appro priating $50,000 for the relief of suffer- ng Americans in Cuba. . The resolu tion went to the Foreign" Relations Committee. It is expected that the President will send, a message to Congress Monday asking that the necessary appropria-1 tion be made.

They will see Fltzslmmons land on CorlK-tt's Jaw when the Califomlan is down. A foul? There is not the shadow of a doubt of it. But as to Its effect on the result of the fight, there Is only on thing to be said. Corbett would have leen knocked out anyway. The Califomlan himself will admit this. It was the solar-plexus punch that did the business, not th foul rap on the Jaw. Nevertheless the blow was a foul technically, and when seen on the big canvas sheet the public will Judge for themselves as to Its foul Intent and th damage it occasioned. Expelled Boys Reinstated.

Washington, May 13. Transit tariffs were again forced to the attention of thes ub-commlttee of the first commis sion of the universal postal congress at the session of that committee today. This is the question about which' so much has been written of late and one of the questions which has induced such acrid discussions and undignified proceedings in the Congress. Jpf the question were put to a fair and square test the transit countries would be largely outvoted. There ar three governments which it Is positive. ly known would vote for free and Im mediate transit who cannot just now afford to antagonize Great Britain. These governments are Sweden, Spain and Japan. These delegates, could they be assured of a combination which would defeat the British combination, would vote against her, but they can not afford to oppose her without the , certainty of successful opposition. The attitude of the United States is uncertain. It favors the abolition of tht transit tariffs as being a great detri ment to the International postal ser vice.. The United States Is In a dilemma. It wants to be polite in the diplomatic sense of the word and wants to Join the South American combination against transit tariffs. It is quite probable that it will not vote at all. The matter Is so close that it may de velop that the United States has the telling vote in the congress, and then this country will be between two fires. It is quite probable that the matter will be brought to the attention of the cabi net at Its next meeting. The question Is, shall the United States vote In th . congress tEe way it wants to vote -and the way its Interests dictate that it should vote, or will It be so polite as to allow Great Britain and her allies to carry their points and levy a tax on every country which sends mall . through the, transit countries?
