CONTRACT SYSTEM.
Many Measures Go Through the Sen
ate?The Shipping Bill
Taken Up.

question was on the adoption of the con
ference report upon the Philippine tariff
bill. On a. rising: division the vote stood:
Ajes. KG; noes, 65. Messrs. McCall (Mass.).
Heatwole (Minn.) and Llttlefleld (Me.), re
publican*. voted with the democrats against
the adoption of the report.
Mr. Payne, the majority leader, then de
manded the ayes and noes and the roll was
called.
The report was adopted?l.TS to
Mr. Llttlefleld (Me.), McCall (Mass.) and
lleatwole (Minn.) voted with the democrats
against the adoption of the report. The
House then went into committee of the
whole and resumed the consideration of
ihe bill to classify the rural free delivery
service and place the carriers under the
c ?ntract system.
Mr. Landis (Ind.), the first speaker today,
opposed the bill. Most of the shame and
discredit cast upon the government in the
past, he said, had been in connection with
the contract system.
Mr. Landis declared that there was abso
lutely no public demand for the passage
of the pending measure.
Mr. Maddox (Ga.> also spoke against the
bill. He predicted that if the contract
system was established in the south ne
groes would carry the mails below Mason
and Dixon's line.
Mr. Smith (Ky.) advocated the passage of
the bill. He thought that politics would
continue to control in the appointment of
carriers; nevertheless, he believed the best
and cheapest service could be obtained
through the contract system.

The committee placed a provision in the
bill providing that all the additional clerks
and other employes who were rendered
necessary because of the increased work
incident to the war with Spain and now
emploved In the several departments of the
government shall be placed in the classified
service as of their present grade or rate or
compensation and shall be continued In
the several departments where now em
nloved without further examination, sub
ject, however, to transfer, promotion or re
moval as are other clerks in the classified
service. This provision placed in the bill
bv the Senate committee takes the place of
the House provision in effect that the tem
porary service of this class of clerks should
be extended for the term of one yearfrom
June ?>, 1002. and giving the President
authority to transfer all of them to the
classified service. The provision is of very
widespread importance, as it P'ace?
the classified service many hundreds of
clerks. The legislative, executive and ju
dicial bill itself includes appropriations ag
gregating $5l?.O0O for the War Department
alone for this class of clerks.
No Books lor Public Library.

Columbia for general use as a part of .hat
llbrarv is stricken from the bill. Ihis
paragraph of the bill also provides that

Kress anv or such books not required by
the Secretary of the Interior as specified In
the provision found to be valuable for the
collection of the Library of Congressshall
be turned over to that institution, and th s
provision is also stricken from the bill. It
is understood that the Interior Department
strongly objected to being singled ?ut as a
department which should have its library
divided up in this manner. The committee
in striking out this provision of the bill is
not necessarily on record against the gen
oral proposition of having books in the
various departmental libraries not needed
for them for their uses turned over to the
public library or to the Library of Con
gress. but thought it best to enact no legis
lation on the subject until such time as a
ireneral proposition is made which will
apply to all the libraries In the various de

WILL GRANT BEQUESTS.
Treasury Will Pay Out Oold in the
West for Deposits in the East.
Secretary Shaw has received a number
of applications from New York bankers
asking for permission to deposit gold in the
subtreasury and withdraw equal amounts
from the subtreasury at San Francisco. Al
though these applications aggregate in
amount from *50,000,000 to $00,000,000, the
treasury officials feel no uneasiness in con- 1
stuuence, as it !s understood that the ac
tual amount of gold needed In San Fran
cisco will hardly exceed a total of $20,
000,000, and that the applications in excess
of this amount were made with a view to
ascertaining what the treasury would do in
case the aggregate should reach the larger
sum. Secretary Shaw will grant the re
quests for transfers so far as actual busi
ness needs require.

Doctors Unanimous in Case

of Mary Johnson.
i d
AUTOPSY SO REVEALED
*xl>
PATIENT WAS VIOLENT AND WAS
STRAPPED TO BED.
Unable to Take Liquids and Suffered
Great Agony?Search for
Dog.
Mary Johnson, the colored woman who
was taken from her home, 13 Liberty
street, to the Freedman's Hospital yester
day afternoon, suffering from unmistakable
symptoms of hydrophobia, died there at
7 o clock this morning, after having endur
ed great agony. At the autopsy, held late
this afternoon, the physicians were unani
mous in the opinion that death was due
to hodrophobia. There was found oedema
of the brain, a congested condition that is
always manifest In cases of that disease.
The woman throughout the time that she
was In the hospital was unable to swal
low any liquid and it was w!th the utmost
difficulty that medicines were administered.
During the night she was violent and It be
came necessary to strap her to the bed.
Although the health department has
been unable to find a dog suffering from
the rabies in the neighborhood where the
woman is said to have been attacked, Dr.
vv. c. oodward, the health officer. Is con
fident that the case was one of undoubted
Hydrophobia. A dog answering to the de
scription given by the woman was found
in the neighborhood, the property of a
policeman. This dog is not rabid, and is
said to have never shown any signs of
raoles. Dr. Woodward says that a dog
with rabies would not have lived this long.
?wi ? ?cifs not be,,eve the d?g now Identi
fied is the one that attacked Mary John
son.
Woman Badly Bitten.
?VNhen Dr. Woodward was informed yes
terday afternoon that the case at Freed
man s Hospital had developed symptoms
of hydrophobia, and the attending physi
cian had given it as his opinion that the
case was unquestionably one of that dread
disease, he determined to make a personal
investigation. He called at the hospital
Jfarned all the facts connected with
the history of the case. It appears that
u r^Pman waa bitten Saturday, February
The Imprint of a dog's tooth was dis
cernible on her right wrist, and in two
places on the forehead above the eye. It
usually requires six weeks for rabies to
develop In a human being, but Dr. Wood
ward accounts for -?ie quicker results in
this case from the fact that one of the
bites was immediately over the eye an 1
probably penetrated the large optic nerve,
thus being ^uiiekty and almost directly car
ried into the brain.
The patient in -her lucid moments said,
as she had idone;before being taken to the
hospital, that she had been attacked while
walking in the, neighborhood of 13th and
\V streets northwest. She described the
dog as a black collie and said the animal
sprang upon, her jtvlthout provocation. Dr.
U oodward does-, not believe that a dog
would thus have attacked the woman un
less he was suffering from the disease.
The black obllie dog. located by the health
office as stated, is a docile animal end has
never been^known to have bitten anyone.
Wounds Were Cauterized.
When the ,woman was bitten she imme
diately wont to the Children's Hospital
nearby and7 th?' wounds were carefully
cauterized.'" effects of the animal
bites were fel? by the woman until three
weeks after the attack. Saturday night
last she complained of having a headache
and feeling* b:yi generally.- Sunday night
her illness bccame more pronounced. Dr
Hubbard Gfflette was called in. It is said
that he suspected hydrophobia from the
first, but did not intimate such a thing,
p Again during Sunday night Dr. Gillette
was called ifi, and Sunday morning the
woman was taken to Freedman's Hospital,
where she gradually grew worse until her
death this morning. She was delirious
most of the time she was at the hospital.
hen she waa herself she complained of
pains in the chest and shortness of breath.
When the doctor touched her wounds she
declared they were all right aifd It was not
the bites that were hurting her, but the
trouble was in her chest. The woman is
said to have never had any fear of hydro
phobia, and the doctors do not put any
faith in the statements made that the dis
ease Is sometimes purely the result of im
agination. They declare that in this case
at any rate, there was absolutely no imagi
nation. t, "
Had No Pear of Going Mad.
Before going to the hospital the woman
was advised by some of her friends to con
sult a physician concerning the bites. She
scouted the idea that anything serious
would result, ana said she had absolutely
no fear of "going mad." No one of the
attending physicians, including the hos
pital staff, suggested hydrophobia to the
woman, and she did not suggest it to any
Dr. Woodward says that he learned she
was ordinarily a quiet woman, without the
slightest trace of nervousness in her make
up. She did not have a fear of water as Is
popularly supposed to be the case 'in all
hydrophobia cases in the advanced stages
of the disease. All the same, she was un
able to drink water or any other liquid, on
account of the spasms in her muscles, and
waa unable to take a long breath because
of the spasms of the muscles of inspiration
In the last stages of the disease the wo
man was extremely nervous and tossed
about on her bed in great agony apparently
The doctors were unable to hold her hands
or to feel her pulse. Dr. Woodward de
clared that the disease resembled nothing
else than hydrophobia. The symptoms
were those common to no other disease
than the one mentioned.
Experiments Will Be Made.
After visiting the woman at the hospital
twice. Dr. V\ oodward sought to find some
trace of the dog in the case. The black
collie above referred to. belonging to a
policeman, was located, and a number of
people in the vicinity declared that he must
have been the dog. The animal was ex
amined and wa# found to be in perfect
health and notfthe least bit vicious. Pound
master El lutein.; also examined the dog and
pronounced Tjim^healthy.
Dr. Woo<tyar4 . hopes to be able to make
some experiments with rabbits from the
tissues obtained; at the autopsy this after
noon and la #pld that in this manner a
true know^g^iftt the disease will be ob
tained. T^f eaWjerimc-ats will necessarily
occupy-from..tw?'|o three weeks. Dr. Wood
ward succeeded,Jn preventing the embaim
lng of the body until the autopsy could be
held. About fojir years ago a young man
named SprTngman died in this city from
what was gaid 4tg be hydrophobia. On ac
count of the immediate embalming of the
body no teffi c^ld be made.

Work
Special Dispatch t? The Evening Star.
CUMBERLAND, Md.. March 4.?There
are three serious break? along the Chesa
peake and Ohio canal between Hancock
and the Round Top cement works, three
miles west. The surface washes between
Cumberland and Hancock are numerous. I
The Baltimore and Ohio has at least 600
men restoring the track east of here. The
country was scoured for help and all com
ers were hired.
One of the worst results Is the flooding of
the mining region and the enforced idleness
of over one thousand miners because of
water In the mines. These men earn u
high as $4.50 a day.
The Cumberland and Pennsylvania rail
road restored their track through to Bar
ten today, being a day later In reachine
that point than was <xpected.
I In thtf vicinity of Sir John's Run, where
the tracks were submerged to a depth of
many feet and the current ran with the
velocity of a mill race, the road bed was
torn up, and In one Instance the rails and
ties were deposited seventy feet from their
original resting place. Meals were provid
ed for the men on the ground, two thou
sand gallons of coffee being prepared at
Cumberland and sent to the workers.
The damage done by the Blackwater
river at Davis, W. Va., and vicinity Is be
ing repaired. Old settlers say It was the
greatest flood In the history of that sec
tion. The plant of the West Virginia Pulp
and Paper Company has been under water,
and the damage cannot yet be estimated.
The streets have been dark since the flood
ing of the electric light plant. The dam
age everywhere has been great.
TO THE SUPREME COURT.

validity of the existing law. The attorney
for Chris. Heurich also asked a contin
uance of the case against his client until
Friday. The ca*?e against John D. Cough

AN INQUIRY IN PROGRESS.
Disputes Between American Contrac
tors and Workmen in Ecuador.
The State Department is engaged in a
close inquiry into the troubles that have
arisen in Ecuador growing out of disputes
between American railroad contractors and
the native laborers. It appears that the
Ecuadorian laws are peculiarly favorable to
the lodgment of claims by laborers against
their employers, and wherever there has
been the slightest attempt to deprive the
men of their wages through either con
tractors or subcontractors or agents, the
native courts have been quick to take up
the cause of the. laborers. It is asserted
on the part of the railroad contractors that
the decis;ons have been almost invariably
against them, quite without regard to the
equities of the case, and the agents, as a
class, have been the principal sufferers.
Their protests through the American minis
ter, Mr. Sampson, have so far failed to
secure an amelioration of the conditions
complained of, and the aid of the depart
ment itself is now being invoked through
some representatives in Congress whose
constituents have addressed them on the
subject. It is expected that the American
flag will be more often seen in Ecuadorian
waters hereafter, for it has been impressed
upon the Navy Department that the occa
sional appearance of a warship there might
have a salutary influence, but so far no
specific orders to that end have been given.
MOVEMENTS OF NAVAL VESSELS.
Admiral Higginson Sails on the Kear

Friday, Is as follows:
"The Etrurla lost her propeller and steer
ing gear In mid-Atlantic on the evening of
February 20. Drifted helpless in a heavy
sea all night, making continuous signals.
Too much cannot be said for the bravery
and coolness of Captain Stephens, whose
example filled the passengers and crew with
courage.
"They are trying to tow the Etrurla to
the Azores. As I write we are now in
tow of the steamer William Cliff, but are
making no headway. Wind and sea against
us and Cllft not strong enough to do more
than hold us steady.
"All are well on board, and after the first
excitement everything has been quiet. They
are trying to lash spars to make' a rudder.
Captain of oil tank steamer Ottawa from
Philadelphia has promised to file this at
first port touched. Captain Stephens wishes
to assure all that there is no danger."

Thinks Himself a Major General.
A man giving as his name John Riley
and saying that he was a major general in
the United States army, was brought Into
police headquarters by Detective Sergeant
Muller shortly before 3 o'clock this after
noon, Riley was found at the pension office,
where he was trying to make some ar
rangement about hie pension. Because of

cinct police station. Riley said that he
served in Company A, 4;?l? New York Volun
teers, during the war of the rebellion. In
1805 he was discharged. A short time later
he claimed he was appointed a major gen
eral but his commission, he said, was with
held' from him by the War Department. He

Special Dispatch to The F.*rnlug Star.
NEW YORK, March 4.?Dullness and ir
regularity again characterised the trading
at the stock exchange. There wax no new
business In commission house circles and
even pools seemed willing to let prices drift.
The Inaction causes little concern and Is not
wholly unwelcomed. Business conditions,
where not Interfered with by unfavorable
weather, all Indicate prosperity.
In gome Instances traffic Is congested
and an absolute lack of transportation fa
cilities reported. Such a condition exists
around Pittsburg and the Pennsylvania,
railroad has Issued notice that no freight
will be accepted from connecting lines un
til the end of the present week. The state
ment of this system, issued after the cl we
of yesterday's business, makes a remark
able showing.
The company Is shown to be the owner
of securities from which an income equal
to the full dividend on Its own stock Is de
rived. Its earnings indicate that it did
over 12 per cent of the country's transpor
tation last year upon a mileage of less
than one-half of that amount.
Union Pacific comes to the front with a
splendid Increase In February earnings and
nearly all of the better managed properties
give evidence of splendid business. There
has been damage In the coal region as tl-e
result of recent storms and the anthracite
coal shares are heavy In consequence. Er ?)
and Reading showed a willingness on the
part of shareholders to realize at present
prices in the belief that purchases could be
made at a lower level.
North western was advanced another 3
per cent during the morning, but the move
ment failed to create an Imitative demand
In other parts of the list. General Electric
was bid up sharply, but here also the
movement was Isolated. The steel stocks
were steady, but there were round lots of
the 1'nlted States issues offered at every
advance.
Sugar reflected the Indecision In Wash
ington as to the action to be taken upon
the subject of the Cuban bounty. The
traction shares were heavy under mixed
selling, to which Manhattan was most sus
ceptible. The selling was popularly credit
ed to the room and was not considered
as being especially significant.
Money continues easy, and assurances
are given that, notwithstanding gold ship
ments, there need be no concern. Distribu
tion of syndicate profits on several success
ful undertakings is looked upon as a source
of relief to the money market, should sucn
relief become necessary. A waiting market
has come, and there are no indications of
any special desire to force activity.
Brokers are hopeful, but are willing to see
things drift for a time or until the op
timism of the banking community becomes
discernable to the less experienced and
more cautious public.
