MISS KITTIE NO MOEE.
The Second of ITew York's Chimpanzee
Lovers Taken by Death.
New York, March 1. Miss Kittle, the
former fiance, of Crowley, died in her cage
in the old arsenal building, Central Park,
this morning, of consumption. Yesterday
Jake Cook, her keeper, noticed that her
appetite was beginning to fail. She had
been in the habit of eating a pound of
grapes everyday, but yesterday she ato
only half a pound and that with evident
diffculty. At C o'clock last evening when
Mr. Cook was gointr homo to dinner, Kit
tie did not look as bright as usual. When
he returned he saw that her eyes were
sunken and that sho breathed with diffi
culty. All night lone Jake watched
by the bedside of his charge, holding
her hands and tryinc to soothe her. She
suffered greatly and frequently tried to
expaud her chest, while she looked beseech
ingly at her faithful friend as if begging
him to relievo her. At 2:40 o'clock she
rose suddenly, turned from her keeper and
fell to the floor gasping for breath. Jake
quickly raised her head but saw in a mo
ment; that t.he w.is aead.
When Miss Kittle arrived she was but
2 years old. In accordance with the tradi
tions nf rl riitvitmii7.pn finiK' mntriginu
between the members of that family mu.t I
not take place until each of the contract
ing parties are 4 years old. A courtship of
two yearn was therefore in prospect for
Mr. Crowley, who immediately starred in
upon the labor of love. Eve'thing seemed
to be progressing as bippdy
as the proverbial marriage ball,
and apparently the hopes of bofh
the chimpanzee lovers were to be
sealed by marriaco within a few short
month, when about August 1. l?. Mr.
Crowlev had an attack of indices' ion '
whicn weakened him, and when he caught
cold a few days afterward pneumonia set
in. His lunq-. had alwavs bt-en weak and
on August yi ue succumoed to the fell
destroyer, dying, at the early age of 0
years, a victim to the variable climate of
the mettopolis. Thus was the prospective
joy of Miss Kittie turnen to grief. Miss
Kittie preserved the best of health up to
within six months ago. Mr. Crowley had
the honor of haviuc been the chimpanzee
that was the longest kept alive in cap
tivity in the United States. Miss Kiltie
stands next in this respect.
THE MISSOURI'S ICE GORGE.
Kansas City, Mo.. March 1. The Hop

by the ice gorge The river is so low the
ferry boat can not run and a telegram
from Conners, sixtepn miles up the river,
says the water there is lower than it has
been the entire winter The company
fears that should the gorge break with a

can be dammed up behind any. gorce as
lias been reported, for were it so the rail

An Assertion by the Doctor That the Pro

Pailnre and in the Interest of but

proaches to the Wichita
Public Building
Capital Notes.
Washington, March 1. Dr. Norvin
Green today coutiuued his testimony be
fore the committee on postoffices and post
roads, opposing the bill to establish the
postal telegraph. Taking up the details
of the postmaster general's plan, Dr.
Green said that at many of their offices it
would be sufficient that the telegraph bus
iness pay expenses. It had been sug
gested that the postmasters at these offices
might learn to work the wires. But they
would not do so, as they were busiuess
men, and fully employed in caring for
their shops. Then a special corps of opera
tors would have to be organized in the
large cities, and they would have to be
placed in rooms separate f torn the postoffice
to preserve the secrefty of the mes
sages. Large battery rooms would have to
procured and altogether the present office
buildings could not be made to accommo
date the telegraph system. Dr. Green
made a comparison betweeu our domestic
telegraph rates with those in Europe,
showing that for all distances over 500
miles our rates were much lower. Yet,
said he, the postmaster general would es
tablish a uniform rate for 1,300 mile dis
tances, a distance over wnich no single
wire has ever been successfully worked.
As to the low rates, the Western Union
had never fought opposition companies
with low rates; tho opposition companies
had usually butted against ihe Western
Union. The last formidableycompetitor it
had was the Bultimore & Ohio Telegraph
company. They had started in
to smash things, and they had
done it. That "" company had ruiu
ed three comueting companies, had
ruined itself and had so nearly ruined the
Baltimore & Ohio Ilailroad company that
it had been obliged to sell its sleepiug cars
and construction shops to tide over tlie
financial strf-as. That was the Jast of the
low rate fights. Tho Baltimore & Ohio
Telegraph company had paid out on n
large clabs of business as high as 11 cents
per message for collecting and collections,
le'iyiug out oflicers' salaries and wire
maintainence. The average cost of hand
ling their messages was 22.5 cents and the
average charge was ltj.4 cents. The post
master general, in his order fixing rates
for tiio government business, had made an
order which the board of director of tlie
Western Union had decided was prauti
cally an order of confiscation of their busi
ness. The doctor became somewhat excited at
this point and looking h ird at Postmaster
General Wanamaker, who steadfastly re
turned the gciZ", he exclaimed: "And ho
says he is on lir-t rate terms with the tele
graph companies. lie may congratulate
himself that he can smile and smile,
and murder while he smiles. We
propose to controvert that order of fixing
the rates for government messages in the
courts and to demonstrate that it is not
one-half the cost of the service. We have
not received a dollar on account of the
government telegraph services since last
July; we would not accept the rate. One
word more. I don't know whether I am
right, but this is the way it looks to a
man up a tree. This is a government of
the people, by tho people and
for tho people. In England
and other monarchial governments,
in sympathy with the so-called French re
public, the cabinet ministers are members
of the legislative departments and act as
members of the legislature- But in a
constitutional form of government, as it is
heie, the executive, legislative and judi
cial departments are made independent
departments. The presideut may recom
mend from time to time such legislation
as may be needed. This proposed legisla
tion has failed to receive his recommenda
tion although submitted in the postmaster
general's report before hi annual message
was sent to congress. I have never heard
before that a cabinet minister may come
before a committee to coach it and help
his pet schemes through, when they have
not been recommended by the piesideut."'
At this point Representative Anderson,
of Mississippi, inteirupted Dr. Green to
call attention to tho late hour, and added
that the witness was argumentative and
not responsive.
Representative Crain. of Texas, re
marked that so far as coaching the com
mittee was concerned, the postmaster
general had never spoken to him upon the
subject. When he (the po-tuia-atr gener
al) was on the stand, he (Mr. Craiu) hail
catechised him as closely as ha had Dr.
Green, because ho wanted to vote intelli
gently upon the proposition.
Dr. ureen 1 lie postmaster general has
between tO.OOD and
lOO.OW civil appomt-
meuts to make and every member has two
or three in his district.
Mr. Crain J am a Democrat ana ret i
nnnp from him. Mv onlv objection to tho f
postmaster general is his politics. Then
addressing himself to the subject of The
pending bill, Mr. Crain asKed if Dr.
Green's objection was not based on the
asumption that provided for the erection
and maintaining cf trovemment lines.
uc. ureea rcDiieu mat mat was
what it amounted to; tuat would be the
result.
Mr. Crain asked why the estcrn
Union optoses the bill proposed as an im-
pracuiauie pian.
Ur. irreea tsecause tne tools are not
all dead yet. A great many people would
jumD into building telegraph lines with
out assurance that they could make any
thing. Mr. Crain remarked this obj-ction
seemed to be that the Western Union
company would not be helped but the
peoole would be.
Dr. Green rtplied that a certain class of
people would be benefitted if they could
send messages at 1 cent a word, or at 1
mill, a1 originally proposed by the post
master generaL But the benefit would be
confined to 1 per cent of the people, and
that at the cjsc of the corernment.
Mr. Cram rejoined that tje bill did not
propose that tne government should meet
the cost. The sender of the message was
to meet the entire erpfose.
Dr. Green replied that tbe bill did not
propose anything ot the sort, that was his
objection, The sender would pay a fixed
rate, which would be insufficient.
But," said Mr. Cram. it authorizes
tne government to contract witc telegraph s
compsnies for service at a fixed rxte. If'fram Dr. Bsvne to the effect that Mr.
it was a losing rate tie company would be
the lowers, not the people.
Dr. Grten replied teat it .vas a rsatter of
opinion as to the result, and the committee
would. see that his view was right.
Mr. Grain You say the English operat
ors receive but one-half of the salaries
paid to our operators; don't they employ
twice as many men to do the work?
Dr. Green I say it .will take twice as
many m this country if the government
does the work.
Chairman Bingham, in addressing Dr.
Green said, in reference to his criticism of
the postmaster general: "The postmaster
general is here br the same invitation as
you are, to discuss the half dozen bills
referred to the house for its action. The
postmaster general has not coached the
committee nor does the committee propose
to be coached by any one."
Mr. Candler (committeeman) added that
when the committee found that but 1.000.-
000 out of 59.000,000 people were using the
telegraph it believed it a matter of duty to
see how its use could be extended. It was
an improvement upon the older sy3tera of
mail communication, and the people
should be offered every opportunity to use
it. It seemed to him that Dr. Green had
an unjust conception of the postmaster
general's position when he assumed that
he was attacking the Western Union Tel
egraph company. The influence which had
been in the committee and probably in the
mind of the postmaster general, was for
the attainment of an advauuigo higher
and more important to the mass of the
people than might be supposed from some
things that had been said.
Dr. Green replied that this country was
a great agricultural country. The rarm
ers and artisaus bad no occasion to use the
telegraph once a year. They would not
telegraph if they could do it for 5 ceuts.
The bulk of tho business was commercial
or speculative.
Mr. Candler could not maintain this
proposition. He said many men in this
country were interested in cheap tele
graphy. This concluded Dr. Green's testimony
and the committee listened to the reading
of a statemeut by Mr. Baruum. represent
ing the Visual Siuchronism Telegraph
company, in favor of the postmaster gen
eral's plan until noon arrived, when it ad
journed. P0E WICHITA'S BUHDDIG.

good to keep private and he gave its con
tents to several colleagues, through whom
it in turn reached the press, to the discom
fiture ot the speaker. The letter reads as
fallows:
Office of Sep-geant-at-Akms, )
House of Ueprlsentativks, r
Washington, February 23, lb09. )
Dear Mr. Caruth.
I shall not accept the invitation tender
ed me by the Bine Grass club. The rea-on
is very simple. I notice that Jay F Dur
ham is president. Now Jay F. Durham
assured me during the late disturbances
tint if they had mo in Kentucky they
would kill me. Knowing this said Dur
ham to be a journalist his declaration to
me imports absolute verity. I do not wish
to be killed, especially in Kentucky, where
such an event is too frequent to attract
attention. For a good man to die any
where is, of course, a gain, but I think I
cnu make more by dying later and else
where. Very truly, T. B. Reed.

BEHLIN, March 1. By the results of the
second ballots reported today the dKa
trous defeat of the Cartel coalition is con
firmed and tho same figures put in a
stronger light the triumph of the German
Liberals and the Socialists. Four districts
in this city, in which the first canvass was
undecided have now been carried bj Ger
man Liberals. The first returns Trager;
the secoud Verichow; tho third Mucket;
the fifth Bumbach. All the;.e are men
whose presence in the reichstag gives lus
ter to that body. In the second and third
of these districts the Socialists carried the
poll on the first ballot. Their defeat is
only duo to a combination of other parties
agaiust them.
The returns from the provinces received
up to 9:50 a. m. continue to disclose in
every direction defeats of the National
Liberals and successes of tho popular
candidates of various stripes. We shall
not have full and reliable returns tonight.
For those we must waic until Monday
Prince Bismarck is already actively
planning aud negotiating tho reconstruc
tion of a government majority by tho
manipulation of parties. In his new
scheme the Center party will replace the
National Liberals as that stood in tho
Cartel.
The elections have resulted m the full
restratiou ot tho prlucu's control over tho
emperor. The chancellor never seriou-ly
intended to retire, but would have re
tired rather than play the part of a figure
head. Daily for ail the time smco
the first ballots the emperor and tho
chancellor have concocted the scheme of
playing the Center party as u basis of a
government combine.
The first measure showing the drift of
tho scheme is the revival of active relations
with the Vatican. In an important dis
patch Prince Bismack requests the pope's
opinion and his recommendation as to the
details of the restitution to the Catholic
clergy of the sums scquest rated during
the culturkampf. Reports also
credits the eniDt-ror with having written
personally to the pope on the close connec
tion of his proposed state from with the
chirstiau socialism embodied in the papal
atcutiers. Other organs inspired by
Pnuce Bismarck dilate upon the theme
that in the generous Catholic aspiration for
regulated social organization that party is
working upon common ground with the
government as the government's policy is
shown m the emperor's recent utterances.
In addressing the council of state at the
close of today's sess on the emperor made
a confession almost pathetic m its terms
aud certainly so in Its tone, as to how the
supreme difficulties of the social problem
had infected themselves to him since he
had began the attemnt to reach a n radical
-uuuioii. lie ueciareu tuai, ins anus were
lie declared that his alms were
not nleal. lie did not hope to discover
some graud remedy for the euro of all
social evils. He desired rather and simply
that a simple effort should he made to find
means to determine and .satisfy
the legal demands and tho just
wishes of the working people. These
words of the emperor deeply Impressed all
who heard them, and all unite in praising
the emperor's earnest assiduity.
When presiding at the sessions of tho
council or over committees, he does every
thing to expedite busuie-s. Ho draws tip
lists ot speakers, regutntcs and discharges
the duties both of president and secretary.
He worked yesterday cigutThours continu
ously at the business of tho council of
state anu the conference.
It is now looked upon ns doubtful
whether the conieronce will meet ou the

final acceptance of the invitation. Iwcause
he has discovered that the program admits
the discussion and regulation of tho hours
of labor of adults. M. Simller communi
cated his views on the points to the Mar
quis of Salisbury and to Prince Bismarck
and advised that points certain to raise
the question of mie should be with
draw n. The MarquLs of r-alisbury approv
ed oi Al. hhuiier s lUKx'Hstion. Both prob
ably leated some deaverauce ot the con
ference affecting miners and the eight
hour movement. Tile clause will Ua modi
lied so as to prevent any debate upon the
limitation of tbe length of a turner's day,
and the conference thus bgins to assume
the character of an academic reunion in
which many more or iss competent men
will suggest remedies of social aud finan
cial problems. Tne United fctate
will certainly Iovj nothing practical or of
importante through the absence of a
representatives, 'lite chancellor will not
attend the conference. Neither will Count
Herbert Bismarck, nor any of the foreign
diplomats.
There was a reception aftr dinner today
aud ail the delegates xvere presented to the
empress. 'Ihe emperor talked much with
Freeze. Stum and Schwa rtzfcopf. Pnuce
