SENATORS' WILD CLAIMS OF VOTES ON RATE BILL Number That Leaders Assert They Have Exceeds Membership in the Senate. TILLMAN NOT YET SATISFIED.

Shows That He Requires Probably 20 Republicans to Join the Democrats. Eagle Bureau, 608 Fourteenth Street. Washington, April 7-The leaders of the opposing in Senate rate fight are making extravagant claims about rides, the votes they are supposed to have. The sum of the votes which it is asserted in whispered confidences have been nailed down for and against the liberal court review amendment, far exceeds that the total membership of the Senate. The truth of the matter is that neither side feels confdent that it has enough votes to win, and this accounts for the fact that no agreement is in sight to end the debate.

There are fifty-five active Republicans in Senate, and thirty-three Democrats, a total of eighty-eight votes. Any closely contested proposition, therefore, requires fortyfive votes succeed. Neither Senator Tillman, who is in charge of the rate bill from the House, which is indorsed in 1 its main features the President, nor the conservative Senators headed by Aldrich, Knox and Spooner, are yet satisfied that either side has those forty-five votes corralled. However, this does not serve as a bar to prevent them from making claims. The loudest boasts are made by the conservatives as represented by Messrs.

Aldrich, Crane, Knox and Spooner. They say they have forty Republicans and anywhere from ten to twenty Democrats pledged. This elementals undoubiedly, but stronger just how than many the votes it has is something that cannot be determined until the roll is called. Dolliver is more conservative in his claims. He says he has twenty-nine Republicans who will vote for the restricted review, as provided in the Long amendment.

His list of twenty-nine Senators contains the names of about a dozen who are undoubtedly with Aldrich. The Democrats hold the key to the situation; it is almost impossible accurately to line them up. Aldrich needs only five or six to carry his point, provided he has not been deceived by the promises of the forty Republicans on whose support he is counting. Dolliver must convert a much larger number if he is to put through the bill with a limited review position. It is known the Democrats are badly split, but it is useless to attempt to say how they stand.

Senator Tillman, who is nominally in charge of the rate bill, summed up the Democratic situation as follows: President has advanced a proposito day tion which is not acceptable to a majority of his own party, and he has called in the assistance the Democrats. Under these circumstances, the Democrats have a right to insist upon the inclusion in the bill of certain things they demand. We have twenty-five Democratic votes we can depend upon, with a possibility of twentyeight, for a limited court review amendment and no suspension, or anti-injunction provision. Atter Senator Bailey's speech OD Tuesday it is possible that some of the weak -kneed Democrats will be brought into line. We have this many Democratic votes to offer the President in support of his policy, which he has declared is the same as him to supply from the Republican ranks." ours, and whatever number I we lack is for This statement from Senator Tillman shc 'S that he requires absolutely and possibly twenty Republicans to join the Democrats, in order to make the necessary forty-five votes to secure the adoption of the limited court review amendment demanded by his faction.

Senator Crane, who has prominently allied himself with the Spooner faclion. says: "We have forty Republicans ready to vote for a broad court review amendment, similar to that proposed by Senator Knox. Of the Democrats there are from ten to twenty who will vote with us. The only difficulty is that we have not yet reached an agreement on the phraseology amendment. The Republicans are agreed.

but we want the pledges of other We hope to reach such an agreement next week." This statement concedes that at least five Democratic votes are necessary to insure the success of the programme of the Aldrich -Spooner faction. In spite of these hopeful assertions it 1s believed that the leaders are still afraid to submit their claims to the test of a vote, and that the sparring will continue for some time. CHARGED WITH STOCK SWINDLE. George Huddlestone Is Alleged to Have Obtained $5,000 by Selling Bogus Copper Mine Shares. Detectve Sergeant McConville, of the Central Office, arrested yesterday George Huddiestone, 56 years of age, who described himself as a financier, of 910 Sixth avenue, Manhattan, on a charge of swindling Louis H.

Strauss, of 60 New street, out of $5,000. According to Strauss, on October 21 last, Huddlestone got him interested in a mining scheme and afterward, he alleges, sold him $5,000 worth of stock in a bogus copper mine. It is alleged that afterward Huddelstone disappeared until he was arrested yesterday. When arraigned in the Tombs Police Court before Magistrate Moss, Huddelstone was held in 82,000 bail for examination to-morrow morning. The arraignment was made on a short amdavit.

sworn to by Detective Sergeant MeConville, charging him with the larceny of $5,000 from Strauss, and McConville at once asked the court to hold Huddelstone for forty -eight hours for further evidence. Magistrate Moss offered an objection to this proceeding, saying that Strauss, the complainant, should have been in court. Addressing Detective McConville, he asked: "Have you any fuller information?" The officer replied: "Your honor, to divulge al this time all that We know might interfere with the course of justice. We expect in connection with this case to make several important arrests, and we are afraid that the otherg will get away, as many others have recently done in other The magistrate then fixed the bail at $2,000.

Brave Man's Death in Kansas City, Where He Had Prospered Since He Left Brooklyn. Many Brooklyn veterans of the Civil War learned with regret of the death in Kansas City, last Thursday, of Enos A.

Axtell. Mr. Axtell went to the Civil War with the Fourteenth Regiment, known in the volunteer service as the Eighty-fourth New York. In that regiment was James McLeer, now commander of the Second Brigade of this city. The death of his former rade brought back vividly to general's mind incidents of the Civil in which ware Axtell figured.

The latter's romantic marriage to a Southern girl made him the hero, it is said, of one of Marie Corellis' novel. In his office yesterday afternoon General McLeer related incidents connected with Axtell's Amid the stirring fighting career. around a place called Falls Church, near Fairfax Court House, familiar to all students of the campaign of McClellan against Lee in 1861, was a Sumhouse occupied by a man and his wife and a daughter, all intensely "rebel." The house was alternately within the Union and the Confederate lines, and it happened that some of the men from Brooklyn came to know the members of the family. Among these way Axtell, who was about 20 years of age, handsome, of good manners and character. took a fancy to the girl and she reciprocated his liking.

It would never have done to let the family know of her attachment for a "Yankee," and so they hid their feelings. The Union soldiers went elsewhere in the course of the war and Axtell managed to keep up correspondence with his sweetheart, who was exceedingly attractive, as General McLeer remembers her through the mist of years. In the first day's fighting at Gettysburg Axtell was taken prisoner. A dramatic incident was connected with his capture. He was the guidon bearer.

the guidon then consisting of a small American flag, When Axtell saw escape was impossible, be thrust the flag under the shirt next to his skin, and so he managed to keep it from falling into the hands of the Confederates. This was on July 1, 1863. He was paroled and rejoined the regiment, being mustered out with it, June 6, 1864, in New York. Through all the exciting scenes that followed his meeting with the Falls Church beauty he had not forgotten her, and as soon as he was mustered out he hastened south. He sent word to her to meet him near the hopse: He drove a team of fast horses a8 near the house as he dared, and there the girl met him, bringing with her a few necessaries for travel.

Then they went direct to Washington, where they were married. Mr. Axtell brought his bride to Brooklyn, but they did not remain here long, as he saw good prospects in Missouri. Going there Mr. Axtell became prominent in the Republican party, and was a conspicuous figure in the political life of Kansas City.

General McLeer and Mr. Axtell remained warm friends. Not long ago the general received a letter from Mr. Axtell, saying he looking forward with the most pleasurable expectations to the camp fire, of the survivors of the Fourteenth, on May 18. Axtell's sister is living in this city.

General McLeer says that none of the younger men who went out with the regiment in 1861 had more friends than Mr. Axtell. SUDDEN DEATHS TABULATED.

Delegation of Boys and Girls From the Long Island Business College Visit the Eagle Plant. An interesting delegation, composed of twenty-four boys and girls from the Long Island Business College, visited the Eagle Building last night and studied the making of a daily newspaper in all of its intricate details. The visitors were first taken to the Information Bureau, where the system of managing this useful department of the Eagle was carefully unfolded to them.

After listening to a brief lecture on newspaper work they were next conducted to the tower, from the windows of which they obtained their first birdseye view of Brooklyn by night. A visit to the art room followed, after which the delegation was taken through the stereotyping and composing rooms. The complete and thoroughly modern mechanical equipment of the Eagle never fails to impress those who come to the office sightseeing, and the interest of the young students warmed to a high pitch as they watched the various machines in full operation, previous to the printing of the Sunday edition. The guide next conducted the boys and girls through the editorial and news departments, at the same time giving them a glimpse of the reference bureau. Descending to the business office, the delegation examined the delicate and complex set of instruments used in the government Weather Bureau, and: concluded its tour with a visit to the press.

The big presses were turning out copy after copy of some of the sections of the Sunday edition, when the students entered the room and the spectacle fascinated them. In spite of the nerve-racking din caused by the rapidly revolving presses, the delegation remained in the room for a long time, questioning the guide at length as to the principles involved in printing the newspaper.

The New York State Red Cross has issued instructiong for the shipment of food to the starving people of Sendal Province of Japan and announces that it will be transferred to Japan by the Union Pacific or Southern Pacific railroads free of charge by the offer of E.

H. Harriman. Shippers are advised to send the food to any freight station of the two railroads addressed to "Count Matsukata, President of the Japanes Red Cross, Yokohama, Japan." Shippers are instructed that the kind of food contained should be marked on the package. When it reaches Japan directions in Japanese will be attached for preparing it. A list of American foods suitable for Japanese use and approved by Japanese authority is given as follows: "Cereals -Rice, lima beans, white beans, peas, split peas, lentils, cornmeal, oatmeal, hominy, wheat, wheat flour, cereal breakfast foods, corn, if accompanied by grinding apparatus and if kiln dried; macaroni of domestic manufacture, sweet potatoes, Irish potatoes.

Fish and meat-Dried fish of all kinds, salted fish, such as pilchards or dried salt cod; canned soups. Milk-Condensed milk. It is explained that, although the Japanese ordinarily use little milk, it is now needed to save the lives of babies who are starving because their mothers cannot feed them. Concerning the list of foods Consul General Uchida, of this city, said: "Wheat flour is the best. Macaroni also is good, and sweet potatoes.

To send rice from America would be very expensive, unnecessarily so. Rice can better be secured from China and Korea, if money is sent to buy it with. Breads are not eaten much by the Japanese, but we make wheat flour into cakes. It is one of our most familiar foods. Wheat flour is the best article that Americans can send, although a hungry man will eat anything, and the peasants have long been trying to live on roots, leaves and even the bark of trees.

Japan does the best for herself that she can. Japan does not ask of any one, but she will most gratefully receive any contribution that any friend may send."

His death adjudged to be the result of shock and strain of witnessing the suffering was, of Mrs.

Neumann. The operation on Mrs. Neumann, which caused her husband's death, was of' a rare nature connected with child birth. Contrary to the usual result. of such operations, the patient is still alive and is said to be recovering rapidly.

The child, a plump little boy, is doing well. Mr. Neumann's death occurred Thursday at 4:30 o'clock, but it was not until last night that his friends knew the peculiarly sad circumstances of his decease. Early Thursday morning Mrs. Neumann became ill and the family physician was summoned in expectation of the happy event that had been looked forward to by the Neumanns for some time.

Mrs. Neumann was in fairly good health before Thursday. She was quite young. She had been married just two years. The first physician called in Thursday morning discovered conditions that decided him to summon a fellow physician and two nurses.

After a consultation it was decided that an operation might be necessary. Mr. Neumann, who was present through the conference of the two physicians, went out at their suggestion to bring in another physician. Before he could return it became necessary for the surgeons in attendance upon Mrs. Neumann to begin the operation.

This was in progress when Mr. Neumann arrived with the other physician. Mr. Neumann was almost overcome by the shock of seeing his wife undergoing such a terrible ordeal. There was need for his assistance, and he braced up sufficienthelp the doctors.

The delicate task was just about completed when Mr. Neumann fell across the foot of the bed. The physicians thought at first that he had merely fainted from fright, but when they prepared to minister to his case they found he was dead. The strain had been too much for his heart. Mrs.

Neumann was not permitted to know of her husband's death. She surprised the doctors by rallying from the operation, Late last night it WAS announced that she and the child were doing well, Mr. Neumann was 84 years old and was associated with his brother, Gustay W. Neumann, in conducting Neumann's Hotel, Surf and Stillwell avenues, Coney Island. He had a beautiful home in Bay Thirty-fifth street and carried his wife there after the marriage two years ago.

The funeral will be held this afternoon at 2 o'clock in St. John's Lutheran Church, Eighty-fourth street and Sixteenth avenue, Bath Beach. The interment will be on Monday in the Lutheran Cemetery. The burial will be conducted with Masonic ceremonies, as Mr. Neumann was a member of Kedron Lodge No.

Teale, of 1854 Eighty-second street, will be shocked to learn of his wife's death, which occurred New York Hospital, Manhattan, yesterday.

Teale, her husband, is one of the best-known citizens of Brooklyn. He served for many years on the Board of Education, and as chairman of its finance committee saved thousands of dollars to the old City of Brooklyn. Mayor Schieren made him a police magistrate, and Mr. Teale was noted on the bench for his sympathy with the suffering and unfortunate. Later, Mayor or Low, in the consolidated city, appointed Mr.

Teale deputy commissioner of public charities for the Boroughs of Brooklyn and Queens, and the kindly interest with the weak, the erring and the lowly that characterized him on the bench was carried into his administration of the new charge. Last year Mr. Teale was a candidate for city controller on the Republican ticket. Of his first marriage, two living descendants survive. They are Charles E.

Teale, who has made his home the West, and Mrs. Rhue, who lives opposite her father in the Bensonhurst section, THE EAGLE CLUB. Opening of New Recreation Rooms for Employes.

BABYLON FARM BRINGS $85,500. Fine Southard Tract, Including Lake of 100 Acres, Bought by Gustave Rau, of Brooklyn. (Special to the Eagle.) Babylon, L. April 7-James B. Southard this week sold his big farm at North Babylon, about 140 acres, including a picturesque hundred acre lake, to Joseph Schaefer, of Brooklyn, for $67,500.

Mr. Schaefer to-day transferred the property to Gustave J. Rau, of 435 Graham avenue, Brooklyn. for $85,500. A mortgage of $35,000 is given.

The property is one of the finest in this vicinity. It is a trifle less than a mile from the heart of the village, has a frontage on both sides of what is known as Southard's lane and is high, fertile land. The lake is one of the largest on the south side, and is fed by living streams. It is well stocked with fish and was for years controlled for Ashing by the Westminster Kennel Club, whose house and large kennels adjoin it on the west. The club some years ago moved to New Jersey and the property is now owned by James L.

Ewell, who occupies it as a country place. The property Mr. Rau has purchased has been in the Southard family for seventy years. The old saw and grist mill on the property, pictured in the Eagle some monthe ago, is one of the landmarks of this section. The old house and rambling barns and sheds, with the mill, are to be torn down by the new owner of the property.

Mr. Rau, however, has no definite plans as to the development of the land, but will probably plot it off, sell some and may erect a country residence for himself on the remainder.

The referee recommends that the order be granted and Miss Bishop lodged either in the custody of her brother or her aunt, as she may elect.

and L. Company of Brooklyn Hills Wants $139.60 for Feed for City's Horses, Jones Hook and Ladder Company No. 1, of Brooklyn Hills, of the Woodhaven Fire Department, is the plaintiff in an action brought against the City of New York for $139.60 and interest thereon for moneys spent by the company from September 10, 1.902, to May 20, 1903, for forage for four horses sent to the company by the fire commissioner of the city. In 1902 the horses were sent to the company, whose members were then serving as volunteer firemen, and when a demand was made for forage for the animals it was refused. The amount sued for has actually been spent in supplying the horses with the necessary feed and care to keep them in existence, the company claims.

The horses were supplied by the defendant and cared for by the plaintiff, in order that the apparatus of the company could be taken out when needed. The horses were not used for any other business, and it became the duty of the company to maintain them. The charges against the city are for two bales of hay and four bags of oats weekly, in addition to meal and straw. The oats are charged at $1.10, hay at $1.40, straw at $1.85 and meal at $1.50. Financial provision was made in the budgets of the years 1902 and 1903, but the money was diverted from such purposes during that time.

It is considered a just claim, as it is legal and binding upon the city to furnish fire protection to that location. A demand was made upon the controller for this claim on or before June 16, 1905, which was followed by an examination on June 29, but as yet payment has not been made. The Deraismes engine and hose company will start a similar proceeding in the county court for the recovery $800 or $900 paid by it for feed and care of horses before an appropriation was allowed the company. INSOMNIA Leads to Madness, If Not Remedied in Time. "Experiments satisfied me, some 5 years ago," writes a Topeka woman.

"that coffee was the direct cause of the insomnia from which I suffered terribly, as well as the extreme nervousness and acute dyspepsia which made life a most painful thing for me. had been a coffee drinker since childhood, and did not like to think that the beverage was doing me all this harm. But it was, and the time came when I had to face the fact, and protect myself. I therefore gave it up, abruptly and absolutely, and adopted Postum Food Coffee for my hot drink at meals. "I began to note improvement in my condition very soon after I took on Postum.

The change proceeded gradually, but surely, and it was a matter of only a few weeks before I found myself entirely relieved -the nervousness passed away, my digestive apparatus was restored to normal efficiency, and I began to sleep, restfully and peacefully. "These happy conditions have continued during all of the 5 years, and I am safe in saying that I owe them entirely to Postum Food Coffee, for when I began to drink it I ceased to use medicines." Name given by Postum Battle Creek, Mich. There's a reason. Read the little book, 'The Road to Wellville," in pkgs..
