Progrtosulves and Democrats Hold Up Bill Putting Army lu < hai ge of Reclamation Service. A combination of Insurgent Re publicans and Democrats took anoth er oiap at Bftllingerlsm in the Sen ate this week. The attack came when the combination announced its opposition to the bill increasing the engineer corps of the army. This 'hill, which adds about 60 to the number of engineer officers, also au thorizes the President to place the army engineers in full charge of all public works. But the far-seeing insurgents im mediately detected an effort to pro vide an easy way for Ballinger to get rid of Director Newell and Chief Engineer Davis, of the Reclamation service, as It had been quietly hinted that one of the first uses that would be made of the law would be to place army engineers in charge of the Reclamation service, and there by permit Ballinger to wreack per sonal vengeance upon Newell and Davis for daring to publicly proclaim that his conduct was antagonistic to the public Interest. Senator Bailey of Texas Is the leader in the fight against the bill, although he is actuated by personal motives. He has even admitted that be was animated by no higher pur pose than a desire to get even with the army ©ngineere for refusing to recomment an harbor improvement in Texas which he had advocated. The Texas Senator also announced that he would not allow the pas sage of the bill, even if It was nec- esaary to resort to a filibuster. But the Senate developed other opposi tion equally as determined, and so strong has tne feeling against the bill become that it is expected the effort to pass H will be abandoned.

Porter Charlton, husband of Mary Sdott Castle Charlton, whose body was found In a trunk in Lake Como, Italy, reached New York on a Ger man Liner Thursday. A man re sembling Charlton was arrested aa he stepped from the steamer at hi* pier in Hoboken. He gave the names of Charles W. Coleman, but a report from Hoboken said that at the po lice station he broke down and ad mitted that he waa Charltoa. Charlton said In hla confession he and hia wife had been having sup per together at the villa on Lake Como and that they had engaged in a violent quarrel. Charlton said his wife, who was one of the best women In the world, but had an ungovernable temper, called him some vi.e uamis „jat finally who he could not stand her abuse any longer, he attache* her with a wooden mallet. The young man said that he struck her over the head three tlmea, knocking her un- aconacious and killing her, as far as he knew..

The police were watching fflr the arrival of the steamer Deutschland, as it had been reported that Charlton sailed on that steamer. The officers had a description of Charlton, and when they saw a man resembling •him leave the ship they pounced up on him and placed him under ar rest. He protested vigorously and seemed Inclined forcibly to offer re sistance. but he soon subsided. Capt. Scott, brother of Mrs. Charlton, took one look at the prisoner and said the man was Charlton.

She was the best woman in the world to me. hut shd had an Ungovernable temp* r. So had J. We frequently quarreled over the most trival matters and her lang uage to me was frequently so foul that 1 know she did not know the meaning of it. "The night I struck her she had been quarreling with me. She was in the worst temper I had ever seen her in. I told her if she did not cease I would leave her and put a stop to It. She stopped for a little while and started again. "I took a mallet which I had used to do household, repairs, and struck her three times. I thought she was dead. I put the body in a trunk in which I also threw the mallet. “About twelve that night I brought the trunk to my house and dragged it down to a small pier and threw it overboard. 1 left the fol lowing night and went to Como, end from there to Genoa, where 1 took the steamer Irene three days later. “The room where I killed her was an outdoor sleplng apartment.
