TO SETTLE STRIKES.

Provisions of a Bill for a National Board of Arbitration.

PROCEEDINGS IX SENATE AND HOUSE.

DIM to (rente the Territory of I ndlinolt Out of Purl! of the Indiitii Territory A I'ropotltlou to

Amend the Ruyar Tarlft.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 6. Labor Comir.issioner Wright will have a conference to-day with Chairman McGann, of the house committee on labor ltepreBentative Springer, of the pending arbitration bill, and Representative Erdman, who wrote the favorable report on the measure. They will go over the question of arbitrating strikes, with a view to outlining a programme for immediate action in congress. Mr. Wright's experience in the presidential cominlslion which recently Investigated the Pullman strike is depended on to give practical form to the plan of natioual arbitration. It has heretofore been nrged theoretically, but the report of the commission, based on inquiry and uperience, recommends such federal irbltration as the surest remedy igainst labor agitations and strikes, in outline the bill Is as follows:

The Hill.

It provides for the appointment of a permut.nt board of arbitration, consisting of three tersons. ono ol whom may, In the discretion of .ho president, be the commissioner of laor for the time being. Thti term ol (heir office Is fixed at six years and Ihelr salaries at ft.000 year. Their ippolntment shall be made by the president, by and with the advice and consent tf the senate. The arbitration is socured on the petltluu of one of the parties to eoniroversy, and when neither party asks for It there is no compulsory arbitration, but on the application of a state legislature the president may tender the offices of the notional commission.

Power of the Commission.

The power of the commission to settle strikes It dellned in the bill as follows: "The said national board of arbitration shall have power, when In their dlsoretion the Dublic Interests are at stake, to investigate the causes of all controversies and disputes between employes and their employers In the United States as they may occur, and the oondltlons accompanying them, and the best means of tholr adjustment, whether «uoh controversies and disputes are submitted for arbitration or not, and to report thereon to the president of the United Statos. who shall from time .to time transmit such reports to oougress. Said board shall have power to settle and adjust by conciliation all such disputes and controversies ao far s« If may be possible to do so."

Senate.

The feature of chief interest iu the proceedings of the senate was the short and incisive speech of Senator Vest (dem., Mo.) in support of the cloture resolution which he had offered Tuesday, but which he modified so as to instruct the committee on rules to report before the 15th inst. a plan putting It within the power of the majority to force a vote on any pending bill, resolution or motion. Senator Vest confessed to a change of opinion cn the subject of unlimited debate and appealed to the senate to establish a cloture rule If it wished to avoid public contempt and to keep abreast of the aggressive and progressive principles of the A inert can people. His allusions to the tariff light of last session, to parliamentary blackmailing by some senators, nu.l to the waste of time by others in reading or having read census reports, last year's almanacs and biographical sketches were very pointed and some what amusing. As the morning hour expired while he was still speaking his resolution went to the calendar, but he gave notice that he would today move to take it from the calendar and have it adopted.

The resolution offered last Monday by Senator Lodge (rep., Mass.) calling ou the president for information as to the surrender by the United States consul at Shanghai of two Japanese citizens, and as to their subsequent torture and death at the hands of the Chinese authorities, was taken tip, discusted for an hour and referred to the committee on foreign relations.

Senator Peffer's (pop., Kan.) resolution instructing the judiciary committee to report as to the legality of the recent issue of United States bonds was, after remarks by Senator lYfEer. agreed to.

For A New Territory.

A bill was introduced by Senator Berry (dem., Ark.) to form the terri tory of Indiauola out of portions of the Indian territory: by Senator Dolph (rep., Ore.), to forfeit the unearned publio land grants to railroads by Senator McPherson (dem., N. J. ). for an investigation of the merits of a plan for a unit of labor.

To Amend Silgur Tar I It*.

Senator Quay introduced an amend ment to the sugar clause in the pres ent tariff bill striking out all the provisions except that to remove the one-eighth differential on sugar. The one-tenth differential against bounty exporting countries remains. Senator Quay says he wants to oiler me senate on opportunity to vote direotlr upo the protection to the trust. {'•uilan for Mrs. Hank*.

A bill was introduced by Senator Hoar (rep., Mass.) and referred to the committee on pensions, granting pension of #100 a month to the widow pf Hen. X. P. Banks.

A\ipolutmeut«.

President Cleveland during the day sent to the senate the nomination of Henry W. Swift, of Massaehu actts, to be marshal of the United States for the district of Massaehu setts. Also Edtvard 11. Strobel, of New York, now envoy-extraordinary and minister plenipotentiary of the United States to Ecuador, to be envoy-extraor-dinary and minister plenipotentiary of the United States to Chili, vice .lainc L. Porter, resigned. John Karel, of Chicago, was named to be consul at St Petersburg.

permit railroad companies to pool their business under regulations to be established by the Interstate commerce commission. The provisions ol the bill were explained in detail by Mr. Patterson Idem., Tenn.), who reported the bill from the committee on interstate and foreign commerce, after exposition of the causes which had originated the sentiment that favors some legislation on the subject. The bill came before the house under the operation of a resolution reported by the committee on rules, making It the continuing order of business every day, ftor the morning hour, until It shali have been disposed of, subject only to revenuo and appropriation bills and reports from the committee on rules.

Previous to the consideration of the bill, the house passed, In the morning hour, a bill to prevent the free use of timber on the public lands and to revoke all permits heretofore granted In certain states also a senate bill making land warrants applicable for the payment of all olasses of publio lands. The conference report on the bill to regulate the printing and distribution of public documents, which came over from Tuesday, was finally agreed to, by a vote of 180 to 95.

Objection being offered to the resolution of Mr. Blair (rep., N. H.) calling on the president to furnish the house, If not incompatible with public interest, with all correspondence, telegraphic and otherwise, between this country and Japan, relating to the war between China and Japan, it went to the committee on foreign affairs.

INTERSTATE COMMERCE

Interesting Extracts from the Commissioner's Annual Report. WAHHINGTOIJ,

Dec.

0.—The

eighth an

nual report of the interstate commerce commission range® through a variety of subjects, a synopsis of which is here given:

Regarding criminal aud civil procedure the oominlaslon says tlio law doon not clothc it with detective or prosecuting functions, Us connection with the orlminul side of tbe law ending with it* report to the department of Justice. It in the duty of t»hippcr.s, rulirond managers and cltlrcns generally, suya the commission, to nflsiwt the government in running down violations of the statute designed to protect their tniorcsu. Transportation should not be regarded as a part of the private business of shippers. It should be viewed as an agency provided uud6r govern* ment sanction. It recoinmeuds that the carrying corporations be made Indictable and subject to fine for violation of the aot.

Discussing the long and bhort haul clause, the commission says: Due observance of that clause will encourage legitimate and rostraln illegitimate competition in the carrying trade

Tbe report spouks of the unreasonable freight rates from Chicago and Cincinnati to northern points of the unreasonable rates on wheat and of the failure of many carriers to post their tariffs as required by law.

Speaking of the classification of freights the commission refer* to the progress already made toward harmonious rail* road operation which is desirable for the public interest and explains tbe necessity to provide a single olasslfioatlon of commodities for the whole country. Uniform classification, the report says, depends upon the passage of a statute requiring -its accomplishment, and the commission recommends that It be directed to make and prescribe within time to be named for such classification.

The relation of railroad reoelvers to tbe law is referred to, and it Is urged that the attitude of receiver to the law la precisely that of th« corporation whose affairs have not been taken control of by the oourt.

Concerning overcharges and undercharges, the report declares that carriers ought to publish tholr tariff rates and schedules plainly enough and employ agents sufficiently skilled to enable them to correctly quote rates to shippers.

Among other topics considered by the commission are changes In transportation rates through rates and through routes pooling ol freights and divisions of earnings. The com mission refrains from expressing any opinion on the subject of government owernshlpof railroods. and states its reasons for not investigating the great strike of 1894, among which are facts that the controversy includes matters outside of the commission's jurisdiction. Referring to railroad financial embarrassments the report intimates that many receiverships were the natural sequence of mismanagement overcapitalization and lll-advlsed projecting.

The report bristles with figures in its allusion to railway statistics, showing that on June 80. 1893, there wore 1.7M.007 miles of line in the United States, being an increase during the year of 4.81*7.55. The tendency toward consolidation N shown by the fact that twenty eight roads were merged, twenty roads were reorganized and sixteen roads consolidated into other systems. The capitalization of tbe roads was $10,600,285,410, equivalent to $33,42! per mile of line. The gross earnings were (1,1280.751,{*74 the operating expenses $b£7.921,899, leaving net earnings of 1393,890,575, which equivalent to $2,314 per mile of line.

Various recommendations for amendments to the uct are suggested In accordance wltfc plaus mentioned in the body of the report, which among other things convey suggestion! regarding legislation, authorizing the com mission to investigate threatened labor contests ou railways, and to require annual ports from various companies whose business Is closely related to that of transportation.

FEEDING ~OF WHEAT.

liritish steamer Dorian, from New York to Halifax, N. S., ran into and sank instantly the schooner Clara 15. Simpson, of Portsmouth, N. II., Tuesday ulg-htin Long Island sound. The Simpson was bound from Somcssound, Me., for New York, with paving stones. About 11 o'clock, when off Eaton's Neok, a big steamer showed up. Capt. Hontvel, of the schooner, seeing her lights olainly as she came, down the sound toward him at a speed of about knots, lie saw a collision was Inevitable and yelled to the crew to take to the fore rigging.

Whet: the crash came everything seemed to be going to pieces, and iu two minutes the Simpsou had gone down. Capt. Hontvel, with Thomas Laurel and Alfred Hingrem, climbed to the foretopraast. the vessel settling iu the water all the time, until finally the men were afloat. A terrific sea was running and the water was exceedingly rough so the men could not hold on, and finally let go. clinging to drift stuff to keep afloat. Capt. Hontrel's brother Haus, of Portsmouth .Steward W. Williams, of East Boston, anil John Aikland, made an effort to get the boat from the davits, but before they could doit, went down with the vessel or were struck by the falling mizzenmast and were killed.

Rescued.

As soon at possible after the collision the Dorian put out a boat to pick up the crew of the SitnpBon. Capt. Hontvel, the first picked up. had been carried a mile from where the vessel went down. His head and ear were badly cut. Laurel was next found clinging to pieces of timber held under his arms. Hingrem, the last man picked up, managed to keep on the top of the water by means of a box on one side and a cabin door on the other. He wa» not rescued for an hour after his companions, and was almost exhausted. The men suffered a great deal from the intense cold.

GERMANY'S LATEST.

She

Attacks Cottonseed Oil tn Furtherance of Her Retaliatory Policy.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 6.— Indications seem to multiply of a determined purpose on tho part of Germany, openly or bv indirection, to interpose obstacles in the way of the importation of American products in Qcrmany, so long as the discriminating duty agaiust German beet sugar imposed by the existing new tariff law is maintained. First, on a pretext of the transmission of Tex aa fever (proved to be impossible) the importation of live cattle from the United States Into Germany was prohibited. Next, restrictions were placed upon American canned good Then a commission was appointed bo investigate whether American cotton could not be supplanted by other kinds for German manufactures.

Now the department of state has been notified through its consular representative at Hremen of a proposed change in the German customs tariff, by which the duty on cottonseed oil will be increased 250 per cent over the present rates. Among the many additions to existing duties this seems to be the most important, and it is said to meet the wishes, not only of the protectionist oil manufacturers of Germnny, but of the agrarians as well. The present duty on American cottonseed oil is four marks (one dol Inr) and it is to be raised to ten marks.

KILLED FOR CASH.

Bobbery Evidently the Motive fur Mies Ging'B Murder.

MINNEAPOLIS MYSTERY UNSOLVED.

The Murderer Thought to Have l.ured 111* Victim to Her Death And Robbed Her of tt.OOO ~Su»pect» All l'rove Alibi*.

MINNKAI'OI.IS, Minn., Dec. 6.—The sensation of the day In the Lake C'Hihoun murder mystery was the discovery that Miss Catherine Glng wa» not only murdered but was robbed ol at least 812.000. Mayor Kustis, two detectives and other officers found the key to the box which she rented in the vault of the Minneapolis Loan A Trust company's rooms. The box contained some papers, but not a pei.n.v of money.

One suspect was Harry Hayward, the landlord, friend and creditor of the dead woman. Hay ward's admissions with reference to his financial relations with the woman constituted the serious part of the case against him. His alibi is perfect and relieves him from direct connection with the crime. In his story to the police Hayward stated that Miss Ging must have hud at least S12.000 on the night of the minder. Besides ST,000 she had lalccn from the vault he had been her with $2,0U0 at Barge's restaurant, and knew positively that she oad S2.000 more in her rooms at the Ozark. Mayor Eustis, who questioned Hayward for six hours, said: 1 ltsve no iluuht lUttt t.hls woman was murdered for ii'iouoy. .She wus elthor murdered at tbe Instigation or Hayward or by 90me unknown until with Huywnrd's knowledge. There was either a conspiracy to get possession ol the money this girl hud lu her possession, ot Miss tilng was infatuated with some bloodyminded scoundrel who prevailed on her to draw this money and then Inveigled her Into that lonely ride."

Tollcles ii, Favor or Hayward.

The public have beeu quick to conncot ycung Hayward with the murder because he has in his possession insurance policies on her life for 110,000. He explains that ha had loaned her large sums of money aud bad taken the policies as security. There are two policies, one tn the Travelers' Life Insurance company for $5,000 and another in the New York Life Insurance company for the same amount. Both of these policies were taken out recently, and the signing of them over to Mr. Hayward occurred within the last week.

Tried ao Old Plan.

Mayor Kustis aud four officers took Hayward to the place where the corpse of Miss Ging was laid out. The idea in having him view the retnaius was to determine If possible by his actions whether or not he was In any

connected with the murder. The fact that Hayward had remarked that he would not like to see the remains gave rise to the suspicion that he was afraid he would break down aud create a scene if brought in contact with the corpse of his dead sweetheart.

Confronted with the t'orpie.

When Hayward entered the morgue the lid of the casket was thrown back and the once beautiful but now terribly marred face was exposed to view. The side of the head which had beeu pierced with the murderous bullet had been turned so that it could be seen plainly. It was a sight to try the strongest nerves. Hayward stood with his hands on tbe side of the casket gazing intently upon the features. The eyes of all the rest were riveted upon his face. Tears were seen to come and deep emotion was plainly evinced. Mayor Enstls was the first to speak. "Harry, is that your friend?

The young man, stlfliughis feelings, replied slowly: "Yes, It is," and then continued to gaze upon the corpse. His hat was on his head and cast a shadow upon his face. "Take off your hat, so I can see your eyes.'" sharply ordered the mayor, and Hayward removed his hat, nervously handling it the while and apparently choking with emotion. Suddenly he looked up and said: "You gentlemen think I'm guilty. (!od knows I um not."

Hayward afterward proved by several witnesses that he was at the Grand theater *.11 Monday evening.

The body of the murdered woman was taken to the Church of the Immaculate conception Wednesday afternoon, Hvhere a short service was h«ld, conducted by Father Mclntyre. In the evening the remains were taken to Auburn, N. Y.. by Miss Louise Ireland, niece of Miss Ging. who will be met at Chicago by the twin sister of the deceased. Miss .Itilia (ilng. of An burn.
