EXTENSION OF SESSIONS.

Members of the Senate Finance Committee Anxious That Work Kxten.l to <S O'Cloek Kaeh l>ay—Hill's Sp< and the Interest Felt III It—House Managers TryliiK to Make a Satisfactory Record. Washington, April 9.—If the plans of the Democratic leaders do not miscarry, the senate will devote itself almost exclusively this week to the consideration of the tariff bill. Their plan is to have the bill taken up each day immediately after the conclusion of routine morning business, which means that they desire to absorb as much of the morning hour, which usually lasts until 2 o'clock, as jKissible, and cut out the discussion of miscellaneous subjects, many of which are introduced when a question like the tariff Viill is under discussion for the purpose of obtaining delay. They may not succeed in getting such an order as this, but the announcement of the purpose of making an effort in that direction is an indication of the intention of crowding this debate along as rapidly as it possibly can be done. The Democratic members of the finance committee will also probably undertake to extend the daily sessions until ti o’clock, which will most likely be resisted by the Republicans. Great interest is felt in Senator Hill's speech, which, in case Mr. Peffer is willing to give way to him, is likely to be at least commenced this afternoon. Hill is opposed to income tax, sought in committee to have many changes made in the schedules and objected to the wholesale adoption of the ad valorem system, and it is not believed that he has changed his mind, but he has been very reticent on the subject since the time of the three days’ caucus. DON'T WANT Til K BLAMK. House Managers Working For a Keeortl With Which to <;o Itefore the People. Washington, April 9.—Appropriation bills will have the right of way in the house during the week. It is the intention of house managers to get them out of the way as soon as possible. Some of the prominent house Democrats are alarmed at the slow progress made in the senate with the tariff bill and think by clearing up the work of the house the country will see that any reeponsibility for the delay of the tariff which may exist will lay at the door of the senate. The principal fight involved in the consideration of the ] mat office appropriation bill is that over the subsidy to the fast southern mail. It may require two days to disjKise of this single item. After the postofiice bill, the consular and diplomatic bill will be called up. This will probably be made the basis for a general review of nearly all the foreign relations of the government. The debate will probably take very wide range and may touch upon any of the numerous diplomatic controversies pending. The Bluefields incident, involving the enforcement t.f the Monroe doctrine, coupled perhaps with an intimation of bad faith on the part of Great Britain in carrying out the award of the Bering sea tribunal, will probably attract the bulk of attention.

American Ktltirational Society TraiiHacta liiiMiitess In WaMliington. Washington, April 9.—The fifth anniversary of the organization of the American Society of Religious Education was celebrated here last night by a public meeting at the First Congregational church. General John Eaton, exUnited States commissioner of education, presided, and addresses were made by Bishop John F. Hurst, at the head of the project for establishing a National Methodist university nt Washington, on "The Bible and Recent Discovery,” and by Rev. J. E. Gilbert, D. D. of Indianimolis. general secretary, upon the work of the society. Yesterday afternoon the Sundayschool Teachers’ club, one of the departments, held a meeting presided over by Associate Justice Brewer of the United States mi|b -me court. The report of the registrar showed that local clubs had been established in '.M states and four Canadian provinces with a total membership of nearly 10,000. Preliminary arrangements were made for instituting a clnb in the District of Columbia. The officers for the ensuing year are: President, General John Eaton: vice presidents, Prrfessor J. E. Rankin, John M. Gregory and S. L. Beiler; secretary. Rev. J. E. Gilbert; treasurer, R. S. Choat. It was decided to transfer headquarters from Indianapolis to Washington. VIOLATED EVERY LAW. Flerlral >1 r. Lewi* Sentenced For‘*H Years For IVinflon Frauds. Washington, April 9.—The pension bureau 1ms been notified that Rev. C. W. Lewis of Tennessee has been sentenced to the penitentiary for 28 years for violations of (leusion laws, and nine other claimants in pension cases have been sentenced from one to two years each. Lewis was a member of a regiment of colored troops during the late war and Has been prosecuting pension claims throughout East Tennessee. Nashville. Kansas City and Natchez. He has filed a large nuinlier of claims, many of which were based entirely on false affidavits, with claimants personating either the soldier himself or the widow of the soldier. It is said that there is no pension law that has not been violated by this clerical pension attorney. C’OlIgTCfcH. Washington, April 9.—Saturday the

house filibustered all day over an effort to discharge the members arrested during the recent election contests, the Republicans refusing to vote. The senate discussed the wisdom of considering the new Chinese treaty in ojien session, sev eral senators so urging while in executive session, but the quorum was missing and no action was taken. SILVER CONVENTION. lU-nirtl Tlmt the Coxey Move Ik to He the Nucleii* For a Meeting. W ashinoton, April 9.—Concerning the possibility of a silver convention to be held in the near future, President A. J. Warner of the Bimetallic league says: “The report that such a convention is to be held in Washington at or near the time of the arrival of Coxey and his army is an absurdity. At least., the Bimetallic league has nothing to do with such a plan. I do not know of any convention of this kind to be held in Washington. and I do not believe that there will be one. The Bimetallic league, however, has considered the advisability of holding a vast silver convention somewhere in the south, possibly in Memphis. No definite arrangements have been made, however, and the time has not been set. It is not even decided that the convention will lie held.” TILLMAN'S CRITICISMS. I#> Characteristic Terms He Denounces Freshlent ami Congressmen. Columbia, S. C.. April 9.—Governor Tillman, in discussing a letter from a western Populist in which the governor was criticised for not coming out as a Populist, said to an Associated Press reporter: “The newspapers call me a Populist. I will tell them that 1 am the truest representative of Jeffersonian Democracy in American politics today. Let me tell you, I don’t see anything ahead now hut for the southern Democrats to combine their forces with the western Populists and go into the next national campaign on new party lines. The northeastern Democrats and Republicans are now together. It is a combination of the moneyed interests. 1 despise Cleveland and his mugwumps. He is no lietter than the rankest Republican. He has destroyed the Democratic party. Thi south and west will be forced to unite and have a complete reorganization oi party lines." He continued and denounced the seigniorage bill veto as a bargain with bankers, declaring that the whole thing was such a scheme of robbery that the president ought to be impeached for it. If the cowardly congressmen had any appreciation of their duty they would impeach him. The president, he says, is owned body and soul by the scoundrels. The issuance of bonds he denounces as a farce and treason to the masses. Asked as to what he would do, he said: “Well, I’ll tell you. I think that the silver men of this country ought to meet in convention at Memphis or St. Louis and organize a fight to control the nex; congress. Let the west and the souih cast aside all questions upon which they now have any differences and get together. It is a tight b» tween gold and silver, or poverty and prosperity. One more word as to Mr. Cleveland. I think that it is most damnable and outrageous, his being dictated to and brought up by these bondholders. It is debasing his high office. He is abusing his power to dicker with such people and barter away the people’s blood, even upon the pretext of financial relief.

Horrilite Fate of Two (’hieago Men Who Suit the Cage In Motion anil Vonlil Not Escape— Inilian Stnilent In an Oklahoma .Mission School Thrown I'roui a Third Floor Window —Casualties. Memphis, April 9.—Yesterday morning the brick 3-story building at 154 and 156 Beale street collapsed. Four persons

were killed and five wounded, and there

are believed to be two others in the ruins. All the killed, injured and missing are negroes of the lowest class. The building was built in 1860 and was regarded

as unsafe because of inferior construction and the fact that for years water has stood in the cellars. The first floor of 150 was occupied as a storehouse for feed and the upper stories were rented

to two negro families, all of whom es-

caped unhurt. No. 154’s first floor was vacant. The upper floors were cut up

into lodging rooms for negro women and

men. The killed are:

Andy Simmons, aged is, deaf. John Morg an, aged 80, barber.

Wii-'. Cook, aged is, barber. Iz»i m. Marks, aged 25.

Five wounded are at the city hospital. Two others were in the building when it fell and search is being made for their

bedies.

Chicago, April 9,—Frank Kennedy was crushed to death and Frederick Koenig perhaps fatally injured beneath an elevator m the Columbus Cloak company’s store while making some repairs. They were startled by seeing the elevator cable in motion, and looking up saw the cage coming down upon them. Before they could move all means of escajie were shut off. Both Kennedy and Koenig shouted for help and then both were ; crushed by the heavy cage which settled down upon them, the men's cries were heard and when tiie heavy elevator was raised from the bodies of the unfortunate men Kennedy was dead and Koenig unconscious. Both were married. How

the elevator started is unknown. THROWN FROM A WINDOW.

Guthrie, O. T., April 9.—A terribl“ tragedy is reported from the Baptist mission college at Wewewaka, capital city of the Seminole nation, the outgrowth of differences between white and red students, who have been quarreling for some time.

THREATENED LOCKOUT. CliirnRo rinitraotorx l*re|>arlni; to M.vf Alleicvri Arrogance Among Workmen. Chicago, April 9.—There is a strong | probability that the employers of labor in the various building trades will de- ! dare ti lockout by next Wednesday and throw from 60,000 to 100,000 men out of work. At a meeting of the executive committee of the Building league, made up of contractors in all branches of the j building trades, it was the unanimous sentiment that a lockout had become a | necessity for the reorganization of the building trade along lines which would enable the contractor to control his own business without interference from the labor leaders who, it is claimed, have become too arrogant in their demands of late. The matter will lie definitely decided at a meeting tomorrow. The men declare that the lockout will not lie declared, and that they will win if it is.

Cincinnati, April 9.—Ex-Congressman i Ben Butterworth lectured here Saturday night. In discussing the BreckinridgePollard case with a reporter he described the plaintiff as the equal of Clara Morris or Sarah Bernhardt as an actress, saying she has wonderful ability in simulating passion or emotion. Of the merits of the case and his coming argu-

ment for the defense he said:

“There is no condoning of Mr. Breckinridge. 1 will not do it. He does not want it. 1 believe he would discharge me from the case if I did offer anything in extenuation. He has done wrong.

She has done wrong, and especially has she done wrong in bringing this suit. I do not think this case will destroy Breckinridge's usefulness. He will stand for re-election. Miss Pollard is the most remarkable witness 1 ever saw. or ever heard of. or ever read of. She has her case thoroughly in hand: every detail

of it.

“I never saw anything like the tact and art of tins woman. If there is a time when she has not a ready answer she will make a plea for sympathy to gain time, and all the time her mind is active to coin some nice phrase or apt one in which to reply. You remember when she pleaded that 1 was hard on her. That was to gain time to think in a critical moment. She has nothing to gain if she wins her suit, where she could have hud everything her own way had she so willed. She could have gone anywhere or done anything, and a word from her would have been law with Breckinridge. She could have hud what she wanted. If Breckinridge loses he will move for a new trial: failing in that, he will appeal.” SURI'RISING SERMON. Raltiniore Fast or Ureatex a Sensation In Referring to the Pollard Case. Baltimore:. April 9.—A sensation was occasioned last evening in the congregation of the Twelfth Presbyterian church by the stariliug utterances of Rev. D. B. Greigg, pastor, who preached on the Breckinridge-Pollard suit. His text was “Stones Thrown from Glass Houses: a Presbyterian Colonel now a Target." The reverend gentleman warned his hearers to beware of passing judgment upon their fellows and reminded them of the Saviour's declaration "Let him who is without sin among you cast the stone.” Society and the world should be charitable anil f< a-give both parties. He had no doubt there were many equally as culpable, and perhaps such could be found among those before him. His remarks created surprise and were warmly discussed after the service, some condemning and others approving. Iitmr<l< a i*M l*oiHoiii‘<i, One Fatally. Danville, Ills., April 9.—At C. L.

PREPARING FOR COXEY.

Wasliinatim Alremly Arresting Tramps

ami Maklnj; Plans Fur Olliers.

Washington, April 8.—The unceremonious manner in which a irieghtcar load of 42 unemployed from Cincinnati were taken in charge by the police Saturday night is a foretaste of the reception that awaits Coxey's army. This morning the men were brought into police court on charges of vagrancy. Several of them promised to leave town and were dismissed, while others go to the stonepile for 90 days. Captain Primrose, leader of the band, may find himself in more serious trouble, as there is an old statute which provides a fine of §25 to §50 for bringing into the district any person likely to become a public charge. The police authorities are considering the advisability of bringing a charge of violating this law against the leader, in which case his fines, with the alternative workhouse imprisonment, would amount to a very heavy punishment. The same charge may be brought against Coxey if disaster does not overtake the army of the commonweal before it completes i's itinerary. < )f course, the vagrancy act may be brought into application against his followers, and beside, there are two other laws which can be enforced against him—that regulating the use of the capitol grounds and a local law prohibiting men from congregating on public or private steps. Chief Moore says the laws are to be en-

forced.

The details of the police movement against Coxey are kept a secret. No doubt he will be met at the District limits and if the numbers of his army are too great for the police to cope with the local militia will be called to their aid. What to do with the army when it arrives and is taken into custody, if it should lie. is a difficult question, because the jails and station houses of Washington will not accommodate such a crowd. To simply repulse the men and tVirbid them to enter the district would be to turn them loose on the suburban residents of Virginia and Maryland, and this is an aspect of the matter which gives rise to much uneasiness here. m.aim:'s hoy hood home. Coxey** Weary Men Marched Into HrowiiMYille La*! Night. Brownsville, Pa., April 9. — This town, where the distinguished and lamented Blaine spent the greater jiortion of his boyhood days, welcomed the army of the commonweal fairly well la.-t night. Great curiosity has been for weeks aroused over the proposed arrival, and the usual Sabbath quiet was disturbed early in the afternoon by the congregation of people upon the streets. It was not until 7 o clock that the bugle was heard sounding down the valley, and just as twilight was deepening into night the commonweal of Christ marched over the Bridgeport bridge into the city. Ten thousand weary watchers viewed the tramp of 294 men. The army camped last night at Bracebridge hall in the center of town and the marchers retired early. The feeling in Mi mongahela City is generally favorable to the Coxey movement, but no recruits were received. ORGANIZING in boston. Coxey’* Admirer* Face Wind and Snow While Meeting on the Coni in on. Boston, April 9.—In a blinding snowstorm, with a bitter cold wind accompaniment. Morrison Swift and a group uf devote followers held a meeting on the Common yesterday afternoon to make arrangements for a battalion of 1,000 of Boston's unemployed to join Coxey’s army. An appeal to the rich ' for funds to purchase food and transpor- ; tation for the Boston contingent was ; unanimously adopted. Swift made a speech in which he denounced the newspapers in general, charging them with sending out biased reports about the Coxey movement. He said the men following Coxey were like the men who followed John Brown. Hi* Soldier* Pri**ent, but Didn’t Shoot. Ouden, l . T., April i). — Governor West, with a part of the state militia, arrived here yesterday and the chief executive went into conference with city and railroad officers, notifying the latter not to bring into the territory the industrial army recently started from California. After the consultation the troops planted a Gatling gun in the public square. It was stated that the industrials had halted outside Utah pending transjiortation arrangements with the Union Pacific, but when this road refused to carry the men without pay the Southern Pacific brought them into Ogden despite the governor, who characterizes t lie whole matter as a conspiracy between the Southern Pacific anil Cali-

fornia.

When the train arrived it was surrounded by the militia. The men were fed after two hours and are still under j guard. Officers are urging the railroad | to return them to the west.
