Senator Tnrpie Makes a Sensjitiona! Attack on Senator AMrich.

LIVELY DAY IN THE SENATE.

Tlie Ilitode Island IMember ('harmed With Being a Memlaeioua Liar — Brief Iteto tlie Hotinier’s Accusatiotis. Voorhees Answer* Sherman—Death of Frank Hatton—News of the Nation. Washington. May 1. — Yesterday’s senate session was characterized by exciting incidents, which begun with Mr. Harris’ show of impatience at Mr. Hale's ojK'ning hour impediments and ended with Mr. Turpie’s remarkable attack on Mr. Aldrich, and when the tariff bill came up there was sharp talk about the compromise ami Mr. Carlisle's interview. Mr. Aldrich started with the assertion that he thought it a strange coincidence that the executive officers of the government seemed always in possession of advance information regarding the progress of tariff reform, which information was in direct conflict with the recent statement of the chairman of the tinance committee. In reply to a remark by Mr. Vest that Mr. Aldrich had been falsely informed concerning the proposed amendments, Mr. Aldrich accepted the challenge and rose with the statement on his lips that he was “informed and believed that amendments had been prepared to the bill since't had been reported to the senate, as he nad previously stated." He declared that on this account the senate was no nearer the end of consideration of the bill than three months ago. Mr. Mills and Mr. Palmer took occasion to declare that, whatever the amendments, they should only vote for them if they met with approval. Yoorhee* ami Sherman. Mr. Voorhees. slightly pale and not quite steady from recent illness, replied to Senator Sherman's recent speech in which it was charged that the finance committee had not had an opportunity to consider the bill in the usual way. Mr. Voorhees insisted that the record showed that the bill had been considered in every detail, from end to end, and that the minority had had ample opjKirtunity to offei amendments. He (tailed particular attention to Mr. Aldrich’s motion made in committee to strike out the income tax feature. “I desire to say right here.” s lid he, commenting on this motion, “no matter what rumors may bo floating in tie air, that income tax will stay in this bill.” Sharp colloquy followed, in which several senators took part, Mr. Harris vainly endeavoring to bring it to a close. Frofonml H«ii«i»tloii Created by Tnrfile. Afterward an incident occurred which created a profound sensation. All the Democrats had been more or less irritated by the prodding from the other side, and feeling was directed principally against Mr. Aldrich, ft was herfe that Mr. Turpie made a direct assault upon Mr. Aldrich the like of which has not been heard in the senate chamber for years. He declared that three monstrous untruths had characterized the opposition—three gross, palpable lies of inconceivable mendacity. The first was that a new bill was being prepared by the secretary of the treasury; the second, that three or 300 amendments (it didn't matter which) were to be presented, and the third that the bill reported from the finance committee wasn't the bill to be passed. All these assertions had been categorically denied by the four Democratic members of the finance committee. “And yet.” continued Mr. Turpie, raising his hand aloft and stretching it toward Mr. Aldrich, “the senator from Rhode Island oomes in here and says he believes they are true. There could be no sharper issue of veracity. I prefer to believe and I do believe the senators on tins side, and I disbelieve the senators (no, 1 will not say senators) I disbelieve the diminutive imit on the other side who asserts the contrary. Who is the author of these reports? Who claims the paternity of the senator from Rhode Island. 1 recollect the predecessor of the honorable senator from Rhode Island,” he continued, with biting and venomous irony | referring to the earlier Senator Aldrich as a different individual from the Senator Aldrich of today], “but even he couldn't then have been the author of all three of these untruths. He might have lieen the author of one. hut three would have driven him from the field. He had been a drug clerk and was thoroughly familiar with that line of business, and of other lines as a wholesale grocer. We who were here then will never forget the writhing of his distinguished countenance, his enormous development of cheek that extended from ear to ear and from chin to forehead. We will never forget his auricular appendages that scrajied the dome of the capitol. How can the present senator hope to rival his predecessor in the hate of truth and in the love of falsehood that has always characterized the cheats of protection V Alilrlrh's Answer. When Mr. Turpie sat down there was a hush. Everyone was amazed at the personal character of the attack. All eyes turned on the Rhode Island senator. He arose slowly. "In the position the senator from Indiana now takes,” he said slowly and deliberately, “he speaks for no one but himself. Under other circumstances and conditions I do not believe he would have made the sjieech he has made.” Mr. Aldrich took his seat. The incident closed without another word and Mr. tjuay took the floor and resumed the prepared speech he began some weeks ago.

PECULIAR LANDSLIDE. It Itlnrka a River, Ciiiise* »n OrerHnw ami Itranlt* In Drath ami Dratructlon. Quebec, May 1.—Friday night the inhabitants of the little village of St. Albans, 45 miles from here, heard a terrific noise resembling the roll of thunder in the distance. The soil vibrated and panic ensued. The people, believing the ground was opening under them, rushed away as fast as they could. Near the parish church is a curve in the river St. Anne, which makes a waterfall. The sides of the river, which are composed of clay and 150 feet high, caved in, blocking up the natural channel for a distance of five miles and to a depth of 17 feet, making the wafir rise 100 feet above the earth walls. The walls were not strong enough to keep in check the fury of the stream, and with a terrible roar and rush the water came down upon the unprotected village, carrying away bridges and all the lumber booms, along with the wharves. The house of Farmer Gautier, at St. Albans, is completely buried, and tffe four unfortunate people who occupied it are supposed to be crushed below. At the place where the* house was smothered smoke can be seen, and it is feared the house caught fire, which means sure death to the inmates. The accident has been especially severe on the dumb animals. Hundreds of cattle, sheep and pigs have perished. The exact place of the accident is not near a telegraph station. The piece of land which slid into the river is about a mile long and four miles wide. The latest information is to the effect that $500,0 HI worth of property has been destroyed and 12 people have been killed.

MICHIGAN SENATOR DEAD. Franc 1* B. Stockbririffc Kxplres Suddenly In CliicHifo. Chicago, May 1.—Senator Francis B. Stockb ridge of Michigan died suddenly at the residence of his nephew, J. L. Houghteling last evening. The senator expired while seated in a chair in his sleepingroom. Three weeks ago Senator and Mrs. Stockbridge came to Chicago from their home in Kalamazoo, intending to go to the Pacific coast. The senator, however, was suddenly attacked with stomach troubles and later suffered with acute pains near the heart. His condition at no time was considered serious, but he was confined to his bed for a day or two and he lost much strength. Death came when least expected and when he and his wife had begun to talk of returning home.

PLAYED WITH FIRE. f «ittle Girl Burner! to Death Throuq;h GarcIcMMiicsH of Tinner*. Mount Sterling, Ills., May 1.—A 6 year-old daughter of James Stout of Ripley was burned to death yesterday. Soni" tinners had been at work at Mr. Stout': residence, and when they finished and started to return to this city they dumped the fire out of their fire pot into a hole in the road a short distance from the house. The little girl and an elder brother found the coals and heaping dry leaves and twigs upon them built a bonfire. The little girl's clothing ignited and before assistance could reach her she was enveloped in flames. Injunction Against Striker*. Spsinufikld, Ills., May t.-rJoseph <4.

Washington, May 1.—-This morning ! Coxey’s move on the capitol began. Miss Mattie Coxey, the 17-year-old daughter of the general, rode at the head of the procession as the Goddess of Peace, and her bearing indicated that she was imbued with the correctness of her father’s notions. The little army marched in from Brightwood park some time before the start down Pennsylvania avenue, and some did not hesitate to express the opinion that the numerical strength of the procession was not great enough to impress congress, even should the attempt to reach the capitol ste[>s lie successful. There were not the promised hundred thousand, nor onehundredth of it, but the proud bearing of neither Coxey nor Browne seemed weakened by this fact. Browne claimed, however, that among the throngs along the street were 100,000 sympathizers and seemed content with this belief. The line was down the avenue past the white house, war department and treasury, and then slowly on toward the capitol, where the army will be met by officers who will ruthlessly say that the grounds cannot lie enter.d. Some commonwealers intimate that when repulsed the army will disband, its mem hers will enter the grounds as individuals and then do their sjioeohmaking under the great statue of Christopher Columbus on the steps. ••If they do,” says Major Moore, “they will lie arrested." Having finished their public demonstration. the commonweal soldiers will march to a vacant lot at Second and M streets, S. W., where they will pitch their tents. The leaders announce that this will be the permanent camp of the army until the Coxey bills are passed by congress. CONEVS AKKANGKU ENTS. Schemes l)pvi*«»»l Y«**tpr«biy For the* Event of Today. Washington, May 1.—When Coxey called yesterday on the district commissioners for authority to camp within the city, tie y were loath to grunt it on sanitary grounds, but finally gave in when the general agreed to make proper arrangements. “How long do you expect to remain here?" asked Commissioner Ross. Coxey smiled and chuckled audibly. "Why, we expect to remain here until we get action on our hills. The few men that are with us are only a forerunner of what is coming. Of course, when the full strength of the army arrives this lot will not be large enough.” Coxey went at 4 o'clock to the office of the sergeant-at-arms of the senate, armed with a letter of introduction from the chief of the police to Colonel Bright. He said to an Associated Press reporter: “Nothing remaina to us but to make an amicable arrangement for a meeting on the steps. We will not insist on marching into the grounds, hut when we reach the curb 1 will tell the boys to break ranks and inarch in like other citizens.” “Then what?" “Then the meeting will begin.” “Suppose the sergeant-at-arms objects?" “He cannot object. We can hold our meeting there, as the constitution givens a right to do. It would be another thing if we undertook to come inside the building and hold a meeting, but that we shall not assume to do.” “You will attempt the meeting then in the face of official objection?” “Yes, and regardless of the law, because of our constitutional rights.” Replying to a question as to whether he had received any encouragement from congress about the passage of his hills, he replied: “I have not. Congress will not act until forced to do so." Sergeant-at-Arms Brice of the senate and Snow of the house were closeted with (’oxey a quarter of an hour. They pointed out the statute, and in reply to his objections that th- law was unconstitutional they told him that they were here to execute the law and not to construe it. A score of out-of-town detectives from principal cities are in Washington.

Visit to Speaker frl-p. Washington, May 1.—Coxey started out last evening to obtain an interview with Messrs. Stevenson and Crisp and request them to suspend for today the regulation closing the capitol grounds to parades. It was not until 11:10 that Mr. Coxey was able to obtain an interview with Mr. Crisp. At that hour, however, he was received, and in company with Carl Browne remained 4(1 minutes. Mr. Crisp declined to interfere with the laws concerning the use of the capitol grounds and buildings. “The chief representative of the Democratic party in congress,” said Mr. Coxev, as he came downstairs, “has refused' to grant the rights to the American people.” Mr. Coxev went to the Normandie hotel twice during the evening to see the vice president, but Mr. Stevenson was out. Mr. Coxey’s plan is to take every step to bring about his object, not with the expectation of success, but for the purpose cf putting his case before the courts in the legal test which he expects. He will pi oceed until he is stopped by - the officers of the law. His plan is then to demand that he be arrested and he will apiieal to the courts.

Corrupt Dank Case Juror Scntunocl For is 'luiitli' For Contempt.

JUDGE EAFER’S COMMENT,

Oo-B«*t*v»*«*n staimard Waivi** Fxamlnntioii on the Charge of Coiinpiraey and Fiirni*heN a New Bond IVndhiff the Grand Jury Inve*tigation—Renewal «>t the Trial General State New*. Indianapolis, May 1.—Alvin Am 1 - strong, the Lawrence county federal juror who a week ago negotiated with Defendant Coffin in the famous bank ! case for a verdict of acquittal or a hanging of the jury, now languishes in Jail as a convict under sentence of 18 months in the northern prison, where he will lie : taken today or tomorrow. His conviction was for contempt of court, and rite prosecution laid before the judge the details of Armstrong's plans as outlined by Frank O. Stannard. the go-between. Armstrong made no defense save to introduce witnesses to prove a previous good character. In no other way did he or his attorneys attempt to condone the act by which he offered to vio late his oath as a jnror, and when the arguments were concluded Judge Raker passed the foregoing sentence, stating, however, that it should be without work. Armstrong apjteared totally indifferent during the proceedings and as he was being taken to jail said: “Well, the judge said I didn’t have to work. I don't care.” In pronouncing sentence upon Armstrong the judge said: He should have reflected that if there is anyone's presence, except the very presence of tiod, where virtue and honesty anil fidelity to one's obligation as a man are required, it is where the solemn interest of the citizen is being adjudicated I suppose the reason the United States congress has never put upon the statute books a law creating the crime of bribery or the a*tempt to bribe on the part of a jnror—lue attempt to accept a bribe on the part of a juror—was because it was supposed that sort of an offense, like the offense of piracy, was one that was hardly likely to tie committed. While I feel thus with ref ereuce to the character of the crime on one hand, I cannot but feel a compassion for the wife, and family, and friends, bn* however strongly I may feel it, it would tie misplaced if allowed to interfere with such performance of my duty as would make the crime of he juror a thing that should lie hereafter indulged. If it should come to be believed by the boily of our people that courts would condone or tolerate the perversion of justice by corrupt means or practices, the last hope of our institutions would vanish. On the charges of conspiracy Armstrong and Stannard each waived a preliminary hearing and were held to the federal grand jury in the sum of $4,000. a new bond being required and given by Stannard. The bank case was renewed this morn ing with the work of securing a new jury- , Warned to Burn to Death.
