THE INDIAJNAl'OLIS JUURNAL, THURSDAY, MAKCH 31, 1892.

between tbe cotton-raisers of the Fouth, and the wool manufacturers of tbe North to enrich themselves at the expert of tho prosperity f the Nation. This charge wan made by Hepresentativo J. U. Taylor, of Ohio, and will doubtless bo tbe subject of some vigorous retorts from tho Democrat! c members later in the debate, Beyond this utterance, which attracted general attention, trie tariff discussion to-day was without anusaal incidents. It is settled now tbat this week willclosa the ceneral discussion on the free-wool bill. At a conference of the Democratic members of tbe ways and means committee to-day, it was formally decided tbat general debate on the Sprinter wool bill ahould close this week. Under this programme it is contemplated that the wool bill shall be taken np and passed on Monday, a few hours probably being previously allowed for debate nnder the live-minute rule. Chairman i-prmgrr trill himself appear in the llonse on Monday, and probably make tbe motion to suspend tbe rules lor the pasxao of tho bill. In accordance with tbe programme Mr. McMiilin. immediately after the meeting of the House, Announced the desire of the committee to cloae general! debate on Saturday, and moved tbat a night session bo held this evening for the fliscuasion of the wool bill. This motion was promptly agreed to. The first speaker of tho day was Kcprepentative Sutler of Iowa, who advocated the passage of tbe free-wool bill. The aim and purpose of the political action of every man on the lloor. he said, was to secure tho general welfare of the country without depriving tbe individual of his right to life, property and pursuit cf happiness. Speaking in regard to the intelligence of the American working men, Mr. butler was interrupted by Mr. Kay of New York, with the query as to what had made the American peoplo intelligent. "Why," replied Mr. Butler, "of course God Almighty gave us Intelligence." (Laughter.) "And a protective tariff?" was the addition suggested by Mr. Kay. amid ap?Iauee f roni tbe Kepublicans and derisive aughter from the Democrats. -Well." replied Mr. Butler, "if that proposition is true if a protective tariff gives us intelligence let ns put on a thousand per cent, tariff and we will all be Solomons." Laughter. Ml T?atr an (rrraat a4 ffiaf in thnia nnn.

Tries where there was impoverished labor there were no public schools. Tbe laboring men had to take their little children out of the cradk) and put them into the Workshop. Mr. Butler And all of those countries, except one. are protective tanli' countries. Laughter. 1 Mr. J. D. Taylor of Ohio, speaking for the "wool-growers of Ohio, strenuously opposed the measure. He regretted to be compelled to call in question the integrity of the report made by the majority of the committee ou ways and means. But the li cures iu regard to wool and woolen industries were entirely inaccurate and absolutely untrustworthy. He argued that this country could produce all tho wool that was needed. If in every Southern Mate the dogs could be killed and ehcep be aubstituted in their stead the Southern section would be more prosperous. The South needed protection. Inside of ten years the outh would bo demanding protection for its cotton, as to-day tbe people of Ohio were asking protection for their wool. lie predicted that free wool would be followed by free woolens in this country as in England, and that tho people would resent this conspiracy between the cotton-raisers of the South and tbe woo manufacturers of the North to en"rich themselves at the expense of our prosperity in time of peaco and our independence in time of war. He exhibited a pamphlet published by the Ohio Democratic committee in 1SS, which claimed that the reduction of the tariff on wool 2 C3nts or 3 cents per pound had reduced the Talne of the sheep, the value of wool and the value of the land in Ohio $0,000,000 in a single year, lie closed with an eloquent defense of the McKinley act. HAS NO SILVER LINING. The Cloud That Hangs Over the Bland Bill In Growing Darker. Washington, March CO. One or more of the silver petitions are still circulating in the House, but there does not seem to bo any probability that a sulUcient number of aignatnres will be secured. A number of members have asked for the petition in the last day or two and have signed it. These have been, as a rule, men whose districts are strongly pro-silver. Just how many sanies have been secured is uncertain, rep rts dillcring greatly. A largo number of silver Democrats have assured their antiSilver associates that they would not aureo to petition for a cloture rule, and Mr. Tracey says tbe number is so groat an to niako a majority for a rule impossible. The antitsilvermen say they have also received sufficient assurance to make them coniident they could now beat the bill on a direct Tote. The subject has not received the close, studious, almost fearful attention of a few days ag, and it is considerod as practically oettled. There was some quiet consultation among individual Senators on the Democratic side of the chamber to-day. relative to the notion given by Senator Stewart of his intention to call up the silver bill next Monday. There ban been a change in erntiluenton this subject since the last Congress, but to what extent is not possible to determine, as Senators do not caro to anticipate their action when the bill comes to a vote. It is now stated that tbert will be no ertort made to unite the Democrats, and each Senator will exercise his individual judgment in casting his vote. 1U1Z MODUS VIVENDI. Conference Between tbe President, Mr. Illalne and General Foster on the Subject. Washington, March TO. Secretary Blaine has resumed tho discharge of his ollicial duties and will conduct all further negotiations on behalf of this government in tbe Behring so:, matter. Gen. J. W. Foster will continue to assist in the conduct of these negotiations as well as others affecting the commercial interests of the United States. The two gentlemen named had a conference with tho President this morn id 2 iu regard to the details of the reply to be made to Lord Salisbury's note or iho iXth mst.. agreeing to renewal of last year's modus viveudi under certain conditions respecting indemnity. As hn been already stated, this government has practicallv decided to accept these conditions, with certain restrictions, and it is understood that a lotter. prepared Oy Secretary Blaine, was accepted at the conference this loornics. as defining tbe position of tbis government on the subject. These views will probably be communicated to Sir Julian l'auncelote to-morrow, and ns thoy call for no material change in tho proposition of Lord Salisbury, it is expected that an agreement on that point will bo reached in a short time. It is said that no further action will be taken in regard to the arbitration treaty nntil the arrangements for the m6dus have been completed. The British minister has been otbcially informed of the ratification of the treaty and has undoubtedly communicated the fact to the borne government. In the meantime General Foster and his assistants are busily engaged in the preliminary preparations of the case of tbe United States for submission to tho arbiters. The personnel of that tribunal will not be announced for several weeks. It is settled, however, that Gen. J. W. Foster will be the agent and Judge E. J. Phelps, of Vermont, tho loading counsel in behalf of the United States. There will be other counsel, but they have not as yet been selected. Senator Spooner, of Wisconsin, will probably bo invited to act in that capacity. It is stated on authority that the two arbitrators on behalf of the United States have not yet been chosen. The report that Austria or some other country had been substituted for Italy as one of the neutral countries to nominate an arbitrator is otliciaily denied. Following: Up the Seal Herri. San Francisco, March CO. The majority of the sealing fleet from this city is now well upon the British coast. Kosco Parks, the smallest of the lot, was spoken on Sunday only forty miles north of Port Keys. She was then in the thick of tho seal procession and had over one hundred skins in her hold. Tbe Walla Walla spoke the Genevieve toward Cape Modoc. She had 270 seal-skins. Both vessels reported immense quantities of seals. Claims of Cnnadlau Pirates. , Ottawa. Ont., March CO.

DAWES CROWS SARCASTIC. He Doesn't Want the Indian Agencies Turned Orer to Army Officers. Washington, March CO. In the Senate to-day Mr. Stanford spoke in favor of establishing a fixed nnit of value and making whatever the government chose to declare a representative of unit of value a legal tender for all debts public and private. At the conclusion of Mr. Stanford's speech a protrated debate on the House provision in the Indian appropriation bill transferring the Indian agencies to army ollicers followed. The discussion lasted over two hours, and was closed by Mr. Dawes, chairman of the committee on Iudian atlairs. who had charge of the bill, in an argrument against the House provision as being a radical change in the administration of the Indian service a change sprung by a sinale member of the House and which had not received the sanction of any executive otlicer. He complimented Mr. Proctor's brilliant administration of tho War Department, although the Pino Ilidjze difficulties which had occurred during that administration, "resulting in a cold blooded butchery of 150 men and women, and a debt of J.5t0.000,fori!i no part of its glory." If civil places were wanted for the two hundred supernumerary, highly educated army officers why not. Mr. Dawes asked, find places for them in the customs service, which was so rotten, or in the land office service, which has been so run riot with by political hucksters out in the Western conntryf The committee on appropriations, ho stated, were unanimous in recommending that the House provision be struck out. Without reaching a vote the Senate adjourned. Thero were twenty-one members present when the House met this evening after recess. The twenty-one soon dwindled down to twelve, and after a few speeches tho House adjourned. MINOR MATTERS. Democrats Wish to Repeal the Mall Subsidy Act. Which Has Done Math Good. Washington, March SO. The report of the committee on merchant marine and fisheries, recommending the repeal of the mail subsidy act, was submitted to the House to-day by Mr. Enloe. It takes the broad ground of dissent from the policy of granting subsidies to persons engaged in any character of pnrsuits whatever, which policy it asserts is robbery in the teeth of the law. If the principle of subsidy is right it should apply to all, and the cotton planter of the South has as much right to a subsidy or bounty as the ship-owners. sugar planters and tree-tappers who now receive it. The views of the minority are set forth at length, and aTe in substance an argument in favor of tho retention of the present law based upon figures showing aJ tzreat impetus given to ship-building under the new regime. Comment is made upon tho refusal of the majority to bear any testimony or investigate the working and benefits of the act, and it is maintained that if we had pursued, during tho past, a like policy of subsidy, we would have had to-day tbe grandest merchant marine in the world, and held the supremacy of tbe hiifh soas. instead of having paid to England, principally, during the last thirty years, the enormous tribute of over three billion dollars paid for transporting our goods. Senator Mills Sworn In. Special to the Indianapolis Jonrnal. Washington, March CO. Roger Quarles Mills shook the dust of the House off his feet to-day and marched over to the Senate, wing of the Capitol, where he will hereafter preach free trade, by the grace of the Texas Legislature. Many Representatives bade him good-bye. but Speaker Crisp was not among the number, so far as could be seen. When the Texan reached tbe Senate chamber he found flowers on his desk, which is on the extrome right of tbe Deracratio side of the room. Alter he had been sworn in he was compelled to hold a reception, as his former associates in tbe House crowded forward and caused more confusion than is usual in the decorous Sonate by extending warmly their congratulations. Minister Montt, of Chili, also extended his good wishes. Mr. Bland was by the side of (jieorpo Prod Williams, of Massachusetts, and Tom Watson, of-Georgia, and Jerry Simpson, of Kansas, by the side of Representative Sayer, of Texas, and Lynch, of Wisconsin, in the line of members wishing Mr. Mills success in his new held of dutv. It was tbe new Senator's sixtieth birthday, and he also received congratulations on that account. Must Do Its Own Telegraph Business. Washington, March SO. Justice Brewer, of the United States Supreme Court, sitting as a judge for tbe Circuit Court embracing the district of Nebraska, to-day rendered a decision in the suit brought by the United States against the Western Union Telegraph Company and the Union Pacibo Railway Company to have deolared illegal and annulled the contract between the Western Union and the Union Pacific by which the former operates the telegraph line along the line of tbe railroad. The decision is in favor of tho United States, seta aside the contract of U81 between the two companies and directs the Union Pacific hence forth to operate its own telegraph lines by its own agents and not through the instrumentality of the Western Union. The Charges Against Mr. Owen. Washington, March 0. Secretary Foster said this afternoon that he had furnished Mr. Owen, Superintendent of Immigration, with a copy of the charges preferred against him by Assistant Secretary Nettletou, and that he would await a reply before taking any further action in the matter. He mud that these charges were entirely outside of the investication being made by the joint congressional committee, and therefore would be acted on by tho department without regard to that investication. It is learned from other sources that the President will take no action in the controversy until Secretary Foster has concluded his investigation of the trouble between the two officials. Probably a "Fake." Washington, March CO. Xo confirmation is obtainable of a dispatch from Indianapolis to the effect that the government will pay SH 0,000 as indemnity to the families of the Italians murdered by the New Orleans mob in April last. Assistant Secretary of State Wharton says ho is utterly ignorant of information on the subject and he would be apt to know if any action had been taken or any recommendation made.

Isaao Witherald was divorced from his wife about one year ago, and took np his nbods with his brother-in-law, Dayton Boyd, who lives in the northeast part of Boone connty. It is rumored that since Witherald's separation from his wife he had been lavishing his affections on his noice. Boyd's daughter. and had received threats from the people to leave the neighborhood. He paid no attention to tbe talk, however, and last night a mob of White Caps, numbering about thirty, knocked at Boyd's door. Witherald, not suspecting danger, responded to the call, and was instantly seized; Ho was taken to the woods, stripped and tied to a tree, after wnich he was beatou with a blacksnako i whip unmercifully.

NEW USE FOR THE KITE. Life Line Successfully Conveyed Across Water by ths Aerial Traveler. KewTork, March so. Tho experiment of sending a life line acrbss an expanse of water by means of a kite was successfully conducted yesterday by Prof. James "Woodsby. With a small army of men Mr. Davis went ont to South Brother island, in Long Island sound. The kite, which, when folded, is tho size of an oar, was spread, and two lines attached. The latter were xun out from reels provided with ratchet wheels and hand-breaks. The kite was instautly in the strong wind and pulled hard. By means of the two lines it was drifted to left and right through an angle direction each of six and a half degrees, sweoplng in all. from left to right, through an angle of thirteen and a half degrees. Hiker's island is not directly to leeward of JSouth Brother, but tne kite was readily made to pull toward tbo south end of that island. Then two lines were attached to the main line at tbe buoy. The buoy was dragged by the kite down the beach, and went scurrying through the water. Attiuies it jumped eightfeet outof tbe water, and made leaps lorward of fifteen feet like a porpoue. It was dragged over a reef betore reaching the island, and finally was hauled on shore at Hikers island. The distance was not measured, but seemed to be more than half a mile. A strong wind was sweeping through the channel at right angles to tbe life lino, bearing it down stream in a great curve. After tbe kito and buoy had been detached by men sent to Biker's island it required four men to haul in the line that the kite had taken out. m WIFJS F0U SIX II0URS.

Longeneckf r, Prosecuting the Chicago Boodlers, Creates i Sensation. CniCAGO, March SO. A new sensation was furnished to-day in the beodle investigation which, it had been announced, was practically closed. The fresh cause of excitement was a personal encounter between State's Attorney Longenecker and reporter Mark II. Salt. In a moment of uncontrollable rage. Judge Longenecker struck Salt in the face, kicked him out of the Criminal Court building and ordered a bailiff not to allow him to come again within a rod of the State's attorney's office. Salt is the reporter who caused tbe indictment against M. B. Ilerely, the member of the Board of Education accused of conspiracy to bribe in connection with school-supply contracts. Last evening Salt's paper printed a column article violently abusing tbo State's attorney, directly charging him with retarding tho prosecution in tho interest of tho boodlers, and asserting tbat he dare not forco them to the wall. It also accused Mr. Longenecker of being a boodler himself, and having within six mouths after being elected State's attorney built a house costing (X).0C0. Salt to-day denied writing the article, but later admitted being the author of half of it. Judge Longenecker declared that so far from shielding accused persons, ho pushed the indictment of Hcrely, though the evidence was decidedly tlimsy. Tho State's attorney intimates that Salt may be indicted for criminal libel, and Salt threatens the arrest ot the State's attorney. This afternoon the State's attorney was served with a warrant sworn out by Salt, and held in $200 bonds to answer Saturday for the attack on the newspaper man. Citizens' Committee at Work.

SUFFERED FOR IIIS CRIMES Joseph Lyttle Sharpens flis Hatchet and Chops His Wife and Daughters. An Ohio Mob Thought He Was Fit Subject for Lynching, and Hanged Him to a Telegraph Pole This Morning. Fin play, O., March SI Joseph Lytle butchered his divorced wife and his two daughters in a horrible manner this morning. - He was an inmate of the National Soldiers' Home at Dayton, hut got leave of absence and returned home with murder in his heart on Sunday. From that day till the moment of his bloody crime he stayed quietly in the house with his unsuspecting though estranged family. Yesterday he carefully sharpened his murderous hatchet After breakfast this morning he crushed the skull his daughter Delia with the pole of the hatchet, and leaving her for dead dealt a blow at his daughter Emma, who, dodging it, escaped with a comparatively slight wound. Then he rushed at the woman who was once his wife. Giant though he was and weakling she, a terrible struggle ensued. He rained blows on her which she warded ott with desperate energy. Six blows landed on her head without breaking her skull. Ouo blow cut a linger off her right hand. Then the woman was exhausted, and the fiendish ex-husband crushed her skull. After this he cut tho piauo, tbe pictures and all the f nrniture to pieces and gave himself up. The jail is guarded to-night, and publio feeling is at the lynching point. Mrs. Lytle and Delia will die. The only motive assigned la total depravity. Lynched this Horning. Fixdlay, O., Maroh 31. About 1 o'clock this morning a mob of 1,000 surrounded the jail where Lytle was confined. The windows ot the jail were broken, bnt the cell of the prisoner could not be reached by that means. They then procured oil-well drills and battered down the doors and the murderous wretch was at their mercy. He was dragged out into the street and taken to a bridge a short distance away. A rope was put around his nock and one end thrown over a cross-piece of the structure. When the mob was ta the act of pulling him up a shot from a revolver parted the rope and the man fell to tbe ground. Bnt tbe mob was determined that the wretch should die. He was quickly picked up and hustled to the nearest telegraph pole, where the lynching was completed. He died without a straggle. The officials had intended to secretly convey the prisoner to the suburbs, but their plans were frustrated by the vigilance of the mob. Lytle had evidently expected the fate he met. for he left a note asking that hii body he turned over to his brother and that it be buried beside his mother. His victims are still alive, bnt the death of Mrs. Lyttle and her daughter Delia is hourly expected. When the mob made a rush on the jail, it did not attempt to get the shenfTs keys, but hurried back to tho corridor. Lytle was perfectly game, and called the mob's attention to his own cell, as the one wanted. After working nearly an hour the cell was battered down and the doomed man dragged out. He was taken several blocks to the Main-street bridge. A rope was furnished and one end thrown over one of the too girders. Another moment and the body of Joseph Lytle Bwung in tbe air. Only for a moment, however, as a stray bullet cut the rope and the body fell. The mob canght the end of the rope and dragged the victim through the street about two hundred feet, and again the rope was hoisted over a telegraph polo arm. As the body was pulled np half a dozen ehota wore fired and the end of the awful tragedy came. The mob is said to have been of the best citizens, but was poorly organized. PANIC-STRICKEN (JUESfS.
