WASHINGTON'. June 14. Ten minutes after meeting today the house went into committee of the whole on the Indian appropriation bi'.l. An amendment by Mr. Tickler appropriating Jö.OOO for artesian wells at Pine Ridge. Rr.sebud and Standing Rock ger.cies was agreed to. A bitter personal attack was made on !Mr. Holman by Mr. Johnson cf Indiana, who alluded to the influences which had operated to have Mr. Sayers appointed chairman of the committee on appropriations over th3 head of the older member of the committee Mr. Holman and had resulted in the latter petting control t)f but one appropriation bill instead of Ml. lie asserted that th habit of this "small and penurious man" (Mr. Hoinan) of "juggling" with the Indian appropriation bill wouii soon result in the extermination of the Indian, which purpose he believed was at the bottom of hl3 assignment to the chairmanship of the committee on Indian affairs. During all this tirade Mr. Holman sat quietly in his seat, giving no indication of having heard a word. A long debate was precipitated nn an amendment by Mr. Johnson raising the salary of the superintendent of Indian Echools from $2,500 t" 53.000. the figure at Which it was fixed in the current appropriation bill. The amendment was defeated by S' to 94. after it had been tue cause of hot words and almost a fight between Mr. Jonnson and Mr. Maddox of Georgia, who were kept apart by the sergeant-at-arms. The old sectarian question in connection with Indian schools was raised by Mr. Ge?r. who off -red an amendment providing: "It is hereby declared that it is the purpose of this act that no money herein appropriated shall be pid for education '.n sectarian schools, and the secretary of the interior is hereby authorized and required to make all needful rules r.nd regulations to prevent the use of said funds In sectarian schools." A point of order was made against this amendment by Mr. Tracy on the ground that it changed existing law, and the chair sustained the po'nt. The house at 4:56 adjourned. xo VOTE OX WOOL. The Senate Consume Another Day in Small Talk. Some routine business preceded the resumption of the tariff debate In the senate today. Bills were passed as follows: To pay Joseph Redfern, one of the Ford theater victims, J2.74S; to authorize the appointment of women as public school trustees in the District of Columbia; for the development and encouragement of Bilk cultur? in the United States; to pay the heirs of James Bridger $6,000; a bill tor the relief of the heirs of John .Weightman, passed some time ago, was, hn motion of Mr. Quay, considered and recommitted. When the tariff bill was laid before the senate Mr. Lodge took the floor with an argument against free wool. Mr. Teller followed Mr. Lodge with Borne remarks in favor of a duty on raw wool. In the course of his speech he Teal a statement from the New York Tribune, to th- effect that "senatorial auctioneers," in order to save the sugar schedule and pass their bills, had traded I off prohibitory duties on cotton and woolen?. Mr. Vest joined Mr. Aldrieh in an emphatic denial i'.it there had been any bargains to obtain prohibitory duties. Later, while discussing the reduction of the sales on woolens, Mr. Hawley interrupted Mr. Teller to remark that these reductions wo-ld result Inevitably in dowering the wages f the operatives 21 or 40 per cent. "Either a reduction of Wages or the manufacturers would quit." "They will not quit," replied Mr. Tel?r. "They have too much capital Involved. Thc.y will reduce wages, and operative, faced with starvation, wilr Btand the reduction. Men who live by their labor cannot make a successful contest against capital." Mr. Dolph followed with an argument against free wool. During the progress of his speech he remarked that it was whispered about the senate that the opposition to the bill had surrendered and that the bill would pass before the end of the present month. If he could prevent It, he declared, the bill would not be voted upon until the people had had a chance to give an expression of their opinion at the general elections next fall. When the hour of 8 o'clock arrived and 3Ir. Harris showed no sign of moving an adjournment, Mr. Quay interrupted Mr. Dolph and asked him if it would not be convenient for him to proceed tomorrow. "But the senator has not concluded his remarks," suggests Mr. Harris. "He is willing to wait until tomorrow,' aid Mr. Quay, good humored'.y. "The senator from Oregon." returned Mr. Harris, sarcastically, "has not been heard from before on this bill and I trust the senator from Pennsylvania will afford him the fullest opportunity to proceed with his remarks. Let him go on tonitrht," he added, with an imperious wave of his hand, but Mr. Quay was not willing, and after stating that the usual hour of adjournment had passed, he moved to adjourn. The motion was lost 16 to 23 whereupon Mr. Quay moved that the senate proceed with the consideration of executive business. This motion also was defeated 10 to 34 but it was apparent that the democratic managers could not Jorce the hands of the republicans tonight, and Mr. Harri3, after agiln calling- attention to the interminable delay upon thei bill, then yielded. In doing so he declared that he had had an understanding with Mr. Aldrich whereby, so for as two senators could bind their respective sides, a vote should have been-taken tonight on free ' wool. "P.oth he and I have been thwarted." said he. Mr. Aldrich confirmed this statement, fit the same time stating that the debate

cn this paragraph ot the wool schedule was about exhausted and he had no doubt a vote would be had upon it tomorrow. Mr. Harris said he would yWd to the Inevitable, but he held out the dire threat of a night session unless a vote was had tomorrow. Then, on his motion, at 6:15, the senate adjourned. The populists of the senate, Allen. Peffer, Kyle and Stewart, have held several conferences during the day on the subject of free wool and the four have decided to vote for the Peffer amendments giving wool 5 or 6 cents a pound protection.

THE ARMOR FLATE FR AID. $111 Tell Hot1 Superintendent Kline Doctored the Reports. Charles Edgar Sill, the former Carnegie workman, who has made the chief disclosurej concerning defective armor plate furnished the government, was before the congressional investigating committee today. The hearing drew together many interested spectators. Including naval experts and members of congress not directly prosecuting the investigation. There was little of a criminating character in the testimony until Sill told of the manner in which he made written reports on the result of certain processes of the manufacture. The reports were then put on the desk of Superintendent Kline, who changed them so as to make them show that the processes conformed to the requiremnts and specifications of the government contract. Sill took his report from original entries on slates used by the workmen, showing what they had actually done. After Klin? had changed the reports they were returned to Sill who made up a complete report, including Kline's alterations, to be submitted to the government officials as the record of what had been done. Mr. Sill related how Superintendent Kline had given orders for retreating ends of plates to cover up defects. The orders were written ar.l verbal end often by diagram. Sill showed a rough diagram which constituted one of tfc orders. The diagram, which was closely scrutinized by the committee. Sill said, was made by Kline and the wording of it was In Kline's handwriting. The witness had a bundle of these diagrams. "Do you mean to say," asked representative Dolliver. "that these diagrams were for the purpose of producing false and fraudulent results on the government?" "I do." "And he left the evidence of this bogus work in ycur hands?" "H? did." "lio-.v much did you get from tha government as an informer?" asked Mr. Delliver. "Six thousand dollars," answered Sili. who said he was led to make the disclosures throuch the ill-treatment ho and others received from Kline. The latter. Si!! said, was a "hum in brute." Mr. Cummings asked what had become cf the books which showed the real work done. Sill said he had seen Superintendent Klin0 burn two of the books. Three other books had disappeared after the information was given to the navy department. President to Tnto nn Onting. By the advice of his pbyshian President Cleveland has decided to take a short outing down Chesapeake hiy. The attack of pumm?r complaint that has kept Mr. Cleveland closely confined to his rooms during the last few days has yielded to treatment and with the exception of a slight weakness he is quite himself again. His physician, however, thought that a four or five days' trip down to salt water would entirely restore his usual vigor. The President Leaven Wnxhlnsrton. President Cleveland has quitted Washington for rest and recuperation from his recent Illness. At 7:30 this evening he stooped into a carriage at the white bouse, accompanied by Private Secretary Thurber and Dr. O'Reilly, the white house physician, and drove to the steamboat wharves, where the lighthouse tender Maple was lyinp. Capt. Kabiey P. Kvans wa3 in waiting and the president. Dr. O'Reilly and Capt. Kvans boarded the tender. which started promptly down the Potomac.

I. ITood & Co., Lowell, Mass.: " Beginning in February, '2, I was very sick for two months. Slowly I got better but was confined to my bed. A physician said I had a , Pelvic Abscess In My Side. After an operation I did not improve, the abscess continuing to illschargo even more freely than before. In two months time three operations were performed and tubes inserted to carry o3 the impurities, but all iu vain.

Compliment to Mr. Conn. BUREAU OF THE SENTINEL. WASHINGTON'. D. C, June 11. A very graceful compliment was paid Representative Conn of Elkhart today by the local committee which is making the preparations for the coming encampment of the Pythians here.

BUREAU OF THE SENTINEL, WASHINGTON, D. C, June 1G. Representative Cooper returned from Indiana la?t night. When he entered th ; house today he found his desk loaded with an immense bouquet which admirers had caused to be placed there on account of his renomination to congress. Mr. Cooper was hearlily congratulated by his colleagues. THE PULLMAN STRIKE. Vice-President WlcUen Refnses to Treat with the Men. CHICAGO, June 15. At the American railway union convention today the Pullman strike committee reported that the company had refused to treat with representatives of the union, but that Second Vice-President Wiekes had said that he would treat with his ex-employes. President Debs urged that a committee of employes be appointed. "We do not care whether they recognize our union or not," he said. "What we want is a restoration of the old wages." The whole matter of the strike was referred to the Pullman delegation with instructions to appoint a committee of their own men to confer with the company. After some deliberation Vice-President Wiekes refused to treat with the men. He informed the members that if they desired to submit a proposition they must again become employes of the company. After they had reported to the manager at the works he said he would treat with thtm, but not before. A proposition to establish a labor trust company in every state in the union, with a general body at Washington, and a large capital stock to be subscribed for by workingmen for the purpose of creating a perpetual fund for the benefit of v.urhingmen, to carry on strikes, etc., was introduced by Charles M. Moore, a day laborer. The proposition was referred to the committee on general work. The idea will probably be enlarged upon and adopted by the convention. When the committee of Pullman strikers reported to the convention that Second Vice-President Wiekes had declined to treat with them, except as actual employes, the convention decided to leave the whole matter to the directors anel general officers of the union to take any action In the future which they may deem proper to bring the strike to a successful termination. EXCITEMENT AT A PRIMARY. Fights and Bloodshed Occur nt linn-ting-ton, "W. Va. HUNTINGTON, W. Va., June 16. There was the greatest excitement In this city today over the democratic primary election. Shortly after the pedis were open Marshal Vinson and Deputy Marshal Regan began active work for legislative candidates who favored the reelection of Senator Camden. Tills enraged those who were working in the interest of candidates favoring the election of ex-Governor Wilson to the senate, and as a consequence several fights took place and considerable blood was shed. One of the rows took place In the city hall and George Vinson, a deputy marshal, pulled a PTun on Beauregard McCaw and was going to shoot him when ex-Congressman Gibson rushed In and this so enraged Vinson that he turned on Gibson and would have shot him had the police not Interfered.

WOOL WILL STA!

As Fixed by the Committee Report. The McKinley Duty Will Not Bo Restored. ATESTV0TE IN THE SENATE Showing How the Senators Feel on the Subject And Giving an Index to Their True Sentiments. Stewart Votes with the Democrats for Free "Wool Chandler's Amendment Is Defeated The Popnllsts Indulge In a Good Deal of Jnsgllns with Their Votes Other Washington J'ewi. WASHINGTON. June 15. In the senate today Mr. Stewart secured unanimous consent for the passage of his bill to amend the chapter of the revised statutes relating to mineral lands and mining resources. When the tariff bill was laid before the senate Mr. Dolph took the floor and resumed the speech he was making against free wool when the senate adjourned last night. Some observations about silver made by Mr. Dolph tVught Mr. Stewart to his feet in reply. He entered upon a free silver argument fcr half an hour, and then Mr. Carey made a final protest against placing word ort the free list. Mr. Kyle- definc-d his position on the subject of free wool. The first vote on wool was taken at 3 o'clock on Mr. Teller's motion to restore the McKinley rate on wool. Lost 23 to 37. A party vote, Mr. Stewart voting yea and Peffer and other populists nay. Conferences between democratic and republican leaders on the question of progress on the wool schedule have been barren of results. ,The republicans are strenuous In the demand for concessions, which democrats are not prepared to grant. The threat to filihuster is heard in republican quarters, but even with a resort to that the leaders have no hope that they will be able to gain a point. Some dependence has been placed upon Senators Kyle and Al!en ultimately voting with the republicans, :but since the speech of Mr. Kyle today that has been seen to be futile. The ultimatum of the democratic leaders is that free wool and the Income tax must be in: the tariff bill. The margin by which the democrats hold the senate is so narrow, however, that they scarcely dare resort to arbitrary measures to force a vote. .. The vote on the democratic side on the wool schedule originated m the proposition to change the paragraph on women's and children's goods so as to make CO cents per pound value the dividing line between the rates of 40 'cents and 50 cents ad valorem inie.id of $1 as provided in the Jones compromise amendment, but even that action was not taken without more or less objection, and now that the question has been reopened they are manifesting a disposition to even oppose the original compromise and to dem.iiul the restoration of the house rate. They contend that with wool on the free list there is no longer reason for anything like a compensatory duty on woolen manufactures. They are holding out very persistently and the tariff managers confess that the result of the various conferences cannot yet be outlined. The republicans, on the other hand, are holding out stiffly for even a greater concession than the finance committee has shown a disposition to grant. Mr. Peffer offered some modifications to his proposed amendment for a duty on raw wool. Where the McKinley law levies a duty on iirst-cluss wool of 11 cents he proposed a duty of 5 cents; In the place of the McKinley rate of 12 cents on second class-wod he proposed to change to 6 cents. 1 Wool of the third class, worth 13 cents or less, is to pay 15 per cent, duty ad valorem, and worth over 13 cents is to pay 2"( per cent., bearing in place of the McKinley rates of 33 per cent, and 50 per tent. A eliscussion followed In which Messrr. Morrill, Cullom, Vest, Sherman and Aidrich took part. Mr. TeTIer offered as a substitute . for Mr. pe ffer's amendment the McKinley classification and rates, 11 cents on first-class wool, 12 cents on second-class. 33 per cent, on third-class wool valued at 13 cents per pound or less, and 50 per cent, on third-class wool valued at over 13 cents. The substitute was defeated by a strict party vote 29 to 37 Messrs. Allen. Kyle and Peffer, populists, voting with the democrats against it and Mr. Stewart (New) in favor of it. Mr. Powers, a republican of Montana, offereel another substitute fixing the rates at 7 and 8 cent?, respectively, on first and second-class wools and 25 per cent, and 33 per cent, ad valorem on third-class wools. It was defeated 29 to 37. The vote then recurred on Mr. Peffer's amendment, which reduced the McKinley rates an average of about 50 per cent. The three populists change-d front on this amendment and voted with the republicans in favor of It, but the democratic lines were unbroken and the amendment was lost 33 to 35. Mr. Hill refrained from voting. Mr. Irby was paired against the amendment. An amendment was then sent to the clerk's desk and read, increasing from 15 per cent., as it is now in the bill, to 30 per cent, the duty on wool in the form of stubbing waste, roving waste, mingo, shoddy, noits or other waste product. The vice-president announced that it was offered by Mr. Sherman lost 29 to 34. Mr. Peffer then offerd an amendment to place all articles of manufactures composed wholly or in part of wool, hair of the goat, camel, or alpaca, on the free list. After some discussion of this amendment, at 6 o'clock, on Mr. Coekrell's motion, the bill providing for the deficiency in the appropriations for the government printing oflice, 'as passed and then at 6:10 the senate went into executive scsion and ten miutes later adjourned. AVILI, UK imicti:u. The Recalcitrant Witnesses "Will Have Trouble. The presence of Theodore Havemeyer, vice-president of the sugar trust, in the city caused the senate investigating committee to change its plans for today and to put Mr. Havemeyer on the stand instead of beginning the examination of the members of the senate, as had been contemplated. The ejuestions in the first part of the inepiiry were very similar to those asked of II. O. Havemeyer and Mr. Searles, but Ihe answers were not in all cases o specific, because the witness of today has not been so active In the management of the affairs of the company as has been his brother and Mr. Searles. Mr. Havemeyer's examination occupied only a short time. The committee did not think that the testimony was of particular Importance or that it developed any facts that have not been brought out. After Mr. Havemeyer had been dismissed each member of the committee

submitted to be catechized In the mo3t comprehensive manner as to whether he knew of any corrupt propositions made in relation to the sugar schedule or whether they had been interested in any way in speculation in sugar stock. The denials were as sweeping as the interrogations. After recess Senators Aldrich, Allison. Bate, Berry and Blackburn were put through the same catechism. Each member of the senate was asked to testify. District Attorney Birney said today that he was confident the recusant witnesses would be indicted within a very short time. It is understood that before adjournment today the grand jury authorized the indictment of Chapman. It was expected that either Senator Gray, chairman of the investigating committee, or Senator Allen would appear as the representative of the committee to testify to the refusal n the Chapman case, but instead the former forwarded by special messenger part of the stenographic reports of the testimony given by Mr. Chapman and embodying his refusals. The indictments against the trio of witnesses probably will be returned tomorrow, immediately following which the district attorney will cause warrants to be issued for the arrest of Messrs. Edwards. Shriver and Chapman, who, it is expected, will surrender and give bail, probably Jn 51.000 each. Senator Brice was detained longer before the committee than any other of the senators. He reiterated his declaration in his letter to Chairman Gray, in which he had said that he had not bought or sold a single share of sugar stock or dealt in industrial stocks of any kind. He declared: "Since entering the senate I have not been concerned in any way, directly or indirectly, in any property, securities, stocks, investments or speculations in anything that is mentioned in the tariff bill from the first line to the end of the free list, with the exception of some local manufacturing establishments in Lima and adjoining towns in Ohio. In other words, my investments and the things with which I am concerned are not connected with or affected by the operations cf the tariff act except as the general property of the country is." In the investigations Mr. Brice denied in general terms the allegations contained in the newspaper articles which is the basis of the investigation. The testimony of Mr. Brice corroberated that of Messrs. Terrell. Havemeyer and Reed as to the occurrences in the room at the Arlington. Senator Lodge "Did Mr. Havemeyer say anything about obligations of the party for gift of money?" Senator Brice "Absolutely nothing in any way. There was no reference to it in words or in intimation." Mr. Brice was very explicit and emphatic in his denial of any knowledge of campaign contributions from the sugar trust. He knew nothing of the contributions in 1S92 and he did not think Mr. Gorman did. Previous to July 1. 1S92, when he was in charge, .there were no contributions from the sugar trust or any one connected with it, so far as he knew. He never attended a meeting on Roredict's yacht at which pledges were made to the sugar interest. Senator Hill was detained in the room of the committee on investigation longer than seime of the other senators. In addition to the questions as to whether he had speculated in sugar or owned sugar stock, whioh were answered in the negative. Senator Hill was ejuestioned In regard to the meeting at the residence of Senator Brice when the sugar questions was discussed. He said that he was present at that time and listened to the Louisiana senator, who explained the suppr duties and told what was needed, but he did not remember seeing Havemeyer there. There was more or less discussion of the sugar schedule brothers present ar.d all listened to trre Louisiana senators. "I did the most of the listening," said Mr. Hill. He also answered questions regarding the vi.it of Mr. Havemeyer to his room when the latter asked him to interest himself in behalf of a sugar trust duty, Mr. 7 Til? r.id that Mr. Havemeyer would, no doubt, remember the details of the interview much beiier than he. as many people were calling upon him at that time in relation to New Vork state affairs, and he could not remember all the reeiuests made upon him. He did remember to have told Mr. Havemeyer that he was more interested in the income tax than any other feature of the bill. Besides the members of the committee the senators examined today were Messrs. Aldrich, Allison. Bate. Berry, Blackburn, Blanchard, Brice. Call, Camden. Carey, Chandler. Cockrell, Coke, Cullom. Daniel, Davis, Dixon, Dolph, Dubois. Faulkner. Frye, Gallinger, George, Gibson. Hale, Hanshrough. Harris, Hawley, Higgins, Hill, Hoar and Hunston.

o noxn issi'E. The Treasury omcials Have Little l'e.-ir. As the end of the fiscal year is only fifteen days distant treasury officials are able to give a fairly accurate estimate of the net results of the treasury's operations fcr the year. Up to this time the receipts aggregate $252,204.721 and the disbursements J355.197.337, leaving a deficit for the eleven and a half months of $73,992.C15 It is thought by the treasury officials that the total deficit for the year will not materially greater than it is now, and that $74,500,000 will probably more than cover it. Even should the custom receipts continue to decline and those from internal revenue remain as during the last fortnight, while the cash balance today reached S115.093.2S2. and the gold balance 567.804.972. the lowest pednt since the January bond issue, the situation is causing but little uneasiness at the treasury department. The progress made on the tariff bill during the last few days has encouraged the belief that it will become a law by July 13, and in that case the treasury experts are confident there will be no necessity for another bond issue. They argue that as soon as importers know what duties they will be required to pay they will at once place their orders that have been held during the last several months pending the tariff settlement. A large increase in the receipts from internal revenue is expected also. Owners of spirits now In bond, it Is contended, can better afford to pay even a very high rate of interest and take their goods from bond, than to wait until the law goes Into effect and pay the higher tax contemplated by the bill as it now stands. The situation is not regarded as at all alarming, and up to this time there has been no serious thought of another bond issue. FOR A ClltHENCY COMMISSIOX. Plan Advocated by New York Financier. Two prominent financiers, Sub-Treasurer Jordan of New York and ex-Comptroller of Currency W. L. Trenhoim, who are the authors of the bill introduced by Representative Coombs for the creation of a currency commission, spoke in support of that plan to the house committee cn banking and currency today. Their p?an is for a non-partisan commission of lifteen members representing different Fcetiors and not more than seven of them bankers, who shall sit in different cities to investigate the currency system and financial conditions and report at the close of this year their findings regarding coinage and currency. The committee elected five members to prepare a currency and banking measure to be reported June 23, viz: Messrs. Cox, Cobb and Culberson, democrats; Henderson and Haugh, republicans. The Armor Plate Frnnd. Informer Sill continued his story of armor-plate frauds before the congressional committee today. It was mainly a detailed and technical elaboration of the frauds which he had explained In a general way yesterday. He took sheet by sheet of the fake reports made to government officers and pointed out how Superintendent Kline had changed the figures so as to make them meet governmtnt requirements. The tedious process

of identifying each false entry proceeded through the morning and part of the afternoon. Dullness In the House. The dullness of today's proceedings In the house was In marked contrast to the excitement of yesterday's session. An event somewhat out of the ordinary was a personal explanation by Mr. Richardson in reply to allegations made) In a Washington newspaper that he had been t:sng his position as a member of the committee cn the District of Columbia to further the interest of an overhead trolley syndicate to whom he (Richardson) had sold real estate indirectly. He denied the ch.irge in toto. The Indian appropriation bill was again considered and a rule adopted to bring it to a vote tomorrow. The section of the bill providing for the sale of certain state bonds credited to the Indian trust fund3 was struck out on a point of order after a sharp debate. At 5 o'clock a recess was taken till 8, the evening session to be devoted to private pension bills. Civil Service Demand. The postoffice department is sending to all postal employes copies of an executive order issued by President Cleveland in 1SS6, warning all officeholders against the use of their official positions in attempts to control local political movements.

The postmaster must, therefore, be patient, courteous and helpful In transacting his business, compel his clerks to similar conduct or dismiss them and so govern himself and them that every proper visitor may leave gratified by good treatment." The Coxey Mill. The Coxey bill for good roads and nonInterest bearing bonds, which Senator reffer introduced in the Senate, has been introduced in the house by Representative Geary of California. It was done by request and dces not signify Üiat Mr. Geary entertains the Coxey theories.

SEVEX PAGES DISPOSED OF. The Senate at Last Through with the Woolen Schedule. WASHINGTON. June 16. The fight over the woolen schedule ended today, and that schedule, as well as the following schedule, "silk and silk goods," was disposed of in quick time. The republicans had been fighting for certain modifications of the woolen schedule and were partially successful. They succeeded in having the rates on woolen and worsted yarns valued at over 40 cents per pound increased from 35 to 40 per cent, ad valorem and the dividing line on women's and children's dress goods decreased from ?1 to 50 cents, a duty of 40 per cent, being imposed on goods valued at less than 50 cents per pound and 50 per cent, where of greater value. This latter modification Is the one, it is understood, that Mr. Quay was fighting for. As soon as It was decided upon Mr. Quay's long speech suddenly terminated. The other modifications of the schedule were such as had been proposed by the finance committee or by the Jones compromise amendments. Messrs. Berry of Arkansas and Coke of Texas, democrats: Mr. Tejler of Colorado, republican, and two populists voted against the new classification of women's and children's dress goods. Mr. AldrLch and other New England republicans protested that these rates In the woolen schedule were entirely inadequate and gave notice of their intention to continue the struggle for higher rates when the bill was reported to the senate. Altogether twenty-four paragraphs (seven pages) of the bill were disposed of today. The next schedule is "pulp, papers and books." Schedule O Silks and silk goods was taken up with the understanding that paragraph 2&S, relating to silk partially manufactured from cocoons, waste silk, thrown silk not advanced more than singles and silk thread and yarns, and paragraph 299, relating to velvet plush, be passed over till Monday. The rates on webbing3. gorgings, beltings, fringes, etc., made wholly or in part of silk, was fixed at 50 per cent.; on laces and embroideries, handkerchiefs, ruchings, veils, ready-made clothing and other articles of wearing apparel composed in whole or in part of silk, 50 per cent., and other manufactures of silk not specially provided for, 45 per cent. This completed the silk schedule, and then, at 4:50, the senate, on motion of Mr. Harris, went Into executive session, and at 5 o'clock adjourned until Monday at 10 o'clock. INDIAN BILL PASSED After the Incorporation of Several Amendments. The Indian appropriation bill was passed by the house today, substantially as it was reported from the committee. A determined effort was made to kill the bill by a motion to recommit, with instructions to strike out the provision for contract schools, and to provide for the erection of government Indian schools, but it was unsuccessful. The early part of ihe day was marked by a sharp discussion between the speaker and Mr. Reed and Mr. Iticnardson on the question of approving the journal, hinging on Mr. Reed's desire to have the proceedings following Mr. Richardson's personal explanation of yesterday entered in the journal. The Journal was approved as reported to the house. The house got into a parliamentary wrangle over the approval of the record, the first thing the question hinging on whether or not Mr. Richardson had obtained unanimous consent yesterday for his personal explanation and whether or not he had risen to a question to allow the Journal to stand unchanged. The Indian appropriation bill was then taken up and the reading was concluded. A point of order made by Mr. Strauss against the provision for the removal of the Indian warehouse from New York to Chicatro was sustained. A number of amendments heretofore made, but of which points of order had been reserved, were taken up and considered and in nearly all cases the points of order were sustained. An amendment offered by Mr. Holman was agreed to providing that the Pueblo and Jacarilla agencies in New Mexico should be abolished and consolidated with the southern Ute agency in Colorado. An amendment was offered by Mr. CofTeen of Wyoming providing for the appointment of a commission to neROtiate with the Shoshone and Arapahoe Indians for the sale of certain of their lands. Agreed to. The Indian school at Mt. Pleasant, Mich., 130 pupils at 5150 a year, was provided for Instead of 100 pupils at S1G7. The hour of 3:30 o'clock having arrived the bill was reported to the house and the previous question ordered. The only amendment on which a separate vote was demanded was the one offered by Mr. Lynch of Wisconsin, a member of the committee on Indian affairs and on which Mr. Sickles gave notice that he will demand a separate vote. The vote of the house sustained the vote of the committee and the amendment was agreed to. The bill was pawed-156 to 33, and at 4:40 p. m. the house adjourned.

ABATTOIR IK ASHES

The Extensive Structure at Jersey City Burns, Entailing a Loss of Nearly a Million. RAPID WORK OF FLAMES. Five Thousand Head of Sheep Are Cremated. The Building; Reduced to Cinders in Two Hours. Hard Work to Save the Great Erie Elevator One of the Employes of the Bnildlner Missing: and He Is Thought to Have Perished Others May Have Lost Their Lives Fires Elsewhere. JERSEY CITY. N. J.. June 16. Tha old, but extensive, abattoir of the Central stock transit company in Harsimus cove, just south of Pavonia-ave., and the Erie grain elevator was totally destroyed by fire this evening, the total loss reaching almost 51.000,000. Built on piles, the structure of two stories was entirely of wood, but the ma ehineo' for the various utilitarian purposes of the company was costly and extensive, while the amount of stock, including dressed beef, mutton and upward of five thousand live sheep and lambs went to swell the loss, which E. L. Lambert, a prominent official of the company, insisted might reach 51.300.000. No one appears to know the cause of the fire, but Saturday is a half-holiday, and one of the few men at work may possibly have broken the rigid rules of the company and smoked, the match, or the light of his cigar, causing the conflagration. The fire, which broke out in the alley adjoining the fat-room, and about one hundred feet from the outer end of the building, was first seen by the head watchman, James McCarthy. He did not wait an instant, but turned in every alarm at his command, and had to run to make his escape, losing his clothing, which he had hung in the office when he went off duty. He believes that of the twelve or fourteen men then at work In the building all escaped, but when the Associated Press reporter left the ground William Martin, the cook in the restaurant, was missing. He had gone back for something, and it is reported that he never returned. The building was erected In 1S74, over the water of Old Harsimus cove, with a frontage of 300 feet on the river and extending back for about six hundred feet. The spread of the flames was so rapid that in fifteen minutes the whole space, 600 by SuO feet, was a mass of flames, which caught the cattle boat Burlington and a barge before they could be loosened from the dock; also the coal barge Maggie Hoffman, belonging to the BerwindWhite company. The three fire tugs ot the Erie railroad and! ten belonging to the Pennsylvania railroad, together with the private tug R. C. Raymond and tha New York police boat, responded quickly to the calls and did their best to keep tha fire within the limits of the abattoir itself, but the coal trestle of the Pennsylvania railroad company on the pier to th south was damaged to the extent of S5.003 and a number of cars loaded with twenty nine tons of coal each were destroyed. The crafts on fire were towed Into tha river and cast loose. The Burlington was totally destroyed, but the barges wer only damaged to the extent of a few hun dred dollars each. Fears were entertained for the safety of the great Erie elevator, but fortunately the wind blew in the other direction. The pumps, however, kept a perfect cascade of water pouring down its roof and Fides until all danger was passed. The river front on the New York side was lined with thousands of spectators attracted by the brilliant spectacle. Within two hours from the outbreak there was nothing left but a glowing pile of cinders, which covered about four acres of ground. The losses aggregate 500,000, of which 5G00.000 is on building and machinery. The Centrai stock and transit company is partly owned by many of those doing business in the plant, but the majority of the shares are held by the Pennsylvania railroad company. Senator J. R. McPherson, D. II. Sherman and Simon H. Smith. The executive officers are D. H. Sherman, E. L. Lambert and S. H. Smith, the latter being superintendent. Over 700 snn are now thrown out of employment by the fire. No data could be given as to insurance, but it is said to be about cne-third of the loss. WAS FOULLY MURDERED. The Body of n.
