FIFTY-THIRD CONGRESS.

The Senate met at 11 •30, Tuesday, and Mr. Harris at once moved to proceed with tho consideration of the tariff bill. Mr. Hoar spoke in opposition, and said that Democratic Senators who would support the compromise caucus bill as submitted to the Senate would violate this Constitution and their oaths. This statement brought Mr. Gray to iiis feet. He demanded to know what tho Massachusetts Senator meant by such a charge—a charge, he said, which was unworthy of Mr. Hoar. Mr. Hoar waved tho Delaware Senator aside, lie would refuse Ur yield to him, he said. But Mr. Gray refused to bo put off. His cheek was flaming; ho insisted upon an explanation. “Very well,” said Mr. Hoar. “I cannot be intimidated by a little bluster. But I will explain. I meant to say that for a Democratic Senator who subscribed to the doctrine of the Ghieago platform that a tariff for protection was robbery; who went to the people affirming his allegiance to that platform, and who now comes here seeking and obtaining protective duties—l mean to say that for such Senator there is no escape from tho logic that ho violates both his Senatorial oath and tiny Mr. Palmer said Democrats were compelled to take what they could get —not what they wanted. The debate was cohtiriued by Senators Morrill and Quay and at 4:45 the Senate wont into executive session. In tbo Senate, Wednesday, Mr. Alien spoko on ills resolution to investigate the Coxoy affair. Mr. Daniel denied the propriety of bringing thomattor into tho Senate, stating that Coxey had #remedy in court. Mr. Sherman also opposed tho resolution. A running discussion of the tariff bill followed, culminating Ina vigorous speech Jjy Mr. Mills, who disowned the report of the committee, stating that tho Senate tariff bill as it now stands, Is undemocratic, bearing no resemblanco to the Wilson bill. It ought, he said, to boar tho name of Mr. Gorman or Mr. Brice. No man could torture him into an admission that this bill was a response to Democratic pledges. He had said that taxation should be levied upon value; that it was tho only just system; that taxation shouldn’t bo Imposed as under the specific system of tho McKinley bill so that the goods of the rich would escape with the same tax as was levied upon the cheaper articles of the poor. There ho hail stood and there he would continue to stand. He rose to say that ho did not Intend to voto for a single one of the amendments carrying a change In specific duties. It was continued throughout the bill, until it was now a question between the McKinley bill and a Democratic system of protection, with very little margin In favor of the Democratic measure. The Democratic party in 1892 had declared protection a fraud; had declared for a tariff for revenue only. Ho would have reduced tho duties below the point set In 1,111) Wilson bill if he had bad the power, lie would have given still more raw inatnrlais to relievo those who were coming in Washington to tell of their distress [produced by protection. Ho would vote ‘Tortile Kon’nte bill, but he did not Intend D«)lp make it as bad as it could possibly Mr. Gorman was present but made no reply to Mr. Mills’s charges. Tho pending amendment was agreed to. Mr. Stodge offered his amendment to impost) Rouble duties In the bill against Great Britain until that country she ild agree

to an international ratio for the coinage; of silver. The amendment was laid on the table--31 to 20, a strict party vote. In the House, Wednesday, Mr. Pendleton replied to the charge that the Presl- 1 dent was influenced by the publication of Andrew Carnegie’s letter favoring tariff reform to reduce the, judgment of the Secretary of tho Navy from 1284,000 on account of armor frauds. * Such a charge, he , said, was absurd. Whatever arrows of slander and detraction had been hurled at Grover Cleveland, and heaven knows no man in public life had ever been subjected to such calumnies and attacks, everyone knew he was not a man of such dishonest action. After some discussion the committee rose and tho House, at 4:30 adjourned. Hoar addressed tho Senate, Thursday, on the perils of Coxeyism. He which he was convicted was on the statute books. He came here with tho deliberate intention of violating it. He wanted to test the power of Congress and the court, and when he found both court and jury against him set up a howl. “There is danger,” said Mr. Hoar, “in such assemblages. They afford cover for one or two fanatics. It does not do to scoff. Within ten years an attempt has been made to blow up the house of Parliament; within two years another attempt to blow up tho French Assembly. Two Presidents of" the United States have been murdered; one in a crowd at a depot, the other in a crowd at a theater, by misguided and fanatieal persons to whom the peaceable assemblages afforded an opportunity to escape. This is why, In the provisions of the riot law of every State, when the magistrate reads the act, all the people must go home. A man may be there with peaceable intentions, but If when the riot act Is road he refuses to go he is liable to punishment. Those who are peaceable shield those who are not. It is needless for me,” said Mr. Hoar, drawing himself up and looking about the chamber, his eyes pausing when they reached Mr. Allen and Mr. Stewart, “to declare that I sympathize will all my fellows in distress. I sympathize with them a great deal more than some of those who always prate of sympathy for the downtrodden in order to advance their disgraceful political ambitions.” The tariff debate was then resumed. Senator Chandler spoke sarcastically of Mr. Voorhees and Daniel intimated, that tho New Hampshireman | was a falsifier. More amendments wero I offered. At 5:15 the Senate adjourned as , a mark of respect to representative BratI tan, whose death was announced. Tho somber emblems of mourning cov- ! erod the desk of Representative Robert | E. Brattan. of Maryland, on which lay a I bunch of roses, when the House met, j Thursday, The message of the President I transmitting Hawaiian correspondence, received Thursday, was laid before the | HonSo, Some routine business was transacted, and then Mr. Talbott briefly announced the death of Mr. Brattan and offered the customary resolutions. The resolutions were adopted and the Speaker appointed a o.ommftteo to attend the funeral. The House then, at 12:30 p. m., adjourned. In the Senate. Friday, Mr. Chandler, In speaking on tho pending amendment to the tariff bill, said it was unwise to go ahead with the consideration of the measure until the Senate was informed on what principle the bill was framed. It had been changed, torn and patched with protective tariff, free trade and revenue tariff duties until it was neither fish, flesh, fowl nor good red herring. Ho thought it was time the Democrats of the Senate should go out and gather around a boxax pit in the Humboldt valley and sing that good old hymn: “Are wo wretches yet alive, And dare we yet rebel? ’Tis wondrous, ’tis amazing grace That keeps us out of hell.” Mr, Chandler succeeded in irritating the Democrats, especially Mr. Harris, who, at the conclusion of the remarks of tho New Hampshire Senator, moved, with some temper, to lay the pending amendment (that of Mr. Perkins, to make the duty on boraclc acid 5 cents per pound) on the table. The motion was carried by a strict party vote—3l to 25. Various amendments were considered until 5:55, when the Senate went into executive session. In the House. Friday, the body went into committeo of tho whole and tho naval appropriation bill was taken up. Mr. Boutello advocated liberality toward the navy to continue a good work commenced under Secretary Chandler. Mr. Baker, who followed Mr. Boutelle, spoke briefly on tho bill from the Populist point of view. An altercation between Mr. Cummings and Mr. Reed ensued. Mr. Reed said he always had the largest majorities when tho navy yards of his district wore in possession of the Democrats The debate continued some time, taking on a very acrimonious character and chargos and counter charges of “colonlzatlo n” In tho navy yards were freely passed between Mr. Reed, Mr. Boutelle and Mr. Cummings. At 5 o'clock, this being Friday, the House took a recess till 3, the evening session to be devoted to private bills. At tho night session six private pension bills wore favorably acted upon, and at 10:27 the Honso adjourned.

THEY ARE SEVER.

Bandits Bab a Bank and Escape. At 3 o’clock Thursday afternoon seven men armed with Winchesters and revolvers rode into Southwest City, Mo., and robbed the bank, getting all the money the bank contained, between $3,000 and $4,000. They evidently came from the territory and were experts. They did the job in a very business like manner. Two of them were stationed on the sidewalk, three entered the bank with a sack and two others guarded the horses. About one hundred shots were fired by the robbers and four citizens were wounded, The robbers were about ten minutes in going through the bank. Afterward they mounted their horses and started for the nation at a full gallop. As they were leaving the outskirts someone fired several shots at them, killing a horse and wounding a robber. He immediately secured another horse from a farmer who was passing and followed his pais. No resistance was offered by tho citizens. The wounded men were shot while standing on the sidewalk. A posse was made up and started in pursuit, but the robbers have a good lead and will probably get away.

WOEFUL WEALERS.

“Jordan Am a Hard Road to TrabbeL” Trials and T itralatlona Of tho Various 1)1 visions of the Commonweal Army. The Kelly army fleet got under way, A¥ednesdayy and at noon bid good-bye to Des Moines from the packing house, two miles south of the city, the boats halting altogether during the good-bye cheers. Most of the boats in the fleet were rigged With oars or sailing gear, and sails were improvised from army blankets. The men were In good spirits, and seemed glad to begin their cruise. Because of the numerous sandbars the men were frequently compelled to wade and tnish the boats. The men have ample provisions for several days and the towns along tho route will contribute liberally. Kelly’s boats were soon strung along the river five miles and made slow progress. One boat with ten army men and a number of Des Moines women and children capsized, and all narrowly escaped drowning. Fully two thousand people straggled along the banks watching the flotilla. Women and children from the city were in nearly every boat at the start, taking a short pleasure ride. Sanders’ division of the Commonweal, in possession of a stolen train, continued to defy pursuit on Thursday. The railroad company continued toplaca otbstacies on tho track. But they came to grief, Thursday night, as tho following bulletin from Salina, dated 10:30 o. m., shows: “The war is over. The Intrepid Colorado contingent of the Commonweal which ha 3 kept Colorado and Kansas in an uproar for two days, has surrendered unconditionally to Marshal Nefely. They were 450 strong, and every man was put under arrest. The surrender wa3 male peaceably, and the entire army is being taken to Topeka for trial. The special train is now with the captured army, and is making rapid time on its return trip.” Frey’s alleged industrial army marched out of Indianapolis, Monday morning, having been warned by tho police that their “welcome was worn out,” The “Gen,” was in a defiant mood and boasted that he had made S3OJ clear cash out of the town in spite of tho abuse heaped upon him by the locai press. Gen, Coxey appeared on the witness stand at the Washington police courf. Monday, in his own behalf. A number oT prominent Congressmen also appeared as witnesses—among them Representative Bland, of Missouri. Sweetland’s Connecticut division reached New York, Tuesday, fifty-nine strong. Randall's raid reached the suburbs of Laporte, Tuesday. Chief of Police Purcell and an armed squad of twenty-five policemen met the army and forbade Randall to enter the city. Randall and his officers became abusive and declared they would anter the town at all risks. And were accordingly arrested and placed in jail. Seeing that their leaders were gone the army decidedto go round the city,and proceeded to camp in Morrison’s woods, three miles out of the city.where they proceeded under command of Captain Leonard, of Company A, and Dr. Frank Shaeffer, the army physician. The city authorities furnished a day’s rations for the army. The Sullivan wing of the army, which mutinied at Valparaiso, passe&.around the city in advance of the main iifepay and created no trouble. They are now in St. Joseph county. Mayor Scott declared Laporte quarantined against the army on account of the rumored presence of small-pox or exposure thereto among the soldiers, and in arresting the leaders acted upon the authority of the State law governing such cases. Aubrey’s division arrived at Muncie, Tuesday mominy, from Yorktown. The men were nearly starved. A window glass broker gave Aubrey $75 to help buy provisions. A part of Fry’s industrials who left Indianapolis, Monday, drifted to Franklin, Tuesday evening, via Greenfield. About seventy-five men were in the gang under command of “Gen.” Jennings. Quite a demonstration was indulged In by the college boys on their account. A meeting was held to whiclf 10 cents admission was charged. Speeches woro made by Lon Bannard and others. The Commissioners of the District of Columbia, Wednesday, decided that Coxey was maintaining a nuisance by keeping his men in their present camp and gave him forty-efght hours to abate the same. A dispatch irom Yakima, Wash., says a battle occurred between deputies and Coromonwea’.er3 in which two of tho deputies were shot, one fatally. Twenty-three members of Galvin’s commonweal army were arrested at Bisscll, eighteen miles from Pittsburg, for attempting to capture a Baltimore <s; Ohio freight train. They were held on a charge of trespass, preferred by the officials of the railway company. Colonel Galvin says the men wero deserters and will be court-martialed. Gen. Randall and staff were brought Into court at Laporte. Wednesday, and arraigned on a charge of conspiracy to commit larceny. They plead not guilty. Ball was fixed at SSOO. A bond was prepared for Randall and ho was released. The .others were returned to jail. Later Randall signed an agreement that he would Immediately remove his army if be and his staff were dismissed. Judge Noyes agreed to this and all the accused wero discharged. Instead of moving on, Randall, on advice of his attorneys. Immediately issued hand-bills announcing that Ijhe General would deliver a lecture at the Opera House on the subject, “Has an American citizen the right to traverse the public highways without molestation?’’ There was much indignation at the violation of Randall’s agreement, Randall and his a'torney argue that there was iio case against them, and the former says that he will sue the city and county lor $100,0U) damages for false imprisonment. At Yakima. Wash., In a fight between deputy marshals and Coxeyites in possession of a stolen train, two officers and three wealors were shot aid severely injured. Sixty Coxeyites were arrested, One hundred arc still at Yakima, and claim they U 111 go cast on tho first freight train. » J Sandor’s Cripple Creek Industrials scdlze (i train at Pueblo, Tuesday night and tarted east. The railway company ditched one engine and box car to stop their progress, but the men succeeded in gle&rlng np the wreck and procedod on ithclr way. They encountered another obstruction near Arlington, where four engines a ero ditched by order of Super-

intendent Derby. The Industrie* prompt* ly began laying tracks around the Obstruction. Sheriff Moees endeavored to raise a posse to captors Sanders and Us army but could not secure more than forty men. At Ordway the wafer In the stolen engine gave out and the Industrials were obliged to obtain a supply from a well, carrying it in their dinner pails and coffee cups. Fry’s army was at BheibvvlHe, Thnrsday, and for some hoars it looked as if there would be a collision with the people and some one wonld be killed. The people would furnish the army no rations for breakfast. Camp was broken and the wagons and Fry with his staff started toward town. The army, greatly reduced in number by scant fare, under command of Col. Brownell, marched up into the open public sonre where Brownell spoke ' about the ingratitude and inhumanity of Shelbyville citizens, after which he disbanded them and told every man to hustle for himself for-food. His remarks were very bitter towards the citizens and they were getting together for the purpose of resenting it when Brownell changed the character of his talk and agreed to leave town with the twenty-six who remained with him. They moved out of town at 9:30 o’clock with flags and banners flying and the music of fifes and drams. Camp was made at St. Paul, Thursday night. Another collision occurred at Yakima, Wash., Friday, between deputy marshals and the commonwealers. Two industrials were shot. At Rocklin, Cal., Friday, "Col.” Paisley, an officer of a commonweal division, was killed by Constable Fleckinger. The Industrials became furious and tried to lynch tho constable, but he succeeded in escaping. Fleckinger was trying to arrest tho officers of this divisioii, now 700 strong, who were in possession of a stolen train.

M’KINLEYS LYNCHED.

No Reflection on Ohio’* Favorite Son, How- ' ever. A dispatch from Sharon Springs, Kan., May 9, says: One of the most determined mobs that ever congregated in this portion of the State lynched William McKinley and his son Lewis, for the murder Of Charles Carley, committed one week ago. About a week ago, Charles Carley, a son-in-law of Wm. McKinley, was murdered. An investigation revealed the fact that Fred, a seventeen-year-old son of McKinley. senior, had committed the crime. The boy, when arrested, made a confession, stating that he had been Induced to kill his brother-in-law by his father and his older brother, Lewis. On Monday the three were arraigned in court where Fred pleaded guilty, as charged, but his father and Lewis pleaded not guilty, waived trial and were placed In the county jail. Late Monday night a mob of several hundred took the father and son to a bridge about a mile west of town and lynched them. They both begged piteously for mercy. Fred would probably have been hanged with the others, but Instead of being taken to the jail be was kept under guard in the hotel. Carley was murdered because ho refused to pay S2OO to his wife’s father, as he had S remised, for the privilege of; marryirfg er. He was killed while astbep by the boy with a common garden boe. Carley was found dead and horribly mutilated.

GREAT LOSS OF LIFE.

Probably 10,000 People Killed by an Earthquake. Several Cities and Villages In Venezuela Destroyed on the 28th of last Month—Details Still Meager. The New York Herald’s Caracas dispatch says a terrible earthquake took place in Venezuela on April 28. Reports which have been received here from ths districts affected tell of terrible loss of life and destruction of towns and villages. The cities of Merida, LaQuinillas.Chiguara and San Juan, situated in the northwest of the Republic, in the region of the Andes, are reported as having been totally destroyed by a fierce shock at 11 o’clock on the night of the 28th. Many villages arc said to be wrecked, but the details are not yet at hand. The convulsion extended to parts of the adjacent republic of Colombia. The full details of the catastrophe will be learned slowly, but it is probable that ten thousand people have perished, and It is certain that the greatest suffering prevails in the places visited by the earthquake. The United States minister hem has notified the State Department at Washington of the terrible effect of ths catastrophe, and has asked that assistance be given to the people of the stricken districts.

ELEPHANTINE EXECUTION.

The Savage Elephant “Tip” Killed With Poison. The Asiatic elephant “Tip,” presented to Central Park, New York, by Adair Gorepaugh in 1889, was poisoned by order of the authorities, Friday, with cyanide oi potassium.
