WILLIAM WALTER PHELPS,

Ex-Minister to Germany, died at his home at Tea Neck, N. J., Sunday morning at 2 o’clock. Mr. Phelps was a scion of one of the oldest New England- families, and frequently spoke-of his direct descent, on the paternal side, from William Phelps, brother of the private secretary of Oliver Cromwell. His father, John J. Phelps, was a prominent mere I’ant 1 ’ant in—-New-York city, and was the first president of the Delaware, Lackawanna & Western railroad. William Walter Phelps was born in New York city August 24, =1839? At the time of his death Mr. Phelps was Judge of the Court of Errors and Appeals of New Jersey. Mr. Phelps was very wealthy and was also noted for his generosity to his friends.

EX-REPRESENTATIVE BAYNE,

Of Pittsburg, shot himself with suicidal intent at his residence in Washington, Saturday, and soon afterdied. Col. Bayne was for many years an intimate friend of the lato James G. Blaine, but owing to personal differences they became estranged long before the death of the “Plumed Knight,” Ex-Speaker Reed was one of Mr. Bayne's most intimate friends and was much affected by his death. Mr. Bayne’s only known reason for suicide was that ho feared consumption, having recently suffered from hemorrhages. Senator Sherman was Warmly congratulated on the floor of the Senate, Saturday, by many of his associates on the fact that on that day he had com pletod a term of> service in the Senate equal in length to that of Senator Benton. The service of Senator Benton had heretofore held first rank in duration, covering the period from Dee. 6, 1821, to March 3, 1851, making twenty-nine years two months and twenty-seven days. Cel. A L. Conger, of Ohio, a prominent Republican, in an interview at New York, Tuesday, said the McKinley bill should be modified in accordance with the changed conditions of business. He stated that the people of Ohio delighted to honor McKinley but were not in favor of his nomination for the Presidency, because of his extreme high protective ideas. Mr. Conger thought the bill now before the Senate, with the Senate amendments, would be regarded by the people out his way as more satisfactory than the McKinley law, because it would reduce tariff rates instead of increasing them. Another reason he gave for the difficulty which Governor McKinley would find in obtaining the support of the Ohio delegation in the next Republican National convention was that in the distribution of patronage in Ohio much dissatisfaction had been created, and the opposition to him as a Presidential candidate had been increased.

J. FRANK HANLY,

Republican congressional nominee in the Ninth Indiana district. Mr. Ilanly is but thirty-one years old, and is the youngest man nominated for congress in this State since 1854, when Hon, Will Cumback was elected to the House at the age of twentyfive. Mr. Hanly came to Marion county in 1879 from Illinois, walking the entire distance. He is emphatically a self-made man and has attained his present enviable prominence through his untiring energy in overcoming almost insurmountable obstacles. The New York Times. Wednesday, created a great sensation by directly charging Senator Aldrich with being a tool of the sugar trust. Senator Aldrich is a Republican, and has been regarded as a leader of the minority in fighting the tariff bill. The Times shows that Secretary Searles of the sugar trust came to the rescue of Senator Aldrich when he was about to fail in his reorganization scheme of the Providence street railroads and that tho trust people advanced him *1,509,000 to carry out the scheme andfloat tho watered stock. This assistance was rendered by the trust. The Times says this was done because Aldrich had taken care of the sugar trust in the McKinley bill by giving the refiners cent protection. Hong-Kong advices under date of May 24, received at San Francisco, June H), state that the great plague is still raging. The death rate at Canton, where the disease first became epidemic; is stated to average more than 200 a day.

FIFTY-THIRD CONGRESS.

In the Senate, Tuesday, Mr. Voorhees reported a resolution authorizing the publleationof the proceedings of the recent Berlin conference. The resolution was adopted. The resolution by Mr. 'Alien.requesting the Secretary of the Treasury to inform t'he'Senate as to the total "number of persons employed in protected Thdustries, whose wages are likely to be affected by tariff legislation, came up and en ebu n tered Re p üblic an o p pos! 11 on. Mr. Allen said that he was not surprised that Republicans opposed it, as the intention of the resolution was to expose the falsity of the Republican claim that wages were to be ruinously affected by tariff reform. The resolution went over and the tariff bill came up on the regular order. An amendment by Mr. Lodge to restore the McKinley ratoon mattings was lost and the rate of duty was fixed at 20 per cent. At the, request of Mr. Allison, the finance committee agreed to strike out from paragraph 190 the reciprocity provision admitting buckwheat, corn, corn meal, oats, rye, rye flour, wheat and wheat flour free of duty from such countries as imposed no. import duty on such products exported from the United States. The finance committee also agreed to Mr- AP isonlsi request to place eggs on the. dutiable .list at 3 cents per dozen. The free list was then taken up. Amberoid was added to the free list. Ammonia was added to the freelist. Salts of ammonia, made dutiable in the Senate bill,were stricken fromthm free list. The finance committee amendment permitting the free entry of cattle,sheep or other domestic animals and their increase which have strayed across the boundary or been driven across for pasturage was agreed to. Mr. Jones explained that the provision was intended only to apply to Mexican borders, where If was sometimes impossible to prevent animals from straying across the border, and where it was sometimes absolutely necessary in time of drought to drive stock across the Rio Grande for pasturage. The committees amendment striking from the free list beef, mutton and pork which have been placed on the dutiable list at 20 per cent., was agreed to. Mr. Peffer moved to also strike out “bacon and hams.” The effect of the amendment would be to make bacon and hams dutiable at 20 per cent. The amendment was agreed to without objection. The Jones amendment, adding manilia twine to the paragraph placing twine on the free list was agreed tqy—Mr. Peffer offered an amendrpent to strike salt from the free list and make it dutiable at' 5 cents per 100 pounds. At this point the Senate, at 5:20 went into executive session and a few moments later adjourned. Mr. Peffer addressed the Senate at the opening of Wednesday’s session in support of his postal savings resolution. Mr. Manderson spoke against all such paternalistic schemes. No action was taken. Resolution by Mr, Cullom instructing Pension Commissioner to report to the Senate what portion of the annual aporopriation will remai.i unexpended, June 30, 1894, was unanimously agreed to. Mr. Sherman presented a joint resolution passed by the .Ohio Legislature, relating to the celebration of the 100th anniversary of the victory of Gen. Anthony Wayne at Fallen Timber. Aug. 7,1794, which marked the conquest of the Indian Nation. It was appropriately referred. After some bills of local Interest had been passed the tariff bill was laid before the Senate. The consideration of the freelist was resumed, the pending question being Mr. Peffer’s amendment to strike salt from the free list and place it on the dutiable list at 5 cents per 10) pounds. The present duty bn salt is 3 cents. Mr. Peffer explained that personally he favored free salt, but that his constituents interested in salt manufactures believed that they would be injuriously affected by placing salt on the free lift. At 12 o’clock Mr. Aldrich demanded a separate vote on the committee’s amendment striking sugar from the free list. The amendment was adopted--32 to 22- Messrs. Quay, Irby, Allen and Kyle voted yea and Mr. Peffer voted no. Senator Allen moved to put all lumber on the free list. Senator Chandler charged that the Senator had made a bargain with the Democratic side to obtain it. Mr. Allen retorted that his vote and action was none of Mr. Chandler’s business. Mr. Chandler said he proposed to make it his business. Mr. Allen subsequently obtained the floor and replied that he (Allen) was not to be deterred from his purpose by a Senator who put himself in the attitude of a baboon on every possible occasion. The amendment was-lost —yeas 24, nays 33. The finance committee’s amendment restricting the free entry of raw silk to such as is noi manufactured in any way was agreed tjo, W.hen paragraph 641, “sugars,” was reached it was expected that some debate would occur, but none took place. Mr. Aldrich merely demanded the yea and nay vote on the finance committee's amendm -nt to strike this paragraph from the free list, where it was placed by the House, The committee’s amendment was carried by a vote of 33 to 22, the (Republicans, except Mr. Quay, voting solidly against it and the Democrats for it. Mr. Peffer voted with the Republicans and Messrs. Kyle and Allen, Populists, with the Democrats. Mr. Peffer gave notice of his intention to offer an amendment to graduate the income tax so as to make incomes in excess of *I,CO) and below *IO,OOO subject to a tax of 1 per cent., between *10.090 and *25,009 2 per cent.; between *25,000 and 50,000 3 per cent.; between *50.000 and *109,000 4 per cent.; above *160,000 5 per cent. Senator Vest Introduced a number of amendents to the income tax, one of which exempts building and loan associations from the provisions of the bill. An exemption is also made in the case of such savings banks, saving institutions or societies as have no stockholders or members except depositors and no capital except deposits; those that shall not receive deposits to an aggregate amount in any one_ year of more than *I.OOO from the deposi tor; those that shall not allow an accumulation or total of deposits by any one depositor exceeding *10.000; those that shall actually divide and distribute to their depositors, rateably to the earnings over the necessary and proper expenses of such bank. Institution or society except such as shall be applied to surplus; and also those that shall not possess in any form a surplus fund exceeding 10 per cent, of the aggregate deposits. i The Senate, Thursday, began the consideration of the income tax provision of the tariff bill. Mr. Hill spoke in opposl- ' tfon as follows: It would have been good politics to have

avoided this unnecessary issue. Prudence dictated that this Congress shonld not attempt to formulate new Democratic doc- . trines to which we have been committed. Rptfier it should carry out the pledges that we have already made. Perhaps 1 over estimate the importance of party platforms and appreciate too keenly the binding obligations of party pledges. 1 believe that it is the solemn duty of a political party to redeem the promises upon which it obtained power, and thatrepudiation there will sooner or later bring disastereuuon it at the hands of a betrayed and indighanvpeople,. For one, I protest a; amsllhe repudiation, of the promise; of the Democratic party in order to adopt and carry but the promises of the Populist party. I am tempted to suggest that the Democrats of Oregon sought to test the popularity of an income tax among the business men and electors of that State by inserting in their platform a clause favoring that tax; and. awakening to their senses, after the election, they discovered that their ticket was third in the race, that their party was demoralized and that they had divided themselves instead of dividing their opponents. The most disastrous defeat ever experienced by the Democratic party in Oregon was the result of th; effort to substitute new-fangled Populistic principles for the good old principle; of true Democracy. Here and now I venture the prediction that the same result will follow the same effort everywhere. Continuing, Mr. Hill said that an Income tax was a war tax; that it was unnecessary; that it will drive New York, New Jersey and Connecticut into the Republican column; that while it pretended to assail the rich it injured the poor to a greater degree, Mr. Higgins followed Mr. Hill. Mr, Chandler rose to resent the attack of Mr. Allen on Wednesday. He said that Senator Allen was incapable of understanding the courtesy which should characterize a debate in the Senate. Mr. Allen in answering Chandler became very pale and charged the Senator with uttering false charges knowing them to be false. “I do not know,” said Mr. Allen, “whether my language is parliamentary. I am not skilled in parliamentary procedure. But I do know his is untrue and ungentlemanly. I think he made the insinuation deliberately, knowing it was false. He had tried to place me in the position of a trafficker of votes. The insinuation or stigma that I have trafficked with my vote, that I have agreed to vote for this measure in consideration of concessions made of to be made, is untrue. If I were where I could make it plainer,” ho a ided, looking Mr. Chandler in the eye, “I would make it plainer. I made a motion a few- weeks ago to strike lumber from the dutiable list, as I had a right to do. I have a right to get what I can for my people. I am not bound to the Democratic or the Republican party,.butam an humble representative of a new party. As such I am more or less a skirmisher betweeiMhe old party lines. I repel the low, dirty insinuationof the senior Senator from New Hampshire.” he said, in conclusion, raising his voice until it rang throughout the chamber,“and I reiterate and affirm, with all the energy I possess, what I said yesterday.” Senator Chandler reiterated his charges of a “bargain and sale” of votes, and said that the Senator from Nebraska was to be pitied rather than Censured for what he could not help. Mr. Peffer spoke in favor of his graduated income tax amendment, and also said he favored a graduated land tax, and said he would give the Democratic side five years to report such a bill. Mr. Hill congratulated the Democratic party on its new leader, and again started out in opposition to the income tax, stating that even if it became a law it would be held unconstitutional because it was a direct tax. Peffer’s graduated income tax amendment was then voted down, and the Senate adjourned, ' -

THE STURGES-FARWELL CASE.

Judge Tuly, at Chicago, .Thursday, in the Sturges-Farwell suit, found for the the plaintiffs. Mrs. Sturges is given *75,000, William Sturges is given credit ol *111,490 on a note for *140,000. J. V. Farwell was given a judgment for *28,50*J against William Sturges on another count. In the Marquette contract, where *IB.OOO was deposited, the court gives J. F. Farwell 510,000 and the balance of 58,000 to Mrs. Sturges. The 575,090 ordered paid to Mrs. Sturges is on the capitol contract, which was the main matter of litigation. The Court holds that while Mr. Sturge; was not regularly employed, yet his services were accepted by the company and must be paid for. The Court overrules the contention that Mr. Sturges’s services are of no value and holds that he did good work for the company. The litigation, which is ended by this final arbitration. has extended over a long series of years and involved a claim for 52,000,090 for services rendered by William Sturges In promoting tho Texas capitol scheme. Th; capitol was to have been built at a cost ol 51,500,000 by John V. Farwell, of Chicago, his brother, ex-United States Senatoi Charles B. Farwell, and Congressman Abner Taylor. They wore to receive from the State of Texas 3,000.090 acres of Texas land stocked with 100,000 head of cattie The building cost more than was expected, and to obtain funds Sturges attempted to interest foreign capitalists, being promised, he claimed. 40 per cent, of all profits over *3,000,000. The dispute was over ths value of his services. Mr. Sturges is nou in a sanitarium, his mind having failed during the present hearing.

CARNOT. ASSASSINATED.

Awful Death of the Chief Executive of France. X Xo Cauw Known for th* Deed—The Aa- = *ti» Rescued From the—Hob by the Police and Military. President Carnot was assassinated at Lyons, France, Sunday night. The President was visiting Lyons in connection with the International Exhibition. Upon bis arrival’,he was tendered a reception al the perfccture, after which he visited thd Exhibition., After spend.ng some time at the Exhibition he proceeded to the Palaisl de Commerce, where a banquet was given in his honor. At 9:25 o’clock, President Carnot started* for the theater, where a performance was to be given because of his presence. Several carriages were in the procession, the firstonc being occupied by the President. M. Carnot's carriage

PRESIDENT CARNOT.

was driven slowly along in front of the Palace of Commerce and then turned into Rue de la Republique. When half way down the street a man rushed out of the crowd and sprang upon the steps of the President’s landau. JjistiZ.alu_thls moment M. Carnot was waving his right hand and saluting with his hat in his left hand in response to the ovation that was being given to him by the crowd. The people close to the carriage saw that the man standing on the step had a knife in his hand. By the glare of the electric lights they saw - the bright blade gleam in the air as theassassih's arm descended. and then President Carnot was seen to fall back in his seat. Une of his hands was pressed over his heart, where the steel had entered the body, M. Revand, Prefect of Lyons, who was seated beside M. Carnot, immediately struck the assassin a blow full in the face and knocked him from the step. Instantly cries of “Le President is assassinel’ “Mort a la assassin!” was heard on every side, and the crowd in the vicinity of the carriage swelled to enormous proportions, every member of it seemingly intent on killing the assassin. He was grasped by a dozen hands, and his life would have paid the forfeit of his crime had it not been for several sergeants de ville. The infuriated populace were determined to lynch the man, and the efforts of the sergeants availed nothing beyond saving the man from instant death.

In the meantime the news of the attempted murder had spread with light-ning-like rapidity and mounted guards were sent to the aid of the police, who were still struggling to preserve the life of the assassin. With drawn sabers in their hands the guards rode down into the swirling crowd, heedless of whom their horses trampled upon. The crowd gave way before the horses, and at last the center of the mob was reached. Then a cordon was formed around the ten almost exhausted police and their captive and the march to the police station began. The report of tho news of the assassination caused a gn at sensation at the Grand .Theater. All wpre waiting with impatience the arrival of the President and all were unable to understand the de; lay. Suddenly a man entered the theater crying at the top of his voice: “The President ha< been assassinated.” The most intense excitement followed this abrubt announcement.

When the police reached the, Place des’ Cordeliers they were obliged to stop while -the landau-in which were Gen. Boriasthe Prefect, the Mayor, and the wounded President escorted by a detachment of mounted guards, on a gallop, was driven rapidly past them and returned to the Prefecture. Shoit’y after jnidnlght the Archbishop of Lyons was summoned to the bedside of the dying President to administer to him the last rites of the church. He was in the room but a short time when he emerged and retired to an adjoining room Here he remained until 12:30,when he was again suminened to the President’s room, where he administered to him the sacrament. M. Carnot remained conscious to the last. Herealizcd that his life was rapidly ebbing, and twice lie said: “Jo rn'en vais.” (T am going away). Dr. Poncet leaned over the bed on which the President was lying, and said to him: “Your friends are here, Monsieur le President.” M. Carnot replied: “I am grateful for their presence.” and In less than a minute he gasped for breath, there was a convulsive shuddering of his body, and the President of France was dead. M. Carnot's last speech was delivered at the lanqiu given l in his honor. He dwelt upon the success of the Exhibition and said the same heart beats in all French breasts when It is known that the honor, socniitv or r ghts of the country are at stake. This same union of all Frenchmen formed a guarantee of the march to progress and justice, to which it belonged to France to give an example to the world. The assassin is an Italian named Cesare Giovanni Santo. He is but twenty-five years old. He refused to answer questions regarding the motive for stabbing the President, declaring that ho would only speak on this subject tiefore a Judge. After M. Carnot had been taken to the prefecture it became generally known that nia assassin was an Italian, and the feeling of deep indignation among the crowd found vent in the form of attacks upon cases kept by inoffensive natives of Italy.' Three such places in the vicinity of t'ie Palace of Commerce were totally wrecked by the infuriated mob. ; The wildest excitement prevailed in 1 Paris when "the death of the President was announced. A Cabinet Council "a(summoned. A successor to Carnot will be chosen. Wednesday. The French constitution requires that in the event of t):o Presidency becoming vacant by death <>: otherwise-, the Chain tiers must meet witl.i in three days of the time the vacancy occurs. In the meantime the ministry directs the public business. Mme. Carnot and her two daughter left Paris for Lyons at I a. m.. Monda’ The balance of the President's family were with him at Lyons.
