In the senate on the 9thby a vote
of yeas 28. nays 21) ) , the senate refused
to reconsider the vote of Saturday re
committing the eight-hour bill to the
committee on education and labor , and
the bill therefore stands recommitted.
The senate took up the house copy
right bill and Ir. Platt made a brief
explanation. Mr. 1'rye offered an
amendment extendingth& principles
of the bill to maps , charts , dramatic
or musical compositions , engraving's ,
cuts , prints , chromes and lithographs.
After a long discussion the lithographic
amendment was agreed to yeas 27 ,
nays 2-1. Mr. Sherman moved to
amend section ! > by striking out the
word "prohibited" and inserting in
lieu thereof the words , "subject to the
duties provided by law , "so that books ,
etc. , copyrighted here and printed
abroad shall not bo prohibited , ' but
shall be subject to the payment of
tariff duties. The amendment went
over without action. In the house the
sundry civil bill was considered. Its
consideration completed , the committee
proceeded to the discussion of the leg
islative appropriation bill. General
debate was postponed until tomorrow
itnd the biil was read by paragraphs
for amendment. Mr. Hayes of Iowa
offered an amendment providing ses
sion clerks to representatives with a
salary of'6 a day. After some dis
cussion this amendment with an amend
ment fixing the salaries of clerks at
§ 100 a month was agreed to. The
committee then rose and the sundry
civil bill passed. The senate amend
ment to the fortification bill was non-
concurred in.
In the .senate on the 10th the house
bill to revise the wages of certain em
ployes in the government printing office
-was passed with a substitute providing
for an advance for night employes.
The naval appropriation bill was then
taken up. The first amendment re
ported from' the committee on appro
priations was the following : To enable
the president to cause careful sound
ings to be made between San Francisco
and Honolulu for the purpose of determining -
-mining the practicability of laying a
telegraphic cable between these points ,
-20.000 or so much thereof as may be
necessary , and the president is hereby
authorized to direct the use of any ves
sel or vessels belonging to the United
-States in making such survey. Agreed
to after remarks by Mr. Gorman to the
effect that it is not to be regarded as
committing the government in any way
to the proposition that the government
was to lay this cable. The paragraph
was amended to read "for arms' ' in
stead of "equipment and arms , " and
-agreed to 31 to 15. The president's
veto message on the bill for a public
building at Dallas. Tex. , ( with the ac
tion of the house passing the bill over
Iho veto ) , was presented and re
ferred. Eulogies were delivered on
-the late liepresentativc Walker of
Missouri and the senate adjourned.
In the house the house bill increasing
to $100 per month the pension of the
widow of General Custer passed. The
.army and pension and appropriation
bills were sent to conference. After
consideration of some other business
the house went into committee of the
whole on the legislative appropriation
bill. In a general debate the liarun-
dia case was revived by Mr. Dalzell of"
Pennsylvania , who defended the action
of Commander Keiter. The public
veprimana administered to the com
mander by the secretary of the navy ,
lie snid. wits unwarranted and unjust.
Mr. Dalzell nttirmed that Guatemala
had a right to arrest liarundia while
on board the Arcapulco.Vas there ,
he asked , "one law to be followed
when we faced Guatemala , and another
when we faced Great Britain , France
-or Germany ? ' ' He said "nay. " ' The
killing of Barundia could not do the
American fiag any harm. It never had
been the function of our fiag , it was
not now. it never would be. to nrotect
criminals , to defeat the administration
of jus ce. to defy the well recognized
principles of international law. ! No
" definite action was taken on the bill.
In the senate on the llth Mr. Teller
offered a resolution , which was agreed
to , calling upon the secretary of the
treasury for information as to silver
purchased under the act of July 4 , 1S90.
Mr. Morgan offered a resolution , which
was agreed to , calling upon the secre
tary of the interior for copies of the
.regulations for carrying into effect the
land forfeiture act of September 29 ,
1SS9. Among the measures taken from
the calendar and passed was the senate
bill to authorize the construction of a
bridge across the St. Croix river be
tween Wisconsin and Minnesota. Con
sideration of the naval appropriation
bill was resumed. An amendment rec
ommended by the committee , leaving
it to the secretary of the navy to de
cide upon the site of dry docks , was
-agreed , to. Mr. Hale offered a subsii-
1 tute that no contract be made until its
subject matter shall have been submit-
t ted to public competition by advertis-
* --ing. The substitute was agreed to and
the bill passed. Mr. Wolcott , from
, " . the committee on civil service , reported
. - "back "without recommendation the
senate' bill to secure preference in
*
-the appointment , employment and re-
tcntion in the public service to veter-
. -.ans of the late war. The copyright
"bill was taken up.vbutaid aside in-
formally , an-I a number or bills on the
calendar passed. Among thcr.t were
the senate joint resolution to continue
in force the laws of Nebraska in Okla
homa until July 1 next. In the house
the senate bill passeu to establish the
record and pension oflico in the war
department. The house then went
into committee of the whole ( Pay-
son of Illinois in the chair ) on the leg
islative appropriation bill. General
debate having closed , the reading of
the bill continued. The paragraph
relative to the civil service commis
sion were na.sscd.ovcr for the present ,
and without disposing of the bill the
committee adjourned.
In the senate on the 12th among the
bills reported and placed on the calen
dar was one to incorporate the Pan-
American transportation company.
The copyright bill was laid aside in
formally and the District of Columbia
appriation bill amended and passed.
The senate biil for the relief of settlers
upon certain lands in Iowa was passed :
also a number of pension bills , includ
ing the house bill granting $100 a
month to General Banks. In'the house
the legislative appropriation bill was
under consideration. In speaking to
the pension office paragraph Mr.
Cooper of Indiana made an attack upon
the superintendent of the pension
building , asserting that ho had stored
several hundred bushels of potatoes in
the pension office and sold them to em
ployes , thus turning a government de
partment into a huckstering establish
ment. Mr. Enloe of Tennessee at
tacked the administration of the pen
sion office and offered an amendment
reducing to $3,000 the salary of the
commissioner. The amendment was
withdrawn. Speaking to a verbal
amendment Mr. Hoover of Mississippi
referred to printing Cleveland's letter
in the Itecord. He wished to say that
there was no man in the country ,
whether he had held a distinguished
position or whether ho had an ambi
tion to hold the highest position within
the gift of the American people ( be
he of one party or another ) who could
lay down the lav.to the great masses
of this country who thought for them
selves. Whatever might be the opin
ion of any one man , he had no right
to speak for the great laboring inter
ests of the country , which stood back
and behind his constitution and the
law. He believed the constituents
wanted the free coinage of both metals.
I will say that I do not think that a
man on the continent of America will
ever be the candidate of the democratic
party for president of the United States
who is opposed to the free coinage of
silver.
In the senate on the loth the copy
right bill was considered , the pending
question being on Mr. Sherman's
amendment to strike out the word
"prohibited" and insert "subject to
the duties provided by law , " so that
foreign editions of boolcs , etc. , copy
righted in the United States may be
admitted on payment of the regular
tariff. The debate on it lasted all
afternoon and the amendment was
finally agreed to 25 to 2-1 and the
bill was laid aside. In the house the
legislative appropriation bill was un
der discussion. Mr. Cannon moved an
amendment providing for a secretary
and stenographer at $1,600 a year
each. This , he said , would comply
with the terms of the organic law.
Mr. Butterworth said this appropria
tion was worse than mockery. It was
a hypocritical pretense of responding
to the promises of the republican party.
He did not know whether the gentle
men's constituents had so declared , but
every national convention had de-
ela.red to the people that it was in fa
vor of enforcing the law. Now let the
members , if they did not want the law.
repeal it like men. A long debate ensued -
sued , participated in by Messrs. Lodge ,
Grosvenor. Greenhalgc and others.
Finally Mr. Dingley moved to amend
Mr. Cannon's amendment by inserting
a provision appropriating $36.000 to
enable the commission to execute the
provisions of the acr. After debate
the amendment was agreed to and Mr.
Cannon's amendment , as amended , was
adopted. The committee rose and re
ported the bill to the house. The first
question was on the amendment pro
viding for clerks to members not chair
men of committees. It was defeated
72 to 146. The bill then passeu.
The Indian chiefs visiting in Wash
ington called at the white house and
paid their respects to the president.
J'iiey listened attentively to a short
ss from the chief executive.

IiidlniiN Give Their Version of the
Wounded Knee Horror *
WASHINGTON , Feb. 12. The Indian
conference closed yesterday and the
Indians will start for home Friday.
The feature of the day's talk was the
story of the fight at Wounded Knee.
Turning Hawk said at a given time ,
when the men had delivered up their
guns , they were separated from their
families and taken to a certain spot.
A crazy man. a young man of very bad
influence , fired his gun , killing an olli-
cer. The other Indians began draw
ing knives , although they were ex
horted from all sides to desist and fir
ing began immediately on the part of
the soldiers. All the men who were
in a bunch were killed right there and
those who escaped that first lire got
into a ravine. As they went along
the ravine for a long distance they
were pursued on all sides by the sold
iers and shot down. The women had
no arms to fight with. They were
standing off at a different place and
when the firing began those of the
men who escaped the first volley went
in one direction up the ravine and the
women went in a different direction
through an open field , but met the
same fate as the men.
American Horse said when the firing
began the people who were standing
immediately around the young man
who fired the first shot were killed , and
then the soldiers turned their guns on
the women who were in the lodges
standing there under a fiag of truce.
Of course , as soon as they were fired
upon they lied. There was a woman
with an infant in her arms killed as
she almost touched the flag of truce.
Kight near the ilag another was shot
down. Her child not knowing its
mother was dead , was still nursing , and
it was a very sad sight. The women ,
as they were fleeing with their babes
on their backs , were killed together ,
and the women heavy with child were
also killed. After most of the Indians
had been killed a cry was made that
all those not killed or wounded should
come forth and they would be safe.
The little boys that were not wounded
came out of their places of refuge , and
as soon as they came in sight a num
ber of soldiers surrounded them and
butchered them.
Commissioner Morgan said to the
interpreter :
' 1 wish you would say to him that
these are very serious charges to make
against the army. I do not want any
statements that are not absolutely true ,
and I want anyone here that feels the
statements are too strong to correct
them. " '
American Horse repiiod of course it
would have been all right if only the
jnen were killed. 13ut the fact of the
killing of the women and more espec
ially the young boys and girls , who are
to make up the future s rength of the
Indian people , we feel very sorely.
Commissioner Does American
Horse know these things of his own
personal knowledge , or lias he been
told them ?
American Horse I was not there at
the time before the burial of the bodies
ies , but I did go there with some In
dian police and many people from the
agency , and we went through the bat
tlefield and saw where the bodies were
from the track of the biood.
Rev. M. Cook , a Sioux half-breed ,
pastor of the Episcopal church at Fine
llidge , among other things , said :
' ' Itich has been said about the good
spirit with which the members of the
Seventh cavalry went into that action.
It has been said the desire to avenge
Custer's death was entirely absent
from their minds. In coming toward
Chicago in company with General
Miles I talked with one of his own
scouts , who was almost killed because
he was compelled to ily with the In
dians , being fired upon by the men
whom he tried to serve and help. lie
told me after he recovered , from his
fright and succeeded in getting among
the soldiers , after they all got in from
killing the Indians , an oilicer of hicrh
ranic. he did not know who , came to
him and said : *
"Xow we have avenged Custer's
death. " And the scout said to him :
-Yes : but you had every cause to
fight for your lives that day. ' "
These poor Indian people did not
have that opportunity to protect and
fight for themselves. If this is an in
dication of the spirit of any number of
the men in that company. I am sure
the Seventh cavalry did not go there
with the kindest of motives simmy
to bring these poor people back.
After several others had spoken the
commissioners declared the conference
at an end.
Geit. lUilos on the \Vonnded Knee
Butchery.
WASHINGTON. Feb. 13. The secre
tary of war has made public the report
of the investigation of the battle of
Wounded Knee , particularly with ref
erence to Colonel Forsythc's conduct
on that occasion. The record of the
court of inquiry is indorsed by Major-
General Miles under date of Chicago ,
January 31. He says in part :
Colonel Forsythe had received re
peated warnings as to the desperate
and deceitful character of Big Foot's
band of Indians and repeated orders
to the exercise of constant vigilance to
guard against sin-prise or disaster un
der all circumstances. These warnings
"rind orders were unheeded * -anA disre
garded by Colonel Forsythe.
He had been warned that this par
ticular band contained many of the
most desperate and deceitful charcters
of the Sioux nation , and the religious
excitement made them peculiarly dan
gerous. Under these circumstances
the apparent indifference and security
of the olllccr in command of the troops
at Wounded Knee is incomprehensible
and inexcusable.
Not a single company was so dis
posed as to deliver its fire upon the
warriors without endangering the
lives of some of their own comrades.
It is difficult to conceive how a worse
disposition of troops could have been
made.
The testimony goes to show that the
most of the troops were forced to with
hold their fire , leaving the brunt of the
affair to fall upon two companies until
such warriors as had been killed broke
through or overpowered the small force
directly about them and reached the
camp occupied by the women and chil
dren. The battery of four Ilotchkiss
guns had until then been useless , the
friction primers having been removed
from the guns by order of the captain
commanding the battery , lest the gun
ners might , in their excitement , dis
charge the pieces .and destroy their
own comrades. These guns were now
opened upon the Indian camp , even at
that time placing in peril troops C and
D of the Seventh cavalry , which were
obliged to retreat for some distance
owing to the fire from these guns and
from the small arms of other portions
of the command.
The fact that the large number of
the 106 warriors were without firearms
when the outbreak occurred is shown
by the evidence that forty-eight guns
had been taken from the tepees , and a
personal search of twenty or more war
riors resulted in finding them unarmed.
The fact , taken in connection with
the extremely injudicious disposition
of the troops and the large number of
casualties among them , constrains the
belief that some casualties were suf
fered at the hands of our own men.
The fatal disposition of the troops was
such as at the outset to counteract in
a great measure the immense disparity
of strength , and would have been in
excusable in the face of an armed and
desperate foe , even had no especial
warnings and orders been received
from higher authority.
I can only partially account for the
sigular apathy and neglect of Colonel
Forsythe upon the theory of his in
difference to and contempt for the re
peated and urgent warnings and orders
received by him from the division com
mander or by his incompetence and
entire inexperience in the responsibil
ity of exercising command where judg
ment and discretion are required.
1 also forward herewith the report
of Captain Baldwin of the Fifth in
fantry concerning the iindin ? of the
bodies of women and children three
miles from the scene of the engage
ment on Wounded Knee creek.
This report indicates the nature oi
some of the results of the unfortunate
affair results which are viewed with
the strongest disapproval by the under
signed. XKI.SON A. MILKS.

ISoprcscntative Carter on Silver.
WASHINGTON' , Feb. 11. Represent
ative Carter of Montana , who is chair
man on mines and mining and a mem
ber of the committee on coinage ,
weights and measures , t-ays that he
believes that the latter committee will
within a week report upon the senate
unlimited silver coinage bill. He was
unable to say whether the committee
would simply make an adverse report
upon that measure without recom
mending anything else , or whether ic
would propose a substitute providing
for the unlimited free coinage of Amer
ican silver only. Mr. Carter was sure
of one thing , however , and that was
that whatever action the committee
may take will be ratified by the house.
He said the unlimited coinage of ail
silver offered was entirely out of the
question , and that the friends of un
limited coinage have wrecked their
cause in the senate by various trades
and propositions to weicrh , down ap
propriation bills with this question.
He said free coinage for American sil
ver would readily pass either house ,
and of course the president would
cheerfully sign it.
There was a conference last night of
a number of the free coinage men , and
it is the impression among even the
most ardent unlimited coinage advo
cates that if there is any final legisla
tion upon the silver question during
the session it will provide only for the
coinage of American silver. It may
be. however , that if a measure of this
character should be passed it will con
tain the further provision that should
the amount of American silver offered
for coinage not aggregate in each year
the amount now purchased , the secre
tary of the treasury may buy from the
market a sufficient amount of foreign
silver to bring the total up to the pres
ent totals.
For Exportation of Live Stock.
WASHINGTON. Feb. 11. Stock-
bridge. from the committee on com
merce , has reported to the house a bill
to provide for the safe transport and
humane treatment of cattle exported
from the United States to foreign coun
tries. It authorizes the secretary of
agriculture to examine the vessels car
rying export cattle from ports of the
United States to foreign countries and
prescribe by rules and regulations for
uroner transnortation.
The acting secretary of the treasury
has sent to the house estimates of ex
penses for collecting the revenue from
customs for the coming fiscal year ,

the salaries required for each collec

Ileath of General Shermun.
oitK , Fob. 10 General Shor
mttri died Saturday afternoon at 1:50
o'clock , surrounded by his family.
All night long General Sherman
wavered between life and death and
continued to fight bravely the hope
less battle. Early in the evening the
physicians knew the end was approaching
preaching slowly but surely. The
swelling of the face and neck disap
peared , but with the subsidence of the
symptoms of erysipelas came a devel
opment of the lung trouble , compli
cated with the return of longstanding
ing asthma. Mucus began once moro
to accumulate in the lungs and thefirst
signs of passive pneumonia became ap
parent.
About C o'clock in the morning a
decided change for the worse set in
and Dr. Green was summoned from the
hitter's residence again. Another
hour and all the members of General
Sherman's family were summoned to
the sick room. Death seemed nearer ,
but the sufferer refused to succumb.
After a consultation of the physi
cians it was given out that General
Sherman's condition was hopeless , that
the end was rapidly approaching and
that the bronchial difficulty was mak
ing marked progress. At the time this
bulletin was issued there was by the
dying man's bedside and in the adjoin
ing room , the General's unmarried
daughters Rachel and Lizzie , Mrs.
Fitch , Mrs. Colgate Hoyt , Mrs. Thack-
ara , Lieutenant Thackara , Senator
John Sherman , I ? . T. Sherman and Drs.
Janeway and Alexander , besides the
latter's assistant , Dr. Green.
The general passed away without
speaking to any member of his family
gathered about him. His four daugh
ters were present and his son , P. T.
Sherman , and Senator Sherman and
the attending physicians. Secretary
Barrett and some other friends were in
a room below.
The Feeling In "
WASHINGTON , Feb. 16. General
Sherman's death has had an effect upon
Washington socially and politically
which no other death has had since
that of Lincoln. General Sherman
had something more than an ordinary
hold upon t\ie people here. He was
better known personally than any
other man that ever occupied the posi
tion of general of the army. lie came
in contact with more persons since ho
retired from public life than any ex-
general Washington has ever pro
duced. The many thousands of public
and private citizens felt a thrill of
sorrow , which was nothing less than
distressingly painful , for hours after
the news finally came down from 2sew
York that the brave old veteran who
marched to the sea was no more. The
effect was the realization , which was
never so forcibly felt before , that the
great heroes of the late war are nearly
all dead , and that within a decade
those who lead the federal army to
victory and kept the union intact will
be only known in history. The senti
ment which seems to attach to the
deatli of Gederal Sherman has never-
hovered about a great man in civil
life. The last time he appeared at
the capitol , only a few weeks since
and the instance was related in these
dispatches an evidence was given of
the estimation in which he was held.
As he entered the senate chamber Air.
Cockrell of Missouri was speaking , but
so many senators left their seats and
clustered about the general that Sena
tor Cockrell was forced to suspend his
speech for some minutes and Vice
President Morton had to repeatedly
rap for order. His reception was
nothing less than a genuine ovation.
General Miermaii'N Old K
ST. Louis , Feb. 16. General Sher
man was the first colonel of the Thir
teenth United States infantry and P. .T.
Carmody is , perhaps , the only survivor
of the regiment who lives here. Can-
tain Carmody wired P. T. Sherman
asking what arrangement , if any , had
been made as to the place of honor for
veterans of one of the dead chieftain's
early commands.
The following reply has been re
ceived from P. T. Sherman : "Win
mske arrangements for you to join
Ransom post. Grand. Army of the "lie-
public , and escort the body. Join it
with none but survivors of the Thir
teenth. " About one hundred and
twenty-five survivors are left , most of
whom live in Iowa. Minnesota and
Wisconsin. Captain Carmody wishes
to hear from as many comrades as he
can. and he invites them to join him in
honoring their late colonel. He mav
be addressed at 215Xorth Sixth street.
Arrangement * far the Funeral.
XK\\'YOUK. Feb. 1G. The prelim
inary arrangements for the funeral of
the late General Sherman have been
made. The funeral cortege will move
at 2 o'clock Thursday next from the
house in West Seventy-first street.
The funeral services proper will beheld
*
held in St. Louis. The funeral in St.
Louis wiii be strictly military in char
acter , Interment will be in the Cal
vary cemetery. On account of the
expressed wish of General Sherman
when alive it was decided not to com
ply with the request of President Harrison
risen that the body be taken tc Wash-
nigton and there lay in state for a day
It will not lay in state anvwhcre.
