PITTSBUUG , Pa. , March 0. [ Special Telegram
gram to Tun BEE. ] Frances E. WlllarJ ,
president of thn world's , and also tbo Na
tional Woman's Christian Temperance
union , at last opens bor lips in regard to trio
recent paroxysm In that organization. She
is hero to attend a meeting of the Alle
gheny County Woman's Christian Temperance -
anco union , and in response to a question
she said :
"Tho Woman's Christian Temperance
union is neither partisan nor non-partisan ,
though it has often been called both. Not a
dollar has ever gone from our treasury to tba
prohibition party , though wo have adopted
resolutions endorsing a part } ' taat favors the
temperance cause. This wo have repeatedly
done for the republican party In Iowa
and Kansas. In 1S84 I presented to
each national party a petition , ask
ing for the insertion of a plank
m tbolr platform fu'vorabto to the submis
sion of a prohibitory amendment to the con
stitution , und all declined except the pro
hibition party , and. that is why wo endorsed
it alone. That resolution endorsing the
prohibition party does not bind the minority ,
for wo have explicitly declared that no mi
nority is bound by any action of the
Women's Christian Temperance Union.
Iowa bus opposed the resolution , and has
boon free to do so. Indeed , the president ot
its state Women's Christian Temporuncn
Union heads the reoclliou , though she
[ Mrs. Dllen Foster ] still remains a member
of the executive committed of the national
Woman's Christian Tomperunco Union.
Now , wo claim that in passing our annual
resolution wo do no injustice to aliy one. but
maintain the right of free speech , and a
minority ol the Women's Christian Temperance -
anco Union is never 'oppressed. ' The fact is.
wu believe we ought to follow the flag of
prohibition wherever it waves. If this is
partisun , and so far as the resolution is con
cerned it Is , we are prepared to dofcnd it.
Thcro Is to bo a party that will combine the
farmer and waga worker , that will make its
force felt in the next cunfpafgn , and the pro
hibition party will form Us nucleus. When
'
that party co'incs wo will side wltti it and
take the consequences. "

Tlio petition of tbo Woman's Industrial
Icnguo was presented asking that two women
bo appointed on the world's fair committee
of 1892. Referred.
Tlio entire morning won consumed in the
discussion of a bill for tbo compulsory at
tendance ot witnesses before registers and
receivers of land oOlcora , but no action was
taken thereon.
Mr. Lnwlor of Illinois presented a petition
signed by 0,000 postal railway clerks praying
for an Increase of salary.
The house then In tbo committee of tbo
whole proceeded to the consideration of pub
lic buildings hills.
The following bills were laid aside with
favorable recommendations : For a public
building nt Gulesburg , III. , to coBt $75,000 ;
for a public building nt Ashland , U'ls. , to
cost $ m,000.
A bill culled up appropriating $200,000 for a
publlo building at Ban Jose , Cat. , was the
object of a vigorous attack from Mr. Cannon
ot Illinois. He criticised tbo action of tbo
committee on public i buildings anil grounds
and lUludcd to "DorU in Urn pot. " In bis
own town. Danville , the postofllca tto was
leased for § 700 n year. That was sufficient
for the postoftlco building there , and morn
business was done there than tbo average
business of towns where thu commlttoo pro
vided for tbo creation of publlo buildings.
Millikon replied that nobody doubted the
gentleman's town Was a cheap town ,
Cunnon said ho would content himself with
votiug against bills which his judgment told
him were not proper. The gentleman must
answer ttieir constituents for their votes.
Mlllil&n said tie would eudcavor to got
along with bis constituents without a lecture
from tbo gentleman from Illinois , If it was
not for bis friendly feelings toward tbo gen
tleman from Illinois ho would suggest
further that he had never seen a man at-
tomtit to impute to another man that he had
"pork in the pot" that he was not the first
fellow to get a band into the pot.
Air. Cannon asked the eontloman to be
kind enough to oxplntu'bis last rutuarlc. Did
the gentleman mean to say that ho ( Cannon )
had asked or intimated that ho desired the'
committee to recommend anyblll ?
Mr. Millikon said the gentleman 'had 'se
verely reflected upon the cornuiittccs.
Mr. Cannon said he had criticised the com
mittee as ho had a right to do. Ho bad not
criticized any gentleman personally , "and if
the gentlemau , " ho continued , "in his zeal
sought by innuendo , or by intimidation to
allege that if it had not been for friendly re
lation with me ho could Urge aught ngainst
my character or otherwise , hero'and now let
us have it. " As hu wus uttering those
words do was slowly approaching Mr. Milli-
Iten. ana as ho finished the sentence be
tapped that gentleman on the shoulder amid
the laughter of the house. Throughout
both gentlemen manifested a good deal of
excitement , but thn house was very good
humored and thoroughly enjoyed the con
troversy , which ended by Mr. .Millikon dis
claiming any intention to Insinuate anything
ngainst a gentleman "who was us nearly per
fect as any man in' the world. "
Mr. Clunie-sald that if ho had known the
bill wus going to create so much disturbance
he might not Imvo introduced it , but he had
thought tbut it would not be immodest in
him , not having a'puolic building in his dis
trict , to'tisk congress to give , him one. Ho
did not believe that after bo had Voted Tor
every bill coming from tbo' republican side
the gentleman from Illinois would create so
much exoin.inoiit over the first bill coming
from tlio : i < ; mocnitlo side. [ Laughter. | After
further debate the bill was laid aside favorably - ,
ably and the committee rising it , together
with the preceding bills , wus reported to the
bouse.
In the house Mr. Cannon made a vigorous
light against the Washington postolllco bill ,
moving to adjourn amid cries ' of "dilatory
motion" from the democrats and raising the
point of no quorum amid shouti of "Jlhbust-
erme" from the same source. The speaker
counted a quorum and the bill was passed ,
as were tbo other bills reported favorably.

to punish correspondents.

delegation had a conference with Secretary
Proctor today in regard to the proposed
transfer of tbo headquarters of tbo depart- .
incut ot the Missouri from Lea von worth to

WASHINGTON- , March 0. The ways and
moans commlttoo today hoard the repre
sentatives of the Brewors1 association In op
position to tbo Increase of the duty on hops.
President Lcfens of Chicago presented
statistics and argued tbat the increase of
duty would not benefit the "American hop
growers , as they produced nil the hops re
quired for hotno consumption except a few
imported for flavoring beor.
Vice President Schnrman of tbo Brewers'
association argued in confirmation of
Lofons1 statement.
Chairman McICinloy road from a memorial
jointly drawn up by the Brewers' associa
tion and the Hop Growers' association , in
which the former agreed to assist the hop
growers in securing und maintaining adequate -
quato protection for their product.
Witness admitted this was the result of
nn ncreomont by which the hop growers
wore to aid the brewers in preventing the
enactment of prohibitory liquor laws. Ho
maintained that in prohibition states moro
liquor was drank than in states whore li
censes wora granted.
Dingloy of Malno was much interested in
this and endeavored to controvert it. Ho
said the distillers sided with the browera m
tholr oppositions prohibition , which would
not bo a consistent course if moro whisky
was consumed under a prohibitory law than
in its absence.
Schurman persisted , however , m the state
ment that prohibition decreased tbo con

WASHINGTON , ' March 0. The interstate
commerce commission today gave a rehear
ing to the railroad companies m the matter
of the rote on corn and corn products from
Indianapolis to the seaboard. On February
7 the commission made an order directing
the Pennsylvania and the Baltimore & Ohio
roads to ccaso discrimination in tbcso rates.
The railroads claim that the Interests of the
carriers and producers require 'a lower rate
on corn than on its products. They also
maintain that the assumption of tbo commis
sion that .corn reaching the Indianapolis
market is not affected by water competition
is decidedly erroneous. _

officer of the watch to cut mo down. His
orders were not obeyed ? and Captain Me-
Calla sent his orderly for bis sword. At
this tlmo I was chained hand and foot to a
nine-Inch gun In the starboard gangway near
the starboard ladder. The irons were the
latest pattern of prison shackles with spring
locltn. Three pairs were on mo ono pair on
my legs , another on my hands , and another
chaining mo to the gun , Cantalu McCalla
shouted :
' 'Stand clear whllo I cut him down.1
"Ho then walked behind mo. I was chained
in such a position that I could not sea what
he was doing. Ho dealt mo a terrible blow
on the back of the bead. My cup had fallen
off and tbo blow cut dcop into my bead.
Blood inst intly Docan to flow m a torrent
down the back of my neck.
" 'You s.bould bo proud of this , ' I said , after
tor he struck mo. 'You nro spilling tbo
blood of a good southerner. '
"As I said this Captain McCalla ordered
the marines standing by to gag mo and ono
of thorn put his bayonet in my mouth and
tied it behind with a piece of hemp. I did
not curse McCalla , but after I was
gagged bo struck mo a second and third
blow. As ho struck the second tlmo First
Lieutenant Ingersoll cried out 'For God's
sake don't kill the man , ' and turned bis
head away BO as not to see. As Captain
McCalla struck mo ogam and
brought mo to my knees , I
heard omo of my mates forward shout ,
Now you have done It,1 to the captain.
" 'Yos , ' sung out McCalla. Then ho added ,
speaking to the watch : 'Get that man
there and I will do him the sarno way. ' The
ofllcor 'of the watch ran forward to get
the man , but bo bad got away , Bo-
fora I became unconscious the captain or
dered the miister-ut-arms to ball up salt
water. As the buckets were drawn up and
placed on deck , Captain McCa'la ' himself
took them and throw water on mo. By tno
time ho finished with thU the loss of blood
and the shock of the cold water had driven
uio'entiroly out of my head. After that I
remember nothing until two days later. "

twcon himself and the officer , so that If ho
shot nt him ho must necessarily kill the
other convict , und Warden Toinpkina was
