WASHINGTON- , May 13. Among the peti
tions presented and referred in the senate
today wjis one by Mr. Quay from the business
men of Philadelphia remonstrating against
tbo Increase of the duty on dress.goods made
wholly or partly from wool. .
Mr. IJavIs , from the committee on pen-
nlons , reported back the house substitute for
the scnato dependent pension bill with n
written report and moved that the house
substitute bo non-concurred In mid a confer
ence asked. Agreed to and conferees ap
pointed.
The senate then resumed consideration of
the sliver bill nnlfMr. Jones of Nevada con
tinued the speech begun yesterday by him.
Mr. Jones opposed the Idea of redeeming
treasury notes In bullion , on the ground that
when they wcro so redeemed the monetary
circulation would J > o contracted and putting
bullion on the market would not make up to
the country for the loss of money from circu-
ration. Gold , by reason of Its greater value ,
V notwithstanding all the legislation in Its
favor , could never become the common
money medium ol the world. Was there any
conceivable necessity for the demonetization
of either mcttiU Why , ho asked , demonetize
that which promised the greater and moro
steady yield ? It wns absolutely vital to the
welfare of ttoclcty that both silver mid gold
should lo ; in full and unlimited use us money
mid equally invested with the power of legal
tender.
in conclusion Mi' . .Tones snut : "I predict
that the restoration of silver to Its birth-right
will mark an epoch in the history of this re
public. It wilf place in circulation an amount
of money commensurate with 'our increasing
population. It will give assurance to our
languishing industries that the volume of our
circulating medium is not to continue shrink
ing and that the tendency of prices will no
longer bo downward. It will increase the
wages of labor and the price of the products
of labor. It will reduce the price of bonds
and other forms of money futures. It will
lighten , but not inequitably , the burden of
mortgages. It will Increase largely , though
not unjustly , the debt-paying and tax-paying
power ) f the people. It will lessen the grasp
of the creditor from the neck of the debtor.
< "By the demonetization of silver money
\ will cease to become an object of commerce
mid will again become its bencllcient instru
ment. Lifting up silver to its rightful plane
by the side of gold will set In motion all the
latent energies of the people. It will banish
involuntary idleness by putting every willing
man to work. It will revive business and
rcanlmnto the heart and bopo of the masses.
Capital , no longer fearing u fall in prices ,
will turn into productive avenues and tills it
will accomplish not for the United Suites
alone but for civilization , for it is not too
much to siiy that upon the decision of this
question depend consequences moro incment-
ous than of any other question of public
policy within the memory of Ibis genera
tion. In n broader , r' < -DOS aif.han any
'
other question nttraetlng-r'om' \ , \ oral nttcn-
.Uoiiof mankind it is aqiios , s nil civilization.
It embodies the hopes and ns > . . .titlons of our
race. The act of congress which shall hap
pily solve it will constitute a decree of eman
cipation as veritable as any that over freed
the serf from thraldom , but moro universal in
its application. It will inaugrato n true re
naissance a renaissance of prosperity , with
out which industry , learning , science , litera
ture and art are but apples of Sodom. "
In answer to questions Mr. Jones said that
If there was free coinage of silver ho believed
in three days the silver not used for coinage
would bo worth $1.-'J ! ' an ounce , and that there
it would remain.
Mr. Jones of Arkansas next addressed the
senate. Ho said the bill as it stood should
never become a law , but should bo amended
by making it provide at least for the unlim
ited coinage of silver whenever the price
reached a point at which the government
ceased to be n purchaser. This was an abso
lute necessity unless the purpose was to do
st oy silver as money. These who would
vf ' for the bill as It stood certainly intended
-.tlw . demonetization of .silver and might as
well avow It. While striking a fatal blow at
the interests of the great body of the people
they intend only to benefit the sellers of sil
ver bullion by increasing its price. The de
liberate purpose to discredit silver treasury
notes by refusing to make them legal tender
miggcsjed further tlfc real purpose had In
view by the republican party.
Mr. Jones added that If the newspaper re
ports and the common understanding around
the capitol were entitled to any consideration ,
every republican senator except the senator
from Colorado ( Teller ) had agreed , either in
conference or caucus , to vote for It.
Senators IngallH , Allison nnd others That
is not true.
Mr. Allison said the bill , far from being the
result of a caucus , was the result of the de
liberations of the finance committee. No sug
gestions of n caucus was made on either sldo
of the chamber until some time after the bill
was reported.
Mr. Harris , a member of the nuance com
mittee , says the bill was reported by a ma
jority vote of the committee. Ho had no
knowledge or suspicion of a caucus having
had anything to do with it. The
minority favored and still favored
the absolute free coinage of silver. But the
question with that majority , of which ho was
one. narrowed itself down to the i > olntof ac
cepting the pending measure in lion of the
existing law , under which only L',000,000 sil
ver dollars were coined monthly. Ho hm- !
belf had decided to do so , The bill then went
over (111 ( tomorrow.
After an executive session the senuto ad

House.
WAMIINOTON , May 1 ! ) . After the transao-
stkm of some routine business the house went
Into committee of the whole , Mr. Pay-sou of
Illinois in the chair , on the tariff bill.
Mr. McMlllln of Texas moved to reduce the
duty on ammonia. Ho could see no reason
why this article of necessity to farmers should
bo so heavily taxed.
Mr. Mclvlnley opposed the amendment nnd
mild that the tariff had encouraged competi
tion in this country and the price of ammonia
had been reduced from " 0 to } cents per
pound. .
Mr. Buttorworlh of Ohio suggested that
while ho know nothing of the case under con-
KiilcnUlon the prlco of the article was not ro-
ijucecl on account of competition nloue. It
was reduced on account of improved methods
of manufhctui'O. So far as ho wits capable of
doing bo had tried to understand the tariff
question and ho had never doubted that the
protection system was wise , humane and had
scattered blessings on the land from shore to
shore. If there was any danger to the protec
tive system It was In Its oscillation between
the extreme of free trade on ono hand and thu
other extreme , which' created inequali
ties among Americans themselves. The
country in its election of Harrison
nnd a republican congress had declared
unequivocally in favor of sustaining and up
holding the protective system. The republi
can policy was that the tariff , whether higher
or low , biiould bo adjusted so us to establish ,
cherish and protect American interests anil
industrlcH In competition with the rest of the
world , Did that policy mean to remove the
inequalities which ixlsted between the indus
tries on tills sldo of the water and the Industries -
tries on the other side , or did It mean to shut
out all importation ! Ho Insisted that wo
bhould not create Inequalities. Ho Insisted
that u vroUcllvo system should deal with I
Vw * ' I
conditions nnd not with national bound
ary lines , except when the presence
of these national boundary lines
Indicated the presence of these conditions
against tie | influence of which It wns neces
sary to Interpose the barrier of protective
tariff. If the tariff did not deal with condi
tions then the tariff was not good In the ab
stract and If It was the fathers of the repul -
lic had paid themselves a compliment when
they provided that as between the states
these should bo no restrictions of commerce.
Competition never created n new In
dustry ; thcv were created by work of
the brain by Inventors. The commlttco
had tried to do the best It
could in framing the bill , but It was not al
ways safe to rely altogether upon the testi
mony of the beneficiaries under u law ( ap
plause on the democratic side ) . Ho hud Indi
cated his belief respecting the proper func
tion of the tariff net and would sooner resign
his scut than depart ono hair's breadth from
that belief. Of course , ho respected the wis
dom of the committee , but why was 1'aul
favored and Peter turned down I .Why in
crease the profits of certain classes ! Ho
could name capitalists w.hoao profits exceeded
those of all the agriculturists in any state of
the union ( applause on the democratic side ) .
Mr. Buttcrworth thru proceeded to expound
bis views touching reciprocity with Canada.
He said wo were endeavoring to cult ! vale rela
tions with r > ! ) ,000.0ix ) people to the southwest ,
nnd yet were afraid of Canada. Abraham
Lincoln and U. S. Grant wore not suspected
of any hick of patriotism , yet they favored
reciprocity. There wore some things in the
bill ho did not like. Ho had known of an in
dustry that had been able to make ? GO,000,000
dividends on u capital of I-J.V,000. ) Protec
tion ! Why the country could in such cases
bctteratTordtokeepthe.se men in the Fifth
avenue hotel , pay their board and expenses
and set them up In the banking business , Ho
favored proper protection and these men hold
the world in their grip , The time had como
when some Httlo concern should be shown for
American homes and American firesides.
The great body of employes in this country
was foreign.
Mr. Buttei-worth did not bclicvo It wise or
prudent to make such n sweeping reduc
tion in sugar to bo supplanted by a bounty.
In conclusion Air. Buttcrvvorlh said that
the gentlemen wcro very much mistaken if
they thought that the greatest desire of his
heart was not to pass n bill reflecting in the
highest degree the protective system. What
ho wanted to avoid were such
bad feature * as ho bad jiointed out
in this bill. There was such
n thing as paying too much for an industry.
Such was the case with tin plate. The duty
would bo a tax on every farmer , on every
case of goods , That tax would amount to
$ . - > 0,000,000 before the manufacturers of tin
plate could declare a dividend. Ho was
anxious that his party should not make any
fnlso step.
After further debate MeMillln's amend
ment was rejected.
Mr. Niedriughaus moved to amend by re
ducing the duty on refined borax from 5 to 3
cents pei' pound.
Mr. O'Ferral read a list of what ho singled
out as excessive duties , laying stress on the
duty on rcady-mudo clothing , which he held
was In the interest ot Postmaster General
Wanamakcr. You tickle mo nnd I'll tickle
you ; you legislate in my favor and I'll put up
campaign funds that was the explanation
of many of these high duties.
Air. Niedringhaus' amendment was re
jected. Various other amendments were
offered , but were rejected , and after consider-
'ing thirteen of the 150 pages of the bill the
committee rose and the house adjourned.

CIIIOAOO , May 13. [ Special Telegram to
Tin : BKK.I The members of the Chicago
world's fair directory are again at war with
each other , and It is evident that it the cher
ished plan for holding the world's ' fair on the
lake front has to die It will die hard. There
are about four members of the commlttco on
grounds and buildings who want the fair on
the lake front. Two of the members favor
Fomo other location , and Chairman Cregier ,
the seventh committecman , is inclined ut
present to remain neutral. Potter Palmer ,
the big hotel man , is one of the moat earnest
advocates of the lake front. The Illinois
Ceiuail railroad interests are for the luke
front. AVhcn that proposed : ! (10 ( acres at the
bottom of the lake arc raised to the surface
by tilling in the ground will bo exceedingly
valuable. There would bo considerable liti
gation to decide upon the final ownership of
the new hind. The Illinois Central would bo
one of the litigants and in the end doubtless
the successful ono.
Stuyvesant Fish , president of the Illinois
Central and chairman of the committee on
transiiortution of the world's fair , has gene
to New York to consult , it is said , with east
ern stockholders ot ttio road concerning
the policy to bo pursued by the cor
poration in reference to the lake front.
Some of the largo hotel owners want the Me
on the lake front. They think that If it is
held anywhere else rival institutions will
spring up near the grounds and the down
town hotels will bo thereby injured. It is
argued , on the other baud , that If hotels are
built at Jackson park or any other site away
from the central portion of the city they
would have to bo abandoned when the fair is
over. ' But i f t hey are constructed down town
for world's ' fair purposes they will endeavor
to do business after the exposition is closed
nnd so bccomo permanent enterprises , to the
detriment of the established hotels.

A report will bo made to the committee on

will bo based upon the recent investigation

the sub-committee will bo uscti in favor of
the adoption of a federal election bill. It will

The case is to bo taken up in the house soon.
There is very little doubt Unit within three

A nn IUMINRI : > COSTI T.
There is going to bo a very determined con
test between the two houses over the de
pendent pension bill. The senate committee
on pensions today reported the house sub
stitute back with a unanimous recommenda
tion for n concurrence and n request that a
conference bo ordered. Both houses iU'0 de
termined in the positions they occupy. The
senate bill is the same ns that vetoed by
President Cleveland mid is purely a depend
ent bill , while the measure which wis : passed
bv the house as a substitute for the senate
bill is both a dependent and a universal bill.
It gives u pension of ? Jt a month to all de
pendent soldiers and sailors and their widows
and all are to bo placed on the pension
rolls when they arrive nt the ago
of sixty years whether disabled ,
dependent or ollicrwlse. The senate bill pro
vides n pension oT § I'J a month to dependent
Sioldicrs and their widows and gives $1 a
month to dependent children of soldiers while
under sixteen years of ago. It has no uni
versal provision whatever.
The senate committee is unanimously op
posed to giving a pension to any ono who is
neither disabled nor dependent. It believes
also that 8 a month is too small a pension for
any ono who is dependent upon his or her re
sources for n livelihood and suffers from dis
ability of any kind. The senate committee
believes that it is better to have no universal
roll and give a larger pension to these who
are really in need , and by n unanimous vote
today It was agreed thatthecommlttceshoijUl
not recede from this position and shall not ac
cept any of the provisions of the house bill.
It seems that the force of the arguments of
the Grand A'-my Service Pension Veterans
and other soldier and sailor associations has
been directed toward the house , which body
has been impressed with the necessity of a
universal bill , and it is acknowledged that if
there is to be a universal list of any size that
the amount of pensions cannot exceed SS per
month , while if there is no uniuei-dal
roll the revenues of the government will per
mit u dependent pension of ut - leasti'J n
" ' ' " * * " "
month. ' *
A member ot the senate committee who is
to act as one of the conferees said to your
correspondent this evening that there would
ho no compromise so far as the senate was
concerned and that the house would bo driven
to accept the senate bill. lie said that it
might not give as much satisfaction at the
outset , but that the country would soon corne
to understand that it was the most humane
and just bill that could bo adopted and he was
confident that th" house would finally yield
and the bill would become a law insiilo of a
month. It was reported today that there wiis
a secret understanding among the members
of the senate committee whereby if the house
refused to yield to the demands of the senate
the latter would consent to n compromise , but
the senator said there was positively no truth
in the statement and that the senate would
accept no compromise whatever.
The senator said that the feature of the
senate bill most highly cherished was the one
which giwo $ i" a month , instead of $ S , as pro
posed by the bouse ; that $3 a month would
fall short of furnishing any kind ot subsist
ence to a soldier or his widow , while $12
would enable the pensioner to live from this
allowance alone. The next principle held
most firmly by the senate is that no pension
of any dimension should bo given without
application , and that it is unjust to the needy ,
as well as extravagant , to insist upon giving
n pension wtiere It is not needed.

The Estimated Oos pJ ithe . .Service
- * ' - Pension1 to'tliil Ctfrnitiy.e
WASHINGTONMay13 [ , . Senator Davis , with
the unanimous concurrence of tbo other mem
bers of the senate pensions commlttco today
submitted a report rccohnneiiding that the
semite do not agree to Um amendments made
by the house to the senate dependent pension
'bill. The differences between the two bodies
are radical and the members of the senate
committee announce a determination not to
agree to the house bill under any condition.
The bill us it passed the senate was a de
pendent pension measure identical to that
vetoed bv Cleveland. The house amended
the bill by passing a substitute , the Mori-ill
bill , which is both u dependent unit service
pension bill.
It is the opinion of the senate committee
that it is the duty of the government before
entering upon any other senatorial legislatioiij
to provide for the needs of'the disabled and
dependent soldiers in the most liberal man
ner possible , The senate bill was framed
upon this theory. Tho'service pension is a
matter which should not bo involved with
the disability bill.
The estimates prepared by the adjutant
general's oftlco showed that the approximate
aggregate of the cost , of tbo service pension
bill , upon the basis of sixty-throe years as
the ago limit , will bo § | , lSSoa-iri'J.- , | . Upon
the basis of sixty years the cost will bo
* lii : lim,820. ) , Of this amount ? 1,0"V
017,021 must bo paid before tbo end of the
year 1015 and the average annual payment
would bo H , r > 'iVi : : . ' . These estimates are
materially greater than these of tbo house
committee , but the .senate committee adopted
them because they wcro based on valid rea
sons , and because experience had shown that
pension estimates heretofore had invariably
fallen below the estimated cost.
It is the committee's opinion that whenever
it is deemed wise to Inaugurate a system of
service pensions it should bo done for the
benefit of nil living soldiers who were honor
ably discharged and that the rate of the pen
sion should be graded according to length of

Ho Hail Been Wormed In 11
The aiurdorcr
Under Arrest.
BiiAiXAim , Neb. , May 13. [ Special Telegram
gram to Tin : Bii : . ] Dan Casey , a farmer liv
ing about two miles northwest of Brainard ,
Ghotnnd instantly killed Mrs. James Kiordan ,
wife of Ills nearest neighbor , this morning
about 0 o'clock. Casey and the Kloiitnn
family have had trouble for some time , Yes
terday they bad n light , in which Casey was
worsted. This morning Casey went to David
City on horseback and purchased n revolver
and n box of cartridges. On his way homo hemet
met Donald McGuire , to whom ho made the
statement that ho would settle accounts with
the Kiordan family today.
About ten mtnutos afterwards ho met Mrs.
Hlordan and son Morris going to David City
in n two-horse wagon. A short time before
be met the Hlordaus ho was seen by n farmer
to get off his horse and shoot several times nt
a telegraph pole. Ho did not get on his horse
again , but was leading him when he and the
lilordans met on the road.
Casojywithout warning , pulled his revolver
and shot two or three times , one shot enter
ing the left breast of Mrs. Kiordan , killing
her instantly. Morris Kiordan jumped out of
the wagon and Mrs. Kiordan fell out , their
team running away. In the meantime Casey's
horse got away from him and Casey started
after young Kiordan , evidently intending to
kill him. .but Kiordan wis too fleet of foot for
him and'left Casey fn the distance.
Young Kiordan ran home , a distance of two
miles , and notlJied bis father , who started
out with n double-barrelled shotgun to pro
tect his children.
McGulro , who lives at David City , bad by
this time arrested Casey and took his re
volver and cartridges away and drove him
rapidly to Brainard , delivering him over to an
olllcer. Deputy Sheriff Townscnd was tele
graphed for at David City and hurried over
to Brainard , where ho took Casey in charge.
Casey is a well-to-do farmer , about forty
years of ago. His aged mother , keeps house
for him , mid when your reporter called to see
her she know nothing of the tragedy. Mrs.
Kiordan is the mother of .seven children , all
living at homo except one. It was a sad sight
to see three little girls and husband fondling
and kissing their dead mother and wife as she
lay on the ground where she was murdered ,
awaiting the arrival of the coroner.
Casey bears u good reputation in Brainard ,
Ho told McUuiro after his arrest that ho
killed Mrs. Kiordan and intended to kill her ,
and that ho would kill the whole Kiordan
family. Casey was s'een by Tin : Bin : reporter ,
but said ho did not cure to say anything.
At the coroner's inquest Casey was taken
before the jury and asked if ho killed Mrs.
Kiordan , Ho replied that ho did and said
that lie shot her three times , twice before she
got out of the wagon and tbo third time in
the back of the head , and the revolver within
two feet of his victim's head , He-stated that
ho did n good job and was not sorry that ho
did it.
The jury will not hand in thcirvcrdictuntil
Friday.
Casey Ini'J bis preliminary trial this after
noon before County Judge Dean. Ho waived
examination and wasvheld'without bail. The
.shooting was done with a 33-callbreAineriean
bull dog icVolvor/purehased.ut the hardware
store of F. A. Snow this morning. The mur
der was premeditated and deliberate and tbo
outcome of on old quarrel between the
families.
The body of Mrs. Kiordan was taken to her
late residence this afternoon.
Public sentiment is in favor of letting the
law take its cOuwo , and there is no danger of
lynching.
PisnstrotiH I'ii-o lit Auburn.
AUIIUHX. Neb. , May 13. [ Special Tele
gram to Tin : Bin : . ] By far the worst fire in
the history of Auburn occurred this moniini !
between 1- and 1 o'clock. The flames orig
inated In the hallway of the upper story of
Lindscy's ' dry goods store. The population of
the city , including women and children , wcro
at the scene of the fire in an incredibly short
time , but with no waterworks the flames
could not be controlled so fur li's the business
houses on the south side of Central avenue
were concerned. Ten business houses burned
to the ground , as follows : .T. M. LIndsey , gen
eral dry goods store ; J. T. Swanhardware mid
groceries ; K. H.Dort , drugsMcKcnny ; Bros. ,
groceries ; D. Dickinson , groceries and con
fectioneries ; Herman Bros. , clothing ; J. II.
Bauer , harness ; J. E. Thomas , dry goods ; G.
W. Berlin & Co. , groceries and confectioner
ies , and Frank Fritch , clothing. The most of
them saved n great part of their stock by re
moving to ground on the north side of the
.street. The heat was so intense that hard
work was necessary to save the buildings on
the north side of the street. The windows
and largo pluto glass on that side were all
broken Into very small pieces.
The lire is supposed to have been of Incen
diary origin as there has been no tire used in
the Llndsoy building for a week or moro.
Loss , S.VUOO ) ; insurance , $20,000. So far as is
now known no one was hurt.
Fremont's Occupation Tax Again.
Fnn.MOST , Neb. , May 1 ! ! . [ Special to Tim
Bin : . ] Two or three members of the city
council nro kicking themselves all over town
today. The cause of it is their unwittingly
voting last night to do the very thing with
the much-mooted occupation tax ordinance
which they liavo been trying to keep from do
ing for several weeks. The legality of this
ordinance Is now before the supreme court
and its fate will soon bo known on the basis on
which it was appealed , but whatever the
action of that high tribunal may now bo the
council last night passed the measure beyond
tiny shadow of a doubt. It canio about in this
way : The city attorney bus been engaged for
some time revising the city ordinances for
publication in pamphlet form. They Imvo
been published as revised and last night they
came up for adoption us a whole. The rules
were suspended and the ordinance adopting
them was passed unanimously by the six
members present and the mayor Immediately
nfllxcd his signature. The occupation tax or
dinance was among the rest , and right there
is where the rub comes In , this ordinance
being passed unanimously by n majority of
the councilnicn elect. It was a plan these In
favor of the ordinance have had in view for
some time and it worked llko a charm , These
opposing the tax now feel that they are de
feated.

ern has already made largo Inroads Into the
traftlcof the Chicago lines , but no feiislblo
method of meeting the reduction has been
round without letting local rates go by the
board. The throimh business worn ! hardly bo
worth the sacrillee , and consideration of' the
matter was temporarily postponed. It wns
resolved that rate : * on llvo stock from points
west of the Mississippi bo made up on the .sum
of the locals via East St. Louis , subject to
Chicago rates as minimums. It was also de
cided that where the sum of the locals on
packing house product. * from Sioux City to
Texas points was less than the through rates ,
t'.io locals should bo used. The anomalous
condition of dressed boor rates as between
Kansas City and Omaha to the east was dis
cussed , and it was decided to reduce the
dressed beef rate from Omaha to the IS' ' o
rate in effect from Kansas City.
The Central Traflle association meeting
today was a warm one. The Lake Slioro was
prepared to give notice of reductions in the

settle the provision r.ito by a re-solution ad
dressed to the trunk lines and requesting
them to enforce the differentials decided on
