VASIIISOTOV , July Si. In the senate to
day Mr. Morgan Introduced a bill to fix the
limit of value and to provide for the free coin
age of silver and It was read .and referred to
thecominlttco 011 lliianco. The bill recites
thnt the market value of s'lver bullion is
rapidly npproacblng the vnluo of gold on the
8tnndarclrclatlon | llxedby Zho Invs of the
United States and that there is no provision
of law for the coinage of the standard silver
dollars , or the purchase of silver bullion by
the government when tha value of sliver bul
lion exceeded $1 for ; J7I.f grains oC pure sil
ver. It therefore provides that tlio unit or
vnluo in the United States shall bo SI of
41'JJf grains of standard silver , or2r S-10
grfilas of gold ; that those colas shall bo
legal tender for all debts public nnd private ,
nnd that the owner of silver or gold bullion
may deposit It in any mint to bo'formcd Into
dollars or burs for bis benefit nad without
charge.
The senate resumed consideration of the In
dian appropriation bill.
The amendment which provoked discussion
win ono Increasing the anproprlrtion of § 100-
000 for the support of Indian schools to ? I60-
000 , Including the construction of a school
building at Blnckfcet agency in Montana.
Mr. West opposed the amendment us the
introduction ot n system intended to Hbolish
denominational"education anioiiglndlans , Hu
spoke of a visit ho mndo to on Indian agency
Boven or eight years ago , and of bis observa
tion of the work of the Catholic church In
educating the Indians. A school building
whleh had been erected by the Cntliollc church
WHS .standing unoccupied lecaiiio the ncont
would not permit the Jesuits to teach
nny of the Indian children , 'J'lio Jesuits had
Biiecceded better than any othcrpeoplo. living
iu the education of the Indians. Whatever
prejudice ho might have against the society
of Jesuits , ho hud to say that much as un
educated-Protestant.
Mr. Unvis also opposed the amendment
ntidbpokoof the efforts of Catholic mission
aries nt the Blnekfcct agency , These good
people applied to ttioso iiliUunthropIo laillos ,
the Misses Droxcl of Philadelphia , nil d ob
tained saO-HOO , which they expended In a
Bchool building , recently completed. These
men wcro now to bo told not only thnt there
was to boil government school put on that
reservation In competition wltli them , but
that they were to liuvo no contract whatever
for the education of the Indians ,
us has been plainly implied in
tlio correspondence between tliocommisloner
of Indian affaire aud persons Iu authority in
the enterprise.
, - Mr. Vest explained his position to bai
That , If the Catholics wcro doing better hi
educating the In'dluns tlinu otlicidoiioinlnn
tlons ho v.'iis in favor of the Catholics ; und if
the Presbyterians or Baptists were doing
bettor , ho was in favor of them , But lie wiw
convinced the Catholics wcro far moro
ofllclcntnnioiij-f Indians tlmii uuy Protestant
denomination could Iu.No other denomina
tion could take their plnco because tlio In
dians , like all other people emerging from
barbarism , had received religious impressions
that wcro permanent. Ho did' not carp
whether it might bo called rcllgiou or super
stition. The Indiana were Catholics
nud would remain Cntliolics. Thcro
\vcro some tribes , however , which lind re
ceived from some peculiar personal Inllucnccs
a direction towards some particular Protes i-
tant denomination. ,
C Thodlsciisslon was contlnucdbyTellcrwho
also spoke of the Catholics ns the most suc
cessful educators of Indians , nud byMr. Jones
of Arkansas , who nave llgurcs to show the
great difference In expense * between govern
ment schools for Iiulluns nnd these carried
on by religious denominations , ! Iu ridiculed
the idea put forward by the commissioner of
Indian affairs as to the necessity of n high
education for Indian children ncd said It was
much moro important for them to learn how
to carry ou farms , build liouscs and raise
cattlo.
After further debate the amendment -was
agreed to.
The nnlcndment appropriating $ -25,000 for
the erection of an inuustiial Mchool near
Plandrenu , S. D. , was agreed to ; also n like
niiiouilineiit for an industrial school near
Man dan , N. D.
The next nmcndmenta wcro to strlko out
two Items , one of $8 , : ( U for Ibo support and
education of sixty Indian pupils nt St.

the amount for ISbif being $ ) r > U,000 , against
t'0-1,000 for schools of all oilier dunoinlna-
tlons , Thcro was a very cfllclont and urgent
and netivo Cuthollu bureau of missions In
Washington city wlilcli was very earnest In
pushing the Catholic Indian schools ou the
government. The Indian bureau having de
clined to enter into a contract for thrcn new
schools in Indiana , California and .Montana ,
tills mission bureau had gouo to till ) house
and obtained thu Insertion of the item ! ! . Tlio
sctialQ committee thought it would allow the
Item for California because it belonged to 10a
mission whleh had been at work in
southern California for 12o years.
If ho wished to discuss the Differ (
ences between Cathollo and other
schools lie would want no better object lesson
than the difference between the Mission
Indians In southern California and the ng-
presslvo Clioyonnea ami Arapahoes. The
Mission Indians hml been under the CO
ol UioCutlullo chuichli.'i yean , and re
todny as Incapable of self support ns so many
babies. The committee on appropriations
shrunk from doing imytlilnp that might
awaken religious discussion. Tliatwns why
the I'Omuilttco recommended tbu striking'out
the items for schools In Indiana and .Mon
tana. If they wow kept in tlio Episcopalians
and MetliodlMs nnd Baptists would say they
"had not been fairly treated.

real estate dealer of this city , wlio Is easily
worth $ i)0,000 , brought suit for divorce , ac
cusing his wlfo of IntUlclity with a music
lonelier. A sensation was created todny by
ttio publication of a reply to ttio charges
inado , by Mrs. Nelson and her nltornoys.
The couple were nuirrlcd In l ! > 3.'l anil within
n short time , Mrs. Nelson alleges , her hus
band began to treat her witb grcut bruUillty.
They linvo hod two children , much to Nel
son's dhgust , and ttio advent of each of the
babes lias been the signal for extremely cruel
treatment of the wife and mother. On many
occasions ho hrw beaten , kicked , choked and
knocked her down. "Ills charges against mo
nro terrible nnd will forever disgrace my
children , " wept the little woman.
7fel.son.hiis procured from Mr , Luetgo ,
music teacR'r of Mrs. Nelson's daughter1 by a
former husband , an aflldnvlt that bo ( Luctpo )
bus been criminally Intliimto with Mrs. Nel
son. That lady's attorney said today that bo
in turn hud secured a statement from Ijiietgo
that Nelson threatvncd his llfo If ho did not
make such an nftldavlt.
After frightening the poor fellow out of his
wits and compelling Idmtomuhothoanidavlt ,
Nelson presented him with n lot In his sub
division of Cnign ! township. This deed the
attorney has also cceured. It was further
learned that Mrs. Nelson , who Is highly rc-
spcetca in her homo at Washington Heights ,
luid actually been starved by the rich iiuin ,
who calls hiinaclf husband ,
"Iloloft mo with but 4 cent" nnd was gone
for two weeks , " said Mrs. Nelson , "and had
it not been for the charily of neighbors I
and my llttlo ones must have starved , The
only dress I tiavo Is the ono now on my back.
I know ho Is tired of mo now and wishes to
cast mo off because ho has found a prettier
woman. Ho has never allowed mo a servant ,
though I was sick , nnd Ihavo had to do the
cooking ami scrubbing until , In my delicate
health , It almost killed mo. "
Mrs. Nelson will ask for a divorce , the con
trol of her children and the support a. man of
Nelson's ' means -should provide for a wife.
The gentleman In question could not bo found
today. The wife's attorneys say they will
tnko up the matter of bribery of tbn music
teacher after the divorce case Is settled.

VICTOUU , B. a. , July ! M.-Special [ Tele

The American steamship George TV. Elder ,

Port TownsenU. She came to Esnulmault

It is somewhat remarkable that the score-
tnjy of stnto should bo almost universally
commended for his utterances to Lord Balls-
bury and Sir Julian I'auncofoto concerning
the Bchrlng sea matter. Vet this was the
situation at the capital today. The corre
spondence , or at least that portion of It
which appeared In the local papers , was very
generally read by members on both sides of
the chamber and scarcely a senator was to bo
found who had not scanned the reports of the
correspondence. Only a. few bitter partisans ,
who could not sco anything to commend in
anything a republican docs , had any words of
censure to offer. Ono of these was Judge
MeCrcary of Kentucky , a member of the
committee ou foreign affairs of the
houso. Ho thought that Mr. Blaine
had not exhibited the backbone which ,
was to have been expected from him. On the
other hand Senator Morgan of Alabama , a
member of the senate committee on foreign
relations , was ono of the very warmest In
praise of the manner in which Mr. Blnlno
has explained and maintained iho position as
sumed by the United States In the con
troversy , llo did not attempt to qualify his
praise , but characterizes the Ulalne letters ns
masterly documents which will always rank
as an\ong the very best of the stnto papers in
the American archives. Air. Blaine has
plainly convicted the British premier of
direct lying according to the views of the
Alabama senator , and tliero can bo no ques
tion that ho has by far the hotter of the
controversy. On the republican side there
was very general rejoicing over the position
of the United States. Every senator on tnat
side of the chamber , without n single ex
ception , says that the correspondence Is con
vincing proof that the position assumed by
this government is the correct one , ana the
democrats to a man admit this. Ko ono fears
for a moment that the outcome will
bo anything but n friendly settlement
but It will probably require some time before
the cud will bo reached. It Is assumed ns a
matter of course that In spite of the fact that
there has been a temporary suspension of
negotiations the diplomatic representative of
England and Air. Blaine will again try to
.bring about a settlement of the controversy
without , tlio Intervention of outside parties ,
but It will surprise no ono If Ibo suggestion of
arbitration of International differences be-
twee'n nations on the American continent
made in tlio Pan-American congress shall flrst
bo put into effect between the greatest ropub-
Ic ou the onrth and the greatest commercial I
nation of the world.

LoxiioN' , July 21. [ New York Herald
Cable-Special ; to TUB Bee 1 A deputation
of members of parliament nnd others inter
ested In Mr. Pllmsoll's bill for the restric
tion of deck loading , and' the provision of
water tight bulkheads , waited on the first
lord of the treasury In his private room nt
the house of commons this evening , to urge
upon the government the desirability of pass
ing the measure Into n law before the close of
the ! present session.
Sir 31. Hicks Beach wa present with Mr.
Smith during the Interview. Mr. Pllmsoll
Introduced the deputation and explained IU
object. Ho dwelt on the cruelties which wcro
inflicted on cattle owing to the manner In
which they wcro packed on board ships.
Among other things Mr. 1'llmsell said :
"Clause ! ) prohibits the Importation of llvo
cattle for food from ports situated west 12 °
west longitude. I will not trouble you with
my reasons in support of this , as I'havo been
nt great pnlus to stnto them In n small
pamphlet which has been Issued to every
member of the houso. It is alleged that It
would make meat dearer to the working
classes this I entirely deny.
"Merchants In trade muit bo presumed to
know whole their profits como from. They
bring1 cattle over nllvo In order to obtain
higher prices per pound for H than If It were
Imported as dead meat. How It Is possible
thnt legislation which would prevent them
getting this higher price' can make meat
dearer to these who buy It of them , Is not
easy to sco. It Is also stated that non-Ini ;
portation of offal heads , life , etc. , would dc-
prlvo the poor of wholesome and cheap food.
My answer Is that thcro fe nothing to pre
vent the Importation of heads nnd offal in the
cold chamber on board ship , as beef itself is
imported.
Mr. W. H. Smith , In rcp * < yi said : "Gentle
men , I thiiik that most of you are nwaro of
the fact that my place is In the house of com
mons , ana not In this room , and therefore , al
though 1 wish to receive you with every
courtesy , I shall not bo able to stay any great
length of time.
"I regard , nnd the government regards , the
question -which Mr. Pllmsoll brought under
ournotlco as an extremely. Important one , but
on that very account wo cannot undertake to
force a measure of this sort through the
house at the end of the session without very
grave consideration. If a mistake is made It
will bo very serious to the country , serious to
people interested in the shipping Interest and
serious to these in the particular trades re
ferred to. It will bo serious Indeed to all
parties concerned , nnd therefore hasty legls-
lation on this question "Is very much to be
deprecated.
"Thero Is , I believe , at this moment a com
mittee sitting with regard to bulkheads of
ships , taking evidence and making very care
ful Inquiry on that point , r.nd at all events wo
ought to watt until wo nave the results of
that careful Investigation before us. In re
gard to deck loading , I. 4pposo few would
doubt that If sufficient re illations do not ex
ist they ought to bo pvided , but when
Mr , Pllmsoll comes to uV'with the exclusion
of live cattle nltoget * > r. from America
nnd Canada , bo IntrodU'l. ' i question which
docs require very.earqfVt\n9ldcratlon.

. . of the lnl oivV H -
affect the price ol food , lo the people of this
country well'it , is possible that his argu
ment may bo received by some persons with
acceptance , but prlma facie , certainly n
diminution of tha supply of live cattle for the
people of this country would appear to have
nn effect. Ho says it would not have any
how , It must bo felt. It would not bo the
duty of the government to take up a measure
of this kind at thaend of thesession and pass
it In a few days. Mr. Plimsoll thinks it
would pass In thrco hours. "
Sir Michael Hicks Beach said : "Although
I think it impossible for Mr. Smith to give
any other answer , I yet think the matter
will not need to stop. The loss of animal 1
life on some of these trans-Atlantto ships is
horrible. [ Loud cheers. ] 1 have a list of

LITTLE j GAME OF FREEZE OUT
Interesting Historj of the Qtcat Stockyards
Syndicate ,
THE ENGLISH GOT WHAT WAS LEFT ,
Overtures Miulo Tor ( ho 1'iiroliaNo of
South Oinali I'M Stockyards ,
but Slio Kicks in tlio
Traces.
Ciiicnao , July 21. [ Special Telegram to
Tin : HKI : . ] An Interesting story Is mndo
public today of the history of the great stock
yards syndicate , which , according to the
latest Information , is now preparing- absorb
serb all abattoirs of any conscqucnco in the
western country.
It seems that several month * ngo Leo
Hlgglnson & Co. of Boston , who nro nnd
have been financial agents for n number of
rich Englishmen , conceived the idea which
has resulted in the present deal. They
gathered the men whoso money controlled
the old Chicago stockyards corporation uud
arranged for a transferor the stock.
They then manipulated the stoeic In their
hands of the various stockyards Interests and
ilftured to Include hi the transfer to the Eng
lishmen. The I3ostoii-Chlcugo holders found
what was going on and set so high a price
upon their holdings In tlio old Chicago stocu-
ynrtlD corporation that after much figuring
the Englishmen concluded they would bo unable -
able to handle both outlying yards and these
in this city and the negotiations
languished until the brokers pro
posed the deal in all its gigantic
proportions to the Boston holders of Chicago
stock.
The rest of the scheme wris only a question
of time. Already Lee. Higglnson had ad
vanced the deal with outlyim ; stockyard cor
porations for the English. It was an easy
thing to transfer the options to the Ameri
cans , Seeing that they had dropped n peed
thing the English combination undertook
again to como In on the ground floor.
They wcro too Into nnd the deal wen ton
without them. An amicable adjustment of
all differences was reached by combining
the rival American syndicates. As n shrewd
business proposition the English wcro led to
believe they wcro "in it. " A rule was made
regarding the subscriptions of stock that
these who subscribed ilrst should bo con
sidered first.
Therefore , ns soon ns the books were opened
the Boston brokers put down their names for
$3,000,000 , giving their clients n controlling
Interest nnd leaving the remainder to bo
fought for by these outsldo of the Bos
ton circle. London took nearly $0,000-
000 today after the books wcro
opened , but hours before the Americans had
tnkcn ' $10,500.000 , so thnt the belated English
got only what was loft.
During all this time Leo lllpginson kept
buying for the new syndicate nud the wires
from every point where there was a stockyard
kept up the announcement that "lociil
brokers" wcro" purchasing "for an English
syndicate. " Among the first deals of this
kind to bo made were for the stockyards at
St. Joseph , Mo. , made through the Jarvis-
Conkling mortgage company of Kansas
City ; those nt St. Louis , transacted through
tho'presldent , John B. IJutchera : these atSt.
Paul , negotiated by A. B. Stieknoy , and
smaller yards at Iowa City.
The Jarvis-Conkllng company had orders
to buy the Kansas City , Knn. , yards , and the
South Omaha yards , but both of these con
cerns \ycro refractory nnd have not as yet
been brought uuder tuo 'lullucnco. " None
df these transfers Jiave-'i been made public foe
"the reason thiit the purchase oC thuso''inter
ests will have to bo ordered by the
directory of the now syndicate , nnd this
cannot bo done till there is an
election of ofllcers , which will bo held In a
short time.
Then the transfers will bo inado to the big
body and the work of monopolizing the live
stock industry will bo religiously begun , with
none to say them nay. The legal agents of
the deal will not talk upon the subject.

Newspaper Criticism on Diplomatic
Corrcspondcnc'1.
Tonoxio , Out , , July 24. [ Special Telo-
gmm to Tin : BEI : . ] The Empire , the chief
government today "Tho diplomatic
e organ , says :
plomatic correspondence on the Behrlng sen
question , published todny , will bo read with
interest , though it really contains little that
Is new or that might not have been antici
pated at least la the main outlines. That
Lord Salisbury staunchly maintained the
right of British subjects , Including Canadians ,
U proved beyond question.
' Secretary Blalno's course ia not surprls-
g. Ills contentions craftly avoid the main
point , that the seizures were contrary to in
ternational law , being outsldo territorial
waters and United States Jurisdiction. All
his legends about liusslan rights acquired ,
his complaints of Injury done to United
States Interests and his claim to insist upon
the preservation of seals , oven if
inaccurate , would boquito outsldo the mark ;
for no amount of wrong-doing or loss would
justify Interference outside the Jurisdiction.
"Ho might aa well assume to send his police > -
lice to Toronto to make arrests and seizures
because some citizen of the United States had
been robbed. But all this has been the
United States policy. The cessation of these
high-handed outrages Is not duo to any
neighborly feeling of fair play or any respect
for law and the rights of others , but to the
recognition of the fact that the end of British
patience and forebearanco nad been reached. D

The Committee on Organization Con
siders the Question.
NewYoitK , July 21. The committee on
permanent organization of the national
world's fair commission went Into executive
session this morning and continued in
secret session until Into this nttcrnoon.
The commlttco concluded its work this af-
tcrnoon and loft for Washington ,
In an Interview Commissioner McKenzie
said the committee hud been profoundly im
pressed with the views of General Goshorn
and Governor McCormlek , th latwr gentle
man having been director of the American
exhibit iu I'aris In 1878. Commissioner Me-
Ivenzlo said tire committee was par
ticular to get views upon the best
policy looking toward a concentration of
power for the best management of the under
taking , Although no conclusion was reached ,
yet it Is probable a director general will bo )
appointed to have en tire control in all mat
ters this subject , however , to continuation
by the executive committee. One difficulty
that mlL'ht arise would bo friction between
load und national committees. Much would
bo conceded to the local committee , but the
national committee proposed to rotaln power
enough to make thu fair a national one.
General Gosliorn und Governor McCormlek
are to formulate their views in writing. The
report of this committee will bo presented to
the full national committee In September.
