Thcro was warm blood In the house again
today. It-was notns ercltlng us it was yes-
toniay , yet for a time very Interesting. The
difficulty was simply an , echo of the series of
wordy collisions yestord.iy , a lilnd of after
math , which was probably necessary before
the dead calm or n dull season could bo
reached after the high" pitch of uorvousox-
cltcinent which characterized the pro
ceedings of twenty-four hours before.
The trouble was precipitated by some
cutting insinuations by various members ou
both sides of tlio hall in making statements
under a question of personal privilege. It
iv-as started by Mr. Mason of Chicago , who
led the lighting against the lanl bill. Imme
diately alter the latter was llnally adopted ,
about 1 o'clock this afternoon , Mr. Mason
stated tha.t ho had no apologies to inako for
lih action yesterday in leaving the hall
of the hoiiNO a number of times in
order to break a quorum. Ho would
not liavo resorted to such me.isurcs to
defe.it the bill hail It not been that the
propeity of his constituents wnt to bo conlls-
cateil aii > l ruined -without a trial by jury or
othenvlso. Ho said ho promedltatedly disap-
Ce.ired from tlio vision of the speaker to
rcnlt a quorum , mid that lie would do it
ugain repeatedly under tbo sntno conditions.
IIo thought the Interests of his constituents
Justified the means. IIo brought laughter
from thfl democratic side by saying that the
iron rules of tlio republicans proved bitter
modklno , when applied to themselves , but
that since ho had beoti compelled
to toke It ho had no complaint
to nmltc. Mr , Mason then declared
the bill which has lust passed , lovj Ing a tax
upoa compound lard , had been rushed
through the committee on agriculture with
out an opportunity havingbpen afforded him
or other persons interested in it to bo heard.
The bill passed was not tlio Conger bill , bo
tald.
tald.Ttm
Ttm brought Chairman Punston to his feet ,
nnd the six-foot-four of Kansas flesh fairly
nuivcreil with passion as ho exclaimed in
thunder tones : "It the gentleman sajs ho
was not pivcn a chance to bo heard on
tholard bill bo utters a falsehood. " Ono
could have heard tha. exclamation almost
over in the senate end of the capital , and it
brought half of the members nnd nearly
every oao in the galleiles to their fcut. In an
instant thcro was a great furore. Mr.
Cheaitle of Indiana jumped up and demanded
that the words of Mr. Fanttonbo takenuo\a
and reported to the house , as they were indecorous -
cereus and unparliamentary. He said that
the proceedings of tlio past twenty-four hours
were disgraceful ; that tlicro must bu on end
to such scones , and the boonor the end w.is
reached the hotter It would ho for the house.
Within two minutes about a dozen mem
bers on cither sldo were clamcrln c for recog
nition from the chair , and the dm wis al
most drafeaing. The speaker was unable to
niaintal n oider. When finally quiet was ro-
slotide. . democrat of oxcltablo Inclina
tions , got up and demanded that
the request of Mr. Cheadio bo enforced and
that the words of the Kansas member be
takea down. "I demand , " exclaimed Mr.
Enloo , sawing the air with his arms , "that
the words bo taken down , " nnd ho emphasized
his remarks with stentorian tones. Like a
flash Mr. Funston came to his feet , and point
ing Ids long arm in the dhuctlon of the Ten-
ncsseean. exclaimed. : "I am glad to liavo my
words taken down and If the gentleman from
Tennessee * docs not sit down I will take him
down , too. " This made a pretty licttloof
Ilsli. Everything was in an uproar. The
speaker lor several minutes stood on
his feet nnd pounded vigorously with
his gravel , exclaiming in loud tones
that there would be no proceedings
till the house was in order. Mr. Mason had
meanwhile taken his scat , and when order
was again , restored ho ajjnla claimed the
lloor , but , Mr. funston contended that the
gentleman from Chicago had yielded the
lloor and ho would not permit him to sncalc
unless ho ( Mr. runston ) was allowed to
iinikosm explanation. Thcro was llnally a
compromise , bv which tlio words of Mr.
Funston were taken down and read , and
wcro allowed to stand without cilticlsm ,
after which ho made an , explanation , but the
explanation proved to bo no more satis
factory thun his llrst assertion , for ho explained -
plained that he did not intend to say that Mr.
Mason had uttered a falsahool unless ho hold
that ho hud not been given a clmnco to
bo heard in the committee on agriculture.
"I prefaced my assertion , " exclaimed
Mr , runston. "with the preposition 'if' "
over which the house ioarcd with laughter
and for awhile good humor prevailed ,
Mr. Masom and others implored the demo
cratic sldo to ccasa time killing , as the min
utes which were being wasted came out of
the time which had been set asldo for tbo
labor bill. This measure was then taken up
and the house resumed Its former dullness.

NEW Yoiur , August 33. [ Special Telegram
to Tins Bun , ] A Itusslani Alexander Kwiat-
kowski , arrived hero on Jlonday nnd brought
with him the first account of the horrlblo
Tlumen tragedy , which occurred several
weeks ago. Ho had gained his news aln.ost
at first hand from a relative of ono of the
victims , a beautiful young girl , the Princess
Eleno Oginskl , eighteen years of ugo. From
Prlnco Adam O lnstl M. ICwlatkowsltl
learned the following details :
The story begins with exiles , a hundred in
number , who loft Ekatormburg about the
end of May. They lin.1 boon transported
\\ith a steamer load of exiles , political nnd
criminal , from Novgorod to Perm , | livlng
in iron cajrcs on the dcf f-and were thun sent
by railroad across the u ljmountains twelve
hours Journey to Kkatcrmburg , whore the
real horrors of the SibBrLm journey begun.
From that point tbo exile * ' had to go on foot
all the -way to Tinmen , n * distance of nonily
llvo hundred miles , where a" c io steamer
would bo in readiness to transport them via
the Jcnisoi and the Obi loToiask , whcro an
other thousand miles wojUfl hnvo to bo trod
den fiy Iho'-weary oxlloa uuilT Irktitslr-vas
reached.
The heat during the dny was Intense , and
for fifteen days the exiles wcro compelled to
walk under the burning sun along roads half
a foot deep in dust. Fro in letters received by
Prince Adam the sufferings of the frail , beau
tiful Princess Elena were Intense , arousing
oven the sympathy of the Cossack guards at
timos. She was the youngest of the croup of
exiles , but much as slio suffered , herself sbo
was never heard to complain. All her com
panions were in a similar pltiablo condition of
exhaustion from the dreary Journey. Their
feet wcio swollen to such an extent that some
of them sat down by the roadside and de
clared it wns utterly impossible for thorn to
inovo another step , and asked permission to
ride in the wagons that ahvays accompanyan
escort of exiles for tba purpose of trunspott-
iii ! , ' the sick and the women unable to walk.
They appealed to the guard in vain , however ,
for ns answer they veni cruelly beaten by
tbo soldiers with tno stocks of their guns and
ordered to got up and imirou. on.
But at last , when within only a few sta
tions of Tiuniena , small bandof exiles , driven
to desperation , turned fiercely upon their
guard and began to fight for tlielr freedom.
But it was a very unequal fight , for the sol
diers , who made the journey with loaded
rifles , Immediately bctranHriup ou tlio crowd
The result wna horrify ing. The first vic
tim was the beautiful young princess herself
Her head was pierced by a , bullet and she fell
dead without uttering a word. Still the sol
diers kept up the firing , and out of the stnal
band of a hundred political exiled who lef
Ekatermburg twenty wore shot dcM am
twelve were wounded. As nearly all the ex
iles la the group participated in. the "robol
lion" to a greater or less degree , it Is fearoc
that the remainder will bo severely punished
if not banged. ,
The case of the Princess Oginskl lias been
followed with deep Interest in tbo Hussiai
colonies in Geneva , Paris , London and hero
She belonged to an old nid honorable family
several members of which spend the winter
season In St. Petersburg/ How she came into
trouble originally Is not dearly known. She
was probably connected In some way with so
cieties in St. Petcrsour lor tbo bringing
about of political reforms.
