A frank open countenance , sot off by largo blue eyes and a heavy blonde mustache is that of the lieutenant. It is his opinion that the Indians , whom bo left only a few days ago , will cause no further trouble , If the government will but keep faith with them. "Will the government do thnti" wns asked. Lieutenant Taylor smiled and pulled his heavy mustache. "Lot us Ijopo so , " ho said. "But if it docs. it will break the record. Thcro Is really no reason why It should not keep fulth with tbo ttidlnus. By doing so and tiy retaining the coders at Fort Shorldan , thcro is no posstblo ikcllhood of another outbreak In the spring , ispoclally as General Miles has disarmed nboutlialf of them. " "Do you think the loaders will object to remaining at Fort Sheridan I" 'No. ' I was out thcro yesterday and they all seemed contented , nnd as they went thuro f their own free will , they will doubtlqss bo contented to pnhin. " Lieutenant Taylor echoes the opinion that , ho Indians would fp.ro much better wcro they put in charge of the war department. 'And the Indians know it , too , " ho con tinued. "Politicians usually are on the nuko. and it is not surprising that the In dians suffer. Those who are not on the make , but who are conscientious in discharge of tholr duties , are Ignorant of the needs of the Indians wben they are installed in ofllce , and just as they begin to get acquainted their terms expire and some moro ignorant indi viduals take their places. " COI.OKEI , rousvTnr.'s ' CASE. 'The outcome of the trouble into which Colonel Forsytho of the army unfortunately got , will , the olllcers of his regiment believe , terminate- favorably for him. " So said Llea- tcnnnt E. P. Brewer , a member of tto colonel's rcehncnt , nt the Lcland hotel this morning. "Just how tno final disposition will bo reached , or when , " ho added. "I can not say. "Wo are all in the dark about it. Humors are flying around , and according ; to them the colonel is going to experience pretty much everything from abject martyrdom to resplendent glory. But nothing definite Is known now. save the existence of a belief that tbo affair will have a termination favora ble to Colonel Forsytho. " POISONED ] 1T EATING OYSTEU3. Mrs. Samuel A. Sheffor , a dressmaker of 3850 State street , and her cousin , Mrs. John Thompson of Belle Plalno , In. , have not yet recovered from the effects of the oolsonous oysters which they nto at noon yos'torday at n prominent restaurant. In fact , Mrs. Snof- fer Is far from recovery and it is feared she may ale. Mrs. Shorter bqcamo ill almost.lm- mediately. Sho'was hurried to n doctor's ofllco , where a strong omctlo relieved her of much of the poison. Mrs. Thompson had n violent fit of vomitingv also , and similar treatment was accorded her. Becoming : alarmed lest her condition might" become morosorlous , Mrs. Thompson induced her husband to take her homo and they loft for Belle Plaino last night. During the night Mrs. Sheffor experienced severe pains and a neighboring physician wus callccU , The physlciiu found it a most dangerous form ot poisoning1 , and one extremely difllcultof euro. One of the attending physicians said : "De composition had fairly advanced nnd the presence of ptomalns was strongly apparent. I think possibly the very open winter may have had something' to do with the deterior ation of oysters , or they may have been packed in contact with copper or other metals. It is my advlco that people should bo very careful In regard to eating ovsters , as cookitjg in any form has no effect on ptomalns. The presence of thcso in the sys tem is very baffling to the medical profession , Once introduced they are apt to remain , and even after the patient is resting easily after the first attack and in fact seems quite well , the deadly effect recurs and death ensues. " TAKEN UP I1V THE C1TT. The campaign of reform which has been In augurated against Baron Yorkos' street car system promises to bo a very thorough ono. It Includes the protection of horses , the heatIng - Ing of cars , and now tha VVestsldors have in augurated n crusade against the haughty conductor and the contumacious gripman. The city law department has taken the matter in band and bases its coso on the recent supreme court decision Which states that a corporation holding encasement casement from the people to bo used for their boiiollt is bound to conduct that business in a reasonable and cncrgctlo manner , and also upon the ortranic law of the United States , which says that any corporation OB company organized to operate a plant for the use of people ot any city , town or village , wherein such plant exists , shall stata in the contract made with the city that it will conduct such plant in a satisfactory manner. Said ono of the attorneys , for tno city : ' 'Should it bo proved thnt tha public can oxcrrlso some au thority over the corporation before alluded to In the way of compelling satisfactory ser vice , wo shall immediately take steps to protect our wives and children from corporation employers who have not even the Instincts of politeness , and wo shall try to compel Mr. Yerkes to discharge the obnoxious employes and till tbelr places with operatives who can show some respect to the patrons of the road. An action will bo com menced Monday and It Is expected that some decision will bo rendered shortly thereafter. " AXOT1IKU 8KT SCItAlMIll. A permit was taken out today for another architectural flant.

In the house Mr. McIClnluy itslccd utmntmous consent for tbo present consideration of tbo bill providing that nothing In the tariff net stmll bo held to repeal or Impair tlio reciprocity treaty with the Hlnwallim Islands. Tbo speaker laid before the house the sen- nto bill amending the laud forfeiture ) net of September ! i9 , 1SUO. It wivs passed with verbal amendments. The scnnto bill wns passed referrlnp to the court of claims the claim of the mlmin- Istratrlx of George W. Lawrence , growing out of the cunstrucilon of thu vessels Agowan nnd Pontunslo in 1802. Tbo committee on postoOlces and postroails roportca the postoBlco appropriation bill , nnd It wus placed on the calendar. Tlio house then went Into committee of the whole ( Pny.son of Illinois In the chair ) on the sundry civil appropriation bill. The pending question was the decision of the chair upon tno point of order raised by Mr. Dlgloy against Blond's frco colnngo amendment. Thcro was no debito : and thospoakor immedi ately delivered his decision sustaining the point of order. Mr. Bland appealed from tbo decision , hut the vhalr was sustained. The committee then recurred to the world's fair paragraph , to which Mr. Candler of Massachusetts , proposes though It has not yet been formally offered , n lengthy substi tute in a line with the report of his special committee. It Instructs the secretary of the treasury not to approve the payment of any expenses attendant upon the incotiiiK of the national commission or board of lady man agers except such meetings as may bo culled nt tbo tlmo of tlio dedication and opening ot the Iiilr , nor any meetings of the executive committees of cither bodies hold oftcnur than once In six months , nor any annual salary in excess of So.OOO for the president and t,000 for tbo secretary of onch body , and $ -1,000 for vlco chairman of the executive committee of the national commission , nor to approve the payment of any expenses of the com mission or lady managers other than those mentioned , which slmll amount to more than $10.000 per annum In thu aggregate. Mr. Flower of Now York , speaking to the amendment , said the dostro of the committee was to make the country understand that tbo committee was in favor of economy In the governmental expenditures connected with the fair. Mr. Wilson of West Virginia questioned the ofllclency of tno national commission in the expenditure of government money and criticized the salaries paid to ofllcials. The total amount of the ( salary list , ho said , was S08.5JO , and under the nutho'rity given the commission to increase the number of ap pointees at the fair , tbo salaries would swell the government appropriation. Mr. Broekenrldgo of Kentucky defended the action of the appropriations committee. It was the duty of congress to inako the fair a success not a failure , and ho , as a member of the appropriations committee , had felt it his duty to concur in the recommendation of the appropriations which bud been mmlo. Mr. Vaux of Pennsylvania made a consti tutional argument In opposition , to. the .pro visions of-tno bUl ? w " < < W i Mr. Tavlor of Illbiols said that what Chicago cage wished was to bo let alone. The speeches In opposition to the bill mudo six months ago might liavo stated the facts , they did not state the facts today. Tills was not 'n Chicago fair ; it was an international fair. It would bo a disgrace to the nation , after in viting foreigners to corno to tliu exposition , to turn them over to the local board. The government should stand hylts act. Mr. Adams of Illinois said the question in volved was more than a question of salaries. It involved the character of tbo exposition , because It involved the relation to the exposi tion of the national commission appointed for its control. Mr. Muson of Illinois referred to the fact that the Candler amendment was not yet formally offered , and save notice that ho would make a point of order against it when offered ; that It was in violation of the stat utes of the United States. Mr. Butterworth of Ohio , in opposition to the substitute , said the United States \vas committed to certain things In the matter , through what Instrumentality tlio faith of the country was pledged. The fair would re sult tn advantage to Chicago , but it would also result In the glory of this republic. The centennial exposition hud been of tbo'great est boiiollt to tbo country. Mr. Colemnn of Louisiana said the centennial had done more for the industries of the south than auy action taken by congress for years post. Mr. Buttonvortb appealed to that gentle man whether Chicago bed not fultlllodallahe had promised and whether they had not mot every requirement. Chicago baa raised $11- 000,000. This was a United States enter * prise. Had Chicago been liberal , or notl Was she to bo censured because eho dpomcd it proper to pay a director-general out of the national treasury ? Chicago had done well. There was not an example of tbo kind in history where a city hah done as much for the nation and ho asked for Chicago fair treatment. Replying to Mr. Wlson's stricture upon the board of lady managers Mr. Iliitterwortn created much applause by gallant nlluaions to the women of the world. Ho proceeded to argue in support of the salaries provided by the bill and warmly supported their re tention. The world wns looking on to sco whether the fair could bo carried on 1,000 miles from the seaboard. There ought to bo a national pride in this matter. Ho wished to say to the house that the people of Chicago and of the state of Illinois bad put their ? ! - . - 000,000 or fin.OOO.OOO to the nation's enter prise and thereby rendered the nation great service. Mr. Candler then offered his amendment formally and against it Mr. Mason raised his point of order. Pending decision ' cision the committee rose nnd th'o house took a recess , the evening session to bo for private- pension bills. The Sonata. WASHINGTON , Fob. 0.

The naval appropriation bill was reported with sundry amendments and Mr. Hale gave notice that ho would ask tbo senate to tauo it up tomorrow. Mr. Huwloy offered a resolution which was agreed to. calling on the president for the correspondence in reference to the conduct of the senior naval ofllcor present on the occasion of the arrest and killing of General Bnrruudla and the action of tbo navy depart ment , Mr , Morgan addressed the scnnto In sup port of u bill reported from the committee- foreign affairs relative to aid in tbo construc tion of the Nicaragua maritime canal. At tbo conclusion of Mr. Morgan's speech the sonnto resumed consideration of the house eight-hour bill and was addressed , by Mr. Morrlll in opposition to it. Mr. Stewart artruod in favor of the bill. Tbo amendment reported from tbo commlt- tco on education and labor wus read. It strikes out of the house bill a proviso where- over the court of claims shall find that the work or service was performed under any contract , express or implied , and the work man had been paid therefor tbo amount agreed upon. Mr , Sherman said hi : would vote for the bill as it passed tbo houso. Ho considered it uu excellent bill , recognizing as it did the general prlyciplo that eight hours were a fait day's work , hut not denying the right of the men to work more hours If they chose , and tc make contracts. Mr , Vest moved to amend by Inserting the words "without duress or coercion of any sort by nny officer of the government" hi the proposed amendment and suggested the substitution of the words "undue Influence. " Mr. Teller snoko In favor of the principle of the bill and opposed Mr. Vest's amend ment. . The bill having boon laid aside Informnlly , Mr , ICdmunds offered an order that after this week the senate shnlldally take n recess from ( ( to 8 p. in.

Mr. Ingalls Inquired whether nny estimate was tnnuo of the amount Involved In the bill. Mr. Coekrell said the estimate made by n distinguished member of the house RI\VO the amount as $ ) ,000,000. Mr. Vest said Mr. Merrill had given his estimate ns ? 8.000,000 nnd Sec retary Whitney had stated thnt for the navy department alone the amount would bo ? ! I,0X,000. ( ) Mr. Reagan complained that , the scnnto wns absolutely without information ns to the amount Involved in the hill The senate was uskod to pass nn act blindly , without oven an attempt having been niado to ascertain what the liabilities of the government would ho under it. Mr. Ingnlls characterized the bill as a paltry , quibbling evasion of the real questions nt issue. IJy unanimous consent Mr. Blair withdrew the committee amendment nnd offered n , substitute for the house bill the one passed by the senate last congress. It directs payment of a day's pay for every eight hours' work of govern ment employes since the eight-hour law was enacted. Tlio court of claims is to ndjust tbo claims on that Oasis , Mr. Dawos moved a substitute for thnt of fered by Mr. Blair.

[ Special Cablegram to Tun BEE. ] A jury In the probate court has set aside a will in which the testatrix , Miss Sarah Hampson , a maiden lady who died a few months ago within few days of her eightieth birth- flay , loft her entire fortune , aggregating over iOTi.OOO to the Benedictine order. From the evidence offered it was developed that thu old lady , who at one tlmo traveled exten sively in tlio United States and stayed several months at ono time in Now York , resided next door to the convent of St. Paul in Liver pool , and in that way became acquainted with the nuns. Ono night about ulna years ago , two masons employed for the purpose toro down n portion of the wall of ono of the rooms of the convent connecting with the residence next door , nnd boldly corrlcd the old lady into the Institution. There she was keut to all in tents nnd purposes a prisoner until released last year by death. Justice Brett , who presided over the trial , Which has occu pied n week , impressed upon the jury that the verdict against the will would bo n strong condemnation of Mother Bernard , buperlorcss of the Order of St. Paul and Sister Co- lombn , head of the convent , nnd biM that painful as it might bo , they could not come to a conclusion against tha will without con victing these ladies of Immoral and improper conduct in getting the will executed under improper influence and then appearing In the witness box to suDiwt It by evidence that was not truo. The Jury , how ever , after a deliberation of n lltt.o more than ono hour returned a verdict that the will was executed when the old lady was of unsound mlml ; that It wns piocnrcd by undue influence , nnd that she did not approve of its contents. The court thereupon ruled that the estate should go to the surviving relatives , some of whom reside in the United States. % Italy's Crisis More Scrlnim. HOME , Fob. 0.

In appearance tbe attendance would hnvo done credit to the metropolis of the country. n its demeanor nnd expectancy It evinced in he highest degree a high appreciation of the occasion which had caused It to assemble. Nobody pushed or crushed , or In nny manner undo it unpleasant for his neighbor. Nobody spoke nbovo n whisper. Nobody laughed and nobody heard tha dreary , monotonous nnd disgusting political small-talk which generally chnractorl/es such occasions. In a word * it was a remnrlmblo assemblage which did honor to both tno occasion and the gcn- .lemau who figured as the central and most mportnnt porsonngo in it. Among those prominent In their respective irofesslons as in other ways were : Dr. Dunu of Lincoln , Dr. Bear , Boyd's ' "lieutenant governor , " of Norfolk ; D. Olnoy , Norfolk ; J. K.

JThoro were absent several of the independent lead ers , but some of these who , it wus thought , would not bo present , occupied their seats. Tlio president declared that a majority of both houses was present nnd ordered the reading of Mr. Bcrtrand's motion ns follows : "I move thnt a committee of two from the house and ono from the senate be npulnted to wait upon his excellency , Governor James E.

" Senator Switzlcr seconded tbo motion , which prevailed. Tno president appointed ns the committee Sonntor Switzlor of Douglas und Representa tives Gale and White. The committee retired nnd in a few minutes returned. On Senator Swltzler's nrm hung the governor , his kindly , Intelligent mid handsome features giving expression to the fcellntr both of duty and satisfaction which seemed to nn inline Dim. Following the governor came the other members of the committee nnd the executlvo ofliccrs as follows : Treasurer Hill , Auditor Bcnton. Secretary of State Allen , Attorney Cionoral Hastings and Humphrey , commis sioner of public lands and buildings. The party halted at the head of the main nislo aud Senator Switzlcr spoke as fol lows : "I have the honor to report , in compliance with the instructions of this joint convention , that your committee uns invited the execu tive olllcers of the state and thnt they hnvo accepted the Invitation , mid that wo have nlso with us his excellency , Governor James E. Boyd , governor of the stuto of Ne braska. " The governor wns escorted to the clerk's desk , where hundreds of the expectant throng behold for the llrst time the features of tha first democratic governor of the state of Nebraska. The enthusiasm which seemed to kindle in many breasts was about to find expression in hearty applause when the deep tones of the lieutenant governor tilled thu chamber. " 1 have the distinguished pleasure , " ho said , "of presenting to you. for tno purpose of delivering his inaugural address , Governor James E. Boyd , governor of the stuto of Ne braska. " Whether or not the lieutenant governor emphasized tha tltlo which ho applied to the chief executive , whether or not hundreds of the pcoplo had not expected to hear the latter so characterized , the fact was that tbo an nouncement sent a thrill through the assem blage which resulted in one long , grand , en thusiastic hurst of upplnuso. When the enthusiasm had subsided the governor unfolded tbo manuscript of bis incssngo and began to read. During the first three or four sentences there wns a tremor in his voice , as if the importance o the occasion was overpowering him. But in the next few lines the tremor , the pathos even , died away aud the reading continued in a cool , calm , undemonstrative and unnlTcctcd man ner. There was no rhetorical effort in the composition , there wus no oratorical extrava gance In the delivery. It wns the talk of a practical man of business to a legislature and a state of practical people. The tone did not rulso upon the conversational und tha hand wns not utllUed in gesture. The former pen- otratcii to the limits of the chamberund alone was used to emphasize the points which the speaker sought to make effective. Upon the governor was centered every eve in thu houso. The traditional pin could almost have been hnnrd to drop , so atten tively did everybody boom to listen , to what was being said Some of Governor Hoyd's vluws differed from these of many around him. But they were candidly expressed and seemingly as liberally received and respected. When the governor hud concluded nearly everybody applauded nnd over the features of men of his own party could bo noticed that peculiar sinllo which evinced a feeling of supreme - promo happiness In Mr. Hoyd'o election and of satisfaction over the manner in which no had ontorodupon his gubarnatorlal > caroor.
