CHICAGO , Feb. 0. f
Lieutenant Charles Taylor , a participant
lu the battle nt Wounded Knee , and who , as
chief of Indian scouts , played a conspicuous
piirtlntbu recent Indian war , IsnttboLeland.
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. "

Llttlo has been hoard of late concerning

afford them an entrance to the city and to the
Grand Central depot and terminals afutesald.
The project U neither dead noralcoplng.how-

away Industriously on it. Ho says the road
will bo built before the opcnlugot the world's
fair and will afford all the facilities directors
or na'loual commissions may desire for landIng -
Ing visitors on the fuir grounds without tha
expenditure of a cent on their part. In
t speaking of what ho Is now doiug Ucnoral
Torrcnco said :
"I am now getting the tltlo deeds for the
property I have bought from the Santa Fo
for my right of way out from under the
debris of mortgages and other Incutnbrancca
that surround them. Just as soon as thov
nro perfected the work of construction will
bo commenced and will bo pushed to
completion ni rapidly as it is
possible to do it. I am negotiating with the
Baltimore & Ohio and sic or eight other
roads to furnish them with all the terminals

Characterized ns Folly.
CHICAGO , Fob.0.iSpoclal [ Telegram to
TUB BnE.l Chairman walker of the
Western Tranlc association says his open
etter of yesterday to the llt/os in tbo south
western pool has been misconstrued. The
Atclnson was charged wltix not having
obeyed tbo order of the chairman for the di
version of trafllc to its competitors. It did not
refuse to divert , but on the other hand sold
t would divert ns ordered as soon ns it had
any unconslgncd business. fOfllcinls of the
ntcrcsted lines agree , however , that the
southwestern pool is dead bovond all resur
rection. An Alton official fdrT instance said
today : "Tho only reason fotitho southwest
ern agreement was to dlvtdo the trnfllc
equitably between the nine lues in interest.
The Atcnison has not olwyed orders to
divert trafllc , nnd of coursq the agreement
stops short. It Is an added argument for the
Alton not to join the Western fTraaic associa
tion. Its motto is to dhUdo the truftlu in
exactly the same ratio as tfeo 'Southwestern.
It Is folly to suppose this call 'bo aono in all
the west , when it is aVfallnro in the re

" CmrJlao-Feb. 6.1 [
Tuq Ben. ] Chicago eostb'o'und lines arc
threatened with n number of suits , charging
them with discrimination. It has been the
custom to make no switching charges to
regular elevators , but to charge from r > 0 cents
to & ) a car to irregular elevators. This
is a severe tare on the latter , and
they propose to bo put on even
footing with the regular oleyators. East
bound lines considered the subject today and
decided they were guilty of discrimination.
Switching charges are n valuable source of
revenue , however , nnd an attempt will bo
made to apply them on grata from regular
olavators and thus escape the penalty for
discrimination.

WASHISGTON , Tob. 0. 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.

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

holders , otn. _
Consideration of the eight-hour bill was
resumed. 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

Mr. Dawos moved a substitute for thnt of
fered by Mr. Blair. It directs the proper ac

port the result to congress.
It was agreed the bill should bo voted on

End ol'a Singular Case.
Loxnox , Fob.1 * 0. [ 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. %

hrongof ladles of all ages wnlch filed Into
the placo' as the hour of the rending ap-
iroachod.
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

the speaker's dealt nnd after a few words
with Speaker Elder the latter retired.
Mr. Bertram ! of Dodge sent up a motion.
The roll call of the senate was ordered.
Only Messra. Shea , Horn and Starbuck were
absent.
The roll of the house wns called. 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.
Boyd , and announce to him thnt the senate
and house of representatives , In joint session ,
nro ready to recolvo any recommendation ho
may hnvo to present to them ; and further ,
that the executive ofllcors of the state of Ne
braska bo also invited to bo present. "
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
