Bcnittnrft Who Wiint to Servo on the Appropriation Committee Text of Springer' * Free. Wool Illll-Tho Titrlir I.nw Notes. WAIIHXOTOV , D. C. Jan , 7. Mr. Poffor , the alliance senator from Kansas , today un dertook Homo missionary work in states out- olda of the home of his all Unco. Ho Intro- x tMccd a bill ot a purely alliance and paternal y.haractcr , intended tor.ocuro the loan by the Jr national irovornmontof thesumoflOJ,03iOOJ ) to the people of Indluna. The preamble recites that the people of Indiana uro laboring under the burden of enormous interest charges made possible by the great scarcity of money , the direct result of legislation favoring the credit owning cap italists and hostile to the wage earner and producer , resulting In the enforced mortgag ing of lands in Indiana to such an extent M to threaten their loss. The bill Itself authorizes the secretary of the treasury to Issue treasury notes to the amount of ? 100OOJ,000. These notes are to bo loaned to the pcoplo of Indiana on mort gages upon tholr lands. Everyone who ac cepts a loan of this description Is to glvo a promissory note , and ho Is limited In his bor rowing to one-halt of the cash value of his land. To secure a fair rate of Interest on the money loaned , the governor of the state is to collcctscml-nnnually a tax of 1 per cent and turn it Into the national treasury. When the principal of thu notes fulls duo , if the promissory notes uro unpaid , the mortgages arc to be foreclosed und the land sold. If there Is no bidder for a tract , the land U to bo bid in for the UnlleJ States aid : the occu pant Is to bo permitted to remain ut > on it in consideration ot a payment of a rental equal to a tax of 2 per cent. A safeguard upon the issue of the treasury notes under the tormi of the bill Is provided in a clause limiting their amount to u total not exceeding $100 per capita for the whole country ana not loss than $ > J per caplti for tbo whole population of Iho state of Indlanu. Ho Wiisuu Olijriit of Curiosity. Senator Hill of Now York remained in his scat for nn hour after the adjournment of the senate today. Ho was an object of Interest to the pcoplo which then hud entrance to the hall , and was much discussed nnd pointed at by little knots ot spectators , who gathered in the rear of the desks. Ho occupied thn seat formerly filled by Senator Hampton of South Carolina , In the last row on the democratic side of the chamber. The new senator received a welcome not Usually accorded to a now comer , for not only was ho Dorsonully greeted by nearly all of bis democratic colleagues , but by many re publican senators , and ho must have been surprised to find out how many persons In Washington hud known nun well for years to judcu by their profuse declarations. Hn watched the short proceedings today with tnuch Interest , nnd when Captain Bassett's four bells signalled adjournment , ho re- murkcd jocularly that the session had been too short to admit ot his distinguishing him self. AiixloiiH to ( iiet on the Committee. There are now ton senators who have noti fied tha caucus commltrcoof their ability und willingness to servo on the appropriations committee in tbo nhice formerly hold by Mr. Plumb. Although Senator PerKins , in view of his congressional experience , is likely to faro much better than is usually thu cmo with now senators In assignment to commit tees , It is not probable that ho can succeed to this much coveted place , so that Iho caucus committee , unable to full back upon the rule of succession , is In a dilemma. Ono of Its members today said that the momn < u" hlp of the appropriations committee would be In- cioascd , notwithstanding the understanding Touched nt the beginning of the present % ? session that it would bo allowed to shrink to "i | J8 * its former membership of nine when u V 'p vacancy ensued In the natural course of events. It'somo such measure of relief Is not afforded it is feared that the western ' , i senators , who favor u division of the gnnarnl { appropriation bills amongst the loading com- > < vimttecs.will carry their point , with thu aid of certain senators who are disappointed in their doslro to get places on thu all-powerful appropriations committee. Springer's Free Wont IUII , The following Is the'text ot the free wool bill dratted by Chairman Springer of the ways and moans committee but not yet intro duced In the house by him nor approved by the majority of the ways aud means commit tee. Mr. Springer was at lint reluctant to glvo It out for publication In advance of its introduction , nut finally said that In vlow of the many conflicting statements which had gone out in regard to the bill , ho thought It might bo best in order to avoid criticism to make its provisions ns at present drafted public.

SPIKING CLEVELAND'S ' GUNS , Senators Hill and Gorman Preparing to De feat the Ex-President. HE IS SELDOM MENTIONED NOW. Washington Dmnocruls M\hn : no .Secret of Their rreferenco for the Now York Leader mid Pity Him Horn is eon on All WASIII.VOTOX BUIIEAU OF TUB BRB , ) fil8 FouitTKENTii STIIEP.T , V WASIII.NOTO.V , D. ( ' . . , Jan. 7. ) It was made quite clear today in the intro duction of ox-Uovornor David B. Hill of New York Into the senate , that ho is nt once to bo accorded , with Senator Gorman ot Maryland , the leadership of the democratic party , nnd that ho will co-operate with the latter In driving nails into the political coflln of ox-President Orovor Cleveland. No man was accorded more , and probably no one as much , deference by his party colleagues as was given Mr. Hill. The democrats bared their heads whenever he appeared in the corridors riders of the oapltol , and were eager to sus pend tholr worn whenever ho approached them on the floor of the senate , nnd all paid him homugo the ontlro day. Senator Hill is the democratic lion ol Washington now and it Is said that quite all of the democrats In congress have assured him of thulr wish that he shall be their next presidential candidate. One seldom hears Air. Cleveland's name mentioned hero now. .More I'liimbs Tor the Went. It is altogether probable that President Harrison will send to the senate on next Monday or Tuesday the nomination of Judge Sanbow of St. Paul to preside over that judicial circuit. The president bus oeon inclined to appoint 'n demo crat to that circuit and thoucht of giving the position to Judge Mitchell of Wmona , Minn. , but it is understood- that he has changed his mind and will appoint a republican. When it wes known a few days ago that , Mitchell wa § in the president's mind n storm of protest was matio by promi nent republicans in the circuit , since when it is said ho lias bcsn canvassing Iho list of re publican applicants. To a senator today the president stated that ho would have given the place to ox- Senator Moody of South Dakota were It not for the fact that Iowa and Minnesota bad prior claims which ho must recognize. Ho said the question now was which of those two states would bo given the place. This statement appeared to definitely clear away any doubts as to whether the appointee would bo a democrat or republican , as Iowa has not a democratic candidate , the one 'rec ommended by bar citizens being Judge Shiras of Dubuquo. Since the appointment of Judga Dill to the Interstate Commerce Commission lowaus sny they have no hope of securing the circuit judgeshlp and cou- ccdo it to Minnesota. In Council UlunV Interest. Today Mr. Bowman introduced a bill In the house for the establishment of a branch mint at Council Bluffs. The measure is sim ilar to the one introduced In the SQuato by Senator Allison , but Inasmuch as Omaha has a smelting works and her senators bavo taken iho initial steps to got a branch mint there , it is hardly possible that Council BluflV will succeed In securing the passage of this bill. Mr. iiowman also introduced n bill to make Council Bluffs a port of delivery , aud it Is " possible that this'measure , which Involves" very little expense , will pass. Miscellaneous. Bishop William U. Walker of South Da kota is ut thu Riggs. V. Vilcher was today appointol postmaster at Quinton , Thuraton county , Nob. , vice J. T. Deal , resigned , otc. , and II.

In vlow Of the provision in the reciprocity section pf the tariff law of October 1 , 189 : ) , making it the duty of the president after January 1 , 1S93 , to suspand , by proclamation , the fros admission of sugars , molasses , oolToo , tea and hides against such countries producing these articles as , after that date , maintain tariff duties upon American agricultural and other products , which ho may doom uncniial , und unreasonable , the president submitted to the attorney general the question whether the law authorised him to Issue a proclamation llxlng a future day , when the duties Imposed b > virtue of the proclamation would take effect. The attorney general has given an opinion that Iho duties must attach and bo collected on nnd after the daw of the proclamation , and that u lutiiro day cannot bo named by the president. Owing to Oils decision , aud to Iho fact that justice lo importers of the articles named In section 1 ! of the tariff law , requires that reasonable notice should be given of the president's ' Intended action ; Sec retary Ulalnc today sent notes to the diplo matic representatives in this city of Austria , Ilupgary , ( Jolomuia , Hayti , Nicaragua , Hon duras , Spain , for the Phllllplco islands and Venezuela , Informing them that on the inth of March next , the president would issuu. his proclamation , unless , In the meantime , some t > alisfactory reciprocity arrangements hud been rando with iho countries named , declar ing that in view of the free admission of ar ticles named In section U of the tariff law , the products of those countries , ho deemed their tariffs on iho agricultural and other products of the United States to bo reciprocally unequal nnd unreasonable , and that , as ncalust the countries named , ho would Issue his proclamation March 15 , next , suspending the provisions of the tariff law , relating to the free Introduction into the United States of augur ? , molasses , coffee , tea and hides , the product of or exported fiom such countries , and on and after that data the duties tlxou in section fl , would bo im posed on those articles. The notlco to Spain , however , only applies to the Phllllplnu Islands.

Governor Humphrey received a dispatch from Adjutant General Roberta , doted Ark alon , and stating that ho had arrested nnd was holding four prisoners. The general anticipated no trouble so long as the troops remained , Latest from thu Front. AIIKALO.V , Kan. , Jan. 7. The blood shed arising from the long continued trouble In southwestern Kansas is notyos ended. Dep uty sheriffs have partially avenged the death of Sheriff Dunn. It Is not known to bo a positive fact , but it scorns more than likely that as a rovult of thu attempt of the dep uties to bring the slayers nf tbo sheriff to jus tice and force an expiation of thu murder four of the outlaws were killed this after noon. The reports , however , needs confirmation before absolute reliance can bo placed upon It. So far us is known , those nro the facts : A courier arrived nero ut noon , just in fiom the south line of the state , tie reports a running conflict between thu Hoeing oos poradoes and an armed posse of pursuers. According to his report there were two wagon loaded with fifteen of the mon par ticipating in the canyon battle. They hud boon encamped In a gulch south of Spring ] field , where they were discovered. They saw Ihcir pursuers at nbouttho same moment and then commenced the life ana death race. Kept Up u Illuming Fight. For ten miles the two parties were not within firing distance , but just before dusi : the pursuing party came within less than n quarter of a mile of the desperadoes , nnd then firing commenced. This running fight was koot up on a level plain for a distance of four miles. Following ono fustlade four mon were seen to tumble from tholr scats in the wagons , ono in one and throe in the other. It could not bo ascertained whether they were killrd or wounded. The pursuing party , finding that their jaded horses would not carry them further , made a detour of half a mile to u ranch , where they procured fresh horses , and the race was resumed. The couriorstartod back from that point. Ho says the puwuing.party numbered fourteen men , would follow the desperadoes into No Man's Land , if neces sary , and bring them back dead or alive , Another courier Is hourly expected , and with him the news of a. battle in which ono sitlo or the other will have sustained serious loss of life. The scones In this county are feared will bo repeated in each of the other counties. At 1 o'clock this morning a young man named Estes was arrested at his homo m Fargo and brought hero wbora ho is hold by the troops. It is aliened that bo was ono of the party attacking Dunn and killinir him. Ono Incident oT the Trouble. One of the inclaonts of this trouble was the ride of Joe Larrabo , one of the men with Dunn when raurderod. After the fight Lar rabo with three others wore chased to and into Springflold by seventeen of the murder ous gang , and although within reach of the sinsrlng bullets , they escaped unhurt. Un daunted by his experience , Larrabo > started out to arouse the country. Ho rode back to his own home , changed horses and then struck out. He rode from Springfield to Hugoton and called upon Sheriff Conn to aid In heading off the escaping gang , and Conn promptly'summoned a posse , but refused to do anything until ho rode back to Fargo nnd held a conference with Judge Bodkin. This would taxo him out of the chase. It was al- ledged that Conn desired to aid In thu escape ot tbo Stevens county members of the gang. Lurrukco then rode back to Arkalon. Ho made the trip of 110 miles in loss than eleven hourd , rested four hours and then started out again. Hot kin Dili Not Open Court. Governor Humphrey today made inquiries as to thu reason why the court at Springfield had not been opened. Judge Botkin hud given notice that ho would open court yester day and aualn today. Instead of doing so ho went to Pratt today to attend the funeral of Dunn. The result Is ono company of militia Is now nt Springfield awaltiug the pleasure of Judge Bolkin , In the meantime aiding tbo deputy sheriffs in making arrests of thu men engaged In the battle. For those over thirty warrants have been issued. These arrests arj. but the beginning of an other trouble not anticipated. All the war rants were made returnable to the justice of the peace at this place. The men uro to be brought here as fast us they are arrested and confined awaiting the pleasure tbo county attorney. It has boon alleged that it their preliminary examinations ware held in Sprlngflnld the prisoners would all bo re leased , therefore they are till brought to Arkalon. The jail is at Springfield , so the prisoners are held In a vacant store room , in which the troops are quartered. Two more prisoners , C. S. Anderson nnd J. J. Leach , were brought in this afternoon , and ono boy , Hobiuson , was released. There are now five men hold under guard , and the uro that no examination will bead Grespects twenty of the loudlnir members of the supposed organization have been ar rested , ut least such is the wish of iho county attorney. Feur Further TrouhluH , As ono of todav's prisoners is tbo chairman of the Board of County Commissioners , nnd Is also a leading alliance man , and all the prisoners so far belong to the alliance , grave feat's nro fo.lt by Aajutant General Hohortt > and the people hero that a rescue will bo attempted. An attack by thirty or forty well armed , determined men could result only ono way the release of the prisoners and possibly bloodshed. The situation is beginning to bo alarming. If Judga Dotlun had opened his court when ho should have dona so , part of the force ut Springfield couldibavo been re lieved and sent hero to reinforce tbo prison guards.
