TARIFF BILL IS W
Democratic Senators Put in Sunday Giving

AMENDMENTS MADE BY THE HUNDRED
It prrMiitnUto Wltniui AVIII Hardly Itrrog-
Illrn 111 * Hiilitlliig When the Senate
Commlttrn fletit 'through with It
Chilli-no Treaty Tniliiy.
WASHINGTON , May C. The week will In
all probability witness some Interesting de
velopments In the tariff discussion. The
armistice arranged on Friday will end next
Tuesday If not continued by Agreement , and
the debate , which was Interrupted on Friday
In the midst of one of Mr. Quay's sentences
to allow the democrats to arrange their com
promise , will be resumed If the compromises
cihall prove to have progressed so far as to
admit of the Introduction of the amendments
proposed. If the latest plans do not fall the
amendments will be Introduced In the senate
tomorrow. The senators who are engaged In
formulating them have been at work upon
thorn all day , notwithstanding It Is Sunday ,
' ' ' .icy were also employed with them a good
I/art of last night. They had the assistance
of several experts. No definite Idea of the
amendments could be conveyed without giv
ing all the amendments , and they will not be
given to the press until presented In the
Bcnate. There will be few startling changes ,
Imt u great many of them. Indeed It Is
Known the amendments when Incorporated
will show as many If not more alterations
than were made In the lionae bill by the
finance committee when reported to the sen
ate. It may be said without prejudice the
report when made will fully justify the as
sertions made by the republicans on the floor
of the senate as to their number. The amend
ments will bo found most numerous on the
coal , char Iron and steel , agricultural and
sugar schedules , but they will affect the
entire bill , Including woolens , cotton goods ,
mi'tals and many other articles. In almost
every Instance where there have been
changes , Increases have been made , and
there has been a general blaiighterlng of the
ad valorem for specific duties. The sugar
schedule Is totally changed , and Iron manu
factures will show an Interesting transformation
mation If reports be correct.
With the amendments oncu In the senate ,
It will bo Interesting to observe HIP program
of the republicans. The democrats have bc-
lloved If they could secure n bill which would
Insure the support of forty-three senatorn
the republicans would yield , after a formal
and businesslike protest against the changes ,
and they have assured the republican tariff
leaders that the bill , which they hope to
present today , will have the nupport of forty-
three democratic senators , to Kay nothing of
the assistance they hope to secure from the
populist senators. The week will probably
demonstrate what credence the republican
senators glvo to this statement and develop
their plans In case It bo verified. It Is
understood If , when the compromise bill Is
once before the senate , the republicans do
not show a disposition to discuss Its merits
upon lines laid down by the democintlc man
agers , they will make an effect to expedite
business by lengthening the hours of the
dally hesslons and by curtailing the liberties
of debate now enjoyed. This policy was
curtly Intimated In the reply made by Sen-
utor Harris to an Inquiry as to whether the
present hours would bs observed after Tues
day.
" \'CH , " he replied , "until we move fcr
longer. "
The republicans will resist an effort of
this character and when It is made some un
written speeches may \ > s expected. The
only set speech so far announced for the
week Is one by Senator Hoar on Tuesday.
The Chinese treaty will occupy tho'scnuto
tomorrow.

Action Is Kxpcctcil on the New Mexican
Statehood Hill.
WASHINGTON. May G. The coming week
In the house promises to give opportunity
for another effort to admit New Mexico
to statehood , for a sharp content over pur
chasing a now site for the government
printing olllce , and then for a consideration
of the remaining appropriation hills on the
calendar naval , Indian and agricultural.
Monday being Individual suspension day
permits bills to be called up out of their
order. The frlonds of the Now Mexico bill
have long waited this opportunity , us the
new quorum counting rule gives them a
hope of passing the bill. The contest has
assumed a party aspect , as Delegate Jo
seph of Now Mexico and others Interested
In the measure regard the prospective state.
as surely democratic. This may be offset
somewhat by an effort to admit Oklahoma ,
which Is regarded as a prospective lepub-
llcan state.

In In such a rickety and dangerous condition
that a speedy removal Is Imperative. The
main contest Is between the owners of rival
sites , who have exerted strong Inlluonco for
the government purchase of their property.
U Is expected that the naval appropriation
bill will bo reached on Wednesday and Chair
man Cummlngs of the naval committee
thinks ono day will be sulllclent for the con
sideration and passage of the measure. Them
Is the chance , however , that nn animated
controversy may arise over the recent armor
plate frauds. Tha committee wilt not pio-
voko the contest , as the frauds have already
induced the cammlttco to cut thn appropria
tion for armor plates. There aio nu'inbers
outside the committee , however , who would
like to ventilate thn wholn subject on the
lloor of the house. The naval bill contains
few Items of general Interest , no new battle
ships being authorized and the appropriations
being restricted mainly to the current needs
of the naval scrvlco ,
Tha Indian appropriation bill will consume
the latter part of the week. Chairman Hoi-
jnan , who reported It , has Inaugurated several
features of economy , which will reduce- the
total of tl.o bill about $1,000,001) below the
totals of previous years. This promises to
bring out sharp comment. KeprcbentiUlvo
Wilson of Washington U prepared to main
tain that economy should not be carried to
the extent of crippling the Indian service.
Mr. Wilson will present ono amendment of a
Boml-polltlcal character , providing that no
appointments as Indian agents shall be made
except from bona fide residents of the states
or territories within which the Indian agen
cies are located , Ho will urge this as u prac
tical application of the home rule plank of
the Chicago platform , Mr. . Wilson says the
discussion of the bill will be'so thorough that
, it cannot be passed within a week.
This program will probably keep the house
busy throughout the week. If , however , the
Indian bill ls disposed of easier than ex
pected , the agricultural appropriation bill
Will consume the balance of the week. The
most Important committee work of the week
will be the reporting of the legislative and
judicial appropriation bill , which U the last
of the great appropriation bills.

Loekwood , Trncey and other New York
members are closely uniching the barley
Item of the tariff bill and are n lying mainly
on Senator Murphy's familiarity with the

of the barley schedule satisfactory to New

with the senator , during which the bnrley
tariff has been discussed. The New Yoik
In ewers draw ther ) supply of barley from
the great crops of Canada , find with ti nom
inal duty the western men have n piospect
of commanding the brewery business of the
country. But the westerners , partleulaily
those centered at Milwaukee , St. Lou's and
Cincinnati , draw their supplies mainly from
American famiers and can get along'with
out the low duty barley of Canada. With
the Canadian crop kept out by n high duty
the westernciB have a prospect of com
manding the market. The western men
were well satlslled with the high rate of 10
percent fixed In the tiinte hi 1 , but now the
eastern men ure at work to bring the rate
down , and they feel they will ucceed.

CHICAGO. May G. The soft coal famine
Is beginning to bo seriously felt in Chicago
and some of the surrounding towns as well.
Coal that was practically a drug on the mar
ket at $3.05 a ton was largely sought for
at $5 a ton , and It Is claimed by home deal
ers that , as high as $5.50 was obtained for
small quantities. Some of the Chicago con
sumers attribute the famine to a scheme of
the Ohio and Western Pennsylvania oper
ators. Assistant General Manager Wood of
the Chicago & Alton road Is of this belief.
"For the last year , " he said , "the Ohio op
erators have been storing coal at the various
lake points. They accumulated 06,000.tons
and then cut tlio wages of the men to the
starvation point , knowing they would strike
rather than accept the cut. They also fig
ured that the Indiana , Illinois and Iowa
miners would strike In order to aid their
Ohio and Pennsylvania brethren , "
Several other railroad ofllclals made the
same statement. One said that over fi.OOO-
000 bushels of Plttsburg coal lay In barges
at the docks In Cairo , and even a greater
quantity was nt the St. Louis docks and at
Alton.

ST. JOSEPH , May C. The police are
working upon the theory that an organized
band of kidnappers are at work In this
city. In addition to the mysterious dis
appearances of W. H. Harrison , a well
known traveling man and two little
daughters of Patrick Day , as told In these

three other small children are now reported.
Yesterday afternoon Mrs. Gray's two little
daughters left home to gather greens. At

their whereabouts has been discovered. Re
sides these , ono other child Is also miss-

ZANZIBAR , May G. Advices have reached
here from Mcngo , Uganda , to the effect that
the Punitive expedition under the command
of Colonel Colvllle , sent against Kabarcga ,
king of Unjroro , has completely defeated the
king's force. In November lost Kabarega
attacked a chief at Torn. The chief applied
to the British for aid , and a force of 00
Nubians , commanded by Major Owen , was
sent to his assistance. This force met the
force of Kabarega , and after a fight that
lasted three hours the latter fled , leaving
at least fifty dead on the field. War was
then declared on Ktibarega and a force of
700 Nubians and 10,000 Wayandota natives
was sent against him , 5,000 at the latter
carrying firearms This force was too strong
for Kabarcgu , and though he gave them
battle he was routed. The expedition has
established a chain of forts from the Albert
Nyanza , on the banks ot which Kabarcgu's
headquarters were situated , to Uganda. It
Is expected that the success of the expedition
will prove n death blow to the slave trade
of this region , and will bring Arab Influ
ence to an end.

Stylada and subsequently proceeded to La-
mania , where a te deuiii was sung In the
cathedral. The prophecy made by Prof.
Faalb a few days ago that there would be a
destructive earthquake on Friday or Satur
day caused a panic In this city and the
Piraeus. A large number of persons be
lieved In the prophecy and thought their
buildings would be de'stroyed. A great many
of them encamped In the fields about their
cities , while many others fled for safety to
the lillls , where they remained Friday and
Saturday nights. At the Piraeus many In

BERLIN , May 0. Advices have reached
here from Stephanl , a town In the govern

neaily the whole village has been destroyed
by fire. The chimney of one of the/ houses
caught fire during a high wind and the
sparks were carried to the roofs of other
houses , setting fire to them , The flames
spread with great rapidity and the place
being very deficient ns to means of lighting
fire little could be done to stop Its progress.
The Inhabitants were panlcstrlckcn und for
a time were utterly helpless. Then attempts
were made to. save pcisonal property nnd
much furniture and other household effects
were taken from the burning buildings. Five
thousand persons encamped in the fields
about the burning town , each family stand
ing guard over the pioperty they had has
tily removed. While thus encamped a
cyclone broke over the place , breaking up
the rescued property and sweeping by far
the greater part of It away.

Father Sullivan read a communication from

Before the directory the matter of chang
ing the title of the presiding officer from

of the members to be a misnomer and mis
leading.
A great many delegates are expected to
come In tomorrow , among them Father Sha-
lian , who will bo heard at the mass meet-
Ing. Father Shahan Is a professor at the

stripes , under which so many bravo sons
. 'of Erin fought valiantly thirty years ago.

COUNTING TUG STRENGTH.
The members ot the Tourist club Imvn re
served parlor headquarters and on their ar
rival they will begin to work In the In
terest ot their candidate for national dele
gate , Patrick O'Neill. As yet there has
been no means of determining the strength
of the O'Neill ' delegates , but there seems
to be a good many of them ,
Up to last evening the contest for the
position of national delegate seemed to have
narrowed down to O'Neill and O'Connor
ot Favannab , Ga. The O'Connor men are
on the field early and their randldatn has
gained a great deal in strength since his
arrival , Ilia friends claim that the south
Is entitled to a representation In this of
fice , which has heretofore been held by nn
eastern man , O'Brien and O'Connor of
St. Louis are working hard for the southern
men and they will go Into the convention
with a strong backing , The name of John
Rush has been mentioned , but no organized
effoit has been made so far In his behalf.
Mr , Rush Is not n candidate In the strict
sense of the word , and Is generally regarded
as a possible candidate In case there should
bo n deadlock In the voting. However ,
the Omaha man stands very high In the
estimation ot nil the visitors and If there
should be a chance for n split-up In the
delegation his chances would bo very good ,
The local Hibernians are working hard
to make the stay of the visitors a pleasant
one , ami to bo able to send the delegates
home with many pleasant memories of
Omaha. .
On Tuesday the official delegates will be
escorted to the convention hall by the Hi
bernian Knights under the command ot
Captain John Corrlgan.
There are seven divisions of the Ancient
Order of Hibernians In this county , with a
membership of over 2,000 , and they will
all be In line In the grand parade on
Wednesday. The men nro nicely uniformed
and with nearly 3,000 men In line the parade
will ba an Imposing one.

LANGDON , Mo. , May C. ( Special to The
Bee. ) This little fishing box , as It might
with entire propriety be called , was dis
turbed to Its entire cltl/cn.shlp by the sen-
hatlonal features connected with a shooting.
Wallace Guyett. one of the boatmen whose
business It Is to row parlies of fishermen up
and down the Nlshnabolna river and show
the angler how to beguile the llbh to his hook ,
returned from an excursion .up the stream
this morning bomewlwt unexpectedly and on
passing through a small clump of woods
leading to his home discovered his wife in'
compromising relations with a stranger.
Without waiting to debate the question , ho
rushed to his house and securing a shotgiih
at once opened lire on the destiovcr of hN
home , with the lesult that the air In the
vicinity of Langdon was perforated with
gun shot. The gay Lothario , finding that ha
was the object of the firing , at once left the
scene of his escapade and the footprints ho
left In n plowed field showed that he was
provided with soven-lcague boots. The en
raged husband followed the man for quite
a distance , firing as ho ran. Once or lwlci >
the pursued fell , which caused the rumor
that the man hud been fatally wounded. An
excited Individual rushed to the Justlco of
the peace of Benton township , living In thu
little village , and a warrant was Issued for
the arrest of Guyett , without making any
charges. Guyctt , however , guve himself up
to the officer , not hesitating to say that
while he thought he- had wounded the nun
he felt peifertly justified In killing him.
Later It Is learned that the Don Juan was
a Rockpoi t printer , James Wendell by name ,
and that lie was not Injured. Guvctt , how
ever , was taken to the county beat of At-
chlbon county , Missouri , where he will be
tried for disturbing the peace at least. The
woman quietly entered the house during the
excitement , and throwing some clothes Into
a bundle , left the town.
Judge C. R. Scott was here several days
last week , but he grew to be a trial with
himself and decided to get back Into Judicial
harness.
Among th ? Omaha people present the past
week were : Major McMahon , Mr. Breniicn ,

his seitnon , the pastor. Rev. H. L. Houth-

upon him yesterday by Colonel Hreckln-
rldge at the opeia bouse. He said that
be was willing to lay down his life , If
neell be. In defense of the vlitue of the
women of his congregation. With this
he broke down and then llnrilson arose
and said the city of Lexington was a
"Sodom ( iml Gomorrah. " That HO many
of her people wanted to honai this man
( meaning Iliecklnrldge ) even by returning
him to congress. Southgate then added
that he was sorry his original lemarks be
fore the Young Men's Christian association
had not been printed In every paper In the
land.
"I repeat those remarks , " he said. "I
again say that no decent Christian can
afford to vote for this man. " His ie >
muiks wc-ru greeted with applause.

from Dllieflelds report the answer to the
British minister , Mr. Goalln , that Nicaragua
has cancelled her withdrawal of British Con
sul BIliKham , exequatur. Blngham refused
to receive the cxcqtiator unless accompanleil
by an ample apology on the part of Nicar
agua and to como through the Iramls ot
Minister Goslln. In reply Consul BliiRham
has been called to Managua , the capital , anil
all boats on the San Juan river and the hikes
are held at his disposal. .Minister Baker ami
Captain U'utson have both fully approu-d ot
llm course , followed by Consul Bralda.
The murderer of Wilson , the American
killed , has not yet been captured and linn
roamed ut large. Captain Wilson has rc-
iiuested that he bo arrested and tried.
The Nlearaguans have taken charge of
leased lands ut the Dlucflclds bluff belonging :
to Americans and say that all leases forever
over eight years will bo cancelled as Illegal ,
although Improvements amounting to ovir
$1,000,000 have been placed thereon by ,
Americans , and Nicaragua , through her prev
ious commissioner to the Mosquito reserva
tion. General Isldoro Urtrehus. foieed thn
Mosquito government to Issue a lease for
fifty yeai.s for eighty-four acres of said bluff
lands In ISM ! und 1SS7.
The Americans have- been frequently told
by the Nlearaguans : "Your government
will do nothing for you ; wo know that , " anil
aitlm ; on this assumption have insulted
Consul Bralda. American citizens and the
government of the United States. Had the
KotcriinitMit at Washington acted as promptly
as England did the pioper respect would bo
shown to American Interests , American citi
zens and the country's flag abroad.
The action of Nicaragua fn cancelling Con
sul Bingliam's exequatur and his being called
to Managua smells strongly that England Is
enrolling her treaty rights and Is obtaining
something better from Nicaragua , ami , as
usual , England , by her vigorous policy , Is
getting ahead of the United States. Lacayo
has gl\en ofllclul employment to several
renegade Americans and uses the fact ot
their presence In his cabinet as an argument
that the Americans are with him. The
American population at Bluefields and vlcln- .
liy Is composed of the same sturdy classes
that built up the west and Invested $3,000.-
000 under treaty rights which they expected
the I nltcd States would en force. Over $300-
000 is Invested by Boston capitalists alone ,
which largely controlled the mahogany trade.
The trouble has naturally affected coni-
merco und the business of Bluefields has
fallen oft from 25 to 50 per cent.
Minister Baker , after his arrival at Blue-
flolds , called upon the Mosquito officers fpr
a statement as to the condition of uffnira
before the invasion. lie also called a con-
fejcuce otAmerican merchants fdf'tliu day
after the vessel left. From Minister Baker's
action the .Atncrlcans der.lye , great Jiope \ \ ate
