WASHINGTON , June 23. The half hour
usually devoted to miscellaneous business In
the senate was today occupied by Mr. Call
with a resolution providing for a committee
of five senators to Investigate the control or
senators and representatives by corporations.
He made a brief speech on the subject.
Mr. Sherman salt * he was willing that th
Investigation should bo allowed so far n
Florida was concerned , but he did not think
It was just to make It EO broad and sweeping
os contained In the resolution. The matter
went over and the tariff bill was taken up.
Mr. Hilt took the floor. He said that
yesterday would be known In history a *
populist day , alluding to the speeches of
Fcnators Kyle and Allen. He raid that nt >
attempt had b < .en made to attack the repeat
of the state bank tax or to enact a free coin
( ige bill In this bill , bath of which are en
dorsed by many democrats and considered a
part of the platform , while especial efforts ,
liad been made to go outside of the platform
to Incorporate the Income tax In the bill. Nether < >
other system of taxation opened such a broad
field for fraud and evasion and none offeree
such temptations.
If the tax were to be Imposed there was no
reason why the exemption should be $4,000
when In monarchical countries where this
tax was levied the exemption was but $750
nnd even down to $271. Was It to compen-
fatp for the high cost of living here ? He
believed that the higher the exemption the
harder would It be to defend this tax.
HILL OFFERS AMENDMENTS.
Having spoken nearly two hours Mr Hill
rave way to Mr. Galllnger , who also opposed
the Income tax. Then Mr. Hill offered the
amendment limiting the exemption of tax to
Incomes less than $3,000 , which Mr Vest had
offered yesterday on behalf of the finance
committee , but which he afterwards with
drew. Lost. 30 to 38.
The vote In detail Is as follows :
Yeas Aldrlch , Carr , Chandler , Davis ,
Frye , Galllnger , Hlgglns. Hill , Hoar , Irby ,
Lodge , Manderton , Peffcr , Perkins , Platt ,
Quay , Slioup and \Va-wburn. Total , IS.
Nays Allen , Bate , Berry , Blackburn , Caf-
fery , Cockrcll , Coke. Dolph , Dubols , Faulk

( Ore. ) , Mitchell ( WIs. ) , Morgan , Murphy ,
Palmer , Pasco , Power , Proctor. Pugh. Roach ,
Smith , Teller , Turple , Vest , Vllas , Voorhees ,
Walsh and White. Total , H2.
Mr. Hill then r.iovcd to reduce the ex
emption from $4,000 to $2,000. This was
also defeated , 26 to 38.
Mr. Hill then moved to reduce the ex
emption to $2,500 ; lost. 25 to 33
Mr. Hill then reoffercd the Vest amend
ment to reduce the exemption from $4,000
to $3,000. Lost.,30 to 38.
Mr. Hill then offered an amendment to
change the date on which the income tax
provision of the hill should go into effect
from January 1 , 1893 , to January 1 , 1896
Defeated , 6 to 41.
An amendment by Mr. Hoar to Include
judges of United States courts In the exemp
tion from the Income tax was agreed to with
out objection.
Mr. Sherman Inquired whether any esti
mates had been made as to the probable
yield of revenue from this tax. Mr. Vest
replied the general estimate was $30,000,000 ,
but he did not believe any accurate estimate
could be made.
_ Mr. Hill proposed an amendment to exempt
( he salary of the president from the Imposi
tion of the tax , and used this amendment
ns a text for criticising In a semi-humorous
way the action of the finance * committee In
exempting the salaries of federal judges.
He failed to see , he said , why the salaries
of judges should be exempt , and he thought
if compliments were to be paid one certainly
WHS due to the president ; besides the presi
dent happened to bo a resident of New York ,
and the tax would fall with an especially
heavy hand on New York.
DID NOT SPEAK WITH AUTHORITY.
"I am not authorized to speak for the
president , " Mr. Hill said , with a smile. "In
this or any other matter , but this would be
a delicate compliment to one citizen of New
York and I think the committee ought to
accept the amendment. "
"While Mr. Cleveland Is the last demo
cratic president wo shall ever liavo from
New York , " said Mr. Vest , rising to his
feet , "the appeal Is almost Irresistible. "
( Laughter. )
"If you persist In this species of taxation , "
said Mr. Hill , turning to him. "he will be
the last democratic president from any
itate. "
The applause In the galleries that greeted
this utterance was quickly suppressed by
the vice president with a vigorous use of
the gavel. When the amendment was put
It was carried by a viva voce vote.
Mr. Hill then moved the Interest on United
States bonds ( excepted by the provisions of
the bill ) be subject to the provisions of the
Income tax.
At 4:10 : , without voting on the amend
ment , the senate went Into executive session ,
and at 4:20 : adjourned.

WASHINGTON. June 23. The notice of
the Intention of the Spanish government to
increase considerably on the 1st of July the
duties on a large number of American prod
ucts entering Cuba under the reciprocity-
treaty has created a great commotion among
exporters and particularly among the ship
pers of wheat nnd flour , who found them
selves caught unexpectedly as they thought
with large contracts for future delivery ,
which could not be landed In Cuba before the
date when the new duties were to be Im
posed In this case they flood to lose
heavily on their contracts , as they would be
obliged to pay the higher duty. Appeals
have flowed Into the State department from
the west particularly , begging the govern
ment to Intercede to protect these shippers.
Mr Uhl , who Is acting as secretary In the
absence of Mr. Gresham , telegraphed Min
ister Taylor at Madrid upon the subject and
has received a reply that , according to the
Spanish minister of state , the Increase In
the Cuban tariff canot be voted before July
1 , If at all. When It Is voted equitable pro
vision will be made to rover such cases as
the millers apprehended.

ST PAUL , June 23. The murder of J. H
Clapp , salesman for W S. Dennis & Co. , by
Ehle Allen last night In a quarrel over a
woman Is the most sensational affair which
has occurred In the northwest for some time ,
on account of the prominence of the princi
pals. Young Allen Is the son of Colonel
Allen , prop-Ietor of the Merchants hotel , has
acted as the clerk of that Institution for
years and Is probably as well and favorably-
known to the better class of the traveling
public as any man In the country The crime
Is rendered more sensational by the mystery
which surrounds the relations of the parlies
In the affair and the motive for Kb commis
sion From stories told by witnesses it ap
pears that the young woman , a Ml s Lule
Leyde , and Mr Allen hau been living to
gether for the past few months In rooms op
posite the Metropolitan hotel as "Mr. and
Mrs. Moore. " Shortly before midnight last
night Miss Leyde and a female friend were
passing the Metropolitan when they were in
sultingly accosted by Clapp The woman
ran across the street to where Allen was
standing and Clapp followed. Then the
tragedy occurred. Allen without further
provqcatlon drew a knife and slashed Clapp
across the throat so seriously that he bled
to death within twenty minutes. There are
hints that there are deeper and more sen
sational motives for the crime than are yet
made public.
Allen and the Leyde woman were arrested
and placed In/jail.
Allen's version Is that he had driven up to
the Metropolitan In a cab. He had dismissed
the cabman and was leisurely walking along
Fourth street , paring his finger nails with a
pocket knife , when Clapp accosted the Leyde
woman on the opposite side of the street
The woman ran to him for protection and
Clapp followed. In an altercation following
Clapp drew a revolver and Allen struck at
him , not thinking of the knife he held In
his hand. He claims he did not know he
had cut the man until after he was dead.
Miss Leyde's story substantiates that of
Allen. She confirms his assertion that Clapp
had drawn a revolver. Other eye witnesses ,
however , deny that he had made any hostile
motion. The fact that he still held a half- ,
burned cigar between his fingers when he
staggered Into the hotel corridor and sank
Into a chair after the cutting is a strong
point in contradiction.

Devotion of Mr * . MiiyiloW to Her Ilasb-ind
as Shown liy IK'r ( Srlef.
A scene that brought tears to the eyes of
those who witnessed It occurred yesterday
afternoon at the morgue , where lay the
body of Joe May field.
Joe Mayfield was colored and years ago
he married a white woman. They have
lived together through , thick and thin. She
never faltered In her devotion to her colored
husband and he never mentioned the color
line to her. : t
About six years ago they moved Into a-
thatched shanty at Thirteenth and Lake
streets and the neighbors say they lived
an extremely happy life. No children were
ever born to them.
When the wife heard that something had
befallen her husband she fainted , and when
she revived the first question she asked
was , "Where Is he ? "
Yesterday afternoon she went to the
morgue and , accompanied by Ell Glsh , went
Into the basement to bee the remains. They
were on a cooling board and the moment
Mrs Mayfield Eaw the face she threw her
self upon the corpse , passionately kissing the
face. It required three men to take her
from the spot , she being a very large and
muscular woman. Half a dozen times be
fore the door was reached she attempted to
break away from those who- held her.
The Investigation Into the death of Mayfield -
field has not progressed any. Police de
tectives looked Into the matter , but learned
nothing new. Coroner Maul wants an au
topsy held , but will not order one unless the
county commissioners agree to pay the bill
County Physician 1)1)thin ) said that he would
make the post mortem If the commissioners
so ordered. There Is not a mark or bruise
of any kind on May field's body and the gen
eral opinion Is that death was caused by
heart disease. This was the verdict of the
coroner's jury. U Is certain that the body-
was not robbed , for the knife , keys and
money that MayPeld was known to have
were found In his pockets.

TOPEKA , Kan. , June 23. ( Special to The
Dec. ) Some little Interest Is manifested In
Kansas political circles o\cr tlie part that
ex-Senator Ingalls Intends to take lit the
coming campaign. The worthy Mutc-smaii
did not show up ct the late republican state
convention , but It had no sooner adjourned
than his name appeared on the Copclund
register and ho was In touch with the newly
ilsctcd state central committee. It was re
ported at the time , but not confirmed , that
he ottered his sen Ices for the campaign.
Later the story was heralded abroad that he
had received an Oder to assume editorial
control of a big eastern magazine , and later
the story was revised to make It appear that
the flayer of Vcorhces may Identify himself
with one of the eastern metropolitan dallies.
In the meantime and notwithstanding
these varying rumors the state committee
has met and to It J. M. Chlsham of Atchl-
* cn mudc a format tender of Mr. Ingalls'
services In conducting at leu-it two rallies In
each of the seven congressional districts.
Joe Ady , J. H. Burton and the other senator
ial aspirants were not at all pleased with
the tender , for they knew too well that It
betokened a desire to again serve his state
at Washington. They were still less pleased
when the tender was accepted and the way
thus opened for Mr. Ingalls to work up sen
timent In his own Interest.
Evcrythng tends to the conclusion that
Ingalls will make the race If the feelers that
he Is putting out Indicate to him that his
chances are good Two years ago , In the
course of his big speech In Topeka , he said ,
In referring to the then approaching senator
ial elect on "I want to say to > ou all that
I am rut a candidate not now My scat In
the senate Is not vacant. When it Is , If I
desire to return , I will tee thfi people of
Kansas again In regard to the matter. '
As recently as last fall Mr. Ingalls an
nounced In the course of an address at Horton -
ton , this st"tc , that he had no desire for
any office at any time , either then or In
the future , but he had Colonel Djn Anthony
along to announce .mmedlately after the ad-
dreis that "Mr Ingalls has no right to saj
that he Is not a candidate When the people
of Kansas need him they will call on him
and he will serve. "
Mr. Ingall'i. seat Is not yet vacant Peffcr
will occupy It for two iears more but he
Is evidently convinced that the people of
Kan as need him , ank ( desires an oppor
tunity to convince them'of the fact
REPUBLICAN PltdgPECTS BRIGHT.
Kansas seems destined to go republican
this year. The fusion , between democracy
and populism that all out wiped out a ma
jority of $0,000 four yfears ago , and that
transformed It Into JL .minority two years
ago , will not be repeated In 1 ! > 94 The de
feat of the republican , party , v.hen that d < ?
feat means the continuation In power of the
present populist administration. Is not now
so ardently desired by democrats as to out
weigh al other considerations But even
weie the democratic fcarty In Kansas willing
on general principles' assist In another
defeat of republicanism , the action of the
recent populist convention on the woman
suffrage question woilhljallenate the bulk of
the democratic vote and tend to the nomina
tion and. , support of , anetralgbt-out bourbon
democratic ticket. And , witha straight-out
democratic tlck'et In tffa flefo republican sue- !
cess Is certain , forithe pojiullsta have always
lacked 23,000 votes"of a plurality.
The public utterances of such democrats
as David Overmeyer , ex-Governor Click.
United States Attorney Perry , Tulley Scott
Joe Lowe and United States Marshal Neeley
all go to show that there Is no other Inten
tion this year than the nomination on July
3 of a straight democratic ticket , on a plat
form which shall declare against woman
suffrage , prohibition and all other Issues.
Not a single democratic leader can be
found who has a good word to say of the
populist platform or who ventures to sug
gest that It may be endorsed by his party-
Even the strongest fuslonlsts of two years
ago are pronounced In their advocacy of the
nomination of a democratic ticket. A few
have rather hinted that George W. Clark , the
populist nominee for justice of the supreme
court , might possibly be endorsed , but the
suggestion has created such a storm among
the rank and file of the party that there Is
little probability that Mr. Clark's name will
appear on the democratic ticket. The Paola
Spirit , one of the leading democratic papers
In the state , In commenting on Clark's nom
ination last week , said *
BETRAYED HIS PARTY.
"For four years he has held office under a
populist attorney general , claiming all the
wh le to be a democrat , and using this claim
to get into democratic councils , and then
posting his populist "keepers on democratic
doings. The time has come for real demo
crats to shut the door In the face of alleged
democrats of the George Clark stripe "
The Topeka Democrat treats the matter In
about the same manner.
That this sentiment among democratic
leaders against fusion , even on Clark , is
shared by the lesser lights In the party Is
evidenced by the action being taken by the
democratic county conventions throughout
the state. Several Important conventions
were held Saturday and all declared strongly
_ ealnst fusion. In Bourbon county only such
men as W C. Perry and J D McClevcrly
were/ elected as delegates and every sugges
tion of fusion was shouted down In Sallno
county the following resolution was unani
mously adopted : "We emphatically denounc ;
the craze for woman suffrage as Injurious
to good morals , detrimental to the welfare
of the state , a step twenty centu
ries backward in the progress of the
world and a ruinous and destructive legac )
to succeeding generations " As the populist
platform Includes an endorsement of equal
suffrage , this resolution Is equivalent to a
declaration of war against populism. In
Coffey county all delegates were positive ! }
Instructed to vote for straight democratic
state and congressional tickets , and the cen
tral committee was ordered to call a count }
convention for the nomination of a straight
county ticket. - ' " -
With all this feell 'agalnst fusion partially
provoked by the signal failure of the populist
administration to perform a single creditable
act , but duo more to the endorsement of
woman suffrage by'the' populist convention ,
there Is scarcely ' , a possibility that the
enemies of the repytillcan party can unite
If they do not uniteA"ho republican plurality
this fall will be 25.01-0 votes ; if they should
unite , the chances or republican success will
etlll be good , but tli contest will be a close
and bitter one. , ' ( _

But the clerk didn't keep the change , to he

thus It's told.
