CREATE A SENSATION IN THE HOUSE Member Score * the Hccrctnrj- of Agriculture nnd Ohlonn 1'iiyii HIM ItemieclM to the Ilx- I ' Governor. , j j WASHINGTON , Jon. 2S. The house paescd the Indian appropriation bill today and en tered upon the consideration ot the agricul tural bill , but all Interest In these two meas ures was overshadowed by two very remark , abto speeches , one made by Mr , Grosvcnor of Ohio Attacking Ex-Governor Altgcld of Illinois , and the other by Mr. Do Armond of Missouri heaping ridicule on Secretary Mor ton for the recent Issue of a pamphlet en titled "The Farmers' Interest In Finance. " Mr. Grosvcnor's observations on the gov ernor ot lllnols were called forth by the lattcr'a speech last week , In which he charged that Mr. Bryan had been defeated by fraud and based his charges particularly on the enormous Increases of the vote In Ohio , whcro he alleged 00,000 votes wcro Illegally cant. Mr. Grcsvenor wae very personal In hla allusions to Mr. Altgcld , laying at his door much grave responsibility for the result ot Iho election. He , declared that nn appeal on the stump against Altgeldlsm never failed to arouse the populace where all else failed. Hd then analyzed the Ohio vote and ex plained the cause of Its Increase , calling at tention to the fact that democratic vote In the ntato had Increased proportionately much more than the republican. Mr. Do Armond replied very briefly to Mr. Grosvcnor , but It was his subsequent at tack on Secretary Morton which created the sensation. Mr. Do Armond Is a democrat , an ardent advocate of silver and therefore his attack on a democratic cabinet official who hr.d been meat active on the gold side of the controversy excited ICES surprise than It otherwise would have done. It had al ready been noised about that some inembert Intended to make nn attack on the Decretory , and the mcidbcra crowded to hear him. Will : biting sarcasm nnd rasping Irony he scorei h the secretary of agriculture , taking as his text a recent publication sent out under a frank entitled "The Farmers' Interest In Finance. " The pamphlet reviewed the silver agitation to show that poverty and Illiteracy character ized the states which had been foremost In the demand for the restoration of silver , Mr. Do Armond asserted that the demand for silver came chiefly from the fanners whoso Interests the secretary visa supposed to look after , and asked contemptuously who cxcuoo there was for opposing them. Ho went on to say that there were factr which some men lost sight of that were known to all others and one of them was lhat the Illiterate colored vote represents McIClnlcy'a majority In most of the state ? which he carried. TAKES .MORTON SERIOUSLY. Ho said ho took Morton seriously days. The world was no longer Interestei In his views on finance , although It mlgh look with expectation for any otviervation ho might make on the woodchuck , the hedge hog or the eye of the potato. "It was once said of nn eminent statesmen , he continued that the secretary stood alone , that modcn uegcucrncy had not reached him. It couli bo said -of Morton .tbat the secretary stooi alone , modcrn-Tlegcrieracy "had t\oi'paeact \ him. him.Addressing Addressing the republican slflc , ho appealet to them to recognize secretary Morton's aer vice , oven though they refused to accep responsibility for him. "Of course , " aald he , "You will not keep him In his present position , but you mlgh put him In the national museum. " . "Wo will put him In a better place" In terruptcd Mr. Stone of Pennsylvania.'i \ will send him back to Nebraska. " "Why should you desire to punish Ncbran ka ? " shouted Mr. Kem , populist of Nebraska amid shouts of laughter. "You Intimated that I took unfair advantage tago ot Governor AltReld , " put In Mr. vcnor. "Why do you attack Secretary Mor ton here , where he has no opportunity to re ply. " "Because. " retorled Mr. Do Armond afte n pause , "I know the gentleman from Ohl had contracted a habit of speaking hero a least once a day , and I felt that ho couli speak for him , if necessary. " ( Renewci laughter. ) In conclusion Mr. Do Armond again com mended to the prayerful consideration of th republicans "this curlwlty of modern pollt leal life , " whcae peculiarity was that h talked when he was not writing and wrot when he was not talking , and did both when he was not thinking. He said In closing Full many a whim of j > urc t ray seren Thn dark unfathomed dreams of Mortoi bear. Full many a wheel Is formed to whirr un And waste Its flectncss 'neath J. Sterling hair. Great laughter and applause. GROSVENOU SCORES ALTGELD. Mr. Grosvcnor got the floor during the do liatc on the agricultural bill and under th "latitude alio'wcd proceeded to Interest th members with a reply to some * remarks mad by ex-Governor Altgcld ut a dinner give In the latter'a honor last week , The loyalty honor and Integrity of the state of Ohio , h ialil , demanded a reply. AH too much of wha Altgcld had fiald on the occasion Mr. Groa veil or remarked , he would bo silent , bu there was one paragraph which ho could no pass over. That paragraph Mr. Grosvono had read , It called attention of the sweep lug assertion that llryan had been dcfraudc of his election owing to the alleged fact thn In Ohio last fall there were east 20000 more votes than In 1S92. This , Altgeld said indicated an Increase of population of 1,000 , 000 , whereas ho charged the Increase ha not been more than two-thirds of IU Fror this ho concluded that 90,000 ot the vote wcro fraudulent. "I do not wonder , " eald he , "that a gen tlcmanUio led a victorious majority Ij th elty of Chicago , very recently , and then wa aUiolutcly overwhelmed In almost nil th counties and voting precincts of Illlnol should select his own state as an lllustratlo of the quality of unfalrnesa which had bee : the Index ot this election , Ex-flovcrnor Alt geld 1s the last one , In my judgment , wh ought to drag from the rapidly closing wave of oblivion the history of the recent clcctloi Whatever happened In Ohio was duo to largo number of factors * no one of which wa more powerful and potent to the victory o the republican party In that etato than wa the existence as a leader of the democrat ! parly of Governor AHge-ld of Illinois , Whe til vise during the campaign failed to arous in outburst of tremendous enthusiasm I always followed the declaration that one o the thing , ] wo were aiming at was to purg the fair record of Illinois ot the name In olilc of Altgeld , He It was who In tbo Chlcag convention demanded as was published an declared everywhere the Introduction o Ihoso planks of the platform ( hat array c hundreds of thousands at democrats tnde pendent ot the tariff and of the curfe-nc " Ifinlnst the democratic party. Why It I "not very strange , Mr , Chairman , that tha cenllrmun should feel same degree of ic ipanslblllty for the results or some dcirre of soreness " HONKST ELECTION IN OHIO. Continuing Mr. Groavenor said there 1m cot been a dlshoneit flection In Ohio to years , and bo gave the credit of thU to th "joint efforts of the leading men of both po lltlcal parties. " Ho then proceeded to de icrlbe the Ohio election laws and method and called attention to the fact the hrt , wt percentage of IncrescM In the Ohio vol occurred in ono of the democratic district ( represented by Mr. Layton ) He also re pelled the Insinuation that tbo republican u d lost ground In Ohio at the lain elcctloi Where Buehnell got 00,000 plurality { . nly had 17,000 majority , This year , ho said , ticrc WAS absolute fusion of all the opposl- lon to the republican ticket and yet McKln- cy had 52,000 majority. Mr. Hromwcll , republican of Ohio , fol- owed In further substantiation of Mr. Grosvo. or'fi statements. These two speeches drew a brief , but some , tint sarcastic response from Mr. DC Armorid. lut , he said , ho had no defilro to defend Gov- rnor Altgcld , He paid a high tribute to he men who made up the Chicago convcn- Ion , who , ho said , wcro actuated by deep onvlctlon and repudiated the suggestion hat any man had dictated the Chicago plat- orm. Perhaps In some- other arena , he said , Ir. Grosvcnor and cx-Govcrnor Altgeld might able to decide the worth or worthless- s ot their relative statements , but , ho tatcd , rather sarcastically , that ox-Governor Altgcld had always made his charges In the > pcn whcro they could bo met. Among the bills was one to pension Mary A. Vlccl , widow ot Major W. A. ganger , ntty-flfth Illinois Infantry , at the rate of 5 per month. A number of amendments to the Indian bill vcro made bcforo It was passed , The salaries and expenses of the Dawes commission wcro reduced from $50.000 to $43,000. The Items appropriating $25,000 for the rrlgatlon of the lands of the southern Utea n Utah and $10,000 for the erection of a irldgo ncrcss the Big Wine river on the Shoshone reservation In Wyoming were stricken out on points of order. Amendments to Impose a flno of $100 ot mprlsonmcnt of 30 days upon any one whc ook from the public lands aboriginal an- .Iqultk's ; to require Indian agents to make semi-annual detailed statements ot all In dlan moneys passed through their hands ; ilaclng the- children of Indian women who lad married white men on an equal footing with other members ot the tribe In the matter ot Inheriting tribal property and rights wcro adopted. On a point of order jy Mr. Cannon , the last sixteen pages of the bill to ratify the treaty with the Shoshone and Arapahoes of Wyoming made April 22 , 1S9G , nnd the Turtle Mountain band of Chlp- icwas In North Dakota , made October 22 1892 , were stricken out. The Item to remove til restrictions existing against the leasing , sale or conveyance of the allotted lands of the i'uyallup reservation in Pierce county , Wash , ngton , was ruled out. An amendment of , 'crcd by Mr. Mondcll , republican of Wyom ing , to appropriate $3,000 for the repair of s bridge across the Wyoming river was adopted. . At 5:15 : p. m. the houtc adjourned. SK.VATOIl AI,1HAVANTS TO KXOAV. AVonlil Inquire Into Authority of Koroelnxiirc Proceed I IIKN. WASHINGTON. Jan. 28. In the senate today the senate bill was passed extending the time for building the St. Paul & Manitoba railway through the White Earth Indian res ervation. A number of petitions urging the speedy ratification of the Anglo-American peace treaty were received. Mr. Pcflcr , populist of Kansas , staled In this connection that he was recslvlng a gieat number of letters as to the treaty and that the sentiment of Kan sas , particularly among clerical gentlemen appeared to be strongly favorable to early ratification Mr. Allen , populist of Nebraska , askei Immediate consideration for a resolution ho offered directing the committee on Pacific railroads to Inquire Into the powers of the president and attorney general to conducl foreclcsuro proceedings against the Paclfii roads ; also their powers to enter into agree ments as to the sale prior to the actua foreclosure , and directing the attorney gen eral In the meantime to refrain from further action. Reading from the law , Mr. Allen arguc ( that the flist duty of the president was to redeem first Hens and not to foreclose. The president , ho said , should Tie. bound by the law < ) s much as the humblest citizen of the land. If this point was raised It was likely to defeat the .foreclosure. Mr. Clark Interrupted to express surprls that Mr. Allen , claiming to be the frleiu of the people , should pay out their money for these prior liens. CANNOT BE BLUFFED. - Mr. Allen responded that ho could not be moved by bluster. The law was plain and the duty mandatory on the president. The discussion assumed a technical leg.i character as to the construction of the law , Mr. Platt , republican of Connecticut , ami Mr. Bacon , democrat of Georgia , taking part. Mr. _ Platt said he coufesswd to some doubt as to the right ot the prc.-Ident to re sort to foreclosure Instead of redemption but he was Inclined to believe the power ex isted. At another point , Mr. Allen declared that the president could not foreclose until he declined to recognize the law , and in the language of Boas Tweed , asked : "What are yqu going to do about It ? " It was tlmo to stop this tinkering of the attorney genera ; as to these roads. The executive brand had taken from congress the Cuban and other foreign questions , and now there was an. effort to remove from congress all con trol of our domestic affairs. The resolution finally went over In order to allow Mr. Thurston , republican of Ne braska to address the - It , t-cnato on tomor row. row.Tho debate on the bill for an International monetary conference was then , taken up. Sir. Chandler , republican of New Hamp shire , who , In the absence of Mr. Wolcott has charge of the measure , addressed the senate , outlining the purpose of the bill He said : "This bill represents a movemen beginning In the United States for the cstab llahmcnt of bemetalllsm ; the unlimited coin age of silver and gold as standard mon y The provisions of the bill are in the fern desired by Its friends ; substantially In th language at tlnvo previous authorization under which United States delegations wer appointed to International monetary confer enccs and of cmp under which no acttor was taken. " Mr. Chandler then outlined the provision of the bill ami quoted from Mr. McKlnley' letter of acceptance , saying Mr. McKlnle ; would take every means to promote an Inter national agreement. Mr. Chandler clorod by saying ; "This bll for an International bimetallic confcrenc has been deliberately presented In a bed ) a majority ntUmo members urn In favo of the free coinage of silver by the Unltei States , Independent of other nations , am who believe that no successful result wll eonin from the conference. Hut It Is jire rented to them In the belief , nnd after th absurance that they are not unwilling t allow the experiment tn he again tried undc favorable auspices , and with a universe hope that It may secure thn adoption of s system of bimetallism by the leading com merclal nations of the world , It Is als. . presented * In the form which Is preferred b ; the friends of the measure , who have fall ! that It will prova useful , effective and sue cessful In Its great ptirpoco. It depends to Its passage unon thn votes of these senator who have no such faith. They can dlroc their force against It. Such a result , Mi President. I will not anticipate ; but wll ask , In the public Intcren , for the speed ) and unanimous adoption of tbo bill as It I now proposed for the consideration and decl slon of the senate. " Mr. Chandler appealed to Mr. Cannon I withdraw his amendment , which seeks t have the United States take tbo Initially and entire execution of the conference , Th countries ot the western hemisphere , with the possible exception ot Canada , doubtlcs favored blmeUlllbm , and It was toward th great nations of Europe that friends of th conference must look for co-operation. Mr Chandler appealed also to Mr. Stewart not I preclpitato a general free coinage Issue b ; urging his amendment , directing the mint tn bn opened to tree and unlimited colnag within ono month 'after the failure of conference.

WASHINGTON , Jan. 28. ( Special Tele gram. ) Senator Thurston gave notlco today n the senate that on tomorrow ho would reply to Senator Allen's speech , relative to ho letter's resolution of Inquiry regarding ho proposed settlement of the Union Pacific lebt , so far as the government Is concerned. Senator Thurston will take the position that 'or ' fifteen years the people of the wcat hove nslsted that foreclosure proceedings should jo commenced on the part of the govern ment , and the road be taken out ot the liands of the United States. Mr. Thurston , speaking of the reply which he contemplalcs making , said It would not be In the nature of an extended argument , but would simply present to the senate facts well known to the people of the country traversed by the Union Pacific system ; that they had now the opportunity of foreclosing the mortgage ; that a very large upset price had been offered , and he believed that the great section of country through which the road passed \\ould emphatically endorse tlio position taken by the president and attorney general In securing what he believed to bo a fair settlement of a most perplexing question. Senator Allen has had the speech which he made today In contemplation for some tlmo. It Is along the well known lines of a sen ator turning everything possible to good ac counting , for he has still great political am bition , and Is not forgetful that a sen atorial election takes place In ' 9D. INDIAN DILL PROVISIONS. Mr. Gamble succeeded In securing amend ments to the Indian appropriation bill to day , providing for an appropriation of $10- 000 each for the Chamberlain and Rapid City Indian schools. Ho failed In his efforts to secure $30,000 for the survey of Indian allotments , but states that ho can secure an amendment In the senate , and that he has had the pledge of the senate commit tee on Indian affairs that the conferees ap pointed will Insist upon retaining that feature of the Indian appropriation bill. The defeat of Mr. Gamble on this proposition was the first serious setback this popular congressman has had so far as the house Is concerne.1 , since his congressional career commenced. The Indian appropriation bill was passed with the usual provisions as to the Genoa Indian school and for Santee , Sioux , Omahas , Wlnnebagoes and Poncas , located In Nebraska. Halner was success ful In getting through an amendment ex tending tlmo of payments on all Indian reservations for one year. This amendment very seriously affects the Interests of settlers In Gage and Thurston counties. Mr. Melklejohn secured the passageof his bill today , granting an extension of tureo years to the Eastern Nebraska & Gulf rail way through Thurston county. The senate passed a bill for four years , but the house committee refused to grant more than three. This. It Is understood , Is satisfactory to the parties who have the matter In charge. MRS. THUUSTON'S RECEPTION. There was everything suggestive of Omaha today about the reception given by Mrs. Thurston at her apartments at the Cairo. In addition to Mrs. Thurston , there were In the receiving party , Miss Emily Wakeley , Miss Daisy Doane , Miss Lynn Curtis pf Omaha ; Miss Thomas of Cedar Rapids , la. , and Misses Stewart of Wisconsin. The rooms were beautifully decorated with palms and cut flowera , and during the hours of the reception , from 3 to G , a constant stream of .people passed through , many of them being former NebrasUnns. Among thoje who called to pay their respects to the wife of the junior senator , and Omaha's trio of lovely girls , were : Lieutenant Pershlng , formerly military Instructor at the Univer sity of Nebraska ; Colonel and .Mrs , Gushing General Hawkins , Mrs. Cnarles Humphrey Mr. John Patrick , Mrs. Warren , wife of Senator Warren of Wyoming , and Mrs. Drown , wife of Senator Drown of Utah. It was remarked that there were more young men present at Mrs. Thurston's than at any afternoon reception this season , which was probably attributable to the presence of th Omaha girls , who are creating a most favorable - able Impression In Washinston society. The first batch of public building bills which the house proposes to try on Speaker Reed , some twenty In number. Includes an appropriation of $800.000 for the Omaha post- office. Notwithstanding that nearly 330 members have signed a petition to take up public building bills at this session. Speaker Reed continues obdurate , and , while he has not In so many words refused to allow their consideration. Is opposed to any appropria tions of this character with the treasury In Its present depleted condition. The pooling bill has died a bornln' . The house committee had expected to take up this subject tomorrow , but a pronounced public sentiment manifested Itself , and It has been decided to abandon any considera tion of the pooling measure during the pres ent session of congress. Mr. Rosowatcr leaves for Philadelphia and New York tomorrow on his way west. There U a growing opinion that President Cleveland will withdraw the r.nmo of W. D. McIIugh for 'district judge and nominate Instead Mr. Munger. It Is understood that the president refuses to nominate a repub lican , and will Insist that this democratic nomination be cither confirmed or rejected. Iowa postmasters commissioned : Orrin L.

Artjiur Palmer , the murderer of his mother , bWher and sister In Mamaroneck , Westchesfer coUnty , N. Y. , who was arrested at the PJr.rtfgr's hotel yes terday afternoon , ' will bo taken to the scene of his crime. He spent 111 , ' , night at the Four Courts In the cuntody mj an officer , who guarded him .closely , because. It was feared ho would do something desperate. The chief of police thinks Palmer Is crazy. Chfef of Dstectlvcs Desmond sweated Palmer for four hours In the most approved police fashion , but obtained' nothing from him. The prisoner admitted that he la Palmfir.He talked of his home , his family , the trouble Ids wife had with the family , of their attempts to poison him with arsenic , of their deserving death at hb hands , but all the time ho kept Insisting that he did not kill tl.em. He said that Eomc of the neighbors must have done It. There was scaic'cly a statement made' by him that ho did not contradict during the conversation except the ono that he did not do the shoot ing. ing.Palmer Palmer told Desmond that he and his family were Quakers and that he prayed a great deal. He had the old delusion about getting a message from God to study re ligion and go out to reform people. If his conversation was genuine and not made up to show insanity the man Is certainly of unsomid mind. The police here so consider him. him.Today Today , when spoken to about the matter , Palmer would not say a word about the crime , but said that he was willing to go back to New York. A tdegram was received this forenoon from Sheriff Derry of Wcst- chestcr county , New York , to the effect that a deputy had been otarted for St. LouU , and Palmer will probably bo In Ms care tomorrow. Palmer was arrested on Information of Sheriff Johnson , who sent a telephone message from Albany , N , Y. , to the chief of police asking him to take Into custody Paul Jones. The message said the man's real name was Arthur Palmer nnd that he had murdered his family In Mamoreneck , Westehrstor county , N. Y. The Information that Palmer was at the Planters under the alias of Jones came from Mmself. Ho had written a letter on Plant ers hotel stationery to Charles Holden , In strtictor In the Grammar school , 244 East Ono Hundred and Twepty-flfth street , New York : "Dear Sir It Is very painful for mo to wrlto you.

Near her feet was a young son , some 10 years old , with his lies 1 mashed and deep gashes cut In his face. On tlio bed was the -year-old daughter with her head crushed almost to a * jelly , also the little iaby boy , who had been treated In a like manner. The two last had evidently been asleep when killed. In committing the terrible deed , Rash had used three pieces of soapstone , which were found at different places In the house. The floor was a mass of blood. When the sheriff and his asslstanls entered the rocm , Rash was sitting at the window , and while he called the sheriff by name , made no offer of resistance. When asked what kind of ai weapon he used to kill his family with , he asked for the bible that he might ; lvc his testimony. Rash had been attend ing revival meetings at Grace church , and , It Is supposed , that his ml ml became unbal anced , which resulted In the terrible trag edy , as the murder had evidently been committed on his return from a meeting last night. As Mrs. Rash haj not retired for the night , she had evidently had a terri ble struggle with her husband before receiv ing the blow which resulted In her death. The house was cold and the victims of Rash were frozen , but neighbors took charge of the remains , and they will iccelve the neces sary care. Rash's Insanity Is questioned. There was some talk of lynching the pris oner , who seemed to b worried , as he men tioned the question of being mobbed , to the sheriff. KXHS HIS 0\VX LIFE.

' LINCOLN Jon. 28. ( Special , ) The nt- empl of Pollard of Cass to procure judicious cglslatlon In favor of the beet eugnr In- Justry showed that , considered as an enter prise , It had few friends among the majority ot the house. House roll No. 127 , by Smith , of Richardson , Is the only remaining meas ure lo attract consideration. It provides for the Usuo of $250,000 In state bonds for the erection ot n factory to be under Iho llrcctlon of the governor , who hap po\\cr to appoint manager and other officials , thus making It a political Institution pure and simple. All pars legislation received Its death today In the indefinite postponement of one bill to prohibit railway companies 'ram granting transportation to others than employes , and of another to compel them lo lo that very thing for stale officers and mem bers of the legislature. Recent attempts to reduce salaries received another Impetus In the action of the house on Shull's bill to reduce the salaries ot the I'Mretarles of the Stnto Board of Trans portation. This was reported by the com mittee for Indefinite postponement , but Shull got through a motion to nonconcur and place the bill on general file. In the dlscuralon In committee of the whole of the bill repealing the Russian thistle law , a peculiar feature developed was the fact that the same people In the northwest who , two years ago , were strongly In favor of the law , are now bitterly op posed to It. It wan expected that the report of the com- mlltro on privileges and elections , recom mending the ousting' of the four republican members from Douglas ? county , would bo presented. But the dynamite did not cx- | ) lodc. The concurrent resolution attacking the financial record of Sonalor John M. Tlmrstou from this senate was read for the first tlmo and passed to a second reading. OMAHA CHARTER. A number of Omaha persons have been In Lincoln today to confer with Senator HowelV In regard to the Omaha charter. Herman Kountze held a long conference with Iho senator today , with reference to several provisions of the proposed charter. Mr. Kountze Is warmly opposing the provision , relating to th ? election of but nine council- men. He urged Senator Ilowell to permit a change to be made , so as to Increase the number to eighteen. Senator Ilowell rte- cllne-d for the present to concede the point. Mr. Kountze also objected to the tax com missioner , which official , according to the original draft of the charter , wa * to be ap pointed by the mayor. Senator Ilowell said he was willing to agree that the tax com missioner shall be elected Instead of ap pointed , but ho will not consent lo the el I ml- nation of Iho office altogether. Another change consented to by Senator Ilowell places the appointment of the Flro and Police board in the hands of the gov ernor exclusively. Peter Blrkhauser , silver democrat , Is also hard at work to prevent any change In the piesent fire and pollca board law. He has been working with BBV- eral members of the senate tday , urging Ihae no change be made. The populist members of the legislature , however , seem to favor a return to the old law. In this connection a delegation of Omnha clergymen appeared on the scene today to urge that no .changa In the present flro- and police board lav. be made. Each member of the legislature was today handed a' petition , which reads as follows : , To the Honorable .House of'IlPliresenta- tlves ot the State of NebrnSkti'VTwenty- llfth Session , and to Each Individual Mem ber Thereof We. the undersigned petition ers residents , taxpayers and elnctora of the city of Om.iha , res-pectfully nslt your hon orable body to enact no legislation unset tling or changing the present law govern ing1 the lite anil pollca departments of our city government.
