SENATOR MILLS' REMARKS,
A Rap at the Protection Doctrine An
Echo of the O'Neill-tToy Contested
Election Case la the House Cele
brated Claimant Dead.
Washington, April 24. Mr. Hepburn
(Rep., Ia.) still persists in bis determina
tion to hang on the flank of the Demo
cratic majority and by constantly har
rassing them, force the consideration of
pension bills reported from the Friday
night sessions. Again in the house today
he objected to the approval of the
journal and forced a roll call. The jour
nal was approved. An interesting question
was presented at this moment by Mr.
Bartholdt (Rep.. Mo.). It was an echo
of the O'Neill-Joy contested election case.
Mr. Bartholdt claimed the .floor as a
question of privilege and sent to the
clerk's desk to have read a series of reso
lutions adopted at a mass meeting in St.
Louis last Saturday, declaring Charles
F. Joy to have been illegally deprived of
his seat as a representative from the
Eleventh Missouri district.
Mr. O'Neill, tho subject of the attack,
demanded tho floor as a matter of priv
ilege and was proceeding to reply to the
imputation that he had obtained a seat
to which ho was not entitled, when Mr.
Wise (Dem., W. V.) raised the point that
Mr. O'Neill was also out of order. The
speaker sustained the point, but Mr.
O'Neill would not sit down. He ha
rangued the house while the speaker was
vainly endeavoring to restore order. He
offered to submit the question of his elec
tion to a special committee and abide by
its decision.
At last tho speaker was forced to order
Mr. O'Neill to take his seat.

In tho Senate.
Washington,- April 24. After tho
morning hour the tariff bill was laid be
fore the sanato and Senator Mills (Tex.)
was recognized. There was a good at
tendance in kho galleries and a number
of representatives from the other house
were present, this being the last day of
debate on the bill as a whole.
Senator Mill opened by saying that the
bill did not entirely meet his approval.
But all legislation was necessarily a mat
ter of compromise. He might offer
some amendments. But if they
were rejected he should vote for the
bill. It was a party measure and he
believed every Democrat should sink his
own preferences thus far. He would,
he caid, have levied a duty on coffee, tea
and sugar. The Democratic theory was
that tho government should insure to
every man the enjoyment of every
natural right. He should have put on
the free list all articles that require re
manufacture for consumption. If that
were not sufficient he should have put a
tax on accumulated weaitn. All ob
stacles in the way of employment of
labor should be stricken down. The
policy of protection, he argued, had
failed to build
agriculture.

CELEBHATKD CLAIMANT IS DEAD.
Will in in McGarrahan Passes Away at a
Washington Hospital.
Washington, April 24. William Mc
Garrahan, the celebrated claimant to the
New Idria mine, died at Providence
hospital at 11:45 a. m. He had been a
familiar figure at the Capitol for years
and was well known to a majority of
the senators and members, a majority
of whom were believers in the justice of
his claim. A bill to permit a trial of his
case in the court of claims was passed by
congress, but was vetoed by President
Harrison. Several other bills had been
passed by one house or the other and a
score of committees had reported favor
ably on this claim.
Final Settlement Expected.
Washington, April 2 1. A final settle
ment of the government's long standing
complications with the Pacific railroads
is confidently expected as a result of
the activity concerning the roads in con
gress, in the courts and in the executive
departments. The investigation by the
house conimittee on Pacific roads has
brought out the fact that all parties in
interest are gradually merging toward a
common ground of settlement although
they are still separated on details. The
government's proposition has already
been completed by Attorney General
Olney and is being printed for tho use
of the congressional committee next Fri
day. Senate Confirmations.
Washington, April 24. The senate
made the following confirmations: Mar
shal of the United States, John E. Lynch,
for the Eastern district of Missouri: re
ceiver of public moneys, Aloysus Lynch
of Leadville, Colo., at Leadville, Colo.

Washington, April 1'4. Representa
tive Jerry Simpson is reported much better.
New Yokk, April 24.' Three snots
from a revolver were fired in the court
of common pleas and in the presence of
Judge Bischoff, not one of them taking
effect. The shooter is Michael Donnelly,
an iron merchant, and the man at whom
the shots were fired is P. J. McArdle.
Donnelly was the plaintiff in a case
against McArdle, arising over some part
nership accounts. In court, when the
case was called, Donnelly suddenly
pulled a revolver, pointed it at McArdle
and fired three times before he could be
disarmed and arrested. McArdle was
unhurt.

Washington, April 18. The house
devoted tho entire day Wednesday to de
bate on the consular and appropriation
bills. It touched a wide variety of sub
jects and at times was brim full of in
teresting personalities. The Hawaiian
policy of the present administration
came in for a good share of attention.
The appointment of Van Alen aa minis
ter to Italy provoked a very extended
discussion. It was held up to ridicule
by the Republicans, who intimated that
it was a direct, reward for his $50,000
contributed to the Democratic campaign
fund. The Democrats, in defending the
appointment, tried to counter on the
Harrison administration by detailing the
history of the 400,000 campaign fund
raised by ex-Postmaster General Wana
maker. Washington, April 18. Before begin
ning the tariff debate Wednesday in the
senate Senator Gallinger(N. H.) gave no
tice that he would speak on tho tariff next
Friday and Senator Palmer that ho
would speak Tuesday next.
Washington, April 19. Thursday in
the senate was almost entirely consumed
by a speech against the pending tariff
bill by Senator Perkins (Cal.).
Senator Peffer stirred up quite a hor
net's nest by calling up his resolution for
the appointment of a committeo on com
munications to receive the petitions of
Coxey's anny. He explained the object
of tho resolution as being a preparation
for the proper reception of this body of
men, and to givo them every facility to
present their grievances to congress.
Mr. Peffer was followed by Senator
Allen (Pop., Neb.) who, while not entire
ly approving of Coxey's action, asserted
the perfect right of Coxey and
his followers to come to Washing
ton if they chose. And not only that,
they had a right to come into the capitol
and occupj tho galleries of the senate
and it would be unwise on tho part of
the senate to refuse them this privilege.
They had also the right to be heard,
and no man, whether he be a
senator or citizen had a right to deny
them that right. He bitterly denounced
the report that Gen. Ordway of the
national guard of the district of Colum
bia was preparing to mobilize the militia
at tho confines of the District of Colum
bia. Washington. April 19. The house is
making very slow progress with the
diplomatic and consular appropriation
bills. Almost the entire day Thursday
was devoted to thrashing over the old
straw in the Hawaiian controvesy. The
text used as a basis for the debate a mo
tion to cut off the salary of the Hawaiian
minister was defeated when the vote
was taken without division. About 4
o'clock half the membership of the house
suddenly faded away to attend the open
ing ball game of the season and when
tnis acc was oDservea, Mr. cannon car
ried the committee of the whole on an
amendment to prevent the increase of
the Mexican secretary of legation.

Washington, April 21. At the con
clusion of the morning hour, the house
today resumed consideration of the dip
lomatic and consular appropriation bill
in committee of the whole. Several
amendments looking toward a reduction
in items were offered by Mr. Can
non (Rep., Ills.). Mr. Hepburn
(Rep., Ia.) characterized as cap
tious the raising of the point of
no quorum at Friday night's session by
the Democrats when pension bills were
before the house. He should retaliate
until the other side showed a spirit of
fairness. At the end of an hour the
committee rose and the remainder of the
day was devoted to eulogies upon the
late Senator Gibson of Louisiana.
Washington, April 21. The reading
of the house bill for the protection of
birds and animals in Yellowstone park
was interrupted today by Mr. Allen
(Pop., Neb.), who was desirous of
answering Mr. Hawley's speech of yes
terday. He was not permitted to do so,
however. Before the Yellowstone park
bill was disposed of the morning hour
expired, and Senator Dolph proceeded
with his speech begun yesterday.
Washington, April '.'. Senator Wash
burne (Minn.) consumed almost the en
tire afternoon Monday in a speech
against the tariff bill, which was mainly
a protest against the abrogation of the
reciprocity clause of the McKinley bill.
He believed the Wilson bill, in some
form, would be enacted into law. In
the few minutes that remained between
the time Senator Washburne concluded
hi3 speech, and the hour of 5, Senator
Dolph gave an installment of his speech.
