WASHINGTON, Dec. 7.—The repub
lican members of the house of repre
sentatives gave their unanimous ap
proval to the house financial bill re
cently introduced and recommended
its immediate consideration and pas
sage. This was accomplished at the
caucus held in the hall of the house
during the afternoon by the adoption
» of the following resolution:
Resolved, That house roll 1, entitl
ed "A bill to define and fix the stan
dard of value, to maintain the parity
of all forms of money issued or coin
ed by the United States end for other
purposes, be and the same is hereby
approved, and its Immediate consid
eration by the house and passage aft
er reasonable debate is recommended.
In pursuance of this resolution Over
street of Indiana, who Introduced and
who 1b In general charge of it, tomor
row will submit a resolution asking
that a special rule be made for the
consideration of this measure.
The terms of this special rule are
practically agreed upon and provide
that debate will begin next Mon
• day with a final vote at the close of
the week.
The unanimous approval given to the
bill came after two hours' discussion
and tne udoptlon of two amendments
approved by the framers of the bill.
When the meeting began Cannon of
Illinois surrendered the chair to Hep
burn of Iowa in order to present his
views on some modifications he
thought desirable. These related to
the national banking features of the
bill and Cannon gave it as his Individ
ual opinion that this branch of the
subject might be iietter modified or
omitted. He distinctly stated, how
ever, that he supported the bill as a
whole and would vote for it, which
was further shown when he voted for
the resolution of approval. Cannon's
suggestions did not take the form of
an amendment and were not pressed.
The main amendment was proposed
by the framers of the bill to clear up
some ambiguity of the present law.
It is to be a new section, numbered
9, and is as follows:
Section 9—That section 10 of an act
approved July 12, 1882, entitled "An
act to enable national banking asso
ciations to extend their corporate exis
tence,” be and the same is amended
so as to read as follows:
Section 10—That upon a deposit of
bonds as described in sections 5159
and 5160 of the Revised Statutes the
association making the same shall be
entitled to receive from the comptrol
ler of the currency circulating notes of
different denominations in blank, reg
istered and countersigned as provided
y. by law. not exceeding the par value of
the United States bonds so transferred
and so delivered and at no time shall
the total amount of such notes issu *d
to any such association exceed the
amount paid in of its capital stock:
and the provision 5171 and 5176 of the
Revised Statutes are hereby repealed.
Another amendment is to section 4
of the bill, inserting the word "re
demption” before “fund” to make
more plain where redeemed notes and
certificates are to be held.
IMPORTANT BILLS IN THE SENATE
Senators Unload Their Pocket* of Pel
Measures by the Hundred.
WASHINGTON. Dec. 7.—Nearly
800 bills and joint resolutions, several
important concurrent resolutions and
petitions numbering hundreds, were
presented to the senate today. A ma
jority of the bills were old stagers.
A few were of national Interest and
importance.
Aldrich had the honor of introduc
ing the first measure in the senate.
It was the financial bill, drawn by the
senate committee on finance, of which
Aldrich is the chairman, and prob
ably was the most important measure
introduced during the day.
Resolutions were offered providing
for an investigation by the judciary
committee of all phases of polygamy
lecently presented in connection with
what is known as the Robetls case;
expressing the sympathy of the sen
ate for the Boers in their war with
Gnat Britain and declaring that Sen
ator N. B. Scott of West Virginia is
not entitled to a seat in the senate.
Harris, populist of Kansas, was ap
pointed a temporary member of the
committee on privileges and elections.
The appointment Is important ana
significant because the committee ha;
under consideration the Quay, Clark
and Scott contests.
Senator Harris has been generally
regarded as antagonistic to the right
01 a governor to fill a senatorial va
cancy where the legislature falls to
elect, as the committee is close, so far
as can be surmised, from the records
of senators, his vote may determine
the character of the report to be sub
mitted to the senate for Its action in
Henaor Quay's case.
Among the most important hills In
troduced were the following

SENATOR HAYWARD PASSES AWAY
III* Long Struggle for Life Kndi on the
Morning of the 5th.
NEBRASKA CITY, Dec. 6.—Senator
M. L. Hayward died at 6:20 yesterday
morning. He did not rally from the
romatose condition into which he sank
but passed away as silently and peace
fully as if he had fallen into a natural
slumber. His last hours were painless.
His breathing gradually grew shorter
and his heart weaker until the mo
ment of final dissolution. His last sign
of consciousness was at 5 p. rn. Sun
day when he indicated by a slight nod
of the head that he desired a drink
of water.
The scene at the bedside of the
dylug senator during his last hour*'
was affecting in the extreme. When
he began to sink so rapidly yesterday
morning It was seen that death was
near at hand and the members of his
family prepared themselves for the
worst. All through the long, lonely
hours of the night the faithful wife
who has watched constantly during his
twenty-five days' illness, kept her vigil,
refusing even for a moment to leave
the bedside.
His daughter. Miss Mattie and son
William P., with his brother, Major
E. H. Hayward of Davenport, watched
throughout the night and were pres
ent at the closing scene, also I)r. Whit
ten, Judge Paul .lessen and .John W.
Dixon. The only absent member cl
the family is the eldest son, Dr. Edwin
P. Hayward, who is a surgeon in the
army and stationed in the Philippines.
The members of the family are pros
trate with grief. As yet no arrange
ments have been made for the fu
neral.
LINCOLN, Neb., Dec. C—The gov
ernor received a message soon after
reaching his office that Senator Hay
ward had expired at an early hour.
He at once called in the adjutant gen
eral and the custodian of the build
ings was directed to display the state
bouse flag at half mast.
The governor sent to Mrs. Hayward
the following telegram:
"LINCOLN, Neb., Dec. 5.—Mrs. M.
L. Hayward, Nebraska City, Neb.: Ac
cept my sincere sympathy in this sad
hour of your bereavement. The peo
ple of our state mourn with you for
the loss of your distinguished husband
and one of our foremost citizens.
Freely command me for any service I
may be able to render you at this
time.
“W. A. POYNTER, Governor.”
At noon Governor Poynter issued
this proclamation:
"To the People of the State of Ne
braska: Monroe L. Hayward, senator
of the United States, died at his home
in Nebraska City, Neb., at 6:20 o’clock
this morning. In him the state has
lest one of its most illustrious citizens
and faithful servants. His participa
tion ip the early organization of our
state government was marked by an
unswerving fidelity of a very high or
der, and the care manifested by hitn
in all matters of public importance
showed the zeal with which he guarded
the Interests of his adopted state. The
close of his too brief career as a sen
ator of the United States is regretted
by all. His private life was gentle
and noble and his firmness of disposi
t’on won the respect of all. In sor
rowing testimony of the loss which has
fallen upon our state I direct that on
the day of the funeral all flags upon
the armories and public buildings of
the state, counties, school districts and
municipalities will be displayed at half
staff until the day following the fu
neral. In testimony whereof I have
hereunto set my hand and caused to
be affixed the great seal of Nebraska.
Done at Lincoln this 6th diy of De
cember, A. 1). 1899.
"WILLIAM A. POYNTER,
“Governor.”
THE NEWS IN WASMNblUN
Death of Senator UuywurU Annijnred
by Senator Thurston.
WASHINGTON. Dec. 7.—The death
f Senato- Hayward of Nebraska was
; nnounctd .o the senaiy by Seoulv
Thurston immediately after the read
ing of the president's message, by the
presentation of the usual resolutions,
and n motion to adjourn out of re
spect to his memory. The flag on the
capital was ordered half-masted.
beyond this no special observances
will be ordered, as the case of Sena
tor llaywHid's death differs in some
respects from the general order of
cases. The Nebraska senator had not
taken the oath and was not yet for
mally a member of that body. Had
his death occurred after he had seen
service In the senate a Joint commit
tee of V ith houses would have been
appointed and the funeral would have
been under the auspices of tho ser
geant-at-arms. In omitting this form
in Senator Hayward's case, the senate
follows well established precedents.

KEARNEY, Neb., Dec. 7.—Odessa,
ten miles west of Kearney, w'as the
scene of a double tragedy enacted
about midnight, and as a result Mrs.
F. L. Dlnsmore and Freu Laue are
lying dead.
Shortly after midnight Mr. Dins
more went to the home of Frank
Tussing and told him that something
terrible had happened over at the
house, that Laue had killed Mrs.
Dinsmore and then committed suicide.
When they reached tne house they
found the dead body of Mrs. Dinsmore
on the kitchen floor and near her a
tin cup wl'.'ch Is suppled to contain
poison and wnku will be used at the
inquest.
Mr. Laue was found dead in oed up
stairs with a bullet hole in his head
Only one shot had been Bred.
Both families occupied the same
house. It is reported that Mrs.
Laue says her husband woke her up
about midnight, kissed her good-bye
and then shot himself.
It Is also said that Dinsmore says
his wife went to the kitchen to get a
drink and as she remained so long he
went to ascertain the trouble and
found her dead.
These coincidences are strange.
There were no marks of any descrip
tion on the body of Mrs. Dinsmore to
show that she mjt death from vio
lence. Mr. and Mrs. Dinsmore were
married July 20 last, and Mr. and
Mrs. lame were witnesses. Her maid
! en name was Lillian Hloomfleld and
she came from Chicago, where sht
has a sister and also has a brothei
In Missouri.
Dinsmore is a grain buyer at Odessa
and has been rcgnnleu us an exeiu

Th*> coroner's jury brought In the
following verdict lu the Dinsmore
and Laue tragedy:
“The Jury flnds that Fred laitie
came to bis death by means of a bul
let wound ou the right temple, which
wound was caused by the tiring of a
revolver In the hands of some prison
other than himself, and further, that
said bullet was shot feloniously."
The findings In the case of Mrs
Dinsmore'* death was that she hit
t time to her death by potaon adminls
