Opinion is divided as to whether the intention was to rob the grave or .simply to investi gate as to whether the man was dead. The village board and the family have each offered a reward in the sum of S3C for the arrest and conviction of the per son or persons implicated. The First National bank of York failed to open its doors the other morn ing. The constant drain of deposits and a failure to realize on securities was the cause.

This particular field is located just cast of that city on land belonging to Judge Smith. It comprises 100 acres jusl half a mile square, and stands twelve feet high on an average. Standing in a buggy a man cannot reach anywhere near the top of the stalks, and the men and teams cutting the crop look very ' small and insieniiicant when at work It is estimated that this field will yield four tons of hemp to the acre, ami this means the bare stalks, after they are thoroughly jlry and the foliage has aU dropped off. Some time ago the following notice was found pinned to a fence in the business portion of Red cloud, being signed "Chairman White Cap Commit tee." "City Council, Take notice: We will burn every house of ill fame after September 1, 1S'J3, unless you take steps , torrid all such institutions from oui midsts. A few morning ago the house kept by Madam Kay was discovered to be on fire, thus confirming the threat made in the notice. An alarm was turned in and the fire department res ponded promptly, but it was found that the length of hose was insufficient to reach to the scene of the fire. Most of the contents were saved but the building was destro3cd. The people at Kilgore and St Fran ces are stirred up over not getunn granted the petition asking for a change the mail route from Valentine tc Rose IJud to Kilgore to Rose l.ud. The distance from Kilgore to Rose Bud agency by way of St. Frances, mission, is twenty-two miles.

He ar rived there all right and stayed until about 5 o'clock, when he started on his return home. He went about two miles of the way and stopped with another neighbor and ate supper. He again started for home but never got there. 1 jjn Jaycox thought perhaps he had stopped over night When he failed to come in the morning they started after him and found his dead body with one end of a rope wound around his neck and the other end attached to the horse.

Washington-, Sept 2. About the happiest men in congress are those who were in doubt up to last Monday morn ing as to just how they would vote on the silver bill when it came up in the hous and the men who Mad many ntiS--ivir.gs as to whether they ought to vote for an increased ratio and a con tinuance of silver purchases and who i-jubted considerably whether thej' aught to support the proposition to re vive the Rlan-.l-AUison act, but at the ;ritk-al moment concluded to vote against jill amendments and for the re peal bill. Subsequent developments and a close study of the situation have convinced those who were forced to make up their minds at the last mo ment and finally voted a straight ballot that they were right It was a te:.ty moment for many men in the house when the roll was first ?alled upon the motion to adopt free -oin;:go. A dozen meh Who had de clared up" to within an hour of that time that they would support free coin age came over to the great majority and voted "no."' A kind of wave of senti iicnt struck them and they could not resist it Many others who intended to support an increased ratio weakened when their names were called, and in stead of voting "aye" voted "no." They ainc to the conclusion that if we were to have free coinage the value of silver money wo.ild be fixed by the standard af our country's credit and not the value of the bullion in the coin, and therefore it made no difference if the ratio was Hi to 1 or 20 to 1. Never did sentiment and position change so rapid ly. NJ-Ver did the example set by one man .so affect the actions of another. Many members of the house blindlj followed the leadership of those in whom they trusted. It has been many years since so full i vote was recorded in the lower branch Df congress. Every member of the house but two was present, and those iwo were paired. Denth had made three vacancies so that all but five seats wero aecupied. A First Premium to Nebraska.

Nkw Yokk, Sept 2. Bradstreet re ports the cloud over the general busi ness situation throughout the country continuing to break away through tho second week in which actual improve nient is recorded, as indicated by the increase in the volume and distribution of merchandise reported at Cincinnati, Indianapolis. Chicago, St Louis, Kan sas City and Omaha. More travelers were sent out from these and other points, and manufacturing industries there, as well as the larger eastern centers, have, in a number of instan ces, begun starting up, some without special orders. At cities other than those specified, with few exceptions, there is an improvement in the feeling among merchants and bankers as to the prospects for fall trade, and at all points, with few exceptions, there is a growth of confidence in the revival of demand during the autumn months. Bankers at Chicago and other points to which some of the more important agricultural regions are tributary have arranged to provide funds as needed to move staple crops. The recent heavy wheat export move ments showed themselves last week in the large increase afloat for Europe about 1,400,000 bushels which de creases of 584,000 bushels in the United States and Canada and 100,000 in Aus tralia could not offset.

CONGRESS IN EXTRA SESSION. ilOUSKi The floor of tho house of representatives on the iGtb was the scene of the battle of gl hiits. It was the last twenty-four hours of the great debate and both sides hnd re served their best speakers for the closing tl&y. Tom Ree'd, the eloquent leader. Uf.the Republicans, found nn answer In John Allen of Mississippi, whose ready wit was one of J ho most forcible arguments of the free coinage men. .- . ,. - J. R. Williams, a democratic member of the lastcotnmittee on coinage, besought his colleagues to remember their party plat form, while Burke Cockran repeated tho In cidents of the last national convention in which he played such an Important part, and argued the true Interpretation of the platform was not that sought to bo given by the man from Illinois. In beginning his speech, Mr. Reed con fessed doubts of the wisdom of tho house to deal satisfactorily with tho question before it. but expressed his comfort at being ablo to fall hack upon the well established belief In tho wisdom of the decision of congress. Crlsises like the present, he said, wero tho Inseparable ncpompaniaments of all human progress, which Is a series of Upward starts and falls of almost proportionate length. The former may be characterized in a word, confidence;" the latter In another word, "distrust." These fluctuations occur almost simultaneously, always sympathetically, the world over, so clonel vis business allied by the telegraph and railroad. itecausn of the fact that the drain of gold from tho United States since the passage of tho Sherman law carried out of the coun try an amount equal to tho value of the purchases of silver under the law, peonlo haw ih the cause of the los of gold, and dis trust was engendered, and a season of hoarding and depression set in, and today the country Is suffering all the calamities of a restricted circulation in tho midst of kh abundant supply of money. . . "This, then," continued Mr. Reed, "at the present moment Is the- situation In which wo find ourselves, I have, iri this narrating She outward clrcums.tntfc.'!. Hhlch have at snd"l cur rjrteht position, failed tb state ully what is, aftef all. according to my Judgment, the underlying cause of the pres ent condition of affairs. At the last elec tion the democratic party was brought Into power by a curlouC9TnlJln.''Uon of rirrum stanecs, as the result "of a Hundred can.-e, not with careful and candid deliberation, but as the result, In a large measure, of tho apathy of th American ut3uult;: , , "The vote shows what dcrisi. arid thd recollection or every Individual to whom I bin sneaking can safely be appealed to.

I do not un crtakcto dispute the position on the part of the democracy that the protection is a tav, wicked and inquitous. For the purpose of discussion, and for that purposo only, I am quite free to admit that protection Is a fraud, and that virtue abides only in a rev enue tariff. M . Mr. Allen said that, unlike most of the gentlemen who had addressed thobousbori this important yuiNtlort,, arid wild ,had.dis Clalmea being financiers or partisans.he was both.,,-daughter. J Up had made tho ques tion of currency a Study for more than forty years. Lauguior.l But he was not one of those financiers who were responsible for the present stringency. Ho had kept his money In circulation. Laughter. Ho had done about SO per cent of his business on credit: bin he didn't think that was a good plan, for his creditors were now clamoring for him to do something to restore confi dence. Laughtcr. Tho country was ill, but tho remedy proposed is not tho proper one. It reminiicd him of the story of the darkey who. being left in charge of A farm, wrote to his employers: "De cow has been sick. I think she is well of the diseaso now, hut I think she will die of tho remedy I done f :ivoher." Laughtcr.1 He (Mr. Allen) would ike to cure the country of the disease, but did hot want to .vote for a renlcdy that would ho worse than the dlsbase. He old not prof pose to be driven or bullied into doing that which in his humble judgment would be a bad thing for the masses of the people. SENATE. The senate on the 28th by the vote of 32 to. "9, decided Mr. Mantle and Mr. Allen of Washington are not entitled to seats and that a governor of a state has not the right to appoint a senator to fill the vacancies caused by the expiration of a regular term, not happening by resignation. The house bill to repeal the Sherman act was laid before the senate and referred to the committee on finance. Mr. Voorhecs announced there would be prompt action by 1 lie cdmmlttee tomorrow. Mr. Sherman gave notice that he would address tho senate on silver Wednesday; and Mr. Wolcott gave notice Of a speech for Thursday. Mr. 1'latt received from tho committee on Indian affairs a bill to allow certain Cbero kees having equities In the Cherokee Strip to purchase thoir holdings at the same price as white settlers. Passed. The bill allowing tho batiks to increase their circulation up to the par value of the bonds deposited by them was taken up, the question being on the amendment of Mr. Cockrcll for the redomption of such 2 per cent bonds as may be made and tho pay ment therefor received in a new issue of treasury notes. The vote was taken with out discussion and the amendment was re jected. Yeas. 2a: nays. 20. Mr. Cockrell then offered an amendment authorizing the holders of any United States bonds to deposit them and receive In ex change legal tender notes equal to the faco value of the bonds. The bonds aro to bo held in tho treasury subject to redemption in the samo sum In legal tender notes which aro to bo destroyed. No interest Is to bo paid on the bonds while they are held In the treasury, but when they are again with drawn the interest is to be paid, loss i per cent per annum. No dofimte action was taken. nocsE. In the house on the 2Sth tho clerk reported the resolution containing tho order of pro cedure on the silver questiou, providing for a vote first on the free coinage of sliver at the ratio of It! to 1. Mr. Bailey of Texas asked If, In case all the amendments as to the ratio were defeat ed, it would be in order to propose an addi tional amendment. Tho speaker thought not, but would hear tho gentleman on the subject when the time came to formally present the subject. Mr. McMIUin of Tennessee wished to offer an amendment for the free coinage of the product of the silver mines of the United States'. Mr. Itland objected even to the reading, saying it was not free coinage at all. Then tho Wilson bill, repealing the silver purchasing clause of the Sherman act, was read and Mr. Bland offered his first amend ment for free coinage at the ratio of IS to 1. which was defeated yeas. 124; nays. 22G amid applause from the anti-silver mcn.who did not expect so large a majority. The house then voted Immediately on the 19 to 1 amendment and it was defeated; yeas, 104; nays. 2.V. Then came the 20 to 1 ratio, and this was in turn defeated, though it showed more strength, the vote being: Yeas, 121; nays. The vote was then taken upon the final passage of the WiNon bill and ft was passed Yeas, 240; nays HO.

SENATE. In the senate on the 29th Mr. Voorhees, chairman of the iinanco committee, re ported back the house bill repealing the part of the Sherman act with an amendment in the nature of a substitute. He asked that the bill be placed on tiie calendar and gave notice that lie would ask the senate to take it up after tho morning business from this time on until final action be taken. The substitute, he said, w.as exactly the bill heretofere reported from the finance com mittee. He understood notice of an Inton tion to addrfss the seriate had beenglvon bjr Uib uenaior frord .Georgia (Gordon) and the senator froni UHW (ssoprmaiivnna no suggested that their remarks fillglit b niad on the bill which he had just reported. Ho explained further that the bill, as reported from the finance committee was Identical with that passed by tho house, so far as It concerned, the repeal of tho purchasing clause of the Sherman net ad that from that point on there was X cftairi matter In the substitute which was not In thd haiisd bill, and which, In his judgment, improved It and made it more acceptable. The resolution offered by Mr. Stowart was laid before the senate. It directs the secre tary of the treasury to inform tho senate whether there l a danger of a deficiency in tho revenues of tho government for tho cur rent year: and. if so, what is the amount of such deficiency, and whether legislation is necessary to supply such deficiency. The resolution gave riso to long discus sion. Senators Sherman, Mills, McPlicrson and Harris opposed the resolut ion as calling for problematical statements, calculated to create needless alarm, or as reflecting on the secretary of the treasury. Finally tho resolutions was referred to the finance com mittee. Mr. Dolph introduced a bill, which was re ferred to tho commltteo on foreign relations, appropriating .o,OOJ to enable the enforce ment of tho Chinese exclusion act and said he would eek an opportunity of speaking On tho subject, . , Mr. Gordon spoke iu favor of tho tincoii-. dltional repeal of the purchasing clause of the Sherman act and against the substitute, which, ho said, would involve additional de lay; and in the meantime the condition of the country would grow more and more alarming. The senato should not lock tho wheels of progress which had been set In motion in the other end of the cupitol. Mr. Gordon, In the concluding portion of his speech, advocated tho repeal of tho 10 per cent tax on state banks, lie said it was ab solutely certain that the states might be widely and properly trusted with a larger share of responsibility in financial opera tions. A system of state bank issues could be made, safe, stable and capable of accom plishing all tho purposes of domestic trade. HOUSE. In the house on the 29th Mr. Catchings called Up the report of tho committee on rules, reporting tho rules for the present house. After some discussion, Mr. Catch ings concedec? there should bo general de bate and briefly explained the changes mado in the rules. "Mr. Kced twitted the democrats upon thoir partial approval of tho rules of tho Fifty-first congress, but in a humorous vein contended they had not gone far enough. He then. In a more serious man ner, argued In favor of tiie rights of the majority, which rights had been firmly maintained in the Fifty-first congress. Now the house was in the habit, of dodging meas ures Instead of meeting them. He criticised the provision of the rules which, he claimed, vested the committee on rules with tho au thority which should lie vested in the sneaker. Why not adopt rules which would give the majority control and take away from the filibusterer his chance to stop the consideration of a measure. It was butter to have a speaker to excrciso power in the full light of public opinion than to exercise it In thcconimlttece room. . Then, for the first time this session, the sneaker took tho floor, having called Mr. tfioliardson of Tennessee to the chair, and Tii. . " Ueed. He said there wero ropllen to ... , .,.-., ., i-,.,i provWon In t hi report .- w'ro ,akui substantially from tho rule of tho riiry firsl congresH. Neither he nor any member of tho committee ui rules would refrain from reporting rules slnlply because they were part of those of the FiHy-first congress. Vfery much hi tlue rules was to be com incrideil. tfcr; much' df them' had been by the country absolutely condSmu"L Mr Heed, when he stood up before- tha country and spoke of the rules of the Flf ty-first congress, failed to speak of the practices adopted before tho rules were adopted which were so odious to the country. Applause. The first action in the Fifty-first which was odious was not an action under any rule.hut it was the arbitrary, high-handed action of the speaker, who acted without authority of rules or anything else. Applause. When the charges were made against tho last con gress, let no one forget that the first charco was ttiuti .without tho authority of tho house, without .that of the committee on rules; the sptaker had exercised a power that had never been granted hiiii. JAp plause. Ho had assumed upon himself the power to count a quorum. The q uest Ion had gone to tho supreme court and Mr. Reed had rfever been justified. He had heard Mr. Keed several times say the .supreme court had justified hiscourse. The sufircrn-court had not touched the question. The supreme court has said the house had the right to make rules for its own goverment and to make its own provisions for t lie as certainment of a quorum, but it had never said the speaker should make the rules. Applause. PfiKATi'.. In the senate on tiie atith. after the routine morning business, the bill for the repeal df the Sherman act was taken up, and Mr. Sherman (rep. O.) proceeded to address the senate. On conclusion of his speech fifty seriiitdi's, hu)re" thah a quorum, having re spoude,d tb their, panics Sir. Teller (rep., Colo) proceeded tvltlt bis speech. He as sumed (from a newspaper article which he quoted) that a scheme had been organized early In the session in New York for the purposo of creating a financial panic that would compel, at an extra session, tiie re peal of the purchasing clause of the Slier man act. Ho believed that tiie bankers had Intended to create distress that would com pel the president to call the congress iu ex traordinary session and thus secure action, first oa tho purchasing clause of the Sher man act, and second, on the issuance of a largo amountuf government bonds. But the panic had got away with them. They had rather overdone the business and had frighteded the people morctimn they had Intended to do. Mr. Mandersori (rep. Neb.) presented a memorial from till the national banks-of Omaha, for tho Immediate passagl: of the bill repealing the purchase clause of the Sherman act expressing tho belief that such repeal would go far toward bringing an end to the present serious financial disturb ances, and also asking for such. legislation as shall put gold and silver on a parity. Other petitions on the samo subject wore presented. Mr. Cockrell (dem. Mo.) presented resolu tions adopted at a public meeting held at the Fifth Avenue hotel. New York, protest ing against the senseless attacks on the Shorman law, and demanding the prompt fulfillment of the pledges of the democratic national convention for the free coinage of gold and silver. ttOL'sr. In tho house on the 30th. Mr. Breckin ridge (dem.. Ky.) from the committee on ap propriations reported tho urgency deficiency-appropriation bill, which appropriates fQ,UXi and It was passed, Mr. Bowers irep.. Cal.) asked consent for the immediate consideration of a resolution calling on the attorney general for informa tion as to whether any action lias been taken In the case now pending in which the South ern Pacific railroad has begun action to dis possess settlers on the public lands. Tho house then resumed consideration of the new code of rules. Mr. Hopkins (rep.. 111.) spoke in favor of ttn amendment which he proposed to offer at a suitable timo, having in view tho preven tion of fillibiistering. Mr. Kilgore (dem.. Tex.) criticised the rules of tho ! If ty-first congress. He then pro ceeded to denounce and ridicule the legisla tion enacted by the "business congress" the Fifty-first congress. Mr. Orovesnor (rep.. O.) defended the rules of tho'Fifty-first congress and the" decisions of the speaker thereunder. , Mr. Holman (dem.. Ind.) opposed the pro- Eoscd change In the rules, by which lODmcm ers are made a quorum of the committee of the whole. Mr. Dinglcy (rep.. Me.) advocated the adoption of the rules recommended with the exception of the proposj-d amendment regarding what Is known a i lie "considera tion morning hour." which ho said would re sult in the delay of public business. Mr. Outliwaite, the now member of the committee on rules, closed the general de bate in a brief speech, defending the changes In tho rules, which have been assailed. SEXATE. In the senate on the 31st, Mr. Voorhees moved that the senate proceed to the con sideration of the house bill to repeal the Sherman law. Tho motion was agreed to. Tho bill was taken up and Mr. Wolcott ad dressed the senate iu opposition to iu Af: tor considerable persiflage, in wlileli he twit ted the senators on a change of views on the silver question to suit the ideas of the ad ministration, he declared that Mr. Hill's speech might have been as well made against sliver, as he knew that free coinage was im possible by separate act under this admin istration. Heqoted a former utterance of Mr. Voorhees to show tho Inconsistency of that senator on the silver question. He de clared that Voorhees and Sherman wore for the first time in accord, that Sherman would be in fact the chairman of the finance com mittee Instead of Voorhecs. All the sena tors know Mr. Cleveland would veto an Inde pendent silver coinage measure. He hinted that If this bill passed the free silver men might vote against protection in anv form. It seemed unaccountable that in a panic the banks should object to an increase of the volume of money. Their plan was after repeal, to ask and probably get an Issue of 3I0O.COO.O0O in gold bonds. The speaker then proceeded to controvert the argument that there had been an overpro duction of silver in the world at big profits. He showed. In the case of Lead vi lie, that 8104,300,000 in silver had been produced at a cost of SU1,:CO,000, the loss being charged to only a fair profit by the valueof other pro ducts. If only the silver states were con cerned they would acquiesce without protest but It was a national question, atTcctiugall parts of the country. The floor was then taken by Mr. Ca fiery. His maiden speech in the senate was iu favojfof tliciinconditional re no al of the pur cuasinsr y warneufne Wolcojirif t serous mo i chasing clause ofr the ShenTin .act. He e senator froup: Colorado (3Ir. he" expected to- smile away the money .troublesiif the country as Cervarites had' laughed avra-vchlvalry-and romance irom cpuin. lie was doomed to sig nal failure. Ho was proud of the position of his native state on the money question. "Phe had alwavs been sound, and If his feeble effort would avail sho always would be. The resolutions on the death of Represen tative Mutchler of Pennsylvania wero laid before the senate and resolutions expressive of tho sorrow of the senato wore agrcca tp, and as a further evidence of respect to Ills memory, the senato adjourneu HOCSK. In the house on tho 31st consideration of tho rules was again had. !..-, PlClrlsr' amendment to lncreasotnemom borship 6i the committee on rules was re Mr. 'Hooker's amendm.eftt to Increase the membership was also lost. i.. .

Mr. Hooker intrvM to strike from the rules the section which refers Ml opposed action touching the order of business to tho com mittee on rules. Tho motion wi? lost. Mr. DeArmond criticised tho ruis of the Fifty-first congress, but especially crlficiseu tho decision of Speaker Heed before any rules had been adopted. Tho then speaker had counted in quorums In total dlsrcgara of tho general principles of parliamentary Aroferenco mado by him to the decision of tha supremo court brought Mr. Kced to his feot. who argued that court had sus tained his actions, and ho said tho time would come when oven the gentleman from Missouri wbuld understand what that de cision was. , i . . .i Mr. Aldorson spoko in opposition to the granting of tho speaker too great power and sent to the clerk's desk and had read certain extracts from the record of the Flfty-nrst congress. But the very first extract met with Mr. Heed's disapproval. It was an ex cerpt to the effect that Mr. Outhwalte had objected to having been counted by Spoaker Heed when ho had not been present. Mr. Beed said the extract was not correct. The' gentleman from Ohio (Outliwaite) would liear him out In saying it was admitted tliero had been an error and the error had been corrected. The other extracts were then read, all criticising Speaker Keed's ruliug iu the matter of the counting or a quorum. Mr. Beed said the remarks of the gentle man from West Virginia were only an echo of the chorus of the Fifty-first congress, but he was glad to see these reports were dying and not increasing. The gentleman from Wost Virginia had two years ago uplifted his voice -Tii denunciation of the Fifty-first congress. After these two years thb gentle man, by an enormous mental effort and by tho aid of stenographers and typewriters, hnd evolved tho remarkable literary collec tion which tho house had just listened to. He congratulated West Virginia on having two such statesmen, one (Mr. Wilson) to lead the house and the other to bring in the rear. Laughter. "Where the Rare Will Start. Ahkansas Citv. Kas., Aug. 30. Yes terday 15. S. Harnes telegraphed to Sec retary Smith asking' if settlers would be allowed to make the run from the Chiloeco", Osage and Ponca reservations. This morning1 he received a telegram from S. C. Lamcroeaux, land commis sioner, which settles the question of points from which the run can finally be made. The president's proclamation states that the run shall bo made from a strip of land 100 feet in width around and immediately within the outer bounda ries of the" tintive tract of country to be opened for settlement. The Indian reservations of the l'oncfls and Otoos are all a part of the Cnerokee strip, and many people had made preparations to make the run from their boundaries.

The decision of the commissioner has been looked for on this point for some days, and his telegram received this morning effectually settles it, as fol lows: "The president's proclamation r perves the Chiloeco, Osage and Ponca reservations from the lands to bo opened. I have no authority to grant parties permission to go thereon." Pollack's Assailant Again. Tekre Haute, Ind., Aug. 30. Frank Bruce, arrested for safe burglary, and who was identified by detectives from several cities as a member of the Strat ton gang of postotlice and mail box robbers, has now been identified as the man who shot and robbed Pollack, the New York diamond salesman, of S2.",000 worth of diamonds on a Sioux City fc Pacific train last fall. Robert Fleming of Missouri Val ley, la., who was sitting opposite Pol lack, was sent here by the New York firm and positively identified Bruce. After seriously wounding" Pollack. Bruce seized his satchel, pulled the bell ccrd, holding the passengers at bay with his revolver and jumped from the train when it had slowed up. A Mr. Mable of Iowa, another passenger, was also sent here, but was not able to say that Bruce was the robber. If not con victed here Bruce will be sent to Iowa to stand trial. "Kid" McCoy is now under arrest for the crime, but there is no doubt in his case. PLEASED WITH BEPEAE. Expressions by London Papers oa tha Proceedings In Congress. Losdoh, Aug. M. The Westminster Gazette, Liberal, says to-day concern ing the passage of the Wilson repeal bill through the house of representa tives; "The judicious action of Mr. Cleveland has assisted largely to change public sentiment towards the Sherman act His waiting policy al lowed the country to pass through such a bitter experience that it is not surprising to find a strong opinion in favor of a reversal of the policy which has landed the CDuntry in difficulties. The effect upon business will be felt Instantly." The Pall Mall Gazette, William Wal dorf Astor'a conservative daily, says: "When confidence and credit are re stored by the repeal of the pernicious Sherman act the task of fiscal reform in the United States will become easier."
