building wns crowded with children many
ot whom went nrnrlv frantic with cticf over
the appalling darkness nud stillness which
ircccdcd tlio tempest. The wind swept in Id-
way across the broad prnltle from the west ,
and seemed to concentrate Its force In n de
scent upon the tower , which yielded with a
crash , and , tearing down tlio heavy
> ell , plunged through the Intcrvcn-
ng floors to the basement. The
main building Is n mass of ruins
within , shattered walls which still stand.
The wing was comparatively uninjured , nnd
the scholars In it were not hurt. In the
imln building , however , the one fact was
that the awful falling floors piccipllntcd ter
rified children Into the basement , wheio
masses of bricks and boaids crushed them to
HO ground and burled them from view ,
Persons near , hearing tiic crush , made their
vny as best they could ngainst the beating
storm to the scene.

election of Henry 13. Payne to bo United
States senator , was yccuiod by biibcry. fiaud
and coiruptlon , and requesting the senate to
Investigate.
Ucfeired to the committee on privileges and
elections.
A number of petitions wcio presented nnd
refi'iied praying congn-hS to enact legisla
tion nvruliitit olcomaigaiino.
After lotitino morning business the Intcr-
st.ito commerce bill was taken up and con-
hldciation lesumcd.
An amendment olTeied by Wilson of Iowa ,
which would punish men who knowingly
aslcd ; lor or icceivcd leduetlon of lates , was
alter blioit debate lejectcd.
Mr. Moigan formally offered his amend *
incut hoietotoio it'fciicd to , to punish by fine
nnd Imprisonment men who consplio to .stop
orinti'ifeio with the running 01 tiains en
gaged in tliu Interstate commerce.
Messis. Vest , Teller and MaNoy contend
that this was matter lor the states to deal
with.
Mr. Cullom feared that the nnirndmcnt
would ombamss nnd peihaps Impciil the
passage ot the hill , mid so ho opposed Mr.
Aloican's amendment.
On the motion ol Mr. Hoar the amendment
was laid on the table. Yc.is 4'J , nays ! ) .
Mi. Hiown offered nn amendment piov Id-
IngToi the punishment ot persons Injiiiing
tlio propelty ot the lailroad companies ,
tincks , biidges , ca , etc. The amendment
would make It felony to maliciously injure
such propelty , and. If death icsulled liom
Injuiy , then the olfonso should constltuto
minder. The umendinent was laid on the
table.
Cousidcinblo dehato then nioso upon nn
amendment of Mr , Plumb's , olleml for him ,
In his absence , by Mr. Ingails. It Is the
amendment ot which Mr. Plumb homo tlmo
slnco gave notlco , prohibiting membcis of
congress , ollielals'ot the guveinmont nnd
their families tiom'ncoptlng fieo passes nnd
iiiolilbltlng railroad cpmpanles from giving
them such passes or reduced rates.
To this Mr. Teller ptfcicd an amendment
prohibiting nny of tlio subsidised inllroads
from t'lving free pastes.
Mr. Edmunds bald that If Mr. Teller would
extend the piovlslons of his amendment seas
as to cover not only subsldl/cd rallionds ,
but nil loads coming within the pin view ol
tlio net. ho would tavor it.
Mr. Teller modified his amendment ac
cordingly ,
Mr. Logan said that the proposition nbout
fieo passes was making the bill ridiculous.
Wovero dealing witli tills matter in a way
to liuhu'o the country to bclfovo that mem-
bois of the United States congress weie
nliald of themselves ; nfinid to tiust their
own honesty. Congiess has beeninnhuiry
to deny Its own members franking pilvllegc ,
while allowing every clerk in the depart
ment , 01 iirmv , or navy to u o fioo envelopes.
State legislation , affecting legislator , hud
piohlbltcd members fiom accoptlng inllroad
passes. Why ? Because the members wanted
iho people to think they were moio honest
than others. Yet ho noticed that members
traveled up nnd down tlio inilroads just the
same. Itcquldnotbo stopped. It was this
kind of weakness in legislation that caused
the country to think U'sislatois weio dishon
est. Ho ( Logan ) did not propose to tell his
constituents that lie could bo bought with n
railway pass. They did not bello\u ho could.
It was about time lor men to net like honest
men.
men.Tho committee thbii dlScmsed , for some
time , thu coiitumacioiis conduct of the wit
ness nnd It was resolved to secure answers
from him If there were any power In congress
to en force them.
The committee then ndjourncd ,

WASHINGTON- , May 11. The succlnl order
for to-day being tho. consideration of the

ing the tournat went Into n committee of the

of n commission to settle prlvnto land claims
In the territory of New Mexico , Ailzonn nnd
the state of Colorado.
The committee on commerce repotted the
bill minimizing the construction of n bridge
across the Mississippi river at St. Louis.
The house then went into n committee of tlio
whole on the army appropriation bill.
Mr. Orosvcnor moved to Miiko out thonn-
pioprlatlon for tlio judge advocate Bcueial's
department. Ho bald that the derailment
had decided cases without a knowledge of
law and that the system followed by the de
partment was outrageous.
Mr. Wheeler admitted that abuses had
existed In tlio derailment , and , as nn In-
statico of this , ho slated that Ui'iiutnl Holt
had been appointed for the ( impose Oi strik
ing down McClcllan.
Mr. Uepbuin replied to some rcmiiks pre
viously made by ( loncral Binvrir , In which lie
nlludcd to him ( Hepburn ) us tlio boiling pot
liom Iowa.
Tlio dllllciiityltli tlio gentleman from
Wisconsin , said llcpbmn , seemed to bo
congenial nnd he ought not to bo censured
for Ids inugime , The gentleman fiom Ala
bama , ( Wheeler , ) had taken upon himself
tlio roll ot slandeicr. when he made the
chnvjro that he did against Abraham Lincoln ,
who had appointed him to ofllcc. ( Sonera !
Holt had not been appointed to olllco for any
purpose that was inimical to justice nnd
right-dealing. There had been no purpose of
assaulting ( icnnnl McClelland or any oilier
Keiirrnl. It ill became the gentleman from
Alabama. It ill became anv gentleman situ
ated ns that gentleman had been , to assume
the roll of slnudeior of Abtaham Lincoln.
[ Applause on icpublicnn sldc.l
Mr. Blairssaid that the tcmnrks of the
gentleman tiom Alabama \\eie not a slur on
Lincoln , hut as ho , liiagg , had had occasion
to say once bcioro In tills house , the gcii-
tlntifn who wcro opposed to
having the drapciy of garments
drawn aside for fear of showing tlio political
nnd moral leprosy that existed , always dodge
behind Lincoln's tricat coat. It was Mr.
Stanton nnd not Mr. Lincoln to whom the
gcntloman fiom Alabama had icfencd. As
to the piusoiml allusions of the gentleman
from Iowa , it hail taken that gentleman so
long to get Into action that out of compassion
for him ho ( Hiagg ) would not stir him up
again just now.
The motion to strike out was lost 82 to ITJ.
Pending luitheraetion tlio committee rose
nnd the house ndjouincd.

Is hero earnestly supporting the interests of
tlio dairymen of his state and Nebraska nnd
is helping on the light against the fraudulent
manufacture and sale of oleomargarine. Ho
regards this as ono of tlio overshadowing
questions of the day and says the matter has
leached that stage whcio congress must de
cide whether or not a few gicedy and giasp-
Ing men shall be pci milled by deception nnd
fraud to smother out nnd destroy one of our
greatest Industries one In which f > ,000,000
citizens with 15,000,000 , cows mo engaged on
small farms ami large farms In nil
parU of the couutiy and whether
the many millions of consumcis
of butter nnd cheese shall be deprived of
puio nnd healthy dairy product and com
pelled to either do without or use the bogus
aiticlc. He believes the question of health
alone will settle this contioversy in favor of
the pure aitialc. In icteiencc to tlio claim
ot the butteilno men , that the demand for
butter cannot be supplied by fauueis and
hence butteilno becomes a necessity , Mr.
JJcerlng said to the BKE correspondent to
night that the northwest alone could supply
the world with good butter If loft mi tram
meled and given a fair opportunity for do-
\elopment , and that In the west their meth
ods of tanning had changed. The practice
of raising wheat almost exclusively had been
greatly abandoned and dairying had taken
its place. Ho said that in his own
county six years ago not ono pound of
creamery butter had boon undo , but last year
that county shipped to tlio cast 1,2.50.000
pounds : and so it would FOOII be in rxK ) other
counties If they can ha\e encouragement and
fair play. Mr. Decline expiessed the belief
that the wclI-oiganUcd elloits of bogus mat
ter to mislead and diivo this congiess and
the country would fail , and thatii comme-
hcnsivo and stilngent law will be enacted
which will furnish that icliof from this
inqully and fraud which is demanded by
nine-tenths of the American people.

A ride thiough the southwest lumber dis
trict nt noon to-dny found most of the great

twenty-five or thirty men weie nt work as ou-

the htiongcst motives for leinnliiing Idle for

that the majority of their hands would return
