WASIIINOTOS , June 13. [ Special Telegram
to the HEI : . ] It Is generally conceded that
the bill cxtendlnji the time for the payment
of the Pacific railroad debts will not bo
passed by the house at this session.
Ncbraskans who are taking advantage of
the pre-emption law will ha\o a lowdayslo
operate In. The bill repealing the act will bo
passed by the senate by the middle of this
week. It has already passed the bonne.
Senator Gorman , the dumoci.itlc boss of
Jtaryland , Is icported to have over three bun
dled appointees In the Government printing
olliccnnd to bo standlm ; between Public
Printer Hounds and dismissal. Hounds has
been removing republicans by the wholesale
nnd appointing democrats , till those who
Blood by him under the former administra
tion Imvo become dlszustcd and talk ot hav
ing his olllcc Investigated and making things
so hot for him that ho will have to
iretirc. In an Interview pub
lished to-day Congressman Perkins of
Kansas says : "You need not bo surprised to
BOO a resolution offered In the liousu calling
for .111 Investigation of the printing olllco.
If It Is done , some queer proccedlncs will bo
brought to light. Whv.Hounds Is the meanest
liurlntho government , and a majority of
ho members of the house , both republicans
and democrats , are nauseated with him. No
one not supposed to have the administra
tion's car can get an appointment. " Tlio
latest applicant for public printer Is Colonel
W. A. Hemphlll of the Atlanta Constitution.
Ho Is backed by Senator Joe Brown anil the
( icorcla delegation.

TUB SENATE OX OI.I'.OMA I1OA1UNE.
A wider range Is threatened in the
Fcnate debate of the oleomargarine bill than
characterized thu measure In the house.
Senator Deck Is bent on tacking on the whole
question of Hhe tarllf , and as theie Is less cer
tainty about the feeling of the senate on the
tariff question than In the house , nnd moro
attention paid to courtesies about debate , the
Struggle Is likely to last sumo time when the
nigiimoiits begin.
There was seemingly no politics In the de
bate when It was In the liou.se , but in the sen
ate the opposition seems pietty largely con-
lined to the democrats. Senator Edmunds
k will oppn.so the bill , and I torn present a ] > -
\ nearance the result will ho quite clo-,0. The
are not accused ot partisanship In
/ opposing the bill , for with them It is a local
question hugely , as the manufacture of
oleomargarine involves the consumption of
cotton seed oil , a southern production ,
i A petition was presented fo-dayasklng con
gress to authorise the postmaster general to
pay the postmaster at Mt. Pleasant , la. , for
lease of the iH > stollico building nt that place.
A poll has been made of the senate couunit-
. tee on agrlenlUiie on thOMihjcct of the oleo
margarine : bill and It is believed the bill ,
when reported , will be amended
BO as to makoolenmatg.ulno pay 1 Instead of
6cents tax. Mr. Mandorson , who Is not heio ,
1 Is leported to be against the bill.

CHAIIIMAX HANDAr.r. ,
of the committed on nnpinpiiatlons , Is re
ported to bo unwilling topaitieipate with the
other flvQ.chairmcn of house committees , and
tlio speaker Is arianging a weekly order of

gramnio which even contemplates an cllort to

It looks as though there would bo a fight
over the proposition to provide a third assist-
nt secretary of tlio treasury for the period of
ono year , as suggested in the senate the other
flay.oy Mr. Morrlll. The ( uiestlou'at oncene-
Siilves Into polities. No secret Is made o ! the *
fact that an extra ofllcer is wanted to get up
tlio work in tlio department which bus fallen
Ix'hlnd on account of the illness of Secretary

A noon iii.VT. : or Ninvoir : xr'ss
r Is shown In several localities thumghimt the
country over the delay In the senate of Iho
river and harbor bill which passed the house
several weeks ago. As only thirty or forty
dnjb of the present session leniuin , Iheie Is a
j fear that that the bill may not be iinally com
pleted , them being many amendments l > y the
aimtoand the woikof a conference commit

i of the semite committee on eommuieu says
there Is no danger of the defeat of tlm me.is-
tire by delay , as thu senate is quite us much
Interested In Its passage as the house and tlm
country. The sensito hoites , however , to get
- a million or moro dolhus In addition to the
amount already provided for by the house ,
nnd the bill , when it becomes a law , will be
: , somewhat larger than usual.

, legislation ot a local character. Tuesday
consideration of the legislative bill will bo

King Lutlwlc Taken til Charge by tbo
Minister * .
Mtrxirtr , Juno 13. Ludwlg's deposition
has thrown a gloom over the Bavarian me-
tiopolls. Business Is partially suspended
and many evidences are urcscntliig of the
deep attachment of the people for the unfor
tunate king. The ministerial deputation to
secure the release of Count Itolsteln had the
utmost dllllciilty In gaining access to the
castle , which was surrounded by armed
guards in gieat numbers. The mountain
peasantry wore also muchoVclted and threat
ened to kill the deputation , but after an ex
planation of their haimlcss mission they
wore permitted to enter. Thoyieplaced the
king's servants , placed a strong military cor
don around thecastlo andlotttwo physicians
to guard the king , who will bo removed to
Hcrg castle. The Catholic clergy appieclato
the gain to them in Ludwlg's deposition.
They will undoubtedly exert more Influence
over Lultpold. The popohas sent congratu
lations and ordered the nunlco at Munich
com t to establish nioie cordial iclatlons be
tween the recency and the Vatican. At JJor-
lln the deposition Is regarded with supreme
Indltreronce.

Si.too.Juno li. ! The residence of a leading
orangeman was burned last night by a. mob.
The military charged and shot some of the
rioters. Kxtra police have been drafted. The
town has been quiet to-day. The rioting
was , eliminated by the Catholics who wcio
angry because somebody had dostioyed the
rails surrounding the bishop's palace. Tliev
gathered in thousands and attacked the
houses of protestants and molested and hooted
many persons. Tbo windows of every house
In which It was known that a
piolcstant dwelt were smashed. The
county club house of the constitution
club , the Methodist manse , the residence of
the Congregational minister and several
chapels weio attacked and wicckod. The
Orangemen made no attempt to retaliate.
Iho mayor , nationalist , and several ot the
magistrates penetrated to the front of the
mob and tried to appease them , but without
avail. The riot act was then read and soldiers
weiooideied to clear the streets with fixed
bayonets. A general stampcdo ensued , dur
ing which sixteen rioters vtcre arrested.

the various tompcranceiorganlzaUons In the

TetuiHjnuico union , ha\o been In somewhat
of a studv to know how to turn their talents
tojaccount. hike Othello they find their oc
cupation Is cone for If prohibition prohibits
there Is no need of further temperance woik ,
and a temperance society would bo the last

So with much useful talent and a well organ
ized force at command , It seems a pity that
their energies should not still bo directed in
some useful channel. The ladled of tlioV. .
C. T. U. , of this city , have solved the problem
In a novel and commendable way. They ha.vo
turned their activities In the direction of an
Orphans' home , which shall provide a refuge
for Iilendless children babies especially , and
keep them till homes can be found for them
when they will be tccclvcd as uicuibcis of the
family.
Your correspondent hunted up the place
and learned about Its methods nnd objects ,
and found It was an enterprise that could
well bo commended to the various temper

twenty and thiity little babies on hand now ,
little chappies that may know their mother * ,
but will never get a sight ol their fathers.
Hut this new homo for the friendless is for
the regular , orthodox , all correct little babies ,
who have no parents , or have cruel , unkind
or impecunious parents , unable or unwilling
to care for them and tiling them up In thu
wav they should KO. There are a gieat many
of that sort that ought to be saved from the
cruel fate of the poor house , and the good
women who have ueon lighting the saloons
tor so many years have concluded to come up
to the help ot the babies , paitlcularly as the
saloons don't need much moio attention.
Of the babies at this now home the oldest is
hut two years old , and the youngest is
about four weeks. The oldest hears

The managers of the impeachment trill
have been making some sorry revelations for
Itlr. liiown and his deputy during-the past
week. They show that it had been his pra'1-
tico to allow his deputy to examine banks ot
the state , charging S15 or S20 for each exam
ination while drawing a salary from thOHtuto
lor the timeho was absent from Ids of
fice. In some instances lirown himself
made the examinations and took and kept
the fees. His deputy , Stewart , obtained from
this source between thirteen bundled and
fourteen hundiod dollars , in addition to his
regular salary. The trial Is becoming a great
bore , as much so to these on the Inside as to
those outs > lde. The senators who have to
listen to the tiresome arguments of verbose
and tedious counsel are beginning to cry out ,
"How long , oh , Lord , how longl" Already
the printed journal numbeis over 1,200 pages , ,
and the trial is piobably not moio than one-
third through. If the tilal costs the btnto less
than S75jOOJ thy people may think themselves
getting elf eiisv , consldeifng the way the ex

The Itutn War.
CHICAGO , Juno 12. [ Special Telegram to

oiml Milwaukee & St. Paul roads on p'vssen-
Eer1 r.Uesyest ami northwest goes bravely on
and Indications now arc that before the end
of. next "week the fore between Chicago and
SI. Paul and Chicago nnd Omaha will be SI ,
or loss. The Uock Island's cut of yesterday
to'compotltlvo'polnls In Iowa and Minnesota
14 ntoio serious than It appears on its face. It
makes rates to nil these itolnls at $4.35 , and
how great this reduction Is Is shown by the
fact1 that the regular rates to some of these
jtoliils worVas high as $15. The new rates
by the Uock Island's Albert Lea route , 84.2o ,
from St. Paul and Minneapolis to Chicago ,
wcropnt In effect this morning. To check-
niato.this action on the part of the Hock Is
land the Milwaukee & St. Paul has decided to
ihnlco n rate of S4.ii" from Omaha to Chicago.
This opens up tlio war both on the east and
west bound business between Chicago and St.
Paul and between Chicago and Omaha , and
will comiKil all roads betvfcon those points to
take a hand In the conflict. The affairs of the
Chicago , St. Louis and Mlsslourl river pas
senger association have now assumed such
an asi > ect that it will bo safe to predict an ex
tension of the business to nnd from all Mis
souri river point * , Including Kansas City.
The statement heretofore published that the
Hannibal & St. Joe , Imrlington nnd Chicago
& Alton had decided to withdraw from the
association , after a lapse of thirty days , Is now
fully confirmed. Aibitrator Wilson Informed

A PIONEER'S DEFENSE.
lie Killed Thirty Men Bccanso of Ills
Devotion to Law and Order.
A crp\yd following a rather good-look
ing man around , stopping "when , ho
stoppedlistening as to an ocaclc when ho
turn anything to say , an J all the tiino gap
ing at him in open-mouthed wonder , pro
claimed the fact that an important per-
sbn'ago was in town , writes a Silvorton ,
Col. , ( Correspondent of the New York
Sun.
Sun."Who is that duck ? " an old miner
asked.
"S.Ii-li-h ! " replied a companion ; "that's
Doc'Ilolliday. He's killed thirty mon in
ami there's when he'll
his .day , no tolling
turn. IiiniKolf loose again. "
- Then all hands took another good look
at him , and after lie had passed out of
ilight prfo of the early settlers said :
"Som6 _ of you follows wio | have come
here lately have a very faint idea of
what Uoc Holliday and a tow others like
him lined to do m this country. When
the Jou ran-things down in Arizona no
body dared say his soul was his own , I
remember one time in T'ombslono lie
killed two men in ono night , and tlio next
day ho called u.ion the editor of the paper
and said that , as ho was opposed to sen
sational literature , lie hoped there would
he no undue prominence given to the oc
currences of the evening beforo.
"When the paper came out in the afternoon -
noon it had a three-lino item , saying that
it was understood that two mon had been
found dead on the streets , but that the re
porter had not learned their names. Thu
samu issue had a long editorial article on
the advantages of Arizona as a health
resort.
"Not long after tlmt the Doc was in
Tucson for two weeks , and killed faix mon
during that time. Ho would have staid
another week but lie learned that a move
ment was on foot to mob him and ho lull
suddenly. All along tlio southwestern
border for three or four years ho was
robbing and killing almost continually.
When any particular crime threatened to
ruaku troiiblu for him ho would skip over
to .Southern California for a whilo. and
onoo or twluo ho wont to Indian Terri
tory. Ho could bo tried now in any ono
of a half do/.on states or territories and
hanged for murder , but there is no dis
position to press him , as it isremombored
that ' ( ho country was pretty wild in these
days' . "
Another man who had boon a close lis
tener stonuud forward nt this point and
saidr "I fiad a brush with the Doe once in
tho. Calico range , down hack of Kort
I'll in a. Ho ami twenty-live other liorso
and cattle thieves were down there , and
( hey sent word to Iho shurill' that they
were spoiling for a light. That made the
ollicor mad , and so ho got up a posse and
se ( out , I being in the party. When wo
canm on the gang wu saw that they out
numbered u s two to one , and wo con
cluded not to light. As soon as the Dee
saw that wo were sloping ho got mad ,
and , jumping out in front of his party , ho
yelk-d that ho could whip us single-
handed.
"He nadn't any nioro than said the
word when lie began firing , and wo ran
like , cowards. Ho Killed three ot our
party , though , before we- got to cover ,
and wo didn't have any anxiety to inter
view him agiin. A littlu while after that
ho left that part of the country , greatly to
the relief of the sheritV , who used to any
th.\t \ ho never could bo chief when the Doe
was iiround. "
While this speaker was giving his ex
perience ; . the Dee himself had drawn
nigh- and , after listening to the con
clusion of the story , he observed : "Whon
any of you fellows have been hunted ,
from one und of the country to thu other ,
as 1 have been , you'll understand wlut'a
* t . * .
bad man's reputation Is built on. I'vci
had credit for moro killings than I ever
dreamed of. Now , I'll toil you ot ono
little thing that happened down In Tomb
stone in the early days. There was n
hard crowd there , of course , mid 1 hap
pened in. 1 thought 1 saw a chauco to
make n liltlo money , nnd so I opened a
gambling-house. Things went nlontf nil
right for a timobut at length some of the
boys got an idea that thov were not win
ning often enough , and they put up a job
to kill me. I hoard of it , mid the next
night when they came in 1 made them a
! > ieech ) , told them what I had heard , said
that sort of thing couldn't go on in any
well-regulated community , and then , just
to restore order , I gave it to a counlo of
thorn , That settled thu whole trouulo. I
was in Tombsono siv months after that ,
and never had another diliioulty. It has
boon that way wherever 1 have boon. I
never shoot unless I have to.
"Down on the border 1 hud two or thrco
little scrapes , but they didn't amount to
much. A party of dnmkon greasers
came climbing over us ono niclit , and I
Inul to lix one or two , nnd at another
time I Iiad a light with a room full of
them , and started a graveyard there , but
it had to bo done in tlio interest of peace.
I claim to have boon n benefactor to the
country. Kvory crime that occurs in anew
now settlement is always laid on some
one or two mon. 1'vo found out tiino
and again that 1 had boon charged with
murders and robberies when I wasn't
within 500 miles of thu placo. Down in
Arizona once the coroner nnd most of
the members of his jury had killed nnd
robbed n tnan , and when they sat on the
job himself. I've known army
who couldn't tiiul vouchers for all
their property to put in a pica
that Dee Holliday had stolen it ,
when I never was inside their lines.
"If you take tlio trouble to examine a
good many of thu crimes that I am
charged with , j-ou .will Und that when I
have boon charged with murder I have
always been a long ways ofl never near
at hand. That looks odd , don't it ? lint
it is just because I didn't do it. I'vo
been in nearly all these towns
since , nnd nobody says anything about
arresting me. simply because they have
no caso. The claim that I make is that
some few of us pioneers arc entitled to
credit for what wo Imvo douo. Wo
have been the forerunners of govern
ment. As soon as law and order were
established anywhere we never had any
trouble. If it hadn't boon for mo and a
few like mo there never would have boon
any government in some of those towns.
When I have done any shooting it has al
ways been with this end in view. "
The Doc's auditors listened attentively ,
nodded as-sent and gradually slipped
away. Ho has been arrested but onec ,
and nobody hero will undertake tlio job

"NO CHANGE'CORRECTED. "
How Ticket-Sellers Get Uioh "With
Ijittlc KfTurt.
Chicago News : "Funny , ain't it ? "
said a tiuKct-seller at ono of the promi
nent theaters , "bow many people , anil so
many of them wideawake business men ,
go away without their change. Well ,
gonictinios it's the other way , and it only
about balances up. 1 have known lots of
tiekut-sollors who made big stakes out of
thor business.
"Now , there are the circus-ticket inch ,
for instance. A woman comes along and
lays down a $5 bill for two tickets. The
ticket-man sees that she is somewhat rat
tled at the crowd behind her and doesn't
hand her thu change right oil' Chances
are she goes right along with the crowd
and doesn't think of her change until she
gets insido. Then -she comes back and
wants it 'You. gave mo a dollar , madam , '
is the ticket man's reply , and there is thu
sign which says : 'No Change Corrected
Alter Leaving the \ \ iiulow , ' and what
can she do about it ?
"Of course.in the lirst-class thcalors no
such robbery is conductedand J generally
give a man' his olmugo whim ho cainii.s
Hack , if 1 think he is right. Then ( hero
is the Mly' young crook , who comes back
and claims change that I know ho has
already had. I'vo got to l < > ok out for him ,
or I would bo $10 to sf 15 short every day.
Then there are other causes for a ticket
man to bu behind in his accounts. Some
.shown use these- thin paper tickets and
when a man is in a hurry ho is sure often
to hand out two instead of ono. This
shortage must bo made up some way and
the simplest scheme is tlio short change
racket. Yon can put it down for a fact
that whatever the btato of trailo may
be thu 'fly' tiukct-hollor is not much be
hind in Ills accounts. "

Iioonl Notes.
A Family Fond ,
A family feud tlmt hns existed for sev
eral years between two Nicholas street
families was the cause o ( iirow on Satur
day evening that resulted very seriously
nnd may provo fatal to MM. F. T. Shin-
rock. The afl'uirtook place at 8o'clock on
Saturday evening nnd shortly nftcr tlmt
hour Ollleor O'Hoylo marched into the
central police station , having in charge
Mrs.\Vm. Mullmll who was alleged to Irnvo
nssuultcd .Mrs. Shiurock. Mr. Mulhall
nnd Mr , Shinrock uppcrtrod at the jail nt
the sumo tinio , and witli Mrs. Mulhall
opened n threo-cornerpil lire upon Judge
Stonborg concerning the particulars of
the case. Thuir stories wore widely
flincrcnl nnd conflicting Mrs.
Mullmll was placed under bonds by Judge j.
Stonborg for trial this morning. .
TIM : MuuiAu/i' siouv.
Mr. Mulluvll appeared ut tlm llr.r. olliro
yesterday afternoon and desired the pub
lication of his side of the story , llo ml-
milted that there had been trouble be
tween the families for several years mid
that ho and his family were under bonds
to keep the pence , llo said that on Sut-
uriliiy evening Mrs. Mulhall und her
youngest daughter was standing in their
yard near the gate talking when Mrs.
Shlnrook and a neighbor's girl cnir.o
ntong , and the Mullmll girl spoke to Mrs.
Shinrock'd companion. At this Mrs.
Shinrook started after the Mullmll girl
and chased her into the back yard whnro
she ciuighl her and wus pounding her
over the head when Mrri. Mullmll came
to the rescue. When Mra. Mulhall came
up Mrs. Shinrock struck her over
the head with n ball bat ami knocked
her down , Mrs. Mulhall s daughters
then came out nnd u free for an light
ensued , in which Mrs. Shinrock received
a blaelc eve and fainted awav. Then the
friends came to tlio rescue and Airs.
Mullmll was turned over to the police.
Mr. Mulluill's story , us outlined above
was cmbelished with an acuount of
numerous assaults which ho alleged had
been unulo upon his family by the Shin-
rock's. '
Tin : sniNiiocic's sion.
At 2117 Nicholas street , next door to
Mulhall's residence lives the family of F.
T. Shiurock. A Ur.u reporter called at '
the home ycsterduy afternoon to loam
the Collier side of the Saturday
evening row. Ho found Mrs. Shiurock
confined to her room from the results of
her injuries. Her right eye was swollen
shut and her head cut and bruised in sev
eral places. Her statement was that she
started out for a little walk on Saturday
evening and as she passed the gate
Mrs. Mulhall struck her over the head
with a ball bat and kuoekod her down.
Mrs. Mulhall and daughters then
dragged her to the rear of
the house and the daughtera
each held one of her arms while Mrs.
Mullmll pounded her. She fainted before
her husband came to her rescue.
Mrs. Shinrook's story was also full of
alleged indignities , which she alleged her
family had borne from the Mulhalls. The
grown children of the Mulhalls she
alleged wens in the habit of throwing
brickbats ami the coutonts of swill paili
upon her children when they were in
their own-yard. - >

The troubln between the two families
has been aired iu every coirt in the city.
A case is now pending against the Mid
hulls for breaking the peace bonds llioy
gave for assaulting the Shinrouks. The I ! '
Mulhalls also have a damage suit against
the Shmrocks for slander. Both of the
men are apparently good , honest , hard
