Senate.
WASHINGTON , .May 3. The house bill for
the retirement of General Alfred Ploasanton
with the rank of colonel was favorably re
ported , with hn amendment giving him the
rank of majors
' A bill for the rigid exclusion of Chinese
imlgrnnls wns Introduced by Mr. Stewart.
The discussion of the unearned land grant
forfeiture bill wa then resumed.
Mr. Iloar withdrew his amendment with
the explanation that Mr. I'nhnor desired to
offer ono which would accomplish what ho
( Hoar ) intended to accomplish and something
clso.
"Mr. Pnlinor thereupon offered nn amend
ment providing the net shall not bo construed
to prejudice any rights of the Portage Lake
Canal company or Outonngon and Brulo Hlvor
railroad company , or anybody claiming
"under them to apply hereafter to courts or to
congress for any legal or equitable relief to
which they may now bo on titled ,
i : Arguments against the amendment were
made by Senators Berry , Call nnd Kcngnn ,
the ; former declaring his opposition to giving
any railroad company ono foot moro of pub
lic land than It was now abtolutely entitled
io , to which Mr. Palmer replied ho was In
fay or of forfeiting all unearned lands , but
that ho believed in giving fair play to the
railroad companies , lie thought congress
lind erred In going lee far in favor of rail
road companies , but now it wns erring In
following the oscillations of the pendulum the
other way.
A vote wns taken on Mr. Berry's motion to
strike out of the Palmer amendment all
reference to the Ontonagon and Brule llivor
railroad company , and the motion was re
jected yeas 20 , nays SO , The amendment
wns then agreed to. After several other
amendments hnd been proposed and dis
cussed , the bill went over without notion on
the now amendment of Mr. Palmar and will
be taken up to-morrow at the close of morn
ing business.
The sonata then resumed consideration of
the bill for the establishment of a bureau of
animal industry and to facilitate the export
of live stock and other products. Mr. Palmer
addressed the senate in support of the bill
nnd read various communications convoying
the general Idea that the opposition came
from Iho cxislmg bureau of animal industry.
Mr. "Vest snid that if half of what was
staled In the correspondence was true the
commissioner of agriculture should bo hurled
out of oOlcial lifo disgraced and dishonored ,
but ho ( Vest ) did not believe those state
ments. Ho prcccodcd to speak of what ho
called "tho cattle syndicate , " nnd said that
the people wcro helpless and in Its power.
It was the most terrible tyranny over ex
orcised. There were live of thcso firms in
the city of Chicago which regulated the
price of cattle every day. They mot
every night and fixed tno price for the next
day , Thcso men owned the cattle raiser's
property nnd confiscated it as if they poss
essed the right to take it from his farm
without paying him one cent.
"Talk , " saidMr. Vest , "about trusts , talk
about pools , the cattle pool of Chicago Is the
most' ' Infamous tyrrany tlmt over existed in
the United States. They have got their
collar on the cattle producers of the entire
west. The statesman who would invent a
remedy would deserve n monument more en
during than tbo capital. "
Mr. Plumb hnd also something to say on
the same subject. In his opinion the worst
combination in the country wns the combina
tion of beef and pork packers having
" their headquarters In . Chicago. There
wns no trust or combination that
lind hnd so powerful or BO bnncful nn
influence as that combination. For years Iho
prices of culllo lo producers hnd been going
down. They hnd gone down , ho thought , 50
* per cant. In the same time the price of meat
to the consumer hnd gone up , and every
single dollar of the difference hnd gone into
the pockets of that combination. So perfect
wns their control that they know absolutely
not only how many cattle were to arrive each
day in Chicago , but over what road they
were to como , where they had been shipped
from , their character and the mon who
shipped them. AVhen Iho cattle reached Chicago
cage the syndicate's representative was scut
to view them nnd put a price upon them.
No cattle commission man dnrod to sot up for
liliusolf in Chicago. Ills occupation would bo
„ immediately gone. It was safe to say that
on every steer of thrco years old und up
wards raised west of the Mississippi during
the past five ycnrs , the market value had
been by the combination reduced not less
than $10 per head. The damage to the state
of Kansas alone during that , period of time
had been moro than 810,000,000 , and the
wealth of Iho syndicate had grown proper
tionately. This "combine" had allies in the
railroad managers , they had allies in the
railroads , they had made the railroad officials
partners in their stockynrds , partners in
their feeding stations and gave them sops
but of nil the profits derived by thorn from
the time the cntllo were shipped unlil the
cattle reached their destination in Now York
. cr elsewhere.
Ho believed the commissioner of agriculture -
, turo would do ns well with the powers given
in the bill ns .anybody else. Ho had great con-
Jldonco In him. Ho would trust him n thousand
lold before ho would trust any ono in the
"combine. " Ho believed in giving the com
missioner of agriculture nil the powers pro
posed to bo given to the commission and
. would not vote for any measure that would
ddtra'ctrom the dignity und power of tlmt
department.
-QAiri Blair mndo some remarks nnd the matter -
' tor wen't over.
. After executive session the senate ad
journed until Monday.

I- thcso things for which it is chiefly and
pai Ocularly responsible it studiously Ignores.
It has nothiug to say of the growing
antagonism of capital and labor , of the
twenty and odd thousand strikes. The
speaker hero adverted to the wage question
und referred to the remarks of Mr. Allen , oi
Massachusetts , concerning wages in Lowell.
Ho also quoted from Representative Lodges' '
lifo of Alexander Hamilton , and this brought
about nn Interesting running debate between
the speaker und Mr. Lodge. In arguing

Iinnda JUIiii In Jail ,
NEW Yonic , May 3. Guiseppo Cionchotta ,
a restaurant keeper at 59 % Mulberry street ,
called together all the unemployed Italians

.ickets. Over one hundred of them bought
.ickcts and CionchyJ-ta marched them in a
aody to the Grand Central depot. Then ho
suddenly disappeared. When the men at
tempted to board a train they
[ earned that their tickets wcro good
only for the proincnado on the
Brooklyn bridge nnd worth 1 cent cnch.
They then went to a lawyer for advlco nnd
were told to jn-oseeuto Guiseppo for swindling.
Antonio Mardoue , who had pnid for forty of
the tickets , thought ho would take a quicker
means for getting satisfaction , so he sharp
ened his stiletto on n grindstone and went

the stiletto by being arrosled. He is still
locked up. AVhen ho gets out ho will have to

Col. Picrcc's Scheme For Going Umler
the Ocean.
Nniv Yoiuc , May 3. Colonel John II.
Pierce , who has invented a system for rapid
transit for land and sea by a continuous
pneumatic current with arterial terminations ,
described his Invention this evening at the
Church of the Savior. Colonel Pierce hopes
to lay a double-barreled pneumatic tube
across the ocean by which passengers can
travel nt the rate of GOO miles an hour. The
curs can bo made cither 1,000 font long or ten
feet long , nnd will have wheels on nil sides.
They will bo n litt'o ' less thun four feet in di-
amolcr , and the passengers while occupying
thorn will reoiino ou luxurious cushions. Air
will bo let into the cars for pur
pose of ventilation by moans of stop
cocks , and for lighting electricity will bo
used. In order to prevent an undue rush of
air ut the lorrainus a largo number of aerial
exits will DO used , which will enable the ex
presses to slow up properly.
Col. I'ierco will allow the government to
furnish the money ; if not , European gov
ernments will have the opportunity. Hong
Kong , under the new syslem , will bo reached
in twelve hours , and Central Africa in six
hours. Single tickets good for either of the
points mentioned ought not to cost moro
than $20 apiece. Before laying the Allunllo
tubolCol , Plcroo proposes to experiment with
several shorter ones in this vicinity. The
first ho thinks ho will run between Flalbush
nnd the lower portion of this city. People
might laugh ut him , Col. Picrco said , but the
inventors of ull great improvements had
been laughed ut until their enterprises had
proved successful.

It Was a Fatal Woollier.
WACO , Tex , , May 3. News has Just
reached the city of Iho fatal shooting of John
Clost lust night at li 'rcsldenco of Mrs.
Julia Pardons , on tjio Waco nnd Towash
road , eighteen miloihjmrtlt of Waco. Mrs.
Pardon's sister , Miss Emma Caubols , wns 11
visilorat the residciftioynnd John Clost was
in conversation with h'pK when the assassin
fired through a hole lftiV < o wall , the dwelling
being built of logs and Imperfectly plaslered.
The ladies rose in frlghtlat the report of Iho
gun or pistol , but ClMttjpnid quietly , "Blow
out the lamp , " and tliisn being done the at
tacking party retreatu } without repeating
the shot. Clost immediately left thu house ,
and , mounting his hoowu , rode oft. Ho went
to W. V , Hurlock's hqu p , thrco miles away ,
nnd thcro disclosed for Uio first time that ho
was fatally woundodthrough the body. The
bullet entered above ho right hip , traversed
the body und miulo U exit on the left hip.
The theory of the shooting is that it waster
done by u rejected su tor of M Us Cnubolsvvho
was jealous of Iho attentions of Clost.

A Lengthy JHncitRslon on the Huljcct

New Yonu , May 3. Bishop E. G. And'ows
> rcsldcd nt this morning's session of the
tlcthodlst conference. The order of the day
wns the discussion of the report of the com-
nille $ uim the eligibility of women ns lay
delegates tatho. conference. The committee
yesterday reported ngulnst their admission.

When the veto wns being taken
Mrs. Mary C. Nind , of Minnesota ,
ircsldcnt of the Womcns' foreign
nlssionary society stood up to vote. Upon
objection her vote was rejected. Lengthy
speeches followed pro nnd con upon the
report of. thu committee. Rev. Dr. J. H.
Buckley , cdllbr of the Christian Advocate ,
nnd ono of Iho slrongest opimncnts to the ad
mission of women , snld that the question
docs not turn upon the rights of women but
upon n principle. The Episcopalians , Bnp-
.ists and Presbyterians did not admit women
nto their conferences , and there wns not a
Icnomlnatlnn in the world that would admit
women. There Is nothing in the conslitu-
, Ion of the church that Rlvos them the right
to a Boat. . I'lio speaker -wild ho
itood to champion the holy cause of women
lut also stood lo challenge the rlgljt of
women to representation on the body until n
member of their sex had the opportunity to
express an opinion on the subject. The
speaker claimed that every time woman was
ml In a leglslatlvo'body man wns put out to
10 nclvnntn'go of that body. A dozen mem
bers of the conference from all parts of the
country took decidedly opposite views on the
question.
The whole afternoon was spent In the np-

organization.

A Convlot'H Story.
A bright , Intolligont-looking colored
mnn appeared in the urimitml clerk's
oflluo yestorclny anil announced that ho
was just buck from sorvig a , two nnd an
half years' sentence , in the penitentiary ,
or rather , in the Inmnn mines nt Trnoy
City , whore ho had worked out his sen
tence.
Ho gave his name ns Charlie Alex
ander , and asked if the articles , inchul-
ing a watch , etc. , taken from him when
ho entered on his term oi imprison
ment , had boon preserved. While
awaiting the attention of the clerks ho
talked freely of his long captivity to the
bystanders , unaware that a Memphis
Avalanche reporter was present , giving
n. story so different in coloring from
that usually obtained from convicts as
to bo worthy of notice.
"I was sent up for larceny. " ho said.
"I wanted to got married , and needing
money , in a , moment of weakness , took
some of another person's and soon found
inysolf in chains.
*
'l3ut , though deprived of liberty for
a long time , I found nothing to com
plain of in my treatment. It was hard
work , but I was used to that. Mr. Mc-
Lcndon was the warden at the In man
mines , and a better man never lived.
If I could bo sure of Ins remaining
there I wouldn't mind working with
him in the sauio way , for wages , an
other term. "
"Wo wore well fed and clothed at all
times , nnd made us comfortable as pos
sible. What did wo got to eat ? why ,
wo had beans , potatoes , meat twice a
day , und coffee once. Wo hafl molasses
also , occasionally , and gopd milk all
summer , besides other things at times.
"Yes , wo got whipped occasionally ,
but it was nlways our own fault. I got
three , whippings for lighting. That
was the worst whipping given gener
ally about twenty strokes with the
leather strap. If we got lazy , anil
didn't got through our month's task often
ton cars a day for two men , wo got no
tice about ten days before the end of
the month that wo were behind , and if
we did not brighten up and catch
up wo caught it when the month
was out. Thai , sort of shortcoming
cost about seven to ton lashes. On , no ,
sir , the work wasn't moro than we could
do. You see wo worked in pairs , and
had to load ten ore cars a day , holding
about 2,000 pounds each. Nine hours
was a day's work. Wo got pay for any
extra work , after working hours , and
wo made a good deal that way. Besides -
sides wo got 5 cents extra for loading
coal cars.
"Yos , wo were well treated when sick ,
butaomo of the boys were always trying
to play oil sick on the doctor , and'that
made him mighty strict , and when a
man got purely enough sick it was hard
to make him believe it. Wo had preach
ing regular , lee , by the chaplain , and
sometimes ministers would come from
Nashville and other places and preach
to the convicts.
"No , sir ; the wardens wcro not always
as kind as MiMCLonilon. . At first ono
man they had there had a way of whip
ping the men regularly every Tuesday ,
Thursday and Saturday , but Governor
Taylor broke that up. They nro not
whipped now except to keep them
straight , and don't got more than most
of thorn deserve. Sometimes the men
got hurt by accidents , the blowing up of
dynamite and the like , but not often. "
At this point the convict , having ac
complished his errand , left , saying as
he wont out that he intondcd to bo an
honest man in the future.

The First r < 'lnh Story of the Season.
The Bangor Commercial starts off in

paratory to a day's sport , using a chisel
with a handle like a shovel , which by
accident slipped from his grasp anil
disappeared in about six fathoms of

meant harder work to-morrow to get
through the ice without it. Nothing
daunted , lie prepared his line and
placed on the hook a plump live shiner
and returned to camp to relate his mis
fortune. Trying his line shortly after ,
his first impression was that lie had
hOokcd a Chinaman , t-o hard did it
null , but when ho hud landed his catch
imagine his surprise that ho not only
had a line , three-pound trout , hut also
the lost chisel. The bhulo had struck
upright in the mud , the shiner had
swum through the hole in the handle ,
the trout seized him and wound himself
up around the handle , making the cap

CnicAoo , May 3. [ Special Telegram to the
EE.I The local wheat crowd foil bearish
this morning. The government weather map
said that thcro was rain at San Francisco
nnd at Portland , Ore. There wore reports of
rain in Kansas , nnd right hero the atmosphere -
sphere xvns moist nnd gave promise of n rain
storm. Moreover thcro had been a fair ad
vance in prices yesterday , and the local
crowd acts on the supiwsition that two bull
days do not come together. These scorned to
bo the reasons und Influences at work to
umko n lotvor opening this moriiingbut their
power was presently oxlmustcd. There
was too much bull news afloat. As
on yesterday n largo share of
it came from California. There wcro
a great many telegrams from that state on
the tjoor , nnd although they varied greatly
ns to the extent of the damage to Iho wheat
crop , they wcro unanimous as to the fact that
it was sorious. A reliable correspondent In
San 1 ruticisco , in answer to an immirv. said
that the condition of Iho crop % vus bad nnd
that the yield would not bo more than one-
half of that of lost year , nnd possibly less
than that. Under such bullish influences
prices advanced until the highest point of
yesterday was passed and there .seemed1 a
fmr prospect of oven n higher r.inco , but at
the iidvimco some of the old time boars ,
Cudahy and Jones , who wcro buying wheat
early in the session , began to neil and the
tide was turned , and nbout half the advance
was lost before the close of the session.
Hutchison was n free seller early ns well ns
Into , and his wcro the only conspicuous op
erations on that sido. The smaller scalpers
were Ills followers. There was a fair
amount of buying in small lots for coun
try account. July wcat opened at S3ko.
which was Jfo under hist night's closfng ,
sold early at 83&c , then very slowly ad
vanced to S4Vc , held between that prlpo and
Sic for some time , then declined to SaV ®
83Xo , which was the price nt the 1 o'clock
close. June wheat opened nt S2H'c , sold up
to 83 Vc nnd closed nt 1 o'clock ntb2 ff(3S2J ( c.
The interest in the corn market was in
May delivery. The shorts in that month at
tempted to cover and the prieo was run up
on them from G51 c to fi7/c. The snuio
house which took all corn delivered on May
1 , nnd which lind been buying the May fu
ture for weeks , was buying to-day. Consid
erably lighter receipts to-day us compared
with the estimates were probably influential
In driving Iho shorts to cover nnd In the
same direction lended Iho departure of the
grain fleet , decreasing the stock of com In
Chicago 3,000,000 bushols. The strength in
May carried up more deferred futures , but
not to the snmo extent , July com opened at
55c. sold up to 65Jfc and closed at 1 o'clock
at55c. Juno corn opened at 55Vc , sold at
55140 and up to 55c , closing at fih QWi c.
The shorts in May oats seemed to become
uneasy to-day , und were busy covering.
There wns some talk of n "squeeze" hero as
well as in corn , und with thodepnrture of thu
grain licet the stock of oals In Chicago is decreased
creased 080,000 bushels. This demand from
the shorts mndo the market strong , although
the ndvanco was small. For Iho first 1 line In
many months n fair proportion of the regular
oats arriving uro going into store to bo used
to fill short sales. May oats to-day ranged
from 32c to iWc , closing at 32jf c. Juno oats
ranged from 33Vilo S' fc , closing at 83Wo.
July oats ranged from Ji c to 32)fc , closing
atlhe last named price. August outs sold
from 23tfc to 83J e and September from 27Jfo
to USc. f
In the produce market extreme quiet pre
vailed in overruling outside of lard. That
article opened and ruled higher , under an
active demand from shorts nnd peed buying
for foreign account for both cash
and forward delivery. Liverpool cables
on lard wcro also tending upward.
At tbo stock yards Uie hog market was
higher , and Ihis helped lo a generally stronger
tone In that product. Based on yesterday's
closing there was an actual improvement
during the regular session to-day of TKSlOo
in lord futures.
