to Indicate what his action will bo , ho has
offered no serious objection. Barring

President Cleveland having called a retir
ing board of the army to convene to morrow
morning to examine Judge Advocate Gen
eral Swaim , It Is behoved at the citpitol and
war department that General Swaim will bo
pardoned and placed on the retired list. It
is stated that the physicians who made nil
examination some time ago communicated to
the president , that the Judge advocate gen-
eial was suffei ing disabilities which would
wairanthis retiiement. Tno retirement of
General Suaim me.ins the appointment of
General lilack , commissioner of pensions , to
the vacancy. General lilack was around
the coriidors of the senate to dav
ascoi talning the feeling there in ref
erence to his continuation in the
event of his nomination Ho i of used to talk
for publication , but his fueuds volunteered
the information that lie counted on the sup-
DOI t of tin co republicans and all the demo
cratic senators The three republican sena-
tois upon \\hose votes General lilack de
pends are Cameron , Mandcrsonnnd Harwell
Mnndcrson and ( Jamcron are members of the
committee on military ntlalrs , to which the
nomination would bo icferied , mid with the
democrats on ttiat committee would make u
majority and secure a favorable report It
is also claimed Uiat Senator Stewart , of Ne
vada , who voted for Lamnr's confirmation
mid who is also a member of the committee
on military nfTairs , will favor Hlack's con
firmation , although no ono pretends
that ho has given a positive pledge
Provided Mundcrson , Cameron and bte\vuit
voted for confirmation It would leave but
Himloynnd Davis , of Minnesota , on the
military committee opposed to Hlaek. Hut
if General IJlnck is resting upon the ex
pectation that the senators named will vote
for his confirmation he is n victim of mis
placed confidence , and If the president is to
malco the nomination with that expectation
ho will find that ho bus made n mistake. I
could not see Mr , Cameron , who was out
with n partv of friends , but Mr. Farrcll told
mo that no had given no pledges to anjono
on this subject. Ho had been approached ,
nnd his suppoit had been solicited in a per-
Bimsivo manner , and rather than give
ofTcnso ho had said that ha would vote for
General Hlack's confirmation , provided it
was not made a party question ; but when ho
discovered that there was so much bitter
feeling against Ulack on the republican side
of the senate , and that tlio chamber was
coi tain to bo divided upon party lines , bo
bud relieved himself fiom all suspicions by
Borv ing notice upon General Black's friends
that ho could not be depended upon and
should vote against him. Mr. Mnndoison
said that his suiport for General Black's
confirmation was solicited in a similar way.
Ho had given about the same assurances as
Mr. Farwcll , that If tlio parlies
did not divldo on the question
of Block's confirmation ho would vote tocon-
lii m him ; but General Mandctson says he
does not sco how it uin bo pievented , nor
docs ho think lhat Black can be confirmed or
oven baicported favorably from the military
committee. Senator Stowiu t laughed when
nuked if ho intended to vote for Black's con
tinuation , and remarked that it was n piece
of executive business , and ho never told what
he was going to do. When the fact was re-
calleil to his mind that ho had pub
lished a card announcing his inten
tion in the Lanmr case , bo smiled
again and said1 "They are expecting
me tooto for Black because 1 voted for
Lamar , buj , the two cases mo entirely differ
ent. Thcie was no political question involved
in Lamar's nomination , and in the present
case , as I understand it , Prcsido'it Cleveland
Is ti.ylng to piovido for n friend at the ex
pense of the republican party and the welfaio
of the ai my. " This leaves no doubt of Sen
ator Stewart's position. If Black is nom
inated and any effort is made to secure his
confirmation , ns would natuinlly follow ,
thcio will bo ono of the hot
test mid bitterest lights over known
in the Donate , and there is no
possibility of his confirmation. A number
of democratic senators can bo depended
upon to vote ugalnst him , for during his ad
ministration of the pension office ho has
offended a largo number of them and they
would be glad to get a llttlo revenge. Ho
would bo unanimously opposed by the army ,
winch i eprusents n powerful social and po
litical influcnco as much on ' the democratic
as on the republican side. Ho would have
the bitter antagonism of Commissioner Mor
risen , and his official position gives him moro
Influence than ho had in congress. Ho would
also bo opposed by every pension agent
in Washington , and throughout the
country by the Grand Army of the Republic
nnd many oilier soldier organizations , and if
these \ \ til o not milllcient the senate would
reject him on legal ground , because Ihoy
would nuvor advise or consent to the ictlro
mcnt of an able-bodied olllcor , and the np
pointment to the aetlvu list of a man who
under oath has testified thai ho is incapable
of poi forming any menial or phi slt-al labor.
If Black wcio nominated and confirmed as
Judge advocate general ho would bo subject
to retirement the ncxl day , which would bo
equivalent to giving film a pension of1,510
n year for the rest of his life.

UopicbcntnUvo fatrublo , of Sioux City ,
made n stiong speech in the house to day in
fi.vor of the division of the territory of
Dakota and the admission to statehood of
both tha north nnd south portions. Ho also
nnlagonlzul tha admission to statehood of
New Mexico , Ho complimented the dlsposl
lion of quite a number of democratic mem

dication in political affairs when men in

wrshes of the pcoplo mosldiicctly interested

The opinion piavuils to-night that the omni
um bill will go to thobcnnto without provis
ion for the division of Dakota , and that a
confciciKO coiii'iilUco will agree to a division
nnd thu lioubo will accept the conference re

which provides for the admission to state

of thu State rarmets' alliance , signed by llio
president anil secretary and by Iho commit
tee on memorial Messrs. Burrows , Frink
and McUalg in which it Is asked :
Tirst That the senate pass n law fixing
maximum rates of transportation no higher
than those in Iowa ; abolish the boirdof
transportation , and so in range thai Iho
courts bo easy of access to citizens having
cause of complaint against a railroad com
pany , nnd all expenses of prosecution by citi

to maintain Itself under a capitalization of
10 > ,000 per mile , and ask thai Iho road bo
placed In Iho hands of n receiver , oven If 11
involves the entire loss of the debt duo the
United States.
Second That under cover of ceitaln ox-
cmplions of bonds and moneys from taxation ,
and from the fact that only property on hand
on a certain day is to bo listed , larire amounts
of peisonal property escape taxation ; that
under the presenl system ot land tax , the
person nominally the owner , but who as
mortgagor may bo only n partial owner , Is
taxed for the whole value , while the moit-
gagco wholly escapes tax upon his intcicst ,
being often u 11011 resident , and they pray > ou
to devise some measure by which the evasion
of taNCs under the cloak of United States
bunds may be estopped ; that jou pass nn act ,
to enable tno holder of moitgaged lands to
have the tax upon inteiest iniulo a lien do-
ductablo fiom the inteiest or principal of the
moitgage , nnd that the time for listing prop
erty for assessment shall bo any day , instead
of the 1st of April , as at present ; also , that
to lessen taxation , the military ortianization ,
the Ncbiaska National Uuiud , bo abolished ,
and in its stead volunteer cjmp lines bo iiu-
thoiucd without expense to the state , except
when called upon for actual service.
third That to rjfoun the gicat abuses iu
caucuses and convoitions , and to piovont the
mercen.uy tralllc in votes at the polls , jou
will adopt the system of nominating nnd
voting known us the Austialian sjstein ,
similar lo the law pissed in Massachusetts ,
also enact a law to forfeit the chaiter of any
corporation which cndeiuors to influences the
icsultof any election.
Fourth That the insurance laws oper.ito
to provenl associations of pcraons tor the
purpose of mutual insurance , which restric
tions nro solely in the inteiest of eastern
companies , and wo pray that you will amend
the law thai any number of persons may
associate for mutual insurance under just
regululionb lo prcvcnl fiaud , and may pay
olllceis and cmploics.
Mr. Hinsom made a report , from Iho com
mittee on labor , favoring a holiday to bo
know n as Labor day.
Mr. Hoovdr moved a commiltec of five on
township organization , to ncc with the com
mittee ot the house.
Mr. Conner offered a bill that Iho lands of
public mstitulions , nol covoied by Iho pres
ent laws , shall not be sold for less than $2J
per acre.
Mr. Hansom offered a bill providing that
on the formation of a new county out of ex
isting counties a petition signed by a majority
of electors shall bo submitted.
Mr. Hansom's insurance bill , which was
yestci day reported back to thu house for pas
sage , was up on a motion to reconsider.
Mr. Kcckley Ihought fiom the manner in
which insurance is transacted , it is jnoper to
pass the bill. The companies allow their
agents to induce property holders to insure
to as largo nil amount as possible.
Mv. Burton- The adoption of this mcasuio
will induce men to burn their property.
Agents are not experts on the value of prop-
city. Buildcis differ upon thai point , and
how much moro do insurance agents differ.
Piopeity depreciates in value. This bill
puts a piomium on fraud and nison.
Mr. Haiibom If any ono is interested in
preventing arson , ho will pass this bill. The
1,000 insurance agents in this state arc the
instigatoib of the cinno of nrion. In Wis
consin the companies threatened to withdiaw
fiom the state , but the supreme couit do
clarcd the act coustitulional , and
the companies did not witluliaw
fiom Iho state. In Now Hnmpsliiio
the companies actually withdrew fiom the
state , but were all back in less than a year.
This law is identical with thai of Wisconsin
and Now llumpslmc.
Mr. Howe Ihought Ihe personal propeity
clause was a dnugcioui measure.
Mr. Nesbitt said that theio is no oilier class
ot contests of so great importance as this
'Ihero is $50,000,000 worth ol property which
is affected by this bill. Ho favored the mo
tion to recommit.
Mr. Conner said that ? 'iOjOO,000 ( will not
begin to represent the capital of Iho insur
ance companies. The only valid objection is
that personal property depreciates ; so also
does real estate depredate. This is a bill in
Nvor of humanity. Insurance agents now
seek to have application made in the very
highest tiguies that it will bear. The com
pany Itself fixed the amount , and we should
put a stop to insurance companies fiom going
into court ana pleading that the assessment
was too high.
Speeches were made by Messrs. Haymond
Hansom and Conner in favor of the measure ,
and by Howe , Nesbitt and others against it.
Mr. Howe read liom the laws of Wiscon
sin , .showing thai "putsonal piopoiti" was
not included in the laws of tlio state. The
motion to iccommit to thu committee was

Thnt was tlio heartfelt exclamation of e\ory
ono of the crowd of mounters who Illloil tlio

service for tlio burial of tlio tloiul. Among
those present wcio M Oerogos Horror , lioml

deputy ; Mr. and Mrs I'orbes , Mr. and Mrs.
Legay , niul Mr. anil Mi s. William Ingorsol.
Of the Immediate family thcioero present
only William Ilqmiius , the eldest sun , niul
Mrs Niveil , his sister-ln-lnw , with her chil-
ilren. From his Ipng icsidenco iu rianco
mill his important position ns the Euiopcnn
manager of the Now York Llfo Insurance
company , Mr. Haitians had been honored
with numerous decorations , which were dls-
pi iyed upon a cushion. Klght A oars ago Mr.
Homans man led his second wife , who wns
from Now Oilcans , and was in the full
splendor of southern beiuly , Now she in
about thhtv.llveje.irs and Is still a handsome -
some woman She became a sccoiul mother
to his thioo ehlldron , two Mins
mill n daughter. She also hud
n daughter of her own by
n foi mer mm i i.ige. It was the subsequent
perlldy of this henitloss but seemingly hind
wlfo that bi ought the mournful gathering to
the little Amei ie.in ehurcli. Some time after
the couple e.imo to Pai is scandalous reports
concerning his wife's conduit \\cio current ,
but Homaiis turned a deaf car lo them.
Some Unco mohths ago the bubble burst.
When the erash e.uno the blind man's eyes
wore opened His home was wicclccd , his
noble heart was biohen It happened nt
Aivlcsbains , There was nil Italian noblo-
niivn in tlio c.iso. Some b.iv he was a in IncO.
Mr. Homans was his liicnd and lecc-ivcd
him at his table and hail ti listed
him Ono datow.it d the end of September
an .luuutont revealed the whole tiuth. Mrs.
Homans had gone bick to I'.uis , professedly
to arrange her hotel for the winter season.
The pi nice had gone to Geneva , tea \
had said , but ho had covered his
tracks Imtdly , An indiscreet coiicloige re
vealed to the astounded husband that so far
from Swlt/eilaml , his Italian hlgncss was
i eilly in Pai is , and that during their stay at
Aixlesbaincs ho had scctotly occupied a room
opposite that of Mis. Homuiis' . The con
clusion wns easily drawn. Mr. Homnn went
to Paris.When thcro was no longer room for
dotlbt he nrtod us a man has to not In this
country In such' cases On November 2i )
there was a formal complaint lllcd. Tlio
prince , with the nid of a uominissairc do
police , uiiil Mrs. Homans spent the night in
Saint La ? no prison. Mr. Homaiis spent It
pacing the floor of his chamber. Ho came
to another decision. Ho decided that his
wife , howevci great her guilt should not bo
conllncd in a prison to be herded with a
crowd of fallen women , The following d ly ,
uthis request , bho was released on bail ,
tie having icsorved all his rights
for criminal and civil action
against her , having tnlton steps to secure a
divorce. Mr. Hom.ins , quite broken down ,
left Paris socially and went to Urussols. Ho
wanted to bo alone , His wife made frantic
ctToits to secure a reconciliation , and planned
,1 , meeting ono night at the Hotel Hclvuo , in
LSiussuls. Mr. Homins was moused from
liis slumbers by a knocking at the door of his
room. Ho arose and opened the door. In
stantly Mrs. Homano pushed Into the loom.
The shock to Mr. Homans w.ib ticmcndous.
lie gasped for breath and his face bccamo
ivid. Heart trouble was hereditary In
is ! family , and for a few seconds
t was a question whether he would llvo or
llo. His wife piomptly took advantage of
.he situation. She rang for assistance , had
lot wafer brought and mustard poulticed ,
and worked over him for an hour , and when
ho danger was passed and the attendant
withdraw , leaving the two together , It was ! )
o'clock in the moining , Ho was already
compromised by the fact that his wlfo had
remained with him for over an hour. She
loclared that If ho drove her fiorn the apart-
nnnt she would commit suicide in the street.
Jo allowed her to remain , surionduring to .
lur his bedroom , ho Bitting In tlio saloon for
.ho balance of the night. Tlio next morning
10 Insisted on her rotuinlng to I'.uis , but the
mriii was done. Immediately on her arilval
Vlrs. Homans called on the Judge d'lnstiuc-
ion In charge of the case and informed him
that n reconciliation had boon effected. She
ilso spread tlio story about Paris , In vain
Homans telegraphed n denial of the state
ment. Hurrying back to Paris , ho explained F1
the real facts of the caso. The Judgjd'in- '
struction listened p itiontly , but said an investigation -
vestigation must bo made Into the Brussels
iffnir before a divorce could bo granted. An
nvcstlgation in Brussels menus diplomatic in-
tcifcrcnce , nn Indefinite nmuuntof ofllcialrcd
.apo and v , oist of all considerable delay
Now , before any decision has boon reached ,
ilomnus IH dead. Ho died of congestion of
the brain. So the doctors say. Sorrow and
shame killed poor Homans.
