DBS MOINKS , In. , Feb. 4. [ Special Telegram -
gram to THE UKE. ] The Ural Indication for
Bomo.tlmo of anything thatflooked Hko on at
tempt to break tlio deadlock occurred today.
The democrats , with apparent how of ( treat
fairness , proposed tlial the republic-am dU
vide the ofllccs and honors Into two equal
parts , and they would agree to take one. On
the facoof the proposition It looked as If the
democrats were willing to bo very reasona
ble and fnlr , but when analyzed their propo
sition Is simply a covert way of demanding
j ngaln the one thing winch IB in controversy ,
* * namely , the spenkorsHp. For which
ever way the republicans divid
ed the offices , ono pllo would
contain the spoakorshlp , and the dcraocrata
would take that.
Tim deadlock Is not over. The question is
not who shall Uuvo the sorgoant-at-aran or
clerkship , but who shall have the speaker
C phlp. Doth sklci claim It , and the democratic
- proposition today Is simply another demand
for it expressed In a shrewd way. The re
publicans replied that they couldn't accept
any proposition of that kind , but they suit
posted tint If the democrats would submit , a
choice to them they would consider It fairly.
It Is not unlikely that this will bo done In a
dnyortwo. Then will foliowsotnoconference
nsio terms , iintl tlio deadlock may bo broltcn
by the end of the wcok. The republicans
nro absolutely Immovable In their deter
mination to hold out for the speauership ,
even If tlio legislature Is never organized.
The first political scoop of the session
occurred in the sonulo loduv. A democratic
senator introduced a resolution purporting
to cotno from aoino G A. H. post In Oieeola
county , which lashed tlio republicans in the
Bcnato for their alleged noglcct of the old
Boldlors In the selection of officers aud em
ployes. They hail chosen civilians for score-
tiry and his two assistants , and had chosen
n civilian for sergeant nt-nrm3 , but
Bouio democrats now saw n chance
to make some politic.il cap !
tnl and had this resolution adopted ,
It vas very hitter in tone nnu called upon
their dcsconaanlB to the third nnd fourth
Kenci.itlon 10 point' to the ropublluun son-
atom with shame. The democrat who m
/ traduced the resoluttou made a demagog !
(1 p/jeech full of pretended ayuipathy for th
JiO\t\\er \ \ \ and grief at hi * treatment by the
'Iowa ropuhllcans. Several speeches fol
lowoiMvliUsh were very warm , and scored
"
"
" iiia" democratic hypocrisy in this attack
Tney brought out the fact that while four ol
the olllours In the senate were civilians ,
seven outofnino of tno doorkeepers arc
soldiers , and that the Die cleric and novoral
other clo > Its arc soldiers. The uoatmlstross.
engrossing clerk and bill clerk are nl
daughters of soldier * . Of the twenty-nine
republican members of the senate , feurtoen
served in the union army , and seven of th
fifteen civilians were less than eleven yean
old when tlio war broke out. Ofthctweuty
ono democrats , but two were soldiers , and ol
the eighteen remaining but three are now
under forty yeurs of ngo , leaving sixteen
who wore old enough to have served but dli *
not do so , The republicans exposed thi
democratic sham sympathy with thu soldier
In a very lively way , and then the offend In
resolution was withdrawn.
This was the second Tuesday after th
the temporary organization of the houoand
some republicans wcro in favor of holding
the election of United States senator today.
Hut the majority concluded to defer the
election till the second Tuesday after the
permanent organisation , as Senator Allison
Is In no danger by tlio delay.

Icruld , Star and Freeman's Journal com-
illicd for contempt of court was again nd
jurncd yesterday. It adjourned a fortnight
go In consequence of Irregularity In the scr-
ice of Iho uotlco of motion , A "Mr.
Hank" hud boon commanded to appear nnd
tiow cause why bo should not bo sent to
ill , but Mr. Justice Uutt preferred somo-
ling moro aulm.Uo and tangible- and nd-
jurnod the hearing for a fortnight to glvo
lie plaintiff an opportunity to effect correct

rcbly suro. Notices were served on Mr.
Touhy , tha Freeman's London rcpresonta-
ivc , and Mr. Porter , the printer ot tbo
taper and company. Captain O'Shea sat
m mediately beneath tils counsel looking as
Irm nnd sprnco as In hU parliamentary days.
Sir Charles lUmell , Q. C. , being unable to
cad for the defendants , Mr. Asqulalla took
charga of the case for the accused nawspa-
lois. George Lewis wns , of course , at bis
elbow. Solicitor General Sir Kdwurd Clur k
nppearcd for Captain O'Shoa. When t ho
cases wcro culled Asqulntto interposed. Ho
said ho understood that the solicitor general
> reposed to bring on threa motions , ono
against Mr. Touhy , a London journalist
connected with the Freeman's Journal com-
> any. Ho bad to as It that all these motions
itniid ever on the ground that Sir Charles
[ lussell was unfortunately uroventcil
jy indisposition from being present and
night bo for some little time to uouio. His
clients felt tint in a matter of such gravity
t was extremely Important that ho should
jo heard when the motion came on. Sir
Edward Clark at once Intimated that ho
assented to a postponement. Sir Clark said
that Russell's Illness was sufficient reason
for an adjournment. This waa a matter ot
grcMt gravity and importance nnd ho shoulc
'jo ' most reluctant to go on with the motion
at a time when these against whom it was
directed did not have the fullest assistance.
I'bo court , under these circumstances
agreed at once to a postponement , but he
liopod It would bo understood thai
during tbo Interval between this am"
coming up of the motion there would b
no repetition of tbo issue of the mutters o
which wo complain. Mr. Justice Hull I SCL.
that stated in the affidavit. I suppose there
will bo no difficulty about that.
Mr. Asquintto Tno papers have only boon
sold to representatives of my learned frlonds
Mr. Justice Uutt I think that it is possi
ble they went into the oflico as ono of tbo
public. That fuot ought to make it all the
easier to give an agreement not to sell them.
Then the motions bad better stand over
till next Tuesday.

PAIUS , Fob. 4. [ Now Yorit Herald
Cable Special to TUB Hnn.l Aboutl o'clock
on Sunday morning two policemen on a beat
in the Uue Proux Court noticed u door stand
ing opon. It gives access to u court where
Mine. Barroy , a widow of olgnty , keeps a
number of hand carts for lure , from which
bha makes a living. Oa entering the court
tbo officers found that the door of the room
in which Muio. Uarroyllyes was also open
and Inside It they found tbn eld woman lying
on a bed dead with a pillow ever her head.
All tbo drawers of tbo cupboard In hnr room
had boon broken open and rausuckod. This
wns sufficient to convince tha commissary ot
police , who was at ouco sent for , that the
old woman had boon murdered much after
the fashion thut Olhollo killed Dusdomnna.
The murdered woman was supposed by the
neighbors to tuvc amassed a comfortable lit
tle fortuan by industry and economy. This
latter virtue she carried to oxiiusj and had
frequent quaricls with her only son , a mid-
dhvagcd man whom she had sot up In tbo
same line of business as herself m another
part of town , but who of ton had recourse to
her to got him out of pecuniary difficulties.
Hurroy was at once sent for and on being
apprised of hU mother's death showed no
signs of astonishment. He admitted having
dined wllli his mother on iho evening of the
murder , but said ha quitted her at 10
o'clock. Ho accused a young man named
Macro , often employed by , ' the docasod
to do odd jobs , of having commUlod the
crime. Macra wus arrested , but furnished
an incontrovertible alibi. The suspicions of
the police now turned on Utrray himself ,
though tboro are as yet no material proofs of
bis guilt. Ho has been arrested and was
this morning taken to the morgue and con
fronted by the corpse of bin supposed vic
tim. Ho.throiv hlmsolf on his Knees beside
tbo body aud kissed thu cold fuua repeatedly ,
Declaiming with tears running down his face ,
"Ma puuvro , uicro. " A post-mortem exam
ination ihowed that sbo suffered from peri
carditis. It la thought likely thut Harroy's
visit to his mother on tha ovaning of the
murder was prompted by a deslro to obtain
from bar money to pay small debts , and tbo
old woman , refusing to help Him , a quarrel
ensued , resulting In Mme , Uarroy'a falllni ;
Into a lit , wnlch her disease aiding , caused

David Dudley Field.
When Ex-President Cleveland , who was
chairman , stopped forward to open tlio meet-
ng , It was some minutes before ho could
speak because of the npplauso. Bowing his
acknowledgments and expressing his appro-
elation of the welcome accorded him , Cleve
land began his addi ess , which was as fol
lows :
Wo are accustomed to express on every ( It
occasion our reverence fortho virtue nnd
patriotism In which the foundations of our
republic were laid , and to rojolco in the
blessings vouchsafed to us under frco in
stitutions. Thus \\ohavo lately celebrated
with becoming enthusiasm , the centennials
of tlio completion nl our constitution nnd the
imiiguratiou of our llrst president.
To-day wo Imvo assembled to commcmo
rnto an event connected with our beginning
as a people , which tuoro than any other gnvo
safety and tlio promise of perpetuity to the
American plan of government , and which
more than any other , happily illustrated tlio
wisdom and enlightened foicsight of those
who designed our national stiucturo.
In the work of creating our nation , the
elements of n free government were supullod
by concoisioR * of sovereign states , by sur
render of accustomed rights , and by the lu.
BDiration of pure nnd disinterested patriot'
ism. If from these elements there had not
been evolved that feature in our federal sys
tem , which is our theme today , the structure
might have been fair to look upon und might
have presented a semblance of solidity and
strength ; but it would have been only a soin-
blancc ; and the completed cdllico would
have had within its foundations , the mllrin-
ity of decay and ruin.
It must be admitted that it is hardly within
the power of human language , so to compass
diverse interests and cluluis within the lines
of a written constitution , us to free it en
tirely from disputes of construction ; and
certainly diverse constructions wcro ant to
lurk in tbo diction of a constitution declared
by the president of tlio convention which
formulated it , to bo "thu result of a spirit of
amity and of that mutual deference and con
cession which the peculiarity of our political
situation rcnaercd indispensable. "
It is fairly plain and palpable , both from
reason and a review nf events in our history ,
that without an arbiter to determine finally
ana conclusively the rights and duties em
braced In the language of the constitution ,
tbo union of states and tbo life of tbo Amer
ican nation must huvo been precarious and
disappointing. Indeed , there could hardly
have been a well grounded bopo that they
would long survive the Interpretation of the
national compact by every party upon whom
it rested , and the insistence of each to the
last extremity , upon such an interpretation
as would secure coveted rights and benefits ,
and absolve from Irksome duties and obliga
tions.
In the creation of the world , the earth was
without form and void , and darkness was
upon the facu of the deep , until God said Lot
there bo light , and there was light.
In the creation of the now nation , our frco
institutions were without the form and sym
metry of strength , and the darkness of hope
lessness brooded ever the aspirations of our
people , until a light in the temple of Justlco
and Law , gathered from the Dlvino Foun
tain ot Light , Illumined the wort : of the
fathers of the republic.
On this centennial day wo will devoutly
thank Heaven for the revelation to tboso
who formed our government , of this source
of strength and light , and for the inspiration
of disinterested patriotism and consecrated
devotion which established the tribunal
which wo toduv commcmoruto.
Our fathers hud sacrificed much to be freo.
Above all things they desired freedom to bo
absolutely secured to themselves und their
posterity. And yet ivith all their enthus
iasm for that sentiment , they were willing to
refer to tbo tribunal which they devised , ull
questions arising under tbolr newly formed
constitution , affecting the freedom nnd the
protection and snfotv of the clllzan. 'J hnnuh
bluer exporlenco bad taught them that the
instrumentalities of government might tres
pass upon freedom , and though they had
IQJI nea In a hni d school tno uosi of the strug
gle to wrest liberty from the grasp of power ,
they refused , m the solemn work they had
in hand , to takn counsel of undue fear or
distracting perturbation ; und tbo.v , calmly
and deliberately established as n function of
their government , a chock upon unauthor
ized freedom and a restraint upon dangerous
liberty , 'Jliolr attachment and allegiance
to the sovereignty of their states
were warm and unfaltering ; but tlieso did not
prevent them from contributing a fraction of
that sovereignty to the creation of a court
which should guard nnd protect their new
nation and save and perpetuate a government
which should in oil tlmu to coma bless uu In
dependent pcoplo
1 deem myself highly honored by the part
assigned to mo lu tlieso uommoinoratlvo ex
ercises. As in eloquent and lilting tirms
wo shall bo led by these chosen to address
us , to the contemplation of tbo history of
tliut august tribunal organized ono hundred
years ago ; as tbo lives und services of these
who in the past bavo presided over Its coun
cils are rehearsed to us ; as our love and ven
eration for our fellow countrymen who now
fill Its high und sacred places uro quickened ;
nnd as wo are rnmlndod of the manner In
which our national court has at all time il-
lustruted the strength and benoficanco of
free Institutions , let us bo clad in the posses
sion of this rich heritage of American citi-
zunihlp , and gratefully annrouluto the wis
dom and patriotism of these who gave to us
the supreme court of the United States.

Vftcr reviewing the lilMoty of the constltu-

lowii to the present hoodn of the supreme
.rlliuuut and said the work should Imvo
Borne relief from the Immense burden now
: nst upon It. This can only bo done by log-
slatlvo action. Tha Justices already do nil
n their power , for cacti ono examines
jvery case nnd passes hi In-
.llvidual Judgment upon It. Up to
.ho middle of the present century
, ho calendar of the court did not average
no hundred nnd forty coses each term , und
icvr amounted In any dno term to thrco
j uml red cases. The calendar of the present
enu exceeds fifteen hundred cases. In
. -low of the condition. of the court Its
crowded docket and the multitude of ques
tions constantly brought before It of the
greatest and most extended Inlluenco , surely
It has n right to call upon the country to
give It assistance and relief. Something
must bo done in that direction nnd should
bo done speedily to prevent delays to suits
now existing. To delay Justice la as per
nicious as to deny it.
After Justice Field's uddrois there was
music , following which Hov , Tnlbot W.

ended the literary exercises.

Is u woman of strong mental and physic tl

1 ho funeral of Walker Ulalnotook place
at the Presbyterian church "with the slmplo
'arm of service to which the mombars of
t denomination nrc familiar. Tbo funeral
) f Mrs. Coppingcr took place at St.
latthow's Catholic church , Thomas Sher
man , the Jesuit son of General Sherman ,
lolng the ofllciatine priest , with Cardinal
jibbons sitting In the bishop's chair. Mrs.
Coppiuger Joined the Catholic church shortly
before her marriage and the act
of BO 'prominent a lady in society
returning to the faith of her ancestors
created quito a stir In Washington circles.
Her husband , Colonel Coppinger , was bora
n the Catholic church and for a time served
in the popo's guard In Koine. Tbero was a
very largo nttondanco at the church and It
was a most distinguished gathering. The
President nnd Mrs. HarrisonVico ; President
'
nnd Mrs. 'Morton , Secretary and Mrs. Wln-
dom , Secretary and Mrs. Proctor , Secretary
and Mrs. HUSK followed the mourners and
sat behind them , while the remaining scats
of the main aisle wcro occupied by members
of the diplomatic corps , senators and repre
sentatives in congress and other oHlcials
with their families. It was the llrst lime
that General Sherman's son had over sung
high mass in Washington , and in addition to
this attraction tha presence of the
cardinal brought out tbo Catholic society
of Washington. The arrangements .ut the
church , however , were such as to exclude
all ( jxccpt the immediate friends of the fam
ily and people of distinction until after the
services hud begun , when the doors were
opened and u thousand or moio people who
had for an hour been clamoring for admis
sion wcro allowed to enter. The president
did not go to the grave. Ho lot : bis private
carriage for Mrs. Harrison , who was ts-
corted by Mr. Wanamauer , ancj getting into
the ofllclul carriage of the executive mansion
with Mr. Hnlford drove to the residence of
Mr. Bancroft Davis , where ho spent a half-
hour or moro witb Secretary Tracy talking
ovoV with him the arrangements , for the fun
eral of the Inttor's wife and daughter. Tbo
coremonies'at the Bravo were very impres
sive. Young Father Sherman read the sor-
Vlca ot the Catholic church with the cardinal
standing besldo him. The latter took no
part in the ceremony except to sprinkle holy
water upon the flowers that covered tbo cas
ket.
TIlACn'S IIUIXBD IIESJDEXCE ,
There bavo been largo crowds of people
around the ruined residence of Secretary
Tracy all day and most of the carriages
from the "Hlalno funerarwero driven by it
on their way fiom the cemetery. There ap
pears to be u great curiosity not only among
the common people but among these in
fashionable society to Inspect the place , nnd
to sea the windows from which the victims
jumped or were taken out. Mr. Tracy rose
this morning about i ) o'clock , dressed him
self , took a light breakfast with u good ap
petite and expressed a dcsiro to attend the
funeral of Mrs. Coppinger , but of course
that was not permitted. Ho was to have
been removed to tbo white housa early in
tbo day but when tbo president called upon
him there was a consultation und the phy
sicians advised that ho should not bo moved
in his present stnto of weakness and ngita
tlon , but ut B o'clock ho was so much im
proved that the physicianR consented to his
removal and ha was taken over by his son
anil Dr. Wales m a closed carriage. The
secretary was strong enough to walk from
the entrance to the elevator alone ,

accepted the alternative. General Clayton
was killed und Mr. UrocklnrUtgo sentto con

the expressions of Indignation on the pat t o
the people throughout the country , that Mr
Urcckinridgo would not have the hardlhooc
to occupy tbla blood-stauiod scat , but ho ha
continued to sit In it and la help the loading
