OONSOIOD8 TO THE LAST MOMENT. Turn Ing to HH | Wife Hi : Wlil irrcil "Motlier , " nrul Closi'd HH | 1'ycn 1'orever Tributes From For mer WASH i XOTON , April 13. It was a sad and touching scene at the Hnndall residence on C'apitol hill when Congressman Samuel J. Hundull expired at ii o'clock this morning. Around his bedside wcro gathered the family , Hobert E. Handall , his brother , the physician nnd Postmaster General Wanamaker , who had all kept constant watch during the night. A few moments before death lie opened his eyes and looking tenderly at his wife said in a.low tone : "Mother , " u word instinct with all the happiest recollections of their long nnd happy married life , nnd by which ho always called his wife when none but the family wcro near. He looked into her eyes as if about to say something mm-o , but seemed to have no strength left , and In n few momenta ho passed away and the watchers saw all was over , and the bravo wife and daughter who nursed and cared for him during his long illness could restrain their feelings no longer , but gave way to their grief. Randall's death had been expected any tlmo during the last three days , and ihe family and friends knew he could not last much longer. Friday night had been a bad ono for the sick man nnd ho had several sink- iiigspcllsfrom which ho rallied lo the astonish ment of the physicians. These , however , left him weaker , and when morning came it was evident that his extraordinary vitality had almost left htm. Ho rested easily nnd conifortablyduring the forenoon of thu day , and the doctor encouraged Iho hope lhal he might live several days yet. Shortly after 'I o'clock , however , a marked change was noticed and he seemed almost to sink away. This spell was worse than any of the preceding ones , and it was thought the end was at hand. At li o'clock he rallied some what , but it left him with very little strength nnd the doctors became convinced lhat ho could hardly live through the night. About yI0 ! ho had another sinking spell and afterwards his mind became more clear. The sick man lay in an east room and daylight was just beginning to shed its rays into the sick room when Handall oK'ned | his eyes , and after speaking lo his wife once , gradually sank away. The shock was especially severe lo Mrs. Hundall and her daughter Susan , who have nursed the husband and father through his illness of almost two years duration. Post- hiuster LJencral Wanamaker and others at length succeeded in inducing them to retire nnd to try lo refresh themselves with sleep. Randall's illness dates back abnutlivcyears when Dr. Mallcn , wlip attcijJed him llirough- 0 t his late illness , w. a . alien to treat him for gout. July { i , almost two years ago , Kandall was suddenly sei-cd with violent ditirrhaa and hemorrhage during the night , duu to has tily eating a dish of ice. cream and berries during the day. This hemorrhage was so se vere as to completely nrostralo him and his life WU3 in imminent' danger. Dr. Mullen r.nys lhat for some time previous to Ihis Han dall had befcn troubled with what hesupposcd wcro hemorrhoids. The diarrhuia attack caused the disease to assume an active form tiuditwas fill-id that ho was sufferinir from an extensive a til malignant abscess. Handall ralliedgrow stronger and wus gelt ing on fairly well until lust February , when ho hud a severe rigor , brought on probably by the weather. This rigor was accompanied b'y se vere abdominal p.iins , nnd there were symp toms of peritonitis. From this time exhaus tion began to set in and the sick man's course was downward. Up to a short time ago Handull had confi dence in his ability lo pull Ihrough and told his congressional visitors that ho was mend ing and would bo able to soon resume his con gressional duties. Ho joined Ihe Presbyte rian church about two months ago , Mr. Wanamaker having spoken to him on the subject. The news of Randall's death became quite generally known during the day. It wa.s cx- pcclcd and theix fore was not so much of a shock as it olhcrwlsu would have been. A large number of persons called at the resi dence during the day to express condolences. The president nnd Mrs. Harrison sent a basket of flowers with u note expressing deep sympathy. Speaker Heed called during the afternoon to express his regrets and to learn the wishes of the family with respect to the funeral services. Among other callers were Secretary Blaiuc , ex-Senator Ferry of Michigan , who stood next to Randall during the electoral count proceedings ; cx-Spouker Carlisle , Represen tatives Brcekinridgo of Kentucky , Springer of Illinois and many olhcrs. The remains have been embalmed nnd placed in a casket nnd it is said the dead man presents a lifo-liko appearance except thai ho Is emaciated and wasted to u remarkable de gree. The expressions of regret at Randall's death arc numerous and sincere. None paid him a higher tribute of admiration and re spect than his democrallocolleagues in the hutise who differed with him vitally upon ono ' of iho most important measures in'comnxss. . Representative- Mills sjtoko feelingly and earnestly. "Ho was a very great man , " said he.a man of unimpeachable intp rily nnd n natural bom leader of men. Ho had more of the elements of leadership limn any man I have come in contact with since I have been in public life. Nothing but bis views on the tariff could have prevented him from being Ihe leader of Iho democratic parly. If it had not been for thai ho would havebeen nominated for president in l ! > T5 , " said Mills with emphasis. ' 'Ho would have been elected and seated , for ho would have assorted his rights. But when ho believed his opinions were right ho would never change them , no mutter what might happen. Why , when our tariff bill was up 1 pleaded with him , urged anil begged htm to make some concessions , but ho be lieved ho WHS right anil coTild not bo moved. When oil of his parly except Bowdcn and one or two others had come over ho still held out and would not move. That was the only thing on which we differed. There Is nothing good and great you cannot say about Hundull. " Speaker Reed said : "My esteem for him was very great , and I always had expressed the highest admiration for his steadfastness uud eouragn. He wus a good friend , a brave man and u statesman beyond reproach. " t'arlisle said : "Our relations hud been not only friendly , but wo were quite lull- inute. 1 always regarded him as an honest man i.i public llfo and ho was undoubtedly a man who hud strong convictions and ihe courage to stand by them. 1 thluk his dcalh is u greui loss to hfa party ami to the country and ho deserve * to Itt ) remembered for u Kix-at many important public services. " At 10 o'clock tnnlahl Mr. Wamimiikcr said Jrii ? funeral hud Boon lixed for Thursday morning. The arrangements will Iw iu charge of u congixvniuual committee to bo ap- | Hluted lumoiTuv. Mrs. Handall prefers 1 hat the services b * hold in the Metropolitan Presbyterian church , of which Mr. Randall wa-s u member , un-A in ' - not the house of repre- bonlalivos. Attc the ivremouios the funural Kirty will takea special train to Philadel phia , where the tiitiruii'til lakes pluco iu the Randall family Tuull in Laurel lull ivmelcry. A friend of > lr.

He Is Andrew Jefferson Fums- worth , formerly of Quincy , 111. Fifteen years ago he disappeared from his home there and from that time unlil now his friends have heard nothing from him. His wife and two children moved to Cin cinnati , whereMrs. . Farnsworth. having received supposedly reliable news that her husband was dead , man-led C. K. Holly of that city.

She communicated the facts to her broth , J. E. Pratt of St. Louis , who tonight removed the unfortunate man to his home. From the circumstances surrounding the case it is believed Farnsworth visited Quincy early in the year lo rejoin his family nnd there ascertained th.it his wife had moved to Ciiicimiali.

Isaac says he and Hiram's wife were parties to n conspiracy to lure Hiram to an abandoned camp in Lebanon.

W SIIIXOTOX , April 13. Under the terms of Hoar's notice the senate was to be asked to sit Monday until tno Montana election cast- was disposed of , but the mailer will probably go over unlil Tuesday since Iho announce ment of the death of Randall. In announcing his intenlion lo ask Hie senalo to take up the Montana election case tomorrow Hoar stated that the republicans had no intention of fur ther discussing it. Mr. Hawley , at the first opportunity , will call up tbo world's fair bill. Ho may 'get it before the -.emite in the morning hour Tues day , and it no debate should arise it will be passed l > cfore Iho Montana case comes up. In addition to the appropriation bills the senate will be asked by Hale lo lake up and dispose of the Chinese enumeration bill. The death of Randall will , it is presumed , postpone further debate in the house on the bill to ( stablish a national zoo in Washington , which was the order for tomorrow , until the next district day. The debute of the naval appropriation bill is tbe only enlivening feature in prosjiect for Hn-.woek , olherwifo llie proceedings promise to be of a purely routine character. The naval committee is making every effort to overcome the adverse action of the house in committee of Ihe whole on Iho balllo ship clause. The Indiana case of Posey vs Parrel and the Virginia case of Bowen vs Buchanan , are on. As the reports favor the silling demo cratic members , little tlmo will be consumed. The legislative appropriation bill will till out the remainder of Iho tiimr up to Saturday , which will be devoted to eulogies upon the late Representative Cox. An Interview AVith Stanley.

ENLISTMENT' OF INDIANS , Major Eonrke Thinks Proctor's Proposition a Good One. THE RED-MEN MAKE GOOD SCOUTS.

O. , April 13. > Captain John G. Bourke , who has had as much exiwriencc In Indian fljrhting us any of- llccr of his ngc and rank , snid tonight : "No more Important sugge .lion has emanated from the war department ( hiring recent years than that just submitted by Secretary Proc tor to the department of the Interior looking to the enlistment as part of the permanent military establishment of a full regiment of American ludians. The proposition cnn in no sense be lookrd upon us a new one. The English , French and Spanish colonists at a very early date subsidized large bodies of savages lo make war upon other savages , as well a.s upon rival settlements. The Spaniards of Florida were kept in n condition of terror by the Tcmosscs and other tribes. wRieh they alleged were supplied and directed by the English colonists in Georgia. The Canadian French armed the Cumulian Algonkins. Dur ing our war of 1S12 England sent scalping knives by the gross to her red skinned allies along the great lakes and took to her bosom and commissioned as n brigadier general in her army Brant , the chief who was to lead the attack upon the American settlements. The value of these auxiliaries was recognized so long ns hostili ties lasted , but the necessity for their emolu ment having ceased they wore' allowed to drift back into their normal barbarism. That there were objections to the employment of such forces ean be seen at a glance. War at all times cruel became ruthless in their hands. There were diMculties in the way of language as well jjs in the reluctance of talented ofll- cors to serve with such warriors , who must ns n rule have felt disheartened at the con templation of the complete severance of all civilized tics which life in the American wilds then involved. But such objections no longer exist , or only in a minimized degree. The American Indian brought face to face with civilization has changed greatly in habits and character since the construction of the transcontinental railroads and has adopted the 1'ood , dress , and not a little of the language of his border confreres. Viewed in the light of military elllcicncy no finer soldiers can be found anywhere i'n the world than the American Indians. Their skill and courage in campaign have been at tested time and again and by no more willing witnesses than the ofliecrs and soldiers of the regular army whoso business it has been to pursue and light them. We have hero under our hands the most perfect of material , it needing no instruction in horsemanship , in inarching , in competency to look out for itself in all sorts of weather , under any kind of dis advantage , skilled in the use of the rillc and revolver , and dexterous in plotting as well as evading ambush. "As a matter of expediency each Indian sol dier enlisted is one subtracted from the ele ment of smouldering discontent which way at intervals for vears to coine Hash into flame on the reservations when the friction of a too oppressive Gaccassian civilization may become unbeara ble. The disbursement of regular salaries , contingent upon good behavior , will- have a beneficial effect in more ways than can be ' enumerated. Each soldier n't the end of his enlistment would bo a capitalist anxious to increase his wealth , and were the regiment to bo mounted as it might and should bo , the personal property of its members for the use of which under the regulations additional payment should be giucn , whole tribes would speedily become raisers of stock , an industry for which the native American is especially well adapted. " ' In the event of a foreign invasion of this country , the whole of our mnlo Indian popu lation could be mobilized with most excellent results. Granting for the sake of argument that there is any power in Europe which could venture upon such an invasion , not less than 100,000 men would be needed to make the first lodgement. To bring these and their equipments , provisions , etc. , to our shores , would demand not less than 100 of the largest vessels now afloat. Hardly could a camp bo established at any jwint on our coast before a few thousand or a few hundred of Indians enlisted could begin the favorite sport of devilling the garrison to death- devilling plebes on the color line in camp at West 1'olnt would be nothing compared to it. They would crawl up , fire into camp at the most unexpected moment , shoot arrows or lances into the sentinels and make off with themselves without being discovered , set fire to the buildings and tents , stampede the horses and commit other pranks , which would speedily wear out the best'urmy Europe has had in years. The enlistment' of Indians in solid regiments , as we have seen , was resorted to by earlier generations. Within recent times our regular army bus been restricted to the employment of u force of scouts whoso number has never exceeded 1,000. Of the- ex cellent , the invaluable services rendered by these scouts in all of the campaignscondiu-te'd by the late Major General Crook , that olllcer was always ready to bear willing ami emphatic testimony. He used his scouts in the Held during times of war and retained them after peace had been secured as a police force to preserve order on the reservations. The IKilico of the lied Cloud , Spotted Tail and uther reservations in Nebraska and Dakota mid of the San Carlos and White Mountain reservations in Arizona were of that officer's L'lvallon and did no small good in bringing order out of chaos and discipline out of tur bulent bands of Indians lately on the war iiath. Ho would have approved Secretary Procter's idea to the fullest extent , believing that under every point of view no better dis- [ Wsllion of our Indians could bo made. " COMMKKCIAL IlKCIPUOCITV. There is no doubt that with the work of Secretary Hlaine , the absence of all conflictIng - Ing or obstructory elements in the tariff bill , the position of the senate on foreign relations ind the proposition of Chairman Hltt of the liouso committee on foreign affairs some kind jf advanced ste-is will bo taken by this con gress in the direction of commercial recip rocity with the South and Central American states and Mexico as an outcropping of the [ tan-American congress. noi-TELLc rcr.i.s HCKT.

The government consented to a mass meet ing , but Insisted that it should be held In ihe court yard of Iho military barracks , an un comfortable place in which to get up n revo- lulion. QThe court yard was crowded with excited working men this morning nnd the neighbor ing streets were tlllod wiih carbineers , in fantry and artillery. A force of cavalry was also ut bund. The entire preparations wcro directed by Prime Minister Sigiior Crispi. The police inspector in command stood close to the president of the meeting nnd warned the speakers when they handled the govern ment too roughly. The nobility , clergy and middle classes were denounced , and finally n working man , DC Sanctis , declared that the government had reduced the toilers to n con dition of slavery and would neither give them work nor bread. The ministry had adopted n barbarous system of treating the masses ami their condition win unendurable. Here the inspector warned the speaker , wbereu * > on Do Sanctis shrieked : "Take me to prison , 1 am tired of suffer ing. " A terrific scene of confusion followed , dur ing which the orator shouted : "Our only hopfe is lo lake up arms. " The inspector put on his official scarf and bugles were sounded. Then the working men were ordered to dis-terse. They roared angrily , and the troops advanced with fixed bayonets and the carbineers cleared the court yard. It was feared that the mob was aboul to at tack the oflico of the finance minis ter and the building was closed and prepared for defense. Some of the mob fell upon the carbineers with sticks and several arrests were made. Later on the crowd tried to organize in Ihe Frazzu Danlc , but were dis persed. All the prisoners were released to night except Do Panctis. The workingmcn announce that they will hold a.meetiug nest Sunday , with or without permission. A serious riol is feared , but the government is noting with intelligence and patience , and suspect that a powerful Neapol itan combination against Crispi's government , which will try to overthrow it at the ai > - preaching general election , is secretly fanning the flame of discontent so that discord may follow. .4 YICTOltV 1'OK TUEM'KESS.

Act one of the comedy , il may bo necessary lo recall. consisU'd of the publication in Co- carde , a Boulangist evening paper , of ad vance extracts from a volume in which were recapitulated the hillings of Ihe big court of inquiry by which Botilunger and his accom plices , Hochefort and Dillon , were tried and condemned. The .senrlors fret toil and fumed until the powers that then were shouted , "Arraign for theft or complicity herein the pel-sons who hud a hand in the publication of the documents in question. ' ' So the curtain rose on act two , in which Odile Warnon , an employe of the oftk-o in which was printed the high court volume , Kcrviche and Terrail Menueix , respectively editor-in-chief of Coearde tried editor and - - , were and convicted by a trio of Paris police court judges. Terrail Mermeix , who in the inter val has blossomed forth into a representative- of popular suffr.ige in Paris , appealed against the sentence of four months' imprisonment passed u'Km him. Tims the third and final act opened yester day in the assize court of the Seine. The stuffy litllo court room was packed with nn audience composed in the main of journalists. Odilo AVarrion , who was first examined , re counted how , 11 red with the idea of doing n good service lo Iho Boulangist cause , to which he was attached , he had secreted ono of Ihe volumes us it left the hands of the binder and had taken it to the ofllec of Co- carde. There ICervicho had received the book. Mermeix then told of i-eceirlng the volume from Kcrviche and having it printed with out asuing Kervichchow he had obtained possession - session of it. Korrleho himself stated that ho had not considered it necessary lo ask Warrion how ho had got the book. Tlio interest of the public In the case In re ality begun only when ihe first of the wit nesses for the defense was called for. The real question at issue was whether n jour nalist is or is not required to be inquisitive regarding the manner in which the copy he publishes has been obtained. Mcrmeix had the approbation of a majority of his colleagues of the Paris press without dlstinclion of itolilics. One nfler an other editors and journalists of high standing deposed In his favor , and Ferry of the Franco Heimberl , journalist and municipal council lor , declared that ho would bare douc just as Mcrmeix had done. Duncschau , editor of the Eclatir , said lhat all ho desired to know regarding the docu ments brought 1dm was that they wcro au thentic. Ho did not consider it absolutely necessary lo ascertain whether thov had been stolen or not. Comely of Gaulols gave expression to simi lar views. Arthur Meyer , editor of the same Journal , said his only care wouhUiaro boon lo publish iho document in advance of his confreres , The judge asked : "But if the documents had been stolen I" " 1 should have published it first of nil , " replied - plied Meyer , "as it Is my duty as a Journalist lo consider my readers above everything. Clovls Huguoci defined the publication in question not 0 $ a theftf but m a political appropriation , while Camllio Dreyfus , deputy t-dilorof the Nation , and Lector Pessard , dratnullc critic , also absolved Mermeix of all blame. Sarccy caused some amusement by hlnllng that any of the iuugiklrut < M killing in judg ment on Meniiel.x would not hufcltulo lo shake luuidtf with htm In inouiing him in a drawing ri.oro , and inferred that conwjquently they believed Meriueix to be an huncst man.

The jury decided after a few minutes dc liberation by returning a verdict of not guilt In .favor of all three prisoners. In Die case c Wurrlon this decision was based mi the fact that ho had acted merely in obedience so his political leanings and not from mercenary motives. . i WECTS THO rs. t XIIN o r I KO n , u. Disastrous ItcMill * lift In * Chicago Car- pcnlei-s' Strike. CniCAoo , April ill. [ Special Telegram to Till : HKI : . ) No strike hat over heretofore oc curred hi the history of l.'hicago which dis astrously affected the lntcre. < i of so many jteo- plo as Ihu great carpenters' strike now iu pro gress. The recent IKXUU in iv.il estate circles caused many thousands of new buildings lo be contracted , and m any more nix * now lu course of erection Ihnu nl any previous tlmo In the city's history. Thee are nearly nil stipulated to bo finished by M'iy 1 and have already been rented or sold to persons who must vacate their present residences or stores by that date. The carpenters craftily limed their strike in accordance with this emergen cy. and Ihe stubborn resistance they have met from the builders was unexpected to say the least. In the me.intimo , however , the people who must vacate their present quarters in u little over two weeks -and they number many thousands-are becoming des | > erate. Several members of thec.irpratprs' and build ers' association will .st.irt up work tomorrow morning and endeavor to complete the con tracts that were interrupted bv tbe carpen ters' strike. How many men they will have is a question , but nearly all have advertised for e.irventers [ , those whose cnntracls are most pressing scattering their advert tsemenl.s about the country. The masters claim that there are a jooii iniinj Journeymen in the city who arc willing to go to work , and they will all he given a chance. As for a settlement , the members of the Carpenters' and Builders' association say they have done all they intend to. If the men want to return to work at the terms of fered when they left , the bn.ses are willing and ready to take them. There- will be no further Irunsactions , however , betiveen the strikers' and masters' associations unless Iho hitler make n declclc-l change of front. How the strike is to ba .settled no one seems to know. The.carpouters are willing to arbi trate , but there is no one to arbitrate with. The trouble. seems lo li'ivo seltl'-d down ton question that can only be settled by the starve-out jwllcy. If 'that is what it lias re solved itself inlo , new men will nrob.ibly find " il hard lo work on bnildliics in this city" The ' carpnters' council has as yet arrive'd at no plan of settlement , at least it has not made any such plan public. The council's arbitra tion committee had a conference yesterday " afternoon with the new boss carpenters' as"- socintion , but the meeting produced no defi nite results. . _ _ _ _ Will Sue for Danuij-CK.
