WAMUXOTOX , April 15. Among the peti
tions presented and referred was ono by Mr.
Dnwes from the Boston Executive Business
association for the privileges of purchasing
ships nhioad for ten years.
Among the bills reported and placed on the
calendar was ono providing for the return of
iifconU class mall mutter.
, Mr. Sherman offered n resolution , which
was agreed to , directing the secretary of the
Interior to communicate to the senate the re
port of Jesse Spauldlng , government director
of the Pacific railways , us to the general man
agement of such railways.
Mr. Wilson of Iowa offered n . resolution ,
which was agreed to , calling on the secretary
of the treasury for Information as to whether ,
fdnco the adoption of the treasury resolution
of Septcmlwr 28 in reference to the transit of
t'hlncse through the country and their do-
jiarturo therefrom , any Chinsso entered for
transit under such regulation failed to depart
from the United States in due course.
Mr. Butler offered a resolution , which was
referred to the committee on contingent ex-
IMitisas , modifying ono hitherto agreed to , so
us to authorize n select commltteo of the five
civilized Indian tr ! ! > cs to Investigate the
Hiatus of the negotiations in regard to the
Cherokee outlet , with power to send for i > er-
Mons uud papers and to visit the Indian terri
tory. In connection with the resolution
lie wnt to the clerk's desk and had read
u letter from Chief Alnyes urging that this
course bo adopted , while Mr. Jones of Arkan
sas intimated that the object of Chief Alnycs
was procrastination.
Mr. Hnwloy gave notice that ho would call
up the Chicago world's ' fair bill next Friday.
The Montana election case w is then taken up
nnd Mr , Morgan addressed the senate. Ho
referred to the recent democratic successes In
Helena and Butte BS n response to the at-
tc-mptcd fraud In seating the republican
claimants. If those elections , ho said , hud
gone the other way , there would have been
lie trouble in referring the case back to the
people. Now ho mipK.sed | that was impossible.
Jlo declared that if Montana were now coming
nsking for admission as a state "with all that
lllth clinging to her skirt.s" she would bo
Melted from the threshold , nnd ho insisted
that no man had a right to claim a seat as
fTcnnlor from Montana unless on 11 certificate
from the governor of that state. Tlio certifi
cates had to bo signed by the governor and
countersigned by the secretary of slate. The
republican claimants had not such certifi
cates. The democrats had certificates signed
l > y the governor , but unfortunately not coun
tersigned by the secretary of state. It would
not IK ) very long , ho .said , until the little
cloud in Montana which seemed no bigger
than a man's hand would sweep like a cy-
rlono and tear the republican party all to
fragments.
Mr. Daniel argued against the majority re
port.
port.Mr.
Mr. Vance created amusement by reading
the following telegram from Butte this morn
ing :
"Hurrah for honest cltUoni wlio vindicate the
right ' Ilnrnih for \i\vr \ mul liberty ; tlio pco-
pli : won tlio flxht. lie iiiiblfcun eorniptlonlsts

htiito. Tlio mourners speak In whispers , Ilium
I.s enipe on the door. The " ( ! . O. P. " was killed
liy stoidlni ; picclnct thirty-four.
Mr. Hoar said tlmt as ho understood the
facts the democratic majority in Butte.
which a year ago was SIX ) , had been reduced
to about 'J.)0 , and that at precinct 31 there
them was not u single voter lott. AH of
those apparent voters had gonO like lust
year's snow.
Mr. Vance My' information is entirely dif
ferent. Butte giivo n republican majority
liist year , and there has been n great "turn
over" In of "tho
consequence subsequent pro
ceedings. "
Without concluding his speech Mr. Daniel
yielded for a motion to adjourn , and after an
iigrceincnt that a vote would bo taken at 5
o'clock tomorow the senate adjourned.

sured It will bo continued for fifteen years ,

Pim.Anni.rinA , April 15. The case of Esher
versus the Evangelical publishing company
was called for trial yesterday In the United
States circuit court here. This case is but a
purtoftho general fight now going on be
tween the majority or foreign party of the
church , headed by Bfohops Esher and
Bowman , and the minority or American
party , headed by Bishop Dubs. The plaintiff ,
who is a son of Bishop Esher , and son-in-law
of Bishop Bowman , brought this action of
libel last fall by reason of several articles
which appeared in the Evangelical , the organ
of thu minority , inreply to certain articles
which he had published , commenting on the
forniertrialofRev.il. B. Hartzlcr , editor of
the Evangelical. Ycstcrd.iy the plaintiff
dlil not appear and Hie court entered a non
suit. This put the cost of the case on the
plaintiff and iho defendant had a great num
ber of witnesses who came from Chicago ,
Cleveland and other distant points. These
will amount to several hundred dollars. It is
said Esher will enter a new trial.
Au Insane Hni-Klar'n Threat.
BUFFALO , N. Y. , April 15. [ Special Tele
gram to Tin : BKU. ] James , alias "Silver"
Downing , an insane burglar who has just es
caped for the fourth time from the Morris-
town , N , J. , state asylum for Insane crimi
nals , has sworn to kill Detective John Taylor
of this city. When Downing made his second
end escape , In August , 18SS , ho eamo to this
city , where he was arrested by Taylor , after
a dcsperato struggle , for larceny of clothing.
As ho was leaving forthoMorristown asylum
ho swore he would return and kill Taylor. In
September , ISSi. ) , word came that Downing
had again escaped. Taylor remembered the
threat and was on the alert. On September
'J It was Icariied that Downing was in the
city , and Taylor , by a clover ruse , arrested

SIOUX CITY WINS AGAIN ,
Omaha a Three Time Loser to the Iowa
Cora Huskers ,
POOR PLAYING BY THE HOME TEAM.
Cleveland , WI > ! HI and Kcnrns De
cidedly Amateurish Off for Den
ver Other GaineH Turf mul
Diamond Notes *
Sioux City whollopcd Omaha for the thlnl
successive tlmoyesterday afternoon , and the
band played Annie Laurie.
The score does not cotno within a inllo of
conveying the rotten playing of the local
team , buta glance at it would leave the Im
pression that It was u model struggle.
Three to two Is not n bad defeat under any
circumstances , but It Is frightful enough
when you take In consideration that the
Omahas had men on bases in every Inning but
one , nnil that not n single tally was earned by
the visitors.
Cleveland , Walsh and Kenrns were decided
ly amateurish. That tells the whole story.
Fanning and Erquarhart , the battery , put
up n beautiful game n game that will win
nine times out of ten , despite the preponder
ance of hits on the wrong Hide of the score
sheet. Erqnarluirt's catching was as line as
was over seen on the homo grounds. Nothing
got by him and his throwing to second was as
true as a ride shot. Fanning , too , comes infer
for his full meed of praise. Ho pitched a
heady game mid fielded his position like a
Clarkson.
Wully Andrews was perfection at first , and
smashed the ball hard to boot.
None of the balance of the team did any
thing worthy of mention , unless it was Cun-
uviiu. He attended to his territory cleanly.
In addition to lining out ono for u couple of
cushions ,
The Sioux Citys nil played well. They nro
a great team Industrious , hardworking ,
gentlemanly fellows , every one of them.
They simply dallied with the Oinnhas.
Hero Is how the runs were made :
In the fourth Kcdd.v Hnnrahnn whoso
hair has turned as white as the beautiful
snow , by the way , since lust season led off
with a bewhiskered thrco-baggcr to far cen
ter. Then Genius drove n slow ono down to
Cleveland , who shnt the ball into Erquarhart ,
nearly catching Hnnrnhun , who was pre
sumptive enough to try to score on the fungo.
Of course Genins reached first all right. Ho
stole second and ran across the plate on an
unpardonable error by Cleveland. Crossley
wafted , and Burdick llow out to "Walsh.
In the next inning Oinuha went the Corn
Huskers ono bettor.
Andrews commenced the hilarity by n safe
one to center , but Walsh had to como along
and force him otit at second. .Too then re
trieved himself in a degree by purloining this
bag. Canavan was retired by BroMiun to
Powell , but Billy Burdick , bcingseized with a
benevolent streak , presented Fanning with a
base on balls. Krquurhart's magnificent two-
sack drive sent them across the plate.
A few timid cheers rent thu vernal atmos
phere at this exploit.
Strauss threw a wet blanket on the re
mainder of the proceedings by going out from
Hanruhun to Ilr.it.
During the remainder of the game , amidst
an olla podrida of fumbles and other early
vegetables , the Omahas gathered in naught
but an unbroken chain of geese eggs.
"We'd better tie the game , I think , " said
Chimpanzee Cline , as the resolute Corn Husk-
el's came in for their tilt in the seventh.
"Just as if they could tie and win the game
whenever they s > nw proper , the nasty maul"
said a lady in the grand stand.
Well , they tried it.
After Genius and Crossloy had been sent
back to the bench Siebel was sent to first on
four wide ones. Clino's timely hit .sent him
to third , and on Cleveland's second clumsy
error In allowing Glenn's easy grounder to
go through him , the tall pitcher run home.
In the ninth they won the game.
Siebel went out from Walsh to Andrews ,
but Cllno made another bit , only , however , to
lie forced out on Glenn's hit to Walsh , who
tossed the ball to Ivearns , and with a grimace
the lopsided specimen from equatorial Africa
shambled in to the bench.
Glenn stole second and Kappell drove him
homo with n hit to left , and thus the beautiful
dream faded away.
Let your dove-like eyes rest upon the fol
lowing statistics , and it you can derive any
comfort from them all well and good :

Departure of the Team.
The Omaha1 * , in charge of Manager Leon
ardlenvoforDcnverthlsmonilng. On Thurs
day the championship season opens' and the
1 oys have a tough job on hand to wrest any
laurels from the Hoeky mountain sluggers. If
they do not brace up and play with u llttlo
more vim and confidence they need expect
nothing butter than defeat. There is good
stun" In the team , but their exhibition games
upon the homo grounds have been simply
cowardly. Perhaps a change in the captaincy
might bring nbout better results. While
Ivearns Is an industrious ball player
and will undoubtedly show up
in n satisfactory manner ere many
more days roll round , ho is certainly unlit for
the responsible position of captain. Ho is
not assertive enough , and fails to taku ad
vantage of many points in the game , where a
little healthy lung oxcrciso would accomplish
wonders. But hero's good luck to the whole
outlit , anyway , and if they succeed In taking
one game each from Denver and Kansas City ,
all will bo gladly overlooked and forgotten.

gram to Tin : BIE.J : Charles II. Plersou and
United States Marshal Kolwrt U. Watts en
gaged in a slugging match last night. They

Watts took exception to an article about
him that recently appeared in the Tidings , of

abuse each other , and during the discussion
Pierson told Watts that ho was n liar. This
infuriated the marshal and ho retaliated by
landing a stinging blow on the editor's eye ,
remarking that ho would teach Pierson to
print libohm.s articles about him. The van-
miished Piorson started for the police sta
tion , declaring his intention of swearing
out a warrant against Watts for assault and
battery. This frightened Watts and ho
started on a run in the direction of the police
court , catching Pierson just outside the door
and apologizing for his action. Pierson's
friends endeavored to persuade him to refuse
to accept the apologv , to n ahead and get out
the warrant , but on , condition that Mr. Watts
make a statement In the local p.ipers to the
effect that ho was sorry for his rush and in
jurious act the apology was accepted , Editor
Pierson's eye la black and blue , and swollen
nearly shut.

$7,000 check business puz/los me completely ,
for every body concenictl tried to keep It dead/ '
remarked air. S. 1' . Morse yesterday mornIng -
Ing , mul then ho laughed until the tears ciime.
"The best mul ftinniost llttlo freak of a
feature about it nil , " continued the dry poods
limn , " \viis that the fellow was a twin brother
of Judge Ilerka's , so fur as looks go. I do-
elaro I never saw so perfect a
resemblance between two men before in
my life. Taken altogether the whole business -
ness was as queer If nota little queerer than I
ever n.et with before. It happened this wnv :
When I ciuno back to the store nfter having
lunch hist Saturday noon I found a little note
on my desk saying that P. J. Ncal of Sun
Francisco would call on me In an hour or so.
Afteraltout that length of time had elapsed
and while I was busy at my desk in came the
counterpart presentment of our ex-Judge
Herka. Ho tossed his overcoat across the
railing around my desk and reaching out his
hand remarked :
" 'How do-do , Mr. Morse. I am Mr. IS'eal ,
of Neal Brothers , San Francisco. Mv brother
told me I could make money by buying u bill
of silks of you , I'm en route home from Now
York , where I've bought a lot of tinware.1
" 'I don't romemlwr having heard of your
name or your brother's before,1 said I , 'but
nil the same , I can sell you goods mighty
cheap. ' Then ho remarked :
" 'I'll have to get you to Identify mo on a
check before I do anything else. '
"Now , the fellow looked so exceptionally
honest -looked mo straight in the eye all the
time that I remarked :
" 'Why , I'll cash the draft for you myself
that's all right , pleased to do so. '
" 'I'm afraid it's too big for you. ' ho re
marked ; 'It's ' for$7,000. >
" 'Well , ' said J , ' $7 , < XX ) Is n pretty big ono
to bo carrying around wanting cashed , isn't
it ! ' and I laughed , but added , 'I'll ' step over
to the bank with you.1
"Going over to the Omaha National , I in
troduced him to Mr. Wallace with 'Here. Mr.
Wallace , is u gentleman who wants you to
rash u good sized draft for him. ' You sco I
shifted it all onto Wallace. The draft was
from the Pacific bank of San Francisco on
the National Bank of Commerce , Now York
city , and was endorsed on the back 'Pay to
I' . J. Nosil. ' Over the endorsement was ' 'Pay
to bearer * written in a different hand from
the endorsement. After looking it over , Wal
lace romnrkod :
" 'I don't think any bank would make so big
a draft payable to bearer , but the signatures
of both the San Francisco and Now York
bunks I pronounce genuine and the draft per
fectly straight. ' Then ho added , 'But vou
gentlemen call again. ' Wo went out , Neal
saying that ho would po back to his hotel , the
Paxton , do sonic writing and call again in an
hour. .
"He never called. To satisfy my curiosity
I went over to sco Wallace , knowing that his
putting us oil' was simply In order to.get
time to telegraph San Francisco.
"Well , he bad beard from there and they
answered that they had 'issued no dra ft for
# , OUO payable to bearer.1 Then Wallace and
I shook hands and wo shook hard , too.
"I tticn called at the Paxton , but Mr. Neal
had not been seen since the evening before ,
when ho registered. Ho probably skipped
the town on the first train alter he loft me.
"Mr. Wallace has two theories about the
draft. Ono is that the fellow found it and
himself added the 'pay bearer , ' or that it hud
been given to him legitimately and thathchad
raised the figures , as bo ( Mr. Wallace )
reiterated that it was certainly genuine in
every particular. "
The Paxton register leaf of last Friday con
tains this "P. J. Neal ( Neal Brothers ) , San
Francisco , " written in what is probably as
line a business hand as can bo found any
where.

A Union I'no I lie Watchman at Denver
Killed Wllli ItnukHhot.
DKNVKII , Colo. , April 15 , [ Special Tele
gram to Tin : UBIAn : ] attempt was made
last night nbont midnight to assassinate
Henry Miller , a young man employed as
watchman for the Union Pacific company
along their new line ot tractt along the Platte
river , above the Larimer street viaduct. The
spot where the trouble occurred Is outside the
city limits. Miller had been patrolling up and
down his beat during the night nnd
n few minutes before the shooting occurred a
number of men visited the locality and acted
In a threatening manner. At that time the
young man had two friends with him and the
crowd went away , after which Miller's
friends also departed. They hud not gone far
when a man approached the watchman and
asked :
"What arc you doing here ? "
"Guarding the grade , " was the answer.
"You had bettor get oul of this , "
was the reply , nnd the stranger walked olT.
He had not gone far when ho turned around
and fired both barrels of u shotgun ho carried
at Miller. The wcajion was loaded with
buckshot , nnd froni the looks of the poor
fellow's back every bullet must have taken
effect. The friends who had left
Miller only a few minutes before -
fore returned nnd carried the wounded
man to a tent near by and the patrol wagon
was summoned. Later on the man was taken
to the county hospital. Miller Is not danger
ously wounded , but It is ( iiiito lilselv that one
of his arms will have to bo amputated. The
cause of the shooting is sUd ; to lie due to the
fact that the Union Pacific has put in
n high embankment near the mouth
of Dry creek , which is known as a most
treacherous stream , and people living along
the line of thoorcek declare that their lives
arc now in jeopardy In consequence. Sheriff
Barton this morning dispatched .several
deputies to the scene of the shooting with
instructions to sift the matter to the bottom
and if possible arrest the guilty man.

with his wife in a post chase. Austria ,
Italy , Switzerland , Franco , Helgiiini ,
Holland , the minor courts of Germany
and Poland , wore visited in loss than no
Utiio by him. The C'ointo an Word went
so fast that ( host ) who wuro with him
said tlioy snwnothing until they came to
I'nris hut the clouds of dust which thia
post , ehaiso and train of carriages raised
on the roiids. Ho had a ilo/.on ideas a
day. Caprice alone governed his ael Ions.
On mounting the throne ho exiled
his mother's last favorite , XulmlV , to
Siberia. Soon uftonvnrd ho recalled
him and loaded him with favor * . The
slighte.it neglect of Ills orders wan heav
ily punished. Everyone was , in passing
hoforo Iho imperial palacn , bound to sa
lute il , even when i'aul was not there.
Ho lulled the pot-hat , which lie thought ,
a sign of .lacobinisiif , and his police were
instructed whenever llioy taw ono to
knock it olT the wearer's head. Ho could
lie imlltc , amiable and oven willy ; hut no
body could enjoy these good qualities ,
heeiuibu he was M > changeable.
Ono of the signs of respect
tlmt ho exacted of his subjects was that
they should , whenever they mot him in
the street , get out of tholr carringcjti to
siiluto him. The rule applied to niiin ,
women and children , Ho wont about in
cognito at night like Huround Alraschid
to KCO that his police were doing their
duty , and was fond of having his troops
called up at night in the midst of winter
to I'uvlow tliom. He could bo humane i
and generous , or , according to his freak ,
the rovoi-M' . The Incolmrenco of Ills fir-
doi'ri and neliniiB was such that nobody
could gncsb from what ho had done what
ho was likely to do tin- next moment.
