WASHINGTON" . D. C. , May
Even now , within twenty-four hours from
the time when Senator Bock of Kentucky fell
dead and before ttie funeral arrangements
have been made , the gossip of a successor for
his seat in the senate has begun. That it will
be hard or Impossible to find in the blue gross
state a man who will fill , In all senses of the
word , the place so suddenly left vacant , Is
conceded. Few men in the country are so
thoroughly equipped to back the democratic
position on the greater questions of legisla
tion , and when Kentucky has made a selec
tion of a successor the democratic side of the
chamber will lack something of the strength
it bad when Mr. Beck was at his best. The
suddenness of Senator Beck's death gave no
opportunity for a careful survey of the polit
ical field of Ker ucky by those who gossip
here , and random guesses are all that are
heard. In the hotels and other resorts where
the topic Is discussed Speaker Carlisle is
oftencst mentioned as the probable suc
cessor , of the dead man. This is by no
means the universal talk , however. Repre
sentative Willam C. P. Brcckinridge is men
tioned often as a possibility. The guess
work , too , is indulged in as to wheth&r the
Kentucky legislature will elect during the
few remaining days of the session or will ad
journ and leave the vacancy to be filled by
appointment Should an election lw decided
on it would involve swift work , as the day
tor adjournment comes next week.
The death of Senator Beck leaves vacancies
on the committees of finance and appropria
tions and the select committee on woman
suffrage. Senator Beck held the senior posi
tion of the minority on the committee on ap
propriations. He had the second place of the
minority on the finance committee. Senator
Voorhccs of Indiana held the senior place on
this committee. Senator Cockrcll is the second
end man on the first named committee , and
on him will devolve the honors and hard
work which como to the head of the minority
of this committee. Senator McPhersoa of
New Jersey will succeed to the place held by
Senator Beck on the finance committee. It
was during the hard fight on the tariff bill in
1SSS , which was before the finance committee
for weeks , that Senator Beck's health first
broke down. Senator Beck prepared the mi
nority report , and this was his last great
work. There is no man left on the committee
who is as well equipped for efficient anti-pro
tection wOrk as was Senator Beck.
DEMOCRATIC Se.VATOr.S ALAKMED.
The'dcmocratic senators are becoming very
much alarmed at what they consider revolutionary
'
tionary tendencies on th'e part of their re
publican colleagues. The first symptom ap-
iKsired in the form of a resolution introduec/d
oy Mr. Chandler a week or ten days ago for
the purpose of cuttiugshorttho interminable
debates that often occur in the senate , and it
was referred to the committee on rules. A
second and more serious symptom was dis
closed thejtey he/ore jestcrday when Mr.
Sherman declared himself in favor of the
exercise on the part of the president o * the
senate of the wirnc power the speaker of the
house has used to enforce a quorum ; that is ,
to count a sufficient number of senators as
present to make a quorum when they are
actually within the bar of the house but at
tempt to break a quorum by refusing to vote.
The third and still more serious symptom was
a remark by Senator Aldrich yesterday to the
effect that the coaimittee on rules intended to
report favorably the resolution of
Mr. Chandler and would declare
that the point made by Mr.
Sherman could be sustained. These three
circumstances are assumed to be the reve
lation of a conspiracy on the part of the re
publican senators to prevent the democrats
from defeating the passage of an election law
by filibustering. The republicans smile
When the fears of their colleagTjes are sug
gested and say that these symptoms are but
coincidences , and they reallv are no more
than that. The ; resolution of Mr. Chandler
was the result of an informal consultation
among the new senators who sat on the back
rows of seats during the prolonged debate
upon the Montana election case , which
wasted two weeks of valuable time. Mr.
Sherman's remark was an impulse , and Mr.
Aldrich spoke with the same feeling that
many others have , that the senate has be
come a debating socictv and that ionic rule
should be adopted to limit ilis-
usstons. There Is no boJy in the
world in which there Is so
much useless talking. The republican
senators have decided in caucus to pass a
federal election law , but the republicans of
the house are not united on the subject , and
It Is not probable that any measure of the
hind will become a law nt this session. The
democrats in the senate have determined to
prevent its passage by talking it to death and
by other filibustering tactics , and they de
clare that they will leave the chamber in a
body if the republicans attempt to enforce a
paglaw. There may bo llvelv times ahead ,
but it is scarcely possible that any revolu
tionary measures will be attempted.
AX EMPIHTIC SPEECH.
The eastern papers have revived the story
that Russell Harrison of Montana is employed
as eoun--cl for the Louisiana Lottery company
to use his Influence in preventing legislation
hostile to the company. This story has been
passed around from time to time , oad it has
been said that since the failure of the com
pany to get a foothold in North Dakota it had
Its evil eye on Montana. Mr. Harrison's con
nection with the i-onc-am is emphatl allv de
nied by Mr. T. H. Kock of New York , secre
tary of the New York Jockey club , and a
put it as strongly as you please , that M'r. Rus
sell Harrison has nothing , absolutely nothing ,
to do with any effort that the Louisiana lot
tery may be maklug for the renewal of its
charter. " Pcunr S. HP.ATU.

PAKIJ , May 4.-jNcw York Herald Cable-
Special to THE Ben. ] The result of today's
municipal elections \vas a great victory for
the government , as it wa almost a complete
eoltai > e for the Boulangist party.
About town tonight the immense success
of the government was generally conwcted
with its judicious and firm conduct in regard
to the May day manifestation.
The Boulaagists had determined to hold a
meeting this afternoon on the Rue do hi Bre.
There at 3 o'clock Leguerrre , Naquct
Dcrcquedc and others of the faithful
band gathered and held a solemn
seance as to whether General Bonlangcr
should or should not return to France. The
seance was strictly secret , nevertheless I am
free to state that It was decided that the re
sult of today's elections should
be awaited. If they proved , as was
the hope , an overwhelming victory
for the ex-minister of war and a total collapse
for his political enemies , then would be the
moment for the general to return. In the
evening I made a cell at the headquarters of
the Boulganlst oillce , La PKSSS. It is from
there that Leguerro and Naquet declared the
policy of their party at the first
election two weeks ago. The office of
La Press was then the scene of
gatherings of lubilont partisans. Last
night how strangely things had altered.
Was any body there f "No , there is no one
in , " replied the office boy. Even the secre
tary was absent ami not a sign of life was
visible except the office boy , who looked
strangely disconsolate I made search for
the secretary and found him. He said : "We
have been beaten all along the line. "
No wonder the Boulangists are disconso
late.
late.The
The result accounted for the emptiness of
La Presse office and will undoubtedly ac
count for General Boulanger deciding to re
main outside of France.
The results made known about 10 o'clock
this evening were , including the seats filled
nt the election last Sunday week , republicans
elected 05 , monarchists 13 , Boulangists in-
vestis 1. It may bo explained that Boulangist
investis means candidates nominated and ap
proved by General Boulanger personally.
There were in all ,15 Boulangists Investis at
todav's election. This tells the tale.
COXGflESSlOA'.lL FORECAST.
Programme of the oCorninj ; Week in
Both Houses.
WA JUSOTOX , May 4. A number of mat
ters of general importance have been assigned
for consideration in the senate tthis week.
The bills for the admission of Idaho and
Wyoming arc unfinished business till
Wednesday , when the Jones silver bill will
be the special order. If action on this is de
manded the admission Dills are likely
to go over. Two things may pre
vent the consideration of the silver
bill a caucus to bo held before Wednesday
or the reporting of the army and pensjon bills
so consideration of the silver Question may
go over. The Dingley worsted cloths bill is
also likely to come up , and the death of Sen
ator Bock will disarrange the programme
by causing an adjournment tomorrow.
His death will also disarrange
proceedidgs in the house , ns an
adjournment of that body is esnected
on the receipt of official notice f roThcso f -
ate. This will retard the nveranu-ua"roor *
bill , the managers ofwhich ore expected to
push it through tomorrow under suspension
ol the rules. The tariff bill , according to pro
gramme , will be taken up Tuesday. General
debate will begin at once and is expected to
consume at least one week , after which the
bill will be discussdd by sections and sub
jected to amendment in detail.

DEXVER , Colo. , May 4. [ Special Telegram
to THE BEE . ' Oa the cooling board at the
coroner's morgue tonight lies the body of a
woman who was first outraged and then mur
der 'd. The case Is a mystery.
Mrs. Kate Butterfield lived on South
Eleventh street , where she let furnished
rooms. She had only two persons occup3-ing
rooms. Saturday night they found thehouso
locked , and no one re pondingtolheirknocks ,
thev went to a hotel and spent the night
oday the doors of the house were forced
open and Mrs. Butterfield was found mur
dered. There were evidences of a frightful
struggle. She .had been outraged , beat over
the head and strangled.
There is no clue at present to
the perpetrators of the foul crime
and the detectives are puzilod. " Their
theory is that someone called ostensibly to
look at rooms on Saturday , committed"
terrible deed and locking the doors walked
out into the street , leaving no trail.
Snulh Dakota Crops.
Hnsox , S. D. , May 4. The Huronito to
morrow will print reports from thirty-one
counties iu South Dakota on the condition of
the growing crops. The reports show that
although but little rain has fallen throughout
the state and high winds have prevailed in
many localities , the early sown wheat is grow
ing nicely. Cold nights and heavy frosts
have done no Injury other than to slightly
damage fruits. A considerable acreage of
corn has been planted. The heavy rain here
and in the north , east and soutlTparts of the
state yesterday acd today will be of incal
culable l > enent The outlook in South
Dakota for an excellent crop is flattering.

Siocx CITS , la , , May 4. [ Special Tele
gram to THE BEE. ] Notwithstanding muddy
grounds and chilly weather , the Sioux City
and Omaha clubs played the game scheduled
for today in the presence of about 1,000
spectators. The surprise of the game was the
heavy hitting by the home team of Dad
Clarke , whom they have rarely been able to
find. Kcarnsand Walsh played brilliant- ! ,
the former being credited with eleven putouts -
outs , ably assisted by the latter. Omaha
scored its first run in the second inning on
Moran's single and Devlin's errors in
fumbling the hits of Willis and Canavan. In
the fourth inning Moran led off again with
a single and scored a run on Clarke's two-base
hit to center field. Clarke tallied a moment
later on Canavan's out to Powell. In the
ninth inning Omaha filled the bases after
Willis had been retired by Powell , on singles
by Canavan and Kearns and a base on balls
to Andrews. But the prospects of scoring
were soon cut short by Cleveland's inability
to hit the ball and Powell's splendid one-
handed-catch of Walsh's liner to right , Sioux
City was aided in its run getting bv
remarkably lucky bunching of hits , every
tally being aided by successive hits to the
field. But three base hits of the fifteen made
by the Com Huskers were unproductive. In
the seventh inning the home team knocked
out its four runs with the willow , Black ,
Kappcll and Devlin scoring singles , and Han-
rahan and Gcnins double. The slippery
grounds made base hits moro frequent than
they would have been , and greatly bothered
both sides. The score :

proved fickle , and with coquettish coyness
dallied between sunshine and shower in a
most annoying mauner. Just before the

a smart drizzle set in , and the effect -was no
ticeable in the small number which ap
peared at the station. The train which was
run to the grounds .was an extra , and
considerable eipenfcc was involved in securing
it. so that the small .jatronage was very dis
heartening. *

that some one of the team is to go there is no

PROHIBITIONISTS PARALYZED
The Bscent Decision of the Supreme Court
Bewilders Them ,
A WIDE DIFFERENCE OF OPINION.
Some Throw V\i Their llniuls nntl Say
it is n I"ntal Illotr , AVliilc Others
Though Dnzcil Arc Nut
llopclct.8.
DE ? Motxcjt , a. , May C. [ Spacial to
Tnc IJKC. ] There has not been such n stir in
prohibition circles in Iowa for manyyears as
has been created by the recent decision of tha
United States supreme court in the original
package case There Is a wide difference of
opinion as to what it mean's , but everybody is
talking about it. The prohibitionists them
selves differ ns to its meaning. Some tbron *
up their hands aud say it kills prohibition
dead ; others insist that it doesn't interfere
with the original purpose of the prohibitory
law. Those who , take the former view hold
that any one can open a retail liquor store
and sell any amount of liquor , provided that
the liquor is kept in the original package in
which it was imported. They anticipate n
general retail business in every city in the
state , with the dealers selling by the bottle or
flask , provided that the liquor was imported
in that form. Others hold that after an im
porter has brought his goods into the state
the Interstate character of the transaction
ceases , and the dealer and his property be
come subject to state laws. They admit that a
man may buy from persons outside the
state what liquor he wants , and have it ship
ped to him for his own use. But they deny
that he can then sell that article to another.
It is also admitted that dealers outside the
state can open branch houses here and
through their agents take orders and deliver
the goods. But it is denied that any one act
ing independently can open n store , import
liqucr , and then become an Iowa retailer and
sell the liquor without permission of the Iowa
laws. "With such a wide difference of opinion
as to what is really meant by the decision it
is not unlikely that a test case will be brought
to ascertain just how far it goes. However
the prohibitionists , that is the chief spokes
men , are very much cast down , and they re
gard it as a severe blow at prohibition. But
that is because they have confounded pro
hibition with total abstinence. They not only
tried to shut up the saloons , but also to stop
men from drinking. The enforcement
of the prohibitory law meant to
them the prevention of private drinking
even in family circles , and at a man's own
table. They didn't propose that any man
should be allowed to drink liquor , either in
public or in private. But this decision says ,
at the least , that individuals can obtain for
their own use all the liquor they want if they
will send outside the state for it. And so
these professional prohibitionists are terribly
downcast and disheartened.
There is already much talk as to what will
be the practical effect of this decision upon
the politics of the state. Some of the men
who want to stop by law all drinking , say
that congress must now amend the interstate
commerce law to prohibit the importation of
liquors into states that prohibit the sale of
them. They want to lorce this issue into
erery congressional contest this fall , -and
make every candidate go on record 03 favor
ing or opposing such an amendment. If that
is done to any considerable extent it will
make republican prospects in three or four
districts decidedly dubious. In the first dis
trict for instance , there is on the straight
issue of prohibition a majority against it
of several hundred. But es-Governpr Gear
was elected to congress twice in that
district on other issues , prohibition not enter
ing the fight. . He can probably be re-elected
this fall , rf that issue is not made paramount.
The situation is substantially the same in the
third district , Colonel Henderson's. It is
about the same in the ninth , the Council
Bluffs district. The more conservative tem
perance men are saying that no such amend
ment to the interstate commerce law is
needed. That Iowa is not trying to inter
fere with individual habits so long as they do
not interfere with the welfare of socfety.
Hence , that it has done all that intends or
wishes to do , when it closes the saloons. But
if individuals want to buy liquor for their
own use in their own homes , thev have a
right to do so. The saloon is a public institu
tion , which the state has a right to control.
But individual use of liauor is a private mat
ter , not to be touched by law , till it inter
feres with the welfare of society. This is
the argument that is being used Dy many
good prohibitionists. There is great interest ,
however , in the subject , though plans for the
future are not yet formulated on either side.

The strikers acknowledge thvlr dcf-at at

faro has been aggressively directed , bu * they
hope to arrive at such stipulations with the
new bosses' association as will cripple the

Notwithstanding the frantic efforts ef the ,
leaders to prolong the strike a resumption olQ
work cannot now be long deferred , A careful '
ful investigation shows that the greater part ,
of the men on strike are in destitute oircum/
