P i ! HE OMAHA DAILY NINETEEN ! YEAR. OMAHA. THURSDAY ilOKNING , MAY 15 , 1800 NUMBER 1)25. ) FEARS IT IS A TROJAN HORSE , Senator Teller Looks Upon the Window Bill with Distrust. IT HAS BUSPIOIOU8 FRIENDS , Hoar and Plumb Have n TlfT-JIcKln- ley JtosontH Charges Made Against the Wayn and Means Committee. WASHINGTON , Alay I . In the senate today the senate ulll appropriating $100,000 for pub lic buildings nt Hock Island , 111. , passed. Among the bills reported and placed on the calendar wore senate bills subjecting 1m- p'orlcd liquor to the provisions of the laws of the several states. In connection with the latter bill Air. Wilson of Iowa , who reported it from the Judiciary company , said he would ask the senate to take It up for consideration at an early day. Air. Hoar , n member of the committee , ex plained that the bill was rendered necessary by thd late decision of the supreme court. IIo fully concurred in the purport of the bill , but supposed the principle of the court's opinion wna extended to other things than distilled spirits to opium for instance mid ho should have preferred that the bill should have ap plied to all articles which states might desire to prohibit the sale of. However , In order not to delay action in the matter he had us- Bcntc'1 * the report of the bill. Air KUmunds , also a member of the Judl- % ciary committee , expressed the same idea. After further discussion Air. Plumb de sired to know what question was bcforo the senate and was Informed by the vice presi dent that there was no question pending. Ho then demanded the regular order and when Air. Hoar desired to make some further re marks Air. Plumb ejected and insisted on the regular order. This was resented by Air. Hoar , who remarked that ho had never seen such an exhibition of boorishness before. "Then you never looked into n glass , ' ' was the retort of Air. Plumb. Air. Edmunds introduced a bill to establish n university of the United States and had it referred to a select committee. The silver hill was then taken up and Air. Teller addressed the senate. He spoke of the bill as relating to perhaps the most Important question that had been presented before the senate since the demonetization of silver in 187t ; , if it could bo truthfully said that that question was ever presented to the senate. IIo disclaimed any anxiety or especial in terest in promoting the price of silver , save and except that silver was an American pro duct and therefore every American ought to have nn interest in advancing the price. The people of.Colorndo had comparatively little interest in the advancement of tlio price of silver , because although they produced one-sixth of all the silver produced in the world they did not depend npwi their silver product and very shortly other inter ests of the state would far outweigh the in terest of mere silver production. The silver product of the United States , 50,000.000 ounces last year , was insignificant in com parison with tlio great interests of the coun try that were involved in the rehabilitation of .silver as a money iiiclul. It would not dote to say "tho silver barons" of the west" were demanding it.or . that its demand was in the interest of cheap money. It was demanded , in the interest of humanity , in the interest of f civili/ation , in tlio interest of progress , in the interest of the whole human nice. IIo criti/'lml thu. > Wiud < mi bill and said ho could not see what the pitt\oso ! niid object of " 'that scheme was. That scliOir.o met the ap proval of the gold monomctallists every where , and that was reason enough to war rant the suspicion that It was n Trojan horse. Of the bill reported from the finance commit tee ho said it was founded on some system of financial policy and there was some phil osophy in It , but it did not propose to use silver as money ; its fundamental idea was , as in the other bill , that silver was a metal and nothing else. Mr. Teller went on to speak of the silver plank in thonationnl republican platform as promising full recognition of silver money nnd-said the inserted in plunk was recogni tion of the universal demand of the country for the use of silver us money , mid he would insist upon its observation whetner it parted him from the administration or not. Did tlio pending bill , lie asked , recognize silver in nc- corndanco with the platform ! He thought not. Without concluding his speech Air. Teller yielded to innotion to go into executive session. When the doors were reopened the X , silver bill was laid aside informally till tomorrow - " morrow and the senate proceeded to the business on the calendar and after passing several bills , adjourned. House. WASHISOTOX , Alay 14. On motion of Air. Merrill of Kansas the house insisted upon its amendment to the senate dependent pen sion bill and a conference was ordered. The house then went into committee of the whole on the tariff bill. Various amendments looking to n reduction of the duty on earthen , china and glass wuro were made on the democratic side , but met with no success. In the course of the discus sion on ono of these amendments-Air. AIc- Allllinsnld Air. Campbell of Pittshurg , n Class manufacturer , asked for protection from i'oreigh labor , while howis charged with im porting foreign labor in violation of the con tract labor law. Air. Bynum said Air. Campbell had come before the ways and means committee and held a consultation with a gentleman from West Virginia ( Wilson ) and himself , and then had gone away and made au allldavit which was false from beginning to end. Air. Ilayno said ho would take Campbell's ' word as soon as ho would that of the gentle man from Indiana , and ho knew them both. Air. Wilson of West Virginia confirmed what the gentleman from Indiana had said. In the course of some further remarks Air. Bynum said the committee on ways and means In the formation of its bill had closed the doors of the capltol against the laborers of the country , but had admitted manufac turers. The very entrance to the capitol was closed in order to keep anybody from coming r , In but those the majority would allow. It ad mitted manufacturers , but If honest labor wimo and knocked at the door It was not ad mitted. Mr. AIcKlnley said the Imputation of the gentleman from Indiana that the ways and means committee had closed up the passage * u the house in oilier that the ma jority might have n private con sultation room was false. Ho would not permit any man to impute to the committee uny bad motives or lack of courtesy to the minority. Tlio minority of the committee know that any imputation of that kind was absolutely false. Having considered sixteen of the iiO { pages of the bill , the . . oinmlttco rose and thu house adjourned. . A Suicide's Keenest. CHICAGO , Alay 11.

In a lengthy interview tonight with a reporter for a local paper Assistant Postmaster General Clarkbon is quoted ns saying : "The government of the United States is a political , not a business machine. " "Tim genius of our political progress , " ho added , "lies in the active interest taken in the government by the people. That this in terest should bo kept alive and aroused to an even greater extent than nt present is most essential. Essayists who enjoy formulating theories for an ideal government admit that their cherished systems can only como through the political activity of the people. " Air. Clarkson thinks decidedly that this country would not bo butter off with a civil service like England's , "What I" said he , "perpetuate un olllco holding class of which every member arriving nt the ago of sixty shall receive n pension ! What aim in lite would bo theirs save to hangon by the easiest method possible ? Their ambition would die for want of nourishment and their value to the country decrease. I believe con tinued service in government employ is bad for any man. and that after a certain period all public servants should bo sent back to the people to renew themselves. Each oflleo shojild have a fixed tenure to preserve - servo the respect of the occupant , and if the occupant desires a second term let him show by his work that ho is entitled to it. " Air. Clarksou would not abolish civil ser vice examination , but thinks every man should be examined by the ollicial in whoso emnlov ho is to bo. "Such a principle- pre vails in business , why not in the govern ment I" Air. Clnrkson asserted in replv to a ones- tlon as to a comparison of our service with that of England that the business of our gov ernment is transacted moro accurately and at a lower percentage of loss than any other public or private business In existence.

She told the driver to let her out near the church and to call for her at n later hour. When the carriage returned the fair deceiver had fled. Rev. Dr. Nevin , rector of the church , had a letter which she loft for the hotel proprietor , inclosing n draft for 000 francs ; drawn on Air. Pierre Morand , No. lear Walnut street , Philadelphia , and signed AI. A. Holland. Signer Froiittnl had her box opened and found nn old petti coat and two stale crusts of bread. A gen eral investigation disclosed the fact that the adventuress had been ns busy as n beaver. > ho had tried to entangle many distinguished Catholic churchmen. Ono day she railed on Algr.

She had complained to Dr. Novln of the American church and Lord Duffrin that Algr. Campbell was in a con spiracy to force her into a nunnery. In her pocket the police found the following letter in her handwriting : Thursday , Alay 0. Alonsignor Campbell : I depreciate your action of today. No terms of censure are severe enough. 1 did not be lieve it possible that you would insist 1ipon the fulfillment of your demand and for a ser vice forever believed to bo free and within the immediate roach of even the most Hard ened sinner and without price. 1 regret that I assisted you in your deceit , however innocently I was led to do it , and the nefarious Ho you told mo to obtain the 4,000 francs. In the unmo or the commissioner general of tlio holy oflleo of the requisition it is a grave offense on your part , and 1 warn you tliiit if it is not returned to mo I shall feel compelled to inform the proper authorities of our church.

When the prisoner was brought before the police magistrate this morning she confessed that her name was not Holland and she was not a British subject. She said she would cut her throat rather than tell her true name , as she had solemnly promised Algr. Sullna , another victim , to keep it secret. The only one she would give her name to , she said , was the American con sul. She almost fainted when "her real name was mentioned. I saw her while she was being interrogated , Be side mo .stood n Now York priest , that she claimed to bo English , while ho was certain that she was an American , and noti fied Archbishop Corrigan of Now York and all ofllcials of the American college to look out for her. Then she went to Dr. Novln of the American church and said that she was nnovltiatonun and that there was a vast Cath olic conspiracy , with Algr. Campbell at the head of it , to drag her into a nunnery against her will. Dr. Nevin then advised her to apply for protection to thu British ambassador. She then called on Lord Dufferlu and told him that she had escaped from n nunnery and wanted England to protect her from the in quisition. Tlio ox-viceroy of India was as cool as ice. He asked her if she had anything to show that .sho was a British subject. ' Why , certainly , " replied his visitor , pullIng - Ing out a photograph of Queen Victoria from her bosom. "Hero is n picture of our queen. " Lord Dufferin was unmoved by the patriotic oticbusiness. . "That is a portrait of our " ho said "but I would to queen , , prefer see a British passport.

This afternoon they learned that she had -guno to No. ! ii Hio do Gliaristi , but when the gendarmes arrived .sho had again vanished. The police learned tonight that she had taken refuge in the con vent of the Poor Servants of Alothor God. She engaged two rooms and talked grandly of taking a whole suite. When u delegate of the pollco entered the convent Almo. Diss Debar - bar had gone to 'bed. Tlio mother superior agreed to bo responsible for the prisoner till morning , Police wore then stationed about the building and tlr.it was the situation at midnight. The mother superior got frightened and ordered the deceiver to leave , and when Odelia tripped out of the nunnery Into Via San Sebastlanello she was bagged by the police and hurried off to n Homan prison. She wore a ring which she said the pope had given her. This she showed to the guards and defied them. This morning when tlio princess ww searched the ring was gone. Her property consisted of a comb and a book on "Aluglo and Black Art" by Herrmann , and many pass'agca underscored , who Identified her as Almo. Diss Debar.
