PASSED THE PAENELL PENSION BILL ,
Tim Sennto Concurs In the House. ' *
Action On AVednesdny at Noon
the Tin-in' Hill AVIII ho Ho-
ported to the House.
AVAHHIXOTO.V , Alay 15. In the senate today
among the bills reported and placed on the
calendar were the following : The senate
bill to amend the laws relative to shipping
commissioners mid the house bill granting t
pension to Aliss Delia Purnoll ,
The senate then , nt I2-IO : , resumed consld'
oration of the silver bill and Air. Teller con
tinued his argument in criticism of it.
Air. Teller argued that It was nbsolutclj
essential that the treasury notes provided foi
should have the highest possible 111011031
function. Ho did not deny that the passage
of the bill would put the price of silver up.
Its introduction had hod that effect. Why !
Because It was apparent to people abroad
thatr if the United States government con-
mimed the entire silver product of thu
country , one-third of the world's product ,
there would bo a demand foi
silver Unit could not bo met ,
It might put the . price up to par ,
Ho did not know exactly what par would be ,
Ho supposed that Sl.29 ! per ounce would hi
called par in the United States. It would hi
less In Great Britain and less In Europe. Ii
it put the price % per cent above par pur
chase by the government under Iho bill woulO
eenso and thu great Interests arrayed ngainsl
silver would obtain their ends. This was nc
vain supposition. It was berne out by fuots.
There was a party , not in tlio United States
nlone. but all over the worldthat held the cred
its of the world that took toll from all quar
ters , levied tribute on all enterprises and was
in-rayed against silver as money. For seven
teen ycnrs that party had held the
whole civilized world in it-s power. It
had its scat in Europe , but it had Its influ
ences hero. It had added one-third to the
material debt of the United States by legisla
tion and had added an equal amount to state ,
municipal and individual debts. These people
plo hud enriched themselves at the expense
of the many. Colossal fortunes had been
built up In the United States mid Europe
within seventeen years which had no parallel
in the history of the world , and did anybody
believe thcso poplo were now ready to sur
render their vantage and adopt n financial
system that would relieve the tax ridden
debtors of this country m.d the world and
put them back on the piano where they were
In 18711 ? The energies of these people were
beyond calculation. They could put silver at
and above par when they wanted to and if
they would thereby destroy silver ns a money
nietul and then ( when tho'United States gov
ernment could not buy silver under the pend
ing bill ) they would eomo and say : "Wo
told you silver would not do ; you will have
to go to the only suttablo money , gold.1
These people would do anything within the
range of IcglMutivo enactment or commercial
transactions to accomplish their purpose , and
any bill that contained a provision which
would allow such a state of affairs was not n
perfect bill. The bill was a half-way scheme.
It afforded no relief except in making a
special market for silver in excess of thu
present government demand of $ . ' ,000,000 , , a
month. ; ,
If It was proposcd'to ivstaro ifflver it would
have tO'bo 'given its fuW. nonoy function.
There were nt least niiio men in the world
calling for silver us against ono man culling
for gold.
Avhilo ho himself was a blmotalist , if there
was to bo only ono money standrd ho would
welcome a silver basis in the interest of the
race ami of the people of this country.
The question now before the senate was
the question whether the continual dropping
of prices was to continue , to the enslavement
of men , the destruction of enterprise and tlio
special destruction of the debtor class the
greatest and most numerous class in this and
all other countries. "There Is in this coun
try a majority of men who bcllevo there is a
righteous and Just demand for the 1'roo coinage -
ago of silver. They may bo retarded
by the fear that wo will not bo able to enact
n frco coinage bill into law. My duty is
done when 1 exercise my judgment here as
God has given me power to see my duty , mid
not as the executive or anybody else niuv see
it. I propose to do my duty , and I believe
that If the senate will do the same wo will
, have a frco coinngo act which will relieve
( suffering industries , increase opportunities
and bring prosperity , not to the farmer alone ,
but to every class of men deserving the good
will of the legislative mind. "
Air. C6ku addressed the senate in favor of
the frco and unlimited coinage of silver. Ho
declared that the persistent defiance of the
popular will by the executive department of
the government for the past seventeen years
was ono of the most remarkable facts In the
history of free representative government.
The bill reported from the finance commltteo
discriminated against silver In leaving to tlio
secretary of the treasury the right to deter
mine how much of the silver purchased should
bo coined Into money , and as the secretary al
ready held that there was too much
silver coined , it was sure that with
tnat discretion vested in him not another
dollar would bo coined , That provision of
tho.bill was neither moro nor less than a pro
vision to convert the treasury of the United
States Into n warehouse for silver , to bo held
us a commodity on which the government
should advance monny , The passage of the
bill would prove the severest blow to silver
since its demonetization.
The silver bill went over until tomorrow.
After an executive session thu senate ad
journed.
House.
AVASIIIXOTOX , May 15. In the house today
Air. Alelvinloy , from tlio commltto on rules ,
reported a resolution providing Unit tlio
house'shall meet at U o'clock and that after
the reading of the Journal and the disposal of
the conference reports tlio house shall go into
committcu of the whole on the tariff bill ; that
the bill shall bo road through , commencing
with paragraph 111 , and shall bo open to
amendment In any part of the bill following
paragraph 110. and that on AVedticsday next
at noon tha bill , with the pending amend
ments shall bo reported to the house.
Air. Hlount of Georgia criticized the major
ity of the committee on rules shari.ly for re
porting this resolution. After the code had
been adopted , and all restraints thrown over
thu consideration of the bill in committee , it
was proposed to set ustdo the rules govern
ing the committee. It .seemed thu pollcv of
the majority that- whenever any matter was
of a magnitude requiring debate and careful
consideration that this rtilo should bo sus
pended and bccoino nugatory. It mattered
not whether the paragraphs of the bill had
been considered ; it muttered nut that the
measure Involved the business relations of all
the people in this mighty nation ; it mattered
not that it involved the commercial rotations
with all the countries of the world ; that
It Involved one of the greatest political
issues of the time ; that it fastened u system
upon the people for years , the majority had
determined upon a measure and was impa
tient with debate. Ho protests against the
resolution as unamerlcaii , unwlso and a viola
tion of parliamentary proeeeduro.
Air. AIcKlnley denied that the resolution
hud any purpose to stillo debate. It was in
tended to concentrate the debute on the para-1
graphs ami provisions of thu bill. Thu reso
lution wiii "hot to deny to the minority free
dom of debate , but to deny It the right to
delay public business liy dilatory mot'ions and
obstruMvo tactics. The house hud been
given thlrty-tlvo hours for general debate -
bate and fifteen hours under the Jlvo-
in'imto debate rule and it waste
to bo given ftvo days more. Did the gentle
man from Georgia remember that In the
t orty- font tli congress but one day was given
o tlu ) eouslUeraUon of the tariff bill , In tuu
Forty-fifth six days and in the Forty-eighth
nine days.
Air. AIcAIIIlln asked what would become ol
the amendments offered in commltteo of the
whole and not disposed of at noon Wednes
day.Air.
Air. AleKlnloy-They will fall.
After further debate the resolution was

The house then went Into commltteo of the

PAIHM , Auiy 15.-New [ York Herald Cubh
Special to TUB Bin-Mario : ] Gaggnol's
troubles are over. She died early this morn
ing nt Lariboisiero hospital. After the severe
operation 'yesterday the poor girl lay for
bouts in n state of apparent calm , but rcallj
n stupor. The doctors were hope
fill for n while , but us tin
evening advanced It became apparent
that the reassuring symptoms had been delu
sive and but n prelude to thu Jlnnl crisis
Toward 10 o'clock her temperature began lo
rise rapidly and soon the patient was tossing
In u raging fever. All semblance of intelll
gcnco hud disappeared and her inarticulate
sounds , muttered in delirium , conveyed no
meaning. At midnight she was heaving In
convulsions , and in spite of the incrcas
ing efforts ot the attending physicians
nothing served to ulhiy her agony. Toward 1
o'clock she brcathoa her last , carrying with
her to the gravu the secret of her death.
Just before her deatli Alario nnido a terrible
effort , and , raising herself on her elbow , pro
nounced n name , "Emile. " There was no
mistake about the word. The director of the
hospital mid two nurses watching at her bed
side heard it distinctly , and their testimony
agrees. Unfortunately , strain their cars as
they might , they were unable to make any
scnso of the unintelligible jumble which fol
lowed. The girl's eyes stood out from thch
sockets , the right ono bruised and blackened ,
the chords of her neck tightened , she clutched
at the air with bloodless hands and her
volco died away in n series of
gasps. Plainly there was something
she wished to say before .she died , but she
could not say it. What that something was
human justice will never know. Was she
making a supreme attempt to denounce her
slayer , or was Emile some ono she had loved ?
About 2 n. in. she was berne into the
nmpithcaler dead. The Herald cor
respondent saw her there this morn
ing. As you enter this icy
room the atmosphere is heavy with disinfect
ants. Your eyes full upon rows of tables , on
which rest rows of oblong boxesoonins il
you like painted black. In these corpses nro
placed , twenty , thirty mid sometimes fifty a
day. Near thu corpse of another woman
Alario Gaggnol was pla.icd . , livid and
cold as death had loft her. About
U p. in. a wagon from the morgue
drew up at the baolc cntvanuo and the re
mains of the murdered girl were carried
away to a small and sinister-talking nnilding
which stands under the shadow of Notre
Dame. There , enclosed in a refrigerating
box , they will bo kjpt for two or three
months on a chancu that the assassin may bo
discovered. In that time , should such be the
case , ho will be brought face to fuco with his
speechless accuser.
Unfortunately the police seem almost as
far from finding the guilty man for , of
course , it was a man as they were when the
crime was discovered.

tion of farmei-s for political as well as busl

gentlemen who have for years occupied seat !
without respect to the wishes of the voters o
the rural districts. The argument made this
week before the house commltteo on ways
and means in favor of the bill providing
warehouse receipts from the government fo
deposits of grain show , if nothing else
that the farmers intend to wield an in
ilucnco in politics. The Farmers' alliance is
cutting quite as strong a flguro In the soutl
as in the west. It has already decided no
only to nominate n stale ticket In Georgia
with Colonel Livingston as its candidate fo
governor , but also to run candidates for congress
gross in at least seven of tlio ten districts
The exceptions nro the districts now reprc
sentcd by Crisp , Turner and Lester. This
determination has thrown such men as
Hlount , Barnes , Stewart and demons , who
have hitherto had matters their own way
into an agony of Tear. They seem U
realize that any agency which will bo stronf.
enough to protect the agricultural laborers ii
the exercise of their political rights , whiel
for years have been denied , and which . hal
bo able also to win the support of those
voters is one which means the ruin of theit
political future. Men who for years have
been complacently holding office in Washing

hero in force working against tills provision
of the bill , and it is possible , though not
probable , that they may succeed in striking it
from the bill in tlie house. Chairman MeKin
ley reiterated today that the bill would be
come a law practically as it stands ; that the
members of the committee on ways uni

sivcly the wishes of the senate , and that al

The house of representatives has passed n
bill to repeal the timber culture act , as it bos
done in every congress for several years , but
the senate committee on public lands will not
accept it , and has prepared a substitute re
pealing both the timber culture and the pre
emption law in the sumo bill. The measure
has not yet been reported to the senate , but
its consideration by the committee will prob
ably bo completed on Monday. The bill , as it
stands now , repeals the timber culture net ,
but provides that the repeal shall not
affect any valid rights heretofore accrued ,
but all bona lido claims lawfully initiated
may bo perfected in the sumo manner and
upon the same conditions as heretofore and
any person who has made an entry under the
timber culture act and who 1ms for four years
in good faith complied with the provisions of
said law shall bo entitled to make final proof
and acquire tltlo to the siiino by the payment
of SLIM per acre. The desert land act is
amended in the bill by adding to it : v pro
vision requiring the party entering land
under that act to file a map showing the
mode contemplated for irrigation and thu
source of the water to bo used for irrigation.
The bill also repeals the pre-emption law and
leaves all public lands subject only to settle
ment under the homestead act.
MUST COMB TO TUB SB.VATtt'S TF.I1MS.
"It looks as though the house would have
to recede from Us position and agree to the
senate bill if there is any general pension leg
islation at this session , and pension legisla
tion we must have , " said Chairman Merrill
of the house commltteo on invalid pensions.
this afternoon. Mr. Merrill is the principal
house member of the joint commltteo on con
ference and will have almost ubsoluto control
of the position assumed by the houso. Mr.
Merrill said further : "The senate seems to bo
determined not to accept any kind of n service
pension clause in the bill , although the bill
which the house passed ranches a much
larger number of claimants and will do a
a great deal more goon than the one
which is presented by the senate.
The conferees on the part of the house will
not take the responsibility of yielding to the
demand of the senate , but will report from
tlmo to time as the work of the conference
progresses and ask the house forinstruetioiis.
1 presume wo shall have some kind of final
action within a Mery short time. "
There is great anxiety on the part of the
house for a. service pension , it is under
stood that 1'rcsidoiit Harrison looks with
much favor upon the house bill , as ho has
very liberal Ideas as to pensions and believes
that the greater the number of pensioners
who can be relieved the better It wilt bo for the
people at largo. Ho would gladly sign an ab
solute service pension bill.
The objecllom to the senate bill are that it
does not go as far as the house bill and re
quires the pei-sons who receive the pension to
either prove disability or dependency. The
latter elau.su is offensive to a great many
claimants. Tlio Clrand Army af the Kepubli'o
is a charitable organi/atlon and It will not bo
mora humiliating and should not be moro ob
jectionable to prove dependency before the
pension bureau in order to secure a pension
under the senate bill than it would bo to
make proof to the Grand Army of the Kepub-
Ho In order to secure relief front that body.
Nor would it bo moro dllllcult or humiliating
lo secure a pension under the senate bill than
It would bo to secure relief from any organi
zation having mutual benefit In view.
