WASHINGTON. U. C. , May > . 1
As Intimated In these dispatches at the
time the astonishing verdict In the Com
mander McCalln court-martini verdict was
made public , congress Intends to throw out
snfo guards ngninst llio effort of the army
nnd navy to protect its officers at the cost of
the public service. McCalln was convicted
of all the half dozen or more charges inado
against him , enough to have sent him to the
penitentiary a score or moro of years had ho
been tried by n civil Jury or court , nud ho
got a leave of absence from duty for three
years on full pay.
General Urosvcnor of Ohio baa begun the
movement towards amending the laws gov
erning such Incidents nud he promises radical
reform before ho gets done. Ho lias Introduced
n bill providing that when an army or navy
officer is sentenced by court-martial to sus
pension from rank and duty for a period ex
tending beyond the date when , under the law ,
* v ho may go upon the retired list , the president
may retire such officer and make an appoint
ment to fill the vacancy. This proposition is
Biado to especially cover the case of Judge
Advocate General Swaimwhowas suspended
from rank and duty three or four .veal's ago
for n period when ho may bo retired , and
while ho cjinnot perform the duties of the
ofllco no ono can be appointed to do so , and
thus a practical vacancy must continue for
ncvcral years yet in the highest judicial olllco
in the army. The object of such a sentence
wns two-fold. It saved to Swalm his salary
and kept the president from making an ap
pointment. There is little doubt that the
bill will pass. Then will follow other meas
ures intended to remedy the wrongs to the
public , which occur In various forms with
court-martial sentences.
MOODY ON sn.viii. :
I asked Senator Moody of South Dakota to
day whether ho was going to deliver a speech
on the silver bill. He said : "No , I shall not ,
for the reason that I do not know anything
about the subject. The fact is I do not be
lieve any ono has what wo might call a good
reliable Idea of the silver question. It is all
speculative , like walking in the dark. Two
or three years ago our best financiers openly
announced that the free coinage of silver
would wreck our financial credit and bring
disaster upon the government. These same
men are now claiming that unless we have
f it'O silver coinage the same result will fol
low. The conditions of our finances are npt
to change , so that I do not think it is possible
for any man to bo an infallible authority
upon the subject. The whole financial prob
lem is solved by confidence at d faith. We
must have the co-operation of the people , and
it is much better for a legislator to act as his
constituents want him to act than to move
upon his own individual judgment. Wo nro
for free coinage iu my country. "

Fewer private bills will pass the Fifty-first
than have passed any congress during the
last decade , Nearly alt of the private bills
wli'h have passed already during this ses
sion are for pensions. The reason for this is
obvious. So many bills of a publio character
have been passed carrying largo appropria
tions that private claims and propositions of
nn individual nature could not bo considered
on account of lack Of time und demands for
economy.
It is probable thnt when congress adjourns
there will bo ns many as eight or nine thou
sand bills on the calendars or in committees.
One thing can bo said of this congress no
corrupt measure has passed so far and none
nro likely to be passed. The committees have
all been headed with men of the highest typo
of character mid they have been bent upon
keeping out of every proposition of question
able tmurocter.
' ' 'ho result has been n great deal of com
plaint from private- claimants and there will
bo much pressure brought to bear iu the next
Bcssion to secure tlio passage of private meas
ures. An impression prevails that one reason
why It has been decreed that there should be
few private bills passed Is tlio approaching
political campaigns. This is not true. The
Miggestion has nothing to do with the facts.
This congress is opposed to the consideration
6f private measures bv the wholesale. It is
likely that one thing will result from the in
attention to private claims and that is the
creation of a largo committee , composed of
lawyers and the shrewdest business men in
the house , who will have absolute jurisdic
tion over all classes of private clniirKnot pen
sions. This proposition was suggested at the
beginning of the present congress by Mr.
Howell of Illinois , and its discussion iu'im in
formal way in the house has met with u great
deal of popularity.
THIS ro.iTOpnci : nun.niNo mix.
Friends of the proposition to enact a law
providing for the construction of federal
buildings in cities having second-class postr
offices with receipts averaging over $ ; itioo a
year have almost lost , hope of success for their
bill nt this session. They say , however , that
there will bo nothing to urge against action
upon this bill at the next session , as the cam
paign will bo over and those who have n
consciousness of the justice of the proposi
tion , but are afraid to endorse it now for
political reasons , will bo Willing to come to
the front. The postomYo department con
tinues to enter into leases for buildings to bo
occupied by second-class postolllces covering
periods of five years and the postal olllcials
do not regard the outlook for the passage of u
bill of this kind with much hope.

It did look for a time at the opening of the
Fifty-first congress as though the regular ap
propriation for the civil service commission
would be lopped off nnd tlio continuance of
the present civil service reform discontinued
for at least a while. There was undoubtedly
a great deal of dissatisfaction with the opera
tion of the law at the hands ot the commis
sion ns at present organized. It is probable
that the iH.1-sonnl us well us official unpopu
larity of Commissioner Lyman , who was one
of tlie first men placed upon the board , bad
much to do with creating the dissatisfaction
In congress. There Is now , however , no
probability that the appropriation for the
commission will be refused at the hands of
congress or any bill passed or any part of
tlio statutes repealed which will Interfere
with the progress of the reform ns now being
carried forwaid.
A number of suggestions wore made
by members and put in the form
of bills looKing toward the improvement of
the civil service reform , but none of them
have received serious consideration , or been
reported from committee. The strongest
friend of the law niullts enforcement never
misses an opportunity to acknowledge Unit
there are weak } > olnts In It. and that there
fchould lie amendments made to the law with
u view to a higher degree of perfection ; but
boinelmw or other there are so many Ideas
no one is nblo to formulate any of them in u ,
practical way. Them will be nothing done
for or against civil bervlco reform In this
congress. .
JIU3. I.CCT WILLIAMS OWUN.
Today's Herald of ( his city presents a splen
did double column portrait of a lady well and
fn\orably known In three states of the west-
Nebraska , lowaaml Indiana thowifeof t'on-
preasmau Owen of the latter state. With the
port rait is a sketch of her life , from which
this Is taken : "Mrs. Lucy Williams Owen
is a direct descendant of Koger Williams ,
fauo was burn in Washington , N Y , but her
nthcr dying when she was a mere Infant ,
sue , wltu u fuiniiy of brothers and sUtcra ,
wns brought up by her mother. The mother
soon after the death of her hus
band removed to Providence , H. I. ,
Where little Lucy wns educated.
"She was a beautiful child and nt the early
aeo of sixteen attracted the attention of
Charles H. Luco of Milwaukee. They were
soon married and the young husband took
the still younger wife to his western home.
Here ho engaged In the lumber business ,
built up a largo trade and afterward removed
to Chicago , where ho ama-.sed a fortune. In
vesting much of it in Iowa lands. He died In
Iowa , leaving Mrs. Owens with two sons.
Ono of those Is a prominent banker at Lcgnn ,
Iowa , nnd the other , n young man of seven
teen , lives in Washington With his mother.
"Mr. Owen married Mrs. Luco
in Omaha two years ago. since
which time she has resided in
Washington nnd enjoys the prestige of being
the only lady in the Indiana republican col
ony to represent the great state socially at
the capital. Shu Is much admired by her
husband's constituency , in the departments
as well as at home. She has a lovely homo In
Omaha and ono also In Loimnsport , lud.
Mrs. Owen is fond of society and enters Into
It with all the/.cstof onewho Is fitted ) for it
by nature and culture. At homo she has
been Verv active In children's hospital work
nnd b-ivs she misses it from her life in this
gay capital. Mr. Owen Is a member of the
Gartleld memorial church and Is ono of Dr.
Power's most efficient aido-de-camps in the
mission established on Capitol Hill and for
which ho nets ns superintendent. Mrs.
Owen takes great Interest In this mission
nnd she often assists her husband nnd inter
ests herself In the women In the depart
ments , often proving a valued friend to those
from her state seeking positions or promo
tions. "
IlKClI'ltOClTY TIIIIATiro.
It is very probable that Mr. Blaine will re
new his attempts to secure authority to make
reciprocity treaties with the South American
nations , and that his suggestions will meet
with greater favor in the senate than they re
ceived in the house. Mr. Allison and Mr.
Aldrich , who will bo on tlio sub-committee ,
nro both outspoken in favor of 'the policy Mr.
Blaine advocate- ' , and Mr. Sherman Is com
mitted to it in the strongest terms. During
the past week the president had a conversa
tion with n prominent diplomatist , at which
he expressed the opinion thnt it was a great
mistake for congress to remove the duty from
sugar when it was so easy to obtain recipro
cal concessions from the sugar growing
nations in favor of American merchandise ,
and ho also deprecated that feature of the
MeKlnley bill that increases the duty on ear-
pet wools , which are almost exclusively im
ported from the South American nations ,
with which wo are trying to increase our
trade. No ono who is familiar with
tlio views of the president would be surprised
to see a strong message from him on this sub
ject before the tariff bill is disposed of.
A coxmicttATi : AiT.vin.
Notice has been given that the dedication
of the monument to General Leo at Kieh-
mend this week , is to be purely a confederate
affair. The militia regiments that take part
in the parade will bo ranked in the order in
which the states from which they came passed
the ordinance of secession. No flags will bo
carried but the Hags of tlie several states , nnd
the Kiehmond newspapers already report a
liberal display of confederate bunting on the
public and private buildings of the city. The
Washington papers have for several days con
tained calls for all confederate soldiers resid
ing in tliis city to report themselves at certain
headquarter ; , to bo organised for participati n
in the ceremonies , and several hundred nave
already made their arrangements to go to
Hiehinond. The refusal of Secretary's Proc
tor and Tracy to permit the Army and Navy
band to attend is still the cause of great in
dignation to the survivors of the lost cause ,
but their action seems to have been well con
sidered , now that the character of the or-
raiigomcuts has become known.
Tin : T.uiiiT nn.r/ .
The senate committee on finance will take
up the tariff bill ut iu i % > gulur nice tint. on
Tuesday night and refer it to a sub-committee
which will probably consist of Senators Alli
son , Aldrich , Hiscock , Harris and Carlisle.
This committee will then decide whether to
give a hearing to the representatives of in
terest affected by the bill , but it is not prob
able that they will do so for the subject was
exhausted at the last session of congress and
there has not been any change in the economic
condition of the country since then. Those
who dcsiro to bo heard will bo asked to sub
mit their arguments in writing. Protests
have already been received from more than
fifteen hundred of the largest importers in the
country against tlio increase of duties on
certain articles , and the mails of the senators
from nearly every state contain arguments
against tlie proisions of the bill as it passed
tlio house. It is therefore safe to say that
most of the schedules in which the duties
have been increased will bo cut down again
to tlio present rates , or even lower.
Senator Mundcrson is not so well tonight as
ho was yesterday , lie has considerable fever
and suffers moro or loss all the time. Ills
sleep is not sound or refreshing cither. The
principal difficulty is in the bullet wound
which ho received in Ids back about the ,
spine , and from which he has suffered from
time to tinio ever since the war. Ho sat up
for awhile tills morning , but it is feared ho
will have to keep to his bed for some days.

Jim Johnson nnd John Bolnn , who killed , on
Thursday last Jeff Hunt nnd seriously
wounded Claude Stewart near Lena Station ,
this parish. All of the parties concerned uro
whites. Tlio killing originated in a charivari
party on Hemphill creek , about twenty miles
from the scone of the murder , in which the
son of Johnson wns killed. In consequence
of the trouble Hunt aud Stewart left homo
nnd went to the saw mill of White & Hatton ,
near Lena Station , to work.
Johnson and liolan on Thursday morning
rode to the mill. They found Hunt standing
near the boilers. Johnson .sent a load of
buckshot into him , killing him Instantly ,
Bolnn then fired a shot through the corpse's
head. Tlio two then hunted up Stewart and
shot him , putting nine buckshot and a Win
chester bull into him. They left him , sup
posing ho would die , but from latest accounts
ho may recover. They rottirnod homo and
Bolan went to the house of C. C. Stewart ,
aged slkty years , father of the wounded man ,
called him. out and shot him twice with a
Winchester rllle , killing him.
Tno sheriff was on the ground soon after
and ho received n message from Johnson's
wife saying that If the sheriff wished to ar
rest him to follow In the tracks of Tom Gen
try , n brother-in-law ot the wounded man , ns
ho would bo there , nnd as soon as ho hnd
killed Tom Gentry he would IK ) willing to sur
render. Johnson Is nbout thirty-seven years
old and Illiterate. Bolan is about twenty-
eight years old and haa always berne a bad
reputation.
Sheriff Stafford todav had posters printed
and circulated in all directions , giving a de
scription of the murderer and uttering a re
ward of $ yut ) for their arrest. The inurdor * > f
Hunt was witnessed by over fourteen men , us
was the shooting of Stewart.

and artists , first of whom wns Mr. Whitclnw
Held , who spoke as follows : "Tho request to
say n few words at the opening of this Ameri
can Students' as-ociatlon was 0110 that could
not bo refused it imposed a duty and it con
ferred an honor. I icspond to ono cheer
fully and make my best acknowledge
ment for the other enterprise inaugu
rated here. It has in it no clement
of charity or propagandism. It is a move
ment originating among Americans for Amer
ican artists in Parl , and is intended for
American artists and is likely to bo of some
service in developing Americans. It presents
n plan for enabling a largo number of young
art students in a strnngo city to help them
selves and increase both their strength and
their comfort by associating their efforts ,
and offers agreeable headquarters and a com
mon meeting ground for such of these young
men as have not forgotten their Americanism
or lost uicji ccsiro lor American ntrun ,
American faces and some feati.rcs of life
they left nt home. We are hero in the heart
of the Latin quarter. There is not much in it
nt llrst sight to save young men fresh from
the new world from a great scnso of isolation
and loneliness , yet nowhere clso in Europe is
there such n concentration of young Ameri
cans studying for any profession in nil Eu
rope. There nro probably not one-third as
many students of art anywhere else a few
go to Munich nud a few to Homo , Italy , or
elsewhere , but aside from those nlmost all
students from a nation that numbers 03-
000,000 people , who seek instructions in
art anywhere in the old world ,
are gathered within a milo or two of this
spot. The organizers of this association as
sure mo that there are In this movement 1JO , (
American art students in Purls. Americans
will regard with satisfaction the marked ten
dency to artistic pursuits. In the interest
shown by their young countrymen , both at
homo and in this recognized art centre of the
world , no one can fall to sco what genera-
ntions of study and the enjoyment of art have
done for the French people. Who else the
world over could have made last year's brill
iant display and achieved with it marvelous
financial success on Champ do Mars.
Our own people have been busy
developing the continent , and have
led the world In subduing the forces of
nature , yet art has un honorable past in the
United States and boasts many worthy
mimes' . It has made n metropolitan museum
not unworthy n great city which is the gate
way to the continent , and I congratulate you ,
gentlemen , on entering this Held nt a moment
so auspicious , nnd rejoice with every Amori-
cnn , nt the prospect Hint widens before you. "
Having spoken thus , when the clapping of
bauds had ceased , Mr. Held turned ton white
haired gentleman at his side , and speaking
In French Introduced to the gathering him
whom he styled the guest of the evening , the
famous artist , M. J. L. Gcrouie , amid storms
of applause. M. Geromo arose and delivered
n short speech , after which came muslo nud
declamations the inttcr by Mrs. Frank Leslie -
lie mid Miss Hooper , the former by Mrs.
Smith , M. lllnnwelt , Mr. Stunts , Master
Jules Bonchorit , E. Humphrey Allen and
Miss Luclo Lion. These selections were all
warmly applauded. The concluding address
was made by the Marquis do Hochimibeau , n
staunch friend of America. The miirquis
expressed the deep sympathy ho felt for
American students and for anything
calculated to Increase their happiness and
well-being during their years of study lu-

Itiile for Life of Jolui Ityno to Ksonpo
a Fearful PnrHiier.
CAiuiiAon , III. , May 2o. This morning nt
10 o'clock n man pallid with fear , driving nt
frantic speed a horse attached to n buckboard -
board , dashed into town and told n strange
story. Ills name is John Hyno , and ho is n
farmer living flvo or six miles in the country.
Hyno declared that ho had been chased for
live miles by n rabid mare. Ills own horse
was covered with foam nnd showed the
effects of a hard drive. Ryno said his
attention was llrst attracted by the run
ning of a horse behind him and ho saw that n
white mare was following his buckboard
about a hundred yards away. The unimnl
kept up a peculiar noise , resembling the
snarling of a dog. She came up rapidly , lind
when within fifty feet Jivno , to his horror ,
saw that the brute wns suffering from rabies.
The eyes nnd nostrils of the animal wcro dis
tended , and the hideous yelps became more
frequent nnd pronounced. Hyno lashed his
horse into u run , but there was no need , as
the animal had begun to tremble and whinny
with fear , nnd broke away at her highest
speed. But the mad muro gained , nnd
was soon biting and snapping at the buckboard -
board wheels , at Hyno and at his horso.
Hyno beat the brute in the face with his
whipstoek , but to no effect. IIo says the
awful race lasted fully live miles. A passen
ger train on the railroad came along when
near town and the marc , with a hideous
squeal , leaped u low hedge and ran after the
train. Hyno watched the race until the
horse nnd train wcro lost to sight round a
curve. What became of ttio rabid horse is
not kuowii.

From her champion anil v friend ho bus turueu

failure in providing him n special train from
New York to Tacouin over the Northern Pa

oven transportation , and the world-beater
rattles away like a parrot against Jay
Gould , whom ho always denounced , and
Henry Villard , both of whom ho blames. At
Iluntington , Ore. , ho was robbed of SHOO nnd
Ids transportation. Tliis increased his linger ,
and when ho arrived at Portland yesterday
morning nnd found no special train to carry
him to Tacoma he worked himself into a
frenzy. IIo says that if ho hud had any
money , having been robbed of his last cent ,
ho would not have gone to Tacoma , but would
have returned to New York by the next train.
Ho tried to borrow money to take him back ,
but nobody in Portland would let himhavoit.

People In ami About Sallnn Tired of

SAI.IXA , Ivan. , May 25. The business men
of Salina with few exceptions can be heard
daily expressing themselves ns tired of the
prohibition law. In fact , it is not a question
of prohibition any longer , but high license vs.
free and unrestrained whisky. The joint nnd
original package houses do n nourishing busi

Several European gcutlemcn who have vis
ited this city recently said Kansas had n bad
name throughout England , Germany , Franco
und other countries wbcro they hnd traveled
on account of her puritanical blue laws.
Hence the tremendous falling off in immigra
tion to this state as compared with Nebraska ,
Texas and other states.

BIK. : ] The union memorial services held
today at the Congregational church were
perhaps the most Impressive as well iw the
most largely attended of any of the kind ever
held In the city. There were n thousand
persons present to 'participate In the exer
cises. The Grand Army post and the Na
tion id Gtiimis attended In uniform and were
accorded positions of honor. The church was
elaborately decorated for the occasion by n
profusion of Hugs and bunting displayed and
draped everywhere. The special music was
rendered by a choir composed of the city's
best vocalists , The sermon was preached by
Hev. J. W. Uoblnson , pastor of
the Methodist church. The eloquent
discourse was made moro Interesting
from the fact that the speaker is himself an
old soldier , It was an inspiration. He took
for his text the two Inscriptions on the silver
dollar , vl/t : "E Pluribns Unum'1 ami "In
( jed Wo Trust. " He detailed the carnage
and struggle which the nation 1ms passed
through to maintain the former , and then
standing upon that basis the hope and trust
of the nation Is expressed in tlie other. The
iiresent menace to the perpetuity of American
institutions , ho said , are an un-American bal
lot , an ignorant ballot and n drunken ballot ,
or the whisky twllle. In wise and patriotic
language ho warned his hearers against till
these.

YOKK , Neb. , May S.I. [ Special to Tin :
Br.n. ] Much condemnation Is expressed with
refeience to the action taken by tlio city conn-
il in refusing to grant liquor permits to the
Iruggists. There nro various views upon the
natter. A year ago the proposition to llx an
occupation tax for the sale of liquor by drug
gists met with disfavor by the anti-saloonists ,
who gave as their reason that it was only
Iccnsing tlie drug stores to do a saloon busi
ness. The council then concluded
: o grant nermils without the tax ,
which was done , and in this way tlie matter
ms stood until the present , council met , to
consider the permit question. At tlio Into
election councllmen were elected upon tliis
ssue , and it was thought that it "wet" coun
cil had been chosen.
Much to the surprise of many they failed
: o move in tlio direction they were expected
to. Tills was a sore disappointment to the
Iruggist , inasmuch as it shut.s olT a sung little
evciiue. and it also looms up in a rather un-
ravorablo aspect to many of the temperance
element. Many predict tlie shutting off of
: he druggists to be the laying of tlie founda
tion for saloons. While this is a mere conjec
ture , it is mighty apt to occur if a happy mo-
liuin can not bo reached. There is much un-
; asiness over the proluble outcome. While
: ho druggists here are losing a good trade on
iccount of the situation , it is a gain to Sew-
ird , Lincoln , Fremont and other places.
