The Big Vcstem Union Building Badly Damaged by the Plaints. MIRACULOUS ESCAPES FROM DEATH. A 1'n tiki Among tin ; lOuipInjoM , hut All or Ilioin HiU'i'lyTrtkrii from ( lie 1. uniliig Structure by Dravc I'lronicii , Nr.w YOIIK , July IS , The Western Union telr-t'iiiph building caught lire nt 7 o'clock this morning. The distributing room on the 11 fill floor , the operating- room on the floor nliove , tlio Associated press rooms anil res- limrntit on tlio seventh floor , wore completely destroyed. Seven livea wcro mlraculouslj- BiU'ed. A foiv mlnutci before 7 o'clock the opera tors began arriving to go to work. About lllty men and young women hail reached the operating room , A messenger boy saw n pufr of sinoko under a table in tbo distributing room on the floor below the operating room , lie scarcely had time to investigate the cuuso when the wooden table was In flames and tbo lire Bprcndlng with Jightning rapidity. Ho rushed up btatrs to notify the now arrivals tlint the building was on. Uro. They were compelled to go through the distributing room to get down staiw , A panic was the result. Tbo women screamed nnd thu men rushed poll inell down stnlrs to eiiMpo tbo llames , . which In le.ss than two minutes spread almost over the entire distributing room , burning up wire ? , instruments and cables us if so much tinder. The entire room when the panic-stricken crowd passed through It was fllled with clcnao , stilling smoke. They fell over each other in their wild effort ) to roach n plnco of snfc-ty. As soon as tlio smoke was noticed Night Jlunagiir Toliln cried fire , and in a moment nil the men In the room Jumped for tbo hand grenades which hung about the Wjdls. These they began to throw down the hole wlicie the flames were. The contents splashed out when the Rlais broke aud the liquid sputtered n little when It mot tliu tiro. That wa.s nil the visible effects. The hand grenades could not light a lire like this. ToWn called a mes- Bcnircr hey to no down and send in an alarm. As soon us tlio boy stinted downstair ! ) the Operator unrolled n big luiso wheel which Is kept at the south side of the Hoer always ready for an emergency of this kind. They unrolled the hose aiulTobin turned tlio water on. It via a pretty good .stream ami it looked at llrst as il It would bent tbo wave of tlaino out of existence , but it aid not not a bit. The oiily effect ( t seemed to have was to make the lire shoot up higher , mid it wus noticed that tbo smoke cMino rolling out of the big hole In creator volumes than before. These operators xvorked the hose until the smoke became so thick th it they could not see where the lire was. Three ladies of the day force who had nrri veil kept cool nnd the operators worked hko leavers. They sooa found , however , that their efforts were use less. The elevator man hail brought tlio clevntor up to the lifth floor nnd the women went into the cars with some of the men. They began to realize by this time that thu llro was a more serious affair than ut llrst thought. When the last few crowiled into the hist car they wcro just n little bit frightened. As they passed , the floor below the hole a wave of sinoko passed over them which mtule their throats dry mid parched , nnd us tlio car proceeded down llro brands full upon Jhoia uiul burned their clothing. When the car reached the bottom they wcro nil glad enough to get out. Not until then did these men realize that cscapo had almost 'been cut off , anJ it is not on record where men worked so haul under such fearful clr- cnrti3liuces and against suck oills us did theto thirty men. By this time the flames hud reached the ceiling of the distributing room and -were cat- InRtliolrwiiy through to the operating room , where ihu instruments that connect with the wires that distribute uows throughout the country were located. In less time than it takes to tell this the entire floor was ublazo nnd the flumes were extending to the Hoer above , on which , the Western Union com pany's restaurant was located. On the restaurant floor there \vcro four men and three women , who , seeing escape cutoff from .every quarter , became panic N stricken , Thu young women were waiters in the restaurant and tlio men were cooks mid Hhorcmcn. The women rushed around tlio restaurant screaming nnd wringing their hands. One of the men , finding tthere wns no posslblo means to cscapo down ward , rushed for the scuttle In the roof. The trap door was pushed off and tlio prisoners climbed to the roof. The Hamcs wcro shoot- Ingout of the front windows ami volumes of sinoko puffed hcavcnwaid. From under the eaves of the great building tlio llames wcro shooting up and the structure seemed crowned with llro. "When tbo great crowds on the streets saw the men und women rush out upon the roof a cry of terror went up , for it illd not seem possible that they could survive. In a few minutes after the llro started there wcro fourteen engines and hook nnd ladder com panies and a water tower on the ground. Wiiti was poured in through the ilanlng windows and beat down upon tlio rooffalllng , to the ( itounii In n perfect cataract. All of the houses surrounding the building wcro much lower than the roof of tlio West- era Union and for these on top of It dentil seemed certain. Along huliler was rarscd tc the roof of the building adjoining and pbicei : Qpilnsttho rear of tbo burning Imilillng. II did not reach within llfty feet of the roof of thu Western Union. Two firemen , however , scaled the ladder and threw a rope to the roof which was caught nni ! tied. The lire-men then pulled Uiem selves up hand over hand until they toucher tliu roof , and ntnld the cheers of the assem bled thousands let the seven down to places of safety. It wns accomplished just In time for tbo flames immediately burst up througl and soo'.i enveloped thu roof. The iiiimonso amount of water soon began . Jo have n telling effect upon the tire , and iln- ittly the flames died away altogether. The entire upper part of the building wns gutted and every instrument nnd wlro rendered use less , How tbo lire originated no one teemed to know , but it is surmised that two of tno conif-aiiy's - electric- light wires became crossed and sot the flooring on llro , Hud the llro broken' out-nn hour later the loss of life might have been enormous. Fully coven hundred girls ami men uroemplovcd in the great building , Tbo llooj-s tire Hooded with wilier to tlio depth of u foot or moro , . niul the destruction wlilch was started-by the lira was nbMiluti'ly completed by the water. \Vlien the tt.iy force nrrivcd shortly after 8 o'clock it .was but too evident that the use fulness of the great building was nt tin end for the present. The ruin of tbo oponitlng- room rendered every "Western Union wiiii > n Manhattan Ulamt useless , so the associated press opened head quarters in Jersey City , every facility lelng afforded them by thoofllclal * of thol'ennsyl- iiuula railroad company , and before the uro \va under control tlio various circuits of the associated press were In active operation. No exact figures can yet bo glvon as , to the loss , but it will be heavy , The building is ' JUlcd with ofnYcs on the llvo lower lloors , which nro occupied by some of the greatest railroad magnates in the world. The vast svktoin of tlio 1'aclllc railroads is o penned i through Instructions given from tbo building nnd there tire theju'ivnto ofllces of .lay Ciould , Sidney Dillon , Dr. Is'orvln firecn mid others who are famous throughout tbo country. The vice president of tlio Western Union is of the opinion that the loss of Unit com * imny will not nuu'h exceed $103,000 , Ho also bclloves they will be able to employ coniidor- " ' nMo force in the main hallways In a duy or two , Already now switchboards are na the way from Vlilhulelptila uud all that money and energy cnu do to iiulckly restore llii ) service for the pulillo will be done , The associated press will use the executive room on the fifth Iloor and such other rooms as cnn bo hnd in the neighborhood.

A Convict at Oln'stciOonfenscs to an Old Murder. V A xiiAt.i \ , 1 U. , J uly 18. 1'enitentiary Com missioner J. J. Ilrown , of this city , while on a recent visit to the southern Illinois peni tentiary , tit Chester , came In possession of the following interesting facts ! Thcro la n convict in the Chester peniten tiary by the initno of Davis , sentenced for ten jrears , from White county. Davis was the ccll-niiito of one Charles Henderson , a former resident of this ( Fayctto ) county , nnd well remembered by the people of Vnnduliu. Henderson is now serving a ten years1 sentence from Christian county for nn Inhuman crime. Some tbno ago ho was taken side in prison , and thinking be was going to die sought to release his conscience by relat ing to his cell mates the shocking details of a murder , most foul , committed In this county eighteen years ago , and confessing that lie and bis brother were the murderers. The crime Is well remembered , the victim being Frank Little , u young farmer residing In the northern uart of thiseountv. Little nnd his two sisters lived together , and were known to he among the very best people of the neighborhood. The night of the murder Little was seated at an organ playing and singing , accompanied by his sisters , who stood by his sido. A shot wns lircd through n window , and Little fell to the Iloor dead. Immediate steps wcro taken by the people of the neighborhood and ofllccrs to hunt down the murderer , but little or no clue could bo obtained. Years passed , and still nothing de veloped which could possibly lead to the Identification of the assassin , and us time fled the horrible event almost faded from the memories of our people. Now , the circumstances of the occurrence are suddenly and unexpectedly revived under peculiar imd surprising conditions , and tliero Is yet a probability that the perpetrators may , after till , bo brought to punishment for tlio crime of eighteen yearn ago. A barn of Cimipbell Nave , an uncle of the murdered man , living in tno same neighborhood , was burned a short time after the murder , and Henderson also admits that bo and his brother were guilty of this crime. His brother , ho says , is now In Aliilno. Charles Henderson has a uniformly bad record and is perfectly capable of such a crime us lie confesses to. Ho is now serving bus second term in the penitentiary. The llrst was for implication in the theft of a car lo.ul of cattle from J , M. Parko of Vera , this county , which w.is brought to Van- didia and shipped to Chicago. His present sentence for ten years is for a crime com mitted at Taylorville during the cam paign of IkbS. A big political rally was in progress tit that place , when Henderson , who was located Ihcreas a veter inary surgeon , sneaked around after dark and poisoned thirty or forty horses , from the ef fects of which several valuable animals died , Ho was arrested for the deed , and in n few days confessed to it. Tlio convict Unvls , to whom the confession v/as made , anil who imparted the same to \Vnrden Dowcll , is a Kentuckian , an intelli- t't'tit man , and bears ttio reputation mnong the prison officials of bolng truthful.

Tex , , July 18 , Excitement In the celebrated Payne baby case reached a max imum this afternoon when Lester Payne shot down his brother-in-law , Will Estes , In the leading commercial street df this city.

A few weeks ngo Le-ster P.iyno took his two-year-old baby to n suburb and informed his wlfo that It was probably ilrowncdIn a lako. This threw the wife into convulsions.

The body was traced to 101 Paso lu her possession , where she was arrested on the charge of kid naping. Detectives started back with her and the babv , but at Eagle Ford its father slipped on hoard of the train and stele the child , A few days later Payne's father arrived from California , nnd after remaining in the city three days disappeared.

The progress of the corntof the population of the Unltcil States Is being pushed moro rapidly than ever , and day after day the ca pacity of the counting division is hicreinui , until now , with n night fowe on every even ing , the division Is enabled to tabulate the re turns nt the rate 2,500,000 names a day. This rate , if kept up , will sccuri ! tbo count of the to'al population within the next three weeks , ai.d preparations are already being made for fho introduction Into congress of nn appor tionment bill. In this connection Superin tendent Porter staled today that bo has re ceived from every supervisor In the country reports relative to thu question of mortgage statistics and he is gratified to ilnd that throughout the entire country the enumera tors experienced very little dlfilculty in se curing the information in this line against which there was Mich n protest from various ilnnnolal newspapers for some time. Now the whole outloolt is for a very complete nnd satisfactory census and in spite of the criti cisms which have been heard from tlmo to time , there Is rcaly | no reason why the dc- partmint should not congratulate itself upon the result of the work , which was done moro promptly than ever known before. A XUIlllASKA UNO DHCISION , Assistant Secretary Chandler of the in- tcrlur department today deledcd that the com- mlsRlotikr was wrong In dismissing the con test of John G. i'iko against the homestead entry of William S. Atkinson for the south quarter of the northeast quarter und the south half of the northwest quarter of section ! i ( ) , township 12. range 13 Avest , Grand Island , Neb. , district. 'It appeals that Atkinson made a homestead entry for this land March i ) , 1SS. > , and In March , 1SSO , James Hunter instituted u contest. Munh 27 of the same year Atkinson 9 relinquished the title nnd gnvo it to ono Itoo , tit- torncy for Hunter. Juno U , IbSO , I'lko filed a contest niralnst the entry , alleging abandonment mid ttiat the Hunter contest was it collusion between Atkinson , Hunter and Hunter's attorney mid was for speculation. Oa July I Hunter withdrew bis contest nnd it was dismissed. On the day for Pike's hearing ho appeared with counsel , and Atkinson being in default , Koo appeared and moved a postponement until linnl dis position of his ( Hoe's ) jippeal from tbo re- lusal to reinstate. Hunter's contest motion was overruled aud the case passed for decision. On February ! 2l , 1887 , Dan iel Sullivan Hied tbo relinquishincnt of Atkinson and tiled an application for n homestead Tor the land , subject to the rights of the contestant , Pllro. March a , 1887. the local officers found in favor of Pike and al lowed thirty days' preference right of entry , Sullivan's entry to bo cancelled if Pike should make application to enter. Sullivan appealed and the laud commissioner Decem ber 4,1888 , held that then ) was no ground for awarding "preference right of entry" to Pike unit dismissed his contest and allowed Sulli van's entry to stand Intact , Pike now appeals to the secretary and ho decides that although Uoe , as attorney for Hunter , had expended some money for his client.rot ho bus not suf ficient interest to entitle him to appeal. Itoo , ' lie says , was evidently holding the relinquish- mcntof Atkinson lor speculation. While it was true the contest of Pile was not the cause of Atkinson's roliniiulsluncut , yet it is npparcat tli.it the Jillug of said relinquish- mcut was the result of contest , and at the hearing evidence had been submitted which must have resulted in tbo cancellation of the entry , and the only opportunity Roe had of obtalnin.tr money for relinquishinont was to sell andllloit and procure the can celling of the , entry before It was cancelled on the evidence submitted at tbo hearing , the cancellation thus being the result of .Pike's contest. The Recivtai-y decides that he must have proferenj'o right of ci tiy and Sullivan's entry must bo cancelled , sliould Pike still as sert his rights. Til VXSI'OHTATIOX OP GOODS IX I10XI ) . Senator Culloin's resolution for an investi gation of the transportation of goods in bond through Canadian territory destined to ports ill the United States was not intoadcd by its author , as Senator Wasliburn said be feared was the case , to be the Initiative for nn at tack upon tlio Canadian Paclllc railroad , and ho therefore willingly accepted tlio hitter's ' amendment to Include the Grand Trunk road in the investigation , lint the alleged abuses of the revenue nt which It is aimed bavo their origin largely lu the commerce carried on by the Canadian Paclllo road from tbo I'acillo coast. It Is loosely conducted , Senator Cnllotn says , and ho believes that an Investigation will show it to bo not only Injurious to American lines of railroa.it. but itetrlinoatalto theciistoms reve nues of the country. A. par.igraph of the original resolution which was stricken out by the senate Senator Culloin afterwards had adopted as a separate matter under it. The ( secretary of the treasury is required to state -whether - or not. in his opinion , tlio interests of the United States are being saciillccd nnd those of Canada advanced under the pres ent system of placing United States custom liouso ofllccrs at Canadian posts in order that elevator and other buplness connected with tbo shipment of grain may bo done on foreign soil Instead of In the United States , whcro it is assorted it properly belongs , It is said this practice has grown up without authority of law and that ( f abandoned it woula result in a considerable increase of business at Amer ican ports on the Canadian frontier. INTUKSTATK COMMEIICU M.VTTKH * . Itisiiotprob.iblo Unit any legislation will bo accomplished at this session of congress having for its purposu the amending of the Intei-stato commerce act. Members of the senate committee In charge of all proposltloas affecting tills act are conlining their attention to one of the several schemes suggested by Senator Vest as an outgrowth of the Investi gation by his special committee on the transportation of dressed meat pro ducts. As Introduced , by Senator Vest , It proposed to require railroads to receive from shippers' , palace or improved stock cars in which to transport llvo stock. Tlio committee , it Is said , are not willing to make this requirement ot the railroad coin- panics , thereby compelling them to let their Investments in cars bo idle , but will probably report u substitute forbidding companies who may conclude to recclvo such cars from dis criminating between shippers nnd their ac ceptance of their cars. A MINKIIIL WATHIl IIKI'UESr.XTATIVE. Mr. A. M. Jones , president of the Bethscda mineral water company of AVaukesha , whoso apiicamnco in Washington caused nn unjustl- liable llutter among Illinois politicians hero , is not on n political mission this time. Ills visit is "strictly business , " lleprvsontlng the min eral water interests in the country , Mr. Jones today presented argument * to Messrs. Alli son , Sherman nnd Jones of the senate flnnnco committee in support of his request J that the duty on lmioited | min eral waters Imposed by the McICinley bill bo restored to the bill In the senate. The ilnanco committee put irtincral waters on the free list , but un Incidental protection Is uf- forded by the duty on the bottles. The Mo- Kinloy bill Imposes a duty of 60 cents a dozen on quarts of effervescent mineral waters and -Si cents n dozen on pints. Mr. Jones thinks this is about the right thing In order to protect .American bottlo.1 Hzz , but it is doubtful If ho llmls a majority of the sen ate disposed toAgree with him. It is almost certain that the members of tlio finance committee mitteo will recommend the adoption of the amendment ho seeks. TiiHoimiiXAi , ncK.im : IIII.L. CousldcraUou ot tao original package question was today bcjjifu in t lie house nftor n brief squabble over tlio fnld by which it was brought up anil on Monday next the vote will bo taken. Thcro ntv imv three distinct propositions before the housethoViNon bill , no-culled , being the bill as It passed the senate , the substitute reported from the hi * dlcliiry committee by which all articles which may bo the subject of lnt"rstato commerce uro to be subjected to the same conditions , nnd the Adams amendment , by which an or iginal p.iekago Is dollnctl and nil sales , iinulo bv Importers in any other form declared Illegal. Which of thcAo may bo adopted or whether any of them will he is now very problematical. Changes of conviction are continually going on unit members who iifinv days ago expressed themselves very conII- deiitlallyupon thl subject are now all at sea as to bow tlioy will vote. It has boon a day of surprises. Wlion the rule for tlio consid eration of tlio bill was roiwrted nt the clctk's desk It was generally understood that the contest would develop as ono between the views embodied in the amendment reported from tbe'iudlciiiry coiunlltteo and the substi tute roiwrted by Mr. Adntno , and so strong was this view that Judge Taylor , chairman of the committee , nnd Mr. Adams wore recog nized ns controlling the time during the de bate. It soon bccaino manifest , however , that the committee substitute would have but few friends as being too sweeping in char acter niul partaking too much of a delega tion to the states by congrossof certain of its powers , a thing which that body o.mnot do. The contest , therefore , promises to bo one al most entirely between the Wilson bill aud the Adams proposition. ' Between these tlio divergence Is groat. Tlio former proposes to make stuto regulations uttucli tbo moment the liquor enter * the stuto , and the latter al lows It to como In and bo a subject of one sale in n defined original packageboforolocal law attaches , The debate was opened In a brief speecb by Judge Taylor , who outlined generally the scope of the proposed legislation. lie was followed by Judge C'ulbertson of Texas , who made tbo argument of tlio day. The latter took the ground that both tbo bill of the senate niul that of tlio committee wore vicious In that they transcended the powers conferred on [ congress by the constitution , and would bo so held by the courts for the reason that they gave" tO'tho slates power to enact legislation touching subjects of Inter state commerce , n right \Yhlch subsisted only in congress , and could nut bcs delegated , lie could see no relief f rom the existing situation f ave in another decision by tlio supreme court which should overrule the recent one , or else > lu u constitutional amend ment. The speech was a close legal argument , without nttcmnt at oratorical cilcct , and during its delivery ho was sur rounded by all the ablest lawyers In the house and enjoyed an-attention such as is seldom witnessed in that hall. Mr. Adams followed , anilwhile yielding a concurrence In many points with .ludgo Cul- berson , sought to laid a remedy along the line of tbo decision of thftsuprcmo court by defining and limiting tlio term "original package" so that the decision should not bo made u cloak under which to conduct in de fiance of state enactments a disreputable form of the trafllc as his been attempted in various places. Mr. Heed of Iowa followed in defense of the committee proposition and was subjected to a constant lire of questions on the "point of delegated authority which bothered him not a little. .Tudgo Taylor Sooa came to his res cue , insisting that the proposed legislation was not a delegation of power , but Its exor cise within certain boundaries only. Tliis argument was an extremely technical one and was appreciated culy by the lawyers present. Mr. Morse then toolc ilthiiid nt the puzzle , reading a carefully prcnu&C speech , during which many mcmbcrA retired to the lobby and cloak rooms to rest themselves from tbo close attention tueyjm'il 'been giving. The Massachusetts statosmUh ' elaborated on the evils of intemperance , JflUjC'HCd .outln ti free" criticism of the supreme "courC'and pictured what a well rogulatfa.'jtoinnmnlty , uncuracd by the rum sellers , should-be.-but offered no aid towards solving tbo puzzle. The second speech of the day in its importance ) and the best oratorlcally was that 6f General Hender son of Iowa , who closed the day's discussion. After n tribute to Ills 'stuto and the supreme court ho declared the Hue to bo the recogni tion of the absolute supnwancy of the state in its police power within Its borders and the like supremacy of the nation over Interstn'e ' commerce. The government might , if it saw lit , absolutely prohibit the Importation of any article , and so in liki ) manner it could , without any delegation ot power , allow a state to forbid any importation of liquor by recognizing in an" Interstate commerce pro vision the police regulations of a state. Such was the line of tlio llrst day's ' debate , The interest is not merelytbat of the repre sentative ? from prohibition states or whore local option has considerrlilo sway , but It is shared equally by thev 'representatives ' from states wherein liccnso'liiirs are in force under which there is a considerable revenue to bo derived from sucli licenses. If tlio decision of the supreme court is to stand unaltered thcs'o are threatened with' a deluge of shops selling original packiiges not subject to the license laws , to thu manifest diminu tion ottlio local revenue * , nnd , it Is urged by those who favor the Wilson bill , no oven sub ject to the Sunday laws or those forbidding the sale of liquors to minors or on days of election ; la fact , rendered exempt from all state or local regulation whatever. Party lines uro not drawn and many members on both sides realize that , vote as they may , it is likely to cost them numbers of votes this fall and am under their breath freely anathemat izing the supreme court ( or having involved them in the muddle , thooscapo * from which Is anything but apparent , Miccii.i..f : Knot's . . . , Tlio promotion of llufus P.

The Senate Considers the Sundry Civil Ajtproiiriti Ion Hill and and Stewart. Have a Jjlvoly Spat. WASHINGTON' , July 10. In the house to.lay Mr. Cannon of Illinois , from the committee on rules , submitted a resolution providing that the house shall immediately proceed to con sideration of the original package bill , tlio previous question to ha considered as orJcrod Monday , after the reading of the Journal , and that tbu house shall consider the bankruptcy bill , the previous question to bo considered us ordered Wednesday , after the reading of the Journal. The house decided to consider the resolu tion. tion.After After some debate the resolution was modi fied so us to provide that the appropriation bill .shall not Interfere with tlio consideration of the two bills , aud the resolution was then adopted. Tlio original package bill was then taken up. Mr. E. 13. Taylor said that never bad such a blow been given stato.rlghts as by ascertain ment that under tbo constitution citizens of a foreign state might take Into another state any property that was subject to .and there sell it without liability of taxation or burden ' of taxation. While 'ho preferred the house Bilbstltuto , ho feared Its adoption would en danger tlio legislation , consequently ho advo cated the senate bill. Mr. Culberson of Texas said that If Iowa could prohibit the importation of intoxicating liquors it could exclude tobacco , and it could go further than quarantining the health and morals of its citizens , It could protect its own products against these of other states , It would bo better to amend , tbo constitution than mangle it by these makeshifts , Mr. Adams of Illinois did not believe the remedy for the original package saloon could be found in either of the proposed measures. Ho argued In favor of the substitute , defining nu original paokago of intoxicating liquors In bottles us n case containing not less than a dozen , aud not in bottles , as n cask contain ing not less than live gallons. Mr. Heed of Iowa , whoso decision as n Judge was overruled by the decision of the supivino court , spoke In favoi'of the proposed legislation. Ho could not indulge In the hope expressed by Mr. Adams that on a rehearing ot the question a different result would be ar rived at. Any lawyer who studied tlio dis senting opinions of the court would see that every possible phase of the question had boon discussed thoroughly before the decision was announced. " Ho was informed that n rehearing had been applied for mid denied. If any relief' WAS to bo given the people from wrong and evil to society , growing out of the de'-islon of the supreme court , It lies in the direction pointed out by the pending bills. They delegated no power to a state. They merely exceeded the power delegated to congress to regulate commerce among the tatea. Mr. E. U. Taylor denied that the proposed legislation delegated any power to the states , and opposed Mr. Adams' substitute on the ground that it would turn every local option township and county in tlio United States Into it Hquor-soiHii'g'towiiship aud county by net of congress. Mr. Henderson ot Iowa said that no decis ion rendered by the supreme court slnco. that court had decided that a human soul waa a prop r nrtico of merchandise had BO excited ttio feelings of the country as the original package decision. No good citizen would fail to submit to the decision of the court. Uut ho ( Henderson ) would not sit down with folded hands nnd wait until the supreme court niado some other decision. Wlillo he was willing to recognize the decision as law , ho was unwilling to sit still and submit to the oparatlon of that decision if tlioro was a lawful remedy , and ho believed there was. Let the gentleman not forgot that the supreme remo court in throwing this thunderbolt into the republic did not send with it a cure. It cried out to congress , "While wo.believe this to bo our dutv , wo believe it your uuty to remedy the evil. " Tlio people of the country , without regard te party or politics , people who bended the Imeo and uncovered their heads in the presence of God and their fellow men , ap pealed to congress for its action , and , forouo. bo would not hesitate to act. Pending further debate tbo house took u recess , the evening session to ba for consid eration of private pension bills. Nr.thiiig was done at the evening session , Mr. Jinloo rising to a point of no quorum. Senate. WAsnixnTox , July 18. The senate toilay the resolution offered yesterday by Mr. Alli son making It In order , in consideration of ap propriation bills , to move to limit the dobatu on amendments to five minutes for each sen ator , was presented aud laid on the table , sub ject to call hereafter. Mr. Dawes , from the committee nn Indltu uffalrs , to which was referred tlio president's message vetoing the bill to change the boundaries of the Uneompnhgro Indian reser vation , reported it back without rccommenda lion and nt the same time reporting n now bill for the same purpose. The bill and the message sago were placed on the calendar. Consideration of the sundry civil appro prlatlon 1)111 was resumed and Mr. Hoagai continued his argument , begun yesU'rdny Mr. Heagnn warmly defended Major Powel sind In the course of his remarks said It was because Powell couldn't bo usoJ by spoon lator.s in public lands that war hud been made upon him. This led to n lively spat with Mr. Stewart Mr. Allison said bo desired to pjt himself on record against any appropriation being made in tbo direction of continuing the Irri gation survey. He was llrmly convincoi : that an immediate stop should bo put to thai survey. The results of Its continuance woub bo to involve the government in enormous expenditures and entanglement. After further discussion by Messrs. Plumb Cockrull , Teller and Stewart tno aineiidmen was agreed to. The items of SjT'-'O.OOO for in Irrigation survey , $ .VWJ , ( for engraving maps and 47,500 for ofllco rout In Washington were stricken out and the bill laid aside , Mr. Alii son getting notice that hu would ask the sca- ate to remain la session tomorrow until it was completed.

"This looks until Is paradoxical it remem bered that tne lines ending at the Mis souri river only obtain a share of ; ho tratlio from west of the river bv maintaining low local rates from the river. A general advance hi local rates east of the river would assuredly end in i loss of nearly all through tralllo to the lines ending at the rivor. "There was a very Interesting passage-al arms between the Atclilsou and Hock Island , which shows how irreconcilable niv some of the differences. It is a matter of history that that the Hock Island unloaded its Chic.ijro , Kansas & Nebraska stock and bonds to elites and counties west of tbo river nt a price which is now very unsatisfactory to the holders , and that it Is being sued in nearly every county through which it passes west of the river for a return of tno money paid in exchange for tlio securities. "Tho Koch Island daring the meeting con stantly favored u reduction in rates west of the river. Tlio Atchlson finally read the riot act at the Hock Island , accusing it of w.mt- ing to bear its securities west of tbo river seas as to settle on better torius with iu security holders , aud threatened If the Hock Island reduced 1 cent on anything west , of the river to reduce 3 cents on thu samecomaio - dlly east uf the river.

None of the members have yet aban doned hops of some kind of a compromise based on a division of tr.iftlc , and all efforts ut settlement will bo on some kind of a divi sion basis. Meantime , no regard whatever Is paid to tariff rates or Irufllo from beyond Ibo Missouri. "A tr.iniu manager said today that ho did not believe tariff rates had been secured in a solitary instance by a single line within the lost month.

MILWAUKEE , Wis. , July 18. John Krelger , alias ICrier , an old man of eighty-seven , died at the county hospital about six weeks ago , after having spent several years In tlio county almshoiiso. Some years ago ho was picked up by Fred Netz , who took him to his homo with the intention of providing for him. The kindness opened tlio heart of the aged wan derer , and ho made a will naming Netz as solo heir. Ills possessions scorned Imaginary , although ho Insisted that something would surely turn up as a reward for the hospitality shown him.

It waa then dis covered that Krlor , who pretended to bo a widower , bad a family living in Chicago , and that u relative hud died leaving a fortune of about & 50.000 to ICrior which the family is about to claim. The interesting feature now is as to whether or not thu saloonkeeper Is en titled to the fortune and whether his claims will hold good in the face of the fact that the tcslator , ICrleger , is no heir and could not dls- nose of the inherltence of ICrelcr , though both names apply to one and thu MUIIO person.
