House.
WASHINGTON , August 15 , After an unsuc
cessful effort WIH made to secure the passage
of the senate bill granting leaves of absence
to per diem eniployes In tlio customs service ,
the house procualed to the consideration of
Mho conference report on the Indian appropri
ation bill.
Mr. Cannon of Illinois criticised the report
as being ( ho most extraordinary ouo which
Imd ever been submitted during his cx-
pericnco in the house. The senate had
agreed to amendments aggregating $1,200,000.
Tlio house had non-concurred in tlioso
amendments. Then this strange thing hap
pened : The conference report carried the
full amount of the bill as It passed the house
with the full amount of the senate amend
ments and § 1',000 more. The bill created a
number of new oftlees and Increased a num
ber of salaries.
A f tor considerable debate , in which Mr.
Springer moved to recommit the bill to the
committee on Indian affairs , the conference
report was agreed to.
The house then resumed consideration of
the Nat McKuy bill , the Question being on Its
reference to the committee on claims. This
was rejected.
Pending farther consideration of the Mc
Kay bill Mr. Cannon , by unanimous consent ,
called up the senate Joint resolution provid
ing Unit the unexpended balance of the ap
propriations for the aid of the Mississippi
Hood sufferers be used to aid destitute per
sons in Oklahoma. The amendment provided
that the money shall bo disbursed under the
direction of the secretary of war. The Joint
resolution was passed.
A vote was then taken on the passage of
the McKinley bill nnd resulted yeas , 77 ;
duys , 50 no quorum.
A call of the house was ordered , but failed
to develop a quorum.
Mr. Thomas of Wisconsin offered a resolu
tion directing the sorgeant-at-arms to arrest
the absent memners.
Mr. linker of Now York created some llttlo
excitement by offering a substitute therefor ,
the resolullon'recltlng an editorial appearing
in the Now York Sun of this morning upon
the declaration of Roger Q. Mills of Texas
Unit "this ( Washington ; is uo place , fora
campaign is on , " otc.
Scarcely had the clerk begun to road the
preamble when ho was interrupted by pro
tests from both shies of the houso.
Mr. Hnker declined to accept the speaker's
suggestion t hat ho withdraw the resolution ,
but ho ilmillv withdrew the preamble.
In spite of the protests the resolution was
read. It revokes all leaves of absence ' - except
cept those granted for illness or to Kogcr ( J.
Mills and others employed like hlmju mi
unoducatlonal company , "
The speaker , disregarding entirely Mr.
Baker's resolution , put the question on Mr.
Thomas' resolution , and dilatory tactics wore
resorted to until 5 o'clock , when the house
took a recess.
At the evening session 130 private pension

Herman Schnfcr keeps a saloon on South
Thirteenth street , and ho conceived the
idea that n talking parrot would bo
a line drawing curd ana afford his
patrons a great deal of amusement.
Accordingly ho interviewed a local dealer
in birds , etc. , and was Informed by that gen
tleman that ho had just the kind of a bird
Mr. Schntcr wanted. It was a young bird
and hud not yet learned the nrt of talking ,
but the dealer would guarantee that inside of
ten days the bird would bo a llucnt conver
sationalist in several language ) ,
After considerable talk over the matter Mr.
SchafiT paid ? 30 in cash and gave the dealer
8.'u..rU in collateral and became the happy pos
sessor of a beautiful younir parrot , warranted
to talk in ten days , etc. Visions of wealth to
bo acquired fvoin the many people who would
visit his pitico to hear his extraordinary bird
talk to them In their native language floated *
before Mr. Schafcr's oven.
Poll was hung in a gilded cao in n position

nnd have every opportunity in the world to
ucn.uiro a classical education. Day after day
passed by , but I'oll did not manifest any dis
position to talk. Instead , he maintained a
dogged silence. This exasperated the worth v
proprietor , but ho waiteil a llttlo longer until
patience ceased to bo n virtue. After
ten days hail elapsed * Mr. Sclmfor
carried the bird back to the dealer
nnd turned It over to him with a demand for
his money. The bird was put back into his
old cage , but the tnoaev was not forthcom
ing. Again Mr. Schafor waited , but with no
result. Then ho commenced suit against the
bird dealer nnd demanded the return of his
money. Justice Holmes wrestled with the
case , but withheld his decision.

Ti'i-rlhlo Ditulilc Tragedy.
NOIITII I'j.mi : , Neb , , August 15. [ .Special
Telegram to Tin : 13ii : : . ] Last evening Fred
Newman shot and killed his wife and then
suicided with the same weapon.
The residents of the north side were star
tled about il o'clock by a little child at New
man's house screaming that her mother
needed help , followed by two shots ,
The marshal was hastily called and found
the doors locked. After looking through the
window and seeing two bodies on the bad ho
broke open the door and entered , where u
horrible sight met his eyes.
Lying on the bed , with her head hanging
partly olT , was Mrs. Newman , with a Indict
hole Just back of the car and blood running in
pools across the floor. On the same bed
lay her husband with a revolver In his Imnd ,
Ho was shot In about the same place , Ho
had apparently shot himself while sitting on
the bed and fallen back on the pillow.
Newman wasayoung man about twenty-two
or twoaty-lhrce years of age. Mrs. Nmvman
was about thirty-live years oldnml canm
hero from Texas with a daughter ROVOII years
old some time last summer. She win mar
ried to Newman in November last. Tbu ,
couple were out at the 'cometi'ry in tlio iiltor-
noon nnd Newman nmdo some remark ni
to how ho would llko to llo la one ot the
graves , Indicating ft gr.ivo that the sexton
was digging. Jealousy is supposed to ho tlio
cause of New man's art , as ho suspected his
wife of associating with other men. It H
thought that his mind has bitm unbalanced ,
as ho attempted to poison himself a year ago.
Newman was employed at night in the round
bouse.
