Inridgo. Attcrdeplctliigtho assassination of
Cliiyton ho criticized BrccUlnrlilgo for not re

advantage ho had pained from the murder.
Ho bad not done so , but had stood by these
- . - who had stood by him at the death ,
/f' Mr , Crisp of ( leorda said the wliolo major
ity report was founded upon "suspicion" and
not upon "prooH. " There hudbosn ono bal

bcenr.o change In the prluii faelo case. A

or Clnyton received a majority of the votes
cast nt the recent election.
Mr. Liiicoy oflowarop\'d to Mr. Crisp and
criticised the minority report.
Mr. Outhwnltoof Ohio arcuoa lu support
of the sitting member retaining the seat.
Air. Kelley of ICnnsas spoke in favor of the
majority report , and Mr. Kennedy of Ohio
drew from the details of the Clayton-Brock-
Inridgo case the 0011011151011 that a fodiral
election lnw should bo enacted. lie reflected
severely upon the senators who had been op-
po.st'd to tlio Lodge bill. Tor him
self , confident In the . doctrines of
tbo republican party , fully committed
to tlio principles of that party , ho must for
ever uisient from a cowardly surrender
which 'mills down the flai ; nnd strlltcs the
coitus of 'be republican party to ilofctiVtho
foe. Continuing , ho saiil : "That the elec
tion bill lias been Idllod by republicans or
prqtcnded republicans is true , \Vithout fair
treatment a bill demanded for the preservn-
lion of it ) own honor , nnd for its safety nnd
Btulill.yimd ) ( for the protection of the whole
' . . .untry against outrage and Intimida
tion and violence , is deliberately
put aside without hearing nnd
without opportunity of consideration. When
bcfcro in all past history of legislation has
ono hone of congress deliberately put on
another mark of its doilsioti nnd contempt !
Consideration of this measure was demanded
ijy every sense oC dccuncy und honor. It was
'demanded bv the house or representatives
that its floor might bo purped of these who
are dialled to outer hy reason of violence
and murder. The senate of the United
State ) will leai-n that there is a liar of
puhlio opinion and that at that bar Is is
be'iiirf tried. * * * * * The cloak of
'senatorial courtesy" " hai become a stench in
r .the nostrils nnd a by-word in the mouths of
\U honest eitUens of the laud , it makes a
T Clea.ik behind which ignorant and arrogant
woi5th can purchase its way to power and
then Iiido it ? cowardly hmd behind the
thu'iuless protection of senatorial silence. It
seeini 11 cloak which shall cover up from the
, ga/o of an outraged people-
Pblic which demand investigation
and which merit punishment , of
broken .laws nnd violated statutes.
It means a cloalt behind which petty party
bickerings may barter o\vay the party's
< i-T > rinelplo and play domagoeuo in the face of
the people. It means a cloak behind which
prctondt'd fairness hides its dishonest head
wliilo in secret it is trading and tralllcking in
tlio rights and liberties of the people. It
inijans ndoult under which not only the timid
but the cowardly politician can cover up his
tracks and bo either foul or fair , M necessity
demands. The hour for scnatori.il courtesy
h ns passed. Tlio ox team of senatorial grogress
must give way to the motor of a moro
enlightened and progressive and doteunlncd
age. Let the old aud threadbare cloak of
senatorial court tsy bo hung up with the
sickle nnd flail of bygone davs. " Referring
to the bftrnyul of Christ liy Judas , Mr ,
Kennedy said : "H was meet , and fitting that
Julas should bo paid thirty marks of sliver.
It was still a part of tlio eternal illness of
things that , having been guilty of the basest
crime ot all centuries , he should go out and
hang himself , History 1 $ repenting itself , The
great party of the republic , having lived 1'or
thIrtv-Jlvo years' , never yet assisted riveting

Mutt Quays that Is well worthy of their iinl-

demand an investigation und Inquiry that

" \VASHISOTOX , Sept. ! 5. In the senate today
n written communication from the Oswego
board of trade , contradicting the statement
of the secretary of agriculture on the subject
of tl.o production of barley , was presented by
Mr. Kvnrts , who asked that It bo printed in
the Congressional Hccord. Objection to that
was made , but HOO copies were ordered
printed foi Immediate distribution.
Mr. Call offered a resolution , which wai
referred to tbo committooii foreign resolu
tions , declaring that the murder of General
Dnrnmdla by the authorities of Guatemala ,
while under the protection of the Hag of tbo
iltcd States , was an Insult to the people
o the United States and demanded prompt
action by the government for n redress of
thnt Injury anil for security against a recur
rence of such cases ,
The tariff : bill was taken up , the sugar
schedule being under consideration , and Mr.
ICdmimds addressed the senateou the subject ,
Coming to the question of reciprocity , Mr.
Edmunds recalled the history and practical
operation , injurious to the United States , of
the Canadian reciprocity treaty of ISol. Ho
opposed placing sugar' on the free list ,
nnd as to reciprocity with Central
and South America said the demand
of tlio country lor commodities did
not depend as much on numbers ns on the
state of Its society , its wealth nnd Its civiliza
tion. AVtien ho looked at any Central or
South .American state ho thought ( speaking
with reserve and conservatism ) tint anyone
hundred average people in North America
had , during last year , consumed more of the
products , merchandise , food und clothing that
go to make up the comfort nnd luxury and
happiness of mankind than anyone thous
and nverago people in the Central
or South American states. Tticreforo the
expectation of the United states being able
to dispose of the largo Increase of its pro
ducts there was , In hla opinion , one of the
greatest Illusions that brilliant men or sober
statesmen had lately fallen into. He did not
mean hy this that ho was not willing and
glad to try on a plan of receiving any pro
ducts of thosa countries which the United
States did not produce and giving to them
products which they didn't produce.
Mr. Morgan addressed the senate in sun-
port of the amendment heretofore proposed
us a substitute for Mr. Aldrleh's reciprocity
amendment. It provides fora duty of a per
cent ad valorem on corn , wheat , rye , barley ,
oats , hay , straw , potatoes , cotton , Jive domes
tic animals , and on asses , mules und horses ,
und thnt when any such articles are exported
a premium of 3 per cent bo paid on their
value to the owner.
Air. Yoorhees addressed the senate. Most
of his speech was devoted to a vivid and pic
turesque denunciation of thoMoKlnlcyblllas
the Antichrist of all preceding legislation.
Mr. Kvnrts spoke of the various reciprocity
amendments and criticised them as being ob-
Jcctlonablo under tbo "favored nation"
clause of international treaties. Ho con
cluded by saying : "Alako your tariff as you
think right. Let others make theirs as they
think richt and when you roach , as England
has reached , a position that you can devour
tbo subntanco of other nations better by free
trade than you can preserve your own sub
stance by protection , then cliangoyour laws. "
Mr. Gray complimented Mr. llnlo on bis
amendment , which meant nothing less than
absolute free trade throughout the western
hemisphere.
Mr. Halo corrected the statement as to
Canada nnd said he never bad any intention
of Including that country.
Kecess.
There was but a small attendance at the
evening session , \vhleh was occupied by .Mr.
Pierce in'a speech advocatiiig reciprocity.

He is Interviewed on 13ilimnuls' Meat
Inspection Kill.
Br.Ki.ix , Sept. . 3. Phelps , United States
minister , was interviewed today regarding
Senator Edmunds' meat inspection bill. Ho
sula : "Public opinion in Germany Is doing
the work for us as rapidly as wo could
expect , Different German interests
nro bombarding Chancellor von Caprivl
to hotly that we can afford to wait a little.
Our latest news is the startling appeal tlio
municipal authorities of Berlin have Just ad
dressed to the chancellor. From April , IbSi ) ,
to April , IS'JO , the city of Berlin made a gain
in population of 00,000. According to a nor
mal rate of consumption this increase in pop
ulation should cause an increase of 20,000 In
the importation of swine , but instead of that
imports have decreased by 25,000 , a loss to
Berlin consumption of$4.riooO a year. Wal
ters hnvo not Improved since. The chancellor
has wlthdrawu the edict excluding -Austrian
pigs , and now only liussia anil America suf
fer from this unjust restriction. I expect
that the prohibition against Russian swine
will soon bo removed auu then our turn will
come. In the meantime I am not a bit dis
couraged.
The Single Tax Convention.
Nnvr YOIIK , Sept. a-At the single tax con
vention today Henry George i-ead the plat
form. Its main points are that all men were
createdullko witlicertain inalienable rights ;
declared that no ono should bo permitted to
hold property without a fair return ; there
should ho no tax on the products of labor ,
and all revenue for national , state und mu
nicipal purposes should be raised by n single
tax upon laud values , irrespective of im
provements ,
The last clause of the platform excited n
long discussion. It proposed that the tele
graph , railroad , water and gas supplies of the
country should bo under the control and
manipulated by local , stat or national gov
ernments , as expediency might demand.
Several proposals were made , but finally
withdrawn , and the platform was adopted as
read by George.

IIt8Tiso , Neb. , Sept. . [ Special Tcln-
gramto Titn BEE. ] The great attraction of
the Adams county fair hero today was the
debate between llnrlnn and McICclghan.
Promptly at 2 o'clock the rivals-took seats on
the platform In the front of the amphitheater
amid cheers from tli9 3,000 persons present.
Mr. McICelghnn began the debate by readIng -
Ing what ho called Nebraska's declaration of
independence. The republican party had
mndo no schedule of freight rates during
its reign , ho said , nnd ho challenged Harlnn
to disprove the declaration. Ho Impeached
the conduct of the republican party
on the silver question nnd accused
Ilarlan of knifing Vim Wyclc nnd produced
a state record on the question. Ho next
treated of the MeKlnloy bill , which ho de
nounced as a trust document and read an ex
tract from a furniture magazine to show that
this bill would paralyze that Industry. Blalno ,
Paddock and Mamlcrson protest against this
bill ho would not vote for a bill like the Mc-
Klnley bill and ho wanted to know If Harlnn
would obey his constituency or the party
whip. Ho declared that the tariff was a tax
and said that the time had como when the
people of Nebraska could no longer llvo on
money brought from the east by real estate
loans. Having spoken tot fitly minutes ho
sat down amid frantic applause from the
democratic part of the audience.
j\lr. Ilnrlan said thnt ho was glad to bo able
to speak to an audience containing so many of
iho wives and mothers , of the country. Ho
began his political career in'lSa" > , when ho
was elected to the legislature. He was n re
publican : McKeighan had his record down
line , but some people flnd it advantageous at
times to lead others away from their own
record. McKeighan says he Is no democrat ,
but they don't seem to bollovo It. Harlnn had
worked"for a maximum rate law , which ho
carried through. Ho said ho went to the
legislature as a friend of Van Wyclc and
fortified Ids position by reading a letter from
Van Wyclc vindicating him ] from nil sus
picion of treachery. This letter was
received with applause. Then he
spoke on the silver question. Itwns arepub-
lican supreme court that restored greenbacks
to a legal tender. Blalno Introduced a bill
providing for the unliinltcd"v hiuge of silver ,
while Cleveland , in a letter1 which he read ,
argues for a reduction of silver curreucy.
lie didn't know what ticket McKcigmm
would vote , as ho was on two. Ho said that
ho was In favor of unlimited coinage of sil
ver. Ho did not deny that there were hard
times , but said that the caus > c was too many
middlemen. Ho then spoke for some
time on the railroad phase Of the discussion.
McKeighan had said that wtjcn he caino to
Nebraska rates were -10 cents a hundred from
the Missouri river to Chicago ; they nro now
17 cents. Ho know thatrailroads could make
a Now York nnd an Omaha and they could
draw corn from the country to the center.
Calico costs 4 or 3 cents a.yard and the tariff
on it is the same ns the cost. ; If the tariff is
a tax , where docs it comoT' The eamo. about
railroad iron and shingle nails. , If ho went
\Vashlngton \ ho would votfl-wlth the re
publicans uealnst the democrats , nnd go into
caucuses with them , although that did not
imply that ho would vote that way. The
democratic hollers were the ones that killed
the silver bill.
Time was called and he yielded to Mr. Mc-
Kciglnm fora ten minutes' reply , after which
Harlnn took his turn.
McKcighnn closed the , debate with a flvo-
iniuute rebuttal nnd the debate was over.
The audience dispersed after yells , cheers
and tigers. Although it is doubtful whether
the debate changed many votes , It at least
gave those present a chance to hear the next
congressman and see the handsomest man in
Nebraska save one , ns McKeighuu said.

city of Chicago against City Treasurer Roo-
siug and several banks for an accounting of
the interest on the city's money placed in the

wishes to scttlo definitely. For years It has
been the custom of the city treasurer to deposit -
posit the city funds In banks and to retain
the interest thereon as n personal
perquisite. This made the office a very de
sirable one , as the interest has for n dozen
years past amounted to between $ oO,000 and
? T5,000 per year. The bill lllcd today charges

Special to Tin : Bnn.1 The European edi
tion publishes the following from the Herald's
Berlin correspondent : Luuterburg in llnr/
is but three hours by rail from Berlin. At
Lnuterburg , Wlssnmn , the great Herman
East African , is recruiting his health , which
has been shattered by exposure In African
swamps. Wlssinan lives In a pretty cottage
belonging to his mother. The Imperial com
missioner received mo in allttlo sitting room
adjoining hli study , which seemed , through
the open door , to bo a wilderness of papers.
On a round table was Baron do Mnrlortlo's
latest work , ' "Twlxt the Old Tlmo and the
New. " Hand painted on a little Christmas
card In a frame was a dovlco that might have
been the motto of the host , "Aufwarts uud
vorwarts. "
Wlssman was dressing In a closely fitting
dark tweed morning suit. His care has done
him good , ns his complexion is n healthy
brown. His sharp , dark eyes nro full of In
telligence and his little black moustache ,
twisted up at the onus , reveals the soldier
figure , which shows great elasticity and
strength , "I shall return to Africa , " said the
major , "In October or November , t shall
take several officers with mo who are hero on
leaves of absence , together with some others" " ,
who will try their luck In the colonies. The
climate there Is trying , of course , but not so
much so as some believe. I , myself , have
had ten years' experience of it , and during
thnt time have made three short visits to
Europe.
"A little care Is necessary , of course.
Moderation In eating and drinking , but a
moderate amount of stimulants I consider Im
peratively necessary. I am hard at work
now at my now book on Africa my third. It
will bo published In September by Messrs.
Troviteit of Frankfort on the Oder , my na
tive city , nnd Is to bo entitled "Moino Zweito
Durch Qucriing Africa.1' It will not Include
my recent African experience , which will
appear in a work by itself at some future time
ami will probably bo entitled "Die Beruhlgung
der Ostkueste. " Of course to us Uorinan-
Enclish , the last African agreement came to
us in the mituro of a surprise. Wo had hoped
for Uganda and Evaditai , but all that was
practically determined on and settled a year
ago , when I received orders not to push out
posts in that direction or interfere in any way
with the English.
The Herald is quite right in what it says
r.bout railways bcingtho best mcansof civiliz
ing Africa. A little railway fifty kilometres
long is to bo built at once , which will connect
Bagomayo with Dar os Salnam , the harbor of
peace , or as most people call It , Hnndara es
Salaam. Buganinrs is now quite a city with
.between twenty nnd thirty thousand inhabi
tants. A cable will bo laid to connect Zanzi
bar , Bagamayo nud Dar osSalnatn , nnd tele
graph wires'will connect Saadaai , Pargari
and Tonga later on.
"I moan to build a railway from Tonga to
Usambara. Civilization must ho achieved by
commerce , principally. My mission in east
Africa was not purely a military one , hut in
cluded the ranging under our flag of all
friendly or undecided native1' . The negro
can bo civilized by slow work , but the ban
tam negro south of the equator laeks charac
ter , and not even Mahommod.mlsm bus ob
tained any hold on him. Negroes' the mis
sion show' tbo result of good training , but lot ,
them got away to their native wilds and they
soon relapjo into their native barbarism
but in course of centuries this may change. "
