lo. i
The conference report on the tariff bill
was presented and road at length.
iAt. Aldrich said the conference report and
tbo bill , as modified by it , were printed , nnd
ho did not deem any further explanation of
its provisions necessary. Ho hoped the sen
ate would bo nblo to reach n vote on the re
port early this nltcnioon.
Mr. Morgan said the tariff bill as manipu
lated by the republican conferees of both
houses had many now features which neither
the house nor the scuato had voted upon , hut
It was Impossible ) to co Into * a discussion of
the changes. All that could bo dona was to
discuss inn general way the principles on
which the measure was founded , la the
course of his speech Mr. Morgan spoke of
Blulno as a now Cobdcn and of tlio president
ns a resurrected John Bright. Tlio amend
ment offered by Mr. Halo to carry out the
reciprocity ideas of the president nnd Mr.
Blame had been voted for by every demo
cratic senator and votcil ngulnst by every
republican. That amendment had been in
every substantial seiiso an amend
ment to Dlalne , but the amend-
jneiit.siibscquently reported from the llnanco
committee had been intended to supplant
and overllo it. The latter wns a vaccination
Riven to the body of the bill in order to fore
stall the faint virtues of frco trade which
Blnlno had intended. It was said that any
Amorlcui , statesman should so undervalue
the common scnso of Americans as to pretend
ho was in principle n protectionist while ho
was openly advocating frco trade with every
nation that would admit American products
free of duty. Ho said tbo reciprocity clause
xvaj unconstitutional.
Mr. bhcrnmn defended the section , the
principle of which had been recognized in
other statutes mid supported by the courts ,
\vhllo Icssrs. Carlisle und Morgan argued
J ngalnst It.
Mr. lorgaji having referred to Mr , Sher
man's recent letter to ErastusVyman , Mr.
Sherman suld the statements therein were
conslstirt with the position ho always held
that it was by mutual legislation and not by
treaties that reciprocity measures could bo
carried ut.
At the close of Mr , Morgan's speech Mr.
Dietrich called for a vote on the conference
report.
This wns opposed by Mr. Cockrcll. who
said that Mr. Carlisle desired to speak , but
was somewhat Indisposed today.
Mr. Aldrich ashed unanimous consent to
have a vote at 4 o'clock tomorrow , but .Mr.
Cockroll objected.
Mr. Sherman addressed the senate In a
general defense ot the prlnclploof protection.
801110 of the provisions of the bill wore too
liigh , some too low , hut ho admitted the im-
posibillty of framing a measure to suit every
interest. lie believed the law to bo a beacon
of prosperity to the whole country , As to
the reciprocity feature , there was nothing
new In the idea of reciprocity. As to sugar ,
lie would have given the ixjoplo free sugar up
to No. ' . ' 0 , Dutch standard , In tbo belief that
eonio of the higher grades would enter into
consumption without having passed through
the rcllnorics , As to hinder twlno , ho had
felt that Its manufacturers had probably
taken nilvantago of the opportunity and
demanded grossly unreasonable prices , but
these had only douo as other human beings
did. even the farmers taking advantage of
high niarUct prices. In conclusion 3Ir , Sher
man expressed the hope that manufacturers
would avoid tlioso trusts that cave popular
Jllsecntcut nnd would invlto fair competition
niid give the people the benefits thereof and
of cheaper production. If they did uot do to
lie would ho as ready to vote for the repeal of
the bill as ho ivas now to vote for it.
Mr. Paddock addressed the senato. Ho
must vote agajnst the conference report. Ho
would not consider this great economic prob
lem as cue entirely political in its nature , af-
fcctlng as it did ititerejta most vital to his
Immediate constituency and the entire west.
Ho sbould not attempt to state In detail his
objections to the rwport , but should draw
particular Attention to the action
of the commlttco on the sugar
icucdulo and Its relation to other protected
Interests in the bill. Ho entices the treat
ment given the beet sugar interest and said
It was not pleasant to contemplate nor did It
particularly include u senator from u state
where a strong and uiostmomlMag commence
ment had been made in the adopincntof
such Industry to vote for the report. Ho
sincerely hoped that the rcjxirt would not bo
adopted and a new conference bo ordered.

A Determined ISlYort to Get .Magistrate
Hlmmioii Out of the Case.
Duni.ix , Sept 29. [ Special Cablegram to
TiiuUni : . ] The eyes of all nationalists con
tinue to be fastened on the court nt Tipper-
ary , where Messrs. "Dillon , O'Brien and their
follow prisoners nro undergoing trial on the
charge of conspiring to prevent the payment
of rent to Mr. Smith Harry , landlord of Tip-
perary. The peremptory refusal of the court
on Saturday to receive the affidavit of the de
fendants objecting to Magistrate Shannon's
sitting in the caso. on the ground that ho
would bo biased , was considered by the na
tionalists as a further indication that a fair
hearing could bo hardly expected before the
court as at present constituted. Theythlnk
that the affidavit wns entitled to respectful
consideration instead of being de
nounced by the crown prosecutor as
nn "Infamous lioel" on Shannon , and
by the latter as "an attempt to make a scan
dal of Justice. " The defendants assert that
Lhey acted In entire good faith in presenting
tlio affidavit , and held that they were entirely
within their right in protesting against being
tried before a magistrate whoso fairness and
Impartiality they had abundant reason to
doubt. The defendants and their friends
were in consultation yesterday ia regard to
the composition of the court. All grounds of
objection to iVmcistrato Shannon were again
discussed , and the opinion was reached that
his sitting in the coso was too serious a mat
ter to be tolerated , if It could possibly bo pre
vented. It was decided , therefore , to make
one moro effort to get Shannon out of the
cuso and a plan of procedure was formulated.
At the resumption of the trial this rooming
Timothy Healy arose and addressed tbo court
on behalf of the defendants. Ho referred to
the refusal of the magistrates to consider
the propriety of Shannon's withdraw
ing from the case , and announced that
in view of this , tbo defendants
felt themselves constrained to refer the ques
tion to the high court of Justice nt Dublin.
The defendants , ho said , would apply tomor
row fora writ to x > rohlblt the present magis
trates from proceeding with tbo conspiracy
cases on the ground of bios against the de
fendants. The council for the crown , ho said ,
ought now to decide as to the wisdom nnd
propriety of polng on with the hearing pend
ing this application to the high court.
When Healey resumed his seat Bonan.
crown prosecutor , nroso and said ho could
not consent to a suspension of the hearing
pending the prooosed application by the de-
fcuso to the hlgfi court. Thereupon the In
troduction of testimony for the prosecution
was begun and the rest of the day was taktn
up with the reading of the speeches made by
the defendants on several occasions.

A Complimentary Dinner Tendered
the Well Known Irish Lawyer.
CHICAGO , Sept. 29. At the Palmer house
tonight a complimentary dinner was given to
\V , J. Hynes , the well known Chicago law
yer , who has been for a long tlmo taking a
conspicuous part In the Irish affairs in this
country and who has Just returned from a
visit to Ireland. The dinner was given by M.
E. Stone , W. 1C , Sullivan , John H. Walsh ,
Judges Pendergast and Mocan and a number
of other friends of Mr. Tlyncs , over ono hua-
drcd m all. In the course of his after dinner
speech Mr. Hynes gave n review of his ob
servations in Ireland and said ho met no man
of "national sentiments" In Ireland who had
not implicit faith in 1'arncll and confidence
in the ultimate success of the movement to
secure homo rule. Hyues said that up
to the advcut of 1'arncll's movement
lie believed In the efllcacy of "organized
force , honorably employed1 , for the attain
ment of Ireland's autonomy , but siuco the
inauguration of Parnell's iiolicy that had had
his undivided support. No one , ho said , who
had made a personal visit to Ireland aiid seen
the condition of the people could regard the
absentee landlord as anything but a bird of
proy. Sneaking of the fallnre of the potato
crop he said that from personal observation
ho knew there wns no exaggeration In the re
ports , nnd that absolute starvation followed
the failure of this crop. In conclusion Hynes
spoke of the uniform courtesy and considera
tion with which ho had been received by
members of parliament and these prominent
in the Irish cause.

Br-ATiiicn , Neb. , Sept. 20. [ Special Tele
gram to THE BKI : . ] Never has a larger
audience assembled in the spacious Paddock
opera house than that gathered there tonight
to listen to the address of Hon. John L. "Web
ster of Omaha on the subject that prohibition
should not prevail in Nebraska. The nudl-
enco was thoroughly representative of the
morality , wealth and cntcrprlso of Ilcatrlce ,
nmong which were u great many ladles ,
members of the flrst families of the
city. On the stage were gathered a
largo number of the foremost citizens of
Beatrice of both the republican nnd demo
cratic faith ; ? . At the rear of the stage was
suspended a largo banner , on which was in
scribed In largo letters , "For high license ,
strict enforcement of law , regulation and
control , Sunday nnd election day closing1 , pro
tection to values of property and- continued
prosperity , against frco whisky , cvcry-day
joints and dives , destruction of property val
ues , stagnation of business and increase of
taxation. "
Hon. H. S. Bibb , democrat , of this city
was niado chairman of the meeting ,
and introduced Mr. Webster with a
brief and eloquent speech , As Mr. Webster
stepped forward ho was greeted with enthu
siastic npplauso. Ho nt once branched out
into an eloquent dissertation upon the falla
cies and absurdities of prohibition doctrines
as expounded by the apostles of that faith.
Ho showed conclusively that as a redeeming
quality prohibition had proven n miserable
failure In New England , Iowa nnd Kansas.
His comparison of the prosperity of Ne
braska with the decay nnd business stagna
tion in the prohibition states cost and west
was repeatedly applauded. With these ex
amples before us , to vote for prohibition was
n sin , and to make it n constitutional enact
ment would bo a crime. His arguments were
hacked up with irrefutable statistics , nnd on
the whole his address was well received and
will hnvo n very beneficial effect upon the
cause of anti-prohibition in this section of the
state. A number of people were present from
ITalrbury , Pawnee City and other adjacent
towns.
In the afternoon Colonels Elbcclr and Ells

L. Metz.

Resolved , That the candidates of repre
sentatives pledge themselves not to accept
any railroad passes from the railroads this
winter.
Congressman Conncll was present nnd was
enthusiastically called on for a speech. Ho
spoke In part as follows :
"Mr. Chairman and fellow-citizens : I take
pleasure in being with you today. I know
only in part what work you have done today ,
but I know that the work of a republican
convention must bo peed work. Some today
nro no doubt disappointed , but wo have
learned that \vc must acquiesce in the will of
the majority. This is a principle that the
democrats cannot fully appreciate , but ,
thauks to Tom Heed uid a little common
sense , they have found it out.
They have been taught that the
majority In congress has some rights
that the minority report is bound to respect.
The gallant speaker has been sustained by
the house and by the people. When the
democrats baa the house two years ago they
did nothing , and they were determined that
the present house should emulate their ox-
ample. In this they were out-generaled. The
peopto iiernamieu some roller iroin congress
and they got it. There Is no reason for the
farmers to leave the republican ranks and go
Into the alliance. They asked relief from
trusts , nnd congress has given n law abolish
ing trusts and maklngunlawfulnny combina
tion organized for the purpose of affecting
the price of any product ; they demanded pro
tection for their meat and land products , and
wo have the pure food bill which will ho a
law before adjournment , also the meat in
spection law ; they asked for relief in the
money market , and the sllvor bill was
passed. "
Ho reviewed the work of congress and
showed that tbo republican party had re
deemed Its promises while the dem
ocrats had proven themselves insin
cere in everything. Ho also reviewed
the tariff and the position of the parties
thereon , nnd concluded by saying that "they
say the old ship Is leaking and cannot weather
the storm , but she weathered the storm In
the days of 1800 to ' 05 and she lias douo it all
the years since , nnd she surmounts the bil
lows that now seem abreast of nor ns easily
as she has done In the past. As between the
parties today it should take no man long to
choose. The issue before us is protection to
American industries as against free trade ,
and I stand ready and willing to meet on
any stump the tariff giant of the opposition
ami discuss with ttiem these Issues.1'
The convention adjourned with three as
suring cheers for the county , state and con
gressional tickets.

He Is Convicted of Murder In the First
Degree.
WOODSTOCK , Ont. , Sept. 20. At the re
sumption of the Bin-hall murder tnni this
morning some evidence was taken prelim
inary to the speaking. Samuel Mester , tele
graph messenger nt Niagara Falls , proved
the delivery to Clerk O'Neill at the Imperial
hotel of a telegram 'purporting to bo from
Benwell to Blrchnll , O'Neill ' was supposed
to deliver the mcssago toBIrchall.
James Costln , a farmer , testified ho saw
the body of Bcnwoll when found. Ho came
to the conclusion that the body had not been
out In the storm of'two nights , ns the shirt
front was white and clean as though no rain
or snow had fallen ou , it. Blackstook put in
evidence the register of the Metropolitan
hotel , Now York , showing the names "J. K.
Blrchall and wlfu , " "T. TougUT' and "H.
Hiloy , " and all registered In the handwriting
of the prisoner. The wns all the evidence
for the defence nnd the addresses of the
counsel were at once entered upon. During
his counsel's address the prisoner listened
calmlv to nil that was said.
Blaekstock , for tlto defense , spoke five
hours. Ho reflected on the alleged reckless
mcttiods of the prosecution and the appar
ently careless manner in which the witnesses
for the crown seemed ready to swear away
a man's life , his summing up of the evidence
bearing upon Birchall's identity. Discussing
the moral character of his client , he said ho
must admit his utter inanllity to point out an
explanation of the course observed by Birch-
nil which would bo pjonslstant with Ills inno
cence of dishonest purposes. The explana
tion of Birchall's , statement to Pel-
ley and Benwell inducing them to
coino out thero. which Blaekstock
could offer was that Blrchnll expected to
receive through them money tocnnhlo him to
go Into business and make good his promise.
Ho denounced the mariner of conducting the
Identification of the prisoner ns disgraceful ,
and appealed to the jury to think only of the
evidence before them. " in making up their
minds. The time \vould come when the mys
tery surrounding thls'crlmo would bo cleared
away. Ho closed with a touching reference
to the devotion of Mrs. .Blrchall.
Osier closed tbo case for the crown. Ho
reviewed the story in detail and analyzed
Birchall's negotiation's \vlth Benwell into ono
fact a plan to entrap young Benwell tp Can
ada on representations that ho know would
bo shown to bo false the ( moment ho arrived
in Canada. The motive was to secure T > 00.
Ho detailed Birchall'sJeallngs with Pelloy
nnd said the outcome of this fraud and de
ception could ho but ino thing and that was
Blenheim's swamp. , ' 'Look ' at It nil ns you
read the corrcspcactenccj read between the
lines and you will see there Just the simple
awful word 'murJor. ' "
The jury retired nt 9:30 tonight.
At 11 : 0 the Jurv returned with a verdict
of murder in the first degree.
TUB HOX-V.IK TIIAGEDY.
There la Now Mttlc Doubt That the
Men Were Murdered.
Wye. , Sept. 20. [ Special Tele
gram to Tun BEE. ] Thcro docs not now
appear to bo any loophole of escape from the
conclusion that the two young St. Joe men ,
found In a box-car hero n few days ago , one
dead and the other dying , were brutally
murdered. A telegram from St. .Too is to the
effect that the young men left there with
about $110. In addition Emerson carried nn
open-faced silver watch. All of this money ,
with the exception of-2o cents and the watch ,
was missing when the bodies reached hero.
According to the St , Joe information , the
young men were to have been Joined at Grand
Island by n third party , who was to accom
pany them upon their journey. This Indivi
dual was not found when the train left here ,
but whether or not ho started with them
from Grand Island Is not known. The cor
oner's jury is still pursuing the Investiga
tion , which will probaoly bo concluded to
morrow. Everybody Is now convinced that
the men were murdered.
After Western Itoadn Again.
CniCADo , Sept. 20 , The interstate com
nicrco commission Is after the western roads
again , this tlmo to regulate lumber rates.
Some tlmo ago the board of trade of Eau
Claire , WIs. , petitioned the commission to
compel the St. Paul road to reduce lumber
rates to Missouri river points , complaining
that they nro compelled to pay unreasonable
rates compared with these from , other north
western points. The St. Paul made answer
mat inmocr rates were uut , recently au-
vancod and to now lower them nt any point
would result in a general collapse. Acting
on this the commission has served notlco on
several western roads , ordering thorn to
make answer in twenty days why rates
should not bo reduced from Eau Clairo.

Acting Commissioner of Indian Affairs
Bell which explains the cnuso of the do-

WILL- WITHHOLD THE COKKKSPOXDEXCE.
The president lias decided not to send to
congress the correspondence with Minister
Mlzncr of Central America In reference to
the BaiTumliu caso. The matter was nil pre
pared for him at the state department and
sent to him at the white house t\vo or three
days ago. Ho has read the documents carefully -
fully aiidthlnlH that no good could ho ac
complished by their publication.
Aiit'sn OF THU uiinvDT.
On February 2f last an act was approved
empowering the president to confer brevet
rank on officers of the army now on the active -
ivo or retired list who have been or may bo
distinguished for gallant services in action
since January 1 , 1SUT. Stnco this act went
into effect n swarm of social and political
soldiers have bcsciged the department in
efforts lo secure the brevet commissions.
'Speaking of the matter today General
Cutcheon , chairman of the house committee
on military affairs said : "Tho way In which
this business has been managed is little short
of outrageous , From , beginning to end there
was clear deception on the military commit
tee of tho. house , and if I had known thnfthc
purpose was to commission a lot of fav.qfltcs
to swell brevet ranks to enormous proportions
I never } ? puld have Introduced the bill and
would uptMinvo urged its passage. When ib
catno before the committee the very innocent
statement was made that no inoro than I'M
ofUccrs would he effected by the moasure.and .
the special clulm was iirged that it was only
intended to hurry forward the breveting of
oQlcers who had long ago earned promotions
and wore being delayed by the circumlocu
tion of offlce. In order to do , as we thought ,
n , plain net of Justice , wo passed
this bill , but now I find that the purpose is to
swell the brevet runks to a ridiculous extent
and drag in n lot of officers who were not
then suggested as entitled In any way to
promotion. Our Intention was to give a
meritorious reward to a few well known
heroes of the Modoc , Apache , Ute and other
conspicuous Indian wars , but instead of that
the officials have ransacked the records and
have taken many ofllccrs in no way con
spicuous in' order to confer a title upon them.
"Wo will have an army of generals as well
ns n country of colonels at this rate.
Wo will have as many generals in
the armv ns privates. In the hill that 1 in-
trodriccu the language waft that 'ofllcars
should bo breveted who had been iccom-
mcnded for gallant service , ' but in some way
the people who were pushing the bill got the
wording changed so that It authorised the
breveting of oftlccrs 'who have been or may
have been recommended for gallant service.1
It is under this dracr-not provision that n good
part of the army is likely to bo given titles. "
From another source it is learned that when
the plan for wholesale breveting reached
the ears of President Harrison ho gave It a
pramptveto. General Schollcld , It is said ,
has furnished two separate lists of oflleers
entitled to brevet rank , according to his
judgment. But in each ease the lists have
got buck to the war department without the
president's approval , for it was qulto evident
that they contained n great number who may
have been somewhat deserving of reward ,
but who in no way deserved to enjoy the pro
visions of this act.
General Schofleld was called on this after
noon and asked what ho was doing in the
matter. "It has been n huge work , " ho said.
"I set a force of clerks to work in the auju-
tint general's oflico examining all the records
for.tho last twenty-three years. They re
ported 150 names , 1 think , of the olllcers de
serving rank and I transmitted them to the
secretary of war , but the presi
dent has not acted upon them , and there is
no likelihood of getting them through at this
session of congress. My examination was
based on strict impartiality nnd with a desire
of giving every oftlcer In the service a chance
to secure the brevet ranic lie was entitled to ,
Possibly this will swell the brevet service
enormously , hut that is not my fault. All I
have to do is to carry out the exact provis
ions oi' the law. "
r.MlIIOCK AND THE TARIFF.
Senntor Paddock at 5 o'clock this afternoon
fulfilled his pledge made to.lho conference of
western senators , nnd through them to the
tariff conference committee , that if any duty
was imposed upon binding twine ho ,
with nine others , would vote
against the adoption of the conference
report. For the past three days enormous
pressure has been brought to boar upon all
the senators from the north west nml the party
lash has been cracked over the heads of each ,
nnd all the senators from New England , Now
York nnd Pennsylvania have been particu
larly vigorous in their denunciation of any
show of independence upon the part of any
of the western senators , wno have been in
formed by thorn that failure of unity of action
in their party would result in the defeat of
the bill. Senntor Paddock nnd others have
refused to take this view of the situation.
They insist that their position is simply ono
of demanding a new conference and
n proper adjustment oi tariff duties , which ,
they believe , has not been accorded the west.
Those who are standing with Senator Pad
dock insist that if the members from the
northwest who pledged themselves in confer
ence will now stand together n much better
bill can bo secured before congress adjourns ,
and oven If the matter should not bo settled
at the present session that sixty days of re-
llcctlon over the situation , together with a
certain pressure which would bo Drought
upon the senate from western constituencies ,
will result in a change for the better.
Senator Paddock began his speech by say
ing that wltnout malice toward any one , but
constrained by duty to the state and section
which ho represented , ho should vote against
the conference report. If it was a purely po
litical question ho should cheerfully accept
the Judgment of the majority of his party as
sociates , but ho could not consider this great
economic problem as ono entirely political in
its nature , affecting ns it did interests most
vital to his Immediate constituency and the
entire west. Ho could not sco the benefit
which would accrue to the people by the
sweeping away ot the imports on sugar when
measured in connection with losses sustained
by them through the increase in duties on
many other articles essential tollfo. Desir
able as frco sugar was , when secured at the
expense of dearer clothing , dearer tlnpluto ,
dearer earthenware , dearer cutlery and so on
it did not relieve the debit tide of the account
for the poor. In addition , when it bad
proved an ohstncle to the development of the
manufacture of sug.ir hy the wett and to the
commiindtng of reciprocal tr.ido with o ; .
nations it seemed to him illtlmod and unWi s
The senator then entered upon an nrgum
to show how European countries had fostei
beet sugar raising and how hy their fost < -
Ing care the crop which America could pi' .
dtico In volume suftlclcnt Tor the world liri $
become one of the most , if not the most , Inl ?
tiortant nprlcultut .il propucllons of Huropj ,
When the treatment by the conference com-
mltteo of this new and most promising Indus
try is compared , said Senntor I'addoelc , with
the treatment accorded the manufacturer : * of
tin plato , steel rails , struetinl iron , cutlery ,
woolen and cotton the result was not
pleasant to contemplate , nor did
It particularly incline n senator from n state ,
whoroa strong nnd promising commence
ment had been miulo In the development of
such an industry to vote for this report , Tno
beet sugar Industry , ho said , was more im
portant in Its promise to the people of this
country than any twenty others just at the
time- when the United States was about to
join in the procession of beet sugar makers ,
and when thorough tests In several states of
the northwest had shown that thcro was a
great future before this industry , at n
tlmo when a ( treat plant built In
Nebraska was about to start into
operation. The conference report , yielding
to unwise clamor , had refused to accord It
the protection which , nftcrnhiml strugplo ,
western soaators had obtained for it through
the senate bill. As for his own state , it was
paying o bounty to sugar-Browing , but why
should u state which paid annually the sum
of inoro th.in $ .Y H > , OOU of intercut revenue
taxes bo burdened with the protection of an
interest which was of national Imiwrt. In
conclusion the .senator stated that ho hail no
personal interest to subserve , bearing only In
mind the state nnd sei'tion which ho repre
sented ; that ho should bo frlad to bo sup
ported in his position by associates
nnd fr'ends. ' It was always painful to differ ,
bvt If forced to do so alone ho would main
tain his stand. Ho said that ho would have
voted as n republican and a prutectionist for
the bill as It passed the senate , not because it
was the test possible bill , but perhaps the
best practicable under the circumstances ;
that at least made substantial concessions to
the needs of the west and could have been
defended on that account , but as a republi
can ho should be compelled to vote against
the report , The senate bill ho could have do-
fehded , because it was n frank declaration
to wipe out the bhuling twine trust , wiilcli
had aerogautly ahd defiantly braved assault
from the farmers of the west , while it hail
oner.itert to reduce the profit on every bushel
of wheat raised in the trans-jllssourl coun
try. Ho could have pointed to free binding
twinoas an onmcst tuut republican perform
ance keeps imcd with republican promise anil
that hereafter ! combinations of this kind
would bo mot by the certainty of congres
sional action and"tho opening of the competi
tion of the world to control the practices of
such organizations. Hud the Hcnnto bill
been adopted he could have shown other Im
portant reductions in ilut.v worth many
hundreds of thousands of Hollars to
the settlers of the far west ,
hut which had disappeared from the
compromise of the conference ) committee. Ho
could have pointed to satisfactory protection
of the beet sugar industry an actual infant
industry In which the farmers of the west ,
nnd , indeed , of the whole country were
directly interested. With the bill as It passed
the senate ho would not have hesitated to go
before the western men , republican , and dem
ocrats alike , defending his ovary vote before
a tribunal of the people , stnndihg as a repub
lican mid n prohibitionist , nnd advising the
concurrence uid | endorsement of the measure
ns a whole , however subject it might have
been to criticisms on individual schedules
and paragraphs , but ho could not consistently
endorse the conference report , believing that
it yields In many essential features conces
sions which the people of Nebraska demanded
nnd \vhleh.iisoneof their representatives ,
ho- had struggled. The only manner , ho said ,
in which ho could inako hU protest effective ,
was not by threats , but by performance , by n
remonstrance which ends only with the con
summation of the vote endowing the results
obtained. Senator Paddock said that this ho
must do regardless of consequences to him
self and In compliance with what he believed
to bo his representative duty. He stated ho
had not ono penny worth of personal Interest
past , present or prospective in any Industry
affected by this bill. All that ho possessed
or hoped to possess In the world was within
the boundaries of Nebraska ; that her pros
perity nnd her fortunes were necessarily his ;
that he neither owned no'r would allow hlin-
selt lo own a share of stock affected by the
lluctuation of Wall street , nor was ho inter
ested directly or indirectly in any certificate
ot any umu or nature wnoso vaiuo any net or
legislation could change. " "Whatever criti
cism it may evoke from party associates or
political opponents , " said the senator , "I
shall at least bo acquitted in the court of my
own conscience from the charge of disap
pointment in failing to scsuro personal
aggrandizement and from the accusation of
selfish plquo at individual loss. As I could
have voted as a republican and a protectionist
for the bill us It passed the senateso I shall
vote as n republican and protectionist against
It. I sincerely hope that the report will not
bo adopted and that a new conference com
mittee will bo ordered. "

AtnoiiA , 111. , Sept. 29 , [ Special Telo-
*
cram to Tun BEE. ] A hearty ovation was
lendcred Bishop Taylor of Africa at the
UoclUUvcr Methodist conferenco. In his ad
dress' to the conference Bishop Taylor
sketched the outlines of hU great work nnd
how thirty-five mission stations nro prosper
ing1 on the congo. They could easily got
boys to enter the mission schools , but the
polygamists bought up the llttlo firls anil
they could not bo rescued without the pay
ment of ransom. This pioduccd a profound
sensation. Near tlio close a brother
nskcd the missionary how much
it took to redeem n girl. The bishop answered
$ ! 0. As teen ns benediction was pronounced
John A. Foster shouted out , "Let's redeem
ono of these girls for Bishop Taylor's school
before wo leave the house I" Mouoy camu to
the table from all parts of the house and in a
few moments the llrst girl was redeemed.
Then a llttlo note wni read : "I will redeem
the s'icond girl. W. T. Stuart. " Then the
call wns continued for the third girl and the
money was wised.V. . A. Spencer re
deemed the fourth girl und bomcono
else the iifth. Hov. Isaac Linoburger
came to the speaker , saying , "Ivlll
give for myself and friends 100. "
Then there was long applause and the ro-
dcemliiR went on until nine girls were saved
from polygamy for Christian schools. Bishop
Taylor will curry the money to Africa next
November and personally look at tor the re
demption of the girls ,
The utter disgrace and degradation from

the softest finding on any count being the
