Ing" system so much In vogue In Iho largo
cities , and nbout which so much hns been
written by the loading Journals of the Innd
Is to bo thoroughly Investigated by the com
mittee on manufacturers of the house of
representatives. Hon. Sherman Hoar , the
joung member from Massachusetts , has
boon the chief npltntor In the matter , nnd It
is understood ho will bend the subcommittee
which will bo required to visit several of Iho
lending cities of the country. There Is a
great difference of opinion in the minds of
members ns to whether , after all the abuses
have been unveiled , congress will not have
power to nbato the sweating system , as many
hold that Its regulation 1s exclusively within
the power of the legislators of the respective
ntntc-j and entirely without the Jurisdiction
of federal legislation. Bo that as it may ,
there Is no doubt but what the committee ou
manufactures will exorcise to Its fullest ix-
tent Iho authority of investigation today con
ferred upon It by the house , to the end that
whatever relief may bo found necessary will
como from the legislative powers having
jurisdiction ever the subject.
Several oxocutlvo communications were
laid before the house and appropriately
referred , "
The speaker announced the appointment of
the following committee to Investigate the
pension ofllco : Messrs. Wbeoloek of Michi
gan , Little of New York , Dnngan of Ohio ,
Llnd of Minnesota and Broslus of Pennsyl

A resolution was token up directing the
committee on manufacturers to investigate
the socallcd sweating system of tenement
house labor , and the committee given author
ity to send a subcommittee to the various
cities to carry on the inquiry. It wns also
directed to Inquire how much Incronso the
McKlnloy act caused in the wages of work
men employed In the Industries protected by
thnt net. The resolution was adopted.
In the morning hour the house resumed
consideration ot the bill for the better con
trol of and to promote the safety of national
banks.
Mr. Lockwood of New York objected to
the bill because ho believed It to bo detri
mental to the banking interests and to the
general Interests of the country to bo con
stantly changing and modifying the laws re
lating to national banks. The law on that
question today had become well settled. Ho
believed that the pending measure would
work 'detrimentally to the national banks.
There had not been n failure of a national
bank In this country where the ofllcors had
not violated tbo law ns it existed tuday and
where they could uot have be punished
under that law.
Air. llrnl AshH for Information.
Mr. Ueod wlhed to ask Mr. Bacon ( in
charge of tbo bill ) n question , and upon being
accorded permission asked the mcnnine of
the words In the bill "accepted and approved
by a majority of those present constituting a
quorum.1' | Laughter. ]
'The pontleman from Maine , " replied Mr.
Bacon , "Is so much bettor qualified than I to
answer the Inquiry that I will not occupy the
tlmo to reply. " [ Laughter. ]
"Tho point I wish to make , " resumed Mr.
Heed , "Is that I seem bettor qualified not
only than the gentleman , but than nil his
political colleagues collected together. "
" 1 don't know , " replied Mr. Bncon , "of
nnybody on this side of the house who de
sires to dispute the qualifications of the gen
tleman from Miino In discovering quorums.1'
Mr. Lockwood moved to refer the bill to
the committee on Judiciary.
The motion was lost yeas , 80 ; nays , Ili4.
Then Air. Lockwood moved an adjourn
ment , which motion was lost without divi-
nlon.

The bill wns then passed , Mr. Lockwoofl
being uunb.'o ' to muster enough force to order
the yeas nnd nays ,
The bouse , by avoto of sixty-onoyens to 111
pays , defeated a motion to adjourn made by
Mr. Hatch of Missouri. The motion was
made in good faith and without nny filibus
tering motive.
Mr. Peel of Arkansas , from the committee
on Indian affair ? , reported the Indian appro
priation bill , and it was reported to the com
mittee of the whole.
Olllrer.s of the Soldiers' Hnmr.
On motion of Mr. Outhwaito of Ohio , n bill
was passed authorising the board of man
agers of the National Soldiers Homo to ap
point their ofllccrs from soldiers who served
in the late war without regard to rank.
On motion of Mr. Caminottl of California , a
Joint resolution was passed , requesting the
secretary of war to report what amount of
money can be profitably expended in carrv-
ingout the recommendation of the coin mis
sion to investigate the mining debris ques
tion in California.
The house then proceeded to the consider
ation of tbo house calendar , the first bill
being that amending the internal revenue
laws by abolishing tbo minimum punishment
for violation thereof. It was passed without
division , and the house adjourned.

Dr. Martin of Kearney , president of the

ple throughout the state , Dr. Martin said :
"I have never soon the people of Nebraska
in n more hopeful mood than at present.
Thov huvo plenty of grain , plenty of food and

ors iu the western part of the state In bettor

people. In their homes I fouud
good standard literature and I am convinced
that tuti coming campaign is going to bo , In

Intelligent reasoning 0.1 the part ot the

"I am Inclined to bellovo that the majority

this great state to bollevo that they will fin
ally settle the questions at Issue in the next

fnlrly presented to them. "
Turning the subject upon the Industries
springing up over the state nnd particularly
nt Kearney , Dr. Martin snld : "Kearney Is a
marvelous young city. In n few weeks the
great coUon mill , which when under full
headway will employ 1,000 people , is to bo
opened and the advantages of our water
power will then begin to assort themselves.

of Butternut , a small town near Ashland ,
was found dead in bed at 10 o'clock last
night. It was nbout 10 o'clock last night , ac
cording to the story of Mrs. Krouse , that her
husband went into the bedroom and laid
down. Mrs. Krouso heard nn unusual noise
and wont into the bedroom and found her
husband In bis death ngony. Krouso is the
man who complained about a week ago that
Julius Lipkn , n hunchback , hud tried to
poison him. A complaint was sworn out
and Lipku was arrested and tried before a
municipal court. On the day set for trial
Krouso failed to appear and the case was
dismissed , Krouso complained that Lipka
had fu"nlshed bis wife with strychnine to
give him In order to get him out of the way
and that his wife afterwards confessed the
whole thing. Since the suit has been brousht
ho has expressed a desire to die , and public
opinion Is divided as whether bo committed
suicide or not. It is thought some deep mys
tery surrounds the case.

NEW YOIIK , Fob. 13. According to a Wash
ington dispatch to the World , there is an
echo of the Clovcland-Blaino campaign of
18S4 In the story behind the nomination of
Roland B. Mahauy of New York ns minister
to Ecundor. The mugwump fever which wns
epidemic in Massachusetts during the oxolt-
Inc canvass , was contracted by not a few of
the students of Harvard college. President
Eliot , too , bolted the nomination of the
Maine statesman. Young Matmny defended
Mr. Blalne's career and stoppad the stam
pede that had started. The tight In the col
lege was fully reported at the time and came
under Mr. Elaine's notice. After the elec
tion Mr. Blaine wrote a letter to the young
man thanking him for his action. Subse
quently young Mahauy was Introduced to
the secretary , whmi Mr. Blaine took a strong
liking to him. Ilia apj > 3lntmnt was un-
cioubtcdly suggested by tuo secretary.

WASIHXOTOX , D. C. , Feb. in. The Conn-
dian rccliiroclty coramlsslouors , accompanied
by Secretaries IJInlno mid Klkins nnd Sir
Julian I'nuncofoto , called at the whlto house
today nnd were formally iircsontod to the
president. The visit was merely for the nur-
pose of n.iylnt ; their respects.
At the close of yesterday's ' meeting It-was
decided to hold the next session Monday ,
when the negotiations will bo continued.
There Is no means of ascertaining ut present
how much loncor the conference wtll bo con
tinued. It Is understood Secretary Illalno
elicited the fact that the commissioners from
Canada have In reality no power to conclude n
reciprocal trade arrangement at present , nnd
on that basis bo intimated that a.further
prolongation of the discussion of the ques
tion at this tlmu would bo useless , as the
ground that may bo covered la preliminary
discussions would have to bo gone ever again
should Canada ever send a commission cm *
powered to bind the government to n Jroaty.
It is rumored that the adjournment until
Monday was talton In order that the cables
might ho utilized toward obtaining from the
government at London some ofllclal expres
sion giving the present negotiations tbo color
of authority.
Improvements of the MIssUluppI.
After hearing from the engineer ofllcora of
the covcrnincnt and the delegation appointed
to lay the matter before congress , the senate
committee on commerce has decided to rec
ommend the adoption of tua most liberal
policy tor the Improvement of the great In
ternal waterway furnished by the Mississ
ippi river.
After n thorough consideration of the sub
ject It was deckled that the hill recently In
troduced by Senator Ulnson of Louisiana
was better adapted to secure satisfactory
results than any other. As It
will bo reported to the senate the
bill makes an appropriation of $15,000.000 for
the improvement of the Mississippi river ,
whereof 510,000,000 shall bo expended under
direction of the secretary of war , in accord
ance with such plans of the Mississippi river
commission us may bo approved by the chief
engineers to bulldj repair nnd extend levees ,
dykes nnd other works on the river from the
passes to the mouth of the Ohio. There is
n provision that no moro than $2,000,003 of
this appropriation shall bo expanded In any
ouo year.
The bill commits congress to the levee sys
tem of river improvements. It wns adopted
by an unanimous vote of the committee and
reported to the senate ,
Silxer Men Working.
The silver men have secured nbout 120
names to their petition asking that the silver
bill bo made a special order in the houso.
There are a number of members absent from
the house , and for this reason there are
many members to whom it has not yet boon
presented. None but democrats who It Is
believed will vote for ' 100 coinage are being
asked to sign. About 1'iftcon of those to
whom the petition has boon Handed have de
clined to sign on ono ground or another.
Sonic have said that they thought it was
clving too much prominence to the silver
issue and making it paramount to the tariff
question , and others that tboy thought It
might embarrass the spoaltor. The silver
men say that , notwithstanding statements to
the contrary , they are confident of their abil
ity to secure consideration for the bill. They
ore determined to put every man in the house
on record on the question. With this object
in view , if any disposition should bo made
apparent to prevent a vote on the bill , they
will move its passage under asusponslon or
the rules when an opportunity offers" Th'ls ,
however , will not bo attempted except as a
last resort. There is n sentiment among
many members of the house , Including some
unquestioned free coinage men , in favor of
an early report of the tariff bills from the
ways and moans committee , nnd of keeping
them before the country so as to prevent giv
ing undue prominence to the silver question.
It Is not their purpose , they state , to nntag-
onUo silver , but to have the tariff bills on the
calendar , so that they can also bo made a spe
cial order about tbo same time as the silver
bill , the latter , of course , to have right of
way ai the prior measure In the order of tbo
report to the houiu.
Oldiiliitmu mill Indian Territory.
The house committee on territories today
heard an argument by Horace Speed , district
attorney of Oklahoma , in favorof the Harvey
bill for the admission of Oklahoma and In
dian Territory as ono state. Ho contended
that there was in the torritorvan open recog
nized hostility to the United States which
manifested Itself In several ways , and ho
started to read from a newspaper extracts on
the subject.
Mr. Kilgoro of Texas asked if ho would
read from the now testament or a newspaper.
Mr. Speed A newspaper ; which politi
cians road more than the new testament and
with which they are much moro familiar.
lie then read the extract which gnvo a
charge by Judge Parker at Fort Snlth to a
Jury , 10 the effect that hostility to the United"
States deputy marshals In Indian Territory
was notorious and should bo taken Judicial
cognizance of in a trial for thn mur
der of ono of them. There was in Indian
Territory moro crime ana more murder
than In any other agricultural section of the
United States of equal slzo and population.
For the protection of lifo and properly it was
necessary to provide a system of govern
ment , and of courts , by which trials could
bo secured In the districts in which crimes
were commuted nnd by local juries. Ho
delarod thut in Oklahoma crime had bJn
repressed as soou as they secured this right.
Ho said there wns nothing In our treaties
with the Indians to prevent the territory
from becoming a state ,

conference on the Springer \vool bill today.
The result was an agreement on the rates of

The result of the conferences was fuvorablo
to the low tariff members oC the committee ,
reducing nil Outlet below 40 per cent under tbo
present law , as well as those above
I'i pur cent. The ngresincnt reached has yet
to be voted on as a whole , the action ol todav
being on each paragraph of the wool and

greatest reduction is made from the 40 per

The Dutch never took Holland more conv
pletcly or cnthuslustlc'&ljy than the Swedes
took possession of tho'Omaha Young Men's
Christian association building last night.
It wns Swedish night In the scries of na
tional nights , and It looked ns though nbout
half of the Swedish people of Omaha were
thero. Deforo 8 o'clock nearly every scat In
the large lecture hall was taken an d the stream
of people kept coming until the nlslos were
llllod with chain nnd occupied and every
foot ot standing room wns llllod. Light
bnlr nnd blue eyes predominated throughout
the house and the serious , thouchtful liices
of the sons nnd daughters of that dear old
land , the birthplace of Etlccson , Oustavus
AdolPhus , Jenny Llnd nnd scores of men nnd
women who have made their names Im
mortal , mot the eye on every band.
Dr. G. Ilolinqulst presided and opened the
program of the evening with a few uporoprl
nta remarks.
Secretary Ober then delivered n brief , but
very fitting , address of welcome. He said
ho was very glad , for several reasons , that
ho had the privilege of welcoming so many
Swedish people to the Young Men's Chris
tian association to onjdy anight of song mid
speechmaking with special reference to
Sweden. Ho had enjoyed the pleasure of
meeting King Oscar n few years ngo
whllo nttcndtni ; n meeting of tbo
World's Young Men's Christian association
nt Stockholm. Ho remembered the kind
welcome that the King nnd all the Swedish
people bad extended to the delegates who
attended that mcctlncr , and this occasion
gave him an opportunity to extend to the
Swedish people ot Omuhn n welcome that
would , In a measure , help to return the Umd-
ness shown the delegates to Stockholm.
Mr. Obor's remarks ware greeted by np-
plauso.
The Swedish Evangelical choir then sang a
very melodious selection , uttoi which Mr.
Herman Swan berg caught the audience very
happily by playing n guitar solo that called
for n hearty encore.
Mr. Carl M. Holgron then recited a parody
on the well known piece called "Sparticus to
the Gladiators. " The recitation was ull
right so far us the delivery was concerned ,
but n lareo part of the audience were evi
dently not ncqunlntcd with the original , mid
the clover sallies in the .parody were not
fullv appreciated.
Miss Hanna Flodman then appeared nnd
sang In the Swedish language a very beauti
ful song which tno audicnco applauded rap
turously.
Then Prof. M. Ostorholm delivered an address -
dross upon the sons of Sweden. The address
was about thirty minutes In length and was
full of good things from beginning to end.
The speaker npoko tenderly of the fatherland ,
describing its closr , , .musieal streams , It
llowory dales nnd its charming scenery. Ho
spoke eloquently of the many illustrious people
ple that Sweden had , produced , and in clos
ing ho exhorted the people before him to be
come deeply attached f.o the land of their
adoption ns they had boon to the laud of their
birth and to "cherish find defend the stars
and stripes as their : fathers had the national
banner across the sea.
The address was receded with breathless
attention and followed by a hearty round of
applause. , . J'
The choir sang again and then Prof. Swan-
berg favored tho'audience , with another
guitar solo. Ho was recalled and sang very

will bo soon that Nebraska has fared well In

The story of Postmaster General Wann-
mniter's resignation is the same as was first
put out over a year ago. It bore the old
familiar marks and wns a reiteration of state
ments which Mr. Wanamaker is tlrod of de
nying. There is no moro truth In It than
there was 'when it wai ilrst published. It is
claimed by the gossips , who have nothing to
do but tear the cabinet to pieces on paper ,
that the relations between tbo president and
the postmaster general are very much
strained , and in order to got Mr. U'unn-
maltor out of the cabinet the president has
tendered him the mission to Franco which
Minister Whitolaw Held Is said to bo on the
point of resigning. The rumor is so absurd
that Mr. Wanarnakcr scarcely thought lit to
deny it.
New Hut False Story.
A variation of the story with regard to the
postmaster general's resignation was pub
lished today , to the effect that his private in
terests uro suffering nnd ho will leave the
cabinet to give attention to his business in
terests. Mr. Wanninaker is authority for
tbo statement that when ho accepted his
cabinet position ho did : o wl h the full pur
pose of conducting his department on busi
ness principles nnd of carrying out Ideas
which bo considered would bo foe the im
provement of the service. Ho is still en
gaged in prosecuting that work , which has
become very popular , nnd ho has no Idea of
giving It up. It Is sofo to say that Mr.
Wanamnker will continue to bo' postmaster
general until tbo 4th of .March. 1893 , at least.

A pension claimant at Stoclcvillc , Nob. , has
written a protest against the allowance of
his pension under the act of Juno 27 , 1S9U ,
saying that ho has applied under the old law ,
which ho thinks will glvo a larger latitude
and possibly a moro liberal pension. The an
nouncement comes as a surprise to- the pen
sion onicc , as pension claimants are in the
habit of accepting a pension under the law
most casll > compiled with nnd then Hocking
an increase under other laws having a larger
limit of possibility. The new law limits the
pension to (12 a month , whllo it may bo
graded higher , according to disability , under
the old law. Tbl * may servo as a "pointer"
to a number of BEE readers who are seeking
original or Increases ot pensions.
To Keorgunlio the Army.
Early in the week Senator Mandcrsou ,
from the committee on military affairs , will
ronort a bill for the reorganization of the ar
tillery nnd Infantry branch of the army. The
bill was prepared by a subcommittee of the
senate committee on military aflalrs consist
ing of Senator Manderaon , chairman , nnd
Senators Proctor and Cockrell. It will bo In
tbo nnMro of a substitute for four bills \ \ hleh
have been pending before the committee ,
namely. Manderson's three-battalion bill.
Proctor's bill to reorganlro the infantry , his
bill to reorganize the artillery and Sherman's
to reorganize tbo lino. All these bills will ba
reported adversely , The new bill makes many
radical cnungos. It provides for an enlarge
ment of the artillery oiganlzatlon of tha in-
tan try without nny Increase In the cost of
maintenance ; It adds two regiments to the
artillery arm of the service , but by decreas
ing the number of lieutenants gives seven
lessonicers than now to that arm ; It gives
two majors to every Infantry regiment , but
cuts down the Ilrst lieutenants to ton In imcli
regiment , and the second lieutenants eight ,
It also cuts off fifty regimental quartermas
ters and adjutants. It thus decreases the
number of Infantry oflleers by twenty-five.
It provides for examination for promotion
and makes regimental adjutants and rjuartor
musters selected from thoilnn tlrstlloutonants
to servo without extra pay. The bill is in
the nature of n compromise , adjusted to thn
cheeseparing policy of the hoiuo. It Is not
the best possible , but the best attainable.
