WASHINGTON , D. C. . March 29-Two hours
jpent In executive session by the senate this
afternoon suniccd to complete the considera
tion ot the Boring sea arbitration treaty , nnd
It wns ratified by n unanimous veto at the
conclusion of the discussion. .
The debate tlself wns without Incident.
Mr. Sherman , who had the treaty In cnnrgo ,
presented two amendments which It was be
lieved to bo dcilrablo to incorporate In the
document , nnd they were agreed to. Ono of
them provides that the argument nnd pro
ceedings before the arbitrators shall bo In the
English language. This amendment was
suggested to Sir Julian Pahncofoto a day or
two ago. Ho said lhat It appeared to bo
proper , but thai ho should llko lo scouro the
formal assent of Lord Salisbury lo do it.
This asient came In the form of a cablegram ,
which was this morning shown lo Iho presi
dent by the British minister , nnd was ni
once sent to Senator Sherman , who caused
, the necessary amendment lo bo incorpornled
in tbo treaty.
Exactly tbo same pvoceeduro was followed
In the case of the second amendment , which
changes nrticlo 11 of tbo treaty so as to require -
quire arbitrators to make thrir decision , if
possible , within four months Instead of tbreo
lor the data of the close of the arguments of
the counsel. This change was believed ; o bo
doairablo In vlow of the maamtudo ot the
subject and the enormous volume ot lesll-
mony lo bo considered by the arbitrators.
( > | inoaltlon Disappear. ! .
The opposition to the ratiflcallon , which
had been very much weakened ycslorday ,
completely disappeared as tbe result of Mr.
Sherman's explanation today , nnd when the
question was t ken directly on the resolu
tion of ratillcalion there were no nays while
the yeas numbered seventy-two , an unusual
largo vote in the senato.
The senate ordered the detailed vote ns
well as all of the corresuondenco In the case
to bo made public. The latlor has already
been published in the newspapers.
The senators who voted for Iho ralificallon
of Iho Irealy were Messrs. Alton , Alli
son , Barbour , Bate , Berrv , Blacaburn ,
Butler , Call , Cameron , Carey , Carlisle ,
Chandler , Cockrcll , Coke , Cullom , Daniel ,

There was an air of relief about Iho sena

Whore they had been sitting behind closed
doors tor so many hours during the past two
weeks. All of them were glad that the
troublesome treaty had been disposed of at
last.

WASIUXCITO.V. D. C. , March 29. The free
coinage advocates nave not yet given up the
ghost in tbo house of representatives. The
controversy between Mr. Bland and Speaker
Crisp wns the subject ot general comment
today , nnd the former nnnounces that ho
I/ will make no further attempt to secure n de
cree of cloture from the coinmilloo on rules ,
but Air. Plerca of Tennessee and otber lend
ers in the free coinage movement have neuln
taken courage nnd will make ouo supreme
ultompt to force the cmnmllloo ou rules lo
report a rule fixing a day and force u vote on
the passage of tbo bill.
There was n very liirbt attendance at
today's scsvlon of the house and it was itn-
possiilo tosoo all Ibo democratic members
\\ho last week voted for the Bland bill , but
up to the hour of adjournment this evening
between ninety and ll'U nuinos had been se
cured to the petitions asking tbo committee
on rules to bring In a report for tbo further
consideration and n final vote on the bill.

Is quite positively stated by the anti-free
colim-'o ( members that over twenty demo
cratlu members who last weak voted for tin
bill , have already refused to sign the pall

been given Is denied by tbo advocates of thi
bill.
Thlnl Party Men Jubilant ,
Perhaps the most Jubilant mom bars In thi
liousojust now are the nine people's part ;
congressmen , who rejoice In the dlscomfitun
of tbo democratic majority and proclaln
that tbo failure ot the democratic house ti
cess the free coinage bill means lhat the pee
plu's party will carry six or eight states li
tbe coming campaign.
Representative Watson , tbo lender of thi
uooplo's party , tonight said : "This actloi

Hundreds of thousands of voters In thi

No power on earth can now keep Georgia fron

WASIIIXOTOX , D. C. . March 29. The
Springer free wool bill will probably bo
passed by the house nnd sent to the Rcnnto
within n wook. This Is the program dis
cussed nt n scries of consultations today be
tween Speaker Crisp , Mr. McMillan nnd the
democratic members of the ways nnd means
committee and later approved by Chairman
Springer. It will probably receive the for
mal endorsement of the democratic majority
ot the ways nnd means committee tomorrow ,
and the house will then ut the proper time
bo requested to clvo Us concurrence by
ticrcolng to a suspension ot the rules for the
passing of the bill. Under the prouratn con
templated fconeral debate will probably bo
closed within two or three days
ntid the bill will then ba dis
cussed fora very brief time under the flvo mln-
utortilr. On Monday Chairman Springer , who
Is rapidly recovering from ins scvcro illness ,
will appear In tbo house nnd himself mnko
the decisive motion for the passage of the
bill. Ho may make n few remarks in advo
cacy ol the bill , but in his enfeebled condi
tion will not attempt any elaborate closing
remarks. This change In the program Is duo
to the desire of the democratic bnJorj to ad
journ the house by Juno 1.
The further necessity for the prompt passage -
sago of ono or moro tariff bills nroao Irom the
desire of the democratic leaders to give the
scnnto omplo tlmo to discuss them before
final adjournment. In the event of the bouso
proposing adjournment by Juno 1 , It there
fore became necessary to send the tniiff bills
to tbo senate as qulculy as possible in order
that the republican senators might not be
able to stela that Insufficient tlmo bad boon
given tb.it bodv for the discussion of the
several bills before udjournmont.
Kills Island Iiuestlgatlon.
Tbo Ellis Island Investigation by the Joint
senate and liouso committees on Immigra
tion today wns marked by animation and
tartness. There was a spirited controversy
between Assistant Secretary Nottlolon of
the Treasury department nnd Chairman
Chandler of the senate committee. Chair
man Chandler sought to place upon Mr. Not-
tleton the responsibility for the policy under
Which tbo department used immigration
head money for improvements nt Ellis island.
Mr. Nottleton denied thnt the responsibil
ity properlv attached to him and accused the
two chairmen of hostility toward him.
Senator Chandler charged Mr. Nottloton
with making a false statement , und this
charge the assistant secretary resented in
language as severe as that used by the sena
tor.
tor.A still moro sensational turn was given the
Investigation a short tlmo nftcrwnids when
Assistant Secretary Nottloton received n let
ter calling the attention of the secretary of
tbe treasury und of the president to tbo man
agement of "tho ofllco of superintendent of im
migration oy Mr. W. D. Owon. In brief , the
letter said that Mr. Owen was incompetent ,
thoroughly untrustworthy , and slipshod in
the handling of the public's money. There
was also a specific allegation that Superin
tendent Owen had attempted to sccuro pay
ment of nn improper voucher.
Superintendent Owen explained that there
wns an Irregularity in connection with the
voucher referred to , but that bo was not re
sponsible for it.

WASHINGTO : ? , D. C. , March 29.Tho tariff
dcbalo was today resumed In the house of
representatives , but the discussion was
rather uninteresting after iho exciting
scones thai have been provoked by the silver
controversy during the past , week. Indeed
It is considered doubtful by tno leading
members of the house whotLor it will bo
possible to revive public interest In the
tnrlflt debates again this session , and the
leaders nro In favor of closing general
debate on the tarllT bills within a woaknnd

after as possible , at is doomed by them but n

bills to the senate without delay in order
thnt the republicans of that body may not
bo nblo to assert on the stamp this fall that
inadequate time was afforded the senate to

Mr. llurtcr Opens the Debute.
Mr. Harter of Ohio , In speaking In favor of

Mr. Funston of Kansas Inquired whether
ho gentleman was not a manufacturer of
machinery protected by a patent right.
Mr. Hurter renlicd in tbo anlrmativc.
Mr. Funston Inquired why the gentleman
> \ as not in favor of tailing oft that protection.
Mr. Hartor said that ho understood the
gentleman to iutlmato that there was a simi
larity existing between the protection men
got under the patent laws and the protection
they got under the McKinlov bill. Was that
the gentleman's position I
Mr. Funston suggested that both wuvc pro
tection.
Mr. Harter replied thnt the difference he-
twcen patent protection nnd protection
under thu tariff was this : The man who se
cured protection under a patent must do ono
thing and that was a condition precedent.
Ho must out of his own head , or by pur
chase , secure a creation that was a blessing
to all about him. But protection under the
tanft came to a mau absolutely without any
benefit to the nation coming from him. Mr.
Hartor then criticised , the McKmloy act ,
summing up its effect in n paraphrase of the
nursery rhyme : "Ba baa , black sbeup , have
you any wooU Yes , kind sir , I'vo three
bags full. Ona for protection , two for the
same. But none for tno farmer who cries in
tholano. " [ Laughter.J
Mr. McCreary of Kentucky , made n gen
eral attack upon the protective system nil

Mr. Dolllver Comes Hack at Them.
Mr. Dollivcr of Iowa , in passing unon the
measure , criticised tbo Mills bill , which ho
said merely reduced tnn tariff Irom 47 per
cent to1 - per cone. Tno bill proposed to
make a compromise with cannibals 'to com
pound a felony , to associate with robbers , to
accept the apology of pickpockets and to
nccopt Mavtry. For what ) For a reduction
of o per cent. [ Laughter. ] Tbo fact Vhat
this house , almost unanimously democratic ,
it was claimed , as a protection , against tbo
McKinlov act nnd its prominent candidates
for tbo presidency , asking for its repeal , bac
not touched the McKmloy bill except
cept in a child's play , wus ovl-
dcnco that the argument of free trade was
a demagogic proclamation secretly discov
ered by people who wftro pasting it up on the
barn doors of Iowa nnd Nebraska. The peud-
iai : measure would mnko no impression. His
friend from Nebraska ( Mr. Bryan ) said that
u gunoral tariff bill would not pass the senate
or receive the signature of tbo president
Neither would tbo&o bills. Two years ago
iho republican party , under a tempest o
false pretences , had gouo down , carrying tbo
McKlnley act on Its back. This year the
McKlnloy net carried tbo republican party
and tbo gentleman who gave the meas

cnair he looked down upon n country made
happy und prosparous under tits t provi
slons. Diit the gentleman from Nobrjsua
suppose that the republican party was going
to allow a committee of stump speakers to

of worn and debilitated phrases ? Did bo

The occasion was the trial ot a workman who

seems to have been nt least n dozen. Tbo
3iio doing the most damage , as near ns can
be learned , started on tbo Pralno Dog about
sixty miles south of hero , commencing Sun-
lay , night about midnight nnd reach
ing the Kansas line nt T in the
morning. By this time thu wind
wns blowing n calo from the southeast.
Messengers were stitrtcd out fiom the Kin-
ras border to warn the farmers nf the np-
nroachlne danger nnd many were nblo by
bncic llrlng to ave their hotnw nnd sjtock.
I bo messenger arrived In McCookonly n fmv
moments before the lire reached the Repub
lican river and was stopped In Its work of
destruction.
There wcro many miraculous escapes by
the farmers who lived along the track of the
flames which covered a space of about seven
Lilies wide.
A man nnd womnr stnrtcJ from Herndon ,
Kan. , for McCook , thinking thov could get in
ahead of the flumes , but when noout flvo
miles from this city were overtaken by the
flames. They laid down the bottom of their
buggy nnd the flames passed over thorn ,
sclnginp their hnlr , nnd It was with difficulty
that they Kept their clothes from getting on

nnd run until nearly exhausted.
Three farmers , A. Rogers , his son , and n

J. C. Dodgn , a farmer living about six

which drifted up to a wire fcnco where they
wcro overtaken by the flames.

Cool unit Methodical Method In Which
Deeming DUiinHedufllls Victims.
Livnitrooi. , March 29. Dr. Hutchluson
ono of the medical mon who conducted the
postmortem examination on the bodies oi
Mrs. Deeming nnd her four children , which
were found buried undur the floor nt Din-
ham villa , Rain Hill , has told the represent
tativc of the Associated press the method
followed by the murdoror. Ho said that the
crime discloses a calculating wickedness ,
and coot , heartless savnmsm which is almost
beyond belief. The work ot the murderer
wns that ot an expert. Only In ono case
was the stroke that caused death moro tbur
sufficient for that purpose. Each stroke
severed a vital organ und no moro mignt
have been accomplished by a surgeon or a
butcher who knew his business well. The
children , whoso well nourished con
dition nnd well ordered clothing
showed the good and careful treat
ment ot their mother , had partaken
of meat. Tbo mother too bad eaten her
supper. Tbo mother was firat called from
the room in which she wns with the
children into the room where the murderer
awaited her. This Is shown from the posi
tion of the wound that killed her and tbo
fact that ono of her shoes was oil ana tno
other partly unlaced. It further appears
that as she. sicoued to."unite her slioes she
was attacked from behind und died almos
without a strugclo.
1'nc.i the children were called , ono by one ,
to meet their death. Bertha , the oldest , had
her hands tied behind her back with n linen
bandage two Inches wide. A similar bandage -
ago was wound around her head so as to
cover her mouth nnd keep her frnm crying.
A pillow case was then placed over her head
und the murderer strangled her.
The hands of the serond girl were also tiott
behind her back , but in the case of the other
children this precaution wns not thought
necessary. Ono otber significant and queer
fact is that , although tbo throats of four out
of the five victims worj cut. or. none of the
bodies or clothing was there n tr.ico of blood ,
which leave * a dreadful infcrenco regarding
the desperate uud calm caiofulncss with
which tbo slaughter was committed.
The names nnd nges of the children were :
Burtna , 9 years ; Marie , 7 ; Lilla , 5 ; Sydney ,
IS mouths.
The very terms of tbo lease which Deem
ing hired Dinbam villa gave proof of tbo
hideously cold-blooded premeditation of the
butchery. Read in the llgbi of later revela
tions , tbo document , which was drawn
up and written by Deeming himself ,
shows that when ho took tbo house tbo
atrocities hud already bcon planned and that
ho became tbo tenant of tbc villa lor the pur
pose of carrying thorn into effect and ridding
himself of tbo wife nnd children who stood
in the way of his marriairo' Miss Mather ,
whoso unfortunate attachment for tins ac
complished murderer , tblof and forger , re
sulted in her murder at Melbourne.
Benjamin Youug'lold a reporter today bow
ho bad been engaged by Deeming to level tbo
cument in tbo kitchen floor covering the five
bodies.
The versatility of this unequalcd criminal
Is shown In another instance his Bovury
and Hull adventures , In which ho passed by
tbo nnmo of Loivs-on. It was in Bcvcrlv
thnt ho married Miss Matborm Ib'J ) , nnd
deserted her a fortnight later. Ho lodged ut
the residence of the mother of Miss Mather
and married the girl shortly nftor ha
lookup his sojourn thcrc. It was nt this
time thnt ho committed the fraud on Key-
uoldson & Co , Jewelers of Hull. Ho pur
chased Jewelry from them valued nt 300
and gave in payment for It checks on n bank
where ho had no account. Immediately
afterwards ho took pasingo from Southamp
ton to Buenos Ayros. The fraud was re
ported to the police and the foreign oflloo
ordered Lowson's detention nt Montevideo.
Lowson was arrested at the South American
port , brought back to England nnd com
mitted for nlno months' imprisonment.
Taken altogether , it is believed Hint no
country has over produced such a coiuum-
mately utterly unprincipled and wholly con-
sclcntiousless vllllan ns this flnnd In human
form , who has Killed women and children
with as little compunction as an ordinary
man would kill a snake.
ML-LUOUUNU , March 29. Dooming Is
guarded night and day aboard the Ballarat

A detective accompanying Deeming hints
that bo pos6csjc3 links In the chain of evi
donee showing thnt Deeming committed
some of the murders attributed to Jack the
Ripper.
Tuo date of the murder of Miss Mathers
has been fixed through evidence given oy
persons living In an adjoining housowho tcs
tilled to bearing noises In Deemlug's house
as though some ouo was working on the
