D. 0. , April 7. Tariff nnd
Internal revenue consumed Iho time of the
house today. Tailfl had the right of way ,
nnd after a line spcocu from Mr. Wilson ot
West Virginia , who won his spurs and repu
tation ns ono of the clearest headed men In
the house when ho advocated the Mills bill ,
the free wool bill was dispatched on its Jour
ney toward the senate.
Mr. Wilson said that It was not his purpose
to review In detail the already much debated
provision for this bill. Neither was It hla
purpose to make a comparison of the conflict
ing systems of taxation that Were now strug
gling for n mastery In the land. Ho could
attempt orly to use the pending measure ns
n text for some criticism of the existing laws.
Mr. Wilson criticised the McKlnley bill nnd
ridiculed the manner in which it was form
ulated.
In conclusion ho sold : "Tnero Is n great
exaggeration , hero and everywhere , ns to
the character of foreign labor. I read n few
days ago n statement made by Mr. Butter-
worth of Ohio that ho diligently looked for
this pauper labor of Europe wherever ho
was in Europe lust summer. In Germany ,
in Belgium nnd in Holland ho looked for It
nnd did not find it. If lie had looked for it
In the fields of the farmers , If ho had looked
for it In the fields of the planters , If ho had
looked for It In the tlelds of wheat growers ,
if ho had gene further and looUnd in Iho
fields of cotton growers , ho would bavo
found that pauper labor.
Mr.
"Gentlemen , compnro the condition of the
people of England with the condition of the
people of this country ; n country that until
n few yenrs ago , almost in the days of our
fathers , was hidden from the knowledge of
the people of these elder worlds. Here ,
while they were exhausting tholr fields , the
mold In our ngricultur.il valleys was deopon-
ing. Hero , while they were exhausting
their mines , ours were lying undisturbed in
the mountains. Hero , whtlo they wore ex
hausting forests , not the t.ound of an
ux broito the stillness of the woods.
And now , when ' .hero is lot into
this country but a handful of people , so to
. , Bponk , the most enterprising nnd best odu
.f cated people of the world ; a people who have
* rV -ought l > with them lo this country all the
* " knowledge of the science , all the Invenllons ,
all the tool ? , all the capacity for self-govern
ment nnd the blessing of the Christian re
ligion , when they nro let loose in this great
country , extending from so.i to son , rich , un
touched unexhausted , unexplored , and say
that wo ewe our greater prosperity ,
our bettor opportunities for useful
ness , our higher wages , our better
conditions in every respect , not to the
bounty of Almighty God in giving us such
n country , not lo the wisdom and sacrifice
of the fathers In giving us free institutions
and equal laws , not to the enterprise and in
telligence of our people , but to a poor little
B by 0 lew of congress made by yourselves
in the way I have indicated. "
At the conclusion of Mr. Wilson's remarks
ho was heartily npplauded and received the
warm congratulations of his party colleagues.

Mr. Burrows of Michigan moved to ex-

Then Mr. Funston , rising to a question of

Mr. Wtieoier of Alabama made the point

sented n memorial from the citizens of Mass
achusetts praying for the naturalization of
Chinamen who cnmo to thu United States
irlor to the passage of the first exclusion act.
The scnato resolution , offered by Teller ,
was agreed to , calling on the secretary of the
treasury for a statement of the nmount ot
silver olTerod tno government each month
since the passage of iho act of July II , Ib'JO ,
by whom and utwhat prices , amounts pur
chased each month , from whom and at what
prices , nnd the number ot dav.s given the
seller in which to deliver the silver.
The seuato then proceeded to consider the
Olstiict of Columbia appropriation bill ,
lUiittt I'iiJHim In Cold.
Stowort made a personal explanation on
the subject of an article published yostcr-
dav showing u list of mortgages made to him
In Alnmeda county , California , wherein was
an obligation that paymcntshoula bo in gold.
Ho said the mortgages resulted from the sale
of property nt auction through San Fran
cisco brokers. Ho never saw the mortgages ,
but -suoposed they contained the gold pay
ment obligation under what was known ns
the Paclllo contract law. Ho WHS opposed to
the law nnd would bo glad to bo paid in any
kind of money.
Mr. McMillan offered nn amendment to'tho
District of Columbia bill appropriating 375-
000 for the rcrontion and entertainment of
the next encampment of the Grand Army of
the Republic in Washington , one-half to bo
paid from tlio treasury and the other Iroin
the revenues from the district of Columbia ,
nrovidin ? no part shall bo available until
fO.OOO shall have boon raised by popular sub
scriptions and expended.
Mr. McMillan otTorod ( for himself ) n sub
sliuita appropriating 3100,0JO for tha same
uurposo.
Opposed by Harris nnd Vest.
Air. Harris and Mr. Vest opposed the pro
position. Congress , thov salu , had nothing
to do with the matter. The citizens of the
district had invited the Grand Army of the
Republic hero and should pay the bills.
Mr.Pcffer understood tuat the people of
this city had invited the old soldiers to como
nnd hold tlioir national encampment here ,
nud promised to eu'.ortain them. But the
citizens of Washington wcro not authorized
by congress to say that the people ot the
whole nation would pay their expense. Ho
would , however , take ono nlclit to consider
what his old soldier friends of Kansas might
iisk him to do In the raattur. Ho would take
time to think about it , and if in the und his
vote should Uo in favor of the appropriation
it would bo under his own personal protest
and in obedience to the wishes of those who
btood behind him.
The matter wont over , therefore , without
notion after Mr. Hawlcy had given notlcn of
r.n amendment placing the expenditure under
the control ot the secretary of war.
During the discussion iho bill to placowool
on the Iroo list mid to reduce the duty on
woolen goods vas received from the committee -
too , nnd after the district oill wns laid asldo
the wool bill was taken up nnd brought before
fore the senate and referred to tbo llnanco

Tin : DEB. | it Is very probable that either
Senator bhermnn or Senator Chandler will
introduce In the scnato n proposition which
will , If it becomes a law. revolutionize manu
facturing Interests in this country. The
suggestion was first made to Secretary Fester
tor , last fall , by Mr. E. Uosowatcr , editor of
Trie Bui : . It is the free port privileges
which pertain at Hamburg , Germany.
Germany tins the same protective laws
that the United States has. By a special
act of the Reichstag u portion of Hamburg
was sot apart from the city proper , Into
which bhipi mi ; lit como and go nt will ,
bringing r.uv materials to bo manufactured

Into which machinery could ulso come at

cinl Interests of the city In general , or that
part of It sot aside as a free port , would bens
ns free from Import duties and commercial
laws of the country as if they were con
ducted on the banks of England's Clydo. A
canal marked the line upon one side
of which thu customs , duties , ota , were
effective , while upon the other they
were as free ns could bo imunined. The ope
ration of Hamburg's free port has been vcrv
satisfactory. Tlio city has grown immensely.
A very largo foreign trade 1ms noon culti
vated. The raw materials como in frco , ami
nlso machinery for the manufacture. The
work Is Uono by natives , who spend most o :
their money for articles which pay duties
The operatives and proprietors live mostly litho
the protective part of the city , pay taxo <
and are subject to the laws of Germany. Tbo
civil authorities control the free port portloi
of Hamburg tttosamons the other portion.
Whenever It is desired tn sell any of the
articles manufactured at the free port they
go through the hands of the customs oflleors
the same as if they had been Imported. A
wall or canal surrounds all of Unit portion o
the free port not exposed to navigation , so
that it Is no onslor to smuggle than It wouli
bo at any other port. .

It Is proposed to pass a law by congros1

AV.istiixnTOV , D. C. , April 7. The llrst
questions asked Commissioner Unum today
jy Mr. Knloo in the pension ofllco Investiga
tion related to matters connected with the
endorsement of n note by George B , Lemon.
I'bo commissioner refused to answer the
questions nnd Mr. Enloo then , over thoob-
octlon of Counsel Payson , put in evidence
: ) art of Iho testimony on the suojoct , Mr.
Gnloo asked If the completed flies order had
not resulted in the passage of 10,003 of Mr.
Lemon's cases. Mr. Enloo nlso asked if Mr.
Lemon had not loft Washington for Europe
immediately after this investigation was
ordered.
Mr. Haum said ho had no personal knowl
edge as to when Mr. Lotnon wont abroad ,
but had hoard that since the Investigation
bad begun ho had gene to Europo.
Mr. Etiloo asked if Mr. Lemon had not
gone without any other notice to his em
ployes than a note announcing tbat ho wns
going to Europo.
Mr. liaum replied that bo know nothing
about the mnttnr.
Mr. Enloo next asked If Kaum had yet
paid the note indorsed by Mr , Lomon.
It tViis 1'rlvatu llusliu-KB.
The commissioner sold that was prlvato
business and declined to answer.
A decided sensation was sprung when Mr.
Enloo nslted if the secretaries of congress
men over sold information cf the status of
claims to pension attorneys.
Mr. Kaum had a bundle of papers nnd was
evidently prepared for just this sort of thing
for ho produced them and read letters in
which the charge was made that bamuol H.
Horsey , private secretary ol Representative
Cooperof Indiana , had , through Hogan &Co. ,
of Kenton , O. , and H. C. 1'otls of Columbia ,
curried on quite a businojs of this sort ,
charging $3 for each claim. It , wns then
shown that Horsoy had called up these cases
on congressional slips signed by Representa
tive Cooper , ono of the prosecutors In the
Kaum caso. Horsey also worked for Mr.
Brookshiro of Indiana mid Mr. Gantz ot
Ohio , but it was not shown that Horsoy's
connection with them had boon the same ns
With Cooper.
There were , the commissioner said , a
thousand pensions nil over the northwest , in
which Horsey was involved. It was on this
matter that Mr. Lineweaver , whoso absence
has been frequently inquired about , had boon
engaged. The papers relating to the affair wcro
offered in evidence by Mr. Kaum , but have
not yet been admitted in evidence , Iho com
mittee desiring to examine Uersoy on the
matter. In effect the substance of them is
covered In a letter from the commissioner to
the secretary of the interior , dated April 5.
recommending Hersoy's discharge.
Information Oll'ercd lor Money.
The lettershows that on February U3 a re
port was received from J. G. Greene , a
supervising special examiner of the pension
oflico , with reference to a complaint received
from John K. Whittinghill of Indiana , for
merly of the -Ninth Kentucky volunteers.
In this comnlainf'Wlttinglilll said ho had ro ,
cclvod n letter from Kocan i"c Co. of IConton-
O. . saying tant for J.30 ho would furnish
Wittinchill the exact status of his claim nnd
the testimony necessary to it. Wb.ittingb.ill
asked if it was a fraud , if Kognu could fur
nish the information why could not
he ( Wittlnghlll ) get it from the pen
sion oflico without expense. Tno
papers show that on September Iti ,
of last year , the commissioner wrote
Whittinghill , saying that he was advised
upon what method Kpgau & Co. wcro
working und the position ot alfairs. and
naked him to forward ! to them , for which
the pension olllco would reimburse him.
This was done and on November ! ) Whitting
hill received a reply glvlmr him as full and
accurate a statement of his claim us if the
man had hold the papers before him.
Meanwhile the case had been put asldo to
ascertain what would como of It , and it
turned out that on November 11 the papers
in the c.iso wore called for by Horsey upon a
congressional slip of Representative Cooper
of Indiana. The commissioner's letter sa'd
that he did not know that it was any moro
than a coincidence and could not determine
whether there was any connection between
Hogan and the Cooper slip. So on Novem
ber S3 Whittinghill wns requested to correspond
spend with KoBiin & Co. relative to the claim
of Henry Bohrens of the Ninth Ohio in
fantry , the claim having been selected at
random.
On December 2'J the claim was called up by
Horsey on n congressional slip of Mr. Cooper
nnd wns carefully examined February IS ,
lb'J'4. ' Rogari , writing from Chicago , for
warded a ' status" of the claim.
How ilia CiistsVero Culled Up.
In the meantime the commissioner had re
ceived a letter dati-d December 'Ju' , 1S)1 ! ) , from
ox-Roprcsontalivo Williams of Ohio calling
attention to the fact that certain Ohio pen
sion nttornoys were having all their cases
called up lor status and reported upon by
llorsoy on Mr. Cooper's congressional blips.
The mat'.or was placed in Green wait's hands
and ho obtained from the olllco In which
Rogan had formerly worked a letter presum
ably containing thirteen copies of letters ro
tating to claims. Ouo letter gave n complete
status of the claims of Mw. Elizabeth Mof-
fott of ElUabothtown , Ind. , called up Octo
ber 17 , 1SU1 , on Mr. Cooper' ? congressional
slip.
slip.At
At Uroonwait's request Llnowoaor was
appointed to assist him. in Ohio ho took
thu depositions of J. C. C'anficld , John Arm
strong and D. V , Uurst. Ho Uo took those
ot John F. Morgan of Bloomington , Ind.
These papers , the commissioner's letter said ,
showed that Horsoy had secured information
on pension claims through A. M , I'eel and
that Horsoy and ho wcro brought together
by Cooper , who had boon acting under Mr.
Compton when the latter was postmaster nt
Columbus , Ho was related to Cooper by
nmrrlago nnd was a confidential tnun and
chief cleric of Murrinir & Slnsher , pension
nttornoys , Pool furnished Grconwalt with
several original letters received from Horsey
giving reports of the status of the cases.
Tbo plan was , the commissioner said , that
Rogan wrote to pension attorneys mid claim
ants nnd secured their business nnd for
warded It to Peel who , in turn , corresponded
with Hersoy , who used the slips of certain
members of contross whom ho represented
ns their clenr , Hersoy drew too cases nnd
ascertained their status , nna the foes were
divided between Hersoy , Peel nud Rogan ,
The deposition of James I1. Morgan ot
Bloomington , Ind. , shows that ho was taken
to Hersoy's ofllco by Mr , Cooper , and Intro
duced to Hersoy , and Informed that "If ho
had anything worth paying for Htrsoy will
attend to it for you. " Morgan testified that
after his return homo ho wrote to Mr ,
Cooper , forwarding a Hat of twenty-live
esses , In which ho desired tholr status , the
letter closing : "I will pay such compensa
tion as la proper for the. status ot these
claims Would have written to Horsey , but
I did not got his address , "
The letter , the commissioner ( > nvs , wns
turned over to Hersoy , who acknowledged
its receipt , and on February 48 , 18U , ' , for
warded u statement of the status of a num
ber of claims nnd udded , "state what you
consider a reasonable amount for compensa
tion. I shnil bo glad to correspond with you
further with a view to our mutual interest.
For thcio statements I send you remli
what you think a fair compensation for the
labor involved , "
Ten Dollar * n Cliilm.
Subsequently tlO per claim was agreed
upon. Morgan states that niter receiving
torsoy's letter ho wrote to Uoopor and ro-
nlttoJ.
March 5 Morgan received a letter from
lorsoy fora sottlemorjtand closed by saying
hat ho desired to lmpros < t on him the fact
that the Information ; was to bo treated as
confidential.
Mr , Morgan testified that on March \ \ Mr.
Cooper wrote him , returning the $25 nnd
said ! "From youf letter It seems you hnvo
sent the money to pay him ( Horsoy ) for call-
ng up cnsos. Ot course , Jim , I cannot allow
vou to pay Horsey for that kind of work. He
s In my service , tind It is only as my socro-
: ary that the work can bo done for you. I
lave never received nor knowingly i.llowod
nny ono connoctoJ.-witn mo to charge a cent
for that Ulnd pf Work not oven a postage
stamp. " .
Before closihg the letter ho called atten
tion to another matter , namely , a letter re
ceived some mouths nco from Henry Holt of
Indiana , stating that ' Mnrrmp , Slushnr&Co. ,
early In ISS'J ' , had . 'printed about liO.Ul'O con-
gresslonal call sUoa on which wns n fao
simile of the slRiiaUIro ot Mr. Cooper ,
[ iriiitcd with his consent nnd approval ,
i'ho letter nlso said that In 1880.
these calls from Marring & SlushlUfer
on Air. Cooper's ' slips became so numerous
that General Black directed that they bo
thrown In the waste basket. Under commis
sioner Tanner about U.OOO of them were re
ceived , and Tanner directed that they bo de
stroyed nnd that Marring & Slujhr-r bo re
strained from Issuing the slips.
Attention is called to n communication from
C. E. Fete of Kulamazoo , Mich. , of March 5
last , stating that for $15 ho secured a complete -
ploto status ot five pension claims from
Charles T. Kogan & Co. , which Peel nnd
Horsoy called up' on congressional slips ,
Fete corresponding with thorn to expose
them. On March. 10 Fete received a letter
from Kogan & Co. announcing tholr retire
ment from the pension business. '

armed with a Wincnestor and n pair of nix-

was stepped In the east oud of the Union
Pacific yards. To that point a frouh
cnulno was sent , no ono being al
lowed in the meantime to visit the cars ,
not oven tno oilers. At various points in the
city some fifteen or twenty prominent stock
men , it Is said , were picked up unit the party
then steamed for Caspar , which Is on the
Northwestern road in National county nnfl
about twenty mlles north of horo. ,

been complete , for in a vcrv short tlmo and
before daylight , Wednesday morning , all the
teams were hooked up , the horses saddloct
nnd the purtv had disappeared in a westerly
diioctioii. The train steamed back to Orln
Junction , and after n short stop thorc , returned -
turned to Choycnno last night.

had begun to llont about , but these wcro , for

later in Douglas by the inlormnllou that
railroad surveying party had invaded the
country for work , the main object boliif ;
the capture of certain mountain
passes along tbo proposed transconti
nental lino. This afternoon the Information
mation was circulated in the northern
towns to tlio effect that an armed force had
entered Johnson county with the expressed
intention of cleaning out tbo rustlers and
that this is but ono of three expeditions
which are operating In the otato and sucti
points as booms most necessary. The ex
citement in that section is intense , but as to
whether or not any intention of the move
ment Inn reached Johnson county nobody
can yet discover.
