"WAsntN-OTOX , D. O. , July 27. The scene
in tbo house today was one of excitement
nnd anxiety. The fight over the World's
fair amendments to the sundry civil appro-
nrlatlon bill was oxpoctoJ , and tbo contest-
mils were ready for the fray. Neither sldo
wns confident , although the friends of the
measure claimed that the clwncoi were In
Ihelr favor. Brlot remarks were made by
Mr. Carutn ( who formerly voted against tbo
proposition ) , Mr. Bowers , Mr. Houk of
Ohio nnd Mr. Hopkins ot Illinois lu favor
of thoanproprlatlon. Then came u vote on n
proposal to reduce tbo appropriation to $5 ,
nd this was voted down by a decisive
majority. The friends of the measure were
Slated. It was by no moans a test vote , but
It wns ono which showed a largo attendance.
What they feared was the lack of a quorum ,
Then oamo the vote on the receding agree
ment lo the senate amendment , and the
friends of the measure were successful. But
tbolr jay was short-lived. Mr. Holman
moved a reconsideration , and this motion af
fording a basis for filibustering was fol
lowed" by dilatory motions until tha hour of
adjournment.
World's Pair Amendments.
'
The house nrococded to the consideration
of the World's fair amendments to the sun
dry civil appropriation bill.
Mr. Curutb of Kentucky made ono of his
characteristic humorous speeches in favor of
the appropriation.
Mr. Bowers of California said that nino-
tonthi of all the people of California were in
favor of the World's fulr nnd In favor of
congress making a generous appropriation la
old of tha exposition ,
Mr. Houk of Ohio quoted from the orig
inal law to glva force to his argument that
It. was incumbent on congress to make the
appropriation.
Air."Hopkins said that all the gentlemen
who bad argued against the proposition had
had a pleasant word forCbicago. They spoke
In pralsa of thu International exposition , yet
every ono of them attempted to assassinate
tbu national character of the enterprise nnd
reduce it to a municipal affair. Congress
ought not now to refuse to appropriate tbo
inonov.
Mr. McMIllln of Tennessee spoke in oppo
sition to tha appropriation , basing his oppo
sition on tbo depleted condition of tbo trcas-
urv.
urv.Tha debate then closed.
Tha speaker stated that the senate amend
ments would bo read In order nnd ho would
rocognlzo tha gentleman from Indiana ( Mr.
Holman ) to mnko any motion ho desired
relative to thorn. If the previous question
was ordered they would not bo amendable.
Should the demand for the previous question
. „ bo-votod down a motion to adjourn would bo
In order.
Anil the L'lglit Commenced.
t. . On motion of Mr. Holrmm the house In-
. Blstpd on. Its disagreeing to uiiof , them.
Tlicc came the nmondmcntapproprmtinp $5-
000,000 , nnd with It came the flcht. Tnoro
was mi amendment pending to It , olTured by
Mr. Bankbcad of Alabama , striking out tbo
\voru "million , " thus luuving tto appropria
tion nt$3 , This wns lost by the decisive
vote of yeas , 77 ; nays , 141 ; and tbu friends
of tha appropriation wore jubilant , not that
it wns a test vote , but because It showed a
largo attendance of the members.
Mr. tloldian of Indiana then moved tbat
tbo honso Insist on its disagreement to tha
senate amendment.
Pending which Mr. Blngham of Ponnsyl-
tnnla moved 'that the house roccdo from Its
disagreement , and on this motion the yeas
and nays were ordered. Then thcro was a
Tery brief outcropping of n filibustering ten
dency.
Mr. Holman moved to reconsider tbo vote
by which the yeas and nays were ordered.
Tellers -.vcro ordered on his motion , but before
fore the vote was completed howltndrow the , ,
motion.
The vote wns then taken on Mr. Hlngham's
motion to recede. As tbo call processed
thtro was every symptom of Interest mani
fested by the members. Mwiy of them
ltc p . tally and the space In front
of the speaker's desk was crowded
with members discussing the prospect
nnd watching every response with eager
Interest. When the clerk finished tbo callIng -
Ing of the roll , It was noised around thut the
ir.otiun had secured a majority of nearly
twenty. Mr. llolmnn Immediately changed
his vote from negative to the affirmative" In
order that ho might bo entitled to move a re-
consideration. Several votes were with
drawn and the speaker finally declared the
motion carried bv a vote of yeas , 117 ; nays l ,
103.

WASHINGTON , i > . C. , July 87. A very In-
foresting iliitoKUO | took place in tbo ecnnto
today between Senator HUcockof Now Ynrk
aud Senator JUackburu of Kentucky. The '
origin of it was a bill , Introduced early in
ttio itiutiloii by thu Kentucky senator , author-
Jtlnif thu ciiustruotlon of a bridge ueroi.5 orho
Hudson river at Now York city. That bill
jiad b eu oppc. oit at all Its sUge * by the
Mow York senator , nnd when It was taken
from the calendar today by n majority of
eight , In spite of tbo efforts of Mr. Hlscock ,
that senator mada some satirical remarks
about the appropriateness of the senator
from Kentucky taking charge ot a measure
affecting tbo Interests of two great states ,
while the two senators from Now Jersey and
ono ol the senators from Now York wore ab
sent. Mr. Blackburn defended his course ,
assorting that Senator Hill and ono of the
New Jersey senators were In fuvor of the
bill , and Intimating that If the state of New
York should need the services of Mr. His-
cock ho would have to hurry up , because
that gentleman would soon coato to held n
seal In tha senate. Hut Hiscock , nftor an
expression of regret that such a feeling found
lodgment In Blackburn's mind , carried his
point by holding the floor until the morning
hour expired , when tbo bill , lo which ho was
opposed , took its place again on the calendar.
Anil.Option Kill.
Three speeches voro mode today on the
nntl-optioii blli. The first wai made by Mr.
Coke , who nssallod It for Its unconstitution
ally , but advocated the substitute offered on
behalf of himself , Mr. George and Mr , Pugb ,
Mr. Mitchell , n member of tbo judiciary
committee , from which the bill was reported ,
raado n legal argument In support of Its con
stitutionality.
Mr. Palmer argued agalnst.tho bill , as an
'
evasion of'tho pollco rights of the states.
No attempt wns made lo have n vote on
Mr. Wolcott's motion to refer tbo bill to tbo
committee on finance , and when Mr. Wash-
burn asked unanimous consent to hnvo a tune
fixed ( perhaps tomorrow ) for taking the
final vote on tbo bill und pending amend
ments , a vary prompt and determined ob
jection was Interposed by Mr. Wblto.
For snmo weeks past numerous petitions
have boon presented in the senate and re
ferred to the committee on foreign relations
in reference to the imprisonment In England
of Dr. Thomas Gallagher. Today Mr. Sher
man , chairman of tbat committee , remarked
tbat the commlttoo did not know what tbo
legislative department of tbo government
had to do with the question.

create a national highway commission and
to prescribe Its duties , was taken from the

WASHINGTON , D. C. , July 'J7. I
Uiproscntatlro Kom has amazed every
body In Washington by becoming the ataunch
suoportor of railroad Inlorosts. Tbo other
day ho voted In favor of the Compton bill
Incorporating the Maryland & vVashlngton
railroad lu which was n provision allowing
the company to bond the road to the c/ctont
of 10 per cent above its cost. The sonata ,
when tt subioqcntiy passed the bill ,
amended it so as to limit tbo
binding to the actual cost of con
struction. When tno bill want back to tbo
house Nebraska's "roforrnor" voted against
the sonata amendment and again to allow the
stock to bu "watered" to the amount ot 10
per cent , and again when the bill granting
the Ualvoston road right of way through the
Indian Territory was before the house , Mr.
Kom voted for it with a provision allowing
the company to charge for passenger faro
S3 per tent higher than the roads in Nebraska
can charge. The other alliance members of
tno house nro aghast at the action of Mr.
Kom and can't understand It
Disgusted With llolmnn.
It Is conceded on all sides tonight that Hoi-
man's opposition to tbo World's fair appro
priation has given that proposition ranowod
strength and the majority it developed la
the house today. JMoarly overv member of
the house t.s so disgusted with Ilolman's general -
oral policies and palpable cheap demagogy
tbat they nro lad by Intuition to
take the opposite sldo of whatever ho advo
cates or opposes. Had tt not boon for his
Hgbt against the World's fair appropriation
it would have been easily defeated today.
There IB not an Indiana democrat In Waih-
ington tonight but tbatoponlycondemns Hol-
tnan and his methods , whatever they may
thinK of the Issuonuw before the houso. His
Insincerity was never so disgusting as In
this house and no member was over so rebuked -
bukod as ho has boon today.
Senator ruddock's Position *
Senator Paddock refuses to worry bim-
s elf over the apparent attempts recently
made In some quarters of Nebraska to ques
tion bis republicanism. I showed him this
afternoon two clippings from state papers ,
.vbich . assailed him vigorously for his vote
in agreeing to the conference report on the
Mclvlnloy bill nnd bis attitude toward tha
Jg
Stewart silver bill which recently passed
t .ho ; senate. Tbo senator said : "The parties
ivho are criticising my action on these two
economic questions will find it very diffi
cult to drive mo out of the republican party.
I have never but once voted anything but
the republican ticket , ana for fifteen years
have voted an open ticket at the polls. I
Jr a republican and In line with republican
policy , as I have always boon. I bavo re
served to myself , what Is the right of every
republican , the right to Htrugglo for my own
interpretation of pirty declarations on * cer
tain economic questions , but I have always
wPmm'VtiSso ' doclaratlo'ns weooundcd.
' Did I vote analnst the McKlnloy bill !
Certainly not ; I fought with a united west
to bavo that bill as it came from tbo house
modified In accordance with the tariff plank
of tbo republican platform of 18S3 and aided
In securing material changes In the bill as It
nassnd the senate. I voted for , Instead of
against , the bill as It left the senate , nnd
when it was returned from the conference
committee did my best to have it drawn Into
a second confercuca in order that further
modifications In the line of western demands
might bo raado. Had 1 received tbo expected
republican support a second conference
would , I am certain , have given the country
a bill oven raoro satisfactory than that which
became a law.
Ilia Conrad"was Approved.
'My efforts on this Jtno received tbo on-
courugsrnent aud approbation of the most
distinguished and eminent living republi
can. 1 do not need to mention his name. I
have no npoloclos to offer for my position
and work on tho. McKinley bill. I was in
fuvor generally of the bill 'but desired cer
tain modlBcatlons which I bellovo to bo for
the interests of our section. 1 placed myself
clearly on record as a staunch protectionist
hut 1 did not and do not bollovo that loyalty
to protection necessarily require ? mo to take- ,
as tbo proper measure of protection , the
views of sanatoria ! associates not as well
fitted as myself to know how their applica
tion would'nffeet my section. I am for the
bill now as It stands until a republican congress -
gross can improve it. "
"How about ellvcH" .
"I was paired on the final passage of the
silver bill , " said tbo senator. "If ray pair ,
Senator Gibson , bad been present I should
have voted against the bill as It wn finally
formulated. What I favored nnd voted for
and should vote for again was tbo substitute
proposed which provided for the coinage of
tbn American product , I felt , however , that
owing to the pending International monetary
conference a delay in the tlmo nt which the
bill should go into effect would bo advisable
and so voted for Senator Allison's amend
ment postponing the .date , and afterwards
offered two amendments myself on the sumfi
lino. I felt thnt'tho free coinage of the pro
duct of American mines would bo a far better
tor solution of the silver problem than the
present law , which Is m-ovlng unsatisfactory
to both camps. I bad reason to believe that
uch n bill would moro nearly bavo mot
tbo views of the Treasury department
and the administration In the I < Iftv-llrst
congress than the mcasuro which became n
law. But I did not approve the silver bill
as it linallv passed , for which I am accused
of voting , und bud Senator Ulbaon been
present should hnvo votnd against It. So much
forsllvor. llut I confess 1 have boon lee
much occupied in looking uftor tbo material
Interests of my constituents to make politics
n specialty. My rule 1ms boon business first
and politics afterwards. "

tbo World i > ays : Washington Nathan , the
mojt central figure in the famous Nutbun
murder case , died In tbo night nt Boulogne.
During the last week of his Hfo'bo told over
nnd over again his oxvn utory ol the death of
bis father. In his rational , ns well as his
Irrational , moments ho kept repeating , "My
poor father ! my poor father ! " The events
of thut awful mgbt soomcd to huvo never
loft his mind.
Ho was a gay young tblood at tbo tlmo of
the murder , "but changed very , much uftor
tbat. Ho lived almost constantly outsldo of
America. Ho hud plenty of money nt first
and drank freely. Ho bru * 41 years old at
tbo tlmo of bis death. Ho married a relative
of Mupleson. too impraiiiirio. Here Is what
ho suld of the murder in bis last moments :
"Jt had been n terribly stormy night ;
memorably so , oven bad it not been for tbo
crlmo which stamped It upon the publlo
wind. On returning home , after seeing
tnat tbo house was clo d , 1 went straight to
my room and to bod. The house had boon
undergoing repairs. It .Is my theory that
tbo murderer entered the house during the
day while workmen were there. A cere
mony wus to lake place1 early next morning
In the synagogue. I had been Instructed to
wake my fulhur so that tbo old man , who
was regular In his ntteudunco ana devout ,
might bo present ,
"It wus 0 o'clock when I entered my
father's room. I found him on the floor murdered -
dorod , and It was I wb'o gave the alurm by
going to a window uud culling. I afterwards
summoned my brother , who lifted the body
and placed It on tbo bed. thereby covering
himself ivlth blood. No blood could over bo
found on any of my clothes ; " said tuo dying
man , "yet people say i killed him. My poor
father I my poor father ) Nothing wai inUs-
Ini ; except a few small diamonds nnd several
unimportant objects of jewelry , woitb in all
about 100. "
Nathan loaves two brothers older than
himself ana onu younger. It was his dying
wish to see Now York again ana his body
will bo placed In a receiving vault und flu ally
taken tojXovv York for burial.

nominate candidates for the legislature and
for county attorney will bo hclil In Hastings
Saturday. So far there has baon no strife
nor contention for the nominations among
the republicans who have boon motilloned us
eligible for preferment. The general senti
ment Is in favor of nominating tbo cleanest
nnd best mon , not only for the county but
ulsoon tbo stnto ticket. Whoever may bo
named , the cholco Will bo ncqulusced in nnd
n united effort made for the party's advance
ment.
The Independent county convention Is lo
bo hold ths same dav , but hero the resem-
bianco ceases. Tboro Is n wild scramble for
nominations nnd an Interesting contest maybe
bo expected over the attempt cl a quartet
of "ruta or ruin" politicians to own the party.
Harmony will bo a missing virtue.
Later in the season the democrats will
nominate their ticket. It Is probable that
the nomination for the state legislature will
bo tendered to Colonel H. U. WnhtauUt.
editor of the Hastings Democrat , who bus
for some time been laboring throuch his
paper to psrsuada bs party to discard all
the McKelghans und to nomlnrao u straight
democratic ticlcoU But it is doubtful If bo
would accept the nomination oven If given
him. Two years ago ho was the democratic
candidate for state auditor , and Is now
understood to have no ambition for political
preferment.
The prohibitionists cxosct to place n full
ticket In the Hold , but they have not even a
forlorn hope.
Hon. W. E. Andrews , candidate for mem

WORRINGMAN AND HIS WAGES
Themes Discussed Before a Mooting ol
Carpenters Last Night.
REV. JOHN WILLIAMS GIVES HIS IDEA
Secretary Kent of the Carpenter *
Descitnt * on the Mtccxally or United Ao
tlou mill Concerted Comldoru-
tlon l > y the
The mass meeting which was given tindoif
the nuspices of the Unllcd Brotherhood ol
Carpenters and Joiners nt Washington hall
last oreiilng was not as well attended us at-
lairs of that kind usually are In Omnha.
Not over fifty persons were In the lull I whoa
the mooting was called to order , but they
were buftlclont to develop considerable en
thusiasm nnd the mooting was an Interesting
ono IK splto of the threatened rain. A num
ber of women were scattered through the
audience and they scorned nUeiitlvo listeners.
Mr. \ \ . 1) . Musscr was chairman and
stated that the mooting was called lu the In
terests of orgaulzod labor. The subject of
labor organization was the principal theme
ot the speaker * and politics were scarcely
mentioned.
Uov. John Williams was tbo lli-st speaker
and his brief address was well received. lie
took the ground that the oiganizatlon oi
labor should bi for tbo purpose of preventIng -
Ing stnUcs nnd serious dlftlcuUtos between
no laboring men nntl their employers und
lot to institute thrm. There was too much
attention paid to the amount of wages. I'lva '
dollars a dnv was no bettor thnn J2 , pro
vided that tbo latter amount woula pur
chase as much as the former. Wbattho laborIng -
Ing classes wore entitled to was a fair pro
portion of the earnings of their labor , and tba
primary purpose of organization was to find
out how muoU that was , If a man received )
$1 n day moro on account or a high tariff :
und It cost htm that much more for bis living ;
ho was not a gainer. The result of a thorough
organization of labor was to enublo tbo wnga
earners to arrlvn at conclusions of their own
upon these great questions nnd to govern
their actions accordingly. Ono great Uilll-
eulty encountered was the different imtiohnl-
'tlos represented In tbo rnnks of American
nuor. It was difficult to amulgnmalo nil
tbc.so puoplo into ono compact and united or- .
gamzation. This could only be accomplished
by uu.sulllsh devotion to the cause and per-
sovcrunco In working for Its success.
Secretary Kent on thn Cnimc.
The chairman then Introduced Air. S. J.
Cent , secretary of thn gonorul executive )
committee of the Carpenters union. Mr.
ICcutsuid that the object of labor organiza
tions was to alloviutu misery and to promote *
the common good of the people. Eternal
vltlganco was the prlco of liberty , and the
laboring classes bad not so much something
to gain at something to retain , The history
ot the world showed that the middle classes
wcru most prosperous at tha times when
their moral ascendency was most marked. It
was necessary for tbo laboring classes to
stand shoulder to shoulder to protect their
rights and those of their families. And the
speaker referred to the history of labor In
various ages to show that when they uez-
leoto'd to stand up for their privileges and
allowed the wealth to accumulate in tbo
hands of a tow the position of tbo masses
was rendered iiiEouuro and their rights were
educated and made to understand tbo ro-
suonsiblllties of their position. If this was
neglected it was of no use to curse tbo
capitalists. Tbo masses themselves were
responsible for the result.
Different organizations had different
methods , but they were all working far the
tn no end. The speaker belonged to various
different organizations , but bad never found
that his duty lo one conflicted with his fealty
to another. It was oolicvcd by sotno that by
orgamzlug each trade separately moro could
bo accomplished than by uniting the entire
laboring classes in ono organization. Tha
Knights of Labor thought that all wago-
workers should bo organized in a slnglo
united body , but this difference of opinion
would not prevent all organizations from
working harmoniously together ,
rititiulinff In Their Own rlclit.
Ono creat dlfllculty In tbo organization of
the laboring classes was their own prejudices.
Some had Ideas so deeply rooted that they
could not bo raado to agree upon a broad ]
prlneinlo that might conllict with thole
prejudices.
It was on co assorted that wages could not
bo raised unless capital increased in a corro-
spending ratio. But the labor organizations
had exploded that theory long ago. They
bad provoa that a benefit , to the laborer
meant a corresponding benefit to the om-
plover. An increase in wages meant
an Increase in tbo vrants ot
the laborer. They were enabled
to dross their families better , to beautify
their homes nnd to enjoy moro of the lux
uries of life. An Increased consumption
meant lu bettor market , and ultimately the
additional compensation given to the laborer
found Its way back to enrich the capitalist.
_ JKua object of organized labor should bo to
teach the people that character was the first
olumctit of manhood. To muko success cor-
tain tuny should endeavor to mane them.
solves better. In many cases women and
children WCTO employed In factories. They
were thcro because the labor organizations
jiud failed to do tliclr duty. Ijinployora
should be mono to nay their men enough so
that the women and children would bo nblo
to stay nt homo. It was getting so that the
women worked whllo tbo mon walked tbo
streets. In n largo city tbo streets were
lined every morning with women who were
oliig to their dally toll. It was enough to
make every man who had a spark of man
hood In him realize that ho had a worlc to do.
Women mill Clillilrim lit Work.
The speaker quoted a report covering
tlnrty-uvo mills In the south , whoro. ho said ,
nnlv H40 man were oinulovcd as against l.2'.l ! ! '
wonor. : and IWl children. The men received
K > nems n day on an average , the women
17'i cents , and children ! J7 ! . This wui for
mi average day's ' work of eleven and ono-
half houra. It was to correct such abuses as
this tbut labor bad banded Itself together.
Thcro were very few sober men who did not
realize that a revolution was coming unless
tbo masses were educated to a juit opproola- .
tlon of tbo rights of all men. Just as soon
an a man was brought to think ho bncami
ono of Um safeguards of tbo frco Institu

Many people have oondoinnod tbo labor
