DNpoilllon of thn A nil-Option
Thin UYek.
WASHINGTON , D. C. , Jan. 2 ! ) . The most
notable event of the week In congress will
probably bo the dls | osltlon of Iho anti-option
bill In the senate. By an agreement , the
final f vote upon the hill will bo taken nt 3
o'clock ( Tuesday. It will then , in all proba
bility , bo sent back to the house with Its many
amendinenls , an entirely different measure
from the original Hatch bill that passed that
body.
The first two annual appropriation bills
are on the calendar of the senate , the army
bill and the fortifications hill , and It is ex
pected that the District of Columbia appro-
prlatlon bill will bo added to the list early In '
the week. It la the expectation of the man
agers to also patch tit ) the Cullom bill ,
changing the Interstate commerce bill to
meet recent decisions. As Introduced , this
bill contained the important "pooling"
clause , which was afterward stricken out
by the committee on n very close vote , and It
is possible that an effort will bo made when
the bill is under consideration in the senate
to restore this provision to the bill.
The house loaders intend to keep at work
on the appropriation bills to the exclusion of
all other business. As soon as the sundry
civil bill Is passed , the general deficiency ,
the consular and diplomatic , the military
academy , the pension and thopostofllce bills ,
all of which are now on the calendar , will betaken
taken up , probably In the order named and
sent over to the senate.
There should not be much delay In passing
the first of these bills , unless an attcmpl to
exploit the condition of the treasury should
involve the house in n general financial
debate. The pension and postofllco supp.y
bills are quite likely to bo the subject of con
siderable discussion , owing to some radica
changes in methods proj > osed by the former
bill and to heavy Increases of appropriations
proposed by the latter bill.
The passage of those bills will leave only
three of the appropriation bills unacted on
by the houso. Two of these bills , the Indian
and the agricultural , are expected to be re
ported before these measures now on the
calendar are out of the way. The naval bill
should follow close on their heels , its delay
having been due to a desire to htiow the con
dition of Iho treasury before commencing the
construction of additional war vessels.
The separate order for the Androw-C.ito
banking and silver purchase repeal bill ,
which the committee on rules has agreed to
report , may bo brought In during the week ,
but It Is not Intended to call It up until the
morning of the day on which it is to go in
operation February 0 so that this fight Is
elf for more than a week.

Could the grave have given up its dead
the friends of William Hronsloy Austin
would , not have been any tuoro surprised
than they wore yesterday when they learned
that ho was an Ininatu at the county poor
farm , and that ho had been n ward lit that
Institution for nearly two weeks.
William Bronsley Austin , bolter known as
Hilly Austin , was'ono of the oldest station
ary engineers In the city , and was considered
one of the best. Ho came to Omaha some
eighteen years ago and for a long time was
Hie head engineer on the Tiger , a boat that
operated between the head waters of the
Missouri river and St. Louis. Then ho wont
ant aim drove a locomotive on the Krle road ,
> ut not liking railroading * ho returned
nd again found , employment upon
i steamboat , all of the tlmo keeping
its eye on Omaha. After the town
grew to such an extent that steam plants
voro brought in , ho quit the river and went
o running stationary machines , working for
onto of tlio bent linns and corporations in
ho city. During the latter years of his resi
dence in Omaha ho has made himself quite
amous by writing for mag.i/.Ines wnlch dc-
oted their space to discussing the appliea-
lon of.ateam. One of his articles , entitled
'Tho Sliding Valve , " was copied cxtcn-
ilvely both in this country and In Europe.
When the association of stationary ongl-
icors held its national convention In this city
wo years ago Austin was ,111 editorial
vritor on the daily publication that was is-
mod and as such ho won quite , a reputa-
ion.
Ho Suddenly Disappeared.
Last fall when the ofllcials moved into the
now city hall , Mayor Deinis appointed Austin
engineer of the building , giving him full
charge and control of the steam and heating
> lant. Ih. this capacity ho served until the
alter part of the year , when without giving
my notice , natoiidcroJhisrcslgnaiion.whlch
was accepted by the city council on Deccm-
> er 0. On that evening , after eating his
supper , he bade his wife and two toys good-
) ye , put on his overcoat and left his home in
, ho north part of the city , saying that ho
vas going to attend the council mooting. Ho
lid not return that night , hut as there was a
> li/zard ! thn members of the family did not
'eel uneasy , thinking that he had remained
'n the city.
Ho did not return the next day , and his
'rlends wore notified. Search was insti
tuted , but it was fruitless. Austin had dls-
ippcared as ithough swallowed up by the
iarth. For days this search was continued
> y tno members of the family and by the
Members of the secret orders to which ho
iclonged. Finally when it was discovered
; hr.t no trace of the missing man could be
'ound ho was given up for dead , the opinion
jemg that ho had wandered away in a lit of
temporary insanity and possibly had been
Irowned in the river. With public opinion
liolding that view of the case , nothing more
was thought of the matter until yesterday
when TUB BRK located Austin at the county
) oor farm , where ho has been since January"
18 , and where ho is known as William Brens-
y.
Arrested and Culled In nil no.
The blotter at the central | > olico stalion
shows that near the hour of midnight on
December 0 , Officer Kissano was patrolling
South Thirteenth street , below Farnum , and
as he was making his rounds ho met a man
who acted in a peculiar manner. The indi
vidual was arrested and takento the city
jail , where ho gave his name as William
Brensloy. Ho was booked as having "snakes , "
and the city physician was called. After
making au examination the doctor decided
that the man should bo sent to the county
Jail. The next day he was carted up the hill
and looked in the county Jail where ho con
tinued to bo an inmate until January 18 ,
when the Insanity commission passed UDOU
the case und ordered the patient to the
county poor farm , holding that ho was in
sane.
Yesterday morning Tun Bn'c learned of
the facts as above stated , and a reporter at
once visited the institution , asking to bo
allowed the privilege of seeing Brensloy.
Superintendent Mahoney ushered the man
in the parlor of the county building , and
after shaking hands , the remark , "How are
you , Austin ? " was made.
Austin stared vacantly around Iho' room
for a moment and In a manner that indi
cated that reason was completely dethroned ,
responded : " 1 don't know you and I guess
that you are on the wrong track this time. "
Ho Faintly Ilomomliercd Austin.
Old times wore talked over , the poor fellow
continually declaring that he was William
Brensley. and that in his younger days ho
know William Austin , "but , " ho continued ,
"tho poor fellow Is dead now. He was a
good friend of mluo and wo were raised boys
together , both having the same godfather ,
William Brensley. Ho took the nauiO" of
William Brensloy Austin and I the name
William Brensley. "
When asked how ho happened to get into
tBo poor house , Austin declared that on the
night of December ( > ho came to the city
over the Union Paciflo on his way to Mem
phis , wliero ho was going to take a position
on a Mississippi river steamboat. Ho
stopped off at the depot and was on his way
up town , when he was met by three men ,
who robbed him of ? 'JO , a watch and his
overcoat , and then i-.m away. Ho states
that ho followed them until ho mot a police
man. The officer stopped him , told him that
he was crazy , and took him to jail. After
that ho remembers that ho was examined by
Dr. Tlldcn and sent to the county Jail , where
ho remained until ho reached the poor faun.
Since then ho states that every one has pro
nounced him insane , but ho declares that ho
is not , and that he is kept In the institution
that the relatives of Austin may secure
some valuable property thai was left to him
in Ireland upon the death of his father.
Upon every subject except the one regard
4ng his connection with Austin ho talks as
rationally as any man can , but when that is
brought up ho declares that Austin is dead
and that ho is William Breusloy.
County Agent Mahoney said that when
the man was lirst taken to the poor farm
and placed in the insane ward ho thought
that ho lopkcd familiar , but as ho insisted
that his name was Brensley , ho paid but lit
tle attention to the matter , as now Insane
patients are placed In the institution every
day and not having boon well acquainted
with Austin ho did not recognize in him any
one that ho had over known.
Know Hilly Aunt III'M Itoyg.
After the reporter had talked with Austin
some time ho asked him if ho was married.
In answer ho replied that he was not , bul
that Bill Austin was before his death and
that ho had a couple of bright little boys.
"Would you Hko to see his wife and DoysT
was asked.
In reply ho said ho would like to see a to
one , as It would vary the monotony. Then
in n rambling conversation ho chatted aboul
Austin and his correspondence for the
mechanical papers , venturing the oplnlOi :
that Austin was a literary fellow who woult
havn made his mark if ho had been given
half a chance.
Shortly after this Mrs , Austin was notified
that her husband was at the poor farm
Hastily putting on her wraps and accompa
uled by her two little boys , she mado'her
way to the gloomy old building , hoping that
her presence might restore the mlnU of her
husband , but all of the fond hopes wcro
dashed to the ground ,
When the little party entered the room
Austin giued from ono to another and thei
in a low tone of voice he remarked' to Mr
Mahoney :
Ulil .Not Know 1IU Family.
"I wish youwould tell mo who these people
urol"
The scene was pitiful In the extreme. The
poor woman being unable to conceal her feel
ings , brokn down and wept like a child , whlh
the two llttlo boys looked Into the oycs o.
their father , hoping that ho would speak to
them.
Austin gazed on in astonishment am
, finally asked :
"What are these people crying about
There Is no reason why they shou'd ' cry for
no. " ' /1 /
Heeon'rlng her l-Amposurd to some extent ,
Irs. Austin asked :
"William , don't jm know mo ? "
Austin looked her straight In the oycs and
mill ! , T .
"I can't nay as I do.ihoimh you look some-
hlng as Bill AustilMfwIfd dkl the last time
hat I saw'hor , butjlu\t was years ago. No ,
nadatn , I can't say n * I recognize you. "
Ono of the ! ittlobUt } ) | went ui | tohls father
and putting his arms around his neck in-
[ Hired : _ _
"Papa , don't you know mo ? "
The i > oor man tmllho llttlo fellow from
ilm , and carefullyIsrrtitlnl/.lng his face ,
mswered : "YotiJooK something Hko Bill
Vustln's Iwy did Vho'last timo'that I saw
'ilm , but that was'yc ' irs and years ago. "
Once moro ho looked nt the boy , and
smilingsaid : "Yes , you are Bill's boy , but
> 'ou have changed so thai I would hardly
know you. "
Itwas apparent that the man's mind had
wandered , and all attempts to restore his
reason wore discontinued.
The wife and her two little ones retraced
their steps homeward , their every act in-
Heating that they were deeply bowed down
tvith grief , though there was a hope in their
) roasts Hint the insanity wiJs but tomiwrary
mil that In tlmo the husband and father
would again hj the respected citizen that he
md been In the pasl.
Onlynn Hilly Austin's I'rloml.
During the afternoon Walter B. Stark , the
engineer of Tin : 11 KB building , called ujwm
Austin , hoping that he could held an intelli
gent conversation with him , but U was the
tame old story. Although Austin had
mown Mr. Stark for years ho failed to rec-
ignlze him , and when asked : "Don't you re
number me ? " the Insane man looked off into
space and then inquired ; "Tho name ,
ilea.se ! "
"My name la Stark. Walter B. Stark , " an
swered Tun BCK engineer.
'
"Seems to mo tha'M have heard thai name
wine place , " said Austin , as ho dropped his
icad and went into a brown study. "Yes.
low I have it ; you was a friend of Bill Aus
tin and I have heard him speak of you. "
Dr. Brovoort , the house physician at
the poor farm , states that ho has given the
ease considerable attention and thai ho is
salislled that Austin Is much boiler than
when ho was admitted to the hospital. Ho
ilso states that he is of the opinion that if
10 is kept quiet that before many weeks his
reason will como back tis suddenly as it went
iway. The doctor declares thai Ihe case Is
exactly of Iho Clarkson typo and that the
most that is needed is quiet and rest.

PIBIIHB , S. D. , Jan. 29. [ Special to Tun
BEB. ] The skirmishing for position In the
irohlbltlon fight Is over , and from this time
out it is open war. The resubmlsslonists
iiavo from the beginning hold the key to the
situation by controlling the committees , and
they have deferred the struggle on the lloor
until they were assured of enough support
to pass the hill , When the legislators first
arrived In Pierre there was an apparent
majority of one or two In e.ich house for re-
submission. But the prohibitionists organ
ized their campaign shrewdly , And In a few
days the preponderance appeared to turn
their way. Thny did their work through
committees In either house , and thus pre
vented Jealousy. Every night saw a con
sultation tit which notes were compared and
the ground gone over carefully.
A few recruits were made and the leaders
became confident of success. They began to
be more open in their advocacy and to nress
forward threats of what they would do in
case the republicans granted re-submission.
But by the end of the second week they
found the tide turning against them. Their
recruits began to become doubtful and cold.
They summoned back Mrs. Cranmor , who
had loft , and Mrs. Simmons , the vice presi
dent of the Women's Christian Temperance
union. On their return they found the sen
ate Jest to them and the house still closo.
They attempted to recover the lost ground ,
but It was too late.
Agreed on I.oral Option.
The resubmlsslonists meanwhile had been
working hard and successfully. The argu
ment of the situation was with them and
they piled It continually. Their plea made
au impression. They showed that as a matter -
tor of party policy , of fairness to the people
of the state and ordinary political honor ro-
submlsslon could not be gainsaid. Finally
to make assurance sure and to show that
they wore not extremists , they agreed to
make the amendment not simply to throw
aside prohibition , but to substitute for it
local option by cities and towns. Should the
present bill pass those cities and towns which
wanted saloons , tint Is those towns where as
now prohibition is not enforced and cannotbc ,
may have the saloons , while those towns
which do not want them will do without.
This is .1 measure of Justice and must appeal
to the sense of fairness which underlies the
American system of rule by the majority. It
is not the old country local option which
caused so much dissatisfaction , bul municipal
local option , which has proven a great suc
cess wherever tried. There is no question
whatever thai a great majority of the people
of the state will favor it. It is a most happy
solution of the contest.
The fight will begin Monday and will be
pushed to a finish. The amendment comes
In the form of a Joint resolution requiring
but ono vote in each house and can thus bo
put through in much less time than a bill.
There is a safe majority in each branch for
It and unless some unforseen accident hap
pens It will be passed before many days go
by.

Senatorial Struggle In Wyoming Continues
to Look I.lkc u Deadlock.
CHEYENNE , Wyo. , Jan. 20. [ Special Tele
gram to THE Br.K.j The seiutorshlp fight
has developed Into a deadlock that , from
present appearances , will _ not bo broken
for some time. The republican vote appears
equally divided between Senator Warren
and Congressman Clark , with this difference
in their relative strenglh , that Clark could
got the entire vote of the parly should n
sufficient number of populists support him ,
while Warren could not get within four of
the full republican voto. State Senator
Hichards Is a strong republican candidate
for senator , but has apparently dropped out
of the race. Ho is lighting Warren tooth
and nail , and yesterday voted to unseat Tis-
dale , a Warren man. To him Clark would
bo acceptable if he concluded his own chance
of election was gone.
While this apparent light which could in a
moment bo resolved into complete harmony
is going on In the republican party there Is
the ilorccst kind of a batllo In progress In
Ih'o democratic column. Now the least able
and worthy of the democratic nominees has
succeeded by threats and cojolcry In gather
ing about him a sunlclcnt number of legis
lators to control a caucus. Ho has repeatedly
endeavorv'd to have a caucus held but the
members opposed to him refuse flatly to go
into one. The oilier democralio candidates ,
Holllday , Corn antl Beck say-iitlle , but ivro
working Hko beavers to draw from Now
some of his strength. Republicans generally
concede that a'dcmocrat or populist will bo
elected and the bolter class are anxious to
have the matter settled soon , though the
politicans care little how much the struggle
is prolonged as every day Is weakening the
democralio parly in Iho slato.
The populists alone are united and are in a
position to solve the question at any time
when it suits them and when the dcmocrals
unite upon a candidate acceptable to them.
They do not want Now as ho is supposed to
bo the Union Pacific candidate. They ore
averse to Beck and Baxter , both having
been In sympathy with the invasion. A se
lection of Corn or Holllday , who are in the
Held , or of Thompson or Beckwith who are
not avowed candidates would suit them.
Several ballots are expected to bo taken to
morrow.

TOI-EKA , Kan. , Jan. 2'J.--Tho republicans
have Just learned that they elected an United
States senator In the joint session of the two
houses last Wednesday. They claim that
none of the members of the populist house
were legally sworn in and consequently hail
no right to vote for senator ; that the state
senators , Including the populist members of
that body , together with the members of the
republican house , constituted a quorum of
the joint convention ; that Ady received sov- .
cnty-soven votes , or a majority of the
quorum , und that ho was , therefore , elected
senator.
Mr. Ady will bo furnished with credentials
signed by Speaker Douglass of Iho repub

senators , and will proceed at once to Wash
ington to claim the seat row occupied by
Senator Perkins and to which the populists
claim to have elected Judge John Martin ,

Ing the recent attack UPDII the British lega

"From private correspondence and from
an Interview with n gentleman who recently
arrived from Guatemala , 1 have learned
that the trouble has been greatly exagger
ated , and I therefore take ll upon myself to
rectify the matter. The trouble , ns It is re
lated , happened In the following milliner :
Thomas Wheeler , the British consul , left
Guatemala aUthe beginning of the month ,
on his way toSalama. The minister's eldest
son had been wounded at n plantation near San
Jeronlnio , whllo a shortdlstnnco from Guate
mala , by a mule , on which he rode , becoml'ig
unmanageable and falling on him. His vlb.t
were fractured , ono of them penetrating ono
of his lungs. Several days after the accl-
denl the minister started for the same loca
tion In order to Investigate how his son had
been Injured.
During that tlmo ono of the farmers at the
plantation approached the minister's resi
dence and the latter fired upon him , killing
him Instantly. The minister's son had gouo
to San .Icronimo to enjoy hi/vacation during
the holidays , and ono evening whllo in the
company of friends , ho visited the residence
of one of the farmers , who , without a word
of warning or reason , attacked him. On
being Informed of this , the British minister
made Inquiries of his sun and the latter telegraphed -
graphed to him and explained matters , at
the same time requesting him not to take any
action on the matter In his official capacity. "

Out 1'renent Ilimril of Directors
to lie lletnlned.
PiTTsnt'iio , Pa. , Jan. 20. F.ver since the
arrival of Mr. Andrew Carnegie from ICuropo
ho has been besieged by newspaper men for
au expression upon the recent troubles at
llome.itead , but ho steadfastly refused to bo
Interviewed. In conversation with the cor
respondent of the Associated proas this after
noon , however , Mr. Carnegie talked freely on
the subject.
"I did not como to Plttsburg. " said he , "to
rake up , but to try to bury the past , of which
I know nothing. That Is beyond recall.lt
should be banished as a horrid dream , and
only the lessons that It teaches laid to heart
for the future. For twenty-six years our
concern has run with only ono labor stop
page at ono-of Its numerous works , and I
trust and believe that even this record will
bo fully equaled In the twenty-live vo-irs to
come. When employes and empUm < rs lie
como antagonistic , each considering the
other Its enemy , it is a contest between twin
brothers. There Is no genuine victory prwsl
bio for either , but defeat for bath capital
and labor.
Could Not Control the OMIt'crn ,
"I desire now , once for all , to make ono
point clear. Four years ago I retired from
active business ; no consideration in the
world would Induce m < j to return to it. A
great error of our countrymen Is that they
endure the harnisslng cares Incident to busi
ness until they break down In the harness ,
when they should bo in their prime , ami die ,
still striving for dollars. I believe In rein
ing betimes and giving younger men a
chance. I have sold portions of my interests
and am gradually selling moro to such young
men In our service as m.v partners find po *
scssed of exceptional ability and desire an
Intoresl In the business. 1 am not an officer
in Iho company , bul only a shareholder.
"To Iho numerous appeals which I have re
ceived , urging mo to give instructions in re
gard lo recent troubles , 1 have paid no at
tenlbn , but to all these people and to any
others interested In the subject , let me now
say that I have no power to instruct ani
body connected with the Carnegie Steel
company , ( limited. ) <
"The officers tire elected for a year and no
one can interfere with them , liven at the
next election If I desired to make a change I
should bo powerless to do so. The law under
which the company Is chartered requires a
majority , not only In interest , but in mini
her of shareholders to effect a change.
No ChiiiiKe Anticipated.
"If I desired to replace the present officers ,
therefore , it would bo necessary for mete
obtain a majority of the shareholders ami
also seven members willing to act as their
successors. I could not find ono shareholder
out of the whole numbr Interested , that
would not vote for and stand by the present
oflleials. They will bo unanimously re-
elected.
" 1 am still a holder of a majority of the
shares of the Carnegie Steel company , never
having changed my policy of concentration.
I made first dollar in Pittsburg and I expect
lo make my last ono here , and as long as m.v
young partners are willing , or desire my
capital to remain in tlio business , It shall so
remain , and they shall always have my best
advice , when asked , gratis. I elect to retain
iny'capital in the manufacturing business I
have helped to build up because I have and
always must have great pride in it , and lur
the further reason that my capital is thus
made the direct employer of labor ; it fur
nishes many men with steady work at good
wages. . . . . .
Heat Form of I'hlliinlhropy.
"Ijlo not know any form of philanthropy
so beneficial as this. There is no charity iu
It. I have nol taken money out of the business
for investment in outside things ; I never in
tend to do so , and since I retired from busl
ness four years ago what money has como
to mo beyond that required for living ex
penses has been devoted to public uses , I
have hoarded nothing and shall never ac
cumulate money. I shall not die rich apart
from my Interest in the business , which may
bo still held tit my death.
"Much has been said alwut my fortune , I
have plenty only If the works in Pittsburg
are prosperous ; unless they are I have
nothing , and that is how I elect to stand.
All m.v eggs are In one basket , right hero in
western Pennsylvania. I take my chances
with my partners and 1 have the satisfaction
of knowing that the first charge upon every
dollar of my capital is still the payment of
the highest earnings paid to labor In any'
part of the world for similar service. Upou
that record 1 am proud to stand. j
Commend * Mr. J'riek.
"And now ono word about , Mr Frick ,
whom 1 recommended to the Carnegie Steel
companv us Its chairman , and my successor
four years ago. 1 am not mistaken In thu
man , as the future will show. Of his ability ,
fairness and pluck no ono hat , now thu slight
est question. Ills four years' management
stamps him as ono of the- foremost inanagerH
in the world. I would'iiot exchange him for
any manager I know. People generally are
still to learn of these virtues which his part
ners and friends know well. If his hoaltti
bo spared I predict that no man who over
lived In Pittsburg and managed business
there will be butter liked or moro admired
by his employers than my friend and partner
nor , Henry Clay Friek. His are the quail
