Oct. IS. The lenate re
BUincd its hesulon at ID o'clock this morning.
at tno expiration of the recess taken ycster-
ouy.
ouy.Mr.
Mr. Morgan of Alabama took exception to
the motion of Mr. Dolph to amend the
journal so r.s to show the presence of Mr.
A0n when the roll was called at 0BO :
o'clock Monday evening , that senator having
failed to answct when his naino was called.
Mr. Morgan said that , while the decision
cited yesterday by Mr. Hill from the 144
United States supreme court reports might
bo twisted and perverted into a support of
his ( Mr. Hill's ) position ns a Judicial de
cision , It could not bo plai-cd in that cuto-
I'or.v except by the artfulness of an astute
politician. A fair-minded lawyer could not
do It. The supreme court merely de
cided that iho house of representatives ,
under the Constitution , Irid the right to
make Its rules for ascertaining 'mid record
ing the fact that a quorum wast present.
Thcro were men In the world whoso con-
bcicnccs were so easy that they could follow
the supreme court in all dce'islons. who
could bond their consciences to any purpose
that political policy required at any time ,
but such men had Tie Just opinion ot the
rights of the representatives of the pcoplo
and states. Such persons were ready on
any occasion , when it served .their purpose
and promoted their political prosnerity or
their desire , to dcnrlvo a minority of all
Its rights and all Its powers in order that
their wills might have supreme sway in the
country.
Insinuations Agrilnnt tlio .Siipn-mo Court.
It might suit men of that class to follow
the supreme court around and bo willing to
take an oath of allegiance to the opinions of
the supreme court today and change the
oath tomorrow when tlio decision of tho.
court ohangcd. That , Mr. Morgan said , did
not suit lam and he referred to the decision
of that court that no paper money Issued by
tlio government or national banks could bo
legal tender , which was not agrccablo.to a
great many poisons In the United States.
Thereupon , ho said , congress -with great lib-
erallty" increased the court from seven to
nine , for what nurposo it was not for him to
say , but the people ot the United States , era
a great many of them , believed it was done
in order to gut men upon the bench who
would reverse that decision and decide that
paper money obligations issued by the gov-
eminent were le-gal lender.
Mr. Hoar of Massachusetts said the nom
inations of the two new Judges were sent to
the senate before the legal tender decision
was announced. Air. Morgan replied that
ho might bo wrong In bU historical facts ,
but ho did not think ho was.
Mr. Hoar said lie know the facts as ho
stated them weio correct , if ho knew any
thing in this world. Although the state
ment repeated now by Mr. Morgan gained
9 currency , it was without the slightest
foundation.
Illll nitrlir * It
Mr. Morgan disclaimed that he had inti
mated that the judges were appointed for
that purprxc , but so the pcoplo believed.
Koferring to Mr. Hill's reference * to his ( Mr.
Morgan's ) connection with the confederacy ,
Mr. Morgan mild the cloven states which
went out fioin the \inlon did so , not to dis 1
sent from the constitution , but to preserve
it. Ho hud more respect for these who
shouldered a gun nud went to the front than
for those who continually referred to that
period , but remained at homo. Ho was not
alarmed when ho heard ono of these gentle
men refer io his attitude in Iblil. No honest
soldier who had fought him In the war ever
did. It was only these who hired substi
tutes , and , playing the baby cot ,
remained at homo , who wcro in the
habit of rising in the senate and
referring to the fact that ho ( Mr , Morgan )
had participated 1m the secession of tha
south. IK > was not ashamed of the fact. Mr.
Morgan characterized tlio statement of Mr.
Hill that Allen C. Thurman/Jwho Jwos the
occupant of thci chair In the senate , bad
counted a quorum , "us 'ono of these half-
truths , told by the senator from Now York
which convoys more of misinformation than
It does of faot.1' Ho added : "I have taken
the pains to Inquire how many senators
have e'omloscended to look at the question in
its material aspects , as it appeared upon the
statute book , and 1 have found that very
few have oven read the statutes that are to
bo affected by the proposed act. Hut the
t ruin pot has sounded , forces were mur-
_ eliaU'd , the clock has strucic at iho whlto
lv house , and the cuckoos hero have put their
heads out of the box and responded , and lrn
formed us of the time of day , Hut they
did not know what they were talking about
and did not take the pains to Unit out ,
Mr , Morgan , rcfcrrlni ; to the action of the
secretary of the ticasury , said ho did not
bollcvo e'ongrcss could confer the discretion
on that ofilccr to coin or not ta com at bin
will. The secretary in thta respect had but
partially executed u mandatory law. Mr.
Morgan argued that the Sherman act should
bo repealed out and out.
Mr. Platt inquired whether the senator
from Alabama bolloveertho law , as 'If ' now
existed , gave the scorotary of the treasury
the rlfht to coin the seigniorage.
AraniMl .Mr , Mill * .
Mr Morgan bolloved It did.
In the * e-ourso of his speech Mr. Moruan
referred to Mr. Mills as the mouth plci'-o of
unotlur , which Mr , Mllla qule-kly and ex
citedly denied
"You have a responsibility' to which I pro-
po.so to hold you. " said Mr. Morgan.
" 1 am perfectly responMbln to my ronstltu

"So will 1 , "
" 1 denv that vow have any such right. "
" 1 intend to tie It. "
' 1 Intend to take e-uro of myself. When

Mr. Teller ot Colorado them moved tc
the journal * o that it noulel thaw hi
presence on a certain roll call when ho did
not respond to his natno , and ho addressed
the senate.
Ho quoted from n statement ot Mr Car-
llslo In regard to Insistence upon the passing
of the repeal bill , nnd said : "What right
has the secretary of the trersury to Inter
fere with us in this mattcrt I resent it my
self as a breach of prlvlleec.
"I have heard a peed deal of the dignity of
the senate. The misconduct of ono senator
or a dox.cn senatcri will never degrade the
senate. It will bo degraded , however , whenever -
over It abandons Its prerogative of independ
ent legislation given to it by the constitu
tion. Whenever tlio senate shall take its
orders from cabinet officers or nn executive
then there will bo degradation of the senate ,
degradation that the people of tlio country
shall take notice of and understand. When
wo decline ta ba stampeded by boards ot
trade , chambers of commerce , cte % , wo will
comirmnd the respect ot the American pro-
plo. Hut when wo surrender our convic
tions , whether It bo on the advice of the
president or In consequence of public clamor ,
the degradation will begin , and the dlcnlty
of the senate ) bo gone. " Ho eiuoted from Mr.
Cleveland's letter to Oovcrnor Northcn of
Ueoigla and Insisted that it wns nn attempt
to Inlluenco the action of the senate in this
matter.
Chnngo frnin Olden Tlinni ,
Mr , Teller said In thcso modern days the
public press announced that the president
bad commanded tlin senate what it should
do. Tli9 members of the cabinet were ac
customed to bo frequently Interviewed and
to declare : "Wo have made up our minds as
to the results otthoSlicrman law and wo will
accept no compromise. "
Thcro weio senators who know when ho
made the statement that the mcmbcis of the
cabinet within the last thirty days had de
cided no compromise would bo accepted by
the executive that it was true , because they
bad heard it.
Mr , Teller then read an article from the
Now York Daily America as to the attitude
of the administration. Ho denied the
friends of silver in tlio senate were obstruc
tionists , inul declared the votes that have
kept the senate with a working majority
bavo been given by those men who uro op
posed to tliu repeal.
At 2:05 : p. in. Senator Allen of Nebraska
suggested no quorum. A roll call developed
the fuut that forty-eight senators wcro
present and Mr. Teller proceeded. Speaking
of his right to refrain rrom voting on any
measure , which he claln.ed was a rccognl/ed
privileges In the senate , Mr. Teller referred
to the fact that Colliding , Carpenter and
DIaltic , when members of the sunntc , had
frequently taken advantage of the privilege ,
and declared no ono questioned their knowl
edge of tlio constitution and parliamentary
law.
l.nlcl It on the Mnjorlty.
Mr. Daniel , democrat , of Virginia re
garded those who called themselves the ma
jority on tlio pending question nioro respon
sible for the delays which had occurred in
coining to a vote than those whom they de
scribed as the minority. The motion of Mr.
Dolph to amend the journal , whotlior dilatory
In its parliamentary description , was neces
sarily dilatory. The senator from Now
York ( Hill ) proposed right ? in the midst of
debate to amend the rules , which ho know ,
in the nature of things , would lead to n
longer and 11101-13 protracted debate than
the prevailing question if It was
pressed to come to a conclusion
Hoforrlng to Mr. Sherman's remarks yes
terday that If the republican party would
present the democrats with a proposition
consisting of the Lord's prayer , or the Ten
Commandments , the democrats would reject
it. The senator from Ohio was richt , for if
these venerable and ancient documents wcro
presented there would bo just such a Kick as
there was over the repeal of the Sherman
law. ( Laughter. ] ho would call it a trick ,
just as unparliamentary , just such a ono as
was the repeal of the Sherman bill , itnd
tuoscmtlor Jrom Ohio could do something
hotter than read the democratic party lec
tures.
> v
Mr. Daniel wished to say to Mr. Mills of
Texas that he for one. and Mr. Daniel be
lieved a majority of these who agreed with
him would do so also , was ready instantly to
submit the question to a majority of demo
crats who had been sent to the senate
churtred with responsibility. Wis the sen
ator from Texas ready to go into a conclave
with his democratic brethren anil abide by
the result ?
Mill * Would Not Answer.
Mr. Mills sat In his seat in front of Mr.
Daniel , and although the latter paused bo
made no response.
"I can ask questions of others but I cannot
answer them , " said Mr. Daniel , ana a waft
of applause swept over the galleries.
Mr. Hill asked Mr. Daniel whether if the
senate in this session had adopted n pro
vision that should not be altered unless by
a two-thirds majority the senate would bo
bound by it'
Mr. Daniel said ho might not bo n good
lawyer , but tie was too good a lawyer to
answer hastily a proposition which ho wns
not discussing and hud nothing to do with
what ho was discussing.
' I do not intend to causa delay , " said Mr.
Illl , "if the presiding oftlcor and majority of
cnators agree with me , this bill can bo
usscd In sinto of all the obstructions of any
ninority. " [ Applause. ]
Mr. illll retired to the cloak room and Mr.
) anlel observed that the senator nftor
icatinp around the gooseberry bush with rt
antern , had loft the chamber.
Mr. Aldrich asked Mr. Daniel whether hs
lolloved there was any method under the
ules by which a majority could arrive at a
totcrmliiation of the question in spite of the
actlcs of the minority.
Mr. Daniel did not think the rule ? pro-
lilcd for such contingency. It had not been
hrco days slncci the senator from Khodo
gland had declared that the senate had
lover wished to carry out the wish of the
nnjorlty. That Mr. Daniel regarded as a
full iinel complete answer and proceeded to
cad an opinion af Mr. J. ( ! , Blalne. then
speaker of the house , regarding dilatory
notions ,
nights to ( tench a Derision.
Mr. Fr.vo said there was not the shadow
of dotiut that the senate hud u right at any
time for a decision on any measure pending ,
uul it was the duty of the presiding oftlccr
, o refuse lo entertain any dilatory motion
and to put a peremptory stop to anv dilatory
iroceeeilngs and thus preserve to thut body
, Ho right which the constitution gave It.
if the majority bad adopted u proceeding it.of
that kind long ago there would have been ofu
vote on the bill.
"Yes , " replied Mr. Daniel , "if the re
pealers would stay hero and show tholr faith
bytholr works , perhaps wo might have had
a vote on this bill. "
Hero Mr. Butler suggested no quorum , but
flfty-snven senators responded and Mr , But
ler said he wiihcd to explain why he made
the suggestion. "Tho senator from Now
York ( Illll ) has been delivering lectures on
account of the absenteeism. Ho fired off
his gun at the senator from Virginia and
then took tp Iho woods and I wanted to see

Ulslng to a question of privilege , Mr.
Yborhees characterized as a figment Ir.of

morning that there hud been a meeting of

CHICAGO , Oct. IS. Secretary of Agricul

Secretary Morton came hero to take part in
the fair eiuletly , hut yesterday the commis

today , Mr. Morton spoke ns follows :
"Everything In the civilized career of our

Americans their duties and their possibili

upon the agricultural mind that it needs individual -
dividual development and self-rellanco In

instructed the public us to how banks ought
to bo organized , ami how railroads ought to
bo managed ; they have oven gone so far as
to prcse'rlbe new methods ot coinage for the
general government. [ Laughter ]
I'allnolcB tint Arn Cittcliluc.
"Tho many fallacies which have been
evolved for the farmer for his best interests
are very catching. There is nothing in this
world so attractive to humanity as the pos
slbllity of making something out of nothing.
The teaching of many of the journeymen
farmers , who have organl cel societies
throughout the country , has boon to the
effect that the money of the country is
simply a legal llction. They 'forgot that so
lar In all his civilized career man has never
been able to make n medium of exchange era
a measure of value out of something which
had no commodity value before it became
money. [ Applause. ]
"Wo liavo arrived at a period now In
finance which takes ono back to theinvesti
gations of the alchemists and sorcerers of

Ilespindcd to the Secretary.
Patrick Walsh the
, conimissioner-at-Iarge
from Georgia , was selected by 1'resldcut
Palmer to respond to Secretary Morton's re
marks. Ho made a brief speech of welcome
nn behalf of the national commission. Mr.
Walsh also extended an invitation to the
secretary of agriculture to bo present at'tho
Augusta exposition. Duriner his speech Mr.
Walsh said : "Wo will be glad to welcome

our exposition. Mr. Secretary , I hope that
your ofllclal duties will permit you to make
us a visit. I am sure , sir , that ihcro is no

CHICAGO , Oct. IS. Afjcr the meeting had
been called and a prayer had been offered
the program at the bankers congress was
begun ut the Art institute this morning by
an address of welcome by Mayor Harrison ,
When the mayor hud set the ball rolling
President It. Huwn of the American Bank
ers association made a speech. The time of
the congress was then taken up for a short
time by roll cull and rnports of ofllcers.
When thcso routine matters had been dis
posed of Hon.-James H , ICckols , comptroller
of the currency , appeared to make the prin
cipal address of the morning. The hall was
not crowded , but all thovo who were present
listened with intense interest to Mr. Eckels'
words. Considering the financial difficulties
through which Iho country had passed since
Mr. Eckels came in to ofllco the bankers wcro
especially Interesteel lo know what ho would
have to say.'The following is a synopsis of
his speech :
From the vantage ground of having had
tha supervision of system of banking
which embraces within its folds almost
4,000 national banks , eanittillred to the ex
tent of lUtidrcds | of millions of dollars , and
having within their keeping moro than
ta.OOO.OOO.OOOof people's money It is not Im
possible that I might utlcr something
gathered from un experience which , brief in
space of time , has ut least been 'big with
events' in the history of American bunrflng ,
Story ul the OrUU.
"It is no exaggeration to say thut the hap
penings from May to September must bo no-
counted the most remarkable in every phase
of financial bearing every experienced by the
American people. Heretofore in our llnan-
ciul distresses Hie leal of solvency has always
been applied losloro aud factory , to great
Industrial enterprises und railway corpora ,
lions , but within the period of these months
an affrighted people , fearful of the resultant
effects of a financial system , vitiated by ill-
advised legislation , buxuno for the illst
time doubtful of the distinctively financial
Institutions of Iho country , and as a se
quence ) a steady drain upon the lls
in the banks was begun , until within
the period of two months from
May 4 to July 1'- , from national binks alone
had been drawn out moro than (103,000,000 ,
and from state , savings und private oues ; u
sum as great , not for nurposes of trade or
investment , hut lo Uo in wasteful Idleness ,
thus rendering the soundest institutions
helpless and causing a complete currency
starvation In the midst of absolute plenty.
These months witnessed the closing of > ro
than 150 .national banks und not less an
600 btnto , KaviUjTiuud private ones , many of
which , under ordinary circumstances , would
have beett fcolvont and have since , under fosI I
teriug , care and improved conditions , reI I
opened their doow for business , again to en
joy the confidcnqo ofttio very ones most
doubtful of them. t
( Skill or thfc Ilniiknrn.
"Today so greatly has the situation
changed that It wnuld-bo both unfair and un
just to deny that iho bankers of this coun
try have exhibited masterful skill in coping
wjth a situation rendered complex beyond
anything heretofore known bv the with
drawals of currency by depositors on the
ono hand nnd iho plcndlngs for assistance on
the part of merchants and manufacturers on
the other. The course pursued has caused
no depositor to complain , whllo the generous
treatment of mcivjintllo interests in extension -
tension ot credit and renewal of
paper tins prevented n panic In other
directions , the fnr-roaehlng effect of which
cannot bo estimate * ! , Complete return to
financial health cannot bo had so long as the
first real cause yet remains to plague the
lines of business uml.crcata distrust at homo
and abroad. Until our financial laws accoret
with these that govern Iho world's trade and
our currency takes on a uniformity nnd
elasticity that nro now wholly lucking wo
cannot but expect at stated periods a recur
rence of e-ondltlons such ns wo have so re
cently experienced ,
' But it is said , in bringing about a differ
ent and other sot of financial laws , tl.o
banking Interests must hold aloof. It is a
striking Illustration of the extent to which
unreasoning passion and prejudice huvo
crept Into our politic that in the present
emergency ' bunkers nro compelled to liesl-
tale as to iho advisability of actively urg
ing tlio repeal of n measure which stands
confessedly as thd source of past disasters
and dlro menace to further prosperity. H
maj * bo that the hankers uro selllsh , but not
moro so , I ventures to say , that men In other
walks of life. Surely not more so than the
silver interests wljioh today inveigh the
most loudly against them. Thcso critics who
would elobar the banker because of the bus-
ness m which bo , is engaged , from being
heard from when grave iiucstlons of ilnaii-
clal policy engage the lawmaklng powers
seem to forgot that bank stocks are not all
held In cities by capitalists and merchant
princes , but that every town nnd village
boasts of Its bank , the stock of which is
owned by men of moderate means , by mer
chants , farmers and mechanics. When
these dangers to the public good are upon us
let no banker hcsltalo to discharge his trust
because of the utterance of some demagogue
striving to win votes in coming elections ,
r.csgoiu to Uo ] , cnrnc < l.
"But what shall bo learned from all tnis
season of disas'tertThe bankers of the
country ought to"gather some lessons from
it all. I am sure some are not as strong to
withstand the drafts made upon them as
J they would have boon had they kept In
mind in times of prosperity the necessity of
so banking as to be [ ircpared for times of
financial stringency. Competition for busi
ness is carried to the danger point by many.
It is n source , of ' constant complaint
on the part of tlio national banks
that it is unreasonable ! to hamper them by
limiting their loans to 10 per cent of the
amount of tholr capita ) stock , but the events
of the [ last mouths have demonstrated the
wisdom of that provision and makes strong
the belief that a. more strict adherence to it
would make the batiks stronger instead of
weaker when threatened by financial
panic. No section'ot "the law ii > so fre
quently violated and In none is there so
great safety for careful banking.
"A Practical PJan of Banking and Cur
rency" was a subject treated in a very able
manner by Mr. G.A | Butler of New Haven ,
Conn.
Speech ol-Mloi ICIpley Faotp.
Alton Uiploy Foote made a plea for a sound
currency and banking system. "There is
nothing in the nature of things , " ho said ,
"to prevent the people'from devising , car
rying into operationana' 'onjoylncj to
the utmost the' most * . stable , the
soundest and the most automatically ad
justable currency auel banking system in
the world , a system by means of which wo
can gain and' maintain our financial inde
pendence. Such a work cannot bo success
fully undertaken by politicians who retain
power by beguiling tlio people into .the be
lief that tholr party has always been sound
on questions ol finance. "
The venerable George S. Coo , president 9f
the American Exchange bankof New
York , read a set of resolutions for the
creating of special coinmittses com
posed of ono member from each state
and ono from the District of Columbia to ef
fect the organization of a national monetary
commission to represent the diverse inter
ests of the whole people , whoso aim will bo

Ing system. Pending the adoption of a plan ,
congress Is asked to hold , in abeyance a.ll
projects for the amendment of existing cur
rency laws except1 Ufa repeal of thu purchas

New York Jlerahl Special to Tun Hnn.1
The Herald's correspondent in Hlo do
Janeiro sends word that Pelxoto's govern
ment has dcclarce' that It will not bo roj
sponsiblo for dumaecs or losses to natives or
foreigners residing In Brazil , caused by the
revolutionary forces or by tlio government
troops in their attempt to suppress the re
bellion.
A decree has been issued branding as door
sorters all persons who were In the army
and navy service of Brazil and have joined
the revolutionary movement. Many mill11
tary ofllcers , principally these who were
. stationed nt Fort Vlllcgaygnon , nro named
in the decree. The ban also applies to nil
soldiers and sailors who icfuscd to light
against the rebels.
A detachment of 100 soldiers of Pelxoto's
army has arrived in Montovcldo under
orders lo man the Tlradentes. They nro
under strict quarantine for two days.
SI ore Oppniltlon to I'el.xoto.
It is reported that the state government of
Santa Catlicrina has declared its separation
from the republic until President Polxoto
resigns.
An auxiliary expedition , which was organ
ized by Barras Cassal to aid thcso revolu
tionists , hits arrived in Dcstorro , It is
reported that the coast defense turret
ship Bahia has been ordered down
the liver from Asuncion to Join the
Tiradentes. Both will Ihen proceed lo
Hlo do Janeiro engage Mello's squadron in a
naval battle. President Peixoto has but
two good warships in his squadron , the iron
turret Bahia and the new cruiser Tlradentes.
The rest nro all old wooden crafts which uro
obsolete and 'would make no fight against
such ships as the" Aquiauban and Rcpubllca
In Mello's licet.
No Truth in the Report * .
The report .that Peixoto has purchased
warships in Europe and the United States
Is doubted , though several 'firiullian naval
ofllcers hnvo arrived in Montevideo. These
reports emanate from the same sources from
which all the alleged ofliclal news favorable
to Peixoto is sent. It is rumored that the
insurgents have occupied Nictheroy and
have landed forces there. They have so.
cured reinforcements which arc now outside
the harbor entrance ready to begin opera
tions. 'J'hc ' iron turret Bahla with govern
ment troops on board , is anchored in the
roads outside Montevideo waiting the re
ports of the arrival of other ships of Peix-
oto's squadron.
The rebel cruiser Sole do Sombro , which
was sunk recently near Prat Grande , has
been lloatcd. She H ill bo repaired under the
protection of the guns from Mello's ships.
Out ! Victory lor I'elxolo.
News lias been received confirming the re
ports of the sinking of the shlpHrago , wlilch
was filled with adherents of thu insurgents.
Poixoto's troops captured sevciueen prisoners
ors alter the ship had pone down. The crew
was saved , but many who were aboard o
the ship wcro drowned , including several
chiefs of Mello's party.
There were forty shots exchanged tn the
fight between Pelxoto's batteries and For :
Vlllcgaygnon. There was much comment
because Admiral Mello's flagship the
Aquldaban wns hilent during the engage
meut. It was expected she would lire 01
Fort Santa Cruz when the forts llrcd on and
sunk the Arano.
Notwithstanding the constant denials ,
government oflleials still insist that Polxoto
has bought ono battleship , two
cruisers und a numbar of fov-
podo boats in the United States and Europe.
If thcso reports are true , which are not hc-
llovod , Pelxoto's squadrons will consist of
the Babla , Ulahulo , Benjamin , Constant ,
Tiradentcs , Parnohyby , Prlmcro , Dcmarzo
and his now mirdiases. The rudder * of the
Bahla is broken and she will not
able until extensive repairs huvo been made.
Think Mollo Hits Lost Ormimf.
In Uruguay and Argentina it Is believed
that Mollo has lost ground and that Peixoto
[
Is gaining strength. It is , however , signifl-
I cant that all news favorable to the presl
dent emanates from the Brazilian legation ,
The Herald's correspondent in Kio do
Janeiro sends ad\lccs that tha revolutionary
party , under Admiral Mello , will establish ryn
provisional government at Destciro. A general -
oral plan of government will bo arranged ,
and n program for offensive und defensive
attacks will bo mapped out. The leaders
hope to obtain recognition from foreign
powers. It is believed that If Admiral Mollo
once gets a footing on land tlio pcoplo will
rise in his favor. This will certainly mean
the downfall of Peixoto.

SLASHED THEIR SALARIES.
'ticlllc UvitrrM Company Kmploj-vn WorkIng -
Ing on Itnlltcril M'uxt'c.
Yesterday afternoon thd employes of the
Pacific Express company of this city were
ofllclally notified of a sweeping reduction in
salaries. The oreler affects every man on
the pay rolls of the company In this city ,
inil covers October salaries. The retrcmh- :
iicnt , ns announced , applies as follows :
All employes receiving $75 per month or
nero previous to October I are reduced 12
icrcent on their pay. All employes rocclv-
up salaries exceeding MO per month are
cut 10 per cent , while Ihoso receiving $40 or
ess are slushed 10 per cent.
General consternation at the reduction
existed among the employes , many of whom
complained bitterly because the notice of
the retrenchment was not given until two
weeks after tlio elate upon which the order
went into effect. It was glvan out in some
what chilly tones , however , that any cm-
nloyo who objected to the procedure could
draw his check for October salary up to the
at the old rate. While no notice of dis
missal from the service for asiting for ehcclcs
of this character accompanied theinvltatlou ,
thcro scorned to be ) a general understanding
lurking In the hearts of the unfortunate
employes that a request for October salary
at the old pay would result in several
vacancies.
It is aH that the reduction is due to the
recent visit of Oliver W. Mink of Boston.
Mr. Mink Is a prominent director of the
company. It Is said that ho had a long con
ference with tjio local oflleials just previous
to his departure from Omaha , anel that re
trenchment f.bllowed quiokly thereafter.
It Is said upon excellent authority that'in
paying the last dividend that It was neces
sary to use u portion of the large reserve
fund , which is , us a rule , kept on hand con
stantly for the payment of largo losses and
emergencies.
AV. F. Boohol , auditor of the company , is
seriously ill at his residence anel could not bo
seen by n reporter lust evening.
Thomas 1C Sudborougb , chief clerk of the
company , said that the order would affect
about 100 employes in this city , nnd that the
Omaha olllce had always paid the best of
salaries. Ho said that it was simply a ques
tion of reduction of the force or ix retrench
ment in salaries , and that the latter was dc
eided upon. He says that the action was
prompted by a decrease in the business of
the company.

FitnMOXT , Oct. 18. [ Special Telcaram
lo Tin : BBC. ] District court con
vened promptly at 10 a. in. The
house was filled to Its capacity with inter
ested cltlrons , eager to catch every word
that summed up the evidence of ono of the
most interesting cases over brought before a
Dodge county court. The events of the past
few days , the sad one ) Ing of one of the Carlo
ton boys by accident and the deep grief that
naturally pervades the family hnvo doubt
less had their Inlluenco , and as the facts
have all been given to the jury that body of
men cannot help but manifest Its sympathy.
The pcoplo nro pretty unanimous In con
demning the court onlcials for giving the
facts and results of Sunday's accident puo-
licity in tlio courts.
The chair besldo the defendant , which hael
been almost continually occupied by the
mother , was occupied by tlio father , the
mother remaining by the dead body of her
son.

lor Carleton.
Frank Doliral of the defense claimed that
the defendant was innocent before the law
until ho was oroven guilty. Ho wanted the
jury to consider this carefully. As to the
chain of evidence from which it was ex
pected lo judge the defendant , it is no.
stronger than its weakest link. The chain
of circumstances from which the Jury is
asked by the state to condemn Carleton nas
its weak links , which it is iho duty of the
defense < to show. He etwelt on the previous
good < character of h'o defendant and the im
pulsive nature * of Gothman , dilated
on the unnatural marriage betneon the lat
ter and Minnie nnd. Jtejr. natural desire to
bocomo'jfcTois'cd tranfmiii. He argued that
thcr3 vas no adequate proof that Charles
CarletoiTknow that Minnlo was the wife of
( jothnian , nor that ho knew until after the
terrible ordc.il of June S'that Uo lied no legal
01 natural rights us the husband of Minnie
01G
Gothman. As Mr. Loomls said , no cold
blooded murder was over committed with
out a motive. In this case no .nolive har
been proven. When these two men met 01-
that fatal morning Gothman was the only one *
who had a motive in the other's destruction.
Ho ; knew that Carlcton was occupying his
place beside his wife , and his brute nature
was arouse-d. He saw Ma wife leaving the
Cnrlcton pl.ico on that fatal inornitiGr , nnd
however cool ho might have appeared at
first in the presence of his rival , It could
not huvo been otherwise than that thcro
was m.-ilico In his heart.
The speaker , who had given the case a
most careful consideration , went over the
evidence with u scrutiny and adroitness
characteristic of him. He reasoned that
the death struggle , us described by the de
fendant , was perfectly consistent with
the testimony of the expert sur
geons. The Ilrst two shots Jlrcd in
the struggle did not destroy Golhmun'H re
sistance. It wits tlio last Hhot that killed.
The story lold by C.irloton in Ills excite
ment utter the struggle , ho admitted , was
colored to suvo the woman ho loved. But
the stories as related by the witnesses
seemed to conIIlet. No two persons can tell
the same tiling in the same words. Care
fully considered they do not mixtorully con
flict. The last story Carleton told , after he
had cooled off nud was in a condition to toll
it , was suhuuntially like the ono ho has told
on the witness stand. Ho did keep back ono
particular , and that was that his young
wife had been Iho cause of the trngoty.
Mr. Doll/ul spoke troiu tl o'clock until noon.
Uateueil to .1. K. Prlclc.
The crowd at the court house when court
convened at noon was greater limn ever.
MV.J.KFrlck la acknowledged un ablvspeakor
and people generally desired to hear him ou
this occasion , The funeral of Wesley Carleton -
ton occurring at " p. m. e'alled away thd do-
fcndant's relatives und intimate friends and
tlio occupant of the chair besldo him was
again changed.
Mr. Frick opened with n general outline of
iho case , appealing to thu Jury thut If in the
past thcro had been any relations between
them and him that wcro not entirely agree
able they should not visit it upon his client ,
whoso lips were scaled. Mr. Loom Is , ) IQ
said , hud charged the defendant with a mo
tive for the killing of Gothman , hut if thcro
was n motive ) in that struggle for life it laid
in the breast of August Gothman , whoio
marital rights hud been Interfered with and
violated. When Charles Carleton met Gotli-
man on that fatal morning and returned to
protect his young wlfu from the anger of
the man for whom she had expressed such
fear ho did as any man would have done
wjio had the least regard for ono whom no
had sworn to piotect. The act of tending
away tno woman was un act Hint should ba
commended Instead of condemned. At that
time Citrloton know of no relations that ho
tioro lo Golhinan thav should compromise him , '
Ho wns icady lo meet Gothman , and hist
only solicitation was tha protection of hi |
wife , His taking Minnlo away before thei
family loft was hut u natural consequence ,
.She wanted to get away from n man who , ai
Carleton was led lo believe , was persecuting
her for her hand In marriage ,
As to thu fact that Gothmnn had been
walching iho house when Minnlo loft , the
speaker claimed it was a prelude to the
truuody of the day , Mr. Krlck gave an out *
line of the case thut was very impressive ,
Ho then took the pathetlo aspects of the
cusn und closed ono of thu ablest speeches of
his life.
