WASHINGTON , Nov. 3. At 8 o'clock today
the extraordinary session of the Fifty-third
congress , after being In session elghty-sovon
days and three hours , adjourned. A wranclo
between the house nnd senate over an appro
priation to pay the senate session employes
tor work done during the recess of the Fifty-
first congress In 1890 , caused ( the failure of
the general deficiency bill and the bill for
the payment ot clerks and employes between
today and the regular session , December 4.
The senate wns determined thU approprla-
tlon should bo agreed to by the house by the
alternative of sacrificing the deficiency
bill , nnd Senator Cockrell , chairman
of the appropriation committee ,
sent word that not $1 of deficiency
would bo ngrood to by the senate until the
house accepted this amendment , which had
been tacked onto the deficiency bill. The
senate adjournment resolution had not been
passed , and In this way the senate expected
to make the house yield. To mnko assur
ance doubly sure , the senate also placed the
same amendment on the bill providing pay
lor session employes nnd clerks to members
during the recess , and sent word that If
its amendment was agreed to the defi
ciency bill Would bo released from confer
ence , where It was being held as if in chan
cery by the senate ,
Defeated by Mr. Hutolionn.
Inasmuch as every mcmber-of the house
was Interested in the resolution to keep Ills
'clerk on the pay roll during tlio recess , sen
ators thought they held the wlllp hand , but
} ho plan wus defeated bv n filibuster inau
gurated toy Mr. Hutchcson of Texas. Ho
was opposed to the original resolution to
pay theemployes ) of congress during tbo re-
1 cess , but-was easily outgeneraled by the
parliamentarians who opposed him. When
the.resolution caino back to the house , how
ever , with tho.senato amendment as n rider
it was about ii O'clock. Mr. Hutchcson saw
If ho could hold the senato. at bay for. tha
scaco of but a few minutes , the adjournment
would 'give him the victory. Tho. senate
was''immcillately notified of the situation in
the- house and a resolution was hurriedly
passed extending the tlmo of uajournmcnt
to 4:80 : , but the effort came too lato. Mr.
Hutchcson , with Kllgoro on his left und
Boon , the Minnesota populist , on his right ,
hold his position until ! J o'clock , when the
house , , by Us own previous action , was de
clared by Sneaker Crisp adjourned sine dlo.
" \Vhllo the house adjourned at a o'clock to

Mr. Hlchardsou of Tennessee presented a
resolution to pay the pertilcm session clerks
nnd employes of tlo : house nnd senate dur
ing .adjournment. . Mr. Savrcs of Texas ,
chairman of the appropriations committee ,
objected. The resolution , ho said , did not
specify the amount it would carry and ho
would never agree to aiiv Indefinite appro
priation. It would cost Ju'0,000 for the clerks
to members alone nnd no ono Know how ,
much the continuation of the salaries of'
other employes would be. Ho insisted the
house should know how mucti money it was
voting away. The resolution was curried ,
by a vote of 149 to r > 3.

WASHINGTON. Nov. 3. The session of the
senate will bo long memorable for the con
test over the bill providing for the repeal of
the silver purchasing clause of the Sherman
act of 1890. The extraordinary session was
called for the purpose of accomplishing this
repeal , and the other work wns merely In
cidental.
The bill ot next greatest Importance to
the repeal bill , which has passed both nouses
of congress , U the bill extending the time In
which Chinese laborers can register under
the Chinese act , known ns the Geary law.
Much Interest also attached to the bill pro
viding for abridge across the Hudson nt Now
York , This bill passed both houses.
Of the 1,1W bills which have been intro
duced In the senate during the session , only
throe have become laws. Ono is In aid of
the Midwinter exposition to bo held In San
Francisco , another grants certain sottlerj In
Oklahoma Territory the right to commute
their homestead-entries , and the third re
lates to clerks in the office of the commis
sioners of the District of Columbia.

Protably the most Important bill upon the
senate calendar now is that of the repeal of
the federal election laws. A similar bill has
passed the house. Senator Voorhocs has n
bill concerning national bank note circula
tion. Air. Morgan's resolution for a joint
committee of the two houses to consider
questions of finance has a place on the calen
dar , ns has.Mr. Stewart's resolution concern
ing the co-ordinate branches of the govern
ment , and also Mr. Pcffor's Delating to inter
state commerce. Senator Palmer's bill con
cerning invalid pensions paid to nonresidents
is in shape for consideration.
Kcijiilur Proceed I n .
The appearance of the senate was not un
usual this morning. The attendance
both of senators and spectators was
small. Soon after the senate met
Mr. Cockrcll , from , the coinmitteo
on appropriations , reported favorably the
house concurrent resolution providing for
the adjournment at 3 o'clock and asiced for
Its immediate consideration.
Mr. Coke spoke in opposition to the reso
lution. Congress should not adjourd , ho
said , but should continue in session , and
should proceed In the transaction of busi
ness.
ness.Mr. . Dolph of Oregon opposed an adjourn
ment at this time.
Mr. Call of Florida and Mr. Berry ot
Arkansas thought that It was the duty of
congress to remain in session.
Mr. Gray of Delaware said It was an Idle
attompc to continue the session until Decem
ber.
ber.Mr.
Mr. Mills of Texas said It was his misfor
tune to dtsacrrco with nearly everybody. Ho
thought the business in the next session
would be expedited by adjourning now.
Allen Till Its fur 1'onnlUtH.
Mr. Allen of Nebraska expressed his pref
erence \ to remain now rather
than to prolong the next session.
The populists , ho said , were prepared for
work. They were in condition'to assist in
the passing of a tariff bill nnd to aid in
the enactment of legislation designed for the
benefit of the people.
Mr. Cullntn ot Illinois said that ns a mem
ber of the coinmitteo on appropriations , ho
had consented to the reporting of tlio ud-
jo rnmcut resolution because ho supposed It
wus n foregone conclusion that the
majority desired to adjoturn. Whllohoshould
stand for the resolution , he wished to say
that If congress should , before adjourning ,
announce to the country that it Intended to
repeal either the election or tha tariff bill it
would bo doing n very good piece ol work.
Mr , Blackburn of Kentucky fnvored the
resolution nud Mr. Peffur of Kansas op
posed It.
The concurrent resolution was then passed
Tno nouso bill In aid of the World's fair
prize winners exhibition to bo held m Now
York city wns then passed.
Mr. McPherson of Now Jersey offered the
usual resolution which was agreed to for a
comnnttco of two senators to join a similar
fonimitteo of the house to wait upon the
president and Inform htm that congicss was
rsady to adjourn.
Mr. Hansom of North Carolina nnd Mr ,
Cullom of Illinois were appointed as the com
mittee on the part of tlio senate ,
The clerk ( hen Jiegan calling the commit
tees for reports , Several trivial bills were
rejrartud. Then a dozen members were on
their feet seeking recognition.
Mr. Harris of Tonncstiuo , for the reasons
expressed by Mr , Coke , wus opposed to ad
journing ,
Mr , Cockrell said he heartily concurred In
what Ills distinguished colleague had said ,
but It was not worth while to talk when It
was known that a quorum could not be kept
for tbo remainder of the session.
ThostBAt * then went into executive ses
sion.
Oloilnc Sccnei.
At 2:57 : the senate opened us doors after
the executive session and Mr , Hansom of
the committee to wait on the president in
formed the senate that the president had no
further communications to make.
The vice president then , made his ac
knowledgment of the resolution of thanks
and adjourned the senate in n few words ,
Ho said : "My appreciation of the resolu
tion , personal to myself , kindly adopted by
the Semite , cannot bo measured by words ,
To your courtesy and forbearance I am
indebted to whatever measure of success
has attended my administration of this
great office. The record of the session of the
Flftv-thlrd congress Is made ; thenceforth It
belongs to the domain of history ,
"Karncstly wishing each and all of youia
safe and pleasant return to your homes and
constituents , l now , in pursuance of the con
current resolution of the two houses , declare
the senate adjourned without auy , "
The gavel wns brought down sharply and
the extraordinary session of the Fifty-third
oongre&s hue. adjourned sine dlo.
llurubluiver Not Continued ,
The executive session ended \\lthout con
firming the nomination pf Mr. Horn-
blower to bo justice of the supreme
court. This failure to confirm has the effect
of a rejection. The president \\I11 therefore
bo compelled to either send his name again
or to nominate another man to the office.

who Is so unfortunate as to have him in cus
tody.
tody.After
After Tun BEE exposed the bank wrecker's
privileges in the Douglas county Jail the
attention of the United States authorities
was called to the travesty on justice In the
so-called imprisonment of Moshor and it was
decided to tranaferhhn to another jail. This
wag done and Moshor was taken to Lan
caster county. When Moshcr was taken to
Lincoln United States Marshal White
gave positive instructions that the prisoner
was not to bo permitted to leave the jail
under any circumstances. Those instruc
tions had hardly grown cold until rumors
were rife that Moshcr hud been permitted
to take buggy rides nnd was in a measure
repeating the program which ho enjoyed In
Omaha.
The district cpurt also took a hand In the
matter nnd had the "sporty" ex-banker
summoned before that tribunal in an en
deavor to secure evidence which was wanted
by the prosecution against the managers of
the defunct bank. ,
Instructions Icnored.
This was all In direct conflict with the
orders of the United Stages marshal , and as
soon as he heard of It ho determined to put
a sudden stop to such n procedure. Yester
day he dispatched Deputy Marshal Boehmo
to Lincoln and told him to bring Moshcr to
the union depot In this city und ho would
meet him at the train. This was dono. nnd
when Mosher arrived In Omahu Marshal
White took him in charge. Last night
Moshor occupied quarters In the Cass
county jail , lie Is likely to remain there for
an indefinite period from present Indica
tions. Slnco his incarceration In the Lan
caster county jail Moshor has caused a great
deal of trouble.
Conjompt of Court.
While Mosher was pleasantly whiling
the hours away in Omaha as the honored
guest of Sheriff Bennett , nnd acting ns side
partner of tlio sheriff's brother , the credi
tors of Mosher began suits to recover money
loaned him. Mosher had transferred his
property to D. E. Thompson , and his cred
itors wanted to attach this property. At
tachment suits were filed in the district
court und Judge Tiobotts set the date of the
hearing for Thursday. Moshcr was takqn
into court on an order from the judge , but
ho laughed at all efforts to m\ko him tes
tify. Mosher had * filed aa answer to all
these suits , but as ho refused to auswer the
questions of the court a motion wus made by
the prosecution to strlko out his answers.
If this is done judgment will bo rendered
against him through default and would be a
great victory for his creditors. Judge Tib-
belts has the motion to do tnis under advise
ment now.
Question of Jurisdiction.
When Moshcr was taken to Lincoln no
commitment papers were used in making
his transfer , und the attorneys for the pros
ecution say that because of this Moshcr has
passed beyond the jurisdiction of federal au
thority and is now amenable to the lower
courts. Uuon this presumption the lawyers
have moved that in refusing to answer the
questions propounded to him on Thursday ho
is guilty of contempt of court , and they have
requested that he bo closely confined in a
dark cell and fed upon bread and water until
ho Is compelled to answer any question
which may be asked him about the attach
ment suits. When Marshal White heard oi
this move ho had Mosher removed from Lan
caster county. /
Arrival at 1'luttsmouth.
The marshal and his prisoner arrived In
Plattsmouth yesterday afternoon and
Moshor was turned over to Sheriff Tiehe ,
who at once locked him up the same us lie
would any other prisoner.
The marshal's instructions to the shcrlfl
were to confine him with the rest of the
prisoners , and that ho was not to bo taken
from the jail. It is a notorious fact that the
Cass county Jail offers very few advantages
to prisoners , and It Is highly suspected thai
u Is only a matter of a few days unti
Mosher will be yearning for another prison
The place abounds with filth , and the people
ple of PlnUsmouth , although Indignant ut
the enormity of Moshor's fraudulent deal
ings in connection with his defunct Lincoln
bank , might riot censure the authorities for
giving the banlc wrecker an occasional
breath of air from the outsldo of the jail.
Alnrdml White Interviewed.
Marshal White was scon by a Bun repre
sentative and when questioned as to the causa
of Mosher's removal from the Lincoln jail
stated that It was solely to prevent n clash
ing of authority between the federal nnd
state autoritlcs , such us the experience of
Thursday , when ho was taken from the Lin
coln jail by an oftlcer of the Lancaster
county district court und made to appear as
n witness. It seemed that the prisoner waste
to continually como into court to give his
testimony , If these requests were granted
United States Marshal White might have
sumo dlflluulty in regaining possession of his
prisoner. It is hinted that un attempt may
yet bo made to tuko Moshor out of White's
custody by u writ of habeas corpus. If this
Is done ho can very easily bo placed in tlio
custody of the state courts and made .to
answer to the many charges yet pending
over him.

Nr.w YOIIK , Nov. 3trs. . Chrlstlno Lath-
rep Gunning , nlcdo nf thd Into Senator
Inland Stanford of California , filed affidavits
n the supreme court chambers today , which
developed ono of the m6st , remarkable cases
of cruelty on record , . She says Gunning ran
away from her nnn his. creditors In Novem
ber , 1883 , with $15,000 df her money , ' after
squandering her fortune of (250,000. Ho was
lost In a Rnovr storm In iho Andes mountains
in May , 1SSO , A judgment on one of the
notes for $5,000 , obtained from her by her
husband led to tlio proceeding's before Judge
Barrett. Lawyer Joseph B. .Burcus moved
that the judgments secured in Connecticut by
the Lincoln 'National bank of this city In
1880 , and also ut Saratoga on February , 1801 ,
bo sot aside. He argued the Judgment could
not bo collected , ns all of Mrs , Gunning's
money was sone. Supplementary proceed
ings in the suit were subsequently brought
to recover on the note , and Wultdr P. Butler
was appointed receiver of Mrs. Gunning's
property. It wus to proyent the receiver
from getting at the Icgncy of $100,000 loft
her by Leland Stanford tliat Lawyer Uarcus
moved the Judgment bo set aside.Her' de
fense-Is that the note was obtained while
she wns under duress , nnd that the ban i : had
been notified before the note was given that
the notes were being obtained from her by
force.
Mrs. Gunning's ' affidavit states that after
her marriage she wont to' Mount Vcruon to
live , nud three weeks afterwards Gunning
began to threaten her'nnd'despoll her of her
property. Ho made tier an inmate of un In
sane asylum for six vfcoks In Hartford.
Since she was removed from the asylum she
has lived with her mother and two children
at Saratoga. She says that on one occasion.
when her husband wanted her toslgnanoto ,
ho presented a revolver at her head. At an
other time ho choked hen until she fainted ,
and once knocked hcr.aown with his fist and
injured her solno. To , save her life , she
signed notes In those Instances. On a cola
night In the winter 67 1887 Gunning wanted
her to sign another note ; and , because she
refused , ho dragged her out of bed and
knocked her down.
Mrs. Gunning says that ho made her sign
another note on Soptonibpr 2ff , 1888 , when
she was about to bedomoVa mother. Ho
drove cverybod5' from her room and told her
that she must sign a uotofor inoro money.
She protested , and fctehlngipen and ink to
the tacdsideho Krabbod.hcr'Hiiiul and caused
her to trace her name on the * note. In Octo
ber , 1887 , Mrs. Gunning sayt .her husband
leased a farm of his hrothdr 'iiear Norwalk.
Conn. , und stocked it with thoroughbred
horses and callc'd 'it a ' 'scien
tific stock farm. " He " added fiOO
acres to it and sunk $300,000 of her money
in it. On October U , 188 , lia induced her to
como to this city. When on ) "tho train , he
told her he wanted her W sign more notes ,
and when she refused ho/thrcatencd / to put
her in an insane asylum , lie took her to tbo
Chemical National bank 'and she there
signed several notes , liiclnmng the ono that
figured in the suit aguliist. 'Her.i Airs. Gun

CHICAOO , Nov. 8. Confusion holds sway at
the fair grounds now. Freight vehicles of

the broad avenues. Thousands of men at
work with hammers und sledges udd to the
din. The Midway is bejng torn down nnd In
a couple of wee'ks thorO'VrUl bo no building
to remind any ono of its existence. Within
the same time the oxhlb'lts that are not re

gone and the main buildings will be de
serted. The territoryfor/blocks about the
fair grounds looks llko nt deserted village
fast crumbling into ruins' The permanent
structures that were used , for hotels during
the exposition are ooing jturned into apart
ment houses and flats , thbugh some of the
bettor hostlcries are yet running on the old
system , with a cheapV.blll of faro nnd
their price for lodging ) Divided by four.
Only about a halt do/.dn gatekeepers nro
employed and visitors ut the pay gates
are so scrco that tbo gatekeeper Is surprised
each tlmo a pay ticket is handed him. The
Columbian guards are $ ho only employes of
the exposition that need not worry about
the immediate future. ' There , nro 1,587 of

December 1 , and the majority of them will
hold on until spring , , \vhon the exposition
company will relinquish control of the

most of them will stand until spring.
The national commission Is holding dally

An effort wns made today to whip In a num

For a minute today It seemed as if the old
days of the exposition had returned. The
workmen suddenly heard shouts of laughter
and all kinds of merry noises proceeding
from the terminal stationt The place was
full of boys , u band began tp piny nnd n pro
cession of youiistors started across the plaza.
Six hundred newsboys tliad arrived from

They came ii | a spccUl train of twelve
coaches , ns the guests pf General Russell A.
