WASHINGTON BUREAU OP THE UCE.
613 Fourteenth Street.
WASHINGTON , Feb. 6.
Senator Allen Is coming to the front.
Since his arrival In the senate ho has occu
pied a seat In the last row on the demo
cratic side near the west door of the cham
ber , and consequently at the maximum dis
tance from tha vice president's chair , al
though there Is really very little choice of
scats In the senate owing to the mall elzo
of the chamber as compared with the house
Late comers In that august body neverthe
less feel a great desire to get closer to the
throne , as they have an Idea that their
recognition depends on their geographic re
lations with the wlelder of the gavel. Sen
ator Allen has yielded to the temptation to
get a hold nnd has made a deal that has
advanced him two rows of seats , nnd has
placed him In almost the front row of the
senate as far as furniture Is concerned. On
the resignation of General Walthnll last
month Senator Allen began negotiations for
the seat thus vacated , which is In the second
end row counting from the front , four from
the north end Senator Turpie. however ,
who sat next to Walthall , expressed his de
sire to get further south , nnd Senator Allen
gracefully submitted to Turple's seniority of
services of years , so Turpie moved one scat
to the left and Allen came In from the back
woods of the last row and took his seat at
the desk formerly occupied by Mr Turpie
This gives the populist from Nebraska a
much more commanding position for hla nu
merous onslaughts against the administra
tion , and for all the other parties In politics.
He Is right In It now.
It Is stated by a republican senator that
the postponement of action on the Peckham
nomination till next Monday has behind It
some smart politics. Certain democratic sen
ators , notably those from New York , who ,
desire the rejection of Peckham. have prom
ised to vote for the Hale resolution compell
ing the finance committee to give hearings
on the tariff bill. There Is to be a vote on
this resolution this week , and It remain ?
to be seen whether certain democrats wilt
support the resolution. If they * do they will
get more republican support In turning down
Peckham than If they play the "cuckoo11
and vote against the resolution.
LOOKING OUT FOR OMAHA.
Copies of resolutions passed by the Com
mercial club of Omaha requesting Senator
Manderson to use bis Influence in having
an Indian supply depot established at Omaha
and guaranteeing lower prices for the gov
ernment has been received and will be laid
before the commissioner of Indian affairs
and Hoke Smith , with a most cordial en
dorsement and urgent request for com
pliance Senator Manderson and Represent
ative Mercer believe that they may succeed
In this effort and are determined to work
together with all their energy for success.
They have also received copies of resolu
tions adopted by the city council asking
them to secure an appropriation with which
to Improve the banks of the- Missouri at
Omaha in the Interest of navigation and will
make an effort to have an amendment to
this end when the sundry civil appropria
tions bill comes up for consideration. This
bill makes the appropriations for river and
harbor Improvements. It has this > ar a
provision giving three-quarters of a million
dollars for Improving the Missouri from its
mouth to Sioux City , and it Is barely pos
sible that an amendment may be { .d'lcd to
the bill directing an expendt'uro or the
banks at Omaha sufficient to reach the de
sired end.

tomary to appropriate In the sundry civil

WASHINGTON. Feb. rf-RecognlzInR the
possibility that the cholera wave which has
been making progreni around the world
from Asiatic sources the jyist two years may
reach the United StaWs trtxt summer , pro-4
vision Is made In the' tiindry civil bill re
ported to the house lant wtek. No direct
appropriation for fighting the cholera H
made , but one clause of the bill provldei for
the 1110 ot the large unexpended balance re
maining from last jcar'a appropriations for
this purpose. In tbe sundry civil bill
passed last March tha sum of 1900.000 was
provided for fighting Uie cholera nnd other
epidemic diseases , as there was thought to
be at that time Imminent danger ot an In
vasion of the plague.
While the good and the eminent ofllccrs ot
the Marine hospital service were employed
through most of the summer In efforts to
ward off the cholera , which had gained so
strong a footh'old In Europe , nnd then the
> ellow fever In Georgia , which demanded
their attention , but J200.000 of the appropria
tion was used , and the balance , $700,000 ,
remains untouched In the treasury
There was some discussion In the meetIngs -
Ings of the subcommittee which drew the
sundry civil bill as to whether thli large sum
should be covered back Into the treasury or
left at the disposal of the Marine hospitals
or whether an entirely new appropriation ,
under different conditions , should bo recom
mended. It was decided to leave the
balance of $700,000 as an emergency fund ,
to be drawn upon In case of need and to
place It at the disposal of the president , as
had been done last year. The president H
empowered to draw upon It In case of actual
or threatened epidemic of cholera , yellow
fever or smallpox , for the federal authori
ties to enforce the quarantine laws , or In aid
of state or local boards of heilth , which may
have to handle epidemics Surgeon General
Wyman of the Marine hospital service ,
under whosn supervision the rigid enforce
ment of the quarantine laws was carried out
last summer , says that he considers this an
ample safeguard so far as financial precau
tions can go against the cholera Although
he asked the committee for a district ap
propriation of sufficient money to start the
fiscal year with the same sum , $000,000 ,
which was at his command last year , he Is
well satisfied with the action taken.
OVER LA > 'D I.EOISLATION.
Contest lictvrccn the HOIIHP and the Senate
Already Hegun.
WASHINGTON , Feb 6 The action of the
house committee on public lands yesterday
In refusing to report favorably a bill -sent
over from the senate granting a certain
amount of the proceeds of the sale of public
lands for the school of mines will probably
be the beginning o'f a contest between the
house and senate in the matter of land leg
islation.
The senate committee on public lands is
made up of western men In the house a
great many western men are on the com
mittee , but they do not come from the min
ing states or from those states where the
great bulk of public lands Is now located.
There have be n several measures proposed
by these senators and approved by the sen
ate committee which will probably not re
ceive favorable consideration by the house.
The scheme of the senators will be to at
tach this legislation to someot the appro
priation bills which , will appropriate on
their subjects , and then will come the real
contest between the house and senate over
land legislation. It is probable that the
western senators will try to get through
several bills In this way which they think
will be of importance to their constituents.
REGARDED .AS KICKERS.
Indian * Who Visit Washington to 3Ial < e
Complaint * Are > ot Listened To.
WASHINGTON , Feb. fi Several members
of the Sac and Fox and Klckapoo Indian
tribes in Oklahoma , and the Pottawatta-
mles In Kansas , are in the city. They
called upon Commissioner Of Indian Affairs
Browning and Assistant Commissioner Arm
strong at the Indian bureau yesterday to
make various complaints about reservation
matters. The Pottawattamles who were In
the delegation urged the removal of Indian
Agent Joseph A. Scott of the Pottawattamie
agency and the Great Nemaha agencies in
Kansas , and a general complaint of being
forced to allot lands In severally was made.
The department has refused to recognize
them as the representatives of their tribes
and regards them as "kickers" whose ob
ject in. making the trip was only to see
Washington. It is probable that they will
accept the advice of the bureau officials by
leaving for their reservation In a few days.

Senator Gray's Hill Relating to the Fur-

WASHINGTON , Feb. 6. Senator Gray has
Introduced a bill to enable purchasers at
Judicial sales of railroads organized under
the laws of the United States to organize a
new corporation. The bill has In view the
possibility ot a reorganization of the Union
Pacific. The bill provides that the purchas
ers ot such a road under a decree of a court
of the United States shall file a copy of the
deed conveying the property , together with
a certificate by a majority of the purchasers
setting forth the name , the amount ot capi
tal stock and the plans of organization , with
the secretary of the Interior , which act shall
vest them with the ownership of the prop
erty. The bill provides for the continuation
of the five government directors until the
government lien is discharged.
The bill also grants the new organization
the right to acquire any property of the old
corporation or of any company since Joined

WASHINGTON. Feb. C. There is a possi

anti-option bill , which was introduced only
a short time ago and seeks to prevent dealIngs -
Ings In options and futures by making it a
crime instead ot taxing them out of exist
ence , as provided for In the Washburn bill
of the last congress Several senators have

ANDREW FOY'S ' SENSATIONAL EVIDENCE
Called by the Dcfi-HM * III Hio t'otichlln Trl.it
He tdilc MIIIIJut tlio Wamm't
ObJrctlomiMn Ill-murk.
CHICAGO , Feb. 6. The presence of An
drew Fey In Judge Tuthlll's chambers today
Indicated nn Interesting session ot the
Coughlln cage There was little doubt of a
bold purpose by ttio defense to put one of
the alleged conspirators , Fey , on the stand ,
In the attack on the testimony of the wit
ness for the prosecution , his wife , Mrs. Fey
As soon as It became generally Unou.ii that
he was In the Wltnosn room there was nn
excited movement of spectators In the court
room , and the news being communicated to
the corridor , a dense mass ot people was
soon clamoring- for admission to the court
room.
Mrs. Bertha Harvey , the wife of a brick
layer , was the flrst witness of the day.
She testified to having seen Mrs. Susie
Horton , a state witness , sitting In the Trent
yard , In a sadly Intoxicated condition This
was on the day on which , according to the
testimony of Mrs. Horton , the latter saw
Coughlln , Cooney and Key meet near her
home.
II C Clay , ticket agent at Edgewater
testified that the flrst morning train from
his station to Chicago In 1SS9 was at 3
o'clock. Dardeen , the witness , hud testified
that he had taken n train at 7 10 on the
morning after he claimed to have seen
Coughlln by searchlight
"Call Andrew Fey now , " said Judge Wing
A tall , gray-haired man , with light gray
mustache came to the stand Every one
leaned forward so aa to not lose a word of
the examination. After preliminary ques
tions. Judge Wing asked "Did you ever
know Dr Cronln ? "
"Yes sir"
"Did you ever know Daniel Coughlin' "
"Yes , I have known him several years. I
used to see him during the spring election
of 1S8D. He came to my house and asked
me to use all my Influence for Thomas
Cratty , the republican candidate for Judge
of the circuit court "
"Did you work for Cratty ? "
"I did. "
"State whether or not you and Coughlln
over held whispered conversations "
"We did not. "
"Did you e\er say anything about Dr.
Cronln in your meetings at that time ? "
"N'o , sir , nothing whatever"
This caused a sensation in the court room ,
as It squarely contradicted the testimony of
Mrs. Fey , who had told of overhearing the
two men talking of the removal ot Dr
Cronln and said she had heard them reading
a letter which Instructed them "to remove
him at all hazards. '
Fey then told of Mrs Horton's condition
on Sunday , May 12. He said she was not
sober. He denied having met Coughlln that
night , thus contradicting Mrs Horton's story.
The witness told of his wife having called
him an anarchist and of accusing him ot
throwing the Haymarket bomb.
"Were you arrested and locked up in con
nection with the Cronln case , like every
other Irishman In the city' " asked Judge
Wine.
"Yes , sir , " replied Toy.
ORDERED STRICKEN' Ot'T
The court ordered the last question
stricken out. There was a heated dispute
among the attorneys over Judge Wing's re
mark before the examination was resumed.
"Did Daniel Coughlln have anything to
do with If" asked Judge Wing.
"Not to my knowledge. "
"Did men ever come to your house and
conspire to kill Dr. Cronln7"
"No sir "
"Did your wife ever call you the murderer
of Dr. Cronln and say that Michael Ken
nedy drove the wagon that carried his
body away ? "
"She did. "
"I will ask you If you lived with y/pur /
wife up to the time she testified In this case
That is until they put detectives into your
house * "
"I did , " replied Fey , and turning to the
court ho said"They put detectives In
my own house , your honor. "
"Did you ever see Martin Burke at your
house' "
"No sir. "
"Did you ever read aloud a letter to
Coughlin In your house ? "
"No sir. "
Fey said he never knew Burke. Cooney ,
O'SulIlvan and the other suspected camp 20
men. .
On cross-examination Fey said he had had
fifteen children , and that Mrs. Fey Is the
mother ot all of them. After several
questions , Assistant State's Attorney Bottum
sprung a sensational query.
"Did you tell your sou , Thomas Fey , " he
asked , "that your testimony concerning John
Boyle In the defense of Coughltn was per
jury that you had him give It to save your
self ? That something desperate had to
be done ? Did you not say that ? "
"No , sir , I did not , " replied Fey
Toy said he was at a meeting of camp 20
on the night of May 3 1SS3 , and might have
seen Coughlln. Burke and Cooney there.
He did not remember The night of May \
he was home and in bed.
"Do you know anything about events
which took place In the Carlson cottage the
night of May 4 ? " asked Attorney Bottum.
"Only what I have read In the newspapers
"
papers
"Then you have no personal knowledge' "
"No sir "
"Did you not send a letter to the Chicago
Times , written In the presence of jour wife ,
purporting to be the dying statement ot a
doctor and describing the events of Slay i In
the Carlson cottage , by which events this
doctor came to hla death' " .
The question was a startling one , but had
no visible effect on the witness.
"I did not , " ho replied.
The letter was shown to Fey , who again
said he had not written It.
THe defendant's lawyers moved to have
the letter Incident stricken out , but the
motion was overruled by the court.
The letter which Mrs Fey says was writ
ten In her presence purports to be the ac
count in a dying physician's words of his
own murder in the Carlson cottage. The
matter wai printed at the time It men
tioned a criminal operation on a young girl
and a brother's revenge. N'o name was
signed.
Mr Bottum asked Fey if he had not of
fered his wife $100 and a pledge to stop
drinking If she would not testify The wit
ness denied this The cross-examination
continued throughout the afternoon.
