Conference Commlttpo on the Cnlmn
( lucfttlnn Oeln ToKctlier.
WASHINGTON. March 26. After a session
with the senate conference committee on the
Cuban question today of loss than half r.n
hour's duration the house conferees agreed
to accept the scnato resolutions. The con *
forcnco today was merely formal In charac
ter , as this conclusion was practically reached
at yesterday's meeting. This action will
have the effect of taking the question en
tirely out of the senate and of transferring
all further discussion on the Cuban question
to the houso. The senate resolutions are as
follows :
"Resolved. Iy the Sennto ( the house of
representatives concurring therein ) , That In
the opinion of congress a condition of public
war exists between the government of Spain
and the government proclaimed and for some
tlmo maintained by force of arms by the
pcoplo of Cuba and that the United States
of America should maintain a strict neutral
ity between the contending poners , accordIng -
Ing to each all the rights of belligerency In
the ports and territory of the United States.
"Hosolved , further , That the friendly offices
of the United States should bo offered by the
president to the Spanish government for the
recognition oflho Independence of Cuba. "
The house conferees were reluctant to re
linquish the resolutions prepared by their
committee , but the plain alternative was
presented to them of the senate resolu
tions or no resolutions. They wcro In
formed by the senate conferees that the only
cotirpo by which resolutions could bo
agreed Mpon by both houses was ono which
would shut off the senate from moro de-
bato. They were told Senator Halo hod
served notlco that If the question was
brought forward again In the sonata It
would bo debated to the end of the session ,
If necessary , by the opponents ot recog
nition to the Insurgents. The scnato con
ferees also said they bollovcd filibustering
tactics would be resorted to In the esnate
to suppress action If any opportunity for
their exercise was given. These representa
tions prevailed upon the representatives of
the house to accept the senate declaration.
The first section of thb resolutions was
acceptable to them from the first , but the
ozcond. of which Senator Cameron IR the
author , seemed to them entirely Impracti
cable of execution. Under the arrangement
reached the senate conferees < wlll report
the agreement to the senate and the ques
tion will be closed so far as concerns that
body , The house conferees will report to
the house n recommendation that It accept
the senate resolutions and the house will
vote upon tlio ratification of the report.
Chairman Hltt now expects to make the
report tomorrow. Several members of the
house are preparing reports on the subject.
General Draper of Massachusetts , who was
the most active opponent of the resolutions
on the foreign affairs committee , but was
not able to be present during the first debate -
bate , will make a speech.

WASHINGTON , March 26. The naval ap
propriation bill was passed today without
substantial amendment. An effort was made
by the advocates of a larger Incrraso of the
naval strength than was authorized by the
bill to Increase the cumber ot battleships
from four to six. This Increase was sup
ported on the floor by Messrs , Hanley , Cum-
mlngs nnd Johnson , of California , and op-
possd by Messrs. Boutello , chairman of the
committee , Hullck and Robinson. The house
by a largo majority stood by the rccommonda.
tlon of the committee , the proposition for
six battleships mustered but thirty-two
votes against 134. Various other amend
ments wore offered , but all failed , The bill
as passad carries $31,611,034 , and authorizes
the construction ot four battleships and
flftcon torpedo boats , the total cost of which
\VJll bo In the neighborhood ot $35,000,000.
The sundry civil appropriation bill , which
was reported today , will be taken up tomor
row.
row.At
At the opening ot the hoiisa Mr. Hcatwolo
Introduced the following resolution , which
was referred :
Whereas , In lieu of our present Inade
quate banking and currency system It Is de-
itlrablo that congress have the aid of such
recommendations as a non-partisan commis
sion of exports might bo able to offer ,
Ilcsolved , That the president Is herby
authorized to appoint nine citizens , eminent
In trade , po'.ltlcal economy and banking- , tenet
not with the comptroller of the currency as
such commission , and that such commission
report Its conclusions to congress.
Several minor bills were passed as follows :
To provide for reimbursement for the con
structlon ot a sawor on the permaucut reser
vation at Hot Springs , Ark. ; to grant the
Gulf , Colorado & Santa Fc Railroad company
the right to acquire terminal facilities at
Davis , I. T.
THREE HOURS FOR DEBATE.
Shortly before 1 o'clock the houss went
Into commltteo of tho" whole and resumed
consideration of tbo naval appropriation bill.
Itns decided to allow three hours for
general debate on the paragraph relating to
the Increase of the navy. Mr. Hanley , a
member of the naval commltteo , who favored
a larger Increase In the navy than the ma
jority of tbo committee , argued in favor
of an amendment which he gave notlco ho
would offer to Increase the number of bat
tleships from four to six. Although his people
ple lived a thousand miles from tidewater ,
they were patriotic enough and proud enough
to desire to see their country with a navy
befitting Its position as the greatest country
on the globe. Ho thought It was tlmo for
the United States to enter upon a distinc
tively national policy. 116 referred to the
aggressions ot Great Britain and our foreign
complications , as an argument for a strong
navy. The rcbubllcans pursued a similar
course. No party could afford to block the
destiny of the United States , and now that
the republicans were clothed with power
thev should not hesitate to carry out the
promises made when they were In opposi
tion.
tion.Mr.
Mr. Hullck said ho endorsed all Mr. Han
ley had said , but he argued that In vlow of
the condition of the treasury It was unwlsa
to authorize more than four batleshlps In
this bill. As to the building of dry docks ,
the secretary of the navy thought It was bet
ter to expend the money to bo appropriated
for ships than dry docks , and build the lat
ter at some subsequent time.
Mr. Johnson favored the. Hanley amend
ment lor six battleships instead of four !
He ridiculed the bravado with which we had
during the past few months announced our
wllllneness to declare war on the flrst class
powers of the world. With our navy , our
pretensions were preposterous. In tbo "event
of war with Great Britain , we would be
powerless to prevent British ships from com
ing up the Potomac , as they did In 1813 , and
sacking the capltol of the country. God
fought , as Napoleon said , on the side of the
heaviest bnttal'ons. We needed a strong
navy. If wo were to continue to parade our
selves among the nations of the earth with a
chip on our shoulder , we must bo prepared
to fight If the chip was knocked off. No
matter how Just our cause might be , the
devils in hell would laugh at our discom
fiture and say wo deserved our defeat be
cause wo were not prepared.
Mr. Robinson argued In support of the
Judgment of fie committee. Ho had
listened , he said , to the "forensic song and
danco" of the gentlemen from Indiana and
California , but that did not appeal to him.
He and his people were in favor of a liberal
appropriation for a modern navy to police
our coast , but they did not favor an enormous
navy for the purpose of competing with Eng
land or continental powers In a display of
mllltarylsm.
Mr. Cummlngs , also a member of the com
mltteo , followed with a strong and eloquent
speech in favor of a larger Increase of the
navy.
navy.VOTING
VOTING DOWN AMENDMENTS.
Mr. Boutello clojod the general debate In
favor of abiding by the Judgment of the
naval committee. This bill would bn the
largest authorization for ships in the his
tory of the country , and would task our
capacity to the utmost. In conclusion ,
Mr. Boutelle expressed the- hope that the
H tin ley amendment , to Increase the number
of battleships from four to six , would be
voted down.
Tbo vote was then taken on the amend
ment , and on a rising vote Is was defeated.
32 to 134.

Mr. Fit'her offered an amendment author
izing the president to order one or moro of
the vetuels authorized In the bill to bo built
tbo government yards when , In his opinion ,
satisfactory evidence was furnished that
they could be 83 built within the appro
priation. It was Important , ho wld , that
the ship building plants at the government
yardo bo kept In order.
The amendment was defeated , aa was the
ono offered by Mr. Hllborn , to Increase the
number of torpedo boats to bo built on the
Pacific coast from one to flvo. Mr. Tote
offered an amendment to provide that drafts

WASHINGTON , Match 26. As the result
of the sudden death yesterday , ot General
Casey , engineer In charge of the construction
of the congressional library , Mr. Mori-Ill of
Vermont today presented to the senate n
joint resolution appointing Dernard n. Green ,
a clvlf engineer , to succeed In charge of the
library construction at $5,000 annually. Mr.
Morrlll explained that Mr. Qretn was the Im
mediate assistant of General Casey In buildIng -
Ing the Washington monument , the war ,
state and navy buildings and the library.
Mr. Hale took occasion to speak of the high
qualities of General Casey , designating him
an ono of the best of 'all the onicers In the
public service.
A lone discussion ensued , Mr. Hill ob
jecting on the cround tHat It wns proposed
to legislate n man Into odlco.
Senators Wolcott , Proctor , Allison , Call ,
Cockrcll , Gorman and Chandler pa'd ' high
trlbuto.1 to General Casey , nnd approved the
resolutions , although Mr , Corn. an thought
It might establish a bad precedent. Mr. Hill
\\ltliclrc\v his objection and tbe Green resolu
tion was adopted.
A joint resolution " 03 adopted allowing
cx-Presldent Harrison to accept decorations
from Llrazll and Spain.
The bill appropriating $50,000 for a , public
building at Washington , Pa. , was passed.
The joli't resolution was passed , providing
for the appointment of a commission under
the direction of the secretary of war , pre
liminary survey , with plans , specifications
nnd approximate estimates of the cost
thereof , for tlia construction of a ship canal
of approved width and depth from the lower
shore of Lake Michigan to the Wabash river
and for th further Investigation of the prac-
tlcablllty of the construction of such water-
way.1
The legislative appropriation bill was then
taken un.
Mr. Sherman moved to strike out all the
sections referring to a change In the sys
tem of paying district attorneys and
marshals. He spoke against encumbering
opproplatlon bills with general legislation.
Ho also opposed the high ralnrles proposed
by the bill. At a tlmo when the revenues
of the government are leas than the expendi
tures , hlcli salaries should not bo paid.
Mr. Sherman asked why these federal onicers
should receive more tha'n prosecuting at
torneys and other local and stata officers.
Mr. Hear , chairman of the judlc'ary com
mittee , supported Mr. Sherman's motion ,
while. Mr. Hill said It was a good time , when
the populists hold the balance of power In
the senate , to abandon ( he vicious policy of
adding general V zlslatjon to appropriation
bills. Mr. Hill di.-clarM that ho would haz
ard the appropriation 1)111'and risk an extra
session rather than have tu'o change made
by the means of a rider-to an appropriation
bill. The legislative Ulll was then laid aside.

SHE , CLAIMS THE DAVIS MILLIONS.
Montana Milllunulrc LCIIVCM n Fur-
tune to He Koujjlit For.
BUTTE , Mont. , March 20. Something like
consternation was thrown Into the camp of
the numerous heirs and claimants of the
Davis millions last night , when Attorney
M. J. Cavanaugh filed a petition In the
district court in behalf of one Mrs. Huldah
Queen Davis , otherwlso known as Huldah
Snell of Kern county , California , asking for
the revocation of the old will and laying
claim to the whole estate of many millions ,
alleging that she Is the Surviving wife of the
dead millionaire , Andrew J. Davis. Davis
was not known to have been married and
his relatives hero laughed at the claims of
the California woman when flrst heard , about
a year ago. The petition makes her claim
serious , however. She alleges that she was
married to Davis August 15 , 1842 , In Carroll
county , Arkansas , and was his lawful wife
until his death In Buttd , March 14 , 1S90.
Two children were born to them , she says ,
one. May Isabelle , now Mra. Isabella Marrow
of Fresno , Cal. , and the other. Laura Annie
Calhoun , living In San Francisco. The peti
tioner asks that all the property now In the
hands of the administrators bo divided among
them according to law , 'by ' which she Is en- j
titled to one-half and each of her daughters
to one-fourth.
After their marriage Davis went to Cali
fornia and his wife heard he was dead and
married again. Later she moved to Cali
fornia and met him again.
Mrs. Calhoun , ono of the daughters , Is the
mother of Eleanor Calhoun , tbe actress , now
In Paris.

THEY STAXI ) I1Y DR. PARKER
Kpnolvo to 1'rpvont HI *
I'roneetillon If INinxlhlr.
The rrc t of Dr. Parker of this city nt
the Instigation ot the Omaha Medical so
ciety for Illegally practicing mcdlclno was
the occasion for a meeting Of the friend *
of osteopathy at the Commercial club rooms
last evening.
About a hundred men and women were
present. L. M , Hhccm , who called the meet
ing and at whoso request Dr. Edwin C.
Plcklcr came down from Minneapolis to nd-
dress the meeting , acted as chairman ,
Mr. Plohler opened his remarks by say
Ing that 'ho ' name osteopathy Is a nils
nomcr. When the science was first dis
covered , ho said , It Was confined to the
treatment of diseases of the bones , but after
that the science enlarged and the treat
ment of the bones formed but ono branch
of the subject. The science , he said , Is
founded on anatomy. U looks on a human
being as ono whoso condition Is that of
perfect health , The human frame Is re
garded ns a faultless machine , and man's
responsibility Is to see that that machine
Is kept In perfect running order. All Ills
of tha human body are traced to some ab
normal condition of some ot the organs.
Osteopathy Is the adjustment of these ab
normal conditions. Some obstruction In the
circulation of the blood or In the nervous
system' Is considered the source of every
111 , and this obstruction Is removed by
means of manipulation and without the use
of any medicine. The speaker also stated
that no ono Is qualified to treat by means
of this system unless he Is a skilled anat
omist.
At the conclusion of his talk Mr. Uhcom
made a few remarks , telling of a wonder
ful euro which had been effected In his
family in the case of a child , nnd also re
lated some of his own experiences In In
vestigating the science at the fountain head
In Kirksvlllc , Mo. Ho' then touched very
caustically upon the action of the doctors
of the old schools In trying to prevent anyone
ono from practicing healing unless ho had
a certificate from a medical college. Ho
characterized their action as Implying that
they ( the doctors ) had all the knowledge
In the universe on the subject of healing
and wanted to establish a monopoly. Mr ,
Rhecm closed by suggesting an organized
effort to resist the attempt of the doctors
to prevent Dr. Parker from practicing , and
hinted that such an effort should eventu
ally be followed by an effort to revise the
laws of the state on that subject.
A. J. Vlerllng , Charles Beno of Council
Bluffs and M , C. Peters related personal
experiences with osteopathy and spoke of
several rcmatkable cures which had como
under their personal observation.
A resolution was adopted providing for
the appointment of a committee of ten to
take action in the line of supporting Dr.
Parker nnd endeavoring to prevent him
from being driven from the city. The chair
man announced that ho uould appoint the
committee today.

LAYS THE BLAME ON THE DEAD
Langdon Discloses the Defense in the Mnr-
dor Olmrgo Against Him ,
NEW THEORY IN THE M'GRATH ' TRAGEDY
Now Annrrteil Unit the Demi AVotmm
Tried t Muriler Her Lover
mill Afterwnrri Eiuleil
Her Own Life.
PHILADELPHIA , March 26. Another theory -
ory has arisen In regard to Annie McGrath'i
death , This Is to the effect that the girl , bo *
Ing engaged to bo married to a young mnn
whoso real name has not yet appeared , at
tempted to never her relations with Samuel
P. Langdon ; that the latter threatened to re
veal their intimacy if she did M , and that
she , fearing such n disclosure , attempted to
kill him and then commlttcJ suicide. This
supposition Is borne out by statements made
by Mlsa Addle Griffiths , a ft lend ot Annie ,
who nii9 with her the day before her death.
She then told Miss Griffiths that Langdnn
was to meet her that night ( Saturday ) , add
ing : "I'm not going to have anything moro
to do with him. I'll toll him when I t eo
him that I won't keep bis company any
more. "
On the same occasion Annie complained ot
n toothache and Mlro Griffiths went with her
to a U lien Unit street drug store and asked for
oomo chloroform. It was not sold to her and
she said ? ho could get It from a dental stu-
lent whom she knew.
The statement of Bertha Stouart , tha
servant employed In MIO Glrard avenue bouse ,
confirms the story that n quarrel occurred
between the couple on the day the girl died.
Nothing definite concerning the useot
| > olson In the case -\\111 bo known until the
chemist has made his report on the analysis
of the girl's stomach , which will not bo
completed for several days. A number of
letters were taken by the detectives from
Langdon's postoffico box , and several ot
them \\cro from n girl employed as a type
writer for a coal company In Raleigh , N , C.
Those \UTO couched In the most loving lan
guage. The Inquest will not bo held until
next week.
WAS A RAILROAD BUILDER.
A dispatch from Altoana , Pa. , says < Samuel
P. Langdon , under arrest In Philadelphia In
connection with the death of Annie Mc-
Grath , organized and built the Altoona &
Phllllpsburg railroad , leading from the
IJpcch Creek railroad to the mines of the
United Colllety company , and Intending to
connect with the Altoona & Woopeonnock
road , which ho also built , but which has
passed out ot his control.
Although enjoying the reputation ot being
a millionaire , the truth Is that Langdon In
not wealthy. The United Colliery company
of which he Is president operates lu the
deal-field region on a small scale.
A diary has been found In Langdon's pos-
sess'lou ' which lu raid to contain , under data
ot Monday last , the entry : "Atinlo died at
10:11. : "
Mrs. Langdon arrived hero today from
Plttsburg and 'went at once to the office of
Assistant District Attorney Barlow , with
whom slio held a short conference. She
eft the city tonight. The young man to
whom the dead girl was engaged. Is Howard
Fltzslmmons , a Jeweler of Westchester. Ho
was In this city today. In an Interview , ho
said ho met Anna McCrath at Atlantic City
during last aummor Langdon was with her
at the tlmo and passed as her uncle. When
she returned to this city , he visited her a
number of times at her homo. Ho said she
was always very ladylike. Ho admitted
giving her the diamond ring found on Lang
don after his arrest , and on which was en
graved , "II. F. to A. M. " The date for their
marriage was set for June 23 , of this year ,
fie expressed himself as surprised over the
girl's fate , and had no Idea of the dual life *
she was leading.
COURT SUSTAINS TUB COLLECTOR.
All Currant * Coming from Kiuite. Sub
ject to Duty.
SAN FRANCISCO , March 26. United
States Judge Morrow rendered a decision In
the celebrated "Zanto currants" case today ,
n which ho held that all currnntu coming
ram Patras and Ccplmlonla , In the island of
Zante , were Zanto currants In the meaning
of the tariff law , and therefore , subject to
United States duties. The matter was
jrought up by Collector of the Port Wise , In
an application for a writ of review of the
decision of the Board of United States Gen
eral Appraisers nt New York , In the matter
of the classification of 500 barrels of currants
at San Francisco , which v/ero invoiced as
'Plum Pudding Label J2 Currants. " The
collector clarified them as Zanto currants
and assessed a duty of I'/i cents a pound
hereon. The Importers filed n protest with
.he general appraisers , claiming the cur
rants were not Zante curranto , but currant *
; rown In the province of Greece , and there-
ore free ot duty ao dried fruit not otherwlso
provided for in the Wilson bill. The ap-
iralscrs upheld the protest , and thereupon
Collector Wise referred the question to the
Jnlted States court for final adjudication ,
n summing up , Judge Morrow says that. In
ils opinion , the classification " of the article
mportcd and Involved" the case made by
Jollector Wise was correct , and that the cur
rants are subject to the duty of 1V4 cents per
lound. The opposite declnlon of the general
appraisers wnu declared erroneous and or
dered reversed.
