WASHINGTON. June 1.-The house corn-
inittee on rivers and harhore today decided
to recommend to the house the passage of
the river and harbor bill over the presIdent's
'reto. There was no dierence of opinion
between the democrats and republicane. The
only point of discussion was whether the
report to the hou.e should be in th nature
of a reply to President Clevclands objectl905
to the bill and the
contract system , and an
atflrmatlve conclusion wa reached.
There was an attempt in the committee
r , to have the bill brought up In the house
today , but the assurance given by ltepresen-
tative Herman that the bill ouId be called
up Tuesday prevented such Sctlon. It wae
decided to ask the committee on rules to
allow a day or two to debate the affair.
Only two houra debate was had on the pas.

WAShINGTON , June l.-flefects in the
construction of the big battleship Oregon ,
just completed , have recently come to light
and been a subject of inveetigatien by the
Navy department. It appears that there
have been departures from the contract requirements -
quirements as to the thickness of the plates
used in making up the protective deck ,
and that the deck has been made to appear
of the proper thickness by using concealed
plates in the body of the dock. These
fact. , have been called to the attention of the
department by the dissatisfIed employes , but
the contractore hare agreed to make good the
defects. _ _ _ _ _ _

there hal been no election and that the seat
was vacant.
The l'hillips bill for an lnduttrial commis-
abet and the bill for funding all obligations
of Arizona were assal.
Iminedituiy after the chapkln's prayer
Mr. Hem ppulat ! of Nebraske , in aceerdance
with his announced policy of obstruction ,
raised the point of no quorum. It took ten
minutes for the .peaker to count a quorum ,
and then ho remarked "The chair hopes
that members will b present promptly hereafter -
after and sive ths& annoyanees. '
The houre decided by a vote of 130 yeas to
123 nayn that in the contest from the Seventtt
district of South Carolina there bad been no
valid election and that neither Johnson nor
Stokes was entitled to the seat. Those 'rot-
ing in the affirmative were e2venty-two democrats -
crats , fifty-three republicans an-i five popu-
iits. Those opposed were all republicans.
Mr. Cnnon presented a conference report
on the sundry civil appropriation bill which
showed that the conferees had agreed on the
provisions for two revenue cutters on the
great lakes to coat $ lOO.000 ; two llghthousa
otations at Sandusky biy and the compilitton
of revoiutionsry war documents. Disagreements -
ments were reported on several items , in-
eluding all the senate amendments for pub.
lie buildings , and the bill was sent back to
conference.
It being auspenson day , general business
was taken up. A bill to approve ado of the
legislative amembly of New Mexico authorizing -
izing the Issue of certain bonds was pae.ted
150-42. It was then discovered that the senate -
ate should have concurred in the bourn
amendments instead of pansing the bill and
that t would be necessary for the bill to ye-
turn to the senate for its action.
Mr. Phillips , chairman of the commitee On
labor , called up his bill to create an industrial -
trial commission of twelve members , three
representatives each of labor. agriculture ,
manufacture and business ; eilaries at 5OOO

tes ! , municIpalities and hooi districts was
passed.
An attempt was made to pa the bill for
the reorganization of the Indian Territory
based on the report of the Dawes commission
and th amendments based on the report by
Mr. Curtis' bill , but failed on account of the
lack of a quorum. The house adjourned at

VETOES TImEE PENSION fILL.
President Cleveland Explnins ills
Itensons nt Length.
WASHINGTON , June 1.-The preeldent
today returned to the senate three private
pension bills. with his veto in each case.
In the case of two or the bills , granting
pensions to Mrs. Amanda Woodcock and
Jonathan Scott , both originating in the
house , be points out that owing to careless
description in the bills the pensions could
not be paid under their terms.
In the other , granting a pension to Helen
M. Jacobs , the president forcibly sets forth
hi objection to allowing penrions to widows
of soldiers who remarry. The vetoes read as
follows :
To the Senate : I herewith return without
approval senate bill No. 14g. entitled , "An act
granting a pension to Helen 31. JacObs. "
The purpose of this bill is to grant a pension
of Iii per month to "Helen M. Jacobs of
Rochester. md. . wIdow of lIen Oden West. "
It appears from the records of the War department -
partment that Benjamin 0. West served in
the Mexican war from January to Novem-
bet In the year 1547. The beneficiary named
in this bill was married to him in 1S.O , and
he died In 1S.6. She was pensioned as his
widow and receIved ruch pension from the
date of her husband's death until April 17 ,
1S411. On that day she was married to Wil-
11am Jacobs. whereupon her pension ceased ,
but two minor children were awarded pensions -
sions and continued In the receipt of the
same until January , 1173 , when the youngest
chilil became 16 years of age.
The entire absence of any fixed or reasonable -
able principle or rule regulating private pension -
sion legislatIon at this time suggests the
danger of its near approach , In many cases ,
to caprIce and favoritism.
Though I have In a number of instances
deferred to the judgment of congre and
retrained from interposing objections to bills
of this character which seemed to me to beef
of doubtful merit , I am unwilling to follow
such a wide departure from a palpably just
persion theory and assent to the establishment -
ment of such an unrortunato precedent as
this bill involves ,
There is no duty or obligation due ( rosa the
government to a soldier's widow except It be
worked out through the accessed soldier.
She is pensioned Only because he sex-vet ] his
country and through his death she as his
wIdow has lost his support In other words ,
she becomes a beneficiary of the government
because she Is a soldier's widow. When she
marries again and thus displaces the mem-
017 of her soldier husbana and surrenders
al that belongs to soldier widowhoOd she
ccrtninly ought not on the death of her eec-
end husband ho allowed to claim that she
i again the oldIor's widow.

\VASII1NGTON , June 1.-The final vote
on the flutist bill to prohibit the issue of
bonds will be taken In the senate tomorrow -
row , No exact time for the vote has been
fixed , the agreement being that It shall
be taken before adjournment. Moat of the
session today was given to debate on the
bili , Mr. Cullom speaking against it as a
step toward repudiation , and' Mr. Brown of
Utah in favor of this bill or of a resolution
oered by him declaring that the bonds
ucder any future issue would be iliegal and
'roid. Mr. Merrill , chairman of the finance
committee , gave notice of a tariff speech
tomorrow.
Mr. Brown , republican of Utah , presented
the following resolution :
Resolved , That in the opinion of the sets-
ate of the United States. the secretary of
the treasury has no authority under the act
of January 14 , 1575 , to issue any further
bards in addition to those already istued ,
and that any such bonds that may hereafter
be issued by him would be without authority -
ity of law and void.
The resolution went over to be cor.siderel
with the Butler bill later In ths day.
A resolution was introduced by Mr. Lodge ,
republican of Massachusetts , requesting the
president for information as to the zelz-
ure of the American schooner Frederick
Germ by the Canadian cutter Aberdeen.
In Introducing a bill for building the
Nicaragua canal , Mr. Morgan of Alabama
said it was appropriate for the senate o
pass the. cansi bill of last year.
A brief but breezy controvatsy arose over
a resolution offered by Mr. Ilansbrough ,
chairman of the library committee , appropriating -
priating $6,000 for completing the frieze in
the rotunda of the capitol. The picture ,
which is to be the final feature of this
frieze , has long been in controversy.
Mr. Hansbrough explained that the cam-
mittee had two sketches , one showing President -
ident Cleveland touching the electric button -
ton which announced the opening of the
\Vorld's fair. In the background was a
representation of the duke of Veragna and
family-the last of the line of Columbus.
Mr. Hansbrough said he did not think any
senator should allow his prejudice against
the president to prevail in this Instance.
PICTURE FOR THE FRIEZE.
Mr. Hawley replied that it was most
surprising that this historic frieze should
entirely overlook the greatest historical
event since the revolution-the war of the
rebellion. The very omission would create
criticism. Mr. Hawley suggested a representation -
sentation of Grant and Lee shaking hands
at. .Appomattox as an appropriate theme for
an artist. And yet. added Mr. Hawley , suggestively -
gestively , as a bust of John C. Breckin.
ridge-a man who left the vIce presidential
chair to enter the rebellion , was to be
placed in a niche in the senate he would
make no objection to this resolution.
With some warmth Mr. Hansbrough
stated that the Breckinridge bust had been
suggested by at least one of the senatofa
from Kentucky. ' 1 am one that believes
the war is over. " added Mr. Hanebrough.
" 1 object to that sneer , " said Mr. Iw-
icy.Mr.
Mr. Wilson , republican of Washington , oh-
jected to the adoption of the resolution
and it wcnt over.
Mr. Sherman's request for a vote at 2
p. m. on the filled cheese bill was objected
to by Mr. Harris , democrat of Tennessee.
Bills were passed granting right of way
through the Grand canyon , Forest reservation -
tion , Arizona , to the Flagstaff & Canon Railroad -
road company , and granting a pension to
Elvira Bachelder. This pension bill cor-
.rects an error pointed out in a recent vote.
The partial conference' report on the indian -
dian appropriation bill , which has been contested -
tested for three days , was further debatel.
Mr. Viias , democrat of Wisconsin , declared
that the provisiOn as to Indian citizenship
was little short of a legislative outrage
and evidenced a decadence of public moral-
lty and duty.
Mr. George , democrat of Mississippi , also
criticised the conference report.
No action was taken up to 2 o'clock , when
the bond bill was taken up and Mr. Culloni
spoke in opposition to the bIll. He spoke
at considerable length and among other
things he said :
Mr. Cullom of ifllnois spoke at considerable -
able length in the senate against the pond-
tag bill to prohibit the Issue of bonds. He
said In part :
"No one on this floor deplores the issue of
interest-bearing obligations by this government -
ment in time of peace nore than I do ; but
does any senator imagine that the causes
which made the thsuo of bonds neeernary
and which may require further issues , can
be removed by simply passing a bill prohibiting -
ing it ?
"The consequences of the passage oZ the
bill , if It shall become a law , to my mind
are so far-reaching as to be smpIy appall-
ing. In my opinion , it would he the undoing
of all that has been accomplished since the
passage of the resumption act. It would
mean the repudiation of our obligations.
Its tendency would be to place this country
at once upon a silver basis. It would
seriously injure every business concern in
the country which has weathered thus far
the terrible financial storm of the past three
years. It would throw out. of employment
hundreds of thousands of laboring men and
women who had begun to tope that the dawn
of brighter days was here. It is wholly
wanting in common honesty and woud forever -
ever be a bet : upon the page of American
history. "
Mr. Cullom declared the United States
could not alone restore silver as money , and
added : "What the nation needs is an international -
national conference and ratio agreement and
every day makes it clearer to me that such
a conference Is sure to come , and , I believe ,
very soon.
soon.FAVORS
FAVORS MORE SILVER.
"I am In favor of using all the silver as
coin-we can , and we may be able to usa even
more than we are now using , but the question -
tion of the standard should be settled. We
ehould not depart from the gold standard
until we can have the co-operation of other
great commercial nations , for such a sette- :
moot of the flnancial question , I hope and
look. "

in support of the bill. Mr. Stewart was plied

with questions by Senators Palmer , \'ilaa and

Stewart would be tisfled If silver were made
a legal tender up to $ & 0.
Mr. Stewart replied that this would barn-
atring and bind the limbs of one of the
metalo.
Mr. Allison asked if Mr. Stewart's allver
plan contemplated the issue of silver certificates -
cates before th bullion was coined.
Mr. Stewart aaid he would issue certificates
at once and colts as fast as possible. There
war , no doubt , he said , of the ability of the
government to coin silver with sufficient rapidity -
pidity for the needs of civilization. He would
undertake to coin $500,000,000 a year on a
contract to receive the mint charges.
Mr. Brown , republican of Utah , discuened
the bond bill and also the resolutioa introduced -
duced by him earlier in the day declaring
that any lends hereafter irsued would be
illegaL His reason for pronouncing them
illegal , he said. wan the constitution of tht
United States. which expressly declared that
congreas alone. and not the executive , was
autorzed i-a borrow money on the credit of
the United States.
Mr. Allen , populist 16t Nebraska , Interposed
to state that Mr. Brown made no new dLcov-
cry. Prior to an otbe recent bond issues ,
Mr. Allen said. e had introduced a rc'ulu-
tion declaring that' th&bsuea would be illegai
and the bonds void.The purchasers of bonds
from that tkne to- this were warned that the
tltio to tht1r bo4s was at least questionable.
Mr. Brown the Allen rsolu-
tion bad been nowarntng to bond purchasere ,
as it had not pssa. 'Vbat ha ( Brown )
wanted wa.j a resolution giving a notification
from the Untaes , that the title of the
bonds was questlanable.

COLUMBUS. Ga. , June 1.-At 1:41 : thIs
morning a mob of 600 armed men broke
into the Webster building during the trial
of Jesse Slayton , charged with assaulting
Mrs. Howard Bryan last Thursday , and
took the prisoner from the officers. Slay-
ton's trial bad already begun behind locked
doots and a heavy armed guard of men
was present to protect the prisoner from
any demonstration of violence. The mob
forced the doors and with a resistless rush
swept back the spectators and guards and
seized the negro and carried him out into
the street. A rope was placed around Slay-
ton's neck and he was dragged up Broad
street , the crowd shooting at him as they
went along. Near the Bell tower they
swung the negro up and perforated him
with bullets.
After this the mob , as coolly and delib-
erateiy as in the first Instance , went immediately -
mediately to the court house , and , overpowering -
powering the jailer , took Will Myers , a
negro charged with assaulting Mrs. Albright
two years ago , and marched him slowly to
where Slayton's lifeless body was hanging
from a tree. The trembling negro was
made to look upon the fate of his brother
in crime , then a rope was placed about
his neek and he was slowly suspended in
the air ani his body riddled with bullets.
The bodies of the negroes were left hang.
ing during the afternoon and a surging
mass of humanity was packed around the
scene. The greatest excitement prevailed
here , especially among the negroes , and It
is not Improbable that further trouble will
ensue. Mrs. Bryan was assaulted at Clapp's
factcry , four miles from here. early on
Thursday morning. She is a young woman ,
not overlS years of age. Her husband had
left home for Columbus about daybreak.
Shortly after he left a big negro entered
Mrs. BryanTs private room and succeeded
in assaulting her. She fought wih him
fiercely , but her weak condition rendered
her struggles of no avail. He succeeded
in carrying out his brutal purpose and left
her half conscious on the floor of her
room. Regardless of her condition , Mrs.
Bryan rushed to the door and fired two
pistol shots at the negro , without avail.
In a short time Mr. Bryan returned , and on
being apprised of the crime rushed mmmcdi-
ately back to Columbus and with the sheriff
and an armed posse bqgan to scour the
woods for the negro , who was soon cap-
tureci.
