appropriation of 140,000 for an Indian exhibit
at the 8t. louts exposition was stricken out
on point of order raised by Mr. Cannon
of Illlnola.
Mr. one. ot Washington offered an
amendment, , which was adopted, to appro
priate 12.000 to remove the Wenatchle In
dians on the Columbia river to the Colvllle
reservation. Another amendment was
adopted ; appropriate 1100,000 to remove
200 mission Indians from their present lo
cation' In Calif oral to the Mount Sorrat
ranch in San Dleg-o county. In too course
of the debate upon a pro-forma amendment
Mr. flherman made the statement that the

Ollej River, leei"ratr.
Mr. Cannon mode a point of order against
the provision to appropriate r0,C00 to en
able the secretary of the Interior to begin
work in the construction of a reservoir
on the Gila river, Arlsona, for storing
water to-be used for the benefit the
Oils Indians.
Mr. Bmlth, tha delegate from Ariiona,
denied that this appropriation , was de
signed at aa entering wedg. for the Irrlga
tlon movement
The point of order' was sustained by Mr.
Mondell of Wyoming, who waa in the chair.
Mr. Smith, the delegate from Arisona,
moved to strlkO out the appropriation for
tho Carlisle Indian school. 'He declared
that experience ahowed these' schools, dis
tant from the Indian reservatlona, bad done
more harm than good. The policy was a
mistaken one, In his opinion. . These In
dian Schools In tho east were, ho said, the
outgrowth of aa-Ignorant aentlment. The
Indians should be taught husbandry at
borne.
Mr- Cannon of Illinois Joined with Mr.
Smith la opposing the eastern schools. He
declared that It -was the height of cruelty
to educate the Indians and thea send thm
back to aavagsry. -
Mr.' Ebsrman opposed the amendment.
After some further discussion by Mr. .Lacey
ot Iowa against and by Mr. ritigsreld,of
New York and Mr. Morrell of Pennsylvania
In support of, tho Smith amendment was
lost
Mr, Bell of Colorado offered aa amend
ment to appropriate $46,000 for the Indian
school at Grand Junction, Colo. It yaa
adopted. . t
Mr. . Fitxgerald of New. York erected
something of a sensation -by moving that
no part of tho appropriation for-tha Indian
school at Mount. Pleasant, Mlcb., should
be used to pay the present superintendent,
whom ho said had been guilty ot permitting
the debeucbof Indian girls.
Mr. Sherman declared that If the super
intendent bad been guilty of the practices
charged, the civil service law would not
protect him, and that If evidence were
produced to Juittry 'the Charges the com
missioner of Indlad affairs would1 dismiss
him Instantly. He proposed that Mr. Fits
gerald go with htm to the Indian office to
morrow and Investigate, the whole matter.
"If anyone has been guilty Oft the things
charged," he said, "he will be Out ot tho
service before night" ' " .'
Wlthoat actlotf on the ' amendment the.

were unable to understand why notice ot
another action should bo glvea pending
this decision. ., ,
It Is stated to bo the intention of both
tho Hill-Morgan d1 JCuhn, Loeb A ' Co.
and Harrlman syndicates to fight the case
out to the end. All the bankers seen ax
pressed themselves at confident ot tho ulti

what the decision may be; the prominent
idea that brought tho. 'company Into ex

tlo animate oa farms and ranges was $2,
981.0S4.115, against $2,208.7S7.61S In 1(20.
There waa a gain In all parte of the coun

cent greater, than In 1890. . .
The number ot horses on farms Increased

The mules on farms Increased generally.
Tha dairy cows on farms and ranches In

In the North Atlaatlo division. In the
South Atlantic division tho value of domes

CURE FOR
TELLS OF PLOT TO KILL RICE
Valet Jones Implicates Himself and Patrick
a the Murderers.
ii i n
CREATES DRAMATIC SCENE IN COURT ROOM
Witness Deliberately Relates Details
of' the Plan aad Eseeatlon of
Crime Mays Chloroform
Was tsed.
NEW YORK, Feb. 20. A very dramatlo
point in the trial of Lawyer Albert T. Pat
rick, for the murder ot the Texas mil
lionaire. William Marsh Rice, waa reached
this afternoon. Charles F. Jones, the valet,
had been relating the circumstances leading
up to tho somewhat sudden death of Rice
in September.
Then, plunging at once Into details, he
held the attention ot bis audience to the
end of hla recital. Freed of minor points,
his story was:
In August, Patrick grew Impatient. Mr.
Rice, though an Invalid, waa living too long
to suit the lawyer's purpose. Patrick said
he would come to tbe bouse and kill htm
himself if necessary. He suggested chloro
form and Jones said hs would get some.
The Idea of chloroform as a means was
suggested by a magazine article. It waa
determined on after Jones talked with a
physician, who aald a person whose heart
was affected, aa was Mr. Rice's, could be
most easily killed with It, and that little
trace of tha drug would be left.
Jones Bays the Drag,
' Jones got a two-ounce vial of it by writ
ing to his brother In Texas. Jones thea
branched off into the' alleged plan to
weaken the already sick oluj man. This
was by giving him mercury and iron pills.
The pills brought on debilitating diarrhoea.
Then they unwittingly had h friend take
Mr. Rice a present of bananas. Of these
tho eld man ato nine. The fruit made him
exceedingly 111 and yet the weakening doaes
of mercury were kept up. By Saturday,
being about the eighth day. of the last Ill
ness, Mr. Rice- became delirious.
This testimony brought . the events up
to Sunday, the day of death, and the wit
ness bad said, that during these ten days
of Illness he bad kept Patrick, Informed ot
tho details personally and by' telephone.
William Marsh Rice's quick death, de
clared tho witness, was decided on at a
conference between Patrick and Jones held
Saturday. Jones had told the lawyer ot the
arlval of a draft of 125,000. Patrick told
him It was time to apply the chlorofofm
now that the draft had come and Captain
Baker was coming, or they, would lose all.
Jonea agreed.
' Jones here told his story of the actual
killing. He made a cone of a towel in
the' small end of which was a chloroform-
soaked sponge. Creeping into the room
where Mr, Rice lay sleeping, he quickly
covered the sleeper's face with the large
end ot tbe cone. Jones rushed out of the
room. In half an hour be came back. He
removed the cone. Mr. Rice was - deed.
Jonea swore he telephoned to Patrick the
words: "Mr. Rice is very ill," the agreed
signal between the two of death.
Jones' atory of the end was concluded by
the statement that Patrick came to the
house and removed all ot Mr. Rlce'a
papers.
