opening scenes were waraiand pyroleehulc.
The bctone iiibl focroie the final cuituln
bhowed thntallthenewspapei speculations
us to when the Senate would adjourn
were away out or joint with the tacts.
There was no cue within earshot of the
Bouate yesterday afternoon who did not
leave those products in the belief that
when the body would adjourn is a new
and difficult problem. It looked as if tiie
democrats meant to have a vote on the
Union Pacific Railroad lesolutiuii of
Senator Hams, against whkh bo far the
Republican have conducted a very suc
cessful fllibustoi. There wan a determina
tion expressed by three or four strong
Democrats to hold up the taiift until the
Republicans yielded on ccitain matters,
these probably including the Pacific
Railroad resolution uiid a modification
or the bchcdules affecting the Southern
farmers.
Nearly all the Democratic, Fopulist and
Republican Senators who have attacked
the lanfr by rather load inuen do, Intimated

committee of which Mr. John P. Jones is

schedule
and all others. Mr. Tillman's involution

tain eorroejjonrtentsaftirmedoi disproved.
These eorrebpondents said in specific
tenns what Senators on the floor mid in
Kencral tenns- Mi. Tillman's lexolullon
was reported againt-t Ijy Mr- Jones and

Uie Senate today; liecaut-e the Democrats
who liave been most vocieferous in the
charge of Republicans being carruimtd by
tne sugartrustwereleastdeuiouslrative yes
terday when Mr. Tillman wanted votes
to have the ieolutlon read. There will be
another chance to t-peak on the le solution
today-
Senator Carter called up a bill to give
& certain company the right to con
struct roads, railways, wagon roads
and trails from the tidewater at Ju
neau to the interior, over the mountains!,
through "White's Pass, east of the Chllkat
Pa. The bill, or course, asks thef-e
privilege? through the Secretary of War.
It proposes to give the company the right
to use all materials on the route.
The bill was reported favorably, bur,
was allowed to lie over, but now It ap
pears since tiie great gold discoveries that
such a route would be very expeditious, and,
beudes, it Is intimated that British Colum
bians are claiming some or the northern
limits of tiie proposed road.
Mr. Davis desired to know if it were
contemplated to give the proposed com
pany a monopoly of the right to construct
a road on this line.
Mr. Carter said it was expressly stipu
lated that there should be no monopoly.
On the objection of Mr. Berry, the bill
went over until today.
Mr. Bate introduced his new colleague,
Mr.Turiey, Senator Harris' successor from
Tennessee. His credentials were read.
Mr. Chandlei called attention to tiie ap
pointment having been made during the
unexpired term of thelate Senator Harris.
Instead of waiting until the meeting of the
lepltlaturc, but tills defect having been
cured by other language in the appoint
ment, itwasnotlnsistcd on.
Mr. Turlcy was escorted to the Tice
President's throne, where he was sworn In.
Wr.Turleyhasa very kindly face, and they
cay lie is a good orator.
Mr. Tillman here had a slap at Senator
Jones of Nevada, the chairman of the
Committee on Auditing and Control of
Contingent Expenses. To this committee
had been referred the resolution of Mr.
Tillman seeSipgto provide for a reinvestiga
tion of charges made by correspondents re
cently against Senators for dabbling in
sugar stocks.
Tiie resolution has been smothered by Mr.
Jones for a month or more. In the moan
time there has been some sharp verbal
correspondence between Mr. Tillman and
members of the comnrittee as to whether
Mr. Jones did or did not say that ho
would not consider the resolution.
Mr. Jones has evidently been watching
Air. Tillman as closely as Mr. Tillman has
been watching Mr. Jones. Roth came Into
the Senate this morning armed with res
olutions. Mr. Jones sat near the door of
the cloakroom. Mr. Tillman satin his scat.
As soon as convenient Mr. Tillman of
fered a resolution that Ml John P. Jones'
committee be discharged from fnrther con
Eideration of the Tillman resolution.
Mr .Tones whose Byronic collar had not
yet become wilted, it being still the morn
tag hour, came In hurriedly, and offered a
report on a resolution from his committee.
Mr Tillman Is that my resolution?
Mr JoneB Tes.
Mr. Tillman Then I withdraw my reso
lution, In order that the report offered by
the gentleman from Nevada be read. I
would like to have a vote on the resolution.
Mr. Gallingcr The regular course would
be that it lie printed and goto the calendar.
Mr. Tillman-T want the report read.
I iimjvd that it be read.
Mr. Allison I hope that won't be done.
because I tlilnkitls important that wepro

The Vice President-Is objection made
to the reading?
Mr. Gallingei Yes.
3Ir. Tillman T Insist upon having lb
read. I would like the Vice President to
rule on the point whether when a report
1b presented the reading of it cannot bo
called for.
Mr Gallinger The case is covered by
rule 36, section 2,of the rules. (Mr.Gailinger
read the rule.)
Mr. Tillman The report ought to lie

paper, and means nothing. I move that it

The rei.ort cf Mr. Jones, committee is
adverse to tiie Tillman resolution.
A resolution offered by Mr. Alien to in
vestigate tiie movements of the Southern
Pacific Hallioad in the neighborhood of
San Pedro was also sent over until to
day. A motion to temporarily luy abide the
tarirr bill was voted down. Mr.llarriscould
pet no assurance as to when the Senate
would finally consider the Northern Pa
cific Rallioad resolution.
Mi. Chilton addressed the Senate gen
erally on the subject of tlietaiiff, reading
his remark., which were a completoanaly
sls of the schedules and the effects they
will have on the poor people of the coun
try. During the speech lie was interrupted
by Mr. Tillman, and there was an interest
ing rapid-fire colloquy.
Mr. Tillman If protection is to he the
rule in this country, and the farmers are
expected to bear the greater share of tho
burdens, ought not they to be entitled to
tome consideration uniler that system of
protection?
Mr. Chilton I say that you can never
benefit the farmers by protection; for the
relation of the- fanners to the manufactur
era and importers is mich as that the latter
are beyond thepower of the agricultural
classes.
"The only way to benefit the farmer Is
by striking down the system."
Mr. Tillman -And can yon conccivcof any
more potent way of striking down the sys
tem than by giving us our share and so in
the end throttle the system?
Mr. Chiltou The point lias been reached
when there Is less and less hope of mailing
headway against protection except In one
way. We must teach the farmers that tliey
can never benefit by a share in protection
robber-,-; we m'ltt teach them to raise again
the banner of free trade; go back to lite
principles of 1S!?0.
Mr. Tillman-How will you leach them
that?
Mr. Chilton -By constantly and maiirully
standing to our guns; by showing the people
the cvllethc-protective system has wrought;
by teaching them by lessons from their own
experience. It may take two, four or ten
years, but It must lie done in that v, ay.
Mr. Tillman replied that it would be
better to show the farmer that he pays
the piper, and that he should, if he could,
get some compensation in a bounty sys
tem. Ae soon as he gets the taste of ono
drop of the bounty or protection blood lu
his mouth, he would soon destroy the
whole system by the enormity of his de
mands. Mr. Chilton insisted that the way to
succeed was to stand by the banner of
the free trade Democracy.
Mr. Tillman And what did you get out
ol the free trade majorities or 1S92 when
the Interests of the people were ignored
through tiie treachery of the leaders?
Mr. Chilton retorted that Mr. Tillman J
might as well argue that as the cause
of free silver was lost it should uot be
resumed again
Mr. Tillman said there was no analogy
in the comparison. He persisted that the
quickest way to get the true Idea of the
situation into the benighted souls of the
farmers was to make th Republicans
grant an equality of benefits under pro
tection. Mr. Chilton said, further, that if the
people expected him to enter into any
scramble for protection benefits they might
as well send another Senator in his place.
Mr. Chilton made the further point that
there was nothing to be gained by the
Democracy in cither an open or silent
partnership with protection.
Mr. Clay of Georgia sustained the view

HELPED HIS FRIEND TO DIE
Wise Bought a Pistol for Osborne
to Kill Himself With.
Went With Him to a Quiet Spot,
Where the Fatal Shot
. ' Was Fired. J
New York, July 22. If the rematkable
story told by his friend, Adolph Wise, is
true, Major J W. Osborne, laid piaus
to kill Himself with the greatest pre
meditation and cheerfulness, aad Wise
helped him to carry them out.
But if the mutterings of the wounded
man, who lies at the point of death in
the Norwegian Hospital, Brooklyn, can
be relild upon, he received the mortal
wound ac the hand of another.
One of his friends was Adolph "Wise, of
Sixty-fifth street and Seventh avenue,
Brooklyn A few days ago Osborne, who
had lost his position in a Brooklyn bank,
told Wise causally that he thought he
would kill himself.
"I think that would he a pretty good
idea," leplied Wise, cheerfully, taking
it as a joke, he says.
"Will you buy me a pistol?'' the major
asked.
"Certainly," was the reply.
The old friends arranged to meet yester
day at the saloon bf Otto Bans, of Eighty
sixth street, and Foit Hamilton avenue,
Brooklyn. Wise reached the saloon at 1
o'clock and began to play cards. Until
G o'clock theyplayed, chatted and laughed.
Then Wise left the place. In a few min
utes Osborne followed him. The two met
on the outside.
"By the way, Adolph," said the major,
"did you get me that revolver?"
"res," replied his friend. "Here it is.
It cost me SI.
The two men sauntered along the street
toward Fort Hamilton. They talked and
joked, according to the story told by
Wlse to the Brooklyn police, and were
both in excellent spirits.
Finally they readied a cool, shady spot
at Eighty-second street, near Stewart
avenue.
"Here's a good spot," said the major, and
before Wis3 could prevent him, he pulled
the revolver from his pocket, placed it to
liis head, just above the right car, and sent
the bullet into his brain. The major handed
the pistol to Wise as he fell. The dying
man was removed to the Norwegian Hos
pital, ne lay there this morning with his
mind rambling from consciousness lo irra
tionality. He is under the special cars
of Sister Matilda.
"I didn't do it; no! I didn't do it," he
muttered.
"Who didit?" Sister Matilda asked gently.
"Oh, I don't know; can't remember," he
answered with a moan.
"Wise was taken to the Coney Islan'ipolice
court and held pending an investigation of
the case.
Wise, who is sixty years old, was charged
In the Coney Island police court with
violating section 176 of the penal code, in
aiding and abetting a man to end his lire.
Justice Nostrand held Wise in the sum
of $1,000 for trial.

Burglars Kill G. M. Nichols and
. Fatally Wound His Sister.
REVIVE THE WOUNDED WOMAN
Then Compel Her to Show Them
Where Mouey Is Concealed Eat,
Driolr, nnd Mahe Merry While
Their Victims Lie Bleeding in
the Same lloora.
Bridgeport, Conn., July 22. Two masked
burglars who had been frightened, early
tills- morning, out or the house of George
Marcus Nichols, a wealthy farmer, living
at Daniels' Farms, a viliiige in the town
of Trumbull, Fairfield County, returned to
the house lil teen minutes after their scare,
smashed in a door, behind which they
could se Nichols and sister still searching-
for .hem, and without warning shot
them both.
They ioi.ed the sisterto tell where $185
in money was concealed and they took that.
'Xney loaded the table in thedining room
with pics and cakes and liquors, and bat
with the dying farmer and ate and drank
and made merry. They even fed brandy
and waler to him. They ransacked the
house finally. Two hours aftei their first
visit they went away, promising to leave
word with a neighbor that a doctor was
needed. Farmer Nichols died shortly after
they left. His sister, though terribly
wounded, may recover.
The crime resembles in 'many respects
anoth'er robbery and another murder, eacli
of. which oer.urred within three miles of
the Nichols' home.
The burglars, when discovered by the
aged couple, opened fire, Mr Nichols
fell dead with a bullet in his breast, and
Miss Nichols was shot through the neck.
The robbers struck a light and the two
or them picked up the dying man and
seated him in an old-fashioned arm rocking
chair. One of Ihe robbers sat down In
a chair beside him, while the other one.
Ills pistol still In hand, went up to the
woman. He grabbed her and forced her
down on the floor,
"Where Is the money?" he said.
She was (oo frightened to speak.
"Damn your soul, tell me where that
money is or I'll kill you," he repeated.
"We are poor," the moaned. "We have
no n-oney."
The robber ?it down on tiie bed and said
in an argumentative way: "Come, now,
tell u. where the money is. IT you'll give
uk $50 we'll go away, ir you don't we'll
kill you anyway, damn you."
"It's in the bureau," said the woman.
The robber forced her to her feetandmade
him lead bin. to her own room. Site pointed
to the buicau and she tat down on the
floor again. In the drawer where she
told him it was there was $G0 in bills,
lie took this and came back to her flourish
ing a levolver.
"You've got more money," lie said; "tell
me where it is or I'll kill you."
"All I have," she said, "is $25 in gold.
It belonged to my mother. I don't care for
It for the value; but please don't take it"
"Oh, damn sentiment," said the robber.
"Where Is It? We want it."
And she told him. He got it and returned
again to her.
"Now," ne said, "where's the rest of the
money?"
"I have none," .she said. "You have it
all."
"Well, your brother's got some. Now
show me where, or I'll kill you."
Wounded as she was the robber forced
her to go to her brother's room, where
they secured $100. After securing the
money the robbers placed Niohols, who
was dying, on the sofa, and gave him a
drink of .vater.
One of the men then went to the cellar
and secured two bottles of cider nnd from
the pantry took pie and cake and brought,
it to the room where their victims were
and coolly sat down to the table and ate
a hearty meal.
The police are after them.

the report that General Gomez was march

BRITIUII'S REPLY A WAHSHIP
Tiie Ironclad Renown Is Ordered
to Alaskan Waters.
A SGHEME OF
ANNEXATION
One of tho TAqu's Cubs Ttoars Oat
Defiance and Talks Gravely of
Rectifying tho -Canadian Frontier
by Annexing Maine, New Hamp
shire, Vermont and New Yorhr.
London, July 22. What may be inter
preted as the British reply to Sherman's
recent dispatch concerning the Bering Sea
fifcheries comes today In the form of an
order issued by the admiralty to send the
battleship Renown to Join the North
American squadron. The Renown, which
Is one of the most powerful ironclads in tho
Britifcb navy, will take the place of the
cruiser Crescent. She will sail for Halifax
almost Immediately. It-will probably be
denied that any horttte significance at
taches to this Important action on the part
of the admiralty, but no one acquainted
with the methods of British international
policy is likely to accept an innocent, inter
pretation. The Renown was the flagship of the
fleet at the recent naval review held at
Spithead.
It was fully expected, until the ad
miralty's orders were made public, that
the Reuown Would be smt to the Pacific
btatlon, it being originally Intended thac
she should be the rlagshlp of the .Pacific
squadron. In view "Of "this, the change
in the admiralty's plans acquires additional
significance. -J,
The resentment excited by the dispatch
of Secmtarv Shcrmari.to Ambassador Hay
has reached an amusing stage. The Daily
Mad gives prominence to a jener wuneu
by a gonllemhn whose ire has been arouseu
by the tone or the dispatch, and who begins
his communication" thus:
"I think it very probable that war will
occur between Great Britain and the
United States before long- If B0 v,"u
ought to take the opportunity of rectifying
the Canadian frontier by annexing Maine,
Vermont, and New Hampshire and part
of New York' State.- Such rectification
would shorten the-frontler several hundred
miles and give Canada a seaport (Portland)
which would be free to navigation all
the year. We ought to also annex Alaska,
and the Sandwich Islands."
AS TO QUESTIONS AT ISSUE.
Statement of the Relations Between
Britain and America.
London, July 22. -The newspapers here
print prominently what Is claimed to be
an authoritative statement regarding the
position of Great Britain and the United
States on pending questions. The state
ment does not contain much that Is new.
It dwells upon the determination of Sir
Julian Paunccfote, the British ambassa
dor to the United States, to exchange rati
fications of the Venezuelan agreement
before lie lert Washington for England.
This occupied longer than was expected
and subsequently there was coniiderable
correspondence on the subject of the re
newal of diploniatlo relations between
Great Britain and Venezuela.
The latter erroneously believed that the
signature of the arbitration treaty had been
effected. This,aaaamatlerof course, will
be the nexr step. Probably there will be
direct negotiations between Great Britain
and Venezuelaa for a commercial treaty.
The negotiations concerning the umpire
of the arbitration tribunal are still pend
ing. The statement goes on to say that the
failure of the Anglo-American arbitration
treaty greatly disappointed President Mc
Klnlcy. The British government had in-

duced discussions between Sir Julian
Paunccfoto and Secretary Sherman as to
whether a new tliort treaty could not be
arrived at. The negotiations to this end
have progressed favorably and will be re
sumed in October on the return of Sir
Julian to bis post.
Continuing, the statement declares that
the outlook for a satifsactory solution ot
the sealing question Is favorable. When
Sir Julian returns, Commissioners Jordau
and Thompson will po to Washington and
rt'iort the "result or their Inquiries. They
will be examined by both the representa
tives or the United States and Great
Britain, who will then come to an agree
ment as to the exact facts of the situa-.
tion. It is believed, says the statement,
that there will not be much difficulty in
this, as a wise spirit on both sides to
smooth away difficulties ought to be ob
served and tome lasting arrangement on
a fair gi e-and-take principle may be es
tablished. MORTON CADETS FAVORITES
Experts Think They Will Win the
Eirst Prize.
Given an Ovation by the Grand
Stand at the Conclusion of
the Drill.
San Antonio, Tex., July 22. This was
Governor's Day at the Interstate Drill and
the attendance was large. Thestar feature
of the program was the drill or the .Morton
Cadets of Washington, D. C. The company
was inspected in the morning anddrllledin
the afternoon.
In uniforms, guns and accoutrements the
Mortons were well-nigh perfect, but the
men did not handle themselves as well as
expected They were a little nervous at
the sturt and several errors were made.
Four of the men fainted in ranks during
inspection and were carried off the field.
But the company redeemed itself by their
drill, nnd arc tonight the universal favor
ites for first place.
The Individual errors were less than in
the drills of the other companies. There
weie no errors in the manual, and about
the only fault found with the drill was a
slightly ragged fire of one vollej, a
short and too quick step, and one bad
stack in the bayonet stack.
The platoon movements could not be Im
proved upon and the flank movements
were beautiful. Every man in the team
held himself in a soldierly manner until
the last command had been executed.
They were very steady and handled the
guns with ease and precision. To the
naked eye no errors were seen in any of
the Morton's manual.
The manual by the numbers was grand
and aroused the enthusiasm ot all military-loving
people who witnessed it.
The motion of the hands and the cadence
were perfect. Capt. Shilling finished the
program in thirty-one minutes and drilled
his company In a fcmall space. He read
his program like an old-timer aid was
about the coolest headed yet on the field.
The Mortons were given an ovation by
the grand stand, and are very popular
socially.
A PROTEST F1LF.D.
Morton Cadets Charged With Prac
ticing the Competitive Program.
San Antonio, Tex., July 22. -Late to
night Capt. Ed. S.Bean, of Company D,
St. Paul, filed a protest with the bcaTd
of judges against the Morton Cadets,
charging them with practicing the com
petitive program In camp before going on
the field. He does not charge that Capt.
Shilling had a copy of the program, but
that nevertheless he practiced the move
ments in the program. The affair has
created intense excitement. A copy of the
protestcannotbe had tonight.

Will Not Relay the Vote.
IT MAY RE TAKEN TODAY
Senator Morgan Objected to Fixing
a Time for a Vote Because He Did
Not Wi.ib the Dlans of Absent
Senators to Be Interfered With.
The Currency Menage.
The attitude of Mr. Morgan yetterday
afternoon in objecting to an agreement
for a time to take the vote on tne con
ference report does not Indicate the
striking of so great a snag as may have
been supposed. The Alabama Senator
simply did not care to tie the Senate up
and prevent any oiie who may have been
absent: from speaking if ha so desired.
After the Senate adjourned Mr. Morgan
t.iid he believed the vote might be taken
today bfore adjournment, and certainly by
tomorrow. Several set speeches for cam
paign consumption are still to be delivered.
Senator White remained away yesterday
In. order to prepure a speech, which he is
booked to deliver today. Mr. Teller has
the floor and will speak when today's
hctsion begins.
Mr. Peltus also wishes to make a few
remarks and Mr. Caffery is understood
to be ready to criticise the bill at some
length. With these speeches out of the
-way it would seem, that the debate would
be exhausted.
Tt-e Republicans are saying nothing.
They are simply waiting for the talk to
cease, and last night Mr. Allison felt quite
confident that the end would be reached
today.
IC the currency commission message
comes in it will cause only a temporal
flurry. The House may pass the bill
recommended, under the gag rule, but
the Senate will leferlt to the proper com
mittee and there It will stay until De

the chances are unusually good Tor an ad
