THE SAINT PAUL GLOBE:
HOW Oil OVER ART
BREEZY DEBATE AS TO WHOSE
FACE SHALL, ADORX THE
CAPITOL FRIEZE,
ONLY ONE PLACE REMAINS.
MR. HAYVLEY IXABLE TO SEE WHY
3IR. CLEVELAND SHOULD
HAVE IT.
MR. HANSBROUGH IN THE MIX-UP.
North Dakota Senator Callc I Upon
to Defend the Action Proposed
by Ills Committee.
WASHINGTON, June I.—The final vote on
the Butler bill to prohibit the issue of bonds
■will b« takon in the senate tomorrow. No
exact time for the vote has been fixed, the
agreement being that it shall be taken be
fore adjournment. Most of the session to
day was given to debate on the bill, Mr. Cul
lom speaking against it as a step toward re
pudiation, and Mr. Brovrn, of Utah, in favor
of this bill, or of a resolution offered by him
declaring that the bonds under any future
issue would be illegal and void. Mr. Morrlll,
chairman of the finance committee, gave no
tice of a tariff speech tomorrow.
Mr. Brown's resolution, offered today, is as
follows:
"In the opinion of the senate of the United
States the secretary of the treasury has no
authority under the act of Jan. 1, 1875, to
issue any further bonds in addition to those
! already issued, and any such bonds that may
hereafter be issued by him would be without
authority of law and void."
The resolution went over, to be considered
in connection with the Butler bill later.
A resolution by Mr. Lodge (Rep., Mass.)
was adopted, requesting the president for in
formation as to the seizure of the American
schooner Frederick Gering by the Canadian
cutter Aberdeen.
In introducing a bill for building the Nica
ragua canal, Mr. Morgan (Dem., Ala.) said
it would be most appropriate for the senate
to pass the canal bill of last year. Final ac
tion could not be expected at this session, but
in connection with the favorable action of
the house, it would give satisfaction to the
country.
A brief but breezy controversy arose over
a resolution offered by Mr. Hansbrough (Rep.,
N. D.), chairman of the library committee,
appropriating $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. No explana
tion was given as to the nature of the picture,
but it was indicated when Mr. Hawley (Rep.,
Conn.) interposed with the statement:
"I have no criticism of the presiaent to ex
press. And yet I see no reasuft why the rep
resentations of George Washington and Abra
ham Lincoln should be omitted from that
frieze while a representation of Mr. Cleveland
is placed there."
Mr. Hansbrough explained that the com
mittee had two sketches, one of them showing
President Cleveland touching the electric but
ton which announced the opening of the
world's fair. In the background was a repre
sentation of the Duke of Veragua and family—
the last of the line of Columbus. Mr. Hans
brough said he did not think any senator
should allow his prejudice against the presi
dent to prevail in this instance.
Mr. Hawley responded that It was most sur
prising that this historical frieze should en
tirely overlook the greatest historical event
since the Revolution—the War of the Re
bellion. The very omission would create crit- i
icism. Mr. Hawley suggested a representation !
of Grant and Lee shaking hands at Appomat
tox as an appropriate theme for an artist.
And yet, added Mr. Hawley, suggestively, as
a bust of John C. Breckinridge, a man who ;
left the vice presidential chair to enter the
Rebellion, was to be placed in a niche in the j
senate he would make no objection to this
reEolution.
With some warmth Mr. Hansbrough stated
that the Breckinridge bust had been suggested
by at least one of the senators from Ken
tucky. "I am one that believes tt iwar la
over," added Mr. Hansbrough.
"I object to that sneer," said Mr. Hawley.
"It was not meant as such," answered Mr.
Hansbrough.
"I have no narrow views on this subject,"
proceeded Mr. Hawley. "I thank heaven I
have the warmest feeling for some of those
who were engaged on the other side. But it is
Impossible to belie history. There was a great
war. We have wiped out its animosities, but
the event Itself cannot be wiped out of his
tory."
Mr. Wilson (Rep., Wash.) objected to the
adoption of the resolution, and it went over.
Mr. Sherman's request for a vote at 4 p. m.
today on the filled cheese bill was objected to
by Mr. Harris (Dem., Term.)
The partial conference report on the Indian
appropriation bill, which has been contested
for three days, was further debated. Mr. Vilas
(Dem., Wis.) declared that the provision as
to Indian citizenship was little short of a
legislative outrage, and evidenced a decadence
of public morality and duty. Mr. George
(Dem., Mass.) also criticised the conference
report. No action was taken up to 2 o'clock,
when the bond bill was taken up, and Mr."
Cullom spoke in opposition to the bill. Mr.
Cullom spoke at considerable length. He
said, in part:
"No one on this floor deplores the Issue of
Interest-bearing obligations by this govern
ment, in time of peace, more than I do. But
does any senator imagine that the causes
which made the issue of bonds necessary, and
which may require further issues, can be
remedied by simply passing a bill prohibiting
it? The consequences of passing such a bill,
if it should become a law, to my mind, are so
far-reaching as to be simply appalling. In
my opinion, it would be the undoing of all
that has been accomplished by the passage of
the resumption act. It would mean the re
pudiation of our obligations. Its tendency
would be to place this country at once upon
a silver basis. It would seriously endanger
every business concern in the country which I
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
hope that the dawn of brighter days was at
hand. It Is wholly wanting In common hon
esty and would forever be a blot upon the
page of American history."
Mr. Cullom declared that the United States
alone could not restore silver as money, and
added: "What the nation needs is an inter
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. I am in favor of using all the
silver as coin. We may be able to use more
than we are using, but the question of stand
ard should be settled. We should not depart
from the gold standard until we can have the
co-operation of other nations. For such a set
tlement of the financial question I hope and
look forward to."
Mr. Stewart (Rep., Nevada) followed in sup
port of the bill. Mr. Stewart was peppered
with questions by Senators Palmer, Vilas and
Allison. Mr. Vilas wanted to know If Mr.
Stewart would be satisfied if silver were made
a legal tender up to JSO. Mr. Stewart re
plied that this would hamstring and bind the
limbs of one of the metals.
Mr. Wilson asked if Mr. Stewart's silver
plan cantemplated the issue of silver cer
tificates before the bullion was coined. Mr.
Stewart said he would issue certificates at
TUESDAY MORNING, JUNE 2, 1896.
once, and coin as fast as possible. There
was no doubt, he said, of the ability of the
government to coin silver with sufficient
rapidity for the needs of civilization. He
would undertake to coin 1600,000,000 a year
on a contract to receive the mint charges.
Mr. Brown (Rep., Utah) discussed the
bond bill and also the resolution Introduced
by him earlier In the day, declaring that
any bonds hereafter issued would be illegal.
His reason for pronouncing them illegal, he
said, was in the constitution, which ex
pressly declares that congress alone, and
not the executive, was authorized to borrow
money on the credit of the United States.
He pointed out that the act of 1875 was not
to maintain but to provide for specie pay
ment.
Mr. Allen (Pop., Neb.) interposed to state
that Mr. Brown had made no new discovery.
Prior to any other recent bond Issues, Mr.
Allen said, he had introduced a resolution
declaring that the issues would be illegal
and the bonds void. The purchasers of
bonds from that time to this were warned
that the title to their bonds was at least
questionable.
Mr. Brown insisted that the Allen reso
lution had been no warning to bond pur
chasers, as it had not passed. What he
(Brown) wanted was a resolution giving a
notification from the United States that the
title of the bonds was questionable.
The final conference report on the fortifi
cations appropriation bill was agreed to and
also partial reports on the sundry civil bill
and the postofflce appropriation bill was ap
i proved. Mr. Allison stated that the item as
to consolidation of postoffices was still open.
TOWNS! MAY BOLT.
It Will Depend on the St. Loula Plat
form.
WASHINGTON, June I.—Until after the
St. Louis convention adopts its financial
plank, the people of the Sixth Minnesota
i district will not definitely know whether
| Representative Towne will favor it or not.
■ The matter was put squarely to Mr. Towne
j today. This is what he had to say about it:
"Abe Lincoln formulated an excellent phil
osophy when he advised against crossing a
stream before coming to it, and I will not
: anticipate. I have heretofore said, and now
, repeat, that nobody can authoritatively speak
; for the Republican party but its national
convention. I shall recognize its pronounce
, ment as a definite statement of the party's
position. Whether I agree with it, I cannot
; tell till I know what it is. I decline to as
! eume that the grand old party intends to
I desert any essential ter.et of its established
j faith, or to predicate any supposititious action
; of my own on a presumption of such inten
; tion. I have never hesitated to face an
emergency, but I don't care to cultivate a
reputation for going to meet one."
MINNESOTA APPROPRIATIONS.
Those in the Harbor Bill Not to Be
Attacked.
WASHINGTON, June V—There will be a
vigorous fight on the floor of tlic Tiouse when
the river and harbor bill is taken up with the
intention of passing it over President Cleve
land's veto. It is believed, however, that the
bill will pass, although President Cleveland's
views will be strongly supported by some of
his friends in the .house. Representative
i Dockery, of Missouri, will lead the fight against
the passage of the bill, and will give a detailed
statement of appropriations in the bill not
worthy of the support of the government.
Representative Catchings, of Mississippi, will
answer Mr. Dockery's speech in behalf of the
river and harbor committee. Representative
Towne, of Minnesota, has .been asked and has
consented to deliver a speech in favor of the
! passage of the bill over the veto. Repre
sentatives Fletcher and Towne called on Dock
cry today and discovered that he would not
attack any of the appropriations for Minne
sota, and Wisconsin members do not antici
pate that the appropriations In the bill f6Y
that state will be mentioned by the president's
Missouri supporter.
OVER THE VETO.
House Harbor Committee Decides on
Its Recommendation.
WASHINGTON, June I.—The house com
mittee on rivers and harbors today decided
to recommend to the house the passage of :
the river and harbor bill over the president's j
veto. There was no difference of opinion be
tween the Democrats and Republicans. The
i only point of discussion was whether the re- |
I port to the house should be in the nature of |
a reply to President Cleveland's objections to
the bill, and the contract system, and an j
affirmative conclusion was reached. There i
was an attempt to have the bill brought up '
j In the house today, but the assurance given I
I by Representative Herman that the bill would ',
j be called up Tuesday, prevented such ac- i
ticn. It was decided to ask the committee on
rvlses to allow a day or two to debate the
\eto. Only half an hour's debate was had
on the passage of the bill in the house.
CASTLE'S SUCCESSOR
Not Likely to Be Appointed for Some
Months.
Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, D. C, June I.—it is some
what doubtful if the successor of Postmaster
Castle will be appointed during this session.
The matter has been delayed so long that It
is now probable that no action will be taken
until next December. There have been no
developments in the case, although it is un
derstood that each and every one of the many
candidates Is making a strong fight for Im
mediate consideration.
HABTMAS HOPEFUL.
Possible His Northern Pacific Reso
lution May Be Reached.
Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, D. C, June 1.-Congress
man Towne has succeeded in getting the
Northern Pacific relief bill before President
Cleveland for his approval. There is no
doubt that it will be signed, as it has been fa
vorably recommended by the interior depart
ment. The prospects are that a favorable re
port will be made tomorrow on the resolution
for the reorganization of the Northern Pa
cific. Congressmen Tawney and Hartman
are hopeful that they may secure action on
it immediately, If they can get recognition.
OREGON DEFECTIVE.
The Big Cruiser Not According to
Contract.
WASHINGTON, June I.—Defects In the
construction of the big battleship Oregon,
Just completed, have recently come to light
and have been a subject of investigation by
the navy department. It appears there have
been departures from the contract require
ments 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 three concealed
plates in the body of the deck. These facts
have been brought to the department's atten
tion by dissatisfied employes, but the con
tractors have agreed to make good the de
fects.
THREE PENSION VETOES.
Action of Congress Reversed by that
the President.
WASHINGTON, June I.— The president to
day returned to congress three private pen
sion bills, with his veto in each case. In the
case of the two bills, granting pensions to
Mrs. Amanda Woodcock and Jonathan Scott,
both originating in the house, he points out
that owing to careless description In the bills,
the pensions could not be paid under their
terms. In the other, a senate bill, granting
a pension to Helen M. Jacob, the president
forcibly sets out his objections to allowing
pensions to widows of soldiers who remarry.

Second District Close.
PORTLAND, Or., June I.—Returns from th*
elections held in Oregon today are coming in
slowly. From present appearances the leg
islature will be Republican t>y a large ma
jority. The Republicans hav^twelve hold
over senators in the legislature, the Populists
2, and the Democrats one. The Republicans
will have to elect only four senators out of
eighteen in order to have a majority in the
senate. The state central committee claims
fifteen out of the eighteen, leaving six sena
tors to the Populists and Democrats out of a
I total of thirty. In the last house the Demo
' crats were not represented, and the Populists
' had only four members out of sixty. It la
conceded by the Democrats and Populists that
Bran, Republican, for supreme Judge, will
have at least 5,000 plurality. Tonge, Republi
can, for congress in the First district, Is
undoubtedly elected. In the Second district,
for congressman, the contest is close, and
j complete returns wil be required to decide.
Indications are that ex-Gov. Pennoyer has
been elected mayor of this city.

ing with Carlisle, Watterson, Haldeman and
other gold standard leaders in the contest
for delegates. Maj. P. P. Johnson and Sena
tor Charles J. Bronston, of Lexington; Sen
ator William Goebel, of Covington, and othor
free silver men, are mentioned for Long's
place as chairman of the state committee.
Ex-Lieut Gov. Alford and ex-State Treasurer
Sharp would have contested for the chair
manship if the gold standard men had secur
ed control. It Is believed that Senator Joe
Blackburn will be the temporary chairman of
the convention, and will deliver the keynote
owning speech. Among those mentioned for
permanent chairman are: M-jij. P. P. John
son, president of the National Trotting asso
ciation; Senator Charles J. Bv?nston and ex-

TARIFF CONVENTION.
Political Talk Will Not Be Permitted
at Pittsbargr.
DETROIT, Mich., June I.—Much prelimi
nary work is in progress in anticipation of
tlip first commercial tariff convention (non
partisan) which begins a week or ten days'
session here tomorrow afternoon. A consid
erable number of delegates arrived today,
among them men who are vitally Interested
in eliminating the question of tariff from poli
tics and placing It in the realm of commer
cial subjects. One of the most prominent
early arrivals is W. C. Cronemeyer, of Mc-
Keesport, Pa., president of th<» United States
Iron and Tin Plate company, the pioneer tin
plate industry, and who we 3 a prominent
figure before the house committee which pre
pared the McKinley tariff law. Secretary
Archer, of the Tariff Commission league,
says that he expects at least 1.000 delegates.
The discussions will be confined strictly to
the business feature of tariff affairs and po
litical speeches will not be permitted. The
delegates present will represent commercial
and labor and not political organizations.

BURIED IN TRENCHES.
Bodies of Moscow Victims Put Ont
of Sight.
MOSCOW, June I.—There were 277 victims
buried today. The bodies of those who
were identified and claimed by relatives were
interred in private graves, but at the ex
pense of the municipality, the unidentified
dead were buried In eleven great trenches,
each fifty yards long. The trenches were
deep and the mutilated bodies had to be
placed close together to find room for them
all. Many priests, prominent among them
being John of Cronstadt, famous for his piety
and his power to console and, it is believed
by the peasants, to heal, an a many military
chaplains conducted the funeral services, the
friends crowding around the graves. The
surviving friends and relatives are for the
most part of the Ignorant and simple peasant
class, and their grief and terror at the sud
den calamity are expressed in very demons
trative fashion.
The clothes of the victims were heaped in a
huge pile in one corner of the cemetery, and
in this the people rummaged all day long,
seeking the slightest trace that would afford
a clew to the fate of those missing. The
survivors have only a vague idea of what
happened to them or how they escaped.
They only remember a terrible struggle. Many
of them ascribe their escape to a direct mira
cle.

CHICAGO, June I.—A call has been issued
by Chairman Caldwell, of the Western Pas
senger association, for a meeting of the as
sociation, to be held in this city on Wednes
day next. The principal j thing before the

MISS WESTERN IS SECRETIVE.
Her Attorney Refuses to Divulge the
Date of Her Marriage.
DULUTH, Minn., June I.—The claim of Miss
Kathryn Western that she is the widow of
Rish A. Gray, the Duluth man who died a
few weeks ago, leaving an unencumbered es
tate of $500,000, has created a sensation which
seems to grow rather than diminish In Inter
est. This may be due to a large extent to
the absolute refusal of Miss Western and her
representative to give any information con
cerning her alleged marriage to Mr. Gray.
Her attorney, J. C. Bullitt Jr., who Is also
her brother-in-law, simply says that they were
married in Hudson, Wis., about six years ago.
When asked for the month and year of the

Gray were occasionally together in St. Paul,
and later here and elsewhere.
Gray was a peculiar man. He was very
close In business matters, but socially was a ■
liberal spender and had half a dozen hangers
ou whom he provided with food and drink.
Having an Income of at least |ICO a day he waa
able to do it, but genial as was his social
life he was secretive and somewhat mysteri
ous. His movements were unknown to his
most Intimate friends. He would be away
sometimes for a day or two and when he
came back would tell his friends that he had
been having "a good time," but they always
failed to obtain anything further. As a con
sequence they are somewhat at a loss to know
what to say in reference to this alleged mar
riage. It Is considered quite likely that a
half dozen or so other alleged wives may
present "claims" In due time.

put up by the detective, who was to ta
cover the goods and secure the reward. He

CUTCHEOX CITS IW AGAIM-
He and Jnrcil How Defeat Mn>or
Smith nnd Jim King in r
Hot Fight.
After the Democratic primaries closed last
evening predictions were freely made that
there would be a "hot" convention today.
But after the delegates from the various wards
had met and decided on a temporary organiza
tion th 6 chances for a fight had disappeared, so
far aa anybody could judge.
The primaries were very slimly attended,
and in no case was the vote large, with the
possible exception of the Second precinct of
the Seventh ward. In this precinct Frank W.
M. Cutcheon and Jared How were elected over
Mayor Smith and James King by a majority
of thirty votes. It was a plainly stated lssus
between Michael Doran's supporters and those
who believe there should be a change. The
election of Cutcheon and How made some of
the friends of Smith and King very mad, and
early in the evening they were talking of a
contest before the committee on credentials.
Later, however, the mayor and Mr. King en
gaged in pleasant conversation together at th«
meeting of the delegation. Apparently, neith
er of the defeated gentlemen harbored any
soreness against their successful competitors.
In most of the wards the hours set for the
primaries—4:3o to 6:3o—practically eliminated
the votes of the men who work all day. They
could not get oft at 4:30, and it was Impossible
for any very large percentage of them to get
to the voting places before they closed. The
voters who work down town, but live out in
| the First, Second, Fifth, Sixth, Eighth and
j Ninth wards, knew this and did not make an
eflort to vote. Consequently there was no In
terest, except in precincts where some per
sonal fight was being made.
T. J. McDermott and Aid. Wolf each made
a personal effort for election In the Eighth
ward—the first because, as chairman of the
state committee, he could not afford to be
beaten, and the alderman because he rebelled
against the methods of selecting delegates
adopted by the conference held In the mayor's
j office. Mr. MeDermott made a personal can
vass, and Aid. Wolf said, after the canvasa,
that most of the twenty-three men who voted
in his precinct had to be gone after. |
McDermott, on the other hand, says that the
Doran men were snowed under in both tha
Second and Third precincts, and that the fight
was clearly defined.
William Johnson and Tom Brady made hard
' fights in the First and Third wards. No
■ protest was entered against them last night,
| and they will be prominent in the convention
today.
J. F. Franzen had tha Doran men against
him in the Second ward, but won out; and
the same is true of L. Menimer and William
Hoy, who will have seats as delegates today.
It was 8:30 before the delegates had assem
bled in Court Roota No. 3 last night. J. O.
Donnelly started tfce_busjness by nominating
D. W. Lawler for chairman. He put the mo
tion and It was carried.
Dan Aberle nominated Jim Healey for secre
tary and he was elected, with Ed McNamee aa
assistant.
A call of wards was ordered, to make up a
list of delegates-elect, but quite a few names
were not reported. When this was finished
J. O. Donnelly moved that Mr. Lawler be se
lected to preside as temporary chairman today.
There were no other nominations, and Secr»i
tary Healey put the motion to elect Mr.
Lawler. It carried without any opposition.
Cob Hare nominated Secretary Healey for
temporary secretary of today's convention, and
this was likewise carried. Then the delegates
adjourned.
