Mitchell Disagrees Emphati

An Exciting Discussion in tlio Sen
ate Tariff Debate in the House
The Work of Congress.
"Washington, May ID. In the Senato
to-day Hale, from the rommittcc on ap
propriations, reported back tho annual
naval nppiopriation bill. The silver bill
was then taken up, and Dolph addressed
ethSenate.IIo thought that international
action was desirable in considering tho
various plans proposed, and was satis
fied that the plans recommended by the
secretary of the Treasury were open to
less and to fewer objections than any of
the others. The purpose was to keep
Itotli gold and silver coin in circulation.
Ho argued against tho free coinage of
silver as something that would stop tho
coinage of gold, but remarked that
what he said in regard to free coinage
did not, of course, apply to free coinage
under an international agreement es
tablishing a ratio letwcen gold and sil
ver. At tho close of Dolph's speech,
Teller criticised it and said that it would
not do for the Senator, or any other
Senator, to say with unction that he
was for a double standard, or for Silver,
and then to favor measures which were
absolutely destructive of silvei as
money, lie did not propose that the
country should be deceived into
believing that tho proposition which
came from the finance committee meant
silver at all. On the contrary, it ireant
the single gold standard.
Mitchell expressed dissent from the
views expressed by his colleague
(Dolph), saying in part: "Tho two
btate conventions that recently met in
Oregon each resolved unanimously,
without any hesitation or equivocation,
that they were in favor of free and un
limited coinage of silver. I believe
each of those conventions was com
posed of representative men of their
respective parties in our state. I be
lievo that in adopting these resolutions
they voiced the sentiment almost uni
versally of the people of Oregon, and
therefore I do not desiro it to go out
that hiv eollcaguo's speech on this ques
tion vulcei the whole of tho sentiment
of Oregon, so far as the representatives
of that state are concerned on this
floor."
On motion of Wilson, of Iowa, it was
ordered that the Senato bill subjecting
imported liquors to the provisions of
tho laws of tho several states bo taken
up tomorrow after the routine morning
business.
After an executive session, tho Senate
adjourned.
Washington, May 10. Tho House
went into Committee of tho AVhole on
tho tariff bill. Wilson, of West Vir
ginia, asked jHoyno if ho endorsed
Campbell's letter, so far as they ap
plied to him (Wilson). Boyne denied
that ho intended any reflection on either
llynttm or Wilson.
"The House, in committee, then pro
ceeded to a consideration of the tariff
bill, tho pending amendment being that
ouereu oy l-unston, oi Kansas, smiting
from the metal schedule the proviso that
silver ore and all ores containing lead
shall pa) n duty of 1j centa per pound
on the lead contained therein. lrank,
ot Missouri, regret toil that tho amend
ment emanated from tho Republican
side and optKised it. Hopkins, of Illi
nois, contended that the importation of
Mexican ores was a blessing to Ameri
can miners, as well as to the working
men enraged in smelting, and, in tho
name of American labor, he protested
against tho proviso, which would con
trol tho output of American miners.
Crain, of Texas, sai-' that lead and sil
ver in tho proviso were illustrative of
the illogical sequence of protection,
namely the prohibition of imortntions.
The adoption of the proviso in tho bill
meant ruin to all frontier towns and in
calculable injury to American capital
invested in Mexico. Dulwis, of Idaho,
objected to Hopkins jKwing as a repre
sentative of the miner. No word in fa
vor of free lead was ever heard from tho
representative! of the miners. Tho
amendment struck a blow not only nt
the miner but at the silver producers.
1'erkiin. of Kansas, protested against
tho amendment as putting tho Ameri
can minor in competition with the Mex
ican workman.
Towns-end, of Colorado, said that tho
amendment was in the interest of Mex
ican miners. It would ruin the mining
industry in the west.
Chiiiie, of California, and Cnrtine, of
Nevada, also opjwscd the amendment
vigorously.
It was then rejected, 01 to 120, Hop
kins, Funton, Maon, Buttcrworth,
Kelly, Pot, Adams, Gear, and Morrill
voting in the affirmative, and Clunio
in the negative.
Hopkins offered an amendment pro
wling that ore containing silver and
lead shall be admitted on a pavment of
a duty of K, cent per pound on the
lead contained therein.

soldiers of tho Union knocking at tho
doors of the Capitol for aid, to tako tho

Tucker, of Virginia, offered and advo
cated an amendment abolishing tho tax
on tobacco.
Kerr, of Iowa, favored tho repeal of
the tobacco tax. Under tho system of
monopoly in tho production of whisky
and tobacco tho tax on these articles hail
been moro demoralizing to tho people
than any other tax imposed.
McKinloy said the committee had not
abolished tho tax on tobacco liecauso tho
country needed money t and it was not
necessary to abolish it in order to pre-
scrvo tno protective system.
Tuckers' amendment was rejected by
G2 to 118.
Hcndersons's amendment was also re
jected, 30 to 118.
Henderson offered another amendment
restoring tho present ratd of duty on
wool and woolens, and pending tho vote

adjourned.

Ciiicaoo, May 19. Six thousand peo
ple to-night witnessed a rattling live
round match with four ounce gloves 1k
tween Peter Jackson, tho colored Aus
tralian champion, who is to fight John
L. Sullivan, nnd Ed. Smith, champion
of Colorado. Much interest was taken
in the question of Smith's ability as
against Jackson, owing to the fact that
tho Colorado man has been trained by
Sullivan's noted helper, Muldoon, the
wiestler, and to the further fact that
Smith recently knocked out Mike Clerey
in one round. Smith made a decidedly
good showing against the big colored
man, standing up live rounds without
suffering a knock out. Smith appeared
timid in the first round, and was lloored
three times, but in the second round ral
lied and, though at a disadvantage from
Jncksons long reach, landed repeadly on
the latter's jaw and wind. Both men
were groggy when the combat ended.
Muldoon offers to back Smith for $5000
to a finish against any man in the
world, barring Sullivnn, McAuliffe and
Jackson.

IT IS A DEATH BLOW.
The Mormons Strike the
Supreme Court
And Are Knocked Out by
One Blow.
Chief Justice Fuller nnd tlio Demo
cratic Justices Dissent from the
Opinion Common Law.
AVamiinoton, May 19. The Unit
ed States Supreme Court to
day rendered an opinion of
vital interest to tho Mormon
church, in a suit of the Church of Lat
ter Day Saints against the United States,
which came here on appeal from a de
cission of tho Supreme Court of Utah in
favor of tlio United States.
In its opinion tho Court says:
'The distinguishing feature of Mor
monisin is well known to be
polygamy and absolute ccclcaiastia
control of its church members. Not
withstanding all efforts to supprcbi this
barbarous practice, tho church persists
in defiance of law, in practicing nnd
promoting this nefarious doctrine. The
question therefore is whother tho pro
motion of such nu unlawful system, so
repugnant to our Inws is to be allowed
to continue, and whether enormous
funds which have been accumulated,
shall be wielded for the propogation of
the obnoxious doctrines and for the
promotion of organized rebellion against
the laws of the United States.
"Thehistorvof thegovernment's deal
ing with the Mormons is one of patience
on the part of the government and of re
sidence to law and pitilebs atrocities on
the part of the Mormons. The conten
tion that polygamy is part of the Mor
mon's religious belief, is a sophistical
plea. There is no doubt that
the thugs managed their sys
tem of assassination as a religious
belief, but that did not make it so.
Society haa a perfect right to prohibit
offences against enlightened public
sentiment." After an elaborate his
torical review of common law, the court
says: "Congress had licfore it a con
tumacious organization, wielding by its
resources an immense power in the Ter
ritory of Utah and employing those re
sources in constantly attempting to op
pose, subvert and thwait the legislation
of Congress and the will of the Govern
ment of the United States. Under such
circumstances we have no doubt of the
right of Congress to do as it did. The
decree of the lower court is affirmed."
Justice Bradley delivered theoninon.
Chief Justice Puller said that himself
and Justices Field and Lamar were con
strained to dissent. Congress unques
tionably has power tosuppress iwlygainy
and it is immaterial whether the crime
was committed in the name of religion
or not, but Congress has not the power
to seize and confiscate the property of
corporations because they may have
lteen guilty of crime.

dered the opinion of the Court in the
case of J. G. McCall, plaintiff, as agent
of tlio Eric Railway nt San Francisco,
urrested and convicted under the law

contended thnt the law was unconstitu

tention, and reversed the judgement of
the lower, court, remanding the case
with directions to enter a new
decree in conformity with the opinion.

Iiir a I'rliale to Deseit Murdered l'or
Demanding.! ustlcc.
Sergeant Logan, of Troop "C," Tenth
Cavalry, United States Army, seems to
hnvo boon a delectable tort of an indi
vidual to occupy so uniKirtant a posi
tion. Further details of the murder of Pri
vate Will Fleming at San Carlos make
the cai-u look darker and darker for the
colored Sergeant, and seem to draw the
halter tighter and yet tighter about his
neck.
A gentleman who wns at San Carlos
at the time of the killing of Fleming,
nnd who is familiar with the facts of the
case, related them in detail to a reporter
for Thk Rki-uhucan yesterday.
From this story it would appear that
the death of Fleming grew out of Lo
gan's, fear of a threatened court mar
tial. There had leen a quarrel between
the two, previously, and it is stnted that
about July 20, 1889, Logan told Fleming
that he had better desert or he would
regret it. At that time the Sergeant
stated, that if Fleming did go, ho
(Logan) would give him the advantage
of five day's start by not reporting him
absent.
"You can be in hell by that time,"
Logan said, when making the offer, con
cluding his remark with a string of
abusive epithets.
Fleming reported the affair, sub
stantially as above related to his troop
commander, Captain J. M. Kelly, and
tho Captain informed Fleming that his
wrongs would be redressed. He would
see to the matter jersonnlly. Kelly it
is alleged, forgot all about the matter.
or at any rate neglected to give it any
attention.
Fleming then made a written state
ment to the commanding officer and, as
this did not meet with a response as
promptly as ho thought that it should,
ho carried the matter still higher by
making a written statement to the
Department Commander.
Tho latter officer then wrote for advice
to the Post Commander nt San Carlos,
where the alleged breach of military dis
cipline was said to have occurred, and,
after receiving further advices the Gen
eral commanding the department order
ed the Post Commander to investigate
the charges fully nnd to take proper ac
tion at once.
The Post Commander then went into
the matter more fully, and as a result of
tliis investigation required Logan to beg
pardon for the abusive language used to
Fleming, in accordance with the 25th
article of war.
Fleming claimed that the 51st article
of war had been violated by Logan
in his efforts to induco the private to
desert, and Fleming further asserted
that he would make nn application to
regimental headquarters for a regiment
al court martial. He said that he want
ed this court martial convened in order
that he could get justice which, ho
claimed, he could secure in no other way.
lie made out the application or,
rather, had it done for him on the very
day before he was murdered. He in
tended to mnil it the next day, so an
nouncing his intention, and that night
lie was killed.
Logan, it is alleged, resorted to nil
sorts of means to buy Fleming off, but
the latter could not be brought to depist
from his course. Then Logan gave an
other soldier of the Troop $20.00 with
which to purchase Fleming's silence, at
the same time promising his agent
$10.00 for himself in case the negotia
tions were successful.
This trooper, however, refused to do
the work for Logan, nnd the murder of
Fleming followed.
The deed was committed on the night
of August 20, and the arrest of men now
accused of the crime followed.

Dr. Osborne 'Fired of Life's
A Pistol Ball Ends His Ca
reer on Earth.
Suicide on West Washington Street
Late Last iIit A Wife's
Awful Discovery.
A little before 10 o'clock last night
Dr. Oslxjrnc blew out his brains.
Prehaps there were few men in the
city of I'hwnix better known than Dr.
T. N. Osborne. He came here more
than fifteen years ago, and has been in
the continous practice of ids profession
hero ever since, having a wide circle of
friends and being held in the highest
repute both amongst the laity and by
men of his own profession for his skill
as a practitioner. He was a native of
New York state and was about 35 years
old.
For several years past Dr. Osborn
has been a nervous sufferer, nnd to allay
his pains had resorted to stimulants,
finally taking morphia in so largo a
quantity that of late his close friendf
hnd begun to fear that he was becom
ing slightly unhinged mentally.
His casual acquaintances, however,
noticed nothing out of the way, and ho
has been about the streets and in his
usual places of resort latterly as was his
usual custom.
Yesterday, however, ho remained in
the house during the greater portion of
the day, and toward evening laid down
upon a bed in an inner room dressed
only in his shirt, troiiFers and stockings.
He must have gone to sleep there, for
he did not get up to supper.
Shortly before 10 o'clock he arose
from the bed, and came to the door of
the front led room, where his wife was i
lying down, and nsked her if there was
any supper.
Mrs. Osborne replied that there was,
and that he would find it upon tho
table in the dining room.
A few moments afterwards she heard
a shot. Although she had not seen her
husband go out of the house, becom
ing alarmed, Mrs. Osborne went into
the dining room, and not finding her
husband there, quickly ascertained that
he was not in the house.
Hearing what sounded like a groan,
Mrs. Oslwrne liecame thoroughly
alarmed and, passing out of the front
door of the adobe residence, which
stands on Washington street at the ex
treme western limit of the city, she was
horrified at the ghastly discovery of her
husband's body lying weltering m blood
in the dust of "the street.
With a cry of horror, Mrs. Osborne
ran to the house of a neighbor for help
and very shortly afterwards the news of
the suicide was brought up town, and
Sheriff Gray, Deputy Sheriff Davenport,
Marshal Davenport "nnd a Rni-UBLICAN
reporter were on the way to the scene of
the tragedy.
The bodj of the suicide still lay in the
dust, nnd there was alxnit the head a
great pool of blood and brains that hnd
run out and half sunk in tho dust. Tho
face was covered with blood, also, that
hail run down from a wound in the left
cheek, and close by lay a forty-four
calibre Colt's revolver, with one cham
ber discharged.
The bullet had gone in on the left side,
just under the eye, nnd ranging back;
ward had passed through the brain al'
most in a direct line coining out behind
the right car.
Death must have been almost instan
taneous. As the news spread, a crowd was
quickly collected, and Marshal Blanken
ship then came up to town and, secur
ing Justice Richards, returned with him
to the scene for the purpose of holding
an inquest.
Dr. Osborne leaves a wife and three
small children, two girls and a boy, and
Ids aged mother is also a resident of
Phoenix. Several weeks ago he re
quested permission of the city authori
ties to carry a pistol but, as he could
give no very intelligible reason why
such action oh his part was necessary,
the permit was refused him.
The doctor was a nicinlicr of the A. O.
U. W. r.nd his widow will recieve $2000
from that Order, lie will 1ms buried by
the Order to-day. Inquest this morning.
