Condensed Record of the Important
Transactions of Onr National Law
makers—The Work Done In Both
Washington, May 15.—Senator Daris
lo-day gave not it": of an amendment to
the tariff bill providing for retaliatory
duties upon silks, velvets, plushes and
lace aud all manufactures of these arti
cles, and also upon dice, draughts, chess
met billiard goods, dolls, toys, breudy
ind ether spirits manufactured from
grain, champagne and still wines against
poultries imposing discriminating or pro
hibitory duties upon grain or its product
)r ether agricultural productions exported
from the United States. The senate to
day adopted several compromise uiuciu',
uients to the drug ftchcdulc of the tnri»!
bill, but rejected amendments offered by
Republicans. Senator Walsh introduced
a bill making it a crime punishable by
impriscniuent from one to twenty years
to retard or obstruct the passage of any
train carrying the United States mail.
Senator Squire presented petitions from
several G. A. R. posts of Washington
Stute praying for the recognition of l.iu
I'olu's birthday as a national holiday.
Several unimportant bills were passed
in the house. The only important bill
passed was one giving the Washington,
Alexandria & Mount Vernon Electric
Kailway company an entrance into Wash
ington. Tile resignation of Representa
tive Barnes Coiuptiin of Maryland was
laid before the house.
The Republican senators held a cau
cus last night, but no vote was taken
us to the course to pursue in regard to
the tariff bill. A great- mauy speeches
were mude and many plans proposed,
but no decision was Tfriched. It is prob
able that tlie Republicans will continue
to act as the.v have for several days ami
only vote for amendments which they
consider in the line of protection.
Washington, May 10.—Speaker Crisp
was not in the chair when the house met
today, as lie had lieen called away by
the death of Mrs. Crisp's mother. In a
letter he designated Mr. Dockery of Mis
souri ns speaker pro tern. Among the
bt!is presented was one from the com
mittee on labor reported by Mr. Mc
Ganu, making labor day a holiday. It
was placed on the calendar. The naval
appropriation bill was passed aud the ag
ricultural bill taken up. Mr. Hopkins
accused Mr. Hatch of "juggling" salaries
in the department of agriculture, when
Mr. Hatch angrily retorted that he would
not allow any such imputation on his
action, and he assured Sir. Hopkins that
if he had made any such remark outside
the house lie would have had the words
rammed down his throat. It was some
time before tile angry storm cloud rolled
away from the horizon.
In the senate Mr. Aidrich's amendment
placing a duty of 15 per cent
911
coal tar
preparations not provided for in the hill
was defeated. Mr. Quay asked that -.1
per cent specific be substituted for LI)
per cent op oxide of cobalt. Mr. Jones
accepted the substitute,
The amendment restoring the. rate

berries, balsams, buds, bnlhs, bulbous
roots, fruit, flowers, dried fillers, dried
insects, grains, gums aud gum resin,
herbs, leaves, lichens, musses, nuts,
roots and steins, spices, vegetables, seeds

sul­
phuric ctlies from 35c to 40c, nitrous,
other, from 20c to 25c, and fruit ethers
of oil or essences from ijil to §2 were
agreed to. Mr. Allison offered a number
of amendments, but all were defeated.
Washington, Slay 17.—Tlie Democratic
leaders in the senate decided yesterday
to call up Senator Harris' resolution for
1*) o'clock sessions to-day. They h-iv
if relied the conclusion that the tariff lii!!
is not making satisfactory progress, and
tl'ilik that tlie time lias ome when ihc.v
should extend the hours. Tin? resolution
is likely to lead to a spirited debute
when called up. ltepublic.111 senators
held a second conference yesterday upon
the policy to be pursued regarding '.lia
Uniff bill. Xo conch'si'iii was readied,
but the majority showed a desire to let
the bill come to a vote us soon as op
portunity had been given for reasonable
debate.
In the senate the Jon :s amendment
fixing the rate of duty 011 flaxseed oil at
20 cents was agreed to. The rate
eral election bill, tbeliUritoTttpeal the
Sherman law and other big legislative
contests in the senate. The Republicans,
under the leadership of Mr. Manderson,
vainly protesting that they did not seek
to delay action on the tariff bill. They
used the usual filibustering methods,
breaking a quorum by refusing to vote,
although certain their Western colleagues
would decline to join in the filibuster.
Sir. Harris moved to compel the attend
ance of the absentees. After some very
sharp and plain talk on both sides the
Republicans succeeded in forcing an ad
journment, although the battle was in
reality a drawn one. A compromise had
leeu practicrlly agreed upon before ad
journment by which the sessions of the
su cte are to begin at 10 o'clock after
•Monday. Senntors on both sides .•e
gird this as the real beginning of the
siege of night sesrions nnd roll-calls, a
test of physical endurance on one side
nnd of resistance cu the other which all
have understood from the beginning
would he resorted to before the end of
the tariff debate should be reached. The
Republie'ans generally assert that they
will resist unusual hoirs or extraordinary
preecedings, and the Democrats say that
it lias become evident from long speeches
nrde to-day and on other days recently
that unless hours are extended the dis
posal of the bill will be indefinitely de
layed.
011
olive oil, red need ill tha original senate
bill to 25 per cent, was restored to i!5
lits per gallon. The house rate 011 pep
pun-int oil—25 per .'lit—was also re
stored. In the next paragraph, opium
extracts for medicinal uses the house
late was 25 per cent. The senate iiineiid
n-ent made it 20 per cent. The senate
reduction was agreed to. The next—
Je lies' amendment—was to place crude
opium, not adidtcrated, containing per
cent or over of morphia, dutiable at $1
per pound in tlie house bill, 011 the free
list. Mr. Sheriiirn then moved to in
ciease the duly on .smoking opium from
$0 to .$10 a pound. Lost—20 to 31.
After transacting business of minor
Importance, the house went into com
mittee of tlie whole on the agricultural
appropriation bill. Mr. Marsh of Illinois
severely denounced the practice of the
agricultural department of collecting and
publishing statistics of crops, upon which
speculators were enabled to manipulate
the grain und cotton markets, liis
amendment to strike out the paragraph
providing for the puldication of monthly
crop reports was defeated—70 to 28. Sir.
Sl&rsli made tlie point of no quorum and
tellers were appointed. A quorum was
filially secured and the amendment was
lost—45 to l.'J7. Sir. Pickler (Hep., •. I).)
endeavored to secure an appropriation of
$30,000 for another edition of tlie special
report on diseases of the horse, but it was
ruled out on a point of order. Sir. Pick
ler offered an amendment increasing tlie
appropriation for tlie purchase, propaga
tion and distribution of seed from .$i !0,
000 to $100,000. Agreed to. An nme'iid
ment was agreed to providing that ufter
May 1
the secretary of agriculture should
distribute ail the seeds on hand, giving
preference to those persons whose names
and addresses have been furnihed by
senators and representatives in congress
and who have not before during the
same season been supplied by the de
partment.
Washington, Slay 18.—The resolution
Intieduced by Senutor Lodge to investi
gate the charges of attempted bribery of
Senators Kyle and Iiuntoii, also th» al
lege ions that the sugar tiust had made
contributions to campaign funds, was dis
cussed ill the senatb to-dry, and passed
with amendments that broadens its'scope.
Senators Cockrell, Hear, (..'handler,
Faulkner and Vilas offered amendments
whi"li made the resolution a veritable
drag-net. including all charges of bribery,
tdl allegations of contributions by the
sugar trust, directly or indirectly, to cam
paign counnitt"es. or sed ill elections by
eilliei party, or that any senator had ih
any way beeni improperly influenced in

St. I'aul, Slay 18.—If there is a man in
the region of the Twin Cities who is glad
to be alive at the present time, that mnn
is Thoimis H. Uolrick, who runs a sa
loon nt Kecgan's lake-. Golrick disrocated
his neck one day early in the week, nnd
yesterday lie succeeded in getting the
kink taken out of it nnd his head aud
ueek restored to their pn|icr position.
Just what experience Uolrick passed
through wl-ile he was getting liis neck
put out of joint he did not say, but to
the physician who performed the opera
tion ye'sterdny he made some statement
about a fall. When he enteral the ofiice
of the physician. Dr. Rogers, liis head
was twisted to nearly onc-tpmrter roind,
i'lid in addition to this it was tilted for
ward, giving him tho appearance of a
wry r.eck. Dislocation, without paralysis
aeicmpanying it, or tome other compli
cation, is very rare indeed, ns dislocation
is very apt to produce pressure on the
i-pinal cord, but Golrick did not seem to
mind liis iujury very much further than
that he saiil that it made "his neck tired
to he always looking over the left." He
did not seem to realize tho serious char
acter of Ids case, lu the operation per
formed on him he -was put under the in
fluence of an anesthetic, and by gradual
pressure his neck twisted hack into it*
right position.

THB OTTER TAIII COONTT SUSPECT
It LANDED IN JAIL.
He la Captared After One of tho
Iioignt and Most Exciting Man
Haats In the Blstorr of Minnesota,
and la Now Behind the Bars.
Fergus Falls, Minn., May 18.—After
one of the longest and most exciting man
hunts in the history of Minnesota, Peter
Battleson, the rape fiend, has been landed
in jail. It will bo remembered that on
May 5 a stranger called at tlie home of
Joseph Ward, on the eust side of this
county, and wanted to buy bis farm.
After a short conversation Mr. Ward
started for town and Battleson went in
the opposite direction. As soon as Ward
was out of sight Battleson returned to
the house, and, catcliiug Mrs. Ward,
choked her until she submitted to him
to save her life. Ho then proceeded on
his way, leaving Mrs. Ward iu a terrible
condition. Fearing that he might return
again she hid in the woods until night,
when her husband returned. The resi
dents around the ward home are largely
lumbermen, and when Ward reached
home and found what had been done he
organized one of the most determined
posses of men that ever pursued an out
law. For a whole, wee-k fifty armed
men with Winchesters hunted him
through the woods^of this county. They
would frequently get track of him, but
he managed to elude them. When Sheriff
Billings heard of the- crime and the de
scription of the man he decided at oncc
that the tnau was Battleson, who had
assaulted Sirs. Anderson nt Underwood
A j-car ago. Chris Martinson came to
town to-day and notified Sheriff Billings
that a mnn answering the description was
vi iking for a neigh tor. Tlie sheriff mid
seme deputies at once drove, to the pi ice
and captured him. Battleson virtually
admitted his guilt, r.nd said that he was
Mail that he had been captured by the
sheriff. He has traveled nearly every
night for two weeks and slept in the
woods in th day. In case lie does not
plead guilty the case is strong against
him. After assaulting Mrs. Wurd he
picked up her husband's pipe and said he
would take it, to remind her husband of
it. This was found on him. Siue'C as
saulting Mrs. Ward he tried to assault
Sliss Shaw, a Bchool teacher iu Rush
Lake, nnd two days later tried to rape
Sirs. Bullock. She had a long struggle
with him and broke his revolver. When
Battleson was lnndcd ill jail he asked the
sheriff to close the shutters as he was
afraid he would be lynched. A number
of deputies aro kept iu the jail. The
gruml "jury is now in session aud before
a week Battleson will begin on a twenty
years* term at Stillwater. He lias ill
ready served a term at the reformatory,
ltiittleson is an old resident of the county.

ing nn Agreement.
Cleveland, Ohio, Slay 18.—The confer

us resumed to-day. After a lengthy dis
cission President McBrjde, of tile niin

tators to retire from the luill, In order
that the miners might bold a coi)ferencc.
Til is was done and conference lasting
an hour was held. At its conclusion
President McBride offered a resoluUou re
citing that, whereas a large number of
operators had refused to attend the con
ference, had refused tho hand of concilia
tion nnd peace that had been extended
to them, the miners believed that any set
tlement arrived at in the absence of
those operators would only ndd to and
accentuate the miserable condition of tlie
miners, and that is was ..-impossible to
make any settlement with the opcrutors
who hail met them here. While appre
ciating the efforts of the operators who
liad attended the conference to reach a
settlement, the miners asked the co
operation of the operators present in
bringing pewceablc and persuasive press
ure to Ismr upon the absent operators to
induce them to agree to terms with the
miners. These resolutions were offered
to the conference ns expressing the views
of the miners, and as there seemed to
be nothing more to dp the conference ad

INDIAN SCHOOLS.
The A. P. A. Does Not Wast Money
Given Sectarian Bodies.
Washington, May 18. At its reccnt
meeting at Des Moines the A. P. A. cvi
dertly took some action on the question
of aipropriatloiis for schools for Indians
nder Catholic or other sectarian control.
Hver since the date of that that conven
tion there have been here in Washington
a persistent hbby of men high in tlie
councils of the A. P. A. seeking to have
tho appropriations for schools of tli'.s
character stricken from the Indian ap
pepriution bill. Slaj. Pickler, who is a
neither of the Indian committee, said
to-day:
"I have been approached on this sub
ject by a personal friejd whom I know to
be a member of thia order, lie formerly
Ihcd in Iowa, nnd has just returned
from this Des Moines convention, when
I first henrd of the matter, I do.i't know
with what authority the work is being
done, but I do know that many member:.!
havo been npprouc-hed as I have been.
So far as the merits of the question go I
am not in favor of cutting off these ai
piopriations all at once. I believe if we
are to abandon the system we ought to
do it gradually."
From other sources it was learned that
a systematic canvass of. the house is be
ing made, and members in some-cases
nre having notice served on them that if
they do not vote to strike out the appro
priation they will be marked for slaughter
at the polls. Duiing the eu-.rent year the
amount set apart for various religious
bodies for Indiau education was .$512,
4JI5, of which the Catholics get £178,
345. The SIcthodists, Presbyterians,
Episcpals and Congregntionalists have
taken official action to give up govern
ment aid, so that the sectarian aspect of
the ease is leduced almost to anti-Catli»
lie bnsis, which just suits the A. P. A.
