Many filibustering tactics were resorted to and a vigorous ef fort was made to defeat the bill But the corporation element was clearly in the minority and the anv cient, gauzy schemes resorted to in former years by lobby legislators were worn threadbare to-day. In the beginning of the debate, Senator Brewster speech in favor of the Avery bill. He said he was here in a legislative capacity and he kuew his people wanted the bill Senator Busche spoke in favor of a general bill, and offered an awend- ment such as bas helped to defeat | fellow-servant legislation in the past. | Senator Major made a particularly strong speech in favor of the Avery bill. Then came Senator Klene with a somewhat radical speech in oppcsi- tion to the Avery bill. He proposed as amendment somewhat similar to the Busche amendment, both doubt- less having the same purpose in view. Senator Landrum made probably | the most rabid lobby talk of all, by declaring that he would under no circumstances vote for the Avery bill, and he was not even enthusiatic over the passage of a general bill. He declared that there is absolutely made a strong} | be amusing The Republican Programme New York World.

The plan seems to be to make the house bill about half way between the McKinley and the Wilson laws, and leave it to the senate to take further care of the special interests and the eampaign contributors. Speaker Reeel’s shrewdness Chairman Dingley’s conscientious- ness will unite in leaving the more odious features of the bill for sena- torial manipulation. The bill, at its best or worse, will and Ben Partlow and his neighbor, Wilham Price, have not been on | friepdly terms for years, and Mon | day afternoon they met in the read laud renewed the old quarrel, one of them declared that be the other before a week went by, and the enraged men separated, each determined that at their next weeting old scores would be wiped | Cut Yesterday mornisg, Partlow, ac companied by his two brothers, met William Price and two of bis sons in the roadway. All were heavily armed and without wasting any time in preliminaries the sextet com menced shooting, aud continued | firing as long as one of the aumber was enabled to retain bis feet At tbe first volley William Price was shot and killed. Still the battle raged. and shoulder and one eye was shot out. He lingered in a semi uncon- scious state till this morning when death came to his relief. Thetwo Partlow brothers were fuirly riddled with bullets, but it is thought that the elder has a chance for recovery, while the Price boys were voth badly but not seriously wounied Owing to the fact that the point no demand for fellow-servant legis- lation. Senator Miller did good work throughout the spirited fight by holding the Avery bill forces togeth er and keeping a lookout for smooth parliamentary tricks. A strenuous effort was made by Senators Busche,Mott and Davidson to force adjournment, but the plan failed. After voting down theamendments a vote on the final passage of the bill was taken, resulting in the en actment of the law by a vote of 20 to 7. The following Senators voted against the bill: Klene, Landurm, Martin, Mott, O'Bannon, Wells and Schweickhardt. Those absent were: Ballard, Gray, Lyons, Marshall, Morton, Powers and Peers All the others voted for the bill, including Senator Busche, who had only a few minutes before been leader in the fight against it. The announcement that a genuine fellow servant bill had actually pass ed the Senate caused prolonged applause. The Hanna Humbug in Trouble. New York World. The news from Ohio indicates that a head end collision is imminent between the Hanna humbug and the Foraker-Kurtz Bushnell machine. Both are on the same track andcom- ing at full speed from opposite di- rections toward the same point— the Ohio senatorship now teld by John Sherman. Out in Ohio they seem to look upon Hanna as a ridiculous sort of person, a political incubus and/ heavy dead weight, and they think the best place for him is at home! with his private business of organ izing iron and steel “combines” and freight monopolies. The Foraker crowd is saying open- ly that Hanna came very near elect | ing Bryan, that the reason Ohio! gave McKinley only 47,000 majority | instead of the 150,000 that was ex- pected was because Hanna's record as monopolist and oppressor of working-men and a suppressor of competition.

The Me- Kicley law, raising the duties in nearly every schedule. was entitled “An act to reduce revenue” 1t di reduce revenue nearly $90,000,000 within four years. The new bill, again increasing duties, will osten- sibly be to increase revenue. This can only be done by sustaining or in- creasiog importations, the very thing which McKinleyiem decries. Beyond passing the high tariff bill nothing will be done at the ex- tra session, according to Mr. Ding- ley. Upon this programme Mr. McKinley could never have carried the country. Hanna and the Senatorship. Washington, D. U., Feb. 3.—The information from Ohio is very pos- itive that unless something is done Hanna will not be appointed senator to succeed Sherman when the latter goes into the cabinet. Gov. Bush- ueli is said to be determined to ap point Lieut. Gov. Asa W. Jones to the vacancy. This is supposed to be in accordance with senator-elect Foraker’s wishes. Senator Sherman is thoroughly aroused by the news Until yesterday he was confident that Havna would be appointed He had written to Gov Bushnel! strongly urging this action. He did not see how the governor could refuse to recognize the services of the chairman of the republican na- tional committee Since he learned of the plan to make Jones the sena- tor, Mr. Sherman has taken hold of the Ohio situation in earnest. He has shown his old time masterful vigor in politics. Foraker's friends in the Ohio congressional delegation have been seen. The senator kas talked to them very plainly. One of these representatives has gone to Ohio, carrying messages from Sher- man warning Foraker and Bushnell | of serious consequences if they per- | sist in refusing the appointment of Mr. Hanna.

GAGE IS A DAISY. That is the Opmion of William Jen- nings Bryan, Galveston, Tex, Feb. 2—TIn re- gard to the statement sent out last night by the Associated Press, giv- ing an interview with Lyman J. Gage, Mr. Bryan said: “Mr. Gage is a daisy. Greenbacks should he saye, be retired and silver purchased under the Sherman act should be sold and treasury notes redeemed avd canceled. Then we ought to have bank notes that are redeemable only in gold. An he also says that the government should not act as a warehouse for either gold or silver. There is no doubt about Mr Gage being a daisy. I wonder if he would not like to inaugurate a sya tem by which we would have to ob tain his permission each morting to live throughout the day.” Fiye Children Drowned, Nebraska City, Neb, Feb. 3.— Five children belonging to George and Phoenix Gibson and J. Mell vane, ranging from 8 to 15 years of age. broke through the ice while skating on a pond near the river on the Iowa side directly across from this city, this afternoon, and were drowned As they failed to reach their homes at the custom hour, search was iastituted and their bodies were found together,all having gone down in the same break in the 1ce.

The ground was plowed deep on May 10, thoroughly harrowed and! marked with a corn planter at the time the balance of the field was planted, but the dropper was shut off in passing over this strip. Drills three and a half feet apart were then opened up on the strip and May 12 the seed was dropped by hand,using ope peck of corn to plant an acre, and it was covered with the feet, the ground being afterwards har- rowed. The corn was cultiyated three times, hoed and weeded twice, and the corn thinned so that the stalk stood singly not less than 8, and not over 12 inches apart in any place. Only this strip was planted with the silver mine corn, the bal- ance of the field which surrounds it being planted toa fellow variety.— Ex thoroughly THE BIBLE A DEFENSE FOP MURDER. Farmer Becomes Insane Over Religion ata Revival and Kills His Family of Four Persons. Wayce, Neb., Jan. 29.—An excited crowd has been around the jail to- day threatening Clarence Rash, the wealthy farmer, who was arrested at his home yesterday, surrounded by the bodies of his wife and three children, all terribly hacked and battered. He said when arrested that the Bible was his defense and would prove that he but did his duty. Rash had been attending revival meetings for the last week and had grown enthusiastic over religion. Wednesday night, after the sermon. he advanced to the rostrum and jstood beside the minister. Before leaving he picked up a soapstone, saying it belonged to him. This was the instrument used in beating the life out of his victims. Rash recognized Sheriff Reynolds and made no resistance. He wert to the Bible and, Opening it, asked Reynolds to read it, stating tbat it was his defense.
