Tragedies Caused by the Flirtations of am English Country Girl. Loxpox, April 12—A frightful tragedy has disturbed the normal quiet of southwestern Wiltebire. A country girl named Lizzie Adams was courted bys young man named Lovis Hamilton. Liezie was generally acknowledged | to be the prettiest girl around the village of Milksham, and she had balf a dozen suitors, among whom Hamilton was the favorite It was supposed that Lizzie and ‘Louis were engaged to be married, and Louis was never happy away from Lizzie’s company. ‘They got slong lovingly for «time, until an other youth named Heary Richards appearedon the scene. Henry had the udvantage of Louis in being able to spend more movey, and he gateally mado be wor into the aifections of tty country gir! zie grew coo! toward Lows and at length told him that she did not eare for bis comp any longer. This declaration seems to have maddened Louis, who lost ali his old cheerfulness and became morose and desperate. He did not have much to say to or about Richards, but appeared to be brooding over something. As, however, Ham- iiton had always been s young man of good character, no one suspected that he renlly meditated terrible vengeance. On last Wednes- day Hamilton unexpectedly met Richards and Lizzie Adams walking in the village strer Richards smiled in a sneering way as the dis- ded lover passed. “Hamilton cold nothing, but it eppears, ac- cording to the story now told by Lizzie. be gave Richards a look of teartul meaning and one that made Lizzie shiver as she noticed it.

On Sunday last Hamilton appears have followed Kichard@ when the latter took a waik in the direction of a sequestered country Jane, where Hamilton evidently suspected that his ‘successful rival was coing te meet Lizzie Adams. The suspicion proved to be correct. Lizzie and Richards met and kissed, and Richards gave her two or three embraces Lizzie has forgotten tie exact number— Hamil- ton looking on through a hedge meanwhile.

SENATORS’ ELECTIO Mr. Ohandler Speaks Against the ~ Proposed Innovation, SILVER PURCHASES AND COINAGE. Mr. Stewart on His Resolution Of- fered Yesterday. MATTERS IN THE HOUSE. Mr. Cooper’s Personal Explana- tion Interrupted. THE SENATE After the routine morning business the rago- lution offered yesterday by Mr.Stewart in rela- tion to the purchase of silver and the coinage of standard silver dollars baving been taken up and amended (on motion of Mr. Sherman) by inserting the words “and « detailed stare- mentof the amount purchased each day” M Stewart proceeded to address the Souste on the subject. He was not sure, he said, that he fully unde: stood the last mouthly statement of the Treas- ury Department asto the financial condition of the treasury. Having cited the figures as set forth in the April statement show- ing the aggregate amount er, silver that business. elsewhere ) that he (Mr. Cooper) had ever rezeived any- thing in this connection, Whatever Mr. Her- yy did to those things he (Mr. sg tt | knew it was proper, and what Hersey d tat he did not ‘knowjought not to be charged to him. CALLED DOWN BY THE CHAIR. After soine little discussion Mr. Cooper was Permitted to continue, but only after a request from the chair that he should confine himself to the question of personal privilege; bnt he had not proceeded fer when he entered upon a criticism of Commis- sioner Raum, when he was promptly called to order by Mr. Hopkins of Illinois, and the Speaker that the gentleman from Indiana Was not addressing himeelf to the question of privilege and again requested him to proceed in order. But after two or three sentences Mr. Cooper made an allusion to the “spies and creatures” of Commissioner Raum, and he was again called to order by Mr. Burrows of Michigan. “The Speaker said thkt the question was a difficult one to determine. _ He couid only ap- peal to the gentleman from Indiana to proceed in order Mr. Johnson (Ind.) was the next objector to the language used by his colleazue. That colleague, be said, was not simply try- ing to make a personal explanation, but he was aburing the privileges accorded him ase member of the House in making an at- tack upon the commissioner. If the gentle- man wished to attack that officer let him bring iu « resolution or appear before the investigat- ing committee. Mr. Cooper proceeded with his statement, but he proceeded over a corduroy road. “At ene! a step he encountered —_opposi- tion and the = Speaker —_ evidently thought that this opposition | was not raised without reason, for he finally suid that the gentleman's remacks were more lurgely addressed to ling Commissioner Kaum than to answering any charge made certificates, treasury notes, dtc.. in circulation as $1,021,207,000) he remarked that the entire amount of gold in the treasury (in excess of the outstanding gold certificates) was less th an eighth of the silver and paper for which « redemption demand might be made on it. GoLD I THE TREASURY. Mr. Morgan inquired what was the amount of gola in the treasury. Mr. Stewart gave the amount as #15,815,000. and said that if the gold startdard was to be maintained the silver act of 1840 would have to and the Secretary of the Treas to be authorized to sell bonds in order to accumulate gold enough to redeem the silver coin and paper money now out- standing. But no public man, he said, would dare to make such a monstrous proposition. If, how- ever, silver was to be muintained as money the silver in the silver dollar would have to be made equally valuable as the gold in the gold dollar, and tbat — could only be done through the coinage of silver on the same terms and conditions as applied to the coinage of gold. He spoke of the unfavorable . disposition of the President and the administration to- ward silver and mentioned, as a mutter of | common report, that sellers of silver to the government were given time to deliver the silver—to fill their orders after they bad oc- cupied the market and kept others out—thus depressing prices. Whether this was true or not would be shown, he said, when the Secre- tary of the Treasury sent his answer to the pending resolution. In conclusion he declared that the people of the United States would uot stop agitation on the subject until silver was restored to the place which it occupied previous to the unfor- tunate legislation of 1875. The resolution went over till tomorrow, Mr. Morgan expressing his intention to speak upon it for a brief period. TO ELECT SENATORS BY THE PEOPLE. The joint resolution heretofore introduced by Mr. Palmer, proposing a constitutional amendment for the election of United States Senators by the people, was taken up, and Mr. Chandier addressed the Senate in opposition to it. The time might | come, he said, when be wonldt be convinced that such a proposition might be submitted, but he wasn't convinced of it av the presen! | time. He would, therefore, siate some of his objections to it. ‘The first objection was that the change ould be sure to result in the adoptiomof a That might not be so great an objection to himsclf as to Senators on the other side of the chamber—those Senators who had hitherto opposed the adoption of a federal election law. He regarded the extension of the system of popular elections to | the choice of Ushited States Senators as sure to result in the taking possession of the election machinery by federal officiais appointed by the national government. WHAT IT WOULD LEAD 70. The proposed amendment of the Constitu- tion would not stop with committing to popu- lar election the choice of United Stater Sena- tora. Indeed, it was almost absolutely certain that if adopted it would be followed by pro- visions for the choice of President and Vice President by the people. He regarded that re- suit as inevitable. ‘The two movements (for w the popular election of Senators und of President and Vico President) were going on pari paven, If Sena- tors were to be elected by the people then the Senate would be brought face to face with the proposition that the President and Fico President shall be elected by the peop for if anything had beeo absolet in connection with the existing Constitution it ras the theory of the founders of the govern ment that the President and Vice President should be chosen by electors chosen in the several states’ Whenever the | President and Vice President were chosen by the people it would be entirely possible for one state (New York, for instance) to swell its vote enormously by fraudulent methods or by other methods not absolutely fraudulent 80 as to overcome the votes of other states. ‘A FEDERAL ELECTION LAW. Mr. Mitchell asked Mr. Chandler to. state what would be the objection toa tederal elec- tion law. Mr. Chandler ssid he would come to that. His second objection to the proposed constitutional amendment was that it was the beginning of an innovation. It would be the first fundamental change of the federal Con- stitution concerning the national frame of government. It might seem a little singular to hear that statement—that this would be the j the Senare, ina plain, manly way requested a aguinst himself. ——_~+0- THE SENATE EXECUTIVE CLERK. Mis Office is Declared Vacant Without Al- lowing Any Investigation. After three anda half hours spent in execu- tive session behind closed doors and after a stormy debate the Senate yesterdy yielded to the powerful pressure brought to bear by the com- mittee on foreign relations and vacated the office of executive clerk, filled for so many years by Mr. Jas. R. Young. When the doors were closed a definite propo- sition was taken up. It wus to order an inves- tigation of the conduct of Mr. Young, who had been excluded from the executive sessions ever since the Bering sea treaty was laid before the Senate. This was defeated after # spirited contest, in which Mr. Manderson freely com- mented in terms of bitter sarcasm upon the course of Senators who were willing to cast an imputation upon an honorable employe with- out affording him an opportunity to vindicate meron pre: 1 which the 88 to surren ted a letter from Mr. itter, while signitying his ler his office at the will of Young, willing thorough investigation, stating that if he had betrayed executive secrets, as had been alleced, he was able to punishment under the law, and that he was perfectly willing to abide by the result, There was some difficulty in getting a quo- rum, but finally this was secured and the mo- tion looking to an investigation was detcuted by a nkrrow majority .No «mull, indeed, was the majority that the members ot the foreigu rela- tions committee became alarmed and under the leadersitp of Mr. Sherman, aided by Mr. Hale, they redoubled their efforts to secure the fruite of their victory through the adoption of the resolution declaring the oitice of executive clerk vacant. It was stated to the Senators who betrayed reluctance to join in the mov ment to convict the clerk without investiga- tion that the committee on foreign relations had absolutely satisfied itself of the justice of the proposition. It was snid that if the Senate desired to maintain the secrecy of executive essions the number of employes in whom confidence was reposed must be decreased ve- Jow the present number and t Leen maintained since the excluiei. Finally, howeve committee made the matter ‘a personal issue aud im- plied that the Senate mast choose between its members and Mr. Young, intimating that they would refuse to participate in execu- tive business if the clerk were not dismissed. Under this kind of statement, despite the of- forts of Mr. Manderson and other advocates of a fair investigation, the junior Senators who mpathized with the clerk gradually weakened, and.fearful of incurring the ill wili of the pow- ertul committee on foreign relations, votes re- luctantly for the resolution vacating the office, which was carried by about ten majority. secrecy hud | yes had been A LETTER FROM MB. YOUNG. The following is the letter written by Ex- ecutive Clerk James R. Young of the Senate to Senator Cameron, in response to an official sug- ion of the Senate conveyed through the MR. COUPER. <TALEMENT. je Tells the House Special Committee of His Relations With Hersey. DENIES TRAT HE IS RESPONSIBE FOR MERGEY'S ACTIONS AND MAKES AN ATTACK OF COMMIB- SIONER RAUM'S ADMINISTRATION OF THR PEI SION BUREAU. Representative Cooper of Indiana today made a statement before the House pension office investigating committee m denial of and in explanation of the charges made against him by Commissioner Raum. Mr. Cooper said he would neither excuse nor Justify Hersey’s conduct, but from the facts it would be seen that he (Cooper) bad infinitely more cause to compiain than any one else, and that he had not the slightest responsi- bility therefore. He had first met Hersey asa clerk in the pension office, Subsequently Hersey told him be bad lost his place and bad opened an office here as pension attorney, that his business at first would be light and he wished to supplement it by assist- ing members of Congress with their work in the pension ottice. EMPLOYED HERSEY aT $20 a MONTE. Witness needing assistance employed Hersey at $20 ver month, after learning that he was considered competent and reliable, and gave him the necessary authority to use his name on congressional call slips. Daring most of the time Hersey worked for him attorneys coud examine their case Out-of-town attorneys, however, bad no method of learning the | status of their cases except by calling to their & member of Congress or corresponding with the Bureau. Thousands of complaint had been received tbat the letters o} claimants and attorneys were wholly ignored by the pension office and he sub- mitted letters complaining thas the whole system was being worked for the benetit of fashington attorneys. Recently he wnder- stood the order had been modified so ea to pre- vent attorneys and claimants from looking at their oases. HE HAS XO BXCUSE TO MAKE. He had no excuse to make for any one who abused the confidence of a Congressman to supply for pay the demand for informa- tion about cases, but the poliey pur. sued by Commixsioner um to bank wi li this business in the hands of Washington attorneys, among whom are his son and the indorsers of his notes, he submitted, is much more of'a erme and n more harmtul de- bauchery of the public service, Whatever Mr. Hersey had done in the way of selling pension information had been done without his (Mr. Cooper's) knowledge or con- sent, as had already been testified. The com- mii rknew ax early as September last that Hersey was abusing witness confidence, and in January the commissioner had asked Witness it Hervey was authorized to sign wit- ness’ name, a thing he already knew, and yet, instead of telling witness of his suspicion he had done everything in his power to have Hersey bribed, and in the hope that he might entrap witness bud spread a net over two or three states and cailed bis spies aud informers into requisition. WHEN AE LEARNED HERSEY WAS BEING PAID. The first information witnoss had that Mr. Hersey was receiving pay for work done over his siguature was when he received the letter from Morgan inclosing $25, which witness re- turned in @ letter, teliing Morgan that Hersey could uot take pay for work done as @ part of witness’ congressional duties. Mr. Cooper said Morgan was from his district, and while he was « republican and bad always fought him politically witness hud mo reason to am, suspect of pertidy; had ey- tertained him when he came to Wash- ington; had introduced Morgan, by request, to’ Herwey, and also to Commissioner Kaum, and had endeavored to serve him in every way he properiy could, as he (Mr. Cooper) ‘made no political distinctions in’ iooking atter his constifents’ interests. It was untrue that had told = Morgan that Hersey would work for bim for pay, and witnsss desred to make the declaration that he had never, directly or indirectly, asked or accepted 4 cent for any service growing out of bis con- nection with public affaire, THAT CORKEMPONDENCE. Mr. Raum had introduced a great deal ofcor- respondence between Hersey and Mr. Peet, and charged that Peet was related to witness. Mr. Cooper said Peet was a brother-in-law of — bis brother and an employe of Maring & Slusher, pension attor- neys, Mr. Peet had told him that he intended to gointo business in Kansas and wanted u partner. At Peet's request witness recom- mended Peet to Hersey. He believed an honor- able partnership was contemplated and never afterward thought or heard of the matter, oper then referred to the charge that uuthorized Maring & Slusher to. print his signature on thousands of imitation con- gressional call slips, which had been thrown in 5 Fennsyivanian that Mr. Young resign Wasutnatox, March 27, 1892. Hon. J. D. Cameron: Dear Sir—I have carefully considered the | suggestion you mace in our conversation this | morning to the effect that I should resign the | position I have held for fifteen yearn as | principai exceutive clerk of the Senate. Under ordinary circumstances I should accept | it with promptitud:. It is, however. aso- | ciated with an impzession which I underst: nd to exist in the minds of some Senators that Tam cognizant of the invasion of the rights and dignity of the Senate involved in recent publications of debate in executive ses | sion. 1 am deeply concerned in this. ‘The | secrecy of the Senate rests upon the members asan obligation incumbent upon gentlemen.

Mr. Cooper said Maring had been mentioned for the republican nomination in his (Cooper's) district, and when witness became a member of Congress in 1889 Mr. Maring, who had ‘an extensive pension business, came to hita ud said he desired to use witness ame in calling up cases of “the boys.” Wit- ness knew nothing of pension laws at the time, nd, on Mr, Maring’s representations that it was usual thing and the exhibition of » call signed by Senator Turpie, gave Maring con- | sent, but with the understanding that the priv- ilege was to be used only for soldiers in wit- ness’ district. SKINNING THE PILES. Witness afterward learned that Maering was calling up claims all over the country and then wrote to Commissioner Tanner and told him that while he had authorized the use of his name, he had expressly limited that privilege to soldiers of his district. Com- missioner Naum, for pur; which would be perfectly plain, bad either destroyed or in fome manner suppressed the whole of thie correspondence. If that letter and witness’ other correspondence with Commissioner Tan- ncr were produced Raum’s criticism would be answered in advance. Under this adminis- tration of that bureau a practice of ab- stracting documents from the files had become #0 common that it had acquired aname and was called “skinning the files.” The prac- tice was to go through the papers and take out anything that might reflect upon the commis- sioner oF benetit any one who opposed him.

Wacraca, Wis., April 12.—Another sensation was sprung in the Mead murder investigation yesterday afternoon, in the abap8 of a plot to murder Deputy Sheriff Williams, who hus been most mstrumental in securing valuable evi- | deuce luoking to the discovery of the perpe- trators of the crime. ‘Ihe scheme was to way- i t night as he was returniny knocking himon the bead club, cut his throat. s Minnesota Towns Flooded.

Witness asked him for the letter-press copy book used by- Commissioner Tanner, that he might see the copies of Mr. ‘Tanners answers. Mr. Raum said, “Commissioner Tan- ner took a lot of that ‘stuff’ away with him, and he presumed that he had it.” WHAT MR, TANNER SAID. Mr. Cooper then reada letter he had ad- dressed Mr. Tanner on the 9th instant and Mr. ‘Tanner's response of the 11th, saying the cor- respondence wasofficial and he (Mr. Tanner) had left it in the pension office. Mr. Tanner said he remembered Mr. Cooper's having written that he had au- thorized his name to be used solely for casew in his district. Mr. Tanner, said Com- mission Raut:, had evidently confounded Mr. Cooper with Senator Voorhees, for he (Mr. Tanner) remembered having heard that ing & Slusher bad, while Gen. Black was stiil commissioner, presented some 5,000 call slips with Senator Voorhees’ signature attached. ‘The recklessness of Gen. Raum, Mr. said, was shown in his submitting an affidavit ‘of David I.

Charges of Perjury May Be Made—A Race for the Lightfoot Letter. The grand jury adjourned this afternoon until Mowday next, So far the district attor- ney has not presented to it any of the cases Growing ont of the Schneider ease which it is stated will be presented. Next week, it was said today, tho district attorney proposes laying before the grand jury the cases of several witnesses who in testifying for the defense, as the District attgrney will con- tend, committed perjury. The names of the witnesses whose cases will be submitted are, of course, withheld for obvious reasons. THE LIQUTFOOT LETTER. It was learned today that the famous Light- foot letter, the letter written by Schneider to Mise htfoot, was not secured by trict attorney until the after- Tas offered in evidence. It was not until the third day after the government had begun the examination of its witnesses that the district attorney learned of the existence of the letter. It then came to his knowledge that Judge Wilson was using every endeavor $0 secure the possession of a certain letter written by Schneider to Miss Lightfoot, and the district attorney concluded that if Judge Wilson was making it efforts to gain pos. session of the letter it was a letter which the government one not well ——< ork — reat race then took for the letter, an aithough the defense odiorca great inducements for it, the government proved a little too fast for Judge Wiison and finally obtained possession of the most damaging piece of evidence offered 7 ai WHEN IT WAS RECEIVED. The district attorney received the letter during the noon recess of the day it was offered in evidence, and not until he then read it did be know its character, and not until the letter was produced in court did Judge Wilson know that he had lost it. And it is doubtful whether bis client had before that time acquainted him with the true character of the statements it contained. ee DISTRICT IN CONGRESS, THE DISTRICT APPROPRIATION BILL The District appropriation bill now rests peacefully in the House appropriation commit- tee room, it having reached that haven of rest yesterday. The appropriation committee has £0 many affairs on its hands just now that the subcommittee on the District of Columbia will not be able to tackie the Senate amendments until early next week. SENATOR KENNA’S OPPOSITION. When the House resolution forbidding the District Commissioners to issue permite for building in alleys reached the Senate today it was objected to by Senator Kenna, and it has, therefore, gone to the District committee. Toa Sran reporter Senator Kenna said thisafternoon that he would oppose both the resolution and the bill looking to the probibition of build- ing in alleys levs than forty feet im width be- cause the sought-for legislation amounted practically to # confiscation of a large quanti of valuable property. The Senator said interest was personal as well as general, owning ground which would be affected by a new law. THE COURT OF APPEALS BILL. Senator Hoar, from the committee om the judiciary, bas reported favorably the bill estab- lishing ® court of appeals for the District. The committee has amended the bill by pro- viding that there shall be one chief justice and two associate justices, instead of three. The salaries of the justices, instead of being $7,000, reduced to $6,000; the chief justice 18 to be ‘id $6,500 per annum. The clerk of the court is to draw a salary of £3,000, instead of 83.500, as in the bill when introduced. ‘The allowance for clerical assistance has been cut from $2,500 to $2,000. When the bili went to the commit- tee it provided that justices of the Supreme Court of the District should hereafter receive $6,000 dollars each: the chief justice $6,500. The committeo has reduced the salaries to $5,000 and $5,500 respectivel; CAPITOL TOPICS, SECTARIANISM. The resolutions introduced in the Senate and House proposing an amendment to the Consti- tution (suggested by the National League for the Protection of American Institutions) so as to prevent any state from paesing any law pro- hibiting the free exercise of religion or to raise money for the purpose of founding a religious institution or society was today advocated by a delegation from that league before the House judiciary committee. Dr. James M. King, general secretary of the league, explained the purposes of that soclety, which, he said, was to protect the integrity of ‘the Ame: achool system and to effect and separation of church and state. ‘I he said, in favor of the amendm urged its adoption, not so much on grounds of existing evils, but to prevent evils in the future. Judge W. Alien Butler of New York city also ad- vocated the resolution, as his reason the existing necessity of prohibiting the uppropria- tions of money raived by taxation for sectarian or ecclesiastical purposes. STATEMENT OF FERS. In the Senate today a resolution was offered by Mr. Sanders and agreed to calling upon the Court of Claims for information as to fees charged by the chief clerk, assistant clérk, clerks, bailiff or mensengers of the court for services, under what authority such fecs are charged and what disposition is made of them. A BANK AT THE EXPOSITION. In the Senate today Mr. Cullom introduced bill to authorize the National Bank of Illi- nois to establish a branch office on the grounds of the Columbian exposition,and it was referred to the committee on finance. ‘TRE REVENUE MARINE AND THE NAVY. A report was yesterday submitted to the Senate on the revenue marine bill by Senator Butler. It reviews the various vicissitudes through which the measure has passed since it was first introduced two sessions ago and —— recommends its passage on economical grounds as well as for the ge naval and the revenue m: report states that the estimated reduction in expenses that would result from the consolida- tion would be about $90,000. It also states that the committee is the more willing to recommend the transfer from @ consideration Of the overloaded condition of the Treasury as compared wit tof the Navy ‘partment, The committee furtler believes that by the transfer the real efficiency of the Treasury in the performance of its legitimate work will not be injured, but will be largely increased. So far as action by the two naval affairs com- mittee of Congress is concerned the chances of the revenue marine transfer bill look decidedly encouraging to those who favor the measure. The House committee this morning bad the bill under discussion and adopted all of the suggesstions made by the Secretary of the Navy and at its next meeting will y te- the bill favorably to the House. Fa- Yorable action has already been taken by the Sonate naval affuirs committee. ARREARS OF PENSION.
