REPRESENTATIVE KIEFER Sees No Reason Why the Dingley Bill Cannot Bo Passed the Ooming Session, Says His State Has Some Excellent Cabinet Timber and Mentions Several mes. Representative Kiefer of Minnesota has arrived and with his daughter has taken quarters for the winter at 201 A street, Capitol Hill. Col. Kiefer was not a candidate for the renomination from the St. Paul district, but he made a very vigorous campaign in support of the republican ticket in Minne- sota, and in hghalf of the congressional nominees in every district. Asked for his views as to the probable action of Con- gress on the tariff and financial questions during the forthcoming session Col. Kiefer said: Tariff Legisintion. “From what I have learned since my re- turn, it looks to me as if there would be a very strong effort made toward uniting the same forces that were allied during the recent campaign, for the purpose cf enacting legislation for the relief of the treasury. I allude to the sound money democrats and republicans. If this union is consummated I see no reason why the Dingley bill with some needed amerdments should not pass during the coming session, thereby avoiding the necessity of an extra session of Congress. I am very sure that the business interests of the country would prefer a rest. If Congress cannot pass a bill during the next three months, I do not see that much can be expected from an extra session which will bring in a lot of new men who will be anxious to air their financial views in long-winded speeches. “We should bear in mind that there will be populist Senators from Kansas, South Dakota and Washington elected to take their seats March 4. They will probably be new men, who will join in with the other rank silver men to delay and hamper the rew administration in every way_pos- sible. Then there will be Bland and Jerry Simpson and Champ Clark in the {ouse, all primed for any sert of filibustering. Hence, if there is an extra session It will probably be a long stege before a revision of the tariff can be entered on the statute bocks.” Some Cabinet Timber. “What about Minnesota in the McKinley cabinet?” was asked. “Our people,” replied Colonel Kiefer, feel as though the north star state was entitled to recognition. If there ever was a time when the preliminary campaign for McKinley prior to the St. Louis conven- tion needed aid it was about the date when the state convention was held. After Min- nesota declared for McKinley his candi- Gacy gathered such impetus that every- thing was swept before it. We have ad- mirable cabinet timber, and Senator Davis as Secretary of State or Attorney General, or ex-Governor Merriam as the head of the Treasury or Interior Department, would be an excellent selection. Then there is ex-Senator Washburn, who is mentioned for the agricultural bureau, and Senator Knute Nelson for the same position. If he should be named the present legislature of Minnesota could choose his successor. Colonel Kiefer is greatly interested in the Lake Superior-Mississippi canal project, and will go to New York soou to consult with Erastus Wimans on the subject. Witl a water route from the head of the lakes to St. Paul and Minneapolis the transporta- tion question of the northwest would be solved. Colonel Kiefer says that one of the results of the recent slection will be the building of the canal. o- A STRANGE MEETING. The Sons of Two Remarkable Men Meet Unexpectedly. From the Pendleton East Oregontan. The other day at McMinnville, at the mecting of the Bimetallic League, Samuel Brown, son of John Brown, of “soul goes marching on” fame, met William Booth, son of the sheriff who hanged John Brown. As 1s the custom of all conventions in Ori gon, everydelegate does his best to get ac- quainted with every other delegate, and all delegates speak whether acquainted or not. Several delegates were going about intro- ducing a rather handsome man of forty or thereabouts, whom they called Mr. Booth of McMinnville. They would say of him: “Mr. Booth is the son of the sheriff who hanged John Brown of Ossawatomie at Harper's Ferry. All of which caused people to take more than a common interest in Mr. Booth. Finally Mr. Booth was introduced to a man of excellent appearance, whose name was Samuei Brown. After the introduction, Mr. Booth and Mr. Brown chatted very pleas- antly for a minute or two. “Mr. Booth.” said Mr. Brown, “was it your father wha hanged John Brown at Harper's Ferry?” ¥ said Mr. Booth. “He was sheriff at that time, and it was his duty to officiate at the execution. No relative of yours, I hope?” “Only my father,” was the quiet reply. eee — RAISED THEM. HE He Might Not Put on Many Frills, but He Could Give a Gorggous Order. From the Spokane Review. A few nights ago a miner from the north who had lately sold a claim, had money to burn and was in an incendiary mood, came dowr. to Spokane to make the currency bon- fire. He was rather rusty looking when he struck Spokane, but he was hungry, and, before going to a barber shop or bath, drop- ped into an uptown restaurant to get some- thing to eat. There was but one waiter and he, busy carrying champagne to a party at another table, paid littie attention to the hard-looking miner. Finally the waiter was called over, when the miner said: “See here, kid! Do I eat?” “Sorry I can’t wait on you now,” was the prompt reply, “but the gentlemen there have just ordered a $50 dinner.” “Fifty-dollar dinner be hanged! Bring me 3100 worth of ham and eggs, and be quick about it! Do I look like a guy who can be bluffed by a mess of popinjays?” waited upon promptly. ——_+e+_____ AHEAD OF THE GAME. He was Considering That He Had Been in the Police Station, He Got Of Well. From the Loutsville Commercial. The old man is a great favorite on News- paper Row; his only failing is that he has asthma, which he has to drown out occa- sionally. Last week he started out to drown his hay fever on pay day. When he left the office he counted among his possessions $25, his week’s salary. Just what happened to him is a mystcry, because he never gained consciousness until he woke up in the sta- tion house the next morning. He searched his pockets—they were empty. Eight o’clock came, and the station keeper came to let him out. There was no charge against him; he had only been locked up to sleep it off. Stationkeeper Collins called out Bob's name, and shen be- gan to hand out things that had been taken away from him when he was locked up, of which Bob had no knowledge. First, his watch, then $37.50, half as much again as Bob had when he started out; then a new suit of clothes, an umbrella, a box of paper collars and a basket of grapes. Bob ts still wondering where they came from. But he entertains the highest opin- ion of the police department and the board of public safety. eee ge Hints for Business Men. From Hantware.

So, Mr. Carlisle said, he must contend that the court would have to overrule Mr. Berry’s motion to take the case from the jury, even. if Mr. Berry was. right on some of his points of law. More Arguments. In his response Mr. Berry again claimed that Mr. Yturbide’s inalienable right to an- ‘impartial hearing had been violated. The had been fairly and impartially heard he could have exonerated himself completely. ‘The president of the club had admitted upon the stand that Mr. Yturbide had not been allowed to make all the statements that he wished. Mr. Yturbide had dented the specific charge of conduct unbecoming a gentle- man. He admitted that he had made cer- tain statements with reserence to a lady, but he claimed that it was only under such vircumstances as justified his action. He had insisted that he could explain the cir- cumstances with honor and credit to him- self. The opportunity to state when and under what circumstances he had made the statements had been denied him. In conclusion, Mr. Berry said that this ease was an important one, for it involved not only Mr. Yturbide’s membership in the vne club, but the additional question as to whether Mr. Yturbide was to be barred from every club in this country and in Europe, as well as in his own native land, Mexico. Mr. Carlisle replied briefly to Mr. Berry’s centention that the only question of fact at issue was whether or not the relator had been given a proper hearing. Judge's Remarks, In overruling the motion to take the case frem the jury Judge Bradley said: “The only questions at issue are whether on the 25th of April last, when the relator was present before the board of governors, was he fairly and fully apprised of the charge made against him, and of the speci- fication, and did he then and there admit that charge, for it is not for this court to decide whether the governors were right in saying that the conduct charged was suci Ss ite disqualify the relator from member- “Nor is it for this court to say whether the relator ought to have been permitted to talk about the matter or have been given unlimited opportunity to speak. “The charge was simply tnat he had made certain accusations against a lady, and, the question whether he could have proved the accusations or whether he did right in making them, did not enter into the matter. It is out of the province of this court to Sevamnetner tie board of governors acted e pplying the extreme pe the offense charged.” ete Prayer Allowed, Mr. Berry then submitted his grayers to the jury, all of which were ruled out by the court. Mr. Carlisle submitted but one; it was allowed. In brief. it was to the effect that if the jury was satistied that Mr. ¥turbide had admitted that in the club and to a member of the club he had charged a lady with writing anonymous letters, then the board of governors were the exclusive judges as to whether such admisston con- stituted conduct umbecoming a gentleman, and the finding of the jury must be for the defendant, the Metropolitan Club. At this point in the proceedings a recess was taken until 12:50 o'clock. Mr. Berry's Addre After recess Mr. Berry at once began his address to the jury. He sald that his ad- dress would naturally be brief, as h mouth had been closed on aimost every point claimed by the relator. In commenc- ing he said that he was present to ask teparation for the unjust treatment which hed been done his client. ‘In other words,” said Mr. Berry, “I am kere to appeal from a jury of autocrats to & jury of the people.” in the course of his address Mr. Berry made some remark as to the limitations that were placed upon him by the rulings of the court. Judge Bradley interrupted him, saying: i “Mr. Berry, the question at issue is a very simple one. As ¥ have pointed out before, it is simply whether the relator did ov.did fot admit the truth of the Specifi® cation in the charge against him. If you admit that the relator in the presence of the members of the board of governots ad- mitted that he had accused’ a lady, the daughter of a member of the club, of ‘writ- ing anonymous letters, then I shall tak the case from the jury and direct that a verdict be returned for the respondent, the Metropiitan Club. It cested solely with the governors of the club to say whether such conduct on the part of the relator consti- tuted conduct unbecoming a gentleman. It is outside the province of this arswer the question.” Sere Mr. Berry again insisted that his ; e 3 ns cl had denied the truth of the charge that he had been guilty of such conduct. Mr. Berry talked for less than fifteen minutes. The Judge's Charge. Mr. Carlisle stated that he would rest his side of the case without argument, and at 1:10 o'clock Judge Bradley began his charge to the jury. ‘The judge adverted briefly to Mr. Ytur- Lide’s connection with the Metropolitan Club, saying that when the prince joined the club he made himself liable to all the brovisions contained in its constitution and Must be bound by them. The only ques- ticn for the jury to slecide was whether at 4 meeting of the board, the relator being present and the specitication of the charge being made known to him, he did or did not admit that he had made such accusa- tions against the lacy in question. It was not Incumbent upon the board to inyuire into the reasons Mr. Yturbide had tor mak- ing the accusations, and it was not within the province of the jury to say whether, on ethical grounds, the decision of the board was a proper one. e jury had only to deal with a question of fact. If they found that the relator made such admissions as the board of governors said he did then they must find for the elub. If they agreed that he did not make such admissions then they should find for the relator, Mr. Yiurbide. Given to the Jury. At 1:25 o'clock the case was given to the jury, and they retired to their room up- stairs. At 1:55 o'clock the jury returned and an- rounced their verdict. “Have you egreed upon yeur verdict, gentlemen of the jury?” asked the clerk. “We have,” replied the foreman. “Do you find for the relator, Mr. Ytur- bide, or for the respondent, the Metropoli- tan Club?” For the respondent, Club.” Judge Davis, the president of the club, and the other members of the club who were present heard the verdict with vi- dent satisfaction. Mr. Yturbide and his counsel were not present when the verdict was rendered. A motion for a new trial will prokably be made. Se Wants It Canceled. Mrs. Pauline Ballin of Pearl River, Rock- land county, N. Y., today filed a bill in equity against Louis Amateis, Dora Ama- teis, his wife, and Albert V. Ballin, the latter also of Pearl River, N. Y., praying that a deed in trust, executed by her No- vember 5, 1895, be canceled and held for natght, aud that the defendant, Louis Amateis, be required to surrender and pay over to her certain moneys said to have been obtained by him, or the evidences thercof. Mrs. Ballin says she is a native of Ger- many, her knowledge of English being ex- tremely limited. She alleges that Novem- ber 5, 1895, she was induced by Mr. and Mrs. Amateis, her son-in-law and daugh- ter, to execute the said deed in trust, trarsferring in trust all her property to Mr. Amateis, which conveyance, she de- cleres, left her without control over her property. She says that he has converted into cash a certain $1,000 note which she owned. Mrs. Ballin is represented by “Attorneys . R. Berry aud Lewis & Minor. ——.—__. Doctors’ Controversies.

He, when asked in regard to securities he once possessed, gave the numbers readily. Chief Badenoch, wanting io be more sure, how- ever, sent Schooleraft’s picture to his old home in Richmond, Va. Letters were re- ceived {immediately from prominent busi- ness men of Richmond saying the picture was undoubtedly that of Schoolcraft. This dismissed all doubts as to the man’s iden- tity and right of ownership. These letters also explained why School- craft, with 360,000 at his command, keeps up the-drudgery of addressing envelopes to carn his daily livelihood. He himself de- clines to tell the story of his life, but in answer to persistent questioning only says: “No man on earth has suffered more than I. Had I thought my past would be dug up in connection with these miserable old papers, I would never have made c'aim to them. May my secret be buried with my body.” Ten years ago John Lawrence Schoolcraft was a vigorous, handsome young man of twenty-nine years. He was an enterpris- ing young business man and was a member of the firm of Campbell & Schoolcraft of Richmond, Va. The firm was a popular one and made money fast. Schoolcraft had extensive business ventures outside of his regular business, and ail’ of them netted him big gains. Mrs. Schoolcraft was a beautiful woman and was one of the most attractive and fascinating leaders of Rich- mond society. Schoolcraft idolized his wife, and his whole life seemed to be given up to her pleasure and happiness. One day he awoke to the realization that a young lawyer named Stein, who had been one of his most confident and trusted friends, had robbed him of his wife’s affections. The affair had gone too far to admit of any reconciliation, and with a broken ieart he left her. He made no complaint, reither did he utter a word of censure, but hastily converted all his property and business in- terests into cash and portable securities and left his once happy home to become a wanderer the rest of his life. Schoolcraft’s main purpose was to squan- der all his money and scatter it in a way that his wife could never get it. He rushed into big speculations and often, instead of losing, realized handsome profits. ‘Taxes on his real estate were purposely left un- paid and the property was sold and reso! until it was clouded by mortgages too far to admit of any redemption. He went into big mining schemes and all kinds of wild speculations, and in almost eve-y instance would win. Finally he was ‘heard from in Albuquerque, N.

A Sixteen-Year-Old Youth Crushed in a Scrimmage. William L. Rue, sixteen years old, was killed in a foot ball game on the parade ground in Prospect Park, Brooklyn, yester- day afternoon. The game was between the junior team of the Manual Training School and the Eu- rekas, composed of pupils of public schools in South Brooklyn. Rue was a freshman in the Boys’ High School. He took a great interest in athletic sports and at times played half back on the junior team. Rue was playing with the Eurekas. The ball was fumbled and Rue made a dash for it. He was tackled and thrown. As he vas going down with the ball under him he shouted “Down!” to the other members of his team, and a moment later all the other players were in a heap on top of him. Several spectators dragged the players from Rue. Rue was unconscious. The park policemen were looking after a bigger game on the “big field” some dis- tance away, and it took fully :en r-inutes to notify one of them of the occurrence. A telephone call was then sent to the Seney Hospital. Rue remained unconscious all this time and was€Yfast becoming blue in the tace. Dr, Otis, who came with the ambulance, set out with the youth for the hospital, but Rue died before the institution was reached. Rue was an only son. His parents were waiting dinner for the lad when the news of his death reached them. ———_+e+_____ Mr. Spofford’s Accounts.
