EDMU: DS RESOLUTIONS PASS The Long Partisan Debate Ends With the Close of Yesterday's Session. KEEN BIT OF SATIRE INGALLS' The Vote on the Resolutions Deviate Slightly From Strict Party Lines—Congressional Proceedings. Senate. WASHINGTON, March 3, —Among the bills introduced was one by Mr, Hoar, providing for inquests by federal authority, Mr. Hoar gald the bill was suggested by the reports of recent occurrences at Carrollton, Miss. The senate liad no information in regard to these occurrences, but the newspapers of both political parties seemed to agree about the According to these reports, wanton and un- provoked crinies had been committed, sulting in the death of a large number of citizens, in which all the victims were of one race, and he presumed of one political party, and all the murderers of another. Such oc currences, unfortunately, had been ot fre- quent occurrence, but” Whefl investigated were apt (o take a political turn. Persons defending or apologizing for them said they had no political “significance. Tt still re- . mained that it was the opponents of the democratic party that were killed and that the adherents of that party were the murder- ers. This bill was to provide a method of in- uiry, which would be removed from politics. £ ywhs purerrad o the tdieiary comm|ite “T'he Edmunds resolutions were then placed before the senate and Mr. Ingalls took the floor, Mr. Ingallsdenied that the senate had asked for the president’s reasons for sus- gplnn any one or that’ private papers had sen asked for.

A Nebraskan's Wife and Daughter 08t On the Streets of Chicago. 110 GO, March 25.—[Special Telegram.]— “The very strange disappearance of Mrs. Louis Bruns and her 17-year-old-daughter in this ity about the middle of January has eyer then perplexed their friends and ac- quaintanees and still continues to distress them. Mrs, Bruns was the wife of a_retired merchant and farmer in Niobrara, Neb., who is the most prominent citizen of that region. The young lady, Miss Nina Bruns, had been on a protracted visit to Germany, when some six months ago the mother went to Europe to bring her home. It appears that they arrived in this city January 15, and being unable to pursue their journey further, on ac- countof the storms and blockade of trains they coneluded to remain a few days with their friends here. On the morning of their ar- rival Mrs. Bruns stopped at the cigar store of H. Goettsehie, corner of Market and Madison streets, with whose wife she was intimately rquainted. She had no baggage with her. save a small hand satehel. After explaining how shehad been delayed on her journey, she inquired the way to the Blakely Printing company, 155 Dearborn street, She was told, and left the s ying that she wanted to see a triend, who wasa German, and a printer there, and would call again at the cigar storo in the afternoon. Neither the mother nor the daughter has since been scen in this city, nor have they put in an appearance at their brara home. ‘The German friend referred to is Mr. Pow- ell Hamann, of 307 Sedgwick street. ilo says lie understood the woman ealled on him, but for some cause or another he did not get to seo her, He kniows nothing regarding their whereabouts, Mr. Kenworthy, the foreman of tho printing company, says he remembers awoman of the deseription of Mrs. Bruns calling at the office, but that was all. The husband and father of the missing wife and daughter supposed the latter were stopping with friends In this city or with his brother at Des Moines, Towa, and was not alarmed, and on this account some time elapsed before an investigation was begun, Mr. Goettsche has received let- ters from the brother in Des Moines, and also from Mr. Bruns, asking him to have the city police investigate the case. Mr. Bruns is expected here ina few da ke up the search in person. No trace of the missing women can be found after their departure from the printing oflice, and nothing can be heard from wlat baggage they had with hem. It is not even certain that the daughter was with the mother St e Miners Who Want an Advance.

The past weok has been almost abso® lutely barren of social events. The Lenten pall has overshadowed eversthing, and there is hardly a rift through the clouds. One of the pleasant events of the week was the domino party given by the Met ropolitan elub at their hall, Fourteenth and Dodge streets, Wednesday night. The affair was one of the festivities at- nt upon the feast of the Purim, the Jewish festival which is being celebrated at this season in accordance with ancient tradition. The elite of the Hebrow society were present,and many elegant and costly costumes were displayed. The dancing programme was composed of the latest and best dances, and was earried out to | the delight and ction of all. Su per was served in the dining rooms the club, and was not the least pleasur- able feature of the occasion. On Thursday evening the Union S club gave a pleasant party at Motropo tan hall On both the Mary Anderson nights the audience was made up lar of the entative people of Omahi societ; Many elegant toilets were noticeabl Numerous delegations from_all parts of the state came in to attend.

Tne play, however, is one which grows upon the audience and to some bears a lasting impression. Raymond has to a certain extent submerged himself in the pl perhaps, the most important chy but unlike the other plays produced by stars it is not the only character about which interest centers. In the Magistrate there are five strong characters. They all have certain wol 10 do which they are required to perform in an artistic manner. The play has cer- tain situations where poor acting would be ruinous. In Raymond’'s company. however, there is no danger of this re sult. Raymond, of course is excellent in everything he does. He neither surpasses himself mnor falls be- low his usual standard in his latest production. The Magistrate bas | had a well metiteq success wherever it has been producad.

To the Editor: Permit me to make a few comments on the letter of *S," under the above heading. The first part of his letter 1s as_true as Holy Writ, but when he relates how cruel the employer is in telling the employe, “If ho don’t like it he can quit,”’ of the “unsupplied wants,"’ and ‘‘education hampered” for want of proper clothing to cnable them to attend school--compelling children to turn out to work at an carly age in order to main- tam themselves—he has, and knows he has, struck the key note for the cause ot unionism, He s “In union there is strength;” and that something has been accomplished, and much more remains to be done. That is true; and how foolish would he be to destroy the structure be- fore he hassomething better to substitute. He says: “‘Conceding that capital is sping and selfish, is not a trades union nearly as bad?"” Ah, there is the rub. While unionism may be considered selfish, it is only selfish in the sense of using the same means as is d by capital, But I deny that it is used in a selfish way by one memgber against another. Every man of sense would be glad to sce unonism pass away as soor it ceases to bea means to the end for which it aims: He says that while lubor unions are a_means to the end, and therefote valuable, they will not be the instrument to pventually better the condition of the fnasées. Having served purpose they will pass awny to mak y for other forves. To that I and every W nrkuly\m:m wanld ¢lap his hands and shout “Amen.” If S is too conscicn- cious to fight with the same ijmple- ments that capital uses, and unionism not the thing to bring about the long de- sired result, workingmen would be under lasting obligations to him if he would take the matter in. hand and furnish a substitute and do it over his own name, s0 that we may consult together, and try it p to bring in the millenium of the workingmens’ condition, Joux A.

CnicAGo, March 26,—[Special Telegram, |- Wikar—The wheat market opencd weak and lower this morning on strike news, bug cables, though conflicting, were generally firmer. New York was very strong on ro- ported inquiry, and our matket quickly ro- sponded. Private advices from Liverpool to London told of an advance of 1d in the for mer and 6d in the Iatter market. May wheat advanced from S0ige to 811(@s1%, point the upward movement was checked by Cudahy, who began plugging the market furiously, sending prices back je. There was large buying, both on the advance and on the decline, and as soon as the pressure was lifted prices once more pushed up, though not brashly. Kor May S0%dSlie seemed to be established quotations. Large numbers of orders for foreign houses were on the floor, but this element, while scem= ingly very anxious to buy, did not seem disposed to come quite up to the market, orders being generally limited and @S¢ under ruling rates. The close at 10'clock was at the best figures of the long session. ‘The strike hangs about the market like a mill stone. Pending adjustment of the labor ditferences everything commercial and fiscal must remain in an unsettled state. The effect is felt with as great force n wheat as in stock Conrn—Corn for May delivery ranges from M8le to 38%¢, the ruling price most of the day being @38%¢e. The close at 1 p. m, was 88%@S3e. The large stocks of corn alone prevent a rise, as receipts show a falling off and exports an increase. But with 14,000,000 bushels in warehouses, and as much more in crib along the railroads, the bnlls do not feel justified in booming things withany degree of vig Cash business is lively. OArs—Oats were fairly active, ana the market holds firm at slightly improved prices, ProvisioNs—Provisions were again dull. The opening was weak at slightly reduced Iues on account of a lowering in the price of live hogs at the stoc rds, and the mar ket was rather depressed all morning, Flucs tuations in quotations were within a very _narrow range and the aggregate business transacted was light. ArTERNOON Boarn—The afternoon mar- kets were steady. May wheat ranged a shade higher, mainly on favorable tips given out by exporters here and at the seaboard. The tone of the market seems healthier- Corn and provisions were without chango of any consequence.

Power, Sawyer, Clark, Kent, and Osborn all bought for foreign account, Eleven loads were reported taken for export, It was also reported that 400,000 bushels of wheat had been taken for export yesterday and to-day, but cannot vouch for it.
