Placed on the house calendar A number of committee reports were pre- sented, and the bill to establish a sub-treasury at Louisville, Ky., was called up. Messrs, Siorrison of 1llinois and Dingley of Maine opposed it, and, after further discussion, the consideration of the bill was postponed until May 1 "l house then went into committee of the whole, Welthorn of "Texas in the chair, on the river and harbor bill. The paragraph accepting from the state of Ohio the Mu Kimgum river iuprovement, gave rise to much opposition, and Mr. Regan of Texas moved to strike it from the bill, Mr. Hewitt of New York supported the motion. Mr. Hendorson of motion to strike ont. sburn of Towa thought the appro. tions in the pending bill would have lit- dle effect in bringing distress or relief to the country. One or the causes for distress the fact that the people were afraid of those whowere now in authority. There had been so much of promise and so little of performance on the part of the demoeratic party that the people looked to the future with distrust, To enumerate a few of its pledges, peop! lad been told, especially by his colleague (Weaver), that heretofore the government liad been Tun in_the interest of the men of wealth and great corporations, but that now ple were to be conserye their in- As a proof of this the gentleman had ¢ attention to the fact = that the president sympathized with settlers on the frontie who w standing aronnd the territory of Oklahoma that monopolies were in there under the rulé of the republican party, and that now they were to be turned out and settlers were to 1Ko in.

The interstate commerce bill was then aken up. The pending question was on Mr. Camden’s proposed amendment to strike out the words “from the sawe point of de- parture” from the Jong and short haul clause of the bill. Mr. Cullom defended the bill. The com- mittee had wiven the subject of long and short hauls a good deal of consideration, and had not telt it safe to go furfher than the state of Massachusetts had gone in that mat- ter. No country in the world had an abso- Iute long and short haul law for her rail- youds, “There was in this country a belief that the short hanl people were swindled in order to wake up for losses on long hauls. The committee had endeayored, by this bill; 1o prevent the possibility of railfoads recoup: inz themselves out of short haul people for losses on long hauls. The commitiee, he s, hadd not been able to bring their judg- ment to the conclusion that it would be wise to nsist that there should neveé¥ bo greater charges for shorter than for longer hauls, He wished such a lw could wisely be passed, but it passed s things were such a law would e ereatly injurions 1o the business of the country.

A Strong Effort to Have 1ts Fate De- cided at Once. WasmiNaroN, April pecial Tele- gram. |—Representative Wilkins, of Ohio, whojintroduced a resolution in the house yesterday, declaring that it is the sense of the house that the duty on wools should not ve reduced, was seen by your correspondent and asked what his object was in_introduc- ing this resolution when Morrison's tariff bill which places wool on the free list was on the calen “Itisto determine swhethe r we are to have free wool, and to determine it at once,” replied Mr. Wilkins, *If that reso- Tution ean be adopted. it will have an imme- diate effect upon the wool market, pushing the prices right up, and this would be fortu- nate forall wool growers. Just now the prices are very low on acconnt of the possi- bility. if not probability, of the passage of the Morrison tariff bill.” “But your resolution was referred to the commitiee on ways and means, the majority of whicli is prononnesd in favor of free Will it ever be reported back to the house? “Don’t be too sure,” veplied M. Wilkins, “that the democratic members of ways and means are in favor of frea wool. I have been securinz opinions, and I believe the bilt will be reportad back to the louse, if not favor- ably. However, [ shall not wait long upon the committee, Itis my intention to intro- duce another resolution of similar import on next Monday if this one does not come back by that time.” Do you think the house will pass it?” “Yes; Ithink so. T have made dilligent inquiry, and find very many democrats who are opposed to free wool. My proposition is stronger than the $ariff bill. I think M, Morrison sees he has made a mistake in put- ting itin his bill, and thereby striking at the chief industry in Olio and lowa and an_im- portant interest in several other states. You may advise the wool growers of these states not to disnose of their wool till it is tained what will become of this resolution, for I believe that it will be adopted within a few days. Andaf it is they will get better prices than they are now offered.” “There is no probability whatever that the committee on ways and means will report upon Mr. Wilkins' resolution, but it is prob- able that he may succeed in seeuring an ex- pression directly from the house, as a strong demand is being made by the farmers of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Towa, Nebraska, Minnesota and some of the other states to have the question of free wool disposed of before they sell their spring crops of wool. asc THE PAYNE BRIBERY.

HERHUSBAND,CRAZED, SUICIDES A Mob Lariats the Murderer, Tics Him to a Spirited Horse Which Drags Him to His Death, A Horrible Affair, KANsas Crry, April 25.—The Times' Topeka, Kans., special says: Last Saturday the wife of Jacob Freimuth, a homesteader in Seward connty, was cruelly murdered and outraged by Fritz Rupin, a halt witted Ger- man, Rupin had been for some time enjoy- ing the hospitality of Freimuth. He was lomeless and without friends, and they had taken him until he could find work. — On the day mentioned, during the temporary absence of Freimu Rupin over- powered his benefactor's wife and brutally outraged her person. Not content with this, he bound the lady and cut her throat from ear to car. The brute then cured an old, rusty hoe,and while the woman was yet writhing in the death struggle he disemboweled her with the blunt instrument. Mrs. Freimuth was enciente, and when dis- covered the unborn babe lay a few feet from the body of the mother cut in two. Freimuth returned Suuday, andwhen he discovered the mutilated body of his wife became a rav- ing maniac. A neighbor in that sparsely settled region happened to be passing that w. shortly after 12 oelock, and found him, but dared not ap- proach for fear of his personal safety. IHe rode rapidly to a settlement some miles dis- tant, and told the terrible tale. A party was atonce organized and they returned to the scone of the outrage and found Freimuth welterlng in his own blood. A grave was dug and the remains of the unfortunate people were buried. A posse then set out to scour the country for the murderer and found him secreted in a small ravine, several miles away from the cene of his erime, near the Cimarron river. Some speculation was indulged in asto the proper method of ridding the world of him, but not much time was consumed in deliber- ating. A fractious and spirited horse was sceured and saddled. One end of a long lariat was then fastened around his neck and the other securcly attached to the pommel of the saddie. The horse then started, and amid the shouting of the men and the crack of revolvers and rifles, the frightened animal tore away. After a run of nearly five miles the beast tell ex- hausted. ‘The lifeless body of the murderer was loosencd as soon as the men came up. “The laviat had drawn so tight that his head was almost severed from his body, His fea- tures showed that he had died a terrible death, “The body was left on the prairie uncovered.

At present all branches of the piano-making trade, the man- ufacturing trade, ineluding upholsterers, wood carvers, polishers, ete., have made a de- mand for shorter hours, What the result will be remains to be seen. As yet, the question of wages has not been settled, and the men have not decided whether with the reduction of hours will come the reduction of wages or not. The feeling among manufacturers is that they cannot comply with the request of the unions, and the matter may end ina compromise. In nearly all branches, except building, this is a dull season of the year, and manufactarers, at least so some of them say, have been hard at work getting a full supply of stock on hand in anticipation of trouble on May 1, Business Men On Labor.

WasHINGTON, April 27—[Special Tele- gram.]—The house Indian committee sub- mitted the following novel question to the attorney general: “Can congress constitu- tionally enact a law cutting off tho tribal re- lations of Indian women who manry citizens of the United States?” The oflicial com- mittee that investizated Indian matters this summer discovered that a large number of white men marry squaws in order to obtain the annuitics and rations that are grante to the members of the tribe, and it 1s believed that a law that would make the squaw who married a white man lose her tribal relations would beak up a_large proportion of such marriages in the future.” Under the existing circimstances a good many men who marry squaws, 5o far as drawing annuities are con- cerned, are Indians. But they also claim the right to vote and aet generally as citizens, A ease has just been discovered in the interior department whieh involves some of the points at issue. An Irishman named Don hue, who was alsoan American citizen, mar- ried & squaw, was adopted by the tribe, and ot his annuities like an Indian. Finally he had a row with the tribe and was thrown out, and the tribe notified the Indian agent that he was no longer a member of the tribe, He appealed his case, and the Tndian commis- sioner reinstated him. But the seeretary overruled this decision, holding that as the tribe originally granted him the right to be long to the tribe, it alone could take that right away. He further held that there was no uribunal in the United States that could review the proceedings of an Indian council. e A Thicf and Bigamist.
