The initiation of the suit is a source of patisfaction to the defendants masmuoh as they have been publicly accused of certain malicious actions on the day mentioned that never occurred and an open trial will relieve them, in a measure, of the stigma that has been placed upon their good name by the whims of evil-minded partics, Politics and Law at West Point.

The Sioux Reservation Bill Agreed To—Cleveland May Veto the Bond Puarchase Bill-Mills Sick. The Direct Tax Bill Fight. Wasnixerox Bureav tie Omana Brg, 18 FOURTEENTH STRRET, Wasmixeron, D. C.. April 6. To-day's session of the house of repre- sentatives was consumed by steady roll calls, and the sawe fillibustering tactics em- ployed during most of the week by the ovponents of the direct tax bill. There was a call of the house late in the afternoon, when the doors were locked and the ser- goant-at-arms was sent over the city to bring in the absent members, Finally the house took a reoess until half past 11 o’clock to- morrow morming when the same programme is to bo resumed. This is one of the clearest cases of fillibustering that has taken place in congress for many years. Kach morning when the house meets a motion is pending for adjournment, upon which the ayes and nays are caliod. It takes wbout forty-five minutes to make a call of the house and an- nounce the pairs. The tactics of the filli- busters is to compound motions for adjourn- ment. For instance, one of them moves to adjourn to a certain hour, generally 5 o'clock. Another ono will move to amend by making the hour half past 4. Again another motion is made by .a third fillibusterer to amend the amendment to make the adjournment 4 o’clock. A fourth fillibusterer moves to lay the motions on the table, and upon all of these motions the ayes and noes are demanded, and it takes about three and a half hours to dispose of the batch. When these arc out.of the way the action is repeated, and so three days have been frittered away. Few members have tried to make any remarks, exceptin the way of jibes, At times the scene becomes noisy, as members hurl remarks from one side of the hall to the other, but usually there is very good order, and quictude reigns The memb hip of the house has been quite full during the past three days, and but fow were absent to-day, It is reported that 1 dent Cleveland has ordered a halt called in the fillibustering, and that to-morrow or Monday the deadlock will breuk. The minority will yield to a vote on the main question and the direct tax bill will be passed. A number of democratic members were roquested by the president to-day to cease fillibustering, and it is said that the chief exccutive has either seen or bas sen t word to the leaders of the fillibus- terers that they will do a great injury to the party and injustice to the administration if this work is kept up longer. From the be- ginning it was apparent that the opponents of the bill could not succeed, because they were 8o fue 1 the minority. Thoy number less than fifty and less than a_baker's dozen less than the required one-fifth necessary to demand a roll call. The edict of the presi- dent settles the situation and will doubtless unravel the tangle. Such friends of the bill as Generals Grover of Ohio, Henderson of lown, Brown of Indiana, and Reid of Maine, decls o-day that they would ‘spend the remainder of their terms voting before they would yield to defeat or grant the demand of the opponents, which is that an_wmendment be accepted to refund to the southern states the cotton tax. THE S10UX RESERVATION BILL, The conference committee has agreed upon the senate amendments to the bill opening the Sioux reservation in Dakota to settle- ment, and that measure, which has been pending before congress so long, will go to the president for his signature us soon as the conference report can be acted upon. The bill reserves portions of the reservation as it now exists for the Indians belonging to the Pine Ridge, Rosebud, Standing Rock, Chey- enne River, Lower Brule, Crow Creek and other agencies, Each mewber of the Santee and Flandreau tribes is allowed an allotment of a l\uuru section, and lands that have been ulready sold by the Indians to the S Paul and Dukota Central railways are con- firmed to those compunies. The remainder of the reservation has been opened to settle- ment under the present land laws, and the proceeds are to bo held by the govern- ment as a permanent fund for the education and civilization of the Indians, Any Indian who desires to discounect himself from the tribe and tribe allotment of law, is to be provided with two cows, @ puir of oxen, a plow, wagon and other agricultural implements, 0 in cash and the nec seed to plant five acres of land. The reservation open for settlcment under the homestead uct is to be sold for 50 cents quarter section; tracts and townsites at the rate of $1.25 un acre. American istand, in the Missouri river near Chamberlam, donated to the city of Chamberlain, Farm ud to the city of Pierre and Niobrara ud to the city of Niobrara for park pur- poses, and any Tudian settlers upon the: islands are to be indemnified for im ments they have made. All »w and Winneba the proclumation of the and located lands are to bave the right der their claims apd have preference allother entries. Two sections of cach township are reserved for public school pur- and the act is not 10 go into effect atified by the Indians. ) PURCHASE BILL MAY BE VETOED. B y Fairchild, as well as the p dent, is very much put out over the bond purchase bill which passed the senate the other day us amended by Senator Beck, which 18 now in the hands of a confer committee, Beck's wmendment provides there shall be a silver dollar put out for every national bank note received to prevent a contraction of the currency. Sce Fairehild to-day uncorked the phials of wrath to Senator Gorman, and declured that he would, if it wer the bill and would s dent from doing 8o, The president is only fairly well satisfied with the bill, but con- siders it the best that can be obtained under the cumstances. Fairchild's grievance 18 against the unlimited comnage of silver,w’ the bill provides for, Fairchild is a gold bug and has 10 patience with any one who fuvors silver. Sewator Beck was informed of Mr, Fairchild’s comment, and becoming ver; angry said: “Mr. Fairchild is talking ver) foolishly, T havenot seen the president and 1 do not know his views.” It is believed by a nymber of the democrutic senators that the president will sign the bill. Others again re- ferring to the letter written by him before his nomination contend that he cannot con- tently favorthe extension of silver coin- that Mr, Cleveland will permit the bill to become a law by the lapse of ton days, as he has atready dene on prev- ious occasions. DOBSEY'S PACIFIC RAILROAD AME There is very little doubt that the committee on Pacific railroads will accept Mr. Dorsey's amendment, which will permit the states to legislate for the coutrol of trafic on the Pa- cifie rouds the same as if they were incors porated under state laws. Mr. Dorsey has made a very earnest appeal to the committee aud impressed vpon it the necessity of ao- cepting bis amendment if it is the intention to pass the bill. He has gone to nearly all the members of the states through which the Pacific railroads pass and it is understood that they have made their support of the bill contingent upou the acceptance of the amend ment. Mr. Dorsey said to-day that unless the amendment was accepted he believed there would be fillibustering against the pas- sage of the bill. 1f the friends of t ment will only stand together the; force the house to adopt the amendient or bring about the defeat of the final passage of the bill. The public ilroad lobbyists are very active now, and have made a complete cauvass of the house. Their count of noses has made them very uervous, as it reveals euough doubtful members and those who are opposed to the bill to defeat its passage by fillibustering, if uot by a direct vote. They will try to have the bill passod without amendment. CHAIRMAN MILLS VERY SICK, Representative Mills, chairnan of the com. mittee on ways and meaus, continues Lo be a very sick man, He appeared in the bouse at president in the presi- MENT, the beginning of the week to report his tarift bill, and thert went to his residenee, from which he has not since emerged, He looked thin, almost.tottered as he walked, and his friends urged him to keep in the house until he recovered. On Tuesday and Wednesday members called on him and were sur- prised at his pale and haggard appearance, and urged him to leave the oity for a fow days. Tnese requests were supplemented by the advice of the family physician, and ho was directed to go to Fortress Monroe and remain until he was strong enough to resume his participation in the house proceedings Mills refused to do this, and insists upon reading the house proceedings closely and swriting and talking tarff almost incessantly. This afternoon hie was reported considerably worse and has some fever. To-night Mr, Mills’ friends are oonsiderably concernad over his condition. DAKOTA IN A DEMOCRATIC CATCTS, Representative Springer and - his demo. cratic associates upon the committee on ter- ritories have become so much alurmed con- cerning the action of the house on the divis- ion and admission of Dakota that they hav called a caucus in order to make the “admis- sion as a whole bill” a party measuro, As has been repeate stated In these- di patches, there are from twelve to twen democrats who favor division before admis- sion and have been intending to_support the Baker bill. To whip them into line Springer has asked for this caucus, but whether he will succeed in doing 8o is a question, The gentleman from Sangamon county wants to wot an endorsement of his omnibus bill which admits Dakota as a whole, Mountana, ‘Washington and New Mexico, vut his suc- cess is doubtful. MIS. LOGAN'S PENSION 18 A FACT. The president has approved, without delay or question, the bill giving a pension to Mrs. Logan, and it has now become a law. Here- after Mrs, Logan will draw $500 each quarter from the treasury of the United States as long as she shall live, MISCELLANEOUS PARAGRATHS. Mr. Ralph W. Breckenridge, of Omaha, is in the city on important legal business, Senator Paddock to-day catled \l{v in the senate and secured the passago of bills grant- ing pensions to Joseph 1.

The Pinkerton men who have been “guard- ing" the property of the B. & M. in this state, Colorado and Wyoming will, it is be- lieved, be withdrawn the forepart of next weel, there being no further use for their services, The number employed in the states mentioned has not been less than four hun- dred and fifty. while the entire “Q.” system has been protected by over one thousand. The men are constantly employed and will, when taken from here, be sent to various points in the east, Coney Island and other points where dificulties occur. Others will o on duty in New York city, Philadelphia and other points. 1S ARM WAS BROKEN. H. W. Culbertson, one of tho B. & M. “scab switchmen, went to Dr. Lec yests day, compluining that his arm had been pain- g him greatly for two or three days, ~ Au examination of the member showed that one of the bones in the forsirm was broken. Culbertson said he receive is i on Tuesday evening about 0 o'clock. Ho was returning home on his engine at the timo when a number of men jumped aboard and assaulted him. He was badly beaten and finally knocked sonseless. The men then disuppeared. His arm was hurt at this time, incapacitating him for work, but he did not know that the bone was broken. A Fruitless Conference. Cncaco, April 6.—General Mavager Jef- freys, of the Iliinois Central road, in com- pany with Messrs, Surgent, Monahan, Hogo and Murphy, called at the Chicago, Burling- ton & Quincy offices to-day. Sargent acted as spokesman in behalf of the lute engineers and firemen of the “Q” road, and urged that the whole matter be left to arbitration. The railroad company officials said that such a proposition was inadmis at the present time and the situation of the . uew men and the terms on which they were engaged were fully explained. General Manager Stone urged Sargent to have the strike calied off, promising te con- sider applications from thé old men and give itions to as many of them as he could. Grand Master Sargent, after the confer was concluded, left for hishome atTerre Haute, loaving the lo situation in the hinds irman Hoge of the Burlington i committee. The latter said to- ght the conference left the situation practi- cally unchanged. They could not consent to having their men taken back m batchics. Ho denied that there was any truth in tbe rumor prevalent to-night to the effect that the strike had been called off. Late to-night a report was received at the rooms of the brotherhood that all the masters of the Burlingtou roud ¢: had left the service of th are in all about twenty and day crews, and it is their knowledge the local geography of the yards which mukes them valuable. Their positions are particu- fly important at this tme during the rush zht which the raising of the boycott has caused. This blow, following the swite men’s strike, just at o moment when it would produce the most harm, makes it look as if the fight was not yet o Another Locomotiv SciurLer, Neb., April Tele- gram to the Bee.]—Shortly after 11 o'cloclk to-day one of the 13, & M's new engincers, in turning an engine ou the turntable here, attempted to send tho drivers over a fou inch oak bloc! The head of steam neces- sary to do this was so great as to send the tender off the track, which was not exactly in line with the table track, He then uu- coupled the engine from the tender and ook it out n line to die. At 6 o'clock this ¢ tender was righted and the in will probably get out all right later, 'his is the id case of an engine dying here within a week on account of the engin- eer'’s incompetency. e — Legistative Appropriations, Des Moises, Ia, April 6.—The appropria- tions committees of the two houses huve agreed on the following appropriations for state institutions and will report this after- noon: Agricultural college, A $ Blind asylum.

CAUSED BY A FAMILY QUARREL. T The O1d Man Terribly Wounded, But Will Probably téve—The Would- Be Assassin_fscapes in the Darieness. Almost a Murder. Four shots fired in quick succossion, a scream of murder, followed by a volley of foul curses brought to their doors the people living near Rushford & Gore's brickyard, outh Thirteenth street, about 9 o'clock last evening. The screams continuing the neigh- bors rushed out to find Jim Kerns, a brick- moulder, lying on the ground apparently dy- ing from terrible wounds, while the fleet figure of his assailantdould be faintly di ned disappearing in the darkness. The prostrate man was picked up and carried to a house near by where it was discovered that ho had been horribly butchered, In his right cheek was & great bullet bole, from which the blood was gush- ing in streams, his right nostril had been split from top to bottom and another ball had wounded him in the meck. One bullet had passed through his right hand and three through his left, one of them com- pletely shattering his little finger. His head was a sickening network of gashes where he had been beaten with the butt end of a re- volv Despite all these wounds Kerns was con- scious and to the horror of his neighbors told them that the man making this mur- derous assault upon him was none other than his own son-in-law, Billy Woods, and the only thing between them was a trifling domestic difficulty. Woods is a man of about thirty. He is also a brick moulder and married Kerns' daughter about_seven years ago. The greater part of that time the Woods aud Kerns lived together in one cot- tage and Billy was pronounced by Kerns to be a model son-in-law. They still-occupy one cottage between them, about three blocks below Vinton on South Thirteenth street, and it was only about thirty rods north of this domicile’ that the bloody affair of last night occurred, Kerns says that no trouble ever came be- tween them until about three or four d ago, when he came home and found his grandehild wearing a pair of shoes that he thought were not fit to wear. ~Accordingly he throw them in the stove and bought a new pair to suit his fancy better. Woods was ighly indignant over this and thought_that KKerns was meddling with his family affairs, Thursday night matters came to_u crisis and they engaged iu a fist fight. Woods then swore vengeance upon his father-in-law. Last evening Woods armed himself with a revolver and followed Kerns home. When e was about ten rods a from Rushford & Gore's brick yard he assaulted his father- n-law aud attemptedto murder him. When the first shot was Hred Kerns threw his hands up to his head,and every one of the subsequont balls ,passed through his hands. After the fojrth shot was fired Kerns turned and grappled with his assail- ant. But his wounds had weakened his strength and the younger man downed him. With the butt of his revolver Woods at- tempted to brain his father-in-law, the ham- mer literally chopping ¥he scalp to pieces. When Kerns was found by his neighbors, the patrol wagon wascalled and he was taken to the contral police station to have his wounds dressed by Dr.-Ralph, the city pt siclan. The hair had to be cut from Kern: head and the picces of scalp were so loose that it was only with the greatest care that it could be done. The;doctor said it was the most mutilated head he ever saw. The complete scalp had to-by bandaged. On ex- amining the wound in his cheek it was found that the cheek bone had been brolen and a large piece was taken out by the doctor. Tho split -~ nostril was sewed up. Fortunately none of the bullet wounds had taken fatal effect. The thing that dis- tressed Kerns the most was the permanent erippling of his hands, which will greaily - terfere with his business of brickmoulding. The officers arrived on the scene of the shooting a little too late to et on the trail of Woods, but & squad consisting of Officers Mostyn, Dempsey, Ward, Godola, Marnell and Brady were detailed to work the matter up. Up to a late hour this morning the would-be murdcrer was still at large. AMUSEMENTS. Roland Reed at Boyd's in*The Woman- Hater Roland Reed, onc of the best of the modern school of eceentric comedians, appeared at Boyd's opera house last evening in “The Woman-Hater.” The piece is one of the most humorous of the broad comedics pro duccd i this country in the last decade and is fairly bubbling over with genuine, clean fun, and particul free from the horse play which has been called comedy during the few years which tave eclapsed sinee tho production of Mr. Hoyt's “Bunch of Keys.” Mr, Reed s the legitimate heir of the pieco which written for and played by the late John T. Raymond, and bis impersonation of the character of Sainuel Bundy is fully equal 1o that of the lamented actor who first appeared in the character. Mr, Reed's tal- ents seem 10 have particularly fitted hin for the interpretation of the eccentric Bundy, whose matrimonial aspirations led him into the series of blunders which fnrnish the bulk of the comedy element out of which ti plot is framed. Despite the fact that the tractions billed, both before and after his pearance, are, from a dramatic point, strong, o fine audience greeted him and ample demonstrations of approval by most hearty applause and laughte company supporting Mr. Reed is thorough!, effective and gives competent aid in produciug the altogether uproarous picce, SOUTH OMAHA NEWS, Albert Able and of Plum Crock, are at the Iox .

There was a current rumor in business cir- cles yesterday to the effect that an immense lard refinery and beef canning establishment was about to be located at this place. While the report was gon- erally ecredited nothing definite could be learned concerning tho entorprise. It is stated that Chicago parties are at the back of the projoct and that Nels Morris is also an intercsted party in the deal. Nothing of importance transpired in con- nectionjwith the strike at South Omaha yes- terday. The striking engineors and switch- men have practically deserted the Burlington yards and the police are of the opinion that no further trouble will ensue. Several of the Pinkerton ~ dudes who have been doing duty about the yards wero removed (o Omatia_to-day, presumably by orders from General Manager Holdrege, Six full crews are now at work and traffic is in no way im- peded. The authoritios are of the opinion that they have a slight clue to the parties that bur- glarized a clothing and gonts' furnishing store in South Omaha Wednesday night, a full account of which was in the Bik Wednes- day. Yestorday Marshal McCracken went to Bellevue, a town about six miles out of South Omaha, where it is thought tho perpetrators reside. An mdividual whose name is Adams, residing at that place, and who bears a questionable reputation, was seen in this place late Wednesday night and was known to have sojourned several days bofore the robbery, Thursday morning his boarding place on Twenty-eighth street was visited, but he was found missing. The proprietor ' of the boarding establishment states that he left without his knowledge. From what can be gleaned on the outside, it is thought that at least threc persons wero implicated in the work. About five months ago S. K. Kreigham rented his house and farm to John Kennedy and gave a leage for two years with a privi- lego of five. He went to California and was absent for some time. He returned about two weeks ago and has_since been stopping at a hotel in North Omaha. The farm in uestion is two miles out of South Omaha. Last night Kreigham repaired to the house at a late hour and demanded admission. Mr. Kennedy was in Omaha on business and his wife was alone. However, she admitted him, and no soomer hud he gained entrance to the house than he ordercd fier to pack up her colluterals and docamp, While thus talking, Krelgham who was extremely drunk, fell helpless on tho floor. Mrs. Kennedy, who is afflicted with heart aflments, became frightened and also foll in a faint in a chair, She regained consciousness, however, and managed to_get outside the bullding, where she remained until the arrival of her husband, which wa fully two hours afterward. This morning a warrant_was fssued for Kreigham's arrest and he was bagged by Marshal MeCracken about. noontimé, . He admits that ho was drunk and states that he was not aware of what he was doing. Yosterday Mrs, Kennedy was reported to bo in a precarious condition from the shock she received. Two physicians are in attendance. Kreigham is confined in the central police station and will not be given a hearing until to-morrow. Everything was quiet in_connection with the bricklayers' strike here yesterday. The strikers still in out, and firm in their re- fusal to return to work until the demand for more wages is satisfied. Nine non-union men_were at work on Lester Bros.’ block on N street to-day, and a large number at other points throuizhout the city. vever. there appears to be a short in (the supply of _men, and gen- crally thought 'that by Monday the strikers will be given the advance de- manded. Several of the contractors main- tain that if they are compelled to pay the scale s regulated by the union, they will be putto an unwarrénted loss, on account of their having figured very closely on their estimates. A prominent contractor said to a Bee reporter yesterday ““There are many ways to look at this mat- ter. No class of men are more pained to_un- dergo a strike than the contract Now, when we figure on the construction of a building we take the wages into considera- tion_just_as well as we do the materiul needed. We govern ourselves according to the standard of wages just the same as we would in figuring on so many thousand fect of lumber. Now when we get this sum ized we know justabout what we can take a contract at. Here is whe the dificulty comesin, The men that we had figured at such o rate make a demand for more. It may seem but little, but when you liave, say for example, forty or fifty wen and the work extends over a period of wecks and months, you will find_that 1 losses are mo frequent tnan actual realizations. 1f these men are to be governed by such meth- ods, why do they not_establish a standard so at we can estimate accordinglyt would do away with all this necdless labor diflicuity.” When que the lay 10 “That foned concerning the tenor of above utterance, a member of the brick- s union gave vent to his opinion} s fol- is all well and good, but the state- ment couc ing our standard of wages is wrong, We have a standard and our o gave it out plainly that at the period the str was instituted its members would make a de- mand for higher wages. This was givi months ago and was well known by contractors, In fact, I am of th t the major portion of them regulated their contracts accordin et asalild FELL WITH A CRASH.
