INGALLS’ It Leads the Indiana Statesman Into a Breach of, Parlimentary Eti- quette When His War Rec- ord is Recalled. Senate. ‘WasmixGrox, May 1.—The senate galleries presented an unusually animated appearance at the opening of to-day's session, being crowded with spectators—principally ladies —drawn by the announcement of a speech by Mr. Ingalls in response to Voorhees' invective of last wednesday. At the conclusion of morning business Mr. Stewart proceeded to address the senate in support of his silver coinage resolution, after ‘which it was adopted. At 2 o'clock Mr. Ingalls commenced his speech, He recalled the fact that in July last Major General Fitz John Porter wrote a letter to his friends thanking them aud say- ing his heart was always with them. Tne senator from Indiana had complamed last ‘Wednesday that an attempt hud been made to blacken the names of all the great civil and military leaders in the late war who had remained true to the democratic party. Fitz John Porter was one of those military leaders who maintained his allegiance to the democratic party, and he, within the last four months, although he had been lonorably dismissed from the service and had been restored by the action of the demo- cratic party and its members who had been members of the confederacy, had written that his “‘heart was always with them.” Referring to General McClellan, Mr. In- galls spoke of his education at West Point; of his business connection with Beauregard and his attempt to extend and continue human_ slavery by the acquisition of Cuba. He spoke of him as having begun his mili- tary carcer by disobeying the orders of Gen- eral Scott; as huvin;; abandoned Pope at Centreville; as having failed to put the reb- els to the sword at Antietam; as having re- fused to obey the orders of the president and follow the rebels to Winchester; and as hav- ing fatally controlled the destiny of the army until the battle of Fredericksburg. History had pronounced its verdict upon him as a soldier, and the scnator from Indiana would not be able to lace him in tho category with Napoleon, Han- nibal and wsar. He (Ingalls) dealt ‘with him as a politician and said no one could read his letter to President Lincoln after the disastrous seven days’ fight on the Peninsula and before Richmond without coming to the conclusion that he was not fully and actively 1n sympathy with the forces, ideas and senti- ments which were then controlling the American people, * TAs to General Hancock, he also, Mr. Tn- galls said, was one of the mulitary Jeaders, ‘who were true to the democrcy. His martial career was one of the imperishale heritages of American glory. He marched and triumphed. He filled the abyss of fame with names which would be eternally luminous. The Peninsula, Antietam, Gettysburg, Chancellorville, Cold Harbor and Petersburg. Had he been a sol- dier under Napoleon he would have been prince and marshal of the empire. Heo had well been called Hancock the Superb, But after the war closed he, like McClellan, had become tainted with the fatal virus of ambition for the presidential nomination, but notwithstanding his magnificent and unap- proachable career, the American people recognized his hostility to the reconstruction measurés, and in the presidential election of 1880 he carried but three northern states, Cali- fornia, Nevada and New Jersey, and the first two of them had been stolen by the forgery and fraud of the Morey letter issued by dem- ocratic politicians, He had also reccived the 188 electoral votes of the solid south, which had been promised him, in his speech at Cin- cinnati by the senator from South Carolina, Mr. Hampton. Mr. Ingalls spoke of the affected ndignation of the senators from Indiana and Kentucky as discreditable to cir intelligence or their candor. 1f they id not know that he had spoken of these union generals not as_soldiers butas poli- ticians and as democratic candidates for the presidency, they were dull, stupid and ignor- ant imdeed, 1f they did not know it and per- sisted in their assertions they were disin- genuous and he suspected, if such a thing were possible, that they were both, (Laugh- ter). Mr, Ingalls, continuing, said: Mr. Presi- dént, from the impassioned culogy; from the rhapsody of approbation that flowed from the senator from indiana_at the great military achievements of McClellan and Hancock, T began to have some doubts who it was that really put down the rebellion. T was driven curiously to inquire what was the attitude of the democratic purty in the north and the senator from Indiana as one of its great lead- ©rs in 1802, when McClellan, thé ideal demo- crat, was fighting the battle of Antietam, and in 1863, when Hancock was hurling back in confuslon and dismay the scattered squadrons of the confederacy. I was really, for & mo- ment, Mr. President, inclined to believe that the democrats of the north, the senator from Indiana, and those other great patriots whom he enlogizes as_an immovablo bulwarl of Jiberty, of the constitution and the union—Thomas Hendricks and Horatio Soymour and Wm. A, Richardson—were in the full panoply_of battle, assisting McClel- lan, assisting Haucogk, doing what they should to make the success of the armics possible, And it scems like the very climax of eftrontery, like the apex of audacity, for these men, whose history is so well known, who Were from the beginung avowed enc: mies of the cause of the union at every step of its progress, and who, like the senator from Indiana, were avowedly in sympathy with the south at the outset, and were udvo- cates and champions for slavery and sion, who gave aid and comfort to the - lion In overy possible way—*"Copperhicads,” “Butternuts"—|Laughter] —“The Kuights of the Golden Circle,” with all their brutal, degraded lies—appearing here as advocates and champions of union soldiers and of the cause of human liberty, sup- josed from the enthusiasm displayed W favor- of the military achiovements of McClellan and Hancock, that w should upon inspection at lust find that the leaders of the dem gized, were in sympathy with the union ca in sympathy with the efforts that th muking to overthrow the confedera % Mir, President, at the very time, and_during the yery year when McClellan was fighting tho battle of Antietam, the senator from Iu- diana, without excepting McClellan and witLout excepting Hancock, speaking at Sul- Yivan, Ind., on the 5th of August, 1562, said, in reference to the union soldiers, that they should go to the nearest blacksmith shop and have iron collars made and placed around their necks with the words inscribed thereon in largo letters, “My dog. A. Lincoln, and at the same tinle he referrod 10 the 'union soldiers & c hireli i without excopting McClellan or Hane Loughter and~ applause). And, dur- ok the campai Mr. Président that resulted in the eloction of Abratiam Lincoln, the senator from Indiana, who is now 0 vchemently in favor of the prosecution of the war of the rebellion for putting down the south; who 80 culogizes the efforts of the union armios and the gonius of the union commanders; who poscs here as a i epecial friend of the union soldicr and as- perscs criticism upon the political characters nnd afMliations of those who were engaged in Vi made a speech at Greencastle, reported in the Cincinnati Com- 1, August 8, 1584, by Josephi B. McCul- BOW aditor of the St, Louis Globe Dem Mr, Ingalls read cxtracts from the speech which declared the war a failure and spoke of Lincoln as a monster and an ynhappy clon. He passed to the question of the electaral somcission of 1676 and staled that'it was a pit the democratic party had dug and fallen into. He referred to Hon, Henry Watter- son’s proclamation for “one hundred_thou- sand unarmed Kentuckians' to visit Wash- ington, and concluded by saying that they failed 'to materalize owing to Grant's firm- nese, because if there was anything that would turn the average democrat inside out, with indignation, it was the sightof a fed- eral soldier in blue uniform. [Laughter.] Referring to the fact that the country still had the confederacy against it with all that it implied in the past, he asked, who was Lucius Quintus Curtius Lamar! He was never suspected of being a lawyer. [Laugh- ter.] His bitterest enemy never accused him of that, He never had been admitted to the bar of the supreme court, on whose bench hefwas appointed. He never had tried a reported case in any tribunal, state or na- tional, for thirty years, It was an open se- cret that the president at one time peremp- torily refused to appoint him. He asked what necessity there had been for the presi- dent to offend the loyal sentiment of the country by placing on the bench of the supreme court a man_ who was not a lawyer and who never had been, and who hmi called Abraham Lincoln a buffoon. Why, of all men in the south, did the democracy select him and force him on a reluctant president and a reluctant peoplel It was because Lamar was the nearest and dearest friend and representative of Jeffer- son Davis. There was no other explanation of it. If that was not true, then his nomina- tion was a farce and a burlesque without ex- cuse or explanation, Mr. Ingalls then referred to the speech made in the house of representatives in 1879 Uy Mr. Blackburn declaring it to be the pur- no!c and intention of the democratic party to eep on until it wiped from the statute book the last vestige of the war, Passing on to the question of elections in the %outh, he said, the republican party would have no right to complain if the south were kept solid by fair means. Butthe democrat, there ~ had been playing the political game with loaded dice and had been ‘“throwing sixes” all the time. He held ‘'stacked cards,” and played with a “‘cold deck.” He had a re- volver in his boot and a bowie knife down the back of his neck. In closing Mr. Ingalle said 1n the centuries that are to come he saw the vision of united, prosperous and happy America, a vast, homogeneous domain of free men, the rulersof the continent from the pole on to the Gulf, from the Atlantic to the Pacific, enjoying the franchises of liberty and the perpetuating arts of peace. The people should remember, he said, on each re- curring day when they celebrated those who had died, that this country held in its fruit- ful and tender breast no more priceless treasure than the consecrated dust of those who had died in order that this might be a overnment of laws and not of men, and that iberty and constitutional government might not perish forever from the face of the earth. Mr. Voorhees arose and in slow, measured, resonant tones remarked that the speech which the senate had just listened to recalled to his mind the fable of the mountain in labor. Two hours had passed away, after the blast of a trumpet before the large audi- ence and the senate, and what had they heard and what had they sceni A poor, small mouse creeping off. His allusion last Wednesday to the senator from Kansas had been merely incidental. Men mistook them- selves and the senator from Kansas did so more than any one he knew. That senator had not been alive politically since the 6th of March last, when the senator from Kentucky (Mr. Blackburn) disposed of im. He had made no attack upon him, but upon the re- publican party. He procéeded to compare Ingalls to a peacock on a barnyard fence, posing of a summer morning, looking at his own feathers as they glanced in the sun and vocalizing the whole neighborhood with his harsh, unmusical and unmeaning ecry, un- mindful of the fact that there were more useful fowls in the barnyard. How useless it had been for that senator to arraign him. He (Mr. Ingalls) had read to the senate the old, stale, putrid, rotten slanders of years gone by on which he (Voorhees) had trampled in forty political campaigns, That he ever uttered one word against union soldiers or talked of their hav- ing collars around their necks was a base falsehood. Mr. Voorhees alluded in a sarcastic and amusing manner to Ingalls’ war record and said he would stand with the senator before the soldiers of Indiana or Kansas and quit the senate if he was not approved by them over Ingalls, Mr. Ingalls replied that as the senator from Indiana had seen fit to invite a comparison between their records and their reluvons to the great question of the past twenty- five = years, he _ felt it his duty to ' put it _on record from fuformation in his posscssion, what the senator's history and record was. He should refer only to public matters in public records, and should venture the affir- mation that whatever; might have been his (Ingalls’) attitude toward the great struggle between the north and south the senator from Indiana had been from the outset,the de- termined, outspoken, positive, aggressive and malignant enemy of the union. I pronounce that,” said Mr, Voohees, ris- ing with anger in his eyes, “to be a deliber- ately false accusation. I voted for every dollar for that soldier, for every stitch of clothes he wore, for every pension bill that rewarded his services.” Mr. Ingalls said the senator came in here to-day and thanked God he never had been followed here by a committee to question his right to his seat; and with much diffuseness of illustration had endeavored to cast asper- sions upon bim (Ingalls) and belittle hum and humiliate him in the eyes of the American people when he (Ingalls) had only referred to the senator’s public utterances--his speeches which he had never denied. Mr. Voorhees declared that he did deny it. Mr. Ingalls replied that the senator could not deny the publication he had read. It was & verbatim report and so certified to. Mr. Voorhees asserted that not a word or a syliable said by the senator was true or be- lieved to be true in Indiana, The accusa- tion had been trampled under foot. The senutor's accusation that he (Voorhecs) had ever been a member of the political socicty, the Knights of the Golden Circle, was s0 buse and infamously false that he did not know how to choose lavguage to dengunce it as such, Mr, Ingalls, continuing, said the senator from Indiana had written a letter for I, Shute which that gentleman took south wi him and filed in the confederate war dep: ment in support of his application for an ap- pointinent as brigadier general in the confed- crate army. The letter was dated December 12, 1860, and “On the disturbing aues- tion of the day, his (Shute's) sentiments are entively with the south, and oue of his ob- jects is probably to secure’ 8 home in that scetion. T takethis occasion to say that h sentiments and mine are in close harmony.” .

In that sawe ofice was found other corres- pondence concerning thE cbjects and’ pur- ses of that organization. Tho. correspond- e of C. L. Valsndingbaw was iu the office. The senator, in his address to his con- stituents in 1361, had declared he would never vote a single dollar nor a single man for the prosecution of the war, and he never had done so 0 long as he was in congress. He had consistently and persistently voted against every measure for upholding the union cause and reinforcing its army. Mr. Voorhees here said if the ntleman from Kansas would find A single vote that he ast against the payntent of soldiers for their supplies, for bounties, agamst appro- priations for pensions, he would resien his seat in the senate. Every word the senator had stated on that subject was absolutely false, by the record; absolutely false. He measured his words. The senator had said was the object of his ator was the object of his He (Voorhees) reiterated his de- nial concerning his friendliness to soldiers and said the papers spoken of had been left in his oftice to put un ajob on him, He could only say, as he said to the people whose names were on the paper from Sullivan county, that they lied and did not tell the truth nor did the senator when he repeated what they said. The letter with regard to Captain Shute he had written. It was in December before the war broke out and he had sympathized with the feeling that there ought to be a compromise. s to charity he r«l{mm\vd to that with contempt. Ingalls—Did not the soldiers of Indiana threaten to hang the senator with the bell ro{m on a train after he had made that Lin- coln dog speech t ‘Voorhees—The senator is a great liar when he intimates such things; a great liar and a dirty doga; It never occurred: never in the world. That is all the answer I have, and I pass it back to the scoundrel behind the scnator who is instigating these lies. (This remark made in roference to Represen- tative Johnson, of Indiana, who was seated at the desk directly in the rear of Ingalls.) Tngalls—There 18 a very reputable gentlo- man in the chamber, a citizen of Indiana, who informs that me the signers of the certificate are entirely reputable inhabitants of Indiana, and that he knows fifty people who heard thé senator. Voorhees—Tell him I say hejis an infamous scoundrel and a liar, Tell him I say so. Mr. Eustis, of Louisiana, said he would inform the senator from Kansas that the mode and manner in which the T.ouisiana election had been conducted, being a state election, was none of his business, whatever, He denounced as scandalous, vituperative and unparliamentary, the language which had been used by the semator from Kansas _with reference to the peo- ple of Louisiana. There seemed to be a proconceived conspiracy among the repub- n leaders to question the legality of elec- tions in the south for no other purpose than to convince northern people that a democratic administration clected by the suffrage of the people was a usurpation, Senator Gibson followed. He smid the charges of the senator from Kansas were an aspersion upon the character and patriotism of the sonthern people. The southern people were doing their best. With benevolence, with charity, with composure and firmness they were invoking all of the resources of civilization to settle this question. The senate then adjourned. House. ‘WasnINGTON, May 1.—The senate bill was passed granting the right of way through Indian Territory to the Kansas City & Pacific railroad company. ‘The house then went into committee of the whole (Mr. Springer of Illinois in the chair) on the tariff bill. Mr. McCreary, of Kentucky, took the floor. President Cleveland, he said, had made him- self conspicuous before the whole country by the wisdom and courage exhibited in his annual message, when he recommended tax reform and reduction of the surplus. Congress snould long ago have reduced tax- ation, but the journals of the house would show that the repeated cfforts of the demo- cratic party in that direction were thwarted by the gentlemen on the other side. He then turned his attention to that portion of Kelly's tariff speech in which the latter drawsan unfavorable condition of affairs in Kentucky, and the speaker declared the statements made by the gentleman were marvelous and gross misrepresentations. ‘Mr. Foran of Ohio opposed the bill, He discussed it at some length and earnestly op- posed the proposition to place wool on the free list. Touching upon wages, he declared if the bill passed, American workmen would be compelled to compete with English work- men and receive the same rate of pay for his work, Ho protested now and would protest under any and all circumstances against the false assumption and suicidal declaration that the socalled Mills bill involved demo- cratic principles and democratic duty. 1f it was the intention of the bill to reduce the surplus, it would prove an abortive failure, As it now stood he not only denounced it, but he repudiated and denounced it. b'{\llr' O'Ferrall of Virginja supported the ill, Mr. Dorsey of Nebraska followed in oppo- sition to the bill.

The Kansas Senator Lays Bare to Pub- lic Gaze the Conduct of the Tall Sycamore During the Dark Days of the Rebellion. -— Dorsey Against Free Trade, WAsHINGTON BUREAU TR OMATA Ber, 513 FOURTEENTH STREET, . Wasnixaroy, D. C.,, May 1 Representative Dorsey of the Third Ne- braska district delivered a speech on the Mills tariff bill in thp house this afternoon, and acquitted himself so well that he was heartily congratulated. In opening his re- marks he said: ‘‘As one of the representa- tives of one of the great progressive agricul- tural states of the west, I feel it my duty to oppose this bill on the ground that I believe it to be a meusure injurious alike to the agri- cultural and labor. interests of the country. This bill has not been prepared upon any principle whatever, but 1t is an emergency or expediency bill. patched up by the demo- cratic majority of the committee on ways and means without giving a hearing to those in- terests which are vitally affected by the changes proposed. The framers of the bill claim that they haye followed in the line recommended by the president in his recent message, in which he poses as the friend of the farmer, and we have presented to us a bill which, in my judgment, ipjures cvery man engaged in agricultural pursuits in this country. It would directly injure 1,000,000 of our farmers because it proposes to put wool on the free list, and it would indirectly injure every farmer In the country, because it proposes to reduce the duty or place on the free list so many articles that are now manufactured here, and destroy so many im- ‘portant industries, and thus drive the opera- tives to agriculmrE pursuits, In this re- spect the bill is the most vicious ever pre- sented to the republican congress.” Mr. Dorsey then "nvc an epitome of the different tariff acts from 1816 to the present time that relate to wool and woolens, ana showed that when protection was given the wool growing industry -the flocks increased and the weight of fleéce also increased, and the industry was unerative and prosper- ous. He also sho! that under an insuffi- cient tariff the number of sheep in the coun- try decreased and the industry was seriously cri]:rled, that this, like all other industries, needs stability; how, under a protective tariff and the building up of manufacturing industries, the value of the products of the farm has increased, as well as the value of the land; grouping the states having the greatest numberof manufacturing industries, showing that in those states labor is better paid and the farmers more prosperous. “I have lived long enough in the west," said Mr. Dorsey, ‘to see the western portion of our continent change fron a region \\'hollfi given over to the production of wheat an grain to states with diversified industries; towns that have hergtofare been distributive points for eastern manufacturers changed into centers of proawstive ind and dis- tributing the manuf: : - naces, mills, factorieg and workshops., First came the cultivutora of tue earth, whose business it is to feéed the many; next came those whose occupation it 1s to clothe such workmen and their familie and to shel- ter thdm; then comes the manufacturers of implements of all sorts, and as a conse- quence of this diversification come improved homes for the people, fschools, churches, and every instrument of a higher civilization. There are hundreds of growing young cities throughout the west whose enterprising peo- ple are to-day offering to any firm or corpora- tion that will establish a manufacturing plant within the borders both lands and money as a donation, thus to encourage the developme t of manufacturing industries. The representatives 0f these people are asked to support a measure in this congress that will injure, if not break down, the industries that we of the west are striving to build up. I now say to those enterprising citizens, either stop trying to build up your cities or vote down the party that will bring forth such a measure as the bill under considera- tion,” Then Mr. Dorsey answered the charge that agricultural progress and development was greater under a low than a high tariff, showing by statistics the increase in number and values of horses, mules, cattle, sheep and swine, showing a gain of over 100 per cent from 1870 to the. present; also the increase in number and value of farms, The depre: ation that has taken place in free trade Eng- land in agricultural lands and the price of 1abor, etc., were pointed outs the condition of the agriculturists in England compared with those 1n this country, which, he said could not be answered by the advocates of the Mills bill. He also showed that the pas- sage of this bill wounld not benefit the con- “sumer of manufactured articles unon which the tariff is reduced, but is wholly in the in- terest of the manufacturer and importer; how very Little the tariff affects the prices of manufactured articles in common use, and the benefit directly the farmers of the coun- try derive from a protective tariff. He showed further the indirect injury resulting to farm- ers from the closing up of manufacturing in- dustries and driving to the cultivation of the soil 50 many thousands of laborers now eu- gaged in the factories. Mr. Dorsey closed by saying: “We all agree upon these propositions, namely: That the surplus should be rediuced and our revenue laws revised, but that_these ques- tions should be dealt with in a_business like manner and that those things should be done which are for the best interest of the coun- try; that we should be guided by the experi- ence of the past which has so plainly marked out our course, turing from the seductive 1gs of the therists and following the : and_successful busi- In my judgment it t to at once expend advic ness man of the cognti is the duty of the preside the surpius now in tne treasury by purchas- ing and retiring our bonds, Then congress should authorize the. disbursement of the £100,000,000 of gold Row in the treasury, held for the redemption of the legal tender notes, By using the surplus and the £100,000,000 of gold, we could Bay off 200,000,000 of our ' obligations, ‘To prevent such ac- cumulations in the future we should have a fair, just and oquitable revision of our revenue laws, which should be don careful investigation and paticnt hearing of all the interests affected by the proposed changes.

He wi just enough personal to make the hoosier senator flinch and squirm under the lash, so that when he rose to reply to the senator from Kansas he completely lost his balance and opened up a personal tirade, which licensed Mr. Ingalls to do the exact thing he desired, Mr, Voorhees, in an_abugive way, charged Ingalls with unfounded and malicious assertions, and declared that the truth was not in him to the charge that he was a mem- ber of the Knights of the Golden Circle, and had conspired to not only assist_the south in rebellion but to prostrate the federal orga- nization in the north. Mr. Voorhees repeated time and again that he had gone before the people of Indiana_in elections, when these same things had been charged against him, and had every time come out vindicated. He kept ringing the charges on having voted pensions for soldiers and with having been the soldier’s friend, When Mr. Ingalls arose to reply tothe passionate and hasty personal wssault of Mr. Voorhees, it was observed that the latter instantly became extremely nervous. It dawned upon him at that moment that he had made a fatal error and that his political doom was about to be sealed, for he saw the senator from Kansas take from his desk a large envelope, out of which he drew official documents, manuscripts and records. These were all facts which Mr. Ingalls had held in reserve like a cannon loaded with broken glus, rusty nails and slugs, and when he egan his fusillade it was a pity to behold, He first drew an autograph letter upon Voor- hees, in which the latter in rec- ommending @ friend for an appointment to a brigadier generalship in the confederate army, expressed his full sympa- thy with secession and the war of the south, Following this, Mr. Ingalls for three-quarters of an hour produced unanswerable proof of ‘Voorhees' connection with the Knights of the Golden Circle, the Sons of Laberty, and the leading traitors of the north, and showed that in his law office were stored rituals of the Knights of the Golden Circle, corre- spondence with the leading officers of that organization in the country, its_conspirators in Canada and the political night riders of the period. Voorhees' anger was unbounded. He grew pale, his voico trembled, and he shouted across the chamber epithets and such words as “Liar,” “False,” Base,” ‘“Unfounded,” till Senators Beck, Cockrell, Butler and others about him moved up and begged him to desist. The scene at this time exceeded description. The overflown galleries broke into uproarjous applause at intervals, when the chair threatened to have all arrested who did not keep quiet, and then the immense audience lapsed into a quietude so perfect that one could hear himself breathe; a mo- ment more and the audience would lose its presence of mind and everything would be confusion again over some scoring remark from the Kansas senator. Finally the climax was capped by Mr. In- galls when he retorted to an insolent remark from Voorhees by saying: ‘Did not the soldiers of Indiana threaten to hang you on a train with the bell rope between Terre Haute and Greencastle?” . Quick as a flash Voorhees sprang to his feet and in the most dramatic manner rushed forward, pointing his finger directly at Rep- resentative Johnson of Indiana, who sat im- mediately behind Senator Ingalls, and ex- clammed: “I hurl back in the teeth of the scoundrel, villain and dirty dog who sits be- hind you the lics he has put in your mouth.” Instead of applause there were hisses from the galleries which swelled into a storm. TFurther on, in trying to explain the evidence produced by Mr. Ingalls of the connection of Voorhees with the Knights of the Golden Circle and the plots in Indiana to destroy the organization, the_latter said that they were the result of a political job put up on him by his enemies, at which explanation there were joers and hisses. Every effort to explain by the senator from {:gimm was nhmisurnhlfl Aamoun MM{ ort of an 2o} , which made his colleagues hang their heads in shame. “After the disgusting interruptions had pro- gressed for some time, Senator Ingalls, turn- ing to the senator from Indiana, exclaimed: ‘*If this was a police court the gentleman f rom Indiana would be sentenced to the rock pile for being drunk and disorderly.” The remark created a sensation and directed every eye towards the senator at whi it was made. The result of the serutiny was not inclined to leave an impres- sion in the minds of those present compli- mentary to Mr, Voorhees. There were many who said that he was laboring under some- thing more than the excitement of the hour. 1f Senator Voorhees has any aspirations to the presidential or vice presidential nomina- tion, or any ambition to further political honors, he may as well banish them from his mind after the proceedings of to-day. He made a pitiable spectacle of himself, while the senator from Kansas disclosed a record of the senator from Indiana which makes him vulnerable and open to any kind of political attacks.

Royalty and People Admire the Ger- man-American. | Copyright 1888 by James Gordon Bennett.] Beruiy, May 1.—[New York Herald Cable—Special to the Bee.]—Carl Schurz and Henry Villard are having a grand time —feted, lunched and dined daily, and the choicest vintages of Rhineland are placed at their disposal everywhere. Schurz, by pre- vious appointment, called upon Bismarck to-day at 1 o’clock and had a pleasant chat with him, which was interrupted aftera half hour’s duration by the chancellors being summoned to the emperor. Bismarck, notwithstanding the rain, drove from Wilhelmstrasse to Charlottenburg in an open victoria. I have never scen Bismarck look better than to-day—hale, handsome, hearty and as straight as a ramrod. Saturday Schurz leaves Berlin to spend some months at Kiel. Saturday’s dinner by Professor Gheist, the kron prinzs mentor, continues to attract much attention because of its semi-official character and the warmth of feeling shown by all present toward the Americans. Count Herbert, who has just refused the title of Prince Geehmrath, Rot- tenburg, the chancellor’s confidential se tory, Count Arco, the new American mi ter, together with representatives of most of Germany’s political parties, all expressed cordially their admiration for America and Americans, and were answered equally cor- dially by Schurz, Villard, Coleman Crosby of the legation, and Consul General Reene. The public reception which has been offered Schurz will be early in June if he 1inds it possible to return to Berlin then. I saw Villard today. He says he finds much confidence in American securities over prospects of good times, as all the disturbing clements scem to have been already dis- counted. Speaking of the crown prince he said he thought his_ability and conservatism was not appreciated outside of Germany. A Ducl Ends Without Death.

The Mystery Still Unsolved. Cororano Serixas, Colo., May 1.—[Special Telegram to the Bee.]—The coroner this af ternoon empanelled a jury at Manitou to hold an inquest over the remains of Mrs. Kearn: and her seven-year-old grandson, Jean Hand, The only witness that testified was Miss Nele lie Ellsworth, the youngest daughter of Mre. Kearney and the aunt of Jean Hand., Her testimony did not elicit anything additional to that already reported. She states that hes aunt had no money or valuables about the house and that she did not believe the deed was committed for robbery. The jury did not go into anything of a family nature and® the inquest was only held to determine the exact cause of death. The session was of short duration and the jury returned a ver- dict to the effect that thefdeceased camo to their death from the blows of a hatchet in the hands of a party or parties unknown. ot An effort is being made to induce the county officials to offer a reward for the perpetrators of theawfuldeed. Who committed the crime is the mystery which now confronts the offi- cials. Were these defenseless people murdered: for their money orowas there osome over- powering motive which induced the mur- derer 0 commit the butchery? If money merely was the object, why was the killed first? The house had the appearand of having been ransacked, but it is thou, that the old lady had but little money or valuables in the house. Vague hiuts are thrown out that the motive for the crimd may be found in the family itself. Between - the Hands and Kearneys there has alway$ been a bitter feud, which was the outgrowtlf of a sudden death under suspicious circums stances in this city seven years ago. It ia stated that the boy would have come into & fortune on reaching his majority. 1t is tainly one of the most peculiar crimes committed in Colorado, and brings to light many things almost forgotten in connection ‘with these people. The father of the murdered boy died i this city some years ago, suddenly from overdose of morphine, although it was bes lieved by many that he committed suicide, and even darker suspicions were entertained. His wife was a most beautiful woman, and i to-day studying to appearon the omnlé% stage in New York. Fred Hand’s fath was immensely wealthy, and from the day of his son’s death untii his own, which occurre about two years ago, there existed a fou between the Hand and Kearney families,s ‘When the old man Hand died he left a great {mn of his fortune to the murdered boy, but oft it in care of a Philadelphia trust com- pany, and only a small allowance has been given Mrs. Kearney annually for the sup- port of the child. Now it appears that' at the time of the murder there was a third: party in the house with her and the boy. ‘That this person, whoever and whatever he was, commutted the crime there can be no doubt. Who was he is the question. There were three plates on the table and their nec- ssary accompaniments, and whoever t] murderer is was the visitor for whom ti third plate was set. All appearances indicate that this visitor went to the house for the purpose of mur- der; that he first struck the boy a blow on the head with a hatchet in the house. s, Kearney rushed to the assistunce of the boy, Wwho had gone struggling out of the door, and as she went out pulled the door toand it locked itself on the inside by a spring lock. She then rushed for safety to the stable and the murderer made an exit from the house by means of a window and arrived at the stable. There is every indication fo sho that Mrs, Kearney closed the door and had time to drive a nail on the inside to hold jt before the murderer got there and that in' spite of the nail and her own efforts to hold the door the villain pushed it open and brained her i the corner where he had crowded her, and that he then returned to the house Where the boy had fallen unconscious at_the door, and if not dead dispatched him, carried’ him to the the stable and threw him into the box as he was found. The fact is evident that the vis- itor was a friend of the family or some one who could claim some intimacy with him. 1t is said that the fortune left the boy is nearly one million doliars, and that there are parties who would be interested in his death 10 the amount of two-thirds of that sum.
