Less Than Twenty Members on Floor ¥ esterday. Wasnisaron, June 18— |Special Telegramn to Tue Bee.|—It is improbuble that the senate ever dragged through aday's proceed- ings with n smaller numbsr of senators par- ticipating. Less than twenty senators wers on the floor during the entire day, and thoso who were present were less interested in tho work progressing before them than io the political matters provesding at Chlicayo During the reading of the fournal Edmunds and F'rye sat with thelr heads together talk- ing earnestly, whilo Hawley and Mor- rell were hobnobbing, Paddocs and Dolph were alone writing av their desks. Sherman sat by limself without a senator within twonty fect of him. He read a nowspaper for some tiwe, when Davis of Minnesota, came over. He then dropuod'um paper and put his hcad down close 0 the western statesman and they talked in loud tones for some time.

Altogether there were just eighteen senators present, not including Mr. Ingalls, who sat in the chair and calied the routine orders with monotonous accents and visible unconcern. In the house it was little better. Very foon after the work began a vote was demanded upon @ proposition which brought into vote every member that could be found in the capitol. All told there were just seventy-cight. As the proccedings pro- gressed that number diminished. At 2 o'clock a vote was taken, showing present thirty republicins and twenty-six democrats, a total of fifty-six.

WILL DEMAND AN EXAMINATION, Mrs. Brown Makes a Statement Giv- ing Some Family History and Tells of Her Suspicions of Mr. Brown. Still a Mystery. Masox Ciry, Ia,, June 15.—[Special Tele- gram to Ture Bes.| —H. E. Brown, who was suspected by the coroner's jury s boing the one guilty of poisonitig the Brown family, has engaged council and will demand that the jury make a' thorough examination. There has been quite a revolt in public senti- ment within the last fow days, many now believing that the testimony given by Mrs, Brown was only to hide her own guilt, Some corry their suspicions still further, be- Heivng that the whole affair was a put up job between Mrs. Brown and the hired man, Carl Peterson, to get rid of Mr. Brown, Mrs, Brown makes the following state- ment: I know of no enemy we have, I have no suspicion of any one outside of the family. T have sevoral ‘reasons for suspic- joning Mr. Brown. One is financial difficul- ties, anothor a naturally sensative and sus- picious disposition. The third is there had heen soveral veiled as well as a few direct toreats made by him. On tho2d day of March, Henry, my boy, fell through the ice. He and Carl went down to the creck to help him out. I remained at the house to have a good fire and dry clothes ready to change when they got back. When they got to the nouse Hiram said he hoped to God I'd get into the creek and he'd never lift a finger to help me out. I replied, ‘you need not worry, If Iever got into the creck I shall not ask you to help me.” He said that if Iaid get in he would not lift a inger or foot to assist me. On Wednesday of the same week he, Brown, having expressed a wish that I see J. R. Carr and ask him some questions concerning the schiool election, I went to the house without (ullms the family where I was going, but ex- pected to return by 7or 8o'clock p. m. He was expected home by 9 or 10 p. m. It becoming very dark and rainy, 1 waied for . a prospective rille home. He arived at _home and imwediately came after ne. He showed no violent anger while av Mr, Carr's house, but immediately op com- ing out doors began'to scold, finally telling me if Tdid uot stop runuing around to the neighbor's without telling him where I was he would expose me, and if that did not stop me he would put us' both where we would trouble no one. May 4 H. E. Brown asked me to mortgage my cighty acres of land to raise money to pay his debts, due and past due. I positively refused to encumber my and. After we haa returned home he gave me con: able abuse because I would not comply with his wislics. After going to bed lie became somewhat angry because | per- sistently refused, and he said he wished we were all dead and he was geing to get up and kil himself. He got up. He wanted me to come into the room, as he wished to ask mc a question and did not wish anyone to . I refused to get up. He went to the kitchen and loaded his gun, came back 0 the bedroom and again asked me to get up. 1 told him I did not want to. He stood a few minutes, then blew out the light and-weut to bed. Rough ris green were in the house. aging my dress and getting ready to prepare supper on the 7th ot March 1 saw Hiram shut the cupboard door as 1 came from the bedroom, but saw nothing in his band. About ten days ago 1 heard Hiram maice the remark that he missed Jesse, but as far as his father was concerned he was perfectly well satistied, Last Sunday night, before we knew the report of the chenist, Hiram remarked that he knew it was poison before the doctor got there; and he knew it wus in the water pail. 1replied: ‘If you kuew it was there you must know how it got there.! He replied in substance: ‘No dount you would like to fasten in onto mo.* I haven’t felt myself safe for some tin My children are all that bave kept me with lim for three years.” Carl Peterson, the hired man, says in ref- ercnce to the words used by Mr. Brown at the time Henry fell into the water, that at the time he wrote the exact language in his account book. Hiram said. “‘What is the renson you did notcome down ¢ If it had peen you 1 would not have stirred one step to keep you out. 1 hope to Gmll)'uu avill get into the creck some tine, If I got after you, you would never get out.” Mrs. Brown at one time, while she was visiting with Mrs. Frank Fishe id in an. swer to the question, “‘are you sick?” that she wasn't reflly sick, but had nothing to live for, Sh t silently a while knitting, then again said: “DIl fnish another pair, then sowme oue else can do the rest” s Nebraska at d Ioaa Pension WasHINGTON, June 13.—([Special ele- gram to Tng Bee]—Original invalid— Oscar Hamilton, Armada; Paul Strom, Or- leuns; Kdwin Hughes, St Paul; Anthony Kramer, Bassett; William W.

Whether the story adequately fulfils the condi- tions for a wholesome living may per- haps be_questioned, since nothing is provided for the *wear and tear” i ove household, but is useful as an lustration of economy.

Black rocks, huge in théir proportions, lie in de- tuched masses on the sides of the crater, showing what a mighty power must have been exerted when the flames is- sued from the heart of the mountain. Altogether it is an immense affair, and well worth the visit of the student of nature. This voleano belongs essentially to the Mexican group, and was noticed many vs ago by Humboldt. The route going and returning looks across many an _acre covered with lava and blackened scorim, attésting the voleanic character of the region, though this is frequently relieved by patches of ver- dure and tracts of practical fertility along the Pinto, as if nature were de- sirous to compensate by these efforts for the barrenness which surrounds the mountain for many miles. Among the notable features of western Texas the extinet voleano is not the loast, and will attract persons who have a desire to ex- tend their knowledge as far as may be into the regions of the dim past. The mountain itself is distant twenty miles from the Avache range, and is worthy of more study than has yet been be- stowed upon it.
