J., June 3 gram to Tue Bee.]—Mrs, Cremer Ja Lockwood, charged with attempting to poison her aged husband, was given o hearing this morning. Mrs. Lockwood wus the most composed person in the room and never dis- played the least emotion or irritability. She is on the shady side of forty, is fine looking and was elegantly attived. Her husband oc- cupied a seat near by his sons, Arthur and Maurice, and son-in-law, Elliott Cogswell They all swore that he came to them and asked them to have his wife arrested as he was afraid she would kill him. Lockwood's daughter swore that when her father found the powder in his_ teacup he brought it to her and told her to have an analysis made. Doctors Bid- well and Adams, who made the analysis, swore that the powder contained enough morphine to kill a person M Creech swore that after arresting Mrs. Lockwood he searched her room and founc revolver and u dagger under the pillow of her bed; also a quantity of arsenic in the pocket of her dress, It was ed i evidence that Mrs, Lockwood threatened to shoot her hus- band the day Lefore, She is allezed to have put some morphine in his teacup, and it is Claimed that itly hier husband prevented hee from shooting his fifteen-year-old son There is cons blo feeling hiere favorablo o Mra, Lockwod® Many claiin that she is the victim of a conspiracy on the part of her lusband’s children, who want to get her out of the v Mrs. Lockwood was reealled in the afternoon for the purpose giving additional testimony Lis wife, but hie declined to say anythi judicial to Mrs. Lockwood, and created a sen- Sation and dumbfounded the lawyer for the prosecution by saying it was his childven who advised him to make the charge aguinst his wife, instead of his asking the children to wake it. The lawyer then virtuaily threw up the casé, stating that Lockwood hid been in- duced by some pressure to change his _state- ments made previous to Mrs. Lockwood's ar- rest. The justice then discharged Mys, Loc wood, when her husband ran up to embrace her, but she waived himaside, and told him that she had had enough of him and his family, and positively refused to return home with him. Lockwood then became enraged atone of Mrs. Lockwood's friends, and was about to assault her, when an officer ejected him from the court room.

D, June vecial to Tue Bee]—To the casual observer prohibition secms to be enforeed in this city. No strong drinks are sold over the various bars of the various saloons that are kept open for the sale of papers, lemonades and other swills, and if there any joints of boot-legging no one seems to know anything about them, but beer kegs and cases may be seen piled up in the express offices and the delivery wagons are duily seen—several times a day—delivering the kegs and cases in various parts of the city, and shrewd business men say that from £100 a day is sent to Sioux City for ‘les of interstate commerce, the consumption was from oar own breweries and the money paid for it w | kept at home, but now the” money goes to Sioux City and thence to Omaba, ‘St. Louis or Milwatkee never to return, while our two weries stand_closed and silent.

SEVERAL GOOD REASONS GIVEN. The Action of the Republican Caucus on the Pension Bill Considered a Set-Back for the Conference Committe Wasmxarox Buneav Tie Omana Ber, 513 FOURTEENTI STREET, Wasnixgroy, D, C., June 3, The hearing of the New York importers on the tariff bill, which was to have taken place today, was postponed until tomorrow because of the absence of Mr. Morrill and Mr. She man, but the importers are on their way hero tonight, 200 strong, and have taken all the spare rooms at the Arlington and Riggs suse. They have selected a spokesman for ach of the interests represented, and protests willbe made against an increase of duties in thepending tariff bill, 1. Upon articles which cannot be pgduced in this country 2. Upon articles which cannot be grown or this country without great and continued assistance from the govern- ment, 3. Upon articles which are exported in much greater quantities than imported. 4. Upon raw materials needed in $ur manu- factures, Also against the giving by the government of large bouaties. Estimates will be sub- mitted by experts in dress goods, men's goods and cloakings, silks and velvets, linens, col- lars and cuffs, laces und embroideries, hois- ery, upholstery, braids and braid yarns, but- tous, corsets, wool, china and glassware, eye glasses and spectacl grocers' supplies, cigars, photograj supplics, dentinegee- ment, bricks, hops, foreign fruit and window giass, showing how unfairly these interests treated in the bill. The importers will ask that in order to allay apprehension and restore confidence that the committee sdall decide and announce at once that a rebate would be granted on all goods in stock and in bond at the time of the pass- age of the bill. Under the present situation merchants will not purchase goods that will be affected by the tarff and will make no contracts for future delivery until they know what the duty will be. The unsettled condi- tion of affai s distressing and is embarrass- ing every line of trade and manufacture, and some manufacturersave suffering large losses. Phe committee on finance, in its considera tion of the tariff bill has jumped the sugar dule as it has all others upon which th 1y decided controversy and will leave them until the undisputed portion of the measure has been reviewed, A DECIDED SET-BACK. The action of the republican caucus last night on the pension bill was a decided set- 'k for the conference committee, and as a result its meeting this morning was short and sweet, and it afterward reported that its negotiations had failed, The committee had formally decided upon the terms of the com promise measure, which was to be formu- lated and accepted by both sides at the ses sion this morning. There was no intention on the part of Mr. Morrill, the chairman of the house commitece, to refer the ques- tion to the decision of the aucus, but he intended to sign the conferen report and then try to get it through the house, but certain gentlemen who are in favor of me radical legislation than Mr, Morrill considers judicious at this session of congress decided to force the committee buck into the position which had originally been taken by the house, and so they sceured a de- ree of the caucus requiring the con on the part of the house bill to stick to the meas- ure that passed that body and forbade them to make any concessions” to the senate. This defers ftinal action on the bill indefinitely, for the senate will not ugree to a service bill at this session and would rather have no legisla- tion atall, As Mr. Davis, the chairman of the committee said today, every proposition contained in the house bill had been brought before the senate and had been voted down, and there were mnot half a dozen members in senate in favor of the service bill. “There is a geueral disposition,” said Mr. Dayis, *“a unanimous desire, you' might v, to tuke care of ull the disabled soldic who cannot carn theirown living, and to le the service pension_for future consideration. It is a fixed conviction with nearly cvery sen- ator that a soldier who has _become d from any cause whatever, whether in the ser- vice or since, to such a degree as to disable him from earning his support ought to be pensioned, provided he has no other income than that derived from his own labor, Bills of this kind have repcatedly passed the senate but they have not been the subject of fu consideration in the house except onc Forty-ninth congress when such a bill was pussed and vetoed Cleveland The e committec und the senators unani- mously agree that the needs of disabled and dependent soldiers should bo p d for the most liberal manner possible at once, but that the service pension bill can be poucd. A service pension to the surviv the revolutionary war wus not grauted until sixty-three years after the war, to the sur- vivors of the war of 1512 until fifty years after, and to the survivors of the Mexican war until forty years after, aud the commit- tee dud not belicve that there should be a service pension for the survivors of the war of the rebellion until at least thirty-five years had pired.” Mr. Davis, says too, that there {s no time at this session to give a service pension bill proper attention, “Itis a meas- ure which will require the most. careful con sidevation to the end that justice may be done both to the soldier and the couutry. This consideration will necessarily involve the time when such relicf should” be extended, the amount thercof, ways and means by which the expenditure is ‘to be borne, and above all, whethér it can be granted with a due regard to the rights of those pensionable by reason of disability incurred since the ex- piration of their term of service. Much em barrassment has resulted and must result from un attempt to combiue weasuves of this character.” The senate committee believes, too that the service feature of the house bill will not give satisfaction to the soldiers_because it is pref erential and invidious, It places the man who served ninety days on the same footing with bim who Served four years. It com. pels the youth who enlisted at eighteen and who was dischavged a veteran at twenty three, who thereby lost his chance of educi tion and who is now forty-eigat years old, wait twelve years before his clatim for recog nition will bé entertained. It is well known that thoe enli during the first two oars 0f the Wi were Trom among the youtt of the « hat thereafter the imper necessity of disaster and of the excrtion of the full military force of the nation, the older men went, generally as vol teers, semctimes as substitutes and many under compulsion as drafted men, into the service. Those wen served for much short periods than _their who were vet erans when they joined them! It is the opin fon of the ittee whenever it is deemed wise to ina asystem of seryice liy diers who oly dischar and it is urged with gre @ that the | sion should be graded in proportion t of seryice On the e argues that wh were also hy len, hand, the b e it is true that sions were not granted to the survivors of former wars il & loug period of time bad elapscd, yetthe fact remains that the very priuciple upon which & service 1se committee service pen- ex- | to | under | $1.0 4 nsion at the age of sIxty-two years is based | s that at that age the soldier is presumed to | boe past the age of labor and unable longer to engage in the active duties of life and on that account needs the aid of thegovernment that he fought to defend and_mafutain, If this theory be accepted for the e basis of a ser vice pension, l‘u'u the question of the length of time which has elapsed after the close of the wir does not materinlly enter in the con- sideration of the question.” A law should be put on the statute book$ as soon after the close of the war as any of the soldiers have required age. If it is urged that a longer time should bo permitted to pass so that the number of the survivors may be the less and the cost to the government thereby lessened the committee would reply that such & proposition is utterly unworthy of consideration by the representa- tives of a great government.” It is very prob- able that the house will have to give way to the senate in this matter, and that the senate bill will finally be agreed to without a fight. PADDOCK'S ADULTERATION BILL, By a vote of six to three Scuator Paddock’s committee today instructed him to make a fayorable report upon his bill “To prevent poisonous adulteration’ and for other pur- poses, It provides that the secretary of culture shall organize in his department a food division and make ruies and provisions for its government; that the introduction into any state or territory or foreign country of any article of food or drugs adulterated in such a manner as to be deliterious to health shall be punishable by fine and imprison- ment; that this division in the agricultural department shall make ~examinations of specimens of food and drugs which may be collected from time to time aud publish in_bulletins the result of such analysis, but the names of manufacturers or venders of such food or drugs analyzed shall in no case be published in sach bullétins until after conviction in_the couts of violation of this act.

Citicaco, 11, June 8.—[Special Telc Tur Bee.]—A committee was appointed to day by the general passenger agents to sclect a chairman for tho western states passenger assocfation. The membership of the com- mittee is as follows: Assistant General Manager Tucker of the St. Paul, General Manager Chappell of the Alton, Vico Prosi- dent Newman of the Northwostern, Vico President Harrls of the Burlington, General Managor St. John of the Rock Island, General Manager Hayes of the Waba Four of the six members have already ex- pressed a wish that ex-Vice President God- d of the Achison accept the office, and it altogether likely ho will be the unanimous choice of the committee if he will accept, Mr. Goddard nimself will say nothing on the sub- ct. _This has led the committee to hope he Would accept. - When the committee formally announces its choice it is understood the gen- eral passenger agents will acquiesce unani- mously. The committee also undertukes the duty of securing now signatures to the agree- ment, and if possiblo of inducing every line, great and small, in the old western states and present trans-Missouri territory, to join. The re-organization mceting will be eatled us soon as the committee is ready to report. One of the greatest surprises of the yes railroad cireles was the appointment today A J. Barliy roneral manager of the Paui road. Mr. Earling has wmade a wide reputation as_general superintendent, a po- sition he has held on the St. Paul for years. The appointment does uot change the duties of any of the present ofticers, as Mr. Eavling will be as heretofore entirely in the operating department, His position exuctly corres- ponds to that of General Manager Whitman, of the Northwestern. Assistant General Superintendent W. G. Collins has been promoted to the office of general supevintendent. Chairman Midgley, chairman of the south- western division of the Freight association, today made his report, 1t consists mostly of stics of trafic. The most interesiing feature is a statement_showing that the lines inhis association had not reported nearly $1,000,000 of trafiic, which the rules of the ssociation demand shall be reported to the It is supposed by the charitable that this diserepancy is due to carclessness, but the white winged competitors of the derelict voads claim all the unreported traflie repre- sents that which was manipulated, The total trafiic of the lines in Mr. Mid- ley’s association, those running between Chi- cago and Kansas Ciiy and St. Louis and Kun- sas Uit for 1889, tons as 10 tons in 1845, The revenue $11.201,605 in 1850 against 58,147 in 158, The a rnings per ton, excluding lumber, wi 50 west-bound £3.28 east-bound, an increase of 46 cents rest-bound and 8 cents cast-hound.
