Congressman Connell Recelves Con- gratulations—Appropriation for Land surveys—Miscellane- ous Gossip, Wasniseros Bureav Tas Ovarna Ber, 513 FouRTERNTI STREET, WasmNaroy, D. C., August 28, There was warm blood in the house again today. Itwas not as exciting as it was yes- terday, yet for a time very interestiug. difficulty was simply an echo of the series of wordy collisions yesterday, a kind of after- math, which was probably necessury before the dead calm of a dull season could be reached after the high' pitch of nervous ex- citement which characterized the pro- dings of twenty-four hours before. The trouble was precipitatel by some cutti sinuations by various members on both sides of the hall in making statements under a question of personal privilege. It was started by Mr. Mason of Chicago, who led the fighting agaiust the lard bill. Imme- diately after the latter was finally adopted, about 1 o'clock this afternoon, Mr. Mason stated that he had no apologies to make for his action yesterday in leaving tho hall of the house a number of times in order to b 4 quorumn. He would not have resorted to such measures to defeat the bill had it mot been that tho propeity of his constituents was to be confis- cated and ruined without atrial by jury or otherwise, He said he premeditatedly ¢ peared from the vision of the speaker to brealea quoram, and that he would do it again repeatedly under the same conditions, He thought theinterests of his coustituents justified the meauns, He brought laughter Trom the democratic side by saying that the iron rules of the republicans proved bitter medicine, when applied to themselves, but that since he had been compelled t tike it _he _had no complaint to wake. Mr. Muson then declared the bill which has just passed, levying a tax upon compound lard, had been rushed through the committee on agriculture with- out an opportunity having been afforded him or other persons interested in it to be heard. Tmi bill passed was not the Conger bill, ho said. This brought Chairman Funston fo his fe and the six-foot-four of Kansas flesh fairl quivered with passion as he exclaimed in thunder tones: *“If the gentleman says he was not given a chance to be heard on the lard bill he utters a falsehood.’ Ome could have heard the exclamation ulmost overin the senateend of the capitol, and it ought half of the members and nearly one in the galleries to their feet. In an nt there wus a great furore. Mr, ‘headle of Indiana jumped up and demanded that the words of Mr. I"unston be taken down and reported to the house, i corous and nnparliamentary. the proceedings of the pust twenty. were disgraceful ; that there must be on end to such scenes, and the sooner the end was reached the better it would be for the house. Within two minutes about a dozen mem- bers on eivher side were clamoring for recog- nition from the chair, and the din was al- most deafening, The speaker was unable to ataln order. When finall iot was re- S e st overy tall, slende. democrat of excitable inclina- tions, got up and demanded that the request of Mr. Cheadle be enforced and thatthe words of the Kansas member be taken down, ‘‘l demand,” exclsimed Mr. Enloe, sawing the aiv with his arms, “that the words be taken down,” and he emphasized his rema with stentorian tones. Like a flash Mr. Funston came to his feet, and point- ing his long arm in the direction of the Ten- nesseean, exclaimed: ‘I am glad to have my words taken down and it the gentleman from Tennessee does not sit down I will tuke him down, too.”” This made a pretty kettleof Everythi vas in an uproar, The speaker for several minutes stood on Hie Rt Rn pounded vigorously with his gavel, exclaiming in loud tones that there would be mo proceedings tillthe house was 1 order, Mr, Mason had meanwhile taken his seat, and when order was again restored he again claimed the floor, but Mr. Funston conténded that the gentleman from Chicago had yielded the floor and he would not permit him to speak unless he (Mr. Funston) was allowed to make an _explanation. There was finally a compromise, by which the words of Mr, Funston were taken down and read, and were allowed to stand without criticism, after which he made an explanation, but the explanation proved to be mo more satis- factory than bis fivst assertion, for he ex- Luined that be did not intend to say that Mr. \Lason had uttered a falsehood unless he held that be had mot been given a chance to be Leard in the committeo onagriculture. 1 prefuced my assertion,” “exclained Mr, Funston, *with the preposition " over which the house roared with laughter and for awhile good humor prevailed. Mr. Masom and others implored the demo- cratic side to cease time killing, as the min- utes which were belug wasted’ came out of the time which had been set aside for the labor bill. This measare was then takenup and the house resumed its former dullness.

A Beautiful Girl and Her Companions Killed by Siberdsn Guards. oW YoRi, August 3. —[Special Telegram to Tue Bee.]—A Russiam, Alexander Kwiat- Kkowski, arrived here on Monday and brought withhim the first accomnt of the horrible Tiumen tragedy, which occurred several weeks ago. He had gained his news almost at first hand from a relative of one of the victims, a beautiful young gixl, the Princess Elenc Oginski, eighteen years of age. From Prince Adam Oginski M. Kwiatlkowski learned the following details : The story begins with exiles,a hundred in number, who left Ekiternburg about the end of May. They had been transported with a steamer load of exiles, political and criminal, from Novgored to Perm, fliving in iron cages on the deqlf, and were then sent by railroad across the mountains twelve hours jovrney to Ekatermburg, where the real horrors of the Siberian journey began, From that point the exiles had togo on foot all the way to Tiumen, & distance of neaily fivehundred miles, whem a cage steamer would be in readiness m transport them via the Jenisei and the Obi to Tomsls, where an- other thousand miles w Tave o bo trod- den by the weary esgiios undl’ Trkutsk was: reached. The beat during the day was fntense, and for fifteen days the exiles were compelled to walk under the burning sun._along roads half a foot d«}: indust. From letters received by Prince Adam thesufferings of the frail, beau- tiful Princess Elena were intense, arousing even the sy mpnlhg of the Cossack guards at times. She was the youngest of the group of exiles, but much as she suffered herself she was never heard to_complain, Al her com pavions were in a similar pitiable condition of exhavstion from the dreary journey. Their feet were swollen to sach an extent that some of themsat down by the roadside and de- clared it was utterly impossible for them to move another step, and asked permission to ride 1n the wagons that always accompany an escort of exiles for the purpdse of transport- ing thesick and the women unable to walk. They appealed to the guard in vain, however, foras auswer they werd cruelly beaten by tbesoldiers with the stocks of their guns and orfered to got up nd marct on. But at last, when withinonly a few sta- tions of Tiumen,a small bandof exiles, driven to desperation, turied fercely upon their guard and began to fight for tieir freedom. But it was a very unequal fight, for the sol- diers, who made ‘the jourmey with loaded rifles, immediately bezanBring on the crowd. The result was horrifying. The first v tim was the beautiful yoyng princess herself, Her heud was pierced by bullet und she fell dead without uttering word, Still the sol- dicrs kept up the l\rmf. and out of the small band of a hundred politioal exiles who left Ekatermburg twenty were shot dead and twelve were wounded nearly all the ex- iles in the group participibed in the ‘“rebel- lion'? to & greater orless degree, it is feared that the remainder will be severely punished if not hanged. } The case of the Princess Oginski has been followed with decp interést in the Russian colonies in Geneva, Pariy, Tondon and here. She belonged toan old aid honorable family, several members of which spend the winter season in St. Petersburg. How she came inte trouble originally is not dearly known, She wis probably connected in some way with so- cieties in St. Pelcmmn'f for the bringing about of political reform - e—— Colorado Irrigating itches.
