Nov. MansmaLrrowy, Ia., 10, [Spectal Telegram to Tur Bek "he farm house of Marcena Stone, four miles from this city, ‘was the scene of a bloody tragedy this morn- ing that has caused great excitement. At an early hour, Stone and a hired man named ¥, L. Pelbeam returned to the house from chorework at the barn and sat down to await breakfast. Stone was soon absorbed in a newspaper, when Pelbeam drew a small Latchet from under his coat and suddenly assaulted Stone, felling him to the floor, He was hacking at his head when Mrs. Stone came, and Pelbeam turned upon her, striking at her viciously and cutting her head as she warded off the blows. Stone had partially recovered by this time and grabbed the throat of the assailantand a terrible struggle ensued, Stone maintaining his erip until both got out of the house and fell off the porch Htone held on till 10ss of blood and weakness caused him to relax, when Pelbeam jumped up and got away. The outeries of Stone and his two children roused the neighbors, who pursued the assailant with guns and soon captured and lodged him in jail here, but not until Pelbeam had attempted suicide by nearly severing his widepipe with a dull knife. Mr. Stone was struck on the head seven times, and his wife five times, with the hatchet, which was small and dull, and though the wounds of both are dangerous they are not necessavily fatal, No cause for the attack except insanity is known, as they were on good terms.

New Onreaxs, La., Nov. 16.—Siguor Pas- quale Corte, the Italian consul in this city, has addressed a communication to the grand Jury now Investigating the murder of Chief of Police Hennessy protesting against the ill- treatment of the Italian prisoncrs confined in the parish prison, Signor Corte was ques- tioned today about the contents of his letter to the grand jury. He said that some timo ago he wrote to Mayor Shakes- pears complaining of the ill-treatment of the Italian prisoner: in tho parish prison and received a reply that his complaints were unfounded. A few days ago the consul vis fted the prison and was astonished by se! eral of the prisoners showing marks of vio- lence upon their bodies. He said the men were terribly bruised and many of them claimed to have been robbed of therings wdrn on their fingers and of other valuables, It was on this testimony that Sig. Corte informed the grand jury of the status of things and called attention to the tr isting between Italy and the United States, wwhereby the Italian prisoners are entitled to the same treatment as those of other nation- alities. The sheriff is very much chagrined at the matter becoming published, he having issued an order some weeks ago' excluding newspaver reporters from the building and forbidding the Italians from communicating with their friends on the outside. et BIG BOODLE.

Smith ackuowledged his guilt and turned over all his property for the benefit of cred- itors.

The Face of the Man from Maine Loumirx Up Through the Mists ~—The Ohineso Will Be Watched, 513 FoURTEENTI STHERT, Wasmiseroy, D. €, Nov. 16 For some reason, probably the disappoint- ment growing out of the recent election, an impression prevals among politicians in Washington that President Harrison is con- templating an early aunouncement that ho will not be a candidate for renomination. The president has given no indicatien to any one, not even to his most intimate friends, a8 to what he intends to do in regard te the submission of his name for a renomination, and the belief prevails among those imme- diately around him that he intends to take no direct step toward furthering his own political interests, but will do the best he can as a president for the people and trust to the tides of public opinian as they may form at the time a nomination is to be made. In other words, the president believes that if his administration has proven satis- factory to his party it will bring about his renomination without any effort of his o wn. The prominence of Mr, Blaine, as a politician and as a moving spirit in the present admin- istration, is beginning to grow and is develop- ing as rapidly as tho belief that General Harrison will announce himself out of the field for a renomination. There can scarcely be found a politician in Washington, in any part, not_even ' excepting the most ardent friend of the present administration, but that contributes tho unsolicited belief that the secretary of state will be as prominent if not more cons: ous in the convention of 1802, than he was in 1858, notwithstanding the fact that he has not done and is not doiug any more to promote his own prominenge thun be did two or three years ago, AFTER THE CHINESE, The congressional committee appointed to investigate the condition of foreign immi- grants in the United States consisting of Congressman Owen of Indiana, chairman; Congressmen Stump, Leblbach and Senator Squire, left here today enroute to Spokane ¥ where their investigations begin. ct_of this investigation,” said Charrman Owen, *is to coliect evidence ‘b may warrant the reporting of an ex- clusion bill, having for its object the elimina- tion ofall for elements which tend to in- jure the int of honest labor and the country at lai They are to veport the fucts as to the extent to which foreign pau- per convicts and other objectionable emi- grants are allowed to enter the border The Chinese will be the first objeet of inves- tigation, Wasmxorox Bureiv Tre Owana Brn, } HE WILL TE MISSED, The unseemly and indelicate scFafible on the part of rebublicon senators for the chair v occupied by Senator Ingalls, upon the umption thathis ve-clectionis not ussured, hias caused a good deal of comment, in Wash= ington upon ‘the probability of the senator succeeding himself. Surely no republican would be so greatly missed” in the senate as the gentleman fromi Kansas, not even except- ing *‘Honest John" Sherman or the venerable and able_ Edmunds of Vermontor Mr. Alli- son of Towa, as woild bo Senavor Ingalls. The Kansas statesman is always reserved for emergencies vin debate andgencral scalping work in_all kinds of political action on the floor of the senate orin the causus. He is beyond all question, the ablest debater in congress, and probably the strongest repub- lican orator that can be placed upon the stump and among his colleagues and in administration circles it is not believed that s services and worth could be so greatly nn- appreciated in his _own state as to leave his siion in doubt. The senaters who have telegraphed to be recorded as d g his chair in the event of his_ failure of re-clection have been answered by the officers of the sen- ate that no one here believes Senator Ingalls will not be re-elected. FIGURING AND DICKERING. “Figuring and dickering on both sides,” says Colonel William R. Morrison, interstato commerce commissioner, ‘will be ‘the order from this time until the Illi- nos legislature meets in January, 1501, and somebody's calculations may receive an upset. One thing is certain that, save for his tarift record, General Palmer will not prove entirely ' acceptable to the three legislators, outside the breastworks, who are holding the balance_of power in the pending senatorial contest. Undoubtedly an attempt will be made to trade the speaker- ship for a United States senatorship as was done in the case of Paine’s and there may be a similar outcome to such a transaction as that which resulted in- sending Senator Far- well to Waskington, It is incumbent upon him to obtain all three votes of the legisiat- ors who do not train with his party, whereas the best two out of three will do for General Palmer. Al the democratic members of the 1llinois legislature are pledged to General Palmer, having been committed to his cause in the nominating conventions and the same is true in the caso of Senafor Palmer so that for the time being there 18 a likelihood-of but two names being placed before the legislature to compote for the United States senatorial prize. There is an anomalous condition of affairs in politics when three men are so situated that the; can control a couple of hundred, and yet such is the exact situation in Iliinois today. What the Gutcome will be, is a matter of the merest conjectnr, but one thing is certain, there are lively times ahead at Springfeld. Such a contingency may arise as that which wrecked my prospects to the time when the legislature was tied between the two great parties, hundred and two men being on_each Side. Death came to the assistance of the repub- lican party by removing a democratic legis- lator, and’a member of the opposite political faith was chosed as his successor, UE PREDICTS HARMONY. Congressman Springer, of Illinois, who is in the city, isout in_an interview today in which he says that Mr. Cleveland will be the nominee of ihe democracy in 1892, and that there will be harmony within the ranks of the party in New York state. Mr. Spr.nger believes that Governor Palmer will succeed Senator Farwell and predicts that_the reap- portionment bill, which will be adopted this winter, will not increase the present mem- bership of the house, as the ratio of represen- tatiop will be increased.in proportion to the growsh of populatson, THEIR LITTLE DODGE, A number of democratic congressman in the city, notably Mr. Springer of lilinois, are try- ing to forestall an extra session of the Fifty- second congress by saying that the election bill will be resisted in the senate and again in the house during the coming session to an extent which will defeat necessary legisla. tion uud make an extra session necessary. This step will undoubtedly be taken with a view to forcing the president to call an extra session. The democrats know us well as re- ublicans that extra sessions of congress and ogislatures are generally disastrous to the executive copvening them, as in the instance of the recent special session of the Ohio le; luture, which is proving the unfortunate uct of Governor Campbeli's earsey. It may be said upon as good eutlority as it is possible to secure and with =4 much certainty as life furnishes that there will be no extra session of the Fifty-sccona congress, unless thereis some unfciseen commercial or other calamity. No or!lhnrt demand for legislation or emerg- ency, like the failure of the appropriation or other bills, which may be resented, will in- duce Presldent Harrison to cojvene'an extra session, HE IS NOT DEAD, Ohio republicans say there is no foundation whatever for the report that Major McKinley i3 tobe sentto St Petersburg to succeed Minister Charles Emory Smith, Representa- tive Boothman says MéKinley will be Ohio’s next candidate for governor, and that, barr. ing windfalls, he will be elected. “‘Should Major McKinley be eleeted governor of Ohio next year," says Mr. Bootiman, *'I do not see how e can get out of ing' his name be- Jfore the nominating eonvention of 1802, You know he could have been nominated in 1888 had {6 not been that he flatly refased to suffer his namo to be used. McKinley is much stforiger than his party in Ohio, and made a jen whtch gives him additional strength, 1% only in the state, but throughout the country, This 18 true, not- withstanding the fact that tne adoption of the McKinley taviff bill defeated the repub- lican ticket in Ohio, The measure was mis- represented and had & Verp telling effect upon the republican candidates. I understand that President Harrlson does not intend to be a candidate for renomination and MeKinley ap- pears to bo the most available man for the nomination, unless, of course, Mr. Blaine comes to the front.” A BANKEW'E ROMAN There was quite a str in social circles at the capitol today, when the announcement was made that Elnathan P. Snyder of Wash- ington _had _ been umited in matrimony with Miss Laura Moore of the ‘Merry Monarch' company of Chicago, For several years yeung Suyder has boen connected with the National Savings bank of this city, his father being_president of the institution, which is an offshoot of Riggs & Co., banlkers, Miss Moore was @lso protty and well known here, having. mado her appearance with the American opera company under Theodore Thomas, hor most famous role being that of Amor, in heus and Eurydice. President Snyder of the savings bank has a magnificent county’ 8eat near the national capitol and is quite likely that the groom brings his bride homewith him as she will sever her connection With tho stage in defer- ence to the wishes of tho Snyder fawily, Elnathan Snyder is about twenty-six years of age, a member of ‘the leading clubs at Washington and is réceiving teller in his father's bank.

Pernry S. Hearn, - ENGLISH POLITICS. The Tories Afraid Their Pack Will Not Turn Up. Loxpoy, Nov, 16,~Mr. Balfour, having an opportune cold in the head, left Ireland a Week ago, and has since open engaged in cur- ing himself by goif-playing in England. But although absent from Dublin Castle, he has not ceased’to take a deep interest in Ire- land, as is proved by a proslamation sup- pressing the National league in Afty-four town lands in County Fermanagh, thirty threein Monaghan and two in Waterford. The proclamation of course isa mere farce and the league will pursue its business as usual, but it will please the tories in England and the landlords n Ircland. «Meanwhile ncthing is heard of tha famous railways and relief work. Lord Randolph Ghurch| Carlo aud the tory whits are beginning to fear that their political puck will not turn up n sufticient foree for the work of the parlia- mentary sessiony Wwhich will commence a woelk fro nefi%‘fday. Miuisters and fol- lowers all 0 1ittle stomach for the fight which they know to be before them. The ry spiritis depressed and the press mon- itors can give the government no more cheer- ing advice than to avoid “an_ambitious pro- gramme" in the coming session. The final attempt to infuse enthusiasm into the rank and file will be made next weel, when the annual tory caucus will be held at Liverpool, and Balfour, if his cold will permit, will tell once more the oft-told tale of the pacification of Ireland. A regiment of policemen have been en- gaged in Donegal helping the sheriffs to evic fifty wretched families on Mr. Olphert's es- tates, Since the plan of campyign has been in force on his property Olphert has been helped by the Assoclated Landlords of Ire- land, and he has enjoyed an_income almost equal to his entire rent rolls, He could, therefore have postponed the evictions until spring without subjecting himself to personal discomfiture, but such & humane course would not suit the designs of the landlords in general, and so_the evictions have pro- ceeded qriskly. Despite the fact that all the weck a tempest of wind and rain has raged in the afflicted district no mercy has been shown by the landlord’s agents. Old men, sick women and babios have been ruthlessly turned out sf the houses which their own hands built upon the land which they tgem- selves reclaimed from the wilder- ness, and they would have remained out on the wild roadside had it not been for the care of the league and the kindyess of English sympa- thizers who made their way to the remote distriot in response to the pitiful appeals re- ferred to hero last week. Thauks tothe presence of English men and women, the rutal work was carried out. with compara- tive absence of brutal violence, but there was enough brutality in the meve process of evic- tion to move the women to tears and to make the men in the strength of their indignant protests almost forget the presence of ladies. SirJohn Swinburne, M. P,, a wealthy En- glish land owner and & good home ruler and liberal, found an evicted widow, Mrs. Her- raghty, her son and daughter-in-law and cight littlo children, vaiuly seeking shelter from the poaring rain near the house from which they had been evicted, and the sight moved him to declare that if he had perpe- trated on his own estates in Epgland but one- tenth of the cruelty which he had witnessed that day, his tenants would have strung him up at his own door and the country would have said “Served him right.” ————— Eva Catherine Clapp's Sult. PuiLaverenn, Pa, Nov, 16.—-Eva Cather- ine Clapp of Athol, Mass:, who is said to be a handsome woman, thicty years of age, and an suthoress of national repute, yesterday be- gan a suit in the United Statet circuit court against her divorced husband, Tilghman H.

Demands to Be Made Upon it by the State of Nebraska. APPROPRIATIONS STILL LOOKED FOR. Varlous Buildings Under Way for Which Congross May Make Appro- priations—Two Cities Still Aske ing — Norfolk's Claims, Wasnixaroy, Nov. 16.—Special to Tne Ber,|—~The devartment officials have been making up the annual estimates upon which willbe based the congressional appropria- tions for the next fiscal year. These esti- mates are sent to congress on the opening day of the session, So far as Nebraska is con- cerned, there are no large acmands made upon the cashbox of the treasury, a thing that cannot be said of all the states. But it will be of interest to give the few that proposo improvements in the state, or rather the ap- propriations to carry them out. In the public building an appropriation of £600,000 is desired for the completion of the Omaba postoffice and court house, As is known, the limit of cost of this improvement is 1,200,000, and half of this amount hus al- ready been appropriated, For the completion of the new postoffice building at Fremont there is required 35,000, The limit of cost of this improve- ment is fixed at 0,000, While there is little in the estimates for Nebraska, as can be seen. there are other im- provements needed in the state for which congress may be induced to make appropr ations. Twa cities have a strong support for public buildings, Hastings and Norfolk. The measures making such provision for both cit- ies are in an eligible position for conside ution this winter, and good arguments will be brought. forward in their support. The friends of Hastings started in $200,000 appropriation, but the committee on blic buildings came 'to the conclusion that ,000 would be sufficient to vrovide quate quarters for the government offic Hence the fizht must be made over this lat- ter sum, The sewate hrs already passed fav orably upon the measure. Many good r sons will be urged for giving Hastings a pub- lic building, among which are the facts that it is the third city in commer- mercial importance ih the state, and the necessit of the government at this placeare increased because terms of the United States court are held there, Norfolk has aiso luckily got its measure through the seriate. The appropriation de- ired was $100,000, and the senate allowed this sum, but the house committee on publ buildings says that $75,000 is enough. Hers too, the United Stafes courts as well the postal business must be accommodated. The city, it is argued, is entitled to a government building because it is a brisk business place and is the center of a flourishing and enter- prising section ot the state.- Sidney does not want an appropriation of money so much as it wants an appropriation of land. Congress is to be nsked to pass thb necessary legislation donating to the city twenty acres of land from the Fort Sidney military reservation, which is desired for cemetery purposes. There will be ng trouble in passing this measure when reached on the calendar, as Fort Siduey hus been ordered to be abandoned. It can be seen, although Nebraska is a big state, that comparatively little is asked of the general government. Of course the p-'o‘pln of the state are inter- ested in the general legislation of congress, as like allother communities, but the aim in this article has been to give only such mat- ters as are especially designed for Nebraska. While on this subject of public buildings it may be worth while to give astatement of whiat the government has already expended for such improvements in the state. The amounts are as follows: Omaha court house and postoffice (old): Cost of site, nothing; actual cost of construc: tion of building, $35 ¢ tions and repairs,§13, %0 Nebraska City court house of site, 5,/ 715 total, $107, Lincoln court House and postofice: of site, $436.25, the site was donated, but iu- cidental expenses ave covered he amount st actual cost of construction of build- 08 cost of alterations and re- 563 total, 89, for a nd “postofiica: cost of building, €1 Cost pairs, MESSIAH. Serious Trouble Supposed to Be Brew- ing on the Reservatio © MixNeAPoLIS, Minn,, Nov. 16.—A Mandan, N. D., special says that the settlers living ou the border of the Sioux reservation bring stories of the arming of the Indians, which is borne out by Joseph Buckley, who sp eaks their language. Buckley came in today and says that every Indian on tho reservation will shortly go on a warpath. and that they have got possession of Custer's rifles, which the United States army never found, The local hardware men have-.in the last few days sold their entire stocks of ammunition to In- dians, The Indians say if they are unsuc- cessful in the raid whey will get double ra- tions and they have nothing to lose. The citizens here and scttlers who are un- protected believe General Ruger and the In- dian authorities are harboaing a feeling of fulse security.

Of the others, Carlisle is the oldest, largest and most famous, It accom- modates over 600 pupils, Lawrence, Kau., is the next in size with 430, and Genoa stands third with accommodations for 250, to be ine creased to at least 800, The Genoa school is a model in its manage« ment, and Is noted for the special care given to instruction in Englishy for its excellnt mdustrial training and for the healthfulness of its location. In Indian school cireles it is generally conceded that the future will place the Genon school at the head of the column.

The school campns, buildings, orehard, pasture and meadow occupy 160 acees, but all the re- mainder of the land is actually under the plow and as will be scen below has been a sourcenot only of instruction but of profit. The school was opened _1n 1884 in a single buiiding, three stories in heght, Improve- ments have heen made from_year to year un- til now there is a largo and” well arranged plant comprising capacious dormitories, suite able shops, a hospital and all the n outbuildinss representing a value of than 75,000, Last year & two story br costing £,500 was completed and this year one more will bo built at a cost of about £10,000.

The employes had not been paid for some months. The pupils employed from time to time had not reccived any pay for a_year and they were aiscouraged. Mr. Backus took hold of affairs with a firm hand and today the farm, the shops, the school and the premises are in ex- cellent order; the cmployes ure competent, faithiful and earnest; the pupils are coutented and great progress is being made.

However, Indian pupils who have been educated at Genoa ure able to compete with white children having no better oppor- tunities, and are pretty well fitted for the (ll_l;limlry walks and vocations of civilized ife. The industrial work at this school is ex- coptionully geod.
