CONGRESSIONAL PROCEEDINGS Considemtion by the House of the Legis- lative Appropriation Bill. DISCUSSION ON THE BARRUNDIA AFFAIR, Dalzell Takes the Part of Commander Reiter and Messrs. Lodge and Dolliver Defend Secre- tary Tracy. Wasmixorox, Feb. 10.—in the houso this morning the house bill increasing to $100 per mouth the pension of the widow of General Custer passed, Unanimons consent for the committee on colnage, weights and measures to sit during tho sessions of the house was granted. rmy and pension and appropriation 1o sent to conference, After consideration of some other business the house went into committee of the whole on the locislative appropriation bill. In 2 general debate the Barrundia case was revivod by Mr, Dalzell of Pennsylvania, who deferided the action of Commander Reiter. The public reprimand administered o the commander by the secretary of the navy, hy sald. was unwarranted and unjust. Mr. Dal- zell nMrmed that Guatemala haa a_right to arre undia whil: on board the Aca- ulco. “Was there,” he asked, “one law to be tollowed when we faced Guatemata, an another when we faced Great Britain, F or Germany{” He said . The killing of Farrundia could not do the American flag any harm. It never had been the function of our flag, it was not now, it never would be, to protect erimipals, to defeat theadministra- tion of justice, to defy the well recognized principles of international law. Nesses. Lodge of Massachusetts and Dolli- ver of lowa defended the action of the sec- rot 1y of the navy. M. Boutelie of Maine said he would not hav. written the letter to Commander Reiter that t cretary had published, and if he had sweitien it ho would not have pub- ishic d v Tithian opposed the shipping bill, and attacked Charles Hill, secretary of the ship- ping league, on account of his statement that he (Fithian) was a British emissary. Tio denounced the statement as a lie and the 10r as an nnmitigated liar, Farquhar of New York briefly do- { nded the bill, and, without disposing of the ;w\!. the committes’ roso and the house ad- o rned. Senate, Wasnr§arox, Feb. 10.—In the senate today the house bill to revise the wages of certain employes in the government printing office was passed with a substitute providing for an advance for night employes, A confor- ence was asked and Messrs, Manderson, wley and Gorman appoiuted conforees on tho part of the senate, Messrs. Dawes, Plumb and Gorman wero appointed conferces on the part of the senate on the fortification bill, ‘'he naval appropriation bill was then taken up. The first amenament reported from tho committee on appropriation was the follow- able the president to cause care- ful soundings to be made between San Fran- cisco and Honolulu for the vburpose of de- terming the practicability of laying a tele- graphic eable between these points, $20,000 or 80 much thereof as may be necessary, ond the president is hereby authorized to direct the use of any vessel or vessels belonging to the United States in making such_survey. Agreed to after remarks by Mr. Gor- man to the effect that i¥ is not to be regarded as committing the government in any way to the proposition that the gov- ernment was to lay this cabl ‘The item of £25,000 for equipmont and arms for the paval militia_in the various states’ was challenged by Mr. Carliste and explained by Mr. Haleas apolying to certain states that had oreanizations for drilling and tralning for the naval service just as the land militis_had for land service. Mr. Carlislo opposed the item. He thought it merely the veginning of a bounty system. The matter was discussed at great iength. The paragraph was amended to read ““for arms” Instead of ‘equivment and arms,” and agreed to—31 to 15, The next amendment was one providing for @ dry dock on the Columbia river or on Puget souind. M, Allen moved a substitute, fixing the site at Port Orchard on Puget Sound. No action was reached on the amendment. A message from the president with corre- spondence relating to the conduct of Com- mander Reiter was presented and referred to the committee on naval affairs, The presiden’t veto message on the bill for a public building at Dallas, Tex., (with the action of the house passing 'the bill over the veto), was presented and referred. Bulogies were delivered on the late Repro- sentative Walker of Missouri and the senate adjourned. Nebraska, lowa and Dakota Pensions.

Frank Dickinson is not an unqualified suo- coss as & sneak thiefand burglar. He entered the room of R. A. MecCrone and W, L. Ed- wards at 1616 Califoruls street about 7 o'clock last evening, and was discovered by the rogular occupants of the room on their relurn from supper. He tried to hide be- hind a dressor, but flnally remarked that ho was drunk and ®guessed be was in the wrong room” Williams coincided in this view and reached for his revolver, whereupon the stranger dashed down tho stairs and up the alley with Will- fams in close pursuit. - A bullet whistled past the fugitive’s ear and he surrendered. = Ho was turned over to Officer White, The prisouer gave tho name of Frank Dick- anson and said his homo was in Indianapolis and that bearrved here Saturday. He de- niod huving boen in tho Louse, but was posi- tively identified by both Williams and Mo- Crone. Two coats which ho had taken from the room were found upon him when he was overhauled. A chargoof burglary will be preferred against him. -~ A Bee Man Unearths S8ome New Facts in the Rodgers Case. About four weeks ago the member of Turn Bar staff who reported the lndian trouble for this paper had occasion to spend a day or 50 in Rushville, Neb., twenty-five miles from tho seat of tho disturbance. Stopping at the same hotel that he did was a small sized, rather boyish-faced young man, apparently taventy-Awo or twen ty-three yearsold, who had lost his left arm. He was well dressed aud sat acound the office a great deal, but seemed averse to talking with any one. ‘Tife only time that Tux Bew man remembered baving heard him talk at all was when some one asked him how he came to los His roply was, as near as it can be recalled, that while engaged in_a mock battie asa member of a home military company sotie- where in tho cast, his arm had been shot oft by the premature discharge of a cannon. It is also remembered that when some one sug- ested that he deserved a pension tho young man replied that he was receiving a small pension from the state on account of his dis- ability, Timo passed n. Tie Ben man_completed his work, and returning tofOmaha, resumed his routine duties in the local department of his paper, which amoug other tnings in- cluded daily calls at the county jail in search of news Yesterday afternoon when he called at the county prison, Jailor Lynch raised a window and in reply to the inquiry as to what, if any, nows he had, auswe have brought that young man tho would be suicide, up here from y Jail. He says that while they have prevented him thus far from taking his life, 1o wou't bo failed any longer, but will now starve himself to dath—and he seems to mean just what he say."" Tho fact that this much-written-about young man had bit upon a new plan for tak- ing his life was, initself, a good little item and nasmuch as the reporter in question had never seen Rodgers he went into the jail to see him. Jome into the private ofice and I will have the guards bring him in” said Jailer Lyuch. The caller complied. Presently a scuffloin the corridor was heard, accom- ponied by such protestations as, “I don’t want to see him.” “I don't want'to see the reporter at all." Alternating with _the protests were laugh- ter and remarks by the guards, who ox- claimed, “Oh, come along. You've seen lots of reporters siuce yon come to Omaha, and vou needn't be afraid of this one, for he won't urt you." “Yes," said the person first heard, *‘but T don’t want to see thatreporter,” with empha- sis on the “that.” Another minute and a boyish faced voung man with onlyone arm was brought tothe door of the private office. “Why, comeon in here, young man," re- marked Tie Bee man, *nobody is going to hurt you." Thy prisoner, dressed in blue overalls, finally came forward and took a seat besidé the reporter, who noticed that tlie reluctant young man was eyeing him very sharply. “1 hear you've adopted o new fad—going to starve yourself to death,”” hegan Tue Bee man us a starte Without paying tho slightest attention to the remark, and after gazing at the reporter several minutes, he remarked in a firm and ve hatic tone: :Mr. —, don't you know mel" “T'o hear'a man whom ho thought he never heard of before call his name was astonish- ing boyond expression to the reporter, who replied : *As T look a second time, and very closely, your face does look somewhat familiar. *‘You saw me at Pine Ridgo agency " said the prisoner. ““Never|" “Beg your pardor i *Name some oue of the Pine Ridge people whom you met,” said the reporter, "The prisoner gave three or four names, “‘Never heard of any such peoplo there, and I knew the nameés of nearly or quite overy white man there,” said the reporter, and then asked : “Where did you stop?” ““Ina tent across from the hotel,” replied Rodgers, “Impossible. There were only hospital and officers’ tents across from the hotel, Now tell me,” continued tho reporter, “the namo of the proprictor of that hotel.”” The prisoner gav from the right one. “What were you doing at Pine Ridge!” *'Correspondént for the St. Louis Globe- Democrat.’” “‘And now 1 will beg your that True Bee furnisned the with its dispateh “0, well—but —then—oh, you know, I mean that I wrote special 'articles for ‘the Globe-Demoerat.”” “‘Name some of the correspondents at Pine Ridge agency." Rodgers couldn’t name one at‘the agency. By thistimeit had dawned on Tie Bre man just where he really had met the young fellow, and S0 he remarked : “You are right in saying you have seen me before, but wrong in saying that it was at Pino Ridge. You met me in the Northwest- era hotel at Rushville. What name did you ter under at Rushvillep do not care to say.” “It won't be hard to find out. We will try the wire tonight and seo. Wil you tell mo what name you signed 0 your correspond- ence to the Globe-Democrat?” . “No, Tdon’t caru to tell you that, either.” “Have to use the wire again, then.” “Well, if you do, you will find its still a different ond tnan those I gaveat Pine Ridge, Rushville, or that I have given here,” T change the subject,” said the reporter, |.““have the papers hero 'been treating you about right thus far in your trouble " “No, sir, they have not. They have been saying that 1have confessed to all sorts of things. I have confessed tonotning. They have catled me a horsethief, WhenI get out of this I will make it hot for them." “Then you huve changed your mind about killing yourself—are not going to commit suicide like a coward, but you are going to brace up, faco the music and fight your way out of these suspicions?" The young prisoner blusued to a carmine when he realized how he had trapped bimself as to his statement of his intentions, Fin- ally he said : 0, it's all this way: There is a mighty stroni case of circamstantial evidence against mo in the death of that girl you have read about in that letter of mine that was pub- lished. Many a man has been hung on purely circumstantial evidence. I've been roaming upand down the world for three years trying & name wholly different ardon and say lobe-Democrat to get away from having to meet that case of ciroumstantial evidence, but I know just about whero a trial under it will end.

Farmers, 8s branch of the community, cannot be benefited or injured without it affecting every other branch in the business world. To confirm this view of the question 1 will quote W.

Again neadds: “Practically these loans woro a most successful step.” Right here we have a pre- cedent of government loans by » monurehial government at 1 per cent for a useful pur- e, and also a confirmation by a senator to ho fact that such policy was of great and that it was a most successful ste) ‘ou conclude with the doleful comment, It is difticult to think that any sane man could be- liove that such a measure can ever have the endorsement of the American people.” For ouo [ endorse the English precedent for the simple reason that an Irish landlord declares 11a1d great good and was & successful step: L 1.

Dealers in Seoxnd-Hand Honses Find Bar- gains on "Block 86" LESS THAN A THOUSAND REALIZED. Frank Kaspar Got the Planters' House and Dennis Canningham His Shop-=Tom Murray's Bids Were All Bettered. The announcementthatthe old frame build- ings which have long been an eyesore to mer- chants and others in the vicinity of block 86, would be soid at auction at 10 o'clock yester- day, caused a motley crowd of would-be buy- ers,curiosity seekers and noodlums to congre- #ate at the corner of Sixteenth and Dodgo streets at the hour named, Befcre the sale commenced the crowd amused itself by exploring the old Planters’ houso and a few of the neighboring struct- ures, Many of tho rooms in the ola cart- vansary were still occupied and the tenants craned their necks from the windows like a lot of hornets looking to sco what stranger haa disturbed them in their avocation. ALl of the other buildings on the block were oc- cupled, in spite of the notices to vacate which' bad been served upon them about threo weelis ago. In only oneinstance were the occupants making visible preparations to vacate, aud that was the two-story residence on Seventeenth street. Promptly at 10 o'clock Ed Allen mounted thosteps ot the entrance tothe Planters' house on Sixteenth street, and published the notice and terms of the sale in a loud voice, The noise attracted many passers by and in a few moments the sidewalic was complotely blocked. Custodian Alexander was on hand and Clerk Crumb was present to keep a rec- ord of the sales. Prominent among thoso in the erowd stood Thomas Murray, Joe Redman, Mike Lee, Frank Kasper, H. K. Burket, Dennis Cun- ningham, L. Woodworth and E. R. Ovorall, All of these occupied positions near tho auctioneer and all had “blood in their eye." After announcing that the brick kitchen at the rear of the Planters’ house would besold separately bids were invited on the old frame building. Tom Murray opened the ball by offering $25 as astarter. This was quickly followed by a raiso to $100, and for a few moments the bids rolled in at a rapid rate, the ratio of increase gradually growing smaller. A fter consider- able coaxing the offer was raised to #: and was knocked down to Frank Kaspar at that figure. “The crowd then surged along to the noxt building on the north. the two-story, tumble- down structure occupied by a barber shop and a chinese laundry. This was started at $25 by L. Woodworth, and raised slowly to $40, beingsold to £. K. Overall. The next building, occupied by Dennis Cunninghatm's blackswith shop, was started at & by Tom Murray. Joo Redman raised him &3, which caused Murray to withdraw, The price was gradually vaised to 12 and sold to Dennis Cunninghain at that figure. The old familiar “blue barn” was_tho next in order and was started at $10. This was quickly doubled by Tom Murray, who started through the building to size it up. Mean- while the bidding was raised slowly and paiu- fully by #1 vids until 3 was reached. K]ur- ray woula not see this bid and it was knocked off to Andrew Bertel. The next was a onestory bullding, glo- rious in a fresh coat of bright red paitt. It was occupied as & meat markoet, which was in full blast. Ten dollars wus the starting point and several moments of hageling raised this to §5. Mr. Alexander said *‘Let her go,” and HermanTrottuer was recorded ay the purchaser. Another one-story building was next, oceu- ied as a clothing store. This was started at glfi and was turned over to Joe Redman at §25, The two-story building occupied by a bar- ber shop and a cigar store was the last on Sixteenth street and was started at $25, This was raised slowly to 837 and sold to Nick Rush at that ficure, By this time the crowd bad increased until there were about six hundred eidzens congre- gated at the sceue and these were led baci to the rear of the Planters’ house and the bid- Aing commenced on the brick Kitchen. This was started at 815 and was ramsed slowly to 39, being knocked down to Fritz Miller. The old Byron Reed mansien on Dodge strect was the next in order and was started at§25 by L. Woodworth. For a few moments the bidding was spirited but $43 was the limit and Andrew Bertol was tho happy purchaser, The last building to be solJ Was the two- story residence on Seventeenth street, tho best so far of any of the buildings, and $100 ‘was offered before the auctioneer had reach- ed the ground. This was quickly followed b{y 8150, $200, and soon by fifties to $400, From that point the amount increased grad- ually by small bids until $139 was reached and the sale closod at that figure, C. D. Woodworth being the purchaser. This closed the sale, which had occupied forty-five minutes and on which $§%1 had been realized. Under the terms of the sale the buildings must be removed within thirty days,the holes filled up and the lots left clear.

She said that the well known Zette met her in London some time ago and engaged her fora series of concerts in St. Petersburg. As Zette falled to pay a de- posit to her manager, and as he hired asmall and unimportant theater instead of the leading theater, as ho had promised, sho considered the engagement broken, She consulted Solicitor George Lewis and he ad- vised her that she was under no legal obliga- tions and the contract was nullitied. On the evening of her fulfillne her Berlin engage- ment Zette camie to Berlin from St Petersburg to try to seizo her costumes and jowels and to try to prevent her singing.
