CAUSED BY HIS BROTHER-IN-LAW'S TEMPER Little Family Row in Which No One Was Hart Started n Ramor Which the Shureh Wil Be Aske, Tuvestigate. Rev. Mr. TLevick has roturned from Des Mornes, and is greatly annoyed by the ex- aggeratod roports which have been circulat- ing in his absenco, and which grew out of a little family event which occurred just as he was starting away from home. His brother- indaw, J.H. McDonald, who seems to be glven to outbursts of uncontrollable passion, became angry and attacked him so fierce that the clerical victim of his wrath was compelled to defend himself witha cane. Outof this occurrence grow a sensational story tothe effect that the minister had murderously assaulted McDonald, who was pictured as a helpless invalid, and that the assailant had fled the city to escape arrest. Mr. Levick is very anxious that the real facts should be brought out in their full de- tails before some proper tribunal, as this to his mind is the only way in which he can get a comple‘e and public vindication. As there is no complaint _for him to answer in either the civil or criminal courts, he is going/to re- quest hus brethren of the churci to make an ccclesiustical investigation aud thus set him right. Mr. McDonuld seems now repentant of his actions, and has signed a written statement, the facts of which are also vouched for by his wife, in which he says: 1 desire to stato that the reports circu- tated in the city papers against the charac- ter of W, C. Levick are false, and that the stated assault upon myself by Mr. Levick was done 1 defense ‘and under extreme DProvocation brought about by myself.” Dintrict Gourt Notes, Judge Macy held a session of the district court yesterday, at which a number of di- vorce cases were disposed of, He adjourned at the close of the afternoon session until Tuesday afternoon at 2 o'clock in ordor that the lawyers and othor laborers may cele- brate Labor day to the full and have ample time to recover.

There would have been nothing very unusual in that. were it not for the fact thut it was a folding bed. Like other folding beds, it was impossible to tell five minutes ahead just what caper it was going to cut. Hence it was that about the time he' and Morpheus had begun to venew old acquaiutance he was suadenly brought to his senses by a sudden up-ulting of the foot of the bed. ~Before he ppened the bed haa locked and he found himself iu a very emburrassing position.

Elden Waid, a young farmer of Rockford township, knows considerably more about what the price of iron posts ought to be than he knew a month ago, and now he wants to get his information for nothing. He com- menced action in the district court yesterday in which I N. Barrett and N. Prentiss, brothers-ii-inw, are defendants, to replevin 4 team of mules and harness which he claims are in the possession of Prentiss. The Yeam and harness were given to Barrett in pay- ment_for the right to sell iron fence posts in Suline county, Nebraska. The posts were represented, he claims, to bo the output of a Sioux City company which was going to start a_ branch = factory in Council Bluffs within ten days, and Barvett agreed to furnish all_he wanted at 20 conts apiece. He gavo Waid to under- stand that he haa already sold 1300 posts to farmers in the vicinity of Council Bluffs, and that if he wanted to get on the high road to wealth all he had to do was simply to get out and sell fence posts, for at the price they were solling they would certainly knock all competitors out of the fleld in the first round. - Now Waid claims to have found out that posts of that kind cannot be made for less thun $1 each, and he also claims that the factory in Sioux City, as well as the prospective one here, were figments of tho fertile imagination of Mr. Barrott.

ANTICIPATED ~ THE CHEMIST'S REPORT First Evidence that'Directly Connects the Accased WALtH' (he Murder of His WiALProgress of U Trinl, Avoca, [a., Sept to Tue Bee, 9, —[Spocial Tolegram Mawhor received some protty hard blows in the course of taking testi- mony today. In fact about the first evidenc that directly tended to fasten on him the re- sponsibility of his last wite's death was that taken today. 1t was developed that hoe knew and stated that his wife died from the effect of strychnine poisoning in advance of the report of the state chemist, which de- veloped the fact absolutely. At the opening of court Dr. S, A. Hatton of Riverton was called by the state. He testified that he was presentat the coroner's inquest, and then corroborated the testi- mony of Dr. Freeco. He saw the body at the coroner's inquest and helpad to dissect it. All the organs were found in a healthy, normal condition, except the congestion re- sultant on the manner of death. ‘the heart wus empty and the lungs and brain were gorged with blood, dark and liquid, These were symptoms of poisoning by strychain At the adjourned session of the coroner's Jury, he suid Mawhor called particular at- tontion of the jury to the fact that on the evening of her death, when taking the cap- sules, Mrs. Mawhor esked, ‘‘Where is the little one?” She finally founa and took it, saving there was quinine on the outside of it. After wking it she fell eep, but awoke in about half an hour and asked for a light, and told Mawhor to call the children, ‘Then she called the children herself, and kissing them, said she was going to die. Knew She Would Die. “Tam afraid it was not quinine in that little capsule,” she said to her husband. Mawhor told the witness that onse when he was in Ne! u City with his wife and her mother the women went to a drug store. He did not know what they ought, or if they bougnt any- thine. He said that nhe supposed it was on this occasion his wife got the strychnine with which she killed herself. This was before the state chemist had made his port and it was known that death had been caused by strychnine. On cross-examination took to throw a shade on Dr. Hatton's scientific attainments and his right to prac- tice medicine. This was not very successful. R. S. Tate, sheriff of Fremont county, testified that on November 24, 1802, he ar: rested Mawhor. He searched him and found a vial marked *'strychnine” in his possession. On cross-examination ho testified that he did not maike the yrrest at Shenandoah, D, W. Brown, his deputy, did. He denied any knowledwe of a mob forming nt Riverton, und said that was pot the reason Deputy Brown stopped all vightat Shonandoal with his prisoner. When hie went to take Mawhor to Riverton he took no help along, Mrs. Erbeck, mother of wife No. called, but her testiwony was objected to by the defense because her nane was not en- dorsed on the indictwent. She was put over il Monday, the stage in the mecantime to produce notice of intention to take her testi- mony. Florence Harris, who resided within a short distance of the Mawhors, testified that the dead woman was of a very cheerful dis- position and friendly with her neighbors. u the mouth of August prior to her death Mrs. Mawhor once sald she would rather be dead than living with Leah Mawhor (Maw- hor's daughter). . .. Court adjourned at noon in order that the witnesses might go home for Sunday. There will be at least two days more testimony for the state, and the defense will occupy at least three days in examning its witnesses. the defense under- REPUBLICAN METHODS QUESTIONED, Third Party Prohibitionlsts Object to the Party's Recent Declaration.

Wants the Sesslons to Begin Earller, Mr. Voorheos gave notice that he would on Monday move to begin the daily sessions at 11o'clock instead of noon, adding that he had an old-fashioned notion thav the senate should submit to the will of the majority. Tho silver men saw in the mo- tion and the accompanying remarks an indication of the intention to force matters in the repeal bill debate, with a probable effort to adopt closure. The sil- ver senators at onco held a confevence and decided not to be caught napping, us th were yesterduy, with no one ready to talk Mr. Palmer presented a_joint’ resolution for the election of sonators by direct vote of the people, which was referred to the com- mittee on privileges and_elections, together with one on the sume subject_submitted by Mr. Mitchell of Oregon some time ugo. Mr. Voorhees asked that the repeal bill be laid aside temporarily in order that Mr. Dolph might preceed with some remarks on another subject. The connnittee on appropriations reported the houso bill to provide for certain urgent deficiencies in appropiations; passed with amendments. To Enforce the Exclusion Act. The repeal bill was laid aside and Mr. Dolph spoke in favor of his bill appropriat- ing 500,000 for the enforcement of tho Chineso exclusion act, He then went on with a statement of the cvil influences and undesivable features of Chinese immigration, reciting the disastrous effect of Chinese competition in the western states, Mr. Dolph reviewed 1n detail the legisla- tion and the treaties relating to the subject. nd the conditions which led up to the en- actment of the Geary law. The provision for the registration of Chinese was drawn by himself, una was intended to bo within vho limits of the treaty and 15 not onerous, The provision requiring Chineso laborers in this country to register and obtain certificates was uot inserted for the purpuse of prevent- ing any Chinese to enter the United States and reside here, nor thoso now residing here from doiug so. Tt was not inserted for the purpose of securing the deportation of Chi- neso. It was inscried for the single purpose of enubling the government to designate tho Chinese laborers in this country entitled to remain here that they might be disti guished from those being smuggled across out bordets. Was Not Degrading. There had been a great deal of absurd talk and ignorant criticism about provision. Ho was more responsible for the provision for the registration than any other man_in the United States, for he drafted it. The talk about the provision being degrading was absurd. In every state in the union voters were required to register, so that they might lawfully vote, and yet there had beeb no suggestion that it was degrading. As the deportation of Chinese was not the purpose of the law, it was ot incompatible with the intention of the act to extend the time in which the Chinese may register Mr. White of _California said the senator from Oregon (Mr. Dolph) seemed to have been treated badly in the senate before he (White) came here, in_failing to have his name attached to the Geary act. The bill, which the senator from Oregon introduced, had nothing in 1t with regard to registra’ tion. He was not the father of the registra- tion idea, because that idea had been in- corporated into the original house bill There was enough money appropriated to enforce tho act, and, therefore, he was in favor of some legislition to enable the law 10 be carried out. Mr. Dolph_asked whether all the money appropriated for exccuting the act hud been expended. Mouey chat Had Been Appropriated. Mr. White said he had the figures and proceeded to give them. Since 1880, 8200,000 had been appropriated, of which there was an unexpended baance of fifty odd thousand dollars. It would bo botter, he said, if Mr, Dolph, instead of trying to establish himself as the father of the measure, would devote himself to securing appropriatious to enforce the law. Mr. Dolph replied he had done all he could to secure appropriations aud there was noth- ing 1n his remarks to justify the suggestion that he claimed to be the authorof the act or_he had been badly treated by the senate. Mr. Teller of Colorado called attention to the fact that abrogation of a treaty is not abolition of it. The violation of & treaty carried with it an implication of misconduct on the part of the government violating it; tho abrogation of a treaty carried no_such inference, Certain lawyers in New York, influenced, no doubt, by the large fe offered by the Six Companies, concluded that the Geary act was a violation of tho constitution. In his mind there was no doubt of the constitutional power of the gov- ernment to exclude undesivable immigration, Ho had not read the arguments of the New York lawyers because he did not think thore was enough in them to justify a business man in reading them. A nation that canuot clear its borders of a hostile alien element is not a nation with full national prerogatives and rights. Mr. Teller continued that this was not a political question in the sense that either party could be said to be responsiblo for the legislation if bad, or could claim evediv for it if good. He had néver voted for exclusion legislation because it was desired by the people of California, but ba- cause of the resulting from Chineso lubor in competition with American labor, Mr. Gray's Talk, At 2 o'clock the repeal bill, being tho *u finished business,” was laid befoie the sen- ate and on motion of Mr. Harris, democrat, of Tennessee, was temporarily laid aside to allow the discussion to continue on the sub- Ject of Chinese exclusion, s Mr. Gray of Delawar democrat, while agreeing in the main with the senator from do, Mr. Teller, wished to express his dissent from the view expressod by him that the abrogation of & treaty was not a violation of it. Some of the recent legislu- tion had been in the direction of a violation of the plighted « faith of the government and a violation . such & character as seemed to bim to have beeu entirely unu ssury. The United States had scen fit to undertake toe obligations imposed by the treaty relations which it bad entered into with China and in such undertakiog had pledgod the faith of this mighty people to their performance. He did not believe that s great country could violate it treaty ooligations without serious evil to the couantry itself. There is & modo by which the United States could honorably rid itself of those obligations other than the ruthless one of disregarding its treaty.

Mr. Mitchell Asks & Question, Mr. Mitchell, republican, of Oregon in- quired how the senator from Delaware (Mr. Gray) reconciled his statoment with the fact that after the United States had negotinted a treaty with China, having for its purpose the exclusion of Chinese laborers from this country and sent that treaty buck to China, that it was held by the Chinese government for months and months without aceceptance, and 1 fact was ne accepted, Mr. Gray responded that the t held in China because at the time the' lej lation which proposed ruthlessly and lently to set aside treaty obiigations being discus: in cougress, Mr. Mitchell stated that an examination of the record would develop the fact that this Scott bill, to which the senator doubt- less referred, 'was not introduced in tho house until the treaty to which he (Mr, Mitchell) had referred had been for some months in the hands of the Chinese govern- ment. Mr. George, Jaemocrat, of Mississippi said he had voled against the Geary act because he consi fered it contaned a provision which was an insult to many of his constituents, in requiring white witnesses to swear to the right of a Chinaman to nuin in the Unite States.

He desired to know upon what process of reu- soning, what public policy, demanded o pro- vision of that sort in a government having a constitution which makes the black man the equal if not the superior of the whito race, s Use Wis Accldental, Mr. Dolph replied that the use of the word *white” was accidental and that it was not the intention to discriminate against col- ored persons as _witnesses, tho design being merely to provide for witnesses other than Chineso. At the lust session he had intro duced a bill to correct the mistake, and it was fuvorably reported from the foréign re- lations committee, but when he had endeay- ored to get the bill up opposition came frow the democratic side of the scnute. Mr. Call, democrat, of Klorida while not objecting to the exclusion of the objection able portionof the Chinese, regarded the manner in which thelegislation was rushed through, not, perhups, by one or the other party, but by both, objectionable. There was a groat commercial interest, an_intercst of civilization, an interest of religion, and u interest of good faith and good opinion of the people of the world toward this country involved. Tnerefore the legislation was not in his judgment justi Mr. Dolpi's bill, at the conclusion of the debate thereon, was referred to the cowmit tee on foreign affairs.
