SCENES DURING THE CLOSING HOURS Efforts to Prolong the Sesson Proved to Be Unavailing, MR, HUTCHESON'S LITTLE FILIBUSTER ' At the Last Moment He Defeats an Appro- priation Bill, CLEVELAND FAILED TO SEND A MESSAGE Dying Hours of Both Branches of Congress Free from Excitement of Any Kind— Work of the Senate in Ex- eoutive Session, WasHINGTON, Nov, 8.—At 8 o'clock today the extraordinary session of the Fifty-third “congress, after being in session eighty-seven days and three hours, adjourned. A wrangle Dbetween the house and senate over an appro- priation to pay the senate session employes for work done during the recess of the Firty- first congress in 1800, caused the failure of the general deficiency bill and the bill for the payment of clerks and employes between today and the regular session, December 4. The senate was determined this appropria- tion should be agreed to by the house by the alternutive of sacrificing the deficiency bill, and Senator Cockrell, chairman of the appropriation committee, sent word that not §1 of deficiency would be agreed to by the senate until the house accopted this amendment, which had boen tacked onto the deficiency bill. The senate adjournment resolution had not been passed, and in this way the senate expected to make the house yield. To make assur- aace doubly sure, the senate also placed the same amendment on the bill providing pay for session employes and clerks to members during the recess, and sent word that if its amendment was agreed to the defi- clency bill would be released from confer- ence, where it was being held as if in chan- cery by the senate. Defeated by Mr. Hutcheson, /+Inasmuch as every membenof the house was interested in the resolution to keep his ‘clerk on the pay roll during the recess, sen- ators thought they held the wlhip hand, but the plan was defeated by a filibuster inau- gurated by Mr. Hutcheson of Texas. He was opposed to tho original resolution to § pay theemployes of congress during the re- ~ > ~ and employes of the houseand seun cess, butiwas casily outgeneraled by the parliamentyyians who opposed him. When the resolution came back to the house, how- ever, with thescnate amendment as a rider it was @bout 8 0'clock. Mr. Hutcheson saw if hercould hold the senate-at bay for the spaco of buta few minutes, tho adjournmony would glve him the victory. The, senate wasimmediately notified of the situation 1 the houso and a_resolution was hurriedly passed extending the time of wajournment to 4:80, but the effort came too late. Mr, Hutcheson, with Kilgore on his left and Boen, the Minnesota populist, on_his_right, held his position until 8 o'clock, when the house, by 1ts own previous action, was de- clared by Speaker Crisp adjourned sine die. “‘While the house adjourned at 3 o'clock to the sccond, the senate, also adjourncd by resolution simultaneously, did not, in reality, adjourn until seven minutes later. Work in the House. The extraordinary session of congress has ended. The house and senate adjourned sinedie this afternoon. There was the usual rush fug of bills and conference reports in the executive chute of tiie house today that always marks tho closing hours of a session of congress. Imme- diately after the reading of the journa! the senate anendments. to the bill permitting the sale of World’s fair exhibits in this coun- try upon the payment of 50 per cent of duties ‘were nonconcurred in ana the bill was sent 1o further conference. Mr. Richardson of Tennessce presented a yesolution to pay the per dicm session clerks e dur- ing adjournment. M yres of Texas, chairman of the appropriations commitiee, objected. The resolution, he said, did not specify the amount it would carry and he would never agree to any indefinite appro- priation. Tt would cost £20,000 for the clerks to members alone and no one knew how much the continuation of the salaries of other employes would be. He insisted the house should know how much money 1t was voting away. The resolution was curvied, by a vote of 149 to § A dessnge from the Sennte. At 12:55 p. m. the clerk of the senate an- nounced to the house that tne resolution providing for final ad journment for 3 o'clock . Wwas agreed to. As soon, as the announcement was made, on' motion of Judge Holman, the house passed a joint resolution instructing the speaker to appoint a committee of three to join a similar com- mittee of the senate to wait on the presi- dent and inform bim that if he had no further communications to make congress was roady to adjourn. The speaker appointed Messrs, Holman of ndiana, Turner of Georgia and Dingley of Maine. Mr. Boatner was recognized and asked unanimous consent to consider a oill ohan, ang the judicial districts of Plorida. It was and crowd- assed, ‘At 2:35 Judge Holman, Governor Dingley nd Judge Turser, the commitice ap- Jpointad to wait bpon the . president ‘marched down the aisle and ai * pounced that the president had nothing further to communicate. The house, on motion, then receded from its amendment to the World's fair bill, Again o dozen members were clamoring for recognition Mr. Curtis of Kansas, who was recognized, ked unanimous consent %o consider a bill giving an Illinos corporation author! bulld & dam across the Kansas ri Shawnee county, Kunsas, ~-Mr. Bretz objected.

It was then 2:58 p. m., and Mr. Hutcheson, despite the ap- peat of a hundred members, demanded a sec- ond on the motion. Their pleadings were unavailing and at 8 o'clock, while the house was dividing on the demands for a second. Speuker Crisp arose and with a rap of the gavel declared, in nccordance with the motion to adjourn already passed, the hour of 8 o'clock having arrived, the house stood ready to adjourn sine die. Mr. Hutcheson's last filibuster was suc- cessful. ‘Ihe light of the house went out and all conference reports failed. IN THE 5| TE. What that Body Has Accomplished During xtrn Sewsion. WasniNGrox, Nov. 3.—The session of the senate will be long memorable for the con- test over the bill providing for the repeal of the silver purchasing clause of the Sherman actof 1800. The extraordinary session was called for the purpose of accomplishing this repeal, and the other work was merely fu- cidental. - ‘The bill of next greatest importance to the repeal bill, which has passed both houses of congress, is the bill extending the time in which Chinese laborers can register under the Chinese act, known as the Geary law. Much interest also attached to the bill pro- viding for a bridge ncross the Hudson at New York, This bill passed both houses. Of the 1,152 bills which have been intro- duced in the senate during the session, only three have become laws. Oneis in aid of the Midwinter exposition to be held in San Fraucisco, another grants certain settlers in Oklahoma Territory the right to commute their homestead entries, and the third re. lates to clerks in the office of the commis- sioners of the District of Columbia, Old Blis ssedd. The following old bills have passed: Making appropriations for the purchase of grounds in Washington for a builaing to be used as a hall of records. Granting to California 5 per cent of the net proceeds of the cash sales of public lands in that state, To extend the time for making final pa; ments on entries under the desert land act. Authorizing certain Cherokee ailottees or claimants tn purchase certain tracts neld and claimed by them. To donate to the county of Laramie, Wy- oming, certain bridges on the abandoned Fort Laramie military reservation. To authorize the Chattanooga Western Railroad company to construct a bridge across the 'lennessce river near Chat- tanooga. To grant the right of way to the Kansas, Oklatoma Central & Southwestern Railroad company through Oklahoma and Indian Ter- ritory. To aid the states of California, Oregon, Washington, Montana, [daho, Nevada, Wyoming, Colorado and South Dakota to support schools of mines. Protably the most important bill upon the senate calendar now is that of the repeal of the federal election laws. A similar bill has passed the house. Senator Voorhees has a bill concerning national bank note circula- tion, Mr. Morgan's resolution for a joint committee of the two houses to consider questions of finance hus a place on the calen- dar, as has Mr. Stewart's resolution conc ing the co-ordinate branches of the govern- ment, and also Mr. Peffer’s relating to inter- state commerce. Senator Palmer's bill con- ceruing invalid pensions paid tononresidents is in shape for consideration. Kegulur Proceedings. The appearance of the senate was not un- usual this morning. 'he attendance both of senators and spectators was smali, Soon after the senate mev Mr. Cockrell, from , the committee on appropriations, reported favorably the house concurrent resoilution providing for the adjournment at 8 o'ciock and asked for its immediate consideration. Mr. Coke spoke in opposition to the reso- lution. Congress should not adjourd, he said, but should continue in session, and should proceed in the transaction of busi- ness. Mr. Dolph of Oregon opposed an adjourn- meut at this time. Mr. Call of Florida and Mr. Berry of Arkansas thought that it was the duty of congress to remain in session. Mr. Gray of Delaware said it was an idle |ll:|.\‘mpn to continue the session until Decem- er, Mr. Mills of Texas said it was his misfor- tune to disagree with nearly everybody. He thought the business in the next session would be expedited by adjourning now. Alien Talks for Popullsts. Mr. Allen of Nebraska expressed his pref- erence . to remain now than to prolong the next session. The populists, he said, were prepared for work. They were in condition 1o assist in the passing of a tariff bill and to aid in the enactment of legislation designed for the benefit of the people. Mr. Cullom of Illinols said that as a mem- ber of the committee on appropriations, he had consented to the reporting of the ad- joyrnment resolution because he supposed it wis & foregone conclusion that the majority desired to adjourn. While heshould stand for the resolution, he wished to say that if congress should, before adjourning, announce to the country that it intended to repeal either the election or the tariff bill iv would be doing a very good picce ot work. Mr. Blackburn of Kentucky favored the resolution and Mr. Peffer of Kansas op- posed it. The concurrent resolution was then passed T'ne house bill in aid of the World's fuir prize winners exhibition to be held i New York city was then passed. Mr. McPherson of New Jersey offered the usual resolution which was agreed to for a committee of two senators to join u similar fommittee of the house to waitupon the president and inform him that congress was ready to adjourn, Mr. Ransom of North Carolina and Mr, Cullom of Illinois w appointed as the com- mittee on the part of the senate, The clerk then began calling the commit- tees for reports. Soveral trivial bills were reported, Thei a dozen members were on their feet seeking recognition. Mr. Harris of Tenuessee, for the reasons expressed by Mr. Coke, wis opposed 1o ad- Journing. Mr, Cockrell said he heartily concurred in what his distinguished colleague had said, but it was not worth while 1o talk when it was known that a quorum could not be kept for the remainder of the session. h”l‘ho semale then went into executive ses- sion, Olosing Seen At 2:57 the senate opened 1ts doors after the executive session and Mr. Kansom of the committee Lo wait on the presideat in- formod the senate that the president had no further communications to make. he vice president then made his ac- knowledgment of the resolution of thank: aud adjourned the senate in a fow words. Hesaid: My appreciation of the resolu- tion, personal to myself, kindly adopted by the senate, cannot be measured by words. To your courtesy and forbearance 1 am indebted to whatever measure of success has attended my administration of this great office. Therecord of the session of the ifty-thivd congress is made: theuceforth it belougs to the domain of history. “Earnestly wishing each and all of you:s safeand pleasant return to your homes and constituents. 1 now, in pursuance of the con- current resolution of the two houses, declare the senate adjourned without aay. The gavel was brought down shurply and the extraordinary session of the Fifty-third congress haa adjourned sine die, Horoblower Not Contirmod. ‘The executive session ended without cou- fuming the nomination of Mr. Horu- blower to be justice of Lhe supreme oourt, This failure to confirm has the effect of a rejection. The president will therefore e compelled to either send his name again or to nominate another man to the office. AL 8:06 p. ., the senate clock having been CONTINUED ON SECOND FaGK, MOSHER 1S AT PLATTSMOUTH Marshal White Takes the Bank Wreoker Away from Lincoln, CHAMPAGNE CHARLEY'S CASS COUNTY CELL Prisoner Arrived In Omaha Yeaterday En- route to His New Headquarters—Cause for the Sudaen Change—lnst tions of Uncle Sam. Sheriff Hennett's star boarder, O. W. Mosher, seems to be & “jonah' to any sherift wha s 80 unfortunate as to have him in cus- tody. After Tur Ber exposed the bank wrecker's privileges 1 the Douglas county jail the attention of the United States authorities was called to the travesty on justice in the so-called imprisonment of Mosher and it was decided to transfer him to another jail. This wasd done and Mosher was taken 10 Lan- caster county. When Mosher was taken to Lincoln United States Marshal White gave positive instructions that the prisoner was not to be permitted to leave the jail under any circumstances. ‘These instruc- tions had hardly grown cold until rumors were rife that Mosher had been permitted | to take buggy rides and was in a measure repeating the program which he enjoyed in Omaha. The district court also took a hand in the matter and had the “sporty” ex-banker summoned before that tribunal in an en- deavor to secure evidence which was wanted by the prosecution against the managers of the defunct bank. 1nstructions Ignored. This was all in direct conflict with the orders of the Unitea States marshal, and as soon as he heard of it he determined to put a sudden stop to such a procedure. Yester- day he dispatched Deputy Marshal Boehme to Lincoln and told him to bring Mosher to the union depot in this city and he would meet him at the train, This was done. and when Mosher arrived in Omaha Marshal White took him in charge. Last night Mosher occupied quarters in the Cass county jail. He is likely to remain there for an indefinite period from present indica- tions. Since his incarceration in the Lan- caster county jail Mosher has caused a great deal of trouble. Confempt of Court. While Mosher was pleasantly whilin the hours away in Omaha as the honore guest of Sheriff Bennett, and acting as_side partner of the sheriff’s brother, the credi tors of Mosher began suits to recover mon, loened him., Mosher had transferred his property to D. K. Thompson, and his cred- itors wanted to attach this property. At- tachment suits were filed in the district and Judge Tiobetts set the date of the hearing for Thursday. Mosher was taken into court on an order from the judge, but ho laughed at all efforts to make him tes- tify. Mosher had 'filed an answer to all these suits, but as ho refused to auswer the questions of the court a motion was made by the prosecntion to strike out his answers, It this is done judgment will be rendered against him through default and would be a great victory for his creditors. Judge Tib- betts has the motion 1o do this under advise- ment now. Questlon of Jurisdiction, ‘When Mosher was taken to Lincoln no commitment papers were used in malking his transfer, and the attorneys for the pros- ecution say that because of this Mosher has passed beyond the jurisdiction of federal au- thority and is now amenable to the lower courts, Ubon this presumption the lawyers have moved thut in refusing to answer the questions propounded to him on Thursday he is guilty of contempt of court, and they have requested that he be closely ' contined in a dark cell and fed upon bread and water until he is compelled to answer any question which may be asked him about the uttach- ment suits. When Ma White heard of this move he had Mosher removed from Lan- caster county. Arrival at Plattsmouth, The marshal and his prisoner arrived in Plattsmouth yesterday afternocon and Mosher was turned over to Sheriff Tighe, who at once locked him up the same as he would any other prisoner. The marshal's instructions to the sheriff were to confine him with the rest of the prisoncrs, and that he was not to be taken from the jail. It is a notorious fuct that the Cass county jail offers very few advantages to prisoners, and it is highly suspected that 1t is only a matter of a few days until Mosher will be yearning for another prison. The place abounds with flith, and the peo- ple of Plattsmouth, although indignaut at the enormity of Mosher's fraudulent deal- ings in connection with his defunct Lincoln bank, might not censure the authorities for giving the bank wrecker an occasional breath of air from the outside of the jail, Marshal White Interviewed, Marshal White was seen by a BEr repre- sentative and when questionell as to the cause of Mosher's removal from tbe Lincoln jail stated that it was solely to prevent a clish- ing of authority between the federal and state autorivies, such as the experience of Thursday, when he was taken from the Lin- coln jail by an officer of the Lancaster county district courv and made to appear as o witness. It scemed that the prisoner was 1o continually come into court to give his testimony, If these requests were granted United States Marshal White might have some difficulty in regaining possession of his prisoner, It is hinted that un attempt may yeu be made to take Mosher out of White's custody by & writ of habeas corpus. If this is done ne can very easily be placed n the custody of the state courts and made to answer to the mauny charges yet pending over him. —————— CITIZENS FROTEST, Pitteburg Poople Object to Nuns as Teachers in the Public Schools Prrrsnung, Nov. 8.—An attempt to intro- duce the Faribult system inthe Thirty- fourth ward public sehool by the election of four nuns us teachers, is meeting with strong opposition.

NEW Yonk, Nov. §.-Mrs. Christine Lath- rop Gunning, nieco Bf the late Senator Leland Stanford of Calffornia, filed afidavits in the supreme court cham:bers today, whick developed one of the most, remarkable cases of cruelty on record, She says Gunuing ran away from her ana hig ¢reditors in Novem- ber, 1888, with #15,000 of her money. after squandering her fortund of §250,000. He was lost in a snow storm in the Andes mountains in May, 1889, A judgment on one of the notes for 5,000, obtaitied from her by her husband led to the proceedings before Judge Barrett. Lawyer Joseph B. Bareus moved that the judgments secured in Coznecticut by the Lincoln National bank of this city in 1880, and also ut Saratoga on February, 1801, be set aside. He argued the judgment could not be collected, as all of Mrs. Gunning's money was gone. Supplementary proceod- ings in the suit were subsequently brought to recover on the note, and Walter P. Butler was appointed receiver of Mrs. Gunning's property. It was to preyent the roceiver from getting av the legacy of $100,000 left her by Leland Stanford that Lawyer Barcus moved the judgment be set aside. Her™ de- fense is that the note was obtained while she was under duress, and that the bank had been notified before the nate was given that the notes were being obtained from her by force, Mrs. Gunning’s affidavit states that after her marriage she went td° Mount Vernon to live, and three weeks afterwards Gunning began to threaten her and despoil her of her property. He made her an inmate of an in- sane asylum for six weeks in Hartford. Since she was removed from the asylum she has lived with her mothér and two children at Saratoga. She says that on one occasion, when her husband wanted her to sign anote, he presented a revolver at her head. At an- other time he choked her until she fainted, and once knocked her gown with his fist and mjurea her spine. To save her life, she signed notes in those instances, On a cold night in the winter df 1887 Gunning wanted her to sign another note, and, because she refused, he dragged her out of bed and knocked her down. Mrs. Guuning says that he made her sign another note on September 25, 1888, when she was about to become.a mother. He drove everybody from her room and told her that she must sign a mote for more money. She protested, and fetchingpen and 1k to the bedside,he grabbed her Hand and caused her to trace her name on the'mote. In Octo- ber, 1887, Mrs. Gunning sayk her husband leased a farm of his brothér near Norwalk, Conn., and stocked it wikh thoroughbred horses and _called 1t a “sci tific stock farm.” ~ He * added acres to 1t and sunk §900,000 of her money init. On October 9, 1888, 4 induced her to come to this city. When on! the train, he told_her he wanted hor to bign move uotes, and when she refused he thileatened to put her in an insane usylum, = £ took her to the Chemical Natwonal bank dnd she there signed several notes, inclnding the one that figured in the suit against ‘ber.. Mrs. Gun- ning_says she motified William T. Cornell, cashier of the Lincoln National bank, of the duress she was under and that she would not be responsible for “the notes thus ex- torted from her. ¥\ Mrs. Gunning secured -a. separation from her husband in Connectient in February, 1880, A I3 Ex-Judge Nouh A. Davis and Lawyer Gerter, in_opposing the 1fibtion, submitted an afidavit of William'T, Corfiell in which he denied that Mrs. Gunning had notified him she had signed the note, or any notes, while under duress. 1t was shown the bank had discounted many notés of the couple previous to the one foyolved in the suit. Officers of the Lincolu Nagional bank denied they had any knowledge of the quarrels of the Gunnings. VANISHING GLOKIES, Demolition of the White City by the Lake Golog Kapdly On.

Cepar Rarms, Ia., Noy. 8.—|Special Tele- gram to Tug Bre.]—D. G. Ramsay, grand chief of the Order of Railway Telegraphers, has entered a demurrer in the district court at Marion to the indictment recently re- turned on the charge of wire cutting. It allegos that the indictmentdoesn't show any injury to the telegraph wires, but simply shows an hl]\l!‘i’l to the current of electricity passing through the wires; that the statute only makes it a criminal offense to cut break or injure telegraph wires; that the statuté does not include, or make criminal a mere process by means of which the cur- rent of electricity passing through or along a wire is hindered, disturbed or cut off, and the indictment shows . nothing more than a hindered, disturbing and cutting off of such electric current of electricity and that the indictment does not charge any criminal offense under the statute. The demurrer will be argued at some future time. ists’ Clalins False, Des Moixes, Nov. 8.—{Special Telegram to Tue Bee.]—The claims of prohibitionists that Methodist ministers are opposed.to tho republican party ave not sustained.

It was at last dispersed, but later gathered in groupsin differént parts of the city and listened to violent speeches by leaders of the socialists, some of whom urged the people to rise and over- throw a state which cut them down for the sake of the liberals.
