The real cause of Milan's arrival at Belgiade was the difference between King Alexunder and his raaical ministers, ‘The king ap- pealed to his futher, who advised him not to broak with the radicals unless he wanted to suspend the constitution and institute a military regime, which Milun strongly deprecated. &hlg Alexander replied if he could not have his own way he would abdicate and leave Servia, whereuvon Milan started im- mediately for Belarade A Daily News dispatch from Vienna says It is rumored there the king of Servin has been murdered. ‘The rumor as yet lacks confirmation.

An appeal was made to Governor Thornton to suppress the fights. The governor instructed the district attorney and the sheriff to enforce the law.

The president has at last conceded the position to Mr. McShane, it is stated, and has intimated that the name shall go to the senate with the next batch of treasury nom- inations, The only element of doubt there has been at any time about McShane's ap- pointment has been with the president, who has hesitated on account of objections lodged with him by certain prominent democrats at Omaha, The president has listened patiently to protests and charges against Mr, Me- Shane from some Omaha democrats, and has gone so far as to intimate that shouid he conclude not to appoint him he would give the position to Mr. Ijams, out, according to statements made to T BEE correspond- ent tonight, there has been little doubt at any time that Mr. McShane would get the position. Secretary Carlisle has been for him unw: ingly. Mr. Morton has most cordially endorsed him, and of course Na- tional Committeeman Castor has urged his appointment, Attorney General Olney intimates that Ne- braska willget a United States district attor- ney this week,but he will not venture to sug- gestthe lucky man. He intends tosce the president tomorrow morning and lay before him the names of various candidates and to select one from the list of six or eight. It may be that a district attorney and a post: master for Lincoln will be nominated about the same time a customs ofticer is announced for Omaha. Wilson and Henderson Dangerously Tl There are two prominent congressmen very ill in Washington tonight. They are Wiiliam [.. Wilson of West Virginia, chair- man of the ways and means committee and author of the tariff bill, und Colonel David B. Henderson of Towa, one of the most gifted republican leader: Mr. Wilson has almost worn himself out on the tariff bill. He is a delicate little man at best, and has kept in his committee room at work or at hus desk on the floor of tho housa, participating in the tariff discussion, when he chould have been in bed. He had a hemorrhagé of the lungs today. He may be in his seat in the house tomorrow. His anxiety for his tariff bill will take him there if hecan sit up, and_he may have crossed the river and entered the life be- yond before the sun rises. His condition is regarded as serious tonight. Colonel Hendersonilost a leg just below the knee in a battle during the late war and it has greatly troubled him of late years. He has suffered from gangrenc and had threc amputations. He is just now in great danger from blood poisoning. Colonel Hen- derson was in his seat in the house during the past weck and made onc of the most patriotic specches against the tariff bill ut- tered 8o fur. Ho then went to his room aud became ill. His condition is critical: an- other amputation may save his life. He is a Scotchman, bornon the soil, but an in- tensc American, a gallant man, a useful statesman and one of the wisest of republi- can leaders.

PeRry 3. HeATH. COMING EVENTS IN CONGRES! Features of the Tariff Debate for the Com- ing Weck, ‘WasmiNGToy, Jan. 21.—The coming week will see the conclusion of the tariff debate in the house. According to the special order the vouing on the bill and pending amend- ments will begin a week from tomorrow at noon. During the past week no amenduents of substantial importance have been voted on with any chance of adoption, except that fixing the date upon which free wool would go into effect, which was carried by the rad- ical democrats, with the aid of some repub- licans, over the protest of the democratic menfbers of the ways and means committee. ‘'his coming week, however, will witness the fight over the big amendments to be offered from thé democratic side. The full measure of the democratic opposition to the bill will then develop, and considerable bad blood will doubtless be manifested. The first fight will come on the sugar schedule tomorrow. Three hours have beeg set apart for the consideration of ithe propositions to be offered by the sugar men. Amendments In Plenty, Four amendments will be offered to the paragraph placing sugar on the free list 1f the present plan is adhered to. The first will be that of Mr. McRuo of Arkansas, to abolish the provision relating to the suzar bounty in the Wilson bill, which con- templates its gradual reduction a quarter of & cent a year for eight vears, until it is wiped out. * To this Mr. Price of Lousiaua, willoffer an amendment to substituto place of a bounty, a duty of I cant per pound on raw sugar. A substitute for this to re- tain the McKinley bounty of 2 cents will be offered by Mr. Meyer of Louisiana, and Mr. Boatner will offer an amendment to the sub- stitute to place a 1l cent duty on sugar. This will exhaust the amendments that can be pending. The vote will be taken in the reyerse order. The sugar men will make a strong on the ground that sugar and, in accordance with the Chicago platform, should able to fill the deficit, which, it is estimated, the customs schedules of the Wilson bill will cause. They will have the' support of all democrats who-are opposed to the income tax, including Mr. Cockran, Mr. Wilson and others of the, ways and means committee, While it is generally admitted thoy will probably be able to muster a majority of the democrats, the republicans, who are pledged to the free sugar features of the MeKinley law, will give them no aid. ‘fhe chances of the adoption of a sugar duty for the above reasous nre slim, fight a revenue article dictutes of the be made duti- Coul und froa Neheduls Tuesday has boun set apart for the consid- ation Of the amendments to the free 1 and iron ore schedules.

P Income and knternal Revenue, Later in the woek the internal revenuo ineiuding the, income tax, will probably be offered us an amendment, although this has not been dedded upon fully. It 1s thought this fight will boa feature of the debate, if the advoeates of the income tax are successfal, as they claim they will be, and it is puton thebiil asa rider. It will cause several democrits, at least, to vote against the entire measur Other amendments relating to the to- o schedule, lead ore, ete., and other minor amendments, 8s the' committee may offer, will consume the rest of the week. When the vote is taken it is probable a great number of amendments will have not recoived consideration, Mr. Richardson, the chairman of the committee of the whole, already has in his possession seventy-seven amendments, In tie Senate, The present indications are that the senate will divide its attention in the main this week between the federal eiections bill and the poliey of a bond issue, as decided upon by the sécretary of tho v There has now been & positive ag upon the rt of the republicans to continuc the dis- cussion of the elections bill and to take it up with & view to its ' final disposition. Man, of the republican senators have given publi assurance that theyt would not seck to delay the final vote upon ¢his beyoni a reasonable tamo for debate, and the fact that the repub- hean caucus took nu action looking to decid- ing upon a policy. eoncerning this measure would seem €0 indicate that no such course wilk be parsued. On the other hand, tho ontinued postpone- ment of the interrupted discussion of the subject would seem to indicate that there may be some design of brushing the subject aside by pleading for delay until the tariff bill shall reach the Senate, and to absorb its entire time with that. It is evident that the democratic leader have soma apprehesnston of a policy of this Kind, and are determined that'if suchd purpose is entertained it shall not succeed. Thay will have a double reason for insisting on proteading with the elec- tions debate this weck, first, that they are quite determined to dispose of the subject before the tariff bill is reached; and, se ond, that they wish to, as far as poss‘ble divert the specch-making in the senate from the bond question. Hence it may reason- ably be inferred that the program, as agreed to in the senate oi Thursday last, with re- spect to this bill, will be observed. Will Speak on the Bond lssue, Senator Lodge hac given formal notice of an intention to speak on the bond question Weanesday, and' Senators Hoar, Frye, Chandler, Higgins and Hawley have indi- cated they would ask to be heard upon the bill before it shall be definitcly disposed of. Among democrats wio will probably speak upon the bill are Sthators Gray and Hill. Tt will be lm{)elflhle to keep the bond question entirely out of the senate, and there is a possibility that it may be made the subject of a number of speeches, if not of considerable debate. Senators Peffer and Allen both have reso- lutions before the Benate tuking Secretary Carlisle to task forhis course, and Mr. Allen has given notice 6f a speech on Thursday based upon his resojution. Mr. Peffer's reso- lution will come up tomorrow in the morning hour and it may be fhe means of precipitat- ing this question the first thing in the week's proceedings. There are also other senutors primed with speeches ou the bond issuc, so it will be very surprising if theve is not as much attention g{&l en Lo bonds as any other subject before tho senate. Senator Call has A‘ en notice of a speech for tomorrow ‘on:tha subject of patents to certain lands in Figri1a. and it is probable Senator McMillagiw:'l ask to haye a part of some day 1n the weck set aside for eulogies ou the iute Represertative Chapman,' fag! il il g OBJECT TO THE UNIFORMS, Labor Organizatioas Don't Want Customs OMcers| Dresszd Up. WAHINGTOY, Jan, 3. —The treasury regu- lations, requiring inspection officers and em- ployes of the immigration service to be uni- formed, is meecting with some opposition from the representatives of labor organiza- tions and others interested in restricting the entrance into the United States of all im migrants not legally entitled to come heve. It is asserted by them that when a uni- formed inspection officer appears among a ship load of immigrants the latter will be able to tell immediately who he is by reason of his distinguishing dress, and will answer all his questions cautiously and guardedly, 80 a8 not to compromise themselves in any way. By going amoug the immigrauts in or- dinary dress the inspéctors, it 1s urged, can learn’ a great deal more about their condition and whbether they are com- ing here in violation of law. On the other hand, it is contended by those who have had practical experience in the matter that the uniforming of some of the inspectors is an absolute necessity. ‘Uhewr duties fre- quently requive them to go among the cabin passenzers and if not distinguished by some particular dress they are ignored and their questions remain unanswered. ‘I'he superin- tendent of immigration has some discretion in the matter, however, as the regulations require the unifornis to be worn, ‘unless otherwise specifically directed.” An effortwas made by a prominent reps sentative of lubor 1nterests to have Secre- tary Carhisle defef his avproval of the regulations, but he had the day before afixed his name to them. INTERNAL REVENUE BILL, Its Provisions Considered by Democrats of the Ways and Means Committee. WASHINGTON, Jan. 21.—There was a meet- ing this afternoon of the democratic mem- bers of the ways and means committee, Representatives McMillin, Whitney, T ney, Turner, Bynum and Bryan being pres. ent, Mr. Wilson was detained by illness in his family, The internal revenue tax bill was again_considered, but the meoting was entirely informal and no votes were taken, The bill will be reported to the full com- mittee Monday and to the house probably ‘Tuesday morning. Members of the minority in favor of making the bill a partof the vending tariff bill say a motion will be made soon after the billas placed upon the calen- dar to Wave . it eousidered at once as an nendment. This motion will probably bo made by Mre, MeMblin, chairman of the subcommittee which drafted the bill. These plans may bo overshrown at any time, cither by the act of, the democratic members who are opposed to an indeme tax, and who may vote with the republicans and defeat the measure in full commitiee, or by the refusal of Chairman Richandson'to recognize tho represcntative of the democratic minority members when he attempts to huve the biil taken from tne calendar and considered as an amendment. WERE OVERWEIGHT. 5 Pecullar in Which Armour & Co Are Sixed Up WasuiNaroy, Jan. 21— Secretary Carlisle has agreed to compromise a case arising under the imternal revenue bureau agninst Armour & Co, of Chicago. Sowe time ago it was ascertained the company wis un knowingly delivering to merchants packuges of butterine - containing prints which weighed a fraction of an ounce more than a pound and on which the tax had been paid av so much per pound. As soon as the mat- ter was reported to Arvmour headquarters thelr agent was at once sent to Washington to assist fn the investigation. It wasad mitted the pound packuges were overweight, but the clalm was submitted that it was the fault of the moulds. The compromise is that the company is 0 pay $115 us taxes on the overweight in the pilnis estimated to have been sent out. and §2,500 svecific penalty for a violavion of the law. This is not all of the company’s loss in the matter, howeve for to the above sum must be added the value of the excessive welght of butterine in the packages, which amountea 1 the ag- gregate to about 25,750 pounds, 10 FACE WITH WORK Towa Legislators Must Get to Business Early This Week. SOME MATTERS PENDING BEFORE THEM Prohibition Modification and Stute Revenues the Main Toples for Discussion and Ace tlon—Good Konds aud New State Iustitutions Proposed, Des Moises, Jan. 21.—[Special to Tum Bee. |—When the legi: ors return from their brief outing Tuesday and take up their duties in earnest, many grave and perplex- ing problems will demund their attention. The republican party, bavingm complete ma- Jority in both branches of the assenbly, will be held wholly responsible for whatover log- islation may be enacted. This foct is fully comprehended by the leaders in both houses, and the powgr of the party caucus will be specially invoked to bring order out of chuos and line up the members on some policy that will meet the iirements of the party platform. LThe first question is, how can prohibition be retained in the counties where the law is fairly well enforced while other sections are given the right to regulate the trafic, ana is forcing itsell upon the legislature for solu- tion. A wide diversity of ovinion among the membegs has already cropped out, and the prospects of a compromise satisfucto to the difforent elements are dubious. The probibitionists will mako the fight upon what they term the princivle of pro hibition. They openly prociaim, in the lan guage of ex-Governor Larrabee, that *“Ihe legalized saloon shall nover agaiu find u footing upon the soil of Iowa,” and propose to fight it out on this line regardless of the result, They are willing to add a “‘muict” tax to the present law as an_additional pen- alty, but will go no farther in this direction. On the other hand the representuatives from those sections in which the law is partly or wholly disregarded are just as firm in demanding some form of license. They will be satisfled with local option by coun- ties as embodied in the Gateh bill, but can accept nothing less. In the preliminary struggle in the two houses, which has already taken place, the local option forces secm to have tae best of it in the senate, but the prohibitionists claim to have scored a signal victory in the house in the make up of the committees, Many of the ablest lawyers in both houses entertain grave doubts as to the constitutienality of either of the plans proposed, and this point will be fully and ably debated before any agreement can be reached. The democrats are suying nothing, Théy seem to be willing to let the republicans ‘settie the matter among themsclves. However, should it come to a fight on the floor of the house, the democratic contingent, with possibly a single exception, will be found ranged upon the side of local option and high license. Has a Financlal Problem. The state's finances will demand consid- erable attention from the law makers. The " reform legislature of 1888, under the lead of Hon. J. G. Berryhill, chairman of the house committee on apyropriations, succcede aftera hard straggle, in bringing the bi- ennial expenditures within the estimated r ceipts from a 2 mill levy. and in providing o sinking fund for the redemption of all out- standing warrants. Under . the operations of this policy, aided by the refund of the direct war tax of §384,000 frem the general government, the state has gradually retired its interesv-bearing obligations until it1s now entirely free from debt, with a_com- fortable balance in the treasury. The so- called “niggardly policy” of 1888 failed to meet the approbation of the members of the last general assembly, which decided upon expenditures of an _extraordinary nature, largely in excess of the estimated revenues, and asa result this legislature must either adopt the “Berryhill plan” or provide for an increase in taxation amount- 10g to at least §00,000. The auditor of state recommends a half mill extra levy, on all the taxable property of the state, while many members of the legislature will advocate a collateral in- heritance tax of from 5 to 10 per cent; u franchise tax of one-quarter of 1 per cent; and an adaitional tax of from 1 to 2 per cent, on the gross receipts of insurance companies, as recommended by the revenue commission, a bill of this character having already been introduced into both houses, “The total sum available for extraordinary appropriations, as estimated by the auditor of state, is £700,000, while the special appro- priations asked for are more than double that amount. Good roads will also be considered. Half a dozen bills on this subject are alveady in the hands of the state printer, and there are more to follow. Senator Hipwell of Scott county proposes to levy a 1 mill state tax for this purpose, while others simply require the farmers to pay their entire roaa tax in cash, ana provide for the election of one supervisor for the whole township, abolish- ing the present district system. There 1s still another scheme on foot to authorize the counties to vote bonds for the purpose of macadamizing theiv principal thoroughfaves, but this plan will meet with strenuous op position. Some of the more economical members are insisting that provisions should be made by which the whole force of crim nals, both iu the penitentiaries and county jails, can be utilized in this manner, and no tramp or vagrant should be allowed to go frec until he had paid the costs and ex- penses of lis arrest by hard labor on the stone pile Some years ago the laws of the state, as codified” by Miller and by McLainswere adopted by the state. Since that time thero has been considerable rivalry as to which of these codes should be supplied to the mem bers of the legislature at each biennial ses- sion. This competition has heretofore forced the price down to 6 and & per copy. ‘There has been a hitch somewhere in the arrange- ment, and a member stated on tho floor of the house that some ono had surreptitiously purloined the plates of Miller's code, 50 that it is practically out of print. His 55 ful rival hus, at any rate, vaised the price from & to #)—to cover alleged supploments —which the house, led by ex-Speaker Mitch qll, does not yropose to pay. ‘The outcome of the affair will probably bo a recoditication of the laws aud their publication by the state. New state Institutions, An effort will be made by members of this legislature to establish several new state in- stitutions. Lemars, Algona and & dozeu other places want normal schools, while Cherokee is aftor an wsane asylum for the northwestern part of the state. More state offices are also in sight. Rep- resentative Root of Clinton county has in- troduced a bill providing for an insurance commission, with & deputy and sove clerks, and Chassell of Plymouth connty wants to create 1 oftice known as the *‘con: troller of county accounts.” Of the fifty bills so far introduced in either houso not a siugle one rofers in nny manner to railways except the revenue bill “Phe appointment of clerks 1o the various standing committees has excited more than usual comment.

Thirty- eight committee clerks have already been appointed by the senate and the endis ne yel. Inthe lower house only twenty-four have 8o far succeeded in gétting upon tho pay roll, but there are others on the anxious seat looking for a job and expecting to be re warded for political services who will haraly be left out I the cold.

Al dab excited crowds have thronged the streets and mob law has pre- vailed, The police have been setut defiunce, amd a crowd of angry men has ruled the town. The rioting was one of the results of the discharge of five employes of the Bridgeport Tviction company yeste day and the strike which followed. About 100 employes of the company stopped work yesterday, tying up the road. They held numerous meetings and sent a committee to the munagers of the road inan effort to bring about a settlement.

The men held a long consultation, and decided they would nov allow this. They conciuded, however, to give the company another chance for settle- ment, and sent a committee to vhe owners and managers of tho rond. ‘They were de- nied an audience, the managers refusing to meet them as a committee or give reasons for the discharge of the men, volunteers Resotved to Stop the Cars.
