In thoe federal court the .trial of the $10,- 000 damage case of Mrs. Christina Hansen against tho cities of Lincoin and University Place and the Lincoln Street Railway com- pany was resumed yesterday afternoon and continued today. It will be remembered that the plaintiff claimed that in 1802 she was_crossing a narrow bridge at the inter- section of Thirty-third sireet and Baldwin avenuo, and hearing a team approaching be- hind hern the darkness she stepped aside to let 1t pass. There was no handrail on the bridge and as iv was narrow she stepped over the side of it into the ditch, breaking three ribs, injuring her spine and rendering her an invalid ever since, As the bridge was built or occupied by the streot railway company on the line between the city and University Place, the three were sued jointly. The testimony in the case introduced in behalf of the plaintiff was to theeffect thatthe streetrailway com- pany built the bridge, and also that the ac- cident complained of occurred on the Uni- versity Place end of the structure. In view of these facts Judge Dundy this morning suggested thut a verdict should be rendered immediately in favor of the city, and said that if no objections were raised he would 80 instruct the jury. The attorneys for all parties consented, and a verdict absolving the city from hability was rendered, where- upon the court proceeded to hear the trial of the case against the other defendants.

Demcorats Are Determined tha This Product £hall Bo Absolutely Free, WILL HAVE NO BOUNTY NOR PROTECTICN Declsion of the Majority of the House that Nelther Producer Nor Refiner Shall Have Any Favor May Pass the Senate. WasnixoroNy Bureav or Tur Ber, } GTON, Jan. The expected happened, and after the free trade democrats wiped away at a single stroke all of the sugar bounty and all pro- tections to the producers of sugarin this y the other sido turned around and made sure of the defeat of the proposition to give protection to that great monopoly, the Sugar trust. Thus the house has de- cided, by an overwhelming majority, that sugar of all grades shall be absolutely free. It is generally conceded that the sugar schedule as it stands will go to the senate, and nearly all of the democrats and republicans on the ways and means commit- tee believe that the sugar schedule as it stands will become law ; that even under the guise of a tariff for revenue only the senate will refuse to put any duty upon raw sugar, and certainly without o duty on the raw or any bounty to the producer the friends of protection will refuse to protect the Sugar trust. If the proposition to place income taxes in the Wilson bill prevails in the house and is held into it in the senate it js generally con- ceded tonight that the chances of the de- feat of the iff bill are so good as to be almost certain. Henry T. Oxnard, the beet sugar manufacturer of Nebraska, says if the bill is not defeated it will wipe out the sugar industry in this country. Pottigrew’s Sioux Treaty Bill. Senator Pettigrew has had on his desk for some days a copy of his bill sometime ugo favorably reported from the committee on Indian affairs, ratifying the agreement of 1892 made with the Yankton Sioux Indians in South Dakota.

Senator Pettigrew is certain that the meas- ure will bo adopted as soon as it is reached, and that it must be reached within a week. ‘The chiefs and head men and members of the Yankton Sicux, to the number of sixty- five, have petitioned congress through the secretary of the interior for immediate ac- tion upon this bill. They state that they are in a suffering condition; that for two successive seasons they have had short crops and are now almost without anything to live upon; that they agreed to the treaty which disposes of all their surplus lands to the government, which, in turn, throws the lands open to settlemént under the homestead laws, with the understand- ing that the money would be paid to them without delay, but they realize that the money cannot be paid to them until the Pettigrew bilt, ratifying the agreement and making the appropriation, is passed; there- they beg immediate congressional action. They also ask that the next annual the sheriff and _now the intention was to have it sold by a speefal master. This afternoon Judge Keysor will pass upon the merits of the case and in tho meantimo the salo will stand adjournbe: Willlam Lighton seeks to recover the sum of 81,000 from H.J.

Vice President Stevenson’s recent visit to Albany, N. Y., with Senator David B. Hill has started the report that these two demo- crats have effected a combine which is to secure.the presidential nomination in 1506; that the nomination is to go to Hill if possi- ble, if not, to Stevenson. The latter’s re- iations to Mr. Cleveland are friendly, butre- served, quite similar to the relations which characterized the connections between Mr. Cleveland and Mr. Hendricks of lndiana. ‘The policies and methods of Hill and Steve: son are quite similar, while those of Cleve- land and Stevenson run at right angles.

Should a caucus be called the income tax men are confidont ot com- manding a majority for making the tax bill a rider on the Wilson bill. 1If, however, the caucus is not catled the income tax amena- ment will be offered by Representative Hull of Missouri, who lius been active in framing the measure. Mr. Hall has been instru mental in, preveuting any arrangement of special hours in such a as would shut off the income tax amendment during the pr ent week. He has hoped to et two for arguing the measure, but it is doubtful if 50 much time will be given when so many amendments are pressing. The report has been circulated that Speaker Crisp would rule out the income tax proposition as not a germane amendment to the Wilson bill. report is unfounded, however. M. sp is not in the chair during tho tariff ae- ate, as Mr. Richardson of Tenne i erving as chairman of the committe whole. Yet Speaker Crisp quickly disposed of the report when called to his attention by pointing out thatthe special rule of the tariff debate made the income tax amendment per- fectly germane, Pence's Populist £roposal, Representative Pence of Colorado haif of the populist element in congr: offer an amendment to the income tax bill hen it 18 under consideration in the house. “The amendment he proposcs does not change vhe phraseology of the bill as reported, but instead of a general 2 per cent on incomes it provides for a graduated income tax, on the following plan: On incomes of from $2.500 10 £10,000 4 tax of 1 per cent; on £10,000 to 230,000, 2 per cent ; on £30,000 to 860,000, 3 per cent; on £0.000 sto $100,000, 4 per cent;on incomes of over 2100,000, 5 per cent. Mr. Pence sa, he third party plat- formcalls for a graduated income tax. From a political standpoint, therefore, we would have been justificd 1 offering our graduated plan first. “ But wo prefer to carry some of the income tax, even 1f we don't vet our own plaa of graduated scale. For that reason we will wait for the income tax amendment and will then offer them our substitute. 1f they drop it, well and good if not, we will help them carry their plan Attitude of tho Knights. ‘I'he decision of the Knights of Labor to attempt to get an injunction restraining Secretary Carlisle from issuing the 5 per cent bonds is still a subject of comment in ‘Lreasury department circles. There is still practically no change 1n the opinion hereto- fore noted in these dispatches that such proceedngs will not have any standing in court. Certainly this opmion prevailed as to the simple question of assailing the authority of the secretary to issue bonds under the act of 1875 to replenish the gold reserve. Asio whether the money thus obtawwed could be used for other purposes than redemption of greenbacks was ad- mitted to be an undecided question. As the secretary has used theso-called gold reserve to the extent of $30,000,000, and no one has sought by legal methods to question its action, it seems to the treasury officials that this matter need give him no concern. It is held by some treasury oficials that there now exists no gold reserve, the fund that originally made it up having been more than exhausted by the redemption of the United States treasury notes. An ofticer of the department 1o speaking to a reporter re- arding the proposed action of the Knights of Labor, pointed out the serious effects upon the governmery business that would result if such proceedings should ob- tain standing in the courts, The result he said would be that the government's hands would be frequently tied and its business operations would bé frequently interrupted.

A spirited contest over the recently es- tablished system of detailing army officers to ofticiate as Indian agents is on foot in the house committee on Indian affairs, and may be transferred to the floor. Representative Pickler of South Dakota has precipitaied the fight by a bill stipulating that none but civilians shall be appointed to these posts, member of the committee is enlisted for or against the new system, its adherents conntending that army officers are better qualified to deal with the Indians, less sub- ject to improper influences and their service saves a special salary list, The opponents of the plan declare that the army officers are disposed to be arbitrary and harsh, lack business experience, and tnat the army is vot designed for such ervice. If the Pickler bill fails of endorsement by the com- mittee its supporters threaten to attach an amendment excluding army officers from eligibility to the Indian clause of appropria- tions.
