An Omaha woman giving her name as Edna M. Koehler told the cief of police a story this morning that bears all the marks of a sensation. At noon yesterday she was nveyed to the police station in a hack. She claims to have arrived in Lincoln Tues- day night from Omaha on her way to Ulysses. AU the depot she got into a hack and re- quested the driver to take her to a lodging Youse. The hackman was accommodating and drove her to the Hall-Lansing block, where he secured a room for her and also a companion, who assisted ler to while away the tedious hours of the night. When her ‘“friend” left her she was beastly intoxicated, and when she recovered ghe claimed that she had been robbed of $30 in cash and a gold watch and chain. She was elegantly dressed in expensive tailor- made clothing and wore a long, plush cloak of late specification. The police judge was not visibly impressed with her story, how- ever, and he fined her $1 and costs for drunkenness. CHARGED WITH EMBEZZLEMENT. D. W. Smith, postmaster at the little town ©f Lyons, was arrested and brought before Undge Dundy today on the charge of embez- zlement. Smith has been postmaster for five pears and has always borne an excellent reputation. He is a hopeless cripple, having been twisted almost out of human shape by cercbro spinal menengitis. It was during Nis long and serious illness, covering a period of five months, that the Irregulari- ties rred. He had failed to deposit the money coming into his possession, as re- wuired by the federal statutes. During his Sliness a postofiice inspector visited Lyons und, discovering the state of affairs, re- ported him. Smith is short in his accounts §491. His condition has excited a great deal pf pity.

VOORHEES' FUNNY CALENDAR Ohairman of the Senate Finance Committee Gets His Holy Days Mixed. WAS EAGER TO UTILIZE GOOD FRIDAY His Plan to Smash the Sugar Trust is Meet. ng General A hation Among Colleagues—For a Heavier Tax on Beer. WASHINGTON BUREAU OF THE 513 Fourteenth Street, WASHINGTON, Feb. 8. The laugh was on Semator Voorhees around the capitol today. Shortly after the senate convened he entered a motion that when the senate adjourned it be to next Monday, and the motion prevailed. In ex- planation of his motion the Hoosler senafor observed that he thought it best to adjourn | until riday. Monday, because ‘‘tomorrow is No one questioned the stat shortly after the motion was fact precolated through the minds of senators that Good Friday comes Just before Easter Sunday. Mr. Voorhees was probably thinking of the work of the finance committee on the tarifft bill and thought Good Friday would be a good time to finish up that economic measure so that it could be reported to the full committee early next week, as it is the intention to make the con- tents of the senate tariff bill public within the next six or eight days. It would that Chairman Voorhees meant what he said a few days ago when ho declared that he intended to do every- thing he could to smash the Sugar trust. The senator has a program in mind which if carried out may succeed in effectually strangling the trust. It is to propose to the full finance committee when the bill comes up for final disp ion an amend nt 10 the sugar schedule, providing that raw sugar shall pay 114 cents per pound and re- fined sugar 1 cent per pound, making a dis- crimination of. a quarter of a cent against the refiners. The senator says that if m bers of both political parties are really rarnest in their desire to smash the Sugar trust they will vote for this proposition and the trust will have to go out of business as s0on as the bill becomes law. HIS LEAD WILL BE FOLLOWED. There is no doubt that the renuslicaas in the senate will cheerfully follow Chairman Voorhees in his efforts to destroy the trust, and it might be added that th quite as cheerfully follow him in any effort to destroy the Whisky trust, but they will not join him in his proposition to extend thé bonded period of whisky or to increase the tax upon whisky without making that in bond pay the increase $ Mr. Havemeyer, at the head of the Sugar trust, has been here several days trying to induce the finance committec ve some protection to sugar refiners, but all of his overtures have been rejected. He has finally begged for a discriminating duty of 1 mill per pound upon refined sugar, claiming that there is a loss to that extent in re- fining, but it does not look now as though there could be the least favor shown the trust, and there are many who believe that Chairman Voorhees! proposition to strangle the trust by indirect legislation may prove successful. ~ There can now be no_ doubt whatever that an extension of the borded period will be refused whisky and the goods in bond must any addition that ma made to the tax. Senator Jones of Arkansas, a democratic member of the subcommittee of the finance committee preparing the senate tariff bill, is carnestly advocating an_ increase of the tax n beer. He says the beer tax can be in- creased to produce $30,000,000 annually, and that the brewer and retailer will have to pay it. He says the proposed tax on whisky is altogether out of proportion to the beer tax. Nearly all of the southern men in congres are in favor of an increase of the beer tax. PERSONAL AND GENERAL. J. J. MeInerney, an influential democratic cditor of Alton, 1iL, is here with other citizens of the Sucker state, and they an- nounce that the democracy of Illinois will in 1896 present the name of Colonel William R. Morrison, who figured conspicuously in con- gressional tarifl reform a few years ago, and who is at present a member of the Inter- state Commerce commission, for the presi- dential nomination. They declare that Illinois is solid for Morrison; that he is the father of tariff reform, and that the west is no longer for the Cleveland type of democracy. E. B. Foster was today appointed post- master at Kelley, Story county, la., vice A. Worthman, removed, and C. H. Shircliff, at Solon, Johnson county, Ia., vice J. C. New- comb, resigned; P. C.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 8.—Some members of the semate finance committee yes- terday admitted that the democratic members of the committee had or- dered the printing of a draft of a tarift bill agreed upon by them. This bill, it is sald, makes libcral concessions to the sugar and coin interests and also makes a material change in the income tax feature of the house bill, providing for a tax only upon the incomes of corporations. Among the rumors affecting this is one that the income tax is omitted. If the income tax is retained it will command the vote of the populist senators, which it would other- wise have lost. Senator Martin said in case over Good ment, but adopted the seem fect work. N | postmaster general. the tax wae ommitted he would feel tempted to vote against the bill outon SILVER AND THE T RIFF, Position of the Republican T hite Metallists in the Senate DEfn WASHINGTON, Feb.' 8-The possible at- titude of the silver repibfitans with refer- ence to the tarift bill hAs(Men the theme of considerable talk about thekenate since the Wilson bill reached thdt body.

While, however, the silver republican senators will oppose the bill, will vote against it and will make special efforts to lefeat the clauses bearing upon the special nterests of their respective states, it, is probable that some of them will not aid thelr republican colleagues in securing delay upon the passage of the bill A member of the subcommittee democratic members of the senate finance committes said today that the tariff bill would be reported to the majority members of the committee next week of the BOND SUBSCRIPTIONS, Some of the Offerings that Have Been Made to t retary of the Tre ¥.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 8—There are not enough men enlisted in the navy to properly man the United States ships which will go into commission before the 1st of May, and, moreover, the limit allowed by law will not permit the enlistment of a sufficient number. The big cruisers Columbia and Olympia, the Marblehead and Montgamery, the Atlanta and Boston, Raleigh, Cincinnati, Alert and Marion are all to be manned, requiring about 1,500 men. ~ About’ half that number is available. Additional authority will be re- quired from congress to enlist enough men, and Secretary Herbert will probably lay the matter before that body Trade in Breadstuffs with England.

Dennis, | WRECKED 0N RONCADO REEF One of the Famous Vessels of the Navy Meets with Disaster. LOSS OF THE OLD WARSHIP KEARSARGE On Her Way from Haytl to Nicaragua She Struck on & Dangerous Roek in Caribbean Sea — OMeers Crew All Saved. the and WASHINGTON, Feb, §.—The old United States ship Kearsarge is a wreck on Ron- cado reef. She struck there Febru Lieutenant Brainard managed in some to reach Colon today and a cable message from him this morning announced to the Navy department the fact that the Kearsarge was wrecked and that the officers and crew were all saved The Kearsarge sailed from Port-au-Prince, Haytt, on January for Bluefield, gua, to protect American inters She was wrecked three days out. Roncado reef is a little over 200 miles front the Mosquito coast off Central America Between the coast and the reef lies Old Providence island, seventy-five or eighty miles to leeward of the reef. It is believed at the Navy department that the officers and ¢ would be able to reach Old Provi- dence without difficulty in case they were in anger of their lives on the reef, but it is belleved that they would be safe on the reef except in event of very rough weather. It is the impression also at the department that the Kearsarge has not gone to pieces may not do so for some time h weather comes up and currents about the swift and dangerc Immediately upon receipt of the news of the wreck the Navy department sent a cable spatch to Lieutenant Brainard at Colon or dering mer and proceed at once to the relief of the shipwrecked crew. The Roncado reef is well known tc mariners in those waters as a dangerous im pediment to navigation. Efforts have been tecently made to secure the erection of a on this point je time ago Warner Miller and officers of the Nic- a canal were on their way to Nicara #ua they were wrecked oa this same point Admiral Stanton was on the Kearsarge When the New York and Detroit were dis. patched to Rio she was made the flagship of the North Atlantic squadron and Admiral Stanton, after the secretary of the navy had acted on his report of the salute of Mello in Rio bay, was ordered to proceed to Port-au- Prince and there transfer his flag to the rsarge and assume comnfand of the sta- tion It is conjectured that the Kearsarge went aground on the reef at night and foundered Lieutenant Brainard seems to have got aboard a small boat and succeeded in get- ting to Colon in six days. The relief can reach the wrecked ship in less time than that. The officers aboard the Kearsarge were Admiral Stanton, Lieutenants Charles A. Foose, Charles H. Lyman, Burls, Walling, Lieutenants (junior grade) John Hood and F .R. Brainard, Ensigns Herbert G. Gates and Thomas P. McGrunder, Naval Cadets (line_ division) Leon S. Thompson, Thomas L.

She left the Brooklyn navy yards on Decem- ber 31. way Vicara there unless although the tide reef are always TO RESCUE THE CREW. The chief of the bureau of navigation has instructed Lieutenant Brainard at Colon to either charter a steamer or _secure one of the regular mail steamers to New York, or if one of the latter was to start immediately on her regular trip to secure her to touch at Roncador and take up the crew. The wreck adds another to the misfor- tunes which have of late befallen Rear Ad- miral Stanton. He was summarily relieved from command of the South Atlantic sta- tion for saluting Mello, the insurgent ad- miral, and ordered to Washington. His explanation of his act caused Secretary Her- bert to detach him from command of the South Atlantic by placing him in command of the home station. He sailed from New York January 10 and joined the Kearsarge at Port au Prince the latter part of the month. As soon as the ship's company has been transported to a place of safety and the Kearsarge's condition s definitely known, a court of inquiry will be appointed to investi- gate the circumstances and fix the responsi- bility. The officers say the ship's company are in no danger. They will be able to get along all right until the arrival of re- Tief. The navigation of a naval vessel rests en- tirely with her commander and his assist- ants, and the admiral never interferes with the matter. He directs the general move- ments of the flagship from place to place, but leaves the details of the route entirely to the commanding officer. Therefore it would appear that Commander Heyman would be held responsible for the loss of the vessel. He will look to the officers of the deck at the time of the wreck for a complete explanation of the circumstances, Exactly who was at fault will not be known here until full details : e DeWitt's Witch Hazel Salve cures piles.
