THE OMAHA SORROW FOR FRANK HATTON | Towa People in Washington Siucerely Mourn the Dead Editor, PECULIAR CHAIN OF CIRCUMSTANCES Paralysis Has Stricken Threo of the Most Distinguished Hawkeyos at the National Capital — What Nebraskans Are Dolng 1n Congre WASHINGTON BUREAU OF THE B 1407 F Str V WASHI 0. Sincere sorrow of the most heartfelt na- ture pervades the hearts and homes of all B, fowa men in Washington on account of the | sudden termination of the active career of Frank Hatton. No man from the Hawkeye state has had so many sincere, warm friends in this city for many years, except the late General Belknap, whom everybody loved and respocted. It upon by many guished sons of singular fact, commented that both of these distin- Towa died, as also the- late Associate Justice Samuel Miller of Towa, by strokes of paralysls. General Belknap died alone In his rooms on Sunday night, and was not discovered until the following Mon- day morning. Justice Miller fell in the stroet within half a block of his home. Frank Hatton was stricken in his editorial room, but managed, by a supreme effort, to call through a speaking tube for aid before he fell helpless beside his table. There never lived a truer friend than Frank Hatton. There never lived a manlfer foe. Many a heart will lament him, and his Towa friends will often sigh for the sound of the voice which is stilled, for the clasp of his vanished hand. FOR THE NIOBRARA BRIDGE. Representative Meiklejohn today called up bis bill authorizing the reconstruction of the bridge across the Niobrara river at Niobrara, which was partially destroyed by ice a year ago. He asked unanimous con- sent for its consideration, which was given, and the bill was passed, carrying an appro- priation of $7,000. This is the first measure passed for Nebraska during this session which has carried an appropriation. Representative Mercer had quite a_compli- ment paid him on last Saturday. There is now a vacancy on the committee on the District of Columbia, and some of Mr. Mer- cer's frlends on the democratic side went to the speaker, asking that he be appointed to the vacancy. Speaker Crisp said this would be Impossible, because Mr. Mercer is already & member of one important committee, that of public bulldings and grounds. The speaker, however, said he would offer Mr. Mercer his choice of the two committees. This was an unusual favor for the speaker to bestow upon him, because he is a republican and a new member in the house Mr. Mercer has de- clded to remain a member of the committee on public buildings and grounds, Mr. Kem's bill for a resurvey of the counties of Grant and Hooker » was reported favorably today. He would have sueceeded in passing it but for an objection interposed by Mr. Enloe of Ten- fiessee, who says ha will hereafter object to all unanimous consent legislation. Minister to Austrla Judge Bartlett Tripp of Yankton was at the capitol today and was intfoduced to several members by Mr. Pick- ler. Mr. Pickler appeared before the house committee on Indian affairs this morning and persuaded it to include in the Indian appro- priation bill provisions for a general superin- tendent of Indian schools, which the commit- tee had heretofore intended to dispense with in the bill. NEBRASKA LOCAL MATTERS. Mr. Hainer this morning appeared before the subcommittee of the house committee on military affairs in behalf of a bill for the relief of William Hengy Johnson of Ceresco Tho subcommittee will report. the bill favor- ably to the full committee. Senator Manderson today offered in the senate a proposed amendment to the sundry civil appropriation bill. The amendment will authorize the sccretary of the interior to revise and adjust the sales of lands in tha late reservation of the confederated Otoe and Missouri tribes of Indians in the states of Nebraska and Kansas, as by the act of con- gress approved March 3, 1893, The senator also presented a memorial of officers and stockholders of Nebraska loan and building associations of Omaha protest- ing against the adoption of the clause in the Wilson bill proposing to tax quarterly in- comes of mutual loan and building asso- clations. The president Is expected to make en ap- polntment in the matter of the receiver of the land office at McCook within a short time. This appointment will undoubtedly go to elther Spearman of McCook or Patrick Gibbons of Orleans. Spearman s expected to be in Washington within & few days, and while here he will look after his clalms for the office. Minister Bartlett Tripp loft the city this ovening for his home in Yaukton. Pefore leaving he stated to The Bee corrcspondent that it was an absolute corcainty thac the hung-up South Dakota nominations weuld all be confirmed. He thought the postcfce committee would at its moeting tenicrro report fayorably the nomination of Dr. Turner, and would later take similar action in the case of Mr. Tinsley. NEW POSTMASTERS. The following postmasters were appointed today: Nebraska—Georgetown, Custer coun- ty, James Welch, vice Walter A. George, resigned; Triumph, Custer county, Frederick Schreyer, vice William Engels, resigned Walther, Boyd county, Willlam G. Prescott, vice Jacob Milberger, resigned; Wheeler, Wheeler county, George N. Bishop, vico Henry J. Hads, resigned. Towa—Concord, Hancock county, J. W. _ Elder, vice Charles Ford, removed.

None of the Fourteen R B como Law WASHINGTON, April 30.—But two months remain before the new fiscal year begins; yet not one of the fourteen annual appro- priation bills have passed both houses and been sent to the president for his approval. There is, however, nothing extraordinary in this as the consideration of the appropria- tion bills Is always delayed for a longer period in the first regular session of a con- gress than in the second or short session when an adjournment on March 4 s neces- sitated by the constitutional limitation. The cause of the delay is found partly in the fac that during the long session, legislation in # keeping with party promises or party pol is brought to the front whilo In the short session little more than the passage of the appropriation bills is attempted. Chalrman Sayers of the house committee on appropriations says that the work ov the appropriation bills {s further advanced this year than it was at the same time two years ago. The house, Le says, has passed seven of the fourteen bills making appropriations for the fiscal year 1894-95, whereas on May 1, two years ago, but six appropriation bills had been acted on by the body in they must by law originate. Two years not a single one of the fourteen bills had become a law at the beginning of the fiscal year for which they made appropriations and a jaint resolution had to be passed ex- tending the provisions of the then existing laws for a perlod up to which the new ap- propriations were available. WIith the pr pect of a lengthy tariff debate in the senat the expectation s that similar action will have to be taken, at least with respect to some of the appropriations, during the pres- ent session. The following statement shows the legislative condition of each of the ap- propriation bills awaiting action In the sen ate; passed by the house and under consid- eration the senate committ on appro- priations Pensions, fortification mill Y academy, postoflice, sundry civil, District of Columbla and consular and diplomatic bills.

The former will not be ready In several weeks, while the preparation of the latter is alw delayed for the purpose of Including, as far as may be doemed desirable, all the de- flciencies that may have occurred during the year. No less than four urgent deficlency bills have been passed during the prosent sesslon of congress and recelved the execu- tive sanction, COKE PRODUCTION THE YEAR, Heavy Deel ns Compared with Last Your Excopt in West Vieginia, WASHINGTON, April 30.—Special Agent Joseph D. Weeks of the United States geo- detic survey has made a report concerning the production of coke fn the Appalatehian reglon during 1503, The total production was 9,460,310 sh tons, agalnst 12,000,820 tons for 1802, The large reduction Is due to the depression in the blast furnace in dustry. The only section of the United States In which there was a material In- crease,in coke production was the Flat Top district In West Virginia. The total amount produced there during the year was 451,321 tons, against 335,696 in 1892, Large quan- tities _of the coke from this fleld were ahipped to Chlcago and points on the Ohio river, which more than made up the loss of demand from markets previously used by that coke region. Pennsylvania retains first rank as a coke state, Alabama second, while Hlinofs gave the smailest product. The high- est value for the product is reported in Montana at $9 a ton and the lowest in Geor- gla at $1.50 a ton. The yleld of coal in coke was 63t% per cent, and the amount used In the manufacture of coke was 14, 845 short tons. The aggregate production o coke-made pig Iron was 5,390,184 tons, against 6,822,266 for the previous year, and mixed anthracite and coke pig iron, 1, 529 tons, agalnst 1,797,113 tons for 189: number of coke manufacturing establishments was 257, and the ovens used numbered 44,180, while 717 were in course of construction.

LAPY ACE SENATOR HILL Senator McFPherson Vigorously Resents the Langunge of the New York Leader. WASHINGTON, April 30.—(Special Tele- gram to The Bee.)—Senator Hill, according to the Washington Times, has had his face slapped. The paper in its issue today tells the story this way: “Senator Hill had his face slapped. Semator McPherson did the slapping. The story has been scrupulously guarded, but how In the world it has been Kept out of the public press for some three weeks or more is a mystery. The affalr occurred in the room of the committee on immigration, of which both senators are members. 1 have been unable to learn the full particulars of the case, but It seems that the august leader of New York democracy undertook to chatechize the lengthy Solon from Mosquito land and in so doing employed the caustic criticism and biting persiflage of which he is the master. The latter re- sented Senator Hill's attitude and manner, and a heated wordy colloquy ensued, which culminated in Senator McPherson slapping Hill's face. It was not a straight-from-the- shoulder Corbett biff, nor was it a gentle love tap. It caused the chaste check of the re- cipient to take on a ruddy glow. It must have stung, for the man who gave It is long armed and wiry, and I am told was fighting mad and ready to scrap. Before he could follow up this preliminary, however, the col- leagues of the belligerents interfered and hustled Senator McPherson off into the hall to cool off. “The funny part of the affair lies in a little side dencuement. As a matter of course the New York senator felt grossly insulted. but for political and other obvious reasons hesitated before taking the usual course and demanding satisfaction by trial of arms or otherwise, so he called upon his friend, Joo Blackburn, in the latter's committee room, and after relating the circumstance, said: *‘Now, Blackburn, what would you do in s case? Give me your advice' ““What would T do? sald the Kentucklan with force, ‘What did you do? I would have done it then and there; it's too late now to do anything.' " DAY'S WORK OF THE HHOUSE. Melklejohn Gets the Niobrara Bridge B Through. WASHINGTON, April 30.—When the house met at nosn today, Mr. Meiklejohn of Ne- braska called up the bill for the construection of a bridge across the river Niobrara, near the town of Niobrara, Neb., and it was passed. At 12:20 the house went into committee of the whole, to consider the army appro- priation bill, Mr. Outhwaite offered a commlittee amend ment that no appointment of an assistant adjutant general, with the rank of major, should be made until the number of oficers in that grade had been reduced below four, and that hereafter, there should be only four officers in sald grade, and that future promotions in adjutant generals, paymasters and similar branches should be filled from the next lowest grades. The amendment was agreed to by a vote of to 38 The appropriation for the purchase of ma chine gups of the improved musket caliber was raised from $10,000 to $20,000. The committee of the whole arose and the bill, with amendments, was reported to the house, and at 5:11 p. m. It passed.

HOOSIER SAYS THE RHODE ISLANDER LIED Aldrich Makes & Mild Reply—Income Tax Will Remain in the Bill-No Actual Progress Made With the Tarlft Measure. | WASHINGTON, April 30.—~Senator Harrls, who Is In charge of the tariff bill, lost patience today at the way In which progress was impe by S or Hale in the morn- ing hour. 8 on several preceding days, Mr. Hale objected to giving way for special measures in the morning. Finally, Mr. Har- ris abruptly asked that the senate proceed with the consideration of the tariff bill. Mr. Wolcott interposed a question as to whether the committee now intended to re- port amendments which would change the whole scope and character of the bill. He had understood Mr. Harris that the changes were to be made, and Mr. Voorhees to deny it. This gentle prod, however, did not force the hand of the Tennessee senator, who said he could not say exactly what amendments were to be proposed. Mr. Aldrich d it was due to the senate and the country that they should know what bill was to be considered. House bill 4,864," Interjected Mr, Harris, sharply. “Yes," replied Mr. Aldrich, “with the m:lcxll{moms, but when are they to be sub- mitted ?"" ““When we get ready,” sald Mr. Gray, from his seat. Mr. Hill submitted an observation or two which did not seem to please his democratic colleagues. The senator from Rhode Island (Aldrich), he sald, appeared disturbed about anticlpated amendments, It occurred to him, he said, that inasmuch as the tariff bill had passed from the Jurisdiction of the finance committee, amendments reported from that committee would net be entitled to any more consideration than individual amendments, and would have no more par- llamentary privilege. ALDRICH THINKS IT STRANGE. Mr. Aldrich admitted this was true in a parliamentary sense, but perhaps might not be true of this committee. Then, taking a paper from his desk, containing the Asso- clated press interview with Secretary Car- lisle, printed in the morning papers, he sald he thought it a strange coincidence that the executive officers of the government | seemed always in possession of advanced in- formation regarding the progress of tariff reform. =~ President Cleveland, {n his mes- | sage, told the country in advance what the son bill was to contain, and now Carlisle came forward with this advance information about the harmonizing of democratic dis- cord—information, he volunteered, which was In conflict with the recent statement of the chairman of the finance committee. M:; Vest raised the polnt of order that new. paper interviews could not be dragged into the senate chamber, but Vice President Ste- venson ruled the chair was helpless under the rules to direct the course of any sen- ator in debate. But there was a means of stopping matters temporarily. The debate had been proceeding by unanimous consent, and Mr. Allen of Nebraska at this point suddenly threw ‘*‘senatorial courtesy' to the winds and demanded the regular order. The tariff bill was then laid before the senate. Mr. Aldrich wanted to continue his com- ments on the Carlisle Interview. Then came a_ controversy as to Mr. Dolph's right to yield to Mr. Quay and Mr. Quay's right to transfer the privilege to Mr. Aldrich. It ended in Mr. Aldrich having the floor and he renewed his comments on the Carlisle in- terview, In reply to a remark Mr., Vest stated that Mr. Aldrich had been falsely informed concerning the proposed amend- ments to the tarift bill, and if these state- ments were repeated it must be on his own responsibility. ALDRICH ACCEPTS VEST'S CHALLENGE. Mr. Aldrich accepted the challenge and rose with the statement on his lips that he was “informed and believed that amend- ments had been added to the bill since it had been reported to the senate, as he had previously stated.”” He asserted the amend- ments were in print, and said it was his understanding that they were to be sub- mitted to the senate shortly, They were, he was certain from what he had heard, of a nature to completely change the character of the bill. As a result of this condition of affairs, the senate was no nearer the final consideration of the bill than it was three months ago, when the bill came from the house. Mr. Mills followed in a brief, sharp speech, characterizing the proceedings of the day as pyrotechnical on the part of the republicans, while those last Thursday were of the na- ture of a military move in order to determine the strength of the nocratic forces. Mr. Aldrich, when he asserted there were 300 amendments prepared and ready to be of- fered, displayed a greater knowledge of what was going on in the democratic side of the chamber than he (Mills) possessed and sug- gested that the Rhode Island senator must have an underground connection with the democratic side of the senate. “But suppose there are 300 or 3,000,” he continued, “I know not how many there are, but be the number what it may, It they do not meet my approval, I shall not vote for them. Every senator has the same right to reject them.” Mr, Palmer remarked that it was not nee- essary or expected that a bill should be per- fecte n committee; as for himself he had not given a power of attorney to any one. Mr. Aldrich—Not to the secretary of the treasury ? Mr. Palmer—Not to the secretary of the treasury, though I do not know what the practice of the republican senators was when there was a republican secretary of the treasury. VOORHEES REPLIES TO SHERMAN. Mr. Voorhees, slightly pale and not quite steady in his moves, from recent illness, took the floor for the purpose of replying to the special speech made by Senator Sher- man last Saturday and quoted a long para- graph from the Ohio senator's speech, in which he sald that the flnance committee had not had an opportunity to consider the pending tariff bill in the usual way. He took especial exception to a sentence in Mr. Sherman's speech reading: “This bill has never been considered by the finance com- mittee.” He asserted that the tariff bill had been reported to the full finance committee on h 8 and had not been reported by the committee to the senate until March pnator Sherman, in reply, sald was never read in detail to permit chan % It it had been and votes had been taken a moro satlsfactory measure might have been presented. Senator Harris interjected a question. He wanted to know if Mr. Sherman and the other republican members of the committee had not had opportunity to offer amendments in mmittee, ot the usual opportunity,” replied Mr. DAILY BEE: TUESDAY, Sherman. “It was (dJe to 4o so when the six democratic membaray had agreed on amendments and they had been submitted to the democratic caueus.” Mr. Harris—The senstdr says he did not have the wsual opportunity. 1 want h'm to answer distinctly and deny, It he chovse to deny, explicitly It he dfd ot have the same opportunity the demeerdtlc senators had when the McKinley bilbstas before the com- mittee? y DEMOCRATS FIXED, THE BILL FIRST. Mr. Sherman repeated that there was no opportunity for consideration until the demo- cratie majority had agreed wpon the changes. Mr. Morrill_made a -brief statement con- firmatory of what Sena herman had said, after which Senator Harris, taking the floor for a moment, said, With much emphasis “It the senator from Ohio and the senator from -Vermont desire to be understood as asserting that the republicans were not per- mitted to shape the bill in committee they are within the limits of the exact truth, and they are within the limits when they in that they will not be allowed to shape it.” Mr. Sherman—That's all right Mr. Harris—Of course It is all right. ~But it they say they were not permitted an op- portunity to offer amendments, they do an injustice to themsadves and a gross injustice to other members of the committee, INCOME TAX WILL STAY. Mr. Voorhees insisted that the record showed that the bill had been considered in every detall from end to end, and that the minority had ample opportunity to offer amendments. He called particular attention to Mr. Aldrich’s motion, made in the com- mittee, to strike out the income tax feature. “I desire to say right here,” sald he, com- menting on this motion, ‘no matter what rumors may be floating in the air, the in- come tax will stay in this bill.” Messrs. Allison, Teller and Hawley then took a hand in the discussion, while Mr. Haie returned to the Carlisle interview, declaring that it bore all the earmarks of authenticity. Then Mr. Palmer took a turn and Mr. Carey and Chandler joined the colloquy, which Mr. Harrls vainly endeavored to bring to a close, A few minutes afterward an incident oc- curred which created a profound sensation. All the democrats had been more or less irritated by the prodding from the other side, the feeling being directed principally against Mr. Aldrich, who was maneuvering the opposition. TURPIE ASSAILS ALDRICH. Mr. Turple, who got the floor when Mr. Palmer sat down, made a direct assault on Mr. Aldrich, the like of which has not been heard in the senate chamber for years. He declared that three monstrous untruths had characterized the opposition, three gross, palpable lies of inconceivable mendacity. The first of those untruths was that a new bill was being prepared by the sccretary of the treasury. The socond that three or 300 amendments (it did not matter which) were to be presented, and the third was that the bill reported from the finance committee was not the bill to be passed. All these as- sertions had been categorically denied by four democratic members of the finance com- mittee. “And yet,” continued Mr. Turple, raising his hand aloft and stretching it towards Mr. Aldrich, “the senator from Rhode Island comes in here and says he believes they are true. There could be no such an issue of veracity. I pre- for to believe and I do believe the senators on this side, and I disbelieve the senators—No, I will not say sen- ators—I disbelieve the diminutive unit of the other side who assert to the con- trary. Who is the authority of these re- ports that are now being circulated here and in the newspaper press; who claims the paternity? The senator from Rhode Island. I recollact the predecessor of the honorable senator from Rhode Island,” he continued with biting and venomous irony, referring to the Senator Aldrich of 1890, “as a differ- ent individual from the Senator Aldrich of today, but even he could not have then been the author of all these untruths. He might have been the author of ona, but three would have driven him from the field. He had been a drug clerk and was familiar with that line of business and other lines as a wholesale grocer. We who were here then will never forget the writhing of his dis- tinguished countenance, his enormous devel- opment of cheek that extended from ear to ear and from chin to forehead. We will never forget his auricular appendages, that scraped the dome of the capitol. How can the present senator hope to rival his pre- decessor in the hatred of-truth and the love of falsehood that has always characterized the cheats of protection?” ALDRICH REPLIES CALMLY. When Mr. Turple sat down there was a hush. Everyone was amazed at the personal ! character of the attack upon Mr. Aldrich. Then all eyes were turned upon the senator from Rhode Island. He rose slowly. “In the position the senator from Indiana now takes,” he said, slowly and deliberately, “he speaks for no ome but himself. Under other circumstances and conditions I do not believe he would have made the speech he has made.” Mr. Aldrich took his seat. The incident closed without another word and Mr. Quay took the floor and resumed the prepared speech begun some weeks ago. A motion to go Into exccutive session de- veloped the absence of a quorum, and at 5:50 the senate adjourned. WESTER: PEN ON! Veterans of the Late War Remembered by the General ment.
