IN, Aug. on HUNTING FOR A QUORUM, Berge int-at-Arms of the Senate Sent Members to Transnet WASHINGTON, Aug. 20.—For fifteen or twenty minutes today the business of the senate was suspended while the sergeant-at- arms was sent in search of an actual rum. The was eighteen short of a voting quorum, only twenty-five senators having voted on a non-political motion, thus showing that congress is slowly disintegrat- ing. The four supplemental tarift bills were all reported from the finance committee and sent to the calendar. Sev 1 Dbills were passed, among them the bill for the speedy prosecution of the claim of the United St against the estate of the late Leland Stan- ford. At 1:40 p. m. the senate adjourned until Wednesda$, after an executive session lasting twenty minutes. When the senate met Mr. Harris reported tho amended sugar bill and the coal, iron ore and barbed wire bills. Inquiries were made as to what had become of the other amend- ments offered to the sugar bill, but Mr. Harris said that it was not usual to report back amendments rejected in committee, Mr. Allison, republican of Towa, said that tho action of the senate last Saturday on Mr. Manderson's amendment when the vote was 21 to 20 and only failed for lack of a quorum should be regarded as instruction to the com- mitteo to report the amendment favor. Mr. Allison stated that the free wire bill doos not provide for free barbed wire at all, as it places a duty upon the manu- factured article while admitting the materfal fre>. He reminded the senate that tho Wilson bill provided for a 25 per cent ad valorem duty on barbed: wire, but the senate had reduced it. Mr. Aldrich, another republican member of the finance committee, denied the substi- to usiness, quo- tute bl just reported was by the unanimous vote of the committee, as it had been op- posed by all the republican members. The Thouse had desird to put barbed wire on the freo list to benefit the farmer, but in its haste it had done just the opposite. Mr. Chandler wanted to know what became of his amendment repealing and canceling the lato tariff act. Mr. Harris gave as his reply that he had been fnstructed to report the bill back with an amendment providing for a duty of 40 per cent. Mr. Mitchell, republican of Oregon, gave no- tice that if the sugar bill was calied up at this session he would offer an amendment re- enacting the wool schedule of 1590. The bills placing wool, coal and iron on the free list were ordered placed on the calendar. The senate went into executive session, but owing to the lack of a quorum adjourned till Wednesday. SUGAR BILL CHANGES. The sugar bill, as agreed upon, Is amended 80 as to provide for a duty of 40 per cent straight on sugar without any differential on refined sugar or any extra duty on sugar mported from countries paying a_bounty— in other words, It is the new tarift bill rate minus the differentiai It is the Jones amendment except that his amendment pro- vided for only 30 per cent. The idea of the democratic members of the committee is that this rate will furnish sufficient revenue without giving the Sugar trust any ad- vantages. Tho coal bill was amended so as to pro- vide for reciprocity on this article by the ad- mission free of duty coal from countries which admit coal from this country free. Coal Imporied trom countries that impose a duty on our ccal is to be made dutiable at the rate in existence when this bill shall g0 _into effect. The amendment to the birbed wire bill provides for the Iree admission of barbed wire and all other fencing wire, and the rods from which they are made. The free iron ore bill is not amended. The republican members of the committee offered amendments of their own to the bill. One of the amendments offered was that pre- sented In the senate by Senator Hill for the repeal of the income tax. They ¢lso sought to have the revenue duty supplanted by a provision for freo sugar with a bounty. They voted solidly against the bills, but did not ‘seek to delay the report upon them. Senator Whito attended upon the com- mittee meeting for the first time, and acted in perfect harmony with the older demo- cratic members thereof. The houso bill to provide a home for aged and Infirm colored people went over until the next s-usion. ‘The senate bill to push the claim of the Unlted Statos against the estate of Leland Stanford was passed.

S WILL VESTIGATFE, TOO, House Committee Wants Some Restrictions on Rallroad Strike, WASHINGTON, Aug. 20.—Members of the house committee on commerce have not aban- doned the project of holding an investigation of the recent raflroad strike, for which a resolution is before the commmittee. The appointment of a commission by President Cleveland to conduct a sinilar investigation is thought to have forestalled action by the committee, and for a time the idea of a con- gressional investigation was dropped. It is thought by members that the inquiry by the commission, now in progress, is in- tended principally to gain information on the questions of capital and labor involved and thelr solution. Supporters of the resolution before the committee desire a report regarding the ef- fect of the railroad strike upon commerce between the states. Two or three members favor laws which would control railroad em- ployes, so that general strikes, paralyzing commerce, could not be inaugurated without due notice. They regard the railroads in a measure as public highways which should be under public control. An effort wiil be made to have a commit- teo meeting called next week to report a resolution for an investigation during the recess. has ap: National it for the ENT.

Accompanying the letter was a flaring poster, | announcing in very emphatic characters that Tom Beaver, the welterweight champlon of Ilinots, would meet Joe Reid of Wakefield in a “hot” contest with five-ounce gloves. While It is expected that the authorities of that place will see that the law relative to prize fighting is strictly observed, the governor expressed his intention or writing Immediately to the county attorney, instruct ing him not to allow the affair to take place. Whether or not an extra session of the legislature will be called for the purpose of devising means to alleviate the suffering of those who have been rendered destitute from the effects of the drouth, the governor is not yet ready to state. He has been giv- ing the matter all necessary consideration and will not act hastily. He has received many letters for and against the measure, all of which will be given due attention. MRS. SHEEDY AGAIN. The case of Mrs. Mary Sheedy against James H. McMurtry has been appealed to the supreme court. The case was fought stub- vornly in the lower courts and resulted in McMurtry's favor. There are several points of interest about it and It will be watched carefully by the legal fraternity. It scems that Mrs. Sheedy entered into an agreement to sell the defendant certain picces of prop- erty for the sum of $25,000, which agree- ment he has refused to fulfill. When the agreement was made it was supposed by M- Murtry that Mrs. Sheedy was yet single, but it transpired that she had married Max Brust, previously, but his name did not ap pear on the agreement with his wife’s, but Mrs. Sheedy told the court that she had en- tered into an agreement with her husband whereby he was not to have any interest in her cstate. Intsead of inheriting one-half of the estate of her former husband, as Mc- Murtry supposed, she has only a dower in- terest of one-third. There was a shooting affair this morning in the house of W. K. Hargrove, living near Ninth and G streets. Mr. Hargrove, who is a brakeman on the Burlington road, relates that he came home unexpectedly at an early Nour this morning and discovered a man in the house. He got his shotgun and fired at him, but whether it took effect he does not know, but he thinks it did. Both Hargrove and his wife are very reticent about the affair. Special to The Bee.)

A burglar was frightened away from the residence of Dr. Holyoke yesterday by the bright action of little Walter Snelling, who is staying at the house. While playing about hie espied a man_groping around the interior of the house. He had his target rifle in his hand and the thought came over him that it was then the time to use it. He got a head on the unwelcome visitor and fired with good effect, as the burglar immediately left. Young Walter also took to his heels and it is not yet known which was the more frightened. A careful search by the neighbors and the police failed to produce a clew to the unknown party. HIS WIFE HEARD THE SHOT. Mysterious Death of Alva R. Smith in Lin- coln County, Nebraska. NORTH PLATTE, Neb., Aug. 20.—(Special Telegram to The Bee.)—Alva R. Smith was shot and almost instantly killed Saturday morning. Smith lived n the extreme south- western corner of this county. Coroner Somers has just returned after holding an inquest. It was the supposition at first that Smith committed suicide.t The inquest de- veloped considerable doubt as to this hy- pothesis. ~ The wound could not have been easily self-inflicted, the bullet entering the right side, well back, and ranging forward to pass out near the left nipple. Mrs. Smith claimed that she was awakened by the re- port; that she saw the revolver lying on the floor, picked It up, and then, ascertaining that her husband was dead, she immediately alarmed the nelghbors. The case is a pecu- | liar one, and further developments are an- ticipated. That the deceased came to his death from the effects of a pistol shot wound received in some way unknown, was the effect of the verdict of the coroner's jury. “Squaw n Excluded. DECATUR, Neb., Aug. 20.—(Speclal to The Bee)—At the recent Indian payment made to the Omahas at thelr agency instructions were sent from the secretary of the interior to the Indian agent of the Winnebago and Omaha Indians that all children born since 1887 of white fathers were to bs stricken from the roll and recelve no annuity. The agent carried out instructions, and it natur- ally made quite a commotion among (he white men who have married into the tribe and were interested to the amount of quite a number of children. But there was no use complaining, so the next best thing was to call w general council of the Indians and se- cure an adoption of thelr children into the tribe. The pow-wow was held yesterday to discuss the matter at their agency, ten miles north of here. The white men were there with three or four beeves and a wagon load of flour, and probably a hundred pounds of coffee, the whites knowing If the In- dians’ paunches were well filled the adoption was easy. But the adoption was not so easy as anticipated, and after whiling away almost the entire afternoon in wrangling the matter was put into the hands of the “big twelve,” that Is, the twelve head chiefs of the tribe. Thelr advice was (hat a con- sultation with the agent would be the best they could do. So the way the condition of affairs look now the chances for the adop- tion of the children are very slim. The total number struck from the roll is about forty. N ST Weeping Water's Reunion Opens Today.

CORBETT'S FRIENDS INTERFERED, Dishop Bonacum's Appolntce Not FPer- mitted to Hold Services at Elmwood. NEBRASKA CITY, Aug. 20.—(Special Tel- egram to The Bee)—The Bonacum-Corbett case, after several months of quietness, Is likely to be heard of again. Rev. Father Smith, who succeeded Father Corbett in the Palmyra mission, was in the city today and said Father Corbett had ignored the order of the court issued in the celebrated trial in this city last June by holding funeral sery- ices over the remains of one of his former parishioners at Elmwood about two weeks ago. Father Smith went there, he says, prepared to conduct the service, but was un- able to do so because of the presence of Corbett and his friends. He requested a constable to remove Corbett from the church, but the request was ignored. The facts have been reported to the bishop and Corbett may be brought before Judge Chapman for con- tempt. Threatened to Mob the Preacher. RANDOLPH, Neb., Aug. 20.—(Special to The Bee)—Sunday at Osmond Rev. B. B Keister of the Methodist Episcopal church attended a ball game at the park between “The Leaders” of this city and an aggrega- tion from Plainview, with the avowed {nten- tion of arresting the participants for violat- ing state laws. The reverend gentleman wrote the managers at Randolph of his inten- tions before the game was called, but upon receipt of a_telegram stating no interference would be offered the nine concluded to go. At the beginning of the second inning it was noticed that a clerical looking individual was engaged with pencil in taking names as the players were called to bat by score keepers. This resulted In the discovery that the irate preacher was in dead earnest, and after con- sultation the Randolph boys declined to pro- coed further. Feeling ran high, and threats to mob the clergyman were. boldly made by Osmond citizens, who protested against such interference, without avail.

The woman was from Sterling. Her husband had followed her here. About 11 o'clock the couple wended their to the lake, half a mile north of town. The avenger finally sprang upon the unsuspicious Fulsom, knocking him down' and tramping him in the face and cutting him about the face and breast with a knife.. The knife used was a poor one, and the. wounds inflicted were not serious, but Fulsom was badly frightened and succeeded in getthhg away from his as- sailant. X George E.
