reasonable rates- Tbe president is
authorized to enter into treaty
negotiations with the governments
of tbeseverai countries of Central and
South America, Asia and the Islands
of the Pacific for concerted support
of such steamship mail facilities us
mag be established
On motion of Nagley, of P.nnsyk
vauia. from the committee on mili
tary affaire, the rules were suspended
and the bill was passed to reimburse
the National home for disabled vol
unteers for 1(8.es Incurred through
the failure of the Exchange National
bank of Norfolk, Va,
Herbert, of Alabama, from the
committee on naval affairs, moved to
suspend tee rules and adopt the res
olution making the bill to increase
the naval establishment the contin
uing special order from Thursday,
22 J of April, until Tur-sCay, 27.t of
April, on which latter day the pre
vious question shall be considered at
order-d.
It excepts, however, ap.proprla.luu
bills, prior special orders, public
lauds bills and private bills on Fri
day, which shall not be antagonized.
Herber' appealed for tbe considera
tion by the house of the great ques
tion involved in the resolution. Our
cities by the sea were absolutely at
the mercy of any foreign power.
Br. zli could successfully bombard
any city on the Atlantic ooa6t, while
Chili could successfully bombard 8m
Francisco. B ;th parties were com
mitted to an increase of the naval
ts.&blishment, and on no pretense
should the bill be allowed to faih
Morrison opposed the resolution on
the ground that its the bill would be
crowded out by exoepted measures
until the 27 h, tbe house w-uid be
called upon to vote on the measure,
which involved the expenditure of
millions of dollars after but a slum
debate.
Hoiman objected to the naval
establishment bill because it would
displace mtasures of greater public
interest—tbe land forfeiture bills.
Hewitt, of New Yotk, said tnat In
refusing to give a day to the consid
eration of the naval establishment
bill tbe bouee would be trifling with
a grave and important qu, stion. Tht
country was lamentably deficient, in
meaneof defense, and it was s grave
question to-day in negotiations with
foreign countries whether the U i‘ed
States ccu'c* take a etand on public
questions which the interest and
dignity of a great country demand
ed.
The motion to suspend the rules
and adrpt the resolution was lost—
119 to 104-not two-thirds voting In
the affirmative.
On motion of Dockery, of the com
mittee on post offices and post roads,
the rules were suspended and the bill
f iassed to extend tbe immediate do-
Ivery eervioe. It provides for thlB
service within the carrier delivery
limit of any free delivery office and
within one mile of any other post
office which the postmaster-general
may designate.
The motion to make the Kennlon
canal bill the epecial order for May
6lh was lost—112 to 103, not the nec
essary two-thirds in the affirms
tive.
Dibble, of South Carolina, from the
committee on public buildings and
grounds, moved to suspend the rules
and adopt a resolution setting apart
the6.h of May and succeeding days
for the consideration of public build
ing measures. Dibble explained that
these measnrse Involved an expendi
ture of about four millions.
Blount, of Georgia, earnestly op
posed the resolution, because n set
spartan delimited time to the con
sideration of an unlimited number of
bills. It was the inauguration of a
march on the treaaury, such es no
Congress had ever tolerated before
Dibble inquired whether the g-n
tleman bRd not supported a proposi
tion as breed as tbe pending one at
the la-d session of congress,
Blount replied that there bad b eu
no such proposition presented Toe
proposition then had been to fix one
day for the col s'deration of bills,
while the proposition to-day was tlm-
tbe public business should be pub
pendeu to allow c tigress to go on ap
propriating f <r any public building
tha* anybody wanted,
D.bble said tha tbe gentleman
mis .pprebcnded the character of the
resolution adopted a! tbs last, con
gress. H quoted fram the R.cord to
-bow* th&t that resolution made pub
lic building bills the special order,
and remarked, "the ques'ion was
taken by the yeas aud nays, ard (-ar-
castically) by some accident, I sup
pose, 'he ram- of the gentleman
from Georgia (B tint) '» recorded lu
the affirmative ” [L uebter ]
Mewillau, of Teuneosue, d dared
bar only ihr-jeor four hills had pass
ed the house by virtue of that reso
lution, aud that then the order had
broken down under the weight of its
own rottenness.
Diddle replied that the order hod
broken down beoaus: a small minori
ty of the house had filibustered
against its execution. Ho asserted
•hat it would be in the interest of
public business *,o have she resolution
adopted, as it would prevent tbe re
currence of the practice of passing
public building measures during the
expiring hours of congress, whether
recommended by the oommittee or
not. Was the house afraid of itseli?
Were the gentlemen afraid that the
house would run away with the treas
ury on its back ?
Blount pointed out that tbe resolu
tion for which he had voted during
tht last congress was not similar to
the one now under consideration.
Tbe former had bad reference to bids
then in tha committee of the whole
or on the speaker’s table, while the
iatter refeired to any bill the com
ru.ttee might report in tne future.
The motion to suspend the rules
an ! adopt the resolution was lost-
yeas 143, nays 78, not two**thlrds
voting in the affirmative,
Adjourned.

ANTHONY, K.S , April 19 —Two
mojuUjB ago a hgi.il occurred in (he
village of D-uvillc, near this p!ac_,
between two brothers uumeU Weaver
and a man named Adel. The latter
was fatany wounded, >snd the Weaver
boys were arrested and hurried away
to avoid s mob. Last week they
were returned ior trim, uni tbe cists
were continued for 'he lerui with
bail fixed at $10,900 taoa. Ai
1 o’clock this m ruing a mob
of forty armed men surrounded the
resilience of tne sheriff, where the
prisoners wore under guard in this
city. Tne guard hearing them
rusned the prisoners out ihe buck
door into tbe Lanmont of a new
building. Tne sheritf was taken
prisoner by tbe mob and guarded.
The deputle.-. finding 1; uss*-
less to resist, surrendered the
Weavers. Ihe brothers defended
themselves in their struggle for life
With a revolver, which they had
taken from one of the deputies. They
were finally overpowered by the mob
aud disarmed, Rtpes were place!
about their necks and preparations
were made to hung them to the raft
ers, but the trample of approaching
feet soared the mob so they fired
fifteen to twenty shots into each
man, literally shooting them to
pieces, and mounting horses rode
rapidly away. The mother of the
hoys and the wife of one them wit
nessed the entire tragody.

Washington, April 19.—It was
nearly • om -qua/! ■ rs of an bou- after
*be regular hour of meeting wueu tbe
at'orney-geuf ral appeared before th .
telephone Investigating c-.mmitue,
looking pale and rattier Cede. Wt b
a Courts us>a ! u'.e to the committee,
he imuiedlaifciy took ihe stand, and
on invitation of tbe nbairmuti, begat'
t>. Ui .he a statemen. of bis ojuueC.io:
with the Pan-E eelrie company. He
wished, he saiu, to lay before the
committee and re-affl.m his state
ment to trie president on October 8 b
last. In addition, he wished to ex
pmln two or tore, poin*- ■<,! -hutstate
ment. In February, lbS3, Gen At
kins bao su.d to witness that he be
lli v-d tbe R geis' ioveuti; n« were
of great value if properly handled,
and that money could be m»de out
of menu Being a poor iut*n Pfce him
self, Gen Atkins had desired witness
to eater into this undertaking
"I 'oi l him,” said witness, "that I
bad never undertaken to make any
money except oy the iaw aud poker.
I bad always lost at poker and gen-
t-r.aliy won at law 1 was willing to
go into this if he .hougit it ofUred
Inducements.”
Continuing, witness said that Srn
ator Harris, made subsiantially th
same staieme, ,t about the inventions
and two or three da.ya afterwards
witness bad been introduced to D:
R dger< aud ms son at their home.
He br.tfl, told of their organiz:. ion
of the 1’. d Electric company as de
tailed by Seualor Harris and other
witnesses, a.od then turned his at
tent ion to :ho applicatlor; made to
him to bring suit aguiunt the Bell
company. Is was inference ana not
a fact that the Pan E ectric
com]>any had made the application.
The inference was founded on two
reeeous: First, that Young came
with ether gentlemen in the latter
part of Juiy, and witness knew him
to be secretaiy and treasurer of the
Pan Electric; aud, second, because
witness -iad, on May 25.h, received a
leittr irom Dr R igers requesting suit
lobe brought, A* a stockholder of
that company, coupling th es facts
together, witness took it for granted
that the Pan Electric made the appli
cation. I was simply an inRteuce
and no name had been mentioned.
Witueeebad treated Dr R gers’lefi r
as pfereoral, arid he Kiev
R g.irs had no authority to
make the application—that such
an Application must "'come /rum the
president of the company. Tliereiore
the letter had remained unanswer.id,
and as a personal paper had cot bean
fiiea. In July Van Beuthuysen had
presented h.s application foi a sui.,
basii-g it on a lav, which he stated
had been pushed at tbe Jast seesiou o*
congress Witness bad hoard of the
iaw before tnat, aud had had some
search made, but could nol ti _d the
ect, The application, however, was
so well written, ar.ii apparently set
out the passage of the bill so positive
ly tha witness felt that there must
be s me mistake, and tbai the bnl
had become a law. The application
had been referred by witness to the
interior department, where it should
have gone in the first instance, end
witness had heard no more of it
u j,til i( bad bee., returned last Jau«
usry with other papers. Af.er re
ceiving V^n Ben thuys.n’e letter « li
nens fiad set to work to examine into
the. rnauer, for iimugn ,ie had no
intimation to that effect, he was sat
isfied other applications would lie
made. Locking over the authorities,
he bad concluded that he could not
ord.rtheeuli and wrote the gentle
men (Van Benthuyserj, Y aug and
others) tnat ne had de ermlued that
tie would not vouch it ui all undrr
Use oircumetftt.ces.
When witness was Htili in the sen
ate, Hen a or P.att hau come <o him
' ae dt-.j wiib a bill to authonz gov
ernment sutvS, and had asked hh
opinion of it. W 'ness h«d locked il
over and said be regarded it i-s to-
neceerary, tlmt it wcuki do no g.o j.
That vtiic all he ever said or heard of
the bill untii it hod been brought to
’ids a'.teniion through the application,
lu the early par. of the fail, Mr.
Humphreys, of the Globe telephone
company, had oulled upon him at the
department about the application. 1 1
thought he was going to jump over
on me,” said witness. Humphreys
had irsslcd that wituese order the
suit, and had SMid it was very curious
that because witness was in another
oompahy, that his (Humphreys)
rights should be disregarded, "He
got mad beoause I would not do any
thing about it, and we parted, not
with mutual respect arid admiration
at all.”
Witness denied that be bad even
given an opinion about the validity
of the BUI patent, as had been as
cribed to him The opinion he had
given, aud the only opinion, was to
the fcflict that ihe Pau-Eiectric in
ventions were not infringements,
that they were an Improvemsut on
telephones that were differently pat
entable—a well recogulz-d principle.
While a stockholder ne had been
very direlict in attending the meet
ings for the reasons that the place
of meeting was inconveniently
situated and that they were held
at night when witness rarely went
out of his house. Although witness
was attorney for the company, yet
Ycutig ai d Senator Harris usually
drew up the legul papers, ami when
they were ref rred to him witness
made such alteration as seemed to be
’•eceesary Those papers Lad been
submitted to witness .u tbe senate
Judiciary room, but it was a mistake
osaythutuny board meetings bad
been held in tbs room Witi *s was
satisfied th nt he hnd never a.tended
» meeiUig of the company since the
last presidential election.
