It Proposes a Joint Committee of the
Two Houses to Lay Out Plans for
Public Improvements -Senator Allen
Introduces a Resolution Concerning
the Right of the Commonweal to
Meet In the District of Columbia.
The Tariff Bill Taken Up.
Washington, April 25. Among the
morning business brought before the Sen
ate to-day was the introduction by Mr.
Peffer of a bill to provide work for unem
ployed persons in the District of Colum
bia. It was read in full and was referred
to the committee on the District of
Columbia. It provides that the Senate
and House committees on the District of
Columbia shall form a joint committee,
and shall lay out plans for the
improvement of the grounds in
the district by opening highways
wherever there is reasonable
need of them, improving highways
already open, grading lands lying adja
cent to such highways so as to prevent
washing of the roads, constructing
bridges, culverts and conducts, not to in
terfere with the present street system.
The work is to be begun without unneces
sary delay, and such persons are to be
employed in it as have no other present
employment and who desire to work at a
daily wage of $1.50 per day of eight hours.
The act is to remain in force till April,
1896.
RIGHT OF PUBLIC MEETING.
The introduction of this bill -was fol
lowed immediately by a resolution by Mr.
Allen, pop., of Nebraska, on which he
asked immediate action. It recites the
current report that unarmed, law-abiding
and peaceably disposed, but unemployed
citizens of the United States are about to
assemble peaceably in the city of Wash
ington. and to petition the government for
a redress of their grievances, and that
threats of arresting such persons hare
been made upon their entering the Dis
trict of Columbia and the city of
Washington; and it declares that, under
the constitution of the United States,
citizens of the United States, re
gardless of their rank and station in life,
have an undoubted and unquestionable
right to peaceably assemble apd petition
the government for a redress of their
grievances, at any place where they
do not create a breach of the
peace, menace or endanger persons or
property, or disturb the transaction of
the public business, of the free use of
streets and highways by the public, that
•uch persons have as undoubted a right
to visit and assemble in the city of Wash
ington, for any and all peaceable pur
poses, as in other portions of territory un
der the jurisdiction of the United States,
at all times being amenable to the law for
any violation thereof.
TEXTOF TWO SECTIONS.
The third and fourth parts of the reso
lution are: “That such persons have a
right to enter upon the cauitol grounds
and into the capitnl building itself, as
fully, and to as great an extent, as other
citizens or persons, so long as they do not
disturb or hinder the transaction of the
public business, menace the public peace
or rights of persons and property; and
any threat of violence to such persons
under such oircumstances, would be a
clear violation of their constitutional and
inalienable right.
“That we commend the prompt en
forcement of all Just and constitutional
laws looking to the preservation of the
public peace and the prevention of crime.
But, under the pretence of preserving the
public peace and the prevention and
punishment of orimes, peaceable and law
abiding citizens must not be disturbed by
the full and free exercise of their con
stitutional rights.”
“Let that resolution be printed and go
over.” said Mr. Harris, as soon as it had
been read.
"I never heard any of the doctrines in
that paper denied at any time,” Mr. Gray
remarked.
“They have been denied recently,” Mr.
Allen answered.
The resolution went over till to-mor
row.
EXEMPTION OF LOAN ASSOCIATIONS.
Mr. Sherman, a member of the finance
committee, stated in connection with the
proposed income tax, as bearing- upon
building associations, that he had been
authorized by the committee to offer an
amendment which he thought would re
mote th. objections of those associations.
The amendment, he said would cover
all building associations, whose business
it is to loan money to other shareholders
or to receive deposits for them.
*lr. Walsh, of Georgia—l ask the Sena
tor from Ohio whether 1 understand him
correctly in stating that amendments will
be offered to the income tax section ex
empting loan and • building associations
from the operation of the tax?
Mr. Sherman —Substantially, yes; it
will relieve them to the extent that is
supposed to be safe.
Mr. Vest, member of the finance com
mittee—l will state accurately what the
amendment is as agreed upon in com
mittee. It exempts from the income tax
the dividends and profits of loan and build
ing associations, where they make loans
to their shareholders for the purpose of
enabling them to purchase ground and
erect homes for themselves.
.Mr. Sherman (correcting Mr. Vest)
Shareholders and depositors.
Mr. Vest—ln other words, all loan and
building associations, where loans are
used for speculative purposes, are to be
subject to the income tax, but where the
money of the association is loaned to
shareholders in order to build homes for
them, tnc income tax is not to apply.
THE TARIFF BILL
At 1 o’clock, p. m. the Vice President
laid the tariff bill before the Senate and
Mr. Harris asked unanimous consent that
for the remainder of this week, the con
sideration of the bill shall continue daily
from 1 to 6 o’clock p. m.
After an interchange of opinions on the
subject and a final objection on the part
of Mr. Aldrich, Mr. Harris moved that
hereafter and until otherwise ordered, the
Senate shall meet each day at 11 a. in.
The motion went over till to-morrow,
and then Mr. Harris gave notice that he
should ask a vote on it to-morrow, and
that at the close of the routine morning
business he should move to proceed to the
consideration of the tariff bill. The Sen
ate might then adjourn when it pleased.
“Will not that," asked Mr. Frye, rep.,
of Maine, in a tone of railery, "require
all the democratic senators to be present
in the chamber all the time?"
"I think." Mr. Harris replied, "that it
will require every senator who regards
his duty to the country to be present.”
“Fora month now," said Mr. Frye,
“the democratic side of the chamber has
had an immense relief because their
average attendance was not four a da.v."
"How about the republican side?" asked
Mr. White, dem., of California.
“Well,” said Mr. Frye, with a laugh,
“there were six of them here at any
rate.”
CONSIPERED BY PARAGRAPHS.
The bill was then taken up for consid
eration-paragraph by paragraph—the
formal reading of the bill in extenso be
ing dispensed with. On the first line of
the bill there was an amendment, re
ported by the finance committee, to fix
, the time when the act is to take effect, as
; June 30, 1894, instead of June 1. To op
i posing this amendment, Mr. Aldrich,
rep., of Rhode Island, a member of the
finance committee, addressed himself.
He did not believe the bill would have
been acted upon bv that date. No one
knew, he said, what the final form of the
bill would be. as conferences were still
going on between the finance committee
and democratic senators, and the repre
sentatives of industries that would be
affected by the bill, looking to a thorough
revision of it.
“What is the senator'sjtauthority for
that statement?” asked Mr. Vest. “I
deny it absolutely and emphatically.”
“Does the senator mean to say,” Mr.
Aldrick asked, “that negotiations are not
this minute going on between senators on
that side of the chamber looking to sucn
change* in the frame-work of the bill as
will allow it to secure the votes necessary
for its passage.
“I propose to make the assertion," said
Mr. Vest, “that no such negotiations are,
within my knowledge, going on. Nothing
of the sort. The bill is here to be acted
upon, and the senator's statements are
without any' foundation so far as I know
and believe.”
ALDRICH STICKS TO HIS ASSERTION.
“If the senator from Missouri,” Mr.
Aldrich said, “insists that no snch thing
is going on. thendt is going on without
his knowledge, approval or consent, be
cause T know it to be a fact. No senator
can get up and deny it with even an ap
pearance of trutn. -Changes are being
proposed to this bill from day to day, in
order to secure the votes of senators on
that side of the chamber, and I say that
no man now lives who can teil
in what condition or shape the bill will
be when the Senate is asked to vote
upon it. Will the income tax be in it?
Will the duty on sugar be in iti Will
any of its provisions remain as they are?
Who can answer those questions? Is there
any senator on that side of the chamber
—the senator from Missouri or any other
—who will rise in his place and say that
he will oppose amendments offered to this
bill hereafter by the finance committee?”
BOUND TO STAND BT IT.
“I have already said,” Mr. Vest re
marked. “that the bill is here for the action
of the Senate, and that we are bound to
stand by it. As to what the Senate will
do, neither the senator from Rhode
Island nor myself will undertake to say.
Here is the bill, and let the senator take
it up witnout entering into conjecture or
imagination.”
“I ask the senator from Missouri.” Mr.
Aldrich persisted, “if he does not expect
the finance committee to report other
and important amendments to this
measure before it is acted upon by the
Senate!’.’
“I know of none,” Mr. Vest replied.
“Well, I know of several,” said Mr.
Aldrich. “I know the representatives of
several interests and industries in various
parts of the country have been assured
by senators on the other side of the cham
ber that changes would be made in the
bill.”
HARRIS CALLS FOB A VOTE.
After the discussion on the pending
section appeared to have closed, it was
suggested by Mr. Harris that the vote be
taken; but Mr. Allison, a member of the
committee on finance, moved to amend by
striking out June 80, 1894, and leaving the
date blank He argued that that was the
more desirable course, and said that he
had never known a day to be
fixed for a tariff bill going
into effect until the last moment,
and that there should be an interval of
several months between the date of the
passage of the bill and the date of its be
coming operative, in order that business
might have time to, in a measure, adjust
itself to the new conditions.”
In the further course of the discussion
reference was made by Mr. Mitchell, of
Oregon, to a newspaper interview with
Senator Brice, in which that senator was
represented as saying that the bill had
been fixed up so as to be acceptable to
democratic senators, and that thechanges
had been drawn up, practically, by the
Secretary of the Treasury.
Mr. Vest remarked, disdainfully, that
he did not know anything about such
newspaper articles.
Mr. Squire asked him whether a major
ity of the finance committee had really
had an agreement as to the tariff bill un
til a very recent period ; and whether the
differences of views between democratic
senators had not taken a long time to
settle?
VEST GROWS IRONICAL.
Mr. Vest (ironically)—No. The demo
cratic senators went into the committee
room like aDgels, and agreed at once.
They had no differences of opinion at all.
They fell into each others arms and em
braced like bride and groom without re
gard to sex. [Laughter.] I hope that
the senator from Washington does not be
lieve any of these idle stories. We are
ready to act on the bill now. We stand
united, solid, without one ripple on the
surface. [ Laughter. ]
After some further discussion, the Vice
President announced the question to be
on Mr. Allison’s amendment to leave the
date when the bill is to go into effect
blank.
Before the vote could be taken Mr.
Dolpli moved an adjournment, and the
yeas and nays were about to be taken on
that motion when Mi-. Dolph changed his
mind, withdrew the motion and started
out with another instalment of his
speech.
This gave rise to various interruptions
ana a series of short speeches, the only
notable matter brought up being a news
paper interview with Senator Jones.dem.,
of-Arkansas, a member of the finance com
mittee, in which he is reported as say
ing that there had been numerous con
ferences among democratic senators
with a view of adjusting difficulties in
the bill, and that there could be no
agreement unless all persons interested
in the proposed changes assented to
them.
It was evident, Mr. Aldrich said, that
the senator from Missouri (Mr. Vest) did
not hold the position in the councils of his
party that he (Mr. Aldrich) had sup
posed, as he had not been consulted in
those movements. Mr. Vest s reply was
that he did not know anything about the
reported movements, and did not believe
a word of the story.
Without action on the amendment as to
the lime at which the bill shall take
effect, the Senate at 0 o’clock adjourned
until to-morrow.
TWO CONVICTS HANGED
One Fixed His Eyes on the Skv—The
Other Died With a Half Jerring
Laugh.
New Orleans, April 25.—The Times-
Democrat's special from Jackson, Miss.,
says: "One hundred and fifty convicts
saw two of their number. Henry Single
ton and Horace Smith, hanged in the
penitentiary inclosure this morning at 11
o'clock. They were Baptized and ad
mitted to the Catholic church to-day.
Father Duto preceded them to the scaf
fold, which they mounted without a mo
ment’s hesitation. Singleton appeared
stoical and fixed his eyes in
the blue sky above, never moving
them. Smith had a half jerring laugh ou
his countenance. Just before the" trap
sprang, under instructions from Father
Duto, they repeated Christ’s last words
on the cross: "Into thy hands, O Lord, I
commend my spirit. " Singleton’s neck
was broken. He died in two minutes.
Smith died from strangulation in four
teen minutes and suffered terribly. They
made no statements from the gailows."
Lisbon’s Cholera Epidemic.
Lisbon, April 25.—Eighty-four fresh
cases of cholera were reported yesterday.
The number of cases now under treat
ment is 206.
THE MORNING MEWS: THURSDAY, APRIL 26, 1894.
BIG STRIKE IN POLAND.
Two Thousand Troops Out to Quell
Rioting at Sosnowica.
Warsaw, April 25.—A great strike of
miners, iron workers and others prevails
in the Petriksu district of Poland, and
serious riots have resulted. Two thou
sand troops occupy the town of Sosno
wica. where the disturbances have been
most violent and additional troops are
now on their way there. In the tights
that have already occurred, sixteen
strikers have been killed and a large num
ber wounded. 'I he soldiers were obliged
to fire into the mob repeatedly. The prisou
at Sosnowica is filled with strikers, who
have been arrested for rioting.
Three hundred Poles, mostly students,
held a special service in a church here
yesterday to celebrate the centennial of
the rebellion of Kilonski. After the
services they marched in a body to the
house of descendant of Kilonski. in front
of which they cheered and shouted. The
police surrounded the crowd and arrested
241 of the party, 82 of them being
women.
CAROLINA'S DISPENSARIES.
The State Liquor Commissioner Says
the Knock Out Is Only Temporary.
Columbia, S. C., April 25. State
Liquor Commissioner Trader to-day
stated that the dispensary knock out is
only temporary, and that within a short
time something would develop that would
enable him to open the big state barroom
again. He said that the stock of liquors
at the various county dispensaries would
have been called in but for that reason.
It was thought best to recognize the de
cision of the supreme court until the mat
ter could be settled further; in just what
manner. Mr. Trader would not indicate.
This is a surprising piece of information,
as Gov. Tillman had declared that he
was “paralyzed,” and could do nothing.
SHOT A PRETTY OIRL.
A Reiected Admirer Kills Her on ths
Street at Cincinnati.
Cincinnati, 0., April 25.—Mary Gil
martin, a pretty clerk employed by the
Pulvermacher Galvanic Belt Company,
was shot and instantly killed this morn
ing while on her way to work. The man
who committed the murder was arrested,
and gave his name as George Reed, aged
30, but letters in his pocket identify him
as a Catholic priest named Father Domi
nick O'Grady. Insane jealousy of the
girl and her desire to get rid of his un
welcome attentions caused the tragedy.
At the station house O’Grady attempted
suicide by taking poison, but prompt use
of a stomach pump saved his life.
A JUROR SEEKS A BRIBE.
The Other Jurors Discharged and He
is Placed Under Arrest-
Indianapolis, Ind., April 25.—Judge
Baker to-day dismissed eleven of the
jury which has been trying the offi
cers of the Indianapolis Cabinet Company,
accused of wrecking the Indianapolis
National Bank, and held Aben Arm
strong, the twelfth Juror, to answer a

the defense for $5,000. Frank Stanard,
the alleged go-between, was also arrested.
Both were released on bail and the case
set for hearing next Monday.

THE SOUTH’S MEMORIAL DAY.
The Programme of Its Observance in
Savannah.
To-day is Memorial day—a day dear to
every southern heart. Its observance,
which lias always been marked with
noble sentiments, will be more elaborate
than usual this year. The programme
has already been given in the Morning
News. The ladies of the Memorial Asso
ciation have for the last three days been
busy preparing decorations, and no grave
to-day will be left without some mark of
reverent respect. Each little headstone
will bear a wreath of laurel
placed by tender and loving hands.
An elaborate design has been prepared
for the decoration of the monument in the
park extension, and the flowers will be
beautiful and profuse.
The veterans will assemble at Armory
hall in the court house square at 4:30
o'clock this afternoon, where they will be
met by their escort, the Savannah Volun
teer Guards, which will have four full
companies in line. The march will be
down Bull street to Gaston, to Drayton,
to the Park extension. Seats will be
provided at the monument for the ladies
of the Memorial Association. The vete
rans will form in line back of these, and
behind them will be the Guards.
Hon. Robert Falligant will deliver the
address from the platform on the north
side of the monument, after which the
veterans will pass inside the railing,
where their wreaths will be taken by
thirteen little girls, each representing
one of the confederate states, and they
will, by them, be placed on and around
the monument.
At the Whist Party—Wife—Come, let’s
go home: it is 11 o’clock, and you know
you didn’t come home until 1 o'clock this
morning. Husband—That’s just it; you
surely can’t expect me to come home
twice in one day I—Fliegende Blaetter.
DEATH BED CONFESSIONS.
An Innocent Negro Pardoned After
Serving Ten Years.
Atlanta, Ga.. April 25.—But for death
bed confessions. Allen Yancy. now con
fined in the Dade coal mines, would have
served a life sentence fora murder of
which he is entirely innocent. As it is,
he was pardoned by Gov. Northen to-day,
after an unjust conflnement of ten years.
The man for whose murder Yanc.v has
suffered was Richard Cuff, a resident of
Calhoun county. In 1884 a party of five
or six white boys, headed by a negro
named Blacker, went to the house of
Cuff at the dead of night to whip another
negro, named Thomas, who was thought
to be sleeping there.
Armed with cowhides and pistols, they
attacked the place. Bursting in, they
fired at random to intimidate the occu
pants. and Yancy, the victim of the little
band of whitecappers, was shot in the
head and killed. The crime was laid at
the door of Allen Yancy, an old. inoffen
sive, ante-bellum negro. Blacker failed
to escape, however, and was convicted
and given a iife sentence. The crowd of
whites, to protect themselves, swore to
Yancy’s guilt as an accomplice. He nar
rowly escaped hanging, and was
sent up for life. Yancy has since
made an exemplary prisoner, though
always protesting his innocence. Recently
three of the white boys who were at the
scene of the killing died. Upon their
death beds they all completely exonerated
Yancy and the governor was asked to
pardon the convict. The then presiding
judge, solicitor, jury and grand jury
united in the request, becoming firmly
convinced that he was in no way con
nected with the murder. The pardon was
granted this morning.
COMMISSIONER NESBITT ILL.
He is Afflicted by Paralysis at States
boro.
Statesboro, Ga., April 25.—State Com
missioner of Agriculture Nesbitt is ill at
Hotel Brunen in this place. He came
here yesterday afternoon for the purpose
of making an agricultural speech at the
court house to-day. He was struck with
paralysis in his left leg last night at 12
o'clock. Dr. Quettlebaum was called.
He is still very 111. He is utterly help
less, being unable to move himself in bed.
It is not thought, however, that he is in
any way dangerous. Mr. Nesbitt says
that he was afflicted in about the same
manner about a year ago, when he
was laid up for about a week. His many
friends here are disappointed, as they
had hoped to hear his speech here to-day.
George Moore, colored, was shot by an
unknown party last night. He was sit
ting in his house about three miled be
low here, when he received a load of
buckshot in an arm and leg. Dr. Hol
land was called to dress the wounds.
George is a noted character, and is re
garded as a bad case. He has figured
conspicuously before our criminal courts,
but was always sharp enough to slip out
of his tricks. There is no clue as to the
party who did the shooting,
A PRETTY WEDDINO DOT.
001. Lee Jordan, of Macon, Settles
$200,000 on His Young Bride.
Macon, Ga., April 25.—C01. Lee Gordan
and Miss Ilah Dunlap were married at
noon to day at the residence of the bride’s
father, Capt. S. S. Dunlap, of this city.
The announcement made some weeks ago
that this marriage would take place,
caused considerable stir in society circles
all over the state, on account of the dis
parity in the age of the bride and groom.
The bride is a noted Georgia beauty and
a great favorite among the young people
of this city. Her lather is one of Macon's
most wealthy and prominent citizens.
Col. Lee Jordan is well known through
out the state, and is a large property
owner.
The ceremony to-day was very quiet,
only immediate relatives of the contract
ing parties being present. Immediately
after the ceremony Col. and Mrs. Jordan
left on the Macon and Northern road for
New York via the Seaboard Air Line.
From.New York they will go to Europe
on an extended wedding tour. The
groom’s present to the bride was a mag
nificent tiara of diamonds, and it is said,
a marriage settlement of $200,000.
TRIAL OF THE WHITBCAP9.
The Motive For the Whippings Hard
to Prove.
Atlanta, Ga., April 25.—The govern
medt had no trouble to-day in the trial
of the whitecaps in establishing the fact
that whippings were given to several
parties. When it came to showing that
the whippings were to prevent evidence
being given to the government about vio
lations of the internal revenue laws, the
prosecution was weak. Judge Newman
ordered two counts of the indictment to
be stricken out and only one remains.
Siblev Mills Annual Meeting.
Augusta, Ga., April 25.—At the annual
meeting of the Sibley mills to-day, W. C.
Sibley was re-elected president, and ex
tensive additions were authorized. The

tories in the south. It paid a 6 per cent,
dividend.
MEDICAL.
Brings comfort and improvement and
tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet
ter than others and enjoy life more, with
less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the world’s best products to
the needs of physical being, will attest
the value to health of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the
remedy, Syrup of Figs.
Its excellence is due to its presenting
in the form most acceptable and pleas
ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties of a perfect lax
ative ; effectually cleansing the system,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
ana permanently curing constipation.
It has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval of the medical
profession, because it acts or. the Kid

A STARTLING FACT,
That very few persons have perfect eyes. It
must be evident that it requires both knowl
edge and skill to know what the eyes need
and to B* them properly with glasses. Those
who trust this work to uninstructed dealers
are criminally careless of the most valuable
of all the senses, their sight. Ir. addition to
eraduating in Germany and my thirty vears’
practical experience I have taken a course
and graduated in a school of optics in New
York and learned the latest and best methods
of ascertaining the different defects of the
eyes and their proper correction, so that I
can fit you properly with glasses that will
strengthen and Improve your eyesight instead
of rapidly ruining It, as poorly fitted glnsses
will always do. No charge for examination.
