Warmers William.

Washington, June 6.-The western
democratic senators very generally ex-
press indignation over to-day's decision
of the senate finance committee to
postpone reporting the Warner silver
bill until the next session. They claim
a sufficient number of votes to secure
the adoption of Coke's resolution to
discharge the committee from further
consideration of the bill, and to bring
it Immediately before the senate for
action, but these calculations will un-
doubtedly prove to be erroneous, as
at least nine democratic senators will
vote against Coke's resolution.
Senators Booth and Hill and several
other friends of the double standard
system, although decidedly in favor Of
the main objects of the Warner silver
bill, believe, nevertheless, that it viii
be highly advisable to defer the action
on this subject until next session, in
order to afford time for unembarrassed
prosecution of the efforts now in pro
gress for the establishment of an inter
national common ratio between silver
and gold, which would place the double
standard upon a firm and lasting basis

Cox and Cannon,

Washington, June 6.-During the
debate on the bill reducing the salaries
of letter carriers, Cox characterized
the bill as the meanest he had ever
seen. There was nothing SO mean, so
parsimonious, SO coarse, so despicable
as to bring in a bill to repeal law
passed at the last session, and to cut
down the pay of men who were worked
fourteen hours a day in New York
city, because the gentleman from Him
ois tCannon) did not want that sort of
work upon the prairie. (Laughter)
Cannon replied that the gentleman
from New York Cox wanted to get
into some despicable, demagogical posi-
tion, and to get some shouts from the
slums of New York city.
Munroe opposed the bill. He was in
favor of the free delivery system as
being an instrument of civilization,
and thought that it should be intro
duced into the young cities of the coun-
try. In regard to the pay of carriers,
he did not believe 81, 900 and $500 toe
much for faithful, honest men, who
gave the best they had to the service
the country.

Progress of the N. p.

New York, June GA dispatch from
Bismarck, D. T., says that President
Billings and other gentlemen who sub
scribed literally to the recent loan of
two millions to the Northern Pacific,
after an inspection of the extenson west
of the Missouri, find that it is progress
ing too slowly and will take steps to
stir it up, and if possible, build the
whole distance to the Yellowstone this
year. The contractors took the grading
at fifteen cents per yard, and it is being
sub let at thirteen cents, which. it is
said, is too low and il the company
want the work completed this summer,
they will have to do it themselves. 1t
is thought that President Stark
will be made general manager. With
the completion of the division of the
Yellowstone and Pendaville, on the
Pacific coast, President Billings pro-
poses to establish stage line between
the terminal points and thus provide
for through travel and mail route.

Kearney Analyzed

New York, June 6.-The Times to-
day analyses Kearney, whom it de-
clares is remarkable character. No
such an apostle of labor has ever be-
fore arisen in the United States. The
secret of his success would be invalua.
BILE to any man who would be a leader
of the people. He has contrived to
gain and keep a complete ascendency
over the party of which he has just
been made permanent president. The
organization of the party is very com
plete. Kearney is not only its perma-
nent president, but its autocrat. With
his followers his word is law. HIS or
ders are implicitly obeyed. This apos-
tie of freedom, such is the confidence
reposed in him by his followers, is, in
his way, an absolutist and tryant.
The men who are continually bowling
about the oppression of capital have
yielded their consciences and freedom
of thought as implicitly into Kearney's IS
keeping as if he were their priest and
king. He is an ignorant and conceited
foreigner, a demagogue of the lowest
order, appealing to the basest passions
of mankind and employing the meanest
insinuations to arouse the prejudices OF
his followers. But the man seems
wholly disinterested. To be sure he
makes his living by his political preach
ing. Yet Kearney will not take office
As political phenomenon, Kearney i.

New York, June 6.-The Times says
of yesterdays Jerome Park race:
'Spendthrift's running disposes of all
the flimsy pretenses that have been put
forward in connection with the fechni-
cally legitimate but morally disgraceful
procedure of Saturday. Keene has
been fortunate enough in his first year
on the turf to win both the Wither's
and Belmont stakes, and in Spendthrift
he has horse which can afford to in.
cur a penalty Of five pounds and yet
start for the Lorillard stakes with
probably better chances of winning
than any other horse opposed to him. He
certainly gave the field, in the Belmont
stakes yesterday, more than that much
of beating.''

Winchester, Va, June 6.--The lin.
yelling of the monument erected in
memory of the confederate dead, and
the decorating Of the graves, took place
this afternoon at Stonewau cemetery,
The procession was large, and mar
shaled by Gen. Joseph E. johnson, who
was repeatedly cheered along the line
of march.
The monument was erected by ladies
and bears the following inscription;
TN memory of three hundred and
ninety-eight Virginia soldiers lying un-
der this ground, who fell in defense of
constitutional liberty and the sover-
eighty of their state from 1861 to 1865.
The graves were decorated with
flowers and eyergreens, and marked by
flags Of the southern states. The con-
federate flag was also displayed, but in
the adjoining national cemetery the ma.
tional flag was flying. The speakers
stand was draped with the confederate
colors, white and red, with mourning
stripes.

Remarkable Career of the Woman Who
Broke jail in Portland, Me.

New York, June 6.-The Portland
Press of yesterday says:
Mrs. Clemence has succeeded in
making her escape from the station
house. She broke out between mid
| night and five a. IN. She managed
probably to cut the wooden bars of the
window of the lodging room where she
was confined with the knife with which
she cut her food for supper, and hid the
shavings under the bed. She then
raised the window and squeezed herself
through into u narrow walk back of
the station, and scaled the fence into
Chestnut street.
1t is thought it may have been Mrs.
Clemence and confederate who broke
into the stable and stole the horse and
beach wagon of Motley, at Prides
bridge, for it is said she can drive the
widest horse that was ever seen.
She left her trunk behind filled with
expensive wardrobe, S400 in money,
and superb quartz and gold chain, a
pair of expensive bracelets and other
jewelry.
Blame cannot be attached to the po-
lice for her escape because they were
given to understand by those who Mrs
Clemence had wronged, that it was
probable that she could explain every
thing, and that she herself expressed a
perfect willingness to go to the station
when arrested.
1t has Teen ascertained that this Mrs.
Clemence is really named Oracle
Clemence
Her husband was employed on the
Illinois railroad and was killed by an
accident.
Mrs. Clemence was quite well known
in Cleveland, Ohio, some years ago, but
since then she has bloomed into con-
fidence woman, well calculated to de-
ceiye.
She had a quantity Of valuable rings
and an elegant chain, blue dress and n
light gray sack. She has property, no
doubt, deposited in banks, subject to
her control, in Boston and Albany, to
the amount Of $1,000. She left pack
ages of silverware in her trunk, which
she says were presents to Mrs. Spring
from her sister. One hundred dollars
reward is offered for her arrest.

CONGRESSIONAL PROCEEDINGS
SENATE.

SENATE.
Washington, June 6.--Mr. Coke
asked the chairman of the finance
committee what action had been taken
on the Warner silver bill.
Mr.. Bayard said no member had
been instructed to report on the bill.
Mr.. Coke said his sense of duty led
him to offer a resolution discharging
the committee from further cons.dera-
tion of the bill and to deliver the bill
before the senate for action.
Mr.. Edmunds objected, and the reso-
luton went over.
Mr.. Edmunds resumed his remarks
on the bill to repeal sections Sol, $40
and S2l of the revised statutes.
The senate concurred in the house
amendment to Senate bill No. SIC, to

Win Sign the Bills.

Washington, June CT is stated to-
day, upon entirely unquestionable
authority, that the president has def
nitely made up his mind to approve the
army appropriation bill and legislative
executive and judicial appropriation
bills in their present terms, and that
he also said to-day that he could see nc
good reason to withhold his signature
from the judicial expense bill if sent to
him in the terms reported to have been
agreed upon by the last democratic
caucus, although of course he will not
feel absolutely certain in regard to this
bill until he sees its exact language
when fully matured by the committee
on appropriations.

hees and Jones, of Nevada. Senator
Morrill, was paired with Senator Wal

Murder and Lynchine.


Evansville, Ind, June 6.-Another
terrible tragedy has been enacted in
the neighboreood of Mount Vernon, in
this state, where five negroes were
hanged by mob, last October, for rape
and murder. In this instance it ap-
pears that the negroes have concluded
to regulate themselves so as to prevent
a repetition of that dreadful proceed
ing. Last Saturday a week ago, at a
negro dance on farm in Kentucky,
opposite Mount Vernon, two negroes,
George Payne of Mount Vernon. and
Jim Scott, of Kentucky, quarreled
over Scott's. sending his wife home.
His authority was resisted by the
woman, and Payne supported her. In
a fight which ensued, Payne drew re-
volyer and fired, instantly killing Scott,
and then made his escape. He has
since been hanging about Mount Yer
non, his home, and on Saturday mob
of about twenty negroes came over
from Kentucky to arrest him. He fled
to Slim island, in the Ohio river, sew
eral miles below the city, where he was
brought to bay and shot to death by
his pursuers, his body being literally
riddled with bullets. This was the re-
port brought to Mount Vernon by some
of the mob. Others deny that he was
caught and say the shots were fred by
mistake. The body has disappeared,
and the mystery is the cause of consid-
cradle agitation. 1t is observed that
the negroes have ceased the pursuit of
Payne.

Edmunds on the Jurors Test Oath.
Washington, June 6.-In the course
of his remarks on the jurors test oath,
Mr.. Edmunds said: In regard to the
exclusion of jurors who had given a
''cup OF cold water'' to confederate
soldiers, ''that the kind of and which
would call for The discretion of the
court was only accessory aid; that
which was intended to further the pur-
pose of the transgressor. lie pointed
out what he thought to be the absur.
dity and viciousness of introducing
politics into the jury system. 1t was
the beginning of a practice that would
end in recognizing all other mental diff
ferences. Presently we would have
Catholic opposed to Protestant, and
would have to provide for free traders,
knownothings and all shades of politi-
cal and religious thinkers.
Further on in the discussion Ed
munds wanted TO know how it hap
pened that no negroes ever got on
juries.
Whyte did not know, except that
their names did not happen to come
ont. He had never heard any words of
complaint from the colored people in
this regard. No better class of citi-
zens could be found than the negroes
of Maryland. They were respected
and protected and had no cause of
complaint. There was practical dis
crlmination against the democrats in
drawing federal iuries in Maryland,
and it was nearly miracle if demo-
crat was acquitted in certain cases
tried before juries composed almost
entirely of republicans. Every republi-
can indicted in the state courts for
violating the state law, Immediately
removes his trial into the United States
court, where he can be tried by men of
his own political party.
Bayard did not think the bill con-
tanned any provision under which dis
elimination, on account of race, color
or previous condition of servitude could
be made, since it did not conflict in
any way with existing laws on that
point, but as he only wanted the bill
substantially to be successful, and to
prevent any feasible ground for criti-'
cism in any quarter, as to the action of
the committee or supporters of the bill,
he moved to recommit it.
