MINORITY REPORT AGAINST THE BILL TO PUNISH
RAPE WITH pEATH.
Senators Edmunds, Conkling and Mcdonald
to-day submitted to the Senate a minority re-
port the bill 10 punish rape in the District Of
Columbia with the death penalty. The report
covers forty-five pages of legal-cap paper. 1t
begins by saying the crime OF rape is one easily
charged and not easy to dlsprove, and goes on
to define and describe the crime ana contrast it
with others and the difficulty of obtaining pos
tive evidence to disprove such charge. They
think the bill would be retrOgade step. and
say Ito go backward even by single step is to
adopt one OF the vices belonging to the Jury of
barbarOus times. 1t is to borrow one OF the
worst features of the pretended administration
OF speedy justice by the committees OF safety, &C.
In the worst times of all governments such reg
ulations involve the principle OF attempting to
settle each case according to the views which
with the momentary interest it might itself
suggest, which DR.. Lirber says Is to establish at
once the most inSufferable tyranny or anarchy
Another objection Is that the bill proposes to
fix the punishment and regulate the mode of
declaring it In the territories as well as the Dis
Jrict This Is a matter the minority think that
belongs exclusively to the territories Senator
Mcdonald concurS in all except that part of the
report which objects TO the assessment OF the
punishment by the jury. The truth about the
report seems to be, from somewhat hurried
reading, that 1t is a strained effort to display
legal learning rather than to throw light on the
subject under consideration.

THE SQUEEZE IN WALL STREET.
A Result Of Over Speculation
What Secretary Sherman Is Doing
to Reiiece the Pressure.

Dispatches have been received by the Treasury
department, by bankers here and others, stating
that there is great uneasiness in Wall street,
growing out Of the scarcity OF money. so many
business enterprises, until lately idle, have been
put in operations, and so much speculation IN
stocks of all kinds has sprung up, that the
money market is very tight. New York has for
the past three weeks been complaining and
growing apprehensive Speculation runs riot,
and the money market suffers. squeeze .

under similar circumstances, the government is
expected to afford relief. The weekly pur-
chaseS of bonds by the Treasury department
for the sinking fund has done mucn 10 feneSe eve
the market heretofore, but they are not large
enough now to reduce the pressure 10 any
appreciable extent. The purchase yesterday OF
two millions of bonds by the Treasury has not,
Judging from dispatches received here from
New York, been Of any practical benefit to the
market Secretary Sherman, while willing to
do everything in his power to facilltate Dusl-

What Mrs. ChriStiancy Says.
SHE MAKES COUNTER CHARGES AGAINST HER HU'


BAND
The following statement was procured by
THE STAR reporter to-day from friend Of Mrs.
Christiancy who is authorized to speak for her:
.sIn regard to the statement in THE STAR Of last
evening Mrs. ChriSttancy says she was COM
PEELED to leave Peru on account OF the extreme
cruelty of her husband who even went so far
as to threaten her life. She ayowed to him her
purpose to procure a divorce upon her return to
the United States, and to make known to the
world his extreme cruelty to her, as we'll as the
true inwardnesS of his recent bargain with the
late Senator Chandler whereby the latter Sc
cured his resignation as Senator in order that
he (Chandler) might be elected to fill the va
cancy. Mrs. ChriStiancy says that the charges
now made against her are instigated by Mr. C.'S
friends in order to weaken her statement of the
true condition of the relations between them.
When both sides of the question are heard Mrs.
Chrtstiancy will not be found the guilty one.
She some time ago took the preliminary steps
learning OF this that Mr.. Christiancy's friends
started the stories about his wife,
MRS. CHRISTIANCY INTERVIEWED.
Mrs. Senator Christiancy was interviewed last
night, touching the reputed marital troubles
between herself and husband. The lady lives
on street, with her mother, who keeps a
boarding house. When shown the paragraph in
last nights STAR, which was the first intima-
tion she had Of the publication. she did not eX-
press much surprise. She said that within Il
month after their marriage the Senator treated
utI uduly, anu SUBSEQUENTLY, Weuo oo lai aS W
strike her. She says that when she went to
Peru this bad treatment was continued, and
that she left the senator Of her own violition.
She says, too, that the Senator had told her that
his position was such that he could crush her
out, and hence she expected just such a scandal
as she alleges has been heaped upon her. She
denies any criminal acts on her part, and says
that she has taken the step to procure a divorce.
In connection with this subject it can be stated
that six weeks ago Senator Christiancy filed an
application for leave of absence at the State de-
paTtment, and was advised that it would be
granted as soon as practicable.

WHAT He SAYS ABOUT THE PROPOSED UTE RE-
M0vAL.
The committee on Indian affairs continued TO-
day the examination of Chief Ouray. He was
questioned as to whether the agreement lately
entered into by the government and the Utes
was satisfactory to him, and would be to his
people. In reply he stated that, inasmuch as he
had fitted up q rancho at good deal Of trouble
and expense, he would prefer not to move Off
the reservation, but whatever would be Salts
factory to his people would be satisfactory to
him. He desired to return to the reservation as
soon as possible, in order to obtain the opinion
OF his people in regard to the agreement.
There might be some difficulty in perSuadtng
some of them to move from their present
reservation, but If it was explained to them
that not all of them would have to move from
Colorado he thought they would accede to the
arrangement 1t seemed to him the best thing
they could do to maintain peace. Ouray's wife
and the Ute chiefs Jack and SOwawick were
present during the examination, and manifest
ed the deepest interest in all that transpired.
Ouray was asked if he did not fear the whites
would swtndle his people and eventually get
their lands away from them If the proposed ar
rangement of granting them lands In Severalty
is carried into effect? He replied laughing: ..AsI
understood the agreement with the Secretary
the lands are to be inalienable for twenty-five
years, and think my people will learn some
thing by that time. II not they ought to lose
other business and go on with the examination
and hope to complete it in two days. The ne
cessity OF employing an interpreter renders the
examination a tedious one aside from the fact
that Ouray uses the utmost deliberation watch
ing closely the Stenographer, and evidently
weighing each word carefully.
The committee adjourned until 1e a. m. to-
