Congressman paid last year 5000 a week for

his extras made his monthly bills run up

KANSAS CITY, December 3.-A story Of
attempted blackmail was published here
this morning. 1t seems that on the night
Of October Slst q raid was made upon the

the remains of an estimable lady inferred

terry and the affair kept quiet This is the
story as told by J. II. Skurs,
recently the sexton Of the cemetery,
and his assistant, h. F. Gordon, to repor-
ter last night Col. NJ. S. Payne, President
Of the Cemetery Association, in an inter
view, stated that the men had told the Sec
retary that an attempt would be made to
get even with him for their discharge; that
he had no special objection to the matter
being published stating that it mad only
been kept quiet for prudential reasons.
The two men had been discharged, Ire said,
for negligence, without which the robbery
could not have been committed. They
were given notice soon after the robbery
that their services would not be needed
after November 30. Yesterday they called
upon Col. Payne, and Gordon handed him
a card, which announced that unless $500
was placed TO Skurs' credit and $500 to
Gordon by 5 P. NJ. in certain bank, that
the story of the robbery of October 81
would be published. Col. Payne states
that he suggested that they then accom-.
pany him 10 the bank. The men started
with him, but made some excuse before
they reached the bank and left him. He
stated that he will present the case with
documentary evidence before the grand
Jury, showing an attempt to blackmail.

CHICAGO, December 3.-The statement of
the mate Of the barge Lucky, which was in
tow of the steam barge Peters, whose burn
ing and sinking was reported last night, and
in which disaster thirteen persons lost
their lives, gives the following points OF the
horrible accident:
Nobody knows the cause Of the fire, but
the boat burned like finder. 1t was on its
last trip, and all seemed in good spirits.
The storm increased as we got out from
Milwaukee. The wind was terrific, the
snow binding and the sea heavy. The
flames were first seen about o'clock at
night. Our line was cut or burned of, and
we were adrift with our centre board lost
and our main sail split, and we were un-
able to render any assistance other than
lie around the neighborhood, which
we did until daylight, without being
able to pick up any body, and it
was pretty tough, but it had to be so. We
saw the baage burn right before our eyes
and could not lift hand to save the peo-
pie THE Captain of the Peters was Charles
Smith, aged 40, unmarried; mate John
Lawson, aged AZ, married, and lived on the
Lake.

LAYING THE ROPES.
Republicans Preparing a Programme.


WASHINGTON, December S.-Frequent
consultations have been held in this city
during the past two weeks among promi-
nent Republican Senators and Representa-
tiyes in relation to the legislation OF the
approaching session of Congress. Senator
Edmunds, Senator Sherman, Mr.. kasson
and other party leaders have participat ted
in these conferences which have all been
of the most informal description.
There have been no prearranged
meetings, but on several occasions the gen.
tlemen above named and others have met
and discussed the political situation, and
have tacitly agreed upon policy that will
receive the cordial support and endorse
ment of the administration. The recent
elections have satisfied the party leaders
that the people are looking to Congress for
a settlement of various questions that have
long been either avoided or treated with
contempt. Foremost among these qaes'
tions is that OF q re luction OF tax
alton and an economical administration OF
the government. The public demand Tor
q reformation of the civil service is also
recognized by the leaders, and an earnest
effort will be made to establish perma-
nent ten ure of Office with proper reguis::
tions and safeguards. Other issues OF
minor Importance have been considered,
but the prominent work for the present
will be the satisfactory settlement oil the
foregoing topics.

PHILADELPHIA, December 2.-The fatal
result attending the shooting feats OF Frank
Frayne at Cincinnati on Thanksgiving Day
has put stop to similar feats that have
been performed nightly at Clsrk's Boxing
Academy, this city. The shooting has
been done by John H Clark, and if at any
time his aim had been defective the life OF
Mr.. Fitzgerald, his assistant, would have
paid the forfeit.
Some of the feats accomplished by Mr..
Clark have never before been performed In
this country. The most daring thing done
by the performer Is shooting while stand
ing on his head. He braces himself by
resting bis feet against the wall, and in this
position, with the butt OF the gun against
bis shoulder, he fires shot disgonslly and
upward across the stage, hitting an apple
on Fitzgerslds head.
