FRANK JAMES.
He Is Transferred to Daviess County to Be
ar Tried for Murder.

KANSAS City, Mo-, Feb. 12.-Upon the rep
resentation of the Daviess county authorities
that they had evidence which would likely
convict Frank James of murder. Judge
White, of the Criminal Court, this evening
issued an order granting immediate delivery
of the prisoner to the officials of that coun-
ty. He was accordingly brought here from
independence Jail at o'clock and taken to
Gallatin on the evening train. The indict-
ments in Daviess county are for the killing
of Westfall and Mcmillan in the Winston
train robbery, and Sheets in the Gallatin
bank robbery. He will be arraigned there
for trial, and if the charges are unsustained
he will then be returned here. Colonel
Phillips attorney for James, did not know
of the movement until after the departure
of his client. In an interview tonight he
said he at once telegraphed Ex-Governor
johnson at ST. Louis, his associate counsel.
He was not clear upon the law regarding
such proceedings, but he denounced it as un-
precedented. Prosecuting Attorney Wallace,
Of this county signed the application for the
removal made by the Davies authorities

A Funeral on the Water.

Enquirer, Yesterday.
A sight that will not soon be forgotten by
those who Witnessed it took place in the bot
toms yesterday. 1t was funeral on water
The corpse was child of Mr.. Joseph Hilton
on Elm street. The child died yesterday
morning early, and hardly had it breathed
it's last before the water rushed into the
house in torrents. The Grape was hung on
the door to announce the sad and double
affliction, and preparations were immedi-
ately made for it's burial. There was no
time to notify sorrowing or sympathetic
friends OF the afflicted father and mother
AT o'clock neat, white casket was borne
to the residence in a skiff, and the tender re-
mains were placed in. it, There were few
friends who had heard of the demise of the
child who came in skiffs to pay the last
sad tribute due the dead. At o'clock
the remains were placed in skiff that was
propelled with muffled oars by John Sturns
and Ben Bogner. The funeral train was
composed of several skiffs, and as it moved
its way over the turbulent waters many
were the sympathetic tears that dropped
from the people who witnessed the sad and
solemn scene There was no funeral sermon
at the house, owing to the fact that no
preacher, those CONSIDERS OF grief, could be
found. The funeral train went down Elm to
Brighton, down Brighton to Madison, Up
Madison to Hubbard, thence to the Newport
and Covington bridge, where a hearse was
waiting to convey the remains to their final
resting place. The grief-stricken parents
followed in skif containing
the remains, and indeed deep
was their grief as they were fol-
lowing to the grave their last child, this
making the third that they have lost since
the beginning of the new year. The remains
were taken across the Newport and Coving-
ton bridge, where fully 1000 people had as
mbed, and thence to Linden Grove Gene
terry in Covington, where they were deposited
along the side of the two other departed
ones. Short farewell services were held at
the grave. Then the sad parents had to re-

TARIFF LEGISLATION.
High Protectionists in a Bad Eumor-The
Whisky Men and the Tariff.

High Protectionists in "a Bad Eumor-The
Whisky Men and the Tariff.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, Feb 12.-The representatives
of extreme high protection views, known as
the Pennsylvania crowd, are in a very bad
humor. In the counting of noses they have
fallen far below their expectations. When
the Senate scaled down the duty on iron and
steel, they said the House would adopt the
schedule reported by the ways and means
committee. To their surprise, the House
went back on them and raised the schedule
in harassing manner. They now openly
declare they will oppose any and all tariff
legislation at this session by every means in
their power. They will fight the Kasson
resolution. 1t is doubtful whether the rules
can be amended without considerable Demo-
cratic aid, and unless this resolution or some-
thing simiaris adopted, il will be impossible
to get through with the House bill in time to
pass any bill this session.
The whisky lobby is quietly working to
defeat tariff legislation. The whisky men
think that if Congress does not cut down the
revenues by a reduction in import duties it
will reduce the tax on whisky, rather than
go before the country with nothing done.
Two or three days more will probably decide
the fate of the tariff bills If the House can.
not choke off discussion by Wednesday or
Thursday, it cannot do anything, and might
as well quit. If the iron men and freetraders
are strong enough to prolong the debate
through this week, they can carry their
point. The iron interests are suffer-
ing from the agitation OF the tariff
question, and if they had shown DISPOSE
ton to be reasonable they would not have
Jared badly at the hands of the Sehate and
House, but they have been ntoerant and
ugly. There was too much of the Southern
hrigadier bluster in the u talk to meet the
taste of the jury.
| 1t is understood that Sehaors Morrill,, Sher-
man, Aldrich, Beck and hyard will COM
pose the Senate end of the conference COM
mittee, but as Mr.. Sherman has already said
he would vote against the Senate bill, it is
possible he may not have place on the com.
mittee 1t is expected that Messrs Kelley,
Haskell Kasson, Carlisle and Morrison will
be named as the probable House members OF
the possible committee.
