Murdered and b

KANSAS CITY, April 3.-The Times
Warrenburg, Mo, special says: On Mon
day the body of a man mangled by a train
was found on the railroad track. 1t now
appears that deceased was Carl Steidle,
supposed to be from Erie, Pa, travelling
westward. At Sedalia, Mo, he fell in
with a young man named Hamilton, The
latter telegraphed his brother to meet
them at W~arrenburg. There the broth
ers enticed Steidle to the outskirts of the
town, murdered and robbed him and
placed the body on the track. The Ham
iltons were arrested to-day and are now in
jail. They have confessed the crime,
which was of a most brutal nature. The
feeling against them is intense. Threats
of lynching are heard.

The Sargent Imbroglio.

CHICAGO, April "A Washington cor
respondent of the Inter Ocean telegraphs
that the Sargent case will attract a great
deal of attention in congress during the
next few weeks. He says Frclinghuyscn's
last move is regarded as a great blunder.
He refers to the embarrassing position
which Sargent has occupied at the Ger
man court, subjected, as he has been, to
serious attacks from the organs of the
chancellor. The telegram then says Sar-
gent was not cut out for a diplomat; he
was too blunt and cordial to intrigue, and
he never moves by indirections. His
candor on the emigration question and on
the i'll treatment of naturalized citizens of
the United States when they returned to
Germany, was not agreeable to the Berlin
press, and he had not been there three
weeks before they commenced to attack
him.
He arrived at Berlin, too, just at the
time when the embargo against American
pork was laid, and he at one exposed the
pretense that it was done as a sanitary
measure as a sham.
The correspondent speaks of Sargent's
letter urging the shutting out of German
i~mportations to this country until the
embargo against pork was raised, and 50
stated to Count Won Hatzfelt, German
minister of foreign affairs. But on this
point F~relingnuysen was weak and in
structed Sargent to modify his commune
cation. This was the signal for another
attack from the Berlin press, who us.
sumed and represented that, not being
sustained in this issue, Sargent had lost
the confidence of his government. There
is no doubt that the attacks were inspired
by Bismarck, for they appeared only in
organs whose policy is dictated by him,
and that his intention was to secure Sar,
gents recall in the hope of getting al
American representative at Berlin who
had not the same aggressive opposition
That he finally accomplished what he haC
been driving at, must be as much Il mat
ter of satisfaction to him as it is IA matte
of chagrin to the American people.
The transfer of Sargent to st. Peters
burg, and prolonged vacancy in the Amer
lean legation at Berlin, as was propose
by Mr.. Frclinghuysen, was just what Bis
marck wanted, and when Sargent ~realize'
this fact he would not accept the tnnsfc
because of the enormous expense attend
ant on the establishment Of the legation
2 even if he could have done 50 without tn
sacrifice of dignity,
He is u poor man, and this government
gives its ministers no allowance for lega
ton expenses, Mr.. Sargent, therefore
preferred to come home, as he will com
with credit, having earned the respect {
\ the American people by his c~ourageou
defeuse of their interests. Everybod
believes, as Sargent has always %insistec
that the prohibition against America
pork is a protective measure. and thi
there is no excuse for or reason in the sal
itary objection.

House.


WASHINGTON, April 3.-The house
resumed consideration of the Indian APP
priation bill. The pending question was
on an appeal taken from the decision of
the chair, yesterday, declaring in order a
motion made by Throckmorton to strike
out the clause appropriating Sl2, 800 for
the pay of five Indian inspectors, and to
insert a proviso abolishing the offices of
Indian inspectors, and authorizing the
secretary of wal to detail five officers of
the army, not under the rank of captain,
to act as Indian inspectors.
After debate the chair reiterated the
decision. The judgment of the chair was
sustained-ll4 to IA.
The motion was discussed upon its
merits by Morrison, who failed to see in
it any intention of transferring the Indian
bureau to the war department; by Cannon,
who did see in it a proposal to turn over
part of the army to the Indian bureau;
by Bedford, in advocacy of the control Of
the Indians by the army. How long, in
quired the latter, was the United States
going to support a class Of idle paupcrs,
who would o work? A mar who would
not work, white or red, ought to starve.

Senate.

WASHINGTON, April Bills reported
favorably and placed on calendar; For the
erection of a public building at Sacra-
mento.
Bills introduced in and referred for call
To provide for the establishment of a silk
culture bureau.
Senate resumed consideration of the
education bill. Pendleton opposed its
passage on constitutional grounds.
Beck said the proper way to reach the
object sought was to reduce government
taxation. One purpose of the bill was to
permit republicans and prevent democ Gratis
from reducing taxation by pointing to this
large appropriation. He thought this
new affection of the republicans for the
southern people wa. dangerous. Troy,
after withstanding a ten years siege, fell
when the Greeks brought gifts. This bill
was the entering wedge to absolute federal
domination i'll the south.
Beck then entered upon the tariff bill
and said he was glad the Morrison bill
had forced both parties to declare the
issue. The republicans were in favor of
protection, the democrats were in favor of
tariff for revenue. If congress would en-
able the south to buy cotton machinery
free of tariff the southern states could
educate their W children, He would
setting apart for education say > per
cent on all incomes over Eve thousand
dollars. According to the newspaper ac-
Vanderbilt would have to pay
about $40, 900 on this basis. He never
men twice. The republicans had
of the southern states once and
their advancement in prosperity only be
gan when the democrats secured control.
Williams favored the bill and argued
it was entirely constitutional.
Hoar and Harrison submitted amend
ments which they intend at the proper
time to propose to the bill. Adjourned.
