prohibit members Of Congress from act
ing as attorneys for subsidized railroads.

without debate, but is held upon tho
table 10y Senator Hawley'B motion to re-
consider the former vote. This motion is
not debatable under the rules, but they
may not be invoked. since Senator Beck
has expressed = willingness TO hear what
the opponent Of tb measure have to say.

measures: The bill to repeal the pre-
emptlon laws; the post office and Iegis-
lltive aDpr0r riatlOI bills, and the bill TOP
the relief OF r. z-J0hn Porter.

JUDGE. DAVIS DEAD.
LAST HOURS or THE DISTIN
GUISHED STATESMAN,

BLOOMINGTON, H., June 26-DGvid Davis died
at & o'clock this morning. He sank into cor atOse
state twelve hours before the end aud passed pain
lessly away, surrounded by his family.
During the early part of last evening he appeared
to be failing, and IL was felt certain that he could
not live through the night. At II O'Clock he re-
yived somewhat, and W. given milk and stimu-
lants in small quantities. The effect was for the
worse, however, for he at once relapsed into a
cOmatose condition, his pulse becoming very
feeble. During the succeeding three hours he
failed gradually, his respiration growing notice
ably weaker until the end came. The cause of
Judge Davis death was Brights disease of the
kidneys, aggravated by q weakened condition of
the system, dating from the time when he became
afflicted with the carbunce. His last hours were
calm and peaceful.
The funeral of Judge Davis will he held from his
his residence next Monday at 3 O'Clock p IN. The
remains will he inferred in the family lot in
Bloomington cemetery.
The following gentlemen have been invited TO act
Us pail bearers Hon X. L. Lincoln, \. L. Steven
son, James l.. Ewing, Lyman Burr, Frank D. Orme,
Duncan NJ. Funk, Henry W. Bishop, Lucus d.
Fisher.
News of his death was received in Bloomington
with profound sorrow. Flags were at half mast
bells tolling, houses draped in mourning. The
end was PEACEFUL without struggle. Once during
the night there was CLEAN of consciousness and lie
called his sons name, but he soon wandered
again. Judge Davis physician says the immediate
cause of death was erysipeas, the outcome of a
malignant Carbuncle, which first appeared April
80, hut that diabetes, which must have been iHsid-
iousy working for two years, was the primary
flesh. For a week before the end he had been I'M
conscious most of the time. Mrs. Davis was much
worn out by constant watching, but bears up
brayely.

ST LOUIS, June 2G.--An afternoon paper prints
the following item as a fact, but gives no names
"About month ago buyer from Hope, Texas,
now operating from Texarkana, made an agree
5000 bales of cotton, asking that in shipping from
reXarkana he he allowed TO reshp from St Louis
as in that way he could get better rates. Having
succeeded in getting permission To re-
ship here the Texas buyer who is very we'll ac-
quainted in cotton circles went to work and bought
all the scrub and worthless cotton he could get

a large roll of money and $500 horse in his pos.

THE KNIGHTS INCOURT.

MILWAUKEE,, June Elm the presence of a
large audience comprising many leading members
of the local bar, Judge Sloan to-day delivered an
opinion ON a motion to quash the indictment of
Robert Settling, state organizer of the Knights
of Labor, who is on trial ON charge of conspiracy
and making threats in connection with the boy
colts. As Judge Sloan practically held bOyCOtting
rs crime punishable under the statutes, the de-
cision has created a lively interest.
Judge Sloan ruled that since Schilling threaten
ed to put the vast machinery of the knights of
Labor in operation to prevent the public from pa
tronizing the firms bOycoted, he injured the firms
income, which was much property as machinery
or buildings, and that the attempt to dictate to
them against their WILL whom to employ
or discharge, was parallel offense. All organi-
cations of the kind seeking to interfere with the
business of the manufacturers or others, are not
in accordance with law, said the judge. Laborers
or capitalists may organize for their own protec.
ton, but have no right to take the aggressive. In
social and industrial life and our government, the
socialist, te anarchist and the bOycOtter have no
place The entire afternoon was spent in secur-
Ing jury. Eleven jurors have been secured.
Several of them are credited with being knights
of Labor.
