ANSWERED BY KELLEY.
The Pennsylvania Speaks In OPP
position to the Bill.

WASHINGTON. April 17.-Mr. Kelley,
of Pennsylvania, took the floor in OPP
position to the bill. He said that the
enactment of this bill would instantly
paralyze the enterprise and energy of
the people. Under the baleful influence
of such law the report of the census
of 1890 would announce the overflow of
our manufacturing supremacy and the
reduction of our commanding CONNER
cial position to that of colonial depend
ence. It was studiously designed to
adapted for its purpose. 1t was con-
fesSedly partisan measure and was
framed in the interest of party whose
leaders appeared to be oblivious to the
overwhelming social and economic
changes wrought by the abolition of
slavery. The gentlemen who framed
this bill and could brook neither modifi-
cation nor discussion of its provisions
by their associates in the committee
were with but two exceptions repre-
sentatives of what was slave territory.
The bill was an anachronism; it had no
relation to this era, it belonged to the
saddest epoch in our national history,
the period between 1924 and 1861. Dur
ing that period slavery dominated our.
national councils and guided the adj
ministration of
OUR NATIONAL AFFAIRS,
in hostility to national interests, and in.
the interest of free trade, twice threat
ened war. 1t was in the interestof free
trade that war was threatened in sup
port of the doctrine of notification, and
it was in the interest of free trade that
the country was involved for more than
four years in fratracidal war. By
putting wool on the free list it would

Some Campaign Lies That Made
the Omaha Road Officials Hot.

I Some Campaign Lies That Made
| the Omaha Road Officials Hot.
When Mr.. Winter, of the Omaha road
read the Pioneer Press yesterday morn
ing, his blood went up to 90-odd in the
shade, and he made remarks which were
not complimentary to the editors and
| proprietorS of that paper. He put on his
coat and went to Mr.. DriscOll, and il
| reports are true, made it so warm fol
| that gentleman that, so far as he was
personally concerned, an apology and a
| promise to do better were Immediately
| forthcoming. The cause of MIR. Winters
| righteous wrath was the vicious and
! foul attack on the Omaha road which
| the paper in question had seen fit to
| make under cover of political Screed
directed against Aid. Petsch, who is
city ticket agent of the Royal route.
The Objectionable Siur that made Mr..
Winter hot was this:
Every woman of i'll repute that comes to
st. Paul, if she takes the advice of her
friends, arrives here over the Royal Route.
Otherwise she will find life in the city bur-
den. 1t would be wise thing for the officers
of the society for the suppression of vice to
have consultation with the officers or direct
ors of this line, in reference to this matter.
After Mr.. Winter had secured per-
sonal apology he went to the officers of
the road, and the air there was blue and
somewhat sulphurous. The heads Of
departments and all the Office forces re-
garded the attack as a direct and
gratuitOus insult. Their wives and
families travel over that road between
here and Chicago, and these men re-
garded the statement in the light of an
insult to their families as we'll as them
selves. Just what was the animuS of
the attack on the road, they did not give
out, but thought it came from
some personal grievance which
the editors of the Pioneer Press
had against them. They were also hot
at the rank stuff which was published
concerning Mr.. Petsch, who is city
ticket agent, and which reflected on his
business dealings. "Petsch is rustler
and the road knows it," said f. B.
Clarke. ''He is as square as a die in
all his dealings with this company
Mr.. Petsch has often been attacked
by the Pioneer Press within a few
months on account of little personal
grievance which Mr.. DriscOll has
against the alderman. He is
so hot that everything is be-
ing done to beat Mr.. Petsch, who is
candidate for alderman at large. AS a
result great deal of indiscriminate
lying is being done against the alder
man.
THE LYING HAS BEGUN.
A story was published yesterday,
which little bird says was tipped off by
Capt. Ed Bean, who thinks he wants to
be sheriff next fall, to the effect that Aid.
Petsch had threatened to withhold from
the gallant captain of Company ID
the $1,000 appropriated by the city
council for the trip to attend Gen.
Grants funeral, unless the company
went over the line for which Mr..
Petsch worked. People who read that
yarn yesterday pronounced it one of the
weakest campaign lies that has been
put in type this year. 1t was thought
by some to have been paid s'ad'' by the
Milwaukee road, for it was said that

WHERE is MIR. HAZZARD?
He Seems to Have Mixed Things
Up Badly in the Tenth.

1t is getting more and more mixed in
the Tenth ward, according to the ru-
mOrs that come in from that suburbs, if.
they are to be trusted. The announce
ment by George III. Hazard that he is in
the field on the Republican ticket
has stirred up some of the good cold
water divines of Hamline university,
who had thought Mr.. Hazard one of
their kind of people. They are SURF
prised that he is running as a Republic,
can, in opposition to good prohibi-
zionist. Mr.. Allard, Republican of
that ward, says that of the seventy-one
votes cast at the ratification meeting Mrs
Hazard had but twenty-siX, and SO he
does not see how the latter can claim q
Republican Endorsement. Mr.. Hazard
has not made claim to being a Demo-
crat, so it puzzles even the dwellers in
the ward to tell just what class Mr.. Haz.
Zard should trOt in.

BERLIN, April 17.-The emperor sew
eral times during yesterday partook OF
food, consisting of milk, eggs or strong
beef tea. Dr.. Leyden, in his examina-
ton of the patient, found nothing to
cause apprehension that the disease
would attack the lungs. The bronchitis
from which the emperor suffered has
not extended downward. At midnight
the emperor had two hours of refresh
ing sleep. and the physicians an
nOunced that there was no cause for i'm

The Preacher Sustained.

CHICAGO, April 17.-Rev. j. p. BrusIlr
ingham, of the Ada Street Methodist
church, against whom charges of ille-
gitimate parentage are still pending in
the civil criminal court and the ecclesis
astical tribunals. announced formally
to-day that he would resume at once the
pastoral charge of his congregation and
occupy the pulpit Sunday next. Ak
though the jury trying the case in the
criminal court stood ten to two for cons
victiOn, the Ada street church board
gave Mr.. Brushingham vote of con,
tidence. and his assumption of clerical
duties again is at the invitation of the
church. The name of Deacon Craft,
who was witness against Mr.. Brush-
inghanl, has been stricken from the rol
of the church.

weak and difficult Mr.. Conkling passed
away without moving aa limb. He
looked as though peacefully sleep
ing. There were a number Of per-
sons outside on the street waiting to
catch the last report. Within doors
there were between forty and fifty per-
sons also waiting to hear the worst
They were composed chiefly of repre-
Sentatlves OF the press and friends of
the dead senator.
THE LAST MOMENTS.

after2 a. IN. and announced the death
of Mr.. Conkling at 1:50 a. M.
In the room at the time OF
death were Mrs. Conkling, Mrs.
Oakman, her daughter; Judge Coke,
DR.. Anderton and the nurse. Mr.. Conk-
ling died in the rear chamber of the
second floor OF the residence. His bed
faced the west. 1t was dread
full struggle that the patient fought
against grim death, but at the last his
end was peaceful and unaccompanied
by pain. His sorrowing wife and
daugter were weeping at his side, but
the once keen eyes were glazed and
set in the struggle. Mrs. Conkling and
her daughter both bore up bravely.
DuI oIlo CIu0l lduy was filOot JIOStIdUSu.
MIR. Oakman supported her mother.
The ashen palor deepened upon
the emaciated face. Mr.. Conk-
ing gasped three or four times
and passed away. In death the lines
about his mouth and on his face
were slightly drawn. He was
much emaciated, but still his face
seemed natural. Immediately after
the death Judge Coke and DR.. Ander-
ton left the house. No arrangements
can be made tonight for the
funeral. The arrangements will
be definitely settled upon to-day
when Mrs. Conkling becomes more
composed. Judge Coke said that
in death Mr.. Conkling's mouth
was slightly open, as though he
had died with gasp. The nurse gen
tly pressed the mouth shut. Mrs. Conk-
ling is alone with her daughter, and is
completely Frustrated with grief. The
interment will be at Utica, N. Y.
