on which the question turned, and in
doing so he had read, not newspaper
paragraphs, but the carefully prepared
and revised reports of speeches of Gov.
McEnery and Senator Eustis as prov
ing the truth of the facts established be-
fore the returning board of Louisiana,
showing fraud and violence and outrage
in the election of 1876.
Mr.. Vest replied to Mr.. Sherman and
again brought up Mr.. Blaine's state
ment in the senate, that if Mr.. Hayes
had been elected president, Packard had
been elected governor.
Mr.. Sherman denied that Mr.. Blaine
had ever doubted the legality of Mr..
Hayes election, but had said in the
senate, ana also in his book, that IT
Hayes was elected, so also was Pack
ard.
In long discussion between Senators
Vest, Sherman and Hoar that subject
was again gone over in considerable de-
tail. After further debate, which was
at times quite excited, the senate came
to vote ON the substitute for the Da-
kota bill and then on the bill itself.
The substitute was defeated-yeaS, % {;
nays, 26-and the bill was passed-yeaS,
26; nays, 23-a strictly party vote.
Mr.. Platt gave notice that he would at
an early day call up the other territorial
bills.
The senate then adjourned until Mon
day.

TEXAS JUSTICE.
A Now You See 1t, Now You Don't
See 1t Decision at Galveston.


GALVESTON, Tex, April 49, The
state supreme court has just rendered
unique decision in case where the
prisoner has been convicted and was
under sentence for theft, having taken
a bill from mans pocket in the pres
ence of several witnesses. The court,
in reversing the sentence of the lower
court and remanding the case for new
trial, ruled that, in order to convict
under the Indictment, the proof must
show that the intent on the part OF the
prisoner to defraud existed at the time
of his taking the money. He said that
the theft was committed under peculiar
circumstances, justifying the above eX-
traOrdinary ruling. The prosecuting
witness testified that he and several
others were in store. He was offering
to bet man named Williams that his
horse could outpull any horse in town,
when the prisoner stepped up, dipped
his fingers quickly into the vest pocket
of the witness and pulled out $40 bill,
saying as he did so, ''You have no nerve
to bet; | will bet him." Ten minutes
afterwards the defendant refused to re-
turn the money and denied having it.
The court held that the evidence was
not sufficient to sustain conviction. OH
the ground that the defendant had no
false preteXt to obtain possession of the
money, and in the absence of which he
is not guilty of the theft, though he
afterwards converted the money to his
own use.

Either for the Purpose of Avoid
ing a Lawsuit or to Obtain a
Ransom.
WICHITA, Kan, April ia sensa-
ton has been caused here by the alb
duction of Mrs. Eliza Nixon, an aged
and wealthy lady, from her residence
at 322 North Morley avenue. Mrs. Nixon
is eghty-two years old, and has large
amount of realty and other property.
She has been living with niece, her
nearest relative, for number OF years,
and is quite infirm. Yesterday morning,
the niece says, stranger came to the
house and had a talk with Mrs. Nixon
about lawsuit brought against her for
$500 i'm a land survey. This stranger
went away, and soon returned with an
other stranger and a cab. The niece
says she did not pay any particular at
tentOn to the men or her aunt, and that
she first missed them upon going into
the room where they had been talking
with the old lady, and found them all
gone. A neighbor woman saw the two
men carrying Mrs. Nixon into the cab,
and the vehicle driven rapidly away. 1t
was not long before the authorities
were informed Of the abduction, and
search was begun. Not the slightest
clue to the whereabouts of the old lady
has thus far been obtained. Some think
she was removed by friends to avoid a
lawsuit, while others think she was
stolen with the object of ransom for her
return.

tion was called to order thfs morning by

platform affirms the plank of year
ago. which demands free and untram-
meled suffrage throughout the South.
It denounces the efforts of the president
and congress toward the establishment
of free trade. 1t demands more liberal
pension legislation and condemns the
refusal of congress to pass the di-
rect tax bill and indOrses the

The last plank in the platform was an
unqualified Endorsement of Senator

WASHINGTON, April 19-The house
spent most of to-day's session consider
ing the Indian appropriation bill A
petition from the Maritime exchange of
Philadelphia against the sugar and mo-
lasses schedule of the Mills bill was
presented and referred. 1t was agreed
that the committee ON ways and means
would yield the floor for the day to the
appropriation bills, and that the tariff
debate will be resumed next Tuesday,
Saturday being given to the committee
on public lands, for the consideration of
the homestead bill. The house then
went into committee of the whole on
ments were adopted appropriating S12,-
600 for the Cherokee training school at
Cherokee, NC. and one appropriating
$4,000 for the education of In
dian pupils in Alaska. When the
clause appropriating $2,S5S,OOO for the
payment of the ChOctaw judgment was
reached Mr.. BlOunt, of Georgia, raised
the point of order that it was matter
over which the committee ON Indian af-
fairs had no jurisdiction, and thatit had
no place upon the bill. The provision
for the payment of Judgment was only
in order upon the sundry, civil or def
cheney bills, over which the committee
on appropriations had jurisdiction.
After some discussion, the speaker over
ruled the point of order, on the ground
that the judgment of the United States
supreme court was based upon treaty
stipulation, and that the subject matter
of the appropriation had properly been
referred to the committee on Indian
affairs. The committee then rose, and
Mr.. Randall then moved to strike out
the Choctaw judgment clause, and the
previous question was ordered On this
and the final passage of the bill. The
bill then went over, and the house at
p. m. adjourned.

LOSING COURAGE.
Emperor Frederick Is Becoming
DespOndent.

By Cable to the Globe.
BERLIN, April 19.-The emperor has
not left his bed to-day. Most distressing
accounts of his sufferings are current to-
night. 1t is reported that he said to
Chaplain Kaegel: "You, pray, chap
lain, for my preservation. rather pray
for my release" The emperor perse-
veres in the transaction of business,
and does not cease to write
concerning his work. His writ
ing is so illegible at times that
the emperor is often summoned to de-
cipher it in order to save him the an
noyance of writing it over again. There
were rumorS at midnight that the en-
peror's feet were swelling; that pustul
had begun to appear on his neck, and
that there was much discharge from his
throat. This morning Emperor Freder-
lex wrote on slip of paper that he felt
much better. He ate fairly good
breakfast and wanted to get up, but the
doctors would not let him rise. The
fact that the doctors cannot find evil
dence of disease of the lungs in no way
proves that the
LUNGS ARE NOT AFFECTED.
The results of the operation of trache-
OtOmy render it difficult to discover
symptoms of lung disease. The inter-
mitting fever and the quick respiration
are symptoms strongly In favor of DR..
MadkenZie's belief that the emperor is
suffering from pyaemia. There is
large crowd continuously watching the
castle. BV SpeciaI wish of the emperor
the public were permitted to come to
the iron railing of the first court yard,
where this afternoon for the first time,
the official bulletins were fixed.
The doctors on leaving the palace were
eagerly piled with questions. Empress
Augusta arrived at the palace at mid
day, and remained at the emperor
bedside for half an hour. The other
members of the family visited him to-
wards evening, when he felt fairly
comfortably, and read and worked and
slept little. The doctors held con-
sultation at 9:30, and agreed that the
emperor was better. The discharge
which occurred this afternoon gave him
much relief. The patients breathing is
free and almOStnOrm 1ttendS however
to prove that DR.. MackenZie's diagnosis
Of abscess in the trachea was correct.
The progress of the py8mia, the symp-
toms of which are very slight, shows no
signs of increasing. The rumor that
DR.. Bergman yesterday discovered an
indication that cancer is forming is
notsconfrmed. 1t is reported that prep
arations for the marriage of Prince
Henry and Princess Irene of Hesse are
to be hurried and that the wedding will
take place in few days.

The Peasants, Uprising.

BUCHAREST, April 19.-The details of
the rising of the peasants which have
reached this city, describe the revolt
as widespread, the peasants destroying
houses and property in most villages.
The houses of land owners and farmers
have been sacked and wrecked, grana-
ries pillaged and the local officials bar
barously treated, number of them
having been killed. The territorial
troops joined in the pillage and fired
upon the troops of the line. Since in
structions were sent to the troops to
adopt severe measures for the suppress
sion of the revolt, host of the insur-
gents have been killed and wounded
or taken. prisoners. The prisons are
crowded. Fugitives continue to pour
into Bucharest.

Diss de Bars Paintings.

New YORK, April 19.-On the
strength of the affidavit of David VOlk-
enburgh, administrator of the estate of
Samuel L. Loewenherz, an old art
dealer, who, it has been limited at, was
poisoned by Nine. Diss de Bar, search
was made to-day of Luther r. Marsh's
house, No. l66 Madison avenue. 1t was
suspected that Nine. DisS de Bars paint
ings which she claims were given to her
by King Ludwig, of Bavaria, were some
that she had stolen from old Loewen-
herr. Central Office detectives were ac-
companied by Mr.. Valkenburgh and
Maurice A. Friedlander, artist. Mr..
Friedlander identified about thirty val
liable paintings there as some that he
had formerly seen in Loewenherz' s
shop. Mr.. Valkenburgh also identified
the pictures as the ones which were
stolen from Loewenherz The paintings
are not the celebrated 'SpOOk pictures, +"
but are those which Nine. DisS de Bar
says came to her through her alleged
mother, Lola Montez. The possession
of these paintings by Miss Diss de Bar
and the demands made for their return
by Loewenherz, it is claimed, is what
led to the murder of the latter.

AFather's Awful Crime.

UNION CITY, Tenn, April 19.-Will-
lam Nedry, farmer who lives two miles
from Trimble, in Dyer county, left
home yesterday and is badly vented
to-day. His daughter, who is
about eighteen years of age, was mar
ried last Thursday and gave birth to a
fine boy Monday. Her husband de-
manded the author of her ruin, and the
girl said that her own father was the
man, but asked him to protect
her, as he had threatened to
kill her if she told it. A war
rant was sworn out by the husband and
given to the sheriff, who organized a
posse to capture the brute. Nedry
pa ssed through Rives about 8 o'clock
this morning, and will very likely be
captured tonight, in which case he will
be lynched.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, April ia general
alarm was turned in at 10 p. m. 1or a
terrific fire at the Bethel home. corner
of Olive and Main streets. The homeless
unfortunates who occupy the building
are transients. Some fifty or more in
mates escaped from the burning build
ing in various stages Of nudity, and
others with their clothes on fire. VI
those who escaped two are seriously
burned and have been removed to the
dispensary. The number of nightly
occupants of the home varies from
ninety ia 12O. AS only some
fifty or sixty escaped it is
supposed that a number are still
within the building. At this hour
12 a. m. the fire is under control, but the
fremen cannot as yet get to any OF the
bodies presumed to be in the burning
building. 1t is impossible at present to
state definitely whether any lives nave
been lost. as all is matter of cOnJect-
ure, but the general suppOSition is that
there have been and the number is varl-
ously estimated from dozen to forty. !.
1880 a. m.-The fire is now out and
the firemen are busily engaged in the
search for bodies. One corpse, mangled
beyond recognition, has thus far re-
warded their efforts. The register of the
institution was secured by a newspaper
reporter, but after squabble was taken
from him by the police, and is now at
the station. Those who escaped are
hopelessly scattered, and nothing can
be learned from the register. The two
upper floors of the four-story building
fell in and caused mass of debris,
which makes the search for victims diff
cult. 1t is almost certain that other
bodies are in the ruins. One of the in
iured sent to the dispensary, name un-
known, will die. The other is seriously
but not fatally burned. The full extent
of the disaster will not be known before
daylight. s,ss

NASHVILLE, Tenn, April ia hor-
rible killing and hanging took place
near Gallatin, Tenn, last night. Isaac
kirkpatrick and wife, Puss, both col
ored, were taken from their cabin,
about five miles from Gallatin, by
mob and the woman was hung and the
man shot through the brain at the same
time. Since John Curley's country
residence was burnt to the ground with
the enire contents, suspicion has
pointed to Puss Kirkpatrick as the per-
petrator of the deed. However, this
was only suspicion. kirkpatrick was
not suspected of having taken any part
in the burning. 1t is thought
by many that when the mob entered
Kirkpatrick's cabin that he recognized
some of the party, and they killed him
because of fear that they would be ex-
posed. The woman was discovered
hanging in her night clothes by Jim
McCullock, who brought the news to
Gallatin. Near the tree where PusS
was hanging lay the body of her aged
husband lifeless. Both of them were
brought to Gallatin this evening. where
they were received by hundreds of
negroes. Upon all sides the deed is
condemned by all law abiding citizens.

The Copyright Bill.

WASHINGTON, April 19.-The house
committee ON the judiciary to-day de-
cided to report favorably the copyright
bill, introduced in the house by Repre-
sentative Breckenridge, of Kentucky.
Several members of the committee,
while refraining from voting against the
bill in committee, said that they had
not had opportunity to satisfy them
selves as to its merits and would reserve
the right to oppose it on the floor of the
house, if it should appear upon further
examination that it would work harm
instead of good. Others were willing
that the experiment should be made Of
adopting an international copyright act,
holding that it might be repealed if
found to be unjust or unwise.

instituted by his wife, Josephine G.
Min. The suit was begun some weeks
ago, but was taken from the press, and
even the steps before Judge Jameson
were attempted to be railroaded through
without any publicity. The bill charges,
among other things, that Actor Min has
been guilty of committing adultery with
a member of his company. Judge
Jameson said he would read the deposi-
tions with the other testimony in the
case, and it is expected that under the
evidence decree will be granted.
