He Wants to Know Whether Naval
Officers Influence Legislation.


WASHINGTON, Dec. 17.-The senate
to-day passed the small deficiency bill
appropriating $150,0O0 for the public
printing and binding and Ss50,0OO for
preliminary printing for the eleventh
census. A resolution was agreed to au-
thoriZing the sergeant-at-arms to APP
point, when necessary, special deputies.
A communication from the president
recommending further extension OF
the limit for the continuance ofsthe III

in session at Washington, for two
months from Jan. |. 1890, was presented
and referred. Mr.. Chandler,otfered areso-
luton which was laid over, calling on
the secretary of the navy for informa-
ton as to whether unauthorized organ
iZations exist among naval officers for
purposes not merely literary or scien-
tific; whether any of them have been
organized for the purpose of influencing
congressional legislation, and whether
money has been paid or contracted for
TO INFLUENCE LEGISLATION.
A resolution offered by Mr.. Mander
son was agreed 10 calling on the secre-
tary of the interior for information as TO
the disposition of lands comprised
within military reservations that have
been relinquished by the war depart
ment. The house joint resolution to pay
officers and members of both houses
their December salaries on the Goth
instant was passed. The bill to provide

bama was considered and then laid
aside. Mr.. Mitchell withdrew the reso-
luton offered by him calling on the
pension commissioner for information
wanted in certain case. He said that
he had received the information. The
commissioner had explained that it
would be impossible to furnish this in

He Only Did His Duty.

Deputy Marshal W. S. Daggett did
not go to Minneapolis yesterday TO ap-
pear before the district court in answer
to the charge of larceny of two pictures;
and it is doubtful if he will ever be eX-
pected to do so. Attorney General Mil
Ter has instructed District Attorney
Baxter to do what was necessary to de-

merely acted in accordance with in
structions of the government in Selling

Ing a person on the charge of counter
fefIing. The Selling of Browns pictures,
it is claimed, was justifable; and it is.
probably, owing TO the fact that one of
them is among the collection at the

by Brown in preferring the charge of
larceny. 1t is thought that. since the
government has taken hold of the de-
Tense, that the prosecution will go no

His Life.

Ernest Rudiman Becomes Finan-
cially Embarrassed and Takes
His Life.
The cosy little story-and-a-half frame
cottage at 4OS Arbor street was the
scene of an awful tragedy yesterday
morning. Shortly before s o'clock
Ernest Rudiman arose from happy
breakfast table in that house and re-
paired to his room in the second
story, leaving his wife and chill
dren to finish their morning meal.
Before leaving the table he had sent a
note to his brother-in-law, William
Knoblauch, who lives in neighboring
house, asking KnOblauch to come to him
Mt once. As the latter gentleman en-
tered the door of the Rudiman cottage
its occupants were startled by pistol
shot IN the second story. Rushing up
stairs they found Rudiman lying across
his bed in the throeS of death.
He had shot himself through the heart
with bulldog revolver that lay by his
side. On table near by were two let
tiers, addressed in plain, steady hand,
one to the brOther-in-law, and the other
to Maxfield IL Seabury, the grocery firm
by whom Rudiman has been for
some time employed as col
lector. He was dead almost
before they could realize. what had
happened, and his letters only could eX-
plain the deed. A few lines were adj
dressed to the brOther-in-law in Ger
man, asking Mr.. KnOblauch to take
charge of his affairs and care for his
family. the letter to MaXtield IL Sea-
bury follows:
Messrs Maxfield & Seaoury. st. Paul
Gents: Bearer, my brother-in-law, will ex-
plain everything to you. Enclosed my col
1ections, which l am short, besides the
amount in my expense account which is
altogether about 500. NY brother-in-law
will explain to you that you will not lose
anything, but you will have to give him time.
/ am sorry this has happened, but 1 hope
you will think kindly about it, as l receive
E. RUDIHAN.
1t is a clear case of suicide from de-
spOndency over business reverSeS and
sickness and death in his family. Rudi-
man, who was about forty years of age,
was for several years engaged as a
travelling salesman by Allen. Moon q
Co.. and afterwards for the P. III. Kelly
Mercantile company. Leaving the
latter firm, he engaged in the
grocery business on West Sew
enth street. The venture met
with i'll luck, and he became bankrupt.
About the same time two of his little
children sickened and died. He obtained
employment with MaXfeld d Seabury,
first as a salesman and then as travelling
collector, but his creditors pressed
him, and he seemed to meet
trouble on every hand. The re-
suit was that he appropriated
500 of the firms money to meet his own
obligations, and. fearing exposure and
arrest, took his own life. He was
successful salesman and collector, and is
spoken of very highly by his employers.
Coroner Quinn has decided that an in
quest in the case is unnecessary.

RAIDED The LITTER BOXES.
Questions Which Are Now Caus-
ing Serious Trouble to the Postal
Authorities.

n
81 was aroused at about II o'clock last
night and informed thata raid had been
made on the letter boxes" yesterday re-
marked &. w. Hardacre, superintend-
ent of carriers. Il got up and went to
St. Anthony hill. made an investiga-
ton, and as a result submitted report
of the affair to Postmaster Lee"
The substance of Mr.. Hardacre's re-
port is that two men, apparently about
eighteen or twenty years of age, were
seen by Officer Mullaney at about 10
the box, corner of Holly avenue and
Mackubin street. He was then about
three-fOurths of a block away. He
moved along cautiously until within a
half block, when, seeing HIM coming,
the thieves started to run. The officer
fired several shots, and one of the men
fell twice. 1t is thought that he was hit
in the leg, but they were fleet of
foot, and the policeman, having
on heavy fur coat, was I'M
able to keep them in sight.
In their flight the robbers dropped
about 100 letters. A tour being made of
the boxes in that part of the city re-
vealed the fact that the boxes OIL Sum-
NIT, Holly. Ashland ana Dayton ave-
nues were robbed of all the mails, eX-
cept the one at the corner of Dayton
and Western avenues, which is the most
important one, as more mail is deposited
there than at all the others. About
thirty more letters were found Yesterday
morning at several places on Iglehart,
near Mackubin They were found by
some boys, There is no clue as to the
identity of thp thieves
Where did they get the key, and how
long have these operations been going
On? are questions now troubling the
postal officials. All the carriers were
checked off to see if they had their keys,
and not one was missing. A key was
lost about eight years ago. and it is pos
sible the robbers have it in their posses
sion. To provide against future raids
another question that puzzles Postmas-
ter Lee.

SHOOSIE, YE GAUD.
Entert by the Celebrated
Balmoral Choir.


The fifth entertainment in the "Star
course" was given last evening at the
PEOPLES church. The building was
we'll filed with a highly appreciative
audience to hear the Balmoral choir, of
Glasgow, Scotland. An attractive pro-
gramme, consisting almost entirely of
Scottish songs, was presented in
way that fully sustained the repu-
tatfon of the choir and pleased the
audience to such an extent that every
Item was loudly applauded and numer-
Gus encores were scored. The first
presentation was part song. in which
the "Star-Spangled Banner" was so
well rendered that the choir was per-
suaded to respond with a selection.
While the part songs and the efforts of
each sOlOist were meritOriOuS and
drew forth frequent applause, en-
cores and complimentary expressions
from the audience. yet justice requires
especial mention of Miss Goodwin, who
sang Gam Ye bysAttOs;" MI. Young
who sang "Blue BOnnets Over the Bor
DER" and the humorous readings of
1.-THE Foxes TAILS and "Shoosie. Ye
Gand" by r. J. Patrick. The entertain
ment was true poetic interpretation of
a programme creditable to "the land of
