TIE WEEK in CONGRESS-.
One of Debate In the ssuato-samoan Mat.
teFs viii Come Up,


ters viii Come Up.
WASHINGTON, D, G., Jan. 27.-This
week promises to be one OF debate in the
Senate. Rapid progress was made last
week with the appropriation bills, leav.
ing only the consular and diplomatic bill
pending Of the four that were reported.
This will come up tomorrow and the
amendments proposed by the Foreign
Relations Committee providing means to
defend and protect American interests
In Samoa will form the subject Of u lively
discussion, 1t may be, however, that
these amendments will be considered In
secret session. -.
On Tuesday, under an order Of the
Senate made some days ago, the British
extradition treaty is TO be discussed In
executive session.
Some progress was made last week
with Mr.. S6erman's antitrust bill, as
amended by the Finance Committee
and the author will endeavor to press 1
vote this week.
Mr.. Chandler's resolution to investi
gate the Louisiana election is also pend
Ing and may be called up any time.
Armed with the sundry civil appro
priatton bill, which was not completed
last week, Mr.. Randall will probably
deprive the District OF Columbia Com
lnittee Of Monday, to which 1t is entitled
under the rules. II he does not, severa
other members in charge OF important
measures stand ready to do 1t. Promi
nent among these Is Mr.. Clardy, who
has undertaken 10 conduct the confer
enCe report on the Nicaragua Canal bill
through the House and is awaiting thu
first opportunity to present 1t without
encountering the opposition OF ono o
the committees in charge Of appropiia
tion bills.
The Oklahoma adherents havesignihet
their intention to call up their bill Tues
day, and as Mr.. Payson and other mem
bers' antagonistic TO the measure art
preparing themselves for q vigorous on
slaIght, a lively day may be expected /
the bill comes up. Later in the weel
appropriation bills are likely 10 play {
prominent part; and when the nava
bill Is taken up which Chairman Her
bert says will be at tue first opportunity
an entertaining discussion Of Samoan
matters will probably ensue.

man Lawler. Of Chicago, the well.known
exponent Of Democratic ideas to the
Socialists and other Democrats on the
west side Of the "windy City," passed
through the city last night on his way
home from Washington. He was called
away suddenly from the capital by a
telegram from his wife announcing the
death Of his mother.in.law.
Congressman Lavler was accompanied
from Washington To Harrisburg by Sen.
ators Allison, OF Iowa, and Cullom, Of
Illinois, The two Senators got of the
train at Harrisburg ostenBibly for the
purpose Of cutting across the country 10

Senators took Philadelphia and Erie

REAL CONFIRMATION.
This would take thcm many miles out
Of their wayi but Senator Allison will
be satisfied II he does not run up against
the interviewer. On his last trip
through the city he said the next time
he had occasion 10 come this way he

raj hall,


WASHINGTON, D, O., Jan. 27,-The In
augnral Committee has finished the
plans forthe decoration Of the grand hall
ofthe Pension Office on the occasion Of
the inaugural ball. The surface fronts
Of the galleries will be iestooned with
American fagsand in the space between
them will be placed alternately silver
plated armor mounted In plush, and
coats OF arms Of all the States and ma
tions. The latter will be five feet high
and painted In oil. The former will be
mounted on q backing five feet high coY-
cred with silk plush, Carved eagles,
trimmed with flags, will surmount the
coats OF arms, The face ot the galleries
will be further decorated with garlandS
Of laurel, and the columns supporting
the galleries will be decorated In the
same way. Laurel will be used extern
sively, A feature will be the panels OF
choice flowers suspended from the front
OF the galleries representing the execu.
tive departments OF the Government.
These panels will be ten feet long and
five feet wide.
From the dome to the center OF the
ceiling will be suspended an immense
ship Of state, She will be a three.mas-
ter and thirty feet long. In the center
Of the ballroom will be erected a Jap
anese pagoda, the lower part Of which
will be grotto and the next two stories
will be occupied by the bands. The
pagoda will DO an ornamental feature,
and will be the central point Of the
decorations. Immense portraits Of oil
Of the President and Vice President will
form conspicuous features, while in the
reception room will be a large tete-a.tete
chair made Of choice flowers with "Har-
rison and Morton" worked In flowers In
the back Of the chair.
A novel idea has been conceived by
the florist in the construction OF large
floral ball, which will be suspended near
the entrance when the Presidential party
comes in. The ball will open by pulling
a string, and a shower Of cut flowers
will descend upon the party,

vim were indicted for tho murder, but
were acquitted. February %, 1883, the
Chesrown brothers, well.lo.do farmers,
In q struggle for tho custody OF their
iather, resisted the execution OF a writ
Of habeas corpus and shot and killed
Constable William H. Kelley and Spe-
cial Deputy Jacob Holbert.
Four OF the brothers, Elias, Wesley,
Adam and John, and Merviu, the son Of
Wesley, were jointly and separately in.
dicted for the murder OF each. Elias,
who confessed 10 firing the shots that
killed the men, was tried first for the
murder Of Kelley and acquitted Of the
charge. The indictments against two Of
the others were nulled and the rest were
admitted TO small bail on the remaining
indictments.
Between II and 12 o'clock Friday
night the village OF Jeromeville, where
the murdered officers lived, was ocCu-
pied by a body Of mounted men and foot
men, who took complete possession and
began firing guns and revolyers and or
dering everybody of OF the streets. The
regulators were disguised in various man
ners, many wearingwhite coverings over
their faces.
In the village live William McColm
and Nathan Eddy, two well.known and
outspoken sympathizers Of the Ches.
rowns. Their houses on the main street
Of the village, which were old structures,
were soon torn to the ground, the mob
meanwhile keeping up q continuous
firing OF guns and yelling like 80 many
demons.
The mob. b.wasintent upon wreakingven.
genCc upon NcColm and his wife, whom
the raiders threatened to hang, but tthey
succeeded In making their escape. An.
other citizen, whose sympathies were
with tho Chesrowns, was chased out oil
tho village. The identity Of none ofthe
members Of the mob was discovered, but
they are supposed TO be OF the villagers,
nine.tenths Of whom were friends Of the
murdered men.
Foiled in capturing those most obnox.
ious TO them, the regulators started post
haste for the homes OF John and Adam
Chesrown, several miles away, but they
had been appraised In some manner ol
the approach Of the mob, and when the
latter reached the Chesrown farms their
intended victims had made good their
escape.
Written notice, printed in red ink, was
found on the guide post at the public
square in Jeromeville, reading as fol-
lows: "li any Of the Chesrowns or Ches
rown sympathizeH are caught they will
be lynChed."
