CONGRESSMAN MILLS TALKS.
No Changes in the Rules OF the House VIII
Be Permitted.


WASHINGTON, Oct. THE Hon. Roger q.
Mills of Texas is in the city. In conversation
last night with the Washington correspondent
of the Baltimore AmericGR Mr.. Mills said that
though in the minority the democrats were
fully conscious of their power and would use
it. I'VE do not propose" said he, that the
republican majority will pass a single measure
without our consent. For instance you NAV
depend upon it that the rules of the house will
not be changed by the republican majority in
any essential feature. We do not propose TO
permit them to be changed, as is desired by
Mr.. Reed and others, in any particular feature.
Nor will permit any OF the proposed legls-
lation looking to a control by congress OF the
elections, for we see very plainly what the pur-
pose of that is. The same can be said OF the
contest cases that viii come up before con-
gress. We do not propose to let the republican
majority be further increased by throwing out
democratic members, as seems to be the pur-
pose. In other words, we propose to exercise
control of the house iust as much as though we
were still in the majority, because we know our
minority is strong enough TO make us the
virtual rulers"

WooNsocKET, r. l., Oct 5-Henry An
drews, prominent business man, died this
morning at his home here. He was large
coal dealer and owner of the cotton mills at
Farnumsville, Mass. The supposed cause of
his death constitutes sensation which has
shocked the community Friday, Sept q, he
was involved in an alteration over a business
matter with William Blanchard, also well
known business man, to whom he had recently
sold his retail coal business. So heated became
the quarrel that Blanchard struck Andrews
with stick of wood, knocking him down and
infiicting wound from the effects Of which it
is supposed blood poisoning and death ensued.
Andrews and his family have, during his III
ness, been disposed to exonerate Blanchard
from blame. Mayor Grant, however, has or
dered an autopsy and Blanchard has been
arrested, charged with assault with dangerous

hunters in the vicinity of Pitcher, this

a huspand, wife and seven children,

barely cover their nakedness, and all of them
are more or less diseased. sixteen-year-old

brought here to the county infirmary and they

President Woodruff and his counsellors are

God is over this church and no power can de-
stroy 1t or impede its progress. believe in
implicit obedience in temporal and spiritual
things We cannot retain the spirit OF God
and yet be constantly finding fault with the

by what we see nor on the basis of the limited
opportunity have of knowing what they
are doing for the people. We should not crit

Elder Jacob Gates. Elder Henry, Apostle
Grant and Elder Abram spoke in a similar
vein. The church authorities are embracing
every opportunity to keep the people in line
politically, for they fear that with the loss of
political power ecclesiastical supremacy would
be greatly weakened.

OPPOSITION TO SENATOR INGALLS,.
He Has Made Many Enemies by His Dis
tributiOn of Federal Patronage.

ST.. LOUIS, Oct. 6.-Correspondence from
Kansas says that although the election for L.
s. senator for that state does not take place until
1891. there is already cropping out strong op-
position to the return of Senator ingalls,. 1t
is said the gentleman has made bitter enemies
of some of the most influential republicans of
the state by his method of distributing federal
patronage. His attempt to stradde the pro-
hibition question has made him quite unpOpu-
lar among the radical prohibitionists, and his
avowed antagonism to municipal suffrage has
made him many enemies among the supporters
of that law. The Hon. George r. Peck, general
solicitor of the AtchisOn, Topeka & Santa Fe
railroad is said to be. in training for the sena-
torship. and but for the opposition of the
agricultural element to the elevation of any
railroad official to public position, would be a
very strong candidate

been in failing health for some time yet
her death was unexpected to most of us.
1t was an event which touches with great
pain wide circle of friends and relations.
She was a woman of rare personal attrac-
ton, pleasing ways and a genial disposi-
ton. She had a natural gift to win friends
and retain them by the goodness OF heart
and the intrinsic worth Of character. Her
home was peryaded by her spirit of kind
ness making it the dearest spot on earth.
The twenty years of her married life
have quickly passed because they have
been years OF giadness. The light has gone
out OF that home. No one knows how
dark it is to him who is left except those
who have tasted the same bitter xperience.
In the home Of her birth, mother, broth
ers and sisters have lost one who was just
~ dear to them and whom they will sadly
miss In their family reunions. She was
well known in her native town OF Tun-
bridge and had the love of not only her
relatives but all her acquaintance. She
loved the religion which was taught her in
childhood and which gave her much calm
ness, patience and trust in sickness and as
she entered the shadow OF death. The Uni |

Seldom do we see SO many sincere mourn |
ers as were at her funeral which was at

ted with evergreens and flowers remind
