Senator Coke Paints some of His Fellow
Texans in Very Dark CoIors.
WASHINGTON, February 14-The SEN
ate to-day resumed consideration of the res
olution reported from the Committee on
Privileges and Elections, and was addressed
by Mr.. Coke. He declared on his RESPONSE
bility as an American Senator that the re-
port of the committee was unjust, one-sided
and partisan. If tie committee had been
prosecutors instead of judges, the inculpa-
tory testimony could not have been m ore
thoroughly congregated in the report, nor
the exculpatory testimony more thoroughly
excluded. The Senate and the country
should recoliect in reading the report that
1t was politics. 1t was based principally on
the testimony of the three memorialists
Hackworth, Moore and Schutze, and took
no note of the testimony of q witnesses to
the effect that Hackworth and Schutze were
men OF infamous character and unworthy of
credit, and that Moore was about as bad as
the others. He condemned, as the people of
Washington county and of Texas con-
demned, all violations of law there, and de-
clared that the attempt to fix responsibility
for them on that people had no support exr
cept the testimony of "the infamous trio
and some of their vilest coadiutators.'
These three had tried to make it appear
that they were forced to leave the county on
account of their politics, while the fact was,
Mr.. Coke asserted, that they had left it be-
cause they were regarded as moral lepers,
unfit for decent association. He would
prove that by reference to the testimony of
witnesses which had not been recited in the
report of the committee. He declared that
when the memorialists lost the public offices
which they had held in the county they
were covered all over with indictments for
official NAL easanee.
Mr.. Coke sent to the clerks desk and had
read the counter-memorial of the citizens of
Brennan, painting in very dark colors the
characters o. ,,Hackworth and Schutze, deny
ing all their material allegations, and pre-
senting the Democratic side of the troubles
in Washington county. He also sent to the
clerks desk and had read testimony in cor
roboration of this counter-memoriaL With
out concluding his speech, Mr.. Coke yielded
for other business.

A KICK FROM NEW YORK.
The Pennsylvania Road Charged With
Sending Grain Trade Elsewhere.

Send1ng Orain IraOe ElseWneres
NEW YORK, February l4.-The direct
connection of the railroads with the recently
discovered increase in the movement of
grain from other ports than New York, was
brought into strong light to-day by the dis
coEery that the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company has quietly made arrangements
with the Hamburg-American Packet Com
pany to run semi-monthly line of freight
steamships direct between Baltimore and
Hamburg. The first steamer sails from
Baltimore to-day.
New York shippers charge the Pennsyl
vania Railroad with being at the bottom of
the IDEAL" by which New York is said to be
losing her grain trade, but the railroad men
say that they hold New York far too dear to
be willing to sacrifice her interests to that
of Baltimore. The attempt is made to ex-
plain the enormous increase in grain re-
ceipts at Baltimore on the theory that the
elevator and lighterage companies there are
manipulating rates for the benefit of Balti
more and Ohio and Pennsylvania railroads
OF $500 cars of corn received at Baltimore
in January, 5000 were brought in by the
Pennsylvania road.

Speech.
PHILADELPHIA, February 14.-At the
session of the National Builders Conven-
tion to-day Colonel Richard T. Auchmuty,
of New York, founder of the Mechanical
Trade School in that city, delivered an ad-
dress on "Trade Training" He spoke of
the mechanical trades and the men who do
the different kinds of work. He said that
the opposition of the unions to education Of
the young men in the trade schools comes
from foreigners, and should not be allowed
to prevail. He urged all master builders
to control their own business. The address
was vigorously applauded, and it was de-
,cided to print it and distribute it throughout
the country.
Assistant Secretary Voshall presented the
following resolution from the Master Build
ers' Exchange, Of Syracuse, and it was
promptly adopted:
WHEREAS, 1t has come to the knowledge of
this board that strenuous efforts are being
made on the part of labor unions in this and
other States to have the conspiracy laws re-
pealed; therefore, be it
Resolved, That the delegates to the conven-
ton at Philadelphia be instructed to urge upon
delegates from other States and cities the
necessity of using their influence, personally
and as exchanges. to the end that the con-
spiracy laws of the various States be not tam
pered with.
Several resolutions reported by the Com
mittee on Resolutions were acted upon.
The one recommending the association to
use its influence for the passage of laws
making it felony for any person or organ
ization to prevent any American youth from
learning any trade or handicraft he may de-
sire was adopted. A vote of thanks was
rendered by the convention to Congressman
Butterworth, of Ohio, for his defense of the
rights of American citizens in the hall of
Congress.
St Paul, Mimi, was selected as the place
for the next annual meeting, on January 20,
1890, and the following officers were elected
for the ensuing year: President, Edward
E. Scrlbner, of st. Paul; Vice President,
John ]. Tucker, of New York; Secretary.
William H. Sayward, of Boston; Treasurer,
George Taper, of Chicago.

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATcu.l
WASHINGTON, February 14.-It is evil
dent that the closing fortnight of the
Fiftieth Congress will be marked by some
lively work over the revenue measures. The
treatment of the Cowles bill for the removal of
the tobacco tax and the re-enactmento of meas
ureS affecting the manufacture and taxing of
whisky, in the Committee on Appropri-
ations to-day, indicates determination on
the part of that committee to report the bill
favorably and push it rapidly to some con-
clusion. At the same time, the Committee
on Ways and Means will report the tariff
bill as amended by the Senate, in form
which will in some sense be compromise
measure 1t will contain the provisions of
the Mills bill which have been incorporated
into the Cowles bill, and thus one measure
will, to some extent, antagonize the other.
The Cowles bill, as it will be reported
from the Committee on Appropriations, will
have the support of the moderate tariff men
among the Democrats, and of others who
are interested in the repeal of the tobacco
tax, because tobacco-growing is the great in
dustry among their constituents. The lead
ers In the support OF the bill among the
Democrats will be the Randall faction,
which is bold enough to assert itself since
the elections They will take the ground
that it will be impossible to enact anything
in the way of tariff legislation this session,
and that if there is to be reform of revenue
taxation it must be accomplished by means
of separate bill, like the Cowles measure,
and not by measures that must stand or fall
with tariff legislation which meets the ap-
proval of the Mills -Breckinridge McMilien
faction.
Whether the latter will persist in antago
nizing the Cowles bill, despite the general
desire throughout the South for its passage,
is a matter which can only be decided when
the fight begins. The feeling is quite bitter
between the two committees, and there is no
guessing what effect it will have on the pro-
posed revenue legislation.

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH,


WASHINGTON, February 14.-Probably
never before in the history of Congress have
the qualification of candidates for Speaker
ship been discussed more critically than at
the present time, when new Congress
might almost be said TO be on the eve of an
extra session, under circumstances that may
try to the utmost the good temper and pa
thence of both political parties. No one
now doubts that there will be an extra ses-
sion. President-elect Harrison has given
his opinion on that subject freely in favor
of a called session, TO convene no later than
the first week in May.
One of the first duties of the dominating
party in the new Congress will be to decide
election contests for the purpose of strength
ening the majority. Even Democrats ad
nit that many OF the certificates given to
candidates of their party were probably in
fuenced to some extent by the extreme close
ness of the elections. But here is just where
the rub will begin.
THE QUESTION OF JUSTICE
has never had much influence in the deter
mination of contests, no matter which party
had the majority, evidence of which was
given no longer ago than yesterday, in the
decision in the Smalls case.
Therefore, while the Republicans will be
determined to add to their number the can
didate Of their party, in every contest where
there is shadow of excuse for so doing, the
Democrats will resist to the utmost on ac-
count of the closeness of the party vote and
the advantage they will have in compelling
compromises on political questions so long
as they can maintain minority only two or
three votes short of the majority. To carry
out their scheme they will filibuster
against the decision of contests in every case
where 1t is apparent that the Republicans
will, as body, support the admission of
their own contestant. This will undoubt-
edly lead to scenes of great disorder, and if
a Speaker be in the chair who lacks the
qualities of fine parliamentarian and of a
commander of men, developed in the high
est degree, there will be confusion worse
confounded.
A GROUP HARD TO BEAT.
1t would be hard to find a group of men
who would average better in these qualities
than the half-dozen prominent candidates
for Speaker now before the country. Messrs.
Mckinley, Cannon, Burrows, Bayne, Reed
and Henderson, of Iowa, are all admitted
to be excellent Parliamentarians. They
are all firm, aggressive and fearless on the
floor of the Hosse, but just which one
would best fill the bill in the chair when
each day will present the probability of a
tremendous row, is a question which the
Republicans of the next Congress who are
members of this Congress are trying to solve.
Personal considerations and sectional
lines will apparently have less influence
than was at first intimated. The sole pur-
pose will be to choose that man who will be
most surely master of the situation as it is
forecast by the grave features of the case,
who will be always cool and fearless, and
who will not hesitate to promptly put unruly
members under arrest if that should be nee
essary.

For the Next SpeakerShip.

THE RANDALLITES GETTING BOLDER.
They Will be beard From on All Tariff Legislation
in the Future.

The Speaker of the next Congress, it is
expected, will have a bear garden to con-
troll Much bitter feeling is bound to arise
over the contests that are sure to be decided
by the majority in favor of strengthening
that majority. Just which one of the
avowed candidates would make the best
Speaker is now puzzling Republican lead
ers. The Randall faction is bolder since the
elections. 1t will have more to say about
tariff legislation than it had during the talk
over the Mills bill.

WASHINGTON, February 14.-It is said
at the State Department that as there is not
the slightest wish or desire on the part of
the President or Secretary Bayard to en-
barrass the incoming administration with
respect to its Samoan policy, it is not at all
likely that the present administration will
arrogate to itself the selection of the Ameri-
can representative at the proposed confer
ence at Berlin, or that it will take any ac-
tion whatever that might tend to commit
the next administration.

CHARLESTON'S SHOOTING AFFAIR.
The G~overness Testifies to Clandestined
Meetings with the Murdered Man..

The Governess Testifies to Clandestined
Meetings with the Murdered Man.
CHARLESTON. s. c., June 25.-The Nc
Dow trial was resumed this morning. The
state thus far has established beyond
question the killing and the fact hat Nc
Dow shot Dawson in the back and the fact
that he tried to bury the body.
Helene, the French governess of Captain
Dawson's children, and the cause of the
shooting, testified that she met Mellow for
the first time in February and had almost
daily interviews with him until the day of
the shooting. She had an interview with
him in Captain D~awson's library, and also
in an clubhouse in Captain Dawson's yard.
He kissed her twice at the final interview
in the upper part of the city where Mellow
endeavored to take her into a room of an
old colored woman. She refused and re.
turned home. Mellow gave her a gold
watch. He promised to get a divorce
from his wife.
She never permitted an improperly, and
thought McDow's object in making her 90
into the colored woman's house was to
escape discovery by a detective said by
mellow to be following them.

BACCILLI CRANKs REFUSED.

Evidently the Australians are not as
anxious to import microbes and disease
germs as many other peoples seem to be.
The questionable and in many cases
positively re%prehensible practice of in
oculating a healthy person with a dis
ease in order to throw off a similar
disease is doubtless spreading consump-
tion and all the scrofulous and syphi-
letic conditions broadcast over the world,
doing al unreasonable amount of
harm.
A dispatch dated Plymouth, June 81,
contains the following announcement:
Drs. Germont and Lloyd, representa-
tives Of M. Pasteur, OF Paris, who went to
Australia twelve months since with q
secret in their possession, which they al
legged would exterminate the rabbits, came
home by the steamer Cuzco yesterday.
They complain bitterly OF their treatment
in Australia. The passage of the law pre-.
venting the introduction of microbes was
only an example Of the difficulties which
were systematically placed in their way.
The rabbit commission reported that Pas
tours system was not dangerous, but was
inefficient. They, however, refused to allow
q public trial to be made.
The Australians are wiser than they
will be generally given credit with
being, in this instance. The rabbits are
at least, edible, now. Inoculated with
a disease that, the private experiments
showed. did them no harm, transferred
to the human system it might become
fatal, they might become a
pest than they now are. Ordin-
arily tapeworm does not apparently
harm the lower animals, but when it
gets into the human, it is anything but
pleasant, to say the least. Measles do
not disturb the hog, but when it gets
into the human system it is Obstructive. |
Thus it is with nearly all diseases. They
spread to man from the lower animals,
and become deadly, as is the case with
disease in all low forms of life spreading
higher forms.

BITTER TO THE END,
Several Thousand Dollars in Greenbacks
and Bonds, Wilfully Burned.

Several Thousand Dollars in Greenbacks
and Bonds, Wilfully Burned.
A special to the Nashville, Tenn, "Ameri-
can" from Franklin, Kentucky, says: This
town is agog with excitement, tonight,
over a sensation that is somewhat out of
the usual routine. William J. Hilton, a
wealthy and misery old merchant of this
city, who is thought to be on his dying bed,
to-day, CROPPED out OF his bed, which is
situated in the back part of his store, and
entered the store. He was followed by an
old negro man, his attendant, whom he
ordered to take a certain nail keg and put
it on the fire in his room.
The keg was headed up at both ends,
he told the negro that it had a few nails
and some old papers, a will among other
things, that he wished to destroy. The ne
gro did as directed, little dreaming that he
was consigning to the flames about $780,.
900 in g~reenbacks and government bonds.
But such was the case.
Soon after the act was done a gentleman
went in, and, seeing a large pile OF burnt
nails in the fireplace and what seemed to
be the smoking remains OF burnt papers,
and suspecting that all was not right,
began to make an examination of the
ashes, and found what. to the naked eye
was plainly visible, a huge mass OF burned
greenbacks and 4 per cent. government
bonds.
Mr.. Hilton has a wife and one child, =
profigate son, who has given him a great
deal of trouble. He and his wife have been
separated for some time, and she is now
prosecuting a suit for divorce and alimony
against him. A great deal of bitterness
has grown out OF the suit, and it is thought
he preferred to see his property in ashes
rather than for his wife and son to inherit
it. He is not expected to live many days,
and is now too feeble to talk and refuses to
divulge anything. He has a great antipa-
thy to lawyers, and has said he feared they
and his wife would get all he had. A guard
has been placed around bis store t o-night
fear he will have it in flames. Legal
proceedings were taken out to have him de-
clared a lunatic this evening, but the jury |
found him OF sound mind.

ut makes little difference to the peo-
pie Of this country what the Mexican
miners receive" declares the "Inter
Mountain" Oh, of course notl Every
man for himself and the Devil take the
headmost," it should have added. But
it does make a difference to the American
miner and laborer whether the govern
ment OF this country imports a system
that will result in bringing wages down
to the level of those in Mexico and other
countries where high tariff prevails.
That is the point. What reason is there
for believing that a'system that brings
beggary to the masses in one country,
will not do the same in another? In
other words, what reason is there for be-
lieving that high taxes will make the
American laborer rich, while it clearly
impoverishes the masses in all other
chimes?
