There was a large party OF very much dissatts-
fed New York Democrats in Washington the
latter part of the week. They came over on
Thursday to attend the services at the Capitol
that night in memory of the late Samuel S. Cox
Owing to misunderstanding or mismanagement
very few members had had their attention called
to the intended services, and as there was gen.
eral desire among MIR. Cox's friends in the House
that fitting tribute be paid to his memory the
affair was postponed at the last moment until
o'clock F. M. on the 10th instant. At that time
large delegation will come from New York.
Representative James S. Sherman, of New
York, returned yesterday from that State, where

friends who were badly mangled in a recent con-
test with the Democrats. He seems TO have

had taken on their accustomed bloom, after a
period of pallor which dated from the receipt of
the returns of the recent municipal elections in
his district.

DID CIGARETTES CAUSE IT?
The Suicide of Fred Reichenbach Attrib-
uted to Excessive Smoking.

Ahc SulClue OF SetChenbach Attrib-
uted to Excessive Smoking.
Frederick Reichenbach, a we'll known citizen.
yesterday morning shot and killed himself in a
lonely spot in the Monument lot, where the
old run, that formerly made its way diagonally
across the lot, empties into the river The body
was discovered by a colored woman, who in
formed the residents near by. Lieut.. Amiss,
of the First Precinct, was notified of the ghastly
find. The unfortunate man had shot himself in
the left breast, the bullet penetrating the heart.
Death must have been instantaneous. In his
pocket was found note in which he told his
wife his life had been one of deceit, that she
had nothing to do with the fatal act, and he
begged her to forgive him for the deed
Mr.. Reichenbach was the son of Mr. Fred
Reichenbach, who during his life was the agent
OF the knabe piano. On the death of the senior
Reichenbach, the business was carried on by the
mother, the deceased attending to the active
management On the death Of Mrs. Reichen-
bach, the Knabe agency passed into other
hands. Mr. Reichenbach continued with the
frm as tuner, and was so engaged up to the
time of his death. He was at the office yester-
day morning and took several orders to repair
pianos. He was an excessive cigarette smoker,
and was always seen with one OF them in his
mouth. 1t is thought that possibly the habit
affected his mind. OF late he seemed at times
to be in deep distress, for which no cause could
be assigned.
His friends said last night that it must have
been during one of these attacks of melancholy
that he took his life. His home affairs were
happy. He had charge OF the chimes of the
Metropolitan Church, having succeeded Pro
fessor Widows several years ago. He lived at
1OOl Eighth street. The coroner last night
gave certificate Of death by suicide
An immediate member of Mr.. Reichenbach's IS
family last night said that he attributed the
suicide to dependency, brought on by over
work ill-health, and the sickness of his two
children: whom he watched through tedious
cases of typhoid fever

A National Election Law.

A conference of the Republican members OF
the Senate Committee on Privileges and Elec-
tions was held yesterday, as a result of which
Chairman Hoar was requested to prepare bill
to regulate elections of members of Congress
1t is understood that the means to be proposed
will provide for the appointment of national
supervisors in every district in which a certain
number of voters shall petition therefor; these
supervisors shall watch and count the vote, and
make certificate thereof to a State board of
canVassers, who shall thereupon issue a certif,
cate of election to the candidate receiving the
highest number of votes and these certificates
shall be used by the Clerk of the House in max,
ing up the roll OF members elect.

y consummation devoutly to be wished for
is that the present session of Congress will ef-
feet a fair and rational settlement of the steam
railroad question, which will at once secure
maximum of safety to life and limb, guard the
rights of private property holders give the
travelling public convenient stations and pre-
vent the roads generally from being more of a
nuisance than 1t is inevitable railroads must be
in all crowded cities 1t is to the interest of all
parties that the routes of the roads within the
city shall be so settled that no possible occasion
for changing them can arise for years to come
Then the building up of the city can go on
without fear that this question will occur again
and again to retard development and disturb
business generally. To secure this guarantee Of
permanency great care will have to be taken to
reach a compromise reasonably satisfactory to
all interests.

For THE SUNDAY HERALD.
EASTER LILIES.

White lilies, o beautiful lilies,
Like spirits unloosed from sin;
Do ye garland the portal celestial,
For Hope and for Faith to pass in?
Fair harbingers stately and perfect,
Ie hasten, ere cometh the May,
And swift all your buds burst TO blossom
To welcome this glorious day.
In clusters, o messengers lovely,
White vestured, like heavenly born;
Your trumpets eXhale their aroma,
To herald the dear Easter morn.
Come We from the soil as symbol,
Oh, flowers symbolic, to show
That sins, be they ever SO scarlet,
May yet become whittier than snow?
Asforth from the mold g darksome prison
The lilies come, regal and white.
So Christ from earth's orbit has risen
And entered eternity's light.
Oh, emblem of purest perfection,
Gods altar receives thy fair bloom;
Thy fragrance an incense ariseth
Sweet incense of subtle perfume
Herewith, through the ether upwafted,
Thought soareth from earth to the skies:
And So like the breath of lily,
The spirit, redeemed, shall arise.

Balfour Deserts the Government.

TORONTO, ONT, April 5-A lively scene oc-
CURED in the Ontario Legislature when Mr..
Balfour, supporter of the government who had
failed to get grant for his projected railroad,
offered a resolution condemning the govern
ment's railway policy, which practically
amounted to vote OF want of confidence. The
resolution was defeated by majority of 10,
four Liberals voting against the government.

NO DEMOCRATIC TARIFF BILL.
The Party VIII Content Itself with Show
Ing the IninmItiea of th q Mckinlav NIL

The Party Will Content Itself with Show
Ing the IniquIties of the Mckinley BilI.
The Tariff bill will be reported to the House
next week, probably as early as Wednesday or
Thursday. The bill and the report of the ma
iority of the Ways and Means Committee are
now ready and by Monday or Tuesday the re-
port of the Democratic minority of the com
mittee will be ready. Mr.. Carlisle is now en-
gagged in drawing 1t up.
At one time there had been some intention of
submitting a minority bill on the lines OF the
Mills bill, which passed the House in the last
Congress: but that intention has been aban
doned. The majority Of the Democrats on the
committee and three-fourths OF the Democrats
In the House regard that as bad politics and
altogether nadvisable. They are satisfied that
the Mckinley bill is wholly indefensble; and as
opponents of that bill merely they think they
can afford to stand before the country.
1t is not the function of minority to con-
struct bill, and 1t is bad policy for the oppo-
sltlon to create unnecessary embarrassments
Tor itself. For the minority at present to try
Its best at framing tariff bill would be simply
to show whatever weakness 1t may have when
1t is not bound to put itself to the test, and it
would give the majority an opportunity of es
Gaping criticism by attacking the opposition.
This is the view which the majority of the
Democrats take 1t is this view which the mi
nority of the House has usually taken; and
the action will be in accordance.
Some Of the leading Democrats regard the
Mckinley bill as so bad that they cannot be-
lieve it is intended to stand alone. They be-
lieve that Secretary Blaine has had a hand in
preparing it, and that high duties have been
put upon raw hides and some other things in
order to facilitate a dicker looking to free
trade with South and Central America.

THE TOBACCO TAN.
Not Likely that an Attempt to Repeal 1t
VIII be Made.

Not Likely that an Attempt to Repeal 1t
Will be Made.
Speaker Reed will not recognize any member
from either the Virginia or North Carolina
delegation to morrow to move q suspension of
the rules for the purpose of passing resolution
to repeal the entire tobacco tax. It was stated
yesterday that the Mckinley Tariff bill con-
tanned provision dealing with the internal
revenue question, and to recognize any mem
Der for the purpose of putting on its passage a
resolution repeating the tobacco tax would i'm
ply lack of confidence in the Republican
party in the House.
Judge Perkins, Of Kansas. who is one of the
leaders on the Republican side, said to a HER
AID reporter yesterday that there was no need
for any such movement as contemplated
"The tariff bill,'' said he, 'sprovdes for re-
duction OF the tobacco tax, and think it better
to go slow in view of the legislation proposed
than to repeal the entire tobacco tax at once.n
Judge Perkins expresses the sentiments not
alone OF the Republicans, but good number of
repeal Of the tax on tobacco
Governor McCreary, of Kentucky, said that
in his opinion the Republicans did not intend
to repeal the tobacco tax. because it was not
the policy of that party to keep its promises.

publicans carry out one-half of their promises
there will be deficit instead of any surplus in
the Treasury. Take the ninety-eight million
Tor PENSIONS twentyfour million for the
urgency deficiency, and twenty-four million for
the Army appropriation, to say nothing of the
other regular appropriations and schemes for
s e1hausting the surplus, and you will see that
instead OF repeating the tobacco tax it is more
than likely that an increase in our already bur
densome taxes will be necessary to meet the
obligations of the Government

Representative DALzELI of Pittsburg, yes
terday flung back his hair from his eyes, at
tuned his voice to near nautical pitch as pos
sible, and boldly enunciated declaration of war
against Boss QUAY, Boss QUAY's methods, and
Boss QUAY's men, and all that relates, belongs
or appertains to Boss QUAY. Mr.. DALzELL did
this apropos Of the approaching campaign in
Pennsylvania for State officers, including Gov
ernor, for which Office the Pittsburg representa-
tive announced himself as for any good man
who could beat QUAY's bad man, DELAMATER.
MIR. DALzELL is not a big man physically, but
he is said 10 be composed largely Of fight. How
ever, as there are some things which Mr.. Dali
zELL does not regard as fair in political warfare,
he will be at decided disadvantage in his con-
test with Mr.. QUAY.

SUNDAY LIQUOR SELLING.
Washington Laws to be Extended to the
Whole District.


Whole District.
The Senate yesterday passed the bill which ex-
tends to the whole Of the District OF Columbia
the laws in force in Washington City against
selling liquors on Sundays or to minors.
Mr.. Blair expressed his intention of offering
an amendment absolutely prohibiting the sale
of liquor in the District of Columbia, and he
asked the chairman of the District Committee
(Mr. lngalls) whether an early report might be
looked for from that committee on the Prohibi-
tion bill referred to It,
Mr.. ingalls, replied that under the pending
bill the sale of intoxicating liquors in the Dis
trict was prohibited for one.seventh part of the
time.
Mr.. Blair-Oh, no; 1 propose to have It pro.
hibited for the other sixth-seventh part.
Mr.. ingalls, protested that the subject could
not be discussed under the five-minute rule,
which was then operatives; but he stated that
the subject of general prohibition and of high
license is under consideration by the commit
lice; that 1t has not yet been acted upon that 1t
is the intention Of the committee to formulate
some measure on the subject at the earliest
possible day, and that was all the assurance he
could give.
Mr. Blair-That bill has been before the Dis
trict Committee for several Congresses. I wish
to inquire how many future Congresses will
come and go before the committee will formu-
late its mind on the subject.
Mr. ngalls-Probably about the time when
the educational bill was passed.
Mr. Blair-There is about as much necessity
for the one as for the other.
Mr.. Spooner Ia member of the District Com
mitteel expressed the hope that Mr.. Blair would
not delay the passage of this bill. which ex-
preston called from Mr.. Blair the inquiry:
''ls the Senator from Wisconsin able to give
any information as to the time when the Pro-
hibition bill will reach the Senate?''
Mr.. Spooner replied in the negative, but
stated that Mr.. Blair is well aware that on the
question of prohibition there is very great
difference of opinion. Whatever may be
said Of prohibition in the rural districts, 1t
could hardly be successful in city like Wash
ington.
Mr.. Blair-Ths particular bill would seem to
be thought very good in the way of spoon vic
tuals, and do not feel like being an obstacle
to its passage.
This ended the debate, and the bill passed.

War Bounty Scrip Coin A-bcee;n,

ZN-DCHRTH =.
Riggs & Co., the bankers, Of this city, have
turned over to the Treasury Department, for
safekeeping, two certificates Of war bounty
scrip of 1s47 for 800 each, one of which is in
scrbed In the name of Franklin Edwards, and
the other in the name of James w. Owen. 1t
is thought from pencil memoranda on the GER
tifcates that these two men were soldiers in
the First Regiment of Tennessee Volunteers,
which served In the Mexican War, one of them
being private in Capt. Northcult's company,
OF that regiment, and the other in Capt. Fos-
ters company. Messrs. Riggs & Co., in their
letter to the Secretary OF the Treasury, stated
that the certificates had lain among their old
papers for many years uncalled for. The GER
titicates will be deposited for the present in one
OF the safes of the Division Of Loans and Cur
rency, and an effort will be made to reach the
lawful owners.

SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH, April 5.-The six
tieth annual conference of the Church of Latter
Day Saints began yesterday. Five thousand
persons were in attendance, representing
branches of the Mormon Church all over the
country. President Woodruff the head of the
Church. said in his opening address that the day
OF revelations had ended. God had revealed
enough OF the mysteries for people to see saliva
tion, and there was no need Of looking for more
divine utterances, The statement was a bomb
shell in the camp of the Mormons, who have
hitherto contended that all action of the
Church was detailed by revelations from
th> prophet, which is Woodruff. Other speak
ers 'nllowed in same strain, and urged strict
con- 'iance with the laws of the Church. A
leading Mormon said yesterday that it was ex-
peected that Woodruff would, before the close
OF the conference, assert that he had had rev
