SENATOR'S ASK TOO MUCH.
Additions to the River and HarbOr
Bill to Be Expunged.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 22.-In the house
to-day Mr.. Butterworth submitted the
conference report on the bill making an
appropriation for an increased local
force to carry out the provisions of the
dependent pension law. The confer
ence report was agreed to. Mr.. Hen
derson. of Illinois, submitted the report
Of the committee on rivers and harbors
on the senate amendments to the river
and harbor bill, recommending nom
concurrence in these amendments and
agreeing to the conference asked by the
senate. Mr.. Kerr, of Iowa, raised the
point of order that the amendments
must first be considered in COM
mittee Of the whole. This
point being sustained by the
Speaker, the house resolved itself into
committee of the whole, Mr.. Payson,
of Illinois, in the chair, for the consd-
Grafton of the measure. Mr.. Hender-
son said that the senate amendments in
creased the appropriation carried by the
bill about .S5,0O0,O00. 1t was this in
crease which the committee asked the
house to non-concur. The senate
amendments were then read After
non-concurring in about one-half OF the
MIR. Mason, of Illinois, rising to a ques-
ton of privilege, said that some days
ago a resolution had been adopted,
alleging that certain gentleman had
been fraudulently using the mails to
create sentiment in favor OF the COnger
lard bill, and calling on the postoffice de-
partment for information on the subject.
The resolution had been sent to the
postoffice department with the request
that the papers in regard to the matter
be transmitted promptly. This had not
been done. He had called at the depart
ment three or four times, and had been
informed that probably the papers
would not be sent up until Saturday
night. Then they would be of no use,
as the previous question on the bill was
ordered at p. m. tomorrow. His
charge was that improper influence had
been brought to bear upon depart
ment of the government to retain GER
tain papers in its possession. influence.
social or political, had been brought to
bear to withhold from members OF the
house information in regard to pending
legislation. The chief clerk of the post
office department had denied him ac-
cess to the papers for the purpose of
making copies of them for usein the de-
bate. He wanted the facts brought be-
fore the house, and he moved that
committee of three members be ap-
pointed to wait upon the postmaster
general and ask that the papers be fur
nished in time to be used in the debate.
Before any action was taken the hour
of o'clock arrived, and the house took
recess until so'clock, the evening ses-
sion to be for the consideration of pri-
vate pension bills.
At the evening session, the house
passed ION motion of Mr.. O'Neill, of
Pennsylvania, bill granting pension
of $50 month to Caroline I'll. White,
widow of George B. White, late chief
of the bureau of yards and docks.
Thirty-two other private pension bills
were passed, and the house at 1O:30 ad-
iourned until II o'clock tomorrow.

conspiracy has been unearthed that, but
for its timely discovery, would have re-
suited in delivery from the county jail
here of number of the most vicious
criminals in the Northwest, among
them Tug Mahoney. burglar; Flaherty
and Moore, rape fiends and all-around
crooks; Weston, thug who blinded
man with red pepper in an attempt to
rob him, and others equally tough and
quite as notorious. For several days
''Red" Haley and Johnny Moore have
been organizing the crooks at the head

been made to-day to overpower the jail
ers and liberate the prisoners. but a
crook who has been "stool-pigeon'' for
the police gave the thing away. A
strong guard now protects the jail, and
the scheme will be frustrated. 1t is
known that at least thirty toughs were
concerned in the conspiracy, and it is
yet possible that the attempt will be
made when the men are being trans
ferred to Waupun, They will be sen
fenced in the morning, and all will get
long terms. A strong posse will guard

Best in Six Years.

Special to the Globe
P1pEsToNE, Aug. 22.-Crops in Pipe
stone county are the best this year they
have been for six years, and all our citi-
zens are consequently happy. Wheat
will yield from fourteen to eighteen
bushels per acre, averaging it right
through the county. The crop of oats is
unusually large, and the yield will run
from thirty to seventy-fve bushels, ay-
eraging from fifty to sixty. Barley,
rye and flax will average in about the
same proportion. If frost holds off for
a few days longer. the corn crop will
eclipse any ever raised here. and the
average is four times as large as any
former year. Several days rain the
past week has interfered somewhat
with stacking, but has helped out late
fax and corn wonderfully. The ground
is in excellent:condition for fall plowing.

GRoToN, S. D., Aug. 22.-The very
heart of this city was to-day reduced to
ashes by a fire which, had it been dis
covered in its incipiency, could have
been extinguished easily, but spread SO
rapidly that within few minutes 1t was
beyond control. The fire originated in
the kitchen of the Hotel Brunswick
by some unknown means and, famed
by stiff breeze from the east. swept
with alarming rapidity over the block.
AS soon as it was realized that the blaze
would be a hard one to fight, telegrams
were sent to the authorities of Aberdeen,
Redfield, Doland, Andover, and other
towns having fire apparatus, appealing
for assistance. The towns above named
responded by sending five companies
of tiremen, and these, with the local fire
brigade, battIed with the flames for
five hours before they were brought
under control at p. m. The losses,
with the amount of insurance, so far as
can be aScertained, are as follows:
