The Senate Will Undoubtedly
Pass the Bill.
ELECTION FRAUDS IN CHICAGO.
An Alderman and Central Committeeman
Are Arrested For Voting Reporters in
Place of ''Stay-at-Homes.r

WASHINGTON, May 1.-[Special telegram
TO The HERALD. lit is expected that the
Idaho admission bill will be the next meas
ure considered in the Senate. 1t will
hardly get up tomorrow, but it may be
reached Saturday. There is no doubt that
the bill, unjust as it is in some of its pro-
visions, will pass. 1t is so drawn that it
will legislate Delegate Dubois out of office
Immediately when it is signed by the Pres
ident. Mr.. Dubois expects, however, that
his self-sacrifice will bring great and
speedy reward. 1t is the generally
accepted belief here that he will secure
an election to the United States Senate
shortly after the assembling of the new
state legislature. l take it, as does every
one else who has any knowledge of west
ern matters at this point, that this is the
least Dubois constituents can do for him.
He has given expression to their wishes in
all matters affecting the Mormon people
with malevolence of spirit and tenacity
OF purpose far beyond that which any of
his predecessors ever displayed He has
done his work well, from their standpoint,
and they ought to be grateful to him, as l
am assured they are.

Socialist Meeting in New York.

New YORK, May l. New York city's
end of the worldwide labor demonstration
tonight was not great success so far as
the numbers who paraded and attended the
Union square meeting were concerned
Probably not more than two thousand per-
sons were at the speakers stand at one
time. In the procession were about five
thousand paraders. Rain partly excused
this apparent want of enthusiasm. The
meeting was under the auspices of the So
cialist party. Fear that there might be
some trouble had induced the police to take
very careful precautions, but they were
not called upon to exhibit themselves
The resolutions adopted recited that the
eight hour demand is only temporary re-
lief from capitalism. Nothing but Social
ism will solve the labor question.
Therefore it was resolved that demand be
made that the hours of labor be reduced to
eight 1t should be decreed by statute. In
the struggle the ultimate object is the
abolition of the wage system and should
not be lost sight Of through the triumphs
of Socialism. There were three speakers
stands. The principal speaker was
ySerquis Eschevitca. He said the meeting
was the beginning of the end, but the end
would not come until they had the earth
and the fullness thereof. He concluded by
asking all TO be true to the red flag There
were eighteen of these flags displayed
upon the stand but among all the banners
and transparances only two United States
flags were seen and one of those had nine
huge skull and cross bones printed on it.
The other flag had a yellow cross beneath
the stars

Brown, breaking lose, took to his heels

Harris knocked Brown down, but he popped
up like cork. and assumed the off en-

shot shaving off one of Browns
eye brows neatly, another making slight
wound in the arm. Then both men ske-
daddled with Chief Farley, who was in the
immediate vicinity at the time, after them.
Harris is now under bonds for shooting
with intent to kill. He says Brown called
his wife French woman. Brown ex
plains this by saying that Mrs. Harris, who
bought supplies at his store, including a
good lot Of whisky, asked him if he was
German, and with his negative reply he
asked if she was French. Brown has only
been here three weeks, and he said he sup

AMID THE FLAMES.
Terrible Fire in a Building in
Omaha.
HALF A HUNDRED HUMAN BEINGS
Barely Escape Death by Burning-The Fran
tic Cries of Poor Dane-0rigin
of the Conflagration.

OMAHA, May Especial telegram to
THE HERALD. About 10 80 this morning
the big fire alarm of the day was sounded.
AT that hour the pedestrians on Howard
street, between Fifteenth and Sixteenth,
were startled by the appearance of poor
little Dane who dashed in and out of the
door of Drage's tailor shop, 1879 Howard
street, distractedly wringing his hands and
in broken English telling the crowd that
''Drage's shop is burning" He meant
more than that, but in his terror and with
his broken Speech, he had failed to make
anyone understand. The crowd, in the
meantime, had gathered itself together
taking out into the street the stock of
goods toward which the flames were max
ing their way. On the second floor is the
dressmaking establishment of Jane Wal
lace, whose thirty five girls and women
were at work, while the third is devoted
to roomers, the basement being occupied
by a steam laundry where forty employees
were actively engaged at their labor. In
an instant the narrow stairway, the only
means of egress from the upper stories,
was choked with flames and smoke, while
the swapping and cracking of the glass
and wood of the tailor shop mingled
with the roar of the flames
Half dozen roomers in their night clothes
came dashing down the stairs, blinded and
dizzy. Then the door was shut for fear of
the draught. A white-faced man dashed
up to the door and flung it open. He was
grasped by the crowd, pulled back and the
door closed in his face ''Stand back, you,
stand back" he yelled. My wife is up
there; my wife is up there" Then the
crowd for the first time looked up and at
every window in the building saw the
blanched faces of from two to
a half dozen girls and then
the fire department arrived. The crowd
below encouraged the inmates by CHEEKY
words that all was we'll On the arrival of
the fire department ladders were run up at
once ald the work of rescuing the girls
began. One of the patrol drivers carried
down the ladder six women who were per-
fectly powerless. One white haired old
lady had stood patiently at second story
window just above the tailor shop without
uttering a sound and her example seemed
to inspire the others with courage. The
fire was extinguished after the hose
arrived and then Chief Gallegan
having heard that some one was
in the tailor shop at the time of the
breaking out of the flames, began an exam
ination. Under the charred stairway was
what looked like bundle of rags, but
which on closer examination revealed
shrivled elbow. The rags were removed
and revealed the contorted body of the pro-
prietor, N. H. Drage, burned almost to
crisp. His burning clothes, which had
caught fire from can Of gasoline that in
some mysterious way had set fire to the
building. The gasoline had done its work.
The loss is variously estimated, but is
largely covered by insurance.

Labor Day in Pittsburg.

PITTsBURG, May Labor day in Pitts
burg was uneventful. Peace and harmony
prevailed in all branches of business save
the cornice and tin work industry. Three
hundred timers came out this morning for
an advance of 25 cents per day, and seven
firms have already granted their demands.
1t is thought the strike will be over by
Saturday. Throughout western Pennsyl-
vania, however. a number of strikes were
reported to-day. At Johnstown, Scottdale,
Jeanette, Greensburg and Braddock the
carpenters and joiners came out for eight
hours work or an increase of wages. The
demands have not been granted, and build
ing operations have been practically sus-
pended at these points. At McKeesport
there was monster demonstration to-
night, under the auspices of the carpenters

Land Grants in New Mexico.

WASHINGTON, May 1.-The delegation of
prominent citizens from New Mexico here
to secure legislation especially with regard
TO the adjustment of land grants in the
territory, called upon the President to-
day. The President said these land claims
should have been adjusted long ago. 1t
was difficult problem to determine the
best method. He had the matter under
consideration and would do all he could to
secure a settlement. If necessary he would
send special message to Congress.
Secretary Blaine, who was called upon,
said it was almost incredible that these
Mexican land grants had not been adjusted.
The Mexican government recently called
attention to the failure to I'LL the treaty
stipulations, and he had laid the papers
before the President.

A Fall of Rock at Quebec.

Especial to THE HERALD-Examlner Dispatch
QUEBEC, May IA family of nine PEG
pie narrowly escaped death yesterday by
another fearful landslide from the heights
of Quebec At one point mass of rock
weighing considerably over one hundred
tons fell from the top of the cliff almost
Immediately below the Sillery church and
crushed the back of a house, driving it
about four feet out into Champlain street.
The house was owned and occupied by Mrs.
Tabor, her maiden daughter and widowed
daughter. One of her daughters hearing
stones fall, went down stairs to see what
was the cause of the noise, for all slept I'D
stairs, and this was their salvation See
ing all apparently safe she again went up
stairs and in about ten minutes the family
were awakened by the shock and on going
down stairs found the house smashed in
and half full of rock. The furniture was
totally destroyed. If the structure had
been of brick or stone nothing could have
saved the unhappy inmates and all would
have been buried beneath the ruins Water

into the crevices Of the slaty rock and its
subsequent expansion as the frost operated

force greater than that of gunpowder.

in his speech, which was a lengthy one,
spoke of the worlds movement for eight
hours and defended the workingmen
against the charge that their extra hours of
leisure would be devoted to debauchery
and the cultivation Of vicious habits. This
ne said, was base insult against

of every hundred were condemned for the
deeds OF the other five. Capitalists have

Herald. The Pope has redeemed his
promise to inaugurate the worldwide social
reform movements which he made at the
audience extraordinary given to the Hercld
week before last, in which he said he would
at once graple with social disorder and
African slavery. Leo XIII has begun this
tremendous task by writing powerful ap-
peal to the German bishops, urging them to
at once begin crusade in defense of So
ciety and civilization against the revolu-
tionary spirit of Socialism. This Import
ant document is addressed to Archbishop
krementz, of Cologne, and was made pub
lie by the Vatican last night in the face of
the threatened universal labor demonstra-
ton. 1t will be followed by similar ponti-
fetal rescripts to other nations The Pope
declares he does not ignore the vast dan
gers and difficulties with which the social
question has surrounded them; that he has
deeply reflected on the causes and the true
remedies. He declares and promises to
give all the aid in his power to the arch
bishop to solve the great question of the

WASHINGTON, May 1.-The select CON-
mittee on meat products reported four
measures, the first concurrent resolution
asking the President to inaugurate diplo-
matte correspondence with the authorities
of Great Britain to bring about repeal
or modification of the existing quarantine
regulations of the United Kingdom, the
next one providing for national inspec-
ton law requiring all live cattle to be in

intended for expectation or the meat of
which is intended for expectation shall be

clusively that in the port of New York the
practice obtained among steamship com
panies Of leasing or contracting sometimes
single vessel, sometimes all the vessels of
the line, for a number of months in ad-
vance, to one person. Another bill re
ported was intended to prevent the dis

proved cattle cars carrying live cattle from
the west to the east.

Cullom recognized the Importance of the
measures and declared himself anxious to
secure its early consideration. He asked
Vest whether the report was very long, or
whether it could be printed soon. Vest
replied that the report covered about one
hundred pages of type written matter, and
he supposed it could be printed in a few
days.

ticult questions OF fact for trial to a Jury.
After long discussion Gray's amendment
was laid on the table by party VOTE The
bill went over until tomorrow, with an
agreement that the Senate should proceed
to vote on the bill and the pending amend
ments at 4 O'Clock tomorrow. Without
debate, and after executive session, the
Senate adjourned.
