LIvISa AT OMAHA.

Late this afternoon the police
brought to the station a man who
gave the name Of Charles Munson,
and his occupation rs painter. The
right side Of the mans face was
very badly scratched and his fore
lead was in the same condition.
His LEFT eye is quite black, as IL from
a gouge or blow, and his right eye
is in not much better condition. The
assistant chief OF the detectives put
the man in a sweatbox, with very
unsatisfactory results. He claimed
to have arrived in the city on the
Thursday Of last week, but could
not tell who 1t was that scratched
him or when and where 1t happened.
His story was 30 out Of joint that he
was ordered locked up. The scratch
es on his face look as II they might
have been made within the last
forty-eight hours, and the police
think there are strong indications
that they have the right man.

WASHINGTON May after the
adjournment Of the House this
afternoon, the republican members
assembled in conference to decide
upon the party policy in reference to
|sthe tariff bill.
The river and harbor bill man
ayers made a strenuous effort 10
have the appropriation bill made
the special order for consideration to
a conclusion before the tariff bill is
taken up, and Representative Hen
denson made a statement of the
reasons why this should be done.
The majority OF the members could
not be made To take his view,
for it was decided-90 to 81
that the tariff bill was a
matter Of prime importance and
should be called up on Wednesday.
IL was agreed that general debate
should go on for four days, Wednes-
day, Thursday, Friday and Satur-
day of this week, with night sessions
for speeches. Eight days addition
al will then be allowed for consider
alton Of the bill by paragraphs under
VII - ZIG
previous question on final passage Of
the bill is 10 be considered ordered
by the terms Of the SPECIAL rule TO be
adopted.
The River and Harbor men made
another effort this time asking TO
have adopted special rule provid-
ing for the consideration Of their
bill Immediately after final action
upon the tariff bill, but again they
were defeated.
There was some talk about the re-
manning business before Congress,
and il became evident that the gen.
eral feeling was that n final adjourn
ment could be reached about the
middle Il July.
The members OF the committee on
rivers and harbors feel indignant
over the manner in which their bill
was side-tracked. They realize the
fact that unless early action is taken
upon that measure il may fall 10y
reason of lack Of time for due con-
sideration by the Senate. Yielding
to the inevitable, however, they are
determined TO press It's c0nsidera-
ton as coon as the tariff bill Is out
Of the way, and will antagonize all
other legislation until the river and
harbor bill is disuosed OF.

THE DENVER Tragedy.
Theory OF The Police In The Batter
field Murder Mystery.

DENVER, May There are nc
new developments in the Butterfield
murter mystery: The police are OF
the opinion that the crime was
committed by some man who called
at the house for the purpose Of rent
ing a room. Mrs. Butterfield went
upstairs 70 show him the room, and
he, finding that she was alone,
attempted TO outrage her, and in the
fight which ensued he struck her a
blow on the temple, which caused
her death. The wOman's clothes
were torn 10 shreds and the body
badly scratched. Finding that the
woman was dead, the wretch covered
the body with blankets, washed his
bloody hands in a wash-bowl in the
room, and LEFT by the back door,
which he locked as he went out.
The crime was probably committed
between 4 and S p. m. Saturday, and
the body was not discovered until
Sunday evening. The dead woman
at one time lived In New York
State, and her first husband, n Mr..
Bryant, was killed in the war. She
had a divorced husband named

KANSAS CITY, May "a dis
patch from LeavenwOrth, Kas.,
says: a big railroad scheme, with
millions to back it, is on foot for a
transcontinental short line from
New York to the Pacific. The en-
terprise is IN the hands Of a body Of
English capitalists and American
railroad men. The syndicate has
been secretly at work for a long time.
The Leavenworth TO Denver route
was surveyed two years ago and
known as the Denver Short Line,
and more recently as the Leaven-
worth, Denver and Utah. This sur
vey is eighty miles shorter than any
Of the existing lines. By a railroad
now running from Denver TO Salt
Lake City, a continuation Of this
survey, 200 miles are saved.

NEW YORK. May 5.-Justice Bar
rett today granted a temporary in

holding their annual meeting this
year in Cleveland, o. The organiz-
alton was formed in New York in
1871, and the balance Of power used
tO-be in the East, but now the West
has majority. Several years ago
the grand lodge went TO Philadel-
phia, in spite Of great objections on
the part OF New York members.
Finally an amendment TO the con-
stitution was adopted, providing that
by majority vote the grand lodge
meeting might be held outside Of
this State. This time Cleveland had
a plurality, bat the majority was
against 1T, and Treasurer Mendel
sued for an injunction, contendiDg
that a plurality is not a majority.
Arguments will be heard later.
