CONGRESS- AND THE LIQUOR QUESTION.
A Measure To Be Introduced To En-
able Prohibition States
To Enforce Their Laws Against the
Sale of intoxicants.
Preparations for the Funeral of the
Late Senator Beck.


Especial to the Press.1
WASHINGTON, May 1T is probable that
measure will be discussed in the House
very soon for remedying the trouble made
by the Supreme Courts liquor decision. 1t
is perfectly within the power of Congress to
pass a law prohibiting the transportation of
liquors into prohibition states. Ten days
ago, the House committee ON temperance
reported bill which meets the situation left
by the Supreme Court decision and that bill
is already on the House calendar 1t is very
probable that action may be proposed in an
other form, perhaps in the shape of an
amendment to the interstate commerce act.
The Maine members are quite earnest in
favor of some action by Congress. OF course,
it is impossible to predict what the House
will do when it comes to vote. The major
ity Of the Republicans would undoubtedly
favor such measure and the majority of
Democrats would probably oppose it,
Whether the minority of the Democrats in
favor would Offset the minority of Republi-
cans opposed is where the uncertainty comes
in. A national law against transportation
would probably make prohibition much
more effective in prohibition states, and
wouldIprobably be an entering wedge for
further action by Congress, so it is mo-
mentous action which is before Congress
whatever may be its vote.
Father Murphy of Portland, Judge Wis
well of Ellsworth and Labor Commissioner
Matthews are here.
Congressman Boutelle is to be the
Memorial Dav orator at the avarcisas in tba
National Cemetery at Arlington.

GOING INTO POLITICS,
Reported Combination Of the Farm
ers and the Knights.

CINCINNATI, o., May Sit is pretty def
nitely settled that there will be Joint union
of the Knights of Labor and the Farmers
Alliance all over this country, for the pur-
pose of making an aggressive political cam
paign next fall. Steps in this direction are
being rapidly taken. The southern Indiana
and Ohio forces are already maneuvring.
and joint meeting will be the result. There
were three committeeman n this city yester-
day, in consultation with Master Workman
Harris and other prominent leaders of Dis
trict Assembly No. 4S.
1t was learned that two of the members
were from Lawrenceburg, Ind, while
third was from the central part of this state.
They were here on important business in re-
latlon to the cooperation of the Indiana and
Ohio labor assemblies. and the granger
lodges and Farmers Alliance of the two
states. The main object of this joint meet
ing, as admitted by a prominent member of
the local assembly, is to secure greater
strength in carrying on an aggressive cam
paign in the two states this fall. The Indi
ana Knights will become a nucleus, around
which all the other organizations will collect
and when the next campaign is formally
opened an effort will be made by the COM
bined labor forces to sway political move
ments. The local members are very reticent
about the matter, though admitting that
there have been several conferences like that
of Yesterday, and also admitting that others
will follow. There have been no definite
plans arranged as yet, they being left to the
future,

Mr.. Blackburn's Announcement OF
His Death-The Senate's Action.
WASHINGTON, May 5.-There was an un-
usually large attendance of Senators in this
morning. Mr.. Beck's desk and chair were
covered with black Grape. AS soon as the
journal of Saturday was read, Mr.. Black
burn rose and in voice tremulous with sup
pressed emotion. said:
'Mr. President-My colleague is dead. 1t
is not my purpose at this time to speak either
OF him or of the great services which he
rendered to his country. In the freshness of
the sorrow, the love which bore him would
be blind with its tears. The drapery of his
desk furnishes fitting type of the sorrow
which pIevades every heart in this chamber.
A great commonwealth with bowed head to-
day puts on the weeds of mourning. At an
appropriate time and in the early future, l
will ask the Senate to afford to his friends
opportunity to pay their tribute to his
memory. will now ask the Senate to con-
slider the resolution which 1 send to the
clerks desk:
Resolved, That the Senate has heard with great
sorrow OF the death of Hon. James B. Beck, late
senator from the state OF Kentucky.
Resolved-That a committee of seven Senators
be appointed by the president pro TEN to take Or
which will take place tomorrow, Tuesday in the
senate chamber at 1 p. M, and that the Senate
Will attend the same.
Resolved That, as further mark of respect
entertained by the Senate for his memory that his
remains be removed from Washington to Ken
lucky IN charge OF the sergeant-at-arms, attended
by committee which shall have full power to
carry this resolution into effect.
ResolYed-That the secretary communicate these
proceedings to the:House Of Representatives and
invite the House to attend the funeral tomorrow
and to appoint a like committee
Resolved, That invitations be extended to the
President of the United States and members of
the cabinet the chief justice and diplomatic
corps to attend the funeral in the Senate chamber.
Resolved, That, as a further mark of respect,
the Senate do now adjourn.
The resolutions were declared adopted
unanimously and the Senate adjourned until
noon tomorrow. The following Senators
were appointed as committee to superin-
tend the funeral: Messrs. Blackburn, Har-
ris, Vance, Kenna, Dawes, Evarts and

A Plea for Protection on the South
ern Atlantic Coast.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, May 5.-The gener-
al opinion OF business men is that Florida,
having the longest stretch of sea coast of any
state in the Union, would be wholly at the
mercy of hostile fleet in the event of for
eign war. From Fernandina, in the north
east corner of the State, down the entire east
coast, there is not an armed fort; in fact the
only fortifcation at all is old Fort Marion at
st. Augustine, built by the Spaniards nearly
800 years ago. Fort Taylor, at Key West
would offer no resistance From the south
ern extremity of the state up to Pensacola,
on the extreme northwest coast, there is not
a fortifcation of any kind Pensacola would
be powerless against the improved naval
guns now employed in warfare.
A leading business man said yesterday:
"The whole state is practically at the mercy
of an enemy. A ship of war could enter the
st. Johns river and easily reach a point
where the city OF Jacksonville could be
crushed like an egg shell. " ith single ex

would be at his mercy. The government

FIRE DEPARTMENT MATTERS.
Numerous petitions were received and
referred from various citizens praying that
the old system of fire boxes be replaced by
new non-interference boxes.
The committee reported 'leave to with
draw" in the petitions of citizens for the
location Of new engine west of Gilman
street. They thought it should be on
higher eminence.
Amendments to the ordinance in relation
to fire limit were passed, strengthening
the restrictions in regard to buildings con-
structed within the fire limit being covered
with iDflamable material.
SALARIES.
The salary bill was passed. 1t exceeds
somewhat the appropriation of last year, as

Believed to Have Been Killed BY the
Criminals They Sought.
Peculiar Sequel to Brutal Crime In
an ohio City.
Stories OF Cruelty to the Boys In a
Rhede Island Homo.

FINDLAY, Ohio, May 5.-Henry Strickler
a local detective. died here yesterday morn,.
ing under circumstances which his friends
say should be investigated. Strickler was
the detective who worked up the evidence
upon which eight men were indicted for a
robbery, which In its details was the most
sensational in the history Of Northwestern
Ohio. On the night of February z, 1850, while
Wesley Oman, his family, and, his
father and brother, were sitting about the FIRE
in their farmhouse, eight miles south of this
city, the door Of the room was suddenly bro
ken In and eight masked men rushed upon
the family and soon had them securely bound
and gagged. They then demanded the hiding
place of $4,000 which the Omans had re-
ceived few days before from the sale Of
some oil lands. The money had been brought
20 this city and deposited In the Farmers
National Bank. When Mr.. Oman assured
them that the money they were after was not
In the house, they seized his little fouI-year-
old boy and tortured him by putting hot irons
to his feet, In the hope that the suierIngs Of
bis son would induce Oman to give up his
money. As this was physical impossibility,
the robbers at last desisted from the torture
of the child, but only after his feet were COW
cred with blsteTs. After ransacking the
house and obtaining about $3.50 In money be-
longing to Oman. the ruffians departed, leav-
Ing the whole family bound and gagged. The
Omans were so terrified that they remained
In the position the robbers left them until
daylight the next morning, when they sue
ceeded IN IT, ting themselves and giving the
alarm. Int 1est in the case was renewed by
the sudden and mysterious death Of Detect
i've John r. Lowe. of Toledo, at the Hum
phrey House Ia this city. His friends assert
that he died 1 poison administered by some
one interested in covering up the mystery of
the Oman robbery, as he was engaged on the
case at the time OF his death. On the death
Of Lowe, the Oman family placed the matter
In the hands Of Henry Strickley, a local de-
tective, who secured sufficient evidence to
cause the indictment at the January term Of
the grand jury Of Henry Kibler, w. Jerome
Kibler, Charles Morgan, w. Levi Fox, Albert
Decker, and John Long A day or two ago
Strickler was taken i'll with much the same
symptoms as those which attended the death
Of Detective Lowe, and breathed his last In
in great agony yesterday morning. His death
caused profound sensation, and will be
fully investigated.
