Chandler, rising to question of person.

that the Senator from Florida (Cali) in de-

his duty before replying to the assault
made upon HIM to bring the Senator'S cor

might be deemed just and suitable for such
traDgression.
He offered q preamble and resolution
stating that the Senator from Florida hai
charged him in debate with personal re-
sponsibility for the outragiDg Of women,
murt ering of children, and the destruction
of the happiness of the households in the
South, by men who were emissaries behind
him. The Senator had, in addition. insert

sented and referred 70 the commitaee on
privileges and elections.
At 2 the Blair educational bill came up
a. unfinished business. Faulkner address,
ed the Senate in opposition to it. In his
Judgment. the bill Was freighted with the
sravest evils to the whole country, more
Feapecially to those States which Git uas a.
sumed) would be more benefited than
others BY its enactment Its pass ,ge would
commit Congress to unrestrained construct
ion of cons itu.ional power. and would estab-
lish novel. almost unprecedented free
Interpretation Of the General welfare"
clause.
Three questions, he said, had presented
themselves which would have to be
answered in the affirmative BY those who
supported the bill. These were: Il the
bill sanctioned BY the provisions Of the
federal constitution Are its provisions,
which affect the distribution Of the fund
between the States and between the two
races il the States, just and beneficial?
Is it part of wisdom and practical states
maaship for 3 national government to en-
bark on this boundless sea unrestrained
and unlimited in legislation? He took the
negative of these three proportions, and
argued in support of his view of the ques
ton, quoting largely from debates In the
federal convention and from decisions of
judges and writings Of recognized pubii-
cists and statesmen. From these he argues
that the establishment of common school
system should be necessarily committed to
the care and control of the States. The
principles laid down by Chief Justice Mar
shall, in the case of Gibbons against Ogden,
restraining any attempt at the encfoach-
ment reserved to the respective States. or
TO the people. has never been Questioned
or qualified by subsequent decisions OF the
supreme court and he preferred to build
his record IN that foundation, rather than
on the shifting opinions Of a tive Politic-
ians or the irresponsible and unreliable
patchwork of \ precedent.
Coming down 10 the practical provisions
of the bill Faulkner pointed out the in ,on-
sistency of first distributing the fund to
States on the basis Of illiteracy and then
distributing the fund within the States be-
tween the two races on the basis Of school
population of each, so while on the basis
of illiteracy the colOred schools at the
South ought to receive $50 .0O0, 900 and the
white schools sl3 ,OO0. 900, those figures

white schools receiving sl8.0O0, 900 more

COS Police Captain.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, Jan. 2S.-One of the wit
nesses for the defense i'll the Cronin case.
Robert Gibbons, was shot tonight by Po-
lice Captain Schuettler, who has been
prominent in the prosecution. The shoot
ing was the result of an alteration in a
saloon opposite the city hall, where the
two men met by accident at the bar Glib
bons is dangerously wounded, a bullet
having entered his left breast two inches
nbove the heart. Each of the men were
accompanied by several friends Those
with Gibbons were Thomas Lynch. Il
wealthy distiller, Alderman Mccormick
aud EX-Policemen Redmond Mcdonald
the latter of whom testified On the stand
10 the afihi for the suspect Daniel Cough
lin. Accounts of the affair are conflicting
According TO Schuettler's friends the row
started in some uncomplimentary remark
10y Alderman Mccormick to the police
captain ending in the alderman throwing
a lighted cigar in SchuetUler'S face. The
captain was about to resent this act physi-
cally when he received a terrific
thump on the jaw from Gibbons
who is Of herculean proportions. Gibbons
was proceeding to repeat the blow when
Schuettler suddenly pulled revolver and
fired. Alderman Mccormick denies the
cigar episode and says he had gone ont Of
the saloon for a moment when he heard
loud talk with scutfiing and returning saw
Gibbons welteripg in blood. Testimony
N the CronIn trial WAS of minor char
acter. Captain Schuettler was not in uni
form at time of shooting.

ANARCHISTS FRIGHTENED.
Proof Brought Out Naming Police Spy
as One of Their Number.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, Jan. 2S-The socialistic
and anarchal societies have been wrought
up to high pitch of excitement oyer the
possession of what the members believe to
be absolute proof of the existence of a
huge police conspiracy against them
Sometime ago Detective Charles Nordrum
was arrested and fined for assaulting a
man at meeting of the Arbeiter bund
The assault was said to have been totally
unwarranted and several committees
representing the Personal Rights league,
the Central Labor union, Pioneer Aid and
Support association, Socialistic Publishing
society, Arbeiter bund and other organiza-
tions called on the mayor TO demand the
dismissal of Nordrum. The detective
learned of the visit of these committees to
the mayor, and about four weeks ago, it is
said, called on Henry Linnemeyer for GER
tain information concerning the operations
of the police among the anarchists and to
show that certain supposed champion of
the anarchist cause was in reality in the
pay of the police for the purpose of creating
by wild utteranceS popular prejudice
against the anarchists. Linnemeyer, with
out promising anything. asked NOrdrum
10 p. oduce proofs. Nordrum complied by
lfIlSiDB 10 AJIOTuey NIdlG OllCe, WHERE
Lnnemeyer met him, fourteen reports
from a spy of the police to the de-
partment. These reports consisted of
detailed accounts of anarchistic move
ments, the thoughts, conversation and de-
alterations of those concerned IN them,
suggesting whom to watch and in fact,
laying bare the secrets of the entire work
ings of the anarchists.
The reports ran back over two years
The spy was Henry Danmeyer. a man who,
since 1885, has been one of the most active
and aggressive anarchists in the CITY, In
talk there have been but few fellow men,
bers more hot headed. He has advocated
the murder of Judge Garry and Grinneil
and Inspector Bonfield. 1t is now alleged
that by these threats he induced others TO
echo his sentiments, when he would then
report them 10 the police and cause I'll ex-
cept himself to be put under sharp espion-
age. Among such was Mr.. Linnemeyer,
ST.. himself. Danmeyer received $50 a
month paid by Nordrum, to whom b. gave
receipts. These receipts, as well as the re-
ports. are said to be now in the hands of
socialistic leaders.
The effect of this publicity of the matter
has been to create almost panic in the
police department. All the prominent
officers of the police department and the
mayor decline to discuss the sensational
developments of the day. Superintendent
Marsh simply states that Nordrum will be
promptly dismissed on a verifcation of the
charges against him.
