IN THE HOUSE.
Resolutions of Respect Offered by
Mr. McKinley

Resolutions of Respect offered by
Mr.. Mckinley.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 30.-An air of sad
ness pervaded the chamber this morn
ing, and the prayer of the chaplain was
listened to with unusual intentDesS as
he asked Gods blessing upon the wife
and children of the late secretary of the
treasury. Mr.. Mckinley offered the
following resolutions:
Resolved, That the house of representa-
tives has heard with profound sorrow of the
death of Hon. William Window secretary OF
the treasury, who, for ten years, was men,
ber of this body, and for twelve years mem
ber of the senate.

sentatives be appointed by the speaker to
join such committee as may be appointed by
the senate. to attend the funeral of the late
secretary of the treasury on behalf OF con-
greSs, and to take such other actlon as may
be proper in honor of the memory of the de-
ceased, and as the appreciation OF congress
of his public services.
Mr. Dunnell-I second the motion. have
the honor to represent the dlStrlct Wnlcn Ior
ten years was represented SO aDly py the

PIERRE, S. D., Jan. 3O.-An indie
pendent caucus last night developed the
fact that other Independent candidates
for senator feared to follow in Wardal's
footsteps, and would not allow their
their name to go into ballot as caucus
nominee, upon the promise that if they
do not succeed they will step out. as
Wardall did. The result to-day was the
same as formerly. the Democrats being
still united on Tripp, while the forces OF
the Independents are scattered. One
ballot was takeu, standing: Moody, 30;
Tripp, %; Melville, 20; Seward, IA;
Crosse, IL; Harden, 10; Campbell, 9;
King, 5; Mellette, 8; Kyle, 3, with rest
scattering, five new names being on the
list and receiving votes. No legislation
is being accomplished, and there's moth
idg worthy of note in this line to report
each day, all interest being alb
sOrbed in the senatorial fights
an various new schemes invented and
headed off. A resolution was intro
duced just before adjournment to-day
to adjourn the house until next Tues
day. BY the combined votes of Demo
Gratis and Independents it was defeated.
The provisions of the law state that a
ballot for senator must be taken each
day in joint session until senator is
chosen. The fusion members quickly
discovered this was scheme on the
part of the Republicans to inaugurate
contest should the former succeed here
after in naming the man, by bringing
up this question of adjournment for
three days. Judge Tripp's friends claim
there is great surprise in store, and
though the situation now seems most
complicated it will soon be solved. HIS
followers :have perfect unity still,
and are drawing strength while the
others become more disOrganized.

IN THE SENATE.
Expressions of Regret Bear the
Ring of Genuine Feeling.

Expressions or regret Bear the
Ring of Genuine Feeling.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 30.-There was a
feeling of profound sadness in the SEN
ate this morning when the senators al
ready apprised of the death of their old
time colleague gathered to listen to the
eloquent words of the chaplain, AL
though a number of years have passed
since Mr.. Window sat in the senate, the
membership of that body changes so
slowly that there are still many senators
who were his colleagues and upon
whom his death falls as a personal loss.
Expressions of regret at his demise were
far from perfunctionary, and were char
acueriZed by the ring of genuine feeling.
AS senator and chairman of the appro-
priations committee, Mr.. Window had
it in his power to do many kind offices
to other senators. and that these were
never refused to his colleagues is evil
denced by the testimony that is volun-
teered by senators on both sides of the
chamber.
So, too, as secretary Of the treasury,
during two administrations, he neces-
sarily maintained in large measure his
intimacy with his old colleagues, and
his official relations with them were
always characterized by geniallty, deli
cate consideration and uprighteousness
This is the substance Of the expressions
of many senators. Some OF them are

we'll known opponents of principles
that were dear to Secretary Window;
some were his political antagonists. but
there were none who failed to add their
tribute to his personal character and to
speak in terms of highest praise of his
signal ability as business man and fis-
cal officer. The feeling was general
that his death has caused gap in the
cabinet that cannot be easily closed, and
that the president would have difficult
task to replace an adviser whose ability
as financier and deep insight into the
methods and motives of Legislators and
business men made his services so val
liable in these trying times of financial
stress.
In the opening prayer the sudden
death of Secretary Window was thus re-
ferred to by the chaplain, Rev. j. M.
Butler:
ITO whom can we come but to Thee, oh
God. under this dark cloud. We rejoice that
death does not end all. We pray Thee for
the life immortal, through Jesus Christ, our
Lord. Teach us so to live before God, obedl-
emily, humbly, prayerfully and trustingly, SO
to live before men, charitably, kindly and
faithfully, that death may be to us but sleep.
We thank Thee for that life SO true, so pure,
so useful, SO long preserved, SO good, nodded
and fashioned by faith in Christ on Lord.
nlde not my 1aco from us Ill In9 Gay oi
trouble. Look mercifully upon and deal
tenderly with Thy handmaiden and with
that family now in great sorrow. Sustain
and strengthen and comfort them, and cause
faith to triumph in the hour of greatest dark
ness. Teach us so to live, day by day, before
God, in the discharge of every duty, that
when we shah may be ready to die and to
live where they die no mo1e."
The journal of yesterday was then
read, and as soon as the reading was
ended Mr.. Morrill, rose, and, in a voice
tremulOus with emotion, said:
I'm consequence of the recent calamity
which has visited us iu the sudden decease
of former eminent member of this body,
and a distinguished officer of the govern
ment, the secretary of the treasury, l move
that the senate do now adjourn
The motion was agreed to and the
senate adjourned till tomorrow at IL

stricken. accompanied the remains as a
guard of honor.
From early this morning the cor
ridors of the Fifth avenue hotel bore an
animated appearance, men of promi-
inence coming and going constantly
and gathering in groups to silently dis
cuss the sad occurrence of last night.
Many desired to view the body, but few
were admitted to the parlor OH the
Twenty-third street side of the build
ing where it lay since about midnight.
The gentlemen who were near the sec
retary when he fell, generally concede
that life left the body as soon as it top
pied off the chair. Secretary Tracy's
first action was to feel for his col
leagues pulse, but could find none, and
he whispered sadly in the ear of eX-
Judge Arnoux that Mr.. Window was
dead. Examination of the body made
early this morning by Coroner Schultz
and Deputy Coroner William I. Jenk-
ins confirmed the belief that death was
instantaneous. The examination was
superficial one only, but this together
by Private Secretary Hendley, con-
lar disease of the heart.
When the inquest was finished, the
body was placed in casket of somber
black, relieved by no ornamentation.
The interior was lined with deep-col-
ored copper, and all the body was hid
den from view with the exception OF
the face, which showed plainly beneath
the glass cover. The features exhibited
no signs Of pain, and the secretary, as
he lay in this room, where single ray
Of the sun sent its glimmer through
a crevice in the window, looked as if he
had sunk into a calm and peaceful sleep.
The coroner's jury based its opinion as
to the cause of death upon statement
made by Mr.. Hendley, who for the past
twenty months has acted as private sec
retary for Mr.. Window. MIR. Hendley
said that the secretary had been suffer-
ing for long time with valvular
trouble of the heart. and in the last
three months had grown rapidly worse.
He had arrived at such stage of the
disease that he could not walk above
the ordinary rate of speed without suf-
fering severe pain.
The funeral cortege arrived at the
Liberty street ferry few minutes past
II, and Immediately went on board the
Fanwood and was conveyed to Jersey
City. On the Jersey side the casket was
tenderly lifted out of the hearse and
borne to a special Wagner Car. The
caSket was placed in the rear end and
the committee of four from the board of
trade-Judge ArnouX, d. R. James,
Seth Thomas and Capt. Snow = to-
gether with Secretary Tracey and Mr..
Hendley, took seats in the car.

RED-HOT DEBATE
Aroused by the Adoption of That
State Prison Resolution.

State Prison Resolution.
W. II. Tripp called up the resolution
of the special committee appointed to
investigate the state prison. by which
ex-Warden Randall and his deputy are
retained in charge of the penitentiary
until Feb. l.
A somewhat acrimonious debate fol-
lowed.
Mr.. Penney, of Hennepln, asked for
reasons why such a resolution was pre-
pared. He questioned, if it was passed,
whether it had any binding upon the
board of prison managers.
G. N. Bell, of Ramsey, followed in a
similar stream, adding: ''UnleSs this
house has evidence before it which sat
LiSfieS that the prison managers should
be discharged. and discharged with dis
grace upon them, it seems to me that
the resolution should not pass" He
moved as a substitute to the resolution
managers to retain Mr.. Randall and his
deputy, that they be requested" to re-
tain these gentlemen 50 that they could
be reached by the committee.
Mr.. Kinney, of st. Louis, wanted Mr..
Bell to make his substitute" more eX-
pIicit. The committee could "reach"
Mr.. Randall and his deputy easy
enough; what they wanted was that
they should be retained as warden md
deputy warden of the state prison.
Mr.. Bell-WilI the gentleman answer
me one question: What is the object OF
utterly ignoring the prison board?
Mr.Kinney declared there was not the
slightest intention on the part of the
committee to cast any reflection upon
the prison managers. They merely
wanted Mr.. Randall and his deputy to
retain their positions until this lnveStl-
:tnen no opportunity for new set of
officers-if they so deSired-to thwart in
any way the object of the investigation.
Mr.. Bell-Ynu do not ask them to be
retained. You say, ''Stay there"
Mr.. Kinney suppose the gentle
man would have us ask, with apologetic
mien and perfumed breath, "Will you
kindly allow these men to stay there?'
That is distinction without a differ
ence.
Mr.. Bell-lf they failed to respond
take the apologize mien and perfumed
breath away. But l do say give them
an opportunity.
Keyes on His Mettle.
Mr.. Keyes deprecated the discussion
in the beginning, but if the gentlemen
OF the opposition wished to test the met
tie or quality of the gentlemen advocat-
ing the resolution they were willing to
give them, the privilege. He denied
the resolution was intended to cast any
aspersion upon the prison managers,
and he asked the members of the house,
if they had confidence in the committee,
to stand by 1t.
Mr.. Lonen enlarged upon the consti-
tutionality of the resolution. The legis-
Iature had not the power claimed by
the resolution.
Mr.. Bell corrected his substitute to
the resolution to read that the prison
inanagers be requested to retain Mr..
Randall and his deputy i'll their present
position.
Mr.. Keyes hoped the substitute would
be voted down.
| Mr.. Furlong asked Mr.. Reyes If he
l4thought the adoption of the substitute
IFresolution ! would prevent the committee
getting the required end in view.
Mr.. Keyes-F'rom what | can under
stand that would be true.
Mr.. Bells it trne or not true that
St. Paul daily globe. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn.) 1884-1896, 1891-01-31

this committee is taking evidence ex-
parte-refusing to allow the prison
managers to be present or represented
at the meetings?
Mr.. Keyes-I decline to answer that
question. If this house has not conf
dence in this committee it must dis
charge it.
The substitute to the resolution was
voted down by 70 nays to 26 yeas.
f. E. Searle hoped that the original
resolution would not be adopted. 1t
would create a clash between the ex-
ecutive and the legislative branches of
state government. He would like to
see the fullest investigation into the
prison management, but he questioned
the course proposed by the committee.
The only way the legislature could
reach the prison managers was by abOl-
iShing their offices.
Mr.. Keyes declared that the legisla-
ture had absolute power so far as the
board of prison managers was con-
cerned. The board was created by leg
iSlative enactment; it was not consti-
tutiOnal provision.
The roll was called upon the adoption
of the resolution, and was carried by S4
yeas to 13 nays. Those voting in the
negative were:
Bell. Capser, Christlieb, Hemstead, Hunt
ington, Lockwood, Lomen. Lyman, Penny,
Reeve, Searle, Stone, Turrell.
Durant-Daly Contest.
The minority report of the Durant-
Daily contest was presented to the house.
The report was signed by Messrs. Gala
CHER and Capser, the Democratic MEM
berS of the committee, and urged that
Mr.. Durant be given the seat. Mr.. Du
rant was entitled to the seat, the re-
count giving him majority of three
votes. The main point made by
the minority report sets forth
that in certain precincts of
the city of Saltwater there were several
stickers placed over Daly's name con-
tanning the words: "For Senator-E.
W. Durant." These votes had not been
properly counted, and as it was the evil
dent intention of the voters to vote for
Durant as a representative, their votes
should be counted.
1t was decided to make this contest
special order for 3 o'clock Monday after
noon.
