oUAYs ELECTION BILL.

The Pennsylvania Senator Has Subs i

In the Senate on the 18th Senator Quay
introduced substitute for the election
bill. The principal point of difference be-
tween the bill introduced by Senator Quay
and the Hoar bill is in the last section,
which is as follows: @When it shall appear
to the satisfaction of the President of the
United States that in any locality the pro-
vision of this law cannot otherwise be exc
cuted, it shall be his duty, and he is hereby
empowered, to suspend the writ of habeas
corpus and to employ the armed forces OF the
United States, naval and military, for it's
enforcement, and for the protection Of
the officers whose duties are herein prOyid-
ed for. In the House Mr.. Dockery, rising
to question of privilege. offered resolu-
tion reciting the fact of the reference of his
1silver pOoIn resolution to the Committee on
Rules, and the fact that that committee had
refused to report the same, and directing
the Committee on Rules to report the resO-
luton to the House for consideration. The
resolution had been referred the first day of
the session. The session was now half gone
and nothing had been done in regard to it.
The House ought not to adjourn until it had
exculpated the innocent and placed the
damnatiOn where it rightfully belonged.
Mr.. Adams of Illinois argued that the reso-
luton did not involve question of privi-
lege. BY vote of 148 to so the House de-
cided that the question raised by Mr.. Dock
cry was not one of privilege.

country town concerts for several years,
gradually widening the circle of her tours,
and at sixteen gave it up for a while
and settled down as a school teacher in
Peoria. After a time she resumed her
musical performances and at Toledo,
Ohio, in 1870, she attracted the atten-
ton of Clara Louise Kellogg, who was
struck with her talent and took an inter-
est in her. Miss Kellogg sent her to
New York, where she studied under
Errani, and after a time was engaged as
soprano at the Church of the Divine Pa
ternity, of which Rev. DR.. E. FL. Chaplin
was pastor. There she attracted the at
tention of many prominent people, among
whom were Horace Greeley, c. d. Hunt
ington, George 6. Lake and others.
Mrs. Lake took her to her house, and an
organized effort was made to give her O.
thorough training. She was sent to
Italy in 1872, where she studied for some
months under Giovanni at Milan, and
then by the advice Of Christine Nilsson,
whose attention she had attracted, she
went to Paris There she took lessons
in vocalization from Wartel and at the
same time took lessons in French, Ital-
ian, dancing, fencing and acting at the

She then went to England and made her
first appearance at the Royal italian
Opera, Convent Garden, and was re-

went to the Crystal Palace, where her
singing brought her to the favorable no.
tice of Col. MaplesOn, who engaged her
for three years She sang in all the
principal towns in England, Ireland, and
Scotland, and became great favorite.
She had already achieved a reputation
abroad before her own country had an
opportunity of hearing her after her
voice and taste had been thoroughly
trained.
She returned to the United States in
1880, and made her first appearance in
New York, turning over the proceeds to
a charity connected with the church
through which she had been enabled to
go to Italy. From that time on she be-
came a general favorite all over the
United States. She married Eugene
Wetherell, her business manager, and
organized company of her own, which
soon became very successful. Miss Abb

LAMAR is GROWING FEEBLE.
The Justice May Be Forced Soon to Leave
the Supreme Bench.

Justice Lamars growing feebleness is re-
marked by all frequenters Of the Supreme
Court. At the Presidents New Years re-
ception he appeared with the other JUS
tices, but most of the time he appeared to
be in one of his old-time reveries, forgetful
of all his surroundings 1t is said that he
finds the routine work of the court irksome
and often only gives his attention to the
arguments going on by the greatest exercise
of will power. Since President Cleve-
land put him on the bench to crafty a
personal friendship Justice Lamar has
never lightened the ]abors of the court
much. though he has faithfully sought to
perform the work assigned to him by the
Chief Justice in writing opinions. In the
not improbable event of Justice Lamar's
retirement within the next year or so he
would not be able to enjoy the pay of a
Supreme Court Justice because he would
not have had ten years continuous service
on the bench. Nor would he have reached
the age of 20. But he has comforta bic

Round for the wild west.

Two wild-eyed boys named Davis aud
Abelson sailed the other day from London
on the GalIia, bound for the avid West"
They carry a complete arsenal of bowie
knives and other implements Of warfare.
Their parents are weakly people, who.
after useless entreaty, ave concluded to
let the boys go on their adventurous tour.
They have no idea where they are going,
but imagine they will strike Indians and
cowboys on Broadway, and New York had
better look out for wild whoop when the
Gallia arrives. 1t is needless to say that
as soon as they arrive at Pine Ridge
Agency, where probably they will go, they
will end the Indian war at one fell swoop
and give Gen. Miles enough points to last
for a. dozen campaigns.

Chance of Occupying It.

Senator Stanford Thinks He Has Good
Chance of Occupying 1t.
Senator Stanford wants the White House
made larger. He has notion that he may
yet be it's tenant with a four years lease,
and accordingly he has introduced bill
providing for it's extension. Senator STAN
ford has the Presidential fever worse than
any other man in public life. He
really believes that the Republicans
will be forced to nominate him in
1892 to secure the support of the
Farmers Alliance, and if they don't do it
he expects to be the Alliance candidate on
a third party ticket. His candidacy is
based on his farm loan BILL which proposes
that the Government shall loan money to
the farmers on their land at 2 per cent. in
terest. As most of the farmers pay
from to II per cent. the scheme
on it's face is an alluring one. STAN
ford also expects to gain popularity by
not pretending to be wiser than others.
The other day in the Senate he told his
colleagues that he was for whatever the
people wanted. He was for lOaning them
money by the Government because they
wanted it, aud if they wanted anything
else he said that he would Le for that also.

THE INDIANS KILLED HIM.
Lieutenant Casey Shot Through the Head
by the Reds.

Lieutenant Casey Shot Through the Head
by the Reds.
A dispatch from Pine Ridge, S. D.. says:
Gen. Miles has just received official infor-
nation of the killing, near the hostile camp
of Lieut.. Casey, of the Twenty-secO In
fantry, who had ventured too near the saw
ages. He was shot through the head. Gen.
Brooke, who sent this startling inform atiOn,
also reports heavy firing in the direction of
the hostile camp. Lieut.. Casey was one of
the brightest young officers in the army. The
hostiles, according to the reports of scouts
have nearly completed their rifle pits
on the bluffs, thirteen miles north of the
agency. Every old Indian fighter here says
that if Gen. Miles were not hampered at
Washington he could end the trouble in two
weeks. While it is an actual impossibility
to surround the Indians in way that will
effectually prevent some of them from get
ting through the Gordon of troops, yet at
the same time, so army officers here say,
the reds could be SO crushed by a
central movement of the troops now
around them that the mischief done
by the escaping few would be reduced to
a minimum. This was beef day at the
agency, and at little after n5on four
bucks, six squaws and eight children came
in from the camp of the hostiles. The
bucks came in looking penitent and so de-
clared themselves, but noticeable feature
of their @get upn was that they had no
weapons These they had left behind for
the use of their hostile brethren, and there
is little doubt but that after the returned
bucks get their fill of beef they will be off
to the bluffs again.

INDIANS BEGIN SHOOTING.
Soldiers and Redskins Firing at Each

Soldiers and Redskins Firing at Each
Other Near Pine Ridge.
dispatch from Pine Ridge Agency, S..
D., says:
Firing has begun to the north Of the
agency. The Indians that have broken
away from the main band are trying their
best to spread terror among the friendltes
here. At Capt. Dougherty's quarters, just
north of the agency, within 1000 yards of
headquarters, picKets have been eXchang-
ing shots since early dawn. The reds are
burning buildings near the agency From
the outer line of picl1ets burning cabins,
both to the right and to the left, could
be seen all day, and shots were heard in the
direction of the burning buildings. The
pickets have been doubled in number. 1t
is evident that the frenzied element OF the
young bucks is bent on breaking loose and
doing what harm they can to settlers before
the main band has chance to reach the
agency. About thirty Indians reached
here this morning. The bucks were dis
armed just beyond DOugherty's and Camp
BELLS camp. One fellow concealed his gun
beneath his blanket and got in. He
was disarmed by an Indian scout
before he could fire the shot intended
to rouse the friendlies. OF the thirty
who came in a part were BruleS. They
have been separated from the Ogalla1as, but
it is hard to tell now which branch Of the
Sioux is most vicious. The main body OF
reds has moved one mile They are camped
once more and q present of a wagon-load
of tobacco under a policy of peace will
probably keep them there until it is used
up. In the meantime the young bucks are
going on raids and burning every house that

DUN,s WEEKLY REVIEW.
The Business World Said to Fear the
Effects of Free Coinage.

The Business World Said to Fear the
Effects of Free Coinage.
r. G. Dun & Co.'S weekly review of trade
says:
The year opens with the expected inn
proyement in the money markets and in
collections resulting from annual disburse-
mentS which have been larger tnan usual.
The hopeful feeling in most branches of
trade continues also, and the railroad out
look is improved. 1t is becoming clearer
every day that the one great obstacle to
prosperity is the fear that debasement of
the dollar may produce violent contraction,
withdrawal of foreign investments, collapse
of credits, and disaster which will be fe1tby
every branch of trade and industry. The
iron and steel manufacture has been so rap
idly extended that Shrinkage of credits has
forced sales in many cases at prices below
cost. On the whole the prospect is consi6-
erably less bright than it has been for many
years in this industry. Reports of trade
from different cities are still much infu-
enced by reviews of last years great busi-
ness but generally indicate large volume
of traffic in progress for the season, with
marked improvement since the monetary
pressure abated. Boston notes larger sales of
boots and shoes and of leather, and stronger
hides, firmer wool, and quiet lumber. At
Philadelphia the leather and shoe trades
are dull, wool is in little demand, some I'M
easiness is seen regarding obligations in
tobacco but better collections in paints. At
Chicago receipts of grain equal last years;
increase is seen in butter and cheese, hides
and wool, but decrease in dressed beef,
cured meats and lard; dry goods and cloth
ing sales exceed last years, with excellent
payments, and the shoe trade increases.

THE BATTLE AT WOUNDED KNEE.
Official Reports Reach Wasnington-Th

Official Reports Reach Washing ton-The
Case of Col. Forsyth.
The official report Of the battle at Wound
ed Knee Creek has been received at the
War Department. The report comprises
Col. Forsyths own account of the BATTLE
those of his captains, including maps
showing the scene of the battle and
the location of the troops and the
Endorsement of General Miles thereon.
These papers will not be made public
till they have been examined by the
President Secretary of War the command
ing General, and other officials, who will
probably be called upon to examine the
maps, and determine whether or not the
troops were 50 stationed as to cause them
to be shot down by each other, as repre-
sented to the department by Gen. Miles
ten days ago. 1t is understood that Gen.
Miles adheres to the affirmative opinion
after an examination of the maps re-
ferred to.
