A Diamond Necklace Lost and Found.

OMAHA, Neb., Dec. 23.-TSpecial telegram
to the HERALD. Coming in from the west
on Burlington train yesterday afternoon
was Mrs. T. H. Holsheimer, of Salt Lake.
Half an hour before arriving in the city
she entered the ladies' toilet room, and
while washing off the dust of travel laid
diamond necklace, valued at 1000, on the
stand and in leaving she forgot to take it
with her. Just -,efore reaching the city
she missed the necklace, but in returning
to the toilet room was unable to find it.
Sho spoke to the trainmen but they could
not find it and so when she reached Omaha
she notified Officer Cook of the Union
Depot squad. A search was at once insti
tuted and the missing necklace was
found lying in plain sight on the trucks be-
meath the toilet room, and retained there
only by its own weight. There is strainer
in the wash bowl so that it would have been
utterly impossible for the necklace to have
passed through it, and the necklace
was found on the trucks two feet from
the point where it would have
fallen had it passed through the
bowl The supposition is that some one
stole it and then fearing detection placed it
oE the trucks 10 make it appear as if the
necklace had fallen there. Mrs. Holsheemer
went on her way last exening rejoicing
that her carelessness had make no more
trouble

WASHINGTON, Dec. 23.-Of the ten Dem
ocratic members of the ways and means

members of the F'iftieth Congress, and OF
these, all except Whiting, of Michigan, are
recorded as voting for the Mills bill on
final passage. Whiting made several
speeches upholding the tariff message Of
President Cleveland, and was probably
paired in favor of the bill Springer,
chairman, always voted for tariff reform
measures, but has by published interviews
recorded himself in favor of passing spec
inc bills TO put few articles on the free
list, and against a general revision OF the
tariff by the House at this session A ma
jority of his Democratic colleagues have
stated in public that they were in favor of
this line OF policy at the present time.

Valparaiso says there were 1900
men engaged in this sailors fight" He
gives this figure to show the police were
powerless to quell the disturbance. AS
the correspondent says. as matter of fact
there was not anywhere near half that
number and the police found ample oppor-
tunity to stop the trouble. For some time
following the attack there was a strong
feeling among the crew of the Baltimore,
and the men would have liked to send an
other party ashore better equipped. OF
thirty six American sailors arrested at the
time OF The fight, not one had weapon
more formidable than sailors jackknife.
The correspondent says President Montt
has given no special indication of any sym
pathy with the general i'll feeling in Chill
against the United States. In a recent in
terview with the Associated Press CORES
pendent, he expressed the hope that all diff
tculties would be settled amicably, as he
didn't believe the people of either nation
desired trouble. He also expressed disap-
proval of the accusations and insinuations
made against the American minister by GER
tain Chilians in the United States, pro-
Tossing to speak for the Gillian govern
ment.

The Controversy With Chilli.

Especial to THE HERALD-Examiner Dispatch. |
New YORK, Dec pa Times Washing
ton special says: Our controversy with
Chilli is approaching conclusion. 1t is
learned the latest communications from
Minister Egan are of a character to dis
courage diplomatic attempts to induce the
Gillian authorities to express any regret at
the assault upon our sailors in Valparaiso
or to make any reparation for the killing of
the men of the Baltimore. Mr.. Blaine was
absent from the cabinet meeting to- day,
and an evening paper says that his failure
to attend was in consequence of business
at the state department" That business
was imperative. The secretary of state
was engaged upon the preparation of the
American case against Chilli. When it is
made up the President will incorporate it
in a message to Congress. That message
relating the American account of the hos
tile course of Chill will present such a
grievance of the United States against
Chill that there can be no doubt about what
the course OF Congress will be.

The Rsrnahy-GraYes Case.

DENVER, Dec. 23.-In the Barnaby-
Graves trial to-day the defense opened the
case by placing Edward Field and Colonel
Ballou THE latter is counsel for defense)
on the stand. Nothing new was brought
out.
Two experts in handwriting swore that
although the inscription OF the whisky bot
tie was similar in writing to letters writ
ten by Graves, they did not think both
writings were by the same person. In the
cross-examination, however both experts
admitted that many letters in the inscrip-
ton on the bottle and those on the Graves
letters were the same.
]. a. Bennett, a veterinary surgeon, was
calico to prove that the arsenic of potassium
was sometimes kept in livery stables. The
point to be made was TO show that as the
bottle Of whisky remained in the buggy in
the stable over night before being deiiv-
cred to Mrs. Barnaby, it seems as if hos
tiers might have drank the contents of the
bottle to escape detection, and refilled it
from the nearest bottle at hand. In this
way they might have stumbled on bottle
of arsenic of potash and emptied it into the
original bottle. Upon cross examination,
he could not name any positive instance in
which he had seen arsenic of potassium in a
livery stable.

Democrats Awaiting the Assembling Of Com
mittaea

WASHINGTON, Dec. 23.-The Democratic
sections of the House this morning were
early filed with members upon whose
faces there was look of anxious expect
ancy and curiosity. Little groups gathered
here and there discussing the probabilities
and possibilities Of committee composition.
Although a great deal of credence was
placed in the predictions heretofore made
by the press there was general feeling of
uncertainty which could be dispel ed only
by the official announcement of the
speaker.
Soon after the House convened the
speaker announced the membership of the
committees as appointed by him. The
reading of the assignments was listened to
attentively, but without any manifestation
of approval or disapproval.
Meredith, of Virginia, announced the
death of his predecessor, Lee, and as
mark of respect, the House adjourned to
meet January g.
