WASHINGTON, March 17.-An even
ing paper has this: 1t is possible the
presidents proclamation reimposing
duties OH certain imports from Vene-
Zuela, Hayti and Columbia will lead
again to test of the validity of the re-
cprocity clause in the Mckinley bill.
The proclamation opens the way for the
direct question to be brought before the
house, and it will be the policy of those
who are interested in diScrediting the
Mckinley act to avail themselves of the
opportunity, Speaking of the procla
nation today, Represe ntative Turner,
of Georgia, the lawyer member Of the
ways and means committee, said: The
restoration of duties on coffee and other
commodities from Venezuela, Hayti
and Columbia will greatly dis
turb our trade with those coun-
tries and will intlct great hardship OH
question of the conStituti0nality of the
law under which the proclamation is
issued may be tested in the courts.
The question would be very different
from that recently decided by the SUI
preme court. The claim set up in this
recent case was that the whole bill was
rendered invalid by the presence of this
clause in the bill, but the validity of
the clause itself was not tested. Now,
any importer importing coffee from
Venezuela, and being required to pay
duty on the import may contest
the validity of this levy of
duty imposed merely by an
executive proclamation and of appli-
cable to similar imports from this coun-
try. He may take the matter into the
courts and carry it up to the supreme
court and get decision upon the direct
question OF the right of congress to del
egate a law making power 10 the presi-
dent"
Acting Secretary Nettleton today in
structed collectors OF customs to the
effect that under the presidents procla-
nation of the 18th inst, SusDending the
free list in the case of certain products
of Venezuela, Colombia and Hayti, du-
ties will attach to all such articles
shipped from those countries OH and
after the 10Th inst, to ports III the
United States. This ruling is in pursu-
ance of an opinion Of the attorney gem
eral.
NEW YORK, March 17.-The treasury
department has notified the custom au-
thOritieS to suspend all action in regard
to the placing of duties on the products
Of Hayti. Venezuela and the United
States of Columbia under the recent
proclamation of the president under

The Economic Gas ordinance referred
to was originally passed by vote of 40

June IL last it was passed over his veto
by vote of 81 to 10. The Northern
Pacific ordinance. giving the railroad
company valuable franchise, re-
ceived I'll affirmative and 3 negative
votes. An investigation of the
manner in which it was Sc
sured followed, resulting IN nothing
but the repeal of the ordinance. 1t was
Immediately passed again by another
vote of 81 to 81. The compressed air
ordinance was passed by vote Of 46 to

mayor had signed the ordinance, an
other ordinance was presented to the
original ordinance. This repeating Ordi
nance failed Of passage by vote of 40
to %.
The Evidence Complete.
Gen. Lieb, the grand jury's foreman,
said tonight, speaking on the subject:
1--WE have the rescals where the hair is
short, but | am not at liberty to tell
what L know. We will begin the in
vestigation tomorrow look out.
This much | will say, we have COM
plete chain of evidence forged around
the bOodlerS, and if they do not tell the
truth they will not leave the criminal
court building. BY that l mean we
know the whole truth, and all who do
not tell it will be Immediately arrested
for perjury as we'll as boodling." The
general added that some of the men
who would undoubtedly be indicted
have heretofore been supposed to be
above such things as boodling.
Various members of the city council,
when questioned tonight regarding the
coming grand jury investigation, stated
they had been expecting it. and all said
they were willing to go before the jury
and tell all they know. Several said
they had. during the tendency of Ger
tain ordinance, been approached with
offers of money or it's equivalent if they
would vote faVorably for such ordi-
nances. But all Indignantly denied
that they had accepted any such offers.
States Attorney LOngenecker says he
expects to show that all three OF the Or
dinanceS-the Compressed Air, the
Northern Pacific and the Economic Gas
were passed by virtue of the purchase
of votes for hard cash. Il don't mind
saying" said he, "that there will
be the biggest upheayal ever
seen in this city. When all
the facts are finally made public, the
result will be the most sensational of
any in the city's history He added
that he would be aided by three of the
city'S most prominent attorneys, they
being in the employ of three local
newspapers, who had had men assist
inc TO make out the case against the
"boOdlerS."

A VIENNA EXECUTION.
Murderer Schneider StrangIed By
a Silken Cord.


Silken Cord.
VIENNA, March 17.-Though thet
of the Schnelders-Franz and RoSalle-
for the murder of servant girls attracted
to the court room such crowds as have
seldom been equalled in number at any
trial ever held here, the execution of the
man this morning seemed to excite but
little interest. The gallows upon which
executions take place in other countries
was conspicuous by it's abSenSe. In its
stead, a broad, white stake was firmly
imbedded in the ground In an angle or
the court. The stake was Surmounted
by large spike.
When the condemned man had
reached point in front of the stake,
the eXecutioner, who wore high silk
hat, fine clothing and kid gloves,
stepped up to him and dextronslY pin
Toned his hands. The eXecutloner's as
sistantS, who were two horse slaughter
ers, then seized Schneider ami placed
him directly in front of the stake. The
condemned man was lifted from the
ground, and fearful scene followed.
Schneider immediately kicked his legs
i'll every direction, and tried frantically
to escape from the grasp of the brawny
man who held him. The scene did not
last long. however, for Seyfried rushed
up set of steps that stood behind the
stake, and threw the free end OF a silken
loop which was attached to the stake
around Schneder'S throat, lassoing him
as he was held aloft by the assist
ants. AS the moose passed around
Schneider'S neck. the two horse slaugb-
tererS dropped him. Seyfried pressed
his left hand heavily over the law and
mouth of the victim, while his right
hand covered the forehead and eyes.
At the same time the assistants graSped
the hanging man by his arms and legs
and pulled downward with all their
strength. Held in this position, Schnei-
der was unable to move, and he was
Strangled to death. The doctors in at
tendance say that he was dead in four
minutes.

LIVERPOOL HORROR.
The Murdered Woman and Chill
dren Identified.

LONDON, March l7.-There is intense
excitement at Rainllill over the murders
discovered to have been committed in
Dinham villa. The body of the woman
found under the fire place was today
identified as that of Mrs. Deeming, who
formerly resided at Brkenhead with her
family. Her relatives are positive III
their identification. 1t is learned that
the name of Williams is an assumed
one, and the murderers proper nameiis
Deeming, the name under which he
married the woman whose mutilated
body was found under the hearthstone
at Dinham villa. p.
Two sisters of Marie Deeming today
visited the place where the bodies are
lying and identified the remains of the
children, whose names were respect
lively given as Bertha, Marie, Lilly and
Sydney. 1t was ascertaiHed that the
murderer is a member OF a good family.
He has always been q restless man and
has led rowing, unsettled life. He
married the woman. Marie James, in
1880, and she accompanied him
to Australia. She remained
i'll that country for a number of years
and returned to England in July last,
bringing with her four children. The
woman and her children remained with
her sister untif they mysterlously diSap-
peared. The excavations in the villa
were continued throughout the day, but
in spite of the closest search no further
discovery of bodies was made.

Conspiracy.
Special to the Globe.
RED WING, March IA case de.
veloped here today in connection with
the recent grand jury sitting, which is
exciting some interest. Yesterday af-
ternoon Sheriff Anderson brought down
from Minneapolis one James J. Smith
to answer to three indictments found
against him, charging him with obtain
ing money under false pretenses. He
was arraigned in court this morning,
and, on being required to plead, entered
4 plea of not guilty. He will be tried
next week. The story told in support
of the indictments is curious one. At
GOodhue, a station on the Red Wing
road fifteen miles from here, there has
been a war going on for over
yearto suppress blind pig. Promi-
nent among those engaged in this war
fare have been Rev. Jonathan Finney,
retired Presbyterian minister, and
Francis Davis, prominent stock
breeder. Last summer Smith was
brought down from Minneapolis TO work
up evidence against the pig. After he
had been there time Davis and Fin
ney claim Smith came to them and said
he had discovered conspiracy OH the
part of the saloon men to burn their
property and to kill Finney. If they
would pay him $3.50 he would obtain
evidence which would convict the con-
spirators. This they claim they did,
but he never produced the evidence,
and now they claim there was no con-

GRAND FORKS, Y. d., March l9.-The
state Republican committee at its meet
ing here today Issued call for a con-
venton to elect delegates to the Mime
apolis convention. The state conven-
ton will be held at Grand Forks, May 4.
After a sharp fight the representation
in the convention, by vote of 10 to Is,
was based upon the vote for Congress-
man Johnson in the last election. On this
basis Cass county loses five delegates.
This was occasiOned by cut in John
sons vote. led by j. j. Jordan. editor Of
the Fargo Republican, who supported
Benton, the Democratic candidate. This
rebuke administered to Cass county cuts
an important figure in view Of the fact
that Jordan was recently appointed
postmaster at Fargo at the urgent de-
mand of Hansbrough and against john
sons earnest protest. Chairman Spald-
ing led the minority fight for CasS
county and while disclaiming approval
of Jordan's appointment protested that
Cass county should not be punished
therefor. Spalding, with nine others,
voted against baSing the representation
on JohnsOn's vote. The convention for
nominating state officers will be held at
Fargo.

paper published story today under a

ROUGH ON CHINESE,
Restrictive Legislation Proposed
in the House.

in the House.
WASHINGToN, ID. c., March 17.-An
effort will be made tomorrow TO secure
the passage III the house of another
anti-Chinese bill, more restrictive i'm its
provisions than any of the measures
now on the statute book. This is the
Geary bill, reported by the house com
mittee on foreign affairs. This meas
ure seeks to keep out practically all
Chinese merchants and professional
men, as well as laborers. Diplomatic
representatives and their servants, and
few others who may be permitted
under license to travel in this country
and to exhibit Chinese productions, are
the only persons who, under the terms
OF the bill, are to be permitted to enter
the United States. The bill proposes
to exclude hereafter those Cinnamon
now resident in the United States who
may leave and then ask to return.
There is a minority of the committee
opposed to the passage of the measure
as contravention of existing treaty
stipulations, but it is believed vote
can soon be secured.
