AN AI.IrNIGHT SESSION.
FiIibusters Determined to Defeat
the Car.COuDIer Bill.

the Car-COupler Bill.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 21.-In the house
today the hours were mostly employed
in flibustering against the car-coupler
bill. Some time was devoted
to the consideration on the
postoffice appropriation bill. the
debate Oh which was confined
to the especial service provision. But
the car-coupler measure was the one
which met with determined opposition.
Mr.. Richardson Dem.), Tennessee, led
the opposing parties, and by parliament
airy maneuvers prevented action being
taken OH it. At II p. ID. there was no
change in the situation Of the house.
Both sides seem determined, and the
prospects were for an all-night fight.
The usual scenes incident to night
session were enacted. There were sew
eral amusing episodes, but taken as a
whole the session so far had been a
dreary one.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 22.-At 1890 a.
n. the house is still in session, with no
prospect of an adjournment. After
votes were taken upon various filibuSt-
ering motions. al Gas p. III. a call of the
house was ordered, but failed to
produce "a quorum. The sergeant-at-
arms met with no success in bringing
in absentees. At l 3. m. the mono Ony
of the proceedings was broken
by a personal controversy between
Watson. of Georgia; Cummings,
of New York, and Richardson,
of Tennessee, growing out of Watson's
criticism of railroad influence in COR
greSs. Richardson resented what ne re-
garded as a reflection upon himself. and
read copious extracts from Switchmen'S
testimony to demonstrate the faulty
character of the bill.

ANOTHER SUCKER WORKED.
An Owatonna Man Done Up in
Seventy Game.

George Hayden, from Owatonna,
Mimi, arrived III st. Paul yesterday
morning with $50 in his inside pocket.
At O'Clock last night he came to police
n headquarters without his money and
asked the police to assist in recovering
the coin. Hayden was looking in a
pawn shop window on Seventh
Street about : O'Clock when a man
asked him the way to Mississippi street.
Hayden said he was stranger, and the
other man claimed to be one also. The
pair stepped into a saloon to cement
their acquaintance and saw two men
playing seven up. The fellow who was
looking for Mississippi street suggested
they take a hand, and Hayden was
agreeable. Several games were played.
when one of the men picked up his cards
and remarked he would like to play
little poker. All Of the Quartette,
it seemed, had good poker hands.
and Hayden saw at glance
that he had four aces. He pulled the
was willing to bet little on his hand.
Before he could get his money up, one
of the meu grabbed it, kicked over
Hayden's chair, and the trio skipped.
This was the story Hayden told
to the detectives, and shortly
after Detectives Ryan and Nc
Fetridge arrested Joseph Arson
and Ole Nordhagen as being two of the
three seven-up players. The men had
SIS each, and Hayden identified them as
the parties with whom he was playing.
The fellow who wanted to find Missis-
sippi street escaped arrest, bat the Off
GERS say it is only a question Of time
when he will be apprehended.

THE WYOMING VACANCY.

The legislature of Wyoming adjourned
without date and without electing SELL
ator to succeed Senator WARREN. The
question is raised that Gov. OSBORNE
cannot appoint senator. The federal
constitution provides that ''if vacancies
happen by resignation OF otherwise dur
ing the recess Of the legislature of any
state. the executive thereof may make
temporary appointments until the next
meeting of the legislature. which shall
then fill such vacancies"
The only precedent is that of Della
ware in 1898. Senator READ resigned
in December. The legislature which
met in January adjourned without elect
ing his successor. The governor ap-
pointed senator after the adjournment.
The senate held that the legislature had
held session between the happening OF
the vacancy and had failed to elect, and
the appointee was. therefore, not en-
titled to seat.
The cases are not son all tours" with
each other. There IS no vacancy in the
Office Of senator from wyoming, and
will not be until March 4. A vacancy
can't happen when the Office is filled.
1t cannot happen by anticipation. In
the Delaware case the vacancy actually
existed at the time of the meeting of the
legislature. Here senator is in his
seat, and will hold it until his term ex-
pres. Then there will be a vacancy in
fact. The DelaWare case m ct precisely
the contingency for which provision
was made. If the next Wyoming legiS-
lature should failtto elect senator. the
cases would be pat. There is no cause
for worry. Gov. OSBORNE will appoint
a senator when the vacancy happens"
that is, when there is no one with au-
hority to sit; and the. appointed senator
will hold his seat until after the session
of '95.

Gov. Mckinley and Wife VIII

less.

CLEVELAND, o., Feb. 21.-GOv. Nc
Kinley has decided to remain in Cleve-
land until Thursday. He was to have
delivered an address tomorrow at the
Gen. Hayes memorial services at the
Ohio Wesleyan university, in Della
ware, but the crushing blow that
fell upon him last Friday in the
failure which swept away his fortune,
rendered it impossible for him 10 pre-
pare and deliver the address. He has
been waiting here to learn the extent OF
his liabilities as lndorser for Robert
Walker before making any arrange
ments to satisfy the holders of the notes
bearing his name. 1t is stated today
that his liabilities will reach, if it does
not exceed, 100000. Gov. Mckinley
was shown dispatch sent out from
Chicago this morning regarding the APP
pointment of trustees to take charge of
his and Mrs. McKinley's property. in
which the announcement was made
that he would resign the governorship
and resume the practice of law. 70

governor said:

Kinley joins me in desiring to give up
her property also"
The governor refused to discuss the
trusteeship, saying that no definite ar
rangemenJ could be made until he had
learned the exact amount of his liabil-
ity. 1t is probable, ne said. that some
conclusion would be arrived at tOmOr-
morrow. There has been some gossip
about the subject, however, and it is
said that if trustees are appointed

will overlook the fact that the
treasury was bankrupted by the Repub-

DISREGARD OF LIFE.
Report Of the Legislative Inves-
tigating Committee on the Hor-
ror at Wann, Ill.
The Management of the Road
Held Responsible for the
Accident.

CHICAGO, Feb. ga report. which
will attract widespread attention. was
made today by the committee of the
Illinois legislature to investigate the
terrible Wann railroad disaster OH the
Big Four railroad. The report caused
a sensation in the house, and provoked
lively discussion, which promises to
result in drastic enactments. The re-
port says:
There was no element of accident In
the killing OF twenty-eight persons and
manning thirty-two others, but the in
eyitable result of misInanagemento OF the
road by its officers. showing an absolute
disregard of the sanctity of human life.
and mo reasonable precaution for the
protection Of property. At the time Of
the fatal collision the switches were in
charge of A. K. Gattan, a barber, who
had been employed in the yards only
twenty-four days, and no evidence
shows that he ever had any railroad eX-
perience, and one Johu Raw. farm
laborer, who had been in the employ of
the road only eighteen days in bis life
time, and that the KEYS to the main
track switch No. 2 were put into the
hands of Gattan and James Lyon, a
man that had been in the employ of said
road twenty-four days, and that wit
nesses working in the yard at the time
had to inquire each others names while
testifying. The proof shows that
fol the last two years the road has
failed to keep any crews in said yards
long enough for them to become COM
petent to manage said yard properly,
but changed its men so often that the
crews were always composed of more
green and incompetent men than any
body else, and many of them without
sufficient mental ability to ever become
competent; and that the managemt MT
of the said yards made no reasonable
effort to keep competent men, but
showed decided preference for green
men, until the yards had become kind
OF Kindergarten" for them, and they
were put in charge or important places
upon their secon | day OF ralroading, to
the danger of ali trains running through
SAID yards.

ANOTHER oBJECr LESSON.


The business failure OF Gov. MCKIN-
LEY should attract the serious attention
of those workingmen in the protected
industries who yet cling to the delusion
that somehow and in some way the
bonus of the manufacturers drawn from
a protective tariff comes IN part to them
through the ability it affords the en-
ployers to pay higher wages.
There is no law compelling them to
share with their workmen the tariff
profits. There is no specification any
where in the bill that such is its pur-
pose or of the proportion the iaborers
shall get. 1t is left entirely to the gen
crosby and sense of justice of the en-
ployer to share or not to share. Nc
KINLEY himself, at Akron i'll '91, had
to admit, though, that 'it sometimes
seems as if men in their greed to get
rich fail to leaven their prosperity with
the teachings of the Golden Rule. and
on every preteXt cut the wages Of their
labor"
Gov. MCKINLEY is the father of the
present ultra-protective policy of his
party. He it was who swung his party
into line for it in 'SS. He it was who
shaped the bill now law. The avoWcd
purpose was to diminish the competition
of foreigners in favor of our manufact-
urers. He gave the sugar trust the
power to eXtort from consumers in this
country from twelve to fifteen million
dollars a year. He gave the opportunity
for the formation of all these industrial
trusts which now control the product
and prices of the necessaries of nation.
To no man do they owe as much; to
none is their gratitude due in larger
measure. If they withhold their aid
from him, what reason have the work
ingmen to think that they will share
with them?
Gov. MCKINLEY has failed for over
hundred thousand dollars by indorsing
the notes of friend and a manufact-
urer. He is an honest man. He will
turn over every cent he has to his cred
itors. His home goes into the vortex.
His wife refuses to retain her property,
but devoteS it to saving her husbands
financial honor. The savings of life
time are swept away; from comparative
affiuence he goes to the foot of the LAD
der, to begin the toilsome climb again.
Surely there is a heavy and impera-
tive draft on the gratitude of men. We
sean the reports to see the narration of
how the sugar trust. the steel trust, the
iron trust. the cordage trust, and all the
other trusts come rushing to his rescue.
We look in vain. We see only that
some friends have offered to loan him
the money to pay his debts with. There
is in this selfish Indifference Of the
men whom he has served much to give
the wortingman who yet votes to sus-
tain policy which only ''enables" the
employer to share his largess with his
worlmen, food for serious reflection
whether or not he is depending on
broken reed.

Curious Resolution of a Badger
ASsemblYman

BILE for one term only; that each ex-

secretary of state is hereby instructed
to transmit copy of the resolutions to
each member of congress from Wiscon-
sin. for presentation to congress, and

REPUBLICAN EMULATION,

Ever since election day the Repub-
lican party and press have racked
their brains to throw stumbling blocks
in the way of the incoming administra-
ton. One effort after another has van
ished into thin air. and the would-be
disturbers have been at their WITS ends
to find grain of comfort in anything.
The st. Louis Globe-Democrat, one of
the foremost of Republican papers, has
at last found something for eXultation.
In its last Sunday issue it remarks that
the incoming administration will have
to ''begin by Increasing the public debt
by new issue of bonds" That is, the
new administration will be embarrassed
by finding a bankrupt treasury. This
is the strange confession made in order
to crafty desire to exult. Is it pos

nTREAGHERYv

Republican papers bubble and boil
over with Indignation at what they term
the ''treacherY" Of the dozen independ-
ent Republican members of the North
Dakota legislature who voted for Mr..
Roach for senator. Their wrath out
runs their vocabulary Of epithets. 1t is
tantaliZing. With the control of the
federal senate trembling in an even bal
ance and the power in the hands of an
irreconcilable Populist to turn it either
way, it is provoking to have handful
of Republicans in state which owes
its existence to their party throw the
determining weight on the Democratic
side and settle this important question
out of hand. AS they reflect on all the
establishments showered on PETER by
the Republican senator's; all the ca
iolery used to placate him, in view of
just such an emergency as is now OBJ
waited, when the humiliation of their
wasted efforts rises before them, even
the GLOBE feels sorry for them.
But these journals forget. Their
wrath falls far short of its merited
marx. 1IC 1lOdSliCIy VI bACoO iuClll-
bers is but a faint reflex of deeper,
wider treachery which preceded this.
and which this followed as cause follows
effect. If no precedent conditions IA
vored it, no such an act would be posi-
BILE in any party. 1t is without parallel
simply because similar conditions never
before prevailed. The votes of these
recusant Republicans root back in
votes cast in the national conventions
of the party; this treachery finds its
parent in that greater treachery OF 'SS
to the original impulse which converted
the party of human freedom into the
party of industrial slavery. Any party
nullifies the force Of the law of cohesion
when it swerves from the principles
and purposes of its creation.

viding for the erection of public grain
warehouses and grain elevators on or

exceptions to the amendment that the
railway committee attached to the bill,
namely, that the act shall only be Oper-
ative inside the outer switches of the
railroads. Moreover, Mr.. Tawney urged
that while the temper of the senate was
