PRENDERGAsT's MOTHER
Takes the Stand in Behalf of Her
Assassin Son.

Assassin Son.
CHICAGO, Dec. 14.-Among the wit
nesses in the Prendergast trial were
Edward Stone, = reporter, Police Ser
geant Barber and Miss Sophia Har-
rison, q daughter of the murdered
mayor. The story as developed in their
testimony did not differ materially from
that already published. Miss Harrison
was greatly agitated while giving her
testimony and seemed at the point of
fainting at times. Prendergast was i'll
at ease.
The case for the prosecution closed
with the introduction of the bullets
found in the body of Mayor Harrison.
The defense opened with the testi-
money of Mrs. Prendergast, the mother
Of the defendant, whose evidence was
entirely devoted to proof of his in
sanity. Her son had bad fall when
he was child, striking his head and
injuring his eyesight.
During her cross-examination by At
torney Trude the prisoner lost his
temper and exclaimed: "Trude, you
are scoundrel to talk to my mother
that way"

Drives a Young New York Clergy
man to Suicide.
New York, Dec. 14.-Rev. Vernon M.
Olyphiant died today by his own hand.
His father, Robt. Olyphiant, president
of the Delaware & Hudson Canal Co.,
says his son had gone to his room after
luncheon at 8 O'Clock. He was visited
by his little sister Grace after this, but
no one went to his room until dinner
time. His father called him out but
receiving no answer went into the
young mans room.
Here he found his son half sitting,
half reclining on sofa with bullet
wound in his head. On the floor was a
double barrelled rifle. The family had
heard no shot and knew of no reason of
the suicide. The young man was a
Princeton graduate and had been Or
dained as Presbyterian clergyman six
years ago but had no charge. 1t is be-
lieved the young man was mentally
unbalanced from over-study.

nephew of President Van Buren, was
chosen chairman. Resolutions adopted
cited the misgovernment by the rulers
of Tammany Hall and contrasted the
rapid and colossal growth of wealth
among the leaders with the present de-
preston in business, and said it arous-
ed feelings of suspicion and distrust
which enforces the propriety of rigid
investigation at the hands of the next
legislature. Further, it was the first
duty of honest citizens to relieve the
city from such rulers regardless either
of state or national politics.

Voorhees, introduced his long promised
financial bill. 1t provides for the coin
age of the silver seignorage, for the
purchase and coinage of $4,000, 900
worth OF silver per month after the
coinage of the seignorage, for the retire
ment of paper currency of less denom-

all gold coins of less denomination than
$40 and for the appointment of an in
ternatlonal monetary commission. The
bill was not received with any great de-
gree OF favor by either the silver advo-
Gates or their opponents.
In regard to the inference in some
quarters that the administration favor
ed the bill, Voorhees, today said: "My
bill is not the result of one word of con-
sultation and | certainly do not claim
to represent the administration in in
Producing it. I desire, however, to help
the treasury out OF its Deficiency"

WASHINGTON, Dec. 14.-The house
was dsadlocked for two hours today by
the refusal of the Republicans to vote
on motion to go into committee Of
the whole for the consideration of the
Arizona statehood bill. The Demo.
cratic leaders decided this morning to
proceed with the consideration. Of the
Arizona and New Mexico bills and dis.
pose of them before the holidays. The
Repu blicans do not relish the idea OF
bringing these Democratic territories
into the Union and at the request OF
their leaders refrained from voting, ex-
cept those from the newly admitted
states of Washington, Wyoming. Mon
tana, Idaho and the Dakotas. The
Democrats expect to have their own
quorum present tomorrow.
The McGarrahan bill was called up
during the morning hour but was fill
bustersd against by Sayres, of Texas.
Immediately after the reading OF the
journal Dockery called up the bill to
improve the methods of accounting lin
the postoffice department. The bill
abolishes the postal note, and provides
for reduced schedule of rates for
money orders, approximately to the
scale of fees charged by express COM
panies and make other changes. The
bill passed without debate.
The bill limiting the time under
which claimants to property under the
donation act of 1850 must appear, to
January l, 1895, and giving the present
occupants of lands preferential claim in
case the the titles under the ret
of 1850 are not perfected was taken up.
There was some debate by Herman, OF
Oregon, and Mr.. Van Voorhis of New
York. The latter inuimated that some
private interest must exist in the bill
that it ought not to deprive one class of
claimants for the benefit of another.
He declared that it would be another
Des Moines river case. Herman stated
that the old claimants had had forty
years IN which to confirm their titles
1t was not designed to dispossess anv
claimants; the bill simply required the
original claimants or their heirs to
come forward and protect their titles
or surrender them to the present occu-
pants. The bill passed.

BERLIN, Dec. 14.-There was much ex-
citement in the reichstag when the
Spanish treaty of commerce was intro
duced to second reading. Manteuffel
attacked the general and commercial
policy of the government whose treat
ment of the agricultural classes en-
couraged agrarian agitation.
Won Caprivi made vigorous reply
and said it was true the Russian treaty
would be made at the expense of hus-
bandry in as much as grain producing
states must receive concessions through
it. The chancellor added that he was
only opposed to the method Of
agitation resorted to by the farm :
ers' alliance and asserted that it
was not conservative to appeal to the
majorities against the authority of the
government. The latter must seek sup
port from large portion of the popula.
tion and not from any individual party
and would take support wherever it
could find it. The remark of Caprivi
to the effect that the deputies should
not be Influenced by the masses caused
a decided sensation. Abiding to the
currency the chancellor said he was
opposed to taking any steps in the di-
rection unless England joined it.
Both the Spanish and Servian treaties
passed to second readings by large ma
jorities.
CapriVi on BimetalliSm,
LONDON, Dec. 14.-A correspondent
of the Post at Berlin says: Caprivi's
speech in the reichstag was made when
he was fresh from al audience with the
emperor. He was evidently in the
highest spirits and treated the reich
stag to speech OF such point and nerve
as has not been heard by that body
since Bismarck retired to private life.
In reference to the currency question
the chancellor denied that the buying
power of gold had risen high enough to
injure German husbandry. The Prus-
sian minister of commerce was to make
inquiries on the subject and the result
of this inquiry must be awaited.
The head of the English government
Gladstone, had most pointedlv express
ed his antagonism to bimetslism and
therefore change in the attitude OF
England would not be hoped for. Ii he
himself continued chancellor, were n
fanatical bimetallist he would not un-
der the present circumstances move a
single step in that direction.
