thing in the senate today after routine
of this morning business WAS considera-
ton of Stewards resolution offered
Saturday, arraigniDg the president for
attempting to coerce congress into pass
ing the silver repeal bill, thereby
impairing independence of the CO.
ordinate branch government, in viola
ton of the constitution and destructIv 9
to the government.
The Nevada senator had scarcely
spoken dozen words in support of his
resolution when Henderson of Indiana
interrupted with the point of no quorum.
Enough senators finally strolled in to
make quorum and Stewart proceeded.
He began by referring to the recent
centennial anniversary laying the
corner stone of the capitol,
when, he said, the president, with more
than hundred thousand high paid,
government offices to bestow, with veto
power designed only for extra ordinary
occasions, backed by concentrated cap
ital and "venal press" turning to the
senate wing he declared in menacing
tones that il representatives there as
sembled legislated in passion or prejudice
on behalf OF sectional or selfish interests
the time when corner stone stone laid
or circumstances surrounding it was
not worth concentrating.
This sentiment was cheered by the
thoughtless multitude, and construed
by venal press as rebuke from the presi-
dent to a guilty venal senate.
| AN UNPRECEDENTED COURSE.
Stewart then quoted from history Of
England, as to the parliamentary
struggle with the Stuarts, and coming to
present time charged that the president,
in disregard of his oath of Office. allowed
the secretary of the treasury to violate
the act which made the purchase of
100000 ounces of silver per month
mandatory by exercising unlawful
discretion purchasing smaller amount.
Stewart declared that at no time since
Charles the first in either England or
United States had eny king or president
openly and defantly disobeyed the
statute which he, himself, declared
mandatory, or allowed his subordinates
to do same things.

constitutional liberty was Of any value
at all it should stand up and say to
the president:
"You have overstepped the mark. We
cannot afford to have the laws of con-
gress disregarded.'
/ Stewart said the president had no
exalted opinion of the senate or house.
He seemed to regard them as an ap-
pendage to the executive. In one of
his latters the president spoke of expect
ing soon to have ga session OF congress
on his hands," That spoke volumes
touching the presidents opinion of a
coordinate branch of government. Con-
gress was on nobodys hand.
Without concluding. Stewart yielded
to Cameron of Pennsylvania who spoke
against the repeal bill.
LONDON, Sept. pa private cable
received by an importing firm dated
Rio Janiero says affairs at the Brazil
ian capital remain unchanged. The
rebal fleet is still threatening bonn
bardment and negotiations are yet pro-
gresspg. Business, in spite c the
threatening state of affairs, has picked
up somewhat and is now not altogether
at a standstill. Negotiations of some
kind are in progress every day and it
is said to be not quite impossible that
peace arrangements may be patched
up between the rebels and the govern
ment. Should this be the case it will
be mainly due to the untiring efforts of
representatives of foreign powers and
to the backing later recovered from
commanders of foreign warships at
Rio. Failing to patch up peace very
shortly the insurgents will repeat the an
nouncement that they VIII lay Rio in
ashes. President Pexioto does not
increase In popularity with the masses
and he is said to be going about sur
rounded by strong body guard as if
he had been known to be in dread of as
sassination at the hands of his enc
mics. The insurgents are still block
aiding Santos and are expected to make
their power felt in other ports to the
south of Rio are now threaten
ed by the insurgent war vessels.
AMSTERDAM, Sept. 26.-The police of
this city on the Doth arrested a man
named Henry Deiang charged with muir
der. 1t appears that in June he married
Sarah levitt, young English girl, who
soon disappeared. In August he mar
ried the pretty daughter of local inn
keeper, who also disappeared. This
coming finally to the ears of the police
led to an investigation and arrest of
Deiang.
1t was believed he was guilty of
series of wife murders similar to those
of Desming the noted Australian wife
murderer, and searches for remains
were begun, both in Holland and Eng
land, without any result till today.
Today the body of Sarah levitt was
found in the woods forty miles from
here, giving evidence of having bean
murdered. A general search of both |
countries will be renewed. 1t is be- |
lieved he has numerous victims.
