WASHINGTON CRY, Sepk ia--Though tho

not probable that debate on the measure
will begin before Friday. How long ths
discussion will last is unsettled. The Re-
publicans say IL viii last nc least q month.
Tucker Of Virginia. who has the bill in
charge, says there viii be no limit placed
upon speeches in the line Of legitimate
discussion. but as soon a. IL is apparent
the minority is fiiibustering tho committee
on rules will be invoked for an order
which shall compel vote. A good deal
of opposition ts manifested. even on the
Democratic side. 20 the present considera-
ton of the proposition for repeal Of the
Federal election law. IL 10 claimed IL will
detract attention from the senate and In
this way. as we'll AZ angering the Repub-
licsns, endanRer the cause of repeal. The
answer OF the Southern Democrats 20 this
Is brief but to the point They say they
have already sacrificed their opinions on
silver to the position of the administration
and can not go back TO their constituent
cies unless something Is done that is
directly desired by their section,
Apart from this there Is general
desire on the part OF the Democratic
leaders 10 have some question brought for
ward upon which political lines can no
visibiy drawn. They point out that tho
Democratic party Is not a unit upon silver
or the state bank tar or the incoms tar and
there are differences of opinion as TO the
extent 20 which the tariff revision should

of sentiment. Leading Democrats are
unanimous IN the hope that there will 10

election Law. IL has been go long since

the house that IL will he welcomed not
only By Democrats. but by Republicans.
The exact programme which the Rspnb-
licans will follow Ia their opposition to re-
peal of the Federal election Law has not
yet been made known. Secrecy Is being
observed not without purpose. the minor
ity being afraid TO disclose its plan Of CAM

FIGHT FOR SWAMP GROUNDS
Indiana's Suit Against the TolIeston
Club, of Chicago, Begins o-Day.
ltlnvOlyes Much Valuable Territory-History
of the States Claim to the Land Assistant
Attorney General Bailey as Counsel.

Assistant Attorney general Bailey will
States counsel in the suit which is set for
to-day, involving the ownership of several
thousand acres of land which are claimed
by the Tolleston Club, OF Chicago. The
Land Is part of Lake county which is de-
scribed on the map of the first survey. in
1884. as the impossible morsss. II lies
along both sides of the Calumet creek or
river, and has been used by the TollestOn
Club as shooting ground. The club has
damned up the waters and has policed the
grounds so that the farmers who live near
are not permitted to enter the Enclosure
constructed. Owing to the development
OF that part of the State by reason of pr0x-
unity TO Chicago. the land in the tract in
dispute Is said to be worth 800 an acre. 1t
was purchased by the club for small sum
under an act of Congress. passed at their
instance. in 1870 providing that ouch land
and highest bidder. 1t was SO done in this
case. and the bidders bought it practically
at their own price. under the name of the
Drainage Company.
The State will hold that the act of 1870
was lnvalid and void for the reason that
under the act of 1884, which provided for
the cession to the several States of all land
which was subject to overflow and was
unit for cultivation, this tract passed In
stantly. upon the taking effect of the act,
into the possession of the State. whether q
patent W as issued for it or not. If the State
snall be unable to demonstrate that the
tract Is covered by o patent it will be
argued that the grant was still good fer tho
reason that it has been held in a number of
similar cases that the fact of q patent Issued
would only be an evidence of ownership and
would not constitute ownership. But as
matter of factthe State has In it possession
patent for this land signed by Willard Fill
more. as Presidents of the United States.
The act OF 1884 has been applied to oil of
the States numerous cases which have
been tried and taken to the Supreme Court
of the United States, and the States attOr-
ney will show by these presidents that the
States claim to this land is good and that
the Tolleston Club has no right to its use.
The club. however, is composed of Million
aires, end it is thought the case will go to
the Supreme Court again. Judge Gillett
will hear the evidence in the case. 1t is be-
lieved that the State has snre cause and
will come into possession of that land
egain.

A CHAPTER ON MYSTERIES
No Important Developments in the Ia.
vestigation of the Mrs. Dean Case.
Coroner Beck Locking Into the Suspicious
Deaths Of Two Infsnts-Ricbie Case Again
Taken Up-Taylor Case Ended.
CASE OF MRS. DEAN.

The Coroner Has the Stomach In His Snfs-
Doubts as to Arsenic.
The coroner was asked last night IL he
would have an analyst of the stomach and
medicine made in the case of Mrs. g. Ii.
Dean. of West Indianapolis, who died. il
wasrumored. from the effects of arsenic
poisoning. He said the stomach had been
removed. and was in q sealed
jar In his safe. and If there was any
evidence that death was caused by arseni-
cal poisoning. he would have an Analysis
Of botn the stomach and medicine made.
DR.. George, he said, had given him two Of
the capsules containing the medicine which
Mrs. Dean had taken. and he had had o
physician. who was not a chemist. make q
test for arsenic. and none was found He
also said he had tasted the medicine and
found It contained little quInine and o
considerable quantity OF capsicum.
The prescription given to Mrs. Dean by
the Rev. j. NJ. Bennington for relief from
the chllls provided for about seven grains
of capsicum and twenty-four grains of sui
phate of auinine. This wss the prescrip-
tion filed by the druggist. aud is is be-
lieved that 1t could not cause death in the
case. Dr.. George said yesterday that 1t
might be that an unusual guam tity
of capeicum would have brought aboat
the pains of which Mrs. Dean
complained before her death. He
not have produced the symptoms which
were apparent during her illnesa There
was On in tense burning In the stomach and
nausea. The symptoms were those of arseD-
zeal poisoning. and DIR. j. p Boyd and
Deputy Coroner Carey also agree with DIR.
George as to this. Mrs. Dean did not die
suddenly. as stated. She was very Ill W hen
DR.. George was called In and constantly
asked for water.
Druegisg Shake shows TIT at his quiDine Is
kept on the opposite side of his store from
the arsenic, and shows that it would have
been impossible for himself or clerk to
have made mistake In filing the order.
He further cited the fact that. as the pre-
scription was not signed by physician, be
would not have gone near box containing
poison, as poison is not SOLD under any cir
Cumstances without q phg sicIan's order.

Chief Splann's Encounter with Henderson.
The police know thar Lon Henderson is Q
very desperate man when brought to bay.
Chief of detectives Splsnn had an en-
counter with him three years ago that put
the chiefs life in jeopardy for O moment.
About that time there had been numerous
robberies in the northern part OF the city,
and il was difficult to obtain a clew to the
perpetrators. The house of Q Mr.. Hutchins
wac robbed. and among the articles stolen
was knight Templar charm worth about
S2O. The chief was informed that O charm
answering the description of the one stolen
had been pledged with a butcher on the
South Sido for o small piece of meat. The
detectives waited for some time for the
man who he'd pledged the charm TO return.
but 1t was in vain, and one Sunday morn
ing the chief determined to visit the neigh
borhood with q squad of men and find #
there was any one living about Who would
steal They came upon the house In which
Henderson lived.
Chief Splann went to the front door and
Quigley went to the rear. Henderson Was
eating. and when he saw the officers he
Jumped up and whipped ont O revolver.
He tried to shoot Chief Spiann, but that of
icer caught the hammer of the revolver
with his thumb and prevented Henderson
from shooting. This was on Cook street,
near Alabama. Henderson has already
served two terms In the penitentiary. His
condition now is not serious. and he will
probably be allie to be mp In o short time.

The Body Will Probably Be Exhumed for
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES Tharp's Statement.
There is some mystery surrounding the
death of Minnie Richie. o six weeks old in
fant. OF the home Of Effie Tharp, No. %
North Noble street. The child died on the
18th instant. and at the time of death the
coroner was notified, but after investiga-
tion became satisfied that death was no
to natural causes. and theohild was buried.
Since then facts have come to the knowl-
edge of the coroner that cause him TO sus-
pect that the child was smothered TO death.
The mother OF the child was absent from
the city at the time of Its death. and has
not since returned. The TIL arp woman
told officers Mcclellan and Kama ass that
the child had been sick several hours be-
fore It's death. and that DR.. Bell had at
tended it. She told the coroner that DIR.
Boil had not attended. The body will prob
