WORK OF CONGRESS-
RESUME OF PROsEEDINGs OF THR
SENATE AND HOUSE.
Condensed Record OF the Important
transactions OF Our National Law
makers-The Work Done in Both
Branches.

Washington, April 4-The struggle over
the O'Neill-Joy contested electicn case oc-
cupied the time of the house to-day. Mr..
Patterson (Tenn.) said there should be-
no adjournment until action was had.
There were 1913 Democratic members in
the city, fourteen mere than a quorum,
and it was the plan TO slrest abscnleas
and bring them to the bar of the house.
Mr.. ONeill was seated by a vote of 155
to %.
The tariff bill came UP in the senate
after some business of minor Importance
had been transacted. Mr.. Allison spoke
in opposition to the bill Mr.. Vest sub
mitted amendments, most of which are
to correct oversights by the finance COM
mittee. Mr.. Allen (Neb.) offered a free
coinage bill as an amendment to the tar
iff bin. The Bering sea bill passed the
senate. Senator Morgan said that this
hour, perhaps, a similar measure was be-
ing passed by the British parliament.
Washington, April SIN the house to-
day the Republicans continued filibuster-
ing to prevent the unseating of Hilborn
of California, but the Democrats secured
a quorum and Mr.. Hilborn was unseated
ITO to 13-and Mr.. English Oem.) was
sworn in. Mr.. Hall of Minnesota was
among the thirteen Democrats and Popu-
lists who voted in the negative.
Mr.. Bland called up the seigniorage bill
returned by the president without his
approval, and moved that it pass, the OBJ
jections of the executive to the contrary
notwithstanding. Mr.. Bland stated that
on Saturday he would demand the pre-
vious question. From all quarters of the
Democratic side there seemed to be
general desire to avoid the conflict of
opening debate and Mr.. BANDS sugges-
tion of three days debate was met with
a chorus of cries of "Vote, vote" Then
followed one of the most remarkable
scenes witnessed in the house in years.
The Republicans were euchred out of
their chance of seeing the dissensions in
the Democratic ranks thoroughly aired.
Mr.. Tracy, who was standing in side
aisle, said that as far as the Democrats
of the minority of the committee on free
coinage, weights and measures, were con-
cerned, they were, willing to take vote

circuit court to-day to the thinnest au-
dience yet gathered, and some of the men
present wore a sheepish air.
The defense made an unexpected move
by calling Miss Pollard to the stand and
questioning her about the birth of her
second child, which she said was born
at noon, ON Feb. 3, 1888. II only held it
in my arms two hours, according to my
promise to him." she began.
'Now, now, Miss Pollard" Mr.. But
terwcrth began nervously, warning Miss
Pollard with great solicitude to confne
herself to answering his questions. Mr..
Wilson also admonished her. .. +.
The child had been taken to the Prot
estant Founding asvlum, on Fourteenth
visited 1t with DIR. Mary Parsons once.
She continued:
"I gave it a little German name. i
pinned a note on it's clothing so they
could name it. / was reading Carlyle,
and l named it from character of his,
Dietz Carlyle, name as far as possible
from that of Col. Breckenridge or my
own"
The second time she saw the child was
on the Sd of May at the undertaking
When Mr.. Butterworth asked how the
funeral expenses had been paid, she
said that Mrs. Parsons had looked after
that, she supposed Col. Breckenridge
paid them.
During the testimony of the matron of
the asylum Miss Pollard wept profusely.
A colored cook at house frequented by
Miss Pollard and the colonel testified
that the colonel complimented her upon
her cooking and wanted to engage her
when he and Miss Pollard married. She
said that the colonel called upon Miss
Pollard after the date upon which he
was secretly married to Mrs Wing, and
she saw him kiss her. Miss Pollard's
cousins testified that she was in Pennsyl-
vania in 1888, when a woman of the
town said that she associated with Miss
Pollard in Kentucky. The defense
rested its case to-day.
Washington, April 7.-Dr Mary Par
sons testified for Miss Pollard to-day that
the slip of paper attached to the clothing
of Miss Pellard's second child, and which
read, please name my baby Dietz Down
ing" was in her handwriting. Mary Nc
Kenzie, colored woman, told when and
where the child was born. Mrs. Minear
showed by her books that Miss Pollard
was at her house in Washington Aug.
81, 1892, the day ON which the plaintiff
claims Col. Breckenridge first proposed
marriage.
Attorney Carlisle then went on the
stand and told of the finding of the
Christmas card in one of the four vol
umes of Irving. The card was not turned
down at the edges when he found it.
Els evidence was fortified by that of At
torney Johnson, who had accompanied
him to the convent.
Miss Pollard went on the stand and
denied that she had ever known Mollie
Singleblower, John Brandt, Lena Single
ton or Hiram Kaufman. She denied the
mock marriage, denied that she had ever
maintained improper relations with
Rhodes, and denied that she ever told
Breckenridge that she did. -
This closed the testimony, and argu-
ments in the case will begin Monday, Mr.
Carlisle opening for the plaintiff.

ROUTE NUMBER ONE
The Most Feasible for Duluth-Nfis-
sissppi Canal,

Washington, April O. --- The subcom-
mittee on the Mississippi canal have prac-
tically decided to report in favor of
Route No, as the most feasible of the
Ave routes considered. This is via Prairie
river and Sandy lake. The only obstacle
in the way is the question of whether
the water supply on the east end of the
divide is sufficient. The committee had q
long session and decided to get the
opinion of Gen. Casey, chief of engineers,
as to the pYohable cost of the canal

Washington, April G.-Senator Hans
brough succeeded early in to-day's ses-
sion of the senate in gettig his Russian
thistle bill up for further consideration.
AS soon as the bill secured the right
of way, Senator Mills took the floor and
attacked the bill on constitutional
grounds. Senator Kyle followed Mr..
Mills, and the South Dakotan favored
legislation to exterminate the Russian
pest. He pointed out to the senate that
many farms had been abandoned in
South and North Dakota because of this
pest The farms, he said, paid their own
ers before the thistle came to destroy
ther crops. Senator Allen followed Mr..
Kyle in favor of some legislation to ex-
terminate the thistle. Senator George
then secured the floor to oppose the bill.
The debate between Senators George,
Hansbrough, Allen and others was at
times very lively. At 2 o'clock the Hans
hrough bill had to give way to the tariff
discussion.
The 4house passed a deficiency bill and
began consideration of the postothce ap
preparation bill.

Oakland, Cal, April THE city Of
Oakland has had insny exciting events
in its history, but nothing mas occurred
here to compsre with the turmoil of uncm-
p!oyed workmen which left San Francisco
Wednesday to join .Coxey's army in it's
journey to Washington. All night long
every man, woman and chilli in Oakland
was on the streets, the riot alarm was
sounded, the governor was asked to cali
out the national guards, extra police and
deputy sheriffs were sworn in, and armed
With rifles and preparations made for
fighting of the bloodiest kind, because
Gl0 unemployed desperate men refused to
leave the city. Only a rash word or an
unlucky shot was required to nrecipita1e
conflict which would have resulted in
the extinction of this branch of the iIl-
dustrial army, for the men who composed
it were mostly unarmed, and could have
made but q feeble res istance to the Of
fcers and oitize;.s. But the word was not
uttered, nor the shot fired, for the army,
overcome by force, consented to move
when it was seen that further resistance
to the will of the citizens of Oakland was
useless.

RIOT AT AN ELECTION.
Fatal Shooting ARRAY at the Polls
in Kansas City.


Kansas City, April "A riot occurred
between members of the A. P. A. and
Catholic politicians in which one man
was killed outright, three were mortally
ounded and several others were seri-
ously injured by stray bullets. The
trouble was the cul lmination of bad feels
ing that had been manifested all day
between those elements. Mike Callahan,
a well known politician, Catholic, and
supporter of Frank J. Johnson for mayor,
was killed. Jerry Pate, deputy con-
stable, was shot in the head and will
die. Con Brosnahan was shot through
the kidneys and will die. Pat Fleming
was shot in the shoulder. Harry Fowler
was also shot; will die. John Gowan
was shot, but not seriously. Eight ar
rests were made of those who partici-
pated in the riot. The scene of the riot
is on the Southwest boulevard. Con-
stable Pate interfered among a crowd of
angry disputants, and Callaghan, it is
said, fourished a pistol. Pate called on
him to surrender. Callaghan fred but
missed. Pate returned the fire and shot
Callaghan dead. The shooting then be-
came general.
Chicago, April 4.-The election of alder
manic and town tickets here was attend
ed by many brawls and disturbances.
The ball opened with a free-for-all fight
in the Twenty-third ward, in which sew
eral ward heelers and policemen were
badly bruised. Later in the day the fol-
lowers of John Coughlin, the Democratic
aldermanic candidate in the First ward,
fired on the band wagon bearing the BAN
ner of Shakel, Independent Democratic
candidate. A volly of pistol shots was
fired, breaking windows and causing
great excitement, but no one was hurt.
John Bell, Coughlia heeler in the same
ward, was shot twice in a saloon brawl
by Louis Luther, Shekel follower, and
may die, and in the Fourteenth ward
Samuel Phelps was shot at a polling
place by John Marshall and may not re-
cover. Few arrests were made.
Motion for a Separate Legislature
Adopted I'm the House of Commons
London, April An the house of COM
mons to-day James Henry Dalziel made
motion declaring that it was desired
that while retaining intact the power and
supremacy of the imperial parliament, to
establish q legislature for Scotland to
deal with purely Scottish affairs. In
speaking of his motion Mr.. Dalziel said
that nobody would deny that the business
of the house of commons was so congest-
ed that q new and bold departure was
necessary. The governments proposal
TO appoint n grand committee to deal
with Scottish affairs was only a tenn
porary expedient. The Scotch members
of the house had by an overwhelming
majority voted in favor of home rule
FOR Scotland. They had entertained no
anti-English feeling; their sole object be-
ing to procure for Scotland legislation
that was impossible under existing con-
ditions The house adopted the motion
by vote of $50 to 40.

Washington, April 9,-The unceremoni-
GUS manner in which the freight car load
of forty unemployed from Cincinnati was
taken in charge by the police last night
is a foretaste of the reception which
awaits C0xey's army, To-day the men
will be brought into police court and a
charge of vagrancy entered against them
The local law against vagrants applies
to all men without visible means of sup
port who are destitute, likely to become
charges upon the city, who have no voca-
ton or means of getting a livelihood or
who solicit aims. The penalty is ninety
days in the workhouse at hard labor
but it rests within the discretlaA of the
judge to accept their promise to leave
the city at ONCE, or to accept $500 bonds
as surety that they will not beg or be-
come public charges. Cant. Primrose,
the leader of the band. may find himself
in more serious trouble than his fol-
lowers. There is an old law on the stat
ute books, passed in 1890 and has never
been repealed, which makes it a offense
to bring into the district of Columbia
any destitute people who are likely to
become public charges, with a penalty
from $25 to $50 fine for each offense
The police authorities are considering the
advisability of bringing a charge of vio-
lating this law against the leader, in
which case his fines, with an alternat:xe
of the workhouse imprisonment, would
amount to a very heavy punishment.
The same charge may be brought against
Gen. Coxey if disaster does not overtake
the army of the commonweal before it
completes it's itinerary. Of course, tho
vagrancy act may be brought into ap.
plication against his followers.
Brownsville, Pa. April 9.-This town,
where the distinguished and lama manted

boyhood days, welcomed the army of
the eommonweal of Christ fairly we'll.
Great curiosity has been for weeks
aroused over the proposed arrival. 1t
was not until Z o'clock that the bugle was
heard sounding down the valley and the
commonweal of Christ marched over the
Bridgeport bridge and entered this city.
Ten thousand weary watchers viewed the
tramp of 294.
