Washington, March. PIN the SEN
ate the bill for the purchase of a site
for a new government printing office
consumed nearly the whole morning
hour and much to the surprise of
everybody an amendment providing for
the purchase OF what is known as the
Malone site was passed.
Notice for motion to reconsider the
vote was given, however, and at some
future time the subject will be re-
opened.
The McGarrahan bill, which was TO
have been taken up today went over
till Monday; also the bill for the eNter-
mination of the Russian thistle.
A resolution offered by Senator Hoar,
expressing regret at the death of Kos
SUN, was adopted.
Mr.. Sherman precipitated discus
sion of the nature of a free silver de-
bate by the introduction of a resolution
directing the committee on judiciary to
examine and report whether the Sirnu-
lation of the coins of the United States
by coins of the same weight alloy and
fneness, except as authorized by law is
made criminal by the acts against
counterfeiting coins of the United
States and other countries and if not to
report a bill to prevent and punish
FSuch stimulation.
This resolution gave rise to much
raillery and Senator Cullom said: IF
they can not get free coinage in one
way they will in another"
Mr. Henderson, of Nebraska, did not
believe it was possible the existing
laws were not sufficient to reach the
class of counterfeiters mentioned, but
If it was true thought the defect should
be remedicd.
Mr. Stewart, of Nevada, objected to
the present consideration of the resolu-
ton. and it went over without action.

NAVAL CIRCLES EXCITED
ADMIRAL WALKER GIVEN COM
NEAND AT HAWAII.
Rumor That the Provisional Gov
eminent VIII Apply to Some 9th
err Power for Either Annexation
or u Protectorate ThurstOn
Called Home.

Chicago, March 22.-Posts Washing
ton: Naval circles are excited over the
order recalling Commodore Kirkland
en- route for Hawaii, and instructing
Admiral Walker to take command of
our naval forces at that station. Adj
miral Walker has just finished term
of sea duty and expected to have a
long spell of shore. The orders are
understood to be due to the well au-
thenticated report that the Hawaiian
government is about to apply to some
other power for either annexation or a
protectorate, and the wish Of the pres
ident to have an old and war-tried ma
val officer in command at Hawaii
should such a thing come to pass.
The admiral will carry orders to re-
sist promptly and with all his strength
any attempt OF any foreign power to
annex the islands or establish a pro-
tectorate over them.

FRYE's INDUSTRIAL ARMY.

Ell Paso, March 22.-GeneraI Lewis
&c. Frye, of the United States Indus
trial Army. has sent to each member
of Congress the following letter:
THAT you may be thoroughly in
formed, I send you preamble and
constitution of the United States In
dustrial Army. You must be aware of
the fact that nature is not at fault,
for we have the most prolific country
in the world Our granaries are full
to overlooking, our warehouses are full
of material for clothes and our cities
have millions of vacant houses, and
yet our people are ragged, hungry and
homeless These conditions are
brought about by vicious and ignorant
legislation in the interest of the pluto
Gratis. The army is daily increasing
and will perhaps number 100000. They
are marching on to present you with
a living petition of want and. misery
one that cannot be thrown in the waste
basket-to request you to pass some
laws for their immediate relief. 1t is
in your power to pass a law upon the
secretary to issue one billion dollars
of government legal tender money and
employ all the idle citizens on internal
improvements, such as irrigating can
ais, to reclaim the desert waste, also
to improve harbor and navigable riv-
ers. On behalf of the starving millions
of men, women and children, we be-
seech you to act at your earliest con-
venience.

Omaha, Neb., March 22.-Now 1t Is
strike. The Union Pacific employees
are uneasy and FESTIVE, and there is an
ugly look in the sky. They are not
saying many words, but the few they
use count for a good deal.
Concessions they came for, and, so
far they have had none.
All the conceding has been done by
the men. Not a point has been given
in by the company and wherever there
was a difference of opinion it still ex-.
lists, unless the men have receded from
their position. This has had a very
depressing effect on them. The men
have almost reached the conclusion
that the conference is a useless waste
of time.
This evening, it was quietly ANNOUNCE
| ed that unless some very substantial
concessions were made from the Dundy
schedule, the receivers of the Union
Pacific would have a strike on their
hands. The men have determined to-
| drop the conference and will now allow
the receivers to settle for themselves
| the point. If they decide to go before
Judge Caldwell, insisting on the Dundy
schedule, they will be opposition both
| in and out of court. There was a Sc
cret meeting of the men last night. at
| which Eugene V. DebS and others
spoke in favor of disseminating what
they all called a farce.
| Mr.. Debs went over the present sit-
uatiOn, and likened it to the Northern
Pacific affair, which ended at last by
forcing the men to yield to just what
the company's receivers wanted. Mr.
! Debs suggested that the delegates en-
power their various chairmen to get to-
gether into committee of action and
| draft an agreement which would he
| satisfactory to them and which would
| give them what they thought would
be their due, this to be submitted to
Mr.. Clark in the event that Judge
/ Caldwell was unable to give what Was
asked. He was loudly applauded.
/ In the next breath when he suggest
ed that the only other course open to
\ the men, that of striking in the event
that this demand was not acceded to. be
Ftaken, the applause, continued, and Mr.,
Debs' idea was accepted by the body.
Other speakers followed, and all
agreed that the present conference is
a farce and will amount to nothing at
all.
Another meeting will be held tomor-
row night, when the men will 20 still
further into the matter and prepare for
! their final demand
The platform will be presented to
Judge Caldwell, and if he finds that
he can not accede to it's provisions, the
men will discover that "they can not
any longer remain in the service of the
Union Pacific railroad receivers"
The engineers tonight deny that they
have any intention of striking They
say they have decided to go before
Judge Caldwell on the stand made in
conference and not with any threats.
They feel they have not gained any
thing in the conference but believe
the court will give them relief They
deprecate very much the talk of strik-
ing.

New York, March 22.-Banker En-
dorf, of Vienna, is in New York in
search of young man who is wanted
in a number of European cities.
His name is Ker, and his operations
were on a large scale and uniformly
successful, but the most interesting is
his exploit in Vienna, which caused
him to flee to the United States.
About three months ago Banker En-
dorf, one of the solid men of the Aus
TRAN capital, met at his club hand
some American who was introduced to
him as Mr.. Armstrong, of Chicago.
The two men were attracted to each
other, and soon became confidential.
Then Mr.. Armstrong told the banker
that he was in reality Edward Wander
bilt, nephew of William H., and that
he was travelling incognito to avoid at
tention. He was charmed, and invited
the young Croesus to his home. The
invitation was accepted. Mr.. Wander
bilt went to the bankers house and at
once seemed to fall in love with Freda,
his beautiful daughter.
Papa Endorf rubbed his hands in
glee when he beheld this, which seemed
to be reciprocated. But his joy lasted
only short time. Three weeks ago
Mr.. Vanderbilt and Freda fed from
Endorf's home, taking an equivalents of
$40, 900 in good hard cash.
The girl had yielded to her lovers
solicitations and cast her lot with him
without going through the marriage
form.
The police of Vienna told Mr.. Endorf
that Vanderbilt was Ker, a confidence
man. No trace of the swindler was
found in the city and it is supposed
that he came to this country at once.

NO PROGRESS MADE.
But the Roads viii Try, Try and Try
Again.


Chicago, March 22.-The Western
Passenger association lines today made
no progress towards restoring the rates
between the Missouri river and Chicago
but will try again tomorrow.
A representative of the Atchison road
was present during the earlier portion
of the meeting, and for a time it
seemed as though the Atchison and
Northwestern would agree, but when
the meeting reconvened after lunch,
the Atchison man was not in evidence
and after waiting for him two hours
the meeting adjourned.
A telegram was received late yester-
day by several of the lines which yes
terday sent a joint telegram to the
Union Pacific, asking it's cooperation in
raising rates west of the Missouri
river, which ocasioned great amuse-
ment.
1t was signed by E. L. Lomax, gem
eral passenger agent of the Union Pa
cific, and stated that the Union Pacific
was much pleased over the friendly
feelings entertained for it by the Chi
cago lines, that it was anxious to have
the rates restored and concluded:
eve have given individual notice of
the restoration of rates from the Mis-
souri, river to California"
Before this message was cold an
other came from B. H. Payne. assist
ant general freight agent of the Union.
Pacific, declaring the first message had
been sent through error. 1t had been
given to a stenographer to read and the
stenographer had let it slip.
The lines were requested to consider
the first message cancelled. The gem
eral opinion is that between the send
ing of these two kilograms, the North
western had advised the Union Pacific
not to restore rates west of the Mis-
souri, river unless they were advanced

SAY HE Is INSANE.
The Matter VIII BE Tried and De-
termined at Once.

termined at Once.
Springfield. Ills, March 22-After
the refusal of the supreme court yes
terday to grant stay to Patrick Eu-
gene Prendergast, sentenced to hang
at Chicago tomorrow, for the murder
of Mayor Harrison, the attorneys for
Prendergast decided to appeal to Gov
ernor Altgeld.
Last evening c. s. barrow tele-
graphed the governor at Biloxi, Miss,
asking him to grant a respite. Gov
ernor Altgeld answered that he de-
clined to interfere with the duties be-
longing to the acknowledgements of
illinois,
A petition for a respite was then
drawn up by Mr.. barrow and he Sc
cured the names of nine circuit judges
of Cook county. The petition asks for
the respite on account of doubt exist
ing as to PrendergaSt's sanity, and that
in order that a full investigation and
pardon might be had Lieutenant. Gov
ernor Hill was telegraphed at Murphys-
boro and answered he would hear the
case today. He arrived in this city at
noon, but at Mr.. Darrow's request the
hearing was postponed to $50 pm, in
order that Richard Wade, another at
torney for Prendergast, might be pres
ent. barrow endeavored to secure a
ernor declined.
barrow presented the petition and ar
gued that Prendergast is now insane,
and was at the time he killed Mayor
Harrison and that it would be dis
grace to hang an insane man. He Of
fered no additional evidence. He
pleaded that Prendergast objected to be
hung on Good Friday and on that
ground alone clemency should be shown
him. He asked that stay Of execu-
ton should be granted until the lieu
tenant governor should fully examine
the evidence in the case. Wade failed
to arrive at 4 o'clock and Lieutenant
Governor Hill postponed further hear
ing till pm.
After hearing the arguments of Prem
dergast's attorney, Lieutenant Cover
grant no reprieve. He said that Prem
dergast had been tried by a jury fairly
and had been convicted, and that they
had adjudged him sane. AS the execu-
tive of the state, he did not feel he
could interfere in a case where all the
courts had refused to.
When the federal judges announced
| they would not grant the appeal for
| the writ of habeaS corpus in the case
| of Prendergast, the assassin's attor-
news renewed their efforts by raising
| the question of their clients sanity.
| The point raised now is that Prem
| dergast has became insane since the
| trial, so they applied to Judge Chef
lain. and ne consented to hear argu-
| ments to show that he could properly
| take the mater UP. 1t was nearly 1890
| tonight before they concluded their
| opening arguments, and Judge Chef
lain decided that he could right
| fully take the case. Having heard the
arguments, Judge Chetlain announced
| his decision, extending the time OF the
execution of sentence two weeks, to
April 6, and setting the commencement
| Of the trial as to the question of the
prisoners sanity at Saturday morning
| at 10 o'clock.
The ground upon which the court
| granted the stay was the testimony of
| two witnesses who stated Prendergast
| has become insane since his trial

Washington, March 22-Counsel for
Colonel Breckenridge have decided to
follow the example of their opponents
by reserving their clients testimony
for the closing card in their case.
Accordingly the silver-haired con-
gresham disappointed many people by
failing to go on the witness stand, and
one of the disappointed ones was Miss
Pollard herself, who left the court as
soon as she heard of the programme.
The entire day was dragged out by
the reading of dispositions. all aimed at
two points-to prove Miss Pollard did
wood convent in 1885, and that she is
other than she represents herself to be.
There will be nothing more for the
jury until Monday, as the court in
tends to adjourn Friday, and the ses-
sions Saturday will be devoted to ar
gumentS over the admissa bility of de-
positions to show that Miss Pollard
had been intimate with other men
than the defendant, to which the
plaintiff has given notice of the objec-
tons.
Judge Bradley has been the recipient
since the commencement of this trial
of an unusually large correspondence
the case. Many letters
come from religious people, urging
him in the interests of the morals of
the community to exclude newspaper
reporters from the court, a power
which the judge says is not in his
power to exercise. One missive which
has caused the judge to smile was
signed by a woman member of the
bar, and suggested that since he ex-
Icluded all women from the court when
Miss Pollard gave her testimony, that
the men should be done likewise and
the women admitted when Colonel
Breckenridge takes the stand.

SIX HUNDRED STRIKE.
Insist on a Whole Loaf or None at
All, See.

All, See:
Chicago, March 23.-Six hundred men
employed in Crane Brothers shop will
strike this morning. The firm posted
notices last night that a 10 per cent
reduction in wages had been made in
all departments. The men heard on
Wednesday evening that the cut was
about to be made, and the report had
the effect of causing a number of men
to leave their places before the order
was really given out. The original
force of strikers has already been
swelled by the addition of nearly 400
men who had been employed in the
works in Desplaines street This is
the iron department. The men have
opened headquarters and are prepared
for a long struggle.
There are prospects of a general
strike of the brickmakers in the vicin-
Iity of this city A movement to pre-
lcipitate a general strike among men
employed at Blue Island and Dalton is
lin progress by the men who recently
walked out of the yards at Dernice
numbering about 400 The strike was
to force the raise of 5 cents thousand
for handling green and burned brick.
The men decided if their strike was
to prove successful it would be neces-
sary to call out all the men employed
in the various wards.

WAS A CLEVER SCHEME.
How the Southern Pacific People
Have Been SSindIed.

San Francisco. March PA clever
scheme to swindle the Southern Pacific,
by the reissue of punched railroad
tickets, has been unearthed, and F. A.
Whiteside and J. A. Andrews, clerks
in the company's office, in this city,
and A. B. Greenwald and NJ Green
wald ticket scalpers, have been ar
rested for forgery.
When the conductors on the Southern
Pacific turned in their punched tickets
from Portland or Ogden, to San Fran
cisco, to these two clerks, it was their
practice to take them. re-punch them
to another point, say Los Angeles, and
re-punch also the date say January, to
April. and sell them to the scalpers.
The work was very skilfully done and
the tickets We're accepted without ques-
ton by conductors.
The swindle has been continued for
some time, and the profits of the con-
spirators were quite large.
