The Senate Was in Session Over
Eleven Hours,
When an Adjournment Was
Forced by No Quorum.
SHARP WORDS SPOKEN.
Physical Endurance May Decide
Tariff Bill's Fate.
SHARP WORDS SPOKEN.

WASHINGTON, May 1s.-After the
bribery investigation was disposed of
in the senate yesterday, the tariff bill
was taken up, and Mr.. Ga1linger for an
hour and three-quarters continued his
review of previous tariff legislation.
He then yielded to Mr.. Higgins (Re-
publican) of Delaware, who spoke at
length on the effect of protection
prices.
Mr.. Allen (Populist) of Nebraska
engaged in a controversy with the
Delaware senator and Mr.. Palmer
(Democrat) of Illinois also took a
hand. Mr.. Higgins finished a few
minutes after o'clock. The pending
amendment fixing a duty of one
eighth per cent per pound on ochre
and other earthS was defeated.
At 6 o'clock Mr.. Harris, the floor
manager of the tariff bill, moved the
senate take a recess until this morn
ing, with the intention of continuing
the legislative day. and for the con-
sidera ton of the tariff bill to the ex-
clusion of all other Legislative busi-
ness This meant the Inaugural ton
of the policy of duress that made
famous the struggle over the federal
election bill, the bill to repeal the
Sherman law, and all other big Iegisla-
tive contests in the senate.
The Repu blicans, under the leader
ship of Mr.. Manderson resisted, vainly
protesting that they did not seek to
delay action on the tariff bill They
used the usual hlibuStering meth DDS.
breaking a quorum by refusing to
vote, although certain of their West
ern colleagues declined to join the
filibuster.
At 1880 a motion to adjourn was
voted down by the Democrats. Both
sides by this time had evidently con-
cluded to sit it out" They prepared
for a siege. They smoked in the cloak
rooms and chatted on the floor.
At 500 the sergeant-at-arms sub
mitted his report, which showed that
of the absentees on the roll call, ten
senators were absent from the city,
twenty-five could not be found, one,
Mr.. Morrill, publican, had declined
to attend, and nine teen were either
present now or had reported they
would Immediately respond to the re-
quest. This did not satisfy Mr. Har-
ris. He was in favor of adopting
more heroic measures. He moved to
compel the attendance of the absen-
tees.
After 1890 o'clock, after sitting for
eleven and a half hours, and after
some very sharp and plain talk on
both sides, the Repu blicans succeeded
in forcing an adjournment, although
the battle was in reality drawn one
A compromise had been practically
agreed upon before the adjournment
by which the sessions of the senate
are to begin at 10 o'clock after Mon
day. Senators ON both sides of the
cham Der regard the work of last even
ing as the real beginning of the night
sessions and roll calls, a test of ply
steal endurance on one side and OF
resistance on the other, which all
have understood from the beginning
would be resorted to before the end
of the tariff debate should be reached.

A DREADFUL WIND.
Five Persons Killed by an Ohio
Tornado.
Two are Fatally Hurt and 9th
ers Injured.
ONE TORN TO PIECES
And the BodyScattered Through
the Fields.

KUNKLE, Ohio, May 1s-A tornado
passed Onefourth of a mile west of
here at 1850 o'clock yesterday after
noon, killing five persons, fatally in
Juring two others and slightly wound
ing several more. The dead are Dam
iel Barrett, right leg broken, arm torn
off and internally injured. Mrs DAN
iel Barrett, leg torn from body and en-
trails torn out Martha Daso, head
crushed; died two hours afterward.
George Oxinger, body beaten into q
shapeless mass. Myrta Daso
Charles Cole, fatally hurt internal
~. Mrs. Charles Cole, head crushed;
will die. Jennie Creek, head crushed;
will recover.
The scene of the tornado is a hard
one to describe. Houses, fences, trees
and distractions of all kinds in the
path of the storm have been carried
away and nothing left to mark the
spot where they stood except huge
holes in the ground The country
devastated is about one-quarter of
mile wide and six miles in length the
great funnel-shaped cloud travelling
in an irregular southeasterly course,
the greatest damage being done about
a mile from where it rose, and pass
ing on east.
The building in which were Daniel
Barrett, his wife and their two grand
daughters, Myrta and Martha Dasco,
is SO completely demolished that not
even portion of the foundation is
left. The first remnants of the
house are at least 100 yards from
where it stood. Here began a few
scattering boards, and further on can
be seen larger portions of the build
ing, and about forty rods from where
it stood lies the roof almost intact,
together with portions of the frame
work.
Mrs. Barrett, who wass the worst
mangled, was carried over a quarter
of mile and dropped in cemetery,
her dismem bered limbs being found
about 100 yards further on. There
was very little left of the woman's
body that resembled the form of
a human being. Her breast and
trails, lungs and other internal organs
scattered through three forty five
acre fields. The search for the re-
mains continued fully an hour before
flesh half her weight was found.
George Oxinger was in the field
blowing; he saw the storm coming
and ran to the barn. He succeeded in
getting his horses inside. He started
for the house and was ten rods distant
from the barn and exactly in line with
the storm. Witnesses say the man
was lifted from the ground and hurled
into the air at least 100 feet. OK
inger's lifeless body was found about
100 rods from where it was lifted into
the air. His bones protruded from
the flesh, and his body indicates that
he came in contact with many of the
flying trees and beams.

INLAND SHIP CANALS.
Two Important Projects FavOrabIy Acted

Two Important Projects FavorabIy Acted
Upon by the House Committee.
WASHINGTON, May 1.-two import
ant projects for the inland ship canals
were favorably acted upon yesterday
by the house committee on railways
and canals. Appropria tions were
voted for surveys for a canal to con-
meet the Hudson river and the great
lakes and for one between the Ohio
river and Lake Erie.
The bill by Representative CHECKER
ing of New York, which appropriates
$50, 900 for survey of route for the
former, did not designate any route,
but there is movement on foot for
negotiations with the state of New
York for the cession of the Erie canal
property to the general government
Three bills have been before tho
committee for a canal between the
Ohio river and Lake Erie. A com
promise measure has been agreed
upon, and committee bill will be
presented which will propose an APP
propria ton of 500 900 for survey by
board of engineers. Cleveland,
Erie and Pittsburg are the cities
which might be principally benefited
by this measure.

BRYAN DECLINES.


The Young Nebraskan Not . Candidate
for Recollection.
WASHINGTON, May 1s.-Representa-
tive William J. Byran of the First Ne
braska district, has sent a letter to
the chairman of his congressional
committee, Judge J. 81. Broadly. of
Lincoln, declining to be a candidate
for election. His reasons for retir-
ing from congressional life are
that he is unwilling to enter into
a contest which, to be waged sue
cessfu1ly, would confine him to his
district during the campaign. The
district is Republican by $500, and in
the last election Mr.. Bryan won by
the narrow majority of lao, and as he
wants to take a more active part in
the state campaign than he could do
with a doubtful congressional cam
paign on his hands, he has decided to
decline denomination.
In his letter he expressed some
doubts as to the future of the Demo
cratic party, saying:
IF the presidents financial policy
becomes the policy of the party L do
not see any reason for the continued
existence of the party, because the
Repu blicans, having followed that
policy longer, are better prepared
than we to support it, On the other
hand, if the party repudiates Mr..
Cleveland's financial policy and re-
news its devotion to the common peo-
pie, it may yet become an effective in
strument in the securing of good gov
erument.n

SIMSROTT DISAPPEARS.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, May 1s.-The
Switchmen's Mutual Aid association is
still in convention here. Secretary
and Treasurer Simsrott, of Chicago,
has failed to show up here, although
he was expected here on Monday last.
When it is known that he handled
on an average 500, 900 of the associa-
TONS funds every month, the effect
of his absence can be appreciated. A
committee was sent to Chicago and
learned that he had disappeared from
his home. His wife knew nothing of
his whereabouts.
His books and reports were turned
over to the committee, and an investi-
cation of them and a comparison of
the money in bank showed him to be
square with the order.
