A TEXAN WITH A BOWIE.
Mr.. HutchesOn Threatens to Slash
Colonel Bright's Throat.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, April 2.-On the day Of
the Vance obsequies a tragedy mar
rowly averted in the north wing of the
Capitol, and two well-known men in pub
lie life, Sergeant-at-arms Bright, of the
Senate, and Representative Hutchinson, of
Texas, came very near engaging in an al
tercation that would probably have re-
suited fatally The difference arose over
the absurd and Objectionable rule that the
elevator in the northwest wing OF the Cap
tol shall be reserved exclusively for the
use of Senators. An unusual amount of
friction has been caused by this rule. but
up to the date mentioned no disturbance Of
any consequence was caused. On the day
of the funeral, however, Representative
Hutchinson strolled over to the Senate and,
after the services in the Senate were con-
cIuded, he went to the Exclusively re-
served elevator and pushed the button
until it jingled madly. The car passed him
several times, however, on up and down
trips but made no stop. This angered
him. and when the car finally stopped he
began to tell the elevator conductor what
he thought of his actions in language pure
~ Texan in character. The elevator man
began to explain the peculiar regulations
of the Senate. when Sergeant-at- arms
Bright came up and ordered Hutchinson
away from the elevator.
Let that man go about his business
and you go about yours" Mr.. Bright is
reported TO have said.
What have you got to do with it?' de-
manded Hutchinson. go
''I'll show you what I've got to do with
it, I'll have you arrested If you don't be-
have yourself" said Colonel Bright, with
a show of anger.
Things were becoming very warm at this
time. Two very bad men were facing each
other with glittering eyes and rather
nervous respiration. Both were getting
very angry, and trouble hung about as
thick as fog in London on a rainy day.
eff you attempt to have me arrested,
remarked Mr. Hutchinson, with suppressed
excitement there will be two funerals
here to-day. I'll cut your throat"
Colonel Bright at once turned to the OIL
Ger standing near. and said: Put that
man under arrest
II can't do it. sir he said. This gen.
tlernan is a member"
''That makes no difference" said Col.
Bright You do as / say
At this both men reached back.
Don't draw me- said Colonel
Bright, "and give up that weapon"
place your hand on me and you will
get it across your throat" said Mr..
words.
Colonel Bright at this entered the ele-
vator and shot down toward the basement,
while Mr.. Hutchinson turned away and
walked back TO the House

"SQUEAL" FROM VOORHEES,.
Thinks He Has Been UnjustIy AS
sailed for His Tariff Bill work.

WASHINGTON, April Ex-senator Voor-
bees has written long letter to John B.
Stol editor of the South Bend Qnd.) Times,
in which he says that he has for several
months worked day and night for the best
interests of the country at large, and that
now 1t seems he is being assailed in certain
quarters for all that is done or left un-
done by the Senate of an unsatisfactory
character on the subject of the tariff. He
says:
There are several features in the bill
now pending in the Senate which did not
desire to have in ii, but because l was
overruled on these points, L did not, there
fore feel at liberty to Join the Republican
members of the committee, report no bill,
defeat all proposed legislation, and thereby
leave the Mckinley law remain on our
statute books. The bill reduces nearly ST.
Oo0,0oo, one-third of that amount oeing taken
off the wearing apparel of the people.
fought hard against anything being put on
sugar, coal or iron, but a Democratic
caucus opposed it, and | came to a con-
cluson that it was my duty to the labor
ing masses of the country to support the
bill as it now stands. and to make sure
of the immense reduction IL guarantees,
than to continue the fight
IF l have made mistake IN the dis
charge of my duties, 1t Is IN oehevins tne
bill as reported is preferable. TO the obi
Gus Mckinley bill. But l think much is
being said and written now in absolute
ignorance Of what the Senate bill, as well
ing could be further from my wish or pur-
pose than to say word In criticism OF
the Wilson BILL but at the same time
am hardly willing to be dubbed to death
or read out Of the Democratic party IN the
name of the Wilson bill by those who are
totally ignorant of its most important pro-
visions.
THE imperious demand that the Senate
pass the bill is n burlesque on common
sense No intelligent man knows that the
bill would not go through without amend
ments. Strange as it may appear. as it
passed the House. it would create a de-
fciency for the year 1895 for more than
s27 COO, 600 Rather than knowingly and
consciously secure the passage of bill
which aimed 10 provide revenue for the
government, but really provided for "a de-
ficency and a consequent Increase of our
interest-bearing bond debt, 1 would glad
ly leave my seat in the Senate and hide
myself forever as far as possible from pub
lie disgrace.
He closes by saying that he had not cher
ished the slightest resentment against any
persons for what they have said. and that.

stand upon If the end Of his career is close

RUN on A BANK.
Between $4,000 and 100000 Drawn
Out of the Sherman, of New York.

NEW YORK, April PA quiet but per-
sistent run on the Sherman Bank continued
throughout to-day. Between $4,000 and
100000 was paid out. President William
Strong of the Central National Bank, had
a consultation with the directors, lasting
two hours, at the close of which he an
nounced positively that his bank would not
clear for the Sherman Bank. Late in the
afternoon the directors gave out the fol-
lowing statement for publication: 1.-The
bank will pay all depositOrs in full as fast
as payment is asked. The directors have
resolved to personally furnish whatever
funds may be necessary TO meet all de-
mands as they are made. There is no
question of the bank having an abundance
of good assets to pay creditors in full and
still leave the banks capital unimpaired.
The bank will continue business as before,
excepting no further deposits Will be re-
ceived pending the examination row in
progress by the bank examiner and his re-

SEYMOUR, Ind, April 21-The press re-
ports which have been sent out from this
city in regard TO the serious afliction of
Congressman Jason b. Brown have been
greatly exaggerated. In order to get the
facts call was made on the Congress-
man, tonight at hts coy home on Third
street this city. Mr. Brown was seated in
an easy chair reading an evening paper,
surrounded by his family, consisting of his
wife and daughter. Miss Maggie. Mr.
Brown seemed in good spirits. and readily
answered the following questions PROFOUND
ed by the correspondent:
What have you to say in regard to the
interview with Mr.. Stockslager, as pub
lished in this mornings Journal?"
II have nothing TO say respecting any
thing Stockslager may say concerning the
congressional campaign in this district
During my entire service in Congress
Stockslager has lived in Washington. l have
recommended numerous friends of his for
office, as we'll as himself, and the reason
he is now running for Congress is because
he was unfortunate in not getting a place
under the administration"
What effect will the Coxey movement
have on Congress-
I'm my opinion, it will have no effect
whatever. The authorities at Washington
will take care of Coxey and his visitors,
and see that no injury comes to any one
because Of this insane movement"
What will be the final result of the VIII
son bill?'
II think the Senate will pass the bill
substantially reported by the Senate
committee The whole matter will then be
thrown into the hands of a conference
committee of the two houses, and a COM
promise will be reached. This will be the
bill finally passed
''Will you continue the canvass for a re-
nomination, or is your health so impaired

feated the Republican party at the first

prised at his accepting the nomination. AT
last nights meeting of the city Demo-

when the following message from Mayor
Brady was read:
IS. NJ. Shafer Chairman Democratic City
Committee:
Dear Sir-An untimely accident which
occurred last Sunday has kept me confined
TO my home continuously from that day to
this, with single exception l am still
unable to walk with comfort and my ply

risk of serious injury to myself. The pres
ent city campaign will be snort. But twelve
days remain in which the work must be
done. The candidate for Mayor of our
party should be able to personally can
vass the. city. He should see in person
the people whose suffrageS he asks. He
should also participate personally in the
important work of organization. Neither
of these duties do l see any prospect of
being able efficiently 10 perform. Under
the circumstances, l think justice to our
party and to the other candidates de-
mands that l resign a candidate and
leave you free TO put on the ticket some
man whose physical disability will not be
a bar to the party's interests l therefore
tender this my resignation as Demo-
cratic candidate for Mayor.

To some members of the committee the
message like throwing n dynamite
bomb into the meeting. An effort was at
once made 10 find timber to fill the va
cancy. but it was not possible, and, after
a long time spent in parleying, the meet
ing adjourned, leaving the ticket headless.
Tonight the Democratic city committee
met again to select a man to fill the va
cancy made by the resignation of Mayor
Brady as candidate for reelection. After
sixty-four ballots selection was male
and the ticket is still without a head The
candidates anxious to lead the ticket were

MIR. Hepburn Threatens to .RetaIiate

WASHINGTON, April 21.-The session of
the House was exceedingly dull to-day. The
only feature was the announcement of Mr..
Hepburn, OF Iowa, that he proposed in the
future to retaliate upon the Democrats for
blocking pension legislation at the Friday
night sessions by refusing all requests in
the House for the passage Of bills by unani-
nous consent. AS all the members have
a greater or less number OF small bills to
pass in this way Mr.. Hepburn's announce
ment caused quite a furry. About an hour
was spent in the further consideration of
the diplomatic and consular bill, and, after
2 o'clock, by special order. the day was de-
voted to eulogies on the late Senator Glib
