ential. 1t is the Jones amendment,
except that this amendment provided
for only 80 per cent.
The idea of the Democratic members
of the committee is that this rate would
furnish sufficient revenue withoug CIV.
ing the sugar trust any advantage. The
coal bill was so amended as to provide
for reciprocity on this article by the
admission free of duty coal imported
from countries which admit coal from
this country free. Coal imported
from countries imposing duty on our
coal is to be made dutiable at the rate
existing when this bill shall go into
effect
The amendment to the barbed wire
bill provides for the free admission of
barbed wire and all other fencing wire,
and the rods from which they are made.
The free iron bill was not amended.
The Republican members of the com.
mittee offered amendments of their own
to the bill. One of the amendments
offered was that presented in the senate
by Senator Hill for the repeal of the
income tax. They also sought to have
the revenue duty supplanted by pro-
vision for free sugar with a bounty.
They voted solidly against the bills, but
did not seek to delay the report upon
them.
Senator White attended the commits
tee meeting for the first time and acted
in perfect harmony with the older DEM
ocratic members thereof.
The senate adjourned until Wednes.
day after an executive session lasting
twenty minutes.

Only Fifty Members Were Present
TODAY

1Ouay.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 2O.-Less than
fifty members were present when the
house met at II o'clock today. There
were the usual indications that congress

unanimous consent for the passage of
the bills of local interest to them.
Mr.. SayreS, chairman of the appropri-

DIVES RAN UNTAXED.
MEMPHIS DEFRAUDED OFT or
MILLIONS.
The Discovery Leads to Wholesale
indictments Against En-.
Officials.

MEMPHIS. Tenn, Aug. 20.-The Mem
phis grand jury has unearthed frauds of
gigantic proportions. Through the
criminal carelessness and neglect of the
county officials the state and county
have been defrauded out of nearly two
million dollars in revenue during the
past eight years. The grand Jury be-
gan an investigation a few days ago.
and discovered that nearly six hundred
saloons and several other firms, en-
bracing almost every branch of business,
had not paid cent in taxes and prigi-
leges or licenses in eight years. The
jury made partial report of its work
to the criminal court today. and as a re-
suit SIS indictments have been returned
against the delinquents. The inyesti-
CATION will be continued, and it is
said the jury will next turn
its attention to the derelict Of
fclals. Under the statute they can
be indicted for every case where they
failed to collect taxes and licenses.
The investigation is the result of
change in the Office of criminal Judge.
Judge L, P. Cooper has announced that
he intends 10 enforce the law 10 the let
ter, and every person convicted will bs
punished. The disclosures have created
a sensation. The citizens are organiz-
ing to aid the criminal court in bringing
in the delinQuentS to justice. The
county has been hard pressed for money
Tor several years to meet necessary eX-
penSes, and it was only short time ago
that bonds were issued to raise money
to repair the court house. Had tho
officials done their duty the county
would have had a large surplus instead
OF being borrower.

FLIM-FLAMMED THE GROCER
Two Crooks Grab the Change,
Also the $50 Bill.

Two Crooks Grab the Change,
Also the $50 Bill.
George Wilson, alias Frank West, is
locked up at the central police station
in company with one t. Putnam, charged
with larceny. Wilson worked finn
fam game at Bergeman's grocery store
on ST. Peter street, between Seventh
and Ninth. Last Saturday evening he
entered the store and called for TWO
boxes of sardInes. He handed the clerk
a $50 bill, and was given a quantity of
silver in change. To this Wilson made
some objections. saying that he did not
care to carry that much silver. He took
out a 81 bill. and said he guessed he
would rather keep the large BILL At
that moment another man entered the
place, supposed to be Putnam, and
called for some trifle, saying that he
was in great hurry and desired to be
waited on at once. This the unwary
grocer did, and in the meantime Wilson
grabbed the change from the counter
and his $50 bill as we'll, and made bolt
for the door. Complaint was made to
the police, and description of the man
furnished, as result of which De-
tectives Horan and DAILY arrested Wilson
yesterday morning. Later in the day
Putnam was run in under suspicion of
being confederate, aud he VIII be held
for further investigation.

intents and purposes, and they include
IN this the making of speeches as we'll
as passing of bills. Today from the
time the senate met until it went into
executive session, Senator Lindsay, of
Kentucky, was ready to make speech.
The Kentucky senator desires to defend
the action of the senate finance COM
mittee and the Democratic senators who
supported them. 1t is also understood
that Senator Allison, OF Iowa, was
ready to make q speech of some length
on the present status of tariff legislation.
1t is possible that both of these speeches
will be made Dy the courtesy of the
senate, although the Republicans said
today that no speeches would be made
and that the interdict against any more
business included also speeches. Some
of the Democrats assert, however, that
If any attempt is made to prevent the
speeches on the Democratic side a
quorum of the senate will be recalled
under duress by the sergeant-at-arms.
On the Republican side it is claimed
that the tariff debate as we'll as the
tariff legislation is closed.
This may lead to some ugly feeting if
insisted upon. If Senator Lindsay
should get the floor he could not be in
terrupted by points of no quorum, as he
could not be taken off the floor without
his consent; but whenever the attempt
is made to call up the resolution upon
which he is to speak the point can be
made, and the present, indications are
that when the senate meets again there
will not be quorum present as num-
ber of senators intend leaving before
Wednesday.
Senator Harris has given notice that
Immediately after the reading of the
Journal on Wednesday he will move an
executive session. This is in the in
terest of Judge Porter, of Tennessee,
whom he desires to have confirmed. If
there is objection In executive session
sufficient to cause the point of no quo
rum to be made, it will result in carry
ing over the nomination till after ad-
iournment.

this session, he would offer an amend
ment re-enacting the wool schedule of
1890. The two bills placing coal and
iron ore on the free list were ordered
placed on the calandar. The senate
went into executive session, but owing
to the absence Of quorum, adjourned
until Wednesday.
Mr.. Allison stated that the free
barbed wire bill does not provide for
free barbed wire at all, as it places a
duty upon the manufactured article,
while admitting the material free. He
reminded the senate that the Wilson
bill provided for 25 per cent ad valo-
rem duty on barb ed wire, but the SEN
ate had reduced 1t.
MIR: Aldrich and other Republican
members of the finance committee denied
that the substitute bill just reported
was by the unanimous vote of the COM
mittee. as it had been opposed by all
the Republican members. The house
had desired to put barOed wire OH the
free list to benefit the farmers, but In
its haste 1t had done just the opposite.
The house bill to provide national
home for aged and infirm colored peo-
pie went over till the next session.
The senate bill to push the claim of
the United States against the estate of
Leland Stanford was passed.

THAT A DUMMY WAS BURIED.
The Story Is. a Rank Fake.
Emenating From a Sem
sation Monger.
NOT A FOUNDATION FOR IT.
Ehle Aliens Body Was Viewed
by Hundreds Who Knew
Him Well.

Jhere IS weird story going the
ROUNDS OF the press Of the United States
that Ehle Allen did not suicide but
that the body found In the cottage at
Miahetonka was dummy, and that
Ghle Allen is luxurialing in Europe.
Inc story has not the slightest founda-
Ion; II is the mere creation of the i'm.
aglnatlon OF some sensation monger.
probably of the newspaper field. Likely
as any way the fake was promulgated
Dy one of two well known takers of the
Twin Cities.
ne TACT of the matter is that the re-
mains of Ehle Allen were viewed by
hundreds of ST. Paul people who knew
him well in life. There is no possibiI-
ltY OF mistake in the case.
As sample of the publications in
leading papers in New York. Boston
and hundreds of other cities, the fol-
lowing Is quoted from the Telegram. of
Portland, Or:
Now the report comes from persons in
the circles of the knowing ones that
Ehle Allen is alive, in good health and
residing i'll Paris. The story has it that
the body found In the cottage at Lake
M!nnetonka was that OF dummy, Sc.
cured for the purpose.
1t is said that few days previous to
the supposed suicide of Allen exchange
on Paris was purchased by friends of
Allen, and that transportation was Sc
cured for him, by means of which he
was enabled to escape while the atten-
ton of the public and officers was turned
to the report of his suicide. The matter
has not been sitted sufficiently for all
the details TO be known; but there is
said to De no doubt of Aliens presence
in Paris, where, it is claimed, he has
been seen by numerous of his former
acQuaintances. There have been very
few parallel cases, and the prominence
OF the parties and widespread attention
attracted by the killing CT Clapp and
reported suicide of Allen, give it an
additional interest.

and have three children, of whom she
desires the custody. She asks to be
given the homestead and household
effects, located at 73 West George street,
valued at $4,000. Mrs. Hurd alleges
that the doctor began to abuse mel the
first year of their ia ,ried life, and that
his conduct has become intensified
every year, so that her health has been
impaired. She accuses him of striking
her, bruising her face and body, twist
ing her arms. dragging her over the
floor by the hair. kicking her, applying
vile and indecent epithets to her and
charging want of chastity. In the first
year of their marriage she says he
twisted her wrist so as to fracture a
small bone, and afterwards twisted it
again so as to cause a deformity. On
May 10 last, she says, he knocked her
down and kicked her face and body. On
July7 he fired revolver at her. knocked
her down and kicked her face and body.
She says that he has $4,000 worth of
personal property and an income of
$4,000 per annum. She asks for main
tenance and for means to educate the
children.
AN application was made by Mrs.
Hurd to Judge Willis yesterday to
make an order for temporary alimony
and suit money, but the proceeding was
dismissed for want of sufficient notice
giving the court jurisdiction to hear the
matter.
In the action begun by DR.. Hurd
against his wife for divorce. hearing
will be had today on similar applica-
fion for aliinony made by Mrs. Hurd.
In his suit for divorce the husband
charges his wife with neglecting home
duties. with unchaste demeanor and
associating with iewG persons, and with
abusive treatment of him and the chill
dren. The wife has filed an answer in
this action denying charges of specific
character, and seeking to explain her
conduct on the night that she was in a
carriage with three others, and the time
the doctor shot at her.

RECEIVER. IS CONTINUED,
And Affairs Of the Company
Are to Be Thoroughly
Looked Into.

NEW YORK. Aug. 2O.-Inthe United
States circuit court today Judge La
combe made an order continuing Albert
X. Ledoux as the receiver of the Harney
Peak Tin and Mining company until
final hearing of the case. MIR. Ledoux
was recently appointed receiver by
Judge Lacombe on the application of
Charles Fletcher and number of other
Englishmen, who charged that the Of
fcers of the company, chief among
whom was Samuel Untermeyer, he'd
been guilty of sharp practices. Tia
Engllshmen ayerred they had been
cheated out of e3,000,G00 and upwards.
Ihe receiver was appointed secretly, so
that he could get hold of the books of
the country before its officers knew of
the proceeding. An application was
then made for the removal of the re-
celver. Judge I4acombe denied this ap-
plication.
In making the order for the continu-
ance OF the receiver, Judge Lacombe
says: "From such facts rs are ad-
mltted by the defendants or are averred
in the bill for atfidayiIs and not denied,
and from documents put in evidence,
the genuiness of which is not disputed,
1t is reasonable to infer that complain
ants will be able to prove at final hear
ing that the second mortgage of 1880.
GOO, issued ostensbly for the acquisition
of further properties and a cash ad-
vance to the company, was really put
upon the property of the corporation in
order to effect the sale of so much of the
stock as was held by syndicate COM
prlSlng a majority of the board of
trustees. That by such sale, which. but
for the creating of this new mortgage,
apparently could not be carried out,
they obtained in exchange for their
stock not only nine-tenths of the new
bonds, but also large sum, s4OO. 900 in
securities, of another corporation.n

titution Among Strikers.
CHICAGO, Aug. 20. - Gov. Altgeld
went to Pullman today to Investigate the
condition of the Pullman strikers His
visit was the result of communication
sent TO him from the strikers stating
that sixteen hundred families are near
to starvation. The governor previous
he should take, but it was generally be-
lieved by the strikes that they would
receive immediate assistance.
Vice President Wickes, of the Pull
man company, called upon Gov. Altgeld
at the latter's office aud offered to ac-
company the executive on his trip to
Pullman. The governor received Mr..
Wickes very coldly, and in a manner
which was construed as a direct snub
informed the latter that he did not wish
to 90 with him. 81 prefer to go Alone"
said the governor. ~ think can tiud

Mr.. Wlckes departed apparently
highly indignant. The governor made
personal investigation of several cases
OF destitution, and found that the story
of practical starvation had not been
greatly oyerdrawn. After the investi-
EdblOu lu6 SOVGIHUI dSheu MdHaSer
Middleton, of the Pullman company, if
he could suggest any solution to the
condition of destitution and starvation,
the existence of which all of the resi-
dent officials had admitted.
1.-The only thing we can do" was the
answer, lis to put the old men back as
fast as there are vacancies in the
shops"
But that process is slow and uncer-
tain," replied Gov. Altgeld, land the
question is one of immediate starvation.
Can't you put on a few hundred of the
men and let them alternate until this
condition of misery is relIeved?"
Mr.. Middleton said he did nos see how
the company could change its present
plans.
The governor said it was the first time
he had ever beel asked for aid to help
starving people and he wanted to think
it over. He will see the relief commit
tee of the Pullman strikers tomorrow,
and ways and means of assisting suffer-
ing will be discussed. In all proba-
bility the meeting will bear fruits In
proclamation calling upon the people of
the state for help.

the due bills were of denominations less
