The Administrations Financial Bill De.

| The Administrations Financial Bill De.
feated in the House.
| WASHINGTON, Feb. 8.-The house dis
cussed plans for financial relief three
days and refused by decisive votes te
pass any one of them. When the com
mittee of the whole, at $3.50 o'clock
sions three propositions were reported
to the house for it's action-the original
Springer bill Qznown as the administra-
ton billy for the issue of $500, 900, 00C
per cent. fifty-year gold bonds, as
amended by the committee of the
whole; the substitute proposed by Mr..
Reed authorizing the issue of two
year per cent. certificates Of in.
debtedness to meet current deficiencies
III the revenue and bonds to cover
the deficiency in the gold reserve,
with an amendment proposed by Mr..
Bryan dem, Neb) reafirming the
declaration of the Matthews resolution
of 1878, to the effect that coin obliga-
tions of the government are payable in
standard silver dollars, at it's option;
and the substitute of Mr.. Cox dem,
Tenn, containing rehabilitation of
state banks, with an amendment pro-
posed by Mr.. Cobb (dem., Ala.), ex-
pressly declining to confer the right to
issue bonds upon the secretary of the
treasury.
Mr.. Bryan's amendment was rejected
yeas, 1877; nays, 169, and then Mr..
Reeds substitute went the same way
bv a. vote of 100 To 1877 This was near
ly party vote, the populists and dem
ocrats in opposition and republicans in
favor of the substitute. The amend
ment proposed by Mr.. Cobb to Mr..
Cox's substitute was voted down viva
voce, and the substitute itself received
but IS votes in the affirmative to 1874 in
the negative. Mr.. Cox's request for a
yea and nay vote was not supported by
a sufficient number to secure it.
BY the unexpectedly large vote Of
159 noes and 81 ayes the house, on di-
vision, refused to order the engross-
ment and third reading Of the amended
Springer bill, which announcement was
received with applause. A vote by
yeas and nays somewhat reduced the
majority against the bill, it resulting
yeas, 135; nays, 1852; present and not
voting, 4.
Mr.. Springer, having changed his
vote for that purpose, moved to re-
consider the vote, and that motion, on
motion of Mr.. Hatch dem, No., was
laid on the table-yeas, 1875; nays, 1873
which finally disposed of the matter.

BACK WITH RICH TROPHIES.

: Last spring notice was made in these
columns that Mr.. Henry A. Salzer, of
the John A. Salzer Seed Co., La Crosse.
Wis, Americas leading Seed Growers
and Merchants, was in Europe in search
of rare seeds and novelties for the
American farmer and citizen.
Judging from their new catalogue, his
trip was an eminently successful one.
It is brim full of rare things. Of es-
pecial merit we name the Bismarck
Apple, bearing the second year; the
Giant Towering Star Phlox, the Ger
man Coffee Berry; and for the farmer
the Victoria Rape, Germanica Vetch,
the Lathyrus silvestris, the Giant Spur
ry and Giant 1ncarnate Clover; SAGA
line, and dozens of other rare things.
This wide-awake firm is in the van,
and their catalogue, which is sent you

A LEAP FOR LIFE.
Wonderful Escape from Cremation by
New York Workman.

Wonderful Escape from Cremation by q
New York Workman.
New YORK, Feb. 8.-Tatham Bros.
shot tower, 225 feet high, at No. 81
Beekman street, was badly damaged
by fire Thursday afternoon. It was an
interesting and unusual spectacle and
attracted crowds of spectators from all
over the lower part of the city.
While the flames were making great
Roadway in the lower part of
the tower, Frederick Erickson, 40 years
old, an employee, found himself near
the top of the tower with his retreat
by the stairway cut off. His position
was extremely perilous and he
considered himself doomed. He
looked out of window and
calculated that the distance to the
nearest roof was too great a jump. By
this time the flames had almost reached
the place where he was standing, and,
nerving himself, he sprang through
the flames to the landing below him.
He was unhurt by the jump and at
once jumped to the next floor, again
landing safely. On the next land
ing the flames were very thick,
but the desperate man never
faltered for a minute, and once more
he made leap for life. This time he
fell into a mass of flame, through
which he rushed madly with his cloth
ing on fire to a stairway, down which
he descended to place Of safety.
Help was waiting for him, and after
his burning garments had been torn
from him he was carried down ten
fights of stairs into the street.

The Cling Murder.

MINNEAPOLIS, Feb. 12.-Adry Hay.
ward, brother of the accused, was
placed on the witness stand yesterday
He testified as follows:
Zone day about the middle of last
September Harry came to me and asked
if wanted to make some good money.
I told him I was always ready to make
good money and asked him what his
plan was. He said it was nothing more
nor less than to kill a woman for So, 900.
/ told him I was not in the business of
killing people, and women especially,
and that if | was I would not do it for
such a paltry amount as So, ZOO. Harry
assured me tn it would be the easiest
thing in the world to do, without dan
ger or suspicion"
The matter of the accident policy for
$4,000 taken out by Miss Cling in the
Hartford company was then gone over
and Adry told how Harry had come to
him in rage over the matter.
g Damn herr said he Che hardly ever
swears but he said damn her this time),
'Pll kill her now anyway if never get
cent-such a damn fool as to take out
$500 policy instead of $1,000 one
He said he would make more money out
Of it now anyhow as he would have her
make out notes to him for $4,000.
ION Friday morning he came to me
between 10 and 10 o'clock and said that
Blixt had asked him if it wasn't pretty
near time to sacrifice the dressmaker.
II said: Harry, you are not going to
kill the little, are you?
''He said: Yes, she's got to be the
victim this time
aspect of his intention, told him that he
must not do it, that 1t was terrible to
think of.
''He replied that she had lived long
enough, and then told him that if he
did not drop the idea I would report
him, and that just as surely as he killed
the girl he would hang for it.
Fifteen or twenty minutes to on
Dec. 8, Harry came to my fiat and asked
for IS, which l gave to him, and he told
me | had better go to the theater. l
asked him why, He said something
was liable to happen; that it must be
done; that he had no time; was in a
hurry. He threw his hands about in an
excited manner and said: Go away,
don't bother me; don't be fool, but

MILWAUKEE, Feb. 9.-Three men, en-

on Lake Michigan. The boat Foley,
which cruised about in search of the
unfortunates for several hours, has re-
turned without having seen trace of
them, and there is scanty hope that
any of the men have managed to reach
point of safety.
The names of the men lost are as fol-
lows: S Stayner, of Chicago; Tom
Anderson, of Milwaukee; John Brown,
of Port Huron, Mich. Although the
fireboat cruised about for distance of
IL miles, not trace of the men was
discovered, and there is not one chance
in thousand that they are living.

Asiatic Criminals.

The worst feature of the Asiatic
criminal is his vindictiveness. To plot
against the life. of one who has done
his best to compass your fall, who has
dishonored wife or daughter, or lain in
wait for son; to shoot grasping
landlord and knock land agent on
the head-these sort of episodes are IA
miliar enough in British annals of
crime. But in his thirst for revenge
the Asiatic will sacrifice himself, his
wife, his child, his unoffending neigh
Dor, if he can only get up case
against a rival. Human life for him
has no sanctity. If the native police
man ought to discover a human body
in the premises of his deadly foe, with
clothes and ornaments, any one may
be sacrificed to supply the corpus de-
licti.- Saturday Review.
