The statement IN the PoSt-In;siligencer
thar an officer had been sent across Lake
Washington 70 search the house % ex-
Commissioner Hest0n was verified yester-
day when Constable Pike returned 70 the
city empty han5ed.

they may be elected While Mr.. Heaton
was county commissioner, the period OF
redemption. a mortgage on his home hay-
ing been foreclosed expired.
Considerable tight was thrown on the
trouble Ia the sheriffs office through a
statement made last evening 20 a Post-In-
teliigencer reporter by Osca- Springer. Il
explains the absence Of Springer from the
county Jail for six days, and also tends to
show that the entry by which the county
was charged for the time Springer was
abstnt was merely an oversight.
Springer was sentenced to one year In
the penitentiary for an assault with a
deadly weapon on John Watson. When
the trial came Up Watson did not appear.
In fact. he wanted the case dropped, as
he had become convinced that the case
was groundless. The matter was pushed.
however. and Springer was sentenced TO
a year In the penitentiary. Springer's
friends took the matter before Gov. Nc
Graw In the shape of an application for
pardon. Assistant Prosecuting Attor-
ney Wiltshire resisted the application. The
governor cut of the penitentiary clause.
and Springer claims he would have been
pardoned, only that his case went before
the governor as an assault with Intent TO
commit murder. Springer says that the
governor favored the allowance TO him of
privileges that In substance made the

Springer says that when Sheriff Meyer
took office he treated him just as Sheriff
Van de Vanter had done. Springer was
taken sick and did not have money TO go
10 a hospital. He did not want to go to
the county hospital SO he was allowed TO
go home. He was there six days. Spring
er says that when the board bill was
made out in the Jailer's office the amount
OF 40 for the time Springer was absent
was deducted. and the figures put down
on the sheet. but the clerk In the sher-
iff's office did not notice them and sent
Ia the fun amount. AS soon as the err
ror was discovered the sheriff called the
matter TO the attention OF the county
commissioners.

Washington June 3.-The determine
stion of the. Republican Senator's to do no
taiking:if they can help it was more for
chilly shown to-day than Mt any previous
stage Of the debate. The provision for a
rebate on tin plate imported for use in
the export trade, which has been n subject
or contention among Republicans. was
passed over without comment from the
Republican side. The Democrats discussed
iS and commended it, but the Republicans
remained silent and supported the finance
committee without division. The tin plate
rebate has been fought by Representative res
of the tin-plate manufacturers ever since
1t was first inserted in the present law
by the Fifty-thira Congress. 1t was ar
gued that it interferred very seriously
with the protection demanded and grant.
ed this industry, and should be abol-
ished.
The House ways and means'committee,
which framed the Dingley bill, complied
with the wishes OF the tin-plate manufac-
turers and inserted provision that after
the passage of the bill no rebates on tin
plate of any kind should be paid. This

The opponents of this proposition ar
gued that the tin-plate industry was one
of the pets of the Republican party and
that they had every right to foster It,.

emit debate in the Senate began MS n strik-

Senator had declared that it should be
further protected and aided by lcgisla-
ton. The reason why the Republicans
executed change of front was not that
they arc unwilling to give to the tin. plate
manufacturers everything they ask, but
that with regard to the rebate provision
they yielded to a stronger force than the
tin plate men could bring to bear The
exporters of canned gooos insisted that

discussion, alone intervenes. It is now
asserted that the managers of the bill
will prepare an entirely new sugar sched-
uie, but whether it will be presented
when the present schedule is reached or
be passed over until the rest of the bill
has been disposed of has not been an
nounced. Senator Aldrich who was alb

said, prepare the new schedule, and much

BANKRUPTCY LEGISLATION.
The House viii Take No Action
Until Next Winter

Washington, June St Is said to have
been definitely determined. by the Repub-
lican leaders of the House thar there will
be no bankruptcy legislation during this
session of Congress. Some of the West.
ern Republicans, whose constituents are
becoming Impatient at the failure, of the
House to take up the subj ect, have been
Investigating the matter, and have been
informed that the passage of bank
ruptcy bill will not be attempted before
next winter. Representatives. Tawney,
McCleary and MOI ris, all of Minnesota, a
Jew days ago spent day in trying to pur-
suade the leaders of the party that bank.
r,ptcy legislation is necessary. They saw
President Mckinley, Speaker Reed and
Representative Henderson. The latter is
the probable chairman of the judiciary
committee and would have charge of n
bankruptcy bill il it WAS taken up.
presidents Mckinley. it is understood,
informed his visitors that he agreed with
them az to the necessity of bankruptcy
legislation, but refrained from offeri.g
any suggestions rs to what the House of
Representatives should do. He intimated,
however, that in his opinion nothin g
should be done which could in any way
interfere with the passage of the tariff
bill. Mr.. Reed and Mr.. Henderson agreed
in declaring that the present is not an
opportune time to cons ider bankruptcy
legislation. Mr. Reed intimated that as
soon as the tariff bill passes Congress
will adjourn, and that as soon as an adj
jou"nment is in sight he will announce
the House committees. That will give
the members of the judiciary committee
an opportunity to consider bankruptcy
legislation before regular session begins
and enable item to bring in bill at an
early late.
With this information the Minnesota
representatives decided that they could
do nothing to hasten tho passage of the
measure they desire. 1t is understood
the House leaders are not willing to ac-
cept the bill passed by the Senate, and
the passage of any other at this session,
they hold, might lead to complications
which would delay the tariff bill.
