All Europe Does IL.

When such a work rs that is condemned
as infamy, he said, against which the mem
DRY OF Mr.. Dingley ought TO be defended,
he could not see the restraint OF conscience
to stand in the senate and say there is
nothing infamous about It. 1T is the
scheme" he continued, that is in practice
in every government in Europe"

rise in the senate TO defend Mr.. Dingleyis

made. where" be asked, lis the advocate

M reciprocity provision in the Dingley
act was as distinctly a part OF the tariff
policy of the United States as the coal
schedule.
More violence had been done to the pro-
tective system by the stolin. quiet. uncom-
municRtive failure of the senate to take
action upon the reciprocity treaties than
by all the noise thai had been made by the
democrats about coal. Il do not intend to
SIT quietly in this chamber" &c declared,
while Il is said to be infamous that any
body should have CHANGED TO entertain the
notion that a tariff schedule once framed
could not be honorably modified by sensible
negotiations. II remains a reproaeh TO the
congress he said, that not one line OF
the wisdom Of James G. Blaine remains
on the statute book and not onR attempt
has been made to fulfill the purpose and
spirit Of the late Buffalo address of Presi-
dent Mckinley"
Mr.. Aldrieh OR. l. replied to Mr.. DoIliver,
saying hat IL would be better for the mem
DRY Of the man who negotiated the recipro-
city treaties, Mr.. Kasson. IL they were
passed over in silence and never acted on.
He declared that the intention Of the reci-
procity section Of the Dingley act was to
make agreements upon non-competitive
products. He never expected that a repub-
iican administration would negotiate
treaties which struck al the heart OF pro-
lection, which was the bulwArk OF re-
publicanism.
Mr.. TinmAn Is. c. gave notice that he
would tomorrow speak on the coal situa-
ton and would put the blame for the
present deplorRble condition where II be-
longed, upon the president Of the United
States and his attorney general"

over until tomorrow and the omnibus state
hood bill was taken up. At 4:le the senate
went into executive session and shortly
afterward adjourned.

II IL quite necessary that mining

opportunity to study minerals, and
oftimes does knowledge of

DEATH WATCH DOUBLED.

Carson News: This morning Sheriff
Lamb of Humboldt county and dep
uties brought in the four condemned
murders from Winnemucca, and they
were turned over to Warden Consi-
dine for safe keeping until the 5th
day of February, upon which day,
if the courts do not intervene in the
meantime, the quartette will be exc
euted within the walls of the state
penitentiary near this city.
After argument for new trial con-
suming two days Judge Bonnifield de-
MED the application for new trial
and sentenced the four men convicted
of the brutal murder of Jack Welch,
as above stated. Two of them have
bad records for prior conviction. They
were brought in heavily ironed at
wrist and ankle, and assume stoical
attitude. The officers will return to
Humboldt county this evening.
The four men have been put in
proper cells at the state prison and
the death watch force doubled, now
comprising six men.

THE NEWS FROM

that she underwent an operation for
appendicitis yesterday, the operation
being successfully performed at the
st. Marks hospital in Salt Lake City.
A telegram received by Mr.. Carly last
night stated that she was resting well
and that the indications were all fav-
orable for her recovery at an early
date. The hospital physician stated
chat she would be able to return home
in two or three weeks. Mrs. Carty
has been a sufferer from the trouble
that made the operation necessary for
nearly two years and it is hoped mat
the relief will be permanent.
Deputy Sheriff Muller returned on
No this morning from Carson, Sher-
If Lamb having stopped off in Love-
lock. Charlie states that Roberts,
5evner. German and Williams landed
in the state prison without incident
or trouble. They were at once given
a bath and clothed in the striped
suits, then placed in separate cells,
and each provided with death
watch. All four were seemingly in
the best of spirits, but they objected
vigorously to the attention they at
tracted in Reno and Carson. At both
OF these places the interest in the
men and the crime for which they
were sentenced seemed greater than
here in Winnemueca, and when the
train left Reno for Carson yesterday
morning there were at the least cal
culation 5000 people at the depot,
trying to get a look at the prisoners.

All Coming to Light in One
Day at RenO, Caused a
Sensation
THE CORONER Is KEPT BUSY
One Self Destroyer Shot Him.
self, the Other Took Corrosive
SubIimate

The present week has been made a
memorable one in Reno by the finding
OF two suicides and the body of an
other man who had evidently been
murdered some time ago. The Gazette
OF yesterday evening gives the fol-
lowing accounts of the discoveries.
The first suicide, W. C. Hildebrandt,
was until recently a successful mer-
chant of Roseburg, Oregon:
Tired of life and discouraged by
business reverses w. c. Hildebrandt,
Jr., prominent merchant of little
Oregon town, committed suicide in
this city last night by shooting him
self
The deceased came to this city a
few days ago to visit his parents, W.
C. Hildebrandt, proprietor of the Nov
city Dry Goods Store, on Second
street. He was apparently in good
health and cheerful at all times. Yes
terday he was about as usual anus
ing himself visiting the points of in
terest in and about Reno. Last night
he retired at an early hour at his
fathers house on Second street near
West street.
The report of the gun was not heard
but as the body was cold when found
it is a certainty that the deed was
done early in the evening. At an early
hour this morning the door was op-
ened as there was no response to a
call, and lying on the bed in pool
of blood lay the young man with a
revolver beside him. One chamber
of the cylinder was empty and bull
let hole in his right temple told the
story. The ball had entered on the
side of the head and passed through
the brain, shattering the bones of lne
skull over the Tempe.
There was no word left behind ex-
planning the reason for the act anC
the only cause that can be given is
recent business reverse which caused
temporary insanity. The father is al
most distracted with grief and refus
ed to be comforted. The deceased
was a native of Oregon and leaves
wife.

STRONG EVIDENCE OF MURDER.
The decomposed body of a man was
found this afternoon in the Sullivan
Kelley ditch between this city and
the Winfrey ranch. The condition OF
the remains indicates that the man
had been murdered. So far as could
be told his skull had been crushed.
but the advanced stage of deeomposi-
ton renders a post mortem examina-
ton necessary before this can be es-
tablished. The most fearful feature
of the case is that the mans legs
were bound with a heavy rope and
been found as yet to disclose his
identity and the officers are complete
ly at sea with respect to the crime.
The case was found and reported
to the local police by an Italian liv-
ing in the vicinity and Immediately
the officers, Coroner Updike and the
uEdertakers hurried to the scene.
Lying in two feet of water, with
collected brush almost concealing the
body, they found the victim. He was
lying on his left side with the right
hand outstretched towards the bank
and from indications the body had
been in the water about a month. II
was in an advanced stage of decompo-
sition The skin and flesh was drop
ping away from the bones and the
face was bioated to several times its
natural size. 1t is impossible to iden-
tIfy the countenance.
The mysterious part and that which
points to foul play, is the fact that
the legs of the unfortunate were
bound together and the left hand tied
securely to the knees. The back OF
the head looked as if it had been
crushed with a rock and the under
takers are of this opinion.
The theory of the officers is that
the man was murdered in the vicinity
OF Chinatown and thrown into the
ditch.
The deceased was a man of large
physique, probably weighing one hun
dled and eighty younds. He had dark
hair and apparently was laborer as
he wore overalls, a black soft shirt,
and coat of ordinary texture. Cater
shoes were on his feet, about a size
ten. There were no papers to inden-
! tify the victim.

TOOK CORROSIVE sUBLIMATE

TOOK CORROSIVE SUBLIMATE
H. c. Donald, mining man, COM
mitted suicide in the Overland hotel
by taking corrosive sublimate in a
glass of water. The body was found
fully twenty-four hours afterwards by
a servant in the house.
Donald came to Reno several days
ago from Tonopah and took apart
ments at the hotel. He was in a most
agreeable mood and made many
friends around the hotel. Monday af-
ternoon he approached Clerk Watson
saying that he intended to take
rest and did not wish to be disturbed.
He retired and was not seen again be-
fore his death. Upon entering the
room he removed his coat and vest,
took the poison from a paper, and
mixed it in a glass of water, stirring
i. with a lead pencil. He drank the
deadly draft and then lay upon the
bed. In his death struggle he must
have suffered untold agonies as MS
tongue was bitten where he haa
closed his teeth upon it.
Tuesday morning a chamber malo
opened the door, but seeing a reclin-
ing form closed it again. The room
was again visited in the Afternoon
and the occupant was still apparently
asleep.
This morning the body was exactly
in the same position, lying haf OF
the side with the back of the head Z
the door. Realizing that somethin'
was wrong, Mr.. Sadlier was called an'
he entered the room. to find the SUI
eide.
The face was greatly diseolore'
from the poison and the body showe'
evidences of death agonies.
Among the effects of the decease
was a note book showing that NJ
home is in Sonora, California, and
survived by a wife and child.

pockets of his clothes and member

will take an acting part in which her
popularity will, no doubt, be inereas-

last opportunity to see a good enter

and if the sale of seats may be taken
as an indication, the hall will be
