United States and the Philippines.
The remainder of the session was
taken up in the discussion of the
general deficiency appropriation as
amended by the senate. One of the
amendments provided for carriages
for the vice president and the speak
er and these provisions were disa-
greed to.
Beginning it's consideration of the
conference report on the tariff bill by
the tedious reading of that document
which was insisted upon by senator's
who hoped to see that undue haste is
not exercised in the final passage of
the measure, the senate dragged along
during nearly seven hours today
without accomplishing any important
result.
Numerous conferences were held on
both sides of the chamber. Develop
ments in respect to the framing of the
leather schedule in conference called
forth. more interest than did the pro-
ceedings of the day. Senators fully
discussed the language and effect of
the schedule, The debate was opened
by Senator Daniel, who declared that
the Democratic senators on the
finance committee had been dealt
with unfairly in not being permitted
to vote on the adoption of the report.
He claimed that an agreement for that
purpose entered into by the chairman,
Mr. Aldrich, had been violated. Any
Intentional violation was disavowed
by Mr.. Aldrich, who said that he could
not agree with Mr.. Daniel as to what
had occurred between them.
Senator Bristow denounced the
tariff bill as an evasion Of Republican
pledges and announced that he would
not vote for it.
In order to fix responsibility for the
two parties in the passage of the bill
and for framing it's several schedules,
Senator Bacon presented an analysis
Of the 1877 yea and nay votes that
had been taken during its considera-
ton. This list of votes the senate
agreed to print in the record.

LOUISVILLE Is Mourning
the Death of Rulhan1
Heydler of Cincinnati Is Named to
Succeed Magnate as President
of National League

OUlSVILLE, KY, Aug. 2.-ThO
body of Harry Clay Pulliam, late
president of the National league,
was brought back this morning to
Louisville, the city which he had called
home" and from which he departed
twelve years ago to begin the rapid
climb which landed him at the top in
the baseball world. The coffin was
taken to the chapel of an undertaking
establishment there to be viewed by
a great number of friends.
1t is doubtful if any man in official
or public life had more friends in
Louisville than Mr.. Pulliam. Humble
printers and employees about the Of
fees of the daily newspapers, the
friends of his youth, never failed to
receive a call and a pleasant word
from him whenever he passed through
Louisville. In consequence the for
lists have been literally swamped with
orders from persons in all conditions
of life desirous of paying last trib-
ute to man who did not forget his
friends.

was taken to the chapel at Cavehill
cemetery where a simple funeral SER
vice was conducted by Rev. E. M,
Halves, pastor of the Highland Pres
byterian church. Among the honorary
pallbearers were B. B. Johnson, pres
ident of the American league; J. A.
Heydler, secretary of the National
league; John e. Bruce, secretary of
the National baseball commissioners;
E. F. Dreyfus of the Philadelphia
club, A. B. Robinson of the st. Louis
club, John Dovey of the Boston club
and a number of men prominent in
Louisville affairs.
Little more than an hour after Har
ry G. Pulliam, late president of the
National Baseball league had been
buried today, John Heydler of Cincin-
natl, secretary of the league, had
been chosen president in his place at
a special meeting of the directors.
There was some feeling, of which
President Chas. w. Murphy of the
Chicago team was spogesman, that
it was indelicate to name Mr.. Pull

GETS NINETY DAYS
FOR PETTY Theft
Plaintiff Had Naturally Sticky Fingers
and VIII Spend Three Months
in the Jail.

There is another boarder up at
Sheriff Orrick's popular hostelry at
the corner of Twenty-seventh and
Fourth avenue north, for yesterday
morning Alfred Ladt was sentenced
by Judge Mann for a term of 80 days
for petty larceny. Ladt was convict
ed of stealing few razors and other
brands of hardware from store.
Ladt has appeared before the court
before, having been convicted of
stealing suit case and he has the
reputation of being possessed of fin
gers that are naturally stick. For
this reason, and it not being his first
offense, Judge Mann made the pen
atty a trife strong in an attempt to
convince Ladt that he could not carry
on a petty larceny business in this
city with any degree of success.

JURY REPORTS
ON TWO CASES
Acting Coroner Mann Holds InQuests
Into Deaths of Mrs. PerciVal
and C. s. Murry.
BLAME WAS NOT FIXED
Robert Miller, Elevator Boy at Sta.
DletOn Block, ExOnerated.-Murry's
Death Due to Excess of IntOxicants
and Morphine.

A coroner's jury, consisting of f.
A. Bower, George Fl. Hubbard, w. F.
Snyder. George Gordon, ]. M. Ram
sey and Ben Radcliffe and under the
direction of Acting Coroner Mann, sat
yesterday upon the two cases of sud-
den death which occurred in this city
Saturday.
The verdict in the inquest of M.
Ellis Percival, the nurse VINO was
killed early Saturday morning in the
elevator shaft of the Stapleton block,
was that M. Ellis Percival came to
her death by being crushed in an ell
evator in the Stapleton block in Bill
ings, Mont" 1t is said that several
of the jurors wished to add that her
death was due to her own careless
ness" but the motion could not carry.
Mrs. Percival's body is now lying at
the undertaking parlors of the Settler
company, and the funeral service will
be held this morning at II o'clock
from the Settler chapel.
The verdict in the Murry case was
"that c. ]. Murry came to his death
by overindulgence in morphine and
alcohol" Previous to the inquest DIR.
Lindsey performed an autopsy upon
the remains of Murry and found that
the mans death was chiefly due to
acute alcoholism. 1t is probable that
Murry did not take the morphine
tablets with a suicidal intent, and
that his death was due more to the
effects of a protracted spree than to
the effects Of the drug. The remains
of the unfortunate man have been
shipped to his home in Chicago, where
they will be buried. Murry's people
are said to be in good circumstances
and have wired directions for the
disposition of the body. The young
man has been in this section OF the
state for some time and his wherea-
bouts were unknown to his relatives.

TWO BODIES ARE
FOUND in RIVER
Victims of Accident of a Week Ago
Are Found i'm Sands and Snags
Near Lockwood.
But ONE INDICATED
Bodies of Minnie Wagner and Clara
Staffck Are Recovered From Yellow.
stOne-HOpes Entertained That MIR.
Staffek Can Be Found.

After a week of unrewarded effort
the search for the bodies of the vic
Tins of the accident of Sunday, July
25 has not been unavailing, and Sun
day the bodies of Miss Minnie Wagner
and Clara Staffek were found at q
point about six miles east of this city.
Hopes are entertained that the body
of John Staffek, the fourth victim of
sthe accident, can be recovered soon.
When last seen his little girl, Clara,
had her arms clasped around his neck
and it is thought that Mr.. Staffek's s
body will be found somewhere near
the place where the remains of Clara
were taken from the water, or imme-
diately above that point.
The body of Minnie Wagner was
found by Harry w. Paige, farmer
living near Lockwood, and the Staffek
child was located by J. P. HcGinty,
better known as Louis Mack, who
owns an island farm in the center of
the Yellowstone about five miles east
of this city.
The remains of Miss Wagner left
this city Sunday night for New Salem,
N. D., where they will be buried.
They were accompanied by Chris Kali
berer, brother-in-law of the de-
ceased, who, before leaving this city,
expressed his heartfelt thanks to the
people who have so assidiously sought
for the recovery of the bodies and
who have given the relatives of the
deceased their sympathy in their hour
of bereavement.
The body of John C. Staffek was
found on a sand bar near the Yegen
power plant at an early hour this
morning. The bodies of Mr.. Staffek
and his daughter Clara will probably
be buried at the same time, although
no arrangements have as yet been
made for the funeral

BAYONNE, France, Aug. 2.-Relia-
bile news regarding the situation in
Spain received here this morning
from San Sebastian reports conditions
grave there in the northern part OF
the country where all the trades
unions have given notice of the be-
ginning of great strike.
The government has seized all the
telegraph and telephone wires in the
affected provinces to prevent COM
munication among the leaders of the
strike movement The transmission
of newspaper dispatches has been
stopped entirely, forcing suspen-
sion of majority of the journals. The
greatest excitment reigns among the
working classes. Reports received
here direct from Madrid say King AL
fonso is greatly depressed over the In
terror situation. He desired to throw
his personal popularity in the scales,
and it was with difficulty that he
could be dissuaded from going to Bar
celona in person.
PARIS, Aug. 2-The facts at Bar
celona remain clouded as no corre-
spondent has yet reached the city,
which is isolated by land and sea.
Nevertheless it appears certain that
Cen Santa Diego has restored SEM
blance of order in the city and today
a general order to resume work Will
be made. At the solicitations of the
authorities the employers of BARGE
Iona have agreed to offer premium
of a weeks wages to every person
going back to work.
At what cost of life and property
comparative tranquility has been re-
stored, however, still remains un-
known. Refugees arriving at the
frontier speak of the terrible slaugh-
ter" and estimate of the dead at thou
sands. Whether or not the ringlead-
ers who were captured and condemn
ed by court martial have actually
been executed is not yet clear.
1t is known that Emiliano lgleslas'
editor of the Progress, was shot With
out trial in the fortress.
But if order has been restored at
Barcelona it seems equally certain
the outlying country, especially tne
district north of the city, still is in
the hands of the revolution1sts and
even the official dispatches from Ma
drid speak of the necessity of restor-
ing order in the interior of the prov
inces and of the difficulty in dislodg-
ing the anarchists" who have taken
refuge in the mountains.
