LENGTHY DEBATE ON BEEF
An Item on Indian Appropriation Bill
Causes Long Talk.
HAWAIIAN ANNEXATION FLANS
Sixteen Populists and Democrats Unite
with Republicans in the House
on the Hawaiian Cablo
.Measure.
By the United Tress.
Washington. Feb. 21. The Indian ap
propriation bill was considered In the
senute today for about live hours, and
thirteen additional pages of It were dis
posed of, leaving seventeen pages for
tomorrow. The reason why greater
progress was not inude was that a dis
puted item of SSS5 for beef cattle furn
ished to some Indians was talked over
for almost two hours; and that the
Indian school question, which comes
up inevitably on every such appropria
tion bill, was discussed for a still longer
period of time. The committee on ap
propriations had reported an amend
ment to strike out the two Items for the
maintenance and education of Indian
children at Hampton, Va., and nt the
Uncoln institution, at Philadelphia, on
the ground that these were denomina
tional schools (1'rotestant) and that, as
other denominational Indian sen J l
were to be abandoned, there should be
no discrimination in favor of those two.
The result of the struggle was, how
ever, the defeat of the committeemen
on appropriations and the retention in
the bill of the two items for those
school.
At 6 p. m. a recess was taken for two
hours the evening session to be for the
consideration of u bill authorising the
issue of bonds to the amount of J7,50.
000 for the extension of the sewer sys
tem of the city of Washington. The
resolution for such recess was antago
nized in the morning hour by Mr. Allen
(Nebraska), who. In the course of his
remarks, asserted that the secretary of
the treasury had no authority in law
to issue the bonds provided for recent
ly; that the law under which he claimed
such authority had been repealed; and
that such bonds It contested in the
courts, would be held to be void. He
characterized the attempt to pass a
silver coinage bill last Tuesday as a
mere "spectacular performance." and
he read, with much satisfaction, some
newspaper intimations naming Sen
ators. Teller Hep.. Col.) and Vest (Detn..
Mo.) as accessions to the Populist
party.
Annexation Agitation.
Sixteen Democrts united with the re
publicans and Populists of the house

a half of debate, by a vote of lM to

ference. The discussion was without notable
Incident except a significant declara
tion by General Sickles. New York,
who declared himself to be an annexa
tionist, and said If he could no longer
labor for the progress of, his country
within pBrty lines he would break them
and go where he could do so. He had
done this before, and he would do It
again were It necessary.

of Philadelphia Will Probably l ose Its
Charter and I rlvllcges.
B-ttho United Press.
' Vh"adelphla,Feb. 21. The committee
on law of city councils this afternoon
decided to report favorably to councils
un ordinance repealing the franchise
granted to the Mutual Automatic Tele
phone company, which concern Is al
leged to have distributed $301000 of its
stock umniB couneilmen and others
for the purpose of securing permission
to construct Its system in Philadelphia,
and which alleged action Is the cause
of the present councilmanlc investiga
tion. The Immediate causes of the
committee's decision were that the
company has failed to file a bond of
$30,000 as provided In the ordinance, und
that the cost of printing the ordinance
lias not been paid.
Chairman Huberts, of the investiga
tion committee, stated to the members
of the committee on law that the ordi
nance alone constitutes 99 per cent, of
the company's assets. Counsellor lot
ting said a license should not be per
mitted to enjoy uny privilege said to
have been obtained fraudulently with
out going before councils und voluntari
ly proving that there was not a vestige
of fraud connected with the granting
of the franchise. He spoke of Treas
urer Persch's Important connection
with the company and his failure to ap
pear before the Investigating commit
tee. Besides public opinion, he thought,
demanded that the franchise be with
drawn. The committee then decided to report
In favor of repeal, which action. It is
believed, will bo sustained by both
branches of council.

Jessie Alshouse, a Pittsburg Heiress, Ab
ducted by a Strungo Young Man-No
Clue to the Missing Girl.
By the United Press.
Pittsburg, Feb. 21. Jessie Alshouse,
an unusually bright and handsome
pupil of the Shai psliurg public school,
has been abducted, and her adopted
parents believe that she Is being held
for a ransom. Jessie Is an orphan, 12
years of age, and is heiress to consid
erable property.
She is unusually large and well de
veloped, and with her intelligence would
readily be taken to be three years older.
On Monday afternoon a young man
called nt the school and asked permis
sion of Jessie's teacher to take the girl
to her aunt, Mrs. Mary Cuslck,- who
lives in Allegheny. He said Mrs. Cuslck
was alarmingly 111. and wanted to see
Jessie without delay. Jessie seemed to
know Hie young man, und went with
him without any reluctance.
Upon the death of her parents, sev
eral years ago, Jessie was adopted by
the family of John Overbeck, at Sharps
burg. When she did not return from
school as usual the family became
alarmed, and learned that she had been
taken away as stated. When they sent
to the house of Mrs. Cuslck, In Alle
gheny, Jessie had not been there, and
had not been summoned by her aunt.
The matter was kept very quiet in the
hope that Jessie would return the fol
lowing day. The case was placed In the
hands of a detective, who hopes to find
the missing girl; but is handicapped
badly, as no one at the school Is able
to give a good description of the young
man who called for her.
The Overbeck family can ascribe but
one motive for Jessie's abduction, and
that was to secure the property which
she will Inherit. As she was docile
and obedient In every way, the family
cannot believe thnt she would willingly
remain absent by her own will. Mrs.
Cuslck, the girl's aunt, is the legally
constituted guardian, and 3. O. Barnes,
publisher of the Springfield Record, Is
executor of the estate of the late Henry
Alshouse. The affair has created in
tense excitement, and should her ab
duotor be captured In or near the town,
he would be lucky to escape with his
life.

eight men who were at work on the
eighth floor. I-adders were put up, but
would only reach to the seventh floor.
Six of the men who were on the eighth
procured a rope, down which they slid
to the top of the ladder, and then made

They were terror stricken when they
found themselves penned In by the
flames. Finally a steam lighter came
to their rescue and they were taken to a
nearby dock, from which they reached
the streat.

proper In your 'relations with the
woman now dead," asked Mr. Krwin,
"No, sir," he said, "there was not. She
was a true and noble girl with me as
with all others," said the witness with
Rreat emphasis. Mr. Nye tried to have
this stricken out, but the motion was
over-ruled.
When asked whether it was generally
known thnt he was a gambler Hay
ward said: "I tried to conceal It from
the public. I believe I was successful
to a great extent In this, but my friends

me did so under false representation.
I was careful to 'tell all who came under
the name of close friends in any sense
that I gambled, and all such friends of
mine knew It."
