LAWMAKERS ARE AT WORK
House of Representative's Will Hold
Three Sessions Daily.
REVENUE BILLS CONSIDERED
Morning and Afternoon Session Devoted
Entirely to Discussion of .Measures
Framed by the State Conference.
Various Objections Offered.
Special to the Bernnton Tribune.
Harrlshurs, May 9. The house held
three sessions toduy In order to avoid
a session tomorrow. The order of busi
ness at 'the mornlnfr nnd afternoon bp
slons was the consideration of revenue
bills on second reading. In the evenlnp
the order wus senate bills on second
reading nnd original resolutions.
Speaker Walton Is urslntf the house
to keep nt work In order that it muy
dear Its calendar nnd Ket away on May
23. He Pays three sessions a day will
be held next week. Mr. Walton Is con
fident the session will close this month,
but the general Impression of his col
leagues Is that the final adjournment
will not come before the first week of
June.
The mornlns and afternoon sessions
were almost entirely devoted to the dis
cussion of the revenue bill framed by
the state tax conference, representing
the six great Interests of the Ktate.
Chairman Rlter, of the ways and
means committee, called up the meas
ure. The agreement to give as much
as necessary to the bill as followed out
by the postponement of the three spe
cial orders for the morning. The main
fight on the provisions of the revenue
bill was made on an effort to amend
section thirteen ao as to reduce the
tax on foreign building and loan asso
ciations from 2 per cent, to 5 mills.
This lasted through the morning ses
sion Into the afternoon and resulted
finally In the adoption of the amend
ment. Representative Fow, of Phila
delphia, unsuccessfully opposed the sec
tion taxing mutual savings associa
tions. When the bill was taken up by agree
ment Mr. Zullck, of Northampton,
moved to postpone Indefinitely. This
opened the discussion and Mr. Rlter
took the floor and made an elaborate
argument In support of the measure.
He contended It would raise more reve
nue than the present law and was
more equitable and Just. Ex-Auditor
General NileB, a member of the state
tax conference, was the next speaker.
He said the bill did not altogether suit
the wishes of his constituency, al
though It was a great step toward the
solution of the problem of equalization
of taxation.
Objections of Mr. Nlles.
Mr. Nlles said the way9 and means
committee made a mistake. In his judg
ment. In striking out the. -provisions
taxing building and loan associations,
manufacturing corporations and mu
tual Insurance companies. He sent to
the desk and had read by the clerk a
resolution adopted yesterday at a meet
ing of the legislative committee of the
state grange accepting the bill so far
as It corresponds with the measure pre
pared by the tax conference as a set
tlement of the question of relative and
equitable taxation, and disapproving
of the changes objected to by Mr. Niles
The resolution recites further that
the ccmmlttee "does not accept the bill
an a settlement of the question of state
taxation of these corporations, but re
gards ourselves at liberty to continue
the agitation for the taxation by the
state of these corporations. Thnt be
lieving that the bill as amended is more
equitable and Just and based on better
and wiser principles than the present
revenue law, we urge Its passage, re
serving to ourselves, however, the right
to endeavor to secure state taxation of
the classes of corporations that are
now exempted."
Mr. Nlles did not think the scheme
of capital tax should be changed. As
a reasun for this stand he recited an In
stance showing that the Reading rail
road, with proierty of equal value and
about the same amount of cnpltal stock
aa the Pennsylvania railroad, paid only
about half as much taxes, because Its
bonded Indebtedness had wiped out the
capital stock value.
After further discussion the motion
to Indefinitely postpone was withdrawn
and the adoption of the bill by sections
begun. All went smoothly until the
twelfth section, when Mr. Tow demand
ed a division and then the yeas and
nays. This section taxes the deposits
on mutual savings fund associations
which do not have paid-up capital
stock. The section passed with only
twenty-seven dissenting votes.
Great Fight of the Diy.
Yhen the next section was called up
the great light of the day began. This
section placed a tax of two per cent, on
the deposits on foreign building and
associations. Chairman Rlter present
ed an amendment reducing this to 5
mills. Immediately a half dozen mem
bers were on their feet for recognition.
Mr. Bliss, of Delaware, was first to be
Tecognlzed. He said the Idea of reduc
ing the tax was In line with the fight
made by the representatives of the for
eign building concerns against bills
which had already been In the house.
Mr. Mattox, of Venango, thought the
tax ought to be reduced. Then Mr.
Bliss very sharply Inquired of Mr. niter
If the amendment had ever been sub
mitted to the ways and means commit
tee. Mr. Rlter admitted that It had not
and Bald that It had been agreed upon,
however, In general conversation. Then
Mr. Crowthers, of Philadelphia, took
the floor and denounced In vigorous
language the foreign building and loan
associations. He said they were on to.
par with the short term orders, whose
failures had caused so many losses to
the people of the state.
Hills Passed Finally.
The fallowlnH 'house bills passed
finally: - Relating to the use of oils or
other products for Illuminating pur
poses In coal mines; to prohibit the
adulteration of milk by the addition of
so called preservatives; making dying
declarations competent In prosecutions
for criminal abortions; the chairman of
the committee on rules made a report
which was adopted, providing for night
sessions hereafter on Tuesdays,
Wednesdays and Thursdays of each
week.
The house this evening, by a vote of
93 to 22 endorsed the preamble and reso
lutions adopted May 1 Inst by the as
sembly of the state of New York, de
nounclng the administration at Wash'
Ington for Its course In dealing with
the recent Nlcaraguan complication.
FATAL VIRGINIA VENDETTA,

Three Slain, Another Will Die.
Norton, Va., May 9. Word reached
here this morning of a terrible battle
on Indian creek In the mountains, fif
teen miles from here. For many years
a feud has existed between the Gilleys
and Days, two of the leading families
of the region, and more than one kill
lng had been recorded by the vendetta
before the deadly affair of last even
lng. Three of ,the Gllley .brothers
James, Fred and Sam met Joe and
Will Day near the home of the latter,
Both sides were heavily armed and
when they met In the public highway
they began shooting.
More than 100 rllle balls were fired
and when the smoke cleared away the
three Gilleys were dead on the ground
and Joe Day was shot twice through
the body and mortally wounded. All
the men were desperate characters and
were much feared by the officers of the
territory. Further trouble between sur
vivlng members of the families Is ex

In a Portion of tho Public Park at Hall
stead.
Special to the Scrnnton Tribune.
Montrose, May 9. John Douglas, of
Ilallntead, a grocer and respected citi
zen, recently purchased a vacant lot

Douglas tender nnd true, who thought
that he was entitled to property he had
paid for.
Twice did Douglas build a fence to
aportlon his land and twice did Burgess

demolish It. The crisis came this morn
ing when Dubois took a rllle and sta
tioned himself near the lot, and when
Douglas entered, shot at him.
The bullet came within a few Inches
of Its mark. Dubois said to Douglas,
who had moved from the land, that he
had established a dead line, and If he
attempted 'to cross It would shoot him.
Douglaa Immediately came to Mon
trose to consult his attorney, J. M. Kel
ley, who Is noted as a criminal lawyer,
and Mr. Kelley told The Tribune corre
spondent that lmmldiate action would
be taken.

RATIFICATIONS OF PEACE
Official Notice Received at Japanese
Legation at Washington.
RUSSIA'S RECOMMENDATIONS
Wei Hal Wei to Be Held Until the Urst
1 00,000,000 Tncls Have Ucen Paid.
Every Precaution for the Fu
ture Is Taken.
Washington, May 9. An official dis
patch from Toklo, received at the Jap
anese legation this afternoon, Btates
that the ratifications of the treaty of
peace between Japan and China were
exchanged at Chefoo on Wednesday. It
is understood that no change was made
In the text of the treaty as originally
concluded, but that taking into ac
count the recommendations made by
Russia, Germany and France, the Jap
anese government has agreed to re
nounce the permanent possession of the
Llao Tung peninsula, on condition,
however, that the arrangements regard
ing the form and the terms of the re
nunciation shall be reserved for ad
justment between itself and the govern
ment of China.
This latter stipulation Is construed to
means that Japan will not surrender
the peninsula until a suitable Indemnity
shall have been paid and that it may
even be agreed between Japan and
China that the possession of Port Ar
thur Itself will bo retained for a term
of years extending) beyond the date
when the indemnity shall have been
paid in full, thus guaranteeing to Japan
not alone the payment of the Indemnity
Itself, but also sufficient time to safe
guard hersoir against anything like
a ware of reprisal.
The treaty of peace Itself provides
that Wel Hal Wcl shall be held until
the first 100,000,000 taels and the next
two annual Installments of the In
stallments have been paid, so that with
the added guarantee of the possession
of Port Arthur, even although only
temporary, the Japanese government
appears to have taken every possible
precaution for the future.
OSBORNE'S WILL IS FILED.
Liberal Provision Mado for Actress Fay
Tcinplcton.
New York, May 9. The will of the
late Howell Osborne has been admitted
to probate In tho office of the surro
gate. It Is dated Jan. 3, 1894, and ap
points John W. Sterling and George
W. Church executors and trustees.
Liberal provision is made for Fay Tem-
pleton, the actress, the bequest to
whom Is In the following language:
Out of the rest, residue, and remain
der of my estate I give, devise, and
bequeath to Fay Templeton, of New
York, such of my property as she may
select of the appraised value of not ex
ceeding $100,000."
In view of thla bequest the statement
of the executors in their petition for
the probate of the will that Osborne
left no real estate and that the value
of his personal, property does not ex
ceed JIO.OOO seems strange. The ques
tion as to the relations which existed
between Osborne and Fay Templeton
Is finally answered by the signature of
"Fay Templeton Osborne" to a paper
which she signed In waiving the Issu
ance of citations for the probate of the
will. In another place she signs her
self as ''Fay Templeton Osborne, form
erly Fay Templeton." Her residence Is
given as 103 West Seventy-second
street. The statement of the executors
sets forth that Fay Templeton claims
an Interest In the estate as his widow
and otherwise.
DURANT IS HOPEFUL.
Ho Thinks That tho Trial Will Result In
nn Acquittal.
San Francisco, May 9. Theodore
Durrant had a long conference with
his attorneys today, and at its conclu
sion said: "I will make the greatest
legal battle In the history of the state.
and I have no doubt about the outcome.
I will soon, be a free man. My four at
torneys will leave no stone unturned
for my acquittal.
'There are a good many things
against me, but I fear Harry Partridge
more than any other witness. Part
ridge testified that he answered roll call
for me at the lecture on the 8th. If he
persists In making that statement he
will hang me. My attorneys will see
him and have a talk with him. I think
he will change his mind."
"How about that ring you offered for
sale? That looks bad for you."
'Yes, it looks bad; but that is Just a
Job the police have put up. That pawn
broker (Oppenhelm) Is a tool, who has
been brought Into the case to swear
my life away. When it comes to a
trial my attorneys will show that he
has been doing the same thing before.
I never offered the ring to him or any
body else for sale."
CHICAGO STEEL STRIKERS.
Will Probably Moko Trouble When Other
Men Are Hired.
South Chicago, May 9. Although the
danger that strikers will make an at
tack on the Illinois Steel works is not
yet past, the situation is not as bad as
It has been represented to be. Stories
to the effect that the American Rail
way union Is about to become involved
In the strike and that the Calumet and
Blue Island switchmen are likely to
join Issues with the dissatisfied work
men, are absolutely untrue.
It Is thought there will bo serious
trouble when the company attempts to
put in new men the latter part of this
week or the beginning of next week.

MONEY MEn"aRE ACTIVE.
Comptroller Eckels Discovers Favorable
Signs In the West.
Washington, May 9. Comptroller
Eckels says that he observed In his
v ci'.tern trip everywhere a disposition
among the sound-money men to be up
and stirring for the dissolution of the
silver heresy, which has taken so se
rious a grip upon the unthinking multi
tude and people harassed by debt.

new business buildings, etc., tho prob

Signs of the same sort are observed by
other western men who are living here.
SUGAR. FAMINE THREATENS.
St. Ion is Glowers Making Frnntio F.f
forts to Secure a Supply.
St. Louis, May 9. A sugar famine Is
threatened in St. Louis and wholesale
grocers are frantloally trying to pick
up even a barrel or two. For some
time the sugar trust has had a number
of its refineries closed and wholesale
grocers have bought as little as pos'
sible, owing to the lightness of the Ac-
mand. An advance of 1-16 cent per
pound was made by the trust and a re
markable demand sprang up.
Everyone wanted sugar and no one
had any. The New Orleans refineries
will not ship sugar to St. Louis, as the
demand from nearby territory Is
already too great to be met. Shipments
from the east cannot be had before May
20. Not a grocer In the city has to ex
ceed ten barrels of granulated and
many have none.

wife's fine on a promise that she would
return with him. She winked at the
mayor and exclaimed: "Oh, married
life Is too slow for me."
Wednesday night Solden met Miller
on the public square at La Rue, and
after a few words Miller shot Solden.

CORDON PROBABLY A TOOL
New Aspect of the Double Tragedy
at Louisville.
THEORY 01' G0VEKX0K 13K0WN
Believes Ills Son's Murder Was a Foul
Conspiracy Scnsution Promised
in Coiirt-Anotlicr Man
In tho Case.
Louisville, May 9. The sensation at
tending the Gordon, double killing is not
ever yet by half. The prosecution to
day will attempt to prove that Archie
Dixon Brown's death was due to a deep
laid plot to assassinate him; a trap, as
the proaecutor believes, fostered and
planned by one who, for reason best
known lo himself, was afraid to do the
work, and used Gordon as the tool to
carry out his design. These statements
come directly from the prosecution.
Governor llrown has reason to believe
that his son's coming to Louisville on
the day of the tragedy and his assigna
tion with Mrs. Gordon was known to a
man in Frankfort, Who telegraphed to a
man In Louisville. This Louisville man,
the prosecution claims, notified Gordon
that his wife was to meet llrown, and
"actlvtly assisted In a foul assassina
tion." The prosecution further says
that the name of the man "who acted
the spy" Is known to them, and that
ho will have to be produced In court.
In a rr'vate letter last night Governor
Drown Insisted that the man referred
to be brought Into court on an attach
ment. The man who, as the prosecu
tion believes, piloted Gordon to the
house of Lucy Smith, is a college chum
of Gordon, and was married In Frank
fort. James A. Scott, the Frankfort attor
ney employed by Governor Brown to
prosecute the case, was seen last night
at th' Yv'illard hotel. He Is a fearless,
capable lawyer, and has the reputation
of doing wl-ot he believes to be his duty
at all nazal ds. He said:
"Governor Drown sent for me about
1 o'clock yesterday afternoon. He ex
plained his views and position in the
matter, and employed me to prosecute
the case In the examining trial only.
I want to say that Governor Brown
never authorized any statement that
he would not prosecute the case, nor
did he ever dream of granting a pardon
to, Gordon, as has been stated.
A Full Investigation.
"Before deciding on the step, Gover
nor Brown took counsel with a number
of Intimate friends from all over the
state. He came to the conclusion that
It was due the memory of his son that
there should be a full and fair investi
gation of all the facts; not necessarily
for the purpose of prosecution, but for
the purpose of enabling him and the
officers of the law to determine whether
there ought to be a further prosecution
of the case. He arrived at this conclu
sion after satisfying himself that Gor
don had no reason to believe that his
son had led her from tw path of virtue.
He was convinced that Gordon must
have known that his wife was dissi
pated, reckless and imprudent, if not
an unchaste woman.
"Governor Brown Is now firmly con
vinced that a well planned trap was
laid for his son, and that his son was
selected for the sacrifice out of a large
number of like offenders, and that in
formation was furnished of his com
ing by some one in Frankfort to an
other man in Louisville, who for some
motive advised and actively assisted in
what Governor llrown considers a foul
assassination. We have good reason
to believe that we know who the man
Is who took Gordon to Lucy Smith's
house. He was a college mate of Gor
don's, and was married In Frankfort.
'This man must be brought into
court. We will demand it. There will
be some very Interesting developments
when he is brought. We will push the
matter to the bottom and bring out all
the facts."
Gordon Is Discharged.
Judge Thompson, after listening to
arguments for four hours In the Gordon-Brown
murder case this afternoon,
decided that Fulton Gordon should not
be held for trial and discharged him.
Then followed a wild scene. People
Jumped upon chairs, the bar, and even
on the steps of the Judge's bench and
broke Into cheers. Hundreds waved
their hats in the air and the attorneys
for the defense almost had their hands
wrung off by the enthusiastic multi
tude. Judge Thompson was unable to
restrain the commotion and court was
declared adjourned.
The defendant was not present In
court, having been excused by the
prosecution. Enthusiastic friends of
his Jumped into a cab and rode to the
residence of Dr. Gavin Fulton to con
vey the cheerful news. Oordon was
overcome with emotion,
Colonel Scott, for the prosecution,
said after the trial that he did not
know whether the case would be taken
before the grand Jury or not. He
would have to consult with Governor
Ira
Bog?
Brown first. He said that he did not
think the decision was warranted by
the evidence.
HARRISON DOES NOT WANT IT.

"Who is mentioned in the west for
the presidency?"
"Reed and MeKlnley are not talked
about ns much as they were a year
ago. Senator Allison is often spoken
of, und In Michigan, of course, we have
plenty of presidential timber. One
thing is sure, the Republicans will win
In 18H6 and that very easily. It will
not be on a free sliver platform, either.
I don't believe In Inflation and I say
right here that If we adopt the free
coinage of silver It will put this country
back at least twenty yenrs, and the
depression wo have had will be pros
perous times compared with the panic
that will follow. Free coinage will
paralyze the Industries of this country
impair our credit, create distrust and
upset views. I believe In credit because
I like to get It myself, but free coinage
cannot help the debtors, whatever they
may say. All of the west Is not for free
coinage. Michigan Is not for free coin
age and will be found all right."
