THE SCTMNTON TTtlBUNE-MONDAV MOTlNTNGr. JANTJAT1Y '25, 1897. THE WEEK'S WORK BEFORE CONGRESS Matters of Importance to He Discussed In the Senate. TURPIR WILL OPEN CUBAN DEDATE The Arbitration Treaty mill tlio MciiriiRimn Cnnnl Will Also llo Subjects for Dihciisslon.-AVolcott's Monetary Coiiiuroiicti Hill Will Hu Consiili:rcil--Hoiise Will Wrcstlo witli tli u 1 ml I u u Hill ami l'ruo Sued Distribution. "WaHhliiKton, .Inn. 21. Tho nrbitrnttnn trenty, the Nicaragua canal and the In surrection In Cuba will be again dis cussed In the senate during the coming week. Fonntor Turple, of Indiana, will open the Cuban debute tomorrow oston Hibly on Senator Cameron's resolution recognising the Independence of, the Cuban republic. Mr. Turple will devote n considerable portion of his time, how ever, as he has said, to a consideration of the subject of the Independence of cciigrosh, with such Incidental stilc tures on the manifesto of Secretary Ol ney ns may occur to a plain outspoken man who believes the executive depart ment lias cvc-rstei.ped Its proper liinc tlon In seeking to intimidate the senate by the threat of the veto power and the predicted defiance of contemplated leg islation. Mr. Turple's penchant tor caustic comments and his failure to conform to the polite language of dip lomacy In attacking policies that he be lieves to be wrong, leads to the belief that his speech may be piquant reading. The condition of the Nlcaraguun canal 1)111 is peculiar. It Is still the unfinish ed bUi-lncs-p. Senator Morgan, who lias given the subject careful consideration says the bill Is drawn so as to come within the terms of the concession granted by Nicaragua and he denies that the letter, of .Minister Rodriguez has any weight whatever. He will an tagonize a motion to send the 1)111 back to the committee if any is made and In sist upon the vote on the bill being taken. The debate In the senate will pro.abb be protracted until the corres pondence with Nicaragua, called for by Mr. Morgan's resolution adopted Satur day, Is received. Meanwhile thy Rodrl Eiiesi letter will have an important bear ing upon the general committee in spec ial session tomorrow. Friends of the Isthmus canal will antagonize final ac tion on the treaty until something dell nlte is done on the cnnul bill. At the conclusion of Mr. Turple's speech tomorrow, the feonato will listen to eulogies on the late ex-Speaker Crisp. The bankruptcy 1)111 which was made the special order for two o'clock, In all piolmblllty will be postponed for a few day a. THE AVOLCOTT BILL. The bill to provide for the representa tion of thd United Stutes by commis sioner at any International monetary conference hereafter to bo called the AVolcott bill will be considered after the morning business. Less than six weeks of the present session of congress remain and this fact has impressed upon the managers of the house the necessity of more vigor ously punning the appropriation bills yet remaining to be considered. It waa stated jesterday by a member of the committee on rules that the agricultural nnd Indian bills now on the calendar would be the principal items of busi ness on the programme this week. These bills although carrying compar atively small sums usually give rise to more debates than others on the list. Tlie seed distribution piovlded for in the agricultural bill Is sure to evoke criticism, and the Indian school ques tion can be relied upon to occupy n day or more of the time of the house. The Indian bill further contains the provi sions of the bill reported two or three weeks ago to abolish the olllces of In dian commissioner and assistant Indian commissioner and confer their duties on a beard of commissioners. Th'is may b promptly disposed of on a point of order.but It Is more likely to be the occa sion of considerable talk. The new im migration bill agreed upon by the con ferees will be presented to the house tomorrow and the advocates of the measure will endeavor to secuie a day later In the weeek for Its consideration. LYNCHINGIN TEXAS. An Angry Mob Hangs Qcne Washington on the Strength of Unsupported Circumstantial Evidence. Galveston, Tex., Jan. 24, Details of the lynching of Gene AA'ashlngton, who committed the criminal assauit on Miss Dehalt at the home of her brother-in-law, Brooks, last night, four and a half miles north of Bryan, Tex., have been received here. He was hung to a tree in front of the First National bank on Mnin street In that town at G.30 last night by an armed mob. He was Identified by an Irishman, with whom AVashington was walking on the rail road track near Brooks' house, and whom he left ostensibly to go to the house to get a drink of water and get something to eat. The Irishman, when he reached Benchley, a station south of Bryan heard of the outrage and then told about the negro leaving him. The time corresponding w h the time the outrage was committed, the Irish man was brought back. He recognized AA'ashlngton among a dozen other ne groes as the man who was with him last Thursday afternoon. AVhen the identification was made GOO men were around the Jail, and despite the appeals of the district Judge, county judge, Sheriff Nunn and other promi nent citizens to allow the law to take Its course, they made a dash on the jail, overpowered the sheriff nnd depu ties and took the negro out and hanged him. AA'ashlngton, who was about 21 years of age and coal black, denied his guilt to the last. A tag was pinned to lils clothes, reading: "This is the fate of all rapo offenders." Aftyr the hanging, the mob dispersed, leaving the body suspended. PRISON PLOT UNEARTHED. A Conspirncy to .Murder the Cuurds Is Discovered. Columbus, O., Jan. 24. The ofllcialH of tlie Ohio atute prison discovered n plot yesterday to murder guards. and execute a general delivery of convicts to-day.

FACTIONS LIABLE TO GET IN LINE Concluded from Pago 1. tends the time of the validity of a claim from six months to a 'year. TO ABOLISH CONSTABLES' BE T1JI5NS. A bill abolishing the system of re quiring constables to make quarterly returns to the court of qunrter ses sions will be put In the house by AV. C. Smith, of Bedford. This is an old custom which has long since become as useless as expensive. At present constables are required to go to the seat of the county In which they re side on the first day of every term of quarter sessions court and make a sworn statement to the Judges. In nlntey-nlne cases out of a hundred, Mr. Smith suys, they swear they have no returns to make. Some judges have decided there is no provision for the constables under the new bill and they have to spend a day and the time In going to and returning from court without compensation. In some coun ties the constables are allowed per diem pay and mileage. Mr. Smith's 1)111 provides that constables who may have knowledge of violations of the law shall go before the nearest just ice of the peace and be sworn to them. These are to be turned over to the court of quarter sessions by the just Ice, who receives twenty-live cents for administering the oath, and the con stable gets fifty cents for making the return. Mr. Smith says such a law would save from $."0,000 to $100,000 an nually to the state. PLUMBERS' REGISTRATION. Alex. -T. Connell, will offer in the house a bill to secure the registration of plumbers and the supervision of plumbing nnd drainage in cities hav ing a population of 20,000 or upwards. It provides for the appointment by the mayors of such cities of an exntnining board of plumbers, two of whom shall be master plumbers, two journeymen and the chief Inspector of plumbing and drainage of the city, who shall bo a member of the hoard ex-ofilclo. They shall have not less than ten years' ex perience as practical plumbers nnd have lived within the state three years prior to their appointment. They shall serve for a term of two years at a sal ary of $C a year. Persons desiring to engage In the plumbing business are to bo required by the act to be examined by the board. Failure to comply with this provision is made punishable by a fine of $50. Master plumbers are required to pay $5 as an entrance fee for examination and journeyman plumbers $1. Ap prentices who have worked at the trade three years and pass a satisfactory ex amination before the board will re ceive certificates as journeymen. There Is a general demand among plumbers over tlie state for the passage of this law. The annual meeting of the state board of agriculture will be held In the Supreme court chamber In this city AVednesday and Thursday. Governor Hastings will preside and addresses will be made by Deputy Attorney General Elkln and Prof. John Hamil ton, deputy secretary of agriculture. Arrangements will also be made this week for two dinners In which the legislators will take part. One will be given In honor of Boies Penrose's election to the United States senate.
