THE SCRANTON TTtlBLTNE-TtTJSSDiAT MORNING. 3TJEBRtJATlY , 1897. PASSED OVER THE PRESIDENT'S VETO , I,-- The Senate Exhibits Contempt for the Chief Mnglstrntc. AROUSED BY TEXAS JUDICIAL BILL Greater Part of the Day's Suasion Is DuvottM totho Anglo-American Ar bitration Treaty--HiihIiioss Trims uctcil liohluil Closed. I)oors--Tlie House Considers All'iilr.H Relating to District of Coluiiibla--Keiiort of Civil Service Commission. Washington, Feb. 8. Practically the whole of today's session of the senate took place behind closed doors, the question under consideration being the Anglo-American arbitration treaty. During the morning; hour, before the motion to proceed to executive busi ness was made by Jlr. Sherman, ot Ohio, chairman of the committee on foreign relations, the senate Indulged in an exhibition of its utter disregard of the rensons nssigned by President Cleveland for withholding his npproval from a bill passed by both houses. It was a bill creating a now judicial dis trict in Texas. The United States judge, district attorney, marshal and clerk had reported to the department of justice that the proposed legislation was not only unnecessary, but that it would be a serious interruption to the business of the court. And on that re port the president had ncted In vetoing the bill. Ho was roundly taken to task by Mr. Mills, of Texas, for having consulted those oillclals Instead of con sulting the two senators and thirteen representatives from the state of Tex as. Remarkably enough, however, Mr, Hoar, of Massachusetts, found "very strong, good and honest rea sons" for the president's action, but still favored the bill In the interest of the people living In the counties em braced within the new district. And when It eriine to the yea and nay vote there was but one senator Calfery, of Louisiana recorded nsnlnst the bill, while there wore fifty-seven senators voting to pass it, notwithstanding the president's objections. A concurrent resolution for the with drawal of a bill from the president on account of the discovery of a sunstnu tlal mistake in It, led Yir. Hill, of Now York, to ciuestlon the constitutionality of such a proposition, and the matter went over for further consideration. SESSIONS OP THE HOUSE. Today's session of the house was tak en almost wholly In the consideration of business relntlng to the District of Columbia. None of the bills were of more than local Importance. Returns of the votes of the several states for presidential electors, which the law di rects shall be sent to the speaker, will be laid before the house and will re main on the table until the olllelul canvass of the vote on Wednesday, The second agreement of the conferees on the Immigration bill was presented to the house by Mr. Dan forth, who gave notice that he would call It up for action tomorrow. CIVIL SERVICE REPORTS. Facts ltcvealcd by tho Annual State ment of tho Commission. Washington, Fob. S. The annual re port of the civil service commission to tho president shows that at the be ginning of President Cleveland's last administration there were about -irs.000 places IncludeJ In the classified ser vice. This report embodies the work of the commission for the past two years,' as the report for 1895 was not issued, owing to the various amend ments made to it by the president, and tho commission deferred its report for that year so as to include tho thou sands of positions placed under tho classified service during the past eigh teen months. The total approximate number of positions in 'the civil branch of the government Is 17S.717, of which S7.107 are In the classified service, und 91,010 In the unclassllled service. Of those not yet classified, Cfi,723 are postmasters of ths fourth class. Of those remaining In the classifiable, but unclassified group, many will be trans ferred to the classified service by tho action of the rules, ns, for instance, in the customs service, when the num ber of employes in a custom house be comes as many as five, and in the postofllco service when a postofllce be comes a free delivery olllce. The nggrogate compensation paid In the executive civil seivice of the Unit ed States during the year ended Juno 20, 1S9G, was $100,000,000. Tho whole number examined for tho five branches of tho classified service during the year were at, 370, of whom 20,49:; passed and 10,870 failed to puss. Under the head of removals the re port says that during the last four years the removals from competitive positions in the classlfleu departmental service at Washington have been less than 2 per cent, a year for all causes, not including such removals as result ed from necessary reductions In the force. In the unclassified and except ed service at Washington, the remov als are believed to have aggregated In the four years at least 50 per cent. By the revision of the civil service rules, practically all of tho excepted posi tions were transferred to the competi tive list. Tho commission believes thut the greatest benefit will result to the public service by this action, which transferred to tho competitive list many Important positions, including those of chiefs of divisions. The report mentions the consolida tion of small otllces with free delivery offices and says that fourth-class post otllces should be Included In tho classi fication by executive order. When these extensions of tho classi fication have been made and the four year tenure of office acta are repealed, and when regulations aro in success ful operation in all the departments requiring that promotions be based upon tho efficiency of employes, the reforms In, tho executivo civil servico will bo practically complete. The ser vice will then be restored to that con dition in which it was intended to bo kept by tho wise founders of our gov ernment. HELPED TO BEAT JAY GOULD. Death of A. SI.

The first mil lionaire ever executed for murder In the United States will be hanged hero on Tuesday, Feb. 10. It will be a quad ruple hanging, but Interest will be llxed on Arthur Duestrow, who killed his young wife and 2-year-old child three years ago. The exact time which will have elapsed from the date of the commission of the crime until tho pun ishment of tho criminal will be three years and three days, as tho double murder occurred Feb. 13, 1834. Arthur Duestrow Is about SO years old and belongs to one of the oldest and best known families In Missouri. Ills father made his money in mining stocks, and when he died ho left a for tune of more than $2,000,000 to his widow and two children. Tho widow did not long survive her husband, and then Arthur Duestrow became a mil lionaire in his own right. Ills sister, Miss Huldah Duestrow, inherited the other half of the estate. Soon after his father's death he ninr rled Miss Albertlna Lelssc, and about that time entered the St. Louis Medi cal college, from which he was gradu ated with honors. For a short time Duestrow aband oned the bibulous habits he had formed and his friends believed that he had sowed his wild oats and had settled down to a respectable life. A baby boy came to tho Duestrow home and the young husband and wife were proud and happy. Hut when tho baby was about a year old Duestrow fell from grace. He became Infatuated with Clara Allen, or Howard, the keeper of an improper house in St. Louis. When tho baby boy was two years old the climax enme. About 4 o'clock on the afternoon of Feb. 1,1, 1S91, Dues trow drove up to his homo in a sleigh. His wife saw him from a window and sent her maid down to see if ho wanted her to go riding with him. Duestrow was intoxicated, a condition that had become quite common, and he insult ingly replied to tho maid's query. She turned and started back Into the house, when Duestrow, apparently en raged, jumped from the sleigh and started after her. She became fright ened and ran upstairs, taking refuge in Mrs. Duestrow's room. Duestrow fol lowed and struck the girl. "How dare you strike that girl?" ex claimed Mrs. Duestrow. "If you want to hit somo one, hit me." The maddened man struck her, and she turned and ran into tho hall. He followed, heating her. In the hall she turned to defend herself and pushed him. He staggered and fell ngajnst tho wall, and almost immediately drew a, revolver and fired. The bullet took ef fect in the woman's side, and she sank to the fioor. Then Duestrow, apparent ly realized what he had done and bent over his wife, calling her by name and asking her to look up and speak to him. Just then Louis, the baby, toddled in to his father's arms and began kissing him. The caresses of the child seemed to again enrage the father, and he turned on It in a fury. With his baby clasped tightly to his breast, Duestrow placed the revolver against the child's tem ple and sent a bullet crashing through tho infant's hend.eauslng instant death. Then he placed the body beside that of the dying mother, bent low and fired another bullet through her head and fled from the house. Duestrow ran to tho nearest police station, where ho wildly exclaimed: "It was an accident an accident, I tpll you. I am no murderer. I did not kill her." These words helped later to condemn him when ho pleaded insanity in de fense of his double crime. Duestrow was locked up and has been In jail ever since. The legal light to save his life begun at the coroner's in quest nnd has continued ever since. The case was taken on a change of venue to an adjoining county. Kmlnent counsel were employed and a dozen experts at tempted to prove that Duestrow was menially irresponsible when he shot his wife nnd child. Despite all that money could do, Dues trow was convicted. Then his attorney asked for a new trial, secured a stay of execution und appealed the case to tin supremo court of Missouri. For three years tho fight has gone on. At last justice has won. Last Tuesday the su premo court, which had previously sus tained the finding of tho lower tribunal refused to grant the petition for a re hearing, and now nothing can save the millionaire murCircr's life. The feeling In St. Louis and in Missouri is that an appeal to the executive clemency would be folly.

Considering all the developments during the day's ses sion at the stock exchange, the markets for securities held up remurkahlv well. The news nnd rumors wero well calcu lated to lead to marked depression, but execept in tho case of the industrials tho bears made but little impression upon values. The first news was lower quotations nnd selling orders from Lon don. Then came the state senate Inves tigation Into the affairs of the sugar trust which caused the stock to break nearly three points. Tobacco fell 1; Leather preferred 1',, In the remain der of tho list tho losses were only U to 1 per cent, although great efforts was put forth to make capltul out of the vague rumors concerning an alleged disruption of the Joint Traffic associa tion. The crowning effort of the bears however, was a cunningly devised state ment that a fleet had been ordered to Cuba to release American prisoners but the denial came so quickly that the market was not affected. Sugar moved up over two points. Other stocks le covered U to 1 per cent, from the low est. Other stocks closed quiet and firm In tone. Total sales l!7,000 shares.
