It Creates Another Day of Stormy
Personal Colloquy.
SEKATOR CARTER'S ATTITUDE
The Chairman of the Republican National
Committee Denounces the Movement to
Drive Him Out of the "Party"-Mr.
Allen's Cuban Resolution.
Washington, Feb. 27. Tho tariff crisis
In tho sennto brought another tiny of In
tensely dramatio action, of Impetuous de
bato and of stormy personal colloquy. Tho
tpeech of Senator Carter, of Montana, ono
of tho five Republican senators who voted
against proceeding with tho tariff bill,
was tho main formal ovent of tho day.
Thero was added Interest In tho spcecli
owing to Mr. Carter's position as chairman
of tho Republican national committee.
Tho senator used very plain words In do
nounclnK what ho termed tho movement
to drlvo him and his silver associates out
of tho Republican party.
This, howover, was but tho prelude to
inoro stirring, ovonts. Mr. Hoar ques
tioned Mr. Carter as to whether ho In
tended to defeat any protcctlvo tariff bill
unless sonntors surrendered thoir convic
tions to him, and whether his construc
tion of tho Minneapolis plntform agreed
with tho construction given to it by Pres
ident Harrison. Mr. Carter responded
with groat vigor that Mr. Harrison's
courso had not been all that was desired,
but it was nt least a beacon of hopo for
tho future Hut It was not tho construc
tion applicable to tho situation In tho son
nto today.
Mr. Gear, of Iowa, sharply questioned
Mr. Curtor upon tho circumstances of
framing tho financial plank of tho Minne
apolis platform.brlnglng out that Senators
Jones of Novnda and Teller of Colorado
had tnkon part In shaping that document.
Mr. Carter assorted that whllo this was
truo, tho men who framed that plank
never dreamed that tho English langungo
would pormlt such misconstruction of Its
terms. Thereupon Mr. Gear, referring to
Mr. Carter's conduct of tho national cam
paign In 18U2, asked If this plank was not
the ono by which ho (Carter) nnd tho son
ator from Colorado (Teller) sought to
carry tho stato of Colorado for tho Repub
lican party. Air. Carter roplled that tho
plank was so accepted becauso tho Repub
lican party had always kept Its promises,
nnd It was now incumbent on that party
to again redeom Its promises.
Tho references to Mr. Teller's part In
framing tho platform brought him to his
feet with an explanation of what had been
intended, mid n fiery denunciation of tho
bimetallism of Mr. Shormau. Tho lnttor
In turn arraigned the dishonesty of tho
policy of free silver, which would pay tho
laboring man In a fifty cent dollar. Mr,
Sherman prophesied that ovon Colorado
would reject tho freo silver idea and accept
truo bimetallism.
To this Mr. Toller rojoinod with Intonso
feeling that Colorado would never follow
tho courso suggested by tho Ohio senator,
and If sho did ho (Toller) would ceaso to
represont that stato. Ho predicted that
freo silver was not dend, as Mr. Sherman
had assorted, but that It was a llvoly
cornso which would rlso In tho senate to
perplex Mr. Shorman. Mr. Toller closed
with tho Impassioned utteranco tunc tne
Glorious past of tho Republican party
would bo obliterated If It committed tho
Infamy of following tho financial leader
ship of Mr. Shorman.
Tho lattor part of tho day was glvon to
tho Cuban resolution, Mr. Whlto, ot Cali
fornia, arguing that tho executive was tho
'propor branch to grant recognition of bel
ligerency. Mr. Allen gavo notice of his
lntoutiou to offer tho following amend
ment to tho Cuban resolution presented
by tho foreign rotations committee:
"Resolved, That tho president of tho
United States bo and Is heroby authorized
and requostcd to Issue n proclamation reo
ognlzlug tho ropublio of Cuba as It oxlsts
under tho constitution and form of gov
ernment proclulmod at Jlmaguaya, undor
President CIsuoros In May, 1BU3, as n freo
and indopondont nation, and according tho
envoy extraordinary and minister pleni
potentiary of said republio all tho rights
nnd prlvllogos accorded to tho minister of
tho government of Spain."
Tho Van Horn-Tarsnoy contostod oloo
tlon case from tho Kansas City (Mo.) dis
trict occupied tho attention of tho houso.
The coutosteo, Mr. Tnrsney, spoko In his
own behalf, and two' Republicans, Messrs.
Powers of Vermont and Parker of Now
Jcrsoy, opposed tho report of tho majority
of tho committee to seat tho contestant.
Tho voto on tho caso will bo taken this af
ternoon. Although thero Is considerable defec
tion on tho Republican sldo which lavors
tho minority recommendation that the
cuso shall bo recommitted and tho testi
mony reopened, tho indications aro, that
tho majority report will bo adopted.

and wagon grants woro agreed to. Ono of

Ho did not even know that wo contem

For tho present I shall act as his secre

Theodore Elsenhower's Innocent Victim
Expired Last Night.
DECLINED RAPIDLY YESTERDAY I
It Was an Almost Hopeless Case From the
First and the Ninth Day Brought on
the Crisis Would Have Been
a Helpless Cripple.
John Schwindt, who was murderously shot
on tho 17th inst. by Theodora Eisenhower,
through mistaken Identity, expired at U:20
o'clock last night and ids assailant, who is
confined in tho Pottsvlllo jail, must now
plead to a charge of murder. Tho wound
was of such a character that at no time did
tho physicians in attendance hold out any
hopo to the victim's family, hut for the sake
of his wifo, who is in ill health, tho worst
was concealed as much as possible. It is be
lieved that if tlto truth had boon conveyed
to the wifo she would have succumbed under
the shock and strain. By tho policy pur
sued sho was able to prepare for tho crisis.
As it is, sho is almost prostrated by grief.
Everything possible was dono to savo tho
victim's life, but since the end has como tho
family is to somo extent reconciled, ns, had
ho survived, he would havo been a helpless
cripple. Tho injury to tho sp'mo by tho
bullet was so sovero that Schwindt's body,
from tho waist down, was completely par
alyzed and he would not havo been ablo to
assume other than a prostrate position dur
ing tho remainder of his existence
Up to Tuesday afternoon Schwindt's condi
tion was considered fair, under tho circum
stances. At times much improvement was
shown. Wednesday night an unfavorable
change set in and ho grow worso yesterday
morning, but not to an extent to create an
apprehension that death was as near as it
proved to be. At about threo o'clock yester
day afternoon a rapid decline set in
and when ho called at tho bedsido with Dr.
Church at 5:30 last evening Dr. Diddle said
thero was nothing to bo dono ; it was only a
question of a few hours. Miss Adams, of
Frackville, tho trained nurso who kept the
night vigil, was requested to follow her own
judgment and await tho Inevitable. She had
but a fow hours to wait. Schwindt had been
practically delirious from Tuesday night and
Ids head and arms moved convulsively most
of tho timo. Drs. IMddlu and Church Say
tho effect of the bullet wound was an open
ing that drained tho spinal canal and tho
brain of their viral substance and caused a
collapse.
Tho deceased was about 30 years of ago
and is survived by his wifo and two daughters,
aged respectively eight and ten years. Ho
was a member of Major Jennings Council
No. 307, Jr. O. U. A. M.
Tho case is ono of tho most extraordinary
that has ever occuricd in this region. The
prominence of tho parties connected with it
and the peculiar circumstances involved havo
excited much public interest, but it is in an
undercurrent, and since tho day following
the shooting there has been coniparitively
little open discussion. It lias had nn un
mistakable effect. General sympathy lias
been expressed for tho victim and his family,
and thero public expression seems to end.
Eisenhower's trial will excite great interest.
It is a foregone conclusion that he will bo
indicted for murder in the first degreo and it
is generally believed that the defense will be
insanity.
