ment was lost on a yea and nay vote—

At 2:45 o'clock, amid loud applause,

with. Mr. Ray of New York objecting.
Amotion to adjourn was adopted —
1(M to 98- and at 3:20 the house ad-
journed.
W ashington, June 7.—The house had
the Indian appropriation bill under dis-
cussion. The main feature of the de-
bate was an attack on the Catholic
church, made by Mr. Linton of Michi-
gan. in which hs argued against the con-
tract Indian schools, saying that under
this system the largest share of the ap-
propriation for educating the Indiana
went to the Catholic Indian schools.
The other point of interest was the de-
bate on the 1< -cation of the Indian supply
warehouse, the New York delegation
protesting against tne al>andonment of
the warehouse at New York for one at
Chicago.
A resolution waa adopted before ad-
journment calling on the secretary of
the treasury for information as to the
enforcement of the immigration and con-
tract lab< >r laws, and another authorizing
the committee on immigration to visit
Ellis island for the purpose of studying
the operation of the laws.
Washington, June 8.—The day's pro-
ceedings in the house were enlivened by
the \x*jT ventilation of the bouse, and
of the incapacity of the architect of the
Capitol; and by Mr. Weadock <Dem..
Mich.) in reply to the attack of Mr. Lin-
ton on the Catholic church.
The business transacted in the morn-
ing hour was the passage of a bill for

present units of electrical measure
ments.
Conference committee report the
Pennsylvania an<l New Jersey railway
bri«lge bill was passed and a resolution
authorizing the Maryland state courts

The question of continuing the Indian
wareh *W- at New york was discussed
by Mr. Aldrich of Illinois and Mr. Bart-
lett of New York, and Mr. Brosius of
Pennsylvania protested against the re-
duction of the appropriation for Indian
schools.
At 4;.i0 the house took a recess until 8
o'clock, the evening session to be devoted
to i ension bills.
TIm Ssastr.
Washin< t« n. June 5.—The house
New York and New Jersey bridge bill
passed the senate with the amendments,
which will probably be accepted by the
bouse.
After other routine business the tariff
bill was laid before the senate and the
sugar schedule again taken up.
Senator Higgins (Rep., Dei.) opened
ths debate with a general assault on the
sugar schedule and an argument in
favor of continuing the bounty provis-
ion of the McKinley law.
The voting began promptly at 1
o'clock. The first vote was on the Jones
amendment, fixing ths date when the
sugar schedule should go into effect and
the sugar Ixranty be determined, on
Jan. 1, IfcO/i. The vote resulted: Yeas,
40; nays, 31. The amendment was
adopted. Senator Hill did not vote and
Senator Peffer voted with the Republic-
ans. Senators Allen and Kyle voted
with the Democrats. Senators Brfoe
and Vilas withdrew their votes, being
paired with Senators Wolcott and Mitch-
ell of Oregon.
The next vote was upon the
ment offered by Senator
(Rep., Neb.) providing for the retsntkm
of the bounty provision of the McKin-
ley law, which waa defeated: Yeas, 32;
nays, 40. Senator Hill voted no, as did
also Allen and Kyle. Peffer voted with
the Republicans.
Manderson next proposed an amend
ment decreasing the bounty one-tenth of
one cent each year until the time fixed
in the McKinley law for the total expi-
ration. This was also defeated. Y<
84; nays, 87. Alien and Kyis who had
been voting with the Democrats voted
with the Republicans on this
Hill did not vote.
and after 188.? reducing it to I
This waa alao defeated.
Teas, 84; nays, 87. Allen and Kyle
voted yea.
Allen offered an amendment to add at
the end of ths paragraph a proviso that
ths bounty ehall bs eight-tenths of 1
cent for sugar produced in the United
States in 1884. This was also defeated:
Yens, 82; nays, 40.
Mr. Peffer offered an amendment to
place all sugars on the free list. This
waa loat by a vote of 26 to 87.
Mr. Alliaon'a amendment to make the
echedule go into effect immediately on
the paaeage of the bill was defeated by
80 to 88.
Mr. Manderson proposed an amend*
ment to cut the duty down one-half and
the bounty one-half. Lost on a rising
vote, 23 to 81,
The question then wae on the Jones
smendment, the schedule agreed on by
the Democratic aide, the Joma com-
promise amendment, fixing the sugar
duties, and H «■■■'-* ** •-
Tine Jones amendments, increasing the
duty on sugar candy from 30 to 35 per
cent., and making the duty on sacchar-
ine 25 per cent., were agreed to.
This completed the sugar schedule,
and on motion of Mr. Harris the senate
went into executive session and shortly
after adjourned.
The amendments adopted were those
proposed by the Democratic caucus.
Washington, June 6.—Before enter-
ing upon the discussion of the tariff the
senate paased seven bills, one of them
being a house bill and the others senate
bills. The house bill grants certain
lands known as the Dearborn arsenal to
the village of Dearborn, Mich., for pub-
lic purposes.
When the senate took up for consider-
ation the tariff bill Mr. Jones asked
leave to withdraw the compromise
amendment of the tobacco schedule,
which made the rate on leaf wrapper
and nnstenimed fl .%0 and #2.25 respec-
tively. and restore the house amendment,
in which the rates are $1 and #1.25 re-
spec tivefv.
The move was a surprise to senators
on both sides, as by agreement the com- !
promise paragraph was adopted pro j
forma, with the understanding that the !
subject shall lie considered later.
The other Jones amendments to the to- I
bacco schedule were adopted.
The nezt schedule was of agricultural j
products and provisions, on which but
littie jirogrrtts was made up to the
hour of 7 p. m., when the senate ad-
journed.
Washington. June 7.—The leaders on
both sides of the senate chamber have
been conferring with a view to reach-
ing some agreement so that progress
will be made with the tariff. Fur sev-
eral hours Senators Aldrich anil Allison
have been conferring with Senators Har-
ris and Cockrell and each side held con-
sultations with party friend*.
Mr. Harris proposed the new
objection
Mr. Hoar brought up the claim of $15,- j
000.000 against the Stanford estate. It .
caused some talk, but no action was
taken.
The tariff bill was then taken up.
Mr. Carey completed his speech on the
bill at 2 o'clock. Messrs. Allison. Sher-
man. M< Laurln, Manderson. Vest. Allen j
and Teller participated.
The Nebraska senator became involved
in a discussion with Mr. Teller on the
B
cause of the low pri«*e of wheat.
The discussion was continued until
5:30, when a vote was had on the
finance committee amendment, fixing
the rate on oatmeal at 15 per cent., and
ezclndmg it from the reciprocity pro-
visions of the paragraph
It was adopted aiid Mr. Allison then
moved to strike out the reriprocity pro-
vision of the paragraph.
It was defeated by a strict party vote,
24 to 32.
Then, at 6 o'clock, with a sarcastic al-
lusion to the rapid progress made, Mr.
Harris moved that the senate go into ex-
ecutive session.
Washington, June 8.—In the senate
Mr. Hoar's resolution to set at rest the
claim of the United States against the
estate of the late I/eland Stanford came
over from yesterday and was laid be-
fore the senate at the opening of the
sssion today. Mr. Teller suggested the
resolution be modified so as to confine
the inquiry to be made simply to the ad-
visability of releasing the Stanford es-
tate without in any way touching the
validity of t)ie claim in order not to af-
fect other claims which the government
might have. Mr. Hoar agreed to mod-
ify his resolution in accordance with
this suggestion. After some further
discussion Mr. Allen (Pop., Neb.) moved
to lay the resolution on the table. The
motion wss carried—24 to 18.
The tariff bill was then laid before
the senate and Mr. Cullom (Rep., Ola.)
took the floor and delivered a speech on
the gereral historical phaaee of the tar-
iff
Thuvday morning Houston Wallaos
came to town accompanied by two wo-
men. Hs had an unusual amount of
money and bought a wagonload of pro-
visions suitable for traveling, with a
complete camp outfit. Hs visited ths
hardware storea and laid in an enor-
moua quantity of ammunition.
Deputy Marshal T. Lindsay was sus-
picious that something was wrong, as
Wallace is a man of small means. After
loading his wagon Wallace had a large
box put on from the express office.
Deputy Lindsey resolved to search the
outfit and he did so, finding three gallons
of whisky. The large amount of ammu-
nition and the various purchases further
aroused his suspicion and he resolved to
go to Wallace's home, thinking the bank
robbers were there.
The man and the two women were
held under arrest by Commissioner Gib-
bons on ths whisky charge, while
Deputy Lindsey secured a ]«o*s . to raid

ing Wallace's place abont daylight. The
house waa quickly surrounded, but a
woman had seen the deputise and gave
the alarm.
Dalton rushed to a r«nr window and
leaped out, but was order *d to halt by
Deputy Hart, who commanded him to
stop three times. Dalton refused and
pulled his pistol, when Hart fired, strik-
ing Dalton in the le.*t side. Dalton fell
and expired in a few moments.
Another one of the band was seen at
a window, but during the fight with
Dalton he escaped into a thicket near
the house, where pursuit was useless.
There is not the possibility of a doubt
aa to the identity of Dalton, as letters
were found in his trunk.
Mrs. Dalton seems very much af-
fected over the death of her husband,
but says she always expected him to
meet his death as he did.
Dalton wa6 married in California. He
leaves a widow with two stnall girls,
one of whom is a cripple.
The officers reached town with the
body of Dalton about ♦> o'clock yester-
day evening. The streets leading to the
undertaker's are throng* d with an eager
crowd trying to.get a irllinf*e of the
most noted outlaw m ttu.** country since
the time of the Jame& boys.

Ari>m<>re, I. T., June 11.—Crowds
of people hare poured into this city
ntf-re-
mains. It is beyond all doubt the des-
perado who has been the most famous
bandit leader sin<* the <- reer of the
James and Younger boys.
The officers and cinzeus who came
here from Longview declared he w;u the
leader in the Longview robbery and was
the man who presented the letter of in-
troduction to the cashier.

notorious outlaw, hat* admitted that her

It is known that a snug sum of nvm -y
was captured at the rendezvous where
Bill Dalton was killed. The amount,
howsver. cannot t*e learned, as th« of-
ficers are very reticent in the matter,
and. while they do not deny the prize
being secured, will giv« out no informa-
tion concerning it. The $275 found con-
cealed on the person of the dead bandit
