Now the Senate has re-committed the bill to the conferees. The rule proposes to grant the request of the Senate for a further conference. MR. WILLIAMS' AMENDMENT. Mr. Williams, the minority leader. said that the House was pretty fa miliar with rules by this time. If they wanted to be gagged, all they had to do was to vote for the rule. If they dtred to express themselves on the great questions Involved In the rate bill, they would vote no. He said the gentleman from Pennsylvania, Mr. DalxeU, had promised the House that It would have a chance to vote on the amendments and now brings In a rule prohibiting an' honest expres sion. Mr. Williams then read the amendment he proposed to the rule aa reported by Mr. DalxeU from the committee on rulea: "Provided, however, That the House conferees are Instructed the Senata-amendmenf arttaFIrnf in sleeping car companlea to be com mon carriers; and are further In structed to Insist upon exempting from the provision forbidding free paaaea of officials and employee of the rail roads and their Immediate families.'' Mr. Bartlett, of Georgia, opposed the adoption of the rule because, he said, the House should have the right to vote on the Senate amendment He called attention to the atatement made by Mr. Groavenor, of Ohio, on May IS, when the bill was, by a rule, first sent to conference, and quoted him as saying: QUOTES OHIOAN'S PROMISE. 'I ask the House to hear what say and measure my lamguafe when that conference report comes back there will be a chance to vote on every amendment the House desires to vote npon and than we will debate, and for' once In my life I think I occupy position where I can enforce the suggestion I have made, Paraphrasing what was ' said by Joshua. Mr. Prince, of Illinois, re celved a round of applause when he stated his position: "Choose ya thia day whom you will serve: the sleep ing car companies or the people; aa for me and my bouse, we win serve the people." Mr. Richardson, or Alabama, was pronouncedly against the rule, bellev Ing that now waa the time for the House to set the seat of Its approval on soma of the amendments of tha Senate, particularly on the question of sleeping cars, . . DEPENDED BT MR. TOWNBEND. Mr. Townsend, of Michigan, waa in favor of tha rule on the ground that It was orderly procedure to determine what tha House desire ,.

Speaking of th bill Itself, Mr. Townsend aald It waa a much better bill , than the. most ardent friend of the measure had hoped for whan the agitation began. Mr, Oroavenor aald that tha posi tion of the House was the same as when the conference asked for by the Senate' had been agreed to; that the Hpuse had no conference report firoperly before It, and that he stood n tha aama position en the right to discuss the amendments as he Old on May II. i.

Washington, June 11. The United Statea cruiser Marblehead has - the American steamer Empire cornered In tne harbor at conn to, Nicaragua, ana the- moment the -little -American ves sel attempts to leave the Ntoaraguan coast it is believed the warship will seise It and bring It to account for the part played in assisting Guatema lan revolutionists. Both the State ' and Navr Depart ments have been advised ot the pres ence of the warship and the steamer in tne Nicaraguan port, and tne cabi net oonsldered the case to-day. and is believed to have decided on punish Ing the American ship for Its activity in the Central American revolution, The Empire sailed from San Fran clsco for Central . America several weeks ago and Is said to have. tarried more than 100 mtn and a number of field guns and much ammunition to the Guatemalan revolutionists at San Jose. After unloading Its cargo at San Jose, the steamer sailed back to Corlnto, where It had coaled previous to going to Guatemala, .. It la charged that the Empire acted for a short time aa a sort of jiavy for the Guatemalan revolutionists who are attempting to overthrow Presi dent Cabrera, and terrorised the little republic, which has hitherto always confined Its warfare to the land. Nicaragua Is believed to have vio lated neutrality by allowing the Em ptre to coal at Corlnto and start for Can Jose when It is alleged that no attempt was made to conceal tha pur pose of the Empire nor the nature of Its cargo. HE IS DEAD NOW. Report of Demise of Negro Shot by MM rear! Jones waa I re mat u Deavth, However, Came at Last Coroner' Inquest To-Day Merrill Taken to Raleigh Prison. t Special to The Observer.

Bud Richardson, whom Mink Pearl Jones, the Selma long-distance telephone operator, shot here Saturday night waa reported dead last night, but It developed this morning that ne had merely suffered a sinking spell. While he was In this comatose condition, his cousin came up town and re ported him dead, which report was universally Accepted aa true until thia morning, when It developed that he had revived. He lived until 1 o'clock this afternoon, when he cer tainly died. The Observer's corres pondent, not satisfied to take any body's word for It, went to the house and personally examined him and knowa ha Is dead beyond recall. The county coroner will hold an Inquest over the body at this placa to-mor row morning, by requeet of the father of the yaung lady, for tha purpose Jl.if necessity of an Investigation by the grand jury, which ordeal would be embarrassing to her, The accomplice, Jim Merritt, who was given a preliminary hearing here Sunday afternoon and who was placed In Jail at Smithfietd. the county seat, was last night taken to Raleigh and lodged in Jail there for safe keeping, which, the sheriff ax- plains, was to preclude the possi bility of a lynching. The good jcttl- sens of this placs, however, resent this insinuation and aay there waa absolutely no danger of such an oc currence, which I believe to be true.
