Washington, April 24 Senatr.
The session of tba Senate today
opened with prayer by Rv. Pr: H.
Pereina Mendez, rabbi of the Spanish
and Portuguese congregation of New
Totk, who, acsoording to Jewish cus
torii, wore hi. hat while engaged in
praver. This is the second instance
probably in the history of the gOT
ernment, cortainly within' the last
half century where a Jew has offered
prayer in the Senate.
Among the bills reported from the
committee and placed on the ca!n-
daiwas the. avowing: -I

we have reached the point where
there is a fair chance for the consid
eration of a bill looking t'j the re luu
tion of taxes on tb u-:cea
sarios of life. Heretofore
idrTonto metliols pursud in Kill
ing of the tafff .bills was either by
reiusing to collider them or by mov
ing to strike ott tha enacting clause.
But Congress was fortunate in having
before it now the bill whioh it dtre
not refuse to consider and of which
its members dare not be rash enough
to strike Out the enactine cla'ise.
He referred to and criticised the ac
tion of the former Congress in shift
ing its responsibility for tariff re'o.m
in the commission. The Congress that
appointed the fciommission finding
the rate of taxation averaged about
43 per cent, under the p e'ense of
revising it left itso that it had
since reached 47 per cent
and the people have had no relief.
It waa higher today than it was at
any time during tbi lirfBi civil war.
Worn out with waitings disgusted
with the situation of t( Dohgress that
misrepresented the best interests of
the country, they freed themselves
from those who appointed commis
sion and refused to heed it.recom
mendation and sent here a different
class of representatives, and to the
White House a man of a different
political party.

McMUlin said: We are drawing

up in the treasury at such a rate that
it is only a question of time when a

question whether that commerce had

had been a falling off but he declared
that owing to tne present nign (arm

laughter on the Republican side )
Justice auct fairness' compelled
him to fctate that the pub

attach to the members of the major
ity, and in further vendication
of their high character it would
be no violation of secrets of
the committee room to Btate
that when pressed on this point no

drawn of inestimable value to tne
South from the history of the past.
Protection had enhanced the value of
the land of Michigau and would
do it South. It would bring an
era of unexampled prosperity. It
would develop her mines, light the
fires of her furnaces, construct her
railways, invite capita', employ la
borers, plant cities in her waste places
and lead her people into the highway
of industrial prosperity. During the
last ninety days $36,000,000 of capi
tal had gone into her manufacturing
industries, and in this he rejoiced.
There was not an industry of the
South which be would not cherish as
though it were an industry of Michigan.

Mr. MoMillin then concluded his
speech amid loud applause from his
party colleagues.
Mr. Barrows, of Michigan, was the
next speaker. Our tariff on imports
he said, was today confessedly pro
tective in that it was levied, not for
revenue only, but to encourage Ameri
can industry and protect American
labor. One wing of the Democratic
party under the leadership of Presi
dent Cleveland , baa assailed mis sys
tem, denounced it as hyprocrisy and
illegal, declared it to be not only un
wise, but unconstitutional.
On the contrary, the Republican
party believed in protective tariff,
that in levying the duties on imports,
the revenue should not alone be con
sidered but that these duties should
be so adjusted as to give encourage
ment to .American oipital and em-
one in this desire. There is not a

Berlin, April 24. - Queen Victor i
arrived at Charlottenburg at nine
o'clock th s morning. The Empress,
the Crown Prince and Crown Princess,
and the Prince and Princoss of Saxe
Meininger received her at the depot.
Prince Henry r and his sisters the
Princesses Victoria, Sophie and Mar
garet, Sir Edward Malet, British Em
bassador at Beriin, the Duke of Rut
land and the Burgomaster and mu
nicipal council of Berlin were also
present.
The greetings between Queen Vic
toria and the royal family of Ger
many were warm. The Crown Prince
conducted the Queen to an open
four-borsa can i age which she entered,
and wi.h the Empress beside her was
driven to the Castle. Crowds of peo
ple lined the route and cheered en
thusiastically as the carriage passed.
The Queen paid a vis t to the Em
peror shortly after her arrival at the
the Castle. The doctors feared the
meeting would excite the Emperor
and probably upset him, but their
fears were groundless. The Emperor
seemed rather brighter after the iu
terview and his temperature waB
normal.
A LAWYER TRICKED
BT A PRETENDED SPIRITUALISTIC MEDIUM
- HOW IT WAS DONE SHOWN BT A NON
SPIRITUALISTIC MAGICIAN.
For some time past a wealthy law
yer of New York named Marsh has
been systematically victimized by a
pretended spiritualistic medium, a
Madame Diss Debar, who claims to
be a daughter of the famous Lola
Montez and King Ludwig of Bavaria.
She produced pictures alleged to
have been painted by the old masters
and which she said she obtained di
rectly from the spirit land, and de
livered other alleged communications
from people known long to have been
dead in such a way as to deceive com
Eletely the lawyer referred to, make
im take her and her husband into
his home and treat the precious pair
as members of his own family. The
friends of Mr. Marsh, however, did
not fancy his being thus made the
prey of disreputable sharpers, and
tfiey bad tne matter of the imposi
tion brought into the courts . There
it has been thoroughly ventilated
and Madame Diss Debar fully ex
posed as appears below from the New
York l'imts of. Sunday :
When Mr. Hummel called "Mr.
Hertz !" everybody in the room looked
surprised, as no one of that name had
been mentioned at any time in con
nection with the case. A small, wiry
young man, with thin brown hair,
sharp gray eyes, and a small blonde
nat-fuh. Rtermed nuipklr fnrwarrJ
bly, and evudeniiy or a Deft &to x z
perament. Being questioned by Mr.
Hummel, he stated that he was living
at the Hungaria Hotel, in Union
Square; that be was an illusionist,
mesmerist and conjurer by proies
sion, and that he had followed that
business for ten rears.
"Are you a spiritualist T"' asked Mr.
Hummel.
"No, sir," was the emphatic reply.
"Do you know anything about
spiritualism T" queried the lawyer.
"Well," said Mr. Hertz, slowly, "I
know a little something about it."
"Do you know anything about a
trick by which a communication is al
leged to be produced from soma one
in the spirit world ?" Mr. Hummel
asked.
"Ye3, sir," replied the wi'ness.
"Is it really a triok?'v was next
asked.
"Yes, Bir, at least.the one I perform
is, was th answer.
"Can you illustrate it here, pub
licly!" "Yes, Sir-"
Every neck was craned forward so
that a glimpse might be obtained of
he man who openly declared nrs
ability to do iu a crowded room, pub
licly, those things which the defend
ants alleged had been done oniy Dy
spiritual power through the medium
ship of one of their number, the cor

at this time, had become deadly pale,
and she seemed breathlessly to await
further developments. She kept her

glance.
Mrs. Hertz, the wife of the witness,
was called for, and a slightly-formed,
light-haired little woman came for
ward.
Mr. Hertz said that he would
rather have some one els 3 than his
wife to perform the trick with, as
would seem more remarkable, prob
ably, should he do it with a stranger.
No one else volunteering, .air.
Hertz made ready to proceed. He
went to the Judge's private room for
a moment and returned with a scrap
of plain white paper
"Mr. Marsh! r. iUarsn I is mr.
Marsh in the room ?" cried Mr.
Howe; and every one was sorry that
the gentleman had not arrived to see
how a sleight-ol-hand periormer
could do the miracles of the ex-High
Priestess of the Madison-Avenue
Temple of the Spirits.
The little piece of paper was handed
to the lawyers and to the Judge, all
of whom examined it and were satis
fied that it contained no writing.
Then the magician handed it to bis
wife, telling her to fold it three times.
She did so. and he then took it from
her, apparently placed the paper in
her other hand, and put her hand
aeainst her forehead. After making
a few passes over her head with his
hands Mr. Hertz requested his wife
to pass the paper to the Judge. She
did so, and upon it were the words
'!Luther R. Marsh Editha."
A murmur ran through, the audi
ence, but a deep silence ensued when
Mr. Townsend arose and asked
whether Mr. Hertz could perform the
ttick with any one present-
Mr. Hertz said it made no differ
ence to him who his subject was
to the Judge when he returned and to
the lawyers, who declared it to be free
froia writing. Then it was pissed
to Mme. Diss Del;ar, who at once an
grily toro it in two. She handed one
of th pieces to the magician saing,
"I ul ways ma'k min; now let's see
you do tho trick with one of these
pieces "
Mr. Her'z objected tolbis, saying
that he had offered to repeat the trick
just as he had don9 it before. Tear
ing the paptir made it impossible for
him to do it He would guarantee to
do it every timo with paper prepared
by himself.
Here Mr. Howe remarked, "Oh, she
knows how r,o do it as well as Mr.
Hertz does."
Mme. Diss Ddbar half rose from the
big chair, which she filled frojfh arm
to arm, f xclamio: "I reuyhonor
upon its all being done by spiritual
power when I do it !" Jjj.
''We don't care for any discussion;
please stpp d.iwD," said MiJ Howe,
sharply, and Mme. Diss DebXr- whose
face v,-as crimson, re'urna to her
seat. )

THE ILT.USOXIST TRICKS MSl MARSH.
"Luther, R. Marsh!" called Mr.
Howe. Mr. Marsh did not kiss the
Bible, but raised hia right hand and
affirmed. Then he sat in his chair,
running his fingers through his long
curly gray hair and looking over the
crowd with an amused expression
upon his kind Id face. Mr. Howe
lowered his voice as he addressed the
witness, saying, "Mr. Marsh, I know
that you are an eminent lawyer of
greater experience and more ability
than I am possessed of, and "
The witness interrupted to say:
"Of greater experience, perhaps, but
not of more ability. Do not mind
me."
In reply to the usual questions, Mr.
Maish said that he was "a reformed
lawyer," living at 166 Madison avenue.
"Gen." and Mme. Diss Debar came to
bis bouse in August or September of
la3t year. Tlie Lawrences were never
regular inmates of his house, so far
as he knew. They never slept in his
house to his knowledge. He under
stood that they were there learning
how to manipulate Mme. DissDebar's
mag:c lantern.
Mr- Marsh then told at length the
manner in which he had received
coram initiations from the spirits
through Mme. D!s3 Debar's medium
ship, aad also the manner in which
pictures were produced, his testi
mony on -this point being substan
tially as has already appeared in the
Times. He offered in evidence three
of the tables, containing communica
tions froin St. Anthony, St. Peter, St.
Paul, and a piece of glass from the
Padua cathedral upon which the
1Fomti9''8tda',tl funic4uxe,. The
it reappeared if. had the picture upon
it. It disappeared wnen he had
placed it in a pad held by himself
and lime. D.ss Dabar and it reap
peared in another pad held in the
samet manner.
A 'short communication from St.
Paul was read by Mr. Howe to the
court, and Mr. Marsh read a very
long ne from St. Peter. It required
15 minutes to read this latter com
munication, and Mr. Marsh said that
it hac( come in the tablet within two
minutes. Judge Cross and Luther
Colby were in his study when it
came.j He knew that the tablet was
blank before he and Mme. Diss Debar
held U together in their hand.
Mr. Howe asked Mr. Marsh if he
really belived the communication was
from St. Peter the Apostle, and Mr.
Marabj replied that he knew it was.
"Tbsn you still beliee in it!"
claimed Mr. Howe.
I do," was the firm reply, and the
Spiritualistic element applauded vig-
Pfouslv, while Mme. Diss Debar and
Mr. Marsn botn Beemea pieasea witn
this demonstration, which the court,
however, stopped summarily.
Mr. Marsh desenred how several
of the pictures came to him on the
heads of his friends and even in a
room where there was no one. lie
had haft communications Irom Ade
laide Neilson in regard to piotures,
and she gave him one of himself,
claimed to have been painted by Rem
brandt! for a Chnstinas"present.
Being questioned about the room
in which "Gen " Diss Debar is alleged
to have done the painting of the al
leged spirit pictures, Mr. Marsh
said that be had never seen any
painting done there.
"I presume not!"
Howe suetrestively.
Mr. Howe asked Mr. Marsh if he
was in a sort of trance or half sleepy
condition when the pictures and com
munications were produced, and re
ceived) this reply: "No, sir, 1 was
wide awake and in full possession of
every sense. -
Then Mr. Marsh told how the pic
tures of Claudius and Appius Claud
ius camie io him, and he volunteered
to have a number of the pictures
brought into court, including that of
himself.
Mr. Howe made repeated efforts to
have Mr. Marsh assert that he kDew
his owq portrait to have been painted
by Rembrandt; but Mr. Marsh would
oersUt ! in sayinir, "c'.aimad to have
been paintea oy rtemDranat.
Air. Hertz again appended on tne
witness stand by tne side or Mr
Marsh, fand Mr. Hummel took the ma
gician in hand, asking if could, by
a trick,! produce writicg witma in
tablet held by himself and Air. Marsn
He-sind that he could and would
MrTlIarsh tcok a position outside
the. bench and Hertz inside, beside
Justice! Kilbreth. Everybody rushed
up to me bench, lawyers and specta
tors included, everybody being eager
to see bow the trick was done. Mme.
liiss Dbbar sat still and white.
"Mafk the tablet, Mr. Marsh,"
shouted Mme. Diss Debar.
The conditions were not favorable
to 'the I performance of a Bleight-of-
hind trick. Mr. Ma sh and Hertz
people crowded around ko close that
tho magician had scarcely room to
move, yet he succeeded completely in
deceiving Mr. Marsh. He gave Mr.
Marsh a tablet containing 50 pageb,
which that gentleman examined to
writmg in it.
Was perfectly
bl&Lk he pssscd it back to Hertz,
who, with a movement like a flash of
lightning that not over half a dozen
persons in the crowd observed, sub
stituted it for another. Then Hertz
said calmly : "If you wish to tear a
corner off the cover of the tablet so
as to identify it I have no objection,"
and he passed Mr. Marsh the second
tablet in which writing had been pre
viously irscribed-
Mr. Marsh, w.thout hesitation, tore
off the corner of the cover, showing
that he was completely tricked.
Mr. Townsend had allowed the
farce to go as far as ho dared, how
ever, considering that the interests of
his client were at stake and he loudly
exclaimed : "He changed th- tablets,
Mr. Marsh."
Mr. Marsh looked incrcdu'ous as if
he doubted that th change could
have been made unknowingly to him
before his very eyes, and he asked
the magician point blank if he had
changed the tables.
Hertz's hesitation to answer showed
Mr. Marsh that be had really been
deceived.
Mr. Marsh admitted to the court
sadly that he had been completely de
ceived by the msgiciaj, as far as the
trick went.
To all this the New York Times of
Monday adds the following:
Carl Hertz, the illusionist, who du
plicated by a sleight-of hand trick
one of Mme. Diss Debar's alleged
spiritual manifestations so as to de
ceive Mr. Marsh in open court on
Friday, agrees to forfeit $100 to any
named charity if he cannot mesmer
ize or hypnotize Mr. Marsh to the
extent of making him sign a check
for any amount of money. He is
williDg to make the test in open court
tomorrow if he can obtain a release
from his engagement to give a per
formance in a Massachusetts town to
morrow night; or, failing in that, he
will make the test at any future time.
Prof. E. C Taylor, another pres-:
tidigitateur, also agrees to deposit a
forfeit to be given to charity should
he fail to duplicate any spiritual mani
festation made by Mme. Diss Debar,
even to the production of a portrait
of Rembrandt painted by Raphael, as
well as one of Raphael painted by
Rembrandt.
