VARIEH THAT HAS BEES LACKI5G, The Tariff Bill (laving Retired to a Com mittee Boom, the Proceedings Now Will Be Varied and Interesting. Washisgtox, February 6. The tariff bill, having1 for a time retired to the J seclusion of a senate committee room, I the features of the week in congress I will be the votes on tha bill to repeal I the federal electioa laws in the senate, j on the McCreary Hawaiian resolution j in the house, aud perhaps the Stewart j resolution, 'declaring against the pro- j posed treasury bond issue in the sen- j ate. '.'."" '-'..''''. The election lawTepeal bill comes up in the senate this afternoon, and is to be discussed by Senators Chandler, Bate, Hawley, Harris, Hoar, Frye and Vest. By agreement, the discussion is to close Tuesday at 4 o'clock when tha senate will proceed to vote oa the bill and pending amendments. There may be a struggle fiJr precedence Wednes day, as Senator Teller has given notice of his intention to call up the cele brated MeGarrahan bill, while Senator Vest has given similar notice respect ing the bill to provide for the erection of a new government priming oiilce. Either of isiese billfe i:s sure to give rise to debate, and many difficulties lie in wait, for the printing offv.e bill i a particular, mainly because the sonate and house committees hav ing jurisdiction ever this subject have fallen into a disagreement 'respecting the selection of a si.e. Further, prom ise for a lively day in the senate Wed nesday is to be found in the fact that the Stewart bon3 resolution wilt again be taken up in the morning hour, with soma chance of finding' a more perma nent resting place thai the vice presi dent's table, if the discussion is not protracted beyond the limits of the morning hour. The interest in the executive sessions during the week will depend largely upon whether the committee on the ju d ciary, which meets today, acts upon the pending nomination of Wheeler U. Peckham, to bj an associate justice of .the supreme court. Proceedings in the house of repre sanlatives this week will have a vari ety that has baen lacking for two months past. The Selnorage Bill. Aftar the vote on Tuesday afternoon upon the resolutions relating to Ha waii, Mr. Bland, of Missouri, will call up the silver seinorage b 11 heretofore reported by him froin the eomnittee on coinage, weights aud measures. By the provisions of tho bill the secretary of the treasury is directed to issue 55, 003,000 certificates, representing the seinorag of the bullion now in the treasury, purchased under the Sher man law of 1800. Mr. Bland is saniruine that the bill will pass without serious opposition or j delay. I "1 sae no reason," said he. "why the house should take more than one day to consider it. The subject has bseu thoroughly discussed, and every one is . as familiar with it as 1 he can hope to be, at least in the course of this term oi congress. 'How many republicans will votj for it?" "More than thirty, I should say, judging from the number who have t.ld mJ they would support it. The democrats who opposed tne passage of the "Wilson bill 'for the repeal of the Sherman law last fall will, 1 assume, vote with me for it, and many demo crats who voted for the Wilson repeal bill, and have been disappointed at the lack of results therefrom, have ex pressed a willingness to help pass tho bill. I believe that two-thirds if not three-fourths of the democratic mem bers are for it." 'How fast can tha bullion be coined, Mr. Bland, and the seinorage become an actual fact?" - : ' ' "Oh, that depends upon the willing ness of the officials. They could turn out seven or eight millions a month if the-mints were run double time, but I don't expect they will do that." Joy ft. O'NeiU. When the Biand bill is out of the way (probably not more than two days at the outside will be given to it3 consid eration) the contested election case of O'Neill vs. Joy, from the Eleventh dib ! trict of Missouri, will come up otS the t report of the committee on elections to I oust-Joy and seat O'Neill. ! O'Neill says that never since the ! democrats on the committee heard the evidence and read the law of the state have they had any doubt of the justice of his claim. - "The laws of Missouri require that ballots which are not numbered and which do not have the initials of the judges on tnem snan uoi on couuLeu. "I showed enough of such ballots to pivo me several hundred majority, and the democratic members of the com mittee said that waf 'enough. It is a principle of the deraodratij party, you know, to give full force and effect to the provisions of state laws, and they re .tsd on that. 'I wantel to go into tho equities of the case and show tip the false regis tration, repeating ani other methods used to defeat us, but the eommittea said that was not necessary, when wa ha J such a perfectly clear case ou tha law." . - O'Neill will probably bo seated by a straight party vot.3 of " the house.

An rou's's Swear Vca;ecnce, and Troafclj is Frared Bombs Focud Oa All bides. Paris, February 6. August E. Vail lar.t, the anarchist, who was convicted and'seuteneed to death for throwing a bomb in the chambtr of deputies, was executed yesterday morning. This s?ttles the question which has for some days agitated Paris, whether I ' ArGU3TK TAILI.AXT. Vailiant would die upon the guillotine or have his sentence commuted to life imprisonment on the Isle of Pines. The decision that he must die, and his cxeect on, is regarded here as a defeat of the revolutionary party and a triumph for the opportunists, who, since the bomb explosion, have been demanding the enforcement of vigor ous measures and the strictest applica tion of the law as a lesson to the anarchists. There is no doubt that President Carnot.. who has been anxious to act in strict accordance with the constitution," has been considerably perplexed as to what course he should take in Vail lant's case. . All the memorials and petitions sent to him "by sympathizers of Vailiant have been referred by him to the par don committee at the ministry. The fate of Vailiant nominally rested with the president, but in such cases he is guided by his adviser, the minister of justice. Despite all the efforts of the revolu tionary, socialist and anarchist news papers to conspel Carnot to assume the responsibility, he positively refused to do so. " Among 2he most, affecting petitions received at the Palais de L'Elysee, was one which it is claimed was written by Sidonie, the daughter of Vailiant, to Madame Carnot, beseeching the latter to interfere in behalf of the anarchist. Many persons doubt the ability of the child to write such a letter, in which expressions are used that are hardly childlike. All Paris is excited over the execution, and a tremendous crowd is on the streets near where the execution took placa. The police con tinue to make arrests of anarchists. and the searches at the houses of sus peated persons are unremittingly kept up. But notwithstanding the vigilance of the police, bombs and infernal ma chines continue to be found in the streets and in the houses, where they are placed by anarchists, who in nearly every instance escape detection. . The police, protections are on an ex traordinary scale, but despita the show of force which the officials make it is feared that the execution of Vailiant will be the occasion of further start ling attempts on the part of the an archists. The Crime. The crime for which Vailiant t )day paid the penalty with his life was com mitted ia the chambjr of deputies oa December 9, last. At about 4 o'clock in the afternoon of that day, while the chamber was discussing an, election case, Vailiant, who was sitting in one of the galleries set apart for the use of the spectators, threw tt bomb toward the floor of the house. Tho bomb exp!o:le.l just as it left the miscreant's hand, and he was among the' number injured.. Abut fifty persons were hurt by the explo sion. Deputy Abbe Lemiro was the worst hurt of all those struck by the flying nails with which the bomb had been loaded, and for some tim it was thought that he would die. , The Count de . Lanjanais was - also seriously wounded. A majority of the injured were occu pants of the gallery. Hie consterna tion that followed the explosion may be better imagined than described. A wild rush was made by the visitors to get out of the chamber, but the gend armes, who were alwaj's on dutv in the lobbies, caused the doors to be shut and allowed no one to leave the build ing. It was due to this coolheadedness that the arrest of Vailiant was made. As he attempted to leave the build ing he was detained by a pendarma, who thought he was displaying too much anxiety to get away. His arrest followed. He was taken to the Hotel Dieu, where his wcunds were treated. After a time he made a full confession of his crime. He said that he went to the chamber with the intention of thro win ir his infernal machine on the president's table. He waited more than an hour for a favorable oppor tunity, and then, thinking it had at last arrived, he arose and hurled the bomb into the body of the house. At that moment, a woman sitting in front of him, resenting his leaning over her, pushed back and thus prevented him from throwing the bomb exactly as he had intended, The machine struck the edge of the gallery and at once ex ploded. .

HIS UrE' A 9oa Dcf:n.li His Montr ant the Brutal J atiier iicts K Vedi ..Columbus, Ga., February C East Highlands, a suburb of Columbus, was th4 scene of a terrible trag edy early yesterday morning. James Thompson, a ( machinist, returned home Haturday night considerably un der the influence of liquor, quarreled with his wife and finally drove her out into a furious rain storm at midnight. . She sought refuge -at a neighbor's house with three little children. About 3 o'clock a son, Cliif Thompson, aged 23 years, who is a printer by trade, re turned from his work and went to bed, knowing nothing of the treatment of his mother. Cliff is deaf and dumb. Yesterday morning at 6 o'clock Mrs, Thompson . returned to her home, busied herself about the house and at tended to her children, who returned with her. Thompson was aroused, and finding his wife in the house renewed his quarrel with her and ordered her to get out. 1 - The woman pleaded with her brutal husband, who, losing control of him self, made a savage attack on her. At this juncture Cliff, the deaf mute son, appeared in the room, and at once sprang to the assistance of his mother. His father turned on him to drive him off. The boy jerked his mother away, when Thompson rushed for a pistol, intending, it is presumed, to shoot either his wife or son, possibly both. Cliff grabbed a razor from the top of a bureau and a deadly struggle ensued between him and his father. The boy made a lunge at the infuriated man, slashing him across the throat, sever ing the carotid artery and cutting him severely in several other place. There upon the -elder fell to the floor in a pool of blood and expired in a few min utes. The son proceeded at once to the police station, wrote a statement of the tragedy on a piece of paper and sur rendered himself and was placed under arrest. ; ' The- affair created intense excite ment, and hundreds of people sur rounded the place. Public sentiment is with the son, who is an industrious man, and who was forced to commit the horrible act in defense of. his mother.. THE INDIAN TROUBLES. The Banker Hill Mining District Excited Over the Possible Bloodshed. Paris, February 5. A special to The Herald from Tpcson, Ariz., says: The stage which arrived here last night from Mammoth . brought additional ad vices regarding the Indian troubles in the Bunker Hiil mining district. The fight that occurred last Wednesday evening bentween Hualpi Clark and a small band of Apaches, under the lead ership of the renegade "Kid," resulted in the death of a squaw and possibly one of the warriors. Mr. Clark, who left McKinney's ranch late last Wednesday night with a num ber of cowboys for the scene of the battle, which occurred that evening about dark, was seen near Mammoth early Saturday morning by the passen gers cn the stage, lie told them that when he and the cowboys visited the place where the fight took place they found one dead squaw; that she was not over 30 years old and exception ally good looking. On her person was a belt, knife, scabbard aud a leather pouch full of many curiosities, among them feathers of Mexican birds, mak- ing it apparent that she was the rene gade Kid's squaw, and that they had ust returned from Sorona. Slr. Clark took all of these articles from the squaw, including a lock of her hair, which will make what he considers a valuable addition to his large collection of Indian scalps, toma hawks, etc A company of cavalry nfrom Fort Grant will be in Bunker Hill district in a day or two. A large number of cat tlemen and miners are now in pursuit of the Indians, and a battle is likely to occur before many days. . A Voyas Fall of ierU. New Yokk, February 6. The Ham burg line steamship Taormhia, Captain Koch, arrived yesterday from Ham? burg, after a perilous voyage lasting twenty-two days, bhe encountered two severe hurricanes in tha gulf stream, in one of which her main mast was snapped oft' close to the deck. The Taorinina brought 133 steerage passen gers. In the early part of the vovage the weather was fair. 'When near fSable island, in latitude 40.50 and long ituJe 5i).40, she encountered a hurri cane frara the southeast. The ' hurri-' cane continue 1 near y forty-eight hours. At 7 o'clock, on the morning of the 31st ult., a big j sea broke on the deck, and the man! at the wheel lost control of the vessel. The bolts in the main boom weie loosened and the boom, threshing about, .truck life boat Ko. S on the starboard side and knock ed it overboard. Afterward the boom, swinging with the roll of the ship, car ried away the Lea rigging of the main mast and the mast, losing its braces sna-ppep oft' and went overboard. It was only by long and troublesome work that the crew were able to clear away tha wreck. Oil in large quantities was poured on the troubled waters. The main steer age passengers below decks were in an a.tjouy of terror. Some men were for hours oa their knees praying, while others staggered about and cursed as they were pitched this way and that by the lurching of the vessel. When the mast went by the board, women screamed and some became hysterical. All expected the ship to go down. Cap tain Koch went among the men and women, and, by personal appeals, suc ceeded in alloying their fears some what In the height of the storm, Stew ard Huberiel feU on the deck and was seriously injured internaUy..

Philadelphia, 1 ebruary 6. In many of the churches of the various denomi nations yesterday the death of George W. Childs was feelingly referred to by the officiating clergymen, and his pass ing away was pronounced a public loss and bereavement. The arrangements for the funeral of Mr. -Childs have not been completed yet, but it has been de cided that it shail be held at 1 o'clock Tuesday afternoon from fet. James' Protestant Episcopal church, of which. Mr. Childs was a vestryman for many' years. Who will be asked to be pall bearers is still undecided, as it is dim- cult to make a choice for the sad honor among Mr. Childs' hosts of friends in this and other cities. Even the ques tion of the place of his interment is still a matter of doubt. Mr. Childs had a lot in Laurel Hill cemetery, but to many of his intimate friends it seema appropriate that he should be laid to rest in the same mausoleum in Wood land cemetery that contains the dust of him friend and companion of life, the late A. J. Drexel. Whichever is de cided upon, however, the interment wiU be private. The employes of every department of The Public Ledger met in the composing room of the paper yesterday afternoon to take appropriate action upon Mr. Childs' death. The meeting was called to order by L. Clarke Davis, managing editor of the paper, who moved that Colonel M. Richards Muckle, cashier of The Led ger, preside. Colonel Mickle took the chair, .and after a few feeling aud touching words in reference to the object of the meet ing, called upon Mr. Davis to address his fellow-employes. Mr. Davis spoke eloquently of .Mr. Childs' many beautiful traits of char acter, and his sympathetic and kindly relations with his employes. Speeches in the same vein were made by Wm. W. McKean, the aged retired editor of The Ledger: Mrs. C. F. Hal lowell, editor of the woman's depart ment, Dr. Wm. Wilt, for the local staff; Henry B. Stiles, assistant cashier; John W. Keating, for the compositors, and Joel Cook, business mauager of the paper. Addison B. Burke, chief edito rial writer, presented resolutions that were unanimously adopted expressing the sense of loss felt by the employes of The Ledger in M -. Chil ls' death. It was also decided that The Ledger em ployes attend the funeral in a body. THE DEATH OF MR. CHILD3 Will Hot Alter the Kanujemeut of The Philadelphia Public Ledger. Philadelphia, February 6. The death of George W. Childs will not alter the policy of the Public Ledger, nor will any changes be made in the management of the paper. : By an agreement entered into by Mr. Child and the late Anthony J. Drexel, and in accordance with a provision of the lat ter's will, the Drexel estate will now purchase from Mrs. Childs the interest Mr. Childs held in The Ledger and will accordingly own the paper absolutely.
