"Washington, Deo. 37. The ;-jb,ou3e yea
terdaj responded! to the appeal of the presi
dent by pasln a tariff bill, the operation
of which is limited to two and a half years,
and which, is designed to . rakso $10,000,00
for the relief of the treasury. The bond
bill will be passed this afternoon. The
vote 227 to 81 was en party lines, with
two exceptions, 'the Republicans all voted
for the bill except Hartmant of Montana,,
who did not vot3, and the Democrats and
Populists againft it, save Newlands, Ne
vada Populist, who voted in favor of the
niware. i I
The debate itsetfTwaipartlclpated.in by
the leaders on bpth side. Th-j Republi
cans contended ithat tha first necessity of
the treasury was revenuo to supply the
continued deficiency. , Every speaker de
nied that the proposed measure was a Re
publican protection bill. I was, they
claimed!, . an, emergency revenue .bill on
protection lineal , It was significant that
several, - notably Mr. Dalzell Mr. Payne,
Mr. Hopkins and Mr.Grosvenor, predicted
the passage of a genuine: protective meas
ure as soon as the Republicans regained
control of the White House. The Demo
crats took the position that there wai no
lack of revenue n . the treasury, and that
the passage of a bill' to increase taxation
woujid in no wise help the situation nor
furnish the relief desired ! by thsi president
and secretary of the.treasnry.
All who took jpart in the debate , acquit
ted Hhemselvei well. Mr. Dingley and
Mr. D6lli.ver,o the Republicans, and Mr.
Crisp and Mr. Turner, of the. Democrats,
carried off the honors. The bill passed re
peals the present tariff law until A-US- 1
1893.' It restores 60 per cent, of the Mo
Kinley rates.onlwQOil and woolens, lumber
arid carpets, and makes a horizontal in
crease of the "present rates in all other
schedules, except sugar, of 15 per cent.
. Washington, Dec. 30. The program in
the genafo for today is tot perfect the reor-ganizat-
jii committees, listen to a speech
by Senator Lodge on the Monroe docjtrine,
to refer the bond bill, which passed the
house on Saturday, to the finance com
mittee and thon adjourn over till iThurs
.day, unless the house can be prevailed
upon to adjourn over until next Monday.
In case of a session on Thursday there
will, in all probability, by a slim attend
ance, with another adjournment until
Monday, Jan. 6. , The adjournment over
is almost certain unless a financial debate
should be unexpectedly sprung-,
Some of the members of the finance com
mittee have expressed tho hope that tho
revenue bill might be reported: in some
shapo on Thursday and" if it should, mors
or less talk in the senate would occur.
The organisation cjf the committees will
proceed through the adoption of a1 resolu
tion for the appointment of the list which
Senator Mitchellwill offer, embracing the
Republican and Populist assignments as
onade by ths Democratic caucus and the
Democratic! assignments as made by the
Democratic caucus. It is not yet known
whothor a yea and nay vote will ba de
manded. If sach a demand ia made it is
presumed that; the Populists will either
voto with the Republicans or, refrain from
voting altogether. " Senator Alio u will ex-
xlain the position of tho Populists with
Regard to organization when tho question
oomes up. ' i .-
The program in the house is for an im
mediate adjournment tomorrow until
Friday, and from Friday till Monday,

roda up to the West, homestead and de
manded admittance. : j
"Torn West is dead, and ! now it's your ;
turn," the spokesman cailell, and Deveres :
and the woman awoka to find their house
.surrounded. Mrs. West rushed to a dark
ened window and began a wild, hyt;ricl ';
plea for mercy. A doaeu bullets answered .
. her cries and the demand for immediate ,
surronder was rpeatd. Deveres, boo !
asked for a hearing, but his request was.j
greeted with' a shower of shots. j
"We'll give you tea minutes to open up; '
then' you burn," said thernob's leader, and :
his men quietly retired from the door. A j
hurried consultation was held inside the
: house, and then, white and terror stricken,
the little girl ef Deveres was thrust out to i
plead with the mob. Clad in -ker night
robe, barefooted and unprotected, she
bravely walked out into the moonlight
and sobbed out a prayer for her white
haired father's life. f '
' "Get out;' you're liable to get shot youx
. self,',' one ruffian said, and thoroughly
panic stricken the child fled to the eabinof
a negro neighbor. I
Mrs. West then appeared at the door
and, referring to her condition, made a
last 'appeal for merer, j It was unavailing,
. and in another monent ' the house - was
fired. The shrieks ef the imprisoned
wretches failed to more their torturers,
who, aa the fl.ata.oa reached the living
i room, eonld see the naam and woman in
the agony ol deatk by ire. Just before the
roof fell tke woman was seen te reel aoross
. the room and plunge headlong into the
fireplace among the, burning coalsand
there she died. The ! cospse was charred
almost beyond semblance, and the head
was almost burned from the body. 1 1
Wild with pain Deveres, at the last mo
'raent, made a dash for liberty, but a fusil
lade of bullets stopped him half ar dozen
steps from tke door. His body was pierced
by at least twenty-five bullets. Before his
" desperate dash for liberty he had .been
frightfully burned, and would probably
have died without the gunshot wounds.
His hair and beard were burned off hii
clothes were in oharred shreds, and? his
, face' blistered and blackened.
V It is not probable that the scenes ef Sat
urday night will be re-enacted in the vi
cinity shortly, as the outrage has aroused
the most intense indignation among the
i people of the eounfcy. Because of the if act
that West's relatives had threatened ven
gieanca. thare is a strong belief that they
are responsible for the orlme. ,
