TARIFF AMENDMENTS.
A Couple Affecting Wool Schedule Of-
fered In the Senate.
CUBA UP FOR DISCUSSION.
Mr. Mon-ill Opposes the Recognition of
Belligerency Except by the Presi-
dent—The House Refuses to Re-
voke at Cleveland Order.
\
. Washington, May 12.—-Senator Mantle
of Montana introduced two amend-
ments to the wool schedule of the tariff
bill today. He explained that one of
these. represented the views of the Na-
tional Woolgrowers’ association, while,
the other had been agreed to by a num-
ber of senators on the Republican side.
The amendments were referred to the
finance committee.
Mr. Gear (Rep, 1a.), chairman of the
Pacific railroad committee, said he
would not press his motion to proceed
with the Pacific railroad bill today, but
would urge it on Thursday.
The Morgan Cuban resolution was
taken up as soon as the routine busi-
ness was out of the way, and Mr. Mor-
rill (Rep, Vt.) spoke in opposition. The
senator said the purpose of all the Cu-
ban resolutions, including that of Mr.
Morgan, was to wrest the jurisdiction
hitherto held and exercised only by the
executive branch of the government in
recognizing the belligerent rights or the
independence of nations, and thus to
exercise the power by congress in re-
gard to Cuba. Mr. Morrill declared
that congress had no Such power and
that its exercise would be contrary to
all precedents. It will hardly be claim-
ed, he said, that belligerent rights of
revolters should have recognition based
merely on sympathy, but they must be
based on justice and law. -
The Matter of Responsibility.
Were we now to recognize the Cuban
revolters as belligerents the legitimate
government wouldat once be released
from responsibility for damages which
American citizens may suffer from any
future acts or misdeeds of the revolt-
ers. Revolters, he added, are not en-
titled to recognition when the execu—
tive, legislative and judicial functions
are only documentary and migratory.
The fact that the present administra-
tion was retaining General Lee at
Havana was some proof, the senator
said, that good work is being done
there now, and this, supplemented by
the inquiries of a competent special
commissioner would give the president
better information than that derived
from the sudden inspiration of any Cu-
ban annexationlsts in America. Let the
president have some opportunity to ex-
ercise the functions and assume the
responsibilities of his great ofl‘lce, said
Mr. Morrill. ‘
The senator reviewed the thirty odd
resolutions dealing with Cuba which
had been introduced. The senator from
the great peace loving state of Penn-
sylvania (Cameron) had reported a
resolution which, had Festus been pres-
ent, would have led him to exclaim in.“
loud voice: “Paul, thou art beside thy-
self. Much learning doth make thee
mad." Other resolutions, the senator
said, did not mince matters, but pro—
posed to let slip the dogs of war at
once.
In the House.
The house continued the legislative
day of yesterday when it met today
and took up the subject of forest reser-
vations again. Mr. Underwood (Dem.,
Ala.) spoke briefly and was followed by
Mr. Ellis (Rep, Or.), both of whom ad-
vocated the restoration of reservations
made by President Cleveland to the
people. ‘
Mr. Castle (Pop., Cal.) proposed an
amendment by which any settler whose
lands might be included in a forest res-
ervation might .apply for an appraisal
of his lands to the secretary of the in-
terior, the secretary to include the
amount of the appraisal in'the esti-
mates for his department if the settler
accepted the appraisal within six
months. , ‘ '
Mr. Cannon (Rep, Ills.) deplored the
practice of including general legislation
In appropriation bills. He had no doubt
that President Cleveland’s action had
been somewhat ill advised, but opposed
the senate amendment, which would
put it out of the power of any president
in a generation to include any of the
20,000,000 acres in a reservation.
Short speeches criticising President
Cleveland’s order were made by Messrs.
Knowles (Pop., S. D.), Lacey (Rep,
13.), Brucker (Dem., Mich.), Devries
(Dem., Cal.) and Bailey (Dem., Tex).
Mr. Hartman (Silver Rep, Mon.) de-
clared that by the reservation order
[5,000 citizens of South Dakota had been
deprived of the right to maintain school
districts or municipal governments. He
wanted the order annulled absolutely.
Mr. Lacey remarked that Mr. Hart-
man assumed that President McKinley
would repeat the mistakes of-President
Cleveland.
,On the vote the house refused to re-
voke the order—100 to 39.

very long. They are sure to find you
out; and every time a man is fooled an-
other skeptic is made. Skepticism is
allowable when reading in a home news-
paper about some incident occurring in
San Francisco or Iowa, but the circum-
stances ai'e entirely diderent when it
refers to some one right here at home,
friends and neighbors, people you
know, whom you can see, and with
whom you can talk it over. This is the
kind of evidence at the back of Doan’s

work they have been doing, has caused
more talk among our citizens than the

New York’s. Puzzling Suicide Mystery
Fully Cleared Up.
MRS. E. J. REISS THE VICTIM
Name Discovered Through a Scrap of a
Telegraph Blank Found on Her Per-\
Ion—Left Her Boarding House Sat-
urday to Go to St. Louis.
New York, May 12.-—The Central park
suicide was identified this afternoon as.
Mrs. E. J. Reiss of 42 Columbia. heights,
Brooklyn. She had been boarding there
for the last six months.
The identity of the woman was re-
vealed by papers found on the corpse
and those at her former home on Co-
lumbia heights.
Mrs. Reiss claimed to have- been se-
cretly married to C. M. Brown of New
York, and to a few of her friends she
was known as Mrs. Brown. ‘
By most of her friends she was re-
garded as a widow with no relatives
and few friends save some in St..L01fis
and Albany.
Mrs. Reiss was last seen alive on Sat~
urday. At that time she gave up her
room in the Columbia heights boarding
house and told the landlady, Mrs. Mea-
rin, that she was going to St. Louis and ‘
might stop at Albany.
Her trunk was packed, and before she
left the house an expressman called and
took itaway. Mrs. Mearln has no idea
of where it was sent or what express
company carted it.
; After Mrs. Reiss left Mrs. Mearin’s
house it is believed she went directly
to Central park and ended her' life in
the reservoir.
She had frequently spoken of, suicide
and once told her landlady that she
was only prevented from ending her
life by the knowledge that she was not
fit to die. ‘
“But I’m tired of it all," she added,
“and even if I am not good enough, I
am tempted sometimes to end it all. A
bullet would be quick and there are
other ways equally as sure.”
Mrs. Reiss had been in one of these
despondent moods just before she left
the boarding house. .
At the time she said she was expect-
ing to hear from her husband, or “the
professor," as she called him.
No message came from him, aners.
Reiss said she was sure he must have
left the city and did not want to see
her again.
lIIrs. Meatln’s Story.
“Mrs. Reiss came to my house about
six months ago,” said Mrs. Mearin.
“She said she was a widow and that
she was temporarily in financial diffi—
culties. On ac'count of this she asked
for a cheap room. ‘ ’
The one clew which promised to be
of the most'value was the bit of paper
in which a violet was wrapped and
which was found in the bosom of the
woman's dress.
This paper was the upper left hand
corner of a sheet such as is used by
the Postal Telegraph company in re-
ceiving messages. .
This small slip bore a few printed
words, but the date of the message
which had been on the rest of the sheet
as wellvas the address of the" person
sending and receiving it. was gone.
In one corner, however, .were the
company's marks, which show it was
sent by operator “T. H.” and received
by .“L.," and that the message was
numbered 59.
An accurate record is kept of every
message, and it was believed that even
with these meager data the officials of
the telegraph company could trace this
one.
The manager of the New York office
sent out over the lines asking for a
copy of any telegram bearing the same
number and initials.
In spite of the general belief that the
telegram would‘ lead to the discovery
of ‘the identity of the dead woman, Cor-
oner Hoeber did not put so much confi-
dence in it.
He was more inclined to believe the
story told by a man whose name he re-
fused to disclose.
This man told the coroner that about
a year ago a woman of a wealthy fam-
ily, well connected and refined, left this
city for St. Louis.
She was rather eccentric and fre—
quently told him that he need not be
surprised if she went on the stage or
committed suicide.
This man gave the coroner some sam-
ples of the woman’s handwriting, and
the coroner found many points of re-
semblance between this and the writ-
ing on the notes of the dead woman.
To most persons, however, the writ-
ing seemed dissimilar. ‘
It turned out that the coroner was
wrong. for the Postal Telegraph com-
pany, by means ‘of the slip of paper,
finally succeeded in discovering the
identity of “Titania" and the place of
her last residence.
