LATEST DISPATCHES.

A Halifax apacinl says: Thursday's snow storm was one of the worst known here for years, and railway travel is again demoralized. The barliers north of Sidney, Digby, Yarmouth, trad Annapolis are frozen solid for tho first lime in years. At midnight, when the storm was at its worst, the dwelling house of Alexander Beaton, a prominent resident of lioulnndere, caught fire and was completely destroyed. Mr. Beaton's wife and grandchild were burned to death. A St. Pact., special, dated the aeth inst, says: The ice carnival begins today. The ice palace stands in Central

Park, occupies a space of 200 feet square.

and rises to the height of 130 feet, the

only material used being ice. It has a

profusion of towers, keeps, bastions, and

turrets, in the building upwards of lit',

000,0(10 pounds of ice have been used. The

pageant attending the reception and installation of the ice king was one of unusual magnificence. In the breezy, sun

shiny weather a crowd of 35,000 people

assisted at the entrance of iiorealia iiex.

His highness was attended by 1,600 members of the various toboggan and snow-shoe clubs, and paraded the

streets in an icy car of slate dragged by six milk-white horses with polar bear outriders. To-night the ice palace was turned into a huge beacon, easily seen all over the cliy by a myriad ot electric lights within its walls. The maze is modeled after that of Hampion Court palace, and excites much curious interest The huge twentyfoot statue of Lincoln is not yet finished. The streets are illuminated ' with many colored electric lights forming a dharming scene. A large number of visitors will be here for ten days to come, and the fun will be kept up with an ever-varying program of night and day pageants, winter sports, games, industrial parades', fireworks, etc. The lockout at the Central Glass Works, in Wheeling, W. Vs., was ended by a decision of the arbitrators, to whom it was referred, in favor of the operatives. The Central Glass C ompany is a member of the National Glass Manufacturers Association, and by virtue of the resolution of that association stoppad work at the close of last year. The operatives claimed that this company in July last entered into a contract with them for one year, and that no order or resolution of the Manufacturer's Association could release it from the fulfillment of that contract. The arbi

trators decided that there was such a con

tract, and that the company should resume work at the July scale, but inasmuch as the contract was loosely made, it should only govern until a settlement was reached by the Manufacturer's Association with

their employes, and whatever was thus

agreed upon in regard to wages should ao

into effect also in the works of the Central

Glass Company. The negotiations between France and Italy for a treaty of commerce have been

ruptured. Italy agreed to accept but eighty-nine of the 272 articles covered bv

the old treaty, and these only at increased

term's.

While the funeral of Benjamin Mun-

day was in progress at Springfield, Ohio, a spirited team of hearse horses ran away, colliding with a lamp-post. They broke it short off and overturned the hearse. The

remains were tossed about within the hearse, but the coffin was not damaged.

A special from victoria, B. C, says:

It is now believed that nearly ninety lives were lost in the Wellington colliery explosion. Three-fourths of the men still in the mine are Chinamen.

A spf.ciaIi from Charleston, S. C, savs:

The colored people here are much stirred

up over the reports of the formation of an xodus association in Topeka for the colonization of negroes to South America.

Fuel has been added to the flame bv an

article published in the Ncvm and Courier, telling negroes that there is no danger of being sold into slavery if they go to South America. The article says: "Slaves sell

in the market in Brazil for about S3U0, and it is intimated that hundreds of thousands of colored people will join the exodus and that the exodus association represents a

capital or ,uw,om. if three hundred thousand colored people join the exodus and if they are sold at an average price of S::c0 a head, the exodus association would

make $bV,00 V 00 on its original investment." A good many negroes have rend the newspapers and this article has created a sensation.

A Key West special says that during

the last ten days Havana has been a perfect turmoil and on the verge of mob violence. The tronble was caused by the unscrupulous acts of Captain-General Marin and his officials. Although Marin has been in office but three months, his administration is reeking with crimes of

every description. Government tax is

short SoM,()iii'. The local Board of Aldermen gobbled $40,000. The Cardenas tax office is short $10,0 10, and every office of

trust i honey-combed with fraud. The situation is becoming more alarming every moment.

PERSONAL NOTES.

Eliza B. Garfield, mother of the

President, died at Cleveland,

Ohio, Jan. 2L For many days her life had been slowly but surely drawing to a closa. 9m slept a great deal, but when waking seemed cognizant of all that was passing about her. Hhe passed away quietly. Friends of Got. Garfield maintain that from her he inherited all the power that afterward made himfamona. The blow caused by his assaesina- ' was a severe one, and from tb tinre . .. uttered the words: "Why did tbuy l oot nry baby?" on first bearing of the crime hIm aradaauy failed, batsilaauy tad without out

complaint Tail sorrow, together with the weakness Of Old age, for she was eighty-six, sapped away her life. Since James A. Oarfield established his homo at Mentor Mrs. Garfield has lived there, and there she died. She was known to all as "Grandma" Garfield. Mrs. Jossphson, a prominent witness in the Arensdorf case, was fatally injured by being thrown from a wagon at Sioux City, Iowa.

P0UTICAL POINTS. Washington telegram: "In administration circles there is joy over the defeat of Randall's candidate for- Chairman of the Pennsylvania State Committee. It was looked upon as the most complete set-back Randall over got, and his friends are correspondingly depressed. The Democratic protection leader gave no sign of his dofoat Ho came int tho House early and devoted himself to Congressional duties as closely as though he had not suffered the greatest political defeat of his life." The first skirmish of the opposing lines on the subject of revenue reform, snyi a Washington ' telegram, took place Thursday in the Ways and Me an a Committee, resulting in a slight viotory for tho tariff reformers. Chairman Mills was unable to attend, on account oi illness, and Mi'. McMillin presided. A iormal motion made by him to refer to appropriate sub-committees the various bills referred to the committee which have boeu received from the Pnblic Printer was adopted. Mr. McKinloy (Ohio) then moved to take np and consider his bill repealing tho tobacco tax. -'ouie discussion ensued, from which it appeared thatthe Democratic majority was averse to considering any specifio tax-re-dnction bill at this time, preferring to toko up that class of bills in commotion with the general tariff-reduction bill which it is tho intention of the committee to ureaent to the House. Finally Mr. Breckinridge of Arkansas moved to deier the consideration of Mr. MoKinley's bill until the general subject of revenue reduction is taken up by the committee, and this motion prevailed by a strict party vote of 5 to I. The Republicans of the District of Columbia met in convention at Washington on Tuesday . to choose delegates to the National Convention. What followed is thus told by the Associated Press agent: Most of the delegates were Aegroes. In less Uian half an hour the condition was little mure than a howling mob, and the rival factions were struggling fiercely for possession of the stage. Frederick Douglass, during a brief lull, made a short speech, counseling order and harmony, but he had no sooner finished than bedlam broke loose again. Quarreling, wrangling, and shouting continued until about 2 o'clock, as which time the convention was no nearer organization than when it assembled. The polioa, who had been passive spectators of the disorderly proceedings, than took possession of the stage and cleared the halL Half an hour later all persons who could show credentials aa delegates were readmitted one by one and the convention resumed its session, Thois of the delegates who belonged to what Is known as the Chase faotion finally succeeded in getting partial oontrol of the convention, and elected delegate!. Their Chair, man thereupon declared the convention adjourned. The Carson faction then took possession of the hall, and elected another set of delegates, known to be favorable to Shermaa.

FINANCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL The strike among the miners is affecting iron values. Kurlz, Blanohard A Co., of New York, bag minufacturers, failed for 4250,000. One hundred clerks, operators, train and section men between St, Louis and Toledo havo been discharge t, and two passenger trains dropped by the Toledo, St. Louis and Kansas City lioilroad Company, to reduce operating expenses. Reports of dullness in the bituminous coal trade from Pittsburg, and a tendency to a reilnction in prices in Chicago and other Western towns is announced The First National Bank of Auburn, N. Y., has closed its doors, tho result of a defalcation on the part of its cashier, Charles O'Brien, who is suppose I to have fled to Canada Elmer E. Horse, tho bookkeeper, is also missing The Pennsylvania Railroad Company announces the salo of individual mileage tickots for 2, COO miles at 2 cents a mile. It still continues the sale of 1,000-mile books at 2f cento. The Commissioner of Internal Revenue bos prepared a statement showing the amount of revenue coUeoted on liquors since the present system of internal revenue taxation went into effect. Sept 1, 1863, down to Juno 3, 1887. During this period there was collected from special taxes on distillers, $25,1:38,819; brewera, M, 933,383; rectifiers, 7,370,079; capacity tax on distillers under a law laying a tax of (3 per barrel on distilleries having a distilling capacity exceeding a certain fixed amount 87,882,487. The production of distilled spirits during this time was 1,606,865,104 gallons, and of fermented liquors 369,719,783 barrela The amount of tax collected on the spirits was 41,099,379,080, and on the fermented liquors 349,248,11ft FIRES ANDAGCIDENTS. A Tocoma (W, T ) special says: "Fourteen Chinamen left Victoria in a small boat for the Ban Juan Islands, thence to smuggle themselves onto the mainland of Washington Territory. The boat upset when near the islands. All hands were drowned and their bodies were washed up on shore." Near Emus, Texas, two girls, daughters of William William, and a young man named Babbitt were skating when the ice gave way and they sank in seven feet of water. Miss Babbitt and two little girls, 9

and 18 years old, daughters of William Williams, and Mr. Williams, a brother of tho young ladies, were also engulfed and drowned in attempting to rescue them. A fire occurred at Tower, Minn., and dozen persons perished A dispatch from tbo scene of the horror gives the following meager particulars: Fire broke out in the Barnaby boarding house and saloon, onithe main street of tho town, and before the inmates could bo awakened the structure was a sheet of flames. Twelve men are known to have been burned to death. The bodies token out were burnod to a crisp and entirely unrecognizable. When the danger was fully understood tbo scene in the house was terrible. Men fought with each other in the narrow j assagoways like wild beasts in their endeavor to reach an exit first, the consaquenoe being that most of those engaged in the struggle perished. Una escaped, and tells the story of the panic. A friend and room-mate of one of tiie boarders, who w as laid up with rheumatism, trio-1 to net : his partner out. He got him as tnr as the iront door, and finding that locked kioked it oien. Turning around he oould not face the i'mnies, and was compelled to let his companion perirh, and barely escaped with his own life. The mercury was Si" below zero, and ab- 1 solu..-ly nothing could be done to extinguish ' the flames. Of the men taken from the ruins ' two wero found lying together in one oorncr of i tho building, in a way that indicated that they I had suffocated in bed. The otheis are thought to have been caught on the stairs leudinr liom i the third floor in their efforts to escape. H me ! o" the men who escaped from the tliirc t.tnty say there were eight or ten men boh ml iln in in tho hallway. Most of the dead were woodmen. Fire destroyed coffeo-mills at Montreal, i Can., valued at 1200,000. Damage to the amount of 100,000 was the i result of a fire in the Sogers Locomotive ' Works, at Patersou, N. J.

THE CRIMINAL RECORD. James E. Nowlin was hanged at (Ismbridge jail, Boston, Friday last, for the murder, January 4, 1887, of his owployor, Georgo A. Codmsn. Four masked men, all heavily armed, rode up to the door of the Citizens' Bank at Limestone, Indian Territory, and demounted. The leader entered the bank, and presenting a pistol at tho head of the cashier, W. T. iipynolde, demanded that he turn over the rash ou hand While pretending to comply, lloynol Is slammed tbo door of tliovafo to and tin ned the look. He was at onco laid out by a lm lot from the pistol of one of liio desporado.'i. which struck hiin above tlio Heart, killing hiui iuatantlv. The bank was then ransacked and all t!Se money in tbo ca-di-drawor, some 2,300 was taken. An attempt hub rosdo to open the safe, but in this the robbers wr

foiled As the sound of the pistol-shots was heard several people came running toward the bank to ascertain tho cause of the trouble. They were fir.xl upon by three of the men who wero ou guard, and retreated to get arms. In a few minutes the town was aroused, and twenty or thirty armed men hurried toward tho bank. Tho robbers were just mounting their horses, and a hot fire started, in which one of the robbers, Thomas Evan, was killed outright. In tho melee four citizens wero wounded, but not fatally. 1 ho three surviving robbers thou rode away with the booty captured They were pursued and captured Tho leader was promptly hauged and ibo othor two turned over to the United Slates authorities. A Washington dispatch states that the Supreme Court of tho United States has rendered a decisiou in the caoe of Hugh M. Brooks, alias W. H. Maxwell, against the Stats of Missouri. This is the famous Maxwell-Proller mutd case. Brooks, or Maxwell, the plaintiff in error, is now iu prison in the city of St. Louis under sentence of death for the murder of C. Arthur Trailer, in April, 1SS5. Tho case was brought 4o this court upon a writ of error to the Supreme Court of Missouri, ana the decision here is upon a motion made by tbo Attorney General of that State to dismiss for want of jurisdiotion. This court is unable, utter a careful examination of the record, to find that the plaintiff in error has been deprived of any right, privilege or immunity guaranteed to him by the Constitution ot t'tc United States, and the motion to dismiss f)- want of jurisdiction is therefore granted. The decision was announced by Chief Justice Wuito, and its effect is to affirm the sentence of death pronounced by tho State Court. Dan Driscoll, the leader of a band of desperate New York criminals, known as the "Whyos," wa hauged in that city on Monday for the murder of his mistress, Boozie Garrity.

Figures Show that the Old Motto, "To the Viotora Belong the Spoils," Still Lives and Prospers. We present below an abstract of Senater Hale's able speech in suppott of his resolution for the appointment of a select committee to examine into the present condition of the civil service. The Maine Senator said: At the commencement of Mr. Lincoln's nlminiataation tha public offices wero filled with tae adherents of that party whioh was the exponent of the doctrine that to the victors belong the spoils. Under that administration the

cnier test oi ntneas was loyalty. Not few f those then appointed had within the lost three years been turned on the cold charities of the world to make place for men who never had sympathy with the principles -of which Mr. Lincoln had stood as the great representative. Gen. Grant and President Hayes bad during their administrations recognized the growing sentiment of the country in favor of civilservice reform, and hod endeavored to conform appointments to the reasonable demand of that agitation. The Forty-seventh Congress (Kapublioan) had enacted the civil-service statute, and President Arthur had, with sincere good faith, appointed tbe Civil Service Commissioners and gave support and encouragement to them. But he was content to do it in a quiet way. H he (Hale) were to make any contrast between President Arthur's course on that subject and the course which has since been pursued, it would be simply to call attention to the fact that President Arthur made no proclamations, no promises, no pledges, but contented himself with carrying out tho law according to its purpose and spirit Both the great parties in 18t4 declared themselves iu their platforms in favor of civil-service reform, but as tho campaign progressed it was seen that a considerable body ot men who had before that affiliated with the Republican party, had determined to oppose Its candidate, and it soon became dear that not only was that body of men bent on oppoilng the Republican candidate but was looking about for reasons to BUPDOrt his (lOl)nnent. rinnmni. niMVf.lfl.nr1

many mills have shut down. Fears aro en

"'How much is still owing Gen. Butler, Koger A. Pryor, and J. Randolph Tuoker for their work for the anarchists?' was asked of Editor Deus, of tho Arbeiter ZeUttng," says a

Chicago telegram.

Mr. Cleveland's declarations In that mitmp!

had their effect. In the close States they had Influence enough on tbe voters to be deoisive of the result, and Mr. Cleveland was elected President. Mr. Hale quoted from an interView with Mr. Cleveland, puUisned in Boston in 1883, in which Mr Cleveland is represnted as saying : "I have tried to be true to my own pledges and the pledges of my party. We both promised to divorce the offices of the country from being used for party services. " Therj they had, as clearly as words could give them, the pledgee of the civil-service reformers. That administration had been elected, as Mr. George W. Curtis and others had frequently asserted, on the strength of such pledges. He (Hale) had never believed in tbe sincerity of

"I dont know exactly the sum which every I these pledges, because, if the Democratic

16 of them is claimluo. but I nresutne it I Party believed in any one thing more than

one of them is elainilna. but I nresutne

amonnts altogether to about SI.UOO." he replied.

"As far as Mr. Tucker is concerned, there can be no complaints made. A few days ago be

in another it was the doctrine that -to the

victors belong the spoils." He had before him a

American history. It oould not be said that

most oi taose changes took place becanso of the expiration of tbe terms of the inenmbents, because scrutiny disclosed the fact that nineteen-twentieths of all the cases where changes had occurred were places where there was no fixed tenure of office, but where the incumbouts were removable at the pleasure ot of the President, Secretary Lamar had recently taen occasion to commend John C. Calhoun for his position against the spoils system and had feiloiteted himself on tho fact that he belonged to an-administratiun which was carrying out in that respeot the principles of Calhoun. And yet the stem facts which confronted the Senate iu the department presided over by Mr. Lamar were that every Territorial Governor bad been removed; sixteen out of eighteen portion agents, every surveyor general, lour-fifihs of the local land officers, najis-tenths of the Indian inspectors and agents, seventy-nine out of eighty-three special agents of tbe general land ollico, and two-thirds of thesi eoial examiners In the pension office. And yet Mr. Lamar stood to-day, by his uttered words, as against the spoils system, and posed as a reformer. Passing to tbe question of the participation of Federal officials in political conventions and elections, Mr. Hale referred to tbe meeting of tbe New York, Pennsylvania, and Maryland (state Committee.-., at all of which prominent Federal officials had been active participants. Mr. Hawley asked whether Mr. Hale was sure that there had been no removals in these cases. Mr. Hale replied that he bos yet to learn not only of any removals but of any censures. In some cases the officials had been promoted, and in no case had there been a change made except accidentally or on account of something entirely disconnected with the administration. He did not know a case whore the President

I can put a strong nana upon any ot tness men, j and made it s em that be wanted to perform what he promised. In fact, so gross had been the violation of every principle of reform anil I of the direct pledges of the President, that even the Evening 'o;., of New York, had said of those things that they would be used in the campaign there with terrible effect. The President bad not hesitated himself to deal deadly I blows at the cause of reform. I In this connection Mr. Hale referred to the ! recent municipal election in New York, when I Mr. Fellows and Mr. NIcoll were candidates for tbe oUioe of District Attorney, and iu which

campaign all the papers, tho Civil Service Reform Association, and tbo merchants and bust, ness men had ospousod the candidacy of Mr. Kicoll. He spoke of Mr. Fellows as an old, broken-down politician, whose character was none too high, and who bad been the crony and beneficiary of Tweed in days of tbe worst corruption that ever disgraced Now York City. Here was an opportunity for the president to have done something in the cause of reform. Here was an onnortnnitv for him to have

I stretched out his hand to the men of Now York 1 who were flsthting against corruption and

lipainst thieves and robbers and bribe-elvers and bribe-takers in the oause of good government : but those who believed they would do so had boeu bitterly disappointed. Tbe President eeeuied to hare found himself at that time in complete acoord and bar iouy with the leaders of the New York City Democracy, whose nrin-

i ciple it has always been to support regular I nominations and shoot down deserters. Tho attiution ot the uuolo country bos been foc i. .1 on that contest, which had aaiumed an ; attitude of national importance. At tho grout ratification meeting whioh woa bold iu Ne w orkCity, uuder the patronago of Tammany Hall, for the purpose of ratifying the nominations, a lotter hod been read from . President Cleveland, regretting his inability ; to be pt'.-.ent, and expressing the hope that i every candidate on the excellent ticket uf ' the I 'nitcd Democracy might be triumphantly ' elected, lint tli ."resident bad not stopped with bis letter road 'xi the ratification mteting.

satisfaction must be that be had seme lata closer acoord with tho laa-'ors of the party, that they now accepted lmu ; that Senators who two years ago had been denouncing his impracticable theories were to-day most earnestly :n his favor, and that in the future he would be called upon to make but few more promises. Passing on to the subject ot political assessments, Mr Hale quoted from the Washington which he spoke of as the organ of the administration, of tha lit ot November last, iu regard to the collection of contributions for the New York campaign, and also a communication in the Washing m ttepubliatn, describing how assessments for that campaign were being levied in tbe Government I'r ntlng Office. From all this nomotblng ought now to be plainly seen by every man who is not stone blind. Tho value of the cry of "Civil-Service Reform" had osassil to be of any estimation iu the minds of tbe leaders of the Democratic parly. Its canvasses would hereafter go on in the old-fashioned way. The iuilueuce of tbe administration would be as peuetrat ug, at controlling iu all the States, in party inana jeiueut, as it had ever been iu tho old palmy days of Democracy before the war. Wielding a controlling influence, marking out the paths of the party, shaping its oourse, breaking down opposition, enforcing discipline, deriding and defying the ordors against partisan activity, would be found tbe Immense body of Fe leral officeholders as obedient to the orders of the administration as were tho Janissaries to tbe bidding of an Eastern despot, 'this year the -land would rock with the efforts ou behalf ot the Presidential candidates. Ho affirmed his belief, and eutured the prediction that no means and no "PPliancos that had been in years past used by too Democratic party would fail to be resorted to this year. Intimidation, outrage, murder, if needed, wonld open again a bloody grave in whioh would be entombed anew the free ballot of the South, The immense mass of officeholders would be marshaled to the oondict, and would be seen and heard and felt everwnere. Nor would it stop there. Every piece of work performed by contract for the Government would be levied upon for political contributions, and every man who did work uuder such contracts would be called upon to add his vote to his labor for the wages he received. No government building would be erected whose workshop would not be made a recruiting place for the Democratic party ; no war ship would be built from whose ship-yard would not be issued ou election day streams of Democratic voters. There was no device, no plan of campaign ever resorted to by the Democratic party in the days of Polk, Pierce and Buchanan which would not be resorted to this year. "The thing whioh has beenris the thing whioh will be, and there will be found ao new thing under the sun." The means, and appliances, and practices ot the Democratic party would all be resorted to In its desperate attempt to retain Its bold ou (he National Government, la the meantime where would toe Independents be?

What the League Is For. Too many efforts have been made to hare it appear that the recent convention of Republican clubs in New York had a purpose to influence sentiment in behalf of one or mother candidate for the Presidential nomttion. Esteemed Democratic contemporaries have been (be most active in this arduous labor, but they have never been quite able to agree as to what candidate was to bef benefited by the organization. If there has been any misunderstanding in other quarters it has bsen clearly through want of information and knowledge of the real purpose of the meeting. The origin of that convention was to further the work of extending and stimulating the organization of Republican clubs throughout the country. This was perfeotly well understood by the overwhelming majority, and, it is presumed, by all of those who participated in it. That purpose was not for a moment lost sight of, and no effort was made at any time which could be construed into a scheme to divert the convention from its object. Any such attempt, no matter in whoso interest undertaken, would have met with instant and unqualified condemnation. The meeting was full of the best life and enthusiasm, and the harmony whioh characterized it was the result of tha broad party spirit influencing it. The work accomplished was in tha direct line of the purpose for whioh the convention met.' It organized a Republican league, and the single work of the officers and of the whole organization will be to stimulate the organization of Republican clubs. Asiy other work would be '.eign to the purpose iu view. These .ubs will not c onstitute the party machinery, but they aro destined to became a valuable auxiliary to it in the work of the party. They ore not organized to name a candidate for President; they are organized to eleot the candidate nominated by the National Convention. No misrepresentation can change these facts, and no misrepresentation will. If there were anywhere in the organization a desire to proceed otherwise it would prove futile, as it is too huge and too independent to be used in any man's interest. The work ahead is of a very important character, and there is enough of it to require a gre tt deal of time and energy in its accomplishment. It is to this, as cut out by the conveution, to which the officers who have been intrusted with a most responsible duty must bend their efforts. Every shade of thought or sentiment in the party oan earnestly aid in that. The organization will not destroy its inflnenos by seeking the advancement of any candidate for nomination; it will do its utmost to restore the administration of the Government to the hands of the Republican party. Philadelphia Press. Lamar's Confirmation. In the vote against Lamar's aonnrmation is expressed the North s mistrust of his absolute repentance of the treasonable views he once held in regard to the Constitution. The twenty-eight Senators who voted "No" are all Republicans, it is true, and th;ir action may be construed into partisanship, but there was much more than partisanship in the sentiment behind their votes. It waa the feeling that the interpretation of the Constitution oould not safely be intrusted to any man who had onoe 'abjured its supremacy, and who within three years had defended the leader in the secession movement from the stigma of treason. To-day there is an associate justioe of the Supreme Court (who holds that Jeff ergon Davis was not a traitor, and he has secured that position by the votes of Republican senators. The Democrats of the Senate alone could not have confirmed Lamar. That they voted solidly for his confirmation is to their discredit, and signifies that no Democratic senator had the independence of character to act outside of party lines or to respond to the almost uni-

versal loyal demand tor nis rejection, nan Senators Voorhees and Turpie been true to the loyal electors of Indiana Lamar would not have been confirmed. In his confirmation Lamar's transgression aeainst the Constitution has been finally

and magnanini isly forgiven. He is now

bound bv eve i v --ntment of gratitude to

vindicate the choice of the President and tbe decision of the Senate by unswerving adherence to the Constitution as interpreted by the decision of the war. Chicago News.

tionai Ieglslavtarw. Ma. Hawley, of Connecticut, offered a re so. lutlon in the Senate on the 19th inst., which was adopted, directing the Secretary ot the Interior to report a plan of legislation thought by him to be needed for tho disposition of the public timber lauds so as to secure the preservation of the national forest lands at the headwaters of navigable rivers, and to nut within tha rights of settlers legal means of providing themselves with timber for building their homes. Adopted. Senator Stockbridge Introduced a bill appropriating 1100,000 for a public building at Grand Haven, Mich. Bills authorizing tbe construction of bridges at Lexington, Mo., and Burlington, Iowa, were reported to the Senate and placed on the calendar. The Senate adopted Mr. Manderson's resolution calllux on tbe Secretary of War for Information regarding the construction of a bridge at Omaha. The Senate spent moat of the day In seeret session at work on Its calendar of treaties. Those of chief consequence are the British, Hussion, and Dutch extradition treaties. It la underStood that the treaty with the Netherlands was ratified. Another unsuccessful effort was made lathe House to consider tbe Wilatni Banking blti;-and attar half an' hour's ftUbastsSfmifthe matter went over. The Committee on Appropriations reported the regular annual pension bill to the House. The bill appropriates SW,178,500. The Thoebe-Caxllale contested election ease came up in the House of Itepreseutatives Jan. 20. Mr. Crisp of Georgia opened the debate by reviewing the proceedings before the Committee on Elections. He justified tbe majority of the committee in deciding that the case should not be reopened. Mr. Ljiuis (Iowa) knew of no rooson why the House should not reopen the case. Grave charges had been made by the contostantin affidavits ex-porte affidavits, it was true and they bad been answered by OChci c.-parte affidavits. Strong elloits bad been made to prevent an investigation or these charges. Were tbe contestee and ids friends afraid of the truth. Mr. Cooper j. i spoke in support of the majority report. It had been charged that there was a oonspirocv immediately after the election between Mr. Carlisle and his friends for the purpose of fixing up the matter for Carlisle a charge that was proved to be wholly unfounded and based merely on the idle chaff widen was frequently found floating around in the atmosphere after an election. Mr. Bewail of Illinois took the same view. Mr. Lodge ot Massachusetts spoke In support of the minority. The pending case, he said, waa too important to be settled by affidavit. On motion of Mr, Crisp, Thoebe, the contestant, was granted an hour la which to present aa argument in his own behalf. Mr. Lyman of Iowa offered resolution providing for a tall investiJotion ot the ease, but it was deeated by a vote of 125 te 11, seven Democrats voting in the affirmative. On the majority report, refusing an investigation. Republicans refrained from voting, and the matter went over. There was an exciting scene in the House. In the debate over tne Melbourne Exposition bill Judge KeUey intimated that Mr. Springer ef Illinois sought a fee for his aeaviees in securing a decision in the Supreme Court against the Philadelphia Centennial. Mr. Springer got up and vehemently denied the insinuation. Mr. Kelley then reiterated the charge, amid great exottement. There was an evident misunderstanding, and a good many hard words spoken before it was cleared up. Mb. Carer, of Georgia, called an the Thoebe cose in the House of Representative en the 21st ot January, the pending question being on the resolution of the majority ef the Committee on Elections confirming Mr, Carlisle's title to bis seat. The vote resulted, yeas 1st), nays S: ao 3uorum.

Baker (111.), Brewer, Buchanan, Cheadle, Hovey, Kerr, and Laldlaw, Republicans,'! the negative. Mn. Pai.hu addressed the Senate Jan. Si on the subject of the bill introduced by him to regulate immigration. Mr. Hoar called up Mr. German's motion to reconsider the vote referring the President's message on the Pacific reports to a special committee of five Senators. After considerable discussion a motion to refer the matter to the Hatlroad Committee, made by Mr. Davis, was rejected. The original resolution was modified by increasing the membership of the seloct committee to seven and it was then adopted yeas, 54 ; nays, 13, Among the bills introduced In tbe Senate were the following: By Senator Plamb, for the extension of the southern and western boundaries of Kansas so as to include the public land strip ; by Senator Wilson of Iowa, to amend the jpostoffice appropriation act of Marsh 3, 1879, so as to provide that publications of the second class may be transmitted through the mails free of charge to subscribers who live in another county but receive their mail In tha county In whioh the publication is issued ; by Mr. Hoar, to change the time of meeting of the long session of Congress to the first Monday la October, and of the short session to the second Monday in November; by Mr. Voorhees, for the formation and admission of tbe State of Montana.

Also, whether In making such discharges regard has been had to the statute giving preference in employment to honorably discharged soldiers.

Congressional Morals Improving. Along with the improvement in social ethics, which tbe increased home life of Congressmen indicates, the tone of Congress has been wonderfully raised, even in the last ten years. Tbe old

bogie of Congressmen getting drunk, and sleeping off the effects in the cloak-rooms, to swagger upon the floor unkempt and unshorn, is entirely vanished. It is no longer a joke for a Congressman to make his appearance at the Capitol or anywhere in Washington the least tipsy. In the rare cases when it happens in Congress the member's friends hustle him off the floor, pack him into a carriage and drive him to the safest place where it oan be kept quiet, and the whole thing is treated as it should be a a scandal and a disgrace that every friend the culprit has is interested in hushing up. Then the gleeful ghouls are always in the press gallery, ready to expose such things and thb sentiment of the age is wholly opposed to it. The gambling and drinking of forty years ago would not be tolerated for an instant to-day; and taken as a whole the Congrees of the I nited States is as orderly and well-regulated as any body of men in tho world. There are men in it who rank as "steady drinkers," but they generally belong to the old regime, and their drinking is of the kind that does not produoa drunkenness. Pomona, Fla., has a genuine curiosity in the form of a double-headed snake. It is evidently only a few daya old, is about eight inches in length and the thickness of a lead pencil. It has two perfectly formed heads, the junction being at the neck, making two prongs about three-quarters of an inch in length. It takes its meals from either orifice with equal relish.
