SHORT OF VOTES.

Action on the McOreary Resolutions Delayed.

DEMOCRATS FAIL TO GET A OUORUM.

The Committee's Minority Report Censuring (lie Administration and Favoring Annexation of Hawaii

Voted Uotro,

CLOSE or THE HAWAIIAN DEBATE. "WASHINGTON, Feb. 7.—The Hawaiian debate was conoluded Tuesday, but the McCreary resolution was not passed because of the fallure-of the democrats to secure a quorum when a vote was taken upon it. Much less opposition from the democratic side developed than was at one time anticipated. Only one speech, that of Gen. Sickles (dem., N. Y.), was made in opposition to the adoption of the resolution, although there was some passive opposition on the democratic side, as indicated by the refusal of several of the democrats to answer to their names when the resolution was placed upon its passage.

How They Voted.

The Hilt substitute, the Blair amendment and the motion made by Mr. lteed to recommit the resolution were in turn voted down. When the vote came to be taken upon the main question, however, the adoption of the entlrls resolution, the republicans refrained from voting, and the democrats lacked seventeen of a quorum, Mr. Cummingis (dem., N. Y.) voted for Mr. Reed's motion to recommit the resolution and Mr. Sickles (dein., N. Y.) against the McCreary resolution. Mr. Geary (dem., Cal.) and Mr. Cockrell (dem., Tex.) refused to go on record either for or against the adoption of the resolution. These were all the inindications of a break in party lines on the Hawaiian matter. The populists voted generally with the republicans.

XU« Voting Begins.

After addresses favoring the McCreary resolution by Messrs. Turner (dem., Ga.), De Forest (dem., Conn.) and Hooker (dem., Miss.), and opposing them by Messrs. Sickles (dem., N. Y.) and Hepburn (rep., Ia.) the voting began. The resolution by Mr. Blair (rep., .N. 11.) approving the recognition of the Hawaiian provisional government, and declaring for ultimate annexation, was defeated in the house—yeas, 90 nays, 155.

The yeas and nays were ordered on Mr. Hltt's (rep., 111.) substitute for tlie McCreary resolutions, declaring that the president has made an unwarranted demand on the provisional government oontrary to the law of nations and the policy of the United States, aud that that government should be let alone and protected from foreign intervention. The roll call resulted Yeas 102 nays 152.

Mr. Reed (rep., Me.) moved that the resolutions be recommitted to the committee with instructions to investigate the subject, wltli full opportunity to cross-examine witnesses by members of the committee. On a division the vote was announced! Yeas, 08 nays, 100.

Mr. Broderlck (Kan.) was the only republican who declined to follow the leader of his party arid refrain from •oting. He voted against the resolution. When the democrats found themselves without a quorum they passed a resolution revoking leaves of absence and then adjourned. They expect to have a quorum present when the house meets to-day.

Tlia McCreary Resolution.

The vote then occurred on the McCreary resolution, which Is as follows "Resolved, 1. That It 1s the sense of this house that the aotlon of the Unltod States minister In employing United States naval forces and Illegally aiding In overthrowing the constitutional government of the Hawaiian Islands in January, 1893. and setting up In its place a provisional government, republican In form, and In opposition to the will of a majority of the people, was oontrary to the traditions of our republic and the spirit of our constitution, and should be, and Is, oondemned. "2. That we heartily approve tlie principle announced by the presldeniof the United States that Interference with the domestic affairs of an Independent nut'-, Is contrary to the spirit of American Institutions. And It Is further the sense of this house that the annexation of the Hawaiian Islands to our country or the assumption of a protectorate over tbem by our government is uncalled for and inexpedient that the people of that country should have absolute freedom and Independence tin pursuing their own line of policy, and that foreign Intervention In the polliloal affairs of the islands will not ho regarded with Indifference by the government of the United States.

During the roll call the republicans, excepting Mr. Broderick, of Kansas, sat silent in their seats, refusing to answer to their names. The populists also declined to vote. Mr. Sickles voted squarely against the resolution, and Mr. Cummings (dem., N. Y.), Cockrell (dem., Tex.) andOeary (dem., Cal.) did not vote, refusing to place themselves on record for or uguinst the resolution.

Couldn't Oet A Quorum.

The vote resulted* 160 yeas to 2 nays. The democrats lacked seventeen of a quorum. Mr. McCreary immediately moved a call of the house. Mr. Reed followed up his programme b3r forcing a roll call upon this motion. The call of the house was ordered—158 to 68.

The call of the house developed the presence of 245 members, the republicans, of course, answering to their names. During the call of the names of absentees for exouses Mr. Reed, of Maine, asked in sucoession that each member who had failed to respond be excused. For thirty minutes, while these requests were being put to the house, Mr. Reed delayed procedings.

Bovoked AA Leaves of Absence. As soon as the call was completed after all the absentees had been exoused at the request of Mr. Reed, Mr. McCreary presented a resolution to revoke all leaves of absence except those granted on account of sickness, and instructing the sergeant-at-arms to telegraph absent members and request their attendance.

Mr. Reed saw that he was to have his trouble for his pains and ho accordingly made the point of order that under the special order under which the house was operating, a quorum having been disclosed, Dothing was In order

THE ORAWFORDSYILLE JOURNAL.

/save to proceed with the vote upon the resolution. Mr. Dockery (dem., Mo.) who was in the chair, overruled the point' of order on the ground that under a call of the house, notwithstanding the presence of a quorum, it was competent for the house to send for absentees. The resolution was adopted without division, and at 6:85 the house adjourned.

KILLED FOR THE INSURANCE.

Mr*, t'urr Arrested for the Murder ol HerHusbanl at Denver, Col. DBNVEB, Col., Feb. 7.—Mrs. Carr, wife of Harry L. Carr, the attorney, who was murdered nt his home Sunday night by supposed burglars, was arrested Tuesday afternoon, charged with complicity In the crime. Bessie Slierwood, Jim Tracy, a gambler, and Ted Dolson, friends of Mrs. Carr, were also taken into custody. The theory upon which the arrests were made is that these people entered into a conspiracy to make away with Carr for the purpose of securing possession of his life insurance, which is said to amount to *20,000.

Mr. Carr was one of the most prominent lawyers in the city, but Ills life was wild and clieokered. The dead man came here from Baltimore several years ago, where he left a wife aud two children. Ho obtained a divorce here and married again, his second wife committing suicide in this city a yea: aud a half ago on acoount of domestic troubles. Six months later he met Miss Jennie Black, recontly arrived from Buffalo, N. Y. Becoming infatuated, he married her January 8, 1893. Since her marriage it is well known that Mrs. Carr has been leading a dual life, making the room of her friend, Miss Sherwood, a rendezvous where she met Tracy and Dolson.

IrniJresslve Ceremonies Rt Funeral of Mr Childs.

Ills Friend.

GF.OKOK W. CHILDS AT KKST. PHILADELPHIA, Feb. ".—George W. Childs' remains were laid at rest In the Drexel mausoleum in Woodland cemetery beside those of his closest friend and business companion, Anthony J. Drexel, who died but a few months ago. Almost Inseparable in life it was deemed fitting that they should rest together in death, although it was not known that any request to that effect had ever been made by Mr. Childs. It was Rt first intended to have the funeral services private, but, yielding to the request of many friends, Sirs. Childs finally consented to a public funeral and the services were held at 1 p. m. Tuesday in St. James Protestant Episcopal church, which Is directly opposite the residence of the dead philanthropist at Walnut and Twenty-second streets, and of which Mr. Childs had been an honored member and vestryman for many years.

Their Last Look.

A brief service for the family and immediate friends was held at the house before tho public service lit the chnrcli. At Its conclusion those present were given an opportunity to take a last look at the face of the one they loved, and from which death had not effaced the generous, kindly look. Then the casket was tenderly borne out from the white marble mansion and across tho street to the church, where it was placed on a bier in front of the chanoel rail.

At the Cliuroli.

The services in the church as well as those at the residence were conducted by Bishop Potter, of New York, assisted by Bishop Whitaker, of Philadelphia, Rev. Joseph H. Blanchard, rector of St. James' church, and Dr. William B. Bodlne, rector of the Church of the Saviour, West Philadelphia.

UtHllugulnhed Pall-.Hearers. Among the pall-bearers were the following:

J. Pierpom Morgan, New York John MoLeati, Washington Cornelius VanderbUt, New York Gen. Horaoe Porter, New York Juage Edward Patterson, rsow York: OoL Frederick D. Grant, New York John Blgelow, Nsw York Enoch Pratt, Baltimore Reverdy Johnson, Baltimore Gen. Felix Agnus, Baltimore Charles F. Mayer, Baltimore: E. P. Wilbur, Bethlehem. Pa.

Iteauttful Display of Flower*. The black cloth casket was literally covorod with pillows and wreath* of roses, lilies of the valley and other flowers. Such a display of flowers wa6 probably never before seen at a funeral" In Philadelphia. Nearly all the available space behind the chnncel rail was occupied by these tributes of loving friends. Pillows, wreaths, crosses, broken columns and many other designs were displayed. Kach department of the Public Ledger sent a different piece and there were offerings from numerous friends in this city, New Yoj'lt, Washington, Baltimore and oilier cities.

At tho Cemotet'y

The services at the cemetery were private and very brief. There was a prayer, the casket was placed in the crypt prepared for It, Mr. Paul oast upon tho cotlip the_ symbolical handful of earth, and the mortal remains of tieorge W. Child* had been consigned to the tomb.

ROUTED THE THIEVES.

I wii I-hirky Girls Victors In a Desperate llattle With llurirlars. ST. LOUIS, Fob. 7.—Two girls in the southern part of the city had a battle with two burg-lars at an early hoar, in which the burglars came off sec-ond-best. The two thieves en tered the home of Miss Christine Dulirer, on Park avenue, and entering her room made an attack with hatchets upon her and her room-mate, Miss Maggie Sanford. A desperate fight followed, in which Miss Duhrer succeeded in getting hold of her revolver and putting a bullet into her assailant. She then fired upon Miss Sanford's foe, but did not strike him. The burglars lied, one with a wound which will help to catch him. The women are badly but not seriously hurt.

HE DENIES THE STORY OF HIS WIFE.

Questioned Closely at* to 111* Altered Complicity In the Murder of Dr. Croultt, He Strongly Amurts HU lu. noccnof.

TOY TKtXS HIS STOKV.

CHICAGO, Feb. 7.—Don Coughlln's attorneys created something of a sensation by putting Andrew Foy upon the stand to refute the damaging testimony of his wife. Outside of Coughlin, Mrs. Foy's most direct charges were against, her husband, and it was absolutely necessary for the defense to briug Foy to the stand.

SAys Mrs. Horton Was Drnnk. Mrs. Bertha Hea ve.v was the first wit ness of the day. She swore that on May 12 she saw Mrs. Horton sitting ou the ground in her front yard in an Intoxicated condition. She also saw her drink beer out of a pail.

Andrew Foy Tenures.

•'Call Andrew Foy," said Judge Wing, and the man who seems, according to his wife's testimony, to be inextricably entangled in the meshes of the mystery that, surrounds the murder of Dr. Crouln, too! the stand and was sworn. Judge Wing asked Foy as to his age, nativity and occupation. He IB a briekluyer aud is 15 years old. He was c.3ol and self-pos-sessed and scanned the jury closely. Foy said he is now working for the city as an inspector of the brickwork at the Sixty-eighth street water tunnel. The traveling aud places of residence of Foy and his family since his arrival in America were gone over.

Foy said he was living at 91 Locust street in 1889. He knew both Dr. Cronln'and Daniel t'oughlin and belonged to the same camp of Clan-na-Gaels as the latter.

Denies His Wife's Story.

Coughlin called at his residence twice iu April to secure his influence In electing a friend to office. At neither of these visits did tho witness and Coughlin hold whispered conversations. No part of their conversation related to Dr. Cronln.

Foy then related how, on May 12, he went to Horton's to help build the new house, being asked to assist because of his skill as a layer of pressed brick, of which the front of the Horton house was made. About 0 o'clock In the evening witness, in company with John Boyle and Patrick McGreevey, left the Hortons' and wont to McGreevey's, he said. Boyle romained with Foy until they parted at Lincoln avenue. Mrs. Itortou, Foy said, was considerably under the Influence of liquor, and her husband was In the same condition. During his stay at Horton's nothing was said about Dr. Cronln. When witness got home that, night some friends were there, and there might have been some reference to Cronln In their conversation, but he could not remember It. Foy admitted that he had not lived with his wife since her appearance as a witness for the prosecution.

Explicitly Denies Uls (lullt. Returning to his experiences on May 12, Foy said he did not see Coughlin at any timo on that day. His wife had at various times accused him of boinjj an anarjhlst and the man who threw the bomb at the Hay market riot. She also, on one occasion, said that, the man Kennedy who lived upstairs In his (Foy's) residence, was the man who drove the white horse.

Then Judge Wing asked tlie crucial question "Did you, Andrew Foy, Imvo anything on earth to do with ths disappearance and doath of Dr. Cronln t" "I guess not" "What do you mean by saying 'I guess not?' asked the court am positive I had not," replied the witness. "Did any persons on earth oome to your house to conspire against I)r. CronlnV" "No, sir." "Did Dan Coughlin, so far as you know, have anything to do with the disappearance or death of Dr. Crontn!" "To my knowledge he did not." "Did you ever read to Dan Ooughlln In your house a letter concerning Dr. CronlnV "I did not." "Did Coughlin read such a letter to you?" "Hedid not." "Did you live with and do the best you oould for your family until your wife testified bore and detectives were put into your house?" "I did." "Did you know Martin Burke?" "I did." "Was he ever at your house?" "He never was." "Do you know Cooney?" ••I dirt "When was ho at your house?" "He never was at my bouse but once—on May S2, 1689. He eume to seo If I oould get htm work at the place where 1 wss working

This ended the direct examination. Cross-Ex a mined. Mr. Bottum conducted the crossexamination. After questioning him a6 to his history prior to the event which has brought him into such prominence, the attorney asked Foy how many children he had. After studying for some time, the witness stated that he thought, dead aud living, his offspring numbered fifteen. Asked if he had given one cent towards the support of his family since Mrs. Foy testified, he admitted that he had not contributed money but had told his grocer to let them have all the goods they wanted. He denied that he had since countermanded that ordffr, Jifi denied having. taM his son
