SHORT OF VOTES.

Action on the McCreary Rasolutions Delayed.

DEMOCRATS FAIL TO GET A QUORUM.

The Committee's Minority Report Censuring the Administration ami Favoring Annexation of Hawaii

Voted Down.

CLOSE OF THE HAWAIIAN DEBATE. WASHINGTON, Feb. 7.—The Hawaiian debate was concluded Tuesday, but the McCreary resolution was not passed because of the failure 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 p'aced upon its passage.

Hov. Tliey Voted.

The Ilitt substitute, the Blair amendment and the motion made by Mr. Reed 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 entire resolution, the republicans refrained from voting, and the democrats lacked seventeen of a quorum, Mr. Cumtnings (dem., N. Y.) voted for Mr. lleed's motion to recommit the resolution and Mr. Sickles (dem., 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.

Til© Voting liegins.

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. H.) 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. Ilitt's (rep., 1'n.) substitute for the McCreary resolutions, declaring that the president has made an unwarranted demand on the provisional government contrary to the law of nations and the policy of the United States, and that that government should be let alone and protected from foreign intervention. The roll call resulted: Yeas 102 nays 15'J.

Mr. Reed (rep., Me.) moved that the resolutions be recommitted to the committee with instructions to investigate the subject, with full opportunity to cross-examine witnesses by members of the committee. On a division the vote was announced: Yeaa, 98 nays, ItiO.

Mr. Broderick (Kan.) was the only republican who declined to follow the leader of his party and refrain from voting. 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.

The MoCrear.v Resolution.

The vote then occurred on the McCreary resolution, which is as follows: "Resolved, 1. That It is the sense of this house that the action of the United 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 contrary to the traditions of our republic and the spirit of our constitution, and should be, and is, condemned.

That we heartily approve the principle announced by the presidentof the United Suites that interference with the domestio affairs of an independent nation 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 them by our government is uncalled for and inexpedient: that the people of that country should have absolute freedom and independence iin pursuing their own line of policy, and that foreign intervention in the political affairs of the islands will not be 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.) and Geary (dem., Cal.) did not vote, refusing to place themselves on record for or against the resolution.

Couldn't Get 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 by forcing a roll call upon this motion. The call of tbe house was ordered—158 to 58.

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 excuses Mr. Reed, of Maine, asked in succession 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.

Revoked All Leaves of Absence.

As soon as the call was completed after all the absentees had been excused 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 hia trouble for his pains and he accordingly made the point of order that under the «-.oecial order under which the hou?e was operating, a quorum having b«en disclosed, nothing was in order

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 G:85 tiie house adjourned.

KILLED FOR THE INSURANCE.

airs. I'arr Arrested Tor the Murder ol Her Husband at Denver, Col.

DKN'VKH, Col., Feb. 7.—Mrs. Carr, wife of ltarry L. Carr, the attorney, who was murdered at his home Sunday night by supposed burglars, was arrested Tuesday afternoon, charged with complicity in the crime. Bessie Sherwood, Jim Tracy, a gambler, and Ted Uolson, iriends 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 his life was wild and checkered. The dead man came here from Baltimore several years ago, where he left a wife and two children. He obtained a divorce here and married agaiu, his second wife committing suicide in this city a year and a half ago on account of domestic troubles. Six months later he met Miss Jennie Black, recently 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.

GEORGE W. CHILDS AT REST. PHii.AnKi.riUA, Feb. 7.—-George W. Childs' remains were laid at rest in the Drexel mausoleum iu 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 at first intended to have the funeral services private, but, yielding to the request of many friends, Mrs. 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.

Tlielr Last I.ook.

A brief service for the family and immediate friends was held at the house before the public service at the church. 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 the street to the church, where it was placed on a bier in front of the chancel rail.

At the Church.

The services in the church as well as those at the residence were conducted by Bishop Potter, of New York, assisted by Bishop W hi taker, of Philadelphia, Rev. Joseph 11. Blanchard, rector of St. James' church, and Dr. William B. Bodine, i«ctor of the Church of the Saviour, West Philadelphia.

UisMnguislied I'ull-Hearers.

Among the pall-bearers were the following: J. Pierpont Morgan, New York John R. MoLean, Washington: Cornelius Vanderbilt, New York: Gen. Horace Porter, New York Judge Edward Patterson, isew York Col. Frederiok D. Grant, New York: John Bigelow, New Yirk: Knoeli Pratt, Baltimore: Reverdy Johnson. Baltimore Gen. Felix Agnus, Baltimore Charles K. Mayer, Baltimore E. P. Wilbur, Bethlehem. Pa.

Beautiful Display of Flowers.

The black cloth casket was literally covered with pillows and wreaths of roses, lilies of the valley and other liowers. Such a display of flowers was probabljr never before seen at a funeral in Philadelphia. Nearly all the available space behind the chancel rail was occupied by these tributes of loving friends. Pillows, wreaths, crosses, broken columns and many other designs were displayed. Each department of the Public Ledger sent a different piece and there were offerings from numerous friends in this city, New York, Washington, Baltimore and other cities.

At the Cemetery.

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 cast upon the coffin the symbolical handful of earth, anil the mortal remains of George W. Childs had been consigned to the tomb.

KOY TKU.S HIS STOKY.

Cini'Atio, Feb. 7.— Dan Coughlin'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 bring Foy to the stand.

SIIJK

Mr*, llorton Drunk.

Mrs. .Bertha. Ilea vey was the first wit ncss of the. day. She .swore that on May 1-J she saw Airs, llorton sitting on the ground in her front yard iu an intoxicated condition. She also saw her drink beer out of a pail.

Andrew Foy TOHMMOS.

•'('all Andrew Foy," said Judge AVing, 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. Croiiip, look the stand and was sworn. Judge Wing asked Foy as to his age, nativity and occupation. He is a bricklayer and is t.-i years old. lie was e.:ol 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 st t-ret wa ter tunnel. The traveling and places of residence of Fov and his family since his arrival in America were gone over.

Foy said he was living at 1)1 Locust street in 18S'.i lie knew both Dr. Cronin and Daniel Coughlln and belonged to the same camp of Clan-na-Gaels as the latter. l)ciii'S

Mis Wife's Story.

Conghliu called at his residence twice in April to secure his inlluencc in electing a friend to ollicc. At neither of these visits did the witness and Couglilin hold whispered conversations. No part of their conversation related to Dr. Cronin.

Foy then related how, on May 12, he went to Ilorton'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 llorton house was made. About 0 o'clock in the evening witness, in company with John Boyle anil l'atriek McGreevey, left the Hortons' and went to Mt^Jreevey's, lie said. Boyle remained with Foy until they parted at Lincoln avenue. Mrs. llorton, Foy said, was considerably under the inlluence of liquor, and her husband was in the same condition. During his stay at Ilorton's nothing was said about Dr. Cronin. When witness got home that night some friends were there, and there might have been some reference to Cronin 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.

Kxpllcitly DenleH Ills Guilt. Returning to his experiences on May 1-, Foy said he did not see Coughlin at any time on that day. His wife had at various times accused him of being an anarchist and the man who threw the bomb at the Haymarket riot. She also, on one occasion, said that tlie man Kennedy who lived upstairs in his (Foy's) residence, was the man who drove the white horse.

Then Judge Wing asked tho crucial question: "Dili you, Andrew Koy, have anything on enrlh to do with the disappearance ana death of Dr. Cronin!'" •'I KUCHK not." "What do you mean by saying '1 guosu not?' askeii llio court. "1 am positive I hail not,'' rnpliuil tho witness. "Uid any persons on earth come to your housu to conspire against Dr. Cronin:-'' "No, sir." "Did Dan Couyhlln, so far as you now, have anything to do with thj disappearance or death of Dr. Cronin?" "To my knowledge, lio did not "Did yi.u over read to Dan Conghliu iu vour house a letter concerning Dr. Cronin?'' "1 did no!." vy'-Did Coughlin read such a letter to you':'' "lie diil not."

Did you live with and do ttie hrsl vou could for youi' family uutil your wife testiiled hcr! mid detectives were pui into your hoese?" 1 did." v'-Did you know Martin Burke?" uil1 "Was he ever at your house?" jf'-iie never was." "Do vou know Cooney?" did "vVlifn was hi? at your house?" "He never was at my house but. once— on May 1 -tt) lie caine to see if 1 could get ii,m work at the place when: 1 was working '1 his ended the direct examination.

CrosH-Kxauiiiied.

Mr. Bottum conducted the crossexamination. After questioning him as to his history prior to ihe 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 and 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 'iciiur. lie denied, having told his sou Thomas recently that tho testimony of John Boyle in defense of Coughlin was perjury- that it was given to save Foy, as things were getting desperate. He also denied having told Thomas that, had his mother not testified, he (witness) would have stopped drinking and would have given her $100.

Wan llomx May 4, 1889.

To further questioning Foy said that on the night of May 3. 18N9, he attended a meeting of camp 20 that on the night of May

4,

1880, and succeeding

nights he was at home in bed. He was not friendly with Dr. Cronin iinmedi ately prior to May 4. lie knew nothing of the eventa that took place in the Carlson cottage on the night of May 4.

except what he had read in the newspapers. Mr. Bottum then asked Foy if, in the presence of his wife, he did not write a letter to a newspaper purporting to give an account of the way Dr. Cronin died at the Carlson cottage. Foy answered no, and was shown a letter, which he denied was in his hand writ ing. an K\«M»l!cnf AVWIH'KS.

Foy made a capital witness, so far as appearance on the stand went. Ho kept his temper and only smiled when the state's attorney used specially insinuating or suggestive questions. Ho was good-humored through it all. Tho state will introduce in rebuttal threo of the Foy children, Kathleen, Thomas and Mathew, who will contradict their father, McKennn and O'Connor and will corroborate their mother's testimony. Mrs. Foy will be recalled and will identify the letter produced in court as having been written in her presence by Foy, read by her and sent to the newspaper by Foy in order to create a false opinion as to the crime.
