TALKS ON MWI. 4 First of Debate Irt the House Proves Disapi>oiMting. LOOKING FOR AN OPENING. Senator Veit Will Try to Revive the Sagar Fight If an Opportunity Present*. ' Mr. Turple Characterise! the Nicaraguan Bill a* a Gorgeous Bubble—New Charges Against Recorder of Deed*. Washington, Dec. 19.—The discussion on the Carlisle currency bill began in the house yesterday, but the opening of the debate was a disappointment. It lacked both spirit and interest and was devoid of sensational features. Mr. Springer, chairman of the banking and currency committee, gave a plain statement of its objects, its details and a review of the arguments in its favor on the lines of those contained in the report. Mr. Walker, the leader of the minority of the committee, devoted most of his time to an elaboration of his own bill. As usual, he was incisive, emphatic and aggressive, and the house gave him close attention. Mr. Hall, a Democratic member of the committee from Missouri, closed the debate for the day. An effort to agree upon the limitations of the debate failed today and it will probably be allowed to run the remainder of the week without a vote. After the holidays the committee on rules will, unless the measure loses caste in the meantime, bring in a rule to close the debate and force a vote. VEST’S DESIRE. He Is Looking For an Opening For Revival of the Sdgar Schedule. Washington, Dec. 19.—Senator Vest was engaged the greater part of yesterday in trying to find an opening for the revival of his effort to get up the bill striking out the differential duty on refined sugar. He is not satisfied with the adverse result of his former trial and is now quoted as saying that he wants another opportunity to test the pleasure of the senate on this proposition. The outlook for an early move in this direction is not very good, for it is understood that Senator Turpie when he shall conclude his Speech on Nicaragua will be. followed by Senator Morgan, who will also probably talk at length in reply. If the opportunity prese ’ts itself, however, there is little doubt ; lat Mr. Vest will take advantage of it. GORGEOUS BUBBLE. So Turpi© Calls the Nicaragua Canal Bill In Continuing His Speech. Washington, Dec. 19.—Another resolution providing for union with Canada made its appearance in the senate yesterday, having been introduced by Mr. Gallinger of New Hampshire. Senator Hill delivered a speech on his proposition for a rule to close debate, which was listened to with close attention by many of the senators. Mr. Turpie continued his speech in denunciation of the Nicaraguan cdnal bill, declaring that it ap- ■ peared to him to have every indication of a gorgeous bubble. An urgency deficiency bill appropriating SIOO,OOO for public printing and binding was passed’. VOORHEES AGAINST IT. Indiana’s Senator Announces a Purpose to Oppose the Carlisle Bill. Washington, Dec. 19.—Senator Voorhees has caused himself to be credited ■with making the statement that he will oppose the Carlisle currency reform bill when it reaches the senate. Being chairman of the senate committee on finance, this declaration is of considerable importance, as it indicates an opposition to the measure that was not expected by its friends. Tarpie*. Important Amendment. Washington. Dec. 19.—1 n beginning the second installment of his speech on the proposed Nicaragua canal yesterday Senator Turpie introduced several , amendments to the pending bill, the most important of which was: “No part of the contract for said work shall be let to. the Nicaragua Construction company, nor to any other corporation dl&ociated with or allied or legally succeeding the said Nicaragua Construction company. Contracts on said work shall be let only by the Maritime Canal company of Nicaragua and shall be settled and paid for only by the officers of said company, subject only to such prior inspection of the said work in sections as completed as congress may hereafter provide, and subject to the previous approval of the secretary of war.” Labor Commission*. Bill. Washington, Dec. 19.—Labor Commissioner Wright has sent to Representative Erdman of Pennsylvania the draft of abill for the national arbitration of strikes. The measure was prepared by the strike commission appointed by President Cleveland. The bill gives Te practical details of the plan recommended in their report. It differs entirely from the arbitration bill heretofore introduced by Representative Springer, being more elaborate and precise in its details. Additional Charge. Against Taylor. Washington, Dec. 19. — Additional charges against C. H. J. Taylor, the colored recorder of deeds for the District of Columbia, alleging that he offered to enter into an agreement to make clerical appointments in his office and pay money to W. Calvin Chase, editor of a local nesrro journal, to cease the nublicatiou ot attacks on nim, nave oeen mea with the civil service commission. * Armenian Investigation. Washington, Dec. 19.—Inquiry at the State department shows that the president has taken no fresh action in? the matter of sending Mr. Jewett to investigate the Armenian atrocities since his last report to congress. Gold Reserve. Washington, Dec. 19.—The gold reserve was further reduced yesterday by the withdrawal at New York of SI,BOO,- -

CLEVELAND'S TRIP. He Will Attend a Reception In a Hlitoric Georgetown Hall. Georgetown, 8. C., Dec. 19.—President Cleveland is aboard the buoy tender Wisteria, lying in Muddy bay, 10 miles from Georgetown. No one is allowed on board except those officially connected with the vessel. The president, however, bus accepted the tender of a reception Saturday next in the historic half of the Winyah Indigo society, in which Washington held a reception in 1792, since which time no president has visited Georgetown. Miners Will Have Their Say. Pittsburg, Dec. 19. —Following the coal operators meeting of Monday, at which the rate was reduced from to 55 cents, comes the meeting of the miners, now in session. There is likely to be a firm stand for the fi9-oent rate. Keeley Company's Suit. Dwight, Ills., Dec. 19.—The Keeley company here has begun suit against the Memphis branch for a receiver, ali leging fraudulent transfer of $45,000 worth of property. The charge is denied. 000, which leaves the amount of the reserve at the close of business $91,554,909. The cash balance was $155,048,459. Single Taxers Banquet. Washington, Dec. 19.—Single tax advocates and Californians gave a banquet last night to Representative J. G. Maguire of California at the National hotel in honor of his re-election. Among the speakers were Hon. Tom Johnson of Ohio, Hon. John DeWitt Warner and Hon. Marion Cannon. Holiday Adjournment. Washington, Dec. 19.—Speaker Crisp and house leaders have reached a tacit agreement by which the adjournment for the holiday recess will lie takthi at the close of the session Saturday and the reassembling will be at noon on J:ui. 3. HE WAS ECCENTRIC. Extraordinary Arrangements Made by an Old Man For His Burial. St. Albans, Me., Dec. 19. —Aaron Randall, who died at the age of 80 years, was an eccentric character. Several years ago he had his coffin made and paid for it in gold. He also made arrangements about his burial, selected his bearers and also a man to dig his grave and bury him, and left in the hands of a friend silver dollars to pay the bearers $1 each, $3 to the man that dug his grave, $2 to the man who hauled his body to the cemetery and enough to pay the men who took charge of his burial. He left a special request that no prayers or preaching be allowed over his remains. Randall was buried in the suit of,clothes that he was twice married in and that he had had for 55 years. He only wore the clothes three times—twice at his weddings and once to the funeral of his son-in-law. Randall was a Democrat. He had his coffin made of pine that grew on a Democrat’s land and that was sawed in a mill owned by a Democrat. The coffin was made by a Democrat and he selected Democrats to do all that was done to bury ACT OF HEROISM. f i Forty Miners Saved by an Engineer Who Stood by His Post Amid Fire. Wilkesßarre, Pa., Dec. 19.—Thomas Lloyd, engineer at the Stevens coal mine iu West Pittston, performed an heroic act Saturday night. At 11 o’clock he discovered that the enginehouse was on fire. He could not subdue the flames. Then he gave the signal to 40 miners who were at work GOO feet underground to get on the carriage as quickly as possible. In a few moments the engine--house was a sheet of flame. Lloyd stuck to his post, although the flames surrounded him on all sides. His hands and face were badly burned. He sent the carriage down into the mine three times and when the last man was brought up he fell unconscious. He had saved the lives of 40 men, for had the enginehouse burned the fan supplying < the air for the mine would have stopped and the men would have suffocated. MORE ROTTENNESS. New York Patrolmen Admit Collecting Blackmail For Their Superiors. New York, Dec. 19. —“Honest” John Martin, through whose hands SIO,OOO of the money for Creedon’s police captaincy is said to have passed, is afflicted with paralysis of the left side and is unable to appear before the committee. So testified Dr. Joel W. Wright, Martin’s physician, before the Lexow committee. Several policemen yesterday testified that they had turned over parts of their salaries to captains. Wardman Bell said he collected over S2OO a month as blackmail and turned 80 per cent of it to Inspector Steers at headquarters to be given ß to Captain Schmittberger, and that the practice continued after the latter left there. AGGRESSIVE GRIFFO. Australian Pugilist Makes a Fool of Himself and Gets the Worst of It. Philadelphia, Dec. 19. — Pugilists George Dixon and Young Griffo have been at outs for some time and yesterday when Dixon appeared on the Lyceum theater stage Griffo leaped over the footlights and excitedly threw a $5bill at Dixon’s feet, challenging him to cover it. The latter /gave Griffo the laugh and friends persuaded him to desist. After the show Griffo met Tom O’Rourke, Dixon's manager, in a saloon and told him he was “only fit to manage niggers.” O’Rourke smashed the Australian in the face and serious trouble was only averted by mutual friends. WAS A TRUSTED CASHIER. He Speculated In Stocks and II Short •2 7,OOO—Bank Teller Milling. Rome, N. Y., Deo. 19.—The greatest surprise here in many years was caused yesterday by the news that John E. Bielby, the trusted cashier of the Central National'bank, is a defaulter in the sum of $27,000. Bielby admits taking ’ about $27,000 and says that he spoon- . lated in slocks and was caught in a downward market. Samuel Gillette, the teller of the bank, who is also the mayor of Rome, disappeared Monday evening and his whereabouts is not known hy his wife. Bielby, however, says no one is at fault besides himself and that Gillette had nothing to do with the 4 7

Want* to Know If He Was Deceived In Pardoning an Indiana Convict. ' Jeffersonville, Ind., Dec. 18. —War- _ den James Bl Patton of the Indiana , prison south has received a letter from [ President Cleveland regarding the celebrated Zinck case. On Dec. 5 the president pardoned Zinck, who was undergoing a 2-year term for sending obscene ' pictures through the mails. The pardon was based on the claim that Zinck was : in the last stage of consumption. He ; addressed Warden Patton in substance ’ as follows: “Pardoned Zinck upon the representation that he was dying of consumption, and upon the certificate of Dr. David C. Peyton that he would not live through the winter.’’ The president added: “Have you or the prison physician any explanation to in’ftke?” ■ •>He inclosed a clipping from a New York paper in which it was stated that fraud had been practiced upon the president and that Zinck was the picture of health. Warden Patton replied to the president that he stood by the report that Zinck is a consumptive and that the hospital record would bear him out in this statement. THIS HOUSE IS HAUNTED.
