SENATE AND HOUSE Monroe Doctrine, Finance and the Tariff Discussed by tfie Former. ■■V — LOWER'BODY ADOPTS ITS RULES. Senator Jone* Trying to Fix a Time Fo» | Closing the Debate on the Hubstitut* i For the House Bond Hill—American Prisoner* In the Transvaal—House-1« House Mall Collection. i Washington, Jim. 24.—Tho throt leubjocts most prominently before the (public, the Monrbe doctrine, finance and tariff, each came in for consideration in the senate yesterday, Mr. Daniel of Virginia speaking for two hours in support of a vigorous upholding of tho Monroe (doctrine as applicable to Venezuela, Mr. Dubois of Idaho dealing with the silver (phase of the financial question, and Mr. iWarren of Wyoming pointing out the {disastrous effects of the tariff 'tion of the last congress on farm prodnets in general and on wool in particular. Aside from those speeches the day developed little) of importance. The president submitted during the day the report of the secretary of state concern'iug the treatment of American citizens In Turkey. Mr. .Tones of Arkansas .sought to secure unanimous consent for a vote on the pending bond silver bill next Thursday, but a,t the request of senators withdrew his request until to day, when he will again seek to fix a time for closing the protracted debatt on the bond silver measure. JliMctiMiioii Over House Kuh**. 1 The house resumed the consideration jof the rules yesterday and disposed of Ithe last amendment offered by the comImittee. It- substitutes for the quorum icounting rule of the Fifty-first conigress the method of compelling the attendance of a quorum proposed in tht Forty-sixth congress by J. Randolph Tucker, with some- modifications. It was not until the rules of the Fifty-fiirsf congress stood adopted, with the few modifications reported from the -com mittee, that something like excitement was engendered by a speech from Mr. Dolliver (Rep., la.) He taunted the Democrats with at least acquiescing in the adoption of all the principles ern bodied in the rales of the Fifty-first con(gress against which they had raised [their voices in 1890. This speech drew - [forth an indignant reply from ex-Speakei Orisp, in the course of which he review ed the whole history of the controversy and charged the other side with trying [to make political capital by false pre tenses. REPUBLICAN SILVER MEN. Sign a Paper Which Will Be Used In tin i Coming Campaign. I Washington, Jan. 24.—The Republican silver senators yesterday signed s declaration which is intended to be nsec in the coirfnig campaign as the demand which the silver men will make for a plank in the national convention. In the preamble it is recited that the present financial system endangers the industrial prosperity of I he United States, which is threatened by China and Japan as a result of the decrease of the value of silver and the difference of, exchange between silver and gold using countries, fils’ therefore resolved that the signers favor the free and unlimited coinage Os silvcr-at the ratio of 16 to 1 for the purpose of obliterating this difference oi exchange, which is declared to operate as a bounty qn the export of products from silver using countries to gold using countries. It is also resolved that they favor a tariff which shall equalize the difference in the cost of labor between this country and the countries of Europe and Asia. It is the purpose ol those who are declaration to get all the Republican silver men in cOhgress to sign it. ♦ TRANSVAAL PRISONERS. —• — e- +•■ Americans Will Be Treated the Same ai Tlxwe of Ollier Nationalities. Washington, Jan. 24.—1 n response tc an_inquiry from Secretary Olney as tc themeasures taken to protect the- Americans arrested in the Transvaal in connection with the late uprising, Ambassador Bayard has cabled that, according to his present information, uniform, humam; and indulgent personal treatment is being extended to all persons, including Americans, Boer govern meut. This information has been com muixicated to members of the California delegation in congress, who are being flooded with telegrams urging them tc have the state department do something for the relief of Hammond, the American mining engineer imprisoned as one of tho ringleaders-’ of- the attempt at revolution in Johannesburg. It is taken •to mean that the American prisoners will be treated precisely as thoteof other nationalities, without fear or favor. House-tO'-Hou*e Mail Collection.

Omaha, Jan. 24.—A fire yesterday afternoon in the 3-story Dodge street school building, in which 500 children ’ were reciting, created a panic. Several children fainted, though all escaped without any serious injury. The blaze was of minor importance. That n catastrophe of great magnitude was averted was due to the heroic conduct of Oscar Downs, a 14 year old boy whose duty’ it is to be at the drum which keeps the scholars in line In emergencies. As soon as the alarm was given he hurried down to the principal’s office, got his drum and. stationing himself near the door, pounded out the tune while the children marched away. Hundreds started with a rush until they heard the drum. The fire department responded quickly and the blaze had full sway when it arrived, although the teachers had varied their duties by carrying pails of water and attempting to quench tiie blaze.

■FINANCE IS DEBATED Senator Voorhees Makes an Address In Favor ofSilver Coinage. MUST VOTE ON THE BOND BILL.' Krnator Jour* Notlfle* Hl* ColleaciiM to Prepare For a Teat of Endurance—Consular Appropriation Bill Pa**e<l by the House — Republicans Will Caucus on Senate Reorganization. Washington, Jan. 29.—Foreign-af-fairs and finaiice occupied the attention of the senate yesterday. Mr. Thurston of Nebraska vigorously upheld a strong application of the Monroe doctrine, and was at times warmly applauded for the patriotic ring of his sentiments. Senator Tnrpie of Indiana touched bn tho Turkish atriwities in a brief but very 'energetic speech, in ho declared that the resolution just passed by congress should be followed by a blow’, a shot, which should crash through the sultan's seraglio, sweeping hack Mohamedauism and advancing Christianity. Mr. Voorhees of Indiana, who was until recently chairman of the finance committee, spoke in advtoacy of the remonetization of silver and sharply arraigned those responsible for theelmination of silver from the coinage. Mr. I Voorhees has seldom spoken of late and i was given close attention. He said the ; country was now’ in the midst of a revolution brought on by those who plotted against silver. It was this class which ; brought on panics, destriiying the parity of the metals. The men who demonetized silver in 1873, were, said Mr. Voorhees, “revolutionists.'’ They sought to j overcome the constitution, the laws apd the policy of a century. After tracing the constant use of silver since rhe government began, the senator declared that the token of “sound ntbliey” applied to gold was a fraud. Silver was as much sound money as gold. It would' , effectually stop the raids on the gold reserve if the demands on the treasury were met by silver payments as well as gold. Mr. Gray of Delaware urged the I advantage of . a gold standard. • His ; speech was notable in its presentation' I of the fluctuation of prices, he claiming them to result from invention and naftural causes and not from silver demonetization. Mr. Clark of Wyoming spoke in favor of silver coinage. Another effort was made by Air. I Jones of Arkansas, in charge of the silver bond bill, to have the vote fixed for tomorrow. Mr. Hill objected, however, and Mr. Jones notified senators to pre■pare for a test of endurance on Thursday, as he would ask them to sit until a vote was taken. A fruitless discussion of the resolution to inquire into t he arrest of Eugene, i V. Debs occurred during the day, but i action was defeiTed. Brief Session of the House. The session of the house was brief yesterday. .Contrary to general, expecta- | tion "the diplomatic and consular ap- I pfopriation bill precipitated no discussion whatever. None of the foreign complications w ; as even mentioned and the bill was' passed in loss; than an hour. The appropriations carried by the bill are about SIOO,OOO in excess of those appropriated for the current fiscal year. i' — — SENATE REORGANIZATION'.

CUBANS IN BAL) LUCK Filibustering Expedition Wrecked In a Storm Off Long Island. SEVERAL LIVES MAY BE LOST. Over One Hundred Men Were on tho Steamer When the Disaster Occurred. Four of the Five Boat Loads of Survivors Are Known to Have Ifcen Picked L'p by Passing Venaela, Boston, Jap. 29. —The arrival of ther schooners Hffien H. Benedict and Leander V. Beebe are anxiously awaited to furnish more satisfactory details of the foundering of the steamer J. W. Hawkins, carrying an alleged filibustering expedition, in the waters south of New England. Both the schooners mentioned are coal laden, bound from Norfolk to Boston, and according to meager particulars of the disaster are bringing into safety many survivors. The exact number of those lost at sea cannot be determined until the number saved are fully accounted for. Dispatches from Vineyard Haven yesterday noted the mystery surrounding the arrival Monday of the schooner Helen H. Benedict, which landed 25 men who had been picked up from a boat adrift in Long Island sound. The men left at once for New York, exhibiting great reticence in imparting details of their being wrecked. They admitted being passengers on the steamer J. W. Hawkins, Captain Woodrow, which left New York Sunday night with over 100 men ou board. When off the eastern end of Long Island, the steamer sprung a leak, the witter flooding the engine room. All hands available were set at work bailing out, and while the gale into which the steamer had steamed increased in fury the water slowly engulfed the craft from within. A small deck load of coal was thrown overboard, and then to lighten the steamer portions of the cargo, which appears to have been munitions of war, were consigned to tha waves. The water soon extinguished the fires and the steamer was at the mercy of wind and wave. Before daylight the situation became so critical that the steamer’s boats were ordered out. Only five were seaworthy at the time and into these the crew and passengers went, some being lost, it is feared, in the haste to get away from the sinking vessel. Some of the boats were overcrowded, but miraculously four of the five were rescued by near by vessels, The Benedict picked up one boat containing 25 men, including some who are believed to be the steamer’s subordinate officers. The Leander V. Beebe was seeu to rescue one boat crew, and the Alicia B. Crosby reached Vineyard Haven yesterday, bringing in 13 more men. The latter, while inclined to be noncommittal and as anxious to return to New York as those rescued by the Benedict, volunteered souie information about the Hawkins, but then the facts they gave are unsatisfactory. A 3-masted schooner picked up two boat load§, which is supposed to account for aO or more. The rescued do not agree on the number carried by the steamer. The Beebe, with a fair wind, should reach- Boston tonight, unless she has put back to the Delaware breakwater, which some of the-rescued think is probable. The steamer J. W. Hawkins sailed for Cuba. andam< mg her c:ug< >W< re ctuuion, arms and a large supply of ammunition.
