The secretary is also directed to pay the j floating debt of the railroad companies and take up the stock and bonds pledg-1 ed as security and to take possession of all the government lands unsold which are held by the roads. The secretary is authorized to issue 3 per cent coin bonds for the purpose of carrying the resolution into effect. AMBASSADOR EDWIN F. UHL. Hl, Nomination to Berlin Immediately CouHrmed by the Senate. Washington, Feb. 11. —The nomination of Hon. E. F. Uhl to be ambassador to Germany was confirmed by the senate yesterday in little more than an hour after it had been received. The nomination was not formally referred to the committee on foreign relations, | to which under ordinary circumstances Q KDWIN F. UHL. it would have been sent, but the committee was canvassed on the floor pf the senate and no opposition being developed it was decided to confirm immediately. This action was taken in conformity with the wish of the state department, it considered important that Mr.’Uhl shall reach his destination at as early a day as practicable. William H. Rockhill, present third assistant secretary of state, will be promoted to Mr. Uhl's old position as first' assistant secretary of stare. IM PORTANT LEGISLATION. Pending Questions Given a Dhte For Consideration by tlie Senate. Washington, Feb. 11.—Although the senate failed to accomplish much yesterday, the session served to make definite the programme on a number of important subjects. Mr, Morrill, chairman of the finance committee, gave notice that he would call up the tariff bill tomorrow. Mr. Call secured unanimous consent that the Cuban question be made the special order following the deficiency appropriation bill. Mr. Davis, author of the Davis resolution on the Monroe doctrine, gave notice that on Monday he would call up the resolution. Thus the three most important pending questions were given a definite time for hearing. Mr. Cameron (Rep., Pa.) introduced a resolution pledging the United States to recommend to the Spanish government the desirability of recognizing the independence' of Cuba. Mr. Smith (Dem., N. J.) then addressed the senate on the Monroe doctrine. The seed question was thrashed over by Messrs. Vest and Bate, the latter defending Secretary Morton and saying that he was opposed to the spending of $120,000 this year for seeds. ' Mr. Thurston (Rep 5 ., Neb.) briefly called attention to published repors that he was the author of a bill recently introduced giving pensions to ex-slaves. The senator explained that the measure was introduced “by request,” and he was entitled to no credit for it. Senate Reorganization Deferred. Washington, Feb. 11. —The action of the Populists in deciding to put their own ticket in the field for the senate offices has caused some of the Republican senators to doubt the expediency of attempting to complete the reorganization of that body at this time, and it now looks as if this attempt will be deferred. Some of the older Republican senators have expressed the opinion that it would bo unwise to tie up the senate indefinitely over a matter of such comparatively small i mport ante. .Representative ( rain Dead. Washington, Feb. 11.—Representative William H. ( rain of Texas died yesterday of catarrh; I pneiiutonia. He was attacked last TiiestbiyT with a slight chill, jwhich soon developed into pneumonia.’ He rapidly grew worse and death took place as stated. Mr. Crain has occupied a seat in rhe past six congresses, begbuiing with the Forty-ninth, and being successively re-elected to the Fiftieth, Fifty-first, Fifty-second, Fiftythird and Fifty-fourth congi-esses.

DRUGGED TO DEATH I Lulu May Hollingsworth Gives Out Sofne More Alleged Information. PEARL BRYAN’S SECOND VISIT. Miss Hollingsworth Says the Dea<l Girl Spent Thursday Night In Indianapolis. Developments In Cincinnati —Jackson and Walling Will Probably Be Taken to Newport, Ky., For Trial. Indianapolis, Feb. IL—lt is thought here that Lulu May Hollingsworth has either a very vivid imagination or else she knows more of tlie details of the death of Pearl Bryan than has yet been , told. Yesterday the police by persistent questioning were able to get some more information from her. She told the names of rhe different drag stores where the stuff was bought which she claims caused Miss Bryan's death. The detectives looked the matter up, but each of the druggists named claimed they had not sold such articles on that date. _ •The Cincinnati antbarititw have been i unable to account for Miss Bryan on Thursday night, and yesterday it was rumored here that she. had spent the night in this city.„ A man claimed to have seen a couple answering the description of Miss Bryan and Walling on the Cincinnati, Hamilton and Dayton train at Morristown Thursday night, and says the pair came on to this city. The police, concluded that if there was any truth in the story Miss. Hollingsworth would know something of it, and the question was suddenly put to her as to whether she had seen Miss Bryan here Thursday night. The girl seemed about to faint at the question at first, and evaded a reply, but finally acknowledged she had seen Miss Bryan Friday morning at 5:30 o’clock. She declined to answer who was with Miss Bi-ylin, and refused to give any additional information. Late yesterday afternoon Miss Hollingsworth talked more freely. She said: “When Pearl went through here on Tuesday, she told me she was coming back, and accordingly she arrived, on Thursday night. She stayed that night at a hotel in Sojitli Illinois street.” “What was the name of the hotel?” “I am not prepared to state.” “When did you see her next?” “I got up at 4o'clock on Fridaymorning and went to the hotel. There I met. Pearl, and at 10:50 o'clock she took the train for (.Cincinnati and won't back.” It appears from what Miss Hollingsworth and the trainmen have said that Pearl Bryan was sick when she took the, train, and rhe police believe that the drags were administered in this city. Late last night Miss Hollingsworth made am >ther confession. She said that she Irjd performed the ojieratibn upon Miss Bryan herself in an empty room in the Cleveland block early Friday morning; that the latter had then gone to Cincinnati in a weak and exhausted condition, and had later died in JackSon’s room from the effects of the use of instruments.

Miss Bryan had secured the needed instruments from Jackson in Cincinnati, and hail returned to tigi* city accompanied by Watting on Thursday night. The police do not have much faith in Miss Hollingsworth's various stories and believe she is seeking notoriety or else is mentally unbalanced. She talks in a straightforward manner, but proof is always lacking. TO BE TRIED IN KENTUCKY’. Pearl BryaiTa Murderers Will Probably Be Taken to Newport. Cincinnati, Feb. 11.—While the authorities here are investigating whether Pearl Bryan was murdered in this city and her body hauled across the river to Fort Thomas, the grand jury at Newport is inquiring into the mystery, and indictments are expected for murder in Kentucky. Although the decapitated body was found one week ago last Saturday. the bead has not yet been found. It is not known where Pearl was murdered, how she was murdered or when she was murdered. It is believed that the trials of the murderers will be in Kentucky and tlie trials of accomplices in abortion in Indiana and Ohio, and even then the mystery may not be cleared up. Although Jackson and Walling have each retained more la'vyei’s, they cannot be restrained on legal advice from talking. When the bloody coat-found in a sewer was taken to the jail yesterday it palpitated another controversy between the prisoners. The coat fit Jacksen and was much too small for Walling. but Jackson claimed they roomed together; and Walling wore ills roommate's clothes on.the night of the murder. Jackson identified the coat as his, but said Walling wore it when he niuriered Pearl. Walling admits the bloodBtaim'd razor belongs to him, but says Jackson took it for his bloody work. Among the effects found near the body is a bloody shirtsleeve. If Walling Wore Jackson’s- coat his shirtsleeve would have protruded so as to have been easily torn olFin the murderous straggle with the uufortumNe trirl. Three rings were f ound in a sewei near where Jackson’s coat was recovered, but an unknown man got away with them and the search for the rings is as vigorous as the head. The Bryan family? at Greencastle, Ind., report that Pearl wore three rings when she left home in January and none were found on the body. An examination of the records at tin dental college shows that Jackson and Walling were present on Thursday, Jan. :«>. but neither one of them was in attendance on Friday, and the evidence against both of the suspects gets stronger every day. As they see circumstautial evidence aecnmlating their feelings against each other grows the more intense. Prominent Farmer's Disappearanee. ■ Chestertown, Ind., Feb. 11.—Nothing has been heard of J.

HOUSE AND SENATE Forecast of What Congress Wil! Do' During the Present Week. THE REVENUE TARIFF MEASURE.' Mar Hr a Close Vote on Senator Quay's Motion to Recommit Genera! D.-hnte on tlie Free Coinage Substitute For the House Bon.l Bill Closes Today—Resolution to Censure Ambassador Bayard. Washington, Feb. 10. — Senator Quay’s resolution for the recommitment of the revenue tariff bill to the committee on finance will probably reach a vote today.' Senafb'f Blanchard is announced to make a speech on the Monroe doctrine tomorrow. TtaTHklifibrough resolution in regard to the distribution of seed by the agricultural department will by agreement be taken up early this week. ’ and it is the purjiose of the committee on appropriations to get its bills up in rapid succession and out of the way as soon as possible. Four of these bilb have already been re]>orted from committee and others will follow as sjieedily as the committee can turn them out after their passage by the house. There will be an effort to secure an adjournment from Thursday until Monday-to permit the Pacific railroads committee to"continue its hearings. The Republicans expect to ger up the question of the senate reorganization toward the latter part of the week, and if they succeed this will consume considerable time. The. interest in the Quay resolution is enhanced by the knowleilge that the vote will lx* very close. The Republicans expect to poll their full vote of 44 members for recommittal, and hope they may get a vote or two from the Democratic side. This claim is, however, vigorously contested by the Democrats, who say they will have a full Democratic and Populist vote against the proposition. Program me-Jn the House. The general debate on the free c< linage substitute for the bond bill, which was discussed day and night for four days in the house last week, will close today. It is the general expectation that a vote will be reached some time tomorrow. As to the result there is no sort of doubt, Mr. Dingley’s motion to nonconcur and insist on the house bill will carry by a : vast majority, probably exceeding 100 if i there is a fuil house. It is not believed ; that Mr. Crisp's motion to concur in the free coinage substitute will muster over 100 votes. If ail-opportunity is given to concur in the last three sections of the bill —to redeem greenbacks in gold or silver at the option of the government, to coin the seigniorage and to retire national bank notes of a less denomination than slo—the vote may be close, but it is thought that parliamentary manipulation will prevent VQtes except on the mau proiKisition. The resolution to censure Mr. Bayard can be ; presented at any time dining the week, but it may b<; withheld until the pending appropriation bills are out of the way. New Semi-Military Organization. Washington. Feb. 10. —A new national semi-military organization has been formed here by General Madillon, founder of the-Union Veterans’ union 1 and the Medal of Honor Legion. The organization is called the Oriental Order of Zouaves aild its principal objects are ' to cultivate among citizens of all classes ! and ages a strong spirit of Americanism with a sjiecinl view to rigid enforce-. 1 nient of the Monroe doctrine. NOT WANTED IN MEXICO. i Dau Stewart’s Pugilistic Party Must Keep '■a Out of Chihuahua. Chihuahua . Mex., Feb. 10.—Governor Ahnalada of the state of Chihuahua has i taken decisive steps toward preventing the proposed pugilistic carnival taking place within the confines of this state. He has issued orders for 1,000 troops to proceeil to the-b’rder and patrol thechy of Juarez and adjacent territory during the days on which the fights are scheduled to occur. The governor has also] ad<tressed''a letter to the principals and ; managers of the fights, infoiniiiig them that they will positively not be allowed to trespass upon sloxican soil if any pugilistic encounters are contemplated.

A correspondent writes: ‘‘lt may come as a surprise to many to learn that Cromwell’s head, in, under the circumstances, a fine state of preservation, is at the present time in the possession of a gentleman who resides in Kent. The head was -lately sliown to Mr. Hamo • Thornycroft, who is executing the bust of the Protector, which has been subscribed for by the ex-premier and others, and the sculptor, it is said, entertains no doubt whatever as to its genuineness.. A study of the head has afforded Mr. Thornycroft material assistance, though one/of the easts —of which there are several in existence —taken almost immedi- • atfily after death, has probably been a kifer basis in the execution of the work. The hair on the head, which is of a red, or rather auburn, color, is in perfect preservation, and so is the short beard. ” — An Easv Welsh Name. . £) Llanf :m rp w 1 Igwy 11 gy llgerch wyrn bw Hr gogerchwyrubwllllandisiliogcgogoch is the first station hi Anglesea past the Menai bridge.
