ALLEN IS A SENATOR.

NEBRASKA POPULISTS ELECT HIM. Dynamite, Ke<l-Hot Stove, UndertakerGen. Beauregard on HU Last Campaign —Desperate Woijk of a Bad Indian—AntiOption’s Slim Ghance, > Nebraska’s Agony Ended. The Nebraska Senatorial agony is ended and William V. Allen. Judge of the Ninth Judicial District, said to be an Independent in politics, with Democratic leanings, will represent' Nebraska in the United States Senate for the coming six years, and can claim the distinction of being the first Senator from the State not a Republican. The Democrats and Independents voted solidly together for the Populist nominee, giving him seventy votes. Paddock received fifty-nine votes, two of the Republicans straying away, Kyner to Yandervoort and Ricketts to Crounse. Every one of the hundreds within the hall knew the result within ten seconds after the conclusion of the roll call. When the announcement was made it was followed by a wild burst of applause from the Populists. Mr. Allen was escorted to the platform and said: “Gentlemen of the Legislature, I ttfank you for this distinguished mark of your confidence and esteem- When I came into this city (Lincoln), less than a week ago, I had no purpose of becoming a candidate for this office. I am deeply sensible of the great honor, and I am equally sensible of the great responsibility I am permitted to enter upon in the discharge of my duties. I assure you that it will ho with caution and care and the conservatism due the exalted office and the exalted duties it carries with it. It would bo improper for me on this occasion to say more. I thank you heartily and cordially again for this distinguished honor. ”

ANTI-OPTION BILL DEAD. At Least That Is the Opinion of Old Members of Congress. According to a Washington correspondent the anti-option bill is regarded by the oldest members of Oongtess as dead Mr. Hatch doesn’t agree with that opinion. But he wouldn’t believe himself whipped if all the other members In the House told him they would vote against the bill The men with calm judgments, however, say that while Mr. Hatch may, with his magnetism. electrify the corpse into life it will be for a moment only, and that it will then return to the grave in which it was laid by Speaker Crisp last week. It is pretty certain that Mr. Hatch cannot muster a two-thirds vote for suspension, and even if he could Mr. Kilgore has proved that he can prevent legislation on suspension day. “Hatch still has the chance of getting a day set for consideration,” said Amos Cummings, -hut we filibusters have shown what we can do, and there is absolutely no show for him.” Mr. Hatch did not make any attempt Tuesday to get up the bilL Some members think that he will try to tack It on to the pura food bill, but the opponents of the measure are awake, and when he tries they will prevent the passage of the pure food bill. FIVE OF THE CREW DROWNED. Norwegian Bark Wrecked at Long Branch, N. J.—Eleven Men Saved. Supt. Havens, of the Fourth District life saving service at Point Pleasant, reports that the Norwegian hark Alice, from Dunkirk for New York in ballast, came ashore at Long Branch (N. J. ) life saving station. Before an attempt was made to rescue the crew by the life saving station five of the crew of the bark attempted to land in their own boat, but it was capsized in the surf and all were drowned. The life saving men finally succeeded in getting a life line attached to the bark, and by use of the breeches buoy rescued the eleven remaining members of the crew, including Capt. Jacobson. The bark's foremast is gone and she will probably prove a total loss. The Alice Is a double deck vessel of 077 tons, 168 feet long, 35 feet breadth of beam. Bhe was built in Maine in 1865 and is owned by the captain. Her hailing port is Arendal, a seaport of Norway. r DYNAMITE ON THE STOVE.

Terrible Result of a Texas Farmer’s Carelessness or Foolhardiness. James Sebastian, living a few miles west of Sherman, Texas, brought home some dynamite to clear land. Monday while Dan Brewer and William Denton were at Sebastian’s house, in the same room with Mrs. Sebastian and three children, Sebastian dropped some dynamite on the stove. The bouse was demolished and the ruins caught fire. The neighbors, by bard work, saved the inmates from a horrible death, although several will probably die of their injuries.

RAMPANT REDS. . Four Cowboys Slain by Two Sticks and His Band. Two Sticks, one of the most unruly of the Ogallala Sioux, and his band, left Pine Ridge Agency Saturday morning and attacked and killed four cowboys. As soon as Agent Brown learned of It he sent a strong detachment of Indian police after the murderers, who were in No-Water’s camp. A sharp fight ensued. Two Sticks and his son being wounded, and White-Face-Horse and another renegade killed. Had It not been for the prompt and firm attitude taken by Young-Man-Afraid-cf-His-Horsos the conflict between the Indian policemen and the disaffected band led by Two-Sticks would have led tc a scene of carnage second only to that at Wounded Knee in its awful horror. 1 NoWater, the chief at whose camp the fight occurred, flew into a frenzy anti called his followers to avenge them. Ii was at this stage that Young-Man-Afraid-of-His-Horses showed tact and generalship He hurriedly got his band together and marched his people between the police and No-Water’s followers, and in this way prevented another Indian war. All is nov quiet, but a close watch is being kept.

WANT TO CLOSE THE MINTS. Indian Merchants Present Resolutions tc Lord Lansdowne. At Calcutta a deputation of native and European merchants aud others waited upon Lord Lansdown, Viceroy of India, and submitted to him the resolutions adopted a few days ago at a meeting of the re; resentatives of all the mercantile classes demanding that in view of the failure of the Brussels monetary conference to arrive ut any conclusion on the bimetallic issue the government of India should immediately close the 'mints tc free coinage. Lord Lansdowne said that the Indian Currency Association had strengthened the case by leaving the proposals to change the standard for future consideration. The opponents of the change must now show that while a change of the currency standard of value from silver to gold would benefit other nations it would damage India

THE FIRE RECORD. Bad Itiazes at Montreal, Glencoe, Minn., and Ponca, Neb. The total loss occasioned by a Are in St .Tames stroet, Montreal, will reach at least $300,000. The insurance is in the neighborhood of $175,00. Several of the firemen wero frozen, and some were injured by falling timbers. The McLeod Company Bank Block, Glencoe, Minn., and the Court House were burned. The loss is $23,000. The Ponca mill and elevator, located at Poucn, Neb., burned to the ground. Fifteen carloads of Dour and 20,000 bushels of wheat were cousumod. Loss about $25,000. Fully covered by Insurance. ONE HUNDRED KILLED. Five Hundred Wounded In a Riot at BogotaThere has been a serious riot at Bogota, which lasted two days. One hundred men were killed and 500 wounded. The riots are in no sense political. The trouble grew out of u publication In La Cristina of an article by J. Ignacio Gutierrez, a professor in a local Jesuit college, alleging widespread ignorance among the laboring classes. The capital is still in a slate of siege, although it is officially announce 1 that quiet has been restored. A strict local preis censorship has been established.

Have Fears Despite Prosperity. R. G. Dun & Ca's weekly review of trade says: Actual business is surprisingly large for the season, and yet grave fears about the future are entertained. Congressional uncertainties cause the fears, but the prosperity aud needs of the people make business what it is. Never before lias the distribution .of products to consumers been larger than it has been thus far this year. Houce industries are remarkably prosperous. The volume of trade measured by clearings in January was nearly 12 per cent, larger than In any previous year, and the railway movement shows a great increase in the tonnage transported. Yet It is probably safe to say that rarely, if ever, except in a time of panic, has business been more cautiously and conservatively regulated. Monetary uncertainties are excused by the continued outgo of gold, hut the passage of the anti-option bill by the Senate has had no effect upon the market as yet. Dakota Legislature Frozen Out. At Bismarck, N. D., the vote in joint convention Tuesday was: Casey, 20; Kingman, 9; Anderson, 1; Smith. 4; Walsh, 4; Benton, 36; Roach, 2; Muir, 1. Five Republicans were sick, one paired, and one Populist was absent. A blizzard was raging and members cast their bullots with hats and overcoats on. The Democrats and Populists resisted the resolution sot the joint convention to dissolve, being united on Benton, but were defeated.

It is alleged that 150 boys live in enforced idleness ihere, facilities for instructing them in useful trades being hopelessly inadequate. The inmates are further declared to he expose Ito corrupting influences. This condition of things is charged to the unwillingnesi of trades to come into competition with prison industry. This Combine Should Hold Together. Cement companies of Louisville and surrounding country have formed a combine with $1,200,000 capital. J. B. Speed is President. Prices are to he advanced.

HAWAIIAN COMMISSION AND AMERICAN MINISTER.

ALL SIDES OP THE HAW ARAN ANNEXATION QUESTION.

For Annexation. Hawaii must he ours.—Boston Globe. Let us have them.—Philadelphia Inquirer. Cannot afford to let the opportunity slip,—Elgin News. There is every reason why the islands should be accepted. —Detroit News. Annex them or establish a native government and protectorate.—lndianapolis Journal. Annexation is the proper solutlonof the problem from our own standpoint!—Detroit Tribune. Accept the overtures of the commissioners and at once possess the islands.—Springfield State Journal. It is scarcely more a privilege than a duty to annex the islands sans oeremonie.—New York Advertiser. It is no party question—it is a matter of business. We want naval and coaling stations.—Atlanta Constitution.

WILL LET HER COME IN.

The Feeling in Favor of Annexing Hawaii Growing in Congress.

Concerning the Hawaiian annexation, a Washington correspondent says that at both ends of the Capitol the sentiment is growing that annexation is the only step to take. The commissioners have said unofficially over and over again that they do not want a protectorate, and Senators and Representatives who at first thought that was an easy way out of the embarrassment of an unprecedented situation are drifting to the idea that this presents about as many difficulties as direct annexation. But no steps are going to be taken immediately. The provisional government is in a position to take care of the country for the present, with the help of United States marines. England seems disposed, according to London dispatches, to keep her hands off if we want to take the islands, and Senators and Representatives want to maintain the status quo until they have acquired fuller information about the resources of the islands and the different kinds of population who would have to be taken care of. The strongest advocate and the strongest opponent of annexation are Southern Democratic Senators. Senator Morgan is for annexation, as he has .been all along, and an advocate of a broad und foreign policy extending far beyond our own boundaries and our own property. In the discussions on Samoa and the Congo Free State, particularly in the case of the latter, he has taken a leading part in pushing claims of the Uniled States to a wider sphere of iDlluence, if not of power, and his advocacy of Ihe Nicaragua canal as a part of the same policy is well known. The Southern men generally are in favor of Hawaiian annexation, but Louisiana opposes. The sugardnterests of Louisiana and Hawaii conflict. The Louisiana planters are hoping for the repeal of the bounty and the imposition of a duty, and they don’t want the islands to stand on the same footing that they do. Reciprocity with Hawaii has not been in the interest of Louisiana, and the Pelican planters believe that annexation would do a great deal to encourage the investment of American capital in the islands, and that the sugar culture would be greatly extended there and the islands made more dangerous competitors than they have ever been in the sugar market.

BAD WHISKY AND COWBOYS.

They Unite with Indians to Raise a Row at Pine Ridge. Another scene in the shooting tragedy on the Sioux Reservation was enacted Friday evening near the spot where the four white men were killed by Indians. As soon as the news of the tragedy was brought to Pine Eidge Capt. Brotvn, the agent, dispatched twelve mounted police under command of Police Sergeant Joe Bush to the scene of the shooting, with instructions to arrest and bring in the perpetrators of the bloody work. When the squad arrived at their destination Two Sticks and his crowd opened fire on them and a skirmish took place, resulting in the death of two of Two Sticks’ party and the wounding of Two Sticks and one of his sons. Two Sticks himself was shot in the leg and in the abdomen. Two Sticks’ sbn was wounded slightly in the ankle. The dead Indians were left where they fell and the woundid ones were brought to the agency. The motive for the murder cannot be definitely learned. One account is that the Indians were playing cards with the white men in the degout in which they were camped and got into a dispute, and that, after leaving them, the Indians returned and opened the door of the dugout and shot them while they were asleep. Another account is that these Indians had been in one of their sweat houses, going through some of their savage ceremonies, and became imbued with the idea that it was incumbent upon , them to kill these men and proceeded to carry it into effect.

After making their reports the police were highly complimented by Captains Brown and Cisney. Capt. Brown has another squad of police out after those who got away, with instructions to bring them to the agency dead or alive. A courier reports that Two Sticks and his two sons returned twp or three hours after killing the cowboys and took all the bed clothing in the camp and stole what food was in sight. It is a difficult matter to obtain reliable particulars. Last night it was rumored that Two Sticks’ friends were moving toward the agency and were going to fire the government building, but this cannot be confirmed. A blizzard is now raging, which is usually more cooling to an Indian’s ardor than anything else. Captain Brown does not fear serious trouble, but others do not have the same opinion.

A Rapid City, S. D., dispatch says the reports of danger from discontent among Pine Ridge Indians caused by the murder of four cowboys are unfounded, no general disquiet being reported. The Humphrey <fc atenger cat-

Against Annexation, Hawaii would be our one weak point.—Boston Herald. The desirability of annexation is by no means apparent. —Kansas City Star. , It would be little less thfih/ a crime for the United States to annex them.—Buffalo Express. The end of the whole matter, for the present, will probably be an American protectorate. —Cleveland Leader. An expansive system of satrapy or territorial governorship the country had certainly better avoid.—Galveston News. We have no place in our system of government for the Sandwich Islands as part of our actual domain.—St. Paul Pioneer-Press. It is not at all certain that the American people or their government are of a mind in favor of annexing that country.—Philadelphia Ledger.

tlemen were killed by a wandering band as a result of. a quarrel early In thd week. Colonel Carlton of Fort Meade, has countermanded his orders and no troops will be sent to Pine Ridge. Everything is reported quiet there. A later dispatch from Omaha says: The true account of the alleged Indian massacre is simply this: Thursday a number of cowboys belonging at the beef camp of Isaac Humphrey, a government contractor located on White River, at the mouth of AVhite Clay Creek, at out twenty-five miles northwest of, Pine Ridge Agency, returned from town in a drunken condition, and brought a good supply of whisky with them. During the evening they became quarrelsome and mistreated and injured an Indian by the name of Two Sticks, driving him from their camp, and firing their revolvers at him. Two SticKs returned later in the evening, X’e-enforced by his sons and a number of other relatives and friends, and commenced a deadly fire on the cowboy camp, killing Ihree and mortally wounding a fourth man, who has since died.

TO EXORCISE THE DEVIL.

Horrible Ceremonies of a Peculiar Religious Sect in Michigan. The Carterites at Coloma, Mich., n new religious sect, are continuing their inhuman seances, and a supreme effort will be made to have the leader arrested and the new heaven disbanded. Recently Carter and some of his followers held what they called a “routing the devil’s meeting," and slammed things around the house, broke furniture, etc., and when the devil, as they put it, would get into one of their number that one was treated something in the manner that a sheaf of wheat is treated when run through a separator. But his satanio majesty has* not bothered the Carterites for some time. The other day Carter was in the barn milking a cow, and during the operation the cow kicked him and he immediately cbncluded that the cow had that peculiar disease “the devil.” He tied her up in a stall and twisted her tail until the “lowing of the kine” was heard in the land. The neighbors came in to see what had happened to their leader, and then Carter, in a solemn speech, made it known that the devil had taken possession of his cow, but he ha t twisted her tail until she had given him up like the whale gave up Jonah. But he at the same time insisted that their enemy had lodged in the hayloft. So the little assembiy proceeded to drive him out after the manner they had followed in the hou=e some time before. The hay was turned upside down and the barn doors slammed, and all maneuvers imaginable were gone through, and finally an old lady in some manner hurt herself and declared the nevil had paralyzed her left side. She was jolted on the floor and dragged around in a very ungentlernanly manner until she declared that she was once more free, and then over their success a “hallelujah” was held, to the gratification of all present. One of these “chosen ones,” upon hearing her old mother groan, went down-stairs to find her enveloped in flames; and coolly took her child and crossed over to a neighbor’s house, several rods away, and awoke and sent them to put out the fire. When they reached the house the poor old creature was outdoors clinging.to the clothesline post. The post was all charred and her flesh was hanging to it in bits. She lived a few minutes only. Other things not exactly fit for publication have transpired.

MRS. W. C. WHITNEY DEAD.

Wife of the Ex-Secretary of the Trensury Pa gses Away. Mrs. W. C. Whitney, wile of the exSecretary of the Navy, died at 3 o’clo.k Saturday morning. Mrs. Floia Payne Whitney was the daughter of Henry B. Payne, of Cleveland, recently Unite! States Senator from Ohio. She was .the youngest of the family. While a very young girl she showed a great fondness for hooks. She had tutors at home, and attended the best schools of New York, afterward devoting a year to study in Europe. Soon after the completion of her-sci-entiflc course at Cambridge, while yet scarcely out of her teens, she married William C. Whitney, then a ypung lawyer of New York City. That was about twenty years ago. Her life since has been devoted to her husband and her children, but she has found time to make and to hold a leading place in society in New York and Washington, and to establish a sound reputation as a linguist, as an authority in arohaeology and as a judge and critic of literature. When Mr. Whitney became Secretary of the Navy in Mr. Cleveland’s cabinet Mrs. Whitney made their home in Washington second only to the White House in social importance. They occupied the old Frelinghuysen house on I street. Mrs. Whitney had five, children. ExSenator Payne, Mrs. Whitney's father, is still living. When Mrs. Whitney’s first child was torn he gave the young mother $1,000,000.

HE WAS BURKED ALIVE.

AWFUL PUNISHMENT OF A NEGRO MONSTER. Tortured with Red-Hot Irons and Then Consumed by Fire—Ten Thousand Feople Qather at Paris, Texas, to Witness the Fearful Proceedings. A Fearful Fate. Henry SmUbi the Paris (Tex.) negro Who first killed 4-year-old-Myrtle Vane'S, has expiated in part hia awful crime by death at the stake. Ever since the perpetration of his awful crime the city and entire surrounding country has been in a wild frenzy of excitement. When the news Came that he had been captured near Hope, Ark., that he had been identified by B. B. Sturgeon, James T. Hicks and many others of the Paris searching party, the city was wild with joy over the apprehension of the brute. Hundreds of people poured into the city from the adjoining country, and the word passed from lip to lip that the punishment of the fiend should fit the crime—that death by fire was the penalty Smith should pay. The curious and sympathetic alike came on train and wagons, on horse and on foot, to see if the frail mind of mind could think of a way to sufficiently punish the perpetrator of so terrible a crime. Whisky shops were closed, unruly mobs were dispersed, schools were dismissed by a proclamation from the Mayor, and everything was done in a business-like manner. Officers saw the futility of any effort to quell the almost riot. So law was laid aside, and the citizens took into their own hands the inhuman beast and burned him at the stake. Never before since the days of the Spanish inquisition, when cruelty was law, has there been such terrible punishment meted out to any man; but so horrible was the crime, in its magnitude so inhuman and so ghastly, that the punishment inflicted upon him was infinitely small in comparison. He was brought through Texarkana, where 5,000 people awaited the train, anxious to see a man who should receive the fate of Ed Coy. At that place speeches were made by prominent Paris citizens, who asked that the prisoner be not molested by Texarkana people, but that the guard be allowed to deliver him up to the outraged and indignant citizens of Paris. Arriving in Paris, the train was met by a surging mass of humanity 10,000 strong. The negro was escorted through the city so that all might see the most inhuman monster known in current history. Smith was placed upon a scaffold six feet square and ten feet high, securely bound, within view of all the beholders. Tortured by Ked-Ilot Irons. Here the victim was tortured for fifty minutes by red-hot iron brands thrust against his quivering body. Commencing at the feet the brands were placed against him inch by inch until they were thrust against the face. Then, being apparently dead, kerosene was poured upon him, cottonseed hulls placed beneath him and set on fire. In less time than it takes to relate it the tortured man was wafted beyond the grave to another fire hotter and more terrible than the one just experienced. The cause of the crime was that Henry Vance when a deputy policeman in the course of his duty was called to arrest Henry Smith for being drunk and disorderly. The negro was unruly and Vance was forced to use his club. The negro swore vengeance and several times assaulted Vance. In his greed for revenge he last Thursday grabbed up the little girl and committed the assault, then tore the child limb from limb. The father is prostrated with grief and the mother lies at death’s door, but she lived to see the slayer of her innocent babe suffer the most horrible death that could be conceived.

The negro for a long time after starting on the journey lo Paris did not realize his plight. At last when told he must die by slow torture he begged for protection.' What protection could he get with thousands of people from Hope to Paris demanding his life? He was willing to be shot and wanted Marshal Shanklin, of Paris, to shoot him. He pleaded and writhed in bodily and mental pain in anticipation. Scarcely had the train reached Paris than this torture commenced. Hl3 clothes were torn off piecemeal and scattered in the crowd, people catching the shreds and putting them away as mementos. The child’s father, her brother and two uncles then gathered about the negro as he lay fastened to the torture platform ana thrust the hot irons into his quivering flesh. Every groan from the fiend, every contortion of his body, was cheered by the thickly packed crowd of 10,000 people. After burning the feet and legs the hot irons were rolled up and down Smith’B stomach, back and arms. Then the eyes were burned out and irons were thrust down his throat. The men of the Vance family having wreaked vengeance, the crowd piled all kinds of combustible stuff around the scaffold, poured oil on it and set it afire. The negro rolled and wriggled and tossed out of the mass only to be pushed back by the people nearest him. He lossed out again and was roped and pulled back. Hundreds of people turned away, but the vast crowd still looked calmly on. Evejy train that came in was loaded to its utmost capacity, and there were demands at many points for special trains to bring people to see the punishment of a fiend for an unparalleled crime, and when the news of the burning went over the country like wildfire at every country town anvils boomed forth the announcement. Gov. Hogg telegraphed the officials at Lamar to protect the negro, Henry Smith, from mob violence, and after hearing of Smith’s fate wired them to take the names of the parties principally concerned in the affair for prosecution.

Senator Wolcott, of Colorado, according to a Washington correspondent, opposed the anti-option bill as not sanctioned by the constitution, as vicious in principle, calculated to work injury to the people in whose interest it professed to bo framed. The anti-trust law of a few years ago ought to be a lesson to Senators. That law had been long enough in force to show that it in no wise affected prices. He did not care to discuss the anomaly presented by such a situation. Senator Gray, of Delaware, argued, on constitutional grounds, against the bill. In his opinion the measure would overturn the American form of government and throw down every barrier between absolute power and the liberty of the citizen—the liberty of contract on which civilization, in a large measure, depended. Senator H.gginsof Delaware made an argument in favor of the bill. He argued that the system of “future dealings” as practiced in the exchanges was a continental and world-wide interference with the law of supply and demand, and that under it the producers of the country were made the sport of those who chose to gamble in their products. Senator Harris of Tennessee made a statement of the reasons which controlled his vote. He regarded the measure as palpable and admitted fraud on the constitution. It would destroy home rule, local self-government, and the last vestige of the reserved rights of the States. Senator Vest spoke of the action of the House of Representatives of the Missouri Legislatute instructing the United States Senator from that State to vote for the bill and said (hat he preferred his own self-respect to personal or political applause. There was sunshine in other places besides Washington City; and the air of the prairies was purer than that of the Senate chamber. He should therefore vote against the bill.

WORST OF THE SEASON.

A Howling Blizzard Sweeps Through the Northwest. A blizzard has raged all over the Northwest, and, according to a late dispatch from St. Paul, is still at it. Reports from the country further to the northwest are meager owing to the prostration of the wires by the storm. It has moved rapidly from Denver in a northeaster y direction, accompanied by snow and high winds. At 8 o’clock Tuesday night at Helena it was 48 below zero, while at Missoula, a little over a hundred miles north, it was 10 degrees above. At the former place there was a high wind from the west. Missoula was simultaneously catching a small hurricane from the east. It was 54 below in Helena at 6 a. m. All through Montana, with the exception of one point, the cold was intense. In Portland it was 25 above, and in St. Paul 15. In Duluth it was 6 below, Winnipeg 10, and Jamestown 9, while at Fergus Falls, Grand Forks, and Fargo it was fully twenty degrees warmer, with high winds from a different point in each one of the six places.The snowfall in the Northwest was not enough to cause serious delays, but the high winds caused drifts that kept back through trains three or four hours. Reports from the lines running north to the lakes and east to Chicago show uniform weather, with high winds, causing the snow to drift quite badly. Late dispatches give additional details of the blizzard, which seems to have been very severe and general. Fine snow fills the air at Benson, Minn., and business has been abandoned, though it is not cold there. Mankato reports a blizzard howling and temperature rapidly falling. A sudden change of wind at Fergus Falls, Minn., was followed by a quick drop from 15 above to 10 below zero. Blinding fine snow at that place has compelled a suspension of business, and as the temperature is rapidly growing colder much suffering is feared. All trains have been abandoned at Watertown, 8. D., on account of the storm. The blizzard is now raging throughout Southern Minnesota, and mercury rapidly falling. At 7 o’clock the signal-service observer in St. Paul reported 10 below zero. At the same time it was 20 below at Pierre, S. D.; 20 below at Moorhead, Minn.; 32 below at St. Vincent, Minn., and Bismarck, N. D.; 30 below at Winnipeg; and 38 below at Helena, Mont. The wind at that hour was blowing from ten to forty miles an hour in different Sections.

Representative DeArmpnd (Mo.) put a little spice into the proceedings of the House by making an attack upon the civil-service law.

All the committee amendments were agreed to, except one that was reserved for action Thursday looking to the erection of a 3300.000 municipal building in Washington city. The attention of the House was centered upon one item of the sundry civil appropriation bill. That item, was one appropriating {16.000,000 for carrying on the contracts already entered into for the improvement of rivers and harbors. The jurisdictional authority of tho Committee on Appropriations was called into question. It was contended that the appropriations should have been reported to the committee on harbors, but although Mr. Holman was foremost of those who made this contention against the power of the committee of which ho was chairman, that committee came out victorious and the item was decided to te a proper one. Without finally acting on the bill the House adjourned.

The opponents of the legislation were on the alert, and the Instant that Mr. Hatch made his motion for the conference, Mr. Bynum, of Indiana, wa3 addressing tho Speaker, with a point of order, that the Senate amendments must first be considered in committee of tho whole. John. Davenport and the Federal election laws then occupied the attention of the House, brought forward by an amendment offered by Mr. Fitch, of New York.to the sundry civil bill. It provides that hereafter no part of any money appropriated to pay any fees to the United States commissioners, marshals, or clerks shall be used for any warrant issued or arrest made under the laws relating to the election of members of Congress unless the prosecution has been commenced upon a sworn complaint setting forth tho facts constituting the offense and alleging them to be within the personal knowledge of the affiant.

The House then paid tribute to the memory of the late Representative Craig, of Pennsylvania, and adjourned. ’J he question of the repeal of the Sherman act, or at least of the suspension of the silver bullion purchase provision of It,' was unexpectedly precipitated on the Senate by Mr. Teller (Rep), Colorado. He made the presentation of some petitions on the subject the occasion for launching out into a discussion of the whole question, and expressed his confident assurance that the ropeal of the Sherman act was not among the possibilities of tho present session. At 3p. m. the business of the Senate was suspended in order that fitting tributes might be made to the memory of the late Senator Barbour, of Virginia. Eulogies of the dead Senator were pronounced by Messrs. Daniels, Manderson. Faulkner, Gallinger, Platt, Hill, Hiscock, and Huuton, Mr. Barbour’s successor in the Senate. The usual resolutions were agreed to, and the Senate, as a further mark of respect to the memory of Mr. Barbour, adjourned.

Gamble of South Dakota, Ford of Michigan, and Stackhouse, of South Carolina, members of the Houso of Representatives, were then begun, and after eulogies on each of the dead Representatives the customary resolutions were agreed to and the Senate adjourned. The Houso made rapid strides toward final adjournment. It passed the diplomatic and Military Academy appropriation bills with little debate. Mr. Hatch reported back the anti-option bill, with Senate amendments, and it was referred to the committee of the whole.

The periods of the Senate Monday were of a character at once interesting and important. The junior representative from New York, Senator Hill,, made the motion of which he had given notice last Friday to proceed to the consideration of the bill to repeal the Sherman silver-purchase act —and in support of tbe'inotion delivered a carefully prepared speech, in which he declared himself unconditionally a friend of free bimetallic coinage. The motion was defeated by nearly a two-thirds majority, the vote being yeas 23. nays 42. Afterward the quarantine bill was taken up and passed without a division, also a bill for the payment out of the treasury of local taxes on lands held by Indians in severalty.

Y.; irrespective of party, in favor of the repeal of the Sherman act. Senate hill to authorize a bridge over the Monongahela River from Pittsburgh to Homestead - was passed. This was suspension day in the House, knd Mr. Kilgore, of Texas,soon began filibustering motions. His apparent object was to prevent the consideration of the anti-option, hill, but deeper than this was his antagonism to the bankruptcy hill, which public rumor had put down on the slate for the day. It was after 1 o’clock when the various filibustering motions of Mr. Kilgore were disposed of and the journal approved. Then Mr. Bunn moved to suspend the rules and pass a hill appropriating $32,000 for the relief of the heirs of Adelicia Choteau. Mr. Burrows demanded a second, and. as no quorum voted, on motion of Mr. Kilgore a call of the House was ordered. The call showed tie presence of a quorum and tellers were again ordered. Again no quorum voted and again a call of the House was ordered. After several other roll-calls the House adjourned, without having reached tho antioption or the bankruptcy bill. .
