WASHINGTON, D. C., January 26. Under resolution of the senate, to-day was set apart for eulogies in memory of the late Vice President Hendricks. At stepped in. The poor old an early hour the galleries were fairly plans were«ipped in 'the bn packed.

"For the eminent citiz^o in ili.1 republic," he said, "who laim iVil iVum his place and who now sleeps in iio'ior in the bosom of the state, he loved HO well and served so faithfully, we can do no more than has already been dcoe by tongue or by every method which human affection can inspire. The heavy drapery of woe had darkened alike the public building, the stately palace and the humble home. The proud col

»'(!ed

of the union have

drooped at half-mast throughout the United States and in every civilized land beneath the sun. Eloquence in the forum and in the sacred desk has paid its richest tributes to his exalted abilities, and to his stainless character. The tolling bell, the mournful dirge, the booming, solemn minute gun, the mighty multitude of mourners have ail attended the funeral of Thos. A. Hendiicks anl bMue witness to the deep love and grief with which he was lowered into his tst rutins place. All thei honors due lo the most illustrious dead have been paid ty the chief-magistrate of the Kovenimn.f, by the authority of the fc}?t«s, and by the uures trained affection of the pe-j.'Je. In the senate, however, we may not be lent even though the cup of honor to his memory is full and overflowing. In this exalted theater of action—here 011 this brilliantly lighted stage -he fultiik-4 his last official engagement, and closed his long and commanding public career."

Then in strong and graphic English, Mr. Voorhees reviewed the life and public service* of Mr. Hendricks. In dealing with Mr. Hendricks' political views, Mr. Voorhees said it had been, and especially late in his life, charged as a reproval against him, that he was a par

tisan,

if by that, tfye speaker said, was meant that he sincerely believed the principles and purposes of the party to which he belonged, and sought, by all honorable methods what he believed to be the public good, by placing its measures and its men in the capitol of the government, then the accusation was true, and the term of reproach became a just tribute to an honest man. It was the partisan of deep, honest convictions 1"

Eulogizes His Great Party Friend

This was his aim. When his requests were pigeon-holed or chucked into wastebaskets he smiled blandly. Hordes of disgruntled democrats swarmed, around him. His tally-sheet showed his game a winning one. When the summer .heats dispersed the armies besieging the executive department King Hendricks^ disbanded forces proclaimed his merits far and wide. For Cleveland they had only a growl. But the game was triangular. The "Man of Destiny" had a silent partner with a checkmate in reserve. Death sntleman's

Mr. Spooner, of Wisconsin, delivered an eloquent and graceful eulogy of some length. This was his maiden speech in the senate and attracted general attention. Mr. Vest and others followed. Mr. Harrison, in seconding the resolutions offered by Mr. Voorhees,

said

he did not

think that Mr. Hendricks' popularity had culminated at1 the time of his death. He seemed to have been never more loved or esteemed by his political friends than just before his death. He was a man, the Speaker said, of great political courage, and while not aggressive as a leader, he. always met the assault with force and •skill. He had never made his leadership offensive by too open an assertion or display of it His oratory was persuasive his style clear and lucid and if ie did not win his adversary over it always left him kindly disposed. The speaker paid a high comliment to Mr.

Hendricks' legal ability, who always argued, he said, aa a lawyer should. In his private life he was a man above reproach, strong in human sympathy and loving the cnarms of home. He was blessed in his married life, said Mr. Hai*rison in conclusion. The wife whom he woed and wed in his young manhood walked with him in love and affection to the end. The bridal vow hath been kept, -**till death do ua part."

The resolutions in memoriam were agreed to and as a further evidence of respect for the memory of its late presiding official the senate, on motion of Mr. Harrison, adjourned. ii—' ^-4 Washington Special.

-THE CABINET DIVIDED.

The Senate's Demand for Information Discussed for Three Hours. WASHINGTON, D. C., January 26-—The

cabinet meeting to-day was attended by all the members except the postmaster general, who is suffering from a

cold.

The

session lasted about three hours. The principal part of the time was devoted to considering the action of the senate, in executive session, yesterday, in making a formal "demand" of the attorney general for copies in his department relating to the recent change in the office of United States attorney for the Southern district of Alabama. A general discussion ensued, and showed a slight division of sentiment as to the prqper policy to be adopted by the president in this particular cage, which is generally regarded as an issue, and the action on which will necessarily establish a precedent. No action was had on the geqpral proposition of compliance or non-compliance with the wishes of the senate and the exact form of answer to be made to the communication from the senate, was left open for further consideration. 4pN«v Bills In the House.

THE NATIONAL LEAGUE.

The English Government to Try to Pass a Bill of Suppression.

IiOilDON, January 26.—Sir Michael HickB Beach, chancellor of the exchequer and conservative leader of the house of commons, gave notice in commons to-day that the government intended to introduce a bill on Thursday next providing for the suppression of the National League and all similar societies, and requested that the house give th^Tbill precedence. He added, that the meaf ure would be followed by the introdution of a bill dealing with the land question on the basis oi a policy indicated by the provisions of land purchase act introduced at last session of parliament.

The notice given by the conservative leader of the government's intention to introduce a bill to suppress the National league was greeted by. the Parnellite members with cries of "coward," "shame" and with ironical laughter. The uproar continued for some time. Mr. Collings moved his amendment to the address on the subject of allotments. Mr. Gladstone

that the government would willingly ac cept a decision of the house as they had assumed office with reluctance and would resign without regret. The amendment was adopted by a vote of 329 to 250, the government thus being defeated.

The house, at the suggestion of Sir Michael Hicks Beach, adjourned until Thursday. [Mr. Collings' amendment, on which the government was defeated, expresses regret that no measures are anntfejiced in the queen's speech for the relief of the sufferers by depression in trade and agriculture, particularly in regard to affording facilities to farm laborers, etc., for obtaining allotmennts of small holdings on equitable terms as to rent and security of tenure.]

A later analysis of the division shows that Lord Hartington and Mr. Goschen abstained from voting, and that only seventy-three Parnelliles voted. It is said that Lord Hartington will refuse to enter the cabinet under Gladstone, but will undertake to lead a separate party in opposition to Home Rule.

LONDON, January 27.—The Morning Post says that tne resignation of the government will be announced Thursday.

The Standard vredicts that the next cabinet will be snorter lived than the present. It says: "The outlook is gloomy. Either England and Ireland will be torn apart 01 there will be a succession of short lived governments, weakening the executive at home and abroad."

An Old Story Retold.

LONDON, January 26.—The dynamite scare was revived in Norwich to-day by a terrific explosion at Victoria railway station, which partially destroyed the buildings. No one is said to be hurt. Sir Henry Hawkins, judge of the high court of justice (Owens bench division) had left Norwich on a train starting from another depot a few moments before the explosion. It is believed that the explosion was the wo#k of enemies of his. Judge Hawkins sentenced dynamiters Cunningham and Burton to life imprisonment- •,

Later—The explosion is new believed to have been caused by gas. A Scene In Dublin Chamber of Com. merce.

DUBLIN, January 26.—There was a scene in the chamber of commerce to-day during the discussion of a motion in favor of presesving the integrity of the empire. Mr. Harrington accused members of sending petitions to a "foreign government." An uproar ensued and the chairman demanded the words "foreign government" be withdrawn. Mr. Harrington refused to do so and asked a meeting be polled. The chairman refused to poll the members. The meeting voted in favor of the original motion and broke np in disorder.

Mad at En. land.'

PABIS, January 26.—A dispatch from Zurich says that an anonymous pamphlet has just been published there of the most violent character. It denounces, in a most virulent manner, the right of the Duke of Edinburg, second son of Queen Victoria, to the succession of the Duchy of Saxe-Coburg, and says: "We must be broken with English Vellieties, and cannot accord to a sea-dominat-ing nation a dyncs'io, diplomatic, commercial or politic 11 iv flence over our affairs."

An Exploit ».o.ird From. LONDON, January 2G.—A dispatch from

Lisbon to the Times states that Herr Butner, the celebrated German explorer, whose death was reported from Boungland, on the west coast of Africa, last month- has been heard from since, and is in gcod health, and is now on his way back to Germany.

The Eight Hour taw

ST. LOUIS, January 26.—The Post Dispatch to day publishes interviews, -giving the opinions of over 200 leading employers and manufacturers, relative to the eight hour system. The employers genet ally state that the adoption of the eight hour system will not affect their business, but that it will surely result in a reduction of wages and of consequent injury to the laboring classes. They also Sftijte that the movement, if put into forcejtmll be met by the piece system, an*1 the method qf payment by the hour. •'She interviews develop that the "piece" system is now largely in vogue in this city. None of the manufacturers here have yet been asked by their employes to sign the circular sent out by the legislative board of the trades federation agreeing to the adoption of the eight hour system.

A Colored Priest Sues for Slander. LOUISVILLE, January 26.—Peter C.

Graham, colored, sued David Fennessy, president of St. Maiy's college, a Catholic institution in Marion county, Ky., for $30,000 in the United States court here to-day. Graham alleges that he spent nearly $5,000 educating himself for the priesthood at St. Mary's, and that he started for Denver with a letter from the Bev. Fennessy saying he was qualified to be ordained as a priest. Graham says that later Fennessy sent a letter to a colored bishop saying he was bad tempered and otherwise unfitted for the priesthood, thus preventing his ordination.

TERRE HAUTE,

THE TROUBLES AT SAMOA.

An Account of the German Consul's Tyranny, From the British Consul's Ups. SAS FBANCISCO, Cal., January 26.—

Captain W. B. Churthward, British consul at Samoa, left here to-day for London, to lay before the British foreign office his account of the4 German aggressions in Samoa. Captain Churchward, in giving an account of the troubles in Samoa, said that Mullin point, in the city of Apia, the seat of the Samoao government for many year-, came recently into the hands of Mr. Weber, formerly a German consul and the head of the leading firm at Samoa. Notice was given to the government to remove, and, though Weber was

Samoan king was compel his residence to another part of Apia. At this placa the king hoisted the Samoan flag.

Subsequently, upon an alleged insult to the German government on the part or the Samoans, the Germttn consul, Herr Steubel, forbade the king to display his flag anywhere within the municipality of Apia. Going personally to the King, he commanded him to pull it down This the King refused tq do. Herr Steubel then went on board the Gernfan gunboat Albatross, which happened to be in the harbor, brought a party of armed sailors ashore, and forcibly and af&irst the protests of the United States and British consuls, pulled down the flag. Two Samoan high chiefs went to New Zealand to claim sympathy in their troubles, and from their story the reports of Ger many's annexation ot Samoa probably arose.

It is said here to-day that one of the most serious charges brought against United States Consul Greenbaum, at Apia, Samoa, in the petition to Secretary Bayard, which asks for his removal, i* contained in an affidavit of a Chiqese merchant, Ah Su, who swears Mr. Green baum made arrangements whereby Chinese could be brought from China to Samoa and furnished with certificates there which would permit them to enter the United States. A Chinaman was to be charged $100 and the amount equally divided between Ah Su and Greeiibaum.

A Card From General Wallace. To the Editor of the Commercial Gazette:

Such of the telegrams, reports, etc., given by General Boynton in your paper of yesterday, as relate to the correspondence between Generals Halleck and Grant in the interval between General Early's appearance in the Shenandoah valley and his appearance before Washington, are certainly new to me. They also tend to relieve General Halleck from that part of my opinion which makes him guilty of a treasonable suppression of information in his dealings with President Lincoln and General Grant, inducing the latter to resort to initiative measures in defense of the city, so singularly out of keeping with his character. These circumstances, added to the gravity of the charge against General Halleck, make it my duty to go to Washington for. a personal inspection of all the documents there to be found pertinent to the subject and I shall do so as soon as my present engagements permit. In the meantime I respectfully request .a suspension of judgment in the matter. Truly yours,

LEW WALLACE.

CBAWFOBDSVILLE, Jan. 23,1886. l-ssjt is Anti-Chinese Excitement. SAN FBANCISO, January 26.—The recent murder of Mr. and Mrs. Jesse C.

NEW GOLD FIELD

Discovery of Flaeer Mine* In Honduras —Indlanians Interested. CHICAGO, .111., January 26.—A local

paper publishes along article this morning, announcing the discovery of rich gold fields in the republic of Honduras.

The arrival of full particulars, both by cable and mail, and also the receipt of a little bag of $22 worth of dust, testify to the importance of the find. Already Mr. Milligan, of Fargo, Da£., has gone to Honduras. Colonel Donan will follow in a few weeks, and several other parties af western men are making ready to set out for the pew Eldorado.

The new field lies in the eastern portion of the republic of Honduras, and about 250 miles from the Atlantic coast.

Mr. Rector and party have explored -the .-stream and its gravelly bottom for nearly fifty miles and have found scores of places where the gravel yields from teib to eighty cents to the pan.

MILLIONS DIDN'T SAVE HIM.

Hilton Weston Who Hired Men to Commit MUrder in a Strike Sent Up. PITTSBURG, Pa., January 26.—At

2 o'clock this afternoon Milton Weston, convicted of being an accessory to the murder of Obadiah Haymaker, who was killed during the Murraysville riots, appeared at the sheriff's office with his bondsmen, and gave himself up. He was placed in the custody of the sheriff, by order of Judge Bailey, and taken to the Riverside penitentiary at once to undergo his sentence of five years im prisonment. It is understood that petitions for his pardon are already in circulation.

City Sleighing Parties.

Old-fashioned sleigh riding parties are no longer confined to the country. There have probably been more sleigh-riding parties in Chicago during the present winter, says the Chicago News, than in all the rest of Illinois put together. Regular old-fashioned sleighing palrties they were, too. They went in big, long boxes filled with straw or hay, and amply supplied with blankets, with four horses and big jingling bells.

Every night many of these loads go jingling through Lincoln park and out to some suburb, where a dance has been arranged. These city revelers are not a bit behind their country cousins in romantic adventures, for no less than a dozen parties have been tipped over on the swell road, to the intense delight of the gentlemen in the party, and to the exquisite horror of the ladies.

The amusement is cheap, as a big bobsled can be hired for the evening for from $6 to $9. S6me of the stables fit their sleighs up with an assortment of hot bottles and heated irons, but the majority of proprietors adhere to the old custom of putting nothing but hay in the box.

Mr. Tilden's Retirement. Smith M. Weed, the friend of Mr. Tilden, said to Uath that the sage of Graystone has determined, not to come to this city again during his lifetime. His objection is the rough stone pavements, ich he pronounces barbaric in their torture. It is probable that a desire to avoid office-seek* rs who might ask his signature to petitions has something to do with this retirement, which has continued now for a year and a half. Mr. Tilden's handsome Grainercy Park house is in charge of a housekeeper and watchman.

THE OHIO MUDDLE.

Another Day of Excitement Bads With Promise of Compromise. COLUMBUS, Ohio, Januarys 26.—The

proceedings in the senate yesterday afternoon have had the effect of increasing public interest in the muddle and up to an early hour this morning the lobbies of the principal hotels and political head-

is litoiv quarters were thronged ifith partisans, la I vwul to their individaal views, with vehemence. The majority of the democratic members are inclined to take the situation philosophically, and if needs be, to repeat the policy of yesterday three times a week throughout the session, but there are others of their colleagues, who contend that heroic measures are necessary and this contention seems to be coincided in by the rank and file of local democracy and the (adherents of the party from other places who are on the spot The

Columbus Daily Times, (dem.), which has heretofore occupied rather conserva tive ground, publishes to-day a ringing editorial in which it declares that the proceedings of yesterday were characterized by a grosser usurpation of power than that of Oliver Cromwell in the English parliament, without justifying circumstances to which Cromwell and hix associates could lay claim, and concludes in the following language: "He (the pre siding officer) does not deserve the compliment of an impeachment. A majority of the senate can and should expel him. Expel him and set a sergeant- at-arms at each door to keep him out." It goes without saying that such a declaration as this from the local organ of the party iB credited with a certain degree of inspiration, and it would not be surprising if to-day's meeting should witness a scene of the character suggested. Democratic senators are at this hour—11:30—in caucus in the office of the state auditor, and are, it is under stood, discussing a compromise to be submitted to the republicans, providing for a

Ration of the contest to a special committee, composed of three republicans and a similar number of democratic senators. This proposition, however, has been rejected in advance by republican senators, to whom it. was mentioned this morning, and hence the Vutlook for peace in this direction is not encouraging.

The republican senators were in their seats as usual at 10 o'clock this morning, and the journal of yesterday, as committed to a quire of legal cap by Senator Ford, was read and approved. Then the senators settled back in their chairs for a day of idleness.

An urgent call appears this morning for a special meeting of the Jackson club at their rooms to-night for the transaction of special business. Officers of the organization decline4 to state the character of the business in question, but warmly declare that the reports which have been widely circulated to the effect that an organized force of members of the club, armed with revolvers, were in the senate chamber yesterday, and prepared to resort to violence upon a given signal, are untrue in substance ana in fact

The republican section of th» senate has adjourned until 10 o'clock to-morrow morning.

The latest information to-night is that a compromise of the difficulties will be attempted to-morrow. The republicans to day appointed a committee to meet a similar committee from the dem-

ocratic cancus, the object being to come to some agreement about the rules for the government of the senate. The deatocratic caucus will name their members of the committee at 10 o'clock in the morning and the meeting will then be held. It is expected they will be ready to report by the time the joint senate meets at 4 p. m.

Tammany and the President. NEW YOBK, N. Y., January 26.—The

GARFIELD AND TUCKER

How Two Brainy Men Opposed la Pontics Were Great Personal Friends.

The Washington correspondent of the Chicag News thus tells of the peculiar friendship of Garfield and Tucker in the house, which had a parallel in the friendship of Edmunds and Thurman in the senate:

Mr. Tucker is one of the few men from the south who still adheres to the doctrine of states' rights^ He believes in it

Assassinated and 1

firmly as Jeff Davis, Bob Toombs, or any of the other ante-bellum democrats who joined the secession movement Upon one occasion, while attorney general of Virginia away back in 1856-7, he delivered a lengthy opinion in favor of searching the United States mails and taking from them and confiscating what waa termed in those days "abolition literature." Notwithstanding this belief, however, Mr. Tucker is one of the most progressive men of the south. He

was

one of the first to accept the results of the wair and has always headed every movement having for its object the establishment of closer and more harmonious relations between the two sections.

Singularly enough, Mr. Tucker's most' intimate friend in the house was James A. Garfield, of Ohio. Politically, they were as far apart as the poles. In their social relations no two men were ever more intimate. Their friendship was founded upon their common love ot books, and the intellectual taste that each, possessed. This friendship remained unbroken until Garfield's death. Shortly after this occurrence Mrs. Garfield addressed a long letter to Mr. Tucker, begging him as her husband's "most valued and trusted friend" to assume the guardianship of her orphaned children. Mr. Tucker accepted the trust, and has faithfully discharged the duties ever since. Mr. Tucker once told me an interesting story of the late president. "Garfield knew that my two hobbies were free trade and states' rights. One day, shortly after oar acquaintance began, he came over to my desk and said: *Tucker, whatever political barriers rise between us, let there be free trade between you and me in science and literature.' "'With all my heart/ said I. He held in his hand a copy of Virgil. Glancing over its pages we came across Virgil's description of a Roman salad. He dwells, you remember, on the whiteness of the milk, the greenness of the herbs, and then on the peculiar resultant color after they have Men mixed together. Then occurs the phrass 'Color pluribus in unis.' 'There, Tucker,' said Garfield, 'That's where we get our E pluribus unum.'" 'What,' said I, 'do you mean to say we get our national motto Irom a R^iaan salad "'Certainly,' he said. 'There's the "unis" (one), you see.' 'Yes,' said I. 'And there's the "pluribus" (many), too. You must never forget this is an indissoluble union of indestructible states.'" EXTRAORDINARY PHENOMENA

WASHINGTON, January 26.—Minister S. S. Cox continues to write letters to friends here which show that he is not contented in Constantinople. In a recent letter he said he woula probably return to the United States in the spring, and also intimated that he might seek a return to congress from one of the New York City districts next fall. If he should be sent to Congress he could remain in Turkey until the fall of 1887, when the session of the fiftieth congress begins. The New Yerk politicians who have beard of Mr. Cox's desires, are wondering which district he will try to represent in case he should come on to arrange matters.
