Further Talk About the Hal3tead Rejection—Important Offices Yet to be Filled.

^WASHINGTON, April 2.—After the "presentation of two memorials, one in favor of special privileges in regrad to public office for honorably discharged

Union soldiere, and the other against intoxicating liquors, the vice president laid before the senate Mr. Stewart's resolution expressing the profound Borrow of the senate atthe de.ath^jgf J^rt John Bright. Mr. Sherman suggested that the resolution had better be referred to the committee on foreign relations, as its adoption might establish a precedent that would return to plague the senate. Mr. Hawley remarked that no such occasion was likely to arise again. If the United States had over had a friend in time of need, that friend was John Bright. After considerable debate the resolution was referred.

The Vice President—As the present occupant of the chair is about to vacate the chair for th« remainder of the session, he desires to avail himself of this opportunity to exprees his grateful appreciation of the courtesy and consideration which he has received from every member of this body. He desires also to express the hope that he shall fiad, at the next session of the senate, every senator in his seat in good health, and that be shall then have an opportunity,to resume and continue the agreeable relations already established.

Mr. Edmunds then offered a resolution that, in the absence of the vice president, Mr. Ingalla be chosen president of the senate pro tern. The resolution was put by the secretary and agreed to without a division, and then Mr. Ingalls, escorted by Mr. Edmunds, had the oath of office administered to him by the secretary and took the chair, expressing, at the same time, his grateful acknowledgements to the senate for the renewed expressions of its confidence. The senate then, at 1:50, proceeded to the consideration of executive business, after which the senate adjourned sine die.

SENATK SECKKT SESSIONS

What Senator Teller Says a* to (lie Kesolutiou to Abandoii Them. WASHINGTON, April 2.—Senator Teller's proposition to abolish secret ses-

JS sions of the senate for the consideration $**&*>*•*

presidential nominations, while not the direct outgrowth of the reports published of the debate on the nomination of Murat Halstead to be minister to (Jermany, was suggested by them. The proposition of Senator Teller differs from that made by Senator Piatt, of Connecticut, at the opsning of the Fiftieth congress, in that it proposesjthat only nominations shall be considered with open doors, while the Piatt resolution proposed to abolish executive sessions for any and all purposes, except when by specific motion, it might be agreed that the doors should be closed. Republican senators say there would have been favorable action taken on the Piatt resolution had it not been for the eccentric work of Senator Riddleberger, which was incompatible with the interests Of the proposition.

Senator Teller, asked by an Associated Press reporter to-day as to the outlook for his resolution, said: "There is no doubt in my mind that it will be adopted. So far as I can see, there is very little objeotion now to the consideration of presidential nominations in open session. I don't believe a word was uttered for or against the confirmation of Mr. Halstead that those who spoke would object to have published broadcast, if for no other reason than to avoid the misrepresentations being made as to the motives which prompted senators to vote for or against him. Strong arguments can be presented against the confirmation of treaties in open session, but I cannot see why any fair and courageous man should object to open BeBsions for the consideration of nominations. For one, I will say nothing in executive session affecting a man's character which I would not say openly. The public service can not be impaired in the slightest by the adoption of my proposition, and I shall push it to a determination at the opening of the regular session of the senate. I am confident the masseB of people are in favor of it, and I am equally confident, in view of the publications during the pas week, that a majority of the senatoes will vote for it." }gp

A Pension Killing.

WASHINGTON, April 2.—Commissioner Tanner, of the pension bureau, with the approval cf the secretary of the interior, has issued the following ruling:

Pursuant to the act of congress approved March 1.1889, whenever a pension certlflcate of any character, orginal, Increase, restoration, arrears or otherwise, shall have been tssed by this bureau, and the benellclary mentioned therein Is found to have died before payment, the amount due on said certificate to the date o( said pensioner's death, will be paid to the widow of such pensioner. If there be no widow, then said amount will be paldjto the minor child or children

of said deceased pensioner. If thawteflelther^^

Mr. David G. Tate petitioned the council to remit taxes on $6,000, for which he had been taxed, on the ground that he had been taxed on $6,600 he had loaned to the city in 1888 and that $6,000 of that mony was not his personal property. Referred to the committee on taxes. A petition signed by ten property owners asked that 912 south Second street be condemned as unsafe. Referred to the committee on public improvements. Several property owners in the neighborhood of Sycamore street, at its junction with Seventh street, petitioned to have the right to build a private sewer. Referred to the committee on sewers and wharves and city engineer. The deputies appointed by City Assessor Captain

said deceased pensioner wfllln the discretion of the secretary of the Interior be paid to the executor or administrator of his estate. Minor children as contemplated by this act are minors recognized as such by the law of the locality In which the pensioner lived.

What Sherman and Blaine Want. NEW YOBK, April 2.—The Sun's Washington special says: Senator Sherman and James Gillespie Blaine were thA most distinguished visitors the president had to-day. Their object was to state to the president that in their opinion Mr. Halstead's name ought to be sent to the senate again, and in the event of a second rejection or a failure to confirm, he should be appointed during a recess "and immediately enter upon his. duties. They were contented to let the president consider the matter awhile- without pressing him for an immediate expression. General Harrison is said to have been greatly troubled over the party break in the senate, and said he wanted time to consider the matter further. His visitors retired uncertain as to what the president would do.

Some of Mr. Halstead's friends think that if he were appointed in the recess, and his name went to the senate next winter, he would be confirmed by the votes from the newly admitted states.

important Offices Yet to Be Filled. WASHINGTON, April 2.—There are a number of important offices yet to be filled by nomination of the president, and appointment by heads of departments. These include the following: Justice of the supreme court, solicitor genera], commissioner of the general land office, commissioner of Indian affairs, public printer, superintendent of the bureau of engraving and printing, minister to Germany, minister to China, consuls general to Liverpool and Paris and all the consulates, the officers of the District of Columbia, including two commissioners, marshal, recorder of deeds and register of wills, two civil service and one inter-state commerce commissioner, local officers at New ifork and Philadelphia, postmasters, collectors, and surveyors of the port, etc. To-day's developments indicate that the office of public printer will be bestowed upon none of the gentlemen who have been so far named in connection with it.

Washington Notes.

There was a reduction of over thirteen million dollars In the public debt during March. Major Marquis A. Reno, formerly of the United States army, died at the Providence hospital.

It is understood that the president has decided to appoint W. B. Roberts, of Tittlsville, Pa., to succeed Bayless Hanna.

The state department has been officially Informed that Sir Julian Ptiuncefote, the new British minister to the United States, will sail for New York on the 13th Inst.

It Is said on good authority that President Harrison formally tendered the EugUsli mission to Chauncey M. Depew, but he declined It, and that Mr. Joseph Medell then suggested to him the name of Mr. Lincoln.

The change in the offices of treasurer and assistant treasurer at New York will necessitate a count of all the moneys and securities In both offices. This Is a work of great magnitude and will take at least four weeks to accomplish. The bonds of Treasurer' Hyatt and Assistant Treasurer McCue will hold until the count is completed and their accounts are settled. The appointees. Mr. Huston and Roberts, will assume their new duties, however, as soon as their bonds have been approved.

A statement prepared at the treasury department shows there was a net Increase of $2,275,780 in circulation during the month of March, and a net decrease of $368,059 -In money and bullion In the treasury during the same period. The Increase In circulation was mainly In silver certificates and United States notes. The total circulation April 1st Is stated at $1,406,481,676, and the total money'and bullion In the treasury on the same date at S657.813.2S6. Late this afternoon Secretary Wlndom received an offer to sell $2,000.000 worth of 4-per-cent bonds to the government at $1.09y. It was not accepted.

The South Pacific Hurricane AUCKLAND, N. Z., April 2.—The recent hurrioane in the South Pacific ocean swept over 1,200 geographical miles, embracing in its track the Hervey and_ Society groups of islands. The American ship Red Cross, from New South Wales for San Francisco, was driven ashore at Raratongo, and wrecked. The crew were saved. The American ship Ada Owen was wrecked at Ouara. Her crew were saved. Wreckage from the British ship Suakim, from New South Wales for San Francisco, was seen at Aitutaki. It is supposed that the crew perished. 3.

Ships For Samoa.

AUCKLAND, April 2.—The government of New Zaaland has placed the steamship Hinemoa. a vessel of 542 tons, atthe disposal of Admiral Kimberly in consequence of the loss of the American men-of-war at Samoa during the recent hurricane there. The British cruiser Rapid, of 1,120 tons and mounting twelve guns, has sailed hence for Samoa. One hundred and twenty officers and men belonging to the German war ships wrecked at Samoa have arrived here en route to Germany.

Sympathy of English Naval Officers. WASHINGTON, April 2.—Secretary Traoey to-day received from Lord Beresford, of the British navy, the following cablegram: *V

LONDON, April 2.

Last Night's Fire.

The fire department was called to Seventh and Main streets at 11 o'clock last night by a fire in Greiner's shoe factory. The fire was extinguished without the aid of the department, but not until about one hundred dollars' worth of shoes had been destroyed. The tire is supposed to have originated by one of the workmen leav ing a lamp, by which he warms his tools, burning.

MEETING OFTBE CITY COUNCIL

The Scheme now Is to Build Sewer irom Water to Fifth Street.

THE E. & T. H. Poplar Street Tracks ^Muzzles tor tbe Dogs— Other Business.

The city council held an unimportant session last night, and consumed more time with miscellaneous discussion than in transacting business., A petition from the widow of Major Holden, who recently died from the effects of injuries received from being run oyer by the hose reel of the fire department, asking the council' to pay, funeral- exBsnssarUa i«jr

A-

Haley were approved. The city engineer reported that the sewer fund in the treasury would be sufficient to build the Main street sewer from Water street to Sixth street, but that it would leave no surplus and would leave the sewer in such condition that repairs to sidewalks would be -necessary when adjoining property-owners should be required to connect with it. For theee reasons the engineer recommended that the sewer be constructed as far as Fifth, street. The report was referred to the committee on sewers and wharves. The board of health reported .twenty-one interments for the month of March, twelve in Woodlawn cemetery and nine in Highland lawn cemetery. Superintendent of police reported 194 lights not lighted during the month of March. The superintendent of police reported 172 saloons in the city. This report was intended to have been in response to a resolution offered by Mr. Weinstein and adopted at the preceding meeting of the council instructing the superintendent of police to ascertain the number of saloons that sell alcoholic, vinous, and malt liquors: the number that sell. vinouB and malt liquors, And the number that sell malt liquors. But the report did not make a distinction as the resolution instructed nor was any reason appended for failing to comply with instructions. The committee on judiciary submitted a majority and minority report concerning the petition of Francis A. Boyd for permission to construct a fire proof stand on the corner of Fourth and Ohio streets, to retail confectionaries. The majority report, signed by Messrs. Donham and Hirt, was unfavorable. The minority report, by Mr. Weinstein, was favorable. The majority report was adopted by the vote of all the Democratic members except "Messrs. Walsh and Seidentopf the former voting with Messrs. WeinBtein, Storz and Van Valzah for the minority report, and the latter being absent. Dr. Weinstein supported his report on the ground of equity, saying that Mr. Boyd had obtained the consent of adjoining property owners, and did not construct the stand without asking the council's consent, as others have done, but chose to pursue the legal course.

A plat of a part of lot 12 in Spencer's subdivision, and of lot 48 in Fecheimer's subdivision, submitted by W. W. Oliver, was approved by the council. A resolution to pave the north side of Sycamore street, between Seventh and Ninth streets,with bricks, was adopted. A report from the committee on streets and bridges to pave the sidewalk in front of St. Stephen's Church and Seventh street, between Main and Cherry streets, was concurred in by the council. The committee on railroads confessed their inability to proceed in the matter of ascertaining the number of tracks maintained by the E. & T. H. railroad across Poplar street without permission, and gave as a reason that they did not know how nor where to commence. The city attorney was added to the committee.

An ordinance compelling owners of dogs to muzzle their dogs, and imposing a fine of not less than one dollar and not more than twenty-five dollars for allowing unmuzzled dogs to run at large, andmaking persons in whose yards or houses such dogs should be found guilty under the act, was submitted by the city attorney. and approved by a vote of 9 to 2,'Messrs. Storz and O'Sullivan voting nay. The latter gave as his reason for opposing the ordinance that the number of dogs had not increased more rapidly within the last twenty years than the number of persons had increased. The time for the payment of city taxes was extended from April 15th to May 15th.

A resolution to repair and re-gravel Wabash avenue from Water street to Tenth street was referred to the committee on streets and bridges.

The mayor announced that he had been requested to inform the council that the telephone company desired to make a new contract with the city| and by that contract to reduce the number of free telephones from eeven to two, the two free telephones to be at fire department headquarters and at police headquarters. The mayor also announced that the new contract would increase the cost of all telephonee employed by the city except one. The matter was received very unkindly by the council and referred to the several committees interested in departments of the city in which telephones were used, and the hint appended that such a contract would cause the council to impose a license on the company for the use of streets and alleys for telephone poles and wires. This may mean a fight.

The committee on streets and bridges asked for an appropriation of $1,500 more then had been appropriated to that

Nearly every office in Bight was captured by the Democrats. Later returns show that all their candidates on the city ticket are elected by pluralities averaging about twelve thousand. The north and west town tickets of the Democrats go in and they secure the circuit judge. Considerable gain in the number of Democratic aldermen is also conceded, the only Republican success was in hanging on to the south town offices by a very narrow margin.

The St. L011U Election.

ST. LOUIS, April

2.-—The

municipal

election passed off quietly, though the interest has never lagged, and the bulletin boards at the newspaper offices are now surrounded by great crowds, who howl lustily at the returns from each precinct, be they Democratic or Republican. Up to this hour, 9:30

turns are in from about one-fourth of the voting precincts of the city, showing the following result: Butler (Rep), for mayor, 6,403

claim is based on comparisons with the vote of November last. Complete returns from the twentyeight wares of the city show that Judge E. A. Noonan (Dem.), for mayor, has a total vote of 28,715

The Democrats elect the aud

itor, inspector of weights and measures, register, and but one of the five councilmen, while the Republicans secure collector, comptroller, treasurer,president of the board -of public iiupiov*m«nta and four councilmen. The house of delegates will be eighteen Republicans and eleven Democrats. The result of to day's election, while a surprise to many" in the face of the overwhelming Republican majority last November, was not unexpected by certain elements of the Republican party. The nomination of Colonel James G. Butler for the mayoralty was claimed to have been secured by a free use of money, and the following of D. P. Slattery, his opponent in the convention, were bent on revenge. In addition to this factor in the contest, Judge Noonan represented the liberal or saloon element, while Colonel Butler was a recognized silk stocking, with prohibitory tendencies. The defeat of General McNeil for auditor is attributed to h:'s war record. On the remainder of the ticket, personal strength entered largely into the contest, and politics played but a email part. It was a young man's progressive policy as against an old man's conservative idea of municipal government.

LONDON, April 2.—Henry M. Stanley's letter describee the journey between Yambunga and Albert Nyanza. It goes much into detail and is very interacting. Mr. Stanley, after stating the orders given by him to Major Barttelot, goes on to describe the advance of the columns.

men, etStecr "froiri

Yambunga on June 28th, 1887, Stanley says his troubles began in August, when his men.began deserting him, which, with starvation, caused a loss of fifty-five men in a short time.

Mr. Stanley continues: "Our sufferings terminatek at Ibidwiri. We were beyond the reach of destroyers. We were on virgin eoil in a populous region abounding with food. We ourselves were mere skeletons. From 389 persons we now numbered 174.- Several of the party seeming to have no hope of life left, a halt was therefore ordered for the purpose of recuperating. Hitherto our people were sceptical of what we told them. The suffering had been so awful, the calamities so numerous and the forests so endless that they refused to believe that by and by we would see plains and cattle, the Nyanza and Emin Pasha. We halted for thirteen days at Ibidwiri, revelling on fowls goats, bananas, corn, yame, etc. The supplies were inexhaustible and our people glutted themselves with such effect that we bad 173 sleek and robust men. One had been killed with an arrow. When we Btarted for Albert Nyanza, on November 24, we were still 126 miles from the lake. At Kilongalonga, on the 9th, we entered the country of the powerful chief, Mazambom. The villages were scattered so thickly that no road except through them could be found. The natives sighted UB, but we were prepared. We seized a hill as soon as we arrived in the center of a mass of villages, and built a zareba as fast as bill hooks could cut the brushwood. The war cries were terrible from hill to "hill, pealing across the intervening valleys. The people gathered in hundreds at every point, war horns and drums announcing the struggle. After a slight skirmish, ending in our capturing a cow, the first beef we had tasted sinee we left the ocean, the night passed peacefully, both sides nreDarinaL for the morfoW. "When one day's march from the Nyanza, natives came from Kavali and said that a white man named Malejja had given their chief a black packet to give me, his son. Would I follow them, they asked?" "Yes. to-morrow," I answered "and if your words are true, I will make you rich." They remained with ua that night, telling us wonderful stories about big ships as large as islands filled with men, etc., which left no doubt in our minds that the white man was Emin Paaha. The next day's march brought us to Chief Kavali. After awhiie he handed me a note from Emin Pasha, covered with a strip of black American oilcloth. The note was to the effect that as there had been a native rumor to the effect that a white man had been seen at the south end of the lake, he had gone in a steamer to make inquiries, but had been unable to obtain reliable information. He begged me to remain where I was until he could communicate with me. The next day, April 23, Mr. Jephson was dispatched with a strong force to take the boat to the Nyanza. On the 26th tho boat's crew sighted Mawa station, the southern most belonging to Emin Pasha. Mr. Jephson was there hospitably received by the Egyptian garrison. The boat's crew say that they were embraced one by one, and that they never had such attention shown to them as by these men, who hailed them as brothers. On April 29 we once again reached the bivouac ground occupied by us on December 16, and at 5 p. m. of that day I saw the khedive steamer about seven miles away steaming up toward us. Soon after 7 p. m. Emin Pasha, Signer Casata and Mr. Jephson arrived at our camp, where they were heartily welcomed by all of us. Next day we moved to a better camping place, about three miles above Nyamaraie, and at this spot Emin Paaha also made hie camp. We were together until May 25, when I left him, leaving Mr. JepbBon, three Soudanese and two Zanzibaris on his care. In return he caused to accompany me three of his irregulars and 102 mahdi natives as porls's. Four teen days later I was at Fort Bodo. At the fort were Captain Nelson and Lieutenant Stairs. The latter had returned from Ugarrowwas twenty-two days after I had set out for the lake, bringing with him only sixteen men out of fiftysix. All the rest were dead. "Before closing, let me touch more largely upon the subject which brought me here, viz: Emin Pasha. He has two battalions of regulars, the first consisting of about seven hundred and fifty rifles and the second of 640 men. Besides these battalions he has quite a respectable force of irregulars—sailors, artisans, clerks and servants." "Altogether," Emin says, "if I can't go away from here, we shall have about eight thousand people with us. Were I in your place, I would not hesitate a moment or for a second be in doubt what to do. What you say is quite true. But we have such a large number of women and children— probably one thousandpeople altogether —how can they nil be brought out of here? We shall want a number of carriers.-" "Carriers for what?" I asked, "For the women and children. You surely would not leave them, and they can not travel." "The women must walk. It will do them more good than harm. As for the little children, load them on donkeys hear you have about two hundred. Your people will not travel very far the first month, but little by little they will get accustomed to it. Our Zanzibar women crossed Africa on my second expedition.

Why can not your blaok women do the

same? Have no fear of them they will do better than the men." "They would require a vast amount of provisions for the road." "True, but you have thousands of cattle, I believe. Those will furnish beet and the countries through which we pass must furnish grain and vegetable food." "Well, we will defer further talk until to-morrow." "The conversation with the pasha took place on May 1,1888, during a halt in camp at Nzabe. The paaha came shore from the steamer Khedive next day about one p. m. In a short time we commenced our conversation again. Many of the arguments used above were repeated. He said: 'What you told me yesterday has led me to think it best that we should retire from here. The Egyptians are very willing to leave. There are of those about one hundred men, besides their-women and children. I should be glad to be rid of them, because they undermine my authority and nullify all my endeavors for retreat. When I informed them that Khartoum had fallen «ad that Gordon Pasha.was slain, they alwayB told "thS^ubiinf that- ft Wto a concocted story, and that some day we should Bee steamers sscending the river for their relief. But of the regulars I am extremely doubtful. They have led such a Iree and happy life here that they would demur at leaving a country where they have enjoyed luxuries they cannot command in Egypt. The soldiers married, and several have harems. Many irregulars would also retire and follow me. Now, supposing the regulars refuse to leave, you can imagine the position would be a difficult one. Would I be right in leaving them to their fate? Would it not be consigning them all to. ruin? I should have to leave them their arms and ammunition, and on returning all discipline would be ended. Disputes would arise, factions would be formed, the more ambitious would aspire to be chiefs by force, and from theee rivalries would spring hate and mutal slaughter, until there would be none left.'" "Supposing you resolve to stay, what of the Egyptians?" I asked. "O, these I shall have to ask you to be good enough to take with you." "Thus, day after day, I have recorded faithfully my interviews with Emin Pasha, but these extracts reveal enough for you to understand the position. I left Mr. Jephson thirteen Soudanese and sent a message to be read to the troops, as the pasha requested. Everything else is left until I return with the united expedition to Nyanza, within two months. "The pasha proposed to visit Fort Bodo, taking Mr. Jephson with him. At Fort Bodo I have left instructions to the officers to destroy the fort and accompany the pasha to Nyanza, as I intend making a short cut to Nyanza along a new route.

HENKY M. STANLEY."

THE AMALGAMATED SCALE.

A Contest Between the Union and Heater* and Roller*. PITTSBURG, Pa., April v.—Tne proposed advance in wagee, which will be demanded bv the roughera and catchers in the different rolling mills of the Am algamated association, will cause an internal tight in that organization which may result in a serious split. The advance, if it is granted, will reduce the WBges ot the heatars and rollers. Of course, they will oppose it, and as they are in the majority they will be able to defeat the union. When this is done the roughera and catchers, who look upon the present division of wages as unjust, may withdraw from the organization and enter upon a prolonged strike. It will not be a fight of capital and labor, but will be labor arrayed against labor. The present scale allows the roughers one-eighth of the tonnage and they think it should be changed to allow them one-seventh. If it is changed the advance will come off the wages of the heaters and rollers

Confirmations.

WASHINGTON, April 2.—In executive session to-day there was continued objection to the personnel of the delegation to the congress of American nations, but it availed nothing. Senator Beck characterized the Democratic members as mugwumps, who were not recognized as belonging to the party at all, and be did not think it fair to have them pose before the country as representatives of the Democratic party. However, they were all confirmed. A motion was made to reconsider the vote by which the nomination of Andrew Carnegie was confirmed, but only six or eight senators voted for it. In the course of the session etf rts were made to remove the injunction of secrecy from the votes on the motions to confirm the nominations of Whitelaw Reid to be minister of France, and of Murat Halstead to be minister to Germany, but they were unsuccessful.

On the calendar of nominations that of Edwin I. Kensheadt, to be United States marshal for the eastern district of Louisiana, and of William H. Whiteman to be an associate justice of the United States court in New Mexico, were the most prominent of those that failed of confirmation.
