the oath of office was administered to him by the Speaker. Tho House then adjourned. The sub-comniittfo of tho House committee on elections has decided to recommend that the full committee report to the House a resolution providing for a searching inquiry by the sub-committee of tho committee into the events attending tho nssaMsination of Clayton, who was a con

It will bo necessary for the subcommittee to go to Arkansas, but it is not likely that they will do so before ApriL SAL3ION-EATIKO SENATORS, Two Finny 3Ionter from Colombia River Cause a Suspension of Public Business. "Washington', March 5. In the Senate to-day, on motion of Mr. Turpie, the Senate bill appropriating $100,000 for a public building at Lafayette, Ind., was taken from tho calendar and passed. .The bill increasing the pension of the widow of General Warren was taken up, and on the question of its passage the vote was, yeas, 10; nays, 6. As there was no quorum voting there was a call of the Senate, when thirty-six Senators (still less than a quorum), answered to theirnames. Thereupon a motion was made by Mr. Piatt, and was agreed to, directing the Sergeant-at-arins to request the attendance of absent Senators. The names of .the absentees were furnished to the Sergeant-at-arms, who then proceeded to execute the order of the Senate. After some minutes t tho presiding officer Mr. Ingalls, informed the Senate that the Sergeant-at-arms had just reported to him that there were twentytwo Senators in the restaurant: that they had been all notified to attend; and that they had declined to do so. This report clouded the face of the presiding ofheer with a portentous frown; Dut it was dissipated a few minutes later when some of the disobedient Senators explained to him that when the Sergeant-at-arms appeared they were discussing the merits of two Colnmbia-river salmon, weighing between thirty-rive and forty pounds each, which had been shipped to CoL J. P. Montgomery, of Portland, Ore., who is visiting Washington, and by him served up for the delectation of friends in the upper house. Mr. Hawley remarked that there were several Senators in the Supreme Court, where an interesting case (the Ragle caso) was going on. Mr. Piatt moved that the Senate adjourn. Mr. Harris I ask the gentleman from Connecticut to withdraw the motion, so that I may make another motion which, I think, is legitimate under the rule, and that is that the Sergeant-at-arms be requested to compel tho attendance of absent Senators. The question was taken on the question to adjourn, and it was rejected yeas 17, nays 26. The Chair then annoanced that, as there was a quorum present, and as the hour of 2 o'clock had arrived, the educational bill ws before the Senate as unfinished business, and that the Warren pension bill ' would remain on the calendar. After Mr. Barbour had addressed the Senate in advocacy of tho educational bill, and Mr. Plumb in opposition, the Senate went into executive session, and soon adjourned. E ABLY-MORNING FLAMES.

I., March 5.-Last night a gang of fire-bugs made a desperate attempt to confoso the firo department of Central Falls and Valley Falls by kindling simultaneous fires in tho various quarters at 1 o'clock in the morning.

The intensity of the depression which prevails in the ingrain carpet-makinc industry has resulted in a concerted eliort by manufacturers to deviso means of relief. A committee appointed some weeks ago by tho manufacturers' association has received sufficient support to warrant it in ad rising a stoppage of 25 per cent, of the looms now in operation for nine months.

The cabled announcement of the death of young Abraham Lincoln, in London, this morning, though not unexpected, was received in this city with deep regret. His father, Robert T. Lincoln, the only surviving son of the martyr President, has made his home in this city for many years, and, besides gathering about him a large circle of warm friends, has challenged the admiration of his fellow-citizens who aro.not personally acquainted with him, by a display of exceptional ability in the public position to which he has been called. It is known that Mr. Lincoln was very averse to accepting the position which he now occupies. His son Abraham, a boy of seventeen, became ill Boon after his arrival in London and remained so to the hour of his death. To friends from Chicago whom ho saw in London, even at a time when it was supposed that the sufferer would recover, Mr. Lincoln expressed a very earnest sorrow that he had permitted himself to bo influenced, to accept the position. The death of young Abraham is a particularly poignant grief to his parents, and a special loss to the world, because he was Mr. Lincoln's only bod, and with him the male line of the Lincolns threatens to become ex tinct. A Favorite In Washington. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Washington, March 5. Col. Thomas F. Barr. who was military secretary to non. Robert Lincoln when he was Secretary of War, said to-day, when he heard of the sad news of young Abraham Lincoln's death, in London: "Poor Jack; he was one of the dearest, brightest, most lovable boys on earth; absolutely unspoiled, frank, interesting and promising. His father fairly idolized him, and gave, him almost his entire thought. When the family were preparing to go to London last 6pring I asked Mr. Lincoln what he intended to do with-Jack, and he said that that was giving him' more anxiety than, any question he had vet encountered. . lie bad wanted him to keep ou with his college work, and had laid out a course of study for him in preparation for his future life. His death will almost break his heart." All through the department are heard expressions of grief at tho death of the minister's son. His was a familiar faco around the vicinity of hisr father's ofiice during the latter's term as Secretary of War, and during that period the otlicials learned to love the bright little fellow, for whom everybody hart a pleasant word, and who always had a bright reply ready. The President has sent a message of condolence to Minister Lincoln. THE KAISER AT A BANQUET. A Speech In WhJcb, Germany's Emperor Outlines What Course ITe Will Follow. Berlin, March 5.

"I have seen," he 6aid, "the starry firmament at night in the high seas, and I came to very different thoughts. I have learned to judge of politics from tho outside. Over-hasty steps have thereby been prevented. I shall follow the traditions of my grandfather, who marked out for me tho path I intend to walk. To him who is with me I am grateful, and I shall know how to cope with him who is against me. If we aro attacked a great and gallant army will stand by my side." The Kmperor remained three hours, conversing in a cay and cordial manner with those about him. Another version of the Emperor's speech at the Kaiserhof banquet says that the Emperor threatened to crush any one opposing him. The Emperor will hold a drawing-room on tho 10th inst. ANOTHER STORM AT APIA. Experience of the Steamer Adams in Reaching Fago-Fago Lying Germans. Baltimore, March 5. A correspondent of the Sun, on board the United States steamer Adams, writes from Apia, Samoa, under date of Jan. 8, giving an account of the vessel's experience with one of the storms peculiar to that part of the world. He says it was not so severe as some of the hurricanes on tho Atlantic coast, and that if heed is paid to the barometer vessels have araulo time to get out of the harbor. The Adams was anchored at Apia when the barometer began falling rapidly, and immediately got up steam and escaped to Pago-Pago, weathering tho brunt of the storm on tho way. Tho land-locked harbor of Pago-Pago was a safe refuge, the water being as smoth as a billiard-table. Tho Adams stayed there a. week, and returned to Apia eight da3s later. The correspondent says: "The German cruiser Aluxauderine went to sea, on account of the gale, the same day we did. She went fifty miles north of Upotu islands, and weathered the storm at sea. Thcj' had two days of bad weather, and a very uncomfortable time. She returned here last Wednesday, and left just before wo came in. When the Alexanderino arrived here, about a month ago, she took our berth and cut our buoy adrift. When we met the German officers they deliberately lied about it. When the Alexanderine left we saw the German sailors deliberately cut our buoys adrift with a hatchet. We sent an officer over before she left, and, with Bismarckian diplomacy. they sam they had not cut them, but only cleared it. We seut out a boat to pick up the buoys they had cut adrift, although they said they did not cut them. The Alcxanderino was hero from Wednesday until Monday, and could have replaced the buoys on our anchors, but did not.

Subsequently a mob went to a house at Landdrost. where Mr. Kruger was receiving a deputation, and sang "RnleSUritannia." The railings around the house were destroyed by the crowd, and the Transvaal Hag, which floated from a pole in front of the house, was pulled down and trampled under foot by the excited people. TILE LONDON SCANDAL

Sir. Labouchere Insists that Ilammond Was Assisted In Escaping to America. London, March 5. Mr. Labouchere, in an interview on the subject of tho Cleveland-street scandal, said it could not be denied that Hammond was assisted to escape. The books at Cook's tourist office, he said, show that Mr. New ton, th!b solicitor of Lord Arthur Somerset, bought tickets to America for Hammond and the boy who accompanied the latter in his flight. There aro also a number of letters which prove that Hammond was assisted to leave the country. Mr. Labonchere said it was untrue that Hammond was paralyzed. On the contrary, he was always in good health, and was well aware of everything that was going on at the Cleveland-street house. Hammond's wife and sister, who kept house for him, also knew the character of the place. Mr. Labouchere had not heard of the Beveridge honse in Kuston road. and was skeptical as to its existence.

Inquiring Into the Woodslde Tragedy Was the Saloon-Keeper Murdered? 8peclal to the Indianapolis Journal. Clay City, March 5. Andrew Alexander, who was burned up in his house, at Woodside, last Sunday night, had been on a spree with Andrew Stevenson and William Wilson. They were together at Alexander's saloon until 10 o'clock Sunday night, when Steveuson's boy took him home, leaving Wilson and Alexander together. Alexan der lived alone, cooking and eating in a small shanty five or six feet from the saloon. About 11 o'clock this shanty was discovered on fire. John Smurdon burst tho door open, and the llames forced him back. It was soon discovered that Alexander was in the tire. When discovered ho was lying across tho stove-pipe. with his head, both arms and both legs burned off. All the tlesh was burned from his skull, and the body was a shapeless mass. Stevenson savs Alexander had con siderable money on his person when he last saw him. The coroner's inquest, held to-day, devel oped tho fact that he was soiling whisky without a license, and his saloou was tho only one in the village, which is composed 01 miners at work in the .Lancaster mines. Considerable lawlessness and crime havo been committed in the neighborhood dur ing the past few months, while the ofticers of the law havo been derelict, causing White Cap warnings to be sent to vari ous parties. A saloon in a neighboring town was recently blown up by dynamite. Another saloon-keeper, a year ago. was warned by White uaps to leave. Tho saloon may have been burned as the result of ill-feeling, without intention, how ever, of killing Alexauder. It has been developed, also, that Alexander had consider able money about him, which has been missing since tho fire. He may have been murdered and then burned to cover the crime: still, it was his habit to smoke while lying in bed, and in this way his death may have been brought about Whereabouts of the Oaktown Eloper.

Atoka, I. T., March 5. It transpires that while the attention of the public was directed to Louisiana and North Dakota, the lottery people were quietly at work in tho Choctaw Nation, so quietly that the fact was generally unknown in the nation until yesterday, when the laws of tho Choctaw Nati6n appeared in pamphlet form. The lottery scheme resembles the North Dakota proposition in outline and details, and makes the proposed inducements of tho Louisiana Lottery Company to the Sugarbowl State, or an extension of its charter .s conditioned upon the paymentof an annu.U sum into the Choctaw treasury. The pamphlet comprises a total of eighty-four bills, fifty-eight of which were passed at the regular session, and six passed at tho called session of the Choctaw Legislature.

AN UNDERGROUND RAILROAD Widespread Organization for Importing . and Distributing Chinamen. Great Scheme Uncovered ty Treasury Detectives at Port Huron, Mich. Indianapolis One of the Stations on the Route. Detroit, Mich., March 5. A special to the Frco Press, from Tort Huron, Mich., gives particulars of a regular underground route for importing Chinamen iuto the United States. Last Thursday the arrest of several Chinoiuen was reported there. .Tt is now learned that the arrests were made by detcctivo Day, of the Treasury Department. Wcdnasday last Mr. Day received information that an invoice of 'opium or raw Chinamen" might he expected to cross tho river thero that night. Detective Day, in company with lpl Inspector Green, Diaced themselvcsjSn watch and their vigiJanco was rewarded by finding four Chinamen who had just been brought over from Sarnia. The quartet headed for Tick Ching's place, tho local Chinese lauudry. After fleeing them safely in, the ofticers broke open the front door of the establishment and arrested tho proprietor and a stranger one Wa Sing. As no trace of the others who were seen to enter -was found, the officers returned the following day and made a thorough investigation, but tho missing Chinamen were nowhere to bo seen until a mattress was lifted from tho bed and there lay the three missing Celestials. These wero in turn locked up. On their persons aud among ?.he belongings of tho captured "pig-tails" were found twentv-six letters addressed to difl'eiet firms in Canada and tho United States. They all had cards showing where they wero to go, this lot being addressed to Ouaug Wah, Honker Hill street, Charlestown. The party also had a complete opium-joint ontliL It appears, from information gained, that Tick Chung has contracted to pass two hundred of his fellow-countrymen for which service he receiver, f 20 per capita. On Sunday, Feb. 23, rive passed the border and went to Detroit. On Tuesday two others followed and on Wednesday the oflicers caught four. It is quite evident from the methods employed, and from documents secured from Wa Sing, that there is an organized gang engaged in this Chinese importation aud no doubt closely connected with or a prrt of tho opium smuggling gang, which had such hard luck at this point last year. The importing gang work a sort of underground railway scheme. From Wa Sing was taken a list of agents, starting at Hong Kong, China, and including Victoria. B. C; Ottawa. Toronto.
