Was the cotton in existanco at the time tho trad was made I" . asked Chairman 1'unston. lt was not," That is exactly the kind of transaction! we are reaching after." responded the chairman. The proceedings of the committer were interrupted by a yea and nay vote in the ilonsec As the members left the room they -were engaged in an animated discussion with the visiting delegations upon the merits of the recent failure of Moses Fra ley. the St. Louis broker, who Trent down tinder a too heavy load of -wheat. They -were arguin g that the failure was justification of the bill, and the visitors endeavored to show that it was a mere incident to trade, and was not an illustration of the general methods orexpertence of dealers. Chairman Funston cays that no moro hear in ers will be had. ' - The House at its evening session did no "business, but the few members present resolved themselves into a debating society, the subjects being, Tensions" and "War Claims." Mr, Enloe of Tennessee gave notice that until the House would allow private bills to bo considered on Fridays, he would allow no pension bills to be passed on inday nights. He then made a long speech in favor of the payment of Southern W3r claims. Mr. Boothman of Ohio followed with an exhaustive speech in reference to pensions. Both gentlemen were constantly interrupted, and the House was frequently in an uproar, laughter and excitement alternating. On several occasions rather personal and unparliamentary language was indulged in, but the general good humor of the Houso prevailed, and anger and indignation was laughed down. The House, at 10-.S0, adjourned. TOO JXUCn TALK IN THE SENATE.

2iw Members Xtolisve a Rale Should Be Adopted to Umlt Debate. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. "Washington, April 11. Considerable dissatisfaction is being expressed by Senators serving their first term at the long dehates which are being had upon every subject for the sole purpose of giving talkative Senators opportunity to ventilate their views. The new men believe that there is entirely too much talk for the results attained, and it is stated that they will present a resolution creating a new rule which will limit debates to one hour. Of course, they do not expect a rule of just this kind to be adopted, but it will bring abont a discussion which. they think, will result in some kind of a limit being placed upon all general debates, and a curtailment of time which a Senator may have to speak upon the subject, and that it will result in great economy. The frequent and long speeches that have been made by certain Senators in the Montana contest is the provocation for this step. After several days of debate a vote was at last reached last evening, and, in fact, the clerk began to call the roll of the Senate upon the question of seating two Republicans, when a Senator arose and began a speech which no one could stop, and it resulted in all this afternoon being taken up in talk, upon a subject , which had already been exhausted, and upon which every Senator had long since reached a conclusion and was ready to vote. Again this afternoon the Senate entered upon a yea and nay vote on this qnes- ' tion. but after four or five names were called and recorded a Democratic Senator arose, and, without any preliminaries or apology, entered anew upon a discussion of the question. Under the present rules of the Senate tt ere is no way to limit debate or take a votu upon a question until every Senator haa talked to nis heart's content. and it is a verv easv matter durintr the last i 6ta ges of a session for opponents of a propo- ? . - ll -A.

Representative Phelan has written a card for .publication in which, after giving a history of the origin of the troubs between himself and jvColonel Earning, he says: Tt struck me - ... "when I read Colonel i leming's letter to the 31 em phis paper that he had one of two ideas in his mind either that my ecrupu lous politeness was founded upon fear of him. or that he was determined to force a difliculty. He spoke of my apology as hav ing'iilltho outward seeming of a manly apology.' He says, however, that read, ac cording to its true inwardness, it ia quite as insulting, and dishonest as the one for which it is offered in apology. He says,

I vor. must pardon me for saying that I re

gard this latter note as but a crafty device etc. lie says, T am not so stnpid as to be Jed by so shallow an artifice into the acceptance of any such pretended occur rence.' "As soon as I read this lettor I sent him a -message, which, it seemed to me. his letter was intended to provoke. I addressed this rersonally to him. 1 expected a reply which would be a challenge tome, or enable xne to send him a challenge, for my message was not a challenge. Colonel lemingl iiowever, held my message for two days and then published it From one who had iweuied so anxious to force me to the wall. 2 did not expect the plea that he ignored the code. Now, I do not undertake to dejfond the so-called 'code.' Its barbarity is Htili an issue between England and the entiro continent of Europe. I frankly confess I can lind no more excuse for the code than for anything else which leads to violence or personal injury. But I have never ; been able to see the moral distinction bev tween doing another a malicious mis chief, forbidden by the laws :it God, and offering an expiation i bcrbidden also by the laws of man. lint I ( do regard its laws as purely conventional and only binding on those who voluntarily assume them. I have the hi chest admira tion for the moral coaraco of the man whose whole life of justice toothers and upright intercourse) wnn his leuow-men jusuxy him in repudiating a resort to violence. But when repudiation of the code is used as a shield to protect one who is anything but just to otners, and when the overbear ing, the malicious and the domineering. unexpectedly cheesed in the role of bully. cry out against it. I naturally imagine that U the fear ot injury to the person and tho TfcpuIse of cowardico invest the so-called code with a decree of barbarity which is , convenient if not admirable. That 1 acted hastily in sending a message designed to . elicit a challenge to a man who ignores the code! readily admit, lint having been warned to 'handle him carefully I assume that the bullying tone of his refusal to accept a hearty apology was the result, among other contingencies, of overweening personal courage. The refusal to accept my apology on the part of a man whom I supposed to be brave, tilled me with inexpressible humiliation, at which i now smile. Colonel Fleming, in his answer, says I have made myself ridiculous. This is true. But then I did not know Colonel Fleming as I do now. He refers to the fact that denunciation follows the refusal to accept a challenge. I did not challenge him. If I had and ho had entered his pleaof contempt for . the codo, 1 should certainly do as I now do, have accepted his estimate of the code in . the pending issue. As for 'posting' him, I think that even a desire to press this ridiculous all air would not have justified this. He has posted himseif. I am ready to accept the verdict of those who reject the code that 1 acted in a manner that was unjustifiable. But in view of the bulljing to which I was subjected, and in view of the ecornful and insulting refusal to accept an unequivocal and frank apology. I think 1 can safely leave to that portion of the world wuicn is orave. just and generous, to sa whether what 1 did w as without palliation. WOItJLD'S FAIIt B1XT, AMENDED.

JOUBNEYMEN AND MASTERS

Chicago Carpenters and Their Employ ers Fail to Come to an Agreement. Ultimatum of Bosses and Demands of Strikers So Settlement Possible Unless the Union Is Kecojiized Other Labor Troubles. Chicago, April 11. It is thought the action of the Master Carpenters Association, last night, in deciding not to concede the strikers' demands has done away -with all hope of a speedy settlement of the great strike. Tho resolutions adopted by the masters favor tho eight-hour day, but says, as there are differences in the abilities of workmen, and as it is a matter regulated greatly by supply and demand, a uniform rate of wages is out of the question. As to recognition of the union, the resolutions say: "As the Carpenters Council is not the ruler of a majority of the journeymen carpenters of Chicago, and much less of tho better class of mechaics, and is not wholly composed of carpenters, but, of labors agitators, we can enter into no agreement with them, which, from their nature, they would be unable to fulfill their part." The masters also issued a long address to the public setting forth their side of the case. The strikers say the resolutions misrepresent some of their demands.-They say they have not asked for a uniform rate of wages, but a minimum of 40 cents per honr. The masters' resolutions, as mentioned in lust night' dispatches, do not bind the members by any agreement which the association may make in its corporate capacity, and, according to the interpretation of several of the bosses, leaves each employer free to accede to the demands of his employes if he sees fit. The association will not give in. It is understood that several of the bosses will endeavor to secure nonunion men at once. Secretary Howard, of the Carpenters' Council, after reading the association resolutions, said: "We have been frank to acknowledge the animus of our light the desire to gain recognition and fair dealings as an organization. The contractors have been equally outspoken in denunciation of organized effort on our part. It is now simply a contest between two associations the one willing and other unwilling to recognize the other, and it remainsto be seen which is the more powerful. We certainly have numbers on our side. We have, also, capital to back us and systematized lines of procecduro to follow. We have sought arbitration, and now that the die is cast we do not fear the issue." "Will the action of the master carpenters introduce a change of policy on your part!" "That I cannot tell. Had they appointed an arbitration committee, ours would have met it on fair terms. It nowdevolves upon the United Carpenters Council to determine what further steps shall be taken. It may be that the same general course will be followed uaracly, to draw off men who may be induced to resume work, and prevent others from coming to the city. However, it is more than likely that the methods adopted by the bosses will influence ours." . . . . . Now, that each side in tho carpenters' strike has issued its ultimatum, the trouble eeems to have settled down to a question of endurance, and the general impression is that the tight will be a protracted one. Tho boss carpenters say they propose to go to Work to hll the strikers' places on Monday next. About fifty employers who are not members of the Master Carpenters' Association held a meeting to-night, and after forming an organization appointed au arbitration committee to meet a similar committee from the journeymen. The new organization is composed of the smaller bosses, each of whom employs from three to live workmen. The journeymen's executive council tonight issued another address to the public reiterating the demands for a fixed minimum rate of wages and an eight-hour day. A vigorous denial is entered to the pleas that the masters' association is a purely social affair, and that the council could not enforce its sido of an agreement. Threatened Strike of Trainmen. Pittsburg, Pa., April 12 A meeting of the Federation of liailroad Employes has been called for Sunday evening. It is said action relative to the discharge of sixteen of tho oldest conductors on the Fort Wayno line is the object. Tho rumor is that the company will be asked to state why these men were discharged. One of the conductors said: "If that information ia withheld wo will ask for their reinstatement. If that request is disregarded wo may call out all trainmen." "Considerable dissatisfaction exists among brakemen on passenger traina," said one of them to-day. "because it seems to bo the policy of the company to keep us out of the line of promotion. Baggagemen aud freight conductors are promoted, but we, who get the practical experience of tho operation of trains, are held in tho same position. It is not right, aud the boys want some change." An othcial of tho Pennsylvania Comnanv stated this afternoon that the men had been discharged for good cause, and it would be foolish for the employes to mako a demand for their reinstatement. One Thonsand Workmen Ordered Oat. New York, April j 11. Owing to a disagreement between the Central Labor Union and Paulsen ' & Eagar, the Green Point iron-works contractors, the carpenters, stair-builders, steam-titters, plumbers and house smiths 'employed on soveral large buildings down town were ordered out at 2 o'clock this afternoon. The ironworkers refused to employ union men. At least 1.0C0 men aro out. It wassaid to-night that the plantercrs and brick-layers did r.ot join in tho strike, having distinct organizations of their own, from which orders to quit work must emanate. The other trades laborers were not surprised at the order from the Central Labor Union,'and were ready to stop work. Delegates from tbo Central Union were around tho buildings maintaining order, and the walk-out was characterized by order and quiet. It is said negotiations lor a settlement aro already in progress. Milwaukee Carpenters. Milwaukee, Wis., April 11. There is a strong probability that the carpenters of Milwaukee will go on a strike May 1. A letter embodying a formal demand of the union carpenters for the adoption of the eight-hour system has been sent by Secretary Stein, of the Carpenters' Council, to Arthur Vogel. secretary of tho Contracting Carpenters' Association. The letter makes no reference to an increase of wages, but simply announces that on May 1 tho journeymen carpenters will expect the eighthour working day to be inaugurated, and request a reply from the contractors. The - next regular meeting of the association will be held April 10. and tho bosses will decide then whether to concede the dodemands of tho journeymen or to take the chances of a strike. Demands of Rock Island Switchmen. Chicago, Anril 11. -A conference between Manager St. John, . of the Rock Island, aud a committeo representing the switchmen employed in the company's yards took place yesterday. The switchmen demauded the removal of the general yardmaster and another obnoxious man employed in tho yards. This evening General Manager St. John said a decision in the controveisy would not bo reached before to-morrow, if then. Anything like a serious strike, he said, was out of the question. Labor and Strike 'ote. The non-socialist unions of Germany, numbering sixty-three thousand members, refuse to observe May 1 as a labor holiday. About seventy cijrar-makers were at work in the Columbia factory at Chicago, yesterday, most of them new bauds, though a few of tho strikers returned to work. The labor disorders at Vienna, Austria, were renewed in the Favoriten quarter yesterday. Tho disturbers were dispersed by the police and hussars, and mam- artests made. The Miftlfiftippl Mill Rising-. Natchez, Miss., April ll.The river rose three inches in the past twenty-four hours, and is now two inches above

A communication from Haphazard, Concordia parish, says the water from the Tensas river is running over the levees from Frogmore up. and rapidly tilling up the fields, so much so that plowing had to be suspended.

HIS FUN SPOILED. An Army Officer Goes to Xew York to See the Sights and Is Robbed of $1,000. New York, April 11. Alton Ilsen arrived in toVn March 2G. He came from Bnrlalo and v brought with him Si, 000 and some odd change. Ho is forty-four years old and had spent twenty-three of theso years in the army, and recently resigned his commission as an officer. "When Mr. Ilsen struck town ho started to inspect it. At nightfall he asked a stranger to direct him to a hotel, and was referred to the New England House, on the northwest corner of tho Bowery and Bayard street, where Mr. Ilsen engaged a room. He gave tho clerk, J. D. Williams, the $1,000 to put in tho safe. The next morning Mr. Ilsen asked for and was given $20. The following morning when he asked for the balance of his money, he was told that clerk Williams had gone and taken the money with him. UJsen was astounded, and asked the proprietor, Peter V. Husted, what he was going to do about it. Mr. Husted said that ho regretted the loss of the money but as it was no longer in the safe he could not return it to him.

Solemn Warning Duly Served Upon Ameri cana Who Persist in Drinking It. Mnrat Halstead, in Cincinnati Commercial-Gazette. It is the American habit at each meal to begin with a glass of ice-water. There is not a hotel waiter in this country who does not understand this, and act upon it. of course. Tho ice-water chills the stomach. and dilutes tho gastric juice. This prepares not for digestion, but for dyspepsia. The habit of deluging the stomach with icewater has a tendency to overwork tho heart. The first thing at the German springs where the heart is treated is to for bid the use of water. The reason is that the force pump must not be overworked. When hnman beings become sacks of water, the heart has extra work thrown upon it. and heart failure follows. The German prescription for overworked hearts is a mild cup of tea in the morning and evening, ana a pint of sour wine during the day. No cofTee and no water. In case of great thirst, the mouth may be moistened without swallowing the liquid used, and a little dish of ice-cream is permitted in the evening. There is not a bit of joke about this, aud science is behind it. One of the terrors of the times is Bright's disease, and the common story is that it is in its origin alcoholic. But not long ago an esteemed citizen of Cincinnati, who never drank a drop of spirituous or malt liquors, fermented wine or cider, died of a well-marked case of the Bright s mal ady. What is the explanation? lie was an intemperate water-drinker. The kidneys aro destroyed by torrents of drink, no mat ter what, only it is reasonable to hold that hot and cold rebellious liquors haste the decay. Here we have the three great vital organs the stomach, tho heart and the kidnevs assailed by tho abuse of water. Tho victims of ( the water habit are to be seen on all sides and counted by thousands and tens of thousands. In telligent physicians know them on sight as readily as their fellow-citizens bloated with beer or saturated with whisky. There is a style or. rotundity ana nauoiness in a make-up of which water is the chief ingredient that form a distinct type. Suffer ers from this sort of thing should begin the work of reformation at once. Drink noth ing before breakfast. Take coffee, or milk. or tea in moderation and make the amount very small at the start. Ono glass of water before the next meal is not absolutely de structive, but should be avoided, and there should be no water-drinking at all during meals, and very little drinking of any sort. AFRICA'S SNOW-CAPPED PEAK. Missionary Rebmann's Report Finally Con firmed by Dr. Hans Meyer. New York fmn. When the scientific world laughed at the humble missionary Kebnianu.who reported over forty years ago that he had found a snow-crowned mountain under the equator he merely replied: "I was brought up in Switzerland, and I ought to know a enow capped peak when 1 see one." mat was the first event in the history of modern discovery in Central Africa, and it is only within the past few weeks that we have had the details of Dr. Hans Meyer's iinal triumph over Kilimanjaro, whose snowy Kibo dome has defeated , the efforts of a number of explorers. Kebmann would have felt repaid for all the ridicule that was showered upon him if he could have 6een Dr. Meyer's com panion, a practiced Alpino climber, with his ice ax, and rope, and snow spectacles, cutting steps up tho steep ice slope. Both ciiniuers p:iuseu 10 rest every u-n wtuuies, because the rarity of the air made conn u li ons effort impossible. In these periods of rest they could dimly see the far-distant Elains through the openings in tho clouds elow them. Then, wneu on their second attemnt. three davs after their first effort. they reached the highest point in Africa. about 10,(iS0 feet above the sea, they found themselves on the edge of a great crater. over a mile across and ux) feet deep, the icy mantle sinking in terraces from the edge ot tne crater 10 tne noor, wnne inrousn a great gap in the west wall a mighty glacier. about a mile and a half long, swept down the mountain side. Seen from below the top of Kibo looks like a great snow dome, ana no one ever imagined that an abysmal crater would bo found there until Meyer stood on its edge. English Is Forcible. Boston Budget. A Frenchman who has not been long enough in this country to talk our language with easo was telling an experience he had while in search of information. He must be allowed to relate it in his own words: "I like ze language Americaine. It is so strong, so true, so discripteeve. I go to zeman zat cut my hair, zat sbavo my barbe. vot you call my beard.

Zen 1 look for dandce, and I hud that zo word is dandy, and zat it means a 'lady-killer.' Zen, when to my friend I say: 'Jacques ze Kippair is a man vat kills ladies,' he says: 'Kight you are.' 1 like ze language Americaine, it is so ezee to understand." ' - The Free-Trader. AngustA (Qa.) Chronicle (Pern.) He would try a doubtful theory, and, in tho trying of it. he would jeopardize our expanding and prosperous industries and hazard the fate of a labor system that is dignified and- ennobled because of the wages that it wins from its vantage ground over the labor of the world. No party that attempts it can survive. This country will never depart from the snro and broad road of protection that leads to manufacturing development, the elevation of labor aud national prosperity.

QUEER INDIAN LEGENDS. Mythology of the Menomlnis Exploits of Mlnlbuth. "WasTilngton Star. At the meeting of the Anthropological Societv. Tnesdav evening. Dr. W. J. Houman read a paper on the mythology of the Menomini Indians, telling many interesting folk-lore tales of that tribe. The hrst story or legend was a narrative of how the wolf became a younger brotherof the bear, associated in this usually unknown relation ship with the crane and the dog. lhe myths then ran upon the birth and wonderful exploits of one Minibush, or Mir.ibosba, wbo apparently was possessed of necromantic powers and skilled in tricks of (light of hand, such as would make even the deft Hermann envious. He lirst appeared on earth in the form of an ordinary infant, but through some mishap ho died and was transformed for a time into a little pink-eared rabbit. being afterward changed through somo Eroce?s not set down in the text, back to is original human form, endowed with supernatural powers and unusual intelligence for a North American Indian. Ho soon developed musical talents, asking, when quite a child, for his "singing sticks," which consisted of two sharp sticks, with which he beat his time for the bong. He had a peculiar habit of singing on all sorts of occasions, aud bis songs usually consisted in the repetition of a single word or a ! I .1! .a ll - two, inaicaiive oz nis ieeungs ai me When he sighed the earth trembled and caused the hills and mountains to form on the surface. According to this he must have been a very melancholy sort of an individual, for he dwelt in a region that aft erward became one of tho hardest regions to travel through that a bicycler ever struck. There was once upon a time a horrible water monster that dwelt in the river near Minibosha's Lodge, and which had tho very unneighborly habit of swallowing up all tho peaceful and law-abiding folks that he could reach. He had. by means ot the gratification of this wonderful appetite. nearly depopulated the country, when Minibush concluded to call his band, and he accordingly took his singing sticks and went out on the river on a raft, calling upon Meshunomek, which was the name of the water monster, to swallow him. The latter sent somo of his apprentices in tho swallowing business to do the Job, but this would not suit the would-bo Curtius, who insisted so strongly upon being swallowed by none but the leading artist that Meshunomek swam out and, did the act of making him a part of his anatomj'. When he had got down into tho internal arrange ments of the monster ho found thero sev eral of his old friends, somo of whom had stood the trials and wero alive. After a good deal of singing and waltzing around iu Meshunomek's stomach the rescuer put his knife into the heart of his foe, which was conveniently near at hand, and when the sea sickness, caused by tne tumblings of the animal, had worn olf he and his companions emerged from the darkness singing a song of joy, much after the fashion of llaron Munchausen. The game of base-ball undoubtedly owes its origin to this same Minibush, who is said to have devised a game of ball on the shores of Lake Michigan, in the vicinity of Mackiuaw, between the Bears and the Thunderers, for the purpose of getting an opportunity to kill a couple of isear chiefs. The game lasted all day and ended with a tie, when the umpire called darkness and lied for his life. The next day it was roBumod and brought to an abrupt conclusion by the murder of tho chiefs by Minibush, who stood near them disguised as a pine tree. For this discovery he is almost worthy of having his name given to the new base-bail nark in this city. He did not confine his blessings to the race to the line of sport, but after a desperate cllbrt managed to wrest from a great gint a sample of tobacco which the giant was keeping secret, The giant chased him over several mountains and finally tumbled in his haste headlong over a cliff and was badly bruised. He picked himself up, however, and was crawling back up to where Minibush stood lauching at him, when his linger-nails wore out and and he couldclimb no further. Then Minibush picked him and threw him down the cliff again with a tremendous force, telling him as he fell that thereafter ho should be known as the grasshopper and recognized by his tobacco-stained mouth as the enemy of the farmer. Then Minibush gave tobacco to his tribe. On one occasion, when ho was chased to the top of a tree standing on a mountain by the waters sent out by some of his enemies, he made the troe grow to twice its heiffht and repeated the operation four times. Then, as a last resort, he called on the Great Spirit for aid, and the wators stopped coming. This left a rather large lake but very little earth. So Minibnsh sent down to the bottom for a bit of earth. After killing a mink, an otter and a beaver in this attempt ho finally found a muskrat with breath enough to go down and bring up somo soil, with which he made a new earth. THE "MAN SERPENT. Remarkable Performance of a Contortionist, Apparently "Without Rones. London Titbits. "Come in." It ia an invitation in response to a gentle rap for admission to cntertheilressing-room of a man who has proved au anatomical pnzzlo to all the leading physicians of Europe and America. Five hundred doctors of Paris, and a similar number at Berlin, assembled to try to lind out how he contrives, when in ordinary attire, to turn his head and body completely around without moving his lepa. For a whole week, forfivo hours daily, they measured very bone and muscle in his body, but it remains as great a mystery as ever. 'l am jnst having a littlo practice." he paid, as we seated, ourselves on a largo wardrobe basket. "I always do this for half an hour every night before going on the stage. It is very necessary so as to circnlate the blood and get the muscles eas5 JSome people think my bones are I rcken, but. believo me, they are not even ucksd. It all comes by hard work and practice. I am now twenty-six years of ace, and have been practically tying myself tin in knots for tho last seventeeu years. When I was at school I used to amuse myself and schoolfellows by doing this, aud then, after a time, 1 went witn a teacher lor ton years, and practiced from five to sir hours every day, ncvermlssingau opportunity of standing on and walking about on my hauds. At eighteen years of age I was earning 10 a week that is the average salary of tbo contortionist but now 1 get 100 a week wherever I co. "There is no trickery, and I can give you no reason why I am able to do this. Per haps regular habits have somethiugto do with it. I take a meal at 10 in the morning and dine at 5, and never smoke. And strange to say, my weight has not varied a pound for the last six or 6even years, viz., 12$ pounds. See here," and II. Martmclli bends himself in two, placing his head in the small of his back. Then ho balances himself on his two hands aud literally twists his whole body round like a corkscrew. ! fctd no pain and the only reason 1 can give for it is that tlje muscles of the amis, chest and legs contract in fact, every muscle from the crown of my head to the solo of my foot.

Silk or any other material would be no good, as worsted of the best kind stretches with your movements, and seldom breaks.'' Just then the "call-boy" warns the contortionist that his is the next turn, and we hurry away to the stage. We turn away for a moment, and the next instant become startled with what appears to be a huge serpeut tied round tho trunk of a tree. It'a all right." said a muftlcd voice, and then M.
