The bill, as amended by the Democrats since Saturday, would have been pubmltted to the full committee to-day ut for the fact that Senator Caffery requested a hearing on the propose! susar schedule, and submitted a prwosltlon somewhat t'lfferent from the Hcheuule a agreed upon by the committee.

R0SE13ERY DEFENDED

Lord Churchill Assails the Premier in the Commons, Ami Receive? a Scoring from Sir William Ilarcourt French Cabinet Crisis Averted by Casimer-Pcricr. LONDON, March 19.-Lord . Randolph Churchill came to the front again to-day by making a motion to the effect that Iord Kosebery, the Premier, had Infringed the liberties and privileges of the House of Commons by concerning himself with the election of a member of the House of Commons through hl3 speech made at Edinburgh on Saturday night. This speech, according to biord Churchill, must have influence upon the pending election at Lelth. Continuing, Lord Itandolph asserted that Ijord Itosebery had evaded the rule which precludes peers from Interfering In the election of members of the House of Commons. Sir William Ilarcourt, Chancellor of the Exchequer and Liberal leader in the House of Commons, said that as Lord Itandolph had not proposed that Lord Rosebery should be called to the bar of the House, he could not understand "what course Lord Randolph wanted the House to take. Thereupon Lord Randolph exclaimed that he Intended his motion as a protest against Lord Itosebery's action. lr William Ilarcourt, continuing, remarked that there were about live hundred opiKjsitlon peers who were constantly Interfering with elections. He, himself, had known many prelates to make speeches which probably had greatly Influenced elections. Sir William ilarcourt referral undoubtedly to the prelates who are members of the House of Lords. The speaker classed Lord Churchill's motion as being "trumpery, petty and contemptible," and a contradiction of his own defense when accused of breach of privilege In 18S7 for lending carriages to be used at a certain election, a course which was also followed at the same time and place by Lord Salisbury and llaron Rothschilds. The Right Hon. A. J. Halfour, the Conservative leader, said that It was a crucial case which would decide the doctrine as to whether a peer had the right to take part In elections. The speaker, continuing, said that he had watched with interest the government's desire to extend the privileges of peers. (Laughter.) Finally, the House adopted Sir William Harcourfs motion to proceed with the orders of the day. CRISIS AVr.IlTKD. The French Premier Induce the Senate to ln nm it Measure. PARIS. March 19. The Cabinet crisis, which was caused by the fact that the Senate on Saturday refused to take action on the measure which had previously passed the Chamber of Deputies creating a special ministry of the colonies, instead of having that department of the government directed, as has been the case up to the present, by an under secretary of the ministry of marine, has been averted, and Premier Caslmlr-Pener is again triumphant. When the Premier learned of the Senate's failure to act ujm the measure referred to, he promptly called a special session of the Senate to-day, and allowed it to become known that he would remain in power without a vote of confidence upon the part of the Senate. In the Senate, today, after a conciliatory speech from the Premier, the Chamber of Deputies bill creating a ministry of the colonies was approved by a vote of 22.' to 32. and later the Senate agreed to the grant asked for in connection with the creation of this new ministry by a vote of 216 to 31. The Premier wjis warmly congratulated by his friends upon the result of the affair, which, since Saturday, was looked upon as likely to have serious results. AX IMAGINARY PA RADISH. Lieut. Von Ilobnel Punctures nu African Colonlxu Hon Scheme. VI CNN A. March 13. Referring to the Krtcland colonization scheme of Prof. Theodor Hertzka, who still persists In his endeavor to found an Ideal colony on the northeast coast of Africa, Lieutenant Von Hohnel, the explorer, being questioned concerning the unpopulated plateau of Mount Kenla, upon which It Is proiosed the Freehand colony shall settle, said: "There exists no such plateau, and I have already told Dr. Hertzka ro. There are the densely populated and fertile slopes of Mount Kenla; then the long, wide, barren and waterless plain underneath, extending toward the also densely populated slopes of the DJemhenl range on the northwest." The Lieutenant here told of the experience of Mr. Chanier and himself, recently given to the presj. Jn conculslon the Lieutenant said: "Even If the Imaginary plateau of Kenla did exist the route Is a bad one for commerce. Then, aaln, every square yatd of the part if northeast Africa Is densely populated wherever the land Is productive and watered. The DJambenl range Is thirty miles long and possesses 2"U.m)j inhabitants. The slopes of Mount Kenla have a large population. Including the very warlike tribes of Katzeri and Kikuyu. If the Freeland colonists wish to settle on the base of Mount Kenla they must fight for the district they neize, and live afterwards under stockades and on the lookout."

Wouldn't It be a good I lea for "The Hoard cf Eleven." at Washington. D. C, to operata la other ways than by merely deciding; the proper method of spelling geographical names? The Washington, D. C, dispatch in to-day's Journal, reporting samples of the work of the board in settling disputes In geographic orthography. Impels the suggestion that the sphere of its labors be enlarged. For Instance. In the Pujjet found

country there Is a grandly beautiful mountain, about equl-distant from Tacoma and Seattle. The true name by which It shall be recognized is a subject of tierce dispute between the two ambitious cities. Tacoma pays It is "Mount Tacoma;" Seattle declares It Is "Mount Kanler." and ro shall be to the end of time. Although the dispute is purely local, and. therefore, devoid of exciting interest for Hooslers, yet It may be well to have th? question solved, and vised by the national authorities, so that the Eastern tourist passing through Tacoma or Seattle can. without annoyance to himself, talk about the "silent monarch of the clouds." Seemingly it is as imrortant to know, by authority, the name of the mountain as it is to have definitely settled for the public the question as to which city girl has the larger feet the one of St. Louis, or she of Chicago. If tha traveler wants to raise a Pacific breeze when in Tacoma, let him point to "Mount Ranier." It. when he is in Seattle, he happens to be in a hurry to start for Alaska, he can ask anyone on the str2et to Indicate to him the locality of "Mount Tacoma," and he will "get there." T. Indianapolis, March 19. ANOTHER ALLEGED TRUST.

Sewingr Machine Manufacturers ISaid to He Combining. CHICAGO, March 19. Plans for the foundation of a combination of sowing machine manufacturers, which will have many of the characteristics of a trust, are, according to a local paper, being matured. It will have corporate assets of over $otOoO.Ooo and will, it is said, absorb business of the White Sewing-machine Company, of Cleveland; the Standard Sewing-machine Company, of Cleveland; the Davis Sewingmachine Company, of Dayton, O., and the Domestic Sewing-machine Company, of Newark, N. J. The last named company is now In the hands of a receiver, and this fact has delayed matters materially. The Domestic manufacturing plant. It Is said, will be removed from Newark, and combine with the Davis plant at Dayton, O. The two Cleveland plants of the White and Standard companies will be removed to Chicago. As contemplated now, George P. Hoffman, of Dayton, will be president, and a Cleveland man. Thomas E. White, will probably be selected as vice president. In the directory will be J. E. French and A. I... Moore, of Cleveland; I. A. Johnson and E. J. Harney, of Dayton, and the vice president of the New York Guaranty and Indemnity Company. "It is a well-known fact in sewing machine circles that such a combination was talked of a year ago, the only difference being that the New Home Sewing Machine Company was also Included," said a local sewing machine man. "The deal fell through for various reasons, among them being that the Domestic company was in financial difficulties, and that the industrial situation was not considered propitious. The proposed capital of the combination was $12,000,000." Judge Klrkpatrlck, receiver for the Domestic company, says that so far as that company Is concerned there will be no trust formed while he is receiver. TELEGRAPHIC BREVITIES.

Christian Moller died at Wooster, O., yesterday as a result of treatment received at the hands of a gang of burglars sometime since. In their efforts to make the old man tell where his wealth was hidden they placed a rope around his neck and threatened to hang him; and when he refused they drew the rope po tight as to almost sever his head from the body. ON niMvKll HILL.. She Ileaclied the Top of the Monument, bat AVitsn't Entirely Huppy. Hoston Journal. About fifty feet up the winding stairs of the monument sat the fat woman putting like a trotter on the homestretch. Pretty soon she heard a wheezing Individual cpproaching from below, and presently a tall, round-shouldered man loomed out of the semldarkness. "Howdy do, marm. Takln a rest, eh?" said the nsthmatlc stranger, also stopping for breath as he reached the fat woman. "Yes I be; I ain't used to stairs. Hills on mountains is what we hev up our way. I kin skip up 'em like a caperln young heifer, but when it comes to stairs specially wlndln stairs I git dizzy an' winded right away, but I told the folks afore I come awav that I'd climb Bunker Hill monument, an' I'll do it." "You ain't from New Hampshire, be you?" "That's Jest where I'm from, mister the upper part on'L" "So be I. ' "I thought so by the way you was a-heavln jest now. We New Hampshire folks ain't used to stairs. Hills an' mountains is our great holt. Be you from near the mountains?" "No, marm; I'm from Bow Crossing." "I nev?r heard o' that place." "It's jest this side o' Concord, marm. I've been seelick man thar." "Dew tell!" As the man from How Crossing was resuming his winding way upward the fat woman culled out to him: "Say, mister?" "Wal. marm?" You don't know my daughter Sally?" "I reckon I don't, marm." "Well. I dunno whether she's up there or not. I was to meet her an' the baby at the bottom at 10 o'clock, an' we was goiii' up together. I wa'nt on time, an' she prob'ly got mad an went up without me. She's awful cranky, Sally Is. If you see a mice-look-in young woman with a baby you'll know it's hsr. Tell her I'm comln. will you?" "All right, marm." The fat woman, having taken a long breath, then ascended another long stretch, when she found It necessary to take another rest. While sh? was regaining her wind, a young man. accompanied by two young ladies, came along. "If you see a young woman with a baby up at the top tell her I'm comin. will you. please?" said the fat woman, addressing the party. "Oh. certainly," they laughed, a3 they skipped around the curve. "That old man'll prob'ly forglt to tell her," she mused as she started on her third lap. but after another stretch was obliged to halt again for wind. Two or three youngsters came scampering up the stairway. "Say. sonnv, how much further Is It to the top?" queried the fat woman. "Only a little ways, ma'am." "If you see a woman with a baby up thtre. tell hr I'll be with her in a few minute." "Yes'm. "Them glgcllng critters 'ud never think to tell her, I know." she said to herself as she was left alone again. Starting on her fourth .and last lap. the fat woman from New Hampshire presently saw daylight above her. "Here she comes." she heard one of the youngsters call out. As she emerged into the room at the top not much room at this toi she was confronted by an auburn-haired woman with a baby. "I'd like to know what you mean by telling all these people to tell me you was coming," enapped the auburn-haired woman. Your "Yes. me." "You ain't Sally." "I should hope not." "La Sakes! I never thought any woman

but Sally would be fool enough to climb up here with a baby. Sally was always " "That's rlRht ma; talk on and show your Ignorance," exclaimed a young woman who Just then arrived at the summit. It was Sally without the baby. The fat woman qulcklv subsided, and immediately became absorbed In the views of the surrounding country through the windows. THE HOUSE IN ACTION. What Happens When Iieed Rises and Sticks Pins in the Democrats. Washington Letter In New York Tribune. It is one of the spectacles of a session to see the House almost deserted, engaged In some uninteresting routine; the Chair, occupied by the gentleman from somewhere, listless; the clerks now half asleep, and now rising to drone away, reading words that they scarcely s o and nobody appears to pay anj attention to; he proceedings apparently conducted by Mr. Jones on that side and Mr. Brown on this, and nobody but Jones or lirown giving the slightest heed to i.h?m; the few members In their seats writing or talking; a hum going up over the room that drowns the voices of both Jones and lirown; members in the lobbies, In the cloak rooms, in the restaurants, everywhere except in their seats. It Is one of the spectacles that are worth going miles to see, when, before an outsider can figure out what nas happened or how It came about, Jones and Brown get very much excited, the keen, stern face of Speaker Crlsk Is seen behind his desk. In place of the gentleman from somewhere; Mr. Reed suddenly .'corns forth from bis place in the first aisle to the left of the center, and from evary door on every side of the room members are streaming Into the House and gathering In mighty groups around their leaders. It Is then that you reallz? why the ReRubllcans love Reed, and why they follow lm with such unexampled devotion. For, standing there with his hands resting quietly together behind his back, his great figure towering over all the rest, his big round face wearing no more expression than can be found in the empty air, his big, round brown eyes looking out In a sort of a lazy, Indifferent way, lie suddenly anJ in a peculiar, sharp nasal tone, projects a remark across the room Into the Democrats, and th3v skurrv and scatter and cry out for all the world as if they had been struck by the discharge of a 'Jatlln gua. It Is one of the most picturesque scenes that cne can witness in a deliberative assembly. When you read Mr. Reed's remark in the Congressional Record the next morning it seems innocent enough; and you wonder why so much fuss was made about it. But it was one of those remarks that just lit the case, that Just meet the situation and put a whole book of comment into a quiet aphorism. The manner in which the Democrats battle with Mr. Reed adds to the humor of the scene. Few of the Republicans ever think of giving assistance to their leader. Sometimes Mr. Burrows, or Mr. Cannon, or Mr. Uolllver, will Interject an observation on the side, as it were, but for the most part the Republican members stand around with their hands In their pockets and a smile on their faces, watching the fun. But the Democrats charge in a squadron. Whatever It is that happened to bring Mr. Reed to the front; whoever said, on the Democratic side, the thing that stirred up the Republican leader, or whatever that thing was, no more attention is paid to the man or his remarks. But a dozen or more of the principal Democrats guther In a bunch as near Mr. Reed as they seem to think It safe, and then they all talk at once, shouting thl3 at him, yelling that, and looking for al! the world like a parcel of hounds baying at an amiable elephant. But !f vou know Mr. Rt-fd you will know that hwv-iver amlabb- he may look, he is outrageously dangerous. And the more Innocent or inane he looks the more severe will be tne punishment of those who go at him. Me has a habit, when his mind is working at its best, or withdrawing all expression from his face and of making It look like a big full moon, with two little dark sparkling stars fixed in It, and then it is that he Is goinp to be most exasperating. It generally ends by some wise old Democrat Ilk-: Jtolman, who has been through such sc?nes so many times that he knows the danr and felly of prolonging them, rising to a point of order. Holman rarely takes part in any encounter with Reed. He reserves himself for the making of a point of ordr. And when he sees Ids chance, or anything that will do- for a chance, he gets himself in the way of the Speaker's eye and claims recognition. Mr. Crisp generally understand tMt t'e opportunity is to be afforded him of making an end of the scene, ana he ;saf.. A ..e gentleman from Indiana" very promptly. Mr. Holman says that he rises to a point of order, and that the point is such and such, and the Speaker says It is very well taken, and Mr. Reed says no, it isn't, and then he fires a shot or two at the Speaker, and the Speaker and his gavel and the voices of half the Democrats In the House sound out at once in a chorus of confused protest, and somebody says something about the Sergeant-at-Arms, and the Republicans laugh hilariously and Mr. Reed sits down. And that which makes the Republicans so true to their leader and which makes the Democrats so vexed and unhappy Is that he was morally, logically, constitutionally, politically and unqualifiedly right. He chooses his ground with unerring Judgment. "WILLIAM "WALDORF ASTOlt. A Millionaire of Little Account Goes Abroiul mid lieeniiie nn Rtlltor. New York Mall and Express. Since William Waldorf Astor, ex-minister to Italy, left New York and established himself and a new magazine in London, America has heard many things concerning him and his doings. England has also heard these things, and they have made even more of a sensation abroad than In the countrv of his birth. Mr. Astor first startled his English cousins by buying one of the show places of the Duke of Westminster. Cllveden-on-the-Thames. He Is said to have paid about Sl.oi 0, Cot for the property, upon which he will spend many thousands more In modernizing Improvements. Next he bought the Liberal I'all Mall Gazette, which had fallen into bid ways financially since editor Stead made it the vehicle for his exposures of 1 cnlen vice. At the same time he purchased the Budget, the weekly edition of the dally paper, and made them Conservative in politics. He alo establish the fall Mall Magazine. With these periodicals under his control Mr. Astor proceeded to revolutionize I-ondon journalism. In this he has been eminently successful. His was the first journal to announce the projected retirement of Mr. Gladstone, an announcement that broueht down upon th. .( -,r all the scorn which the truly patriotic Englishman has for anything that is loma. He immediately established a high rate of prices for magazine work, which were at once the despair of rival publishers nnd the Joy of struggling writers. Other magazines had to meet his figures or be satisfled with second-class matter, and in the meantime the short-story writer has prospered n3 never before. During the past year the three periodicals cist Mr. Astor iKAC) more than be received, but they have become the vogue, and in point of circulation and popularity they lead the field. In all this the lnn;Ue Yankee shrewdness of Mr. Astor has been shown in more ways than one. For Instance, In the March number of the magazine he publishes stories by Rudyard Killing and Frank It. Stockton, for which he paid the highest market price. Instead of bearing the expense alone, he shares It with American publishers. The Kipling story was sold to the Harpers, of this citv. and was published In last week's Weekly, and the Stockton story is being issued to American newspapers by a syndicate manager of this city.
