The sooner the Democratic party is turned out of power the sooner the country will be restored to a healthy commercial and financial condition. Every time the President makes an appointment the heart of some Indiana Democrat aches. Th3 application' of a hopeful Iloosier seems to be on file for every office In sight. Senator Voorhees and his kind are very savage against American robber barons, but they have no compunctions about legislating for the robber baron manufacturers of Europe. The Journal is confessedly and proudly partisan, but It believes that It does not exceed conservative estimates when It deClares that this week's elections Indicate a Republican year. 1 i The New York Sun says Governor Tillman Is engaged In guaranteeing to South Carolina a Populist form of government. Governors Lewelllng and Waite have been doing the same thing In Kansas and Colorado. Indiana Democrats should take warning from the fate of the Cass county man who l?ft their party to Join the Populists and filed the same day. Any number of Democrats have joined the Republicans this year, and are not only alive but happy. Here Is a "rule In three:" If It took the finance committee of the- Senate, consisting of eleven members, two months to complete their amendments of the Wilson bill and get tt before the Senate, how long will It take that body, consisting of eighty-eight, to pass It? The "battle in the Soudan" reported yesterday reads like an echo of past years, and brings up reminiscences of Gordon, of the Mahdl, of endless parliamentary wrangling In England and of a host of other things which Englishmen do not care to remember. Colonel Breckinridge seems either to have exercised much Intelligence in destroying the letters he received from Miss Pollard or else to have had rare good luck in preserving them, for those incriminating her are In evidence, and those incriminating him are missing. Mr. Bland thinks if the Republicans in the House would refrain from, voting that the seigniorage bill would pass over the President's veto by a two-thlrd3 vote of Democrats. Thus again the administration depends on Republican votes to save it from its own party. Patrick Walsh, the new Senator from Georgia, is spoken of by persons who want to be complimentary as a "gentleman of the old school." The trouble is that there are too many gentlemen of the old school, the most of them from the South, in Congress now. They haven't learned anything for thirty years. From this on the debate on the tariff bill in both houses and in the conference committee, where it will finally go, will be mainly a struggle between the sugar and whisky interests to retain the favors granted them by the finance committee. Both Interests are marshaling their iotbles, and the fight will be a bitter one. Whichever wins the people will suffer, their only hope being that the trusts may kill each other. It was a useless sacrifice that the little fcirl at Guilford, Ind., made when she stood on the railroad track with the younger sister whose foot had caught and let herself be mangled rather than desert her companion, but it meant "nerve," courage and the spirit of which martyrs are made. Few older persons would have equaled her in daring, even if the act would have availed to avert danger from the little one. During the fiscal year ending June SO, 1S33, the American people consumed nearly CSO.OOe.000 pounds of raw wool, equal to about 27 per cent, of the world's supply. As the American people are only 5 per cent, of the world's population, and as they consume 27 per cent, of the world's supply of wool, it Is not surprising that foreign wool producers and manufacturers of woolen goods are rejoicing over the prospect of getting control of this market. The action of Guatemala relative to the Interest on her bonds held in England may have important results in the financial world and may possibly lead to international complications. The interest, which by the way is not due until the 1st of next July, Is payable in gold, but as Guatemala is on a silver basis and her silver dollar is only worth 4) cnts in gold, she is either unable to pay ths Interest or . unwilling to assume the loss Involved, and has therefore given notice that the Interest will not be paid. This will cause a great commotion among the bondholders and an earnest appeal to the Britlih government to take

some action in the premises. -This the government will be pretty sure to' do, but what Its action will be remains to be seen. It may order a man-of-war to Guatemala to enforce the payment of the interest, cr it may come down from its high horse on the silver question and agree to an international conference that will open the way for Its settlement. If other South American states whose bond3 are held in England should follow the example of Guatemala, as seems not unlikely, action on the part of England would b2 hastened. TIIC POPULAR CONDBMNATIOX.

The municipal elections of this week so far have served to confirm, or, rather, to emphasize the drift of all similar elections throughout the North since the year ISO! came in. In a generation there has not been such a revolt against a party in this country as these elections show against the Democracy. Usually local Issues and considerations affect municipal contests and the results are not tests of popular sentiment on national issues, but this year has been an exception. The mass of voters seem determined to hit a Democratic head wherever it shows itself as a candidate. The people are Incensed at the attempt of the Democratic Congress and administration to carry out a policy which has paralyzed industry, traffic and business. They have become much more incensed when they see that Congress and the President insist upon carrying out their scheme after they must know that It has involved millions of people in distress and tens of thousands in financial ruin. The masses have lost sight of local Issues and Interests in their purpose to condemn the Democratic policy. Perhaps these hundreds of thousands of voters have hoped that if they should make their protest in the municipal elections, while the bills designed to give American markets to foreigners were under consideration, the Democratic leaders in Congress would heed their voice and desist in their reckless policy. If these leaders In Congress were wise they would heed thl3 protest It seems, however, to be an Instance where "whom the gods would destroy they first make mad." This series of unparalleled rebukes administered their opponents should be more than cause of elation to Republicans. The almost certainty of sweeping triumphs throughout the North this fall should make intelligent Republicans serious because of the sense of responsibility which a success reaching from townships and counties up to Congress Involves. Tower should make a party more watchful and conservative than when it is without It. The certainty of control should Inspire the men who believe in the Republican party and who desire honest and Intelligent government to see to It that only the best and ablest men are made candidates. A pleasant Incident of Prince Bismarck's recent birthday celebration was a visit from a committee of Rhlneland women. The Prince made them a little speech, in the course of which he said: This visit affords me a gratification which far outweighs the venomous attacks of my opponents, many of whom are also opponents of the G?rman empire. It Is a reassuring thought that you. who represent the German housewives, believe so firmlv In the Idea of a united, imperial Germany. This Idea, having once gained the support of German women and German homes, must become Indestructible. I recognize In the homely traditions of German mothers and housewives a stronger and more trustworthy guarantee of our political future than any walls or cannon of our fortresses. Let the idea of political unity penetrate straight to the hearts of the wives and mothers, and we shall always find ourselves together. Whatever misfortune may befall us. we shall remain a united nation of brothers and sisters. From this It would appear that while the Man of Iron Is not a "woman's rights jman" he does not underrate the Influence of women or the value of their support. On Monday the Milwaukee Sentinel printed facts and figures showing the reductions In the number of employes In leading industries In that city and the corresponding reductions in the earnings of wage workers in 1S33, as compared with 1SI2. They showed that In 1892 the manufacturers of the city paid 53,873 persons $28.9o7,400 in wages, an average of $337.C3 4-3 each. In 1S93 they paid 50.5G2 persons $23,333,343 in wages, a total of $3,G32.C3l less than the sum paid in wages In 1SD2, a reduction equal to $111.13 to each person employed in 1S03. These statistics were based on reports made by the manufacturers themselves at the close of the year for the purpose of. making annual comparisons. They furnish convincing proof of the operation of the Cleveland panic. To-day the annual election of Rhode Island takes place. Even before the real estate qualification was removed from naturalized voters, the Increase in the number of foreign voters engaged in manufactures had made Rhode Island a doubtful State, it going Democratic as often as Republican on State issues, but surely Republican when voting for President. In April, 1S93, the vote for Governor stood: Brown, Rep., 21,S30; Baker, Dem., 22.015; Metcalf, Prohibition, 3,255. For President, in 1SD2, the vote was: Harrison. Rep., 26,972; Cleveland. Dem., 24,333; Weaver, Pop., 22S; Bidwell, Pro., 1,634. This year Governor Brown is the Republican candidate and Mr. Baker is again the Democratic. The scathing rebuke administered by Governor Tillman, of South Carolina, to the mllltla who refused to obey orders was Just and deserved. While there can be no doubt that the Governor's methods were unwise and that he did some unjustifiable acts, notably in establishing a censorship of the telegraph, there can be no defense of the action of the militia. Their refusal to obey orders was mutiny, the highest crime known to military law. The Governor did right in refusing to receive their resignation and dismissing them from the service as unworthy to wear the uniform of the State. This was a light punishment for the offense. The city controller is right on the ques tion of extra pay to city employes for extra work. It Is not legal. They are paid by the year and do not come under the eighthour law. It is. their duty to keep their work up, and If they cannot do It by working In the daytime they must work at night. Of course, they have the privilege of resigning, but under no circumstances are they entitled to extra pay. A Republican administration cannct afford to tolerate any such tax-eating busings as that.

THE TARIFF DEBATE

Senator Allison Opens the Discussion for the Minority. He Complains of the Unfairnesg of Voorhees's Committee and Then Criticises the Ad Valorem Sj'steia. FRYE WAKES UP MR. HARRIS And Enters a Protest Acainst "Railroading" the Measure. He Also Tells Senators the Minority Will Maintain Its Iiisrhts Amend-' nients Submitted by Mr. Vest. WASHINGTON", April S. The general public did not seem to have as much Interest in the Senate to-day as yesterday, and the attendance did not indicate that the second day of the tariff debate was to excite, as much interest as the first. A bill was reported from the Senate finance committee directing the parting and refining of bullion to be carried on at the United States assay office at Helena, Mont., and was placed on the calendar. The bill reported by Senator Morgan to give effect to the award of th3 Paris tribunal on the Bering sea question was passed. At 2 o'clock the tariff bill was laid before the Senate, and Senator Allison arose to address that body. In his opening remarks he complained of the methods pursued in the preparation of the bill, of the incomplete examination accorded It in committee and of the difficulty experienced by the minority of the committee in getting information as to the bill. He reviewed the course of the tariff bill to show the leisurely manner in which th3 Democrats had hitherto pushed It. The House of Representatives elected in 1892 favored a change of tariff policy, but the President did not regard this policy as of sufficient importance to call an extra session. He did, however, call Congress together in special session for consideration of other matters. The commlttea on ways and means, however, which was primarily charged with consideration of questions of revenue, was appointed at the extra session, and on the 19th of December, 1S93 only a few days after the convening of Congress reported to the House what is known as the Wilson bill, and which, passing through the ordinary stage of the Houss, appeared in the Senate on the 2d of February, 1801, and was on that day referred to the committee on finance. It was not reported to the Senate until seven weeks afterward. "And when I say," exclaimed Senator Allison, "that this bill was never read in the committee on finance or considered line by lihe and paragraph by paragraph, I state what Is known to every Senator. So that it is worth while," he continued, sarcastically, "for us to consider what sanction Is to be given to the report of a committee thus brought into the chamber, being practically the conclusions of only three men." It was made plain by the proceedings in this chamber, he remarked, that as regards two features of the bill involving a revenue of $S0, 000,000, it came to the Senate as a minority and not as a majority .report. Only five out of eleven members of the com mittee gave 'their support to that feature. J "I may say, went on .Mr. Allison, "that I am embarrassed in the examination of this bill by the fact that we have not yet been supplied with the necessary statements and prints of the bill which would enable us to consider It, as a great bill of this character ought to be considered." INDUSTRIES WILE BE STRANGLED. There was not an Industry in the country, said Mr. Allison, which would not be injured by this bill, while many of them would be strangled. Such a course had never entered Into the minds of the statesmen of the early days of the Republic, and even in 1EC2-33, when the country was divided Into two camps, one Insisting on absolute free trade and the other for moderate protection, no such radical measures had been adopted. They never dreamed of putting on the free list or reducing by one-half the duty charged upon articles which could be produced in the United States. The amendmend offered by Mr. Clay, and adopted, provided for the reduction of the imp.-rt duty 10 per cent every two years, thus taking ten years to bring the tariff down to a basis of 2;) per cent, au valorem. But, Instead of taking ten years to reduce the duty, as In the case of the tariff of 1&3. this rv--olutlonarv measure proposes to accomplish the reduction In one year abruptly and without notice. Mr. Allison went on to argue against the feature of the bill changing the duties from specific to ad valorem, and showed the difficulty of getting a. Just appraisement of their value. In European countries, which were more Intimately connected with one another than with ourselves, and the knowledge of the value in the exporting country more accurately known, the method of appraisement proposed in this bill had become antequated and had dropped out of use. He gave notice that nt the proper time he would offer an amendment providing that the value should be fixed by its price at a home market instead of abroad. Senatcr Call here asked Senator Allison to yield for a motion, to go into executive seKirvrL This was the sienal for a very lively debate, which came up on the Senate with the suddenness of a cyclone, and in which Senators Harris and l-'rye piayeu tne jeaafnrr roles. The former paid he hoped Sen ator Allison would continue his speech and finish it to-day, for. while ne wouia oe g:au. t,ersnnallv. to consult the convenience of everyone in the matter of speaking, he thought it neces-ary to- proceed wun me consideration of this bill as rapidly as possible. .... Senator Allison, who had been speaKimr for over two hours, said he would be very glad, of course, to defer the remainder of his srie-ch until to-morrow, but he would not do so If it would be distasteful to those in charge of the bilL "Believing, as l no," saw .Mr. Jiarns, "that the business of the country should be informed at the earliest possible moment where the import duties are to be placed hereafter. I shall insist that the bill be pn cHied with jis ranldly as possible." The Vice President here interrupted the discussion to lay the following message from the President before the Senate: "I transmit herewith a report of the Secretary of State, Inclosing the final report of the agent of the United States before the Paris tribunal of arbitration. Also the protocols thus far received and other papers relating to that matter." Senator Frye here entered the discussion with a caustic remark about "railroading" the bill through the Senate and a reference to Senator Harris's two notices in the one day of his Intention to drive the bill through. "If that Is a sample of the way in which the Senator from Tennessee proioses to railroad' this bill through the Senate we want to take notice of it here and now," ho said. "I am much obliged to the Senator from Maine." retorted Mr. Harris, sarcastically, "for his lecture, which he habitually gives us once a week, and I am glad to see him getting it off this early." "My lectures will depend on the action of the other side." replied Senator Frye. equally sarcastically. "It is no lecture, however, to inform the Senator from Tennessee that this side of the chamber knows its rights and will maintain them." The incident closed here, and the motion of Mr. Call that the Senate proceed to consideration of executive business prevailed. After a session of an hour and a quarter the doors were reoiened, and the Senate, at 5:20. adjourned. Senator Allison will continue to-morrow. XHW AMESI1MKXTS. Further ChniiKe In the Tariff Illll Mntlv liy the Committee. . WASHINGTON, April 3. Senator Vest submitted to th Senate today a number of amendments to the tariff bill, which had been considered by the finance committee and which will be brought forward in the Senate as commltte? amendments designed to perfect the bill reported. The

amendments include some minor changes in ,

th? chemical schedule, and the following: Cast, polished plate glass, etc.. 24 by .-0 inches square, is increased In duty from to to 22 cents per square foot, and the same article above this size 13 Increased from 35 to 37 cents. Anchovies, sardine?, etc, 20 per cent ad valorem. Instead of 23 in the reported bill. The same change is made on fish in cans. Meats, fresh be:f, mutton and pork, reduced from 23 to 20. In paragraph 233 of the spirits schedule, in lines 8 to 14, strike out the words, "Upon all compounds or preparations containing alcohol there shall be levied a duty at the rat? of Sl.So per proof gallon upon the distilled spirits contained therein, in addition to the duty provided by law upon the old ingredients contained in such compounds or preparations," and in lieu thereof restore the provisions as it pass2d the House. The duty on fur hats and bonnets is Increased from 35 to 40 per cent, ad valorem. The glove schedule is entirely rearranged, reading as follows: "Gloves, kid or leather of all descriptions, wholly or partially manufactured, 40 per cent, ad valorem." In smokers' artless the wording of the paragraph concerning tobacco pipes is changed so as to read as in the bill passed by the House. Fruits, pineapples and bananas are placed specifically on the free list. Canned shell fish are also added to the free list. There are also changes in the Income tax part of the bill. One of these changes adds the word "assessed" at the beginning of Section oi, and it is afterwards provided that this assessment shall be made by the Commissioner of Internal Revenue. A proviso is added as follows: "That all nonresident corporations shall be sabiect to a tax of 2 per cent, upon all undistributed sums sent abroad, which sums, lor the purposes of this act, shall t o held to be dividends to foreign stockholders or policyholders, and the resident dgent or manager of such foreign corporations shull withhold said tax of 2 per jent. i'rom all such undistributed sums and make return thereof and pay the tax therein." The Senate provision requiring corporations to make returns in accordance with the i equipments of Section 3735 of the Revised Statutes is stricken out and the House provision restored. An amendment also provides that corporations shall not only give the amounts paid to employes who receive more than $1,U"0 per annum, but also their names and addresses and the amount paid them. The Internal revenue tax cn spirits. Section 95, is amended so as to read as follows: "That no distiller who has given the required bond and who sells only distilled spirits on his own production at the p'ace of manufacture, or at the place cf storage in bond, in the original pa rage to which the tax-paid stamps are affixed, shall be required to pay the special tax of a wholesale liquor dealer on account of such sales. Provided that he shall be required to keep the books prescribed by Section 3318 of the Revised Statutes of the United States, or so much as shall show the date when he sent out any spirits, the serial number of the packages containing the same, the kind and quality of the spirits in wine gaPons and taxable gallons, the serial numbers of the stamps on the packages, and the name and residence of the persons to whem sales are made under provisions of Section 5 of an act entitled, 'An act to amend the laws relating to internal revenue,' approved March 5, 1879, as to transcripts shall apply to such books. Any failure by reason of refusal or willful neglect to turnlsh the transcripts shall subject the spirits owned or distilled by the distillery to forfeiture." The amendments offered were propped as the result of a meeting of th& Senate committee on finance to-lay, at which the amendments, which had been heretofore agreed upon by the Democratic mf.n'tbrs, were considered. Senator Vest was instructed to report them to the Senate. BALL ENDS IN A RIOT Row at the Carmencita Club Dance in Tammany Hall. One Man Dead and Others Wounded Kesult of an Attempt to Stop a Skirt Dance in a Sport's Box. NEW YORK, April 3. From revelry to riot was but a step, and a short one at that, at the masque bp 11 of the Carmencita Club, in Tammany Hall, about 3 o'clock this morning. There were upon the floor and In the boxes not far from 1,500 persons, and though the bar was closed there was no lack of intoxicants, so that when the disturbance . began many persons were crazed with drink. Roundsman Shay precipitated the trouble by undertaking to stop the performance that was going on in a box occupied by Eddie Ilirsch, keeper of a Coney island dance hall, and a party of his friends. The officer was told to mind his own business, whereupon he tried to pull HIrsch from the box. Instantly a rush was made for the officer. Other policemen in the hall went to Shay's assistance. 13ottlis and chairs were made use of by the crowd. Clubs were swung lustily and many heads felt the force of the "locusts." In the midst of the affray the lights were extinguished, but the struggle did not even thin abate. When the lights were again turned on one man was lying dead upon the steps leading to the street. His name was Terence Gallagher, aged thirty-three years, a raotrack tout, whose residence was No. 122 East One-hundred-and-twenty-fifth street. Mark liuckner, a ltaxter street puller-in. had his head cracked, and may die. George Bernstein, a barkeeper, was badly cut In the hand. The fight lasted until a call sent to the nsarest police station had brought to the hall a detail of officers strong enough to overawo the frenzied crowd. The police say that Gallagher's death was caused by heart disease. It Is alleged that roundsman Shay, whose effort to atop a skirt dance in Eddie Hirsch's box brought on the row, had been drinking, and was, in fact, drunk. The organizer of the Carmencita Club is Edward A. Corey, an ex-detective and a former partner of Billy McGlory, of dive fame. Corey now has a saloon at No. 115 East Fourteenth street. The programme shows that among the honorary' members are the leaders of several East Side political clubs. STEEL CASTING TRUST. Six of the Leading Companies of the Country Form a Combination. CLEVELAND, O., April 3. Six of the leading steel casting companies of the country have formed a combination known as the American Steel Casting Company, and have organized under the laws of New Jersey, with a capital stock of $4,200,000. The new company has taken chxrge. The following companies have become part of the new concern: The IMttsburg Steel Casting Company, of Pittsburg; the Sharon Steel Casting Comapny, of Snaron, Pa.; the Syracuse Steel Casting Company, of Syracuse, N. Y.; the Norristown Steel Casting Company, of Norristown, Pa.; tne Standard Steel Casting Company, of Chester, Pa.; and the Solid Steel Casting Company, of Alliance. O. The new concern includes all the steel foundries In th2 country except two, which are not regarded as competitors. Mr. J. K. liole, of this city, has been elected president of the naw organization. A large stockholder in the new organization, speaking of the combine, said: "The purposa of the combination is to put an end to the cut-throat rivalry that has marked the operations of the steel founders during the last few years. The combination is not a trust In any sense, and it is not Intended to squesze the trade, for If the plans of the company are successful steel casting prices will be brought down as low as iron castings." The general office of the company will be located at Cluster, Pa. J. K. Rote, who has been reelected president of the company, was until recently general manager of the Ohio Iron and Steel Company, of this city. A Iiirxy-IIemletl "Window "WnHher. CHICAGO, April 3. Thomas Gillen, a window washer, narrowly escaped a frightful fall from a ledge of the Hoard of Trada Building to-day, and was rescued by a fireman In the nick of time. Gillen had gone out of a window on to (he ledge, and while at work some on 3 locked the casement. Becoming dizzy the man clung to the wall and screamed frantically for help. The streets were soon blocked by an immense crowd, who cheered loudly as truckman Sullivan, of the fire department, climbed along a ladder, and. with the aid of another, seized and rescued Gillen Just as he was overcome by fright and lost his balance. 3Iny Ho Settled Peaceably DENVER.

DEMOCRAT SEATED

Mr. Joy, a Fairly Elected Republican, Ousted from the House. The Deadlock Broken for a Few Hours and Mr. O'Neill, of Missouri, Declared a Representative. IIILB0RX ALSO TO BE OUSTED And His Seat Given to English, the California Contestant. An "Ex" Reappointed on the Solicitation of Mr. Cooper Biff Increase in the Public Debt Last Month. WASHINGTON. April 3. The deadlock which has prevailed In the House for the week past over the Joy-O'Neill contested election case was broken to-day. The Republicans refused to answer to their names, but the Democrats rallied a bare quorum, 167 to 12, and, amid some applause, the Speaker announced that the deadlock had been broken, and that the motion to lay on the table the motion to reconsider the vote by which Joy had been declared not entitled to the seat had been carried. The Speaj'.er stated the pending question to be on the Republican substitute for the resolution declaring O'Neill elected and entitled to a seat, the substitute declaring that he was not electd and not entitled to his seat. As the quesion was being stated Mr. Joy, who had just been unseated, came down the aisle from the cloak room, hat in hand. The Republicans, with hand and voice, cheered their departing colleague. Ten Democrats and two Populists voted against the resolution to unseat Mr. Joy, as follows: Boen (Populist), Bryan, Cooper of Indiana, Dearmond, Hall of Missouri, Harris, Harter, McKeighan (Populist), Sib ley, Morgan, Ryan and Marshall. The Republican resolution declaring that O'Neill was not entitled to the seat was de feated 160 to 23. .In addition to those who voted against unseating Mr. Joy, the following Democrats and Populists voted in favor of the resolution, adverse to Mr. O'Neill's claims: Cooper of Texas, Dunphy, Everett, Geary, Griffin, Hendrlx, Hutchinson of Texas, Outhwalte, Pendleton and Kern (Populist.) Mr. Weaver moved to reconsider the vote, Mr. Outhwaite made the point that it was an Intervening motion, and therefore not In order. After some debate the Chair sustained the point of order, and also refused to entertain an appeal from his decision, upon the demand of Mr. Lacey. The last vote was taken on the following: "Resolved, That John J. O'Neill was elected a Representative to the Fifty-third Congress from the Eleventh congressional district of Missouri, and that he is entitled to the seat." The resolution was adopted 155 to 28. There was some Democratic applause upon the announcement, and by the direction of the Speaker, Mr. O'Neill, who was in the hall, cam forward to the bar of the House and was sworn in. According to the terms of the special order the House then immediately proceeded with consideration of the EnglishHilborn case, two hours being allowed for debate. Mr. Cobb, of Alabama, tried to effect an arrangement by which the time for debate should be extended two hours, but Mr. Grosvenor objected, and Mr. Brown, of Indiana, chairman of the committee on elections, in charge of the case, took the floor and made the opening argument in favor of the Democratic contestant, Mr. English. Mr. Itred, in reply, made a very earnest argument in favor of Mr. Hllborn. He said in conclusion, addressing the Democratic side of the House: "Gentlemen, you cannot afford to discredit yourselves twice." After some further remarks by Mr. Waugh and Mr. Daniels In favor of the claims of the contestee, Mr. Hllborn himself took the lloor in defense of his rights to his seat. Messrs. Bowers and Loud also spoke in favor of the contestee, and Messrs. McGuIre and Brown against his claims. The debate then closed and a vote was had upon the first half of the substitute for the resolution of the election committee, declaring Mr. Hllborn legally elected and entitled to his seat. The first part of the subresolutlon was defeated 83 to 13i The next vote was on the second part of the resolution, declaring Mr. English entitled to his seat. The Republicans generally voted on the resolution declaring Mr. Hllborn enHtled to his saat. Eleven Democrats and four Populists also voted for the contestee. as follows: Abbott, Bartlett, Breckinridge of Arkansas, Coombs, Crawford, Harris, Latimer, McLaurin, Ryan, Shell and Strait, Democrats; Bell, Boen, McKeighan and Pence, Populists. The Republicans refused to vote upon the English portion of the resolutions, and the Deaiocraiic qurorum failed, the result beintr 11 to 160. A truce was then declared for the night, and at 5:40 p. m. the House adjourned. Air. joy, who was unseated to-day, says he will be a candidate lor Congress this fall. Roue Above Vnrty for Once.

WASHINGTON, April 3. B. B. Seat, United States consular agent at Bluefields, and Samuel V ell, a merchant of that place, called at the State Department to-day to see Secretary Gresham and explain to him, the conditions on the Mosquito coast which, had caused them to come to Washington as a delegation In the Interests of th American residents. Secretary Gresham was due at the Cabinet meeting, and could not delay, so the Interview was postponed. Seat and Well made another visit after the Cabinet meeting, and talked with Secretary Gresham for half an hour. The Secretary was then obliged to go to the Capitol, and the interview was broken on. with the understanding that it shall be resumed to-morrow. No word has yet reached the State Department confirming the report that the Nicaraguan government has withdrawn he exequaters of United States Consul Braida and British Consul Bingham at Grey town for their part in the Blueflelds episode. There can be no question of the right of a government to thus reject a consul, even without explanation, and the United States has acceded to this doctrine in the past. Braida was appointed to his post from Neur Jersey in January. 1S92, and the emoluments amount to about $2 500 per annum. There is reason to believe that his course has not been entirely satisfactory, -and that he has been strongly admonished by the department to refrain from interference la the political affairs of Blueflelds and to confine himself to his consular duties, but nevertheless, the Nicaraguan government has certainly not helped towards a satisfactory solution of . the difficulty by arbitrarily removing our consul Just at a time when the United States was about to investigate the matter. This investigation will be conducted by Capt. John Crittenden Watson, commanding the cruiser San Francisco, for Admiral Benham's retirement is so near at hand that he would be precluded from completing the task If he had undertaken it. A cablegram was addressfd to-day by acting Secretary McAdoo to Admiral Benham, on board the San Francisco at San Lucia, W. I., relieving him of further duty, and permitting him to return to the United States either from San Lucia direct, or from Colon. He has seen his last naval sendee, for he wnl retire probably next Tuesday. The San Francisco is coaling at San Lucia, and Is expected to r main, there until to-morrow night, at least, when she will sail for Blueflelds, arriving by Monday. THE SEIGNIORAGE IHLL. Bland will Try to Pnn It Over Hie Pronident' Veto. WASHINGTON, April 3. The question of passing the Bland seigniorage bill over President Cleveland's veto was to have come before the House to-day, but was prevented by the contested election cases. Active preparations have been made by the elements for and against the President's position. Representative Tracey sent 174 letters to Democratic members who could be relied on to sustain the President. The letter is as follows: "Sir Mr. Bland has given notice that on Tuesday, April 3. ho will ask to have the seigniorage bin passed over the President's veto. I am directed by the minority members of the committee on coinage, weights and measures to urge you to be present in the House that day and remain until the vote has been taken." Representative Tracey says the veto will be sustained by a large vote. "It will not be far short of L'00, if there Is a full Mouse," said he. "There will be the vote of those aeainst the bill In the first place and the added vote of those who wish to sustain the President, although formerly favorable to the bill." Representative Bynum will make a speech voicing the position of those who favored the silver bill, but who will now supxort the president. Mr. Bynum voted with Mr. Bland on the bill, but they will rart company on the veto. Representative Bland has arrand Lis programme for the contest over the veto. It contemplates several speeches protesting against the veto. There is no limit to the debate, as the question of sustaining or defeating the President's action is one of high privilege. He will listen to no compromise, but Insists upon a debate and a vote. "If the Republicans do not vote," said Mr. Bland. "I think we "an pass the bill over the veto bv a two-thirds vcte of the Democrats, but if the Republicans vote they will probably sustain the veto." Mr. Tracey says it Is absolutely certain that the Republicans will vote. Uncle Snm'M Monopoly. WASHINGTON. April 3. The Government Bureau of Engraving and PrinMng is a comparatively new one, and, since lis beginning in a small way in 18:2, has had a hard fight with the three cr four bank-note companies which had previously held the government contracts and their successors. When the contract for furnishing the postage stamps wag awarded to the bureau recently it marked the close of this lon warfare and placed under government control the last class of securities Issued by the authority of Congress. Now the bureau is the only establishment which has anything to do with the printing of government bonds, national currency, internal revenue stamps and postage stamps. While the fight in Congress over the new departure Is not yet en led. it seerns probable that norre of the government engraving will be clone by private concerns In the future.
