Mr. Faulkner moved that Mr. Allen be allowed to proceed In order. On a viva voce vote there axrpeared to be a tie, but on second vote the affirmative vote, mainly from the Democratic tide, prevailed. Mr. Gear rose to say that he took no exception to tho language of Mr. Allen, although he regretted the altercation, feeling that it was "impossible to touch pitch without bednjr defiled." Mr. Allen rejoined that he was surprised at beins aWe to defile a Senator who had eeen to much of the world. He also sarcastically expressed thanks to Mr. Hoar for kce?inr a watchful eye on him to see that he did no tvror.fr. He again spoke highly of General Weaver and again protested against the laughter of the Senators. "Let me assure the Senator." said Mr. Chandler, "that we are not laughing at what he says, but the way he says It." This closed the incident, and Mr. Hoar epoke briefly in support of the bond resolution. He sail the bond transactions were properly subject to investigation. No corruption or Iniquity was charged against government officials. Mr. Peffer interrupted to state that no 5l3 honorable motive was imputed to the Resident nor the Secretary of the Treasury, but he believed the bond transactions had fraud all over them in New York city and elsewhere. Mr. Hoar went on to review the several bond Issues, stating the various points of Irregularity which he believed to exist. He particularly objected to the use of bonds to raise money to bo used to meet current expenses.

Two Subjects That Occupied the Attention of the House. WASHINGTON, April 17. The net result of five Sours work on the private calendar In the House to-day was the passage of four pension bills, one to pension the widow of Hear Admiral Foote at $30 per month, the rejection of a bill to retire a hospital steward as a second lieutenant of cavalry, and the passage of a war claim of less than l00. The latter was the first war claim brought before the Hoitee for consideration, and naturally . provoked a general debate on the policy of
paying war claims. It drew from Mr. llahon, chairman cf the war claims committee, Mr. Walker, Mr. McCall and Mr. Evans eloquent pleas for the payment of the findings cf the Court of Claims. Mr. Mahon argued that these claims should be paid or the court abcll3hed. Uarrlntr the cotton claims, he asserted that $J).0G9,CwO would pay them, while Mr. Itay thought $60O,G'jQ,OGO would not meet them. Politics, of course, was injected Into the debate before It was finished, and there was & lively set-to between Mr. Dockery and Mr. Grosvenor. Mr. Dockery eulogized Speaker CrisD ani Mr. Savers, tne chairman of the
appropriations committee In the last Congress, and paid a high tribute to -Speaker Heed. "1 want to say here in his presence," said he. "that I honor the present Speaker, Thomas B. Reed. .(Applause.) He has stood like a lion in the path of members oa both Eldes of the political aisle who have been pressing bills carrying large sums." Mr. Grosvenor ridiculed -r. Dockery for 'attempting to vindicate the history and career of the Democratic party." lie said the real question at l32ue now was not the honesty of these claims, but the ability of the government to pay thtm at this time. - "You are," said he, addressing the Democratic side, "paralyzed by your own utter inefficiency. The great feature of the administration cf Grover Cleveland the only feature that will save him from future contumely Is that when the bill to repeal the great revenue-producing, industry-propagating tariff law was presented to him he said, My name : shall never disgrace its pages You," Mr. Grosvenor continued, "are attempting to place in contrast an administration that paid I2C0.0CO.COO of the public debt with that one that borrowed $200,000,000 ani now trembles each day lest the telegraph brings the news that the gold so borrowed is drifting acrosa the waiter." (Applause.) At 5 o'clock the. House took a recess until 8 o'clock, the evening session to be devoted Jo private pension bills.. The question of granting to officers widows f'tsffger pensions than private soldiers was discussed to-night for two hours in connection with a bill to pension the widow of Urixadler General Ferdinand Vandervere. ; of Ohio, at the rate of $75 per month. The bill was Anally favorably acted upon, with an amendment making the rate $30 per month.
THE NICARAGUA CAXAL.
Teatlmdny of One of President Cleveland's Commissioners. WASHINGTON, April 17. The Nicaragua canal commission, which visited the isthmus last summer presented some features of iU side of the canal question before the House committee on Interstate and! foreign commerce to-day. Engineer Mordccal T. Endicott, U. S. N., a member of the commission, was 'the witness. He resented the statements by Hon. Warner Miller and Engineer Menoc.il, of the canal company, that the Investigations by the commission had been of a cursory nature. Tho board was in Nicaragua forty-two days and spent thirtyfour days in actual field work. Except in a few important details the plan of engineer MenocaJ seemed to Mr. Endlcott feasible. While the company's plan contemplated a canal twenty-eight feet deep, the commission was convinced that at certain seasons the water would fall to twenty-four feet unless the dam3 were built to a greater height. Mr. Endlcott was asked if he thought the canal would be a danger to the United States In case of war. He replied that In the event of war with a nation lUe Great Britain the government would be obliged to abandon the canaj, but might solve the problem by blowing up the locks. From a military point of view the canal was desirable. The total value of the work done by the company, Mr. Endlcott estimated at half a million. Its harbor works at Greytown were in bad condition, and not much of value remains. Portions of the work would have to be removed. The company's five dredges were sunk In the harbor and were obsolete. His estimates at the value of the company's property when1 In good condition was $1.:.V),C0. He -did not believe the canal could be built for $fo,000,C00 (the company's estimate) even conceding Mr. Menocal's plans to be feasible. The question being asked whether. If the
government were willing to pay $1S3.000.000
ior me canai. it would ie advisable to begin work at once, the engineer replied that the government should make more satisfactory surveys and estimates before going forward. It was most important that sufficient hydraulic data be secured and It was also possible that" further investigation would increase the estimates of cost. Mr. Noble, of Chicago, the civilian member of the comml'sion, explained how the commission, had made up its estimates of the cost of the work by consultation with contractors in the United States accustomed to handle work of the same character. About f22.0A).OJO of the additional cost over the company's estimates found tithe comjrilsslon was due to the enlargement of the canal, which the ccmpany thought necessary. Mr. Noble thought the climate of Nlcarasrua more healthful than that of the Mississippi bottoms. In rerlv to a Ques

President Cleveland said he was very glad of the opportunity to welcome veterans with a record ro worthy as theirs and felicitate them cn being able to leave the memory of such a record to posterity. There were duties in time of peace a3 well as in time of war, and the country could confidently exrect men with a record such as theirs had been would do their duty equally well in time of peace. In closing he said he would be pleased to take each of them by the hand. The Defenders were then individually introduced to the President and each received, a cordial greeting.

BOSTON CARPENTERS.
They Are Willing to Work Eight
Hoars for $2 a Day.
Anderson Drmocrati Threatened vrlth
a Split on Account of the Free Silver movement.
BOSTON, April 17. The story -that a
widespread strike is to begin here and else
where on May 1 to bring about the adoption
of the eight-hour day, which has been sent to Western papers from this city, Is denied by labor leaders here. The exact situation ks explained as follows: At the convention
of the American Federation of Labor, last
'December, the question of the eight-hour
working day was discussed at. length, and It was finally decided that the National
Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners of
America should assume the leadership in the struggle on May 1, 1806. With this .end
in view the carpenters' unions in. this city
have been steadily strengthening their or
ganization, and are desirous of obtaining an eight-hour day, with 52 for a day's !ay. President Gompers, of the Amercan Federation of Labor, and P. J. McGulre, secretary of the llrotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners of America, will be
here to confer with W. H. Sayward, general secretary of the National Master
Uullders' Association, and a committee from the master builders association on the question next Monday. Tho carpenters are confident that their demand will be
granted on the ground that Secretary Say-
ward has publicly announced that he is in
favor of the movement, and it is also claimed that in expressing their willing
ness to take z ror a day's pay the carpenters are making a. winning concession.
as hundreds of carpenters are to-day receiving from $2.23 to $2.73 a day. ARISES IX THE STEERAGE.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
ELWOOD, Ind.. April 17. Absolutely no
trace can be found of Charles F. Llspenard,
the missing Forester, who has not been
heard from since Nov. 24, when he left
Cairo, 111., in a skiff on the track of the
murderer of young Latta, of VIncennes.
Tho search still continues, and sensational
rumors are In circulation. A prominent
Forester of this city to-day received a let
ter from Llspenard's wife, who is now at
Logansport, and it is alleged that she made
some startling statements in regard to her
husband's disappearance. She is under-
Stood to have said that she believed a certain man well known in this city had mur
dered him, but as the authorities are keep
ing qujet and the letter was not given to
the public this cannot be verified, as those
who have Information are wearing padlocks
on their lips so far as the Llspenard mat
ter is concerned. Mrs. Llspenard says that
their home life was happy, and that her
husband did not desert his family, as has
been suggested. Few who knew the man
believe that this Is the case, and insist
that If he hod not been killed he would
have returned or written before this. The
general belief is that the man who followed
him in a skiff from Cairo killed him in
some deserted spot along the Mississippi.
The investigation will continue, and there
Is a ba possibility that the Foresters are
In possession of more information than has
leaked out, and that some decisive step win
be taken soon in tne way of clearing up
the mystery.

Xeed torn Protection of Passengers on
Atlantic Steamers.
P. O'Neill Larkln, in Donahoe's Magazine.
On the Thursday night before we reached Boston a group of our passengers were
sitting down listening to a young woman
singing some pathetic ballads with a voice of
beautiful tone, carefully cultivated in a con
vent school in the south of Ireland. A sailor
who stood by volunteered to give us a song.
saying by way of preface that he heped the ladies -would pot blush. He sang a song which for filthy, brutal obscenity went beyond the lowest I could even imagine. At the end of the first verse one of the girls jumped to her feet, indignantly exclaiming:
'Come down stairs, girls, from that Insulting
uiacKguara." 'me rascal nnisned his song. T nitrViArt t Vi rAAnla ofAitn1 Ka rnra a

This thing never occurs on the French
steamers between New York and Havre, be
cause on these the members of the crew not on duty are obliged to confine themselves to
their own quarters. Such a rule should be
observed on the British ships. The United States law already protects steerage passengers while in their sleeping compartments from the Intrusion of the crew. It should be extended to protect them cn the main deck or elsewhere.
To safeguard the incoming passengers
aga-lnst insult Congressman McCall. of
.Massachusetts, win introduce an amendment to the existing law in the present ses-
f fon of Congress, which. If carried, will effectually put a stop to the shameful state which, has prevailed, and make the main
deck or any other place on board as safe for females as in the saioon. Readers of this magazine can he!p In this materially by drawing up a petition addressed "To the Honorable .Senate and House of Repre

that tne passenger act or imz te amended

If before the 1st of next May we may have in the Revised Statutes of the United

BULUWAYO IN PERIL. (Concluded from First Page.)
natives In the town are becoming as thick
as bees. In ordinary times the natives come
and go in town without attracting attention.
The native population is at all times a
shifting one and r large number or the
men that make it up are not known In
dividually to the white people of the town or
to the authorities. The fact that the natives in the. town live apart from the whites adds
to the dimcuity of idennrying tncve wno hplnnar In thp tnwn Tint there is little mrjre
confidence felt In ftio natives who belong
in the town than in the hostile men who.
it Is believed, are being surreptitiously introduced to aid from within when an at
tack shall be made from without. It looks
row as though that might occur at any
tlme. .
The roads by which communication Is had with the south, both the one to Tull and the
one to Mafeking. are felt to be In peril.
There are undoubtedly large numbers of
hostile natives between Buuwayo and , the
settlements to the south, some of them in
open revolt. The situation Is felt to be most
serious and threatening.

Wars and Ramon of Wars Affect Many Other Causes. Pearson's Weekly. "To enumerate one-tenth of the queer delusions under which people suffer." paid a popular physician to a Pearson's Weekly representative, who was seeking some Information on the subject, "would take a much longer time than either you or I have to spare. However. I can tell you of one or two atrange delusions which occur to me. In time of hysterical excitement, especially like the present when the continental outlook is not as agreeable as It might be, the number of deluded persons is very materially increased. A war scare creates no end of harmless lunatics perhaps it would be better to say that it brings their idiosyncrasies out who personate mighty warriors and profess to be eager to lead the troops, desplle the fact that a pop-gun is about the most terrible instrument tbey have ever handled. "At the present moment there are several people going about who Imagine themselves to be the German Emperor, while if England had a war with Russia there would certainly be a few czars walking up Regent street. The reason of this is that weak-minded persons are very apt to Imagine themselves to be anybody who Is attracting attention at the moment. Thus during the Tichbourne trial there were several Tichboumes in the world. Even during the progress of a big murder trial some shaky individuals appropriate the name of the prisoner and apply it to themselves In a misdirected outburst of self-glorification. "An exceedingly common delusion among women Is to consider that men are In love with them when they are not. I have known one woman to write periodically to a man and decline an Imaginary offer of marriage. The man in question has never even seen the woman in his life, yet he receives the letters regularly. A certain member of 'Parliament was the victim of similar embarrassing attentions not very long ago. "Clergymen are much pestered by love-letter writing ladles members of their congregation?, but personally unknown to the incumbentwho believe that everybody must of necessity be in love with them. I, kno.v one woman who fancies that every mm she meets is in love with her. Several well-known people suffer under this form of delusion they Im-iglne that voices have told them that certain people are madly In love with them. "There are many persons who live perfectly miserable existences because they are beset by the conviction that something dreadful is pending. They get very low and depressed, and nothing will turn them. This morbid imagination- Is a most terrible thing, as it lasts for years. Fancy going about for years In fear that something appalling was going to happen at any moment. "A man of my acquaintance ha 3 such a horror of dogs that he would never pass one on the street, ani If by any chance one brushed up against him he would Immediately Teturn home and change his clothes. Nobody could persuade him to use the garment again. His hatred of the canine species was amazing. He would never sneak to the owner of a dog. nor when in a hotel would he allow a servant who had ren
dered a service to a man who owned a dog
to come near him nor touch any of his things. Mention of the word 'ugly affects me people very peculiarly. 'A clergyman once trIM to kill himself because he heard fomebody utter a remark derogatory to his personal arytiranc,'
