DOFFS IIIS SENATORIAL. MANTLE.

Ths credentials of Joseph W. Bailey as senator from Texas and of F. M. Simmons as senator from North Carolina also were presented. Mr. McComas created something of a stir by moving that the credentials of the North Carolina senator be referred to the com ndttee on privileges and elections. Mr. Hoar emphatically objected, saying the people had the right to change the political complexion of the Senate every two years and that there should be no interruption In the reception of credentials except under most urgent conditions, ani after full explanation Mr. McComas withdrew hla motion on Mr. Chandler, chairman of the commfctee on privileges and elections, giving assurance that no right3 would be waived by the present reading of the credentials. The rest of the day was devoted to thIndian appropriation bill, the discussion turning on Irrigation and little progress t eing made.

PASSED II V THE IIOl'SE. Ulli to Revise und Codify the Postal LniT Acrimonious Debute. -, WASHINGTON. Jan. 2S. The major portion of the day In the House was occupied Jn the transaction of District of Columbia business. The bill to revise and codify the postal laws, which has been under consideration at intervals for ten days, was finally passed to-day. Its friends succeeded in confining the measure strictly to the purpose for which it was framed a codification and revision of existing laws. All attempts to amend It In any vital particular failed. The nest interesting feature of the day was an attempt to secure a vote on the Senate bill to appoint a committee to consider and adjudicate the claims of Vnlted States citizens ngainst Spain, arising out of the war with Spain which this goverrment assumed by Section 7 of the treaty of Paris. The House at the last fcesnimi recommitted a similar bill with InFtruellons to report back a bill to confer juritdlctlon In these cats upon the Court of Claims. Mr. I laugen, of the committee on war claims, secured consideration of a substitute for the bill drawn in accordance with the instructions of the House to vote down the substitute and pass the Senate bill.

of sharp practice over this mode of procvjdvre. but the matter was" settled temporarily by postponing consideration of the bill until next Monday. Mr. Ilroslus. chairman of the committee on banking and currency, called up his bill to extend national bank charters for twenty years. Mr. ltlchardson. the minority leader, demanded an explanation of the bill and, Mr. Hroslus explained that the charters of 1.707 national banks would expire July 4, IIK'2. Mr. Richardson objected. "Does the gentleman understand." asked Mr. r.rosius, "that this bill Is absolutely necessary to continue the existence of the national banks?" "If it absolutely necessary," replied Mr. Richardson, "why ha?. It not been brought In before this time? I object to its consideration by unanimous consent." A rather sensational parage occurred between Mr. Flynn. delegate from Oklahoma, and Mr. Stephens, of Texas, over the refusal of Mr. Stephens to give unanimous consent for consideration of an Oklahoma bill. Mr. Flynn declared that the proposed legislation was imperative, and said If it failed he (Mr. Stephens) would be responsible. He then attacked Mr. Stephens personally, charging that he had placed in the Ft. Hall reservation bill surreptitiously a section which no one knew waa in the bill. Then." he continued "he telegraphed a man in Texas that he had got the section in the bill, advised him to throw up hla job. locate a claim, and said that he (Mr. Stephens) was 'in with it " "Any one who makes that statement, no matter who he is." shouted Mr. Stephens, jumping to his feet, "tells a willful falsehood." "Do you deny that you telegraphed to a blacksmith to that effect?" asked Mr. Flynn. I reiterate that it is a falsehood." "I received my information of the man to whom the blacksmith sold out," replied Mr. Flynn. "Rut If the gentleman says it 13 untrue, I will take his word for It." The incident ended here. The Senate bill to place Brevet Colonel Thomas P. O'Reilly on the retired list of the army as a second lieutenant was passed. Mr. O'Reilly was a lieutenant In the Twenty-second Infantry in 1S72 and was dismissed on charges preferred by General K. S. Otis, then a major of the Twentysecond Infantry. A rill was passed for the relief of Robert W. Caldwell. Then, at 5:S0 p. ra.. the House adjourned. UP LIKE A ROCKET.

January Cotton Soared 255 Points in Xew York A Partial Reaction. NEW YORK, Jan. 2S. It was a great day for holders of January on the local Cotton Exchange. The fluctuations of that option were far more violent than ever before known, reaching a matter of 233 points amid Intense excitement, though singularly small trading. Shorts were crazed In the first hour by sensational reports of 13 cents being the price at which oversold January operators were to be allowed to "settle" and by claims that the clique would positively refuse to settle at all until the last moment. Oh the call the feeling was steady with January ten points higher and other months one point higher to three points lower. After a little selling, shorts began to get frightened and, by Jumps of twenty to seventy-five points at a time, January rose 255 points or 2.55 cents a pound. Selling to take profits followed, and, with spasmodic reactions, the future fell away, closing eighty-rive points higher, with sensational rumors in vogue of still heavier "squeezing" to-morrow. February and March sympathized, and at one time the former was up seventeen points, at 9.60, but the close found months other than January from one point higher for February to three points lower for May.

(CONCLUDED FROM FIRST PAGE.) ciate- with him in the case, in addition to Messrs. Maxwell and Wald, ex-United States Attorney , General Judson Harmon and John W. Warrington. The form of the suit will be a petition for an injunction against the parties named, based on the claim that they are about to perpetrate a public nuisance. It is on this claim of nuisance that It Is hoped to avoid the question of whether the contest is a prize fight or a boxing conte.-t. Mr. Maxwell points out that both the Mississippi and Indiana courts have abated such things by injunction. The people whose names figure In the case, on both sides, are of more than local prominence. The suit will bo filed In the Common Pleas Court of Hamilton county to-morrow morning. The petition will recite that the proposed boxing contest is "a public nuisance and against the peace and. dignity of the State." Among the allegations that will be made in support of this claim is that the event" would attract a large number of "toughs to Cincinnati." Attorney General Sheets is conlldent the Injunction will be allowed, but In event it is not, an appeal will immediately bo taken to the h!gher courts. SUIT "WILL BE FILED TO-DAY. Injunction To Be Applied for Sales of Tickets for the light. CINCINNATI. Jan. 2S.-The attorneys who were in consultation with Governor Nash and Attorney General Sheets at the State Capitol to-day. returned to this city to-night, but too late to file the petition for an Injunction. The suit in the name of the State against the directors and members of the Saengerfest Athleti: Association will be brought in one of the local courts to-morrow. The attorneys and others who are opposing the Jaffrles-Ruhlln contest here Feb. 15 will not Indicate In what court they will ask for the restraining order. According to the street talk to-night much depends on the Judge before whom the petition for an Injunction is heard. As the attorneys who present tho petition represent the ministers and all others opposing tho prize fight, it is generally eoncelel that they tvil go Into the court in which they think they have the bst chance to secure an injunction. While the drift of local opinion Is that the fight will be pulled off here 011 F"eb. 15, yet th-2 proceedings in Columbus to-d.iy throw another obstacle In the way of the promoters. There Is much feeling ngainst those who are opposing the light. The sale of seats for the contest opened early this morning and passed all expectations. Over JS.o') worth of the seats were disposed of within the first hour. Manager Cook stated to-nlht that the sale for the day was about J-uC. There were several applicants for $3 seats, but no general admission tickets will be sold until the day of the contest. No stats have been reserved on orders, nor will there be until local demand has been satisfied. Manager Cook has received orders for tickets from even State in the Union and he stated tonight that there would b? ever $100,000 In the hall on the night of the light. Both fighters took thitigs easy to-day. Ruhlin took the road for about ten miles this morning and In the afternoon exercised indoors.

LOTTfl CRITICALLY SICK

UHR ILLCSS SAID TO BK DID TO PT03IAINC POISOM.XG. She Is nt the Hotel avnrre, In Xerr York Her Lous and Successful Career on the Stage. NEW YORK, Jan. 2S. Miss Lotta Crabtree, the 'actress. Is said to be seriously ill at the Hotel Navarre, this city. Her illness Is due to ptomaine poisoning. Charlotte MIgnon Crabtree was born of English parents at 735 Broadway, New Tork, on Nov. 7, IS 18. In 1S31 she was taken to California. She made her real begin ning in the profession at Petaluma in 1S53 as Gertrude ;n the old-fashioned farce, "Tho Loan of a Lover." Later she traveled for two years as the star of a company and was billed as La Petite Lotta, taking rank as an Infant prodigy. She next adopted the variety business and In the early sixties was a favorite in San Francisco. After one of the mose successful and sensational benefits ever given on the Pacific coast she sailed for "the States," and on the l3t day of June, 1SC4, gave her first New York performance in Niblo's saloon. "Her style," said the New York Clipper, then tho accepted authority in such matters, "Is certainly not intended for a first-class audience. She is possessed of great versatility and plays the banjo equal to nine-tenths of the so-called first-class banjolsts. She Is possessed of a very musical voice and gives a song with much spirit. She can dance a regular breakdown tn true burnt-cork style and gives an Irish jig as well as. we have ever seen it done, ßhe has a pleasing countenance, looks charming on the stage, is up in all the tricks of the business and knows exactly how to put an audience in good humor." Her New York experiment was not a success then, but two months later (August, U64) she made a hit In Chicago in "The Seven Sisters." An enthusiastic admirer one night threw to her neatly done up in a handkerchief a $300 watch and chain. Three years later Clifton W. Tayleure took her into New York again, and she played a record-breaking engagement. At that time John Brougham dramatized for her "The Old Curiosity Shop" and bestowed on her tho descriptive phrase, "Dramatic cocktall." Lotta may bo said fairly enough to be the founder of a "school," for imitators have sprung up by the score. They always temalneu imitators. The only woman that came near to naturalness In the Lotta stylo of acting was Pattl Rosa, and she is dead. In private life Miss Crabtree is refined, brilliant, hospitable and above reproach Her fortune is said to reach 3,000,000. In winter when not in Europe she lives in New York. Her summer home is at Mount Arlington, Lake Hopatkong. New Jersey, about fifty miles from the metropolis on the Delaware & Lackawanna Railroad, where she and her mother and brother "Jack" entertain as many friends as their beautiful and roomy house can hold. She retired from public life at the peak of success, to the regret of uncounted thousands of fellow-beings, in whose lives she had teen like a ray of sunshine. HELD FOR PUNISHMENT. Notorious Haters of "Foreign Devils' Under Gnnrd in Peking. PEKING, Jan. 2S. Hsu Cheng I, son of Hsu Tung, tho notorious anti-foreign guardian of the heir apparent, and also Chlh Sin, a member of the Tsung LI Yamen, and the Boxer leaders captured In the Japanese quarter are being held for punishment. A meeting of the foreign envoys was held this morning, attended only by those whose fellow-countrymen have been killed In the interior provinces, the object being to decide what punishment should be inflicted upon minor offlcials. A report will be made to a general meeting of tho ministers to be held probably after the funeral of Queen Victoria, The ministers refuse to state the decisions arrived at, but it i3 believed that few will be beheaded and certainly not the highest offlcials. Li Hung Chang and Prince Chlng have, on their request, had Sheng and Chou Fu appointed to assist in the negotiations. Chou Fu is the newly-appointed treasurer of Chl-Ll, and was formerly Chinese minister to Corea. Not 31 11 eh Love for Missionaries. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. TERRE HAUTE. Ind., Jan. 28. Frank Ball, of Company M, Ninth Infantry, writing from Peking to his father, says that the soldiers do not have much love for the missionaries. Ho says that when the soldiers arrived at Peking, "the missionaries camo out and told us they had no milk tmd butter for two whole days and that they had been living on mule steak for a week. We would have been scared to deatu to see a glass of milk br a bit of butter. One woman wanted to know if 'those dirty men were American soldiers.' and asked if we ever washed our clothes. We 1 had been living on two slices of bacon a day, with some corned beef, so you can guess how much love we have for these people." Xlne Pence Conditions. LONDON, Jan. 20. The Dally News publishes tho following from Its Shanghai correspondent: "Sheng, the taotal, has received a telegram from LI Hung Chang saying that the Russian representatives in Manchuria presented to Tseng Chi, the Tartar general at Shen-King, nine peace conditions, restoring Manchuria to China but giving Russia absolute control of the province, she undertaking in case of war to support China.

Effort to Kill the Belief Department of the Pennsylvania Rontl. COLUMBUS, O., Jan. 2S. Attorney General Sheets to-day instituted In the Circuit Court of Franklin county proceedings in quo warranto to oust the Pennsylvania Railroad Company from continuing Its relief department. The State claims that the company, in violation of law and In abuse of Its corporate powers, is engaged in the business of transacting life and accident Insurance. After reciting the purpose for which the company was incorporated to operate a railroad between certain points the petition continues: "The relator further avers that.

An Enemy of Kvnnsion's "llllnd Pigs" Seriously Wounded. CHICAGO, Jan. 2S. Enemies of Joseph Wilhoff, a detective for the Evanston Antisaloon League, planned to murder him and attempted to execute the crime last night at Wilhoffs home, 211 Fletcher street. Concealed near the rear door of the detective's house, three men waited for h!m to come out, and when he made his appearance he was seized from behind, felled to the ground and stabbed in the region of the heart. Wilhoff, although he had received threatening anonymous letters, had continued his duties of securing evidence against the "blind pig" keepers of Evanston. Several arrests probably will be made to-morrow. STATEMENT BY NEELY SAYS HC DOKS XOT EXrCCT A FA 111 TRIAL AT IIA VAX A. InslntM That He I Innocent of the Chnrge of Stealing, hut Expects to Die In a Cnlian Prison. NEW YORK, Jan. The Journal and Advertiser contains a long dictated statement from Charles F. W. Neely, the accused postal official, who has just been taken to Cuba for trial. In the course or this Neely describes in detail how, after an issue of stamps had been made for the Cuban service, the surcharged stamps were destroyed. For the purpose of conducting the destruction Director General Rathbone appointed a commission, he says, composed of himself (Neely), Auditor Reeves, of the registry division, and Marfield, an Ohioan. It has been alleged that Neely stole many, thousand dollars' worth of stamps by burning In their place packages of waste paper. In reference to this charge Neely says about" these stamps: "The man who says they were not destroyed, or who says that I said the packages contained only brown paper, tells a damnable He. Save for one or two packages they were In their original form, the seal of the department unbroken, and if they contained only brown paper the fraud was. committed in Washington before tho stamps were shipped to Cuba." Further on Neely says: "Had I been desirous of stealing from the government, why did I not steal when there was a chance for me to steal something worth the while? I had plenty of opportunities to do so. On one occasion I could have pocketed over a million dollars. On one of my trips to the States, made on official business, I brought with me on the transport over K)0,0o0 in gold. I had at the same time In my pockets certificates of deposit made cut in my name and individual capacity on the Seventh National Rank, the government depository for postofflce funds, for over $300,000. That made over 11,200,000 that was as completely in my possession as though it were my own." Neely ends his statement in the following words: "The wild stories of extravagant speculation on my part while in Cuba are all the purest fiction. That I made money while In Cuba I never denied. But I made it legitimately, and it was the product of the private funds which I took to Cuba with me. My innocence can be proved, but I never expect to be able to prove it. The opportunltj' will not be given me, and I am prepared to be sacrificed and to receive a sentence of from eight to ten years. All idea of obtaining justice has left me, and I have no thought now than that my fate may be decreed as quickly as. possible. I cannot stand this strain, and when I go to a Cuban prison it will be with the knowledge that I have only a few more months to live, for no American can stand confinement in those tropical prisons. Rut sooner or later I expect the facts in this case to be made known and substantiated, and when that day comes the public will confess that it prejudged me, and that instead of being guilty I was Innocent of the crimes laid at my door." Xeely Will Get a Fair Trial. HAVANA, Jan. 28. Mr. Horatio Rubens, one of the special counsel for the government in the postofflce fraud case, says that C. F. W. Neely, the alleged embezzler, will be given a fair trial and every opportunity to establish his innocence. The trial will be In public and before a jury composed of seven judges.
