5f which Mr. King declared that the Ohio member had become a common scold. j TlT FOR TAT. "If the law against common scold3 were y till In force." flashed back Mr. Grosvenor,

"you would have been ducked to death long ao." "Ana you would have been ducked anterior to that. retorted Mr. King. At this point, when the chair Intimated that the amendment as drawn was not In older, Mr. K'ng changed It so as to place it In the exact language of the Landl3 amendment and making it apply only to Utah and Indiana. Mr. Payne, of New York, who was in the chair, thought as the amendment would modify the previous amendment upon Utah It would not be in order. Mr. King seized eagerl upon this suggestion and modified it so as to make it applicable to Indiana alone. In this form the chair held that it was in order. Mr. Kins explained briefly that he would have been perfectly willing to include Utah with Indiana, but could not do so without leaving tt subject to a point of order. lie again reverted to the amendment already adopted, which, he declared, was a gratuitous Insult to his State. lie spoke of the agricultural college of Utah as one that had gained a splendid reputation by its achievements and paid a high tribute to the Governor of Utah. who. he said, had appointed so-called "gentiUs." If teachers had been appointed who were obnoxious they had been appointed by men outside of the pale of the dominant church. The amendment was an affront to the people of Utah and to the Republican officials of the State. Mr. Grosvenor said he had not voted for the amendment with the Idea of assaulting the people of Utah. Mr. Mlers. of Indiana, appealed to Mr. King o withdraw the amendment. It had cerved the gentleman's purpose, he said, and he appealed to him not to cast a reflection upon the college at Lafayette. Ind. The debate waa cut short at this point by a demand for the previous question and the oraendment was voted down by a viva voce Vote. After this action had been taken Mr. King asked the privilege of withdrawing it. lie said it had not been his Intention to allow it to come to a vote. The request was not granted. When the bill was reported to the House Mr. King demanded a separate vote upon the Landis amendment, which was then stricken from the bill by a rising vote Cd to 13. The bill waa passed and at 5:4 p. m. the House adjourned. - SHIPPING BILL DEBATE. Senators Turly and James K. Jone Speak Against the Measure. "WASHINGTON, Jan. 30. The shipping bill wa3 kept at the front In the Senate throughout to-day. No appreciable progress was made, most of the time being occupied by Mr. Turley, of Tennessee, and Mr. Jone3. of Arkansas, In speeches opposing the bill and severely arraigning Its alleged favoritism. Mr. Jones declared it should be entitled "A bill to permit a select coterie or snip owners to ioui juhcm States treasury." After the speeches the formal reading of the bill was completed, but corfftideratlon of amendments was not entered upon. Early in the day an unsuccessful effort fwas made to secure agreement to the conference report on the army reorganization bill. Mr. Clapp. the new senator from Minnesota, presented the credentials of his colleague, Mr. Nelson, and Mr. Burrows, of Michigan, presented the credentials of Senator McMillan, each for the six-year term from March 4 next. When the shipping bill was taken up Mr. Aid rich gave notice of two amendments, one providing that applicants for rubsidy shall contract to build a new vessel within the United States within ttree years and a second providing that the utmost limit of subsidy shall be fifteen years Instead of twenty years, as provided in the bill. Mr. Turley in his speech declared that already the shipping interests had unusual privileges under the tariff, the postalbounty laws and In many other ways. He compared the cost of ship building in various countries. This broug-t out a statement from Mr. Vest that ships could be tuilt for less in the United States than in any other country. As proof of this he eaid Japan had advertised for the lowest and best bid on a cruiser and the American bidders had taken the contract, under-bidding the British ship builders by 20 per cent. Later, when Russia called for like bids, the American builders again underbid the foreigners. Only two weeks ago, Mr. Vest said, the Cramps had secured a contract for building a cruiser for Turkey as tgainst all other competitors. : Mr. Turley spoke for two hours and was followed by Mr. Jones in opposition to thi measure. Mr. Jones said the bill proposed to take millions out of the public treasury and give It as a free gift to certain favored Subsidy beggars." One of the worst features of the measure, he said, was that the vast sums to be paid as subsides to a few wealthy concerns were wrung from the laboring people and the poor. Mr. Jones eaid the bill should be entitled "A bill to enable a select coterie of ship owners to loot the United States treasury." He argued that commercial development and extension must come from our natural advantages and enterprise and not from the legislative stimulus of subsides. Mr. Jones spoke for two hours and then Mr. Berry called for the formal reading of FAIR WEATHER TO-DAY. boirer Temperature in Rstreme Southern Portion of Indiana. WASIHNGTON, Jan. SO.

the bill. This brought on considerable controversy as to the present form of the bill. Mr. Frye "declared that Democratic senators were delivering New York Reform Club speeches against the measure, apparently believing it was the Hanna bill of two years ago, whereas It had been entirely changed and bore little resemblance to that measure. Mr. Morgan said he thought very few senators knew what was In the bill. He had been "fox hunting," trying to locate amendments and learn what was in the bill, but had been unable to do so. Mr. Jones also spoke of the kaleidoscopic changes of the bill and the Inability of people to keep track of it. As a matter of information the detailed reading of the bill was agreed to. After the formal reading of the bill it was temporarily laid aside. Bills were passed establishing fish hatchcries and fish stations in Idaho and In Indiana. At 5:50 p. m. the Senate adjourned.

Minority to Confer. WASHINGTON, Jan. 30. A' conference of Democrats and their associates of the Populist and Silver Republican faith will be held to-morrow as a result of the declaration yesterday by Mr. Frye that h? Intended to push the consideration of the ship subsidy bill to the exclusion :" all ether business, except by vote of the Senate. This conference will (Ltemni.' the fate of the bill. If the opponents or ti? measure decide to continue a stiff iicrht ond debate the measure ?i rtat length it will mean defeat at thLs es;don with the short time remalnlr.g iu ras.s the appropriation bills. The conference also will take into consideration the jut'on whether the minority will desire to take .the responsibility of defeating party tp.ou.svrti of the majority. Some of the opporcMits of the bill on the Democratic side feci that if the Republicans are determined to pa3 the bill the minority should not gj further than to state their objection fully and vote against it. and to let the Republicans take the responsibility which is theirs. It also develops that no one wants an extra session and that one will be avoided if there Is any possible way of doing so. It is even said that the Spooner bill will be passed In order to avoid such session after the 4th of March. Republican leaders say that they believe an extra session can be avoided. They also say that the Democrats must decide whether they wiil take the responsibility of defeating the cubsidy bill, and if it is demonstrated that they are willing to take that responsibility then other necessary legislation will be pressed rapidly to avoid an extra session. MOSQUITO FLEET SAFE. The AnnapoIU Frolic, Wampatuek and PJseataqna at the Canaries. WASHINGTON, Jan. 30. The Navy Department received a cablegram to-day announcing the arrival of the mosquito fleet nt the Canary Islands. This fleet of small vessels consists of the cruiser Annapolis, the converted yacht Frolic and the tugs Wampatuck and Plscataqua. They are enroute to Manila for patrol duty in the Philippines. The department has been much alarmed as to the safety of the fleet because merchant shipping in the same waters has suffered severely. Secretary Long has sent the following cablegram to the senior officer of the fleet, Commander Rohrer, of the Annapolis: "Department congratulates you and squadron on successful passage." The little vessels left the Bermudas on Jan. 12. Another dispatch Ju9t received announces the arrival at Gibraltar of the big naval collier Caesar.

Other China mall advices in brief are as fellows: The allies havo declared the Krupp guns in the Shanhaikuan forts International, to prevent their removal, the Russians previously having carried off all the guests in the Pie-Tang forts, in the absence of such an arrangement. The winter, began in north China on Deq. 7 with a two-foot fall of snow and tho prospect for the poor natives was very dreary. Piracy prevails to an extent heretofore unknown along the Shan-Tung promontory, the poor peasants being robbed ever of their bedding. The British naval authorities have been pirate hunting with good results, and many of the marauders have been killed and their junks destroyed. Erll Side of Warfare. BERLIN, Jan. 30. A dispatch to the Cologne Volks Zeitung from China relates horrible details about the warfare in that country and says: "We hope the awful conditions will soon cease. The depravity and beastiallty also among our troops is enormously on the Increase. Large numbers of old soldiers are sentenced to long terms In the penitentiary and Jail for murder, rape or burglary. Our losses are certainly greater that way than by death. Diseases are still rampant, especially typhus. Dlsentery is increasing. During November there were nine deaths from disease in Pao-Ting-Fu alone and also two from powder explosions. One magazine containing 450,000 pounds of powder was blown up, but only one man was killed and three men were wounded." Forty Japanese Killed. SHANGHAI, Jan. 30.

MUTINY AT ST. HELENA

UK VOLT OF WEST INDIAN TROOPS, WHO WEHE GUARDING CROXJE. Finally Subdued at the Slasxles of IUfleK Kitchener Anxious to Send 10,000 Hoers to East India. LONDON, Jan. 30. The West Indian troops stationed at the IsHind of St. Helena, where General Cronje and a large number of Boers are held prisoners, mutinied Jan. 2, raided the town, terrorized the Inhabitants, injured many of them, defied their officers and were only finally subdued when faced by the muzzles of rifles. The censor suppressed the news, but the Associated Press has received the story by mail. The trouble btgr.n with a row on the night of ' Jm. 1 between some blue jackets and a party of the West Indians. On the following night the West Indians broke out of barracks and raided the town with clubs and. razors tied to sticks. They ran amuck, cutting and beating women, children and men indiscriminately and attacked the sailors' rest, tearing out the doors and windows. All the efforts of the officers to suppress the mutiny were futile. When ordered to the camp they refused to obey and threatened to dynamite the town. A strong naval force was landed, the available troops were collected, and the streets were paraded and guarded all night long. At day-break the troops were arawn up with loaded rifles in front of the place where the West Indians were barricaded. The latter were ordered to surrender and were notified that If they did not do so, they would be fired upon. The mutineers were finally cowed and were taken to the camp where they will remain under guard until a troop ship arrives to remove them. Edward Cable to Kitchener. LONDON, Jan. 31. "It is reported unofficially," says the Cape Town correspondent of the Daily Mail, "that General Do Wet has entered Cape Colony with a fairly strong .force. The impatience felt in England at the slow progress of the operations is not warranted, as preparations are being made for a general movement shortly. Kind Edward has sent the following dispatch to .Lord Kitchener: 'One of the Queen's last inquiries was after yourself and the gallant army under your command. " I)c Wet and Knox Engaged. LONDON, Jan. 30. Lord Kitchener reports to the War Office under date of Pretoria, Jan. 29. as follows: "De Wet has been engaged by Knox forty miles north of Thabanchu. No details. De Wet intends again attempting an invasion of Cape Colony. Smith-Dorlen has returned from Carolina, having dispersed the Boers. A force of Boers this morning entered Berlsburg and damaged two mines. Commandant Marals Is among the prisoners taken." Boers May lie Sent to Bengal. CALCUTTA, Jan. 30. It is reported that Lord Kitchener wishes to send ten thousand Boer prisoners to India. He proposes to locate them in Bengal. ALL IS READY. (CONCLUDED FROM FIRST PAGE.) proached the flags were mastheaded on the Hohenzollern, the other yachts dressed ship and tho blue Jacketes manned ship. A large crowd -of spectators was present. The gray clouds and heavy seas of the past week are giving way to a blue sky and smooth water. The arrival of the warships is somewhat diverting interest from Osborne House. The esplanade Is lined with people, and the numerous yachts in these waters give the roads the aspect of rating week. East Cowes. however, is as mournful as ever. The shades are drawn and business has ceased. The only enlivenment in the streets Is an occasional carriage with equerries or officers in cocked hats returning from paying their- last respects to the dead. Since noon the battleships have been steaming up to Spithead. and have already extended the line of warships two and a half cables apart, which have taken up position in single line, all dressed from stem to stern. The khakl-palnted gun carriage, with a specially constructed coffin-shaped structure, has arrived here, with six artillery hordes. A rehearsal was gone through from Trinity pier to Osborne. The construction of the mortuary chapel on the quarter deck of the royal yacht Alberta is proceeding apace. The most elaborate precautions are being taken to prevent any hitch in Friday s arrangements. A company of the Queen's Guard again rehearsed the military movements in the narrow and tortuous streets, whlie the bearers experimented with a leadweighted bier of the same weight as the royal coffin. Emperor William and Lord Lonsdale had a long stroll In the grounds of Osborne House this morning. The ueteetives continue the same rigorous precautions which have been observed since the arrival here of Emperor William. Every steamer or launch arriving on either side of the Madina river is closely scrutinized, while the approaches to Osborne House are as effectively guarded as ever, though the authorities deprecate tho idea that they have any particular apprehension of the presence of undesirable foreigners. The Deputy Governor has ordered all business places on the island to be closed from 12 o'clock to 4 p. m. Friday. Emperor William and the Duke of Connaught will sleep on board the imperial yacht Hohenzollern Friday night, while King Edward. Queen Alexandra and other members of the royal family will be distributed on board the royal yachts Osborno and Victoria and Albert. Princess Beatrice took her children to the chappelle ardente to-day for a final look at the coffin. ARRANGEMENTS AT WINDSOR. Preparations for the Final Ceremonies Rehearsals nt the Castle. WINDSOR, Jan. 30. Several of the younger members of the royal family arrived here this evening and went to the castle for the funeral. Rehearsals of the distinctive features of the obsequies aro recurring constantly. Practically the whole cf the royal borough will be draped in mcurning, wherea3, elsewhere, only the route of the procession will be thus marked. Enormous numbers of floral emblems, from ihv six-foot' cross of royalty to .the tiny tributes of the local cottagers, are pouring in. and are being hung In the chapel. Only the wreaths of the royal family will be deposited round the catafalque. The service in St. George's Chapel will begin at 2 o'clock. The body is expected to arrive at Windsor at 1:30 p. m. The route t-i the chapel, which occupies half an hour, will be lined by troops, two deep, the Eton Volunteers participating with the guards. The service will be the ordinary servlca used for the' burial of the dead, with special, music. The choir will sing from the altar steps, whence, also the Garter king-of-arms will announce the dec-case of the rdvereign and all he rights and titles. Accommodation has been reserved on the left of the ooffin for the princesses. The King and other crowned heads will stand at the head. Enormous crowds are expected. People are willingly paying 20 for a window from which to view the procession. A small crowd gathered this afternoon to lev tho wreaths sent up from Osborne and placed around the ancient cloister adjoining St. George's Chapel. Windsor castle was deserted, save for the sightseers. The standard floated at half-mast on top of the great tower, rooks cawed mournfully around the ivy-covered buttresses and from the chapel came the clang cf carpenters' hammers. Cart-loads of timber were constantly arriving, with which . lands are being built about the chapel v.r accommodate those who will view the service on Saturday. In the town black and purple drapery is beginning to cover the antiquated houses. Masses of flowers made up in crosses and crowns from rare blossoms that are the gifts of royal personages down to humble posies sent by children, thousands of flower pieces, including tokens from most of th members of the aristocracy, numerous clubs, country towns, cities, societies, regiments, inmates of workhouses and even the smallest nosegays aro laid

out for public view side by side with the designs of the great florists. Some of the flowers are fading, but every express brings fresh additions. The services here on Saturday will be conducted by the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Bishop of Winchester and the Dean of Windsor. The Archbishop of York and the Bishop of Oxford will be present. The Interment, on Monday, will be conducted by the Bishop of Winchester and the Doan of Windsor.

ROYAL 31 Ol' II NE IIS. Arrival of the King: of t Portugal, Belgium and Greeee. LONDON. Jan. 30. King Charles I. of Portugal, with his suite arrived at Dover at 10 o'clock this morning. He was received with a royal salute and military honors. King Charles, with a suite, and who was accompanied from Dover by the Portuguese minister, Senhor Pinto de Sovcral, and his staff, reached Victoria station, London, at noon. He was met on the platform of the station by Prince Christian of Schleswig-Holstein, in behalf of King Edward, and various officials of King Edward's household. His Majesty's equerry delivered an autograph message from King Edward to King Charles and the latter and his suite were Immediately driven In royal carriages to Buckingham palace. King Charles was vrarmly greeted by the fair-sized crowds which gathered alons the route in anticipation of his arrival. There was no military escort. Later in the day King Edward visited the King of Portugal. The Duke of Spar'a and the Grand Duke of Baden reached Victoria station at 5 o'clock. They were received by Prince Charles or Denmark and members of the king's household. The visitors proceeded to Marlborough House. Tho Kings of Greece and Belgium also arrived to-day. The Duke of Orleans has decided to attend the funeral of Queen Victoria. He will arrive in London Saturday, and on Sunday will deposit a wreath on the casket containing her Majesty's remains. The Duke's decision is interesting in view of his message of congratulation to the Paris artist who caricatured Queen Victoria in a most insulting manner, which resulted in the Duke being ostracised In England. The Spanish battleship Pelayo. Spain's representative at the funeral, is commanded by Captain Diaz Moreu. who was commander of the Cristobal Colon, lost in the battle of Santiago. The United States military attache here, Major Edward B. Cassatt, will ride in the procession with the headquarters staff. It is understood that Emperor William will leave England Tuesday, traveling direct to see Dowager Empress Frederick. Prince Henry of Prussia will go with the squadion under his command to Dutch waters for the wedding of the Queen of Holland. 'It is rumored that there will be a levee and drawing room within a month or six weeks. TRIBUTE BY ROSCHER Y. Ills Lordship Speak nt ft 3Iectfng of the Royal Scottish Corporation. LONDON, Jan. 30. Lord Roseberry presided at a special meeting to-day of the Royal Scottish Corporation, called in London, to pas resolutions expressing sorrow at the death of Queen Victoria and of congratulations on the accession of King Edward VII. There was a crowded attendance. Nearly all the Scottish lords were present. Lord Roseberry remarking that he would pass lightly over the congratulatory part of the programme, said his Majesty's speech at the privy council meeting sufficiently Indicated the laws by which he Intended his reign should bo governed, thus promising to make his rule no less Illustrious than that of his parent. Lord Roseberry then dwelt In eloquent terms on the life and death of Queen Victoria, saying that in the whole history of mankind no death had touched such a large number of persons In the entire world. There was scarcely an intelligent Individual In the civilized world but was profoundly moved. He wondered if her subjects yet realized hew much they had lost and what enormous weight the Queen had had in the councils of the world. It was not brilliancy or genius which could supply the advantage which she gave Great Britain, but her fund of knowledge, which was unequaled by any constitutional historian. It was no disparagement of other, kings to say she was the chief of European sovereigns, and her Influence In the councils of nations was always used for peace, freedom and gcod government. Lord Strathcona and Mount Royal seconded the resolutions. Duke of York Not Seriously III. COWES, Isle of Wight, Jan. 30. An official bulletin Issued to-day says the Duke of Cornwall and York, who Is suffering from German measles, is progressing satisfactorily. Though his condition is not serious he will be unable to attend tho Oueen s funeral. The illness of the Duke of Cornwall and, York causes considerable discussion in connection with his projected visit to Australia. While the preparations have not been stopped, it is understood that it is likely to cause a postponement of the date of the visit for perhaps two' months. German Praise for Edward. BERLIN, Jan. 30. Apparently the German press is growing more friendly toward King Edward VII. The Kruez Zeitung points out the new monarch's "great popularity and great knowledge of men." The Berliner Tageblatt, in the course of a long article, praises his courage and the "complete fearlessness of attempts at assassination," which he has displayed, adding that he "understands the English character thoroughly and possesses remarkable tact." GIUSEPPI VERDI'S FUNERAL. Body of the Famous Composer Interred Without Ceremony. MILAN. Jan. 30. The funeral of Verdi took place to-day. All the authorities followed the bier. The ceremony was most simple, but most impressive owing to the silent homage of the populace, who were present at the service in immense numbers. The remains of Verdi were borne from his residence and placed in a modest funeral car, which, followed by a few intimate friends, proceeded to the church of St. Francis, the facade of which bore the inscription: "Peace to the soul of Gluseppl Verdi." The religious ceremony lasted only five minutes. Then a procession was formed, headed with priests, and with firemen marching beside the car, which was followed by friends, of the deceased, the local authorities and citizens bareheaded. A vast concourse lined the route, and people even climbed the trees to get a glimpse of the cortege. Several houses were draped with mourning. On the arrival of the body at the cemetery the crowd was so large that two squadrons of carbineers were unable to keep open a space around the graveside. The remains of the composer were interred without ceremony and there were no speeches made. Warn a Friend of Noted Men. CIIARDON, O., Jan. 30. Hon. I. N.

MERELY PRECAUTIONARY. Seeret Ihnminnlion of Hooka of lialtlmore Hank. BALTIMORE, Jan. 30. A secret examination of the accounts has just been mad in every department of the Merchants National Bank, one of the leading financial Institutions of this city. The examination was conducted with so much secrecy that not even the most trusted employes of the bank knew that it was In progress, although two weeks were occupied in making it. Douglass H. Thomas, president of the bank, to-day gave the following explanation of It: "We have taken what I believe to be a new departure In banking customs, in that we have had a thorough overhauling of the affairs of the bank In order to assure ourselves beyond doubt that no irregularities nor discrepancies exist In any department. There has been no suspicion upon our part, not has the examination been made because of anything tending to raise a doubt in our minds concerning anything or any body connected with the bank. It is simply the inception of a system which we purpose to adopt In the future of making periodical examinations of a similar nature independent of those made by the board of directors and the national bank examiner. Under the system which we have adopted long continued manipulation of books and accounts will be impossible and the consequent danger of breaches of faith upon tho part of employes in all branches will be reduced to a minimum, if not prevented entirely."
