I:., who died suddenly. Sunday morning, of apoplexy, was draped in blark and covered with azaleas and roses when the IIoue met yesterday. The chaplain, in his invocation, referred feelingly to General Shaw's death. OrIr.s to the extreme pressure "f the public business it was decided by the House leaders that it would be inexpedient to adjourn immediately out of respect to his memory. The body was taken to Wattrtown tills afternoon. The Stato Department knows nothing ofllcially cf the reported organisation by the New York company of a military forces in this country to protect Its own interests in 'Venezuela. With the latter country tho United States is on friendly terms, and it could not allow our territory to be made the base of operations aainit Venezuela, if it should be disclosed to the department that these were of hostile Intent. Dut if the Venezuelan government does not make complaint against tue departure of the reported expedition It Is Improbable that any action will be taken here. Senator Aldrlch to-day sent the following di.cpatch to A. B. Hepburn, chairman of tin American Association of Rankers, New York: "Am receiving a larse number of letters from banks throughout the country, Ff-nt in response to a request Issued by your secretary, demanding that the tax on bank capital shall be entirely removed. Tho lfou.se retained the entire tax, and the Senate has reduced It one-half. No action is possible In conference except to agree to either the House or Senate provision or adopt some compromise between the two. I hope this statement will save th members of your assovCation and the members of the finance committeo much unnecessary correspondence." TBIBUTES TO IINCOIK.

In the course of his address Mr. Wafterson said: "I want to say just here a few words about tho relation of Abraham Lincoln t the South. He was the only one who could have come to the position without animosity towards tho South. Though of poor parentage, he was far from bein? a poor white. Lincoln committed one grieveus error. He was bound to think and to say what he thought was right, lhi was ahead of his time, and those who could not understand him, as is usual In such cases, could only abuse him." GUILTY OF CONTEMPT. Federal Marshal from Nome Sent to Jail for Three Months. SAN FRANCISCO. Feb. 11. Marshal McKenzie, of Nome, Alaska, was found guilty of contempt, to-day, and severely punished. McKenzie declined in two cases to obey the writ of supersedeas issued by Judge Morrow directing him as receiver to turn over money and gold dust in his pos session to the owner. Considerable evi dence was introduced in an effort to prove that a conspiracy existed between officials at Nome to secure control of valuable claims. Mr. McKenzie claimed that he was not gnllty of contempt, because all the papersand orders issued by Judgo Morrow hau not been hied in the District Court at Nome at the time he was accused of disobeying . tho writs. McKenzie was ordered to be confined In the San Fran Cisco county jail for six months on each charge, one term to succeed the other. Ho was in court and appeared very much sur prised at the sentence imposed. HEEDED THE WARNING.

Previous to pulling into the station Mrs. Nation looked into the smoking car and said: "Boys, I'd come In and rive you a talk but I can't stand the smell." Liquor Spilled, Fixtures Horned. HOLTON, Kan., Feb. 11. The crusade against the jolntlsts which was commenced hero Saturday was vigorously continued today. The place owned by Mrs. Hicks, which was raided Saturday, was open again.

At to-day's meeting of the Presbyterian Ministers' Association of this city, one of those present tried to make an address concerning Mrs. Carrie Nation, the saloon smasher. He said: "I wish here to thank God for the work of one of His daughters, who his had tne courage to attack Satan In his den. She has taken the slimy monster by the throat and I hope will throttle him." At this point the chairman called the speaker to order, saying his remarks were not In order. The Baptist ministers' conference to-day adopted a resolution protesting against the proposed legislation to legalize the Sunday opening of the saloons in Buffalo during the Pan-American exposition. Mr. Nation's Methods Not Approved. NEW YORK. Feb. 11. Mrs. Julia B. Gates, recording secretary of the New York county W. C. T.

WU TO THE SILK MEN

Hi: COXCIfATLLATHS TIIH31 UPOX THIS COU.XTUY'S FAIKMISS. Japanese Milliliter Offended Because the Diner Talked Threw His 3Innuscrlnt on the Floor. NEW YORK, Feb. 11. Over 373 members of the Silk Association of America and their guests sat down to the twenty-ninth anniversary banquet of the association' at Dclmonico's to-night. The conspicuous guest of the evening was the Chinese min ister, Wu Tingfang. When he reached the reception room where the guests assembled before the banquet he was surrounded by many members of the association, who joked him about his recent notoriety over his letter of regret to the dinner given by the Society of the Genesee, which General Oti3 attended. The Chinese minister took the matter good naturedly, though he made no reply to any of the sallies. The banquet hall was gorgeously decorated with silk. After Senator Thurston and Senator Gallinger had spoken, Mr. Wu was introduced, to speak to the toast, "The Youngest Great Nation In the Eyes of the Oldest Great Nation." - Among other things, he said: "It is a well-known maxim that as a man grows old he becomes wiser, and In my country, especially, when a man grows older he commands more respect. But although your nation Is the youngesf, I think I am justified in saying that it commands as great respect as the oldest nation on earth. You deserve thi3, not on account of your age, but on account of your wisdom, intelligence and enterprise. From thi3 country our country has much to learn. You are for fair play, justice and righteousness. When a nation has these things it will prosper. It will be respected by all nations, especially in the far East." The Japanese minister. Mr. Kogoro Takahlra, followed Minister Wu. He began to read his speech in a very loud voice, which commanded attention by It3 tone. But before he had read far he got down to a singsong tone, which made a majority of the diners forget the speech and talk among themselves. Half a dozen times they talked and laughed so loudly thai General Congdon had to rap hard for attention. Then the minister would break cut of his sing-song style and read a few sentences in a clearer tone, but soon relapse Into the tone which would almost become Inaudible. The talking and laughing continued, and the speaker threw down his paper on the table, folded his hands in front of him and. closing his eyes, stood silent. For a second there was a quietness. Thl3 was broken by a call for cheers for the Japanese minister. They were given with great vigor, but the receipient was vexed and flung his' paper down on the Iloor. Senator Gallinger picked the paper up and handed It to the minister, wbo was persuaded to start again. He soon relapsed into the sing-song style and the talking and laughing began again. Thereupon the minister flung the paper down on the table and sitting down, would not tinlsh. DISTRESS IN RUSSIA. Many People on the Verce of Starvation Owing to Failure of Crops. ST.

I cannot too highly recommend Munyou's Witch Hazel Soap for the Toilet. It will cure chapped hands and lips in a night It will soften and improve any complexion. It will heal sores, cure baby-rash, and remove dandruff. It is more soothing than cold cream, more healing than any lotion, liniment or salve, more beautifying than any cosmetic. It is absolutely PURE. AIUNYON.

In order that the price may not prevent anyone from using this soap, druggists have been authorized to sell the regular 25ccnt size for 15 cents, and the trial size for 5 cents, sent by mail on receipt of price. V. S. I regard Soap as a Medicine. It affects the whole human system. It either benefits or injures. The pores of the body take into the system more or less of the soap, and the blood carries the same to every organ of the body. Therefore it is important that people should use only soap that is free from poisonous fats and dangerous alkalies. The time will come when scientists will discover that many diseases have been transmitted by the use of impure soaps. I want the public to have the same confidence in my soap that they have inxmy Rheumatism Cure or my Cold Cure. I know that my Rheumatism Cure will relieve almost any rheumatic pain in from one to three hours, and will cure in a few days, just as surely as I know that my Cold Cure will cure colds in the head, colds on the lungs, new colds, old colds, and obstinate colds, and will prevent Grippet Pneumonia and Diphtheria. I not only know it, but thousands of people who have been cured over the country know it, just as they know' that my Dyspepsia Cure and other Remedies do all that I claim for them. You can get the Remedies at any drug store, mostly for 25 cents a vial, or Broadway and 26th streets, New York. MUNYON.

TILL DAY BEFORE FIGHT DECISION IN THE CINCINNATI INJUNCTION CASG RESERVED. Judce IIolHster "Will Make No Ruling; Until Thursday Arrangements for the "Mill" Completed. CINCINNATI. Ib. 11. The hearing of arguments by Judge Hohlster on the application for a permanent Injunction against the Jeffrles-Ruhlin contest here next Friday night closed shortly after 6 o'clock tonight. Judge Holllster announced at once that ho would reserve his decision until 11 a. m. next Thursday. He stated there were so many exhibits and citations of authority that he desired two days for the preparation of his finding. This means that the present suspenso of the Saengerfest Athletic Association, Managers Brady and Madden, the contestants and others will continue until the day before the date fixed for the contestt. All the arrangements at the big hall nnd elsewhere" are completed, and the sale of tickets continues brisk. Tho hearing in Judgo Holllster's court, which began last Tuesday, and the declarations of th4 Governor, evidently do not affect the demand for tickets. Manager Brady was in court a short time this afternoon, but he is the only one connected with the contestants who was there. Ed Cooke, Madden and all the rest were busy in their arrangements, and the usual programmes were carried out at both training quarters. The arguments of Hertensteln and Hettinger and Wilson for the defendants and of Harmon and Wald for the plaintiffs commanded the closest attention. Counsel for plaintiffs urged the court to make a precedent for such extraordinary cases. Counsel for tho defense replied bitterly to the purpose of inventing the precedent. The passes between counsel to-day were very bitter. The old riots of 1SS4 were revived by Harmon, to which Bettlnger and Wilson replied most bitterly. The most remarkable address or argument was by Gustavus Wald, who closed, and who as a representative German insisted that he did not represent any creed or class, but the best interests of secular government. Most of the clergy of this city were in the courtroom. Wald turned to them when he Faid that neither he nor any member of his family belonged to a church and that none of his kindred for generations have belonged to any church and that he was opposing the prize fight for the Interest of the State. The directors of the Saengerfest Athletic Club to-night announced that they would hold a meeting to-morrow and discuss the feasibility of postponing the JeffrlesRuhlln contest for several days if the court should decide in their favor on Thursday next. The fight promoters are not in the least discouraged, but they are of opinion that If the decision is not rendered until Thursday afternoon it would greatly affect the attendance, as people from distant points would hardly have time to reach this city for the contest Friday night. Thoy will probably therefore decide at the meeting to-morrow to postpone the contest. Gov. Yates Will Stop All FlKlitInK. SPRINGFIELD, 111., Feb. ll.-Governor Yates to-day made tho following statement regarding prize fighting: "The law and the people of this State are against prize fighting, and tho law will be enfereee whenever and wherever I have "the power to enforce lt.

The public relations committee of Hartford (Conn.) Public Theological Seminary recently sent letters to the Y. M. C.
