"What Will Mr. Hoar Do Now, Toor Thing? "Washington. Jan. 25. The senate met at no-n in continuation of the legislative day of Thursday, the pending question being the resolution to amend the rules by providing a method of c'os ng debate. Mr. Morgan resumed the floor and rontinued his argument begun on Saturday in opposition to the proposed rule and to the force bill, bo'hof which measures he claimed (on th? authority of the New York Times) to be for the advancement of Mr. Harrison's project f-r re-election. At 1 :20 Mr. Morgan yielded for a motion by Mr. Wolcott to proceed to the consideration of the apportionment bdl. Mr. D dph moved to lay that motion on the table, and the motion Trai rejected i mid much applause yea, 31; nays, 3.3. Senators Ca ueron, Jones (Nev.t, Stewart, Teller, Washburn, and Wolcott voted "No" with the democrats and Mr. Ingalls wa9 paired with Mr. Sanders.

There was much confus'on and much ill-fee in.: in regard to pairs. Mr, Daniel fail that be hail been paired with Mr. Squire, but ns he was. informed by the s-nab r from Neva-la (Mr. StewartJ that the senator from California (Mr. Stanford) wa in f;ivor of proceeding with business, he would transfer Mr. Squire's pair to Mr. Stanford and wou d himse f vote. Mr. AMrich objected to the proposed, transfer an 1 insted that then? was no authority for it. Mr. Stewart adit itted that he had r.o direct authority to pur Mr. Stanford with a senator in favor of the proposed ru e, but t;iJ that Mr. Stanford had tol I him before leaving the citv for New York that he was in favor of taking up the apportionment bill. Mr. AMrich a-orted, on the contrary, that Mr. Stanford had told him distinctly on several occasions that he wan in favor of the pending resolution and of its consideration, and he (Mr. A'drirlO intimated that the propo-cd tran'far would be taking an unfair a Wantage of Mr. Stanford's abs i ce. The C'-ntrover-v deve loped some acrimonious feeling on both ;.des, but he matter was Fettled by Mr. Daniel saying that if there was any doubt or dispute about it he would let his pair with Mr. S.juire stand, and that wad tho upshot of it Some question also arose as to the pairs of Senators Sioup and Moodv, but the final r-su t was that the pairs stood as follows: Pi-rce an 1 Brown, Piunb and Gibson, P. firew and Pasco, Squire and Daniel, Shouj. ami Co quitt. Sanders and Inra'N, (.'handier and Blod.'ett, Moody and Heart. Digging and Voorhees. Mr. fetandford stan is as not paired. The result was announced as yeas, 31; navs, 3") so the n otion to lay on the table waa rejected. The announcement was greeted with applause on the democratic wide and in tfi g.iilcri -s. Th; wa ns-nted by Mr. Kd i unis, who in-ited that the chair 6hou d enlorc the rulef of the s?nate and that if tht r- wa-1 anv repetition of the disturbance the ir.dleriec should be cleared.

The resohition dr th annpndrapnt of th rul-s having thus been displaced find relegated to the ca'endar as the fort e bill had been previously, th h ni'e pnx-eeded to the dnsideration of the apportionment bill. The reeling of th bill and report ron-inued tiil ;i o'clock and the bill wa-i then laid a -Me till tomorrow at 2 o'clock, when it c mes" up ?.s urdir.ijjhed business. The next question wa on Mr. (iorTnan'n motion to amend the journal of Tuesday lat. It was areel to without diss- nt, an t the journals of Tuesday and 'Wedne-day were am -roved.

After aUrse nuniher of petithna for an and eqmllv larire number against the Conger lard bill was presented by senators, principally from the We-teru Ptatfs; al.o lor and agiinst the Torn?y bankruptcy bill. Among the pension till reported and placed on the calendar was one for Mrs. Mary Ann Dohertv a bill for whepe relief wa vetoei Vy Mr. Cleveland two years Ago, attracting, at the time, iMtch attention; also the iio:i.sc bi! a to p'nion ien. Nathaniel P. Banks and Gen. Franz Sigel, The army appropriation bill was reported and Mr. Allison gave notice that he would ca'l it up this week.

ers, workmen and mechanics arising under the tight-hour law. Pending action on the motion, the senate adjourned. it is au undeniable fact that Senator Aldrich and the republican penator were completely taken by surprise by the action of the eenate today in ' laying aside the cloture r-so ution and taking up the apportionment bill. There was noexpectalion on their part that any important vote would be reai hed today, and at least one republican senator w ho was in the city wa.s tol J that he might pafely leave tho capitol to attend to some departmental busine$s. Consequently he was not present when the decisive votes were taken, and it was with ditliculty that a pair could be arranged forjhim. Senator Stanford is only recorded as absent and unpaired. His vote for the motion to table Seuator WolcoU's motion to take up the apportionment bill would have defeated the motion, as tho re-ulting tie would have called for the casting vote of the vh-e-pre-i lent, without doubt in favor d the continued consideration of the cloture rule, Tho same result would have followed the arranze;i;ent of a pair by Senator Stanford with a democratic penator. The move made today by Senator Wolcott was thoioughly timed from his point of view, for it wag expected that in the course of forty-eight hours at most several republican Kenatorn iin addition to Sen dor Stan-, f'-rd) who are now absent from the city would return, and if ihy declined to pair the result might have been different. The future course of events, according to Mr. Aldrich, wid depend largely upon Senator Stanford, whos- position in reg rd to the cioture ru e. it is expected, wid be definitely ascertained as poon as ho return?. Mr. Aldri. h snvs that if Senator Stanford agrees to support th rule, he will ask the senate to resume its consideration immediately. It is probab e that the opposing forces in the senate wid maintain the fullest possible at ten 'ance of all their memhers from this ti ne forward in order to be prepared to take advantage of any changes in the situati n that accidental or other causes may bring about. The I't)l will tomorrow say: Senators Aldrich and Stewart, wh se statements on the floor of the senate with reference to Scnitor Stanford's posit on wern at total variance with each other, left Washington on the congressional limited train at 5 o'clock this atternoou for New Y'ork to see Senator Stanford who is at tho Windsor hotel. "If Mr. Stan ord agrees to support the c'oture rule," sai l Mr. AMrich, '"l pha'l ask the senate to resuu e its con-idera ion immediately. Of courp?. if he is against it, the opposition has the advantage." The Post says also that the general belief at the caoital is that the cloture resolutin and the elections bill have received tie ir d -ath blow, althoush the senators favonb'e to loth measures will not leave a stone unturned to again seek their reconsideration. Indeed, Senator Spooler began y Merday afternoon to s- e if he could muster sufficient strength to bring up the elections bill again, but his labors are likely to be in vain. Senator Uncock said y- sterday that he regarded the bill as virtually deaL GAVc UP THEIR SKIN

In Ordar That Ona of Telr Number Slight It Ilea e1. SpRiNOFtExn. 0., Jan. 21. Fourteen masons of Clark lodg, No. 101 , F. A. M., of this city, as-embled at th residence of Dr. V. C. Itunyan yesterday afternoon at 4 o'clock and submitted to the operation of havii g taken each trc.m his left arm a portion of skin, which was deftly transferred to the right leg of Dr. Itunyan. Dr. Iiunvan, a prominent d"ntist here, has been a sufferer since childhood from an injury to his left shinbone. Several months ago the doctor contracted a cold, which settled in his weakened leg. An examination by local physicians revealed the fact that a portion of the tibia had become (leadened, a condition called necrosis of the bone. Three weeks ago Drs. Sevs, Buckingham and Paid in performed an operation of chiseling off this dead bone. This h it an ex.-osed surface four inches long bv two inches wide. The sore had been healing nil e v, but in such cases, wdiile a certain soft tissue is formed, nature doe3 not provide a new kin. The tinue is very tender, and is likely to become eas ly inflamed. The sore was too wide to be covered by the skin growing from the sides. It was "thought advisable to try the grafting operation. The matter was broached in the Masonic lodge of w hich Dr. Itunyan is a member on Friday night, and the following men responded: Kdward Harford, Samuel Harford, John Webb.Thomns Lott, Charles Schaefl'- r, O. F. Hypes, William ltamsev, Charles Sykes, Thco. Troupe, Frank Cob-l'-ntz, Joseph Deck, C. D. West, S. J. Lafferty. A small piece of skin the Fize of a finger-nail was cut from the arm near the fch'u der, dipped in a solution of carbolic acid to destroy poss:ble microbes and then placed on the sore eg. It is thought that the doctor will rapidly recover. IS HAMILTON ALIVE? A Oaor Story Frnm tho Wllda of Idaho Abuut Him. Lewistox, Idaoh, Jan. 26. News has been brought in hero by a ranchman named Sanford, that Robert Ray Hamilton, who waa reported to have been drowned in the Snake river, while lmnting last June, ia sdll alive and enjoving good health. Sanford says he learned this from men who worked on the Hamilton-Sargent ranch. From their remarks ho gleaned that there was h cloud upon Hamilton's, life, and he wauled it to appear to the world that he was dead. The corpse of a man who very much resemh ed Jlambton was secured and placed in the river where it was found, and the information given out that he was dead. The laborers said several prominent people wer in the secret; that Hamilton was still living, and that lie had gone either to Australia or Alaska under an aseuuicd name. ACCESSORY TO SUICIDE.

Edith Anderson, the second eldest daughter of the Anderson family, died last night from the effects of morphine administered by the mother yesterday. The other two children are in a precarious condition, and at noon the mother wa eipected todieat anytime. This morning Mr. tieorge, the spiritual medium who told Mr. Anderson that her husband was unfaithful to her, which information caused the tragedy, was arreted. A police otlicer is the complainant, and the complaint alleges that on Jan. 22 thi defendant was accessory before the fact to committing the crime of suicide. The prisoner waived the reading of the complaint and treaded not guilty. Mr. George is well along in f ears and has practiced astroloy for a ong time.

His Republican and Alliance Trade on in Illinois. The South Dakota StruclePolltical News. -Other Topeka, Kas., Jan. 27. W. A. Peffer, editor of the Kansas Fannrr, was nominated on the nineteenth ballot. The vote stood: Peffer, 40; Elder, 30. The caucus adjourned at 1 :15 a. m. Tor-EKA, Kas., Jan. 2U. The Ingalls forces seem more confident than ever tonight. Grand army delegations have been arriving all day, and the city is full of veterans tonight. They are ab working for Mr. Inga Is' re-election. Great activity has prevailed all day at the republican headquarters. Chairman Duchan of thi republican state central committee was seen late this evening by an Associated Press representative. He said: "I have not the slightest doubt as to ti e final reeult. Mr. Ingalls wid be re-elect d. We are having a hard fight, but w e are going to win." Another a'liance caucus on the senatorial question wash-Id tonight. A representa'ive of the Associated Press stationed outride the door counted 04 members, as they passed into tho caucus room. Kvery alliance member was present. The c ucus, as usual, was secret. After the caucus convened sentinels were stationed iu the conidors and no one was permitted to approach the door of the cau -us-room, lest the proceedings might be overheard. Tho windows ot the room open upon an alley ; sentinels were stationed there also. They accompanied every person who entered the a'ley and stayed with him until he departed. Alii ance men arrived from every district today by the hundreds. The alliance of each legislative district sent three men to look after its representative. A system of the most rigid espionage was established, and whenever a member went out he was accompanied by at least one of his brethren. These guards stood over .1 h: .,1 : 41 : J ..f the hotels, accompanied the n on their strolls ahout the street, went to their meals with them, walked with them to the capitol this afternoon when they attended the tessioc of the house, watched the proceedings from the galleries, buttou-hold them after the session and stayed with them until the caucus hour arrived. During the caucus they waited outside the building until the adjournment and then took them to their hotels. This system of espionage was estab ished so as to prevent anv of the members being talked over to the other side and prevent any person bringing pressure to lear upon them. At the caucus-rooms particular precautions were taken that none but members should be allowed to enter. Peside giving the grip and pass-word each member was obliged to show his credential from the epeaker It would have been as easy for an outsider to obtain admission to the caucus as for an uninit ated man to get into a masonic lodge room. On account of the late adjournment of the houe the meeting did not begin until 0 o'cloek. It ia by no means certain that the nomination will be made tonight. A new plan has been in consideration this afternoon, its object being to prevent the opposition from learning the name of the nominee. In the first place, tho "dropono" method of voting wid be followed. The candidate receiving the lowest number of votes on any ono ballot will be dropped from the lit before another is taken. In this way the contest is bound to narrow itself to two candidates. When thU state in the voting ehall bo reached it is proposed to postpone the ballot until tomorrow evening, when another meeting may be held, or possibly until Wednesday noon, when the voting in joint ses-ion will begin. If the latter plan is reached the caucas nominee will will not be known even to the caucas until after the first ballot in joint session. If the nomination is made tne endeavor will be made to keep it secret until tho joint session is made and when the house meets to-morrow the vote will be scattered so as to iHve no hint aa to who tho lucky man may be, The senatorial question bobbed up the firit thing today in the house. Itepreeentative Showalter from Summer county introduced a petition from ho G. A. K. of his county, praying for tho re-election of Senator Ingalis. It was read and ordered placed on the journal. Mr. Showalter moved that the petition be granted the henate concurring. This motion gave rise to much wranpling and Mr. Showalter finally demanded a vote. The motion was finally tabled and the republican filibustering tactics outwitted. The committer on electienp, through Chairman Drumboid, then presented its report on the contested elections cases. The first report was on the case of I.eedy (alliance) against Boyer (rep.) Two " reports were presented. The majority report recommended that the contestant be given the seat. Mr. Drumbold moved the adoption of the report of the majority. The republicans again used every means in their power to produce delavs. The report was finally adopted yeas 91, nays 2:1, a strict party vote. The other contested case was that of Majwell (alliance,) against Itod (republican). The report on the case whs signed only by the alliance members of the committee, it recommended that the contestant b giveu his seat. The minor it y had not had time to prepare a report, said Mr. Pood, and he asked that action on the report be deferred till tomorrow to give him time to prepare the minority's report. The request was not allowed, aa it was a well-known fact that the republicans were using every means to delay the seating of the alliance men, and the report waa

brought to a vote after over an hour's debate. The report was adopted yeas, tW; nays, 22. Mr. Warren introduced a resolution inviting Senator Ingal's to appear before the bouse to-morrow morning and deliver an addreaa on the issues of the day. The chairman put the motion and declared it lost. A resolution was adopted providing that the ballot on enator be taken in the house tomorrow at noon. Tho house adjourned at 7 o'clock.

JL Humored Comb nation Against the World's rr If tha Fores Bill Pasa. Madison, Wis., Jan. 26. A atory has been started here that a combination had been entered into between the democratic members of the legislatures of Wisconsin, Indiana and other Northern states which show the democrats are in the majority to adopt tactics of t-ome of the southern leg islatures and Oppose legislation for world's fair appropriations, if the republi- ' can senators persisted in their support of the federal election bill. Following this came the report this afternoon that the TJ. S. senate had knocked the bill out, but the same was not considered authentic and the gossip was lively after the session was finished tonight. It is rumored that a joint resolu- i tion to express the idea above mentioned has been prepared. A bid will 60on be introduced in the senate to make an appropriation for the Wisconsin exhibit, and many of the democratic members say the talk is strong of beating it if the bill eo obnoxious to Southern democrats passes congress. REPUB ICAN3 MAY WIN. The Alliance Mn .Mir Combine With the Krpi bllcana. Sr-Rixr.FiELD, Id., Jan. 25. A decided censation was caused in the struggle for the U. S. senatorship today when, on the thirty-first ballot in joint Eession, Taubeneck (F. M. P. A.) voted for Palmer (dem.) Cheer after cheer arose from the democratic side, but it was soon learned that Taubeneck had agreed for a joke to exchange votes with Itowand (dem). Tho democratic leaders endeav ored to persuade Rowand not to earn' out thet ade but he d d. and when Ids name was called voted for Streeter, amid laughter from the republican side. The farmers' candidate, Mr. Streeter,w ill have a conference tomorrow with the three F. M. B. A. men, at which will be decided the que-tiou of dropping Streeter and taking up another can didate who might be more acceptable to t othr parties. The farmers would not pay what other man they had in mind. In an interview tonight Meters. Moore and Cockrell both said fa ly they will not at any time support Gen. Palmer. Cockrell had an extended conference this evening with Chairmiu Jones of tho republican stito' central commiiire and Senator. lul!cr of the it'i'iiuiiciui eieeiiwK uuiu.ii.ire. 11c ai positively informed the republicans would not come over to Streeter. Cockreb frankly tod the republicans the F. M. H. A. men would never go for l'anu-r if the republicans would join them it the election of a farmer candidate accep.able to both. The republicans finally he d out hope to Cockrell that perhaps ultimately some compromise candidate mightbe found w ho wou d receive tho solid republican and F. M. B. A. vote. A memorial was today laitf before both houses of the Illinois legislature from the anti-lottery league of Louisuna, cit ng iccent happenings iu North Dakota and saying tho only aertam safeguard for states againt the lottery evil is a constitutional amendment. In die senate the memorial was referred to'the committee on federal relations, and it is understood lhat a joint resolution willsoo be reported requesting the Illinois tamators and representa'ives in congress to vote for submission to the various states of an anti-lottery amendment to th federal constitution. Tho 8utl l(vk..e Fight. . FiEttnir. S. D., Jan. 26. The legislature at noon balloted for U. S. penator with the following result: Moody (rep.), 73; Tripp (dem.), 25; Hardin (ind.1, 21 ; Kylo (iud.), 14; Cross (ind.), 16. The remainder were scattering. On the second ballot Senator Moody lost 2 rotes, getting 71 ; Hardin gained 2, rcceivinr 2U; Tripp lost 1. getting 23. The remainder of the candidates received about the same as on the first ballot. The legislature th n adjourned until tomorrow when balloting will he resuu ed, Th bribery committee was not ready to report today. The Lawrence county contests, one of which wns decided Saturday, were delayed pending a decision of the supreme court on the legality of the election papers issued. On these eases depend tne result of the senatorial contest, as it is a question whether f-ur republicans keep or loose their seats. A urprise party caino thig afternoon, when the matter was reconsidered, by a vote of 61 to 58.

Ogdes, Utah, Jan. 2(. There is no little excitement here over the coming biennial election. The present gentile administration has many enemies, and there is a strong "anti-ring" feeling in the liberal party, and a citizens party has been formed, which ignoree the old party lines and will endeavor to place mormons on its ticket. This new party has secured control of a number of the wards, and at a meeting tonight it Is expected, unless a satisfactory ticket ia nominated, that the Citizens' party will receive many new votes and, by securing the mormon vote, make a close race for tho control of the city.

CUT OFF FROM THE WOULD.

THE EAST CONFINED TO ITSELF. All TelcKrapltie Communication Blocked hj the storm Traea-At ntitir Steamers lcl7d by th Storm Tilkbarro in Darkueaa. New York, Jan. 20 For the first time in the history of the great telegraph and telephone companies which center in this city, they are paralized. Never before have they experienced such complete and absolute havoc. The condition of their lines dining the memorable b izzard was nothing compured with the btate of things telegraphic today. The siorm of vesterdav was bv all odds the worst that the telegraphic companies have ever had to deal with. The sleet storm iu 'SI bad the record for general havoc, because it laid low every w ire be longing to any company in this tow n. Put yesterday's storm w ent further even than that. An idea of what wrecking of lines was done may he gathered from the fact that out of l,5t'0 running out of the city, the Western Union company, has but three wires working this moruing. Tho rest, with the poles that supported them, now lie beside railroad tracks and across fields and are caught iu trees. The postal telegraph company actually had not one wire working out from the city, whibi the Metropolitan telegraph and telephone company roughly estimates, it has not et had time to learn the exact damage, that 2,500 of w ires have been laid low. Tho total damage to the companies mentioned which will result from this conditioned affairs is roughly estimated at $oOO,000. Two weeks' unceasing effort will be required to get the wires back into the condition whi h existed before the storm broke and tore down the poles and wires. Detweeu Philadelphia and Trenton and between that point and New Brunswick the telegraphic equipment is totally wrecked. All along tho line of the Penn sylvania railroa I, w here ran some of the j heaviest trunk lines, the poles and win s j are scattered about on the ground. All i the Eastern wires aredowu between Win iams Bridgs and Stauf rd, and all West ern win s between Williams Bridge and Croon Falls are in the same condition. At Pieasantviile, which is just back of Sing Sing, every wire is down for a distance of two miles. Every one of the company's wires which run along the line of the West Shore railroad is down south of Cornwall. The po'es in the same dircci tion are also iving beside the rail road track. The Western Union wires, which run through Jersey, are piled into small heaps on the Jersey Flats. Not a pole can be seen standing across the Meadows. Reports of that kii.d the company received from employes who came in on tho trains this morning. Toe total nuaitterof wires usually wording to the North and West is 2 0 in all. The company has in the neighborhood of 1,500 wires rendered useless. They cannot bo got into comp.ete working order for two w eeks. In this city tin number of w ires down is roughly estimated at 4,500 and the poles down or broken at 250. In addition to the forest of pok-s that w re 6tre.vn about the street as many were hanging in a dangerous condition. Immense gangs of men were busy removing fie snow and wreck, anil toward afternoou matters begin to assume a more cheerful appearance. A long, thick, heavy veil of niist shut-out from view the Long Island, New Jersey and Staten Island shores, while down the lower bay the mist from yesterday's storm hung like a heavy fog. It was impossible to report any incoming vesse s from Highlands or Sandy Hook. Not only were they not discernible, but the wires had been broken down by the heavy fall of snow and the gale that blew while the storm was in progress. Soon after daylight two big Atlantic steamships loomed up at quarantine encrusted in snow and ice and their shrouds fringed with snow. They were thcTFrench line steamship La Bretagne and the Cunard steamship Auranta. both of these vessels were due yesterday, but owing to the severity of yesterday's storm and the heavy seas that were running they weru compelled to slackeu their pace. The ships were not reported from the Ho"k and their arrival was known only when they readied a position where they could be seen with glasses from the barge office. There was no way r-f communicating with quarantine, as the wires con d not be made to work. Lookouts w ere placed in the tower of tho barge office with g a-es in order to 6ight and report vessels' arrival. Tho wires between this city and Fire Island and Barnegat a so were down and not a ship was reported from either place. As far as could to seen from the barge oflice the bty was strewn with vesse s with their whole canvas spread out to dry. It presented a picture that is rarely seen and atiorded pleasure for many curiosity-seekers. llolls and tangled nets of telegraph, telephone and elctric wires filled Brooklyn's t-treets, causing a damage estimated at $150,U00. Jersey Citv's lire alarm system was rend' reef tireless and the old pystem of a arm towers was resorted to as a protection against tire. The postal teleirraphco'r.pany will take no messages in this city except those of absolute necessity. Boston is now reached bv way of Montreal. In order to reach j California messages will be sent from here to Port Chester, thence to Montreal and to the Pacific coa?t via the Canadian Pacific line. The 6toek exchange was completely cut ofl from all quarters but London, and as no buying orders could get in from Boston, Philadelphia or Chicago, the roiu trailers, w ho are all on the hear side, hammered the market in all directions. Tho only resistance they met was f mm London, but as soon as the buying orders from there were filled, thev had no trouble in depressing stocks. They turned quickly, however, and by buying and selling at short intervals they kept the volume of business up to a resp ctah e figure. Western Union, which will su 'er to a great extent by the storm was forced down j to I, but the bears wera afraid to go heavily short of it and sold only a few hundred shares. The Western Union oiSce at bVJ Broad-st., which handles most of the brokers' out-of-town business was at a standstill. la Ho. tn. Bostox, Jan. 26.

four large poles carrying over 100 wires belonging to the Long Distance telephone company were prostrated. In Waltham, the telephone and fire alarm 6ervicca were badly crippled. Wilkevbarr In Darkneat. "Wilkesbaure, Ta., Jan. 26. The enow etorm of Saturday night end yeaterdiy morning was very severe throughoU' the whole of this section of the state.

Pr'nee Runilnnta of Itrltlitin HllTd to Have Takrn Ilia Oin Litr. Brussels, Jan. 23. Prince Baudouin, nephew of King Leopold and heir to the throne of Belgium is dead. Ho died in this city at 3 o'clock this morning. The cause of bis death is alleged to have been an attack of bronchitis. The death of the prince caused a tremendous sensation and created consternation in all classes in Prussels. There are all sorts of rumors circulating as the public was entirely unaware that the prince was ill. Tho sudden death caused the most alarming rumors to be circulated on all sides, and these rumors grew in report as the day progressed. It was openly asserted that the death of the popular "Belgian prince was a repetition of the sad c.rcumetances surrounding the death of the Archduke Rud lph, the heir to the Austrian throne, who met his death in such a mysterious manner on Jan. ISS'J. It was added that a beautiful German governess, w ho had been recently banished from the Belgian court by ord.-r of King Leopold, had been in some way connected with the death of Prince Baudouin. Rumor also had it that there had been an intrigue lasting a long time between the governess and the prince and the rrsult of their liaison is said to have beeu J he birth of a chid. Hi "any 'case; thc'lleafh of Prince Baudouin is associated with many stories and speculations. The court physicians in the death certificate, announce that Prince Baudouin's dea li was caused by hemorrhage following a severe attack of bronchitis. Hie physicians also assert that the prince cauttht a chid while watching at the bedside of his sdstor, the Princess Henrietta, w ho has been ill for some time past. But these statements are far from convincing the people that the real cause of tho death of Prince Baudouin has been given to the public and the startling rumor.-, already ref rred to are popularly believed to be founded on a solid basis of fact of some description. The bro her of Prince Baudouin, Prince Albert Leopol 1 lent Marie. Mcinrad, w ho was born April S, 1S75, is now heir to the throne of ltelgium. Prince Albert is studying under th direction of a number of tut-.rs in preparation forpassi ig his examinations previous to entering upon a military career. Prince Baudouin LcopoM Phillippe Marie Charles Antonie Joseph Louis was the son of the Count of Flanders, brother of King Iieopold. Prince Baudouin was born in this city on June J, lSo'.i. He was a captain of Belgium carbiniers and a captain of I'russian rivalry, being attached to the Second regiment of Hanoverian dragons. A COLD-BLOODED MURDER. The Wife and Iter I'nraruour Kill an Aged II ubftl. Boston, Jan. 21. There was a mystery surrounding the death of Elbridge G. Keed at Salem, N. II., on Thursday night, and there is but little doubt expressed that the men now confined in the police station In Haverhill Dan Murphy, alias the Masher, and Frank Woods are murderers. The developments of the pat twenty-four hours have shown that there arc good grounds for the statement that the murder was the most brutal of any ever perpetrated in New Hampshire. The motive of the murder, thi police say, lav with the w ife of ihe murdered nutu, who, if not an accomplice to the deed, was, they claim, the instigator of it. This cause was infatuation for Dan Murphy, who has been working in Sa'em during the past reason and whose name lias been freely connected with that of Mrs. Keed by the townspeople. It was evidently a premeditated and carefully planned mean's of netting; the old man out l the way and installing Murphy as master of the farm, as he has often boasted ho soon would be. From the police it is learned that they have evidence that the two men were carried from this city' ia a vagon to the house of Mrs. Reed about ) o'clock on Thursday evening, that Mrs. Reed came to the door and grc ted them, giving Murphy the additional welcome of a kisM ; that sooa a.t r they entered the house, whether from any real cause or merely for one made as a pretext, is not known, Mr. Heed and the two visitors got into a quarrel, in which the former w as choked and beaten and kicked until lie was dead. Ilia body was then dragged into the barn and left, where it waa foun t. The two men and Mrs. Reed have been arrested. a CLAIMS HE WAS HYPNOTIZED. The Strnnco 11 a K -trd by a Vfifo M aril crar.

fin nun ll Against the Passage of the Porce Bill. It Would Shake Liberty's Foundations. A Republican Opinion of the Lodge Measure. No Time Yet Fixed for a Vota in the Senate. ?Ir, Morgan Throws Rather a Llrel Bomb ShelL Washington, Jan. 24. The senate met at 11 in continuation of Thursday's session. There was no prayer, no journal and no morning hour, but there w as a cad of the roll, w hich showed that there were fortyfive senators in attendance exactly a quorum. Mr. Stewart took tho floor to address the senate on the cloture resolution, but yielded to a motion by Mr. Frye for an executive session on the assurance that it would not occupy more than five, or ten minutes. The b gislative secsiop was resumed at 11 :2- when Mr. Mewart took the floor and oflVred the amendaient of which he had given notice on Thursday last It contains three propositions, the first being to strike out ol the proposed rule tho words; "and the que-tion shall be put upon the amendments, if any then pending, and upon the measure in its successive stages, according to the ru!e3 of the senate, but without debate," and to substitute the words ''and debate on pending amendments and such amendments as may be o ered while the measure is under consideration shall be limtei as provided under rule S" ; the second to insert in the sentence providing that no motion shall be in order but a motion to adjourn or take a recess, the words "to recommit with or without instructions, to lay on tho table," etc. ; and the third leing a clause that, pending proceedings under the proposed rule, "rule 17 shall be suspended.' Ru'e 8, referred to in the first proposition, provides an "order of business after the moruing hour, and rule 17 is "that when an amend.: ent proj osed to any pemling measure is laid on the table it shad not carry with it or prejudice such measure." Mr. Stewart said if he understood the force bid correctly its principle, if carried into effect, would bo more prejudicial to human liberty than secession itself, because secession woul I have still retained local governments. But with federal officers to superintend local elections ia every state in the tin:on. there would be no more home rule for America and that ri moved, all was lo.L He repeated, that the propos tion lying at the foundation of the force bill as more dangerous than secession. He went on to argue at length against the constitutionality of the elections bid an I was asked by Mr. Mitchell, how he reconciled his argu m nt with the act of congress providing f r the manner in which U. S. senators are elected. He replied that in regard to the e!ection of senators there wr-s no federal interference, words of approval from democratic senators, and that congress had confined itself, in the set, exclusively within the provisions of the constitution. It had fixed the time and n aimer of election and had left it to the state legislatures to provide how the election should t conducted. It had placed no federal officials over the stat- b gislatures no mar6ha and no supervi-ors. The proposed rule, he said, could not b adot-ted without the violation of all rules and without taking from the floor some senator entitled to it. Thoo who opposed such a proceeding stood by tho precedents of A u. erica for 100 years and by the precedents of Great Britain for o'K) years and those precedents had n-ver been violated, except in one single instance, when they were violated to sun ress the home rule struggle in Ireland. If the rules of the senate were violated and the proposed rule passed, that would be the end of the discussion. The people would be aiarmed. They would ri.-e up and senators would hear a louder voice than they heard in the last election. "Not louder than we hear now," Mr. Hoar suggested in a sarcastic tone. "I am glad," was Mr. Stewart's retort, "that I am able to ppeak so tht the senator from Massa bus t's can hear. I supnovod that lie was entirely deaf to reason laughter. I supposed that his anxiety totrainpleon thergh'-s of the peopla was so intense that lie could hear nothing but polio-men's c ubs anil the clank of chains tola used at e ections." In conclusion, Mr. Stewart appealel to republican n a tors to tstop in iheir mad career b fore they s'epprd over the prtcijice and destroyed their p trtr. At the close t,f Mr. Stewart's speech, Mr. fc-nnders took the floor, but yield-.-d to Mr. Aldrich, who asked unanimous consent, first, to limit tho debate half an hour; then to limit the lentu of speeches 13 one hour, and then to have the vota taken on Monday next; but to each of those requests objection wad made on the tleniocratic side. Mr. Morgan spoke in opposition to the f)rtposed rule. ISome senators, he said, iad mad themselves conspicuous and notorious in uttering calumnies against the SVuith. Hut the outh had not used money in its elections, although a lot of si.ver dol'ars would do much in carrying an election there, because what is it that could net be bought of the republican party in the Smth. But thev had not done it. No such accusation had been brought against the South. But h'w was it on the other side of the lino? What was the meaning of the millions of money contributed antually in the North? What was the meaning of those disgusting ex-pres-ions which had emanated from a republican perhaps a senator aa to "frying the fat" out of manufacturers and as to "blocks of Ave?" What was the meaning of these enormous subscriptions of money made by men and to men (as trustees), who stood at the verv head of the church? What a wonderful development ol modern piety, Banctitv and purity! What ue was to be made of that money ? There could not be a question that it was a corrupt use.
