MADBID, Dec. 17. Mr. Taylor. the United States minister, today hud an important conference with Senor Groizard, minister f r foreigi affairs, relative to the Imposition cf excessive duties upon imports into Cuba from the United Suite., lie informed the Senor that he had been directed l.y his government to inform the government of Spain that if it persisted in exacting these discriminating duties, the action could bo regarded by the president only as inviting the exerci.se by him of the. power of retaliation conferred by the act of IS90. This threat has caused a commotion in ministerial circles. A Cnnse for the Tip.' WASHINGTON. I). C. Dec. 17. The action of thes täte department, indicated in the cablegram from Madrid in warning the Spanish government of its intention to resort to retaliation should Spain continue its present policy with respect to American exports to Cuba, will doubtless have the effect to bring at once to a focus the long drawn cut negotiations which have been in progress, with results very unsatisfactory to our own government. None of our foreign relations have of late given us as mu'ii trouble a? those with Spain. Kor several years this government has been urging the 'claims of American exporters for restitution of heavy fines and excessive tariff taxes amounting to about 5,000,000. These taxes and tint's were imposed by the Cuban customs officers in direct violation of all treaties and absolutely without nny other warrant than existing necessity f"r funds. The Spanish government practically admitted the justice of our thimä, but failed to mik-3 restitution. Then there was the old Mora claim a gain -t Spain a veteran of many year.' already admitted by the Spanish government, but impossible of collection. Ilffort3 hive been nude to get the first class of claims before an arbitration, but these efforts have so far failed because of the insistence of the Spani-h government that the Mora claim already decided in our favor should be included Li miners submitted to the tribunal.. And while these matters were languishing under the delays peculiar to Spanish dipl -macy there followed the last action by the Sptnish government which promises to precipitate a tariff war unless Spain comes to terms. This was the imposition of th? maximum tariff cn American exports to Cuba, probably in retaliation for the cancellation of tha reciprocity agreement entered Into under the terms of the McKinley act. The Spanish government has two tariff schedules one th? minimum tariff, permitted to countries with which Spain is upon amicable trade relations, the other the. maximum tariff, Imposed upon countries which do not yield to Spanish demands in the matter of dues. The maximum tariff being imposed upon American exparts hid the effect to almost altogether cut them off and so exactly fulfilled its purp ose. We had supplied for years the Spanish West Indies with flour, but the duty upjn this product was prohibitory. To mike the altuition more unbeirable the Canidians were favored with the minimum tariff, and in an incredibly short space of time assumed the entire flour trad -3 with Cuba, which had so long been enjoyed by our own millers. Having reasoned in vain with the Spanish foreign office. Secretary Gresham, in casting about for a remedy, hit upon the act of Aug. 30, 1S50. This act, whiie primarily intended to provide for the inspection of meats for export and prevent the Importation of harmful articles of food, also included in its fifth section a grant of power to the president probably unequaled In extent by any legislation In the history of carigress. Plainly stated, it authorized an actual embargo to be declared at the discretion of the president. The secretary of state has refrained from the assertion of the power of retaliation conferred by this law as long as there wa3 reasonable expectation that the Spanish government would yield to ordinary methods of diplomacy. He was induced to do so from consideration of the great difficulties, that government was having in meeting the demands of the Cuban sugar planters and merchants who are represented by our consular agents in Cub to be In most deplorable financial straits, and also because of the difficulties that It has experienced in reorganizing the cabinet as the result of the latest upheaval. Hut our commerce is being menaced in a new quarter, namely In Germany, where the government has begun the Imposition of a system of most gal'.ir.g restrictions upon American Imports that can scarcely be longer tolerated, and it Is felt to be necessary to begin th? assertion of the reserve power of retaliation lodged In the president, and, of course, this necessitates the beginning with Spain, the first offender.

JOED

DROWSED IN A BATH TUB.

The Sudden Denth of William A. Peelle, Jr., Occur. William A. Peelle, Jr., ex-chlef of the bureau of state statistics, met death yesterday by drowning in a bath tub at the new Visitors' home, a flnei hotel just built by the Sifters of Providence outside St. Mary's institute, five miles west of Ttvre Haute. The accident occurred about 4 o'clock in the afternoon. The peculiar means of death first suggested suicide, but investigation by Coroner Payne disclosed the fact that It was purely accidental. Mr. l'evlle was to open and take charge of the hotel and with Is wife went there from this city for that purpose last Friday, intending to open it next Monday. He had been In poor health ef late. He started to tike a bath in the new bath rooms. He had been in the room some timo when Mr. Peelle went to assist him in dressing. She could get no answer at the door and becoming alarmed she called for assistance. The dxr wis forced open and Mr. Peelle was found dead stretched out in the bath tub. In the excitement no effort at resuscitation was made. He was lying partially on his right fide with Ms left arm beneath his body and his right arm pinioned to t.ae side of the tub bv tha weight of the body. The tub was but half filled with water, making it very easy fur him to have prevented drowning by a slight struggle. The doctors think Mr. Peelle wxs drowned in attempting to turn the weight of his body around. They think that In doing so th? weight of his body Ml on his arms, and being weak, from sickness, he could rot extricite himself. The remains will be brought to this city today. William A. Peelle, jr., was born in Wayne county, Indiana, In ISP". While still a lad his f;ther moved to Winchester, Randolph county, where young Peelle took a position in a dry goods store as clerk, lie remained there for several years. He was a mere kid when the war broke out, but before it cl-jsed he put in eighteen months of service for his country. He wis in the commissary department at Nashville. Twin. He returned to Winchester at the close of the war and remained until 1ST4. when he came to this city. He was appointed deputy secretary of -state and served two terms und.-r Secretary Neff and was again appointed by the Hon. J. G. Shanklin when the latter was elected in 1S7S. He was assistant clerk of the legislature In 1SX1 and was afterward elected chief of the bureau of statistics, an office which the legislature gave him three times successively. The office was afterward made elective by the people and in 1890 Mr. Peelle was elected and a short time ago completed his second term. When Mr. reelle was. succeeded by Mr. Thompson a ftw weeks ago he mi le a businessd'al which required his re.siden.ee at St. Mary's in Vigo county, anl about ten days ago he removed, with his family, id that place. Mr. Petlle was a brother of Stanton J. Pe-il . judge ef the U-.iteJ States court of appeals at Washington. Mr. Peelle's record in iha state house is a remarkable one. In all he spent a little over sixteen years there, during ten of whi -h he was it ihe hea l of the bureau of statistics. A"hn he went into the office in 18S1 the statistical department of the state government amounted to nothing more than a soft snap for a favorite of the party which controlled the legislature. Bat by hard work and a cartful study of tiie advances made in this line in oiher states Mr. Peelle was able to bring the department up to a favorable comparison with other states. If it fell short of other states in some respects it surpassed th-m in others anil would doubtless have excelled in all had it received appropriations from the legislature sufficiently large to carry on the work. Mr. Peelle was well known and liked by all who knew him. He always associated largely with young men, and although quite gray had a youthful appearance which bolie-d his forty-nine years of ace. Until his removal to St. Mary's, after 1'is retirement from office. Mr. Peelle resided with his family at 277 K. New York-st. Only two weeks more to get Dainty Work. See our offer on another page.

The police have never since he was first arrested entertained a doubt of the identity of the man, but his calm demeanor and his cool anl positive denials that ho was not Seeley had begun to make them anxious to secure somebody who could say definitely whether he was or was not the man wanted. Messengers were sent to all the banks in the city this morning in the effort to secure .somebody who had known Seeley and could identify him.

When the office:;, cifered to send for anybody in this city or elsewhere who could identify him as Frank J.

He mill not give the name cf any person in any other p.ort of the country who would identify him as Dale. When he male this declaration he was informed by Inspector Shea that the police knew him to be Sctliy, and there was no further necessity of talking ever th? matter. lie would bo he-Id until the arrival of the officers from New York, and under no circumstances would ho hi released until they had seen him. After being toll this Seeley was taken below and locked up. He stood the Confinement for a!out an hour, and at 11 o'clj.k he sent word to Inspector Shea and Lieut. Haas that lie would iike to s.ce the;n for an interview. Ten minutes later he confessed he was the man they had said he was and stated he wa.s anxious for them to hurry the arrangements to take Lim back to New York. He was trembling and filled with nervous excitement when brought to the inspector's private office. Inspector Phea, Lieut. Haas, Detective AlmenJinger and a number of newspaper m. n weie present when he wxs brouea: in. The inspector asked him what he wanted. "All I want to say is, gentlemen, that yoa have the right m in. There is r. j use of my attempting to conceal it any longer. I am Samuel C. Seelöy and I am the nun wanted ia New York." Nothing more was said until the prisoner spoke again and said he was ready to go back to New York as soon as the oiTloer3 could arrange ir. He said further that he would mike no effort to gain his release from the Chicago officers, and did not want an attorney, but preferred to wait until he re.ich?d New York, where he could consult his own attorney. United States Marshal Arnold was notified by telegraph this afternoon that federal officers 3nd representatives of the bank had started for Chicago. Seeley will alio be held under United States process. Tha marshal promptly took out a warrant fur tho arrest of Seeley. No c.nfliet between tho fctate and federal ofiioers is expected IacPurIn nd"s Part. H. E. McFarland, the young man whose information led to Seeley's arrest, was slow In following up his conquest today. Although anxiously awaited by the authorities, he bad not rut in an appearance up to noon, and no one knows where he Is. Seelty's action in Involuntarily confessing his identity to a passing acquaintance, after having displayed euch rematkable keenness in eluding arrest, was the cau.se of much speculation. MacFarland had said that Seeley met him on the street, invited him to the races, and after several days' companionship had calmly informed him that he was Samuel C. Seeley, wanted in New York for aiding in the theft of $254,000. The police were inclined to the belief that MucFarland's story might be subject to variations. It was believed by many of the de- j tectives that the informant was an old ac- ! qunintanee of the fugitive and that the allurements of $5,000 reward had got the better of his friendship. On this subject, 1 however, Seley was as Filent as a clam, and the officers were ff reed to be content ' with speculation pending the appearance of young MacFarland. Whatever evidence, if any, had been j found at 4 LaSalle-ave., the fashionable boarding house at which Seeley was' arrested, the police refused to say. It was known that no papers of Importance and , a solitary $100 bill were found on his person, and it was not thought that any ; Incriminating evidence had been dis- j covered in his room. J During the afternoon MacFarland put , In an appearance at detective headquarters. He was apparently laboring under a rather heavy burden of Intoxicants, and his conversation was not particularly lucid. He was able, however, to make his hearers understand that he was ho: after thit $5.0u0 reward and that he Intended to have it all. He would, he declared, divide with no one. After making something of a scene at headquarters, MacFarland left, but returned eeveral times during the afternoon and made numerous demands for the reward. Detectives who were sent out to look up the Informer's record reported that he had for a week been boasting to his friends thit he knev where to lind Seeley. MacFarland, according to the officers. Is an ardent admirer of the flowing bowl, and many of his acquaintances siy that ho frequently during the last week, while intoxicated, had declared that he would soon clear $5,000 by a clever bit of detective work. MacFarland is a rather good-looking man, perhaps twenty-five years old. dresses well, though flashily, and Is said to freaueut tho race track. Owing to his

condition today the officers were unable to learn anything regarding his acquaintance with Seeley. j Seeley Plead Guilty. ! NEW YORK, Dec. 17.-Samuel C.

Blixt, the self-confessed murderer of Catherine Ging, was arraigned in the district court today and in a weak voice pie id 3d not guilty. The state had rather expected a plea cf guilty and asked Blixt if he understood what he wa3 doing. He said hi did and the pl?a was entered, lt. R. Odell appeared for him, Hlixt having refused to see the attorneys appointed by the court to undertake his case. The case was set for trial Jan. 23. Iilixt was a picture of misery In court and seemed pcarcely able to stand. Tha cases against the two Haywards in the municipal court were formally dismis-d this morning, the grand Jury having taken action. When Blixt eni-rd the plea of not guilty County Attorney Nye was taken much aback. Mr. Nye was forced to face the probability of the trial of the ca3e where he had expected a plea of guilty. The defense will ba on, the plea of temporary Insanity, brought on by the use of alcoholic stimulants given by Hayward for the purpose of provoking the deed. Mr. Odell cliim3 to have medical testimony which will beir out thl3 theory. His past history shows that whisky arfc-cts him so as to make him temporarily Insane, he claims. An afternoon pap;r say?: "The latest development in the Ging murder case Is the. discovery of evidence that leads the authorities to believe that Harry Hayward is the western agent of a green good combination, whose headquarters are at New York, with a prlnclpil branch at Chicago. The mmey which Catherine Ging obtained from Hayward Just previous to. her death will be shown to have been a portion or the green goods which passed into her possession from Hayward, who afterward found it necessary O put his victim out of the way to prevent exposure. The authorities do not claim that this was the main cause of Mis3 Glng's murder, but it was a factor which counted." Next Saturday morntng Harry T. Hayward will plead to the indictment charging him with th murder of Citherine Ging. This afternoon Sheriff Ege and a deputy went over to St. Taul to bring with them H?rry Hayward In order that he might make his plea. The offlciils took their prisoner from the Ramsay county Jail, and. without irons, boarded a car to bring him to the Hennepin county court house. All the way over he was airy and flippant. He Joked with his captors and appeared in the very best of spirits. No one on the way over suspected that ha was a prisoner accused of a capital crime. At 5 o'clock the trio reached the court room. The clerk and Judee IIick3 were sent for and court was opened. Sheriff Ege motioned Haywarl to th? bar and he glanced at the clerk with a slight neer as that official bfgan reading the indictment which chirged h on with murder ia ths first degree for aiding, abetting, counselling, commanding, procuring and hiring Claus A. Blixt to kill Ca.theln Gtr.g. , T7, r a ftw moments, only he paid attention, then he turned and looked at the little crowd of attorneys and eyed the crowd with evident interest. Never once did he quail. "What Is your plea guilty or not guilty?" asked the clerk. "If the court please," broke in his attorney, "we would ask until Saturday morning at 10 o'clock." That wis all. The prisoner had not said a word. He turned from the bar and donned h's overcoat, and the little party loft the jail. The prisoner was then lodged in the county Joil in a cage directly below thit occupied by P.lixt, his accomplice, and apparently In the best of spirits, ordered his supper sent to him as soon as it was ready.

AN AUTOMATIC GALLOWS. cvr Machine for the Exeentlon of John Cronln. HARTFORD, Conn., Dec. 18. John Crcnin wa3 hanged at 1:0'J a. m. John Cronin's crime w-as the murder of Albert Skiner at South Windsor, Oct. C, 1S93. The execution of Cronin was especially Interesting, being the first hanging in this state under the law pa.sed by the list general assembly, and the first trial of an autjmatie gallows in the Ea-st. ThU last is the Idea of Warden Woodbridge. Aided by James II. Rabbett, a foreigner, nr.w serving a two and a half years sentenee, the warden evolved what he considers an improvement on the hanging machine in usi in Colorado. Small shot has been, substituted for water in the operation of the lever which releases the weight and an arrangement made whereby the execution may be stayed at any moment. The comp.irtment In which the shot are ocrfined resembles an hour glass, and the mechanism employed Ls under the warden's control. The shot was started in motion by tho movement of a lever, and another lever would have enabled the warden to have stopped it at any time. The progress of the shot and the approach lag moment when the weight would be released Li indicated, on a dial resembling a clock. There was also an arrangement by which th? execution could be effected at once. When Cronin had been seated in ; the chair and nude fast a signal from the ! executioner indicated to the man who had ; charge of the lever that he was ready. The machinery was then set in motion, j The adjustment of the machine was mide so perfect that the weight of 308 pounds ' made na perceptible noise as it was re- ' leased and fell to the ground beneath. Instantaneously the victim was Jerked into the air, filling backward to within two feet of the floor. The rope used was five eights of an Inch in size, of hemp, and tested to sustain a weight of 4,000 pounds. The machine was first tested July SI. when a bag of sand weighing 103 pounds was used with entire success. Other tests were made at various times. One of the principal improvements over the Colorado appliance Is the fact that the prisoner i3 not his own executioner. With the original machine, whsn the prisoner was placed on the chair it released a lever which started the mechanicUmi, and in thi3 way the man was practically forced to commit suicide.

Pnsenger on n Train- Jlnrdered by Aiegro Tonghs. COUNCIL- BLUFFS. Ia., Dec. 16. At 11 o'clock today a tragedy was enacted in the private office of the Citizens' state bank of Council Bluffs, which may result fatally for three persons. John Huntington, assistant bookkeeper and collection clork, shot C W. Cromwell of Minneapolis and F. H. Hayden cf Chicago, representatives of the Fidelity and casualty company of New York, and then emptied his revolver into hU own brain, inflicting a wound from which he died two hours later. Cromwell anl Hayden, it is thought, will recover. Huntington was one of the best known men in Council Bluffs and numbered his friends by the hundred. So far as can be learned he had no bad habits and this is what makes his act tho harder to explain. On the 20th of lat July a check for $500 was turned over to him by Ira F. Hendricks, one of the employes of the bank, in trie regular routine of business. Huntington charged up the check to the Union stock yards national bank cf South Omaha and from that day to thia nothing whatever has been seen or heard of it. The day following Huntington left for a vacation trip of several weeks to New York City. The bank officials kept thinking the check w.ouIi turn up sooner or later and deferred any action. As time passed on and it became evident that the bank was out 5500, they sent a message to the Fidelity and casually company notifying it of the fact and suggesting thai, inspectors cume on at once and make an investigation. The bank officials claim th3t at th? time they had no charges to make against Huntington or any employe of the bank. All of their employes were blinded in the Fidelity and they preferred that the Fidelity company should make the investigation rather than make it themselves. Messrs. Cromwell and Hayden arrived in the city last Friday and took rooms at the Grand hotel. They cross-examined each of the bank employes through whose hand3 the missing cheek had passed and among the rest Huntington. They claimed to have discovered that he had been spending more, money than his salary of $45 a month, which he was receiving, would warrant, and on this, together with the fact that the check had been lust seen in his hands, they based as their suspicions. Huntington and the representatives of the Fidelity company met Saturday night and made arrangements for another meeting at the bank Sunday morning, wlien the investigation was to be resumed. At the hour appointed they were together and Cromwell and Hayden commenced to put the your.g man through a running crossliro of questions. President J. D. Edmundson and Cashier C. R. Hannan of the bank were present during most of the interview. The conference had not been in progress for more than fifteen minu'es when Huntington rose from his chair, pulled a revolver and commenced firing at the representatives of th? Fidelity company. The revolver he used was a 4S-caliber, that belonged to the bank and had been kept in the desk of G. F. Spooner, the paying teller. The first three shot? were fired at Cromwell, who had taken the lead in the interrogation, and all three took effect. The fourth struck Hayden, and then Huntington raised the weapon to his own head and fined. He fell to the floor unconscious and remained so until his death at 1:10 p. m. The two wounded men ran out of the bank down First-ave. and into the Grand hotel, blood dripping from them at every step. They were taken to th?ir rooms and Dr. Donald MacRae, jr.. was summoned. He found that one of the bullets had taken effect in Cromwell's back. Just to the right of the spine. It was found about four inches below the surface and extracted. The second bullet struck in the left side of his cheek, plowed Its way around the right side cf his neck and came to a stop after Just missing the carotid artery. The third struck him in the right wrist, he having thrown up his hand to strike the revolver out of Huntington's hand. It broke one of the bones of the forearm clear in two and imbedded itseif in the bone, almost severing it. When the ball was taken out It was cut almost in two from the pointed end down. Cromwell will probably lose the use of hLs right hand on account of a stiffening of the wrist Joint, as the result of the fracture of the bones. Hayden fared better. The bullet struck him in the neck and after passing around about a quarter of the way, emerged and 'imbedded itself in a panel of the door, where it was afterward found. His wound is not considered of a serious nature, but a variation of half an inch would have killed him. The bullet that took Huntington's life, entered the skull just behind the ear and lodged back of the right eye, where it3 presence was shown by a discoloration of the lid. His having the weapon in his possession showed he had planned it all out beforehand and his coolness, in the face of the terrible deed he was meditating. Is surprising, all of the men who were present at the interview testifying that they had not the slightest idea anything out of the ordinary run of things was thought of by the young man. The parents of young Huntington were at once summoned. The aged mother was beside herself with grief. The death of their son was affliction enough, but the honest old people appeared to be grieved more that their son should have committed the two ciimcs of robbing his employers and then attempting to commit murder.

Bowen's funeral will take plaei in the morning. The grand jury will begin an investigation at the same time and fix the blame for the death. Governor Foster was seen this evening and asked for an expression of his opinion of the so-called glove contests in the light of the tragic outcome of the LavingeBowcn fight. The governor expressed himself as firmly opposed to such exhibitions. He said: "I have always been very positive and emphatic In my opposition to the glove contests as carried on In New Orleans by professional prize fighters. I regard it as a brutal exhibition, tending to demoralize public sentiment and in no wdse calculated to elevate the tone of public morals in the com- ( munity. When the effort was made to ' have the Corbett-Mitchell fight take place in New Orleans I determined to exhaust all the power of the state to prevent it, and so declared at the time. Subsequent to this th? right of athletic clubs to have such exhibitions was taken into court and Is still pending. I urged in my mesaga to tho legislature the pissing of a law declaring glove contests of this kind a criminal offense, and several bills were ! introduced to that end, but for some j reason no bill was passed. ' "The unfortunate termination of the Bavinge-Bowen contest accentuates the Importance of prohibiting any such further exhibitions. A sound, healthy public sentiment has outlawed the exhibitions In almost every state in the union, and I believe the great body of the people of this ptate are unquestionably opposed to making Louisiana, and especially New Or- , leans, the scene of such brutal contests."

WASHINGTON, Dec. 12. Senator Gray made an unsuccessful attempt to hive considered in the senate todty the bill reported from the fin i nee committee striking out all tha deferential duty in favor of refined sugar and leaving all sugar dutiable at 40 per cent. ?. i valorem. There were a greit many absentees, to that the defeu vas n -t so decisive as to discourage further efforts of the same kind. The majority vote of ten against taking up tho cloture resolution, which was follr.ved. lndicv.es, it is believed, the Improhabllity ct changing the ruK-s at this session. Mr. Morgan again addressed tha senate on the Nicaragua bill, and in concluding expressed h's intention of soon asking that unanimous consent be givea fixing a time for a vote on the bill. There was but a small attendance In thft senate today. On motion of Mr. Allen, the senata passed, with an amendment, the house bill amending sec. 3 of the ac cf March 2, 3 SS, withdrawing certain public lands from private entry. Mr. Piatt then addressed the senat briefly on the bill introduced by Mr. Berry to establish the territory of Indiano'.a from the lands now occupied by the five civilized tribss. He said that something must be done to change the governmental conditions In the Indim territory. At the conclusion of Mr. Tiatt's speech the bill was referred to the committee on Indian affairs. Mr. Pugh presented the credentials of Senator John T. Morgan, elected by tha Alabama legislature for a term of sir yea is from March 4. lft'.'S. Th? .resolution of Mr. Higglns, calling for the correspondence relating to Offers of mediation by this government between China and Japan, was then passed. On nmion if Mr. Call, the senate took up the resolution heretof ore offered by him, authorizing the appointment cf a committee to inquire and report whether tha Louisiana --r Honduras lottery company has been established and is now operating in Florida. The senate then proceeded to the consideration cf pur.skn bills of the calendar. Among ih'ise passed wer bills granting pensions of J10 per mmth to Mary Palmar Banks, widow of Maj.-Gen. Nathaniel P. Uinks. Mrs. Katharine Todd Crittenden and to Maj.-Gen. A. MeClernand. Senator Cray Loses. There was a general air of expectancy about the senate when the hour of 2 o'clock arrived on account of the prevailing impression that there would be an effort to displace the unfinished business, which, was the Nicaragua cai.al bill, with the bill changing the duty on sugar to 43 per cent, ad valorem flat. This expectation was realized when Mr. Gray took the floor and stated that he had no desire to delay consideration of the canil bill, but he considered the tariff bills of greater importance, and he thought the senata should have an opportunity to say whether these bills should be considered. He had hoped that a vote would b? reached on these bills without obstruction. It was tha duty of the senate to meet the challenge Implied In these bills. II did not think the discussion of the bills -would occasion any great delay. He therefore moved to displace the Nicaragua caral bill with tha sugar bill. Senator Morgan stated that while lie favored the sugar bill he should be compelled to vote against Its consideration at tho present time owing to the fact that he hid been placed in charge of the Nicaragua canal bill. The bill, as it came from the house and as it was amended by the senate finance committee, wa-s then read, after which Senator Berry demanded the yeas, and nays on the question of considerr.ti.on. Senator Harris, in an effort to enlighten the senile, stated that the pending question woul 1 be on the committee amendment in case the vote on consideration should result in the affirmative. Senator Aldrich objected to debate, saying "the pending question may b- something else." There was much shifting of pairs while the vote was proceeding an1 no little delay in the announcement of the resultWhen the announcement did come it showed the defeat of Mr. Gray's motion by a vote of 23 to 27, the vote in detail being as follows: Ytas Bate, Berry, Blackburn, Caffery, Oockn.ll.
