eck by tho Committee.
Bpecial to the Record-Union.
Birminuiiam (Ala.), Feb. I.—Reports
were current here yesterday of an attack
by white men, at the Galloway mines,.011
the negroes who had been put to work
during tlie recent strike.
Efforts made by telegraph to secure
confirmation of the reports proved futile.
The only answer obtainable was that a
negro had been killed by a white man in
self-defense, and that the reports were in
correct. It seems possible, from later de
velopments, that the correspondents were
intimidated. This morning Colonel
Clark, of the Second Regiment, received
orders from Governor Jones to put fifty
men of the local company under arms
and hold them in readiness to proceed to
Carloton Hill, near the Galloway mines.
In the absence of Colonel Clark, Captain
Randolph Peyton, of the Birmingham
Rifles, assumed command, and twenty
live men from tlie Rifles and a like num
ber from the Volunteers were assembled.
At 4 o'el >ck this afternoon a telegram
•was received from the Governor ordering
them to proceed to Carbon Hill. Not a
word has been heard as to the state of
affairs at I 'iirbon Hill, and no one knows
on what authority the Governor is act
ing. Carbon Hill is in Walker County,
on the Kansas, Memphis and Birming
ham.
SOMETITINO LATER.
The militia, fifty-five strong, composed
of detachments of the Rifles and Volun
teers, Captain Peyton commanding, left
here for Carbon 1 fill at 0:30 this evening.
Their orders were to report there for
duty, and they leit without knowing the
exact nature of the service they were
called on to perform.
Governor Jones is getting some infor
mation from Carbon Hill which is un
known here. The trainmen on the Kan
sas City, Memphis and Birmingham train
just arrived, say that live negroes were
killed up to last night. All was quiet
when they passed, but at Hofse Creek
they beard that rioting had been renewed
since dark.
P__TIOU__BS RECEIVED.
Memphis, Fob. 1. —A Birmingham,
Ala., special says: "Telegraphic advices
inst received from Carbon Hill say that
Will Murray, a white miner, shot and
instantly killed James Cutterry, a well
behaved* negro, last night at Calloway.
The negro lay where he fell until this
moraine, when he was buried. Although
it is not so stated, this appears to be a
continuation of the troubles of Friday
night, when the negroes were attacked iii
their cabins, it is this last development
which caused Governor Jones to send
troops from this city."
ROBERT GALLOWAY TALKS.
Robert Galloway, one of the owners of
the mines at Carbon Hill, said to an As
sociated Press reporter to-night in regard
to the reported troubles at the mines:
•'These outrages are the work of an cle
ment that knows no law, that has terror
ized that part of Walker County for ihe
i >ast three years and have no regard for
uiman litiv The powers of the county
officials seem to lie limited, but the time
has come for the State of Alabama to
crush out this class. That the house in
which the negroes were sleeping is rid
dled with bullets is a fact, and one of them
was wounded in the arm. None were
killed yesterday. Janies Cutterry, negro,
was killed, and one was wounded to-day.
"But this is not ihe first time in the last
few nights that such things have hap
pened in this county, and the guilty par
ties are supposed to be well known." This
last case of lawlessness, while unjustifi
able i.i every way, could have been
brought about by unfortunate circum
stance. On Tuesday a strange white man
was killed near Kldridge, six miles from
Carbon Hill, by a negro. On Wednes
day a negro, employed to hunt up somo
negroes who had formerly worked at the
mines, picked up some strange negroes
a.id took them to Galloway.
"On the way over they got a drink or
two, ami the leader talked in a way to
excite tiio crowd, who took the law in
their own hands with the result as
stuled. The house was raided. They
evidently did not intend to kill any
other negroes, as there were thirty or
forty others quartered within 300 yards
of toe place who were not touched."
THE REPOIIT DENIED.
Loiisvii.i.E. Feb. 1. —A Courier-Jour
nal special from Birmingham, Ala., de
nies tlio reported killing of five negro.s
at Carbon Hill, Ala. It is based on a tele
gram from the telegraph operator, which
was not founded on facts. The whole
story originated in tho killing of one
negro, says the dispatch, and they have
no fear of a race war.
B-Jrfo3_D HERSELF.
An Old Lady Ends Her Life In a Chi
cago Lodglngr-House.
Chicago, Feb. I.—An old lady, perhaps
55 years of age, committed suicide by
hanging herself in a room at 105 South
Sangamon sireet this afternoon.
Mrs. Wentworth, the landlady, stated
last Thursday that the old lady came
there and desired to rent a room. She
was alone and had but little baggage. She
appeared to lie morose and never spoke
much about herself.
A large number of letters and papers
was found in her room. They bore the
. name of Mrs. Catherine Kelly. Two de
crees of divorce and an old marriage cer
tificate were among the papers. Tlie di
vorce decree showed that she had been
separated from two husbands, upon the
same plea—drunkenness and cruelty.
There were a number of other docu
ments, but none giving a clue to the ad
dress of friends or relatives, or why she
took her life.
TAUBEXECK EXONERATED.
Tlio Congressional Committees Will
Decide Atjalnst Rogers.
Springfield, Feb. I.—Representative
Moore, one of the committee who went to
Columbus to investigate the Taubeneck-
Rogers matter, returned to-day. He said
he had nothing to say in regard to the in
vestigation further than it was satisfac
torily proved beyond doubt that Taube
neck and not Rogers was the forger, aud
further that Taubeneck had never been
an inmate of a penitentiary.
The report of the committee will prob
ably be made to the House Tuesday
morning. and will be substantially the
result of evidence produced liefore the
committees, closing with the statement
that the Senate Committee recommends
tlie public exoneration of Taubeneck of
all charge's that had been either published
in the newspapers or made agaiust him
by anyone.
She's StUl Growing.
New York, Feb. I.—There is a young

THE RECORD-UNION.
stopping at the St. Nicholas Hotel with
her father and mother, who is a good deal
higher up in the world than any member
oi the 400. She is Miss Ella Kwing, and
she is a young thing, only 18 years old,
but in that short time she has grown to
some purpose. To-day she is eight feet
tall and has not yet attained her full
measure of inches. Miss Ewing has made
good use other time and is proficient in
the ordinary English branches. She
weighs about 2T*O pounds, but this is not
the mark at which she will tip the scales
when she attains her full growth.
WAS IT AN ACCIDENT?
Death of a New York Heiress from
Morphine Poisoning.
New York, Feb. I.—Miss Helen Potts,
the Ix-autiful and accomplished 20-ycar
old daughter of Geo. H. Potts, a wealthy
railroad and mine owner, who lives at
Ashbury Park, elied sudtlenly this morn
ing in a private boarding-school from
morphine poisoning.
She md been troubled With nervous
ness and insomnia for some time and last
night took a capsule supposed to contain
five grains of quinine anel one grain of
morphine, which had been prescribed by I
Carlyle W. Harris, a medioa! student and
warm friend of herself and family. Soon
after retiring, her room-mate was awak- j
enoel by heavy breathing, and Miss Potts I
was found almost unconscious.
Medical aid'was summoned. She was !
restored by 8 o'clock, and it was thought
she was out of all danger, but when aiu |
again was summoned, a couple of •• hours ■
later at a recurrence of the attacks, ali
efforts were found unavailing, and she
died at 11 o'clock this morning.
There aro several theories as to the
death. A inexperienced prescription
clerk may have substituted morphine for
quinine; a whole grain of morphine!
might have got into otic capsule, or the
giri may have had tho prescription re
newed and died from the cumulative ac
tion of a large number of capsules. A
thorough investigation will be made.

Special to the Record-Union.
Washington, Feb. I—The publication
in a Philadelphia paper of a copy of an
agreement, signed on August _!d last by
a majority of all the Republican members
of the Senate, pledging themselves to vote
at the bi'giiining of this session to take
up the elections bill, and to keep it be
fore the Senate until finally disposed of.
and also to vote for the cloture rule if
necessary to get a vote 011 the elections bill,
lias caused a great de.il of talk among the
members of Congress and others here,
because of Its furnishing absolute proof
j that at least six Republican Senate's vio
lated their word of honor given in the
Conn oi'a written pledge.
The agreement which Teller signed, in
connection with Cameron, Stewart, John
P. Jones ami Washburn, did not bind
them to vote for the eeeti ::is I,ill, bul ii
was in these words: "We will vote, first,
to take up for consideration, ou the first
day of next session, the Federal elections
bill, and to keep it before the Senate, to
the exclusion of all other legislative busi
ness, until it is disposeel of by vote. Sec
ond, to make such provision as to time
> and manner of taking a vote as shall be
decided on by a majority of the Republi
can Senators to be necessary in order to
secure such vote, either by general rule
like that proposeel by Hoar and now
pending before ihe Committee on Rules,
or by a special "rule of the same purport,
applicable only to the elections bill."
Ihe point in this matter is that the
agreement was to secure a vote on the
eh ctiOns bill, and to adopt a rule to thai
enel if the majority of the Republican
Senators so elected. They held a caucus
at Cameron's house anrl did so decide.
They held another caucus at a later date
and agreed specifically to adopt a rule in
accordance with the written agreement
signed last August.
Teller deliberately violated that agree
ment, and his "explanation" was mere
subterfuge.
He apparently trieel to deceive the
country hy the statement that he was op
posed to the elections bill, but ha did not
deny that he signed the agreement
printed in the Philadelphia paper. J
Aldrich was asked about the position
of Stanford, concerning whose pair there
j was some dispute at the time the cloture
I rule was shelve-d.
Aldrich said ho believed himself to
I have had at that time a positive assur
ance from Mr. Stanford lhat be would
w>ie ior the cloture? resolutions and the
elections bill, lie said that he wrote to
the Senator about the matter on that day,
I but as lie bad never had any reply he
I now believed that Stanford Intended to
vote with Stewart and the other oppo
nents of the bills. He had. therefore.
given up any hope of bringing the bill
before the Senate again at this session.

PENSION' CEAIMs.
Secretary Noble Has Adopted a Very
Commendable Course.
Washington, Feb. I.—Secretary Noble
is taking active measures to expedite the
adjuelication of claims in the Pension
Bureau. Particular attention is being
given those cases which are not repre
sented by attorneys and to cases which
for some reason have been in the bureau
for a long time.
In this matter the Secretary is receiving
the earnest co-operation and'assistance of
Commissioner Rimtn.
An examination of the records of
the Pension Bureau discloses the
fact that there are only about 1,200
cases on tile which are not represented by
attorneys. Those will be taken up by
tlie board appointed for the purpose and
proceeded to a final determination. This
board is required to use every e'arethat
could be taken by an attorney, anel to
fully consider and give just weight to
every favorable fact disclosed in the
! record of these cases.
In other words, full and complete jus
tie-e is te> be done in every instance, and
technicalities in the construction or pre
; sentation of these cases arc- not to be taken
advantage of. Claimants are to be as
sisted and not hindered.
These reforms have alreatiy been
started in their course, and it is expected
they will result in gooel to all concerned.
SENATOR SQUIRE'S RETURN.
It Is the Occasion for Con-rratulatlons
From Statesmen.
Washington, Feb. I.—Senator Squire's
re-election from Washington and his re
turn to the Senate was the occasion for
many congratulations from his old col
leagues.
i
Nearly every Senator took occasion to
I congratulate him on his safe return for
six years, and the Vice-President sent
down a pote saying that he wanted to
shake hands with him. Senator Squire
went to Morton, anel for some minutes
discussed the recent events in Washing
ton.
Senator Squire is the first re-elected ,
Senator from the new States to arrive
in Washington, and from present appear
ances is the only one who will arrive at
this session. Mrs. Squire accompanied
him East, but has gone to New York
State to visit her daughters, who are now
at school.
Senator Squire, referring to tbt* charges
that have been made against him in
Washington, says that tho people who so
bitterly oppose him are creating this talk
because tbey are elisappoinieel. Some
of them were so sure thai they had him
ii< I* sated, and expended so much in the
fight, that they now want to smiv.-'i bim.
He says he has votes enough without
buying any.
GAINING GUOCXI).
.Senator ?.lltc-lu.-ll ou tho Oucstton of
Klectlnjr Senators by the People,
Washington, Feb. I.—The Post says
the question of electing Senators by the
people has become a prominent one in
political circles. On the Senate side of
the Capitol the idea has a strong sup
porter in Senator Mitchell of Oregon,
who made a logical and able speech in
favor of it about a year ago. In his
speech ho pointed out that the election of
Senators by the people was considered by
the founders of the < 'overnment, and th it
ill;- election by Legislatures was finally
ado|Jted only as a compromise between
thp appointment of Senators by the Presi
dent on oi-c extreme and their election
by the' people on the other.
Senator Mitchell believes that the
movement will result beneficially to all
concerned, because It looks right for tho
people to be heard directly in tlie election
of Senators.
"li will bring tlio people.-' says Senator
Mitchell, "and the Senate into more ami
cable relations. It will remove preju
dices now existing, and which are last
becoming deeply tastcner] upon tho pub
lic mind. It will invoke the spirit of
mutual forbearance anel respect as !>c
tween the Senate and the people, which,
unfortunately, does not exist to that do
greethat is desirable. It will restore con
fidence. It will dissipate nil ca.ise and
excuse for Unjust criticism. It will tend
to elevate ihe character, advance the dig
ni'y,increase the usefulness, extend the in
fluence and greatly magnify the power of
tlie Senate, and al the same- time promote
tho wenore of all the people of there
public"
AFTER .TTJDG- SAWYKITS PLACE.
Judfro Spencer Supposed to he in
Washington for that Purpose.
Washington, Feb. I.—Judge F. E.
Spencer, of San Jose, arrived in this city
to-night, and at Willard _ Hotel regis
tere from St. Louis.
This fact given rise to the belief among
Californians that Judge Spencer is here
on a political errand, anel wishes to con
ceal his identity for a fewdays if possible.
li is believed that he has an eye on
Judge Sawyer's place, and he has come
here to see tbe President and fix it up so
that he will succeed the Circuit Judge in i
the event of his retirement
Spencer is on the pest of terms with
Senator Stanford, aud some think he wiil
get tho appointment if he wants it,
though it is the genera] opinion here thai
MortOW will be appointed if Sawyer re
lir.-s.
It is understood, though, that Judge
Sawyer does not entertain the suggestion.
Morrow has been offered the attorney
ship of a Nevada silver mine, anel has

15AT) FOR CALIFORNIA.
Public Bu_dl_g Appropriation Pills
May be host.
Washington, Feb. 1.—Speaker Reed
hael promised to recognize Vandover's
motion to-morrow to soeOJB an appropri
ation for the Government building at Los
Angeles bQt unfortunately, owing to the
death of Secretary Wineloin, the House
will not convent! until 2 P. _ when a
■pedal order comes ap, thus shutting out
all possibilities of Vandever's recognition.
The next regular day for such business is
March Bd. Hence it s considered that the
chances are decidedly .-.gainst the Los
Angeles appropriation being made.
it is also said that Speaker Reed hael
promised to recognize Morrow on the
matter of securing an appropriation of
$2,000,000 for a Government building site
at San Francisco, but owing to tlie same
ud fortunate circumstance this may also
go over.
The Californians have been pressing
Reed hard in the matter of local interest,
and while some time ago he had decided
to refuse recognition of matters pertain
ing to Government building appropria
tions, holding to the policy of more ee*on
omy in expenditures of this kind, lie had
consented to give San Francisco anel Lew
Angeles a hearing, which might have raa
terializeel in a very satisfactory way to
Morrow, but for tiie funeral.
A UTAH POSTOFFICE.
Its Rohbory Not Attributable to Gcn
eraJ Klmi.ull.
Washington, Feb. I.—All tho old sol
diers of the Army of the Cumberland
remember General Nathan Kimball who
commanded successively a regiment, a
■brigade anel a division.
Alter the war he went to tlie far West
and engaged in a mining enterprise. He
made a good deal of money and then lost
it. President Harrison appointed him
Postmtstef in Utah Territory about a
year ago. While confined te> nis bed by
illness, the postotftee. which was in charge
bff a deputy, was robbed of £I,_K'.
A bill has been introduced in the pres
ent Congress for the relief of General
Kimball, anel recommended for passage.
It was clearly sheiwn that General Kim
ball was In no way chargeable with
blame in the matter.
California's Court of Appeals.
Washington, Feb. I.—Representative
Morrow said to-night that the bill provid
ing for a Court of Appeals in California is
in great danger of being "lost in the
shuffle." In his judgment as soon as the
House is allowed by filibustering Demo
crats to do business there will bo a gen
era! stampede, and outaitle of the regular
routine appropriation bills there would
be scarcely a lightingchanceforanvthing.
But should the House bill fail the Senate
bill providing for an increase of one on
the bench might run the gauntlet suc
cessfully in that end of the capitol, and if
so tho members in the House would
work very hard to put it through that I
body.
Opposed to the Experiments.
Washington, Feb. I.—The House Ag
ricultural Committee is inclined to dis
allow the usual appropriation of 53,000 for
the Ladies' Silk Culture Society of Cali
fornia. Representative Vandever said
to-night that he would make a strong
effort to have the appropriation made as
usual, but would try and arrange it so
that part of the fund could be used in
Southern California, where, in his judg
ment, the climate anel other conditions
are more favorable to silk culture. The
members of the Agricultural Committee
insist that the experiments so far have
developed nothing to warrant the con
tinuation of such appropriations.

It has transpired that tho insurgents

A British Trading Vessel ls Seized hy
Vciie^m-ians.
New Yobk. Feb. 1. —Tho British
steamer Andes, Captain Evans, from
Trinidad, January •_4tli, arrived here to
elay, bringing as passengers the Captain
and a crew of ten men of the British bark
l.ydia Pcschan, which was seized bythe
Venezuelan Government on Oe-tober isth.'
The Captain reports that, being sick
and unconscious, he was taken ashore in
a small tishing vessel, to a hospital at
Trinidad, and that while the bark was
beating around in charge of the mate she
became short of water and put into Mar
garita is land, and before anchoring sent
a boat ashore asking for water.
About fifty soldiers, rowed out in small
boats, eight of whom were sent aboard
the bark. They took the mate and se-conel
male ashore, and kept them there. leaving
no on,e on board who could take the vessel
to sea. Tiny supplied the hark with foenl
and treated the men generally well, but
stripped the vessels of its sails and took
the Captain's clothes, watch and jowelrv.
< hi November t_b the Captain chartered
the steamer Muriel to go to Margarita
Island anil low the bark up, but when
they reached the island tho author
ities refused togivothc vessel up, offering
no cause whatever.
On the lfith all the sailors were sent to
Laguayra, to the British Consul. On the
:_d the Captain again visited the vessel*
in accordance with orders from the Gov- !
ernor of Trinidad and the Venezuelan
Consul there. But they still refused to
give up the vessel.
The English Governor then ordered
the Captain to proceed to Xew York, as
it would take at least three months to
settle the matter. The bark was bound
from Wilmington, X. C, to Trinidad,
with yellow pine lumber.
IT'S A BONANZA.
The Brazilian Marke-t Open to United
■states Proeluets.
"VVashinc-ton, Feb. I.—The Bureau of
American Republics has reeeivcel a letter
from a merchant in Brazil, as follows:
"Almost everything made in America
is good for this country. Glassware is
wanted badly, particularly big tumblers,
water sets anel small liquor glasses,
knives anel forks of all kinds, tinware,
hardware, tools, notions and every kind
of cotton, sheeting, prints aiul* cheap
light weight woolen goeids. In fact I can
only sa3* that I do not know what to sell
—paper and stationery of every kinei,
varnishes, felt shoes, woodenware, gloves
or blank books. We recently had the
largest shipment of manufactures from
tin* l.'nitod States ever landed here, and,
till hough the prices' charged were out
rageous, they met with wonderfully
quick sales.
"Lamps which sold in Xew York
for 85 cents sold here for $-"{ net, and I dis
posed of two in a couple of days. Were I
in business in New York instead of Rio
jde Janeiro I would do a big trade
throughout all the provinces of Brazil, it
e.nly wants some of New Ye.rk's whole
sale firms to go for this market, and be
fore long our people would regularly
send there for aU their supplies.
"Blame's reciprocity idea will lead to
increased business with the Cnited
States. It is a splendid notion, anel if
Blame can carry it out, both countries
will have a good deal to thank him for."
DRDX'T TELL ALL.
Professor Koch's Description of His
Lymph was Purposely Incomplete.
Berlin, Feb. I.—Professor Koch, who
is about to start for Egypt, gave a fare
well reception to his laboratory assistants
to-day.
The Professor says he will probably be
absent from Berlin about three months.
He explains that he has only partially
disclosed the method of the production of
the curative lymph because he desired to
stop the rush of doctors to Berlin. If he
had described the method of manufacture
more fully, he says, he would have been
more worried about the details.
Great discontent prevails regarding the
published account of tho method of man
ufacturing the lymph.
They made numberless attempts topro
due-e lymph but they find that "Professor
Koch's description is totally inadequate
to enable them to make it.
TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE.
' Story of One of the Survivors of tho
Schooner Sailors' Dome.
j St. Johns (N. F.), Feb. I.—The follow
ing account of the loss of the schooner
Sailors' Home, while on a voyage from
Sydney to St. Pierre, is given by mate
Elford :
"1 was at the helm on December 2d,
when a heavy soa broko over tho ship,
Washing me overboard, but, fortunately,
1 esnght the boom tackle, and on the next
lurch of the schooner was laneleel again
on the Vessel's dec-k. The same sea broke
into her pinnacle, and destroyed the oom-
i asses. The- Captain took the whe*cl, anel
left below lo change my clothes. When
I came on deck again a tremendous sea
broke over the ship, carrying overboard
the Captain, the cook ami the wheel.
"Xot seeing anyone on deck 1 thought I
was the only one left on board. The next
moment, however. I noticeel the cook,
Benjamin Miles, clinging to one'of its
stern davits which was hanging in the
water. I threw him a rope which he
grabbed, bnt I could not haul him on
hoard. Alter a while he became
exhausted and let go. There was no sign i
of the Captain, whatever.
"I next found, that two other members
of the crew had saved themselves by
clinging to the rigging.
"Monday Highland all day Tuesday we
were busy trying lo get the water out of
the vessel, but "the pumps got choked.
About midnight Tuesday the vessel
struck broadside .against "a cliff. Then
one of us jumped ashore. The vessel
went oil' with the sea, but was again hove
against the cliff, when another ol' the
crew jumped ashore. The vessel was
again carried oil with the waves, anel
again came in with another wave, strik
ing the cliff for the third time, when I
succeeded in jumping to a crag.
"The space on the rock to which we
were clinging was so small that we hael
to hold on to each other to keep from
slipping down. The cliff was partially
covereel with ice, anel it was extremely
cold and snowing till the time. The
schooner bounde-el off a short distance,
capsized and sank. Next morning we
commene-eel Irving to get further up the
precipice, but being weak and cold, made
slow progress, and elid not reach the top
until 4 p. m., and managed to reach a
fisherman's hut, where we remained for
the night."

WILL HURRY MATTERS,
REPUBLICAXS WILL LEAVE NOTH
ING FOX AX EXTUA SESSION.
The Appropriation Bills Will be Acted
Upon Before any Other Legisla
tion Is Touched.
Special to the Record-Union.
Washington, Feb. I.—Tho Senate is
shaping its business with a firm deter
mination to aeljourn on March Ith
without leaving behind it anything for an
extra session.
This steering of the Republican major
ity has already arranged a programme
that would of itself occupy tho attention
of tho Senate for two weeks. This
arrangement, however, is not final as it
must be formally approved bythe Repub
lican caucus and is, besides, subject to
interruption in its work ing bythe appro
i priation bill.
The fortification appropriation bill
conies up to-morrow as untinisheel busi
ness and ihe pension appropriation bills
with tho calendar. The flistrict of Colum
bia appropriation bill, soon to be
reported, will follow in order.
In the morning hours an effort \vill be
made to pass the Indian depredation
claims bill, and, sandwiched in between
the above-named appropriation bills, will
probably be the eight-hour bill anel the
copyright bill. An attempt is also being
made ip secure action upon the House
bankruptcy bill.
OTiri-U T,Ee; I STATION excluded.
Although tho House has been engaged
practically the whole ol" the past weeli in
the consideration of the regular annual
appropriation bills, these measures ana
still in an unusually backward state, and
it is the intention of the majority to per
mit substantially no legislation, except
the shipping bill, to engage their atten
tion until the scene of action on the ap
propriations is very generally transferred
from the House to the Senate wing of the
Capitol.
It is the purpose of the Committee on
Merchant Marine to make an effort to call
up the shipping bid anel press it to a final
vote as soon as the Consular anel diplo
matic appropriation bill (now under con
sideration) is passeel; but, in view of the
determined opposition heretofore made
to tho shipping bill, there is some ques
tion as to the ability of its friends to carry
out their expresse-ei intention, especially
as it is almost certain to be antagemized
by one or more of the appropriation bills.
'fhe Indian, legislative, executive anel
judicial appropriation bills are on the
calendar awaiting action, and will be
called up at tho first favorable oppor
tunity.
THE SILVER BILL.
Bland anel other silver men are growing
more restive at the failure of tho Coinage
Committee to act on the silver bill, and
have announced their determination, if
the committee does not settle tho matter
at the regular meeting Wednesday, to
precipitate a tight on the floor of the
House, without waiting for a committee
report.
Only four weeks and three clays remain
of the Fitly-first Congress, and heit one of
the thirteen annual appropriation bills
have been finally passed by both branches
of Congress and sent to the President.
But one of these bills has passed the Sen
ate—the army bill.
While the present condition of the ap
propriation bills is not encouraging as
compared with their progress in pre
vious Congresses, no doubt is enter
tained by tho members of the House or
Senate of the ability of Congress to com
plete its necessity legislation before the
4th of March.

LOOKS DUBIOUS.
Friends of the Shtpplne Bill Not Feel
liiU Very .Jubilant.
Washington, Feb. I.—The friends of
tho shipping bill are not feeling iv the
best of humor over its prospects. In
spite of the air of ultimate success which
they assume when interviewed on the
subject, it is clear that they have but little
hope ol passing their bill this session.
Representative Farquhar. who has
charge of the bill, said to-elay that he
thought the bill would come up Thurs
day as untir.isheel business.
"I had a talk with Cannon Tuesday,'*
he said, "and he said nothing about op
posing this bill. I am going to talk
with some of the opponents on
the other side of the Houso
and see if some agreement cannot
bo made regarding the time for closing
the debate and taking a vote. I see no
necessity for the Committee on Rules to
bring in any special orders. Special
orders always provoke debate and much
valuable time is therefore lost. I believe
we can tlisp<ise of the shipping bill with
out any special orders."
it* prcsentative Cannon said to-day
that he had not known what the House
| would do on Thursday. "It may bo,"
said he, "that the shipping bills are to be
called up, but there are several important
opposition bills that ought to be e*>nsid
ered, aud perhaps tho House will give *•
preference to them."
