Ho Went tin Duly In an Iulnxlrntcd Cnnillllnn nutl Vinn IMucol Untlcr Arrril A court-muitinl to inquire into tho conduct of Lieutenant P. J. Worlioh of tho United Slates ship Philadelphia was hold at Maro Island on Docombor 23d. Bays the S. F. Call. Tho court was composed of Captain H. C. Coch rnno of the United Stites Marino CorpB, judge advocate; mombers of the court, Captain T. F. Kano of tho Monterey, Lieutenant T S. Pholps of tho Philadelphia, Liou tenant J. B. Milton of tho Mon terey, Lieutenant C. Fox of tho Philadelphia, Lieutenant W. E. Wilnor of tho Philadelphia, Lieu tenant F. E. Groen of tho Ranger, Lioutonant W. R. Rooney of the Monterey and ono other officer of tho Monterey. The Philadelphia arrived from Pugot Sound ports at an early hour on December 21st. It did not lake tho news of tho lioute uant's diflgraco long to spread, and soon half of tho water front was nwuro of tho fact. The sailors sided with thoir officer and hoped he would bo exonerated by tho board. Tho broach of dfsoiphne wag a flagrant ono, howevor, and tho other officers said fhnt Admi ral Beardsloy was thoroughly in dignant over the matter. At Port Townwond, Tacoma, Seuttlo and Olympiu, Worlioh was leprimnnd ed, but it did not do him any good apparently, as his final full onrao later on. It appears that while tho Phi ladelphia was at beattle, Liouto nunt Worlioh was given u ton days' leavo of absonco. He had a jolly time ashore, and the night beforo ho was to report for duty his friends gave him u dinner. The lieutenant looked upon the wine when it was red and ha fell. Ho drunk heavily all night and in the morning tripd to braco up on oooktaiJT Tho eyperimont was n disastrous ono, as it mado him worse than evor. When he readi ed the warship ho was in no con dition to go on duty, but ho mado tho nttompt and in consequence was arrested und charged with being "drunk while on duty.1' Lieutenant-Commander R. R. lngorsoll was very loth to talk about tho unfortunate affair. As to tho merits of tho case ho would say nothing but hopod that "Werlich might bo exonerated. Ho doniotl omphntically a story to tho effect that tho lieutonaut had had a woman aboard tho cruiser at improper hours. "Lioutonant "Werlich had lady visitors on recoptiou days, just tho samo as the other officers," siad tho commander, "but his conduct on thnso occasions was always thst of an olficor und a gentleman. There is only ono ohargo against Worlioh uud that was his failing." Lieutenant P. J. Worlioh is about 36 yoars of ago and graduat ed from tho Auuapolis Naval Academy in 1871. Sevoral yoars moo ho was married to Miss Mac- Coney of Washington, 1). 0., aud when ho was ordered to this coast his wifo followed him. Mrs. Worlioh has just undergone u severo surgical operation and the nows of her husband's troubles will come as a faovere shook to hor. Werlich is not confined to his room, bat ho remains there from choice and will boo no one. Ho is n very handsome man and an idonl-looking officer. At the oourtmurtial Lieutenant Werlich made no defeuso, simply ploading guilty. Tho sentonco of tho court waB forwarded to Ad- mirul Boardrtleo for approval nnd by him to the Secretary of tho Navy, but thuponulty inilictul is unknown.

The llouso today responded to tho appeal of tho President by passing a tuifl'bill, tho operation of which is limited to two and a half years and which is designed to raiso S40.000.000 for tho roliofof tho Tronsury. Tho bond will bo pas Bod tomorrow. Tho voto today wus on party lines, with two excoptions. Tbo Republicans all voted for tho bill, excopt Ilurtmau of Montana, who did not voto, and the Demo crats and Populists against it, save Newlnnds (Pop.) of Ncvuda, who votod in favor of the moasoro Tho special ordor under ,wbich tho bill uus brought to a voto at 5 o'clock, after thieo nnd one-half hours of debate, was ironclad in its charnctor and compelled tho members to adopt or lejoct it with out an opportunity of offering amendments of any kind. Al though theio was tho brilliant spoeoh puking that usually ac companies u field day in' tho House, tho debate lacked much of the spirit and vim which general ly characterizes a partisan bill in tho lowor branch of Congress. Evon tho preliminary skiimish over tho adoption of the rule, nhioh ordinarily precipitates tho fiercest wrangliug, pnnsed off quietly. Tho dubuto itself was partici pated in by tho loaders on both sides. The Republicans contend ed that tho first utcoscity for the Treasury was revenue to bupply the continued deficiency. Evory speakor donied that tho proposed measuro was a Republican pro tection bill. It was, they claimed, an omergoucv revonuo bill on protection lines. It was signifi cant that sovoial notably Mr. Dalzoll, Mr. Payno, Mr. Hopkins and Mr. Grosvonor predicted tho passage of a genuino protective moasuro ns soon as tho Republicans gained control of the White Houso. Tho Domoorats took tbo position that thoro was no lack of revenuo in tho Treasu ry, and that tho passing of a bill to increase taxation would in no wise help tho situation, nor fur nish tho roliof desired by the President and Societary of tho Treasury. Tho bill passed today repeals the present tariff luw uutil August 1, 1896. It rostores 60 por cent, of the McKinloy rates on wool and woolons, lnmber and carptts, and makes a horizont-.l incroose of tho present ratos in all other schedules, except sugar, of 15 per eout. when tho bill wus put upon its possngo it was paused by 205 to 81, tho voto being takon by ayos and noes, demonstration of i'hero was no any kind ut the annotincomont of tho voto l tub Jlmlc Ulml. Washington D. C, Doc. 21. The constitution for tho Statn of Utah which wus submitted to tho Attorney. General by tho Presi dent, has beon examined and ap proved by that officer.
