MR. DALZELL'S PROi'EST The administration, continued Mr. Dal- zcll, opiiOsed the bill becni.se it wanted nothing but gold bonds and to deal with foreign syndicates.

The fad that a week ago yesterday the Bouse committees were appointed, and under the rules privileged questions referred for consideration must be reiorted with in that length of time, caused considerable interest to be manifested in the fate of the Bayard impeachment resolution, the proposition to recognize the Cuban insur gents as belligerents, and otlierslmilar mat ters' wlik li had gone to the Committee on Fjjrpign Relations. As a consequence of this feeling, when Mr. Hilt appeared in the center aisle and addressed the chair, after the final disposal of the bond bill, numbers and spectators alike, remained to learn what conclusions had been reached by thecommittee.

COMMITTEE WAS DIVIDED Mr. Hltt said the action of the committee was unanimous so far as tie first three subjects -were concerned. Tlie resolution regarding Cuba had hem modified so as to make it simply a formal request for the Consular and Diplomatic Corresiwiidence learing upon the uprising of Cuban patriots. ao reiereuce was made to their recog nition ns belligerents. Thu.risolution in ltgaid to Ambassador Bayard's alleged utterances reflecting upon the American people was also paved down to one of formal inteirogatiou. All ref erence to impeachment or censure was elim inated. Mr. Illtt said the report of the commit tee in litis instance was not unanimous, and Mr. MeCreary staled that he dissented rrom the conclusions and action of his associates. The various amendments were agreed to without debate and the four resolutions adopted without division. ANOTHER SERVANT IN JAlC More of Mra. Colman's Property Brought to Lifjht.

The reception ten ilered to Teter Maher at Madi'on Square Garden tonight developed Into one of the greatest demonstrations seen in connection with pugilism since the- d.is of John L. Sullivan. When the regular program opened with a tatr punching competition soon after 8 o'clock every seat in the great amphi theater was fille-d and the greatest en thusiasm prevailed. The hag proved too lively for the first few punchers, but when the experts took a hand they soon reduced it to submission. Jimmy Handler of Newark showed all his customary cleverness and a little more and proved an easy vvlnuerof the competition. Kid McCoy was second. The boxing bouts were Tor the most part exhibitions or the tamest pattern, and were between Danny McBride and Jack Grace or New York; Martin Joceaud P.Cronin of Brooklyn, and Harry Woods of San Fran cisco anil Charlie Miner of New York.

When there was nobody in tlie office the plunderers quickly slipped Into the place, and finding the eloor of the safe conveniently open, began ransacking its contents.
