Representative Benton McMillan, of Ten. aessee, says that the opinion expressed in ' lome quarters that the House Committee jn Ways and Means, of which he is a mem ber, will hold back the tariff bill when it reaohes the Houso from the Senate is an en- lire misconception of the purposes of his associates. "We will act upon the bill,1 laid he, "when it reaohos us, as promptly as posslbla and will give the House an oppor : tunlty to discuss It, and if it reachos, us in ' season the people will havo an opportunity to understand fully the differences betweon ' the two Houses on that subject." "We are of the opinion," said Mr. Mc Millan, "that the Democratic party Is in . better heart and in better condition than it has ever been after suffering a defeat. Wherever the tariff question was thor oughly discussed there we made (rains, even ' In the supposed strongholds of protection. Had as much attention been given to the tariff question in the rural districts as was the case in the cities, the result might have been different. It will be the issue from this day on until it wins, and then its op . ponents will have to give up the fisrht, as they did from 1852 to 1860, only to renew it again in a new guise." ..: There is a strong probability that when the nominations of Commodores Belknap ; and Harmony are sent to thn Senate there I . will pe irouDie aouun uunr uuuiiriuuuuu ) n There will not be a vacancy until March 25, tne uate oi tne rebireiuenii ui Aumirau uuuu, and there are a number of officers who con tend that previous to that date no nomina tions should be sent in because there are no vacancies. , The politicians of the Paciflo coast are not very favorably disposed to' ward Commodore Belknap because he ran the Mare Island yard independently of their wishes. There is no doubt they will do all they can to defeat bis nomination, but nary people believe be will eventually be con firmed. A The Oklahoma Uoomers, 1 Wichita, Kan., Deo. 31. An enthusiastic? meeting of Oklahoma boomers from towns of Southern Kansas was held here Batur- davatthe headquarters of "Pawnee Bill." . It was decided to start February 1, as by that time It would be known what action - Congress would take on the Springer bill. An address to the Government and people as to their plans and purposes was ordered oublished. "Pawnee BUI" produced 5,000 letters of inquiry from all over the United ' States, and said that the companies now have enrolled ovor 15,000 people who will be ' read v to move at the date named. All will meet at Oklahoma City and proceed upon the country in a body. Advices from the Territory are that an engagement took place Saturday between a party of Texas settlers and scouts of the cattlemen. Five of the former and four of the latter were injured, but the boomers were not stopped. ' Death of a Nervy Urakeman, ; Richmond, Vs., Deo. 31. Edward Cam v den, a young brakeman on the Norfolk & , Western railroad, while engaged In coupling cars, slipped and two wheels passed over both thighs, crushing them to a jelly. To extricate him both wheels had to be run - over his body again. Then, before he was '.. got out, four cifl-s broke loose from the train . and ran over his mangled limbs. He was - fully conscious all the time and did not make a err of pain or a complaint ' When he was at last got out, he quietly removed a chew ANOTHER STEAMER BURNED. The Passengers on she Bristol, of the Old Colony Line. Hare a Marrow Escape from Cremation The Vessel Proves Total Loss, j Newport, & L, Deo. 81. The steamer Bristol, of the Old Colony line, which arrived from New York about 2:30 o'clock Sunday morning, was found to be on fire at 6:20 a. m, and in a short time was destroyed. No one wag injured, though a few Newport passen gers who had remained in their state-rooms to await a convenient hour for rising, had narrow escapes, and some of them lost all their clothing. Allthe baggage, however, was saved. Tbe steamer's freight had also been landed before the fire broke out. The Fall River and Boston passengers had all departed, tbe last train leaving just as the alarm was given. The lire started near tho kitchen ana spread very rapidly. The fire department of Newport, together with the police force, exerted themselves In every possible way to check the tlames, but the joiuer work of the state-rooms, saloon and stairways was as dry as tinder, and draughts through the steamer caused a fearfully rapid spread of the flames, so that be'oro tho city Are de partment, arrived there was a mass of lira sweeping her almost from stem to stern. Some of the passengers still on board ma not understand the meaning of tho first alarm, and were only aroused by the crack ing of the flames near by. All succeeded la escaping, but some with only a portion of their clothing. One man with two little children; who occupied astato-room. was awakened by the sound of crackling Hamas and baroly escaped with his little ones uiw dressod, but with their clothing In his hands. All of the personal baggage of the passen gers was saved. Who:, the steamers arnvoa the upper decks and center of the stoumer wore a mass of flames, which gave out such In tense heat as to greatly impede the work of the firemen. The flames had gained such headway that they could only be fought from the wharf, while the flying sparks en dangered buildings on the docks and other vessols in the vicinity. A dozen streams were soon pouring into the flames with lit la apparent effect for over an hour, while other streams were thrown upon surrounding property. The steamer Pilgrim, which was In tho greatest danger, was witri some aiin- culty gotten safely out of the range of the flames and was kept drenched with streams of water from her own apparatus. In the slip to the north lay the freight steamer City of New Bedford, which also bad to be kept constantly drenched, and even then did take fire about noon, but the flames were extinguished before serious damage was done. Shortly before eight o'clock the flames wore under such control as to permit a few firemen to board the steamer aud work from outsido the guards of the lower and second decks. At 8 : 15 tho port hog-frame fell in and soon after tbe port smokestack fell and the starboard side fell about noon. Two firemen were injured. The crew lost all their clothing. General Manager Kendrick states that the insurance of $300,000 on the Bristol will probably cover the loss. The boat was twenty-two years old, but had been partial- ly rebuilt and was one of the finest inland steamers afloat. The company nas several other steamers and traffic will not be inter rupted. Steamer Burned at Her Dock. Nbw York, Deo. 81. The harbor Are boats and several city engines were sum moned lost evening to extinguish a fire in ihe bold of the steamer Mexico, which was ' ' anohored off Dey street In the North river. The Mexloo arrived Saturday from Havana with a cargo of hemp and tobacco. Tbe fire was discovered early in tne evening, ine crew tried to quench it without assistance, and it had thus made great headwoy in the inflammable cargo before a general alarm was sent out. Half a dozen firemen were overcome by smoke while fighting the fire, but all will recover. It was finally found impossible to save the cargo and in order to save the vessel the cargo was flooded, thus ruining any part of it that bad escaped the flames. Tbe amount of loss can not be, learned at present. Arrested for Killing Her Husband. Cleveland, O., Doc. 81. Leonard Wetzel died Friday afternoon from the supposed effects of an assault made by highwaymen on Detroit street. An autopsy was held and it was discovered that be had been shot in the abdomen. Detectives were put to work on tbe case and Saturday night ar rested his wife, charging her with marder ing her husband. She told several conflict ing stories about a revolver owned by Wet. zel which gave the officers a clue. Wetzel owned considerable real estate. He and his wife though living in the same house quarreled constantly and each cooked food in separate rooms. Wetzel drank hard and squandered every cent he could get for liquor, leaving his wife at times without money to purchase necessities. JOKING JOURNALISTS. Great Excitement Canied Among- Mex' eane by a sensational Story Auoat as All-led Uprising- Against the Govern, ment. . El Paso, Tex., Doc 81. Newspapers "pub lished in Chihuahua, Mexico, December 2$ and received here Saturday, contained thrilling accounts of an alleged Popish up rising in the City of Mexico. The story, io brief, was that tho priests in the City oi Mexico, angered at the alleged unfavorable attitude and policy of the Diaz government towards the churoh, headed an insurrection for the purpose of overthrowing the gov ernment and won over to their side 19,003 government troops', that President Diaz lei the loyal troops aguinjt tho insurgents anc aftor a bloody battle completely route, thorn, and that 237 priosls were immediately Huot aud about as niaoy more bad been con demned to death. This gory narrative pur ported to have beou received by the Chi huahua papers by wire from the City o 'Mexico. Upon investigation tho torrlble tale turn, out to have been a hoax pcrpotrated by the Chihuahua papers upon thoir readers. De cember 23 is All Innocents' duy, and is cele brated in Mexico the sum i as April 1 in the United States. The brilliant journalistic mind at Chihuahua evolved the plan oi manufacturing and publishing bogus dis patches and the Innocents were duly deluded thereby. Intelligent Mexican citizens of Juarez pronounce the Chihuahua perform ance a silly and discreditable piece of work. Moreover the right of tbe press to manu facture "sensational news" vlllifylng, ridi culing, or misrepresenting the government is not yet bo fully recognized in Mexico as in the United States, and it is hinted that the perpetrators of the Chihuahua canard will be called to account by the Mexican government in some way. DISPIjiaw ELECTIONS. All Kinds of Fraud Charged ', the Contestants by t For Beats In the Honse of Representatives of the Fifty-first Congress Narrow . Majorities Cauite Several ' Contests.: CHOKED OFF. Mrs. Lucy Parsons Attempts to Make en Incendiary Speech Before a Socialistic Meeting-, but is Suppressed by the Chair, man. Chioago, Deo. 31. About 400 people, or as many as could crowd into Waverly Hall, at tended a meeting of tbe Socialistic Labor party, called for the transaction of business and the promotion of Socialistic doctrines. Mrs. Lucy Parsons was present and made her speech in the same ball which they closed against her a week ago. Inspector Bonfield's men were In the hall in citizens1 dress, but did not interfere with the pro ceedings. A resolution was adopted unanl mously imploring the aid of the press and citizens generally to the end that tbe hum blest citizen as well as the politician may enjoy all the rights guaranteed by the Dec laration of Independence and the Constitu- tion of the United States, Tommy Morgan, a local leader of the Socialists, made a very conservative speech containing many statements to which Mrs. Parsons took exception. She said she could not sit quietly and hear it stated that those who are dead and silent in their tombs had anything to do with the throwing of the Haymarkot bomb, though in the war against tyrants all things are justifiable. She predicted that before peace sould be bad in a society like that in this country rivers of blood would have to run. When she got to 'this point the chairman inter rupted her and said time was up. Shot His Wife ami Suicided. New York, Deo. 81. Joseph Bolomon, aged forty-seven, a traveling broker In laces and linens, shot and fatally wounded his wife, aged twenty-nine, and then shot him self dead in the street In front of their resi dence, 111 East Ninetieth street, Sunday evening. Bolomon was a drinking man, a violent temper and was ex- THS SBATS IN DISPUTE, Washington, Deo. 31. Up to this time only one notice of contest has been filed in tho office of the clerk o ' the House. This is tho case of Hartsuff asainst Whiting, the latter buitig the sitting Democratic member of the Seventh Michigan district. There are twenty-iue counts in his indictment, and he charges that votes were cast at wrong places; that alions voted without restraint; that Illegal registration was common, and that persons were compelled to vote the Democratic ticket under threats of personal injury. Mr. Hartsuff lays particular stress upon what he calls the "corruption fund." This Includes a contribution of $2,500 from the National Democratic Committee, tl 000 given by Mr. Whiting personally, and be tween t2,S00 and $'1,000 assessed the Federal employes.--Tho latter, Mr. Hartsuff claims, were particularly pornicious In their efforts in Mr. Whiting's behalf. Quite a number of the cases arise out of tho narrow majorities received by some of the successful candidates. Such is the foundation of the contest made by Sydney E. Mudd" against Representative Barnes Compton, of the Fifth Maryland district, whose majority has been placed as low as one vote. In the Fourth New Jersey dis trict Samuel Fowler, Democrat, was elected by only seventy-two votes, and N. W. voor hues will try to overcome this by contest. CongretaTKan Shlvoly, Democrat, of Indi ana, was returned by a still sma ier majorl ty less than forty rotes and William A. Hoyne, bis Republican rival, will endeavor to secure the seat. As compared with these efforts to overrun a few votes, the contest of T. B. Eaton, a Republican, of Memphis, to oust Congressman James Pbolan, seems quite herculean. Mr. Phelan rocaivod 8 000 majority. Cnarges of Traua will also do matia oy r . B. Posey, a Republican who was defeated by William F. Parrett in the First Indiana district. For the first time in many years a contested election case is reported from Connecticut, where in the Fourth district Edward R. Seymour, Domocrat, will en deavor to unseat Fred R. Mills, Republican. William Elliott, of Beaufort, 8. C, brother of the Episcopal clergyman here, who had a contested cane on his hands during this Con gress, Is again to experience the same trouble. Other cases whlob will excite Interest are those of T. G. Phelps, Republican, against Thomas J. Clunie, Democrat, in the Fifth California district, and Jehu Baker, who defeated "Bill" Morrison and who in turn succumbed to W. S. Forman. Judge Wad dill, of Richmond, Va., will contest with George D. Wise the honor of representing the Third Virginia district. He charges fraud and illegal voting.
