OF TRIED COURAGE
Ribot Will Yet save
France.
NO RECORD OF TIMIDITY.
If He Is Not Great, He May Yet Be Great
Enough for His Oppor
tunity.
Fpeclt! to Thb Mobnint. Call.
Nkw Yoek, J«n. 10.— Smalley cables to
the Tribune from Paris: The crisis has taken
an unexpected turn, and there is a new
Ministry. It is still a Eibot Ministry, but
with some very important changes. The
resignation snd reconstruction of th Cabi
net was a well-kept 'secret. It was known
to note dy this morning outside of the Gov
ernment. It certainly was not known at
the best informed embassy in Paris, an
embassy which has reasons of its own for
learning at tie ea:liest moment whatever
concerns, as this does, the French Foreign
Office. No morning paver had suggested
this obvious way out of the difficulties, or
out of some of the difficulties, which beset
the situation. Everything is obvious after
it Happened. The story was first pro
claimed in an evening paper, which signal
iz<s itself most often by a steadfast ab
stinence from truth, and so complete was
the surprise that the first remark on every
eide was that it was a "eocarde," which is
now good French for a canard. Presently
it became two that, although it had ap
peared in the Cocarde, it was true, anl the
liveliest conjectures were heard on all sides.
But the true explanation is the simplest.
The alternative which lay before the Cabi
net was collective resignation or the politi
cal execution of at least one of its members,
and probably two of there. It was thought
best that everybody should resign, Ribot
Included. De Freyciuet was saved the other
day only by the intervention of President
Cai lot, and it was known that even Carnot
could not rescue him permanently from the
consequences of bis own fault. Panama
lies behind him. It is the end of the bril
liant if not of the great career which De
Freycinet lias long hoped would end in the
Presidency. It is also a real misfortune for
France. She has nut had so competent a
Minister since Carnot organized victory for
tin- first republic. As Prime Minister, as
Foreign Minister, and in many anotcer high
office. Freycinet has shown great capacity
enough to see that he could net touch
Panama without being defiled.
Ribot's first act in forming the new Cabi
net is to appoint himself Minister of the In
terior. That is at least an act of courage,
and courage is to-day Invaluable. If Ribot
be not an ideal Minister for anxious time?,
not a Coastans, he at least has no record of
timidities, vacillations and uncertain tem
per behind him, like the estimable Loubet.
FLOQUET BEATEN.
An Unexpected Turn in the Chamber
of Deputies.
Paris, Jan. 10.— The Ministry lias just
resigned, owing to difficulties in the Cabi
net over the arrest yesterday of ex-Minis
ter of Public Works uhut ann other mat
ters.
People throng the streets and the greatest
excitement prevails. The police are out in
force Lisperslng tiie crowds.
President Caroos has charged Ribot with
tbe duty of forming a new Cabinet.
It i; undent* cd that llibot will retain the
office of Premier, but will exchange the
Ministry if Foreign Affairs for Ministry of
the Interior. It, is also reported that Lou
bet, Minister of the Interior, and De Frey
cir.pt, Minister of War, will probably not
be found in the reconstructed Cabinet.
It is opeuly charged that Ribot and Car
not were not in earnest In the Panama
prosecutions, and have no intention of bring
ing tbe bribe-takers to trial, and that (he
prosecution of Do Lsssaps, Fontane, Cottu
nn>] E ffel will be nothing more than a
farce. It is also charged that efforts are
being made to i osticne the exposure of cer
tain guilty partial until tne law of proscrip
tion has taken effect.
Although the resignation of the Ministry
cause. l widespread excitement, there was
do attempt to create disorder. The order
prevailing throughout the city, in fact, may
be nrd no doubt is due to the fact that the
lawless element well knows that any dis
turbance will be put down with a strong
band by the military.
The recess of the Chamber of Deputies
en;led to-day and the Boom resumed its
silting.*. After the usual formalities of the
opening wero complied with, Floquet was
presented for re-election to the presidency
of .he Chamber. This evoked a somewhat
unexpected and vehement opposition, and
Fit quet withdrew his candidacy. The Re
publican group then nominated M. Cnsimir
Perier, and tie was elected by a majority of
IK*
During the proceedings in the Chamber a
group of thirteen men, proclaiming them
selves tnarchist?, gathered in front cf the
building, and refusing to move on when
ordered by the police, were arrested.
The new Cabinet organized by Ribct is:
Ribot, Premier and Minister of the In
terior; Develle, Minister of Foreign Af
fairs ; Tirard, Minister of Finance ;
Bourgeois, Mlni-icr of Justice; Loizillon,
Minister of War; Burdeau, Minister of
the Colonies and Marine; Dupuy, Minister
ol Public Instruction; Viger, Minister of
Agriculture; Siegfried, Miulster of Com
merce; Vie tie. Minister of Public Work?.
At 11 o'clock this evening it is learned
that M. Burdean has refused the Ministry
of the Marine, end tbe portfolio will prob
ably be offered to Admiral Gervais.
In the Senate to-day Chairman Thery
made a violent attack upon the religious
policy of the Government. His speech
arc-used vigorous protests from the Govern
ment supporters. M. Leroyer was re
elected president of the Senate.
GRAY HAIRS DISHONORED.
Judgment by Default Against Count
de Lesseps.
Paris, Jan. 10.— Count de Lesseps has
delivered to the authorities a book giving
the key to the cipher in which was written
the account of the expenditures ot the
Panama canal directory. The revelations i
which it yielded are described as terrific.
It is declared, indeed, that the exposures
thus fnr made In connection with the Pan
ama canal are as nothing compared with
what is now at band.
Ferdinand de Lessen, although absent on
account of the state of his health, was in
cluded to-day as one of the defendants with
Charles de Lesseps, Fontane, Cottu and
Eiffel, and accused of complicity in tbe Pan
ama canal frauds.
The name of Count Ferdinand de Lesseps
was called amid profound silence. After a
short pause the physician's certificate that
the Count was physically unable to be pres
ent wa3 submitted to the court. The Pro
cureur-Gcneral asked nevertheless that
judgment by default be given, and the court
granted the motion.
The trial proper was opened in the first
chamber of th« Court of Cassation, as the
Court of Appeals is called, Perlvier presid
ing. Procureur-Genural Tanon conducted
the prosecution.
Advocate-General Pan Is assisting Tanon
In the prosecution. Maitres Barboux, Wal
beck Rousseau and Bu Bait are among
the counsel for accused, Maitre Barboux
acting for both Ferdinand and Charles de
Les c <
Charles de Lesseps looked firm and cast
Ms eyes around in a confident manner. A
medical certificate was submitted to the
effect that Ferdinand dt Lesseps was not in
condition to be ptrsent,
• The President first began the examination
' harles de Lessens. In reply to the
President's questions no said against his

advice his father had undertaken trie con
struction of the Panama canal.- The Presi
dent reproached the witness for having
misled the public by announcing that Iler
sent and Gouvreux had undertaken to con
struct the canal for 512,000.000 francs. To
this De Lesseps replied that the arrange
ment with Uersent and Gouvri'tiX was not
exactly a contract of that kind. It was
rather scucht to arrange a price per meter
than fix the total of cubic me:ers to bo
excavated.
Charles de Lesseps made a lone state
ment as to the organization of the Panama
company. His father, he acknowledged,
had sold his founder's shares in the canal,
but not for the purpose of withdrawing
money from the enterprise. In every case
Count de Lettepa had turned such
shares into money merely that he ruielit
subscribe for the new Issue. On the whole.
Count de Lessens had invested more
money In the enterprise than he had with
drawn.
The prisoner was then questioned closely
as to the relations of the American Panama
con-.mittee to the company. He said that
12.f00.000 francs had been plnced at the dis
posal of the American committee and used
by it for the best Interests of the com
pany.
When asked if this sum was not large for
the purpose for which it was applied, he
said, "Their assistance was valuable, and
they could have arranged for the expendi
ture of a still larger sum."
The prosecuting counsel asked several ques
tions intended to draw out that the feasibil
ity of tie canal plan was doubted by the
directors before the last loan had been ap
plied fur. Do Lesseps replied that M.
Rousseau, a competent engineer who
examined the works on the Isthmus in 1886,
bad expressed the. conviction that the canal
could be completed, provided certain modi
fications in the original plan were made.
"But Boyer and Jncquef, bo:h competent
engineers, bad declared that a canal with
locks would cost from 1,200,000,000 to 1.800.
--000,000 francs," interpolated the presiding
Judge.
"Our consuUine committee of works"
replied M. de Lessep*. "gave an estimate of
600.000,000 for the completion of the work?,
aud tbe«e were the only figures we could
publish."
The court then took a recess. After recess
tbe presiding Judse questioned De Lesseps
as to the bo*ru* oetitions presented to the
Chamber and the enormous payments male
by the company to the syndicate which as
sisted in floating the loans. De Lesseps an
swered :
"Mucii as I regretted it, h.irj necessity
compelled us to resort to such means to in
sure the success of our plan?. Million- were
given to O^endoeff^r, the banker, who re
ceived 2,000,000 francs for giving the com
pany the i.!ea cf a lottery loan iv payment
for his suggestion of the simple plan. It
behooved us to humor such a great banker
and I even had difficulty in limiting the
sum as narrowly as 1 did. Like
all great bankers tho Baron do
Reinach was keen after pn fit. He was ex
ceptional, however, in his willingness to ri^k
his capital for the purpose cf realizing the
plan of the canal. He" is the man who
formed the first socieie civile with his own
capital, assisted by t!,e name of IL Bona
parte Wyse. When I gave Biron de
Keinach morwy I told him to take out of it
whatever remuneration ho chose."
T..IS admission evoked loud murmers of
surprise fin*, disapproval, an 1 tiie presiding
Judge 6aid: '"You handed him millions
with the permission to tut as tnueh as he
wished In his own pocket."
"Exartlv. Be fir<t demandei ir,,000.000,
then 12,000.000 francs. I refused to grant
his excessive demands and in my
refusal in spite of bis repeated threat-."
Da Lesseps was asked to e\plain what
became of 275.000 franc? in bor.ds payable
to bearer which were not accounted for in
the company's book?. He evaded the ques
tion t-y referring to tie bonds au porteur a?
the company's secret tervice fai d§. When
pressed by cunsel he referred tot!
ment of some CCO.COO francs to Cornelius
Herz, with whom the company could not
possibly afford to fall out. After « I
question as to the recipient of the .
francs, he said, after a painful silence:
"When the lottery bill was laid on the
table. Baibut asked f»r 1.n00.000 fmnca, ta
be paid him In ir.sta!!ment«. between the
introduction and the udoptiun of the bill
Of this ?um 2?. r i,O(X) Irancs were paid to
Baihut. Tl.eti the bill was withdrawn and
nothing more was pad."
De Lesseps paused for a moment after
giving this damaging testimony against the
ex-Minister of Public Works. Nobody
spoke or stirred. He looked fixedly at the
Judces, and added: "O.tly when the knifH
was put to my throat did I pay this money.
I was like a man giving up his watch to a
highwayman."
At the end of lis testimony the court ad
journed and the prisoners were removed to

Blame's Physicians Resort to the
Strongest Stimulants.
His Strength Held Up by Nitro-Cjlycer
ine, and When That Fails There
Will Be Nothing Left.
Epeelal ttTnlbssin Calx*
Washington, Jan. 10.— Another aston
ishing and unexpected improvement in the
condition of Blame occurred in the early
hours this morning. _At 1 a. m. the physi
cians announced that he had been worse
since 8 i\ m., and at that hour was still
losing strength. The family then gathered
in the room adjoining, fearing the worst,
but the patient lost no more strength, and
at 2 A. M. he was sleeping quietly with no
indications of immediate dissolution, and
the family retired. His rest continued un
broken until daylight. At 8 o'clock Dr.
Johnston said Mr. Kiaine v.as likely to die
at any time, but at 5 o'clock he said there
w is no probability of death for somn hours
at least. Half an hour later, on leaving tie
house, he said there was no immediate dan
ger of death.
Dr. Johnston returned to the house at
10:30 and remained half an hour. On leav
ing he said Blame was better than during
the night, and his condition was as favor
able as could be expected. lie continued to
take nourishment.
There is but little hope for the anxious
family in the statement that Dlaino U
bolter. He is kept alive, rt is stated, only
by the utmost care and skill on tho part of
his medical attendants.
As an intimate Mend of the family ex
pressed it: "It is only a question of hj\v
lout; the doctors can ward off the end they
know must come before very lon-. Nitro
glycerine, which the doctors arc administer
ing now, is probably the most potent stimu
lant known to the profession in such cases,
and its use shows thai every other resource

At 10 p. m. tho doctors cave out the fol
lowing bulletin: "Blalne passed v quiet
day without Incident. He has shown more
strength than yesterday, and hi? conversa
tion and manner are unusually bright and
cheerful."
Tne doctors stated in addition that they
had left for the night and should not re
turn unless sent for.

BEN BUTLER DEAD.
The Passing of a Remark
able Man. .
A LEADER OF HIS TIME.
In His O!d Age Defeat Came and He
Could Not Bear It as He Did
in Other Days.
Ejicrlal to The Mohnivo Cax.i»
Washington', Jan. 11.— General 15<»njv
niin F. Butler, lawyer, statesman, politician
and millionaire manufacturer, died at Ills
Washington residence, 220 Xew Jersey ave
uue southeast, at half-past 1 o'clock this
(Wednesday) morning. The General has
been in this city much of the time during
this winter watching a case in which ho
was interested In the Supreme. Court.
Every Monday he was a fain<liar figure a.
the sessions of that body when the decis
ions were handed down and bis age, as well
as the general impairment ot his health
while libtenim: to the oral decisions and
looking for one In his own case, was a mat*
ter of comment time and again.
Finally, a few week.- a t 'o, the case wa*
decided against him. Whether or not the
loss of this case, to which he had paid such
i\ so attention, brought to him anything
more than the casual defeat, wiil never be
Known.
His death created immense surprise, as It
was not even known that he wa? at in,;.
any more than any man who had lived and
!ali red so long would bo. His death is said
to have been from fai'ure of heart action,
and at this hour details are very 6carce.
Shortly niter 1 o'clock tiiis morning the
general was attacked with a fit of coughlug.
which awakened the man servai.t, who al
ways occupied the adjoining room.
He at once hastened to the general's
bedside nnd asked !:Lu what «»s the mat
ter. The general, meanwhile, had gone to
the bathroom adjoining, whither the valet
hastened and offered his assistance. The
general mcution<d that his expectoration
wa? discolored with blood.
He did not appear to think seriously of
the matter, however, and after the valet had
assisted him to his bed he said, "That's all.
West; you need not do anything more," and
apparently went to sleep.
Ho I, ad lain on tho bed but a few mo
ments, however, when heavy breathing
again aroused alarm.
Mr. Janicr Dunn, a nephew by marrinpe,
who resided in the same house, started out
in search of medical assistance. It
was fully fifteen minutes before
he couid secure aid, aid then when
he returned with Dr. Luce, assistant cf Dr.
Kayne, the family physician, it WM
thai the general was already In extremi?.
The doctor so informed the two nieces,
Miss Stevens and Mrs. Dunn, who were at
his bedside, and death ensued almost imme
diately.
HIS REMARKABLE CAREER.
One of the Most Wonderful Men of His
Century.
Benjamin Franklin Butler was born at
Deerficld, N. 11., Decembers. 1818. lie was
graduated at Wnterville College in 1838,
admitted to the bar two years later, and in
1841 began the practice of law at Lowell,
Mass,
At an early age he evinced a lively inter
e-t in politics on the Democratic side, and
in 1853 be was elected a member of the Mas
sachusetts Bouse of Representatives. la
18E9 he was elected to the Senate, lie was
a delegate to the Democratic National Con
vention which met at Charleston. After
taking part in the opening debates and
votes Butler announced that a majority of
the delegates from Massachusetts would
not further participate In the deliberations
of the convention ou the ground that there
had been a withdiawal in part of the ma
jority of the States.
Be also said: "I will not sit longer in
tliis convention on the further ground that
I wnld not sit in a convention where the
African slave Uade, which ii piracy by the
laws of my country, Is approvingly advo
cated."
He was nominated that year for Governor
of Massachufetis en thb Democratic ticket,
but was defeated. Ha was a brigadier-gen
eral in the State militia when President
Lincoln Issued his call for troops in April.
16G1, and on the 17th of that month lie
marched to Annapolis with th« Eighth
Massachusetts regiment and was placed in
command of the district of Annapolis, in
wt.ich the city of Baltimore was i.r ludeJ.
On May \.'>, 1861, Cutler at the head of
900 men entered Baltimore without opposi
tion, and three days later he was made a
BMJor-graeral and assigned to the command
of Fort Monroe and the Department of
Eastern Virginia. While be was stationed
there tic masters of some slaves who had
come within hi* lines demanded that their
property be given up. but the geueral re
(ascd to deliver them on the ground that
they were contraband ot tvar. From
this circumstance arose, the designation of
contrabands, which was generally applied
to slaves during the war.
Oil August, ixr,i, Uutler captured Forts
Batleras at«d < lark on the coast of North
Curolina, after wliicli he returned to afassa
ciiu^'t-' to recruit an expedition for the
Gulf of Mexico an I the Mississippi.
The expeditto'n reached Ship Island on
March 23, lni-', and on April 17 went up the
Mississippi Kiver. Aft,«r Farragut hal vir
tually captured New Oilcans, General Hut
ler took nossesMon of the city.
The general's government of New Or
leans was a very vigorous one. He armed
the free colored men, instituted strict sani
tary regulations and compelled rich sece*
siouistß to contribute to the support of the
poor of the city. His course in banging
William Mumford for hauling down the
United States flag from tho mint, and in
ts ulng "Order No. '..'V intended to prevent
women from insulting Union soldiers, ex
cited much comm-nt and adverse criticism,
not only in tbe boulh but in the Northern
Stales'.
This feeling culminated Is a declaration
Issued by Jefferson Davis denouncing But
ler as an outlaw. On May 10, 18<;2. (Ji-ncral
Butler seized S«»0,000 which had been de
posited in the rflit'o of the Dutch Consul,
claiming that the money was to be used to
purchase arirs and ammunition for the
Confederate army. All the foreign Consuls
protested against this action on the part of
Batter, but he. remained firm and refused to
give back the money, but he was finally
ordered to ao so.
0;i December 1C General Butler was re
called at the Instigation, as he believed, of
Louis Napoleon, who thought that ho was
antagonistic to his Mexican schemes.
He wan placed In command of the depart
ment of Virginia and North Carolina In
uid his force was subsequently desig
nated ns the Army of the Janes.
In October, IStM, there wero serious ap
prehensions of trouble in New York during
the election, aud Gener.il Butler was scut
there with a force to insure peace.
In IJM Uutler was elected a member of
Congress and served until 1879. He was
one of the leading spirits of the committee
appointed in 18(*>8 to conduct the impeach
ment of President Johnson. He ran unsuc-
cepsfully for Governor of Massachusetts as
a Republican in 1871, and In 1878 and 1879.
having changed his politics, was the candi
date of the Independent Greenback parly
and one wins of the Democrats for tho same
office, but was again defeated. In 18S2 the
Democrats united upon him as their candi
date and he was elected, though the balance
of tbe ticket was defeated. Iv 1883 ho was
Denominated, but was defeated. In ISS4 he
was the candidate of the Greenback and
Anti-Monopolist parties for the Presidency,
and received 133,825 voles.

ONLY AN EXPERIMENT
Reed and Cockran Unite Against
Fanciful Legislation.
A Proposal to Change the Constitu
tion That Was Not Allowed
to Pass the House.

Washington, Jan. 10.— In the Senate
this morning the quarantine bill was taken
up, and White's amendment that all the
visions of the. act shall expire on Jan
uary 1, 1893, was rejected. The bill was
then repotted to the Senate from the com
mittee of the whole, and all the amend
ments were concurred In. Some further
amendments ottered by Gray and V.I
wer« rejected.
Palmer of Illinois moved to amend the
seventh section by striking out the words
"suspend Immigration" and inserting the
words "prohibit In whole or in part the in
troduction of persons and property." This
was agreed to without division, and the sec
tion as amended was agreed to. The bill
was then passed without division.
The anti-options bill was then taken up,
and Vilas read the second part of hi* argu
ment against it. The. passage of the bill,
lie declared, would be an attempted viola
tion of the constitution and an encroach
ment on the rights of the State?. At the
close of Vilas' speech a vole was token on
the amendment offered by White of Louis

Senate adjourned.
CHAOS WOULD COME.
Cockran and Reed Join to Defeat a
Fanciful Experiment.
Washington, Jan. 10.— The House to
day, in conformity with a resolution from
the Committee on Rules, proceeded to the
consideration of the Grain joint resolution,
proposing amendments to the constitution
substituting the ;Uit day of December for
the. 4th day of March as the commencement
and termination of the official terms of
office for members of. the House of Repre
sentatives and United States Senators, and
providing that Congress shall hold annual
meeting on the second Monday in January,
and substituting the .'tilth of April for the
4th of March ns the date of the commence
ment and limiting of the terms of the Presi
dent, and Vice-President. Chipmau (P.) of
Michigan and ('rain advocated the measure, !
and Taylor (R.) of Ohio, Hooker (P.) of Mis- '
sissippi aud Cockran (P.) of New York op
posed it. In his speech Cockrau said that
the proposal, instead of having a well
ordered, well-regulated method, which had
settled more than one question of Presiden
tial succession, which had given to the coun
try from the day of its foundation a long
lino of rulers whoso authority had never
been questioned by any department of
-.the Government, was going to open a
wide broach in the constitutional system,
through which disputes of every character
Bight enter. Theso disputes might cast
doubt for year* upon the title of a Presi
dent, and might even array. the people of
tho country ..Into hostile camps, warring
against each other, to settle by arms ■
question which there would be no tribunal
to settle by peaceful methods. "I believe,"
he said, "that no reason can bo advanced in
favor of this proposition beyond that
prompting toward fanciful . experiments,
which seems to be Inseparable from the
human race."
English (D.) of .New Jersey opposed the
bill, and I3ushnell(D.) of Wisconsin advo
cated the measure, as did also lioatner (D.)
of Louisiana. Springer (D.) of Illinois be
lieved that tbo reforms proposed by the
joint resolution would conduce to the pros
perity and well-being of the people.
Reed (R.) of Maine seconded Cockran's
attack upon the measure, and made one of:
hit characteristic . speeches, vigorous nnd
witty.
4 The vote then came on ordering the joint
resolution to the third readinz and resulted:
Ayes 49, noes 121, thus defeating tho
'. measure.
The House then adjourned.

already In the biil, as pa-sed. by the House,
a penalty for damage or attempted dumajje
to any restiaining or impoundine darn or
other work erected by the miner and that it
was only fair that a similar penalty should
be prescribed against tiie miners who vio
lated the piovi-ions of tie Liil. He accord
ingly submitted the following amendment
to section 22: "Auy purson or persons,
company or corporation, their agents or
employes who shall mine by hydraulic pro
cess in violation of the provisions of this
act shall be punished by a fine of not ex
ceeding £. r )o<io, or by imprisonment not ex
ceeding one year, or by fcolli such fine and
imprisonment, in the discretion of the
pi.'urt."
"That seems fair enough," said a member
of the committee. "What is s;:uce for the
goose BbonM bo sauce for the gander."
Senator Call thought that such penal pro
visions would encroach upon the State's
sovereignty, but after discussion it wag de
cided that this would not be the result, as
lii jury to the navigability of stieamswas
one of the important questions concerned,
aud Congress would there.lore have the
right to prescribe penalties In tiiepremisog.
Senator Felton 6uygedtcd that the word
"may" In section y lo changed to "must,"
thereby making it imperative with mine
owners to tile with tho Government
commission a verified petition setting
forth such facts as will comply with
lh« law and rules prescribed by the
c mojlssion before hydraulic mining can
be communced. Mr. Berry agreed that
siicn au amendment should bo made. Sena
tor Stewart thought that the change was
immaterial, and there being no objection
the amendment was agreed to.
Mr. Berry disclaimed tho credit of repre
senting either the agriculturists, river men
or in mine men of California. Sen*.C were
opposed to the bill under consideration and
others favored it. but some fourteen or
fifteen prominent "valley" men hud agreed
with himself that a penal clause such as lM
proposed should bo incorporated In the bill.
Caininetti made a statement iv which he
agreed to the amendments proposed by
Sen n lor Felton, which liavo already been
printed, and to Berry's proposed amend
ment, Ho explained that section three, con
ctrniug Injury directly or indirectly to
rivers as a result of hydraulic mining, had
been very carefully worded so as not to in
terfere with the Stale's sovereignty. In
answer to Senator Stewart's Question, Cam
liietti said. that under his bill the California
State courts could enjoin miners, as at
present, ii necessary, but it was understood
and believed that the State would co-operate
with the Government in carrying out the
provisions of his bill. The State would
permit hydraulic mining if no injury to
rivers resulted, directly or Indirectly, and
he understood that a bill had alieady been
introduced in the California Legislature to
provide means for the execution of the pro
visions of such a law, concurrently with the
regulations prescribed by Congress and ex
ecuted by the Government engineers.
in answer to a pointed question from
Mills, Messrs. Felton, Caminetti nnd Berry
each sjave bis approval of tho bill With its
proposed amendments.
At the conclusion "f the reinatks of Berry
and Camitietti, the committee went into
executive session, and .^eoutor Felton gave
h full explanation of the terms of the Cami
netti bill. l\o ;a.d that millions of d tlari
per year c<u!d yet be taken out by ti:e
hydraulic process if the suspicious conten
ti ns and jealousies of the factions in Cali
fornia could be appealed. Felton said that
bis amendments were drawn nnder the ad
vice of both agriculturists and miners.
He thought that wie bill would five justice
to all classes, and whs at least a step to
pave tbe w\iy for lemslation which would
ultimately prove a gre.it hoon to California
and the Counter. He said that his amend
ments wero calculated to render river pro
tection more secure by making the provi
sions of Hit! law more explicit.
Senator Milts thought that the tnx of 3
pet cent imposed by the bill upon mineis
ought to bf surikient without requiring an
appropriation of Sis,<xo by C ngresa, which
amount Senator Stewart had dt-clared to be
in.suflH ient. flu thought that the beueii
claries of the proposed law should bear all
the expenses.
fetowart explained that the appropriation
of H&000 was merely to defray the expenses
of tho Government commission, and that
the expense of erecting restraining and im
pounding works was to be borne by the
miners and paid by the 3-per-cent tax
levied on the output of thn hydraulicmines.
"As I understand it," said Mills, "this is
not a preposition to remove the debris, hut
to prevent its lodemcut in the streams it
mining is resumed."
"Yes," said Stewart, "fend to re&traln tho
vast amount of debris already there, wtiich
would otherwise find its way into the
streams."
"It can bo removed," said Felton, "for
half a cent a cubic yard, whereas it would
cost 15 cents to remove it after awhile."
Senator Call termed this wise economy
and other members of the committee were
inclined to agree with him. The question
of Berry's amendment then recurring, >i-n
--ator Stewart thought it a little too harsh.
He said that heretofore pure malice had
actuated the prosecution of the miners and
cited instances of this in Pluiiias County.
Lindcr tha penalty, as prescribed la Berry's
amendment, lie nas afraid that in tho
future, as had been the case in Hie past,
there would be n disposition to abuse the
process of the law.
Faltra said that Berry's amendment was
simply a counterpart of the penalty pre
scribed against the agriculturists for inter
fering with tho miners.
Mills saw no objection to Berry's amend
ment, and it was adopted.
All the members having expressed them
selves favorablo to the bill, with Felton's
and Berry's proposfid nmeudment attached,
Seuator iitewart, by instructions of the com
mittee, reported it to the benalp. Senator*
Stewart nnd Felton am not ready to say Hint
very much good will be accomplisltrd, but
insist tint the bill will pave the way for
future legislation of vast, btoefit to Califor
nia. They believo thai the bill will bucume
a law at this Mssios.
SUSPENDING IMMIGRATION.
When the President Shall Have
Power to Act.
Washington; Jan. 10.— Section 7 of the
quarantine bill as passed by the Senate in
amended form reads: *
"That whenever it shall be shown to the
satisfaction of the President that by reason
of the existence of cholera or other infec
tious or contagious disease* in any foreign
country there is serious dnnger of thp Intro
duction of the same into the United States,
nnd notwithstanding the quarantine de
fiM'sn ttw 4 Ml|«r is so increased by the in
iroductiou of perjuhd or property from such
country that the suspension of the right to
introduce tho same is demanded in the in
terest ot public health, the President shall
have power to prohibit, in whole or in part,
the introduction of persons and property
from such countries or places as he shall
designate, and for such period of time as he
may deem necessary."
An appropriation of $1,000,000 is made to
enable the President to carry the act into
effect.' Compensation is to be made for
quarantine buildings and property received
from States or municipalities, and tho ace
of March 3. IS7;>. establishing a National
Board of IleaUh, is repealed.

ON A BROAD BASIS.
How Senators Have Approached
the Silver Problem.
Partisan Advantage and the Question
of Expediency Will Not Enter Into
the Matter at All.
Special to The Mup.niko Cai.u
Washington', Jan. 10. — The Senate
Finance Committee to-dny be^jan nn in
formal di<cussion of the silver question
that indicated thoroughly the bent of the
committee and the outcome of the preposed
effort to repeal the -Sherman act of 1890. It
developed that there was uot perfect unan
imity muong Republicans regarding the
strategic move of yesterday on the put of
Aid rich. .Sherman, although it Is under
stood that he Is opposed to such aggressive
action on the part of the younger member?,
is, however, in favor of the repeal of the
law which bears his name, and so expressed
himself on the floor of the Senate. Senator
Merrill is also in earnest in supporting any
proposition that will tend to remove the
dancer of free coinage, and he also favors
the repeal, while the standing of Allison on
tho money question is tuo well known to
ueed explanation. Paity lines were oblit
eratdin the discussion of the matter, and
attacks were indulged in by Senators at the
meeting which showtd that the proposition
is LeiDg considered upon the broad basis of
Statesmanship, rather tbun the narrow
plane of paity policy or political expedi
ency.
Representative Cate of Arkansas has pre
pnrcd the report of the majority of -the
committee to accompany the Sherman silver
bullion purchase repeal bill agreed upon
by the House Cotrmittee on Banking and
Currency yesterday. it asserts that the
circulation will be increased between 515.
--000*000 and 116,000,000 by the first section of
the bill, which provides that national banks
may issue bills to the par value of the bonds
deposited. The committee submits its re.
peal of the bullion-purchase clause of the
Sherman act with no other comments
than that tho experience of the past two
years has demonstrated that the policy en
tend upon at the time of its passage has
failed to afford substantial benefit to any
one, and its continuance is a menace to the
prosperity of the country. The committee
realizes that its proposition will stop the
increase of the circulating medium by the
issue of treasury votes in the purchase of
silver, but the. first section of the bill fur
nishes a largo increase in the circulation,
and one which in its opinion Is much safer
and mere likely to tupply the needs of the
country at large.
The committee also lelieves that the
cessation of all silver purchases by the
Government will not merely ad in the effort
to rea^h an international agreement fixing
tne ratio of gold and silver for coinage pur
pose?, but is a prerequisite to the reaching of
such an Internationa] agreement. With re
spect to the Cue amendment providing for
the coinage of t!;e silver bullion now in the
treasury into dollars, tho report says that
this will also furnish a considerable iucreaso
to the circulating medium.
The friends of the Andrew-C;ite bank
ing and silver repeal bill are confident that
they can get it up iv Ibe House for consider
ation, but are in doubt as to their ability to
bring it to a vote. They expect a special
order from tie Rule* Committee giving the
b.H ■ diiy in the House.
Xiv YoRK, Jar. 10.— Prominent financial
men in Wall street express a decided opin
ion that the Sherman bill will not be
repealed at thjs session of Congress, and
seem to have generally concluded Hat there
is more alarm ti.au I* Justified regarding
the continuance in force of the bill a while
longer. The Wall-street Journal still holds
this op nion and Quotes Senator Blackburn
in a Washington special ns saying: "There
U net the remotest chance of the repeal of
the Sherman blil by the Senate."

MURPHY THE MAN.
New York Democrats Re
buke Cleveland.
THE«E WAS NO OPPOSiTION.
Coclcr^p Stood Aside and the Protest
of McClelland Did Not Amount
to Anything.
Special to Thh Morning Call.
Albany. N. V., Jan. 10.— The Assembly
.chamber wn3 filled wit li Democrats of high
and low degree from all quarters of the
State to-night, when the Democratic mem
ber* of the Senate and Assembly met in
joint caucus to fix upon a candidate to sue- ]
ceed United States Senator Frnck Iliseoclr.
All of the Democratic Senator* an.i As
semblymen were present with one excep
tion. Senator Canton arose and congratu
lated the members on baing in a position to
elect a Democratic Senator. He formally
presented the name of Hon. Edward Mur
phy Jr. of Troy for the Senatorial Domina
tion. At the mention of Murphy's name the
larjre audience began clapping, but this soon
gave way to cheering, which was kept up
for several minute*.
Assemblyman William M. Konan of the
First Itensselner District seconded the nomi
nation. In a speech eulogistic of the can
didate.
Leader Quigley of Brooklyn said that
since Edward J. Murphy Jr. was tho only
choice of the unterrified and Intrepid
Democracy, it was, with great pleasure that
he seconded the nomination.
Senator McClelland then made a protest.
He said that in this day and generation the
Democratic party has greater interests at
stake than the spoils of office. It stands for
principle, and is committed to specific re- '
forms in the interests of the people. He
then stated th it he would cast bis vote for
Hon. Bourke Cockran, who, he believed,
was the choice of seven-tenths "of the
Democracy of New York.
j Senator Brown seconded Cockran's nomi
nation in a stirring speech. Several other
: speakers followed, and then Senator Can
ton read the following 7 telegram, dated
Washington, January 10:
To William F. SheeJian: If my name is
mentioned in tha caucus I beg you. to say
that I am not a candidate for the office of
Senator and that nobody has authority to
present my name.
W. Boui:ke Cock ran*.
Balloting then commenced, and the Sena
torial licall showed that ail the Senators
voted for Murphy except two, who voted
for Cockran. On the rollcall of the Assem
bly all but three voted for Murphy. The
total number of votes cast was 90, of which
Edward Murphy received 85 and Bourke
Cockran 5. The vote whs read and the
chair announced the nomination of Mr.
Murphy.
Senator Brown immediately moved that
the caucus aJjourn, wh,h was ordered
without making the uomii lion cf Murphy
unanimous. \M
TWO HOUSES.
The Populists of Kansas Will Rule
or Ruin.
Topkka, Kan?.. Jan. 10.— After wrangling
over the various plans proposed until after
1 o'clock ibis morning, the Populi3t caucus
adjourned, with a victory for the conserv
atives. Duusninrr, fusion Drn]osr4t, was
made the mucus nominee for Speaker, and
Ryan, fusion Democrat, for temporary
Speaker. It whs further agreed that the
State officers, contestants and representa
tives of the press be admitted to the hall.
The matter of organizing by force was
fought to the finish, and the victory of the
conservatives was sweeping.
When Secretary of State Osborne ap
pealed in the House this morning be said*,
that unless there were objections he would
assume the chair while the roll was being
called. Douglas, Republican candidate for
Speaker, objected. Dunsmorp, Populist
candidate for Speaker, said it was do
House, tf.at body not being in session. He
said the Populists wore entitled to organize
the House, and would object to those vot
ing whose seats were contested. No under
standing could be reached, and the parties
separated, each organizing its own Ilouse.
* So the fight for United States Senator is
fairly on, and ■ grave situation confronts
the Kansas Legislature. Amid the most
intense excitement and the greatest uproar
the two separate organizations were per
fected in the House to-day. The two
houses both organized at the same time and
in the same place, and both held sessions in
tlio representative hall this evening. The
Democrats held aloof and enjoyed the fun.
The House is composed of 125 members,
and of these sixty-three, or -a majority of
one, hold certificates of election and com
pose the Republican House, claiming that
their organization is the only legal one.
The Populists number fifty-seven, bat claim
that those members whose seats were con
tested have no right to participate in the
preliminary proceedings or pass upon their
own qualifications. The Republicans or
ganized with a majority and would doubt
less be upheld by the courts if the matter
goes so fur. The session is limited by stat
ute to fitly day?, and the Republicans say
they will hold the fort all that time if neces
sary to carry their point.
The Governor has not as yet recognized
either house. He has received committees
from both house?, but informed them that
he had no communication to transmit to the
body which sent them to him. He will
doubtless recognize the Populist house, and
the Adjutant-General will assist the ser
geaut-at-arms in the removal of the Repub
licans from the representative hall. They
say they will not resist the militia and will
withdraw quietly to another hall, where
they will maintain their organization. So
the matter stands.
Senator Perkin* is here looking after his
fences. United States District Attorney
Ady is in hope of getting the United States
senatorship in case the Republicans finally
capture the House. •
Tho Populists have decided to join in no
conference looking to a compromise of the
disa firemen between the two parties. Con
gressman Simpson, this evening, in an in
terview, said that the Populists /plans were
matured and that they had arranged to put
the wheels of legislation into immediate
operation to-morrow morning.
" When asked what action the Populists j
would take if the fiaht was taken to the
Supreme Court by the Republicans and de
cided against the Populists, he said: "If
the Supreme Court decides that laws passed
by the representatives of the people in
Legislature assembled are illegal such ac
tion will be revolutionary and the court
will lay Itself liable to impeachment, and
we will impeach it, too, if it takes any such
action."
THE REPUBLICAN DEFEAT.
Ex-Senator Edmunds Explains How It
Happened.
Los Anoki.es, Jan. 10.— Ex-Senator Ed
munds of Vermont was Interviewed by an
Express representative at Redlands to-day
respecting tho prospects of the Republican
party. He said: "The old party is not
dead by any means. The recent defeat was
one of those periodical epidemics which
sweep over this country, as they do over
France, for instance, where the people
clamor for a change at : intervals largely for
imaginary reasons.
"The recent defeat wa3 caused by the
aggregation called Populists (largely made
up of recruits from the Republican par
clamoring for free silver and other so-called
reforms, by the Prohibition^ and by
Republicans who were dissatisfied with the
McKlnley tariff bill., It Is.a remarkable
fact, by the way, that the Prohibitionist-
Republican knifes . his party at the [ most
critical time, although the only legislation
PRICE FIVE CENTS.
favorable to temperance has been secured
through the efforts of the Republican party.
On the other hand his Democratic brother,
notwithstanding the strong plea he makes
for prohibition, invariably votes for the
Democratic ticket when uatioual issues are
at stake."
The Seuator sail he did not think a cor
ruption fund had been used in Congress in
behajf of the Panama caual scheme. In
regard to the Nicaragua canal he said:
"I have been out ol Congress a year and
a half and have spout most of the time in
Europe, so I cannot state positively what
action will be taken in tho matter. But ray
opinion is that it will be favorable. About
eight years ago, just prior to the. election of
Cleveland as I'rsidont, I took an activ*
part in promoting the Interests of the. canal
as oneuf the Committee on Foreign R la
tions. It received an overwhelming majority
but lacked four votes of the necessary two
thirds.
"Strange to say, immediately after the
election of Cleveland a decided dampening
of ardor was apparent on the p.trt of many-
Democratic members who had prior to that
been among the strongest advocates of the
canal. Cleveland's adverse influence was
unquestionably brought to bear on them.
Thus you see one of the most important
enterprise* for our country ever under
taken was shelved by a Democratic Presi
dent and eight years of time lost".
"The Nicaragua canal will be finished, and
when it f«, it will revolutionize the com
merce of this State and promote its growth
hi wealth and population as nothing elso
can, in fact beyond the anticipation of
even its own people; it will give the United
States the key to the commercial situation,
making it the greatest commercial maritime
power on earth. Ju<t think of ' lie wonder
ful benefits of the Supz canal to th« com
merce of England and then multiply them
many times over. Such will be the result*
to the United State* of the completion of
the Nicaragua canal."
