TUB CONSTITUTION CENTENNIAL. >lr. Hoar, from the select committee on the cele bratlou of the centennial of the Constitution, re ported a Joint resolution providing "in addition to such other celebration as may hereafter be pro vided for" thai the two houses?! Congress shall in et in the hall of the House of Kepresentauves; that the chlei Justice of the lulled States shall deliver an oration, and that Ulu President of the United states, the Justices of the supreme Court, the members of the Cabinet, the executives of the several stales and territories, and such other per sons as may hereafter be determined upon shall be luvited to attend. Mr. Hale asked Mr. Hoar whether there was anything in the resolution by wlilch congress could be considered as committing itself In any form to a great industrial exposition In the city of Washington. Mr. lio.ir replied that the committee had not come to any conclusion on that sutoj?;t, and had not even considered It. The comimitee had heard some persons In regard to it, but head not taken it up for action. The committee, in reporting the resolution, had carefully refrained from anything which would commit the Senate or congress to any such plans. .Mr. Voorhees (a member of the select committee,) said that he understood the Joint resolution to be a mere announcement that the centennial of the Constitution would be celebrated, and to be anoutlln ' 01 the manner In which It would be done. He regretted that he had not been present at the last meeting of the committee, but had supposed that .-ouie step would be taken in regard to invitations to the South American countries. He asked Mr. Hoar whether he contemplated offer ing an amendment In that sense. Mr. Hoar replied that llie select committee had found t hat t liut matter was pending before the com mit tee on foreign relations, mid beluie a subcommit tee thereof, oi which Mr. Krye was chairman, and It was well known that that Senator had In mind the desire lo have a commercial cuusullallon with the var.ous South American coui tries promoted by tills country. The select colui ulllee had not w lslied lo take any step to embariass or interfere with the Judiciary committee. Air. VoorheesexpreSacd himself stitlsfled with the explanation, and added that, inert was nothing In the Joint resolution commuting uliybody 10 an ex position. Whatever might be d4 ue hereafter in that dlrect.on the pending resoluu.un did not com mit congress lo any such line of itcllon. Mr. Hale suggested the propriety/ of omitting the Introductory words (In quotation marks). He un derstood, from tne remarks of tf.ie senator from Massachusetts, thai the select cHnmlttee did not ropose to deal wuu the subject*of any other cele raitoa. Mr. Hoar explained that whsft he meant was that the select committee would not deal with that subject wltnout conference with the commit tee on foreign relations, whlcli had charge of it. Of course the pilnclual and most important point in the matter was that of cniiia erclal relations. Mr. Hale said he md nol otijet t to the Joint reso lution unless there lurked in it something more than was seen, nor did ho object 10 the oth r branch of the celebration (ihe commercial confer ence with South American stal esj. But the greater question of a long-continued a uilonal or interna tional exposition, to be held in Washington or elsewhere. Involved most senious considerations, and should be .ipproached vf ry carefully. Time and place should be selected vith care; and, how ever proud they might all be?Cif the city ot Wash ington, and hotvever glad thqy mlgnt be to have It buUl up, and dlgnlued awl adornel. It was not sufficiently a seal ot art, or science, or labor, or manufacture to Justify its selection for a great ex position. For one, the re lore, he did not want to be committed to anything that looked In that direction. MR. R1DDLEBEROKH ST1CUNO TO HIS TUT. i Mr. Klddle'oerger said that me pending resolu tion involved an international matter, and in view ot the fact it seemed impossible tor him to get the Senate to consider his resolution for an open ses sion in considering tne British extradition treaty, he might be allowed to discuss she subject In con nection wlih the pending matter. THE JOINT RESOLUTION PASSED. After long discussion the Joint resolution for the celebration of the centennial of the Constitution was p asset L Mr. Saul bury called up and addressed the Sen ate on the resolution relating to international coinage. The resolution went over. ?The education bill was laid before the Senate but laid aside temporarily, and Mr. Piatt took the floor for A SPEECH TPON TUB PRESIDENT'S MESSaOE. He argued that the President is a freetrader. ?I?uw of Ueprenenlalhen. MR. WHITE DENIES A NEWSPAPER STORY. Mr. White (N. Y.), rising to a question of prlvllege> sent to the Clerk's desk and had read an extract from the Chicago News, containing a reprint of a Washington special to the New York Tribune. This special states that "Deacon" White has a private wire, one end of which Is In the corridor of the House and the other end In his business office in 'New York; that he is constantly sending and re ceiving messages over this wire, and while occupy ing a seat in the House knows exactly what Is going on in his offlce. This wire, says the special, ?costs Mr. Willie many thousands a year, while no one knows how much more the privilege ot sitting In the House costs him. Mr. White said that as there was In the article something which, 10 a hyperesthetlc mind, might be construed as a reflection upon h|B char acter as a member of the House, he would read a special dispatch which he had sent to the Brook, lyn papers. In this dispatch WH. WHITS DENIES EMPHATICALLY that be has a special wire between Washington and 2;ew York. He refers to the fact that the Tribune article was copied In several other papers, notably the Louisville Courier-Journal, which ithus gave "a free-trade endorsement to a highly protected lie." [Laughter.] There was not the slightest foundation for the story outside ot the imagination ot a sensational paragrapher. He states that the Tribune of yes terday published a denial of the story, and ex presses the hope that the free-trade wing will be as just, and see if the whole party combined can overtake this Ue, which had one week's start. iLaughter.] NEW BILLS.

Browne, 305 Massachusetts avenue northwest, by taking a dose of "Rough on Rati" Houck came herefrom Baltimore about eighteen months ago with his wlie to seek em ployment. He had a little money, which was soon exhausted. He occasionally secured an odd lob but luck seemed to be against him. ' According to his statements before he took the poison he had seen and received encouragement trotn Senator Gorman. He visited him Several times, but Anally he was unable to see the sen ator. His taiiure to obtain employment caused lilin to become despondent, and at times he showed evidences or some affection ot the brain I ast Thursday he borrowed money or Mr Browne in whose house he occupied rooms, and went to H ii tlmore to see his relatives and ilnd work, lr tkk,i ble. He soon returned to this city. Not wantlnj to race Ills wire and child without either work or money he walked about the streets maklmr Inquiries ror worit, but met with no success^ Saturday afternoon he returned home, tired and hungry, and acted as though he had expected a cold reception. He was, however, mistaken In this; for his wife and child and Mr. Brownes family were all glad to see him. "Thenlam^ glad I came," be said. "I did not know that you and Mr. Browne wanted to see me airaln. l am glad I did not take this" (holding in his hand a ox of Rough on Rats), "as I had Intended." Mr Houck asked her husband for the poison but he held fast to the box, and refused to give it up Mrs. Houck went up stairs to prepare something to eat for her hutband, leaving him playing with the child. She returned In a few minutes and he was still playing with tbe baby. In a few minutes the husband showed signs of dis tress, and when questioned by his wife he admitted that he had taken a dose of tbe poison, soon he was taken violently ill, and Hrs. Bowen and Van Bogan were sent for. Strong emetics were admin istered, but were unavailing, as there was no food In his stomach, the poison had done its deadly work rapidly. He died about 0 o'clock. The coro ner deemed an inquest unnecessary. Mrs. Houck formerly lived In Brooklyn. She is left in destitute circumstances.

MtOarkCTS THAT THERE WILL BE K'l DlFFICt'LTT IN AKKAKOINU THE SCALE Or WAOES. PtrrsBCRii, Feb. a.?The scale committee of the coal operators and miners' interstate convention is in session here to-day. From the outlook It would seem asthough no difficulty will be found in ar ranging the scale; as the operators do not express any Intention of reducing wages in any part or the country and the miners do not ask an advance. If the matter Is not settled to-day, however, it will lie left for the general convention, which opens here to-morrow. The Joint scale, which the present convention Is to renew this year, is known as tbe Columbus agreement, because at that Ohio city two years ago the format Ion was broached of a uniform system of wages and rules for all bituminous miners shipping into the western and northern markets. Previous to this there had been numberless quarrels between operator* iu the Pittsburg and in the Hocking VaUey districts, owing to tbe charges of tne Fltta burg operators that tbey paid higher wages and larger freight tariffs than was done In Ohio, and could not well compete In the some markets. Both these districts complained against tbe Indi ana and southern Illinois miners working for less money. At the same time there was a running quarrel between the Federation of Miners and Mine Laborers and the kulghu of Labor. Prior to the Columbus meeting wages varied f roin Sy cents In one district to OB in Pittsburg, while Ute Hock ing Valley miners mostly worked on agreements. The benenclal effect of this agreement was such that at the last convention wages were advanced to 74 oenta in this district and (Jo in the Hocking Valley, and again. In November last, to 7U cent* and 74. a uniform scale for "dead" work was pro jected and is now being put Into use. important sanitary regulations and rules promoting better government of the mines and safety u> tbe em ploye* were Introduced. The agreement now affects in the neighborhood of 50,000 miners and 700 to 900 pita. Tbe Alleged Kidnapping ran, THE CAM AM AM UOVRRNMEMT HAS AS TIT RECEIVES MO RBPLT FROM WASHINOTOM.
