It Was Caused by a Report on the Rinaker - vs. Downing Contested Election Case in . Which the Report Declared in Favor of ltinnker Mr. McMillan Became In cited and Hushing Down the Aisle Shouted That Mr. Grosvenor Was Al ways Open and Ready for Dirty Work. Washington, June 5. The day began with a two-hour struggle over 1he General Grosvenor, rep., calling upon the heads of the several executive de partments for a statement of all the I removals and changes In their depart j ments since March 4, 1893. The demo- crats endeavored to have the scope of j the resolution enlarged so as to include :, the changes made under the Harrison administration, but failed. The vote on the adoption of the resolution was: Teas 147, nays 48. Mr. Strode, rep., of Nebraska, de manded the previous question upon the resolution declaring Martin, pop., enti tied to the seat occupied by Lockhart, dem., from the Sixth North Carolina district It was ordered and Mr. Bail ey, dem., o'f Texas, moved to substitute the resolution of the minority of elec tions committee No. 2 declaring Lock hart entitled to his seat. The motion was defeated 58 to 155. Mr. Bailey moved to recommit the case. On this the house divided ayes 39, noes 70. . ' . t "No quorum," said Mr. Bailey. Speaker Pro Tem. Payne overruled the point, 213 members having voted. Mr. Bailey appealed from the decision of the chair. The chair declined to entertain the appeal. On demand of Mr. Bailey the yeas and nays were ordered on the question of recommitting the case, re sulting: Yeas 61, nay3 148. While this vote was in progress the democratic members vacated their seats for the purpose of breaking a nrinriim. leavine- Mr. B.ilev in chared iof the case and two or three associates on guard. ' The question was then put on the res- f olutiori declaring Martin entitled to the seat and the vote was announced ayes US, noes 5. yi Mr. JBaney raised the point or no quo rum, but the chair overruled the point and declined to entertain an appeal. After further dilatory tactics on part of Mr. Bailey, Mr. Martin was sworn In. Mr. Moody, rep., of Massachusetts, presented the report of elections com- Imittee No. 1 upon the recount of ballots cast In the Sixteenth district of Illinois In the contested case of Kinaker. rep.. iversus Downing, dem. On the face of the returns Downlng's plurality over Rinaker was forty. The recount re sulted in a plurality of five for Rinaker. The committee reported a resolution de claring Rinaker entitled to the seat. Mr. Moody stated that in his opinion Downing was entitled to retain the seat, but his view of the law was not accepted by the other republicans, and he did not v expect the house to adopt his opinion. Mr. McMillan, dem., of Tennessee, en deavored to secure a postponement un til to-morrow at least. An inquiry by Mr. Grosvenor at this juncture precipi tated the moU disorderly scene of the session. In view of -what we have seen here xo-day can the gentleman from Ten nessee assure us of the presence of a tauorum at that time?" Mr. McMillan rushed furiously down the aisle and shouted, "Whenever there is any dirty work to do in a contested Selection case the gentleman from Ohio ban be depended upon to furnish the quorum." Mr. Moody interposed and impressive- )y raising his hand said: "As one who has stood by the con- testee In this case throughout and ex pects to vote for him to retain his seat, I most earnestly deplore the remark of the gentleman. I ask for the previous Question." ' Mr. McMillan started to make reply but his voice was almost drowned by fries of "regular order" and the pound ing of the gavel. Partial quiet being restored Mr. Grosvenor said: "The gen ileman from Tennessee has been point ing his finger at me and ejaculating 'jomething I could not understand. If I 1m entitled to know what it is from the jeporter's notes I should like to be in- 1 A n that T mair ancrar " i Mr. McMillan bounded down the aisle tt this accompanied by shouts and iries from the republicans who urged Ir. Grosvenor not to pay any atten jon to Mr. McMillan's outburst, and ly renewed vigorous pounding on the iesk by the speaker pro tem., the latter tated that the remarks of Mr. McMill an were out of order and would not be preserved. (Against this McMillan vehemently i-otested, unless Mr. Grosvenor's ques- ton, which he denounced as a reflee- n upon himself, was also expunged. jQuiet having been restored general knaker's right to the seat was affirmed $ a vote of 167 to 51 Messrs. Evans of tentucky, Moody of Massachusetts.and lerman of New York, with the demo- Sats in the negative, and he was also orn in.

Big Suuday School Parade In Brooklyn Yesterday. New York, June n. The children of the Brooklyn Sunday School union to day celebrated the sixty-seventh anni versary of the foundation of the organ ization. The May walk, in which 75,000 children participated, was the great event of the day. The public schools were closed, as is usual on anniversary day. The child dren marched in several divisions, each of which was made up of a cluster of Sunday schools, so that the 'marches would not overtax any of the youthful participants. The greatest interest was in the Pros pect park division, made up of the Sun day schools of the churches on the Park slope and on the Hill. Governor Mor ton and Mayor Wurster reviewed this division on the Long Meadow in Pros pect park. Malcomb B. Dutcher was grand marshal of this division, assist ed by Marcus D. Henderson, Eugene V. Skelton, John P. Perry and Harry C. Palmer. Each Sunday school in the division had a band of music. The ceremonies began with the toll ing of the church bells at 11 o'clock, which was the signal for the children to start for their respective Sunday schools. Praise services were held in all the churches. At the conclusion of the ser vices the march began. The Sunday schools which made up the Prospect park division held services, as did the others, in the churches. The schools all gathered on Anniversary Hill, in the park, where they held musi cal services. The reviewing stand was erected at the upper end of the meadow. On the stand, according to arrangements, were Governor Morton, Mayor Wurster, Si las M. Giddings, president of the Sun day School union; J. Edward Swan strom, president of the board of educa tion; Park Commisisoner Timothy L. Woodruff, Police Justice Charles E. Teale, A. D. Matthews and the pastors of the churches in the division. THE EPSOM HACKS. L,ast Day of the Contests Big Knee for Lord Derby The Winner. London, June 5. To-day was the last day of the Epsom spring meeting and next to Derby day the most Important of the four days' racing, the event of the day being the Oaks stakes of 4,500 sovereigns, a race which attracts more spectators of the higher classes and fewer of the lower than any of the great English turf events. The air was cool and the sun shone brightly. As 'upon Derby day, the roads were alive with racing parties on their way to Epsom Downs, but there was a marked differ ence In the character of the crowd. The increased number of gentlemen and la dies of recognized standing in society and the diminution of ordinary holiday seekers was very noticeable. The toil ets of the ladies were even more gor geous than on Wednesday and vastly more numerous. The royal train con veying the Prince of Wales and his party left Victoria station for Epsom at 12:30 o'clock. The Oaks was won by Lord Derby's Canterbury Pilgrim. The Prince cf Wales' Thais was second and Mr. J. C. Hill's Proposition third. Following is the summary: Lord Derby's chestnut filly Canter bury Pilgrim, by Tristan, out of Pil grimage, 1. H. R. H. the Prince of Wales' brown filly Thais, by St. Serf,, out of Poetry, 2. Mr. J. C. Hill's bay filly Proposition (sister to Euclid), by Prism, dam by Speculum, out of Nydia, 3. The other starters were Helm Avil lon, Miss Frazer, Nanemoosha, Meli Melo and Amphora. Canterbury Pilgrim won by two lengths, and Thais finished a length in front of Proposition. The winner's time was 2:45 3-5. The betting at the start was 12 to 1 against Canterbury Pilgrim, 13 to 2 against Thais, 14 to 1 against Proposi tion, 8 to 1 against Helm, 11 to 1 against Avillon, 12 to 1 against Miss Frazer, 14 to 1 against Nanemoosha, and 20 to 1 each against Meli Melo and Amphora. IX THE HAXDS OF THE JURY. At Ten O'clock tast Evening No Agree ment in the Olney Case Had Been Reached. Willimantlc, June 5. The arguments were concluded this afternoon in the the case of the state against Jeremiah Olney, ex-school fund commissioner, and Judge Wheeler began his charge to the jury, which was concluded at 4:40. The court's charge to the jury was an exhaustive one, and it is thought by some to have favored the state. He charggd the jury that if it should convict on one of the alternate counts it should acquit on the other, as they are similar in nature, so it could not convict on more than ten of the twenty counts claimed by the state. The jury retired and remained out until 6:40, when the judge recalled them and in formed them that they would not be allowed to separate until they agreed or were otherwise discharged. At 10 p. m. the jury reported dis agreement, but the judge sent them out again to remain in consultation till to morrow at 8:30. Sold for Millions. . Niagara Falls, X. Y., June 5.

Fast Work of the St. Faul from South ampton. New York, June 5. The American line steamer St. Paul was sighted east of Fire Island at 12:22 o'clock this af ternoon and crossed the bar at Sandy Hook at 2:06 o'clock. She left South ampton on Saturday last, May 30, at about noon, passing the Needles about 1:25 p.m. Her time for the voyage was six days, five hours and forty-one min utes. . The best previous western record of the St. Faul was made on her last voyage, which ended on May 16, and was six days nine hours five minutes. The best previous westward record from Southampton by any ship was six days, seven hours, fourteen minutes. The St. Paul has therefore on her pres ent trip reduced her own best time by about three and a half hours and at the same time made a new westward record from Southampton. The record to or from Southampton was held by the New York up to to day, having been made in September, 1894. Previous to that dxte it was held by the Columbia, her time being six days, nine hours and twenty-five min utes. The best eastward record was made by the Fuerst Bismarck in 1893, the time being six days ten hours and fifty-five minutes. It was not until the last few voyages that the St. Paul seemed to be able to make fast time. She was often in diffi culties, a breaking of more or less im portance having occurred on several trips. The worst of all her mishaps was her stranding at Long Branch, where she remained for ten days before she was floated. During this spring phe has been more fortunate and has been increasing her speed with each voyage. Thoro its tin dnllht thnt shp hnet t-trnlran ! the hourly rate of speed from South ampton, which was also held by the New York, 20.26 knots, and it is thought that she has beaten the best average by the Majestic or the Teutonic, which is" 20.41 and 20.35 respectively. The best hourly rate of speed is now held by the Lucania, 22.01; the Campania is next, t with 21.82. 'COXDITIOX OF TltADE. Bradstreota Report on Condition of Conn try's Business, New York, June 5. Bradstreet's to morrow will say: General trade con tinues depressed in almost all lines. Demand Is smaller than a week ago, and request and and offerings of com mercial paper have decreased. Mercan tile collections continue coplained of, and the tendency of prices, particularly of cereals, sugar, pork, products, cotton and cotton goods and iron and steel continues downward. At the south the more favorable fea tures are the rain which has visited South Carolina, Georgia and Alabama, with benefit to the crops and about one sixth increase in the cotton acreage of Texas; higher prices for rosin and a larger volume of business at Nashville, Charleston and at Baltimore. Nebras ka's crop prospects were never better. There is a moderate increase in the de mand for dry goods at Chicago, but business there generally is disappoint ing. The check to trade at St. Louis is, in part, the result of delays in distrib ution of merchandise on account of the late storm. Unseasonably cool weath er and rain have interfered with retail trade in territory tributary to Kansas City. Eastern advices are that wool is dull as ever, with larger stocks of old car ried over than for years, and very light demand for new clip. In the face- of this, Portland, Oregon,! wires that about 4,000 tons of wool will be handled at The Dalles this year and that it has begun to move, but that eastern buy ers haxe not put In ah appearance. Makers of cottons for export are doing relatively the best business. - Over supply of cotton fabrics continues to depress prices. Much woolen goods machinery continues Idle and sales cf woolens for fall delivery have not held Up as expected. ; Shoes continue firm, and factories re port large orders on hand which strengthens leather and hides. Iron and steel prices in some instances are maintained by the strength of pools. Either consumers are resisting de mands of combinations by withholding orders or nearby wants for staple makes of iron and steel have been overestimated. Production tends to decrease. ' Total bank clearings throughout the United States for the past six business days amount to $S67,O00,0OO, five per cent more than in the preceding week, but fourteen per cent less than In the first week of June, 1S95, and only seven per cent larger than in the correspond ing week of 1894. May-bank clearings, 1896, show not only a heavy falling off from May a year ago, but are smaller than the April total, something which has oc curred only twice In thirteen years. Two-thirds of the cities report smaller clearings in May this year than last, and every group reports a fallingjoff. The smallest relative decrease Is from the south. , The middle and teouthwest crn states report heaviest declines. To tal clearings at sixty-nine cities for May aggregate $4,21.8,000,000, a decrease of thirteen per cent from May a year ago, of 1.4 per cent from April this year, an increase of 8.7 per cent over May, 1894, but a decrease from May, 1893, a period of Industrial share panic. For five months clearings aggregate $21,277,749,614 this year, an increase of 1.9 ?er cent over 1895, of 14.7 per cent over 1894, but a decrease from 1893 of twenty per cent. The number of busi ness failures throughout the United States this week is 236, compared with 236 in the first week of June, 1S95. Exports of wheat, flour included as wheat, from both coasts of the United States, this week have been the largest since the third week In January, 3,209,000 bushels, against 2,291,000 bush els in the first week of June, 1895. The most significant features of . Brad street's report of world's available wheat is the relative increases of Leading importing countries have permitted producers to carry a larger proportion of world's stock of available ble wheat since 1893. Supplies afloat for and in Europe two years ago were 80,000,000,000, one year ago 69,000,000 and on June 1, 1896, 47,000,000 bushels. General business in Canada is dull, merchants buying for necessities only. Jobbers at Montreal expect a fair sea son's business. At Toronto demand is confined to sorting up orders. Trade is light In Nova Scotia, but the weather has been favorable to crops. In New Brunswick lumber shipments are act ive, but trade in other lines is dull. Bank clearings at. Winnipeg, Hamilton, Toronto, Montreal and Halifax amount to almost $22,000,000 this week, a heavy increase as compared with last week. The corresponding total one year ago, however, was about $600,000 larger than it is this week. There are twenty-nine failures report ed throughout the Canadian dominion, against twenty-seven in the week a year a,go. Suicide Rather Than the Axe. Berlin; June 5. A criminal named Ochlmann was beheaded at Burnswick early this morning for the murder of his aunt and cousin. On his way to the rlace of execution Ochlmann at tempted to commit suicide by throw ing himself over the prison staircase, dragging with him the warden who had him in charge. The warden was frightfully hurt, and is dying. The City Missions. Eight Christian Endeavor societies connected with Baptist, Methodist and Congregational churches in New Haven are assisting in the work of the City Missionary association. Two of th?se societies conduct each month one of the Sunday evening services at the City Mission hal!. corner of Court and State streets. Ti.e service to-morrow evening will be in charge of the Christian En deavor society of the Dwight Place church, and will include special musi cal selections. The other Sunday ser vices will be, as usual, at 9 a. m. and 3 and 4 o'clock p. m. CREW'S HOUSING SEND0FF TALE STUDEXl'S DEMOXST11A TlOX JX HOAOJt OE THE CUE If. A Thousand Students Parade Headed by Second Regiment Band-A'ale Yells and Cheers Filled the Ail- Bonfire on the Campus-Marsh Not Allowed to Go With the Ciew Elligy Burned at the Bonfire. Yale doesn't send a crew to England every year, and that this fact is appre ciated by the great Yale undergraduate body was shown last evening by the rousing send-off given to the crew when it left on the 7:10 train for New York preparatory to sailing from that city this morning at 10 o'clock for England on the steamer City of Berlin. ' At 6:15 last evening the Yale clans began gathering in front of Osborn hall and by 6:30 fully eighteen hundred stu dents were In line ready to march. The sidewalks were packed with townspeo ple out to see the demonstration, and altogether a stranger would have thought that there was a Fourth of July celebration In progress. At 6:30 the members of the crew left the New Haven house entrance on College street and took carriages for the station. The parade was then ready to start and it moved down Chapel streetwith the Sec ond regiment band at the head. Be hind the band in a carriage rode Bob Cook, the veteran coach; Dater and several other members of last year's crew. Next came Captain Treadway and his crew who are to meet the Eng lishmen, and then came the student throng, every student having his arm over the shoulder of the one who marched next to him. In this order they marched down Chapel street to Church, down Church to Meadow, and down Meadow street to the depot. Deafening Yale cheers of all sorts were given during every step, of the march and these, together with the attempts at singing the college songs, made a veritable pandemonium. Arrived at the depot, a large part of the crowd took possession of a row of freight cars across the tracks in front of the depot. The train was on time, and a special car for the accommoda tion of the crew was coupled on. After the crew had gone aboard the members were kept busy shaking hands, with their hosts of friends before the train pulled out. Cheer after cheer made the depot ring and the entire front platform between the building and the tracks was filled with a pushing, surging, yell ing, perspiring crowd. Finally a line formed through the car to shake hands with the crew and con tinued passing through the car until the train pulled out. Then the crowd surg ed out over the track and Pop Cross, of football fame, one of Yale's famous "ice wagon" rush line, led the cheering1, which was given with a will from more than a thousand throats. The line then reformed, with the band at its head, and marched back to the campus, where the band gave a eon cert. On the way up several blue flags were displayed along the line of march and each one was greeted with loud cheers and yells. Finally as they reached the corner of Church and Mead ow streets, every man took off his coat and the march became a shirt sleeve parade. Then to further make some fun every man toqk off his hat or cap and tossed it Into the air, and a strange sight was presented, like a storm of hats. After arriving at the campus, the band played two or three pieces and then departed. The students then pro posed a fire and scouts were sent in all directions after anything which would burn. A raid was made on the new dormitory being erected on York street and barrels, planks, hods and scaffolds were secured. Soon the foraging par ties returned and the fuel was heaped in a pile ten or twelve feet high on the vacant lot at the corner of Library and High streets and in a few minutes a rousing blaze was kindled. Just at this time a garbage wagon was driven up to the commons close by. On the wagon was a dozen barrels in which to carry away the garbage, but they were never used for that purpose. In an Instant the wagon was surrounded by a yelling mob and quicker than it takes to tell there was not a barrel or ves tige of rigging left on the wagon, all having been "swiped" to feed the bon fire. The fire was kept up with fuel of every description. Mattresses, beds, chairs, coats, furniture of all sorts, and in fact by everything that would burn. Finally an effigy, purporting to be that of Professor Goodell, who the students think was the cause of Marsh not be ing allowed to go with the crew, was brought uion the scene and thrown upon the flames. All this while a large mob of students, formed in rings, were dancing and howling about the blaz ing pile. The nearby streets were lined with reople out to see what all the disturbance was about. The fire was kept up by fuel furnished by foraging parties until half past nine. Large numbers . of students went to New York last evening and will be on hand this morning at the pier of the City of Berlin to give the crew a last chance to hear the Yale cheer for awhile and to give them Godspeed. CHEW IX XliW YORK. They Went to Murray Hill Hotel and Re tired Early. New York, June 5. The Yale crew and substitutes arrived from New Ha ven at the Grand Central depot at 9:15 o'clock to-night. President deSibour of the Yale navy and Bob Cook, who were in the city early this morning, superin tending the arrival of the shells, met the crew at the depot, and all hands proceeded to the Murray Hill hotel, where they will stay to-night In ad dition to the members of the crew a big crowd of students and graduates came along from New Haven to wish the boys "bon voyage." All hands retired to rest at an early hour. Captain Treadway said that the men were all fit and that the crew was one of the strongest Yale ever had on the water. Ho had confidence in the Yale stroke. He said: "The improvement o the crew con sidering the short time we have been rowing is all that can be expected. . "The crew is in fair shape, and with three weeks coaching by Captain Cook on the other side the eight will be as well prepared as any crew that has been in a Yale-Harvard race. We have strong hopes of success, but win or lose we will have no excuses to make." The Berlin will sail at 11 o'clock to morrow morning, and the crew expect to be at Henley on the 15th. All the ar rangements for exercise on board have been perfected. The men will only do such work as will keep them in condi tion during the voyage, which Bob Cook thinks will be beneficial. IVOX BY AZMOX. The Stallion Won by a Nose Great Ex citement. New York, June 5. C. M. Kellogg'3 New York stallion Azmon won a good race to-day at Fleetwood park, defeat ing the fast mare Island Girl and all the other circuit flyers of the 2:18 class in straight heats. Island' Girl started a favorite on the strength of her bril liant performance at the Brooklyn meeting last week, but she pulled too hard to last and Azmon had not much trouble to outfinish her after the first heat. In the opening mile Island Girl led all the way to within a few yards of the wire, Azmon trotting in second position. The stallion came on with a brilliant burst of speed in nose and nose amid great excitement. Jettie displayed more speed than any other horse in the race, but her driver, John Turner, apparently wanted second money only and he got it by outfinishing Island Girl in the last two heats. John Kinney made no visible effort to win the 2:30 race with the fast gray gelding Grateful until the judges warn ed him just before the third heat in off hand style. Miss Anne took a record of 2:19 in the first winning heat of her turf career, but she was not in condi tion to last out the race to the end. Newsboy won the match race for pac ers. SEWS OV COXXECTICUT. Latest by Wire From All Parts of the State. Patrick Farreil, of Stamford, aged thirty, late an orderly at Kimball's san itarium, shot himself last night in the abdomen while despondent. George W. Phelps, aged fifty-three, a retired banker of Winsted, died last night. He was president of the Hurf burt bank, Winsted, for years. Waterbury is fighting out the traders license cases, for it is expected that if the city is finally compelled to reim burse Goldsmith, many other persons who took but licenses under the same law will demand, that their fees be re turned. The directors of the Naugatuck Val ley baseball league met in Torrington yesterday morning to take final action in the disputed Torrington and Winsted game partly played In Torrington on Memorial daj They decided that the Winsted club should pay a fine of $25 for leaving the grounds and lost the game, and that the Winsted club shall receive the gate receipts of the .Memo rial day games after Torrington and Winsted have played a free admission game in Torrington. Fourteen horses belonging to Livery man R. N. Clark at East Berlin were stricken with cerebro spinal meningitis yesterday and four have died. Veterin arians are investigating the cause. The hearing on the motion to dissolve the injunction obtained by the New England road against the Central Rail way and Electric company of New Brit ain and the Newington Tramway com pany was continued in the superior court to-day before Judge. Ralph Wheeler. The trolley companies pro duced many witnesses to show that great hardship would ensue if the roads were not allowed to build as projected. The arguments were made this after noon. Upon this hearing depends the building of a trolley line between Hart ford and New Britain, which the New England road is opposing because of the alleged paralleling of Its track. Judge Roiinson in the superior court at Hartford yesterday granted a tem porary injunction restraining the city of Hartford from turning water into the $250,000 intercepting sewer which will run along the bank of the Park river and divert water as well as the sewage from the river. The plaintiffs, the Daniels Mill company, own a valuable water mill privilege on the river and al lege that the diversion of the water by the sewer will damage them $100,000. The Injunction does not stop the work of constructing the intercepting sewer, but will restrain the diversion of the water from the Park river until the damages are ascertained and the pay ment guaranteed. The matter of dam ages now goes to the court 131 MIDDLEBURX. Found Unconscious and Dying. Waterbury, June 5.

It Says That the Bill Takes Awny From the Secretary of the Treasury the Power to Borrow Either Gold or Silver to Main tain the Coin Redemption Fund Re ported Back With Recommendation That It Be Not Passed. 5 Washington, June 5. Mr. Dingley of Maine of the ways and means commit tee, presented the report of the major ity on the senate bill to "prohibit the further issuance of interest-bearing bonds." The report points out that the bill proposes to repeal so much of the resumption act as authorizes the sec retary of the treasury to borrow money to maintain the redemption fund. It shows that the plenary power embodied In the resumption act was given to the -secretary not only because the knowl edge that he had such flower would inspire confidence In the public credit, but also because exigencies for the re plenishment of the fund would arise when congress was not in session. The report says to deprive the secre tary of the power to borrow. -for- the maintenance of the redemption fund when there has been for three years a large deficiency of revenue raises the query whether It isnot the deliberate intention of the promoters of this bill to plunge the government into repudia tion and depreciate the greenbacks. The report answers the various excuses put forth for the passage of the bill arid criticises the senate for failing to pass the financial and revenue measures passed by the house. In the course of, this argument it says: Our criticism of the secretary of the treasury is not that he has used the re deemed United States legal tender notes to meet the deficiency in the absence ot the revenue and authority to borrow for that distinct object, but that the admin istration and secretary have refused tot recognize the fact that the revenue ia still insufficient to meet the expendi tures, and have discouraged all stepsi to provide sufficient revenue. The re port further says: "Practically the bill takes away from the secretary of the treasury the power to borrow either gold or sliver to main tain the coin redemption fund, in tha face of the fact that the government owns only 28,000,000 silver dollars and a little over 100,000,000 gold that can be used for redemption purposes. The in evitable result of such a reckless course: would be repudiation by the govern ment, depreciation of the currency ami cuch a panic In the country as was nev er before experienced." , . The bill was reported back ,with a recommendation that it be not passed.
