LftST HOURSJFTHE SENATE
Proceedings Unusually- Dull,
Even for This Body.
WORK BY FITS MD STARTS
One iteccsf Followed Another.
Everybody Seemed to lie Watting
for the Crucial Event of the Day.
KcHolutiotiH of Thanks to the Vice
President and Mr. Frye.
At 8 a- m., the time lo which the recess
was taken, the Bun was shining in a cloud
less sky, giving assurance of splendid
weather for the Inauguration. Admittance
to the north wing of the Capitol was only
obtained through the presentation at one
of the outer doors of a card entitling the
bearer to entrance; and as those cards, were
restricted to newspaper men and to others
whose bubincss required their presence in
the Senate wing, very few could avail them
selves of that privilege.
The Senate chamber had been coiit
plctely metamorphosed during the three
hours or recess. The heavy, dark red,
morocco-covered chairs, ot Senators had
all been removed and had been replaced
by three or four times the same number
or small ash chairs, some cane bottomed,
but most of them wooden bottomed, placed
closely together and filling all the angles
of the room. Only Inside of the front
row of desks were t-ome dozen large
ami chairs, designed fpr the use ot the
dignitaries who were to take part In the
ceremonies of the day. Every spec
tator was excluded from the galleries
while the finishing touches were being
given to the arrangements or the floor.
The recess was extended, if not by con
sent, at leabt by the non-appearance ot
any Ecnators,rrom8 to 8:30. At that tunc
Senator Carter took the chair as presiding
officer, called the Senate to order in the
p-rson of Senator Stewart, who was en
gaged In looking over the morning news
paper, and on whose motion the recess
was extended till 9 a in.
WhcnthlBaction wastaken the only other
persons In the chamber besides those two
Senators were the Journal clerk, the chief
clerk, Mr. Shuey.thc official stenographer,
the assistant doorkeepers, and a dozen
young pages. When the Senate really did
re-convents the only necessary business
remaining undisposed of wasthe conference
report on the deficiency bill which had not
!een presented. No action had been taken,
or was likely to be taken, on the Presi
dent's -eto of the immigration bill.
At i) a. m the chair was again taken
l.y Mr Carter. One or the House clerks ap
peared with the sundry civil appropriation
bill, signed by the Speaker and requiring
the signature of the Vice rresiclcnt.
This was promptly obtained, and the bill
was dispatched to the rretident for his ac
tion. There were then not more than hair
a dozen Senators present among them Mr.
Tillman, who remarked that he perceived
the absence of a quorum. As the remark
was in the nature of a joke, the usual "call
of the Senate'' did not follow.
At 9 -10 Mr. Hale presented the con
ference report on the general deficiency
bill It merely gave the amendments by
number on which an agreement had been
reached and of those on which the con
ference committee had been unable to
agree. The latter were more numerous
than the former. The report was agreed
to, but the usual request for a further con
ference was not made.
The gallery doors were not opened until
10 o'clock, and then the crowds who had
been waiting, with tickets of admission,
flowcdlnand soonevcryseat wasoccupied,
except in the sections reserved for the
diplomatic corps and for the families of
Senators About tills time Mr. Carter
vacated the chair, and Vice i'rcstdentStev
enson occupied it. After a little while,
however, heyleMed it to Mr Hoar, when a
lesolullon was offered My Mr. Morrill, and
was unanimously adopted, tendering to
the Vice President the thanks of the
Senate for the "dignified, impartial and
courteous' manner In which he had pre
sided over the deliberations of the Senate
A rerolutlon to the same effect was of
fered by Mr. Faulkner, thanking Mr. Frye,
as president.
By 11 o'clock the diplomatic gallery had
begun to fill up. The wife of the Chinese
minister, Madame Yang Yu, occupied the
front seat to the extreme left; and behind
her sat Mr Sze, one of the attaches. Both
wore their native costume: the lady being
attired in bright silks, with large red
flowers in her toque. She appeared to take
a licly interest in the 6ceue, occasionally
leaning over the balustrade and peering
down upon the assemblage. Many of the
other occupants of the diplomatic galleries
were ladies of the families of ministers and
attaches.
Ouecn Llluokalanl came into the diplo
matic gallery at 11-15, attended by her
secretary, Mr, Palmer, ana they took
seats three rows back of Madame Yang Yu.
At 11 o'clock the labor commission uiu,
enrolled and signed by the Spenser, was
received from the House and was signed
by the Vice President and dispatched to
the President protein , the terms usea neing
"courteous, dignified, and able."
At 10:30 a message was received from
the House stating that that body had
agreed to the Senate amendments to the
lalor commission bill. -
Mr. Hoar offered an amendment which
was agreed to, for the appointment of a
committee of two Senators to join a
like committee on the part of the House
to wait ontbe President ottheUnited States
and inform him that both houses, having
concluded the business ot the present
session, were ready to adjourn unless
lie should have some further communication
to make.
Senators Hoar and Brlce were appointed
on the part of the Senate.
Then followed the inaugural ceremony.

HALF A HUNDRED INJURED
PnsHlng Electric Cnr "Wrecked and
Adjoining Ituildiiigg Itadly Dam
aged Partial Liht of Dead and
Disabled Accident Occurred ut
Treuiunt and lloylbtoti Streets.
Boston, March 4. An explosion lias just
occurred in the subway excavation at the
corner of Trcraont and Ooylston streets.
Three electric cars that were passing
at the time were wrecked and one ot
them was burned. Several bulldingsin the
vicinity were more or less damaged.
The explosion was caused by escaping
gas.
Among the buildings damaged are the
Hotel Pclliam, the Knickerbocker and
Head buildings and the Masonic Temple.
Window glass in buildings within 200
feet of the scene of the explosion were
shattered.
At least twelve persons were killed.
Four bodies have been removed to un
dertaking' rooms.
Forty-two persons arc at the Emergency
Hospital.
Among the dead are:
Rev. W. A. Slack, professor at Tufts Col
lege. G. I). Bigclow, conductor.
Unknown man and woman.
The injured include James Reardon, John
J. O'Conuor, Thomas F. Ford, Mrs. J. R.
Wilson, Nellie Jackson, Lucy Dolan, F.
W. Tceling, and Mrs. F. A. reck
There seems to be no doubt thatatleast
eight persons were immediately killed.
The explosion came Jutt as the streetcars
were almost in the ceutcr of the space at
the corner.
The first car was In the center when the
explosion came. The whole of the wood
work, which is used as a bridge over the
subway, was lifted into the air, carrying
the first car with it and taking along the
two horses of the second car. The other
Tehlcles were lifted straight into the air,
but came down on the tracks. Instantly
the air was filled with flying debris.
The firat electric car, the one in which
most or the killed were riding, no sooner
reached the track than It broke in hair,
and the whole portion Immediately burst
into flame. Then someone sounded a fire
alarm. This brought a large rescue force
to the scene, and almost immediately calls
were being sent out hurriedly for the am
bulances. It was an awful Eight that met the gaze
of those who were first on the scene. In
the center was the long blazing electric
car. .Close beride this were the bodies ot
the two horses killed instantly, and about
ten, twenty, thirty feet away from where
the woodwork of the car was blazing lay
the dead and wounded people. Those who
wore not injured in the cars on Boylston
6treet were Incapable ot action
at first, and people in the buildings and
stores surrounding did not know what had
occurred, but it did not take them long
to secure their senses, and almost imme
diately there was a rush to the assistance
ot the wounded.
It is stated that there was not a person
on the three cars who was not injured, and
all the wounds received were severe. Im
mediately stores and offices were con
verted into temporary hospitals until am
bulances could arrive. 1 1 was a gruesome
spectacle to see these bodies exposed on
the sidewalks.
Hose carriages were pressed into service
as ambulances, and immediately they were
started on their humane duty or getting the
maimed to the hospitals.
It Is supposed that-one of the dead women
at Jones' undertaking rooms Is Mrs. A. M.
Bates. She was out wlth a sister this
morning and has not returned. The sister
returned home slightly injurcd

ANOTHER MISS PAST
1 i
Pleasantly the Fifty-fourth End
ed in tho House.
MORNING SPENT -IN WAITING
:Labor Commission Bill Got Through,
Bnt the General Deficiency Fail
edDuring the Closing Hours
Only Few Members We re Present.
' Tlianlts to the Sjieulter.
When tiie House was calletl to order at
8:30 a. m., but two members, Messrs. Dal
zell and Dockery, were present, though a
few others straggled in shortly.
The enrollment or the sundry civil bill
was announced.
The time intervening for an hour or
two was passed in practical recess, wait
ing for the Senate to report its action upon
the deficiency bill.
The "beggarly array ot empty benches'
in the galleries was in striking contrast
with the mass of humanity struggling for
place in them last night. But the attrac
tion ot-the House had departed, and prac
tically all interest centered in the Senate.
At 10:05 o'clock a message was received
from the Senate announcing Its action on
the deficiency appropriation bill and the
labor commission bill.
Mr. Phillips, author of the latter meas
ure, moved that the House concur in the
Senate amendments, which was agreed to,
amid applause, .after the amended bill hud
been read.
Mr. Dligley offered the customary reso
lution, which was agreed to, to appoint
a committee of three to join a similar
committee of the Senate to wait on the
President and inform him that Congress,
having completed Its labors, was ready to
adjourn sine die, unless he had something
further to communicate to It. The Speaker
appointed as such committee Messrs, Dal
zcll, Orosvenor and Sayers.the author ot
the resolution asking to be excused from
service.
The history of the negotiations between
the conferees of the House and Senate" on
the deficiency bill-was recited to the House
by Mr. Cannon for the purpose of showing
why the House conferees would not con
sent to the Insertion in the bill ot the
appropriation to pay the Bowman end
other claims added by the Senate. He
said it was the belief ot the conferees
and he honed it would be the policy ot
the House that these bills should be con
fined to appropriations for meeting tl-c
current expenses of the government aud
to pay legal claims, (Applause.) The amount
Involved In the items ot difference was
about $3,000,000.
Replying to Mr Cannon, Mr. Rlchnrdson
criticised the treatment accorded these
claims. He nsserted that the gentleman
from Illinois had loaded the appropriation
bills' with amendments that were- not in
order under the rules, and said he ought
not to condemn thoe in favor of the pay
ment of the Bowman claims in the House
and elsewhere for attempting to do that
which he and his committee had flagrantly
done. Referring, to the item for the sol
diers' home Ju ,Danvllle, III., Cannon's
home, Mr. Rlchar.dson said people iu glass
houses ought not to throw t tones,
Mr. Cannon, with much vigor and heat,
rejected the Insinuation, which, be said,
was contained' in the gentleman's ic
marks. .
"if he has any charge to make against
me In my representative capacity, let him
do so openly and like a man." (Applause).
Mr. Rlchardsomlisclalrnedanylntcntloti to
reflect upon Mr. Cannon and the incident
closed. The conference report was agreed
to.
The chair announced the appointment
or Mr Xorthwayasa member of the joint
committee to Investigate the charities of
the District of Columbia In place of Mr.
Blue rehigned
Mr. Cannon moved that the House fur
ther insist upon its disagreement to the
remaining items in difference.
Mr. Bingham of Pennsylvania demanded
a separate vote upon each amendment,
the effect of which was to keep the bill
before the House.
Mr. Bingham withdrew his demand for
a separate vote on the amendments, and
at 11:10 Mr Cannon's motion to further
disagree and consent to a conference was
agreed to, alnld uon.e laughter over the
gross Improbability or anything being
accomplished.
At 11:45 Mr. Payne, Speaker pro tern.,
called Mr. Dockery to the chair.andhis ap
pearance there was greeted with applause
by Republican members. The floor was
filled with Representatives, and for the
first time this week there was an intense
voluntary quiet as Mr. McMHIln rose to In
troduce a resolution ot thanks to Speaker
Reed for the courtesy, rhlelity and im
partiality with which he had presided over
the deliberations ot the House.
On motion of Mr. Livingston the question
was decided by a rising vote, the entire
body ot Representatives rising with much
enthusiasm. The result or the "vote was
announced by Speaker pro tern. Dockery
amid applause on all sides. Speaker Reed
was summoned from his room, and as he
came in the members rose to their feet,
applauding as they did so.
He remained on the steps a moment, while
Mr. Dockery announced the action of the
House to him. The Speaker's r -lally
impassive race betrayed something or the
emotion which he rclt. His voice, how
ever, was rirm as he returned his thanks
ror the expression of good-will contained
in the resolution. He sad:
The scene andtemper of the final ac- "rn
ment of the Fit tv-fourth Congresc in
marked contrast with thre of the Fifty
first Congress, when Mr. Reed was con
cluding his firstsfevice as Speaker. Then,
owing to tho partisan rancor which had
manifested itself at various times during
the Congress, no member of the minority
would offer the. usual resolution of thanks
to the Speaker, for his administration of
the duties ot the chair. Today all that was
changed.
Tn the course of this Congress Speaker
Beed's conduct and attitude toward pub
lic matters have'frequently been referred
to by Democratic members in terms ot
praise, and Mr.McMlllin, the leader of
the mlnoiity, 'presented the resolution
ot thanks and supported it in a brief
Bpeech commending the Speaker, couched
In the wannest tprms.
In response to 'the resolution declaring
the House adjourned sine die. Speaker
Beed said:
"Gentlemen of (he House of Representa
tives Two years ago you were summoned
to your share of a legislative work which
could not be' otherwise than disagreeable,
disappointing and unsatisfactory; for it
involved a dibtnal struggle-to adapt a nar
rowing income to the growing wunts of a
great nation; growing to be still greater.
You were, mostof you, untricdln yournew
vocation. How others have performed
their share of the task It is not for us to
6ay,
"But It is proper for me to say that your
share of the divided duty has been per
formed with so much readiness and good
sense; that even among the aspQiities of a
heated campaign there was no room for
any attack upon the House of Representa
tives. "I am sincerely grateful' for the kind
expression or your confidence and esteem;
but I am still more gratcful.for tiie daily
kindness and good will on the part of every
member on brCn sides ot the House? To all
of you, then, gentlemen of all parties, I
offer tho sincere expression ot the highest
personal regard. "
It was just 11:55 as he concluded and
declt)"' 'the present House ot Represtatrt
atives adjourned without day."
The members of the House immediately
formed in line and proceeded to the Sen
ate chamber, to take part in the inaugural
ceremonies.
FOR AN J3XTRA SESSION.
President McKinley "Will Issue His
Proclamation for It Tomorrow.
President McKinley will tomorrow issue
his proclamation for an extra session. It
will be called to meet March 15, which
falls on a Monday.
At the dinnergiven last night at Mr. John
Hay's, the PreSldent-elecl was asked about
this extra session, and the suggestion was
made that he set the day for Saturday,
March 20.
"Ko,"said Mr. McKinley with art emphasis
that indicated his fixed determination,
"I hare concluded that the best interests
of the country demand that we should get
to work at the earliest practical moment,
Ten days will intervene between the call
and the assembling of the Cgress, and
that will be sufficient to enable members
to reach Washington. I will issue the call
for the session Friday."
GEX22RAX, DEFICIENCY BILL.
It "Will Fall to Become a Law-Orer-loaded
"With Ainendmants.
The general deficiency bill will fall to
become a law. This was conceded this
morning by the conferees on the part ot
both Bouses., when, at 0.45, it was de
cided to muke a disagreeing report.
This bill contains a great many Items,
but none of them Is so important from a
public standpoint that unusual efforts
should be made to press the bill through.
It was loaded heavily in the Senate at
the last moment, about $000,000 of mis
cellaneous claliro being added, and an
other .sum ot like amount grouped under
the Bowman act.
The only item that inconveniences the
public is the deficiency for the collection
ot customs, and the conferees agreed this
morning that this should be taken care of
by Joint resolution at the extra session.
All the other appropriation bills arc now
out or the way and in the hands ot the
President. The sundry civil bill was en
rolled at 7 o'clock this morning, and was
senttothePresidentlngood time.

Costly Typographical Errors.
(From the Kansas City Star.)
A single type dropped from one ot the
forms ot a Pittsburg paper a few days
ago and it cost the paper just $405. A dry
goods firm there advertised a special sale
of ladies' wrappers at 98 cents. It was
the figure 9 that dropped out while the
forms were being handled. A tremendous
crowd of women were at the store early
the next morning, some coming shortly
after daybreak, to get these wonderfully
cheap 8-ccnt wrappers. The firm realized
that a seriouB error was made, but It
kept faith with its patrons. Every wrapper
in the house was sold at a big loss, and a
bill for S405 was then sent to the uews
paper. . It paid It without protest.

BREAKING OP POKER GAMES
For a month or to past the gcod wives
of Riley, Ind., and vicinity have noticed
that their husbands were spending an
unusual number of evenings away from
home. Quiet investigation revealed that
the men on such occasions were em
ployed in plajing poker. This was a state
of things not to be endured and the women
folks decided on reformatory measures.
A Mrs. Baker volunteered to make the
first move. The next night her husband
stajed away from home she suddenly
called at the room and, figuratively speak
ing, led her husband home by the ear.
Next night Mrs. William Jones called
at the room. She was denied admittance
when she knocked at the dtor, but, having
anticipated this, she had prepared for
forcible entrance. She had with her a
hatchet, and it was but a moment until
she had the door off Its hinges. The
husband was there and-he meekly accom
panied his wife home.
A couple ot evenings later Mrs Brown,
In the same township, received her hus
band with menacing gestures when he
came home late with some companions.
The next day he was not seen and the
next he failed to appear at his work about
his fjrm. Some of his friends, who were
apprehensive that he had been severely
dealt with, sent a delegation to the house,
but they met the wife at the door and
she sent them off with a warning to keep
away from her house and her husband.
A few days later, the captured husband
still failing to appear, some of his friends
came to the city to consult the prose
cuting attorney about legal proceedings
for his rescue. Nothing was done, how
ever, and in a day or two Brown was
again at work on the farm He hasn't
been "out at nights" since, and the mar
ried men of the neighborhood have about
concluded that the seductive game must
be given the go-by for a time at least.
Scorned the Mining Stock.
About two weeks, ago a miner offered
Morris Yenzel, a Moscow, Idaho, tailor, a
handful ot mining stocks for a suit of
clothes. Yenzel refused and said that five
years ago a miner gave him 5,000 shares of
stock, then supposed to be worth a cent a
share, for a suit ot clothing. He never
realized anything on the stock. A lew
days later Yenzel went to the suspended
Moscow National Bank for an Insurance
policy and some other papers deposited
there, among wjilch he found the missing
5,000 shares or Lerol stock, now quoted at
$8 per share, with accrued dividends. The
Lerol mine owners have been negotiating
with an English syndicate for the sale of
the property, but the latter declined to ac
cept the mine without the transferor every
share of stock so far Issued. This lot
of 5,000 was long advertised for, but now
there will be no obstacle to the sale of the
property if the owners come to Ycnzel's
terms. He demands S20 a share, or $100,
000 for the whole, and will probably get it.
To Core Insomnia Quick.
A Swedish servant maid, finding that
her mistress was troubled with sleepless
ness, told her of a practice of the people
of her country who were similarly af
flicted It was to take a napkin, dip it in
icc cold water, -wring It slightly and lay
It across her eyes. The plan was followed
and it worked like a charm. The first
night the lady slept four hours without
awaking something she bad not done
before for several months. At the end of
that time the napkin had become dry.
By wetting it again she at once went to
sleep and it required considerable force
to rouse her in the morning.

One of the most romantic stories of love

policeman, who, in his bravery in stopping
a runaway horse, won the lady's affec
tions and a large part of her estate, which
she has made over to him since he became
her husband. If love at first sight was on
the lady's side only, she toot a practical
and, from generally understood principles,
a politic way of winning a return of affec
tion. In a hansom she was In the habit
of following the brave policeman over his
beat with a supply of provisions to re
fresh him When she was not able to per
form the labor of love, a servant took her
place. All this, much to the delight of the
officer's brother workers.
