Special Dispatch to the InUlUg nicer.
Washington, D. 0., Fab. G.?To-day th
Houae of Representatives decided the It
diana Lowry-White contest in favor c
Mr. White by a vote of 18 to 105. Tb
caso bag been one of the moat interestin
ever before Congress. It may be bei
stated that of the committee reports, th:
of the majority was signed by all tb
Democrats in it except one. The R<
pnbliwia declared for White, thrt coa
tcstce, while the n ie dismtin-; Dame
crr.t cbacop'ocjd Jadge Lvwiy ou tb
strength ol a idle .'aw m urea iu inuicui
which declares that all votes cast for
candidate who is ineligible are vo!<
Judge Li wry ask^d to bo Heated by reaso
of that statute. Tno Election Comroitte
decided againBt White's eligibility, an
this, Mr. Lowry held, entitled him to th
Boat.
The gentleman thus planed on th
anxious Beat, is a resident of Fort Wayui
Indiana, and was elected by the Twolftl
district of that Stun*, lie whs born i
Stirlingshire, Scotland, in Jane, 1831
and receivod bis education in that lan
of good echoolB. In 1*54, Mr. White c-rc
to this country. He worked as a calic
printer and tailor until the breaking oc
of the war, when he sold his business an
enlisted in the Union army cs a privat
in the Thirteenth Indiana Volunteor.
He was elected Captain of his campanj
and did good Bervica for his adopte
country. At the bottle of flbiloh lie we
wounded, but was able to resume figh:
ing after a period of rest neccraitate
by his injury. He was honorably xnui
tered out of military service at th
close of the war, after taking part in eooi
of its moat important operations. M
White is now a manufacturer of carriog
wheels He was elected a member of lb
Common Council of the city of Fort Wayn
in the year 1874, nine years after the dat
when, as his friends allege, he received
certificate of fall naturalization. Th
difficulty In lite case was to determin
whether he was really a naturalised citijse
or not. In the election to the Fiftiet
Congrofia Mr. White reesivod nearl
twenty-live hundred more votes than M
Lowry. As is ongKoated by tho voto <
the Committee on Electionn, he is a R<
publican. Mr. Lowry is a Democrat an
claims that the district that elected M
White, is normally Deraocratio, and tlia
the Republicans won the seat oy rea*o
of temporary divisions in the opposU
camp. _____

A Lively Tilt la Ilia Htmiitn--rroceuillngit c
the House.
Washington, Fob. 0.?Mr. Hoar, froi
the 8elect Committee on tho Calebratio
of the Centennial of the Conatltutioi
reported a joint resolution providing, ii
addition to each othor celebrution m ms
hereafter bo provided for, "that the tw
Honseaof Congress shall meet in the ha
of the House of Representatives; th?
the Chief Justice of the United State
shall deliver an oration, and that tb
Preaideut of the United States and Jui
tices of the Saprome Court, the membor
of the Cabinet, tho Ereciives of the h<jv
eral States and Territories and ouch othe
persons aa tuny hereafter b* determine
upon, shall be invited to attend,
Mr. Hale aaked Mr. Hmr whether thor
was anything in the resiluw^u by wiiicl
Oongrees conld bo couaid^rod a) commit
ting itself in any form toagronfcinttustrifl
exposition in the city ol Washingtoi
Mr. Hoar replied that tho committee i
reporting the resolution had carefully r<
(rained from anything which would com
mit the Senate or Congress to any sue
plan.
Mr. Voorhees, a member of the aelei
committee, eaid that thero wae nothing i
the joint resolution committing any bod
to an exhibition. Whatevor might b
done in that direction, the pending res<
lation did not commit Congress to an
such line of action.
Mr. Hale said he did not ohjict to th
joint resolntion unless thero lurked in i
something more than he saw, nor did li
object to tho other branch of tho celebri
tlon (the commercial conference wit
South American SUtee), hot tho greaU
Juestion of a long continued National c
aternatlou&l Exposition to be hold I
Washington, or elsewhere, involved moi
serious considerations, uud should bo ?\
proached very carefnliy. Time ai*d plat
ehould beaalected with ciro.
HIDDLKHKRtiliK mao I a IIREAK.
Mr. Riddleberger said that the pendin
resolution involved an international am
ter, and, in viow of the (act that it eaonje
impossible for him to g h the Senate t
consider hi* resolutioa for an open so!
rjion is considering th9 British extraditio
treaty, he might be allowed to disease tb
1 subject in connection with tho ppndin
matter. He had an additional motive i
offering his resolution and that was I
draw from the Committee on foreign IV
' lations, the amendment which it ha
[ proposed to that treaty. He did not b
" lieve that a member of the Uopjraittee o
i Foreign Relations would rise in open no
i sion and advocate that ameijiwen
J Why, ho asked, coold he not have thi
amendment read to tho Senate and to th
: peopio of the United States? He anke
the chairman cf that committee [M
, Sherman] who had ou o?or? occasion ei
i deavored to bring np the extradition troat
. in execntive session, whether be woo
? not now rios gnd tell tho people what wi
x in thatameQdoje^i.
Mr. Sherman said that, r?eing thus pa
3 eonally appealed to. he felt it his duty
i maka a point of order oa the Senator iro
r Virginia. He did oo|with great rei octane
The Senator asked him whether he wou
f violate the rules of tho Senate andj
R what he [Sherman j regarded as being ii
proper and nnttentletaanly?in oth
e words, disclose the secret* of tho ffenat
o It was as much as if the Senator ask
s him whether he would steal or not. or
anything wrong, or against the law.
coorie 'he [Sherman] jcould not answer
the question; bat he made the oolnt of
order that the Senator from Virginia wag
_ himself violating the rales of the Senate. The
Presiding Officer?The Senator from
Virginia will not be permitted to proceed
a with any reference to matters pending in u
executive session. The Senator will proceed
in order.
Mr. Kiddleberger said he was accustomed
to rebukes, bnt he snpposed it wae
still understood that he had a right
to proceed in order?aboat the
only right he had. Tho matter
on which the presiding officer undertook p
to rale him down (as being In executive a
sessioD) was not in executive session. And g|
it would not go into executive session as K
long as there was a man on the floor to
objecttoit. It was better for the Commit- fc
ten on Foreign Relations snd it was in tho ti
office of the executive clerk of the 8snate. B
It had not got before the Senate in execn- .,
tive eeeiion, except so far as the Senator
frnm Ohm had he^n tiIaahaH tn (liftman "
himself. He appealed to the Senator n
whether he wa3 not corrcct on that point. j><
The presiding otlicer directed Air.
Riddleberger to suspend his remarks a?d
promptly pat the question on an amend- t]
ment oilered by Mr. Hale to strike out of ci
the joint resolution the introductory
phrase, as quoted. The amendment was l,
agreed to and the joint resolution passed. ?
LOGICAL TARIFF 8PBBC1I. Bl
Mr. Piatt proceeded to address the Son- J]
ate npon the President^ message. Is the
President a free trador? he asked. If he P
was he ought to be willing to be called
one. He had Bent to Oonuroea at its opening
tho most remarkable papar over ?
submitted to any Concrete by ti
a chief executive. No other d,
President had ever ignored all questions g(
but one. It was recognized first by the tt
whole Democratic party as a free trade
e document, and the press rang with state- e]
i- ments tbat tho President had forced the ;r
f issue of free trade versus protection to rc
the front and mado it tho issue of the C1
0 next Presidential campaign. The Kepub- 0;
g licans thought they for onco was going to a.
e have a fair tight, in which there was to be C(
t no evasion. A fow protection Damocrats, if
after thb first gush of admiration for the ai
e President, hud begun to realize that ti
?- something had hit them; they did jvj
[. r.ot know t-xacily what it was. tt
The Pr?nident had referred to the r?
'* import dutiep hs boing u Bchoine for tno 51
e benefit of the raanufHc'urera. The Prc1,
tectiofiiite denied it; and they insisted
a that whenever a duty was laid which oro
r tucted tho American manufacturer competition
among home producers always
n had brought down and always would bring
10 down the price of foreign articles less the 7*
d duty. Had the President heard of the e^
9 manufacture of steel rails? Did he know ^
that the duty on steel rails was $17 a ton, ?
0 and that steel rails had been sold in tho *
UnitcdStatesa9lowaa$2850;thatrandethe M
h price, without duty $11 50 a ton; and fa
? eteol rails could not be bought abroad at tt
> laaa than double that price, or practically t]
" so. So it was also as to clothing and even is
8 as to blankets which seemed to be the tt
0 terror of the free traders. The truth waa a(
that everybody except tho dude and the
" millionaire could be clothed cheaper in tt
c this country than in England?and in al
" woollen clothing, too, and he took it for yi
f? granted that the Senate was not partic- m
11 ularly anxious to legislate for the benefit b<
8 of the dudo aud millionaire. The Presi- of
t* dent had rolled as a sweet morsel under
d his tongue what he called the "immense
E* profit of tho manufacturer." F
0 This attack upon the manufacturers of
0 the couutry was too open, too plain, too
r? severe to be allowed to pats in silence. B
0 Were the manufacturers realising im0
moose profits? Were they the million- el
0 aires of the land ? Who had ever heard a L
0 manufacturer called a king? Yet they tt
0 heard of "cattle kings," and "wheat K
" kingu," and "iron kings," and "railroad Sfi
0 kings." So, too. they heard of "trusts,"
? and the Preoidont had referred to them. L
a There waa tho Standard Oil Truat, the
y creat* Gogobec Iron Truat and tho Goal
r* Trust, and yet thero was not a dollar of pj
" protection on anthracite coal or oil, and Rt
J* none on iron ore that would lead to the tt
d formation of a trust. oi
r- Mr. Piatt declared that either the Presi- w
dent in his message intended free trade ni
n or elso he was not dealing fairly with the C(
* American people, al
Wtthnnt liniahin? his aneecli Mr. Piatt m
I yielded for an Executive'session and the ai
Senate soon after adjourned. 0j
11 In th? iiouae.
n WA8UIKQTO.V, Jan. 6.?In the House tou
day Mr, White, of New York, rising to a Bi
question of privileges, sent to the clerk's *
Q' desk and had read an oxtract from the ?
Washington Neic? containing a reprint of hl
y a Washington special to the New York J
o Tribune. ?
II The special states that "Deacon" White P
has a private wire, one end of which is in ?_
the corridor of the House and the other ^
e ond in his business office in New York; D
I. that he is constantly sending and recoiving
g messages over this wire, and, while oc.
cupying a seat in the House, knows exr
actly what is going on in hiB office. This j)
j wire, says the special, costs Mr. White Br
many thousands a year, while no one ^
d knows how much more the privilege of tfc
u sitting in the House costs him. m
Mr. White said that as there waa that ^
,i in the article which, to a hypenvsthetic K?
mind miorhfc h* poniitriied bh a reflection k,
' upon hie character u a member of the P|
lloase, he would reul a special dispatch
. which he had sent to the Brooklyn papers,
h In tUia dispatch Mr. White denies emphatically
that he has a special wire be pi
,t tween Washington and New York, He si
refers to the lact that the Tribune article m
was copied In several papers, notably the o'
e Louisville Cmirur-Journal, which thns gave cl
"a free trade endorsement to a highly ai
"v protected lie," [Laughter.] There was 01
' not the slightest foundation for the story
0 ontslde of the imagination of a sensational
:? paragrapber. He states that the Tribunt y
. of yesterday pablished a dental of the
.. story, and express the hope that the free s,
h trade wing will be as Just, and see if the
wholo party combined can ovortake this _
lie, which had one week's start. | Laugh- T|

the payment of checks began, and in a

The directors remained in seosion until

elect Mr. Krohn Vice-President in place
of Mr. Decamp.

paid over the counter and about
$50,000 was paid in checks through the

The mills and yards are closely guarded
by sentinels and policemen, and no per*

premises, unless he can prove his business
there.
The strikers are very bitter and another
collision was feared when the non-union
men left the mill this evening. Those in
authority and those who have the coolest
heads advised the workingmen to not
molest nor interfere with the colored men,
but others cried for revenge. They
threatened death to the non-union men
and hinted at the tiring of the mill.
Young Kenna, who was shot on Saturday,
is believed to be out of danger.
When the hour arrived for the nonunion
workmen to quit work this afternoon
a large crowd of strikers and their
friends gathored in the vicinity of the
mill. The men were escorted to their
homes by the police in rquads of thirty.
They were followed by an immense crowd,
which hooted at the negroes and called
them "blacksheep" and "scabs." During
one of the trips the non-union
workmen were threatened to a shower of
stones, and for a few minutes it looked
dangerous, but the ollicers promptly turned
on the mob and drove them back, after
which they escorted the colored men to

Andrew Carnegie, the Pittsburgh million*
ionaire iron master, of ten or twelve newspapers
in various parts of Eogland, was a P'
matter of much comment in this country *?
and abroad. The purchases were made P'
four or five years ago. It was said that ^
Mr. Oarnegie intended "to go (or Parlia- w
ment," but if that was his intention it
the movement proved a failure. A
more plausible explanation was that he . .
was ambitious in a literary way, ^
and that through these publi* tic
cations he became widely known ?li
as a writer. Mr. Carnegie said a year or 0E
so ago, that the papers paid him a hand- .
some annual profit. It was, thorefore, a 01
surprise to learn from one of his intimate &
friends yesterday that he has sold all his gti
newspapers. Mr. Oarnegie says they DC
were a source of infinite trouble and J!
worry to him for which the profit he de*
rived was in no way compensatory. Mr. Ci
Carnegio has recently come out as an ad* an
vocate of extremes in the tariff revision, no

Carnegie's tendency to free trade, paid bu
