Mr. Leland Arranges Matters so that the
Bank's Creditors Will Not Suffer.
NEW York, Feb. 1. President Edward
Kiur, of the Union Trtist company, made
a .statement this afternoon as follows: "I
desire to state that in my opinion none
who know Mr. Leland could question his
entire good f.iithaud honesty of purpose
in the matter of the sale of the stock. He
feels, however, that an error of judgment
was committed by him in not receiving
sufficient assurances as to the standiug
and capability of the persons to whom he
sold, although at the lime he did sell he
Had perfect faith that they were as repre
sented to him and that therefore through
this want of possible care on his part inno
cent parties haw been placed in a position
to sutl'er loss. Hence as a man of integrity
and honor he frels th it it is proper
for him to do all in his power to save them
from the consequence of his act. He sent
for me last evening and requeued me to do
what 1 could to aist him in effecting this
object. The first thing to be done is to
pay the depositors in full and this is in
process of arrangement. Mr. Leland has
Handed me a blank check to my order to
be filled out for such amount as I deem
neco-sary in order to guarantee the p.ij
ment in full of the depositors of the bank,
and at the suggestion of Mr. Tappm I
have filled it out for ioOO.000 -nd hae de
posited that sum in the Gallatin National
bank as a guarantee to syndicate which
hds been formed to take the assets of the
bank and to provide for immediate pay
ment of the depositorsas soon as the neces
sary formalities at Washington can be
gone through with. There remains then
the minority stockholders to be considered
and, as I have said, Mr. Leland desires to
do all that a sensitive man of honor can
do and he has said he will be guided by the
advice of myself and other friends in rela
tion to this matter."

THE RAILROADS PLEA.
KANSAS CITT, Mo.. Feb. L The rail
roads in declining to make tbe emergency
corn rate demanded by the farmers of
Kansas and Nebraska, claim that they can
not afford to materially cut tbe present
tariff and in addition maintain that a
lower rate would not result in givinc the
; made in freight will be followed by a ccr-
responding cut in the price P4" or corn.
They cite as a demonstration nf this the-
ory the fact that cattle dealers have not
proSited any by tho reduction in cattle
rate?;, but that nnees have fallen of! in
Chicago so that the producer receives ex
actly the same for his stock that he did
before the reduction in freight. The rail
roads claim that the dressed beef men are
reaping a harvest from this cut and ex
press the belief thai a corresponding re-
auction in tee corn rate would accrue to
I the profit of tbe grain brokers only.

THE DEMOCBATS ADHERE TO THE
CAUCUS DECISION.
Three Speeches Made on the Smith
Jackson Case, Despite the
JTilibusteriD?:.
Each Side Allowed Three Hours at Mon
day's Session in Which to Present
the Points in the Case.
Scenes Similar to Those of the Three
Preceding Days Ee-Enacted, but
With Less Turbulence Senator
Farwell Explains the Presi
dent's Independent Course
on the Appointment
of Chicago's
Collector.
"Washington; Feb. 1. Tho gallaries,
though pretty well filled at the hour of
meeting today, did not present the jammed
appearance of yesterday. Nevertheless,
it was the understanding among members
that the Democrats would persist in their
tactics and obstruct, as far as possible, all
legislative proceedings so long as there is
no regular body of rules to govern them.
The speaker, at the closa of prayer, di
rected the clerk to read the journal of yes
terday. One of the reading clerka pro
ceeded to do so, but when he came to the
phrase "yeas and nays and so forth,;' Mr.
McMillin interrupted and required that
the reading be in lull.
"Does the gentleman," said the speaker,
"desire the rending of the names?"
"1 do," wa3 Mr. McMilliu's response,
and the speaker ordered that to be done.
THE JOOKNAL READ IN FULL.
The clerk started off again and rushed
through the names at railroad speed. The
journal embraced the full stenographic
report of tho speaker's explanation
yesterday in reply to Mr. By
num's question of personnl privilege,
including the points of general applause,
etc. The reading was closed at 11:20 and
instantly Mr. Springer was on his feet
with a motion to correct the journal.
Mr. McKlnley was not so precipitate
but he got up slowly and moved that the
journal be approved, calling for the pre
vious question on that motion.
The speaker recognized Mr. McKinley's
motion, entirely ignoring Mr. Springer,
but Mr. Springer was not to be ignored
and he immediately mado a motion to ad
journ, "In view of the fact," he said, "that
we have no rules."
"The gentleman from Illinois." said the
speaker blandly, "is out of order in mak
ing any remarks on a motion tp adjourn.
The question now is, 'Shall the house ad
journ?' "
He put the question to the house, but
several Democrats demanded the yeas and
nays and that intereatiug exercise was pro
ceeded with.
The Democrats did not refrain from
voting and consequently it was not nec-
cessary for the speaker to keep his little
memorandum ot members present and not
veting.
Mr. McMillin demanded that the reca-
Situiation of the vote ba read. That also
elped to consume time and it was 1 by
the clock when the result was announced
which says: Yeas 135, nays 158.
So the house refused to adjourn.
A QUORUM WITHOUT TIIEIR TOTES.
Finally the speaker announced the call
for the previous question on Mr. McKin
ley's motion to approve the journal of yes
terday. The yeas and nays were demanded
by Mr. McMillin, and were ordered. Dem
ocrats refrained from voting and it became
necessary for the speaker to note the
names of those who were present and who
declined to vote. As the speaker rose to
announce the result of the vote Mr. Dock
ery asked whether it was not proper to
have the pairs announced.
The speaker The chair thinks that the
time being occupied precludes the an
nouncement of pairs.
Mr. Dockery It seems to me that it
would be simply an act of justice.
The speaker It would be an act of sim
ple justice if there were time, but inas
much as many sick men are being kept
here by the proceedings indulged in it
would seem unkind to them.
Mr. McMillin As I urn one of the men
reflected upon by the speaker's remark I
should say that nothing is leing indulged
in which the constitution does not au
thorize. Mr. Springer The chair should let the
sick people go home, Laugoter.
The speaker then read from hi list the
names or a number of Democrats who
were present but declined to vote. He
announced the following as the vote: yeas
161. nay 0.
Shouts of "no quorum" from the Demo
cratic side, but the speaker pid no atten
tion to to them and aid: "There being a
constitutional quorum present the chair
man declares tn.it the previous question is
ordered. The question is now on the mo
tion that the journal of yesterday be ap
proved." Mr. Springer interjected a motion to ad
journ but the chair declined to entertain
the motion.
Mr. Hoiman demanded the yeas and
nay.
The same performance as in tbe last vote
was repeated, and the speaker announced
the journal approved.
THE CONTEST CASE TAKEN UP
Mr. Rowell called up the Smith-Jackson
election case from the Fourth West Vir
ginia district and Mr. Crisp raised tbe
question of consideration.
The speaker The chair declines to en
tain the question of consideration.
Mr. Crisp I appeal from the decision of
of the chdir.
The speaker The chair declines to en
tain tbe appeal.
Mr. Crisp Then under protest I will
proceed.
Mr Springer 1 rise to a parliamentary
inqnin.
'i he speaker The gentleman from Geor
gia wiil proceed.
Mr. Spinger I desire to ask when a mo
tion to adjourn would be la order
Tbe peakT Tne chair said yesterday
he would indicate when tbe proper time
came. Laucbter.j
Mr. Crisp offered 3 a substitute for the
resolutions of the majority of tbe elections

commutes declaring that Smith fats cot

Vet Virginia and that Jackson cad been

with the aid of the speaker, to force tiiem
into tbe consideration oi an election (
case. Mr. Crisp then defended tbe j
coarse of his de of the boua. 1
justifying it parties larly oa tbs press re-1
ports of the recent Republican caucus to
the effect that this and other election
cases were to be disposed of under general
parliamentary -law, in order to increase
the Republican majority and that then
the ricidity of the new code was to be
relaxed.
Mr. Crisp then proceeded to argue the
contested election case
MR. ROWELL TAKES THE FLOOR.
At the close of Mr. Crisp's areument
Mr. Rowell took the floor. He said he was
glad to find out at last why the time of
the house had been wasted for many days.
Now he (Mr. Rowell would call attention
to another newspaper statement published
widely so long ago as September last and
published by the authority of the Demo
cratisjeader of the houst ths.c it was tne
intention of the minority side to resist
by every means known to parliamentary
law tne unseating of any Demo
cratic member whose seat was contested,
and that, too, without reference to tbe
right or wrong of the case. Mr. Rowell
then went on to discuss the facts in the
contested election case in support of tho
resolution that Smith is entitltd to tbe
seat and that Jackson, the sitting mem
ber, is not. Mr. Rowell spoke until 5:S0
(there being no longer any time rule in the
house).
Then there was a motion to adjourn
made on the Democratic side, but it was
voted down by a viva voce vote and Mr.
O'Ferrall proceeded with an argument m
favor of ,Tackon's right to the c.t
After Mr. O'Farrell had been 8jk .king
more than half an hour he stopped and
said that he had been just told that an ar
rangement had been made by which
the house was to adjourn at the
conclusion of his remarks. That being so
(and he did not care to speak to empty
benches) he suggested thai: he be allowed
to finish his remarks on Monday.
Several Republican members: "That is
fair."
On this there was much confusion in tho
attempt to ar.ive at an understanding as
to the length of debate and as to the time
ot taking the vote. But the effort did not
succeed and Mr. O'Ferrall was directed to
go on with his remarks.
Mr. O'Ferrall said that as the facts in
tho case were not known to members, he
would proceed to read from the pnutcd
record in the case, or ho would ask the
clerk to read it.
The speaker It can not be read.
Mr. O'Ferrall It can bo read as a part
of my speech.
The speaker It can not be rend.
Mr. O'Ferrall The chair will allow me
to read it as part of my reuaurks.
The 'pe-iker According to the rules now
governing this body gentlemen have no
right to read from u printed book.
There was considerable contest over the
point. Mr. O'Ferr.ill declared he would
rend the record in the case until he dropped
in his seat, and several of the Republicans
ridiculing this statement challenged him
to go on and do it. Finally, after much
confusion and excitement, it was r.greed
that each side should be allowed three
hours to debate on Monday, and with that
understanding (but none as to the time lor
taking the vote) tho house adjourned.
HAERISON'5 INDEPENDENOB.
Senator Parwell Tells How He Snubbed
the Entire Illinois Delegation.
Washington; Feb. L Senator Farwell
was questioned this evening as to tho
truth of the statement that tho nomina
tion of Mr. Clark as collector of the port
of Chicago was confirmed by the senate
in executive session last Thursday.
"Yes," roplied the senator, Mr. Clark
has been confirmed."
"With your consent?" was asked.
"Yes. I was not in the senate at the
time, but I consented to it. I could no
doubt have defeated the confirmation but
it would have availed nothing. It u ould
have resulted in punishing a worthy citi
zen, that is nlL The president's nomina-
tiou of Mr. Clark." he continued, "was a
very astonishing und unusual proceeding
and in making it he ignored the wishes of
the Illinois delegation and acted in aery
strange manner toward them. He did not
even consult any one of them. Mr. Camp
bell was not only tte choice of the entire
delegitton, but he was undoubtedlv the
choice of the people, and I construe Presi
dent Harrison's action in thh matter, hi9
refusal to appoint Mr. Campbell, as a de
liberate affront and no doubt he inteuded
it as such."
"How do you explain the president's
action?" was aked.
"W hy, I happened to be the chairman of
the Ilhuois delegation iii the last national
convention and held the delegation solid
for anumber of ballots forjudge Grcsham.
I can tee no other caus for hit ucuon. He
seeius to think that the offices belong to
him personally and not to the
people. Mr. Lincoln thought otherwise
Mr. Campbell w.is chairman of
our campaign committee and devoted
month-, of his time and his whole energies
for the election ot Mr. Harrison. Mr.
CInrk did not do this, but tiicn thu is Mr.
Hai non's w.iy of rewarding political
friends. I regret that ho tntertaniH nucb
notions for it results in a disruption of
the party to which he and I belong. It
seeun to me," continued the beuntor,
"that it is the duty of Uioie holding im
portant omcial positions to try to carry
out the wiL ol the people, but in this m.it
Ur Mr. Harrison has wholly ignored tnern
and no far as I remember tins li tbe first
inj-uftice in which the wishes of the entire
delegation in congrem from any one state
has been so completely disreearded."

Wellington. Kan., Feb. L Stata Sena
tor O. H. Bentley. W. R. Payne, Esq., and
Mr. W. D. McCormick, secretary of tho
Republican R- submission club, arrived
here this morning to gdt in readiness for
the great resubmission rally to ba held to
night. The local committee had requested
Prof. Rogers, the Sword of Buuker Hill
singer, of Wichita, also to bo present, but
those arriving say la grippe alone could
keep him away, . ,
It become generally known over ths
town today that there weru an abundance
of resubmission facts and oratoryjin readi
ness for the evening, and as a result there"
was considerable talk on the streets ami
in places of business over tho question and
the situation in Kansas. It may bo sakL
that long ago ninny of the Republicans
have beeeu in favor of resubmission and
here it is no new thing couio
from any where but in fact has been here
ever since there was cause for it and haH
been growing just as fast as the situation
inspired.
It was quite certain near the cloe of
business hours that Wood's opera hotiso
would be filled with an enthusiastic crowd.
At 7:80 tho Big Six band appeard on the
street and they lemmded one very much
of camp.ticn days. The inspiration cniised
young and old to step lighter and quicker
and very soon with their light and quick
stepping they were getting nearer tho
opera house. By 8 o'clock the hall failed
to show standing room and the ap
proaches were crowded. After a .selection
by the band Mr. Charles W. Olsie, n lead-,
