ries were ordered paid.

the afternoon. The Powderly dummy
was also Included In the recommenda
tion. The matter was passed for the
time.
Chairman Pearce of the gas commit
tee said the city’s gas bill was entirely
too large. He recommended a reference
of the matter to the mayor and the
chairmen of the fire and gas committees
for Investigation. So referred.

REPUBLICAN CAUCUS.
They Discuss the Message and Determine
to Support the President.
Washington, Dec. 18.—The republicans
in the senate held another caucus this
afternoon, at which the foreign affairs
of the country were discussed and mat
ters of detail connected with the com
mittee assignments considered.
On motion of Mr. Mitchell of Oregon,
chairman of the caucus committee, it
was decided to change the name of the
select committee to inquire into all the
claims of citizens of the United States
against the government of Nicaragua
to select a committee on the construc
tion of the Nicaragua canal and Increas
ing the number of the committee from
five to seven. The chairmanship will be
given to a democrat, Mr. Morgan being
the ranking man, and the democrats will
have three members, with the following
republicans as members: Messrs. Haw
ley of Connecticut, Mitchell of Oregon,
Squire of Washington and Sewell of New
Jersey.
Mr. Mitchell informed the caucus that
the democrats would not resist the reor
ganization of the committees, but that
the republicans must enlarge the demo
cratic representation on the committees
of appropriation and finance so as to
make the republican majorities on these
committees but one. In accordance with
the established custom of the senate,
this was agreed to, and these committees
will consist of thirteen. It was also re
ported that it would be impossible to re
organize any of the committees before
the holidays, the democratic committee
Insisting that it was impossible for them
to make their assignments in the short
time allotted to them. Mr. Gorman, it
was said, had earnestly endeavored to ar
rive at an understanding in regard to
the foreign relations committee, but his
associates on the committee refused to
consider the matter before the holidays.
The war feeling was just as apparent
as it was during the caucus of yester
day, and all of those who spoke took
strong ground In favor of upholding the
president and backing him in the en
forcement of the Monroe doctrine. Press
dispatches to the effect that Great Brit
ain was to secure the island of Cuba ei
ther by purchase or by exchanging Gi
braltar, caused the discussion to take a
turn in that direction. The prevailing
sentiment on this matter was that if
England sought to get possession of Cu
ba. or Spain sought to dispose of the
island, such act would be accepted as
a declaration of war. The Island must re
main as the property of Spain, or it must
be given its independence. In the hands
of any other power it would be a menace
to the United States, and if such an af
front to this government was attempted
the republicans assert that this govern
ment must fight.
The temper of the republicans who
took part in the debate and of those who
did not speak, but who Indorsed what
was said, shows that the president will
receive the hearty co-operation of the
majority party in the senate and that his
foreign policy in this matter is thorough
ly and manfully supported.
English Comments.
London, Dec. 18—Despite their publica
tion of leaders assuming that President
Cleveland’s message Is merely an elec
tion move, most of the newspapers print
articles summing up the war strength of
the United States. The St. James Ga
zette publishes a list of the British war
ships now in American waters, together
with their dimensions, etc., which is fol
lowed by a list of vessels composing the
United States navy, giving also their
capacity, etc. The Westminster Gazette
has an article showing the numerical
strength of the United States army, and
strength, character and location of the
country's defenses, and the Pall Mall
Gazette presents a map of the disputed
frontiers, accompanied by an article
thereon. While the afternoon papers
generally follow the lead of the morning
papers, their language is coarser and
their insinuations broader.
The Strike Situation.
Philadelphia, Pa., Dec. 18.—The cal's of
the Union Traction company were being
moved with great irregularity today. In
tervals of an hour between their arrival
and departure on many of the principal
thoroughfares were frequent. The near
est approach to a regular schedule being
maintained was on the Fourth and
Eighth street divisions, where cars were
run at intervals of about a half hour.
Such a thing as free travel does not ex
ist. All of the cars are manned by armed
policemen, and there Is an apparent fear
on the part of the public to ride on cars
that are liable to be attacked. Block
aded tracks and disorderly mobs were to
be found everywhere._
NINE MEN KILLED.
A Steam Pipe on the Steamer St. Paul Bursts
With Fearful Results.
New York, Dec. 18.—By the bursting of
a steam valve on board the American line
steamer St. Paul, at pier 14, North River,
early this morning, live men were scalded
to death and five others were so badly
scalded that they had to be taken to the
hospital. The St. Paul was to have sailed
at 11 o’clock today for Southampton. Her
departure will be delayed by the accident
at least twenty-four hours, It Is said.
Four of the injured men died at different
times during the day and night, and the
deaths now number nine.

UNDER A BIG BOND.
The Two Men Who Are Suspected of Burn
ing Up Titusville, Fla.
Titusville, Fla., Dec. 18.—After a hear
ing lasting four days Simon Hamburg
and J. B. Garner were this afternoon
held in heavy bonds to answer the
charge of kindling the Are last Thursday
night that destroyed forty houses and
caused one man’s death. Hamburg and
Garner came here recently from Chicago
and secured the mercantile establish
ments at Titusville, Jensen. Melbourne
and West Palm Beach owned by George
P. Rumph of Titusville, In connection
with his brother, Thomas L. Rumph, of
Camden, Ark. Hamburg and Garner
also secured pineapple plantations be
longing to the Rjumphs. They gave deeds
to Chicago real estate, which the
Rumphs have found mortgaged to its
full value.
After the deal Hamburg and Garner
sold the stores at Jensen, Melbourne and
Palm Beach, and also the pineapple
plantations. They then secured $15,000
insurance on the store at Titusville
soon after the Are occurred. It was
proved at the trial that after securing
the Insurance Hamburg and Garner re
moved quantities of goods from the store
and that the shelves were bare before the
Are. Hamburg and Garner managed
the transaction with the Rumphs so
cleverly that it Is doubtful If the latter
will ever secure anything.

that a cat will be guilty of these tricks
has been handed down from generation
to generation:
“Every one doubtless has heard that a
cat would attack a sleeping child and sit

its body, but very few believe it.
“There was an Instance of the kind In
