he proposed a resolution to instruct the

the whole and took up the consideration
of the fortilicalions appropriation hill.
Mr. Hainer (Kep.l of Nohrnska, in
ehaiiri' of the hill explained its provisions,
Jvelliti on the necessity with other pros
vnt and prospective foreign complications
for an adequate system of const defenses.
Mr. Livingston (Deiii.t of (ieoixia. n
.fliemhi r of the appropriations committee,
also favored the hill. He thought per
' haps that the jrroiit increase in the appro
priations for fortilicalions ($1 l.OOll.lllltl,

explanation in view of the fact that we

with n brief speech hy Mr. Cannon,
chairman of the appropriations commit
tee, who eulogized the hill as the host for

The more making of appropriations nnd
our acknowledged ability to make the

At tin. conclusion of the prayer Mr.

Shortly after discussion opened .Mr.
Morrill gave evidence of his vigor hy an
nouncing that on Thursday he would
speak on tiie necessity of additional quar
ters for tlie national museum.
Mr. Squire iKcp.) of Washington, was
then recogin.iH lor a speecu on mo neeu

At the close of Mr. Squire's remarks
Mr. Chandler tltep.) of New Hampshire
tools the lloor in support of the Dupont
claim.
lie said this was the first case in tin
history of the government that a govern
or claimed the right to vote lor a seunior.
Mr. (.'handler presented a novel analogy
to the Dupont ease as follows:
"I 'nn the vice president of the Ijiited
States become president of the I'nited
States upon the happening of a vacancy,
take the oath of oflice as president and

executive mansion and sign the hill and
liuike it a law :"
Mr. ( 'lin ndler passed to senators slips
concerning tiiis question and invited re
ply to it.
At this point a lively colloquy occurred
on taking tqi the resolution of the sen
ate inquiry into the recent hoiid issues.
.Mr. I Viler called attention to the illum
ine ns agreement that his hood resolu
tion should he taken up at l':L'."i today.
Mr. Chandler desired to go on, and Mr.
(Iray said he wished to follow.
Mr. Cullom also pointed out that ap
propriation hills were pressing.
Mr. Stewart of Nevada protested
against side-trucking the bond investiga
tion. "It is more important to know whether
it. is to he the policy to go on issuing
bonds without limit than it is to pass ap
propriation hills," declared Mr. Stewart.
"If nil this money is to he raised by bonds
then we must get rid of it some way hy
appropriations."
Mr. Stewart said he would ask before
long how much money was on hand to
meet these ll ppropria lions. He added
that if there was an.v disnosition to crowd
out this bond investigation then ho would
object now, oven to (he discourtesy of the
senator on the floor Mr. Chandler).
Mr. Poller said he was willing to wait
until Mr. Chandler finished his speech,
hut Mr. Orny objected to an arrange
ment on this basis unless he was included.
.Mr. Morrill thereupon made a iioint of
order that the Dupont case was a ques
tion of highest priuciiile and that a sen-

news from Juquilla, state of Onxaca.
show that the Indians, who fell upon
that town like a whirlwind wore the
same horde of brutal savages who sacked
Zimatlan nnd had loft there apprehen
sive of the appproaeh of troops. Their
action in Juquilla. is diabolical, as they
cruelly murdered the chief ollicials nnd
cut off the telegraph operator's head,
lifter subjecting him to excruciating tor
ture. The shops were sacked nnd peo
ple outraged anil they ran to the hills to
seek safety. After these savage deeds,
the Indians assembled in the plaza,
where they had a drunken orgie, and
then left town as suddenly as they had
entered it. They tied in the direction
of Guerrero. n wliich state are a large
number of federal troops awaiting them.
It is now seen that the revolt is confined
to a small number of very ignorant In
dians, who have never been civilized.

RULES OF TIIE ROAD AT SEA.
London, April 14. The select coininit
tee of the liouse of commons on rule of
the. road at sea, by a vote of (i to 3, has
adopted the chairman's report in favor of
rule 15, suggested by the Washington
conference dealing with signals.
This was the rule upon which centered
the main objection of British ship
owners and navigators to the series of
rules of the road recommended by the
Washington conference, nnd which led
to the withdrawal of the British govern
ment on these rules.
The time which had boon fixed by the
United States congress and the authori
ties of other nations for the enforcement
ol the new rules was March 1, 1S!)5.
This was subsequently postponed indefi
nitely to await the future action of Groat

New York, April 14. A dispatch to

The emir of Dongola is moving north

report his having passed Aboofath, sev
enty miles from Suardn, to join the Der
vishes, who nre massing nt the latter
place, wliich is forty-live miles from the
Egyptian outpost nt Aknsesh. The opin
ion is held nt Egyptian hendqunrters thnt
conimissinriat dilliculties will prevent
the Dervishes from making any formida
ble advance north of Suardn. The pres
tige of Osinnn Digna is reported to lie
on the wane nnd is likely to he still fur
ther compromised by his defeat by
friendly Arabs near Tninni. Deserters
from his forces are coining into Sunkim.
It nppenrs highly probable thnt there
will be more fighting in the near future.
Creditable authorities predict thnt the
rulings of' the mixed tribunnl which hns
been postponed for a fortnight in the
mutter of the advance of 500.000 for
the Nile expedition will be in favor of
the commissioner of the Egyptian debt.

says;
Sarns nnd Aknsesh have boon strongly

two points is lx'ing pushed forward as
rapidly as possible. Four miles of rails
have been nlreadv laid nnd the truck
will bo completed nlong the course laid
down in 1SS4 in order to pass the cata
racts. For the guarding of the rail
way, strong posts have been established
on 'the Nile at Soinleh. Wndy, Ambigol
nnd Sonkie. Each of those posts has
been supplied with a contingent to guard
the point opposite to it on the lhie as it
is laid, in order to prevent the Dervishes
from destroying the. work.
The Dervishes nt Suardn, who num
ber 3000. hnve ndvnnced their outposts
to Mongdomkeh. fifteen miles from
Aknsesh, the main liody of the Dervishes
still remaining nt Dongoln. The moral
effect of the announcement of the ex

Italians. Steamers hnve nrrived nt

Havana. April 14. Tlie United States
consul. Mr. Ramon O. Williams, said to
nn Associated Press reporter regarding
the appointment of his sueeossor that he
was well satisfied to lie relieved.

olulions of congress pending for decision
liefore the government at Madrid and the
resulting strain in diplomntic relations
