MR. CARLISE EULOGIZED. | Senator Vest Depicts the Sacrifices of the Head of the Treasury. Washington, D.C, Feb. 17 —At the dinner given to Secretary of the Treasury Carlisle last night by his colleagues of the senate, Mr. Vest said: “I hopeI do not violate any personal relations in stating that when the president-elect of the Unit ed States culled upon Mr. Carlisle to assume the duties of the great of fice which he has since accepted, it was my pleasure to go to him and ask him to take this place stating that the exigencies of the public service called upon him to make the sacrifice, and that there was no mem ber of the party who could, in my opinion, fill this place so well as him self. Hereplied: ‘Every desire I have, every hope I have cnerished woul! be dashed to pieces by going into this cabinet. It would virtually end my public career.’ I responded to hiu.: ‘You are a soldier, a politi- cian suldier, engaged in a fight which is partly won, but which, uuless you come to the ‘front, will bea mere worthless victory. You ae cailed by the general in command,to whom we have given all the influence we possess, to take a dangerous post. You are the only man in my opimon and that of thousands of others,who cau tuke it with a hope of success” With the full knowledge of what he thus Jeft behind, with the full knowledge of the dangers before him, John G.

That gentleman waved | that shirt aforesaid so violently | that Morse of Massachusetts. more | famous for stove polish than states | manship, became excited. To-day | Morse thought he would flaunt the | bloody shirt himself, and incident- ally shake up Tarsney for “attacks | on the nation’s brave soldiers,” now | pensioners. Morse’s face was as viv id as his stove polish, and he de | nounced Tarsney for applying to the | brave defenders of our flag the epi- thets of scoundrels, knaves aud thieves The sun of Morse’s eloquence had | no sooner set than Tarsney began “g few remarks.” The few remarks were of the biting, bitter surt, and | aimed at Morse and people like him, | and loosened the hide of the stove statesman from his head to his feet «I have never,”.said Tarsney, “as; the house well knows, as the record of debate will show, applied to the soldiers of this country the names of scoundrels, knaves and thieves, but I feel strongly moved to direct them at members of this body who | lyingly slander, vilify and misrepre- sent the statements of fellow mem- bers on the floor of the house.” The house applauded and Tarsney sat down. Morse then concluded to be heard again and was unload-! ing a few yiews on the assembly much as if it were a load of lumber, when Turpin of Alabama was moved to propound a question. “Don't you know,” said Turpin, pointing a | finger at Morse, “don’t you know, sah, that there is a man drawing a pension of $19 a month for total ill- | ness and at the same time drawing a salary of $1,800 a year for tending the telephone .in one of the depart- ments?” | “I do not know anything of the sort,” said Morse. i ; the chair and crowd about the disputants. “I know it,” thundered Turpin. “He is from Iudiava and his name is ——" but Turpin never got to the name and so the cause of all the trouble never got into the congres ional record at all. At this crisis Waugh of Indiana, a long, gaunt republican of the hoop- pole sort, interjected: “In the name of Indiana I pronounce that state ment untrue.” : That settled it. The plot thick- ened rapidly and Turpin, uttering direful threats, began to crowd through the press to get at Waugh. Coming within range Turpin aimed a feeble bluw at Waugh and Waugh struck 2 wild lick on Turpin’s chin, and several lovers of peace were al So struck as they crowded in be tween the pugilists. At this point Wilson broke the gavel and the house began to drift on the rocks of a general row. But Crisp was coming. | In the midst of the riot the speaker entered the door and emptied Wilson out of unceremoniously. He seized the head of the broken gavel and brought it down with a “bing.” “Gentleman will take their seats,” said Crisp. ‘The sergeant at arms will take the house mace and clear the aisles.” Sergeaut at Arms Yoder and the brass eagles made a solemn proces- sion and members fled laughingly before them carrying to their re spective seats the sullen fighters. “This is terrible,” said Tom Reed, who stood partly behind his desk and holding up his hands in mock horror. “Gentlemen, this is terrible It reminds me of the fifty-first.¢on- gress.” Then everybody laughed. All this time Morse was holding the floor fairly bursting with the unsaid. As the combatants took their corners Crisp restored the de- posed Wilson to the chair and Morse’s interrupted oratory again began to flow. The vote which immediately fol- | lowed killed the amendment which proposed to turn the pension busi- j ed into every position, but there on Sick Bed Miracle. New York, Feb. 16.—Newport, L.

Malloy, has been ly- ing for several weeks unable to move, suffering with water on the brain, its lower limbs paralyzed and its stomach congested. Last even- ing the mother, while watching her little one, was terrified to see a face appear on the pillow next to the one on which the child lay The news spread hke wild fire, and hundreds of people visited the room and came away astounded. Lights where shift- sensation the pillow was a male face, in monk’s headdress, the forehead jnose mouth and chia as plainly outlined as if} chiseled out of pure marble. The more minute the observation the more strikingly did the feature stand | out. The face gradually faded away at 3a.m. Large crowds besieged the place, but were refused admis sion by orders of priests and doc- tors. The child has taken a turn for the better.

And it was openly avowed | by distinguished statesmen who were waking history and a reputa- tiou for the fuiure that their object was to tide over the next two weeks so as to leave the present disgrace- ful condition of financial affairs on the incoming administration of Mr. | Cleveland. Whatever might be Mr. | Cleveland’s fault as an administra- tive officer or as a political leader, | he left a net surplus of $100,000,000 in the treasury. The other day, Mr. Vest contiuu- | ed, the distinguished senator from | New Hampshire (Mr. Chandler) pro posed legislation prohibiting immi gration for 12 months —first, because | the immigration was of suck a char-| acter as to threaten the moral and/ political welfare of the country, and, secondly, because of danger of the | introduction of Asiatic cholera. But! searcely had the senator’s eloquence ceased to reverberate when a dis patch came from San Frascisco stating that the emmisaries 6f a rev Olutionary goyernment in Hawaii were on their way to Wasbington for the purpose of asking annexation to the United States and it was also made known to the American people that that revolution had been accom | plished peacebly, that a “town meet | ing” had been called, and on this| information, meager as it was, the! senator from New’ Hampshire rush-| ed frantically into the senate cham ber, scarcely waiting for the conclu- sion of the morning session, and offered resolutions for the immedi ate unconditional annexation of the Hawaiian Islands with their 90,000 inhabitants, about 4,000 of them | whites, and the rest Polynesians, | Japanese and Chinese, and the insti-! tution of leprosy formerly establisb-! edinthe midst of these blissful! islands. \ | | | | 1 i Aud now we are told by the morn-| ing papers that there is to be anoth-| er “continuing appropriation” for| late Queen of Hawaii of $20.000 a! year. Mr. Mills (dem) of Téxas: bounty for their sugar, too. Mr. Vest: And a bounty for their sugar; but I see chat the autocrat of the Hawaiian Islands, Minister Ste- vens, says that it ought to be reduc- ed to $12 a ton.
