THE OPENING PRAYER—THE IMPENDING REV* OLUTION—THE TIME FOR GRINDING, SELFISH MONOPOLY HAS CEASED. The chaplain's prayer this morning was as follows: “Give ear, oh God of Jacob, and awaken us to see the danger which threatens the civilized world, a revolution more tremendous than any of which history tells, in which the scenes of the Reign of Terror may be enacted in every capital of Europe and America, For long the few have mastered the many, because they un- derstood the open secret—the tools to them that can use them, but now the many have learned the secret of organization, drill and dy- namite, Rouse the rich of the world to under- stand that the time has come — for grinding, selfish monopoly to cease; that corporations “may get souls in them, with justice, honor, conscience and hu- mun Kindness, Teach the rich men of this country that great fortunes are lent them by ‘Thee for other purposes than to build and deco- rate palaces, to found private collections of art, to stock wine cellars, to keep racing studs and yachts, and find better company than hostlérs, grooms and jockeys, pool-sellers and book "makers. ‘Teach them, oh God, that it is Thee who has given them power to get these fortunes, that it isto prove them, to know what is in their hearts, whether they will keep Thy Commandments or no, and’ that those Commandments are ‘Thou shalt love the Lord, thy God, with all thy heart, and thy neighbor as thyself,’ that if the rich men of our land keep these Commandments, the poor wiil tollow the example, and we ut least will be saved trom the days of tribulation that are fast coming on all the World, Help us, Ob God, and save us.’” MR, JAMES SAYS THE PRAYER WAS AN INCENDI- ARY SPEECH. Mr. Grosvenor asked unanimous consent that the prayer be printed in the Zecord. Mr. James (N.Y.) objected; remarking sotto voce to gentiemen who asked him to withdraw his objection, that it was made because the prayer was an incendiary speech, THE DEBATE ON THE SILVER QUESTION was opened by Mr, Culbertson, of Texas, who announced himself in favor of fair play and fair otrne with silver. He was a friend of silver, and in favor of placing it on the same plane with sola in regard to coinage and making it a fult unqualified debt paying pow ‘There Was no greater legislative folly than to require the government to coin $2,000,000 in silver dollars each month it the ‘Treasury de- partment were permitted td lock them up in the vaults of the government and refuse to pay them out on obligations of the government. Discussing thé recommendations of the Presi- dent and the tary of the Treasury on this subject, Mr. Culberson said that should those re- commendations be adopted, gold would be the only debt paying money, ‘and national bank notes the only currenc; ‘this would be a repu- diation of the poliey of democracy, and @ com: plete acceptance of the financial ‘policy of the yepablicat ‘party which had been overthrown in 18 de would make the coinage of silver free, and he would puss alaw compelling the Treasury department to pay the surplus on the public debt. He went on to criticise what he termed the sycophantic expressions of sympathy of the rapaciops triumph triumvirate of bond- holders, banks and syndicates of wealth for the Poors likening that sympathy to the love of the ion for the lumb, = Mr. Long (Mas) in beginning his specch sald: Let us admit at Once that we are all bi-metalists in the sense of desiring to retain both gold and Silver as bases for the currency of the country, and that we do not propose to demonetize either, even if we stop the coinage of one of them.’ The Distriét in Congress. THE FLOOD OF BILLS, Up to March 25th 7,219 bills had been intro- duced into the House this session, and 1,335 reports had been made by committees. This is 967 more bills and 347 more reports than were introduced or made last year, A FIRE-PROOF BUILDING FOR DOCUMENTS. A draft of a bill authorizing the erection in the District of Columbia of a fire-proof building for the storage of public documents was ad- dressed to the House yesterdgy by the Assistant Secretary of the Treasury and was referred by the speaker to the House committee on public building and grounds. REGULATION OF PUBLIC PARKS. SEWER GAS IN THE TREASURY. Insanitary Condition of the Building Set Forth. A REPORT OF CHIEF CLERK YOUMANS ON THE DEFECTIVE SEWER PIPES, ETC.—A SPEEDY AND CERTAIN REMEDY NEEDED. The Treasury department building has for Years been regarded as in a very insanitary condition, and the sickness of the Secretaries of the Treasury, from Gen. Dix down, at variou: times, is attributed by many to that cause. The present illness of Secretary Manning, while It cannot be traced, perhaps, directly to this cause, was, it is held, due, to some extent, to the condition of the building in which he spent, @ great portion of his time. Various examina- tions and reports, with recommendations to remedy the defects in the building, have been made, from time to time, but no radical change resulted. CHIFF CLERK YOUMANS REPORTS THE RESULT OF HIS INVESTIGATION. Chief Clerk Youmans, by the direction of Sec- retary Manning, recently made an exhaustive investigation of the subject and has just sub- mitted an extended report, which is of particu: lar importance and significance. In it he says that the subject demands immediate attention and some speedy and certain remedy. The state of affair in the south and west wings of the building is deplorable and dangerous, and should exist no longer, Sewer pipes ran under- neath the corridors in the sub-t wings named, and, it is said, that the air ducts above them have not been cleaned for at least ten years, From the top of the sewer pipes to the ‘aly ducts, there is a space of about ten inches, nostly filled with earth, pieces of brick and other debris, left there when pipes from the boilers, or tor other purposes, have been intro- duced. There are BREAKS IN THESE SEWER PIPES, from which the gas is constantly escaping and permeating the entire building. This is alwa noticeable, but when the wind is in the south or southwest it is offensive and dangerous. It 4s impossible to locate these breaks in the pipes, unless the pipes are entirely uncovered, as the gas may not escaj into the air ducts through the earth and debris for many feet from where they are, “In my examination of this matter,” the chief clerk says, “there was one spot, and that near a grated opening into the corridor itself, where the candle I was using refused to burn because of the foulness of the air. I would rec- ommend that the whole of these sewer pipes be uncovered with as little delay as possible; that the breaks be found and stopped; the pipes whitewashed, and air ducts kept free from earth and rubbish,” OFFENSIVE SEWER GAS IN THE WORK ROOMS, In the northeast corner of the building there Ventilating the sewer, which does not work, being Imperfect and ‘broken in a number of places. ‘The gas comes out from it into the clevator stack, and 1s sometimes exceedingly. oppressive. ‘The effect of these defective sewer arrangements is observable all over the build- ing, but most especially in the sub-basement corfidors in the south and west wings and in gaged in all of these rooms complain of the foul air and of the injury to health from work- ing there. Especially is’ this so in the tr | office, containing upwards of 100 men an women, In the morning, when the room is first opened, the stench in it is overpowering, and throughout the day it is absolutely not a fit place for human beings to occupy. DEATHS OF EMPLOYES CLEARLY TRACED TO THE BAD CONDITION OF THE BUILDING. An effort was made to procure some ventila- tion in the room by means of apertures in the Windows, but it failed to work satisfactorily, and the deaths of two employes can be traced clearly to these openings in the windows. In the press room there is an average of Lo a day ‘ho are ill from the effects of the bad air, and in the composing room the proportion’ was about the same until the introduction of electric lights. One of the employes of the composing room is now in a serious condition from breath- ing foul air, while witnin the last few years the deaths ot thirteen employes in the composing room are clearly traceable to the nox- jous air Uthat they: breathed daily. The foreman of the office said that in a4 years he had lost by death 144 per cent of his lorce, and he attributed this Proportion to the lack of ventilation, He himself suffers in health from the same cause, and but for being compelled by his duties'to stir about his death would have occurred years ago. NECESSITY OF SPEEDY ACTION These, Mr. Youmans says, are illustrations of some of the worst feature of the lack of venti- lation in the building, but they alone are suf- ficient to emphasize the demand that some- thing should be done to correct the presentevil, that more or less, shows its effects through, the building. “I cannot too earnestly or too strongly recommend,” the report says, “that some steps be taken toward that end, and especially that, as speedily as possible, some remedy should be applied to correct thé evils arising from the defective and filthy sewer.” OTHER REPORTS, Mr. Youmans calls attention to reports on the subject, copies enclosed made by Supervising children service of address: 7:30 p. anon, “Subject: “Belief in’ preach bot service aud ser he rector will The Case of Lient.

Greene, for ven- Ulating the building, somewhat similar tothose in the capitol at Albany, proposing that fresh air be taken from the inner court by means of fans placed at the four interior corners of the sub banemenh that in winter this air be passed over steam coils, and then forced up through flues or ipes into the various rooms; that registers or Ialticed openings be placed at the bottoms of the doors, by means of which the impure air, driven out by the from the flues, can be ex- pelled from the apartments. Mr. Youmans lakes up the plan proposed in detail, and rec- ommends its adoption with certain changes, which he explains in full. The plan proposed is estimated to cost about $50,000. In Mr. Youmaus’ judgment a practical and SUCCESSFUL SYSTEM OF VENTILATION applied to the Treasury building would be cheaply attained by the expenditure of such a sum, or by half that named added to it. Surgeon General Hamulton in his report above referred to,states that an analysis of the outside air showed that it contained carbonic acid amounting to 3.40 volumes per 10,000, whiie the carbonic acid in the air in the sub-base- ment amounted to 12 to 16 volumes. When it is remembered that. carbonic acid is a deadiy poison it can be seen how vitiated the air has become, Every foul rooin is in itself a source of contamination of the air of the remainder of the building.

NO COMPROMISE REACHED. Chamberiain and Trevelyan Leave the Cabinct—What They Objected To— Alleged Message to Parnell from Ex- tremists in America, Special Cable Dispatch to Tae Evrxrwa Stan, Loxpox, March 27.—A split has come atlast, in a most serious form, At the cabinet council yesterd: ‘as clear immed that all | it would be unavailing. Asa result of the coun: | cil, Tam now ina position to state that Cham- berlain and Trevelyan have definitely resigned | office, “They expressed opposition equally | strong and unchangeable to certain details of | Gladstone's home-rule plan as to the land- | Purchase scheme itself. ‘This being so, no fur- | ther hope of union is possibie, Another resig- | nation, not an important one, that of Heneage, | will shortly foliow, Opinions greatly differ | concerning the result, but I know that in min- isterial circles not a little resentment is felt against Chamberlain, who has chosen such a | moment to secede, at the imminent risk of a disruption of the liberal party on a question of detail, not a question of principle, without having any alternative scheme whatever which would command Parnelt’s support for an in- stant, Without the latter no scheme is worth the paper itis written on, This is what the country has forgotten for the moment. Given a willingness to grant an Irish national legisla- ture with control of the police, then every de- tail—thousands of details, if necessary—ought to have been a matter of arrangement. The greatest wonder is expressed how Chamberlain will be able to Justify his action to the electors when, the whole matter being betore them, they see to what a narrow issue it is reduced— namely, for Gladstone's principle of home rule or againist it, As for the Irish members, their anger against Chamberlain knows no bounds. “Assassin” was ‘one of the mildest words heard applied to him by them last night. As regards the Gladstone | scheme, I have the best reasons for believin, contrary to what is generally supposed here, that he p es placing the customs excise iu Ube hands of the Irish executive. This scheme is intended to result in the creation of a great number of pleasant proprietors in a compara- Uyely short period. The detail upon which Chamberlain secedes, I understand, is whether the Irish government shall be left to guarantee the payment of the in- terest on the capital necessary to effect this or whether the imperial authorities guarantee it. Gladstone takes the former, Chamberlain the latter view. In consequence of these secessions the land purchase will lose its precedence in the whole scheme, but will not be essentially altered in form, Home rule in itself will take the prin pal place and the conservative party will be left to take some initiative action on the legislative Proposcls which have been framed chiefly in thelr interest A RUMORED MESSAGE FROM AMERICA. Iam informed on apparently good authority that a delegate from the éxtreme separatist Irish section in America came here receatly, had short interview with Parnell in the preelucts of the house of commons, and return- ed immediately to America, My informant addec: “The tenor of his message was that if Parnell stood out for extreme measures, lead- ing directly to future separation, the advanced Irish-American parsy would guncantes lim the strongest support, pecuniary, and, if ne- | cessary, otherwise, If he did not, then the Support would not be so strong, and might pos- sibly be withdrawn altogether.” It true, this complicates the situation enormously.

Failing to Reach an Agreement with he Companies, the Men Strike. PirtsBcrG, March 27.—This morning the street car conductors and drivers on ail the Unes about the city, excepting the Citizens’ ‘Tranverse and Second Avenue lines, went out onastrike. At < conference late last night be- tween the officials of the eleven other con panies and District Workman Evans, no agree- iment Was reached, and the district master is- sued an order toali the men not to take out ‘uy cars this morning. So far the companies have not attempted to run_any cars and every- thing is quiet. ‘The South Side and Allegheny are without cars to-day and travel between the cities is very much inconvenienced. There talk of a compromise being effected between the officials and the employes, but the men will not likely listen to anything but the reinstate- mentof the discharged men on the Oakland and Birmingham lines. Each of the companies affected by the order to strike will make an ef- fort to run a car out some time today. ‘This | they are compelled to do, as the law requires that to save its charter a company must run at least one car over its lines every twenty-iour hours, If the cars are ‘nterfered with the com- nies will go into court and ask that an in- | junction be granted restraining any person or ‘persons from interfering with the proper rui hing of the line.
