Lat Tans i The St BROOKLYN STREET CARS IDLE. Deacon Richardson Fails to Come to Terms With His Employes. New Yorx, Jan. 25.—All the horse-car lines of the Atlantic avenue railroad company, Brooklyn, seven in number, of which road Deacon Richardson is president, were tied bi this morning by the employes. Yesterday por Hager ade ee ee ae with committees men, but nagnsaone d without any good result. The men threat- eee ee Richardson would not yield ints or agree to the terms of the men. When the men brought their cars to the depot last night they left them there with,the determina- tion not to take them out again’ until some ar- rangement could be agreed upon whereby they could have $2 day for ten hours work. The lines of the Atlantie avenue railroad are not in the section of the city through which the elevated railroad runs, so that it made traveling inconvenient for those living along the route of that road. The police have per- fected arrangements for ki 4 el the peace. No trouble is apprehended, however, as the men are orderly and quiet.’ Richardson this noon said he was determined to carry his point, and advertised for men to take the places of the strike latch INDIGNANT AT MR. INGALLS. Texans Think His Rejection of the State Vote was Miegal. Sr. Lovrs, Jan. 25.—Dispatehes from Austin, Texas, report that the rejection of the Presi- dential electorial returns of Texas by Mr. In- galls, president pro tem. of the Senate, created something of a commotion there. The opin- ion, as voiced by state-eleetor Wood, is “that the action of Mr. Ingalls in’ refusing the returns was absolutely unauthorized by any law found in the Revised Statutes of the United States, and that his object was to delay the count as evidenced by Mr. Honr’s resolu- tion introduced in the Senate, because one or two republican states were behind with their returns. The action was without any ground of law or sense, and an outrage on the rights of the states, and Texas in particular.” The electoral college, however, met and cor- rected the return, putting it in full legal shape, and Col. Robinson, the messenger, left for Washington last night, and, barring accident, will reach that city Sunday morning. —— Death of Publisher Shepard. Boston, Jan. 25.—Charles A. B.

He wanted to break is neck, but only shook himself thoroughly, d he at once climbed up and tried over again in the same way. He was this time knocked senseless and broke his shoulder. Sheriff Markham took charge of him and he was yes- terday adjudged insane and was ordered to be taken to the asylum. While the sheriff was out chopping wood Brown tore up his shirt and ade a rope. with which he hung self to the bars of the cell, being dead when the sher- iff found him. sea eae Nimes Stands by M.

TERM OF SERVICE OF JURORS. Senator Harris, from the committee on the District of Columbia, reported, with an amend- ment in the nature of a substitute, the Senate bill to amcad certain sections of the Revised Statutes of the United States relating to the District of Columbia, The committee adopts the report made to the House on the same bill by Mr. Atkinson, as follows: ‘According to existing law, jurors in the District of Colum- bia serve for a term of three months. This loca! provision is unusual and oppressive, and results in the excusing of the better class of men from jury service. The bill in question is —— to remedy this evil. It was referred by this committee to the Commissioners of the District, . in, turn, referred it to the Su- preme Court of the District of Columbia. The chief homer oh’ _ ae says aap find a o relating to jury system of the District. We invited the attention of the after examination, prepared a substitute, of ae 2 eo oe The judges of this court, or all who are able to do so, have ex- amined the substitute and, I am instructed to indorse it, and recommend its and enactment into a law.’ This substitate re- recommended, as has been seen, bene! the bar and the District The committee offer this substitute in lieu of the bill, with the recommendation that it pass.” in the it is thought probable that the Randall bill, which attacks the internal-revenue Fe niet would stand a a good chance of ption and that he would regain his old time power in the House. The only bring ural the ways and un stances appears to be TO ANTAGONIZE MR. RANDALL'S PROPOSITION with a substitute of their own which would sat- isfy the internal-revenue men on that side of the House. That is what they expect to do. This will amount to a renewal of the fight be- tween Mr. Mills and Mr. Randall that took place when the original Mills bill was first called up. The ways and means committee roved the stronger on that occasion, and they elieve themselves to be in a better light on the subject and its arrival is awaited saxtondy. It should be here by Sunday, it is SECRETARY WHITNEY SAYS “NO STEPS HAVE YET BEEN TAKEN.” Secretary Whitney's attention was called this i been taken,” and would formation on the subject. CHAIRMAN HERBERT'S LETTER TO SECRETARY WHITNEY. Following is the text of the letter of Chair- man Herbert, of the House naval committee, to Secretary Whitney in answer to the Secretary's caning a attention to * a pe Ad an appro; tion of $100,000 for the harbor of Papo Henge House or Representatives, Wasnixotox, D. C., Jan. 24, 1889, Ihave the honor to acknowledge the re- ceipt of your letter of January 23, calling at- tention to the importance of making the ap- | Rage os of 100.000 for the harbor of Pago ‘ago, Samoan islands, asked for by your letter of January 21, arising out of the fact that Just at this time the whole question of the relations of this govern ment to the Samoan islands and to the othe powers having treaties with them, has been re. condition to hold their forces together now than they were last _ session. The situation, however, appears to make it im- perative that they take some action on the Sen- ate bill, Their substitute will probably inclnde the free wool, the correction of the worsted and woolen schedules, the internal revenue portions of the Mills bill, which are the same as the Cowles bill referred to in Mr. Randull’s committee; and a series of adjustments, &c., for which there is a demand, They think they COULD PASS SUCH A SUBSTITUTE, no matter what sort of proposition Mr. Ran- dall proposes, ‘The only thing open to them is to bring in such a substitute or else not to re- porton the Senate bill at ail, This latter course would not avail them since Mr. Randall would then, they believe, get a report from his committee upon the Cowles bill, and in that way get his proposition before the House. The committee on ways and means are acting upon the assumption that this is the situation, in their discussion of the matter. One thing they are not counting on may come to theif relief, in case they want to avoid making any report at all. It is that, owing to THE OPPOSITION OF MR. FORAN, and a determination on the part of the republi- cans of the committee not toassist in getting the matter before the House this session, Mr. Ran- dall may not be able, however much he may de- sire to do so, toget a report from his committee. It bas beensupposed that the republicans of the committee would vote to report the Cowles bill. The ways and means folks have assumed this to be the situation. It is said, however, that the republicans have decided that such a course on their part would bring to them none of the credit, but would merely assist the democrats in keeping their hold on Virginia and North Carolina. The whole situation is as interesting as it has been at any time during the session. The tariff bill was received by the House from the Senate to-day and placed on the Speaker's table, pending the consideration of thg sundry civil bill. The Speaker may lay it before the House later this afternoon, but it is more apt to go over until to-morrow or next week. THE COURSE OF THE SENATE TO-DAY. Before the tariff bill went to the House from the Senate, this afternoon, there was endorsed on it, in compliance with the motion of Mr. Allison adopted by the Senate, that the Senate adhere to its amendments and request aconference. This is an unusual, but not un- wecedented course to pursue, and is adopted for the purpose of expediting the considera- tion of the bill. THE SCHOOL SITE PURCHASES. Witnesses Summoned Before Mr. Taul- : bee’s Committee. The Taulbee committee investigating the school site purchases in the District held a short session this afternoon.

There has been no meeting of the naval committee since the letter was received, and no formal action has been taken, but speaking for myself I have no doubt of the wisdom of prepering by decided action for whatever emergencies may arise; and such is the feeling of such individual members of the committee as I havo been able to consult, enpoeciase representations will be made to the House of Representatives when the matter shall be before it. In accordance with the suggestions of individual members of the committee, I request that there may be transmitted to it any recent reports from the officers of the vessels stationed at the Samoan islatids, showing the condition of things; and the request of the department for the an- nouncement of a definite policy, referred to by you in your letter of the 23d instant, if part of the records of the department, I should be glad to know if any further enlargement of the appropriations of your department should be made in view of the existing conditions. Very respectfully, H. A. Hervenrt. NO REPLY YET FROM SECRETARY WHITNEY, Mr. Herbert has not yet received a response to the above letter to Secretary Whitney. It is apparent that the members of the committee are entirely willing to comply with any reason- able request of the Navy department in this re- spect. The committee, in its report on the naval appropriation bill, noted with satisfac- tion that the contractors for supplying gun forgings and armor plate for the navy ex- pect to begin deliveries of material in March next, although they are not required to do so by the terms of their contracts before Febrn- ary, 1890, and there is some talk of stimulating them to ‘greater efforts by makiug an appro- priation for a bonus to be paid for early deliv- eries of material. REPRESENTATIVE MORROW'S VIEWS. Representative Morrow, of California, who is the chairman of the subcommittee of the House committee on foreign affairs, intends to call the subcommittee together and get to work at the earliest opportunity. He says that his views on Samoan affairs are ‘itive and have been known through the resolution intro- duced by him in the House last session, The status quo at the time the representatives of the United States, Germany and England met, he says, must be restored, and this would ne- cessitate the replacement of King Maliatoa in the position from which he was so unjustly re- moved by the German agents and sent to the Marshall Islands. ‘is step, Mr. Morrow in- sisted, must be a preliminary to any further negotiations on the subje THE TOBACCO TAX. The Virginia Delegation Interview Mr. Randall. Representative-elect Venable, of Virginia, was at the capitol to-day in company with the delegation of Virginia farmers and tobacco growers sent here to further the passage of the Cowles internal-revenue bill. The members of the delegation besides Mr. Venable are Wm. Oameron, David Dunlop, Wm. M. Venable, Gen. Stith Bowling, F. W. Jones, Henry Roper, of the fourth district, and R. A. Booker and R. B, Berkeley, of Farmington. The delega- tion contemplated appearing formally before the {appropriation committee (which has charge of the Cowles’ bill) but Chairman Randall, while welcoming them cordially and expressing the willingness of the members of the committee to hear, as members of the Honse, anything they might wish to say, inti- mated that the committee as a body did not care to enter into any formal hearings, regarding it as hardly proper to do so. Wills sonkiog “ab promises, lie freely reiter- ated his well-known views touching the pro- riety of abolishing the tobacco tax, and the Telegation which leaves for home to-ds go away under the conviction that if the way and means committee do not report a measure of relief for the tobacco-growers, the appropri- ation committee will do so, and that the bill will pass the House by a large majority when it comes before that body. The members of the dclegation were particu- larly eloquent this morning in depicting the hardships from which the tobacco-growers of Virginia and neighboring states suffer as the result of the enforcement of the internal-reve- nue laws.
