Special Cable Dispatch to Tar Evextne Stan. Loxpox, Feb. 2.—The appearance of the first issue of the English edition of the New York Herald asa seven-days-in-the-week paper causes the Pall Mall Gazette to publish an energetic appeal to all English journalists, trades unions, philanthropists, and anti-Sabbatarians to rally to man the ramparts in defence of six days a week. Especially is an appeal made to the leaders of thought and action to whom Sab- batarianism is a mere superstition to take the lead. “‘Sabbatarians have hitherto boasted that only « theological sanction is strong enough to preserve in fact a day of rest. Now is the golden opportunity for others to prove the contrary. Upon their acquiescence the promote the new enterprise venture to calculate. We trust and believe that the result will prove that they reckoned without their host. A prompt, vigorous, and emphatic ex- pression of public opinion would probably ush the project, which, if persisted in, would mpeil all right-thinking men to regard the newly-born newspap as a public enemy of the whole community. > THE GOSSIP OF LONDON.

Cuicaco, Feb. 2—A tragedy was enacted about 7 o'clock this morning in the most aris- tocrati neighborhood of Hyde park. At the corner of 53d street and Washington avenue stands the elegant residence of P. F. Munger. Inhis employ were a colored butler named George W. Clark and a domestic named Tillie Hylander, a pretty Swedish girl about 23 years of age. rk was a good looking and fairly well educated fellow, and some time ago fell in ove with the pretty servant girl,who, not at all deterred by Clark's brown face, seemed to re- ciprocate his attachment. Bunt they quarreled and she threw him over. This morning Mrs. Munger had just risen from bed in response to Tillie’s rap on the doom She heard the girl go down stairs singing gaily, and a moment later THREE SHOTS RANG THROUGH THE HOUSE, and as they died away they were followed by a woman’s screams, “Oh, oh, my God, save me. Help, help, he is killing me! Oh, mercy, mer—.” The cries were accompanied by the noise of a desperate scuffle, then the jar of a falling body and then silence. Mrs, Manger ran down stairs and burst into the kitchen. Stretched on the floor with the head nearly severed from the body was the corpse of Tillie Hylander. Blood flowed copiously from the ghastly wound in the throat and ran across the floor ina crimson stream to where the body of Clark was lying. His face was covered with blood, the head, like that of the girl’s, was nearly severed from the body, and in his right hand was a razor. Lying on the floor a few feet away was a revolver with three chambers empty. Everything was covered with blood, which had spurted over the walls and floor until the kitchen looked like a slaughter house. In Clark’s room was found m pages of foolseap. It told of a quarrel with Tillie and how he could no longer live without her. > EMPEROR’S GREAT GRIEF. THE He Looks ‘twenty Years Older Since the Death of the Crown Prince. Vienna, Feb. 2.—The Official Gazette an- nounces that great consolation has been af- forded their majesties, the emperor and empress, and imperial house, in their sad be- reavement, by the heartfelt sympathy shown by royal honses, as well as by statesmen and the general public at home and abroad. ‘The Gazeite contirms the statement that the funeral of the dead crown prince will be sim- ple, and that the services will occupy only an hour. The only members of any foreign royal family who will be present are the king and queen of Belgium. Emperor Francis Joseph appears to have aged twenty years since the tragic event. He looks even too composed. THE BODY OF THE DEAD PRINCE is dr din the uniform of a general. Priests pray alternately beside the body. When Prince Phillip of Coburg and Loschek, the valet, re- turned to the room in which the body lay, after Count Hoyos had left for Vienna to an- nounce the death of the crown prince to the emperor, they found that a burning candle had set fire to the cuff on the crown prince's right wrist. THE EMPEROR'S REPLY TO PRESIDENT CARNOT. Emperor Francis Joseph has sent the follow- ing reply to President Carnot's message of condolence: “I am greatly touched by your urself with me in my grief, and I beg you to accept my grateful thanks for shar- ing so sincerely in the sorrow caused by the cruel loss with which Providence has afilicted The formal announcement that Archduke Francis is the heir presumptive to the throne will probably be delayed for legal reasons and on account of the possibility of a posthumous issue of an heir of Rudolph. napimeceiillppanc A Bark Wrecked and Five Lives Lost.

New Yorx, Feb. 2.—The fifth day of the surface ‘‘tie-up” opens with abundant evidence that the spirit, if not the backbone, of the movement is broken, A very great number of the strikers are looking for work at the stables, and those who still stand aloof appear to be only half-hearted in their obstinacy, At the hour for starting cars on the several lines that were running yesterday SCARCELY A STRIKER WAS TO BE SEEN. At 9:30 a, m. all the cars of the 34, 4th, and 6th avenue lines were running, and the Bleecker and 23d street road has considerably increased the number they ran yesterday. The $d ave- nue line has a policeman only on every fourth car, A SKIRMISH. About 12:15 mob at 10th street and Avenue C, near the Crosstown car stables, tried to force a green driver from his car.

New York, Feb, 2, 11 a.m.—The stock mar- ket at the opening this morning was very active, but first prices, as compared with the fiual figures of last evening, were somewhat irregular, and generally but slight fractions different. Louisville and Nashville showed the largest change, being up 1g per cent. The market was feverish, but showed a generally strong tone, and most of the list, after a slight hesitation, ‘advanced slowly on a very large business. Atchison. Lake Shore, and Rock Island were leaders in point of activity, but the most decided gains were made in the in- active shares, and Chattanooga and Alton and Terre Haute each rose 1 per cent, whilefthe im- provement in the others was generally con- ned to less than 1{ per cent. The Vanderbilts were again prominent in the deailngs, but with the rest of the list, which gave evidence of free realizations, were quite sluggish. Toward the end of the hour the market developed a heavier tone, and some of the early guins were lost, but at 11 o'clock the market was active and fairly steady, generally at small fractions bet- ter than the opening prices. _ FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.

A Republican Representative Going to Visit the President-Elect. ights to Liver- A republican member of the House, who is going to Indianapolis to see Gen, Harrison, is being loaded with messages from his colleagues and alarge number of promiuent Senators, recommending Gen, Harrison to go ahead now and select the best man he can get for Secretary of the ‘Treasury, without regard to the locality he may come from. Mr. Allison's letter of declination has been written and sent, and likely received by this time. This leaves things in a very unsettled state, with Blaine the only man who has certainly been chosen for _ the cabinet, and Wanamaker, concerning whose selection there appears but little doubt. It is a matter yet difficult of settlement to select a Secretary of the Treasury. New York does not expect that office, and there is ample room to doubt a New Yorker’s going into the cabi- net at all. It is said that Platt’s friends have ceased to work for him in connection with any cabinet position, and will be satisfied for him to get the collectorship of the port of New York if Miller is kept out too. They are said to be devoting themselves now to keeping Mil- ler out of the cabinet. Jere. Rush, of Wisconsin, is expected by his friends to be Secretary of War. Old Georgetown’s Centennial. PROGRAM OF THE EXERCISES OF EACH OF THE THREE DAYS’ CELEBRATION. The centennial celebration of Georgetown college which will occur on the 29th, 2ist and 22d insts., will be an important event in the history of that venerable institution, and is exciting great interest among the graduates of the college, not only in this District, but throughout the country. The program of each day's exercises, which has now been definitely determined upon, is as follows: Wednesday morning—Pontifical mass and sermon by the Rey. Jas. A. Doonan, 8. J., late president of the college, at 10 o'clock. Wednesday evening—Theological degrees and faculty reception, 7:30.

The alumni ode, by Oonde 1 Palla (B. A. "80, M. A. '83). Long Period of Very Hard Work. ‘THE SEVERE STRAIN UPON MESSRS. ALLISON, AI- DRICH AND HISCOCK DURING THE PREPARA- OF THE SENATE TARIFF BILL—THE GREAT NUMBER OF HEARINGS, The most enjoyably indolent members of the Senate to-day are those three iblicans who wrestled for so long with the Senate tariff bill —Mesers. Allison, Aldrich, and Hiscock. But few people have any idea as to the immense amount of work done by those gentlemen, and no one, unless it is the clerk to the House ways and means committee, can appreciate their toil. The work of the Senators commenced on May 26 and ithas been as near continuous as possible up to the day when the bjJl was passed. From early morn- ing until late at night they have worked at THE GREAT NATIONAL 14-13-15 Puzzie, and at the same time they had to attend to the thousand and one matters which worry the av- erage senatorial existence. The regular ses- sions of the Senate occupied the time from noon till 5 p.m., yet that was probably the lightest part of ‘the work. Every day there were hearings accorded to interested parties— no one was refused. The first session was at 10 o'clock and it lasted until 12; when the Senate adjourned there would be another meeting, and a final session would commence at 8 p. m. Hardly a manufactu Z or agricultural inter- | est in the country bu® was at some time or other represented at the hearings | and on some days there were as, many as fifty orators in and around the finance | committee's room awaiting an opportunity to demand protection for their particular lines of business, Six days a week were too few for the busine ss of the subcommittee, SO THEY SAT ON SUNDAYS, with but one single exception, and while wait- ing congregations were wondering how much longer that sermon would last, the Senators were hard at work figuring out ad valorem and other kinds of protection. There was only one break in the monotony of eight months’ steady work, and that was just previous to the presidential campaign. Then the trio sepa- rated and instead of talking tariff to each other they discoursed of its benefits to the great mul- titude, The value of the services of that sub- committee to the republican party would be dif- ficult to estimate. The employes of the com- mittee were by no moans idle. During the two weeks immediately preceding the election they addressed and mailed more than 200,000 documents—protection testimony scattered broadcast. The printed record of the hearings will be more than 3,000-closely-printed Reges, and then to these will have tobe added the hundreds of other pages occnpied by the com- mittee’s report and the many tabulated state- ments. SENATOR ALLISON DID HIS SHARE of the great work as methodically as possible; the Iowan is the personification of method. In addition to his finance-tariff duties Mr. Allison had to attend to the immense labor attendant upon his being chairman of the committee on appropriations. The other committees on which he had also to work were engrossed bills, examine the several branches of the civil serv- ice, and relations with Canada. Senator Aldrich had also to look after the committee on rules, of which he is chairman, the committee to examine the several branches of the civil service, and the committee on transportation routes to the seaboard. Senator Hiscock came out surprisingly in the tariff consideration. He developed a talent for hard work and lots of it that he was not supposed to possess, In addition to his finance work he attend the meetings of the committees on the centennial of the Constitution (of which he is chairman), coast defenses, interstate com- merce and patents, QUICK WoRK. The Trip Made by Mr. Bryan for the Florida Electoral Vote. The long-lost electoral vote of Florida has arrived at last, and” now re- poses in the safe in the Vice-Presi- dent's room. It was delivered to Senator Ingalls this afternoon, at 2:15, by Mr. Henry L. Bryan, of the State department, The vote should have been brought here by the state messenger before mid- night of last Monday, but its non-appearance made it incumbent upon the State depar t- men to dispatch a trusted messenger there- for. Senator Ingalls notified Secretary Bayard of the deficiency in his colleo- tion of state returns on Tuesday mornin; and at the earliest possible pee amy a.m., Wednesday— Henry L. Bryan was started south. He arrived at Jacksonville on Thursday at 12 o'clock, noon, and sought out the clerk of the court, who had the vote in his possession, the judge of that district having died last November. One hour and a quarter after arriving at Jackson- ville Mar. Bryan boarded a north- bound oxpress and at 11 o'clock last night he reached this city—an almost continu- ous ride of sixty hours. Mr. Bryan neither saw nor heard anything of the missing mes- senger. Senator Call told aSrar reporter this afternoon that he was in entire ignorance of the where- abouts of the messenger; in fact, he was not pare that that official had even started with ‘is precious burden. CAPITOL TO Ss. NO MEETING OF THE COMMITTEE ON TERRITO- RIES. To-day had been set apart by the House committee on territories for final actien on the bill for the admission of the territory of Utah, and for the further consideration of the omnibus bill for the ad- mission of the territories of Idaho, Wyoming, and Arizona. By wmanimous consent, how- ever, no meeting was held, and both of these matters go over until Wednesday for action. SENATOR EDMUND¥ BIRTHDAY, Senator Edmunds celebrated his sixty-first birthday yesterday in a very quiet and senato- rial manner. SENATOR BECK RETURNS FROM CUBA, The latest intelligence from Senator Beck received by members of the family isto the effect that he has arrived at Tampa, Fla., on his return from Cuba, where he has been to recuperate. He is not expected to return to the city until some time in April, un- less something now unforseen should arise re- quiring his attention. SENATOR MANDERSON’S CERTIFICATE. Senator Manderson to-day received the cer- tificate of his re-election as Senator from Nebraska, The document is in type- writing, with the exception of the signatures, and with its crimson ribbons and large gold seal is a very brilliant-looking affair, “Mr. Manderson’s credentials will be presented to the Senate on Monday by Senator addoc! The Samoan Affair. PRINCE BISMARCK ANTICIPATED MR. BAYARD'S TELEGRAM TO MR. PENDLETON. Secretary Bayard said this afternoon that he had not yet received Prince Bismarck’s propo- sition for a conference in regard to Samoan affairs, but that he thought it would arrive in a few days through the German minister here, The sec- retary said: ‘There is one thing that I think ought to be made clear in regard to Prince Bismarck’s instructions to e¢ German consul to withdraw his demand for con- trol of the islands, and that is this: the communication of Bismarck to Count Arco, the German minister, announcing his ac- tion, anticipated my telegram to Minister Pendleton, saying that the United States would not recognize the martial law declared by the German consul. It was therefore not a reply to my telegram, butan anticipation. In eee words Prince Bismark sent his message to Count Arco before Mr. Pendleton, received the message from me.” Moving from the City Post-Office.

We therefore are willing to make s new subdivia- ion, as shown by enclosed plat marked B. Hartford and Lansing streets, running east west, as shown on Capt. Symons’ map, with 8th street running north and south thirty feet further west than he has located it. Our streets are sixty feet wide, with fifteen feet reserved on each side for building line, as in the adjoining subdivision of rookland, that amount to be shown as reserved on the lat if recorded, and a clause reserving it to be inserted in every deed by which we con- id ever become necessary to widen the streets to 90 feet the Governmnnt can condemn the 15 feet on each side and pay for it. We object to 45 feet being taken from the front of our property on the Bunker Hill road for Michigan avenue, as that avenue, if extended ina straight line, would not touch our property at all. We claim that under the subdivision we now propose our street will be in conformity with the general plan of the city. We therefore ask to be informed whether such subdivision will meet your approval.” THE KIND OF RAIL REQUIRED. Some oe ago Mr, A. A, Thomas, president of the Brightwood railway company, inaletter to the Commissioners, stated that the company contemplated the immediate construction of the road, and asked to be formed what rail would be acceptable to the Commississioners. The matter was referred to Capt. Symons for re- port, who, in passing upon the case, says that the railacceptable by the Commissionersshould be a solid grooved rail, provided with a lower flange, but that the rail preferred by the Com- missioners is that similar to the one laid by the Eckington and Soldiers’ Home railway. ‘This rail, he says, has a bottom flange sufficient to give it stability and a depth of web suficient to allow a pavement to be laid. CONGRESS WANTS TO KNOW. The Commissioners have been requested by Congress to furnish an opinion relative to the expenditure of the $8,500 appro riated by Con- of p gress for the maintenance lic order dur- ing the inauguration. A BAY WINDOW FOR MR. MORTON'S HOUSE.

Morton. Building Inspector Entwisle reports that while the — projection asked for is in excess of the law, still the build- ing occupies the entire square and the neces- sary concession should be made. The Com- missioners have taken the matter under advise- ment. FIREMEN APPOINTED.

The House committee on the judiciary to-day had the naturalization bill again under consid- eration. To meet the objection that had been made to the original Dill, that it would operate to prevent an intending citizen from acquiring a home for his family during the five-year probationary period, it was suggested that a section be added limiting the property rights of aliens who may file a preliminary declaration of inten- tion to become citizens to the entry of one homestead. It was believed by the com- mittee that such a limitation would be just to immigrants and, at the same time, prevent foreigners who have no real intention to be- come citizens from acquiring vast tracts of land in the United States, To fit the case of Indians who desire to be- come citizens, and who would be ope ham- pered under the operation of the bill as origi- nally ———. another section was suggested extending the privilege of naturalization to aliens in cases where they reuounce tribal re- lations and assume civilized life. The members who suggested these amend- ments were requested to reduce them to form, and the bill as amended will be further consid- ered next week. Steam vs. Hand Plate Printing. DOCUMENTERY TESTIMONY IN FAVOR OF THE STEAM PRESSES SUBMITTED. Messrs. Hiscock and Harris, of the sub- committee of the Senate committee on finance, which is investigating the sub- ject of plate printing continued the subject this morning. The further use of steam-plate printing machines in the bureau of engraving and printing is practically pro- hibited by the terms of the appropriation bill as it passed the House, and the controversy which has been waged by advocates of |hand and steam work respectively is re- newed with increased force. Representatives of organized labor are opposing the use of the steam oo attorney Ralston and Messrs. Jor: and Kearney bemg present this morning. It having been by them that notes printed on steam presses were in- ferior to the results of hand work and more easil: counterfeited, the hearing to-day was y devoted to these points. Mr. Drummond, of the secret service, Treasury department, testi- fied that his experience did not support the as- sertion that steam-press work was more suc- cessfully counterfeited than handwork. Secretary Fairchild having said in his annual report that ‘the great increase in. the work of the bureau of engraving and printing during the last two years has made it nece to in- crease the number of plate printing presses operated by steam power. e new presses have been used to print the greeubacks of the silver certificat and United States notes and certain varieties of internal revenue stamps. Their use has resulted in a great mass f of expense and room, and the quan- tity of the securities printed by them has 2 satisfactory to the officers of the department, | by whom they are used, and no complaint has been heard from the general public,” was asked by letter if he desired to modify that statement any, and responded in the negative. Mr. Henderson, acting commissioner of in- ternal revenue, wrote the committee that the revenue stamps furnished by the bureau were satisfactory to all collectors, no complaint hay- ing been received, and so far as the office here was concerned they seemed to be as good as any. Tissenrer Hyatt spoke at some length in ap- proval of the work of the steam presses, No complaint against the quality of the notes had ever been received by the treasurer, and his observation was that counterfeits of steam press work were inferior to those of hand work and easily detected. The bill under con- sideration, the treasurer says, requires that the printing of the seals on the Steasery notes and certificates now done in his office, to be transferred to the bureau of e! wing and ii There are no facilities in the latter ment for doing the work, and the pro- posed change willadd rely vo the cost of making the notes and certificates, for which no sppropriation is made. letter was received fri A. ©. Cory, man- ager of the Franklin Bank Note company, say: that for rapidity, clearness, and perfection of work the steam presses were far superior to band work.
