Short Session of the Senate and None of the House, a SEVERAL NOMINATIONS OONFIRMED ———— The Senate. Mr. Morrill, from the finance committee, re- ported back adversely the bill to provide for the organization of national banks with less capital than $50,000, and it was indefinitely postponed. Among the bills introduced and referred was one by Mr. Chandler to amend the laws rela- tive tothe elective franchise, and one by Mr. Gray for the relief of junior officers of the navy.

As to the claim put forward that trusts are a pub- lic benefit in cheapening prices, he asserted that instances of such kind were exceedingly rare and only occurred when a rift or disagree- ment occurred and when the trust was broken, or when an unusual depression in prices of the materials out of which trust goods are manu- factured tempted outsiders into the business, The fact was that no trust was ever formed with a view to the public interest, Ht i PIANOS AND ORGANS. PERSONAL, PRINTERS. PROPOSALS. Congress, which was charged with the duty PROFESSIONAL .. of commercial registration, should not fail, he RAILROADG...... said, to denounce a "area 5 policy and a false SPECIAL NOTICES. system, founded on the denial and suppression SPECIALTIES... of the first law of trade—freedom to sell and buy in open market. The modern trust, he said, consolidated the three legal offences of the forestalling, engrossings and monopoly into one. These practices had been long ago denounced as crimes both by the Roman and English codes, and in providing for their sup- pression now Congress would be only following the precedents established centuries since. TRUSTS WERE THE GIGANTIC SIN of this age and generation. They were an in- iquitous system that honeycombed the whole world of domestic commerce with fraud, false- hood, suspicion, distrust and impurity. The trust was a nuisance, open and notorious, but it could not be grappled with and suppresstd as other nuisances, and such legislation as was proposed in the bills introduced by Mr. Sher- man and Mr. George (in conjunction with his own proposition for confiscation of trust goods) should be enacted and enforced. MR. EVARTS’ WORLD'S FAIR BILL. At the close of Mr. Turpie's speech a bill for celebrating the 400th anniversary of the dis- covery of America, by holding an international exposition in the city of New York, was intro- duced by Mr. Evartsand read a first and second time, ‘The program for the ceremonies inthe House tomorrow in commemoration of the hun- dredth anniversary of the first inauguration of George Washington was presented and adopted, ITED (S1rvaTions) . ‘E) (MISCELLANEOUS). ....

Progress of the Investigation — Mr. Taulbee Wants His Money. The committee investigating the affaira of the office of the sergeant-at-arms of the House this morning heard a statement from Repre- sentative Gear of Iowa relative to the forgery of his name to one of the drafts presented at the National Metropolitan bank and subsequently teken up by Silcott, Ex-Representative Taulbee of Kentucky, who since his retirement from Congress has used the sergeant-at-arms’ office as a bunking house, and who has consequently suffered the loss of several hundred dollars, appeared, stated his case and endeavored to convince the committee that his money should be refunded to him. In an anonymous communication received by Mr. Leedom a few days ago it was stated that Silcott ‘had been seen in New York in com with Mr. Fred Miller, son of Detective Miller of this city. Mr. Miller Sopacts before the House commi today and denied the statement. The committee then discussed in an informal manner the Payne bill making the sergeant- at-arms a disbursing officer, but no conclusion was arrived at, ‘THE COMMITTEE WILL MAKE A PARTIAL REPORT. The committee will make a partial report to the House upon the first day on which that body will be in legislative session, but will not ask to be discharged from the consideration of the subject,as further in may be deemed necessary.

The end was very sudden and, although recognized as a strong possibility, unexpected. It was known that Mrs. Lord was in a most dangerous condi- tion, and last night her physicians had almost ceased to hope for her recovery. Her malady was @ complex one, based on malarial fever, contracted during the early part of the summer, As soon as she was able to move she and Mrs. Harrison went ta Nantucket in the hope that a change of air would be beneficial, but after a few weeks’ stay they returned, Mrs, Lord stopping in New York for some time. She was brought back here several weeks ago and since then has been slowly sinking under ageneral dissolution of her vital forces, caused by the malarial in- fluences. A week ago she was better and Mrs, Harrison had almost concluded to go tu Chi- cago with the President, but Friday afternoon, just before the departure of the party, she changed her mind and decided to remain, She has been unremitting in her attentions at her invalid sister's bedside, visiting her several timesaday. When she left the house last evening the Layee condition was far from encouraging, but the word that came fast to the White House this morning announcing Mrs. Lord's death was a sudden shock. HER ILLNESS AND DEATH. Mrs. Lord, who was absent from the city during the summer, returned here in a help- less state two weeks ago, November 26, and was carried immediately to her old home at Miss Darrell's house. Mrs. Lord rallied from the effects of the journey from New York and had with her Mrs. Dimmick,her widowed daughter, and Mrs. Lieut. Parker, also a daughter, who were in constant attendance upon her. Dr. Gardner of this city was her medical adviser. Mrs. Lord grew worse and had good and bad days, and her friends were fearful for her life. Mrs, Harrison, as stated above, did not go to Chicago with the President, but remained to be near her sister, and has spent most of her time at her bedside since she came to the city. For the past three days Mrs. Lord has been visibly sinking. Last night Major and Mrs. Richard Parker spent the night with her, and when they went home this morning at 7:30 o'clock Mrs. Lord was peacefully reposing in sweet sl Half an hour later she had passed away, Lieut. Parker and Mrs. Parker cad, Mrs. Dim- mick were with her, She was conscious to the last moment. Yesterday Dr. John Scott, her father, took leave of her, and Dr. Townsend of the Church of the Incarnation visited her and administered spiritual consolation, Mra, Lord belonged to the communion of St. John's church, Mrs. Harrison and Dr. Jno. Scott drove down to the house on 12th street as soon as word was received at the White House and remained there until 11 o'clock, when they re- turned home. ‘The relatives expect to bury Mrs. Lord here, and a lot in Rock Creek cemetery will be se- lected this afternoon for the interment. No arrangements have as yet been made regard- ing the funeral. Mr, Russell Lord, the hus- band of the deceased, is buried in Honesdale, Pa., where she spent her happy married li! ‘The President's son is named for Mrs. Lord’ husband. Mrs, Lord had a very severe attack of fever daring the winter of 1887-88. After the nomi- nation of Mr. Harrison and during the summer of 1888 she spent much of the time in Indian- apolis with her sister, and it was an exciting time. Mrs. Lord accompanied the President family here in March and assisted Mrs, Harri- son with the duties at the White House during the spring months, When she went away for the summer to the northern coast she was not well and was stricken with a fever at Nan- tucket, from which she never recovered. ‘Mrs. Scott Lord was gifted with all the social graces, and hada gentieness of manner that disarmed rus and reassur.d diffidence. Her sweet face was the index of the beautiful Christian soul that dwelt within, the loving heart and the generous sympathies that en- deared her very tenderly to her friends. In addition to these she had the brilliant intel- lectual qualities that completed and rounded out the perfect personality of a rarely gifted woman. AT THE WHITE HOUSE. The death of Mrs. Lord made the White House more quiet and gloomy than usual to- day. Everybody spoke in lower tones, Mra. Harrison went back and forth from the man- sion to the house on 12th street several times during the day attending to some of the pre- liminary details of the funeral, A telegram was sent to notify the President of the melancholy event, with orders to the telegraph company to find him wherever he might be on his way here from Chicago, whence he left this morning for the east. SOCIAL EFFECT OF THE SAD EVENT. It is, of course, unknown as yet just to what extent Mra, Lord's death willaffect the winter's program atthe White House, for the program itself had not yet been seriously considered. It is quite certain however, that the New Year reception, which is an official event, with the President as ite central figure, will take place as usual, with the probable excep- tion that Mrs. Harrison may not be present. There is but littie doubt, also, that the other oficial receptions and dinners, such as are given each season by the President in his capacity as chief magistrate, will not be inter- rupted by this event, although all of tho affairs that may take place will undoubtedly be more subdued in tone —_ jogs It —— Re fact, impossible for any suc! reavement to interfere with what has come to be regarded not merely as a social matter but asa part of the machinery of the government.

FORAKER SPEAKS OUT He Will Testify Anywhere at Any Time on the Ballot-box Frauds, Special Dispatch to Tae Evextwo Sta Covumees, Dec, 10.—Today Tur Stam corre- spondent called upon Gov. Foraker, who, be- ing asked about T. C. Campbell's interviews, im which he spoke of the publication by Foraker being an unmasking of batteries and about his omitting telegrams and about their fear of pro- ceeding with the trial while the governor was still in oflice, for fear he might avail himself of the immunities of his official position and re- fuse to respond to the legal and judicial pro- cesses, replied ax follows: As to the first matter he never had any batteries and conceded that all he knew about the ballot-box business, and all the letters, telegrams and information he had on the subject had been open to everybody all the while and had been placed by him at the disposal of counsel engaged in the prosecu- tion of Wood voluntarily at the commence- ment of that proceeding, and that so far as withholding any telegrams or information he had done nothing of the kind On the con- trary, he had referred to the fact that he had probubly sent two telegrams, giving the dates of the same, of which he did not have copies, thus pointing out to counsel for the proseca- tion that there probably were such telegrams and advising them of the dates, so that they could get them if they did not already have them, A CHALLENGE, As to the matter of shielding himself behind the immunities of his official position the gov- ernor said: “I first waived any immunities I may enjoy in that respect by placing my im. formation subject to couusel for the prosecu- tion of Wood. I wrote them that I would gladly come and testify at any time or place upon @ word from them. I also informed them in this same letter that all telegrams, letters and information of every kind in my possess.on was at their dis ‘and I would produce them whenever wanted. It never occurred to me that after I had said this any one would talk about any fear that I might shicld myself behind any privileges that may belong to my official position. in the first place, I am not aware that I enjoy any such privileges. In the second piace, I would not avail myself of them if I did, and in order that all doubt on that scure may be removed you can announce to all who may be interested to know it, that any privileges of that sort that I may be possessed of are waived aud that I hold myseif in readi- ness to go on telegraphic notice and testify at auy time or place before any court or any con- gressional committee and there produce all telegrams, letters and information I may bave on the subject. —EE THE FRESIDENT’S ITINERARY.

Curcaco, Dec. 10.—Mr. Forrest resumed his address to the jury in the Cronin trial this morning. He began by showing the jury the maps of the streets of Lakeview and showing that the natural and easiest route for « driver of s wagon wishing to go from the Carlson cottage to the catch basin, where the body was found, would be to go over Ashland and Bel- mont avenues and then go east. Therefore, said the attorney, there wasa doubt thatthe wagon seen coming down Fuilerton avenue ever was at or came from the Carlson cottage. The blood question was then considered, and Mr. Forrest called attentiou to the evidence of how mental predisposition may, and often does, influence a witness’ testimony. After refor- ring to the expert testimony in regard to the blood, Mr. Forrest went on to claim that the state had failed to prove that there was amp human blood at all in the Carlson cottage. —— Wall Street Today.
