AT THE CAPITOL TO-DAY. CONGRESSIONAL PROCEEDINGS. The Senate. The Vice President presided over the Senate today. The firet part of the republican program in reference to providing positions on committees for the new Senators was carried out by the resignation of Senators Morrill, Hiscock, Dawes, Hoar, Allison, Frye and Manderson of their positions on the committees of the census, irrigation, transportation routes to the sea- board, claims, organization and conduct of the executive departments and on civil service and retrenchment, respectively. Their successors on these committees are still to be announced. Mr. Hale from the committee on naval affairs reported back the bills heretofore introduced by him to promote the efficiency of the en- listed force of the navy; to amend sections 1529, 1530 and 1531 of the Revised Statutes, relating to the navy, and for the relief of sufferers by ‘the wreck of the United States steamers Trenton and Vandalia and the stranding of the Nipsic at Apia, in the ferry Islands, and they were placed on the ndar, NEW BILLS. Among the bills introduced and referred were the following: By Mr. Hoar—For a statue and monument to James Madison. By Mr. Call—Authorizing the President to open negotiations with Spain for the acquisi- tion of the Island of Cuba, In connection with this Mr. Call presented a petition of na- tives of Cuba (now citizens of the United wea), and stated that it had been repre- ted-to him that nearly all of such persons i favor of the acquisition of the island by the United States. DECAYING DOCUMENTS, By Mr. Vest—Regulating the printing of certain public documents and largely reducing the number of copies to be printed. He made a statement as to the immense mass of books and documents rotting away in the attic and basement of the Capito! and of the stenchfaris- ing from such decaying mutter. . Hoar remarked that those books and documents ought to be distributed among the public libraries all over the country. He de- med that much of the matter printed by order of Congress was useless. On the contrary it was needed for the making up of history in the future. The public jams, he said, necessarily prepared, in great haste, their ac- of current public events, and nearly all Of them seemed to indulge rather in proph- in history. When a thing actually ned it ceased to be of large interest to lic journals, which devoted their great- gies to discovering what was probable. oped that while any necessary ent as to these docu- miétits should be made it would be done with great care and that it would also be accompanied by some better provision than now existed for the distribution of the docu- mentsand of the debate of Congress among public libraries, Mr. Manderson (chairman of the committee on a? remarked that the difficulty of which Mr. Vest complained was one of dis- tribution rather than of publication, and that there should be a di tributing center in connection with the printing office. The committee would take the subject into full consideration and give earnest thought to it. THE MONTANA MUDDLE. Mr. Ingails called attention to the fact that a Paper purporting to be a memorial or resolution of one branch of the legislature of Mon- tana had been presented this morning and had been referred to the commitwe on mines and mining. It was a matter of public notoriety, he said, that there was some difficulty about the organization of the legislature of Montana andin order to avoid any committal of the Senate by the reference to a@ committee of a resolution of either branch of that legislature hg moved that the order of reference be revoked and that the paper be laid on the table. It was so ordered. ‘Mc. Ingalls also introduced (at the request of an association of soldiers of Kansas and Indi- ana}a service and disability pension bill,which was referred. A message was received from the House to the eifect that that body was now in ses sion and ready to proceed with tie ceremonies im commemoration of the inau- ieee of George Washington, the first Presi- nt of the United States, and therefore, on mo- tion of Mr. Ingalls, the Senate at 12:55 pro- ceeded to the hall of the House. House of Representatives. In his opening prayer Chaplain Milburn re- ferred to the approaching ceremonies and re- turned thanks that after 100 years the govern- ment framed by our fathers stood more firmly compact, more proudly erect, more divinely beautiful and bountiful in all its beniticence than ever it stood before. Mr. Cummings (N.Y.), from the ceremonial committee, reported the order of arrangement, and it was adopted, The House then, at 12:20, took a recess for twenty-five minutés, After the recess, on motion of Mr. Bayne (Pa,), a resolution was adopted directing the clerk to inform the Senate that the House was in cession and ready to proceed with the cere- monies. At the Sf pea of the Speaker the meubers then retired to the seats assigned to them. The subsequent proceedings are reported elsewhere under head of ‘A Hundred Years of Congress,” CAPITOL TOPICS, ® OLD REPORTS JUST COMING IN. Asa proof of the necessity for increased facilities for doing the government printing it may be cited that today appeared in the con- gressional document rooms advance copies of the second part of the report of the regents of the Smithsonian institution for the year ended June 30, 1887, aud of the report of the commis- sioner of fish and fisheries for the year ended June 30, 1886. The first named contained Prof, W. T. Hornaday’s paper upon the ex- tinction of the Awerican bison, accompanied by maps showing the diminished areus over which it ranged, after the slaughter of the animals began, RELIEF OF WAR TELEGRAPHERS, Senator Morrill has introduced a bill to provide for the relief of telegraph oporators during the war who, although not performing strictly military duties, were injured or imprisoned, amd who have received no_recog- nition for their fidelity, The bill provides that the Secretary of War, upon application of such survi' operators, shail issue a suitable certi- ficate of honorable discharge, reciting the character of their services, and that they shall receive an allowance equal to or approximating the pay of one month at the time of discharge.

Jounstows, Pa., Dec. 11.—The opera house horror last night is fully as terrible as was first reported. The side walls and steps of the stair- way presenta sickening sight, being covered with blood. Ten bodies are now lying at the morgue and five of the injured are reported to to have died this morning at their homes. The names of those known to have died are: George Stanaker, aged twenty-three; Miss Lizzie Clayborn, aged seventeen; John Miller, colored, Chambers- burg, Pa.; Isaac Taller, aged sixty-eight; Mrs. Wesley Burns, forty years; Miss Clara Burns, eighteen years; George Horner, eleven years, jumped from the gallery to the parquet and broke his neck; Mrs, Johi W. Nestor, twenty- five years; Eddie Bleighler, nine years and George Freschorn, twenty-two years. The cause of death in all cases, but one, George Horner, was the crushing at the door- way leading to the street, and the frantic ef- forts of the people to get out of the building. CAUSE OF THE PANIC. A heavy smoke rising from a small building near the opera house caused some one to ring the fire bellnear by. Some one in the gallery, said to have been a boy, called out “Fire,” and a panic followed, men, boys and women jump- ing from the gallery onto the heads of the people below. A gallery seat broke with a crash, increasing the fright, as it was thought that the building was falling. A hundred and fifty or more people crowded into the narrow stairway at once and were pressed upon so closely that those in front fell in the doorway. A SICKENING SCENE, The stairway was filled fall of struggling people, and the cries of the dying could be heard squares away. The police fought back those who were trying to get out by walking over the unfortunates packed on the stairs, A great crowd assembled on the street and also had to be fought back from the theater door to give room to remove those lodged there. These latter were #0 tightly wedged to the door and steps that strong men could not pull them out, and it was not until the crowd upon the upper partof the stairs had been forced back that effective help could be given to the dead and dying in the doorway below. Several persons leaped upon the stage and assisted the actors inthoir endeavor to call the audience to their senses, but for a long time without avail. SOON ALL WOULD HAVE BEEN OUT. The play was pearly atan end. The actors behaved with great presence of mind and pre- vented the catestrophe from being worse, inally the panic within the building was eld in check and the people returnec to their seats. Then was made in clearing the stairway. The dead and the badly injured were dragged back to the stage and the others jess hurt were helped to the top of the steps. ‘be firemen, with aid of their en- gine, turned a stream of water upon the crowd outside aud drove them from the entrance to the building. The dead were quickly removed to the morgue, Several of the injured died while being taken to their homes or hospital. In all about seventy persons received less serious injuries. 1T WAS A DEATH TRAP, The street door leading to the theater stair- way is four feet seven inches wide in the clear. This is three or four feet from the foot of the stairway. On the second step is a double swinging door. This opening is exactly four feet wide. ‘The stairway leading to the first floor is twenty feet seven inches in ascent, The stairway ae | to the first gallery is three leet ~=owide. §=That to the second galiery is three feet wide at the foot and two feet uine inches wide at the first lauding above, The theater, owing to its con- struction, has al been regarded as a trap. It was built twenty-five years ago, but was not in use much until the flood destroyed the only other place of amusement there was in town, THE HOUSE Was FULL. There were eight hundred people in the house. Two hundred and forty of these oc- cupied chairs in the parquet. Possibly two hundred more were in the circle and aisles in the rear of the parquet. In the first gallery all the seats were occupied and the aisles packed, In the second or top gallery all the benches were occupied and many were standing. CLEVELAND AND REFORM.

PROCEEDINGS AT THE CAPITOL Notable Gathering in the Hall of Representatives. ORATION BY THE CHIEF JUSTICE The ceremonies in commemoration of the im auguration of George Washington were held in the Hall of Representatives this afternoon. The ceremonies were simple, in keeping with the nature of the event celebrated and the character of the man whom all Amer- ica honors in memory. The President of the United States, with his cabinet, the Supreme Court, the governors of states, the Senate and House of Representa tives, the representatives of foreign govern- ments and of the armyand navy, with others ef distinction in national affairs were assembled to do honor to the occasion, The distinguished guests only were admitted to the floor of the House. To accommodate these every available foot of space was taken up With seats. The heavy upholstered chairs and sofas from the Speaker's lobby were ranged in a semi-circle in front of the Speaker's desk for the President, bis cabinet, and the Su- preme Court. The general public were ad- mitted to the Capitol by card only, so that there were no crowded scenes in the halls and — corridors, The galleries filled slowly, a large proportion of their occupants being ladies, chieily the fami- lies of Congressmen and officials of the govern- ment. The “gentlemen's” gallery, which is usually occupied by the ‘masse regardless of race. previous or present condition, was oc cupied by favored constituents of the axsem- bled statesmen, both ladies and gentlemen. Halt an hour before the ceremonies the galleries were all filled and the corri were clear. When the Speaker's gavel fell, at 12:45, the hum of voices ceased and perfect decoruur was preserved. The first arrival on the floor of the Honse, other than members or officers of that body, was Mr. Walker Blaine. Ex-Postmaster General Horatio King and Gen. “Bob” Schenk were not far behind him, and they received hearty otings from old friends and associates, Ex- Reameser General Don M. Dickinson held reception on the democratic side and seemed to spend most of the time in close conversation with southern members. Representative Blount of Georgia was his chaperon. CHIEF JUSTICE FULLER. At 12:35 the governors of states who came to this city yesterday to hold a conference on the centeca.ai monument to be erected in Phila- deiphia arrived on the floor. Governor Green of New Jersey and the venerable silvery-locked Biggs of Delaware were at the head of the column. Governor Lee of Virginia brought up the rear. After a little delay, caused by the trouble consequent upon moving afew mem- bers of the House, the governors and repre- sentatives of governors were given seats in the rear row, about equully divided among repub- licens and democrats, . Lee was an unex- cted visitor, for a great many supposed he gone to attend the Jefferson Davin obse- mics. A fewuniforms had appeared on the oor and a couple of Coreans, gaudily attired, had been conducted to seats, when the House at 12:45 was declared to be in session to receive the honored guests. There was quite a crush of visitors at the doorway just then, and out of the crowd came Gen. Schofield and Comm iwisaers Douglass, Hine, and Raymond. Members of the House been ed that they must yield up the greater majority of their seats to Senators and other distinguished visitors, so when the time arrived they retired, first care- fully locking their desks. That left a huge semi-circle of seats five deep, the front row composed of leather-upholstered chairs and sofas, The interstate comme commission stood in the main aisle for some time before a place was found for them. TRE PRESIDENT AXD HIS CABINET, Hardly had they gotout of the way before Assistant Doorkeeper Nichols announced “The President of the United States and his cabinet.” Every person on the door immediately arose and remained standing until Speaker Reed rapped once with his gavel. Hardly had they sat down, however, before Mr. Nichols called out “The chief of the Supreme Court of the United States and associate justices.” That brought the crowd to its fect at once, and they remained standing until everybody was in, ‘The next arrival, aiso duly announced, was the Vice President, aud behind hia was strung out the Senate. Gen. Schofield was accompanied by Gen. Rosecrans and an aid, Gen. Schofield’s uniform was all right, but it was nothing hike so brilliantly new as the one in which Gen. Rosecrans was resplendent. Tho diplomatic corps. headed by Mr. Walker Blaine, ded much brilliancy to the general effect d the international American conference nd the marine conference. The latter body brought up the rear of the procession and oc- cupied every one of the few seats not already taken possession of. TRE CEREMONIES BEGUN. Then Vice President Morton called the as semblage to order and announced prayer by Rev. J. G. Butler, chaplain of the Senate. The petition concluded with the Lord’s prayer, in a General Wanamaker audibly joiner The Marize band, which was stationed in the Speaker's lobby, struck up “Hail, Columbia,” 4s soon as the prayer was over, and several of the foreign diplomats saw fit to applaud the air by a their 5 shee bands together. ice President Morton arose when the last strains of the inspiring air had died away and introduced Chief Justice Fuller, the orator of the occasion.
