Dr. Sunderiand were spen the evening socially together at Mr. Norri jouse when Mrs. Norris, about 9:30 o'clock, went to the basement, and as she was returning she discovered a colored man behind adoor, She screamed, alarming the house- —. and Sea — at once summoned ae + Bev icers responding promptly. Then “he, with Dr. Sunderland and the blae- coated reinforcements, set about capturing the intruder, but failed to do so, as the man suc- ceeded in his escape over the side walls of the houges at the west of Mr. Norris’, and thence out on 4}, street. badeg Me missed is an overcoat.

A Renewal of the Disorderly Scenes v of Yesterday. BOTH PARTIES DETERMINED. PROCEEDINGS IN THE SENATE. The Farm Mortgage Bill Passed--Public Buildings in Washington, —————— THE SENATE. Mr. Hale, from the committee on census, re- ported back the bill to require the superin- tendent of census to ascertain the number of persons who live on and cultivate their own farms and who live in their own homes, the number who hire their farms and homes, the number of farms and homes under mortgage, the amount of mortgage debt, the value of the property mortgaged, whether the mortgage is on the whole or part of the purchase money or for other purposes, and the rate of interest, and appropriating one million dollars for the purpose, ‘MR. SHERMAN OPPOSED THE BILL as requiring an utterly useless undertaking. He did not believe it to be in the power of man to procure such a statement as would be at all reliable. It would be of uo practical value, and the million dollars expen on it would be wasted,and worse than wasted. What good, he asked, would it be to legislation? Could the rates of interest be reduced? Or could the creditors be compelled to take some other form of security? It would simply delay the chief object of the census, which was to secure an enumeration of the inhabitants of the United States, Mr. Hale (chairman of the census committee) anid that he was in accord with much that Mr. Sherman had said. But the same points raised by that Senator and others had been debated in the Senate last week, and the largely pre- vailing sentiment favored the inquiry. ‘The committee, in considering the subject anew, had conferred with the supermtendent of census as to the difficulties of the undertaking, and had endeavored to incorporate in the bill all the provisions which the debate indicated as being desired, How much good it would avail he could not say. How much money it would cost neither he (Mr. Hale) nor any Senator nor the superintendent could tell. The amount reported was not intended to be conclusive, The committce had felt that it was foreclosed from reporting adversely on the bill. Mr. Berry, the author of the original bill, ex pressed himself satistied with the bill as re- ported and hoped that it would be passed, Mr. McPherson and Mr. Morrill opposed the bill. “ The bill passed, ‘The bill was passed—yeas, 47; nays, 3—the negativo votes being cast by Senators McPher- son, Sherman and Stockbridge. Among the bills moported from committees and laced on the calendar were several authorizing ridges over navigable streams, OTHER BILLS PASSED, The House bill as to the duty on silk ribbons was passed without discussion, TO ENLARGE THE WHITE HOUSE. The resolution heretofore offered by Mr. Spooner, instructing the committee on public buildings and grounds to consider the subject of affording to the executive mansion, by alter- ation, additions or otherwise, office room and other accommodations, was taken up. OTHER NEEDED PUBLIC BUILDINGS, Mr. Harrison offered an amendment instruet- ing the committee to consider also the subject ofthe construction of such buildings, or of additions to existing department buildings, as will give ample rooms to the several executive departments for the comfortable and convenient dispatch of business; also a suitable building for public printing, and es- pecially a suitable building tor the Supreme Court of the United States, the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia and the Court of Claims, Mr. Spooner accepted the amendment, Mr. Morrill made a statement showing the necessity for new and enlarged public buildings inthe city of Washington. The amendment was agreed to and the resolution as amended was adopted. MR. VANCE HAS THE FLOOR ON THE EMIGRATION BILL. Mr. Vance proceeded to address the Senate on Mr, Butler's bill to provide for the emigra- tion of colored people from the United States, THE HOUSE. COLORED ‘The galleries of the House were crowded to their utmost capacity long before noon today by spectators anticipating a resumption of the contest of yesterday, nor were they disap- pointed, for as the clerk read the journal in the usual manner. omitting the detailed vote by yens and nays on the question of consideration against the contested election case, Mr. Breckinridge of Kentucky rose and demanded the reading of the full vote. After a moment's hesitation the Speaker directed this to be done, This navin, been completed Mr. Breckinridge demanded the reading of the names of those not voting and the Speaker ordered this to be done also, Then Mr. i i a8 of Illinois demanded the reading in full the statement of Speaker Reed giving the grounds for his ruling yesterday, and the clerk proceeded to read accordingly. THE PREVIOUS QUESTION. ‘The reading of the journal having been com- pleted Mr. McKinley of Ohio moved that the journal be approved and upon that motion demanded the previous question. Mr. Blanchard (La.)was immediately on his feet, rising to a question of personal privilege relating to the journal, but thé Speaker de- clined to recognize him on the ground that a demand for the previous question was pending. Mr, Sprihger (Ill.) moved an adjournment and demanded the yeas and nays. While the vote was being taken on ordering them Mr, Springer stated that his object was to allow the committee on rules to prepare a code of rules, One hundred and twenty-four members rose to demand the yeas and nays. ‘The speaker de- clared this to be a sufficient number and di- rected the clerk to call the roll, MR. BLAND EXCITED, Mr. Bland (Mo.) moved to reconsider the vote by which the yeas and nays were ordered, but the Speaker declined to recognize him, whereupon Mr. Bland shouted, amid so much confusion that his words were not fully audible to many persons: “You are the mcanest tyrant that ever presided over a legislative body and I denounce——” The remainder of the sentence was drowned in a wave of cheers from the dem- ocratic side. The roll was then d, Fe (ts motion was defeated—yeas, 142; nays, DEMOCRATS REFRAIN FROM VOTING, ‘The question then recurred on the demand for the previous question on the approval of the journal, and the yeas and nays having been ordered the order ‘don’t vote” was passed around the democratic side of the chamber and studiously obeyed. - * MEMBERS PRESENT AND NOT VOTING. Before the vote was announced the Speaker directed the clerk to read the following names of members as present and not voting: Mesars, Breckinri (Ark. ), Carlisle, Olements, F need Crisp, on is Dockery, joe, Goodnight, com ers Kilgore, Lane, pn Chi a ter by his ‘complaint that herhad been present and not and that his name was not upon the Speaker's THE SPEAKER ANNOUNCES A QUORUM PRESENT, ‘The Speaker then announced the vote to stand: Yeas, 160; nays, 1(Mr. Buckalew); and added: “Which, in addition to the gentlemen present, constitute a quorum and the previous question is ordered.” ASTORM OF APPLAUSE FROM THE REPUBLICANS, This brought forth a storm of applause from the republican side, Mr. Crisp (Ga.) wished to appeal from the decision, but the Speaker sided with the point of order raised by Mr. McKinley (Ohio) that the appetl was not in order, as another appeal was pending. MR. SPRINGER’S POINT OF ORDER. Mr. Springer (IIl.) made the point of order that no quorum had voted, and said that if the Speaker so decided he would take an appeal. The Speaker—And the chair declines to en- tertain the appeal of the gentleman from Illinois. [Applause on the republican side and hisses from the democrats. } THEN AMID WILD CHEERING Se democratic side, Mr. Breckinridge of Kentutky rushed down the aisle, and, standing -n front of the Speaker, exclaimed: “From that we appeal. There 1s no appeal pending. There was an appeal yesterday but this is a dif- ferent appeal, because the Speaker is assuming that the House will sustain his de- cision of yesterday, and so is carrying by his own vote today the decision he has made.” It, therefore, does not come within the rule, as stated by the gentleman from Ohio (Mr. McKinley), and the gag law which that gen- tleman, with the help of the Speaker, has ap- plied today is usurpatory, revolutionary aud corrupt, A PERFECT BEDLAM. Cheer after cheer rose from the democratic side, mingled with hisses from the republicans, until the House resembled a perfect bedlam. In the midst of the tumult the Speaker stated the operation to be on the motion to approve the journal, and the — yeas and nays having been’ ordered, directed the clerk to call the roll, Owing to the confusion, many democratic members did not understand the question as put by the chair and another scene of excitement ensued; dozens of mem- bersarising and demanding to know what they were to vote upon. The Speaker attempted in vain to restore order, though one democrat was heard to shout above the turmoil that the House was as much in order as the Speaker. Alull occurred, however, when Mr. Carlisle arose and hoped that the roll call would be suspended until order was restored. Several members did not understand the question, WHY THE SPEAKER WASN'T HEARD. The Speaker replied that he had carefully stated the question and if it had not been heard it was owing to the confusion made by __ the very gentlemen who were now complaining that they did not know what the question was, [Loud applause on republican side. } The Speaker—Gentlemen will be applause is unsuitable. ‘The Speaker stated that he would have re- stated the question, but that the disorder con- tinued to prevail, and there was to other remedy than to proceed with business which was not to be interrupted by either applause or clamor. in order; ‘THE QUESTION PUT. After further interruption and brief dis- cussion, be put the question, which was on the approval of the Journal, and the roll call was taken up where it had been broken off. oes CROWDS OF OFFICE SEEKERS. The Census Office Overrun With Appli- cants for Place. One of the busiest places in the city at pres- ent is the census office. - The work preparatory to taking the eleventh census is increasing each day, and that fact is eufficient to account for the activity which is evident assoon as the visitor enters the building. In addition, however, the clerical force of the office is gradually being appointed and the candidates for appointment and their friends do not fail to put in a daily appearance at the office. The result is that all the rooms and hallways open to the public are thronged. Superintendent Porter is now occupied with the appointment of census supervisors. He sees no one but members of Congress, and all applicants for other positions are turned over to Chief Clerk Childs, "In spite of this division of worl SUPERINTENDENT PORTER IS A VERY BUSY MAN, He is constantly surrounded by visitors who are telling him why their man ought to be ap- pointed instead of some one else. At Mr. Porter's elbow stands his stenographer with his pencil and note book, and he jots down at Mr. Porter's dictation statements which he wishes to preserve or memoranda to be made the subject of corre- spondence.

He hears what each one has to say and seems to preserve his equanimity in spite of the con- stant ustle of which he is the center for the greater part of each day.

It is perhaps larger than the one held by Mr. rter, a8 it includes all those who want posi- tions or who desire to be examined for appointment. ‘This crowd fills the hallway and stands about Mr. Childs’ desk in files five and six feet deep. The tramp of the people coming in and going out and the move- ment in the crowded rooms maintams a constant bustle and stir that contrasts strongly with the calm that prevails in the other department buildings. It affects the employes more or less and gives them a hurried manner. During the early portion of the day at least it is seldom that the officials in charge of the administrative work of the office sit down at their desks. They generally are found standing, looking over papers, dictating replies to letters and answering questions, THE CANAL RECEIVERS. An Appeal from the Order Appointing Them Filed by Counsel.

The Butiders Convention Does Not Urge the Eight-Hour Day. Special Dispatch to Tar Evestxe Stan. Sr. Pact, Mivs., Jan. 29.—Cable dispatches on the subject having been received by the builders’ convention yesterday from Egypt, Australia and London the recommendation on shorter hours was taken up, and Mr. Sperry of Boston offered the following as a substitute: “Recognizing the agitation for shorter hours of labor than those now prevailing, the national | asso¢iation of builders in convention assem- bied declare that asa central body, represent- ing so many different constituencies, it is not competent or proper for it to define a certain number of hours for the building trades gener- ally to adopt, but that it shall be left to the | local bodies to adjust the number of hours of labor as circumstances and conditions by which they are surrounded may dictate. But we do believe that this body should persistently urge upon all local bodies that the thorough estab- lishment of the system of payment by the hour is an absolutely necessary safeguard and that they should earnestly labor to secure the es- tablishment of the system.” After considerable discussion the subtitute was carried by a vote of 111 to 4. A letter was received from the bricklayers and masons’ international union of America in session asking that the association take action to appoint a committee on arbitration. On motion it was read.

I venture to say that there is not a family positively in need of food or fuel in the whole of the South Dakota district which has suffered by drought. But mai re without money to buy seed for the next year’s planting. A good crop next year will get all the Dakota farmers on their feet again, and very soon there will be artesian wells enough to do away with the danger from drought.” Prerne, 8.D., Jan. 30.—Pierre people are mad at reports of famine in this state among farmers.

New York, Jan. 30.—The Sixth national bank. at Broadway aud 334 street, which re ently passed into new hands, has been closed by United States Commissioner Hepburn. Mr. Hepburn will not speak of the bank's affairs but some idea of the trouble was gleaned fro} one of the persons whom he consulted. “The Commissioner's attention.” said this authority, “was first called to the actions of the present | management by finding in the market a lot of | securities which the bank had been holding im | its vault. A cursory examination has disclosed &@ scheme to get control of three banks—the Sixth national, the Lenox Hill and the Equit- able. It looks a good deal as though those involved were trying to make a dollar appear in three different places at the same time. What the loss will be 1 cannot say. It will de- pend a great deal upon the value of alot of securities which are in a vault down town and upon whether certain checks which came 1m yesterday are paid. I do not think that Ihe trouble will reach further than to cause the closing of the other two banks. Tyey will probably have to go.” THE SIXTH NATIONAL SUSPENDS, The Lenox Hill bank has just suspended payments. It is controlled by the same parties who last week bought the control of the Sixth national bank of this city, which had already been closed by the bank examiner. The knowl- edge of the relation of the two institutions caused a run on the Lenox which it was unable to meet. The president is said to have m de anattempt to obtain funds in Wall «treet to continue payments, but was unsuccessful. The clearing house assoc today acted on ixth national and ded to drop it from the association. There are all kinds of ru- mors in regard to the Sixth national, one being | that its new officers, who have only been im charge a few days, had sold out its securities as soon as they obtained possession, Its president, P. J. Classen, is said to have been connected with mining schemes in Leadville a number of years ago. The rep- resentatives of the bank examiners state that depositors will certainly be paid in fall. the Equitable bank has also been mentioned in connection with the otter two institutions, | Its president makes the following «1 ment: | “The owners of the Sixth national have a mi- nority interest in the Equitable only, and lour bank is not affected.” The suspension jof the two banks was widely discussed on Wall street, but brokers appeared to think that the effect would be confined to stock holders’ losses, and although'the bear traders depressed stocks at the opemng the ‘market easil ecov~ ered and some stocks made decided advances. The Lenox Hill bank shut its doors at 11:30 a.m. today, being unable to meet its obliga- tions, amnemasis MR. BRUCE’S APPOINTMENT.

Bruce to a Stan reporter yester- day evening, referring to his nomination as recorder of deeds of the District. “Some peo- ple will insist that Iam a residert of the state of Mississippi and therefore should not have been appointed recorder of deeds.” “Are you @ citizen of Mississippi?” asked the reporter. “I reside here,” said the ex-Senator. “Then you are not a citizen of Mississippi?” his is my home,” Mr. Britce insisted. “I own this house and I live here, I sm as much 8 citizen of the District as any of the rest of the | folks here.” “For fourteen years I have owned propert here and have ‘n identitied more or less wit! | the material in % of the city.

I shail give the work of the recorders office my undivided attention.” WHAT CITIZENS SAY. ‘The appointment of Mr, Bruce, announced im Tue Sran yesterday, was generally discussed among citizens. Various views were expressed. Among those collected by Stan reporters were the tollowing: J. Carter Marbury —The Presi dent should have given a District man such an office. He has property in Mississippi, goes to that state to vote and only happens | to own a house in the District to entitle him to the most lucrative office in the District.

If, however, he makes as good a record as Trotter we will be satisfied, ‘Trotter has made a good record and every one is satisfied with the work of the office.” AT THE RECORDER'S OFFICE. Mr. Trotter, the present recorder, left here about two weeke ago for his home at Hyde Park, Mass., where some of his family were sick, and he himself was suffering from the grip when he left.
