CAPITOL GLEANINGS, Various Matters of Interest Considered in the Committee Rooms. SECRETARY WINDOM’S SILVER BILL. Ex-Representative Symes of Colorado yester- day addressed the House committee on coin- age, weights and measures. He reviewed the suggestions in connection with the silver ques- tion made by Secretary Windom in his annual report. He objected to the Windom bill, par- ticularly that section giving the treasurer the suthority to suspend the receipt of bullion whenever he thinks there is an artificial price by reason of a corner on the wurket. He favored adopting free coinage gradually aud Bot at a jump. The committee yesterday — & resolution mviting Secretary Windom appear before them to submit his views on Bis PA and the silver question in general. LAND OFFICE SALARIES. The Senate committee on public lands at its Meeting yesterday ordered an adverse report on the bill to create the office of auditor of the general land office inthe Interior Department and a favorable report on the bill to readjust salaries of officials of the general land office, as follows: Commissioner of the general land office, from $4,000 to $5,000; assistant commis- sioner, $3,000 to $3,500, and chiefs of divisions, 1,300 to 2.000. . ONE RESULT OF THE MONTANA DEADLOCK, Representative Carter of Montana appeared before the appropriations committee of the House yesterday and made representations that caused the committee to defer action in the matter of granting authority to the Attorney General to apply certain funds for the relief of convicts in the Montana penitentiary. When Montana became a state the United States turned over to the new government several of the public buildings within its boundaries, Among these was the penitentiary. Owing to the deadlock in the Montana legislature it failed to make provision for food for the con- victs and the Attorney General was requested to apply certain funds to their relief. TO PREVENT GERRYMANDERING IN THE STATES. Mr. Wickham of Ohio introduced in the House yesterday for reference a bill to prevent gerrymandering in the states, It provides that the Representatives elected to the Fifty- second Congress shall be returned from the same districts as similar Representatives elected to the Fifty-first Congress. POSTAL TELEGRAPH. Postmaster General Wanamaker appeared before the House committee on post offices and post roads today and read an elaborate state- ment in favor of a system of postal telegraphy. Mr. Wanamaker said he bad prepared a bill based on the four bills which had been intro- duced in the House this session on the same subject and he beheved that it would be satis- factory. He proposed to begin the experi- ment by establishing postal telegraph commu- nication between the 400 tree delivery oftices in the country and to gradually extend the service to smaller offices. A uniform rate on mes- THE WORLD’S FAIR SITE. Two Bills to be Submitted to the Full House Committee. A meeting of the subcommittee appointed by the world’s fair committee of the House to prepare a plan for the selection of a site was held yesterday afternoon. Chairman Candler pre- sented his report and he was authorized tosub- mit it to the full committee for action, The re- port submits to the House the two bills prepared by the committee, one containing provisions suitable for holding the fair in either Chicago, New York or St. Louis and the other making it possible for the fair to be held in Washington. A resolution is also contained in the report pro- viding that it shall be left to the House to de- cide on a site and that after a discussion of the two bills balloting shall begin and shall con- tinue until one of the four cities has received a majority of all the votes cast. When the site has been disposed of the bill suited to the se- lection will be taken up for passage. Mr. Candler expected last night to get the full com- mittee together today and, should be be suc- cessful, to submit his report to the members. After action by the committee the report will be submitted to the House at the first oppor- tunity. Insane Soldiers. Chief Ward Master Bagley of the Hampton, Va., soldiers’ home, arrived in the city this morning having in charge the following insane soldiers: Chas, Allendorph, late company H, 125th New York; Collins Huestis, company G, 2d Pennsylvania, heavy artillery; Fred Gagrus, company A, 15th New York heavy artillery, and John McWain, company F, 54th Ohio volun- teers. The unfortunates were turned over to Dr. Godding at the government hospital for the insane, —_->—__ Suing the District for $20,000 Dam- ages. Horace H. B.

Salt Lake City Goes Against the Mor- mon Ticket. At 11 o'clock last night the official returns from every precinct in Salt Lake City but one gave George M. Scott (Gentile) for mayor, 1,240 votes; Spencer Clewson (Mormon), 532. Returns from the other precinct will probably swell Scott’s majority to 850, The campaign wasa phenomenal one. For forty-three years the Mormons have held control of the city. They were intrenched so strongly that they believed their position was impregnable. Brig- ham Young voted his people like a unit, and this principle of union im politics was so strongly impressed upon all members of the church that they grew up in the belief that to vote against the church ticket was a sacrilege, But with the years the Gentile population grew, and various acts of Congress disfranchised the polygamists, The Mormons, appreciating the fact that they were working in a lost cause, resorted to questionable methods of conducting their cam- paign. They imported Detective Boutield of Chicago and with him came many ex-couvitts, criminals and sharpers. But their work was of no avail, for one of Bonficld’s men revealed sages could not be established. Mr. Wana- maker believed that the scheme should be tried for ten years on leased wires, ‘THE SIOUX TREATY. The President sent to the Senate yesterday the report of the Sioux commission on the ne- gotiation of the treaty with the Sioux Indians for opening Sioux reservation in South Dakota, together with a message reviewing the work of the commission. *Accompanying the message is a letter of the Secretary of the Interior trans- mitting the draft of a bill embodying the legie- lative recommendations of the commission. NOTES. An argument in favor of the bill for the pro- tection of the American bison and other ani- mals was made [fore the House committee on Rablic ands y by Mr. Jones of Garden lity, Kan. ‘The Senate has confirmed the nomination of Jacob M. Copes, postmaster at Pheenix, Ariz. Benator Hoar has introduced a. bill which provides that all persons who have lost the use of both hands by gunshot wounds in both arms, so as to permanently disable them, shall re- ceive $100 a month in lieu of the pension they now receive. A LETTER FROM FANZ. “Scourged, Foully Abused and Bru- tally Beaten” at Aberdeen. Senator Spooner has received the following letter from Henry J. Fanz, the victim of the Aberdeen, Miss., outrage, which formed the subject of a recent debate in the Senate: © “Lexryetos, Tesx., Jan. 30, 1890. “I notice in the daily papers, in your answer to Senator George's address made before the U.S. Senate January 28, 1890, that you refer to the outrage that was perpetrated by the citi- zens of Aberdeen, Miss. Unfortunately for me I was the victim of their brutal assault and desire to say that you have them pictured about right. Idesire to say that I was prom- ised protection by the mayor of the city and one or two citizens, but 1 could not at that time see what good their protection would do me after I had been scourged and foully abused and brutally beaten by fifty other blood-thirsty villains, At any rate I left as soon as practicable. Am glad to say that I am now surrounded by a law-abiding people, who regard the rights of man almost as sacred as those of our Creator. “Your bumble servant, Henry J. Fayz.” DR. MACLEAN’S NERVE SPASMS. After Effects Suffered by One Victim of the Grip. While the recent epidemic is quite out of the mind of the general public and has entirely Ceased to be an interesting subject of paper talk, it seems that there are many painful and serious cases yet remaining of the grip compli- cations, The cases most common are chronic inflammations, abscesses, &c., involving the ear, eye and throat, These grip “sequew,” as our medical men term such cases, due toa cause which has apparently vanished, are now quite common in our city. Early in January Dr. MacLean of 1519 Rhode Island avenue suffered » mild attack of influenza or grip complicated with pharyngitis, The inflam- mation of the throat extended to the ear, abscesses resulted which finally ruptured the tympanum and destroyed other parts of the auditory apparatus, After several weeks suf- fering, due to the series of abscesses of the middie ear, a more — and peculiar feature of the disease deve ped during the past week. ‘The first symptoms of the new dificulty were lancinating pains in the internal ear, finally re- sulting in spasms orfneuralgic paroxysms of the plexus of ear nerves, which undoubtedly bad materially been affected by the abscesses. The rag has received every attention from his ellow physicians and from two ear speeialis:s of Baltimore, but as heavy doses of morphine and like remedief fail to control the pain they have thus far been unable to stop the spacms, Temporary relief is obtained by enveloping the head in rubber bags containing hot oil or boiling water. The loss of sleep and strain on his system is almost sufficient to develop mania, but thus far the doctor's mind and system have successfully stood the effects of the disease and his friends hope that he has passed through the worst stages of his dose of grip. Dr. MacLean is the chemist aud principal examiner of the United States patent office and is well known among the physicians of the city, being a grad- uate of the medical department of the Colum- bian university. the whole plot, and the hberais checkmated every move made by the Mormon party. ‘The courts were ap@Puled to frequently by both sides to settle contested questions and one of the most important matters ruled on was whether a Mormon was a fit subject for natu- ralization, Judge Anderson held that no member of the Mormon church could ever again become a cit- izen of this country. and by that means scores of Mormons were prevented from registering. ‘The Mersaoue aloo attempted to colonize by bringing in church members from all quarters of the territory, but this scheme was also nipped in the bud. It was believed there would be trouble yes- terJay and 400 United States deputy marshals were sworn in to preserve the peace. These officers are all Gentiles. The city and county governments being Mormon they swore in an equal number of special policemen and deputy sheriffs, These timely precautions had a good effect and the peace of the city was never bet- ter preserved. ‘The Mormons assembled at the polls as early as 4 o'clock in the moriing and held the fort bravely in the snow, but the liberals were not far behind them, At 9 o'clock 25 per cent of the full registered vote had been cast; at 10 o'clock 31 per cent; at 11 o’elock 46 per cent, and at 3 o'clock in the afternoon over 70 per cent of the voters had exercised the franchiee. The Mormons polled their vote early and by 2 o'clock in the after- noon had voted almost their entire strength. ‘There was not much scratching done. sisstabenahiss ak THE DUC D’ORLEANS. A Woman at the Bottom of His Silly Escapade. A Paris dispatch says the Duke de Luynes is the comrade of the Due d’Orleans, and the Duchess d'Uses is the mother-in-law of the Duke de Luynes, It is admitted that a foolish ambition to figure as an organizer of events inspired the duchess, and that working upon the younger pretender through de Luynes, she set him on to this folly. The moral that the re- pubheans draw from this isto point to the troublesome times when more famous Bourbon princes were puppets attached to strings pulled by some intriguing and ambitious woman, ane to reflect that the Bourbons of today are the same as those of other days. It is admitted that M. de Paradins made the imprisonment of the young duke a party question. If the case had been left to the generalggood nature of the people there would hardly have been a harsh thought about it. Opinion had already shaped itself so readily that, even if a plot had been shown to exist, it would have been laughed at like the plot of a comic opera, and the government felt itself absolved of responsibity for anything more than a formal conviction, to be followed by a pardon. But the motion and vote in the depu- ties has changed all that. It presents the duke as the thin edge of a movement for the repeal of a law that the natiou desires to see main- tained. Consequently the government will not, it is believed, pardon the duke immedi- ately after sentence. He must undergo at least a part of the imprisonment assigned D; the law, and may perhaps be amuestied wit other offenders on July 14. A NEW STAPLE. w The cold snap of the last two days has proved a bonanza to the idle laborers of Oshkosh, Wis, In fact the icemen who have made arrange- ments to operate there anticipate serious diffi- culty in obtaining men sufficient to handle the crop. Should the cold weather continue a few days longer the ice industry will give employ- ment to over 2,000 men and a hundred teams, | The advent of these ice operators has created a boom in sawdust and for the first time in the | history of Oshkosh that usually useless com- | modity has a market value. Fifty cents a | wagon load was thought to bea big price. Yesterday to secure a few loads or 100 toads 72 | per load had to be paid, One resident of the city anda speculative genius realized some | days ago that the icemen woald be obliged to use large quantities of sawdust anc imme- diately made a sawdust corner. saben Ores messse nee A Practical Printer’s Plum.

Abbey, the New York artist, who has lived in England for several years pursuing his art studies has returned to this country to marry Miss Gertrude Mead, daughter of a very wealthy ten merchant of New York and a native of Greenwich, Conn. She developed a fondness for art even when a little girl. She attended the school in Grecnwich in which Clemenceau, the French politician, who is now one of the leaders in political affairs in France, taught French, Her wealth enabled her to cultivate the passion she had for art and some years ago she collected the Watts pictures and caused them to be brought to New York, where they were exhibited in the Metropolitan museum of art, Mr. Abbey and Miss Mead became acquainted in London throngh mutual love of art. The mafriage will take place soon after Lentand Mr. Abbey and his bride will return to England for a practically permanent residence, Mr. Abbey's success in illustratin, the old comedies in Harpers’ Magazine, as well as the English ballads, suggested the illustra- tion of the entire series of Shakespearean plays, Negotiations. have been going on between Abbey and Harper's, for some time and are now completed.

An Eighteen - Year-Old Girl Who Wanted Her Forty - Five - Year-Old Cousin, Edin Busch, the eighteen-year-old daughter of Adolphus Busch, the St, Louis millionaire brewer, has run away to get married. She was in love with Hugo Reisebarger, her cousin, forty-five years old, who is located in New York as the agentof several big foreign con- cerns connected with the brewing business. Her father objected and there have been sev- eral sensational scenes, She took her friend Nellie Basch Weber, into her confidence, and Saturday the two went ostensibly to the mati- nee, but the younger one took the train for New York, and is supposed to have been met there by Reisebarger and murried yesterday. The older sister, Nellie, also married against the father's wishes and there was a divorce. Current report was to the effect that the father paid 225,000 to get the husband's consent to the divorce. This marriage is an immense social sensation as both the Busch girls are noted for beauty. ~—soo—____ SHELLING A LLAGE, British Forces Bombard One Another Owing to a Major’s Mistake. Capt.

Colored Amazons in Male Attire Fur- nish a Sensation. A strange story comes from Allendale, a small hamlet in Barnwell county, S.C., near the scene of the recent lynchings, Hattie Frazier, a col- ored women, and her infant a month oid were the victims of a queer black-cap outrage. When the news of the butchery at Barnwell court house reached the Allendale section Hattie Frazer was one of the few colored women who did not join in the chorus of con- demnation of the act. On the contrary, she openly expressed the opinion that the murdered men had only got what they deserved. Since that time the woman has been in bad odor with her race. She had received threats from time to time, but treated them with scorn. One night last week while asleep in her house with her infant she was aroused by a noise indicating that some one was trying to get in at the door. She went out with her child in ber arms to see what was the matter. She was seized and dragged away from the house and subjected to a most brutal beating. The lynchers were in masculine attire and wore black masks and caps, After beating the woman nearly to death they left her with a waruing that they would return the next night and kill her if she was found in the neighbor- hood. After the departure of the black caps the woman dragged herself back to her house, where she found her child dying on the ground, The next day she identified two of her assail- ants, They were colored women hving in the viemity. “They were lodged in jail. ‘The women turned states’ evidence and confessed thatthe flogging was done by a band of trom twenty to thirty colored women who were dressed in male attire with black masks and caps. Fifteen colored women living in the vicinity were arrested, ee SEVEN LIVES WERE LOST. A Tow Boat Sinks in the Mississippi— Exciting Scenes. The tow boat Port Eads, Capt. Nelson Davis, of the St. Louis and Mississippi valley trans- portation company, was sunk yesterday at the site of the railroad bridge, two miles below Memphis,Tenn. She carried a crew of about forty men, six of whom (all colored men) and the colored chambermaid were drowned. The Port Eads had a tow of sixty grain-laden barges and one fuel barge destined for New Orleans from Cairo. They passed the city during heavy fog, hugging the Tennessee shore closely. The Steamer approached the bridge as slowly as possible, but owing to the dense fog she was unable tolocate the sunken pier. A moment later she was seen to stop suddenly, hang sta- tionary fora minute and then swing around with heavy force and settle on one side. Men ran from every direction to the yawi, fighting each other in panic-stricken desperation to reach it. One man detached the ropes holding it and was about to climb in when the water rushed inover the boa’ts deck and all ran to the other side. Another wave closed over the boat's deck and all ran to the side,when she settled lower. ‘Ten of the crew were taken to the United States hospital near by, suffering from cuts and bruises, — MARY ANDERSON ADMITS IT, She is Engaged to Navarro, But Has No Contract With Abbey.

She was accompanicd by Mr, Navarro and his mother. The young gentleman looked at the reporter keenly, hrugged his shoulders and turned away, “What is that?” exclaimed Miss Anderson, ‘An action against me by Mr. Abbey? Why. it is impossible, It is only recently that I received a letter from him congratulating me on my betrothal. We have always been on the very best of terms, and while there is a possibility of a letter threatening guit being now on its way tome Icau hurdly believe it until I sec it, However, whether it be so or not, I must em- phatically assert that no engagement exists with Mr. Abbey excepting the incomplete en- gagement of last winter, but from that I was exempted by the advice of a doctor, who said Imust give up the stage temporarily and my health would admit of no delay or typo or hesitation about it, I never signe: tract with him to appear t October.” | gate = ‘A Great Head. — From the Boston Tiutes, One of the attractions at a church fair re- cently held in Norwich, Conn., was a lottery conducted on a small scale.

The queen's speech was read at the minis- terial dinners. It opens with a reference to the cordial relations existing between her majesty’s government and all foreign coun- tries. Portugal, it says, has acceded to the re- quest of England in regard to central Africa, and the Portuguese government is doing its best to maintain the friendly relations that have always existed between that country and England.

Turning to colonial themes her majesty expresses hopes for good results from the federation movement in Australia, In home legislation Ireland will demand a prominent place in the attention of parliament, Her majesty is glad to announce a marked diminution in the amount of agrarian crim and a decrease in the number of counties wherein it is found necessary to enforce ex- ceptional provisions of law. There is a promise to introduce a land purchase bill and a local gevernment bill aud other measures for im- proving the material interests of Ireland. ‘The program of the session further includes for England a land transfer measure, a tithes bill and an employers’ limited liability bil for Scotland, a measure empowering the local authorities to deal with private bill busi- ness, also proposuls for alleviating the distress in the Highlands, aud for improved dwellings for the working people. An amendment to the law affecting the trustees of savings banks completes the program, The marquis of Salisbury, Lord Roseberry, Mr. Smith and Earl Derby gave to their party adherants the dinners that are customary cn the eve of the opening of parliament.” Mr. Arnold Moricy gave a dinner to the Gladstone iberals.

It developed in the course of Mr. Delaney’'s speech that while Mr. Cleveland was President of the United States, he (Delaney) had applied to him ou be- half of Dr. Thomas Gallagher, who it was claimed was unjustly imprisoned in an English dungeon. Mr. Delaney claims that the Presi- dent paid no attention tothe appeal and for that reason he should not be admitted to the society.

A shocking case of starvation and death has come to light in the town of Carleton, N.B. Ewo | elderly maiden sisters, Misses Ellen and Jo- hanna Sinnott, have lived for years a retired life in their home. They were well to do and the house was titted up comfortably on the in- side, but so annoyed were they at the inquisi- tiveness of their neighbors that they had all the lower windows boarded up. For some time they had not been seen, but as it was their habit of laying in @ stock of provisions and keeping indoors a month at a time no attention was paid to their absence until yesterday,when 4 passer-by saw in an upper window the figure of a gaunt, starved-looking cat. Thinking something wroug he votified the police, who broke open the door. ‘The sight was a distrens- ing one.

In point of fact, it may be truthfully said that it is without as equal in this respect any where in the world, These averments are borne out by the figures given below, which are compiled from the sworn weekly statements printed in the paper on each Monday in the year, and condensed from the sworn tabular statements showing the average daily circulation of the paper during the year 1889, published in Tue Stax on the 18th of January, 1890. Briefly stated, the pointe upon which the above claim is based are these: That— 1. The Star has three times the ciren- fation of any other paper in Washing- ton! 2 The Star’s circulation in Washing- ton is double that of all the other daily Papers published im the chty added to- gether!! 3. The Star has a larger and fuller circulation in the city where printed, im proportion to reading and purchas- ing population, than any other news Paper im the world!!! 4. The Star has the largest regular and permanent heme circulation of any two-cent afternoon paper in the United Seates!!3! In support of these claims and to show the constantly increasing circulation of the paper, attention is invited to the figures following: DAILY CIRCULATION IN 1885-86-87-88-80, 18S3. ISS6.

Of this number, 21,142 were delivered daily by regular carriers at the homes of permanent sub- scribers. * ‘The remaining 6,740 copies represent the sales over the office counter, at the news stands, end by newsboys. But of this latter number a very large proportion is supplied regularly to per- manent residents of the city living in lodgings, &c. (not householders), so that its whole circula tion may be literally said to be in the family circle. While its aggregate circulation there fore gives Tux Stan a distinctive and enviable position in modern journalism, the fullness of its home circulation, the extent to which it is relied upon by members of the household, and particularly by the pure chasing portion of the community, are the marked characteristics of the paper, to which no other daily journal now published can furnish a parallel. This is no idle boast on the part of the paper, It is a well established fact, demonstrated to the full satisfaction of the sagacious and enter- prising business men of Washington, who seek and know where to find THE LARGEST RETURNS FROM THE MONEY PAID OUT FOR ADVERTISING. This is proven by the growth of Tae Star's advertising patronage. for it—day by day, week by week, month by month, and year by year,—in the face of ad- verse claims and pretentiouscompetition, The figures following tell the story on this point: SOMBER OF NEW ADVERTISEMANTS *RINTED Et 2083-00-29-98 -+-2,785 3,200 3,615 4,076 4,556 +2824 3,064 3,547 3,924 4,529 +3198 3,506 4,669 4,603 5,494 3,679 4,353 5,478 4,956 3,884 MAY....3,865 4,197 5,395 5,171 6,033 JUNE....3,474 3,938 4,522 4,606 5,529 3,235 3,351 3,915 4,453 2.582 3,170 3.508 4,606 4,208 4,517 4,904 5,559 4,579 5,313 5,412 6,589 4,250 5,038 4,689 6,107 3,596 5,093 5,007 5,795 | | | | | average was 29.75 columns, or 9223 columns im ‘the aggregate, being a total gain over the pre- vious yearof1444columns!
