LIVELY SCENES IN THE HOUSE A SENSATION IN THE SENATE. THE SENATE, Mr. Chandler, rising to a question of per- sonal privilege,called attention to the fact that the Senator from Florida (Mr. Call) in the debate last Thursday had uttered words personally offensive to him (which he had not then heard) and had followed up that breach of order by changing and adding to the official report of his remarks a paragraph still more offensive, He (Mr. Chandler) deemed it his duty (before replying, to the assault made upon him) to bring the Senator's conduct be- fore the Senate for such action as might be deemed just and suitable for such a transgres- sion, A RESOLUTION OF CENSURE, He, therefore, offered a preamble and reso- lution stating that the Senator from Florida had charged him in debate with personal re- Segre for the outraging of women and the murdering of children and the destruction of the happiness of -households in the south by men who were the emissaries behind him, and that the Senator had in addi- tion inserted the following paragraph, which he had not spoken: “The blood of Saunders, if the evidence shall show his death was in any way connected with the prosecutions in United States courts, will rest on his conscience. The shrieking ghosts of outraged and murdered women and children, the victims of the wild lusts and passions of 'a race who owe all that they know of religion and civilization to the southern white people and not to the Senator from New Hampshire, will disturb his slecping and his waking hours, Like Banquo's ghost, it will not down; and the ocean will not wash his blood-stained hands from the guilt of the rape and murder of these tender white women and children.” The resolution condemns such action as a breach of privilege, for which the Senator (Mr. Call) is censured, and orders the words so inserted and the paragraph so added tobe stricken from the report in the Con- gressional Record. SENATOR CALL REPILES, Mr, Call defended his course in the matter, asserting that he had in debate expressed sub- stantially the same idea as was expressed in the additional paragraph. He had simply changed the phraseology, as he hud a right to do; there- fore the statement made by the Senator trom New Hampshire was not true, It was the first time in lm eleven years service in the Senate that he heard it claimed that it was not admissible for a Senator to correct, to explain, to amplify the language used by him, so as to express more clearly the idea intended to be conveyed. MR. CHANDLER AGAIN, Mr. Chandier repelled the intimation that anything which he had stated was not true, He desired to have the decision of the Senate on the question presented. He asked no_pro- tection for himself. He only asked that the Senate should decide whether such language might be used by one Senator in reiation to another Senator, and whether the Senator from Florida was to be permitted with his pen, alone in his room, to write ont additional charges and send them to the public printer to be published throughout the country as if they had been actually spoken in the Senate chamber. He sent the original of the objectional paragraph by a page to Mr. Call and asked whether that was ta fie bend writing. MR. CALL REITERATES, Mr. Call said that this was an extraordinary performance on the part of the Senator from New Hampshire, and he repeated his assertion that he had in debate clearly and distinctly charged that Senator with — respun- sibiuty for the death of Saunders and for the other iniquities committed in the south. The report when it came to him was not, he said, tuil and accurate report of his remarks, and he was authorized by the com- mou practice of the Senate to correct and to transpose, and he had done no more than that, TAMPERING WITH THE RECORD, Mr. Teller expressed the opinion that there should be no tampering with the Kecord ex- cept to correct grammatical mistakes, Cer- tainly nothing of a denunciatory character ought to be added to the report. Mr. Harris suggested that the resolution should be printed and go over till tomorrow and the Seuate could determine the proper dis- osition of it. His own idea was that it should referred to the committee on rules, PHOTOGRAPHIC ACCURACY, Mr. Hoar spoke of the necessity that the Record should be one of photographic correct- ness, as therein lay the sole safety of every Senator's reputation for his action in the Senate. Mr. Vest ridiculed the idea of the photo- graphic correctuéss of the Record and alluded to the fact thata few years ago the same speech was published as having been made by two ditferent representatives and had been pre- pared by neither, Mr. Sherman thought that the proper dispo- sition of the resolution would be its reference to the committee on privileges and elections, und said that the established custom of the Senate had been that nothing of a personal character which was not uttered shouid be injected into the report, THE RESOLUTION GOES OVER, Finally, on objection of Mr. Harris, the reso- lution went over until tomorrow. Nominations Today. The President today seut to the Senate the following nominations: Jos, A. Wingfield, supervisor of census, third district of Virginia. Albert F. Price, United States marshal, dis- trict North Dakota, = ithdrawu—Frank W, Wins! supervisor of census, third Virginia auwice” THE HOUSE, In spite of a bad day, with rain falling and the skies so dark that a full head of gas blazed above the glass panels of the ceiling of the hall of the House at high noon, when the Speaker's gavel fell, the galleries were packed with | spectators and crowds obstructed the corridors, | All of these people had gathered to witness the | deciding struggle between the adherents of the | cities of New York, Chicago, St. Louis and Washington, upon the result of which depended the location of the world’s fair of 1892.

During the call many members kept tally for themselves, and so it happened that when Mr. Mason's name was calied he shouted out “sixty-five” Sarena 2) the total number of votes cast for Chicago to point), but corrected himself immediately to “Chicago,” to the amusement of the House. The Chicago people were jubilant upon the announcement of the vote, but were restrained from expressing their feeling openly by reason of the Speaker's caution to the House to refrain from any demonstration. During the recapitulation of the names there were sigus of consultation among the lead- ers, and the Chicago and Washington we le looked with suspicion upon Mr. ockery (Mo.) when he upproached Mr. Amos Cummings (N.Y.) and held a whispered conversation with him for @ mo- ment. MEMBERS PAIRED. ‘The pairs were: Wr.

SCENES IN THE HOUSE, Incidents of the Great Contest This Afternoon. The floor of the House before noon today looked like the scene of a political convention. The representatives of the various cities con- testing for the world’s fair were actively can- vassing among the members and making them- selves agreeable, The members and the work- ers were hustling about with extraordinary activity. Conterences, arguments and ani- mated conversations were being held all over the floor, The doubtful members were this way by New York, that way by St. Louis apd the other way by Chicago. Washington alone had no army of workers on the floor, all places at the same time and smiling on ail men. The persuasive, friend-making smile for an hour never left his tace. It expanded into a loud laugh at some attempt at wit by a man he sought to ‘please, or subsided to an amiable pucker at the corners of his mouth, but never quite left his face. At one moment he was surrounded b: an interested group in front of the Speaker's desk; at another was sitting on some member's desk with his feet dangling and his smile ex- pa nding to its most Cerra Proportion. Meanwhile Warner Miller moved slowly about among the republicans with impressive dignity. Ex-Seoretary Whitney and Mayor Grant were surrounded by democrats, even Carlisle and Mills, who want no fair, and their influence was spreading out about them. All the other great New York workers spread over the Honse working in the most approved New York style. Senator Hiscock sat and watched the busy —— or joined in solemn conference in the lobby. CHICAGO AND ST, LOUIS. The mayor of Chicago and the mayor of St. Louis were there being introduced to members and doing all those things which mayors may do to excite interest in their own cities. Gov. Francis of Missouri shook hands with two- j thirds of the members during the course of an hour, and Springer, Belden, Flower, Hill and John J. O'Neill were everywhere, each working his best for the city of his choice. ‘There was much canvassing, plotting and counter plotting and there was talk of com- inations and changes, but the situation was no less in doubt when the vote was begun than it been from the first, The New York folks have been doing a tremen- dous amount of work since Friday night, and this morning they were talking very confi- dently. It was conceded on every hand that Chicago would start with a good lead, and New York expected to stand a close second. Noone could quite make out where Washington would stand, but it was evident none of them felt quite easy on the subject. The Chicag people have been trying their best to make a combination by which to get the St. Louis vote, but they do not appear to have been successful. The St, Louis men say they expect to stay in the fight to the last, but if they break a number of their votes will come to Washington or go to New York. THE ROLL CALL, The rollcall was begun immediately after the reading of the journal, The Speaker held that the only thing in order was to vote on the site for the tair. He announced that the roll would be called and each mancould name the city of his choice. Washington gota good many votes in the start, which made the people in the galleries quite demonstrative. For a while the votes for cach city were greeted with ap- jause, both in the galleries aud on the floor, Bat the Speaker ordered it to cease and there was very little demonstration after that. Before the announcement of the first ballot was made the Speaker requested that there be no demonstration of approual or disapproval by either the members or the people in the galleries, ‘his request was respected. |" After the announcement some members be- | gan to move about as if tiey might confer | together but the Speaker commanded silence, and asked the members to take their seats, The House was quieted ina moment and the second vote was begun. THE CHANGES, The first change in the yote was a gain of one for Washington in the vote of Mr. Coleman; Cogswell then voted for Chicago, making a gain for that city. Mr. Crisp left St. Louis and voted for New York, and Mr. Edmunds left Washington for Néw York, Mr. Greenhalge changed from Washington to New York. Harmer changed from Wash- ington to New York. Henderson of North Caroli- na changed from Washington to New York. St. Louis gained the vote of Mr. McMillan. Mr. Morse left Washington for Nw York. O’Neiil of Pennsylvania left Washington for New York. Mr. Reyburn, the successor to Judge Kelley, who took his oath of office to- day, voted for Washington on first two votes, Rockwill left New York for Chicago.

STEELE TO BE TRIED. He Will Be Charged With Maltreating a Subordinate. The Secretary of War has decided to order a court-martial to try Lieut. Steele, eighth cav alry, who preferred charges of insubordination against Private Dell Wild, causing his trial, conviction and imprisonment, Wild, as was stated in | Saturday's Star, was re- |leased by order of the President {on the ground that his trial was improperly conducted, Lieut, Steele, his ac- cuser, being judze Advocate of the court. Wild has been coutined at Fort Snelling, Neb., for some weeks and kept at hard labor. He says that Steele struck him when he re- fused to perform a daty that he was uot obliged to perform, culling him a deserter. His charges against Steele, which he preferred to Col. Townsend at the time, were ignored and he was tried himself instead. Steele is to be tried upon a charge of multreating a subordi- nate, in violation of the first article of wer, and it is just possible that | the testimony at his trial may develop a state | of affairs, connected with the examination of | Wild's case, such as may lead to one or two | other trials or reprimands, At all events Col. | Townsend and Gen. Ruger, who | passed on the case on its way to ithe department without calling attention | to its very evident irregularity aud injustice, are | im an unenviable position and will mot likely | be called upon to explain why they aliowed such @ gross Ureach of the law to go unnoticed, A BIG PAPER CONTRACT, Proposals Received for Supplying the Census Office, One of the largest contracts for furnishing Paper for the use of the census office is the one for manilla tabulating cards, Bids were opened today at the Intcrior department for filling such @ contract.

SUSTAINED BY THE DEPUTIES. ——— Jubal Early Makes a Vigorous De- nial for the Louisiana Lottery. A CANAL RECKIVER Judge Alvey Delivers a Decision at town Against the Bond Holdera Special Dispatch to Tae Evewrwo Stan Haoerstowx, Mp., Feb, 24—The suite brought in the cireuit court of Wash- ington county sitting as a court of equity, by the Chesapeake and Obio canal pond bolders, under the acts respectively of 1844 and 1878, against the canal company, in which the complainants ask for the appointment of re- ceivers and finally the sale of the canal, has been decided by Judge Alvey in an opinion which was given the press last evening. The opinion is exhaustive and compre hensive, in which Judge Alvey clearly expresses the opinion that neither the canal company, the state nor the mimority of the bond holders of 1834, all of whom appeared in court 4s defendants, bad any legal right to so appear and shows that the complainants have, under the terms of their several contracts, a right toa receiver. He says he will appoint receiv- ers, but has not as yet named them, and inti- mates in his opinion that it can be settled at once whether the receivers will be permitted to restore and operate the canal as a waterway bo- cause such restoration might entail a great amount of expenditures to the prejudice of exisiting creditors. The action of Judge Alvey bas created no surprise bere, as it was generally conceded he would decide to appoint receivers, and when he does itis the general impression that Mr. Victor Cushwa of Williamspagt will be named as one of the number along the river districts’ The decision is received with much favor under the behef that it will restore the canal asa water- way. Others living remote from the canal, but familiar with its history, are in favor of a lease or sale, and this sentiment is clearly shown by interviews by Tue Sra correspondent with leading citizens from all sections of the county. The citizens of Sharpsburg, this county, « canal-bordering district, gave violent expres- sions to their feelings on Saturday evening by hanging in effigy Gov. Jackson and Mesera, Moses Whitson and J. H. Harp, members of the legislature of this county, who advocated and Yoted for the lease to the Washington and Cum- berland railroad company. Hacrustown, Feb, 24, 2 pm—Jodge H. Alvey has not yet thus far today named the re- ceivers for the Chesapeake and Ohio canal, — JUBAL EARLY RAIDS THE RUMORS, He Says the Louisiana Lottery Doesn't Want a Dakota Charter. Ricumonp, Va, Feb. 24. the recent efforts of the Louisiana lottery company to obtain 6 new charter in Dakota, Gen. Jubal A. Early, a joint commissioner of the drawings of that institution with Gen. Beauregard, makes @ public statement in which he says the Louisiana lottery company had nothing to do with the proposition reported to have been made in the North Dakota legislature, nor bad the company any connection with the propo- sition, Gen, Early also pronounces as unfounded the statement that the company proposes to procure a renewal of its charter by bribing the legislature of Louis- jana, The constitution of that state, the gen- eral says, prohibits the charter of any lottery after the expiration of that of the present com- pany. The statement that the lottery company , arsige 2 the — campaign ho ri t presidential a is also denied by the geucral. —— a A WISE MAN.
