The report denounces senators who voted for the bill as “‘unprincipled demagogues,” ‘‘political dead beats,” ‘‘shysters of the worst stamp” and “organized corrup- tionists.” Several senators vigorously de- nounced it, Senator Stevens introduced a resolution censuring Barlow and de- nouncing the others ag unworthy the respect of the senate, declar- ing vacant the office of president pro tempore held by Dodds and calling for the election of his successor, This was adopted by a vote of 25 to 2 and Senator Lamoure was elected presi- dent pro tempore, Excitement isat fever heat, ee HEAKD FROM GEN.

The House committee on agriculture set evart its session today to hear members of Con- gress who desire to speak upon the bills pend- ing before the committee to regulate the manu- facture and sale of compound lard. At 10:45 Representative Stewart (Ga.) was the only member present and he prefaced his remarks by reading a letter from Atlanta, Ga., March 3, saying: “Mr. Hatch has no authority to say that the alliance in wants such a bill as you speak of. course it would the oil mill industry in south and fe us about $28,000,000 annually, It would reduce the e of cotton seed and raise the price of lard. so as to work a great hardship to our poor people.

In answer to questions by several members of the committee Mr. Stewart said that if com- und lard was deleterious to health—a fraud in any way—then he would be in favor of branding it as such and punishing those who sell it But, said . Stewart, I do not understand that any such thing is claimed here, It is a fight, as Tunderstand it, between lard and cotton seed oil and scientists say one is just as whole- some as the other.

Morgan 88, asserted thatthe Supreme Court Red acta passed upon the question of the constitution- ality of the oleomargarine law, as has been assumed in the discussion. In conclusion Mr. Stuart said that if the ‘use of cotton seed oil was abolished by the pas- sage of the proposed bill it would compel the southern farmer to go back to the situation of twenty: years ago when the cotton seed was used only as a fertilizer or thrown away. ALABAMA AGIN THE BILL, Gen, Joseph Wheeler of Alabama, who had come into the room while Mr. Stewart was speaking, was introduced to the committee and said that the second section of the Conger bill was enough to damn it among his people. ‘That section defines compound lard and pro- bits ite manufacture or sale except under the Provisions of the ae To Mr. Hatch, Mr. Wheeler said that when the people learned, as they ultimately would, that cotton seed oil lard is better than any other lard not a pound of lard which does not contain cotton-seed oil would be sold, FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL, New York Stock Market.

TAULBEE’S CONDITION Not Matertally Changed, but Dr. Bayne | Unfounded Rumor About a Caucus—Committee Still Hopes for His Recovery. Will ex-Representative Taulbee recover from the wound inflicted by Kincaid? is still « lead- ing question at the Capitol and throughout the city. The case excites as much interest as al- most any of late years in this city. Both men were prominent socially and politically. Mr. Taulbee this morning was in practically the same condition as reported in yesterday's Stan. Any new symptoms which have de- veloped have generally been in favor of the sufferer, but these changes have been so slight that the patient may be said to be materially in the same condition. DR. BAYNE STILL HAS HOPES, Dr. Bayne, the attending physician, contin- ues to retain hopes ofjthe patients’ ultimate re- covery. Dr. Bayne has been one of the hope- ful ones since the first, and at no time has despaired. He regards the condition of Taulbee as very dangerous and as critical as he did when he made the first diagnosis, but still hopes for the best. In conversation with a SraR reporter this morning he said: “Mr. Taulbee passed an easier night lastnight than usual, This was partly due, however, to hypodermic injections. This moreing. he awoke with violent pains in the. head, due in all probability to the injury of some branches of the nerves. The pain was allayed by proper medication and the patient has since been resting comparatively easy, The temperature this morning was ons degree less than at the same time yesterday, which is a good sign. ‘The irritation and swelling in the throat have partiy subsided, andthe patient swallows with more ease. What chan; have taken place are generally in favor of the patient, He is, of course, in a most critical condition, the chief danger to be apprehended being trom blood poisoning.” OPINION OF DR, TAULBEE, Dr. Taulbee, the brother of the wounded man, who is in close attendance in the sick room, has never taken a very hopeful view of the case, He has from the first been prepared for the worst. He sums the case up this m an on being ‘‘no more alarming and little or no improvement.” Dr. Taulbee 6a) his brother slept quietly from 11 to 4 last night and seemed refreshed, although he awoke with violent pains in the head. THE BULLET. No further examination has been made as to the course of the bullet, and at theconsultation yesterday it was decided not to do so for the resent, as it is believed that nofurther harm is ing done by it. The general treatment being pursued is to simply keep the wound drained, to treat it antiseptically and to nourish and strengthen the patient, Mr. Taulbee’s Statement of the Shooting. A Sraz reporter succeeded in seeing ex-Rep- resentative Taulbee for a few minutes this af- ternoon, The patient was in no condition to talk. Dr. Taulbee, a brother of the wounded man, agreed to make a statement of the facts as he learned them from his brother. He was sure that all his statements were ab- solutely correct and would be vouched for by his brother it he recovered, Dr. Tauibee said the disagreement between thetwo men began during the Forty-ninth Congress when Mr, Kincaid secured an ap- pointment under the House door keeper and employed a colored man to do the work at | P' about half the salary he drew himself. Mr. Taulbee by a resolution in Congress and other efforts attempted to neutralize all the appointments where sub employes performed all the work but got only a part of the compen- sation, He insisted on the ap man by the name of Ken trict, Kincaid tried to induce Taulbee to give him the position. Taulbee refused to indorse him but preferred @ man from his own district, whereupon Kin- caid became offended and threatened to make him sorry, Kincaid made several statements in the Louis- ville Times detrimental to Taulbee’s character, many of which he promised to correct. ,_ At length he published the scandal concern- ing Mr. Taulbee, subsequently to which Taul- bee almost entirely ignored him, On Friday, the 28th, goon after the hour of 12 o'clock, Taulbee and Kincaid met at the east door of the House. Mr. Taulbee asked Kincaid to go somewhere with him and have a consultation, but Kincaid said he could not go, as he was expecting to meet a gentleman, emphasizing the word gentleman; that he had ey up his mind to have nothing to do with im, The rest of the meeting was substantially as reported in the papers until the time of Mr. ‘Taulbee walking down the steps with Mr. Don- aldson, Kincaid saw the followed. Taulbee shot him, ‘There was no meeting or consultation on the stairway, Taulbee did not know Kincaid was near him and did not know who it was that shot him un- til told afterwards, =Mr, Taulbee had no pistol or other weapon. THE DISTRICT IN CONGRESS. intment of a young from his own dis- pair go down the steps and turned his face and Kincaid Meeting of the House Committee—Ana- costia Road—Rock Creek Park, Etc. The House District committee, finding that working as hard as possible they were unable to accomplish as much as they desired by only one meeting during the week, inaugurated this morning a Wednesday meeting also, This morning several measures were discussed by them. The senate bill amending the charter of THE ANACOSTIA RAILROAD was substituted for the House bill on the same subject with one amendment, which the com- mittee considered necessary. The Senate bill allows the railroad to run on 11th street instead of 7th street. The House committee tacked on an amendment repealing so much of the act passed by the last Congress as allowed the road to run on 7th street. This was thonght neces- sary, as by the Senate biil the road might feel itself able to lay its tracks on both streets, The Senate bill reducing the time of impris- onment in the District jal ana work house was also substituted for the House bill, THE ROCK CREEK PARK BILL. The rest of the morning was given up toa discussion of the Rock Creek park bill. No real conclusion was reached, although the commit- tee are generally, it is thought, in favor of the measure, This bill was made a special order for discussion at the meeting on Friday and to- morrow a portion of the committee will exam- ine the site of the proposed park, Not at Work Today. The Senate “smelling” committee was not in session todav. The Senate itself is supposed to be maturing a plan to close the mouths of the journalistic lions who are endeavoring, with a good deal of success, to tear the entrails out of secret ses- sions. It is probable that the business or fun, or whatever else it is, may be taken up tomor- row, but today nothing will be done because Senator woe . who is chief of the “‘smellers,” is giving a Columbia river salmon lunch in the restaurant, Partridges Out of Season, Chas. H. Weser was tried in the Police Court this afternoon for having six partridges in his possession on the 24th of last month in viola- tion of the bird law. Mr. Shillington, for the defendant, claimed that the birds were killed in December or January and have been kept in cold storage since that time. The judge thought the object of the law was to prevent the killing of birds out of season and took Mr. Weser’s personal bonds. Talk of a Fight. Articles of agreement for a fight to a finish with skin-tight gloves for a purse of $175 and the gate money have been signed by Michael Bolger of this city and W. N. White of Boston. The fight will take place on the 20th of March outside of the District line.

For the past day or two there has been a rumor around the Senate end of the Capitol to the effect that there would be @ republican caucus in which arrangements would be made for the more import- ant of the Senate's officials, There is no truth whatever in the story and today a dozen of the more prominent republican Senators stated that they were perfectly satis- fied with the administration of Sergeant-at- Arms Canaday, who seems to be the target in this instance, The alleged caucus was, it was said, to be held at Senator Hoar’s house, but if so Senator Hoar knows nothing of it; nor does any other Senator, for that matter, VERY MODEST 18 SENATOR ALLISON. Some Senators who are fortunate enough to be the recipients of floral tributes will allow the beautiful gifts to decorate their desks all day long. but Senator Allison is not one of thet kind, This morning the Senate employes gave him a surprise in the form of @ huge basket of the finest flowers, and they surprised him still more by placing it on his desk in the Senate ge lartng Everybody around the northern end of the Capitol is glad that the Iowan was re-elected and they de- sired to show their jubilation. The Senator was pleased, but he was confused. He blushed like a school girl and requested the immediate removal of the tribute to his committee room, Shortly before $ o'clock another big basket of flowers from the higher officers of the Sen- ate was placed on Senator Allison's desk. The Senator was at lunch,so the very beautiful flowers were exposed to the public gaze for some time, THE WINDOM SILVER BILL. The House committee on coinage, weights and measures discussed the Windom bill at their meeting today, but did not get further with the consideration than the first and sec- ond sections, A motion of Mr, Bland’s to strike out the hmitation of the pur- chase of the ‘Treasury to domestic product was defeated by a vote of 9 to 3. A motion by Mr. Knapp, on the other hand, to strike out the words “‘or ore: i Dill permit the purchase of Mexican ores, was defeated by 9 to 2. Mr. Bland moved to strike out section one of the bill and insert the first section of the Senate bill. This was lost by a vote of 5 to 7. A proposition Wd Mr. Mutchler to limit the purchase under the bill to @4,500,000 per month was lost Li fe a yote of 3to 9. An amefdment proposed by Mr, Knapp, providing that certificates of less de- nomination than 85 should not be issued, was also lost, SUGAR AND SILK IN THE TARIFF BILL. The majority of the ways and means com- mittee have been unable to come to an agree- ment on the sugar question and have switched off it and taken up silk, They have put a duty of $1 per pound on raw silk and now the silk manufacturers have come down on them. It is quite possible now that they will not be able to come to any agreement on the sugar ques- tion and that the bill will not be reported be- fore April. IN FAVOR OF POSTAL TELEGRAPHY.

Chippewa Indian Lands to be Opened to Settlement. ‘The President has approved the agreement made with the Chippewa Indians of Minnesota by which they cede some 400;000 acres of their land to the United States. Secretary Noble to- day issued an announcement in which he stated that under the act theIndians are allowed to take allotments in severalty of landin the reservation in which they live. Until these allotments are made the Secretary states that it is impossible to know what portions of the reservations be- long to the United States. When this is as- certained then an examination must beqade of the land to ascertain what portion is pine land and what portion agricultural, The pine land will then be sold and the agricultural land not allotted nor reserved for the Indians will, after thirty days’ notice by the Secretary, be disposed of under the homestead law to actual settlers, The Secretary warns all persons not to enter pee these lands until the notice has been pub- ished, The Death Record.

A Payment of Over $5,000 oe The trict Contract Likely to Make Trou! Some time ago Mr. George O. Cook obtained ‘8 contract from the District Commissioners for building a school house. Asis customary be- fore a contract is awarded two responsible and real estate-holding citizens of the District are required to go on the contractor's bond. The contract was awarded August 2, 1889, and Mr. Robert A. Downing aud Mr. William O'Don- nell, the latter a stove dealer and tinner, were Cook's bondsmen. To protect themselves against any liability Mr. O'Donnell was given & power of attorney to collect all checks due the contractor, as they fell due. The workmenengaged on the building and the ma- terial men were all paid by O'Donnell, subject to anorder from Cook. Several days ago Mr. Cook called upon Auditor Petty and informed him that he wished to cancel power of at- torney and collect the balance due him. Mr. Petty, the auditor, informed him that before he could receive the money it would be neces- sary to bring Mr. O'Donnell or a letter from him showing that he was satisfied. Mr. Cook left the District building and returned Monday with a letter, but not one from O'Donnell. The auditor was busy at the time and Mr. Thomas, one of his clerks, waited upon Mr. Cook, who, after presenting the letter, which proved to be but an application for the’ cancellation of the port of attorney, drew the balance due him, all aggregating upward of €5,000. There were several contractors at the Dis- trict building this morning anxiously inquiring for their money. President Holbrook of the Washington brick machime company filed a lien this morning against the school house for the payment of upward of $500 due him for material and it is understood that several other contractors will follow Mr. Holbrook’s example. There seems to be a diversity of opinion as to who is liable for the money. The auditor claims that the power of at- torney was revokable at will and therefore he cannot be held. There is a provision in every contract made by the District that the bonds- men shall be heid three months after the com- pletion of the contract, so as to protect the Dis- trict inst liens, so that the bondsmen may still be Tia ble, On the other hand several peo- ple claim that the auditor had no right to pay the balance over to Cook until he was assured that the attorney in the matter had been satis- fied. It is said that several law suits will follow. ——— THE INFLUENCE OF WOMAN, Laura Ormiston Chant Talks to Women of Duty to Themselves and Others. The Sunday school room of Epiphany church was filled with a large audience of ladies at noon today to listen to an address by Mra. Laura Ormiston Chant of London on the sub- ject of the influence of woman. Dr. McKim of Epiphany church opened the exercises with prayer. Mrs, Chant began by speaking of the opportunities now open to women everywhere, Women have more chances now than ever before, said Mrs. Chant, but the fact that they accomplish more does not enable us to say that they are greater. On the tombs of women of all ages it has been written in letters of gold “She has done what she could,” but on how many has it been writ- ten “She has done what she would”? Mrs. Chant advised her hearers to avoid shallowness, to be earnest, true and sincere. She regretted the lack of repose in most fem: characters, and said that in her opinion every woman should have a time of silence and rest for self communion, SOME GOOD ADVICE. “Avoid sensationalism, for that kills real emotion and nothing is ever accomplished without that. Be courageous, but shallow peo- ple are never courageous. Be prompt and do at the time what you have to do. mare courageous you will be prompt. Be hoi and do not flatter, More true triends are won in the former than in the latter way. Some friends are made firmer by treatment that is apparently too frank. Be compassionate. We cannot be strong unless we are gentle, and ten- derness is the first duty and highest quality of ® woman's character. There is no man, no woman 80 outcast, so forlorn, so wretched that tenderness doex not influence them, No one is without the power to love, and the question is, what are we ‘doing with our love? Do we live and love simply for our own happiness, or have we something higher, pote, truer for our object? There is no heart but is made better by ite love for something true and worthy.” Mrs, Chant urged her hearers to work for good, to helpthe poor and improve their con- dition. She said that there were the poor beside those who needed food and clothing and lodging. “Poor for a little love, a little encouragement. Oh, why do you not help them too? Aid the starving one, the morally and intellectually as well as the physically destitute. If you do not do your own work there is no one in the world who ever will and it never will be done. There is so much work to do here, but let us do it. ‘There is nothing that makes us so hard and callous as to have our enthusiasm aroused and then wo go forth and let it be chilled and the feeling that perhaps one has felt too much come to take its place.” At the conclusion of Mrs, Chant’s address a contribution was taken up for the benefit of the Epiphany mission, sees J. Jay Camp’s Funeral. The funeral of the late J. Jay Camp will take place on Friday afternoon at 3 o'clock from ‘Trinity (P.E.) church, and the interment will be at Rock Creek cemetery. Rev.

Mr. Oscar Nauck appeared for the defendant, and the evidence showing that a license had been asked and de- posit made therefor, and after the application was rejected archearing was J eye and is now pending, he made the point that the defendant could not be fined; that while the District held the deposit subject, should the application be rejected, to a deduction for the time the busi- ness was continued he could not impose a fine, and postponed the case indefinitely. The case of Wm. H. Yeoman, charged with selling liquors on his premises (Philadelphia oyster house) without license, was next callea— Messrs. J, J. Johnson and E. H. Thomas for the defendant. Two young men testified to getting oysters and calling for beer. They got it.
