The remains will be brought on and the funeral will take place on Saturday from Ascension Church. ——— As To Gex, CLarkson’s Succeesor.—It is not thought that there is any foundation for the statement telegraphed from Pittsburg that Jas. 8. McKean, the postmaster in that city, is to succeed First Assistant Postmaster Gen- eral Clarkson, Mr. McKean has proved to be an efficient postmaster and he is regarded as the Bee man in the right place. It is said that the interests of the admin- istration would be advanced by _ his remaining where he is. A prominent Pennsylvanian said today that if any one was to be selected for the western part of the state that Chris, Magee would be more likely to be chosen than Mr. McKean, Mas. Grex.

He was Gen. John C. Fremont, the famous veteran whom Congress has just hon- ored by the passage of a bill placing him on the retired list with the highest possible rank. ures, despite the lines of age, have not changed in 'the least, and, barring his white hair, he looks just as he did during the war, Pensoxat.—Col.

A Motion to Rush It Through the House Resisted, But Carried. CUSTOMS ADMINISTRATIVE BILL. Under Consideration in the Senate This Afternoon SENATE, Mr. Dolph, from the committee on foreign Telations, reported afconcurrent resolution re- questing the President to negotiate with tha governments of Great Britain and Mexico with a view of securing treaty stipulations for the Prevention of the entry into the United States of Chinese from Canada and Mexico; and he asked for its immediate consideration. THE CUSTOMS ADMINISTRATIVE BILL, The concurrent resolution went over till to- morrow and the Senate resumed consideration of the customs administrative bill. The amendment offered yesterday by Mr. Dawes, that in cases of the importation of books, magazines and periodicals in several parts but one declaration of entry shall be re- quired, was agreed to, The amendment offered yesterday by Mr. Vest providing that the general appraisers who originally acted on a case shall be excluded from the board of three general appraisers to which an appeal may be made, was discussed at much late NOMINATIONS TODAY.

After the reading of the journal the House proceeded to vote upon the passage of the bill for the classification of worsted cloths as woolen cloths, ViThe bill was passed—yeas 138, nays 0—the Speaker counting a quorum. ‘The text of the bill is as follows: That the Secretary of the Treasury be, and hereby is, auth ed and directed to classify as woolen cloths all imports of worsted cloth, whether known under the name of worsted cloth or under the names of worsteds or diagonals, or otherwise, THE SENATE SERVICE PENSION DILL, Mr. McKinley (Ohio), from the committee on rules, reported a resolution providing for the immediate consideration of the Senate service pension bill, to which the Morrill service pen- sion bill may be ordered as a substitute, the previons question to be considered as ordered at 4 o'clock. Mr. Carlisle (Ky.) protested against the adop- tion of resolutions of this racter, which took away from the committee of the whole the right to consider money bills and forced the House to a vote upon them after a brief debate. It was estimated that the Morrill bill involved an expenditure of €40,000,000, and the Senate bill an expendi- ture of 37,000,000. One of these bills it was proposed to pass after three hours’ debate. It was not fair to the members of the House; it was not fair to the taxpayers of the country. The Oklahoma bill had been takea out of the committee of the whole with the previous question ordered upon it. The same had been true of the great court bill. If this was nota confession that the new code of rules had failed to facilitate the business of the House, he did not understand its meaning. [Applause on democratic side. } MR. CARLISLE’S CRITICISM. Mr. Henderson (Iowa) inquired whether gen- tlemen on the other side would support meas- ures desired by the soldier, Mr. Carlisle said that he was not authorized to speak on this subject, but in his opinion there was not a majority on his side willing to give the soldiérs = what gentlemen on the other side said they wanted when the democrats were in the ma- jority, but there were gentlemen on the demo- cratic side who would give the soldiers more than the gentleman trom Iowa was willing to give them. Mr. Henderson—You are very liberal when you are ont of power. We took care of the soldiers when you had the majority; we mtend to take care of them now. Mr. Carlisle—The gentlemen on the other side were very extravagant when they were in the minority; they are very parsimonious now. Mr. Henderson—No pension legislation passed when you were in power without our votes, and none would have pussed. Mr. Carlisle—I do not know what the vote was, but I know what these measures are, and I know that they do not come up to the stand- ard demanded by gentlemen on the other side when they were in the minority, MR. M'KINLEY SAYS ACTION, AND NOT WORDS, I8 WANTED, Mr. McKinley argued that the resolution was justified under the present code of rules, Not only this, but it was justified by the prece- dents set by the House over which the to gentleman from Kentucky (Mr. Carlisle) presided. The republicans wanted to do the public business of the country. Taik about considering measures. The demo- crats considered and did nothing, the republi- cans considered and did something. What the country wanted was results, and not speeches, {Applause on republican side.} THE RESOLUTION ADOPTED. The resolution was adopted and Mr. Morrill (Kan.) took the floor in explanation and sup- port of bis bill, ere ANOTHER MURDER. Dennis Tinney Seriously Perhaps Fa- tally Wounded by Steve Burch. IT MAY BE A colored man named Steve Burch, who is also known as “Mullin,” while under the influ- ence of liquor yesterday afternoon, went to his home on Vermont Hill between Ver- mont avenue and 15th street and L ands M streets northwest, and, itis alleged, assaulted his wife.

ENTIO! The Woman's Foreign Missionary So- ciety in Session in This City. The first session of the twentieth annual as- sembly of the Woman's Foreign Missionary So- ciety of the Presbyterian Church was held this morning at 10:30 o'clock in the Church of the Covenant, The church was completely filled with ladies and it was a thoroughly femi- nine audience, If there was a man in the church besides the news- paper men he was not visible to the naked eye. On the platform, which was beautifully decorated with flowers, were seated the president of the society, Mrs. W. E. Schenck; the vice president, Mrs. Kumler; Mra, McKnight, Miss Nelson, Mra, Thorpe, Mrs. Pond, and the other officers and several of the more prominent members of the ciety. Stretched out upon the organ in full view of the audience was a large mis- sionary map of the world, with the relative parts of the earth’s surface marked out as they are occupied, whether by the Christian or heathen races. The map told the story of the objects of the society in most eloquent terms, ADDRESSES AND REPORTS. Mrs. D. O. McKnight of this city delivered an address of welcome. Mrs, Schenck responded in a brief address of thanks, The treasurer's report was read by Mrs. D. R. Posey, Mrs. J. M. Fishburn, the treasurer, being unable to attend. It showed the society to be in a very satisfac- tory condition financialiy, although the de- crease in legacies during the past year had cut down the receipts about 22,000, Miss F. U, Nelson read the report of the home secretaries, which reviewed the history of the society. The brief report of the work done by the so- ciety during the year 1889-90 shows that there are now 124 missionaries in the field, 18 at home and 10 sent out to their fields of work and 2 transferred to the occidental board, Five missionaries are now self supporting. There are ten missionary teachers, eighty-two native assistants, thirty-three boarding schools and one hundred and fifty-three day schoois, The contributions have at ited to F141,- 487.88, of which $1,988 has been expended in medical work and $18,020.54 for buildings, Th © forty-cight presbyterial societies, twenty-one new auxilaries and one hundred and sixty new bands, Thorpe, one of the foreign secre- the ort of foreign work ut the world. .
