MEMBERS PAIRED NOW NUMBER 122. —_——___. SENATE. Mr. Cullom offered a resolution (which went over till tomorrow) directing the Secretary of the Treasury to report to the Senate by what authority merchandise in bond and goods of domestic origin are permitted to be forwarded between the Atlantic and Pacific ports of the United States over the Canadian Pacific rail- way, such merchandise on arrival at Van- couver being there transhipped, and whether or not such transportation and transhipment on foreign territory is consistent with the safety of the revenue, Also other facts in that connection, ‘MR. SHERMAN’S FINANCIAL BILL. Mr. Sherman, from the finance committee, reported a substitute for a bill introduced by him on the 16th of May to reduce the amount of United States bonds tobe required of na- tional banks and to restore to the channels of trade the excessive accumulations of lawful money in the Treasury. Placed on the calen- dar, with a notice by Mr. Sherman that he would ask the Senate to consider it very soon. ‘The substitute provides that the compulsory way bepioararte of deposit of United States bonds with the treasurer of the United States by na- tional ks shall be limited in amount to #1,000 of bonds for each bank, provided that the vol- untary withdrawal of bonds for the retirement of national bank notes shall not exceed three millions in any mouth, and also provided that the act shall not apply to the deposit of bonds to secure deposits of public monoys; also pro- viding that national banks shall be entitled to secure circulating notes not exceeding the whole amount of the par value of the bonds deposited, and that atno time the total amount of such notes shall exceed the amount of capi- tal stock actually paid in. Senate bill granting to the state of Washing- ton asection of public land for a soldiers’ home and asa training ground for the state militia was taken from the calendar and passed. THE SUNDRY CIVIL BILL. The Senate resumed consideration of the sundry civil appropriation bill at page 50, the first item being one of $200,000 for surveying the public lands, the committee on appropria- tions recommending an increase of that amount to $600,000. Mr. Gorman explained the amendment, stat- ing that the object of it was to throw open to settlement the land intended (by the act of Oc- tober, 1888,) to be reserved for irrigation. Mr. Carlisle asked whether that applied to reservoir sites not yet surveyed or segregated, Mr. Gorman said that in a subsequent amend- ment it was provided that reservoir and canal sites heretofore located or selected should re- main segregated and reserved from entry or settlement. The question, he said, had been presented fairly and squarely BY MAJOR POWELL, director of the geological survey, who claimed that the vast territory—the arid region, com- prising 1,200,000 square miles—could not be used except by the utilization of the water for irrigation pur 6 and that if those lands were to be opened to settlemen: and to pass out of the hands of the government. they. would be seized by: organized companies, He ow Gorman) thought there was great danger at that might be so. On the other hand he realized the injury that would be done to those new communities by keeping the lands closed to settlement. He had come to the conclusion, reluctantly, and with full knowledge of the possible abuses that might occur, that under all the circum- stances it was probubly wiser and better for all interests that the appropriation for the survey of the public iands should be increased three- fold so as to have all the lands thrown open to settlement, The question gave rise to along discussion, participated in by Messrs. Vest, Reagan, Jones of Arkansas and Teller. ‘he latter declared that the construction given to the irrigation act of 1889 (reserving for settlement not only the sites for reservoirs and for ditches but the irrigable lands themselves) was most harmful, and that under that construction there were 1,350,000 square miles of the public domain in which THE SETTLEMENT LAWS WERE SUSPENDED, That might seem to some people to mean lit- tle; but it meant great hardship and suffering and distress, Mr. Morgan inquired whether the act of 1888 had ever been considered by the committee on public lands. Mr. Teller replied in the negative. He said that the provision had been put in the bill by @ conference committee and that nobody con- nected with it on either side had ever dreamed that such @ construction would be put upon it. HOUSE, Mr. Enloe (Tenn.), referring to his correc- tion of the Record made yesterday upou an immaterial point, stated that the manuscript of the official reporters was absolutely cor- rect, but that the omission had occurred in the printed Record, and the Record was amended so as to correspond with the report- er’s transcript. SIX HUNDRED AND THIRTY-SIX MORE CLERKS NEEDED, Mr. Cannon (Ill) moved that the House go into committee of the whole for the considera- tion of the bill appropriating $636,189 for an additional clerical force to earry into effect the provisions of the dependent pension act. The additional force provided for is 626, Pending this motion he moved that the gen- eral debate be limited to two hours, ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY-TWO MEMBERS PAIRED. Agreed to—yeas, 114; nays, 60. One hun- dred and twenty-two members were announced a8 paired on this vote. The previous motion was then agreed to— yeas, 135; nays, 37—and accordingly the House went into committee of the whole, Mr. Bur- rows (Mich.) in the chair, on the bill stated. MB. DOCKERY'S CRITICISM. Mr. Dockery (Mo.) criticised the majority of the committee on appropriations for not re- porting a bill making an appropriation to pay the pensions which would be granted under the de dent pension bill, and intimated that the fe was attributable to political reasons. ‘The appropriation would not be made before the Novem! elections. Mr. Cannon said that the money would Le appropriated and paid just as as the pension certificates were issued. Mr. Dockery charged that the rity was fobs dee! by the startling app which had been made at the present session and was running away from the provisions of the pen- sion laws and refusing to a the neo- essary money until after the election, ‘MB. CUTCHEON’s QUESTION. Mr. Cutcheon (Mich.) inquired whether the gentleman had any doubt that the appropria- tions already made would cover all pension claims which it be adjudicated before the 8, the majority to bring in an enormousdeficiency bill after the election. Mr. Sayres (Tex.) predicted that the next session of would be called upon to appropriate no less than forty million to supply deficiencies in the appropriations for the pay- ment of pensions, WHAT MR.JENLOE THINKS, Mr. Enloe (Tenn.) thought that before an increase of force was granted the Pension Bu- reau it should be ascertained whether the charges brought against the present commis- sioner were true, “it had been alleged in a resolution offered by Mr. Cooper (Ind. the commissioner had changed the of the department in the interest of a pension attorney in this city. ——— BAD FOR OFFICE SEEKERS, A Provision That May Reduce the Num- ber of Applicants. CERTIFICATES OF RESIDENCE REQUIRED—DIFFI- CULTIES THAT MAY ARISR—HOW IT AFFECTS TEMPORARY RESIDENTS OF THE DISTRICT—A FORM PREPARED BY THE COMMISSION. The civil service commission are in quite a quandary as to what will be the natural out- come of a provision in the legislative, executive and judicial appropriation act approved July 11. In the act the appropriation for the use of the commission is not made and then comes the following words: “Provided that hereafter every application for examination before the civil service com- mission for appointment in the departmental service in the District of Columbia shall be ac- companied by a certificate of an officer, with his official seal attached, of the county and state of which the applicant claims to be a citizen that such applicant was at the time of making such application an actual bona fide resident of said county, and had been such resident for a period of not less than six months next preceding; but this provision shall not apply to persons who may be in the service and seek promotion or appointment in other branches of the government.” REDUCING THE NUMBER OF APPLICANTS, One of the commissioners said to a Star re- porter this morning that the first effect of the provision would be to largely diminish the number of applicants for examination. This willin a way make the work easier for the commissioners, but it will complicate matters for office seekers to an alarming extent, In the first place the federal government has imposed upon minor officials who are not subordinates of the federal government the duty of certifying to the applications without making any provision to enforce compliance with the act. If the county officer decides that he would rather not certify to any per- son’s name, there is, so faras now known, no way of making him doit. This might even furnish a very easy way of satisfying an old grudge against a person who is Gesirous of en- tering the government service. APPLICANTS FROM THE DISTRICT. But according to the commissioners the law will work with most severity in the case of ap- plicants from the District of Columbia who nevertheless have an actual residence else- where, It now becomes necessary for them to furnish testimonials from a county officer at their place of legal residence, and this will un- doubtedly cause a vast amount of difficulty in cases where the applicant is not iy known to the officers, For the officer must swear thas of his own knowledge the applicany is a resident of his state and county. He cannot take the sworn testimony of the applicant, nor will hearsay evidence be of the slightest avail. Ascan be readily seen the dif- ficulties and complications arising from this provision in the law are likely to prove numerous, and the outcome of it all is looked for with a good deal of interest. There is no doubt that those who filed their applications before the law went into effect have saved themselves a great deal of trouble and possible disappointmens. THE FORM OF CERTIFICATE. The civil service commission has provided the following form of certificate, under the Provisions of the act, to be used with the pres- ent form of application: -in and for the county of....

Young Women Examined for Places in the Engraving Bureau. The rooms of the Civil Service Commission today had a good deal the look of the examina- tion rooms in a female boarding school, for 147 young women were crowded into the rooms, each seated at a small table, busily at work at an examination for the position of printer's as- sistant at the Bureau of Engraving and Print- ing. The examination was very simple and rudimentary, being confined almost en- tirely to questions relating to the work, which is itself almost entirely mechanical. The list of eligibles for appointment to these positions in the bureau has been almost exhausted and the fact that appointments are frequent, taken in connec- tion with the nature of the examination, ac- couuted for the large number of applicants, There were so muny of these that the examina- tion room could not accommodate more than one half of them, so the old Circuit Court room down stairs was called into requisition for the day and — over to the use of the writers, Sprinkled in among all these young women were five men, who were being examined for the position of skilled helpers to the printers. THE COMMISSION SUSTAINED. A Civil Service Case Decided by the At- torney General. ‘The Attorney General has rendered a decision in the case of the three railway transfer clerks at Albany, N.Y.. in which he sustains the de- cision of the civil service commission.

The Number of Killed and Hurt in the Cyclone Increases. INCIDENTS OF THE TWO DISASTERS. AN EYE WITNESS. How the Sea Wing Became the Toy of the Wind and Drowned its Freight. St. Pact, Mixx., July 15.—L. 8. Bayrell of Argyle, Minn., was on the ill-fated steamer Sea Wing when she turned over. He tells the following story: There were just 215 people on the steamer when she left the first regi- ment camp on her return voyage. There was evidently quite a heavy storm brewing and the wind was blowing quite a gale, but every one seemed to feei entirely safe. When the boat was about in the middle of the lake the wind was dead abead and blowing great guns. The captain, evidently becoming uneasy, shouted to the pilot, “Hold her to the Wis- consin shore.” The pilot stuck to his post nobly, but the vessel in veermg round caught the wind on her beam, and after a mo- mentary stagger careened, bottom upward. | The scene was simply awful. Words cannot adequately depict the struggles of the multi- tude thus precipitated into the seething caul- dron into which the usually peaceful lake had been lashed by the fury of the winds. The hatches had not been fastened down, as was reported, and the people in the cabin rushed on deck. Many of them jumped from the deck | tothe barge. and three swam ashore. After the boat turned over the tow ropes were cut and the two vessels drifted apart. From the water scores of women and children sent up | a last and agonizing shrick of despair as the | angry flood closed over them, The greater portion were carried under by the suction as the steamer turned bottom upward and were unable toswimout, The water about the boat was soon dotted by the heads of the stronger | swimmers, and in a few moments some twenty- five were safely lodged upon the overturned boat, A TERRIBLE SCENE. Those first gaining the temporary place of safety assisted others in cliinbing upon the slippery surface, and in ten minutes ail the human beings in sight were upon the boat. Just as the storm was subsiding and hope was strong within them the boat gave another lurch | and more lives were lost. en the boat be- gan to careen so fearfully i leaped from the steamer to the barge, and when the ropes were cut we driftedaway from her some distance, and I was able to see almost everything that Tat going on. The sight was sublime in its terrible aspect. The heavens were black with , clouds and the waves were lashed into moun- | tains by the strong wind. I can't begin to pic- | ture the scene. The _heartrending | shrieks and cries of agony that went up from the waves would have apd with horror the hardest hearts. Here and there could be seen as a flash of lightning revealed them the white dress of some poor woman or child. One poor creature I saw go down clinging to her child, whom she had been trying to save. The mother had fastened life preserver abont her waist and with its aid was trying to keep herself and child afloat until help could reach them. Suddenly I saw the woman release the hold she had upon the child and sink beneath the water. She did anid again and the child soon followed its mother. ‘THE WORK OF RESCUE. As soon as the word reached the camp volun- teers were called for, and every man volun- teered to assist in rescuing the living or searching for the dead. Adjt. Gen. Mullen immediately took charge of the regiment, and search was begun apd carried on vigor- ously. Invaluable aid in the work, both of resuscitation and laying out the dead, was rendered by the excellent ambulance corps, which had been but recently organized. The body of Knute Peterson was found about amile up the shere, but the others were all taken out of or close around the wreck. The watches on the different bodies had stopped at from 8:15 to 8:30, showing pretty accurately the time of the wreck, but Peterson’s watch had kept going for some three hours in the water, onal stopped at 11:30. Surgeon Fitzgerald says that there was scarcely any evidence of any struggle on partof the unfortunates, Neither had any of the bodies any bruises or other marks of injury upon them. Death was quick and painless, The fact that the militia was within easy call undoubtedly resulted in the saving of many lives. When morn- img came the weary all-night workers were relieved and the work went on success- fully and smoothly. The barge lay quictly on the water just above town and near it, lying on its side, was the wreck of the steamer. With axes holes were chopped in the decks and ropes fastened to the es, Which were drawn to the surface, carried ashore and turned over to the ambulance corps. Thebodies of those who went down with the steamer were taken out of the cabin through a hole cut in the pilot house and through the cabin doors, CUTTING INTO THE CABIX. Believing that still some bodies were to be found in the wreck Gen. Mullen ordered that its Upper works be torn away and that it be towed nearer the shore and righted. This work was done by the boats Lucila and the Ethel Howard. As soon as the wreck could be | got wt in its new position Gen. Mullen and his military helpers examined every portion of the Sea Wing, and recovered three more bodies, a the total up to sixty-five. The sbat-| tered hulk was then left to drift at will, A/ systematic patrol of the water over which the hulls had drifted after being first struck by the | gale has been kept up by citizens of Lake City. After the last bodies had been taken from the wreck Gen. Mullen pressed into service all the row boats within reach, and, with four soldiers in each boat, began a thorough dragging of the lake ail about the scene of disaster. No bodies were found. Dynamite will be used today. Therewere many who made use of the life preservers, but probably none bad as good and as much use of them as had Robert Adams, the seventeen-year-old son of Dr. Adams of gy hy and another boy, whose home is in Red Wing. They secured three life and were in the water for six hours before being rescued. YoungAdams could swim, but his companion couid not. They had the sense to float quietly. They first drifted it & mile down past the town and then a chunge in the wind carried them up the river to Frontenac, where they were res- cued by Dr. Kain and party. i He dit rfid | Hf was brought into requisition in the hope that it would be of belp in bringing some of the es yet unrecovered nes to the surface, The country people who drove in from ail direo- tions yesterday were again on hand this morning, and residents of Lake City were alse there at anearly hour watching the workera The military guard was kept up all beach and they kept bac -@ as they had done yesterday, in no way reminds one of the great had come upon this whole of the state, Goodhue which Red Wing is seat, reaches to the edge of Lake disaster occurred in the limite of This fact and the residence of most tims at Red Wing was what took the oes my 4 at once, the coroner there charge of them at once and preparing inquest, which will be bean tar. ‘May I be prepared to go,” was found writtes on the fly leaf of a worn little testament that HH | itt & } £ & z Lf was picked up by one of the mili soarchers around the Sea Wing at Lake City Sunday night. and the owner of the little bad gone to meet her God. Solemn faces and thoughts are universal in this city of the andall hearts are made tender and close together by a common grief. TRE DAY OF FUNERALS, Fred Seaver floated for six hours on the face of the waters, with young Adams, of Lake City and was then brought to shore and life, to find his father and sister were drowned. The sixty-six bodies that were taken to Redwood yesterday were laid out in an empty store room, and to thie place of death came mourning friends toclaim their dead or to look in vain for the absent, All day long the long mere boxes, that suggest heartaches and beart- wreaking, were being carried from this store room to the stricken homes of the city, and at many 8 hearthstone but one or two survivors of a family awaited the coming of the mortal clay of their loved ones. This isa day of funerals, nearly all the dead bodies yet recovered being carried to the “God' Acre.” where the last words of farewell consolation are being spoken, and the falling earth, as it strikes the coffin lid, beats upon the hearts of the mourners and the agony of their grief again comes over them. —_ THE CYCLONE AT THE LAKES. The List of Dead Now Numbers Thirteen and Many are Missing. Mirxrarouis, Mixx., July 15.—Another vies tim of the lake cyclone died yesterday. It was Mrs, John Clarke, whose home at Little Canada. was wrecked. Her left arm was torn off and her lung exposed. She died in great agony. A-liver pierced her husband just above the heart, and though he hovers botween life and death it 1s thought he has a chance to recover. The house of Robert Baumgarduer near by was also completely wrecked, but the oo caped by going into the cellar, THE DEATH List, These are the names of the dead and missing at Lake Gervais, the scene of Sunday night's vornado: O. A. Anderson, L. Creamer, Johanna Hum- phert, Mrs. Ed. Larson. eter Meisen, J. Geo, diiller, the Kev. Dr. Phaefle of Brennan, Texas; Mrs. Ole Nelson, Mary Obern, ‘Martin O'Shaugunessy, Mrs. J. H. Schudmaier, Char- ley Schudmaier. Mrs. John Clarke, The seriously injured are Miss Minnie Meiss, breast badiy crushed and back seriously cut, not expected to live; Frank Melancon, seriously cut about bead, will probably die; Mrs, Lydia Ann Melancon, head ladiy cut and body bruised; —— Guenther, abrasions and internal injuries; Simon Good, bruised about bead and chest, in- ternal injuries; J. H. Schurmeier, er., badly cut about head and chest, two ribs broken; Mra, Simon Good, contusion of the eye and pad scalp wounds; Mrs. Hubert Schurmeier, head badly bruised and one eve destroyed. Beside those dead whose names are given there are fifteen or twenty other people miss- ing and the washing up of row boats and por- tions of buggies indicate that the lake still contains corpses. The list of injured runs = to twenty-tive, three of whom may die, Hugo , some of them three and e half feet in diameter, have been broken off close to the ground and are scattered about in all direc tions, and saplings which bent before the gale stand completely stripped of their bark. In the lake, 50 feet from shore, are two horses which were carried there from the Schurmeier stable. Chickens without a feather left on them litter the ground and articles of ti BE f wearing ap- — are to be seen sticking in trees and bushes alfa mile away. In the swamp near the lake shore are a number of splinters and boards sticking bolt upright like a held of coors, THE TRACK OF THE STORM. All along the road from Lake Gervais to Lake Vadnais the houses have been more or less damaged. Some have half the shingles all torn off the roofs, others their chimneys blown down, Whole sections of others carried away. One brick house had nearly half the bricks torn off of one side, Nearly all of the houses and hotels in the vicinity have been turned into temporary hospitals. At Paul Mel- lette’s residence at Little Canada are Moses Melancon, Lydia Ann, his wife, and Frank, George and Jennie, his children, ali of whom are more or less injured. Frank is so crushed about the vody that it is feared he can- not live. At Kohimann's Hotel are Minnie Meiss and Joseph Lurnard. Mins Meiss is suffering in- tensely from a wound in her chest, made by an iron spike, which was driven almost her body. and her recovery is considered ale most impossible. Barnard, who is foreman at the St. Paul Carriage Company's works, was struck by a fying timber and c1 against atree. He will probably recover. At the resi- dence of John Fous is Mixs Carrie Meiss, who is so badly cut and bruised about the head that it is feared she will loose the sight of one eye, MANY MAIMED FOR LIFE. At the Farmers’ Hotel in Little Canada are Mrs. E. L. Harvey and her daughter, Stella, Mrs, Harvey's head is badly cut and bruised and her daughter has a brokenarm. Beside these a number of others were brought to the city. Mrs. Hub Schurmeier received serious injuries about the head and lost the sight of one eye. The storm struck a French settlement half a mile north of Little Canada, completely demolishing five houses. At Frank Gutzke’s place on the southeast shore of Lake Gervais, besides himself and family of four, there were about twenty visit- ors who had sought shelter there. The cyclone struck the house and lifted it bodily from ite foundation, but fortunately not one of the in- mates was injured. The storm really com- menced between Snail and Turtle lakes, and passed over them, striking the northern part of Little Canada, thence on to the Schurmier and Good cottages; across Lake Gervais to Gut- zke’s place, then in # northeasterly direction te Farmer Wilham Brown's place, where it disap- red. Its track was about forty-five miles jong and from a quarter to half a mile in width, ‘The bodies of Mrs. Schurmeier and her som Charles and the Rev. Mr. Phaefle have not been recovered. It is almost certain that the: are at the bottom of the lake. Of the in! it is now almost certain that old Mr. Melancon and his son Frank will die. The others are resting easily and will doubtless recover. cthctny at tony TRAINMEN DEMAND MORE PAY. The Big Four and Santa Fe Systems Threatened With Strikes.
