The Big Corporation Goes On as if Nothing Had Happened. New Yorn, July 19.—The Western Union tele- Staph is today proving that great corporations Possess great energy and enterprise. The building at the corner of Broadway and Dey street presents the appeance of a bee hive. A small army of workmen was engaged in re- pairing the damage done yesterday. Never before has the Western Union Company been confronted by such ® condition, not one of the 1,200 wires running into the building could be used. ‘Their experionce with the blizzard was bad enough; but nothing to compare with yesterday.

Before the fire was out the immense energy of the corporation began to assert itself. Offices | were established all about the city. The great | system worked without a central point. What measures were taken yesterday to re- lieve the situation at that time are already known. But with the going down of the sun these efforts did not and the ceaseless energy kept men making almost superhuman efforts to restore affairs to their former shape. all through the night # force of men were busy cleaning the water and debris from the build- ing. A force of fifty limemen went up and down the poles and flitted about the streets with lan- terns like so many steel-spurred fire flies, Nine Men Sentenced.

The schooner Mary, thirty tons, owned by a poor fisherman at Placentia Bay, which was chartered by Chafe Roseblanche of West New- foundland to carry a cargo of dried codfish to St. Johns, arrived at St, Pierre loaded with 600 quintais and ten barrels of cod roes. On these latter are paid a bounty for French catch and cure of €4 per barrel.and are used in France as bait for the sardine fishery. The forcign article is consequently strictly prohibited. s=> The customs officer caught the crew of the Mary in the act of landing three barrels of roe, of the value of $9. The vessel was seized and a French guard putou board. The crew were lodged ashore waitiug trial before the superior court on Wednesday next, when a verdict will probably be rendered of forfeiture of the cargo, which is value at 23,000, and the vessel, valuod at $1,000, with a fine on the French purchaser. This is hard on Chafe, who is a stuggling young merchant, and it is bree 8 hard on the poor owner. Neither of these bad any com- plicity in the fraud, which was perpetrated by the crew to ohtain liquor. Freuch merchants are pressing the government to inflict the full jeev against Gooderidge, a leading St, 0 hne merchant and one of the principal pro- motets of the obnoxious bait bill, who is the consignee of the cargo und a creditor of Chafe, DEATH RATHER THAN CAPTURE, A Burglar Pursued and Cornered by Police Commits Suicide. ORIGINAL PACKAGES, {Continued from First Page. committee believed it to be for the best inter- ests of the national home and because it was the desire of the Senator from Maine, VERY UNUSUAL. Mr. Frye stated that it was very unusual in Maine for any member of the board to be relegated to private life ex- cept for cause. and added that both the Senators from that state believed that Mr, Hyde should be renominated. He was a good —— mau and had been ® prominent sol- ier, THE NEW BOARD OF MANAGERS. After further discussion the amendment was agreed to, modified by the insertion of the names of Mr. Gunkel and of Mr. Yoder. The paragraph now appoints as managers of the national home: Edmund N.

Hartranft, deceased; Lewis B, Gunckel of Ohio for the unexpired term of L. A. Harris, deceased; Wm. B. Franklin of Connecticut, Thomas W. Hyde of Maine, John C. Black of Illinois and Samuel 8. Yoder of Ohio. HOUSE, Mr. McRae (Ark.) introduced a joint resolu- tion directing the Secretary of the Interior to suspend the issue of patents for lands to the Union Pacific Railroad Company tntil the ad- jastment of the debt due the United States from said company and authorizing the At- torney General to institute such legal proceed- ings as may be, in hs opinion, necessary to subject the lands granted to and held by said company to the payment of the debt due the United States. Referred to the committee on public lands, THE ORIGINAL PACKAGE BILL. The Honse then resumed the consideration of the original package bill, Mr. Thompson of Obio said that it was con- tended thut the bill would violate the Consti- tution, and was an attempt to delegate to the states a power conferred upon Congress. He did not so understand it. He regarded it asa simple relation of commerce, an exercise of the power of Congress to regulate commerce among the states, not a delegation of that power, It did not interfere with interstate commerce, but it provided that the article im- ported into # state, when it was offered for sale, should become subject to the laws of that state, AGAINST PROUIBITION, Mr. Lohlbach (N.J.) said that the decision of the Supreme Court would never have been rendered had it not been that a few states of the Union had adopted pronibition, All the people of the United States were and should be opposed to the evils of intemperance. They were thoroughly confident that the adoption of prohibitory and local option laws was not in the interest of the good morals of the citizens and notin the interest of true temperance, In the prohibition states since the original package stores had been opened a moral de- pravity had been shown which could not be found inany place where open saloons flourished but where decent conduct and sobriety existed, intemperance had never been rooted out by legisiation. From his own personal observa- tion he was satisfied that INTEMPERANCE WAS ON A DECLINE. This was largely due to the use of that mild beverage—beer. To the prohibitionst and the fanatic, however, this was the most de- tested of all stimulants, They had not such a strong condemnation for the man who carried & bottle of whisky, under the guise of a Bible or prayer book, than for the man who drank beer, He eulogized the sobriety and industry of American citizens of German birth. In his city, Newark, the great aim of the citizens of German birth was to provide homes for themselves. On the books of the olf banks their names would be found en- rolle THEY DRANK BEER, it was trae; but it was used by many of them as an article of food in the family, taking the place of tenor coffee. He believed that the substitute proposed by the gentleman from lilinois (Mr, Adams) would meet the require- menty of the House. ‘There was one sure way in which the people of Kansas and Iowa could Set rid of the original package stores, and that was not to patronize them, Let the peopie do that, if the sentiment of the community was against these stores, and it would not be a week before the shutters wouid be put up and the front door closed, Mr. Lanham (Tex.) while condemning the evils of intemperance, expressed his opposition ‘0 the bill, basing that opposition on constitu- tional grounds, . = AGAINST THE DELEGATION OF POWER. Mr. Rogers (Ark.) opposed the Senate bill because he believed that it was a delegation of power which Congress had no right to make. ‘The same objection lay to the House substitute, but this measure was much more dangerous than that formulated by the Senate. If the state of Maine could prohibit the sale of liquors it could prohibit the sale of cotton seed oil; if Iowa could legislate against whisky it could legislate against tobacco, Retaliatory legisla- tion would follow and the whole country would be thrown into anarchy by reason of this re- taliation, PREFERS PERSONAL LIBERTY. Mr. Hayes (Iowa) opposed the legislation, preferring a little personal liberty to a good deal of sentimental state rights. He con- tended that the prohibitory law of Iowa was not enforced. and he denied, from observations made in a recent visit to his state, that there were any,original packzge valoons in lowa. At jeast he had not seen one nor had he heard of one being there until-he bad returned to Wash- ngton, Mr. Stewart (Vt.) declared that the drift of the Supreme Court had been constaztly in the direction of ceutralization. He was a republi- can, but he was a states rights man and as such he was in favor of the pending legislation. ERE eds UNDER THE DOME. Sloux City and Pacific Railroad In- debtedness—Commitice Room Notes. In the Senate today Mr. Frye, from the select committee on Pacific railroads, reported favor- ably, without amendment, the bill introduced by him July 1 authorizing the Secretary of the Treasury to settle the indebteduess of the Sioux City and Pacific railroad. The Secretary is authorized to negotiate with the company and make the best settlement he can for the government and execute the company aequittance in full of its obligations to the government, Provided, however, that noth- img contained in the bill’ shail be construed so as to affect any right that the United States uow bas or may hereafter have to recover against the suid com- pany, its officers. employes or agents by reason of any act nulawfully done in conneetion with the original construction of said railroad, THE ELECTION BILL. ‘The republican members of the Senate com- mittee on privileges and elections today re- sumed consideration of the federal elections bull, ‘They were also in session last night. The reason for this somewhat unusual devotion to business is said to be due toa desire to complete the preparation of a measure to be submitted to a caucus early next week, ‘ ‘THE MORMON CHURCH FUNDS. The House judiciary committee today ls- tened to an argument by Judge James O. Broad- head of St. Louis in opposition to the Senate bill | ehatrory for the application of the forfeited Mormon Church funds to the support of the common schools of the territory of Utah. Judge Broadhead’s contention was that bill was in violation of the general law respecting charities, in- asmuch as it proposed to diver. from its legitimate purposes monevs subscribed in aid GENERAL DEFICIENCY BILL.

One important provision states: ‘That here- after the Secretary of the Treasury shall in- clude in his annual report, in the statements of actual and estimated receipts and expenditures of the government, the rovenues from and ex- penditures on account of the postal service.” ‘The enactment of this provision and com- pliance with it on the part of the Secretary of the Treasury will result in presenting annually to the country in the one report where it will naturally be looked for a statement of the rev- enues raised from every source, and of all ex- penses incurred in operating the government, TAX SALES IN THE DISTRICT. In regard to tax sales in the District the bill Provides as follows: That the act entitled “An act prescribing the times for sales and for notices of sales of property in the District of Columbia for overdue tax: approved March 19, 1890, be, and the same is hereby. amended by striking out of lines fourteen. fifteen and sixteen of said act the words “‘which shall con- tain the name of each and eve! which each piece of property is gether with the amount of assessment upon each piece.” INTEREST ON DISTRICT JUDGMENTS. In regard to the interest on District of Co- jumbia judgments the bill, with the statement of the committee, states: “That hereafter interest, when authorized by law, on judgments against the District of Columbia, in suits begun after the passage of this act, shall be at the rate of not exceeding 4 per centum per annum.” On all jndgments against the District of Co- lumbin the United States pays one-half. includ- ing the interest, which runs at the rate of 6 per centum per annum from the date of rendition of the judgment until paid. The last issue of United States bonds was at only 3 per centum interest and was made subject to the call of the government for redemption. Nearly all of the District of Columbia debt is bearing interest at the rate of only 3.65 per centum per annum, By act of Congress passed February 1, 1588, judgments against the United States in cus- toms cases bear interest only at the rate of 3 per centum per annum. By act of Congress assed March 3, 1987, judgments against the United States under the jurisdiction conferred at that time on the federal courts bear interest at the rate of 4 per centum per annum.

The Caucus Committee in Session Again Today. The Senate republican caucus committee is in session today trying to arrange the order of business in the Senate for the rest of the ses- sion. There is a general understanding that the appropriations are to have the right of way until disposed of, and that the tariff bill will be next in order. If there is any inter- ening time when the appropriations are not ready forjconsideration, the tariff will be taken up and will then give way to let the appropria- tions come up when ready. The sundry civil bill, which has been under consideration ter a week, is expected to be completed today. The river and harbor bill i be next in order, with the possibility of « short tariff talk intervening. The appropria- tion for additional force of employes for the Pension Office has yet to be acted on and the general deficiency bill, which the House com- mittee has just reported, will come to the Sen- ate committee im about a week. There does not seem to be any doubt that if the federal election bill is taken up it will come after, not before, the tariff, There is considerable doubt about the effect of Mr. Blaine’s utterances with relation to th: dill, and there is a wide difference of opinion as to the advisability of adopting hi y suggestions at this time. ps the most common idea is that the Senate will follow the recommendations of the committee; but there is a chance that a provision may be in- serted into the bill that the repeal of the sugar duty shall not take effect at once. leay- ing time for the State Department to conduct negotiations such as Mr. Blaine desires. One thing that places Mr. Blaine’s proposi- tion at a disadvantage before Congress at this timue is that the majority having adopted free sugar as a fitting gift for the great peop! and having praised the gift that it may not fail to be properly appreciated, they may hesitate about taking it away again and letting it depend upon a trade. On this point there will bea conte between politics and statesmanship, If any- thing like proportionate time in comparison with that consumed by the sundry civil bill is taken for the discussion of the tariff bill it will be a very long time before that measure gets into conierence. And the chances are that the democrats will not do all the talking. In the discussion of the sundry civil Dill aboot am equal amount of time was taken up on the two sidesof the chamber. The tariff bill is a compromise measure, the various interests being balanced and braced against each other as best conld be done. Very few get all they want and many have to yield in the interest of harmony of party action. Consequently, republican Sen- ators as well as democrats will want consider- able time for discussion, that they may have opportunity to explain some things which may not be satisfactory to their constituents. All this makes it appear that the federal election bill will be late at the banquet and it will be # long time before adjournment. HE 1S CHARGED WITH BIGAMY. The Case of Thomas J. Sweeney in the Police Court. The case of Thomas J. Sweeney, charged with bigamy in marrying the widow Oliver under the name of Aunie E.
