Mr. Hampton was ready with a speech when Mr. Pasco end who spoke in favor of the bill. Speeches then followed from Morgan, Reagan and Faulkner. AN EXCITING THE. ‘The most exciting time was wher, just before 1 o'clock, Mr. Hoar moved to ley the Batler amendment ou the table, and, though an amendment to the amendment was then pend- | ing, the Vice Presidest decided that the motion was in order, and it was carried. ‘Mr. Gorman objected that the motion was not im order, for the reason that the amendment to | the amendment must be first disposed o ‘There was a most confusing and noisy discussion on this question, and an ap-| peal was taken from the decision of | the chair. The decision was sustained by a vote of 31 to 15. Mr. Faulkner then took | the floor, it being then just 11 o'clock. Until | 10:55 o'clock this morning he was talking in a| clear, loud voice and showing no evidence of fatigue, though he had held the floor for twelve hours without leaving his place. 129 this morning. when Mr. Sanders made a point of no quorum. until after 9 o'clock Tice cere lang porlods of interruption for | want of « quorum, but Mr. Faulkner could not Teave bis place fora moment, even when not actually talking. FRESH AND SMILING TODAY. ‘The freshness of the Senators after an all. night session indicates remarkable staying qualities, and gives promise of a long fight. ‘The Senators on both sides are evidently taking cave of their strength, and the seasion may not lose before Monday. | SENDING FOR ABSENT SENATORS. At 120 this morning Mr. Sanders called the attention of the presiding officer to the ab- | sence of a quorum and roll call indicated | that but thirty-six were present.

AVAILABLE MATERIAL. “After all the league and association clubs have signed their teams there will be enough unemployed recognized good ball players to make ten first-class nines. You see the disso- lution of the Players’ has made lots of players available. Some of them will return to the league and some will be left out in the cold, because the National League developed a num- ber of first-class players whom it will prefer to some of the back numbers. In addition to this, however, the new rule adopted by which no club is allowed to sign more than fourteon men will throw out plenty of good men who were carried by the rich clubs, “Where THE NEW CLUBS GET IN THE FINE WORK is right here. The American Association has passed a resolation, and the league will adopt it today, by which any player who is not signed among the fourteen men cach club is allowed to carry will be in the market after the ist of February, and any club can sign him Without paying « gent to the club which had reserved him. See? We will have just as good & chance as anybody in the mélee, but besides that some of the overloaded léague clubs have promised us to release certain good men that we want. ‘That will be the basis from which to work. ‘The day of big salaries is over.

Mr. Vance appeared atone of the cloak room doors, and his name was called, but he stepped back into the room, sying thathe did not desire recognition. He was, however, recorded as present. MR. FAULKNER TAKES A PEESH START. The appearance of Mr. George at 5:45 com- pleted the quorum (on the roll call) and Mr. Faulkner made another start on his speech against the bul, although there were not twenty Senators within hearing of his voice. At 6 o'clock Mr. Gorman made another effext to close the day's session and spoke of the fu- tile exforts ever sance midnight toget a quoram Prssent. He moved to dispense wita all fur- ther proceedings under th: cail, so a not to ststurb Scnators who are indisposed and to give to the Senators present and the officers of the Senate a chance to go home and get their Dreaafast, so as to get back at 10 o'cloe AT SIXES AND SEVENS. Mr. Vance said that he would supplement that statement by a matter of statistics. ‘There were just thirteen Senators present and seven of them were democr sts. “That is why we are at sixes and sevens,” Mr. Edmunds remarked, with a laugh.

To that end Agent Key carries with him tags, made after the style of railroad tags, and when disabled animals are found on the street or elsewhere and their owners cannot be found one of the tags is tied to the animal. The name of the Humane Society is printed on either side of the card and on one side is also printed the following: ‘THE LAW oIvEN. The laws of this District provide that who- ever overloads, overdrives, overworks, tortures, torments, deprives of food or water, fails to provide shelter and protection from the weather, cruelly beats, mutilates or abandons any animal shall be fined not more than $250 or imprisoned not more thag one year, or both.

Although Washington will be the scene of the annual meeting of the League of American Wheclmen for the purpose of electing officers and other business this year it is quite certain that the city will not be chosen as the place for holding the annual mect of the organization. Efforts have been made at various times to rouse interest cnough in the ranks of the local wheehnen to insure the bringing of the meet here once more, but without success, and the latest attempt of this sort has had’ the same fate. The meeting will be held on the 16th of February, and then the question of the place for the meet will be decided. Mr. George 8. Atwater, the chief consal of this division, told a Stan reporter this morning that Detroit will undoubtedly be selected» The east has been favored with the place of the mect for the past three years and the westerners are now makin, a tremendous effort to reverse the order ot things. It is expected that the league will not consider any other cities in view of this senti- ment. Washington ix always the first choice ofa majority of the members of the L.A.W., but the lack of local cffort sufficient to insure a successful meet has always prevented the selec- tion of this city. Still, it is expected the holding of the annual meeting here will tend to arouse a certain amount of enthusiasm among the local wheelmen that may be useful in the future for the purpose of getting the meet held ere. a ARRESTED FOR FORGERY. A Richmond Lawyer Said to Be = Check Raiser. Yesterday afternoon Detective Muhon ar- rested a man named A. B. East, who is charged in Richmond with forgery in raising a check drawn by H. T. East for $35 t- $135, and Sergeant Hall of that city took him back to Virginia on the 1:30 o'clock train this morn- ing. East had been living in Rich- mond some time, having an office as a lawyer, and his wife, a remarkably pretty woman, came here some days before him and located on Pennsylvania avenue near 3d street. When East arrived, however, he took rooms on Lonisiana avenue near the post office. Sergt. Hall arrived on Thursday, but. finding the pa- pers somewhat defective, went back to Rich- mond to have, the papers properly drawn, and returned here last evening, telegraph: ing to police headquarters in’ the mean- time. Detective Mahon, who had been shadowing East, last evening took him in custody and locked him up in the first pre- cinct station until the sergeant’s arrival. He made no objection to returning to Richmond and when Sergeant Hall arrived was ready to £2 with bim by the firat train, “It is anid that je was once a judge at Newark, Ohio. ee All About the Indians, At the Capitol Hill High School yesterday af- ternoon the regular Friday lecture hour was oc- cupied by Dr. Daniel Dorchester, United States superintendent of Indian schools, and Principal W. B. Backus of the Indian Industrial School at Genoa, Neb. Dr. Dorchester has traveled some twenty thousand miles in the Indian coun- try during the past twenty months and visited over two hundred Indian schools. His account of the work of the schools, the character of the red men and the wild scenery of the west was full of interest. Still more interesting, if pos- sible, was the dexeription by Prof. Backus of the scene and causes of the recent Indian out- break, which occurred only a short distance from the location of his schoo!. He held the attention of the boys and girls as he vividly ictured the details of the fight at Wounded nee. At the close Mr. Sites, the principal, ex- pressed the thanks of pupils and teachers to the speakers for their timely and entertaining ad- iresses. ees Alexandria County News. ‘The farmers and gardeners are making ready for their year's work and anticipate a good crop year. Poultry raising is receiving much attention in the county, several large establish- ments with incubators having been started. ‘The people of the county are very much en- cournged at the prospects of building two electric railroads through the county from Washington city, one to Mt. Vernon, the other to Falls Church.’ In case Congress grants the right to pass through the Arlington cstate it is understood that both companies are ready to commence constructing the roads immediately. Considerable attention is now being paid to widening aud improving the county roads, brought about by the increasing wealth and population of the county. ‘The regular meet- ing of the literary society of the county was held last night at the residence of Mr. L.

PaTTI's INTEN- ‘TIONG—MRS. JAMES BROWN POTTER'S COMING SEASON—AN ENGLISH RACE HORSE. Special Cable Letter to The Evening Star. Loxpox, Jan. 17.—The last scene in the career of the enlightened and enterprising Duke of Bedford occurred yesterday. His remains were removed in an elm coffin, cov- ered with a white cloth, at an early hour in the morning to >Woking, twenty-four miles from here, on the Southwestern line, to the crema- torv of the Cremation Society, of which his grace was a leading member. The crematory itself cost £1,600 and is a structure in which the average citizen might be well satisfied to undergo a process that is rapidly becoming de rigueur in the highest circles here. ‘ter the incineration was con- eluded the ashes were placed in a heart-shaped ietnplametire, were ‘placed in ae fly ma were vault of the Trumella "5 These are the short and simple annals of the burial of one of the wealthiest of England's nobles. Compared with the costly and osten- tatious mortuary its that were once in yogue here, but which are g into desue- tude, it was simplicity itself. The death of the duke calls to mind the fact that, soon after Mr. Burnand became the editor, Punch instituted 8 sort of war against his grace of Bedford, on account of the condition of Covent Garden Market, which was at that time in s very un- savory state. To such an extent was this car- time he was known as “The Duke of Mud a id the market was called from his new title “(Mud Salad Market.” Whether the cartoons and the other means used aan the conscience of his grace had much effect is at least open to question, for the market is still scarcely the spot a man with & sensitive stomach would select to spread a frugal meal on the pavement if he had no table cloth, while on the other hand any minute Portion would be a rich ficld for a bacteriolo- gist seeking new forms of animal life from the refuse of decomposed vegetables. . ANOTHER NOTABLE DEAD. ‘The obituary roll of the week was further in- creased yesterday by the death of the Earl of Devon, who, when he was known as Edward Baldwin Courtney, before he was called to the stately precinets of the hereditary chamber, was well known by the euphemistic title which con- ¥eys so much in so little—‘a man about town.” He wns a great supporter of the stage, not only in a theoretical, but in a practical manner, as he did much to advance the fortnnes of a num- ber of well-known actresses who haye achieved success. TEA $27.50 4 POUND. A sousation has been produced in tea-drink- ing circles. This is equivalent to safing the whole of the “tight little island” has been made to open its eyes in wonder and amaze, for the afternoon tea table isan institution, and the teaming pot exercises aa potent a sway over the minds of every member of the family as any idol worshiped by the “‘ontcast heathen.” ‘The cause of all this “table talk” is the price some Ceylon yellow tea has brought. “My dear, I call that positively drinking money,” is what a well-known and rather ec- centric lady said to her informant. During the aia of the week there was asalo in Mincing Lune of a certain quantity of this tea which produced the very respectable price of $22 pound. That the purchasers were shrewd is proved by the fact that yester- day they resold the same at $27.50 a pound, which at a moderate computation would make every cup of tea made from it cost about 40 cents. LIMITING PICTURES AT THE PARIS SALON. ‘The committee on painting at the old salon in Paris, which is the unrivalled mistress of the pictorial art in France and of weight and con- juence all over the world of art, has decided tolimit pictures of the future exhibitions to the number of 1,800 instead of 2,500, as it for- merly stood, and drawings to 400 instead of 800, as was the usual number hitherto. Thie resolution will insure that none but the ver; choicest works of art will find admission to this painter's paradise, of inferno, as tuck may cic MUSICAL AXD DRAMATIC. Madame Albani, the great prima donna asso- Juta, will resume her natural and proper posi- tion as the leading soprano singer of the coming season of Italian opera in Londor. Her only rival, Mme. Patti, has accepted engagements for the spring in Berlin and Nice and will in consequence abandon for the present her pro- jected visit to Russia. ‘The police who, in accordance with the late edict, had seized the money subscribed for the Patti concerts, which were announced by M. Zet but did not take place, have decided to hold the money until ‘the engagement shall be fulfilled and has offered the amende honorable to the prima donna, and suggests certain terms, which would prob- ably have been satisfactory to the diva had they not been made too late. Mme. Patti will take a long holiday at Nice free from the cares of her voice and her business, and during her hiber- nation the castle of Craig-y-nox will be enlay and beautified and many new bed rooms will be added for the accommodation of the numerons guests with whom Mme. Patti delights to sur- round herself. An English billiard room, with all the latest improvements, tables, lights, &c., will Le constructed, so that lively times may be looked for in the old Welsh fortalice. ‘The well-known composer and musical con- ductor, Henschel, has been offered the director- shi of the Philharmonic society's concerts in York, which position is left vacant by the resignation of Theodore ‘Thomas, the con- fessedly best symphony conductor in the United States, who will transfer his talents to New York's rapidly rising rival, Chicago. But Mr. Henschel, ike a prudent man, prefers to stay and enjoy his well-earned reputation in Europe rather than risk it in America, especially after such aman as Thomas, who has proved him- self to be a giant in hisart. So Henschel will stay at home and leave the Philharmonic So- ciety of New York to go farther and, per- hap, fare worse. ‘Mrs. James Brown Potter's press agent is putting in his work with the papers here in preparation for that lady's forthcoming veason. he paragraphist is determined that her name and that of Kyrle Bellew sball not fade from the minds of men before they appear. He states, and he surely coughs to know, that she han greatly improved in her art, which she still insifts on spelling with a capital A, as in the dars when she had a mission to clavate the stage. Among the picces in which she will be seen are “Camille” and “Frou-Frou,” both of which were shown to a non-appreciative Ameri- can public. , But so far, except “Hero and Leander,” the name of no new play is men- tioned in which the distinguished two will appear.

AN ENGLISH RACER COMING. ‘The lovers of high-class racing and all who are interested in the improvement of the breed of American horses and the encouragement of the turf generally will rejoice to learn that the celebrated three-year-old, Simon Magar, by St. Simon, out of Wheel of Fortune, whose record is of the highest, left Dawson stable at New Market yesterday on his way to the United States, where doubtless fresh triumphs and gains await him, ——— CRIMINAL COURT MATTERS, Count de Arnaad's Case Set for Trial—Plead- ings and Sentences.

What an Examination of Mr. Ruffin's Sure- tes Showed. Robert D. Ruffin, who is charged in the Crim- inal Court with false pretenses, was called this morning to plead to the indictment and failed toappear. His bond was forfeited and judg- ment for $500 entered up against him and his surety, Agnes Robinson, a clerk in Rufin's office. A bench warrant was issued and Ruffin was brought in court in custody of Deputy Marshal Joyce. C. C. Cole appeared for the aceused and the forfeiture of the recognizance was ordered to be wet aside. Agnes Robinson was again offered as surety. She was examined under oath as to her property, and during the examination it was developed that the title to the property had been conveyed to Ruffin. She claimed that ehe paid cash for the real estate, which she valued ‘at $7,000, and was unable to tell the court where she had obtrined the purchase money. She afterward admitted that she had paid nothing for the property. The assistant United States attor- ney will cause an investigation to be made of the matter. When in the Rolice Court she made an affidavit that she was worth 20,000 in real estate. ae x. ‘Thomas was offered as surety and veloped the fact that certain property, to wit, lote 27 and 28. in square 775. had been con- veyed to him without consideration, and that he had no personal interest in the property.
