Mr, Wolcott Moves to Take Up the Apportionment Bill, CARRIED BY A VOTE OF 35 10 34, Cheering in the House When the News Was Known. NO NEED OF A ROLL CALL. SENATE. The Senate met at noon in continuation of the legislative day of Thursday last, the pend- ing question being the resolution to amend the rules by providing a method of closing debate. Mr. Morgan resumed the floor and continued his argument, begun on Saturday, in opposition to the proposed rule and to the elections bill, both of which measures he claimed (on the au- thority of the New York Times) to be for the advancement of Mr. Harrison's project for re- election. At. 1:20 Mr. Wolcott asked Mr. Morgan to yield the floor to him so that he might move to take up the apportionment bil. Mr. Morgan raid that he would doso, although he was at a very interesting point in his speech, which he trusted he would never have the op- portunity to resume. MB. WOLCOTT MOVES TO TAKE UP THE APPOR- TIONMENT BILL. Mr. Wolcott then made that motion and Mr. Dolph moved to lay it on the table. A point of order against the latter motion | was made on the democratic side, but the ding officer (Mr. Platt) overruled it and held that the motion was in order. ‘The vote was proceeded with amid grest ex- citement, and there was much confusion and some ill feeling in relution to pairs. SENATOR CAMENON VOTES WITH THE DEMOCRATS. Mr. Dolph’s motion was rejected amid much applause—yeas, 34; nays, 35. Sonators Cam- eron, Jones (Nev.), Stewart, Teller, Washburn and Walcott voted no with the democrats, and Mr. Ingalls was paired with Mr. Sanders. The vote was then taken on Mr. Walcot motion to take up the apportionment bill, and it =) 34. HOUSE. The usual skirmish took place as to the read- ing and approval of the journal. Mr. McKinley (Ohio) demanded the previons question on the approval, and, in order to ob- Vinte this occasion for forty minutes’ debate after the demand was ordered, said a few words in support of the journal. ‘The previous question being ordered, Mr. Blount (Ga.) made the point of order that d bate was in order. The so-called debate of the gentleman from Ohio was no debate. It would be tritling in the school room; it was an insult and an outrage in the House of Kepresentatives. {Democratic applause. | ‘The Speaker} overruled the point of order and refused to tecognize Mr. Blount's appeal. Mr. Springer (Ill.) suggested that the Speaker ‘was not expediting business by the course he Was pursuing. The Speaker was the obstruc- tionist of business. ‘The journal was approved—yeas 141, nays THE NAVAL APPROPRIATION BILL. Mr. Boutelie (Me.) moved that the House go into committee of the whole on the naval ap- propriation Dill. The yeas and nays were or- dered and the clerk had called but « few names When Messrs. Mansur and Heard (Mo.), return- ing from the Senate side, spoke a few words to their democratic colleagues, whereupon Mr. Rogers (Ark.) rose and, interrupting the call, informed the House that the force bill had been defeated. CHEERS FROM THE DEMOCRATS. ‘The democratic side gave cheer after cheer, the Speaker's gavel being ineffectual for some moments to check the democratic enthuriasm. Another Bull Run! ejacuiated Mr. Brewer of Michigan. Mr. Hatch (Mo.) suggested the propriety of dispeasing with the further calling of the roll. There was no longer any necessity for a roll call. THE RAUM INVESTIGATION. Bank Examiner Ferguson Before the Com- mittee, but He Gives Little Information. J.D. Ferguson, national bank examiner, was called to the stand by the Raum investigation committee, but aside from securing informa- tion already made public with regard to the Raum note indorsed by Mr. Lemon and held by the National Bank of the Republic, no facts were elicited. Mr. Cooper wanted to know if the witness had found any of Mr. Raum’s paper in the | Citizens’ National Bank, in which Mr. Lemon is adireetor. After a heated colloquy, in which Mr. Cooper insisted that if permitted he could show that Mr. Lemon was the responsible though not aj parent indorser on Mr. Raum's paper to the amount of $13,000 in the Citizen's Dank, and Commissioner Raum declared that Mr. Cooper wanted to go into all his private affairs, and stated that he was perfetiy willing that the bank oficers should be stimmoned and asked if Mr. Lemon had ever procured the dis- counting of any paper for him in the Citizens’ Bank, the committee decided that the witness should not answer the question. Green B. Raum, jr., then made a statement denying charges made by Mr. Cooper relative to the care of his horses by O'Donnell. THE BERING SKA CASE. It Did Not Come Up in the Supreme Court ‘Today as Expected, ‘The Bering sea case did not come up in the Supreme Court today for the reason that a case under argument on Friday is not yet dis- posed of and the rest of the day was needed to conclude its argument. ‘The Dering sea mat- ter therefore went over until tomorrow. The court was filled with spectators. who were dis- appointed at the failure of the case to come up. ees ace ras FOURTEENTH STKEET EXTENDED, The Contractor to Begin Paving With As- phalt by May 1. In the current appropriation bill there is an item of $12,300 for the improvement by paving with asphalt 14th street extented.

TELEGRAPH WIRES DOWN, ‘The City Almost Completely Cut Off From the North. The storm of Saturday night was harder on the telegraph wires throughout this part of the country than was the great blizzard of 1883. The rain and sleet striking on the wires froze there in such a manner as to offer a fine resistance to the high wind that was blowing. Asa result long stretches of wire were blown down, carrying the telegraph poles along in their downward career. THE CITY SHUT OFF. Today this city is largely shut off from tele- graphic communication, more especially toward the north. At the offices of the Western Union and the Postal Telegraph companies all mes- es for points beyond Philadelphia are taken sul = to indetinit dl it may be sev- eral days yet ore through communication will be established. Both companies have some of their wires up as far ae Piniadelptia, and about noon today a Srak reporter was told at the office of the Postal Telegraph | that they might have one through to New York some time today, as they had had a large rorce of men at work all yesterday and last night. On the Western Union there are several bad | breaks between Wilmington and Philadelphia, | but most of the damage 1s the other side of the latter point, and the uews is frankly given out that it may be several days yet before they are all rigt once more. A ROUNDAROUT WAY. Messages might be sent to New York around by way of Butfalo and Albany and down the Hudson river were it not for the fact that there are not cuough wires left there to attend to their regular business, and it would be qui out of the question to make them do any more. There is Vit one line between here and Cincit nati that is in working order, and almost all the wires along the Tailroads are res along the turnpikes did not badly and they will probly be the first to be gotten back in shape again. North and east of New York the wires were all down | yesterday and it is not thought that they are in thing like shape yet. All the cables that could pomibly be obtained were hurried off in that. direction, and if the sappiy of cable gives ouvit may delay the work of repair in this sec- tion. Wherever a number of wires are strung together on poles anda break of any length cecurs the attempt is not made to connect each broken wire separately at ons but a temporary repair is made by inserting @ piece of cable that contains a number of Wires in it. ‘This is strung along from the Inst good pole before the break to the next good ene on the other side and work can go on temporarily in that way until the poles can be erected again and permanent repairs made. UNDERGROUND AND OVERHRAD. ASran reporter asked Manager Marean of the Western Union Company whether a few more damaging storms like the blizzard and | the one of Saturday night would not induce the | telegraph companies to adopt some method of running their wires that would be a little more permanent and substantial than arene ad system, that seems to get _ under foot | every tame the wind blows hard. ‘Thardly think so,” said Mr. Marean. “Not, at any rate, for long distances. Any under: ground or conduit system would be too expen- ‘kive. Why, it would cost as much to lay junderground cable as it would an Atlantic cable, With a resulting tariff of charges neces- sarily so high that it would puta stop to the gencral use of the telegraph as a means of com- munication.” ON THE RAILROADS. The storm did not affect local travel on the Baltimore and Potomac railroad. The wires this side of Havre-de-Grace were not at all dis- turbed, but beyond that place, as far north as New York, there was considerable trouble and the New York and Philadelphia trains were therefore behind time. The wires north of iphia bad not all been repaired today, trains today were about on time. |, the blizzard did flect the ranning of trains on the Baltimore and Ohio railroad and thus far all have arrived on time. IN MARYLAND. Hagerstown, Md., was visited Saturday night and Sunday morning bya terrible snow and sleet storm which prostrated all wires and has seriously interrupted railway travel on all the lroads centering at that point. The fast | mail over the Western Maryland from Baltimore wae three hours late and reports twenty inches of snow on the Blue | mountains. All wires are down and a large force of men is at work clearing the tracks of | fallen wires and The Norfolk and West- ern, Cumberlar and Baltimore and Ubio made si1 . The storm at Haltinnore yesterday res weer severe and did great damage to ph, telephone and i anise or ‘overhead wires. ‘There were heavy easterly winds along the coast Saturday night and Sunday morning. but the signal service wires are down and it is im- possible to obtain news of any wrecks. oon SENATOR HEAKST’S CONDITION. He te Feeling Somewhat Better Today, Though He May Die at Any Moment. Senator Hearst is understood to be in a eriti- | cal condition and it is thought that his death may occur at any time. A Stak reporter who calied at his residence at a late hour this after noon, however, was told that the Senator had | had a comfortable and restful night last night and was fecling somewhat better today. He was quite conscious and the attendants seemed a little encouraged. ENGLISH SYNDICATES. Hon. Frank Jones Tells About the Sales of His Breweries. ‘The congressional joint committee on immi- gration today gave a hearing to Frank Jones of Portsmouth, N. H., inquiring into a wale re- cently made by him of his brewing establish- ment to English capitalists, and incidentally investigating the effect on immigration which is likely to follow the purchase of American in- dustries by foreign capitalists. Mr. Jones stated that he had sold his lrew- eries at Portsmouth and Boston for $6,300,000, which amount included between two and three millions of foreign capital. The terms of the agreement, he said, were specified payments of cash and securities, with the understanding that he should conduct the business of the com- y for three years. Of the $6,300,000 paid for the breweries Mr. Jones received in cash about 6 per cent of the amount and the balance in bonds and stock.

A partial list only can be given of the ned dents caused by the storm, At about 9 o'clock this morning seven huge telegraph | poles on Fourth we between I2ist and 125th streets were en off close to the ground, falling with a great crash into the | cutof the New York Central railroad, effest- ually blocking the tracks. Fortunately no train war passing at the time, but the train for Peekskill, which left the Grand Central depot jat Yoclck, had a narrow escape, we it came thundering out of the Jorkvilic tunnel just as the accident cccurred and was rtopped by sige nal at 110th street. Jt was nearly two hours be- fore the wreckage was cleared away and trafic on the road was resumed. Early in the morning an immense tree that | stood in front of No. 20 East Broadway fell |into the street, narrowly escaping a car that was louded with passengers. In it descent it struck the telegraph wires and carried down & | lot of poles. All ‘the telegraph poles on 7th avenue from | 42d street to Syth street went down early in the | day. covering the avenue with wires and the | fragments of the jes. ‘The heavy poles on | Seth street from Sth avenue to lth avenue suffered the same fate. One of the pokes would have crushed the entrance porch of the Roosevelt Hospital but for the sustaining strength of the wires runniag to the neat pole, w inan op- paite direction. The pole wrner of 9th street and 9th avenue fell upon the ele- vated station at that point and partially crushed it, but hurt no one. YOLPS FALL WITH A ct At 7:30 ock in the morning a line of Western Union eighty-foot poles fell with « crash in 59th street, carrying not less than 150 single wires and_ two cables two inches thick, with from forty to. seventy-five wires in them, to the ground. ‘The cros burs scraped the sides of the brow c-stone flats on the south side of the street as they fell and shook the buildings to their very — foundations.

Ibe houses were so blockaded by the wreck that until near midday ingress and egress was imposible. Pohee reports are i in alow, ouly sixteen out of thirty-five precincts having sent re ports to police headqaurters up to 7 p.m. Mayor Grant has ordered the police through- out the city to see to it that the electric eur rents be not turned on the various wires until the head of electric control should certify that the wires are aufe. The dangerous condition because of the wreckage was the cause of the order. In consequence a large portion of the city will be darkness tox fell ght.
