Auzaxr, N.Y.,May 18—Gov. Flower this morning gave a hearing in the case of Henry C. Fanning, convicted of murder and sentenced to be executed at Sing Sing Mon- day next. The array of people pres- ent was quite imposing, many women among those who seats. Fan- ning’s mother, father and wife were present and & pretty little child of the prisoner sat on its Grandfather's lap. Among the others present were a number of ministers, Deputy District Attorney Welch said the trial had been unfair. Affidavits of several criminal lawyers were prevented to show that the man who defended ‘anning was incompetent. A petition was pre- vented from the members and officersof the ninth regiment and one from many citizens of Utica, ing for the reprieve. The governor said he would not settle the matter until tomorrow, but it is believed that his decision will be favorable to the convicted man. ‘The prime mover in the attempt to eave the life of Fanning is Mrs. Harriet G. Rae of Utica, to whose school both Fanning and Law- yer Schmann once went, though at different times. She bas, unaided, raised the. money necessary to pay the expense. The law- yers are working without compensation. ey are in daily consultation with Fanning’s father, who was’ once a prosperour merchant, but is now in very greatly reduced circumstances, Fanning’s alleged victim was bis mistress.

HyatTsviLie, Mp., May 13.—George McFar- land, a printer formerly employed in the gov- ernment printing office, went to the home of his father-in-law, A. R. Fowler of this place, while drunk last night and assaulted his wife, who had gone there to live. Her father and McFarland's brother Archie put George out of the house with considerable violence. News of the affair epread through the village and considerable excitement was created. This was increased when McFar- land resisted the efforts of Deputy Sheriff Dar- uall to arrest him. Five hundred residents of the two villages gathered about Justice Hurley's office in densburg, where McFarland was committed to the county jail. The prisoner didn't teem to care, and while handenffed danced a jig to the ‘music of Capt. Hazen's le. Some time ago McFarland’s wife's father caused a separation between bis daughter and her husband and had his daughter return home. After that McFarland saw his wife at inter- vals, but there was no trouble between them ‘until last nighs McFarland was drinking in Bladensburg yes- terday afternoon. Soon afterward he procured a shotgun, and returning to Main street in Bladensburg he gave the natives to understand that he owned the town, and in substantiation of his remarks discharged the weapon. When he went to his wife’s home in Hyatts- ville and assaulted her he was armed with a hickory club. When Mr. Fowler went to his danghter’s assistance the infuriated printer at- tempted to use the club on him. Mr. Fowler and his daughter left the house and sought protection in the grocery store of Mr. George Tise. Meanwhile McFarland re- gained possession of the shotgun and went to the store, where he used abusive and threaten- ing. language, but no further violence was com- mit: oe from Kansas are meager, but the xig- nal service officers say that the present rain is falling in Kancas as well as western Missouri. ‘Additional news of damage by the flood con- tinues to come in.

(ON OFFICE INQUIRY. Testimony Given Before the House Special Committee Today. ‘The first witness called before the Raum in- vestigating committee this morning was Mr. W, H. Scudder, a principal examiner of the pension office. His psrticular duty was to Pass upon upplications to make claims spe- cial. With probably two or three ex- ceptions, a satisfactory showing had always been required as to the claimant's extreme pov- erty and dependence, illness of a grave char- acter, or other exceptional conditions which took it out of the ordinary class. In these two of three cases Gen. Raum bad simply made a notation on the case instructing the witness to make it special. It had been deemed sufficient if a member of Congress said that he knew of his own knowledge that the claimant's case was an exceptionally urgent one. Mr. RK. A. Durnan, chief of the western di- vision, was recalled, and said that so far as he knew ‘no record was kept of the absences of chiefs of divisions, except when they were ab- sent u whole day or more. Dr. Ingram took the stand and stated in refer- ence to the W. W. Dudley case that he had learned since yesterday that a few days before the Dudley claim was allowed Commissioner ‘Tanner had made a ruling to the effect than an amputation near the knee joint should be regarded ae “at the knee” within the meaning of the act. No other action could have been taken in the Dudley case than was taken, in view of this ruling, provided the medical evidence as to the exact location of the amputation had been fur- nished. It was inno sense a rerating, but an increase under the law. Mr. W. B. Shaw, the chief of the finance divi- sion, was called and said that after the act of August 4 1886, had been sed Commistioner Black, who was desirous Rat the beneficiaries under the act should be paid with as little delay aa possible, had directed that these cases be sent to the finance division and the necessary action taken upon the evidence already on file. This could be done, asa very large number of the claimants under this act were already on the rolls, When the examiner reached the Dudley claim he expressed to his chief the opinion that it did uot come within the scope of act and Leena to approve — a le thereupon sent the in the case to Commminioner Tanner's deck with his objec- tions to allowing it. The record was subse- quently returned to the division bearing amem- orandum from the commissioner directing that the claim be allowed. At noon the committee adjourned until to- morrow. _—- + e+ FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL, The foll 0 and closing prices of tne New York Stock Malhet te repsred By? upecial wire to Carson & Macartney. 1410 Fatrect. —-—__— ‘Washington Stock Exchange.

THE SENATE. ‘The river and harbor bill was reported back from the committee on commerce with amend- ments and with a report (as required by resolu- tion of the Senate on each item n the bill. Mr. Frye, the chairman of that committee, stated that the bill was one for two years, and that no river and harbor bill would be reported from that committee next session. He gave notice that on Tuesday next he would ask the Senate to proceed to its consideration. CIVIL SERVICE REFORM BILLS. Mr. Wolcott, from the committee on civil service reform, reported the following bills, and they were placed on the calendar: se Fet the better protection of the public sery- Toinsure preference in appointment, employ- ment and retention in. the” public. worries of United States veterans of the late war. To provide for leave of absence to certain members of theG. A.R. during the encamp- ment in the Distriet of Columbia in September, 1 A bill for the sale of the unsold portion of the Umatilla reservation was also reported placed on the calendar. ~ ‘The bill reported back adversely yesterday, “to promote and encourage the display of the flug of the United States,” was, on motion of Mr. Sherman, referred to the committee on ir. Quay introduced a bill riatit {$1,000,000 for the purchase of a site andthe erection of a mint in Philadelphia, and it “was referred to the committee on public bui and grounds, THE NAVAL APPROPRIATION BILL. ‘The consideration of the naval bill was re- sumed and several minor amendments were agreed to. Pro by Mr. Hale and . ar. McPherson (from the naval committee) offered an amendment—originally offered by Mr. Gibson (La.)—appropriating £250,000 toward the construction of a dry dock at Al- giers, La., in accordance with the recommenda- tion of the two commissions and for the pur- chase of land necessary for the purpose in ad- dition to the present government reservation, and authorizing the Secretary of the Navy to make a contract for the construction of the dry dock not to exceed $840,000. - After remarks by Messrs. McPherson, Hale and Mitchell, Mr. Cockrell inquired where the money was to comefrom. The Senate (he said) might ag well face the snbject honextly and frankly. If the increases of appropriation pro- vided for in the bill were sustained there would not be money enough in the treasury to meet the requisitions upon it, and increased revenue would have to be provided. Mr. Sherman reinforced Mr. Cockrell’s sug- gestion. No more money, he said, should be appropriated than was estimated for and re- commended by the committee on uppropria- tions, should not make uppro- priations exceeding the amount of | rev- enue, in fact, shonld not make ap- Propriations within ten or twelve millions of the amount of revenue, because it was a good deal better to have a surplus than a deficit. Therefore he felt disposed to stand by the com- mittee on appropriations in resisting new ap- propriations not expressly provided for by law or treaty. The question was taken on Mr. McPherson's amendment and it was rejected. MR. CHANDLER WANTS A DRY DOCK. ‘Mr. Chandler offered an amendment appro- priating €100,000 for a dock at Portmouth, N. HL, navy yard under a limit of @500,000 as the total cost and spoke in explanation and advocacy of Mr. Gorman spoke against the amendment, taking the same grounds as Mr. Cockrell and Mr. ‘Seema b had taken. After a discussion, participated in by Messrs. Chandler, McPher- ton, Hale and Hawley, the amendment was rejected. n the regular consideration of the bill was resumed at the point where the “increase of the navy” is provided for. INCREASE OF THE NAVY. ‘The bill as it came from the House provides for one armored cruiser of about 800 tons dis- placement, to cost (exclusive of armament) not ‘more than $3,500,000. ‘The amendment as reported from the Senate committee on appropriations provides (in addi- tion) for one ing coast line battle ship of about 9,000 tons and to cost not ex 4,000,000; one harbor defense double tur- ret ship of the monitor type, of about 7,600 tons and to cost not ex 3,000,000; four light-draft gun boats of from 800 to 1,200 ton: itand to cost not exceeding $450, each six tor boats at a cost not exceeding $110,000 eac! Mr. MePherson, from the naval committee, offered an amendment to the Senate amend- ment providing for three harbor defense double turret ships of the monitor of one ship, and spoke in support of that amendment. THE HOUSE. Congratulations were extended to Mr. Enloe (Tenn.) this morning, the occasion being the receipt by him of a magnificent basket of flowers, the gift of the workingmen of the Dis- ja | trict of Columbia. Steadfast in his purpose, Mr. Watson (Ga.) demanded the “regular order,” and the com- mittees were called for reports, but no response ‘was made. ‘THE SIBLEY CLAIM BILL. Again the Sibley claim bill came to the fore ona report from the committee of the whole referring the claim to the Court of Claims for final adjudication. To this substitute there was a pending amendment that the refer- ence should be merely for inquiry and report to ‘The amendment was lost—yeas, 80; nays, 194. ‘The substitute having been agreed to—yeas, 156; nays, 41—the vote recurred on the of the bill as amended, pending which’ Mr. 9.

RAILWAY TRANSPORTATION THE SURECT CHIEFLY DISCUSSED—THE GREAT YALLS ROAD AGREED TO, AS IS ALSO THE WASHINGTON, ALEXANDRIA AND FAIRFAX ROUTES—THE LIQvom LICENSE BILL. All District committee records were broken at today’s meeting of the board of sena- torial eldermen. Other days have been denominated “busy days,” but the legis lators accomplished more this morning than it ever has on any previous occasion in the same time. The members chairman) and Senators Higgins, Wolcott nsbrough, Perkins, Fanlkner, Berbour and Gibson of Maryland. 'SeuntorGallinger is omt in Colorado, Senator Harris is in Tennessee, Sena- tor Vance is sick. First to receive consideration was Senator Higgins’ bill for the relief of Daniel Donovan. The subcommittee said it was all right, s0 @ fa- vorable report was ordered. WASHINGTON AND GREAT FALLS RAILWAY, Then came the bill to incorporate the Wash- ington and Great Falls Railway Company. This measure had received the close Tsonal attention of Senators Me- lan and Harris and had been care- fully and materially amezded. Chairman Me- Millan’s suggestion of an elevated stractnre om which the tracks could be laid into George- town wax incorporated in the measure and the public interests have been thoroughly guarded. The road” after it lecves the elevated structure proceeds for about mile over the reservoir reservation—under direction of the Secretary of War. The tracks crows the Conduit road three times, but this all the trespass committed on that beautiful drive- way. It is provided that the inner rail be not less than fifty feet from the center of the road, #0 that puts the company entirely upon land which it will have to acquire. The company is also required to light the road, Favorable report was ordered. TRANSPORTATION TO ARLINGTON, If the Senate and House indorse the action of the Senate committee transportation to Aling- ton and return will not be somuch of a problem as it heretofore has been, for this morning the committee ordered favorable report on dhe bill to incorporate the Warhington, Fairfax and Alexandria Railway Company. An important amendment added today gives the measure immediate local interest, for the new provision requires the company to have ite road completed to Arlington amd in gperntion by September, 19 of thie year, e route as laid down in the” re- ported bill commences at 17th and H streets and continues down 17th to New York avenue, thence on New York avenue to C street (at 234 «trect) and along C street (to be opened through the observatory grounds the company) to the river. A substantia built double-end steam ferry boat ix to receive the car or cars and convey it or them to Analostan Island. From the island to the main- land the tracks will run overan iron bridge, the Intter so constructed as not to interfere with the river flow. Through the Fort Myer reservation the company is required to construct and maintain a forty-foot road- way and a sidewalk, The . roper cats will pass immediately in front of the north- east entrance to Arlington cemetery, and will continue on to Alexandria over the River road. Georgetown people offered some objections to the possible obstructions from ferry slips, and these have been attended to. If necessary the +lip foundations will be dredged out of’ the river banks #o that the width of the channel will not be decreased. THE WASHINGTON AND ARLINGTON COMPANY. Two representatives of the Washington and Arlington Company (now the subject of sena- torial investigation) were at the Capitol yester- day, busily engaged in an effort to kill this Wi and Alexandria bill. They cluimed that their charter rights would be rendered tically valueless if this bill became law, but y received no encouragement from members of the District committee. THE TROLLEY SYSTEM. Then the committee gave the trolley system the blackest kind of a black eye. On motion of Senator Wolcott the committee took up for consideration the House resolution extend- ing the time for the change of motive power by the Metropolitan Railway Company, and authorizing that corporation to equip and operate its rond with overhead wires, Senator Wolcott said he thought the time had come for the committee to show the public that no troliey «ystem should be established in Washington. There was no de- bate on the proposition because there was no one to say a Word in behalf of the deadly and unsightly wires; everybody had something condemnatory to say of the attempt to force upon the city ‘the most dangerous of all motors. A vote was taken on that por- tion of the resolution and there was absolute unanimity—the same oneness of sentiment which was indicated in the series of interviews published in Tux Stax on the day following the singular and unexpected action of the House, The Senate committee is therefore on record t: the effect that under no consideration will it permit’ the operation of the trolley system in the national capital. As to the remainder of the resolution, provid- ing for the extension of time, the committee requestéd the chairman, with a subcommittee, to see what the company had been doing und to report at the next meeting. NO ALL-NIGHT STREET CARS. All-night street cars was the next topic dis- cussed and the debate ended in the report of the subcommitiee being upset. The sub- committee, consisting of Senators Huns brough and McMillan, met yesterday af- ternoon and came to conclusion that an all-night service was really necessary. The therefore, framed a report and recommended that the Washington and Georgetown Company operate its cars from Georgetown to the Navy ‘ard at half-hour intervals between the clos- ing and the opening of the regular schedule. ‘The same company was also to run one car be- tween 15th street and New York avenue and vals Se it —S = enlarging the regular sc! #0 that th a meastre hall of resent were Senator McMillan | CAPITOL TOPICS.

As was stated in Tur Star some time agoit ds an increase of €50.000 over the amount allowed. by the House, and there is no saving clause | which prevents the expenditure of any of the money upon the Potomac flats until the title of the goverament has been established.

The Senate committee on civil service and retrenchment today ordered a favorable report on Senator Gallinger’s bill requiring the heads of the executive departments to dismiss from the public service all persons who are not elt zens of the United States by nativity or com- plete naturalization and prohibiting the ap- pointment of such persons in the future.
