A REVENUE CUTTER SUNE. DID SHE HAVETHE MORPHINE HABIT? Affidavits Regarding Helen Potts to Help Harris to a New Trial. New Yonx, Feb. 27.—Recorder Smythe this morning heard the argument of counsel for Carlyle W. Harris for a new trial. The appli- plication was made on the ground of newly- discovered evidence. Harris, as it is well known, was convicted for the murder of his wife, Helon Neilson Potts Harris, by sending to her pills containing mor- phine and telling her to take them. Mrs. Francis McCready Harris, his mother, | Was in the court room armed with a batch of | aflldavits which allege that her son's wife was addicted to the morphine habit.

PENSION APPROPRIATIONS. | | The Bill Considered in the Senate | This Afternoon. SENAT! The credentials of James Smith, Jr., as Sene- | | tor from the state of New Jersey in place of | Senator Blodgett were presented, read and placed on file. ‘The agricultural appropriation bill was re- ported and placed on the calendar. A resolution was offered by Mr.Quay(Pa,)eall- ing on the Secretary of War for copies of all papers and documents relating to pro} for the improvement of Philadelphia harbor, and directing him to suspend action thereon ‘until they have been received and considered by the | Senate. Mr. Call (Fla.) introduced joint resolution to suspend approval of lists of swamp and over- | flowed public lands in Florida until further | action of Congress and asked for its passage. | After considerable discussion Mr. Stewart | (Nev.) insisted that the pension appropriation bill had the right of way and that the joint reso- lution should be referred. Against that action Mr. Call protested earnestly, charging that the approval of lists of those lands in Florida was fraudulent and was the result of corrupt methods. The reference of the joint resolution would, he said, kill it. and continue the fraud complained of. | Objection to the resolution wa: 1n the interest of land speculators and conspira~ tors.

The people of that state, he said, would have to bear the ills of life ax best they could. He thonght they | would survive without the presence of any | | Senator who defended fraudulent conspirators | and unscrupulous speculators. The joint resolution went over without ac- ion. THE PENSION APPROPRIATION BILL, ‘The pension appropriation bill was then taken | up, and Mr.Gorman (Md.) call attention to | the fact that a bill appropriating over $166,- 600,000 was being run_ through the Senate with very few Senators giving any notice to it. Acting on that hint a call of the Senate was erd (at the suggestion of Mr. Chandler), and sixty-seven Senators responded: . Gorman resumed the floor. He read from the report of the commissioner of pen- |eions, showing that on the Ietof June last there. were 876,000 pensioners borne on. the | rolls. It was perfectly safe to say, and the [country ought to know the fact,’ that the estimates of the commissioner were a mere guess as to the number of pensioners that | would be added to the list this year, and it was beyond question that there would be at the end of the fiseal year on the 30th of June nexta deficiency of from 25,000,000 to $20,000,000, | ‘The es‘imate of the commissioner was that, [an case the adjustment of pensions went on | as rapidly as it had been going, the pension appropriation for next year would be from $158,000,000 to #199,000,000; and that be- fore June ‘30, 1894, there would be 1,200,000 pensioners borne on the rolls. Aw to the reduction of pension ditures by a change of law that (Mr. man said) was a great question which he not care tu enter into nor hereafter. provision for the employment of skilled | actuaries in the pension office. Mr. McPherson (N. J.) asked what better time there was than the present to start in that matter. ‘Mr. Gorman eaid he could not fail to take notice of the fact that there bad been an overwhelming vote in the House | against auy change in the pension laws, ‘The fact’ was (as bad been stated last week by the Senator from Illinois, Mr. Palmer) that there had been a rivalry between did It might come He suggested that there should be the two great political parties to see |how far they could go in the mat- ter of pension legislation. All_that | he (Mr. Gorman) desired to do was to call the attention of the Senate and the people to the fact that, with the present condition of the — pensi laws, — Congress would be __ powerle at’ the next session (as it was at this) to reduce pension appropria- tions to any extent, until the question was taken up by the pension committees and until legislation was had for reduction of pensions. Mr. Cuilom (Ill), In your own judgment is it not better that the general subject should be taken up by the pension committees, and that they should report such legislation as they deem rather than have any change of law put on the appropriation bill? Mr. Gorman—I am decidedly of that opinion. After some further discussion the bill was passed without amendment. ‘The conference report on the Military Acad- emy bill was presented and agreed to. House bill to grant to the Gainesville, Mc- Allister and St. Louis Railroad Company a right of way through the Indian territory was taken from the calendar and . 4 conference was ordered on the sundry civil appropriation bill, and Messrs. Allison, Hale and Gorman were appointed conferees on the Part of the Senate. The Senate resumed consideration of House bill regulating the sale of intoxicating liquors in the District of Columbia. HOUSE, A demand for the “‘regular order,” made by Mr. Simpson (Kan.), blasted the hopes of a number of gentlemen who had congregated in the area infront of the Speaker's desk, each ‘waving a bill, which he desired to have passed during the closing hours of Congress. Mr. Peel (Ark.) moved to suspend the rales and pase the Iudian appropriation bill. Al- though more than two-thirds of the bill had already been considered and agreed to in com- mittee of the whole, and although Mr. Peel re- nested that the ‘reading of that portion be iispensed with, Mr. Kilgore (‘Tex.) objected, and the clerk proceeded to read the bill in ex tenso.

The tleman had stated that he (Hatch) had ad- mitted that not dollar of revenue would be raised. He had never made such an ndmis- sion, directly or indirectly. Nothing he bad ever said would justify such a statement. The gentleman made one correct state-_ ment. The gentleman had said tha: this bill would limit sales, Ys, it would; not sales wheat, but sales of wind. It would limit the sales of dealers “ago, who, for every bushel of wheat raised ina year, sold one thousand bushels of wind in amonth. 'Con- gress was met with the statement that the great trouble with farmers was overproduction, There was overproduction of nearly every- thing produced by the farmers, but it was m overproduction by dealers in the cities and not by the farmers. He denied that there was any combination of millers in favor of the bill. For overa month he had requested the committee on rules to give a day for the con- sideration of the bill. If that committee did not give the time this Co would go out with a worse record toward the farmer” than any Congress for twenty years. Mr. Boatner (La.) said that the bill had noth- ing but wind in it, and Mr. Taylor suggested that the gentleman furnished to the country more than his full share of wind. The Indian bill was then passed. THE SUNDRY CIVIL BILL. Mr, Holman (Ind.) moved to suspend the rnlesand non-concur in the Senate amend- ments to the sundry civil appropciation bill, ¢ be generall, including the Sherman bond amendment, VOTED TO NON-coNCUR. Mr. Holman moved a suspension of the rules and a non-concurrence in all the Senate amend- ments to the sundry civil appropriation bill. This motion gave rise toa brief discussion of the Sherman bond amendment. The House agreed to non-concur in Senate amendments to the sundry civil appropriation Dill and it was rent to conference. Messrs. Holman, Sayers and Cogswell have been appointed conferees. THE CAR COUPLER BILL. ‘Mr. Wise moved to suspend the rules and concur in Senate amendment to the car coupler bill, DISTRICT ONGRESS. The Liquor License Bill Discussed in the Senate This Afternoon, At 1:30 today after the passage of the pensions appropriation bill Mr. Hansbrough obtained his first opportunity to ask the Senate to further consider the uor license bill and the ~— measure was again brought up. He yielded, however, to several Senators who had bills they desired acted on, so that it was 2 o'clock before the liquor bill was actually considered, Mr. Gallinger stated that the measure was a important one and, as he believed « ‘um was not present, asked for a call of the Senate. The call disclosed the presence of a quorum. ¥ THE WALF-MILE Limit... Mr. Hansbrough then offered an amend- ment, the object of which was to make the bill effective within the half-mile limit of Soldiers’ Home, a question having arisen as to whether the Dill would be effective within that limit. The amendment was adopted. Mr. Hansbrough attempted to bave by unani- mous consent a vote taken on the bill at 3 o'clock, but Mr. Gallinger interposed his ob- | jection. Mr. Peffer offered an amendment, the effect of which was to exclude from use in bar room all tabies, chairs and other fixtures, pic- tures, and provided further that any one found guilty of selling liquor to an inmate of the sol- ciers home thould have his license revoked and be subject to an additional tine. Mr. Hansbrough moved to Iny the amend- ment on the table, but at the request of Sena- tor Pleffer withdrew the motion. Mr. Harris, however, said that with but five dave re- maining’ in this session no delay should be made, and renewed the motion to lay the amendment on the table. Mr. Gallinger demanded a roll call, the result of which was 99 aves and 15 nays, thus laying Mr. Peffer's motion on the table. Mr. Gallinger of- fered an amendment to increase the number of guest rooms in u hotel,so that it may come un- under the hotel clause from 20 to 50. The mo- tion was lost. Mr. Hoar then offered as an amendment. the latter part of Mr. Peffer’s amendment which prohibits the sale of liquor to inmates of the Soldiers’ Home and revokes the licenses of one found guilty of such sale. The amendment was adopted. the request of Mr. Vest, however, the mo- | tion by which the amendment was adopted was | reconsidered and along discussion followed | upon it.

CLEVELAND'S COMING, The Presidential Party Will Arrive Here Thursday. } | THEY WILL OCCUPY THE WHITE BOUSE arreR THE INAUGURATION—-FRIENDS WHO WILT ACCOMPANY THEM—SOME INTERESTING PER- SONAL NOTES CONCERNING THE NEW ADMIN- ISTRATION. President-elect and Mrs. Cleveland having disposed of a great many serious questions re- garding their Washington life are just now de- bating something which pertains not only to their individual comfort, but also to that of the thousands of visitors who will be in this city on next Saturday morn- ing. This topic of all-absorbing interest is nothing more or less than the weather. Cleve- Iand weather and Cleveland sunshine are) synonymous terms in this city. Eight on inauguration day, it) ld and pleasant that while there were no cases of sunstroke there were many of sunburn. After a winter of unusual | severity for this city if Mr. Cleveland's coming back will restore the old-fashioned evenness of | temperature and make a run of sunshine |for two or three days there is! simply no limit to what his admirers will find to say about him. and continuous Mrs, Cleveland can bring’aboat thieresult it can talked abs certainty. The Clevelands have no house to close |"p in New York. They got rid of all that part of the breaking up when ther | Nent down to Lakewood in the early winter. They have stored away for future use all their household belongings, but there is no doubt but that some portions of these things, associated by service in their first private home. will ultimately find their way to the White House. ‘The Clevelands es nothing down | to Lakewood but their clothes. . MRS. CLEVELAND'S GOWNS. | ‘The indy readers of Tux Stan will be inter- ested to know that when clothes are mentioned in connection with Mrs. Cleveland it means « great many and very elegant gowns. She has {not been going backwards and forwards ail | Winter from Lakewood to New York for nothing, and added to all her undeniablecharms of mind and person there is not a doubt in the world but that the most eritical of critics in | the dress line will be pleased with her sclec- tions, Only a very few friends are in the secret of the gown which ehe is to wear to the inauguration bail. Those closest to her, even if they had any personal coriosity ou the sub- ject, carefully conceal it, and really have not asked, because if they knew the temptation to tell would be entirely too great to be overcome. TO COME TO WASHINGTON THURSDAY. The President-elect, his family and servants Will take the train for Washington, from Lake- | wood, on Thursday morning. Aboard of it | Will be Mr. and Mrs. Daniet S. Lamont and their two eldest daughters, Miss Suuuders and a large | contingent of other New York friends, includ- jing Mr. and Mrs, Benedict, &c. This party | will be at the Arlington, After the mauguration the Clevel straight to the White Honse, which, in all human probability, all reports to the contrary notwithstanding, will be their home while in Washington for the next four vears. It would not be strictly true to aay that Mr. and Mrs. Cleveland have not thought of taking any other house as a residence in thi city. Thev did not expect to go to anywhere but the White House, but nearly every empty house and several that are not empty yet have been offered, and consequently it has set them thinking of them. Nothing more tangible than | that can really be said to be true. MISS ROSE ELIZABETH CLEVELAND. One interested xpectator of Mr. Cleveland's first inauguration will be present this time only | irit. This distinguished person is Misa Elizabeth Cleveland. There has been very little said of Miss Cleveland since she left the White House and scarcely any thing at all for the past four years. These years have been very happy and usefal ones with the past mistress of the Executive | Mansion. Iwo of them she divided up between | the north and the south. giving the winters to Florida—in her own cozy bome. Here she met | with friends who were greatly actracted toward her and she toward them. They are people of | means and she has been traveling in Europe with them the past two years, Last summer while Col. and Mra. Lamont were driving in Switzerland they sawa indy | walking alonea little in advance of them. To their great astonishment it turned out to be Miss Cleveland and the meeting was a happy surprise on both siden. Singularly enongh they met her again in Dresden, when neither had the least thought of each other. Miss Cleveland's delight at her brother's success cannot be measured in mere words, She will be here before the summer comes and will be seen again at the White House, ds will go ‘MRS. CLEVELAND'S MOTHER. ‘Mrs. Cleveland's mother, Mrs. Perrine of Buffalo, will be here for the inauguration, Like her daughter, it is the first Cleveland in- auguration she has seen. Mr. and Mrs. Perrine re coming on with Mr. and Mrs, Bisell’s | party from Buffalo. They will arrive here on | riday. Most of the party will be at the | Arlington, but Mr. and Mrs. Perrine will be the | guests of Mr. and Mrs. A. A. Wilson, In the | Bissell party will be aleo Mr. and Mrs. Arthur | Bissell, Mr. and Mrs, Herbert Biwell, Mr. and | Mrs. Milburn. Mr. and Mrs. Chas, Goodyear, Miss Love and Mr. Tom Love. THE CABINET HOUSES. Another thing that can be said with absolute truth is that none of the new cabinet officers | have as yet selected a house here. They are | simply embarrassed with the difficulties of sclec- | tion. No one can blame them if they come to this city with the idea that every house in it, except, pethaps, the White House and « few foreign gations, can be either bought outright or rented. The houses that have been offered for future cabinet homes are located all over the west end as well as over a wide area inthe suburban districts. The real estate agents are not doing it all by any means. If anything, the best offers are made personally by owners. ‘The best and the worst of the new and the old houses are in the list. At the head of 14th street Belmont and the Blaine house are specimens of the finest properties offered. ‘MRS. CLEVELAND'S MYTHICAL SECRETARY. There has been @ nice little story going from Washington off and on lately about the appoint- ment by Mra. Cleveland of a private secretary. This has endowed the lady selected to fill this with every qualification, iy of a linguistic order. Mrs. Cleveland does not know this ideal person and has not selected her or any one else, and according to poe idea of the necessity for such service ‘not expect to have any assistance in tnese matters which her husband's secretaries, Mr. Thurber and Mr. O'Brien, cannot give her.

FAIRCHY His Relations With the President-Elect Said Not to Re as Cordial as They Were. The story comes from New York today that ex-Secretary Fairchild has canceled bis en- fagement for a suite of apartments at # local hotel and that he has given up all idea of coming on for the imauguration. The reason given for thie action on bis part is that the relations existing between himeelf and the President-elect are by no means as cordial as they have been in times past, and that in fact he feels as though he had a decided grievance xgainat Mr. Cleveland. It is said that some time ago in company with a number of other “anti- snappers” Mr. Fairchild called upon Mr. Cleve- land at the Mills building, and that the conver- sation turned upon the bject of the office of collector of the his friends by been urging airchild to accept Mr. Mr. Cleveland made A few very earnest re- marks abont office seekers in general and the matter of personal sacrifices in particular. This Mr. Fairchild ix said to have constrand asa thrust at himself, for he had been given to understand by" hie friends that his ptance of the collectorship of the port id relieve Mr, Cleveland of considerable unt of embarrassment. For thie reason it is «nid, Mr. Fairchild is not coming on for the <u EKKS WHO SOLD THEIR SEATS. An Investigation at the District Balldings on Account of the Inaugural Stand. Some of the clerks in the District build- ing are, figurati speaking, shivering in their for unless they can factorily explain why and at what price they disposed of the large number of tickets for the District reviewing stand at an advanced price they wall be summarily dismissed. Some time ago the chairman of the commit- tee on parks and «paces of the inaugural com- mittee applied to the Commissioners for per- iesion to erect a stand on perty imme- diately in front of the Center market between Louisiana avenue and 7th «treet. It was claimed that the executive committee had authority to Jeaxe this space in view of the resolution of Congress. ‘The Commissioners, however, informed them that the «pace in ques on owas under the control of — the Commissioners and not included in the ree- lution referred. to; that the «pace was to be used, as heretofore, for the erection of @ stand for the use of the Distrist employes d their families who could not pay price asked for seats on other a=. The chitect of the district accordingly wun pla ted proposals and awarded e contract toa prominent buil jortly thereafter the plat was opened and employes hurried to get the choicest seats. The Com- missioners fearing speculation on the part of some of the clerks issued an order that there was to be no speculation in the tickets. twithstanding this, however, the clerks grabbed up the choicest seats in blocks of tens and hundreds and are holding them, in some instances. ata large advance. The « inal price of those sents was put a bi each for the first twelve rows and 75 cents for the remaining. There bas been, it is said, con- siderable speculation and there are a number of instances where as high as €5 hes been paid fora single ticket. This matter re- cently came to the attention of the Commis- sioners and 1 is understood that they have bee conducting a secret investigation and will shortly bring the clerks before them and ask for an explanation. BILLS, The House Managers Now Confident of Get- ting Them All Through, Though the appropriation bills and other legislation is dreadfully blocked in both the House and the Senate, the managers are coufi- dent that they will be abie to get the appropria- tions bills through. The greatest danger has along arisen from the presence of the bond amendment to the sundry civil bill. It is said that the danger har been relieved by an assurance that the advocates of the amendment will not inmst upon it. Of course this amend- ment could be of no avail to this administration and Mr. Cleveland and Mr. Carlisle are the ones interested im it. Mr. Carlisle was informed. as were all the advocates of the amendment, that if it were insisted upon it would result cer- tainly in the defeat of the appropriation bill. Mr. Carlisle conferred with Mr. Cleve- land on the subject and word was sent about through the House this morning that oth these gentlemen were indifferent about the matter and would not bave the bill en- dangered in an attempt to save the amend- ment. Its generally conceded that an attempt to save the amendment would result in the defeat of the bill and inan extra session, and there is too much besides in the way to admit of any loss of time in sucha squabble. The silver men with the understanding that the bond amendment is to be stricken out in con- ference are now willing that there should bee general non-concurrence in tue amendments THE APPROPRIAT! in of the managers is to get all the rest of the ‘that must be done in the House through under suspension of the rules in order during the last six da: the provinces of British North America and the republic of Mexieo, and carries out the sug- gestions proposed by the President in bis mes- sage to remedy the present inequalities.
