Department Mr. Heard of Missouri Heads the New House Committee, The New Members Appointed—Mr. Johneon Not in the List—Active Workers— ‘Where They Come From. Speaker Crisp today announced the ap- ointment of the committee on the District of Columbia as follows: Chairman, John T. Heard of Missouri; J. D. Richardson of Ten- nessee, H. W. Rusk of Maryland, J. EB. Cobb of Alabama, Joe Abbott of Texas, E. E. Meredith of Virginia, G. W. Cooper of Indiana, C. M. Cooper of Florida, Ccrnelius A. Cadmus of New Jersey, A. C. Harmer of Pennsylvania, Philip 8. Post of Illinois, Wm. Cogswell of Massachusetts, J. J. Belden of New York, S. G. Hilborn of California and 3. _W. Babcock of Wisconsin. Representative Heard, the new chairm: has been in Congress since the beginning of the Forty-ninth Congress, where he has served with distinction. He has long been Chairman Heard. identified with the District committee, and has taken a great deal of interest in Dis- trict affairs. Mr. Heard is well known and popular in the House. He is a lawyer and during his service in the state legislature of Missourl was chairman of the ways and Means committee. In 1881 Mr. Heard achieved prominence by his efforts as one of the attorneys appointed by the fund com- missioners of the state to prosecute and ad- just all claims of the state against the gen- eral government. ‘The New Men. Of the men appointed on the committee all served upon the District committee in the last Congress except Mr. Cooper of Indiana and Mr. Cooper of Florida, Mr. Hilborn and Mr. Babcock. These form the new blood injected into the committee. Mr. Cooper of Indiana goes on in the place of Congressman Tom L. Johnson of Ohio. Mr. Cooper is an avowed opponent of the trolley system for use in cities, while Mr. Johnson has been equally frank in advocat- ing the trolley. Of the new men, Mr. Coo} er of Indiana has served the longest in Congress, having held his seat during the | Fifty-first and Fifty-second Congresses and coming back to the Fifty-third with a handsome majority. He 1s a democrat of the deepest dye, a lawyer, a good talker and in the past has demonstrated that he is a good fighter. He Is interested in the question of municipal improvements. Mr. Cooper of Florida is a new member, although he has held many offices of im: tance and trust in his own state. He a lawyer of high degree, having been appointed attorney general of hig state for term of four years, and having been one of three commissioners to revise the statutes of the state. He has already come into prominence in this Congress, having made a speech on silver inst week which created a most favorable impression and stamped him as a man of ability. Mr. Hilborn of Calffornia had a. short term of service In the last Congress, having been elected as a republican to fill the unex- pired term of Mr. McKenna, who was ap- Pointed United States circuit judge. Mr. ilborn made such a success, however, that his consituents re-elected him to the Fit third Congress. He an eminent lawyer in his own state and was United States district attorney in 1883. He has served in the state senate, and was a member of the constitutional convention tn 1879. During his short residence in Washington, Mr. Hil- born has become greatly attached to th city and has conceived a warm interest the welfare of the District and its progress. It is prophesied by his friends in the House that he will be a most valuable acquisition to the District committee. Mr. Babcock of Wisconsin is a new mem- ber. He is a man of means, having accu- mulated considerable wealth a dealer in lumber. Mr. Babcock is the grandson of Joseph Weeks, who was a member of the twenty-fourth ‘and twenty-fifth Congresses, rept nting the Richmond, New Hamp- shire, district. Mr. Babcock served two terms in the Wisconsin legislature, where he came into prominence as chairman of the committee on appropriations. He ts a republican, a clearheaded business man and §s expected to prove a valuable man on the coramittee. The other members of the committee are well known to the citizens of Washington. both threwgh their services in Congress and thelr work on the District committee in the —— DANGER OVER Of Yellow Fever at the Pensacola Navy Yard. The Secretary of the Navy today re- ceived a telegram from Capt. Reed, com- manding the naval station at Pensacola, Fla., saying: “Cordon removed by orders of marine hospital service. Quarantine rais- ed." The news that there is no longer danger of yellow fever at this naval sta- tion is especially gratifying to the Navy Department. COUNTING BIG MONEY Im Order to Transfer the Charge to the New Treasurer. The count of the moneys and securities in the United States treasury, consequent upon the transfer of the office of treasurer from Mr. Nebeker to Mr. Morgan June 1 last, was completed this afternoon. It was an enormous undertaking, and involved the handling of about $681,900,000 in gold, silver, currency and bonds. The treasurer's ac- counts were verified in every instance, ex- cept in the case of silver, stored in the large new vault, to the amount of over $10,000,000, where there were ten coins missing. These are supposed to have slipped between cracks in the board floor recently put in over the concrete floor to preserve the sil- ver bags from dampness. Many of these bags became mildewed and burst when handled, scattering their contents on the floor. The loss was so trifling that it was not deemed worth while to raise the floor- ing at present. When that ts done the ten stray coins will undoubtedly be recovered. In the meanwhile the official who placed the silver in the bags from which the coins were absent was compelled to make good the deficit and await reimbursement in the event of the subsequent recovery of the silver pieces. Today's work was devoted especially to a count of the gold in the {reasury vaults, amounting to about $il.- 000,000. “The small gold holdings is due to the fact that most of the gold in the treas- ury was recently transferred to the New York subtreasury to meet the severe drain at that port. ——____- e-______ Patent Office Promotions.

NO CHANGE IN HIS VIEWS. ‘The anti-silver men in the Senate are looking forward to the speech to be made by Senator Voorhees tomorrow to greatly strengthen the cause of unconditional re- Peal. Voorhees is a gifted orator, and has a plain way of stating his convictions cal- culated to impress his associates. While the announcement recently of his position in favor of unconditional repeal has been treat- ed by many as an unexpected revelation, there has really been no change in his atti- tude since the crisis came on. He has always been a bimetallist, and still adheres to that doctrine, but months ago, when the dan- gers of the present financial situation of the country became apparent, he publicly an- nounced his conviction, still adhering to bimetallism, that the Sherman law should be repealed promptly, without the incum- brance of other propositions on the repeal measure, and that other financial legisia- tion should stand by itself. His speech tomorrow is expected to be the speech of the session on the side of the question and it will probably attract more attention than any yet made. Other Democratic Senators Influence. It is understood that the attitude taken by Mr. Voorhees has influenced a number of the democratic Senators who, like him- self, have always been bimetallists. The report is out today that three of four of the Senators who have always been silver men have said that they will vote for un- conditional repeal if the proposition is squarely presented to them. Thus, It may be said that the situation from the point of view of the advocates of repeal has im proved in the Senate, yet it may not be said that the chances are favorable to un- conditional repeal. It may be that the silver men will fall of majority in the Senate, yet there still | remains with them, if in the minority, the wer to delay action for a long time, with he prospect always before them of the Pressing necessity for the repeal being re- feved ‘by the operation of time and. the impossibility of the money now hoarded | staying in the toe of the stocking for ever and ever. With the bank bill up for cone sideration, and many amendments to tt to be disposed of, the silver men have a pretty strong breastwork thrown up between them | and the repeal bill. It is ex ‘ted that the) amendment to the bank bill over which there will be the most determined fight will be that providing for the repeal of the state | bank tax, and discussion on it is expected to be of long duratio! Discussing Adjournment. An impression ts growing about the Cap- of Congress may come to an end about the middle of September. This appears’ to be based upon confidence in the possibility of @ compromise being entered into within that period upon the financial question. Nearly all important legislation accom- plished in recent years has been the result of compromise and the outcome of confer- ence committees. ‘Those persons who hold to the opinion that adjournment possible next month say that Mr. Vest's proposition to provide for free coinage of silver at a ratio of 20 to | 1 will be passed by the Senate and ultl- mately will become a part of the bill for unconditional repeal which, it is expected, will be passed by the House. The likell- hood of a veto by President Cleveland of such a@ measure has been discounted by the believers in this reported early adjourn- ment. They argue that it would be impossible to rally a two-thirds vote in either house to pass it over his veto, and that nothing could be accomplished, so far as the finan- cial situation is concerned, by Congress re- maining In session after such a veto was received. ‘The more experienced watchers of politi- cal events place no confidence in these early adjournment theories. sete eae te A BRIEF VISIT. The Maharaja and His Suite Left the City Yesterday. His Highness Jit Jit Jat Singh, raja-I- raja Miam Aziz Bakhsh, revenue minister India, made but a flying visit to Wash- ington. He came here with his suite Sat- urday afternoon, as st&ted in The Star, and while he was here made his home at the Shoreham. Yesterday afternoon he and his suite left for New York, where they will stay a few days before continuing their journey toward the land of Rudyard Kip- ling. ‘There were in the party beside the maha- raja Mjam Aziz Bakhsh, revenue minister of Kapurthala, and Capt. Sundar Singh. They were in charge of Col. C. F. Massey of the English y. The party had come from the world’s fair and were enthusiastic over all they had seen in Chicago, but the rajz of rajas proved that he was a man of judgment as well as title when he stated the opinion that Washington was by all odds the most beautiful of all American cities. ‘The prince speaks English very well and, like all the party, was attired in conven- English clothes excepting that they the massive and gaily colored tur- of the orient. Saturday after they had come from their visit to the Capitol the whole party went to hear the Marine Band concert at the White House grounds and remained for some time as interested spectators of the gay scene. They were watched with much interest by the crowd, ‘but they all took this curiosity in good part and did not seem at all bored by the attentions they received. Yesterday the party made a visit to the White House and were received by Private Secretary ‘Thurber. In the forenoon they rode out to the Soldiers’ Home and before they left received the calls of several members of the diplomatic corps. ————— Gold in Grave Yards, A statement prepared by the mint bn- reau, Treasury rtment, shows that the production of gold and silver since 1732 up to 1892 aggregated $10,738,869,000, of which $5,633,908,000 was gold and $5,101,961,000 silver. ‘Of the gold produced $3,582,605,000 has been coined as money and the balance has been used in the arts. Of the silver produced. $4,042,700,000 has been coined as money and the balance used in the arts. Of the gold used in the arts it is stated, unoffi-inily, that most of tt is now in graveyards, as the practice of dentistry absorbs a large proportion of the gold used in the arts. Did She Sweart ‘One of the female clerks in the inspector's division of the Post Office Department caused a panic this morning by rushing into Inspector Clum’s lair and innocently asking him for a D blank. Mr. Clum was the first to detect the discrepancy between the lady’s remark and church-going Fin- glish, and promptly turned his face to the wall. The young lady, seeing the point, reddened like the sky when the flaring chariot of day rolls overboard into the waters of the west, and stammered out some explanation, which was that Inspector King had just ‘invented a new demand blank for the benefit of delinquent pcst- masters, and the initial of the word demand was used simply for the sake of brevity. Orders have been issued by the Treasury Department to all subtreasurers to pay out gold over the counters, the same as other classes of money. The effect of this {s to practically place the gold reserve among the available Treasury cash assets. As a result, the gold balance has been semewhat re- duced, being slightly below $100.000,000. The net Treasury balance 1s $11,750,000. ' Receipts continue light and expenditures heavy, so that before the month of August expires the Treasury balance and the gold balance will both be probably lower than now. Many Bills and Resolutions in the Former Body. Messrs. Powers and Hooker Speak Upon the Financial Question in the Bouse. THE SENATE. Among the numerous petitions presented in the Senate this morning was one remark- able specimen as to orthography, penman- ship and ideas, which was presented by Mr. Peffer. It gives the views of some of the agriculturists and laboring classes of a neighborhood in Illinois on the subject of finances. It was referred, as all others on the same subject were, to the committee on finance. Mr. Peffer also offered a substitute for the bill to increase National Bank circulation. It proposes the issue of $250,000,000 in treas- ury notes, to be deposited In the treasury and treated as so much available cash. Mr. Chandler offered a resolution, which was referred to the committee on elec- | tions, declaring that there was no lawful election of United States Senator in Kan- sas by the joint assembly which met on the 25th of January of this year and that John Martin is not entitled to a seat ar Senator. Mr. Stewart offered a resolution, which was agreed to, calling on the Secretary of the Treasury for a statement as to the sil- ver bullion purchased by the government during the month of July, with the price id, and the silver bullion offered for sale tie same month, with the prices asked. The finance committee bill discontinuing the purchase of silver bullion was then taken up so as to afford Mr. Morrill an op- portunity of addressing the Senate in favor of the bill. He first, however, asked and obtained an indefinite leave of absence, re- marking that he was in the Senate cham- ber today against the advice of his physt- cian. He then proceeded to read from slips his ‘speech bearing the motto “Sound money cheats nobody.” ; Upon the conclusion of Mr. Morrill’s speech Senator Vance asked for and ob- tained consent that the vote on the Lee Mantle resolution, which was to have been taken this afternoon at 5 o'clock, be post- poned until Wednesday at the same hour. Mr. Vance then took the floor to speak on that subject. THE HOUSE. After the reading of the journal Mr. Pow- ers (Vt.) took the floor in support of the re- peal of the purchasing clause of the Sher- man act. He referred to the Chicago plat- form and to the interpretation placed upon it by various democrats. The gentleman from Pennsylvania (Mr. Sibley) had re- ferred to the Savior of mankind as the first democrat and had taken the utter- ances of the Sayior as his platform; the gen- tleman from Massachusetts (Mr. rett) had taken Grover Cleveland as his plat- form and had gone around his district singing at top of his voice, “Oh, isn’t he @ dandy . Powers went on to argue that the purchasing clause of the Sherman bill ought to be repealed unconditionally | be- catise it was vicious in principle and dan- erous in application. Fay that the gold buss of Wall street were responsible for the present depression. If free colage were adopted those gold bugs could corner the market just as easily as they could today. it did not do merely to say that the republican party was Fespon- jt. site oractical question was what remedy should be. applied, Both es had de- ¢lared in favor of bimetallism, but if the United States were allowed to open its mints to the free colnage of silver the treasury would be carried to the verge of insolvency. The only solution of the prob- Jem was at once to suspend the colnage of that metal, which the world had discarded, until we could bring the world to its senses. That could be done by suspending the sliver purchase of the silver bullion. Then the nations of the world would come to recognize that there was not enough gold in the world to act as currency and they would come to a bimetallic basis. Mr. Hooker (Miss.) opposed the uncon- ditional repeal of the purchasing clause. The President had said that the remedy for the present deplorable state was the unqualified repeal of that clause. What rellef would come from such a ‘repeal? |The President spoke about restoring con- fidence. Where was confidence lacking? It was not in the great mass of the people, it was in the great money institutions of the country that locked up the currency. If labor was distressed it was attributable to the action of the banks. The repeal of the Sherman law would not restore trade or commerce, nor would it relieve the wage earner. ‘After the announcement of the committee appointments, on motion of Mr. Bland, Sat- Urday next was set apart for general de- bate instead of five-minute debate on the repeal bill. DISTRICT IN CONGRESS. To Extend Jurisdiction. Mr. Mitchell introduced in the Senate to- day a bill to extend the jurisdicton of ju: tices of the peace in the Distret of Columbia and to regulate the proceedings before them. The bill is the same one that was introduced last session by Mr. Hunton of Virginia. New Government Printing Office Bill. Senator Pasco of. Florida introduced today another bill providing for the purchase of a site and the erection of a new government printing office. The property described in the bill is square 736, containing 212,367 square feet of land, and is bounded as fol- lows: 369 feet on Ist street east, 369 feet on 2d street east, 575 feet on F street south and 575 feet on'E street south. The bill pro+ vides that the amount paid for the property shall not exceed the sum appropriat for the erection of the government printing of- fice, provided for in the sundry civil appro- priation bill of 189. If the property cannot be obtained by negotiation with the owners, condemnation proceedings are provided for. CAPITOL TOPICS. Quay Goes Back to Pennsylvania. Senator Quay yesterday vacated his apartments at the Normandie for an in- definite period and journeyed back to Penn- sylvania. The Senator was one of the first to put in an appearance after the special session was called. Now he says that there seems to be no need for him here, and he intends to take a vacation in a cooler cli- mate. The Pennsylvania Senator is paired with Senator Morgan of Alabama, and could not vote until the return of the lat- ter from Paris. Senator Morgan sailed on Saturday, and should be here before Sep- tember 1. Greenback Jones on Deck. The father of the greenback, and one of its most consistent and unfaltering advo- cates, Mr. George 0. Jones, has reached Washington from New York. With such a fog of financial talk being stirred up here Mr. Jones could not find it in his heart to remain elsewhere. He talks greenbacks with all his old-time fervor, and, as the next thing, is for the cause of silver, heart and soul. Wherever he sat down yester- day in an uptown hotel he became the cen- ter of an interested group. Mr. Oates’ Committee Proposition. Representative Oates of Alabama ts said to have in view the introduction of an amendment to the rules of the House, vest- ing in the House Itself the appointment of committees, something after the fashion fol- lowed in the Senate.

With the beginning of every Congress the plan outlined above, or something simlar to it, has been broached and discussed, but nothing has yet come of it, and the indications are now that the time is not ripe for the change. ishery Clerk Exam- ination. At the urgent request of the acting com- missioner of fish and fisheries the civil service commission has decided to admit to the statistical and fishery clerk exam- ination on the 29th instant for the fish com- mission applicants who are now employed in that commission, as well as those out- side the service. Those within and without the service will be admitted to the same competition on the same conditions. The salary of the position is $1,800 a year. It would not do to! ITALIANS EXCITED. A Howling Mob in Rome Surround the French Embassy. DISPERSED BY THE MILITARY A Fight Between French and Ital- ian Laborers the Origin. FEELING IN FRANCE. ROME, Aug. 19.—The troubles growing out of the fighting between French ard Italian workingmen employed at the salt works in Aigues Mortes, France, threaten to involve grave international complica- tions. It is not in Rome alone that the popular indignation at what the Italians consider a gross breach of international re- lations is finding vent in demonstrations that are evidently intended to coerce the government into demanding an apology from France for the attack upon Italians, and the payment of an indemnity to com- pensate the families of those Italians who Were killed. Riots directed againat French men have occu: in many 1 provin- cial towns, and the situation is considered exceedingly grave. The most serious outbreak of the popular feeling against the French occurred in this city late last night, when a hooting mob at- tempted to burn the French embassy. Some of the rioters carried cans of petroleum.and did not hesitate to openly declare that it was their intention to use it in destroying the embassy. The Mob Attacked. The authorities, however, were warned, that an attack might be attempted on the embassy, and a strong force of troops was detailed to guard the building. The rioters, however, attempted to carry out their threats to burn the embassy, notwithstand- ing the presence of the soldiers. They were ordered to disperse, but refused to do 80, Whereupon the soldiers charged upon them. The mob held their ground for a time and fought stubbornly. It was only after re- peated charges upon them were made that they began to retreat, fighting all the time. Forty-five of the rioters were arrested. Many of the mob who were at the fore- front fighting were wounded by the sabres that the soldiers used unsparingly. The rioting in the provincial towns was only quelled by the use of troops, the police being utterly powerless to handle the mob. Further details are anxiously awaited.

Most serious rioting outside of Rome was at Genoa, where the mob vented its wrath on the French tramway company.

The language of the ni pers, however, today is calm and dignified and confidence is expessed that France will give satisfac- tion and remove the mayor of Mortes. Much indignation is aroused by the accusations of Italians that the hos- pital authorities at Marseilles refused to at- tend the injured Italians for eight bours, until ordered to do so by the prefect.
