THE EVENING STAR: WASHINGTON, D. C, TUESDAY. SEPTEMBER 19, 1893; AYER'S Sarsaparilia, wherever used. is always spoken of in termsof highest praise. WILLIAM SMALL, Fort Pairfeld, Mo..says, in «letter recently received: “It ives me pleasure to speak from personal knowledge ofthe wonderful care, by the use of AYER'S Sarsa- parila, of a bad humor ins child eleven years old. ‘The child's hands, arms, fest and legs were covered with blotohesand scabs, resisting sil local applica- lions. Very soon after taking AYER'S Sarsaparilis Me humor disappeared, the cure being complete. As ‘blood purifier I consider that AYER’S SARSAPARILLA Stands atthe head of the whole catalogue of such preparations, especially when used im connection with AYER’S Pills." “There can be noquestion as to the superiority of AYER'S Sarsaparilla over all other blood purifiers, If this was not the case the demand for it, stesd of in- weasing yearly, would have ceased long ago, like so tmany other blood medicines I could name.”—F.

This was @one in order to keep out the crowd, but William and Martin Flannery, young men, Walked In with the air of the privileged class and called for drinks. They were re- fused, because it was thought they had ‘Deen indulging a little too much before they Feached there. A lively scene followed, in which Daniel O'Neill, a member of the Capitol police force, was brutally assaulted with a cane. When the drinks were refused one of the Young men, it is charged, used his cane on some of th- fine crockery, and the guar- dian of the peace was called in to prevent further disorder. He placed one of them under arrest, whereupon the other, so it is charged, began the assault with his cane, and in the assault it is charged both men figured. The officer's head was terribly cut and the loss of blood weakened him consitera- bly. Hoth the young men were finally land- ed in the police station, and charges of assault, disorderly conduct and destroying private property were preferred against them. "They were released on 80 collateral each for their appearance in the Police Court this morning. When the case was called ther failed to appear and their collaterals were forfeited. The amounts, it was thought, were In- sufficient to cover the magnitude of their offense. The officer appeared and exhibited his bioodstained shirt and cut head, and Ur. Murray, tae proprietor of the place, Gave the court an Idea of the trouble. Judge Miller thought that collateral should not have been accepted in such a ease and was about to issue an attachment when Lawyer Shillington appeared and promised to have the Flannery in court tomorrow.

He Will Have Nothing to Do With Protesting Silverit: LINCOLN, Neb., Sept. 19.—When the Pan- American Bimetallic Association some weeks ago arranged for a convention at St. Louis circulars were sent to Gov.

D. Bruce of Glasgow sat In a row and exchanged expressions of surprise at the size of the audience before them. The subjects discussed were wid-ly diver- sified. The Persian delegate spoke upon “Toleration,” urging that the widest la tude should be given to the sincere advo- cates of every belief that pointed man to an upward condition. “Greek Philosophy and che Christian Re- ligion” was the topic selected by Prof. Mul- ler, who compared the two ani illustrated wherein they agreed and differed. Dr. Haweis spoke upon “Music, Emotfon Prof. Bruce discussed “Man's Place in the Universe,” while Prof. Srives- ter S. Scovel, in a profo.nd paper, consid- ered the question as to vhat consiltutes a religious as distinguished from a moral life.

Mr. Platt Proposes an Amendment to the Senate Rules. A LIVELY DEBATE IN THE UPPER HOUSE. Several Senators Speak and Some of Them Sharply. : MORE EXPECTED TOMORROW. The third trump card of the managers of the silver repeal bill in the Senate was played today. A few minutes after noon Senator Voorhees moved the consideration of the bill, and then launched forth with an impassioned speech indicating the rea- sons why he could not move for a cloture and giving notice that tomorrow he would move for longer sessions of the Senate. ‘The discussion that followed was marked with considerable bitterness, and at times grew personal. The climax of it occurred when Senator Platt introduced an amend- ment to the rules of the Senate providing for a previous question. This amendment will be called up tomorrow, and the debate on it and the Voorhees motion will doubt- less be very warm. Senator Voorhees began his remarks by alluding to the original rules of the Senate, addressing himself, he said, as well to the large body of inteiligent citizens as to the mass of densely ignorant ones. He pointed out that from 1789 until 1806 the Senate rules contained a provision for the pre- vious question, which was tried fully and then deliberately abandoned. He Defends His Position. “I am arraigned for not terminating this debate,” he said. “I might as well be ar- raigned for not checking the flow of the tides. Since 1806 to the present time the Senate has proceeded upon the rules of American manhood, self respect and high propriety, as well as a sense of duty to the Dublic and of decency to itself. It is a mighty tribute to this body. There is a prevailing belief yet that no Senator will abuse patience In this debate. “In my judgment,” he went on, ‘the criticisms of a certain class will fall as harmless from the Senate as from myself. I meet those criticisms with absolute and stern deflance. The criticisms of the New York bankers come from a class that not even the Savior would speak of with re- spect; nor do I He alluded to the force bill, and declared that it was not debated to death, though the consideration of it lasted fifty days and the debate thirty-one days. It was killed by the power of thought and reason, slain by, the law of the majority, voted to death. “If there is a power here to talk this bili to death,” he said, alluding to the Wilson bin, “I am ready to embrace its fate, and mine with it.” He divided the pubic press into two classes, one that soared in the high level of pure thought, and the other that wallowed in the slough of “minsmatic mendacity.’ In conclusion the Senator appeiled for the third ime to the silver managers to know if there was a time whea a vote could co taken, and Senator Dubois arose to iy. Senator Dolph’s Reply. He scored the Senator from Indiana se- verely, alluding to his speech as a “splen- id declamation” that had been a mere ex- planation of personal matters to those out- side of the chamber and had not told the Senators a thing they did not already know. He denied Mr. Voorhees’ statement that the force bill was voted to death and reviewed that legislation. “A minority on this side?" he asked. “How does he know that there is a minor- ity here?” He arraigned Senator Voorhees for not. Proceeding in order, and said that it was a safe guess that he was about to propose longer sittings. “We are ready to join issue with him," called out the Senator from Idaho in cha! lenge, “on any question for continuous ses- sions or night sessions or for a cloture. Then Mr. Dubots pald his respects to the anti-silver’ republicans in no moderate terms, but in such a humorous spirit that he raised a general laugh. Me. Dehets’ Hamar, “The distinguished administration Sena- tors on this side of the chamber will prob- bly be glad to follow in the procession led by the Senator from Indiana. The senfor Senator from Massachusetts will doubtless be happy to wave the band mas- ter's baton, and the senior Senator from the same state will unquestionably be glad to play the drum, while the senior Senator from Ohio walks arm in arm with the Senator from Indiana. ‘he Senator from Indiana ts not in a happy situation.” he went on, “and it is a A make his case worse, but we must it. Senator Voorhees was on his feet in a moment when Mr. Dubois had concluded and he said that he realized that an effort to establish cloture would consume not only the present session but all of the next one.

IN SENATE AND HOUSE. Senator Squire Has a Substitute for the Voorhees Bill. Continued Filibuster in the House Over the Introduction of the Fed- eral Elections Repeal Bill. THE SENATE. Mr. Squire (Wash.) gave notice of a sub- stitute which he intended to offer for the bill to repeal the silver purchase act, and it was read in full. It permits the deposit of silver bullion by its owner and the coin- age thereof into standard silver dollars, of which he is to receive only the amount corresponding to its commercial value. ‘The coinage is not to exceed four millions @ month or two hundred millions in_all. ‘The dollars are to be legal tender and no certificates are to be issued. . Mr. Voorhees (ind.) defended himself from adverse criticism in the management of the bill by showing the impossibility under the rules of making greater haste, and the debate elsewhere reported oc- curred. At 2 o'clock Senutor Vest, Mo., took the floor in accordance with his previous an- nouncement, to aidress the Senate on the President's message. THE HOUSE. Although the democrats claimed a quo- rum of thelr number was present this morning it was certainly not mustered at noon today, although the attendance was larger than usual. Mr, Fitch, N. Y., chair- man of the committee on the election of the President and Vice President, was early in the hall, as were also Tucker, Va., and Burrows, Mich. After the approval of the Journal, Sly Flynn, Oklohoma, asked con- Sent for the consideration of @ resolution, reciting that the settlers of the Cherokee strip had been shot down by United States soldiers, and requesting the Secretary of War to inform the House as to the cireum- stances, and show by what authority the troops were acting. He said that the rules and regulations of the administration rela- tive to the opening of the Cherokee strip had been a disgrace to the civilization of the nineteenth century, and the capstone of that disgrace was that after keeping set- tlers where they could procure no water the strong arm of the military had been called in, and the soldiers had been allowed to shoot down inoffensive men. Tucker, Va., objected to the resolution. The Can of Committees. ‘The Speaker directed the clerk to call the committees for reports, whereupon Mr. Burrows, in his dulcet tones, addressed the House. He said that he had no ides that there would be any objection to dispensing with the call of committees with leave to members having reports to make to file them with the clerk, except such reports as related to the federal election laws. As these olly words fell from) Mr. Bur- rows Ups Mr. Tucker smilingly shook his head and Mr. Fitch arose and objected, Mr. Burrows in marked astonishment sald that he would be compelled to ask to dis- pense with the call end made a motion to that effect. ‘The vote resulted: Yeas, 0; nays, 173; five less than a quorum. Mr. Fitch, moved a call of the House. Mr. Fitch's motion was agreed to. Nays, 0; yeas, 170, and the call was ordered. Calls of the House. The call of the House disclosed the pres ence of a quorum and Mr. Fitch moved to Gispense with further proceedings there- under. On a division the vote was dis- closed to be, yeas, 12); nays, 54. Mr. Bur- rows (Mich.) demanded tellers. The vote by tellers—135 yeas and 19 nays—again broke the quorum and Mr. Burrows de- manded the yeas and nays. ‘The demand was seconded by a sufficient number and the clerk began another call of the Tol The vote was announced yeas, 163; nays, nothing. Speaker pro tem. Dockery announced that the yeas had it, that the motion to dis- pense with further proceedings under the call of the House had been adopted. Mr. Burrows, who had voted in the affirmative, moved a reconsideration of the vote. “This led to another yea and nay vote, which was mn at 2:20 orclock. t 2:50 the House adjourned in order to enable the democrats to hold a caucus upon the federal elections bill. The caucus as. sembled immediately ment of the House. aS Why Anncostia W Not First. In regard to the statement made that the Hydraulion Company of Alexandria, Va., reached the scene of the great patent office fre of 1877 some time before the Anacostia Company arrived, Mr. George Keithly, late of the Anacostia Fire Company, and the second engineer of the Veteran Volunteer Firemen’s Association, writes to The Star as follows: “In justice to all concerned, T beg leave to state that the Anacostia Com- pany was disbanded in 184, or fourteen Years before the patent office fire occurred.

Judging trae | DISTRICT AFFAIRS. A Bill to Facilitate the Sale of Property for Taxes. Defects in the Law to Be Remedied— Various Matters That Citizens Bring to Official Attention. The Commissioners have transmitted to Congress, with a recommendation for fa- vorable action, a draft of < Wili prepared by the collector of taxes and the attorney for the District, with a view to making more efficient the law enforcing the collection of taxes by sales of property, ihe taxes on which are overdue, The principal necessity for some legisla- tion of this character is the impoesibility under the present law of giving a tax deed which the courts wil sustain, ang tue inn- practicability of enforcing in equity the Jien of the District on the property which it is compelled to buy 11 ut iax sales for the lack of other purchasers. The difference in the first case is the iporteace which courts attach to the most trivial technical defects in the ‘ax sule advercisement, and in the second case to the almost ineur- mountable obstaclos in the way of prepar- ing the cases for hearings, to which all the Parties con2erned, howsoever remote, have to be brought. The proposed bill contemplates the waiv- ing of immaterial errors in the advertise- ment, to overcome the difficulties of the kind ‘first mentioned, and secondly to ob- Viate the necessity for resorting to equity Tequired by the existing law by exacting that property for which there are no bid- ders shall be deeded by the Commissioners to the assessor, who is authorized to dis- Pose of it whenever he chooses to a satis- factory purchaser who will pay a price for it sufficient to reimburse the District for the principal, interest and cost. Another feature of the bill is that which permits the owner of the property sold at tax sale to redeem it from the grantor within a specified time by paying to the cole lector of taxes the amount for which the property was originally sold, with penaltizs, costs, &c., together with 50'per centum ad- ditional thereon. This is designed to pre- vent the purchasers of property at tax sales from extorting excessive exactions from those whose property they may have bought. There are other modifications in- corporated in the bill, which extend the time and opportunity’ for redemption, in order to give delinquent taxpayers the broadest notice practicable. Orders for Work. The following orders were issued by the Commissioners today: That contract be awarded to J. G. and J. M. Warders for furnishing 12,000, more or less, of hydraulic cement to be delivered in barrels or bags either at the D.

He states that he will, if requested to do so, put one of his fenders on the Washington and cars, and demonstrate its worth to the Commissioners and the public. Building permits were issued to Dr. J.

Miscellaneous, Amanda Dove of 135 29th street northwest complains to the Commissioners of the condition of two trees in front of her house, which were blown over in the storm of last Friday, and asks that they be re- moved. Another Protest Against Cobble Stones Thomas P. Woodward of 1% New York avenue adds his protest to that of the other Property holders on New York avenue against the granting of permission wo the Eckington and Soldiers’ Home Railway Company to lay cobble stones between tts tracks. He claims that the excuse offered by the company, that they expect within two years to put their wires under ground, is insincere, as the ties and tracks now being laid by them do not bear out the idea. He further claims that the granting of such permission will ruin the surface of one of the city’s most important thorough- fares. .
