TERRE HAUTE, Ind., Nov. 17.—Senator Voorhees, who is home for two weeks, bee tween sessions of Congress,said to @ United | Press reporter this morning, that he expect- ed the House would send the tariff bill to the Senate before the holidays. The bill is | now being prepared and the Senator !s con- fident the measure will not be delayed in the House. It will be referrad to the committee on finance, of which he is chairman. Whea asked if affected interests would be | given a hearing by the committee, Mr.Voor- hees said that ample opportunity would be afforded to all. There would be no effort to rush the measure recklessly. Undoubted- ly there would_be final action on the meas- ure at this session. It was imperative that there should be no unnecessary delay. The Senator expressed regret that there should be frequent legislation on the tariff. because it was hurtful to the industrial and business interests of the country. Me regards the tariff as taxation, and believes it should be so adjusted as to least dis- turb the business interests of the country The Senator was unwilling to express an epinion on the Hawaiian situation. He preferred to await the forthcoming report to Congress, which would give fuller infor- | mation than he now possesses. Assum- fag the facts to be as stated by Secretary Gresham, he indorsed the action of the administration. | The reported interview between himself | and Secretary Gresham, in which he is/ alleged to have spoken of a bad effect on the party by the administration action, he pronounced to be pure fiction, as he has not seen Secretary Gresham since the Secre- po report to the President was com- He also denied the report of a sensational interview with the President after the re- peal of the purchase clause of the Sherman act over the appointment of Joshua Jump to be collector of internal revenue for this district. He laughed at the story and said he had not seen the President since the ‘Wednesday before the Monday the vote was taken on the silver measure. . ——— NOT SEEING POLITICIANS. Gov. McKinley Devoting His Time in New York to Pleasure. NEW YORK, Nov. 17.—If Gov. Wm. Me- Kinley, jr., of Ohio is going to interest him- self in politics during his stay in this city he has as yet given no indication of it.

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 17.—General Mas- ter Workman Powderly made a spirited ad- dress at this morning’s session of the Knights of Labor, General Assembly, and it is believed that it was in reply to the charges made against himself and A. W. Wright and John Devlin of the executive board by Secretary-Treasurer Hayes. The master workman was on the floor when the noon adjournment was taken and he will resume this afternoon. He refusea to be interviewed. The finance committee has not yet com- pleted its investigation of the charges pre- tf by the secretary-treasurer and it was stated today that the work will probably not be finished until Monday. Congratulatory telegrams were received this ‘morning from the New York State As- sembly, Knights of Labor, in session at Albany, and from the Illinois Federation of Labor. —_— BISMARCK IMPROVES SLOWLY. He Writes That He Hopes to Recover His Former Health. BERLIN, Nov. 17.—Prince Bismarck has sent a telegraphic reply to a mesage receiv- ed a few days ago from his admirers in West Prussia expressing the hope of his speedy and full recovery from his illness. ‘The prince in his message said: “My recovery progresses slowly, though steadily. With God's aid I hope in the} courge of the winter to regain my former health. Then I shall always be pleased to receive again my political and personal friends who favor me with their visits.” * NEW YORK, Nov. 17.—Dr. Wm. J. Mor- ton, who recently returned from a visit to ny, where he was reported to have gone to prescribe for Prince Bismarck, has again departed for the other side. He sail- ed on Tuesday on the Lahn. He received @ cablegram which called him hurriedly away, but it is not known what was the cause of this second trip abroad. ——._—_. EL CID KEPT BACK.

Grant this morning levied an attachment on the new Brazilian war ship | El Cid, restraining her from leaving this | Port until the salaries of Joseph Noonan and ——— King, junior engineers; John Lynch, lames Crav — po ‘en and Patrick Mahone, cooks, ‘The attachment was Issued by Judge Brown of the United States circuit court.

PRAGUE, Nov. 17.—The police at Gab- Jonz, a Bohemian town on the river Neisse, have been extraordinarily vigilant in their search for explosives since the outrages at Barcelona and Marseilles. Today they dis- covered in a house occupied by Joseph Predigar, a stone mason, four kilos of dy- Ramite, a number of rifles and a quantity of ammunition. Predigar was arrested. The police believe that he is connected with some secret society that is plotting to start ® rebellion against the authorities. It is mot believed that he is an anarchist. ——- THE MEXICAN REVOLT. Corrilitos Reported to Be Taken by the Rebels. PASO DEL NORTE, Mex., Nov. 17—A eourrier from the scene of the recent in- surgent uprising in this state brought the news last night that the rebels surprised and captured the town of Corriltos. The small garrison was put to flight and some 800 horses, ammunition, camp stores and arms were seized. Two companies of fed- eral troops got under way to Corrilitos from here last night and two companies of cav- alry were en route to the same point when the courrier was sent back. Some doubt exists about the courrier’s story, but the activity of the military gives it the color of truth. eo REVOLTS IN HAYTI. They Are Not Due There Until After the Coffee Crop Harvest. W YORK, Nov. 17—The steamer G.W. which arrived this m f, Turks Island and elsew! no disturbance at Hayti, when she left, No- vember 10. A passenger, who did not wish to give his name, said he discredited every rumor of revolution, because experience in the past all goes to show that revolutions only occur after the coffee crop is in and the hands paid off. The harvest has only just begun. STILL HUNTING HIM. The Furniture Slasher Remains as Great a Mystery as Ever, Citizens im Nightly Fear of a Visit—A Possible Clae—Burglars Last Night. So far as the police know Slasher,” as they call him, failed to put in an appearance last night, and the dawn of day once more relieved the anxiety of a great many women, who are in constant fear of him. He had assaulted no one, nor has he even attempted injury to anything, except clothing and household effects, but there aré many women who would perhaps take the chances of sustaining injury to themselves as readily as they would suffer their new dress and fall bonnet to fall under the burglar’s knife. Several cases of ladies becoming frightened and nervous | because of the fear of a@ visit from this ghost-like individual have come to light. Only two nights ago, at the house of |a prominent resident of Southeast Wash- ington, there was a procession of white robes in the corridors. The vandal was supposed to be in the house, as noise sim- ilar to that of some one cutting the carpet was heard. There was some nudging and “what's the matter?” was asked in a low tone. “I believe that burglars down stairs cutting the carpet.” Then there was a rapid motion of the heart, but the brave girl left her bed, and with her sister started in search of the burglar. Reaching the hallway on the upper floor they saw the form of a man in white leaning over the stairway listening at the noise. Down the stairs the two started, but the, angel-like appearance of the fair ones did not get an opportunity to frighten off a | burglar. The pet dog of the house had been left in the parlor, and in his endeavor to get out had pawed several holes in the carpet. ‘At another house not many squares from this early morning scene an almost similar | Scene was enacted. Two young ladies and their mother made up the procession. Heavily Armed. In the lead went one of the sisters, armed with an old revolver that had not been in use for many years,while behind her tripped the other sister, carrying a hat pin for a weapon. The mother, although the bravest of the trio, could not get along so rapidly, and she was forced to bring up the rear. “Stop.” “Listen.” The noise to the aroused occupants of the house was distinct, and, with an anxiety akin to fear, they made their way to the lower floor, expecting to find their new par- lor carpet in shreds, but there was not even @ mouse to be found, and back they went to bed. A Possible Clue. The police are still on the lookout for the burglar, and today it was stated that the officers of one of the precincts had obtained a tangible clue and they are confident that the slasher will soon be captured. Got an Outfit. Burglars made a good haul on Capitol Hill last night. While the work in some respects is similar to that of the “slasher” it is not thought that it was his work. On Pennsylvania avenue between 34 and 4th streets the burglar visited three stores. Schwartz Bros., merchant tailors, were the worst sufferers. At their place the rear window was opened, and in that way the burglar effected an entrance. New clothing and perhaps some cloth was taken. The proprietors are certain that their loss will be at least $200, and perhaps more. In the yard, in rear of the store, the burglar left his overcoat, wearing off a new coat in ex- change. From there they went to the shoe store of Ferd Frank adjoining. The con- tents of the cash drawer, not more than $3, was taken, and it is thought that the burglar also carried off a pair or two of shoes. Having a full suit of clothes and a pair of shoes the burglar went to Good- man's gents’ furnishing store to get an out- fit of underwear and a hat, but iron bars protecting the rear window were too much for him, and he could only reach in and get a pair of trousers belonging to the pro- prietor. There was nothing in the pockets of the trousers, and so he threw them way. "The police took the overcoat left by the burglar, and will endeavor to find its owner. —_——__ AN ANONYMOUS LETTER. Lieut. Kelly Has Some Strong Views on the Subject. The Commissioners recently received an anonymous communication calling atten- tion to, and protesting against, the num- ber of saloons located between G and I, 2d and North Capitol streets. Clerk Wil- lams of the excise board sent the commu- nication to Lieut. Kelly of the sixth pre- cinct, with instructions to report which of the places mentioned in the protest were worthy of license. Lieut. Kelly is against anonymous com- munications, and puts his views in the fol- lowing letter: “I respectfully state that such anonymous communications: are not worthy of con- sideration. I would also state that several of those saluons and liquor stores are not within the sixth precinct, and four of those enumerated in said protest have al- ready received their licenses by the approval by the honbrable Commissioners for the present year. One other, named has gone out of the business. “My position as Meutenant of police re- quires that I shall act in all matters ap- pertaining to my business in a fair and im- partial manner. I have no favorites among this class of persons. I am under no obli- gations to any of them. I have not the right to grant any license. I therefore can- not say which one of the different appli- cants should be granted a license. Question 3 in the accompanying form applies direct- ty to what is required by law, and when an application for a license comes to me for inves: tion will always endeavor to make a fair and truthful report thereon. In any case where it comes to my knowl- edge that any applicant applying for a li- cense does not conduct his place in an orderly manner or violates the laws relating thereto, I certainly will not hesitate to say pos —a THE TARIFF BILL. Not Quite Ready to Submit to the Democratic Members. All the democrats of the ways and means committee have returned to Washington in response to an urgent call from the chair- man and they were at the Capitol today expecting to have the bill which has been prepared by the sub-committee. submitted to them for revision. The sub-committee, however, was at work, again revising the Proofs of the bill. and it was announced that the meeting of all the democrats would not be held before tonight or tomorrow. The call was so urgent for them to be here today that Mr. Cockran. who was in New York with an important law case on hand, dropped all his work to get here, and By- num, who was out on a gunning expedi- tion, allowed numerous small game to es- cape him in his haste to get back to Wash- ington. There was some little impatience over the fact of their being brought back so hastily when there was no meeting to be held today. ~ + © PRINCESS ANNE OF HOBOKEN. She Bids Farewell to the White House Today. Princess Anne of Hoboken, niece of Queen Victoria, who made fruitless 2n- deavors to see the President on Wednes. day and yesterday, paid her third and last visit this morning. When she appeared at the White House today and austerely de- manded an audience with Mr. Cleveland the usher at the main entrance politeiy in- formed her that it would be impossible to see the President unless the nature of her business with him was known. The prin- cess refused to give any information on this point, and informed the usher that she theught she had been treated very badly. “Farewell,” said her highness, “I go, but not to return. I will go back to Hoboken, there to tell my people and my aunt's sub- jects how L have been used.” FINANCE AND TRADE. Dullness Continues to Reign Over Wall Street. THE BIGGEST DROP WAS IN READING, American Tobacco Also Suffered a Slump. GENERAL MARKET REPORTS. Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. NEW YORK, Nov. 17.—The opening of to- day’s stock market was dull and irregular, with yesterday’s conditions still in force. Traders wers disposed to cover on declines and but little addition was made to the short interest except in one or two in- stances. London was higher, though very dull, and cable advices reported a complete recovery from the unwarranted fears con- cerning the bad financiering on the part of Bank of England officials in connection with trust company operations, The bank's loss, if any, will not be large. Reading was sold freely during the fore- noon by Philadelphia interests, presumably on Expert Little’s report to the bondhold- ers’ committee. The stock was depressed 21-2 per cent to 20 before the pressure was relieved and found considerable support at the latter price. ‘The stock of the American Tobacco Com- pany, which as a rule is entirely regulated except by the specialists, was conspicuous today because of its weakness, a net loss of 51-2 per cent being recorded at midday. Notwithstanding a decrease of $43,000 in earnings for the second week this month St. Paul was strong on good buying and advanced 3-4 of a point from closing figures. The market was inclined to drag through- out the session and offered but little en- couragement to operators on either side. The lack of a leader and the dearth of news results in a speculative equilibrium that {Is liable to be destroyed the moment either of the above needs are supported. The foreign exchange market was again very buoyant and advanced 1-2 per cent to 484a486 1-2. The demand from remitters is increasing and for the period of the year the supply of bills is extremely limited. The closing hour was as void of feature as its predecessors and prices were inclined to yield whenever there was any activity. The dullness was a trifle more pronounced than at any time during the Week. There was no demand for stocks that did not originate in the room and the supply came m that source, making a narrow and unprofitable market. Closing prices were all a trifle below the best for the day. —__ FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL. ‘The following arethe opening, lowest and the closing prices of. market today, a reported the highest and the the New York stock by Corson & Macarti members New York stock exchanze.

A Meeting to Further Sach am Organi- sation Held. Last night, at the residence of Mr. E. C. Bowen of the Arlington Wheelmen, the | Committees of the various clubs appointed | to consider the question of building a bi- | cycle race track, had a meeting. Those present were Messrs. G. W. Cook, C. R. Murray and R. G. Cloakey, of the George- town Cycle Club; Geo. W. Bennett, and C. | J. Ronsaville of the Washington Road Club; R. C. Jones, G. B. Weiss and R. R. Burr of the Potomac Wheelmen. It was resolved to form a temporary or- ganization with a view to the ultimate es- tablishment of an organization to be known as the Associated Cycling Clubs of Wash- ington, such organization to build and control a track for training and racing pur- | poses. Mr. Bowen was elected president and Mr. Cook secretary of the temporary organ- ization, and a committee of four (to be added to as the various clubs of the city join in the movement, at the discretion of the president), Messrs, Bowen, Cook, Jose and Jones, appoihted to inspect the avail- able sites for a track in and about the city and to report at the next meeting. It was also resolved that the chairmen |of the various club committees report the formation of the association to their re- Spective clubs and endeavor at the next meetings of the clubs to have a guarantee fund established as a basis for the asso- ciated committees to work upon and to report their success at the next meeting. Several schemes were suggested, appar- ently the most favorable being to start a popular subscription among the wheelmen of the city, by which it is believed that a good track can be built, and, without doubt, supported; a track once having been estab- lished, the increased membership of the clubs and the additional interest which a good track would enthuse being considered ample for the maintenance of such track. The movement must be pushed ahead rapidly, as the building of track takes con- siderable time, and the adoption of various for the surface will have to be the best results, built tracks will be asked for their opinions, and their expe- rience of the different surfaces will be of great benefit to the city organization. The constitutions of the associated clubs of Chicago, Baltimore and Philadelphia will be discussed and the best possible points taken as a basis for the Washington As- sociated Cycling Clubs. — next meeting will be held December = MORE TRAMPS. The First of the Army Has Already Reached Here. In Judge Kimball's court this morning several strangers appeared on charge of vagrancy, and gave Judge Kimball reason to believe that the statement made in court Wednesday, that an army of 1,500 tramps would reach here between now and the holiday season, was true. John Tammany was the name given by one of them, and his friends registered as Richard Scoville, Charles Horning, Mark Williams and Frank Osgood. Last night they were found in the vicinity of Anacostia seated around a camp fire, and the officer gave them more enjoya- bel quarters in little Uniontown station. Scoville made a good showing and prom- ised to leave the city. “I'll let you go and you must get out of town within an hour.” “I'll get out in half an hour if you let me go,” said Tammany. “Not this time,” said the judge. “If there are fifteen hundred tramps coming here we intend to give them a warm reception. They were given ten days each, and the judge warned them that, when released, they had better leave the city before they meet too many officers. John Cahill, a stranger, who was found begging on Pennsylvania avenue last even- ing, was sent down for fifteen days. In Eckington last evening Tobe Parker, a well-known negro, was found sleeping 1 car. There had been a robbery committed in that neighborhood the night before, and the negro was arrested on suspicion. His excuse was that he was,out there waiting for the Pittsburg train fo be made up. It was cold, and he went in the car and fell asleep. Judge Kimball gave him ten days. _ A CAPITOL GUIDE. Arrested for Having Someone's Else Overcont in His Possession. During the special session of Congress a number of members of the Senate and a number of Congressmen and employes of the Capitol lost overcoats out of committee rooms, and in one or two cases a watch was stolen, and the petty thievery was not confined to one side of the Capitol, but was perpetrated in both wings. Every effort failed to discover the thief until this morn- ing, when Ellis Patton, one of the guides outside of the Capitol building (not an offi- cial guide of the Capitol), was arrested with an overcoat belonging to one of the employes in his possession, which, it was alleged, he had just stolen from a waiting room. He was arrested by the Capitol po- lice and turned over to the Metropolitan police authorities. Bicycles Stolen. A bicycle was stolen from in front of Thomas Palmer & Sons’ bicycle store, cor- ner of Massachusetts avenue and 6th street, about o'clock Wednesday afternoon.
