LATE NEWS BY WIRE. Ending of the Hatters’ Lockout at Danbury. SURRENDER OF THE TRADES ONIONS Over Three Thousand Persons Ask for Work. A FEW OF THEM TAKEN BACK DANBURY, Conn., eb. 1.—The jeclaring off of the lockout last night by the trades unions was one of the biggest surprises that have occurred in the labor troubles in this city. Twenty hours before this action Was taken the labor leaders had declared that the unions were os strong as at any time during the struggle. The result of the !ockout is an almost complete victory for the manufacturers, | and it is probably a death-blow to unions in this city. There was a big scramble among the hat- ters this morning to get their old places. They were on hand in crowds when the | Whistles sounded a: 7 o'clock and many of them had been waiting at the factories since | 6 o'clock and earlier, so as to be at the head of the line and first to hand in their appli- cations for work. Over 3,000 of them were thus engaged, a large number of these being women and girls. When the doors opened, the old help, immediately, were disappointed. None of them received employment, but their appli- cations were taken. Some of the factories have been running for a week with help that have deserted the vnions, and these few have given them a large enough force to get out what few or- ‘The manufacturers now admit that they have lost their spring trade, and say they will take back only about 25 per cent of the 4,000 they discharged ten weeks ago This will leave upward of 3,000 hatters un. employed in Danbury for an indefinite time. —— PRESIDENT GREENHUT’S VIEWS. The Hend of the Whisky Trust on Proposed Legislation. CHICAGO, Feb. 1.—A special to the Her- ald from Peoria, Ill, says: President Green- hut of the Distilling and Cattle Feeding Company was seen at his residence last night and asked his opinion on the action of the House of Representatives at Washing- ton in adopting the amendment to the tariff bill providing for an increased whisky tax to $1. He stated that the company was not in- terested in having the bonded period ex- tended. That was a inatter that affected Kentucky, Pennsylvania and Maryland dis- tillers, who make goods exclusively for ageing. + As to the provisions increasing the tax 10 cents a galion he said it was just what he expected the House would do, but the general impression prevails in distilling circles that before the bill finally passeg there will be a much larger ‘increase in order to provide additional revenue for the government. Mr. Greenhut says that even if the income tax bill vill not provide one- half the revenue required. —— AIMED AT JACKSON CITY. | An Anti-Gambling Bill to Be Intro- duced at Richmond.

Senator Mushback of Alexandria said to The Star correspondent this morning: “The governor, the attorney general and myself are holding conferences with a view to evil in the state, and hope to be successful.” Further than this Capt. Mushback would not talk on the subject. The bill, however, the correspondent is reYably informed, is few days. It is almost certain that it will be aimed directly at Jackson City.

NASHVILLE, Tenn., Feb. 1—The Bank | of Eastern Arkansas, at Forest City, was robbed this morning at 3 o'clock by two unknown men. The vault and the inner safe were blown open, but the time lock remained secure, and the bulk of the money which the robbers hoped to reach was left untouched.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., Feb. 1.—The Ex-! aminer today prints a story which, if true, puts an end to many conflicting stories of the escape of the bandits, Chris Evans and Ed Morrell, to Mexican territery. The paper prints a long interview, purporting” to-have | been held with the bandits, January <5, at Sampson's Flat. Richard Bigelow, a man well known in the San Joaquin valley, and who was once engaged in business with Evans, sends the interview. Evans also sent a short letter to two newspaper men. There is little doubt that this leyer was written by the bandit. The two refugees talk freely of their experiences in the mountains and foothills in the vicinity of Sampson's Flat, and tell of several ovca- s on which Sheriff Scott's men were close upon them. The bandits claim ey are being well provided for by the miners and ranchers in that wild mountain- ous region. Bigelow quotes Evans as follows: “At present we are going to stay right in the mountains and take our time and opportun- we please in leaving for foreign ——— FEW CARE TO RIDE.

Werts, when : So Senator Gorman Regards the Repeal of the Silver Law. A Lively Debate—Secretary wlisle Defended by Mr. Voorhees—The Bond Issne Discussed. At last the friends cf the administration in the Senate have lifted up their voices in defense of the Secretary of the Treas- ury, who has been so unmercifully belabor- ed by the populists and the republicans of late. In the Senate yesterday afternoon, ater The Star had gone to press, Mr. Gor- man talked for over an hour in reply to the attack that was made on the democrat- ic polley by Senator Sherman on Tuesday. It was the general opinion when Mr. Gor- man finished that he had not done the treasury any good by his defense. In fact, he seemed w be more anxious to set the party square with the world, so far as Mr. Sherman’s attack was concerned, than to uphold the policy that had recently been begun by Mr. Carlisle. Then, too, he ap- peared to. have a deep dark purpose in mind. As his speech was developed he was found { to be teiling some very interesting tales out | of school, and before the astonished Sen- | ate could recover its breath Mr. Gorman was saying what a mistake the repeai of the Sherman law had been. In fact one of the leaders of the great repeal fight of the autumn was declaring in his most emphatic | terms that the movement toward repeal was a mistake, and had been supported by a majority of those on the democratic | side of the chamber only in the belief that repeal meant better times. He said that all of them on that side had hoped for ter times as a result of repeal. At this there was a storm of protests from his | democratic colleagues, who raised their voices to say: “Not all of us.” Mr. | George was particularly vociferous, and | continued to call “Not all of us,” while Mr. Pugh raised a laugh by remarking, loud enough to be heard all over the chamber: | “It was a mighty small party that thought | there would be better times.” | Allusion to the President. Mr. Gorman went cn to say that he had | never thought that repeal was wise, and | that he had gone into the matter against | his‘ judgment. There had been a remark- | able pressure for the enactment of the re- peal bill and there had been unusual urg- ing from sources that were authoritative—/ | unquestionably meaning the President—and 80 repeal had been accomplished. Another significant part of Mr. Gorman’s | Speech, which did not escape attention en | the republican side of the chamber, was | sentence in which he alluded to cloture as an improbability in the Senate. He had | been spurred on by Mr. Hoar’s guestion of | what the democrats were going to do to re- Neve the treasury in its embarrassment, and why they had not already done som: thing, and he said earnestly, that nothing | would be done in a hurry. There was no chance, he went on, that there would ever | | be a gag rule in the Senate, and there was no real need of haste. An important reve-, nue bili could not, or should not, be hur- | vied through. | Most of his speech, however, was directed at the strictures laid upon the democratic party by Mr. Sherman and Mr. Hoar. Mr. | Gorman said that the treasury had been | made bankrupt by the republicans, ~who | | were now trying to nold the democrats re- | ‘sponsible for {ts condition, The debate | ran hot at this point, and Mr. Gorman wus | assailed with questions by Senators Ho Sherman, Hale and Aldrich, who sought to pin him down to an answer to their ques- tion why the democrats are not stirring themselves to bring in a revenue measure, |instead of passing ‘through the House a bill that ts admittedly drawn so that it will reduce revenues. Republicans Not Responsible. Mr. Sherman took the floor after Mr. )}Gorman had concluded and denied that! during the Harrison administration there | was any bankruptcy in the treasury. So | far from that being the case, he stated that, in addition to all the expenditures of | the government, the Harrisons administra- | tion had paid $257,000,000 of the public debt. | And what, he asked, was the condition of | the treasury now? The deficiency had been \oaused (in his judgment) by the fear and dread, on the part of business men, of the effect of tampering with the tariff. Senator Voorhees then addressed the Senate at some length to defend the posi- tion taken by Mr. Carlisle. He caused to be read the statement of Secretary Cariisle as to his interpretation of the law on the bond question. He said there was no ques- tion of the Secretary's power to issue bonds, and any question as to the expendi- ture of the money was a subject for later consideration. | “Is there any proposition now to issue bonds for redeeming greenbacks?” inquired | Senator Daniel of Virginia. | “The proposition to issue bonds,” replied | Senator Voorhees, “contains nothing but ie authority in the law, neither afirming | nox+denying what use is to be made of the | money, and I take it that we cannot in-| quire into that until after the money has | been secured by the issue of the bonds.” “The Senator means in court?” inquired Senator Daniel. “I mean ‘in court,” replied Senator Voor- hees, “and the people will respect the} court. I hold that whatever the courts de- termine to be the law the American peopte | will respect and observe. I do not believe | there is any considerable class of people | who will hold the courts in contempt and | refuse them their obedience. I say here to-| day with what small reputation I may have, as a lawyer, that the courts in this | country. will hold that the Secretary of the Treasury had the absolute, unquestioned | inquired Sena- “There is no purpose proclaimed,” an- swered Senator Voorhees,» piles Unlimited by the purpose defined in the again queried Senator Daniel. | ‘Has the Secretary of the Treasury the| right to issue bonds for any other purpose | than that defined in the law, or to use the | money for a diflerent purpose than that pro vided by law for the issuing of the bonds “Whenevez,” said Senator Voorhees, “the Secretary of the Treasury is going to use| this money after he gets it, contrary to the view of the Senator from Virginia. it will | be time for him to go into court and re-| strain him. In the first place I hold with) the Secretary of the Treasury, and contrary | to the Senator from Ohio (Sherman), that | the Secretary can use this money in any way that seems to him properly conduc to the general purpose contemplated by the act of 1875—to redeem the greenbacks and carry on the government.” Faith in Secretary Carts Continuing, Senator Voorhees said: “I be- lieve that JohnG.Carlisle is right in believing that he can take care of this government by these funds or any other that come into his hands. John G. Carlisle is fit to sit where John Marshal sat. He is a lawyer among lawyers, at whose feet Senators here who are criticising him can sit and take| instruction and learning and wisdom by the day and by the hour.” After a general reply to the statements of Senator Sherman and other republican Sen- ators, Senator Voorhees said: “At the prop- er time and in the proper way we will take care of the credit of the government.” Referring to the tariff question Senator Voorkees said: “i will say now that I am for a tariff bill to give revenue, and believe that when a proclamation ts made that we are for a tariY for revenue only, it means only the revenue to carry on business.’ Senator Hawiey followed’ Mr. Voorhees, and said that if the Senator from indiana was to feel hurt at the slight strictu-es that had been made on the democratic pol- icy, he wanted to give him notice that it is only a tuste of what he will get within the next three months. “There will be no want of reciprocity in { | \ ' j “Unlimited by a purpose?” tor Daniel. la) into executive session, and at 5:25 adjourn- ed. —_——_—_-e-_____ Wants the National Regatta. ‘The committee to arrange the details for the people's regatta at Philadelphia on the Fourth of July met yesterday and appointed a committee to confer with the national committee regarding the advisability of holding the national regatta there at the time the peopie’s races are rowed and hay- ing three days of racing on the Schuylkill river. —_—_—_— Salvation Oli cures toothache and earache. | as a consequence he is thoroughly fam’ | discreet. BENHAM AND HIS FLEET. The Ships nd the Men Representing Uncle Sam at Rio. Rear Admiral A. E. K. Benham, com- manding the United States forces at Rio, who has sprung into prominence through reeent happenings at that troublesome port, will end his active career in the navy April 10 next, when he reaches the retiring age of sixty-two years. His record is a good one and grows brighter as it draws to a close. His conception of his duty at Rio seems to have met with popular favor, and, if suc- cessful, will make a fitting climax to a creditable career. He is a native of New York, and has been in the navy since No- vember 24, 1847, when he became a mid- shipman. He served four years in the East India squadron and subsequently saw serv- ice in the Pacific and in Brazilian waters, He served throughout the civil war with credit and knows a thing or two about real fighting. He was on the Bienville at the battle of Port Royal and was afterward tached to the gunboat Penobscot. He tained the rank of rear admiral in Febru- ary, 1890, and in the following year was as- signed to the command of the South At- lantic station. Subsequently he commanded the United States fieet at the Columbian celebration at Genoa, Italy, Spain. In December last, while in com- mand of the North. Atlantic station, he was ordered to proceed in his flagship San Fran- cisco, then at Trinidad, West Indies, to Rio and assume command of the United States fleet in that harbor, relieving Capt. Picking of the Chari4ston, who had been in charge sincé the detachment of Admiral Stanton. He arrived at Rio January 12, and has been a very busy map ever since. According to naval authority there is no better man for the responsible place he holds than Benham, He has had experi- | |ence. He is noted in the navy for his cour- age, and at the same time for his ability to keep within bounds. People about the Navy Department say there will be no tomfoolery about any ac- tion which Benham may take. He will do nothing theatrical, and when the occasion | demands force he will not make a mere | parade of his fleet and fire off a few blank | cartridges, He has at his command the | most formidable fleet that the United | States has gathered at a foreign port in| many years. It includes the New York, under command of Capt. J. W. Philip, and flagship of the station; the San Francisco, commanded by Capt. J. C. Watson; the Newark, commanded by Capt. Silas Terry; the Detroit, in command of Commander W. H. Brownson, and the Charleston, com- manded by Capt. H. F. Picking. These vessels are all of the new navy. They are commanded by experienced officers, each anxious for an opportunity to do something to distinguish himself and his command. The cruiser Detroit, which is the smallest | vessel in the fleet, enjoys the distinction | of being the first vessel of the navy that | has fired a hostile shot since the civil war. . The Cruiser Detroit. The Detroit is 257 feet in length, with 37 feet of 141-2 feet, Her rig is that of a two- masted schooner, spreading 6,289 square feet of canvas. She is capable of steaming almost 10,000 miles at a speed of ten knots per hour. The armament ts eight four-inch and two six-inch rapid-fire breech-loading rifies, the first of the type that nave been designed. |The larger caliber guns are mounted on central pivot carriages, one forward and the other aft; the smaller thirty-six pound- ers are in sponsons, four on each side. The | secondary battery is composed of ten rapid- fire six and three-pounders and revolving | cannon. Six torpedo ports are fitted. | She has no armor whatever, and the’! only protection she has outside of such | as her coal affords and her conning tower | is a light steel deck. This deck is eleven- sixteenths of an inch thick on the slopes, | nine-sixteenths on the level over the ma-| chinery, and six-sixteenths at each end. Officers of the Detroit. Commander Brownson, commanding the Detroit, is said to be a man of excellent judgment and not likely to do anything for which the United States government will find itself forced to take the back track. He is a good officer, a strict disciplinarian and is possessed of a coolness in time of excitement far in advance of the average naval officer, It is said of him that he may be relied upon to do the right thing at the right time in the right way. His first lieutenant, Lieut. Thos. C. McLean, is a man of some- what the same kidney with his command-| ing officer. In case, of trouble he will be) just the man to be the second in command under such a captain as Brownson. Lieut. S. W. B. Diehl, another officer of the De- troit, is well known in Washington, and bas made a good many additions to the scientific literature of the day. Lieut. Miles C. Gorgas, another officer, comes of an old naval family, and is the son of the well-known Medical Director Albert C. Gorgas, United States navy. The chief engineer of the ship is Mr. George W. Roche, who has been attaced to the shig since her keel was laid at Baltimore, and with the minutest details of her construc- tion and machinery. Taken as a whole if is evident that Commander Brownson has under his command just the set of officers to render a good account of themselves when the time comes for them to do so. ‘The Fighting Force. The Detroit, which had the post of honor in the recent display of force, is, however, quite puny when compared with the New | | York, the great armored cruiser, and the three protected cruisers,Newark, San Fran- cisco and Charleston, which are almost of the same tonnage, the two former being 4,083, and the Charleston 4,040 tons. The | New York, however, looms up as the giant | of all, being an armored cruiser of 8,150 tens, four times the displacement of the Detroit and four times as formidable, so that the rebels, in backing down, were quite The New York has a speed of 20 knots, and its armament consists of six 8-Inch breech-loading rifles, twelve 4-inch rapid-fire breech-loading rifles, eight 6- pounders, four 1-pounder rapid-fire guns,and four Gatlings. She cost $2,185,000, ‘The protected cruisers are almost as for- midable. The Newark and San Francisco are twin ships, and have a similar arma- ment, which consists of twelve 6-inch | breech-loading rifles. four 6-pounders, four | 3-pounders, two 1-pounder rapid-fire guns, four Gatlings and three modern machine guns. The Charleston's armament consists | of two S-inch, six 6-inch breech-loading | rifles, four G-pounders, two 3-pounders, two 1-pounder rapid-fire guns, two Gatlings and four machine guns. The Insurgent Fleet. The insurgent fleet, at last accounts, had | five ships at Rio—the Republica, an tron- clad, having left thai port with the deposed Mello, the naval commander who conducted the insurgent warfare during the early months of the conflict. The remaining vos- sels are the famous Aquidaban, the only ship of efficiency at Rio, a modern battle ship of 5,000 tons displacement; the Tra- jano and the Guanabara, two cruisers of less than 2,000 tons displacement; the Ba- hia, an ironclad of 900 tons displacement, and the Admiral Tamandare, a vessel of 4,735 tons. There are, in addition, four or five merchant ships, of no account in time ot battle. ‘The Brazilian corvette Guanabara would not long have remained afloat if she Lad received a broadside from’ the American man-of-war. She was built in Brazil, and is a wooden vessel of 1,900 tons dispiace- ment, is 200 feet in length, and has eugines of 3,000 horsepower. Her armament at ts of nine 70-pound Whit- nd six machine guns. In No- vember, 18), the Guanabara paid a visit to American waters, in company with the Aquidaban, and for some time lay at an- chor in the North River at New York. The Foreign Ships. The foreign ships, beside the American fleet, at Rio de Janeiro, number ten at the last report received at the office of naval intelligence. The coming and going of European ships are not as closely noted as are the movements of Brazilian vessels, but there are today probably not more than the latest report received indicates. The British gavernment is represented by three vessels, atl crutsers. The Itallan oy ernment is represented by a similar number, two cruisers and one gun vessel. The G mans have two cruisers at Rio de Janeiro, the French one cruiser and the Portuguese one cruiser. Hits Co teral Forfeited. The warrant issued from the Police Court against Edwin H. Koss, the druggist, corner of 7th street and Florida ave- nue, charging him with a violation of law in connection with the sale of some mor- phine to Julius Fabry, an old soldier, who died from the effects of a dose of the drug, as published In The Star, was returned to the Police Court yesterday and the defendant forfeited $25 collateral breadth of beam and a draught | | allowance.

The people of this city have done well in | the matter of donating money, food and- clothing for the relief of the poor and needy, | and while so much good work has already been done, there is a large field ahead and the members of the relief committee are still looking for additional contributions. The donations of clothing have by far e ceeded the anticipations of many persons engaged in the charitable work. What is badly needed now is money and groceries. There is a great demand for food and fuel, although the applications for shoes are numerous, as are also those for clothing. Ten wagon loads of clothing and groceries were sent out to the police stations and Associated Charities. All the precincts ex- cept the first have sent for these supplies, Lieut. Amiss of the first precinct reporting that most of his constitueats were able to Support themselves, The only thing he has | received from the central relief committee | was a bartel of vegetables. ‘Two loads of | the goods were sent to the Associated Char- | ities. After these goods had all been as- | sorted and delivered, the wagons of Messrs. Woodward and Lothrop began to arrive | with additional donations, and before the ice ‘or the ni Boods there to fill a railroad car Ne | Groceries were extremely scarce, but clothing was plentiful. Three barrels of | hominy and a tub of butterine were re-{ ceived from the original pure food exhibi- tion, while M. F. Moran of Georgetown sent | 350 bread tickets. The clothing was mostly in good condition, some of it being new! goods direct from the stores. Among them | were Several plush coats of old patterns and some underciothing that had never been unpacked. Messrs. F. J. Donnelly and Thos. Mack were in charge of this part of the work, and they were kept busy assorting them for distribution. Among the early callers was a@ young man on whose face was several days’ growth of red beard, and whose cloth- ing presented the appearance of his having been caught in @ cyclone. He said that he} was a stranger in the city, had spent last | night in the municipal lodging house, and the fumes of sulphur thro which his clothing had not been blown! away by the wind. He was feeling good) after a hot breakfast. He was modest in his request for assistance, as he only asked | for a pair of shoes to replace the remnants | of some cast off pieces of leather which were held together by what was once the lining of a pair of russet shoes. A pair of shoes almost equal to new were taken from the pile of second-hand foot gear behind the counter and given him, His trousers and other garments re- sembled his shoes to the extent that those. in charge Gecided to give him a compiete— outfit, and the poor man was made happy. | Ordinarily goods are not given out at this pl.ce to any great extent, and the young | man Was told not to tell his companions on! the road whom he might meet, and he promised that he would not, saying he in- tended going to Baltimore today. No Underclothes On. Next came a resident, a poor man who! was without even a pair of drawers or un- dershirt to protect him from the cold. He had made application to a member of the | committee for a share of the donations | and a shirt and pair of drawers was rere | that bad never been worn, and Mr. Mack, | who was in charge of the distribution, | asked if he did not want a collar to wear, as he had none. ‘I do that,” was his response. “And if you don’t mind I'll take a necktie with it.” His request was granted. Among the contributions received yester- day was a package of pictures left by a child, who asked that they be given to some sick child whose parents were unable to give it any luxuries, and a sick child was found and made happy. What the committee is endeavoring to guard ‘against is being imposed upon by a class of men who would rather get a glass of .iguor than an article of clothing. as in several cases the goods given applicants have been disposed of at second-had stores. Yesterday a new racket was started among some of the “knights of the road,” in the matter of getting shoes. They ap- peared wearing old shoes and would ask for new ones and later some other person would appear with the old shoes worn by the other applicant and want to trule. The result is that each nan who appears is closely questioned and no trading is done, for those in charge are satisfied that some shoes obtained in this way have not been put to preper use. Mr. Sylvester today received $42.50 from a division in the pension office and with it was a note directing that it be expended under the direction of Maj. Moore. A bun- dle of clothing from the pension was also received. eee THE INTERNAL REVENUE BILL. , It is Placed as a Rider Upon the Tarif® ni ‘The internal revenue bill was placed as a rider upon the tariff bill yesterday after- noon by a vote of 175 to 44. The entire day was spent in the consideration of amend- ments which were offered to the various internal revenue features. The principal | fight came upon the proposal to increase the tax upon whisky from ‘™) cents to $1 and ex- tend the bonded pericd from three to eight years. These provisions, especially the one looking to an increase of the bonded period, were bitterly opposed by prominent mem- bers upon both sides of the House, and de- spite the heroic opposition of the Kentucky members, the latter proposition—that ts, the one to increase the bonded period to eight years—was striken out, while the increase of the tax from 90 cents to $1 was allowed to stand. The Kentucky members say that | this will bring ruin and disaster to the whis- ky interests of their state. Kentucky alone has over 85,000,000 gallons of whisky now in bond, upon which the tax will be increased without giving them the benefit of an ex- tension of the bonded period. Only one oth- er amendment of importance to the internal revenne features of the Dill was carried. it was a provision to extend the operation of the income tax to all moneys and per- sonal property given or bequeathed by in- heritance. This, it is estimated, will in- crease the revenue from the income tax about three millions per annum. Had it been in effect when Jay Gould died, the estate would have been taxed $1,400,0% After the dispesal of the internal revenue amendments, a row occurred over the four amendments to the barley schedule, which were pending last Saturday, and by dint of maneuvering, Mr. Lockwood, who is oppos- ing them, managed to stave off a vote until the hour of recess arrived. ~o——_____ ONLY THREE DAYS MORE. The Pure Food Exposition and Its At- tractive Features Nenring the Clone, The food exposition has but three days longer to run, and the interest in it cén- tinues to increase as it draws to a close. ‘The attendance has been large at all times, but last night there was a merry crowd that stood around the various booths, sam- pling the viands that were so freely dis- pensed, and good-naturedly submitting to be pushed and jostled. This afternoon Mrs. Rorer lectured on “Breakfast Dishes,” and demonstrated that she was as thoroughly at home in the do- main of the preparation of ‘every-day ar- ticles of food as in the more elaborate field of fancy dishes and desserts. The menus she prepared consisted of oatmeal, corn- meal mush, hashed brown “potatoes, fricas- werenied beef, Peauregard eggs, and ome- jettes. | Tomorrow she jectures on “What to Cook | in a Chafing Dish,” and will close her series of discourses in this city on the following | day with two lectures, morning and after. | i \ noon.

James Anderson of Indiana, a messenger in the United States treasurer's office, has fallen into disgrace through an overpower- ing desire to porsess some of the govern- ment’s silver dollars. It was one af Ander- son’s duties to show visitors through the money vaults of the treasury, and while performing this duty he became thor ovgly acquainted with the place. One of the boxes containing the bags of silver dollars was sifghtly defective and the young man managed to get a sharp instru- ment through the opening and cut a slit in one of the bags. He then put his finger in and took ovt the shining dollars. Re | Was caught yesterday by means of some marked coins placed in the bag.
