2 scends to the plane of his colleagues.” (Democratic applause.) “We did not submit the rule to the gen- tleman from Maine” (Mr. Boutelle), con- tinued Mr. Catchings, “because we knew im advance that it would only give free vein to his fantasy and bedlamite gyrations on this floor. Mr. Catchings Called to Order. “I cail the gentleman to order,” shouted Mr. Boutelle, jumping to his feet, “and I ask that his words be taken down.” Mr. Outhwaite made some remark which called forth from Mr. Boutelle the observa- tion that he wouldn’t take Mr. Outhwaite’s Judgment in a horse case: “You are making a beautiful exhibition of yourself, ain’t you?” reiterated Mr. Outh- waite. By this time the members were pushing down the aisle and crowding about the belligerents. There was a streak of humor in the excitement. According to the rule the words objected to were read from the clerk's desk and created a great laugh. Mr. Boutelle seemed discomfited. Mr. McMillin moved that Mr. Catchings be allowed to proceed in order. On a rising vote it was carried, 157-21, many repub- licans in the affirmative. Mr. Boutelle made the point of “no quorum.” “There is no quorum to approve of that sort of thing.” said he, angrily. Subse- quently, however, at the request of his friends, he withdrew his point of order, and Mr. Catchings was allowed to proceed. He had hardly said a dozen words, how- = before Mr. Boutelle was again on his feet. Mr. Catchings Again Called to Order. “TI have no unkind feeling toward the gen- tleman from Maine,” said Mr. Catchings. “In common with many others, I have al- ways considered that he was afflicted with a@ harmless mania for making on all occa- sions an exhibition of himself.” “I call the gentleman to order,” inter- posed Mr. Boutelle, “and demand that his Words be taken down. The gentleman's/ words are unparliamentary. He knows he| must avoid personalities on the floor. I ask | for a ruling of the chair.” ‘The rule was again read. After some wrangle over the course of procedure Mr. Catchings was permitted to explain under the rule. As he began Mr. Boutelle at- tempted to interrupt him, but the Speaker after some heavy raps of the gavel sharply ordered him to take his seat. “I can truly say.” began Mr. Catchings, “that during my term of service here of ten years I have never uttered a word that could cause complaint unless what I have said today could be construed as offensiv: Mr. Catchings then — a ype semen speech, saying that the democratic victory of yesterday made him very amaible. He was particularly sarcastic in his references to Mr. Boutelle and the latter’s war record, closing with these words: “I have observed that the gentlemen who boasted of the most prowess were the least harmless. (Laughter.) I never deal in personalities, nor impugn men’s motives here. It is con-) ducive neither to good fellowship nor good manners.” The Incident Closed. “If the gentleman is going to discuss | me,” interposed Mr. Boutelle at this point, | “I want to have something to say, and I) will have something to say.” Mr. Bou-| telle’s suggestion was ignored. The House | voted to permit Mr. Catchings to proceed | in order, and the incident closed. Mr. Catchings then explained the pro- posed rule. Mr. Burrows made the point that the rule closed debate at 4 o'clock Monday on the majority Hawaiian report, but left the debate on the minority report open to un- limited debate and filibuster. Mr. Outhwaite of the rules committee answered that the rule was in response to the well-understood desire of the House as to what length of time should be given to the Hawaiian question. In answer to Mr. Hitt the Speaker said that if the rule was adopted the minority would have the right to offer a substitute and make amendments before the vote was taken on Monday. The rule was then adopted. Thanks to Mr. Richardson. | On motion of Mr. Morse (Mass.) the | j thanks of the House were extended to Mr. Richardson of Tennessee for the able and impartial manner in which he served #8 chairman of the House committee of the whole during the long tariff debate. The resolution was unanimously passed and evoked applause from both sides of the House. At this point the President's message, transmitting the latest Hawaiian corre- spondence, was submitted to the House, and on request, was read by the clerk. As _the reading closed Mr. Boutelle asked if President Dole’s letter in reply to Min- ister Willis was included. On receiving a negative answer, Mr. Boutelle said: “I un- derstard the Dole letter has been received in_the city.” Mr. McCreary, chairman of the commit-| tee- on foreign affairs, then had read the} Majority resolutioa cordemning the action | of Minister Stevens, and Mr. Hitt had read | the minority report condemning the restora- tion of the queen. Mr. McCreary Opens the Debate. Mr.-McCreary then began the opening speech of the Hawaiian debate. The sub- ject appeared to have little interest for the House, and few members remained. Mr. McCreary expressed regret that so much | partisanship had been aroused on a question of international comity. It was a question | involving the dignity of the government and | should be treated impartially and without party bias. He denied the allegations of) fact set forth in the minority resolution. He said that this and other minority reso- Tutions were mere subterfuge to cover up the antecedent facts concerning the manner | in which the Hawaiian revolution was} brought about. The republicans of the House had changed | front three times since this Hawaiian ques- tion was opened. But in all the discus- sion not a minority member of the foreign affairs committee had been willing to sup- Fort the position of the last administration in presenting a treaty annexing Hawaii. Mr. Blair (N. H.) interrupted with the suggestion that he had a resolution which was designed to meet the objection of Mr. McCreary, that the last administration was not sustained by the minority. Criticising Mr. Stevens. Mr. McCreary proceeded to criticise the course of Minister Stevens. The executive papers showed that Stevens had illegally aided in bringing on a revolution and ov: throwing the existing government. The ac- tion of the minister presented a chapter in our history which was without a parallel. Hawaii was one of the family of nations when this intrusion occurred. An English admiral had once seized the Hawaiian Islands, but the British govern- ment had restored the legal authorities of the islands. He went on to recite in detail the story of the revolution. When he spoke of the promulgation of the new constitution, by | the placing of Henry Wolfert’s name on | Spring and summer.

Rear Admirals to Retire. The question as to who shall succeed Rear Admiral John Irwin in command of the Pacific station has been settled by the selection of Commodore Wm. A. Kirkland for that duty. He will releave Admiral Irwin at Honolulu, and will sail from San Francisco on the 17th instant for that pur- pose. Admiral Irwin will be placed on the retired list April 15 by operation of law, on account of age, and the short time inter- vening made it necessary to provide for his succession at once. On the 10th of April next Rear Admiral A. E. K. Benham, whose gallant conduct at Rio is now so generally commen ied, will also retire by the operation of law. An order will be issued in a short time detach- img him from the command of the South Auantic station, which includes the fleet mow in Rio harbor. Admiral Benham will be succeeded by Admiral Stanion, who was detached from the South Atlantic command for saluting Admiral Mello at Rio. The two admirals changed places a few months ago, Admiral Stanton taking | command of the North Atlantic station. | The detachment of Admiral Benham will be preliminary to his retirement. es +e -_____. ‘The Tariff Bill. | The engrossed copy of the tariff bill is Bow being compared by the House clerks, and it is expected that it will be trans-| mitted to the Senate about 2 o'clock, where | Senator Voorhees wil} probably ask that it | be referred to finance committee.

THE EVENING STAR, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 2, 1894-TWELVE PAGES. LATE NEWS BY WIRE,|°'scuss The Dispute in the New York Senate. THE SEATING OF: WOLFER? ENJOINED The , Clesk Refuses to Call His Name. SAXTON ASSUMES THE LEAD ALBANY, N. Y., Feb. 2—The members of the state senate continued today the row that was begun at last evening’s ses- sion, over the contested election case of Henry Wolfert, republican, against Senator McCarthy, who is one of the right hand men of Hugh McLaughlin, the Brooklyn democratic leader. The republicans, who are in the majority, decided several days ago to unseat Mc- Carthy on the ground that his alleged ma- jority in the last election was gained by fraudulent votes at Gravesend (John Y. McKane's district) and elsewhere. Last night Lieut. Gov. Sheehin refused to put the vote on the report of the repub- Hean_ majority of the elections committee, and Senator Saxton, the leader of the re- publicans, called upon the clerk, Mr. Ken- yon, to do so. The clerk did as bidden, and amid a great uproar declared the report adopted, and McCarthy unseated. This morning an injunction granted by Judge Clute of Albany county forbidding | the roll of the senate. The reason given for the injunction was that the clerk had usurped the powers of the presiding officer. At tais morning's session of the Senate, a roll call was ordered by the republican ma- jority, but the clerk refused to obey on the ground that the injunction forbade him to call the name of Wolfert. Lieut. Gov. Sheehan, presiding, also re- fused to call the roll and Senator Saxton thereupon assumed the responsibility, and in spite of the protests of the democrats, called Wolfert’s name. The senate then adjourned until Monday. > BISHOP HALL CONSECRATED. Ceremony at Burlington, Vt., Witness- ed by Well-Known Churchmen. BURLINGTON, Vt., Feb. 2.—An event fraught with interest to the Protestant Episcopal churches throughout the United | States and England was the consecration of the Rev. Dr. Arthur C. A. Hall, D.D.. bishop of the diocese of Vermont, whic! took place in St. Paul's Chuch at M1 o'clock | this morning. This imposing ceremony was witnessed by distinguished men of the church from all parts of the United States and Canada. | The consecrators were Bishops Neely of Maine, Niles of New Hampshire and Law- rence of Massachusetts. The presentors were Bishops Grafton of Fon Du Lac and Coleman of Delaware. The attending pres- byters were Kev. Dr. J. Isham Bliss of the diocese of Vermont and the Rev.

The Brooklyn Divine Will Shortly Start to Circle the Globe. NEW YORK, Feb. 2—It was announced today that the Rev.Dr. Talmage, the Brook- lyn preacher, has completed arrangements for a tour of the world during the coming gram, Dr. Talmage will go overland to San Francisco and will sail from that port the last week in May, taking the steamer to the Hawaiian Islands. He will also visit New Zealand, Australia, China and India in the east. In China a large portion of his time will be spent in Amoy, where his brother, the late Rev. Dr. John Talmage, was for forty- two years a missionary. The daughters are well-known missionaries, still live in Amoy and continue the work their father began. The journey homeward will be made from Ceylon, through Europe, and across the Adlantic. Dr. Talmage will be accompanied by his about five months. The extended trip through Asia and Europe has no connec- tion with the present crisis in the affairs of his church. It was practically determin- | ed upon in 1892, when he was in Russia. It | is his intention to preach and lecture in every place he visits while he is away. — GEN. HARRISON’S LECTURES. He Will Leave in Two Weeks for Cali- fornia, INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., Feb. 2—Ex-Presi- dent Harrison is making active prepera- tions for his trip to California, where he is | to deliver the first of his lectures before | the students of Leland Stanford, jr., Uni-| versity. He will start in about two weeks. | He will be accompanied by his daughter, Mrs. McKee, and her family, and his private secretary. Speaking of his coming trip last night, Gen. Harrison said: “We shall be in Cali- fornia about six weeks. I cannot possibly | Say as to the exact number of lectures that | I shall jeliver. They will be upon the| broad subject of constitutional law, which | subject embraces so large a field that I| cannot pretend to do it justice in so short | @ space of time, as each of the many spe- citic questions involved would necessarily | have to be tweated so briefly as to be scarcely comprehensive.” Gen. Harrison was asked whether or not he would return to the university next year and complete the course or continue it, and he replied: “Well, I cannot say positively at present, but it is possible that I shail; but no arrangements have as yet been perfected to this end; this will be de- termined later. I have been engaged very actively for some time upon the preparation | of the lectures, which have not as yet heen | divided into any certain number, and it is| on this account that I cannot state as to the exact number of lectures that I shall) deliver. The matter is now in the shape of | one continuous discussion, which can be/| separated by topics or divisions, as the | circumstances demand. The lines of thought carried out or the treatment of the subject | I would of course not care about discussi:g, as it would not be in any sense advisable.” | a WILL BE A STOUT STRUGGLE. Cripple Creek Miners Refuse to Ac- CRIPPLE CREEK, Col., Feb. 2—At the present time the Zenobla, Pharmacist, Vic- tor, Summit, Legal Tender, Isabella and Little May mines have all been closed. | About 250 miners went to the Victor y: terday morning and prevented any of the men from going to work. No resistance was made and all work was suspended. A miners’ meeting will be held Sunday next to discuss the trouble. D. H. Moffat, president and owner of the Victor, says the*miners are very unreason- able in their demands. “We pay $3 for nine hours’ work,” said | he, “while at other mountain camps they work in wet mines and get only $2.50 for | a day of ten hours.

Wheeler died at four o'clock this morning at his residence here. Mr. Wheeler, who was president of the American District Telegraph Company, had been il: for sume | weeks, and fira'!y succumbed to heart| lisease. | Mr. Wheeler was born at Colchester, Conn., in 1837 and moved to Brooklyn in 1847. He was for many years in the employ of A. T. Stewart, in New York and Chicago. He became president of the American Dis- trict Telegraph Company in 1878, | acted as surgeon on the Wordsworth on ac- | ment of those on board, the daily fighting ING THE BONDS The Senate Occupied With Two Resolu- tions on the Subject. Mr. Peffer’s in Regard to the Names Bidders Finally Adopted—Stewart and Vilas Talk. A joint resolution authorizing the Secre- tary of the Treasury to provide suitable boxes or cases for the bronze medals award- ed exhibitors at the world’s Columbian ex- hibition was reported by Senator Vilas and Passed by the Senate. Senator Quay (Pa.) presented an amend- ment embodying several new sections to the tariff bill, These sections provide for the free coinage of silver and for the pur- chase of 145,000 ounces monthly, and the issue of treasury notes in payment there- for, and the repeal of all existing laws pro- viding for the issue of bonds. The resolution of Senator Peffer, calling upon the Secretary of the Treasury to in- form the Senate how many bids for bonds have been received from persons and cor- porations and the names of the bidders, then came up for consideration. Not Custom to Give Names, “It has never been the custom,” said Sen- ator Sherman,” to give the names of the in- dividuals who make the offers. To do so might be injurious to the public credit.” “I want the names,” persisted Senator Peffer. “If it is not proper to give them let the Senate say so. “What reason exists here why the names of the bidders shall not be given?” inquired Senator Allen (Neb.). “In the first place,” replied Senator Sher- man, “because the request has never been made. The second reason is that it is not good policy to disclose the private affairs and business operations of private citizens. I have no objections to the names of cor- porations who have made offers being called for, although I doubt the expediency even of that.” Senator Harris (Tenn.) could see no rea- son why the names of persons could be of any interest to the Senate. The suggestion was made by Senator Stewart (Nev.) that the names of original purchasers might be very important if the validity of these bonds should later be ques- tioned when they are presented for pay- ment. Senator Washburn failed to see any util- ity in or objection to the information re- quested by the resolution. Mr. Peffer’s Belief. In answer to his opponents Senator Peffer said he firmly believed that the financial affairs of government are not managed by he government officers, but by speculators in New York city. Senator Cockreli declared to Senator Stewart that the time would never come when the question of refusing to pay these bonds would be raised. After further discussion, Senator Sherman withdrew his motion to strike out, and the resolution was adopted without amend- ments. Senator Stewart's Bond Resolution. The resolution of Senator Stewart, deny- ing the authority of the Secretary of the Treasury to issue United States bonds at this time, came up in regular order, with the various amendments providing that “the money derived from the sale of such bonds cannot be lawfully applied for any other purpose than the purpose of redemption.” To this amendment Senator Vilas presented the foliowing amendment: “Except in ac- cordance with such acts of appropriation by Congress as may require the use of the same to discharge such appropriations.” in speaking on the Stewart resolution Senator Vilas complained that ‘ts introduc- tion had been delayed until the last hour, when it came as a blow at the public credit. He argued that the resumption act not only required the Secretary of the Treas- ury to be ready, in the first instance, to redeem greenbacks, but to be thereafter always ready to redeem them. The re- deemability and the convertibility of the greenbacks was to be ever continuing and “Senator Vis continued his speech on th bond issue, ‘the election bill, at 2 o'clock, being laid aside for that purpose. — HAD TO SLEEP ON COBBLE STONES. Harsh Treatment of Sailors in the Pernambuco Barracks. QUARANTINE, Feb. 2.—The steamer Wordsworth, Capt. Harbie, arrived last night from Rio and Pernambuco and an- chored on the bar until this morning. She has as passengers forty-two men from the Brazilian cruiser, America, and four from the Nictheroy. The men almost with- out exception complained of their treat- ment at Pernambuco, but said that while on board the cruiser they were treated very well. At Pernambuco, all hands were sent on shore to the government barracks and the enly place they had to sleep was the hard cobblestone paving in the barracks yard. Some of the officers were put up at hotels and their board paid. All hands expressed a desire to go to Brazil with another cruiser in case she fitted out. The impression was current on board the Wordsworth that another Brazilian cruiser was being fitted out in New York for ser- vice at Rio Janeiro. Anicng the passengers in the cabin were Navigator Dillon, Surgeon Randall, ‘steel count of the illness of Dr. Poliart, the reg- ular ship's doctor; Chief Engineer Coleman, First Assistant Albinsan, Chief Steward Packard, Executive Officer O’Haloran and Lieuts. Russell, Blount and Dalton of the America and Nictheroy. The Officers’ Story. The officers’ story differs from that told by the men. They say that the stories of | ill treatment are not true, and that the men were treated quite well. While at Rio the Wordsworth was anchored between Enchados Island and the mainland. For five weeks, according to the state- between the ships, launches and shore was source of amusement fo- all on board the merchantmen in the harbor. One day while at Rio a very spirited duel took place between the forces posted behind the barricade on shore and two tugs be- longing to the insurgent fleet, for nearly two hours the tugs keeping up a_consrant fire on the government troops, and in spite of the dangerous position they occupied escaped without the loss of a man. After- ward one of the boats called the Lucy re- turned to the fight and lost three men. It is said that the courage and daring ex- hibited by the rebels on this occasion was grand. As far as could be learned, the popular feeling is about equally divided between Mello and Peixoto. At Pernambuco Mello is a strong favorite. During the voyage of the Wordsworth one sailor and three stewards fell ill of a mild attack of yeilow fever,but quickly recovered and went about their usual duties. For a few days Dr. Poliant, too, was a sufferer from the same trouble, but quickly recov- ) ered. It was for this reason that Dr. Ran- dall, late surgeon of the America, acted in that capacity on board the Wordsworth. Other Advices. The bark Mannie Swan, Capt. Higgins, twenty-nine days from Pernambuco, re- ports that she lay fifty-three days at Per- nambuco discharging and reloading. There was no fighting of any description, except at the time of the execution of several officers of the gunboat Parahyba, who were suspected of sympathy with Mello. The city of Pernambuco was under mar- tial law. A strong feeling prevailed in favor of Mello, but when Da Gama issued his now famous manifesto, announcing mon- archial sentiments, a decided reversal of feeling was noticed, which was only par- tially stayed when Da Gama issued his corrected proclamation. precanansee = aaa THE ROPE WAS LACKING. All That Saved Tom Dorsey From Being Hanged. ST. LOUIS, Mo., Feb. 2—Tom Dorsey, a worthless tramp, Wednesday seized the fourteen-year-old daughter of Henry Kru- ger, a farmer ten miles north of the city, and attempted criminal assault. Her cries were heard and Dorsey fied. The whole neighborhcod was soon in chase and the villian was overtaken near James- town. Constable Garrett heard of the af- fair, and with a posse went to the scene. The enraged farmers had decided to hang Dorsey and were waiting for a rope when the constable arrived. After a parley the prisoner was surrendered to the officers. TOMORROW’S BIG STAR. Some of the Features of Unusual In- terest to Re Found in It.

It is Probably Killed for This Sessto at Least. The effort to repeal the tax on state bank circulations was beaten in the committee on banking today by a vote of 8 yeas to 9 nays. The vote was taken on the bill of Representative Cox (Tenn.), which relieves e banks from any tax on their circula- tion, but does not extend the relief to cir- | culation issued by private individuals or corporations. The result is regarded as cutting off the possibility of favorable state bank legisla- tion in the present Congress. After taking the adverse vote motions were carried to reconsider and then to lay on the table, which permanently disposes of the bill. The vote in detail was as follow: the bill—Cox, Tennessee; Cobb, Al: Hall, Missouri; Ellis, Kentuck; 5 Ohio; Cobb, Missouri; Black, Georgia, and Culberson, Texas, all democrats. Agait-st the bill—Springer, Illinois; Sperry, Cennecticut; Warner, New York; demo- erats, and Johnson, Indiana; Brosius, Penn- sylvaria; Walker, Massachusetts; Kussell, Connecticut; Henderson, — Illinois, _and Havgen, Wisconsin, republicans. The favorable votes of Johnson of Unio and Cobb of Missouri were given with the reservation that they would vote. .ageinst the bill on the floor of the House. The ad- verse votes of Springer and Sperry and of all the republicans were against the state bank principle, but that of Mr. Warner was againsi the form of the Cox bill and with the reservation that he would urge a state bank bill of his own. A second vote was taken on a motion to reconsider the motion to lay on the table. This time the lines were differently drawn, although the result was the same—¥ to 8. Ayes—Sperry, Culberson, Walker, Bro- sius, Henderson, Russell, Haugen, John- son (Ind.), Springer. Nays—Cox, Cobb (Mo.), Cobb (Ala.), Ellis, Warner, Johnson (Ohio), Black, Hall. This action leaves the bill before the com- mittee, although it is extremely doubtful whether it will ever be taken up again. Mr. Warner says that his new bill will be designed to secure speedy repeal, and with it an elastic currency. Several other bills to secure repeal of state bank tax, with various limitations, are before the committee, but may not be taken up. Chairman Springer of the committee said concerning the vote: “I do not regard it as finally disposing of the state bank ques- tion. It will gct before the House in one form or another. A movement is already on foot to introduce it as an amendment to the Brawley bill, which gives special re- lief from the tax on circulations issued last fall during the money stringency. It would be entirely in order to make the general state bank proposition an amendment to the Brawley bill, which is already favora- bly reported.” the Cox “The Representative Cox, author of state bank tax repeal bill, said: friends of state banks are as determined as ever to get the question before the House. What further will be done in com- mittee I cannot say, but steps are sure to be taken by which the House will be given an opportunity to pass on this important question.” It {s understood that Mr. Culberson is | services were held in the different local | 1; prepared to offer the state bank amend- ment to the Brawley bill.

RESIGNED HIS OFFICE The Brasilian Minister of War Leaves Peixoto. Reported Misfortunes of the Govern- ment—Contradictory Rumors About the Dynamite Cruiser Nictheroy. BUENOS AYRES, Feb. 2.—Dispatches re- ceived here today from Rio Janeiro say that the Brazilian minister of war has resigned after a somewhat excited interview with President Peixoto. ‘The cause of the resignation of the min- ister of war is said to have been the fact that he disagreed with President Peixoto as to the state of affairs in Brazil and that he protested strongly against the action of the president in prolonging the state of siege. The minister of war is said to have been in favor of a policy of conciliation, which, in his opinion, would end the disturbances in Brazil much sooner. The dispatches from Rio Janeiro also say that the government transport Itaipau, which recently arrived at Bahia, has joined issue with the insurgents and has succeeded in blockading that port. The dispatches further announce that the cruiser America, fitted out in New York, is useless, on account of the fact that she has no crew to work her, owing to the failure of the Brazilian government officials to a rive at an understanding with her Ameri can officers and crew, and that the latter will not fight her on account of these disa- greements. It is also stated that nearly all the Amer- icans are either ashore or going ashore, with the intention of returning to the United States as soon as possible. Concerning the dynamite cruiser Nicthe- roy, the dispatches received here from Rio | Janeiro announce that she has been dam- | aged to such an extent as to be practically useless until placed in the hands of skilled workmen, who will have to spend a con- siderable time upen her before she is again in fighting condition. |. The machine of the dynamite gun is said to be out of order, and it is believed that |this is the work @irectly or indirectly of friends of the insurgents, who, as already reported, have been busily at work with the crews of the ships arrived from New York, as well with the crews of the other ves- sels purchased by the government of Presi- dent Peixoto. ‘ Some doubt is thrown on these statements from Rio Janeiro by the fact that the dis- patches say, in addition, that the Nictheroy remains at Pernambuco, while previous dis- patches received here have announced the departure of the Nictheroy from Pernambu- co for Bahia, and the fact that Presiaent Peixoto had rendezvoused his new fleet at Bahia, previous to starting all his vexseis for Rio Janeiro with the intention of crush- ing out the insurgent fleet. No confirmation or denial of the report that the town of Nictheroy, in the bay of Rio Janeiro, has fallen into the hands of | the insurgents has received here up to | the time this dispatch 1s filed. ——>__ A DISTASTEFUL SUBJECT. Three Days Allotted to the Debate on the Hawaiian Matter. The democrats of the House today took ip the most distasteful and most dreaded fask Mr. Cleveland has set for them; that of advocating or excusing his Hawaiian Policy. There are very few men in Con- gress who honestly believe in Mr. Cleve- land's policy, and all are are sus to let go of the tar-baby queen, but find it irapossible | to get their fingers free. Even the mem- bers of the foreign affairs committee are j heartily sick of the job they have before them, and most of the democrats would like to be somewhere else while the debate is in progress. The matter opened up turbulently this morning, with Mr. Boutelle as the princi- |pal actor, he insisting on his resolution | being considered first as a question of privi- lege. When the previous question was or- dered on the resolution of the committee on rules, setting apart three days for the | consideration of the Hawaiian matter, Mr. |Catchings made some personal allusions to Mr. Boutelle’s peculiar characteristics |in debate, which aroused that gentleman's | indignation and led to the demand for the | Mississippian’s words to be taken down. | The House, however, ordered that Catch- | ings should be permitted to proceed, and he | immediately said something else which led |to another demand for his words to be | taken down. It _course the democrats will finally take with relation to this matter, but whatever is done the administration will get a most se- vere roasting in the debate. = DISTRICT GOVERNMENT. The Contagio Disense Hospital. city has caused a stir among the loca! au- thorities. All preparations are now being made by the District officials to successfully cope with this dread disease, and Dr. J. Ramsey Nevitt, the physician in charge of the Contagious Disease Hospital, has had several conferences with Health Officer Hammett on the subject. Yesterday Dr.Nev- itt made a thorough examination of the | hospital, with a view of putting it in con- dition for the reception of patients. He re- ports everyths: in readiness, and says he can accommuate fifty patients. Both of the large wards have been completed, with roof, and the cots have been overhauled a: will be put into position. Dr. Nevitt sa: he does not think the small pox will extend | to this city, but he believes in being ready. One License Granted.

Stocks Did Not Fall, as Was Ex- pected. WILSON BILL'S PASSAGE DISCOUNTED | Gossip About the Dividends of the Sugar Trust. GENERAL MARKET REPORTS. Special Dispatcb to The Evening Star. day’s stock market proved conclusively that the effects of both the tariff bill and the trials, especially in Sugar, but beyond a steadily, and in some instances surpassed yesterday’s best figures. A fractional ad- vance in the price of raw Sugar, due to heavy purchases by Canadian refiners, is expected to improve the price of refined be- fore the demand ceases. This fact, coupled with the nervousness of the shorts, served to hold Sugar fairly steady during the morning hours, even in the face of yester- day’s legislation. Authorities agree that the Senate will make no radical alterations in the tariff bill as sanctioned by the House, and that help from that quarter is now impossible. In view of this con-lition of things attention is now directed to the probable action of the stockholders at the meeting called for this month. A suspension of dividends pending the Senate's action is among the probabilities, but people familiar with the figures representing the company’s surplus are confident that dividends at the usual rate could be continued with sugar on the free list for the next two of three years. From present indications the market will drag along in its present listless fashion for some time to come. Traders are the only ones interested to all appearances and manipulation serves their purpose almost as well as the more substantial speculative motives. The selling movement in Western Union continyes to attract attention. The bears are assured beyond the possibility of & doubt that the dribbling out of small blocks of this stock, aggregating nearly 25,000 shares, within the last few weeks is the long holdings of inside interests, who are borrowing the stock merely to create the impression that it is short stock. Opinions differ on the subject, however, and parties closely identified with the company are equally positive that such is not the case and that inside interests are in no way a sociated with the recent decline. The market for sterling «xchange contin- ues firm on a moderate vo @ ne of business. The supply of cotton bills is still unusually small, and indications do not point to any improvement in this respect.

The observance of Candlemas Day is one of long standing, and seems to have been instituted as early as the first half of the fifth century.
