FOR SALE—AN UPRIGHT PIANO IN POLISHED NOT IN The Democratic Caucus Adjourns After a Few Speeches. Mr. Gorman Opposes the Tariff Bill— Opposition by Other Senators— Effects of the Caucus. The democratic caucus that has been blocking the wheels of senatorial legisla- tion for several days past adjourned yes- terday afternoon sine die, after having sent the tariff bill back to the finance commit- tee. In short, the “conservatives” have not carried their point, the “kick” has been of no avail, and the matter is left practically as it was when the call for the caucus was circulated last Thursday, when the bill was ready for report to the full committee. There were two things accomplished in the afternoon session of the caucus. One Was the taking of a vote on a proposition by Mr. Pugh to instruct the commitiee to place iron ore on the dutiable list at fifty cents a ton. This was defeated by a vote of 19 to 17, Mr, Hill not voting. Mr. Pugh stated that in view of the closeness of the vote, he would not hold himself bound by it, but would reserve the right to present an amendment in the open Senate and sup- port it with his vote and voice there. This was the signal for the breaking up of the caucus. A number of Senators declared that if Senators did not intend to abide by the votes of the caucus it was useless to attempt to take any more ballots, and after a short discussion, Mr. Voorhees presented a resolution, which, it is said, was drafted by Mr. Brice, and which was adopted with- out a division, to the effect that the caucus adjourn to meet at the call of the chair- man, with the understanding that the com- mittee should continue the work on the bill and report it as soon as possible. It is not certain just whether this resolution was intended to mean that the bill should be reported to the Senate from the com- mittee or to the caucus. The conserva- tives are inclined to think that the latter course was intended. Mr. Gorman Wants Protection. The afternoon session of the caucus was devoted almost exclusively to talk. Senator German made the principal speech of the afternoon. It was moderate and concilia- tory in tone. He said a great deal ebout the necessity of party harmony, and of get- ting a bill that would command the solid Support of the democratic party. He did not want the democrats to go before the country divided on this issue, which had been one of the great campaign issues of the party. He wanted the industries of the country protected, so as not to put Ameri- can jabor on a par with that of Europe. Coal, iron ore and all manufactured pro- ducts, he thought, should have some pro- tection, so that the party would be sure of holding what it had gained in the north. He was opposed to an extension of the ad valorem system, and believed that better results would be obtained by specific du- ties. Speaking for. his own state, he did not ask more for it than he was willing to concede to other states. He believed U:at the bill as it now stood discriminated against his state in favor of New England industries. He, and those who represented these states, felt that some changes should made and concessions granted to the men whose democracy could not be ques- tioned, and who felt that their states would suffer if the bill remained as it now stood. Senator Ransom spoke at some length and urged party harmony.

He thought it would be very Poor policy to change the work of the committee radically, and said that if once begun there would be no end to it. Senators Morgan and Pugh spoke for iron ore. The former made a very mod- erate speech, pointing out that free iron ore would mean the crippling of a grow- ing and important industry in his state. Senator Berry spoke in support of the bill as framed and thought this was no time to make changes. Not Defeated. Immediately after the adjournment of the caucus Senators Gorman, Brice, Hill, Smith, Murphy, Camden and one or two others who have been known to be very much opposed to the bill of the finance committee as it was prepared by the com- mittee, held a consultation, Senator Brice, who was one of the prime movers in the caucus, said later that the result could not be considered in the lignt of a defeat for those who were in- strumental in bringing about the caucus; went into it with not more than one- quarter or one-third of the democrats of the Senate in accord with them and came out on the only proposition upon which there was any test whatever about equally divided, and further that the men who had called the caucus adjourned it. The Ohio Senator claimed that a great deal had been accomplished in presenting to the committee the ideas and wishes of in- dividual Senators upon the tariff. He be- lieved it had been demonstrated to them that certain schedules in the bill did not meet the approval of a large number of Senators and in a more impressive manner than could have been done without the caucus. There had been a free and full hearing for every Senator, and that was a great deal more than many had been able to obtain. He said every democratic Sena- tor between now and the time when the bill is reported will be accorded a hearing by members of the finance committee. ——_- -- + e- —___—_. MR.

The minister is without any official information concerning the reported capture of Lapa by the insurgents. Lapa, the minister says, has always been loyal to the government. it is an important town In the state of Parana, and is about 300 miles southwest of Rio. The capture of this place would, of course, be an important one for the insur- gents, but the minister takes no stock in the report. There is a place called Rapa, which is in the northern point of Desterro Island, which may be the one referred to by Minister Thompson as having been report- ed to have been captured by the insurgents. This island has been in possession of the insurgents for some time, and is the place where they established a provisional gov- ernment last year. . IRREGULAR APPOINTMENTS, Regulations in Regard to Appoint- ments Violated at the Navy Yard. The investigation instituted by Secretary Herbert in December last into aileged vio- lations of the regulations in regard to ap- pointments at the Washington navy yard has closed. The result is shown in a letter written by the Secretary to the command- ant of the yard, directing the discharge of a number of employes whose appointments were made in an irregular way.

Burroughs and William Light- bown, molders, who had been discharged and who were re-employed in violation of the regulations. As it was shown that none of the persons named had resorted to unfair means to secure employment, the Secretary directed that they be allowed to register at the bottom of the list in their respective trades, and given another chance. About 160 persons employed at the yard were not rated in accordanee with the char- acter of their duties. The irregularities have been corrected as far as possible. Most of these cases were caused by a mis- construction of the regulations, and cannot strictly be regarded as violations. In sev- eral cases the rules were suspended by the superintendent of the naval gun factory, and this action was considered by him to be based upon sufficient reasons, but by the Secretary it was deemed manifestly 1m- proper, and he informed the officers in charge that hereafter, whenever the cir- cumstantes of a case justify a suspension of the rules, which should be done only in the rarest instances, the whole matter must be referred to the department, and that no person except the Secretary of the Navy could exercise such power. ———— Premature baldness may be prevented and the hair made to grow on heads already bald by the use of Hall's Vegetable Sicilian Hair Renewer. HARMONY| JIM STRUTHERS’ LOVEMAKING. How He Saved the Life and Won the Love of His Sweetheart. Col. Jim Struthers was at the National Hotel last night. There was an ecceatric- ity in his gait and a disheveled tone in his voice as he leaned listiessly on the brass rail which runs along the bar. The colonel assured The Star man that he was never more sober in his life. This was probably so. “Young fellow,” said he to the reporter, “if I were in your boots, I wouldn't drink all that, simply because she told the maid to tell you that she wasn't in. Brace up and grieve no more, my laddy. The course of true love never was smoother than a buck-board or a cable car. I once had an affair of the heart, or an aniour de couer, I believe they call it in Latin. The ouly time I ever studied that dead language was at college, and it conflicted so much with my studies in ballosophy that I was com- pelled to quit it. Well, anyhow, I had an affair of the heart. This is just as true as anything that Mr. Moody, or George Washington, or Ananias ever said. I ioved my love so well that I saved her from a briny tomb. The rescue was one of the most daring things I ever did. Falstaff and Bob Acres wouldn't have had the desperate courage which it required. I went down to San Francisco, and in my breast there burned a flame of mad passion for one of the bonanza beauties of the metropolis of fogs and fleas. She was as fair as any ideal ever wrought by Ariel into a poet's dream. Pegasus was never hitched to a thought lcvelier than her. Her skin was as fair as the hands of Leucothea, and her hair as alluring as that of Ligea. Her mouth was of coral inlaid with pearls, and her eves were stars of cyanite that shone from a heaven of blushes—biushes that came not from the rouge pot. Her figure was a form on which the gods did seem to have set their seal. She was molded in a Cythericn protoplasm and the billowy swells of Ler form came not from the cotton fields of Dixie. I loved her, and I wanted her to love me. If 1 could do anything to prove to her the heroic devotion of my Romeotic ardor, I would never have to borrow another cent. I thunk a thought. I owned a large, comfortable boat. of the batteau ttern, very much on the order of the Estella Sutton of the harbor police fleet. I proceeded to arrange this boat so that I could effect a rescue whenever I desired. I hauled the boat, and cut out a section of the planking just amidship. The after end of this section I restored by means of hinges, and the forward end of it I secured with a bolt. From this bolt I ran a light lanyard along the keel and fastened it to the stern-post, just under the water Ime. By reaching down and pulling this rope, a large piece of the keel would swing down, the tide would rush in and a swamp would follow. I thought if I could get the young lady to take a sail with me, I could run the boat over into shoal water, pull the trigger and save my sweetheart’s life like a hero. 1 invited her. She asked me if I could row. Well, now, you never saw a man on land who didn’t know &ll about handling a boat. I told her that I rowed with the Potomacs and had been left at River View more than once. She accepted. We took the Mont- gomery avenue cable car, went out as far as Steiner street, and took the dummy for the Presidio. We walked crosslots ihrough the grounds of the post, down through the stables, and instead of going round by the carriage road, we took the trail which leads across the lowlands to Fort Point. We reached this gloomy pile in due time and sat down to rest. The four tiers of decay- ing guns looked out upon us, and the big old cast-iron gun that stands on the north- west corner, at the top of the fortress, and announces the rising and the setting of the sun, frowned on us as usual. Away off to the south Lone Mountain, Mount Olym- pus and the Twin Peaks loomed up, and to the eastward was Telegraph Hill. This hill bears the same relation to 'Frisco as the green dome of the Illinois state building did to the world’s fair—you can never get out of sight of it. To the north were the barren hills around and back of Point Bon- ito and the sunny waters around Saucilito mirrored the blue of the sky. A pillar of dark smoke rose out of the western liorizon and announced the incoming of one of the | great steamers, perhaps the Alameda, from Australia, Auckland and Honolulu, or the Rio, China or Oceanic, from Hong Kong and Yokohama. Over toward the mouth of the Sacramento river steamboat smoke was also ascending. We sat on the sea- wall cnd I plucked wild blossoms for her. I asked her to wear them in compliment to the flowers; I told her that they were as frail as my hope for heaven and yor her, and that they were as pure and beautiful as the goddess of my world. She believed me. I knelt and held the gunwale of the boat as she stepped aboard. A good sea was running in through the Golden Gate. ‘Hard a lee,’ I sang out,as the boom swung, and we headed for Angel Island. All went merry as the marriage bell. We talked to each other of what star should be our home when love becomes immort: She dabbled her dimpled hand in the ter as we ca- reered along. As we struck the shoal on the north side of Angel Island, 1 put the boat into the wind, and as she came up, I pulled the lanyard, which withdrew bolt. There was a creaking, grinding sound; the whirl and rush and gurgle of the bay poured in upon us; my loved one uttered a two-lunged shriek, the craft lung- ed first to one side and then to the other, and settled. We were in the er. Her arms were around me. She rusting in my bravery and genius as a swimmer. “Don’t let me drown,’ she cried, ‘but rather let me die than you.’ There was quite a Iit- tle of surf and the waters were noisy. Still she clung to me as we journeyed toward the land. The dangers to which we were exposed were appalling. The sea at that point was waist deep, but I labored and groaned under my sweet burden, and said words of tender encouragement to her. 1 even called her darling and kissed her as she clasped me in her fright, and as I wad- ed into shore. It was a trying moment. I was close to land. I edged off vbliquely and slowed down so that I would not reach the beach too hurriedly. I liked the load which I carried. At last we reached jand, and I fell from exhaustion. She bent over, wept over, me, lollipopped over me, used up her vocabulary of sweets, stroked my hair and hands, even kissed me, called me her poor, dear, brave, darling hero, and as I suppressed a grin and opened my eyes with a sort ofa death-glazed look in them, I heard her shout, ‘Jim Struthers, I am yourn.’”” —_—~__ STEEL MERCHANT VESSELS. Th First One of American Build Launched Recently. The recent launch of the Dirigo, the first American ship built of steel, at the yards of Arthur Sewail, Bath, Me., is regarded by the treasury navigation bureau as an indus- trial event of prime importance. Commis- sioner Chamberlain says: “The increased construction of steel sailing vessels is per- haps the most salient feature in current statistics of the world’s merchant marine. In 1890 Lioyd’s Register recorded only 248 steel sailing vessels, of 348,653 tons, which was barely 3 per cent of the world’s sailing tonnage. The current Lioyd’s gives 6si steel sailing vessels, of 1,028,118 tons, or 12 per cent of the world’s sailing tonnage recorded by the authority named. While the per cent of steel vessels in the total tonnage in Lloyd's has increased from 20 per cent in 1890 to 33 per cent in 1803, the construction of steel sailing vessels in act- ual tonnage has multiplied three-fold with- in four years. The launch of the Dirigo is the beginning of the industry in the United States. —-o+______ A PATHETIC LETTER. A Condemned Man Begs Food and Shelter for His Family. Thorras Crumpton, the colored man who is under sentence of death for the murder of David Shanklin in South Washington, is in occupant of a cell in what is known as ‘Murderers’ Row” in jail, and he fully re- alizes his position. He receives spiritual consolation from Rev. John Roberts of the colored Y. M. C. A. and others. March 23, which is now about one month off, is the date fixed for his execution, and anticipat- ing what is to take place on that day, the prisoner spends most of his time in relig- ious devotions and gives no trouble to the guards or others about him. It is likely that an effort is soon to be made to have his case called to the Presi- dent's attention on an application for par- don, and failing in this an effort will be made to secure a postponement of the date set for the execution. Crumpton himself seems to realize that there is not any hope left, and he so ex- pressed himself in a letter he sent to Lieut. Vernon yesterday. In this letter he that his wife was sick and his children Starving, and asked as a favor to a man who has but a short time to live that he give some food and fuel to his sick wife and suffering children. “I have taken Jesus Christ as my guide id am ready to go,” he said in his letter. f you do this God will take care of you.” The pathetic letter was received late in the afternoon, and Lieut. Vernon had an officer go to the house, where the wife and four children of the condemned man were found and food and fuel were given them, the | said) = = SOME PENSION MATTERS. A Sharp Contest Likely to Take Placa m the House Committee. There have been two or three meetings of the committee on invalid pensions lately at which the discussions have waxed to @ very high heat. In one form or another the policy of the pension bureau in suspending pensioners underlies most of the contention. When the proviso was inserted in a deficiency bill last December that a pension should be a vested right to the extent that it could not be eus- pended or taken away without thirty days” notice to the pensioner and information of the nature of the charges against him, the principal bone of contention was thought to have been removed. This legislation was inserted in the bill at the suggestion of the cLairman of the committee, Representative Martin, an Indiana democrat, although it had previously been urged by republicans on the floor of the House. Ignoring the Act. Charges are now being brought forwaré by republican members that the commis- sioner of pensions is ignoring the act of last December. Specific cases were called to the attention of the House by Repre- sentative Tawney of Minnesota in @ reso= lution of inquiry regarding the construction placed upon the law by the Interior De- partment. Chairman Martin of the committee has intimated that if these charges can be sus- tained an iron-clad resolution or act, which would force the department to carry out the views of Congress in its policy, should be passed. Te Throw Open the Files. Another pension question to come before the House will be raised over the action of the committee in voting yesterday to make an unfavorable report on the bill by Rep- resentative Pickler of South Dakota, to throw open the files of the pension bureau to pensioners, ,applicants and their attor- neys. Members of the committee, who are supposed te be in touch with the bureau, opposed the proposed innovation on the ground that it would make much additional | work for the pension office clerks and cree | ate confusion among the files. Mr. Pickler, | on the other hand, urges that applicants or pensioners should, in justice, be permitted to review ail the evidence against them in possession of the authorities and not be left to fight In the dark. A minority report in support of the plan will be presented to the House, so that the lines for battle will be sharply drawn. A FEARFUL CRIME, Policeman Duvall Arrests a Man foe Awaiting His Wife. Sixteen prisoners occupied the cells at the Police Court this morning, only two of them being females. These young colored Women, however, were more troublesome than all the men and boys in the toils. ‘They were Mary Washington and Alberta Johnson. The former is, perhaps, the beste known prisoner who appears in court at regular intervals, and when she fails to create a scene in court and indulge in pro- fane and indecent the court has reason to believe that there is wrong about her, and she is in need of hos- pital treatment. Never does she fail to em- tertain those locked up with her, as she does the spectators in court. On this occasion, however, Mary sure prised the court and spectators by simply saying: “Yes, I'm guilty.” A fine of $ was imposed, and Mary went down. Alberta Johnson came to the front and said guilty, and against her the usual fine was assessed, but on her way back to the cell she had something to say in order to attract attention, and her fine was doubled, An Outrage. Robert V. Yost, a well-known citizen,who resides in Twining City, realized last night that he was in danger of arrest in one sec tion of the city for doing nothing but stand on the sidewalk to wait for his wife. He had taken a couple of drinks, however, but Was not intoxicated, and he also had a bote the. at liquor in ais pocket. ‘oliceman Duvall saw him standing cn New York avenue near Sth street, about o'clock last evening,and the man was frank enough to tell him that he was waiting see his wife, but did not want to go to house with the officer and cause any necessary alarm. Thereupon, the placed him under arrest and locked bim for vagrancy. That was the reason the tis ther-in-law is sick,” he told the ind I don’t go to her house. My wife is staying with her and I was ing on the street last night to see her.” “Where does your mother-in-law live?” ». 469 New York avenue.” ou might have saved yourself all this trouble,” said the judge, “if you had taken the officer to the house.” “I referred him to a number of good citi- zens,” said Mr. Yost, who added that he was a builder and was working for his brother. Judge Kimball dismissed the case. A little colored boy named Robert T. Cross was locked up all night because he threw a snow ball on 4 1-2 street last night. “That's punishment enough,” the judge told him, and he was released. John Mitchell's ne-vous condition was the result of what some drunken men call a “lark.” He was on a so-called “lark” last night, and this morning he said “yes” toe charge of drunk and disorderly, “Five dollars or fifteen days.” Usual Fines, Robert Cross stopped in front of Love an@ Charity Hall last night and endeavored to straighten himself out without the ald of a dose of ipecac. His conduct was so bad that Policeman Kem arrested him. “I was only half drunk,” was the prison- er’s statement, and he also denied what the officer had said. “The next time,” said the judge, “you haa better not get half drunk.” The usual fine was imposed. “Yes: I was cussin’,” responded Lem, : Jackson, an old colored man, and he went down in default of fine.

A bill has been prepared, says an Ane Rapolis special,and will be submitted to cone solidate the Washington and Potomac raile | road companies. The Washington and Po- tomac is the old Southern Maryland road, which now runs from Brandywine, in | Prince George's county, to Mechanii jin St. Mary's county. The Washington | Point Lookout road, which is still on paper, }is shortly to be sold. It was to run pare \allel to the Washington and Potomac. The | owners of the Washington and Point Looke out road claim that two such roads in come | petition would not pay, fore ask that they be allowed to consoll- date. The bill provides that after the re- celvers’ sale and reorganization of Washington and Point Lookout railroad tg shall be lawful for the two companies to consolidate. and they shall, after consolidas tion, be clothed with all the powers held by the present companies under their respec. tive charters and the laws of the state. It is the purpose of the Washington and@ Potomac road to extend the line from Me- chanicsville to Point Lookout. — a jore Details to Colleges, The Secretary of War today assigned | Lieut. Jos. C.
