THE HOUSE ‘There was a very small attendance of members present when the House convened today, and but few visitors In the galleries.

Indian Appropriation Bull. At 12:20 the Indian appropriation bill was taken up in committee of the whole and the reading of the bill by paragrapis for amendment was begun. The first amendment was offered by Mr. Wilson of Wisconsin, providing that all Indian agents and all employes of Indian) agencies should be residents of the states am which the agencies were located. Aj point of order was made egatinst the amend- | ment on the ground that it changed exist-) ing law. Mr. Bowers of California pro- tested against the amendment on the ground that it would prevent the appoint- ment of army officers as Indian agents. Mr. Maddox of Georgia took the same yiew and intimated that It ill became republican to champion home rule in the matter of appointments to Indian agencies, for the republican party was the one to in- | augurate the policy of making appointments | from outside the states in which the agen- cies were situated. Mr. Fiynn ot Oklahoma took the ground that when appointments were made from outside a state or territory they should be credited in the blue book to the state from which they were appointed. He instanced cases of appointments in Oklahoma from West Virginia and other states, and yet they were stated to have been appvinted from Oklahoma. Mr. Springer .(1M.) inqutrea how long he had been a resident of Oklahoma when he <Flynn) was appointed postmaster at Guth- Fie? “About a week,” replied Mr. Flynn, to the great emusement of the House, which Jed Mr. Springer to assert that the severest criticism of carpet baggers came from men} ‘who Were themselves carpet baggers. } “I want to say,” retorted Mr. Flynn, “that I got into Oklahoma as soon as any one else, except some friends of the gentle- jaan from Lilinois (Mr. Springer) who were *sooners,” ‘The chair sustained the point of order. An amendment was offered by Mr. Mor- gan (Mo.) re-establishing the Quapawagen agency in the Indian Territory and ap- propriating $1,400 for the support of the egency. In the bill under discussion this | agency had been consolidated with the| Union agency at Muscogee. The amend- ment was agreed to, but Mr. Holman gave notice that he would demand a separate | Yote In the House. | Mr. Pickler (S. D.) offered an amendment providing that army officers shouid be ap-| inted as Indian agents only when the! President shall decm it for the best inter- est of the service. sep. THE PYTHIAN PARADE. Arranging for Horses for the Use of © Knights. ‘The pressure of hustle at the headquar- ters of the Pythian encampment committee fs not so intense today as it has been at other times during the week, but this ts Saturday, ad the business men who con- sutute the committee are under a stress of private interests. The committee on horses and carriages met last night with Chairman W. T. Mockbee and Secreta-y James McNabb, jr., at their posts. The attendance was not so large as it might have been and it was openly debaced whether or not the committee had made a mistake in several of {ts members. The question was dec affirmative and three names were dropped from thé list. tecause of non-attendance at meetings. Several proposals read last | night were satisfactory, and the ‘committee will heve no difficulty in procuring all the | mounts needed at satisfactory prices.

The Mass Meeting Lunt Evening and a Number of Addresses. The Endeavorers of the District met at the Ryland M. E. Church last evening. A song service, led by Mr. Percy S. Foster, opened the meeting, and then President McArthur read the Scripture lesson. Rev.’ B. N, Seymour of the Fifth Congregational Church offered prayer. Rev. S. M. Hart- Sock, pastor of the ¢hurch, extended a hearty welcome to the visiting members, and after alluding to the wonderful progress which the movement had attained, con- cluded his remarks with an aljusion to “Washington, ‘96, which created much enthusiasm. Dr. S. M. Newman, -pastor of the First Congregational Church, spoke on the topic, “Where Strength is Obtained.” He said that in this day and generation there was much need of strength, for there was much more to be undertaken than ever before. This strength was only to be obtained from @ personal contact with the Source of all strength. An encouraging report was received from the preliminary committee of ‘06, through its chairman, Mr. W. H. H. Smith. Rev. Howard Wilbur Ennts then spoke upon the topic, ‘How Strength is Obtained.” Prayer and a daily study of the Bible were the aqueducts through which the great strength from above must be transmitted to the Christian life. Mr. L. A. Conner, jr., gave some sugges- ticns in regard to the arrangements for the coming convention in Cleveland, July M1—15. Rev. Joseph T. Kelly then told why strength was obtained.” This, he said, was}, the practical part of the subject of the evening. God gives strength for a purpose | and that purpose should not be a ‘selfish | one, but should be to exert the strength | obtained for the good of one’s fellow men. | Mr. P. S. Foster spoke feelingly of the Nfe and work of Miss Grace Fox, who has recently died. He referred especially to her faithful service on behalf of the Christian Endeavor Unton, the Moody choir and the St. Paul's Lutheran Sunday school. ‘The meeting cloged with the Mizpah bene- | diction. followed by the apostolic benedic- tien by Dr. Newman. ae EXPIRES TOMORROW. The Period of the Imprixopment of the €oxey Leaders. | Warden Leonard of the jail has notifisd Coxey, Browne and Jones, the cemmon- wealers, that they may leave ihe jail to- morrow morning between § and 12 o'clock, the expiration of their twenty days’ tm- prisonment. To a Star reporter today Warden Leonard said that the time in this case had been computed the same as it has always been computed in the prison, and thelr treatment does not vary a par- ticle from the treatmert of others. The commonwealers were received on the 2ist of last month, he said, and the twenty days will not expire until temorrow. In the matter of assessing fines, the pro rata amounts are made up in a different way. After a prisoner has served part of his sentence and pays part of the fine, he is given credit of a whole day for the fraction of the day on which he ts committed, and is also allowed the fraction of the day on which his fine is paid. In the matter of ‘irprisonment, however, Capt. Leonard says it is different, and that, consequenily, the full term has been served. Capt. Leonard said he saw Chief Justice Bingham’ today, and was informed that his position concern- ing the release of the commonwealers is in | accordance with law. FESTIVAL OF PENTECOST.

CONSULTED COUNSEL Before He Answered the Questions of the Sugar Committee. MR. TERRELL'S CHATS WITH SENATORS He Talked With Republicans and Democrats Alike. MR. JONES’ AMENDMENTS ‘foward the close of his testimony yes- terday Mr. Terrell was asked if he knew | of any United States Senator, or any per-/| scn pretending to represent him, speculat- | ing in sugar stocks during the pendency | of the present tariff bill, to which he re-/| plied: “I do not. My friend Senator Brice. has been represented as having made a for- | tune in this wonnection. There is abso-| lutely nothing in it. I never was a member | of @ pool of sugar stock in my life, or of any syndicate that was interested in it.” | Senator Davis—During your stay in Wash- | ington have you bought or sold sugar cer- tificates? When was your last investment? Mr. Terrell—I presume the latter part of | April or the first of May. | Senator Davis—How many purchases or | sales of sugar certificates have you made | bend your stay in Washiagton in January it? i Mr. Terrell—I cannot recollect. I had | bought and sold a great many things—pos- | sibly 20,000 shares at $100 each. But that | covers quite a number of transactions. Senator Lindsay—“You spoke of talking | with republican ag well as democratic Sen- ators. How many republican Senators do you know?" Mr. Terreli—‘Senator Aldrich, Senator MeMillan of Michigan, whom I have known | quite well for a number of years. I had a little talk with him. I mentioned the tariff bill, and asked: ‘Is it going to pass, or is it not going to pass?” mostly with those men. As far as Mr. Aldrich is concerned, 1 boarded with him at the sume hotel, and | saw him at meals, met him in the lobby, and laughed and talked with him about tari? many times, and asked him whether re going to defeat the bill, Tam a republican, and would be glad to see it beaten, so far as that is concerned. There has been no conversation with republican Senators that had any significance what- Senators on Both Siden, Senator Lindsay—"You did not hesitate to talk sugar with them?" Mr. Terrell—“I talked sugar with any an.” The chairman--"“Did you make any dis- crimination between republican and demo- cratic Senators in that regard?” Mr. Terrell—“‘No, sir. I have no apologtes to make to anybody for doing it. I have an! interest, and I have a right to talk with a Senator of the United States in a fair man. ner on any legislation, and when it comes to the point that we cannot we might ar well shut up shop. Chairman Gray—"Did any republican Sen- ator hesitate to talk with you upon the subject of sugar?” Mr. Terreil—‘None whatever. tor has hesitated to talk with me. se Consulis Couns E. R. Chapman of the New York broker- age firm of Moore & Schley was before the Senate investigating committee again today. He declined yesterday to answer questions concerning his firm's handling of sugar stock and asked for time to consult coun- sel. He saw Judge Shellabarger of this cify last night and obtained a written opin- fon from him to his legal rights, which is supposed to have been to the effect that he could not be compelled to answer. He went before the committee a few minutes after 11 today. In his examination a@ portion of the ar- ticle which appeared in the Philadelphia Press containing the charge that Moore & Schley had possession of a copy of the four | hundred Jones amendments, among them | being the sugar schedule, before they were offered in the Senate, was read to the wit-| ness, who denied any knowledge of such a| fact and declared that he did not believe i was true. So far as he knew no mem- ber of the firm and no employe had seen the amendments before they were present- ed. Being asked whether his firm had been | a heavy dealer in sugar stock during the last six months, Mr. Chapman asked leave to consult his counsel before answering. | He also made this request when asked whether or not his firm had acted for Senator Brice or other Senators in the pur- chase of sugar or other speculations in stocks, but he admitted that his firm had at times done business for Senator Brice. The witness was shown a letter to the chairman of the committee from Senator Brice, In which the Senator asserted that he desired and would require any of his clerks, brokers, ete., to advise the commit- tee of any speculative transaction in the industrial stocks to which he had been a party since March 4, 1891, when he entered the Senate. In this letter Senator Brice stated that during the period since he had entered the Senate he had not been interested directly or indirectly, Rlone or with others, either for investment or speculation, or in'the re- sults of either, In any sugar or other indus- trial stocks or security or property. Notwithstanding this communication, Mr. Chapman still asked to be allowed to'con- sult counsel. Refused to Answer. Mr. Chapman was excused by the com- mittee at 1:45. His testimony was vol- uminous and consisted largely of refusals to answer the questions put to him. The purpose of the committee when they found that Mr. Chapman would not answer ques- tions was shown to be to prove specula- tion in sugar stock by tmplic.tion. It is understood Mr. Chapman's refusal to answer will be reported to the Senate on Monday. The Vice President will then be asked to certify the fact to the district attorney. Mr. Morgan Ross, room clerk at the Ar- Hington Hotel, w next called and asked about sending cards, and especially Sen- ,No Sena- .ators’ catds,to the rooms occupied by mem- bers of the sugar tru: Mr. Ross said that the sending up of cards was such a matter of routine with him that he could not re- tember, School in the hall of the Central School. drill, and the Marine been secured to render HIGH SCHOOL’ MATTERS.

To persons who have read of the magnifi- cent presents given to Bismarck by the old emperor it has been a surprise to learn re- cently that his estates are heavily mort- geged. His present from the old emperor after the Austro-Prussian war of 1866 was $300,000, and with this sum he bought his place at Varzin. ‘After the Franco-Prussian war he receiy-_ ed from the same hands the Saxon forest | at Friedrichsruh, valued at $750,000. He inherited the ancestral estate at Schoen- hausen. tleth birthday, his admirers throughout the world gave him that portion of the Schoen- hausen property which his father had been obliged, to sell when times were hard. The | money ‘value of the gift was some $100,000, Bismarck is also a distiller, a forester, and the owner of a large brickyard. Despite all these advantages, however, he has found it impossible to lift the mort- gages, amounting to about $750,000, which have incumbered his estates for many years. Of his gross income more than $2, 000 must be devoted every year to paying the interest on his debts. The burden is not agreeable to the old chancellor, and he has often remarked to his friends recently that his ambition to leave an unincumbered property to his children would never be gratified. RED-HAIRED GIRLS OUTNUMBERED. A Practical Test of the Superstition About White Horses. From the New York Herald. My chum and reom mate was a confirmes victim of the betting habit. He would wager his money upon the most absurd propositions and in the most reckless man ner, and the oddest part of it was that he really felt hurt if I refused to take up his crazy wagers. The result was that he usu- ally paid my share of our room rent as well as his own, but this never worried him for a moment. He was a cheerful and steady loser, and upon all other subjects he was perfectly sane. He once remarked to me that he wasn’t at all superstitious, but he did think it odd that one never could see a red-headed girl without immediately encountering a. white horse. I remarked that I didn’t take any stock in that ancient notion, and, anyhow, there were so many more white horses than there were red-haired girls that it wouldn't be strange if he could find @ white horse for every red-haired girl. He challenged the propositicn instantly that the number of horses exceeded the number of girls, and, of course, proposed to bet that he was right. To give him a rea- sonable chance I an “even” but proposed that we walk up Fifth avenue from Madison square to 65th street, and if I didn’t count three white horses for every red-haired girl we met then I would pay the next month’s rent. My chum jumped at this three-to-one chance, and we started to test the question. The white horses kept well ahead of the girls at first, though not quite in the ratio of three to one, and the result seemed in dcubt until we approached the cathedral. Then we encountered a throng of women, oung and old, pouring out from service. ‘We kept count conscientiously, and when that crowd had passed my end of the bet seemed hopeless. The white horses had been not only overtaken, but they were out- numbered by a total of twenty-seven giris to nineteen horses, But I cidn't despair. I knew as the afternoon wore on the ‘kK entrances would hel me out in the matter of white horses. Aad 80 they did. northward the red-haired girls all seemed to have been transported to another sphere, while whole processions of white horses were streaming in both directions almost as fast as we could count them. 1 won the bet. The horses scored a total | of 105 and the girls only 34, so I had just three white horses to spure. ——__—+e. A CHIP OF THE OLD BLOCK.

The settlement of the coal strike is ex- pected today and traders are hopeful of higher prices early next week in conse- quence. The continued improverhent in the price of wheat is also a factor favorable to improved values, but recent breaches of faith on the part of this commodity have made traders skeptical of the permanency of its present position.

Ultimate results are not doubtful, but the present attitude of the larger interests is Tegarded as proof of their belief in lower prices before the real and much-heralded Tise takes place.

One day as she was passing the open door of his room, where he lay smoking and reading, he call- ed her in and asked her to bring him a book from down stairs. He attempted to describe it, but it was a German work and he thought she could not read ft. “T know,” she sala, and quickly went down and brought it to him. “So you understand German?” he said, and she gave an evasive reply and left the room. That evening at dinner Tennyson could not draw a cork from a beer bottle, and after every one had tried and failed he said to Mrs. Neville: “Where is your Marion? She can do it; she can do everything, from reading German to waiting at table. Let her try.” Marion came, and, amid a chorus of apologies and | explanations, she drew the cork. Another day at dinner she was summoned to the ta- ble for some trivial reason, and it was found out afterward that {t was to rettle a dispute about the color of her eves.
