Je28 ‘SHE HALL OF RECORDS. jo Action Taken Because of the Lack of a Quorum. ‘The House yesterday afternoon refused to act on the bill to provide the United States with a storage room for its records, Mr. Baker of New Hampshire preventing action by raising the point of no quorum. There was considerable debate upon the Dill, dur- ing which some members manifested a dis- position to intimate that this building would be for the benefit of the District, but Chair- man Bankhead explained that this is not a District bill, but is one in which the District is not in the least interested. He called their attention to the fact that this building is for the accommodation of Congress and the departments for the storage of valuable records. Mr. Bryan of Nebraska wanted to reduce the price of the lots to $175,000, and was supported by Mr. Baker of New Hampshire, who maintained that the price proposed to be patd ty the committee is excessive. Mr. Bankhead said the property cannot be bought at this figure, and offered to strike out the price and permit the lots to be ac- quired by condemnation. Several members indulged in criticisms upon the committee until, finally, Mr. Northway of Ohio, a re- publican, and not a member of the commit- tee, came to the rescue. Mr. Northway’s Experience. “I want to call the attention of the com- mittee to what I believe to be a wrong LYING IN| STATE Suze Thousands of Frenchmen Look oni Carnot’s Face, CHINA AND JAPAN LIKELY 10 FIGHR pol Eee Sea The First Race Abroad of the Vigilant. eee GENERAL FOREIGN AFFAIRS ee ae aa PARIS, June 20.—The general public was admitted this morning to the grounds of the Elysee, and soon aftcrward the line of people intent upon viewing the coffin con- taining the remains of the late President Carnot reached from the palace to the Place de La Concorde. The casket rests in a chapelle ardente, at the entrance of the Cour a’Honneur. ‘The catafalque is in the form of a small Greek temple with Corinthian, columns. Large candelabra, wreaths of immortelles and national flags are drooped around the bier and over all are many palms. At in- tervals are long black pendant banvers, silver wreaths, with the letters “R. F. (Republique Francaise.) On the main drapery the letter “C." (Car- not) is worked In silver at frequent inter- vals. Most of the windows along the route to be followed by the fuheral procession Sunday are already let, fabulous sums of money being charged for them. In some instances 25,000 francs ($5,000) have been paid for the use of a whole house along the line of march. The number of floral wreaths sent to the Elysee simply incredible, and some of them are of very great value. One wreath alone, nt by a society of French women, cost 5,000 francs ($1,000). The florists of Paris, according to estimate, have already received orders for 1,500,000 francs ($300,000) worth of floral emblems to be used in dif- ferent ways during the funeral. LONDOD June 2¥.—The Rome corre- spondent of the Times learns that the Ital- jan government intended to propese to the powers the adoption of a system of inter- national supervision of anarchism and the creation of a central bureau, say at Genev: for the exchange of news in regard to the movements of recognized anarchists. The Italian government does not intend to make a demand for indemnity for losses sustained by Italians in France through pillage since the death of President Carnot. The correspondent of the Daily News at Paris says that M. Dupuy is deeply disap- | pointed at his defeat for the presidency. He will go to the seaside to recruit, and during his absence the Burdeau cabinet will be formed. The correspondent says that M. Casimir-Perier received a sickening shock om hearing of the murder of Presi- dent Carnot, which caused a revulsion of feeling against his own long-nursed ambi- tion to become president, and which his friends had the utmost difficulty to over- come. M. Casimir-Perier became premier at the express wish of President Carnot as @ pxcparation for the presidency of the republic. Wreaths for the funeral were in sight on the boulevards last evening. Orders for over 1,000,000 francs worth of floral o‘ferings have been received by Paris florists. A dispatch to the Times from Paris says: The celebrated oculist and former member of the chamber of deputies, Dr. Javal, writes to the Journal Des Debats that President Carnot did not intend to accept a second m as president, and had virtually designated Casimir-Perier as hi: successor. His widow on hearing the re- sult of the election sald: “All the better, my husband could not have a worthier suc- cesso: Adolphe Carnot, the brother of the dead president, corroborates Dr. Javal's state- ment. He says: “Long before his visit to Lyons, my brother told me that he should retire at the end of his term, and added: ‘If this tradition is neglected by one of my predecessors, I should at least be an ex- ample to those succeeding me. triotic necessity in our republic.’ Adolphe Carnot also confirms Dr. Javal's statement that the late president desired Casimir- Perier to succeed him. He says his brother spent his whole stipend while in office and leaves his family poorer than it was before she was elected to the presidency. The Times correspondent says it mis- take to suppose that the rejoicing at Casi- mir-Perler’s election has silenced the polg- nancy of regret for Carnot. I have been struck today, he says, by the fact that men everywhere have resumed an attitude of melancholy and taciturnity, in great contrast to the usual exuberance of all classes of French society. ‘The emotion caused by this dagger thrust weighs upon the entire nation, as it should weigh upon the minds of all the thinking men of the world, WAR IS IMMINENT. Japan and China Likely to Fight About Corea. LONDON, June 29.—A dispatch to the Times from Shanghai, China, today says that Japan, preferring foreign to civil war, Tefuses to evacuate Corea. Consequently China ts increasing her naval and military forces for active operations. A dispatch to the Chronicle from Shang- hai says that war between China and Japan is imminent. American Vi on the Scene. The latest information received at the Navy Department about Corean matters was from Admiral Skerrett, who, a few days ago, reported everything quiet.

I tramped over the public grounds myself a great deal, and 1; made up my mind, after having tramped | miles, that the committee knew more about this matter than I did, and that I had done | an unwise thing in voting against its recom- | mendation. I came back to the House and examined the membership of that commit- | tee and saw no reason why we should not | have confidence that they would do an hon- est and wise thing. I looked over the con- | stitution of the committee, and I thought that the House ought to follow the advice of that committee. “If we are going to put up any public | buildings we have to follow the lead of | somebody. It is admitted that we need this | building. I do not know. I take it for| granted that we do need it. Now, I want to call the attention of the committee to the fact that we are going to do an unwise thing if we stand up here and repudiate everything that the committee recommends. As wise men, it seems to me, we must fol- low that committee as we do other commit- tees, and 1 do not see why we cannot do so after they have made their examination. A Falr Proposition. “Now, the chairman makes a fair propo- sition. He moves to strike out all the| figures and leave the Secretary power | to condemn. I think we ought to compro- | mise on that.

It is not | wise that I should attempt it. The commit- | tee has done hard work in this matter, and I submit that it is the part of wisdom on the part of this committee to stand by the | committee having this matter in charg Let us strike out the vou and accept th Froposition by the chairman of the committee, leaving it alone with the Secre- + tary of the Treasury to fight this thing and condemn the property. If we are to have this building, let us have it, and get rid of cur personal feelings in this matter. ‘The Point of No Quorum. | Mr. Bryan insisted upon hi: tees and the vote was 40 a nays. Mr. | she was ordered at the time the trouble in Corea first began. No steps, it is said, have as yet been taken to strengthen the United States naval force in the east, though it is not improbable that this matter | may be discussed in cabinet meeting today. An official of the State Department said that the only information about the trouble the government had was that the Chinese had made a proposition to the Japanese government that both countries witndraw , their troops from Corean territory stmul- taneously, but that Japan had declined to accede to the proposition. While this gov- ernment could not undertake to interfei in any Way with the matter there ts every reason to believe that it will tender its good offices with a view to preventing trou- | ble.

GLASGOW, June 29.—The Vigilant’s first race on this side of the Atlantic will be for the Queen’s cup, oa the Clyde, on July 7. ‘The American sloop has been sailing about the Firth for the past few days, and has been attracting much attention.

Further Extension of the Epidemic of | avcrion sax Burglary. One-Sided Prize Fight La Night— Getting Ready for the Campaign —Many Other Notes. The epidemic of attempted burglaries does not seem to have been run through with as yet. Last night another unsuccess- ful attempt was made by thieves to enter the safe in the feed store of W. D. Grill- botzer & Co., on Upper King street. They had entered the store and had drilled a hole in the safe, but were scared off before they haa »<cceeded in getting into it. There have been so many of these attempts of | late that the merchants have adopted the plan of having one of the clerks sleep in their store each night. There seems to be a regularly organized gang of these thieves, who watch for the policemen on the beat to pass by, and then carry on their ne- farfous work. That they will be caught is only a question of time. ‘The new flooring for Hunting Creek bridge is expected to arrive on Monday, when the bridge will be completed accord- ing to contract, and formally thrown open to the public about the middie of the week.

Mr. Harry Lester has gone to Baltimore on a business trip. A handful of people went to Dan Henry’s Theater last night to witness the boxing ecntest between Joe Corrigan of Washing- ton and Jack Dougherty of Hamilton, Ohio. Corrigan was no match for Dougherty, and threw up the sponge in the beginning of the second round. When the men entered the ring it could be easily seen that Corri- gan was not “in it,” and at the end of the first round everybody knew that this wi true. When he returned to his corner at the expiration of the first, he said to his second: “I am going to give it up.” “I can't stand up against that man. His second, however, urged him on, with the result as above in the second round. Dougherty is a cyclone, and a fit match for any good man of his weight in chis vicin- ity. He is a rapid fighter, and appeared to be able on a pinch to stand any amount of punishment.

Michaelso: Question of Wholesale and Retail | Clothing Manufacturing Licensen Settled. An interesting question bearing upon Nquor Mcenses was the subject of an opin- ton from the attorney for the District to- dey. ‘The question was, “Whether a man who held a wholesale liquor license on March 3, Isis, 1s eligible for a retail liquor license under the amendment of the law approved It is prob- | 3 May 12, 18M4.""" In other words, can a man Who held a wholesale liquor license within 400 feet of a public school prior to the pass- age of the amendment which exempts places from the operation of the 40 feet rule ap- ply under the new law and obtain a retail license. Attorney Thomas says it 1s immaterial Whether the business was that of a whole- sale or a retail liquor dealer. “If he was jocated and licensed in the liquor business | at that place on March 3, 18¥3, then he ts eligible for a license in view of the amend- ment, notwithstanding the proximity of a School house to his place of business, if the excise board, in virtue of the discretion Vested in it, sees fit to grant it to him.” ef 9 Tis FOR PUBLIC SCHOOLS, Estimates for Money Required to Re- which he says that the visible supply of | | He urges an appropriation of $33,000, ang the | annual letting of contracts for furnishing | supplies for the Indian service on the Pa-| cifle slope.

They were to equally share the Frofits, the receipts to be deposited in bank and drawn out upon the jointly signed checks of the two. The business flourished, but the complainant alleges that Drew has Violated the partnership agreement in sev- | eral ways, and that he has attempted to sell the business to one Samuel Frank, also made a defendant in the suit. Mr. Turner therefore prays that a receiver be appoint- ed; that the partnership be dissolved, and that the defendant be restrained from fur- ther interference in the business, —__.
