LACK the THE CARLISLE BILL It Was Indorsed by the House Democratic Oaucus Yesterday. But the Vote Was So Light That the Defent of the Mea: re is Feared. By. a vote of 81 to 59 the democratic House caucus voted yesterday to indorse the Carlisle substitute currency bill, now before the Heuse. Speaker Crisp took the lead in presenting the resolution anU in vigorously urging the necessity of its adoption. The committee on rules was in- structed to bring in a rule to close the debate. Efforts to amend Mr. Crisp's reso- lution were voted down, one of the adverse votes showing only thirteen members of the caucus favorable to an issue of bonds to retire greenbacks. The result of the caucus is accepted with considerable apprekension by friends of the bill, notwithstanding the passage of the resolution of indorsement. The SL votes which the measure commanded in caucus is far short of the number neces- sary to pass it in the House. It is be- lieved by some that many of the 59 votes recorded against the olution will be changed now that the Carlisle bill has the prestige of caucus indorsement. But there Were several prominent leaders who as- seried at the close of the caucus the vote showed conclusively that the Dill 1d could not pass. Brief speeches were made in the caucus by Representatives Cox of Tennessee, Coombs of Now York, Bailey of Texas, ‘anson of Virginia, Coffeen of Wyoming, McRae of Arkansas, Washington of Ten- nessee, Bryan of Nebraska, and Sperry of Connecticut. They showed a very wide di- vergence of individual vie Mr. Sperry closed his remarks by offering an amend- ment to the pending resolution, by which the Sperry bill, for an issue of bonds to refund the greenbacks, was to be substi- tuted as the ore on which the caucus was to express its approval. Mr. Johnson of Ohio, a member of the banking and currency committee, follow- ed in opposition to the resolution ard to the Carlisle hill Mr. Terry of Arkansas also submitted an amendment proposing as the sense of the caucus a bill authoriz- ing each state to buy silver bullion to the amount of $1 fer each inhabitant, and send the same to the United States tre to be coined and*‘returned to The several states. This closed the speechmaking and the submission of amendments and voting began. The Terry amendment was voted on first and was defeated, 51 yeas to 64 nays. The Sperry amendment was also defeated by 13 yeas to 70 nays. Tho last vote was re- garded as significant in showing the lim- ited strength of the plan to issue bonds to retire the greenbacks. The thirteen vot- ing for the amendment were Messrs. Sper- ry of Connecticut, Harter of Ohio, Strauss of New York, Brickner of Wisconsin, Wells of Wisconsin, Coombs of New York, Loc wood of New York, Fielder of New Jer- Hendrix of New York, Tracey of New York, McAleer of Pennsylvania, Deforest of Connecticut, Pierson of Ohio. The question then recurred on the origi- nal resolution to indorse the Carlisle sub- stitute bill, It was decided to divide the resolution so as to have separate votes on the indorsement of the bill and om the in- structions to the committee on rules. The first part indorsing the bill was carried by a vote of SI to The second part di- recting the rules committee to bring in a rule was adopted without division and the caucus adjourned. + 2+ Col. Heys Funeral. ‘The remains of Col. Edward Milton Heyl, United States army, late inspecter general of-the Department of the Missouri, who died in Chicago on Wednesday, were laid away in Arlington cemetery Sunday at- ternoon, with the military honors due to his rank and ation. The bi arrived in a 1 car in the afternoon, in charge of spec Lieut. West, the detailed escort, and was acgompanied by Mrs. Heyl, her children, two sisters and several friends. Wrapped in a United States flag, the casket was borne to the caisson in wait- ing, and the cortege moved out to Arling- ton. Among those assembled to receive the body were Secretary Lamont, As ant Secretary Doe, Gen. Ruger, comm: sr of the Department of the Missouri, Gen, W. J. Sewell, and the following h orary pallbearers n. Joseph C. Br G ridge, Col. H. C. Corbin, Col. G. H. Burton, aj. W. P. Hall, Col. Geo. W. Davis, Col. Charles H. Alden, Col. John M. Wilson, Gen. M. R. Morgan, Gen. G. N. Lieber and Col. J. B. Babcock. At the end of the Aqueduct bridge on the Virginia side four troops of the Fort My avalry met the party, and fell in line in advance of the caisson, serving as mounted escort. Rev. Dr. Harding of St. Paul's Church corducted the religious services, which were brief, but solemnly impressive. They were ended by the firing party giv- ing the regulation salute of three volleys over the grave, the bugler sounding Mrs. Heyl and her children left last night for Philadelphia. Florid: Snap. Prof. Harrington, chief of the weather bureau, has made a report to the Secretary of Agriculture showing that the public in Florida were fully warned of the recent cold wave nearly twenty-four hours in ad- vance The warnings were given in the usual way. “The fact of the matter ts,” said Secretary Morton, commenting on this report, “that the public pays altogether too little heed to the warnings printed on the weather maps, unless Special attention is in some way ‘called to them by editorial notices In the papers, or otherwise. It is quite impossible for the bureau to italiclge its forecasts and warnings whenever these happen to indicate unusual weather condi- tions. People must learn to look out for the weather predictions and to read them intelligently ——_—___-e-____ Not Entitled to Mileage. The accounting officers of the treasury have disallowed the claim of Col. Com- stock and Lieut. Zinn of the engineer corps for mileage for that portion of a recent trip on public business made on a govern- ment vessel. Army officers traveling under orders are allowed 8 cents a mile for the istance covered, but they are alway: red to take the shortest route. q two officers named recently made a long trip under orders, 1,144 miles of which was on a vessel belonging to the government. ‘There 1s an old law, the wording of which is somewhat ambiguous and led the officers to believe they were entitled to mileage for this portion of the trip, which was per- formed without expense to them, as well as for the other portion of the trip, for which they had to pay. The accounting officers decided that mileage was not a proper charge against the government un- der the circumstances of this case. ——EE What Gen. Dumont Says. Inspector General Dumont, who Is at the head of the steamboat inspection service, informed a Star reporter that he did not care to discuss the attack made against his administration by a New ork newspaper further than to say that the article in ques- tion was simply a rehash of old charges which are res adjudicata, having already been investigated and disproved. —_—____-e.+___\__ Illness of Senator Irby. ord has reached the city that Senator Irby ts now quite ill at his home, Laurens, South Carolina. While no immediate ap- prehension for the Senator's condition is felt, 1t 1s known that his ailment is by no means trivial, and it is not expected that he will return quickly to Washington. Mr. Irby came here to resume his duties at the beginning of the session in December, and was then so ill that he did not leave his room at the National Hotel, and was here ten days without going to the Capitol. On the advice of his physician he returned to Laurens, and has been there since. It is understood that he is afflicted with some heart aftection, and his friends here are anxtously awaiting for the news from his home. Nothing definite is known here as to how he 1s progressing. FOR DYSPEPSIA Use Horsford’s Acid Phosphate. Dr. B. B. PETTITT, Sherman, Texas, says: “I have used It In dyspepsia with great success. I think it is a fine remedy.’ MUSICIANS PUNISHED. Members of the Marine Band Leave Before an Entertripment is Over. The game of “living whist’ which was played at Metzerott Hall Saturday even- ing was a most enjoyable entertainment, and netted a hatdsome sum for charity. Society people regard it as a success in every way, but there-are those who look upon the whole affair as in the nature of a delusion and a sare. These are some of the unlucky bandgme who furnished the music for the dances ‘and the other fea- tures of the evening. They played in scenes of festivé gayety, and now they are confined to the grim precincts of bar- racks as a result of what seems to have savored slightly of inSubordination. When orders were promulgated from headquarters directing a section of the Marine Band to be on hand at Metzerott Hall to furnish che music, under the direc- tion of Prof. Fanciulli, it was with the un- derstanding that they should play on as long as they were needed, In point of fact, toward the close of the evening, but before the clcsing dance, the lights went down for a moment, #nd some of the people started to leave the hall. Fanciulli had left his place temporarily for the purpose of conferring with some of the leaders with reference to the balance of the pro- gram. When he came back to resume leader- ship he discovered that thirteen of the orchestra had hurriedly packed up their instruments and left the hall. Only four still remained, and these were busy get- ting ready to go. The leader ordered them to stay, however, and the dance went on with a lesser band. The incident gave rise to some little talk at the time, but it dii not end with that evening. When Prof. Fanciulli came to make his report yester- day he mentioned the incident of Satur- day night, and the officer in command looked upon it as amounting to disobe- dience, requiring punishment, The defense put in by the men was that they were justified in leaving the hall, as they thought that the lights were being put out and the entertainment was over. This was not a sufficient excuse under the circumstances, as it was decided that they should have waited to be formally dis- missed by their leader. The result cf it was that ar order has been issucd re- stricting the thirteen men to the barracks for ten days. They are obliged to report at the barracks every morning at 8 o'clock and remain until sunset in the evening, each being allowed an hour at noon for dinner. Prof. Fanciulli’s View. In conversation with a Star reporter this afternoon Prof. Fanciulli stated that, in his opinion, all of his men, with perhaps one or two exceptions, acted in good faith whew they left the hall, honestly believing that the performance was over. They were only a little over hasty. He had nothing to do with the infliction of punishment, that resting with the commanding oflicer of the post. In his report he mentioned the inci- dent, and confinement to barrack bounds followed. Prof. Fanciulli has made an ap- peal for clemency for his men, and expects that by tomorrow their sentences will be remitted. He says that what with official receptions and private entertainments his men have been overworked of late and he thinks that, considering the small remuner- ation they receive, they have been doing remely well. For some time past he has been laboring, ag did Sousa before him, to have salaries in te Marine Band raised to a reasonable amount, and he thinks that the incident of last Saturday evening may serve in a way to bring up the mat- ter again. FIDELITY, STOCKHOLDERS. hey Will Receive Fifty Ce Receiver G. Hatley Norton of the Fidelity Building and Loan Association stated to a Star reporter tclay that he believed that stockholders woukl receive not less than fifty cents on the dollar, and possibly as much as sixty or seyenty. Mr, Norton has prepared a statement, brought up to the ith of last month, which is approximate concerning the total liabilities and assets. He thinks the liabilities will eventually be reduced to about $15,000, through can- tock, intel it, pre ums and fin 1unpaid. While there may be some ding bills, he thinks that there will Less © Dollar. han son, th be few. Mr, Norton finds that $198,603.36 have been collected on installient stock. From that $28, are to be deducted, leaving a balance in stock of $170,167.36; amount of withdrawals paid, § , making the approximate total of the liabilities on that class of stock at 3S collected on paid up stock, $4,131, wals paid, $000; Nability on that cla: 31.07; total nt of Special deposit, $45,168.31; with- awals pai total liability on that class, $17 ; total assets on real estate loans, including a collateral loan of $5,000, $63,953.90; balance of liabilities, $41,086.01. ‘The total Mability of $105,630.94, Mr. Nor- ton believes, will be somewhat reduced by fines and other penalities. Mr. Norton stated that he hoped to be able to soon submit a statement fuller and practically up to date. THE INCOME TAX CASE. we Hagner Has Set the Hearing for the L h Instaumt.

Result of a Conference That Was Held With the Secretary of War Last Weck. The recent visit to this city of Brig. Gen. Ruger, ccmmanding the Department of the Missouri, and Brig. Gen. Otis, com- manding the Department of the Columbia, is likely to result in important changes in the matter of army regulations and tactics. ‘These officers held long confer- ences with Secretary Lamont in regard tu certain improvements in the service, and the result was that Gen. Otis was instruct- ed to make a thorough revision of the army regulation recently prepared by a board of officers in the adjutant general's department, ani Gen. Ruger was entrusted with the special work cf revising infantry drill regulations on a plane similar to the recent revision of the light artillery drill regulations. ‘The changes made in the existing tactics by the new drill regulations are so ex- tensive that considerable time is necessary to their consideration before putting them into practical operation. The tactics have undergone many changes in recent years. Hardee's superseded Scott's and had a run of about six years, when they were suc- ceeded by Casey’s tactics, which ran about the same period and were then superseded by Upton’s tactics. The latter system re- mained in operation about four times as long as elther of its predecessors, but it tco finally gave way to the present system. The latter is under course of revision, but it will probably be some time before the work is completed and ready to be put into actual service. Increased simplicity and mobility are the prime objects of the new system. Whatever in the old tactics could be dispensed with altogether or performed with greater rapidity and ease has been niade the subject of improvement. For example, no hesitation was felt in abolish- ing the old “support arms” or in making a single movement from “order arms” to “right shoulder arms.” In marching, the rapid right and left turn has been sub- stituted for the slow wheeling, except in columns of files er of fours. The double column and movement by divisions and the wings of battalions have been stricken out altogether. The unit of organization has become the squad of four files, under their cerporal, and this squad is the basis of the system of extended order, which has be- come the appliance for skirmishing. Gen- erally speaking, the new system aims at that greater rapidity and freedom from formality which modern warfare seems to demand in military operations. ——-«+__ PTION TO BISHOP PARET. ‘To Be Given in His Honor by the Dis- triet Churchmen’s League. As heretofore announced in The Star, there will be a reception tomorrow even- ing at the Ebbitt House In honor of the tenth anniversary of the consecration of Right Rev. Dr. Paret as bishop of the diocese of Maryland. Dr. Paret was for- merly pastor of the Church of the Epiph- any, and there will be a large turnout of his old friends and parishioners on this oc- casion. The feception, which follows on the heels of a similar’ celebration in Bal- timore, will be under the auspices of the Churchmen’s League of the District of Co- lumbia, and the event will have added in- terest from the fact that its distinguished president, Chief Justice Fuller, will pre- side and make the introductory address. es RECE CRISIS FOR IRELAND. Mr. Gladstone Points Out the Neces- sity for Harmony Among Lenders. . A special cable dispatch to the New York World from London says: The division between the MeCarthy and the Healy wing of the nationalist party, to hich I referred in my cable dispatch of ast Saturday, has reached such a sudden and bitter climax that Justin McCarthy hes writen a letter to the effect that unless Ireland unmistakably repudiates Healy's fresh revolt it will be useless, if not im- pessible, for him (McCarthy) to continue in the leadership. In fact, the crisis is considered so serious that Mr. Gladstone himself has felt im- pelled to express himself decidedly upon it and to ask the intervention of some Amer- ican citizen to heal the breach. In conversation with ‘T, P. O'Connor, M. this evening, after the presentation to Gladstone of an address from the riendly Sons of St. Patrick of America, the veteran statesman, with earnest elo- quence, impr d upon Mr. O'Connor his view of the vital necessity of unity among the Irish nationalists it home rule is to be attained in the near future. My interest in Ireland and her cause, he said, “will continue unabated as long as life remains to me, and if I were entitled to advise Irishmen’ I should counsel unity among all Irish nationalists as the first es- ntial of success. Discord must neces- rily mean the adjournment of the claims ered duty could fall to any man than that of bringing about harmonious relations between all dhe Irish nationalists in the work of recovering her legislative rights. Those who promote dis- cord assume a terrible responsibility be- fore their country. “Is there not any Irish-American, or any American in that country where friendship for Ireland is universal, who could act as an intermediary in bringing about concord between the Irish nationalists?” Mr. O'Connor replied that Dr, Addis Em- met, probably the most highly respected Irishman in America, had come over speci- ally to intervene, and had warmly indorsed the action of the majority of the party as opposed to the factious course of the mal- contents; but still Ireland is threatened with a fresh attack upon majority rule as represented by Mr. McCarthy's following. oe nints About Stamps. Complaints are being made at the Post Office Department of the stamps which are being furnished by the bureau of engraving and printing. The chief complaints are made against the stamps of high denomi- nations, as being imperfectly perforated and lacking finish.

Gov. Brown of Kentucky Declares His Statements Inadequate. Gov. Brown of Kentucky issued a state- ment last night on the refusal of Judge Buchwalter of Cincinnati to surrender | Hampton, the colored preacher held, on presentation of requisition, saying after the requisition was issued on Gov. McKin- ley he should have seen it executed. “The statements of the judge are grossly inadequate. His argument is a mere sub: terfuge and quibble. He bas usurped th prerogatives of the governor of his stat: He has deliberately refused to execute th JUDGE ROOM WAS DEAD. Suicide on the Evening Set for His Marriage. George W. Davis, aged twenty-six years, a claim agent of the Lake Shore railroad, committed suicide last evening at Cleve- land under peculiar circumstances. Early in the evening he went to a barber shop with his brother and they returned to- gether to their home. He seemed cheerful as usual. Going to a spare bed room he Ht the gas, sat down on a chair before a mirror, put his feet on another chair and shot himself in the temple, the bullet pass- rg entirely through his head. He had not een dead an hour when there came to the plain comment of ‘s wee ae pares house two little girls, who inquired for him States, and subordinated it to 3 0vN | and explained that their sister, whom he caprice. He has reproached Kentucky for! Vas to marry last evening, was waiting crime of which his own great state is not guiltless. He has accepted the statements of a fugitive from justice that he feared unlawful revenge if remanded as a sutli- cient reason for his discharge. The statutes they may prescribg] to for him at her home. Davis’ family was amazed, as they knew nothing of his in- tention to marry. The young lady is Miss Anna Noonan, an intelligent and handsome girl, employed in one of the hospitals. Davis ‘was to have met her last evening at her home, her parents knowing of their intentions. ‘They were to have gone to Rev. R. A. George of Trinity Congregational Church to be married, and had planned a short trip. Miss Noonan was greatly distressed by the sad affair, but bore up well. It is un- derstood that’ Davis’ mother knew of his having paid attention to Miss Noonan and upbraided him for it on social grounds. coe Stone Throwers Convicted. Three months ago August Altemeir was stoned to death at Freepcrt, IL, by a gang of local toughs, seven of whom were ar- rested on a charge of murder. The trial ended yesterday. The jury acatfitted five, and found Tom Beverly and Otto Heiberg guilty of murder. Beverly was sentenced to hang and Heiberg gets eighteen years in the penitentiary. in Ohio, in so far a metheds and conditions supplementary and inconsistent with the United Stati law or the subject of extradition, must be admitted to be void. This proposition no one will dispute. ‘o lawyer will claim that Judge Buchwalter’s decision is sus- tained by any precedent in the country. If it shall have effect it will be fruitful as a discord where harmony and good will should prevail. If followed by the judiciary of Obic it will make that state the refuge and peradise of all the murderers, thieves and rapists of the south. The invitation and assurance of welcome and protection to criminals are given by the proclamation of Judge Buchwalter.” + Addicks Divorce Caxe. Argument in the Addicks divorcee case, on a motion for a ruling of the plaintiff, Mrs. Rosalie B. Addicks, to furnish a bill | of particulars in the charges of adultery preferred against her husband, began in the superior court at Wilmington yester- day morning. so Sulcide at Sea, Frank Usher of Potsdam, Y., committed suicide by jumping into the ocean from ‘the amship City of Birmingham, off Hat- teras N. C., Sunday. Usher had been place’ in charge of one of the stewards, as he had developed signs of mental dis- crder on the trip. soo Steel Men at Wor The 119-inch mill at the Homestead steel works is working and the strike at that place Is broken.
