The whole day in the House yesterday was devoted to general debate on the Loud postal bill, a measure under a special order which will bring the bill to a vote this afternoon at 4 o'clock. The general provisions of Yhe bill are pretty wel! understood. Its . principal features are the denial to the mails of serial book publications. at one cent per peund rates, and the stoppage of the newspaper sample copy privilege. M: Loud of California, the author of the bill, is its champion on the floor, and Mr. Quigg of New York has charge of the opposition. Those who took part in the debate yester- day were Messrs. Kyle (Miss.), Burton (Obio), Bromwell (Ohio), and Ogden, (La), in favor of the bill, and Messrs. Quigg @N. Y.), Johnson (Cal.) and Cummings (N. Y.), against it.

Talk of Holding Up a Portion of t Payment—The New Smith Crematory.- The garbage contractor left the District building yesterday afternoon in good humor. He had won his case before the Commissioners and was just $3,000 better It was, he explained, a little on gccount of the amount due him under his contract by the District for collecting and disposing of the city’s garbage. x Since the contractor decided to transport the garbage down the river by means cf the garbage navy, he has refrained from putting in a bill for services rendered. Under the terms of his contract he is en- titled to $4,950.41 for the work of collec- tion and cremation during the months of November and December. How much he is entitled to for collection and transporte- tion down the river has not quite-been fig- ured out. When asked from time to time why he did not put in a voucher for work already completed he replied that he did not need the money. Recently, however, he has suffered a change of heart, and from his argument before the Commission- ers is, or rather was, in need of finances. During the early part of the afternoon a fcrmal request for money was made by the contractor, but the matter went over until after office hours, when he was given # special hearing before the Commission- ers. He was accompanied by Manager Bay- ly, who presented the case. the situation briefly, and was followed by the contractor, who supplemented his re- marks with a statement of the collections made and the amount due him under the contract. According to the schedule pre- pared by the Commissioners there was due him for November, upon a basis of eight collections per month, $2,357.52, anf for December, upon & caleutation of nine col- ns per month, $2,592.89, or a total of $4,950.41. - What he wanted was two-thirds of that amount. Then followed He explained a discussion among the Commissioners upon the proposition. The failure of the contractor to operate the at the foot of South Capitol and it was pointed possession of the plant. He replied that When the Smith crematory was rcompleted (which he expected would be ready fur work within a few days) it was estimated that 100 tons of garbage could be disposed of a day. If this proved to be the case, and the crematory was Satisfactory, aty tention would be directed to the plant at the foot of South Capitol street. If no arrangement could be reached between the Owners and the contractor, proceedings would begin at once to move the building off the ground, and there would be sub- stituted a Smith crematory. There was some disposition to prolong the discussion, when suddenly one of the Commissioners asked Mr. Warfield how much money fe wanted. He replied that x0 would do. A whispered conversation was held with the auditor, and, the nealth officer interposing no objection, the Com- missioners voted the payment, and hence Contractor Warfield’s good humor. It 1s evident that there is a disposition on the part of the Commissioners to withhold fsom the contractor a small portion of the amount due him. They argue that he cannot expect to receive the contract price for taking garbage down the river, when the contract stipulates that the garbage burnt, and the appropriation makes specific mention of that method of disposition. So that now, with the $3,000 paid over, there remains but $1,650.13 in the hands of the Commissioners. It is understood the contractor will shortly make another re- quest. In the meantime all is not running smoothly at transportation headquarters, which are located at the foot of G street. Here the contractor has demonstrated, a: cording to a report from the District in- spector, a tardiness in the transportation of garbage that is inexcusable. He has made several reports to the authorities that scow loads of garbage are sometimes kept waiting for a day or so when they could just as well have been taken down the river. Se GEN. WALKER’S SUDDEN DEATH. it Came With Hardly an Instant. Warning. Gen. Francis A. Walker's death in Bos- ton yesterday was very sudden, coming with hardly an instant’s warning, and the sad news was received with surprise and no small measure of incredulity when it first became known in Boston. General Walker was in his usual health Monday and attended to his duties, as Gen. Francis A. Walker. usual, during the day. evening with his family and retired at the usual hour. About 12:30 a.m. he spoke to Mrs. Walker, who was awake by his side, making some casual remark. She answered him, and it was but a few minutes later when she was startled to notice that his breathing was becoming stertorous. She spoke to him, but received no reply. He Gid not speak again. As soon as Mrs. Walker discovered that her husband was unconscious she aroused the household, and a messenger was dis- patched for a physician, who responded as soon as possible, but when he reached the house General Walker was beyond the reach of aid, having passed away so quiet- ly and sudden. that the fact was hardly perceptible. He passed that +02 They Groaned. The seryices at the Emmanuel Baptist | Church, on Auger avenue, Sunday evening last, were interrupted to a serious extent by the actions of half a dozen colored boys. In consequence John Taylor, William Jones, John Coates, Edward and Ellsworth Jen- kins and Maurice McGowan were placed urder arrest. “What was the nature of the disturb- ar.ce?” Judge Kimball asked when the case was called today in the Police Court. "Deed, jedge,” explained a deacon, “a ¢urin’ ob de prayyers dese yere worthless Garkies would keep a-groanin’ jes like a ole mule in de mire.” “Ten dollars fine each.” In the United States branch of the ceurt later Edward Taylor was fined $5 for as- saulting one of the deacons who attempted to eject him from the church. —— Sent Down Again. William White, a colored man who has been in the workhouse frequently as a sus- pictous character and on charges of a wore serious nature, was in the dock of the Police Court again today. “This is that sissy man, is it not?” asked the court. “Yes, sir,” replied Prosecuting Attorney Pigh. A member of the Capitol police force tes- tifled that White accosted him yesterday in the Capitol grounds, and made a propo- sition of a revolting nature, “Six months in the workhouse,” ruled the court. a i} Position of the Badgers.

McKinney of New Hamp- shire, minister from*this/country to the United States of Col@mbia, is in the city for a few days. He said he was very much surprised to read the story of the reported intention of Colombia to take pos- session of Corn Island'and'the checkmating of the same by Nicaragua. His latest ad- vices from Colombia were that the dispute between the two countries would be set- tled by arbitration.” Some sharp corre- spondence passed “bétween them on the subject four or five months ago. The min- ister of foreign affairs of Colombia wrote to him seeking to have the interposition of the good will and friendly offices of the United States to induce Nicaragua to pre- vent any difficulties growing out of the dispute over the island, and Mr, McKin- ney advised him to have the matter settled by arbitration. The minister is not dis- nosed to believe that Colombia would at- tempt to take Yorcible’ possession of the island. ee Changes in Quartermasters’ Stations.

Resalt of the Republican Caucus at Harrisburg, Pa. As foreshadowed by the vote on the elec- tion of chairman of the Pennsylvania house of representatives caucus Monday evening, the senatorial contest was decided on the first day of the legislative session, and Boies Penrose is the successful aspirant. In the final round-up in the senatorial cau- cus, which was held in the hall of the house of representatives last evening, the vote stood: Penrose, 133; Wanamaker, 75; Robinson, 1; Cameron, 1; Charles E. Rice, 1. This would insure the election of Penrose in the joint assembly, with six votes to spare if he did not receive a single Wana- maker, scattering or democratic vote. The formal vote will be taken In the two houses Tuesday, January 19, but it will be a mere legal formality. Penrose was as good as elected at last night’s caucus. But, while the present contest ends with a de- cisive victory for Quay and his candidate for a colleague in the United States Sen- ate, it is evident that the contest between the antagonistic forces represented in this senatorial battle has only just begun. Wanamaker Not Discouraged. Mr. Wanamaker made a speech yesterday afternoon to an audience of business men, which crowded the hall on Walnut street occupied by the National League of Busi- ness Men to the doors, in which he said, among other things: “I desire to express my deep gratitude to the business men of the state who have come here at their own cost to battle for a principle—that of better politics. In such a contest I am with you. Nothing can chill my interest. The faithfulness with which you have stood up for your convictions has made Pennsylvania a great deal larger to me and given me a great deal more hope for it. This has been a wonderful battie. It has taken great courage for you men to stand up and speak your thoughts and con- victions and stand by the flag of principles, but I have observed in this contest that some men have but one eye. a Boiex Penroxe. “They could only see the offices. Others had but one ear; they could only hear promises. The great mass of the people of the state have hoped against hope for purer politics. To all such I would say, Keep up the good fight. Put my name down alongside of yours; we are not bat- tling for one place; that shall be proven to you. There shall ‘be no backward move- ment.” The applause which greeted these utter- ances was hearty and spontaneous, and in- dicates that the business men’s organiza- tion will be perpetuated to take part in fu- ture campaigns, both for state officers and Perhaps for Quay’s seat two years hence. Mr. Wanamaker met the seventy-tive members and senators who voted for him in caucus at his rooms in the Common- wealth after the caucus, and thanked them for their loyalty to him, promising that they would not be forgotten. Blankenburg and others made speeches, assuring them that the battle for deliverance from the rule of political bosses in Pennsylvania had but just begun, and that it would be waged to final victory. Botes Penrose. Boies Penrose was born in Philadelphia, November 1, 1860. He graduated with hon- ors at Harvard College in 1881, and was admitted to the bar in 1883. He was elected member of the Pennsylvania house of rep- resentatives from the eighth district in 1885, and was elected to the senate in 1886. In 1889 he was elected president pro tem- pore of the senate, and re-elected January 6, 1801; was re-elected to the senate, No- vember 4, 1890, and again re-elected No- vember 6, 1894. —— Models of Warships. Two beautiful additions have been made to the exhibition of models of warships in the corridors of the Navy Department, These are the models of the battle ship Maseachusetts and the armored cruiser New York, loaned to the Cramps of Phil- adelphia several months ago, and by them taken to Tokio for exhibition to the Japa- ese authorities as specimens of naval construction in the United States. It is-not unreasonable to suppose that their exhibi- tion had some influence in securing orders by American companies for the construc- tion of two warships for the Japanese navy. : : —_—_-e-______ Bank Dividend Beelarcd, ... .
