MUSICAL DIRECTOR. Mr. Compliments Bestowed Upon Percy S. Foster of This City. Mr. Percy S. Foster of this city is in re- ceipt of an invitation from General Secre- tary John Willis Baer of the United So- ciety of Christian Endeavor, at Boston, Mass., which is as follows: “I have been intending for some time to write to you, telling you how much we all Want you to lead the chorus at the coming international convention at Nashville, ‘Tenn. We have invited Mr. E. O. Excell of Chi- cago, and we would like to have the privi- lege of announcing you and him as our leaders to alternate in the two big meeting plac “With you and Mr. Excell, we shall feel that we have once more some of the splen- did music we had at the Washington, D. C., convention. The singing will be from our new book, ‘Christian Endeavor Edition of Sacred Songs No. 1.’” Mr. Foster has participated in all of the international Christian Endeavor conven- tions from New York, ’92, excepting only the one at San Francisco last year. He spoke at the former and assisted in the music at the Metropolitan Opera House; was one of the speakers at Montreal, ‘93, and was the musical director at Cleveland, "34; Boston, '9, and Washington, 's6. Dr. F. E. Clark, the president and founder of the Caristian Endeavor movement, in writing to the Christian Endeavor World (ate Golden Rule), from Liverpool, during his recent trip around the globe, speaks as follows on the question of music: “The convention was great in its praise. It 19 no disparagement to the singing at our own conventions to say that in Liverpool it was of a different type. More difficult music was attempted; more variety and ex- bression were essayed; loud and soft, ten- der and triumphant. Usually the’ fo parts were taken, sometimes all sang unison, sometimes the choir alone, some- times the galleries, more often the whole vest audience together. More than once the magnificent “Te Deum’ was chanted by the whole congregation in splendid time ard tune. Rev. Carey Bonner was the lead- er of the great chorus choir, and he de- serves to rank with Mr. Percy S. Foster of Ww ashington (and they should go down io history linked together) as one of the few great leaders of Christian Endeavor music in the world.” ‘his convention in Liverpool numbered 14,000 delegates and 47,000 tickets were given out for the various meetings. —_—-__.

Strength of Annexationists in the : House Developed. ; MR. BAILEY AND THE SPEAKER AGAIN Senator Stewart Speaks on the Teller Resolution. MR. NELSON’S AMENDMENT In a somewhat indirect way there was an expression of sentiment in the House this merning on the Hawalian question. The question was presented in the form of a motion to Jay on the table a resolution which had been scme time ago referred. to the foreign affairs committee, which, among other things, inquired of the President in effect upon what authority he had entered into negotiations to pay $4,000,000 for the islands of Hawaii. The democrats, under the leadership of Mr. Bailey, opposed tabling the resolution. The vote showed the republicans standing solidly together, and the resolution was ta- bled by a vote of 134 to 105. The vote of the majority may be construed as showing the sentiment on that side favorable to the annexation of Hawaii. In the House of Representatives today some odds and ends of legislation were cleaned up by unanimous consent. A bill was passed declaring a bridge across the Tallahachie river, in Talla- hachie county, Miss., a lawful structure. On motion of Mr. Cooper (Tex.), a bill Was passed appropriating $15,000 for op- erating a dredge boat at Sabine pass, Tex. Mr. Hitt, chairman of the foreign affairs committee, submitted a privileged report from his committee, recommending the passage of a resolution of inquiry, request- ing the State Department,.if not incom- patible with the public interest, to trans- mit to the House al! information in its possession relative to the military execu- tion of Col. Ruiz, a Spanish envoy to the insurgent camp of Aranguez. The resoluticn was adopted without di- vision. Mr. Hitt also reporteé back, with an un- favorable recommendation, the Lewis reso- lution calling on the State Department for a draft of the Hawalian annexation treaty and for information as to what constitutional authority the President had to contract for the payment of an Hawali- an debt of $4,(4#0.00) out of the public treas- ury. Mr. Hitt explained that the resolu- tion had been offered at the last session, and, as the treaty Had been made public, there was no nece: for its passage. Mr. Bailey (Tex.) thought that the lat- ter part of the resolution broached a ques- tion of importance and one that could be inquired into with propriety., Mr. Hitt cut off further debate with a demand for the previous question. The demand was sustained. Mr. Dinsmore (Ark.), the senior minority member of the foreign affairs committee, stated that the report of the committee was unanimous, as it appeared to them that the main purpose of the resolution Was to procure a copy of the treaty which had already been printed. He would vote to sustain the committee. Mr. Bailey declared that he was unwilling to vote to lay on the table a resolution which sought to learn.the President's au- thority for contracting to pay out $4,000,000 of the public funds. The resolution was laid on the table, —-4— 105. Mr. Alexander (N. Y.) secured considera- tion for a bill to suspend the federal laws against the sale of spiritous liquors to In- dians so far as they relate to the Indians of New York state, and substitute therefor the laws of the state. He explained that the purpose of the bill was to break up a practice by which for years Indians had conspired to obtain witness fees and mile- age to Albany, where they were tried for such offenses. Over $20,000 was annually taken out of the treasury for the payment of such fees. The bill was passed. Something of a Flurry. At this point Mr. Bailey, the democratic leader, created something of a flurry by rising to a question of personal privilege, in connection with his controversy with Speaker Reed at the close of the Cuban de- bate last Thursday. Mr. Bailey said he would not revive the controversy for the purpose of sustain- ing himself or showing that his adversary was wrong, as explanations in such cases did but little good, usually leaving the par- tisans of each only the more firmly con- vinced of the correctness of the position of his side. But, said he, an examination of the Record showed that there was an agreement that there should be a yea and nay vote on the motion to recommit 80 explicit and distinct that he felt it his duty to call it to the attention of the coun- try. The Record Rend. He then read at length the colloquy which took place between Mr. Williams (Miss.), Mr. Hitt and others as to the closing of the Cuban debate. When he finished by quoting Mr. Hitt’s last remark: “And it is understood, Mr. Chairman, that at 4 o'clock tomorrow there shall be but one yea and nay vote, that on a motion to recommit,” the democrats broke forth in applause. “That was precisely my statement,” con- tinued Mr. Bailey. “I do not desire to impute motives other than honorable ones to any one, for I am slow to charge false- hood or unfair dealing, but I do affirm that there has been either a misunderstanding or a misstatement.” Mr. Henderson (lowa) asked Mr. Bailey, as a lawyer with a full knowledge of what the Record contained, If he would say that the agreement set forth contemplated a motion to recommit that was not in order. Mr. Bailey insisted on answering the question in his own way. On the question of acknowledging Cuban belligerency, he said, the republicans during the debate had been urged by the gentleman from Illinois (Hitt) to leave it to the President. If they were ready to support that view he belleved they were ready to come to a direct vote, and his construction was that they~ were ready to face the direct issue. “Is there not a difference between a mo- tion to recommit and to recommit with in- structions?” “That is a mere quibble,” replied Mr. Bailey, amid democratic applause. Mr. Williams (Miss.) interrupted to say that there was no question about the fact that the motion was to be a motion to Tecommit with instructions. Mr. Henderson, who was not satisfied with Mr. Bailey's reply to his question, again called for an answer. “I ask the gentleman,” said he, “to re- ply, not from his philosophy or his breast or his theories, but-as a lawyer, a mem- ber of the House and a member. of the committee on rules, to say whether there is any statement in the Record which will justify any other presumption than that the motion to recommit was to be made under the rules.” “I had the right to make the motion —— the es replied Mr. Bailey. “The gentleman has answered m: es- tion,” said Mr. Henderson, “and I want to say that no understanding on the part of the gentleman from Texas or any one else could have cut out the right of myself or any other member to make the point of order upon any instructions which might not be proper under the rules of the gcire® : “It not cut you off,” retorted Mr. Bailey. “Enough republicans had profess- ed & willingness before the country to vote for the adoption of that resolution, and it was to save you either from defeat gt the hands of those dissatisfied republicans or to save them from em! ent at home AP barrassm that the agreement was violated. plause on the democratic side). The House then proceeded with the con- sideration of the Indian appropriation bill.

Some are richer than United States, had brought many calamities upon the land and that the results of such disregard had been disastrous and lamentable. He at- tributed the panic of 1893 directly to the disregard of the law. ’ Mr. Stewart said he ex; ted to show that the Secretary of the jury had no more authority to sell bonds and demand gold for them when there was coin in the treasury with which to redeem bonds than he (Stewart) had. had been sold, said Mr. Stewart, because the coin in the treasury was not the kind with which it was desired to pay the bonds. He main- tained that the law was mandatory upon the Secretary of the Treasury to redeem bonds in silver. Mr. Stewart declared that apologists of the administration advanced as their only argument in favor of the gov- ernment’s position that it was the estab- lished policy of the United States to main-|~ tain gold and silver at a parity with each other, as the law provides. “Such an argument,” said Mr. Stewart, “fs an insult to the common sense of the American people.” Violation of Law. “The plain fact is,” declared the Nevada senator, “that the executive department of this government has not in twenty years been guilty of a more evident violation of the law than is its refusal to pay the gov- ernment’s obligations in silver. Even the Indianapolis commission, which kno@s as little of finarce as it is possible for men to is know, admits that these obligations are payable in gcld or silver, at the option of the government.” Referring further along to the sale of the $262,000,000 of bonds by the administration of Mr. Cleveland, Mr. Stewart declared that in thy le of those bonds there had been a “steal” of $130,000,000 with the connivance of the executive. Yet, he maintained, no proper investigation of this unlawful trans- action had ever been made. The finance committee of the Senate had gone to New| York and asked some pertinent questions of J. Pierpont Morgan and August Belmont, but the committee had been treated prac- tically with contempt. The senator de- nounced it as a skame that no adequate investigaticr of the “steal’’ had ever been made-by Congress. Mr. Stewart said that when Carlisle came in as Secretary of the Treasury he at first proposed to pay the obligations of the government in silver. Mr. Platt (Conn.) asked Mr. Stewart what evidence he had that Secretary Car- lisle proposed to pay the government ob- ligations in silver. “T am not a prosecuting attorney,” re- plied the Nevada senator, “and have no authority to summon witnesses in sup- port of my statement, hence I do not sup- pose that I'm able to present absolute proof of the statement, but it was general- ly understood at the time to be true. Mc- Kinley could not have gotten enough votes to make a decent showing if he had not been announced as a bimetallist. Indeed, it was claimed throughout the west that McKinley was a better bimetallist than Bryan, because, it was further claimed, he had the only method by which bimetal- lism could be accomplished.” Mr. Stewart said that he had great re- spect for Mr. Gage, the Secretary of the Treasury, as he had the distinction at least of being honest in the expression of his opinions. He thought that if Mr. Gage were put out of the cabinet it would be for telling the truth, as he had evidently ecmmitted no otker offense. Mr. Nelson’s Amendment. Mr. Nelson (Minn.), at the conclusion of Mr. Stewart's speech, at 2 o'clock, offered the following amendment to the Teller res- olution: “And that it is the duty of the govern- ment of the United States, under existing law, to maintain the parity in value of its gold and silver money, so that the dollar of the one metal shall for all monetary purposes always be equal in value to the dollar of the other metal.” The consideration of bills on the pension calendar was then begun. The following bills, general in their provisions, were pass- ed: Defining and regulating proof in certain pension cases; to supplement the act of June 27, 1890, as to pensions by making widows whose husbands died in the service persionable under the act. ‘Washable Check Silks, as many sizes and combinations width and a special’ value at...... eerie 22-inch Black.’Chi neither to slip nor is there are colors—good ja Silk, a rich, soft, lustro The newest coinbinations in High-grade Changesble Taffetas.

Provisions of the Bill of Represen- tative Stone. A bill to authorize the coinage of sub- sidiary silver coin from silver bullion pur- chased under the act of July 14, 1890, and the recoinage of uncurrent subsidiary sil- ver coin in the treasury, has been intro- duced in the House by Chas. W. Stone of Pennsylvania. It authorizes the Secretary of the Treasury to coin any such silver bullion in the treasury into such denomina- tions of subsidiary silver coin as may be necessary to meet the public requirements and any gain or seignorage arising from such coinage is to be accounted for and paid into the treasury. An amount of treasury notes issued under that act equal to the first coinage o buillion so used is to be canceled and not reissued. Anotker bill introduced by Mr. Stone amends the Revised Statutes, fixing the amount that may be allowed the coiner and melter and refiner of the coinage mints and assay office at New York for the wast- age of gold. It allows as necessary was:- age the difference in the amount charged and credited to each officer as to all coins, DOMESTICS. ‘There's not much of an cbb or flow in the prices of Domestics.
