It was utterly impossibleto cons debate the bill cavefully in the few days allowed by the rig- orous rule reported by the committes on rules.

A number of other amendments by Mr. MeKinley were adopted Outhwaite of Ohio attacked the drawback feature of the bill, deelaring it would be for the interest of the Standard oil company Mr. MeKinley calied attention to the ffact i the Forty-cighth congress the demo- crats of the committee on ways and rought in a bill providing for a d not of % pr cent, but of 100 per eent. My, Outhwaite asked for nition, but Mr. Sweney of Towa wes recoguized by the ch Mr. Mills of Texas thought some democ should be recognized. The chair [Grosvenor] said he had nized toduy seventeen democrats and s republicans. Mr. Sweney rema that the democr: party of Ohio was a friend of the Standard oil company. M. Outhwaite challenged the gentleman to show what legislation the democratic Ohio legislature had ever pussed for the benefit of the Standard oil compan, M. Sweney suggested that the Standa oil company legislated a democratic into the United States senate, Mr. Outhwaite denied the accusation. Mr. Outhwaite offered an amendment to the drawbaclk paragraph providing that a rebate should not be paid on tin used in the transpor- tation of petroleum or coal oil.

Mr. Breckinridge of Kentucky shoutc out to the chairman that it was not fair to ig nore & man who had been publicly attacked and let the man speak who made himself the ex ry and he sponsor of the slanderer, Amid intense excitement M.

Equestrian statues almest encumbered the city of Washington. He had hoped that when the great bridge across the Potomac at Arlington (crossing the boundary line be- tween the two sections of the country) was erccted, as it would be, that a suitable memorial would be placed upon it of Lincoln and Grant, Mr. Edmunds hoped that, however, inade- quate in a long and final sense, this equestri statue might be, and_however much congress might desire, by-and-by, on some memorial bridge or arch to pay further respect to Grant's memory, that this simple thing be doue now He moved to omit the word “equestrian,” and this was agreed to. The bill was furcher amended by increasing the appropriation to 00,000 and passed. After an executive session the scuate ad- journed. ENGAGED. ————— EXPLORER STANLEY The Great African Traveler at La Meets His Aflinity. [Copyright 18% by James Gordon Bennett.} Loxnoy, Muy 17.—-[New York Herald Cable—Special to Tue Bre]—Stanley has made a new and rapid conquest, a marriage having been arranged between him and Miss Dovothy Teimant. The lady is well known, not only in socicty, but to the world at la as aclever artist, She has for some years past been almost @ protege of Baroness Bur- dette-Coutts, and it was at her house, nearly four and a half years ago, that Stanley met Miss Tenmant. Stanley has declaimed, times numerable, that his mission in life was not to be able to talk to women, From the first day he was presented to his future bride by the baroness, he scemed to find in the quictude of Miss Tennant's society that haven of rest which is now rarely his Tt will no doubt be news to the people of th country and America to hear that three day before Stanley departed upon his perilous mission to find Emin Pasha he proposed to Miss Tennant and wasduly accepted by her. Baroness Burdette-Coutts and some half a dozen near friends were informed of the en- wagement, but all were sworn to the strictest secréey until such time as the lovers should deem fit to make their engagement, public proparty. How well these fow privileged friend’ have kept their trust may be judged from the fact that nealy four year: have passed, and not one word has escaped During the years Stanley has been absent from home in Afvica Miss Ten- nant and her lover have been regular corre- spondents. As far as the dificulties of postal ments would permit cach mail than has brousht letters from the explorer to the Emin Pasha velief committee has also con tained a lengthy budget to Stanley’s lady love in Richmond Tervace, It i8 openly stated that Miss Tennant has now in her ssion more written fucts of the dangers, privations and discoveries of the Stanley expedition that even the velief committee are aware of or the public can even guessat. Itseemed somewhat strange to some people that Stanley should, when first putting foot on London soil after his return to this country, drive dircet to Jurcness Burdette-Coutts’ house in Stratton strect, The mystery is now explained, us some one as precious as existence to Stanley was waiting for his coming. That some one was Miss Dorothy Tennant. Tt has for weels past been a noticeable fact that one of Stan- ley's most interested listeners at his lectnres has been Miss Dorothy Tennant, the avtist author, Amongst the frieuds of this engaged couple the question most widely usked is: What will the future Mrs Stanley do when her husbund again goes to Afvicut On Monday Miss with some friends was put to her. Tl safed was asking: “Is he'is going out again?' Then it is stated that Stanley will be offered the post of governor of Afric Tonight Miss ‘Pennant was present at Tur ner's dinner at e Canuon street hotel with Stanley and received many good wishes for her future happiness, Miss Dorothy Teanant is a Charles Tennaut.

FILL THE BILL. A Dozen Aspirants Clamoring for the Place—Senator Mauderson Will Not Resign—Palmer for Gov- ernor of Michigan, 513 FOURTEENTH STREET, WasniNaroy, D, C., May 17, There is no doubt that the democrats in- tend to use at least liberal portions of the tariff specches made in the house by Mr. Butterworth of Ohio as an avgument against the McKinley tariff bill and as a campalga document, Mr. Outhwaite, the leading democrat in the Ohio delegation, during the debate this after- noon, quoted Mr. Butterworth copiously and the citations were vigorously applauded on the democratic side. The republicans showed their position by groaning at the idea of pre- nting Mr. Butterworth’s argument as rep- resentative republican views, With ex-Speaker Cardisle out of the house the democrats are without a leader. Duving all of this week the absence of Mr. Carlisle has been painfully noticeable in the tariff de- bate, as it left the democrats without even an apology for a leader. Some times six or eight democrats who as- pire to the leadership were upon theic feet, all talking at one and the same time, ‘and each contradicting the other, Mr. Mills has none of the elements of leadership, if for no other reason than because he cannot secure the confidence of his side of the house. oThe Breckinridges are not studious, while Mr. McMillin of Tennessee and Mr. Blount of Georgin and Mr. Springer of Illinois, who would like to be leaders, are too flighty to er become leaders. During the exciting ene in the house today the democratic side was completely off its feet, never at any time: having its head, and from this time forward the democrats will fare better when they have the least debate and will always suffer on an occasion de- manding a leader. It is probable that there will be a conference with a view to ochoosing a successor to Mr, Cavlisle, but owing to the fact that there are nearly a dozen who would like to be the leader and that no one of them is willing to yield to the other, the situation will at present continue indefinite, MANDERSON WILL NOT RESIGN. Senator Manderson authorizes Tiur Bree correspondent to state that the rumor in Ne- braska that he may resign and be appointed minister to Spain or any other place is with- out any foundation whatever. He intends to remain in his position, It has been reported here that the Spanish mission has been ten- dered to Senator Manderson, but was not ac- cepted, WasHiNeToN Bureau Tie Osana Bee, } NOT OUT OF POLITICS. Ex-Senator Thomas W. Palmer, who has for over a year been our minister to Spain and who tendered his r<sfgnation yesterday, left for his home. at Jetroit today. His friends say o will im :ledlately become a candidate for the nomina:ion for governor of Michigan, notwithstanding that he says he is out of the race, and they anticipate an easy v for him. When he landed in New York there were four candidates in the field, but when he left here today the number was reduced to three and it isstated that before the convention meets it is likely he will be soli- tary and alone for the fponors, and that he ceive the nominakion by acclumation, The governorship of Miéhigan is considered the highest honor which the state can con- fer, and is always preferred to the senator- ship.

Such, however, is'a fact, as the Herald correspondent discovered on dropping in at the mecting in question, Tho very cozy house was ablaze with light and the rooms were erowded with stdents from all parts of America, many of whom had never scen each other before, but who scemed very glad to meet cach other, Among those present were: A.

Aggressive Declaration Supposed to be Almed at Russia, [Copyright 1890 by the New Yorl Assoclated Press.) Beruy, May 17.—The emperor's utte ances at Koenigsberg suficed to irvitate th Russian government and to dispel all illu: sions regarding the possibility of a rencwal of the entente with Russia. The newspapers here ininimized the vefer- ence to war in the speech of Wednesday, but yesterday his final utterance when leaving contained an allusion which it is impossible to misunderstand. 1 shall not allow," said the emperor, “my provinces here in the east to be touched Those attacking them -will find that my strength is that of a rock.” As Russia is the only possible frontier assailant of east Prussia, his wards,especially in view of their following his first aggressive declaration, are now interpreted here, as in St. Petersburg, as aimed against Russi; The Svet treats them as a direct and un- provoked threat. The Grashdansn urges the czar's ministers to consider whether the speech is consonant with further arrange- ments to receive Emperor William at Krasnor Izelo. The Novoe Vremya holds that the words of the emperor had overstepped proper Dbounds and that they ought to be officially noticed. ‘Within official cireles the emperor's deliver- ance caused no surprise in view of the ad- vices from Paris, pointing to closer relations between the French and Russian foreign offices, Whatever may be the czar's opinion of the value of a French alliance the czar” dvisors cultivate it. His uncle, the grand duke Nicholas,left Paris last evening aftera prolonged stay, during which he responded to the assiduous courting of Mr. Ribot, the minister of foreign affairs, and other officials with eager cordiality. The grand duke's last act before leaving Franc was to wire effusive regrets to the admir commanding the French Mediterranean squadron over the death of Admiral DuPetit Thouars, Some time ago the late admiral was a guest on board a Russian war ship, when the grand duke toasted the navies of Irance and Russia. Another pregnant fact is Chanceller C: privi’s announced design to place one or two new army corps on the Russian froutier, The emperor did not without forethought ay terday that if obliged to draw the sword those who troubled his peace would find German blows as heavy as they were twenty years ago. Both speeches contained a veiled but emphatic declaration of the solid- ity of the treibund and the vigilance of its chiefs against the common enemy. The commission on the army bill met today General Von Caprivi desires to hasten the passage of the measure, The temper of the veichstag corresponds with the composition of the commission and will harmonize with the demands of the government and the house will accord the full credits asked. The chancellor’s appearance in the reichstag in the army debate enhanced the good imp sion previously produced by him, His adroit- ness in evading ticklish points is concealed by an apparent frankness of manner and ageneral bonhommie of style which make his speeches pleasant even to opponents, He can joke too with effect, For instance, terduy he provoked the reichstag to bursts of laughter by picturing soldiers driven from their old habits of love making by the neces- sary aceuracy in military education. *You see no more on the streets of Berlin,” he said, “soldicrs promenading with their dear friends. On Sunday you may mect some, but time fuils them to cultivate the joy duving the week.” The tone of the debates improved in every section of the house. The influence of Capr thods ave percepti ble. The speeches of socialists and freisin- nige members alike are less embittered and are listened to with greater attention and a most mavked increase of respect. The budget committee, which has charge of the colonial estimates, has practically ap- proved them, The progress of Major Wiss- mann will accelerate the conmmittee’s de- cision, Latest reports from Major Wissmann an- nounce the occupation of the country from Lindi to Mikindi without fighting and the general submission of the Arab chiefs of the region toward the Rovuma river. Wissmann is hopeful of soon securing an open route to La Nyanza. His arms will render safe caravan routes to the mission stations. Mujor Licoert's statement of the certainty of splendid realization from German ments in east Afvica will assist in the ultimate approval of the army bill by two-thirds of the whole house. He reports at Bagamoys that there is an immense boom in the ivory trade, and the ness and a general rush of prosperity under the German flag. The prospective value of the territovies confirms the course of the gov- ernment in refusing to concede the English claims whereby the Germans would be cut oft from contact with the Cor Major Lie- bert in a conference with the « r urged that in future Central Africa rmany if the existing influence were maintained, Bismarck is viritated over the pr statements with reference to his relations with the emperor, with whom he maintains friendly connections, Count Von Waldersee will go Lorraine to arrange the detai!s fo of the military along the frontier The socl a cent in Ger has undoubtedly invest- seeuring plantation busi state, voulil belong to lines of German S8 mis- to Alsace an inerease list association here is organizing al strike union, in which every trade nany will bo represented, 'Iie union is designed to counteract the tection association mow mployers' pr being formed convention of testile manufac ot in June to discuss the labor troubles.
