LAST HOURS OF CONGRESS Great Loss of Time the Ohief Characteristic Now. | DEMOCRATS ENGAGE IN SPEECHMAKING | BMr. O'Ferrall of Virginia Indalges in Some Campaign Oratory of a Very fndiffer- ‘ ent Charncter tested Election Case. Discussed a Con- Wasnixarox Boneav or Tar Bes, } FOURTEENTH STREET. | Wasnmxarox, D. C., Feb, 28 | Pleturesque confusion, great loss of time and an utter absence of iegislation outside | of the appropriation bills, promise to be the chief characteristics of the closing hours of the inglorious Fifty-secoud congress. This 1se spent more was shown today when the ho than one of its precious hours in considering the customary payment of salary to the widow of a deceased employe. In the senate | also the same reluctance to trausact busi- | ness was shown By two decisive votes Senator She an's efforts to bring a it an cxe tive session | were defea The purpose of preventing an extra session was to kill by indecision the confirmation of Ben Hauchett as Judge of the circuit court and the considera tion of the Hawaiian treaty of annexation Incidentally, also, by fighting against an | extra session, the democrats may prevent the confirmation of Lieutenant Dapray, military secretary to Secretary Elk s a major i the paymaster's corps of the army. The | opposition to Lieutenant Daps is not | personal, bnt is based upon the usual objec tion to the promotion of army officers over the heads of their elders. merely because ‘ assignment to duty in W brought them into close | with the scoretary of war. The time of the scnate is now almost ex- | clusively occupied with the consideration of | appropriation bills. Almost the entire dav was spent in passing the naval appropriation | Bill which was sent back to the house. It | includes the item for 00,000 for the inter- national naval review in Hampton roads In the House. shington has rsonal contact | The house spent most of the day overa contested ction case, the discussion of | which, the republican minority recognizing | the incvitable, left almost wholly to the | democrats. The chief feature of such de- | bate as there was consisted of u bombastic democratic campaign oration by Mr. O'Fer- rall, the Virginia democrat who wishes to be governor of that state, and whose chief fame rests upon his conduct in _leading t filibusterers last house. A against Speaker | wumber of other southert democrats made untamed speeches full of | such extravagant assertions as that a “ma- Jority of the negroes of the south are de cratic voters ! Late in the afternoon Chairman Springer of the ways and means committee called up | and had passed the bill repealing that sec- | tion of the McKiunley act which places a tax of 4 centsa pound on all Casserite block pig and bar tin after the 1st of next July The bill, though a democratic revenue measure, will be heartily supported by Mr. Dalzell and other republicans, and Senator | Allison has given assurance that it shall pass the scnate Will Not Remove Officeholders. Word has been received uere from Lake- wood that Mr. Cleveland 1s determined to live up in at least one respect to some of the high sounding sentiments regarding a *busi ness administration” that have been credited to him. It has been learned here that in no | case willa republican officeholder be re- | moved before the expiration of his term on | purely political grounds. There will be no | removals except for cause. An’officeholder whose record has shown him to be notori- | ously incompetent or derelict will of course | be removed as soon as Mr. Cleveland can find | f Zatime 1o dispose of his case. J. Milton Turner's Song. J. Milton Turner, a colored politjcian from, St. Louis, who was President Grant's min- ister to Liberia, but who has since then, for | snod and substantial reasons, become an ar- | ent Cleveland democrat, is here ready to | serve his country. Turner claims that he called on President-elect Cleveland at Lake- ‘wood the other day aud discussed with him | the subject of Hawaiian annexation. He quotes Mr. Cleveland as strongly favoring annexation, and says that his inaugural ad- dress will contain unmistakable allusions to the Hawaiian treaty now pending in the sen- ate. Mr. Turner adds thatin case Hawaii is annexed he will be its first territorial gov- ernor. New Long-Distance Telephone. Letters patent were today issued to Charles M.Haynes ofOmaha upon a long-distanoe elec: tric télephone system which will likely mark a new epoch in the telephone business, The Haynes inventions are intended to perfect the weak points in the general principles of | long-distance telephoning, by providing a re- | peater, similar in idea to the repeaters which | are provided for telographing. Telephone | lines as at present equipped have transmit- ting and receiving instruments at each end of a single circuit througn which the eleotri- cal - indulations are transmitted uvinter- rupted from one instrument to the other Ordinarily within certain distances the electric pulsations are transmitted unim- paired, but there are disturbing ele- ments which interfere with the transmission of the electric undulations and finally limit | the use of the telephone to short distances These impairments are overcome by the Haynes inveutions. He places duplex re- Jeaters on the line in such u way us to break t up into a number of smaller independent circuits. Thus a very long circuit may be reinforced so as to operate as a short circuit. Disturbing influences are overcome by these faventions and the distance having been an- nibilated by them it looks as though long ,» distance telephoning would become 4 per- foct success.

Several of the senators have received tele- grams from letter carriers and others inter. ested, urging the adoption of the proposed amendment. Senator Palmer of Tllinois expresses him- self as a supporter of the proposition. It is the present expectation that the postoftice bill will come up for consideration in the senate tomorrow, and Senator Palmer said this evening that he thought the chances for the favorable action on the amendments were reasonably fair.

Motion to Go Into Exeoutive Session Defeated in the Renate. o MANY REPUBLICANS REFUSE TO VOTE Passage of the Naval Appropriation Bill Mr. Hale and Mr. Vo teresting Conversation Work In the House. rhees Have an In- Yesterday's Wasmixetox, D. C. Feb. 28.—The republi- can side of the senate was subjected to great mortification today in its defeat by the mi- nority side of the chamber on a motion which divided the two parties into opposite camps. It was on a motion to proceed to ex ecutive business. Mr. Sherman made it, and said that a brief executive session was imperative, but he could not give the reason THE motion was defeated. When the re- sult was announced and when it was ascer. tained that no republican senator had voted in the negative, but that severalof them who were not paired had not voted, there was a private exhibition of disappointment among the republicans who had That feeling found expression in the remark, “We might as well give the senate over to the democrats.” A renewal of the attempt iple of hours afterwards met with a like fat It was beaten by a majority of two, The important features of the day sion were the passage of the naval and agri cultural appropriation bill, and of the bill regulating the sale of intoxicating liquors in the District of Columbia House bill extending for one year the time for filing petitions in the courtof private land claims was reportea and passed, also senate joint resolution authorizing the loan of the portraits of the chief justices of the United States for exhibition at the World's Columbian exposition Naval Appropriation Bill. vote The naval appropriation bill was taken up, the amendments reported from the commit- tee on appropriations first being acted upon The first amendment that elicited discussion was the one near the end of the bill appry priating 300,000 for the expenses of the international rendezvous andreview Information as to the necessity of priating so large a sum wus asked Ve He was told by Mr. Hale, in charge of the bill, that invitations had been extended to foreign nations_to send ships to participate in the review. It would be an imposing and stately spectacle. A large item of exy would be the employment of temporary sea men—the navy being now up” for me Another considerable item would be the matter of salutes. He could not give in detail the pu for which the money would be used Mr. Cockrell re apy by Mr poses d and commented upon communication from the New York Chamber of Comwerce, signed by Mr. Henry Villard as chairman, asking the aid of congress in the entertainment in New York of foreign visitors to the World's fair: and he asked Mr. Hale whether the $300,000 proposed to be appropriated included anything for that “illustrious and magnificent proposition Mr. Hale replied that he did not know ex- actly what was wanted by the New York gentlemen who were represented by Mr. Vil- lard, but he had the impression that the wanted the government to do some of the New York entertainment of foreign visitors Opposed Villard's Requests, “Why," said Mr. Cockrell, “the senator from Maine does not suspect that these gen- tlemen are asking that the people’s money, wrung from them by taxation, shall be placed in the hands of millionaires of New York to be expended in the riotous entertain- igner who may land on our shores?" ** Idon’t know about that,” said Mr. Hale, “the senator from Missouri can tell me more about Mr. Villard than I can tell him. Mr. Villard is a gentleman well known and favorably known throughout the country. He stands today as a very near representa- tive of the new reform administration. I do not know that he has asked for anything or that his New York friends have asked for anything to come out of the taxes paid by the people, but whether he hasor has not he does not come to us. At all events the government does not, of course, propose to do New York's entertainment. We cannot keep Mr. Villard from coming here with his memorial. He has a right to come and make his suggestions.” Mr. Voorhees, democrat from Indiana— f{t- would have a right to pass around the hat? Mr. Hale—Yes. Mr. Voorhees—And to take up contribu- tions? Mr. Hale—Yes. Mr. Voorhees—Or resort to any form of mendicancy? Mr. Hale—Yes. Mr. Daniel, democrat from Virginia— Would they be willing to accept silver as a contribution? Mr. Hale—The senator should seek some other source of authority than me, or than senators on this side of the chamber. All these things about reform and about easing the people’s burdens, about currency and about bonds, do not seem settled yet.” They will be settled in another place; and I send the senator to that plac 1 do not know anything about it Agreed to the Appropriation. After further discussion the appropr of §300,000 was agroed to with the words * other s0 much thereof as may be necessary,” added to it The whole amendment was then agreed to, as was also the next amendment appro- priating §6,800 for army expenses incident to the naval review The amendment for the construction of four light draft protected gun boats (instead of one, as provided in the till) was agreed 10, without question. This completed action on the amendments reported by the committee on appropriations and general amendments were then in order. Mr. Squire moved to increase the appro- priation for the dry dock at Puget sound from §220,000 to 8300.000. Agreed to. The bill was then passed. Mr. Sherman moved to go into executive session. He said that he could not give the reason why it was important now to have an executive session, butit would be brief. The yeas and nays were demanded on the democratic side and the motion was dis- ugreed to—yeas. 27; nays, 20; a strict party vote. The result seemed to surprise the republi can senators, several of whom went to the clerk’s desk to examine the roll call, where they found that their side had been defeated simply because some senators had not voted ana were not paired. One of them showed his aunoyance by remarking at the clerk's desk that “We inay as well turn the senate over to the democrats at once.’ The senate then resumed consideration of “unfinished business,” being the house bill regulating the sale of intoxicating liquors in the District of Columbia. It was passed— yeas, 41; nays, 1. De ated for the S8econd Time. A motion was then made to go into execu tive session.

The greater part of the day was consumed in the con sideration of an election case, in which there was no interest manifested. After three hours' debate, Turpin, democrat, from the “ourth district of Alabama, was declared entitled to retain the seat which he has oc- cupied since the opening of the present con gress, and his contestant, McDuffie, was de- ed not to have been duly elected. The most important action was sage, without opposition, of the bill uing pig tin and ore on the free list The house, after agreeing to the conference report on the diplomatic and consular P priation bill, proceeded to the Alabama con- tested election case of McDuffie vs Turpin, theumajority report being in favor of Turpin, the sitting member.

Lugas, attor: the St. Clair county judges im- priso in the county jail, sued out a writ of habeas corpus at 8:30 o'clock requiring them to be brought before Judge Phillips in United States circuit court in chambers for the reason that they were wrongfully justly and illegally detained in prison The petition praying for the writ goes into the details of the case and recites how St Clair county voted bonds twenty-five ago for a railrond that was never built; how the bonds fell into the hands of the Ninth National bank of New York. an innocent purchaser; how the supreme court of the United States declared that the bonds must be paid: how Judge Phillips of the United Re- ey for un- ears States district court ,ordered the county Judges to make a speial tax levy to pay the bonds; how the judges declined to obey the order ‘and how Judge Phillips had them im prisoned for contempt. Tue petition says also that the county court was powerless to comply with the order to make a tax levy, because it would be disobeying the statutes of Missouri in so doing, and right here it was in conflict with state and_federal statutes spoken of by overnor Stone in his'message to the legis- lature a few days ago, The statutes of Mis- souri provide that to make a tax levy of the kind asked for the cotmty attorney has ask the state circuit sourt to make to the county court commanding it to make such levy. The petitloner contends this has never been done, and, as the county court is powerless to make a levy withou? it, Judge Phillips’ order canno} bé obeyed. It is the county attorney and the circuit court who are to blame and who"8tould be imprisoned if any one, say the petitioners, Judge Phillips granted the writ, return- able Thursday. e MACKAY AND HIN ASSAILANT. Both Men, it is Now Said, Will Recover from Thelr Wounds SaN Fraxcisco, Cal., Feb. 28.—Wesley C Rippey, the old man who shot John W.- Mackay in the back last Friday and then shot himself, will live. Today when a re- porter interviewed him his hitherto pallid cheeks had @ healthy color in them, while his eyes were bright and his demeanor thatof a convalescent. For the first time since the shooting he consented to talk freely about his past life. He talked not at all like a crank, but rather like a man who is disgusted with life and does not care how soon he leaves the world. When told he would probably get well, he | turned wearily over on his back and smd. “I am sorry for that. 1 don't cgre,” he contin- ued, ‘‘how soon I die, because there is noth- ing in life for me. If I get well1 will have to go to the pen, and if Mackay dies they will probably hang me. I had nothing particular against Mackay, except that he was one of the four men who robbed poor men. I never had any trouble in my life with rich men, except with Flood. On May 1, 1884, 1 went mto the Nevada bank to ask him why I had to pay §1,800 in assessments on 100 shares of Uiah mining stock. He called me a loafer, and ordered me kicked out of his office. 1 left bef that was done, but I vowed to get even. That is all past and gone now, but in regard to this present matter 1 wish to say that the end is not yet.” Dr. Keeney when seen today said that Mr. Mackay had passed a very good night. The wound was in a splendid condition. ———— You should keep Salvation Oil on hand; it will cure all aches and paius. Price 25c —— They Will Be Deported.

Feb At 1 morning a wall of a building in Halstead street, which was lately burned, was blown | down and crashed through a two-story brick | building adjoining, occupied by the famil of John Smith, a saloonkeeper, and Jame Kunz, a jeweler.

The building which collapsed was owned by John York, a large dealer in dry goods and was destroyed by fire a few weeks ago. It was five stories high, nearly 150 feet deep | and had a heavy frout of white stone. York began to rebuild immediately after the fire, and as not all of the walls were down he had built the new wall on the top of the remai ing old one. Itis supposed that the green wall was not sufficiently braced, altnough York said that both the contractor and him- self believed it to be entirely secure. It Was Blowing a Gale. The weath, during the early part of the evening was calmn, with a little rain falling but about 11 p. m. the wind began to rise and by midnight it had increased to a gale The high walls of the York building began to shake in the wind. A policeman who passed in front of it shortly before it fell in- formed the Canal Port station that he thought it would bear watchin He was told to look ut it closely, and if in hie mind there was any danger to warn the occupants of the neighboring buildings to move out. He turned back to the building, ana when within 200 feet of it there was a deafening roar, a large white dust cloud, a successio of shrieks from the building occupied by the Smith and Kunz families id it was over. Word was at once sent the Canal Port station and the patrol wagon and the wagons from the Maxwell street and Thirty-fifth street stations were at once sent to the rescue. Fire ln the Ruins, Before the aid from Canal Port avenue station could arrive the ruins of the demol- ished building caught fire from the stove and began to blaze furiously. The efforts of the fire department, which had also re- sponded to the alarm, were enough to extin- guish the blaze without much dificulty, and the work of rescue was begun under the direction of Chief Swencke, kept pouring a steady stream of water upon the ruins, and the police began hastily to dig into the debris. The Kunz family occupied the upper portion of the building and the first body found was that of Mrs. Kun: whose head had been crushed by a falling veam. Close beside her lay the body of her husband, his white night clothes dyed red with the lifeblood that had flowed from a dozen fearful cuts ia his head ard body.
