OTHER MATTERS IN THE SENATE Vilas Seeks to Secure the Appointment of Two Extra Military Cadets in Each State. WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. 17.—In the Senate to-day the Senatorial election case from the State of Delaware was reported back from the Committee on Privileges and Elections by Mitchell (R.) of Oregon, its chairman, the report being in favor of the right of Dupont to the seat. The views of the minority, adverse to that proposi- tion, are to be submitted to-morrow and the question is to he taken up fer the ac- tion of the Senate as soon as possible. Hoar (R.) of Massachusetts in present- ing a petition from Marc Shipley for the establishment of the 24th of June, the anniversary of the discovery of the North American coast by John and Sebastian Cabot in 1497, as a National holidav, asked Hill (D.) of New York as to the commiittee to which he thought it should be referred. He remarked that the bill to make Lin- coln’s birthday a National holiday had been reported from the Committee on Li- brary, while Hill's bill for a Jackson day had been referred to the Judiciary Com- mittee. Hill's reply was that in his opinion all | of the bills on the subject should be re- red to the Judiciary Committee, and he gested that the Lincoln bill now on the calendar should be sent to that commit- He expressed a doubt whether Con- gress had the power to establish any Na- PHIA, Pa pice works of P.

Hale (R.) of Maine, the author of the Lincoin holiday bill, objected to 1ts being taken from the calendar and referred. Hoar’s petition, however, was referred to the Judiciary Committee, as Hill’s had been. A resolution was offered by Allen (Pop.) of Nebraska, and was agreed to, calling on the Secretary of the Treasury for informa- | tion as to the amounts in the treasnry on March 4, 1889, and March 4, 1893; whether there has been any diminution of reve- nue, and if so from what source. Morgan (D.) of Alabama offered a reso- lution, which was agreed to, calling on the Secretary of the Treasury for reports of treasury agents in the year of 1594 as to hunting and destruction of fur seals on the Privyloff Islands and in Bering Sea. A message was received from the House of Representatives notifving the Senate that ite amendment to the House bond bill—the free coinage substitute—had been disagreed to by the House. The sugges- tion as to the conference was made. A resolution was offered by Mitchell (R.) of Oregon, on the subject of the salmon fishery industry on the Columbia River, and Mitchell gave notice that he would submit remarks on the subject at an early dste. Vest (D.) of Missouri called up the lets ter from the SBecretary of Agriculture in re- ply to his resolution as to cattle quarantine lines in Texas and the Southwestern States and addressed the Senate in opposition to the views of the Secretary. The Secre- tary’s letter was referred to the Committee on Transportation and Sale of Meat Products. The resolution reported on the 20th of January by*Davis (R.) of Minnesota, from the Committee on Foreign Relations, rela- tive to the application and enforcement of the Monroe doctrine, was laid before the Senate. The resolution, omitting the pre- amble, is in these words: Resolved, By the Senate (the House of Repre- sentetives concurring) that the United States of America reaflirms and confirms the doctrine and principles promulgated by President Mon- roe in his message of December 18, 1823, and declares that it will assert and maintain that doctrine eud those principles and will regard any infringement thereof, and particularly any attempt by any, European power to take or additional territory on the American continents, or any islands adja- cent thereto, or any right of sovereignty or do- minion in the same in any case or 1nstance as to which the United States shall deem such at- tempt to be dangerous to its peace or safety, or by or through force, purchase, cession, occu- pation, pledge, colonization, protectorate or by control of the easement in any canal or any other means of transit across the American 1sthmus, whether under unfounded preten- sion of right in cases of alleged boundary dis- putes or under any other unfounded preten- sions, as the manifestation of an uniriendly disposition toward the United States and as an interposition which it would be impossible in any form for the United States to regard with indifference. Davis proceeded to address the Senate in support of the resolution. He apologized in advance if e should appear too prolix iu his discussion of the corigin of the Mon- roe doctrine, its character and nature, the upon that point Dupont received fifteen votes out of the whole number entitled to be cast, and was legally Slected Senator from the State of Delaware for the full term commencing March 4, 1¢95, and is entitled to be seat 4 The of the minority of the com- mittee adverse to these conclusions will be presented by Senator Gray from the State in_contest. e RN SE A4 CLAIM AGAINST PERU. It Has Been Pressed Constantly by This Government. WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. 17.—The President to-day sent to the Senate the reply of the BSecretary of State to a Senate resolution calling for infor- mation concerning the claim against Peru of Thomas W. Sparrow and others, members of the. Hydrographic Commis- sion of the Amazon employed by the Gov- ernment of Peru, for compensation for their services on the commission. The correspondence, which continues over a period from 1877 down to the present, shows that this Government has con- antly pressed the claims upon the atten- n of the Peruvian Government. E yonr chenge of business or residence to Crocker-Langley Directory, 215 Bush st, * various phases of the National existence to which it bad been applied and to some extent the present controversy. The Monroe doctrine might be fairly summed up as follows: That the Ameri- can continents were not to be considered as subject to future colonization by any European power; that the United States should consider any attempt on the part of such powers to extend their system to any portion of the hemisphere as danger- ous to the peace and safety of the United States, and that any interposition by a Buropean power for the purpose of op- pressing auy of the people on the conti- nent should be considered as thegnanifes- tation of an unirienaly disposition toward the United States. Davis then quoted from diplomatic cor- respondence relative to Cuba dating from early 1n this century down to the present day to show that the Monroe doctrine had been invoked and applied. This Govern- ment had declared on various occasions when tle possible sale by Spain of that island was hinted at that it would not per- wit the transfer of Cuba to any other gov- ernment, and yet no one had ever asserted that this advanced position was a viola- tion of the Monroe doctrine. Davis, quoting from history, showed that the Monroe doctrine had been in- voked time and again, the mostnotable instance of recent years being, Davis eaid, during the conduct of the present admin- istration toward the recently instituted republic of Hawaii. This Government was at that time attempting to reseat a barbarous Queen on an overturned throne. If it was proper to assert the doctrine then Davis thought it was equally proper in the case under discussion. Venezuela was now under duress by Great Britain and ber own will in such a settlement could not, Davis believed, be exercised. Speaking of the character of the South American republics, Davis said the weaker they were the more dangerous would be the aggressions of foreign powers to our peace and safety. Referring to the question of arbitration, Davis said it was to be seriously hoped that arbitration would be realized. It was the natural tendency of all Gcivilized peoples and nations. In another explanation of the text of the resolution Davis said that the word “pledge” as used in that resolution had been used designedly. A pledge meant the hypothecation of territory for the pay- ment of a debt. It had been currently reported in the press that Spain, secking a loan from Great Britain, had offered the isiand of Cuba, or a portion of it, as se- curity for her loan. At the conclusion of Davis’ speech the Senate took up the military academy ap- propriation bill. There was no discussion of any items in toe bill, but when all the committee amendments were disposed of an amend- ment was presented by Vilas (D.) of Wis- consin for the appointment by the Presi- dent of two adaitional cadets at large for each State, aggregating ninety cadets in sddition to the present number. The amendment was advocated by Proctor (R.) of Vermont and Eikins (R.) of West Virginia, both of them ex-Secretaries of War; also by Hawley (R.) of Connecticut, while Allen (P.) of Nebraska urged that the appointments for each State should be in the hands of its two Senators. ‘Without reaching any conclusion the Senate at 5:25 r. . adjourned untii to- morrow. WAS 0T PROVIDED FOB, So Mrs. Maud D. Beekman Went to Fargo and Secured a Divorce. She Is the Daughter of Superintendent Conlin of the New York Police. FARGO, N. D., Feb. 17.—1n chambers to-day Judge Rose granted to Mrs. Maud D. Beekman a decree of absolute divorce from Albion B. Beekman of New York. The ground upon which the action was brought was non-support, and in connec- tion with this there are many peculiar cir- cumstances. There was no appearance on the part of the defendant, and the pro- ceedings in the little court were void of the usual amount of sehsationalism which generally -accompanies divorces of this nature. The plaintiff is the daughter of Superin- tendent of Police Conlin of New York, and from that fact alone the case has at- tracted an unusual amount of interest. The depositions that were taken recite some very pitiful tales of how the yonng woman struggled in the large city to keep up appearances. Before Conlin became chief of the police he secured a position for young Beckman in the department, but even with a good position and a lovely home, which is situated at 127 West One Hundred and Twentieth street, he could not even pay for the living expenses. The plaintiff is a pretty little woman about 25 years of age, and she attracted no little attention in this city. Already rumors are afloat that she is to weda prominent dentist, baving fallen in love with him since she came to this city. His name is Dr. F. L. Starling, and he is a man of good family and of good standing throughout the entire Northwest. CTPg e FREE MASONS OF KANSAS.

NEW YORK, N. Y., Feb. 17.—A dis- patch from Australia was published a few days ago announcing that James McMa- hon had died, leaving an estate yalued at $15,000,000. The dispatch was read by James Duffy and his sister, Mrs. Robert Gardner of Brooklyn, who believe that McMahon was an uncle who lived in Aus- tralia and accumulated a vast fortune. They are now taking steps to find out whether or not they are entitled toa po- tion of the fortune. = *McMahon was a native of Ireland and 1 1848 was thrown into prison for perjury &nd assauit. Afterward he was trans- ported to Australia to serve a seven years’ term, and at the end of a year was put on a parole by the Queen on accout of good conduct. After his release he became a member of the mounted squad of police, and, saving his earnings, engaged in sheep raising, from which it is said he made money. The mother of Duffy and Mrs. Gardner was a sister of McMahon, and after he had accumulated the greater part of his fortune he wrote home to his broth- ers and gisters in Ireland, telling them of his good luck. It issaid that Mrs. Gard- ner is in possession of all the letters writ- ten by McManon to her mother. Tt g New York’s Cold Wave.

Does Not Relish Being Jumped On by Scnators With Hob- nailed Boots. SECRETARY MORTON ONCE MORE No End to the Criticism of the Methods of the Head of the Agricul. tural Department. WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. 17.—The House to-day resumed the consideration of the agricultural appropriation bill, and the attacks upon Secretary Morton and his policy filled in most of the time of the session. These led Pearson (R.) of North Caro- lina to agk if there were not some one in the House to defend the Secretary. “Is there not,” he queried, “a Democrat, Re- publican or Populist who can stoop thus low?”? The committee recommendation dis- pensing with a chief clerk of the depart- ment was not agreed to, and the appropri- | ation was restored. The ungent deficiency bill was sent to conference. A resolution reported from the Ways and Means Committee agreed to | calling on the Secretary of the Treasury | for information in detail as to the pro- | ceeds of the sale of the bonds under the re- sumption act of 1875; of the redemption of | greenbacks, National bank rotes and treasury notes since 1897, the movement of legal tenders i1 bank reserves and in the treasury; what became of the proceeds of the bond sales and from what source the treasury derived the money to meet the excess of Government expenditures over receipts. The bill {o classify and arrange certein public lands in California, which was Sat- urday made the special order for to-day, | was called up by Johnson (R.) of Califor- | niaand passed. 3 Cannon (R.) of Iilinois, from the Com- | mittee on Appropriations, reported tne | urgent deficiency bill with the amend- | ments made by the Senate recommending = : | | concurrence in afew of themmendments | and non-concurrence in the remainder. | Discussing this matter, Cannon said: “I want to keep strictly within the rules of the House, but when I read the debites in the Congressional Record, speaking for the committee over which I have the honor to preside and for the House, I must say that when we are jumped on with hob- nailed boots in another body for alleged non-performance af our duty, I do not look upen such criticism with delight, especially when every word of it is based on false premises.” Sayres (D.) of Texas said that wkile the urgent deficiency bill was much larger than any urgent deficiency bill that had hereto- fore passed, it contained more than $1,000,- 000 which were not in the technical sense deficiencies, which could not be proverly charged to any dereliction on the part of the last Congress. As to the work of the on the deficiencies arising under the Fifty-fourth Congress would be less than for many years past. The report was agreed to and Cannon’s motion to ask a conference upon the dis- agreeing votes of the two hLouses passed. The Speaker appointed Cannon, Northway and Sayres as managers on the part of the House. Dalzell, from the Committee on Ways and Means, reported a substitute for the resolutions referred to that committee, calling upon the Secretary of the Treasury for information in detail as to the proceeds of the sales of bonds under the resump- tion act of 1875; of the redemption of greenbacks, National bank notes and treasury notes, since July 1, 1879; the movement of legal tenders in bank reserves andin the treasury; what became of the proceeds of the bond sales and from what source the treagury derived money to meet the excess of Government expenditures over receipts. ‘Washington (D.) of Tennessee moved an amendment calling upon the Secretary of the Treasury for information as to the sale of bonds between 1873 and 1879, This pro- voked a brief debate, in the course of which Grosvenor (R.) of Ohio arraignea the Democratic party and the present ad- ministration for its hostility to the credit of the country, Dalzell object ed to the amendment be- cause it was not germane to the subject of | the original regolution, and it was re- jected. The resolution as reported by the com- mittee was agreed to. ‘The House then went into committee of the whole to consider the agricultural ap- propriation bill under the five-minute rule. The attacks upon. Secretary Morton were renewed when the paragraph covering the appropriations for the Bureauof Animal Industry was reached. It was found that the bill legislated the chief clerk out of office, and made an assistant chief of the bureau at a salary of $2500. Against this Livingstone (D.) of Georgia made the voint of order that it was new legislation and increased expenditures, and he was sustained by the chair. Livingstone then moved to msert the usual appropriation of §2000 for chief clerk of the bureau, and it was agreed to—64 to 50. Amendments were agreed to, on motion by Doolittle (R.) ot Washington, author- izing the Secretary to expend a portion of the $10,000 appropriation for grass and forage plant investigations for the pur- chase of fiber-flax for the State of Wash- ington. Long (R.) of Kansas asked several ques- tions about the appropriation for the chemistry division, which shad been re- duced $10,000, which Wadsworth answered by saying that the reduction had been recommended by the Secretary of Agri- cultnre. Also, that the appropriation of §15,000, made on former bulls for investi- gation of the benefits of irrigations, had been cut out of this bill by the advice of the Secretary, who was of the opinion that the subject had been about exhausted. Mr. Wadsworth stated that of the appropria- tion of $15,000 for the year 1894-95 $2000 or $3000 remained unexpended, and $4000 | noon. |ered, and that the had been expended for clerk hire here in ‘Washington. . Long moved to insert an appropriation of $15,000. The amendment was agreed to. An amendment offered by Pickler (R.) of South Dakota providing for the publi- cation of the book on “Diseases of the Horse” was agreed to, as was one offered by Baker (R.) of New Hampshire reduc- ing from $50,000 to $30,000 the amount allowed for the publication of farmers’ bulletins. Skinner of North Carolina offered an amendment to the section vroviding for the purchase and distribution of seeds re- quiring the Secretary of Agriculture to carry out this proyision. He thought that this provision should be made mandatory. Talbert of South Carolina favored forc- ing the Secretary to carry out the law. His appointment he characterized as the ‘“worst act Mr. Cleveland had ever done.” Pending disposition of the amendment the committee rose, after which the Heuse at 5:05p. M. adjourned until to-morrow. _— e LANGUAGE OF MONKEYS. Professor Garner Eeturns From His African Researches. NEW YORK, N. Y., Feb. 17.—Professor Robert L. Garner of Roanoke, Va., who was dispatched last summer on a second trip to the jungles of Africa by the African Research Society of Chicago, arrived yes- terday on the Etruria., He went for the purpose of completing lLis monkey alpha- bet and learning more about the language of monkeys. : Professor S. H. Peavodv of the Univer- sity of Chicago was one of the backers of Professor Garner’s enterprise and a con- tributor to the fund of $12,000 raised to de- fray its expenses. Professor Garner says { that he returns with mfich new informa- tion. He considers that his mission in per- fecting himself in the monkey tongue has been largely accomplished. “T am convinced that monk talk to each other,” says he, “and that some of them possgss a higher intelligence ana greater fluency of language than many of the. African natives. “The gorilla has many human_attributes. Some of the chimpanzees play musical instruments and dance, while there are Africans who never could invent a musical instrument.” He further believes that some of the monkey race are organized into tribes and live under a sort of government. GLAD T0 B D OF THEN Omaha Police Officials Drop the Case of the Los Angeles Women. There Was a Repetition of the Scenes of Crying, Screaming and Con empt. OMAHA, NEBR., Feb. 17.—The trial of the three Wilson women of Los Angeles was heard in the Police Court this after- The customary scene occurred at the County Jail when the women were or- dered to go with the police. - The women had been notified at 10o’clock to be ready to go to the Police Court a o'clock, but when the patrol wagon arrived they said they were not ready. They guibbled about the form of the order to turn them over tothe police. A telephone message to the police station brought Captain Haze with a bench warrant which was read to the women and they were ordered to move atonce. Theydemurred again and wanted time to puton their wraps, bat Captain Haze said that they had had time enough and they were bundled out unceremonious- ly and carri ed to the wagon screaming and crying. A crowd quickly gathered, and this only served to increase the racket that the wo- men made as they were rapialy driven to the Police Court. They tried in every way to obstruct the trial, declining to answer questions and treating the court officers with supreme contempt. They were ready for a repetition of the scenes enacted upon their arraignment, but the court and of- ticers did not want any more such exhibi- tions and were somewhat lenient. Hastily the attorney for the women discovered a weak point in the complaint, and. Judge Gordon took advantage of that loophole to dismiss the case. Ruby’s father in Indianapolis has wired the Chief of Police to send her to him. Mrs Wilson and Marie will soon return to Los Angeles. Burroughs, the man primarily responsible for their troubles, has left the city. —— WEDDED AT WASHINGTON. Chief Justice Fuller’s Daughter the Bride " of Mr. Beecher. WASHINGTON, D.

C., Feb. 17.—The President, in his annual message, referred to the burdensome restrictions placed upon various American life insurance companies by the German Government. The President sent to the House of Representaiives to-day the corres ponaence concerning it on file "at the State Devart- ment, which shows that, notwithstanding the remonstrance of the State Department, the concession to the Mutual Life Insur- ance Company of New York was canceled on September 1 last, because the company did not conform to certain Prussian matters.

Small Mob. ONE WAS PUT TO DEATH. But the Other Escaped in the Darkaess and Fled for the Mountains. HAD FIRED MANY BUILDINGS. | So the Residents of Wayne County Decided to Make Short Work of | the Prisoners. \ LEXINGTON, ., Feb. 17.—A mob of twenty masked men attacked the Wayne County jail at Monticello at an early hour vesterday morning. The jailer was over- powered, his keys taken away, the cells unlocked and Fountain Martin and James Troxell, who were arrested several weeks ago, charged with burning the barn of Bounie Bates, were taken from the prison. The men were carricd to a point near | Steubenville, where, in a little grove the i body of Martin was found cold 1n death, banging from a limb. He had neither coat, hat nor shoes. i Troxell appeared at a farmhouse three miles from the scene of the hanging and got his breakiast yesterday morning. He said that while the mob was hanging Mar- tin he made bis escave in the darkness. This was the third attempt to lynch Troxell. Three weeks ago he was taken | irom his home by a mob and hanged toa | tree until he was nearly dead in order that he might confess to the burning of | Bates’ barn or tell who did it. He swore out warrants the next day for a number of prominent men in and around Steuben- ville, but he never appeared against them, and he was later placed m jail with Mar- tin, who had at first been charged with burning the Bates barn. | While in jail each accused the other of | purning the barn and of other incen- | diarism. The Steubenville people learned | of these couversations hetween Martin and Troxell and, believing them both guilty of destroying nearly a score of barns in Wayne County during the past vear. they determined to make short work of them. No cne has seen Troxell since he got breakfast yesterday and it 1s be- lievel he is making his way into the Cumberland Mountains, where pursuit would be well nigh impossible. GUNMAKERS COMBINE.
