PHILADELPHIA, Pa., May 15.—Cable- grams received here to-day from Hondqmu show that the steamship Bermuda failed the second time to Jand her cargo of mu- nitions of war in Cuba. It is reported that fears of treachery induced General Vidal and the ninety-seven men who were with him aboard the Bermuda to leave the ves- sel when it returned to Truxillo the second time. Captain Hughes, who commanded several filibustering expeditions to Cuba, sailed from New York for Honduras sev- eral days ago and i may be that he goes to take command of the Bermuda. Itis further reported that the steamship Lau- rada is to land her cargo on the shores of nce of Santiago de Cuba and that | neral Weyler knows of the and has made preparations to cap! vessel. The Laurada is due in Cuba Tuesday. PROTES SPAIN MAK 4 Complaints sbout the Cruises of Fili- bustering Steamers. MADRID, Sparx, May 15,—The Govern- Inent has sent & communication to the press stating that on Mav 9 and 11 Senor Du de Lome, the Spanish Minister, pre- sented to the American Government formal protests in the matter of the alleged filibustering steamers Bermuda and Laurada. Becretary of State Olney, in reply, promised an inquiry would be made in the matter, and if any of the United States officials were found to be culpable they would be recalled. The note adds that when the Horsa case comes before the Supreme Court Attorney- General Harmon will personally report the necessity for the inferpretation of the law in the matter. ST JOINED BY THE SWELL SET. Insurgent Ranks Inoreased by Baltimore Society Men. BALTIMORE, Mp.,, May 15.—Society and club circles are agitated to-night over | the report that two of Baltimore’s swell | set were passengers on the alleged fili- | buster steamer Laurada, which sailed from New York last Saturday. Ad-| ditional interest is exsited by the state- | ment that another youth belonging in the top-notch circle went to Cuba a few weeks ago and has arranged to join the in-| surgents along with the two Baltimoreans on board the Laurada. Dr. Stewart McKim, a recent graduate of the University of Virginia and a brother of Mr. McKim, the well-known banker, early espoused the cause of the insurgents and recently went to Cuba, not, however, declaring an intention to do more than study the situation. Ormonde Latrobe, a son of Stewart La- | trobe and a nephew of ex-Major-General Ferdinand C. Latrobe, and Stewart Jan- ney, who recently graduated from Johns Hopkins University, are named as the| other recruits for the insurgents’ ranks. For some time, it is alleged, the young | men have been in communication with | well-known Cubans in Baltimore and else- | where, and have been offered high posi- | tions in the service. Mr. Latrobe, it is said, is slated for a colonelcy. Mr. La- trobe’s father declined to discuss the mat- ter beyond admitting that his son was out of town. . SENDING MORE TROOPS, Spain Will Dispatch Sixzty Thousand Ad- ditional Men to Cuba. MADRID, Spars, May 15.—It is stated to-day that the military expedition that will be dispatched to Cuba in September will probably number 60,000, instead of 20,000, first decided upon. The Government has approved of a pro- posal to send a circular note to the powers regarding Cuba and its relations with the United States MAY TIE UP THE ROAD, Engineers Demand That a Grievance Be Adjusted. DENNISON, Tex., May 15.—Several mouths ago an engineer named Lanaman was discharged from the service of the Missowi, Kansas and Texas Railroad for an accident. A grievance committee of the the Brotherhood of Locomotive En- gineers visited the officials of the company st St. Louis, but they refused point blank to reinstate Lanaman. The grievance commitiee stated that unless Lanaman is reinstaled inside of five days, they will tie up the Missouri, Kansas and Texas sys- tem. The ultimatum of the brotherhood has been sent to the “‘Katy” headqua.ters. e igouis In Favor of Powaerly.

Not Entitled to a Seat in the Senate From Delaware. POPULISTS AGAINST HIM They Join the Democrats in the Vote to Defeat the Re- publicans. TARIFF REVISION DEMANDED. Bacon of Georgia Argues for the Repeal of the Power to Issue Bonds. WASHINGTON, D. C.,, May 15.—The claim of Henry A. Dupont for the vacant seat in the Senate from the State of Dela- ware was decided adversely to him to-day by a majority of one. The question has been debated at great length from time to time and tbat debate was closed to-dav at 5P M. The result of all the legal and con- stitutional arguments for and against was that the Republican Senutors to a man voted in favor of the claim: that the Democrats voted just as unanimously against it and that the Populists allied themseives solidly on the Democratic side, making the vote on the amendment which declared that Mr. Dupont was not entitled to the seat 31 to 30. A second vote on the resolution thus resulted in ex- actly the same figures. There was no at- tempt on the part of the Republicans to postpone the decisive i-sue. The Cuban question was revived in the { Senate to-day in the offering of a resolu- | | | tion by Senater Morgan of Aiabama in re- lation to the American citizens captured on board the Competitor aud a speech on the subject 1s to be made to-morrow by Morgan. The tariff and public debt questions were also brought up on the offering of a reso lution by Gallinger of New Hampshire, declaring a revision of the tariff law to be imperatively demanded, and Gailinger | gave notice that be would address the Senate on the subject before final adjourn- ment. A bill to prohibit the issuance of Government bonds without the authority of Congress was made the basis of a long speech by Bacon of Georgia, in support of | the bill. He advocated the immediate re- | act), under which the authority to issue an adjournment of Congress without such | repeal would be an approval of past and future bond issues under that act. Routine proceedings began with the conference report on the legislative, exe- | cutive and judicial appropriation bill, went over until to-morrow. | Morgan (D.) of Alabama offered a reso- lution which went over until to-morrow Relations to inquire as to the reports of the United States under treaties with | Spain in respect to the treatment of | American citizens arrested in Cuba and | military tribunals. Gallinger (R.) of New Hampshire offered a resolution which went over declaring that a revision of tariff laws isimpera- tively demanded. A resolution heretofore offered by | Aldriclr(R.) of Rhode Island for an in- quiry as to the effects of competition be- tween Oriental and American goods was agreed to. In pursuance of previous notice Bacon (D.) of Georgia addressed the Senate in favor of the bill to prohibit the issuance of bonds or other injuring obligations of the Government by the Secretary of the Treasury or other officers of the Govern- i ment without the authority of Congress. | He arguea that a delegation of the powers | of Congress over the finances of the | country was a violation of the letter and spirit of the constitution. Peffer (Pop.) of Kansas remarked that whatever the responsibility of the Senate might be in the matter the Populists had no share in it, as he had called the atten- tion of the Senate to the subject two | years azo in a speech on the same lines as that of the Senator from Georgia. Bacon declared that if the day after the Senate shall have adjourned and after the Senators have hurried away to attend political conventions, it was announced that the executive department had, with- out a special authority from Congress, determined to issue one, two or three hun- dred millions of bonds, there was no power to say it nay, so long asthe law remained unrepealed. *‘Let the record,” Bacon said in conclu- sion, “show how Senators and- Represent- atives, and how the political parties whom they represent, stand upon this great issue. Butler (Pop.) of North Carolina com- mended Bacon’s speech and called atten- tion to a bill which he (Butler) had intro duced early in the session, prohibiting the issue of bonds without the consent of Congress. He gave notice that he would on some future day ask the Senate to take | up that bill for consideration. Hill objected to baving the time farmed out in advance. The Dupont election case from the State of Delaware was taken up, and Platt (R.) | of Connecticut continued his argument begun yesterday in support of Dupont’s right to the vacant seat. Vilas (D.) of Wisconsin followed, speak- ing against the right of Dupont up to 5 P. M., when, uneer the unantmous consent arrangement, the final vote was to be taken. The Vice-President stated the question to be on the amendment by Turpin (D.) of Indiana, declaring that Dupont is not en- titled to the seat. The vote wastaken and resulted: Ayes 31, noes 30, as follows: Ayes—Allen, Bacon, Bates, Berry, Blackburn, Butler, Caffery, Chilton, Cockrell, Faulkner, George, Gibson, Gorman, Gray, Harris, Hill, Jones of Arkansas, Kyle, Lindsay, Martin, Mills, Mitchell of Wisconsin, Morgan, Pasco, Peffer, Roach, Stewart, Turpie, Vilas, Walthall, White—31. Noes—Baker, Brown, Burrows, Cameron, Cannon, Carter, Chandler, Clark, Cullom, Davis, Dubois, Elkins, Frye, Gallinger, Haw- ley, McBride, Mantle, Mitchell of Oregon, Per- kins, Pettigrew, Platt, Proctor, Quey, Sewell, Sherman, Shoup, Teller, Warren, Wetmore, Wilson—30. The vote was then taken on the com- ) | R. Murphy, mittee resolution as amended, and it waos agreed to by the same vote—31 to 30—thus deciding the case definitely against Du- ont. o The conference report on the bill to im- prove the merchant marine engineer serv- ice was presented and agreed to. The District of Columbia appropriation bili was taken up. The Senate then pro- ceeded to the consideration of executive business, and at 5 ». M. adjourned. —_— HEARD IN THE HOUSE. Private Pension Bills and an Explana- tion by Howard. WASHINGTON, D. C., May 15.—The House spent the day in passing private pension biils, favorably reported from the committee of the whole during the past week. Before the House took the usual | Friday recess at 5 o'clock 101 bilis had | been passed and thirty-four others had been laid aside to await formal engross- ment before final aciion. The contested election cese of J. Hamp- ton Hoge vs. Peter J, Otey, from the Sixth District of Virginia, was ended by the adoption of the report of the Committee on Elections No. 3, confirming Otey's title to the seat. Howard (Pop.) of Alabama made a de- nial of the stories printed two or three months ago, charging him with being drunk on the floor of the House, asserting that he was sick and that since then he had been near to death’s door. Howard resented what he declared to be a cruel, baseless attack by the press of the country. An article in the St. Louis Re- { publie, he said, was typical of tke general ouslaught on him, and he read that. It stated that Howard had come on to the floor of the Honse in a state of intoxica- | tion after a debauch of several days, his | appearance resembling that of a tramp. He bad gone to sleep, it said, on a lounge, and had thence been removed by two col- | ored porters of the House. At 5 o’clock the House, according to the rules, took a recess until 8 p. M. The entire period devoted under the rules to the night session was spentina fruitless effort to obtain & quorum. The | proceedings were characterized by Pugh (R.) of Kentucky as those of “a kinder- garten in the National schoolhouse."” Toward the close of the evening Pickler (R.) of South Dakota repeated a motion just voted upon by the House. The Speaker pro tem., Dalzell (R.) of Pennsyl- vania, evidently tired of the situation, de- clared the motion out of order. Pickler — From that decision, Speaker, I appeal. Speaker pro tem. (sharply)—And the chair declines to entertain the appeal. At10:30 the session expired by limita- tion and the House was declared to be | adjourned until Monday next. —_— BITTER WORDS - SPOKEN, Orators Say Harsh Things About | Catholics at a Mass- Meeting. Mr. Jemes Waldrup Declares That the Marquette Statue and Satolli Must Go. ‘WASHINGTION, D. C., May 15.—The A.P. A. held a largely attended mass- meeting to-night. The speakers described the objects of the association as being de- cidedly adverse to the Catholic religion in politics. Judge Stone of Missouri pre- sided. The speakers were: E. H. Dunbar of Boston, W. E. Shinn of New York, C. C. Bradshaw of Montana, V. P. Jackson and James Waldrup, of California, Mr. Waldrap, in his address, declared the Marquette statue at the United States Capitol must go, and Cardinal Satolli must go; that no Italian would be recog- nized as & Catholic Embassador in this country. Thomas A. Hansen of Ohio said hereto- fore the Catholics had been the Goliath of this country, but now they had met their David in the A.P. A. Mr. Hansen is a colored man. Mrs. Carrie Fosdick of Michigan, the National president of the Women’s A, P, A. of America, said every move of the day had its woman’s side. She spoke of the woman’s influence for the Catholic faith. She said that the backbone of the A. P, A, now is the woman’s A. P. A, Henry B. Ingram of New York com- mented upvon the appointment to-day of the new Pension Commissioner, Dominic | ina rather sarcastic manner. | Publie Printer Benedict came in for his share of sarcasm at the hands of Mr. In- | gram, who declared him to have been an obscure man in Ulster County, N. Y., before his elevation. Fourteen hundred out of 1600 ot the employes of the Bureau of Engraving and Printing were Catholics, be said, but in the next aaministration these figures would be reversed. Major Holman of Massachusetts spoke. also ot al ADMIRAL STEVENS DEAD. Was Aid to President Tyler, and Made @ Gallant Record. WASHINGTON, D. C., May 15.—Rear- Admiral Thomas H. Stevens, U. 8. N, (retired) died this morning at the resi- dence of his daughter, Mrs. Robert Brad- ley, at Rockville. He was born in Middle- town, Conn., in 1819, and entered the navy as midshipman in 1836. He was aia to President Tyler in 1842. Ten years later he commanded the schooner Ewing in surveys of the California and Oregon coasts. He made a good record in the Civil War. TIn 1879 he was in command of the Pacific station and later was president of the Board of Visitors of the Naval Academy. He retired in 1881 under the 62-year act. He has for some months been in feeble health. —— Nominated by the President. WASHINGTON, D. C., May 15.—The President to>ay sent to the Senate the follow#ing nominations: John Fowler of Massachusetts, to be Consul of the United States at Cheefoo, China; Robert Lee Jenkins of North Carolina, to be Consul of the United States at Patros, Greece; Wil- liam Lochren of Minnesota, to be United States District Judge for the District of Minnesota, vice Renselaer R. Nelson, resigned; Domiric R. Murphy of Pennsyl- vania, now first deputy Commissioner of Pensions, to be Commissioner of Pensions, vice W. A. Lochren, reninsd; Napoleon J. Dana of New Hampshire, to be first deputy Commissioner of Pensions, vice Murphy. pasdeia Land Bills Favorably Reported. WASHINGTON, 0. C., May 15.—The House Committee on Public Lands to-day favorably reported bills authorizing the appointment of a commission to examine and classify certain lands in California along the Central Pacific Railroad grant; appropriating $12,000 for the payment for certain improvements made in the Yellow- stone National Park, and to reimburse purchasers and settlers on even-numbered sections of public lands within limits of Congressional grants in cases of forfeiture of oad-num grants, WILL HEAR THE FUNDING BILL. The Senate Sets a Day for the Consideration of the Measure. HUNTINGTON YET TOILS With Eoyd, His Man Friday, He Hopes to Rush His Scheme Along This Session. BUT IT WILL NOT GO TEROUGH Determined Statesmen Are Ready to Talk the Bill to Sleep at the Proper Time. WASHINGTON, D. C., May 15.—The steering committee of the Senate has agreed to set a day for consideration of the Pacific roads funding bill. ' The exact aate isnot known, but it will be within one week. Huntington, failing to have the bill brought up in the House, concentrated his efforts on the Senate side, with the result stated. He hopes to have tha bill passed by the Senate this session, and then through the House at the short session. He realizes that it could hardly be consid- ered in both branches at the short session. John Boyd stated to THE CALL corres- pondent to-nignt that they hoped to press the bill through the Senate now, and through the House next winter. Bat the possibility of the bill passing the upper House at this session 1s very remote. A mere handful of Senators could talk it to death, and there is no doubt bat that a bandful of them are so disposed. Morgan, although far from being a well man, will try to make an exhaustive speech on the subject, and so will Allen of Nebraska, White of California and others, THE CALL correspondent has wired re- peatedly that there is no chance for the bill's passage at this session, and this pre- diction is reiterated. The result of the Dupont Benatorial election contest to-day has angered promi- nent Republican Senators, who are very bitter against those Popuiists who voted with the Democrats against seating Dupont. They declare unreservedly that Senators Jones and Stewart of Nevada some time ago bargaived that, in return for their votes for Dupont, the Republicans were to support the Santa Monica deep-harbor appropriation; but that Jones was so dis- appointed and angered because of Frye's compromise amendment, he and Stewart resolved to beat Dupont. Stewart voted with the Democrats, and Jones was paired with Wolcott (Republican), which was equivalent to his voting against Dupont. Jones and Stewart especiatly are held re- sponsible for the result to-day. The vote stood 30 to 31, and if they had voted with the Republicans Dupont would have been seated. CmrE SENATORS IN CAUCUS. Is Not Yet The Closing Programme Agreed Upon. WASHINGTON, D. C., May 15.—The Republicans of the Senate wers in caucus this morning for a little more than half an hour, but adjourned without having taken action of a positive character on any of the matters that came before it. The steering committee was instructed to ar. range an order ot business and report to another caucus to be held next week. Sherman precipitated a discussion of the bili to repeal the free alcohol clause of the ‘Wilson bill, but the debate on that meas- ure was confined to its parliamentary status. Platt of Connecticut was the particular exponent of the antagonism to this repeal, and he stated very frankly that if Sherman persisted in his efforts 1o bring up the bill he wouid embroil the Senate in a discus- sion of the whole tariff question and effectually block any hope the people or members of Congress might have of an early adjournment. Chandler concurred in this view, and between them they warned Sherman that under no circumstances could Le secure the final passage of the repeal bill. Although Sherman admitted nothing, nor pledged himse!f to any plan of action, the impression prevailed after the caucus adjourned that he would not again try to take the repeal bill up for consideration. Bankruptcy, immigration, refuading of the Pacific railroads debts and other matters in which Senators are interested were not even mentioned, but will probably come up at the next cancus. A3 TO AMATEUR ATHLETES The Pacific Athletic Associa- tion Sharply Scores the A. A A Members Wio Have Committed Breaches Through Izmorance Re. stored With a Warning. OAKLAND, Car., May 15.—The annual meeting of the Pacific Athletic Associa- tion was held in the Reliance Club build- ing to-night. The following delegates were present: Acme Club, Baird, Dono- van, Tank; Ariel Club, Nolan, Pender- gast, Hardy; Doliphin Club, Rothkopf, Keenan, Patch; QOakland Athletic Club, Van Avery, Fitzpatrick, Wixon; Olympic Club, Elliott; Pioneer Club, Espey, €allman, Klunder; Reliance Club, Ames, Leonard, Berry; South End Rovm!

A. of San Francisco, Ames, Everding; Academic League, Daw- son; Alameda Club, Sansome, Pembroke, Cruger; Manhattan Club, Forbes, Muller, Killeen. Fresno and Sacramento were not represented. After the seating of delegates, reports of committes were read and filed. Bernard Miller of the U. C. made a speech in which he denounced the habit of academic schools forcing upon their best men so0 many entries in contests, and recommended that hereafter athletes be- longing to such schools be limited to two entries, The recommendation was ap- proved by the convention. The -committee selected to investigate the Amateur Athletes’ Association, re- ported it to be in a very unsatisfactory condition. The contestants looked more to the value of the prize than the honor. Violations had been committed through ignorance which really rendered members professionals. Amateur baseball was reported as being almost unknown excepting by the Olym- pic baseball nine, which was found to contain professionals, for some actually accepted pay. The committee recom- mended that all violations be overlooked and that all who had overstepped amateur rules be declared amateurs, with untar- nished records. A The committee also recommended_that the following be declared professionals: J. Counefl, J. Cosgrave, H. M-n-h%l. Gun- mel, Keckett and King of the Olympic baseball nine, and Van Buskirk, J. A. Gintey and J. Rilef. of the Olympic Club. The report concluded by asserting that hereafter ignorance will be no excuse. No investigation will be allowed on any- tbu:g that occurred previous to this re- port. It also recommended that the $30 30 re- cewved by the “‘Olympic baseball nine” be donated to the “Little Jim hospital” fund; that clubs shall be prohibited from giving contests under the so-called “Olympic Club rules,” and under those of the Ama- teur Athletic Union. The importing of athietes is condemned, and hereaiter will be punished as other violations. A resolution, recommending to the board of directors that they take steps to make arrangements to have expenses in- curred by training and traveling of dele- gates paid, was referred by a unani- mous vote to the board of directors. The election of officers for the coming year followed. W. F. Humphr.ys was elected president by acclamation. The board of managers was elected of one member from each club as follows: Acme, Henry Tank; Ariel, J. J. Nolan; Fresno, J. P. Barnard; Oakland Athletic Club, 0.

LONDON, Exc., May 15.—Considerable interest was created in yachting circles by the statement published in a Glasgow newspaper to the effect that Lord Lons- dale, whois a close friend of Emperor William, had said his Majesty might chal- lenge for the America’s cup in the event of his new yacht, the »Meteor, proving a speedier boat than the Valkyrie III. The Evyening Standard says Lord Lonsdale has asked it to contradict the statement pur- porting to emanate from him. Lord Lons- dale, it is said, says he is convinced that it is ntterly improbable that Emperor Wil- liam will compete for the cup. e kEACING ON THREE TRACKS.

CLEMENCY T0 BE SOUGHT Efforts Being Made to Secure a Pardon for Captain Howgate. It Is Claimed That His Case Was Post. poned Until He Was Not Fre- pared for Trial. NEW YORK, N. Y., May 15.—A Tribune special from Washington says: It is un- derstood that efforts will be made to se- cure a pardon for Captain Henry How- gate, who is now serving a sentence in the Albany penitentiary, having been con- victed of embezzlement while second in command of the United States Weather Bureau. The formal application for a pardon will not be made to the President until next spring. One of the reasons urged in behalf of Captain Howgate is that while he used the money of the United States improperly he did not use it in his own behalf. He was enthusiastic in the matter of Arctic ex- plorations and purchased and fitted out the steamer Gulnare with the funds of the Weather Bureau jor that purpose. It is said that he received no personal benefit from the misuse of the funds. Captain Howgate was better prepared for trial in 1882 than he was last year. He surrendered himself and was sent to the United States jail, there being an under- standing between the United States Dis- trict Attorney and himself that he should have an immediate trial. 1t happened, however, that the District Attorney was so much occupied at the time in preparing for the trial of Guiteau for the murder of President Garfield that the understanding was not carried out, and Howgate subse- quently escaped from jail. He roved about the country for some time, but finally settled in New York City, carrying on the business of dealing in second-hand and rare books. He pur- sued this calling uninterruptedly for ten years, when he was suddenly arrested and brought here for trial and convicted. In the meantime nearly all the army and other friends on whom he had relied to escape imprisonment had died or passed out of important offices. Since his imprisonment in the Albany penitentiary Captain Howgate has been librarian of the prison. He is now an old and broken man physically. and the few friends who cling to him still think that he has snffered enough. He has seven years yet to serve. It is said that his book business in New York has been con- ducted since his conviction by his daugh- ter, who gained many friends by the way she clung to her father, notwithstanding his wrongs to ber mother, and those friends, probably more than those of the father, are most active in the movement to secure a pardon.
