2 the church on a dais covered with red vel- vet, bordered with heavy gold trimmings, embroidered at the €orhers with eagles, were two thrones facing the Ikonstas. Upon this dais, whieh was six feet high and approached by twelve steps, was a landing midway and small,platforms for the groups of ladies of the court, masters of ceremonies, etc. Over the thrones was a magnificent square baldachin of purple velvet lined with ermine hanging from the roof between the two pillars furthest from Ikonstas. In the center, surmount- ing the baldachin, was an immense gilded ‘crown. At 8:15 numerous ladies and gentlemen of the court, in brilliant dresses and uni- forms, entered and took their places, and at 8:30 the great bell in the Ivan tower be- gan to peal, giving the signal to all other bells, which took up the peal and re- sounded throughout the city. A large number of bishops and priests in mag- nificent robes were in attendance, As the bell of Ivan Vleki tolled out the half hour, the male choir, which in Greek churches is always concealed, began to intone the Te Deum. Their beautiful voices swelled to the tones of the grand and solemn anthem and seemed a fitting reparation to the cerenrony about to begin. At a quarter to 9 the diplomatic body and special envoys, headed by the Count de Montebello, the French Embassador, who 1n the inability of the Turkish Embassador to be present in a Greek church was the dean of. the dipiomatic corps, slowly filed into the sacred building. The choir continued singing and at 9 o’clock the sound of cheers and roars from the waiting throngs ouiside announced the fact that the royal party was approaching. Shout after shout rose upon the air, drums sounded, bells pealed and the bands grouped in the great square played the national anthem. At these sounds the Metropolitans of Moscow, St. Petersburg and Kieff and sev- eral of the higher clergy proceeded to the southern entrance of the cathedral. Then through the throng was seen the great dig- nitaries of state, bearing the imperial in- signia, regaiia anda coronation robes, which they deposited in richly worked cushions on a table near the throne. The first of the imperial party to appear was the Dowager Czarina, mother of the Emperor, who came separately from the Emperor and Enrpress and their attend- ants. The Dowager Empress wore a crown and imperial mantle, and was accompa- nied by those membeys of the imperial family who were notincluded in the Czar’s cortege and the ladies and officials of her court. Immediately after, amid tumultuous shouts from outside, the Emperor and Empress appeared at the door. They were received by the clergy and escorted to the steps of the altar. The Emperor was dressed in the dark green and gold uni- form of a general of the guards, with high boots. ver robe with a long train, which was borne by four pages. Arriving at thealtar steps the Metropolitan of Moscow and the @rand Duke Sergius welcomed the Em- peror and Empressin the holy building. The Metropolitan of St. Petersburg pre- sented the cross for them to kiss and the Metropolitan of Kieif presented them with the holy water. After bowing three times before the altar and kissing the sacred im- ages their Majesties ascended the steps and took their places in front of the altar with their backs to the throne. The scene was one of great beauty as thelimperial couple stood awaiting the service which was to proclaim them Emperor and Eme press of all the Russias. The blaze of gold and silver, the bril- liancy of the uniformsand orders, the rich- nessof the Russian court toilettes worn by. the ladies, the soarkling and precious gems, the clouds of incense rising from be- bink the 1konstas and pervading the church, the solemn sweetness of the sing- ing which now again began, all contrib- uted to the splendorof the occasion. As the Emperor and Empress entered the cathedral the choir sang psalm 101, *‘Mis- ericordiam et jndicinm cantabo tibi Dom- ine.” The Metropolitan of St. Petersburg, as the hymn of the choir ceased, stepped for- ward and handed the Emperor a missal, saying: ‘‘Gratias Spiritus Sancti sit sem- per tecum. Amen.” And bidding him read aloud the orthodox creed, which he did in a voice aundible toall. This was followed by the reading of the Litany, with prayers for God’s blessing upon the Czar’s government. 'The choirs then sang “God Is the Lord,” with the re- sponse, ‘‘Lord Save Thy People.” The Metropolitans of Kieff and St. Petersburg then assisted the Czar to don the imperial mantle made of cloth of gold lined with ermine, which was presented on two golden cushions by the ¢ourt cham- perlains. After donning the mantle the Emperor assumed ‘the diamond collar of St. An- drew, the Metropolitan of 8t. Petersburg saying: “In nomine Patria et Filius et Spiritus Sancti. Amen.” Then turning to the altar the Czar powed his head to the prelate of Novgorod, who croseed his hands upon his Majesty’s forehead and said: ‘‘May tbe Lord anoint bim with the oilof joy; may he clothe him with power and place upon his head a crown .of precious stones of long life; may he give into his right hand the scep- ter of salvotion, set him upon the throne of righteousness and preserve with his protection the established rule.” Immediately after this the Czar received the crown from the Metropolitan of St. The Empress was dressed in a sil- | Petersburg, and, standing in full sight of all the people and still before the aitar, with both hands placed the crown upon his head. Then taking his scepter, in which blazed the famous Orloff diamond, in his right hand and the globe of the em- pire in his left, he ascended the dais and took his seat upon the throne, the Em- press still standing in her former place. This was the supreme moment of all, and when gazing around the church and seeing representatives from nearly every distriet of this mighty empire, and behold- ing the Czar sitting on his throne of state, with the symbols of power given tohim by the highest authority in the land, one had a realizing sense of the great power wielded by the man in whose honor this great function was held. At the moment of taking his seat on the throne the cannon of the arsenal thun- dered forth, the bells rang and the bands massed outside playing the national an- them. The Emperor, after merely occu- pying the throne for a few seconds, rose, and, placing the scepter and the globe on the table by his side, turned to the Em- press, and, taking off his crown, touched her forehead with it. She then knelt be- fore him on a crimson velvet cushion, when the Emperor placed upon her head her own crown, which is surmounted by a large sapphire. The Empress’ ladies of honor fixed the crown on her head with a gold comb and robed in her mantle of cloth of gold, ermine lined, like the Emperor’s. She was also invested with the collar of St. Andrew and was led to the throne by the Emperor and remained seated at his side. .The Emperor then resumed his scepter and orb and the clergy broke forth into the magnificent anthem, “Domine salvum fac Imperatorem,” and ‘‘Domine salvam fac Imperatricem,” of course in the old Blavonic tongue, the choir answering, “Ad Muitos Annos.” The members of the imperial family and the foreign princes now advanced and con- gratulated the imperial couple, while others in the church bowed thrice toward the throne, thus expressing their felicita- tions. Suddenly the cannon, bells and bands ceased and a solemn silence ensued when the Czar kneit and solemnly uttered a fervent prayer. When the Czar rose from his knees the Metropolitan of St. Petersburg began a prayer for the Eixr peror, at which every one in the cathe- dral knelt, with the exception of the Em- peror, who stood erect, wearing his crown. The Metropolitan then steped forward to the foot of the dais and made a short address to the Czar on the importance and duties of his office. After the Emperor had taken the scepter from the Metropoli- tan of St. Petersburg the choir sangthe Te Deum and the bells of the Kremlin again rang out. Mass was then begun and after the cone secration of the elements, the Emperor, the train of his coronation robe being borne by the clergy, entered the sanctuary bebind the ikonastas and received com- munion. The Empress likewise received communion, but kneeling at the sanctuary, as women are not allowed within the ikonastas. . After the communion the Emperor and Empress reascended their thromes, their insignia being borne before them and all of the court dignitaries being grouped around them. The Czarjg chief almoner then recited the prayers which follow the communion, The ceremony was concluded by each of the anointed kissing s golden crucifix containing a sacred relic, which was held by the Metropolitan of Kieff. The Emperor and Linprés subsequently dined in state ix the tiog hall of the Granovitaya Palase;, oering their im- perial crowns and munties. A Among those who were privileged to/ enter the cathedral #nd wilness cere- monies “were: Ham. Jiiftony 2. Breckin- ridge, United States 284 , and Mrs, Breckinridge; Gomexal A MoD: McCook, United States representative at the coro- nation, and Mrs. M¢Cook, and Admiral Thomas O. Selfritigs, U. 8. N. Among those 'in the tribune near the cathedral were Potter Palmer and his wife and Mr.and Mrs, John A Logan Jr. The whole city to-night was one blaze of light. The Kremlin was outlined in flame, and everywhere the illumination was the grandest ever seen here. It is believed that there was not a single house in the entire city that did not dis- play illuminations in honor of the crown- ing of the Czar. Thousands upon thou- sands of electric and other lights were used, and the scene wasa most beautiful one. The coronation banquet, which was given at the Granovitaya Palace to-night, ‘was a most brilliant affair. x 1t was attended by the highest nobility, the representatives of foreign powers and the Ministers of State. The Cgzar, Czarina and Dowager Czarina sat in a kind of loge ;ng were waited upon by exalted state of- —_——— THE LOCAL CELEBRATION. Interesting Services Held at the Greek Church. The patriotic Russians of this City at- tended the coronation services in the Greek church on Powell street yesterday morning. The chapel was decorated with flowers, and the American and Russian colors occupied numerous places within | and without the building. The religious services were begun by Bishop Nicholas, clothed in his splendid vestments of gold and silver embroidery and crowned with a jeweled mitre.

The liturgy, in Russian, was chanted by the cantor M. Popoff, assisted by George Mit- ropolsky, Misses Ella ana Mamie Dabo- vitch, Misses N. and X. Mitropolsky and Mrs. Miller. It was a beautiful and impressive service and the fuli-toned choir, singing without musical accompaniment, filled the pretty and brilliantly decorated chapel with a noble meledy. S At 11:30 the Te Deum was chanted be- fore the consular corps of the City and many prominert American citizens, spe- cially invited by his Imperial Russian Majesty’s Consul, V. Artsimovitch. That portion of the chapel reserved for the official guests was decorated with white, red and blue, the Russian national colors. Each Consul was in full uniform, making an imposing military spectacle as they stood listening to the elaborate ritual of the Greek Catholic church. Among the Americans present were Chief Justice Beatty, Irving M. Scott, Horace Platt and Edward Jerome. The Hellenic and Slavonian societies of the City were represented. The coronation services proper were de- livered by Bishop Nicholas‘ a solemn invo- cation of divine blessings for the Em- peror, the ruler of the Russias, and the head of the Greek church. At the close of the services in the chapel the guests were entertained ata banquet by Consul Artsimovitch and Bishop Nicholas, The apartment and tables were handsomely decorated with flowers and the colors of the two countries. On the walls were the poriraits of the newly crowned Emperor and Empress as well as the late Emperor and the Dowager Empress. At the handsome luncheon provided toasts were drank to the two sovereigns far away in Moscow, the ancient capital of all the Russias. It wasanim- posing spectacle around Powell and Fil- bert streets with a crowd of carriages at the church gate and the white, blue and red of Russia, the red, white and blue of America waving over the green cross- tipped domes. SUGHR BOUNTY CLAMS, Auditor Baldwin Busily at Work Preparing Certificates of Verification. Later On, However, RBowler Again Tie Up Some of the Payments. May WASHINGTON, D. C., May 26.—In ac- cordance with yesterday’s Supreme Court decision, Auditor Baldwin of the Treasury Department had the most experienced of his clerks at work to-day verifying bounty claims embraced in the first section of the bounty law, for which an appropriation of $238,289 was made. The claimants are maple-sugar, beet and cane producers. The amounts in the main are small, the claimants being such as were not paid a bounty npon sugar pro- duced by them previous to August 28, 1894, when the McKinley law was repealed. Auditor Baldwin told the Carn corre- spondent that he would put an extra force of clerks at work on the claims as soon as possible, with a view of expediting their payment. He hopes to be able todispose of from 10 % 150 claims & day. Asarule ix takes about ten days for tlie certifigafie of the Auditor upon which a warrant is based to reach the Commissioner of Inter- nal Revenue. Auditor Baldwin told the correspondent that he Loped by diligent work to be able to dispose of al! the claims of tnis class by theend of the present fiscal year, which expires June 30. No claims under the second clause of the county law, appropriating $5,000,000, have as yet reached Auditor Baldwin. That clanse makes proyision for the compensation of sugar producers who complied with the McKinley law by filing notices, etc., prior to July 1, 1894, and who would have been entitled {0 receive a license. These claims, as a rule, are for large amounts and will not exceed 600 in number. . Thesum provided by Congress will be inadequate to satisfy the claims filed, a deficit of a little over a_million being an. ticipated. The work of prorating tnem, which has Iust been agreed upon, will fall to the lot of the Auditor’s office, but how soon this will be done Mr. Baldwin was to-day unable to say. Commissioner Mil- ler was also ignorant as to when he would be able to forward them to the Auditor for verification and prorata. This isa very important matter, for in it lurks an ele- ment of danger to sugar-producers. Unless these claims or the warrants to satisfy them can be placed in the hands of Comptroller Bowler before the expiration of the present fiscal year he will have it in his power, by a captious ruling, to declare that the bill carrying the appropriation for their payment has lapsed, and he may refuse to pay them. e OF INTEBEST TO THE COAST. Huntington Tells White the Funding Bill Will Pass. WASHINGTON, D.C., May 26.—Sena- tor White met C. ¥. Huntington in the corridor of the Senate to-day. The rail- road magnate was surrounded by his faith- ful retainers, Senator White, who is al- good-humored .individual, called : “Say, Huntington, I wish you would tell me whether you are going to call up your funding bill. I am anxious to get home.”” The old railroad magnate an- swered, as cool as a cueumber: “Why, certainly it will come up, Senator, and it will pass, too.” Senator White, however, is strongly of opinion that it will not come up in the Senate or House at this session, as ad- journment is only about two weeks off.

More Than Forty Persons Killed and Many Injured in the Storm. SCENES 0F HORROE REMAIN. Hundreds of Homes Reduced Splinters During the Pranks of the Winds. to DETROIT, Mics., May 26.—The cyclone which devastated the northern portion of Oakland County last evening swept a path half a mile wide and sixteen miles long from west to east, clearing the earth of nearly everything movable. About forty persons were killed outright and fully that number were injured, some of whom will die. The cyclone first struck earth six miles west of Ortonville and passed half a miie north of that village. In these six miles of devastated country before Ortonville was reached fifteen persons were killed and about twenty injured, some fatally. The first house to feel the effects of the storm was that of Joshua Johnson. The storm had not obtained all of its fury and the building was partialiy demolished, Mr. Jobnson escaping injury and his wife and baby being only slightly injured. A mile further east stood the home and barns of Wilhlam Mitchell, not a trace of which is left but the foundation walls, Mrs. Mitchell, her son, Claude, and a baby, Jay Mitchell, nine months old, were in- stantly killed. The father was seriously bruised and internally injured, and will probably die. A big sliver was driven square into the center of his forehead. All of his stock was killed. Don, another son. is seriously hurt. There is nothing but foundations to show where the home of Abram Quick, who lived across the way, stood. Six occupants of the house were killed and one was seri- ously injured. Prescott Wilkins, one of those killed in the Quick home, had reached there on a visit but an hour be- fore the cyclone tor its way through. The home of Henry Flamboy was next destroyed, and himself, bis wife and two children seriously injured. A mile east of Flamboy’s the cyclone demolished the house of John Porritt. The death list in in this home reaches four. The wind- cloud passed on and next wrecked the home of Benjamin Westby. Mr. Westby, his wife and two childrea were buried in the ruine, bt alf weré) ght out with severe injuries. [ John Prost was the next victim of the storm. His house was completely wrecked and his wife seriously hurt. The home of John Milkie, on a line with Ortonville, was unharmed, but his barns were wiped out. Mr, Milkie and his son John, aged 18, were in a barn when it was demolished. The son was instantly kitled and the father isin a critical condition. The list of killed and injured in this six miles is as follows: Mrs. William Mitchell, Claudé Mitchell, her son; J. Mitchell, a baby son; Abram Quick, Glen Quick, a six- year-old son; Myrtle Quick, a four-year- old daughter; Ross Quick, a baby son; Mrs. Henry Quick, mother of Abram Quick; Prescott Wilkins of Mayville, 60 years old ; John Porritt, 75 years old; Mrs. Joseph Porritt, his daughter-in-law; Mrs. Lewis Porritt, a daughter-in-law; Mrs, William Kitchen, Abram Kitchen, John Milkie Jr. Injured: Mrs. Joshua Jobnson, leg broken; Baby Johnson, not seriously in- jured; Willi Mitchell, fatally; Den Mitchell, his son, will recover; Mrs. Abram Quick will recover; Joseph Por- ritt, fatally; William Kitchen, seriously: Jonn Milkie, seriously; Henry Flamboy, wife and two children, not seriously; Ben- jamin Westby, wife and two children, not serious; Mrs. John Prost, seriously; John Milkie may die; Oscar Granger, fatally; Mrs. John Whipple, seriously. In the next half-dozen miles between Ortonville and the little settlement of Oakwood the cyclone seemed to lose some of its force, or the farmers living in that section were particularly lucky. The cy- clone traveled the road as straight asan arrow’s flight, spreading out or contract- ing as it went along. About elghteen farmhouses were de- stroyed in the path of the storm from Or- tonville to Oakwood, but only two persons were killed. Four others were probably fatally injured and eight or ten more or less deriously hurt. The names of the dead in this seétion are Mrs. Clark Eaton and Ed Fifield. ' Fatally injured: Harvey Francis, Mrs. Ed Fifield, Nelson Chapman. Injured: Mr. and Mrs. Sylverton Smith and two children, Mrs. Green, John Clark, Mrs. Francis and children. The cloud struck Oakwood almost with- out warning and there is little left of that village. The Methodist Episcopal and Congregational churches, the Town Hall, practically all the business houses and most of the residences were left in ruins, Nine persons were killed in the village and many injured. Those who met death were: Mrs. N. B, Wolverton, Mrs. Ed Howe, Miss Mina Howe, Orrin Howe (a two-year-old baby), Mrs. Wells, Eugeftia Fifield, Mrs. Je: May Fifield, Labbie Davidson, Mrs. StéW- art, Baby Davis. Those seriously injured are: Mrs. Kate Davidson, may die; Bertram Davidson, may die; George Fifield, leg broken and knee cap torn off; Will Carr, arm broken and back wrenched; James Brush, arm broken; Mrs. Anna Tinsey of Pontiac, several ribs broken. The three-mile stretch from Oakwood to Thomas is a scene of heartrending desola~ tion and wreckage. Everything in the path of the cyclone was leveled. In and around Thomas the death hst is large and many are injured. The dead and injured between Oakwood and Thomas and in the latter village are: Dead—mrs. Vanwagoner, Charles Hicks, Rev. C. M. Pretchyplano, Andrew Petti- grew, M. Bremeyer. Injured—Leroy Hicks, skull crushed; William Althouse, internal injuries; Mrs, R. Coppeman, internally and seriously; Charles Bradley, arm crushed; Amy Kid- | der, crushed by timbers, probably fa- tally; Abram Reed, arm broken; Mrs. A M. Kidder, badly bruised by debris; George Hibler, both legs and an arm broken; Joe —— a farmhand employed by Dr. Suiter, head bruised. After completing its work of destruction at Thomas, the cyclone evidently seva- rated, one section going northeast and do ing an immense amount of damage be- tween Thomas and Dryden, in Lapeer County, and the other following a south- westerly direction to North Oxford. The list of dead at and near North Ox- ford is as follows: Claire E. Laidlaw, three weeks’ old baby; Mrs. Oscar Slade, 35 vears old; Sol E. Rame, Tom Bishop, Jo- seph Smedley Sr., Joseph Smedley Jr., Mrs. Thomas Bennett at Dryden; one un- known man and woman at Whigville. Injured—Neil Mathewson, Oscar Slade, leg broken ; George Besse, head hurt; Will Allen, cut on head; Mrs. Will Allen, bruised; Mrs. A. Pettibone, severe cuts: Thomas Bennett, three ribs broken, recov- ery doubtful; Mrs. Joseph Smedley Sr., probably fatally; Mrs. Joseph Smedley Jr., slightly injured ; John Peters, slightly. Alter leaving North Oxford, the path of the cyclone is marked at intervals until Mount Clemens is reached, where great damage was ¢Gone and many persons injured. The injued are: Mrs. Anna Pohl, a widow, back broken, cannot live; Henry Pohl, aged 14, hip broken, injured internally; Adolph Pohl, aged 12, right leg broken, bruised about shoulders and body; Willie Pohl, aged 15, injured inter- nally and right leg broken, recovery doubt- ful; Mrs. Joseoh Harder, injured inter- nally, cut about head and arms; Russell Carter, head and face cut; Mrs, Russell Carter, injured internally, breast and shoulders bruised, recovery doubtful; Baby Carter, head badly cut; Gustave Cutche, cut on head and right arm broken; Mrs. William Ormsby, left arm broken and badly cut on face; Miss Anna Belle Teavo, left arm broken, right arm injured, skull fractured. The next heard from this storm is near Walkerville, Ontario, twenty miles due south of Mount Clemens. The cyclone evidently expended its force after striking Canada, as no other reports of damage have been received. After passing Dryden and Whigville, in Lapeer County, the next heard from the other storm was in Sanilac County, thirty miles away, at the village of Amadore, which was nearly swept away. The fun- nel-shaped cloud struck a mile west of the village and in a path half a mile wide and six and a half miles long, to the shore of Lake Huron, every building was more or less damaged. Tascalo County was also visited by a windstorm of cyclonic violence last even- ing. Nearly every building in the path of the storm, which started near Gilford and traveled directly east for six miles, was destroyed. Joseph Mabelburg was hit by a flying board and instantly killed. August, Julius, Fred Jnd Edward Haske, Mrs. Julius Haske and Mrs. Urbane were more or less seriously injured. it s SCORES MADFE HOMELESS. Havoo and Death Caused by the Storm in Jowa. DES MOINES, Iowa, May 26.—The re- ports from the storm-stricken country in this and Jasper counties which have been received to-day indicate that the storm’s havoc is even worse than was at first sup- posed. The property loss is much larger than ‘t4rasthiought to be yesterday. ‘Ine list of dead is now over a score, and it is probable there will be five or six more deaths, as there are a number of victins in a eritical condition. Mrs. Charles Phelan of Valeria is ex- pected to die at any time. She was the mother of the Charles Phelan family, six of whose nine members are now dead. Their funerals were held to-day at Valeria, and the six coffins were buried in the same grave, in the presence of an immense throng of people. Mrs. Schell, who lives at the home of William Osborne, has died of her injuries. The others of the Osborne family will recover. Mrs. Celia Whitney has died. She was an aged lady and very poor, She lived with Mr. and Mrs. Doug- las Akin, who had a child killed. Relief parties were sent through the dis- trict to-day from Des Moines and Colfax and public meetings will be held here to- morrow to raise funds to help the desti- tute. Fully two score of homes have been wiped out of existence; in every case there is no salvage at all. Some of the families are very poor and it will be neces- sary to raise several thousand dollars. Most of the property damaged was ncrth- east of Valeria in Jasper County. The Supervisors of Polk and Jasper counties will meet to-morrow to appropriate funds for the relief work.

They repaired to the window in CONVERTED INTO A REVENUE MEASURE An Amendment Tacked on to Sherman’s Filled Cheese Bill. EXTRA TAX ON BEER. Dubois” Method for Making Up the Amount of the Pres- ent Deficiency. LOSS OF A MOTION TO TABLE IT. Final Conference Report on the Legis. lative, I}xecutivo and Judicial Appropriations Agreed To. WASHINGTON, D. C., May 26.—The House measure known as the “filled cheese” bill came up before the Senate to- day under the lead of Senator Sherman, who reported it from the Senate Commit- tee on Finance. Its object is to discourage the manufacture and sale of an adulter- ated article of food by imposiug a heavy license or manufacturers and wholesale dealers, and its supporters advocated its passage, not as # revenue measure, but as a protection to dairymen and the general public, Alfter a couple of pension bills had been passed unanimous consent was asked by Sherman (R.) of Ohio to take up the filled- cheese bill, but objection was made by Harris (D.) of Tennessee, who said no agreement could be made about that bill. The request for unanimous consent was thereupon. changed by Sherman into a motion to take up the bill, and that mo- tion was agreed to—ayes 36, noes 14. The filled-cheese bill was then taken up, and an amendment was offered to it by Dubois (R.) of Idaho to impose an addi- tional tax of 75 cents & barrel on beer. Sherman moved to lay the amendment on the table, which was defeated by a vote of 25 to 30. The amendment being before the Senate, ‘Vilas opposed it, declaring that if the Sen- ators desired to kill a meritorious bill—a bill to prevent the constant and continued perpetration of injurious and shameful frauds on farmers—the adoption of the amendment was a very skillful means to defeat it utterly and entirely. Dabois referrea to the situation as a lue dicrous one. Senators were censured be- cause they could not agree to reduce reve- nue, but those who expressed their disgust were those who would raise revenue only in their own way. Mills advocated the amendment and criticized the position of Vilas. ‘Without action on the beer amendment the fillea-cheese;bill went over and Butler’s bond bill was taken ‘up, Pritchard (R.) of North Carolina addresting the Senate. Quoting from Sherman’s speech in the last Congress against the use of the “resump- tion fund” for ordinary expenditures, he said nothing had occurred to change his mind since that speech was made. The misapplication of public funds had to be prevented, and there were only two ways to prevent it. One way was to pass an emergency protective tariff measure, and the other was to take from the Secretary of the Treasury the power to issue bonds ana increase the public debt when there was no necessity for such conduct. Lindsay (D.) of Kentucky opposed the bond biil, expressing the belief that its passage would result in a suspension of specie payments within sixty days. At the close of Lindsay’'s speech the bond bill went over without action. The conference report on the legislative appropriation bill was explained by Cul- lom (R.) of Illinois. The Senate amend- ment in regard to register of copyrights. he said, had been receded from. The amendment fixing the time for the meet- ing of the New Mexico Legislature on the 1st of July, 1896, had been changed so as to make the time the 30th of June, 1897. The provision as to the Attorney-General designating where United States commis- sioners are to be appointed had been changed so as to give the authority to the District Judge, and the provision as to deputy clerks of United States courts had been changed so as to allow the deputy clerks of circuit or district courts to act as commissioners with the approval of the judge. The conference report on the sundry civil appropriation bill was presented and the east wall and to a solid bar of iron at- | eXplained by Allison (R.)of Towa.
