WASHINGTON, Jan. 14,—Senator Gor- man’s speech to-day on the financial sit- uation developed a sharp attack on Sen- ator Hill for his opposition to the in- come tax, and his willingness to ally himeelf with the extreme tariff reformers if by #o doing he could defeat that m ure, “There seems,” sald Senator Gorman, “to be something In the atmosphere of tions of the Government and the rail- roads, This disagreement led to the report that there were dissensions in the Cab- inet, but a semi-official note was pub- lished yesterday denying that there wer: disagreements in regard to the Gov- ernment's general policy. and people Northern New York which prevents any statesman from that section to ever be capable of compromising, yet if he had Talking Over the Strike. were not anticipating an immediate Cab- inet crisis, M. Millerand said that it was not M. Bar- thou alone who had been brought before the Council to give an account of the| Conventions existing between the State and the railroad companies. But it was the whole Cabinet which had been called upon for an explanation. The decision of the Council of State, therefore, af- fected the entire Cabinet, yet only one Minister had taken the correct attitude acd had resigned. The Ministry, according to M. Miller- and. was also to blame for submitting @ question to the Council which purely belonged to the Chamber of Deputies to decide, and, amid interruptions, the speaker demanded an inquiry to see whether grounds existed for criminally prosecuting M. Raynal, who was Min- ister of Public Works in 1883. M. Millerand then submitted a reso- lution censuring the Government for | Utigious question and for an inquiry putting before the Council’ of State a into M. Baynal's conduct. (Applause from the members of the Left,) United States Marshal Campbell ar- fived in the city this afternoon, and a warrant for Abbott's arrest was at once Issued. ‘The defaulter heard that the Marshal was coming to arrest him, and going to his room a few moments before 3 o'clock he dellberately shot himself through the head and died soon after. He was dead before the Marshal reached the hous and the officer did not enter the resi- dence. The greatest excitement prevails throughout the city, It is believed that Abbott left a statement for the bank di- recor: ‘A notice was posted on the doors of the bank this morning announcing that the Institution had suspended and that, by order of the Board of Direc- tore, the bank's affairs had been taken in charge by Bank Examiner C.
