ZEIUS St CO., Philadelphia, P. AFTER THE RECESS. Congress Settles Down to "Work Once More.. TO i OBSTRUCT TARIFF LEGISLATION Is the Plan of Republicans in the Hou A Lively Opening The Senate Springs ' the Hawaiian Question Early Hard Fighting: Expected. "Wasiuxgton, January 4. In the' House the resignations of Colonel Fellows and Mr. Fitch, of New York, who have been elected respectively district attorney and comptroller of the currency of New York, were read, and the speaker also presented the credentials of Mr. Adams, of Pennsyl vania, who ' has been elected to suc ceed the late Mr. O'NeilL The fight then began, Mr. Boutelle, on behalf of the republicans, putting forward the Hawaiian matter to an tagonize the tariff bill. Mr. Hitt, the head of the minority of the foreign affairs committee, stated that inasmuch as this proposition gave the republicans substantially what they desired, viz., a time fixed for de bate on the , Hawaiian 'matter, he would be glad to accept it. Then there was quite a wrangle over Mr. Boutelle's effort to call up his resolution as a privileged question, which effort was a failure. Immediately after the reading of the journal, in. the senate, Senator Blackburn presented the credentials of Senator Eppa Hunton, of Virginia, and the oath of office was administered to the new senator, Senator Frve nresented a resolution i declaring that in the opinion of the j senate during the investigation of the I committee on foreign relations, of our relations with Hawaii, there ! should be no interference on'the part j of the United States by moral influ ences or physical force for the resto- ration of the ex-queen, or of the main- tenance of the . provisional govern- j ment of the Hawaiian islands, and that naval forces should be used in the islands only for the protection of the lives and property of American citi zens. He asked that the resolution lie upon the table for the present. Senator Hill presented .a bill limit ing the effect of the regulations of commerce between the several states and with foreign countries. ; A bill called up by Senator Pugh, of Alabama, for the relief of certain al iens, who had acquired property in the district occasioned much discus sion as it develoded the fact that aliens we :e incompetent to hold prop erty in tie District of Columbia. The bill was 1 assed, it being for the relief of David B. Godwell, and legalizing his ownership of reaj. estate in the district. The ways and means committee has agreed to;report a bill providing for a '2 per cent, tax on individual incomes over 54,000. Washington, January 5. The house was without a quorum again today, and consequently did nothing. , Mr. Houtelle again attempted to get up his resolution censuring tne president. Mr. McMillan raised the question of consideration. The republicans re fused to vote. The democrats could not muster ft quorum, and' the house was in-con sequence adjourned. In the senate Mr. Hoar presented the following resolution, with the re quest that it lie on the table for the present: "Resolved, That the secretary of the treasury be requested to inform the sena; of what sums have been paid to the Hon. James II. Blount for salary, services and other expenses as special j commissioner to Hawaii, together with copies of all orders, vouchers and re ceipts for such payment, and also to inform the senate from what funds and under or by virtue of what appro priation of law the same have been paid." FURNISHED LIKE A PARLOR. Was a Koubers' Ien Beneath the Agri cultural Building. Chicago, January 8. A robbers' roost, rich with plunder, has been found beneath the floor of the great agricultural building at the world's fair grounds. The thieves escaped, but much valuable stolen property was recovered. The den was sumptu ously furnished with Turkish rugs,, fa, brics from foreign looms, rich dra peries and comfortable divans. Fine brandies, high wines and imported 'cigars were scattered abimt the place in great profusion. The two men were seen stealing whisky bottles, nd following them, officers found the den. The men dropped through " a hole in the floor and the officers in 'pursuit found, a well-beaten path un def the building leading to the den. It is probable that the thieving has jbeen going on ever since the close of the fair, as artiles have been missed from the building for many weeks. - lvma ins City ', nfobman. Live Oak, Fla., January 8. Fol lowing' upon the attempted assassi nation of ex-Sheriff Potsdamer, on Friday night, our town is wild with excitement tonight over the murder , 'of H. J. Willis, city watchman, last : night. Willis was shot through the heart and his head was literally split 'to pieces with , a hatchet, or other sharp weapon. The murderer after killing him, straightened out his form and left him lying on his back beside the city pound. He was employed to keep hogs from running at large in the city streets and a great deal of ill feeling had been created by taking them up. The pound was full of hogs and Willis was guarding them. There is no clue to the murderer. ' ACnuk Alter Gorge Goaldi New York, January 6. A crank of the name of E. -C Chick' yesterday went to the Lakewood hotel, Lake wood, N.

" Huntington Transfers Property to tli Illinois Central. Lnnsvn.LE, Ky., January C. A deed was filed in the county clerk's office today formally transferring all of C. P. Huntington's property in Louis ville to the United States Trust Com pany of New York, for the benefit of the Illinois Central Railroad Company. I Mr. Huntington is joined in the deed by his w ife. The property thus trans ferred to the trust company is for the use and benefit of the Illinois Central road and substantiates the rumor of a deal between the Chesapeake, Ohio and Southwestern and the Illinois Central. The Illinois Central Railroad Company mortgaged its property this morning to the 'United States Trust Company, of New York, to issue a five-million-dollar bond issue, the bonds to be given to C. P. Huntington, in payment for his interest in the Chesa peake, Ohio and Southwestern. The formal transfer of the Louisville Rail way Transfer Company to the; Louis ville and Nashville was also made. The Louisville and Nashville has owned this railroad for some time, and the transfer is merely formal. It runs from south Louisville to the head of Jefferson street, and is used by all incoming and outgoing trains. AN ENRAGED BULL. Kiils a Woman and Badly Bruises Several 3Ien in Louisville. Louisville, Kt., January 8. A fine Holstein bull broke away today while being led along the street and played havoc before being captured. The "bull attacked Mrs. Anna Goldstein, sixty years of age, and tossed her into the air several times and trampled her beneath its feet. She was instantly killed. ' Leaving the woman the bull dashed up Floyd street and at Green street tossed Charles Green into the air, bruising him very badly. Half a block further George Watson crossed the bull's path and met " with a similar re ception. He was severely hurt. Will Denham, a one-arm man, at this point came up and seized the rope which was tied about the bull's horns. The enraged animal turned upon him, but Denham dodged around a tree, when he tied the rope. A party of men were sent for and the angry ani- mal was taken away: Mansfield and Jeffries, who own the bull, will be sued by the dead woman's husband, and also by the men who were injured.

COOKED ALIVE. A Terrible Accident Cs ased by Carelessness, and Two Lives Lost. Chattanooga, Tens., January 6. Two men were fairly cooked alive in a terrible boiler explosion that oc curred at 10 o'clock this morning in the roundhouse of the Cincinnati Southern railway. . Charles Beckert, a white boiler mak er was engaged in repairing an engine which came in last night with a leak in the steam flues. He was standing in the fire box with Jesse Lang, a col ored assistant. Mistaking a screw plug for a driven plug, he gave the screw a careless tap, driving it in. The steam burst through the small aperture with a loud report. Both men were horribly scalded and the flesh dropped from their bodies in a sickening manner. Death was in stantaneous. The bodies were taken to Sharp's morgue, where a verdict of death from the carelessness of Beckert was found by the coroner's jury. A FATHER'S GHASTLY FIND, 15F.SSBMER. ALA.. January 8. A r.ir- rible murder was committed today a few miles below Bessemer. -Mr. James Huffman, a deputy sheriff, warned a negro who was trespassing upon his father's premises to keep off. He refused to do so and Huffman ar- ! rested him, but the negro plead so hard for his release that Huffman let him go. A short time afterwards Huffman heard shooting going on in another part of his father's plantation. He rode out to see what the trouble was. In a short time the horse came galloping back riderless. Mr. Huff man's father went In search of him and found his son with his head al most blown from his shoulders. The murder is supposed to be the work of the negro arrested by Huffman, and a posse is now in pursuit of. him. If he is captured tonight it will un doubtedly save the expense of a trial Tut iurv.

THE UNEMPLOYED OF THE COUNTRY Their Petition to the Authorities The Great Nambrr of Thein In Iowa Can ada Affected, Also, br the Depres sion In the United States. New Yobk, January 9. The wide spread distress among the unempl6yed of New York, now estimated to num- 1 ber 100,000, with 400,000 additional de pendent upon their labors for support, 1 n i;rS rtn f ' h a n t-i tt AT Honflw f.rt naRS this comment upon the condition of j the country, "I have been through all the panic's of the last thirty years, but I have never seen one in which the distress was so widespread aBd reached so many people who previously had not been affected as this panic of 1893. It has thrown over 2,000,000 people out of employment: and calculating five persons, which is a small estimate, to a family, that means 10,000,000 peo ple with no bread winner among them and no possibility of winning bread." A representative of the unemployed invaded Wall street and called atten tion to the suffering among the peo ple. He was a toutly built man of forty-five. , He knelt on the marble steps of the subtreasury before the statute of Washington, bowed his head reverently, crossed himself and remained in an . attitude of prayer several minutes occasionally with alp turned face, addressing the father of his country audibly. Passers-by who heard his devotions say he prayed that relief be sent to the poor. .His devotions finished he descended . the' steps and after a contemptuous glance at the crowd walked away. , "Well," remarked a Wall street man, 'if more Americans felt like that there would be less talk' of anarchy in this country." ' The committee of fifteen appointed at the meeting of trades unionists last night called on Mayor Gilroy this afternoon to confer with him on the condition of the - unemployed.. . and to enlist his aid in their behalf. Dr. ; Stanton Colt acted as spokesman 1 He j asked that some provision be made by the city to give work to the idle. The mayor replied that he would do all in his power to help those willing to work. ; . . . ; Just before the committee of' trades unionists called on the mayor there was almost a riot among the crowd of poor persons who assembled at the headquarters of the University Settle ment Society, at 26 Delancey street., A howling mob of several hundred ! men, women and children of all creeds ' and nationalities, congregated in front of the buildings in the ealy hours of : the morning before the" distribution of tickets for food, clothing and other necessaries of life was begun. Grow-' ing impatient over the long wait, they grew bolder and attempted to force an entrance into the store or ground floor, where the supplies were being arranged. FRANCH'S BOAST. The Spanish Anarchist Wishes His Bomb Had Killed More. Madrid, January 8. The sensation of the day in Anarchist, police and political circles is , the arrest of Salva dor Franch, the noted Anarchist lead er, chief of the conspiracy to cause death and destruction in the Liceo theatre. Before the examining magistrate, Franch confessed to being the author of the Liceo theatre bomb outrage, lie says that he alone was respon sible for the outrage in which twenty-five people were killed and over fifty others injured, some of whom have since died of their injuries. Franch said:' "Taking. a bomb in each hand I hurled one of them with all my force ' into the centre of the closely packed stalls, where the group of select people were sitting, and a fine explosion followed the landing of the boinb. I threw the other one al most immediately afterwards, but I don' t believe it exploded, as I should have killed a nice lo; of bourgeoise. I aimed it with particular care at the portion of the theatre where that hated class was thick. , "Of course there was a terrible row and panic after the explosion of the bomb, and before it had in any way passed I was enabled to get away, as 1 was already clear of seats and had no difficulty in making for the stair case and from there running down in to the street."" Franch then told how he remained in hiding, supplied with all the news by his brother Anarchists. When questioned as to how he obtained the feombs Franch said: "I made the bombs myself, according to the pre scribed f ormular, and I regret deeply that so few people were killed." Franch, who is a tall, fine looking man of about 30 years of age, comes of a respectable family. He left home when 14 years of age and went to Barcelona, where he soon joined the Anarchists society and as he grew older distinguished himself by his daring utterances and fiery advice.

SOT APT TO FIGHTJ Governor Mitchell Says the "Two Thugs" Can't Meet in Florida . HE WILL DECLARE MARTIAL LAW Charley is Not Very Anxious He Refuses to Sign Sew Articles oi Agreement, and the Duval Clnb is All Broken Up Over It. Jacksonville, Fla., January 8. One development has followed another m rapid succession today in the Cor-bett-Mitchell affair. The cases in the criminal court against Corbett and'' Mitchell fell through this morniiuf,-' because the solicitor declined to prosecute them. The mayor vetoed the five-ounce-glove ordinance andj the council passed it over his veto by a two-third vote. The Duval club, now admits that it has requested Cor bett and Mitchell to sign new articles of agreement and a test fight will soon be had at the Park opera house, to see if a case at law can be made in a glove contest under articles of agree ment exactly like those which were signed in New York for Corbett and Mitchell. ' I " The county solicitor's action this morning is claimed as a victory by both sides. The Duval club officials insist that Solicitor . Christie could find no law under which to proceed against the two pugilists and so 1 re treated rather than go on with the case and be whipped in open court. The governor s friends say that he scored a big point by choking off the plub from getting a favorable decision in the habeas corpus case, now a dead letter. It is the general belief that the governor drew Christie into a cor ner by threatening to remove him from office if he prosecuted these two I cases. In all probability the mysteri ous telegram received, irom the gov ernor one day last Week, contained the lash which the governor plied over the attorney's back. But it must be admitted that the club was thunder struck by the turn things took this morning. Manager Bowden says tonight, how ever, that the club's attorneys are al ready preparing the papers for another case in which Judge Call must pass on tho law applicable to this con test. ' . The Duval Club admits that it has asked the pugilists to sign new articles of agreement. "This was done," said Manager Bowden, "simply as a precaution in case the fight should be stopped here. These new articles simply provide that the fight may' be pulled off at some point beyond the two-mile limit from the city of Jacksonville, as agreed in the first articles, and at another time if necessary, either twenty-fon.r hours before or after noon of January 25th. You see this allows us a chance to evade the au thorities, if they stop the fight at the arena and would make the fight a dead sure thing. We could say to the 20,000 people who may come here to see this fight, that they can see it anyway; that we will have it in some place con venient to Jacksonville. Corbett signed the new articles without hesi tation as soon as he understood them thoroughly, but Mitchell declines to do feo, "'As soon as Mitchell signs the new articles," said- Joe Vending, of New York, "the Duval Club will add 100" men to its present force of carpenters on the arena." ' "Yes,"' added Manager Bowden, "and when he does we will promise upon our honor as business men and gentlemen that everybody who comes to Jacksonville to see this fight can see it without being put to any incon venience. Mitchell can make the fig-lit sure by signing, or it is possible for him.to stop it by still persisting in his refusal to sign." -. Governor Mitchell today sent the fol lowing telegram to a Cincinnati paper: "The Corbett-Mitchell prize fight will not take place in Florida unless the supreme court of this state decides that there is no law prohibiting suoh a fight. There will be no necessity for proclaiming martial law to prevent such a fight, but, were it necessary. I would not hesitate to proclaim it, as I am determined to prevent this fight by any and' all means within the reach of the executive. There can be no doubt as to my Dosition, and people who come here with the expectation of seeing the laws of the state violated by two thugs and their aiders and abettors, will be disappointed. Jacksonville, Fla., January 4. Charley Mitchell signed the amended articles of agreement today, undar pressure from the officials of the Duval Athletic Club, and thus relieves him self of the charge of being a "rank quitter." The amended articles now provide that the fight shall take plaoe in Duval or St. John's county, the the latter county being the one in which Mitchell's training quarters are located. Sheriff Uroward, in an interview to day said he would obey "the governor' order, and use every legal means to prevent the fight in Duval county.' Blew Oat the Gas. Savannah, Ga January 8. H. C McDonald, of Hamlet, N. C, blew out the gas in room 14 at the Screven House last night, and this morning was found a corpse. Mr, McDonald came in on the Southbound railroad, and was on his way to Florida, where he had been offered a position on a turpentine farm. There was no evi dances whatever that his act was sui cidal, but it was evidently a plain case of ignorance. The coroner took charge of the body, and will ship it back to his home tomorrow. .
