One of the pair, who had an oblong card box un der his arm, rather hesitatingly pro posed to leave the box as security. His companion objected that it was scarcely wise ;to trust it to Hsrriman, but after some more conversation oal eulated to impress Harriman with the value of the parcel, they offered him the mysterious box. Harriman wanted to know its contents, but the men objected, and when he in sisted upon opening it out of them idled towarda the door and made a successful break for the street.

NUMBSB Or MIMBSB8 OF THS HOUSE ILL BILLS AHD BXSOLUTIOMS INTB0DU0H IS BOTH E0USIS. - :;j By Telecraph to the Hews and Cbsorer. ! f Washirotoh, Jan. 7 ciaNi tb Amone the bills prefea'eil anl re ferred, was one by Mr. F .nlkuer, to provide for the World's I spjsitian at the National Capital in 1892. Mr. Harris (in ab? net at Mr. Beck, and in his name) ictrod'-oed tbe bill to suspend operatic ui tie sinking fund laws until further ord.r of the Ooneress. It was referred to the finance committee. ; Mr. Yoorhees offered preamble and resolutien reciting the newspaper re- Eort that Mr. Chambers one of the United States District Attorneys, at Indianopolis, had in terf erred in his official earjacitv to oreveat the arrest W. W. Dudley on the charge of felo- , - i i i i . , mousiy violating ne leiecuQua laws of Indiana at the last Presidential election, and directing the Attorney General to report what instructions the department of justice had issued to Mr. Chambers on the subject, and to furnish copies of the correspond ence. He asked that the resolution go over till tomorrow when he would submit some remarks upon it. Mr. Edmunds That ia right: I am in favor of the substance of it. The resolution went over. : Mr. Morgan proceeded to address the Senate on the subject of a bill heretofore introduoed by Mr. Butler to provide for the emigration of per sons of color from the Southern States. In summing up his speech Mr, Morgan pointed to the fact that the negroes had no ehanoe to rue in this country. There were no negro bank presidents: no negro railroad presidents; no negro presidents of commercial, mining ; or navigation eompanies; no negro directors, cash iers or tellers in banks; no negro en gineers or conductors on railways; no negro State or Federal judges; no negro Governors of States or Territo- nee; no negro in any Northern legis lature; no negro , representative in either House of Congress from any Northern State. The negroe's entire field of endeavor was limited to political exploits. This field was occupied with little benefit to himself and with great injury to others. Political influence would never lift the negro race in i this country above its present level. On the contrary the friction and col lision caused by the negroes' use of a ballot would create more and more envy against the negro race. He (morgan) looked forward to the establishment 1 of a free republican government in the Congo region by the influence of the American negroes who would thus be redeemers and regenerators of their fatherland. He had a plan which he would present to the committee on foreign relations but he should indulge in the hope that some plan better than his would be found to facilitate the , important work of civilizing tha interior of central Africa by inducing eight mil lions of negroes in this country to contribute their strength, knowledge and Christianity to that work. He thanked the senate for the patience with which it had listened to his re marks. ; v-- A message from the I President in relation to the claim of the widow of Jno. Paul, a German subject, aris ing out of his death in Wilmington, fit- u , and recommending an appro priation of $5,000, was presented to the Senate and referred to the com mittee on foreign relations. After a brief executive session de void to routine busi&eu the Senate adj 'Urued. i - - : HOD8B. 1 There was an unusually small nam ber of the members present when the House was called to order at noon, and the prayer of the chaplain for protection of the sick representatives was listened to with unwonted in terest. '' v 1 1 -' On motion of Mr. Carlisle, of Ken tucky, (acting under instructions from the committee on rules), a reso lution was adopted providing for the appointment of two additional mem bers on the committee on commerce; The Speaker stated to the House that (in aooordanoe with the authority vested in him yesterday) he had ad ministered the oath of office to Sam'i J. Btndal), of Pennsylvania. A Mr. MoOomas, of Maryland, offered a resolution that the House resolve for the consideration of the Distriot of Columbia appropriation bill, the committee to be governed by the rules of the last Congress. Mr. Breckenridge, vf Kentucky, called. Mr. MoOomaai' attention to the fact that both Mr. Dockery, of Mis souri,' and Mr. Clements, of Georgia, (members of the sub-committee of the committee on appropnauooe) were absent on aooount of sickness, and asked that ihe bill be not considered today. Mr. MeOomas said that so far as he knew there was no difference in re gard to the bill, existing between his Democratic colleagues and himself, and be insisted upon pressing his resolution. :--' Mr. Breckenridge thereupon raised the question of consideration against the resolution. . The 8peaker rulel that the ques tion of consideration could not be rrised against the resolution beciuse the resolution was in the nature of motion regulating the business of the House. Mr. Breckenridge c&Med attention to tne iac; tnac Jtne 'o-'nuon went further than that i p- . video! for the adoption of a code tf r-' , but the Sptiakbi mainlined his ' siiin. Mr. BriKsksuridf sppealfd f. ;tn the deoiaiun acd yielded thp flwr to Mr Oarbsle, of New York, who v'&ronp. ly attacked the Speaker's ruling- He agreed no queati on of eon'ulerftion could be raised agai? st the motiun to go into committee of the who'e, but the pending reeoluFon went itt be yond that and provided (temporarily, it was true,) for codes of rules. He thought the time had come when the House (if it was to be governed by rules) should have those rules. (Ap plause.) All the gentlemen on both sides of the House had a right to know orecfrely what their riehts were here as representatives of their con stituents.' It was now the 7th of January, the House had been in session (exoept for recess) since the first Monday in December, and yet all that had been done towards the adoption of: the rules was to agree from time to time that the House should be governed by part of the rules of the last House. He had no special objection to the consideration of the appropriation bill at this time, but if the Bouse established this precedent the mi nority, had no 'aiBuranca that the House' was - not to go on without any rulea. j The 'rules were intended not only for the government of the House, but alio that this representatives of the minority of the American people might be protected and those repre sentatives had the right to kcow by wbat rules they ere to be governed, were ready at any The Demoora time to oonsider he whole body of of the rules, an until then it was hardly fair to st npon them parts of the rules porarily, and leave them without an knowledge as to what rulea would! govern them when the next measure came up for con sideration.! He hoped that the ap peal would be sustained: but if it was not, he hoped the resolution would be defeated and tne House be allowed to stand where it I was until the per manent rules were adopted for its government. I ; V'V ' ' Mr. Crisp, of Georgia, followed in the same line, contending that the question of consideration could be raised against the proposition to enact certain rules temporarily just as well aa against the propoai tiion to enact a permanent code of rules. For six l weeks the House had been waiting for the committee on rules. Why could not the House have rules for its govern ment? If the majority said that it was not yet ready to report the rules, let the House adjourn from day to day until that report was prepared. The minority protested against this practice which entrusted to the Speaker the power of determining what was and was not in order with out reference to fix 3d rules. He ap pealed to the members of the major ity as fair minded men to present a uniform code of rulea. They could make the code as they desired, but he had a right to aik them to present the oode bo that tha minority might know what its tights were. Mr. Bland, of aluaoun. was o im posed to adopting the rules of the last House 7 by piece meal, and Mr. Rogers, of Arkansas, and Mr. Hooker of Mississippi, argued against the position taken by the Speaker, i jar. Aiciv,miey, oi uaio, aaia tuas tbe committee on rules won'd report a oode of rules within a reasonable time, and the only question : before the House, was whether wti'e wait ing that report the public business was to be J suspended. Tbe country was infinitely mre concerned in what the House did than in the rules nnder which it did it. (Applause on the Bepublican aide). He called at tention to the fact that there was no bill seeking priority of the considers- a W a f . a "II - al uon wiw sue iistriet diu, ana snere was no question of consideration to be raised.' . Mr. MoMillin, Of Tennessee, con tended that the question of consid eration 03uld be raised, even if there was not another matter pending in the House. He urged the importance of the speedy adoption of a code of rules- - X "'' :; ';t-H 1 Mr. Herbert, of Alababama, main tained that the House had the right at any time to deoline to consider any proposition, and he argued that the Speaker's position waa a mistaken one. The decision of the Chair was sustained by a vote of yeas 135; nays 124 -a party vote. Mr. MoOomas then demanded the brevlons Question on the adoolion of his resolution and it was ordered yeis 181, nays J22. No further opposition to the reso lution was made by the Democrats, and it having been adopted the House went into committee of tbe whole for the consideration of tbe District bill. The committee, bow ever, remained in session only a few moments, considering the first para graph of the bill, and having risen the Honse at 4:10 adjourned. --jl V.'.': BUrtaUjrWemade.

The Csarlsa'a Hopes.' It ia announoed in St Pertersburg that the empress of Russia will soon become a mother. This newi ia some thing of a surprise. The czarina, born Prinoesa Dagmar, sister of the prin cess of Wales, is now just past forty- two yeara of age. Her hrst child, the Ozare witch Nicholas, was born ir May, 1868; the second, the Grand Duke George, in April, 1871; th third, the Grand Duchess Xenie, in March, 1875; the forth, the Grand Duke Michael in November, 1878, and the fifth, the Grand Duchess O'ga, b June," 1882. All these were born either at the Winter palace at St Petersburg or in the Summer palace at Zzarskoe Selo. Some years ago, at the coronation in Moscow, where the czarina received a deputation of Poles it was hinted that in case of a fresh family event in the imperial family on the Neva,her majesty nrght graciously condescend to follow the example of the empress of Austria and give her next child its natal place in the palace of the Polish kings at Warsaw. The czarina ia usually acknowledged as the imperial protectress of the interests of Poland in the esar'a palace. - A cable dispatch from St. r Peters burg states that the condition of the Grand Duke Nicholas is so grave that the court festivities will not be held in St. Petersburg. . . aUrrlo m Sight, j; Baltimore 8as.

The Baltimore Manufacturers' Be cord says; "The organization of a oompany to build a 150-ton .Bessemer furnace at Greensboro, N. O , to be followed, by other f urnaoes and steel rail mill, means a great deal for the railroads of that State. A furnace to produce 150 tons of iron a day will create about 800 tons of freight a day in the way of ore, coke, lime stone and the iron that it makes out of these materials. Taking 300 days a year as the average time in blast, though f urnaoes do not abut down ror Sundays, the total freight created by this one furnace , will be 240,000 tons a year. That means 12,000 car load of i freight, averaging 40,000 pounds to the oar. The entire cotton crop of North Carolina is oily about 100,000 to 110,000 tons in weight, so that this one Greensboro furnace will furnish double the amount of tonnage to the railroads that the whole oot ton crop of the State does. Then the building of this furnace means the befirinninar of North Carolina's iron and steel development, and many other furnaoes will follow. " 11 SBsssB--BaBSassanaai .. . -- . i.i .
