Partial confirmation his been ob tained here of cable diipatcbes that . Belgium is to take a prominent part In the administration of the customs receipts. . Mr. Bowen declines to dis cuis tbe details of his plan, however, until the blockade has been raited.

They have been referred to us for consideration and our views are now to be communicated at once to Rome, London and Berlin.'

A Chinese marriage Is all ceremony bo talk, no levity and much crying. The solemnity of a funeral prevails. After tbe exchange of presents the bride Is dressed with much care In a red gown, brocade or silk, If she can get It; her eyelashes are painted a deep black, and she wears a heavy red veil attached to a scarlet headdress, from which Imitation pearls are pendent over the forehead. A feast Is spread upon a table, to which tbe blushing bride la led by five of her best female friends. They are seated at the table, but no one eats. Tbe utmost silence prevails, when, finally, the mother leads off In a cry, the maids follow and the bride echoes In the chorus. Then all the bridesmaids leave the table and the disconsolate mother takes a seat beside the chair of state where the bride sits. The bridegroom now enters, 'with four of his best men. The men pick up the throne on which the bride aits, and, preceded by tbe bridegroom, form in procession and walk around the room or Into an adjoining parlor, signifying that he Is carrying her away to his own home.

Carmick Denounced the charge That Democrat! Were It Aiiallaots-The Statehood Bill Debated Pre ' ceedlofs la the House. , . ; By Tatettrson to to Morning star. Washington, Jan. 28. A sharp de bate was precipitated in the Senate to day when Mr. Rawlins called up bis resolution offered yesterday directing the Secretary of War to furnish the 8enate the proceedings of a number of court martiala in the Philippines. In tbe course of bis remarks Mr. Bawlina referred to the death of Father Augus tin and said he was murdered in cold blood. This aroused the ire of Mr. Beveridge, who demanded specifically to know who had committed the cold blooded murder. Mr. Oarmack entered the debate and characterized the charge, which be said repeatedly bad been made, that tbe Democrats were assailing the army, as tbe "meanest and dirtiest" or any that had been made against that party. Mr. Proctor defended Captain Cor nelius M. Browneli, who had been mentioned in the Bawlina resolution as being responsible for Father Augus tus death. Mr. Bawlina said he had not speci fically charged any person with hav ing committed cold blooded murder, but his statement . was eased on am- davits on file in the War Department. "it ia the old charge," he said "that we have called attention to tortures and thereby have been arraigning tbe American army. It is a false and in famous charge, and I will cram it down the teeth of tbe men who have falsely given it utterance. I brand the statement as Infamous, if not cowardly. It ia simply an att mpt to put me in a false position which I will not occupy." u.u "If that I the best explanation the senator can give," remarked Mr. Bev eridge, "for his remarkable language here, I think the best friend the sen ator has would advise him to accept the alternative of silence." Mr. Hoar Interrupted and asked if it was fair to impute to anybody a desire to attack the American army when tbe government of the United 8tates itself through its military authority has made such charges. -Mr. Oarmack characterised the charge that the Democrats were as sailing the army, as the "meanest and dirtiest" of all that had been made. "It haa been tbe vermin," he said, "of this debate and I am a little surprised to find it crawling in the hair of the honorable senator from Indiana. Jake Smith is no more the Amer ican army than the aenator from In diana ia the American Benate, and not half as much aa he thinka he is." Whoever made the charge, he ssid, consciously took a falsehood upon his lips when he spoke it. He declared that the Senate Committee on the Philippines had refused to investi gate the facts of the murder of Father Augustin. There had been a colicv of suppression,- he asserted, and in the case oi another witness who. he said, bad testified -falsely before the committee, he had been allowed to go unpunished. He Insisted that what ever action bad been taken by the President and the War Department had been because they were driven to it by the minority of the Senate and that even then no single fsct.was brought to light. Reply in e. Mr. Beveridge said Mr. Carmack had made Bis charge because tbe investigation did not result as he (UcUarmack) badJioped it would. air. uarmacK, again reverting to tne nvestigation by the Committee on the nuippines as to the conduct of the army in the Philippine, said that it occupied but four days of seven hours each, "although the secretary of war, with bis usual loose and lavish un- veracity, said it occupied five months." Mr. Proctor defended Captain Cor nelius M. Browneli. who is charged in the Bawlina resolution with being re sponsible fer the death of Father An gttitin. Mr. Proctor declared that Father Augustin wss the head and front of the insurrection in his district. From bis standing Jn the church, he said. Father Augustin was able to divert, contrary to tne canons oi the church, its revenues from their legitimate pur- f pose and me them to further the in surrection. Mr. Proctor, replying to Mr. Till man, said that Captain Bromwell had been mustered out of service and that the judge advocate general had held that he could not now be court mar- tialed. Mr. Tillman interrupted and said that If Captain Browneli is inno cent of murder he might not be able to prove it, but that those who desired to do so should be allowed to produce evidence showing that be is not Inno-. cent. Mr. Proctor said that Captain Brow neli was justified in taking the steps be did. He hsd. ha said, seen men hung for a much less violation of the rulea of war than Father Augustin was guilty of. Mr. Tillman declared that "for the honor of the American army I would to Qcd Father Auguitln bad been shot by a drum-head court martial in stead or tortured to death." The Statehood bill was taken up at 2 o'clock and Mr. Lodge spoke in op position to it. An attempt by Mr. Aidricn to divide the business of the 8enate with the Statehood . bill failed, and the Senate at 6:15 o'clock adjourned. House of Representatives. Tne House to day made alow pro gress with the Indian Appropriation bill, covering only about eight psges in over four hours. Among the amendments adopted was one appro priating $1,000 In settlement of the claims of tbe eastern band of Chero kee Indiana of North Caroling against the United States. Mr. Burton, of Ohio, hung on the flank oi Mr. Bherman. or New York, who had charge of the bill and Insist ed upon an explanation of every item. uo succeeded in having several ap propriations cut down. In the course of the debate he furnished some in teresting statistics on the subject of Indian education, designed to show that tbe more money the government spent tbe more helpless the Indiana became.

"V Telegraph to the norma star New York, Jan. 88. The total loss of life by last night's fearful collision on the Central railroad of New Jersey at Graceland, N. J., is up to to-night twenty. In addition to these Engi neer Davis and Fireman McCarthy, of the Philadelphia and Beading Ex press, who are in tbe hospital at Plainfield, may die at any moment and it is believed that several of .the Injured passengers cannot recover. The number of those known to be in jured is upward of fifty, of whom thirteen remain in the hospital. Tbe blame for tbe disaster is placed by the railroad officials on Engineer Davis, who, according to a policeman who took him from the shattered cab of the engine, admitted that he had seen the red and green danger lights displayed, but expecting to see them suddenly change to write, rushed on till it was too late to check speed be fore be plunged into tbe rear of tbe train ahead. No atatement baa been .obtained from Davis in the hospital. but in intervals of semi-consciousness and delirium he moans, "I saw noth ing." According to the atatement of tbe station agent at Cranford an attempt was made to hold the express at that point by telegraph, but almost at tbe instant tbe message was received the train thundered by at upwards of sixty miles an hour and the crash followed two minutes later! Most of the passengers on the local express, on which all or those killed were riding, were well-to-do residents of Plainfield, N. J., and neighboring towns, who were returning to their homes from their places of.busineaa in New York. Of the identified dead fir tee u lived in Plainfield. and in the long list of Injured, Plainfield is given as the" home or a majority. Nearly every block In the town seemed to have one or more of wounded in it to day, but the city's facilities for caring ror its stricken people were ample. The Jersey Central tracks bad been cleared before daylight, and the only signs to-day are three black patches on the spot where the wreck age burned. Another Falsi Collision, Tucson.

A strange case of n horse taking re venge on a orutai anver. is reporceu from Rennes, France. The horse was dragging a heavy load of bricks from a kiln at Lormandlere to Rennes, and the carter hardly stopped flogging him all the way. On reaching Rennes the driver was unharnessing when the horse bolted down the street He al lowed himself to be caught and led back quietly, but the moment he saw his tormentor he rushed at him, caught him in his teeth, dashed the man to the ground and rolled upon him. The man was seriously injured and would prob ably have been killed but for the htlp of the people standing round, who had. nevertheless, the greatest difficulty in getting the horse away from his vic tim.

Gower is found a story of the orlgin-si the stars and stripes. : '. The "star spangled banner" of tha American republic has its origin from an old brass on the floor of Brlnston church, in Northamptonshire. The brass covers the tomb of one Robert -Washington and Is dated 1622. On it appears the Washington coat of arms,' consisting of three stars, with bars or stripes beneath them. On the first day of the new year, 1776, the thirteen united colonies raised a standard at Washington's headquarters. This introduced the stripes of the present, but retained tbe crosses of St George and St Andrew on a blue ground in the corner. In 1777 the cross es were replaced by stars, as the Dec laration of Independence rendered the retention of tbe English element unnec essary and Inconvenient In thus adopt ing the arms of his ancestors as his own distinctive badge Washington no doubt Intended the flag merely as a private signal for his own personal fol lowing, but It was at once adopted as a national emblem.
