THE PROCEEDINGS OF THE HOUSE DECIDEDLY RACY. Congressman Pence's Dupiiclty Ex posed Mis Unparliamentary Lan guage Declaring a Member Fuller of Beer Thau of Ideas The Bland Bill Before the Committee of the Whole. ; SENATE. ' , Washington, Feb. 26. The necessity or the anxiety of the Democratic Senators to arrive at some definite agreement on the subject of the Tariff bill led to an early ad journment of the Senate to-day the re mainder of the afternoon being spent in a Democratic caucus, as a portion of the fore noon had been. During the forty minutes that the public session lasted there was pre sented, in compliance with a resolution adopted last week, a copy of the correspond, ence between the Treasury Department and the Department of Justice as to whether silver certificates issued under the Bland Allison act of February 28, 1878, are ''lawful money" under certain statutes. The opin ion cf the Department of Justice as given to the Treasury Depaitment is that these sil ver certificates "are just what they purport to be," that they are only lawful money to the extent that they are received for cus toms, taxes and other public dues, and that they are not lawful money within the mean ing of the statutes cited. The opinions of the Commissioner on Foreign Kelations in regard to the Hawaiian questions were presented by the chairman, Senator Morgan. The Senate at 11:15 o'clock adjourned. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. Mr. Boutelle introduced the following res olution: Eezoloed, That it is the sense of the House that the most sacred obligation of good faith, the highest mutual interests of the United States and the friendly Government of Hawaii, the plainest dictates of -the in ternational comity and the imperative duty of-avoiding further risk of complicity in the incitement of disorder and possible blood shed in Hawaii, require that the present United States Minister to the Provisional Government of the Hawaiian Islands be im mediately recalled and superseded by the appointment of another Minister, who will be unhampered by the lamentable inci dents of the recent past, and who will be able and willing to represent the "sincere de sire" of the people of the United States; "to cultivate to the fullest extent the friendship which has so long subsisted between us and will "constantly endeavor to advance the interests and prosperity of both Gov ernments." i The Speaker asked upon what grounds Mr. Boutelle claimed the resolution to he privileged. Mr. Boutelle said the resolution was one of privilege for the reason that it related to the exercise of the war power and the mat? ter referred to Congress by the President. Mr. McCrearv made the point of order that it was not privileged and the Speaker held the point well taken. Mr. Boutelle said he was not very clear on the subject himself but inasmuch as the resolution was a consensus of publicopinion, t,.u . e 4U .. A f u 1. ........ .... ; UULU kiic picas auu. Ui wui ai uco iu vau- gres8, he astea unanimous consent ior us immediate passage. Mr. McCreary objected and the resolution was referred to the Committee on Foreign Affairs. I Mr. Boutelle requested that the commit tee be a little more prompt and active in the consideration of the resolution than it had been on other papers on " the same subject. Mr. Bland moved that the Mouse resolve itself into Committee of the Whole on the Seigniorage-bill, the debate to close at 4 o clock Tuesday afternoon and the bill to be further considered under the five minute rule, and on the motion demanded the pre vious question. Without, the division the yeas and nays were ordered on the previous question, resulting years, 163; nays, 5. This was eleven less than a quorum and Mr. Bland moved a call of the House. The call showed 273 members present, and further proceedings under the call were dispensed with. I Mr. Bland then cut the eordian Knot or the situation by unexpectedly withdrawing the pending motion and making one to go bill. ! I The chalr-Without limitation of debate? Mr. Bland Yes sir. The motion prevailedyeas, 119; nays, 0, and Mr. Hatch took the chair. Thus, quietly and almost without tne knowledge of the members of the House, the struggle of the past ten days was edded, and the House entered upon a new course of business. The chair recognized Mr. Pence, Populist of Colorado, as entitled to the floor and tne new member from the uentenniai eiaie at once secured the attention of the House by a aeries of sarcastic pictures oi me sm tudeofaome of the members of the Re publican and the Democratic parties to wards this question. He said that if the scenes that have transpired hare in the past ten days could have been ioreseen oy tac voters of Colorado, not a single Republican vote would have been cast in that btate The Republicans in Congress, he said, were supporters of the Democratic administra- tion on nnanciai qiesuuus. uv chief lieutenant in the other end of the Capitol was a Kepublicau fetenaior ouer- man as was tne eminent uuu auw man trom juaine jot. jieeu iu louse. . . , Turning to the Democrats, Mr.Pence singled out Mr. Patterson, of Tennessee, who he said, last summer had turned his back upon the convictions and utterances of fifteen years and voted against the fcilver interests of the country. "And I have no doubt," be con tinued, "that he secured full and untram meled control of the patronage of, bis dis trict, if not of his State." Mr. Patterson was just then talking with Mr. Culbertson, of Texas, and apparently was paying no attention to Mr. Pence, who raised his usually piercing voice to even a higher pitch as he continued: "The gentle man from Tennessee in a gentlemanly man ner declines to listen to mv suggestion. I think I will get his attention in a minute or two." , , , . At this Mr. Patterson broke off his con versation with Mr. Culbertson and took a seat several feet closer to the speaker and gave him the most earnest hearing. "And now I am informed that after hia action last summer, in the Democratic cau cus of the J.9th instant he suddenly ap peared as the most rampant silver leader, even going so far as to propose a resolution that any Democrat who refused to vote on the pending question to make a quorum should be fined 50 for his failure. As the gentleman from Kansas (Simpson) said the other day, the vote on the pending bill is being used as a cover for the retreat from the position of last-summer." ' 'When the gentleman returns home, continued Mr. Peace, "and stands up before : npnn e to ctve an account oi uu."

The text on that Occa sion was: "Be not deceivea. uw- ' mocked. Whatsoever a man soweth that shall he also teap." I came away from tne services without any especial impression, but within the past ten days I have been often impressed with the force of 8 para phrase of that text, which members of both the dominant parties might well take to heart: "Be not deceived. The people are not mocked, lhat which a party sows it shall also reap." I may be mistaken in this. The same game has been played upon the people many times, and especially upon the people of the South. Republican tfrPence proceeded for a short time to discuss the jiusrits of the bill, in the course of which he said that it- was his opinion 1,0 Tif;r Director Preston T39 the power jr, th Treasnrv Department, not Secretary L.noio "Mr. Preston has been there through many administrations too administrations," he said. many The action of the Republican Representa-' tives in failing to vote for the bill under the leadership and at the dictation of the gen tleman from Maine (Reed) was referred to at some length by Mr. Pence, who said that the minority had developed some of the most accomplished, well-rounded and slip pery dodges any legislative body had ever seen. He said that, assuming the role of a prophet for the first time, he would state that the next President would be elected by the House of Representatives in the Fifty-fifth Congress and when that occurs he warned the gentle man from Maine (Reed), who is now meas uring up on all occasions against Maj. Mc Kinley as a candidate for President in 1896, that he would then rue the past fifteen days in this House. "When the roll is called then, the vote of Colorado will count as many as the vote of New York; the vote cf Montana as many as that of Pennsylvania. Pence was led to discuss the term mug wump, and gave his definition of the term, which was a cross between a Republican cuckoo and a Democratic cuckoo. If there were no cuckoos, there would be no mug wumps. Laughter. Mr. Patterson, Democrat, of Tennessee, said that he should pay but the slightest re gard to the personal references to himself by the gentleman from Colorado. Personal criticisms, in his opinion, were out of place on the floor of the House, and but rarely did harm unless they were based upon the truth. "If there is anythingin the observa tion of my friend," aid Mr. Patterson, "It is that I made a speech last summer in favor of the repeal of ttje purchase clause of the Sherman law and against the free and ia limited coinage oft ?ilver , He thinks that now I have seen the error of my way be-, cause I am in favor of this bill. I occupy the same position now that 'I did when the Wilson bill was under con sideJration. I am still opposed to ,the free and unlimited coinage of silver, and against such a bill would now vote. But I declared last summer that I was in f avor of the coinage of the bullion in the treasury. If the gentleman had said that I was opposed to filibustering he would have, represented me truly. If 1 had my way whenever any member refused to vote on a question, and the fact of his presence being called to the attention of the chair, he should be counted, if necessary to make a quorum. Cheers on the Republican side. I am not one of those who would go back on the Ten Commandments or the Lord's Prayer simply becaus either of them has the endorsement of the gentleman from Maine (Reed) v Mr. Bland took the floor and explained why he had insisted on an understand as to the limitation of debate n the bill. He considered it more important than any other that would come after it, because it was essential to the putting of money in the treasury by which the appropriations fassed by Congress should be made availa le. Every filibustering" motion made on the bill was a movement to strike from the labors mouth the bread for which it was suffering. Cries of Oh no. "Gentlemen say, 'Oh no,' " said Mr. Bland, "but the la boring people will say 'Yes' all the time. They know the situation here. In the name of the suffering thousands of the land, I appeal to the patriotism of the gentlemen in the House to pass this bill and provide the means by which' employment may be given to them." , At this point, Messrs. Fickler, Republican, of North Dakota, and Ellis, Republican, of Oregon, rose and asserted that Mr. Pence had told them that he enjoyed seeing the Democrats in a hole as much as they did. And Mr. Pickler further asserted that Mr. Pence had told him that he himself intend ed to refrain from. voting on a certain roll call, and wanted to see the bill fall. The Republicans laughed at this apparent exposure f the Colorado Populist and Mr. Pence leaped to his feet, demanding to be heard. Instantly the House was a scene of confusion, which the vigorous ham mering of Mr. Hatch did not repress. Mr. I'ence appealed to Mr. Hepburn for a couple of minutes, which were granted him. In an impassioned manner and at the high est pitch of his voice he denounced the statement of "the gentleman from South Dakota, or Korth Dakota, or wherever he cpmes from," and of the gentleman from -uregea,- "whose windings in and windings out on this question no man can follow" as untrue and utterly without foundation. And the size of the gentleman. (both being consid erable larger than himself) made no differ ences to him, he said. Murmurs of disap probation ere heard from the Republican side. He further stated that if the gentle man from Iowa would yield him five minu tes or either Mr. Pickler or Mr. Ellis make a personal explanation so that lie coukl re spond, he would detail to the House what he had seen and everyone heard going on for the past five days. "The gentlemen cannot shield themselves behind the gentle man from Iowa in his time." "Shield themselves from what?" shouted Mr. Pickler at the top of : his voice and shaking his finger across a segment of the House circle at Mr. Pence. "I was making a fight for silver long before you came to the House." "I have her in my hand," shouted Mr.Pence m return, seventeen pages of tablets Kept upon the windings in and out of the gentle- 1.1.1 L. i 1 UU llllj lll.l. , . Mr. Reed moved that the committee rise. taking occasion, be said, to respond to the statements of the gentleman from Mis souri that in his opinion the bill would have been disposed of long ago if it had been properly managed. And it took good deal of courage, he said for a gentle man to assert the contrary and endeavor to place upon his opponents the responsibility for the results of his own mismanagement. While he was saying this Messrs. McMil- liii and Snrinsrer were standing behind Mr, Bland and the latter asked Mr. Reed when he would agree to close the debate. "When we get through." answered Mr, Reid. "The gentleman does not seem to know that the rule is for the Houde to de bate i a subiect until it is exhausted and then vote. It does not depend upon me or the gentleman from Missouri when that shall be done. But," continued Mr. Reid 'Twish the gentleman would give his at tention to the sirens who' are singing behind him and ask the questions they evidently want him to ask. I hate to see so much pantomime going on." immpdiatelv Mr. Pence took the floor to make a personal expI-SStioa. . There was the utmot possible silence through"! "e hall as.he rose, and despite the sensational j character of the subsequent proceedings, i there was no disorder apparent In the be ginning he recited the statements made in Committee of the Whole by Messrs. Pickler and Ellis, attributing to them jointly the statement that he (Pence) had said he would be glad to see the pending bill de feated. To this Ellis excepted, as he had not made, the' assertion. Mr. Pence ac cepted the correction anddded: "I do not believe that the gentleman from Oregon (Ellis) has made a statement, taken any action or cast a vote on his own hook since Congress met last August." Mr. Hainer, Republican, of Nebraska, called Mr. Pence to order, and he sat down. The words being read. Speaker Crisp ruled that they were out of order, and on motion of Mr. Bailey, Democrat, of Texas, Mr. Pence was termitted to explain. Mr. Pence said that what he nient and what he would continue to mean by the words "on his own hook" was that the member acted upon what he honestly and individually believed. Mr. Hainer again called the speaker to order, saying the explanation but added in sult to the original statement. Speaker Crisp, however, ruled that the explanation had proceeded far enough for the Chair or the House to decide that it was jipnarliamentry. Mr. Pence I don't know that a gentle men who live; as far East as Mr. Hainer knows just what the expression means out in our country, but having explained the meaning as with us, I will exp'ain it in Eng lish, as understood in the district of the orent.leman from Nebraska, in the district of the gentleman from Oregon, in the . district of the gentleman from Illinois (Canon,) from whom I borrowed it originally.

C, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY SENATORIAL CAUCUS. THE DEMOCRATIC SENATORS GETTING TOGETHER. Sugar the Bone of Contention Coal to Have a Duty of Fifty Cents Ton Important Changes Made in the Free List A Number . -of Articles Transferred from the Free to the Dutiable List. 1 '' Washisgtos, Feb. 26. The Democratic Senators met in conference this morning for an hour and a half and this afternoon for almost four hours without reaching a positive conclusion in any matter connected with the tariff bill. They did, however! take a long stride in the"direction of getting to getheriand it is probable that at the meeting to-morrow, to which time, at 5:30 o'clock an adjournment was taken, much progress will be made. ' - The discussion to-day was on general lines and was freely participated in. No proposition of any sort was put to the con ference and no vote waa taken, but before the bill is laid before the Finance committee, every disputed schedule will be disposed of and action taken that will insure the tinted BUDport of the party. ,; Sugar to-day, as it has been in the past, was a bone or contention, and while the committee has gone the short distance to meet the sugar men they have not, as those Senators look at it, gone far enough. The terms of but few schedules were made: pub lic to-day and it was noticed that the mem bers of the sub-committee clung tenaciOuslv to the copies of the bill they carried. (This committee offered a duty of 1 cent a ppund on raw sugar and an additional 1-8 of a! cent on refined, Senator White, of iLouisianp. made a vigorous speech for that duty in which he was ably seconded bv Senators Caffery and Gorman, who f ivored an in come of at least 1-4 of a cent on refined su gar. Democratic Senators are convinced thev must give a duty, but are opposed to yield ing the cent and a half the Louisiana men demand. The latter believe, however, that they will get a fairly good duty and are in clined to believe it will not fall below lie. When the conferer.ee adjourned this subject was under discussion. It is definitely settled that coal will' have duty of 50 cents a ton. A number of other changes have also been made by transfers from the free to the dutiable list of such articles as will yield revenue. Among them may be mentioned apples, green and ripe, dried and 'evaporated, pine apples, dates, cocoannts, olive, green and prepared. In addition to these fruits, bolt ing cloth, bone and charcoal and coke are made to yield a duty. Plaster of paris and sulphate of lime, lime unground, shot gun barrels, forged and rough bored, all have been transferred to the dutiable list. Some very important changes have been made, however, to the free list, and it is said that diamonds and other precious stones, uncut, which have given a revenue, of $1,000,000 a year, are stricken from the dutiable list. The lead men derive very little satisf action from the situation for it is now said that lead of all descriptions and lead ore, together with all lead products are to be put on the free list, j benators lugh ana Morgan, of Alabama, spoke this afternoon in advocacy of a, duty on lumber to protect the great lumber re gions of their States. They also want a"1 duty on iron oe, and while asking 75 cents a ton it is said would be willing to take 30 cents. It is thought they may get 20 cents. Senator White, of California, spoke for fruits, and Senators Faulkner, Camden and j Gorman for coal. 1 - The tax on Whiskey has been discussed but little, and the final disposition of this article is uncertain. . j During the discussion this afternoon Sen ator Vest took Senator Bfice to task for an interview which appeared in a New York paper "In which he quoted certain state ments made by Kepuoncans concerning tne Finance committee. Senator Brice replied that it made little difference as to who made the statements; the essential fact to te known was whether or not they were true. Senator Brice denied that he was making a fight for wool, but Baid he wanted to Fee a bill constructed upon which all Demo crats could agree. Short speeches were made by Senators Lindsay, Blackburn, Ransom, Jones and others, all indicating a desire to have the disputed points settled before the bill was made public. It was understood, and this idea was brought out in debate, that if this could be accomplished, the Democrats would do very little talking when the bill came before the Senate. The session of the Senate to-morrow will" be very brief for an early adjournment was taken to permit the holding of the caucus during the afternoon. It is probable that after the whole bill has been discussed an effort will be made to bind the Senators to the action had. To-day's caucus was the result of a talk Senator Brice had with President Cleveland one day last week. The Senator told the President that the Democrats were all at sea and gave him an idea, from his point of view, of how the majority of the Finance committee was proceeding in making its bill, about which no other Democratic Sen ator knew anything, benator lince toia the President this course was irritating a number of Democrats and the result would be trouble in - the Senate, when the bill came in, with a prospect of its recommittal. The President then sug gested that the Democratic Senators should confer and have an understanding before a report was made by the Finance committee At Senator Brice's instance the gathering was held m benator isutler s committee room last Thursday when the initiative steis were taken that led to to-day's caucus. It is thought that'it wiii'be" impossible to go over the whole bill before Wednesday afternoon. Will be Sent to Sing Sing. PBooTfT.vw. N. Y., Feb. 26. John Y.

A volume of nearly 800 printed pages, exclusive of maps, was laid before the Senate to-day, represent ing the testimony taken by the Senate Com mittee on Foreign Relations and their find ings of fact thereon, under a resolution di recting them to inquire whether any, and if so, what irregularties haye occurred in the diplomatic, intercourse between the United States and Hawaii in relation to the recent revolution. j The report of the majority of the com mittee was prepared by the chairman, Sena tor Morgan. It exhaustivelv reviews the facts, the law and the precedents, i justifies Mr. Stevens' action, except in proclaiming a protectorate, and finds nothing irregular in the appointment of Mr. Blount.L but, in effect, says the evidence taken by the coni miitee, ui.d ;r aiore favorable circumstances, leads the committee to different conclusions than those which he formed. This report is concurred in as to all its es sential findings by the Republican members of the committee. They characterize it as an exceedingly able document, but they dis sent on live points. They condemn the appointment of Com missioner Blount as unconstitutional. They say the Executive orders placing the navy at Honolulu under the orders of Mr. Blount or Mr. Willis were without author ify of law. I i That the order of Mr. Blount to Admiral Skerrett to lower the flay was unlawful and susceptible of being construed as unfriendly to-the Provisional Government and they re fiard the intercourse of Mr. Blount and Mr. il lis wiih the deposed Queen as violative of international law and unwarranted. They consider the President had no right to re-open the predetermined question as to the legality of the Provisional Government. - They regard any discussion of the per sonal intentions or good faith of either Mr. Blount or Mr. Willis as immaterial, inas much as what they did in regard to the re instatement of the Queen was simply the performance of a task plainly commanded of them by this administration. w The report of the minority, signed by Senators Butler, Turpie, Daniel and Gray, Without denying or conceding the correct ness of other portions of the report, dissents from that portion of it which declares that the only substantial irregularity in the con duct of Mr. Stevens, the late minister, was his declaration of a protectorate by the United States over Hawaii. They add: "We cannot avoid the convic tion that the inopportune zeal of Minister Stevens in the project of annexation of the Sandwich Islands . to the United States caused him to exceed the proper limits of his official duty and his diplomatic relations to the Government of those islands. His conduct as the public representative of this Government was directly conductive to bringing about the condition of affairs which resulted m the overthrow of the Queen, the organization of the Provisional Government, the landing of : the United States troops, and the attempted scheme of annexation, and upon this conclusion his conduct is seriously reprehensible and de serving of public censure." , Senators Butler and Turpie file a supple mental report in which they say that while the question of annexation was not sub mitted to the committee, except incidentally, they think it not improper to say they are heartily in favor of the acquisition of those islands by the United States ia a proper manner, but not by taking advantage of in ternal dissensions for which they believe the United States is in some manner responsi ble.: - COMMERCIAL NEWS. Stocks and Bonds in New York The Grain and Provision Markets of Chicago. j Njjw York, Feb. 26. Speculations with the exchange continues quiet. Sales of stocks were only 151,000 shares, of which 51,000 were American Sugar and 30,000 Whiskey. At the start the market was weak and feverish, owing to heavy selling of American Sugar. Last week this stock was up, on the belief that the company would be allowed a small protection. To-day less confidence was felt in this theory and realizations were in order. Sugar 'declined from 83 to SOI, Lead from 27-i to 25i, pre ferred, from ll to 0f, and National Cord age fro'n 15 to 14i.

On this the railway list moved up t to it per cent. An euori was made to depress the market on talk of de moralization in the trunk lines pool. Eastr bound rates ootn passenger and rreignt. were said to be in such a shape that the presidents of the trunk lines had been compelled to call a general meeting for Wednesday next. The meeting will take place on the day named, but it can be stated that tne Dears are aispiaying more anxiety aboutthe matter than the officials of the roads. The fact that the stocks command a fair premium for use and the inability of professionals to dislodge holdings accounts lor their nervousness. The closing was firm with the railway stocks anywhere from 4 to i per cent, higher for the day.

The Recent Snow Storm The Turner Holden Case Two Sudden Deaths Rex Hospital Stores Dam aged by the Snow Wild Ducks Plentiful The State Exhibit in the Sluseum. .: - ' . Messengeb Bureau, ) - Raleigh, Feb. 26. 1 The snow storm, though expected all day Saturday, did not begin until a few minutes before midnight, though south, north and east of -here it began hours earlier. The snowfall ceased at 4 o'clock yesterday after noon, andthen sleet began to form. The depth of the snow here was from five to six inches, at Monroe it was fourteen inches and west of here sixteen inches. Last night there was a hard freeze. This morning a thaw began. A number of trains were de layed yesterday. A civil term of the Superior court of this county began to-day, Judge Hoke presiding. The well known case of Josiah Turner against the widow of the late Governor W. W. Holden was taken up to day. C. A. Sherwood, executor, brings suit to set aside the judgment which Turner secured in 1879 for $8,060. Mr. Alexander Creech, who for many years was one of the largest dry goods mer chants in this city and State, died at his home here last night, while seated in his chair. He was about 65 years of age. Sirs. Joseph Watson also died suddenly last night, while seated in a chair, at her home, i The trustees of the Rex hospital here have ordered furniture and beds for thirty patients in the white and colored depart ments. The building for the colored de partment is just completed. Miss Maggie McLester, who is a niece of the late Chief Justice Ruffin, has been elected matron of this hospital, which will be opened in about a month. The publication of the "consolidated Methodist church paper at Greensboro will begin about April 1st, one of the editors states. i Thirteen counties now have convicts at work on the public roads. The farmers say that the snow will be beneficial to the small grain crops. Tbe ground has' not been hard frozen during the winter, and but for the snow damage would have been done the grain. Rev. Dr. P. R. Law, agent of the- Ameri can Bible society, spent yesterday here. Last evening he held a Union service of. Methodists and Presbyterians. The Supreme court will to-morrow take up the appeals on the docket of the Fourth district. It is a light docket. - - Governor Carr expresses great satisfaction at the Newbern fair. He considers it one of the best fairs ever held in the State. The lynching of Daniel Slaughter in Al leghany county is the first in this State in nearly eighteen months, slaughter, who was from Carroll county, Va., was at an Alleghany county wedding, made himself obnoxious to the other people there and killed with a knife John Bare and Edward Long, both young men. and also wounded the bride who had tried to prevent him from striking Bare a second blow. Slaugh ter was taken to Sparta, j the county seat, and put in jaiL He narrowly escaped lynching at the time he killed Bare and Long. A mob went to the jail at night, and though one was shot by the plucky jailor, took Slaughter out and lynched him for what was certainly a brutal crime. bnow plows were rigged up on some of the trains which went South yesterday. The snow and sleet yesterday did some damage to several stores here, the water coming through the roofs. At one or two stores some lively work had to be done last mgnt in removing goods trom under the leaks. . During the past few days wild ducks in un usually large numbers have ben seen on the larger streams in this section. The State's exhibit at the Newbern fair will be brought back to-morrow. Rapid work will now be done in the arrangement of the exhibit in the museum. The "pavil ion" which attracted so much attention in the State s agricultural exhibit at the World's fair, is tod large to be placed in the museum, but will be placed ia one of the buildings at the State fair grounds, to be permanently kept there.
