The Vote Given in Detail Informa tion as to Dismissal, Etc., of Clerks in the Departments Wanted The Sundry Civil Appropri ation. Bill Still Before ttxe House of Rep-: resentati vcs. - ' SENATE. Washington, March 15. A resolution was offered by Senator Gallinger and laid over temporarily, calling on the Sec retaries of the Treasury and Interior for the names of all clerks appointed, pro moted, reduced or dismissed in their re spective departments since March 4, 1893, with the State to which each is credited. . J . At 12:30 o'clock the Bland Seigniorage bill was taken up and Senator Carey, Re publican, of Wyoming,, continued his speech, begun yesterday against it. He characterized the, bill as the worst blow aimed at silver since the demonetization of silver in lS'i J. The next speech on the subject was made by Senator Dubois, Republican, of Idaho. He said he took no comfort in voting for the bill. It was not the kind of silver legislation ihat suited him. He should like to vote for a free coinage measure. The next speaker was Senator Mitchell. Republican, of Oregon. He Baid that he should vote for the bill, not because he believed it went so far as it ought to go in the interest of silver as a money ntal, but because it was a move on the legi'a tive checker board in the right direction. Like the Senator from Idaho, he would much prefer that it wa3 a free coinage bill, and then he would vote for it with great pleasure. Senator Palmer opposed the bill, and quoted Mr. Hewitt' statement that it pro posed to coin a vacuum. It was, indeed; he said, a vacuum; for it was admitted that if the whole mass of silver pur chased under the act of 1890 were put on the market to-day it would bring many millions less than the amount necessary to discharge the treasury notes issued for its purchase. Senator Pettigrew, Republican, of South Dakota, had just begun an argu ment in favor of the bill when Senator Harris rose and in his most impressive tones said: "Mr. President, the hour of 2 o'clock is recorded by that clock, (pointing to the clock oyer the main doorway), and at that hour the unani mous agreement of the Senate is that the final vote shall be taken on the pas sage of this bill. I ask for that vote. Senator Davis, Republican, ot Minne sota, asked that Senator Pettigrew should be allowed to finish his speech. Senator Harris 1 object. If 1 were to yield to the Senator from South Dakota I would feeljbound to yield to other Sena tors. I yield to nobody. The presiding , officer (Vilas) declared the question to be "Shall the- bill pass?" The vote was taken and the bill was passed yeas, 44; nays, 31; as follows: xeas senators Allen, cate, aerry, Blackburn, Blanchard, Butler, Call, Cockrell, Coke, Colquitt, Daniel, Dubois, Faulkner, George, Gordon, Hansbrough, Harris, Hunton, Irby, Jones of Arkansas, Kyle, Lindsay, McLaurin, Martin, Mills, Mitchell of Oregon, Morgan, Pasco, Peffer, Perkins, Pettigrew, Power.Pugh, Quay, Ransom, Roach, Shoup, Stewart, Teller, Turpie, Vest, Voorhees, White, Wolcott 44.

Piatt. Procter, Smith, Stock- bridge, Vilas, Washburn, Wilson 31. When the result was announceu mere was handclapping in the crowded gal leries, which breach of order was re buked by the presiding officer. Then the spectators began to desert the gal leries, and the senate unamoer rtsumeu its air of quiet languor ana respecta bility. , . , . The Republicans wno voieu ior me urn were Senators Dubois, Hansbrough, Mitchell of Oregon, Pettigrew, Power, Quay, Shoup, Stewart, Teller and Wol- cott. I .... The Democrats who voted against it were senators Dnue, vaiicij, uuimou, McPherson, Mitchell of Wisconsin, Mur phy, Palmer, Smith and Vilas. The three Populist Senators (Allen, Kyle and Peffer) voted for it. Mr. Enloe moved then to amend by re ducing the appropriation for the survey of the Atlantic coast by instructing the Dockery committee to investigate the work of the survey, and if it found it could be done more efficiently and economically in the Navy and Interior Departments, it may report by bill or i otherwise. . . A point of order against this was over ruled, and Mr. Enloe addressed the com mittee in favor of the amendment, going into the subject generally. His argu ment for the abolition of the survey was that the work for which it was originally instituted in 1807 had been practically completed, and the geodetic survey could I be better and more cheaply done by the JNavy and interior Departments. At 4:35 o'clock the committee rose and the House adjourned until 12 o'clock to morrow. - P0LLARD-BREGKINR1DGE THIS CASE STILL THE SENSA TION OF THE DAT.

State Troops Called Oat The City Hall Surrounded by Extra Police The Governor's Life in Danger -. Federal Troops on the Scene. Denver, March 15. The political fight waged by Governor Waite culminated to-day in most exciting scenes, and mob violence was imminent many times during tae day. Fortunately, the common citizen was calm and collected, and the prompt action of leading citizens, in leaving their business and appearing in solid bodies to beg for time to consider the situation carefully, caused a delay that probably prevented bloodshed', rioting and the assassination of Governor Waite. In all probability had a shot been fixed a mob would have formed that would have captured the Governor before official assistance could have rescued him. At 6 o'clock the intelligence that the Governor had called upon Gen. McCook to preserve the peace settled all fears of a contest between the militia and the po lice backed by as fearless a lot of depu ties sworn in by the sheriff as could be possibly gathered together. "Soapy" Smith's crowd of sports had been sworn in as-deputies and they were placed at the hall to await orders. From o'clock until long after dark a dense mass of humanity was packed in front of the city hall and upon the stre ts adjacent. They cheered and chaffed and joked, yet did not hesitate to express indignation at the situation. On Fourteenth street, the First regi ment of the Colorado Guards stood flank ing the Chaffee light artillery, consisting of four Gatling guns, with caissons filled with ammunition. Their position com manded the entire front of the hall and at one time the militia was under motion to attack the hall, when the arrival of Secretary Lorens with a message from the Governor stayed the attack. This was for a half hour's delay to permit an other conference looking towards a peaceful settlement. From that time on, until the United States troops were called out, the most intense anxietv prevailed. All sorts of rumors floated about, lhe shemr issuea an order to arrest the militia and take their arms away. A friend of the de nosed members of the fire and police board went out oithe city hall to apply for a warrant to arrest the Governor. The Governor declared he would order the militia to firo upon the city hall re gardless of the crowds of spectators, and the police board within as solidly main- tamed their position to resist attack The police stood with guns in hand ready to charee if necessary, and Chief of Police Stone said he would die before he would surrender. Soon after 6 o'clork this evening Chief of Police Stone received a telephone message from Gen. McCook stating that he had ordered troops from Fort Logan to protect the chief and aid him in pre- servine order. At 10 o'clock two wagon loads of breech loading shot guns and ammuni tion were unloaded at police headquar ters in the city hall. The department was now equipped with a shot gun and two 45-colts revolvers for each man. A ouantitv of d'vnamite cartridges was also stored in tbe nolice vaults in readi ness for an emergency. "We will hold the city hall against all attacks from the outside, if it takes dynamite to do it," was the exnression of Chief of Police Stone. "We have 110 men on duty and thev will be here as long as they are needed. - If the Governor wants ' blood to the bridles' we will give it to him, but he cannot have the city hall. By noon the crowd about the armory was nearly or quite as great as that at the citv hall, and when the militiamen began to arrive they found it difficult to make their wav to headquarters. The militia started from the armory promptly at 12 o'clock. Adit. Gen. Tarsney was in command, assisted by Brig. Gen, Brooks. ' At 3:15 Bng. Gen. Brooks, accom panied by four aides de camp, rode up to the citv hall and stated that the Gover nor's orders must be obeyed. Governor Waite remained in his private rooms at the Douglass all day, and admitted no one but his closest menus uiim a uumuuiicc of citizens from the Chamber of -Com-merce called upon him late in the day. The result was a failure to get him to consent to anything. "I shall order the militia to fire," he reiterated. "The peo ple may assassinate me if they will, but I propose to have my way." This was the situation when Gen. Mc Cook asserted his position and prepared to preserve the peace. ' . To understand the situation it rpust be known that some years ago the citizens of Denver asked the Legislature to given them a new charter that would take the police, fire and public works depart mrnts out of the hands of the muni cipalty and put them in the hands of boards appointed by the IJovernor. It was believed that this would result in removing the matter from the corrup tion of politics. Governor Waite has shown a desire to make these depart ments subserve his political ambitions and has tried to make all of them political hoards filled with Jfopuust iouowers. ThA hoard of fire and police has heen oVi-iTio-Ad reoeatedly to suit his whims.

Washington, March 15. Mis3 Pol lard entered the Circuit court room this morning just as the crier rapped for or der and began his "Oyez." She was ac companied by Miss Ellis, the lady from the Episcopal House of Mercy. All the attorneys in the case were present when Miss Pollard entered. Col. Breckinridge had come in a minute before and took his usual seat behind the plaintiff. As usual the court room was well filled. Sarah Guest, a colored woman from Lexington, Ky., dressed in deep mourn ing, was the nrst witness. Her exan v. nation was conducted by Mr. E. Farrell, who was the attorney for Miss Pollard in Lexington. She was questioned min utely concerning her life and antece dents; how long she had lived in Lexing ton and other questions of a personal character. She knew Col. Breckinridge she said, ever since she was a little girl. She had lived in Lexington for twenty seven years. The witness identified Col. Breckinridge and Miss Pollard. The substance of her testimony was to the effect that she kept a disreputable house; that Col. Breckinridge brought Miss Pollard to her house the first time about ten years ago to remain from Friday until Monday; that she (the witness) objected to so long a stay; Col. Breckinridge overruled her objec tion and visited the girl frequently then and at other times, extending over a period of several years. She had ' hearff Col. Breckinridge tell Miss Madeline that she must get breakfast early and "go down there" to meet Mr. Rhodes on Mon day morning. " Mr. r arrell asked if there was any thing about Miss Pollard's appearance that indicated her age, and after an ob jection to this by Mr. Shelby had been overruled, the witness answered that her dress came to her shoe tops. She looked like a school girl between 17 and 18 years old. "Some times she wore her hair in a plait and some times on top of her head. liea by Mr. larreu, the witness saia Col. Breckinridge and Mis3 Pollard came back to her house a year later. .Col. Breckinridge had come to the witness a year ago last summer and asked her to take Miss Pollard, out she had refused. Col. Breckinridge had come to her again last fall after the suit was hied, and asked her not to-testify against him, and also to keep Mary bcott and Mary Wil t 1 t a i- j t i j Mrs. Ketcham, who testified that Miss Pollard told her that Bhe had agreed to marry James C. Rhodes on condition that he paid for her education. Miss Pollard was absent from Lexington from July 6 to September 2, 1886, saying she had gone with her aunt. "Did you know CoL A. M. Swope?' was asked the deponent. "Yes." "Did he call on Miss Pollard?" "To my knowledge he never called on Miss Pollard while she was at my house." Miss Pollard, said the deponent, occu pied a downstairs room leading to the street, but Mrs. Hoyt did not think that Miss Pollard could have received any visitors there without her knowledge. Like her Bister, Mrs. Hoyt had never noticed anything about Miss Pollard that was not proper. Miss Pollard had left the Sayre Institute, because oL humilia tion over the action of Mr. Rhodesia telling the principal that he was paying for Miss Pollard's tuition on condition that she would marry him. The deposition of Maj. H. B. McClel lan, principal of the Sayre Female. Insti tute, where Miss Pollard was a pHpiL was next read. The major produced the school records, which showed that Miss Pollard was absent a great deal during her first year at the school some times for a week at a time. The denonent .'did not know of any acquaintanceship between Col. Breckinridge and Miss Pol-, lard and he had never seen anjthiag about her to excite suspecion.

"Yes, sir, he asked me if Miss Pollard had ever come to my house with CoL Swope. I told him she had never been there with CoL Swope." Col. Swope was killed by Col. Cassius Goodloe in Lexington some years ago, and a story was circulated a few months since con necting his name with that of Miss Pol lard. This story was indignantly denied by Col.

Mrs. Lucretia Marie Minear, who leases No. 25 and keeps boarders there was the next witness and she gave tes timony concerning Miss Pollard's resi dence with her, but there was nothing in the testimony that was of particular sig nificance. A lady who gave her name as Mrs. Kate W. Burt, a clerk in the general land office, was the next witness. "Do you know Miss Maaenner-ouarar asked Judge Wilson. "I have heard of her," said the witness. "But do you know her ?" "Is Miss Pollard here?" asked Mrs. Burt. Miss Pollard had not returned, so Mr. Carlisle went for her, and while he was gone Mrs. Burt said she had boarded in a house at the corner of Thirteenth and u streets in mis city, a."u there had seen a young woman whom she believed to be Miss Pollard, but she was not certain on that point. When Miss Pollard returned to the courtroom, Mrs. Burt recognizee ner. Miss Pollard had lived at the Thirteenth street house about 1887 for about ten dayB. She was there under the name of - -. r J- j ' Mrs. Foster. Mrs. curt nau seen Breckinridge at the house once, but merely at the door.

Col. Breckin ridge had gone up stairs to "Mrs. ros ter's" room, but she did not know how long he remained there. ThA rmfininflr of a deposition which Mr. Carlisle began to read was the signal for an exodus from the court room. The deposition was that of Mrs. M. A, Ketcham, of Lexington, Ky., who knew Miss Pollard during 1884-'85-'86, when she boarded at Mrs. Ketcham's house while attending Sayre Institute in that town. James C. Rhodes called regularly every three weeks at Mrs. Ketcham's house to see Miss Pollard, and her mother came once or twice while she was there.

Robblns on the Gettysburg Com mission. Washington, March 15. The Secre tary of the Nayy to-day cabled orders to Admiral Benham, at Rio, directing him to proceed at once with one ship to Blue fields. No particular ship is mentioned but it is likely the San Francisco will execute the order. The State Depart ment has had no advices from Nicaragua or Mosquito since Monday, when a dis patch from Minister Baker brought the information that the British and Nica raguan forces had both been withdrawn from the Mosquito reservation. It is well known, however, at the Department, that affairs aie unsettled, and the pres ence of an American ship is needed as a salutary measure, if nothing else. Maj. William M. Robbins, of Statesville, N. C, has been appointed a member of the Gettysburg Battle Field Commission, to succeed the late William H. Fornev. Maj. Robbins was formerly professor of mathematics and engineering in the Al bania University; was engaged in the battle of Gettysburg with his regiment, the Fourth Alabama, and has served sev eral terms in Congress since the war. The rumor that Mrs. Cleveland and her children are to leave the White House for any winter resort is declared to be without foundation. Mrs. Cleveland has had no idea of leaving Washington at tne most enjoyable season of the year. Although the President will very likely take another excursion by boat shortly, his family will not go away until June, when they will take up their residence for the summer at the Buzzard's Bay cottage, The expenditures of the Government for the eight months and a half of the present fiscal year have exceeded the re ceipts by $52,000,000. the figure being: Receipts, $311,400,000 ; expenditures, $263,400,000. This ratio, if carried out to the end of the fiscal year, will make the net deficit of about $74,000,000. The present discussion of the Tariff bill in full committee, although not pro ducing many changes in the schedules, is bringing to light some extraordinary defects in the bill. One of these was dis covered yesterday, which, had it not been found out in time, would have re duced the revenue-yielding power of the bill by upwards of $10,000,000. The last page of the bill as made public by the Senate is a long distance from the first, but the legislation found in the last few paragraphs controls the whole bilL One of these paragraphs. Sec. 102, provides: "That an act to reduce the revenue and equalize duties on imports, and for other purposes, approved October 1st, 1890, and all acts and parts of acts not incon sistent with this act are hereby re pealed." This was' an absolute repeal of the McKinley law,and Senator Vest, in com mittee yesterday, moved that it be stricken out, for very obvious reasons. The internal revenue tax on tobacco, manufactured tobacco, all the-regulations as to license taxes and the sale of leaf tobacco, are contained in the Mc Kinley law, and nothing is said about them in the Wilson bill. The intention was of course to permit the present law to stand in those respects. Had not the sweeping character of the repealing clause been detected in time these provi sions of the McKinley act would have been ' wiped out, and the Government would have found itself powerless to col lect a dollar of internal revenue tax on manufactured tobacco, except in the shape of cigars and cigarettes. The free leaf provisions would also have been eliminated from the present law. The Senate has confirmed the follow ing nominations: Capt. E. O. Matthews to be chief of the bureau of yards and docks, Navy Department; L. H. Shields, collector of customs for the District of Norfolk and Portsmouth, Va.; F. M. Gardenhire, surveyor of customs for the port of Chattanooga, Tenn. ; postmasters, W. W. Degge, Norfolk, Va.; Abel A. Candy, Darlington, S. C; G. W. Dug ger, Greensboro; J. R. Crowe, Sheffield, Ala.;S. B. Price, Macon, Ga. Walter L. Wilson of West Virginia. Lewis Green Stevenson of Illinois, Henry A. Dent of Alabama, Philip V. Mohun of District of Columbia, Wm. J.

The wagon factory here made its an nual report to-day. It made a good showing,having earned 9 per cent, during the twelve months. There are eight applicants for the po sition of superintendent of the Oxford Orphan asylum. Yesterday an attempt was made to se cure admittance to the insane asylum here of an insane Turk now in jail at Wilmington. Admission was declined, on the ground that the man was not a naturalized citizen. The matter will be referred to the Turkish Minister at Wash ington. The base ball team of the Agricultural and Mechanical college will play a game with the Wake Forest team on the latter's grounds on the 28th instant. The season for bird shooting in this State ended to-day. The close .season ends October 30th.

' Special to the Messenger. Raleigh, N. C, March 15. At a meeting of the North Carolina Monu ment association held here this af ter noon Col. Muldoon, of Louisville, who has the contract for building the monu ment, and State Geologist Holmes were present, the latter as an expert on gran ite. The association decided to use gran ite from the quarries at Mt. Airy. The height of the monument was ordered to be increased ten feet, making it seventy-two feet and $2,500 was added to the cost, making the total $25,000. May 20th was chosen as the date of laying the corner stone, that being the date of North Carolina's secession. A committee of arrangements for the cere mony was appointed. A suit of Confederate uniform, slouch hat and belt has been secured by Col. Muldoon to be sent to Munich, Bavaria, where the statues will be cast, which are to stand at the base of the monument. The casting will be done at the National foundry there and the order for the two statues which are to stand at the base of the monument and also the bronze seals which are to ornament the dies of the monument has already been placed. .. The work of quarrying the stone will begin at once and next month the work of preparing the monument foundation here begins. The contractor is to put up four bronze cluster lamps of three each at the monument. "Special Notices. York: A Fayettevillian in the New Custom House.

The spinners quit work, and this may close the mill, throwing 100 operatives out of work. Sun's Cotton Review. New York, March 15. The Sun's cot ton review says: Cotton advanced 8 to 11 points and closed firm. Sales were 93,200 bales. Liverpool advanced 1 to 2 points, closed quiet and steady; spot sales were 12,000 bales, at firmer but unchanged prices. In Manchester yarns were steady, cloths in moderate demand. Bombay receipts for the week were 66,000 bales, against 69,006 for the same week last year. New Orleans advanced 8 to 10 points. Spot cotton here was quiet and unchanged. Sales were 241 bales for spinning. Southern markets were quiet, and in most cases unaltered. Port receipts were estimated at 9,000 bales and reached 7,780, against 7.738 this dav last week and 6,796 last year; thus far this week 56,697, against 53,572 thus far last week. Exports to day were 4,589 bales to Great Britain and 12,382 to the Continent. A ray of bullish hope lighted up the market to-day. Liverpool kept up its spot sales of 12,000 bales and marked up future quotations. The receipts at most of the interior towns were light and the port receipts were -not quite as large as had been expected. The foreign news was the principal factor, however. It took the bears by surprise and many of them covered. The buying to-day was principally for short account. Men are loath to take the long side until there is a radical change for the better as re gards the crop movement. As it now stands, the ports, it is estimated, will get anywhere from 70,000 to 75,000 bales, against oy,03o last wees: ana a, it a mis week last year, while the interior re ceipts are expected to reach 12,000 bales, against 12,465 last week, and 13,673 last year. New Orleans was a buyer to a moderate extent. Some professed to re gard the passage of the Bland bill by the Senate to-day as In some sense a bullish feature, as it would mean inflation of the currency possibly to the extent of $110, 000,000 and a chance for higher prices. Others, in the majority, think it anything but a good feature, and hoped that it will be vetoed.
