Washington. Dec. 27 The Democrats of
tbe Senate hVld a conference this morning
to consider the report of the steering co-n-mittee
charged with the duty of making the
minority assignments to tbe Senate- com
mittees. So far as completed, the work of
the committee was endorsed, but a number
of vacancies still remain to be filled, and the
committee was directed to arrange these and
hand the list to the Republican committee
witnout any further party caucus.
The vote in the Senate on reorganization
will not be taS en until Monday. The Dem
ocrats wili ask for a vote for the purpose of
showing the country; that the Republicans
have the most votes in the senate and the
power to assume contiol.
Senator Mitchell, of Oregon, will offer a
resolution assigning tbe men named to the
committees designated, and the Republicans
will vote for them and the Democrats
agninst. It makes no difference whether
tiie I'opulists vote for or remain silent; the
Republicans will still have a majority of the
quorum, and their resolution will prevail
It is understood that ibe reorganization is
not to take effect until January 1st.
The opposition to.the Bond bill, which
developed with unexpected rspidity among
tiie Republicans in tbe House yesterday, an.
opposition which it was claimed threatened5
to defeat the passage of the bill, resulted in
its amendment: by the Ways and Means
committee this morning, eo as to prevent
the retirement of the legal tender notes.
The implied retirement of the notes in tbe
bill as originally agreed upon furnished the
inspiration for much of trie hostility to the
measure among certain of the Republicans
wno belong to what is called ' the sound
money winuof the party." The action of
the romiuittee to-day nullifies this hostility,
and. in the language of Mr Hopsins of II
linois, through, whose efforts" the bill was
amended, "insures its passage through the
Hone:"
When the Ways and Means Committee
met tbis morning the amendment prepared
by Mr Uopkius was inserted in the bill as a
part of section 1, and the chairman was
directed to report the measure to the House
in that form.
Section 1. as amended, after' giving au
thority to the Secretary of the Treasury to
sell coin bonds bearing interest at 3 per
cent., redeemable after rive years, reads as
follows: .
"Audthe Secretary of the Treasurv shall
use ttie proceeds thereof for the redemotion
of United States legal tender notes aud for
no other purpose; provided, that notning in
tnis act sball be construed to repeal or mod
ify the act approved May 1. 1S7S, entitled
An Act to Forbid Further Retirement. of
United States Legal Tender Notes.' ''
Tnen follows the remainder or tne SfC-
tion with reference to advertising the bonds
for sale. " ' : '
Another amendment inserted by the com
mittee iu section 1 tu-day provides that The
bonds shall be payable iu fifteen years after
their issue.
Hecretarv Herbert announced from the
Cab net meeting to day tuat the twin sister
of the battleship Js.earsarge had been named

All tbe members were present at to oay s
Cabinet meetinu, wbich. was a protracted
one. Secretary Mney was at the white
house early in the morning and Secretary
Carlis'e was in conference with the I'resirj

that aside from rouiine matters,
finauce was tbe main topic of consideration
to-day. The Cabinet approved sVeretary
Herbert's sugebtion to name the battleship

The Republican Senators held a caucus of
not more than ten or twelve minutes dura
tion after the adj lurnment of the Senate!
this afternoon. It was decided that Repub
lican Senators should be urged to be present

zation of all the committees Will betaken, so

The progress of the Tariff bill will not be
impeded iu the Senate i It was referred" to
the Commiit-e onFinance to day and subse
quently several democratic members of
tuat Committee were in conference w.ith
Senator Gorman and otbfer leaders in dis
cussing th8 Democratic policy in dealing
with tne measure It was- tacitly under
stood among these Senators that tner
should be no unreasonable time consumed
either in committee or on the fljor of th,e
Senate. It is believed that the debate in -the.
Sennte will be of much shorter duration
than has been anticipated, and that tne:
Democrats, after they have stated their
position, will permit it to come to a vote
The prediction is made, however, by lead
ing democrats that the bi l as it came from
the Ilouse cannot pass tbe Senate.
Senator Voorhees has issued a call for a
meeting of the Finance committee next
Thur-day. the regular .meeting -day.
Although the committee wll be reorgan?
Szed before the bill is reported Senator
Voorhees deemed " it proper, as he is still
chairman, to call the meeting at once and
let the committee deal with the subj-ct.
He believes the bill will be com-ilered
promptly in the committee and reported to
the Senate as. expeditiously asposstble. No
member of ihe Finance committee is will
ing to preuict whether or not the bill will
be amen led in tbe tien-ite committee .

Secretary Carlisle spent mcst of the day
in consultation with the .President and was
at tbe treasury only a lew minutes. The
impression is general that the President,
living up to the' language of his .message to
Congress on its opening, will within a short
time sell flWwO.OOi'i of bonds unless there
is evidence that some relief measure wili
pass Congress speedily. The-bewt opi- ion is
that the chances for the Senate and House
to concur quickly in any measure that will
meet the approval of the l'resident are
slight. J- :

Raliigh, N. 0., Dec. 27 At to-day's ses
sion of the city school superintendents there
was a discusnon on local taxa ion, led by
Professor A lderman and participated in by
nearly all present. A committee was ap
pointed, composed of J. C. Scarborough, C.
D. Mclver, D. H. Hill and three superinten
dents, on the question of local taxation in
aid of public schools and to devise ways
and means to arouse public sentiment on
that question.
President Winston, of the university, read
a paper on "The Relat on of Popular Elu;
cation to Material PrOsperty of a State."
Other papers were as follows: By Superin
tendent Thompson of Statesville, on ''Teach
ing of Civics in Lower Grades in Public

town to introduce in a substantial way
manual training in its course of stndy,
Charlotte being the first.
A Herbartean. club was organized as a
branch to the National one, its purpose
being the investigation of all educational
questions. It is named after Eerbart, the
German philosopher. The association was
invited by President Bennehan Cameron, ot

dale of Greensboro, being present. Several
places were suggested as proper places of
meeting next yer, among these being Ral
eigh, Chapel Hill, Greensboro, Durham,
Charlotte and Wrighlsviile. It is said tp be
certain that the meeting will not be held at
Morehead City, and will not be for ten days,
but probably for four, and that it will bean
educational convention rather than the
former style of assemblage, and will discuss
liye problems of general interest to teachers
and to citizsns who favor education.
It was decided not to select the place to
night, but after inspection of various places
to make a choice. The financial affairs are
receiving attention. The assembly owes
about 1,200 on its property at Morehead

TwENTY-THBErL- DEATHS.
The Resnlt of a Cry of Fire in a Thea

Men, Women and Children
Trampled to Dea'b.
Baltimore, Md , Dec. 27. Twenty-three
bodies lie calm in death at the morgue to
night, and twenty persons are in the acci
dent wards of the city hospital, the result of
a panic at Front street theater. The United
Orient tl Opera Dramatic company, of New
York, was presenting an opera in the He
brew language to an audience of fully 3,003
persons.
Shortly after the programme begun some
one shouted 'rFire!" and 'he immense gath
ering with one accord bgan a wild scramble
for the exits. Men and wsnmen ana bovs
and girls fought for a vantage ground, and a
scene of the wildest confu-ion prevailed.
The street doors were closed and . being
huns to open inward, the struggling mass
of huiUsmity was brought to a standstill
Those in the rear cimbed over the heads of
the ones in front and trampled the weaker
ones beneath their feet. For several min
utes the wild fight for libeity continued.
" Wtien the policemen arrived on the scene
they found a mass of struggling humanity
five feet deep, in the small foyer of the
playhouse One of the doors was forced
opened and the work of pulling out the dead
and iniured was commenced. Ah alarm of
fire was turned in. followed immediately
afterwards by an abulmce call Patrol wa
gons were also pres-ed into service and were
soon hurrying; to the city hospital with one
or two of the unfortunates.
A strong odor of gas was noticed in the
second eallerv of the theatre, and one of
the attaches of the place was seen hunting
for the leak witn alighted torcn. suddenly
a jet of flame Mashed out as the torch came
in contact with the punctured gas pipe.
Cries of "fire" were beard in tbe upper
galleries, and in an instant- the excitement
became intense Some one rushed to the
gas meter and turned off the supply, plung
insr the main body of the house into dark
ness The stage jets alone remained lighted,
being lea tnrougn anoiner meter.
Instead of allaying the excitement caused
by the sheet of name from tbe leaking pipe.
tbe turning off of the gas and consequent
darkness only served to add to thecoma
sinn. The- audience arose eu masse aud
made a mad rush for the exits The actors
ran' down to the footlights and shouted: "Mt
down there's no danger" but theexcited
throng paid no attention to tbe advire but
continued their wilcfscramble for the dooTS
The eas was auicklv turned on at the
meter and as the theatre again- became
illuminated an indescribable scene of horror
was presented. Men, women and children
crazed by fear, were fighting and struggling
in the aisles and on the stairways in their
efforts to reach the open air. The actors on
thestxgeand a few coolheads in the audi
ence added tothe turmoil by shouting their
commands to sit down and cursing tnose
who were most vigorous in their efforts to
get out.
Strong men in the rear of the panic
stricken mob climbed upon the shoulders of
those in front, crushing tne weaker men.
women and little children to the floor to be
trampied tadeath by those still further in
the rear. For several minutes the wild
fieht continued. Then a few policemen
forced a' passageway to the main entrance
and began dragging forth those who were
jammed in the doors A rushing stream of
numanity Miwed ont on Front street until
all those who were able io tnoya feechpd
12 open air.
The exciteiT?nt in the .street was almost
as great as in the theater, as relatives oegan
sRar.h;ncr for those from whom they hd
'hcfnm Renarated durine the mad rush.
Fathers and mo'her3 rushed ai,ouj; looking
for their children, and attempted to re-entt f
the theater in their search for missing
cues. The crowd grew so great that the po
lice, fearing a riot, ordered the hre engine
hose to be turned on ana in hat x?ay the
Rtrnpflin? mass was driven back f r'ohl the
theater entrance. Meanwhile officers bad
enured the theatre fnd encountered

ambulances and patrol wagons and stormed
the entrances to the hospital and morgue in
their anxiety to karn if their relatives or

Twenty three bodies were finally taken
from the theatre. Ten perfoos, more or less
injured are at the city hospital, two of them

SENATE.
Washington, Dec, 27 The financial qnes
ti on came to the front in the Senate to day
in the form of a joint resolution introduced
by Senator Hill, to the effect that all bonds
to be hereafter issued shall be made payable
in gold coin or in standard Bilver dollars at
the option of the holders; and that no bond
containing such option shall bear a higher
rate of interest than3 per cent. He made
a long, carefully prepared speech on the
subject, winding up with the declaration
that his proposition was a measure simply
for temporary relief; but that as a measure
of permanent relief it was reasonably clear
that all United States notes and treasury
notes should be redeemed and then can
celed. "
Senator Teller was brought up to a state
of indignation by Senator Hill's proposition
and speech, and in his invective against the
President, tbe Secretary and treasury
subordinates, made a contemptuous allusion
to tne "lide waiter who now assumes to
speak on the financial matter." Everybody
understood that it was the -New lork Sena
tor wbo was thus ignominously referred to;
but when senator mil subsequently took up
the offensive epithet he was assured
in the most positive manner by Senator
Teller that he had had no reference what
ever to the Senator from New York, but had
only meant to apply the epithet to such
treasury subordinates as the director of the
mint and the assistant treasurer at New
York, benator Hill apparently accepted
the disavowal, but avenged him-eif in some
deeree by the intimation that the director
of the mint was as competent to speak on
tbe financial question as gentlemen who
hailed fom the wilds of Colorado.
The joint resolution remains on the Vice
President's table, to be taken up for further
discussion, in connection with a substitute
offered by the new Populist Senator from
JNortn uarouna, senator isutler, to make
the interest and principal of all coin bear
ing bonds payable in the cheaper of the two
metals.
A joint resolution for the acceptance of
the ram Katabdin was reported from the
Committee on Naval Affairs and adopted.
The House bill of yes:erday "To tempo
rarily increase the revenue to meet the ex
penses ot tne Government ana provide
against deficiency," was received from the
House, read a first and second time and re
ferred to the Fina'nce committee.
The House bill to make Palm Beach. Fla.,
a sub-port of entry and delivery was re
ported from the Committee on tJommerce
and was, at the request of Senator Call, con
sidered and passed
Pending the debate on Senator Hill's joint
resolution. Senator Butler offered as a sub
stitute for that resolution his own proposi
tion for the payment of treasury notes and
greenbacks in either gold coin or silver coin
(preferentially in the cheaper coin) He
also introduced a constitutional amendment
in fayor of an income tax Both proposi
tions were laid on tbe table for the pre tent.
Senator Quay offered a resolution calling
on the Secretary of the Navy for a report as
to whether it is not desirable at tbis time
to contract for six battleships instead of
two and asked for its adoption. . .
"Let it lie over," Senator Gorman inter
posed; snd it went over.

HOl'SE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
In accordance with the decision of theCom
mittee on Ways and Means reached last
Slondav, Chairman Dineley to day reported
to the House the bill to provide for the res
toration ana protection ot the gold reserve
by the sale of 3 per cent, bonds and to au
thorize ihe isue of certificates of indebted-"
cess to meet deficiencies in revenue. But
under the protests of a large number of .Re
publican members, the bill was amended
by the committee at a meeting held, this
morning, and the programme, rallingfor a
vote on the passage of the bill at 5 o'clock
to day was cha ged so as to give six hours
additional debate, three to-night and three
to-morrow, tbe vote to be, taken at 3 o'clock
Saturdny afternoon. 'Ihe resolution from
the Committee on Rules to this effect was
adopted by a vote of '195 to 101, after it had
been antagonized by M-ssrs. Crip, Bailey
and Mcllillin. tbe .Republicans refraining
from discussinu it.
- The deflate on the Bond bill was opened
by Mr. Dingley, wno advocated its passage
in a speech of nearly an hour's duration.
The bill was opposed by Mr Turner, Dem
ocrat, of Georgia, who 'said the administra
tion wanted all O-e paper mouey retired,
and if he bad bad an opportunity to do so,
would have offered to so amend the bill; by
Mr Patterson,. Democrat, of Tennessee, who
said the duty of Congress was to restore
confidence in the currency of the country;
and by Mes-ra. Swanson, Democrat, of Vir
ginia, and Wheeler, Democrat, of Alabama.
The sensation of the day came at a late
hour in the af'ernoon when Mr Johnson,
Republican, of California, voiced in impas
sioned manner the opposition to the measure
in the ranks of the majority. He said it gave
the lie to every Kepubltcan speech and
every Republican platform and he pleaded
with his political associates to vote against
it He was cheered by the Democrats aud
many Republicans as he predicted the
defea'Jof the first section of the bill and de
clared that the only true relief to be found
was in the free and unlimited coinage of
silver.
Before the debate was entered upon, by
tbe unanimous report of the Committee on
Elections No. 1. which commanded Mr. Mc-
Gann for his fairness and justice in waiv
ing his claim to the seat, Mr. Hugh Belknap
was declared to be entitled to the seat from
the Third 1 Uinois district, for which Mr.
Lawrence E. McGann held the certificate.
Mr. Belknap was sworn in by the Speaker.
At 5 o'clock the House rose ami took a re
cess until 7 o'clock.
There wereinot more than a dosen Repub
licahs in their seats when Speaker lUed
called tbe House to order at 7 o'clock
The first speech of the evc-ing in fayor of
the bill was made by Mr. Wellington, Re
publican, of Maryland He supported the
revenne measure of yesterday and tbe pend
ing bill, because he believed that the first
duty Congress owed the people was the pro
tection of the credit of the nation, and this
these bills provided.
Mr. Wilson. Republican, of Idaho, ex
plaining his opposition to the bill, said the
gentleman from Maryland (Wellington)
had given him an excellent reason, which
was that President Cleveland was the father
oi tne measure.
Mr. Bowers, Republican, of California,
said the pending bill was either a flat propo
sition to destroy the greenbacks or it did not
mean anything. Wno had asked for it.'
i he President and th embankers and brokers
of New York. The people oi tne tmited
States be said, were opposed to the destruc
tion of, the ereen backs. ,
Mr. Gibson, Republican, cf Tennessee,
said the pending measure was proposed in
response to the appeal of the President,
who. whilp be was a Democrat, was th
President bf the United states of America.
The question was' net a political or a finan
cial one, but an American one, sta me x.e
publican party would support the President
On that ground. Borne oi the Republicans,
he Siid, forgot that tney were Americans,
Tbe debate was continued by Mr. North
way, Republican, of Ohio, in support of the
Mif- Air Tarsney, Democrat, of Missouri, in
opposition; Mr. n. ?-lican- ol
Iowa, in upport and Mr Shofroth, Repub
lican of Colorado, against it.
At 10 o'clock the House adjourned nntil.

Dnnraven Before the Committee.
Statement of His Case by Counsel,
His liordship on tbe stand. '
Bis Kiktd Cross
Examination. r
New Yoek, Dec: 27 The , investigation
committee appointed " by the" New York
Yacht club commenced their Inquiry into
the charges of foul play made by the Earl of
Dnnraven against 4 the owner -of- the De
fender, in the model room of the New Y'ork
Y'acht club at 10.30 o'clock this morning.
Two members of the committee were the
first to a) pear George L Rives and E..J.
Phelps, ex-Minister to the court of St.
James. They were followed by C. Oliver
Iselin. the managingowner of the Defender,
Woodbury Kane. Latham A Fish 8. Nich
olson Kane, J. Pierpont Morgan, chairman
of tbe investigating committee; Capt A T.
Maban, U S N.; Jos H Choate, who will
look Rafter 'toe interests of ' the Defender
syndicate; E. D, Morgan, W. Butler Dun
can, Herbert C. Leeds, of Boston; A Cass
Canfield, secretary of the America's cup
committee and Capts Hank Half and Terry,
of tbe Defender. The two quartermasters
of the Defender, John Staples and Irving
Barbour, were the only members of her
crew to attend in the morning
Lord Dunraven came at 10 o'clock sharp.
He was accompanied by George Askwitn,
his lawyer; rArtnur Glennie, rear commo
dore of the Royal Portsmouth Yacht clnb,
and his servant who-carried a big bag of
papers.
Hon W C. Whitney, the remaining
member of the investigating committee,
drove up in a carriage immediately after
Lord Dunraven's arrival, a' d as he was the
only one neede to complete the arrange
ments, the session commenced.
The utmost secrecy was used in conducting
the investigation. No newspaper repre
sentatives were permitted to remain on the
ground floor and members of the club were
not permitted to go up stairs. The
model room of the club, in which the
session is being held, is arranged in conrt
fashion. A large table covered with red
cloth is at the head of the room and here
the five members of the investigating com
mittee sat. Tothe right of this table is a
table reserved for witnesses. A long table
for the lawyers and their assistants and
three smaller tables with chairs, and other
seats along the wall, complete tbe ensem
ble. The proceedings opened at 10:15 o'clock
a. m.
J . Pierpont Moagan took the chair and
Mr Askwith commenced his opening ad
dress. The committee placed Lord Dunraven on
the stand at 12:15 o'clock. This was after
his attorney, Mr. Askwith, had spoken for
more than two and a half hours Mr Mor
gan did not remain throughout the first ses
sion of the committee. Shortly after the
committee began the hearing a mess-Dger
called at the club house for Mr. Morgan and
he started down town. At that time it was
aaid be had delegated his powers, as chair
man to ex-Miniater Phelps. While Lard
Dunraven was on tbe stand he underwent
a hot cross-fire from Mr. Choates, who eot
Lord Dunraven very badly mixed up. The
witness forgot all the dates and his memory
became clouded.
The committee at 1:10 o'clock p m., ad
journed for lunch to meet again at 2 o'clock.
After recess Lord Dunraven continued
his testimony. He told in detail the move
ments of the yatchs before and after the
fiiss race. His counsel led hira on from
point to point until he had stated all that be
knew of his own personal knowledge about
the alleged changes in wster line. Lawyer
Otioate objecte i to any heresay evidence be
ing intioduced and the proceedings were
kept within legal lines. When Mr. Ask
with finished with bis client. Mr. Choate
took His Lordship in hand and put him
through a rigid cross-examination. - The
Irish Earl had a very uncomfortable time of
it for over an hour.
Mr. Giennie was the second witness. He
went over the same ground as Lord Dun
raven and was also cross-examined by Mr.
Choate"
When ttrswas finished Mr. Askwith pre
sented depositions made by Capts. Cran
tied and Sycamore and m-mbers of the
Valkyrie crew. After these had been made
Mr. Askwith announced that Lord Dun
raven's cise was closed
Mr. Choate then called Nat Herre shoff as
the first witness for th defense. Mr Her
reshoff, who built the Defender, stated that
between thirteen and fourteen tons of lead
would be required to sink' her four inches
after she had been measured. He said that
it was not possible to add that quantity of
lead to the yacht's ballast and remove it
without being see.n by many persons. He
had not finished his testimony, when
at a few minutes before 6 o'clock the com
mittee adjourned the hearing till 10 o'clock
a m. to morrow. t
Lord Dunraven, Mr Askwith, and Mr
Hamilton came out together, and were
followed by letectivps Riodan snd Mad-I
den. of the Central office They fell in line'
about two yards behind the vi-itors, but did
not prevent a number of news-paper men
from surrounding His Lordship arid his
counsel Lord Dunraven siid he had noth
ing io say, and Mr Askwith siid he wou:d
like to speak, but could not. The party,
escorted by the detectives, then walked
down to the app8r'ments in Eist Twenty
fifth street, woich have been taken for-them
by Mr. Kersey. Lord Dunraven's agent
here
The hearing will in all probability be
broueht to a close to-morrow, aad a report
will be made to the club bv the committee.
Arrangements will be mcde for making the
proceedings public.
Mr. Askwith in opening the proceedings
iy presentirg Lord Dunraven's case, stated
that no charge was made against any indi
vidual member of the Defender syndicate.
Lord Dunraven did not claim that Mr.
Jselin oi any of the gentlemen having
general charge of the boat were guilty of
improper methods, but ffem his own ob
servations, and from what he had learned
from others, he was convinced that the
load-water line of tbe American boat bad
been increased after she bad been officially
measured, just prior to the first race This
be believed was done by surreptitiously
adding to her ballast so as to sink her four
inches deeper in the water than when she
was measured for the determination of her
racing length.
Mr. Askwith referred to the positions of
the two yachts on the night of Friday.
September 6th, preceding the first race. He
said that they were both in the Horse Shoe
Inside Sandy Hook and that the Defender's
tender, the Hattie Palmer, lay along aide of
the American boat at;d, her crew were at
work on her until 1 o'clock in the morning.
The next day those on board the Valkyrie
and on theCiiy of Bridgeport noticed that
the Defender was visibly deeper in the
- ater than on the day before. After
the first race Lord Dnnraven spoke to
Mr. Fish, the representative of the cup
committee and asked for a remeasurement
of the Defender and a marking of tbe load
water line on the hall B-fora this was
done Mr. .Askwith aald the Defender lay off
Bay Ridge all night with the Hattie Palmer
beside her and there was ample opportunity
to remove the extra ballast. On the Sunday
following the first race day when both
yachts were remessured, their water line
length was found to be substantially the
game as when first measured.
