Rhea, of Kentucky, quoted from a let ter written by John Sherman, whom, he said, that "if there was one hole in hell hotter than another, it had been reserved for him, when Gabriel should blow his horn, waking the quick and the dead." This was received with a few hand-claps from the Democrats and vigorous hissing from the Republicans. In closing the debate for the Demo crats, Bailey, of Texas, said: "If the silver dollar was good enough for a workman, who produced the wealth; of the country, it was good enough for idlers, who dissipated it; if it was good enough for the poor it was good enough for the rich; if it was good enough for the merchant who took it in exchange for his wares it was good enough for the holder of Government obligations, and, by the eternahfne shall be com pelled to take them!" (Democratic ap plause.) Gen. Henderson, of Iowa, the stump of his lost leg resting upon the lid of his desk, amid confusion and enthusi asm almost unparalleled in the House, fired shot after shot at "the enemy, his stentorian voice overcoming every ob stacle in the shape of attempted inter ruption and applause. At the close of his few remarks there was a wild scene on the floor, justi fying his characterization of the pro ceedings, as that of a political conven tion, but it was by the Republicans. They swarmed in the aisles and in the pit in fr6nt of the clerk's desks, clap ping their hands and yelling in the ex cess of their approval - and joy, while the demonstration was aided by occu pants of the galleries rising and ap plauding the sentiments. Henderson declared the monogram of of the Democrats was R. R. R. radical, rascally repudiation. Dalzell, of Pennsylvania, closed the debate. Afterwards the vote was taken as above noted and the House ad journed. SENATE. Washington, Jan. 31. Mr. McLaurin, of South Carolina, was sworn in as Sen ator from that State today. . ? The bill raising the minimum rate of pensions to $10 per month was reported adversely by the Pensions Committee; reporting that it would affect nearly 500,000 pensioners and cost over $15, 000,000.'

' Washington, Jan. 31. The officers of the na-y on duty in Washington are very much perturbed .over Miss Christine Bradley's announcement that she will use water in christening the battleship "Kentucky." Not only are they surprised that Kentucky, of all States in the Union, is to be the first to set its influence against the use. of wine at the launch-: ing of vessels, but they express con siderable worry over the practical ef fect of Miss Bradley's purposes. "The intention of Governor Bradley's daughter may not strike landsmen as anything more than a good joke on the State that has always been presented as a hard-drinking community," said an officer today, "but it may result badly for the navy. Not a man in ser vice will feel a ray of comfort in sail ing a ship that has been baptized in water; and for myself, I think that no sailor man with hair on his chest and good red blood in his veins, can approve of any such disregard for conventional metnous. Mark my would, if water is used in the ceremony "Kentucky' will be an unlucky boat, or known as an unlucky boat, which is much the same thing. She will be a regular Friday boat in the mind of ever sailor man. She may not come to any grief, but she wili have a half-hearted crew. They will go into action in the Kentucky, if war should come in her time, just like a man with a cracked gun or broken sword.

London, Feb. 1 The passenger steam ship "Channel Queen," plying between Plymouth and the Channel islands, struck on Noir Rocher last even ng. The vessel keeled over after striking, mak ing launching of the boats very diffi cult. - When the boats were finally got afloat the steamship sank. When the wreck occurred the sea was very rough. Two tugs, with life-boats, went to the res cue, but were too late to save any lives. .The passengers on the "Channel fQueen" -were mostly French. Sixteen of them were certainly drowned. The steamship company's agent at Ply mouth wires that forty-four lives were lost, but gives no details. The vessel carried sixty-five passengers and crew, all told. The weather is heavy and the fog thick. When the steamship neared pruernsey, where she lost her course and struck the rocks, a terrific tide drift swept her against the rocks and fhe steamship capsized before the boats could be launched. A terrible scene ensued. The panic stricken Frenchmen on board impeded the sailors in their efforts to get the jboats out. The first boat launched was swamped and several persons in ii drowned. The second boat cleared just ras the ship sank, with only her f un- gnels showing out of the water. ? It "was daybreak this morning when khey. reached the main land. Some of jthe passengers and crew were rescued jvvhile cling to the wreckage. The cap 'tain -of the steamship was saved.

The reduction of wages went Into effect today at the Atlantic and Pacific cotton mills In Lawrence. Tremont and Suffolk mills at Lowell; Wllllmantlc mills, at Wllli mantic. Conn.: the Forestdale mills, at Forestdale. IL L. and the Chlcopee, of thin State. The cut-down applies to the wages of about 8.000 employes. The cut amounts to about 10 per cent at all the mills, except at Chlcopee and Lawrence mills, where It Is not more than S or per, cent. The adoption of a new schedule by these mills brings a total number of operatives by the reduction to about 125.000. The Industrial situation In New Eng land Is certainly no worre than it was two weeks ago. when 9.000 New Bed- i ford operatives and 5.000 In Maine t struck. They are still out and the mill remain closed, but affairs In Fall Klver, ' where a general upheaval, was threat ened at one time, are runnln? along, smoother. The only danrer there. Is the pcsslb'e collarse of the New Uedford strike, which Is very remote, when an attempt would undoubtedly be made to close the mills. V ii! m hi i' l:i u Y: i i h 4 . t i t i f l i ,
