esdat. The house resumed consid-

ami? quesuon Deiojj on me mouou
de by Mr. Ilayea, of Iowa, to reconsid-
the vote by which the house refused
table the amendment for payment of
i.lowB, etc. The house relused yeas
1, nays 109 to reconsider the vote. Af
ter some time spent in filibustering, the
bill was sent, bark to conference., Mr.
Ilolman presented the disagreeing report
on the sundry civil appropriation bill
and immediately demanded the previous
question on the report. It was ordered
and then there was half an hour's debate
upon the conference report as far as it
recommended an agreement. Then came
up the world's fa'rr amendments, and Mr.
Holman gave no'ico that on Wednesday
be would demand the previous question
upon the main proposition and amend
ments thereto. Mr. Bankhead was the
first member to offer an amendment, and
this amendment was to reduce from $5,
000,000 to $5 the appropriation for the
world's fair. Mr. Outhwaite opposed
the appropriation made by the
bill. He denounced the appropria
tion of $5,000,000 for the fair, as the
most outrageous piece of legislation ever
attempted in. the house. Then came as
an interruption another conference report
on the general deficiency appropriation
bill. The report was agreed to and the
house retimed consideration of the sun
dry civil. bill. Mr. Wheeler, of Ala
bama, was recorrpifd and continued his
remarks in a discussion of the force bill.
Mr. Olis, of Kansas, made a free silver
and Farmers' Alliance speech. Messrs.
Taylor and Wike, of Illinois, and Boat
ner, of Louiina, in brief remarks fa
vored the appropriation. Mr. O'Neill, of
Pennsylvania thought the appropriation
should not be a gift, but a loan. The
house thou adjourned i
Wkdsksday In the house, Wednes
day, it was expecte d that a vote would
bo taken on the' world's lair nmendment
to the cundry civil bill .without debate,
but the friends of the fair at the last mo
ment concluded tht it would be better
to hitve more talk and, when at 12:30
o'clock the sundry civil report again ob
tained the floor, Mr. Caruth.of Kentucky,
was giwn an opportunity to explain why
he had decided to change front at this
time for the appropriation. His reason
was that the fair had become a national
matter. Mr.. Hopkins, of Illinois, closed
for the appropriation, his strong point be
ing that by ordering Sunday closing the
house had diminished the fair receipts.
Mr. McMillin closed for the opposition,1
urging the necessity for economy. The
debato being concluded Speaker Crisp
announced that he was satisfied that his
ruling Tuesday should be changed. The
effect of the ruling was to give Mr. Hol
man entire control of the situation unless
the house should take it away from him
by voting down some proposition he
makes. The first Benate . amendment
proposed to increase the appropriation
for the government exhibit, and, on Mr.
Iloiman's motion, the house, without
division, insisted on its non concurrence
in this amendment. The same course
was followed a to other amendments
of minor importance to the
five-million-dollar appropriation, the
world's fair minagers not caring to force
the fighting until the big appropriation
was reached. In this way, without
division, all the senate word's fair amend
ments wereent bick to conference until
the five-millidVdollar appropriation was
reached. Mr. Holman, in accordance
with the opposit'on programme, yielded
to Mr. Bankhead to offer the five million
dollar amendment and the previous
quesion beintr "ordered, the clerk began
to call the roll on Mr. Bunkhead's
amendment. Op the first roll call the
amendment w;is de'eated by a vote of 77
to 141. Mr. Holman demanded the yeas
and nays and a. second roll call was
ordered. When the clerk finished the
calling of the roll it was noised around
that the motion had secured a majority
of no irly twenty. Mr. Holman immedi
ately chunked his vote from the
negative to the affirmative
in order that he miaht be entitled to
move a reconsideration. Several votes
were withdrawn, and the speaker finally
declared the motion carried by a vote of,
yeas 117, nays 105. All of the republi
cans voted t concur in the senate Amend
ment. The Farmers' Alliance members
vote! against concurrence, Six'y three
democrats voted to concur. On the an
nouncement of the vote Mr. Holman was
promptly on his feet with a motion to
reconsider, nnd Mr. Bingham as prompt
ly moved to lay that motion on the table.
Then fi 'ibusterinsj began in earnest. Mr.
Outhwaite, of Ohio, moved an adjourn
ment and pending that moved that when
the house adjourn it be to meet Friday
next. This was supplemented by Mr.
Bailey, of Texas, with a motion for an
adjournment until Saturday. Seventy
seven of the opponents of the world's fair
propositi n refrained from voting and Mr. i
Buley's motian was lost yeas, 2; nays,
143. The point of no quorum was raised
. and Mr. Bingham moved a call of the
house, which was ordered, but only after
the fililmsterers had wasted some time by
demauding tellers. Two hundred and
eight membef responded to their names.
Mr. Bingham offered a resolution revok
ling all leaves of absence except those
granted on account of sickness and di
recting the sergennt-at-arms to notify
absent members to utcd to the sessions
of the house immediately. The resolu
tion was subsequently withdrawn and
the house adjourned. When the matter
again comes up the pending vote will be
on Mr. Bingham's motion to table the
motion made by Mr. Holman to recon
sider the vote by which the house reced
ed from its disagreement to the world's
fair amendment.
Thursday. McM illin, of Tennessee,
called up in the house a joiot resolution
that congress adjourn Saturday, at 2
o'clock. Mr. Hatch opposed it because
he wanted the anti-options bill to pass
and Mr. Outhwaite, the leader of
the filibusters, has also opposed it, and

ment, fixing tbe date of adjournment at
2 o'clock Monday next. The original
McMillin resolution providing for the fi
nal adjournment of congress at 2 p. m.
Saturday, was then adopted by a
vote of 121 to 51. The speaker stated
the pending motion to b that
made by Mr. Bingham to table
the motion to reconsider the vote by
which tbe house receded from its disa
greement to the senate's World's Fair
amendment. Immediately the filibus
terers came to the front led by Mr.
Outhwaite, who moved an adjournment,
supplementing this motion with one to
adjourn until Saturday. Mr. Cummings,
of New York, acted as lieutenant and
moved an adjournment until Monday.
On the Cummings motion the vote stood:
yeas 1, nays 161, 2 less than a quorum,
and tbe house was at a standstill, having
refused to order a call. On the vote re-
ment nxinf the d
currincr. on Mr. Curaming'a i mo
tion to adjourn till Monday,
the house was again left without a quo
rum.
Fni day. Tbe World's Fair matter
was delayed by a question ,of privilege
raised by Mr. Wheeler, of Alabama, re
lative to certain statements contained in
a campaign book recently published" by
n -m m g
Keprtsentative watson, ot veorgi,-B'
viewing the action of the present congress
and positions taken by its members in
the past. The house was thrown into a
state of great confusion resulting from
tbe assertions by Mr. Watson that , every
word written in the book to which
Wheeler referred was literally true, and
that he stood rcadv to defend every word
of them. The assertion was greeted with
prolonged hisses, as the words charge
that drunken members reel through the
aisles, and drunken members speak upon
nrave measures. Mr. Watson, was
called to order by Mr. Tracy,
of New York, who was greatly
indignant over the wholesale charge upon
the house. Mr. Watson was permitted
to explain his language. He reiterated
his assertion as to the truth of the state
ment made by him and defied the house
to do with him what it wit-hea. axx.
Boatner introduced a resolution calling
for the appointment of a committee to
investigate the truth of Mr. Watson's
charges relative to drunkenness of mem
bers of the house, and to recommend
what course shall be taken with respect
to the member (Mr. Watson) if the
charge is found to be untrue. Filibus-
tering was immediately inaugurated by
Mr. Cummings, of New York, assuming
command of the filibusters. Mr. Boatner
askd for immediate' action on the reso
lution, and the Question Of its privilege
was discussed and was ruled to be privi
leged and adopted without division. It
was after 1.30 p. nu when the house re
sumed the consideration of the World's
fair amendments to sundry civil appro
priation bills. '
Saturday. The World's fair appro
priation continues to deadlock congress.
The filibustering in the house went on
Saturday until the announcement was
made of the death of Representative
Craig. The house then adjourned out of
respect to his memory. Before that,
however, and during the filibustering
Mr. Holman reported a resolution ex
tending the old sundry civil appropria
tions until August 4th. Mr. Hopkins, of
Illinois, one of the World's fair advo
cates, objected to its consideration,
knowing at the time that a failure to
adopt it would leave many departments
of the government without funds. His
objection sent the resolution over.
THE SENATE.
TUESDAY As soon as the journal of
Monday was read and a few depart
mental communications laid before the
senate by its president pro tem., Mr.
Manderson, a motion was made by Mr.
Quay to go into executive session for the
purpose of considering the nomination of
justice of the supreme court. The mo
tion was agreed to and within the brief
6pice of five minutes the doors were re
oened, the nomination of Mr. Shiras as
justice of the supreme court of the United
States having been confirmed. The pre
siding officer at 1 o'clock laid before the
senate Mr. Hale's rtsolution as to the re
lative effects of the republican policy of
"protection" and the democratic policy
of "tariff for revenue only," ind Mr.
Aldrich proceeded to address the senate
on that subject, making a strong protec-

The debate was interrupted in order to per
mit the conference report on the general
deficiency bill to be presented. The
readinc of the rport showed that the
conferees had agreed to modify the sen
ate amendment as to payment for govern
ment transportation on Pacific railroads.
Other senators came into the debate,
which lasted four or five hours. Mr.
Hale's resolution was then laid on the
table. The anti-option bill was laid be
fore the senate as unfinished business and
it went over till Wednesday. The house
bili irranting a pension of $12 a month to
army nurses was taken up from the cal
endar and passed with amendments arid
a conference asked. ' After a short txec
utive essirn the senate at 6:10 o'cloek
adiuurned.
Wednesday. In the senate, Wednes
dav. Se'.a or Hale, of the committee on
naval atNirs, introduced a joint res,oiuuou
to amend the act in relation to the pro
posed international naval review at
Hampton Road3 and New York. The
amendment empowers and directs the sec
retary of the navy to send the United
States ships of war to rendezvous in
Hampton Koads in April, 1893, and to
proceed thence at some time during the
month of May or June to New York har
bor to hold a review. The senate joint
resolution authorizing foreign exhibitors
at the world's Columbian exposition to
bring into the United States foreign
laborers of their respective countries for
the purpose of preparing for and making
their exhibits was taken from the calen
dar and passed. The anti-option bill
then came up and three speeches
vrere made upon it. Jso
nttrmnt was made to have a rote on
Mr. Wolcott's motion to refer the bill to
the c'-mmittee on finance and when Mr
Washburn aked unanimous consent to
have a time fixed, (perhaps Thursday)
for taking the find vote on the bill and
pending amendment, a very prompt and
determined objection was interposed by
Mr. White. Many house pension bills
were taken from the calendar and passed;
also, the senate bill to facilitate the en
forcement of the immigration and con
tract labor laws ol the united states;
also, the house bill to authorize the con
struction of a bridge over the Tennessee
river at Deposit, Ala. Alter a anon
executive session tbe senate adjourned.
Thursday. In the senate, sundry res
olutions for the appointment of select
committees to sit during recess were re
ported. After spending one hour in pass
ing bills on the calendar, among them
the eight-hour law as to the public workj
of the United States and the District of
Columbia, the anti-option bill was taken
up at 2 o'clock p. m., and Mr. Washburn
moved to lay on the table. Mr. Wolcott
moved to refer it to tbe committee on
finance. This was agreed to by
the very decisive majority of 82 to 18.
Mr. Paddock then proceeded to deliver
an argument in favor of the bill. Mr.
Turpie also defended the bid, both from
moral and legal points of riew. After
wards the amendments came up for ac
tion. 'Mr. Washburn's amendment to

Owing to the hot wjather many senators
have left Washington for the summer.
Senator - Washburn realizes he could
never get a quorum to vote upon it this
session, so he agreed at Saturday's ses
sion for it to go ever until December.
That practically means its defeat after
the election, as but little interest will be
taken fn the measure, and the opposition
will find no difficulty in postponing it
indefinitely.- , ;

The president - on Wednesday, nomi
nated A Barton Hepburn of New York
to be comptroller of the currency, vice
Lacey, resigned. Hepburn is at present
a national bank examiner, in New York
City, and previous to receiving that ap-
E ointment he was superintendent of state
anks in New York state.
The president, on .Friday, vetoed the
famous McGarrahan claim bill. The veto
message comes in the face of the fact
that the bill passed both houses of con
gress by more than a two-thirds majority.
For his veto the president ; has been se
verely criticised. Old man McGarrahan
had expected it from the president's de
lay in acting, and received the news
philosophically. He believes it can be
passed over the president's veto in De
cember. Such an effort will be made.
A MILLION DOLLAR FIRE.
Bay City Massachusetts, Yislted by a
Terrible Conflagration.
The greatest conflagration which ever
visited Bay City Mass., broke out at ?
o'clock Monday afternoon in the lumber
manufacturing establishment ot Miller &
lurner. A brisk touthwest wind was
blowing, which Janned the flames into
a roaring conflagration: In an hour the
flames had consumed Miller & Turner's
plant, comprising a saw,mill, salt blocks,
iry kilns and a large quantity of lumber.
The flames had also traveled three bkeks
to the ea stward and cut a swath two
blocks wide. At this p'd&t the path of
the cocfligration broadened and block
after block was swept over with astonish
ing rapidity. The scenes which ensued
beggars description ; tl housauds of men,
women and children rushed "about, all
i ngaged in removing furniture and house
hold effects frcm before the advancing
flimes. ' .- , , ' " - ; ..
At 5 o'clock about thirty blocks had
been burned over, while twenty more
were supplying fresh fuel to the devour
ing element. Assistance was telegraphed
for to Saginaw, Flint and: Detroit.
Saginaw and Flint responded, each city
sending an engine and quantities of hose.
But with hundreds of streams playing 'on
the fire th flames pursued their course,
licking up house after house, until at 8
o'clock upwards of three hundred dwell
ings had been dfstriyed. While a ma
jority of the buildings burning belonged
to the working people, many fine resi
dences have been consumed. Two
churc-es, four hotels and about forty
stores, of all varieties, are- included
among the structures which have con
tributed fuel to the flames.
Many tumors' were tfloat concerning
persons who are supposed to have per
ished. Sofaras is positively -known
only one death has occurred. Miller &
Turner, on whose premises the fire stirt
ed lost about f 150,000, mostly covered
by insurance. The entire loss will reach
upwards of f 1,000, 00U, but is impossible
to learn to-ni-ht the extent to which the
different parties are insured.

Deplortble State of Affairs in the
Ruined City. .
A dispatch of Tuesday from Halifax,
N. 8., says: The latest information from
St Johns, N. FM states that the militia
still parade the streets to maintain order
and prevent incendiarism. The condi
tion of the inhabitants of the western
that is the preserved section of the city
is by them considered more deplorable
than the majority of those who suf
fered. In consequence of this mis
taken impression some of the most
indigent of the western part are act
ually trying to burn their few bui'd
ings that they may participate in the re
lief contribution. Fully 7,000 persons
are encamped ia indescribable confusion
on the large fields, their housing being to
the greater number the worst feature
there is at present. There is no want of
clothing or food. The coming fall sni
winter, however, will, it is feared, realize
the famine that succeeded the feast.

ing resolution, which was unanimously
adopted:
Resolved, That we regard the interfer

have confidence in the power of the law
to keep the peace and, therefore, demand
the 8bo!it:n by law of the practice of

RIOT ON A TRAIN.
Workmen Bound for Homestead Under
Guard Rebel.
A Pittaburir disDatch savs: A riot oc
curred Thursday morning on the Balti
more and Ohio train, on which a party of
fifty-six non-union men were being trans
ported from Cincinnati to Pittsburg to
work in the Carneaie Steel Vork9 at
Homestead. One' man was stabbed in
the forehead with a bayonet in the hands
of an armed guard. Another had his
thumb chewed off and nearly a score of
others were badly bruised in an attempt
to regain their liberty. When the train
reached Pittsburg only twenty-one men
were aboard in addition to the armed
guard, the other thirty-five having
escaped from the car between Whitehall
station and the depot in Pittsburg. When
they left Cincinnati the men did not
ktow- they were being taken to the
Homestead mills, and when they found
it out they rebelled. That is how the
riot had inception.

cilia started Tuesday for South Carolina

A SLICK SWINDLER
ltUaptlng to Get in His Work en Ex
Confederate Soldiers.
The Washington Post of Tuesdsy pub
lishes the following: "A systematic at
tempt to swindle ex-coo federate aoldien
has Men unearthed in this city and to
day the matter was brought i the atten
tion of General Raum, commissioner of
pensions, by & G. Warring. The party
who is said to be at the head of the
scheme is a man named Mason, who fig
ured here during the forty-eighth and
forty-ninth congresses as a sort of lobyist.
Mason's mode of operation is said to be
similar to one attempted several years
ago by other parties. He has printed
circulars headed "To Ex-Confederate
Conscripts," with which he has flooded
many localities in the southern states, i
The circular declares that the United
States had a light to protect its loyal
citizens in the South from conscription
into the Confederate army, and its fail
ure to do so makes the government liable
for damages in each case where a man
was so conscripted or forced into the
southern army. ' It further states that all
an ex-conscript has to prove in order to
receive damages is to prove his loyalty
and that be was compelled to enter the
army of the enemy against his will. In
this connection Mason cites a number of
alleged decisions of tbi United States
supreme court deciding, in effect, that
if the government could not protect its
citizens in such an emergency, it at least
could pay any damage that might accrue
from said lack of protection. Mason
wants to bring the matter before both
congress and tbe supreme court, but in
order to do so he must have funds. His
circular, therefore, appeals to the poor
excon federates to send him such amounts
of money as they can spare, not less than
$1, to be used as a fund for carrying out
his impracticable schemes. Southerners
in this city who have heard of the move
ment are highly indignant and unhesi
tatingly pronounce it an unmitiga.ed
fraud, and it is more than probable that
the matter will be investigated by pen
sion office officials."
SHE IS INSANE.
So Say the Jury in the Alice Mitchell
Murder Case.
A Memphis, Tenn., dispatch says: A
arge crowd was jn attendance at the
criminal court Saturday, it being an
nounced that Judge DuBose would de-
lver the charge to the jury in the famous
Alice Mitchell case, murderess of Freda
Ward. The defendant appeared calm
and collected during the reading of tbo
charge, the time occupied in its delivery
being fifteen minutes'; the question of
sanity or insanity of the prisoner at the
time of "the trial being the only question
considered. The jury retired at 9:30
and at 9:50 o'clock filed into the court
room with the following verdict:
"We, the jury, find the defendant,
Alice Mitchell, insane, and believe it
would endanger the safety of the com
munity to set her at Liberty."
Alice Mitcnell was then remanded to
the custody of the sheriff, and will be
ordered placed in an insane asylum.
Should she be released as sane at any
time she can then be placed upon trial on
the charge of murder, as she was only
tried as to her mental soundness or un
soundness at the time of her trial, the
question as to her mental condition at the
time of the commission of the homicide
not being touched upon during her trial,
now concluded.
When the verdict was read by the clerk
a faint smile spread over the defendants'
features as if she had been confident of
the jury's verdict throughout the entire
trial. She was taken to jail, gayly chat
ting as she went, and will be sent thence
to ono of the state insane asylums.
A BANK ROBBED.
So One to Protect it Except the Pres
ident's Wife,
A dispatch from Kansas City brings
news of the robbery of the bank of El
Reno of $10,500 Wednesday morning.
It seems that nobody was in the bank
at the time except Mrs. Sawyer, wife of
the president. At half-past 10 o'clock a
stranger entered the bmk, stepped up
to the cashier's window, and made an in
quiry about some town lots and then
stepped to the desk and commenced
writing. Io a moment, another stranger
stepped to the cashier's desk, and pre
senting a gun at Mrs. Sawyer's head de
manded that she hand out all the money
ia the bank. She stepped .to
a vault and handed him all the packages
of bills in tbe vault's safe, and what
W88 in the daily chnnge drawer, aggre
gating about $10,500. The man who
was writing at the desk grabbed the
money as Mrs. Sawyer handed it through
the wicket and disappeared out the door.
The one holding the yun followel quick
ly. Mrs. Sawyer then screamed several
times and fe!l over in a swoon. The rob
bers mounted horses and rxle away. Mr.
Sawyer arrived at home rbout thirty min
utes after the robbery. The r boery is
