THE OENsUs.
A Regular Kettle Of Fish.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.-The Senate
Appropriation Committee had before
them to-day the Secretary of Che Interior
and Mr.. Richards, the acting Superin-
tendent of the Census, with the view to
obtaining from them some information as
to the state of the Census 0fice and its
work. 1t is found that the work Of col
lecting and preparing the results Of
tic census for publication is In
a backward and greatly confused condi-
ton. This fact las become so manifest to
the committee that it Is net likely that the
pendi6g census deficiency bill VIII be re-
Commended for passage until substantial
assurances are furnished that the proposed
appropriation Will be employed in such a
manner as to produce clearly ee4ned re-
suits and bring the work speedily 10 close.
l prominent member of the committee
said Tonight that there seemed to be a
strong inclination upon the part of GER
lain scientific and philosophical gentle
men connected with the census to prepare
elaborate works upon special topics,
which they wished TO nave published at
the expense of the government, pFirci-
Dally for their personal glOriHcatiOn and
not for the legitimate purposes Of the
census. He said he thought that the
committee were unanimous in requiring
that the scope of the census publications,
row in preparatid4, should be clearly out
Iined Sgd confined to a practical limit, as
was cOntemRl2ted by the census act.
Secretary Teller is much concerned
about the state of the census, apd said to-
night 10 A representative of the Associated
Press that after conference with the
President he should probably telegraph
Gen. Francis a. Walker, late Superin-
feadei,t. to return Immediately to Wash
ington 10 take charge of the bureau and
brings its labors 10 . close. The census
Office has practically been without a head
since the prostratiOn by illness OF Ar.
Seaton, the Acting Superintendent, who

Impressive Funerals or the NeWhalI
House icmsVti.
MILWAUKEE, Jan. 25,-The solemn last
rites over the unrec0gnized victims of the
Newhall House disasters were performed
this morning. Nearly all the business
houses, all the city and county depart-
ments and the post office were closed from
IO to II. The occasion was generally OBJ
served as one of deep mourning. Pursu-
ant to the agreement of the clergy of all
confessions, twenty-three bodies were
awarded to the Protestants and
twenty to the Catholics. Each
victim was placed in neatly
trimmed coffin, and every SCRAP
recognized as the remains Of a human
body, was cared for. The bodies assigned
10 the FrOtsstants were taken to the EX-
position building, which was densely
crowded. The service commenced at 10
O'Clock under the direction of Rev. w.
Lester, OF the Episcopal Church. After
the reading of psalm and singing
there We're Scriptural readings by the
Methodist, Presbyterian, Unitarian and
Congregational clergy. Rev. Messrs. Free
man and Emanuel, of the Presbyterian
church; Rabbi Mex, of the Temple Eman-
uel, and Mr., Hoskins, of the GospeI
Church, delivered short addresses and
thes eryices closed with the singing of
"Old Hundred" in which the whole au-
dience joined.
The services experienced an inteFrItp
ton by the explosion of a steam pipe in
one of the galleries. The crowd made q
rush for the exits, bnt was soon quieted.
There were fully 0,000people in the build
ing, but the stampede was unattended by
any fatal result.
simultaneously with the eXerciaes az
the Exposition the Catholics held services
at st. Johns Cathedral, which was heavily
draped in mourning. Father Meogh de-
llvered the sermon, followed by a solemn
mass of requiem by Archbishop Heiss.

ties of the city paraded. Fully 5000 peo-
pie were in line, in spite of the bitterly
cold weather. The coffins were placed
upon sleighs prepared for the occa-
sion. Those of the Protestants were

Catholics to Calvary Cemetery and in

was the highest boon that could be given
people. He wound up eloquently and
tOuchlngly, dwelling upon the last words
of the dead Senator, ''almost home"
Mr.. KassOn compared Senator Hill with
Oliver Cromwell. He was sturdy and
honest in pun pose. His intellect was of
unusual power. He was not Dreiudiced
against the North, though his honest hope
for the welfare of the South had led many
TO think so. His integrity of heart was
great. He never failed to impress one
with the certainty of the honesty OF his
convictions. No higher tribute could be
paid to the honor of the dead than for
every member of Congress TO practice the
virtues which he possessed.
Mr.. Hooker, of Mississippi, said that
Mr.. Hill was so simple. vet so lucid and
so forcible in his arguments, that the
salient points of them were seized on by
the most unlntelligent. His words were
always the words of wisdom and lofty
patriotism. Wherever he spoke and what
ever he said was for the interest of his
country.
Mr.. Cox made the last speech. He COM
pared Mr.. Hill to Gambetta, and drew
parallel between their deaths. Mr.. Hill
had rounded a life of the rareSt mould,
His character combined beauty with
strength. He had legal mind. His forte
was as an advocate. His choice for
the unity of Georgia. rather than
the unity of his country was honest. He
was to the South what Gambetta was to
France. Both We're to save, but both
were there to rebuild and restore. He
was all for Georgia. His robust physique,
his eloquence, his silvery voice, was all
for Georgia. His devotion to Georgia was
but the stepping-stOne to his love for
his country. He was more than
classic hero. He was follower of the
meek and lOwly one. Mr.. Cox paid a
high tribute to the long roll of GeOrgians
who have achieved fame as statesmen,
soldiers and sailors.

New Regulations as to Fire Pumps,
Boats and Rats.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.-At a meeting
of the Board of Supervising Inspectors of
steam vessels to-day, upon the report of
the Committee on Fire Apparatus, the fol-
lowing resolution, which had been pre-
viOusly offered, was adopted:
ResOIced, That the atb paragraph of
rule % of the rules and regulations be
amended by adding to the end thereof the
following words: "And no fire pump thus
provided for, except upon ferry boats,
shall be placed below the deck of YES
ssel."
Rule Is, relating to the number of boats
to be carried by river steamboats,, was
then amended so as to provide that steam
ers having a capacity of less than 800
tons shall carry one boat, between 800 and
600 tons two boats, between 600 and 900
tons three boats, between 900 and 1,200
tons four boats, and above 1,2OO
tons five boats, these boats to
be additional to the ones required
by law, provided, however, that
river steamers required to carry more
than two boats may, where the owners
prefer to do so, supply a boat of capacity
above that number with a good substan-
tial life raft or RATS, such raft or RATS to
be of equal aggregate carrying capacity
with the boats so omitted.

STAR ROUTER DORSEY.
Further Damaging Testimony Again
the Statesman.

Further Damaging Testimony Against
the Statesman.
WASHINGTON, Jan. pa. E. Boone
was placed on the stand by the prosecu-
tion to-day to testify against Brady, Dor
sey and othere. lie corroborated all the
testimony of witness Moore, given on
Tuesday, so far as Moore had referred to
himself. Boone had come into connec-
tion with the indicted parties because a
competent man was wanted to prepare
bids. Dorsey asked Roone' to undertake
this work ona salary, but Boone demanded
and received an interest in the business.
Witness told how he caused circulars to
be printed and sent out to the Post
masters by Dorsey's direction, his testi-
mOny on this point being substantially n
repetition of his testimony given at the pre-
ceding trial, which was not admitted.
The defense moved that all of the testi-
mOny relative to the seldihg out of blank
proposals De stricken out, because it was
not shown that they concerned any of the
routes set out in the Indictment, and for
other reasons. A long argument ensued.
in the course Of Which Col, Ingersoll as
serted that the court had rejected letters
connected with the proposals at the for
mer trial, and that the government had
then caused them to be published in the
New York Herald. They did that because
they were trying the case before the pub
lie and not before this court.
The court said the principal question
was whether there was conspiracy or
not, Senator Dorsey was not mentioned
by name in the contracts. OF course at
that day it was impossible to say who was
to get the contract upon any particular
route. Proof of general confederacy or
combination for the purpose of securing
contracts would be competent evidence,
although it must be understood that it
would be admitted solely as showing a
combination, 1t was only admitted as to
Dorsey and Miner, unless other defendants
should be connected with it afterwards.
Witness said he was directed by Dorsey
to send out blank proposals to certain
Postmasters. The bondsmen would be
furnished there to the bidders here.
Witness was asked who received the
proposals and when they were returned.
but objection was made, and another dis
cussiOn followed.
Colonel Bliss Gaid Colonel IngersolI
was right m his statement that the gov
ernment assumed that Stephen w, Dorsey
was the root of the concern. In point of
fact, he sent out the proposals and re-
ceived them.
The court allowed the question, and the
witness said the packages were returned
to him through Stephen w. Dorsey. The
letters were then offered in evidence as
showing Dorsey's connection with the
transactions to which the witness had
testified. In other words, as Mr.. Merrfck
said, the witness ON the stand was tenn
porarily PLACED aside While S. w. Dorsey
himself spoke to the jury ia what he had
written with his own hand.
