NICARAGUA TREATY TALK.
Senator'S Enter in Little Discussion
Behind Closed Doors

Senator'S Enter in. o "a Little Discussion
Behind Closed Doors.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 8.-The Nicaraguan
treaty has not been ratified yet, all reports to
the contrary Notwithstanding. In fact it has
not been debated yet in the Senate except in
cidentally. The executive session of to-day.
which lasted from O'Clock to 5:30, was given
up to a lively discussion of the proposition to
open the doors of the Senate during the dis
cussion of the pending reciprocity treaties
Messrs. Conger and Van Wyck stirred up the
dry bones of the Senate traditions in rafting
speeches in favor of opening the DOORS They
insisted that the people who were directly in
terested had a right to know what was being
mercial treaties should be discussed pub
lcy. Mr.. Edmunds, who stood up for
the old ways of the Senate, was willing to ad-
mt that that there might be reasons why
commercial treaties should be discussed pub
licly, but insisted that the Nicaraguan treaty
did not come within this exception to the
general rule.
Mr.. Miller, of California, and Mr.. Morgan.
of Alabama, on behalf of the Foreign Rela-
latIOns Committee, presented the most cOgent
argument on the side of the traditions. They
explained that the Secretary of State had
transmitted to the Foreign Relations Com
mittee certain diplomatic information of a
secret character IN connection with the
introduced by the Foreign Relations
Committee in the debate on It's ratification.
and that it was not such information as the
public should know. This was enough for the
Senate, which, following the precedents
promptly determined, by vote OF 40 to y,
that the doors should be kept closed at least
during the discussion of the Nicaraguan
treaty. The latter will come up tomorrow
again, and its discussion Is expected to run
for several days. There is at present a gen.
eral belief among well-infOrmed Senators that
il will he ratified.

CLEVELAND. Jan. s.-There is a brighter
outlook among the rolling mills and iron
furnaces of Cleveland. For several weeks
nearly all the departments OF the Cleveland
Rolling Mill Company have been idle, and
many men employed on them have been un-
able to provide for their families. The -Etna

been idle for about one month, and it has
been estimated that over 1000 men have been
idle during the last few weeks in Newburg.

about three weeks. The Emma blast furnace,

commence Feb. l. Several departments in the
Plate mill will resume work In few days.
The Rail Mill and Bessemer Steel Works are
still idle, but it is thought that these DEPART
ments will start up next week.

have been reduced so per cent. since 1874.
that the price paid for spinning work on a
pair of mules of $1,000 spindles
Will be 80 cents per 1000 skeins, against 33
cents paid for the same work in Oldham
England, and that SO hours of labor per week
only are required of spinners in England
against 66 hours in this country. Labor, he

ed. but organization is essential. The Secre-
tary calls upon every spinner to be present

South Carolina Judges Take a Step
Against Improper Preferences.
COLUMBIA, Jan. S.-The Supreme Court has
rendered decision which will work revo-
luton in commercial affairs where parties
undertake to evade a just settlement of debts
by improper preferences An appeal was
taken, under section 2Ol4 Of the statutes, rem
dering void assignments by insolvent debtors
giving priority or preference. The court held
that the object of the act was to
prevent an insOlvent debtor from
transferring or assigning his prop
erty for the benefit of one or more cred
itOrs to the exclusion Of others, and whether
this object is sought to be effected by for
NAL deed Of assignment or in any other way,
it can make no difference. Any other view
would sacrifice substance to mere form and
enable insolvent debtors, by evasion, to effect
the purpose declared by the statute to be un-
lawful. The opinion was by Associate JUS
tice Mclver, Chief Justice Simpson dissent
ing. The case was remanded to the Circuit
Court for a new trial in accordance with the
decision.

LONDON. Jan. 6.-A dramatic incident Is

Right Rev. John jackson, d. D.. Bishop of
London. which occurred suddenly to-day at
his Episcopal residence, Fuiham Palace. The
Bishop would have completed his 74th year

vigorous.
On last Sunday he preached the sermon at
the evening service in st. PauPs Cathedral.
The Bishop was a smart theOlOgian and
fOrcihle speaker, bus his oratorlcal power
was weakened by a slow and cautious style
OF delivery. During a momentary pause IN
the discourse wild looking lndlEluual

gardlng some of His Objects.
WASHINGTON, Jan. S.-Col. Lamont, Presi-
dent elect Clevelands private secretary, ar
rived here to-day with Mrs. Lamont and
went to hotel. He says that he is here on
no more mysterious errand than TO secure
quarters for President Cleveland during the
inaugural period and to rent house for him.
self and family. Nevertheless he is suspected
by all the gossips of harboring grave designs
of many sorts touching the Cabinet of Presl-
dent Cleveland. He is said to be the bearer
OF dozen or more invitations to be handed
to those men among the Democratic
elect Cleveland desires desires in 'S-''olf- Al
bany in connection with his Cabinet de-
hberatlOns. The names of Messrs. Bayard,
Pendleton, Lamar and Garland are mentioned
as among those who are TO be asked to Albany.
In this connection, it is now said, that Mr..
Bayard desires Mr.. PendletOn to be placed at
the head of the State Department in Ithe new
Cabinet. 1he ssips have concluded from
this that MIR. Bayard does not propose to 20
into the Cabinet himself if invited but there
Is no warrant for this view. Col. Lamont
would have been deluged with visiting cards
all day and evening had he not directed the
hotel clerks not to send any cards to his room.
Many people have called to see him.
Among those who called on Col. Lamont
this evening was Washington Mclean, the
father of John Mclean. The clerk informed
him that Col. Lamont had left word that he
would see no one, and desired that no cards be
sent to his room. Mr.. Mclean insisted that
one exception would be made ia his case, SO
the clerk sent up the card. The servant
brought back word that Col, Lamont begged
to be excused. Mr.. Mclean went away very
indignant.
Col. Lamont to-day called upon President
Arthur, was shown through the White House
and had consultation with the Chairman of
the inauguration Committee. The President
received him cordially. Private Secretary
Phillips presented the clerical employees to
him, and shOwed him over the mansion. He

HOW REAGANs BILL PASSED.
The Voting Watched with Great Interest
by its Author and Randall.

WASHINGTON, Jan. S.-While the vote on
the passage of the Reagan bill was being
taken in the House to- day Messrs. Reagan and
Randall kept tally, sending for absentees
and watching the voting. At the
conclusion Of the roll call Mr.. Rea-
gan was trembling with nervous excite
ment. He received hearty congratulations
from his friends. All the New England men,
bers who were present. except Lowering, of
Massachusetts, voted against the bill. Most
of the Republicans did the same. Some of the
Western Republicans were exceptions. Most
OF the Democrats voted for it. 1t is probable
that the Senate will substitute a commission
bill for the Reagan bill, and that the whole
matter will be finally referred to conference
committee. The conference committee is
expected to report a compromise which will
eRbOdy the respective features of the Reagan
bill together with a provision providing for
a commission to administer the law. The
passage of some bill of this sort is generally
looked for in both houses.
