THE SENATE COMMITTEE ON RULES TO REPORT
ADVERSELY ON Mr.. PLATT'S RESOLUTION
The Senate committee on rules to-day ordered
adverse reports upon the resolution of Mr..
Plat to consider all executive nominations in
open session, on the resolution of Mr.. Hoar that
a yea and nay vote should be taken on all mo
tions to adjourn from Thursday to Monday, and
on the resolution of Mr. Morgan that daily
recess should be taken from to $50 pm.
Inc action OF the committee upon Mr.. Platt's
resolution, it is generally believed, will be rati-
fed by the Senate, as the sentiment of that
body seems decidedly against open considera-
tons.
Senator Platt was before the committee and
MADE strong argument in support of his reso-
iutlon- The vote upon it was follows:

gals. Senator Platt will ask that it
go upon the calendar, but will not seek to OBJ
tam consideration for it at once, as he does not
wish to have it connected in any way with
pending issues between the executive and the
Senate, with which, in fact, it has no necessary
relationship. Ultimately, ne will call it up in
open session and discuss it upon its merits.

Capitol Topics.

Mr.. MoRRIsoN's TARIFF BILL.
A member OF the ways and means committee
says that Mr.. Morrison's new tariff bill is very
moderate, and such as he thinks could easily
pass the House. He liked Mr.. Hweitt's plan for
specific duties better, however, because the
rates would not be subject to the market fiuctu-
ations, as those of an ad valorem scale would.
PENSION LEGISLATION.
1t is thought that the House will not be al
lowed to come to a vote on the proposition to
repeal the arrearage Of pensions Limitation,
and that whatever more is done in the way OF
pension legislation will be IN the nature of in
creasing rates.
DISGUISED COMMITTEE.
The committee on claims is getting disguised
with the treatment they receive in the House,
after devoting SO much time to the considera-
tion OF small private claims, and on their next
day will probably bring forward proposition
to dump ali the claims into court.
IN BEHALF OF CATTLE.
The Humane society placed blotters on the
desk of every member OF the House this morn
ing, calling upon Congress to pass law re-
quiring that cattle in transit be given food and
water, and be not crowded in the cars.
MR.. DEMENT, DOES NOT SAY ANYTHING.
surveyor General Dement, was notified by
the Senate committee on public lands of the
testimony in relation to interviews with him
given by certain newspaper correspondents.
with the intmation that 1t was deemed OF
sufnclent Importance to hear from him again
on the subject. Mr.. Dement, was at the Capitol
to-day and appeared in the committee room,
but said he could not remain. AT least he did
not accept the committees implied invitation
TO make further explanation.

The Honduras Filibusters.

POOR SUCCESS OE THE ADVENTURES WHO
SAILED on THE CITY OF MEXICO.
Letters received in New York give particulars
of the flibustering mission Of the steamer City
of Mexico, which recently went to Central
America, with General Delgardo on board, to
carry out ex-President Sotos scheme Of revolu-
tionizing Honduras. On January 25 the City
OF Mexico was lying at anchor in Brig bay. On
landing at Corn island, thirty miles from the
Nicaragua coast, at Bluefields, Captain Kelly
presented letters introducing General Degardo.
Every attention was shown the general until it
was discovered that he was on a revolutionary
mission. The City of Mexico went to Bluefields
expecting the Arran, a local steamer running
from Jamaica to the Nicaraguan coast to arrive
with arms and ammunition, which, however,
had been stopped at Kingston by the English
government unknown to the hlibusters. The
Mosquito government Of the Nicaraguan coast
would not allow the City OF Mexico To land at
Bluefields, because it was understood that she
had a lot Of hlibusters aboard, who, the natives
said, had come down to Honduras to get up a
revolution and take possession of the govern
ment. One of the officials writing from Mica
ragua says: 81 think the plan adopted by
General Degardo in behalf of ex-President Soto
will prove a failure. The City of Mexico will
have to go to Jamaica for coal. But the
Jamaica government has found them out i
guess they consider themselves in nix"

Porter's Big Fortune.


n NAN WHO CARRIED TRUNKS DIES WORTH n
HUNDRED THOUSAND.
John Carroll, who was buried I'm Philadelphia
yesterday, served at the Colonnade hotel, in
that city, for nfteen years head porter. He
died Tuesday. leaving a fortune estimated at
100000. He took the position at the hotel
after the war, and remained there without i'm
corruption until his death. About four years
ago he fell heir to a fortune Of some $50. 600.
LETT him by an uncle who had died at Oil city
after having grown rich by Investments and
transactions in oil lands. Carroll accepted his
good luck, as he did everything that came Ia
rim, good or bad, In quiet philosophical way.
II made no change whatever i'm his manner
ana, although he was able 10 buy and sell
three-iourths OF the people whose luggage
he handled, he still was respectful and
deferential, and accepted tips from spconle
whose every penny he could match with
dollar with an expression OF gratitude.
His earnings as head porter were owing to his
popularity with the patrons OF the Colonnade
very large, sometimes reaching n is said s2y
a day. He had invested his savings with prof
table foresight in real estate. He used his In
neritance IN the same way. and AT his death he
was the owner, IL was thought, OF thirty or forty
houses and was member OF several building
associations. His family in Ireland Is said 10
have occupied n very respectable place.
Latterly Mr.. Carroll lived I'm very comfortable
style. His house, at 9l5 south eth street. was
one OF the handsomest in that section of the
city, large and elegantly furnished Mr.. Car
rols family consisted Of a wife and daughter
The latter, rather delicate girl OF 10 IL being
educated at a fashionable convent. George Il
Crump, of the Colonnade, said that the lsorfer
was fun OF energy and shrewdness and that N
he had not chosen 10 grow rich in the humble
station that he occupied, he must have succeed
ed In some broad financial field. Carroll had
extraordinary strength for one 50 slight lookins
and used 10 surprise the guests at the hotel by
swinging big trunks upon his back as easily as
II they were paper-collar boxes.
