THE CONTESTED CASES.
No Action Taken Upon Any of Them
by the Senate.

WAsHINGToN,J Jan. 13.-In the executive
session of the senate to-day, after the re-
ports of committees had been received and
the calendar was taken up, all contested
cases" were passed over and the nomina-
tions which were confirmed were those to
which no objection was made. They were
chiefly of men who had been appointed to
fill vacancies. A few, like that of Post
master Judd of Chicago, whose predecessor
was suspended, were cases in respect to
which committees had called for informa-
ton from the executive department.
1t is the opinion of a major
ity of senators that the senate
ought to have information whenever it
chooses to call for it with respect to the
reasons for making removals. 1t has been
the habit of the senate to call upon the
heads of departments for information of
this kind from the foundation of the gov
ernment; though it remains an open Ques-
ton whether it can be set down as a con-
stitutional right None of the committees
have as yet reported any instance of re-
fusal on the part of the administration to
furnish the information called for.
while on the other hand many re-
sponsessto inquiries in respect to particular
cases have been received. There is, conse-
quently. as yet. no issue between the adj
ministration and the senate in this regard.
The subject was not discussed in the senate
to-day. If the issue is ever Squarely made,
il will probable be discussed with open
doors, and is not likely to be made party

MARRIED A MINISTER.
The NuDtiaIs of Miss Edith Foster
and Rev. Allen Dulles.

WAsHINGToN, Jan. 13.-The marriage
of Miss Edith Foster. daughter of Hon.
John W. Foster of Indiana, formerly min
lister to Spain, to the Rev. Allen NJ. Dulles
of Detroit, secretary of the Presbyterian
board of publications, took place this even
ing at the New York Avenue Presbyterian
church, and was a brilliant affair. The at
tendance was large and fashionable.
Among the prominent persons present
were Postmaster General and Mrs.
Villas, Chief Justice and Mrs. Waite,
Senators Harrison and Voorhees,, Senior
Valero. Spanish minister, and all the men,
bers of the Spanish legation. Senior Romero,
the Mexican minister, Mr.. ChOng TsaO Ju,
the Chinese minister, and representatives
from all the other foreign legations. The
ceremony was performed by Rev. Dr.
Dulles of Philadelphia, father of the groom,
assisted by Rev. DR.. Bartlett. pastor of the
church. The bride entered the church,
leaning on the arm of her father and fol-
lowed by her four bridesmaids, viz: Miss
ter of the groom, Miss Burbank and Miss
NOrdhoff. The bridal party was preceded
by six ushers, and, after passing up the
aisle, was joined at the chancel by the
groom and his brother, the Rev. j. A.
Dulles, who acted as best man. After the
ceremony a reception was held at the resi-
dence of Mr.. Charles NJ. Nordhoff. EXten-
sive preparations had been made for hold
ing the reception at the residence of the
brides parents, but the building was so
seriously damaged by fire last night that it
was found necessary to change the plans.

Traitors or Fools.

LONDON, Jan. 13.-The Irish local gov
eminent bill will be delayed until the En-
glish bill is settled. Although promised in
the queens speech, the Irish measure may
not appear during this session of parlia-
ment. The Parnellites are not eager to
force the government to declare its Irish
policy. Mr.. Gladstone and Lord Harting-
ton, it is said, disagree as to a home-rule
platform, and the Duke of Devonshire is
urging Lord Harrington to an open rupture
with the eX-premier. William T.. Leckey,
the historian, has written letter on the
Irish question, in which he declares that
any English statesman that advocates hand
ing over the property of the government in
ireland to the Parnellites is either traitor
or fool. To set up an Irish parliament,
he thinks, would be an act of wickednesS
unparalleled even in Irish history. What
Ireland needs, he says, is the restoration OF
the liberty of the people to pursue their
lawful business and fulfill their lawful con-
tracts. Unless the law of the empire be re-
stored in Ireland industrial ruin is inevi-
table, and will be followed by anarchy,
which can only be quelled by the sword.

A Panic AYerfeh.

CHICAGO, Jan. ia disastrous panic
was very narrowly averted at the Chicago
opera house this afternoon. The house
was packed with an audience consisting
mainly of ladies present at the first public
reception of the Chicago opera house con-
servatory. Miss Anna Morgan had just
commenced recitation, when suddenly a
cloud of smoke rolled out over the foot
lights. The audience was terror stricken
and made frantic efforts to quit the bnild-
ing, but the aisles were so crowded that few
got lar from their seats. One or two ladies
tainted. Miss Morgan calmly continued
her recitation until Manager Kayser of the
conservatory appeared on the stage and
quieted the crowd by saying that the small
blaze was caused by an overturned lamp and
apiece of paper and was quite extinguiShed.
Though the theater was still filed with
smoke the audience remained and the per-
formance went on. The building is well
known to be thoroughly fireproof. and
Manager Henderson, the dOorkeeper, and
ushers, by reminding those near the en-
trance of that fact, did much toward quiet
ing the audience.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1S.-The house
committee on coinage, weights and meas

ferred to the committee have not been
reached, and so no business could be trans

opinion of the committee that the interests
OF the country demanded that the commit
Tee should make as early a report OF the
silver question as possible i'm order that the
matter might be settled. Wednesday was
selected as the regular day of meeting in

stock suffering severely.

NEW ORLEANS, Jan. ia SD ecial
from the Indian Territory says: Reports
from the ranges are to the effect that the
cold weather has been particularly severe
on the cattle interests. In the Cherokee
nation, where the greater part of the stock
range is eentered, the loss is heavy, nearly
every stOckman losing some. The McClel-
IAN Cattle company has lost many head of
cattle, as have also all the members of the
ChOctaw and Chickasaw nations. where the
loss has been very great. The cattle have
wandered for miles, and in many cases have
been stopped by wire fences. remaining
there until frozen to death. The streams
have all been frozen over for many days,
and the want of water and food, together
with the bitter cold, have combined to
cause the death of unnumbered head of
cattle and horses. Altogether the cold
snap has been most disastrous TO the stock
raising interest.

weather is much milder to-day. The low

Office last night was 21o. This gradual
rise of temperature will minimize the dam

Monday, and it is now believed that beyond
the loss of the fruit on the trees and the
blighting of the leaves, the orange trees
have suffered no material damage. Reports
throughout the orange sections say the
fruit on the trees was frozen. A gradual
