The House.

WASHINGTON, March 15.-Mr. Thomas,
of Wisconsin, sent to the clerks desk a
clipping from New York paper setting
forth that one Reddington, a bucket
shop proprietor of Washington, had ac-
cused several members of the house
among them Mr.. Thomas, of Wisconsin:
Allen, of Michigan, and Weaver, of
Iowa-of being spectators and inter
ested in Pacific railroad legislation. Mr.
Thomas Indignantly repudiated the
suggestion and remarked that he be-
lieved the article was inspired by the
land grabbers themselves, who had
robbed the government of Sl7o,000, 900
and 26,O0O,000 acres of land. Mr.. Allen,
of Michigan, followed in refutation
speech.
Mr.. White introduced resolution
calling upon the postmaster general for
information as to whether the postOffice
department had issued all order de-
signed to prevent American dealers in
seeds from using the Canadian mails on
the same terms as their rival Canadian
dealers. If this has been done, and any
steps taken to prevent such practice. the
postmaster general is requested TO give
his authority of law and to explain rln-
der what provision of treaty the action
is taken. Referred. ,;.,e
The house then took upon cOnsidera-
ton the senate amendments to the ,ur-
gent deficiency appropriation bill, but
soon adjourned. lY.a

A COSTLY FAD"
Mrs. Cleveland's Collection OF
Diamonds Worth $4,000.

Diamonds Worth $4,000.
Baltimore American.
Mrs. Cleveland is developing ''fad"
IA costly one, perhaps-but one full of
common sense. 1t is nothing less than
the collection of diamonds, set and I'M
set. Through the love and generosity
of her husband. Mrs. Cleveland is al
ready the happy pOsseSsOr of a rare out
fit of diamond ornaments. Her we'd
ding gift, her birthday presents and, in
deed, on all occasions when Mr.. Cleve-
land desired to give her q pleasant sur
prise the gifts have always been dia-
monds-necklace. rings in prOfusion,
solitaire and otherwise, bracelets, pend
ants and brooches. In a word, the
Jewel case OF the presidents wife holds
a princely fortune in rare diamonds.
But the unmounted diamonds are
of Mrs. Cleyeland's own collect
ing. Never trip to New York
but she returns with some very pretty
unset stones. They are not very large,
of course, and some are off color, it is
true. She has arranged them in little
cabinets of inlaid wood. The cabinets
are provided with tiny little nests, filled
with cotton, and in them the diamonds
rest. Each nest has its number, and q
neat memorandum book tells, after every
number, the time and place of pur-
chase. and. practical woman that she is,
the value of the stone. Mrs. Cleveland's
total collection of diamonds, set and I'M
mounted, are estimated as being worth
certainly $4,000. There is less fad
dism" and caprice about such collect
ing spirit than it seems. Mr.. and Mrs.
Cleveland are eminently practical.
Presidential honors and salary come
and go; stocks rise and fall; real estate
may rise and fall. but the market value
of diamond is essentially the same al

Gen. Harney's Notion of Dignity.
Texas Siftings.

Texas Siftings.
The following story is told of Gen.
Harvey, when he was i'll command at
Camp Verde, Tex. He was an intensely
dignified officer, and if there was one
thing he detested more than another it
was undignified haste. One evening,
lust as he was about to hold dress pa
rade, he perceived that he had forgotten
his handkerchief, and, as the weather
was very hot, he said to his orderly:
$50 to my quarters, quick, and bring
my handkerchief"
The orderly touched his cap and
started for the quarters, several hundred
wards distant. After he bad proceeded
short distance, remembering that
there was no time to lose, he broke into
trot.
..See that ID scoundrel running as
| if the Indians were after him. If there
| is anything | hate it is to see soldier
running instead of marching properly.
Here. my man," continued Harvey to
another soldier, Ego after that man and
tell him to walk. ID him''
The second soldier started after the
first, but as the first kept on running,
the second one saw his only chance to
deliver the message was to hurry up, so

Here. sergeant, go after that man
and tell him if he don't stop running I'll

The sergeant started ont on brisk
walk, but as his predecessor had a good
start he, too, began to run as hard as he
could.
..If all the three sconndrels amt run

ney. '.I'll show EN- and tucking his
sword under his arm, he started in pur-
suit as fast as he could run, but sud

to halt and walked stiffly back to the
place where the dress parade was to

TRAFFIC RESUMED.
New York and Philadelphia Again
United by Rail

PHILADELPHIA, March 15.-The re-
sumption of railway traffic between this
city and New York was completed to-
day, and from this time on everything
will probably go as it did before the
great blockade. The clearest evidence
of clear line between the two great
cities was the arrival at Broad Street
station at $40 p. m. Of Train No. IS.
which left Jersey City at S:4S Monday
morning. The passengers on this train
had been laid UP at Milestone Junction
for three days and their expressions of
JOY in reaching this city were loud and
earnest. The PENNSYLVANIA company,
besides sending .out for the New York
mail train, also dispatched two pas
senger trains at 1920 a. m. and at 5
o'clock p. m. After 5 o'clock it was said
that all trains would be run on schedule
time, with the exception of the local
two-hOur trains between this city and
New York, which were not deemed
necessary by the officials. A telegram
was received from the Jersey City office
of the company about noon stating that
thirteen scheduled trains for this after
noon, which comprise all the through
ones, would be started ON time.

THEY ARE STARVING.
Pitiable Plight of Shipwrecked
Men and Women.

NEW HAVEN, March 15.-The steamer
New Haven, of the Old Colony line, left
her dock in this city at 3 o'clock a. m.
Monday, bound for New York. There
were twenty-five passengers On board,
two of whom women. Capt Post was
in command. The storm grew more
furious as the steamer proceeded down
the harbor, and the passengers became
terribly frightened. Capt. Post let go
his anchors ten miles out in the sound.
Huge waves swept over the steamer,
washing away everything movable
above deck The furniture of the cabin
was utterly demolished. The anchors
were kept out until 4 o'clock on
Monday afternoon, when the strain on
the steamer became SO great that the ca
bles were shipped, the captain, deciding
to beach the steamer, it being the only
hope for the safety of those on board.
The engines were kept going and the
steamer struck at about 7o'clOck Mon
day evening on the West Haven shore.
The boats were manned and all hands
were ordered to make for the shore,
which was about 800 yards off. The ter
rlbly frightened passengers huddled into
the boats and made a safe landing. f.
). Barber, the purser of the steamer,
narrowly escaped drowning. lie was
knocked overheard, but his companions
rescued him after desperate efforts. The
real sufferings of the party began after
reaching the shore. The thermometer
was down to zero, and nothing but
deserted summer cottages, mile
off, could be seen. One of these
was reached, the door broken and
the half frozen men carrying the
women in their arms, found temporary
shelter. The bannisterS and staircases
were torn down and fires started. No
food could be obtained. and twelve OF
the strongest men volunteered to brave
the storm and obtain help and food from
the city. They faced the binding, furious
blizzard and escaped with their lives.
They travelled three miles in the heavi-
est part of the great storm. The entire
party was completely Frustrated when
they reached far mhOuse near the city.
Ten of them had their hands and feets
badly frozen that amputation may be
necessary. The other two escaped with
frozen faces and ears. No one would
venture to the relief of the remainder
of the party for fear of losing their lives
They have now been in the deserted
cottage for fifty-siX hours without food,
and their condition must be deplOrable.
A party of men will start for the shore
tomorrow with provisions.

Boston Barred Out.

BOSTON, via London, March 15.-The
storm has now ragged for two days all
over New England, as far as scanty
communications could reach. Every
railroad out of the city is blOckaded
completely, and the only telegraphic
communication is by the Commercial
Cable company's line to Rockport, Me-,
and thence by cable to London. Never
before was there such a complete pros
tration of business, and the damage to
property must amount to an enormous
sum. 1t is fifty years since Boston has
been so affected by a storm. The morn
ing and afternoon papers of Tuesday
were devoid of all Geographic Informal
ton. No trains arrived in the city, and
those which had been sent out were
practically lost. Along the coast a ter
rifle sea was reported, particularly on
the north shore. Every telegraph wire
is down, with the exception of one be-
tween Worcester and South Framing
ham.
