In transpires that Lieutenant
Parker, the naval attache ofthe Sa-
moan commissions, is also q relative
Of the President, being a nephew-in
law Of Harrison. That is to say,
the lieutenant wife's mother is a
sister to Mrs. Harrison. We may
imagine from this that the Presi-
dent has about reached the extreme
limit OF his own and his wife . rela-
tives, and that the chief executive
will soon be forced to bestow some
Of the public Offices on American
citizens, who are not connected with

The Letter Read in all the Catholic
Churches of New York.
New York, Feb. 17-In all the Catho-
lie churches of this city to-day the encycli-
cal letter of his holiness, Pope Leo, XIII.
was read The letter is written on the 5Oth
anniversary Of Pope Leo's priesthood
and the 18th Of his pontihcate. He
speaks Of the confidence placed in
the apostolic see, and says that in
every land where the Catholic re-
lpion hourishes the Roman church is
duly reverenced and honored with fervent
love and sovereign harmony. "We have
many times the letter says, "as in duty
bound, undertaken the defense Of the truth,
and have strlven to expound particularly
those doctrines which seem to be most use
full of all, so that, knowing the truth,
every one by watchfulness and attention
might avoid the residential breath of
errors. As for public schools, there is no
ecclesiastical aut ority left in them, and
in the wears when it is most fitting for ten
der minds to be trained carefully in christ
ian virtue the precepts of religion are for
the most part unheard. Many now
adays seek to learn by aid
Of reason alone, laying the di-
vine truth entirely aside; teaching
for instance that matter alone exists in the
world and that beasts have the same origin
and like nature. There are some indeed
who go so far as to doubt the existence of
God, the ruler and maker of the world, or
who err most grievously as to the nature OF
God Hence the very nature and form of
virtue. Justice and duty are Of necessity

CONGRESS ON THE JUMP.
THE APPROPRIATION BILLS TO BE
RUSHED.

All of Them Sure to be Acted Upon
before Adjournment-Th Present
Position-The Agreement on the Di-
rect Tax Bill and the Amounts Called
for by the Appropriation Bills VIII
Wipe Out the Surplus.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 17.-The present in
dications point to a week Of business activ-
ity in the Senate. Mr. Hale will to-mor-
row call up his census bill, with the amend
ments recommended by the committee and
heretofore outlined in these dispatches. Tc-
morrow is, also, the day assigned for the
presentation to congress by Senator Palmer,
on behalf of the state of Michigan, of
bronze statue of Lewis Cass, now standing
yelled in Statuary hall. His speech will be
followed by remarks from Senator Chand-
Ter of New Hampshire, Cass' native state,
and by Senators Pugh and Morgan, who
served in public life with him.
sUNDRY CIVIL APPROPRIATIONS.
After weeks hard work the sub-com-

priation bill have completed 1t for Submis-

ing, and probably to the Senate during the
The committee amendments make large
increase over the amount appropriated by
the House.
Chairman Allison expects that the entire
week after Monday will be occupied by
consideration of the appropriation bils.
These measures are fairly well advanced
for this period Of a short session. The dip
matte and consular and military academy
bills have passed both houses and have gone
to the President.
IN CONFERENCE.
The District of Columbia, fortification,
legislative and pension bills are in confer
ence The naval bill is before the House
committee on appropriations with the Sen
ate amendments. The sundry civil, army
and agricultural bills have passed the House
and are before the Senate committee The
Indian, postotiice, deficiency, and river and
harbOr bills have been reported to the
House and are still on the calendar.
ALL WILDE PASSED.
All these bills will undoubtedly get
through before the session closes, except,
possibly, the deficiency bill. If they become
laws in anything like the shape given them
by the Senate, they Will go far towards dis
posing of one argument for an extra session
of congress tais spring.
The agreement upon the direct tax bill
wipes out about 10000 900 Of the surplus,
and the appropriations that seem to be
agreed upon as necessary, will practically
absorb the balance for the coming year, in
the opinion OF those who have made a study
Of the bills.
AN EXTRA SESSION LESS PROBABLE.
In the past week there has been decided
change Of sentiment on the ques ion of an
extra session, and among senators, at least,
the conviction now is quite general that an
extra session will not be called before
October-if at all
One or two reports of conference com
mittees upon appropriation bills are likely
to come in this week, where the differences
bet .yeen the houses are small, as is the case
on the pension and legislative appropria-
ton bills.
Discussion Of the Texas election report
may be continued to fill up the time that
the appropriation committee cannot occupy.
This exhausts the list of probabilities.

CANADA's FISHERIES.
Blaine Will Induce Harrison to Inaug
urate Retaliation.


WASHINGTON, Feb. 17.-One Of the first
problems which the new administration will
have to face will be the question of our
maritime relations with Canada precipi-
tated by the failure of tie Senate to ratify
the Bayard- Chamberlain treaty, and by the
practical termination of the mOduS Utrcndl
10y the Canadian government. The de
partment of state has been notified
by our consular representatives in Canada
that the Canadian authorities will issue no
more licenses to our fishing vessels under
the moduS UiUendi, but viii fall back on
the stipulations of the treaty of 1878, shut
ting out our fishing vessels from Canadian
ports, except in four cases of distress.
WHAT BLAINE WILL DO.
1t can be definitely stated now that if Mr..
Blaine is Secretary of State he will see that
the demands which the New England re-
pubhcans have been making on the Presl-
dent for to years are granted, and that
President Harrison will issue procama-
ton under the law especially passed tor this
purpose two years ago declaring that by way
Of retaliation Canadian fishing vessels shall
be shut out from ports except for the four
purposes mentioned in the treaty of 1918
This, the New England republicans in con-
gress think, will bring the Canadians to see
the wisdom Of a new treaty be
tween the United States and
Great Britain, which will give the United
States all the rights we claim for our fish
ing vessels in Canadian ports in return for
similar rights to be accorded Canadian and
other British fishing vessels.

CRIMES OF a DAY THAT MADE
COMMUNITIES SHUDDER.

A Double Murder Near Bainbridge-
A Man in Good circumstance Ex-
terminates His Family - A Darien
Negro Tries to Kill Foe and Dodge
the Police.
BAINBRrDGE, GA, Feb. 17-Early yes
terday morning a most dastardly assassina-
tion was committed on the west side Of the
Flint river, in this county, Amos jackson
(colored) and his 9-year-old daughter being
the victims Aleck Henderson, a colored
man, has been arrested by Sheriff Patterson
as the perpetrator of the crime and is
in jail here. Bad feeling has existed for
some time between Jackson and Henderson,
and the climax was reached day before yes
terday when Henderson allowed the fire to
burn down certain fences over which
Jackson had control. This re
suited in some words between
them. Some time ago Henderson purchased
q Winchester rifle OF which he was very
proud, and he seemed desirous of testing
its efficacy upon some human being, and 50
expressed himself here some days ago.
THE CRIME.
Yesterday about daybreak Jackson, &C
companied by his daughter, went to his fish
basket near the mouth of Spring creek on
the river Two shots were fired " hich the
people in that neighborhood distinctly
heard, and jackson and his daughter not
coming back at their usual time, search
was made At the landing of the
tateau was found blood and unmis-
taxable signs of foul play. The
shells of Winchester rifle were found on
the spot and it is presumed that jackson
was killed in the boat and the girl on the
bank, as the mud on the bank showed traces
Il her body having been dragged into the
river. The evidence was considered sutil-
cient to warrant the arrest Of Henderson
and at this writing the river Is being
dragged for the bodies.

A Writ of Error to the Supreme Court
Granted Morton, Bliss 81 Co.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 17.-In the case of
Morton, Bliss & Co, against Roberts, auditor
of the state of North Carolina, an action on
bonds issued by the state and subsequently
repudiated, Judge Bond of the United States
circuit court has, on the petition Of the
counsel for the plaintiffs, granted writ of
error to the supreme court of the United
States. This case is in some respects similar
to the other state bond cases from the North
Carolina and Louisiana circuits, and which
are now pending before the United States
supreme court, but were passed when
reached on the regular call until the full
court is sitting, for the reason that they
raise a constitutional question for decision,
on line upon which the court has been for
some time nearly evenly divided.

In the House.


The present week promises to be one of
interest in the House, and will probably be
ushered in by a day of filibustering on
Suspension Monday" MIR. Outhwaite of
Ohio, chairman of the committee on Pacific
railroads, stands ready to offer, under a
suspension of the rules, resolution fixing
an early day for consideration of the Union
Pacific funding bill, but he expects TO be
met with the same unrelenting opposition
which he has encountered on similar occa-
sions in the past. Messrs. Payson of Hi
nols, Anderson of Kansas, and Anderson of
Iowa have in their desks an assortment of
time-worn measures, which, having died of
inanition in various committee pigeon
holes, will be resurrected and introduced
under the call Of the states, in order that
their reading may consume the day, and
prevent Mr. Cultivate from accomplish
ing his purpose.
THE FIGHT ON THE TARIFF BILL.
Mr.. Mills has signiied his intention OF
calling up on Tuesday the resolution re-
ported from the committee on ways and
means declaring that the Senate has no
constitutional right to originate a tax bill
under the guise of a substitute for a House
bill. This will undoubtedly give rise to de
bate, in which the constitutional question
will be made subordinate to the question Of
the comparative merits Of the Mills bill
and the Senate substitute. Dependent on
the outcome Of this debate, and the vote
which will follow it, is the question whether
OF not the Mills bill will remain upon the
calendar as the first barrier to be encoun-
tered by the friends of the COwles bill,
when on Wednesday or Thursday, Mr..
Randall will ask the House to go into com
mittee of the whole for the consideration OF
revenue bills.
TWO MORE OBSTACLES.
Should this barrier remain on the calen-
dar aud be successfully surmounted, two
more obstacles will still have to be removed
or overcome before the Cowles bill can be
reached These are the measures now known
as the McMillin aud Breckenridge bills,
which have been reported from the com
mttee on ways and means for the purpose
Of placing in the hands Of that committee
weapons with which to cope with the com
mittee on appropriations. The advocates
Of tue Cowles bill, however, are confident
Of their ability TO defeat the ways and means

election case during the week, but In view
Of the necessity Of the immediate passage OF

MELINE's HARD TASK.
Prominent Frenchmen Fight Shy of
Places in the New Cabinet.

Places in the new OaDlneG.
PARIS, Feb I'm. Meline is experiencing
great difficulty in forming a cabinet. NJ.
Waldeck Rousseau and other prominent
men have refused to join it. M. dc Freyci-
net prefers the war portfolio, but on persua-
sion of President Carnot has given half a
promise to accept the foreign portfolio. NJ.
Rouvier takes the interior portfolio The
other portfolios are tentatively arranged,
but the list is not likely to be settled until
tomorrow. Senator Ernest Boulanger is
mentioned as mini ster of finance.
The exposition officials have presented a
memorial to President Carnot, praying for
political truce in the interests of the ex
hibition.
A RADICAL MANIFESTO.
A radical manifesto has been finally
agreed to and issued. 1t is mainly devoted
to denunciation OF Gen. Boulanger, who, it
says, did not hesitate to oppose his own
programme of revision in order to over
throw the republican ministry. The mani
festo then says that the Boulangists are not
afraid to paralyze business and menace the
success Of the exhibition by placing their
hatred of the republic and their personal
ambition above the highest Interests Of the
country.
The only positive adhesions which M.
Meline has received are those of M. Rouvier
for the ministry of the interior, NJ. Perrier
fer the ministry of education and Nj.
Dautresme for the ministry of public works
or commerce. 1t is hoped that Gen. BilIot
will take the war portfolio and NJ. Rlbot
some other, but both opportunists and
radicals are refusing to join in anticipation
Of short life for the new cabinet.
