WASHINGTON, Jan. 3l.-The caucus
of Republican senators to-day was pro-
ductive of results in the adoption of a res
olution insisting upon the admission as
states of North and South Dakota, Mon
tana and Washington. While it was re-
garded as expedient that constitutional
conventions should be called in the tw o
Dakotas to pass upon the new constitu-
tons, the senators are resolved that an
other vote will not be necessary upon the
question Of division. There was a lack of
unanimlty. however, in regard to New
Mexico. The senators We're not wanting
in support of the adoption of a non parti-
san policy, which would include that ter
rltory. 1t was urged, on the other hand,
owing to the peculiarities of the people,
that New Mexico was not yet fitted for
admission. The statements contained in
the petition from Albuquerque against ad-
mission recently presented to congress,
were quoted with eiIectin this connection.
The final decision of the caucus was that
the committee on territories should frame
a substitute for the house bill; that its re-
lection by the house would saddle that
body with unpleasant responsibility to the
people of the West. When this bill is
made up it will be pushed through the
senate with expedition as it is the desire
to reach the conference stage at the earli,
est season.

Washington Notes.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 3I.-The Post to-
morrow will print the following: "A pri-
vate cablegram received at Washington
last night that the German
government has ordered a military at
tache named Lieut.. Richardson to re-
port here at once to the German minister.
His business. 1t is announced, is to in
vestigate and report to the war depart
ment everything of interest concerning
the American army and navy fortiica-
tons, equipments, etc.
1t is said the president will send another
message to congress in a few days con-
tanning the latest official information on
the Samoan subject.
The president sent to the senate to day
the following nominations: Jesse j
Abrahams of Virginia to be comptroller
of the currency, vice Trenholm, resigned;
Col Jas, G. Breckenridge, to be in
spector general with the rank of brigadier

Hot Debate in the French Chamber.

PARIS, Jan. 3l.-In the chamber to
day J~ouvcncal interpolated the govern
ment regarding the measures it intended
to take to arrest the progress of Boulang-
erism. The government ought to defend
itself from the attacks of slanderers.
Premier Floquet, before replying, asked
leave to introduce a bill re establishing the
scrutln d reimbursement system of cleo
ton. Deputy d'Ornao, Bonapartist,
claimed that the only possible issue is the
dissolution of the chamber. Cazzaux,
member OF the right, asked leave to speak
on the matter OF urgency. The president
decided that the house must hear Floquet,
when great confusion ensued.
Floquet held that the establishment of
the scrutin Acknowledgement system would
in no way assail universal suffrage. TIE
government did not think the measure
ought to be taken against the liberty
of the press, but they were bound to leg
islate against those seeking TO o~verturn
the republic. . The existing laws dealing
with hostile combinations were made
quate. The government would propose
fresh measur, for the repression of at
trmpts against the security of the state.
Universal system had succumbed to all
sorts of commercial combinations through
syndicates operating through paid bands
of a%gitators.
Cassagnac rcproached Floquet with at
lacking universal suffrage. Universal
suffrage commands, and it must be
obeyed. Dissolution had practically been
made a test word.
Hubbard demanded that the govern
ment proceed against Boulanger with acts
not words. Floquet replied it was neces-
sary.
After a prolonged and animated debate
Montaut presented a motion that the
house was confident in the irmness of the
government and pass to the order of the
day. The motion was accepted by the
government and adopted, 300 to 200.
Boulanger did not appear in the chamber
during the debate.

That sets the naked branches a-quivering,
is not felt by the wealthy valetudinarian
indoors, but not all the covering that can
be piled on his warm bed, nor all the fur
mace heat hat anthracite can furnish, will
warm his marrow when chills and fever
runs its icy fingers along his spinal
column. Hostctter's Stomach Bitters is
the thing to infuse new warmth into his
chilled and anguish frame, to remedy the
fierce fever and exhausting sweats which
alternate with the chill. Dumb ague,
ague cake, bilious remittent-in short,
every known form of malarial disease is
~subiupated by this potent, and at the
the same time, wholesome and genial
medicine. Biliousness, constipation,
dyspepsia, sick headaches, loss of appe-
tite and sleep, kidney trouble, rheuma.
tism and debility are also remcdied by it.
Use 1t with persistence to effect a thorough
cure.

Talk with secretary sayard.

WASHINGTON Jan. 81. - Secretary
Bayard was t~hitragbning shown the dis
patch from Auckland stating hat Ger
many had given notice that vessels arriv-
ing at Samoa would be searched for con
traband goods. lie said the department
Blackjack stating that war had been de-
clared against Mataaia and martial law
proclaimed by the German consul at Apia.
He did not know whether martial law re-
ferred to and included all Samoa or only
Apia- Reference was made to the criti-
cism of the department of state and the
secretary said:
Il would like the gentleman who has
been criticising everything done by the
state department to show one instance in
which | have broken the law or permitted
it to be violated. don't know of such
instance. There has been a great deal OF
misrepresentation and IN time my coun-
trvmeu will see that the state department
has done everything hat could be done.
L have yet u learn of any American hav-
ing been injured or any of their rights as
defined by law and the treaty taken away.
Our policy has been fixed and steady in
the direction and preservation OF Ameri-
can rights. The German government has
constantly given assurance that Germany
would not violate American rights. The
department. said the secretary, cannot
stop the fighting in Samoa. We cannot
prevent rival commercial companies quar-.
reling and fighting. 1t is not for us to
try and give every country a stable gov
eminent"
A gentleman well acquainted with Sa-
moan affairs said to night that matters
had reached a serious state and
would not be surprised were a
conflict to take place between Ger
many and Americans. The natives have
beaten the Germans repeatedly and az
cording to the Auckland dispatch Ger
many now proposes to whip them by pre-.
venting arms being sent in. Newspapers
read by Americans have been suppressed
and the Germans have control of the po-
lice Mt ADia. American residents con-
tributed to the fu.Id for the support of
the municipal police and it was bad enough
to have them under the direction of
Tamasese, but under German control it
was infinitely worse. He said it might
appear unusual and a bold thing for us to
say that we would protect the I~ndepend-
ence OF a country so far away, but our
national honor and our obligations re-
quired that we should come to it.
, 1889-02-01

Mataafa's followers number 6,OOO. They
are strongly entrenched and other SamO-
ans are rapidly joining them. Upon the
arrival of the steamer Richmond she was
boarded and searched by Germans.
"Of course" Frye continued, II do
not know whether the statements in this
three assertions are made by the Germans
in Samoa. One is the right to search
American vessels going into the harbor of
a nation with which we are in treaty re-
%lations, the second is the suppression of
free speech. Another is the assuming
control of the police of the Apia munich
pality, which by agreement between Ger
many, England and the United States and
the Samoan king, was made neutral
ground.
Regan-''In view of the remarks of
the senator from Maine (Mr. Frye, who
is a member OF abe committee on foreign
relations, that it would be perhaps best to
let the amendments pass as reported, and
in view of the fact that matters are very
rapidly assuming such Il shape that we
shall probably have the question before us
in another form very soon, | withdraw
my amendment.
Hale EXPRESSED the belief that German
interference IN Samoa had been the direct
act of the German government and in
pursuance of a settled policy on the part
of that government. The amendments
were then agreed to without division.
The amendment raising to the AMI of
ambassador ministers to England, France,
Germany and Russia was rejected yes
25: nays 20, and the bill was passed.
The credentials of Edward o. WOlcott,
senator elect from Colorado, were pre-
scented aud placed on file. The senate
then proceeded to executive business on
the British %exrradition treaty. The SEN
ate spent four hours in consideration of
the treaty, but adjourned, leaving it still

OUR WOMEN WORKERS.
Interesting Figures Regarding Their
Waves and Conditions.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 3l.-Commissioner
Wright of the department of labor has
submitted a report which relates entirely
to the subject of working women in the
great cities. Three hundred and forty
two distinct industries in twenty two rep
resentative cities have been investigated.
The report shows that the working
women III the great cities are practically
girls. The average age in all cities com
pretended is % years and 7 months. The
average period during which women
have been engaged in their presant occu
patton is shown to have been four years
and nine months aud of l6.427 women in
volved $40 are engaged in the first trial at
earning their own living. Of the whole
number IA, 40 are native born. In the
foreign born Ireland is the most largely
represented and Germany next. The
great majority of the women are single
selves, but are giving their earnings
largely to the support of others at home.
The report shows that of 1895 who
reported their conditions at the time they
commenced work, l6, 800 were in good
health, 1888 In fair health and 1873 in bad
health. The changes of health condition
are illustrated by the TACT that IA. 554 are
now in good health, 2,345 are in fair
health and 4S9 are in bad health.
The average weekly earnings by cities
show San Francisco the highest, with
S59i, and Richmond, Va, the lowest.
1898. The average weekly wages, com
putting all cities examined, is 1924.

THE NEW YORK STRIKE.
Matters Assuming a Very Ser
ious Aspect.
Several ARRAYS With the Po-
lice and Revolvers Used.
The Officers Ordered to Shoot
to Kill"

New YORK, Jan. 3l.-Nearly all the
street car lines in the city this morning
resumed running cars, many Of them
running considerable numbers. Some of
the strikers are lighting drunk and
serious trouble is anticipated before night.
Squads of militia are guarding the state
arsenal and the second battery, where
gattling guns are stationed to guard
against a rumored attack contemplated by
the strikers to secure arms and ammuni-
ton.
Inspector Williams has ordered the
police in case they ase attacked by strik
ers to shootto kill. A thousand strikers
have congregated this afternoon near the
stables of the Belt Line. They have
erected barriers across the track and swear
that no car will be allowed to run.
Trouble is believed to be imminent, and
the police re serves have been ordered to
concentrate here.
At 2 o o'clock the mob neal the Belt
Line stables increased to 1900. They
are reported to be tearing up the track on
Fifty-seventh street. The police are pre-
pairing to charge them, and there is likely
to be serious trouble.
Late in the afternoon the Belt road
near Tenth avenue was blocked with loads
of sa1 nd and stones and great crowds of
strikers co~ngregated. Stones we're thrown
and the situation was becoming very seri-
Gus when Inspector Steers ordered the
police to charge with clubs to dispense the
crowd. This was done and the crowd soon
dispersed, many Of them with sore heads
and bodies. During this affray the strik-
ers opened fire with revolvers, which was
returned by the police and one of the
strikers was seriously wounded. Later
the mob dumped a trnck on the track in
Seventh avenue. Officer Lynch seized
the leader and started to the station, when
the crowd made a rush to rescue him and
knocked the officer down.
Another officer came to the rescue and
a serious fight eDsued, during which a
number of shots were fred. One of The
bullets struck the prisoner in the leg, in
ficting a serious wound. Reinforcements
then came up and dispersed the crowd.
Two officers were seriously injured.
Several other minor ARRAYS occurred at
different points. Many of the strikers
were dubbed and several arrested. The
police commissioners are holding a con-
ference with Superintendent Murphy.
Superintendent White of the dry dock
line informed the police that he had in
formations that the strikers would attempt
to fire the stables tonight and in conse-
quence a large force is on duty there.

l.amy people iniagiuc that the uni

mistake; they never were so, and i'll
these days, when they provide FOR the
teaching Ola crowd of subjects which
Il hundred years ago lay practically or
wholly outside university education,
they have TO observe the strictest o

Cambridge, where the university is
sadly crippled in diseharging its pro

There are scarcely any public lecture

The Dead Prince.

VIENNA, Jan 3l.-The body OF the
prince arrived on a special royal train
from Baden this afternoon. The large
crowds at the station and along the route
to Hotfburg DOTTED their hats ana showed
every remark of deepest respect. The
coffin was draped in velvet aud EN-
broidered with q gold cross. The bier
was drawn by six horses, followed by
Prince Hohenlahe ~Schillingfurst, grand
master Of the imperial household. The
chaplain and other officers with guards
were on each side. The remains were
taken to the home aud into the apartment
of the deceased in Hof burg. The papers
all print mourning editions extolling the
princes virtues.
