WHITNEY has made good record, and

as naval power vastly beyond all Re-
publican precedent. Uncle SANS blue

record where they have had chance,

PARIS, Jan. 31.-In the chamber of
deputies to-day 81. JOuvencei interpo-
lated the government regarding meas
ures intended to take to arrest the
progress of Boulangism. The speaker
attributed the rampant public opinion
chiefly to the insults that have been
daily heaped upon the government and
to the Indifference Of tue ministers to-.
ward their reyilers. The liberty of the
press and liberty of speech had been
allowed to degenerate into license. The
government ought to derend itself from

chamber M. Cazeaux, men,
Der of the Right. asked leave to
speak on the matter of urgency. The
president refused permission. Fresh
protests from members of the right led
to a scene of great confusion. The
president finally called the members to
order and decided that the house must
hear M. Floquet. When order had been
restored Premier FlOquet said that the
re-establishment of the scrutin d'arron-
basement would not assail universal
suffrage. If the Republican party did
not approve of his policy
HE WOULD RESIGN HIS OFFICE.
The government, he said, was bound
to legislate for the support of the re-
public. lie then asked the chamber for
vote of confidence. M. Paul Cassag-
nae reproached the premier, and ac-
cused him of attacking universal suf-
frage, but said that he would vote to re-
tain the present ministry as the best
means to overthrow the republic. The
sitting of the chamber was then
suspended. When the chamber re-
convened M. Hubbard demanded that
the government proceed against BOu-
hanger with acts, not words. M. FIoquet
replied that it was necessary to combat
the idea of dictatorship. They must
fight it resolutely in legal way, using
fresh weapons if necessary. NJ. de
Montjau declared that it was time to put
an end to Boulangism. B0ulanger ought
to be watched and stopped on his march.
(BoulangiSt) reminded the house that
the BouIangist propaganda was sup
ported by thousands of citizens. Those
citizens, he said, desired an honest re-
public. They desired republic open

to republic governed by parliament
airy clique. 1t was an infamous SANDER
to say that Boulangism was supported
by funds received from abroad. Nj.
Clemenceau held that although Paris
had made demonstration that displayed
its discomfort, no reason existed for
change of government. M. Montjau
then presented this motion: 'That the
house, confident in the firmnesS of the
government, passes to the order of the
cay" The motion was accepted by the
government and adopted by vote of
800 to 200. Gen. Boulanger did not APP
pear in the chamber during the debate.

Great Britain, However, Will
Hardly Accept the Extradition
Treaty in IT'S Disfigured Shape.
Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 31.-The senate
spent four hours more discussing the
British extradilion treaty, and so mOdi-
fed and amended it that there is
strong probability that it will be agreed
to. In fact, the features to which so
many objections have been raised by
the Irish were entirely eliminated to-
day. This action was entirely unex-
pected last evening. If the motion to
recommit the treaty bad been voted On
in the executive session yesterday it
would have been agreed to. A majority
had expressed themselves in favor of
it. The determination of several sena-
tors was changed by argument this
morning. and when. at 2 O'Clock, the
senate went into secret session, the mo-
ton was defeated by vote OF % to 81.

amendments. The committee amend

Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 31.-HiS excellen-
cy, the Persian minister to the United
States this morning received cable
gram dated Teheran from the minister
for foreign affairs, informing him that
the concessions which the Reuter- COM
pany received from the imperial Per-
sian government in 1872, for the con-
struction of railroads in Persia has
lapsed. because Baron Reuter- failed to
carry out the contract within the stipu-
lated time, and his application for re-
newal of the contract has been rejected
by the imperial minister for foreign
affairs. In this connection it may be
proper to state that the concessions are
now open to American companies. and
no doubt the Persian minister will
cheerfully give applicants all informa-
ton on the important franchises pro-
posed to be granted.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 31.-The senate
to-day passed the diplomatic aud con-
sular appropriation bill, the debate on
the Samoan question being the feature
of the proceedings. The credentials of
Mr.. Higgins, as senator from Delaware,
were presented and filed. The presi-
dents messages relating to the Samoan
islands and to Corea were read and re-
ferred. The house amendments to the
bill to increase the pensions of those
who have lost both hands were con-
Cured in. After further morning bust
ness the senate resumed consideration
of the diplomatic and consular apprO-
priatlon bill, the pending question be-
ing on the amendment referring to
Samoa. MI. Reagan offered the amend
ment to insert the words, land for tue
protection of the rights of American
citizens residing in said islands and to
preserve the neutrality and independ-
ence thereof" The amendments were
agreed to without division. The amend
ment raising to the rank of ambassadors
the ministers to England, France. Ger
many and Russia was rejected-yeas 25,
nays %, and the bill was passed. The
credentials of Edward D. Woleott, sena-
tor-elect from the state of Colorado.
were presented and placed on file. At
2 o'clock the senate went into secret
session for the consideration of the
British extradition treaty, and at 6:15
o'clock adjourned.
The first news of the climax reached
in Samoa was conveyed to the senators,
then engaged in discussion of the
Samoan question, by the United Press.
A cable message from London, received
over the United Press. was sent down
to Senator Cockrell. who was presiding.
He called Senator Sherman to read it,
and then Senator Gray. Senator Gray
took the message down to Senator
Reagan, and it was on the representa-
tions contained in it that the Texas
senator withdrew his amendment to the
Samoan clause i'll the consular and dip
Iomatic bill. If this had not been done
the bill would likely not have been dis
posed of to-day.

Republican Senators Will, How
ever, Frame a Substitute for the
Omnibus Bill.
j WASHINGTON. Jan. 31.-The Repub-
lican senators to-day in caucus resumed
the consideration of territorial matters
at the point where the discussion ended
yesterday. To-day's caucus was pro-
ductive of results in the adoption of
the programme that was outlined yes
terday, namely: A resolution to insist
upon the admission as states of North
and South Dakota, Montana and Wash
ington. While it was regarded as eX-
pedient that constitutional conventions
should be called in the two DakOtas to
pass upon the new constitutions, the
Republican senators are resolved that
another vote shall not be required upon
the question of division. There was a
lack of unanimity, however. in re-
gard to New Mexico. which the
house bill proposes to admit on
like terms with the other terri
tories, and senators were not wanting
in support of the adoption of a broad
non-partisan policy which would in
Guide that territory in the benefits to be
the other hand land the argument APP
peared to meet with the approval of a
majority of the senators present., that
owing to to peculairities of the people
of New Mexico, the territory was not
yet fitted for admission. The state
ments contained in the petition from
Albuquerque, against admission. re-
Gently presented to congress. were
quoted with effect in this connection.
The final decision of the caucus was
that the committee on territories should
frame a substitute for the house bill that
should be so broad in policy and fair in
would saddle that body with an unpleas-
ant responsibility to 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 least this session.

The Remains of Prince Rudolph

VIENNA, Jan. 81 An enormous cop
per coffin was sent to Meyerling ON the
same train that conveyed the doc
tors who had been deputed to
inquire into the cause of the
death of the crown prince. The body
was placed in coffin, but when it was
attempted to place the coffin in the
hearse, it was discovered that the
hearSe was too small, and 1T was neceS-
sary to use the hearSe in which the
bodies of pauperS are conveyed, as it
was larger than the one selected. When
the hearse reached Baden nobody
except the mOurnerS following it knew
that it contained the body of Crown
Prince Rudolf. During the honeymoon
of the crown prince and crown princess
they visited Meyerling. The crown
princess was enchanted with the place
and exclaimed to her husband, Il would
like to live here" The crown prince in
reply said, Il would like to die
here" At an early hour this morning
the emperor and empress went to the
room where the crown prince lies and
silently prayed. Later the archdukes,
Albrecht and Rainier, and Archduchess
Elizabeth, cousins of the emperor, Wis
tied the crown princess. Arch
duke Ferdinand Salvador, grand
duke of Tuscany, has arrived
here. The funeral will prob
ably take place Wednesday next. The
chamber at Meyerling, in which the
crown prince died, is furnished in the
simplest manner. The bed is of plain
walnut, and all the other furniture i'm
the room is OF the simplest description.
A portrait of the crown princess
hangs above the writing table,
which is strewn with water
color paintings, drawing books and
two unopened letters. The court
officials made list of all the documents
found in the room and placed the royal
seal upon them. The head of the dead
prince rests upon cushions.
THE FACE Is UNCHANGED.
Court Chaplain Mayer blessed the re-
mains. Prince Leopold, of Bavaria. and
Archduchess Gisela, son-in-law and
daughter of the emperor, arrived here
to-day. The emperor received them at
the railway station with profound emo
ton. The roads from the suburbs of
the city to the Hofburg are thronged
with immense crowds. The city is
universally draped in morning. An
autopsy will be held on the body to-
night, after which the remains will be
embalmed. The period of national
mourning will be three months.

ADMITTING THE TERRITORIES

Senator DAVIS evidently understood
the temper Of the senate with relation
to the admission of the territories when
he wrote to Mr.. MAGINNIs, for our
Washington dispatches this morning
announce that the Republican senator
ial caucus yesterday agreed to pursue
the course the senator outlined in his
letter. There will be no contest in the
senate over the admission of the two
Dakotas, Montana and Washington. but
New Mexico is to be left in the soup, in
order that the Democratic majority in
the house of representatives may have
something to grumble at. The reasons
assigned by the Republican senate for.
excluding New Mexico are mainly ficti-
tious. If Republican senate eight
years ago voted to admit New Mexico,
there is no reason it should not be adj
mitted now. The action of the senate
in this matter is thoroughly incOnsist-
ent, for the only real objection the
senate has to the admission of New
Mexico is Of purely political nature.
1t will give the Democrats two more
senators and another vote in the house.
