ceeded to explain in detail the scope and
purpose of each Of the rules.
The reading Of tho new code con.
sumed a treat deal Of time. It was read
in ertenso, and as each rule was read its
provisions were explained by Mr.. Nc.
kinley or Mr.. Cannon. There were in.
quirles for more detailed information as
to the effect Of changes and for the rea.
sons therefor, so that the work Of the
caucus progressed slowly. iti5j
Generally the report OF the committee
was adopted without material amend.
ment, but there was at least one impor.
tant addition, viz, pension legis)a' ion

MANY LOOMS IDLE,

Serious Depression OF Trade In Great
Britain.
MANCHESTER, Feb. 5.-The Guardian
in its commercial article, says: The
absence OF a flow OF business for 1890 is
markedly affecting some departments,
and come manufacturers arc inclined Ia
either stop their machinery or shorten
the hours Of labor. The looms Of q
number Of producers Of dhoolies and
India goods are idle, while other pro.
ducers have just sufficient orders to pre-.
vent s.oppage. Much OF the produc.
tlon is under engagement. Orders are
lessening.
The high rate Of discount is checking
business, and unless relief is soon
afforded 1t is feared the distribution
will be seriously interiered with. This
is already the case iu India, as result
OF the lightness OF money there. There
is little demand for China. There are
moderate orders for Egypt, Brazil and
the other minor markets. The demand
for the Argentine Republic il scanty.
There is fair home trade. The in
quiry tor export yarns is slow. Orders
for medium and low grades are sought.
Printers, finishing and heavy goods are
fairly steady. The sales are moderate.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 5.-The case OF
George W. Atkinson vs. John O. Pendle.
ton, ofthe First West Virginia district,
will be the next contest to claim the at-
tention Of the House. Chairman Rowcll,
Of the Elections Committee, has about
completed his report, and after it has
been passed upon by the committee will
be submitted to TIE House. In this case
as tlagrant injustice was done to the con-
testant as was done to Smith in the case
just passed upon, but tue circumstances
were little different. In the Smith
case the returns were doctored by Gov
ernor Wilson, while in the Atkinson
case the returns were doctorcd before
they reached the Governor.
Chairman Rowell in his report will
take the ground that but for the We,zel
county frauds the present contest would
never have taken place. The contestant
would have obtained his certificate, to
which the uncorrupted official returns
would have shown him to be entitled,
and the cases Of individual illegal vot.
ing, to which SO much Of the evidence
on both sides is devoted, would have re-
mained hidden in their own obscurity.
But the fraud in Wezel county not
only brought about change in the ap.
parent result, but made it the patriotic
duty OF the contestant to Illustrate the
fraud by bringing his case before Con.
gress: After long period, during
which West Virginia was overwhelming.
ly Democratic, the recent elections had
so reduced the Democratic majarities as
to give the Republicans reasonable hope
Of carrying the State.
The campaign Of 1880 was consequent
ly prosecuted with extraordinary viyor
and earnestness by both parties; by the
Republicans to accomplish, and by the
Democrats to prevent a change OF politi.
cal supremacy in ths State. The vote
upon State officers, and upon all OF the
four congressman to be elected, was so
close that contest resulted for the Office
Of Governor, aud the canvassing OF the
votes by the County Courts was ncces-
sary before the results could be ascer-
tained. AS this canvassing Of the votes
in the various counties Of the First Con.
greesional District progressed, the slight
changes wrought here and there by the
canvass gave first one then the other OF
the opposing candidates an apparen,
plurality and the assurance OF victory,
Under these circumstances the canvass
IN Wetzel county was protracted from
DAY to day, and the opportunity was
offered and accepted to accomplish q
great wrong by producing what seemed
like trlfing changes from the re.
suits arrived at by the election
officers. Tho conspirators, whoever
they may have been, waited until they
could see how little would be sutli
cient, and then provided what wa.
necessary,

came in from Charleston tonight. His
presence while not generally known as
yet tends to give additional strength 10
the rumors which have gained currency
since the terrible calamity in Secretary
Tracy's family. These rumors are to the
effect that Secretary Tracy will certainly
resign his portfolio at an early date, and
that General Golf will succeed him in
Office. It Is understood that Secretary
Tracy desires to leave Washington as
soon as possible, and public opinion has
at once settled on GoF as the coming
head Of the Navy. The General could
not be seen tonight to obtain denial
Or veriiieation Of the report.

l bridges Sons.
LONDON, Feb. 5.-It is regarded MS GER
tain that the bill to legitimatizc the
three sons Of the Duke Of Cambridge
will soon come up in Parliament, and
club men are offering odds that il will
pass. This will be viewed in the light
OF a graceful compliment to the Com
mander-in-Chief OF Her Majesty's forces
on the occasion OF his retirement from
the exalted position which he has held
so long.
A silent Thanksgiving will 20 up from
tho officers OF the army who have suf-
fered, many Of them for the better part
OF a lifetime, from the pig-headed OBJ
stinacy and whimsicalities OF the auto
cratic Duke, against whose fiat as Tho
Queens near relative there was no an.
peal. While in active operations tic
officers were freed from lis meddlinp.
greatly TO their relief, but at home
they lived in constant dread OF his
orders, Issued almost daily, and often
hopelessly contradictory in their nature.
He was particularly strong in regard
to uniforms, rs the poorer officers knew
10 their cost, and some OF his pet de-
signs were 80 astounding that Cabinet
Ministers have several times been COM
PEELED to interfere to prevent their
adoption. -
The SONS, if Parliament in its wisdom
shall declare them legitimate, viii be-
nominally princes OF the blood, and it il
understood that the Prince of Wales and
his brethren, whose status is so assured.
are not averse to their recognition.
There will be more or less bitter opposi.
ton from the left wing of Parliament, In
the course OF which some. disaprerable
truths will be told, but it is a fact that.
some OF tho radicals are in favor Of prac.
tically cheapening royalty. -s

Mr.. Valentine Heiman, for very prcui-

course, carried to the crcmatory rs they
would be to the cemetary, in collins. At
the crematory the bodies are removed
from the casket and it was the under
standing that the caskets were broken
up and burned. Recently it has been
discovered that instead OF burning them
the thrifty superintendent has sold them,
some times rs low as one dollar each, TO
thrifty village undertakers. Hence his
arrest and discharge.

I have made thorough examination

"The building was heated by low pres

there is no evidence that the Ere origi.

it is possible that this may have been
