The question of restricting debate in the
Senate was Unexpectedly brought to the front
yesterday by the resolution of Mr. Blair, which
directs the Committee on Rules within four
days to present some method by which the
idea of the previous question can be applied to
the proceedings of the Senate. 1t is well
known that the Committee on Rules has had
the matter under consideration for a consider
able time, but for some reason nothing has yet
been done. Mr. Blar's resolution will at least
require some action to be taken, so that the
feeling of the Senators generally on this i'm
portant matter will be made known. The
people are anxious to learn Just what members

AS TOLD BY TWO SURVIVORS
1t Is Believed Her Compass Was
Affected by Iron in the
Reef.

CoRusYA, Oct. 16.-The British gun
boat Lapwing brought the Serpents
survivors TO Corunna to day. An Asso-
ciatod Press correspondent boarded the
Lapwing and held an interview with
one OF the survivors named Burton.
He said when the Serpent struck, the
weather was dirty" but not foggy.
All hands were below except the Off
GERS and watchman. Immediately after
the shock all rushed to deck. a large
boat was lowered, but it was smashed to
pieces and the occupants perishcd. 1t
then became evident 1t would be useless
to lower other boats. An attempt to
throw cable ashore also failed. Mean

coast village, two miles from the scene
of the wreck, whence some of the viii
layers conveyed them 70 Caraminas.

persons were rescued from drowning
and 81 assisted In other ways. The
expenditures were $937O33.
The report says several new vessels
are required for the proper maintenance
Of the service, which is rapidly increas-
ing. Boston, New York, Philadelphia,
Chicago and San Francisco demand new
steamers Of moderate cost to be fur
nishcd at each OF these ports within two
years. to replace vessels nearly worn
out, and not suitable for service.
The greatly Increased work required

erty for the benefit Of his creditors. Tho
discovery OF tho forgerics, which cover n
period OF six years, was accidentally
made on Saturday morning by q clerk
in the employ OF the firm. In CONVERSE
tion Smith says ho used the money to
reimburse customers who had lost money
on his suggestions.
Tho loss resulting from Smiths mis-
doings will fall upon his firm, which has
been In existence since 1872 and which
had been held in tho highest repute.
Smiths plan was simple. lie would
buh eight or nine shares OF first-class
stock, and by adding cipher or letter
''y" raise the order to eighty or ninety
shares. These he deposited with tho
firm as his private account, and thus
mada the partners responsible.
The discovery was accidentally made
by the stock clerk, and Smith then con-
fessed every thing to his partners. Smith
is q prominent churchman and mem
bcr OF several clubs. He is 45 years old
and q childless widower. All the for
gerios ARE not total loss to the firm, as
about one fourth can DO recovered.
The firm has made an assignment to

AT WASHINGTON CITY.
Very Duil-senator Mitchell Expected
Back Soon.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 17.-None of the
northwestern senators or congressman
have yet notified the postofllce at the
capitol to retain the mail here with one
or two exceptions. 1t is quite probable
that none of the senators or representa-
tives in Minnesota or the Dakotas will
return to Washington until q few days
previous TO the assembling of congress.
The capitol is as deserted as it was
four or five days after adjournment and
there Is no sign of the approaching ses-
sion save for the fact that few commit
tee clerks are found In the committee
rooms, who are preparing bills which
have been referred to their respective
committees, and which must receive
early consideration in order TO pass at
the present session.
Senator Mitchell, of Oregon, Is ex-
pected to arrive in Washington in few
days. A man from that state to-day
said that Notwithstanding the fact that
the senator was n candidate for re-elec-
tion, 1t was altogether likely that he
would keep up with his congressional
duties and leave his election to the
members ofthe legislature, which will
meet in January.
There are o number of important
Oregon bills which Senator Mitchell has
fathered. and which he hopes to get
through congress during the short
session. At the capitol postoiiice it was
learned that Senator Mitchell had re-
quested his mail to be retained here.
Senator Dolph and Representative
Hermann have not ordered their mail
sent elsewhere during the short vaca.

The members of the Washington del
egation have not yet notified the post

A FIGHT IN FLORIDA
Caused by a Drunken Mans
Shot.
THREE MEN WERE KILLED
And Several Wounded-The Oper-
ator Compelled to Keep
Quiet.

JACKSONVILLE Fla, Nov. 16.-A very
serious affray occurred yesterday at Rod.
dick, q small town fifteen miles north OF
Ocala.
George Sanders. a white man, crazed
with whisky, went into Hagard's store
and fired shot at Ned Roux, one OF the
clerks employed there. I. T. Williams
and John Friday, standing near, rushed
at Sanders and succeeded in disarming
him. A negro rushed across the street
to Sanders store and told his brother
Bob that two white men were trying to
kill George. Bob seized his gun, rushed
into Hazards store and began firing
right and lett Williams was mortallv
wounded. Another bullet struck the
young negro and he fell dead. Still an
other hit John Friday, but did not make
a serious wound. The last shot struck a
negro woman who came in the rear door
and badly wounded her. During the fir
ing George Sanders escaped and
rushed out when some unknown person
fired load OF fine shot into his face
and head, painfully wounding him. A
minute later Bob Sanders having ex-
hausted his ammunition, started to run
out of the store when some one in the
rear of the store brought him down
fatally wounded with a charge OF buck
shot.
BY this time the whole population,
about $50, was on the streets and the
widest excitement prevailed. The
Sanders faction would not allow the
operator to send any messages out of
town about the matter and nothing was
known of IL elsewhere until sunday
morning. The deputy sheriff then went
from Ocala with posse and arrested
George Sanders, when quiet was re-
stored, and the posse returned this
afternoon.

BONkEY FIRM.
He + ays tho Cannibni Incident Is Cor
rect.

LONDON, Nov. l0.--Bonney vouches
that the log of the rear guard from Yam
buya, published by the Times, is exactly
as he handed It to Stanley, without any
alteration whatever. The section ex-
tending from June II to June 10, which
appears to-day, Is OF no special interest,
except as regards recorded complaints
OF continual desertion. Stanley Zanzi-
bar servants to-day handed a sealed
statement to the Times, New York cor
respondent regarding the cannibal Incl
dent. This statement reaffirms the story
of Jameson paying for a girl with hand
kerchieis, and details at length Major
Bartellot's arrogant and high-handed
actions.
