WASHINGTON, Dec. 1S.-Immediately
after the reading of the journal, today,
the senate proceeded to executive busi-
ness, on motion of Hale.
The secret session lasted but a few
moments, and the senate proceeded to
consideration of the morning business.
Sherman reported bill providing
against the contraction of the currency.
Ordered printed and recommitted.
The elections bill was then taken up,
and Coke addressed the senate in oppo-
sition to it.
The Democratic senators, Coke said,
proposed to have full and free dis
cussion of the bill to the end that
the American people shall be informed
of the startling and radical departure
proposed to be inaugurated in the char
of the political faction that happened to
hold possession OF all the departments
of the government were to be registered
in the statute book without debate, dis
cussion and examination if the rules
anu uSdRCS anu uSblOQS VI pIOCSQuT6
that had for hundred years obtained
in the senate, were to be overthrown,
and neither house of congress to be any
longer deliberative body, it was at
least proper that the fact be proclaimed,
so that the people might pass judgment
on the political party responsible for it.
Cullom next addressed the senate. He
accepted the bill as the best that could
be framed to meet the evils complained
of, with the understanding that he
would favor amendments that met his
appreciation. The duty was imposed
upon the government by the constitu-
tion and by the results of the war to
protect the negro of the south in his
right to cast free ballot and have fair
count. He would be pleased, if possi-
BILE, to trust entirely to the states them
selves to do justice at the elections,
but he felt impelled by a sense
OF duty to give his vote
for the bill, and would do so in an effort
to put stop to lawlessness in the south
ern states. He knew full we'll that the
passage of the bill would give to the
lawless elements at the south an excuse
for mob violence and rebellion against
national authority, but he was sure
such results (hinted at rather than
courageously expressed) would not pre-
vent the bill from being enacted and ap-
proved.
Bate took the floor and opposed the
bill, because he believed it to strike at
the freedom of the ballot, and tended to
breed disturbance and destroy the peace
and quiet of society. He believed it to
be the most prominent of the many fin
ger boards on the political highway
that pointed to an empire. Such legis-
lation in republican government was
at all times dangerous and vicious, and
was especially so at the present time.
The elections bill was then informally
laid aside, and the house amendment
to the senate bill for bridge across the
Willamette river, at Albany, Oregon,
was concurred in. Adjourned.

QUEBEC, Dec. 1S.-The express train
from Halifax on the Inter-colonial rail-
road, due at Lewis, at IL 40 today, met
with a frightful accident about three
miles from its destination. The scene of
the wreck is an embankment at St.
Joseph. The train was running at a
high rate of speed, and after passing St.
Joseph station, the second-class car ap-
peared to have jumped the track on a
curve, and dragged the first-class car
and sleeper with it, and also derailed
the mail car and baggage car ahead of it.
The three passenger cars ran diagonally
along the embankment for two hundred
yards, until the second-class car
struck the western abutment
of bridge. 1t was in this car
that the sacrifice of life occurred.
The front of the car was smashed to
atoms against The The sclid stone ahntment.
The three cars were turned over, the
first-class car being badly shattered.
The sleeper was not so badly smashed
as were the other cars.
The engine, still drawing the baggage
and mail cars, ran on over the bridge.
After passing the bridge, the mail car
went down the embankment, having
turned completely over in its descent.
The engine and the derailed baggage
car continued on, passing over the sec
ond bridge safely, and were brought to
q standstill few hundred yards further
on.
AS soon as the news of the disaster
reached this city. a number OF medical
men crossed the river and went down on
a special train to the scene of disaster,
and rendered efficient aid to the wounded
passengers.
The dead are five in number. Their
names are Dionne, Gauvin, Blaise, Le-
clair and Winler. The latter was the
news agent on board the train. Con
ductor Walker was badly injured, and
very few passengers on the train escaped
without more or less injury. One has
both legs broken; another fracture OF
the skull, and all are cut and bruised !;
but it is impossible at this moment to
get reliable news, or list of the names.

CANADIAN JUSTICE.
Arthur Hoyt Day, Bigamist and Wife
Murderer. Hanged.

WELLAND, Ont, Dec. 1S.-Arthur Hoyt
Day, who murdered his wife by pushing
her over cliff at Niagara falls last July,
was hanged at 01 this morning. The
condemned man walked to the scaffold
firmly and with smile on his face. Day
committed bigamy under the name OF
Arthur Hoyt, and his second wife hav-
ing discovered his real name, it became
necessary for him to decide between the
with his bgamous wife. Day took his
first wife and his sister 10 Niagara falls,
but of the trio only his sister and he
returned. About a week later his second
wife proceeded against him for bigamy,
and his arrest followed. When the trial
commenced, Days sister guided the
detectives to where the body OF his first

high. She testified to her brothers.

IN THE HOUSE.
Farquhar Forces Consideration of the
Shipping Bill.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1S.-During the
morning hour in the house today, the
pending measure was the senate bill
amending the interstate commerce act
by providing for the taking of deposit
tions by notaries public. Passed.
Baker, Of New York, called up, and
the house passed, the senate bill author
izing the town of Albany, Ore., to con-
struct a bridge across the Willamette
river.
Farquhar, chairman OF the com mittee
on merchant marine and fisheries,
moved that the house go into commit
tee of. the whole for consideration of the
senate shipping bill, with the house sub
stitute therefor.
Springer and Fithian positively denied
that the committee had authorized the
motion, and the speaker decided that
Farquhar had not sufficient authority
for it. He recognized Farquhar, how
ever, to make motion that the house
go into committee Of the whole on the
state of the union. This was agreed to
and Burrows took the chair.
Farquhar moved that the house pro.
ceed to consideration of the senate bill
to place the American merchant marine
on an equality with that of other ma
tions.
Springer made the point of order that
the motion was not in order, but the
chairman ruled that it was, and Spring
er's appeal was voted down.
Farquhar's motion was agreed to. In
supporting the shipping bill, he ex-
pressed regret that any member should
refer to it as "job," (this referring to q
remark by Blount.) No corporation or
organization got one dollar out of the
measure, to which it was not fairly en-
titled.
Outhwaite asked how much the
Pacific Mail Steamship company would
receive the first year after the passage Of
the bill.
Farpuhar referred him to the testi-
mony taken by the committee.
Outhwaite further asked whether the
gentleman could account for the rise in
the value of Pacific Mail stock yesterday,
it being understood that this bill would
be called up today.
Farquhar-Not being interested in Pa
cific Mail. as some Ohio men are, dc
not know anything about it.
Farquhar advocated the bill at length,
and pending further discussion, the
committee rose and the house adjourned

BERLIN, Dec. Is. Empress Augusta
Victoria has given birth to son. En-
peror William attended the performance
of Tannhauser at the opera house last
night. During the opera his majesty
was handed note which announced
the accouchment of the empress. The
emperor hurriedly took his departure
for the palace. The reason for
his abrupt exit was communicated
to the manager Of the opera
house, and he at once went upon the
stage and announced to the audience
that the empress had given birth to a
son. The announcement was received
with the greatest enthusiasm, the
audience rising to their feet, hurrahine
and shouting: "Long live the emperor
and empress!" The orchestra played
the national anthem, the audience sing

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, Dec. 18.-The coal

turn that threatens to close every in
dustry in the district. The Amalgamated
association of iron and steel workers
has passed resolutions of sympathy, and
pledge support to the strikers. They
agree to refuse to work with coal mined
by convict or scab miners, if the strikers
ask them to do 30. Pat Mcbride, Of the

CnIcAGo, July 3.-The dock labor
ers' strike Is on and the strikers are
having rather the better of It. From
1O0 men who struck four nights ago on
one line-the Lehigh Valley-the strike
has spread until 1000 men and five
transportation lines are now involved.
The odd feature Of the strike Is the fact
that the strikers are entirely unorgan-
lied. They have no union, but are
simply pulling together from sheer
force Of common interest Their work
is so arduous that men unaccustomed
to the work would be soon disabled by
II, and hence the probability of re-
placing the strikers by new men at the
prices offered Is very slim.

that prevailed at Purvis about a year

said, with a tragic emphasis in his tone,

Mr. Allen looked relieved, but
whether at the escape from a possible
licking, or at being relieved from the
further necessity Of speaking to Mr.
Davidson doesn't appear.
