The Apporti.nment Bill.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 16.-Dunnell of Min
nesota called up. in the house to-day as a
privileged question, the apportionment bill,
and briefly explained its provisions. The
bill appeared, he said, in response to the
requirements of the constitution, and was
based upon the eleventh census, which
showed a gratifying increase in the popu-
lation Of the United States. There was q
diversity of opinion among the members of
the house as to whether the present repre-
sentati0n should stand or whether it should
be increased. Some difference of opinion
had also. been shown in the committee, but
it had finally been decided to accept 1855 as
the proper number. This number had been
selected because it had been found to be
the number first reached between 1872 and
375 that would secure to every state at
least its present representation. With S56
members, the rate Of population would be
171,9O1. II the present representation were
gained, many states would lose one or
more members. Dunnell said he would
call for the previous question at S o'clock.
The hour of S o'clock having arrived, Dun
nell demanded the previous question.

hats and 0verc0ats and left the hall, show
Ing a disposition to break the quorum on
the next vote. The motion to adjourn was
lost-yeas 118, nays l45. At the sugges-
ton of BlOunt of Georgia, it vas agreed
that after two hours debate tomorrow the
previous question should be considered as
ordered and the house adjourned.

The Labor Federation.

DETROIT, Dec. 13.-In the American
Federation Of Labor convention to-day.
Chairman Foster, of the special committee
on the eight-hour day, reported that they
re-affirmed the idea of an eight-hour day;
that the campaign adopted in 1890 be fol-
lowed, and that the Federation assess
unions two cents per week per capita for
five weeks to procure funds. They left .
choice of unions to the executive commit
tee, but recommended the coal miners a.
the proper people to follow the carpenters.
After some further debate, the COMMITTEES
retired for conferences and. shortly after
reported in favor Of the coal miners to lead
the eight-hour fight. BY unanimous vote
they adopted the report. A delegate took
occasion to remark that the miners fight
would hot be like that of the carpenters:
the iron and steel workers would be affect
ed and also the engineers. Something
might be done by those trades. not In the
wav of money, but in other WAYS. Dele
gate PrOsser said the iron and steel work
ers were ready to 20 out with the miners.
On the adoption Of the amended c0nstitu-
ton, the convention proceeded to fix the
salaries. After the convention got in and
out Of a parliamentary snarl, they fixed the
salaries at the present figures. The con-
ventiOn then went into executive session
on the question of bOycOtts.

A Shocking Accident.

BRISTOL, Pa, Dec. ia shocking acct
dent occurred at the Mill street railway
crossing this afternoon by which four per-
sons we're killed, one fatally wounded and
one seriously hurt. The accident was
caused by the safety gates at the crossing
being raised just before the New York
west-bound express was due. A number
Of persons had been waiting for q freight
train to pass, and as o o Is the gates were
raised, started to cross. John McIlvain. a
teamster, started across with his wagon, in
which were his ~13.year-0ld son, Neal Nc
Twain, Joseph Hussey, about the same age,
Hugh Dever, a stOrekeeper on Pine street,
and John McGee,. about Is years old. The
express train, which was running at full
speed, struck the wagon, instantly
killing Neal McIlvain, Joseph Hussey
and Hugh Dever. John McIlvain
had his shoulder and leg broken,
ribs crushed and was otherwise internally
injured. He Is not expected to live. Two
boys were struck with such force that
they were thrown into the canal. Joseph
Johnson. who was crossing the track on
foot, was also struck BY the engine and in
stantly killed. John MCGEE, who was also
in the wagon, was badly injured. The
gatekeeper claims that the clatter Of
freight train passing drowned the noise Of
the bell SO 1t could not be heard. He will
probably be arrested.

was taking place a short distance away, at
which addresses were being made by
Dayitt and Tanner. Angry speeches were,
made on both sides, and the passions of
the audiences were raised to the highest
pitch by language used by the speakers
Finally those or the outskirts of the two
sued. The McCarthyites made a Spirited
attack, led by Davitt, DR.. Tanner and q
number of priests who were at the meet
ing. In the melee that followed many
persons were injured Among those who
were hurt was Davitt, who received a Sc
we're wound on the head at the hands of a
Parnellite. Different parties were speak
about to follow Parnell and Tanner, at the
Parnell stand, was speaking, when the
sudden conflict arose on the verge of the
crowd. The rush was made toward Da-
Wits car, and a general melee ensued.

Throat While the Latter was Asleep.
CHICAGO, Dec. 15.-A crime of surpass-
ing diabOlism and dramatic sequel took
place tonight in a little tenement on West
Chicago avenue. Carl Holtz, q aged wild
over, lived alone in the upper flat with his
son Paul, aged l6. The two slept in the
same bed. Tonight the boy went to bed
first. He took with him an old table knife.
which he tucked under his pillow. About
half an hour later the father came home
and went to bed. The son had not gone to
sleep, but lay awake awaiting
until WEAKNESS should close the
eyes of the unsuspecting father.
When the old man was breathing heavily
the boy softly raised himself from his pill
low and bending over the placid face of
his father. suddenly jerked the knife
across his throat. The knife was . dull
one, but the lad acted with fearful cool
ness and nerve, for he drove the blade
with n blow deep into the old mans
throat, cutting from car to ear, severing
the juglar vein and wind pipe. The COY
claimed suicide, but his father lived long
enough to tell the story.

Sitting Bull Aftermath.


CHICAGO, Dec. 16.-The general topic Of
conversation at army headquarters to-day
was the death Of Sitting Bull. Assistant
Adjutant General Corbin, who in General
Miles absence has charge of the army
headquarters, was very jubilant all day.
"Sitting Bull was never recognized as
Chief" said Col. Corbip. "He was a great
man to promise great things to the Indians
of his tribe, but was a scoundrel and cow
ard, and only kept his men together by
constant agitation. In the Messiah craze
he was able to keep the young bucks ex-
cited, but now that he. is dead 1 believe
hostilities will cease. If the Indians
should insist on fighting, it will only last
for a lew. days.. General Brooke has
them pinned to the Bad Lands. and
therefore has an advantage over them.
There are a very few ranches in that part
of the country, and it will be impossible
for the braves to make raids. l received a
telegram from General Miles, stating that
he had left st. Paul and would be at the
scene very s0On." From the information
received from Standing Rock agency, it
appears the police officers, under Captain
Fechet, went to Sitting BULBS camp and
demanded. his arrest, whereupOn the chief
ordered his men to protect him. and to
shoot the officers. No more outbreaks are
expected, but during the week the COM
manding officers at the different agencies
will be instructed to ask for the surrender
of all the hostile Indians, and it is expected
they will obey the order.

Failure of an Old Chicago Bank.

Failure Of an Old Chicago Bank.
CHICAGO, Dec. 1.-THE private banking
house Of s. A. Kean & Co., one Of the Oldest
in Chicago, will not open its doors to-mor-
row. Kean made a statement to the press
tonight, announcing the suspension. He
declined to estimate assets or liabilities,
but was of the opinion that every claim
would be paid in full. Business has grown
too rapidly the last year or two for the
capital, and the stringency of the money
market made It impossible to turn over So
curities again at once after loaning money
on them. The nominal capital was $780,
600, but in the attempted reorganization
the capital would have been fully $4,000.

Cause of the Huron Bank Failure.

HURON, s. d., Dec. 17.-Developments
to-day show that the real cause of the run
on the Huron National bank, resulting in
forcing it to suspend yesterday, is attribut-
ed to the receipt by numerous depositors,
including business men. of letters warning
them that the bank wa not safe and tell
ing them to withdraw their deposits.
These letters were anonymous and with
out date, and some of them were received
officials was called to the letters, but they
believed themselves safe and did not IN
ticlpate a heavy run. Numerous kilograms
from banks and capitalists we're received
this morning Offering to supply funds and
urging the bank to open its doors. Presi-
dent Hayden is Frustrated, and until he re-
covers no action can be taken.

PIrrsBuRe, Dec. Iz.-This city, being al

severely from the present outbreak. The

the situation is far worse. Telegraph and
telephone lines were useless, and this
afternoon the papers were . dreary waste,

this city was for the time being completely

very great, all branches Of trade, especially
street car lines, have practically suspend
ed, paralyzing business and causing
q total stoppage of operations 10
the oil and stock exchanges. Re-
ports from the country districts show
even greater damage, owing to the lack of
facilities for transportation. At Bedford,

The Liberal unionists' Manifesto.

LONDON, Dec. 1.-THE executive COM
mittee of the Liberal Unionist association
has issued a long manifesto, which con
cludes as follows: "Parnell and Parnellites
have always been an untrustworthy body
upon whose pledges no reliance could be
placed and whose parliamentary antece-
dents made them unfit and unsafe allies
for any great party, and the recent events
must have forced This consideration upon
the minds of many hOme.rulers. No dis
tincti0n can be made between Parnell and
his adherents and h majority of his party
who seek to depose him. The latter con-
doned his delinquencies and accepted his
policy and now make a sacrifice of him as
a means of extorting fresh terms from their
allies The mistake British hOme-rulers
made was in allowing themselves to be
convinced that either the methods or OBJ
jectS of the Irish revolution had changed.
Neither the Parnellite faction nor the Sc
ceders will ever accept home rule without
a mental reservation for absolute separa-
ton and complete Irish independence.
Any scheme for home rule based upon
other Irish declarations is, and always has
been, Aiusory.
