WASHINGTON. Feb. 1.-THE Senate

The Senate bill passed to establish a

The House then went into committee of
the whole (Payson of Illinois in the chair

McAdoo, of New Jersey, spoke at some
length against the shipping bill. He told
the members they could not, in this Con-
gress, vote direct subsidy to one interest
and in the next refuse to subsidiZe the far
mer by voting against the subtreasury
scheme. Once the subsidy system was
entered upon, its progress could not be
stopped.
Fitch gave notice if the shipping bill
passed a committee would be appointed in
the next Congress to inquire into the man
ner in which its passage had been secured.
Farquhar, of New York, asked Fitch to
talk like man and not deal in inuendoes.

nunciations of the subsidy policy, and there
was hot exchange of words between
Bland and F'arguhar, the latter denouncing
the silver lobbyists.

The order of arrest was made our at the in
stance of Lawyer Waldorf Fl. Phillips, of

months. DiXey recollected the judgement,
but could not understand how he could be
arrested on it. The manager of the theatre
endeavored to secure DiXey's release be-
fore the hour for the performance. In order
to do this it was necessary to pay $3.50 and
costs to satisfy the judgment. He refused,
however, to give bond, bad as he wanted
"Adonis," unless Dixey would deposit the
the full amount with him. AS there was
no other alternative this was DONE and he
appeared at the performance as usual.
Phillips says: ''DlXey secured $3.50 on a

1t Caused a Surprise.

PEORIA, Feb. 1.-THE arrest Of J. Glib
son in Chicago to-day caused intense sur
prise here. AT the trust headquarters no.
body could be found this afternoon. Presi-
dent Greenhut went to Washington ten
days ago and is still there, although his
relatives and friends do not know what
hotel he is at. His son stated to night if
his father desired to say anything on the
subject he would make his whereabouts
known, otherwise not. Whisky men assert
Gibson's arrest is the result of conspiracy
of antitrust distillers. He has been a res
ident in this city since '79, when he came
from Cleveland, and entered the employ Of
the March distillery as bookkeeper.
When the trust was formed in 1881
he was elected secretary, and has
since held that position. He has
made money very rapidly and il
now rated at $500 Mayor Clark, form
erly member of the association, said to-
night that Gibson was not such fool as 10

missing from town since Monday evening
and where he has gone no one knows. The
financial condition of the banks is not
known. The books will be examined at
once.
Last week Spaulding escertained the di-
rectors of the North Middlesex bank were
about to have it examined when he left

Colonel Seedham, formerly bank examiner
has advised the banks not to pay out any
more money until there has been an official
investigation. He stated a letter had been
found which indicates Cashier Spaulding
has been specializing in stocks. An inves-
tigation tends to show that both banks are
solvent, the North Middlesex especially so
as no funds have been tempered with If
there is any loss it will fall on the national
bank.
Spaulding was regular member of the
Methodist Episcopal church and was an
nounced as man of sterling habits and up

The Reciprocity Agreement with Venezuela.

The Reciprocity Agreement with Venezuela.
New YORK, Feb. IA Washington spe-
cial to the Times says: 1t is understood
the President is ready for the announce
ment of proclamation for reciprocity with
Venezuela similar in terms to the agree
ment just reached with Brazil, and it will
take effect about the same time as that
agreement While commerce with Vene-
Zuela is not so large as that of Brazil, the
United States for several years enjoyed a
much larger proportion of its importing
business than any other nation dealing with
Venezuelans. The total exports of Vene-
zuela in 1856 were little more than SILL
600, 600 and their imports about S9000,000
OF this amount the Venezuelans took from
US more than s., 000, coo in 1886, and in 1888
that country took from US productseto the
amount of So, O00,0O This included about
5000, 600 worth of breadstuffs, principally
wheat -four about $500, coo worth of cloth,
S400, 900 worth of manufactures and iron
and steel, and more than $500, 600 worth OF
provisions and dairy products. In 1888 we
! imported q little more than $40, 900 alto
gether. While the United States sends
more products to Venezuela than any other
| foreign nation, the imports from the united
/ kingdom of Great Britain, France and Ger
many together are larger than those of the
United States.

Legitimate son of the late a. ]. Davis, mil
lionaire banker of Butte, over whose estate
there is fierce fight, created surprise to-
day by assigning to John A. Davis, brother
of the deceased, all his right and interest
to the vast estate. in consideration of
100000 His lawyer knows nothing of the
assignment and claims it is a breach of
contract entered into with the other heirs.
1t is said that he is fast young man and
would rather have money to spend now
than wait the slow process of the law.
Under the will entered for probate by John
A Davis, he would receive life annuity,
and in case the will is revoked, he would
come in for an immense sum of money, as
only two children claim the late bachelor
as their father. This Is the latest sensa-
tional development in the already cele-
brated Davis will case.

Brazilian government decided sometime
ago to import 10000, 900 emigrants and
North German Lloyd steamships had
already landed 100000 emigrants, receiving
800 marks each for them. The emigrants
were not allowed to form colonies, but
were scattered in the forests in the interior
and left to their fate, to die of hunger,
fever or snake bite, or be devoured by wild
beasts. A few retraced their steps to Rio
Janeiro, begged sustenance of the planters,
who exacted eXorbitant services from them
in return for the scanty meal. At Rio
Grande the correspondent found 700 emf
grants in dying state, huddled in wooded
chapel, while thousands were camping in
the streets of cities through which he
passed, or in the forest. He has testified
to the truth of his statements before a
Bremen Judge Still the emigration officers
are doing a roaring business.
