A Thrilling Composition.

CONGRESSIONAL WORK.
Rapid Progress Made by Both Houses
the PaSt Week.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 8. The two
branches of Congress made rapid progress
during the last week in the transaction OF
public business, but it is the general dis
position to do even more work daily
henceforward.
In the Senate this week the naval APP
preparation bill will probably be called
up tomorrow, after final action is reached
on the eight-hour bill, and the District OF
Columbia and diplomatic and consular
appropriation bills will be reported from
the committee during the week. The
other measures that will probably inter
vene are the copyright bill, Indian depre-
dations bill and the Nicaragua Canal bill.
1t is within the bounds of possibility that
an effort will be made to attach the free
silver coinage rider to one of the ap-
preparation bills, in which case some
delay may result.
The appropriation bills will probably
continue to absorb nearly all the time of
the House for some days to come, and
the prospect for any general legislation
during this week is not bright.
The silver bill and the report of the
Raum investigation committee are sub
jects which may be precipitated upon the
House during the week, but in what form
il is impossible to predict.

Mr.. stanlev,s Motber-in.Iow

Speaking of Mr.. Stanley's courtship.

No, Henry; Dolly is all that I have
left and cannot, shall not, part with her.
The mother-in-law in England plays a
lonely part. She is not welcome to her
daughters household; her visits must be

the avenging of wrongs done it's mem

members who get into trouble before the

CATHOLICS IN WIS NsIN.
Rivalry Existing Between the English
Speaking and German Priests.

Speaking and German Priests.
MILWAUKEE, Feb. S.-The organization
here of an American Catholic Clerical
Union, composed of English speaking
priests of the Milwaukee province, is
interpreted as the first step in what may
be bitter contest against German
supremacy. For years the Arch
bishop and three Bishops of the
province have been German, and
the German priests outnumber the
English-spealIing priests three to one,
although numerically the English-speak-
ing laiety is fully as strong as the Ger
man.
The recent appointment of Bishop
hatzer as Archbishop was great disap-
pofntment to the English clergy, who have
now formed an organization with view
to. securing proper recognition, and they
will appeal direct to Rome for the
appointment of an American to succeed

Several Vessels Damaged by q High
Wind at San Francisco.
SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. S.-A genuine
norther, entirely unheralded save by
rapidly falling barometer, came down
on the harbor Saturday night at
8 o'clock, and hourly increased in
violence, until 10 this morning, when
it was at its hight, the wind blowing at
the time forty miles an hour. Vessels
that were not securely moored received
severe bumpings, but as far as can be
learned very little damage was done dur
ing the blow.
The most serious casualty reported was
that of the steamer South Coast running
afoul of the big ship A. G. Ropes The
South Coast was somewhat cut up around
the stern, while the Ropes had her side
badly scraped amidships. She will prob
ably have to put in several new streaks.
The bark John Woster also suffered by
the South Coast dragging across her stern,
several timbers and the rail being
smashed.
The steamer was rescued from her per-
ilous position by the tug Vigilant, which
slowed her around to her berth again.
The ship Alex Gibson, moored to the
Harrison-street wharf, is quite high in
the water, and during the hight of the
blow she was bumped quite heavily
against the dock, smashing the string
piece, her own bumpers and several
piles.
The pilot boat America was forced by
the wind against the head of the Lom-
bard-street wharf, but managed to get
off.
AT the seawall various vessels moored
alonside received the full force of the
blow and were obliged to seek the stream
for safety.

for four innings and then he weakened. Wrinkle
man could not be touched with effect, and had
he had perfect support would have shut the
