CONGRESS AT WORK.
A Regular Appropriation Bill
To Be Taken Up Next.
DEFEAT OF HOLMAN LIKELY.
Silver Speeches to Begin Soon-The Op.
tion Neutrality-suspicious. of Type
writers for Congressmen.

WASHINGTON CITY, Feb. 6.-[Special. l.
The impression tonight is quite general
that the proceedings of the House next
week will be more interesting. Now that
the rules have been adopted there is no
reason why the business of that body
should not proceed. The first bill to be
reported next week will be the military
academy bill. 1t is believed there will be
a lively discussion over this matter, as
some increased appropriations are asked
for, and Director Holman is disposed to
make a fight against any increases. 1t is
believed that the old man will suffer his
defeat over this measure. After hot dis
cusson, it is believed the bin will be
passed with all the appropriations at
tached to it.
The first general discussion on the silver
question will probably come up during the
week. The debate that will follow when
this matter comes up is sure to be exciting,
if not interesting. Many members who
are both for and against free coinage
measure will take this opportunity to give
their views full hearing for the benefit OF
the public and the readers of the Congress
siOnaI Record in particular. AS has fire.
quently been stated in Washington City
dispatches to the PosT-INTELLIGENCER it is
not generally believed that any free coin
age bill will secure the right-of-way for
direct vote on the floor of the House. The
purpose of the Democratic leaders, is still
to evade the question, thereby preventing
the real position of the party on this ques-
ton becoming known until after the cleo
ton next November.

THE CHILEAN AFFAIR.
London "Times" Still Lying-President
Months Triumphal Tour.

SANTIAGO, Feb. 6.-[New York Herald
Special. lit is almos beyond belief that the
London Times should allow its correspond
ent here to continue to send such gross
misstatements concerning United States
officials in this country. His latest story
about Minister Egan's house being guarded
by police to protect him from roughs is alb
solutely without foundation.
President Montt is making q triumphal
tour through the southern provinces. Re-
ports received here state that everywhere
he is treated with the highest honor, and
the enthusiasm displayed over his pres
ence is unbounded.
SAN Francisco, Feb. 6.-Another claim
for damages has been filed against Chile,
this time by Andrew Mckinstry, a mem
Der of the crew of the American steamer
keweenaw. Mckinstry was with Patrick
Shields, fireman of the keweenaw, when
the latter was arrested and so terribly
maltreated by the Valparaiso police. He
was also severely beaten by the police
and then imprisoned. but was afterwards
released on the demand of Minister Egan
and Consul McCreary. The claim. which
is for $4,000, has been sent on to Wash

John Crerar's VIII Sustained.

CHICAGO, Feb 6.-The will of the late
millionaire John Crerar of Chicago, leav-
ing funds for the establishment of great
library in this city, has been sustained by
Judge Tuley. The validity of the will
was attacked by certain cousins of the
deceased, on grounds similar to those on
which the bequest of the late Samuel J.
Tilden, of New York, was overthrown.
The Crerar will made individual religious
and charitable requests to the amount of
$780, 200, and gave the residue of his estate,
amounting to over $4,000, 900, into the
hands of Colonel Huntington w. Jackson
and Mr.. Norman Williams to found the
Crerar library. 1t was contended by COM
plainants that the reslduary clause was
void because 1t was obnoxious to the law
of perpetuities, and that the other
requests were not of public
nature. In substance, the court
holds that there could be no
more deserving charity than a bequest for
the education of the people, and that it
was clearly the intention of testator that
the residuary estate should become at his
death gift to charity. If the residuary
clause was good, it made no difference to
the compliments whether the challenged
special legacies were void or not, as lapsed
legacies of personally fell into the res
lduum, and complainants had no standing
in court. The judge commented on the
difficulty under the New York law OF sus-
tanning wills making requests to charity,
and ofthe practice in this state of constru-
ing the law literally in favor of the wishes
of charitable testators as accounting for
the different conclusions reached in the
Tilden and Crerar cases.

WAsHINGToS CITY, Feb. 6-The CARA
movement along the Mexican border is
giving the officials of the war department
considerable trouble just at present. No
secret is made of their disappointment
that CARA is still at large in American
territory, and that his operations cannot
be confined exclusively TO Mexican terri
tory. CARA and his followers are known
10 have received aid and sympathy from
Mexican residents in the vicinity of the

tributed TO the receptions practiced upon
them by these people.
General Grant, acting secretary of the
war department, and General Schofeld
had a conference with the president on
this subject today, and it is understood
that it was decided TO take vigorous action

BERLIN, Feb. s. Associated Press,
Copyrighted, 1892. Whatever may be the
intention of the ministry regarding modi-
flying the Prussian elementary education
act, the proceedings in committee show
that the Clerical Conservative majority
are not disposed to assume q conciliatory
attitude. The clauses containing the most
arbitrary provisions have already been
passed, 16 to L.. By an uualtered major
ity the House rushed the successive para
graphs of the act, needless of the protests
of the Liberals. The committee has asked
Herr Miguel for detailed statement
of the annual expenditures under the
measures. The Conservatives got thor
ough setback when they found the new
education law would involve an increased
outlay of 1900 600 marks annually. which
it is proposed shall be raised on an income
tax. The opposition holds that this es-
innate is not sufficiently large. The Con-
servatives have almost decided to drop the
measure unless the financial clauses of the
bill are moulded to suit them. Meantime
popular agitation is spreading throughout
the empire The Liberals in every state,
recognizing the fact that victory of the
Ciericals in Prussia will enable them to
triumph elsewhere, are organizing demon
stratiuns against the proposed new law.

RAILWAY SCANDAL IN PORTUGAL.

moved for Crooked PRACTICES.
LISBON, Feb. 6-After the cabinet coun-
Gil today decree was issued Diminishing
Peito Carvalho. administrator of general
customs, from Office. This is one of the
most important offices in the country. and
the decree created sensation. Carvalho
has great influence, both with Tate and
the present king. He is also on terms of
intimacy with Senior Arvalho, formerly
minister of finance. The action of the
cabinet yesterday in dismlssing from his
position Senior Carvalho, administrator of
general customs, is due to that official
concealing from the government the fact
that the transit dues owed to the state by
the Royal Railway Company had not been
paid.
In the cortes Senior Arriegar demanded
the impeachment of ex-Minister Carvalho
and the appointment of a committee to
decide whether also the others should be
impeached in connection with the railway
scandals. The proposition of Arriegar
was received with dead silence and the
discussion of it reserved. motion was
also made in the chamber of deputies de-
handing the impeachment of Senior Car
valho, ex-minister of finance, which was
referred to committee. The mo-.
ton grew out of Senior Carvalho's
action while holding the port
folio of the minister of finance,
in advancing to the railway company
100000 forms on his own responsibility
and without the knowledge of his col
leagues. About the middle of last month
Carvalho informed the council of minis
ters what he had done, and the president
of the council laid the matter before the
cortes. The council of ministers, the
president said, declined to accept any re-
sponsibllity in the matter, and Senior Car
valho resigned. The president fur
Their declared that his efforts to find a man
who would accept the Office of finance
minister had failed and that in conse-
quence the whole ministry had resigned.
Carvalho afterwards explained in both
chambers the nature of his proceedings
during his term Of office. He stated that
he had arranged for payments amounting
to 1900 contos of refs during his period,
and when he accepted office the
only resources available were 600
contos remaining from the tobacco
loan. Senior Carvalho was visibly
affected III making his statement. He
said that if all his com binations for saving
the country from financial disaster had
been realized he would not have been here.
He had, however. he declared, saved the
country from bankruptcy ON three occa-
sions, i'll June, October ana January, when
he secured payments on the coupons then
falling due.

The Option Investigation.

WASHINGTON CRY, Feb. Ga. ]. Sawyer,
of Minneapolis, was before the House
committee on agriculture again today.
He defended the custom OF buying options on
exchange to cover the possibility of loss on
wheat in elevators. He said spectators carried
the surplus for actual wheat buyers, and enabled
them to sell their wheat as fast as it could be
absorbed. If wheat in store were showed for
ward the market would be glutted, and cash
wheat would fall to a very low price. By buy
ing futures against the wheat he had in the ele-
vators the elevator owner insured himself
against loss.
H. H. Aldrich. of the Chicago Board of
Trade, was asked if spot wheat, which was
the wheat the farmers sold, would not be
higher if futures were done away with.
Mr.. Aldrich replied:
If too much wheat had not been sold the price
now might be better, but i'll May it would be
lower ana the speculator, owing to the lower
rates of interest he paid, could carry the wheat
cheaper than the farmer.
Muttullath, of indianapolis, next at
tackled dealings in futures. He said:
The greater part of trading in wheat was done
between October and April, and during that
time the farmers had to accept the depressed
prices caused by the short seller

Stories of Horrible Cruelty in the ser

BERLIN, Feb. 6.-The Saxon military
plenipotentiary, Colonel Won Schlieben,
and General Won Gonster, OF the Prussian
army, have admitted, before commission
appointed by the reichstag to inquire into
the charges OF cruel treatment of soldiers,
that the allegations are founded on fact.
Won Gonster stated that the position of
the men had been greatly improved re-
Gently under special instructions. He de-
clared that the soldiers would be better
treated if non-commissioned officers were
OF better social material.
In subsequent debate in the reichstag
all the speakers concurred in expressing
sympathy with the men. and finally a
motion was passed advising that great
publicity be given court-martial and freer
access afforded to privates who desired to
lay complaints before superior officers.

Admiral Walkers ships have been ordered

WASHINGTON CITY, Feb. 6.-There were
some important orders issued from the
navy department today. Captain Schley
has been relieved from the command of
the cruiser Baltimore and placed on duty
in charge of the Third Lighthouse district,
with headquarters at Staten Island, New
York, relieving Captain II. f. Picking,
who has been ordered to the command of
the cruiser Charleston. Captain Remy
has been relieved from her command and
granted two months leave of alb
sence. The Baltimore is to be commanded
by Captain William Whitehead, who is
at present on duty at the Boston navy
yard. lie will leave that post on the 18th,
and will take command of the vessel as
soon as he can make the journey across
the continent. Both the Baltimore and
Charleston are at San Francisco. IL is
stated at the navy department this morn
ing that these orders had no bearing on
the Chilean episode. as the relief Of
Captains Schley and Remy is a matter of
rule, those officers having served more
than the regulation time as commanders
of these vessels. Their time expired
some weeks ago, and it was at their urgent
request that no changes were made as
long as there was prospect that there
would be trouble Their relief from their
vessels during such period would have
been regarded as rather severe, unless
there was some specific reason for the
change. Captain Bradford had been selected
some weeks ago to succeed Captain Schley
in command of the Baltimore, but his death
at Portsmouth, n. H., recently made it
necessary to select another officer for that
