The woman persisted in her intention
to remain on the stage and the warrants

IN CONGRESS.

what Was Done by Senators and Repre-
sentatives at Yesterdays session.
WASHINGTON, March 2S.--In the Senate
yesterday Senator Turpie, in personal
explanation, replied to statements made
in an interview by Judge Woods relative
TO his nomination, and denies the exist
ence OF personal friendly relations be-
tween them.
The bill for the relief OF settlers on the
was passed: Yeas, "a; nays, "a party
vote except that Mr.. Hale voted "No"
with the Democrats.
The next bills on the calendar being
the three adversely reported from the IL
nance committee for the free coinage of
silver; for the issue of Treasury notes
based on gold and silver coin, and bull
lion; and for the retirement OF national
bank notes and the free coinage of silver
introduced respectively by Messrs. Stew
nrt, Peffer and Plumb) were laid aside
without action, Mr.. Stewart not being
present.
The House began the debate on the free
silver bill.
Mr.. Tracey OF New York, Mr.. Harter of
Ohio, and Mr.. Hoar of Massachusetts,
were ubiquitous. Several bills were re-
ported from committees and referred,
after which Mr.. Bland called up the
special order. The bill having been read
in full Mr.. Bland took the floor.
But Mr.. Tracey OF New York made
point of order that the bill must receive
its first consideration in committee of the
whole, as it involved n charge upon the
treasury. Mr.. Dingley supported this
point, which was antagonized by Mr..
Bland, and overruled by the chair, who
stated that the matter had been exam
ined at the time OF the report of the bill
from committee.
pOn motion of Mr.. Bland a resolution
was adopted providing for evening ses-
sions for general debate on the silver bill.
Mr.. Watson of Georgia wanted some
time granted in the discussion to men,
bers of the third party. "We stand here"
said he, "as an independent party" "We
are all independent on this question" re-
torted Mr.. Bland amid applause and
laughter.
At the conclusion OF Mr.. Bland's speech
Mr.. Taylor of Illinois, on the Republic
can side, objected 10 Mr.. Williams, the
Democratic opponent OF free coinage,
opening the discussion in opposition.
Mr.. Williams got the floor and present.
cd a substitute bill providing for an in
ternational monetary conference. There
was considerable discussion as to his
right te present the views of the minority
but Speaker Crisp held that such was his
right according TO the custom OF the
House.

Fire Did $4,000 Damage In the Folding
Room of the House of Representatives.
WASHINGTON, March GA fire oc-
Cured in the folding room of the House
OF Representatives about o'clock last
evening and destroyed a large number of
public documents, mostly agricultural
reports and memorial addresses, which
had been prepared for mailing to differ
ent parts of the country.
The fire department was promptly on
hand and soon had the fire under control.
The office and corridors, which were
closely packed with documents, were
flooded with water TO the depth OF several
inches and dense smoke permeated the
entire building, including the House. It
took some time TO clear the hall OF smoke
30 as not to interrupt the proceedings OF
the evening session.
The fire is supposed 10 have resulted
from carelessness OF an employe in neg
lecting TO extinguish a candle or from a
lighted cig-r dropped on the floor among
loose papers by visitor. The loss is esti-
mated at $4,000, confined almost exclu-
eively to public documents.
The folding room is located in the east
sub b-basement OF the House wing OF the
capital and stone floors and heavy brick
walls alone, prevented the flames from
spreading TO the richly furnished COM
mittee rooms on the floor above.

and boys met near the factory, apparent
ly waiting for the workmen to come out,
but they had left at an earlier hour to

Of the New York Central AMI Lehigh Valley
system the hoart was unable to obtain anv
definite answer from them rs 10 whether
the companies would submit the trouble
with the workmen to arbitration. the attor
news saving they had no authority 10 answer.
Today the board decided to address a
letter to the chief officials of the roads in
volved in the strike. in which they say that
the board held conferences with Mr..
Sweeny. grand master of the switchmen's
organization, and representative swi,chmen
of the several roads who expressed will
ingness to agree to Il settlement of the con-
troversy by arbitration either by the state
hoard or any three disinterested persons
who may BE- designated.
The board wishes to ascertain whether
the corporations concerned will consent to
an adjustment of the difficulties by such ar
bitration.
The Western connection of the Central &
West Shore is tied mp, as freight traffic Is
concerned The strike seems be epidemic
and there is no telling how fast or how far it
will spread. Yesterday the switchmen on the
Central and West Shore stuck, and there
is a strike in the west bound yards Of the
Lake Shore.
Al East Buffalo early this morning, two
trains of Central freight was delivered to
the Lake Shore by the New York Central

refuses to handle it, The men were at once
ordered discharged, and their engines were
turned into the round houses.
The news was quickly carried to Ham
burg, Elk anil Scott's street yards. and in q
short time every member of the seven
crews constituting the night force quit
work. The other five engines were taken
10 the roundhouse by the engineers and
their fires dumped
Bv O'Clock not a wheel was being
tnrned in any of the three yards of the COM
rany When the day men put in an ap-
pearanee they were promptly notified OF
what hal occurred. 1t seemed to meet
their qualified approval and they all went
home without reporting 10 their superiors.
