MORSE And HOAR
Resume, With Acrimony, Their War
of Words,
BUT NO BONES ARE BROKEN.
A Lively Time In the House and a Discus
sion Of what Constitutes a Gentleman
The Debate on Rules-Mr. Reed Offers
an Amendment which Is Rejected.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Feb. 2.-In the
House to-day Morse of Massachusetts
rose to a question of personal privilege
and proceeded to reply to Hoar's remarks
of yesterday. Hoar had produced the
manuscript of Morse's remarks in support
of his statements. Morse characterized
this as a violation of the proprieties that
obtain among gentlemen, and without
precedent in the House. His manuscript
was his own property, and he denied the
right of the gentleman to remove it from
the government printing office and bring
il into the House.
Hoar replied that he would refrain from
answering the gentleman "a he(Mr. Morse)
had been sufficiently advertised. The
consideration of the rules was then re-
sumed.
Reed presented an amendment providing
that when call Of the House was ordered
when quorum was disclosed as not pres
ent, each member as his name was called
should be brought before the House, be
counted as composing part of quorum.
whether he votes on the pending question
or not. After much debate the amend
ment WIS rejected.

Against Dictator Hill.

ALBANY, Feb. 2.-Tbe movement against
Gov. Hill and his early State convention
seems to be growing rapidly. Adyices
come from all parts OF the State OF an
organized effort against the Hill machine.
Three of the most prominent Democrats
of Albany, who do not wish their names
mentioned, were, in an interview, all
agreed in favor of beginning the fight at
once. The matter of holding separate
State convention is still under advise
ment, and the chances are that il will be
held. One of them said:
1T looks as IL Hill had destroyed the
chances of Cleveland's nomination. Now
we shall turn upon him and destroy his
chances l believe that no one from New
York will be nominated for the Presi-
dencyn
Another said: eve have now in the
Democratic party dictator. and are pass
ing through political experience that
will result with disaster unless something
can be done to show Hill that his ambi-
tions cannot be successful as long as he
continues his present methods"
The third thought the nomination would
probably 90 TO some Western Democrat.
All three were against the nomination of
German, because they thought that Hill
had an understanding with German by
which the latter would be nominated in
case Hill failed in his plans.

The Echo is the last boat in existence that
was once engaged III the slave trade. Her
captain was a certain Nathan Gordon, who
was hanged on February q, 1862, in the
Tombs.
There are persons at the Tombs now who
remember the day Gordon entered its walls.
1t was in the early days of Linc0ln,s ad-
ministrati0n. The President had deter
mined to enforce the law against the slave
traders, which had previously been dead
letter, and the extreme penalty of which
was death. Gordon was taken red-handed,
as it were, being captured with a cargo of
blacks aboard. 1t is said that an OppOr-
tunity was given him to escape before he
reached New York, but he refused to avail
himself of it. AS he said he had done nothing
he considered unlawful. Floods of letters
deluged the officials of the Tombs. A petit
tiOn was even issued to the President. IL
was taken to Washington and laid before
the Chief Magistrate by the mother and
wife Of Gordon, who were indefatigable and
untiring in their efforts. But it was OF no
avail. The Presidents iron-bound deter
minatiOn could not be shaken. He would
not even commute the sentence TO life I'M
prisOnment.
The last night of his life he spent in writ
ing letters. He asked toward morning for
some fresh water and it was thought he
poured something in the glass. This sus-
piciOn was confirmed when he shortly after
ward became violently i'll. Physicians were
summoned and by prompt and heroic meas
ures he was defeated in his purpose to cheat
the gall0WS.
He was hanged early next morning after
making a long speech denouncing the Presi-
dent, the District Attorney and all whom
he considered instrumental in bis untimely
end

TWO oFFICERs SHOT.
Trouble Among the Workmen in a Lumber
District.


ToNAwANDA, n. Y, June u.-About 10
o'clock this morning 300 union men marched
down the river to Weston & Sons lumber
yard and began to throw clubs and stones
at the non-union men engaged there. The
entire police force of eight men had been
stationed along the docks aud yards, and
they speedily arrived on the scene and drew
their pistols and fired into the air with the
hope of quelling the riot. The union men
were also armed, and returned the fire with
serious results. Officer John Martin was
shot through the knee joint and Officer
Frank Kinsley through the abdomen. The
police then fed for their lives. Sheriff En-
sign of Lockport was called upon for as
sistance, and came upon a train accom-
panied by number of deputies.
AS result of a conference between the
Chief of Police, the Sheriff, Captain Som
meTs of the militia and the lumbermen, II
was decided to attempt no arrests untIl
every recautlon had been made lor sue
cesSful effort. IL is thought that the bullet
which struck KinsleY was intended for
Woods, the foreman of the yard. He had
revolver and was shooting when a stone
struck him in the head, telling him to the
ground Woods was badly cut and bruised.
After the policemen were driven away
short work was made in huStling out the
visited tile island, where men were at work
or baTges at the different yards and sew
eral men were badly beaten. Fassett &
BellngeT's dock at the ferry was next vis-
tied and the men driven off. Warrants
were Issued for the arrest of several men
who are believed to be the rngleaderS OF
the mob, and nine men were taken tonight
to the Lockport jail. The union men are
holding meeting tonight, and have ap-
peRled 10 the State Board of Arbitration.

THE TEXAS OF A STEAMER.
How a Part OF a River Steamboat Gets
Its Peculiar Name.



Its Peculiar Name.
St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
Every few people know the origin of the
word texas, as applied to a certain part of
a steamboat" said an old river captain at
the Laclede last night. "All modern boats
don't have the texas. though it was an es-
sential Of the old system in the halcyon
days of steamboating. The texas you know,
is that apartment of the upper deck just
beneath the pilothouse where the crew shifts
sleep. The word was first applied in the
troublOus times Of the thirties and forties,
when Texas was first fighting for liberation
from the despotic rule OF Mexico. and after
ward when the United States was plunged
into war with the AZtecs to maintain the
rights the brave Texans had wrung from
Santa Ana. Recruits from the United
States were carried down the Mississippi
to New Orleans and thence across the Gulf
to Texas to help the Lone Star men in their
war. The boats that took them down the
river were the first to construct the apart
ment for the crew and that supports the
pilot house. This innovation in boat build
ing made it possible for travellers to peer
through the little vind0Ts from an eleva-
ton that enabled them 10 see a greater
scope Of country on both banks than they
had before been accustomed to sweep with
their vision. The innovation coming on just
at the time that Texas was causing such a
cOmmOtiOn all over the world, passengers
and boatmen with one accord always re-
ferred TO the apartment as the texas. The
name has stuck 10 it ever since, and it is
about as good "a any other, though l often
hear people wonder at its origin"
