Speaker Crisp Out of Danger-Congress
man Caminetti's Bill. Etc.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 14.-Speaker Crisp
is now convalescent and out OF danger
unless relapse should unexpectedly
take place.
The Idaho contest was again up to-
day before the senate committee on
privileges and elections. Claggett spoke
in his own behalf.
There was an informal conference OF a
number of the Democratic members OF
the ways and means committee, but
beyond very general interchange of
views, nothing was done.
The senate committee on territories
had under consideration this morning
the bill to provide a local government
for Utah. 1t was decided to grant a
hearing February 11th to persons from
Utah in favor of and opposed to the
measure.
Representative Caminetti has intro
duced bill declaring Sacramento,
Stockton and Marysville ports OF deliv-
cry. Caminetti says if this is done the
importance of the Sacramento and San
Joaquin rivers will be made apparent to
congress and the people generally, for if
the towns named are made ports of de-
livery, statistics will be tabulated
annually, showing the amount of goods
transported by water on the two rivers.

. IN THE SENATE.
Three Bills Passed and an Adjournme MT
Taken Tall Monday


WAsHINGToN, Jan. 14.-In the senate
today, Morrill, presented a memorial
from the astronomers of the country in
relation to the change OF management
OF the new observatory from the navy
department to civil administration.
Referred to the committee on naval
affairs.
Among the bills introduced and re-
ferred were the following:
BY Vest-For the improvement of the
Mississippi river from its mouth to the
Ohio, appropriating $11, 100000.
By Cullom-To promote the safety of
employees and travellers, by compelling
common carriers to equip their cars with
automatic couplers and continuous
brakes, and their locomotives with driv-
ing wheel brakes.
By Wilson-For two additional asso-
ciate justices of the supreme court in
Utah.
The senate then took up the calendar.
The first bill was one to aid the state of
Colorado to support school OF mines,

paid the United States for mineral land
in Colorado, for the maintenance Of the

illness of the duke. has been greatly in
creased by his death. 1t is generally
agreed that haste will now be made in
bringing about the marriage of Prince
George, to remove the possibility of the
Fife succession. This possibility is not
viewed with equanimity by the members
of the nobility, who believe all heirs
to the throne should be of full
blood royal. 1t is limited very broadly
that marriage between Prince George
and Princess Mary of Teck will be ar.
ranged. The weekly paper. Modern So
ciety, however, today stated that mar
riage had already been arranged between
Prince George and daughter OF Prince
and Princess Christian, third daughter
of Schleswig- stein-Sonderburg Au-
gustenburg.
UNIVERSAL SYMPATHY.
No performance will be given at any
theater, they all having closed their
doors as token of respect. All the
newspapers of every shade of opinion
express in their leaders deep regret and
most profound sympathy with the
prince and princess of Wales and Prin-
cess Mary.
kilograms from all parts of the king
dom show that the news of the death of
the duke was received everywhere with
tokens of deep respect and sorrow. The
duke of Connaught, uncle of Prince
Albert Victor, and personal aid-de-camp
to the queen, arrived at Portsmouth
from Osborne. He Immediately took
train for Sandringham.
Her majesty is Frustrated by the blow
that has fallen upon her, and did not
feel equal to the task of accompanying
the duke of Connaught. She still re-
mains at Osborne house.
Both the prince and princess of Wales
looked haggard and worn out by their
continued watching by the bedside of
their son.
PRINCESS MARY's GRIEF.
The condition of Princess Mary is
pitiable. She wanders from room to
room, weeping bitterly. She cannot be
made to stay in one place two minutes
together, and she appears to be dazed
at the sudden taking off her betrothed
husband. She refuses to touch food,
and her terrible distress and wordless
sorrow is causing much apprehension
regarding her. This afternoon messages
OF coincidence were pouring in, and al
ready such messages have been received
from most of the rulers.
PRINCE GEORGE THE MORE POPULAR.
1t may be stated that Prince George is
far more popular among all classes of
British society than was his brother.
The st. James Gazette this afternoon, in
an article which, it is believed, reflects
the general feeling, says: ''It would be
sycophancy to say the hapless prince
was regarded by the majority of those
over whom he might have ruled. The
death of the duke can hardly make a se-
rious difference in the political or dyn-
astic situation

Some things in this world are very
queer, but not half as queer as other
things.
Mr.. Carnegie, foy example, proposes
to reduce the wages Of his army of
workingmen all the way from ten to
fifty per cent.
As an illustration of Mr.. Harrison's
pet theory that a highly protected in
dustry always results in an increase of
income for the grimy toiler and that,
therefore, the grimy toiler ought to
vote the Republican ticket, this little
incident will serve a valuable purpose.
1t seems rather hard for Carnegie TO
force an uprising as q protest against
the greed OF protected capitalists at
time when Mr.. Harrison is pleading for
a reelection. If this contemplated
strike should 60 into operation, and
Carnegie, as it is rumored, should con-
vert his workshops into fortresses with
which to repel the invasion Of the dis
contented laborers, it would give us an
object lesson at which Republicans
would grieve and Democrats rejoice.
Cut wages down and then ask the
workmen to support she administration
which approves OF such a course? There
is a slight inconsistency hidden in that
woodpile, and the American mechanic
will see il before November calls him TO

Decline to Underttk Ike the Reorganization
of the RICHMOND Terminal Under Ex-
listing Circumsta docs
New YORK, June IS. -Drexel, Morgan
e. Co. to-day sent letter to w. K.
Strong, the chairman of the Richmond
Terminal Stockholders committee.
The firm says it has made careful
scrutiny of the affairs of the Richpond
Terminal system. and believe equitable
reorganization possible and one that
would make the property financially
sound. Then the letter runs thus:
"The complication and difficulties
which meet us in this connection
make it necessary, we need scarcely
add, that we should, as your represen-
tatives, and as far as possible, be pro-
tected against any single interest which
might, for personal or other reason.
desire to thwart the successful carry
ing out of such reorganization. With
this In mind, we deemed it essential be-
fore any action on our part, that
majority of each class of stocks and
bonds of Richmond and Western Ter
minal Railway and Warehouse Com
pany, be deposited with us for the pur-
pose of reorganization, and that all lit
igation should be put under our control,
and persons of our selection substituted
for the receiver now in possession Of
the properties.
Therefore, upon learning of the ap-
pointment of receivers of the Richmond
and Danvllle property by the United
States Court, we applied to Mr.. w. P.
Clyde to know whether, in case we un
dertook the reorganization the suit
under his control would be transferred
to US, and the present receiver resign in
favor of Mr.. Spencer, stating that such
a course was essential.
HE declines to give us any such as
surance, and our conversation with him
leads us to doubt his loyalty to the re-
organization plan whatever, although
he, as one of your committee, signed
the request to us to undertake the same.
As in our opinion it is essential to the
success of any plan that during the re-
organization the properties involved
should be under our control as already
mentioned, and as the position taken
by Mr.. Clyde makes this impossible, we
are obliged reluctantly to decline the
invitation to undertake the reorganiza-
ton.
