amendment was certainly in order, and
the chair had erred in his ruling. Mr..
Blount (dem. Of Georgia opposed the
amendment, and thought it was clearly
out of order. Mr.. Pierce (dem.) Of
Tennessee launched forth in silver
tones and appealed to the House TO sus-
tain the amendment. He could not
understand what had caused the
change in the attitude of the democratic
party on this question. In the last
Congress when Mr.. Bland had offered
his free coinage bill, which were beaten
by l34 yeas to l27 nays, there was but
~ republicans in this large number.
What had come over the spirit Of the
dreams of the democratic party? The
people could not be deceived bv any
such demagoguery as this, and he was
ashamed of his fellow-democrats who
dared no: face the issue. Mr.. Hooker
democrat, Alississippi) supported the
amendment. The chair ruled Mr..
Bland's amendment out of order, as il
was not germane to the subject matter
under consideration, and did not re-
trench expenditures. The amendment
added new object Of expense, and he
would sustain the point Of order. GAP.
plause by the anti-silver democrats. }
MIR. Bland appealed from the decision
OF the chair. The decision
OF the chair was sustained by vote of
l2O to IS. The free coinage men were
not able to muster any appreciable
strength. The debate then assumed r.
wide range. several members talking
at once. Mr.. johnson (rep. Indiana
charged the democrats with duplicity
and failure to keep their pledges. "lf
they we're honest" he said, .sthey
would have passed free coinage bill
long ago." While he WAS speaking
MIR. Cooper (dem. Indiana) entered
the hall and after standing listening
for moment, said that Mr.. johnson
was not speaking Of silver metal, but
brass (laughter). Mr.. johnson retorted
that he had supposed that

his little hatchet. Laughter. The
democratic party should always he re-
lied upon to make mistakes or to re.
sort to any methods to carry a point.
They were unscrupulous when an end
was to be attained. Mr.. Babbitt
| (democ-at) of Wisconsin inquired
what party had induced Mr.. Tracy
(democrat) of New York to fillibuster
and pettifog against the silver bill.
The reply could not be heard above
the din and confusion in the House
Mr.. Cogswell (republican) of Mas
sachusetts offered an amendment ap
propriating $l0l,645 for continuing
the work of the eleventh census,
against which Mr.. Sayers tdemo
craft of Texas raised a point of
order, as this was properly deficiency
and did not belong to this bill. The
chair overruled the point. A vote by
tellers resulted, ayes 1, noes 125. Mr..
Holman (dem. Of Indiana then de-
manded call of the committee, which
showed 1872 members present. On a
second vote by tellers the result stood,

demanded a roll call, which also de-
veloped quorum. An amicabIe ar.

effected, Mr.. Holman withdrew the

Awful Stories of Storm and Disaster Cabicd
Across the Pond
New YORK, March est is little
wonder that people across the Atlantic
arc oftentimes inclined to regard tho
United States not only as country
little moro than half civilized, but also
land full of terrors OF one kind and
another Much Of this belief has its
origin in the extraordinary stories that
are cabled TO the other side regarding
occurrences in the United States
For instance, the English and
French papers for the first half of the
present month which hnve come in by
the latest mail. contain stories of n
frightful blizzard, accompanied by
fearful storms Of wind and snow, TINT
were alleged at the time Of the dispatch
to be raging in Minnesota, Wisconsin,,
North Dakota, South Dakota, Kansas
and Iowa. According to the story
business is entirely suspended in the
northwest, railroad traffic is at stand
still, there is destruction of property
and loss of lifo on all sides, fall of
fifty degrees in temperature has taken
place accompanied by fall! of snow
and sleet, many persons are reported
to have been frozen to death, and
many cars on the railroads have been
blown from the tracks," while in Chi.
cago day of oppressive warmth was
succeeded next day by SO much snow
and leo as to bring street traffic to a
stnndstill. And the worst Of it is that
these extraordinary stories are believed
to be as true as gospel by our British
and continental cousins.

PITTsBuRG, March 2S.-George Stew

Borrowe came over. He stated late
Friday that he was "onto" them both
from the start and closely watched

very anxious to land. and when Health
Officer Jennings and his tug came
alongside of the Majestic at midnight

turned to the captain and made the re-
quest. The latter replied that itcould
not be done. A lively war Of words
followed between them. The captain
finally snid it would cost Drayton
81, 900 if he went on shore. The latter
replied that money wns no object to
him, and he glided down ladder on
the ships side and reached the tug,
being willing to pay the fine of 81 200
for making an irregular landing. Mr..
Stevens heard the conversation and
will vouch for its accuracy. He be-
lieves there is something back Of this
affair which has not yet been pub

A SINGULAR SCENE.

The Jury Charged In Murder Case In
the Midst of n Minstrel Performance.
ATLANTA, Ga, March 26.-A singular
scene took place during the perform
apce of a theatrical troup in Talbotton
Wednesday night, the like of which
was probably never seen in this land
of queer doings. During the perform
ance of Franks minstrels at the opera
house the judge of the supreme court
and tho lawyers in the Ealy murder
case were seen to file into the opera
house and take their seats just under
the foot lights. "Bones" and tam
BOURNE" were interrupted in the midst
of their chestnuts, and drama in real
life was enacted on the stage.
Tho opera house had been used
for court room during the day and
the jury entered the opera house dur
the performance to be instructed on
some points which they could not
agree upon. Judge Martin took his
seat upon the stage, in the midst of
the burnt-cork artists, and recharged
the jury, after which they filed back
into the jury room. The court and
the lawyers remained in the house and
the performance was Immediately re-
sulned. The defendant, on whose life
the jury was to pass, was kept in the
court to await the verdict, and sppar-
emily enjoyed the show, as did tho
court and counsel.

CHICAGO, March 26-The peculiar

city of q tremendous oversupply of

prevailing aud very natural idea TINT

cago would give this city an industrial
boom has had the effect of bringing
hither thousands of mechanics clerks,
skilled and unskilled laborers only to
find that their expectations had been
delusive, and that the particular
lines in which they expected
to find employment are already moro
than abundantly supplied. Numbers
of these unfortunates are to be met

On tho other haud the continuous in
crease in population, and the large ad-
dition to the property interests of the
city in the shape of flats and houses
and consequently of housekecpcrs,
has created demand for fe-
male labor greatly in excess of
the supply and the intelligence
offices are in many cases unable to
keep up with one-fifth part of the de-
munds upon them. AS u logical result
wages have increased in proportion,
and housekcepers. who year or two
ago were able to obtain competent
help at 81 so or So per week with
board and lodging, are now glad to

newly imported Germans and Swedes,
scarcely able to understand the Eng
lish language, and to pay for such help
from ~ to Sc per week. The indica-
tions are that by the time of the open

new source of supply is found, female

DE sTuERs WANTS A NEW TRIAL

Not Satisfied with the Decision Which
Gave His VIE Freedom.
CHICAGO, March 28.-There will be
important Developments in the famous
de Stucrs divorce case Monday when
Attorney Henry Peartrce, who repre-
sents Baron De Stuers, will formally
make application to tho Dakota court
for new trial of the somewhat celc-
bratcd divorce suit. Mr.. Pcartree and
the opposing attorney, Henry A. Ship
man, are at the Grand Pacific The two
lawyers held "a long con-
sultntion last night, vainly
trying to reach basis upon
which to settle the whole affair. They
will make another effort today, which
Mr. Shipman says will be equally
futile, and then Mr. Peartree will serve
his notice asking tor u new trial.
Baron de Stuers has repeatedly ex-
pressed himself rs dissatisfied with tho
decision of the Dakota court. and has
also circulated the story that the de-
cree is not worth the paper it is writ
ten upon in any European country.
His council has made public denuncia-
tions of the proceedings, characteriz-
ing the rulings as unprecedented and
unfair. He has made public many let
ters written by the baroness to De
Stuers which contain terms OF endcar-
ment, and with which he attempts to
show that the charge Of cruelty was
unfounded.
While the attorneys were at their
consultation the baron's divorced wife,
now the wife of Elliott Zborowski, the
wealthy New Yorker, and her hus-
band were occupying a box at the
Columbia thcater. After the per-
formance Mr.. Zborowski said: "rhe
so-called baron knows better than to
waste his fortune in any effort to prove
nntive-born American to be Dutch
woman or that bonn-fide American
decree of divorce is not good and valid
the world over when defended tooth
and nail and with and without diplo-
matte aid. My advice to the so-called
baron's seemingly many friends would
be to stand off and not bring him SO fre-
quently before the American people.
We are not yet educated up to the So
called baron's diplomatic tactics, and
someone might misjudge him and
them"
