what May be Done In Congress This
Week-Rulss to Occupy the House.


Week-Rulss to Occupy the House.
WAsHINGroN, d. c., January 81
The Well and La Abrs claims and the
Claggett-D Dorsey election case from Ida
no are the principal subjects expected
20 occupy the attention OF the Senate
during the week. An agreement has
been reached by which the La Abra
claims bill is TO be brought TO vote to-
morrow.
Senator Teller, chairman OF the Pri-
villages and Elections Committee says
he will make the committees report on
the Idaho Senatorial election case on
the same day. It is purpOsed to take
il up almost Immediately. 1t is under
stood that Mr.. Stewart, OF Nevada, and
other Senators will make speeches In
favor OF seating Mr.. Claggett, and as
Mr.. Dubois friends will naturally not
wish them to remain unanswered, it IS
likely that nearly, IL not all OF the
Legislative week in the Senate will be
taken uD with this case, though il is
generally conceded the result will in
the end be favorable to Dubois.
number of minor bills Of importance
will be- passed during the morning
hour" and Senator ManderSon has the
printing bill ready to call up whenever
occasion offers.
The programme in the House for the
greater part and perhaps for all OF the
week can be stated In two words, "the
rules" Although the discussion Of the
report Of the Rules Committee has al
ready consumed considerable time,
there Is no present Indication that its
consideration will soon be brought to
close, especially as it affords inviting
opportunities for speeches Of an inter
esting political nature.
The census urgency deficiency appro-
priaaon bill and the military academy
appropriation bill await action oy the
House as soon as permanent rules can
be decided upon.

Causes Considerable Excitement at Bridge
port, Conn, Because There We're No
Stars and Stripes With 1t.
BRIDGRPoRT. CONN, January 81
Shortly after Il o'clock this afternoon
the big three-masted schooner Glendon,
of st. John, n. B., sailed into this har-
Dor with the British Jack floating from
her mlzzen. In direct violation OF the
United States law, which provides that
a foreign ensign must always be accom-
panied by the stars and stripes, the
main masts were destitute Of bunting.
As the vessel sailed up the harbor the
British flag was perceived by people on
the docks, and as the vessel passed the
three bridges the abutments were black
with excited men, who greeted the Brit
ish flag with Kisses, mingled with cries
Of ''haul it down. and "shoot it!'
Capt. Trowbridge, Of the schooner,
drew a pistol and swore he would shoot
the first man who laid hands on the
halyards. When the vessel finally
reached her berth at Swords wharf,
which is just in the rear of the Fourth
Regiment armory, there were over
I, 200 men on the wharf.
They were Joined by seyenty-tive un-
armed militiamen from the armory,
who attempted TO tear down the flag.
They were driven of at the revolvers'
muzzle by the crew. An American flag
was hoisted on an adjoining schooner
amid great cheering. The British tag
still floats, but will be forcibly removed
in the morning.

REMARKABLE WOUND.
Examined After Thirty Yesrs-why IL
Would Not Heal.

Would Not Heal.
NEW YORK, January 3l.-An autopsy
has been held upon the body OF Gen.
Henry A. Barnum, who died last Fri
day. 1t was conducted by DR.. George
+. Shrady and DR.. B. &. Carleton. The
object Of the autopsy was TO find out
the track OF bullet that passed clear
through. the Generals body during the
fight at Malvern Hill and inflicted a
wound that remained open for thirty
years, requiring dressing every day.
and also, TO discover why In all these
years the wound had not healed up.
II was found that the ball which had
inflicted an injury classed In medical
books as one Of the most extraordinary
wounds on record, had crashed through
the upper rim Of the pelyis, breaking
the ilium, barely skIrtIng the vital parts
and literally letting clear daylight
through the body. Scraps OF dead
bone, 1t was found, had prevented the
wound from healing, though IL Is
Thought II the general had permitted It,
Il was DR.. Sayres' intention TO have
operated again on the wound, and by
scraplng the dead bone away, would
have attempted an absolute cure.
1t is understood that the portions
Immediately involved In the wound are
TO be prepared and sent on TO the Army
Medical Museum at Washington.

A BANK FoK TIE WORLD.
International Institution with n Capital
of S25 100000.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., January al
An international bank, with capital
stock OF sos 200, 900, is likely TO be ah-
thorized by Congress at an early day. A
bill to that effect has been introduced.
and the leaders say II will pass with but
little opposition. The need for an inter
national, and especially a Pan-Amer-
ican bank, they say, is conceded by all.
The Central and South American
countries do foreign commercial busi-
ness OF 81, 100, 900, 900 year. The Uni
ted States gets small share, but the
absence OF system OF direct exchange
is good reason why IT. has not big
share. Their trade is done via London
banks, for which the United States pays
about 81, 100000 commissions every
year.
The information bank will give these
countries a chance To deal directly with
the people OF the United States and be
OF great advantage commercially.
As no State could grant charter TO
such an institution IL was necessary for
Congress to give the privilege. Tho
Government will be in no way involved,
but will have supervision over the
international as IL has over the national
banks.

Mr.. STURGEON DEAD.

The Eminent Preacher Passes Away
without Pain IN the Presnnce of His
Wife, DR.. Fitzhenry and Miss ThOrne.
MENToNE, January 3l.-Mr. Spurgeon
died shortly after II o'clock tonight.
Mr.. Spurseon's end was painless.
He remained unconscious till the last.
His wife, DIR. Fitzhenry and Miss
Thorne were present when he died.
The morning papers contain long
memoirs and obituary articles on Mr..
SpurgeOn. The Chronicle appears with
a mourning border. 1t compares the
dead pastor with Martin Luther.
The Telegrapb characterizes him as
"great, fearless and faithful minister"
1t adds, "Albeit Of homely genius and
eloQuence, all agree that he leaves
void that will be filed with difficulty"
Mr.. Surgeons body will be taken to
England for burial. Mrs. Spurgeon is
bearing her afiiction bravely. Mr..
Spurgeon took little milk during Sat
urday night, but early Sunday morning
it was evident that there was no hope.
Once or twice he just recognized his
wife.
After 10 a. m. he took no food and
gradually sank. His friends had been
confident that he would recover, because
his last attack was mIlder than the
previous one, but the gout reached his
head and congestion of the kidneys
returned.
Between his attacks Of suffering, on
Saturday, he was able to speak, and ex-
pressed himself as anxious to send a
message to his congregation. He
thought constantly Of his wife.

NEW YORK, January 3l.--There 10
more mystery in the little domestic
scene on Sixth avenue last night than
Mrs. Franklin, OF 223 West Twelfth
street, will explain. To-day she told
queer story. Policeman Reardon, Of
the Thirteenth station, noticed a man
and a woman quarreling over hand
satchel on Sixth avenue all the way
from Thirty-eighth street TO F0rtieth
street about o'clock last night. A
crowd had collected and was enjoying
itself at the expense Of the two, who
appeared to be man and wife.
The woman was about % years OF
age, plump and blonde, and she wore a
long seal-skin coat that reached almost
to her feet. Diamonds glIttered In her
ears and on her hands, but shone no
more brightly than did her flashing eyes
as she looked scorniully upon the man
with whom she was struggling. lie
was also well dressed, was about so
years Of age, and was evidently very
much annoyed. Policeman Reardon
marched both offenders TO the West
Thirteenth street police station.
On the way there the woman said 10
the policeman: THAT man is Bullock,
the Philadelphia grain speculator.
"Hushw broke in the man, don't
give it away"
At the police station the man told
Sergeant Cooper that he was Algernon
Douglass, OF 20 Pine street, Phila-
delphia, and added that the woman
was his wife. The woman said that
she was Annie Douglass, but denied
that she was the mans wife.

well be his wife because he has two
wives already. His name is Bullock,
and he is grain merchant in Philadel-
phia.
81 don't want to stay with him any
longer, although he has lovely home
in Philadelphia. | want TO live In New
York and 1 want my satchel."
The man seemed very much disturbed
over his companions conversation.
They had come from Philadelphia, he
said, on Thursday afternoon, and had
put up at the house OF friend OF his
com pdDlOn, Il MIS-. IRAN hlIu, Vi 100
West Twelfth street.
His companion, he said, went out yes
terday Afternoon and met friend, with
whom she had become infatuated. "I've
spent over s60,0O0 on. that girl" he
said, land / don't want TO loose her
now. am willing that she should 20
away If she wants TO, but want TO
know where she is going"
Sergeant Cooper tried iD vain 20
reconcile the pair, bot the woman was
unmoved Finally Detective Murphy
was sent to Twelfth street to get Mrs.
Franklin. who, IL was thought, might
patch matters up.
Upon Mrs. Franklin's arrival at the
police station she and the other woman
had long and confidential chat in q
private room and when they emerged
the young woman announced that she
would 60 with her old admirer. The

JERSEY CITY, n. j., January 81
A dispatch was received here to-day
from Detective VIM. Dalton announc-
ing that uhe embezzler Hyer had escap-

Pa, at 3 o'clock this morning. Hyer

VIM. Hyer was employed as collector
by William Harney, wealthy Jersey
City real estate agent, and fed with
about s., 900. One day last October it
became known that Hyer had been clan
destinely married TO Mamie Marsh, a
daughter of ex-Alderman Harvey Marsh.
The couple went of on their bridal trip,
and Harney soon learned that the jour
ney was being taken at his expense.
The couple were finally located at
San Francisco, where Hyer was arrest
ed. Hyer and his energetic young wife
made a fight. Harney'S missing money
was OF course used to pay for the eX-
peuse. Detectivs Dalton, who was sent
10 bring the fugitive back to this city,
WIS much chagrined as he met the legal
obstacles thrown in his path by che pris-
oner's lawyers, and newspaper dispatch
ga stated that the detective took to
drink and had to be confined in an ine-
briate asylum to save him from the de-

AT length his path was cleared, and
on Saturday . week ago. the officer

Detective Dalton reached Jersey City
tonight. His story is as follows: Hyer
and his wife gave me no trouble. They
seemed confident of fighting the case
successfully in the courts here, and
there is not one man in a hundred
that would not have trusted him.
The Hyers retired to their berth
about 10 o'clock last night. They oc-
cupied No. and l occupied No. 4, di-

WASHINGTON, ID. c., January 81
Very emphatic talk is heard here again
OF forcing Blaine out OF the Cabinet.
Men who are Identified closely with the
political fortunes of the President make
no bones about charging Blaine with
dou0le-dealing and trickery in the
Chilean affair.
They assert that Blaine steadily ar
rayed himself against the President and
most OF the other members Of the Cabi-
Let by opposing q vigorous policy in
dealing with Chile, and that when he
found himself i'm q minority he resOrted
60 intrigue and dUplicity so as to bring
about the result he desired, and prevent
the administration from making a show
ing that would strengthen Harrison be-
fore be people.
They point TO the diplomatic cOrTe-
SpOndence with Chile as evidence that
while the President and the rest Of the
administration aud the people were
righteOusly indignant with the Chileans
and impatient Of their delay in offer
ing apologies and reparatiOn, Mr.. Blaine
was imparting the impression 70 the
Chilean Minister that everything
was going along nicely, and
that our indignation was all
assumed. Blaine is also charged with
having through his trickery delayed the
settlement of the affair, and it is even
intimated that Blaine'S machininatiOns
placed the President in the attitude OF
having sent his message TO Congress
while knowing that the Chileans apology
had been made or would be made.
In short Harrison men are highly in
dignant at Blaine, and 10 will be sur
priSing II their indignation does not so
strain the relations OF Mr.. Blaine TO the
President that the Secretary OF State
will have TO quit the Cabinet.
