in SENATE and HOUSE
A Big Programme Mapped Out
for This Week.
PREPARATIONS FOE INAUGURATION.

The Governors of Nearly All the States in
the Union will be Presont-A Parade
that Will Eclipse All its Predecessors
The Extradition Treaties With Russia
and France.
WASHINGTON, Feb 10. But 16 working
days remain of the Fifty-second Congress.
Only one of the annual appropriation
bills-the Army bill-has become a law
and from this time on until the 4th of
March both Houses of Congress will lend
every energy to the completion of the re-
mainder of these important measures.
For this reason it is uncertain whether
the Senate will be able to carry out the
programme of legislation, short as it is,
arranged by the Republican caucus.
The Nicaragua Canal bill is the unfin
ished business, but as it promises to pro-
woke long debate, it must, from time
to time, give way to the appropriation
bills and conference report.
Next to the Nicaragua bill onthe eau
Gus programme is the Omnibus Statehood
bill. Senator Carey, who is in charge of
the bill, does not purpose to lose any OPP
portunity to advance it and whenever re-
course is had to the calendar, on which the
endeavor to press the measure without
waiting for action on the Nicaragua
bill
1t is possible that the Senate may be
plunged into financial discussion any
day in the week, should Mr.. Sherman
call up the amendment to one of the ap-
preparation bills of which he has given
notice, authorizing the Secretary of the
Treasury to sell bonds to maintain specie
payment under the Resumption act.
Now that the silver question is definite
ly shelved for this Congress, the leaders
in the House do not see anything ahead
between now and the 9th of March to
cause trouble except the appropriation
bills and the anJi-Option bill. 1t is pur-
posed to keep the House pounding away
on the appropriation bills with but little
iutermission until the last one of them is
| sent over to the Senate.
Those still remaining before the House
| are the Pension, which is under consider
alton, the Postof1ice, the Indian, the Ag-
| riculture and the Naval bills.
This week will be occupied mostly with
the several appropriation bills, though
there is some prospect that a special
| order may be brought in, in behalf of the
| New York and New Jersey bridge bill,
| for which measure a cloture petition has
been presented to the Rules Committee,
or if the Agricultural Committee, which
has the anti-Option, Pure Food and
| other bills in charge.

INAUGURAL CEREMONIES. ~
The Committee Preparing for the Grand
est Demonstrations Ever Held.

The Committee Preparing for the Grand
est Demonstrations Ever Held.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 10. The work of
committees having charge of the cere-
monies incident to the inauguration of
President-elect Cleveland is progressing
satisfactorily. Gen. Mcmahon and Col.
Corbin, who have supervision of the ar
rangements of the parade, are daily re-
ceiving applications from military organ
izations all over the United States for
positions in the line
More than 100 civic organizations, in
Guiding Tammany, have thus far re-
ported probable strength of over 1900
men to form in line on March 4.
The Governors of the following States
have notified the committee that they
will be in line, accompanied by members
of their respective stats, and, in many
instances, by independent military COM
panies:
Delaware Pennsylvania, New Jersey,
Georgia, Connecticut, Massachusetts,,
Maryland, North Carolina, South Caro-
lima, Virginia, Ohio, louisiana, and Wis
consin.
1t is almost certain that a ma ority of
the Governors of the remaining States
will be present, but as yet they have not
notified the committee.
Pennsylvania, as usual, will send the
largest representation of any State. Its
full National Guard of 5000 men will be
in line.
New York will send its crack organiza-
tions, the 7th and Goth regiments, and
probably Company A of the 18th regi-
ment, Brooklyn.
The following independent organiza,
tions have notified the committee to re,
serve them positions in the line:
Georgia Hussars, Monumental City
Guards and Baltimore Rifles, Palmetto
Guards, of Charleston, S. c.; Cleveland
Troop and Alliance Guards, Ohio, and
the Fort Worth Fencibles, Texas.
There is every probability that the in
auguration of March 4, 1898, will surpas'
all it's predecessors.

BrOOELy9s Briefs.

The property on the corner of
Washington avenue and South River
side streets, consisting of two houses
and building lot, are for sale. Apply
evenings, to Mrs Brophy, ON the
premises.
james Dunphy, the 19 months old
son of Christopher Dunphy, died in
Brooklyn, N. Y, Saturday night. The
remains were brought to this city for
interment in st Joseph's cemetery. The
funeral took place from the 4 o'clock
train this afternoon.
The symptoms with which William
Benn is suffering at the quarantined
house on Charles street look much like
another case of smallpox, but they are
not yet sufficiently developed to war
rant any definite statement from the
health officer. The patients confined at
the pest house are all doing remarkably
well. Three new cases of scarlet fever
were reported to the health board
yesterday.
The attendance at the st Patrick s
parish bazaar was again very large on
Saturday night. Thomas Maher and
George Butler sang several duets and
solos which were much appreciated.
The Ideal Banjo club rendered several
fine selections and the Brooklyn drama
tic club completed the large programme
of entertainment with the farce, "The
Professional Gardener" The bazaar will
close this evening and besides the draw
ing of the articles Shanahan and Shay
will repeat their bayonet exhibition and
the dramatic club will also put on the
farce paddy Miles Boy"

NOT A "TRiPLE ALLIANCE"
The Extradition Treaties Between This
Country, Russia and France.

The Extradition Treaties Between This
Country, Russia and France.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 13.-The publica-
ton of dispatches announcing that there
was hidden significance in the extradi-
ton treaties recently ratified by the
United States Senate with Russia and
France naturally occasioned many in
uuiries to be addressed to officials here
and to members of the Senate who would
be in u position to know the facts
According to the dispatches ga triple
alliance between the United States,
Russia and France for mutual benefit and
defense which has been secretly pending
for six years unknown to either the dip
lomatic or political world at large, Gull
minated, in an executive session of the
United States Senate two days ago." in
the ratification of the extradition treaties
with the Powers.
Careful inquiries from the best source
of information do not sustain this inter
probation of the treaty. 1t is asserted
that there was no provision in either of
the treaties very widely differing from
extradition treaties negotiated with
Great Britain, Germany and other Powers.
More to the point still, it is said, there
was no provision in either treaty differing
essentially from the extradition treaty
with Sweden, which was ratified at the
same time.

Further Details Of the Disaster.
LONDON, Feb. l3.-The customs ofic-
ials at Greenock report that during the
excitement on the steamer Pomeranian,
which came back to port after a terrible
experience in a storm, the luggage of the
dead and living passengers was plundered
of all small articles of high value.
Nothing has been learned as to the
identity of the thieves.
From additional accounts regarding
the terrible calamity, it appears that, af-
tor Capt. Dalziel had been carried below
unconscious, the vessel was brought
about by order of the officers in COM
mand and kept running before the
gale.
The crew cleared away the debris and
battened dow the matches.
The waves swept over the deck from
stem to stern, and flooded the passen-
gers quarters. There was no panic, and
the crew had everything snug before
dark.
The gale continued to rage with fury
until Wednesday last, when it abated
somewhat. On Thursday the weather
again became stormy, and gradually rose
to a hurricane.
Innistrahull Light, off the most north
erly part of the Irish coast, was sighted
on Thursday evening, and the position of
the vessel ascertained.
Owing to the terrific weather it was
necessary to lie to until Friday morning
when the Pomeranian was steered for
Greenock.
Captain Dalziel's legs were broken
and he had sustained internal
injuries. He was carefully removed to
his room and everything possible was
done for him, but he died the next morn
ing
Ten were carried overheard and two
fatally injured.
When the sea boarded the steamer
every man about deck who saw it coming
grabbed hold of stanchions or anything
else convenient, and it was due to this
that the loss of life was not much larger.

If DAILY Wills Carter May be a Senator.

HELENA, Mont. Feb. 13.-The five Re-
pubIicans who voted for w. A. Clark
for United States Senator Saturday have
announced their intention to vote for him
to the end, and, it is said, the Republi-
cans realizing that they cannot elect
Mantle will take up Thomas H. Carter.
Carter must receive six Democratic and
two Populist votes to win. 1t Is believed
that two Populists will support him and
that DAILY can, if he desires to do so, throw
the six Democratic votes to him.

An Interesting Question

Men are as common as potatoes. We
see them everywhere. Still the most in
teresting object in this world to look at is
II famous man. People 60 in flocks to see
him. 1t is called hero-worship. 1t ought
to be called soul-worship, because it is the
soul you are admiring. Have You ever
seen an ugly face grow handsome after
little acquaintance
From the soul tho body form doth take,
For soul Is form, and doth the body make,
CHAUCER.
We believe in monuments to public
men 1t attracts the attention of our
youth, and is healthy inspiration. Wa,
terbury is one of the best known inland
cities in the world Her industries go on
uninterruptedly. We have no strikes.
Eve,y sensible person is improving his
condition. But the question is, to whom
shall we build our first monument What
name stands out in bold relief that we
would consider worthy of the distinguish
ed honor We need not care what out
siders think. We must go on the princi-
pie that every family loves its own, and
we, the people of Waterbury, are one big
family. 1t will be interesting to the peo-
pie to know that we have let the contract
for putting Il new front IN our building,
South Main and Grand streets, 1t will
soon be finished and people will come
from all parts to see it. Talk about your
monuments This Will be the monument
that the people will flock to see. The fine
hand of the skillful artist will here be
seen at it's best and the people will rise up
and call the Waterbury Furniture com
pany blessed. Our building inside is
complete and our trade is double what we
expected at this time of the year. Our
new crockery department is model of
excellence. Our carpet and stove depart
ments are just what you would expect in
first class house. Remember that the wo-
men of Waterbury God bless them-were
unusually prolific last year, in honor of
Columbus we suppose, and increased our
population, to the inspiring tune of ! ,210
babies. We think we can hear their
musical voices now, crying for the baby
carriages which we have bought for them,
and we stake our reputation on their
beauty, style and finish. oh, they are
elegant, and no mother who loves her
child can afford to buy until she sees this
line. We wont attempt b describe them;
they must be seen to be appreciated, be-
cause the low price and new style will
surprise you. We guarantee our prices
this year to be considerably lower than
ever before. We can afford to as we have
increased our capacity in every direc
ton. We are buying in immense ,quanti-
ties in every department, for cash. We
own the buildings we occupy, and the
rent we put back into the business. We
have every advantage that money can
afford We are into business this year
with both feet and we mean to agreeably
surprise the people who visit us. Remem-
Der our motto: We never fool the public.

Many Residents of Hawaii Desire TO SEQ
tho Queen Reseated.
SAN Francisco, Feb. 13.-Evidence
gathered from arrivals by the steamer
Australia and from private letters is 40
circulating to show that a majority of
the Hawaiian natives favor the Queen,
and that large part of the foreign popu-
lation prefers an American protecrorate,
with limited monarchy, to annexation.
This reaction against the first enthu-
siasm for annexatian is said to be strong,
and Paul Neumann, the Queens envoy to
Washington, has mass of affidavits
from white people of reputation and
property, declaring that they favor re-
storing the Queen to power under an
American protectorate.

On Trial for Oyster Piracy.

FAIRFIELD, Conn, Feb. 13.-Everybody
connected with the oyster trade here
abouts is keenly watching the trial of
Capt. Daniel Sprague. The testimony
against him tends to show that he

grounds, dumped them in the water fac
ing DR.. Mays estate when DIR. Mays
Waterman signaled that the coast was
clear, and afterwards took them up for
sale in New Haven.

The Fall Elections in Virginia.


1t is the worst policy in the world to IN
derrate the strength of your enemy. This
is truism which tho Democrats Of Viz
GINA must bear in mind for the next few
months. The Republican party seems TO
have little vitality left, and the Third
party. or Populists. or Peoples party,
have not yet had a good opportunity to
develop their strength. If this new party.
or these new parties, keep their secrets to
themselves as the Know-Nothings did and
manifest their strength only at the ballot
box there is no telling what mischief they
may do. The Norfolk LdndnlQS says on
the subject
ave understand that our Populist friends will
certainly nominate q candidate for Governor In
this State and that they expect 10 have quite
sprlnkling OF members OF their party in the next
Legislature. This Is m interesting subject OF
reflection for those who are expecting 20 be
nominated for Governor and who are candidates
for the United States Senate. We do not know
Just what strength the Ihird-party followers have
In Virginia now, but they claim a good deal and IL
would DO great mistake TO ignore their preten-
sions or possibilities IN the political calculations
for the future. The most skilful and successful
general, and, We may add, politician and states
man, always makes due allowance for the
strength of the enemy. II is said that there Is a
scheme afoot for a coalition between the Repub-
leans and Third-party followers. and that this
combination expects to mako warm fight
against the organized Democracy"
OF all the elements which enter into
the calculation We suppose the strength of
the Republicans proper is the greatest.
But We do not know. However, we know
enough to justify US in gong to work in
earnest. We know that the grand army of
the dissatisfied Peoples party. or Third
party. or Populists. or Republicans, or
what not. expects to catch the Democrats
mapping.
