COMMENTS ON THE sPERoH.
The members then dropped out into the
lobbies. where the speech was informally
discussed with great animation. The Glad
stonian liberals were disposed TO regard Il
as a conciliatory we'll balanced and peace
making measure, and seemed to
be hopeful as to second reading.
The anti-Parnellite members favored
the bill as whole. All that the
tories would say for the new bill was that
IL was more sagacIous and better drawn up
than that of 1886. The liberal unionists
would not make even this favorable ad-
mission and were declaring everywhere
that it must inevitably meet the fate Of its
predecessors. In the meantime, In the
house, Col Saunderson, conservative for
North Armagh. was speaking vehemently
against any and every plan OF home rule
On motion OF Col. Saunderson the debate
was adjourned.

RAPIEFEs FUSES UNDER a CLOUD.
The Experiments With Them So Far
Not Very Satisfactory.

O~ NOAg DNeA1Ata0kOAl
PoRT Royal, s. c., Feb. l3.-The ques-
tion Of the efficiency of the RapIefP fuse is
all important on board the Vesuvius Just
now. The leisure afforded by the wet and
dreary Sunday failed to satisfactorily settle
the mooted question Of whether the fuses
had worked during the last two days trials
with gunpowder shells. Capt. Rapieff
stoutly maintains that in each instance the
fuses have exploded. He admits that il is
more than probable that the guncotton
der charge, but is inclined to ridi-
cule the idea that the fuse
itself failed TO perform It's functions. 1t is
generally believed that the board on the
other hand does not think that the fuse ex-
ploded and this view of the matter is ac-
cepted by many Of the unofficial observers
OF the tests. The question ia, however,
thrown into greater obscurity by an Incl
dent Of to-day's work. The board took
fifteen pounds Of gunpowder, lowered it ten
fathoms below the buoy and had 10 exploded
BY electricity. The smoke was observable
after the explosion and there were
no surface indications which
could be seen at a distance equal to that oc-
cupied by the Wahnetta in reference TO the
shells fired Saturday. This will strengthen
Capt. Rapietf's claim that all the fuses have
proved efficient. This same experiment
was tried with powder at seven and two
tathoms submerslon, and the same results
were obtained in each case. This was prac-
tically the only thing of much importance
that was done to-day.
RAPIEFF EXPERIMENTS,
Capt. Rapieff took one Of his fuses on the
naval station dock and in the presence of
the board dropped it into six fathoms of
water. A cord was attached aud the fuse
was recovered in order to see if the shock
OF the fell would be great enough to throw
the ball from its springs and explode the
illuminate cap which ignites the powder
train. In neither OF the two at
tempts was the experiment success
ful. The fuse was then dropped
on the dock from an elevation Of
or 10 feet. This likewise failed, but the
cap on the latter exploded when the fuse
was dropped on the dock from an elevation
of feet. 1t will be remembered that the
shock from the projectile falling in the
water when fired from the guns is greater
than that given by any of to-days tests.
Tomorrow actual tests with high explosives
will be made. Three shells will be loaded
with thirty pounds Of gunootton each. A
small charge is used to avoid any possible
accident from a premature explosion of
these shells.
The officers Of the Philadelphia will re-
turn the courtesy Of the citizens of Port
Royal and Beaufort by giving an evening
dance on that vessel tomorrow afternoon,

A RUN ON a BANK.
Women and Children Drawing Out
While Merchants Deposit.

Women and Children Drawing Out
While Merchants Deposit.
BEAVER FALLS. PA, Feb. 13.-There is
a great run on the Economy Savings Bank,
owned by the Economic Society. 1t began
Friday and was supposed to have ended
Saturday with restored confidence, but to-
day it began again. The published state
ments of Cashier Reeves regarding the
solidity Of the concern only appeared TO in
crease the fears of those who had
money in the bank. All day the en-
trance to the bank has been
jammed. The cashier, assistant cashier
teller and clerks were settling accounts
while perspiration streamed down their
faces. In the midst of the rush Cashier
John Reeves stated, as before, that all &C
counts would be paid and that they had
more than enough money for all depositors.
AS on Saturday the greater part Of those
drawing out their accounts were women
and children. Despite the run many Of the
larger depositors have no fears. One
merchant deposited over $4,000 this morn
ing and others deposited large amounts.
They say they have no fear and would
deposit all the money they have without
the least hesitation.

FAvoRs ANOTHER FIGHT.

Cleveland Wants Another Effort Made
to Pass the Repeal Bill.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 19.-Mr Cleveland
believes, ID is understood that upon analysis
the vote IN the House on Thursday shows
that silver purchase repeal ought 10 have
succeeded instead Of being defeated, and
also that an effort to reverse the result of
Thursday would succeed if properly made.
Josiah Quincy was at the House of Rep
resentatives to-day with message to this
effect from Mr.. Cleveland, and with a re-
quest that another attempt should be made
to pass q bill in the House stopping the
silver purchases. Most members Of the
Senate and House think it is
impract1cable to get such
bill through the House now as it would to
get it through the Senate. Still MIR. Gle We
lands friends in she House are anxious tu
do everything that they possibly can to
carry out Mr.. Cleveland's desires and will
endeavor TO see what can be done. It Is
possible that compromise measure repeal
ing the silver purchase features of the Sher-
man law and providing for silver coinage
of 2, 900, 900 a month, or something similar
may be gotten through the House.

HAwAws COMMISSIONERS.
The Sugar Bounty One of the Financial
Items to be Considered.

Items to be Considered.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 1S-There was no
conference to-day between the Haw allan
commissioners and Secretary Of State Fos-
ter. The latter was engaged all the after
noon with the delegates from the United
States to the International monetary con-
ference, who are in the city for the pu
pose of completing their report to the
PRESIDENT. This postponement, however
VIII work no delay in the progress of the
negotiations for the annexation of Hawaii
Each side has received from the other a
draft of the basis for the proposed treaty of
annexation, and harmonizing of the details,
upon which there is difference Of opinion,
can proceed without a personal confer
ence.
A CONFERENCE THIS MORNING.
The commissioners will have another oon-
ference with Secretary of State Foster to-
morrow, probably in the morning before
the cabinet meeting. 1t is probable that
the text Of the proposed treaty
OF annexation and the Presidents
message transmitting it TO the Senate will
be ready at that time for submission to the
cabinet for consideration. 1t is said, how
ever, that they will not be sent to the capi-
tol until after the arrival of the letters and
dispatches from Minister Stevens and other
officials, which reached San Francisco last
Thursday on the Australia. The mail ia due
in w Washington, barring delays, tomorrow
evening.
Many matters of detail are constantly
coming up for discussion, some Of which
will find no place In the treaty, but be left
for settlement under the questions OF admin
istration and government. The principal
financial item is that of bounty on sugar.
The Hawaiians naturally want the pres-
ent law TO apply to their crop,
but are not insisting upon this point very
strenuously, being convinced that the
bo unity provision Of the tariff law will not
be retained long enough to cover the next
sugar crop of the islands, which does not
begin to come in until December.
Aside from the sugar bounty, Mr.
Thurston Of the Hawaiian commission
estimates (withous having made any calcu-
lation on the subject that the loss Of revenue
to the islands by annexation will just about
equal the amount OF expenditures Of which
they will be relieved.

Desperate at Quitman.
QUITMAN, GA, Feb. 13.-R. T. Miller, q
policeman Of this place, was shot this even
ing by Mn Duncan a well-known white
man Of the county. Duncan was drinking,
and when in that condition Is always dan
gerous. He was having a dispute with
Sheriff j. W. Thrasher about serving a
warrant sworn out by Charles Granger
against @. d. Purvis and three others
charged with rioting. Duncan became in
furiated with Sheriff Thrasher because he
would not allow him to arrest Purvis, and
his conduct on the street soon grew so
boisterous with oaths that Policeman Miller
went TO him to arrest him. Duncan drew
his pistol, and walked into Sweat 81
Wilson's bar. Miller blew for assistance,
and he and Policeman J. z. Wade then went
into the bar after Duncan. When they
took hold of Duncan he again drew his
pistol In the scuffie Duncan fired, and
shot Miller in the groin. The pistol was
self~cocking 3S, and the wound is a bad
one, though the doctors think not fatal.
The ball took a downward course, but the
doctors, after probing for some time, were
unable TO find it. Policeman Wade had
the barrel OF the pistol In his hand trying to
take it away from Duncan when he fired.
After the shooting Sheriff Thrasher and
Policeman Wade carried Duncan to Jail
When searched another pistol and pair of
brass knucks were found on him. Police-
man Miller was peculiarly unfortunate In
that he had q few days ago sent In his
resignation to take effect at 4 O'Clock this
afternoon. lie was shot about O'Clock.

JACKSON TO BE JUSTICE.
THR SENATE WILL CONFIRM HIS
NOMINATION..

A Favorable Report Made by the Ju-
dietary Committee-Object IN Ex-
ecutive Session to Immediate Action
Delays Confirmation Until the Next
decentralization Not to Nominate
Republican to Succeed jackson.
WASHINGTON, Feb. lS.-Judge jackson
Is to be confirmed as Justice Lamar's sue
cessor. The members of the Senate judici-
ary committee, which to-day voted 20 re-
port his nomination favorably, are authority
for this statement. One of them is authority
for the equally interesting statement that
Mr. Harrison win not nominate a repub-
lican successor as circuit judge in Judge
Jackson's place, and that the information
of that fact conveyed on behalf OF Presi-
dent Harrison by member of the judiciary
committee. has had the effect Of dissipating
so much of the opposition to Judge Jack
sons confirmation on the democratic side of
the Senate as was based on a desire to pre-
vent the nomination Of a republican as cir
cult judge. If President Harrison has
relinquished his purpose to nominate q suo-
cessor to Judge jackson he must regret that
he nominated Judge jackson, for the exa
pectation Of being able to put republican
in a southern circuit judgeship was un-
doubtedly large factor in inducing him TO
appoint Judge jackson. Apparently the
democrats in the Senate have outgeneraled
him.
ACTION OF THE COMMITTEE.
BIZ the associated Press.
WASHINGTON, Feb. IS. - The Senate
judiciary committee this morning in very
brief session decided to report favor
ably the nomination of Judge Howell
E. Jackson to be associate justice Of the
supreme court of the United States. When
the nomination came up week ago to-day
the democrats entered formal protest to
its consideration and under the rules the
matter went over until the next
meeting of the committee, which
was to-day. The republican members
in the meantime decided that they would
brook no further delay, inasmuch as there
were no charges Of any kind, and de-
termination was reached that the nomina-
tion should be acted upon this morning.
When the committee met the democratic
members stated that they would no longer
oppose the report to the Senate, but inti-
mated that they would reserve the right to
take such steps as they saw fit when the
question Of confirmation came before the
Senate itself.
The only business transacted in the eKecu-
tive session of the Senate to-day was the
presentation of the nomination Of Judge
jackson by Chairman Hoar of the judiciary
committee with O report favorinR its con-
flrmation: Objection was made and under
the rules the nomination went over until
the next executive session.
