THE COMMITTEES ON RULES.
what Mr. Burrows Says of the Order
Adopted This Morning.


What Mr.. Burrows Says of the Order
Adopted This Morning.
The House committee on rules this morn
ing authorized. by a party vote. the re-
port to the House OF what is termed by
Messrs. Reed and Burrows, the minority
OF the committee, the most drastic meas
ure ever proposed to any legislative body.
They say it far surpasses anything ever
thought of even in the Fifty-frst Congress.
1t provides that upon the adoption Of the
order. the Speaker shall proceed to call the
committees for reports, and until that or
der Is exhausted. no motion whatever shall
be In order or entertained by the Speaker.
Mr.. burrows said: I'm the Fifty-first
Congress all that We ever did was to cut
on dilatory motions. But now, If the Capt.
tol should fall down or take fire while the
committees were being called. we could not
even take recess. The republicans will
prevent the Introduction of the report on
the order to repeal the federal election
laws and to defeat or delay the adoption
or the order proposed by the committee on
rules" VA
After the committee had formally ad-
Journed. the majority members remained in
conference In the room Of the Speaker. The
1urther program respecting the election hill
was discussed and it was stated afterwari
by one OF the members that an order would
probably be reported tomorrow for the con-
sloeratfon OF the bill, beginning next Tues
day. The length of time that shall be al
lowed for debate has not yet been finally
oecioeu upon, but the managers of the bill
propose two weeks Mr.. Tucker SAYS all the
time desired by the republicans will be al
lowed: that Is matter for agreement The
republicans have had no consultation upon
this subject. but individual expressions of
opinion have been made that at least four
weeks would be necessary to nronerIy,
dispose Of the question

THE TARIFF HEARING.

Representative of Various Industries
Heard by the Committee.
Today, the last days hearing given by
the ways and means committee, found
representatives Of the paint and color cor
set thread. carpets and lead industries
before the committee.
]. S. Page, representing Devoe and Ray
nolds & Co. of New York and the color
makers Of the United States. spoke first.
He said that the present bill discrimi-
mated against them, as the raw material
which entered into the compound articles
were taxed beyond the finished product
To this disadvantage must be added the
difference in the cost Of labor here and
abroad. He asked that in the preparation
of the new bill duty on the compound arti-
which it was made would not receive great
er protection.
l.. E. Holden. proprietor Of the Cleveland
Ohio Plaindealer, argued in opposition to
any reduction in the present duties on lead
ores. The decrease in the price of silver,
he said, had been great setback for the
lead mines and three-fourths Of them were
now closed on this account. The industry
was brought into direct competition with
the cheap 'peon" labor of Mexico, and he
asked for a duty according to the differ
ence in the cost Of labor and the interest
on capital invested. Three-fourths of the
cost Of the ore was labor and was en-
titled to protection. 1t would be greatly
unjust to reduce the duty and destroy the
industry.

The President's Selection to Succeed
Justice DlatchfOrd.

The New York World draws the following e
picture Of Mr.. Hornblower, the New York
lawyer nominated to succeed the late
Justice Blatchford:
1t is difficult to speak with certainty, but
1t is probable that Mr.. Hornblower is the
smallest man, physically, who has ever
been on the great bench. His smallness
fills the observer with astonishment. 1t
would seem that nature. seized with a
streak of economy, had made him with just
enough body to carry around his fine, big
head and all the brains therein. Mr. Horn
blower Is smaller even than Dan Lamont
He is almost as small as Eckels, controller
OF the currency. Eckels never really grew
up.
Why Frederick the Great, who was a
nttle man, should want big men around
him always. why Cleveland, who is a big
man. should select so many little fellows is
a problem that no man will solve until the
judgment day, when we shall all learn
more things than we shall be able to re-
member.
Mr.. Hornblower is a very small man. as
regards his body. He is not much taller
than medium-sized woman That is to
say, he comes about up to the shoulder of
man who is not very big.

NEW ORLEANS, Sept 2o.-The leading

lutions passed.

the state has been called for Monday in this
city, and from the indications serious trou-

jefferson parish has been declared under
martial law by its residents. The sheriff
judges. state senator's and representatives
are the leaders OF the regulators, together
with all other white officials. An newspa-
per men were conducted outside the lines
late last night and ordered TO remain away
in the future. 1t is impossible to learn
what is now going on, or whether the mur-
derer Julian has been captured or burned at
the stake. The line of sentinels along the
city boundary fired several shots about mid
night at persons who would not halt. II is
believed that the state troops will be called
out today.
Many of the white women and children
from Jefferson have come TO the city for
refuge. Bloodhounds from the penitentiary
were let loose this morning in the swamps
where II is thought the murderer is hiding
On the exact spot where Judge Estopinal fell
and died an iron stake has been driven
into the ground, to which he will be tied.
Fat pine and resinous materials surround
this. Long irons, like branding irons, are
In readiness, and when red hot, the man
will be tortured with them, while the fire

Waters to BE Strengthened.

Waters to BE strengthened.
Commodore Ramsay, acting secretary OF
the navy. says that he is almost certain
that the Charleston has left Montevideo. in
accordance with instructions, and is now in
the vicinity Of Rio de Janeiro IL she is not
already there. Her orders were to proceed
with dispatch, and 1t is reasonable to SUD-
pose she has done SO. She has had ample
time to coal and to repair any ordinary
damage to her steering apparatus which
was out OF order on her arrival at Monte
vloeo The Charleston will undoubtedly re-
main In Brazilian waters for the protection
Of American interests, at least until the
arrival of the flagship Newark. now fittinp
out at the Norfolk navy yard
The Newark will probably sail TODAY She
has yet no ammunition aboard, and Will
hrst go to Fort Wadsworth, New York
harbor, to fill her magazines prior to her
long voyage to Rio. She can load This
aboard In twentyfour hours, and IL is said
she will sail for the south by Saturday at
the latest.
The future movements Of the Detroit are
still in an unsettled state. Commodore
Ramsay said today the board will report in
day or two the forty-eight hour sea trial.
and the reason that she had not had IT as
soon as was expected was the wish Of the
department to give Capt. Brownson a
chance to shake her engines down and get
her In proper trim for the ordeal
while Navy Department officials express
ignorance OF any such intention, II is likely
that the Detroit will be made ready for a
long stay in Brazilian waters. Secretary
Herbert intends to strengthen the United
States naval forces in South American
waters, and with this in view he would
like to keep a ship permanently in the vfcin-
ity OF Rio Janeiro. just as the Yantic is
stationed In the Rio de la Platte The De-
troit is the vessel now available best suited
for that duty.

DISCLOSED A MURDER.
The Waters of San Francisco nay
Bring a Crime to Light.

SAN FRANCISCO. Sept. 2o.-FIve days
ago a woman's head was found near the
beach at Sausalito. in the suburbs Of this
city. The head bore several wounds, but it
was shown to be part Of body from a
dissecting room. A day or two later por-
tions of a woman's body: badly decomposed,
noated ashore near Oakland
Yesterday the head was identified as that
OF Miss Addie Gilmore, a comely young
milliner of Colusa, and the circumstances
that have since developed point to a crime
or a highly sensational character The
young woman owned a store at Colusa, but
about three weeks ago she came here and
went to work in a wholesale house She
was last seen alive September L. The minor
circumstances seem to make II plain that
the girl was victim Of malpractice, and
that her body was cut up and thrown into
the bay, with weights attached, but that
the fastenings were loosened and the corpse
drifted to shore.
The only clue to the murderer is the fact
that few days ago a boy called at the
Gilmore's mail

THE FIGHT is ON.
What the Repeal Men in the Senate
Expect to Do.
Nothing Developed I'm This Morning's
Proceedings-A Test Expected 10
be Made by Saturday.

There appeared to be q general expectae
ton when the Senate met this morning that
something was going to happen. and de-
velopments were awaited with interest.
The proceedings. however. began without
incident, and there was some disappoint-
ment on the part Of spectators. This grew
out Of a lack of knowledge on the part Of
the public as to the method OF procedure.
The suggestion made by Mr.. voorhees, yes
terday that he hoped to get the support Of
majority Of the Senate TO prolong the
sessions OF the Senate did not imply any
fight this morning over a motion for longer
sessions for the reason that no motion to
that purpose is necessary. The only thing
necessary to prolong the sessions is to hold
a qcorum and to vote down motions TO sd
journ. Therefore there was nothing at the
beginning OF the days work TO indicate that
the fight for vote was on Mr.. George
began bis speech at an early hour In the
many days past. as far as outward appear
ances were TO be taken for IT.
The Object Of the Repeal Men.
The fight is on, however, and Il is ex-
pected that this week will develop whether
or not the Voorhees, bill can ever be passed
without an amendment 1t is expected by
the repeal men that they will be able to
secure a longer session than usual today.
but they do not start out with the pur-
pose Of having a continuous session. The
idea is to sit until or O'Clock today, or
perhaps a little longer, and then tomorrow
to have a still longer session, and the next
day longer and finally to run into a con-
tinuous session.
II the bill can be passed IL is expected
that this will be demonstrated by Satur-
day, and II no progress toward a vote In
made by that time IL is said that IL Will be
regarded as evident that nothing can be
done except through compromise. and the
expectation is that in that event there will
be either a compromise adopted or the
whole matter will be sidetracked.
Eighteen Will Fflibuster.
According to the count of the repeal
men the silver men have about eighteen
Senators who viii flibuster as long as ne
cessary to defeat unconditional repeal Op-
Grating under the time-honored practices
Of the Senate this is a very strong force for
filibuster. A number of the repeal men
feel that there is very slim chance of
getting a vote by lengthening the sessions
but to make the effort is the only way to
test IL. If IL is shown beyond question that
a vote on unconditional repeal cannot be had
some of the repeal men will be wiling to
| try a compromise but the most determined
among them say that they will not talk
compromise until they have made the effort
to get vote without 1t and have failed.
1t looks today as II they might expect to
fnd themselves In about the same situation
at the close OF the session on Saturday
they are in today.
