WORK OF THE HOUSE.
The sundry Civil Bill Goes to COnfe-
renee Committee.

The sundry Civil Bill Goes to a Confe-
renee Committee.
WASHINGTON, Feb. Pin the House
the demand for the regular order by Mr..
Simpson blasted the hopes of number Of
gentlemen who desired to have their pei
bills passed during the closing hours Of
Congress.
Mr.. Peel moved to suspend the rule:
and pass the Indian appropriation bill
Although more than two-t thirds of the bill
had already been agreed to in committee
of the whole and though Mr.. Peel re-
quested that the reading of that part be
dispensed with, Mr.. Kilgore objected
and the clerk proceeded to read the bill in
extenso.
At the conclusion of the reading, the
anti-option bill came in for some talk
Mr.. Taylor of Illinois, said it was being
pressed on the Senate by the greatest
combination OF millers ever formed in the
world to limit the market.
Mr.. Coombs OF New York, sent to the
clerks desk and had read newspaper
dispatch from Mankato, Mimi. declar-
that the combination OF millers favor the
bill
Mr.. Hatch replied at some length and
said the bill would limit sales, not sales OF
wheat, but sales of wind on the Chicago
board of trade.
After some further badinage, the House
got back to business and passed the In
dian appropriation bill
Mr.. Holman moved a suspension of the
rules and non concurrence in all Senate
amendments to the sundry civil appropri-
alton bill. This gave rise to a brief dis
cuSsion of the Sherman bond amendment.
fNhar tho Home oorpod tn ~,
the Senate amendments and the bill was
sent to a conference committee. The ar
rangement is to use this non-concurrence
TO force the Senate to recede from action
on the Sherman bond amendment. 1t is
believed the amendment is not as strong
as it was in the Senate and that a bold
front on the part of the House will cause
the Senate to recede on that point in order
to get other amendments through.
Mr.. Wise moved to suspend the rules and
agree 20 the Senate amendment to the car
coupler bill.
Mr.. Richardson demanded a second
which after some delay was ordered. Mr..
Richardson then moved an adjournment
and on this motion the the yeas and nays
were ordered.
Then for some moments there was great
confusion and noise in the House which
compelled the speaker finally to state in
tones of stern reproof: Gentlemen must
understand this is the House OF Represen-
tatives and not a beer garden. - ZAP

The motion to adjourn was defeated

RIPPEY'S STATEMENT.
He Gives the Reason Why He Shot
Mackay.
Says He Knew Exactly What He Was
About and Only Regrets That He
Did Not Kill Him.

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 27.-The surgeon
in attendance on Mr.. Mackay says he is
getting along all right. Rippev, the old
man who shot him, is sinking rapidly and
surgeons have no hope of his recovery.
In an interview today Rippey said he was
sorry he had not made better job of the
shooting. He added: 81 am an old man,
70 years of age. and knew perfectly we'll
what was about when fired that shot.
At one time had over 5000, 900, but the
combination OF Fair, Flood and Mackay
caused me to lose it after it was invested
in stocks. That loss changed my whole
life.
"Instead of the hopeful, energetic man
l once was, | became a misanthrope,
avoided the society of my fellow men and
became stranded hulk in Pauper alley.
l may be wrong, but l think all rich men
like Mackay should be put out OF the way !;
l would do the same thing over again,
but next time with better success 1 Hope"
A fit of coughing interrupted the old
man and turning YEARLY over on his side,
he refused to say any more. Later he
talked Of his two boys in Cincinnati and
how he did not want them to be humili-
ated by anything he had done.

HoNoRs TO MORTON.
The yice-President rendered Compli-
mentary Dinner.


mentary Dinner.
| WASHINGTON, Feb. 27.-Vice- President
Morton was honored tonight as none OF
his predecessors have been. The entire
Senate without distinction OF party united
in rendering a complimentary dinner and
in bearing testimony to the admirable
manner in which he presided over the de-
alterations of the upper chamber of Con-
gress the past four years. Senator Man
derson presided and after addresses by
/ Senator'S Hale, Cockrell, Villas and others
the vice president responded. He said in
part:
'sI brought to the position very limited
experience and but little knowledge of
parliamentary law, for the lines ofmy life
have been cast in places where such
knowledge was not required. l felt the
full force OF my shortcomings, but relied
with trusting confidence upon the gentle
forebearance that has ever characterized
the Senate of the United States.
Experience has shown that my
trust had abundant foundation.
That have served the Senate acceptably
and am fain to believe so from the earnest
recognition you have given me here and
elsewhere, has been because of the gener-
GUS and unselfish support received by me
out distinction of party and without bias
! from political affiliations.
81 would be lacking in common sensi-
bility did l not feel overwhelmed with
gratitude and express in the strongest
words that my tongue, too feeble to ex-
press the full emotions of my heart is
capable of forming my sincere and hearty
thanks with which l acknowledge the
compliment so generously paid me. The
distinguished gentleman who will in a
few days succeed me has cause for con-
graduation and at the end of his service
will have like occasion for satisfaction
that the support and countenance ever
accorded to its presiding officer by the
Senate will De his, rendering the per-
Torrance of grave and important duty
pleasant and attractive Junction.
The presidents health was drunk in
silence after touching allusion had been
made to his domestic affection by Sen
ator Evarts, who also made happy re-
marks regarding the outgoing vice-presi-
dent. A number of other senators also
spoke.

experienced will reach Washington about
q p. m. Mr.. Stevenson adhered during
the day to his determination to make no
speeches on the train. At all points
where the train stopped the Democracy
was assembled in large numbers.
At Defiance, o., John Scholey, an old
time Democrat, presented Mr.. Stevenson
with a hickory cane of fantastic
design, on behalf of the Demo-
Gratis of the western reserve of Ohio,
saying that they desired him to carry
it to the Inauguration. Scholey said he
made it himself and had been keeping it a
long time until Democratic president or
vice. president OF the Old Hickory kind
should pass this way
Mr.. Stevenson said he would take care
of it as long as he lived and give it to his
children after him that they might re-
member the incident with pleasure. The
only startling incident OF the day occurred
at Brighton Park, where two of the cooks
left the dining car to get some charcoal
and were left behind by the sudden de-
parture of the train. The commissary
department, however, proved equal to the
emergency, and no serious results fol-
lowed.

CARTER HARRISON VICTORIOUS.

He Secures Enough Delegates to NOmi-
nate Him for Mayor of Chicago.
CHICAGO, Feb. 27,-One of the bitterest
political fights Chicago has had in recent
years was in the Democratic primaries
today. The struggle was between Carter
Il. Harrison, ex-mayor and at present
editor of the Times, and Washington
Messing, proprietor of the Stats Zeittalg,
one of the most Influential German news
papers in the west. The plum so eagerly
sought by the rival editors was the Demo-
cratic nomination for mayor in tomor-
rows convention. Both men had their
supporters hard at work for several weeks
and the fight reached a bitter climax
today at the primaries.
There were no serious rows, but numer-
Gus instances of cracked heads and
punched noses. The result OF the days
work was the heaviest vote ever polled at
Democratic primaries in this city. At
midnight it seems certain that Harrison
has at least thirds of the delegates to
the convention and is practically certain
OF the nomination.
LATER-Totals are: Harrison 512 dele
gates, Hesslng 1863.

BOISE, Ida, Feb. 27.-[Special. lin
the senate MIR. Stewart, OF Ada, intro
duced an apportionment bill providing
Tor twenty senators and forty-three rep
resentatives. The senate killed num-
Der of house bills, the most important

The house passed two important senate

years caused much expensive litigation.
1t makes the state board original asses

other measure makes silver legal tender

fatal blow to the gold contract system.
Among other house bills passed was one
locating a school of mines at Ceur

Figaro Reveals Much of DeLesseps' TestI-
mony Withheld by the Court.
PARIS, Feb. 27.-FIgaro processes to re-
veal the sensational points elected by Elk
amining Magistrate Franqueville during
the recent examinations of Charles de
Lesseps. Figaro states that De Lesseps
testified that owing to the urgency of the
late minister of war, DeFreycinet, late
president of the chamber of deputies,
Floquet, and of ClemenceaU, he yielded to
demands for money by the late Baron
Reinach and Cornelius Herr, Reinach
having threatened IN 1888 to bring public
suit against the Panama Canal company,
exposures attending which might have
proved highly disastrous to the company.
Figaro goes on to state that when Frey
cinet was questioned by Franqueville as
to this Freycinet admitted that he en-
ployed his influence TO dissaude DeLesseps
from mourning the risk of lawsuit which
would be likely to have damaging conse-
uuences for the canal.
Floquet denied altogether the truth of
the statement as far as it affected him.
The report in Figaro occasions consider
able comment in view of the intimacy be-
tween Freyeinet and Herr.

him, except that l defeated him fairly
and souarely. and l thought at the time
he was going to accept the outcome like
a true sportsman, but it has turned out
differently, and he is beneath my notice.
He is back number, and that will do
him.
My match with Mitchell is sure go and
if anyone thinks l shall have a walk-over
just tell them they are liable to be off
their reckoning. The Englishman will
give me harder battle than Sullivan did
or Jackson can. He is clever and full of
science. He is hard hitter and some
people say he hits harder than do, but
for all that believe | can best him.
There is no doubt about his wanting to
fight. His money is up, papers and agree
ments are completed and don't think he
is either afraid or wants to back out. Ii
he does not fight why he will be hooted
out of every square ring in the country.
My money is still up for match with
Peter Jackson. If I've got to fight Jack
son | want to know it as soon as possible,
so | may make theatrical arrangements
accordingly. l will give him q show of
time in which to make arrangements, but
L want to know in plenty of time.''

BURIED BYFALLING WALLS.
A Terrible Disaster in Chicago
This Morning.
EN- PEOPLE ARE KILLED.
A Five Story Building COllapses in a
Furious Gale.
Without Warning the Walls Fall and an
Adjoining House Occupied by Two
Families are Buried-The
Ruins Take Fire.

CHICAGO, Feb. 28.-At 1:45 this (Tues-
day. morning the wall of the York store
in South Halstead street, which was re-
Gently burned, was blown down by a
furious gale that blew up about that
time, and fell on the house adjoining
which was occupied by the families of
John Smith, saloon keeper, and James
Kunze, jeweler. Ten people were buried
by the falling wall. They are:
JOHN SMITH.
DoLLIE SMITH, his daughter, 10 years
of age.
s'BAB' SMITH, son, aged 10.
HATTIE SMITH, daughter, years.
PAULINE, a domestic in the Smith
family.
JAMES KUNzE.
Mrs. JAMES KUNZE.
Son OF KUNzE, u years of age.
MRS. CARRIE SMITH.
JOE WILLIAMS, bartender.
The building which collapsed was
owned by John York, large dealer in
dry goods, and was destroyed by fire a
few weeks ago. 1t was FIVE stories high.
York began rebuilding after the fire. and
as not all of the walls were down, he
built new wells on top of what remained
of the old ones. 1t is supposed the green
walls were not sufficiently braced. The
weather during the early part Of the even
ing was calm, with a light rainfall.
About IL O'Clock the rain ceased and the
wind began to come up, and by midnight
or shortly after it had increased to gale.
a policeman on the beat noticed the
wall of the building shaking In the high
wind, and going to patrol box informed
his station. He was told to watch it
closely, and if there appeared any danger
OF its falling to warn the occupants of
neighboring buildings to move out at
once. He turned back, but was still
some distance from the building, when
with an awful crash the wall came down.
An awful shiek arose from the building
occupied by the unfortunate victims, and
all was over. The ruins of the demol-
ished buildings caught FIRE from the
stoves, but the fire department, which
were quickly on the scene, subdued the
flames with little difficulty. The police
and fremen then began digging in the
debris.
After some time Fred Kunze was gotten
out badly injured, but it is thought he
will recover. He was dazed and OF course
knew nothing about the inmates of the
house. Search was continued, large
additional force of firemen being sum-
moned, but up to 3:15 this morning no
more have been taken out. 1t is thought
now hardly probable that any of the I'M
fortunates still in the ruins will be rescued
alive.

A PLAN UPSET.
wyoming Republicans Called Down on
One of Their Games.

CHErENNE, Wy, Feb. 27.-[special. j
Governor Osborne. who was ready to
start for Washington this morning to at
tend the inaugural ceremonies, decided
to remain IN the state in order to upset
plans made by the Republicans to create
basis for a contest in the Senate against

state, Secretary Barber, who would be-
come acting governor, during his alb
sence, It was said, would have appointed
Senator Warren on March to fill the va
cancy for the next two years and thus
afford Warren an opportunity to contest
Beczwith's right to the place. Senator
Beckwith left for Washington today.

DEMOCRATIC CLUBS.
The National Association Issues an Adj
dress to the People.

dress to the People.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 27.-The National
Association of Democratic clubs tonight
issued a lengthy address to the people, in
which, after referring to the work of the
past and the Democratic triumph last No.
vember, it says: SIN spite of that victory
there are enormously rich benefciaries of
the federal policy of taxing many for the
benefit of the few. At every point tariff
reform as contemplated by the Demo
cratic party and maj GRITTY of the people
will only be accomplished after a fierce
and prolonged struggle. The people, it is
true, have selected an executive and Con-
gress to make this battle for them, but
the battle is to be made and is yet to be
won. Everything substantial remains to
this hour with the enemy, including the
vast wealth OF monopoly. a combination
which is increased every day. Monopoly
laws stand unrepealed.'
The object of the address is to urge
Democratic people and those who united
with them at the election in November
last to maintain perfect and extended
system of affiliated Democratic societies
whose recent service to the great cause
was so conspicuous as to be known of all
men and which must, until the fruits of
the late victory are gathered and garn-
cred, be required to uphold the hands of
official representatives in the long and
desperate struggle with private interests
still before them.
a Democratic president and Democratic
Congress will need in the next four years,
more than ever before, the support of a
vigilant party and an aroused people rep
resented in perfect organization whose
principles are beyond any possible ques-
ton. A miscarriage in the elections of
1894, a failure to return another large
tariff reform majority would be calam-
ity OF crushing magnitude.
Against it we can have no assurance
except in a system of Democratic clubs,
well organized, active and aggressive in
every state and district where contest is
to be made and their union in state and
national associations.

THE SHERIDAN AMENDMENT.

Two Views Obtain in the Senate Regard
ing theaBondl Question.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 27.-Two views
relative to the Sherman bond amendment
obtain in the senate. The indications
are, however, that the senate will recede
from its amendment in this particular,
and the result Of the struggle will be that
the sundry civil bill will be passed with
out this amendment attached to it.
Mr.. Teller, one of the most ardent OF
the anti bond faction, said this evening
there was very visible weakening of the
forces that passed the amendment when
it was up for consideration.
1t is also said that word has come from
Mr.. Cleveland that he would rather see
the sundry civil bill law than have it
imperiled by any attempt to force the
bond question.

or territory except the state of Florida.
The amendment was agreed to but the
resolution went over.

THE DRAIN OF GOLD.

Treasurer Nebeker Says 1t Is Scheme of
Stock Jobbers.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 27.-Treasurer Neb-
eker, in speaking of the drain of gold
that has been going on for the past year
or more, said it was largely the work Of
spectators on the New York Stock ex-
change. The export of gold had the eff
feet OF bearing stocks, and by selling
stocks and then exporting gold, profit
was made on the stocks that not only
compensated for the freight charges, in
surance, etc., on the gold shipped, but
left profit. Then, too, as France and
Austria were in the market after gold,
specie found ready sale on the other
side.
