IN THE SENATE.
A Bill Passes to Protect Seals in the
North Pacific Ocaan

A Bill Passes to Protect Seals in the
North Pacific Ocean.
In the Senate-Mr. Sherman, from the
committee on foreign relations, reported
back his bill to extend to the North Paci-
fic ocean the provisions of the statutes for
the protection of seals and other fur
bearing animals. The bill was passed.
Mr.. Sherman, in making his report, ex-
planned, that in view of any Judgment
which may be made by tribunal of arbi-
tration next summer in regard to seals, It
will be necessary to authorize the Presi-
dent to present the law, which only ap-
piled to the Behring sea, to the North Pa
clfic ocean.
Mr.. Morrill, of Vermont, moved that the
Joint resolution, introduced by Mr.. Nc
Pherson to suspend the purchase Of silver
bullion, be referred to the committee on
finance.
Mr. Stewart of Nevada, opposed the
motion on the ground that several sena-
tors desired to reply to Mr.. McPherson's
speech, and inquired whether the motion
was open to debate.
The ce-president. said it was when
Mr.. Stewart said he would like to make
few remarks on the subject.
Mr.. Teller asked Mr.. Morrell to with
draw his motion in the interest of fair
discussion; but Mr.. Morrell saidshe made
the motion at the request of Mr.. Nc
Pherson and mad no interest in the matter
personally.
After the McGarrahan bill was taken
up and Mr.. Mills delivered a speech
against it. The bill went over till Mon
day, and the anti-option bill was taken
up.
At2 p. m. the anti-option bill was taken
up, the pending question being the
amendment offered by Mr.. White of Lou
isiana to strike out the provision of sec
tion 2, s'that contract or agreement will
not be made or settled for by delivery or
settlement of a difference or by any other
mode of performance or settlement, in or
upon any board of trade,'' etc. The
amendment was rejected-yeas 10, nays
$3.50 the provision was retained in the
bill.
Mr.. Villas of Wisconsin moved to amend
the second section by adding the words,
''and does not in good faith involve the
purchase and delivery of articles con-
tracted to be sold and delivered according
to the forms and requirements of such
contract He said the purpose of the
amendment was to distinguish legitimate
transactions from gambling operations
Mr.. Washburn said he was satisfied,
the effect of the amendment would be
disastrous to the bill and absolutely de-
stroy its purpose. Mr. White supported
the amendment and Mr.. George of Mis-
sissippi opposed it. Mr.. Palmer OF Hi
nois spoke against the bill generally, and
Mr.. Villas spoke in explanation and sup
port of his amendment, and denied that it
would defeat the object of the BILL After
further discussion the amendment went
over without action.

The st. Louis House at Duluth Totally
Destroyed-Nlany Narrow Escapes.
DULUTH, Mimi, Jan. 13.-The st.
Louis hotel burned to the ground today
and the adjoining property was badly
damaged. The fire started in the base
ment of the st. Louis and was caused
probably by a leaky gas meter. The flames
spread with great rapidity and many
guests had great difficulty in escaping.
There were many narrow escapes and
many were slightly injured by breaking
through the windows to reach the fire es-
capes. Several ladies made their escape
very lightly clad and suffered Sc
verely from the cold. 1t was re-
ported at the first four or five
lives were lost, but later this was contra
dicted. Late this evening, however, Con-
ductor Schafer OF the $500 line reports
that Brakeman Preston and Baggageman
Body, who roomed together at the hotel
are missing and there is little doubt but
they have persisted. 1t is also feared that
a scrub woman, name unknown, per-
ished. The Brighton hotel next door and
other property in the immediate vicinity
suffered considerable damage from heat
and smoke. The losses aggregate about
$40, 600, of which about SOC, 600 is on the
st. Louis.

HOMESTEAD POISONING.
Physicians Express Belief That the Men
Were Poisoned.

Physicians Express Belief That the Men
Were Poisoned.
PTrrsBURG, Jan. 13.-The court was
crowded at the second day of the trisl of
Hugh Dempsey for completely in the
Homestead poisoning. Most of the fore
noon session was taken up with the ex-
animation of men, taken i'll while work
ing at Homestead, and their physicians.
OF the latter all express belief that the
men had been poisoned. The defense OBJ
jected to the physicians testimony. The
court said the proceedings were somewhat
irregular, but il it could be proven that
the defendant was guilty of furnishing
poison. the evidence would be admissible.
The district attorney said he would show
this fact and the testimony was admitted.
At the afternoon session several wit
nesSes testified having been seized with
a sudden and severe illness after eating in
the Homestead mill. DR.. III. S. McGeary,
who treated William H. Johnston, one of
the witnesses, said arsenical poisoning
alone would produce such marked symp-
toms as Johnston IS case presented. Wit
ness also attended Benjamin Weaver. an
other witness, whose symptoms he said
could be produced only by some strong
irritant poison.
DR.. A. P. Fogelman, who attended other
witnesses, testified that the cases did not
yield to treatment as they should have
done. He said the symptoms in the dis
eases could have been produced by some
corrosive poison. On cross-examination
witness said: Cooking food in large
quantities, and drinking water such as
the men were not used to, and climatic
changes would tend to produce a disease
similar to that which affected the men. -
The doctors testified that they strongly
suspected man named Van Weinkle had
died OF arsenical poisoning. Court then
adjourned till Monday.

Bullion Again Discussed-The
McGarrahan Claim.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 49, Especial =
The action of the Democratic members of
the House Territories committee on We'd
nesday last, in agreeing to favor a bill
giving an enabling act to Utah, will be
followed at the regular meeting of the
committee on Wednesday next by formal
report favoring the proposition. All the
Democratic members OF the committee
will vote for a favorable report, and
Judge from what some of the Republican
mem ers of the committee say that some
of them will also join with the Democrats
in doing this tardy Justice to Utah. There
is no doubt the bill will pass the House
and that it will receive quite ReppbI-
can support if the committee on terrific
ries can secure day before the close of
the session.
What the Senate will do with the meas
ure is problematical. There is an I'M
doubted majority in that body who favor
statehood for Utah, but whether they will
have an opportunity to vote on the prop
osition is a little doubtful. Mr.. Platt,
the chairman of the Senate territorial
committee, will not give Utah statehood
at this session if he can help it, and the
chairman of the committee is a very i'm
portant person when it comes to sup
pressing legislation to which he is inim-
zeal.
The sentiment in favor of statehood for
Utah has steadily grown during the past
six weeks, and it is safe assertion that
if a bill of this character comes before the
Senate it would probably pass with prac-
tical unanimity. 1t certainly would If
the Senate territories committee could be
induced to make favorable report upon

The Doctors Report 1t About the Same as
Yesterday.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 13.-The symptoms
of difficult breathing which caused the
hasty summons of physicians to Blaine's
bedside about midnight did not develop
into anything alarming. DR.. Hyatt re-
manned TIL after five O'Clock, to be ready
in case of sudden emergency but none
arose. Blaine passed a comfortable night
and there is no notable change in his con-
diticn this morning.
DR.. johnson after call at II this
morning. stated that Blaine did not ap-
pear so well. Being asked If Blaine had
recovered the strength lost from his re-
lapse last night, the doctor said Mr..
Blaine did not have relapse but simply
suffered difficulty of respiration.
Representatives of the press were told
this evening that Blaine was about the
same. Doctors Johnston and Hyatt
called about 8 % clock and after remaining
with the patient q quarter of an hour
left. Doctor Johnston said Blaine was
languid and weak during the day but
otherwise there was no change in his
to the house between IL and Il O'Clock
and remain the remainder of the night.
This indicates that Blaine's condition is
again critical in the extreme.
At a. m. no sign of change in Blaine's
condition and so far as known the situa-
ton at Mr.. sBlaine's house is not changed
since DR.. Johnson's arrival shortly after
midnight. All was quiet at this morn

Seventeen Persons Seriously Injured in a
Collision at Chicago.
CHICAGO, Jan. 13.-The accommoda-
ton train on the Chicago & Eastern Hi
nois road was telescoped in this city to-
night by Chicago & Erie through train
to New York. The engineer of the ex-
press believed he had a clear track, as
was usually the case, but the accommo-
dation train was delayed and when its
engineer saw the ex 9ress coming he tried
to escape, but the track was slippery, the
train did not readily respond and the ex-
press crushed into it, knocking the &C.
commodation fifty feet forward and
crushing the platform and end of the rear
car into kindling wood and causing it to
telescope the one ahead of it, and that in
turn crushed into the end of the forward
coach as far as the fifth seat.
Nobody was killed but John Redmond :,
private. Company D, infantry. United
States army, who was fatally injured
internally. The others injured were all
residents of Chicago and number seven
teen persons. While none are considered
fatally injured some are suffering from
severe injuries and nearly all are badly
injured by being bruised.

twenty-three and representatives to forty
eight. The present apporJionment caves

SUNDAY OPENING.
The Hearing Continued Before the Worlds

Fair Committee.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 13.-The World 8
fair Sunday opening hearings went on
before the Worlds ColuNbian commit
tee. Rev. Dr. Douley, representing the
cities of Scranton and Wilxesbarre, Pa :,
presented petitions sixty-fve feet in
length against Sunday opening. He read
a letter from Governor Pattison express
ing his hearty approval of Sunday closing
and said the Worlds Fair commission
and the State of Pennsylvania in general
voted the same. Thomas Morgan, chair
man of the special committee OF the Chi
cago Trade and Labor Assembly, ap-
pointed to aid the cause of Sunday open
ing for the other side, said they had only
four weeks in which to work and had re-
ceived response from $40 labor organiza-
tions representing almost every city in
the United States, all favorable to Sunday
opening. In addition he represented the
great American Turner Bund, which had
petitioned 185 Congressman through dis
tric. organizations and also the German
saloon keepers association OF Chicago,
a statement which Rev. Joseph Cook and
other Sunday closers greeted with jubi-
liant cries of 'tHear, hear Mr.. Nor
gan denied emphatically that clergymen
had any authority for the statement that
workingmen were against Sunday open
ing.
Rev Dr. Thomas of Chicago argued
that the matter of going to the Worlds
fair on Sunday should be left to each per-
sons conscience. Sunday opening was
not dissertation OF the Sabbath as assumed
by the other side. business and pleasure
were inseparable from any great move
ment or enterprise, but the fair was not a
business project or vast show; the fair
was school and church for the exhibi-
ton of nature and mans progress, and
appealed to the intellectual and moral life
OF the nation.

His Nomination Was Confirmed by the
Senate Yesterday.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 13.-[Special. +
Mr.. Bartch's troubles are over. The
opposition to him at home, such as
it was, proved unavailing, and at
the executive session today he. was con-
firmed without single protest. This
was the only nomination taken up and
considered at today's session.
Senator Hoar, the chairman of the
Judiciary committee, to whom the nomi-
nation was referred, evidently was not
influenced by the objections to Mr.
Bartch that have reached here from Salt
Lake.
Mr. Hoar was entirely satisfied of Mr..
Bartch's fitness for the place and he
felt, too, that the vacancy ought to be
filled at the earliest moment.
As soon as the Senate went into execu-
tive session today. Mr.. Hoar called up
Mr.. Bartch's case and moved that he be
confirmed. There was no opposition and
it was all over in the brief space of sixty
seconds.
If any protest was telegraphed / can
get no trace of it and 1 have inquired
diligently for it.
