NO HITCH LIKELY
In the Arrangement to Adjourn Congress
Tomorrow.
But the Senate Insists on Its Amend.
ment to the Urgent Deficiency Bill
rs to the Clerks Pay.

The House resolution providing for a
final adjournment Of Congress tomorrow af-
ternoon at o'clock was received in the
Senate this afternoon, and on motion Of
Senator German was referred to the ccm-
mittee on appropriations. This was done
because the committee on appropriations
has in charge the only business of urgency
that now promises to delay adjournment.
This is the urgent deficiency bill. which has
been in conference between the two houses
for some days.
Looking After the Clerks.
The Senate this morning voted to insist
still further upon its amendment to the bill
providing pay for certain clerks to Senators
under resolution Of 1890. These clerks
worked through the long session Of that
year and have never been paid for q part
Of the time. Since then the Senate has an
nually endeavored to pay them. but the
House has always objected. There have al
ready been two conferences on the bill and
another was ordered today. The Senate
does not seem in a mood to retire from its
amendment Several Senators having ex-
pressed their opinion that it was a question
Of honor on the part of the Senate that
should not be neglected.
Not Likely to BE a Hitch.
This is the only thing that stands in the
way OF an adjournment so far as the Sem
ate is concerned. The Chinese bill is likely
to be disposed Of today. and there is moth
ing else pending on which immediate action
Is required. Senator German this afternoon
said he did not think it likely that there
would be any hitch in the arrangement pro-
viding for an adjournment tomorrow af-
ternoon, but that the reference to the ap-
preparation committee of the resolution was
necessary as precaution to avoid inter-
ference with pending measures.

sian naval officers. The fleet will remain

OF the chamber Of deputies. who, in the
course Of his speech. declared that Corsica

land. he added. might be made impregnable
for the defense Of French territory in Al
geria. He said he hoped the Russians
would often visit Ajaccio.
Admiral Avelan made a brief reply. He
said that his attention had been drawn to
Ajaccio before he left Russia. He express
ed his qualification at the proposal that had
been made to erect a Russian Church in
the city, and said that Russia would con-
slider the matter. He promised that before

Ajaccio and make a long stay.
The city was prettily illuminated last

was a large torchlight procession. The
streets were crowded until a very late
hour, and great enthusiasm was manifested
py all the residents and the crowds OF
strangers who have f1ocked to the city to
take part In the friendly demonstrations
1t has been learned that the accident
that occurred yesterday on the Russian
warship Emperor Nicholas l., while she
was entering the harbor here, was due to
the explosion of carboy Of turpentine
Certain newspaper representatives, as soon
as 1t was known that an accident had oc-
CURED. jumped to the conclusion that II
was due to a break down Of the warship s
engines. and so teleCraphed to their papers
These stories had not the slightest founda-
ton. Two of the Russian sailors were suf-
focated, while the others in the place where
the explosion occurred were removed in an
unconscious condition.
1t is rumored here that the French and
Russian squadrons will shortly pay q
visit to Barcelona 1t is also stated that a

pared In Madrid.

RIFF SPIES CAPTURED.
spaniards Make a Successful sortie ~
Melilla.


MADRID, Nov. 2-Advices from Melilla
show that yesterday the Spaniards detected
eleven Rifr spies in the vicinity Of the forts.
A company of soldiers volunteered to make
a sally and attempt to capture them. The
troops made a sortie and the spies took to
their heels, lodging among the ROCKS ard
thus escaping the spies fired at them. Three
of the spies stumbled and before they cculd
get to their feet again they were made
prisoners.
forces, has dismissed the Moorish officials
In the custom house at Melilla. These dis
charged officials have taken refuge in Tan
gier.
The ministerial newspapers here censure
the French press for attacking England in
connection with the troubles in Morocco.
The French papers have more than h'nted
that the Riffs Save been melted 20 their
attacks upon the Spaniards by England.
The censure Of the Spanish papers Is prob-
ably due not to love of England, but to
the fear that the French attacks will preju-
dice Spains position by developing hatred
of that country.
A patriotic mass meeting was held in
MarseilleS last night, at which NJ Deloncle
a member Of the chamber Of deputies and a
well-known hater of England, presided.
The meeting adopted an address for presen-
tation to the Spanish minister In Paris
sympathizing with the Spaniards on the
reverses they nave met with at Melilla, and
recalling the heroism of Spain in connection
with the Caroline Islands dispute, which,
the address says. amazed the world The
address adds that in this dispute the
bravery Of the Spanish government resulted
in the defeat of the plan OF the Ger
man armies to get possession OF those is
lands. 1t further declares that 1t is the
conviction of those assembled at the meet
ing that the concentrating Of an English
naval squadron at Gibraltar will not pre-
vent the sons of the Cid from fulfilling their
traditional mission in Africa, and halls
beforehand the glorious successes which the
valiant Spanish army and navy will win

olate vote upon 1t. There was discussion
on the subject, which was partic,n. tea a.,

extraordinary proposition. on the ground
that the republican members of the com
mittee knew nothing about the bill being
prepared. and, in fact had no knowledge
that there was a bill being prepared, except
such es they derived from inference
Therefore they would have but a brief op-
portunity for examining the bill and would
be compelled to make report without
sufficient knowledge of or opportunity to
study the measure. He objected also that
the minority Of the committe would be
subject to the whim Of the majority, who
could call them back to Washington during
the recess and give them as short or as
long time as they deemed proper for the
examination of the question.
Mr. Wilson's Explanation.
Mr.. Wilson replied to this that the tariff
measure had become a political matter and
had so been considered by both democrats
and republicans in the preparation OF a BILL
He said the committee was working with
great care and diligence to prepare a bill
in accordance with the wishes Of the peo-
pie expressed at the polls at the last elec-
ton. The people of the country were eager
to know what the provisions OF the bill
would be and the purpose Of this resoiu-
ton was to give the committee an oppor-
tunity to complete their work and TO have
the bill ready on the calendar Of the House
for action as soon as Congress reconvencd
1t was the desire of the committee he
said, and the desire of the public that this
bill should be passed as quickly as pos
sible and the object Of the committee was
to facilitate the work.
Republicans Refrain From Voting.
At the close of Mr.. Wilson's speech Mr.
Reed made brief reply and a vote was
then taken on the report Of the committee
The republicans refrained from voting and
there not being a quorum Of democrats in
the chamber Mr.. Reed made the point Of
no quorum. A roll call was then ordered
and flibuster was In progress.

BERLIN, Nov. 2-The representative in

ton to deny on authority the dispatch sent
to the London Chronicle from Vienna to
the effect that Emperor William at Guens,

Archduke Albrecht OF Austria that Ger
many and Austria hold combined army
maneuvers in 1894 and that the armies of
the three nations forming the triple al
liance-Germany, Austria and Italy-hold
combined maneuvers in 1885.
The facts are that Emperor William in
tends that the German maneuvers in 1894
shall be held on the same scale as the re-
cent Austrian maneuvers at Guens, and
that the reserves shall take part in them.
The maneuvers will be held on the Austrian
frontier.
Emperor Francis Joseph. Archduke AL
brecht and the members Of the Austrian
general staff will be present as the guests
of Emperor William. This scheme was vir-
tually arranged at the recent visit to Pots

ed there to thank the emperor for appoint
ing him a field marshal
The army officials here ridicule the idea
that the armies of the three nations compos-
ing the triple alliance will hold joint maneu-
