The Governor and His Wife Turn
over All Their Property.
CLEVELAND, O., Feb. 22-Gov. McKin-
ley has been in the city all the week enc
deavoring to bring about some adjustment
of his tangled affairs To-day the follow
ing plan as decided upon: The governor

Judge Day of Canton, o. The property ia
turned over without preference Tor the
equal benefit of his creditors.
Mrs. Mckinley has considerable property
of her own which she has all along desired
to turn over to be used in paying the notes
that Gov. Mckinley must meet. Her
friends have urged her to retain an interest
in the property, out she has steadfastly re-
fused to listen to any argument, and to-day
executed a deed to III. A. Haun Of this city
putting all her property In his hands. He
is to do with it whatever he thinks best
toward settling up the obligations incurred
in the Walker Endorsement.

options bill and was on the floor, shook with

after few words Of private explanation
from Speaker Crisp
The general debate was limited to three
hours and Mr.. Peel. chairman Of the com

members OF the House were worn out and
tagged from last nights session. Many OF
them left the building after the general

very few exceptions, took only very languid
interest in the proceedings. Finally the gen
eral debate closed.

CONGRESS BEHINDHAND.
ONLY ONE OF TIE APP REPUTATION
BILLS a Law AS YET.

Twelve More Must Be Sent to the
President for His signature During
the Remaining Nine Days CT the
Sess.on-One or Two Lively Debates
Probable.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 22.-Counting March
4 as full day there remains only nine
more days before the expiration OF this
congress and the amount Of work before
the two houses to be accomplished within
that short time is not at all cheering to those
legislators whose hours are slipping and ap-
parently so little being done. Up to the
pre,ent time but one OF the thirteen
regular appropriation bills has
passed both houses and that Is
not yet q law, for 1t has not received the
Ri9nature Of the President. The House ap,
pears TO be in better shape than the Senate,
despite the reputation Of the latter body for
expeditlous work, but a halt Will probably
be reached in the House when the sundry
civil bill arrives there, particularly II the
Sherman bond issue amendment, which was
enRrafted on that bill, precipitates silver
debate. and members of the House see ne,
as they probably will, to renew the worlds
fair discussion. So far the House has passed
all the approximation bills, but the Indian
bill. which is now under discussion, the
postoffice bill having been completed this
morning. The appropriation bills have,
however, in some instances been so changed
in the Senate that there can hardly be any
doubt that when they return to the House
they will be subjected 20 close scrutiny
and more or less debate. Perfunctory dis
agreement and the appointment of conferees
will not, it is said, be the rule in the case OF
some of these bills.
THE SITUATION IN THE SENATE.
In the Senate to-day the conference re-
port on the army bill was agreed upon. and
che only bill that now remains in confer
ence is that carrying appropriations for the
District of Columbia. The Senate finished
the sundry civil bill this afternoon. and
there is then before 1t the military academy
bill, consular and diplomatic bill and legls-
lative bill, all of which have been reported
to the Senate. The changes in the first two
named are but trihing. and they will be
passed in a few minutes. The legis-
latve bill may be the cause of
some debate. The committee OF the Senate
10 still engaged with the naval, pension, ag-
ricultursl and deficiency bills, enough TO
keep 1t busy every hour Of the time that
yet remains to it's credit this session.
The debate that the sundry civil bill is
bound to inaugurate in the House, and the
numerous conference reports that remain TO
be acted upon, creates gloomy outlook for
members of the appropriations committees
of the two houses, TO say nothing OF other
important matters of legislation which
committees are urging for consideration.
The indications are that some of these i'm
portant appropriation bills will not be
signed until congress is in the Uhroes attend
ing It's dissolution.

TWO DEFEATS FOR HATCH
TIE HOUSE TWICE REFUSES TO
TAKE UP HIS HOBBY.

The First Vote Against Him stood
14l to "a and the second 1875 to
75-The Votes Considered a Refsc-
ton Of the Adverse influence Of the
! Incoming Administration.
! WASHINGTON, Feb. 22.-The severe de-
/ feat suffered by Representative Hatch to-
day in trying to call up the anti-option bill
was hailed with great delight by its op-
/ ponents. Twice he moved to go into com
mittee of the whole to consider revenue
bills and twice he was outvoted-the first
time 141 TO GA and the second time 125 70 20.
/ The opponents of the bill declare that while
this vote VAS not an exact test, it shows the
influence Of the known opposition of Mr..
Cleveland and J. Sterling Morton, the
new Secretary Of Agriculture, and
that it puts the mark of defeat
upon the bill. Members who had the
courage to vote to-day against taking the
measure 10, they say. will soon have the
courage to go farther and vote squarely
against the bill if it comes to vote. Mr..
Warner Of New York, who has been one of
the most earnest opponents of the measure,
is not. however, disposed 10 be oversaDguine
too early 10 the fight. He says 1t Is still OF
great Importance that members of the bust
ness community should make an ef-
fort 10 reach their representatives,
convince them of the folly Of
the measure and stimulate them
| to fight against 1t through the remaining
nine days OF the session. He thinks that
! Mr.. Hatch may yet prevail with his motion
to go into committee of the whole and he is
| willing TO submit to this if there is oppor.
tunity for ample debate on the merits OF the
| bill.
| CANNOT LIMIT THE DEBATE.
| No limit can be put upon the debate in
committee Of the whole and those who
are flghting the anti-options bill will ex-
| haust every parliamentary resource to pre-
vent the Adoption Of limit by the House.
| There is little doubt OF their
of them are on the ground and are making
| a strenuous effort to defeat the bill. The
consumption Of single day IN debate or IN
useless filibustering would soon bring the
| appropriations committee to the rescue with
| the declaration that they could not afford to
waste any more valuable time on measure
| SO strongly opposed as the anti-optlou bill,
aud 80 distasteful 70 the incoming admins
tration. Another rift OF hope for Mr..
| Hatch is In the opportunity TO suspend the
rules during next week. This will require
two>tnrds vote and such vote cannot be
| obtained unless the members blunder III
making pairs. Every opponent Of the bill
who pairs on even terms with one of its
friends throws away half his vote by reduc-
| ing the total VOTE of which two-thirds are
| necessary to pass the bill. Members have
| been known to make this blunder in pairing
on other measures requiring two-thirds
| vote, and unless close watch is kept some of
them may do 80 on this bill. The number
of votes necessary to defeat it in a full House
is Ill, and there is no doubt that this
number OF members is opposed TO the bill.

Clair told him that it had to be done

forward to cut the royal sheet, this
being st. Glars scheme to bring the
second mate forward. He did not cut
the sheet, he says, but Stacked it away

forward TO his death.
After the murder the other mutt

Hansen says, were the only men will

Thomas Green, one of the conspira
tors, ran into the forecastle and
stayed there until he was called out

Green declares that he is innocent

PIRATES IN PRISON.
The Hesper Murderers in High
Spirits.

The following is taken from the
San Francisco Chronicle of late
date. It refers to the notorious
crew of the bark Hesper, the par
ticulars of whose bloody act has
appeared in the ADVERTISER
Among the inmates of the County
Jail yesterday there were none better
nstured or more jovial than the five
sailors charged with the murder of
Morris Fitzgerald, second mate of
the bark Hesper, who was killed on
the high seas by mutinous crew.
The five pirates to a man declared
that the city and county was giving
them better fare than they had been
getting at sea, and besides this they
found no little pleasure in stretching
legs and arms that had been so long
in irons.
The jail officials deemed it advis-
able to separate the prisoners. rhos.
ST. Clair, the leader of the gang who
sought to kill off the Hesper's officers
and become a pirate chief, was put
into cell by himself Herman
Sparf, st. Glars willing lieutenant,
was in an adjoining cell. Hans
Hansen, who stood by with Sparf
when st. Clair Drained the second
mate, and Thomas Green were in q
cell directly across the corridor. Ed
ward Larson was thrown into cell
with two other murderers.
Not one of the prisoners seems to
appreciate the enormity of the crime
charged They talked freely yester-
day of the murder, and laughed over
their failure to secure the Hesper
and convert her into pirate craft.
Among the five men, however, there
is no intellect too dull to attempt TO
throw the burden of the crime upon
other heads. ST. Clair, in his talk,
insists that the murder Of Fitzgerald
was the result of a conspiracy favored
by every sailor in the forecastle. On
the other hand, his four accomplices
declare that he was the leading spirit
and that it was he who planned and
executed the murder.
Hansen told a reporter that the
idea of killing the bark's officers was
first mooted about two weeks after
the vessel cleared from the port of
Newcastle. st. Clair began the talk
He and Sparf then exhibited two re
volvers and an ak. This was during
talk in the forecastle at night time,
when the watch below was complain
ing of ill-treatment. Sparf, Hansen
says, declared that they ought to do
away with the second mate.
