THE OLD THEATER DISASTER.
The First Session Of the Special Committee
to be Held During the Holidays.
At First the Committee VIII Hold
Secret Sessions and Then Later
Witnesses VIII He Heard.

The select committee for the investiga-
ton of the Ford's Theater disaster, con-
sisting of Senators Harris, Faulkner, w hite
Mcmillan and Manderson, will probably
hold its first session during the Christmas
holidays. There is a delay in the issue of a
formal notice of the sessions owing to the
fact that clerk to the committee has not
yet been secured. Chairman Harris. how
ever, expects to get the man he wants to-
day and then the date and hour of the
first session will be announced. 1t is ex-
pected that Congress will adjourn for the
holidays on Thursday of this week and will
reconvene ON the 4th of January, just two
weeks later. In this fortnight a great deal
can be accomplished beyond a mere Or
ganization, but it is hardly hoped that the
committee can get well through it's work
for several weeks. The meetings will be
held in the large room devoted to the use
of the committee on the District of Column
bia and will probably be open, though this
is matter wholly within the Judgment OF
the committee.
1t is likely that the first sessions will
be private, as the resolutions under which
the committee is organized require tnat
the five Senators shall first determine the
liability of the government "in law equity
or justice" Tor the damages resulting from
the disaster. This being purely a Question
OF law or sentiment no testimony other
than that furnished by the statutes or by
recorded precedents will be necessary for its
determination. In the matter of damages

Thomas Staples Martin was born in Albe-
marie county nearly fcrty-six years ago.
where he has resided ever SINCE though
the demands of his law practice has of late
years Kept him as mt ch in Richmond and
other parts of the state as at home He
was educated at the Virginia Military
He served in the call of cadets in the
trenches around Richmond at the time Of
Lees surrender.
At the age of twenty-one. just as he was
entering the profession Of the law, the
death of his father, John s. Martin, oc-
CURED, leaving him the responsible head Of
the family.
Some ten or twelve years ago he began
to take an active part in politics, serving on
the state and executive committees as the
advisory friends Of the state chairman
His first prominent appearance in politics
was when he managed Senator Daniels
candidacy for the Senate in 1885, when he
was given the credit of having done more
than anyone else to elect him. He has never
held public office before. He has always
heretofore declined to allow the use Of his
name.
Mr. Martins personal character has al
ways been above the slightest reproach.
he Is born leader; ready debator in
court and an excellent jury lawyer, coupled
with well grounded knowledge Of the law,
he built up a large practice. For the past
several years he has been retained as coun-
sci by the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad
Mr.. Martin Is a man of exemplary ha hits
He has never touched hquor OF tobacco. He
Is bachelor. He is one of the most hos
pitabie or all men at his beautiful home
Fa1rview, In Albermarle county.
He has never been a society man and has
devoted his life to the support OF those de-
pendent upon him.
The home life Of Mr. Martin Is one Of the
brightest pages In his history. His mother,
two sisters and a brother reside with him.
He has married sister living In Albemarle
county, and three brothers residing in Rich
mond.
AS an illustration Of MIR. Martins char
acter. he was employed as sole counsel for
the state by the state debt commission and
acted for them in working out a solution of
that much vexed and long controverted
problem. For the services so rendered ne
refused all compensation and declined even
to be repaid his travelling expenses.
he has served on various boards OF state
institutions and is now a member of the
board OF visitors to the Virginia Military
Institute
1t is not expected that Mr. Martin will
make his permanent residence in Washing
ton when he assumes the duty Of Senator
on the 4th Of March, 1895, as his presence
Will be needed by his party in Virginia

ABOUT THE CABINET TABlE.
Important Questions Engross the Atten-
tion of the President and His Advisers.
The Tariff Recommendation OF Sec.
retary Carlfsle--PrOgress Of the In.
surgent Party I'm Brasil.

The meeting of the cabinet today was at
tended by all the members for the first time
in many weeks. Secretary Smiths child has
recovered from the scarlet fever and it is
no longer unsafe for him to meet his asso-
ciates around the cabinet table. The Ha-
waiian complication, the Brazilian question
and the tariff issue were topics of discus
sion. 1t is believed that the tariff question
engrossed the principal attention of the
cabinet, especially its treatment by the Sec
retary of the Treasury In his annual report
to Congress, which is to be made public to-
morrow. During the progress of the meet
ing Secretary Carlisle received a message
from Speaker Crisp and did not send his an
swer until he had conferred with the Presi-
dent and his colleagues. The correspond
ence probably related to the action of the
House on the Wilson tariff bill.
The revolution in Brazil presents numer-
GUS troublesome questions OF diplomatic and
comfy, the most important
Of which relates to the recognition Of the
insurgents as belligerents in the event OF
such action by other foreign governments.
1t is understood that the advisability OF
increasing our naval feet at Rio is being
seriously considered, and that IL is prac-
tically settled that the cruisers New York
and San Francisco will be util zed in the
event ii is deemed necessary to reinforce
the Charleston, Newark and Detroit, now
on the Brazilian station. Instructions have
been sent to Capt. Picking. commanding.
to observe a strict and imr artial neutral
ity between the two factions, and not to
interfere In any way except In SO far as
may be necessary for the protection Of
American interests and American COM
nerce. 1t is understood that the Secretary
of State has received reliable information
to the effect that the insurgents are stead
lily gaining in strength by accessions from
ho lo ~ fha Co.
are now more confident than ever of the
ultimate success of the revolution.

opposed to n Large Issue of Treasury
Notes to Carry on Public Works.
MASSiLON. Ohio, Dec. Ex-senator Sher-
man has written letter to the Evening
Independent, in which he discourses the
Coxey plan" for relieving the hard times
by the issuance Of $500, 200 600 in treasury
notes, the money to be expended In the con-
struction of roads, under the direction of
the Secretary of War.
The American Federation of Labor at
Chicago has indorsed this plan, and Mr..
Coxey is using his private means to pro-
mote its success.
Senator Sherman's letter follows:
1.-The pitiable state Of the laboring man
Of today Is caused by the threatened blow
at American industries by a free-trade
tariff. This undoubtedly has caused the
fearful distress prevailing in the country
The remedy proposed, of issuing $500, 900, 900
of United States notes. not redeemable in
coin, would be fearful failure
THE issue of such a mass of paper money
would restore the condition of affairs that
existed In 1887 and 1873. The true remedy
Is to insure the people good money, of un-
changeable value, based upon gold and sill
yer coin and to maintain American indus
tries by wise taxation on foreign produc-
tons that compete with our own

PROVIDENCE. r. l., Dec. 19.-The big
strike at Olneyville. the one at Central
Falls, which was allied with the one at
Olneyville and the incipient one undertaken
at the British hosiery works in Thornton
near Olneyville have all collapsed The
strike at Olneyville involved 5000 people,
the one at Central Falls 400 people and that
at Thornton 3OO
The big strike in Olneyville lasted ten
weeks and the people have suffered great
privations during the past five weeks, many
Of them being without food, fuel, clothing
and money. The Olneyville strikers have
gained concessions from the manufacturers
amounting to 1-2 per cent rebate from the
original cut Of more than 20 per cent These
concessions were made two weeks ago. but
were refused as insufficient, the strikers
hoping to gain more.
The conditions Of trade offered no hope
or the manufacturers getting orders to
force them to make greater concessions
and the dull business among workers else
where, who might have been depended on
for financial aid to them, and the deple-
ton OF their own treasury, forced the strik-
ers to submit to the terms they refused a
fortnight ago.

tist Church. Iast Sunday for the purpose of
having the ordinance of baptism admins

formed that the persons had not identified
themselves nor did not wish to identify
themselves with any particular church, but
simply wanted to be baptized, in order to
form themselves into a mission. Rev. Mr.
Gibbons informed them that II they wished
to unite with the church that he would bap-
tize them. and their plans to form a new
organization would receive due cons.dera-
ton from the church In the near future, but

usage Of the church and denomination

Do Not Find Approval at the Civil

its spirit whenever the opportunity affords.

main objections to the departments method
is that of certifying changes to the commits

certified to the commission as soon as made
The appointment division OF the Interior
has sent but two patches of certifica tions
These comprehended all changes which had
