WASHINGTON, D. c., January 15.-The
week promises to be eventful in the Sen
ate Save the passage of the quarantine
bill, the Senate has accomplished very lit
tie, and not one of the annual appropria-
tion bills has been passed. The Committee
on Order of Business has determined that
something must be done to advance busi-
ness. 1t was at the suggestion Of Mr. Sher-
man, chairman of that committee, that Mr..
Washburne gave notice that he would ask
the Senate to sit next Wednesday until the
anti-options bill is disposed Of. That this
can be done without bitter struggle is not
expected.
What will follow the anti-options bill
will be decided by the Committee on Order
of Business before Wednesday. At pres
ent the indications are that priority will
lie between some of the Interstate COM
merce bills Gf Senator Cullom is able to
sumo his duties), the Nicaragua canal bill,
and perhaps resolution to repeal the sill
yer purchase act.

Tomorrow is suspension day. Efforts

Office report and the bill for the election of
Senators by the people by a two-thirds
vote The majority OF the rules committee
has decided to allot Tuesday to bills COM
ing from the judiciary committee; Wednes-
day to the immigration bill; Thursday and
Saturday to bills originating with the for
eigu committee and interstate commerce;
Friday under the regular rules IS private
bill day.
There is some opposition to the immigra-
ton bill and it is hardly likely that one
day will suffice for its passage.
The friends of the quarantine
DILL reported by the Committee
on Foreign and interstate Commerce,
which bill it is contended meets all the
evils as to cholera, which the immigration
bill was designed to remedy, are opposed
to the immigration bill. The quarantine
bill was antsgonized very strongly by the
State quarantine officers Of New York but
at least part of this opposition was with
drawn. There is probability OF some
trouble for each of these bills from the op.
position of members who favor the other of
the two measures.
The Commerce Committee has a formid-
able list of measures which 1t hopes to
pass, headed by the omnibus lighthouse
bin and the bill for the erection Of couple
of additional revenue cutters. The CON-
mittee is also anxious TO pass two bills
amendatory of the interstate commerce
act, which will be reported TO the House
during the week by Chairman Wise, Of
Virginia, to meet the Counselman case
and the Gresham decision and to allow
railroads to pool under the contest Of the
Interstate Commerce Commission.

BLEEDING KANSAS.

An .Amistice Declared Over supday--No
Immediate Prospect oil settlement
socKless Jerry Out OF IL.
TOPEKA, KAs., January l5.-Many OF the
warning statesmen are spending Sunday
with their families, and the city is enjoying
the first quiet day it has experienced for
nearly two weeks. The armistice declared
yesterday afternoon has furnished great
ly needed breathing spell. and the situation
Is being reviewed calmly and apart
from the exciting events that have been
transpiring hourly for the past week.
The Republicans will consider no arbi-
tration proposition which does not recog-
nize their organization as legal and regular.
To make q division of the House officers,
or concede tribunal the right to determine
contests would be practical admission
that their proceedings were in measure
irregular and this they say they cannot af-
ford to do. They say they are either wholly
right or wholly wrong III they are right
they have no concessions TO make. IL they
are wrong they ought TO concede everyth-
ing This being the spirit manifested
on both sides there is no immediate
prospects Of change In the relative posi-
tion Of the House. The trouble expert
elCeu 30 ldT Is dLltlDuCCu W bIO Opuliob
and Democratic candidates for United
States Senator, who are openly accused by
both sides Of having prevented peaceable
organization. Conditions will remain un-
changed until one side or the other at
tempts TO assume the aggressive and by
force asserts its authority. Neither as yet
shows disposition TO do this.
The Senatorial question is badly mixed.
II the PopuIists are forced 10 the necessity
of electing Senator with the aid of their
present House organization the contests
will be carried before the United States
Senate For this reason many OF the Pop
ulists leaders are urging the necessity OF
electing fusion Democrat and presenting
his credentials 10 the Democratic Senate
after the 4th Of March. John Martin OF
this city is the leading fusion candidate
and John Eaton Of Winfield is close sec
ond Among the PoDulists S. $. King. OF
Kansas City, Judge Frank Doster, OF Mar
ion county and J. w, Breidenthal, chair
man of ihe Populist Central Committee are
the most prominently mentioned.
The Republicans having no Senate with
which to meet in Joint session Will not hg-
ure in the Senatorial fight unless the two
Houses are amalgamated. In that event
they will throw their strength 10 straight
out or stalwart Democrat as opposed TO
the fusion candidate. They have now
sufficient to elect Republican but with
the aid Of the five Democratic members
could secure majority.
Jerry Simpson left this morning for
Washington aud is no longer seriously re-
garded in these Senatorial fights.

MISERY AT HOMESTEAD.

Three Hundred People Estimated to Be
On tho Verge of starvation-Small
Wages In the Mills.
PITTsBURa, PA, January 15.-The con-
tinued cold weather has increased the
suffering at Homestead, and it is stated
that nearly 300 people are on the verge of
starvation. Contributions are still coming
in, but the aggregate amount is so small
that it will not procure the bare neces-
sites.
In the mill there is great deal OF dis
satisfaction over the wages. Yesterday
was the first pay day under the new scale
and many Of the workmen claim their en-
velopes did not contain more than one-half
the amount received for the same period
before the strike. A number of the men
stated to-day that they would quit or
strike just as soon as there was warmer
weather. The officials deny that there is any
dissatisfaction and claim that if the wages
aIe smaller it is the fault OF the men, who
are not working as hard as formerly.

TWO SENSATIONS
At Washington-Prince Isenberg, Who
Doesn't Create Furore and Miss q Ut
berson Who Does.

at washinGton-Prince Isenberg, Who
Doesn't Create a Furore and Miss ul-
bersOn Who Does
WASHINGTON, D. c., January 15.-Wash-
ipgton experienced two sensations In the
week just closed. One was negative, the
other positive. Prince Isenberg made his
appearance and there was no rush after
him. This was the first. Whether it was
due to the jealousy of Washington for
affairs Baltimorean-thel Prince has been
spending some time in that nearby city.
and was introduced to Washington by Bal
timore visitors-or some other occult cause
the fact remains that Washington has so
far declined to make real live Prince the
rage or even rage A sensation surely.
The other is Miss Anne Virginia Culber-
son, of GAINESVILLE, Ohio, whose exploits
are confined to the literary world OF the
capitol. Her wonderful interpretations OF
some of her own Southern and Western
dialect stories are listened to by large au-
diences, and the house OF the Postmaster
General, closed against pure social func-
tions, opened hospitable doors to its spa
cious interior that Mrs. Wanamaker might
entertain her friends with Miss Culber-
sons recitations.
Secretary of State and Mrs. Foster will
be given round of dinners within the
next few days by membes Of the diplomatic
corps, previous to their departure for
Paris, where Mr.. Foster will have charge
Of the case of the United States in the
Behring sea arbitration.
Secretary Foster expects to resign his
portfolio the last week in this month.
A reception will be given in honor OF
Mgr. Satolh, the papal delegate TO the
United States, by Mrs. Madaline Vinton
palgren Wednesday night next. In view
ofthe Monsignor's new appointment the
diplomatic corps are inclined to adopt him
as member, Notwithstanding the fact that
he has no official relations with the gov
ernment In the United States on the after
noon of the same day Senator and Miss
Voorhees, will give reception to Cardinal
Gibbons

he has recently experienced have occurred
on that day. There was no development
to-day, however, other than favorable, and
when DR.. Johnston left the house at $50
this evening he said he should not return
during the night unless especially sum-
moned.
Early in the morning Senator Cameron,
whose house is just across the alley from
Mr.. Blaines, sent servent 10 inquire rs
TO the condition of the invalid. The at
teudant at the door appeared cheerful and
made an encouraging response.
The first callers Of the day which was
bright, clear and distressingly cold for this
latitude. were Senator Hale and wife, who
came about TO- so O'Clock ana remained
half an hour. While they were in tho
house Drs, Hyatt and Johnston arrived To-
make their morning visit. Senator Hale
told the reporter that Mr.. Blaine had
passed the most comfortable night he had
experienced for many days.
James G.. Blaine, Jr., with friend and
Miss Hattie, went out for brief walk in
the course OF the afternoon. At 5 o'clock'

sponse that Mr.. Blaine rested COM

BUTLER'S PRIVATE FUNERAL.

A Short Service With No Eulogy Nor
Address-His Remains Conveyed by the
g. A. X. to Huntington Hall, Where
Thousands View Them.
LOWELL, Mass, January 15.-At Gen.
Buffers late residence on Belvidere Hill
this morning, private funeral services were
held. Rev. DR.. A. ST. John Chambre, OF
St. AIMS Episcopal church, read the office
for the dead. The body was in the draw
ng room. There was no eulogy
and no address by the clergymen.
After the short service, closing with the
Lords prayer. those present looked upon
the General for the last time.
A detachment OF comrades OF Post A.,
G.. A r., reached the house directly after
the private funeral exercises. Col. Dimon,
who has charge of the arrangements for
the funeral, was IN command
Comrades bore the body from the
house TO hearse drawn by four horses.
When the march TO the hall was taken up,
arms were reversed and the officers fell 10
the rear of the detachment. The streets
were crowded as the band signaled by
dirges the passage of the Generals BODY
from the house 10 Huntington Hall, where
the DOQN was 10 Ilc III sbdIo. n
great crowd was waiting 10 be admitted
TO the hall. In the hall the coffin was
placed in the centre of the floor. From the
ceiling TO the floor wall of black extend
ed. The dim light aid not extended TO this
wall of black and the effect was dismal and
gruesome. Grand Army men guarded the
casket On the coffin rested the sword and
epaulettes that were worn from Lowell 10
the Gulf and back again.
Behind the catafalque rested q bank OF
flowers that had come from President Har-
rison, from the convicts of the State prison
and from all classes of people between
these extremes. President Harrison's
wreath was placed in the coffin in Wash
ington.
When the crowd was admitted TO the
hall they almost carried the doors of their
hinges. They struggled up stairs and
bowled over the police who tried to re-
strain them All the afternoon steady
stream of people poured in, but the crowds
did not diminish.
Hundreds left the place without getting
in, and many others who wanted TO get out
of the Jam were forced 70 wait and be
swept into the hall by the stream. There
will be another crash tomorrow morning,
as those who failed to-day will try then.
The preparations are for great event,
greater than Lowell has ever witnessed.

strictions Removed He is Only

NEW YORK, January 15.-The Rev. DR..
McGlynn tonight said that in his letter to
Monsignor Satolli, he had neither condemned
nor retracted the economic doctrine that
he had bsen teaching.
"And yet" he says, "thanks to the en-
lightened judgment and noble heart OF
Pope Lel XIII. and the willing readiness
of his worthy representative, Archbishop
Satolli, in carrying out his instructions
have been relieved of ecclesiastical CEN

ministry. Now that, as is made
clear by the public statement of
Archbishop Satolli, wo are relieved from
the restraint of certain considerations OF
prudence and delicacy, am only 100 ha p
py to publish the letter which presented
to the Apostolic delegate, and his accep-
tance of which was Immediately followed
by the declaration Of the removal OF the
ecclesiastical censures, and by the puolica-
tion of which to reafirm the sentiments
which 1t contains. The letter Is as folloWs:

sion to thank him in person for his kindly
and enlightened judgment and action in my
