Arrangements Have Been Made for the De-

SENATE WILL DISCUSS HAWAII

and Matters of the Kind Will Kill
Time-Forty Members Desire to
illuminate the Bland Seigniorage
Bill with Oratorcal Fireworks
Peckham Nomination on the Pro-
gramme-Worko of the Committees.
WASHINGTON. Feb. II


6GHE one event of the week is ex.
pected to no the vote in the house
ON the Bland seigniorage bill,
u providing that measure is not
side tracked before tho last legislative
stage is reached 1t is not expected in
any event that decisive vote can be
reached before wednesday afternoon
and probably not before Thursday. The
chairman of the committee of the
whole on Friday last announced that
upward of forty gentlemen desire to
speak on the bill. While it IL not
probable that all of this number will
be h ac', it is safe to assume that more
than twenty on the list will attempt to
address tho house at greater or less
length, There cannot be mora than
two hours debate on the bill Monday
inasmuch as the Stanford eulogieS
have been mad special order for 3
o'clock on that day,
The contested election case of
O'Neill, Dem y vs.. Joy, rep. y the sit,

souri, (St, Louis) district, has the right
OF way as q question of the highest
privilege if Mr.. Patterson. of Tennes
see, who has it in charge on behalf of
the committee on 'election those to in d.
sist on his rights, Some time during
the week this matter il sure to come
up 1t has been agreed that six hours
shall be set aside for the consideration
of this case which will of course carry
it over to the following day before u
vote can be reached. After this case
has been disposed of the appropriations
committee will bring forward some of
the bills reported by them that are now
on the house calendar. There are five
of these measures, viz: General Defci-
ency. Fortifcations. Pensions, District
Of Columbia and Sundry Civil.
HAWAIIAN TALK IN THE SENATE,
In the senate there may become re.
newal OF the Hawaiian debate, as
Senator Daniels and Senator Quay, the
latter a member of the committee on
foreign relations has given notices OF
speeches on that subject, which will
not probably be referred until the re
port OF the committee is made. The
Berry bill, requiring railroads in Indian
territory to stop at town sites, is the
unfinished business. An adjournment
over from Thursday to the following
Monday is to be expected in order to
give the committee now engaged in the
revision Of the tariff bill further op-
portunity to complete their labors.
In the event that the committee OF
the judiciary should dispose of the
Peckham nomination at tomorrow's
meeting, there may be short but say
age contest in executive session.

An Unknown Vessel on the Shoals at
Caps Hatteras.

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 1.-THE un-
known steamer that foundsred with all
hands on outer Diamond sEoal, Cape
Hatteras, last week is believed
here to have been the British steam.
ship Olympia, Captain Coleman, from
Metanzas Cuba, February 1, for
Philadelphia, with cargo
of 1900 tons of sugar for
the Franklin sugar refinery. From the
description given by the life guards
who caught glimpse of the i'll fated
steamer while she was drifting towards
the shoal many points of resemblance
to the Olympia are noted. The un-
known steamer had light colored
smokestack, and the Olympia's was
painted = buff color. The Olympia
was two masted schooner rigged
vessel and so was the lost steamship.
As the vessel drifted in towards the
shoal it was noticed that she was deep
in the water a. " heavily loaded, aud
the Olympias cargo OF sugar would
have sank tho steamer well down. The
Olympia carried the crew of thirty-two
men besides Captain Coleman, and was
consigned to the Eastern Line Steam
ship company of this city.
For several years past the Olympia
has traded between this port and Cuba
returning with cargo OF sugar. The
1900 tons aboard the Olympia was
owned by tho sugar trust.
The vessel was owned by the Crown
Steamship company, OF Belfast. Ire
land, and was built in 1882 at Stock
ton, England Shs was 300 feet long.
iOi feet beam and 81 feet drAught.

WASHINGTON, Feb. Secretary
Herbert was anxiously looking all day
for dispatch announcing the return
Of the rescue steamer City of Para to
Colon with the officers and crsw of the
wrecked corvette Kearsags, now lying
upon Roncador Reef, $50 miles away,
but up to late hour this evening no
dispatch had come to hand. The sec
re.ary's anxiety arose more from an
amicable desire to relieve the minds of
the friends and relatives Of the ship
wrecked men than from any real appre-
hension on his own part, or on that of
the best informed navy officials, of
serious impending danger.
The navy department officials stated
yesterday that they would feel no cause
for alarm il news of the successful ac-
complishment Of the city of Para's mis-
sion did not reach them till some time
Monday, or even as late as Tuesday
morning. But sensational stories pub

JoHNsTowN, Feb. 1.-The inhabit
ants of the town of Westmont had the
worst scare they have had since the
South Fork dam broke and carried
death and destruction through the val .

sent them rushing in \ panic into the
streets of the town,
Fortunately the volume Of water in
the dam was insufficient to do any
harm and beyond the fright received
by the village people and the flooding
Of q few cellars no damage was done.
