objection was made by Mr. Reed to dis
penslng with the first reading of the bill.
as requested by Mr. Cummings and its
forty-hve printed pages were dinned into
the ears OF the two or three score mem
oers who remained in their seats the hour
that was consumed in the reading.
Mr.. Cummings briefly reviewed the
provisions of the bill and explained the
reasons which moved the committee TO
make the apprOpr iations recommended.
REED MAKES A KICK
In the course of this statement Mr..
Reed interrupted to ask why the COM
mlttee did not appropriate outright the
S45O,OOO for three torpedo boats, instead
OF authorizing the Secretary of the Navy
to use the appropriation of that amount
made in 1889 for a dynamite cruiser, for
that purpose. 'If we are TO have these
figures over and over, it would
be WELL" said Mr.. Reed, "to be
middling honest in our bookkeeping. -
He objected to that form Of appropriation
which made the money count when APP
propriated by republican congress, and
not to count when appropriated by a
democratic congress. He said the fnan-
cial statement at the close of the bill
showed that the total amount appro-
priated was $25, $50, ,066 when as a matter
Of fact that amount was half million
greater.
At $40 o'clock the committee rose, and
the House adjourned until tomorrow at

SALOONS WILL BE Closed.

Most OF the saloon men here say they
will abide by the decision and close their
places Of business so soon as they UNDER
stand the situation fully There is little
doubt that the decision means Just what
it says. AS will be seen, the court goes
so far as 10 order the prosecution Of the
men who instituted the habeas corpus
proceedings before II.
The question is asked IL there is any
law for the punishment Of violators. Sec.
ton l,734 Of the general statutes imposes o
fine Of not less than $500 or sentence of
not less than six months in the peniten-
tiary on all persons who sell whisky
without license. AS the court decides
that there is no power In the state au-
thori2ing the issuing Of licenses, any per-
son selling without license will be sub
ject TO the sentence given. So far as
known, however, there is no punishment
for the shipment Of whisky into the state.
Gov Tillman was asked to-day whathe
intended to do about trying TO enforce
the prohibition law. He said he would
lend his moral support TO IL and do all he
could TO enforce it, but he did not have
any machinery with which to enforce
it. He also said that he was
glad the uncertainty about affairs
had been settled. The pro-
hibitionists say they will prosecute vio-
lators of the law, and IL is supposed that
the city and county authorities will do
likewise.

RANDALL's MEN IN A ROW.
The Authorities of La Porte Throw the
Leaders Into Cells.

La Porte, Ind, May S.-The two fac
tions of the Randall army of industrials
met with treatment here this morning
that they did not relish. The city
authorities met them at the city limits
and forbade them to enter the city, and
Gen. Randall, his son and two of his
lieutenants were arrested and placed in
jail. Papers for their release are now
being made out.
The citizens took pity on the starving
army and sent out provisions to it where
it is camped, mile south of the city,
pending the release of the leaders. The
two sections of the army are still on un-
friendly terms and marched from West
vile about third of a mile apart.
THE PRISONERS.
Those arrested are all leaders of the
Randall faction, or main body of the
army. The names of those taken into
custody are: Gen. Randall, his son, H.
X. Hohter, second in command; Mai, Mar
tin Lynch and Sergt. Mai j.
G. Gibson. The charge against
them is refusal to obey the
smallpox quarantine regulations. Young
Randall was Immediately released, the
charge against him being considered in
sufficient to hold him. Gen. Randall has
telegraphed to DIR. Greer, of Chicago, for
aid in getting him and his lieutenants out
of Jail. 1t is believed that the army will
break up here and go no farther.
UNABLE TO PROCURE BAIL.
Gen. Randall and his staff were unable
to secure bail, and are tonight in a COM
mon cell accused of conspiracy to commit
a felony, The 300 loyal followers of Gen.
Randall are waiting for his release in the
open air two miles out on
the Yellow river road. They are even
more determined than they ever were to
walk to Washington, or die on the road.
Gen. Randall accepted mis- Imprisonment
with much better grace than had been
expected, taking the jail fare cheerfully
and also the bed of boards. The grand
jury is not IN session, but the mayor
agreed to appear before the circuit Judge
and file the information.
