Washington, Jan. 15.-In the
House to Gay, on motion OF Grain OF
Texas, the Senate bill relieving the
Arkansas Pass Harbor Co. of Texas
FROM the time Ii limitations of the act
OF 1890, rs to the improvement Of Ar
kansas Pass, was passed.
Before the House resolved itself
into Committee of the Whole for the
consideration Of the tariff bill, Bou-
telle made another fruitless attempt
to bring forward bis Hawaiian reeolu-
ton. He made an impassio ned pro-
test against the refusal Of the House
to consider the matter, saying, "Con-
grees should have the right to repudi-
ate the odium under which it rests
The Democratic majority should
have the right TO unload from Con-
gress and the Democratic party this
burden OF outrage and disgrace. ="
Republican applause.J
There must be some limit" de-
clared the Speaker sharply, ito the
right OF the gentleman to violate the
privileges of the House. There must
90 some power in the majority to pro-
tect itself against these repeated vio-
lations. The gentleman will resume
his seat, and the House under the
special order adopted will resolve it,
self into a committee Of the whole
for the further consideration of the
tariff bill" Boutelle retired to the
rear Of the hall. Richardson took
the chair and the reading of the tar
i'll bill began.
The Ways and Means Committee
have completed the amendments
which they will propose to the tariff
bill. The amendments do not change
the general scope, being all of
minor character.
SENATE. ~
At the opening of the Senate this
morning, there was nm unusual flood
of petitions protesting against tn.
passage of the Wilson tariff bill. Az
ter transactinR business of minor i'm
portance, the Senate went into ex-
ecutive session on the HornbIowsr
nomination.
The Hawaiian investigation by the
Senate Committee on Foreign Affairs
made little progress to day Several
new witnesses failed to appear, Lieut..
Commander Swinburne being one of
them. Prof. w. D. Alexander of the
Hawaiian Legation gave some facts
additional to those already presented
by him. Several affidavits Of resi-
dents of Hawaii bearing on the revo-
luton and other phases of the ques-
tion were filed by Senator Frye.

the street.
After he had got through his work
"a satisfactorily he told the fraud that
he would lather him twice as badly if
aver he set eyes upon him again.
A year ago the same farmer was jog
ring along a lane, when he met a
stranger who so closely resembled the
''fruit-tree agent" that he stopped and
,aid:
What! You here again, you scoun-

Eyes, I'm here. you see" was the cool

"Well, so am L; and I'm going to

enough to cry don't l told you I'd do
it, and I'm just a plain man of my

The threatened man pulled off his
coat without a word of protest, and a
fight began. Inside of five minutes he
had used up the farmer, wiped the road
with him, and was busily replacing his
soat.
"How is this?" the Herefordshire man
said ruefully, as he wiped the blood
from his face with a wild rheubarb
leaf, you fight whole horse better
than you did two years ago"

Never. And don't want TO again. "

ated clubs will enter teams. A 500 silver
cup, emblematic of the League champion
ship, has been provided by the President,

the esteem of the football community.

time on Thursday. They will meet the Y.
M.C.U. of Kearny at Americas Park at 1880

A merry sleighing party, consisting of ff-
teen young ladies and gentlemen left the res
idence of Miss Sadie Van Buskirk, No. 2S4
Sixth street, last Friday evening, bound for
Waverly. The programme as mapped out,
included a stopover at the residence of Miss

the bad condition of the roads on the west
side of the Hackensack River. the route was
changed, and turning about the party pro-
ceeded over Tonnele avenue, and by way of
the County Road and the Paterson Plank
Road, reached Rutherford. At Troutwines
Roadhouse, everybody took a hand in the
merrymaking. After partaking of a hearty
repast, all hands filed into the spacious dane
ing hall, and for about three hours the en-
joyment ran high. Between dances the COM
pany was entertained by instrumental solos,
vocal solos, recitations, ETC., by the members
of their own party. A fast drive brought
the young folk to Jersey City about half
past two A.. M.
In the party were:-Mrs. M. Shader, Mrs.
j. O'Connell, Misses Sadie, Hattie and Title

FATIMA WIaaLED A LITTLE
Captain Hayes witnessed the Show
from a Back Seat.

from a RacA Seats
The audience that filed the aisles and
every available seat at the Germania Thea
tire, Hoboken, last evening, witnessed only
a very small portion of Mile. Fatima's well
advertised wriggle dance. She appeared
with Sam T. Jacks Creoles. The police had
been instructed by, Mayor Pagan to stop
the dance, should it become IN any
degreei offensive, to their mode of
thinking, to the aesthetic tastes of Hoboken's
refined populace. AT the same time the
manager of Eatima's dancing arrangements
was notified that he should prohibit Fatima
from dancing. The manager evidently con-
cluded the Mayor had talked business.
Fatima logged herself up in the costume she
generally wears i'll the contortion gyrations,
and when announced from the platform
during the first part of the performance,
luttered from behind the scenes, to the tune
of a military schottische. She executed a
dozen OF SO of fancy step figures, tanning the
hot and smoky air with a bit of lace she had
gathered up in her hands. Only two sec
onds' worth of the dams du reatre was
given, the rest being merely promenading
from one side of the stage to another.
Fatima looked pleased over it, but
everybody else was disappointed to
a more or less extent. Even
Fatima gave. At least it was presumed
that's what he wore the frown for. But then
Captain Hayes had planked down his little
Quart teri to get inside, too.
He asserts that he was there only to stop
the show If Fatima did not behave herself.
would you have climbed onto the stage
to stop it, he was asked.

very decidedly, land it would have stopped,

MRS. BENTLEY INEXPERIENCED
Her Children Succeed I'm Having n
Receiver ApuOinted.

Her Children Succeed I'm Having n
Receiver Appointed.
The Court Of Chancery was crowded yes
terdey afternoon to hear the termination OF
the suit against Mrs. Peter Bentley. Ex-
Governor Bedle wound up his argument for
Mrs. Bentley by maintaining that the income
Of the real property was insufficient to sup
port the family, and even if she used the
corpus she was by her husbands will per
fectly entitled to do SO, and could not be held
accountable to any one.
Mr.. Gilbert Collins replied lor the children
and commended that the children had an
absolute right to ask for the protection OF
their inheritance. SIT isn't true" Mr.. Col
Inns argued, that the income is SO slight as
it is asserted to be. When Mr.. Bentley died
the yearly income from this real estate was
5000. If that sum is lessened it is by the
extravaganza of Mrs. Bentley" He asked
for a receiver and an injunction to restrain
the widow from disposing of the corpus OF
the estate.
The Chancellor in giving his decision went
carefully into the will of the late Mr..
Bentley and construed it as meaning that
the bent of Mr.. Bentley's mind in making
that will was to give his wife the entire pro-
ceeds of the estate during her life, If she re-
manned a widow. After her marriage or
death the estate went to the children.
The Chancellor's.opinion was that, under
misrepresentation Of the wording of the will,
Mrs. Bentley had not conducted the estate in
a proper manner. The case exhibits mis-
management because of the inexperience
and lack OF Judgment of the executrix.
His Honor then said that a receiver should
be appointed, and he named Counselor w.
A. Lewis for that Office, and placed him
under 1900 bonds.
Mr. George Wilelon this morning called

LIVELY YACHT CLUB.
The Desertions Have Not
Discouraged the Green

Observation-Disclosures Bowl
ers Won the Final Game.

The Greenville Yacht Club has taken
new lease of life and the jolly amateur
'tars' who fly the orange and blue flag OF
the club are making active preparations for
the opening,o of the season. At arecent meet
ing of the club all the sdead wood" was re-
moved from the membership roll in accord
ance with a set policy of the trustees and
hereafter only those yachtsmen who take an
active interest in the welfare of the organiza-
ton will be allowed to remain in the
club. eve are determined to make
the Greenville Yacht Club, the leading club
in the city," said Treasurer Charles Nit
zenius to a reporter of THE JERSEY Cry
NEWS, 'sand to accomplish this result we
have decided to get rid of all those members
known as dead wood The present mem
bers can all be relied upon to do all that lies
in their power to promote the club, and
their work will no longer be retarded by dis
gruntled members
Treasurer Mitzenius also gives an encour-
aging report of the condition of the finances.
For the first time in the history of the or
ganization the books are clear of debts and
show a comfortable balance besides. In a
few weeks the Board of Trustees will decide
upon plans of improvement to the club
house. Numerous changes are contemplated,
and the work of ~enovatio will begin as
soon as the plans are decided upon. The
trustees have already decided to greatly i'm
prove the ladies' room, which will be used
much during the season as the club will
make a feature of ladies' nights.
The float and bridge viii also be repaired
and improved, and negotiations are now go
ing on for a breakwater to protect the f1oat
and yachts. The breakwater will be of
piles, and will be built about 200 yards from
the shore. 1t is expected that the contract
for this work will be given out in a few
days.
At the last meeting of the club, the follow
ing committee was appointed to nominate
officers for the coming year:-Mr. Hicks, Dr.
Hollister, Alonzo Pension, Harry Katten-

arranged by this committee is as follows
Commodore, c. P. Morton; Vice Commo-
dore, @. P. Vreeland; Secretary, Harry Kat

Several changes in the constitution and

one being to limit the membership of the
Board of Trustee to seven, the officers of the
club forming the nucleus for the committee.
Another change that will be recommended
will be that the office of Financial Secretary
be abolished, and that the work of the office
be performed by the Treasurer. AT the last
meeting a number of new members were
elected, and at the next meeting the names
of nine well known yacht owners will be
voted upon. As soon as the officers are
elected a regatta committee will be appoint
ed with instructions to arrange for an open
ing regatta on Decoration Day.
