Tom Reed Creates a Deadlock That Re-
mains Unbroken,
WASHINGTON, April 11.-Mr. Reed
held the house at bay for an hour and a
hall today on motion to discharge the
warrant issued to the sergeant alarms
during the fight over tho contested cleo
tion cases to arrest absentees. The
Republicans, under his leadership, re-
fused to vote, and the Democrats, being
unable to muster quorum. yielded to
an Adjournment. The Democrats fear
the move on the part of Mr.. Reed is in
pursuance OF a carefully formulated
plan to force the constant attendance OF
a Democratic quorum hereafter. The
Repub blicans deny that any such plan
has been agreed upon. The business of
the house is we'll advanced, and If such
q scheme is carried into effect the Dem
ocrats say they will have ample time to
transact their routine business before
the senate disposes of the tariff bill.
The prospects, are not bright, accord
ing to the opinions of prominent DEM
ocrats in the house, that a voting quo
rum will be occurred tomorrow on the
motion to vacate the order to arrest abb
sentees. which was the cause of today's
trouble in the house. According to one
of the leaders who was questioned, 1t
NAV be necessary in order to secu-e a
Quorum to vacate this order, to renew
the order itself.

A Former Los Angeles Girl OF Mys'

A Former Los Angeles Girl OF Mys-
tsrious PArentage.
DENVER, April 1.-THE police are try
ing to unravel the mystery surrounding
the parentage OF Emily J. Freeman, the
ward OF an aristocratic family in Los
Angeles, Cal. The girl remembers liv-
ing with an Italian woman named Mary
Cuneo, better known as "the holy ter
ror," frequently arrested and always
drunk, from whom she was taken by
Mrs. Rollins and subsequently placed in
st. Mary's academy. Mics Freeman
had fine clothing and costly jewelry pre-
vious to going to the academy. Her
birth is a mystery which she seeks to
solve. Mary Cuneo has disappeared.
The police are hunting for Mrs. Rollins.
SAN Francisco, April 11.-Mary Gu
neo, the woman mentioned in today's
dispatches from Denver in connection
with the mystery OF Emily ]. Freeman,
is we'll known to the police of this city.
On the Barbary coast, where sailors and
soldiers revel, and at the city prison she
ia familiar character. She has served
many terms at the house OF correction
for drunkenness and disordeTly conduct.
1t is now about six years ago that she
became we'll known to the police and
since then her progress on the down
ward path has been swift. When hret
arrested ehe had considerable money on
her person. and even now she manages
to obtain funds when out OF prison.
In her confidential moods she inn
parted the information that she was
married to wealthy rancher in the
Santa Clara valley. and as she OCCASION
ally disappears from the city for two or
three weeks at a time, it is believed that
there is some foundation to her state
ments. 1t has also been noticed that
when she returns from her country trips
she is flush with money, which she
spends with lavish hand in the dens
on the Barbary coast Star fat. Although
bearing an Italian name, the woman
claims to be Irish. At present she Ia
enjoying the hospitality of the city at
the branch county Jail, serving out q
sentence for drunkenness.
When Mrs. Cuneo was seen this morn
ing at the branch Jail she admitted that
she knew Miss Freeman, and stated that
the last time she saw the girl WAS in the
local prison. When closely Questioned,
however, she fatty denied knowing any
thing about the girl. She said that she
(Mrs. Cuneo) had property in Denver.
A search through the city prison rec
ords for the past three years shows that
only one woman named Freeman was
under arrest. but her christian name
docs not tally with that given in the
dispatch from Denver.

A RECIPROCAL CHINESE TREATY.

The Cincinnati Enquirer offers some
observations on the Chinese question
which disclose a degree OF enlighten-
ment on the subject decidedly unusual
among eastern journals. 1t calls atten-
tion to the fact that treaty arrangements
between tho United States and China
have always been one-sided. While we
have given the Chinese the privilege of
settling in any part of ouE territory and
enjoying all the advantages OF citizens
except the right to vote, they give our
people the right to settle in only seven
ports of China. In view of this situa-
tion, the mere statement OF which it
considers sufficient without argument,
the Enquirer calls for an amendment
TO the Gresham treaty:
The pending treaty. nego tiated by
Secretary Gresham, should be amended
in the senate go as to confine the priv
ilege of residence of Chinese subjects
in the United States to seven ports.
These ports should be in the stateG
which are represented by fervent Chi
nese advocates. We suggest the ports
of Boston, Portland, Newport, New Lon
don, New York, Philadelphia and Will
miDgton, Delaware. Ii this amendment
should be adopted and be objected to by
the Chinese ambassador, then let the
following amendment be proposed by
our government: "Citizens Of the
United States in China shall be entitled
to enjoy not only all the privileges en-
ioyed there by the most favored nations,
but shall, in addition to that. enjoy all
the privileges that are extended to Chi
neae subjects in the United States"
This suggestion, says the San Fran
cisco Call, is certainly unobjectionsble.
We should be willing, however, to err
on the side OF liberality. We should not
object to throwing in few more towns
to convince the Chinese OF our super
abundant good will. They might be
allowed to settle in Hartford, for in
stance. for the benefit OF Ssnator Haw-
ley, and in Worcester for the benefit OF
Senator Hoar.
We should be curious 10 see the face

WASHINGTON, April 11.--Ths truce en-
tered into by the opposing forces in the
senate, whereby it was agreed that for
the present week the debate on the
tariff bill should be confined to the
hours be etween and O'Clock each day,
and that during that time there should
be no interruption by roll calls or for
any other cause, was the result of an
understanding, fret among the Demo-
cratic leaders and secondly between the
Republicans and Populists. The general
impression about the senate is that the
agreement entered into will probably
continue about fortnight, but Senator
Harris has not agreed to extend the
time above q week, for the reason that
he does not wish to be bound when it
becomes apparent that legitimate de-
bate is exhausted.
"We may wieh to extend the hours at
any time, at first to 6, and possibly to Z,
and and IL O'Clock. and after that oil
night, and to provide for sitting contin-
ally"

shall undertake to make the change.
When it is evident legitimate debate is
concluded we shall press its considera-
tion with all the means st our command

SENATE PROCEEDINGS.
Halo and Psfror Talk Tariff to Empty

Hale and Psn'or Talk Tariff to Empty
Benches.
WASHINGTON, April 1.-THE agree
ment made between Senators Harris
and Aldrich went into effect today and
from l to o'clock the tariff bill was
under discussion. and Senators Hale and
PETER spoke against it. The tims of
the senate from II to and from to 3
p. M, when it went into executive ses-
eion, was taken up in confederation OF
the urgency deficiency BILL but without
reaching any conclusion in regard to 1t.
Hale concluded his tariff speech at
8 :15 D, m, and Senator PETER took up
his speech which was begun and inter-
rupted last Thursday. When Mr.. Pefer
began the second instsllment of his
speech there was fair attendance OF
senators on both sides OF the chamber,
but they gradually melted away, and at
one time there was only one Democrat
and one Republican and one Populist on
the hoor.
During Pefer's speech, Quay made
the point of no quorum, when Harris
regarded that suggestion ss violation
Of the agreement reached that the tariff
should be considered between l and
O'Clock each day without any dilatory
motions.
Manderson agreed with Harris in his
understanding of the agreement, but
QUAY explained that he did not under
stand tnas there had been any agree
ment, and asked leave to withdraw his
suggestion, but the ball had been start
ed running and could not be 80 easily
checked.
Wolcott said he did not understand
that the agreement between Harris and
Aldrich bound the rest of the senate,
and he, for one, would move an adjourn
ment or executive session or to obtain q
quorum.
Manderson and Harris explained that
according to the universal usage OF the
senate an agreement by unanimous con-
sent bound all senators, whether they
we're present when the agreement was
reached or not, SO Wolcott subsided.
Dolph made point of order that the
question of a quorum having been
raised, it could not be Withdrawn, and
the presiding officer. Allen of Nebraska,
sustained the point in spite OF the pro-
tests OF Mr.. Quay, who apoIogzsd for
unintentionally violating the agreement.
Enough senators came in during the
roll call to make q quorum.
PETER then resumed his speech, in
the course of which he said the bill dis
criminated against the farmer and that
the only thing the agricultural classes
asked was that they should receive pro-
lection as the manufacturer did. He
said it was out of order to call the Viii.
con bill tariff measure and he criti-
cised free wool, claiming the farmer was
not benefited, nor was anyone else. The
pending bill was not bill for protection,
nor for revenue, and the Democracy
could take no pride in its passage.
At 5 O'Clock the tariff bill was sus-
pended and the senate took up the ur-
gency deficiency bill. which was dis
cussed without action until O'Clock,
when the senate went into executive
session, at the conclusion OF which it
adjourned al :25.

COUNT PAPPENHEM is believed to be
a titled nobody with an actress for a
wife. That che, and not he. is the
family provider from the region of the
footlights, nobody oucs doubts. Those
young men of aristocratic birth who
marry actresses, generally have very
morbid appetites-with the accent on
tights. Well, this aforesaid Pappen-
helm has done q great service to the
Blue Grass state, sab, by teaching the
Kaiser Wilhelm, No. 2. to drink Bour-
bon whisky-and Bill says it's good,
too. If ever Pappenheim gets broke in
Germany, or the reichstag abolisnes his
title under suspension of the rules, all
he has got to do is to come over to old
Kentucky and they'll make him Duke Of
Lexington and Marquis of Grab Orch
ard. In these bard times Pap could do

THURSDAY. APRIL Ia. 1894.
A BRILLIANT SCENE.

The fests Was continued last evening
with one OF the most brilliant scenes
ever witnessed. The streets we're one
grand blaze OF vari-coored light, and
the procession WAS gorgeous in its fantas-
tic dresses and beautiful colors illuminat-
ed by incandescent overhanging lamps,
and pyramids of Bengal FIRE blazing all
along theline, brought out the pageant in
vivid transllueency. The streets were
jsmmed with people, all Of whom
were in exctasies at the wealth
of gorgeous sights they beheld.
Every balcony was crowded and
every window was animated with
eager heads. Our principal streets
seemed to be wrapped in blaze OF
glory, and no fairy scene depicted
by Scheherazads to the rapt sultan, nor
resplendent festival celebrated by the
oriental monsrchs o' story, was ever more
brilliant or beautiful in color, in pa
Reantry or in the illuminated reflection
OF the phantasmagoria OF the nsgni6-
cent ecene which enveloped our city last
night.
We doubt if ever before there were so
many visitors in Los Angeles at one
time. The hotels overfowed into all the
vacant rooms they could find, without
respect to the distance away, and all
eorts OF make-shift spreads had to be re-
sorted to to give the tired stranger
whereon he could lay his head.
Wo are now satisfied that the fiesta is
a fixed institution of Los Angeles, to be
followed up annually. For an expert
mentit has been astonishingly successful
and il we were able to acduit ourselves 80
satisfactorily in the initial effort, now
that we know how it is to be done, we
shall add new attractions and greater
Improvements every time we open a
new season OF semitropic carnival. In ca
tsring to the enjoyment OF a great city,
practice, like in sll other things. makes
perfect, go that we now have no doubt
that in the future the fiesta de Los An
geles will become as popular, near and
far, as the Mardi Gras has proved to be
in New Orleans.
Today will be mainly devoted to the
little folks, and the parade will contain
thousands of school children, sppropri-
ately bedecked in fiesta colors, and
marching with so!dierly precision in
line. The teachers and special drill
masters have been putting them through
their military PAGES for several weeks,
and some OF the companies OF little ones
have become so perfect that great credit
will bs reflected on those who trained
them.

BERING SEA PATROL.
Sailing Orders 0Iven to the Commanders

Sailing Orders GIven to the Commanders
of the Fleet.
WARRINGTON, April 1.-THE sailing
orders and instructions to the command
ers OF the ships for the Beriug sea patrol
were completed today and submitted to
the secretary OF atste for his approval.
So far they are kept secret, but the gem
eral trend OF the instructions, it is un-
derstood, require the naval officers to
seize any vessel found engaged in seal
ing north of the thirty-fith degree of
latitude after May q and before August
1st. The presence ia board of sealing
apparatus will be regarded as sufficient
proof OF the character of tha vessel TO
warrant her seizure. The seized vessels,
if carrying United States flags, will be
sent to the nearest United States port
and delivered to the judicial officers
there to await trial. If q British vessel
it will be turned over to the British
naval officers, who will return her to
Victoria.
The sailing orders will also be kept
secret, 30 as not to defeat the purpose of
disposing of the vessels or fleets go as
to make it probable that no sealing
craft can venture far into the sealing
waters without reasonable certainty OF
capture. Some of the naval vessels
will lie in wait in the neighborbeod of
Sand Point and at the mouth of the
passes between the Aleutisn islaRds,
through which the seals pass from the
Ncrth Pacific into Bering sea. A con-
tingent of the feet will cruise off the
coaet OF British Colum bia and Southern
Alaeka, following up the seal horde.
The fact that vessel. United States or
British, has cleared from port before
the promulgstion OF the law will not
suffice to save her from seizue. Her
cruise will be cut short and she will be
returned to port to be dealt with by the
courts.
The president has directed Chief Rich

revenue vessels as are available for pa
troll duty in the Bering sea to report to

as he may assign them. Three vessels
which will be ordered north are the

now undergoing repairs. The Bear is
expected to be ready for sea duty in
about ten days, the Corwin about May
