Bland Makes Up His Mind Who Is Run
ming This Country.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2i.-To-day's session
of the house was brief and devoid of
interest. For more than two hours roll
call followed roll call, the opponents OF
the seigniorage bill throwing aside all
pretense of not fiiibustering and boldly
injecting motions to take recess and
adjourn 10 prevent vote on BANDS
motion. A rule will probably he brought
in Monday 10 prevent illihus,erlng when
the fight will go OH. The hous, leaders
insist that the struggle will not be
abandoned until vote is had upon the
measure. In to-iay's session, after re-
peated votes on motion TO adjourn for
recess, ETC., and repeated failures to
obtain quorum, Bland lost his patience.
aud finally shouted: at is quite evident
the bondholders have control over this
country and | therefore move the house
adjourn" Without division the motion
was carried and, At 2:jj, the house ad-
iourned.

CLEVELAND IS NOT SICK
No Truth in The Report That Ha Is
SuG.Tlns From Cancer
HIS HEALTH NEVER BETTER
What the President Has to Say
About the Newspaper Reports
Circulated 10 the Effect That
lie Is In a Very Bad Way.

WAsHINGToy, Feb. IA representa-
tive of the associated press saw Presi dent
Cleveland this evening az the executive
mansion regarding tho report circulated
the past two or three days to the effect
that the prcsidcn mt is suffering from a
serious malady and is about TO have an
operation performed. The president said:
Il have been engaged every day in my
Office on public business and have every
day seen people who called. senator's, rep
rcsentatives and others. Nothing would
have been easier than TO ascertain the abb
soluIe falsity Of these reports. am forced
to conclude that there is an epidemic OF
meRdaciiy emaBating from the dull and
stupid brains of some Of these correspond
enis. These men must be influenced
either by desire to deceive the public. or
TO annoy those affected By their disrep-
utable work. Those who read the news
papers should understand the extent to
which their credulity is calculated upon"
When tho representative of the associ-
n;ed press entered the presidents busi-
ness Office at tho white house this even
ing, he found Cleveland and Secretary
Thurber engaged in clearing the desk Of
an accumulation Of public business.
Cleveland never looked better in his life.
His eye was bright, his color good and his
voice hearty and strong. To-day he re-
ccivcd n large number of callers in his
Office aud at ! Is p. m. shook hands with
$50 people In the east room. AT o'clock
he drove about the city for more than all
hour in an open carriage, and tonight is
hard at work at hi, desk. where he will
remain until long after midnight. This
night is no exception to :,he general rule.
| IL can be said with perfect assurance
that all reports to the effect that the presi-
dent is not in good health are entirely
without foundation.

a BRITISH DISASTER.
Marines Badly Handled by Native Forces
In AfricA

LONDON, Feb. 2i.--Dispatches come
from Bathurst, the capital OF the British
west coas; OF Africa colony OF Gambia, at
which point the cruiser Raleigh, iiagshin
OF the British squadron on that coast, and
the gunboat Widgeou, had arrived, state
that parties of British marines landed
from these vessels near Bathurst TO
punish Chief Fodslaha, a notorious
slave trader who had been carrying
of into bondage and cruelty ill-treat-
ing the helpless natives Of tho vil-
lagos along that part os the coast. The
parties went ashore with provisions for
four days and a plentiful supply of am
nnnition. 4 reserve force was lett ashore
at the landing place under the protection
OF the vessels guns. The remainder o!
the column began "A march inland through
a difficult country, the land being sw ainpy
aud covered with thick brushwood and
forests. They were accompanied by nG-
tlyes carrying spare ammunition, proyis-
ions and water. The march continued a
long distance without any signs OF
the slave traders bands and the
country was apparently deserted. Then
the native carriers began 20 desert with
the extra ammunition and provisions and
the column was finally left alone. The
going was so bad that the flanking parties
we're finally forced back on the main col
umn which, however, continued to adj
vance till 1t came upon two villages which
the British attacked aud captured. These
villages were surrounded by stockades
and served well as defcnses, the british
planting machine guns at points OF
vantage. Tho force remained there
the following night, but tho loss Of
ammunition and water made Captain
Gamble. in command OF the force, decide
TO return to the shore. This movement
was commenced early this morning.
After proceeding n short distance, and
when surrounded by rising ground, the
party was attacked from ambush from all
sides. The attack was severe and the
blue jackets fell on all sides. Tho column
returned as hastily as possible, carrying
the wounded along as far as possible, but
the shore was not reached till three OFF,
GERS and 10 men were killed and A.

A dispatch from Bathurst received late
this evening seems To intimate that n still
greater disaster TO the British arms may
shortly be expected. IL is stated that a

In the Breckinridgs Case.

DASvILLE. KY. Feb. 2i.--William Swope
is here counselling with his brother,
James Swope, relative to tho testimony by
DIR. T. L. Lewis, in which the name of
Hon. A. NJ. Swope, deceased, was dragged
into the Pollard d-Brecklnridgc scandal.
The Swopes and DIR. Lewis are both con-
sulting lawyers and there are probabili-
ties OF coming trouble. Swope says the
statement to the effect that DR.. Lewis saw
their brother in Danvillc in the fall of 1885
is unquali!ediy false, as lie was then in
Europe, and they will be able 10 prove
that Colonel Swope was not acquainted
with Miss Pollard. DR.. Lewis, while an
old man, is dead game. The Swopes are
extremely jealous OF the reputation of
their brother and will leave no stone un-
turned in this investigation.

'-IcAGo, Feb. 2i.-Another incendiary
ire occurred al the worlds fair grounds
this morning and, as result, the magniii-
cen, agricultural building, pronounced by
many good judges the most sumptuous
and beautiful of the worlds fair struc-
lures, is practically heap of ruins. The
flames were first discovered in the great
dome. large number of fire engines
were at once summoned TO the scene, but
the inflammable nature Of the structure
caused the fire to spread with great rapid
ity under the influence of a still breeze,
and il was about all the department could
do to prevent a spread 10 other structures.
This they succeeded in doing, but the agri-
cultural building is ruined.
The famous bronze statue OF Diana by
the sculptor Z. Gaudens, which orna-
mented tho dome Of the building during
tho fair, fortunately was removed some
days ago and was set up IN the Columbian
museum.
