YEAR OF BLANKS.
First Annual Milestone of the Fifty
third Congress Is Passed at
Yesterdays Session.

WASHINGTON D. c., Aug. 6 6-There
was pretty long and interesting dis
cussion in the senate today over Mr..
Ch8ndler's resolution for an inquiry
into the history Of the Dominion Coal
company of Nova Scotia, and over Mr..
Mills amendment to it. proposing to
eXtend the inquiry to coal and trans
portation companies in the United
States that might be aft cted by the
Canadian competition, and as to
whether members Of congress or Off
GERS of the government held pecu-
mary interest in those companies.
AT the close of the morning hour, the
matter went over without action. The
remainder OF the days session was oc-
cupied in the discussion OF the anti.
anarchist bill, which was finally passed
and sent to a conference committee.
The first year of the active existence
of the Fifty-third congress closed with
the session of today. There was moth
ing in the proceedings of the house,
however. to indicate the fact. Most
of the day WAS spent in discussing
the conference report on the
Indian appropriation bill. The confer.
raes had come together upon every
item except the one relating to the
ratification of the treaties with the
Silels, Yankton. Sioux and Nez Pcrces
Indians for the cession of portions of
their respective reservations. Without
conclusive action, however. the house
adjourned.
Mr. johnson Dam.), presented the
memorial of the Central Labor union
of Cleveland, preferring cherges against
Augustus j. Kicks, judge of the United
States court for the Northern dis
trict of Ohio. and demanding
bis impeachment thereon. The
charges are that be collected
and illegally retained for his personal
use and benefit several hundred dollars
of fees which had accrued while he
was acting clerk of the court over
which he now p,esides. The charges
were read in full and referred to the
committee on the judiciary.

GAY BIRD FINED.
Frederick Wright, Originator of the
Suit Club Scheme, Is Ar
rested in Cold Boston.

BosToN. Aug. 6.-Frederick R.
Wright. the originator of the sult-club
scheme, was arrested here today,
charged with concealing goods bought
on installments. He was fined $50,
WHICH was paid by II friend. and Satur-
day Wright left town, leaving an un.
paid board bill of over $15.
Wright, who is about 30 years old,
started the suit club scheme in 1891, his
Office being at S05 Walnut street, Phil
aielphia. 1t is claimed that he OBJ
tanned between 600 and so, 600 mem
bers to his club 70 married Phila.
delphia young lads 0me ten years ago,
but during the existence of the club he
began to devote considerable attention
to Miss Grace e. Mills, of Port Carbon,
Pa, who was his bookkeeper. Wright
spent money lavishv and his suit club
collapsed in July, 1899
Then he went to Canada, leaving his
wife and an Indebtedness estimated at
$40, 600. In August Miss Mills Joined
Wright in Toronto. where he was
known as Wilbur Gordon, and where
he soon started suit club. He again
got into financial difficulties and called
upon his wife for aid 1t is said she
sold great many Of her effects and
sent him the proceeds, Later Wright,
under his own name, came TO this city
with Miss Mills. with whom he lived
as his wife and to whom q child was
born.
Wright's latest enterprise was the
Wheelm9n's registration company Mt
Is Boylston building in this city. He
was president aud general manager
until some weeks ago, when he was
forced to resign by the other Officials of
the company. Meanwhile Mrs. Wright
appeared upon the scene, but refused
to make him any trouble She
has applied for u divorce, how
ever. When Wright left the
Wheelmans Registration company
he went on tho road for a New York
house. He arrived here last Wednas-
day, when his creditors got after him.
H settled with one but another had
him arrested with the result above
stated.
He and Miss Mills lived in Provi-
dence as man and wife during 1892
where Wright started suit company
under the name of the United States
Merchandise company, which resulted
as the Philadelphia club had done.
