Minneapolis, Feb. PAT Normanna
rink John S. Johnson was to have had
his third race with Peter Oestlund, the
champion of Norway. The distance
to be skated over was 10000 meters
or six miles and $40 yards. There was
a large crowd on hand to witness the
event, but the Norwegian did not ap
pear, claiming that he was handi-
capped by weight and soft ice. John
o tried to go over the course alone
and claim the championship, but the
spectators, who demanded their money
back, were angry because Of the re-
fusal Of the management to reimburse
them, blocked the skaters passage,
and Johnson was taken to his dressing
room under escort Of the police.

Washington. Feb. 22.-Mr. Chandler
created something OF n sensation In
the senate by outlining some i'm
portant steps to be taken by the next
congress-, including q congressional in
vestigation Of the recent purchase OF
gold by the president Of the United
State. The speech came Unexpectedly
as an incident OF the debate on the
Indian appropriation bill. During the
early hours Of the day the silver bill
made its exit from the senate. Mr..
Jones OF Arkansas, in charge OF the
measure, announced that his friends
would make no further effort to pass
Ii at the present session. The disposal
Of the measure was emphasized by the
decisive vote Of 50 to IL on Mr.. Cor
mans motion TO take up the Indian
appropriation bill, the effect Of which
was to displace the silver bill and set
it back to the calendar. Mr.. Wolcott's
resolution declaratory for silver, but
postponing action, also went to the
calendar without final action. Mr..
Henderson proposed an amendment,
urging an International bimetallic
agreement.
The opponents Of the new battle
ships for the navy suffered q crushing
defeat to-day when Mr.. Sayers' mo-
ton to strike out the authorization for
the war vessels was lost, first in the
committee of the whole on a vote Of
43 to 121, and later In the house by a
vote Of 81 to 1919. After Mr.. Savers
motion had been defeated. Mr.. Cannon
Of Illinois attempted to have an ap-
preparation Of $23, ZOO, 900, and then OF
$5.OO0,OO0 inserted for building the
ships authorized, but both propositions
failed. Mr.. Dolliver of Iowa succeed
ed in having an amendment adopted
providing for the building of two tor
pedo boats on the Mississippi river.
Washington, Feb. 23.-The senate
devoted itself to business, and would
have completed the Indian a%ppropria-
ton bill had not an acrimonious dis
cussion arose on the sectarian school
question. 1t brought out a wide range
Of debate on the separation of church
and state, in the curse of which the
exp, essions were general that the gov
eminent should entirely abandon de-
nominational schools. On an aye and
nay vote an exception was made in the
case Of the Indian schools at Hampton,
Va, and Lincoln, Philadelphia, on the
ground that they were not strictly de-
nominational. The sectarian question
was still under discussion when the
senate adjourned.
Tie house devoted most Of the day
to the consideration of the senate
amendment to the consular and diplo-
matte appropriation bill appropriating
100000 for the construction Of a cable
to the Hawaiian islands. Messrs.
Ryan, Bartlett and Sickles, Democrats
Of New York, spoke in favor OF the
amendment, which was defeated by a
vote of ia to 1872, 16 Democrats voting
for the cable.

Washington, Feb. 81. - The silver
fight in the senate Is finished and no
vote will be had on the Jones bin. The
one day devoted to the bill showed
~conclusively that no amount OF pres
sure would bring about a vote, and II
the silver bill was kept before the SEN
ate that IL would result in defeating
the appropriation bills and force an
extra session.
At 9 o'clock last night the senate ad-
journed after a determined, but fruit
less effort on the part Of the silver
men, led by Mr.. Jones OF Arkansas, to
pass the bill for the unrestricted coin
age of silver. Mr.. Jones himself made
the motion to adjourn after 1t had been
made evident that a voting quorum OF

THE NEWS IN BRIEF.
Many Hearts Relieved

by the Safe Arrival of the French
steamer, La Gascogne, Eight Days
Overdue.
La Gascogne, the French liner, eight
days overdue, for whose safety there had
been great anxiety, was sighted off Fire
Island Monday afternoon and before mid
night had anchored outside the bar. The
steamer left Havre Jan. 26, and was due at
New York, Saturday, Feb. 2. The third
day out her piston-rod broke and 1S hours
were spent in making repairs; the piston
rod sustained a more serious break on Feb.
2 and II hours were consumed i'm making
repairs; on Feb. 4, the first severe weather
was experienced and the ship was blown
$50 miles to the northward of the regular
track of transatlantic steamers; the ma
chinery broke down for third time on
the 7th and the same day the heavy cyclone
struck her and the ship lay with sea an
chOrs out all day; on Saturday, Feb. Q the
fourth break occurred, but in spite of all
these misadventures the ship made her
port without assistance and landed her
passengers in safety. There was great re-
joicing in New York when her appearance
was reported, and the good news was
flashed all over the country.
La Gascogne seemed to have suffered
less from the wintry gales than some of the
other ocean liners which came in at the
same time, completely encased in ice

in this country and Europe. He was one
of the thieves who secured 100000 from
the South Kensington National bank of
Philadelphia in 1871. At the close of bus
mess one day Donahue walked into the
bank and told the cashier that the lieuten-
ant of the police district had seen suspic-

an attempt would be made in the night to
rob the bank. Two watchmen were sta
toned in the bank that night. About I
o'clock two policemen raped on the door
and told the watchmen that they lad been
sent there by the lieutenant. They were
asked to enter the bank, at first declined,
but the weather being cold finally accepted
the invitation. While one of the watch
men was getting one of the policemen a
drink of water the other policeman induced
the second Waterman to go outdoor to see
if everything was all right. The Waterman
on the inside was then gagged and bound,
the other Waterman admitted and similarly
treated. Then the supposed police men
became robbers. threw ODen the door to
their associates. With wedges, muied
hammers and jimmies the vault was opened
and 100000 taken, but the safe contain
ing a larger amount of money could not be
cracked.
