Some Action.

Washington, January 31.-Thes Senate
considered the District of Colum bia ap-
preparation bill, and there was conside
rable debate, during which the financial
question was brought up by Mr.. Allison
(Rep. of Iowa, who said that if we cam
not agree upon some measure of taxation
that Will produce a sufficient revenue,
can we not agree upon some temporary
measure that VIII, in the eyes OF the
people and in the eyes of the world,
make the treasury solvent beyond per-
adventure as respects to current eXpeE-
ditures.
MIR. German said: In the present
emergency. it is matter of detail
whether the money be silver or gold, or
greenbacks, or national banknotes, so
long as the money is as good as any
money in the world. 1t must be supplied
to this government, and | appeal to the
mem bers on the other side of the cham
ber to come forward in this crisis. The
responsibility is joint.
1t cannot be escaped by either side.

night of the third of March next, l shall
be the most deceived man in the world
if this great body does not act II way to
save this country fl ON impending disas-
ter because Of a want of money lii the

tary of the Treasury to inform the, SEN
ate whether any legislatation should be

NEWSPAPER COMMENT.


The Daily Graphic will remark to-
morrow: A divergence of facts appears
as to the conduct of the crew, especially
as shown in Pilot Greenham's tribute to
the ships discipline, and the charges
made by Vevera and Hoffman.
In an interview this afternoon Holman
said: II heard the captains orders to
send the women and children to the saaf-
board side | had been used to obeying
orders, as / have been under discipline
military, SO | let my boy go, although
he had got into the boat with me. 1t
was an engineer who took him out, and
the engineer is still alive"
The Graphic reporter says: "One
memory will linger in the minds OF all
who visited the survivors in Lowestoft.
1t is the vision of poor Holman sitting
broken hearted by the tireside,, and say
ing nothing except My poor boy; my
poor little boy"
Consul Brader made remarks on the
wreck: The result of inquiries SO Tar
seem to show the officers took their
proper stations to superintend theiloWer-
ing of the boats. The women were or
dered to the starboard side because the
injury to the vessel was on the port side.
Suddenly the ship heeled over. There
upon the women and children made
mad rush to port, and poured Ikea tor
rent into boat No. 5, sinking 1t. An
other boat was filed with women. and
there is posi- bility that this got clear.
The boat which carried the survivors
was No. 3. It rowed around to starboard
and there rescued Miss Bueoker. No
boats were launched from The starboard
side, simply because it was Impossible.
I do not believe that at first there was
excitement or panic. 1t was merely the
inevitable amount of confusion until
the ship began to settle. Then the cry
was 3 d

which ignored the signals for help. The
fishermen say they could not have gone
to the rescue soon enough unless they
cut themselves free.

Strange resurrection Of past she had
believed buried and forgotten by all save
herself, and by her, even, but reluctantly
remembered, so at variar ce was 1t with
all that had followed that episode of her
youth! Yet, reluctantly or not, she could
not repudiate those passionate words wrung
from her agonized young heart, nor that
wildly beautiful face that looked up at her
with eager, compelling eyes. She had look
ed like that, had loved and suffered like
that, and from his obscure grave the dead
lover of her girlhood called to her, and he,
too, could not be denied.
1t was a not uncommon story. Heinrich
Gartr er, talented but unsuccessful mu-
scian, had been discovered and taken up,
after the manner of fashionable women, by
one CT New York's foremost society leaders
in ante-hellum days. Picturesque in APP

health, Gartner seemed especially designed
to become the object of some grand danes
