Waterbury evening Democrat. [volume] (Waterbury, Conn.) 1887-1895, 1895-02-28

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2S.-The senate has
agreed to take n vote on the sundry civil
bill at o'clock this afternoon. The f1nan-
cial issue, which has hung like q great
menacing cloud over the senate chamber
for many weeks, has been suddenly and
permanently dissipatcd. For four hours
there was q storm of debate in which the
most conspicuous financial figures of the
senate We're listened to by crowded gal
leries- And then Mr.. German, whose
financial amendment had brought about
tho contest, withdrew the proposition,
and the subject was summarily disposed of.
A moment later Mr.. Mills proposition
to repeal the laws authorizing the issue of
bonds was cut off by a ruling of the chair
that 1t was out of order. Thus the flnan-
cial issue, which had Threatened serious
delay to the appropriation bill, was unex-
pectedly swept away.
Mr.. German made tho principal speech
In advocacy of the proposition for author
izing 500, 600. 900 of debt certificates to
meet treasury deficiencies. The senator
called in question the accuracy of Secre-
tary Carlisles reports of the troasurys
safe condition and declared that def
cheney of $50, 900, 600 for the fiscal year
was assured.
Hill Makes n Spirited Protest.
Mr.. Hill or New AOrk made spirited
speech against the amendment, which in
volved him in several sharp colloquies
Mr.. Sherman, Mr. Allison and Mr.. Al
drich supported the German amendment
Mr.. Voorhees,, chairman of the finance
committee, opposed the amendment on
the ground that it was needless and was
directly opposed to the wishes Of the presi-
dent and secretary of the treasury. Mr..
Mills spoke vigorously against the issue of
bonds.
Afr. Teller finally moved to lay the Cor
man amendment on the table, and this
was the signal for Mr.. Germans financial
move in withdrawing The proposition.
Work on the sundry civil bill was then
proceeded with. Among the amendments
agreed to was one authorizing the selec-
ton of nino commissioners to represent
tho United States at an international mon
etary conference.
Another important amendment agreed
to provides for commission of United
States army engineers to investigate the
Nicaragua canal project. going over the
route and making a report. Mr.. Morgan
said tho INQUIRY was desired in order to
fully inform the next congress, as it had
become evident that the present house
Chairman Cockrell of the appropriation
committee stated that the appropriation
bills could now be disposed OF on time. II

When a gentleman lifts his hat to a
lady it is very gratifying to him to feel
that his head gear is irreproachable. Our
Derbys are of the sort that are above re-
proach. The crowns are not extremely
high and the brims are not narrow, but
are proportional so that they make well
balanced hat. They are becoming to
nearly every man, regardless of his fea-
lures. You may not like the style, but we
can suit you from our stock, as We have

William w CoOmbs and Eppa II. Coon.bs,
brothers and young veterinary surgeons
were arrested last night by Policeman New
kirk, of the Sixth precinct, on a warrant
sworn out by Thomas H. Anderson, charging
them with horse-stealing
The warrant was based on the fact that
the Connlbs brothers agreed TO sell horse
TO Anderson at certain time and place
and in the meantime an agent of theirs re-
oelvedmoney onthe heanimalTronthep proposed
purchaser.
When Anderson turned up to claim the
horse he supposed he had puTcha sed the two
brothers had disposed of the animal TO
another purchaser, thinking he had
changed mis- mind.
Anderson at once went before Justice
Harper to swear out a warrant for grand
larceny, but that magistrate said there was
nothing in the case, and refused 10 issue
warrant
Justice O'Nelll was then appealed TO.
and issued the warrant which was servedby
Newkirk. The two prisoners were re-
leased on $500 bonds, and the case will
be heard in police court to-day.
