four hour. Or moro had been devoted to tn.

four hours or more had been devoted to the
discussion of the proposed purchase Of the
Blaine property.
Tho purchase was finally agreed to. giving
$4,000 10 Mrs. Blaine, and leaves tho rights
and damages of the lessee to be settled by the
courts. Some objections we're raised. but Mr..
Gray said that the section abont Lafayette
Square had been dedicated to Government uses,
and it wond be desecration to place iheater
there. This property was fitting site Tor
Government building. The time would come
when all the property around Lafayette Square
would be needed for the Government, and 1t
was a matter of economy to take this Blaine
residence now, before it became more costly by
the erection of theater.
Mr.. Vest thought the price too high, saying
that the Government had an option on the
property ii years ago for $4,000.
An amendment was agreed TO giving S5,0OO
to the heirs OF those killed in the Fords Theater
disaster.
In the House, the general deficiency bill
was finally passed. There was some flibuster-
ing after the bill had been reported 10 the
House. with a view of defeating the provision
for the extra months pay to all employees of
the House, including clerks and members.
But the effort failed, and the motion To recon-
nit was defeated by vote of 125 to 20, after
which the bill was passed-145 TO 81.
Tie most important matter discussed in
Committee of the Whole was the amendment
relating to the Bering Sea seal controversy,
proposed by Mr.. Breckenridge Ky, d. to pay
the British Government $4,000 in full of all
damages claimed by the Canadian sealers who
were prevented by the United States from pur-
sning the seals or seized while SO at work, in
accordance with the agreement reached by
Secretary Gresham and Ambassador Pauncefote
last August The Administration sustained an
other defeat when the Republicans and Popu-
lists Joined hands and defeated the bill.
Mr.. Tucker iVa.) introduced bill to estab-
lish park at Appomattox.

HE WROTE DIXIE.
The 0ld-time Minstrel, Daniel De-
Catur Emmett.

Dan Emmett. the author of Dixie" Is now
living at Mount Vernon, O., and is almost 80
years of age. He WIS one of the original four
of Brysnts celebrated minstrels, who played
that year in the old Park Theater, on Park
Row. in New York City, and opposite the pres
ent City Hall. He has for some time drawn Q
moderate weekly allowance from the actors
fund.- and the money thus received has been the
chief source of support.
The proper name of his popular song IS
"Dixie Land" which is as lively and popular
an air to-day rs 1t ever was, and its reputation
is not con fined to the American continent. 1t
is played in Europe, and ranks with the finest
of the simpler airs in touching the emotions of
the people. and wherever it is played by big,
strong hand the auditors cannot help keeping
time TO the music. IL is well known in all the
Capitals of Europe, and never fails to awaken
vigorous applause
Emmett was more familiar with the negro
dialect than most other writers of Southern
melodies. This act is shown by the song itself,
which. though hdrriedly written to be used at
one of the authors popular walk arounds, is
good specimen of dialect
Though the air is known better than the
alphabet to the younger generation, hardly one
in 500 know the words, which are as follows,
and which were written in 1643:
wish was In de land oh cotton, old time dar are
not forgotten,
Look away, look away. look away. Dixie land
In Dixie land whar WAS born in. early on one
frosty mornin'.
Look away. look away. look away, Dixie land.

DR. BUCHANAN MUST DIE,
Justice Brown Denies the APP
pIication for a Writ of
Habeas Corpus.
Arrangements for His Execution To-
Morrow Morning Have All
Been Completed.

SING SING, N. Y, April 29.-The re-
spite granted by Governor Morton in the
case of DR.. Buchanan expires at midnight
tomorrow, and unless the court interferes
the condemned man will be executed
Wednesday morning.
When Warden Sage and DR.. Irvine
visited the condemned man to-day the first
question he asked them was whether they
had heard any news from his lawyers in
New York. Buchanan understands that
his lawyers are to make application to the
court to-day for a writ of habeas corpus
and should this be denied they will then
file notice of an appeal to the United States
court.
Warden Sage has completed all the ar
rangements for the execution, and the new
invitations have all been received by the
persons who will witness it. The hour fixed
is IL A. NJ. Mrs. Buchanan, who visited
her husband yesterday afternoon and re-
manned with him for long time, will

life is unsuccessful.

COAL-HEAVERS R|OT|NG,
Union Men Open the Season
in Chicago by Striking
and Fighting.
A Reduction in Pay Caused the
Trouble, Which Police We're
Called on to OueH.

CHICAGO, Ill, April pa reduction
from II to cents ton for heaving coal
brought on a lively riot to-day at the docks
of the G. S. Richardson Coal Company.
Three men were injured, none of them
seriously, however, and it required the
presence OF twenty policemen to quell the
disturbance.
To-day was the first of the coal-heaving
season, and before work began on their
first barge the Richardson Company an
nounced that it would not pay the old rate
of II cents, but would cut the price to
cents. The union men refused to accept
the cut and the work proceeded with non
union men.
This afternoon 800 union men marched
to the dock and demanded that the non
union men stop work. They refused and
the mob at once attacked them. Several
of the crowd managed to get in the rear of
Officer Streeter, threw him down and
kicked him about the head and body.
The union men drove the non-union work
men away, and the officers sent for assist
ance, who quickly drove back the crowd
and the work went on without further in
terruption. Several coal firms have de-
clared that they will not pay more than
cents, and more trouble is looked for
when the coal season is fairly on.
