idea that if last week the senate could af- ford to take up and pass the Venezuelan commission bill involving consequences of peace or war. without action by com mittee, 1t would not scruple to pass this little bill, and to give to those old Con- federates that Christmas present. He thought that the spectacle was one of straining at a gnat and swallowing a camel. He remembered that the senator from Ohio (Mr. Sherman) had moved to refer that bill to the committee on Tor eign relations, but he had not pressed that motion nor voted for it himself. AS to MT. Platt's reference to newspaper ar ticles lauding him (Mr. HilD, he said that he would like to have seen some of those complimentary notices, as he saw very few such in print nowadays. Gaughter)
 After further discussion a vote was taken on MT. Sherman's motion to refer the bill, and the result was: Yeas B. nays 30-less than a quorum. A subse- quent roll call showed the presence or forty-seven senators, over quorum, ana then MT. Sherman withdrew the motion to refer the bill, and it was then read a third time and passed.
 MT. Vest modified his silver coinage resolution of last week by making II a. joint resolution and changing it in some other particulars, so that it now directs the secretary of the treasury to coin as rapidly as possible the silver bullion in the treasury purchased under the act of July IA, 1890 into standard silver dollars, and with such dollars to redeem the treasury notes issued for the purchase of the bullion when offered for redemp- tion, such notes to be destroyed as soon as they are redeemed" It also directs the secretary of the treasury to redeem the treasury notes commonly called greenbacks, when presented for redemp- tion. in standard silver dollars, or both, as the condition of the treasury may re- quire, the greenbacks so redeemed to be reissued, as provided by the act of May 31 1S7S
 Mir. Hill indicated a purpose of discuss ing the resolution but questioned the pro priety of beginning the debate today.
 MT. Morrill, moved to refer the resolu- tion to the finance committee, but before the closing of a vote on that motion he moved an adjournment. and the senate at 2 D. m adjourned until Friday next.
 The committees of the senate will be reorganzed next week. and will then pass into the hands of the republicans. The democratic steering committee held long session this afternoon in the room of the committee on appropriations, and heard those senators who desired to be heard with regard to their committee as- signments. After this was done a sub committee headed by Mir. Cockrell was appointed to take the whole matter in hand and report to the full committee Thursday. This committee will then call caucus of the democratic senator's probably Friday, when the assignments as agreed upon will be approved. As soon this is done the list will be hand ed to the republicans, and the motion will be mada the next day in the senate to reorganiZe the committees in accord ance with the list, which will be sent to the clerks desk

ON ACCOUNT OF LOVE.
Walter Scott's Persistence Wins the Woman of His Affection and Costs Him
 His Life.

Des Mones, Ia, Dec. 24--Walter Scott, a young business man, and Miss Clara Dawson were married at 3 o'clock this afternoon by justice of the peace. Scott went from the office of the justice to the home of the girls father, S. R. Dawson, and was shot dead by the father. Nearly two years ago Scott and the girl met and the friendship ripened into love. The girls father forbade them to see each other but as they persisted he took the girl before the insanity commission and gave testimony, on the strength of which she was found insane. She was released, and her father still bent on preventing the marriage, took her to Chicago and placed her in a convent. For some time she was unable to communicate with Scott but at last got a letter to him. He went to Chicago and induced the manage ment of the institution to release the girl Then her father took her somewhere in Ohio and placed her in private school She managed to get away from there, and her father brought her back to Keo- kuk and placed her in charge of friends Scott went to Keokuk to secure her re- lease, and was arrested on a warrant sworn out by Dawson, charging him with sending a letter to the girl. Scott, how ever, was released, but the girl then de- clared to the friends she would not marry nlfH LII HeT pdTeHtS were WllllHS. f1UW- ever, he met her from time to time, and yesterday she sent him note, saying she was ready to run away and be married. They met this afternoon, were married and soon after Scott went to her home to get her belongings. He took an officer with him. Dawson refused to give them what they demanded and as they were leaving the house drew a revolver and shot Scot. He fired four times, and three of the balls took effect, killing Scott Dawson was arrested.

LANGUAGE IF THE CABLE Successful Ambuscade of the Turkish Forces at Zeitoun. BARBAROUS ORDERS GIVEN Soldiers Destroying Property and Sparing No
 Mans Life. WOMEN AND CHILDREN ARE EASY PREY Schooner and Bark Go-Dewn With Crews. Truths Advice Concerning the Ven-
 ezuelan Prince of
 Naples to Be Married.
 
ARBAR0US ORDERS GIVEN
WOMEN AND CHILDREN ARE EASY PREY

Constantinople, Dec. 24.--An 0. 1eial tel egram from zeitoun reports that the Turkish forces which have been advanc- ing for some time upon the latter place made a successful ambuscade, and were victorious but withdrew to Marash, which place offered better facilities for the encampment of the troops.
 Other reports of the engagement have it that the Armenians won victory over the Turkish troops and took about loo prisoners. Letters received in Constanti- nople from the interior show that orders have been issued to the Turkish soldiers to spare neither man, woman nor child. A protestant clergyman. pastor of a church in Zeitoun. has acted in the ca pacity of envoy in the parleying that has taken place between the Turks and the Armenians at Optic, the later being in possession of the town.
 A division of the Turkish army has ad- vanced to Geben, two days march from Zeitoun. Upon the appearance of the troops the inhabitants of the town, about 2000 persons, fled and took refuge in Zei- toun leaving their cattle and other prop erty. The soldiers are burning all of the houses and their contents as they go
  en they ordered 5000 loaves of bread to be supplied by the Christians. The bread was furnished, and the ravenous soldiers ate every loaf before the last animal bearing the food was unloaded
 Another division of troops is advancing upon Zeitoun from Marash, but the pre- vailing floods make the fording of streams difficult. A third division is ad- vancing from Coekoun. This division must traverse a difficult pass which 100 men can defend. The general opinion is that the Armenians In possession of Zei- toun have nothing to fear except hunger.
 It is reported that the United States cruiser Marblehead has fired a number of blank shots at the town of Mersina, in Asia Minor. If the report is true. the shots were probably fired with the object of frightening the Turks as means of securing the protection of American property at Tarsus and Adana
 An official telegram, dated December "A, says that the Armenians at Zeitoun have made an attack upon the village of Michel, killing two men, five women and three children and carrying away all of the cattle and goods in the shops and houses. The inhabitants of the village fled to Genksunad.
