WILL THE SENATE coNcuRf


speculation Regarding the House Cuban
Resolutioas.
WAsHHaroN. March 6.-Owing to an
error Of . technical parliamentary
character the house had to retrace some
Of its steps in order that the resolutions
it adopted might. be before the senate
in the status of q substitute for the sem
ate resolutions. Senator Sherman,
chairman of the senate committee on
foreign relations, after the corrected
version Of the house Cuban resolutions
were received by the senate, said the
committee would hold q meeting at
once for the purpose of considering
what course should be- recommended to
the senate. The senate can pursue
either of three lines 6 policy. 1t can
disagree to the house substitute and
send it back without asking . confer
ence; it can disagree and ask for con-
ference, or it can
Acceps tho House Resolutions
IS substitute. IF accepted, this &C
ton viii dispose Of the entire question
so far as congress ID concerned. Sena-
tor Sherman declined to express an
opinion As to the probabilities, as did
others of the committee, saying there
had been no opportunity for confer
ence. The indications, SO far as there
are any, appear to favor Aon-concur-
renee with request for conference.
Senator Frye of the committee said,
however, that he would be willing to
~ - - \ u l. ~ L.
close the matter. He expressed the
opinion that there was no material diff
ference between the declarations Of the
two houses, and that one would serve
the purpose as well as the other.

Oefeat OF Italians In AbyssinIa
Much Worse Than First
Reported.
Three Thousand Troops Slain
and Most of the Supplies
Captured.
Great Excitement and Indigna-
ton at Rome Over the
Result.

ROME, March 5.-Fuller details of
the defeat Of the Italians in Africa
have been received here. and it appears
that they were completely routed. The
Italian army was divided into three
columns, under Generals Albertone,
Afimondi and Darbormide, with q
brigade under General ELENA as re-
serve. The Italians captured the passes
leading to Adowa, the capital Of Tgre,
and General Albertone's column then
advanced on Abbacarima It was soon
afterwards attacked by the enemy and
compelled to retreat
Half the italian artillery and all the
ammunition and provisions were lost.
Other advices report that 5000 of the
italian soldiers engaged in the battles
were killed and that among them Gem
erals Abertone and Darbormida. The
number of wounded is not yet stated.
The Shoans are said to have been
well armed with modern rifles, and
cannon, and the entire force opposed to
the Italians is estimated to have been
over $4,000 men. The total Italian
strength is about $4,000.
The Worst News Confirmed.
As the evening wore on, and the
very worst news of the Italian defeat
was confirmed, the feeling of despair
which first seized upon the inhabitants
gave way to one Of the greatest excite
ment and rage against the government.
Bands of young men began parading
the streets, shouting, Down with
Crispi,' but they were promptly dis
persed by the police.
These demonstrations, however, at :
tracted still larger crowds of people to
the streets and for a time serious
trouble was anticipated. All the
troops at the different barracks
throughout the city were placed under
arms and patrols of mounted gen.
darmes were ordered to the leading
thoroughfares.
Ministry May Resign.
It is stated that the ministry has de-
cided to resign as result of the popu-
lar clamor arising from the defeat of
the Italian forces in AbyssiniaA
1t is impossible te exaggerate the
CONSERVATION which the news of the
Italian defeat in Abyssinia has caused
in all circles in this city. The news
papers do not even seek to minimize
the disaster in the slightest degree.
Every hour marks the appearance of
fresh editions, giving additional details
of the news, and more particularly of
the manner in which it has been re-
ceived and the opinions of the editorial
writers upon the disaster and the CAM
paign. All this serves to increase the
public excitement, which is constantly
growing. The whole of the garrison of
the city is confined within the barracks
for fear of disorder. The government
has decided to mobilize the reserves of
the class of 1872, numbering $4,000.

QUIET DAY FOR SENATORS.
Devoted Most Of the Time to the Agri-
cultural Bill.

WASHINGTON, March 5.-The senate
gave most of the day to the agricul-
tural appropriation bill and passed that
measure, carrying So, 262, 900, without
material amendment. Another bill
passed duripg the day changes the linn
itations OF fourth class mail matter so
as to free the postal service from bulky
articles heretofore sent free by the gov
eminent departments. Mr.. Wolcott,
in urging the bill, said roller top desks
and electric motors were among the
articles sent as mail by the depart
ments. Late in the day word came
from the house that the error concern
ing the Cuban resolutions had been
corrected. In its corrected form the
house resolution is an amendment to
that passed by the senate. As thus re-
ported back, the subject was referred
to the committee on foreign relations.

A SUCCESSFUL TRIAL
Made Of Gate Clamp Invented by Mem
Der of the Fire Depurfneut

A test trial Of what Is called gate.
clamp was had on Sunday night al the
headquarters u engine company No. S.
j. is 10 be used IN cases where sections
OF hose burst at fire. and when time and
water ars valuable. This cOntriyance
was invented by Mr.. Charles n. Smith,
lieutenant Of the company. and mead
machnlst Of the Richmond Cedar-W Works.
II was put TO all possible tests, and proved
q success. The tests were witnessed by
President Frlschkurn and Assistant Chiefs
Shaw and SneaG. Of the Fire Department,
who were well pleased with the result.
The object OF the clamp Is that when
section Of hose breaks, instead OF having
10 run back TO the engineer 10 tell him 10
shut down." so that the bad section can
DO taken out, ana then have TO return 10
tell him 10 start up, this continuance
which Is always near at hand, can De
put on the next section nearest the en-
zine. and the section taken out In
fraction OF a minute, with no more IN
convenience 10 ths engine than that
which Is done by "cIt-on taper. III
fact. the cutting or the water is done
more gradually. Another advantage Is
that when a stream is 10 be taken up
ladders and other dangerous places, TINS
clamp can be put on several secuons
back and the men will not have 10 carry
a live" stream. The stream VIII ne
dead" the pressure being cut OIL sew
eral sections beyond.

This years season Of the Deep Run
Hunt Club. which has been very success
ful in every respect, ended yesterday un-

been announced for 4 o'clock at the Fair
Grounds. but when the members gathered
there at the appointed time. they were
informed that the chase would not begin
until O'Clock. and that the meet would
be at the clubhouse. The riders, there
fore. started slowly for the kennels, pre-
ferr.ng a cut cross country to the
dusty road. The field was rather small.
owing TO the uniSvorable temperature.
The four ladies who participated in the
chase had donned summer dresses. Capt.
= II. Handbook, The master OF fox
hounds. had discarded his seal coat and
appeared in a white suit, and several
other members gave evidence that they
had been through their trunks
After leaving the clubhouse, the field
started down the road for Mr. Hand
cocks farm, which was entered and LEFT
over hurdles. Then turn 10 the right
was taken for some considerable dis
lance. and bending in northeasterly d.
rectlon, Bethlehem church was finally
reached. and from there the hunt was
continued TO the rear Of the kennels,
where the finish took place.

that the Traction Company had anything
10 do with the gate-keepers. and should
not be required 10 bear any OF the ex-
uense involved In keeping them. After
discussing the question fully. Mr.. King
offered a resolution. which was promptly
adoptcd. requesting the city Attorney 10
communicate at once with the Chesapeake

could not be amicably settled. 20 incor-
