Senator Vest this afternoon offered an
amendment in the Senate to the sundry
civil bill. which was adopted without diyi-
sion, directing the Secretary of the Treas
ury to consider and report to Congress up-
on the best plan for public building to be
erected in this city for the storage Of pub
lie documents and uncurrent files. He is
also directed to report upon the advisability
of selecting as a site for this building the
ground at the intersection Of Ohio and
Louisiana avenues between 10th and 18th
streets northwest, known as the wholesale
market or the old hay market, but his in
quiry in this respect is not confined to this
site, and he is specifically authorized to
make report upon any other available
site for hall of records inside the CITY.

NEW YORK, April 25-'"The biggest wave
ever saw aboard a ship swept over the
st. Paul at midnight Wednesday. and the
officers on the bridge, which is over fifty
feet above the water, stood knee deep in
it," said Col. William Ludlow, as he step
ped ashore from the steamship st. Paul to-

tache of the American embassy in London.
He was accompanied by Mrs. Ludlow.

Rev. Dr. Lindsay Parker, who has been

distinguished passengers on the st. Paul.
William H. Heard of Philadelphia, who

to give the reporter some information
about the country to which ne is diplomat
ically accredited, and about its limitations
Notwithstanding that the ST. Paul had
rough weather, and had to dodge several

THE DU PONT CASE.
Democrats Will Resist m Adjourn
ment Until This is Settled

The democrats of the Senate have fully
determined that they will rot permit the
adoption of an adjournment resolution un-
til a final vote has been had on the Du
Pont case. When this case was brought up
by the majority Of the committee on privi-
leges and elections it was announced as
the intention of the republicans that II
should be acted upon promptly, and there
was an expres sion Of determination that no
resistance on the part Of a minority would
be permitted to interfere with the settle
ment of the case.
At that time it was supposed that there
would be enough votes in favor of Du Pont
to insure his being given a seat in the Sem
ate. Since then doubt has arisen as to the
ability of the republicans to seat Du Pont
The case has now been fully debated and
the tables are turned to this extent-that
the supposed minority are now demanding
an immediate vote. and the nominal ma
jority are seeking delay
1t is uncertain how long the contest might
be permitted to interfere with adjournment
but 1t is practically a certainty that until
a vote is had upon this question the demo-
Gratis will resist in every way possible the
adoption of an adjournment resolution.
This is said to he the only thing that can
interfere with the adjournment Of Com
gress at very early date The republi-
cans are, of course, anxious that the ses-
sion of Congress should close as speedily
as possible. and there is no general dispo-
sitfon on the part of the democrats to pro-
long 1t. Even those democrats who think
that an early adjournment would be too
advantageous to the republicans feel that
they cannot afford to assume the resDon-
sibility themselves of keeping Congress in
session longer than necessary. They think
though, that the Du Pont case being one
of the highest privilege, and having been
fully discussed on both Sides should not
be allowed to hang over until next session

NAVAL PERSONNEL BILLS.
Secretary Herbert to Combine Them
All Into One Measure


The encounter between Congressmen Hall
and Money, resulting from a difference of
opinion over the naval personnel bills has
again called attention to the perennial strife
between the line and staff of the navy Sew
eral bills are pending in Congress intended
for the relief of the personnel Of the navy
none of which Is satisfactory to both
branches OF the service. A few weeks a go
Secretary Herbert undertook to condense
the various bills SO to embody their main
features in an omnibus bill for the benefit
OF the service generally, without preference
IN thls work, and expects to have the bill
ready for submission to the two naval com
mitteeS very soon.
IL is said he will accompany It with a re-
port setting forth the reasons for his be-
hei that one measure is better than half
dozen. which have only perplexed Con-
eress. Secretary Herbert, besides, has be-
come impatient with the action of naval
ofncers in so openly and persistently, and in
some cases conspicuously, attempting to
override the views of the department rela-
i've to the subject Of personnel Naval
oflcerS have appeared before the commit
tees and advocated measures which it was
known were not approved by the depart
ment. and this may involve serious conse-
quences to those most active in the busi-
ness. Some years ago Secretary Tracy
broke up at one fell swoop what he deemed
the unwarranted Interference of certain
oHlcers in congressional measures and 1t
is now said Mr.. Herbert may do likewise
unless officers take warning from the quar-
rel between Messrs. Hall and Money

CARDINAL SATOLLrs SUCCESSOR.
The RumOr as to the NunciO to
Mexico DfScrclifcl

Cardinal Satolli has received no intima-
ton, official or otherwise, as to his sue
cessor as papal delegate, and the report that
Delegate Alvaradi, present nunco to Mexi-
co, would succeed him at Washington, is
regarded as based only on speculation, as
no determination has been reached at
Rome. There is some doubt expressed as
to whether the delegate to Mexico would
be transferred to the United States lust as
his services in Mexico were beginning. As
yet there is no intimation of the time of
Cardinal Satolli's departure. There have
Deeen uroillclal reports current in Rome
that consistcry would assemble in June
in which case Cardinal Satolli might be
summoned to Rome, although his presence
at at the conslstory would not be imperative.
Inc general impression prevails that when
the cardinal returns to Rome he will be-
come a member of the propaganda, as
result of his intimate acquaintance with
the affairs of the church throughout the
world, and particularly in America

NOVEL ENGLISH COMPLAINT,
That American Horses Are Partially
Treated Abroad.

LONDON. April 25.-Truth objects to the
continued light handicapping of foreign
horses, and instances the case of Mr.. Rich
ard Croker's Americus, who, Truth says,
won or was placed in twenty races in the
United States last year, and who is regard
ed there about the best horse in the
country. He Is said to be too leniently
treated. The paper claims that Americus,
now one of the favorites for the Jubilee
Handicap, receives nearly twenty-eight
pounds from the English horses. 1t Is pro-
nounced to be "scandalous" and unfair
TO favor American horses in this fashion
The complaint In the above dispatch that
American horses were unduly favored in
England Is received with amusement by
the local racing contingent, who declare
that our horses have been too heavily
handicapped. Americus is not regarded as
the best horse in America. There are many
looked on as his superior.

that the democrats will be In charge at
Chicago. Everywhere 1 have been 1 found
that free silver is the battle cry. At the
meetings which 1 addressed 1 took hand
primaries, and they showed that the masses
of the people want silver
Senator Tillman's hand primary is orig
inal with him and was introduced in his
first campaign for governor in South Caro-
lima. The plan is to call upon all in the au-
dience who favor a certain thing to hold up
their right hands. Then he calls upon those
opposed to do the same thing. This he calls
hand primary. In South Carolina the
candidates stump the state together. When
Senator Tillman was running for governor
SIX years ago he and his opponent, Judge
Earle, would make claims us to carrying a
certain county. When the campaign meet
ing was held in that county Tiliman would
call upon all who Intended to vote tor him
to raise their right hands. His supp orters
would raise their hands with a shout. Then
he would call upon his opponents to raise
their right hands.
For Silver In Illinois.
"On my way from ST. Louis to Owens

an audieI Ce at Centrala, ILL.,, having re-
ceived kilograms from all along the line
asking me to stop over. found the farm
ers of both parties solid and enthusiastic
for silver
DO you think all of the states west of
the Mississippi will send silver delegations
to Chicago?"
THE only doubtful states are Iowa and
Minnesota. The democratic party in Min
nesota was swallowed up by the populists;
that is. the free silver part of the party"
DO you think there will be contesting
delegations from any of the southern
states?"
"Oh, there will be an effort to bamboozle
the silver men and to elect traitors to the
national convention. They will try to send
contestine delegations from many states
so as to get the national committee. which
has majority Of gold bugs, to seat the
bogus delegations
"WOuldnt this cause a split?"
Il wouldn't care If there was a split. /
am tired of keeping house with any such a
set anyhow"
He is Going South.
Senator Tilman's mail is filled each day
with invitations to speak in different states.
He has dc cided to make a southern tour,
but has not fixed upon the dates. He will
likely speak in Georgia, Alabama, Florida,
