IMPORTANT MATTERS PASSED.
House Adopts Cuban Resolutions
By Big Majority.

The River and Harbor Bill Also Goes
Through the House-Debate Was very
Brief-Minor Matters in the Senate.
Washington, April 6.-The H ouse gal
leries were filled today with throng of
people to hear the vote taken upon the
| Cuban resolutions There was an unus-
ually full attendance of members.
Mr.. Hit, chairman of the committee
! on foreign affairs, demanded the regular
order, the vote on the question of agree
ing to the report of the committee on
conference recommending the adoption
of the Senate resolutions regarding Cuba.
instead of those primarily adopted by the
House. Mr.. Tucker demanded the
yeas and nays and they were ordered
The result was announced: Yeas 244,
nays az. So the report of the conference
committee was agreed to.
Negative votes were cast by Messrs.
Arnold, Atwood, Black, Boutelle, Dan
iels, Draper, Gillette, Gillett, Grout, Le-
fevre, Mccall, Moody. Poole, Simpkins,
Wadsworth, Walker and Wright, Repuli-
cans and Berry, Black, Culberson, Elicit,
Elliott. Lockhart, Tucker, Turner and
Tyler, Va. Democrats 27. The galleries
united with members in applause.
Mr.. Hooker moved that the House
pass, under suspension of the rules, the
river and harbor appropriation bill.
MIR. Richardson-"Is it not the pur-
pose to read the bill whio carries an ap-
preparation of ten million of dollars.''
Mr.. Hooker-"There is no objection to
reading the bill if desired. I ask that
second to the motion be considered as
ordered"
Mr.. Dookery-''I have no objection to
considering the second as ordered, but
do object to dispensing with the read
ing of the bill.n
"he Speaker-"1f any gentleman de-
sires the bill must be read"
In the debate on the river and harbor
bill, twenty minutes were allowed to
each side. Mr.. Hepburn, Republican
OF Iowa, spoke against the bill. He said
he saw that Maine had secured ST, 500, coo,
Massachusetts, 81, 954, 600. Rhode Island
$3.50, 900, Connecticut 1896, 600, New York,
local interest had thus been judiciously
placed to secure the passage of the bill.
Mr.. Hepburn spoke of the viciousness
of the system summoned to bring a bill
into the House, carrying obligations TO
the amount of $e2, 600, co., and to demand
that it be passed with only forty minutes
debate and withoutsssan -Sopportunity to
amend it. Mr.. Catchings, Democrat OF
| Mississippi, chairman of the committee
in the last Congress favored the bill.
Mr.. Hooker, Republican of New York
closed the debate advocating the passage
of the bill. Upon the question of sus-
pending the rules and passing the bill,
| the vote by division stood, ayes, ZIG;
| nays, 40.
An effort to secure vote by yeas and
nays failed.
Mr.. Grosvenor, Republican of Ohio,
reported "the filled cheese BILL" from
the committee on ways and means.
The House then adjourned.

opened and Generals Harrison and Tracey
were seen. At s. 33 O'Clock, the bride ap
peared and fell in behind the ushers. At
the same moment the minister nodded
his head, signalling the groom to step
forward. Gen. Harrison and his best
man at once came forward and stood up
on the top chancel step.
Immediately the bridal procession was
begun. The two ushers walked well for
ward and took position on the second
chancelsstep, the BRIDE leaning upon the
arm OF Lieut.. Parker, with head erect
and thoroughly self-composed, followed.
AS the bridal party approached the
chancel, Gen. Harrison came down the
steps to the floor to receive his bride
her right hand. which the groom clasped
in his left Then the oouplo marched up
the step to the centre of the altar, where
they knelt moment inEprayer. %
Z The reading of the Protestant Episcopal
ceremony was at once begun. Both Gen.
Harrison and Mrs. Dimmick faced the
minister, and listened intently to his
words. When the question was propound-
ed to the groom, "Wilt thou have this
woman to be thy welded wifs?" etc., the
General responded in subdued, almost
inaudiDle tones. When the same question
was put to the bride, she ans wered in a
clear. musical voice.
The bride was given away by Lie ut.
Parker and the ceremony proceeded il, the
usual manner to the end. The final words
that made Gen. Harrison and Mrs. Dim
mick one were pronounced at seventeen
minutes TO SIX O'clock.
DIR. Brown shook hands with both and
offered his congratulations. The eg-Presi-
dent then extended his right arm to his
bride, aud to the strains Of the Tnnnhausor
wedding II arch, they flied down the CEN
tire aisle. The party at once left the
church and entered the carriage await
ing them. The bridal party was driven
to the residence of Mrs Pinchot, No. 2
Grammercy Park, where light refresh
ment wers served. Here the bride and
groom donned their travelling attire.
Soon after seven o'clock the party drove
to the Pennsylvania railroad station, in
Jersey City, and boarded the, private car
of Vice President Thomson which was
coupled to the regular 7.30 train west,
and the bride and groom left at once for
Indianapolis. The fact that Gen. Har-
rison's daughtor, Mrs. Mckee, and his
son, Russell B. Harrison, were not at
the wedding ooeasioned considerable COM
ment. The honeymoon will ba spent in
Gen. Harrison's home in indianapolis,
which has been renovated for the ooca-
sion. Later the couple will go to the
Adirondacks.

Northern Lights" drew another packed house at the Grand Opera house last night It is certainly one of the best and brightest presentations seen abounds in thrilling scenes everything about it is presented in a perfectly natural manner and with such effec- tiveness that the audience Is kept in a fever of excitement until the fall of the final curtain. The drama appeals to it's audience in the realism of it's scenes of United States army life and of Indian character and of the methods of warfare pursued by the red man. MT. Maurice Freeman as John Swift wind plays the part capitally and is ably supported by William Humphrey and Ed, Dennison.

GOLD ENGAGEMENTS.

Why Orders in London Are Kept Sec
 ret Now.
 New York, Oct 16--Tt is announced in Wall street to-day that Ladenburg, Thalmann & Go. have $250,000 gold on the Etruria, due here next week. Lag ard Freres $60o,000 on the same vessel, and s1,200,000 on the Normannia, also due next week, and the Bank of British North America S250,000 on the Norman mia, making $2.3OO,0 900 to arrive next week.
 It is said this morning by a we'll known banker, that the reason that the gold importers are reluctant to admit their engagements of gold on the other side for shipment to this country is that they are unwilling to have it ap- pear to country bankers that the gold Is being got too easily and so cause a decline in the premium that they have received for 1t. The longer the announc- ment of the expected importation is de- layed the more likelihood of an increase in the premium. This criticism, of course, only applies to purchases of gold now being made by timid persons
 
 especially in the country. The greater part of the gold now being imported is for the fulfilment of contracts made two months ago, or, as in the case of the gold taken out of the treasury yes terday, to replace gold imported then for the same purpose.
 The engagements of gold announced this morning as above composed mainly of the gold sold by the Bank of Eng land to-day, amounting to G423, 00( ($2, 115.000) in American coin. The steamship Columbia of the Hamburg American line, which arrived this morning, brought S1645,000, consigned as follows: Heidelbach, Ickelheimer & Co.,, s500,00 National City Bank, $115,- GOO; Lazard Freres, $1,030, ,000 Of this sum s700,O00 was deposited in the United States treasury for examina tion and verification, and the treasury officials expect to receive more to-day and to-
