dates for the Office of secretary: All

ton, but Mr.. Boutclle rep. Me- objected,
and the resolution was referred to the com
mittee on foreign affairs. December II Is
the date upon which the President sent his
Venezuelan message 10 the House.
The House gave its time on the 10th to
discussion OF the proposed amendments of
the rules Of the Fifty-frst Congress. which
were Professionally adopted early in the SEES
sion to govern the House. Two interesting
discussions relieved the ElOnotony OF the
technical debate. One was precipitated by
Mr.. Walker NIass.). chaftnlar of the COM
committees on banking and currency and on
mittee on banking and currency, who made
a fight against the proposition to drop. the
committee on banking and currency from
the list of committees privileged to report
bills to the House at any time partisan
debate resulted. in which Mr.. Walker was
supported by the Democrats and Repub-
lican contingent which included many free
silver men. The last Congress added the
coinage, weights and measures to the priy1-
legged list, but the committee on rules de-
cided not to alter the list of the Fifty-frst
Congress. Mr. Walker failed to carry his
point. Another surprise was brought into
the debate by Mr.. Hepburn Rep., !a), who
made q vigorous speech against the usual
rule putting in the hands of the speaker
discretion in the matter of recognizing mem
berS to speak
The House on the 18th resumed the dis
cussion Of the proposed amendments to
the rules as soon as the journal had been
read The debate was entirely technical.

NOT so WARLIKE.
The German Press Becomes More
Peaceable in Tone-The
Situation.

Berlin, Jan. 13.-There is distinctly
less stress Of feeling here in regard to
the international complication growing
out of the Transvaal crisis, and the
German press, as a rule, devoteS less
space to X than for some time. The
tone of the comment of the newspapers,
which means so much in this land of
press censorship and inspired express
sions in newspapers, is rather more
peacea BILE, and there is less talk of active
hostilities and more hope expressed of
an unarmed settlement of the question
ut issue. Expressions of irritation at
the British government and of rancor
against the English people are still more
or less bitter, however.
The Tagebatt replies to the asser-
tons made yesterday in the Westmin-
ster Gazette that Germany's attitude on
the Armenian question had alienated
Il raDproachment with France. The
Westminster Gazette added that there
was absolutely no intention on the part
of Great Britain to enter the Franco
Russian alliance. any more than the
dreibund. but Great Britain had be-
come, it was hoped. better frineds with
both France and Russia To which
the Tageblatt replies: $50 England has
sought hitherto a point d'appui in the
dreibund. Germany would not have
noticed that, unless England's careless
colonial intrigues and the unjustiiable
abuse in the English press is proof of
such an intimacy etc. If this be so,
Germany reioices that England hence
forth sheds the sunlight of her favor
on the zweibund RUSSIA and France

FORGED RECEIPTS.
Sensational Discovery i'm the Dis
tilery Failures at
Louisville.

Louisville, KY, Jan. 1O.-The failure
of BARLEY, Johnson & Co. and the Belle
o. Nelson Distillery company is further
complicated by the news that forged
warehouse receipts to the amount of
100000 had turned up. There has
been an overissue of warehouse receipts
which will amount to probably Sl25,OOO
or more, which has been made within the
past eighteen months by David BARLEY,
one of the members Of the firm of
BARLEY, Johnson & Co., and secretary
of the Belle O. Nelson Distillery COM
pany. The revelations have been a sur
prise to his associates and it will be
some days before the assignee can make
any statement about the affair.
Information is to the effect that none
of these doubtful receipts have been
pla ced with the trade but were used only
as collateral for loans. and that of this
collateral not over $4,000 is held by
Louisville parties and $50, 900 in New
York and Chicago. The hope is still ex-
pressed by the firm that the assets will
be sufficient to discharge all liabilities,
including these receipts, original and
duplicates.
These revelations have been a complete
surprise to Col. Tilford, who for two
years has given SO much attention to
his official duties as head of the board
of public safety that he was not familiar
with the financial affairs of his company
save in i general way, and the response
bllity seems to rest solely with Dave
Barley, who is now in New York, hay
iiig left here three days ago.

SUGAR TRUST CASE.
Material Victory Gained by the De-
fense-Witness Refuses to
Answer.

Washington D. c., Jan. 1O.-The pro-
ceedings in the trial of the Chapman
Sugar trust witness case were enlivened
today by the production of witness of
Secretary and Treasurer John w.
Searles of the trust" who is also under
Indictment for refusal to testify before
the Senate committee. The defense i'm
mediately objected to the testimony.
The prosecution asked him the formal
objection as to name and position, but
when questioned regarding other matters
Mr.. Searles promptly refused to testify.
District-Attorney Bierney insisted that
the court should require him to answer
the questions to him, but ex-senator Ed
munds made a brief argument, citing au-
thorities to show he was not required to
testify, that he was defendant in the
same sense and under the same circum-
stances as Chapman and that he could
not be compelled to give testimony that
might tend to incriminate himself
Judge Cole held that Searles could go
on and testify, taking the advantage of
his privilege to refuse to answer ques>
tons that might be discriminating him
self. This was the first material victory
secured by the defendant during the
whole trial. Searles refused to answer
the questions and the case was adjourned
until Monday morning

BAT SHEA MUST DIE.
Report Of the Commission will be
Refutation of McGough's
Confession.

Albany, N. Y, Jan. 1O.-There is the
best authority for the statement that
the report of the commission sent by
Gov. Morton to obtain a sworn statement
from McGough, the Dannemora prisoner
who alleges that it was he, and not Bat
Shea, who shot Robert Ross at the Troy
election riot in 1894, will form COM
plete REPUTATION of the confession which
McGough sent to the governor and upon
which Shea's counsel will ask for a new
trial. This being the case it is probable
that Shea's electrocution will take place
on February 4, the date to which the
governor granted respite.
From the time of McGough's confess
sion there was q well-defned suspicion
that his story was merely subterfuge
to save Shea's neck. McGough has nine
teen years more to serve; by that time
most of the witnesses to the Troy muir
der would be dead or would have moved
away, the public would have lost inter
est in the case and the result would be
that McCnneh could not be convicted
