TILLMAN WHISTLES.

TILLMAN WHISTLES.
Thereupon a shriIl whistling sound
from Mr.. Tiliman indicated that his
prophecy as to o'clock had been full
filed.
Mr.. PETER tried to secure unanimous
consent to go on with the resolution,
but Mr.. Hill objected.
The military academy appropriation
bill was then taken up. The debate
proceeded on the amendment of Mr..
Villas, (Dem) of Wisconsin for an in
crease of military cadet appointments
by two from each state. The discus
sion took wide range, many senators
participating and the comment includ-
ed comparisons of West Pointers and
officers appointed from civil life, also
the relative rights of officers and en-
listed men. There was frequent evil
dences of personal feeling.
Mr.. Chandler referred to the fact
that senator's left the chamber when
the appropriations bills were under
discussion.
Have we your permission to go?"
asked Mr.. Cockren.
1T is always desirable" responded
Mr.. Chandler. Ito have the senator
and his amiable disposition in the
chamber
Later Mr.. Hawley and Mr.. Allen
had a brief personal exchange.
WASTE OF WORDS.
Mr.. Allen wanted non-commissioned
officers and enlisted men included in
an amendment offered by Mr. Sewell
providing for appointments to the
army
Mr.. Hawley suggested that this was
a waste of words, as non-comnission-
ed officers were enlisted men.
The senator (Hawley) is not shed
ding any light on this subject" de-
clared Mr.. Allen sharply.
Light is needed when the senator is
discussing a question:. answered Mr.
Hawley with feeling.
1t IS not needed in this direction from
any source in that direction" con-
Guided Mr.. Allen, and senators smiled
at the earneStness of the two particf
pants in the colloquy.
After a debate of three hours Mr..
Villas amendment and all propositions
connected with it were defeated-24
to 27.
The military academy appropriation
bill was then passed substantially as
reported.
The pension appropriation bill was
then taken up. Mr.. German took &C.
casfon to state that the vast amount
OF the pension bill (about $40, OOO. OO0

hung over the treasury like a pail.

The imminent departure of the Span

rumors that the governor-general is
not on friendly terms with them owing
to an incident that occurred when all
these were in the PHILIPPINE islands. It
is also limited that Martinez Campos
left a letter in Porto Rico telling
General Weyler that Canella and Ma

1t is said several political prisoners

CINCINNATI. Ohio, Feb 1S.-The
appearance of Jackson and Walling in

state of Kentucky.
Chief of Detectives Larry Hazen made
a. thorough examination of the story of
the negro George H. jackson today. The
questions and answers were taken down
by a stenographer. The remarkable thing
about 1t is its perfect correspondence with
the stories he had previously told
THE THEORY
is now that the girl was knocked in the
head and killed and that the intention
was to kill the negro and feave him with
pistol in his hand. The fact that the
carriage was recognized going to the
scene of the murder over the NeWport
bridge, and that it did not return by that
bridge, though a return ticket had been
purchased, is taken as an indication that
the murderers thought the negro would
rush back and report the fact of the MUIR
der. Bridge tickets found in Jacksons pos-
session indicate that the country over
there had been explored by him before
the murder.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 18.-The SEES
sion of the senate today furnished a
succession of breezy Incidents. Little
actual work was accomplished, but
brief debates on a number of subjects
developed frequent sharp personal eX-
changes between the senators.
Mr.. Hill. of New York, had a lively
tilt with Mr. Ti1lman of South Caro-
lima, during the debate on Mr.. Peffers
resolution for a senate investigation
of the racent pond issue.

commission in conducting their in
uuiry. Mr.. Chandler and Mr.. Cockrell
had an animated but good natured col
loquy and General Hawley and Mr.
Allen had a difference somewhat less
good natured.
Two appropriation bills, the military
academy and the pension bill were
passed during the day. Efforts We're
made to amend the military academy
bill by increasing the number of ca
diets by two from each state, ninety
in all, but after a debate of three
hours the plan was defeated. The pen
sion appropriation bill, carrying $142.-
100000 was passed after ten minutes

ATTEMPTS Ar RESCUE.


There are two shafts in addition to
the one in which the explosion took
place. In the upper of these two the
rescuers are in about 800 feet and it is
thought that air can be forced into
some Of the rooms, but none Of those
in the mine have come out and 1t Is
feared that this is conclusive evidence
that all are dead In the main tunnel
men are at work building a division
with boards and canvas through which
air can be forced in on the one side
and the foul gas driven from the other,
but this is slow work and there is no
possibility of getting far enough in
the mine to recover any bodies before
tomorrow morning The
CAUSE OF THE EXPLOSION
is not yet known. The coal fields in
which the Vulcan mine is located have
been troubled with subterranean fires
for many years. In many places over
a distance of eighty to a hundred
miles smoke has issued from creviees
in the rocks since the country was first
known to white men, and in later years
more than one valuable coal mine has
been destroyed by fire breaking into
the workings Little over a year ago
the mines of the Vulcan company had
to be flooded on this account and the
old workings have never been reopened.
The drift where today's accident oc-
CURED was a new one. 1t is thought
that the disaster may have been
caused by breaking into an immense
pocket of gas generated by these ever
lasting fires. On February 8, State
Coal Mine Inspector Griffith inspected
the mine and pronounced it in splendid
condition, and the work is said to have
been done at all times in the most
careful manner.

The number of victims can not be
accurately stated, estimates running
from fifty to seventy. Those best in

Morton, which would have given him
additional power to enforce regulations
and have strengthened the law by the
imposition of penalties for violations

Bills were passed to permit the
Kansas & Fort Scott railroad to extend
its lines into the Indian territory; to
dispose of the Fort klamath hay res
ervation and to grant the Columbia &,

through the Colville reservation.
A resolution was adopted directing
the committee on ways and means to
investigate the effect of the difference
of exchange between gold and silver
standard countries upon the manufac-
turing industries of the United States
Notice was also given that the con-
tested election case of Van Horn VS..
Tarsney would be called up next Tues
day
Mr.. NewIands, who presented the
ways and means investigating resolu-
ton. stated that the chamber of com
merce Of San Francisco has called the
attention of the country to the
INVASION OF PRODUCTS
from Oriental countries, especially
Japan California had already felt
the effect of this competition. He re
called the invasions of the Chinese and
their absorption of every industry
which they had attacked, which had
led to their exclusion. The Pacific
coast, he said, was now threatened
with the invasion of the products of
tries. He gave some information re-
garding the cheap prices at which
Japanese watches, brushes, cottons.
woolens. etc, were being sold in the
San Francisco markets. Even bicycles,
ne said, were being imported and sold
for So apiece. He described how
bicycles could be manufactured in
Japan for S12 in silver and sold here
for $12 in gold. The increase in the
price of silver, he thought, would take
from the Oriental countries the ad
vantages they now possessed.
The house then went into committee
of the whole and resumed the con-
sideration of the agricultural appro-
priation bill

Secretary Morton's course, character
lied it as the ''grossest usurpation Of

THE PROCEEDINGS.

When the senate met at noon today
Mr. Allen (Pop.) of Nebraska, asked
the finance committee what steps were
to be taken toward a conference with
the house on the silver bond bill. 1t
was explained that the house had not
asked for a conference on its non-con-
currence and no further action was
taken.
Mr., Allen continued his criticism of
the committee at considerable length.
Mr.. Peffer sought to secure action on
his resolution for creation of a special
committee of five senators to inquire
into the circumstances of the recent
bond issues
Mr.. Sherman moved to refer the res
olution to the finance committee He
said that if such an inquiry was made
a regular committee of the senate
should conduct it, thus avoiding need
less expense of a special inquiry. Mr..
Sherman said that as a rule he consid
cred it desirable when charges of i'm
propriety were made against officials
of the government that an inquiry
should be made

lieved an investigation should be made
TILLMAN AND HILL.
The appearance of Mr. Hill Dem.
N. W in opposition to the proposed
inquiry was the signal for spirited
debate. He was opposed, he said, to
any investigation at this time by the
finance committee or any other com
mittee. He deprecated the custom of
following up every rumor, every indef-
mite charge that the right thing had
not been done The senate had here
tofore dignif1ed such rurnors by serious
investigation, 1t was a pandering to
idle curiosity. The senator Peffer)
who proposed this inquiry did not make
personal charges against the president
or secretary of the treasury.
But I make the charge" exclaimed
Mr.. Stewart, rising and moving down
the middle aisle
Mr.. Hill waved Mr.. Stewart back
and declined to yield to the Interrupt
ton.
But let me make the charge" in
sisted Mr.. Stewart

thing" said Mr.. Hill, still declining to
yield

Chicago Change.

Chicago, H., April 30.-Strength prevailed in wheat today, the days trading resulting in a moderate gain in prices. Final Hquida- ton by the longs and shorts incidental to the last day of the month was in order but aside from that there was good buying by several of the long operators, notably by Armour. The main circumstance responsi- ble for the firmness seemed to be the rains in the northwest and the consequent retar- dation to seeding in that section. About the middle of the session the pressure of offer ings became more pronounced than the de- mand and a decline took place, but before the close prices were back to where they were around the opening. July wheat open- ed at 639sq63% and GAG, sold between 641sQ 83A and 63ssc, closing at GAG, ss@1ao higher than yesterday. Cash wheat was firm at yesterdays prices.
 Corn-A general cleaning up took place in corn, but the trade was entirely devoid of feature or incident entitling it to dstinc- tion. The advances and declines in wheat were reproduced in this market on lesser scale, however. News was scarce, nothing aside from the regular statistical informa- ion being received. July corn opened at ;.a3sc, sold at S01sq3014c, closing at s0asc, 1sc 1igahsnr a no than hap yesterday; Cash corn was easy
 Oats were quiet and without mark or sign of interest. The last day of the month brought some liquidation both by holders and shorts, but no large or influential trad tng occurred. July oats closed unchanged from yesterday. Cash oats were easy and Ac lower.
 Provisions--An easier hog market cast an unfavorable influence over products this morning. but prices did not suffer much. July pork closed 1OQ121ac higher, July lard 2lac higher and July ribs 5c higher than yes- terday,
