Unanimous Decision of Committee No.

quired Into.

The Committee on Elections No. re-
ported through Mr.. johnson resolutions
declaring that Henry C. Miner, the regu-
lar Der. 'cratic candidate for Congress from
the Ninth New York district, was duly
elected.
The report showed that Timothy j.
Campbell, the Independent Democratic can

tain the allegations made by him in his no.

imous voice of the committee. The resolu-
tions were agreed to without discussion.
On motion Of Mr.. Payne a resolution was
agreed to directing the Secretary of the
Treasury to furnish the House the report
made to the Treasury Department in No
vember, 1890, by Henry W. Elliott upon
the condition Of the fur seal industry.
Mr.. Wilson asked consent for the con-

schools OF mines in all public land States,
not to exceed $4,000 to any one State,
upon condition that the States appropriate
an equal amount from their public funds to

Weary Willie blew through the green baize

He was chunky, chubby, truncated little
fellow with the frost of tbree-score winters

bloodshot, and seemed as though no tear of
remorse had ever fallen there to quencb the

The old man took off his tattered cap and
pulled it through and through his hands as
he leaned upon the golden rail. The desk

FOR RIVER IMPROVEMENTS.
Philadelphians Came TO Washington
to Present Their Plea.

A formidable delegation of prominent
citizens, representing the various trade and
commercial bodies of Philadelphia came
to Washington this afternoon to make a
determined appeal to the House Committee
on Rivers and Harbors for a favorable
action on bill providing for the improve
ment of the Della ware River channel and
Philhadelphia's harbor.
The hearing before the committee was Sc
cured by Congressman Reyburn in response
to request by the Master Builders EX-
change. With the latter organization all
the other bodies are now acting. and
nothing in the way of convincing argu-
ment will be left undone TO secure favor
able consideration Of the all-iInportant
subject.
The party was met by Senators Quay and
Cameron and all the Philadelphia Con-
2ressrnen. 1t was made up as follows:

"Down in Dixie" at the Academy.

A well-filled house greeted the perform
ance of Scott Marbles comedy-drama,
Down in Dixie" at the Academy last
evening. Milt g. Barlow as Bocau Green,
the old Southern darky, was particularly
well received, and the pranks of the score
of picka ninnies he has in charge greatly
amused the audience. - ---is 49,
The play is typical OF certain phase OF
Southern life, and the various characters
are true sons of Dixie, and while the gen.
eral theme of the play is similar to others
Of its kind, it is especially brilliant in its
exceptions.
The pickaninny band called forth, re-
peated outbursts of applause, and little
Rosie, the midget whistling wonder, was
very amusing in her part of tomboy leader
Of the little darkies. Plantation melodies
with banjo accompaniment abound through
out the production, and the dances OF Mann
ME Green brought down the house. The
performance continues during the week.

Did you ever breathe the atmosphere of

Did YOU ever breathe the atmosphere of
police station?
great number OF people have. mo '7'
Wei, police station has an atmosphere
as distinctively its own as the theater,
newspaper office, drug store, underta ker' s
office or any other place, just as distinctive
as the Chinese laundry with its stencil OF
dirty steam, smOldering punk and Oriental
tobacco; just as distinctive as q ships fore
castle with Its seasick smell of rope, Oil.
lime chloride and holystoning sand and
soap; Just as distinctive as the odors OF a
country store with its box OF ginger snaps,
barrel OF fish and jars of green pickles
and rcd and white peppermint candy.
Yes, every police station smells like ev-
cry other police station. The police do
not know this, on the principle that it is
usually more difficult to furnish a descrip-
. tiopOfa man whom you have knowna life
time than OF a man with whom you have
a casual acquaintance.
1t is not easy to analyze the atmosphere
OF police station. In the rear OF every
station, ut least in this department, there
is a Cell room, and from this a dank, dark,
damp, sunless smell comes out, mixed with
that OF coal gas n nd ashes from the
stoves that try to heat the cells. Thenfhers
is the squad room, nearly always white,
blue or gray, and always dim with the
smoke that curls upward from pipes and
cigars, good, bad and worse.
A lot OF old helmets and uniforms hang
around thesw:lls on pegs. and these emit
a sort OF musty. secondhand odor in which
the airs of all the beats in that precinct
are blended. On one. side OF the squad room
are the racks of clubs and belts. and a
Across the hall is the wash room. Various
kinds OF soap and shoe backing send out
their scents. mingled with that OF carbolie
disinfectant. Near this a clean. fresh smell
comes from the spotless Sheets and pillow
cases in the sergeants' sroo,a- ,.,r--,,. =
Then, there is the private apartment
OF the lieutenant. which Is usually on the
right as you enter. This is a room which
is occupied. as a rule. but little, and when
not occupied is kept locked up..H has the
same smell as one OF these quiet little
parlors with a melodeon in one corner and
center table with a photograph album,
family Bible. and a bouquet of glass
covered wax flowers. This kind of a quiet
little parIor ia swept out once.a. week and
then shut up till the next sweep or until
company comes in. Well. the Ileutenant's
room smells just like this, making another
scent that goes out to blend with the
others. These are the component parts of
the atmosphere which makes every station
house smell just like every other station
house.

Heard BY fh0
Desk Sergeant

The green door of police station No.
| swung slightly open and wintry blast
swept through the office. 1t clustered in
with an icy breath. 1t fluttcred the yellow
gas jet, strewed package or warrants and
summonses on the floor, made the office
cat cuddie closer 10 the glowing stove, and
caused Desk Sergeant August Voss to
wheel round in his revolving chair to see
who it was who had thus disturbed the
calm and warmth OF the station and at such
dreary hourof the night.
He looked toward the door that still
creaked on its hinges rs IL ylbrated to and
fro but saw nothing but the official papers
as the rushing draught coquetted with them.
He continued to look In the direction OF
the door, but without result. He yawned
a few times, stretched himself, rubbed his
eyes, shivered once or twice, adjusted his
specs and looked again.
The mystery deepened. An expression OF
establishment began to play across his
kindly face. He did not see pair OF rosy
dimpled little hands that rea ched upward and
grasped the golden rail that runs along the
top OF the oaken pickets that fence In the
dais occupied by the sergeants and clerks

ALL STUDY WAGNER.
The Festival Next Week Bids Fair to
BE of Great Educat ionel Value.

Interest in tie Wagner festival, at the
Grand Opera House the last half of next
week grows more intense as the opening
of the engagement draws near.
The fact that it will afford the first OPP
portunity Washington has had for many
years to see Wagerian opera adequately
produced has given great impetus to the
study of the methods and philosophy of the
master.
On every side those who will hear the
opera are devoting themselves TO 4 study
OF Wagner. The four operas 10 be studied
here are in a high degree characteristic OF
Wagner.
Tannhauser represents the earlier fruits
of his genius AID the works around which

while ..Waikure," "Siegfried'' ard ''Meis-
tersinger'' are later and perhaps more MA

ton Of Secretary Morton.
HIS SPEECH IN THE SENATE
The Speaker Cha lined That the Cabinet
Officer L. winfu1iy Dis0beying
Solemn Ma ndate of Congress-HeD De-
mands That Obedience to the Law Of
Seed Distribution Be Compelled.

Mr.. Hansbrough addressed the Senate
today on the subject of the failure of the
Secretary OF Agriculture TO execute the
law on the subject Of seed distribution.
The essence OF the controversy, he said.
lay In the proposition whether an executive
officer of the government has the right TO
willfulIy, deliberately, designedIy, and, as
in this case, premeditatedly, ignore a
solemn statute of Congress.
He believed it could be shown that the
Secretary OF Agriculture had disobeyed the
mandate of the legislative branch of the
government. The last Congress had made
an appropriation of $4,000 to be used
in the purchase and distribution of field and
garden seeds, trees, cuttings, buibs, etc, as
required by law. .--....-..
The Secretary had first showed his de-
liberate purpose to evade that law when
he asked the Attorney General for an ill.,
depreciation of the statute with reference
to the purchase of seeds.
LITTLE CONSOLATION
There was nothing at all in the opinion OF
the Attorney General which was inconsist-
ent with the prior work of the Department,
SO that the Secretary derived but little c6n.'
ISOLATION from the opinion OF the Attorney
General.

Trial Board Quickly Disposed of the
otc Charges Against Him.


nrc Charges Against Him.
Patrolman James E. Schuyler, of the First
precinct, who was tried by the police trial
board some weeks ago On the charge OF lar
ceny from brother officer of $50, has been
completely eXonerated by the board.
There was not the slightest evidence
offered that tended to incriminate him. and
the charges were thrown out almost imme-
diatelyA and he was returned at once to
duty.
schuy1er's record as an officer is one Of
the best in the department, and his per-
sonal character was never questioned until
the hasty action of Lieut.. Amiss fastened
suspicion upon him and caused his suspen-
SION.
The heads of the department condemned
the action.af the lieutenant at the time, and
expressed their belief In Schuyler's inno-
cence. The subsequent findings OF the trial
board, after careful investigation, proved
bis innocence.
