 In One Day.

RAILWAY, Aug. 1z.-William Man gin, who lives at the Park House, and Mrs. Mary Stull, widow, who cooks in the same hotel, tried nine times to get married yesterday, and up to noon today, were not yet husband and wife. All arrangements had been made for the ceremony at 5 o'clock in the afternoon, but the Rev. Father Began of St. Mary's church, declared at the last moment that inasmuch as the bridegroom was a Catholic and Mrs. Stull a Protestant, he could not unite them.
 In carriage the disappointed cou- pie drove to Woodbridge, but two min isters, whose homes in that town were visited, were away. The couple drove back to Railway and found that the Rev. P. P. Coble was at Ocean Grove, the Rev. J. A. Liggett at Spring Lake, and the Rev. G. H. Payson at Asbury Park.
 To the home of the Rev. J. Mehrtens went the bridal couple, nothing daunt- ed by their i'll luck. But the Rev. MT Mehrtens was in bed sick Police Justice F'razee had gone to Elizabeth and, getting desperate, the couple called on Acting Mayor Holmes. Thai official is physician and he was mak.
 ing a sick call, so that Mangin an6 Mrs. Stull concluded there was no ont else in town with authority to marry them

A SITE PROPOSED
Bill to Purchase Ground for New Gov
ernmsnt Printing Office
Square 736, ON Which the Old Dud-
dlngton Manor Stood, tho
One Selected.

Definite action in the direction of provid-
ing an adequate building for the accom-
mediation of the government printing Of
flee was taken by the House committee on
public buildings and grounds today. At the
meeting this morning the committee di-
rected Chairman Milliken to report bill
providing for the purchase of square 73G,
containing 1000 square feet, at cost not
to exceed $4,000, as site for the pro-
posed structure.
This property is the old Carroll estate, ly-
ing southeast of the Capitol and between
the C,lpit oil ard the Baltimore and Potomac
railroad tracks. The committee selected 1t,
1t is said, because 1t Is convenient to the
Capitol building, easy of access, and a
railroad switch can be run into the
grounds connecting with the main line OF
the Baltimore and Potomac.
The committee has not decided upon the
details of the bill providing for the erec-
tion Of the building. l: Is probable, how
ever that it will authorize structure suf-
ficient to accommodate the business Of the
government for many years to come, and
to provide safe and commodious housing
for the thousands Of employees who labor
in the great printing office. 1t Is thought
that in addition 10 the main building a
warehouse will be provided for the storage
Of paper and other materials.
The committee will get to work at once,
it is said. upon the preparation Of bill
carrying into effect the proposed plans in
this regard. When the bill Is introduced it
will be placed on the calendar of the House
and Chairman Milliken will then make ar
rangements to have it called up and con-
Sidered at an early date.

A PASSING PROTEST.
What the House Action in Taking Tn
Private Bills Means.

Private Bills Means.
The action OF the House today in refus-
ing to take up the sundry civil appropria-
ton bill, and insisting upon devoting the
day to private bills, was generally regarded
as revolt against the policy of the Speak
er to keep down all but pecessary business
and clear up routine for an early auburn
ment.
Mr.. Reed has been very determined in
resisting opportunities in behalf Of private
.a.lls and the various measures of local in
terest in the districts of members, but pos
seSSing no special claim for considera ton
He has endeavored to confne the work of
Congress as far as possible TO matters of
pressing public Importance.
Appeals and demands have been made
for special reccgnitions for the considera-
ton of all sorts of little bills" but he has
insisted upon all measures of this sort to
which there could be the least objection
taking their chances on the calendar. Many
hcartburns have resulted from this policy
and much grumbling has been INDUCED in.
The impression has finally found lodge
ment that the rapid disposal of public bus
iness nd an extraordinarily early adjourn
ment would be particularly in the intere st
of Mr.. Reeds candidacy, or at least that
the policy is adopted with that view. AMI
the action today was a sort of declaration
Of independence
Among those members who want 1t to
turn out so there is much talk of revolt of
a more serious nature, resulting in the
bringing forward of many measures which
the managers do not intend shall be con-
sidered al this time, and in largely increas-
irg the appropriations for public improve
ments.
1t is not likely, however, that the demon
stration today amounts to any more than
a passing protest against having all the
time devoted to the ordinary puklic meas
ures.

THE CUBAN RESOLUTIONS
Conference Report Probably to Be Acted on
by the House Monday.
Possible Influence of Conversational
Action on Both Spain and the
Cuban Insurgents.

The managers in charge of the Cuban
resolution agreed to- in conference yester-
day do rot expect much delay in the adop-
tion OF the conference report. There may
be some talk by those who are opposed to
the resolutions, but there is no chance to
hllbuster in the House, and the sentiment
Is SO overwhelmingly in favor of the reso-
lutlons that nothing but the consumption
OF a little time could be accomplished by
speech-making. 1t was the intention of the
conferees to call up the report this morn
ing, but they were persuaded to permit the
sundry civil bill to have the right Of way,
on the grounds that 1t was of the greatest
Importance. and would take but one day.
After all, the sundry civil bill was not
taken up by the House. and 1t Is uncer-
tain whether Mr.. Hit will yield to this
Dill tomorrow, though he probably will.
Ihe probability Is that the Cuban resolu-
tlo1s Will be finally disposed of Monday
The Senate will have nothing more to saw
on the SUBJECT of these resolutions, and 1t
is most likely that the joint resolution pro-
posed pending the conference will not be
pressed to a vote
Possible Result of Their Adoption.
The belief is general that Mr. Cleveland
VIII not, for some time at least pay any
attention to the resolutions, but the fact of
tneir nnal adoption is regarded as liable to
lead to some direct resentment on the part
of Spain.
The Cubans themselves will probably be
disposed to regard this action by Congress
as sufnclent for recognition of belligerency

ticn, inasnluch as it is not fully agreed

DOCkED THE INDIANA.
Everything Connected With the
Operation Worked Well.

PORT ROYAL, S. c., March 27.-The In
diana was safely docked at 7:30 o'clock
this morning, just after the tide had be-
gun to ebb. There was an abundance of
water in the dock. the depth measuring
nearly twenty-six feet, while the Indiana
drew but twentyfour feet. Everything
connected with the docking worked beau
ifully, and there was not the slightest
mishap Chief Naval Constructor j. T.
Hanscom, who superintended the docking,
handled the monster vessel easily and we'll,
and his arrangements were perfect. The
Indiana has been off Port Royal for some
days awaiting an opportunity to be dock-
ed.
Large crowds of eXcursionists from South
Carolina and Georgia visited Port Royal
to witness the event on the day it was
scheduled to come off, but were disap-
pointed, the wind and tide not being favor
able, and the naval officers who were de-
termined not to take the slightest chance
OF an accident, postponing the docking
until all conditions were propitious.
The Navy Department received a brief
message from Port Royal this morning an
nouncing that the Indiana had passed sue
cessfully into the new dry dock. The news
was gratifying, as the department was
anxious to have the task over, though con-
fdent that it would be accomplished salts
factocily.

QUAY AND HIS LEADERS,.
The Struggle for the Chairmanship Ot
the State COMMITTEES.

The Struggle for the Chnfrmanship of
the State COMMITTEES.
Queer stories are coming to Washington
Of row in progress among the Quay lead
ers in Pennsylvania. and it is not known
how the affair will turn out.
Some time ago, when it was said that
Senator Quay would not be a candidate for
reelection as state chairman Of his party,
two of the leaders announced their inten-
ton to become candidates for the place.
They were Frank w. Leach, who is cred
tied with having given the greatest as
sistance to Senator Quay in defeating the
combine in the contest of last SUMMER, and
State Senator VIM. A. Andrews, formerly
state chairman.
Senator Quay has not announced that he
is out of the race, but Leach says he Will
be q candidate anyhow. He also talks Sc
vercly of Senator Andrews, who Is now in
the west with Gen. Clarkson working for
the anti-Mckinley combination. Mr.. Leach
publicly speaks Of these two men as a
pair of bunco-steerers," and says that
Gen. Clarkson is 'hoodoo'' of the worst
scrt, and that he has always defeated the
"old guard - at national conventions
On top of these stories Is one that Senator
Quay and David Martin have again become
friends. after years Of warfare.
Mr.. Leach was in the city the first Of this
week, and stopped at hotel instead of 60
ing to Senator Quay's home, as has been his
custom. This Is taken as a sure indication
of bilious feeling between the men.

CAPITOL TOPICS.
Dennis Murphy's successo,


Senator Hale today introduced a reso-
luton in the Senate designating Theo. F.
Shley to succeed Dennis F.. Murphy in
charge of the stenographic staff OF the
Senate. 1t went over en- objection from
Senators Hill and Quay.
The Cuban Conference Report,
Mr.. Hit, chairman Of the foreign af-
fairs committee, decided today, after con-
sultation with Speaker Reed, not to call
up the conference rercrt on the Cuban
resolutions until the sundry civil appro-
priation bill, which Mr., Cannon gave notice
he would call up today, had been passed.
1t was thought the adoption of the confer
ence report could be easily accomplished
when opportunity should offer for It's con-
sideration, and as there was no urgency
which necessitated immediate action, the
House having already gone on record, 1t
was deemed not advisable to displace an
appropriation bill.
If the sundry civil bill Is passed this
week the report probably will be called
up on Monday.

DIFFER IRRECONCILABLY
What Senator Tillman Says of the Demo-
cratic Factions
A Hot Fight Over His Threat to Bolt
Unless the Chicago Convention
Declares for Silver.

Senator Tfllman is having a red-hot fight
in South Carolina over his public deciara-
ton that he will bolt the Chicago conven-
ton should it not declare for silver. The
men who have always opposed him in that
state now manifest stronger opposition,
and the Senator is also opposed by some Of
his own faction. led by Senator Irby, who
is chairman of the state democratic execu-
tive committee. Senator Irby is a candi-
date for reelection. and having lost the
support OF the "reformers," hopes to regain
lest ground by taking a stand in favor of
remaining in the party. A year ago, il is
said, he made a speech in favor of leaving
the party. The only daily paper in the state
which has supported Senator Tillman and
his faction is now against him, but it Is
said that the large majority of the party
in the state is with the Senator, and that a
delegation will be seleced in the coming
state convention which will bolt at the
least sign that the gold-standard men have
control of the national convention.
Senator Tillman has written a long letter
to South Carolina paper, strongly backing
his position. As he is reputed to be can
cfdate fer the democratic nomination
should the silver men control the CONVEX
ton, what he says will be read by the poll
ticians. Senator Tillman's friends say that
should the silver men nominate him al Chi
dorse his nomination at St Louis. Then
they predict that he would make things
lively. The Senator is booked to make
speeches in st. Louis and Denver within a
short time, and has been invited to make
speeches throughout the west. Should he
bolt the Chicago convention, he as u lioush ut
to be almost a sure nominee of the silver
men.
IrrecGncilable Differences.
In his letter Senator TiIlman saws that
the differences in the democratic party
are as irreconcilable as they were at the
Charleston convention in 1860. THE strug-
gle then" he says, was for the extension
of slavery in the territories. Now the
issue is whether money or the people shall
rule. AS see it, the convention is bound
to split again when it meets. No fair
dealing can be expected from the men who
foisted on US the silver plank in the last
national platform. No fair dealing can
Hardin in Kentucky last fall and have
just prevented the election of Blackburn"
Senator Tillman says that any straddie
at Chicago will cause the populiSts and
silver men to sweep the south and west,
and the democratic party will be only a
name and become the third party
The fear is expressed by many South
Carolinians that should the democrats OF
the state divide on the question the re-
publicanS will step in and carry the state
for the republican ticket.
To a Star reporter Senator Tillman said
that this could not be done, and that South
Carolina would vote for a silver man for
President, be he republican, populist or
