DEFEATED BY A TIE VOTE.
Mr. Bacon's Resolution to Prohibit the Fur ther Issue of Bonds.

Washington, Feb. 25.-The senate com mittee on finance met this morning for the consideration of a number of matters of minor importance. The only measure of any political significance that was considered was the resolution of Senator Bacon, democrat, of Georgia, prohibiting the further issue of bonds unless such bonds were previously authorized by act of congress. MT. Harris, democrat of Tennessee, insisted that a vote be taken on the subject, for he desired the resou tion reported. This precipitated a dis cussion, in which all the members of the committee engaged. There were absent Messrs. Jones of Arkansas and Voor- hees of the democrats and Wolcott of the republicans. The committee divided on party lines, MT. Jones of Nevada joining with the democrats. The republicans urged that the result of such a resolution by congress would mean the repeal of the resumption act, under which alone the government now has authority to issue bonds To repeal that act, MT. Sherman contended, would be to commit financial suicide. It would leave the treasury stranded without a means of relief in the event of trouble. Republicans and sound money democrats, he assured the silver members of the committee, would not consent to such an act being passed by congress. The silver men held that while the passage of such a resolution would operate as a repeal of the existing authority under which bonds were issued, it would be the best thing for the country, as 1t would then force the free coinage of silver as the only means through which existing financial Ills could be cured.
 The committee by tie Vote failed to pass Mr. Aldrichs motion to report the resolution adversely, the vote being as follows: To report adversely-Messrs. Morrir, Sherman Allison, Aldrich and Platt, all republicans Against reporting adversely-Messrs. Harris, Vest, White and Walthall, democrats, and Jones of Nevada, populist.
 The resolution by the vote still remains before the committee.

REPORTED TO THE HOUSE.
The Resolutions Censuring Ambassador for the Utterances Contained in His Speeches
 Abroad.

Washington Feb. 25.-The resolutions censuring Ambassador bayard for the utterances contained in his late speeches at Edinburg and Boston, Eng, which were adopted several weeks ago by the house foreign affairs committee, were reported to the house this afternoon by MT. Hit, chairman of the committee. The preamble recites the language used by MT. Bayard and continues:
 Resolved, That it is the sense of the house of representatives that Thomas F. Bayard ambassador of the United States to Great Britain, in publicly using the language above quoted has committed an offepse against diplomatic propriety and abuse of the privileges of his exalted position which should make him the representative of the whole country, and not of any political party. Such utter ances are wholly inconsistent with that prudent delicate and scrupulous reserve which he himself, while secretary of state, enjoined upon all diplomatic agents of the United States. In one speech he affronts the great body of his countrymcn who believe in the policy of protection. In the other speech he of fends all his countrymen who believe that Americans are capable of self-gov- ernment Therefore, as the immediate representatives of the American people, and in their name, we condemn and cen sure such utterances of Thomas F. Bayard.
 Resolved further That in the opinion of the house of representatives public speeches by our diplomatic or consular officers abroad which display partisan ship or which condemn any political party or party policy or organization of citizens in the United States are in dere- fiction of the duty of such officers. im- pair their usefulness as public servants and diminish the confidence which they should always command at home and abroad"
 The report accompanying the resolu- tions also contains the language com plained of. rectes the fact that all the correspondence bearing upon the subject was transmitted by the president to the house January 20 last. and closes with the statement that MT. Bayard did make such speeches and no action had been taken thereon.''
 The committee therefore respectfully recommended the adoption of the resolu- tiOnS.

ALEXANDER CITY.
Captain Johnston Gave the People an Un
 expected Treat

expected Treat.
 Alexander City, Feb. 25.-(Special)- Captain Johnston paid an unexpected visit here today, but he captured the town. His coming was known to but a few of his friends, who met him at the train at noon. When it became gener- ally known that he was in the city he was urged to make a speech. His friends se- cured the court house and made all neces- sary arrangements. The time was short in which to notify the people, but not withstanding that fact the town turned out en maSse and nearly filled the court house, many ladies being present. He was attentively listened to and at times his speech was roundly applauded.
 There Is no longer any doubt that he is Alexander City's first choice, as well as being first choice of Tallapoosa coun- ty. The captain won crowning victory here tonight. His firm stand his un- biased and unfettered democratic princi- ples has merited not only the firm friend ship of his host of old friends here, but he has added to his list many others, who heretofore have been led to believe that he was traitor to his constituents and an enemy to his party. It was solid score.
 Captain Johnston goes from here direct to Opelika, where he will speak tomor- row night, and from there to Prattville.

To Celebrate Monroe's Birthday.

Detroit, Mich, Feb. 25-The democratic state central committee met here this afternoon and selected Detroit as the place for holding the state convention to elect delegates at large to the national convention at Chicago. The date of the convention will be April 29. The indiea- lions are that there will be bitter fight for the delegates between the gold ana silver men. The convention will also se- lect new state central committee. On the evening preceding the convention there will be a monster mass meeting to commemorate the birthday of President Monroe, in which some democrats of na- tional prominence will be asked to par titipate.

CAPTAIN HEAVY MISTAKEN FOR JAMESON
The Prisoners Were Taken Off the Victoria on Police Launch Fifteen Miles Below London-A Large Crowd
 Met Them al the Pier.

London, Feb. 25.-The steamer Victo- ria with Dr. Jameson on board, anchored in the Thames at Purfieet, fifteen miles from London at 1:30 o'clock this after noon.
 Dr. Jameson with his officers, was taken off the steamer Victoria by police launch, which reached Waterloo at 6:30 D. m. A large crowd had gathered at the pier, and when Jameson appeared he was loudly cheered. The party entered two omnibuses, which conveyed them to the Bow street police court, the crowd run ming alongside the vehicles throughout the journey. Upon their arrival at the Bow street court Dr. Jameson and his comrades were promptly arraigned be- fore the magistrate upon formal charges. After hearing evidence briefly the mag istrate adjourned the examination for fortnight, releasing Jameson and the others upon their own recognlzances of f2000 each.
 In anticipation of pr. Jameson's ar raignment large crowd of people, com posed principally of members of the arr istocracy, assembled in the court room before noon and awaited Jamesons arr rival Seated upon the bench with the lildB lslTdltS were tfe Luxe OI ADeTCO1H, Lord and Lady Abingdon, Sir George Gerald Foley and Lady Foley, Wis count Chelza and Hon. Robert Arthur Ward, members of the house of com mons respectively for Bury, St. Ed munds and the Crewe division of Chesire.
 Four others were charged with Dr.. Jameson with having made war upon friendly state. Jameson and his com panions were loudly cheered as they en- tered the court room and there was renewal of the popular enthusiasm after the party got inside the magistrate be- ing unable to put a stop to the demon- stration. The party were again eheered as they left the court room, and were followed after they got outside by a great crowd, who repeatedly gave ex- pression to their enthusiasm in cheers. Captain Heany the American, was transferred from the Victoria to a tug, which landed him at Firth, thirteen miles below London, at 2:30 D. m. He arrived at the Fenchurch Street Railway sta ton at , D. m. He walked through the station without being recognized, but a large crowd assembled outside the sta ton cheered him enthusiastically, mis- taking him for Jameson. The crowd fol- lowed him to the Mark Lane station of the underground railway, cheering him repeatedly on the way. At the Mark Lane station he was met by a body guard of friends.

can only be learned by a chance incident or information from outside sources. The Cubans can play that game, too.'
 J. D. Hart is expected of being part owner of the filibuster Laurada, which left New York on October 20 for Cuba. He said: "The Bermuda is owned by a Dr. Kuhn of Baltimore, who chartered her six months ago for the fruit bus iness All the money found on the steamer was intended for the fruit trade"
 The revenue officers are in charge of the steamer lighter James s. T. Stran- ahan. The lighter is heavily loaded with boxes and packages on deck, and her hold is said to be full of munitions of war.
 Marshal Mccarthy this morning told the story of the capture of General Gar cia. He said:
 At 1 o'clock this morning after we had arrested the Bermuda the tug Me Callen was sighted heading for the tili- buster. Before we got to her she had put several men on board. Then she saw us coming, and casting off her lines started swiftly toward the Liberty island dock at the Battery. Captain Bradley of the Hudson jingled for full steam and the cutter dashed after her. One hun dred and fifty yards from the Battery wall we ran her down and captured the tug. General Garcia was on board. The d set his mouth hard and looked out over the bay My men were sorry for him, and, to tell the truth, I was myself. Not a man escaped, but we got every man who started for that ship. The arms and ammunition were sent to the Der muda until the last moment
 "The Stranahan was caught only after a long chase toward the Narrows. She had about thirty or forty tons of ammu- milton on board. None of the men on the Bermuda made any resistance when we went aboard last night except the stew ard He swore like typical Spanish pi- rate, and threatened to cut everybody's heart out right there. Two of my depu- ties grabbed him and put him on the Hudson. Then he subsided.
 After the seizure the Cubans mobbed Pinkerton detective on the Bermuda, and but for the timely help of the marshals men they would have killed him.
 MT James McCallen, speaking for Me Callen Brothers. owners of the tugs, w. J. McCallen and McCallen Brothers, said: "We knew nothing of any fllibustering intent. Waewere hired to nut stores and men on steamer. We did not when we made the contract even know the pame of the steamer We took the contract at ordinary rates and were trying to carry it out when we were boarded by the revenue tug. At that time we had made no effort to put the men or stores aboard the Bermuda.
 "Our captains and men were not put under arrest. Our tugs were detained at the barge office and I went and com nlained to United States Marshal Me Carthy. He went with me to the United States district attorneys office. The dis trict attorney told them they had no legal excuse for holding our boats. Then they gave me an order to the deputy marshals they had left in charge of the tugs and the tugs were released. They are at work in the harbor now"
 "Who made the contract with you?"
 'I prefer not to say. It was made in the ordinary way of business and we tried to carry it out. We violated no law and can be subjected to no penalties"

A Valuable Church Burned.

Richmond, Va, Feb. 25.-The Grace Street Baptist church, the largest church building in the city, and which was com pleted two years ago at a cost of $65,O00, was totally destroyed by fire this after noon, the fire originating from defec- tive f1ue. There was $25, 900 in a separate building. Rev. Dr. William E. Hatcher is the pastor. The flames communicated to the Richmond Female seminary, To- cated directly across the street. and that building was damaged to the extent of some $2000. Flying brands set fire to the roofs of some half dozen houses in the southern part of the city, but none of these houses suffered materially. Only the direction of the wind prevented the burning of some of the most valuable business property on Broad street, the chief retail portion of the city. Great excitement prevailed during the progress of the fire
