day MIR. Cannon moved that the votes
he suspended and the sundry civil bill
be passed. The clerk proceeded to read
the bill.
When the reading of the sundry civil
appropriation bill had been completed.
MIR. Sayers Democrat of Texas, criticized
the passage of the bill under suspension
of the rules, containing as it did, large
appropriations for rivers and harbors, OF
which sufficient information had not
been furnished, and upon which separ-
ate vote should be had.
Mr. Pearson, Republican of North
Carolina. made sharp attack on the
river and harbor items. He criticized
particularly the fact tnat every member
of the committee had in the bill an ap-
preparation of about 100000 for some
improvements In this state. The sundry
civil bill was passed, its opponents not
being numerous enough TO even secure a
vote by yeas and nays. The Senate
amendments to the agricultural apprOpri-
alton bill were non-concurred In and sent
to conference.
The resolutions reported from elections

warships of the powers and will not he

foreign warships are practically blookad-

The Turks under cover OF fire OF the
fortress, made sortie on Saturday up
on the Helepa quarter of the town. where
a hot fight ensued, resulting in the Turks
being driven back by the Christians and
compelled to retire to the fortress. AT
ter nightfall a force of 17G0 Moslems,
regulars and volunteers, made another
sortie which was stoutly opposed by the
Christians. The fighting which ensued
was of a desperate character and the loss
es on both sides were heavy. The Mos
lens finally returned to the fortress. 1t

the warships of the powers, the Greek
transport ships may succeed in landing

Bill Carrying Appropriation for Port

Opoosition Not Sufficient to Secure Yea and

Importance Disposed of. FL
Washington, February 15.--Mr. Nor
gan succeeded in side-tracking the gen
sral treaty of arbitration this morning
and sprung sensation upon the Senate.
In o,sn Senate he called up his resolu-
tlon declaring the Clay ton Bull wer trea-
sy to be abrogated.
Mr. Sherman objected and commended
that this roslution being joint in its
character, could not be considered dur
ING the morning hour without being
voted upon.
The chair sustained him and Mr.. Nor
gan took an appeal. Several efforts
were ,pade TO secure unanimous consent,
INT Mr.. Sherman objected every time.
Then Mr.. Morgan moved to take up mis-
resolution, and to the surprise of every
one il prevailed by the close vote of 81
to 81. Mr.. Morgan was proceeding to
discuss the resolution, when Mr.. Hoar
suggested that the subject was executive
session business, and the Vice-President
directed the sergeant-at. arms to clear
the galleries and close the doors.
Neither of the Maine senators voted
The doors opened at 3.55, the bank

aside. The conference upon the legisla-

HANNA DOESN'T KNOW.
HASN'T an Idea Whom Bushnell Will Ap.
point Senator.

New York, February ia World
special from Cleveland, O., gives an &C.
count of all interview yesterday with
Mark Hanna OH the Ohio Senatorial
fight. Mr.. Hanna said: 81 have not the
least 1pklina whom Gov. Bushnell will
appoint to succeed Senator Sherman, He
has NOT given me the least intimation OF
what he intends to do. Of course I am
aware that there is considerable pressure
being bro ught to bear upon the govern,
ment or adverse to me, and don't know
what the result will be. 1 am hoping,
however, that Mr.. Bushnell will act fol
the good of the party.
"Haye you received any advices as to
how Your candidacy is regarded tn rough
out the state9"
eyes" answered Mr.. Hanna, 'sthe re
seems to lie a very kindly feeling for me
all over the state and l have receive DC
end of letters and personal assurances on
the subject. If these are to be taken as
any indication of the general wish es of
tho party, I should say that the major ity
are with me. Perhaps you noticed in the
Cleveland Leader today the list of III
state newspapers that support my candi-
dncy."
Mr.. Hanna denied that he had opp os ed
the nomination of Bushnell for governor
in 1895. He said that he went to tn con.
yeution in the interest of James r. Hoyt
and that Bushnsll's name was not then
undar onnsideration, When Informed
that the general impression in Column lis
aud Cincinnati was that he would not
be appointed by the governor, Mr.. Hanna
asked: "Whom do you think he will
appoints" ), os .,a xon,u
"Well.'' said Mr.. Hanna, in slow and
measured tones, eff Charley Kurtz is ap-
pointed there will be big howl"
Mr.. Hanna was asked what were the
real facts leading to Senator Sherman S
selection for Secretary of State. He re-
piled:
"Mr. Mckinley never told me a word
ahout; tbe matter until he had decided to
tender ito Mr.. Sherman the State port
folio, There was no deal at all, nor any
arrangement made looking to that end.
The senatorial question was only of
secondary consideration. The great thing
was to get Secretary OF state who
would fiji all the requirements of the
nlsce. Mr.. Sherman did not step aside
to make room for me at all. He was
moved In take the action he did only mi
MaSor McKinley's solicitation and be-
ca,,se he thought he could serve the ad
mtnistration to advantage. Erhere was nc
nook or crook to the matter. This is the
round unvarnished tale. the whole trntn
and nothing but the truth.
