RELIEF EXPEDITION.
Senator Mcbride Recommends That the Gov
 ernment Send Provisions to Dawson.

Washington, Dec. 14.-Senator Mcbride, of Oregon, has received letter from E. P Leeds, who arrived at Portland on the Sth inst, direct from Dawson, in which he says:
 ''I know that the supply of provisions in Dawson cannot last longer than the mid dle of March. No supplies can reach the interior by ordinary conveyance until next June, and I believe it will require the re- sources of the United States government to equip an expedition strong enough to overcome the obstacles of a mid-wiSter journey. This expedition should De au- thorized at once, as it will take from forty to fifty days to reach Dawson from Ska quay and Dyea. I am certain there will be intense suffering unless relief is at once provided for"

HELD WITHOUT BAIL.
Charles Zanoi Thought to Have Murdered
 Many People For Insurance.

New York, Dec. H.-Charles Zanoli, the barber, who has been held on the suspi- cion of causing the death of the many peo- pie upon whose deaths he collected insur- ance, was arranged in the police court to- day on the charge of homicide in causing the death of Jennie Sumner, his fourth and last wife, by the use of poison or some other means.
 The charge was based upon the result of the preliminary examination of the body of Jennie Sumner, which was exhumed yes- terday. The death certificate of that wo- man gave typhoid fever as the cause. The cursory investigation made by the experts yesterday proved that typhoid fever was not direct cause of death. Zanoli was held without bail on the charge of homi- eide. He will be examined on Saturday next.

IN THE HOUSE.


 Washington, Dec. H-The house today, after session of about two hours, ad- journed out of sympathy for the president, whose mother was buried at Canton this afternoon The time of the session was devoted to the consideration of the execu- tive, legislative and judicial appropriation bill. It was decided to postpone the con sideration- of the item providing for the maintenance of the civil service commits sion until after the features of the bill had been concluded. It was apparent from the remarks made today that the entire subject would be eXhaustively debated.
 On motion of MT. Lawrence (rep.) of Massachusetts, Saturday, Jan. 8, was set aside for paying tribute to the memory of the late representative Wright, his pre- decessor.
 The Bills Considered.
 Then, without further preliminary busi- ness, the house went into committee of the whole and proceeded to the consideration of the executive, legislative and judicial appropriation bill.
 ~ MT. Bingham (rep.) of Pennsylvania, in charge of the measure, explained its pro- visions in detail.
 MT. Bingham said he would offer an amendment to reduce the clerical force of the pension office by ninety-six clerks, in volving a reduction of s115,000 in salaries. MT. Barrett (rep.) of Massachusetts took the floor and made some general remarks in support of the civil service law, in the course of which he referred to the slender majority in favor of the civil service law when it passed the house in 1883 at which time the vote stood 113--47.
 MT. Grosvenor said all he asked was that the house should honestly consider the question and give its careful attention. "The statesmanship that does not do its thinking" said he, "the statesmanship that only respects what others say, is the statesmanship the parrot displays in the course of his morning ablutions." Gaugh- ter.)
 Growth of Expenditures.
 Mr Dockery (dem.) of Missouri discussed the amazing growth of the expenditures of the government during the recent years The ordinary expenditures, exclusive of the public, debt, in the last eight years exceeded those of the preceding eight years by $1 00O ,0000 0O0 in round numbers In view of this factor there were only two ways, he said, to bring the receipts and expenses together. Either taxation must be increased or the expense must be cur tailed. If the expenses were to be reduced congress alone could not accomplish much without the aid of the executive branch of the government. Despite the presidents appeal in his message for economy the ex- ecutive branches of the government had submitted to congress estimates for ap- propriations of $27 .000,0 ,000 in excess of the appropriations for the current year.
 At 145 the house adjourned until tomor- row. out of sympathy for President Mo- Kinley's affliction in the loss of his mother

 Washington, Dec. 14.-Hon. Cecil Brown of Talladega, who will act as counsel to Representative Plowman in the contested election case of Aldrich vs. Plowman, is in town, and District Attorney Vaughan has left his office in charge of an assistant and is expected here today to represent his friend, Aldrich, before the election commit tee next Friday Both Aldrich and Flow man express confidence that the committee and the house will decide in their favor, but the majority of opinions among mem bers of both parties seem to be that Flow man will be allowed to retain his seat. MT. Aldrich denies that he has been removed as dispenser of patronage for the Fourth dis trict, but would not say that Col. Young blood had not advised his removal.
 Grove ys. Underwood
 The case of Grove vs. Underwood, of the Ninth district, which was set for hearing on the 18th, has been postponed until after the holidays. Mir Grove arrived last night prepared to appear before the committee on Wednesday, but was told that the case had been indefinitely postponed. In view of Mir. Underwood's majority of nearly 5000, it is not thought that he will be un- seated.
 H. c. Reynolds of Montevallo, president 5 of the Girls Industrial school, Is here to push his grant for 5000 acres of public lands for the benefit of his school. The bill, which failed at the last congress, was introduced into the senate yesterday by Senator Morgan, and into the house by MT. Plowman today.
 Pettus Judiciary
 Senator Pettus was today appointed on the committee of the judiciary in the sen ate. This is very high compliment to the Alabama senator, as there will be found on this committee the brainlest members of this branch of congress. In order to perform the duties connected with this com nittee, he has been relieved from the com- mittee on postoffices and postroads.
