THEY WE'RE GREEN HANDS.

New York, May 13.-The local board of unfed States steam inspectors examined today into the fatal fire to the Mallory line steamship Leona last Saturday, and developed the fact that the crew was new one, almost to man. that they had not all been given their stations in case Of fire and had not been drilled for fire duty. This was shown upon the evidence of Capt J. D. Wilber, of the Leona, who also said that the fire. few minutes after its discovery, emitted such blind ing smoke that it was impossible to get near the steerage, where thirteen people were sutfocated and burned to death. He believed that igniting of ma. ches was the cause of the fire. First Officer Wal lace testified that he did not give the alarm at the discovery of the fire, but ran back on the deck to notify the cap- tain; that he then. returned to the steer age and endeavored to arouse the pas sengers, but it was impossible 10 save the emignants, who were hemmed in by the lire, the matches having been stored on the deck alongside the steerage. All the Deona's passengers had been sent on 10 Galveston on Tuesday, and the investi- gation was confined to the examina ton Of officers and members of the crew of the steamer

IN TIIE HOUSE.

The Indian appropriation bill was dis posed of by the house today with the ex- eeption of the provision for opening the Utah GilsoI1ite lands, which was pos poned until Monday. The conference re- port, which establishes an Indian ware house at Omaha, ratifies the lease of the Seneca oil lands and adds one judge to the Indian territory cour.s, was adopted by a vote of 54 to A.
 Nearly two hours were consumed in parlia mentary squabble on the point raised by MT. Wheeler, of Alabama, that the rule for semi-weely sessions was in violation of !he constitution.
 MT. Simpson, populizt, of Kansas, en- 'deavored to renew his attack upon the speaker for failure to appoint the com mittees and censured the republicans for moi mastering a quorum. He de- clared that there were more democrats than republicans present when the speak CT sustained the point that he was ou. of order.
 'tI have been in doubt whether I had any rights in this house lately" MT. Simpson shouted. and he was compelled to take his sea. under the rule. A Mir. Payne, repu blican, of New York, called Mir. Simpson to order, and to him the Ka nsas member said
 ffThe speaker recognizes that you will do his bidding, and you will get good place4on a committee all right. l know there is a good deal of anxiety on shat point among the republicans"
 This taunt moved MT. Dingley and MT. ". A. Stone, republican, of Pennsylva- mia. to call MT. Simpson to order s' The question whether MT Simpson should be permitted 10 proceed in order was put to the house Many republicans voted mo- while others refrained from voting. Mr' Simpson was given the floor by a vose of 80 to 57. When he again proceeded. however, the speaker declared his remarks to be ou:l of order and called upon him to desist
 4 By a vote of 80 to 57 he was given the floor. Several democrats protested against MT. Simpson being taken from the floor In explana ion, MT. Reed said:
 The chair submits TO the house that criticism of what the chair did at some past time are not in order, no, because the chair Is above criticism or above at tack. but because the speaker is the speaker of the house and such attacks are not conducive to order. The speaker cannot reply to them except in frag- meDtary manner, and it is not desira- ble that reply be made If any obiec- tfon is to be made to the speakers con- duci il can be made at the time and direct"
 There was some filibustering, after which the house decided fhat Mr Simp- son could not speak. whereupon he ap- pealed to the chair to be informed where am I at?"
 a"The chair has never been able to find any one who knew that" was the re- ply.

TALENTED AMATEURS.
They Gave an Excellent Performance of 'FDown By the Sea- for the Uniform
 Rank Confederate Veterans.

Seals spacious hall was fairly well fill ed last night to witness the pres5 nta ton of beautiful love story, Down By the Sea,3 by the Woodlawn Dramatic club. Every part was in capable hands and we'll interpreted.
 Miss Clemmie Shsldon, the heroine, was far superior to many so-called profess sionals, and her wins ome grace and rare beauty made her the center of attrac- ton.
 Miss Idene Key as Kitty Lands, was captivating in the role. She displayed excellent talent and her lines were well rendered.
 Mrs. Jollee was an ideal old fishermans wife and her portrayal was realistic to the extreme.
 All of the male parts were well placed, especially so with Messrs John g. Ken nedy and Charles w. Grace. They dis played great talent and remarkable stage presence AS a lover MT. Kennedy bor- dered very much on the real.
 MT. Grace kept the audience in a con- tinued laugh while he was on the stage. ! Miss Alice Fallon, the favorite song stress, added fresh laurels to her long list of successes by her rendition of the Sunshine Song" and "I,)ve's Serenade."
 The quartette selectid1, "Tenting on the Old Camp Ground" by members of the company, was well rendered.
 The music, which was contributed by Miss Nora Sullivan at the piano. and Messers. w. T. Lyon and J. M. Butter field, mandolin and guitar, was very sweet. An three are musicians of rare talent and they sustained their former regulations with ease.
 Quite a neat sum was realized, which will be given 10 the Uniform Rank of the United Confederate Veterans.

STILL A. DEADLOCK.

Tallahassee Fla. May 13.-The twenty fourth ballot for United States sena tor was faken today During the pas, week Judge George P. Raney's vote has been gradually shrinking, and his name was withdrawn from the list before the bal loting began. The result was:
 Chipley, AT; Stockton. 41: Hooker, 9; Burford, l. Blank, l. Necessary to a choice, 50. Chipley thus feil only three votes short of the number necessary to elect, and his supporters are now more confident than al any time since the con- test began that he will within a day or two pick up enough of the scatteri g mebmers to win. Raney's former sup port was divided today between Chipley, Stockton and Hooker. A resolution wus adopted declaring it to be the sense of the joint assembly tha. at the general election next preceding the next election of United States esnator the voters of he state should vote for senator, and that the members of the legisla ure should be morally bound by the decision of the people

SENATOR EARLE's CONDITION

Charleston. S. C., May 13-A special from Greenville to the News and Courier says:
 The condition of Senator Earle today was about the same as 1t was yesterday Perhaps slightly more favorable At this stage of the disease the symptoms are al favorable as can be expected and reason backs the hope that he will recover be- fore the affection becomes chronic though this is by no means certain. The trouble may be overcome in the acute stage which lasts about three weeks When the acute stage Is passed there will bs one of three results, permanent cure, chronic Bright's disease or death. So it will be seen that while the symptoms are more favorable the senator is by no means out of danger

 London, May '1S.-A representative of the Associated Press today had an inter- view with Rev. MT. Sjebolma, of the American Methodist mission in the Up- per Congo, who has just returned to Lon- don He said:
 When 1 left in February matters in the Upper Congo were as bad as ever The commission which the king of the Belgians appointed to inquire into the atrocities committed, the victims being natives, has had almost no result The officials are indisposed to act on mission ary evidence and only few eases of bar parity were punished. The iniqutous rubber traffic continues. When the ma tlves are unable to obtain rubber the state troops burn the villages, murder the natives and cut off their hands, which are afterwards smoked and sent to the state officials. Parts of the Equatorvllle district are in state of open warfare"
 It is understood the statements of the Rev MT. Sjobolma will be made the sub Ject of question in the house of com mons.
