In the House.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 6.-Grosvenor of
Ohio offered resolutions in the house
today, calling upon the heads of the de-
partments to explain why they had not
responded to the resolution introduced
in May last, asking for certain infor-
nation regarding the operation of the
civil service law. Mr.. Grosvenor's res
olution was adopted without division.
The house then went into committee
OF the whole for further discussion to
amend the Loud bill regulating the
tariff.

ReY. Morrison ExnpIled.

Many Christian people who listened
with pleasure to Rev. H. G. Morrison,
of Lexington, KY, in this city last
Summer, and the previous year, will be
surprised and panied to learn that he
has been expelled from the Methodist
ministry for preaching holiness. Rev.
Morrison is one of the strongest
preachers and sweetest spirited me in
the church: he has been faithful to his
church, and is doing a wonderful work
for his Lord. He is going ahead
preaching and having marvellous sue
cess wherever he goes, and has more
calls for his services than he can fill.
He commences a meeting at Denton
January II, and will hold several
meetings in Texas this year.
1t was Mr.. Morrison who made the
addr ess ON John Wesley at the laying
of the corner stone of the new Trinity
Methodist church in this city, an ad-
dress that proved one OF the best ever
delivered in this city. There are many
Ell Paso people who will not think any
the less of Mr.. Morrison because of the
severe treatment accorded him.

In the Senate.

WASHINGTON, D. G. Jan. 6.-There
were not dozen senators in the senate
chamber today, and when the chaplain
offered the opening prayer, the gale
ries were almost deserted. The report
of the secretary of the navy relative to
the cost of construction of armor plate
was presented and referred.
An adverse report from the commit
tee on foreign relations on the claim of
John S. Waller, United States consul
at Madagascar, for damages by reason
of his arrest and imprisonment, was
presented and indefinitely postponed.
The resolutian offered by Senator
Call, OF Florida, in relation to the con
demnation of Julio Sanguilyl, an Amer
lean citizen, by the Spanish authorities
in Cuba to perpetual Imprisonment in
chains was taken up and Mr.. Call ad-
dressed the senate. He first spoke
of Gown, United States citizen in
Cuba, who, the newspapers reported,
was arrested, tied to tree and cut in
pieces with machetes by a squad of
cavalry as it rode past Reverting to
the case of Sanguilly, Mr.. Call read
from a statement to the effect that
Sauguillv, also an American citizen,
had been guilty of no offense whatever:
nothing had been or could be proved
against him.
The senate at l 80 p. m. went into
executive session.
After short executive session, leg
| iS1a b11S ha
| bill to amend the act repeating the
timber culture laws was taken up and
passed.

Needed, an Electric Street Railway.

Zach White, Al Lamour and other
enterprisipg members of the street
railway corporation are strongly in
favor of an electric system for Ell Paso.
La fact Mr.. White has made trip to
Chicago with the special idea of look
ing into the system of electric street
railway operation, and returned pretty
well loaded with how the thing should
be done. The promoters of the idea
desire to have belt line around the
city and a line to Fort Bliss, and there
are reasonable hopes of their plans be-
ing carried out.
Attention has been called to the
Denver system where the tracks are
narrow guaged. but the cars are of the
standard width. This results in less of
the street being taken up, aud gives
the cars a neat, trim, yatch like
appearance as they sail through the
streets: a sight much more pleasing to
the eye than the squatty, dry goods
box appearance of the cars set on broad
guage trucks. An objection has been
offered that the Denver cars must nee
essarily be unsteady, but experience
does not bear this belief out.
The idea of aelectric street railway
conveniences for Ell Paso will be push

retired to the library for a private
talk, where they remained closely en-
gagged till luncheon.
The interview between the senior
senator of Iowa, who has twice decided
to remain in the senate when an import
ant cabinet position had been offered
him and the president-elect who is
avowedly seeking the strongest men
for his official family, is regarded as
the most important political event
which has occurred at McKinley's
home since the election. 1t is claimed
the major would very much like to
have Allison in the cabinet but it is
not known that an actual tender of a
portfolio has been made.

Confessed a Horrible Crime

A special to the st. Louis Republic
from Birmin CHAM, Alabama, says:
Four of the five train wreckers in jail
here today confessed to the formation
of fiendish plot to wreck and rob the
Southern railways fast express from
Washington, d. c., at McComb's
trestle, twelve miles east of this city,
on the night of December 10, and the
confession leads to the belief sthat the
same gang removed the rail which
wrecked the Birmingham Mineral
train at Cahaba river bridge, causing
the death of twenty-six people and
injuring eleven others on December %,
although those under arrest are yet
silent to this wreck

Bryan Warmly Received.


LINCOLN, NEB., Jan. 6.-The Lans-
ing theatre, was completely filled to-
day when the state bimetallic copfer-
ence was called to order. When Bry-
an arose to address the assembly, the
applause was deafening.
Bryan said the warm reception &C
corded him, prompted him to para
phase an old saying, ''Tis better to
have run and lost than never to have
run at all" D."
He reviewed the campaign from the
Chicago convention till the close of
the polls, and said it showed a great
gain to the silver party since '94, and
believed with some effort there could
be no question of the victory in 1900
Bryan declared that corporations
should not be permitted to contr ibute
funds for election purposes. Such con-
tributions were a direct violation of
corporate charters. He said
that while the doctrine of bi-
metallism had been defeated at the
polls, it had made many republicans
hope bimetallism would be secured
before the next presidential election.
Some friends feared the republicans
would manage to steal bimetal
lie thunder, but if they had
desire to steal it, he
was ready to place his thunder
upon the front porch where it would be
within easy reach Of thieves. Mr.
Bryan spoke for nearly an hour, and al
the close the audience rose and gave
him three hearty cheers.

Tariff on Wool,

WASHINGTON, January 6.-The tar
if hearings before the Ways and Means
committee was continued today, 'raw
wool" being the item under considera-
tion. John G. Clark, of the state of
Washington, a member of the National
Wool Growers Association, opened the
hearing. The necessity for protection,
be said, was now apparent to everyone,
the experiment OF free wool having
brought bankruptcy to many engaged
in the wool growing business. He
would not ask for an extreme rate of
duty, but simply one which would per-
petuate the business and at the same
time give the growers a chance to live.
VIM. Lawrence, of Ohio, president of
the National Woolgrowers' association,
saids he hoped the next congress would
give the wool growers a protection
equal to that given most of the favored
Industries. This country had the re-
quisite climate, soil and lands to
