vent FEEDER al officials from speculating in
or prosecuting claims against the Govern
ment was presented and cgreed to. The
House then went into committee of the
whole'on the naval appropriation bill.
DaiZell (R.) OF Pennsylvania wanted an
opportunity to reply to McMillin's criti-
cism of Jus tice Shiras of the Supreme
Court for his action in the income-tax
case, but Boutelle (R.) of Maine in charge
OF the naval bill, was afraid this would
lead 10 political debate, and would not
grant the request.
In explanation of the bill Boutelle re-
ferred to the armor-plate Investigation
and told how the committee had arrived
at Its conclusion regarding the plate,
Congress had provided at its last session
that no contracts should be made for
armor for the three hattle-ships then
authorized until the Secretary of the
Navy could investigate and make a report
on the cost of manufacturing armor- plate
That report had been made at this ses-
sion, and the Committee on Naval Affairs
by providing that the total cost of armor
for the three ships should not exceed $500
ton had followed the report 1t was fair
to say that the manufacturers of armor-
plate ala not agree with the Secretary s
conclusions. But the Secretary said he
mad given his best Judgment, and the

it should be paid.
Closing the del bate Cannon (R.) OF Iii
nois said that for ten years the appropria-
tion bills, in Repu blican and Democratic
Congresses, had been devoted TO pay
ments for services over these bond aided
roads without protest.
Cannon skeIcAed the reasons for paying
the judgments, adding: Here is the
ment; here is the practice. But some
body says: 1T is railroad. Throw it
into tits.'" He did not stand for corpor-
ate interests, but be had never done any
thing against them merely to win ap-
plause from an unthinking people.
The vote on Sayers' amendmen was
then taken and resulted Ayes 72, noes 81 ;
so that the Judgment in favor of the
Southern Pacific was not stricken out.
The other two Pacific railroad amend
ments were also rejected.
Objection came from many parts of the
House when an attempt was made to re-
insert by unanimous consent the para
graphs stricken out Saturday for the paw
ment of special employees of the House.
A lively time ensued while this question
was before the House, and the greatest
confusion prevailed, but Cannon finally
ended matters by moving that the COM
mlttee rise. This was agreed to, and the
bill was reported to the House. The first
amendment asking a vote was that slrik-
ing out an item of So, 900 to pay members
the amounts deducted from their salaries
for absence. 1t resulted: AYES 1I2. noes

amount deducted.

BENIN CITY CAPTURED.
Success of the British Expedition Sent
to Punish the Murderous

BRASS, NIGER COAST PRoTECToRATE, Feb.
22.-The expedition which was formed to
punish Drunami, King of Benin, for the
murder of the members of a British expe-
dition which was attempting to reach
Benin City, has been entirely successful.
The expedition has captured Benin City,
and the King is fugitive. He fled north
ward. but part of the expedition is in
pursuit OF him, and it is expected that he
will be taken prisoner
When the expedition entered the town
it was found that it well deserved its
name of the "City of Blood" Many vic
Tins of the iuiu, or fetish priests, were
found crucifed, they having been lc-I-
feed to the various gods.
The iuju- houses and the compounds
were reeking with the blood of those who
had recently been beheaded in the re-
ligious ceremonies. In the firing that
took place before the town was captured
seventeen European and twenty-three ma
tive members of the expedition were killed
or wounded.
No trace was found of Mr.. Campbell, a
Consular official who was captured by the
Beninites at the time of the massacre, and
it is supposed that he was killed by his
captors shortly after he was made a pris-

committee. without attempting to fix the
price themselves, had most wisely &C.
cepted the report of the Secretary of the
Navy as in the nature of the depart
mental estimate.
Concerning the action of the committee
In leaving out an appropriation for new
ships, Boutelle explained that that omis-
sion represented in no possible sense any
laxlty on the part of the committee in
pushing forward the building of the navy.
The committee had done so out of con-
sideration OF the condition of the finances,
and of what is believed to be the temper of
the House and the inability to obtain
armor for the three battle ships now on
the stocks.
During the reading of the bill Barrett
(R.l of Maine made point of order
against the item Tor clerical hire at the
Puget Sound (Wash.) and Port Royal

passed over temporarily.
. The committee then rose. A joint reso-

agreed to, declaring it to be the settled
policy OF the Government hereafter TO
make no appropriations whatever for
education in any sectarian school.
Another amendment was offered by
Gallinger declaring that all appropria.
tions for contract schools shall absolutely
cease and terminate at the end OF the
fiscal year 1898, but it was ruled out on
point of order that 1t was general leglsIa-
ton by vote of % to 22.
GalIinger attacked an amendment of
the committee appropriating $4,000 for the
purchase of 800 acres, at not over $25 an
acre, for an industrial farm at Flandrau,
S. ID. He did not think farming lands
out there were worth any such price.
Pettigrew defended the amendment, but
action on it was postponed. similar
item for the Indian sch ooI at Pierre, S. D.,
was also postponed.
In the further course of the debate Gal
linger criticized some of the minor items
In the bill.
Pettigrew retorted that the place to
begin economy was not in matters of small
appropriations; it could better be COM
menced in matters of greater i'm
portance; it should be practiced in con-
nection with the millions that were ap-
propriated for the construction of ships
that would not float; in the building of
battle-ships that were rustlng away, and
in striking out the approximation of ten
millions of dollars for Notifications that in
view OF the treaty of arbitration would not
be needed.
Gallinger said he shared the feeling that
we ought not to go too deeply into naval
appropriations in view of the depleted
condition Of the treasury. but he did not
believe he was violating any OF the secrets
of the session when he said there was very
little probability of the treaty arbitration
being ratified, at this session of Congre IS
at least.
Gallinger said he understood very we'll
that the Senator from South Dakota took
very little interest in the naval BILL for
the reason, situated as he was, that he
coulo, in case of attack, take to the Black
Hills for safety.
The bill was laid aside.
A message from the President vetoing
the private pension bill for Maria Sumer-
lat, widow of a private soldier, was laid
before the House and was attacked by
several Senators. Among Others Morgan
sneered at the idea of the small aggregate
amount of all the pension bills passed by
this Congress as compared with the
amount paid to the s'bond syndicate"
Gallinger referred to Cleveland's S vetoes
of pension bills as "trivial and foolish"
and Hoar asserted that such private pen
sion bills had never been questioned until
the modern method of finding fault with
them came in vogue.
The veto was referred to the Committee
on Pensions.
A resolution was offered by Allison and
was agreed to for daily sessions at IL
A NJ. from and after Wednesday next.
The Senate at P. NJ. adjourned until to-
morrow.

PARIS, FRANCE. Feb. 22.-In the Cham
ber OF Deputies to-day the Government
was sharply questioned by the Socialist
leaders, NJ. Jaurez and NJ. Milleraud and
others, in regard to the situation in
Crete, and in the ensuing discussion
on various motions the Governments
general policy in the East was severely
criticized.
In references to Crete, NJ. Jaures and NJ.
Milleraud, who were supported IN their
views by q number of other Deputies, held
that the manifestations in favor of the
severance of the island from Turkish rule
which had been made by the French
students was in full accordance with the
generous and humanitarian sym pathies of
France, and declared that if Crete suould
be left to the Sultan a renewal of the mas
sacres in the island would result, and civ
llized countries would alone be responsible
for the outpouring of blood.
Replying to the interpelations, NJ.
Hanotaux, Minister of Foreign Affairs,
read the obligations of France to cooper
ate with the other nations of Europe.
Crete, he declared. had been placed in the
hands of the powers, who would not re-
store the authority of the Sultan in the
Island, but would not infringe on the
authority of Turkey. The will of Europe
would be fOrcibly impressed upon Greece
and also upon Turkey. Greeces inter
vention in Crete was capable of melting a
general war. The powers would know
how to check such am bition,
In conclusion NJ. Hanotaux said it
would be necessary to effect reforms in
the entire east without the cooperation
of the Sultan.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. 22.-De-
spite the rainstorm, the galleries of the
Senate were crowded when the session to-
day opened, but the attendance OF Senators
was unusually small. On the Democratic
side of the chamber there were eight Sena-
tors In their seats while the journal of Sat-
urday was being read and on the RepubIl-
can side twelve.
The reading was closed at 1920, and
then the absence of a quorum was sug-
gested. The roll was called and was
responded to by fifty Senators, and then,
in pursuance of the order made few days
since, Daniel (D.) of Virginia took a
position by the side of the Vice President
and proceeded to read Washington's fare
well address, in commemoration OF Wash
ington's birthday.
The reading occupied one hour, and at
its conclusion consideration of the Indian
bill was resumed. The pending question
was the committee amendment making
temporary provision for contract schools
for Indian children, the vote having been
ordered for clock. The am mendment was
agreed to by vote of 49 to 8. The mega
tive votes were given by Senators Brown,
