Another Runaway.

At $40 Monday a little black
horse, pitched to a road wagon, came
tearing up East Monroe street toward

the horse reached jefferson street he
attempted to turn south but swung too
far over to the hitching rack and
struck a spring wagon belonging to
Ben w. Hall, of Youngs Creek, who is
serving on the Circuit Court jury.
The tongue of the spring wagon was
broken out and the hind axle sprung.

WASHINGTON. D. c., Jan. 1.-THE
Pacific railroad funding bill went to
Its doom in the house to-day, under an
adverse majority OF sixty-s!x. Tho
friends Of the measure who had pre-
dicted It's passage up to the last mo-
ment, we're surprised by the decisive
character of their defeat, They had
been led to hope from the votes on the
substitutes that the bill had more than
an even chance OF passing. The Bell
substitute provided that II the Union
Pacific and Central Pacific would clear
on the first mortgage and advance the
governments lien. the government
would extend the Indebtedness at 3 per
cent. It was defeated, llO 20 15S. The
Harrison substitute provided for a
commission to negotiate settlement OF
the debt. 1t was rejected by the mouse
by vote OF 55-2l4. Many Of the mem-
bers were as much opposed 20 these
substitutes as 10 the Powers bill. The
California and middle west members
voted almost solldly against them
When the vote came on the main pro
unsltlOu the whole opposition swung ln-
to line and crushed 1t by an adverse
vote of l02 10 1853.
The vote was not taken directly on
the passage Of the bill, but on the pre-
Iiminary motion to engross and read
the bill third time. Bills, the supjeet
of hard contests, are usually brought TO
a final test before the last parliamen-
tary stage is reached.
The Reilly Pacific funding bill TWO
years ago was defeated In the sane
manner on the same motion. This Is the
fourth funding bill killed in the house
In ten years. An analysis of the vote TO-
tlny shows that eighty-slx Republicans
and sixteen Democrats voted for the
bill and ninety-nine Republicans, htty-
eiuht Democrats and six Popullats and
flve Independents against II. Mr.. PoWe
ers, the chairman OF the Pacific Rail
road Committee entered a motion to re-
commit the bill to-day. after he had
recovered from the shock OF his defeat
saying that the members OF the mouse
We're all IN favor Of settlement pul
evidently opposed TO the principle oi
the measure his committee had
brought in. He thought his cOHmittea
should have an opportunity to toSmu-
late another bill in the hope that 1t
would prove acceptable. A point or Or
der was made against Mr. Powers
motion, but at the suggestion OF the
speaker, the point was not ruled upon
to-day, but win be when the house con-
Venes Tomorrow.
Mr.. Powers said Tonight that he did
not know what would be done. but eX-
pressed the opinion that another ehoTt
should be made 10 pass an acceptable
bill. The opponents Of the bill, on the
other hand, are rejoicing and say the
vote to-day settles the fate OF all
schemes to fund the debt at this sess-
ion. After The biz was disposed Of. the
army appropriation bill and several
other bills were passed -
The army bill carried S23, 3,126,344. $685.

Ing that each country should be repre-
scnted by three arbitrators Of eminence
in its judicial branches. The question
then arose a8 to how q final decision
could be reached with the court equally
divided. Lord Salisbury felt that the
distinguished character Of the men con-
stltuting the court would assure tree-
dom from national prejudice.
VIII DO No Deadlock.
Mr. olney desired to remove every
possibility of having deadlock by hav-
ing q final arbitrator, who could, in case
of a tie, cast the concluding vote.
This raised further question as TO the
nationality OF tho final arbitrator. IL
was felt that in Justice he could not be
an American or an EnRlishman, while II
was felt to be equally desirous that sucn
an harmonious agreement between the
two Englsh-spenklng nations should not
look ta a foreigner for its final determin1
alto. Finally, however. rather than
.open the possibility Of tie and the fail
ure of arbitration, King Oscar was
agred upon In case the others did not
agree In choosing a final arbitrator. BY
this means not only IS arbitration Sc
cured. but arbitration which will be Ell
fective and final.
The period Of Ave years was hxed o.
the limit uf the treaty as a means OF op-
serving the efficacy OF che aFTaHSelne
the purpose being TO make the treaty
permanent II the flve year trial prlnss
the good results contemplated
Aside from the agreement made to-
day. it Is felt to offer plan Of arbitra,
Hon. as a substitute for war which VIII
attract the attention OF European powers
generally, and may lead to a further ex-
tension OF the plan.

EnIIvUaed by MulI ImpaEslonsd Speech
ON tho Cuban Question.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-THE chief
event of to-day's senate session was an
impasslonate speech of Mr.. Mills of
Texas, in favor of resolution intro
duced by him 10 declare the recognition
OF q foreign government n congressional
prerogative, and to recognize the inde-
pendence Of Cuba and appropriate $4,000
f0r the salary Of a minister. In support
Of the first proposition the senator quoted
a long line OF precedents, and speaking
on the latter question he strongly de-
nounced the administration, charging 1t
with favoritism towards Spain.
He spoke contemptuously OF CASTELAR,
and Weyler and Of SignOr Crispi because
Of his declaration that Europe could not
look without concern upon the preten-
slons OF the United States. The Cuban
question was the mercantile spirit Of tho
nation against its honor, he declared.
There was an informal discussion BY
several senators and Mr.. Bacon (Cia-b
gave notice Of n speech tomorrow.

Accordingly, Mr.. Mcguire. Dem. CALI,
demanded the yeas and nays and half
the house seemed TO rise In response to
his demand. As the roll call began,
everyone realized that the critical mo-
ment had come.
The subdued buZz OF excited conyer-
satlon subsidized and n hush fell on the
house. The members listened QuietlY
TO the responses. Mr.. Powers and hiu
clerk kept tnllles Mr.. Cummings, (Dem.
n. " lIr. Mcguire, Dem., CalR), and
several other members also checked
the vote.
When II wns quietly Whispered about
that Mt the end OF the first ROLL call on
the motion TO engross the vote was 81
l41. the adyersaries OF the measure
were oYerjoyed.
Mr.. Mcguire started a round OF ap-
plause and abandoned his tally. The
completeness OF the defeat OF the blil's
advocates becnmes more and moro APP
parent as the second roll call proceed
ed,
When the clerks had figured up the
totals, the speaker submitted the re-
suit, yeas 102, nays l6s. There was a
great outburst OF applause when the
defeat OF the measure was officially an
nounced. The formal motion Of Mr..
Hubbard, (Rep., MOD, TO reconsider
and lay on the table was carried and
some minor business was transacted.
Then suddenly Mr.. Powers seemed to
make up his mind TO try and get fur
ther consideration OF the bill In a new
form.
He arose and moved that the bill be
re-committed TO the committee. at is
apparent" said he,spealsing very calm
ly. that the house has manifested Its
opposition to the principle OF this bill.
But" he continued. II take Il every
member present wants some action ta-
ken and make this motion In order to
see II the committee cannot formulate
measure which will meet the apprO-
val OF tho house"
Mr.. DocllerY, (Dem.. MOI. immedi-
ately made the point of order that the
motion was not In order.
A parliamentary row followed.
Speaker Reed said he would not rule
on the point until Tomorrow.
