BRIT0NS In A NAVAL BATTLE.
British sailors Captured by the Forces
of MOroCCO's sultan.

Tangier. Feb. 1.-The British steamer
Tourmalin, 1t is officially announced
while attempting to land arms and
stores on the Sus coast OF Morocco. was
intercepted by the sherfian steamer
Hassani, whereupon she opened fire.
The Hassani reciprocated and captured
one of the ships boats. with four In
glishmen. The Moorish troops then de-
molished the villages favorable to for
eigners. killing numbers OF the inhab-
itants.
The difficulty appears to have arisen
from the operations OF a British min
ing company, the Globe Venture, a
syndicate acting under a treaty where
by the Sus chiefs granted a trading and
mining monopoly over 10000 square
miles OF the Sus district.
A dispatch from Mogaior. Morocco,
says that an expedition having occu-
pied Erkzes presumably on the Sus
COAST with the assistance Of rebel
tribesmen, the sultan's troops attacked
and defeated IL after severe fighting,
capturing four Englishmen. Still an
other dispatch says the government of
Morocco has arrested five members OF
the Globe Venture syndicate on 4
charge of unlawful trading.

THETELLER RESOLUTION
Overwhelmingly Defeated bya Vote
Of the House.
SPEAKER REED CAST HIS VOTE

In Opposition to the Measure Declar-
ing For Bond Payments In silver,
Having His Name Called In Order to
Place Himself on Record.
Washington. Feb. 1.-The house Of
representatives yesterday buried the
Teller resolution declaring the bonds Of
the United States payable in silver un-
der an adverse majority Of so votes
The Republicans were solidly arrayed
In opposition. with two exceptions, Mr..
Linney. of North Carolina. who voted
with the Democrats and Populists, and
Mr.. White. Of North Carolina, the only
colored member of the house, who an
swered present" when his name was
called. The desertions from the DEM
ocratic side were McAleer of Pennsyl-
vania and Elliott Of South Carolina.
Both voted with the Republicans
against the proposition. Speaker Reed.
although 1t is not customary for him to
vote. had his name called. and amid
the cheers of his followers went on
record In opposition to the resolution.
The vote was reached after five hours
Of debate under a special order adopted
at the opening of the session. The linn
tied time for debate and the pressure OF
members for an opportunity to be
heard was so great that the leaders on
both sides were compelled to farm out
the time by minutes. This detracted
much from the continuity Of the dis
cussi0n. but II also In a measure inten-
sified the interest. The galleries were
crowded all day long. and the combat
ants on the floor were cheered by their
respective sympathizers. Many OF the
senators from the other end OF the
Capitol were present to listen to the
arguments.
The majority, under the leadership
Of Mr.. Dingley. who made q carefully
prepared speech sounding the keynote
Of the opposition, assumed the position
that the last clause Of the resolution
was in reality disguised declaration
for the free coinage OF silver. while
the assaulting Democrats. under the d.
rection of Mr.. Bailey, maintained that
the defeat of the resolution was an
other step in the direction Of the estab-
lishment of the gold standard, to which
they alleged both the present and Sec
retary Gage had irrevocably commit
ted the Republican party.
The debate was at times fast and
heated. but there were no sensational
Incidents beyond the kissing OF Mr..
Rhea, Of Kentucky, when he said that
as the author Of the "crime Of 49,
the hottest place In hades would be re-
served for the present secretary OF
state. The vote on the resolution was
Yeas. 1872; nays. 1872.
Yesterdays session Of the senate last
ed six hours. Two Of the general ap-
prOprlation bills-that for the army, car.
rying S23.143.492. and that for the leg
islative, judicial and executive depart
ments. carrying $2l .65S, ,520--were passed
the latter. consisting Of 121 pages. &C.
cupying the attention Of the senate
during the greater part Of the session
After a brief executive session the SEN
ate adjourned.

PHILADELPHIA'S FAILED BANK.

Comptroller Dawes Appoints George
II. Earle. Jr.. as Receiver.
Philadelphia, Jan. 3l.-Comptroller
Dawes arrived from Washington last
Thursday afternoon and had conference
with George II. Earle, Jr., and Richard
Y. Cook. managers of the "Singerly
plan" Of liquidation Of the affairs OF
the failed Chestnut Street National
bank. After the conference Mr.. Dawes
gave out a statement in which he de-
clared that he could not modify the
conditions he had recently imposed
and as a result announced that. "as in
dicating his confidence in the intentions
OF the managers" he would appoint
Mr.. Earle as the receiver Of the bank
As a result the official notification OF
Mr.. Earle's appointment came from
Washington on Saturday, and his com
mission arrived today.
The appointment OF Mr.. Earle Is
generally approved by the press OF this
city, but a number of depositors in the
bank. in recent interviews, express
ed themselves as displeased with the
appointment. They approve the comp
troller's new conditions Of the Singerly
plan Of liquidation. as they claim that
under these conditions creditors are
better protested in their legal rights
than they were under the plan as orig
inally presented, but they hold that as
Mr.. Earle Is assignee for several of Mr.
Singerly's other enterprises they would
have preferred another selection. II is
confidently believed by those inter
viewed that a plan OF voluntary liqui-
dation will yet be adopted. and that
the receivership will be OF short dura-

Historical Articles Have Disappeared

Harrisburg. Feb. l.--State Librarian
William II. Egie has submitted his re-
port for 1897. in which he states there
are l3i. .535 volumes in the state library,
including duplicates OF state documents.
DIR. Egle suggests that the next legis-
lature introduce the system of tray
cling libraries" into the state library
work. He states that IL libraries, some
with branches. have been established
under the library act OF June ~, 1885,
The report commends T. A. b. Widener
OF Philadelphia. for his generosity in
presenting his magnificent residence In
that city to be used as a branch of the
public library.
DR.. Egle claims that portraits OF
George Washington. Thomas Wharton
and benjamin Franklin, owned by the
state, have disappeared. 1t is known
to the officials OF the Historical So
ciety OF Pennsylvania. says Dr. Egle,
that prominent citizen Of Philadelphia
has the portrait OF Franklin, which he
bequeathed to the commonwealth
Copies OF these portraits were some
years ago placed in the frames and the
originals taken by persons who had no
right to them. DR.. Egle thinks an ef-
fort should also be made to recover the
first American flag unfurled In British
water during the revolutionary war.

M'KINLEY ON FINANCE.
Presidents Address to the National
Association Of Manufacturers.

Association Of Manufacturers.
New York. Feb. president Nc
Kinley was the principal speaker at the
banquet Of the National Association of
Manufacturers last Thursday night. In
the course Of his address he said:
THE money of the United States Is
and must forever be unquestioned and
unassailable. If doubts remain. they
must be removed. II weak places are
discovered. they must be strengthened.
Nothing should ever tempt us-nothing
will ever tempt us-to scale down the
sacred debt of the nation through a
legal technicality.
1T will not suffice for citizens now
adays to say simply that they are in
favor of sound money. That Is not
enough. The peoples purpose must be
given the vitality of public law. Bet
ter an honest effort, with failure, than
the avoiding of so plain and command
ing a duty.
"The financial plank of the st. Louis
platform is still as commanding upon
Republicans and those who served with
them In the last campaign as on the
day 1t was adopted and promulgated.
Happily the tariff part Of the platform
has already been engrafted into public
statute. But that other plank. not al
ready builded into our constitution, is
of binding force upon all of us
The country is now emerging from
trying conditions. 1t Is only just be-
ginning to recover from the depres-
sion in certain lires OF business long
continued oItnuafhnr raI IaIa
Progress. therefore, will naturally be
slow. but let us not be impatient.
Rather let us exercise a just patience.
which in time will surely bring its own
high reward"

that the condition of affairs in large
cities IL alarming. In great many in
