URGENCY DEFICIENCY BILL PASSED
Washington, Dec. 0.-The urgent de-
ticiency bill to provide for the support
of the military and naval establish
ments was passed by the house yester-
day, practically without opposition.
The only point upon which an issue
was raised was as to whether the bill,
providing, as it did, for the pay of the
volunteers until July |, 1899, might not
be construed as modification of the
law under which the volunteers were
mustered into service. Mr.. McRae, of
Arkansas offered an amendment pro-
viding that it should not be so con-
strued, and upon it there was "A gem
eral discussion as to the advisability of
mastering the volunteers out before
the regular army was Increased. Mr..
Cannon finally accepted the McRae
amendment, and that removed the
only shadow OF opposition To the bill.
A number of amendments were
adopted upon the recommendation of
the appropriations committee, which
received some supplemental estimates
after the bill was prepared The
900 for an emergency fund for the war
department and S57S, 900 for the ord
nance department, increasing the
amount carried by the bill to $50, S95,
s02.
The house adjourned over until Mon.
day TO give the committees an oppor-
tunity TO work without interruption.

specting the intentions of Col. William
j. Bryan were removed by the receipt
by the war department of a telegram
received from him stating that he had
mailed his resignation of his commits
sion as colonel of volunteers and
that it was approved by the division
and corps commanders. The war de-
partment, of course, cannot act upon
the resignation until it comes formally
to hand, but there can be no doubt of
its acceptance.

IeaCued Against Them.


New York. Ian 22.-MTs. Charlotte Smith
who sees immortality in every shining spoke
/ of a bicycle, has joined the forces OF her
! vigorous personality and her resistless
/ energy with the power Of the influence and
/ the owle dge Of Mr.. Chuck Connors, mayor

present TO DO its devastating work unre-

Republican Plans with Regard to
the Teller Resolution.

Thursday, after the Senate adjourned
a number of prominent Republica Ms gather
ed in Senator Allison's room, a nd discus sed
the Teller resolution, which Mr. Vest had
SO promptly called up, and which mad set
aside the census bill as the unfinished bust
ness of the Senate.
The political effect of this neasur. was
considered, and it was finally decided that
II would be poor politics on the part of
the Republicans 10 antagOnize the resolu-
ton, or To even enga &c in a protracted
discussion of its merits or dement's. 1t
was decided that two or three Senators
versed on the financial subject such as
Allison and Aldrich and possibly one
other, should make a brief speech setting
forth the Republican position regarding
the financial question principally with
reference TO the pending resolution, and
after these had been delivere ed no objection
would he made to taking the vote.
The Democrats, however Will not be
permitted to vote first on the resolution
IL self. II wa decided 10y the Republicans
that they should offer an amendment. This
amendment will consist of a subs titute.
which viii in effect be the same as the
concluding paragraph of the act repeating
the purchasi clause Of the Sherman
act, over which there was such a fight
in the Fifty-third congress This pal
raph declares 10 to be the policy of the
United sta tes to maintain the parity be-
tween gold and silver. II is not believed
that the silver Republicans will support
this amendment, but 1t will give the Ad-
on record for themselves.
In the Senate yesterday afternoon. a fter
a very brief discussion. an agreement
was reached that vote should be taken
on the resolution aud any amendment that
should be offered next Thursday before
Adjournment. There was no trouble in
reaching tins agreement, because the Re
publicans, as has been stated. saw the
futillty vf antagouizing the very ap-
parent majority in fayer Of passing the
resolution.
Mir. Stewart OF Nevada. gave notice that
he would address the Senate on the resolu-
tion today immediately after the morning
business. Mr.. Turpie, of Indiana. also "a ve
notice that on Monday he should deliver
few remarks on the same subject 1t is
probable that Senators Vest and Jones
wIn also speak on the resolution What
Republicans other than Alessrs. Allison
ana Aldr icl may take the floor has not vet
developed.
The fight, therefore. on the money ques-
'loh growing out OF the Teller resolution
promises 70 he short sharp ana decisive.
There IS absolutely no doubt but that the
resolution "ill pass 10y practically the
same vote by which it was made the m
finished business in the Senate.

There was excitement and hiliarity in
Canterbury Court, in the rear of the
District building, this morning. Con-
stable Benjamin f. Edwards. armed
with a writ purporting to be signed by
Justice of the Peace Church, attempt
ed to seize a horse attached to an ash
cart in charge of Hiram Walker, col
ored, the owner of the animal. Walker
refused TO allow the constable to take
the horse, and then ensued a lively
scene. The constable never touched
the horse at any time, but employed a
deputy, who seized the reins.
Walker hung on tenaciOusly. Ed
wards rushed into the detective office
and asked that an officer go into the
alley, where a man was resisting a
policeman when Detective Proctor
learned the nature Of the case he de-
clined to go. Clerks from the District
building rushed into the alley to see the
fun. The crowd jeered the constable
and urged the ashman to stand by his
rights.
The writ was again demanded and
read when Policeman Wheeler appear
ed. There was no stamped seal on the
document and the policeman refused to
interfere. The constable employed an
other deputy and then there was more
tugging at the poor horses head. FL
nally Walker and the deputies We're
arrested for disOrderlya conduct and
taken into the police court.
Constable Edwards then started to
drive away with the team, but Perry
Carson appeared. He lowered high
above the constable. SeiZinE hold of
the bride he cried out. You can't
take this horse. l am going To keep
it here. / will hold it even if / get ar
rested"
Meanwhile Calvin Chase represent
ing the ashman. secured a summons
for the COnStab BILE. Detective Proctor
hurried into the alley and served the
summons for him to appear at once in
the police court. Then the trial took
place but Judge KimbaIl released all
the parties. Walker hurried from the
courtroom. jumped on his cart. and
disappeared from the alley on trOt. a

the Minister'S >Instructions.
Notwithstanding the instructions from
the Chinese minister that January %
instead Of January Il be celebrated as
new years day. the majority Of the Ce-
lestiaIs in Washington observed the day
vest erday.
The great yellow pennant, with its
glaring dragon, floated over many OF the
large stores in Chinatown, and the door
Of every laundry had a little red placard
or good luck card posted upon it.
This means that every Cinnamon visiting
another and seeing this should immedi-
ately extend 10 bis fellows greetings and
the hope that prosperity Will visit their
esta abliShments during the coming year.
Almost every restaurant and teahouse
in the Chinese quarter has been trans
formed into a josshUuse, with an altar
laden with heavy silver Caudelahra, plumes
OF peacock feathers, bronze Jars filled
with the ashes Of burning sandal wood,
conserved fruits from the Yang-tSe- -KianC
and dishes OF rare delight to the Mon
gollan epicure.
The only source of diSa ppOintment 10
local Chinese was the restriction placed by
the police on the shooting Of firecraCkers
In New York and san Francisco this is
one Of the chef sources Of enjoyment IN
such an occasion, and for this reason
the celebration was an exec edingIy tame
one to many who have lived in those
plaC Ces.
II is said that some OF the Cinnamon
will celebrate the new years arrival to-

New York. Jan. 22.-The second days
session If the Primary Election League
was characterized by the perfection Of
a permanent national organization, TO
be known as the Primary National
Election League. and by the reading
of papers and the delivering Of ad
dresses rather more to the point of
practical reforms than was Telished by
the theorists who are leading factors
in the leagues discussions.
The committee on regular organiza-
tion reported in favor of national or
gauiZation. An executive committee of
fifteen was authorized To prepare by
laws organize auxiliary branches ia
Tire different States, arouse public SEN
timent and arrange for annual meet
ings.
The constitution declares that the
league does not assume to direct what
form of statute law should be enacted
in any State. and does not hold itself
responsible for opinions or suggestions
made in debates or contained in any
papers read before ii.
The report was adopted. and The dis
cussiop opened. with Mayor quincy, Of
Boston. in the chair oscar Strauss
George =. Rush explained a primary
election bill he had just introduced in
the Illinois legislature.
Tom L. Johnson declared the popular
vote plan an utter failure and men
ace To- public welfare. He claimed that
the selection Of candidates by popular
vote had proved am utter failure in
several Ohio counties.
Mayor Quincy argued FOR the popular
vote plan. He said he was 3stonished
at Nj Johnsons paper but did not
believe that the system could be 50
worthless with proper regulations and
restrictions.
Edward j. Lauterbach argued in
somewhat the same strain. making a
vigorous appeal for the maintenance
of party fealty. He opposed the right
of a partisan to desert his party AT an
election Of national import and then
demand a voice in the next party pri-
mary.
In the election of officers of the ua-
uonal league Oscar Strauss. of New
York. was made president; Mayor
Quincy. Of Boston. first vice president.

Of New Orleans. third vice president:

The House Committee on Banking

Chairman Towne. of the Silver Repub-

which says i'm part:
so far as We are aware this is the

Importance. a great Congressional
committee engaged i'm giving hearings

At all events the important Com
mIttees OF Ways and Means and Coin

ed their hearings To representatives of
every shade OF opinion. Not to our
knowledge has il ever before been re-
quired as a condition precedent to be-
ing heard that each witness should
have had his own individual bill intro
duced and referred to the committee
1t seems clear TO us that such a re-
QuiTement il wholly illogical and un-
reasonable. Under it the affirmative
would always have monopoly Of the
testimony, and no person satisfied with
existing law on any subject could be
