RUPTURE SPRUNG UP
Between Union and Non Union Operatives
 Over Contributions.

New Bedford, Mass, Feb. s.-The prinoi- pal talk of tine day in the strike situation is the difference that had arisen between union and non-union operatives. This dif- ference threatens to end In open rupture and as many cases of destitution are re- ported. no doubt hundreds of non-union make break from the strikers and re- turn to work.
 These noal-unionfsts claim that money collected outside the union has been paid to union operatives to the exclusion of the non-union help. Such feeling has been created among non-union strikers that a meeting was called for this afternoon. At the headquarters in Dawson's hall non- union striker mounted a platform when some of the crowd set upon him and put him out of the building.
 Under these circumstances even the men who had threatened to advise tho non- unionists to vote to return to work unless the union promised aid, were not present at the appointed time this afternoon. But the disaffectdon has become sufficiently widespread as to cause a feeeling of un- easiness and fears are expressed that unless some measure is taken at once the nom unionists will cause trouble which may result in stampede to the mills.
 This charge of the non-unionists of not receiving proper aid has caused an un- usual amount of bitterness among the undon men and women in charge of the collections. The most prominent labor men are inclined to urge thb strike council to let he non-unonists assume tho tasks for themselves.

COLUMBIA APPROPRIATION BILL

Washington, Feb. 3-In his invocation at the opening of the senate today the chaplain made a fervent appeal for the restoration to health of the senior sena- tor from Mississippi, Mr. Walthall.
 A bill repeating an act granting Ameri- can register to the steamers claribel and others, was reported and passed. MT. Frye, of Maine, said that the act had been passed under misapprehension as the vessels were owned by Englishmen.
 Germany's order prohibiting the impor- tation of American fruits into that empire called out resolution from MT. Davis, of Minnesota, chairman of the committee on foreign relations, calling upon the president if not incompatible with the public interest to transmit to the senate the correspond ence and other information bearing upon the matter in his possession. or in that of the state department The resolution was agreed to.

GAYN0RS ALWAYS IN IT.
They Were Connected With Nearly Every Con-
 tract, According to SterIy

Savannah, Ga., Feb. 3-The trial by courtmartial of Captain Carter was con tinued this morning. J. w. o. Sterly, clerk in the United States engineers office. was put on the stand again and read doc- umentary testimony
 He testified that in June, 1897, Captain Carter went away from Savannah, carry ing with him to Washington checks pay able to the Atlantic Contracting company, and instructed MT. Sterly to wire him the amount of work done in June so that he could order the money paid while north.
 Mr. Sterly did this when the bill for work done was to be sent to Washington. Y aess said M. A. Connolly, clerk in Car teis office, signed the name of Treasurer E,aynor to it and forwarded to Washing ton. .
 The evidence given by Sterly tended to show that in recent years the Gaynors have had finger in nearly every contract let by Captain Carter either in their own name or that of some one connected with them. Several new witnesses were in- troduced later in the day.
 Four negroes were put on the stand to testify as to the character of the work done in the brush camps of the Atlantic Contracting company, where they had been employed. Their testimony was evidently very unsatisfactory to the government as they said the brush had been choked pret- ty well. They said bundles of brush were frequently condemned by the contractors and their pay cut down. These bundles they stated, went into the mattresses. but they were just as good as the others, being condemned, according to their tes- timony. only for the purpose of cutting down the pay.

of California, for the introduction of the following joint resolution:
 Resolved, That of right, 1t belongs who'll ly to the people of the Hawaiian Islands to establish and maintain their own form of government and domestic policy; that the United States ought in nowise to in- terfere herewith and that any interven- tion in the political affairs of those islands by any other government will be regarded as an act unfriendly to the United States. The resolution was passed by the senate on May s1, 1894, having been reported by MT. Turpie of the committee on foreign relations Mr. White asked that the reso- lution lie on the table.
 MT. Cullom then called up the agricul- tural appropriation bill, the reading of which was concluded last evening. Pend- ing the submission of certain amendments to the bill, MT. Platt, of Connecticut, ex- pressed regret that the committee had not stricken from the bill the appropriation for the purchase and distribution of seeds. He read a letter from number of mem- bers of Connecticut grange in which the statement was made that the seeds sent out by the department were not good, could not be. depended upon and were of no ouse to the farmers and gardeners.
 In reply to MT. Platt's brief statement MT. Allen thought that the chief opposi- ton to the governments distribution of seeds came from those who themselves had seeds for sale.
 Ought To Be Reform
 MT. Bacon thought there ought to be a reform in the distribution of seeds. He believed the department ought to purchase seeds for distribution from persons who were known to raise and produce seeds of value. In many instances the seeds purchased were neither valuable nor rare.
 'sThis is the unmitigated humbug of the whole thing" interjected Mir. Platt, of Con- necticut.
 The amendment to the agricultural bill offered by MT. Warren providing for division of irrigation and reclamation of arid lands for the investigation of the methods of constructing irrigation canals and storing and distributing water in the reclamation of arid lands. the whole to cost s2l 300, was discussed briefly by its It was maintained that the adoption of the amendment would be of enormous value to the western country.
 !, MT. Bate was of the opinion that the present proposition was simply the first step in mammoth scheme to reclaim the arid lands of the country It was a beau tiful idea he said, but the finances of the country were not at present in such con- dition as to enter upon the proposed scheme. In addition, he maintained, the proposition was wrong, because it looked to the performance of work by the fed (Continued on Eighth Page)

ANTl-sCALPlNG BILL.
TiIman and Chandler Press the Pass Amend :
 r1ent

Washington, Feb. 3-The senate commit tee on interstate commerce today author ized a favorable report on the anti-scalping bill, with amendments. One of the amend ments. the following offered by Senator TElman, relates to railway passes:
 That giving free transportation to per- sons or property, except as allowed by section p of the act Ito regulate com merce" approved February {, 1887, shall be deemed an unjust discrimination under section of said act, and shall be punished as provided in section 10 of said act and in addition to the penalties upon indiyid- taas provided in secton 10, the corpora tiOas which may be guilty of any such offense Shall be punished by fine as in said section, provided that all free passes is- sued by or on behalf of any railroad cor poration subject to the provisions of said action shha be signed by some officer of the corporation authorized by vote of the directors to sign the same and every such railroad corporation shall keep a. record chewing the date of every free pass, the name of the person to whom it is issued the points between which the passage is granted. and whether a single trip or time pass, and if the latter, the time for which it is issued; and this record shall at all times be open to the interstate commerce commissioners or to their representatives who may be duly authorized in writing to examine the same"
 The house bill was used as basis of proceeding and section 2 of that bill was amended so as to remove all restrictions as to the person to whom ticket holder may sell his ticket. Originally the person to whom the ticket could be sold must be one "who would in good faith personally use 1t in the prosecution of a journey" This clause was eliminated and the proviso was left to read as follows:
 ''That the purchaser of a transferable ticket in good faith for personal use in the prosecution of Q journey shall have the right to sell the same"
 The amendment regulating the issuance of passes was strenuously pressed by Sem ators Tillman and Chandler.
 MT. Tillman said in reply to a question from Senator Wolcott that he thought he would vote for the bill if this provision was Incorporated. Senator Chandler is the author of the amendment. He introduced 1t in the senate as an independent bill sev-

 Washington, Feb. 3.-The senate commit tee on postoffce and post roads today, by a unanimous vote, decided to report favora- bly, the nomination of Buckley for post master at Montgomery.
 '"This means Buckley's rejection" said a member of the committee to me today. We gave him all the chances on earth to disprove the charges against him and his failure to do so shows conclusively that they are true. If they are he is utterly unfit to hold any position of trust in any community, and we could not, in justice to ourselves, confirm him."

 If the nomination of Smith and Buckley are rejected it will be the first time the senate has had occasion to reject any of President McKinley's nominations. The other Alabama cases are still in abeyance. Lunnon has less than three weeks more to disprove the charges against him.

Washington July 1G.-An assault
upon Santiago may yet be necessary
to secure the fall of that city. The
terms of surrender have not yet been
fully agreed upon. At 1 O'Clock this
morning, as Secretary Alger was leaV'
ing the White House in company with
Secretary Bliss and Postmaster Gen
eral Smith, he said. he was authorized
uation: "The Spanish general doesn't
want to lay down his arms. He de-
'slres to carry them back to Spain with
the troops. This proposition has been
positively and emphatlcally refused.
General Toral must surrender ON our
terms. Otherwise the city will be
attacked from land and Sea and oc-
cupied by the American troops"
Thus 1t appears that the question of
allowing the Spanish troops to take
their arms back to Spain is the one
point standing between a peaceable or
forcfble taking of Santiago.
One of the members of the cabinet,
with whom have just talked, express
ed the opinion that when General Toral
received our ultimatum he would
yield. Another expressed doubt and
suggested that General Tor;ils nego-
tiations for peace were solely for the
purpose of delay to enable him to
strengthen his position by reinforce
ments from other points in the Santa
go district.
AS diplomatists,' the cabinet officer
remarked "the Spanlards can beat us,
and it looks lttle'a as if General Toral,
realizing his ability to cope with Gen
eral Shafter in the field Of battle, had
resorted to trickery in the hope of
finding some escape from the difficult
position in which he is placed"
