CRoWNINSHIELD'S COMMENTS.
Awaiting Explanation of How They
Came to Be Published.

The Venice incident" growing out of the
publication of Rear Admiral Crowninshield's s
reflections on the Italian authorities for the
alleged il-treatment of the officers of the
Chicago while in prison at Venice was the
subject Of discussion at yesterdays meet
ing of the cabinet. 1t is understood that
Secretary Moody submitted the official rec
ord of the court of inquiry, with Admira l
Crowninshield's comments thereon, in con-
nection with his action disappearing the
recommendation Of the court for court-mar-
tiai proceedings.
Admiral Crowninshield has not yet re-
piled to Secretary Moody's letter calling for
information to how the PAPERS in the
case became public. That is regarded as
the important point in the matter at this
time, as the publication has been made the
subject of diplomatic correspondence with
the Italian authorities
The action of this government will de-
pend to q great extent on the character of
Admiral Crowninshields report, and the
hope is general in official circles that his
report will show that none of the officers
of the European squadron was responsible
for the publication of the official records.

1t having been reported to Secretary
Moody that several of the higher class of
workmen at the Washington navy yard

rious rates of interest to less provident

PROPOSED ADMISSION OF TERRI
TORIES POSTPONED.

AS result of previous conferences with
Senator Quay the republican members OF
the Senate committee on territories today
agreed to take up and report the omnibus
statehood bill early next December and
also to instruct the chairman of the COM
mittee Senator Beveridge to call it up
soon afterward for consideration by the
Senate. This action was taken with the
understanding that Senator Quay would
withdraw his motion for the discharge Of
the committee from further consideration
of the bill and for it's immediate considera.
tion by he%Senate. and it was stated In the
conference that his agreement to this effect
had been secured.
Mr.. Quay's Statement.
In the Senate later Mr. Quay CPa.) made
statement concerning his motion to dis
charge the territories committee from con-
sideration of the territorial statehood bill.
He had said yesterday that he would per-
init no more business to be done at this ses-
sion in the Senate by nnanimDus consent
until his motion was disposed. Of He did
not want that statement sto be miscon-
strued. He and other senator's, who believ-
ed with him, desired nothing but a day in
court.
He hoped that the bill waaId be reported
either afirmativeiy or mega lively, and he
appealed to MI Bever1dge, chairman of the
committee on territories, to ascertain what
might be expected from the 0emmittee.
Mr.. Beveridge replied that, If that was
Mr.. Quay's position he sSas;prepared to say
the committee would report the statehood
bill on the third day of the next session.
Mr.. Quay said that was perfectly satis-
factory to him, and toss the republicans, at
least, of the committee on territories
To Be Taken UP December 10.
After some further cons sideration of the
matter Mr. Quay obtained unanimous con-
sent that on the 10th of December next the
statehood bill should be made the unfin-
ished business and should be continued as
such until disposed Of
Mr.. Bate (Tenn.), mensber of the COM
mittee on territories, said Mr.. Quay's prop
osition was entirely satisfactory to the mi
nority of the Senate, as ii was evident a
vote on the bill could not be had at this
session.
Mr.. Spooner CWfs) said he agreed to the
request because it was fair and just and
not because of the threat of Mr.. Quay to
hold up the Senate's business unless his
motion was passed upon.
Mr.. Quay disclaiiued any effort to
threaten the Senate. He said he had done
everything in the bread light of day, and
Had proposed simply to exercise his rights
with the agreement made, Mr. Quay with
drew his motion to discharge the territories s
committee from further consideration of
the statehood bill.
