IN THE HOUSE.
Bill to Improve Revenue Cutter Passed
by Vote of 1876 to 49.

Washington, April 3.-The Senate
bill to promote the efficiency of the
revenue cutter service passed the
House, today, by vote of 135 to 40.
The opponents of the measure fought
it to the last ditch. At the every end
they attempted a filibuster, but We're
swept aside by the overwhelming ma
iority in favor of the measure.
The bill gives the commissioned Of
ficers of the revenue cutter service
relative rank as follows: Captains
with majors in the army and lieutenant
commanders in the navy; first lieuten-
ants with captains in the army and
lieutenants in the navy; second lieu
tenant with first lieutenant in the
army and lieutenants (junior grade) in
the navy; and third lieutenants with
second lieutenants in the army and en-
signs in the navy.

longevity pay equivalent to the cor
responding rank in the army and pro-
vides for their retirement and three
fourths pay for disability or upon
reaching the age limit of Ga years.

THAT BRITISH CAMP.
England's Shipping Station Near New
Orleans to Be Investigated.

Washingto on, April 3.-Secretary Hay
has received from Gov. Heard of Lou
isiana. the statement referred to in this
mornings publications alleging the ex-
istence of a British camp at Chalmette,
Just below New Orleans on the Missis-
sippi river.
The Governors communication is
voluminous comprising statements and
afiidavits, intended to disclose the
character of the alleged camp. BY di-
rection of the President it has been re-
ferred to the attorney general with a
view to securing an opinion on certain
legal points involved, and meanwhile it
will not be given out for publication.
While the state department will not
hesitate n moment to make inquiries
into the correctness of any such charges
preferred by any responsible person,
such as the Governor of Louisiana, it
is believed that even now the depart
ment is not without it's own ideas as to
what is going on at Chalmette and this
knowledge has not shaken the depart
ment's original view that these opera
tions are entirely lawful and that there
is no power in the national or state
governments to prevent them.
So long as the shipments from Chal-
mette are confined to horses, live stock,
fodder and provisions, and the port is
not made the point of departure of. a
naval or military expedition. it is held
that there is no warrant for interfer-
ence. even if the supplies are bought
directly by the British government.

MARKET REPORTS.
NEW YORK STOCK MARkEr.
Features Of the Days Dealings in All
the Leading Stocks, rsi

New York. April 3.-Thes Granger and
transcontinental railroad stocks devel-
oped surprising animation and buoyancy
within few minutestDf foday's closing
dealings in stocks, and were rushed nj,
in sensational manner which prerit,i-
tated an eager scramble amongst the
bears TO get in under cover, thus accent
dating the rise. Previous TO that time
the character of the market had been
much the same as that prevailing for Al
long time past. There was a rather NOT
able demand for St. Paul, ,but not greater
than consistent with the recent Tactics
OF professional pools in supporting some
one leading stock for effect on the rest of
the market. The general list continued
neglected and irregular. About midway
or the session there was fairly compre-
hensive movement In the Vanderbilt
stocks. There was n long list OF gains
running from point or over, some OF
which were simply recoveries from de-
preston of yesterday. At the same time
Amalgamated Copper. Colorado Fuel
United States Leather preferred and the
minor steel stocks were rather acutely
depressed by realizing sales. The stock
closed practically NJ the top with d gain
OF points. The market closed very ac-
tive and generally strong. though the re-
sponse had not been notable outside OF
the stocks mentioned and some OF the
specialties continued to drop away The
bond market was not very active but
there was well distributed demand. To-.
tai sales, par value. S3.62D.OOl United
States bonds Were all unchanged on the
last sale.

Boston. April 3.-In recognition of
his long. busy and fruitful life. as a
journalist. theologian. philanthro-
pist, and man of letters, several
thousand of Boston's leading citizens
gathered in Symphony hall, tonight, to
honor Rev. Edward Everett Hale. d.
D.. and lend him the hand of welcome
and congratulation on his S0th birth
day anniversary.
The assemblage was large and in
many respects a notable one, for near
ly every sect and race in the city was
represented.
The evening was devoted to three
anthems of praise, n most fitting re-
sponsive reading, learned and elo-
quent Grafton by Senator George f.
Hoar. and a singularly unselfish re-
sponse by the chief figure of the occa-
sion.
One of the pleasing features in con-
nection with the celebration. but one
which did not figure in the evening
program, was the presentation to DR..
Hale of substantial--sum of money
which he found upon his return home

RIGHTS OF STRIKERS.
New York Judge Refuses Injunction on
Their Establishing Pickets.

New York. April 3.-Justice Gaynor
in the supreme court, Brooklyn, today,
handed down the decision bearing on
the question as to whether strikers
may maintain a picket line. The JUS
tice denied an injunction asked for by
Frank HerZog and Louis Erbe, book
binders, to restrain ]. l.. Fitzgerald and
others from patrolling and picketing
the streets in the vicinity of the plain
tiff's place Of business with a view to
inducing or compelling men at work to
Join in a strike which had been de-
clared. In this decision Justice Gaynor
said,
This is not n case for an injunction
in abeyance of trial. No violence has
been done to persons or property.
Capital and labor have an equal right
to organize, as is now recognized by
all sensible people. The courts should
not interfere except in a case of OBJ
vious necessity. When courts and
judges of first instance have gone be-
yond this. it has been an abuse of

firemen to prevent the destruction OF
the Windsor Hotel, which was tne last
to take fire. The wind had been favor
able TO the firemen. but at l-ao cioch
the winr of the Windsor nearest the
blazing structures began to burn ah'
in the course of a half hour had bee"
consumed. The flames, however. were
confined to this section of the building
thoIeh the main portion of the hotel
is badly DANA ged by smoke and water.
Nothing is left of the board walk
from Illinois avenue to a point within a
few feet of Young's pier but the iron
supports. This is the portion of the
walk that is mostly used by prone
naders The Dunlop hotel and the
Bleak house, massive brick structures,
at Tennessee avenue and the beach,
were in grave danger when the con-
flagratiOn was at its height. The en-
ployes of both houses played streams
of water upon the buildings from all
sides. and in this way doubtless pre-
vented the further spread of the flames.
All of the guests of the burned hotels
who were forced to seek other quarters
have been cared for. Those who had
been stopping at the Luray were given
rooms at the new Hotel Marlborough,
which is under the same management.
Others registered at Various hotels and
boarding houses.
1t was 3 o'clock before the firemcn
were convinced that there was no fur
ther danger and then the visiting en-
gine companies returned to Philadel-
phia and Camden.
Tonight. the scene of the fire was Wis
tied by nearly every person in the city
and policemen ana soldiers were busy
keeping the crowds al a safe distance
away from the smouldering ruins. Nu-
mcrous express wag 1ns which had been

more safe than the streets and the
beach were kept at work until a late
hour.
Mayor St0y was not in the city when
the fire broke out. having gone 10 Tren-
tn with party from here % urge
GOV. Murphy To sign the new Atlantic
city charter. The Governor had de-
lay,-d signing m" charter because Of
certain conflicting clauses. The char
tar. among other things. provides for
more strict building laws. While the
delegation was cnnferring with the
stat" "XccntiV". news of the fire reached
Trenton. The Governor Immediately
signed the charter.
a special meeting Of the city council
was held. tonight. To take action on the

THE KANSAS CITY SHOOT.
Leaders Narrowing Down and Prize
Winners Will Be Few.

Kansas City, Mo, April 3.-At the
close of the second day of the Grand
American Handicap at Blue River park,
the number Of wing shots with straight
scores had been materially reduced. OF
the 143 who had not missed bird when
the shooting ended, yesterday, 50
dropped out, today, leaving "a who still
have a straight score.
Mrs. G. s. Johnson of Minneapolis,
had a straight score at the end of the
ninth round, but she lost her 10th and
18th birds. Annie Oakley did not miss
a bird, today, but she failed to make a
straight score, yesterday.
As there are 63 moneys to be divided.
it is certain that all of the winners will
not have straight scores, but no one
who kills less than "a birds will receive
any part of the purse.

otherwise known as Mrs. Ella J. Fur
bush. and her 10-year-old daughter

of robbery.
Lane was captured four hours after

arraigned the next morning. and, to-
day, he was committed to prison to
await the action of the grand jury,
which, in turn. late this afternoon, re-
turned two indictments against him for
murder. The court Immediately as
signed counsel to legally defend him,
and his trial will begin and end, to-
morrow.
lr his arraignmCnt before the grand
jury. Lane pleaded guilty to the two
charges, which makes it certain that
he will be convicted of murder in the
first degree, tomorrow.

torney to Immediately send the case to

the date of the execution of capital
cases at not less than 80 days from the
date a prisoner is sentenced to death.
1t is expected that the Governor will
fix the date of the execution of Lane as
early as the law will permit.
IL the intentions of the officers of the
law are carried out, it will be the quick
est of convictions and execution of the
sentence Of death in the annals of cap
itai cases in this state.
The condition of the child Eloise is,
tonight. critical.
