TARIFF DAY FIXED.
To Be Passed January 28th.
Speaker Crisp Bounces
Boutelle.
Washington. Jan. 8. —After routine
morning work, which occupied nearly
an hour and in which there was nothing
of public interest. Mr. Chandler offered
a resolution directing the judiciary com
mittee to enquire into and report its
opinion as to cases in which the presi
dent may constitutionally send agents or
commissioners to foreign countries with
out the advice and consent of congress.
••Let that resolution lie over,” said
Mr. Gorman, and the resolution went
over for a day. Then Mr. Hoar’s reso
lution (offered last week) calling i>n the
secretary of the treasury for a statement
as to payments to Mr. Blount, .commis
sioner to Hawaii, was laid before the
senate, and Mr. Gorman moved its refer
ence to the committee on foreign rela
tions.
The Hoar resolution was referred to
the committee on foreign relations.
Then Mr. Turpie offered a resolution,
which went over, delating among
other things that foreign intervention it;
the political affairs of the Hawiian
islands will be regarded as an act un
friendly to the government of the United
States.
The Price resolution as to Hawaii was
laid before the senate, and went over
until Wednesday.
In the House.
When the speaker took his seat there
was an air of bustling activity in the
house. The galleries were unusually
full; there being scarcely standing room
in ihe public gallery. A feeling of sub
dued excitement pervaded the floor of
the house, and little knots of members
were seen in different parts of the hall
earnestly conversing.
The usual controversy between Mr.
Boutelle and the speaker came up im
mediately after the reading of the jour
nal, and gave rise to more excitement
than on any previous day. Mr. Reed
and Mr. Boutelle spoke in favor of con
sidering the latter’s Hawaiian resoln
tion, and the latter again made the point
that it was a question of privilege, while
the special order from the committee on
rules relative to the tariff bill was merely,
a privileged report and that the former
took precedence over the latter.
The speaker repeated his ruling made
in the Fitty-Second congress, holding
that the question of consideration could
not be raised against a resolution emana
ting from the committee on rules, and
that it took precedence over all other
questions.
He held that, when the committee on
rules brought in a special order changing
a certain rule, no member could attack
the resolution and entrench himself be
hind th? rule to be changed. When the
speaker finished he requested that Mr.'
Boutelle should take his seat.
“Yes, yes,” said Mr. Boutelle, sarcas
tically.
‘•The gentleman,” said the speaker,
still more emphatically, “will take his
seat.”

Was Returned Home,
Cleveland, ()., .Tan. 8. —A year ago,
after a somewhat unhappy married life, I *
the wife of Richard Hanson, of Buffalo, '
suddenly disappeared, taking with her a
4-year-old daughter, Ella. Hanson vain- 1
ly searched for the missing ones. About ‘
a month ago he was given a clue, which

iu getting possession of his child once (
more.
x our weens ago tne ooay or a woman I
was shipped from here to Buffalo under .
the name of Mrs. Benoit. A letter was
sent to the Buffalo undertaker inform
ing him, however, that the woman's '
real name was Mrs. Richard Hanson, *
the other name being used to avert sus- c
picion at Buffalo. The undertaker in- s
formed Hanson of the facts, and that
was the first intimation he had of his
child’s whereabouts. He camo to Cleve- *
land several davs ago, employed a de- t
tective, and the little one was located at j i
the home of Mis. Seclave, on Buhrer (
avenue.
It is said that Mrs. Hanson had been
living with a man named John Benoit, 1
the couple boarding with Mrs. Saclave. <
When the mother died the girl was left >
at the house. Hanson’s attorney at once
applied for a writ of habeas corpus and
it was granted. Later the child was
brought into court and after a hearing
she was given to her father. 1

NOT IN 1894
Will the Fight Come Off, Says
Florida’s Attorney General.
LETTER TO INTER-OCEAN.
The Governor’s Determination
to Stop the Fight at Ail
Hazzards.
Chicago, Jan. B.—The Inter Ocean
prints a letter from Attorney General
Lamar, of Florida, in which that official
says tire Corbett-Mitchell fight will not
be "pulled off” in Florida during the
present year. It is us follows:
Tallahassee, Jan. 5.
Your favor of the 2d instant to hand.
Therein you request that I give you some
reliable information upon the probability
of the Corbett-Mitchell prizefight taking
place in Florida. You intimate that you
desire this for the guidance of “-sports,”
now looking toward this state. Governor
Mitchell has declared emphatically that he
would use all power at his command to
prevent the Corbett-Mitchell fight. As
know him, and the v old hickory”
qualities of the governor, this declaration
itself settles it that there will be no light
unless the prizefighters can, at the last
moment, evade the authorities.
The law in this state is ample to prevent
the fight and punish fighters, should they
succeed in having the “mill.” The gover
nor is charged by tbe constitution with
seeing that the laws are faithfully execu
ted, and in carrying out such command he
can use the civil and military artillery of
the state, if it becomes necessary he will
use the latter as well as the former, but at,
present I think lie deems the civil author
ities ample to cope with prize fighting.
You may safely say to readers of The In
ter Ocean that the Corbett-Mitchell prize
fight cannot be “pulled off” iu Florida iu
the year 1894.
This letter is a trifle extra official in lan
guage and its general scope, but you asked
for information and it is given.
Very truly yours,
• W. B. Lamar, Attorney General.
SOLDIER FOUND DEAD.
Suspicious Surroundings Causes the Arrest
of His Cousin.
Birmingham, Ala., Jan. B.—Some ne
..gro children found the dead body of a
handsome young man, neatly dressed in
United States cavalry uniform in some
dense woods near the southern outskirts
of the city Sunday morning.
Papers in his pockets indicated that
the man’s name was Eugene Walker;
that he was a sergeant in company H
sixth Nebraska cavalry. He had evi
dently been murdered, as his pockets
were found to be rilled. Two pistol
balls had entered just behind his left ear
and powder burnsattested that the
weapon had been placed against the
head. 1
Eugene Byars identified the body as
that of Eug ‘lie Walked, a cousin of his.
He said Walker was \en route to his
lather’s home in Eldridge, Walker coun
ty, on a furlough. Walker had stopped
over to spend a few days) with relatives
here. Byars said he had \ left him about
dark, Saturday night, in this city. Bv
ars was under the influence of whisky
and talked too much,, He was arrested
on suspicion. ' - J

A System of Keys to Protect the Bankers
Freni liaised Drafts.
Chicago, Jan. B.—The
company has been incorporated, with a
capital of $50,000. The incorporators
are Henry L. Kent, of the First National
bank; A. G. Warner and William C.
Shaw. Its plan makes it practically
impossible to “raise” the amount of
drafts without being detected. It will
do away with the advice letter system,
as the drafts are made to “advise” them
selves through a system of ciphers and
keys.
A banker issuing a draft on his met
ropolitan correspondent enters a certain
number given in the key near his signa
ture to the draft. When the advice
number is correct there is no chance of
fraud, as each correspondent is given a
separate key of advice numbers which
cannot be duplicated or changed. A
separate key and system is used by each
bank.
A Big Montgomery Firm Fails.
Montgomery, Ala. Jan. B.—The Pollak
company, one of the largest wholesale
and retail dry goods houses in Alabama,
has failed. It was shut up by two at
tachments—one for about $40,000, by
Claflin & Co., of New York and the
other of about SC>O,OOO by the local bank
ing house of Morris &Co The issuance
of the attachments was followed by a
general assignment by Pollak & Co. It
is now impossible to get at an estimate
of the liabilities and assets, but both
sums are probably quite large.
John Wanumaker’s Uncle Dead.
Philadelphia, Jan. B.—George W.
Wanamaker, uncle of ex-Postmaster
General Wanamaker, is dead, aged 70
years. Before the war, when the
“Schuylkill Rangers” were a terror in
Pennsylvania, Mr. Wanamaker joined
the police force in the breaking up of
this gang of desperadoes. He was twice
shot. At the time of his death he was
employed in one of John Wanamaker’s
stores here.

I MORE ARRESTS.
Fi auds Charged by the Pension
Department.
A NEW YORKER HELD.
The Special Agent Says This
is Only a Starter—Five
Arrests.
Buffalo, Jan. B.—The pension depart
ment has just made the first of a series
of arrests of pension agents charged with
fraudulent work in securing pensions.
The prisoners are Major W. Bowen
Moore, the most prominent pension agent
in this state outside of New York city;
his son, Alfred B. Moore, and three
clerks in his office, Louis F. Haupt, Mary
M. Hanrahan and Mathilda Stock. They
are charged with forgery and securing
false affidavits.
Special Agent Ayres has been here six
months securing evidence. It is charged
that on Sept. 8 last Moore and his son
forged and counterfeited an affidavit for
the purpose of obtaining a pension tor
Leopoldina Roth as the alleged twidow
of George Roth, of Company jt, First
Volunteer cavalry of New York.; Misses
Hanrahan and Haupt are charged with
assisting m the forgery of .al pension
voucher to enable Anna Smith to obtain
$66. A third charge accuses Miss Han
rahan, Miss Stock and Alfred Jloore of
aiding Rosa D iweine to secure S4B.
The prisoners were arrested by Unite !
States Marshal Watts and taken before
Commissioner Fairchild. pleaded
not guilty and were held in !SI,OOO bail
for examination next week. /
For two years the pension department
has suspected that Moore nvas doing
business in a peculiar manner, and
finally began an investigation, such as is
now being conducted in ajlmost every
state in the union.
According to Special Agent Ayre’s
statement Moore has fraudulently se
cured for pensioners
Since 1889 he hai secured over 6,000
claims, of which at least 14.500 are al
leged to be fran lulent. In the cases in
vestigated so f:.r it lias been shown that
$150,000 has been wrongfully obtained
either by forgery or plain fraud.
Haupt assumed Moojre's business on
January 1, and in ordnr to continue it
he had to issue vouch ?r.< such as Moore
had been issuing. of these were

MRS. H. V. M- MILLER’S DEATH.
The Remains to be Brought Here Tomor
row for Burial.
Intelligence was received yesterday of
the death in Atlanta, of Mrs. Dr. H. V.
M. Miller, who had been prostrated at
her home for some days.
The remains will be brought to Rome
for interment on Wednesday morning,
and will be accompanied by Mrs. T. W.
Alexander, Mr. Hooper Alexander, Mrs.
J. A. Rounsaville and Mrs. Pride, of
Atlanta.
The older citizens of Rome all know
Mrs. Miller. She came to live here with
her husbind, Dr. H. V. M. Miller, about
1848, and spent twelve or fourteen of the
best years of her life in this community.
Her positoa in society was necessarily a
prominent one. Dr. Miller was then in
the prime of life, prominent in his pro
fession and politics, and bis cultured
wife was a fit helpmeet for a man of dis-
'inction. She was at that time a member
of the Methodist church and active in its
ministrations, but has of late years been
a member of the Episcopal communion
, They lived and dispensed hospitality
■at the beautiful country seat
I afterwards owned by Dr. S. P. Smith
and now occupied by Mr. L. A. Dean’s
family. Mrs. T. W. Alexander, a cousin
and adopted daughter of Mrs. Miller,
I spent her girlhood and was married
i there.
Mrs. Miller was half sister to the late
Dr. Jeff Ward, and was a cousin of Mrs.
John'W. H. Underwood of this city and
of Mr. A. C. Wyly, of Atlanta. She had
many friends here who will be saddened
by the news of her death.
Mrs. Miller had been sick for seme
time, following an attack of the grip, and
tier death was not unexpected by her
friends. Dr. Miller has also been very
sick with the grip, and in that weak con
dition the death of his beloved wife was
a crushing blow to him. It is not known
whether he will be well enough to ac
company the remains to Rome.
Further notice of the arrangements on
the arrival of the party will be given in
to-morrow’sT’KißUNE.
IT WAS CHARMING-
The Concert Last Nignt at Shorter
College.
A cultured and highly appreciative au
dience nearly filled the chapel at Shorter
college last evening, the occasion being
the violin recital of Mr. Edward Buch
anan and concert in which appeared
artists well known and popular in the
city.
was a .charming affair, and for two
hours those present were kept in a state
of high pleasure by the many beautiful
renditions.
Mr. Buchanan was the only one on the
program who is not well known to
Romans. After hearing bis playing last
i night if he does not become well-known
it will be through no fault of the music
loving public. His reputation as a
iinist bad preceded him, and a treat was
expected, but it is safe to say that not
i one of the critical audience failed to be
agreeably surprised. His renditions ex
, celled the highexpectation and affiicua-
MseEl •.

It was a delightful program through®

enough treat.

tives and most intimate friende being in
vited. The ceremony will be performed
by Dr. Morgan Calloway, of Oxford, Ga.,

Miss Wood is well-known to all Romans,
and has a great many friends in the ci'y,
who offer their hearty well wishes. For
several years she has devoted herself to
teaching, being one of the most efficient
of the public school corps. She possesses
much talent, and it was with great regret
that her resignation was accepted a few
days ago. Mr. Lowe is a Methodist min
ister of high standing, stationed at pres

who know h’m, and is receiving many
congratulations on winning such a bride.
