The conference report on the military academy appropriation bill was present ed by Mr. Brice and agreed to. Mr. Lodge’s resolution as to the with drawal of vessels of war from the Ha waiian islands was laid before the sen ate. At 2 o’clock the Lodge resolution went to the calendar and eulogies on the late Senator Colquitt began. In the House. A resolution reported in the house from the committee on rules, directing the committee on appropriations to in corporate in the sundry civil bill a para graph transferring the Fort Leaven worth prison from the war department to the department of justice,was agreed to by a vote of 156 to 12. The house then went into a commit tee. of the whole on the currency bill, and Mr. Sibley, Democrat of Pennsyl vania, spoke in opposition to the meas ure. Referring to published report Uhat the executive department of the govern ment, in the person of the secretary of the treasury, was using its power to in fluence votes in favor of the bill, Mr. Sibley said: •‘Mr. Chairman:—lf I have read the constitution of the United States cor rectly, it defines the powers and duties of the chief executive and powers and ■duties of the membership of this house; and I tell you that today if ever rebuke was needed to one who has trampled ■down the prerogatives of the people it is to that man who has used his influ ence to usurp this entire government to himself. The time has come when there should be something more than brains, belly and brass to this government.” With tke Committees. While no formal meeting of the com mittee on rules has been held regarding the Carlisle banking bill, the Demo cratic members of the committee have tacitly agreed that a vote shall be taken on Friday of this week, and that the rule be reported soon regulating debate during the interim. The senate committee on interstate commerce considered the railroad bill. A letter was received from Commis sioner Morrison, of the interstate com merce commission, calling attention to certain defects in the measure. When the bill was discussed in the house a statement was made that it provided that railroads could fix their own rates, but these rates should not become oper ative until submitted to the commis sion. The same discussion led to the con clusion that the commission was given ample safeguards and complete super vision of matter. This contention Mr. Morrison disputes, and says the bill as now framed gives the commission su pervision only after railroads have agreed upon their rates. He desires that an amendment should be added that will give the commission that thorough control the necessities of the case requires. The committee ordered favorable re port on the house bill known as the commercial travelers’ bill. This is a bill in which the commer cial travellers are especially interested and for which they have worked hard. It has passed the house.

How Wright and Cosby escaped with out a scratch is a miracle as both the Jordans were experts in the use of both pistol and knife. The Jordans had been terrors in that end of Mercer county for years. Deerwood Jordan another brother, is now serving a term in the penitentiary. It was these same Jordans who sev eral years ago defied the county offi cers.

Cheek, formerly of Oakland, for hand ling the teakwood of Siam. Thus far, the whole case has been the subject of secret correspondence be tween the two governments, but as S. J. Cheek is now personally going to see Secretary Gresham, he sees no reason for keeping it quiet any longer.

A COMBINE AGAINST DEMOCRACY There is Some Impatience in the Senate OVER THE DEBATE ON THE CANAL BILL George’, Bankruptcy Measure Waiting—A Code of the Pension Laws Wanted. Torey Bill Advocates. Washington, Jan. B.—There is one consideration which has not, so far, been taken into account to influence the Republican and Populist senators to come together at the first meeting of the senate after March 4 for the reor ganization of that body, and that is the effect such a combination, or the failure to make it, the opportunity be ing presented, would have upon the two parties in the southern states. It is understood that southern repre sentatives of both parties are bringing this phase of the question to the atten tion of senators and urging that an or ganization in which both parties would have representation in the distribution of the patronage and the arrangement of the committees would be the best ev dence it would be possible to give the southern voters of the effectiveness of this joint work in the late campaign and the strongest assurance possible to give them that the combination had not been made for the purpose of hood winking the people. The Populists claim that in addition to Senators Peffer, Allen, Kyle and Stewart, the avowed Populists now sit ting in the senate, Senator Jones of Nevada will act with them, as will Sen ators Irby and Tillman of South Caro lina, and Mr. Butler of North Carolina, giving them a representation of eight senators after March 4. . A great many Republican senators disparage the idea of any reorganization and many who are not averse to it con tend that an agreement between the Republicans and Democrats is more natural than a combination of Populists and Republicans. impatience in the Senate. There is going to be some impatience in the senate on the part of the cham pions of other bills over the prolonged debate on the Nicaragua canal bill. The advocates of the bankruptcy bill are growing/fe-ipecially solicitious, and it is rumored* that Senator George, who has the bankruptcy bill in his keeping, will soon attempt to have it kept up even if in doing so he would have to ask that the Nicaragua bill be displaced. Mr. George pronounced this rumor as with out foundation, but admitted that he had been disappointed that the debate on the canal bill had continued for such a length of time. He said that it had been understood when the order for the consideration of the measure had been agreed on that the debate on the canal bill would not continue to exceed six days. “I shall not attempt to deplace it,” he s lid, “but shall be very glad when it is out of the way.” Senator Morgan said after the close of the session that he did not think there would be a great many more speeches on the canal bill, and that he believed that two days more would bring the de bate to a close if it could continue with out interruption. “I am, ” he said, “as anxious as any one can be to close the debate, but there have been unforeseen delays.” Senator George expects to encounter considerable opposition to the bank ruptcy bill. It is expected that the advocates of' the Torney bill will oppose the pending bill. The fight will be in a gentleman ly way between the advocates of the voluntary bankruptcy bill and those of the invo.untary bankruptcy. To Codify the Pension Laws, Representative Martin, chairman of the house committee on invalid pen sions, will make an effort to push to en actment, befofe the death of the Fifty third congress, the bill embodying the codification of pension acts which is the one project most desired by the pension bureau. The codification has been com piled by Messrs. T. F. Demis and D. 8. Parker, two experts who are detailed by the pension commissioner for special service with the house committee on in valid pensions and pensions respective ly. It is the result of much work and research, and, if it secures the authori zation of congress, will materially les sen the work of pension officials and at torneys. Since 1878, when the statistics at large were combined with the revised statutes, the pension laws have been among the most difficult of any class of the statute books to sift and determine. Pension legislation has been enacted since the revolutionary war, with a constantly increasing record of enact ments and revisions which have greatly complicated the code. To learn any final word on any feature of the pension law it is necessary to search in the re vised statutes; but the new codification gives the whole body of law in concise and conveniently arranged form. The house consented to a special night session for the reading of the bill. In view of its importance it was thought best to not push the bill through with out a reading, but it was not desired to consume as much of the time as the house in its regular hours would be necessary to deliver the whole docu ment. It was estimated that the clerk would require four hours to proclaim the 140 pages. The sanction of Speaker Crisp has been secured for the measure, and as its passage is earnestly desired by Com missioner Lochren and Assistant Secre to»r of the Interior Reynolds, he has promised to recognize Mr. martin to call it up in the near future. The bill is also on the senate calendar and members of the senate committee on pensions are pledged to put forth every effort to secure its consideration. SEVEN TIMES MARRIED. A Man Who Paid for Six Divorce! Tries the Same Woman Again. Chicago, Jan. B.—Mrs. Mary J. Dun levy and James S. Dunlevy, six times divorced and seven times married, were united for the latest and they say the last time by Justice Randall H. White.

Do you want to marry this woman?” ‘‘Well, I dou’t know, judge,” said the defendant; “I’ve paid for six divorces already.” He finally consented. Abuse and drink were the causes of divorce, and and Mrs. Dunlevy was always the plain tiff. IN AN INCUBATOR. Another New York Baby Struggling for Exiiitence, Like Baby Haight Did. New York, Jan.

Sacks, of 51 One Hundred and Fourteenth street, gave birth to this child, which though very tiny is perfectly formed. An incubator was provided at once and it is believed that the baby will live, although the mother is in a very critical condition. CALI FORNIA’S GOVE RNO R.
