CARLISLE'S BILL IN CAUCUS.
Democratic Members of the House Talk
Over the Situation.
The Caucus Adopts a Resolution Intro
duced by Speaker Crisp That the Bill
Should Be Passed—The Committee on
Bules to Be Requested to Report an
Order to Push the Measure to a Vote
This Week—The Members of the Cau
cus Not Bound by Its Action.
Washington Jan. 7.—Three hours were
spent in caucus this afternoon by the
democrats of the House. The purpose -was
to secure an exchange of views regarding
the Carlisle banking bill, which was
taken up for debate a week before the
holiday recess, and which is still before
the House, Mr. Holman presided and 152
members answered to their names at roll
call.
Immediately upon the conclusion of the
roll call, Mr. Livingston of Georgia made
a motion that all those present should be
bound by the action of the caucus.
The chamber was rapidly filling up with
members and at the time the Livingston
motion was made fully 175 democrats were
in their seats. There was an instant cho
rus of “No” and a point of order was made
against it.
The chair sustained the point of order
stating in effect that the uniform practice
of thirty years was that caucuses are ad
visory and not binding in their character.
Mr. Springer moved that all speeches be
limited to five minutes.
.Speaker Crisp took the floor and said
that the Democratic party in congress has
kept its pledges. It has reformed the tar
iff, repealed the federal election law and
practiced economy in the appropriations.
Tho party has differed in matters affect
ing the currency and finances. The Secre
tary of the treasury has formulated a
bill. The question is can the party agree
upon something at this short session? He
believed legislation should be had and that
congress should respond to the call of the
treasury and of the country. He then offer
ed the following resolution:
Resolved, That it is the sense of this
caucus that the Carlisle currency bill
should be passed by the House of Rep
resentatives, substantially as presented
in the substitute which has been printed in
the Record, and which will be offered at
the proper time by the chairman of the
committee cn banking and currency, and
that the committee on rules be requested
to report an order to-morrow, immediate
ly ater the reading of the journal, which
vhall provide for its consideration for one
more day for general debate and thereaf
ter under the five-minute rule, and a final
■ vote there at the earliest practicable time
during this week.
Mr. Sperry of Connecticut moved that
the pending resolution be so amended as
to read that it is the sense of the caucus
, that the bill introduced by him shall be
'■'passed by the House.
Mr. Terry of Arkansas offered an
amendment authorizing each state treas
urer to buy silver bullion sufficient in
amount to coin a dollar for every inhabi
tant »f the state, and to present it to the
United States treasurer, the latter f.o coin
it into silver dollars and tn turn present
it to the state treasurer.
After speeches by Messrs. Hall of Mis
souri, and Brickner of Wisconsin, Mr.
Coffen of Wyoming offered a resolution
extending the time for general debate by
three days.
Speaker Crisp made a point of order
against it, and the point was sustained.
Mr. Crisp then demanded the previous
question on the resolution introduced by
him and the amendments.
The previous question was ordered.
The Terry amendment was first consid
ered. It was defeated by a vote of 64
nays to 54 ayes. ’
Mr. Bperry's amendment was then re
jected by an overwhelming majority, there
being but thirteen votes in its favor. These
were cast by Messrs. Wells and Brickner
of Wisconsin, Sperry and Deforrest of
Connecticut, McAleer of Pennsylvania,
Harter and Pierson of Ohio, Fielder of
New Jersey, and Lockwood, Coombs, Hen
drix, Lacey and Strauss of New York.
Mr. Crisp's resolution was finally adopt
ed by a vote of 81 to 59.
The vote showed that seventy-five demo
cratic members of the House were not
present at the caucus. This vote and the
speeches for and against the bill seemed
to be differently interpreted. Mr. Springer,
for example, believes that many of those
who opposed the Crisp resolution to-day
will support the Carlisle bill in the end,
the more especially as some of them are
constrained to believe that it will be
amended so as to be more in conformity
with their sentiments. He says that to
argue that, the fifty-nine gentlemen who
opposed the resolution will also oppose
the bill would be to say that the caucus
has no persauslve power, a fact which he
is inclined strongly to dispute. He be
lieves that a majority of the seventy-five
absentees will also support the bill, and
that it will curry by a fair majority.
Other gentlemen regard the spirit dis
played at the caucus as Indicating the
death of the measure. They say that the
speeches in opposition to the bill show
that the extreme silver men, as well as
the opponents of free silver, with but few
exceptions, have joined hands in opposi
tion to the measure, and that their op
position will be supplemented by the solid
vote of the republicans and populists, and
that as a result the measure cannot pass
the House.
One of the curious incidents of the caucus
•was the meager support accorded to the
amendment offered by Mr. Sparry of Con
necticut, the purpose of which was to
commit the caucus to an indorsement of
the bill introduced by him last week to
fund the greenbacks and the treasury
notes into bonds. An analysis of the vote
given for this amendment shows that four
of its thirteen supporters are western
men, two from Ohio and two from Wis
consin. while the remaining nine are from
the east.
Equally surprising was the large vote
given to the Terry amendment, which
authorised the coinage by the Secretary
of the Treasury of a silver dollar of 412 V.
grains for each Inhabitant of the forty
four states and territories. This amend
ment received the support of fifty-four
members and was defeated by a bare ma
jority of ten.
Mr. Crisp’s resolution was divided. The
second proposition was as to the limita
tion of debate by the committee on rules.
The first proposition was carried- by a
vote of elghty-one ayes to fifty-nine noes.
and the second proposition without mate
rial objection. The New York members
who voted for the first proposition were
Messrs. Lockwood, Warner and Strauss,
Four others, Messrs. Cockran, Covert.
Hendrix and Ryan voted in the negative.
At 5 o'clock a motion to adjourn was
made and immediately carried.

POPE LEO’S ENCYCLICAL.
The Document Now on Its Way to
Washington.
Washington Jan. 7.—Dr. Rooker, sec
retary of Archbishop Satclli, the apos
tolic delegate to the United States, states
this morning that he had reasons to
think the long expected encyclical letter
of Pope Leo, in regard to American church
matters, was on its way to Washington,
but it had not yet been received. He
further states that as the letter would of
course be in the latin language, and of
considerable length and of great impor
tance, it might take from ten days to two
weeks after Its reception at the apostolic
legation before it could be satisfactorily
translated, into English and the transla
tion be so revised as to insure no possible
misrepresentation of the holy father’s
sentiments. Dr. Rooker added the assur
ance that the document would be made
public from Washington when received,
and after proper care lias been taken in
its translation.
Boston, Mass., Jan. 7.—The decision re
cently made at Rome vpith regard to the
membership of the Catholics in certain
secret societies is now in force in the
arch-diocese of Boston, in all the churches
in which the following communication
was read yesterday by the pastors:
Archbishopric of Boston, Dec. 28, 1894.
Rev. Dear Sir: We learn by letters from
Rome, forwarded, by his excellency, the
apostolic delegate at Washington, that our
holy father has forbidden Catholics to
join the societies of Odd Fellows, Knights
of Pythias, or Sons of Temperance.
As to those who have already joined
any of these societies, they are to be ad
monished to withdaTw from them, and if
they refuse to do so they are to be de
nied the sacraments. Yours very sin
cerely, John J. Williams,
Archbishop of Boston.
MADE DELIRIOUS BY GRIEF.
A Woman Crazed by the Death of Hus
band and Daughters.
Brooklyn, Jan. 7.—William Robinson, 79
years old, who lived in a cottage on West
Clarkson street, in Flatbush, died this
morning. In a coffin by his side was the
corpse of his daughter, Eugenie, aged 35.
On Wednesday last another daughter,
Mary, 25 years old, w,as buried from the
same room.
The only surviving member of the family
is the widow. She is ill in bed and wild in
delirium, caused by the series of misfor
tunes that have come suddenly upon her.
The doctors say they do not believe she
can live through the night.
Mary died from pneumonia. She was sick
but a few days.
Her father died on Saturday morning of
heart disease. He had been ailing for
about a week, but the doctors say it was
the shock attendant on the death of Mary,
who was his favorite child, that killed
him so soon.
At the time of his death Eugenie was
suffering from pneumonia. When she
heard of her father’s death she burst into
a fit of weeping, then lapsed into uncon
sciousness, and never regained her
senses. Five hours later she had breathed
her last.
Through all these hardships Mrs. Robin
son had borne up bravely. Even after Eu
genie died, for a time, she held up. After
the father and daughter had been prepared
for burial, the widow went -in to look at
them. The sight was more than she could
bear. She fainted, and when that attack
passed away, she was delirious. She has
been in that condition at the point of death
ever since.
Mr. Robinson and Eugenie xtere burled
this afternoon.

r The Bonds to Be in Small Denomina

" in Retiring the Greenbacks—Treasury
f and National Bank Notes to Give Way
to Silver Oertificates-Half of All Im
’ port Duties Must Be Paid in Gold.
. Washington, Jan. 7.—To-night the indi
_ cations for the passage, of the Carlisle
, flnanacial bill through the House are de
-3 cidedly unfavorable. The democratic
_ caucus held this afternoon did not clear
X the atmosphere of the cloud of doubt
and uncertainty that has hovered over
[ the bill ever since it was reported to the
House by Chairman Springer. It is true
. the resolution to support the bill intro
i duced by Speaker Crisp was carried by a
t very narrow margin, which was probably
, due largely to his personally popularity
, among the members. The vote was 81 for
and 59 against, with 75 absentees. The gen
eral impression here to-night is that the
bill cannot pass the House.
Over on the Senate side of the capitol
there is a disposition to frame a finan
cial measure to meet the changed condi
tion of affairs. Underlying the whole
question are the wise suggestions made
and agreed upon by the Senate steering
committee in the first session of the pres
ent congress,when the repeal of the Sher
man silver act was under consideration.
That committee was composed of Mr. Jus
tice White of Louisiana, (then a senator),
Senators Gray of Deleware, Blackburn of
Kentucky, Ransom of North Carolina,
Cockrell of Missouri, Vilas of Wisconsin,
Walthall of Mississippi and German of
Maryland. The tendency now it to take
some practical steps to relieve the
treasury, for Secretary Carlisle shows
by the records that the expen
ditures are $80,000,000 in excess
of the receipts up to the present time. The
question is being quietly considered by
the leading senators on both sides es the
chamber, and if any result is obtained it
will probably be on the lines of a com
promise bill. It is proposed to issue $500,-
000,000 of two and one-half or three per
( cent, bonds of the denomination of SSO,
and make it a popular loan, to run for
thirty years, or a shorter period, at the
discretion of the Secretary of the Treas
ury. $100,000,000 of the money derived from
the sale of the bonds is to be expended to
relieve the present wants of the treasury,
the balance to be issued from time to time
to take up the greenbacks and retire
them as rapidly as the national bank cir
culation increases; to permit the national
banks to issue notes up to the par value
of their bonds, to reduce the tax on na
tional and state banks from 1 to H per
cent,, to withdraw from circulation all
United States treasury notes and na
tional bank notes under S2O, and issue sir
ver certlfllcates from $1 up to S2O, thus giv
ing fair recognition to the advocates of
silver. To authorize the holders of silver
bullion to take their silver to the mints of
the United States for actual coinage, the
government to charge as seigniorage the
difference between the commercial and, the
coinage value of the silver, not to exceed
$50,000,000 In any one year. The govern
ment to withdraw the greenbacks and the
treasury notes from circulation as fast as
there is an increase in the national bank
ing currency and silver dollars. To pro
hibit the national banks from withdraw
ing their circulation without the consent
of the Secretary of the Treasury, in order
to prevent the contraction of the currency.
The bill also proposes to require duties on
all imports from gold standard countries
to be paid one-half in gold.
The more this subject is discussed, the
more reasonable it appears Secretary Car
lisle and the friends of the administration
are said to be in favor of something of
this nature. It is said that some of the
republican leaders are willing to lend their
aid to pass such a measure, which is con
structed with a view to meeting the de
mands of all the coniXnding elements,
from the gold bugs down to and includ
ing the rree silver and state bank tax ad
vocates. The suggestions herein contained
will be formally presented In the Senate
in a few days and it is claimed that they
will commend themselves to a majority
of the two Houses of congrijps.

STEAMERS 1,000 FEET LONG.
Chairman Glynn Insists That They Are
Sure to Be Built.
Liverpool, Jan. 7.—-Mr. Glynn, chairman
of the works committee of the Mersy
Dock board, gave a short interview this
evening cncernlng the future passenger
trade on the Atlantic. Last week Mr.
Glynn caused a stir among shipping men
by mentioning plans to accommodate ves
sels 1,000 feet long and capable of steam
ing from Sandy Hook to Daunt’s Rock
in three and a half days. Several ship
owners replied that the paying limit had
been reached in the Lucania and Cam
plna, and no larger boats would be built.
Mr. Glynn’s answer to-night was: “The
dock board has mooted the schemes of
which I spoke last week, but they are not
sufficiently defined as yet for publication.
The talk about the paying limit, as ex
emplified by the Campania and Lucania
is ridiculous. Twenty years ago the boats
empolyed in the Atlantic trade were 220
feet long. Now they are 600, although
there is less room for passengers pro
portionately in the Campania than in the
old boats, owing to the demands of the
new machinery. Ship owners are the
worst people in the world to give opinions
in the financial aspect of the plan. They
do not wish to build larger boats because
they" wish to make as much money as
possible. That is not the point, however.
The needs of trans-Atlantic business will
decide the question. I .cannot tell the
details of our plan now.
“One of the new arrangements will
provide for a new landing stage opposite
the Waterloo, Trafalgar and Victoria
docks. This stage will be used for coast
wise and channel vessels, while the ex
isting stage will be left clear for the lines
which will come alongside ft and dis
charge their passengers. The deep water
docks at the north end are nearing com
pletion rapidly. The cost .of these docks
will be about £1,000,000.”
A PLEA FOR IRISH UNITY. '
Gladstone Urges the Leaders to Patch
Up Their Differences.
London, Jan. 7.—Thomas O’Connor,
representing the American organization
of the Friendly Sons of St. Patrick, pre
sented to Mr. Gladstone this evening an
album with an illuminated address, which
was prepared in March, 1894, on the oc
casion of Mr. Gladstone's retirement.
Mr. Gladstone declared his interest In
and the gentleman with him very hearti
ly. He looked ruddy and animated and
talked with much spirit. After inquiring
into the history of the society and its list
of members, Mr. Gladstone expressed his
gratitude for the compliments paid him in
the address.
Mr .Gladstone declared his interest in
Ireland and the Irish, whose cause, he
said, he should keep at heart to the end
of his life.
He regretted the divisions in the ranks
of Ireland’s leaders. The country’s
chances of obtaining her rights will never
be as bright as they ought to be until the
nationalists were united. Domestic dis
cord must necessarily cause a postpone
ment of any realization of their claims
for their one cause. Everybody in any
way a,ble to assist in the re-union of the
factions was bound to do so. Anybody
promoting discord undertook a terrible
responsibility which might mean untold
Injury to the cause of justice to Ireland.
He hoped strongly that some agency soon
would be found to unite the nationalist
groups. He trusted that Ireland’s many
and influential friends in America would
move vigorously for peace in the ranks
of the nationalist leaders. They should
appeal to the Irish members of the house
of commons to forget for Ireland’s wel
fare their present differences.
NORTH CAROLINA’S SENATORS.
Wire-Pulling in the Big Skirmish at
Raleigh Already Begun.
Raliegh, N. C., Jan. 7.—The wire-forking
for the senatorship has begun on the as
sembling of the legislature to meet here
Wednesday. The chief figures are Con
gressmen-elect Pearson and Settle, push
ing respectively Pritchard and Holton. Be
sides these the candidates are Messrs.
Ewart, Mott and Dockery, with Mr. Boyd,
of Greensboro, as a dark horse.
It is pretty generally conceded that Ma
rion Butler, the populist leader, will be
the long term senator and that for the
short term it is Pritchard against the
field.
There is much feeling growing as to joint
or separate caucuses, the old' time re
publicans holding out for separate cau
cuses, which Mr. Butler will fight. Upon
this discussion and its settlement hangs
probably, much friction and unlooked-for
happenings.

His Coming Fight With Fitzsimmons
i to Be His Last.
He Says He la Going Into This Fight
Because He Wants to Whip Lanky
Bob He Says He Would Not Take
946,000 in Cash to Call the Fight Off.
He Is Confident the Mill Will Be Held
at Jacksonville—He Thinks Peter
Jackson in His Prime Outclasses Fits
simmons.
Atlanta, Ga., Jan. 7.—Champion Jim
. Corbett will retire from the pugilistic
arena after his fight with "Lanky Bob”
Fitzsimmons. The champion made this
announcement to a crowd- of newspaper
1 men here to-day. He and his company
opened an engagement at the Grand to
night.
"The match has been made, the money
is up and the fight must and will come
off. I think that it will come off in Jack
sonville in September next. There is no
law in Florida to prevent it. Gov. Mitchell
used every means in his power to stop my
fight with Mitchell and was unsuccessful.
That proved conclusively that the fight
can be pulled off in Jacksonville. Besides,
the people of Florida, and Jacksonville
especially, are anxious for the fight to take
place in that city on account of the im
mense amount of money which those who
go to see it will spend.”
The champion expressed the opinion
that prize fighting would last as long as
the world lasts, and referred to the com
paratively few men who have been killed
in the prize ring.
“A champion has never yet been killed,”
he said. "Those who have been killed are
the victims of accident.”
Corbett was asked as to the relative posi
tions of Fitzsimmons and Jackson as
pugilists.
He replied: "In Jackson’s day he was
a better man than Fitzsimmons ever was
or ever will be, but I’think Jackson has
now played out and is now no good.”
When asked of his Intentions in the fu
ture Corbett said: "I shall retire from the
ring. After this fight with Fitzsimmons,
win or lose, I shall leave the ring. I am
only going into this fight because I want
to whip Fitzsimmons. We are going to
fight for $61,000, and I pledge you my word
I would not take $45,000 cash and call the
fight off. I am willing and anxious to
fight Fitzsimmons before anything or
anybody, or in any other country.”
Corbett declined to say how long he
thought his fight with Fitzsimmons would
last. "No one can tell how long a fight
will last. It depends upon the opportu
nities a man gets. I can’t tell what my
opponent will do when I go into a ring,
therefore I cannot tell what I will do,
nor how’ many rounds a fight will last."
Speaking of Sullivan’s escapade last
week in whipping his manager and dis
banding his company, the champion said:
"I am very sorry. John is a good fellow
when he is sober, and is his own worst
enemy.”
DIGGING OUT THE CORPSES.
The Bodies of Three of the Delavan
House Victims Unearthed.
Albany, N. Y., Jan. 7.—The bodies of two
victims of the Delaven house fire were un
earthed from the ruins this afternoon
late. They w’ere found in the debris in
the cellar, and were directly under the at
tic where the fifteen servants are sup
posed to have been trapped, on account of
the rapid spread of the flames.
One of the bodies was reduced to crum
bling bones and the other was a mass of
unrecognizable flesh and be ne. There was
nothing found near the bodies to serve as
a means of identification. The second
body found was not entirely unearthed on
account of the darkness but was left in
the debris to be taken out to-morrow. It
is supposed that the remains of all the
victims will be found near the place where
the two bodies were discovered to-day.

This road hauls all the coal to market

presided, and the vice-commodore, the
Marquis of Ormonde, acted as vice-chalr-
■ man. About forty members were present,
i After the meeting was called to order
Lord Dunraven addressed the meeting at
considerable length in advocacy of the
• acceptance of the custody of the Ameri-
• can cup in the event of Its being won by
, a.British yacht under the terms of the
deed of gift of 1887.
The Prince of Wales supported the posi
tion taken by Lord Duraven and it was
voted to accept the custody of the cup
under the stipulations of the deed of 1887.
The result was brought about by the
Influence of the 'Prince of Wales.
The royal yacht squadron to-day sent
the following cablegram to Commodore
James D. Smith, chairman of the cup com
mittee in New York: ‘‘Having regard to
the construction placed upon the deed of
gift of 1887 by the New York Yacht Club,
the royal yacht squadron is willing to give
a receipt on the terms contained in the
deed of gift.” Grant, Cowes.
It was then decided to appoint a special
committee, to be called the "America’s
cup committee,” and the following named
gentlemen were appointed thereon: The
Prince of Wales, the Marquis of Ormonde,
Sir Charles Hall, Sir Allen Young and
Justice Sir Gainsford Bruce.
Later another cablegram was sent to
Commodore Smith, as follows:
We cable you to-day the result of a spe
cial meeting of the royal yacht squadron
and conclude that the challenge is defin
itely settled. Grant.
The members attending the meeting in
cluded Lord Lonsdale, Lord Suffleld, Ad
miral Montague, Sir Henry Edwards,
Capt. Halford, Montague J. Guest, John
Wardlaw, W. R. Coopson, I. T. Clarke, L.
H. Montgomery, William James and R.
A. T. Brewster.
New York, Jan. 7.—When It was learned
in this city that the Royal Yacht Squadron
had accepted the conditions laid down
by the America’s cup committee, there
was jubilation in yachting circles, and
also among the large contingent of pa
triotic citizens who have an abiding
faith in the ability of the American yacht
to meet all comers.
The final acceptance of the terms re
moves the last obstacle in the way of an
international race. The main details,
which have been the subject of correspon
dence by letter and cable for two months
between Lord Dunraven and Secretary
Grant of the royal yacht squadron, and
the cup committee of the New York Yacht
Club, are now settled and the minor details
will be arranged after the arrival of Lord
Dunraven in this country.
Both sides have made concessions, the
most important being reduction of the ten
months’ notice clause to eight months by
the cup committee, in order to satisfy
Lord Dunraven’s demand for a race earlier
than October.
As the matter now stands Lord Dun
raven has the right to ask that the first
race be set for eight months from to-day,
or Sept. 7. But as that date comes on a
Saturday he will probably suggest either
Sept. 10 or 17 for the first race. Whatever
date is selected will be subject to post
ponement, in case the new Valkyrie does
not arrive in time to allow Lord Dun
raven three weeks to fit her for the con
test. Yachtsmen on this side of the water
prefer a date late in September or early
in October, as the time in which to lay
down, build, fit, and test the cup defend
formed, money subscribed, plans made
and many questions settled before the ac
tual work of construction is begun. Then
the trial races with other would-be cup
defenders takes considerable time, and
the later the date set for the final races '
the better pleased Is the yacht builder.

Becoming Desperate.
St. Johns, N. F., Jap. 7.—A mob of un- i
employed men proceeded to-day to the '
British cruiser Tormallne, now in port j (
here, and a deputation representing them | ’
interviewed the captain of the warship, j <
demanding bread or work, and asking < ’
if he would prevent their obtaining food I i
by force. In reply the captain prom- j j
ised them that he would write to Gov. ■ (
O’Brien and other executives about their '
representations. He then advised them i i
to disperse, telling them to return to- i l
morrow, when he would be prepared to ;
give them an answer. On learning what ]
the captain had said he mob dispersed. ,
If, however, work or food are not forth- i
coming to-morrow the consequences, it I
is apprehended, will be serious.
Gov. O’Brien this afternoon gave his
assent to ail the bills dealing with flnan- ,
cial questions which the colonial leg- I
islature has just passed.
The bill removing the disabilities of 1
politicians convicted of bribery has been j
reserved for the British imperial govern
ment's assent. i
