* ,
Mrs. Logan and Her Children Among
Those Present in the Gallery Mr.
Pullom Opens the Exercise*—Mr. Mor
gan Emphasises the Sincerity of the
Exercises— Mr. Hampton s Manly Sen
timents. •
Wahixgton, Feb. 9.—Every seat in
the Senatasgallery except those reserved
for the diplomatic corps, the family of the
President and ladies and the press, was
filled this morning when the Senate was
called to order. Mrs. Logan and'ber sen,
daughter and friends, to the number of
twenty-five, occupied seats in the private
gallery. The Chaplain, in his prayer, al
luded to the late Senator Logan, asking
that those who turned from the open
grave with sympathizing hearts might
ever be filled with the spirit ol Him who
was touched with the feeling of human
infirmities.
As soon as the journal was read Mr.
Cullom rose and offered a resolution that
as an additional mark of respect to the
memory of John A. Logan, long a Sena
tor Horn the State of Illinois, a distin
guished member ot this body, business be
now suspeuded in order that friends and
associates of the deceased may pay fitting
tribute to his publio and private services.
CULLOM’B TRIBUTE.
Mr. Cullom then proceeded to address
the Senate. He spoke of this being the
third time in the present Congress that
the Senate was called upon to eulogize a
deceased member of tne body. To-day
they met to lay the tribute ot tbeir love
on the tomb of Gen. Logan. Had he
lived until to-day, 61 years, eventful, glori
ous years,would have rested their burden
as a crown upon his head. After sketch
ing the principal events of Gen. Logan’s
life, Mr. Cullom spoke of his probity and.
poverty, and said that in the last Presi
aentia! campaign no ghost of dishonor in
his past bud risen up and stood in his
path. The eulogy closed with a quotation
ending:
“Rest, soldier, statesman! -Rest;
Thy troubled life is over.”
NOT AN UNMEANING CEREMONIAL.
Mr. Morgan spoke of the proceedings of
the day as “not an unmeaning ceremo
nial.” He did not think ot Gen. Logan as
of a force that had passed away, but as
living, moving energy, still uselirt in the
great purposes of divine economy, in all
that Gen. Logan did and said, he was a
truly sincere and resolutely upright man.
No guile, no evasion, no liuesse charac
terized him, but he was a bold, pro
nounced, dignified, earnest, manly, firm,
generous, true man.
WADE HAMPTON’S ESTIMATE.
Mr. Hampton said that none were more
milling to pay due tribute to the memory
of Gen. Logan than were those who hail
been his political opponents. Asa Demo
crat, Southern man and Confederate sol
dier, ho was called upon to speak ot Gen.
Logan as a Republican, honored by his
party, a Northern man who had given his
blood to prove the eincerity ot bis con
victions and as a Federal soldier w hose
lame was as widespread as it was fairly
achieved.
Eulogies upon the dead Senator were
lso pronounced by Senators Edmunds,
Mandersou, Allison, Hawley, Spooner,
ookreli, Evarts, Frye, Plumb. Sabin aud
i’almer. Mr. Ransom was prepared to
speak, but the proceedings had already
extended beyond tbe expected hour lor
tbeir termination, ami he therefore gave
way to Mr. Farwell, who, alter a few re
marks, moved the adoption of the resolu
tion offered by Mr. Cullom. The resolu
tion was adopted aud the Senate at 4
o’clock adjourned.

House Hi II on the Subject.

cratic members of the House Committee
•on Foreign Affairs had an interview with
the President to-day in connection with
tbe retaliatory fisheries legislation now

measure relating to the subject of the
fisheries which Congress might see fit to
pass, if there was to be any legislation
on the subject, he said, it should state
definitely whether railroads and all other
carriers were to bo included in the prohi
bition. While the President did not com
mit himself to any legislation on the sub
ject the gentlemen present gathered from
his remarks that as between tne two trills
he favored the House bill, for the reason
that it is more explicit and mandatory hi

fore and inquired if he had done anything
wrong. He left the house and on his

the newspapers. On reading these ac
counts he immediately left the city and
alleged that he knew nothing more until
he found himself in New Brunswick. A
few days iater he returned and gave him
self up to the police. On his trial the de
fense admitted the facts charged, hut
claimed that they were due to a sudden
fit of unconsciousness, tfie result of
hereditary insanity, and accounted for

chased for a weak ankle with which West

conference of leading officers of the Penn
sylvania Railroad Company who are con
nected with Its freight business through
out Its entire system, to discuss the inter
state commerce bill, it was the unani
mous verdict that the measure was ex
ceptionally favorable to that company,and
would benefit rather than injure Us busi
ness. President Roberts notified the
officials that it was the intention of the
company to live up to the spirit and ietter
of tbe law as it now reads, though the
construction of some of its clauses by

pointment of Senator Conger as one of the

constitution forbade bis appointment at

the petition. Messrs. Edmunds and In
galls declined to sign it on the ground
that they had no favors to ask of the ad
ministration.
SHORT BUT RICH.
A Court Clerk Says His Accounts
are Wrong but He Will Settle.
Boston, Feb. 9.—A statement was pub
lished this morning that John C. Leigh
ton, for nineteen years Clerk of the Muni
cipal Criminal Court in this oitv, is short
in his accounts to a large amount, but
the exact sum could not be known until
the expert now engaged 011 tbe books
completes his labors. City Auditor
Dodge was credited with the assertion
that the total will be perhaps $200,000 or
more. Later In the day Auditor Dodge
repudiated thejstatements attributed to
him, and said Mr. Leighton’s accounts
would not under any circum
stances oome under hie super
vision. He said the investigation
now in progress was being made under
tbe direction of the Judges ot the court.
Mr. Leighton is a man of means. He re
cently resigned, and informed the Judges
that his books would show that they are
not correct, but that it was attributable
to unintentional errors on bis part, ami
he was ready to make the deficiency good
when the amount was ascertained. An
expert was then put to work on the
books, but the business is of a character
that makes it difficult to investigate.
Judge Forsaitb, one of the Judges of the
court, to-day assured a reporter that the
discrepancy was comparatively small,
and that Mr. Leighton could straighten it
without drawing heavily on his purse.
Tbe Judge laughed at the idea of tbe
amount reaching $200,000.

An Accurate Statement of the Pas
senger List oi'the 111-Fated Train.
White River Junction, Vt., Feb. 9.
—A most careful revision, the acouraoy
ot wnich is indisputable, shows the fol
lowing estimate of the number of persons
on tbe wrecked train, and how aocounted
lor up to 10 o’clock this morning, which
makes the number of killed thirty-two.
There were brought to Windsor, on the
Connecticut river road, thirty people; to
White River Junction, on the Boston and
Lowell road, 37: tukeu on at White River
Junction, 6; train men, 12. Total on the
train, 85, accounted for as tollows: in
jured, per surgeons’ official list, 36; dead
Dodies recovered to Sunday (surgeons’
count), 27; found Sunday, 5; known to
have gone North on trains, 12; known to
have returned home, 6; total, 85. These
figures may be chauged by the probable
presence of children without tickets on
the train, who have not yet been heard

six more on the train.
White River Junction, Vt., Feb. 9,
11 r. M. —The previous computations ol
the total number of passengers on the
wrecked train is to-nignt increased by
six, making ninety-one known to have
been there. This increase is the result of
evidence introduced before the commis
sioners, showing that there were thirty
six persons on tbe Connecticut river
train who wore transferred to theCeutral
Vermont instead of thirty as at
first stated by the conductor.
His present statement is verified
by tbe tioket office reports. This leaves
six passengers still unaccounted for and
for whom there is room in tbe flexibility
of the surgeons’ estimate of the charred
bodies made on Sunday. The total num
ber of identified dead up to this eveaing is
seventeen, the list having been increased
by one to-day through the identification
of the remains of Harry Brooks, of Bos
ton, whose body is to-night being taken
to Cornwall, Can., by relatives.

ing has recently fallen. Shortly alter the

ceiling cross-beams appeared to be set
tling, and one member declared that the
gallery had settled four inches.

that spectators be excluded, where
upon the galleries and aisles were
cleared. It is the opinion of many that a
frightful disaster was narrowly averted
by the prompt action of Chairman Don
nelly. Subsequently a resolution was
passed tor an immediate examination of
the building by experts. The building
was erected in 1880. It was examined
and repaired last winter. It is said tne
timbers are affected with dry rot.

Cp Another Hobgoblin of War.

that Gen. Boulanger, the French Minister
of War, is preparing for a movement of
troops to the eastern frontier. Four bat
talions of infantry are to go to Verdun

CHURCH DICTATION.
The Roman Catholic Bishop of Lelm
burg, in Hesse-Nassau, Prussia, has for
bidden the clergy of his diocese to take
part in any agitation against tho septen
uate bill. He declares that in view of
the recent note of Cardinal Jaoohtni giv
ing expression to the Pope’s wish that
the Catholics of Germany help tbe posi
tion of the Papacy by assisting Prince
Bismarck to carry his bill and
thus secure his friendship and
influence, the newly elected member
of the Centre party in the Reichstag for
Lcimburg must not be Impeded by aritt
eleotion pledges from complying with
the wishes of the Vatican. It is believed
that all the other German-Catholic Kish
ops will pursue a course similar to that
of the Bishop of Leimburg.
CARDINAL JACOBINI’B LETTER.
The Munich Allgeinuine Zeitung pub
lishes Cardinal Jacoblni’s letter to tbe
Nunoio at Munich, it is dated Jan. 3.
The Cardinal says that in view ol the
impending revision 01 the church laws,
tue Pope desires tbe Centre to support
tbe septennate bill in every possible way,
and concludes: “It is well known that
the government attaches tbe greatest
importance to the passage of the bill,
if by its adoption ltr should be
found possible to aven; the dan
ger of war in tbe near luture, the
Centre would render groat service to the
fatherland and to the cause of humanity
in Europe by supporting the bill, in a
contrary case the hostile attitude of the
Centre would be considered unpatriotic,
and tue dissolution of the Reichstag
would cause embarrassments aud uncer
tainties to the Centre party.”
Cardinal Jacobini instructs the nuncio
to urge tbe leaders of the Centre to in
fluence their colleagues in lavor of the
septennate and assure them that such a
course would greatly satisfy the Holy
Father.
ALL TURNING TO BOULANGER.
Toe Berlin Post’s Paris correspondent
writes: “A deceptive calm followed your
recent article referring to den. Boulan
ger, but be is now more powerful than
ever. Even his former opponents are
turning toward him as the rising sun,
finding it impossible to struggle agafnst
the growing popularity of the man who
is regarded ny the masses as the
long-expected liberator. The whole
country is anxious for reveuge, and is
arming silently, but with the evident be
lief that the hour is ooming.” The Post
adds an extract from the Paris Figaro,
an article signed by Aurelien Scholl, Im
puting the grossest immorality to Ger
man women. This will raise a storm of
indignant protest In Germany.

RESULTS IN NEW YORK.
8211,180 Lost In Wages In the Twi
Strikes Up to Date—Many of thiYMen
Strangling Back to Work—A llt^s
Increase In the Number of Work tar a
on the Market.
New York, Feb. 9.—Except for the,
number of longshoremen standing idle
on til*corners, the streets along the river
front have assumed almost their normal
appearance, though it requires a larger
number of men to do the work now than
formerly. The steamboat and railroad
pier managers all claim that business is
as good sfls before the strike, and thaf
freight is being moved with the utmost!
facility. Steamers are now leaving as
the advertised time and the iam of
on the railroad piers no l^pTexlsts.
BOTH STRIKES KL .CUES.
The Commercial Advertiser of till*
morning eays regarding the big strike!
“The strike of the railroad freight band*
lers in this city was a week Old last night.
Tne longshoremen quit work on Jang
27. both strikes are now acKMUcd iv< q
by their projectors to be failures. They*
have not helped the cause of the coa|
handlers nor brought about any Increase
ot pay. They have not even seriously
interfered with the business of the com
panies against which the movement was
directed. There never was a great labo*
movement in New York city which failed!
so miserably as these strikes.
INCREASED LABOR COMPETITION.
At present there are 8,714 freight
handlers aDd longshoremen idle in New
York city as a result of the strike. Two
weeks ago these men had steady employj
ment at good wages. Most of tbesa
laborers will never regain the places tfceji
left at the command of the Knights of
Labor. Probably half of the men wha
have taken strikers’ places have bee*
brought from other cities. Now that they*
have secured good and steady employ
ment they will stay. The strikers have*
therefore, succeeded in adding 3,000 pood
to the laborers of New York, and hava
thus decreased their own chances for get.
ting employment hereafter. Besides th*
wages they have lost and the suffering
they have brought on themselves and
their families, these are the only tangible!
’results the strikers have gained.
LOSSES IN WAGES,
The loss in wages to date is an item a
great dual larger than most
imagine. There are 1.014 freight handlers
on the East and North rivers who have,
with to-day, lost seven days work on ac
count of the strike. Their average wages
wlion a work are $1 66 a day. They hava
lokt, therefore, SIB,IBO siuce they have
been idle. There are 7,200 longshoremen
along the North aud East rivers who will
have been idle on account of the strike*
two weeks to-morrow. Probably thev
averaged $2 60 a day for the most part at
this season ol tbe year. On this basis o|
calculation the eleven days the long*
shoremen have been idle have cost them 1 .
$198,000, or a total cost on the tw<*
strikes of $211,186 thus far in the watted
ot wages.
RETURNING TO WORK.
A great many strikers are straggling
back to work, applying at places when#
they are not Known. In raauy cases
where they applied to be taken back in
their places they were refused employs
ment and in other cases thev were wel
comed. The longshoremen
Ciftian steamship docks retuf
to-aay on the old terms, thq
strikers admitted that there were too
many men in the business for the unions
to oombat tbe companies successlully. If
seems to be a clearer case of defeat of th*
freight handlers and longshoremen tbaq
of the coal handlers, whose cause thd
former two classes of labor espoused.
There are mutterings of a threatened
general strike on tho Reading railroad ini
support of the coal handlers, * notwiths
standing tbe published statements that
an amicable agreement had been reached
between representatives or the comß
pany and the different classes of
employed by It. If this strike occurs i(
will be u serious one for the roacMaL
though it is not likely to help the striker*
on tbe other lines.
A statement was published to-day that
the strikes in the coal carrying trade bavai
diminished by 860,000 tuns tbe amount ot
coal that would otherwise have reached!
points of ultimate delivery up to date.

hundred surface men returned to wore

trouble only concerns tbe undejsMound
men. The company remains liij“ud ta
waiting for developments. It i* feared
that the strike at Champion will causa
similar disturbances throughout tbe
trlct. Many of the largest mines are deg
termmed to shut down if the trouble bc<
comes serious. It is said that the strika

Two Uoucln Now Tied Up.
Boston, Feb. 9.—The emplovffs of tha
Cambridge horse railway decided this

them to do their ten hours work inside u!
twelve hours as promised by the com
pany. The officers of tbe company wIH
make no further attempts at reeoneil as
tion, but will fight the strikers to the end.
This strike, with that on the South Bostoq
road, makes tbe number of railroadjnea
now out about 900.
