KADICALS ALL AT SEA.
THEIR CAUCUS AGREEMENT AL
READY REPCDIATED.
The Finance Bill Will Never Get Out of
the Committee Room Unless a New
Agreement is Reaclied-No Senator
Willing to Father the Odium of Pass
ing the Force Bill Under a Cloture
Buie.
Washington, Dec. 18.—Republics a cau
cus '‘agreements’’ do not last overnight
nowadays. The agreement given out as
the result of tbo caucus last night is practi
cally repudiated by the republican senators
to-day. Instead of an agreement to pass a
specified financial bill, and then to pass tne
force bill under a cloture, the conclusions
of the caucus seem to have been as tenta
tive and unsatisfactory as the conclusions
of any of its predecessors. Jx any of the
financial compromise bill, eaid to have been
agreed upon l&st night, ever gets reported
from the finance committee, to which it
was committed to-day, it will be in con
sequence of anew agreement, the founda
tions of which are yet to be laid. If the
force bill is passed, and, more than all, if a
cloture rule is adopted, it will be in each
case because anew under standing has been
reached.
MISTAKE OF THE MANAGERS.
Apparentlythe managers of the caucus mis
understood the opposition last night, judg
ing from the report they gave to*the Asso
ciated Press. Having the majority of the
caucus, as they had had in every caucus,
they carried their propositions through and
then assumed that the opposition, being in
the minority, were bound to support them.
The members of the opposition do not so
understand it. They hold themselves free,
first, to vote for free coinage, if any sena
tor, democrat or republican, proposes it as
an amendment to the caucus financial bill;
second, to vote against the force bill; and
third, to.vote against a cloture rule.
MUST HAVE A REED.
Besides, they point out that as to the
latter nothing can be done until a senator
is found willing to play the role of Hoed
and foroe the new rule through by main
strength. So far no senator has offored
himself as a substitutule f.rthe unwilling
vice president. Senator Ingalls, on whom
the choice of the cloture tnou fell, will get
out of it by going to Kamas. Senator
Hale of Maine is mentioned, but is not ex
pected to go back on Secretary Blaine, hi3
political creator, in this way. Ia t e ab
sence cf a czar the cloture rule would be a
conveniently debata; Is measure with which
to fend off a vote on the force bill, and so
defeat its own purpose.
WILD HAVE TO WAIT.
"To all this the caucus macngers say that
if this is the state of affairs they will have
to sit down and wuit for something more
like unanimity. Senator Aldrich has an
nounced that he will bring in no financial
bill until he is assured that ell the republi
can senators will vote to pass it in its in
tegrity without free coinage amendments.
Nor will be bring in a cloture rule unless
he has reason to believe that it will be sup
ported by all the republicans. As for Sen
ator Hoar, he recognizes the fact that with
out cloture his force bill cannot pass.
DANGER OF A CRISIS.
Ihe obvious danger of the caucus man
agers is that the silver republicans, after
waiting a few days for the republican man
agers to bring out the financial bill, may
Bpringa free coinage bill ou tie Senate. It
would, of com se, pass. To prevent this the
managers were telling the malcontents in
the constant conferences which anxiety
prompted to-day that Speaker Reed would
rever let a free coinage bill get before the
House, so that they must take the compro
mise bill or nothing. The silver senators
are not so sure of this, relying as
they do ou popular pressure. They
have seeu reciprocity forced upon an un
willing House of repi esentatives
despite Speaker Reed’s utmost endeavor,
and they do not tee why free coinage may
hot be. At all events, knowing that they
are masters of the situation, and that they
wil. get a great deal even if a compromise bill
* s P a ®-* e< l *n the end, they are willing to take
the chances. The caucus managers labored
hard all day on the floor and i a the cloak
moms to get some agreement that would
hold, using the necessities of the financial
situation as their chief argument, but up to
he: our of adjournment they had not suc
eeedtd.
ALDRICH DISCOURAGED.
Senator Aldrich, who is the leader of the
republican majority in the attempt to get
I mis 8 ‘'nauciai legislation, is discouraged
uoaer the disappointments of to-day. He
is quoted as saying to-night: “In view of
, s<j me republican senators have said

CULLOM ACCEPTS THE BILL.
Mr. Cullom addressed the Senate. He
confessed some disappointment that the
committee ou privileges and elections had
deemed it necessary to report a bill of such
great length. lie had hoped that the pres
ent supervisor law might be amended with
out great difficulty, and without adding
very many new sections to it But, as the
committee had given the subject long and
pitient study, he accented the bill
as the best that could be framed to
meet tbeovils complained of; with the under
standing that he should favor such amend
ments as might be offered and might meet
his approbation. There was no virtue, he
argued, in the argument of the democratic
senators that tue general government had
no right under the oonntituUon to control
and manage the eleotioa of repreecntaLves
to congress in the states.
RtGHTS OF THE GOVERNMENT.
Common sense and the constitution cf the
United States both declared t at the gen
eral government bad that right; aud the
duty \ias imposed upon i, by the constitu
tion and by the results of the war to pro
tect the negro of the south in his right to
cast a free ball it and to have a lair eoimt;
iu his right to exercise (without fear of vio
lence and undeterred by threats cf
any kind) all the political rights ot
American citizens. The l’reedman’s re
publicanism was, Mr. Cttlloin said,
the reason why in the thoughts of the
southern democrats he should lose his suf
frage. The Ulna was at hand when the
authority of the government must be inter
posed iu behalf of the negroes at the south.
RIGHTS OF NEGRO VOTERS.
The state authorities would hare to be
compelled to respect the rights of the negro
voters. That compulsion would have to be
applied under legal authority. Congress
would have to enact laws under which all
elections for representatives iu congress
should be conduoted. The government
would hnve to assume oontroi in the man
agement of all such elections, and to pro
vide means for the protection of its election
officers while in the discharge of
their duties. All the talk which the Sen
ate had heard about the character of the
surpervisors and deputy marshals had no
bearing on the question. It was the duty
of the government to see to it that honest
men were appointed to those positions. He
know full well that the passage of the bill
would give to the lawless elements at the
south an excuse for mob violence and re
bellion against the national authority, but
he was sure that such results (hinted at
rather thnu expressed) would not prevent
tlie bill tieiug enacted into a law and being
approved.
bate’s opposition.
Mr. Bate, as a lover of individual liberty,
rpposed the oi 11. He opposed it because he
believed it to strike at the freedom of the
ballot, and tended to breed disturbance and
to destroy the quiet of society.
It was n usurper of the riguts of the states
and of men. It was a promoter
of central power in the federal
government, at the oxpeaso of the
rights of the stales, if not of their auton
omy. It wai sectional, and struck at the
south. He believed it to be the most prom
inent of the many finger-boards ou the
p ilitical highway that pointed to em
pire. Such lugislotioa in a republican gov
ernment was at all times dangerous and
vicio s, and was especially so at the pres
ent time.
TO HARRASS THE PEOPLE.
If he might emvloy the language of the
Declaration cf Independence egainst the
Briti-h king, be would sav of the bill that it
proposed to “ereot a multitude of new
offices, and to send a swarm < f officers to
harass the people.” Its enactment would
establish a system of espionage against
which the sanctity of the home would afford
no protection.
At 4:20 o’clock, at the suggestion of Mr.
Oormai that Mr. Bate would prefer not to
fi iish his speech this evening, the election
bill was laid aside informally, and several
bills were taken up and passed. Among
them were the house bills for public build
ings at Roi e, (ia. (#50,000), and Reidaville,
N. C. (#25,000).
After a 6hort executive session the Senate
adjourned.
TREATIES AND THE TARIFF.
Senator Sherman Calls Up the Bill on
the Subject.
Washington, Dec. 18.—Immediately
after the approval of the journal this morn
ing the Senate, on motion of Mr. Hale,
went into a secret session, which lasted but
a few moments.
Mr. Sherman called up the bill providing
that the tariff act shall not be held to im
pede or impair the force of treaties between
the United States and other countries.
Mr. Gorman said he would object to con
sideration of the measure for the present.
The tariff bill had Lesn passed hastily, and
this proposition to continue its provisions
should bo fully discussed.
Mr. Morgan regretted that the gentleman
should make any objection, as by its hasty
passage the tariff bill was inflicting in
ju tice onHawuiL He desired to encourage
still mors intimate relations with Hawaii,
and be thought that the bill should be passed
without delay.
Mr. Harris was unwilling that the matter
should proceed in Ihu absence of Mr. Black
burn, who. as one of the conferees ou the
tariff bill, had called special attention to
the fact that it would abrogate the Ha
waiian treaty. Mr. Sherman said that
while be feit sure that Mr. Blackburn would
favor the bill he would not press it in his
absence. The bill, therefore, went to the
calendar.

SPARRING IN THE HOUSE.
FARQUHAR TRIES TO GET UP THE
SUBSIDY BILL.
Messrs. Springer and Blount Question
His Authority to Make the Motion.
The Speaker Rule* Against His
Party-Later On He Admits That He
Made a Mistake.
NV arhixoton, Dec. IS. —In the morning
hour in the House to-day the nendiug
measure was the Senate bill amending the
interstate commerce act by providing tor
the taking of depositions by notaries public.
It passed.
A bill was passed for the construction of
a bridge across the Duck rirer by the
county of Humphrejs, Tumi.
The morning hour expired and Mr. Far
quhar of New York, as chairman of the
committee on the merchant marine and
fisheries, moved that the House go iuto com
mittee of th 9 whole for the consideration of
the tSena.e bill to place the American
marine, engaeed in tbo foreign trade, on an
equality with that of other nations, with
the House substitute therefor.
FARQUHAR HEADED OFF.
A contention, started by Messrs. Springer
aud Blouut, arose as to whether Mr.
Farqubar had the authority of his commit
tee to make this motion.
The speaker ruled against Mr. Farqubar.
The latter moved then that the House go
into committee of the whole on the state of
the union. The motion was agreed to.
Mr. Farquhar then moved that the House
proceed to consideration of the Senate bill
to place the Amoriosn merchant marine on
au equality with that of other nations.
Mr. Springer made the point of order
that the motion was not in ardor, but that
the oommittee must proceed to considera
tion of the appropriation bills.
THE SPEAKER’S RULING.
The chairman ruled that the motion was
in order, lor the reason that the rules gave
the committee authority to decide what
messure it would lake up.
Mr. Springer took au uppeal from the de
cision, but the speaker was sustained by a
vote of 8(5 to 28.
Mr. Wheeler of Alabama thou moved
that the committee proceed to cousideratiou
of the army appropriation bill. Amid a
good deal of confusion and despite protests
from his party colleagues, the chair held
that the motion was in order and had prece
dence over that made by Mr. Farquhar.
Mr. Wheeler’s motion w*s lost by a vote
of 88 to 90.
Mr. Wheeler then moved that the com
mittee rise.
Tbo vote was lost, after much time had
been lost Dy the intentional tardiness of the
democrats in pas-ing through the tellers, by
a vote of 7(5 to 02.
WHEBLKR’B next move.
Mr. Wheeler’s next move was a motion
to take up the District of Columbia appro
priation bill.
The chair declined to entertain this
motion. He thought that ho had made au
error in deciding some time previously that
any member could call up an appropriation
bill. After an examination of the rules
and precedents, he was of the opinion that
no gentleman who was not tho chairman
nor a member of the committee having an
appropriation bill in charge could call up a
measure ia committee of the whole.
WHY HE ISN’T A CHAIRMAN.
Mr. Wheeler accounted for the fact that
he was not a chairman by stating that he
was a democrat. He further appealed from
the decision of the chair, an appeal which
the chair refused to entertain. This de
cision of the chair gave rise to much con
fusion, entirely good uaturod in its charac
ter.
Mr. Farquhar’s motion was then agreed
to by a vote of 111 to 85.
Mr. Farquhar then took ihe floor to argue
in favor of the bid, and occupied the re
mainder of the afternoon session. When
tho committee rose tho House adjourned.
FIXING UP THE FINANCES.
Senator Sherman Reports tho Caucus
Bill.
Washington, Dec. IS.—Senator Sher
man reported to the Senato from the
finance committee this morning tho finan
cial bill agreed upon by the republican
caucus last night, and it was recommitted
to tho finance committee. The only change
of consequence made ia the measure last,
night was a limitation to banks having
a capital of not more than $50,000
of the operation of the provision reducing
to SI,OOO tho compulsory requirement of
deposits of bonds with the treasury. The
measure contains a requirement upon the
Secretary of the Treasury to issue treasury
notes to the amount of $lO,-
000,000, based upon abraded and
uncurrent subsidiary silver coin
now in the treasury. It also contains
Senator Allison's proposition for an inter
national arrangement to secure uniformity
in ratio in silver eoitiago, with a provision
for the appointment of three commissioners
to represent the United States, aud au ap
propriation for their salaries and expenses.
It is generally understood that the pur
pose of Seaator Sherman in having the bill
recommitted to the finance commlttu was
to retain oontroi of the measure in that
committee and prevent the possibility of a
motion being made i rein a u rely iu tho
Senate to consider and amo id tho bill.
• The finance committee will meet to
morrow to consider the bill and go through
tho formalities necessary to secure consid
eration for it by the Senate.

SNOW BOUND STATES.
A Train Runs Into a Drift ln Virginia
and is Wrecked.
Harrisonburg, Va., Dec. 18.—The
heaviest snowstorm since the year 1857 pre
vailed here Tuesday and Wednesday. The
weather was very cold, and the wind blew
a perfect hurricane. Buildings in coarse of
erection were blown down, while roofs and
sheds were mashed in by the weight of tho
snow. The snow is very wet and
heavy, and about twenty-two inches
deep on a level, aud it has drifted iu some
places from eight to ten feet deep. In the
mountains west of here the snow is said to
be drifted to a depth of twenty to thirty
feet.
SNOW WRECKS A TRAIN.
A wreck occurred ou the Vallov branch
of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad, about
two miles north of this plaoe, yesterday
evening. A south-bound train, due here at
5:30 o’clock, drawn by three engines, ran
into u snow drift and was derailed. Two
engines were thrown from the track and
demolished, while the third was
thrown across the track. Hix per
sons, all railroad employes, were injured.
The passengers escaped with a slight shaking
up. T.,0 names of the injured are: W. W.
Kronk, conductor, badly scalded; Jenkins
and Y'Utug, engineers, badly scalded, and
Donovan, engineer, scalded and hip broken.
Two firemen were also scalded. It is thought
that none of the injuries will prove faial.
The track was coni'up bad y and tho loss to
the railroad company will probably reach
#30,0011.
WHEELING ALL IN WHITS.
Wheeling, W. Va., Dec. 18.—The most
terrific snowstorm for six years has been
raging for twenty-four hours and a large
amount of damage has resulted. All tele
graphic communication was cut off all day
yesterday. The city telephone, telegraph
and firo alarm systems are eorapletoiy
wrecked, and railway traffic has been ter
ribly delayed. The loss is large. Street
cars are not running aud back lines are tak
ing their place. But little business has
been done. There are lively apprehension*
of a flood in the city. There is a vast
amount of snow about the headwaters.
A PRIVATE BANK FAILS.
The Preaident and His Cashier to Be
Arrested.
Chicago, 111., Dec. 18.—S. A. Koan,
doing a banking business under the name of
S. A. Kean &Cos., made an assignment in
the county court this morning ti Benjamin
F. Jacobs.
On complaint of W. W. Royce, who de
posited money iu tho bauk o i Dec. 5 aud
Dec. 17, warrants were issued this after
noon for the arrest of Mr. Kean and bis
cashier, George B. AVarne, for receiving
money when the bank was kuown to
be insolvent. Arrangements are being
made to reorganize the concern as a
nati-inal bank, it, is learned that the de
posits amount to about #450.000. The mod
of tho depositors are well-to-do peonle, who
will not suffer severely through their losses.
Very few poor people did business with the
bank.
THE ASSETTt*.
According to replies made by Assignee
Jacobs during the investigation, the assets,
exclusive of Mr. Kean’s personal estate,
would aggregate, approximately, $1,853,000,
and the liabilities #1,400,000. The assets
consist of laud scrip and notes, #37,000;
stock of the Home Security Vault (Jum
piuy (oar value), #37,500; other sticks,
#10,000; municipal warrants, $2,000; bank
furniture and fixtures, $10,000; cash oil
hand, #57,000; bills receivable (actual value)
$200,000; bonds deposited as security for
loans from the bans, #1,000,000.
The liabilities are $500,(100 due depositors
and $900,000 money due banks on bends de
posited for loans.
The investigation disclosed that not only
the AVoman’s. Christian Temperance Union
Building Association, but nearly all of the
numerous organizations that cluster around
the big temperance union, were depositors
in tho bank. Altogether the temperance
organizations have, it is estimated, from
$30,000 upward which they would like to
see well out of the wreckage.
MOLASSES IN TANK STEAMERS.
An Imcortant Innovation in the Cu
ban Carrying Trade.
New York, Dec. 18.—The British tank
stoaiaer Circas3ian{Prince and the German
steamer Pollux have bee i chartered on the
maritime exchange by John Ward & Cos.,
to carry molasses in bulk from Cuba
to the United States at 14 pnilhngs
per ton. This is a radical de
parture from the methods heretofore
pursued in this branch of the carrying trade.
It is regarded with vaned feelings by ma
rine interests. Tho owners of sailing ves
sels are in very bad humor, os this virtually
means that the steamships rob them of
another trade. As ail freight rates are very
low, the blow is made the more severe.
A BIG SAVING,
The charter rate is extremely low, os ac
cording to ship brokers it will result in a
saving to the cargo owner of at least 50 per
cent. There will be no expense for cooperage,
and dunnage and stevedores’ fees will bo
done way with, along with a
host of incidental expenses. Both
of the above steamers have bean
engaged in the petroleum carrying trade.
It was thought at first that the oily smell
of the tanks would provent them from car
rying molasses or other cargoes, but by
scraping and fumigation this retarding feat
ure, it is arid, has boon overcome.

Mr. Davitt make the same claim for their
leader.
Mr. Parnell started for the village of
Goresbridge to-day, despite tho protest of
his doctors. Tho physicians warned hint
that he ran the risk of increasing the inflam
mation of his eyes, which, they said, might
result in the loss of bis right eye. Mr. Par
uell drove for twelve miles with his eyes
bat daged, aud with a shawl wrapped about
his head and shoulders to protect him from
the bitter cold. He was accompanied by
MonsrA Scully, John Redmond, O’Kellv
aud Nolan. A crowd of many
hundreds of persons, headed by a band of
music, met the l’aruellites as they were en
tering Gore,bridge. Mr. Redmond opened
the speech-making. He uppealed to the
voters to show the world that they could
conduct an eloetiou without descending to
disgraceful scones. Ho said it was tho hu
miliation of Ireland to find those of her
men participating iu an election, at a crisis
in her national life, resorting to obscene
scurrility that would disgraoo the lowest
drugs of the city slums. [Cries of “Healy,”
“Tauner.”]
THE LIME THROWERS.
An as-assiu had been found to throw
quicklime into eyes of a defenseless man,
whose name, whatever his shortcomings
uiight tie, would iivo iu history as that of
the greatest Irishman siuoe tho days of
Hugo O’Neill. [Cr.es of “Nhame!”J A\ T as
there a mau amongst them who, seeing Mr.
Par.-ieh led, maimed l efore them, who did
not feel the blood coursing hotly through
his veius? The speaker then shouted:
“VV'o’ro ready to resent the dastardly, mur
derous outrage.” [Cheers.] He then said
that those responsible for tho deed \vere not
merely the actual throwers of lime, but
also tiio men who hurled every insult low
thoughts could deviso at the head of Mr.
Parnell.
PARNELL ADDRESSES THE CROWD.
Amidst continuous cheering, Mr. Parnell
was then assisted toward the front of his
wagonette and addressed the people. He
referred to the unlit, in the Irish party as
due to English dictation. Throughout the
address, however, he genorally expressed
himself in the terms he had used lu his
previous speeches.
A meeting of McCarthy ltes was held at
Johnston, at which Mr. Healy made an ad
dress. At the same time und place the
Pan eliltes had a meeting. Among the
speakers was Edward Hurrington.
Mr. Hounessy, the candidate of the Me-
Carthyifces, addressed a meeting at Urling
foixl to-day.
UPROAR AT KILKENNY.
At a meeting of tho corporation of Kil
kenny to-duy some members introduced,
end attempts i to pass, a resolution declar
ing m favor of John Pope Hennessy, tue
parliamentary candidate of the Mol larthy
ltes. The Parnell men objected to this
proceeding, aud the meeting was soon in an
uproar.
Soma of tho Parnolltte members chal
lenged their opponents to light. Finally the
mayor, who is a McCarthyite, and other
supporters of llennes?y, withdrew from the
meeting. The Pai nellltes thereupon
elected a chairman and passed a resolution
expressing confidence in their leader.
The Untied Ireland says that when the
offices of the paper were taken possession of
by Mr. Darnell he discharged no member of
the staff except Mr. Roikin, tue acting
editor, if a few members of the stuff
stayed away Mr. Parnell cannot be blamed
for filling their places with other men.
A LIVELY EDITORIAL.
In an article on the political situation,
the United Ireland says that the result of the
coining parliamentary election in Kilkenny
touches It eland’s existence as a nation.
The maintenance of the central idea of
nationhood depends upon freedom from alien
dictation. Men of spirit and judgment should
have instantly repudiated Mr. Gladstone’s
pretension, but the dissident Irish loaders,
with a solitary exception, were not
honest followers of Mr. Parnell, and
were not strong in rnind or
heart. The plot to degrade Mr. Parnell,
tho paper says, Lad been hatching for yea n,
and the conspirators only awaited a chance
to put their scheme into effect. Personal
hatred, vanity, envy or ambition moved
many of the plotters, while others wore
actuated by baser motives, llealy s putrid
scurrility, Tanner’s debauched ruffianism
and Davitt’s rancorous jealousy, miserable
pettiness and sinister viciousness are signifi
cant.
The chapter of the Catholic diocese of
Dublin has adopted a resolution urging tho
ecclesiastical authorities to abstain from
taking action in the Parnell matter, the
Catholic laity being divided on the subject.
PARNELL SPEAKS AT OOWRAN.
At the conclusion of the meeting at
Goresbridge Mr. Parnoll and his party
proceeded to the town of Gowrsn. They
were well received at this plaoe, and Mr,
Parnell spoke briefly from a window to a
large crowd, which had gathered in front of
the house where he was stopping.
Mr. Davitt nas issued a manifesto entitled
“Facts for Voters,” and the Parnellito
party have sent out a counter-manifesto,
summing up the arguments for their side.
Tne Healyites hell a successful mooting
at Urlingford to-day. Messrs. Heal y and
Davitt were tho principal speakers.

A CHARGE AGAINST SCULLY.

DAVITT’a PAPER ON PARNELL.
London, D0c.. 13.— The Labor World (Mr.
Davitt’- paper), in tho course of an article
on the Irtsa situation, says: “ Every hope
founded on Mr. Parnell's supposed h ut r,
patriotism, aud political honesty has been
dashed to tho ground. Ho has more
than justified all his worst foes
have ever said about him. His
tactics in lrolaud are the crowuing dis
grace of his career. False to his friends,
inise to his couuiry, ho stands revealelos
the m st unscrupulous tyrant that ever rode
rough-shod over the liores and sentiments
of a nation. Let the end be what it may,
Mr. Parnell will bo forevermore impossible
as leader of a united Irish people.”
