HOLMAN WINS HIS FIGHT.
THE HOOSE RECORDS ITSELF AB
AGAINST SUESIDIES.
The Resolution Adopted by a Vote of
229 Yeas to 49 Nays—A Resolution
In Favor of Close Appropriations
Also Adopted—Two Bills to Increase
the Free List Introduced.
Washington, Jan. 15.—The Ifoilowing
bills were introduced and referred in the
House to-day:
By Mr. Newberry of Illinois —To test the
method of spelling schools and appropriat
ing SIOO,OOO to establish a spelling school at
the world's fair.
By Mr. Lane of Illinois —Placing salt,
lumber, nails, cotton ties, binding twine
and agricultural implements ou the free
list.
By Mr. Snodgrass of Tennessee—To place
salt on the free list.
By Mr. Smith of Arizona—For the ad
mission of Arizona as a state.
By Mr. Taylor of Tennessee—For public
buildings at Bristol and Morristown, Tenn.
On motion of Mr. Meredith of Virginia,
Feb. 6 was set apart for the deli very of eulo
gies on the lato Representative Lee of Vir
ginia.
The House then resumed consideration of
the unfinished business, being the motion to
reconsider the vote by which the previous
question was ordered on the subsidy and
economy resolution offered by Mr. Holman.
Mr. Holman withdrew the motion. He
bad, he said, come to the conclusion that
the second resolution was broad enough to
cover any and all proper and legal appro
priations. It would include all such legisla
tion as private pension bills and the like.
A FIGHT OVJSH SEPARATE VOTES.
Mr. Henderson of lowa inquired whether
a separate vote could be had on each reso
lution and on receiving an affirmative reply
demanded division on the question. This
demand, after consultation with Mr.
Dingley of Maine, he withdrew, but it was
Immediately related by Mr. Tracey of
New York, si the question was taken on
the first resolution which read as follows:
Resolved, That in the judgment of this House
the granting of subsidies or bounties by con
gress in money, public lands, bonds or by in
dorsement or by pledge of the publio credit to
promote special private industries or enterprises
of corporations, independent of the question of
the constitutional power of congress to make
such grants, is unjust and impolitic and
in manifest conflict with the spirit of our re
publican institutions, as it directly tends to
create and foster the wealth of the favored
classes at the expense of the whole people who
bear the burdens of government and mani
festly furnishes undue facilitiss for enlargement
of great private estatos, a policy which govern
ment of the people cannot justly or safely en
courage by any form of favoritism in legisla
tion.
It was adopted—yeas 229, nays 40.
THE SECOND RESOLUTION ADOPTED.
The question was then token on the seo
ond resolution, Mr. Lynoh of Wisconsin
making a vain effort to present a substitute.
The resolution is as follows:
Resolved, In view of the present condition of
the treasury and because efficient and honest
government can only lie assured by frugal ex
penditure of the public moDey. while unneces
sary and lavish expenditures under any and all
conditions lead inevitably to venal and corrupt
methods in public, alt airs, no money ought to
be appropriated by congress from the public
treasury except such as is manifestly necessary
to carry on the several departments frugally,
efficiently and honestly administered.
The resolution was agreed to—yeas 164,
nays 93.
CLERKS FOR COMMITTEES.
The House then took up for consideration
the report of the committee on accounts
assigning clerks to the various committees
of the House and discussion ensued as to
whether there was not extravagunce m
these assignments. After a long debate the
minority substitute providing for 24 clerks
was defeated—yeas h 4, nays 104—and the
majority report, which provides for 37
clerks, was agreed^to.
Mr. Fyan of Missouri,who has been absent
on acoount of sickness, was then sworn in,
but his health was so feeble that he was
obliged to take the oath of ofllco from his
seat.
Mr. Hatch introduced a bill amending
the presidential succession act so as to add
the office of Secretary of Agriculture after
that of Secretary of the Interior. It was
referred.
The House then adjourned until Monday.
HAD HOLMAN SCARED.
Ho Thought His Resolution Against
Subsidies Was Doomed.
Washington, Jan. 15.—Mr. Holman had
under serious consideration yesterday the
advisability of withdrawing his resolution
declaratory of the sense of the House on
subsidies and other matters involving appro
priations, and of amending it so as to make
its wording less stringent. The opposition
wnioh developed to tho resolution was
unexpected by Mr. Holman, who hnd
anticipated that a considerable proportion
of tbe members on the republican side
would vote for it. and that it would have
the almost united support of the democratic
members. The spirit of antagonism shown
to it by a number of democrats was there
fore a surprise to him, and led to the
motion made by Mr. Holman yeetordav,
having in view its modification or "repair”
as suggested by Mr. Reed, the leader of the
republican minority.
NOT AS SERIOUS AS FEARED.
Mr. Holman found, however, that the
defection was not as serious os had been
feared, and that the proposed amendment
to the resolution would rob it of much of
its force, and permit in the future a very
liberal construction of its purport as applied
to specifio objects. It is thought that even
as the resolution stands, there will be a suf
ficient difference of opinion in the future
In the interpretation to be given it in
speoific instances, and that it would be
well to stand by the resolution
as originally framed and not let the 1 ars
down to a greater extent. A democratic
member of the House committee on appro
priations who was asked about the change
of plan from last night, said this morning
that the army was found to be all right and
in good shape and that there was no oc
casion for repairs.
TALK OF A CAUCUS.
The lack of united, harmonious action
developed yesterday led to talk among some
of the democratic members of the desira
bility of holding a caucus, at which there
might be a general discussion of the party
•policy, and an agreement with reference to
the oourse to be pursued. This talk
has not yet crystallized iuto the
form of tbe circulation of a call for a
caucus, but several members have the sub
ject under consideration and rnav draft a
call and hand it around for signatures.
Other democrats think, however, that as
matters have righted themselves hr respects
the present subject before the House—the
Holman resolution- it would be well to de
fer a party caucus for the present.
A JACKSON CLUB.
Jacksonville Starts a Movement That
Will Spread.
Jacksonville, Fla., Jan. 15.—A Jack
fem Club was organized hero to-night with
104 members, under the plan of the Na

Passes on Railroads—A Teacher of
Drawing la Trouble.
Gainesville. Fla., Jan. 15.—1n going
in quest of news for the Morning News a
few days ago to the village of Mlcanopy
and back, a distance of only seventeen miles
by rail, I saw two preaohers and three rail
road contractors pull half-rate cards and
mile books, and cx-Secator Mann, Charles
Ferry and a county sheriff annual free-pass
cards, iustead of full rate 4 and 5 cents per
mile tickets, like the common people, who
make the produce which the railroads grow
rich by hauling, have to do or he put off the
trains by the conductors. Two-sixths of
the people ride on free passes, one-sixth at
2 cents per mile, while the other half who
make the produce for the roads to haul have
to pay respectively 4 and 5 cents per mile.
If every person who rides on the cars was
compelled to pay then the roads could well
afford a 2 cent rate. Hut when favoritism
prevails as it does here now one-half the
people have to foot the fare of the other
half. Think of itl You can pay local rates
to the Georgia line and get to Atlanta for
$9; buy here a through ticket and you will
have to pay sll 50.
a drawing-master in trouble.
L. F. Shuford, who was arresjed and
committed to jail here by Magistrate Eas
terlin of High Springs, ou the cnarge of
assaulting one of bis pupils in drawing, was
interviewed by your correspondent yester
day. He expressed a wish that the News
would do him the justice to say that he in
dignantly denies the charge. Hhe herself
admitted under oath that after she had
been assaulted, she visited and received les
sons from Mr. Hhuford on three subsequent
occasions, and that she also subsequently
invited him to a sociable and to
take breakfast ut her father’s house.
Another affidavit has been made by a Miss
Robertson of High Springs, and a warrant
issued upon the same for .Shuford, charging
him with an assault upon her also. The
oaae was to have been tried hero yesterday
at 10 a. in., but the prosecutors did nut put
in an appearance. Hhuford made oath be
fore Justice Kasterlin that he could not get a
fair trial In his bailiwick, hut to this Kast
erlln gave no heed. Upon this ground Shu
ford will ask to be brought before Judge
Finley of the olrcuit court, the offense being
a felony, upon a writ of habeas corpus, and
ask that the action of Justice Kasterlin bo
set aside and an examination given him at
Gainesville. He is from Whigham, Ga., and
no charge has ever been brought against
him before. All the parties are white, and
the father of the girl is well to do and has
been a member of the Florida legislature.
Charlie Alieu, the switch engine fireman
who shot Waits, the negro at the Savannah,
Florida and Western depot, ten days ago,
was up before Judge Gardiner for a pre
liminary hearing yesterday, but the case
was postponed to await the condition of
Waits, which is very critical, the lower half
of his body being paralyzed.
Final proof was made yesterday at the
land office here by a negro, Robert Swaim,
of his homestead near lntorlacheu. Thu is
the land over which the famous Swaim-Call
controversy was held from 1880 to 1888,
Senator Call being defeated.

for the same period of last season.
Him Asia, a desperado from Han Mateo,
was sentenced at the last term of the crim
inal court to one year in the penitentiary
for attempting the life of another negro.
At the time he pretended to bo insane, and
a physician examined him at the request of
Judge Giliis. After sentence he immedi
ately recovered and sent word by his wife
to his victim that be would escape and kill
him, and in order to quicken her memory
remarked that he would kill her If she failed
to deliver his message. He has recently
escaped, having served at the camps only
five weeks, and now threatens the sheriff
also (by proxy, of course). The man he
attempted to kill goos constantly armed with
a Winchester.
A double wooden bottom has been laid in
the tanks at the water works in order to

THE MORNING NEWS: SATURDAY, JANUARY IG, 1802.
EXHORTS ARE ENORMOUS.
MORE MONEY DOB THU SIDE BY
EUROPE THAN EVER.
Freer S slling of Cotton All That la
Needed to Esse the Situation In the
South—No Prospect of a Shortage in
the Supply of Money at the North.
New York, Jan. 15.—The business fail
ures occurring throughout the countrv dur
ing the last week, as reported by R. G.
Dun & Cos., number for the United States
287, and for Canada 43, a total of 330;
against 435 last week (eight days).
It was -uggested to weeks ago that the
exports in December were likely to be ex
traordinarily large! Preliminary reports
just issue! indicate that the exports iu that
month were probably the largest ever
known, for while no increase appears in
cotton and exports of provisions, cattle
and oil were slightly less than
a year ago. A gain of $20,100,000 appears in
breadstuffs, making a net increase in the
principal items of $17,540,845, or nearly 25
per cent., indicating that the aggregate ex
ports for the month will probably exceed
$116,000,000 against about $98,000,000 last
year, when the amount was greater than it
had ever been in any month. The exports
of flour increased 60 per cent, and the ex
ports of wheat were 15,690,000 bushels
against 4,800,0u0 bushels last year, while the
exports of cotton are 48,000,000 pounds
greater in quantity, though no increaso ap
pears in value, owing to tbe low prices.
MEANS PLENTY OF MONEY.
These enormous exports overshadow all
other features in tho commercial situation.
They insure largo supplies of money if ever
needed, but at present the markots are ev
ery where well supplied except at southern
points, and are better supplied thore than a
week ago. The treasury disbursements
have beon large, ami there is no reason to
expect a lack in the supply of money.
Another fact of large importance is that
the iron output was not diminished in De
cember, as üßual, owing to the stoppage of
furnaces during the holidays, but was
188,012 tons weekly, against 188,135 Dec. 1,
and 107,599 a year ago. The decrease in
December, last year, was about
16,000 tons. The market is
fairly active, though tho enormous
output gives buyers an advantage and Ala
bama and Virginia iron are nfforod at
lower prices. There is a fair inquiry for
rails and good busine s iu plates, while
structural mills are well employed, though
with comparatively few new orders.
THU WOOL CLIP.
The wool production last year Is esti
mated as considerably larger than that of
tbe year before, but the s'oeks on hand are
somewhat larger, indicating that the con
sumption in 1891 bask,evu about the same
as in 1890. The market shows no impor
tant change, and just at this season none is
to be expected.
Pittsburg reports no change in the iron
market, though pricos for fiuisnod iron aro
growing stroegor.
The depression of business at tbe south on
account of the low price of cotton still con
tinues.
Breadstuffs have been much weaker since
tho publication of tbe government reports
and wheat has fallen 1% cents, corn 1% cents
and oats % cents. The exports and receipts
continue large, though ooldsr and less favor
able weather to some extent restricts
the movement. Coffee is unchanged and
oiljios advanced 3 cents. Cotton fell to
7.37 cents during the week, the lowest price
for forty-three years, but has since recov
ered to 7.56 oents, though the receipts and
stocks are remarkably large. The de
pression at the south is not relieved by the
talk at the cotton convention aud probably
cannot be In any way except by free sales
of cotton which is now held for higher
prices.
CHIPS FROM CORDELE.
The Newly Elected Aldermen—Tbe
Plank for the New College.
Cordklk, Ga., Jan. 15.—The election for
aldermen hero yesterday resulted in tbe
election of Messrs. Windham, Holmes and
Lockett, auti prohibitionists, over Messrs.
Callahan, Pounds nnd Bland, prohibition
ists. The vote stood 141 to 43 in favor
of the wet ticket. On the morning of
election day no one knew who would be
the auti candidates. The “Progress” Club
met and nominated the ticket, and voted
for it solidly. Tins is a dry couuty, but
some sav that the city oounoil, as it is
"wet,” will issue license, and that Cordele
will have open barrooms instead of "blind
tigers” as heretofore.
The committee on plank for the South
Georgia Baptist Association Female Col
lege have completed their plana and say
that tho building will soon be commenced;
this will be a great thing for Cordele, as
heretofore she has had but poor school
facilities.
B siuess prospects are considerably
brighter now. Cordele is mainly support
ed by turpentine and oaw-mill interests,
and though lumber business is somewhat at
a standstill, yet turpentine is still bringing
good prices.
Tho big Suwaneo hotel is almost com
pleted. Already several of the stores un
derneath it are occupied. This will be one
of the biggest hotels in Georgia.
THOMASVILLE’3 PROSPERITY.
Tho Outlook for the Future Not in tho
Least D scourag-ing.
Thomasville, Ga., Jan. 15. The
changes incident to the closing of the year
have been made and all hands are settling
down to steady work. While the prosper
ity of Thomasville is not as exuberant as it
might be, still the town is doing well. The
merchants have passed the critical point
without serious trouble, and are now
all standing with eyes turned to tho
future. The winter tourist business
is daily increasing, and everything indi
cates that the many ten thousands of dol
lars placed by our people in that business
have been wisely invested. The stream of
gold which the winter travel pours into
tliis city lias begun to flow, and the spirits
of those of overy calling improve ns the
stream enlarges and expands. The farmer,
too, at least of Thomas county, is
catching tho inspiration of the young year,
and moving with a quicker and more clas
tionnd decided step. His mind is bei ig
made up. Tbe conclusion is less cotton,
more food crops and more varied products.
The future may justly look dark to him,
but the dawn will surely break, just so
surely as that day follows night. All
together Thomasville and Th units county
has much to be thankful for.

KATE CLAXTON’S FIRB ALARMS.
The Charming Little Actress Tells of
Her Experiences la Panics.
Front the Louisville Courier-Journal.
For over fifteen years Kate Claxt >n has
been pursued by a peculiar form of ill-luck.
In spite ot the little woman's pluck, which
has made her a heroins of several fires and
a dozen or so of panics, she rather shrinks
from the su ject, and it is with difficulty
that she can be persuade! to tell of some of
the escapes from flames tbat she has had.
Her experience at Harris’ theater last
Mon ay night, when the cry of fire caused
a panic, is only one of several through
which she has passed since 1875, the year of
the celebrated Brooklyn fire. Hhe had just
been dragged from the stage last evening
by La Krochard, the hag, in "The Two Or
pnaus,” when a Courier-Journal reporter
sought her out. The excitement of the false
alarm had left ber nerves a little shattered,
she explained. When reference was made
to her apparent coolness she said that her
manner showed nothing of what she
really felt. "I was very much wrought
up. No one can tell what the cry of fire
meant to me. I had begun to think that
my evil genius had forgotten my existence,
it seemed so long since the last panic. I
was in no exceptionally good humor, and
was sitting on the steps of the platform
when the stampede began. As is always
ray first impulse, I rushed to see the flames.
1 did not doubt that tho building was ablaze.
At one glance, however, I saw there was no
danger, except that which come* with
every panic.
"You know,” ehe said, "that I dread a
panic worse than Ido a fire. My experi
ence has been that more people are crushed
to doath In their efforts to get out, than are
ever burned alive. Tbe escapes I have
made which some seem to think almost
miraculous were the result of coolness and
presence of mind. When the cry of fire is
given, 1 never allow my impulse to run
with the crowd to govern me. I imperil
my life somewhat in order to seek out the
danger and choose the best method of
escaping from it. Often, it seemed to me
afterward,that had I followed the mad
rush for the main exits I would never have
escaped. I try to impress everybody with
the same idea. First view the situations
and figure up the chances for escape. When
the Southern hotel, in St. Louis, was burned
for instance, at which time twenty-seven
lives were lost, I never did any of the re
markable feats which have been attributed
to me. The story is generally believed tbat
I rollod down the burning stairs in wet
blankets. Tbe faot was I staid in the burn
ing budding until I discovered a safe means
of escape. The fact that I was one of the
lat to get out caused dozens of reports to
ho spread.
"My reputation as a fire fiend began the
second year I acted in ‘The Two Orphans.’
I wasplaying in Brooklyn. I had thrown
myself on the straw bed to sleep. I had
closed my eyes aud for this reason did not
discover the fire at first. When I was
awakened and ordered to get up, I saw tho
fire creeping along tho top of the theater.
Every one remembers the fatal ending.
Four hundred persons were burned or
trampled to death, among whom were
three of the company. The next year, 1877,
I was caught in tbe St, Louis Are. Ever
since then 1 have been considered a fore
runner of fires. I can only account for the
numerous false alarms and panics from
the faot that there are always some
superstitions person in the audience, who,
believing me to be followed by an evil genius,
shouts Are at the slightert provocation.
More panics have been caused by fights in
the streets and alleys than In any other way.
Just a short time ago thero was a panic in
Lacrosse, Wis., caused in the identical way
as the case here Monday night. Another
panic which came near being a disaster was
caused by a street fight iu front of the
Owens’ Academy of Music iu Charleston, S.
C. When one starts it is impossible to
check it. I have tried screaming to the
audience, but it only makes it worse.
My presence often seems to check a
stampede. At the close of tho soene
last uight I made up my mind to have me a
bijj sign printed with the words: 'lt is only
a fight.’ Of all the theater panics I have
been in only three were caused by fire.
Several times the flies have been ablaze
without any one in the audience knowing
it. I have become morbid on the subject of
fire, aud no matter how late at night it
is if an alarm is sounded I always dress
and go. When the Fifth avenue theater in
New York burned 1 was present, and
watched it to the end. If I had been seen it
would probablv have been said that my
presence caused it. I do not deserve the
reputation of being brave in fire-, for I am a
great coward, so great a one that it often
enables me to seem self-sustained. After
such a fright as lost night lam left com
oletely uunerved.”
Hero Miss Claxton was forced to stop
talking, for tho call buy had come to give
her the cua in the last act. Mi?s Claxtm
ha-been playing the “Two Orphans” off
and on since 1875. She owns the drama,
and has copyrights on it under six different
titles. She says that she has spent far more
money in preventing othsrs from using the
play than she paid for it in the beginning.
DISSIPATED CONNECTICUT COWS.
Sad Experience of the President of tho
Prohibitory Legislation Society.
Flow the New York Tribune.
While the most advanced Connecticut re
formers are denouncing dogs it would seem
that they ought to include their cows. The
best thinkers of the Nutmeg state now clan
tho owning of a dog with the use of strong
drink, but no Connecticut dog has ever
be n reported drunk and disorderly, while
this is precisely the news which comes from
the Connecticut cows. Long association
with Connecticut men has demoralized the
cows at last, and they have taken to rum.
As everybrdy knows, this is a good sea
son for apples. Thousands of bushels of
this fruit are scattered about on the ground
in the orchards all over the state. Now,
these apples, being dumb, inanimate things,
and not understanding what a pernicious
substance alcohol i9, and still less, of course,
being unable to realize that there are very
proper laws against alcohol—these poor ap
ples, we say, have largely turned into cider
of an excellent but highly intoxicating
quality. They have looked iunooent as they
lay on the ground, but in reality each has
been a sort of an alcohol dumpling, ready
to bite like a serpent and sting like an adder.
To these apples the low Conueotiout
cows hate turned and actually made men
of themselves. The other day a cow be
longing to Mr. Hanson of North Haven
went out in tne orchard nnd began eating
applet. She was soon staggering about and
making a sickening spectacle of herself, es
pecially for several young calves that were
in a neighboring lot. At last she stumbled
against a fence and broke her leg, and a
state humane agent came along and shot
her. Yet, If you will believe it, those very
calves that had seen it all, the next day
themselves got drunk and tried to play leap
frog. Thus wo see tbe fatal example of the
draukard.
But an even worse case is reported. As
tho reader may know, A. J. Doughty of
Southfield is a strong advocate of total ab
stmouce anti president of tho Connecticut
Society for the Promotion of Prohibitory
Legislation. One day last week his cows
went on a tear in the orchard. They bad a
wild time all tho afternoon, bellowing, kick
ing at thetreetops, running foot raoes, fight
ing, etc., but were pretty well sobered up
wuen they came iu at night, so that the
stabiemau suspected nothing aud milked
them as m ua!. Now, the fact is, a large
part of the alcohol had gono into the milk,
it happens that Mr. Doughty is foud
i of milk, and that night at supper he called
fora bowful. There were several young
people present, at.d he embraced the oppor
tunity to say a word for temperance. “My
young friends,” he observed, “in this bowl
cf rich new milk we have no headaches, no
quarrels, no wickedness, no noise and fool
ishness. it invigorates, but it does not in
toxicate. llow different it is from the
treacherous wine-cup!” Mr. Doughty then
drank the milk, and, finding it* even
better than usual, ordered another
bowl. He continued to call for more,
and, after disposing of three or four bowls
of it, the other people present were
astonished to see the pre-ldent of the Society
for the Fr mot: n of Prohibitory Legisla
tion begin to exhibit many of the signs of
intoxication notioed in the o ws during the
af ernooa. He did not want to fight, of
course, but he insisted on a double-shuffle in
front of the sideboard and on three cheers
for Connecticut. In fact, his enthusiasm
over Connecticut was ti e most noticeable
feature of his acti ns. He ann uuced that
Connecticut was the largest state in the
union. One of the guests cast doubts on
this assertion, and Mr. Doughty challenge!
him to name a larger i'ate. Tbe guest
thought a moment and suggested Texas.
“No.sir," shouted Mr. Doughty; “Texsnus
an tin it! Connecticut biggest state in
the union! 'Rah for Conneshicut!" The
coachman and gardner finally put him to
be!. It was noticed the next day that all
the apples were being carefully removed
from the ground iu the orchard.
We hope to hear that the cold weather
has put an end to the disgraceful actions of
th 6 Connecticut ouws bv freezing up the
intoxicating apples. Our cows at least
ought to set the rising generation a belter
example.
Presidential Beards.
From the Philadelphia Record.
It Is an interesting fact that Fresident
Van Buren was the only Fresident previous
to Lincoln who wore hair on bis face, and
Andrew Johnson was the only President
after Lincoln who wore a smooth face.
Sinoe the war beards have predominated.
They adorned the faces of Presidents Lin
coln, Grant, Hayes, Garfield and HarrisoD.
Tho element of whiskers, pure and simple,
was represented by President Artnur, while
Grover Cleveland enjoys the distinction of
being the only President who wore a
mustache without beard or whiskers.
Upon taking a summary the following
ratio appears: Fifteen Presidents wore
smooth faces, 1 wore beard and mustache,
2 wore side whiskers, 1 wore beard and side
growth and 1 wore mustache alone. Aside
from the appearance of their faces, with or
without a growth of hair, the truo embodi
ment of eaen nature can readily be read
from their countenances. Traits of charac
ter can readily be distinguished.
A Dangerous Diet.
From the Chicago Tribune.
“Blaine’s dooturs say that his sick spell
was due to something he’d eaten, don’t they,
Lije?” asked the President reflectively.
“Yes, sir. Darn those doctors, anyway.
I know it was due to some grave chronic
ailment which would make him wholly un
fit to discharge the duties of the office me
and you fill so well.”
"Never mind that, Elijah. But when a
man takes Daok something he said they said
they oall it eating his words, don’t they.”
"Yes, sir.”
“Ltje, I don’t wonder Jim’s stek. You
remember how he promised mo to write
letter before the first of this year.”
