DAY'S WORK OF THE HOI’SE
A Pension Resolution With 1,900
.Names Attached to It.
The Proposed Joint Commission to In
vestigate the Necessity for a Reor
ganization of the Navy Under De
bate-Representative Hitt Offers
Resolutions Calling for Information
as to the Instructions Given Minis
ter Willis.
Washington. Dec. 6.—ln the House to
day Mr. Grosvenor offered a resolution
containing 1.900 names of Ohio pensioners
who were dropped from the roll between
March 4 and Oct. 1, 1*93, and requesting
the Secretary of the Interior to furnish
the House a detailed statement as to the
reasons for these suspensions; whether
applications had been made for reinstate
ment. and all correspondence bearing on
the subject. It was referred to the com
mittee on pensions.
Mr. Meyer, dem., of Louisiana, called
up for consideration a concurrent
resolution reported from the committee
on naval affairs, providing for a commis
sion of three senators and three repre
sentatives to be api>ointed to investigate
the rank and all other matters relative to
the personnel of employes in the navy,
with a view to the equalization and bet
terment of the service.
Mr. Sayers offered an amendment strik
ing out the provision for a clerk and mes
senger, which was accepted by Mr.
Meyer.
KILGORE OPPOSES IT.
Mr. Kilgore opposed the resolution. He
said that no necessity for it existed, and
he considered it unlikely that the Senate
would concur in the amendment.
Mr. Cummings read an extract from the
annual report of the Secretary of the
Navy indicating the need of a reorgani
zation of the navy.
Mr. McCreary was opposed to the reso
lution, although he felt friendly towards
the navy.
A genera! discussion followed, amid
great confusion. The chairman, Mr.
Dockery, requested the sergeant-at-arms
to assist him in preserving order.
A motion to report the resolution from
the committee of the whole to the House,
developed the lack of a quorum.
Before the roll call which followed was
concluded, the morning hour expired, and
the committee rose.
The Senate amendments to the bill ap
propriating $50,000 for the employment of
additional deputy collectors of internal
revenue to enforce the Chinese restric
tion act were concurred in:
RESOLUTIONS ON HAWAII.
Mr. Hitt, of Illinois, offered the follow
ing resolutions, which were referred to
the committee on foreign affairs:
Resolved. That the President be requested
to communicate to this House, if not incon
sistent with the public interest, copies of the
instructions given to the representative of
the United stales now in the Hawaiian
Islands in regard to the protection of the
lives and properly of American citizens
there; or any contemplated change in the
form of government.
Resolved. That it is the sense of this
Ho se that intervention by the government
of the i nited states, its representative or
armed forces in the affairs of a friendly re
cognized government to disturb or overthrow
it. and substitute a monarchy therefor, is
contrary to the policy and traditions of the
republic and iho spirit of the constitution.
A meeting of the committee has been
called for to-morrow to consider them.
The hour of 1:30 o'clock having arrived,
the special orders were taken up. being
a concurrent resolution accepting the
statue of Gen. James Shields in the
name of the United States, thanking the
governor and state of Illinois for the gift
and assigning it a place in statuary hall.
After eulogies upon Gen. Shields had
been pronounced by Messrs. Springer,
Gannon, Bland and Black, of Illinois, the
Senate resolution was substituted for
that offered by Mr. Springer and adopted.
Mr. Springer then moved that the
House adjourn as a further mark of re
spect to Gen. Shields, and in order that
themembf rs icitht have an opportunity of
attending the unveiling ceremonies.
The motion prevailed, and at 2:25 p. m.
the House adjourned until 12 o'clock to
morrow.
A THRILLING STORY RECALLED.
A Number of Interesting Matters
From the Thriving Town of Way
cross.
Waycross, Ga., Dee. 6. —The story of
the killing of an Indian by the early set
tlers, shortly after the Indians' massacre
of the Wilde family, early in the thirties,
is vividly recalled by the finding of an
Indian skull in a small mound near Kettle
Creek church recently, by a young man
of that community.
Before the Indians were driven into
the Okeefinokee swamp it is said that a
young Indian, who was next to Chief
Billy Bowlegs in importance, was mur
dered by the friends of the Wilde family,
because of the massacre. His body was
found by his tribe and was placed in a
mound. The skull is said to be kept as a
curiosity by Dr. Jeffords.
The principal public improvements
made in Waycross during this year are
the completion of the splendid artesian
system, the laying off of two public parks
and the paving of the principal streets.
Several hundred dollars were spent in
keeping up the quarantine by the city.
It is learned that the citizens' mass
meeting will not be called just now.
It has not been definitely decided upon
by the citizens of Clinch county whether
anew court house shall be built at
Ilomerville or not.
A HEAVY CUT IN WAGES.
It Ranges From 30 to BO Per Cent, in
a Shovel Factory.
Beavetr Falls, Pa., Dec. 6. The Myers
Shovel factory has resumed operations,
after a long shut-down, but at wage re
ductions that dumbfounded the work
men. All employes were reduced 30 to 40
percent., and on some machines 50 per
cent. The workmen accepted the reduc
tion under protest.

EMOTIONALISM IN RELIGION.
The Theme Under Discussion at the
Baptist Congress.
Augusta. Ga., Dee. 6.—‘-Emotionalism in
Religion" was the theme for discussion at
the morning session of the National Bap
tist congress. Able papers were read by
Rev. John Lipscomb Johnson, L.L. D., of
Columbus. Miss., and Rev. Theodore A
K. Gessler, D. D.. of Grace church. New
York. The discussion was joined in by
Rev. George E. Horr. of Massachusetts:
Rev. R. G. Bevil, of Ontario, and others.
The preponderance of argument was in
favor of appeal to the heart rather than
solely to the intellect. Dr. Johnson said
"I had far rather have all the machinery
and minstrelsy of modern revivalists,
with all the people clapping their
hands and shouting unto God,
than the decorous silence that must
reign when a cold, untremulous skeleton
hand puts a death’s-head'seal upon the
stone and Unbelief stationed guard at the
door of the sepulchre of our Lord.”
Rev. Walter Rauschenbush. of New
York, said: “If we choose between intel
lect and emotion, in religious works. I
woftld rather have genuine emotion with
little intellect, than great intellect with
out emotion."’
Dr. Horr, of Massachusetts, favored an
apjeal to the emotions through an intelli
gent and earnest presentation of the word,
rather than the magnetic influence of the
speaker. Fame is lasting and brings
forth fruit, the former is Meeting and un
proM table.
ORGANIZATION OF YOUNG TEOPI.E.
At the afternoon session the theme of
discussion was, “Shall Our Young People
Be Organized for Christian Work.”
Henry C. Vedder, Esq., editor of the
Examiner, of New York, said the
question seemed to him to have
but one side. Of course, the young
people should be organized for Christian
work. The young people needed the dis
cipline and the church needed their en
thusiasm. Any church that has a Sun
day school is stopped from objecting, on
principle, to young people’s societies.
Dr. Hawthorne, of Atlanta, who was the
next speaker on the programme, was de
tained at home, on account of sickness,
and President Gambrell of Mercer Uni
versity at Macon, continued the discus
sion.
BAPTISTS ON GENERALITIES.
Dr. Gambrell is a humorous speaker,
and keeps his audience in smiles, but pre
sents his thoughts in a way that makes a
lasting impression. “A Baptist on gen
eralities is a |H)or thing. We want a Bap
tist in particular. A Baptist on general
ities is running in very shallow water and
will soon be on the ground. Organization
means support. It means the opportuni
ties for wise direction. Our northern
brothers beat us in organization. We are
not an army- of Baptists in the south ; we
are a drove, a gang. No man can handle
a body of men singly; they must be or
ganized. This young people's movement
puts the young people to work in the
church, for the church, and
under the direction of tho
church. We must study this question
of organization. Many girls dance because
they have nothing to do in the church;
many a boy goes wrong because he is not
kept bns.v in tho church. This young
people's movement will educate workers
for the church. Of course we ought to
foster this movement.”
THE BAPTIST DOCTRINE.
Rev. G. S. Gardner, of Nashville, said
he believed heartily in the young people’s
society. The only way to hold Baptist
young people is to educate them in Baptist
doctrine. Our doctrines are not
popular doctrines, and the rea
son is that they are not understood.
It is our duty to make them so. I re
joice in the organization of our young
people. They are made conscious of the
fact that they are factors in Christian
work. God speed the movement.”
Rev. David L Ramsey, of Charleston,
said he was deeply interested in the
movement. “It is objected that our girls
may be called on to do something they
ought not to do. We are not consistent
on this. Why should a woman stand up
and teach the bible class at Sunday school
in the morning and not be at liberty to
speak in the young people's meeting in
the afternoon.?”
CONCEPTIONS OF SALVATION.
The Baptist congress continued its ses
sions during the evening with discus
sions of the topic “Ethical versus Forensic
Conceptions of Salvation.”
The topic is interesting only to theolo
gians and brought out some highly meta
physical papers.
Dr. Gessler, of New York, made the Bit
of the evening when he declared that the
thought which had impressed him most
during the discussion was that it was not
necessary to understand any of ttie papers
which had been read in order to be saved.
The question of atonement would always
be a mystery to the human mind, but any
man who was ready to accept Christ
could have salvation and have it now.
FLAMES IN A NAVY YARD.
The Storage Building at Norfolk
Burned With Its Contents.
Norfolk, Va., Dec. 6.—There was an im
mense fire i,n the navy yard this morning,
and before the flames could be subdued a
storage building seventy-five feet wide
and 250 feet lone, three stories high, with
its contents of steam engineer stores, was
in ashes.
The fire was discovered at 7:40 o'clock.
When smoke was seen coming from the
building the fact was reported to the
watch officers, and immediately there
after to Admiral Brown, who ordered out
the fire department, and the bell at the
gate was rung.
Capt. Cromwell, who has charge of the
navy yard, made an investigation and
found the fire in the center of the build
ing on the second floor. The Ports
mouth fire department was called
on and sent two engines,
which, after having great difficulty in
getting water, went to work and sent
powerful streams into the burning build
ing. The water did not have much effect,
however, as there was a great quantity
of cotton waste, turpentine, oil and other
eombustible material, which burned
furiously, and nothing couid be done other
than to confine the blaze to the doomed
building.
THE BOOKS SAVEP.
While the tire was at its highest, J.
Turner White and Willie Powell, two of
tho clerks engaged in making an inven
tory of the stock in the building, entered
the office, though warned that it was dan
gerous, and secured all the books and
papers.
There was only one accident during the
fire, George W. Bland, of Portmouth,
while placing a ladder was struck over
the eye with a piece of falling slate, re
ceiving a bad cut. which was dressed at
the dispensary.
The origin of the fire is supposed to
have been from spontaneous comDustion.
as there is a standing order that all the
office tires must be extinguished at 4
o'clock, and the fire was first discovered
where cotton waste was stored.
The loss is expected to reach between
$209,000 and $300,000.
A Time Killing Task.
Columbia, S. C., Dec. o.—The joint
committee of both houses appointed
to report ujHin the manner in which
the new revision of the statutes
shall be road, decided late to-night that j
it must be read just as bills are. It is es
timated that this will t onsume about
three weeks, as there are two large vol
umes. and a session after Christmas is
inevitable.
THE MORNING NEWS: THURSDAY, DECEMBER 7, 1893.
JONES ANSWERS MASSEY.
He Says He Thought He Was Dead,
Discussionally, and Burled.
Atlanta, Ga., Dec. 6.—Rev. Sam Jones
replies to Parson Massey's letter as fol
lows: “I see he says he will not charge
me with slander in what I had written of
him. Rev. Mr. Massey is a gen
tleman, a scholar and a Christian.
Ho is a magnificent debater.
He has the respect, love and confidence
; of every man. woman and child in Vir
ginia Now,'.he can't say I;have not slan
dered him. I thought the old thing was
dead, discussionally, and buried. The
fact that he lives is proof of the grand
1 doctrine of the resurrection of the dead,
lie was certainly sown in corruption. I
trust hedias been'raised in iucorruption.
He was sown in dishonor and I trust raised
in honor.
“Talk about misstatements. If I had sat
upon the platform during the discussion
and swallowed two whopping lies like he
did on the day of his and Sam Small s dis
cussion, I would let'mistakes on the part
of other gentlemen pass by unuoticed.
His lie was so ridiculous on Sam Small
that Sam told him that a minister of the
gos]>el that would tell such a lie on a
brother minister, was not fit to hang on
the back door of hell.”
LEHIGH'S STRIKE ENDED.
The Men Dissatisfied With the Terms
and May Not Resume.
Wiikesbarre, Pa., Dec. 6.—After being
in suspense all day, the Lehigh Valley
railroad strikers received official informa
tion this evening from Chairman Rice, of
the grievance committee, that the strike
had been declared off. There is a great
deal of dissatisfaction throughout the
entire Lehigh system over the terms of
the settlement. At most places, when
they learned that the strike was off, the
men went in a body and reported for duty.
They expected to be put to work, but
were told that they would be sent for
when the company needed their services.
It seems that the men did not understand
the settlement in this light, aud they are
very indignant. At Mauch Chunk they
unanimously declared that every man
would have to be taken back or none.
The strikers held a meeting in the op
era house here this evening. The propo
sition for a settlement was rejected. Sim
ilar action was taken at Lehigh to-night,
Westport and White Haven. The men
here were formerly engaged on the
Wyoming division, the most difficult por
tion of the entire line.
HORNBLOWER’S NOMINATION.
Serious Charges Against His Ability
Filed With the Committee.
Washington, Dec. 6.—This afternoon at
4 o’clock the Senate, on motion of Mr.
Cockrill, went into its first executive ses
lion, and the doors were reopened within
ten minutes. Forty-six nominations were
referred to the appropriate committees,
and beyond this nothing was done.
The nomination of William B. Horn
blower, to be associate justice of the su
preme court, was to-day referred to the
judiciary committee. It is said that there
was filed with the committee this after
noon a pamphlet giving an epitome
of the case of Clark li. Greggs
vs. Melville C. Day et at., executors
of Cornelius K. Garrison, in which some
severe reflections are made upon the legal
ability of the nominee. The most serious
allegation against Judge Hornblower's
ability as a jurist is said to be the opinion
of the New York court of appeals, before
which the case was heard.
A Mississippi Steamer Burned.
Vicksburg, Miss., Dec. 6.—The steamer
Chattahoochee of the Vicksburg and
Greenville Packet line was burned to the
hull this evening. She was valued at
$40,000, and, was only partly insured. She
was anew vessel and her hull was built
of steel.
HOWARD’S SECOND TRIAL.
More Witnessse on the Way From
England to Testify Against Him.
Nashville, Tenn. Dec. 6.—The second
trial of liev. Fredrick Howard, alias
William LordM moo re, was
begun in the federal court at Jackson
this morning. The first attempt at a
trial ended two weeks ago, with a “hung
jury.” The witness who came from Lon
don, have remained over and other Eng
lish witnesses are on their way to this
country.
Howard, who was a prominent Baptist
divine of Jackson, is said to be identical
with William Lord Moore, of London,
who conducted a fraudulent legacy busi
ness, inducing people in this country to
pay him fees to collect fortunes for them
in England that never existed.
THE CRUISER COLUMBIA.
Some Comparisons That Illustrate
Her Extraordinary Qualities.
From Harper's Weekly.
It was of the Columbia that Prof. Hol
lis, of Harvard, but formerly of the navy,
said:
“The tip of the propeller blades will
move through the water at tho moderate
rate of 75 miles an hour. The
condenser tubes, if placed end to end.
would form a tube 33 miles long. The
cooling water passed through them will
be equal to 36.000.000 gallons per day—
enough to supply a large city with water.
The main boilers, if placed end to end,
would form a tunnel 156 feet long, and
large enough for a train of cars to pass
through. The blowers are capable of
supplying 84,000,000 cubic feet of air an
hour. The coat required for a full-power
run across the Atlantic would supply 150
families for a year. With 20,000 horse
power she would lift herself—7,soo tons’
weight—to the Brooklyn Bridge in three
minutes if hoisting-ropes were coiled
around drums on the shafts. If the en
gines were set up on shore and used as a
catapult, they would throw a 300-pound
weight with such velocity that it would
! go off into space entirely clear of the
| earth's influence.”
It will be of interest to compare the
| speed of the Columbia with that of the
j best-known ocean fliers. The Columbia's
maximum speed on her trial trip was 25.31
! knots. That of tho Campania and the
j Lucania was about 28V 2 knots. The
sustained sea speed of the Columbia was
I 22.81 knots. The best sustained sea speed
! of the Lucania is 22.74 knots; the Cam
■ pania, 22.38; the Paris, 21.34; the Teu
tonic. 20.34; the Majestic. 20.10. Clearly
I the Columbia is farin the lead. In favor
able weather she should cross the Atlantic
in less than five days and a half. The
Lucania's best transatlantic record is 5
days, 12 hours, and 7 seconds.
No Slow Coach for Him.
A story is told in the Lewiston Journal of a
Penot sot Indian, which Indicates that (he
[ red man, before the advent of th? railroad,
looked upon the white ma.i s mole of travel
as somewhat tedious. It was in the old days
when the Houlton stsge line claimed to be a
medium of "rapid transit.'" ’1 he roach was

OLNEY DOWN ON FEES.
The System Wasteful and Full of In
congruities.
Washington. Dec. 6.—The annual report
of Attorney General Oluey notes with
gratification that the supreme court is
making reasonable progress in overcom
ing the arrears of business. which, until
the establishment of the circuit court of
appeals, steadily increased from year to
year.
In discussing the fee system the attor
ney general says: “The system by which
United States district attorneys,
marshals, clerks and commissioners are
paid by fees has been so often and so em
phatically condemned—is so indefensible
in principle and works such gross injustice
iu practice—that its survival to this time
is nothing less than a wonder
and a reproach. In recommending its
summary abolition, I merely endorse a
change of policy which has received the
earnest advocacy of every attorney gen
eral for the last twenty years. Illustra
tions of the wastefulness and the incon
gruities of the present system abound on
every hand. Congress would not dream
of paying any United States district at
torney an annual salary twice as large as
that received by a judge of
the supreme court of the United
States, yet under the fee system
the office of United States attorney
in one district has in recent years real
ized to its incumbent at least $20,000 a
year In another district, where the
earnings of a district attorney for a year
and a half amounts to $7.0*13. the returns
show that but little more than SI,OOO was
earned in the court, the entire balance
consisting of mileage charges tor travel
to court or to attend at tho discharge of
poor convicts.”
PRENDERGAST ON TRIAL.
The State Aiming to Get a Jury That
Will Send Him to the Gallows.
Chicago, Dec. 6. —The trial of Prender
gast for the murder of Mayor Carter Har
rison was begun to-day. The line of in
quiry on behalf of the state showed that
the intention was to get a jury which
could believe Prendergast to have been
a crank at the time he fired the
fatal bullets into Mayor Harrison's body
and yet be responsible for his deed, know
ing the difference between right and
wrong. The state's attorney’s questions
also indicated that the infliction of the
death penalty would be asked at the
hands of the jury if Prendergast was
judged to be guilty of murder beyond a
reasonable doubt.
The talesmens answers in relation to
the defendant's plea of insanity showed
that nearly all had a suspicion of such a
defense, while many who were excused
had made up their minds unalterably
that Prendergast was guilty of
a dastardly crime and should be
hanged. The line of examination on the
part of Attorney Wade for the defense
was mostly confined to inquiries if the
talesman had any prejudice against evi
dence tending to show that Prendergast
was insane, and also as to whether the
men summoned considered the killing of
Harrison a graver crime than the murder
of any other citizen.
VIRGINIA'S MASONS

NORFOLK'S POSTMASTERSHIP.
The Scheme to Select a Candidate by a
Primary Abandoned.
Norfolk, Va., Dec. 6.—Last week an
order was issued by the city democratic
committee for a primary to select a post
master for Norfolk. In consequence of
protests from four or five candidates, and
from the citizens generally, this order was
rescinded, and it was decided to leave the
matter with Representative Tyler and the
President.
ZANARDELLI RETIRES.
Threats of Bitter Opposition From the
Centrists Caused His Decision.
London, Dec. 6.—The Rome correspon
dent of the Central News says Signor
Zanardelli's decision to retire was
hastened by Deputy Sonnono's avowal
that he would put new life in the cen
trist opposition. Signor Zanarraeo’s dif
ference with Signor Zanardelli arose
from his demand to revive the corn and
flour import duties, which were abolished
by Signor Magliani. Fears of a popular
agitation impelled Zanardelli not to
comply.

CONSULTING OPTICIANS.
A STARTLING FACT,
That very few persons have perfect eyes. It
must be evident that It requires both know!
edge and skill to know what the eyes need
and to tit them properly with glasses. Those
who trust this work to uninstructed dealers
are criminally careless of the most valuable
of all the senses, their sight. In addition to
graduating in Germany and mv thirty years'
practical experience I have taken a course
and graduated in a school of optics In New
York and learned the latest and best methods
of ascertaining the different defects of the
eyes and their proper correction, so that I
can tit you properly with glasses that will
strengthen and improve youreyesight instead
of rapidly ruining it, as poorly fitted glasses
will always do. No charge for examination.
