Washington. April 15. A telegram
from Mr. Blount was received last night. (
and delivered nt the state department
this morning which confirmed the news
received yesterday from San Francisco,
regarding his action in Honolulu. The
telegram was brief merely reciting
the fact that the marines relieved from
duty on shore returned to their quarters
on Ute Boston. A full report from Mr.
Blount is expected to reach Washington!
next week by mail.
Washington. April 15.—Senator Platt
having the floor on the subject of the
proposed invodig.'ifon of Senator Roach, i
of North Dakota, notice was given by
Senator Harris that as soon as Senator
Platt should have closed his remarks,
he would move to take up the resolution
for (lie appointment of a committee to
wait upon the president and inquire]
whether he had any further coinmuni-|
cation to make to the senate.
Sermtor Platt stated the facts in Sena
tor Roach's case and argued against the
views presented yesterday by Senators]
George and Voorhees. He conceived that
the duty of the senate was plain. Could!
it b<., he asked, that if a convicted cri
minal just discharged from the peni-l
terdiar.v was elected Senator by the.
state the senate had not the power toi
reject or expel him.
Senator Hoar having withdrawn his
motion to reconsider the vote agreeing'
to the resolution offered some days ago
I>r th<* up|> ■iiitr it :i < oumUttoP to
wait, upon the pr- ideal, and i..form him]
tbi t the senate was ready to adjourn,
the res.dut’on became valid and Sena
tors Harris and Sherman were appoint-!
cd as such a < ommitlee. The motion
to reconsider was withdrawn only on l
the condition of having a yen and nay
vote taken on the Roach matter before]
adjournment.
Debate on the Roach resolution was
then resumed. Senator Mills making an
argument against the right of the Senate
to investigate, and Senator Hawley, at. i
argument in support of that right am' ,
in favor of the proposed investigation ]
When Senator Hawley had taken hit- ,
seat Senator Lodge obtained tin* floor [
and offered the following resolution:
•R, solved. 'l'll,'i| the Secretary of Stale
be directed to Inform the Senate by whose
authority the American ting was hauled
down from the g vernment bulbing at
Honolulu on April Ist.”
i’pon Senator Gorman's objection the
resolution went over with an amend |
inent offered bv Senator Butler, to add ;
the words “and also by whose authority j
ithe same was hoisted on said building.” j
Senators Harris and Sherman, who I
had been appointed a connntiteo to wail 1
upon the President. re|>orted that they I
had perhortned that duty and had ben
informed by the President that ho had
no further coniinunieatiou for the Senate
at its pri-sont stssion.

At the suggestion of Senator Mander
<toie, the recent decisions of Judges
Speer. Ricks and Taft as to the rights
mid duties of railroad employes. were
ordered printed as a document for the
use of the Senate. The Semite then pro
ceeded to the consideration of executive
business. At 5:50 the doors were re
opened and a resolution was offered by i
Senator Manderson and agreed to. ten
dering the thanks of the Senate to the !
Vee President for the impartiality am i
courtesy* with which he has presided over
the Senate during the present, extraordi
nary session.
Senator George renewed his effort to
have $5,000 set aside . out of the con
tingent fund, for the expenses of an in
vestigation of the Committee on Agri
culture during recess. A good deal of
opposition was made to it on the Dem
ocratic side of the chamber, and finally,
as a short way out of that and other
pending difficulties. Senator Cockerill
moved that the Senate adjourn sine die.
The motion was defeated —yeas 23. nays
23 (a tie). Party linos were ignored in
this vote, six Republicans voting in the
affirmative and eleven in the negative,
while seventeen Democrats voted for it
and twelve against it. Senator George’s
resolution was then defchted. and a re I
solution instructing the Committee on I
Contingent Expenses to fix the amounts i
to be allowed for several committee in
vestigations. Senator Hill then moved
to adjourn sine die. Agreed to without
a division.
The Vice President said before an
nouncing the result of the vote taken.
“I beg to express my earnest apprecia
tion of the uniform courtesy shown me
by the members and officers of this body
during the session now closing. Foi I
the resolution personal to myself, so
kindly adopted by the Senate. 1 am pro |
soundly grateful. In accordance with
the vote just taken I now deciare this
extraordinary session of the Semite ad
journied without a day.”
The senate held its last executive
sesion this afternoon and every nomina
tion made by the president up to date
was confirmed with exception of Ilew
; sone Lannon, to be United States Mar
shal for Delaware, which was sent in
' today. Under the rule a- single, objection
was miflioleuit to carry the nomination
over for the day, aud Senator Higgins,
of Delaware made that objection and
persisted in it. Senator Gray, sought
to have it withdrawn, but Senator Hig
gins was obdurate and exorcised the
I privilege that belonged to him. Conse
quently the nomination remained unacted
upon it being understood that the presi
dent would reappoint Lannon in recess.
When the nomination of the new Jus
tices of the court of appeals for the Dis
trict of Columbia were reported, the
Republicans begun n discussion, more
in the spirit of levity than with any de
sign of entering tin objection. Their
argument was in the line of rather tains-'
tic criticism of what they called the
president's departure from the princi
ple enunciated in the Chicago pintform,
which declared in favor of Home Rule
for the territories. 'Hie (Republicans'
pointed out that the President had gone
out. of the district. for two of his three!
Judges, one <if them being a chief Jus
tice, and Hint this course was a most]
conspicioiiM violation of the declarations
of the platform to which he subscribed 1
and upon which he ran for the office
to which he was elected. The Democrat
ic Senators defended the President and
said wh it ho had done was proper nnd ]
right. The senate by inaction in execu
tive session also failed to make public!
the text of the treaty recently negotiated!
with Russia, and that convention along
with the treaty with France remains
among the secret archives of the State
department nnd executive clerk of the
senate. No reference was made in the
secret, session to the Roach case, and !
when the doors were opened agin it j
was apparent from the direction business
took that there was no intention of Hide
milting Senator Ilonre’s resolution of
investigation to n vote. Earlier in the
day it was agreed that a vote should be
'aken but the Republicans subsequently
decided that inasmuch as there were so
few < f their own party present it would 1
be worse than useless to even attempt.!
Io put the Demoerit-i on record, by a
yea and nay vote. They contented them-,
■■ with I-the matter go out on
tiie appeal of Roach for an investigation,
that appeal being reinforced by the
request of Senator TLm-'broilgh. his col
league, who said that they sjmke for
their sovereign state-and asked that this
investigation' be made. This, the Re
publicans declared wits record sulficietit
to show where the responsibility should
rest for failure to look into the clnirac-;
tor of tile Senator from North Dakota.'
In view of the fact no mention Was
made of the Roach ease in subsequent
open session.
Washington. April 15. There is ex
cellent, authority for stating that (be

The continued export of gold from!
th's country to meet, the Austrian de-|
maud has reduced the free gold in the!
T'-'fe , St-tfes frwi-srv +o SI SGHJMMI
This allows for the $1,250,000 taken from !
the New York ■ub 'Treasury, yesterday
for shipments by teJiv's steamers. In
the belief that gold will continue to bo
exor' 1 fa ninoi'nie Io come and In
oisler to supply the demand for gold .
and to replenish the depleted stock it j
tie- Ni -.v York sub Treasury, it is stnt-j
~,1 fiv>< the Treasury Department bus
boon shipping gold from the treasury to
New York for Hie past week. The
amount thus shmpod it is thought is
not. less than $100,000,000 and may be
more.
Secretary Cnrl'sle today directed the
sub'l'reasurctrs throughout the limited ]
Sl-its-s to issue no more gold certificat
nt present'. In doing so he simply obeyed
the law which provides that, the See- |
rotary of the Treasury shall siispeni the!
issue of such gold co-t ideates whenever
the amount of gold bullion in the treas-!
nry reserved for the redemption of I'ni ,
fed States notes falls below SIOO,OOO. I
(MIO in explaining his action on this
subject Seeretarv Carlisle said this I
afternoon that while rhe $100,000,000
reserve had not yet been, reached, he
was so close to it that urndonee dictated:
that, no more gold cert'tioiltes should be
issued. This annoiim-emoiit that for,
the first time since specie payments
were resumed it was necessary to stop
the issue of gold certificates wits follow-!
oj by the rumor wh'eh was heard -it
the Capitol and ebowhoro 'hat the]
President had doe-’iled to issue six mil-i
lion dollars of four per cent bon is to!
protect, the gold reserve in case it be
li-aine necessary. S.-eretary Carlisle w-js
l-isked: “Is the rumor true that six mi!
lions of bonds have boon issued?
He replied: “six millions of bonds have'
not been issued.”
The Secretary did not. slate oxplioit.lv
that no bonds were to be issued. It!
was ascertained subsequently that, the
preen u turn ary measures which had boon
taken under the Harrison administra
tion of preparing to meet, an emergency;
by the issue of bonds if necessary, had
been carried a step further under the
present, administration, recognizing the
fact that the preparation of bonds was
a matter of time. Secretary Foster had
directed the Bureau of Engraving and
Bringing to prepare a large number of
bonds bearing four per cent interest,
ns authorized by the resumption act.
It was learned that $5,000,000 of these
bonds were now being advanced in fur
ther stages toward compeltion so that
if it should be deemed ssnry and
proper to issue them or any part of
them, rather than to break in upon the
gold reserve the emergency could be
met with the least possible delay.

Fiendish Brute.
Denmark. S. C., April 15.—(Special.)—
The citizens of Barnwell county tire
still very much excited over the out
rage p<>rpotrated on Miss Mamie Baxter
near Denmark Friday morning by an
unknown negro, and posses aggregat
ing two hundred men are scouring the
country in all directions in search of
the miscreant.
Every negro in the neigfliborhood an
swering to Miss Baxter's description has
been arrested and brought before th<-
yoting woman for identifiention, bi»t
thus far all the efforts of the Barnwell
people have proved futile. Tt was tele
graphed throughout both Carolinas and
Georgia that a negro answering the de
scription exactly had been captured tv*
Salley’s, on the Carolina Mißlaud road
The authorities immediately went to
Salley's and brought the negro to Den
mark where a large crowd of men bad
ccongregated ready to lynch him. but
the young woman failed to identify the
prisoner as her assailant. He was. how
ever. put in the lock-up with two other
negroes who were arrested by the citi
zen posses, and wil. be held for some
reason, until the crime is definit -ly set
tled on some one or other.
There is not the slightest. <b ibt tlu.i
the m-ofile mean business nnd the crimi
nal when caught will have but verv lit
tle time tn which to make preparations
for the death that will be summarily
dealt him. Fully two hundred men met
the train on which the supposed r.-ivisher
was brought to town and it needed but
a word of identification to fire the mine,
and the negro's life would have been
ended in short order. There were nl
sorts of reports here as to the torture
Hint will be applied to the oiitrager when
caught, -and no secret is made of. the ,
fact that he will be lynched.
Both of the victims of the cruel nt- I
fnek are in a very bad condition, the ■
boy being considerably swollen nbom :
till- f '■ e and neck as a result of tl)e beat- ]
ing he received, while the young girl is (
suffering intensely.
It was thought that a proper cine was
struck at a late hour tonigibl. and Mar- i
shal Weeks thinl-.s that ne wjfll have his ]
man behind the bars within the next
forty-eight hours. J. R- B-
LABOR DAY COMING
And Trouble is Anticipated in the Euro
pean Capitals.
London, April 15.—Advices from Ber
lin, Brussels, Vienna and other Euro
pean capitals state .that the jtuiho'rities
are looking forward to the socialist dem
onstrations of May day with even greater
anxiety than last year. Especially is
this the case in Brussels, where the ex
citing events of the past few dn.vs are
believed to Is* the forerunners of a more
desperate struggle to come. The Belgian
government lias already taken steps to
have a large military force in readiness
for a march on the capital should dis
order Teach the point at wliieh the po
lice nnd the guards civiuqe would be
incapable of dealing with. The guartie
civique numbers over 4.900 men, and is
recruited generally from the middle
classes. In the districts,
where manufacturing
almost the only
civique is largely comp >s<‘d Ail the
working classes, and its members might
not improbably be found fighting on the
side of the populace, instead of enforc
ing order. King Leopold is jstrongly
adverse to violence as long as it can lie
averted, and would not consent! to any
extreme use of the military arm unless it
should appear to be absolutely necessary.
Flo is said to be arriving, however, at
that conviction, for evidence has been
presented to him going to prove that
there is something deeper in the present
socialist agitation than to achieve uni
versal suffrage. It is reported that the
Belgian authorities have information
showing that a conspiracy exists for the
overthrow of monarchy, and the estab
lishment of a republic, and that the con
spirators count upon French sympathy,
, if not upon French support.
Berlin authorities will probably refuse
■ Io permit any socialistic demonstration
on May Day or only under such rigorous
limitations as to prevent the possibility
:of an outbreak. The Prussian govern
ment fears that any extensive demon
stration might be sized upon by anti-
Semitic agitators to raise a riot against
the Jews, which, in the present temper
of the working classes, would not be
difficult.
In Vienna it is stated that May Day
demonstrations will be altogether pro
hibited and the prohibition enforced by
the police, with the aid, if necessary,
of the military. Austrian manufacturers
have been requested in India If of the
government not to grant any exemption
from labor to their operatives on ac
count of May Day and preparations are
being imide to put down with rigor any
movement of a disorderly character.
In Par’s the authorities view the sit
j nation with calmness, and seem to have
| much less apprehension as to the future
'than is exhibited in the other European
j centres. The authorities believe that the
! lessons already given will have a deter
j ent effect upon the anarchists, and
j they are satisfied that the worst of ter
i rorists have departed from France.
From Now Zealand comes the nows
I that the people of that colony are rapid
ly drifting toward socialism. The legis
; inters of Now Zealand are all the time
! experimenting and their experiments are
i ail in the direction of state socialism.
The eight-hour movemqpt has been car
ried tli’r’ngh to successful issue and a
i weekly naif-holiday for shop assistants
I has been legally enjoined.

CHINA SILK WAISTS.
THEY MAY BE VERY POPULAR NEXT

New York Belle* Now I'rcpurlng Afternoon

They Taboo the Distended Skirt—New
Designs In Jewelry,
(Copyright 1823, by American Press Asaocla
tion.]
I can remember, and I am not bo very
old cither, when a good faille or gros
grain silk could not be bought for less
than $4 a yard, and now one can get a
handsome piece of silk at sl, and by
watching closely one often comes across
it piece for 59 to 75 cents and from that
downward. It needs to be a superb silk
I or a high novelty now to bring more
; than sl, and the lighter qualities of silks
are really scarcely more expensive than
fine cotton dress goods, and they are niqe
and pleasant to wear. *

SILK GOWNS.
No cotton, however thin, is as cool as
china silk or pongee, and I notice among
the new things put forward a very large
line of dafiity blouses, waistsand sacques
of these light silks in black, white and
other colors, particularly in Habutai and
wash silks. The china silks will all
wash and keep their color in everything
but cardinal and green. Those colors
are apt to streak.
Some of the pretty waists made of
white or black silk have adjustable col
larettes, made by sewing fishtail ends of
ribbon to a band, the longest in front
and graduating up to the middle of the
back, where the collar ties with a bow
nnd short ends. On the upper edge of
the band is a qnilling of the same rib
bon. Some of these are made of velvet
ribbon, and others of different kinds and
colors. All are dainty and girlish and
attractive. They will be worn with dif
ferent summer
The young ladies who are now prepar
ing to go to Newport, Lenox and Other
places where their new gowns will have
the best chance to be admired are having
loads of pretty afternoon dresses made
here and also imported. It is a little re
markable that the very ladies who have
always been noted for their advance m
all new styles are very shy of taking the
lead in Hie distended skirts, and only
very few are made with stiffening in the
skirts, and they are of such material a
is most suitable for walking and visiting.
For summer and home wear the young
lady of today wants something that she
jean lounge in, and no sane person would
’ go! into a hammock with hoops or even
a stiffened skirt. There would be ro
boating, no tennis, no alpine climbing
or even plain, simple buggy rides possi- ]
ble, and this summer at least will see
our young girls dressed much us they
were last summer, with the exception of
the big sleeves and quaint headwear and
the almost omnipresent bretelles.
One of the best and most carefully
dressed young ladies in this city is Miss
Hewitt, daughter of ex-Mayor Hewitt,
and Miss Gunther, daughter of another
ex-mayor, is equally well known for her
taste in dress, and neither of these young
ladies intends to wear hoops or anything
approaching to them. Miss Gunther
has received a gown of navy blue china
silk without figures, and this is made
with four very narrow bias ruffles
around the bottom, with turned horns,
each having a narrow piping of baby
blue.
The waist is round and draped with
folds of the navy blue, with narrow pip
ings of baby blue wherever it can be put
in. It is surplice front. There is a full
raffle of the dark blue around the neck
lined with the light, and this falls so as
to leave the neck open very slightly in
front. The sleeves have loose puffs at
the top, and the lower part is shirred
and held by light blue round piping.
The hat that she w&ars with this is a
black straw, round and flat, with a large
Alsatian bow of blue and black ribbon
and a bunch of bluets.
N
NEW FANCIES IN JEWELS.
Miss Hewitt's prettiest dress is made
of china silk, old gold ground, with old
rose and olive green flowers over it.
Around the oottom is a deep flounce of
black chantilly, headed by a double ru*
fle of the dress material. Across the bus.
is a long scarf of black lace, which ties
in the back in a bow. and the ends reach
nearly to the bottom of the dress. The
upper sleeve is puffed, and the lower is a
deep ruffle of the lace only. The hat is
a wide brimmed rough straw iu.old rose
and is l-- : 1 ' • *"inimed with black lace,
with a few primroses apparently grow
ing there.
This idea I ha ve seen carried out on
many hats. There will be a little tuft
of grass, out of which peep little or big
j flowers, just as if planted there. The
idea is meant to be very artistic, but it
] -eeJly Anaa not armear the right one ex-
actly, us it rnukes one think of the heavy
flowerpot.
I want to speak of two more very
elegant gowns belonging to two other
society belles. One is of lavender India
silk, with purple asters and green leaves
upon it. The waist, sleeves and a band
at the foot are of soft green faille just
the color of the leaves. A pointed lace
bertha and ruffles ut the sleeves add
lightness to it.
The other is of tender apple green
India silk, with perfect anemones printed
upon it. Around the bottom is a lace
flounce, garnished with ribbon loops
and bows to match the color of the flow
ers. A green faille collarette reaches to
the point at the waist and is three shades
darker than the groundwork of the dress.
Ruffles of lace form caps to the sleeves,
which are made of plain silk. In the
! back there is a watteau drapery of lace,
forming a short train. These gowns are
quite handsome enough for any occasion,
except perha])s a ceremonious function.
Would you like to see some of the new
! designs in jewelry? A bowknot pin is
! made of a gold that looks exactly like a
1 satin ribbon and is set with 8 diamonds
I and 30 small pearls. This pin is indif
ferently used as collar lace pin or to
' fasten one’s watch with. Another pin ism
the shape of a dragon, his wings and body
! bi ing iridescent, with some kind of treat
l went to the gold. Over the head is a
crown set with pearls, diamonds or ru
! hies.
One I saw has emeralds at the top
and diamonds below and a dainty pin of
pearl and diamonds set in four of blue
enamel forgetmenots, with diamond cen
ters and pearl buds. A hairpin was cf
j dead gold in intricate pattern openworl
and large enough kp be called a comb
There was a sword hatpin of gold set
with many fine small pearls, three large
, ones and two emeralds. Emeralds and i
rubies are the most popular jewels except
diamonds. Topaz is preferred now to
any of the less expensive jewels.

WOMAN'S WORLD IN PARAGRAPHS.
A Wife Who Tried to Catch Her Runaway
Husband.
An incident at once pathetic and shock
ing occurred at a railway station in
Pennsylvania not long since. A negro
man told his wife he was going to leave
her and would never live with her any
< more. Then he strode off and boarded
Vie next train. The deserted woman
snatched up their little girl, 4 years old,
and followed him, reaching the platform
just as the train slowly glided away. She
attempted to climb upon*one of the cars,
although they were already In motion
Khe slipped and fell, and the wheels of t. e
rear car passed over her and the child. The
child’s legs were both cut off, and it died
in the hospital a few hours afterward. The
. mother was badly cut and wounded, but
may get well. It was a frightful scene, the
bleeding, mangled forms, the dying child
and the horrified exclamations of the
trainload of people who gathered about
them. It was the poorest possible way
to bring a renegade husband back, and
the unfortunate creature ought to have
known that. In the first place, she would
most likely have been better off without
him, on general principles. Negro men
of litis generation are not half so indus
trious as the women. Many of them lie
! down and grow fat on the money their
wives earn by washing and scrubbing.
They do not even repay their keep by
■ good treatment of- the women who sup
port them, but are as bossy and overbear
ing as the strictesfcbeliever m the subje
tion of wives would have them be. When
I the lazy, worthless black animal told
his wife he was going’to ran away from
j her, she should merely have answered
"Get out just as quick as you can, or I'll
help you out. 1 can earn a good living
for myself and my child, and I'm going
! to do it. Don't you ever come back here,
for not another bite will I ever cook for
you—now you mind.” The fellow would
have backed down quick if he had
! thought she really-meant it. No! Whiin
! pering and reproaches are no means for
! curing a recreant busband. Heroic treat
ment must be resorted to. I have seen
] some of them permanently cured by a
' dose of their own medicine. A husband
| who is inclined to flirt and be gay is
] kept in much better trim when he does
j not feel quite sure that his wife may not
do some flirting on her own account.
A writer wants dressmaking taught

I The ladies registered in unprecedented

Poor old Ohio! She is getting to be as

TILLETT WAS GUILTY
But He Wm Discharged from Custody,
Jxmdon, April 15.—Ben Tillett, the
well-known labor leader who was
charged at Old Bailey with having in
cited the strikers to riot in Bristol in
Decemls-r last, was found guilty today.
The jury added, however, that though
the prisoner was guilty of using words
calculated to cause riot, it was believed
the words were spoken on the spur of
the moment and were not intended to
provoke a breach of the peace. Justice
Cave said that a ride to the verdict was
tantamount to a declaration that the
prisoner was not guilty ns charged. He
therefore considered it his duty to dis
charge the prisoner. Th's decision was
greeted with cheers by Tillett's friends,
many of whom were in the court room.
The demonstration was promptly sup
pressed. i

Hood’s Sarsaparilla Gives Strength
and Overcomes Rheumatism.
“ There is nothing I have ever taken in my
life that did me so much good as Hood's Sarsa
parilla. I was in the Union army from ’6l to
’65; was confined in Andersonville prison eight
months, and the diseases contracted there still
linger. I had chills and fevers for years, and
my doctor told me that I must take 40 grains of
quinine a day for a long time. I did so, but
after a time it did me no good, and then he
ordered hop tea, which was as bitter as gail
and made me sick. Rheumatism then caught
mo In my left leg and I could not move it. The
doctor said
I Had Malaria.
Hood's Sarsaparilla did me so much good that I
have taken it ever since and it always does me
good. My friends tell me I look younger and
Hood’s

better than I did ten years ago. This makes me
Feel proud and I cannot praise Hood’s Sarsapa
rilla enough. My case was a bad one, but Hood’s

and lam naturally very grateful to it. I re
commend it to all the people whom 1 hear com
