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 Senator Hoar having withdrawn his motion to reconsider the vote agreeing' to the resolution offered some days ago I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 The motion to reconsider was withdrawn only on l the condition of having a yen and nay vote taken on the Roach matter before] adjournment.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. The Senate has confirmed the following nominations: Alex W. Terrell of Toxas, Ministei Plenipotentiary Io Turkey. John W. Biddle, Secretary of Legation to Turkov. Edward H. Strobel of Now York. Third Assistant Secretary of State. Daniel N. Morgan of Connecticut, Treasurer of the I’nited States. .Joseph S. Miller West Virginia. Com missioner of Internal Revenue. Conrad N.

Dyson Washington. Ga., Con way C. Floworee Vicksburg. Miss.: Rob ert G. Wright Waynesboro. Va.; Richard 11. Adams, Radford. Va. 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 I'nited States Government has com-la lied the treaty with the Government of Ecuador by 'which the Fnited Slates isj given the rid it to acquire i< , coaling station in the < I alia pin- ■s ’’ 'es, Hie position of vantage in the Pacific ocean ••ml so situat'd as to be -T vast ihmhs lance to naval vessels.

It is believed Hint it was sent to the senate thi< week and is. now in lue-s-sioii of that body awaiting ratiti cution. 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.

All Sorts of Talk About Torturing the 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.

THEY MAY BE VERY POPULAR NEXT SUMMER. New York Belle* Now I'rcpurlng Afternoon Dresses For Hie Country an<! Seusliore. 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. * T \ & *•« ZN £ ,P ilx / ; Pr i /i ’Mm /ij / -S I I 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. Henriette Rousseau. New York. 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 - as a branch of education to all the girls ]in the public schools. Should all the boys learn tailoring too? Speed the day when the abbreviated skirt and free motion for women’s feet | come in! W omen are sroinsr to see to it in Kan ] sas that tne impression uoes not get abroad that women are indifferent about I voting, in view of the approaching elec i tion when the wotpan suffrage amend : ment to the constitution will be decided. I The ladies registered in unprecedented numbers this spring, showing that they | meant to improve to the utmost the i school and municipal suffrage they al ready have. In Emporia 883 women i registered, against only 606 men. Wo ! men don't want to vote, don’t they? Mrs. M. V. Taylor, who died recently i in Pittsburg, had made a great success ! in the business of selling oil well sup plies. She was the only woman in this ' line of work in the country. Poor old Ohio! She is getting to be as fogyish a state as some of the tough old I original 13 themselves are. Her house ] of representatives has defeated school ! suffrage for women by a vote of 49 to 38. i Meantime strong, liberal, noble young ! states farther west are going ahead of i Ohio in prosperity and population. They ; will march ahead of her faster than ever now. Progressive, capable young wom en will go to states where there is a wider - field for their abilities. Eliza Archard Conner. THE PATENT VOID. Cincinnati, April 15.—1 n the suit by the Southern Cotton Oil Co. and Smith & Vail Co. to enjoin infringements of the Vaile patent for the process and the appar atus used in the manufacture of cotton seed oH and linseed oil. Judge Taft, of the United Stafes Circuit Court, today re fused the injunction and declared the pat ent void for want of novelty and patent able invention. The patent has been very ! extensively used throughout the whole 1 country and It Is said was sold at on- time j for a million dollars in stock. Hood's Sarsaparilla positively cures ! even when all others fail. It has a re ! cord of successes unequalled by any other I medicine. IT STOOD THE TEST. The Wire-Wound Gun Marks a New Era In Warfare. Birdsboro, Pa., April 15.—The first public test of the Brown segmental wire wound gun was made today in the pre* euce of Government experts, Representa tives of Foreign powers, and a numbetj of invited guests from Now York, Phila delphia and other cities. Three shots were fired and the gun •uceessfullj! withstood a pressure which the experts declared would blow any other gun in the world to ntotns. The test today broke all records and made a decided step forward in gun manufacture; plac ing the United States in the van in gun making as it. already is in armor plate manufacture. The tests today were in charge of Lieut. G. V. Whistler, of the Fifth Artillery. UnitM States Army John Hamilton Brown, inventor, assist ed. The gun hns just been finished as s sample for the United States Govern ment. It was built at the Diamond Drill works, at this place under person al supervision of .John Hamilton Brown, the inventor. It is built on ft new sys tem which is the winding of a steel wire around a segmental core of steel. The core is made of fwelve pieces of steel ninteen feet long and with a cross sec tion like the key of an arch. The core is three inches in thickness at the breech and three quarters of an inch at the muzzle. This is wound with thirty-throe layers of steel wire seven one hundredths of an inch in thickness. The gun is about fifteen inches in diameter at the breech and ten inches ut the muzzle. The total length of the wire used if thirtr-seven miles and weighs three and one-third tons.
