The house bill to provide for tho pub lication of the eleventh census was taken from the senate calendar Monday and passed. On presenting concurrent reso lutions of the legislature of South Dako ta for a constitutional amendment to have Lnited States senators elected by the people Mr. Pettigrew said in view of the 1 act that the legislature had been for several weeks endeavoring to clcci a United States senator and failed to do so, ho was heartily in favor of the new plan.

Consideration of the sundry civil appropriation bill was pro ceeded with, the pending amendments being those offered by Messrs. Manderson and Vest in regard to the site for the government printing < ffice building. That subject occupied two hours of the session aud the result was that various propositions in regard to it were voted down and that no provision at all Was made for tho building. An other subject which gave rise to fathet a heated discussion, was one in tefetence to the expense of the Soldiers’ Home; and that discussion drifted natur ally to the question of pensions, and a possible deficiency in the revenue from excessive appropriations. All amend ments increa ing appropriations for the soldiers’ homes were agreed to. The senate, Thursday morning, pro ceeded to the consideration of the diplo matic and consular appropriation bill. There was no item in the bill that gave J^se to any contest or discussion. As quicklycng the clerk could read a bill it was passed. The military academy ap propriation bill was then taken up. Tho bouse appropriations committee by unan imous vote authorized Chairman Hol man to move non-concurrence in all the senate amendments to the sundry civil bill and agree to the request for a conference thereon.

Brcdstreet’s review of trede for the past week says: Features of the general trade situation this week include a check to business South and in portions of the West and North, because of unfavora ble weather resulting in bad roads. The leading grocery staples, grain, cotton, pork, low grades of cattle and hogs, are lower in price, while advances are noted in print cloths, leather, bides, lard, sug ar, White pine lumber, rubber goods and Bessemer pig iron and steel at Pittsburg.

'In the bouse Monday, after an hour consumed in nuavailing filibustering, Mr. Geary, from the committee on commerce, moved to suspend the rules and pass the New Yoik and New Jersey bridge bill. The bill passed without the yens and nays. Tuesday morniug, the house iu com mittee rcsulncd consideration of the post- office appropriation bill. The pending section was that appropriating $100,104 for the uecessary and special facilities of trunk lines from Springfield, Mass., via New York aud Washington to Atlanta aud New Orleans. Mr. Dickerson of fered an amendment striking out the name of terminal point. It was not iutended to aid railroads in need of assistance, but it was for the pur pose of carryiug out the objects of the postotlice in regard to the expedition o foreign mills.to and from Havana. Mr Hooker defended the appropriation made in the bill. Mr. Hemphill spoke on the same line. Sir. Wise said that while he had not opposed the appropriation, he was not iu favor of it as it was now made. Mr. lilouut, of Georgia, speak ing in support • of the motion to stiike out the appropriation, said that among ihe masses of the people there was a de sire for special mail facilities. But there was a voice. It was a voice coming from the south, noith, east and west which spoke deep aud loud. That voice was for the retrenchment of public expenditures, aud the reduction of taxation which was impoverishing the country. The propo sition now made was to give a railroad system, which was already receiving more than $4,000,000, $190,000 addi tional. Ho protisted against it. Mr. Dickerson’s amendment wa3 rejected. On motion of Mr. Dingley, an amendment was adopted providing that none of the appropriation for special mail facilities should be expended nullss ihe postmas- general should deem such expendi ture necessary in order to promote the postal service. Then tho hour fixed for the consideration of the car coupler bill having arrived, the committee rose and Sir. Wise moved that the senate amendments thereto be concurred in. Filibustering against the bill at once begao, led by Mr. Richard son, of Tennessee. After some time Mr. Wise demanded the previous question on concurring in the senate amendment. Agreed to—184 to 31. Progress went no further, however, for the time, parli- mentar.v maneuvers preventing. The house of representa!iv>s had a be draggled look Wednesday morning. It was in sessiou all night—adjourning at 7 o’clock and meetiug again at 11. The afternoon aud night were spent in fili bustering to prevent the passage of the car-coupler bill. An agre. meat was finally reached to consider the matter Monday at the morning session. Not more thau two dozen members were in attendance when the house met. Mr. Kilgore,before the reading of the journal,madethe point of order that no quorum was preseut. ing the roll call Mr. Kilgore with- ‘tne point,aud the journal^ was read, motion of Mr. Jones, of Virginia, the nate bill was passed appropriating $11,000 out of the appropriations hereto fore made for the construction of a wharf by which access ein be had to the monu ment designating the birthplscs of George Washington. The postoffice ap propriation bill scored a victory over the anti-option bill motion to consider the carried by a more than t wo- opria a significant suggestion that the coffi- mittee on appropriations should re port it back at as early a day as pos sible, as he inteuded to have the senate amendments fully and fairly discussed in committee of the whole. Mr. Duthwaite called up the report on the army appro priation bill, and while ho was explain ing the measure Hiliary A. Herbert en tered the hall and modestly leaned over the acreen iu the rear of the chamber; But he could not escape the eyes that were in search of him, and the house spontaneously broke into applause aQd cheers, which lasted several moments, and which evidently came from the heart. Mr. Outhwaite, smil ing, bowed to Herbert and yielded bim five minutes of his time. And so Mr. Herbert was com pelled to come forth from his retirement. He was deeply moved by the cordial re ception given him, and his voice quiver ed as he said : ‘-The reception from men with whom I have associated and whom I have kuown so long touches my heart in a manner that I have no words to ex press. I can only 6ay that I thank you from the bottom of my heart.” This short speech was greeted with loDg and loud applause, and then Mr. Herbert held a levee in tho rear of the hall. The conference report was agreed to. Mr. Peel moved that the house go into a com mittee of the whole for the consideration of the general appropriation bills. This motion was antagonized by Mr. Hatch, who wished a consideration of the ami- option bill. Mr. Peele’s motion pre vailed. Yeas, 155; nays, 75; and con sideration. The Indian appropriation bill was then resumed. ] tions.

Ste venson Wednesday, March 1st. The celebration of Washington’s birth day in the capital was greatly curtailed by the severity of the weather. In Washington’s own town, the neighboring city of Alexandria, the celebration was entirely confined to the public schools. Recent events iu the west indicate that democrats will have enough members in the next senate to reorganize that body without outside aid. Still, if that aid should become neccessary it is pretty well settled that the populist senators will vote with the democrats. Mr. Pefft-r has given utterance to such a statement. The senate has removed the injunction of secrecy from the confirmation of Judge Jackson to be an associate justice of the supreme court of the United States, and has also confirmed the following nomi nations: G. H. Shields, of Missouri, agent of the United States under the treaty for the claims commission between the United States and Chile, August 7, 1892; A. W. Furgeson, of the District of Columbia, secretary on the part of the same commission. It Plfanes tho West. The appointment of J. Sterling Mor ton, of Nebraska, as secretary of agricul ture meets with general approval amoug the democrats in Washington. Repre sentative Brian, of Nebraska, says Mr. Morton has been identified with the history of his state since territorial days and is among the most illustrious of her efftizens. He has been a tariff reformer for many years and has, at various times, been the democratic candidate for governor, sen ator aud congressman, though always de feated. The senate spent several hours Wed nesday afternoon iu executive session on the Hawaiian treaty. Senator Morgan, one of the members of the Behring, sea arbitrating board for the United States, made a sirong plea for the annexation of the Hawaii islands, a plea tlut he has frequently made on the floor of the sen ate when the doors were not closed. The speech is spoken of as a masterly effort aud one of the greatest this distinguished senator and member of the foreign affairs committee has yet made on the subject of the foreigu policy of the United States. Herbert's Appointment Hive* Satisfaction. The announcement from Lakewood Wednesday night that Colonel Hilary A. Herbert, of Alabama, has been appointed secretary of the navy, meets with the ap proval of members of both houses of congress. The appointment was dis cussed about tlie hotels and all the southern numbers express themselves rs very much pleased. Colonel Her bert hi.s bceu a member of the house for sixteen years. He has made much reputation as chairman of the house naval committee by his earnest work towards building up a great Amer- ic u navy. Colonel llerbeit is popular with the members of the house and his appointment will have a decided tenden cy towards neutralizing the sting the ap pointment of Judge Gresham inflicted upon the members of the house. It is believed that he will be a strong factor in bringing Mr. Cleveland and the house into closer relations tha-u recent events would indicate tiiey will occupy. CINCINNATI FLOODED. Trade and Traffic of the City Seriously Interfered With. A Cincinnati special says: The river has assumed a threatening aspect. It continued to rise during Saturday night and all Sunday. From noon Sunday to 3 o’clock Monday morning it rose just one foot four and a half inches. The flood has created real alarm. Trade and truffic are interfered with. New port is already suffering in the lower streets. Mill creek is flooded almost lo the top of the banks and the water has crept into some cellars on the upper side of Front slreit.

Depression in cotton prices is reported responsible for some of the check to trading on the part of interior southern merchants. WHAT DUN SAYS. R.G. Dun & Co’s weekly review of business, says: The anxious efforts by banks for an issue of bonds by the treas ury and the refusal of the president to authorize it, caused apprehension and depression during most of the week. Discretionary power was finally given to Secretary Foster to issue bonds if it should become absolutely necessary, but it is stated that he belives no necessity ex ists. Moreover, quite a large purchase of securities on foreign account, are reported, which would cancel heavy ad verse merchandise baliances, and to that extent prevent gold shipments. Outside of financial influences, the course of business is undisturbed. Its volume is still large, though somewhat ' affected by recent storms, and there are I fewer signs than usual of unsound or un- STOLE $65,000.

An Olympia, Wash., dispatch says: The seventy-second ballot for United States senator Monday showed no result. There seems to be no prospect of break ing the deadlock. Both republican fac tions have unavailingly endeavored to break into the opposing ranks, while the democrats and populists are determined never to vote for a republican, A cable dispatch from Constantinople says: Five hundred houses in Kadikev were burned Thursday evening. More than three thousand people are homeless. The damage is estimated at 50,000,000 francs. Ihe English quarter was not touched by the fire. The sultan has or dered that the government officials give aid to the sufferers. The southern express on the Pennsyl vania road which left the Broad street station, Philadelphia, at 10:20 o’clock Wednesday morning, collided with the Morton, Pa., accommodation train near the South street station, West Philadel phia. Three cars of the accommodation train were wrecked and three persons killed and twelve others injured. A Harrisburg, Pa., dispacth says: Governor Pattison received the formal resignation of Chief Justice Paxson Tuesday morning. Judge Paxton re signs to accept the receivership of the Reading railroad. It was accepted and ordered filed in the department. Thera is no hint as to his successor, but the name of Judge Hejdrick is mentioned. Fire at Montreal, Canada, Monday af ternoon destroyed a large brick business block extending from William to St.Paul streets. The principal losers are Richard Smsrden’s boot and shoe factory, A.

The shifting engine was totally demolished and both engines lay on their sides with fourteen coal cars completely broken up. Three trainmen were killed and several others badly hurt. A Washington news special of Thurs day says: Messrs. Thurston, Castle and Carter, members of the special Hawaiian annexation commission, have determined to remain in Washington until the sen ate disposes of the treaty of annexation now pending before it in one way or an other. It has been their intention to sail from San Francisco for Honolulu on the 3d of March next, but within the points collections are somewhat slow. At most southern points business shows some improvement and is fair for the season, though the movement of cotton is small and prices are somewhat lower. In the iron trade no distinct improve ment is seen, for while business is large, prices are entirely demoralized by the in tense competition. Rails are an excep tion, for 75,000 tons have been sold without a reported change in price, and structural works are well employed, though at very low prices, but the de mand for plates is not up to tho capacity of the works, and bar iron is quiet and weak. The financial outlook depends largely upon this fact that exports of principal products in January were $29,000,000 smaller tbau last year, while imports at New York alone were $17,000,000 larg er than last year, which indicates a considerable excess of imports for the month, and explains the heavy outgo of gold. In February thus far, exports from New York have been but little below last year’s, though at cotton ports very much smaller, and mean while imports show an enormous in crease—over 30 per cent. The excess of imports over the exports seems to have mo.re to do with shipments of gold at present than any anxiety about currency, which, nevertheless, renderB investors extremely cautious aud orders many from new enterprises. But those who dread disaster may well note the healthy char acter pf trade and the unusual conserva tism of buyers, aud remember the rule, that a panic that is expected never comes.

A New York special says: Wall street was treated again Mouday to a continua tion of enormous liquidation in Reading, and transactions in thRt stock were even greater than on the preceding Iwo days of the break, very closely approximating a million shares in that one stock alone. Further concession in its prices were on a parity with the amount of business done, 8 5-8 per cent marking the extreme decline, and at the close it was only 2 per cent better, showing a net loss of 6 5 8 per cent for the day. A HEAVY DECLINE. It early became whispered that a re ceivership must follow, and a decline of marly 7 per cent, was established, but reas-uring dispatches from Philadelphia started the covering of shorts, and a rally of over 2 per cent, was brought about. The official announcement of the fact followed,' however, and a drop of 4 per cent—to the lowest price of the day - was the immediate result. The excite ment attending the enormous transaction was great indeed, but was not so pro nounced as tlie immense figures would seem to indicate. Wall street is, as it were, a spectator of the contest, and seemingly has nothiug to lose which ever party becomes the victor, and three days of extreme depression of Reading and its allied stocks, followed by a period of de pression among the Industrials, has fail ed to cause a single failure on the street. RECEIVERS APPOINTED. A Philadelphia special says: The af- past few days they have changed their ; fairs of the Philadelphia and Reading minds. A special from Cheyenne, Wyo., says A. C. Beckwith, democrat, a citizen of Evanston and the wealthiest man in Wy oming, will be United States senator for the next two years. His selection for that office was announced by Governor Osborne Thursday evening. It became necessary to appoint on account of the legislature adjourning without electing. The leading candidates were New and Thompson. They and their supporters-; made such a sharp fight that the govern or thought to make the least troubli by overlooking both of them. Railway Company were brought into court late Monday afternoon. All day there were rumors on the street that re ceivers were to be appointed. Officers of the United States court were constant ly besieged by newspaper men and par ties interested in Reading matters, who were eager to obtain the last news. About 2:30 oclock Monday afternoon Attorney John G. Johnson and Lawyer Thomas Hart, Jr., made their appear ance and were closetei a long time with Judge Dallas in chambers. At 4 o’clock the announcement was made that Judge Dallas had made the appointment. The receivers appointed are Archibald A. McLeod, president of the company, Chief Justice Edward 31. Paxsoo, of the supreme court, and Elisha Wilber, ex- Kas i The Lewis Redwine, the assistant cashier of the Gate City National bank, of At- tlanta, Ga., is a defaulter to the amount of $65,000, and bis whereabouts are un known. Wednesday morning the Clear ing House association, of which the Gate City bank is a member, held a meeting for the purpose of ascertaining the Gate City bank’s condition and in quiring into the amount of Redwine’s shortage. The following official state ment was made: “As near as we can ascertain Jlr. Red- wine's shortage will amount to about sixty-five thousand dollars, certainly not over that amount. We have not quite finished our work, but have gone far enough to say that the Gate City bank can pay the depositors every dollar it owes them, and also pay its stockholders in full. Redwine must have taken fifty of the sixty-five thousand dollars within the la9t two days, and may have walked out of the bank with a roll of several thousand dollars. How the defalcation was made we have been unable to dis cover, and the bank officials think it may have been carried on for years. Now about the bank’s condition, we wish to say that the surplus amounts to fifty thousand dollars and the undivided profits to thirteen thousand. This, with the bond for ten thousand, makes seventy-three thousand, or about eight thousand over and above tho defalcation. The bank is all right, and can pay every thing it owes.” The way in which the defalcation discovered is this: When Red knew that the bank examiner was in city he borrowed, as he had the right to do as a cashier, about twenty-five thou sand dollars from the other banks, which is often done. This covered the short age up. The fact of his borrowing the money was mentioned in some way to President Hill. The investigations made by 3Ir. Hill led him to see that Redwine was short to a large amount. REDWINE ESCAPES. While the assistant cashier was work ing at his desk Mr. Hill sent for him to come into his private office. Redwine replied that he would be in there iu a moment, as soon as he had finished run ning up a column of figures. When through with this work the young man, without his hat, stepped out into a back hall and went down stairs into the saloon underneath the bank. Un der pretense of going out upon the streot for a few moments ho borrowed from the bartender a hat, he made his way out of the saloon and disappeared in a most mysterious manner. Although the most diligent search has been made by the police and detective department for him nothing has been heard of him since. The announcement that he was short in his accounts and had left the city to escape arrest fell like a thunder clap among his friends, for he has always borne the best of reputations and has been one of the shining lights in the so cial world. His downfall is attributed to the fact that he aspired to be a leader in the social circles and lived beyond his means. It is said that Redwine’s crooked ways began four of five years ago, but he has managed by a skillful manipulation of Ihe funds and figures in his keeping, to cover up his (racks. The investigation of the bank’s books showed Redwine’s defalcation to be about $85,000. The withdrawal from their cash supply of such a sum of money rendered the continuation of business impossible. The bank affairs will be closed up by an agent of the United States government, who will be appoint ed by the comptroller of the currency, according to the national bank act. At 11 o’clock Wednesday night President Hill telegraphed Comptroller Heph, at Washington to take charge of the bank. This means that the business of the bank will be closed up at once. The deposi tors will receive their money as quickly as the assets of the bank can be realized on. At 12 o’clock Wednesday night Pres ident Hill gave out the following an nouncement : To the Publio and Depositors with the Gate City National Bank—The serious defalcation of our late assistant cashier, Sir. Louis Redwine, having so depleted our supply of cash, we do not feel warranted in attempting to continue business, bat deem it for the best interests of botb depositors and shareholders to close our doors and ask the comptroller of the currency to take charge of the baDl and its affairs. While we regret more than we express the necessity for this step, aud more especially the inconvenience to which our depos itors and patrons will be subjected, we are cheered by the conviction that it will take but a very short time for their claims to be paid in full. With thanks unspeakable to our many friends for their assurances of confidence and support, we regretfully yield to the misfortune whic h we conld not avert. L. J. Htll, President. A. W. Hill.

The funeral of General Beauregard at New Orleans, Thursday, was one of the largest and most iirposiog ever witnessed in the city. All of the exchanges were closed as a mark of respect to the de ceased general, while business in the courts and other public offices was vir tually suspended. Early in the morning the family of the general arrived at the city hall aDd assigned a room adjoining the council chamber, where the remains lay in state. All day a constant stream of people poured through the city hall to get a last glimpse of the form of the well-known soldier. A detail of vet erans assisted the regular police force in keeping order. Among those who arrived to take part in the ceremonies were Governor Foster aud party from Baton Rouge, members of Raphael Semmes’ Camp of Confeder ate Veterans from 3Iobile, and Colonel J. B. Hereford and General Cabal), of the trans-Mississippi department. The cortege moved from the city hall a little after 3 o’clock for Metaire ceme tery. The flag with which General Beauregard was presented by 3Irs. Carey in Baltimore at the opening of tho war, and which he donated to the Washing ton Artillery a few years ago, was placed on the coffin by that command. The ceremonies were elaborate in character and the obsequies partook of the nature of a military and civic de monstration. The military formed on LaFayette square as follows: Washing ton Artillery, Continental Guards, Fifth Battalion, Fourth Battalion, Third Bat talion, Louisiana Field Artillery, Army of Northern Virginia in double column. Oa the right of the hearse was the army of Teunessee; on the left and abreast was the Army of Northern Virginia. Following the Army of Northern Vir ginia came the Washington Artillery camp, te the rear of the$h camp No. 9 and camp No. 10 of the Army of Ten- nesse. The entire command consisted of veterans and militia, and was under command of Brigadier General Euclid Boreland, himself a veteran of the Army of Northen Virginia. The veterans were iu charge of Colonel A. A. JIaginnis. The active pallbearers were General George Moorman, adjutant of General Gordon; General Wright Schaumberg, adjutant general of Lieutenant General Smith; General John Glynn, jr., com manding the Louisiana division of the United Confederate Veterans; Colonel W. R. Lyman, commander of camp No. 1; Colonel J. B. Vine!, commander of camp No. 2; Colonel W. L. Vmcent, commander of camp No. 9; Colonel B. F.

Its First Annual Convention in Wash ington City. The first annual convention of the American Bimetalic League was called to order in Washington Wednesday morn ing by its president, General A. J. War ner. About fifty delegates from western states were present, among them General Weaver, candidate for president of the people’s party, accompanied by Mrs. Mary Lease. Mr. Warner stated ihe aim of the league to be the securing of legisla tion for the free and unlimited coinagfe of silver. Three sessions were held. Among the speakers were 3Ir. Warner, General Weaver, Mrs. Lease, Senator Stewart, Col. A. C. Shinn, of Kansas; Mr. Bland of Missouri; Representative- elect Sibley, of Pennsylvania, a free coin age democrat; 3Ir. Hatch, of Missouri; and J. W.

A London cablegram of Sunday says: Princess Kaiulani sends the following: address to the American people: '**' ^ ‘To the American People—Four years ago. at the request of Mr. Thurston, then Hawaii n’a cabinet minister, I was sent away to England to be educated privately and fitted for the posi- tioniwhich-by the constitution of Hawaiia, 1 was to inherit. For all these years I have patient ly, and in exile, striven to fit myself for my re turn, this year, to my native country. I am now told that Mr. Thurston is in Washington asking you to take away my flag and my throne. No one tells me officially. "Have I done anything wrong that this wrong should be done to me and my people? "I am coming to Washington to plead for my throne, my nation and my flag- Will not the great American people hear me? “Kaiulani.” REPLY TO KAIULAXI’S ADDRESS. A W’ashington special says: Ihe Hawaiian envoys, both of the deposed queen and provisional government, spent part of the day Monday at the capitol in conference with several senators. Thurs ton, of the Hawaiian commission, has given out a statement in reply to thee message to the American people from Princess Kaiulani, heir apparent to tho, Hawaiian throne, telegraphed from Lon don. Thurston calls her Miss Cleghoru and says he had nothing to do with send ing her to England to be educated; that she went to England about 1887. At that time she was not heir to the throne and bad no standing under the constitution of Hawaii, Kalakaua was then king, w«r ex-Queen Liliuokalani, his sister, was by law heir. By Kalakaua’s death she came to the throne in February, 1891. She then had power to nominate her success or, subject to the ratificarion of the house of nobles, which was done about March 1, 1891.

Walker, the British con sul at Honolulu,and his business partner, T. H. Davies, is her business agent and has control of her in England.
