PUBLISHED WEEKLY. “ GOSSIP. Hapniiis from Day to Day in me National Capital Appointments in the Various Depart ments—Proceeding's of the Senate. THE SENATE. The senate, Monday, began the fifth week of its extraordinary session with fair attendance of senators in their seats and with a large audience in the galler ic«. The rights of three senators from the states of Montana, Washington and Wyoming to seats in the senate was dis cussed in affirmation of that right by Mr Turpin. Another question as to a sena tor’s right to a seat was raised by the presentation of a petition from Joseph W. Ady, of Kansas, asserting that Mr. Martin, who was "worn i" senator from that state at the openin of this extraordinary session, was not duly elected and that be, Ady, now desires to bo admitted to the seat. Mr. Stewart presented resolutions of the Ne vada legislature in favor of the passa u of an act for refunding the indebtednes of the Central Pacific Railroad Company to the government, provided that the act did not interfere with the free and un limited coinage of silver—the principal argument being that if the property of the company should pass into the hand of the government it would be exempt from Btate aud local taxation. The rcso lutions were referred. Mr. Hour offered a resolution declaring it inexpedient to pass the joint reso lulion of the last house of represeuta tives for a con-tifutional amendment for the popular election of United States senators. The report of the committee on privileges and elections, in favor of the admission of the three senators sp pointed by the governors of Wyomie Montana and Washington was then taken and Mr. Tnrpie made an argument in support of it. He devoted a good deal of his argument to tfle meanin the words “vacancy” and “happening,’ as used in the constitution with referenc to the senate and coutended thut they were not to be construed in a narrow sense of an accidental occurrence, but must be re garded as used in the most geueral sense. When Mr. Turpie concluded his speech Mr. Vest took the floor to address the senate on the same subject, but yielded to a desire for an executive session. lie made a motion to that effect and the sen ate thereupon proceeded to the consider ation of executive business and after wards adjourned until Tuesday. At Tuesday session of the senate con aideration of the report of the commit tee on privileges and elections in favor of tho admission of the senators ap pointed by the governors of Montana, Washington and Wyoming, was Burned. Mr; Vest made an argument against their admission. Mr. Vest closed his speecli and Mr. Chandler obtained the floor at 1:15 p. m. The senate then on motion of Mr. Vance, proceeded to executive business. There were two speeches made in the late Wednesday on the question of the dmission of senators appointed by the governors of Montana, Washington and Wyoming, after tho legislatures of those states had failed to elect. Both were made by members of the committee on privileges and elections, and were on opposite sides of the question, and the speakers were Messrs. Chandler and Palmer. At the close of these speeches Mr. Peffer obtained the floor, and the matter went over until Thursday. At Thursday’s session of the senate Mr. Peffer made an argument in opposition to the right of the senators appointed by the governors of the states of Montana, Washington and AVyoming to take their seats in the senate; and Mr. Hoar com menced a speech in support of a resolu tion offered by him last Monday, declar ing the proposed constitutional amend ment for the election of senators by tho people of the several states inexpedient. Mr. Hoar did not conclude his speech. He yielded the floor in order to allow ac- tiou to be taken on the resolution for the election of officers of the senate. The resolution was agreed to without the formality of a division after the deliv ery of some half a dozen speeches (all but one coming from tho democratic side) in warm commendation of the char acter, ability and efficiency of the pres ent incumbents. The resolution was ngrecd to electing William R. Cox, of North Carolina, secretary of the senate; Richard K. Bright, of Indiana, sergeant- at-arms, and William II. Millburn, of Illinois, popularly known as the blind preacher, their term of office to begin on the first day of the meeting of the fifty- third congress, whether in extraordinary or regular session. Mr. Hoar yielded for a motion to proceed to executive business, and after that business was dis posed of, the senate adjourned until to morrow. ABOUT THE DEPARTMENTS.

It was stated Sunday that while Presi dent Cleveland has not directly notified the World’s fair committee on public ceremonies that he will be present at the opening of the fair, he expects to be able to accept the committee’s invitation to ba there. He has satisfied himself that public business will be in such a state of forwardness at that daU "hat he can lea e Washington for the few days it wifi require him to witness tie naval I arade at New York and start the ma chinery of the fair at Chicago. The senate, on Wednesday, confirmed the following nominations: William H. Seaman, of Wisconsin, United States district judge Eastern district Wisconsin James Blackburn, of Kentucky, mar-hal of the United States district of Ken tticky; Ezra W. Miller, of South Dakota attorney of the United States district of South Dakota; Felix A.

A Washington special of Sunday says As a result of the controversy between Mark W. Harrington, chief of the weath er bureau, and J. B. McLaughlin, ex chief of division of the bureau, Mr, Harrington has demanded of Secretary Morton an immediate and full invest) tion of the administration of the bureau McLanghlm was suspended by Harring ton for insubordination and recommend ed to the secretary for dismissal. Me I. au;hlin responded by filing charges of corruption against Harrington. The investigation is expected by the man agement of the bureau to be made at once. Secretary Carlisle is having prepared list of the employes of the treasury de partment with the salaries they receive and will have it arranged by states When completed it will show the number of employes credited to each state, the aggregate salary the people from the states receive, and a column showing apportionment the states should receive The list has been prepared already to such an extent as to show a great dis proportion among the states, some of the s ates having many more clerks than is allowed. The District of Columbia is credited with 1,000 out of 4,000 em ployes when its quota, it is said, should only be 11 per cent. Secretary Carlisle, it is understood, intends by every means in his power to reduce the District oj Columbia’s list of employes that the states may receive their proper quota of appointments. The senate was in secret session Mon day afternoon for more than a hour, and at the end of that time only a few post masters were given out as having been confirmed. This was, however, the most unimportant part of the session The Behring sea conference and the cases of the two governments were submitted to the senate, but not read. The Rus sian treaty was then taken up and de manded ihe attention of the senators for some time. The recent criticisms of this treaty in the newspapers of the country have given the instrument some thing of a political tinge, and the senate is no nearer a solution on the question— whether or Dot to release the injunction of secrecy—than it was a week or ten ago. The discussion hinges upon just what amount shall be made public. No conclusion was reached when the senate adjourned. The following nomination were sent the senate Monday: William Edmond Curtis, of New York, to be assistant secretary of the treasury, vice Genio M. Lambertson, resigned; Charles S. Ham lin, of Massachusetts, to be assistant secretary of the treasury, vice John A. Gear, resigned; James H. Eckies, of Illinois, to be comptroller of the cur rency; James F. Meline, of the District of Columbia, to be assistant treasurer of the United States; T. Strobo Farrow, of South Carolina, to be second auditor of the treasury; John B.

Thus the climax in the cele brated whisky forgery case of A. R. Sut ton & Co. was reached and a court of justice will say whether the two men are guilty. The Farmers’ and Drovers’ bank, which was caught for $15,000, swore out the warrants, aDd -other banks >ave signified their inteut oa of assist ng the pro-eciition. TELEGRAPHIC GLEANINGS.

Dan & Co. and Bradstreet Make Their Report for the Past Week. Bradstreet’s repott for the past week says: Cool and clear weather generally has improved the prospect for spring trade, but without an increase in distri bution. In the central western states a fair movement of merchandise is reported, although prospects are improved north west business continues retarded. The south remains quiet as heretofore. Re ports of improving trade characterize advices from western centers, where there are numerous arrivals of country buyers and orders for spring goods. In no previous spring have reports of the THROUGHOUT THE SOUTH NOTHING BUT JUDGMENTS Notes of Her Progress and Prosperity Briefly Epitomized South Americans to Visit Us.

Dispatches from Antlers, Indian Ter ritory, state that the insurance comna- nies cancelled all their policies on prop erty in that place Wednesday on account of threats to burn the town.

A terrible railroad accident occured oc curred Monday Dight on the Jacksonville Southern road about three miles south of Edwardsville, about near Gicncarbon, a mining town in Missouri. N \ 20, a freight going south, and No. 10, a pas senger going north, collided, completely wrecking the freight train, both engines aud a passenger car. Four men were killed and a number of others seriously wounded. The Chickamauga bill became a law by passage in the Ohio senate Wednes day. Captain McElroy, author of the bill, was the recipient of many congratu lations over the successful consumma tion of his great plan. The bill appro priates $90,000 for the purchase and ereclion of the monuments. Of this amount $5,000 is to be available August 1st next, $45,000 March 1, 1894, and $40,000 February 1, 1895. A careless tinner upon the of the Col lege Hill sanitarium in Chicago, Thurs day evening, caused a loss of from $100,- 000 to $150,000 of property and imperil ed the lives of 200 patients. A hot soldering iron was permitted to ignite the roof and the flames quickly got be yond the control of the waterworks of the institution as well ns that of the vil lage of College Hill. By heroic work all the patients were gotten safely out of the building. The sx'e of the huge Ferris wheel at the world’s fair grounds at Chicago was put in place Thursday afternoon, and dow hangs 140 feet from the ground awaiting the stand that is to be built around it. It is the largest steel casting ver made and weighs fifty-six tODS. The wheel is 240 feet in diameter. Tc its rim will be fitted swing cars for pas sengers. With the turning of the wheel the occupants of the cars will be lifted to a height of 270 feet from the ground, and will be afforded a view of the fair grounds and the city, A Chicago dispatch says: Chicago and Ohio river lines are the first to agree un reservedly on complete world’s fair rates and conditions. At Thursday’s meeting the following rates were unanimously adopted. For the world’s fair, round trip tickets to Chicago and return, for the regular business, shall be sold at the following named rates from the follow ing named points: Cincinnati, $12; Dayton, $11.50; Vincennes, $11.35; Lou The recent firmness of the market has developed into a decided tendency in prices to creep up in the face of narrow and inactive speculation. This address, much to the confusion of the bearish section of the professional traders, who rely upon the possibility of gold ship ments or of a squeeze in money in the ■withdrawals of the money for the apt settlements throughout the country dis tricts had created a considerable short ! interest. WHAT DUN BATS. R. G. Dun & Co.’s weekly review says: The fact of the largest influence in the record of the past week has been the in creased distribution of goods. The strin gency often seen about April 1st does not appear at New York, nor are other money markets close. But while im ports greatly exceed exports, it is not safe to calculate that the outgo of gold will not again disturb confidence. Hence the break in speculation has its hopeful side. Instead of rising after the close of the Lancashire strike, cotton fell 3-8 of a cent, which may accelerate exports, though stocks of American cotton in Furope are still a third larger than usual at this seasoD. Wheat at Chicago had a sudden fall of 7 cents in one day, but as prices there have been 15 to 20 cents higher than at other western cities and 8 cents higher than at New York, mar kets were little affected anywhere else. The price in Great Britain is the lowest ever known. Corn fell 2 1-2 cents with small sales, and oats 112 cents aud the break in hog products reached 75 per cent per barrel in pork, and 1 cent in lard. Exports in four weeks at New York have been $75,115,000 less than last year, indicating a total for the month not far from $76,000,000, while the increase in imports at New York alone has been about $115,000,000, indi eating a total for the month of more than $67,000,000. This great excess in imports, follow ing the excess of $36,000,000 in January and February, is the basis of doubts about the immediate monetary future. Failures in the first quarter of the year, 3,202 in number, were fewer than in either of the past years, and though in amount of liabilities larger, the average of liabilities is still quite low, less than $14,800. The iron and steel business is a shade firmer, with improved demand for bar plates and structural forms aDd then raffs do Dot sell. Bessemer iron is firm and steel stronger. The strength in the shoe trade is unabated. Copper is a shade weaker; heavy supplies of tin have checked the advance, while lead is a shade stronger. Coal is naturally weak with some dis satisfaction in the pool. Lumber and building material are everywhere in strong demand, but the week’s receipts of cattle at the west are rather small. At Pittsburg the demand for finished iron is large; glass is more active and the coal stock has ceased. Rolled and pig iron are in larger demand and high er at Cleveland, and in Cincinnati the har ness and carriage trades are fully at work. Trade at Detroit exceeds last year’s. Chi cago reports an increase over last year in the trade for the quarter. Collections have improved and the market is easier. Receipts of wheat and butter are larger than last year, but other products smaller, especially of grain and wool. Trade at Milwaukee is good, but collections unusually low. Minneapolis reports fair trade with a large output of flour, and at St. Paul more life. Busi Left for Ryan’s Creditors After the Lawyers and Costs Are Paid.

These various sums amounted to $52,000, which left $36,000 iu Receiver Kingsberry’s hands. Of this amount about $20,500 is in the Gate City National bank, and as yet can not be reached. This leaves $9,500 out side the bank,which is being distributed among the creditors who had claimed goods. When Ryan failed claims were filed for $180,000 worth of goods, which were reduced afterwards to $120,000. On ac count of these goods having Ryan’s name stamped up:>n them, and on account of their being shop worn, 65 per cent, of their value was ordered set aside, which was $78,000. These creditors represented by the $7S,000 will get all the money that is left, viz: the $9,500 in the receiver’s hands and the $26,500, in the Gate City bank. The other credi tors, whose claims amount to $280,000, will get nothing but judgements against Ryan. NAUGHTY PERU Will Probably Get Herself In Trouble for Insulting Uncle Sam.

A Bonded Warehouse Containing 1,200 Barrels of the Ardent Burned Out, At L misville, Ky., early Wednesday •vening, the bonded warehouse No. 303, it the distillery of Allcn-Bradley distil- 'ery company, together with 1,200 bar rels of whisky, was destroyed by fire. While four men were placing a barrel of vh'sky in one of the tiers of the ware house, tbe head of the barrel broke and the contents ran along the floor to a lun- tern and took fire. In an instant the warehouse was in a blaze, and the men were forced to fl e for their lives. When the firemen arrived the big brick warehouse was a roaring furnace. Barrel after barrel of whisky would ex plode, sending dimes seventy-five feet up in the air. The fumes from the burn ing whisky were so strong that the fire men could hardly go close enough with die hose to throw streams on the flames. Time and again the big distillery caught lire, blit the firemen, at the risk of their lives, managed to save it, In addition o the noise from the explosion of the 1,200 barrels of bourbon, seven thousand cattle in pens were bellowing and the roofs of the pens were on fire several limes. It took (be united efforts of five tire companies to keep the pens from burning. The distillery of the Anderson-Nelson company caught fire, hut was saved with but trifling damage, 'ihe whisky was value i at $600,000, and was owned by over two hundred different persons, and is thought to have been well covered by insurance, Tbe warehouse, valued at $30,000, was fully in-ured.

She denies that Judge Dubose offered her insult. Her reason for recanting, 6hc says, are that a member of the Law and Older League who promised her “good money” if she made the affidavit, anil “big money” if she had to go to Nashville to testify, has failed to pay her, though repeatedly im portuned to do so.
