The Union Garment Workers in Baltimore Walk Out. Fonr thousand of the six thousand garment workers of Baltimore, who are members of the American Federa tion of Labor, went out on striko Thursday and 2,000 more will join them. The' striko is the result of the re fusal of the clothiers’ board of trade to agree to employ none but members of the Garment Workers’ Union.

Petersen and H. Johansen, late captain, firei mate and second mate of the steamer Horsa, were convicted in the United States district court at Philadelphia of .en gaging in a Cuban filibustering expe dition. ■ Counsel for the defendants gave notice that they would make applica tion for a new trial, and, pendiug-the disposition of this move, sentence was suspended. The convicted seamen were placed in charge of the United States marshal. Off for Africa. With the cheers frotp thousands of other negroes, ringing, in their ears, 3ll negroes, representing half a dozen southern states, started from Savan nah, Ga., Sunday ufteruoon for Lube- rip, where they will settle on land | provided by the government ot that j c ] er California constitution, republic Doings of the Chiefs anti Heads ol tlio Various Departments. The comptroller of tho currency has issued a call upon national batiks for a statement of their condition at the eloso of business on Friday, February 28, 1896. Tho senato committeo on privileges and elections by a strict party vote de cided to report a substitute for tho resolution introduced by Souator Alien asking for an investigation into tlio election methods in Alnbnmn with especial reference to the eloction of tlio legislature which eU-eted Senator Morgan. Tho coast dofouso committeo lias de cided to amend tho bill fora system of fortilicatious so ns to expoud $10,000,- 000 l>y Juno 3, 1897, but making any part of that sum at once available. The bill woh also amended so as to allow contracts for completion of all projects and appropriations to be mndo annually of $10,000,000 for the work. The senate lias passed tho bill for tho increase of tbe navy by 1,000 en listed men, for the calling out and en listment of tho naval militia in easo of emergency and for tho chartor of troop transport ships in case of emergency. Mr. Hale, who urged tho lull, said that ho did not think war was immi nent, but in view of the course of the United States he regartlod tho emer gency clause as desirable. Tho Cuban resolutions, which passed the senato amid so much enthusiasm, were transmited to tbo house Saturday morning and referred to the commit teo on foreign affairs. They will prob ably lie reported back in a few days and adopted by tho house without much debate. Everybody is in favor of tlio recognition of tho belligerent right of Cubans. No time will bo lost in tlie house in acting in tho matter. A Washington special says: On tho authority of a gentloman who onjoys the personal confidenco of tlio presi dent as fully ns any ono living, the stntepeut is made that if eongjoBs ad journs without financial legislation along tho lines suggested by Mr. Cleveland, ho will call a speoial ses sion and force tho issue upon the country ns boing one question of par amount importance. Tho announcement of Judge Crisp as a caudiduto for tho senate from Georgia was no great surpriso to his colleagues ami friends in congress. Scores of them havo called upon him to extend their congratulations nnd best wishes. Tho democrats of tho house regret his announcement, be cause in him they recognize a leader whose place cannot well ho filled. Yet to him personally nil manifest tho greatest friendship and interest and wish him sucoess. Smallpox In Armenia. A long telegram has been received by Secretary Olney from Minister Terrel], at Constantinople, telling of great distress in Armenia. lie says that tho inhabitants of Zei- toun and its vicinity arof-uffering from tho ravnges of smallpox and other dis eases, and from want of food. Belief expeditions aro fitting out ns fast ns possible. Tho progress is, however, necessarily slow and uncertain because the valleys are deep in mud and al most impassable, while tho mountains are filled with snow nnd the weather is unusually cold. Tho English vico consul at Zeitoun has sent relief to Harpoot nnd the sultan has issued an imperial decree forwarding protection and facilities to Miss Clara Barton. The Cabinet Called Together. A special from Washington says that the Spnnibh-American situation grow ing out of tbo reports of the riots in Barcelona nud other cities in Spain was regarded so serious by the presi dent that he decided to convene a spe cial meeting of tho cabinet Sunday night. Secretary Olney was promptly ad vised of the outbreaks in 'Madrid, Barcelona and other places in Spain by Minister Taylor gnd tho American consnls. Ho hastened to the white house and laid before the president all the dispatches ho hud received. Secretary Olney submitted a com munication which created profound urprise. It was a message from tho Spanish minister of foreign affuirs in Madrid, insisting that the United Staeos government disavow tho action of the senate as a condition precedent to continued friendly relations betweon the two government. Sirs. Stanford Wins Her Case. The supreme court has decided tlio Stanford case in favor of Mrs. Stan ford. Justice Harlan delivered the opinion. The Stanford case is that of the United States vs. Jane L. Stauford, executrix of Leland Stauford, deceas ed. It involved tho individual liabil ity of stockholders in tho Central Pa cific railroad company, for tho debt due to tbp United States on the bonds sued in aid of the Central Pacific un- Mr. Stanford held 1,387 shares of the Central Pacific stock, and it was claimed by tho government in insti tuting its suit (hnt tho government was entitled to collect $15,373,000 from tlio Stanford estate. This contention was resisted by Mrs. Stanford on iho grounds that the Cali fornia constitution was not self-exe cuting and also on the ploa that it was the intention of congress in granting aid to tho Central Pniifio company, to put it ou n footing different from the footing on which other government- aided railroads were placed. Classed as Lotteries. Attorney General Harmon lias sub mitted to Postmaster General Wilson a decision to tho effect that tho numer ous bonds nnd investment sehomos conducted throughout the country are lotteries and not entitled to tlio privi leges of the mails. Tho test eases sent to Attorney Gen eral Harmon by Postmaster General Wilson were those of Hie Pettis Coun ty Bond Investment. Company, of So- dalia, Mo. ; Tontine Association, of Minneapolis; Columbia Investment C mnnnv. of Cinrinnnt' : N'itio»ol („ vestment Company, of Cincinnati; tlio National Investment Company, Wash ington, and tlio Southern Mutual In vestment Company, of Lexington, ICy. Attorney Goneral Harmon in his opinion considered chiefly the ease of tho Pettis Investment Company, tlie most important ono nrguod boforo tho department, and which tlio attorney general says covers all the othors, which aro oliko in general design, and differ only in details and methods. They induce subscription for bonds by holding out their chance for receiving largo sums for small payments, tho chance depending on tho numbering of the bonds. Without the ever pres ent clinneo of speedily gotting much for little not ono of tlicso companies would attempt to do bnsiuess or stio- ceod in tlie attempt. HUNTER GIVES UP. IIo Withdraws From the Senatorial Fight in Koiitucky. A special from Frankfort, Ky., says: TheWornor-TompkiuH oleotion easo again occupied the attention of the house until 12 o’clock Saturday, when further consideration was cut off 1 by tho joint sossion. The sensation of tho day was the withdrawal of I)r. Hunter. 'It camo in tho form of a lotter from tlio repub lican nominee, addressed to tho re publican members and withdrawing from tho contest. _ Tho letter was read by Representative Lyons, of New port. In liis letter Dr. Huntor depre cated the unfortunato complications witli which he and his party luuU lioen hampered during tho long contest, hut returned his grateful acknowledgments to thoso who had stood by him with so. much loyalty. The withdrawal of Hunter caused the wildest excitement, It was taken to moan that he realized that further desertions would occur and that rather than prolong tho agony ho would get off now and not wait until 1m was forced. Tlio Blackburn people wore smiling. Tlioy voted for tho nominee with enthusiasm. Tlie ballot was then ordered called. It developed the fact that no ono as yet had been decided on by tho republican contingent as a unit. Beeauso of tho number of candi dates the announcement of tho result of tlio ballot was delayed for .some time, although it was known at once that there had been no election. Tito ballot resulted ns follows: Blackburn, fil ; Bonnet, 4 ; Brunarn, 0; H. II. Stone, 8; Deboo, 7; Holt, 8; Finley, 7; Pratt, 2; Dyeho, 2; Hun ter, 4 ; Worthington, 2; Bl'anford, 3; Buckner, 5; Carlisle, 1, and tho rest scattering. TH E 54TII CONGRESS. ROU'I INK OF HOUSE AND SENATE BRIEFLY CHRONICLED. Summary of Hills and Resolutions Presented and Acted Upon. THE HOUSE. After an hour’s debate Saturday tho house-passed over tho president's voto tlio bill authorizing the leasing of school lands in Arizona by a voto of 200 ta38. Tho house tlion, in com mittee of tho whole, undor tlio iivo- minute rule, resumed consideration of the legislative, executive nnd judicial appropriation bill for tlie yoar ending June 30, 1897. Consideration of tlio bill was com pleted, save tlio paragraphs oovoring compensation for the United States district attorneys nnd marshals. A few uuimportant amondnionts wero made to the lull. Tho paragraphs re maining will bo further considered Monday whou tho new salary law for thoso olfioos, prepared by the commit tee on tbo judioiary, will lie offered as an amendment to tho bill, under an order agreed to relieving it from' tlio op eration of tlio new rule which pro hibits tlio addition of now legislation to appropriation bills. At 5 o'clock tho house ndjournoil until Monday. THE, SENATE. At tho opening of, tire senate Thurs day Rev. Dr. Millmri), tho blind chaplain, ", made eloquent reference to INVESTIGATION ENDS. The His Governor Will Announce Decision Later. Tlie convict investigation brought to a close Thursday afternoon and Governor Atkinson announced that he would couvono tho court at a later day and would announco the do cision at that time. The total cost of this investigation will become less than has been gene rally supposed—under $2,000. This is about the same cost as that for the in vestigation held liy Governor Gordon, which lasted about a week, while this one has lasted eighteen days. When Colonel Hammond and Judge Adamson took the easo for the stato they calculated that tho investigation wonld not last over a week. They contracted with Governor Atkinson to represent the state for $750, each to receive $375. Afterwards an amend ment to tho original Dill was filed, cit ing tho necessity of more work and it is probable that tlio governor will in crease tho sum to about $500 for each of tho attorneys. There wero two stenographers tak ing tho testimony and there will be about 30,000 words in it, which will cost not less than $300. Mr. John M. Ellis received $72 for acting ns sergeant-at-arms for, tho eighteen days uud tho witnesses were paid $256.81. the death'of Mr. Slianklin, a votoran employe of tho senate. The argument of tho contested elec tion case of Van Horn vs. Tarsnoy wns then" resumed. An agreement was announced that tho vjte would bo taken at 4:30 p. m. Befor e tho debate had proceeded far tho proceedings wero interrupted by Mr.' Hitt, republican, of Illinois, who roported from the oommittco on for- oigu affairs resolutions, relative to Cuba, as a substitute for tho various propositions referred to tho committee. Mr.Lodgo gave notioo that he would offer as a substitute for tho peuding resolution tlio resolution reported in the utilise from tho coihuiittoe on for eign 51 flairs. A resolution was roported from tho committeo ou contingent expenses to authorize tho committee ou coast do fanses to take testimony nud to visit such piuoes as may bo necessary. Bills appropriating $500,000 for two first-class steamers for tho Pnoific const and $100,000 for a public build ing at Newport Nows, Vn., woro pnssed. Also tlio army appropriation bill, with no greater delay than that ennsod by its being rend in full. It appropriates over $23,000,000, and is tho fifth of the annual appropriation bills that have passed tho senaio. At 5 o’clock j). m. tho senate adjourned until Fri day. By a voto of 64 to 6 tho sonato of tho United States put on record Fri day its views and policy in relation to tho existing revolution in Cuba, in tlio following resolutions: Resolved, by tlio sonato (tho house of representatives concurring), That in tho opinion of congress, a condition of public war exists between tho govern ment of Spain and tho government proelamed and for somo time main tained by force of arms Dy tho people of Cuba; and that tho United States of America should maintain a strict neutrality between the contending powers, according to oach all the rights of belligerents in the ports and territory of the United Stutos. Be it further Resolved, That the president ishero- by requested to iuterposo his friendly otliees with tho Spanish government for tho recognition of tho independence of Cuba. Mr. Mitchell, republican, of Oregon, chairman of tlio committee on priv lieges and elections, gave notice of his intention to briDg boforo tho senate tho election case of Mr. Dupont for the state of Delaware immediately after the conclusion of tho morning business on Wednesday next. Other routino matters were consid ered and tho senate adjourned until Monday. Chairman Hitt, of tho house com mittee on foreign affairs, after a con ference with Speaker lteod, decided to call up the Cuban resolutions in the houso Monday. The resolutions woro passed by 263 to 16, after a lengthy debate. They are somewhat milder than tlio senate resolutions and aro the more likely of the two to be agroed on in conference. BAILORS WERE COWARDLY. Tho Steamer Alisa Sunk In Collision l>y Laliourgogne. A New York spooiolsays: Tlio steam ship Ailsa, of tho Atlas lino, was ;8unk about 2:30 Saturday afternoon, by'tlio steamship LaBourgogne, of tho Geu- oralo Trans-Atlautiquo' line, ’bound for Havre. "’ 1 1 1 Tlie Ailsa had sailed, from Now.York en routo to Kingston, Jtunaoia. Ow ing to tho douse fog, tho Ailsa oamo to anohor just at the south mouth of tho Narrows. Immediately after striking tho Ailsa, tearing out a largo portion of her side, La Bourgogno backed' out and, aftor disengaging horsolf, proceeded on her way, without making tho slightest of fer to rendor assistance to tlio Ailsa, which filled and sunk almost immedi ately. Tlio captain, passongors and part of tho crow took to tho rigging,' from'which tlioy wore rescued by tho tug Harold, which happened to bo in the vicinity at tho time. Tho Harold bIbo picked up iator a part of tho crew from a small boat belonging to the Ailsa. As far as oan bo learned, tho La Bourgogno suffered little or no injury from tho impact. Tho crow and jias- sougers of tho sunken steamer wero landed at tho ship nows oilico of tho United States by the tug. lii intorviows with the passengers of tho ill-fated vessel it was learuod that the crew of tho Ailsa bohnvedina most brutal aud cowardly manner. It is assorted that whon tho La Bourgogno struck tlio Ailsa the crow, instead of trying to assist, scorned to bo inspired with only tho desire to savo themselves. Tho Cubans in Washington aro much pleasod with tho uction of tho sonato, aud want tho houso to do likowiso at onoo. Tho goneral impression among tho influential friomls of Cuba at tho capital not directly connected with the movement iu an oflicial sense is that Spain will plaoo relianco in the president and depend upon him to forestall the effect of any legislation that may be euaotod. HOUSE IS FOR CUBA. RESOLUTIONS PASS AY A VOTE OF 280 TO 17 AGAINST. Senate Will Probably Concur at tho Earliest, Moment. Tho houso of representatives voted Monday ou tho Cuban resolutions, re ported by the committeo ou foreign affairs, and adopted them by a voto of 263 to 17. Tlio full text of tho resolution is os follows: “Resolved, by tho houso of repre sentatives, tlio sonato concurring, That in tho opinion of congress a state of public war exists iu Cuba, the par ties to.-whioh aro entitled to beliiger- ont rights, and tlio United States should observe a strict neutrality be tween iho belligerouts. Resolved, That congress deplores tho destruction of life and property caused by tho war now waging iu that island, and behoving that tlio only permanent solution of the contost, equally iu the interest of Spain, tho people of Cuba, nud other nations, woulcl bo in tlio establishment of a governmont by tho choice of tho peo- plo of Cuba, it is the seuso of eon- gross that tho government of tho United States should use its good of fices nnd friendly influence to that end. Resolved, that tho United Statos bus not intervened in the struggles be tween uny European governments aud their colonies ou this continent, but from the very eloso rejatious betweon Iho people of the United States aud those of Culm, in consequence of its proximity and the extent of tho com merce between tho two people, tho present war is eutailing such losses upon tlio people of tho United States hat congress is of the opinion that the government of tho United States should bo prepared to, protect the legitimate interests of our citizens by intervention if necessary. FINANCIAL POLICY Outlined by a Committee of the N. Y. Chamber of Commerce. A spocial committee of tho Now York chamber of commel'ciVon sound financial legislation met Thursday af ternoon in pursuance of instructions to outline a financial policy to bo fol lowed by the chamber during the com ing presidential campaign. The fol lowing resolution, presented by Mr. Gustav Schwab, was unanimously adoptod: “Resolved, That it is tho souse of this oommittco that tho agitation iu favor of tho maiutainance of tho pres ent standard of value aud against the froe coinage of silver should bo prose cuted with vigor.” The following, presented by Mr. Richard Young, was also adopted: “Resolved, That it be referred to the executive committeo with the recom mendation that they propare and sub mit to tbo chamber of commerce an address inviting tho co operation of all commercial bodios and of all business men-in the movement to soouro tho adoption by tho national conventions of both greatqiolUieal parties of un equivocal declarations in favor of the maintenance of tho present standard of value. It was generally believed that Soo- rotary of the Treasury Carlisle wonld appear boforo tho committee and speak on American finances, but Mr.Carlisle did not rnuko his appearance. THE REFORM EDITORS A NKW SALVATION ARMY. Mr. uud Mrs. Hootli Will Orgnnlzo Forces of Tlieir Own. A New York dispatch says: A new Salvation Army is to bo organized by ex-Commauder Balliugton Booth and his wife. It is the result of tho recent conflict between tho goneral in England and his son in America who built up tho organization aud who was summarily dismissed for refusing to abandon tho work iu this country to which ho had devoted himself for so many years. Balliugton Bootli and his wife have given out a statement in which they say among other things: “Wo cannot close our eyes to the fact that wo havo another allegiance; we aro not our own and cannot dispose of our lives and influences to please ourselves. God lias called us to work for him. We dnre not, thoreforo, ro- main idle.” CORBETT IS ANXIOUS. lie Chullongos Fitzsimmons to Flglit Anywhere iu the World. James J. Oorbott has sent the fol lowing challenge to Robert Fitzsim mons : “When I retired from the ring it was with tho distinct understanding flint if the ohnmpionship was won by a foreigner I should reclaim it.

Tlio governor declined to call the extra sossion and gives as reasons that four-filths of the people of the state do not want tho legislature of 1895 in session again; that the body was given an opportunity to pas3 a constitutional hill and that the peti tion did not have a majority of the members of either branch of the legis lature.
