Operatives at Columbus, Ga., Still Hold Out. A special from Columbus, On., says: Every hour widens the breach between the striking operatives at the Eagle and Phenix mills and the managers. Thero aro no new developments further than the continued firmness of both sides aud the increasing seriousness of the situation. The mill operatives liavo formed a union and they are determined, they claim, not to return under the scale of wages proposed by tho mill men and the latter say agnin and even more emphatically that they will not change their original intontions. Conferences aro being held between tho business men and mill managers, looking to nn adjustment of the dif ferences hut it is safe to say that a settlement is no nearer reached than on Suturday last when the strike was first called. The condition of the operatives will soon he serious. They have, with hardly an exception, sjient the money as they made it and aro comparatively without means of support. They know nothing hut the business they have been following, and thero are no other opportunities hero. With it all the leaders are firm and declaro thoy will never return under the existing conditions. ARRAYED AGAINST ENGLAND. Russia and France In John Bull’s Pathway. A semi-offlaial note was issued at Paris Wednesday morning stating that France will refuse to sanction the use of the Egyptian reserve fund for the purpose of the British-Egyptian .ex pedition up the Nile to Dongola, unless she receives precise pledges concern ing the British evacution of Egypt. A London cable dispatch says: A cabinet council was held Wednesday morning, the change of views being devoted to the discussion of tho Brit- ish-Egyptiau expedition up the Nile. The commander-in-chief, Lord Wolse- ley, was present, A dispatch to the New York Herald from St. Petersburg, says: “Kussia is giving her support to the French agent at Cairo.” ROUTINK OK HOUSE AND SENATE BRIEFLY CHRONICLED. :: Summary of Bills anil Resolutions Presented and Acted Upon. THE HOUSE. For throo and a half hours Thursday the house indulged in a repetition of tho religious discussion which raged when tho District of Columbia appro priation hill was under discussion, aud, as a result tho policy of tho house, as expressed at that time by a decided refusal to appropriate mouoy for the charitable und benevolent in stitutions of tho district, was in effect, reversed. The inciting eauso of the debate was the amendment to the sundry civil hill which was adopt ed in committee of tho whole Wednesday on motion of Mr. Evans, of Kentucky, giving How ard university, at Washington, $32,- 000, tho appropriation having boon omitted from tho hill by the com mittee reporting it. The amendment was advocated by Messrs. Bartlett, of Now York ; Bayers, of Texas; Cannon, of Illinois, and Evans of Kentucky, and was opposed by Mr. Hanier, of Nebraska; Mr. McKae, of Arkansas; Mr. Johnson, of California; Mr. An drews, of Nebraska, and Mr. Living- stou, of Ooorgia. There was a digres sion from tho main question when Mr. Hepburn, of Iowa, responding to tho remarks of Mr. Bayers, charged' tho democrats of tho south with not only failing to provide equal educational advantages to tho negroes with the whites, hut with rohhiug thorn of their civil rights. His statements woro vigorously com batted by Mr. Bayers and others. When tho matter got into tho honso a yea nud nay voto was taken on tho nmendmont nud it was ngreod to—yeas 129 ; nays 105. This debate practically closed tho consideration of the sundry civil ap propriation bill, and no further amend ment of note wns made. It was passed as reported from tho committoo of tho whole. Mr. Hitt, of Illinois, reported from tho committeo on foreign affairs, tho resolution asking tho president to transmit to congress all correspond ence in tho stnto department sinoo December 1, 1895, relating to offers of meditation or intervention by tho United States in tho affairs of Vene zuela, and it was ngreod to. Tho house, at 5.25 adjourned until Friday. The galleries of the house woro woll filled Friday in anticipation of a re newal of tho Cuban debate in connec tion with the presentation of the con ference roport on the Cuban resolu tions, hut tho attendauce on tho floor was smaller than usual. Sorno pre liminary routine business wob trans acted. Mr. Murphy (rep., Ill.) secured unanimous couseut for the considera tion of a hill to authorize tho con struction of a third bridge across tho Mississippi river at St. Louis. Mr. Hepburn, chairman of tho com mittee on commerce, opposed tho hill on the ground that a third hridgo within a distance of two miles would greatly impede navigation at St.Louis. Mr. Murphy nnd Mr. Joy urged the passage of the hill because of tho ex cessive tolls charged by tho present bridge company. Mr. Hepburn main tained that congress had power to pre vent the extortion complained of. Tho bill was passed. At 2:20 p. m. Mr. Hitt moved tho adoption of the conference report on the Cuban resolutions and spoke in ad vocacy thereof. In the house, at Saturday’s session, Mr: Hitt, of Illinois, called up the conference report on tho Cuban reso lutions, and Mr. Adams, republican, of Pennsylvania, one of tho members of tho committee, took tho floor. Ho devoted his opening remarks to a con sideration of the statement made Fri day that sentiment had changed with respect to recognizing the belligerency of the Cubans since tho passage of the original resolutions in tho house. He denied this. Sentiment on this subject, he said, had not changed either in congress or among the Amer ican people, and the only members of the senate who opposed recognition now were those who objected when tho pending resolutions were before that body. He deprecated the attempt to create a race prejudice againBt Cubans, and asserted that all the loaders, ex cepting Maceo, were whites and not negroes and mulattos, as haB been re ported. Mr. Gillette, republican, of Massa chusetts, opposed the resolutions. Ho admitted that the overwhelming sen timent of the house as manifested by the vote of several weeks ago, proba bly represented public opinion. But this matter should not ho decided by public opinion, for the reason that public opinion was not the law and right of the case, but should bo consid ered only as an expression of sympathy with the Cubans. When Mr. Gillette had concluded, an effort was made by Mr. Hitt to se cure an agreement to close debate, and take a voto at 4 o’clock, hut a number desired to speak, aud it was finally ar ranged to debate the report the roet of the day, inolnding a night, session, and take vote on Monday immmodiate- ly after the reading of tho journal. The debate was interrupted near the close of the session by Mr. Bartlett, democrat, of New Yark, under a privileged question, who made an ex planation of his connection with the now famous circular whioh formed the subjeot of au acrimonious colloquy be tween Messrs. Gibson, republican, of Tennessee, and Sulzer, democrat, of New York, in the course of tho debftto ou tho Bayard resolutions several woeks ago. From this it appeared that tho copy of tho cir cular which Mr. Sulzer exhibited had boon given to Mr. Bartlett from the printer in whoso office it had been printed. He brought into tho house, ho said, and it had beon passed from hand to hand until it reached tho gen- tlenmu from Now York, Sulzer. Mr. Bartlett disclaimed any connection with tho use of tho circular made by Mr. Sulzer, which was without hiB kuowledge or consent. Sir. Gibson accepted Mr. Bartlett’s disclaimer and withdrow any implica tion upon that gentleman’s connection with the incident which rebooted upon him in any way. The house at 5 p. m. took a recess until 8 p. m. Thero were hut six momhors present whon tho house mot at night to con sider further tho oonferenoo roport on tho Cuban resolutions. Mr. McCall, of Massachusetts, presided. Tho public galleries wore woll filled, Mr. Dockery, democrat, of Missouri, was tho first spenkor. He was iu hearty accord with tho resolutions. Ho felt that ho voiced the unanimous souti- mont of his pooplo when ho wishod tho Cubans Godspeed in their efforts to secure freedom. Mr. Daniels, republican, of Now York, objected strongly to tho second resolution, although believing that tho first resolution wan proper enough. Ho thought tho two should bo divided, nud if not, ho holievod that tho houso should reject them. Constables Make a Big Seizure In South Carolina. A Charleston special says: Officers Toales, Brabham nud Peterman, of the dispensary servioe, made a raid Satur day night ou Long island, about six miles from tlio city, aud found 1,000 gallons of liquor for their trouble. This haul is tho biggest yet made nud the value of the contraband liquor can ho placed at least at $2,000. The officers received a tip in advanoo and got every drop of the immense stock, although it was hidden iu small f,quantities all over the island. Tho invading.officers went down tho harbor iu two row boats and state that they know that their game would ho big. The officers valuo the liquor at $2,500. Wtiilo tho stuff was being , Tr .ended into tho boats a well-known Mr Baker, popuhst, oi Kansas, as- tlemnn of tho city, who was form- 31 ted that tho Anglo-Saxon race would), . sorted that tbo Anglo not stand.what tho Cubans stood. Ho recited wrongs they have suffered at the bauds of Spain and said ho would bo glud to vote for a resolution rocog- nizing their independence. Mr. Mahon, republican, from Penn- slyvania, evoked a burst of loud ap plause from the gallerieH in his defftin- ciation of tho cruelties practiced by the Spaniards against tho Cubans. Mr. Otey, democrat, of Virginia, told a nnmbor of humorous stories which created u groat deal of laughter in tho gnllo’ries and ou the floor. Ho sympathized with tho rebels—ho was ono himsolf, ho said. Tho United States being free wishes to seo every othor country free. “We have a right to expross our opinion about this matter and Spain cannot object. We express our opin ion about everything,” said ho. “Wo did it recently about Mr. Bayard, hut ho did not resign. Wo shall do it about Cuba and Spain will not got mad, nor will Cuba, oithor.” The house passod the senate concur rent Cuban resolutions Monday by a voto of 244 to 27. The result of tho voto was receiood with rousing enthu siasm on tho floor und in the galleries. As soon as tho tumult hud subsided Mr. Hooker (Bep. N. Y.) chairman of tho rivor and harbor committee,moved to suspend tho rules aud pass tho river and harbor hill. Ho asked Hint tbo reading of the bill ho disponed with, hut Mr, Richardson (Dem. Toun.) ob jected to passing a hill carrying mill ions of dollars without the formality of reading it. Tho hill was passed, however, by a rising voto of 21G to 40, tho opposition not being strong enough to secure a yea and nay vote. Before Chairman Hitt demanded tho regular order Mr. Wadsworth, chair man of the committee ou agriculture, presented for tho information of tho house a letter from tho secretary of agriculture, notifying him that in def erence to what seemed tho uuanimous dosiro of the houso of representatives, ho had tolographed accepting tho prop osition to put the seeds to ho distrib uted by congressmen into packages of livo instead of 15 packets (making 2,025,000 packages instead of 075,000). Tlio members expressed their gratifica tion by applauding the announcement. THE SENATE. In tho senate, Thursday, Mr. George, of Mississippi, concluded his speech against tho roport of tho com mitteo on privileges and elections, declaring that Mr. Dupont was duly and legally elected as a senator from the state of Delaware. Mr. George’s argument occupied in all ten hours’ time. It closed with an assertion that if Mr. Dupont obtained the seat ho would he elected to it, not by tho legislature of Delaware, hut by tho senate of tho United States. No action was taken on tho report and it is very uncertain when the vote will bo reached. ’The remainder of the day’s session was taken up in tho discussion of an amendment to tho postofiice ap propriation bill, relating to tho con solidation of suburban postofficcs and changing them into stations. No re sult was reached and the senate, at 5:40 p.m., adjourned until Monday. Many of tho senators who have been prominont of late in the affairs of their states were hack in tho senate Monday, erly iu tho liquor business, came up m a boat, hut hud nothing to say. It is holievod that tho liquor was landed ou /the island at night nnd was to have 'been brought in small quantities fo tho city. Tho 1,001) gallons was in kegs aud baif-harrela and there wore fiftoeu . . easeijmif- fl isks. «,Thu entire treasure will lie shipped to Columbia. Long island is tho island of whioh Elgar Allen I’oo wrote in tlio slory of “ JTn- Gold Bug" and has only one family living ou it. inolnding Senators Chandler, of New Hampshire, Harris, of Tennessee, Lindsay, of Kentuoky, Palmer, of Ill inois, aud Thurston, of NobraRka. Among tho hills favorably reported was one to prevent wholesale divorces in tho territories by requiring one yoar’s residence before application for divorce. Mr. Gall (Dem., Fla.) made on in effectual effort to tnke up the Cuban resolution offered by him several days ago, proposing tho immediate uso of tho United States navy to protect American citizens in Cuba and to pre vent barbarities, hut Mr. Allison in sisting that the appropriation hills were of supremo importance anil must ho kept to tho front. Mr. Call gave notice that ho would move to take up his Ctibau resolution Tuesday. In quiries by Mr. Halo (Bop., Mo.) as to the parliamentry status of the resolu tions indicated that Mr. Cull would moot with opposition returning to tho Cuban subjeot. Tho postoifioo appropriation hill wns then takeu up, tho ponding ques tion being that of consolidating coun try and suburban postofficcs as ad juncts to city or metropolitan districts. CONTRABAND LIQUOR. CARLISLE DECLINES TO PARTICIPATE IN THE CON TEST KOR NOMINATION. The Secretary Writes a Letter to That Kftect. THE VENEZUELAN MATTER. Report that Negotiations aro Proceed ing Satisfactorily. Tho London Chronicle in its issue of Monday says that tho negotiations be tween Great Britain and tho United States concerning Venezuela aro pro ceeding satisfactorily, anil tliut a solu tion of tho matter favorable to all is counted upon with confidence. ! Tho Times has received a publica tion dated at Atlanta, Ga., tho cover of which hears tho embossed stamp of tbo Venezuelan legation at Wash ington. It is entitled “Official Histo ry of tho Discussion Botweon Great Britain and Venezuela on Their Guiana Boundaries.” Tho documents contained in tho publication date from 1822. Commenting upon tho work Tho Times says that all tho documents are published iu tho British blue hook except two from the Venezuela repre sentative to the state department at Washington. These The Times prints. The first is from Honor Loho, dated October 20, 1893, aud tho second from Honor Andrade, dated March 31, 1894. Secretary Carlisle has given out tho following letter to Chairman Long, of tho democratic state committeo of Kentucky, declining to enter the con- tost for tho democratic nomination for tho presidency: “Treasury Department, Office of tho Secretary, Washington, D. C., April 4, 1890.—Charles It. Long, Chairman Democratic Htato Central Committoo, Louisville, Ky. —My Dear Sir: Your favor of March 30tli, in whioh yon say in substance that many of my frieudH iu Kentucky and olsowhero desire mo to become a candidate boforo tho ap proaching national democratic conven tion for nomination to the ofiioo of president aud requesting mo to give ‘some authoritative or definite expres sion’ upon the subject, was duly re ceived and has been maturely consid ered. Many communications upon tho same Bubject and of similar import have been received from my friends in different parts of tlio country, aud while vory grateful for these numerous expressions of confidence and esteem on the part, of my democratic fellow citizens, I liavo not boon able to reach tho conclusion that the existing condi tions require me to comply with their request by authorizing them to an nounce mo as a candidate for tho pres idential nomination. “While I fool a profound interest in tho welfare of my party, I am much more concerned about its declaration of principles than in its sek'ction of candidates, because, iu my opinion, its failure or success at tho election, as woll as its capacity for useful sorvicp to tho country in the futuro depends upon the position it takes or omits to take upon tho public questions now en gaging the attention of the people, and especially tho questions affecting tho monetary systom of the country and the character nud amount of taxation to bn imposed upon her citi zens. Its position upop this and othgr "subjects having been agreed upon and clearly and distinctly announced, the Convention ought to have no difficulty in seleoting an acceptable candidate wlio will fairly represent its views; and, in order that its deliberations may he embarrassed as little as possi ble by tho contention of rival aspirants und their friends, I think my duty to the party will be best performed by declining to participate in a coutost for tho nomination. “The obligations assumed when I accepted my present official position require mo to devoto my entiro time and attention to tho public interests committed to my charge, and I shall continue to discharge the duties im posed upon mo to the best of my abil ity and in such a manner as will in my judgment most certainly promote tho truo interests of tho country; and if iu tho opinion of my fellow democrats in Kentucky my servico entitled mo to tlioir commendation and approval I would regard their indorsement of my public courso ns nn nmple reward for the little I have been ablo to accom plish iu behalf of honest administra tion and a sound financial policy. With many thunks for your kind let ter, I nm vory truly yours, J. G. Carlisle.” THROUGH A BRIDGE. A Train on tho G. anil A. Railroad Crushes—-Many Injured.
