GIVES TO THE PRINTERS AT OSCE* All Schedule* Arranged Except on Sugar and This Speedily Agreed Upon. The Committee Closes a T.abor That Has Occupied Days. Washington, March B.—The demo cratic members of the finance commit tee repaired to the committee room as soon as the skirmish over the Bland bill was ended and applied themselves to the conside ation of the Wilson bill. At the same time orders were sent to the government printing office to have a force of men on hand ready to take the copy as soon as it was sent and have the bill printed in time to lay it before the committee at 11 o’clock this morning. The only open question then was the sugar schedule and this was promptly disposed of, so that the com mittee adjourned at 7:43. at which time the bill was sent to the printer. The duty given to sugar was only agreed upon after an animated discus sion and the rate appears to be the evi dences of being a compromise. It is understood that a rate of 1 cent a pound is fixed on raw sugar testing 75 degrees by the polarscope and grad ed up by degrees. When the bill is laid before the full committee today it will be as Voorhees put it, “Given to the whole world through the agency of the press, just as was done in the house committee.” The completed bill was not submitted to the so called conservatives, and a member of the committee said last night that the com mittee did not know whether these senators would support the bill or not.

The Portuguese fired upon the land ing party aud the fire was returned. The latest advices from the scene of the encounter say that the governor of Quilliinane, the Portuguese official in charge of the district within the Portu guese boundaries, has been summoned to the spot where the conflict took place, and he is said to be on his way there with two Portuguese gunboats and a number of troops. The British commander is believed to have asked for reinforcements. Senatorial Forecasts In North Carolina.

Cheek, Who Ha* Been Leadings Double Life, Kills Himself, Atlanta, March B. —ln an old tumble down cottage hidden in a lonely copse wood, Samuel 11. Cheek, the contractor, a fugitive from the law and the tor tured slave of conscience, yesterday morning put an end to his life, which for years has been a living lie, a double life, false to wife, to home, to honor, to children. Hidden there to prevent prosecution on a trivial charge, he was driven to remorse for an unsuspected crime that for years had remained undiscovered, and there alone, in the quiet of the woods he shot himself through the heart. An hour later he was found dying by his son. Two hours later he died at the Grady hospital. His tragic death revealed a dramatic story, replete with deception, devotion, duplicity and love—a story that is like the product of some clever fictionist's brain. Ordinary matter of fact life but rarely develops such instances of long practiced deception and double living. The story unfolded by Cheek's sui cide is one covering a period of twelve years, and between the first and last acts there is an interval of ten years. The tragedy ended with the killing of Cheek 3'esterday. During the time he has been keeping a paramour in the city, also known as Mrs. Cheek, and this, the possible de tection, drove him to suicide. SURPRISE IN COURT. The Attorney-General of Michigan Creates a Sensation in a Mandamus Case. Lansing. Mich., March B.—Attorney- General Ellis sprung a surprise in the supreme court yesterday in the case brought by the governor for a man damus to compel a re-canvass of the vote on the salary amendment of 1891.

Cowdry, clerk oi G atiot county in 1891, to the effect that the county canvassers adjourned that year without making any canvass whatever of the vote cast on the amendment increasing the sal ary of the attorney-general, and that he Nvrote them upon his record without being canvassed, lie also presented the affidavit of the present county clerk that he is unable to discover any orig inal canvass. These affidavits show that no canvass of the amendment of 1891 was made in Gratiot county. If tiie court decides the vote in GrAtiot county shall not be counted, the amendment will have a majority of 287 votes, after subtracting i8n222/ ote A.y ie jffe under advisement.

New Orleans, March. 8. —Governor Foster yesterday received the resigna tion of United States Senator E. C. A hite, to take effect on Monday, March 12. Ihe governor accepted the same and appointed Honorable Newton C. Blanchard as senator to succeed Sena tor White. Mr. Blanchard, by reason of his long service in Washington is one of the best known public men in the state. Congressman Blanchard has served longer in the house than any congress man elected from Louisiana since the war. He is now in the fourteenth year of his service in tfie lower branch in the national assembly, Judge Elam having been his predecessor. Newton Crain Blanchard was born in Rapides parish, Louisiana, where he still owns property, and where manv of his relatives reside. He first saw the light of day on January 19, 1849, and he is no v 45 years of age. Before he was 44 Mr. Blanchard had been elected seven times to congress, a distinction enjoyed by few of the members of tbe national assembly. Mr. Blanchard will serve as senator until the legislature has filled the va cancy caused by the resignation of Judge White. The governor has authority to ap point during the recess of the legisla ture only. e Judge W bite’s term will ex pire in 1897. Mr. Blanchard was a candidate for the senate before the legislature of 1878 and also before that of 1892. His promotion to the senate naturally leaves bis seat in the house vacant, and an election will be ordered at once, at which his successor will be elected. J. C. Pugh, of Red River, now a state senator, and Speaker Bolton, of the house of representatives, are the gen tlemen most prominently mentioned for the vacant congressional seat.

BEYOND THE REACH OF OPPONENTS. In the Houg < the Annual Pension Debate is Resumed, and a Spirited Discussion Engaged In Congressional Matters in General. Washington, March B.— O'Neil re ported from the committee on appro priations Bingham’s resolution asking the secretary of the treasury to inform the house under what authority the bureau of engraving and printing sub mitted a bid for printing postage stamps with a favorable recommenda tion, and it was passed. At the beginning of the discussion of the pension bill, Waugh stated that Deputy Commissioner Bell had written him a letter denying the truthfulness of the interview printed in the Indian apolis Sentinel, and quoted by him (Waugh) in his speech, in which Bell was made to say that the expenditures for pensions in the year 1894 would be $25,000,000 less than for the current year, and that before the Cleveland ad ministration closed the annual expen ditures on account of the pensions, would be reduced to $100,000,000 a year. Springer charged that the pension bureau had been used by the republi can party to affect the vote in Ohio and Indiana, which were doubtful states politically. Illinois averaged neither so many pensioners nor so much paid per pensioner per district as did both the states named. O’Neil, in charge of the bill, closed the general debate, lie reviewed the various speeches by republican mem bers, and replied to their several criti cisms of and charges against the bureau. The hill then came up for considera tion under the five-minute rule and for amendment. Three amendments were ruled out on points of order. The fourth gave rise to debate. It Nvas offered by Grosvenor, to in crease the amount of the bill from 150,- 000,000 to 165,000,000. Henderson (rep. Iowa) caused a sensation by referring to the speech of Black. He said that gentleman had stood up here with a bouquet of rhetoric in one Rand to attract the votes of the soldiers, while in his other, his withered one, he field a dagger to drive at their hearts. TIOXIOIIS TO Hie pUllllD XJi VIUCI vuurv xw changed existing law. The committee then rose, and the hill was reported to the house. The Pickier amendment was agreed to, and the bill passed without division substantially as it was reported from the committee. At 4:10 the house adjourned until to day at 12 o’clock. In the Senate. Harris called for a vote on his motion tor a second reading of the seigniorage bill. After its second reading, he would ask unanimous consent, (which from the indications of yesterday, he was sure, would be granted) to have it taken up, considered and disposed of. The bill had its second reading, and then the vice president asked whether there was any objection to Harris’ re quest to take it up for consideration. Sherman said that he would move, if no one else did, to refer the bill to the finance committee. It proposesthe issue of United States notes, to the amount of $55,000,000 dollars, for the current expenses of the government. He re garded it as a grave revolutionary pro ceeding. Palmer argued in favor of its refer ence to the finance committee. Call moved to lay that bill aside and take up the bill to change the bound aries of the judicial districts of Florida. This motion was defeated—yeas, 22; nays, 27. Harris then moved to proceed to the consideration of the seigniorage bill. The motion was agreed to without a division. The bill was, therefore, be fore the senate us in committee of the whole. The question was taken on Shermans motion to refer the seigniorage bill to the finance committee and the motion was defeated —yeas 6, nays 50. Then, no amendment being offered, he followed with the announcement Tbit the question was on the engross ment and third reading of the bill, and, that stage being rapidly passed, he said that the question now was “shall the bill pass?” Morrill protested against such an im portant bill being passed in what looked like a freak of the senate. There had been no consideration as to what the effect of its passage would be on the credit of the ceuntry, both at home and abroad. Palmer inquired whether the bill w-as etill subject to amendment, and was informed by the presiding officer that it was not. Allison—Has the bill passed to a third reading? The Presiding Officer—Yes; and the question now before the senate is on the passage of the bill. AJlison—Then I move to reconsider the vote whereby the bill was en grossed and read a third time. Cockrell —On that motion I a,sk the yeas and nays. Sherman made a final appeal to the senate against hasty action. The course adopted with this bill was, he said, in violation of the old established rules of the senate. After some further colloquy, the bill was allowed to go over till today, prin cipally for the accommodation of Sher man, but with no indication that there would be today any abandonment or yielding of the parliamentary advant age which it occupies. After action on Allison’s motion to reconsider, the next vote is to be on the passage of the bill. After a short executive session, the senate, at 3:20, adjourned. OFFICIAL ORGAN OF THE COimil, THE END OF HIS WANDERINGS. Arrest of a Man Who Robbed a New York Rank Several Years Ago. “ j Buffalo, March B. —After more than two years of the wandering life of a .‘wanted” criminal, Harry C. Wiltshaw, alias Harry C. Watkins, of New York, occupies a felon's cell in the Erie coun ty jail. He was arrested yesterday evening as he was stepping from a train from the east at the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western station. Deputy United States Marshal Watts took him into custody on information furnished by New York detectives.

He was in the employ of the bank several years an an indi vidual bookkeeper, and for eight years as a confidential clerk. His pecula tions. it is believed, extended over three years. His downfall is attrib uted to unfortunate speculations in stocks and bonds. f ONE YEAR LATER. The Chickamauffa and Chattanooga Na tional Park to be Dedicated in 1805. Chattanooga, Tenn., March B.— The Times of this city is in receipt of a let ter from General H. V. Boynton, an nouncing the postponement of the ded ication of the Chickamauga and Chat tanooga National Military park from September. 1894, to September, 1895. The reasons given for the postpone ment are that the tariff question occu pying the attention of congress would prevent a final vote on the bill appro priating funds for the dedication in time for this year, and that the Grand Army of the Republic would probably meet in Atlanta, Ga., next year, and could thus easily- participate in the dedication.
