Washington. Feb. 3.—A bunch of
La France roses lay on the desk of Mr.
Wellington (Rep., Md.), who appeared
in the house for the first time since bis
election to the senate.
Mr. Hull (Rep., Ia.) chairman of tho
committee on military affairs, reported
the army appropriation bill and it was
placed on the calendar.
At 12:30 o’clock the clerk of the senato
announced the passage of the sonate
free coinage substitute for the house
bond bill, and it was referred, under
the rules, to the ways and means com
mittee. A motion to concur was not
entertainable under the rules.
It will be reported back Wednesday
with the recommendation that the
house nonconcur and insist upon its bill.
Mr. Dingloy, chairman of the ways and
means committee says that “reasonable
time” for debate will he allowed. The
silver men are asking for two days in
which to discuss the bill. The fate of
the substitute is so well assured that tho
house program excites almost no inter
est except for the fact that it will fur
nish the first direct test of the free sil-
x strength in the house.
Various estimates mode by the free
silver men place the silver vote at from
100 to 125, the latter figure being the
limit prophesied by the most sanguine
silver Democrats. Mr. Hartman of Mon
tana predicts that the Republican vote
for the silver substitute will be 85 or 40,
and Mr. Hailey of Texas says that
about 70 of the 105 Democrats in this
house can be counted upon to support
any silver proposition. The estimates
are based on a full attendance, which
may not materialize, for there are many
absentees this week.
There are several southern Republi
cans, new members, who are an uncer
tain factor upon the financial question.
Silver men are preparing speeches upon
the financial question, and are anxious
for a much longer debate than the op
ponents of free coinage.
A bill was passed, on motion of Mr.
McRae (Dem., Ark.) to grant tho Ar
kansas and Choctaw Railroad company
right of way through the Choctaw na
tion in the Indian Territory. The house
then went into committee of the whole

New York. Feb. 3.—A dispatch to
The World from Havana says: Max
imo Gomez, accompanied by 4,000
mounted men, succeeded late Thursday
in recrossing the Trocha, or military
line, established by the Spaniards be
tween Havana and Batabano. He
crossed a few miles south of Bejucal,
Buena Ventura, which is about
ton miles north of Quivican. At the
same time he destroyed a small culvert,
tore up tho railroad track, cut the tele
graph wires and crippled the section of
the railroad between Rincon and Qui-
vican.
People wonder how Gomez evaded
the Spanish columns; how it was possi
ble for him to rocross and practically
cut through the wall of men of which
the Spanish generals expected so much.
At the very time Gomez played this
trick on the Spanish guard along the
Trocha, General Marin, the acting gov
ernor general of Cuba, who bad left
Havana the same day at the head of the
best equipped force put in the field
during the present rebellion, was slum
bering quietly, surrounded by his troops,
at San Antonio, Los Banos, about 17
miles east of Guanajay. While Gomez
was coming east and approaching the
Trocha, General Marin and his corps
were going west on a train from Rincon
towards Guanajay.
Gomez’s route of march was parallel
with the railroad used by Marin, and
not more than from six to ten miles dis
tant at any time. Yet they did not
meet.
General Marin did not learn until the
following morning (Friday) that Gomez
was in the east again. The first intima
tion reached him by a roundabout tele
gram from Quivican.
An exceedingly large number of peo
ple have been leaving Cuba the past
fortnight and it seems as if the exodus
has only just begun. Every steamer
leaving Havana carries hundreds of
families, not only to the United States,
hut also to Mexico, South America and
West Indian points. Steamship agents
talk of putting on extra steamers to
carry the passengers away.
Business is practically at a standstill.
Merchants, who have storehouses filled,

Fort Thomas, Ky., one of the suburbs
of this city, last Friday night, has been
identified. Owing to the head being
cut off all efforts to identify the body
heretofore failed. The reservoir has
been drained, the' river dredged, and
every nook and corner for miles exam
ined, but still the head has not been
found.
Mrs. Emery Marklnnd of Storr street,
this city, has been missing for a week.
She first put her four children
Childrens’ home and left her husband.
Monday her husband and her mother,
Mrs. William Hart, examined the body
and they think it is taat of Mrs. Mark-
land. Mrs. Hart did not live with her
daughter and does not recognize the
clothing.
There are no distin »utsliing marks
the body, but they wdl likely claim it
as the remains of Mrs. Marklnnd.
They cannot give any reasons for her
being at that place late at night,
leaving her home.

the state department from Sierra Loo;
United States Consul Peo’.ey save t
vexed question of the delimitation of
British and French boundary frontiers
is now receiving the active attention of
special Anglo- French boundary commis
sion, which began work last November.
The projected railway from Freetown to
the Hinterland is now destined to be an
accomplished fact, and the engineers
are already on the field. The importa
tion of American flour, kerosene, lum
ber, leaf tobacco and meat products
shows an increased tendency, and the
consul expects a greater demand when
the railroad is completed and the
try is opened up to commerce.

PaclUo Coast Lumber Deal)
Port Townsend, Wash., Feb. 3.—The
biggest trust over formed on the Pacific
coast and representing a capital of over
$70,000,000, has been consummated.' It
the Central Lumber company of Cali
fornia, and its membership includes
dealers of tho western coast of the
United States aud British Columbia.
All charters of vessels aud sales of lum
ber must be effected through the Cen
tral Lumber company, which regulates
freights and puts the buyiug and selling
price on all lumber, regulating also the
product of each mill and the propor
tionate amount of lumber each vessel
shall carry during the year.
Not only are the markets of the Pa
cific coast thus controlled, but the lum
ber shipments to foreign countries are
placed under the same restrictions.
Every mill on the coast has its product
regulated. In Puget Sound the daily
output is 1,400,000 feet. In the same
proportion every other lumber mill on
the coast is regulated, but the regula
tions do not apply to shipments by rail
to eastern points. The first order is
sued by the company was to advance
the price of lumber $2 per 1,000. Last
year the estimated product of the coast
was 600,000,000 feet and the advance
will enhance the profits of mill owners
the coming year over $1,000,000.
The deal was made to include manu
facturers, dealers and freight carriers.
Members of the trust claim that they
have been manufacturing lumber for
several years at actual cost,, and that
tho dealers in foreign and coastwise
markets were reaping all the profits.
Under the new prices, they say, the em
ployes will bo paid better wages and the
timber men receive higher profits for
their logs. Although capitalized at
$10,000, no other corporation on the Pa
cific coast controls such vast interests.
More than 150 ocean sailing vessels
come under their control.

tions in the extreme eastern provinces
of the island are grinding, but others
are still tied up, the owners being afraid
to operate lest the insurgents destroy
their valuable properties. All who are
grinding are doiug so under stroug mili
tary guard, aud, being compelled tc
feed the troops, the profits are very
imall.
One or two plantations, it is said, ob
tained permission from Gomez to start
their machinery.
At Constancia, 400 regulars and 600
civil guards are encamped on and about
limitation to protect the

erected at equal distances around the
plantation, all being connected by tele
phone. The troops nse these as lookout
places. No attempt has been made,
far, to interfere-wi^} grinding there.
Comes and Maceo Met.
Key West, Feb. 3.—Advices just re
turned from Havana say: Gomez and
Maceo have made the meeting, it is
said, as arranged near Artemis, prov
ince of Pinar del Rio, at the very time
that Marin, with five columns, was
looking for either of the rebel chiefs
only 14 miles north, near San Antonio
los Banos. It was supposed that the
arded railroad line from Havana to
tabano would prevent the meeting,
but Gomez crossed the line and Maceo,
with a comparatively small party, made
a quick march from the westernmost
point of the island and kept his tryst.
“I have seen Moro’s light every night
for a week,” Gomez said recently.

Charleston, Feb. 3.—News reaches
here of an uprising of the negroes at
Charleston Mining company’i
works, nine miles from the city. The
trouble was caused by the killing of
negro named Bridges by a young white
man by the name of W.
Mixon is a clerk in a store at the mines.
It appears that the negro came into the
store and created a disturbance, and
was shot by Mixon. Two hours after
the shooting the store was closed and
Mixon and two other white men, named
Stansell and Tylee, walked out from the
store into an ambush. The bushes
blazed up with a volley from the
groes, who were awaiting their chance.
The three men went in different di
rections, and Mixon escaped to the
woods under a heavy fire.
The infuriated blacks numbered about
75. and were all more or less drunk and
eager for any desperate deed. They
were, however, determined on killini

Knowing the'ccal was full of gas and
iprehensive lest an explosion should

Carter and his second mates respectively
launched and were well provis
ioned. The same afternoon, when the
boats were throe miles distant, the ship
blew up and sank. Kprmtnncous com-
bvsti >u was the origin of t ho fire. For
days the boats remained together, when
a storm came on anti the second junto's
boat was lost sight of. The water filled
the boats and all the crew could do was

necessary to throw overboard all the

The captain and first officer’s boats
reached Juan Fernandez island, and
from there they were taken to Valpa

14 days reaching Valparaiso. For six
days they were without water and food.
David Jones, an American actor, who
was a passenger, became insane and was
tied down for two days, when he died
and was buried at sea. The other oc

shore, and were considering the advisa
bility of resorting to extreme measures
when a wind sprang up and quickly
carried the boat to Valparaiso, where
the crew were taken ashore unconscious
and nearly dead.

The
London* Feb. 8.—A dispatch to the
St. James Gazotto from Washington
says that the correspondent of that pa
per has the highest authority for
nouncing that the entente between Rus
sia and Turkey is known at tho state
department and that it has had a most
important effect in modifying the plan
the administration had prepared to com
pel Turkey to pay indemnity for the
damage done to American property in
Armenia.
Continuing, the correspondent says
that iu spite of denials, he is able to i
suro the readers of his paper that
naval demonstration upon the pint of
the warships of the United States was
prepared and that a cabinet meeting ap
proved the policy of bringing pressure
to bear on Turkey. He also says that
Secretary Oluey entered into communi
cation with Russia and Great Britain,
asking them if they would oppose action
of the United States against Turkey.
Great Britain’s reply, ho says, was fa
vorable; but, he adds, Russia informed
Mr. Olney that she preferred there
should be no naval demonstration at
that time, as Russia was negotiating to
bring about a restoration of order
Turkey, which country, Mr. M. E.
Kotzburg, Russian minister to tho
United States, is said to have informed
Mr. Olney, would pay the indemnity
required.
Therefore, still according to the
respondent of the St. James Gazette,
the projected demonstration of United
States war vessels iu Turkish wators
abandoned.

Convict Inspector* Submit Their Statement
to Governor Oates-
Montgomery, Ala., Feb. 3. — The
board of convict inspectors have filed
their quarterly report with tho governor.
It is full of interest. Among other
things they report that on Sept. 1 there
were 1,610 state convicts on hand; that
since that time 198 have been added, 110
discharged, 6 escaped and 32 have died,
leaving on hand Jan. 1 1,683. There
are 900 county convicts on hand.
Prosperity is reported at the convict
farms this year. At Fort Jackson, 161
bales of cotton were gathered from the
25 acres planted and 18,000 bushels
of corn were made on the 800 acres
planted. At Speigner, about 400 bales'
of cotton were mado and about 5,000
bushels of com. About 10,000 bushels
of potatoes and a large quantity of peas,
forage, fodder, hay ana pea vines were
made on each place. Hogs and vege
tables were raised on both the farms in
sufficient quantity to furnish food for
the prisoners.
Improvement in the health of the con
victs in tho prisoners and in the mines
is reported. The bad condition in which
the jailers of the different counties in
the state deliver tho prisoners to the
mining companies is greatly deplored
in the report.
