Republican* Kudeavor to Suspend the

the Me iiure —The Vote in Detail —Gen-
eral Washington New*.
Washington, April t,—The second
Monday in each month i* set aside by
the house for Dislri' - JMkhuntdn"busi
ness. The idea gaiued currency that
yesterday was the second Monday in
April and a large number of Democrats
were absent in consequence. The Re
publicans, who had a large attendance,
attempted to take advantage of this
situation by suspending the rules and
passing'The service pension bill, but
railed to secure the necessary two thirds
vote.
Mr. Morrill, of Kansas, moved to sus
pend tiie rules and pass i wiili a substi
tute) senate bill granting pension to
soldiers and sailors who aro incapaci
tated from the |ierformaiice of labor
and providing for pensions to widows,
minor children ad dependent parents.
A M:rv on I'oiiilo t.
Mr. MorriU briefly explained iliat the
substitute provided a service [lendion of
$8 a month to soldiers who have reached
the age of 02 years or who are dejieiid
ent. He thought that the same prin
ciple which had been applied to the
veterans of the war with .dexico should
be applied to the veterans of the war of
18tH.
in answer to a question from Mr.
Sayers, of Texas, he stated that it waa
estimated that the senate bill would re
quire an annual expenditure of $ >0,000,-
000 and the house substitute would re
quire $59,000,000 annually.
Mr. Tantsev, of Missouri, opposed
the passage of a bill of this magnitude
under tiie gag law. He was opposed to
indiscriminate pension legislation and
to any measure whicli placed tiie brave
soldier on an equality with the skulk
ing coward.
Mr. Craig, of Pennsylvania, said that
lie would vote for a motion to suspend
the rules, although tiie bill did not go as
far as he would desire.
('loaitt; tli« Debate.
Mr. Yoder, of Ohio, said that no
soldiers’ organization had petitioned for
the passing of tiie pending Dill, and tiie
outrageous proceeding of today had
lieen actuated by the desire of the Re
publicans to escape going on record on
tiie service pension bill.
Mr. Yoder closed the debate in oppo
sition to tiie motion to suspend the
rules, and in conclusion asked unani
mous consent to suiistitutefor the pend
ing bill the bill—
But amid much laughter tiie speaker
brought down his gavel and declared
that the gentleman's time had expired.
Mr. Cutcheon, of Michigan, ridiculed
tiie idea of the gentlemen on the other
side of the chamber posing as the friends
of the soldier, chided them with oppos
ing general pension laws during the six
years they had control of the house,
and declared that every such law which
had been enacted had been enacted by
Republican votes and against the oppo
sition of the Democrats.
Mr. Cannon, of Illinois, said that the
pending bill would place M8,#09 names
of soldiers on tiie pension rolls and lie
submitted that no friend of the soldier
could refuse to vote for it, even though
it did not go as tar as he would like to
see it go.
Hie Motion Defeated.
After further debate the motion to
suspend the rules and pass the bill was
lost -yeas, 1(59; navs, 87—nut tiie neces
sary two-thirds in the affirmative.
The following bills were then passed
under suspension of tiie rules: Senate
bill appropriating $!3,oO) to build an
addition to the public building at
Houston, Tex. Senate bill with an
amendment striking out the appro
priating clause fur a public building at
Salina, Kan., at a cost of $/5,000.
Mr. Butterworlh. of Ohio, from tiie
committee on appropriations, reported
the legislative executive ami judicial
appropriation bill and it was placed
upon tiie calendar.
In the Senate.
Mr. Evarts presented resolutions of
ithe New York chamber of commerce
protesting against the pending bill for a
census enumeration of tiie Chinese.
The Montana election case was taken

Chicaoo, Apr I 9.—Frank Ives, of
Chicago, 275 points, and J. Randolph
111 iser. of New York, 950 points, played
tiie first matinee game of the handicap
billiard tournament. “The Napoleon”
won, his opponent gathering jn only
139 buttons.
The game started very slowly, the
easterner gaining Easter eggs in tiie
three first innings, Ives counting 14
from the sjiot. The tall Gothamite was
very nervous. Ives grabbed off 33 in
ttie fourth, the tieauty of which were
enhanced by two pretty masses. A foul
,in the tilth tost him a flue opportunity.
Heiser, in tiie meantime, took a sooth
ing draught irom a small bottle. This
took effect in the eighth, when he
played with ooftsideranls dash and
rolled up 22 neat black buttons, slipping
up oil an easy one. The southwestern
expert bowled out currents like a vet
eran in the thirteenth. Seventy points
was his count and ill it he chased the
glolies into all |>urts of the table, the
delicate nurse and two quadruple
cushion shots being features.
The score now was 151 to 50 in Ives'
favor. The latter made 4 skyrockets
and an ugly scratch in the next. Heiser
then commenced to chop down his op
ponent's lead and np]>e:>red to play with
some confidence. He counted a run of
45, every one of them earned, uud sev
eral productive of lilier.il applause and
followed with 27 more. Toe score
after the sixteenth was: Ives, 188;
Heiser, 129. Ives turned his last string
in the next with 54 easy billiards to
which Heiser replied with 7 lieauties.

thrown into excitement late yesterda y
afternoon by tiie aniioiincem 'lit of the
failure of the hanking firm o* George
K. Bistare’s .Sous. Tliß trouble was at
tributed to u heavy defalcation in tho
Philadelphia office of the firm.
Sisture's Sous had lieen in business
forty years. A member of the firm
stated that the defalcation amounted to
over JiUO.iKK). He would not say
whether proceedings had been taken
against the defaulter nor whether Hil
ger had committed suicide, nor what
was tiie cause of his death. No s ate
■nent of the firms alfairs could bu
made at present.
1h« Firm Will Be*nine.
The firm expected to resume shortly

ties at $500,iM9 and tiie defalcation at
at>out the same figure.
Two years ago A. M. Stanton, the De

credit.

PIIILAMKLPHIk, April 9.—The Phila
delphia office of (-eorge K. Sis tare's
Hons is in the bik.etiiiut of No. 115
South Fifth street. In |itiry was made
there concerning the nows of the fail
ure of an assistant who lias been in
charge of the office since the death of
Ifouglass Hilger, on March 22, und who
declined to say who he was; said that
he had been authorized to make no
statement of any kind, and that ail in
formation emanating from the firm will
proceed from the New Vork office
direct.
The only member of the firm in this
city was Mr. Hilger. and since his death
there has been none. The firm con
sisted of W. H. M. and George K. Sis
tare and Douglass liilger.
The His tares were located in New
Vork and had no direct supervision of
the affairs of the Philadelphia office.
On the morning succeeding the death
of Mr. Hilger there were rumors on the
street connecting the latter with a large
defalcation, but they could not lie

from New York the previous night, de
nied the rumors in the ino>t emphatic
terms, remarking that ‘ it is »u outra

The suspension caused no surprise
either in New York or this city, as
