Waehington, Deo. 2.—The reeult of
the congressional elections last fall be
came apparent for the first time to the
naked eye when the new house of rep-
yT resentatlves assembled today. No such
revolution in the personnel of the mem
bers has occurred in recent years, at
least. Exactly 163 new faces appeared
in a total of 366 members. Some of the
' oldest and most tried. leaders among
i the Democrats were swept out by the
tide which rolled up a Republican ma-
oriiy of 146 in the fifty-fourth house.
Of ninety-four districts north of Mason
and Dixon’s line, which were repre-
se;nted by Democrats in the last con
gress. but fifteen returned Democrats
to the new house.
The Democratic victory of 1890, which
turned a Republican majority for the
fifty-first congress of five into a Dem
ocratic majority of 150, was not so com
plete as the Republjcan triumph which
last year changed a Democratic major
ity of ninety-six into a Republican ma
jority of 140. In the new house the Re
publicans control thirty-one of the for-
ty-four state delegations, which insures
that party the next presidency should
the election be thrown Into the house.
They have twenty solid delegations,
while the Democrats have but four.
In the once “solid South" the Ken
tucky and Tennessee delegations are
almost evenly divided. In, North Caro
lina and Misssouri the Republicans
control. The West Virginia delegation
is solidly Republican. Texas and Vir
ginia each has a Republican and Ala
bama and South Carolina send Popu
lists. The number of Populists in the
house is reduced from twelve to six.
SOME NOTABLE ABSENTEES.
Among those whose long service or
striking personalities make their ab
sence In the newly assembled house
most noticeable are such grizzled vet
erans as Judge Holman of Indiana, the
“father of the house," and the watch
dog of the treasury,” who began his
congressional service in 1859; Gen. Dan
Sickles of New York, the "hero of Get-
. tysburg," who achieved distinction as
a soldier, diplomat and statesman; "Sii
ver Dick" Bland of Missouri, and Wm.
E. Springer of Illinois, both of whom
served twenty-two years in the house,
md Gen. Honker of Mississippi and
Gen. Hatch of Missouri, who were both
Confederate veterans who first came
into congressional life In 1875. Others
there were whose,, talents and ability
made them exceptionally prominent,
like Wm. L. Wilson, who framed the
tariff bill In the. last-congreisjor Burke
Cockran of New York, whbse oratory'
often kindled the house. Then there
were such men as Wm. J. Bryan, Tom
Johnson, John DeWitt Warner of New
York and Champ Clark of Missouri,
Thomas Dun English of New Jersey,
who wrote the song "Don't You Re
member Sweet Alice, Ben Bolt,” around
which DuMaurler’s story lovers so per
sistently clung; “Buck" Kilgore of
Texas, who Is now a federal Judge;
Dan Lockwood of Buffalo, President
Cleveland's old law partner; Michael
Harter of Ohio, Sibley of Pennsylvania,
whose ardent advocacy of the cause of
free sliver has given him prominence
ns a possible sliver candidate for the
presidency; pen. Tracy of Albany, a
close friend of the administration on
the floor of the house; Joseph Outh-
waite of Ohio, now a member of the
government ordinance board; Benjamin
Enlee of Tennessee, Geary of Califor
nia, author of the Chinese exclusion
act; McGann of Chicago; Lafc Pence
of Colorado, Dr. Everett of Massachu
setts, Ashur Caruth of Kentucky, one
of the wits of the house, and W. C. P.
Breckonrldge of the same state, and
Jerry Simpson, the leading Populist of
the house.
SOME NEW PACES.
These and many others are gone, but
there are new men of as striking* abil
ity, as Interesting history or peculiar
ities, to take their places. Among them
are Gen. Jathes A. Walker, the Repute
lican from Virginia, a Confederate sol
tiler of renown, who assumed com.
mand of Stonewall Jackson's brigade
after the latter was shot at Chancel-
lorsvllle; George L. Wellington of Ma
ryland, who had charge of the cam
paign which resulted in the election of
Lowndes as governor of that state, and
also prominently mentioned as the suc
cessor of Senator Gibson; William E.
Barrett, who has made his mark as a
speaker of the Massachusetts legisla
ture, and as a newspaper proprietor:
George P. Harrison, Gen, Oates' suc
cessor in Alabama, who was the young
est brigadier-general In the Confeder
ate army and who Is a bright lawyer
and Grand Master Mason; William C.
Owens, Breckinridge’s successor from
the Blue Grass district of Kentucky,
who was temporary chairman of the
Democratic national convention at Chi
cago In 1892; George N. Southwlck of
Albany, N. Y., who is the youngest
member of the present house, and
therefore %the baby." He is but 25.
B. H. Atwood from Boston Is a gifted
artist and architect; Grove L. John
son of California looks like the late
Senator Mahone and has a good deal
of the ex-Confederate chieftain's fire.
TWO NEW NEW YORKERS.
Two prominent young members arc
George E. McClelland and William Bui-
r« r or New York. The former Is a son
of "Little Mae." who commanded the
I'nlon armies In 1862, and who was the
Democratic candidate for president In
P64. Hi« son Is a good speaker and
has been In Journalism and In politics
ss president of the New York board of
aldermen. Sulser looks something like
Henry Clay. He has been speaker of
the New York assembly. Harry Miner,
who succeeds Tim Campbell from the
Bowery district of New York, unlike
his predecessor. Is fastidious In dross.
He la a theatrical proprietor.
Frederick Halterman, who represents
the old Randall district of Philadelphia,
which for eighty years has returned a
Democrat, la a merchant and Republi
can. Alexander Stewart of Wisconsin
is a lumber king, and Charles N. Henry
of Indiana, who succeeds Pynum, made
a fortune in gas. Cyrus A. Holloway
of New Hampshire, who succeeds “Ed
ucational Bill” Blair, Is a lawyer of
ability and member of the Salvation
Army. He married a captain of the
Salvation Army some years ago. John
E. McCall, who succeeds Enioc from
the Davy Crockett district of Tennes
see, is a college graduate and a fine
stumper. Miles Crowley of Texas once
sold papers on the streets of Boston,
but drifted to the Lone Star State and
became in turn, stevedore, cowboy and
politician. M. W. Howard, the Popu
list from Alabama, raised a storm of
Indignation two years ago by produc
ing a book severely reflecting on con
gressional purity. M. W. Trealer. who
defeated, Champ Clark, was a teacher
of music at the Hardin College. James
E. Watson, who succeeds Holman from
Indiana, is an energetic young lawyer
and a prominent Knight of Pythias.
Charles Towne of Wisconsin was a
page In the Michigan legislature twelve
years ago and has since been success
ful in business and politics. James B.
Corliss of Detroit is a lawyer and ora
tor of ability. The number of ener
getic young men Is perhaps the mo3t
prominent feature of the new house.
NEW BLOOD IN THE SENATE.
The presence of new blood is quite as
noticeable In the usually slow chang
ing senate as in the house. Among the
most notable of the absentees ore But
ler of South Carolina; Ransom of
North Carolina; Coke of Texas; Dolph
of Oregon; Manderson of Nebraska and
McPherson of New Jersey, each of
whom had served more than one term.
Of the thirty senators whose terms ex
pired on the 4th of March last, only
thirteen were re-elected. The new men
are Augustus O. Bacon of Georgia, who
succeeds Patrick Walsh; Luclen Baker
of Kansas, vice John K. Martin; Ma
rlon Butler of North Carolina, vice M,
W. Ransom; Thomas H. Carter of Mon
tana, vice Thomas C. Power; Horace
Chilton of Texas, vice Richard Coke;
Stephen B. Elkins of West Virginia
vice J. M. Camden; John W. Gear of
Iowa, vice J. P. Wilson; George W. Mc
Bride of Oregon, vice J. II. Dolph;
Thomas 8. Martin of Virginia, vice
Eppa Hunton; Knutc Nelson, vice W.
D. Washburne; W. J. Sewell of New
Jersey, vice J. D. McPherson; John M,
Thurston of Nebraska, vice C. F. Man
derson; Benjamin R. Tillman of South
Carolina, vice M. C. Butler; E. C. Wal
thall of Mississippi, vice A. J. McLau
rin; F. G. Warren of Wyoming, vies J.
M. Carey; George P. Wetmore of Rhode
Island, vice Nathan V. Dixon.
RECORDS OF NEW SENATORS.
Of these Messrs. Chilton. Sewell,
Walthall and Warren have served in
the senate before and Messrs. Carter,
Gear and Nelson In the house. Messrs.
Gear and Nelson have also been gov
ernors of their state as have also
Messrs. Tillman, Walthall and Warren.
Mr. Carter has become nationally
known as chairman ol the Republican
committee. Mr. Thurston has never
been prominent as an office holder, but
he has been a conspicuous figure in
national Republican conventions, and
will now begin his legislative career
as a novice. Senator Elkins was t
member of President Harrison's cabi
net and bis addition will swell the list
of ex-cabinet officers In the Bennte to
seven.
Messrs. Burrows, Clark, Mantle
Pritchard and Wilson are also new
mert in the senate, as they took their
soaU to fill vacancies only a few days
before the close of the last session.
These five added to the seventeen who
assumed their duties today constitute
Just' one-fourth of the senate which is
probably an unprecedented addition of
new blood.
Tho*preponderance of scats,on the
Republican aide was noticeable; throe
having 'beep transferred from the Dem
ocratic division to accommodate
Messrs. Elkins, Baker and Sewell, Re
publicans, and one for Mr. Butler,
Populist. Four of the six independ
ents now -hive seats In the Republican
seotion. In consequence of this change
the extreme back row of the Republi
can section of the chamber, which Is
known as Pike's Peak, because it was
first filled by senators from newly ad
mitted Western states, has again ta
ken on the proportions of the fifty,
first conrress.
CHANGES IN THE SENATE CHAM.
BER.
The change 4n the appearance of the
senate chamber was quite as great as
in the personnel of the senate. Prob
ably the most striking change In the
furnishings of the chamber was that
made In respect to the chairs of the
senators. Heretofore the floor of the
chamber has been covered by an as
sortment of seats as varied a;: the
gathering of live stock which followed
Noah into the Ark. These have been
removed during tho recess and eigh
ty-eight square malhogany chairs sub
stituted. New carpets have been laid
and all the woodwork painted or var
nished. In the niches of the gallery
left for tho busts of the vice presi
dents there are two additions, one of
Richard M. Johnson, designed by Jas.
Voorhecs of Washington, and the other
of Millard Fillmore, by Robert M.
Cushing of Now York, which had been
put in place since last March.
Another material change which has
been made In tho senate chamber which
will not become apparent, however, un
til a night session shall be held. Is the
addition of electric lights to the cham
ber. The lighting apparatus Is con
cealed above the sky light* so that
the change made In this respect will
be nottceablo only in the effect pro
duced. In the house the changes In the
hall of representatives have been com
paratively few and have extended little
beyond the substitution of new fur
nishings for those worn out by rough
usage.
SALE OF HISTORIC GROUND.
Manassas, Va„ Dec. 2.—Pursuant to
a decree of the circuit court of Prince
William ceunty, over 650 acrea of York
shire tract, belonging to the McLean
estate and lying on both sides of Bull
Run and adjbtning Blackburn's Ford,

greater portion was sold at an average
of spmethlng lets than 86 per acre,
white some went at 81 and at 82.20 per
acre. This land Is where the battle of
Bull Run ifas fought on July 21, 1861.
/ BIG BLAZE IN GOTHAM.
New York, Dec. 3.—At 1:16 a. m. fire
broke out In the five-story brick build
ing, st 68 West Broadway. The build
ing 4s occupied by Sumwalt A Jones,
'dealers In California wines, and the
other three stories by the Ago Spies
Mills.
At 2 o'clock this morning (Tuesday)
no estimate of the lose can be given,
although It Is said to be heavy. The
fire Is now under control. Considera
ble loss will be caused by water. As
far as can be estimated at thts hour
(2:15 a. ml) the loss will not exceed
846,660.
GEN. MILES IN ATLANTA.
Indnnatl, Dec. 2.—Maj. Gen. Miles,
commander of the United States army,
aooompsnied by Cap*. Michael of Us
staff, visited Fort Thomas, Ky„ today

THE FASTEST SCHEDULE.
The New York Central Leads the World
on Fast Schedule.
Buffalo, Dee. 2.—The New York Cen
tral railroad today demonstrated Its
ability to run upon Its road the fneA.’nt
regular train In the world. aUhough
It failed in this particular run ft, finish
upon the schedule time laid out for It.
This failure was due entirely to an
accident. The record as far as the ac
cident. actual running time per hour:
Empire State express 1,3.66 miles.
Old Empire State express 51 miles.
English road 51.57 miles.
Osin of Empire State train over beet
record 1.81 miles per hour.
Up to six months ago the train known
as the Empire state express had the
world's record as a regular train for
fast running. The London railway of
England, running from London to
Aberdeen, began to run a trifle faster
than the Empire State's record of 51
miles an hour. Today the Central be
gan a new schedule for this train which
necessitates an hourly run of 63 1-3
miles, about two miles an hour faster
than the English rival. Leaving Now
York this morning at 8:30, and with
every condition against her, this train
made more than three-quarters of the
distance in even faster time than the
new schedule calls for. The regular
Empire State express had added to It
a special car of Vice-President Webb
weighing 106,400 pounds. In addition
to this extra weight a drizzling rain
was falling, making the tracks ex
tremely slippery, and the extra weight
was carried on the end of the train In
stead of next to the engine, making
the resistance greater. The run from
New York to Albany, a distance of
142.88 miles, was made In 2 hours and
3 minutes, and the train rolled Into tho
Albany depot four minutes ahead of
the new schedule time and nine min
utes ahead of the old schedule.
Leaving Albany oil scbedulo time,
11:13 a. m., and with a change of en
gines, Engineer Chase at the throttle
of engine 999. pulled the train through
to Syracuse, the end of the Central di
vision, so that she rolled into tho depot
two and a half minutes ahead of the
new schedule and twelve minutes faster
than the old. This made a total gain
of twenty-one minutes between New
York and Syracuse.
At Syracuse Engineer Fellings, en
gine 904, took charge and pulled out
of that depot two minutes late. Half
way between Syracuse and Rochester
the drizzling rain turned to snow and
the wind, which had been with the
train some of the way, changed to a
head wind of great resistance. Despite
these conditions, the train rolled Into
Rochester exactly on time.
From Rochester as far as Church
vllle, 56 miles east of the Empire
State's destination, Buffalo, the sta
tions were passed exactly on schedule
time. Just after passing Churchvllle,
where the engine takes water from tho
track water trough by scoops without
stopping, tho scoop caught on an ob
struction In the trough nnd. dropping
down, hanged against the tics for at
least a mile until the train could ho
brought to a standstill. It was four
teen minutes before the damage could
he repaired and at least three minute
was lost in slowing up nnd starling.
When started again after n loss of sev
enteen minutes it was close upon the
long, heavy grade up to Batavia and,
lacking tho tremendous momentum
which it usually has, It lost three min
utes on this grade. Tho slippery tracks
also added to the delay, and when tho
Batavia station was passed the train
was twenty-flvo and a half mlnutca be
hind tho new schedule.
The run Into Buffalo from Batavia,
a distance of 40 miles, was made In
about 31 minutes, very fast time. And
the train rolled Into Buffalo twenty-
three minutes behind the new schedule
time and two minutes ahead of the old:
The entire run of 440 miles, including
three stops and exclusive of a delay of
twenty-six minutes, was mado in 494
minutes.
THE WORLD OF TRADE.
Reports' by Wire From the
Cheat Markets.
CATHOLIC PYTHIANS.
An Effort to Allow Them to Retain
Their Membership In tho Order.
Boston, Deo. 2.—A Traveller special
from New York says:
Hon. Jamss I. Mulligan, postmaster
at New Brighton, N. Y„ recently
chosen provisional chairman of a com
mittee on appeal, organized to take
some decisive step toward- having the
pronunclamento that all CathollcB
sever their relations with the Knights
of Pythias, the Odd Fellows and the
Sons of Temperance under pain of ex
communication set aside, is now pre
paring an address to be presented to
Mgr. Sathlll asking for a formal re
opening of the case of the Knights of
Pythias, that tho. Catholic members
thereof may have an opportunity to
present their side of the case, Mr.
Mulligan believes that a proper presen
tation of the case to Mgr. Hatolli will
result In raising the ban against th'
Knights of Pythias and asks Catholics
throughout the country to send him
their names to attach to the petition
to be addressed to Satolli. Mr. Mulli
gan said.
"If all the Catholics in the Knights
of Pythias will co-operate In this
movement I believe Mgr. Satolli will
give them a hearing and I am sure
we will be able to prove convincingly
that there Is nothing In the constltu
tlon, by-lawB or ritual of the order that
will prevent a man from being a good
Catholic and a patriotic citizen.
THE MOHAMMEDAN UPRISING.
Chicago, Dec. 2.—Tho Rev. H. II.
Vanmeter, who prepared the missiona
ry paper bearing on the origin of the
Chinese outrages, has completed an
other on the ‘'Mohammedan Uprising,"
which 'he intends having translated and
published In every newspaper In Ger
many, Russia, France, Austria and It
aly. He says in part:
The awful atrocities 6n Armenia are
merely Mohammedan massacres, to
which the bloody Turk would commit
all mankind, not Moslem. The cause
of the Christians In Armenia, therefore,
Is not one of-any particular race or
religion, but of humanity at large and
of political and of religious liberty.'
THREE CHILDREN BURNED.
Winnlper, Dec. 2.—At Gladstone vil
lage yesterday, during the absence of
their mother, three children named
Gangel, aged 4. 2 and 1 years, were

with fire and set fire to the house,
which lias burned.

lW \VARP\VELL & CO.'S LETTER.
Now York. Dec. 2.—The features most
prejudicial li> tho Interests of the bulls
were more decline in Liverpool, the
unsettled political and financial situa
tion in Europe, some increase in the
receipts, large estimates both for New
Orleans and Houston tomorrow, de
cline in spot markets, selling on South
ern stop orders, dullness of the dry
goods trade owing to tho unseasonably
mild weather and the ubaenoe of out
side speculation in cotton. I'ndor the
pressure of these unfavorable fnctors
prices fell 8 points, though on some
covering: and a little new buying by
the South, there was a rally towards
the close which cut the net decline
down to about t points for the duy,
and the close was steady, with sales
of 226,000 bales.
Liverpool declined T-16 on the spot
and the sales were 10,000 bales, showing
less activity. Fuldres there declined
5% points. New Orleans fell 8 points
and then rallied to 3 points. The port
receipts were 38,260. against 50,228 this
day last,week and 73,601 Inst year. The
exports from tin* ports thus far re
ported are about 22,050 bales. The New
Orleans , receipts tomorrow are esti
mated at 22,000 to 21.000, against 16,417
last Tuesday and 20,398 last year and
18.530 In 1893.
In Manchester yarns and cloths were
dull. Snot cotton here Was easy and
uno(iangcd, witli sales of 217 for spin
ning and 125 delivered on contract.
Now Orleans and Savannah declined
1-16 and Augusta 74. Now Orleans sold
3,000 bales; Augusta received 1,597 bales,
against 1,085 Inst week and 2,014 lust
year; Memphis 7,688, against 6,464 last
week and 8,862 last year, and Houston
6,433, against 7.494 last week and 13,465
last year. Houston expects tomorrow
13,000 to 14,000, against 27,371 last year.
Though there may be a temporary in
crease In the cop movement, the re
ceipts this month are not expected to
bo heavy, and It Is not likely. Judging
from present appearances, that the
quantity brought Into sight even dur
ing the present week will be over 300,-
000 bales, against 487,000 Inst year, 397,-
000 In 1893 nnd 367,000 In 1892, when tho
crop was 6,700,000 bales.
The market unquestionably rallies
easily on the slightest encouragement,
and though under the Influences of fac
tors temporarily inimical to bullish in
terests. prices may go lower. We are
still of the opinion that unless there Is
a permanent and decided Increase in
the rrop movement, prices must ulti
mately take an upward omirsc. Buy
ing on the breaks and selling on the
moderate rallies Is therefore recom
mended. McIntyre & Wardweli.
HUBBARD BROS. & CO.'B LETTER.
New York. Dec. 2.—(Special.)—The
market today has been marked by tho
Indisposition of the trade to regard the
decline In Liverpool as more than a lo
cal liquidation of some foreign specu
lative accounts, as it has shown de
cided resistance to the weakness
abroad. Tho steadiness has been due
to the buying by arbitrage brokers
and to the covering by local sport op
erators who are not satisfied with the
near approach of prices In New York
to a parity with Liverpool. Outside
of the trade the Interest In tho market
has been, as Is usually the case during
December, when the tendency Is to
ward* a liquidation of the year's buel-
nrso rather than the Inception of new
enterprises. It is believed that the
movement of the crop will show some
Increase during the coming week, but
it Is also expected that Nelli Bros, will
attain reduce their estlmato below
6,500,000 bales. The knowledge of this
factor has been the foundation of some
buying orders this mornng, which were
supplied by the liquidation of the long
Interest which was disturbed by the
Inereaso In reciptB and tho reported
increased demand for fertilizers for the
coming crop. A quiet market during
the afternoon, without many changes
In prices, resulted from the divergent
factors at work In the market. Mahy
expect a better tone from Liverpool to
morrow, as they consider a reaction
due after this sharp decline. On the
other hand, there are indications of an
increase In the movement at (he Inte
rior, Hubbard Bros. & Co.
RIORDAN'8 COTTON LETTER.
New York, Dec. 2.The expected break
In Liverpool came today and caused a
further decline here. January opened
a- 8.22, Boon after the opening more
clieerful news as to the political out
look and a sharp rise In British con
sols caused a partial recovery and Jan
uary advanced to 1.21, but the news of
estimated receipts at New Orleans to
morrow of 22,000 t» 24.000 bales struck
the market between the eyee, and the
gain that had taken place was soon
lost January declining to 8.20. There
was a slight rally, however, before
the clone, which was steady with Jan
uary at 8.23a8.24. Everybody feels to
day that the price of cotton In Decem
ber Is going to be ruled by the receipts.
The bears claim that the light move
ment of November was In a large de
gree owing to ootton being held back
and that heavier receipts this month
will show this to bo Che fact Tbe re
ceipts henceforward will be watched
with more interest even If they should
show .a substantial Increase as the
bears hope and predict they will. There
may bo a material break In prices but
if they should continue to taper olt
spinners will become alarmed and a
sharp and lasting advance will follow,

NEW YORK FUTURES.
Now York. Doe. 2.—Tho cotton mar
ket opened at 5a<l points decline, recov
ered partially and closed steady at a
net loss of InO points. Cublos were dls-
nppointing, and while this morning tho
local traders were tnlklni; light move
ment, Indications In the ufternonn
pointed to a larger receipt for the
week. On the other hand, It is expect
ed that Neill Bros, will again reduco
their estimate beinw 0,500,000 hales.
This belief cheeked selling, Heavy es
timated receipts at New Orleans for
tomorrow helped to weaken tho mar
ket In the afternoon.
