This was agreed to after Mr. Lock „0od. Democrat of New York, had tried to have the duty increased. Air. Wilson then offered an amend ment to reduce the duty on precious stones cut but not set from fifteen to ton per cent advalorem. He said that this was to correct a mis-print in the bill. Mr. Cannon, Republican of Illinois, jokingly said that he desired to call the attention of his colleague (Mr. Hunter! to the fact that if this amend ment carried his (Mr. Hunter's)speech of thirty years standing would be de stroyed. After Mr. Holman of Indiana had moved as an amendment to the amendment to increase the dnty on previous stones to 30 per cent, Mr. Hunter mado a bitter reply to Mr. Cannon's remarks and concluded by saying that in this house he never had been and never would be guilty of the vulgarity and indecency which had for two years driven that member into political'exile. Hisses and jeers from the Republican side greeted this. Ir. a moment Mr. Cannon was on his feet, a burning flush upon his cheek. He had been in congress for twelve years, he said, while his colleague was serving his first term. His reference to that gentleman’s speech had been entirely good natured. For twenty live years upon the hustings he had seen his colleague wrap his coat around him (as he said this Mr. Can non in imitation of Mr. Hunter drew | himself up in mock solemnity) and heard him say that ..he stood for the common people whose clothes were tdxed eighty per cent and whose shelter was taxed fifty per cent while the bonds of the rich were taxed only ten per cent. And for the past twenty-five years he had stumped Illinois on that plea, con cluding his peroration by saying: ‘■Not all the blood of the crucified Christ on Calvary could wipe out such infamy." “And now,” continued Mr. Cannon, “the gentleman comes here and drags in a reference to a remark I made in the Fifty-first congress in the hurry of running debate, a remark that was misrepresented all over the country. He does this with the true instinct of an unfair debater.- I will ant characterize this as the subterfuge of a weak man. ” Mr. Hunter withdrew his offending remark and Mr. Cummings, Democrat, of Xew York, made a very sensational speech denouncing his colleague, Mr. Cockran. for his position on the dia mond schedules and alleging that the latter was acting in the interest of diamond importers after having prom ised to stand by the diamond cutters. bond issue held wronq.

C'RI.ISIE on the bond issue Secretary Appears Before the House Judiciary Committee. ’Washington, Jan. 27.—For the first j'ne in this congress every member of ] ll‘ judiciary committee of the house attended its meeting yesterday, the magnet being Secretary Carlisle’s statement of his position on the bond ,,sl'e- The resolution of Representative alley of Texas, declaring it to be the Lnse of the house that the secretary •*»° authority to apply the proceeds the bonds to any purpose but re "'aption, was before the committee. I,r- Carlisle spoke in an informal anner for an hour and a half, and s questioned bv several members of ® committee. It was held by the .cretary that the law. conferred upon him the authority to iseue bonds,'al though he stated frankly that until recently he had not entertained that opinion of the question. Great prea sure has been brought to bear upon him, he said, for the bond issue, and, although he regretted the necessity for it, as tlic step did not seem to meet the unanimous approval of the party, yet it was piain to him the necessity was imperative at this . ie: * detlcit of $48,000,000 would exist at the end -of the fiscal year, he estimated under existing conditions, or as a result of proposed tariff legisla tion, unless congress gave relief to the treasury, which he hoped it would PRIZE FIGHT ECHOES. Corbett Sorry He Didn’t Fonleh Mitchell More. Jacksonville, Fla., Jan. 3?.—After the biff fight Corbett said to a reporter: “What do I think of it? 1 think of it now as I did before the fight. I never harbored any doubt as to the result. Poor Billy Brady, the Lord bless his little soul, has been doing all the worrying. He trained for tne thing in a mental way more than I did to condition myself, and I’ll bet right now that his nerves have undergone a test ten-fold more than mine. I al ways sized the man up for just what he has been credited with possessing and that which he lacked most—sci ence and strength. “I ran in on a few of his leads in the first round just to see what, if any thing, he had up his sleeve. I found it empty. I never entered a ring in my life, and I hope never again to do so, with more of murder in my heart than I had when I got in the same ring with Mitchell. X had two separ ate and distinct battles to win. Some time since Mitchell applied to me a name which I should scorn to hurl at the vilest of wretches. ThiB was one reason why I refused to shake hands with him. The handshake would _ have been the action of a hypocrite. I notified the referee not to call upon me to grasp his hand as I should decline 'to do so publicly. T am glad that this was spared me. In cutting down Mitchell in the first and second rounds I won the personal is sue. In knocking him out in the third round, I won the purse and retired Mitchell's aspirations for the cham pionship. I am proud of both accom plishments, and with the personal vindication and the financial gain, I am content to rest on my oars until next June, when I hope to demon strate to the people who think to the contrary that I. have a punch or two left over from this battle for Jack son,” “What will your plans for the future be?” was asked. “I shall finish up a short tour which Brady has arranged, rest up a bit and then get ready for Jackson.” “How about the challenge indirectly issued by Ed Smith this afternoon?” Corbett laughed, that was all. Corbett and Mitchell Make Bp. Corbett and Mitchell met in the court room last evening and through the efforts of Joe Vendig the long cherished animosity of the two men toward each other was buried. Though they had not exchanged the usual hand-shakes in the ring, either before or after the battle, they cordially shook hands in the court room. Mitchell made a little speech in which he acknowledged having ut tered many bitter things against Cor bett, but said he regretted tnem and was glad he had been whipped by a man worthy ip every way to wear a champion's honors. Ex-Champion Sullivan’s Opinion. Wilmington, Del., Jan. 37.—John h. Sullivan said that he expected Corbett to win, but he did not think that Mitchell would be whipped in less than ten rounds. “It was a case of a good little man against a good big man, and the big man always wins in such a case,” said the ex-champion. When asked if he intended to chal lenge the winner Sullivan said he had not yet made up his mind, as Cor bett already had a match on with Peter Jackson. He would wait until that was over' before deciding about a challenge to Corbett. What Peter Jackson Says. Pittsiiukg, Pa.. Jan. 37.—Peter Jack son said last night: “1 do not want to say too much about the battle, but let me say, emphatically, that Charles Mitchell has proven himself one of the most courageous of men that ever en- ’ tered the ring. After to-day nobody can say that Mitchell is a coward. Why, he is as game a little man as ever stepped. I have to fight Corbett next June, and sincerely hope I will beat him.”_■ HAD TO BE HANGED TWICE. Bungling Work Done In the Execution of George II. Painter In Chicago. Chicago, Jan. 37.— George H. Painter was hanged at four minutes past 8 o'clock this morning for the murder of Alice C. Martin. The rope broke at the first attempt and the doomed man was picked up limp. Another rope was secured and he was hanged a sec ond time. The first rope used was the same that was used in hanging the an archists. The scene was a trying one to the people who were present. The jail physician said the second hanging was unnecessary as Painter's neck was broken when lie first dropped. Painter smoked a cigar on his way to the scaffold and tried to retain his composure. After prayer by the Rev. Moerdyke, he stepped forward and in a faltering voice said: “Men have sought death because they thought there was advancement in future life. To-day I bate death. I don’t waht to die. If I killed Alice Martin, the woman I dearly loved, I nray this minute, my last on earth, that tho eternal God will put me into eternal hell. Gentlemen, if there is a man among you who is an American in his soul, 1 say, see that the mur derer of Alice Martin is found, Good bye.” ___ Clyde Mattox Sentenced to Death.

Proceeding* In the Senate. Washington, Jan.27.—The Hawaiian question came prominently before the senate again yesterday, and after an hours’ br.sk discussion went over until to-day. The result of the debate was to show there Is division in both party ranks on the wisdom of adopting the resolution reported by the foreign re lations committee. Senator Vest ob jected to it on the ground it indicated the project for annexation might be more favorably received in the future, and Senator Allison and other Repub licans objected to it on the ground that according to their interpretation the resolution pledged the senate as altogether opposing the principle of annexation and as approving the policy of the president in this respect, A half dozen amendments are rov pending to modify its phraseology, and it is likely to be snbjected to ma terial changes before final adoption. At 2 o’clock the bill repealing the federal elections laws came up as un finished business, Senator Lodge then took the floor in opposition to the bill repealing the federal elections laws. At 3:05 the senator concluded his remarks, and on motion of Senator Allison, the senate went into executive session. At 3U5 the doors were again opened, and Senator Coke of Texas, called up the bill authorizing the Gulf, Beau mont and Kansas City railroad to bridge the Neches and Sabine rivers In Louisiana and Texas. This meas ure was made the occasion of a de tailed discussion by Senator Vest of the recent veto by Cleveland of the New York and New Jersey bill. The bill passed, several minor amendments being first adopted. Tlie bill extending the time for the construction of the bridge across the Calumet river, Illinois, the senate bill authorizing the issue of a patent to the Presbyterian Board of Home Mis sions for certain lands on the Omaha Indian reservation for school purposes, and the house bill to authorize the secretary of the interior to reserve from sale certain land in the abandon ed Fort Cummings military reserva tion were passed, and then at 4 p. m. the senate adjourned. CORBETT IS STILL CHAMPION. He Knock* Out M tchell, the English man, In Three Rounds. Jacksonville, Fla.,.Tan. 25.—Corbett is still the champion of champions. Mitehel1, who was to have knocked him out or at least have given him a hard fight, was never in it. The battle was never in doubt a moment, and Mitchell was cleanly knocked out in the third round, after being repeatedly knocked down. BATTLE BY BOUNDS. At 2 o'clock Corbett appeared in the ring and was greeted with tumultu ous applause by fully 2,000 men. He was attired in a long bath robe. At 2:05 o'clock Mitchell appeared and was given a reception almost equal to that of Corbett He smiled as he entered the ring. Mitchell’s seconds were Jim Ilall, Pony Moore, Tom Allen and Steve O'Donnell and Timekeeper Bat Master son and Corbett's seconds were John Donaldson, Billy Delaney, Jack Dempsey and William McMillan and Timekeeper Ted Foley, with “Snap per” Garrison timekeeper for the club. Then the men were called to the center and instructed by the referee. As they faced each other Mitchell looked diminutive. At 2:15 the men shook hands and the fight was on Corbett led with his left on Mitchell’s chin. Then they clinched and exchanged body blows and Jim reached Charlie’s left eye heavily, while Mitchell reached the ribs. An other exchange followed and Mitchell clinched and Mitchell got in one on Corbett’s neck. J im then landed right and right again as time was called, giving Mitchell a good body blow. Honors were easy in the first round. Second Round — A wild exchange and a clinch opened the contest. Cor bett uppercut his man as they came together. Mitchell landed hard on the ribs and, as Mitchell came in, Jim caught him on the head, staggering, him. Corbett uppercut Mitchell again and landed with his right on Charlie’s ribs, Mitchell reaching Jim's chin. A sharp rally, with Corbett having all the best of it, followed. Mitchell got in twice on Corbett's neck, but Cor bett knocked him down twice in suc cession. Third Round—Mitchell was rather groggy. Corbett rushed at him and swung his right and left heavily on Mitchell’s neck. Charlie went down. He took the full time to rise and then Corbett rushed at him like a tiger. Mitchell clinched but Corbett threw him off, and floored him with a stiff facer. Again he took all the time to rise and when he advanced toward Corbett the latter swung his right with deadly effect on Charlie's nose. Mitchell reeled and fell on his face, helpless. The referee counted 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, (i, 7. 8, 9, 10, and Mitchell was knocked out. The referee then declared Corbett winner of the match and champion of the world.

Rapidly Omlat to Ika, Front—Tha Real Batata Market A« «l*a—No Boom, bnt Health/ Coadl tloas Prevail—A Good Opportunity for Inreatoro. Globe-Democrat. Mr. O. W. Crawford, secretary of the National Real Estate association, in talking over the situation, said: It is interesting to note the plaints of the people. ' You see by what small limits human vision is circumscribed. When this term, of financial depression com menced, labored editorials appearing in hundreds of newspapers, put a tale of woe in the mouths of the whole peo ple. It is startlingly true that the masses speak the words that the press gives them, to speak. The country was suffering a relapse from, booming. The real estate men had promoted the booms—those I’an dora Iloxes. So said the press. Right here let mo say that real estate men, simon pure, are not boomers. The boomers are the lawyers, the doctors, the livery stable men, professors, board ing house keepers and carpenters, who unasked and unneedod, flood our ranks, and like Jonah's gourd, come up in a night They serve no apprenticeship; without knowing the multiplication table, they tackle the most abstruse problems la the calculus of our busi ness. There has been no malignant real estate fever in the United States for several years The last was in Cali fornia, and that was almost ancient history when these bad times sot in. The papers have since found in turn several all-sufficient causos for full bank vaults and empty factories The press said free silver or silver that is not free. The people took up tho shout. The press now exclaims, "Too much tariff" or "Too little tariff.” Thank fortune they have stopped talking about real estate booms. There is only one place In the United States that I know where there is any marked real estate activity. That is at Houston, Texas. Hut it cannot grow into a boom, for the agents told me when I was there last-week that the purchases were small and 90 per cent of them for cash. The clearing house re ports have advertised Houston's Ifetsiness as out of all proportion to its popula tion. All railroads run about half fare, round trip excursions, once a month to Texas The next one starts the 13th of February. They are ail alive down there, let me tell you. Everybody is helping I to advertise their fruit lands. The New Hutchins house sends free a beautifully illustrated book of several hundred pages, to every one who writes for it I believe that the cash now hoarded in banks, and which by the way don't belong to the banks, but to the people, will be invested in reul estate. The large subdividers in Chicago tell me an unusually large percentage of their sales are for cash. On* Hundred Miles nn Hour* The real danger in increasing the speed of express trainB driven by steam does not lie in accidental risk. It is not denied that a modern locomotive might be built which could run up to 90 or possibly 100 miles ad hour, if the lines were straight. It is the curves of the existing lines which render such speeds impossible, unless the weight of the engines and trains wore increased i far beyond what the bridges and per manent way would bear. At the first sharp curve the 100-mile express would fly off the rails. The necessary rela tion of these curves to speed is accu rately known, and it is that, and not the want of power, or novel dangers from wind pressure or boiler explosions which sets the limit to modern train speed. As the force tending to throw off the line a train running at the speed of 150 miles an hour would be about six and one-half times greater than that which a steam express train resists at a curve when running at sixty miles an hour, it is plain that the present lines, could not be used for the "lightning express,” even though tho electric mo tor were substituted for the steam en gine. The linos must not only be stronger, but straightcr than would be possible by any modification of their prose n’t form.—The Spectator-. The Musiulmon's l>evotion.

In the cool shadows Mussulmans of all ages are prostrating themselves before the Miii rab—the small shrine which in every mosque shows the exact direction of Mecca—or before the sacred writings in other parts of the wall. There is profound relief and devotion in their attitudes, gestures and accents, a belief as superior to tho idolatrous superstition of the far east as it is be yond the conviction of the ordinary Christian in simplicity and sincerity. It is indeed impossible to spend much time among Mussulmans without ac quiring the certainty that they are pro foundly in earnest ill religious matters, and that the unfurling of the standard of the prophet which is occasionally hinted at as a vague possibility would ' be productive of results not dreamed of in the philosophy of Europe.
