A Warship Ordered to Enforce Justice for u American. Washington, March 4.—The United States has determined that Honduras must comply with demands for the punisnment of the murderer of an American citizen. Diplomatic means having1 failed, the cruiser Montgom ery has left Mobile, Ala., for there to see if the presence of an Ameri can man-of-war will not have a whole some effect upon the Honduras au thorities. The instructions to the commander of the ship are that he shall thor oughly investigate the matter and shall assist the American minister to that republic, Pierce M. 1L Young, in obtaining the prosecution of the offenders. The story of the murder of the American in Honduras, os told by the diplomatic correspondence on the sub ject is unusually Interesting. Some years ago Charles R. Renton, an American, purchased an estate near Brewer’s Lagoon, Honduras, a short distance from Trujillo, and lived there until March, 1894, when he was set upon by a number of negroes and Hondurans and killed. Mrs. Renton informed the Honduran authorities of the facts in the case and waited for them to arrest and punish the of fenders. Patience finally ceased to be a virtue. She thereupon wrote to Sec retary Gresham and substantiated her statements with the affidavits of a number of nearby residents and wit nesses of the murder. Through Min ister Young Secretary Gresham made representations to Honduras that the murderer of Mr. Renton should be punished. Honduras has diplomatic ally evaded the demands of the United States and the authorities have come to the conclusion that it is about time for the United States \o look into the matter. It is expected that the presence of the Montgomery will have a salutary effect and bring them to their sen ses. In any event it is the intention of the authorities to secure the punishment of the murderer unless lie shall have escaped from Hondu ras’ jurisdiction. An indemnity for the murder of the American has al ready been demanded and Minister Young will press this claim when the Montgomery reaches Trujillo. MISSOURI SOLONS BITTER. Speaker I’uasell and Bothwell Turn a Joke Into Wrathfulneas. Jefferson City, Mo., March 4.—Mr. Rothwell of Randolph precipitated a sensational debate in the house just before noon to-day by introducing a bill to appropriate $50,000 to erect a silver bust of Chauncey I. Fillev in Eph Houston’s "eagle nest” and pro viding that Joseph T. Tatum, Fred W. Mott and Abe Mlupsky should con stitute a committee to place the bust in place. The statue was to repre sent Filley in the act of extending forgiveness to John H. Bothwell, Major Bittinger and Bud Hastain for eliminating him from the campaign of 1893. The bill was offered as a jolte, but Speaker Russell rose in wrath to de fend Filley and declared, before the bill had been read, that the member from Randolph had violated the priv ileges of the floor and insulted the members of the house. As soon as Mr. Russell closed Mr. Bothwell said that it was not the first time the speaker has taken the floor to pour out the vials of his vic ious wrath, but it was the first time he had slunk like a dishonest cur to his kennel; refusing to let members interrogate him. The Filleyites were red hot. and following the lead of Russell made every effort to prevent any comment on the bill. Eventually 300 copies of bill were ordered printed. ISMAIL PASHA DEAD. Egypt's Deposed Kheillvo I'auet Away In Constantinople. Cairo. March 4.—Ismail Pasha died in Constontinople to-day. Ismail was the son of Viceroy Ibra him Pasha by a Circassian woman, -«4 1__1_nt loon and succeeded to Egyptian power in January, 1803. He was an ambitious ruler and it was his aim to make Egypt a powerful kingdom and to secure it in perpetuity for his own descendants. In June, 1370, he was requested to resign by his suzerain, the sultan of of Turkey, acting under the pressure of England. Having once interfered, France and England were forced to continue their policy of interference and the end came in the Anglo-Egyp tian war. The khedive was deposed and went into exile. During these fifteen intervening years he lived in London, Paris, Naples and Constants nople. lie almost rebuilt Cairo during his reign and did much for Alexandria aside from the breakwater. During the civil war in America he acquired considerable wealth by cultivating cotton, but his money went with the rest, and Egypt still feels the burden of the indebtedness which he placed upon her.

WARM IN THE SENATE CHANDLER GETS AFTER MAR TIN, HILL AND ROACH. The Kansu Senator Makes Vigorous R» ply. Declaring that the New Hamp shire Senator Ought to be In the Peni tentiary Instead of Occupying a Seat la the United States Senate—One of thi Appropriation Bills Passed. A Red Hot Senate Debate. Washington, March 2. — At the night session of the • senate the ap propriation bill was temporarily laid aside to permit Mr. Chandler to make a speech on “recent election methods of the Democratic party.” He took up the election of a number of Demo cratic senators. Concerning the elec tion of Mr. Murphy of New York, ha did not question its legislative security, but declared it was brought about by gerrymander aud various forms of electioneering larceny in which he indicated that the then governor and present senator from New York was concerned. As to the election of Martin of Kansas, Chand ler said the senator.although a Demo crat, had made a “close connection” with the Populist members of the Kansas legislature, and on bocoming a senator had secured all the Demo cratic patronage which the state of Kansas had received from the na tional administration. The Populists of Kansas were thus deceived. “They cheated to get him in,” said Mr. Chandler, “and the re sults have been what might have been expected.” As to the seat now occupied by Mr. Roach of North Da kota Mr. Chandler declared it would be filled by a Republican if there had not been the basest manipulation, in which the speaker of the house and his confederates had participated. Mr. Chandler denounced the “traitors” of that transaction. He then took up the investigation which the senate began as to the private record of Mr. Roach and read from the Record to show how action on the investigation had been avoided, “and so,” said he, “the former cashier of the Citizens’ National bank of Washington contin ues to occupy a seat as a Democratic senator." Mr. Roach sat at his desk throughout this arraignment. Mr. Chandler then revfewed in de tail the proceedings of the Kansas iugisiuture m in i: uiecuon or Mr. Martin and declared it made as vicions a record as was ever presented in electioneering fraud. “He is still here,” said Mr. Chandler, “and will remain until next Monday, when the Democratic congress comes to an ig nominous end.” Mr. Hill said he “hated hypo crites.” He referred to the “fraud by which the great Samuel Tilden had been kept from the presidential chair.” Then, turning to Mr. Chandler, he added: “We all remem ber the course of our friend Chandler at that time in going to Florida and stealing that state from the Demo cracy.” There was a tumultuous demonstration in the gallery at this point, lasting half a minute. The vice president rapped for order and then warned the spectators the gal leries would bo cleared if the demon stration was repeated. Mr. Martin replied to Mr. Chan dler's reference to him, saying no honest man ever questioned his right to his seat. No man had ever charged that he bought his seat in the senate, but could the senator from New Hampshire say as much. If one-half was true that was charged against the senator from New Hampshire, in stead of being in the United States senate he should be in the peniten tiary. Instead of the eagles that had represented the great state of New Hampshire “a buzzard had taken their place.” Mr. Frye at once arose and called Mr. Martin to order. Mr. Martin re mained standing, whereupon Mr. Manderson demanded the rule be en forced that the senator take his seat. Mr. Martin took his seat. Mr. Frye withdrew his motion calling the senator to order. Mr. Hoar at once renewed the call, saying he would withdraw it if Mr. Martin would Withdraw his objectionable words. “I can not withdraw them,” said Mr. Martin. “I meant no offense to the senate, but it is only strong lan guage that will meet some situations. ” There was further discussion as to whether Mr. Martin should be al lowed to proceed. He finally went on, withdrawing the objectionable words, although he said be could never change his mind as to their ap plication to the senator from New Hampshire. This closed the exciting event for a time and the senate re turned to the appropriation bill. But Mr. Chandler again took the floor atll:30 o'clock lor another phase of the subject, lie said he would pass over the vituperation used against him. He referred to the action of Mr. Hill in gratifying his spite against the president of the United States in canvassing the sen ate to defeat Mr. Cleveland’s nomina tion to the United States supreme court. Mr. Chandler spoke of Mr. Hill’s recent dinner at the White house and contrasted “his old hostil ity with his recent subserviency,” which had finally been repaid by one postmaster. Mr. Hill replied that he could not be purchased by a dinner at the White house and had not recom mended the postmaster at Elmira re ferred to. Mr. Hill closed at mid night. At 12:23 this morning the leg islative, executive and judicial appro priation bill was passed and the sen ate adjourned. The resolution authorizing payment to Joseph W. Ady of 83.000 to cover the expenses incurred in contesting the seat of Senator Martin of Kansas, and to the latter 81,000, was passed. A Nebraska Iturderer Hanged. Platts mouth, Neb., March 3. —Harry Hill, the murderer of Matthew Ake son, a Cass county farmer, was hanged this morning at 9:0o o’clock. His neck was broken. November 1, 1833, Hill, formerly a Washington policeman, disgraced because of drink, killed Akeson while trying to rob him. To Aid Santa Fa Reorganisation. Topeka, Kan.. March 8.—The house has passed Senator Thacher’s bill, passed by the senate, authorizing corporations to issue preferred stock. The object is to aid the Santa Fe in its reorganization plan. I SLATTERY SPEAKS. II* Deliver* an AMrm In iMUnk Without Heine Mobbtd. Savannah, tia., March 9.—Yester day afternoon Mrs. Slattery lectured to 000 women in Odd Follows’ hall. Many of the ladios at the lecture wore escorted to the hull by their husbands. Policemen wore stationed in tho square on which the hall fronts. No one was allowed to loiter about the building'. Toward the close of the lecture crowds colleu led In the vicinity, and Slattery and his wife wero followed to their hotel by thousands. Last night Odd Follows' hall was crowded to its limit, and many were turned away. Fully 1,000 men were in the hall. It is understood that a large proportion wero armed.

Outsido the hall the entire police foroe, with the exception of a few scattered through the audience, wore distrib uted so as to command the ontiro vicinity of the hall. No crowds wore allowed to congregate near the build ing. Inside the hull Slattery re ceived an ovation, and throughout his lecture he was applauded and cheered. When he declared the riot Tuesday night had shown the necessity of Protestant organization tho wild cheering lasted several minutes. Slattery was escortod back to the hotel by a large body of police. Sev eral hundred of those who had heard him followed to assist in protecting him. While there wero many people on the streets to the hotel there was no demonstration made against the ex-priest except hisses. Slattery an nounced he intended to remain in Savannah until ho oould walk tho streets without police protection. Ilis presence here will keep up excite ment, which lias been intensified by the announcement that tho A. P. A. would be perfected hero at once. Conservative men on both sides deeply deploro the existing situation. THE NATIONAL SENATE. Members Discuss the Chnndler-Mnrtln 11111 Kplsoile. Washington, March 2.—When the senate mot to-day, senators guthered in groups and discussed tho scenes of last night, tho shower of venomous epithets and the tumult on the floor and in the galleries and talked of whether steps should bo taken to up hold, us far as might be, the dignity viiuiuuui. i 11Q lillicu chief figures in the conflict, Messrs. Chandler, Hill and Martin, were early In their seats. Mr. Roach of North Dakota, who had been a silent but conspicuous figure of the conflict, was engaged in writing through the early hours of. the session. Several of the veteran Democratic leaders conferred as to what could be done without jeopardizing the passage of the appropriation bills. A land bill providing for the exten sion until January 1,1S1»7, of the time within which entries might be made on certain lands, was discussed at length and passed. Mr. Morgan, chairman of the com mittee on foreign relations and one of the United States' members of the He bring sea commission, offered a resolution directing the reference to the foreign relations committee of the president's message concerning the Retiring sea*seizure payments for an investigation during the recess, lie said that an inquiry was most desirable for a vindication of the United States. Mr. Turpie objected to immediate consideration and it went over. SPAIN TAKES NO CHANCES. Several Thousand More Troops Ordered to Cuba at Once. IiON'DON, March 2.—A dispatch re ceived here from Madrid confirms the report that the Spanish government lias issued definite orders for the im mediate transportation of seven bat talions of troops, each composed of 900 men, to Havana.

DEFEAT FOR THE CATTLEMEN. Oklahoma Legislature Passes the fill] ; Ending Free Mange In the < ountles. Guthrie, Ok., March 2.—The cattle* men made their last stand in the Oklahoma legislature yesterday and lost, both the bill putting an end to free range in any* of the counties of the territory, and the one taxing personal property in all unorganized counties and Indian reservations passing the senate and going to the governor. Their last hope for having their immense herds free and untaxed is to get the Osage reservation of several million acres detached from Oklahoma, and added to the Indian territory, and they have been tele graphing their lobby at Washington to exercise every effort to secure that end.__ PRIZE FIGHTS IN OKLAHOMA. Lower llouae Takes Actl n by Passing a BUI I ermltttng Them. Guthrie, Ok.. March 2.—The lower House of the Oklohoma legislature passed a bill allowing athletic sports, including.prize fights, to be pulled off in the territory. The bill is very lib eral, but no trouble was experienced I in rushing it through the lower I house. A large number of pugilists were in the lobby steering the bill, which, if it becomes a law, will place lots of money in circulation.

GORMAN ON FINANCE. Ttia Maryland donator Taka* I**n* With Secretary CarlUlo. Wasiunotox, Fab. 88.— After work ing until midnight last night! the sen •tora were alow in Arriving to*dajr end only e dozen were on hand whan conaiderutlon of tIto sundry civil bill was resumed and an amendment granting to Henry Tal bot, cleric of the house ways and means committee, 88,000 for assisting the senate finance committee in Its tariff work last fall was agrood to. This cleared the way for tho con test over tho financial amendment providing for an Issue of 8100,000,000 of certificates of indebtedness, of small denominations, to boar 3 per ceut Interest, in order to meet de ficiencies in the treasury. After squabbling for some time over a point of order Mr. Gorman un folded an elaborate table of figures. He said the answers mado by the sec retary of the treasury In response to inquiries by the senate on their face showed little cause for fear of a deficiency, but an analysis of these figures presented a far less hopeful aspects "I think I will bo able to demon strate," ha went on, "that the secre tary of the treasury will have a de ficiency of 830,000,000 for the calendar year and 800,000,000 for the flseal year," Mr. Gorman said the secretary's reply to the sonata stated that there was 8100.000. 000 on hand available to pay ordinary expenditures. Ho (Gorman) knew that this was a mistake, aud he went to those who had made the estimate and said: "Your figures are misleading. You have made a mistake.” lie called their attention to the fact that they had omitted the cheeks, drafts, etc., outstanding. These hud been In cluded in the monthly report. It dis closed that there was actually 807. 000,000 available. Here was a mistake of about 830,000,000 to begin with, lie itemized tho sums duo for rivers and harbors, public buildings, etc., and took up the secretary’s estimates nf receipts he hoped to have. The sec retary estimated his total expendi tures at 8330,000,000. Alroady the house had appropriated 8374.000. 000 for the year. To this tho senate would add 830,000,000 and tho total would bo 8300,000,000, while he would stake his reputation that it wchild reach 8400,000,000. "xno iruui is," saia Mr. uorman, “that they made a mistake about a year ago in making up their balances of 900,000,000, ami they have been tr.viug to adhere to it ever since." Taking up the question of gold pay ments, Mr. Gorman said that they all knew perfectly well that the govern ment would always maintain its gold payments, lie was much diverted and not u little irritated at the con stant interruptions which led him away from his line of argument. Mr. George suggested that the secretary of the treasury ought to show what he wanted without having a guardian. “I am not the guardian of the sec retary," said Mr. Gorman, "but I am sent here by n state which has never repudiated a debt and they would not keep mo here if I failed to stand for the honor and integrity of the credit of our government.” At 3:.r>0 o’clock Mr. Gorman arose and withdrew his 9100,000,000 certifi cate amendment. The Mills amendment declaring that no more bonds should be issued was declared out of order without a vote. Mistaken for a Burglar. St. Joskph, Mo., Feb. 28.—Mrs. ftobert Craig was awakened early this morning and Bcreamod at the top of her voice, telling her hus band there were burglars in the house.

TODD OP LONG RA PIDS DI8CARDS CRUTCHES. la an Interview with a Reporter llw Review* Her Experience and Tell* tha Real t'auee of the Miracle. From Alpena, Michigan, Argun. We have long known Mrn. Jan, M. Todil of I^mg Rapids, Alpena County, Mich. She hus been a end cripple. Many of her frlrnda know the ntory of her recovery; for the benefit of thong who do not we publlnh It to-day. Right yearn ago she wan taken with nervoun prontrntlon. and In a few month* with munculnr and Inflamma tory rheumatlnm. It affected her heart, then her head. Her feet be* came no nwollen nhe could wear noth- .. Ing on them; her hunda were drawn all out of ahupe. Her eyen were nwollen nhut more than half the time, her knee jolntn terribly nwollen and for eighteen montha nhe had to be held up to be dressed. One limb became entirely helpleaa, and the nkln wan no dry and cracked that It would bleed. During these eight yearn nho had been treated by a score of physicians, and has also spent much time at Ann Arbor under bent medical advice. All said her trouble was brought on by hard work and that medicine would not cure, and that rent wan the only thing which would ease her. After going to live with her daughter she became entirely helpleaa and could not even raise her arms to cover herself at night. The Interesting part of the story follows In her own words; "I wan urged to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People and at last did so. In three days after I com menced taking Pink Pills I could sit up and dress mynelf, and after using them six weeks I went home anil commenced working. I continued taking the pills, until now I begin to forget my crutches and cun go up und down steps without aid. I am truly a living wonder. “Now, If I can say anything to In duce thane who have suffered an I have to try Pink Pills, I shall gladly do so. If other like sufferers will try Pink Pills according to directions, they will have reason to thank God for creating men who are able to conquer that ter rible disease, rheumatism. I have In my own neighborhood recommended Pink Pills for the after effects of la grippe, and weak women with Impure blood, and with good results." Mrs. Todd Ib very Btrong In her faith In the curative powers of pink Pills, and says they have brought a poor, helpless cripple back to do her own milking, churning, washing, sewing, knitting and In fact about all of her household duties. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills contain all the dements necessary to give new life and richness to the blood and restore shattered nerves. They arc for sale by all druggists, or may be had by mail from Dr. Williams' Medicine Company, Schenectady, N. Y., for 60o per box; or six boxes for $11.50. •v.r; V pi ■ ■ ■ -v ’■If* ""2 Announcing the Engagement.
