Vnn WyckTnlkn Against tlio Mcnsuro nnd Gives llifl llonBons For Bo Other Congres sional Senate. WASHINGTON , Feb. 14. On'motlon of Mr. Cninoron tlio senate took up for considera tion yeas , 37 ; nays , 17 the bill Introduced nnd reported by him to Increase the naval establishment. The senators voting against Ink I lie up were Heck , Call , Cockrcll , Coke , Oeorgo of Arkansas , Maxoy , Plumb , 1'ugh , Itansom , Sherman , Vnnco Van Wyck , Vest , Voorhces , Waltliall and Wilson of Mary land. land.Mr. Mr. Cameron addressed the sonata In advo cacy of the bill. Wo should , ho said , coin- in on co at once Iho construction of ton first class protected steel cruisers , provided for In the bill. On motion of Mr. Ilnwloy an amendment was milled to the second section In thcso words : "Save that , In all their parts , tlioy should bo of American manufacture. " On motion of Mr. Morgan a section was added requiring the construction of thteo of the vessels on the 1'aclllc coast , three on the Unit of Mexico , and four on the Atlantic coast. Mr. Van Wyck Inquired whether provision was made in the bill for war vessels on the lakes. Mr. Halo ( chairman of llio committee- naval utfatr.i ) replied that a companion bill to the iiendlnit measure , which ho would call up at an early day , covered the features of floating batteries for harbor defenses , tor pedo boats , and torpedo appliances , and also of light draught gunboats for use on the western lakes. Mr. Von Wyck made a calculation that the nRgrecato amount appropriated In these bills and in iho twin ordinance bills recently passed would reach 871,000.000. ' Mr. Halo said that oven If they did , their expenditure would range through a period of irom three to six years , and therefore would only Interfere to that extent in the treasury surplus. Mr. Van Wyck said that the surplus was "problematical. " It was extremely doubtful whether then * would be any surplus lor the coming year. Men were more valuable than steel ships and fortllicatlous ho said. They would have to bo nigirardly In paying the men who offered their bodies as bulwarks ngalnst those who sought to take thu Hfo of Iho nation because , forsootli , tliero would bo no hionoy In the treasury to pav thum. Ho believed that the best way to make provision for tlio next war would bo the generous prodigality , liberality , or , rather , honesty of th'e government towards its defenders. A motion by Mr. Cameron to postpone until to-morrow the Kads Tehuantupee bill ( unfinished business ) was rejected. The naval bill was therefore laid aside , and the Emls bill taken up.

The report was adopted ana a now conference ordered. Messrs. Dolph , Teller and Cockrell being reappolntcd on the part of the senate. The senate then resumed the consideration of the Eads Tehuantepcc bill , and Mr. Mar tian replied to some of tlio arguments made by Mr. Hoar on the subject last week.

Up to that data the stock had not siifTorod much from the sever ity of the winter , but during January and the half of J'cbiuary ' lust closing storms have been of unprecedented frequency and the temperature has averaged the lowest for fif teen years. It Is not possible to ac- nratcly estimate the losses but they have been enormous , In some places amounting to practical annihilation of whole herds. A Tongtio river stockman has just returned from nn examination of the condition of his cattle and takes tlia following gloomy vlow of the situation : "At Point lignite , where my herd Is located , I saw as far as I could Bee up nud down the river , cattle were stand- ini'knco deep in snow unable to obtain a blade of crass for sustenance and gnawing the wood of willows down as n last resort.

Loulsvlllo & IMashvillo and Oregon Transcontinental were moro nctlvothan anything else , nach making a gain of about % per cent. The rest of the list was very dull and the bears were In clined to sell the market on the theory that after a period ot dullness prices were more apt to break than advanco. Comstock wc.ik- enud first and later the Grangers and the Tiunk lines began to break away. It was claimed , how ovcr , that the bull pools had matters so well in hand that no iuipoilant break was likely to occur.

It was to-day brought tc the Herald bureau by mine host Mr. J. J , Hodges , of St Paul , a private hotel at the top of Ludgato hill under the shadow of the great cathedral : "J hear that Gardiner SpofTord dlo in a small Inn at the cast end pf London , where his only friend andcompanlon was a faithful chambermaid. " Said Mr. Hodges : "To begin with , this paragraph Is unjust to the dead man and his Now York relatives , ami second , to mo and my faintly. Doubtless the Herald will be glad to tell New Yorkers how the grandson of a great clergyman who , 1 understand , preached In what Is called the 'Brick Church1 for a quarter of a century , and the son of the older member or the great firm of SpolTord & Plleston died. " I then promised to call later In the day. I did so and found n clean , snug , venerable old English inn , with Mr. Hodges' family at dinner. Said Mrs. Hodges , a matt only lady of forty : "The deceased young man lived here nearly four yeais ns ono of our family rather than as an Inn-koepor's guest. Ho came with the habit , or. if you like , an Insanity of thirst They were most unfortunate , but wo tried to cutb them. It was to our interest , of course , to prolong his life , not Jonly because ho was liberal with his money , but because wo crew fond of him. Ho was a ; sweet and amiable young man , never tired of talking about New i'ork and its watering places , and of his grandfashcr and father , whoso memories ho was very fond of , and sometimes of his dead wife. Ho died of larangitis. Wo had for him two trained nurses and two skillful physicians , ono of them Dr. Hardy. Mr SpofTord was two months abed , ttnally dying suddenly in convulsions , " Mr. Hodges added : " 1 took the remains to Liverpool and a few dajs ago received this cable dispatch from his" brother : ' .Remains arrived ; everything satisfactory. Wo send united thanks for your goodness , ' and a sim ilar dispatch cacao , signed , 'Mrs. Pearsall.

The annual subscription ball of the Concordia was given last evening m the beautiful ainl lightsome Masonic hall , There were about thrco hundred pcoplo in attendance. Ono-half of this number were masked , whllo the others acted ns spectators of ono of the most brilliant and entertaining masquerades over given in this city. Extreme care had. been taken by the management In the disposal of its cards , not the least of which was the placing of the imperturbable Stephen Moalio at the door. As n consequence the afl'air happily turned out ns Us pro jectors intended it should , In a most en- joynblo nnd unobjectionable manner. Tno costumes , whllo not rich , were yet both tasty nnd entertaining. There wore Spanish , Turkish , Russian and Tyrolean maidens , fcmalo jock eys , chimuoy-sweops , vivandicrcs and and bablus , together with fat boys , elderly deacons , clowns , Greasers mm monks. The incognito of each was excellently - collontly maintained , and many conject ures were made as to the individuality which lay beneath the disguise.When the hour for unmasking arrived , the mis takes m iduntillcation which had pre viously boon inado were numerous. They wore , all , however , happily recti fied amidst hearty peals of laughter. After the unmasking , many of the spec tators took part in the dance , nnd nearly all of thcso were members of the loading German families of the city. The post masking programme comprised sixteen numbers , which were admirably run- dered by the Musical Union orchestra. The supper was excellent and was served by Joe Adolph. The committee in charge was as follows ! Aug. Sohaofcr , J. 1' , Lund , Etnil Ackormann , Geo. Straltman , Kich Engclmauu , L. Grob- bucket- aim Julius Moyer. Om\lMAKiit3' ! UNION. For the sixth tune , the Cigarmakors , International Union No. 03 , of Omaha , mot tiioir friends in the ball room at Ger- mania hall. There were about thrco hundred people present. All of them were young and endowed with the clas tic spirits of youth and good fellowship to thoroughly appreciate the occasion. The programme comprised twenty-four numbers and thcso were played by the Philharmonic orchestra. During tlio intermission , a palatable supper was spread by Mrs. Knnmcl. Ono of the features of the programme was the dedi cation of a number of each to the leading labor unions of the city , notably the typos , the bricklayers , carpenters , plasterers , horso-shoors , lathers , plumb ers , tailors , locomotive engineers , loco motive firemen , brakemen , switchmen , Knights of Labor , lady cigarniakurs , legal friends and the press. J'ho cards were cream tinted with wavy bevollefl edges , and on the first page was a bunch of uronzcd cigars which gave worthy ad vertisement to the blue label. The afl'air was a pronounced success , in fact , the most successful over given by the Cigar- makers' union. The management of the affair was in the hands of the following : Committee of arrangements. Chair man , Hcsselbrook , C. Christiansen , G. G. Digulla , II. C. llonkomp , M. Sohinkor , C. L.

A Magnificent Musical Performance to a Small Audience. The exposition building scorns fateful to all musical enterprises , no matter how great the attraction or how low the price of admission. The concert last night was a veritable epoch , presenting as it did a trio of artists such as Omaha will scarcely have an opportunity of listening to again , yet to the shame of our people , bo it said , the audience was a yory mod erate one. Those who present endeav ored to atone in warmth for the lack in numbers , nnd Musin and Grebclli were given such an ovation as has never be fore boon tendered to any artist who lias visited our ungrateful city. English is too impoverished to do jus tice to the world's greatest violinist and contralto. Grebelli s is ono of tlioso rare voices of pure contralto quality of won derful depth yet with the irresistible sweetness of the cello. Her ranee is largo , and her voice perfectly smooth and oven. It is not only a great majeslic voice but ono that would never weary. Even Scalchi is not greater. Musin was just as great a treat to lov ers of the violm. The instrument seemed possessed under the witchery of his touch gave forth sounds weird or joy ful. Uis playing was vigorous and im passioned yet exquisitely delicate. Herr Steindorff furnished the instru mental complement and showed himself a pianist of much merit. His playing was clean and oven and marked with much intelligence. Peoples Theater. The Edwin Stuart Tnoator company appeared at the above theater last night and every nvailnblo scat nnd space was taken up by a delighted and enthusiastic audience to witness Lester Wallack's great play of "Itoscdalo , or the Kille Ball. " Edwin Stuart in the character of Elliott Gray , the hero , was perfection- possessed of a handsome ) personal ap pearance , ho looked the dragoon oflicor to the hfo. Ills action in the gypsy camp was marked -by n thorough appreciation of the character and won the enthusiastic applause of the largo nnalonco present. Lilah Stuart , in tlio character of Hosa Leigh , was as handsome and bewitching a little body as it is our wish to sco. Her every appearance was greeted with in tense satisfaction. She was all life and animation , keeping the audience- good humor from beginning to finish of the play. The company supporting these stars is superior to many wo have soon , the introduction of genuine United States troops in the fourth act being novel , in fact the detail paid to thu mounting of tlio piece reflects credit upon Manager Walton , who spared no effort to make the picco a success. The costumes of the cntlro company were elegant. The play was a success in every wny. It will bo reproduced again to-night and all should attend. WAFTED JWOSI WA.HOO.

IT IS WONDERFUL how easily rheumatism begins and how in sidiously it grows in the system , until one is startled to find himself the victim in. cither the acute or chronic form , He then learns the fearful tenacity of its g-ilp nnd the utter powcrlc'sness of the ordinary remedies to give relief. Probably to no disease have physicians given more study , nnd none 1ms more com pletely bafllcd their efforts to provide a spe cific ; and until Athlophoros was discover ed there was no medicine that would surely cure rheumatism , neuralgia nnd narvous sick headache , Thousands of testimonials like the following prove beyond question thai Athlophoros is the only reliable reme dy , and that it will do all lhat Is claimed for it.
