WASHINGTON. D. C. , 5-i.r
There was n very lively scene Ic the equity
court to-day during the argument of a motion
In the celebrated Sum Strong tunnel claim
case , In which General Benjamin F. Butler
nnd Mr. Browning , n well known local at
torney , participated. General Butler was
explaining some allegations made by Brown
ing when the latter observed : "I thought
wo had the opening and the closing. " Gene
ral Butler , who many years ago In congress
made himself famous for sarcastic remarks ,
nnd coined the celebrated phrase In retort to
Sunset Cox , "Shoo fly , don't bother me , "
waved his hand nt Browning nnd hissed : " 1
don't propose to bo snapped nt by a cur. "
Mr. Browning sprang to his feet and replied
in a passion : "I don't ' propose to DO bull
dozed by a bull dog. " .It looked ns .though a
fight would bo the result , when the court ,
Judge Cox , Interposed and ordered a cessa
tion of hostilities.
NEW VESSELS FOIl SASIOA.
'
Secretary Tracy , when nskod this evening
what further news he had from Samoa , re
plied that nothing bad been received since
the dispatches which had appeared in the
newspapers of the country , nnd ho did not
expect to hoar anything .jloftnltcly until the
arrival of the official report ot Admiral
Kimberly , which ho supposed is now on the
way. "Three vessels were ordered to Sa
moa to-day , " said the secretary , "to take the
place of the three which have been wrecked.
The Alert sails from Honolulu , and
will nrrlvo In Apia about forty days from
this time. She will roach the Island before
any of the German vessels can got there.
The Richmond has been ord orcd to sail nt
once from Montevideo , She will sail round
the Horn , nnd will roach Samoa in about
sixty days. The Adams Is nt Sun Francisco ,
where she will bo detained , in all probabil
ity , for twenty days or more. She is on tlio
docks and instructions have been given to
hasten the repairs and get her ready for sea
at the earliest possible moment. She will
make the trip from San Francisco in about
forty days. The Monongahola , which sailed
on the 31st of February , will nrrivo in Apia
about ten days from now. She has an.umplo
cargo of coal , stores and clothing , anu will
bo prepared to take care of tbo seamen who
still remain In Samoa. "
"How many American seamen are on the
Island i" was asked
'Tliero are about seven hundred in all , "
was the reply. "Of these three hundred nro
probably on their way homo now , nnd four
hundred nro still on the islands. The Mo-
nongnholu will bring buck those not needed
for the other vessels , which will arrive
there. I cannot say just yet how many of
them will bo brought back. "
"Havo you nny official information concerning -
corning the policy of the German govern-
mentl" "Nothing more than wo have seen
in the newspapers. It is reported that the
three German vessels have been ordered to
proceed from the blockading squadron now
at Zanzibar. It will require fifty or , sixty
days for those vcsbcls to reach Samoa. " "Is
it the intention of the government to main
tain a licet In Samoa constantly ) " "For the
present nt least , yen , but I don't think the
vessels will bo needed. I 'havo every confi
dence In the ability of the gentlemen who
havo.been sent to Germany to represent the
United States in the conference , nnd I feel
sure thut all the difference of opinion be
tween this country nnd Germany in the mat
ter of the settlement of the Samoan question
will bo settled , nnd thnt. it will bo but u short
tlmo time after the conference adjourns before
fore wo shall bo ublo to order our vessels
elsewhere. In the meantime , however , wo
will keco a small fleet In the vicinity of the
Islands. "
CONdltESS OP AMERICAN NATIONS.
The delegates appointed to the congress
of American nations will meet in
Washington cry shortly to perfect
nu organization und look over the ground.
The success of the congress will depend
largely upon the number of nutlons that
accept. Thu last administration was not in
sympathy with the movement and did little
or nothing to promote interest in it. Mr.
Bayard sent a formal Invitation to the several
nations invited to participate but did not
make any attempt to arouse enthusiasm or
give the affair any'more than ordinary atten
tion. For that reason the South American
republics have hold off to see what would
happen , but now thnt It Is known Mr. Blaine
intends to make .this congress the feature of
his foreign policy it is expected that more
Interest will bo shown. AU of tbo Central
American republics , Venezuela , the Argen
tina Republic , Uruguay and Paraguay have
formally accepted. Brazil and Mexico hnvo
indicated their Intention to accept. Nothing
lias been heard from Columbia , Ecuador ,
Peru- Bolivia or Chill. Columbia and
Bolivia are in n state of political confusion ,
nnd it is doubtful whether nny representative
will appear hero from Bolivia and Columbia
will probably send any other than the minister -
tor resident , Mr. Hurtudu" . Peru is bank
rupt nnd would scarcelybo ublo to pay com
missioners if she desired to send them.
Ecuador is probably walling to see what
Chill will do , the latter nation bus consist ,
untly opposed nny guthoringTif its neighbors
or nny attempt on their1 part to enter into
political alliances. The well known purpose
of Chili to obtain political control of the entire -
tire wast coast makes her hostllu so such a
congress as is proposed as well as to any
other measures looking towards a settlement
of International difficulties by arbitration.

thnt there will bo action taken on the mur-
Bhalahlp for Utah till the Utah commission

Tlio nomination to-day of John N. Huston
of Connorsville , Ind. , to bo treasurer of tbi
United Suites to succeed Hyatt , waspromntlj
confirmed by the senate. It wo PrcslJpn
Harrison's intention to nominate Mr , Huitoi
two or three wc k BOJ but drafts for pay
ment In the third quarter of the fiscal year
were being made out by the treasurer , nnd
the nomination was delayed for that reason.
Huston Is a banker , manufacturer and largo
real estate owner. Ho has a liandsomo for
tune and says the appointment will bo ac
cepted , simply that ho may reward his
friends with patronage. Ho is about forty-
six years old , tall , slender , full of energy
nnd possessed of good business qualifications.
His first introduction In politics was by elec
tion 10 the Indiana senate in ! Sb2. Ho wns

committee. In ISStJ. when Senator Harrison
was fl candidate for and came so near re-elec
tion. Huston managed the campaign so
skillfully thnt General Harrison requested
him to remain at tlio head of the committee
lust year nnd ho did so. Ills appointment Is
a good one for every reason.
MOKE SHIPS FUR SAMOA.
The Klclimond , Alert nnil Adams to
Be Ulspntchnd nt Once.
WASHINGTON , April 1. The navy depart
ment Is making every effort to secure nd-
equate representation at Samoa. Orders
were sent out to-day to hnvo the Richmond ,
iVlcrt nnd Adams sent to Apia at the earliest
practicable moment.
Wlillo the vessels ordered to Samoa to-day
nro fair vessels of their kind , yet they are by
means equal to the three vessels which
were wrecked , and are of antique typo com
pared .with the vessels of the German East
African licet which have been ordered to
Samoa. The old Richmond Is the largest
of the vessels thut will go down. She was
uullt In Norfolk In 1S5S , and Is of 2.700
tons burden , U23 feet long , 42 } foot
broad , and 17.4 draft. Her speed Is
sot down as nine and one-halt knots when in
trim , but she Is doubtless foul and much re
duced in speed by her stay in the South At
lantic waters , tjho is commanded oy Cap
tain A. N. Reed , with LleutonunV Comman
der Louts Klngsloy and Lieutenants
W. H. Everett , J , H. C. Coffin. F. H.
Crosby , J. M. Robinson and J. O. Nicholson.
Her complement Is twcnty-ninoofllcnrs and
831 men. The battery Is headed by twelve
ten-Inch smooth bores , ono eight-inch muz
zle-loading rifle , and ono sixty-pound breech
loading rillo , two twenty-pound breech
loaders nnd some smaller guns.
The Alert Is a 1,000 ton vessel , built by
John Roach In 1S75. She carries twontv-ono
ofliccis nnd 127 men. She is rated nt ten
knots , is 1713 feet long by 32 fectboam , draws
12Jf feet of water , and carries a battery of
one eleven-inch and ono nine-inch smooth
bores , one sixty-pound rlllo nnd four smnll
guns In a secondary battery. Her officers
are Commander James 13. Graham and Lieu
tenants John Gurvin , F , E. Greene , J. T.
Moore , J. Parker , C. D. Bosttco and W. G.
Hannum.
Tlio Adams Is rated nt 1.375 tons. She
was built in 1S70 at Boston , by Donald Mc
Kay. Her length is 18T foot by
thirty-five feet beam , nnd 13.3 draft. She Is
sot down as a li.3-knot ship , with a battery of
four nine-inch smooth bores , ono 8-lnch muz
zle loading rltlo , ono sixty-pound muzzle load
ing rifle nnd five guns in n secondary battery.
The detail for the Adams was almost com
pleted this afternoon. She will bo under di
rection , of Commander Edwin T. Woodward.
There \vill bo no new orders In regard to
Satnonn affairs given to the commanders of
the vessels. Admiral Kimberly will
remalm at Apia and will continue
in command of the squadron. Tno
admiral has considerable discretion vested in
him nnd may to a considerable extent excr-
ciso his own judgment ns to what should bo
done should anything occur to render new
instructions advisable , they can bo prepared
and sent to Samoa long before the war
vessels get there.
BniiMN , April 1. The cruiser Sperbor and
the corvette Alexandrine will depart for
Samoa to replace tbo German war ships
wrecked at Apia.
-
Will Probably Adjourn To-day.
WASHINGTON , April 1. It seems to bo the
universal expectation among senators that
the senate wilt adjourn the present special
session sine die to-morrow. President Harrison
risen has sent in about throe hundred nnd
fifty nominations since the Gth of March , all
of which , with very few exceptions , have
been reported from the committee nnd will
have been confirmed before adjourn
ment. Of the offices yet to be filled
the most important are commissioner of the
general land olfico nnd public printer. It Is
believed that they will bo filled within a few
days. Editor Osborno , of the Los Angeles
Express , is believed to bo the man selected
for public printer , but no satisfactory guess
can bo made as to the laud commissioner.
The general opinion is thnt W , E. Meredith ,
of Chicago , who was supposed to bo the
coming man for public printer , will succeed
E. O. Graves as superintendent of the
bureau of engraving und printing.

1-1113 NATIONAL SENATE.
Mr. Teller States Ills Ohjcctlons to
Kxeontlvn Sessions.
WASHINGTON , April 1. Soon after the
opening of the scnnto to-day Mr. Teller
offered the following resolution :
Resolved , That hereafter all executive
nominations shall bo considered In open ses
sion of the senate.
Ho said : "I do not Intend to ask consid
eration of this resolution at this time. , I
merely offer It that It may bo referred to the
committee on rules. At the next regular
session of tbo senate , If I llvo to bo present ,
I Intend to press that resolution In season
and out of season. I have never believed
that there was any reason why executive
nominations .should bo considered by the
senate with closed doors. I ntn satisfied
that the great majority of the people of the
United States , irrespective cf party , nro of
the same opinion , I nai tired of giving ray
reasons to the senate with closed doors for
the votes which I give , aad of seeing in the
newspapers the next day entirely different
reasons nscribcd to mo , nnd not infrequently
no reason nt all. I have never expressed n
sentiment nor plvon a vote In the scnnto
with the doors closed which I would not
give in the open saato. 1 do not behove that
any considerable number of senators dcslro
to shield themselves from public criticism or
public gaze In matters of this kind.
"While I admit that In considering ques
tions of international relations there may bo ,
nnd frequently are. times when the senate
should sit. with closed doors on account of
great public Interests , I can conceive of no
reason why wo should close our doors when
wo are asked to pass on the qualifications of
men nominated for public ofllco. "
"I do not dcslro to conceal from the public
nny action of mine In reference to such mat
ters. On the contrary , I am exceedingly
anxious that when I exorcise u constitutional
and senatorial duty here , I may execute It In
the face of the whole world , or at least so
much of the world that has a right to call
mo in question for my conduct nnd that is
the pcoplo of the United States. I believe
that the time has coma when publio senti
ment will not tolerate the closing of
our doors on the inero question of
confirmations. I believe thnt that
practice is ono of the agencies that
is calculated to bring the American
senate into disrepute and into contempt , for
the pcoplo will believe , under the charges
that nro made day by day , that wo are
afraid to express our views la public , that
there Is some truth In thorn , Newspaper
men , with their zeal , must find some reason
for our conduct , and very frequently put in
our mouths things wo never said nnd never
thought. "
The resolution was referred to the com
mittee on rules.
Mr. Stewart offered n resolution , which
was laid over till to-morrow , thnt the sonnto
has learned with profound sorrow of the
death of John Bright , and remembering his
constant and unwavering friendship for the
United States , desire to join with the parlia
ment of his own country in paying a grate
ful tribute to ono who , during his long pub
lic life , was conspicuous in his devotion to
the cause of freedom and humanity.
Messrs. Sherman and Ransom.reported
that the committee appointed to wait on * the
president and inquire whether ho
had any further communication to
make to the senate , had been
advised by the president that ho would to
day communicate to the senate certain mes
sages , but that after to-day no other mes
sages would bo sent , except of a formal char
acter , to fill vacancies as they arise.
The senate then proceeded to oxecutlvo
business. While the doors were closed vari
ous resolutions were reported and agreed to ,
authorising several committees to sit during
the recess.
Adjourned till to-morrow.
The Executive Session.
WASHINGTON , April 1. In secret ses
sion of the escnato there
to-day was con
siderable discussion upon the nomination of
delegates to the congress of American na
tions , to bo held In this city next autumn.
Objection was mi do to them by the demo
crats on the ground that they were almost
unanimously republican in politics , and if
their report wns to have the weight before
the country and with congress that it ought
to have , there should be a more equitable
division between the two parties. Mr. Sher
man , chairman of the foreign relations com
mittee , which had recommended the con
firmation of the list , stated thnt three of them ,
namely , AVhyte ( Md. ) , Trescott ( S. O. ) , and
Hanson ( Gu. ) , were democrats. The minor
ity senators , however , insisted that Trescott
and Hun.son were mugwumps , not demo
crats , und ought not to bo so considered.
Mr. Fryo criticized the list of the appoint
ments , saying that so far as he know , with a
single exception none of the delegates named
out to have been appointed. . Ho said thut
Whyto was opposed to paying subsidies to
ocean steamship lines , being Interested in
the operation of cllpuor ships trading with
South American countries , a statement
which Gorman is said to have confirmed.
The report of the committee wont over
until to-morrow without action by general
consent , there being no formal motion or ob
jection entered ,

the lower floor. Up stairs an old man named
Jung lived with his son and two daughters
and they wore awakoncd about 3 o'clock by
tbo smell of smoke which seemed to come
from the room below. The son
got up nnd going outsldo saw
smoke bouring from the lower rooms. Ho
smashed in the window , but got no response ,
and then turned in un alarm. It was an
awful sicht thnt mot the eyes of the firemen ,
who arrived at the house soon after 8. In
the middle room , the doors of which had
been tightly closed , the charred bodies of
Mrs. Klnlin and two sons , John nnd George ,
ngcd six and four years respectively , were
found. Later thu body of Richara , ugcd two
years , was found in the basement , n hole
having been burned through the floor ,
through which the body had fallen.
Tlinro was every Indication that the mother
had deliberately burned herself and children
to death. They hud nil occupied the same
bed. The sniolco from the flro built beneath
it had Binotherml them all. Mrs. Kinlin's
body wns terribly disfigured and the children
were horribly burned. Mra. Klnlm's bus-
band , who was n carpenter , died about ten
months ago and she supported herself by
taking in washing.
G ( guilt lur Consolidation.
NEW YOUK , April 1. [ Special Telegram
to TUB 13in. ] Messrs , Gould and Huntington -
ton have a plan which , if carried out , will
rc-sult in a consolidation of railroad systems
such as this country has nover'seen boforo.
A broker who claims to have intimate knowl
edge of Mr. Gould's plans said : "Boforo
many weeks the Atchlson , Topekn ft Santa
Fe will bo consolidated with the Missouri
Pacific. Then Huntlngton will bring In his
systems , and perhaps even tbo Mexican roads
will bo included. The combination will come
under Gould's management and will bo the
most colossal arrangement yet entered Into
by him. Mr , Gould's hand U becoming more
apparent every duy In the hammering which
AU'hUon stock has just received , and it is
now almost a certainty thut the bear raid of
the last few weeks was manipulated from the
Western Union building so as to glvn the
Gould faction a chance to secure at little ex
pense the blocks of Atchison which Gould
Las been after. As Gould stands in danger
of losing contiol of the Missouri Pacific , bo
may not bo able to take thut line into the
consolidation system. "

The French Government nnd the Mag

PAIUS , April 1. [ Now York Herald Cable.
Special to Tun Bus. ] The proceedings
which the government scorns decided to in
stitute against Boulangor , on the charge ot
conspiracy against the safety of the state , is
the burning q'uoatlon of the moment. It was
expected that the chamber would hnvo been
met with a demand for Its authorization of
the contemplated prosecution on Saturday ,
but it scorns certain that on the morning ot
that dav M. Bouchcz refused to put his sig
nature to the demand. In consequence the
government for the moment wns placed In
the presence of nn obstnclo , which , however ,
It U credited with the Intention to
overcome by nsklng M. Bouchoz
to resign. The misunderstanding between
the government nnd the innglstrney
at the outset of this affair nt this moment is
of the gravest character and causes ninny
doubts ns to the wisdom nud utility of prose
cuting Boulnuger. It la Impossible to com
ment logically upon the affair without nn ex
act knowledge of the facts , nnd to say
whether the cabinet or M. Boulungor is in
the right it would bo nccessnry to in alto n
thorough study of the facts In the hands of
the judicial nnd governmental authorities.
The procurer general's resistance may have
a motive in the fcnr of being Impllcuted in a
trial which would expose him to the resent
ment of the Boulnngists , no trilling matter ,
supposing that , paity should nt a lutor period
hold the reins of government , or in legiti
mate scruples , duo to n conviction that Bou
langor Is not culpable before the law. It will
bo known which of those hypothesis is cor
rect when the facts upon which the indict
ment is founded nro known more explicitly.
At present nil that has been made publio is
thut the charges against Boulanger are simi
lar to those on which the leaders of the
Liguo des Putriotes nro arraigned before
the tribunal correctionnal , which hnvo been
brought within the cognizance of the publio
by the Illegal publication of the indictment
in several journals. The ilominaui Impres
sion remaining after the perusal of the docu
ment Is thut the counts of the indictment
are sufficient to sustlfy the prosecution for
illegal nsso elation and oven for participation
in n secret society , but that they are Unnsy
nnd feeble ns grounds for un accusation of
conspiracy against the state. The gravest
charge against the league is thnt. of having
advocated the mobilization of the league
forces , but the object they had in view has
not been ascertained with precision. There is
nothing to prove that Boulanger had nny
personal connection with the Liguo dcs
1'atriotes save the fact that ho gave it n sub
scription of SOO francs. It Is impossible not
to suppose that the government has In its
possession other proofs which it refrains
from making publio at the prcssnt juncture ,
otherwise the prosecution which it contem
plates would bo a grave Imprudence even
from the point of view of the government ,
for if the trial resulted In acquittal , the de
feat would be disastrous for tbo whole re
publican party. If , on the other bund , nn
illegal and unjust condemnation , Inspirc4by
political passion were pronounced , public
opinion would rise in revolt against his judge
and accusers.
