[ Now York Ilornld Cable Special to TUB Ibi-Henry : Morton Stanley nnil Dorothy Tcnnnnt were married nt Westminster abbey today In presence of a company representative of nil that is most distinguished In English society. Not of ton has Westminster abbey been inoro densely thronged , mid not often huvo approaches to It been so packed with people ns 'was tbo cnso today. The admission to the abbey was by ticket , yet In splto of the care that was taken to limit the number of guests to less than the capacity of tha choir stalls , ( hero were many ticket holders who were glad tollnUovon standing room long before the tlmo set for the wedding had arrived , The secno in the vicinity of the abbey wns of n character entirely milUiblo to the occasion. Hard-hearted as the rain had been for weeks , It had too line a nemo of propriety to full this afternoon , It fell on n few who formed the advance guards nnd spectators who secured advantageous po sitions lu Parliament square as c.irly ua 10 o'clock In the morning , hut upon the thou sands who soon followed the early birds It did not fall , nnd the vast assemblage wcro permitted to devote all their time , energy nnd ingenuity to watching these who wcro doubt less looked upon among the. favored oncsof earthbecause , they possessed the open Bcsamoto AVestmlnstcr nbboy on the day when It was accessible to the public. It was slow work reaching the abbey , for the crowd win so dense that only a single line of carriages could malto hcadwny , nnd then only foot by foot , even with the nldof the police , for a time. The great part of the crowd wasted Its ener gies , but finally discovered guests wcro to enter the abbey , not nt the main entrance , but by way of the Dean's yard. For almost two hours n steady stream of vehicles nearly nil them admirably appointed , with coach men and footmen wearing iimncnso wedding favors poured into the dean's yard. They guests then made their way through clusters of the old monas tery. The crowd wns very keen for a glimpse of Stanley or Miss Tcn- nant. The former did not escape unnoticed , but Miss Tcnnunt escaped the cheers until she wus no longer Miss Tcnnant. Inside the nbboy , long before 2 o'clock , thcro was n dis tinguished company. The fair sex was largely In the ascendant , therefore the scene was full of color and animation. England's pardons must have bc.cn robbed to provide the bouquets that met the eye at every turn. Through Iho hum of eager , though low- toned conversation , till eyes wcro turned to the point ut which It was expected Stanley would appear. Many a glance lingered over the square of gold cloth and a magnificent floral tribute sent by Stanley that marked the grave of Doctor Livingstone. Miss Ten- limit came early. She carried an Immense bouquet and sat lu oneof the scuts next to the entrance of the chancel. In the next scat was Baroness Burdctte Coutts and Sir William Mackinnon. Bu-r ilettto Coutts was satisfied to walk about and chut with friends. "Wltn Miss Tennnnt were Mr. and Airs. Uruco of Edinburgh. Mrs. llrucowas the favorite daughter of Dr. Llv- lugstono. Within u few seats of thorn sat the widow of Dr. Livingstone's son , who died only recently. Near their motiicr sat Mrs. Tciinant'.s ' two daughters and Mr. and Mrs. M. French Sheldon , and not far from them sat Mr. nud Mrs. ( ihulstoue. It would take a page to enumer ate the names of all those In the Abbey. The American minister to London and the sccre- vtary of the legation wcro among the audience. As Stanley entered the nbboy bridal muslo from Lohengrin was played. Stnnloy was conducted to a srait under the lantern by his future brother-in-law. The great explorer was accompanied by M. DoCointo Do Aroche , who had been sent to represent the King of Belgium , Mr. Jcppson , Captain Nelson , Lieutenant Stairs , Mr. Bouncy and Hy , his black man , who wore Ids tot. Stan- Icy looked very worn and weak. Ho walked ns if with dlfllculty nnd used n cane. Ho bowed In response to thosalututloii of several friends. It hud been feared Friday night that his physical condition would not permit him to leave his rooms. Ho said there should bo no postponement of the wedding If he could avoid it , and ho man aged It , though only after a severe struggle. Ho arrived ton minutes hoforo 8 o'clock , nnd after his arrival the minutes passed so slowly Unit the Impression becninoqulto general Unit Miss Tcnmmt would be lato. But Miss Tennnnt was not late , In fact , stio arrived two minutes before the hour set for the wedding. She entered by the west door , which only opened for the entrance and exit cf royuHy nnd brides , Miss Tennnnt was ac companied by her brother , Charles C. Ten- naiit , who gave her away , und followed by her twobridosnuildsMlss Sylvia Alyors.hor . niece , and Miss Brcnda'Flnloy , Both wcro mites nnd were dressed In white satin slips , with whlto crepe llsso ovcrsktrts , They were wreaths and carried bouquets of whlto " -cieimitls. Tl i bride's train was berne by two pages. The brldo walked to her place beneath the tower with quick steps and erect carriage. She looked stately In n white silk dress such as was worn in days ot Tudors. The seams were sown with pearls und the Biitln front was embroidered with pearls. Her high embroidered collar f was cut low in front. She were a inagnlll- 4 - . cent diamond necklace , the gift of Sir Wll- Ham McKlnnon , und from this hung n minia ture of the Queen bet lu brilliants , the gilt of her majesty. Sprays of omniro blossoms ornamented the left side ot IUT dress. As Miss Tcnnunt approached Mr , Stanley rose nnd walked toward her , turning as she arrived within n few fcotof the chancel stops , where the oflldutlng clergy wcro standing. Stanley stood with bowed head , but Miss Tcimant preserved nn erect attltudo and looked iilmost a head taller than thu groom. Ho kept his eyes cither on the officiating clergyman or on the floor , nnd his responses were made la a very low tone. The bride's eyes wore some times on the clergymau , sometimes on her mother nnd sometimes on Stanley , Her voice was strong and clear as she made the necessary responses. At .ho close of the marriage service and before the address was made by the roaster ot Trinity the choir an < an anthem. The address having been delivered , the choir eniig n marriage liyiiin. The ilnal blessing was then given nnd Mr , nnd Mrs , Stanley procccdeii to the Jerusalem chamber and signed the marriage contract. Among other dignitaries were the bishop of Klpon , denn of Westminster , Mr. and Mrs , Gladstone , Sir Lclgliton , Baroness and Mr. Burdettc-Coulta , the duke of Abcr- corn , Sir W. Mackinnon , F. Sheldon , Charles CoomboTennnnt , J. W Myers , Lord Justice Howen , A. C. Lynll , W. II. Lccky , F. W. Grant nnd A. Urnco. The marriage ceremony occupied twenty- five minutes , yet almost double that length of tlmo was spent by Mr. and Mrs. Stanley In reaching Richmond Terrace , though only half a mile nway. An Immense crowd awaited the nppcurnnco of the bride and groom , and their progress , If slow , was rather inspiring , for the cheering was an hearty as continuous. At Hlchtnond Terrace , the old homo of the bride , Mrs. Tcn nant gave a reception and garden party. To reach Richmond Terrace was Just as dlfllcult as It hnd been to got Into nnd out of West minster abbey , nnd the most strenuous efforts of u largo body of police were needed to keep the narrow path open. The house and grounds wcro crowded at1 o'clock. When Stanley first saw the wedding pres ents ho walked about the room slowly , lean ing heavily on a cnno ; yet tired ana weak as ho evidently was , ho could not avoid showing strong Interest In the magnificent mementoes tnnt imu uccn invisncu upon mm rum ins bride. How much space all the presents received by Mr. and Mrs. Stan ley would occupy It Is dlfllcult to say , but some of them filled two rooms of Mrs. Tcnnant's residence. A wonderful array these made , and marvel lous as It may seem , nearly all If not all of them were useful as well as ornamental , and there were so few duplicates that U seemed us if everybody must have known the choice of everybody else. These presents came from almost every quarter of the globe. Ono present Indicated the discoveries of the great explorer in the dark continent , nnd It also Indicated Mr , Stanley's latest and most fortunate discovery No. 2 Itlulunond Terrace , the homo of his bride. The temporary tables which had been erected groaned bcne.ith the weight of every imaginable article that cunning artificers can contrive. The oddest present Is a bottle of water from Lake Nyanza , carefully packed up in a tin case. The most valuable Is a inlnaturo of the queen , which is set In diamonds. The prince , of Wnles sent an inkstand , and the duke of Fife a diamond cross. At 4 ; ! ! 0 Mr. and Mrs. Stanley said good-bye to Klchard Terraco. Before leaving the house Mrs. Stanley spoke into the handsome phonograph graph presented to her by Colonel Gournud She said : "Tho future lies before me , a great , unexplored country. But with Stanley near mo I shall go forward , and not bo afraid. " The slippjr , without which no wedding would bo complete , was hurled after Mr. and Mrs. Stanlejfcas they wcro driven from the house. It fell upon one of the horses nnd hastened its pace. The honeymoon Is to last for two weeks , und will bo spent at Lady Louisa Ashburton's place in Hampshire. During the honeymoon Mr. Stanley docs not intend to look at a letter or newspaper. At least this is the determination ho expressed a few days ago. FJtJMCU l'OX.ITIC'8. llnw Silk'fllnterinls Shell Bo 1'laecd on the Free Ijlsf. PARIS , July 12. [ Special Cablegram to Tun Bii.l : The most Important political action during the week was the decision of the superior council of commerce , that in the foi thcouilng tot Iff bill raw silk materials shnll bo placed on the free list. The Temps , which usually speaks the government's minden on such occasions , says that it considers this the most Important political notion of the year , and declares that It assures the con tinued prosperity of Lyons over her Italian and other rivals. Humors are still current that some of the members of the chamber of deputies , and perhaps some of the ministers also , desire to retaliate against the United States , In case of the passage of the McKinley bill , changing the French tariff so ns to favor Russian pe troleum. It is doubtful whether tlio govern ment will sanction such an effort. The most marked sign of the reaction against the violent prejudice which drove M. Julius Ferry from active politics has been shown In the department of Vosges where the man who defeated M. Ferry in the elections for members of the chamber of dep uties by arousing the old prejudice against him relative to tho'IV nquln affair was him self defeated by a personal friend of M. Ferry. It is believed that this will pave the way for M. Ferry's ' early return to active politics. Ho was' so unpopular in 1SS' > that his bust at the Paris exposition was removed , owing to the agita tion against him , , and the threats that It would bo mutilated In spite of the guard. The memoirs of Prince Talleyrand have been edited and arranged for the press lu the French languargo. A small but active party in the chamber of deputies Is still de sirous of using the establishment of an English protectorate over Zanzibar , as provided for by the Anglo-Gorman agree ment , as the means to oust iM. Klbot. minis ter of foreign affairs , from ofllce. The ex treme radicals remember M , Hibot's former imperialist sympathies nnd they do not con sider him to he a sufllclently pronounced re publican to hold such un ofllco as that of for eign minister , ' 0.110 cnamuer , However , lias repeatedly shown Itself to bo overwhelm ingly In tnvorof M.

PASO , Tex. , July 12. The following particulars In regard to the battle between the rival mayors of Yslcta and their adher ents have been received hero : The sheriff from El Paso reached Ysleta at 3 o'clock this morning nnd succeeded In stopping the battle by persuading the forces of Mayor Aldoretto to withdraw. The party headed by Gnal , who resisted arrest , Is In his house , which the sherlit has surrounded. It Is believed that there were but three men killed Instead of six , as at first reported. It Is learned that the trouble originated la this way : lieiiingo Aldoretto , as mayor of Ysletn , has charge of the ncqula and hud a couple of men cleaning it out when Ganlsent n posse of armed men to drive Aldcretto's men from their work. Gaal claimed that ho wns mayor nnd put his men to work and refused to dis continue when ordered by Aldorotto to do BO. The mavnr then secured a warrant for the ar rest of liaal , to put him under u pcaco bond and deter him from further Interference with the Acequla. Uaul summoned his armed fol lowers uround him nnd refused to bo ar rested and the fight followed. The light at Yslcta terminated In a peace ful surrender at daylight to the sheriff's posse. Goal , who resisted arrest , cannot bo found. Sixteen men were arrested and brought hero to the county lull. It turns out that only ono man was hilled , a Mexican of Mayor Alderetto's POSKO. Another has a slight wound lu the head. No further trouble is anticipated. The AVeuthur Forccnnt. For Omaha and vicinity Fair weather ; stationary temperature.

THE PROSPECTS OF PEACE IN EUROPE , Olllclnl Confluence ICcinnlns Stroiiii In Spile or IIH Doubtful Character Iho Czar'H Advisors In- Hl.st on War. [ Cop/rfu/i | / ( IXXt by tlieXcio 1'wrfctn \ > clatc < l Prrs.1 Beaux , July 1'J ' , Emperor "William , on arriving at Fide , Thursday , sent a dispatch to Chancellor Caprlvl announcing his Inten tion to shorten his voyage and return to Kiel JulySl. The gravity of the situation In trio Balkans , the Increased prospect of trouhlo with Franco and the English agreement makes necessary the emperor's ' presence mid keeps both the chancellor and Minister Miguel from taking n holiday. Although the prospects of permanent pence In Europe begin to appear doubtful , ofllcial confidence remains strong. Even the proba ble abdication of Prince Ferdinand with n , subsequent revolution In Bulgaria will not bo allowed to Involve an Immediate European war. The maintenance of peace , according to an official view , Is certain until after the conference between Emperor "William and the czar , when the resources of diplomacy will bo exhausted In a final effort to harmonlzo Austrian nnd Russian relations In the Balkan peninsular. The Husflan newspapers the Novoo Vromyn , the NovostI and Evlodomoatl concur In the hopeful view that Emperor William , freed from the tutelage of Prince BIsmarcK , will succeed hi his efforts to effect nn nmlcablo arrangement with the Cznr. Onlclnl opinion here , based eon the known fact that Emperor William has definite proposals to lay before the czar , Is also hopoful. Tlio czar has as yet given no sign of how ho will receive them. The Berliner Tngoblatt has a telegram from Uomo which purports to give informa tion drawn from Prime Minister Crispl. In this it assorted that the czar's advisers , con sidering the time opportune , Insist upon war. The chiefs of the dreibund , the telegram adds , will mnko united efforts to maintain peace. M. Co Gecrs , the Russian minister of for eign affairs , Is now making a tour of Finland. IIo will return to St. Petersburg to assist in the imperial Interviews. Count Schouvalofl , the Russian ammbas- sador to Germany , will leave hero for St. Petersburg at the end of the month for the same purpose. 'Iho exact date of these mo mentous Interviews has not yet been fixed , but they will probably begin on August 17. A fresh dlfllculty hns arisen in Franco over the fifth article of the convention , which af firms the reciprocal reglmo of Germany and England within the territories between the Doiuio river and Lake Tchad. The article did not appear in the llrst published draft of the convention and slnco the olllclal text has been Issued the French government has discovered that the article Is an Inter ference with the French claim to the upper Niger , besides leading to the future exten sion of thoAiiglo-German spheres of Influence from the Niger to the Nile. If M. Ulbot con tinues to make the recognition of the French claims In the Nigur district the object of the withdrawal of his opposition to the Zanzibar protectorate au amicable settlement Is im probable. Phelps , American minister , has received from Ilnrburg a copy of the petition whbh has been sent to Chancellor von Caprivl nnd which bears the signatures of various steam ship companies and leading firms nnd corpo rations. The petitioners ask for the rescind ing of the prohibition against American pork. They urge that Germany cannot pro duce enough pork to satisfy her own wants. The price of pork has risen so enormously that poor people cannot buy it. The whole sale price of German salted bacon Is 130 marks per 100 kilograms , while Ameri can bacon can pay n duty and bo sold at 85 marks. Pork Imported from neighboring states , although bringing high prices , Is not as good as the American article. When pro hibition was enacted there was no ofllcial ex amination of pod : In Amorlca , while the United States government is now ready to make whatever Inspection Germany may ask. When American pork was allowed to enter the coun try no cases of illness were ever adduced to its use. If the American Inspec tion should bo insufficient there could bo ono made In Germany ns well. Ofllcial feeling against Prince Bismarck has been heightened since the report of the Interview appeared In the Frankfort Journal. Even his friends admit that ho has been Indiscreet In the revelation of knowledge obtained by him while in ofllco. Ills statements that the em peror's labor programme as originally sketched wns much more extravagant than as issued , and that his majesty supposed the programmo would tell that elections have In censed Chancellor von Caprlvl and other ministers , and It is considered that certain of the statements will lead to energetic remon strances on Iho return of Emperor William. The Hamburger Nuchrlctcn tonight In an article inspired by Prince Bismarck disputes the necessity for an immediate decision by the reichbtag or the landtag regarding the future position of Heligoland and says that the Island , whlla at present a British colony , will bo hailed as such to Germany and will thus fall within the category of German colonies and bo placed under the Imperial administration without the neces sity of making It a portion of the empire. The constitutional requirements , the paper says , would bofulfllled If the British governor bo replaced by a German and the affairs of the Island bo administered by the colonial de partment. The article alms to embarrass the government In Its project of making the Island nn out-work of the ompiro. It Is assured that the English parliament will assent to the cession of the Island. Chancellor - cellor von Cnprlvl has arranged with Lord Salisbury to have the German Hug hoisted on the Island In the presence of a licet commanded by the duke of Edinburgh and n squadron escorting Emperor William , This ceremony will take place some tlmo la September. Minister Bocttl'dicr has al ready been instructed to go to Heligoland In August to arrange for the in stallation of the Gorman administration , of which Councillor Wemuth has been ap pointed provisional chief. These arrange ments , If carried Into effect , will malto Hel igoland n part of the empire before the rolchs- tag resumes its sittings. Tim refusal of the ox-clmnccllor to accept the conditions offered him for a scat In the rclchstag Is now known to be duo to his desire to obtain a seat In the bumlcsruth as a representative ot a minor state with a f rco hand to operate In the rclchstag' The attack of asthma from \vhlch Baron Wlssmnnn Is suffering Is assuming a more aggravated form.

It may bo more dangerous' to us as u German territory than In the hniiila of a neutral state. That thcro existed secret clauses to the treaty could only bo believed by the very In nocent. Miguel had nothing to do with the emperor's rescripts on the labor question. IIo Is too clever a politician to have done so on the eve of an election. Douglas Hlntzpotcr nnd others have been respon sible for that ho himself would have advocated a morel , stringent socialist law.11 i The prince said ho might possibly write his memoirs , but the archives wcro not now so easy of access as formerly to him.

Many of those very curious and interesting American girls , duly provided with a matron , but unencumbered by 'companions of scxe- fort , started yesterday nt 3 o'clock In a little launch from IIo do Jauzo , at Putcnx , on a voyage of discovery to H'ouon. As thcro nro no longer any passenger steamers on the Seine between Paris and the ancient capital of Normandle , this trip attempted by our fair compatriots Is. altogether out of the beaten tracks of travel. One of the young ladles 'has a literary turn of mind , another has a decided talent for sketching , a third plays the mandolin nnd a fourth hns n fascinating soprano voice. Weather permitting , they should have a de lightful time on the Seine , which after all is prettier than the Hhlnei , and Is ono of the most picturesque rivers in Europo.

In the house today Mr. Dlngley of Mnlno presented n memorial eftho stuto coiifcrenco of Congregatlonul churches of Malno for tlio passage ot the original package bill. KcfciTcd. Mr. Conger of Iowa then culled up the conference report on the silver bill. He said the bill presented In the report was in tlio .nutin-eofa compromise. It was not just such'ujilll as ho thought cqngrcsi ought to pass. It was not Just sucrni bill , perhaps , as any member of tbo house would like to have passed If ho were preparing a measure to state his convictions , but It was n bill that would vswor the demands of the country , that would answer the demands of the agriculturists , laborers and business men of tlio country. The bill would give tbo country at the pres ent prlco of sliver nn increase of $57,760,000 a year. If silver went up to a parity with gold It would glvo an Increase of 70,000,000. The lust section of the bill unlocked $70,003OJO , now tied up for the redemption of bank notes , making the totul Increase of circulation In the next twelve months 811.000,000. Mr. Williams of Illinois Inquired whether tlio gentleman in his calculations did not as sume that silver would roach a parity with gold.Mr. Mr. Conger replied that whether It did or not the Increase would bo nearly that amount. At nny rate It would fall short of that only about $1:1,000,000. : Wns the gentleman from Missouri ( Blund ) willing to stand hero and vote airnlnst a measure which would glvo the suTcring people of the west un additional cir culation of this largo amount ! IIo wanted the democratic puny to toll the country whether It was willing to refuse to support a bill that would give the people this largo amount of relief. This wns a republican measure and every financial measure of 1m- portnnco that had been successful In tills country , with ono solitary exception , had been a republican measure. [ Republican applause. ! The pending measure had been agreed upon by republicans only ; it bad been passed In the senate by republican votes only ; it would then go where it would bo signed by a republican president , and thence it would go to the country that would give such a republican endorsement that every gentleman on the other side would not bo hero to vote in the next congress. The work of the house bus been moving the country rapidly towards the establishment of u parity between silver and gold. When congress met silver was ft'l cents an ounce. Yesterday it sold at S1.07,1 * ; . Slnco It had been announced that the conference had agreed upon a bill silver lias gene up more than a cents an ounce. [ Hepublican applause ] , Mr , Cutclicoti ot Michigan regarded the conference bill ns n vast Improvement over the monstrosity sent here by the senate , which proposed to make United States minus the dumping ground for all the silver of thu world for the bcnollt of speculation. It wns also an Improvement over tbo bill ns orig inally passed by the house. It would glvo the country additional currency of mctulond copper for the use of business , Air. Sherman of Oregon said ho favored the bill , although it did not contain tbc fullest recognition of the equality of gold and silver us money metals. It wns n concession on both sides of the question. It was a vic tory for the popular demand and it was along stop toward free coinage. Ho had no doubt that after the full elections there would bo u strong representation hero on n line of f roe coinage. IIo congratulated the people ho represented that such an advance has boon made in establishing an equality between the two grunt money metals of the world. Bland of Missouri concurred with the gentleman in hoping that the next house would bo a free coinage bouse , but that the house would bo composed of those who advocated free colnaso and stood by their colors. It would not bo composed of the republican party , which by gag rule had voted down and and stilled free coinage. If free coinage came at all it would come from that party which hnd stood firm to the Hug of free coinage and which hnd not surrendered its principal at the beck of Wall street. Ho denied that the bill was the result of a free and fidr confer ence. It wus the result of secret meetings of republican conferees. He , as a conferee , hud known nothing of the measure until It was framed nnd the report was to bo signed. The democratic members had been Ignored in the preparation of the bill , The bill was ono which practically demonetized sil ver. It surrendered every principle of bimetallism : it surrendered free coinage ; it made a combination with the bullion speculators of Wall street. In the interest of Wall street it departed from a legal ratio and changed Unit ratio from 10 to I to 30 to 1. The change of ratio wns to pile up so much capital In the treasury at the expense of tlio people and in the Interest of Wall street and the bullion owners , and ho denounced It ns n finud and a cheat on the people , who had demanded n ratio of 1(1 to 1. The bill made silver simply a commodity to bo measured by gold , upon which money shall bo issued at Its gold value. It was neither a silver bill nor n greenback mil , but simply a political device concocted to tide over an cmcrgcncv. Ho denounced it as a fraud and would denounce nny measure that did not provide for free colnngo. Mr. Morrow of California expressed his ap proval of the conference report und proceeded to argue that the depression in the price of silver In recent years had resulted from arti ficial manipulation. Mr. Cannon of Illinois favored the report and hoped un international agreement could bo reached that would establish n llxcd ratio between silver and gold , In the course of the debate Mr. Townsend of Colorado said lie and some other republi cans had voted for free coinage and if the gentlemen on the other side hnd so voted n free coinage bill would have passed the house. Tiien they had recognized that the only way to got silver legislation at this session was to go back to the republican party , where they bad always belonged , and get It from that party. | The conference report was finally agreed to by a strict party vote yeas , 133 ; nays , 00 as follows : Yeas Adams , Allen of Michigan , Ander son of Kansas , 'Atkinson of Pennsylvania , Atkinson of West Virginia , Baker , Hunks , Bartine , Bnyne , Beckwlth , Bclknan , Her- Ken , Bliss , Bowden , Drawer , llroslus , Brewer , Buchanan of New Jersey , Burton , Caldwell , Cannon , Caster , Cnswell , Cheadlo , Cogswell , Coleman , Comstock , Conger , Cou ncil.

In the seimto today a remonstrance of the board ot trade of Jack son , Tenn. , against the federal election bill was presented by Mr. Harris , The senate resumed consideration of the two shipping bills and was ad'lressod ' by Mr. Vest. Ho said ho would like the senator from Maine. ( Fryo ) to explain how It was that there was a tlmo when the United States , without n dollar of subsidy , and when the country was undeveloped and Just emerged from a colonial condition , had grupplu.l with Great Britain and came near wresting from her control the ocean carrying trade. Ho quoted from a speech of Daniel Webster to the effect that the success of tbo American merchant iiuiilno hud come not from protection or bounty , but from skill , perseverance and economy. IIo showed how former subsidies had ended In fiilluro und .scandal and summed up the whole question by rending an extract from a speech of IJcprcscutnUvo Cannon , showing the expenditure of over $31,000,000 in sub sidies between 1SU3 nnd 187 $ , and asserting that $7.000,000 would buv nil the American steamships then afloat. IIo alluded to nn in terpolation in the British parliament ycster. day us to the McKlnley bill and said tliut as soon as Knghind Annul she could dispense with American produce she would do so , and yet , ho suys , nil that Amer ican statesmanship alined at was to mil up 10 dutlo ? against Great Britain. He do- In red that subsidies would never bring u ollar of foreign commerce to this country , 'hey would enrich the men who get the con- ructs and there would bo a repetition of the lie sumo old scaiidal that bad attended the xpendlturo of the $21,000,000 In subsidies , au xpcndltnrp which hud left the country today vllh its shipping absolutely dead. Mr. Stewart gave It as bis opinion that the iluns proposed In the pending bills was the inly mode of reviving the ocean carrying niilo of tbo United States and that free hips would simply destroy American ship HilldiiiK yards without affording any relief. Mr. George opposed the bills. Mr. Harris offered an amendment provid- ng that the total sum paid to any vessel ailing between any American port and for- Ign ports shall In no case exceed the sum mid vessels for the sumo class and touuaso iclwcen such foreign ports and the nearest Vinericiin port thereto.

The scene at the river vhero the explosion took place last night is even more desolate than when covered by the Mil of night's ' darkness. Captain Phelps of ho steamer said It would bo late in the after noon before a further search In .ho hold for the bodies could bo made. IIo said pumps hnd been bent for and ns soon as any arrived the water would bo pumped out and a search commenced. The list of missing Is unccr- .aln.

Two men were Injured by tonight's explo sion , linns C'hristlanson and Thomas John son , members of the wrecking crow , lloth were taken out alive , but seriously burned and bruised.

Up to nightfall thirteen burned and mangled corpses hnd been taken from the fatal hold , and onoof the wounded in tbo county hospital had died. Conservative estimates put the probable fatalities at a total of at lensttwenty. What caused the explosion was Into tonight still a disputed question. Ono theory was that n new supply of explosive vapor hud gathered in the hold. Captain 1'helps expressed - pressed the opinion , however , that something else besides oil or Its gases wus In the hold , but what ho would not venture to say. The coroner's Jury has" adjourned until next week.
