J Picturesque confusion , great loss of time and an utter absence of legislation outside of the appropriation bills , promise to bo the chief characteristics of the closing hours of th- < Inglorious Fifty-second congress. This was shown today when the house spent moro than ono of Its precious hours In considering the customary payment of salary to the widow of a deceased employe. In the senate also the same reluctance to transact busi ness was shown. By two decisive rotes Senator Sherman's efforts to bring about an executive session were defeated. The purpt-io of preventing nn extra session was to kill by indecision the confirmation of Bcnton Hauchett as Judge of the circuit court and the considera tion of the Hawaiian treaty of annexation. Incidentally , also , by fighting against an extra session , the democrats may prevent the confirmation of Lieutenant Da pray , military secretary to Secretary Elkins as a major in the paymaster's corps of the army. The opjwsltion to Lieutenant Dapray Is net personal , bnt Is based uiwn the usual objec tion to the promotion of army officers over the heads of their elders , merely because assignment to duty in Washington has brought them Into close personal contact with the secretary of war. The time of the senate Is now almost ex clusively occupied with the consideration of appropriation bills. Almost the entire dav was spent In passing the naval appropriation "bill which was sent back to the house. It Includes the item for $ M)0,000 ) for the Inter national naval review in Hampton roads. Ill tll < ) II OHM' . The house spent most of the day over a contested election case , the discussion of which , the republican minority recognizing the Inevitable , left almost wholly to the democrats. The chief feature of such debate - bate as there was consisted of u bombastic democratic campaign oration by Mr. O'Fcr- rall , the Virginia democrat who wishes to bo governor of that state , and whoso chief fame rests upon his conduct in loading the fihbustorcrs against Speaker Reed in the last house. A number of other southern democrats made untamed speeches full of such extravagant assertions as that a "ma jority of the negroes of the south are demo cratic voters. " Lute in the afternoon Chairman Springer of the ways and means committee called up and had passed the bill repealing that sec tion of the McKinley act which places a tax of 4 cents n pound on nil Casserito block , pig and bar tin after the 1st of next .luly. The bill , though a democratic revenue measure , will bo heartily supported by Mr. Dalzcll and other republicans , and Senator Allison has gifcn assurance that it shall pass the senate.

Turner claims that he called on President-elect Cleveland at Lakewood - wood the other day and discussed with him the subject of Hawaiian annexation. He quotes Mr. Cleveland ns strongly favoring annexation , and says that his inaugural ad dress will contain unmistakable allusions to the Hawaiian treaty now pending In the sen ate. Mr. Turner adds that in case Hawaii Is annexed ho will bo its first territorial gov ernor. New Long-DUtanco Telephone. Letters patent were today issued to Charles M.Hayncs ofOmaha upon a long-distance elec tric telephone system which will likely mark a new epoch in the telephone business. The . Hayncs inventions are intended to i > crfect I , the weak points in the general principles of long-distanco telephoning , by providing a re peater , similar in idea to the repeaters which are provided for telegraphing. Telephone lines as nt present equipped have transmit ting and receiving instruments at each end of a single circuit through which the electri cal Indulatlous are transmitted uninter rupted from ono instrument to the other. Ordinarily within certain distances the elcctrio pulsations are transmitted unim paired , but there are disturbing ele ments which interfere with the transmission of the electric undulations and finally limit the use of the telephone to short distances. These impairments am overcome by the inventions. Ho 10o Haynes places duplex ro- pcators on the line in such a way as to break it up into a number of smaller independent circuits. Thus a very long circuit may bo reinforced so as to operate as n short circuit. Disturbing Influences are overcome by these inventions and the SOn distance having been an nihilated by them it looks ns though long _ , distance telephoning would become u per fect success. This case was prosecuted by O. W. Sues & Co. , patent attorneys , Omaha. Mlsmllniieou * .

A number of small flags attached to various portions of the mechanism completed the adornment tuid gave the engine a triumphant nppear- nnco. The committee at once boarded the sjHjclal car of the vlco president and when a moment later Mr. Stevenson appeared on New Jersey avcnuo , loaning on the arm of Colonel J. O. Barrett , chairman of the democratic Inau guration committee , n loud cheer was given. Mrs. Stevenson , 'escorted by J. Ij.

Several of the senatqrs have received tele grams from letter carriers and others inter ested , urging thu adoption of the proposed amendment. Senator Palmer of Illinois expresses him self as a supporter of the proposition. It rils the present expectation thai the postoffico bill will come up for consideration in the senate tomorrow , and Senator Palmer said this " evening that ho thought the chances for tho" favorable action on the amendments were reasonably fair. Thcro was a kindly fooling among many senators and members of the house for the men who are engaged in ' distributing the mails and a general expres sion of opinion that they are entitled to the additional pay.

DEMOCRATS SCORE A POINT Motion to Go Into Executive Session Defeated in the Senate. MANY REPUBLICANS REFUSE TO VOTE < > ' Hie Naval Appropriation Hill Sir.

The republi can side of the senate was subjected to great . mortification today in Its defeat by the minority i nority sldo of the chamber on n motion which divided the two parties Into opposite camps. H was on a motion to proceed to ex ecutive business. Mr. Sherman made It , and said that a brief executive session was Imperative , but ho could not elvo the reason. The" motion was defeated. When the re sult was announced and when It was ascer tained that no republican senator had voted in the negative , but that several of them , who were not paired had not voted , there was a private exhibition of disappointment among the republicans who had voted. That feeling found expression In the remark , "Wo might as well give the senate over to the democrats. " A renewal of the attempt a couple of hours afterwards met with a like fate. It was beaten by a majority of two. The Important features of the day's ses sion were the passage of the naval and agri cultural appropriation bill , and of the bill regulating the sale of Intoxicating liquors In the I District of Columbia. House bill extending for one year the time for filing petitions in the court of private land ] claims was retried and passed , also senate Joint resolution authorizing the loan of the portraits of the chief Justices of the ' United J States for exhibition at the World's Columbian exjiosltion. Naval Appropriation Hill. The naval appropriation bill was taken up , the amendments reported from the commit tee on appropriations first being acted upon. The first amendment that elicited discussion was the ono near the end of the bill appro priating WO,000 for the expenses of the international rendezvous and"review. Information as to the necessity of appro priating so largo a sum was asked by Mr. Vest. Ho was told by Mr. Hale , In charge of the bill , that invitations had been extended to foreign nations to send ships to participate- in the review. It would bo an imposing and stately spectacle. A largo item of expense would be the employment of temporary sea men the navy being now "hard up" for men. Another considerable item would bo the matter of salutes. He could not give in detail the puriwses for which the money would bo used. Mr. Cockrell read and commented upon a communication from the New York Chamber of Commerce , signed by Mr. Henry Villnrd ns chairman , asking the aid of congress in the entertainment in New York of foreign visitors to the World's fair : and he asked Mr. Halo whether the 500,000 proposed to be appropriated included anything for that "illustrious . " and magnificent proposition. Mr. Hale replied that he did not knovv ex actly what was wanted by the New York gentlemen who were represented by Mr. VII- ard , but he had the impression that they wanted the government to do some of the S'cw York entertainment of foreign visitors. Opjmnod Vlll r < r * Kfiiue ta. "Why , " said Mr. Cockrell , "tho senator from Maine docs not suspect that these gen tlemen are asking that the people's money , wrung from them by taxation , shall be lilaced in the hands of millionaires of New York to bo expended in the riotous entertain ment of every foreigner who may land on our shores ? " I don't know about that , " said Mr. Haie , "the senator from Missouri can tell mo moro about Mr. Villard than I can tell him. Mr. Villard is a gentleman well known and favorably known throughout the country. Iio stands today as a very near representa tive of the new reform administration. I do not know that ho has asked for anything or that his Now York friends have asked for anything to come out of the taxes paid by the people , but whether ho has or has not ho does not come to us. At all events the government does not , of course , propose to do N .w York's entertainment. Wo cannot keep Mr. Villard from coming here with his memorial. Ho has a right to como and make his suggestions. " Mr. Voorhees , democrat from Indiana He would have a right to pass around the Mr. Halo-Yes. Air. Voorhees And to take up contrlbU' tlons ?

Mr. Hale The senator should seek some other source of authority than me , or than senators on this stdo of the chamber. All these things about reform and about casing the people's burdens , about currency and about bonds , do not seem settled yet. They will bo settled in another place ; and I send the senator to that place. I do not know anything about it. to the Appropriation. After further discussion the appropriation of fSOO.OOO was agreed to with the words "or so much thereof us may bo necessary , " added toit. The whole amendment was then agreed to , as WHS also the next amendment appro priating fG.NX ) for army expenses incident oto the naval review. The amendment for the construction of four light draft protected gun boats ( instead of one , as provided in the bill ) was agreed to without question. This completed action on .tho amendments reported by the committee on appropriations and general amendments were then in order. > Mr. Squire moved to increase the appro priation . for the dry dock at Puget sound from $220.000 to f300.000. Agreed to. The bill was then passed. Mr. Sherman moved to go into executive session.

One of them showed his annoyance by remarking at the clerk's desk that "Wo may us well turn the senate , over to the democrats at onco. " The senate then resumed consideration ol "unfinished business , " being the house bll regulating the sale of Intoxicating liquors litho the District of Columbia. It was passed yeas , 41 ; nays , 15. Defeated for the Second rime. A motion was then made to go Into cxccu live session.

At 1 o'clock this morning a wall of a building In Halstcad street , whlcn was lately burned , was blown down and crashed through a two-story brick building adjoining , occupied by the families of John Smith , a saloonkeeper , and James Kunz , a Jeweler.

The building which collapsed was owned by John York , a large dealer In dry goods , and was destroyed by fire a few weeks ago. It was five stories high , nearly 150 foot deep and had a heavy front of white stone. York began to rebuild immediately after the fire , and as not all of the walls were down he had built the new wall on the top of the remain ing old one. It Is supposed that the greca wall was not sufficiently braced , nltnough York said that both the contractor and him- self believed it to be entirely secure. It Wnn Blowing u Culo. The weather during the early part of the evening was calm' , with a little rain falling but about 11 p. m. the wind began to rise and by midnight it had increased to a gale. The high walls of the York building began to shako in the wind. A policeman who passed in front of it shortly before it fell In formed the Canal Port station that ho thought it would bear watching. Ho was told < to look lit it closely , uud if in hi ? mind there was any danger to warn the occupants of the neighboring buildings to move out. Ho turned buck to the building , and when within 200 feet of it thcro was a deafening roar , a large white dust cloud , a succession of shrieks from the building occupied by the Smith and Kunz families , and it was over. Word was nt once sent to the Canal Port station and the patrol wagon and the wagons from the Maxwell street and Thirty-fifth street stations were at once sent to the rescue. I'lre In the ICulns. Before the aid from Canal Port avenue station could arrive the ruins of the demol ished building caught lire from the stoves and began to blaze furiously. The efforts of the fire department , which had also re sponded to the alarm , were enough to extin guish the blaze without much difficulty , and the work of rescue was begun. The firemen , under the direction of Chief Swencke , kept I > ouring a steady stream of water uiwn the ruins , and the police began hastily to dig into the debris.
