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.

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.

Word has been received iioro from Lakewood -
wood that Mr. Cleveland is determined to
llvo up In at least one res } > cct to Home of the
high sounding sentiments regarding a "busi
ness administration" that have been credited
to him. It has been learned here that In no
case will a republican officeholder be re
moved before the expiration of his term on
purely political grounds. There will bo no
removals except for cause. An' officeholder
whoso record has shown him to ba notori
ously Incompetent or derelict will of course
bo removed as soon as Mr. Cleveland can find

St. Louis , who was President Grant's min

good and substantial reasons , become an ar

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

Is annexed ho will bo its first territorial gov

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.

WASIIIXOTON , D. C. Feb. 23. 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

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 Yes.
Mr. Voorhccs Or resort to any other
form of mendicancy ?
Mr. Hale Yes.
Mr. Daniel , democrat from Virginia-
Would they bo willing to accept silver as a
contribution ?
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

Tno result seemed to surprise the republl -

his annoyance by remarking at the clerk's

Cnicioo , III. Feb. 2S. 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. Seven people were killed ,
one was fatally hurt nnd two moro were
dangerously injured. The names of the dead

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. The Kuuz family occupied
the upper portion of the building and the
first body found was that of Mrs. Kunz ,
whoso head had been crushed by a falling
oeiim. Close beside her lay the body of her
husband , his wliito night clothes dyed red
with the llfeblood that had flowed from a
dozen fearful cuts in his head and body. The
body of Smith , which was at first thought to
