WASHINGTON , Feb. 15. The coup ar
ranged by the house leaders for the pas'ige
of the sundry civil apj roprlatlon bill under
suspension of the rules was a complete suc
cess , and this bill carrying $50tU.7I3 $ , waa
ji.iascd without opposition or amendment , just
a i It came from the committee. The main
opposition was Olrcctel against the rlvor
and harbor Items In th. ) bill.
The house mtulo the best ot the fact thai

bills wore passed of more or leas important.1 ,

This was suspension day , nnd Mr. Roovcs
republl-an of llllrols , moved the pasfUge
under tlio suspension of the rules of a sub
stitute for the benato bill appropriating
$2.10,000 for closing the crevasse In the Mis
sissippi levee at Paso TOutie , La , The nub-
ntltuto approprlotetl the same sum , to be
deducted fiom the sum due under the HniU
contract In case the courts should decide he
nns liable under his contiact with the gov
ernment. H was passed.
Then cnme the coup which had been ar
ranged by the house loaders. Mr. Cannon ,
the chairman of the appropriations com
mittee , moved to suspend the rules ami pass
the sundry civil bill. General debate on
this measure , carrying slightly In excess of
$50,000.000. closed on Saturday , and to save
tlmo nnd avoid risk of amendment this plan
of passing the bill without debute under tlio
five-minute rule was adopted. The bill con-
slats of 111 page * . , and ns the clerk beg-in to
read it , W. A. Stone , republican of Penn
sylvania , asked that the reading be dispensed
with Mr. Sajers. demociat of Texas , cs-
Bayed to niBkc an oxplinatlon of why ho did
not think It was necessary to pursue this
/ \ unusual course , but .Mr. Cannon prote.sted'
against debate , whereupon Mr. Turner , clem-
oorat of Georgia , objected to dispensing with
the formal reading ot the bill anil the reading
pioccedod.
The reading of the bill was completed at
1:30 : p. m. and under the rules twenty
minutes on a sldo were allowed for debate.
Mr. Sayers ot Texas , the leader of the
minority ot the appropriations committee ,
took the floor and briefly stated hla reasons
tv by the bill should not be passed under
suspension of the rules. Ho agreed that
the contents of the bill were not Improper
and said with the exception ot the river and
diailmr Items the bill In his opinion could
tie scrutinized without finding anything
which would meet with legitimate objection.
Mr. Pearson , republican of North Carolina ,
attacked the bill on the ground that the
river and harbor Items contained therein
could not stand on their own .footing and
wore Included In this bill with Indispensa
ble appropriations In order that they might
escape the executive "toto. IJofore the house
divided Mr. Pearson appealed to the other
sldo to glvo him a recotd-maklng vote , but
only got thlrty-threo members to second hh
demand and the speaker declared the bill
passed under suspension of the rules.
At I ! p. m , the house took a recess until
B o'clock ; the evening session to be devoted

WASHINGTON. Fob. ID , The senate was
In executive session most of today , but the
oirn ; tcshlon afforded mifllclcnt tlmo for a
sharp contrc-vcrsy over proceeding with Mr
Morgan's resolution to abrogate the Clajton-
llulvver treaty. Mr. Sherman Interposed nu
merous points of order against Mr. Morgan ,
und when the chair sustained them , the
Alabama senator referied to his being "vic
timized" by the picaldlng officer and Mr
Sherman. Mr. Stevenson letortcd sharply
that there Was no disposition to "victimize"
the Alabama senator. On a vote , Mr. Mor
gan carried his point and the Clayton-Uul-
IV or resolution was taken up , As It Involved
questions of executive business , the senate
wont Into executive session. At t o'clock
the open session was icsumed and some
progress was made on the bankruptcy bill.
When Mr. Morgan called up his resolution
for the abrogation of the Clayton-llulwer
treaty , the senator started to proceed with
a speech. Thcro were objections. Mr. Cul-
lom , republican ot Illinois , wanted to go on
with an appropriation bill. Mr. Chandler
desired to speak on his resolution as to
bimetallism. Theio was sharp sparring for
precedence until Mr. Sherman , republican of
Ohio , Interposed a point of order against
Sir. Morgan , on the ground that his resolu
tion being of a Joint character could not bo
considered In the morning hour , Thla pre
cipitated an unexpected storm , The presid
ing olliccr , Mr. Stevenson , being In the chair ,
referred to the rules and promptly bustalued
Mr. Sherman's point ot older ,
"I appeal from the decision of the chair , "
A woman takes

She achieves

thing half $ o Rood as this. U is something
to which a woman may well devote herself ,
and may well make every preparation to
preform successfully. It Is an exploded the
ory that baby must come with Ru-at piln and
suffering. A woman vv ho will properly pre
pare herself for the time of parturition by
using Ur. Tierce's ' Favorite Prescription
during the entire period of getttation will
find all of the danger and much of the suf

tier baby will be healthy , and that she her

the world th it vv ill do this thing , and it will

Mnl Mr , Morgan , calmly , " nd will tlcbato

As Mr. Morgan was about to proceed , Mr.
Shcnnm again Interposed , sa > lng that an
appeal from the decision of the chair was
not debatable The presiding officer , consult
ing the rules , again sustained Mr. Sherman ,
staling that an appeal was not debatable.
"I" think It Is debatable , " declared Mr.
Morgan , with a perceptible tremor In hla
voice , as Kf still held the floor.
Mr. Quay endeavored to act as peacemaker ,
and appealed to the senate to grant unanim
ous consent to Mr. Morgan to proceed.
"I must object to that , " said Mr. Sherman ,
decisively
Mr. Morgan still held the floor. "I am
not willing to stand here , " said he , "and
be victimized by the chair and by the sen
ator from Ohio. "
Mr. Stcvcr.fon rose from hlo chair and In
sharp tonei responded : "The chair has no
disposition to victimize the senator from
Alabama. Thu chair U enforcing the rules
as he finds them. " The vice president em
phasized the word "victimize. "
Finally Mr. .Morgan withdrew hla appeal and
a vote was taken on Mr. Morgan's motion to
proceed ulth the Cluyton-Hulwcr resolution ,
unexpectedly , Mr. Morgan carried hla poUit
ugalnet the opposition , which was under
stood to be favorable to going Into executive
session on the arbitration treaty. The vote
was very close , being 32 yeas to 31 najs.
On the announcement ot the vote , Mr.
Morgun aioso smiling and triumphant and
was about to begin , when Mr. Ho-ir , re
publican of Massachupctts , Interrupted with
the point that this was a matter to properly
come before un cxt-uitlvo session. Under
the rules , suggcstloni , of this character com
pelled the senate to go Into executive cession
and at 12 30 the gallery was cleared and the
doom closed. The executive session lasted
until 4 o'clock , when the doors were opened
and the legislative work resumed
The bankruptcy bill , which Is the un
finished business ot the senate , was taken up
und the iicas.uro ! read at length. Mr. Nel
son , republican of Minnesota , offered an
amendment for the entire Eenatc amendment
and then Jho bill vveVit over.
A cnnfcicncc report on the bill providing
the tlmjs foi holding the terms of United
States courts In Utah was agreed to , the
conft-rrnce being an agreement to the house
amendments.
The conference report on Jho legislative ,
executive and judiciary appropriation bill
was agreed to ,
A further conference on the agricultural
bill was directed.
The jonati turned to private pension bills
and twenty-four bills were passed , thus
clearing the pciiHlon calendar. Ono of the
bills penslcns the widow of General Benja
min S. Roberts at ? 50 per month.
Mr. Quay gave notice that on Thursday
ho would call up the house hill authorizing
the appolniment of a nonpartlsan commis

( Itin Arc Under IlNcii'o
WASHINGTON , Feb. 1C. The arbitration
treaty was not preened In the executive ses
sion today and It may not be called up again
until Thursday. Senator Sherman said today
that he would press the treaty over all other
legislation , except apprnprhtlon bills. Ho
did not Intend to have It stand In the way
ot appropriation bills. Mi. Sherman will
not make a motion to postpone the treaty ,
but It la understood that such a motion
will bo mado. It Is believed that the motion
will prevail. Those who arc opposed to the
treaty will , of course , vote for postponement ,
while a number who ilcairo to go on with
business , together with these who want
more consideration for the treaty , will vote
the same way. It Is the dcelro of Mr. Sher
man to have n vote , as he docs not feel that
ho should consent to put the treaty over
without testing the sense of the senate. No
one now- believes there lo any hope of a di
rect vote on the treaty at this session.
The early part of the executive session
today was occupied by Senator Morgan , who
talked In support of his resolution to abrogate
the Clayton-llulwer treaty. There is little
prospect of a vote on this resolution at thu !
session.
Nearly all the afternoon was consumed In
the discussion of the nomination of Harry
G. Davis to bo district attorney of the Dis
trict of Columbia.

WASHINGTON , Fob. 15. A pitiful story
for the ear of the mill woiker Is that told by
United States Consul Monaghan at Chemnitz
In the court of a report to the State depart
ment upon the stuigglo for supicmacy of
the German weavers. He says that seeking
the reason for the loss to England of Amuil-
can and other maikets for textiles the Ger
man manufacturers bsllevo they have found
It In the fact that In Hngland a mill hand
tends two looms , whllo In Germany he tends
but one. Hence the word has gene out that
the CnglUh practice Is to prevail In Ger
many. The mill hands are In despair. In
vain they have urged that the heavy extra
work will break them down physically at
40 years of age , that their eyes will wear
out and that half ot their number will be
thrown out of employment without knowing
another way to earn a livelihood , The new
order will go Into effect. The manufacturem

must do as I3ngland docs It Is practically

WASHINGTON , Feb. 15. Preparations
for the great exposition at Paris to com
memorate the close of the present century
have so far advanced as to warrant United
States Consul Moore at the French capital
In sending to the department a most elabo
rate report upon that government enter ,
prise , Indicating what has already been done
and the plans for the complete exposition
the general scheme of the exposition Is now
well defined , the work of demolition and
construction during the period of a little
more than three years remaining , which will
barely sufilce , having begun. The exposition
will open April 15,1900 , and close November
5 of the same jcar. The site will comprise
the public grounds on both sides of the
Seine from the Place do la Concorde , the
great Monumental square In the very ccntci
of the city , to a point bejond tbe Pont
d'Jona , embracing the Champ do Mars , the
Trocadero palace ( site of the exposition ol
1SS9) ) , the Usplanade dcs Invalids ? , thr
Quay d'Orsay. the Quay de m Conference ,
the Cour la Heine , and a large section of
the Champs Klvseos , Including the site of
the Palace I'lndustrlo , the great building
erected for the exposition of 1885 , the first
of the series.The unique Trocadero palace
will be used again , as well as several of the
exposition halls of 1889 In the Champa de
Mars'but will undergo more or less modi
fication. The niffcl tower will be preserved ,
but It Is probable that new and striking
features will be added to It. The Palace
il'Industrle , which honied the entire expo
sition of 1885 and has since served as the
annual convention hall of the Soslclto ties
Trances , will disappear , and on Its site will
rise a mammoth hall as a permanent menu
ment.
Demolition Is already In progress. To the
west , on the Sale side , will be built the
hall of Liberal Arto , also a permanent
structure , and a broad avenue will inn to
the Seine , across which U being constructed
a magnllicc-U bridge named after Alexander
III. of Hussla , by whoso son , the present
emperor the cornerstone was laid during his
recent visit to Paris. A number of mol-
ern hotels are m course of construction ,
new theaters and the magnificent Opera
Comlque will be completed. Parks and gar
dens will be laid out In all parts of the
city , the roads leading to the Hols will be
laid out In terraces covered by ( lowers and
extensive use made ot electric light It Is
the Intention to make the exposition sur
pass all pr-deccssors In France and else
where , not perhaps In extent or In archi
tectural features , for It Is conceded that In
these respects there Is IfUlc hope of
eclipsing the gieat achievements at Chicago
cage , but In Its artistic aspett , In the logi
cal , comprehensive and scientific sjstem of
classification and award and In the uni
formity and harmony of the whole. In a
word , the ambition of the projectors lleb
ehlelly in the direction of artistic excellence

WASHINGTON , Feb. 15. In the United
States supreme court today an opinion was
lianded down by Justice Brown In the case
) f the Atlantic & Pacific Railroad company
igalnst Robert Mlngns , appealed from the
lecr o of the supreme court of New Mexico.
Pho case was an action ot ejection brought
ay the railroad company to recover a piece
3f land towhich the company claimed title
jndcr its grant of 18CG. The decision of the
tfcw Mexico court was aginst the rallioad
jompsny and this decision was affirmed by
: ho supreme court today.
In the case of James M BeWeesc agalnot
laoob H. Hardln and otheis , ( opinion by
lustlce Hrewer ) , the court sustained the con-
cntlon of the btato of Nebraska in regard
: o the vallditj of .the state land grant as
igalnst the Hurlington Railroad company.
Justice Bitwcr also lead the opinion of
; he court In the cases of the United States
igalnat the Wlnona & St. Peter Railroad com
pany and the Wlnona & St. Peter Lind com-
uny , the United States agalnnt the Union
I'aclllc and the United States against the
3t Paul & Sioux City Railroad company ,
involving the validity of the land grants of
hose companies The decisions In the court
jolow had all been In favor of the companies
ind the supreme couit aihrmcd them all In
mo opinion Tho-court In another opinion ,
nvolving the Wlnona companv , held the
ne-eniption claims filed anterior to the com
pany's claims wore valid.
The question Involved In all the railroad
: ases was the effect of dcclaialory statc-
nents by persons professing to intend to
iottlo made prior to the railroad grants ,
.vlilch. . It was claimed , should have the
iamo effect In validating the giant as should
; ho actual settlement. The courts below
icld that they should not , and today's opln-
on sustains this view. The decision will
inlet title to many tracts of land In Mlnne-
lota , Iowa and other states.
The court In an opinion by Justice Peck-
mm reversed the decision of the district
onrt for the northern district of Iowa In
ho case of Rufua K. Groves , and gave In-
itructlons for a now trial Groves was con
victed of making false entries In the reports
n regard to the condition of the Connnor-
: lal National bank ot Dubuque of which ho
MIS president.
In the case of John Chetwold , jr. , of Call-
'ornla ' the court decided to Issue a writ of
srror. to the dlstilct of California holding the
udgo of that court to have exceeded ills
urlsdlctlon In threatening arrest for con-
.ompt ot court , The case Is one which In-
, -olved the nffulru of a defunct national bank
if Sa : Francisco , and for a tlmo aroused
louuldcrnlilo Interest because of the dispute

WASHINGTON , Fob 15. The United

n the case ot the United States against the
itoamer Thieo Friends on the motion of the
ittornoy general for a writ of ccrtlorari to

inlt to bring the coso to the supreme court ,
ho steamer having been libeled for con-
Icmnatton on the charge of violation of the
leutrallty laws controlling the relations bo-
ween the- United States and Spain. Asslat-
nt Attorney General Whitney mode the first
irgument for the government. He began
ly stating the question briefly , and then
ilscussrd at Ici.Mh the question ot the nature
if n recognition of belligerency. Ho ex-
dalned the effect of the net of 1817 , in the
tse of the words "colony , district or peo-
ile. " He said it waa clear that tha steamer
lad been equipped to be employed against
ho Spanish authorities by thu Cuban insur
ants. Ho read extracts from the preal-
lent's last mcfebago to show that sufficient
ecognltlon of the Cuban belligerents had
icon given by the executive to justify the
ourts in giving them their attention. The
'lorida district court had taken the position
hat It could not under the statute take
uch cognizance , but Mr. Whitney argued to
ho contrary The only question he said
i as whether the statute was applicable for
lie reason that the belligerency ot the Cubans
tad not been formally recognized. It was
ruu In the technical meaning of Intcrna-
lonal law that the Cubans had not been
ecognlzed as belligerents , but oven K this
has the case , there were other statutes con-
ornlng piracy and enlisting men for hos-
llitiea against a friendly power which were
.ppllcable. As a matter ot fact , there was
lathing In the statutes to require a recognl-
Ion of belligerency to bet the law In mo-
Ion.

icared for the owners , Mr. Plillll ; > s do-
Ired to know If the question as to whether
ho words "colony , district or people , " in
ho law of 1817 , applied to the Cuban In-
urgenta , was presented by the record In
Ihls case No suili UoJy as the republic of
Cuba was ho snld Anywhere referred to.
As a matter of fncl ? he attorney general
had been the first 'ampjiB the responsible
oflrcra of the govowiropnt to rmploy this
phrase. He claimed thiro had been ft mis
take as to the IrgaV nroantng of the word
"neutrality , * ' which Js Inseparable from bel
ligerency. to whlrfy tbo neutral Is not a
party , He asserted ( h'\ ) the words "Insur
gents" nnd "revoltiMfirllsls" have no legal
moaning , but that twhbn recognized by a
neutral government jnsuoh recognition
amounts to a recognition of belligerency
or Independence. "
Mr. Coikrcll Ut-Ren-3Sat the libel failed
lo show the criminal , tlntent as required
by the law , of the offending person , nnd
that It did not even show- who tbo off end
ing persons were. " ' ' " '
Attorney General ilal'ir.on closed for the
government. Ho sall | t ) > at while the Cuban
Insurrection had not shown Itself to be
stronx enough to warrant the recognition of
belligerency , still thcro had been sufilelcnt
recognition that a state of war existed.
So far as formal recognition was concerned ,
ho claimed the Insurgents were better off
without It. He closed with an appeal for
the observance of the neutrality laws , and
tirgod that congress hud provided abundant
means for their enforcement.
At the conclusion of Mr. Harmon's ar
gument the court ndjournod without an
nouncing any opinion , until the first Monday

WASHINGTON , Feb. 15 The committee
on coinage today took up again the. bill for
an international conference. The proceod-
ngs were begun by Representative Hartman
if Montana , a member of the committee ,
who urged that action should bo taken as
eon ns possible upon the bill. In view of the
approaching death of the Fifty-fourth con
gress.
Representative Fowler of Now Jersey , a
nrmber of the banklrg committee , cpoko ii-
opposition to the pi ejected conference. In the
icgjnnlng , ho replied to certain argument
naclo at an early meeting by Represetitatlv *
Vew lands of Nevada upon the effect of the
lemonetlzatlon of silver. The entire world
li.ul been swept since 1SS4 by . wave of
speculation. Incident to this thousands of
miles of steam railroads , miles of street
railroads , which would not pay for many
years , had been built. Thousands of acres
of farms had been cut into building lots
rthlch wcro unoccupied. Railroads had been
busy carrying on the light to constiuct specu
lative works throughout the western ctatcs
When the inevitable collapse came those
roads wore left without any business , except
supplying the daily necessities of the po * . il
lation.
Representative Towns of Minnesota In
quired whether Iho silver standard countiles
liad sufferel as much from such causus S
the gold standard countries
To this Mr. Fowler replied that the silver
standard nations had already reached the
iottom level in business , and If they moved
it all , they could only jnovo upward ,
Replying to Mr , NPW lands' argument upon
ho fffeot o. * the fall In'Vages ' In Japan and
-hlna from the demonetization of silver , Mr.
[ -'owlcr bald that a fall from 15 to 20 cents
n Japanese wages iwas Immaterial so far
is the financial question was concerned.
I'liot competition resttxl upon a difference In
: lvtllzatlons , and as the United States had
> xcluded Chinese iabor.iit could exclude the
irolucts of that laborMr , Newlands al-
cged that the appreciation In values duo to
ho demonetisation of nllvt-r had stimulates
reduction In sliver standard countries bo-
: aiife these countries „ vvcro unwilling to
urn their silver lnto t gld at a great loss
o buy the products , ufBoIil ( standard coun-
rles.
The question of an "International confer-
mce liad not been reached when the noon
lour came , and there was a discussion over
ho questlor of a vote on the resolutions
Ur. Breweter moved that the committee ad-
ourn for ono week , which was taken to be
m effort In the direction of postponing ac-
iou until the next congress , Mr. Hartman
Jdged that a vote bo taken at once. Sev
eral members of the house asked to bo al
ow cd to epeak on the question , Incidentally
ilr. Fowler announced that ho was opposed
o any conference. Mr. Falrchtld of New

will be the result of the revel so decision o
the national assembly of the League o

divisional option question , California Ben
on three able delegates ) from the northeri
portion to bring about favorable action 01
the request , which was made without n
threat of what might happen. Two of these
delegates. Hubert Welsh , the California mem
ber of the racing board , and Frank Kerrigan
one of San Tranclwo's judge ? , chief con'U
of the North California division and prcildcnt
of the Hay City \\heelinen of that city , were
neon In Now York last night and ijavo out
the following Intenlcw.
*
"Wo do not sec how a division of. the
League of American Wheelmen racln ? inter
ests can well bo a\oldul now that the nuta
tion of Sunday racing has noon so dis
astrously settled for the coming season by
the asa. mbl > . Wo do not tec that thcro la any
pocisiblo way In which that action can b : >
annulled , nnd the fact of the matter Is
th.it wo do not adco ! ! the tracks uf northern
California or the west to stay In the league.
Our light was undo to the best of our ability
and lobl because the members of the as-
ccinlilj thought more of what people might
say tluii of the rights In the nnttor.
"Now It | E > a casw that lies with the track
ov/nero of tlio west , and wo think that they
will at oiico intko preparations to go out
uf the league. Nothing will be done In a
hurry In the matter. Should the step be
taken , It will bo nftor the otganlzatlo.i of the
new league hns been made complete We
must niako no ciror In tlilj matter. Our
conntrj's grcatert need Is Sunday aport. The
national circuit will start In California just
the same und there will be over a doion days
of racing between April 20 and May 10. If
any action looking to secession la taken
lirevloiiEi to May 10 It will only bo toward
the fonn.itlon of a new racing body , nnd not
toward anything that will place no on the
lilack ll"t with the league. The national
assembly will , wo are sure , al the next
meeting adopt the measure for the oucco-
of whlf i we were sent east , und then we will
rognln our plates In the controlling body.
Meanwhile It will mean a neparato boily , and
( hat boly will be well and ably managed , the
Miles being anile as stilct In all respects
and similar to the rnlcj of the League of
American Wheelmen , except that the prize
llmltn may be ril"od and the prli.cipal part
of the racing will b ? on Sunda > "

JKFFnRSON CITY , AIo. , Feb. 13. Gov
ernor Stephens has just decided that ho will
not Interfere In thu case of Di. Aithur
Ducslrow , the millionaire of St. Louis ,
sentenced to bo hanged nt Union , Mo. , to
morrow for the murder of his wife nnd
child.
Dr. Ducstrow murdered his wife nnd child
In cold blood on February 13 , 1S94 , and hai
been tried several times for the crime , and
twlco Investigations as to his sanity have
been made. Every technicality known to
law has been taken advantage of to sa\o
hia life. Yesterday a commission of In
sanity experts , sent hero to examine Ducs-
tiow , did so nnd icportcd to the governor
today. As a rcbult of their decision Gov
ernor Stephens has decided to let the law
take Its courio , and Duescrow will be hanged
tomorow at Union , Mo , , wheie ho waa con
victed. That Is , unless as a last resort the
sheriff's Jury , which Dnestrow's attorneys
have decided to summon , do not declaio him
Insane.
The commission was composed of three
prominent doctors Two of them reported
that to their minds Ducotrovv was peifcttly
sane and was only Fhammlng. The thiid ill--
untcd from thly opinion , and declaied that
he thought Ducstrovv was mentally Incapable.
This commission consisted of Drs. Woodsan
ot the St. Joseph nsjlum , Robltihon of Fulton
and Coombs of Kan aH City. Drs. WooJson
and Coombs decided Ducstrovv fane , whllo
Robln'on fiought ho wna Insane , bherlft
Puclita of Franklin county left here this
morning for Unlo.i with Ducstrow In cus
tody. Dtieatrow's nttornovs had Intended to
appeal to the United States supreme court ,
but the governor's refusal to grunt a ictplto
will defeat this move.
UnUrfa Governor Stephens cliould Inter
fere , n contlri * ; ° iicy which la considered Ini-
piobable , Arthur Ducstrow will be hangad
tomorro < , at Union. Mo , between tlio hours
of 11 nnd 'i. It had been inlcndud to eon
duct the execution at a very early hour , but
ns omo hopes of a reprieve still linger with
the att.mic-,3 of the condemned man Iho
