MriHran wmww1 TO YOTE ON MONDAY. Kear the Close of the Debate on the Montana Election Contest. TJLT BETWEEN EVAllTS AND GEAT. Congressman Phelan Talks About the Chal lenge to a Duel. HE MIKES A CHAUGE OP COWAEDICE AjaifiBtthellin Wno Declined to Meet Eim ca the Field of Honor. It is the intention to press the Montana Senatorial contest to a vote on Monday. Evarts and Gray took a leading part in the debate yesterday, and a flat contradiction on a statement of fact occurred. Congress man Pbelan intimates tbat the man who re fused to fight a dnel with him is a coward. "Washington, April 11. In the Senate to-day the consideration of the Montana election case was resumed, and, as no Sen ator sought the floor, the yeas and nays were ordered in the first resolution, and the rote was about being taken when Mr. Evarts rose and suggested that if no Senator on the other Bide desired to speak he would proceed to make the closing argument in aupport of the committee's report Mr. Morgan said that he did not care to address the Senate, but, after hearing the very able and distinguished lawyer from New York, he might feel himself required to say something, either in approval or dis approval, and so he did not wish to be understood as beine embraced withinany agreement that the Senator from New York should now close the debate in the case. TALKING ALWAYS IN OEDER. Mr Evarts said that there was always understood the right of any Senator to make any remarks before the vote was taken. It had been wisely said by the Senator from Ohio (M. Sherman) that the matter lay in a nutshell, but it sometimes took time to find out whether the nut contained the meat or only the worm. Therefore an efiort on the one side and on the other to arrive at the true proposition, which was to affect and turn the vote of the Senate, could not be dispensed with. He then proceeded to state, in detail, the facts and circumstances of the Montana election, and to discuss the cowers of the Territorial Canvassing Board, on which he said there were no limitations imposed by the statute in words. By that he meant tbat its powers were unlimited within the sense that belonged to the phrase to which it was applied, and to the subject to which it was applied. THE IDEAS OF EVAETS. After a long dissertation on duties and doings of the connty canvassers, and of the Territorial canvassers, in the course of which he criticised the Governor of the State for placing a janitor at the door of the Court House assembly, to admit only such persons as were entitled to go in (thns mak ing him for the occasion the judge of who were and who were not elected as representatives), Mr. Evarts said that the proposition on the Democratic side was that the Senate was to be a canTassing board higher than the Ter ritorial canvassing board, while the propo sition on the Republican side was that the Senate had no such power of revision. The latter, he said, was the proposition of the Constitution, of the safety of the Senate and of the equality of the States. Having sat around a baize table in the committee room with four eminent lawyers on the Democratic side, and heard the whole mat ter discussed there as a question of law. he had not expected to hear such arguments as he had heard in the Senate chamber from Senators on the other side, but he had learned that it was quite a different thing to speak in a committee room and to speak where the voice resounded beyond the walls. It was another case of Counsellor Puff, with his two voices. TO VOTE ON MONDAT. Mr. Gray replied to the point made by Mr. Evarts. He defended the Governor of Montana from the criticism made upon him on account of his instructions given to the janitor of the Court House Assembly, and asserted that the only direction given to the janitor by the Governor was a letter of in structions that he should admit everyone who claimed to be a member of the House of Representatives. After further debate Mr. Hoar gave no tice that on Monday he should ask the Senate to remain in cession until the Mon tana case was disposed of. He would not call it up to-morrow, as there might be an implied understanding that Saturday's ses sions were to be devoted to the calendar. CALLS HDI A COWARD. Concrrsimnn Pbelan .Shows ntmielf Expert With the Fen ni Well as the Sword He Justifies His Wnrllke Challence. Washington, April 11. Bepresenta tive Phelan has written a card for publica tion in which, after giving a history of the origin of the trouble between himself and Colonel Fleming, he says: It struck me when I read Colonel Fleming's letter to the Memphis paper tbat he said one of the two Ideas in his mind, either that my scrupu lous politeness was founded upon fear of him, or that he was determined to force a difficulty. He spoke of my apology as having "all the outward seeming of a manly apology." He says. howeTer, that "read according to its true inwardness it is quite as insulting and dishonest as the one for what it is offered as an apology. ' He says: "You must pardon me for saying that 1 regard this latter note as but a crafty device," etc As soon as 1 read this letter I sent him a message which it seemed to me bis letter was intended to provoke. I addressed this personally to him. I expected a reply which would be a challenge to me or enable rae to send him a challenge, for my message was not a challenge. Colonel Fleming, however, held my message for two days and then cub lished it. From one who had seemed so anxious to jorce me to ine wan l did not expect the plea that he Ignored the code." Now I do not un dertake to defend the so-called code. Its bar barity is still an issue between Eneland and the entire continent of Europe. I frankly confess I can find no more excuse for "the code" than for anything else which leads to violence or personal injurv. But I have never hppn nMo tn see the moral distinction between doinganotber a malicious mischief forbidden by the laws of God and offering an expiation forbidden also by the laws of man. But 1 do regard its laws is purely conventional, and only binding on those who voluntarily assume them. I have the highest admiration for the moral courage of a man whose whole life of justice to others and npright intercourse with his fellow men Justify him in repudiating a resort to violence But when repudiation of "the code" is used as a shield to protect one who is anything but just to others, and when the overbearing, the mall cious and the domineering, unexpectedly checked in the roll or bnlly, cry ont against it, I naturally imagine that the fear of Injurv to toe person and the impulse of cowardice invest the so-called "code" with a degree of barbarity which is convenient if not admirable. That I acted hastily in sending a message de signed to elicit a challenge to a man who ignores the code, I readily admit But having been warned to "handle him carefully," I as sume that the bullying tone of his refusal to accept a hearty apology was the result, amone other contingencies, of overwhelming personal courage. The refusal to accept my apology in the part of a man whom I supposed to be brave, filled me with Inexpressible humiliation, at which I now smile. Colonel Fleming, in bis answer, says 1 have made myself ridiculous. This is true. But then I did not know Fleming as I do now. He refers to fact that denuncia tion follows the refusal to accept a challenge. I did not challenge him. As for "posting" him, I think that even a desire to press this ridic ulous affair nonld now not have justified this. He has posted himself. I am ready to accept the verdict of those who refect the "code" tbat 1 acted in a manner tbat was unjustifiable. But in view of the abuse to which I was subjected, and in view of the scornful and insulting re fusal to accept an unequivocal and frank apolocy. I think I can safety leave to that por- erons. to sar whether what I did was without uuu ui iue worm wnicu is urave, jusi ana gen palliation. A HALF-WAY DECISION. The Intcr-Stnte Commission Suikes a BaL nnce Between the Contestants. Washington, April 11. The Inter state Commerce Commission, by Mr. Bragg, Commissioner, to-day decided two cases of the New Orleans Cotton Exchange versus the Illinois Central Bailroad Company and 17 others and the Cincinnati, New Orleans and Texas Pacific Kailway Companies and others, involving relative reasonable basis of rates on cotton from interior points in the cotton growing country, and on com pressed and uncompressed to Northern and Eastern mills, and relative methods of transportation and competition of different lines in opposite directious. The points decided are too numerous to summarize, but the Commission corrects by adjustment the relative rates from Jackson, Miss., and Meridian to New Orleans, and overrules the complaint of all other grounds.

Desperate Attack of sing feioc Convicts Upon Their Gnnrd Armed Men bent In Far suit Tbe Prisoner Recap tared in tbe Woodf. Sing Sing, N. Y., April 11. One of the most desperate and successful escapes ever made from Sing Sing prison occured this alternoon. At about 2:30 o'clock this after noon Keeper See took James Kelly and Michael Feeny, two convicts, to the old female prison to clean the place, prior to locking up the prisoners for the night. As the trio entered the building, Kelly saw August Clint, a con vict, cleaning lamps, he being the only per son in the large prison. Kelly grabbed Clint and pushing him into a vacant cell, locked him in. Feeny grappled with his guard, and a desperate struggle ensued. Before he could draw his revolver, See was felled to the floor by a blow on the forehead with a hammer which Kelly car ried. As See started to get up both men jumped upon him and told him if he wanted to save his life he had better lay still. They took his re volver and keys and bound his hands. They went to Keeper Pierce's room and quickly taking off their prison garb dressed themselves in suits belonging to Pierce. After they had dressed themselves they went downstairs into the basement of the prison, and, unlocking the door, started to ward New York City. As soon as Kelly and Feeny had disap peared Keeper See recovered enough to sit up, and finally succeeded in freeing himself. He then hastened to the prison office, where he told Warden Brush what had happened. The warden at once dispatched tbe reserve guard to look for the prisoners. About dusk tbe escaped prisoners were discovered in the woods three miles from the prison. The guards immediately raised their car bines, and covering the prisoners, ordered them to throw up their hands and surrender. Both prisoners raised their hands and sub mitted peaceably to being captured. They were securely handcuffed and taken back to the prison. PEELING AGAINST STANLEY. Germans Assort Tbat the Explorer Had Deluded Emln With Promises. London, April 12. The Times corres pondent at Berlin says he notes a growing anti-Stanley feeling there. Herr Beichard, while lecturing recently, declared that Stanley, while on his search for Livingstone, learned from Arabs at Zanzibar Livingstone's location, but con cealed his discovery in order to enhance his feat. The lecturer further declared that Stanley, by threats, had induced Emin to leave Wadelai, because he himself had failed in commercial land grabbing and speculation, utterly unredeemed by a hu man purpose or a leeling for Emin. The lecturer read a letter from Count Stallaire, whose son, the Zanzibar agent of the German East Africa Company, had been informed that Stanley's proposition to Emin was to collect forces and go and estab lish himself and found stations in Kavirondo, while Stanley would bring two steamers froi Mombasa and join him in an expedition to conquer Uganda and TJnvoro, and create them provinces of an equatorial dominion, of which Emin, with a princely "salary, should be ruler, in the service of the British East Africa Company. Bailways would be built from the coast through the dominion, connecting with the sources of the Nile. This scheme, the writer said, would prove the grave of the commercial hopes of Ger mans.

Work on a Dozen Largo Unfinished Buildings in New York City STOPPED BI WALKING DELEGATES To Compel the Employment of Union Men at Hecla Iron Works. ULTIMATUM OP THE CHICAGO STRIKERS Ike Journeymen Beiterate Their Demand lor an Eight-Honr Day. A strike among the building trades in New York has been precipitated by the re fusal of an architectural iron firm to employ anion men. The Chicago strikers issue their ultimatum, from which they say they will not recede. rsPECIAl. TELEGRAM TO THE DIEPATCn.l New Yoke, April 11. The trouble be tween the Housesmiths' XJnion and Poulson & Eger, proprietors of the Hecla Architec tural Bronze and Iron Works, in Williams burg, culminated this afternoon in a gen eral strike of the workmen employed on buildings in which the iron work is being done by that firm. During the noon recess the Board of Walking Delegates informed the union men employed on half a dozen large buildings in this city that a strike had been ordered, and at 1 o'clock more than 1,000 men refused to resume their work, and, for the most part, left the bmldings where they were employed. Few of them knew the reason for the strike, as only the housesmiths were directly interested in it. ONLY union men -wanted. The strikers in New York were at work on the Pulitzer, Union Trust Company, Lancashire, Brown Bros., Mechanics Bank and Oriental Insurance buildings, and on the buildings that are being erected on Eighty-first street and Ninth avenue. They comprise housesmiths, plumbers, gas fitters, steam fitters, carpenters, stair builders, painters, varnishers, marble cutters, hod hoisting engineers, electric house wiremen, tile layers and fratners. Last week a strike was ordered on several of Poulson & Eger's buildings in this city, to compel the firm to employ union men in the Hecla Iron Works. Only the house smiths stopped work, and the Board of Walking Delegates threatened then that a general strike would be ordered if an at tempt was made to fill the places of the housesmiths with non-union men. Charles Hardy, the shop delegate of the House smiths' Union, says that Mr. Poulson signed an agreement with him and the out side delegates ot Brooeiyn ana .New jcorK on Thursday afternoon. an agbeeuent signed. By this agreement the firm was to employ none but union men, under tbe nine-hour rule; that the walking delegates of the housesmiths' unions of Brooklyn and this city should have the privilege of visiting the company's shops to learn whether the workmen were in good standing in their union. In accordance with this agreement the strides were ordered off, and Shop Delegate Hardy intended this morning to organize tbe Hecla Iron Works as a union shop. Delegate Hardy says that heandtwooutside delegates called at the Hecla Iron Works this morning and asked to be permitted to go through the shops. Mr. Paulson, he says, called in his foreman, and pointing out the delegate, 'said: "These are the men who want to go through our shoes." Then he ordered the delegates to leave the office. The delegates returned to this city and laid the matter before the Board of Walking Delegates, which was then in session. The Board ordered a general strike in all the buildings where the Hecla Iron Company is doing work. WILL FOECE A TIGHT. Shop Delegate Hardy said to-day that the Housesmiths' Union would force Paulson & Eger to comply with union rules or for feit their contracts on the buildings where other than union men are employed. There are about 00 men employed in the Pulitzer building and about the same number in the Union Trust Company's building on Broad way, near Wall street Meetings were held to-night of the differ ent branches of the housesmith workers of Williamsburg, and committees were ap pointed to confer with tbe Housesmiths' Union and to ask the co-operation ot the Central Labor Union, of Brooklyn, and the District Assembly of the Knights of Labor, which will hold their meetings on Sunday. THE CARPENTERS' DLTIMATDM. An Eight-Hour Day and Fixed Wages la What Tbey Demand. Chicago, April 11. It is now stated that each side to the carpenters' strike has issued its ultimatum. It has now settled down to a question of endurance and the general impression is that the fight will be a protracted one. The boss carpenters Bay they propose to go to work to fill strikers' places on Monday next. About SO employers, who are not mem bers of the Master Carpenters' Association, held a meeting to-night, and, after forming an organization, appointed an Arbitration Committee to meet a similarcommittee from the Journeymen. The new organization is composed of the smaller bosses, each of whom employs from three to five workmen. The Journeymen's Executive Council to night issued another address to the public, reiterating the demands for a fixed minimum rate of wages and an eicht-hour day. A vig orous denial is entered to the pleas that the Masters Association is a purely social affair and that the council could not enforce its side of an agreement. CIgarmakcrs Returning- to Work. Chicaoo, April 11. About 70 cigar makers were at work in the Columbia fac tory to-day, most of them new hands, thongh a lew of yesterday's strikers re turned to work this morning.

Representative Expired Yesterday Afternoon Death Cansed by a, Hemor rhngo of tbe Lantn A History of tbe Young Man's Political Carper. Hon. James Bulger, ex-Assemblyman from this district, died yesterday afternoon at his home, No. 2741 Smallman street. Mr. Bulger was one of the best known young men in the city, and served two terms in the Legislature. He had been ailing for several months with consumption, and last Saturday evening he had ahemorrhage of the lungs. He had been out walking during the day and greatly overtaxed his strength. Upon reaching home he was so weak that he could not stand, and bis physician or dered him to bed. His condition became quite critical, but several times he rallied 8nd it was thought he would pull through. On Wednesday he grew worse and owing to the weak condition of his lungs, he was given up to die. He lingered until 4:45 yesterday afternoon when he expired. He was surrounded by his family and relatives at tbe time. Mr. Bulger was 33 years of age and was married. He was born in the Twelfth ward February 25, 1857, and has been living in that district all his life. He received the rudiments of an education in the Twelfth ward school, but had to forego his studies at a tender age. He went to work in a glass house, and soon learned the trade. For several years up until 1888 he had been keeping a saloon, and his place was the headquarters of the politicians in that vicinity. At the first term of the License Court he applied for a retail license but was refused. He then consented to become a candidate for the Legislature against Fred Heil, the well-known ex-detective. Mr. Bulger was elected by a big majority, and when he went to Hamsburg he had the honor of being the only Democrat among 1G representatives from Allegheny county. Prior to his election to the Legislature, he had been a school director, and served sev eral terms in Councils. He was quiet and unassuming in his manner, and was always found on the Democratic side of any ques tion. He was considered the best Demo cratic worker in the Twelfth ward. He ap plied for license at the present sitting of the court, but was again refused. Since that time tbe action of the court seemed to have depressed him in spirits. The funeral ser vices will be held in St. Patrick's Church, corner Penn avenue and Seventeenth street, Monday morning. PLATING FOR CHAEITI. Sphere Twlrlera Will Enter the Field for tbe Newsies. The Allegheny League Baseball Club, being prevented by the national agreement from playing the Pittsburg Brotherhood club for the benefit of the Newsboys' Home fund, has arranged a game for the above ob ject with the Climax club, a crack Alle gheny amateur team. The game will come off at Recreation Park on Monday afternoon at 3:30 o'clock, and the entire proceeds will go to the Newsboys' Home fund. The ama teurs will even things up somewhat by taking Miller and Sowders, the crack bat tery of the Alleghenys. They will also place one or two professionals in the field. This will be one of the last opportunities to see a professional game in this vicinity for 25 cents. Popular prices coupled with tne good object to which the receipts are to be devoted, will draw a large crowd. Tickets are on sale at the different newspaper offices, McClurg's store, corner Fifth avenue and Wood street; the Press branch office, No. 93 Federal street, Allegheny, and Frank Cur ry's, Ohio street, Allegheny. FIREBUGS AGAIN IN OAKLAND. Another Tery Mysterious Fire Occurs on Ward Street. Another mysterious fire occurred in Oak land at 10 o'clock last night. This time it was the new residence ot John J. Dasch Basch on Ward street, near Cato. The house was not quite finished and the origin of the fire is unknown. The loss was $4,000. This is another of the apparently incendiary fires which have so far baffled all the efforts of the police. It is the general impression that one man is responsible for all of them. On the night oi January 11 Mrs. Joseph Daschbasch saw a man on the porch of her home, which is near the residence which was burned down last night. The descrip tion she gives of him tallied exactly with the description given of the man who had fired the residence a few weeks before on Oakland avenne and who was also seen run ning away from the O'Neil residence in Oakland square the time it was fired. The Oakland citizens want to know why the po lice officials of the Third district are unable to catch the firebug. MRS. R0CES DISCHARGED. A Lawrencevllle Woman Charged With Abandoning Her Children. Mrs. Mary Bocks, of Fortieth street, was given a hearing before Alderman Warner, last night, on charges of cruelty, neglect and abandonment of three minor children. The information was made by Superin tendent M. J. Dean, ot the Anti-Cruelty Society. The evidence produced at the hearing was sufficient to fine the defendant, but quite a number of mitigating circumstances were shown in favor of Mrs. Rocks. On that account she was discharged, after she had been lectured by both Mr. Dean and the Alderman. NOT DANGEROUS CHARACTERS, But Three Yonnssters Wbo Ban Away From Harrlsbars. Chief of Police Murphy, of Allegheny, received a telegram from Harrisburg last night, relative to the three boys caught by Detectives Steele and Johnson on Thursday, in a board yard on Morgan street, and who were supposed to know something of a lot of pawned stolen goods in this city. It appears now that the boys are innocent and runaways from Harrisburg. They are now in jail under the names of Miller, Rhodes and Conway. The telegram said a ticket awaited Miller at the Union station, but the other two could walk. THOUGHT A FALSE RDM0E. Forcer Brosi Said to bo Working; In an Eastern Glass Factory. It was reported on the Southside last night that a friend of J. C. Brosi, tbe al leged forger, had received a letter from him and that Mr. Brosi is now working in an Eastern glass house. No foundation for the rumor could be found. Magistrate Succop, before whom the in formation was made, had not heard any thing about the matter. The police officials have not heard from Brosi and no one could be found who had. Brosi's store has been converted into a shooting gallery. LOCAL ITEMS. LIMITED. Incidents of a Day In Two Cities Condensed for Ready Readies. AT a meeting of the Board of Directors of St. Josepb Orphan Asylum, Dr. J. S. Phillips, the pbysldan of the asylnm, presented his resignation. The board reluctantly accepted it. The confinement at the asylum Interfered with Dr. Phillips' outside practice. Fbederick Getz was arrested last night, charged with aggravated assault and battery upon Joseph Koraski, a Pole, at the P. R. R. round house, Twenty-eighth street, Thursday evening. A boiler exploded yesterday morning at tbo Allegheny Bessemer Steel Works, Duquesne. It vi as in a battery of 24 boilers, but only tbe one exploded. No one was injured. K. W. aNd H. J.

Williamson's Testament to la Bit terly Contested. AN IMPORTANT FEATURE OF THE WILL Is Knll and Told, iccordiss to the Direct Heirs el the Dead Uin. A contest was begun in Philadelphia yesterday against the will ot Philanthropist Williamson, who left his fortune to establish a training school for boys. The provision concerning the interest, which will amount to ?4,600,000 in ten years, is asserted to bo null and void. ISrZCLU. TZI.ZOKA1C TO THS DISFATCH.1 Philadelphia, April 11. The first clash over the estate of Isaiah Y. "William" son, who left an estate of $12,000,000 to found a training school for boys in this city, occurred to-day when the estate was before Judge Ferguson in the Orphans Court. The contest arises over the question of what shall be done with the balance of income for the year, of 457,456 73. It is claimed tbat the fourteenth item of tha will is void in so far as accumulation of in terest is directed, and the court is asked to award the balance of income iii the hands of the executors directly to the next of kin in proportion to their several interests. THE CASE IK COUET. The estate came up for audit upon the account of Daniel B. Cummins, President of the Girard National Bank, who is the surviving executor. The heirs who wera present nearly filled the room. By the in ventory and additional receipts.the account ant charges himself with $10,380,654, and after providing for the payment of all the pe cuniary legacies, the accountant presented to the court a schedule of securities ap praised at $5,780,503, as the residue of the estate passing under the fourteenth item of the will. He also presented an additional schedule of securitiei, appraised at $1,515,099 26, which, lor the present, he will retain, sub ject to further accounting, and brought into court a balance of income for the year of $457,456 73, which the contestants asked the Court to award to the next of kin. The contestants also asked the Judge, in awarding the residuary fund to the trustee nnder the fourteenth item, to qualify the award by instruction to the trustee to account, at suitable periods, to the next of kin, for the income accruing upon the estate up to March 7, 1899. " THE ITEM IX DISPUTE. The fourteenth item of the will provides that the income from his residuary estate should be left together for ten years, when it should be divided among tbe collateral heirs. The contention was that the holding together of the income was illegal, as it was a contingent innd, depending on the death of any of the parties interested and also on heirs yet to be born. The magnitude of this contention was ap parent, when it wai seen that if the income should be the same for each of the coming years, the heirs will receive during that time cash amounting to $4,500,000. The Judge will decide the case when he adjttdi . cates the estate. EXTENDING ITS USEFULNESS. The at End Electric tompanr Greatly Increasing Its CapncllT. The Fast End Electric Light Company is about to extend its operations to a degree that will make this city one of more light at night than any other in the country, if not of sweetness. The company will extend its operations to Hazelwood, Glenwood, Home stead and Sharpsburg. A plant will ba built at the latter place, and President A. T. Bowand has bought four acres at Glen wood for a power house there. Hitherto the company has not been able to serve all the territory it had contracted for, but this extension will cover its shorts. "When the places mentioned that now sit in darkness, more or less, are illuminated, Pittsburg will be supplied with 100,000 in candescent electric lights, more than are in New York City at present, more than in any other city in the United States; NO BISK OP REPUDIATION.
