SMALL CHAXOE FOJ: TUE HOUSE EILL ZVROM A STAFF CORRESPONDENT., Washington, Fab. 2i5. The shipping subsidy bill, now uuder consideration in the Mouse, will he voted upon to-morrow after syon at 5 o'clock. The result of the vote is uowau uncertain quantity, with the friends and opponents of the bill both claiming the victoi y. Whichever way the cat jumps the vote will he a very close one, with the scales about evenly balanced. The opposition to the bill has been strongly developed during the last day or two, while the advocates of the measure arc mustering their fcrces and sire putties forth their strongest endeavors to secure the passage o! the bill-. One thing is pretty certain, however, and that is that the House bill will not become a law. T.is bill provides for a bounty of 10 and CO cents per ton for the firtand ecund 200 and the next 1.000 miles, while tut Senate bill increases the bounty to 15 nod SO cents per toil for the same distances. The bill will probably go to a conferenrc committee, and if the Senate bill is agreed to by the Houe conferees, the measure will so to tne Senate and be passed. OtherwUe, unless a satis actorj compromise is agreed upon, the bill will eventually f til. Republican Opposition to It. The speeches oi the Republican Hopkins, of Illinois, aud Candler, f Massachusetts, against the bill to-day tended to brace up some other Republicans who are really op iosed to the bill, but who desire to act with their party, and it is thought mat with lie publican opponents and absentees the bill may sutler defeat, as the Democrats will practically act in a bodv. Curnmings, ol Jfew Yorfc, is the only Democrat hitherto auueuueed in support 01 the lull. Mr. Grosvenor. of Ohio, who held tbe floor when the bill was last under considera tion, concluded his remarks in favor of the measure to-day. The time which had elapsed since he last addressed the House, he said, had controverted the argument made bv gentlemen ou the other side that the McKiuley tariff law had shutout Amer ican products from foreign markets and foreign pioducts from American markets. Under the operation ol the SIcKinley bill, as pait of the letter s.nd spirit aud purpose of that bill, the United States had opened markets or many bushels of wheat aud a good many barrels of pork. Effect or the Tariff Bill. Jlr. Grofvenor said that the reason that ihe Democrats would be in a majority in the nut House was that theie had been a mis representation and misunderstanding of the Mclvi'iley bill. To-day in the market of this country the commodities that entered into the daily life of the people (without a xmgle exception) were cheaper than they were on the 1st of September, 1890, and cheaper than t.iey had ever before been in the history of the country. At the same time, the agricultural products brought better prices tl.au they aid at the close ol the Fiftieth Congriws. Mr. Oites. of Alabama, inquired whether that, was true of cotton. Mr. Grosvenor replied that he thought so, bat was no! sure of it. Mr. Coleman, of Louisiana, interposed to say that he vias authoritatively informed thatsiuco the passage of tbe Mclvinlev bill, the price of -Jnvs bagging and tics to cotton planters bad been gr.-atlj reduced. Mr. Vaux, of Pennsylvania, asked Mr. Gro venor wLe Let in the .ast canvass in Masa causttts au'i Ohio the Republican leaders bad not asserted thai tliey did not want a cheap inda.ibtj condition of things. Praise for McKInlcy. Mr. Grovcnor replied that be knew nothing about what was averted in Massachusetts.

Democratic Doctrine From Mil's. Tlie aiHocatcs of the bili wanted ships. Why not build them. They had the protcctivi policy, which it was claimed brought dov.n tbe cost of production. It was claimed tho Mc KirJty bill bad cheapened the cost of neccssi tus. It bad cheapened one thiug. It had chcipened the wages of American labor in all parts of the country. Democratic applause, af ihe eiulcn.e.i did not IlUe cheapness, why ii-sist on cheapening the wagi.3 of the worting uiiui? In concluding his remarks.

A Voice From California. Mr. Morrow, of California, in tupportinethe measure, emphatically denied the declaration lrequcnily made that the Mil was being pressed hy au active lobby. It theie was such a lobby Sic had never beard cl it. The legislation was rcpies-od by 'he representatives of tbe leading commercial organizations of the Pacific coast, lie did not look on this measure as a. partisan on . but one that should be considered on its merits. Mr. Cummings. of Jfew York, spoke In advocacy of the bill as tending to build up the At iencau mnrchant marine aud to extend tbe Am ncan commerce. The bill would achieve re-ults that could not be achieved by tbe pass age of a liee ship substitute. Free trade and sad.irs' rights js good Democratic doctrine, hhijining Interests had always been allied to free trade. The maritime prosperity of England might be cited as au example; but even with free trade, hundreds and hundreds of millions had been drawn lrom Kucland in order to increase her carrying trade. This only Illustrated the skillful policy of Great Britain to secure and maintain the carrying trade of every other lipttou. The Tolicy or England. It was by tho use of such means that England maintained her supremacy on the seas. She Vi.fM- -- .-......,! tt rns for he- -r-,-t""'"'s that she should maintain that supremacy, and she did not carp at methods, or higgle at ex pease. This was not a protective measure, cor was it a gratuitous subsidy like the sugar sub sidy. It was t measuro to build up our decayed shipping industry. , 2 ho passago of the measure would open tbe markots of tho world to the products of tho West and Northwest. It would stimulate tho building of ships to an extraordinary extent; would give a profitable occupation to sailors, and would jive employment to 50, 0U0 or 100,000 American machinists and artisans: Mr. Fitch, of New York, opposed the bill, denying that It would prove of anybeneQt to laboring man. The stock of the Pacific Mail Steamship Company was jesterdey quoted at S3; this afternoon it was quoted at 40J.

LEEDS TURNED DOWN. the fight against hih has been a Successful one. 37iginn& Appointment to the MarshaUhlp Decided on by the Presldenta-Xieeds Refuses to Bo Placated by the Compro mise Promise of a Consulate. IFBOlt A STAIT COBRKSPOKDKXT.J "Washington, Feb. 2C The appoint ment of a United States Marshal for tbe East ern district ot Pennsylvania lias been finally determined upon, and William R. Leeds may as well school himself to receive the disappointing blow in as Christian a spirit as he possibly can. Attorney General Miller said this morning that tbe-appointment had been decided upon by tbe Presi dent, and that all jurisdiction had passed from the Department ol Justice to tbe Executive Mansion. It is not generally known that tbe antipathy to Leeds does not emanate from the White House, but is being urged bv a Cabinet officer. President Harrison has been argued with aud talked with until he agreed to com promise the situation, and he offered to ap point Leeds to a consulate if he would with draw lrom the race. This was about a week ago, and he made this statement to some gen tlemen who wero urging Leeds' appointment for the Marshalship, but he declined to state what kind or where the consulate would be. L"eds was consulted aud he flatly refused to accept the compromise, and said in explana tion that if his personal and political record was such as would admit of his appointment to a Consulate it uouM stand for ln appointment ton Federal office in Philadel) his, and as the fight against bihi appeared tohcuaced entirely upon this issue.lbe ould remain for either vic tory or defeat.' It is definitely known that the President has turned down Mr. Iieeds, and tbe appointment will m all probability be given to Magnin, of Delaware county, but it is thought that it will not de mane until alter congress adjourns. AN AN GEY CONGRESSMAN. He Bitterly Denounces an Appointment Made by President Harrison. irUOJI A KTAl'F COKKESl'ONDENT.l Washington, Feb. 26. General Catchlngs, of Mississippi, is to-day tbe maddest man in Congress. The cause ot his anger is an ap pointment made this morning for the Postmas tership at Victsburg. Itill be remembered that a negrouamed James Hill was the contest ant for Catchlngs' seat during this Congress, but the committee reported to House in favor of Catcbings, To-day President Harrison sent tbe commission of Hill to the Senate for con firmation as Postmaster at Vicksburg. Gen eral Catcbings was seen concerning tho appoint ment, and he spoke as follows: "Hill is not even a citizen of Vicksburg. He has heretofore lived in Jackson. Hut, of course, he now claims Vicksburg as his home although he is not a taxpayer and does no; own a dollar's worth of a properly in that Estate. He is simply a political tramp. His appointment is an in fernal outrage. It was for a double purpose to humiliate the white people of Vicksburg. and secondly because Harrison believed that Hill could turn him over the Mississippi dele gation in the next Republican convention. The judgment of the people of Mississippi of both political partlea will be that it is an infernal outrage upon the State. There va no lack of cood material. A half dozen white Republi cans of character and ability were applicants." AFTEE AECTIC HONORS. Engineer l'eavy to Make an Exploring Trip to the North Pole. trr.OM A ETA1T COnl'-ESFONDEXT.

Lieutenant Lnckwood, of tho Greely expedition, reached S30 22' north on the west coast of the island, and the land still continued in a northeastly di rection He was much impeded along tho coast oy having to cross floating ice and make lcug uetours tu follow tbe coast line. Mr. Peavy hopes to'avoid all sue i delays by taking theinland route. He has already made extensive explorations in tho interior of the island some years ago and believes he can travel at a comparltively high rate of speed. if he has not reached the pole before coming to the end of the land, he will travel over the sea, if he finds it lrozen. He expect- to return to th United States in the fall of 1392. Such au experienced Arctic traveler as Enineer-in-chief Melville, of tne Jeannette expedition, and tbe Greely relief expedition, believes the plan practicable. THESHAE0N POSTMASTEBSHIP.

It is possible, however, that no names of post mastera will be sent to tho Senate prior to ad journment, except nominations for onires tbe terms of whose incumbents expire previous to the close of Congress, as it isthougnt there will not be time lor tbe consideration of even all of these. In that cave Mr. Morrison's will be a recess appointment, as the term of the pre.-eut postmaster does not expire until March 2a SENATOR WILSOS'i lUNERAL.

Mr. McKenna, of California, opposed tho amendment. The Union pacific road bad been paid fur precisely tbe same kind of service rendered by the Central Pacific Both roads were bankrupt. To pay one aud not the other was flagrant discrimination.

THE EYEKTS OF THE OLD WORLD TBT DUXl.AP'6 CABLE COMPANT.l London, Feb. 26. 'We are now in a position to state reliably that the amount of the Irish funds at tbe command of both factions has been greatly exaggerated, and the' exact sum is as lollows: There are 32,000 francs cash in the hands of Messrs.- Munroe & Co., the Paris bankers; there are also in Munroe's keeping three United States Treas ury 4 per cent bonds for 810,000 each, 5 of $1,000 each, 1 of $500, 4 ot S100 and 1 of ?50, the interest upon all being past dne and still unpaid. But it is found tbat tbe funds fall slightly short ot y,000 (being in fact $43,950) instead of 32,000, as was hereto fore supposed. Probably the 32,000 francs were swelled into 32,000 through tbe care lessness or exaggeration of those who dis cussed the matter. In reference to Mr. Timothy Harring ton's and Mr. Patrick A. Chance's allusions in the Irish press to the money received for Parliamentary services and now frequently referred to in controversy, we are in a posi tion to state positivelv and without any shadow of doubt that the following mem bers of Parliament received paymentsfrnm the Irish Parliamentary fund for their ex penses iu attending Parliament: Messrs.

Some Interesting; Contests Among- the loans; Athletes at the East L'nd. GENERAL SP0RT1SG NEWS OP TBE DAY Another American Association player joined' tbe ranks of the National Leagne yesterday, and he signed a Pittsburg club contract. His name is lieilly, and he was a member of the Columbus club. The fact of his signing was annonnced by telegram to President O'Neill yesterday alternoon by Manager Hanlon. Tbe latter signed him. He will play third base for tbe local club. Reilly, it is understood, is a Princeton graduate, and is considered a fine fielder and good hitter. Mark Baldwin and Ed Swartwood speak highly of his abilities. Referring to him yesterday, Baldwin said: "I'll never forget Iteilly's first appearance in the Columbus club. It was on a Thurs day, the day on which a baud played in the Columbus "grounds. The first time Reilly went to bat he yanked the ball clean over thefence for a home run. That, of course, delighted tbe crowd, but did not send them wild. The second time he went to bat he again thumped tbe leather over the lelt field lence for another homer, and then the band played 'That's Mr. Iteilly Who Keeps the Hotel.' Why, everybody yelled, iteilly is a good plaj er." , Word was also received in the city yesterday to the effect that Jim Fogartyhad agreed to sign. It is, therefore, likely tbat he will put bis name to a contract as soon as be receives his advance money, which will probably be to day. President O'Neill is certain that one or two more first-class men will bu Bigned to-day or to-morrow. Referring to Shiudle. the Presi dent said that all League clubs had agreed to keep their bands off bim to give Philadel phia a chance. Altogether it is safe to say thitt as far as signioc good players is concerned Pittsburg is doing as well as anybody, as much quiet work is being done which will have some effect later on.

Prof. Kirchner. pf course the proceedings were enlivened by charming music One of the entertaining features nf the even ing was the "Set-to." between Pat Farreil and Fred Wise. The latter, of course, was never in it, and Farreil bad little chance to make a dis play. But be thumped Wise in an extremely lively manner. Ed Reilly, the wrestler, did not appear, and Hornbacker and an unknown gave a wrestling exhibition. Tbe class from tbe Forbes Street Turn Verein gave some ex tremely good exhibitions on tbe horizontal and parallel bars.

We all had tips as to the outcome of the battle from one of La Blanche's particular friends, and wo all won heaps of money accordingly. "When "The Marine' entered the clubrooms every person could see that, while he was trained as fine as a needle, he was in no condi tion to fight that night, as he was under the influence of liquor. "I wish you would publish this, so as your readers will understand why 'The Marine' was worsted so easily. In mv oninion ('Young Mitchell' is not in it with Dempiey.

PITTSBURG COMBINATION CLOTIIIXG COUPXT, COR. GrRAjNTT AND DIAMOND STS., OPP. THE COURT HOUSE. OPEN SATURDAY UNTIL 10 P. M. PROF. HERMAN DEAD. Sudden Demise of a "Well-Known Man A Once Unfrocked Priest Who Re canted Before His Death and Received the East Rites of Ills Chnrcn. Prof. P. G. Herman, the well-known music teacher, died yesterday morning at 705 Penn avenue. Ten years ago he was a Catholic priest, and had charge of a con gregation at TJuiontown and later at Wayuosburg. At the latter Dlace he was un frocked for irregularities in lb82. Dr. Rossman, his attending physician, was seen last evening, and stated that Prof. Her man's death was due to erysipelas and heart failure. When the Dbvsician wis first called in last Saturday the Pmfessor was suffering from tonsilitis. and erysinelas set in on Mon day. The last two days of his life." said the doc tor, "Miss Huber. a professional nurse and a friend of the Professor's, and Mr. Gould, a stu dent of mine, were In constant attendance, and Miss Huber was with bim when he died. A rumor tbat the professor committed suicide, or that he died nnattended, is false." The doctor also stated tbat there were strong symptoms of cerebritis, and tbat blood poison ing had set io. "His death was due to a complication of tbe diseases." continued the physician, "and to heart failure and exbaustion, caused by tbe ex ertion or making his will, which he was not in fit condition to do. When I discovered what had been done on my second visit, on Wednesday, I ordered tbe attendants not to permit any person to talk to tbe patient, and if anyone attempted to do so, to nave tbem re moved from the house, as it was very daneer ous to him and might cause his death." Miss Huber was seen at her residence, corner South Twenty-first and Jane streets, last evenintr, and corroborated Dr. Rossman's statement in re gard to her being presont when the professor died. A short time before be died bis pulse was strong, hut about i o'clock be began to sink rapidly, and passed away about 4:30 o'clock. i Said Miss Hnber: "I feel rather hurt at the report that the professor committed suicide, as it reflects on me personally, as a professional nnrse." Father McTighe stated last evening that the professor, shortly before bis death, bad re canted. and wished bis recantation made public upon his demise. He was then received back into the Church, and the last riles ot tbe Church were administered to him. BUNKO IN A SMALL WAY. A Faimer Thumped for Refusing to Give Up Ills Cash. J.

"Dorothy." has been well deserved will readily be understood after its first rendition in Pittsburg last even ing at the Grand Opera House by the Dull Opera'Company. The libretto is smootb, tbo 'hnmor is unctnous, the lyrics are fairly sing, able and the sitnations are amusing. Tbei story is -Martha" or "She Stoops to Conquer" reduced to an operatic form neither bouffe, comique not-comic, but comedy. It would be a pure dramatic comedv without the exquisita musical setting which Alfred Cellier bas pro vided. The forms of music in which this) brilliant rival of Sir Arthur Sullivan trains his fancy are direct and well considered. He evidently believe in making promiuent tbs melodious, and doe3not indulge in tbo usual smothering of arias by the gingerbread gyra tions of orchestral instruments which such comuosers as Millocker and Solomon deem, necc-sary to coverharinonic baldness. Messrs. Bassett. McLangblin and Bainbridtre all had excellent opportunities in vocalization, of which they tuok advantage. Mr. Mackay wis marvelously funny as a Sheriff's bailiff mixed up in society by tbe mutations of a Sheriff's writ upon an impecunious nobleman. He was perfect in his as sumption of a fashionable jag. Miss Maria Tempest was very graceful and sang with force and correct intonation, but her votes does not electrify except occasionally. The opera, however, is a rare prodnctot tbe modem school of writers, and is well worth both seeing and bearing. In parting, a word is ane Messrs, Duff and Wilt for costumes and accessories. A Curious Old Powder Horn. Victor C. Barnnger, of Pontiae.Miss..is usinc bis influence with his nncle.
