EIGHT PAGES 5G COLUMNS. SCRAOTCHST, PA., MONDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 4, 1895. TWO CENTS A COPY. FOES OF CUON ACTIVE They Have Made Overtures to Dave Martin to Join Them. BLOW AT PULLMAN MONOPOLY Sir. Starkcy's Measure Re-Introduced. The Widow of tho Well-Known Sculp tor Desires an Appropriation to Complete Strength and llcuuty. Special to the Sorunton Tribune. Harrlsburg, Pa., Feb. 3. The foes of Senator Cameron see In 'Mie break be tween Senator Quay and David Martin a chance to prevent Cameron's return to the United States senate in 1897. They have been quick to take advan tage of 'this and have made overtures to Martin to join 'them. In return for his support they have promised to support the Phlladelphlan In his efforts to re tain the political prestige of whldh his opponents seek to rob him. The anti Cameron leaders believe their compact with Martin will be mutually helpful to Imth parties. The desire of the opposition to Sena tor Cameron to make good thvlr part of the bargain is shown by the support which Senators Baker, of Delaware, and Kauffman, of Lancaster, pro nounced opponents of the United States senator, gave Martin In opioslng by voice and vote Senator Porter's bill to decrease the number of councllmen In Philadelphia. Martin was as much in terested in the success of this measure as was Senator Porter, and Its disas trous defeat was as almost as great a rebuke to him as the gentleman who Introduced it. They Want a Phlladelphlan. The opponents of Senator Cameron have decided to select Charles Emory Smith, of the Philadelphia Press, Dis trict Attorney Oraiiam, or some other distinguished Phlladelphlan of promi nence and ability as their candidate for the United States senate and with the assistance of Martin and Porter they hope to secure the biggest end of the Philadelphia delegation in the next leg islature. An aggressive fight will be made against Cameron, especially In Lancaster county, under the lead of Senator Kauffman, who was nominated for the se-nate by the Republicans of ttiat county last summer on the anti Cameron Issue. In every legislative dis trict in the state the anti-Cameronites will put up candidates. Senator Porter breathes easier; Sena tor Penrose, and other of his political enemies in the senate, have concluded to let up on him. Many of them are opposed, however, to bill abolishing sectional school boards in Philadelphia and creating a department of educa tion; not on political grounds, but be cause they believe the majority of the people of the Quaker City are satisfied wltih the present system. Senator Penrose and his friends will hereafter consider Senator Porter's bills on their merit and if they can. convinced there is a popular seniln. at for them they will vote for them. Penrose and his followers are in control of both branches of the legislature and can defeat any bill which Senator Porter or ihls adherents advocate. Chief Clerk Fetterolf, of tho house of representatives, has appointed John I. Glisson, of Eridgport, custodian of the 'house supply room. This Is an other of the new places created by the present legislature for which there is no regular appropriation. Mr. Glisson Is paid out of the contingent fund. Anti-Pullman Legislation. A bill aimed at the Pullman sleeping car monoply will be read the first time In the house tomorrow evening. It wan Introduced by Representative Bliss, of Delaware, and fixes the rate of fare at 2 cents a mile for 100 miles, and a third of a cent for every additional mile. It prohibits the lowering of an upper berth unless sold makes It unlawful to sell Intoxicating liquors on board the cars, and prohibits the steward, con ductor or porter from receiving tips. A bill Introduced In the senate by Mr. Coyle, of Schuylkill, requires that a license of $100 must be paid for each buffet or dining car handled through the state on which intoxicating liquors are sold. The license must be posted In a prominent place In the car. The penalty is $300. or sixty days In jail, or both. The present legislature Is far In ad vance of that of two years ago In Its work. From this It would seem to Indi cate that the session will be a short one. The first bill to reach the gover nor two years ago was on March This session the first bill was received by Governor Hastings on Jan. 30, and was approved the same day. It was a measure allowing the city councils of Pittsburg to compromise with the hold era of certain railroad bonds. The gov ernor received two bills last week, and before the close of the current week ho will have received nine or ten more. There have already been introduced In the present session over 1,000 bills, one half of which have been disposed of by committee. iMartin Has a Candidate. David Martin and his friends are quietly urging the appointment by governor Hastings of William M Geary, a member of common council from the Nineteenth ward, as recorder of deeds for the unexpired term of the late Recorder Green. Geary was form erly president of the anti-Condon club, one of the strongest political organlza tlons In Philadelphia, and is a loyal supporter of Martin. The governor will wait until after the mayoralty campaign before he takes up the ques tlon of the eligibility of Recorder Cur. ley, who was appointed by Governor Pattlson to serve out the unexpired term of the late recorder. V Chairman Robinson, of the Luzerne county Republican committee, was at the state capital last week In confer ence with Governor Hastings and mem vbert of the cabinet seeking recognl tlon for the party workers In the county In the way of appointments. The legis lative delegation from Luzerne Is dl Vlded on a number of aspirants for place, but the chairman expects to In duce the senators and representatives to get together and agree on an aunll cant In order that the county shall not , lose the appointment which, he has been assurred by the appointing power, united action will bring.

At 10 o'clock this morning an object 10 feet high and 250 feet long, resembling the hull of the Ill fated Chlcora, was discovered off South Chicago lying between two large ice floes. The hull was floating south, and the life saving crew were dispatched to follow It along the Indiana shore. Tugs were also sent from Chicago. At 5.30 p. m. Agent Van Sickle, of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad, at Whiting, Ind., saw the hull float by two miles from shore. Besides the hull was a raft on which fifteen or twenty men could be seen. It is believed that the reason why the boats have not returned or reported Is that they are at work and have suc ceeded In getting a tug boat started through the ice. The relief train sent out over the Baltimore and Ohio returned to South Chicago. They 'located the wreck about two miles off Wihltlng, Ind., where It has been stationary since 4 p. m. Owing to the darkness It 'Is Impossible to make any attempt to reach the wreck from shore, but two boats which had gone from Chicago, probably the Calumet and steamer Ludlngton, were fighting their way through, the 4ce from the out side toward the wreck. If they suc ceed In reaching It tonight and rescuing any survivors, they will probably re turn to Chicago, as all other harbors are closed with ice. Chicago, Feb. 4.

LIVELY WEEK JN CONGRESS Questions That Will Provoke a Fusi- lade of Oratory . ANOTHER TALK OYER HAWAII Programme for the Week Promises Any thing but Actual Business Democ racy Uopelessly Divided in the Senate-Financial Problems. By tho United Press. Washington, Feb. 2. The Fifty-third congress enters tomorrow -upon the last four weelii of Its session. In both sen ate and house the few working days now remaining before final adjourn ment are likely to be crowded with striking Incidents and exciting debates on topics, any one of which may pro duce a dead lock and compel the cull ing of the Fifty-fourth congress In ses sion. -Earnest efforts are being made by the administration leaders to avoid this contingency. The situation, how ever, Is rendered much less favorable than It was at the beginning of the session, by the fact that the Democrats have practically lost control of tho senate and are so divided on financial Issues in the house us to be practically in a minority in that chamber upon many of the leading questions at Issue. The senate tomorrow, by agreement, will take a vote upon the District of Columbia appropriation bill, a perfectly Inoffensive measure of local adminis tration which, in previous years, has usually been passed as rapidly as It could be read, but which this year has occupied the attention of the senate for three days, notwithstanding indignant denials that any dilatory tactics were contemplated on this measure. Much more Important than the vote on this bill will be the debate which will be sprung tomorrow In the morn ing hour on the motion of Senator Mc pherson, of New Jersey, to discharge the finance committee from the further consideration of the bill Introduced by Mr. Sherman for the relief of the treas ury. Mr. McPherson will speak to the resolution himself, and Mr. Peffer has a prepared speech on the general sub Ject which he has been anxious to de liver for several days. Another Hawaiian Wrangle. When the diplomatic and consular appropriation bill is called up early in the week a still animated political debate is in prospect. The whole Ha- wallun question will come up and, it is expected, that -with the accessions given to the opponents of the adminis tration by the arrival of Senators Man tle and Clark, of Montana, the action of the senate last week, when, by a majority of two votes, it adopted the Vest substitute upholding the policy of non-intervention In Hawaii, will be reversed. This substitute ha3 never been acted upon as a finality, but Is still pending as an amendment to the origlnul resolution, which condemned the action of the administration and declared It to be the sense of the senate that a war ship should be kept at Honolulu. The appropriation recommended to be added to- the bill by the senate com mittee on appropriations for the con struction of an American cable to Ha waii, which Indirectly conflicts with the recommendations of -the president In his recent message as to the landing place of Hawaii cables, will necessarily provoke further debate. This amend ment appropriates $500,000 and author izes the president to contract for the entire work of laying a telegraphic cable between the United States and the Hawaiian Islands, and to direct the prosecution of such work whenever such contract shall be made. This will be followed by another partisan de bate on the amendment, also recom mended by the senate committee on ap propriations to appropriate $6,000 for the execution of the obligations of the United States In the protection of the interests and property of the United States in the Samoan islands, under the existing treaty with the govern ment of those Islands and with the governments of Germany and Great Britain. Here again the recommenda tions of Secretary Gresham are antag onized. Senators Aldrlch, Hawley, Lodge, Hoar, Chandler, Allison, Teller, and Piatt propose to tako part In the debate on the Hawaiian resolutions and possibly on the Samoan question. What Mr. Allen Threatens Mr. Allen Is liable at any time to pre cipitate another partisan debate on n privilege question by calling up his resolution to Investigate the recent election of a senator In Alabama. The so-called credentials of Colonel Reese, Senator Morgan's Populist opponent, having been Introduced and placed on file, it Is within the limits of possibility that Mr. Allen may get the united Re publican support for his resolution which directs the appointment of a committee with full power to investi gate and report to the senate. The probable programme of business In the house Is this: Monday will be given to the consideration of what Is known as the "omnibus claim bill," being a measure reported from tho committee on war clulms, combining thirty-seven separate war claims re ferred to that committee, and calling for a total appropriation of over $600, 000. Consideration of the measure has always heretofore been antagonized. Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday are to be assigned to the consideration and disposition of the latest currency and banking bill reported on Friday last from Mr. Springer's banking and cur rency commltttee.

The Paris Mob Turns Out to Welcome th Exile. By the United Press. Paris, Feb. 3. All military and offi cial Paris attended today the funeral of Marshal Canrobert. The ceremonies were the same as at the state funeral of Marshal McMahon, almost a year and a half agot but the crowds in the Streets were smaller and the signs of mourning less numerous among the people. The crowd that came out to see the last honors paid to the last marshal of France was much smaller than the gathering at the railway station where Henry Roohefort was welcomed home from his years of exile in England. The whole Paris mob seemed packed in the open square. In it were all the socialist deputies and the socialist revolutionary societies bad brought out their last man, and stood in. solid phalanx close to the station entrance. It Is estimated that 200,000 persons stood In the streets while thousands more looked down from windows and roofs. The speeches of welcome and replies lasted more than an hour, dur ing which the throng cheered incessant ly. The enthuslusm surpassed any thing seen here since the Russian naval officers departed, but there was no dis order and no arrests. RAIL MAKING INDUSTRY.
