VILAS MOUNTS PAGASUS In DImt night, of Oratory Ho Clothes Democracy In l ire tillt .Mr. Tillman Is Not Allowed to Ask Oucs tlons lloime Proceedings. Washlnjrton. Jan. 51. The end of the long debate In the senate on the house bond bill, with the il nance committee free colnugv substitute, was sighted to day, when a unanimous agreement was made that after an evening session to be devoted to clearing off belated speeches, a recess shall be taken till 11 a. in. tomorrow morning, and that then, after Mr. Morrill, of Vermont, shall have been heard, the discussion shall go on under the five-minute rule until 2 p. nv, when the final vote Is to be taken There wim very little difficulty In reaching the agreement the propo sition coming from Mr. Harris, of Ten nessee. Mr. Hill, of New York, stipu lated that the agreement should not preclude the offering of amendments or substitutes, or a motion to postpone In definitely, and Mr. Harris accepted the stipulation. . - There were three speeches made on the subject today. Sir. Vilas, of Wis consin, spoke for two hours and three quarters In opposition both to the bill nnd the substitute. He yielded to an Interruption from Mr. Mitchell, of Ore fron, who characterized the demand thnt the last Issue of bonds must be ; paid in gold after the syndicate had i obtained them at a lower price because I they were speclllcally made payable "In 1 coin," ns "a bunco game." Mr. Vilas declined, however, to let Mr. Tillman, of South Carolina, divert him from his argument by questions. He closed with an eulogium on the Democratic party, "yielding neither to the reactionary forces of old absolutism, nor to the lurid fires of anarchy." The other two speeches were In sup port of the free coinage substitutes. They were made by Senator Bute, of Tennessee, and Pasco, of Florida. Ilon.e Proceeding. The house today In committee of the whole entered upon the consideration of the bill making appropriations for the District of Columbia for the year ending June 30, 1R7. Much of the time was spent In discussing the provision reKrted by the committee for opening to competition the gas and electric lighting of the city of V. ashlngton, eacji of which Is now. It wa.l asserted, prac tically a monopoly. Objection was made to the provision on the ground that it changed existing law and there fore had no place on appropriation bills, such provlslon.il should be made In a separate bill. The chairmnn of the committee of the whole, Mr. Payne, Rep., N. Y.), ruled that the provision was a change of existing law and It was stricken out. . Hills Panned- The following were passed earlier in the day: Bills extending until February, 1898, the period within which the St. Law rence Railroad company may bridge the river at St. Lawrence; authorizing the secretary of the treasury to ex clude from the operations of the Inter nal revenue law. except as to the pay ment of tuxes, brandies made from all fruits, as well as that made from ap ples, peaches, or grapes, as provided In the present tariff law; changing the time of holding district and circuit courts In the northern division of the eastern district of Tennessee; joint resolutions to permit the society for Christian Endeavor to use White lot Just south of the White house during Its national convention in Washington next July; authorizing the secretary of the navy to appoint naval cadets Ryan, Morris and Wells as assistant engineers.

Democrat) upon the unanimous report of the com mittee on elections number 3. Mr. Rosenthal did not avail himself of the privilege accorded him yesterday of addressing the house for an hour In his own behalf. The Evening Session. When the senate resumed Its session this evening the attendance was quite small. Mr. Vbm'O. of Florida, resumed his speech where he had left oft" at the close of the afternoon session and con tinued to the enit, which was reached at 8.03. Mr. Pnlmer, of Illinois, gave notice of an amendment declaring It to be the policy of the I'nlted States to maintain the parity between the gold and silver dollars and to maintain the equal powpr of both gtjld and silver In the markets and In the payment of debts; and It di rects the secretary of the treasury to exercise the discretion vested In him so as in his Judgment to better advance and promote the ollcy thus declared. Mr. Caffrey, of Ixiulsianu, addressed the senate In opposition to the free coinage substitute. Mr. White, of California, supported the free coinage substitute. VAt the close V Mr. White's speech the senate at 10 p. m. took a recess un til 11 a. m. tomorrow.

One hundred and fifty guests had assembled at the home of Albert H. Baker, near this city, tonight to attend the wedding of Baker's daughter. Just as the cere mony was about to begin the floor sud denly gave way, precipitating about seventy-five is-rsons into the cellar, a distance of ten feet. Fortunately the lamp was extinguished, but candles set Are to the clothing of some of the women and a panic ensued. The people were piled four and live deep, and It was some time before the fire was ex tinguished and the guests extricated from the cellar. Mrs. . N. Norton was fatally In jured, and William Arnoud and Will lam Starr were badly hurt, while many others received less serious Injuries. yale mm wHIfled. Yonng Verrill Purloins from the (!:o graphical and Zooloslcol ' Collection Articles Worth SI 0,000. New Haven, Conn., Jan. 31 A sensa tion waBcreated In New Haven this afternoon when It was discovered that thefts amounting to $10,000, and prob ably much more, have been made from the Peabody museum of Yale univer sity, and that the thief Is a son of Ad dison E. Verrill, professor of zoology and curator of the xoologlcul collection of the university. The thefts have extended over a con siderable period of time, and the exact amount of them will probably never he known, as the young man who took the exhibits and relics from the mu seum has forgotten the exact number of pieces that he took. The thefts cov er a period of at least two years, nnd, although the fact that valuable potter ies, specimens of minerals and arrow heads were missing was known to those at the head of the museum, no com plaint was made until about a month ago. Then Othnlel C. Marsh, profes sor of palcntolosy and curator of the geological collection, and Professor Ad dison E. Verrill, curator of the zoo logical collection, the two hearts of the museum, laid the matter before the police, saying that they had been un able to solve the mystery. The detec tives were not long In deciding that the. thief was some one who. had. keys to the cases containln the collection, and they soon suspected young Verrl.l. Ills .Mcndacltt Proved. The son was taken before his father and Professor Marsh, but he firmly de nied all knowledge of the thefts. That same evening a defective searched the home of the young man and found a large quantity of very valuable pottery there, which at once fixed the robbery upon him. He confessed when con fronted with this evidence, gave up all that he had In his home belonging to the museum, and also furnished the descriptions of the relics and addresses Of all the dealers to whom he remem bered having disposed of his thefts. This Information made a long list. Including curio dealers In this country and abroad, but It was Incomplete, as the thief could not lemember all the transactions. Sltice then the police and the authorities of the museum have been busy ifi'recovrrlng the stolen property. About $10,000 worth has al ready been returned, and as Professor Maish says, the, .museum will not lose a dollar In the end. It is presumed that Verriil's father has made good the wrong-doings of his son. Albert H. Verrill resides at 1 Carmel street. He is the eldest son of profes sor Verrill, one of the stanchest and most respected members of the Yule faculty. Young Verrill Is about 23 years of age and graduated from the university In the class of '9.1. He was always an eccentric sort of n hoy, but after graduating became an assistant to his father. Married Itclnw III Station. He soon fell In love with a girl named McCarthy, who was much below . his station in life, and who was objected to for this reason by his family. De spite this fact, he munied her. This ostracised him. and he went Into tha taxidermy business In Orange street. He Is a bright fellow, and his good work soon won again for him his father's favor, and the latter aided him In his work, sending him all over the coun try In search of rare specimens for his skill. v In this work Professor Verrill al lowed nls son free access sto the cases of the museum, and thus the young man committed the thefts. For more than a year Verrill robbed the cases un der the very eyes of those In charge. He knew that he was not watched, and he took his pick of the collections, which, altogether, are the rarest and most valuable In the world. In some, instances substitutes, which were noth ing more than cheap Imitations, were put In place of the original articles. No arrest has been made and none is likely to be made. Professor Marsh has done eveiything In his power to keep the story front the public, not only on the ground that It would bring grief to- the professor and Mrs. Verrill, hut also because the authorities of tne museum fear that it will Injure the museum by keeping persons from de positing collections here.

INDICATIONS ARE HOPEFUL Signs of Definite Improvement in business. A GLIMPSE OP THE SITUATION .Money Markets Arc Easier-Signs in the Iron and Steel Trade Are Gratifying. Wheat Advances and Railroad Famines Are on the Increase. New York, Jan. 31. R. O. Dun A Co. tomorrow In their Weekly Review of Trade will say: Failures In three weeks of January show liabilities of 117,836,511. against 110,881.060 last year; In manufacturing $6.601. 129 this year against $2,479,193 last year; In trading $10,317,360 against S. 163.267 last year. Failures this week have been 404 In the I'nlted States against 354 last year, and 70 In Canada against M lust year. Though business la still waiting, there are some signs of definite improve ments. It Is now believed that the first payment for bonds.yrill cause no fur ther pressure atfti the money markets arc easier as respects loans on eallater al, though the difficulty of making com mercial loans still check operations. But large maturities at the end of Janu ary have been met more satisfactory than was expected, and merchants and bankers report that the signs promise a good spring trade. No Increase ap pears as yet- In demand for the princi pal products, unless for some forms of Iron and steel, In which good contracts have been made thin Week. Domestic trades recorded through clearing houses are 6.5 percent. smaller than n year ago. Improvement In Iron. Signs of Improvement In the Iron and stt'cl business are gratifying even though they spring; from combinations which have raised the price of coke and allotted the output of lake Iron ore. A contract for 2.000 ton of rails, pacific delivery, taken by an eastern concern In competition with foreign makers, a contract for 8.000 tons plates for the Kast Jersey water works, contracts for 4.0HO tons cast pipe at $19. Ill, taken by Alabama works with contracts for the commercial cable and other build ings here covering ;t.."00 tons are the main features, but there is also a better demand for wire nails after long stag nation and nlso for sheets. Pig Iron Is rather weaker, southern works com peting sharply, while speculative buy ers of some months ago are selling below present furnace prices, but the average for ull products Is practically unchanged and 11.4 per cent, below the highest last year. The cotton mills are discussing cur tailment of production, as goods con tinue weak with an outmit largely ex- I ceedlng distribution, though the Week has brought considerably more In quiiles, and a largo, "firing trade Is still hoped for. Wooh-ns ate practiealfy unchanged. Hales of wool at the three chief markets have diminished of late, manufacturet . buying only for present needs. An Advance In Wheat. Wheat has again advanced about 3 cents for cash, but only I'j for May, although Atlantic exports are little lar ger than a year ago, neither this fact nor the continued excess of western receipts explain an advance for which the basis or the excuse must be sought In foreign reports. Com has ceased to "sympathize" and records little ad vance. Cotton Is a shade lower than a week ago, notwithstanding strong ar guments by Neill and others, but re ceipts from plants go on at nearly the same rate, spinners takings fall be hind tast year as before and the mar keting of goods does not support the brilliant estimates of Increased con sumption this year. Exports in Janu ary have been AO per cent, less, spinners taking 35 per cent, less and receipts from plantations 39 per cent, less than laHt year, receipts have been larger, but spinners takings and exports bo'th smaller than In 1892-91 from a crop of 6,700,000 bales. The earnings of railroads In three weeks of January were 9.9 per cent, larger than last year. The stock mar ket has been lifted by these returns and hopeful monetary conditions so thnt the average for railroad stocks is $1.84 per share, and for trusts $1.8t per share higher than a week ago. .The expectation of an anthracite settle ment has been a powerful factor, and It is generally supposed that prices will rise after the bonds settlement. l'ETTIBONK MINE FIRE. , All the .Males Are Drought to the Surface in safer. WIlkes-Barte, Pa., Jan. 31. The fire In the Pettibone mine, caused by an ex plosion of gas yesterday. Is now ron fincd to the old working or chambers In the mine. All the mules, thirty-four In number, were brought to the surface late this afternoon and preparations will a. once be made to flood the pit unless the fire can be reached with a heavy force of water from the mine hose. The spot where the flames are raging is a dangerous one, as there have been numerous cave-Ins theic of late. The officials say that If they can re move the debris with saety by mid night, they will have full control of the tlames by tomorrow morning. At 11 o'clock tonight three massive pumps Inside the facing of the mine are forcing large volumes of water on the burning coal and a large gang of men are lighting the flames. In spite of all they are doing the fire has reached tho .new workings and apears to be gaining headway. The roof in a por tion of the old chambers Is falling In large quantities, so much so that it se riously interferes with the work of the men. The miners Injured yesterday are all able to be about their homes tonight with the exception of Inside Foreman Phillips, who was burned more seriously tnanany of the others. REVELATION IN TIN PLATE.

Is compiling some Important facts regarding the tin plate Industry of Pennsylvania. The Impor tance and extet of this In this com monwealth alonp are not generally real ized. It seems that there Is thirty three tin plate establishments la Utla state, but all of them are not manufac turers of the "black plate." As to these plants It Is a remarkable fact regard ing their location and distribution that they are just about equally distributed over the eastern and western portions of the state, eighteen being found west of tha Alleghenies and fifteen east of them. The forthcoming- pamphlet on tin plate will be In the nature of a revela tion In this line to the general public, and will be one of the most important contributions to tin plate literature yet made. ARMENIAN KhSOLlTlOXS, The President and Ilia Advisors M Not See 1 heir W ay Clear to comply with the Wishes of Congress. Washington, Jan. 31 There la reason to believe that the request made In the Armenian resolutions adopted by the senate and house, that a copy of these resolutions be transmitted to the six treaty powers of Kuroiie, does not meet with the favor of the administration. The resolutions declare that "It is an imperative duty In the Interest of Im munity to express the earnest hope that the Kuropean concert may speed ily J)e given Its just effects In such decisive measures as shall stay the hand a fanaticism and lawless vio lence." The president and the secretary of state have obtained the views of sev eral prominent persons on the propri ety of tratiMiilltliifr such u request and It Is said that the government of the I'nlted States will have exceeded Its International fime tlons should the sug gestion of the senate and the house be acceded to. The question came up nt the cabinet meeting today and It Is understood that the president and his ndvlsors do not h- their way clear to comply with the wishes of congress in tho manner In which action Is asked. The matter, however. Is said to be still in abeyance. STANDARD'S NEW MOVE, Humors Thnt the Dig Trust Will Organize u n Corporation. Pittsburg. Pn Jan. 31.

THE REVOLUTION IN CUBA General Marin Starts on the Trail of the Insurgents. A SPANISH PRESS OPINION Tho Mario IH l.a .Marlnaux Calls the Kchels lot of Criminals. Who Steal, Kob and - Murder , I'resiJcnt Pa I mo Speuks. Havana, Jan. 31. General Marin, th acting captain gtfiieral of the Spunish forces here, who left this city yesterday with his staff and a number of promi nent merchants and clerks familiar with the province of Pliiar del Rio, who will act as scouts, reached San Antonio de los Hanos and made his headquarters there last nigrtit. He has with him a de tachment of cavalry, and hopes to Btienglhen It considerably before en gaging tlomez, who Is still understood to be trying- to effect a junction with the Insurgent forees under Muceo. Very little news was obtainable this morn ing, as wire communication with tho front was Interrupted. Spanish offi cers here say that an Important engage ment will be fought before General Marin returns to Havana. New York. Jan. 31. President Palma, of the Cuban revolutionists, suld today that the report to the effect that Oen eral Clan-la had left the city was false. At the meeting reported to have taken plu.ee at the AMor house yesterday, H was said that President Palma had of fered his resignation as leader of tne revolutionary cause. President Palma today requested thut the following statement be mude: "I desl"'e it to be understood that I have no Idea of resigning. The revolu tionary cause was never In a better po sition tliun it Is at present. While I am not In a position to speak of the meeting held yesterday. I may say that the Btorles to the effect that new ex peditions are being fitted out are un true." Spanish Press Opinion. Havana, Jan. 31. The Dlarlo De La Marlnaux In an article on the Sugges tion of I'nlted States Interference in behalf of the Insurgents says: "The hones of the separatists will be once more defeated, because telegrams received from Madrid say that the con ference held between the I'nlted States minister to Spain and the Spanish cab inet has been most satisfactory. It Is to be hoped so because the Insurgents cannot pretend to have the rights thnt are reserved to the cause of justice, or at least to the cause of dignity and honor. The rebels are only a lot of criminals who burn, steal, rob and tnurdiT. What do the negroes com prising the hand under Maceo and the rutrcats commanded by robbers like Mirabel and Delgado understand about patriotism and poetical Ideas. If the I'nlted States were to recognize such people ns belligerents, crime would bo legitimatized andtlie right to burn, violate and steal recognised. It la ab surd to think that the I'nlted States would encou.-aRC such atrocities, but should such a thing happen, the I'nlted States would have more to lose than Spain would because the latter has de cided to resort to everything before al lowing burbarisin to reign ui Cuba." MR. It UNION'S SUCCESSOR. Secretary Olney Declines to UlsetisV Mr. , Pcknv's Chnncc. Washington, Jan. 31. Secretary Ol rjey declined to discuss the dlbpach to a Berlin newspaper purporting- to have emunated from Washington to the ef fect that the consul general, Charles tiekay, has been selected to fill Am bassador Kunyon's position. The state ment of the local Herman paper Is, how ever, regarded as entirely of home manufacture. Mr. Dekay was appoint ed consul general to Berlin from New York July HO. 1894. There is nothing known at the state department to Indi cate a likelihood of his being raised to the rank of ambassador He is not even in charge of diplomatic affairs In Berlin. John B.
