THE DINGLEY BILL
CANNOT BE PASSED
Senator Teller Makes Remarkable la.
si nuatioas.
IS NOT CERTAIN OF BRYAN'S DEFEAT
Mr. Allen llecomei Humorous and
Compares President Cleveland to
the Republican PartyThe House
W resiles t ith the Army Appropria
tion HillMr. tirow of Pennsyl
vania Participates in the Discus
sion Over the Hot Springs Hos
pital. Washington, Dee. 16. A very inter
esting and important discussion upon
Mr. Allen's resolution to take up the
Dlngley bill for consideration in the
senate was started today b" Mr. Vest,
of Missouri, and was participated in by
Senators, Allen, Chandley and Oalling
er, of New Hampshire; Frye and Hale,
Maine; Aldrich, Khole Island: Sher
man, of Ohio; Teller. Colorado, and
Oorman, Maryland. In the course of
the debate more than one allusion was
made to frauds and corruption at the
late presidential election, and Mr. Tel
ler remarked pointedly that he .was
not certain that ma candidate Mr.
Bryan had been defeated. Mr. Allen
questioned whether any difference
could be pointed out between the po
litical principles of the Republican
party and Mr. Cleveland.and said Joru
larly, that the president and the Re
publicans would have to be tagged In
order to enable a person to distinguish
one from the other. The upshot of the
debate was a complete acquiesence on
both sides of the chamber in the fact
that the Dingley bill could not possibly
be passed at the present session and
that the enactment of a new tariff bill
would have to go over to a new ses
sion of congress to be convened as
early as possible.
Prior to the tariff discussion the pen
sion appropriation bill was taken up
and passed.
The bill carries with It. exclusive of
other expenses, an appropriation for
pensions of $140,000,000.
HOl'SE SESSIONS.
The house today devoted nearly all
of u fear In. ' session to the army
appropriation -ill. in committee of the
whole. A great portion of the time was
spent In discussing a ruling of the
chairman of the committee (Mr. Hop
kins, of Illinois), that an amendment
to rut off trie Hot Springs hospital as
recommended by the surgeon general
and secretary of war, was out of order,
being a change of existing law. The
discussion was quite interesting,
Messrs. Dingley. Maine, Bailey, Texas;
Little. Arkansas; Grow, Pennsylvania;
Mull, Iowa; 1-Rcoy, Iowa. Cannon, Illi
nois, and ethers participating.
The question was important as af
fecting the power of the house, under
the rules, to limit, restrict or deline the
expenditure of money carried by an ap
propriation bill. On one point the com-mlttee-6!
to 53 sustained the chair
man, but later refused to sustain him
57 to SJ and the amendment cuttlnjr
out the hospital was agreed to. In the
house Mr. Little made the point of no
quorum on the vote adopting the
amendment, and none appearing on the
count by the speaker, the house at
4.19 o'clock adjourned until tomorrow.
In the morning hour Mr. Dalley, of
Texas, asked unanimous consent for
consideration of a resolution dlreelinir
th" committee on naval alTairi to in
vestigate the construction of the bat
tleship Texas, but it was referred to
the committee without action.
SERVANT QIRLS FORM A LEAGUE.
Organize in Sionx City for Pro
tection. Sioux City, Iowa. Dec. 16. A servant
girls' protective association is the lat
est production of Sioux City genius.
The organisation numbers among its
members nearly every domestic em
ployed in the city. It holds secret
meetings, requires members to furnish
reports of the treatment received from
mistresses and children in families
where they work, and forbids them
seeking employment at houses on the
society's blacklist.
In return it helps the unemployed to
places. Insures them good treatment
from employers and will demand the
payment of a regular standard of
wages.
Housekeepers have Just discovered
the society's existence and by way of
elf-defense will abandon the custom
formerly followed of hiring girls with
out requiring references.
. INCREASE IN WORKING FORCES.
Impetai Given the Grand Rapids
Fnrnitare Factories.
Grand Rapids, Mich., Dec. 16. The
furniture factories in this city are
employing more men now than at any
time In the last six months, and the
greatest increase of working force has
been made since election. The number
of men now employed is between 1.500
and 2.000 more than on Nov. 1. The
wages are the same as have been paid
the last three years.
When the business depression first
manifested Itself the furniture manu
facturers were especially hard hit. One
of the largest concerns went Into the
hands of a receiver, another was sold
under mortgages, and two others were
obliged to issue bonds to secure credit
ors. The wages of ordinary laborers
were not cut. but the higher classed ar
tisans suffered a cut of from 10 to 20
per cent. The cut has been equalised
in some particulars, but has not yet
been restored and will not be until
business improves permenantly.
Whether or not the increased work
ing forces will be kept on depends upon
business during the spring season,
which will open with the new year.
Retail furniture stocks all over the
country are very low, and it is expected
many buyers will be here to attend the
opening. The advices received are, as
a rule, favorable to large orders In
January.
TRACKMAN'S" GHASTLY FIND.
Badly Mangled Body of a Man Found
Lying on the Elevated ltond.
New York. Dec. 16. James Cully, a
trackman on the Ninth avenue elevat
ed railroad, was killed by a train early
this morning. His body was cut to
pieces. The remains were all picked up
except the face. This was missing. A
I re mu n subsequently found It. He
thought It "us that of a man who had
got drunk and had been covered by
the snow. His Instant thought was to
aid the man to get up. He stooped
down, to grasp the man's face. To
his horror there was no head. There
was nothing but the face. The eyes
were mifsing, the scalp, nose and chin
were intnc t.
He turned the ghastly find over to
the police. The man's face had been
cut off from the head by a wheel of the
engine that passed over him. It is
supposed the blinding snow storm pre-
inted Cully from seeing the train until
too late.

The reports of the secretary and

MARKETS AND STOCKS
Wall Street Review.
New York. Dec. 16. Stocks were Ir
regular during the early trading at the
Stock exchange, but in the main the
market showed more resistance than
on yesterday. The opening was steady
to firm and less attention was paid to
the Cuban question. Following the
opening there was an attack on Bur
lington and Quincy and Manhattan,
which resulted in a break of la2 per
cent. Burlington and Quincy got down
to 2, the lowest price for a long time
and Manhattan sold as low as 90, ex
dividend. The general list was ef
fected by rumors of probable exports
of gold In the week. During the late
dealings there was a decided change
for the better In stocks and a recov
ery of M to 2V per cent, ensued: Man
hattan rose 2, Sugar 1. Chicago Gas
1,4. Reading 1. St. Paul D4. Rock
Hand Hi. Burlington 1, General
Electric Hi, Louisville and Nashville
1. Speculation closed lirm in tone.
