    GENERAL NEWS.
The Date George W. ( hi Ids.
PHILADELPHIA, Feb. (>.— Go. w. Chiles, J
the great journalist and philanthropist,
died last Saturday, and the funeral was i
held to-day. Among hundreds oi sympa- j
thetic messages were the following:
President Cleveland—"Our household
lament the death of a true friend, and!
we extend to you our sincere sympathy j
and condolence in this hour of crushing .
bereavements."
Ex-President Harrison —"The death of
Mr. Childs will bring sorrow to a large
circle of friends and to many who never
saw his kindly face, for lie has blessed
many such. You have my warmest sym
pathy in this sorrow, the depth of which
you only know."
Mrs. U. IS. Grant—"Y ur bereav ment
is indeed mine, for my last old friend is |
gone. I, w.th my family, here, unite
in sorrowful sympathy with you."
Gov. Pattison of Pennsylvania -'T j
have received with such sorrow the sad
news of the death of Mr. Childs. His 1
whole purpose in life was given to doing ,
good to mankind. Accept by heartfelt

my deepest sympathy in your great af
fliction."
Atlanta's Oft or to the G. A. It, May
Ho Accepted,
ATLANTA, Ga., Feb. 5 —The Constitu
tion publishes letters from many prom
inent editors of leading papers, republican
and democrat's, in the north and west,
most heartily approving the invitation
which hus been extended by the city of
Atlauta to the Grand Army of the He
public to hold its annual reunion in 1895
in this city. The expressions are unani
mously in favor of the idea, and all com
meat on the fitness of holding a reunion
of the Grand Army at the great center of
the battlefield of the south before the
ranks of die Grand Army become
thinned by age and death.
Hearty letters of endorsement of the
suggestion have been received from
Murat Halstead, of the Brooklyn Stand
ard Union; Frank Hatton, of the Wash
ington Post; Col. Cowardin, of the Rich
mond Despatch, and many others.
The communications are all enthusias
tic and show the unanimity with which
the idea has been adopted by the men
who represent Grand Army sentiment on
the question. Mr. Halstead, in speaking
of the invitation, says: "I fancy the in
vitation will bo accepted as heartily as it
is given. It is a fortunate and splendid
idea. The interest in such au encamp
ment would ho unparalleled. So far as I
have been able to consult the veterans
they feel greatly attracted by Atlanta's
invitation. If you do not want 2)0,030 of
them down there again you ha I better
not continue to urge them to come."
Mr. Hatton, of the Post, says: "It
would bp an innovation upon past prece
dents, but there is no reason why the inno
vation should not he made. It is the
Grand Army of the Republic, is it not?
Then why should they confine their en
campment to any particular geographi
cal section? A second invasion of the
south in the name of peace and brother
hood would be an event in Grand Army
annals worthy of immortal commemora
tion and honor."
M<<l tlle-Weig ht C liumphmship.
BOSTON, Feb. s.—An important piece of
sporting news relating to the middle
weight championship of America has just
come to light. It appears that when Dick
Moore issued his challenge to fight uny
middle-weight in America it opened up
negotiations with Col. John D. Hopkins
on behalf of Dan Creedon, who was then
with Jim Corbett in Florida. These ne
gotiations ended in a match being made
a week ago between Moore ari l Cr edon.
It was decided to keep tko matter quiet
until a place of meeting was found. Th s
Las now been done and the men will meet
In Boston, it is said, inside of three
weeks. A well-known Boston sporting
man weut to New York to meet Col. Hop
kins and to settle all the details. The
meeting between this pair of middle
weights will settle the question as to
which of them shall be considered the
American champion in his class.
Louisiana Lottery Bobs Up.
WASHINGTON, Feb. s.—Tlie alleged at
tempt to re-establish the Louisiana Lot
tery, under a nominal Honduras charter,
at Port Tampa city, Fla., was not un
known to Senator Pasce, who has been
interesting himself in the subject for the
past few days and looking into the law
with the end in view of doing all he can
to remove the evil from the state. If
there is not sufficient power in his own
state, Mr. Pasce says, ho will bring the
matter before congress.
Harvard Wants a Captain.
BOSTON, Feb. o.—The Harvard athletic
committee has refused to ratify the re
election of I). C. Waters, '94, as captain
of the eleven for next year. This was
just what everybody expected, for only a
few days ago the committee otilcially an
nounced that it diil not propose to con
lirm the election of any graduate to be
captain of a Harvard university team. It
confirmed the election of Wiggin on the
nine because there was absolutely nobody
else to take the place, at least nobody
who could make a good cautain.
The Austin Case Settled
NEW YORK, Feb. o.—The action of the
executor of John (\ Austin to recover the
insurance on his life in which a jury ren
dered a verdict for the full amount
claimed against the Mutual Reserve Fund j
life association, has been settled out of
court and the executor paid. The claim
was to have come up before Justice Pat
terson of the supreme court on a motion
for a now trial. The compiny had a
number of technical objections to make
to the alleged noncompliance of the Aus
tin family with some of the piovisions of
the contract as to proof of death. Tho
company contendod all through the case,
which was one of the most interesting in
the courts, that Austin was stili alive,
and they produced a number of Adiron
dack guides who said they had seeu him
after it was alleged that he had beeu
drowued ut Muuhattan Beach.

WASHINGTON.
Wilson Hill Passed.
WASHINGTON. Feb. 2.—Probably never
before in the history of congress were
there witnessed such scenes as marked
the close of the great tariff debate in the
house. The galleries were packed with
an audience whose enthusiasm at times,
while the great and final speech-making
was in progress, interrupted the proceed
ings on the floor, and caused the chair, on
several occasions, to restore order. The
trio of brilliant lights of the house, ex- j
Speak'-r Heed, Speaker Crisp and Chair
man Wilson, who were assigned the
duty of presenting the final arguments,
are the recipients to-duy of much flatter
ing congratulation on their masterly
<ff rts. Chairman Wilson, in particular,
who has barely had time to s -cure the
sleep necessary to keep life in his body for
the past few weeks, is the lion of the hour
among his colleagues, and even those who
were bitterly opposed to the measure just
passed, admit that he is deserving of much
credit from his party.
At the conclusion of Mr. Wilson's
speech there was enacted a scene of wild
j enthusiasm such as has never before been
1 witnessed in the house within the mem
-1 ory of the oldest member. The applause
, which broke out at frequent intervals
! during the speech overleaped all bounds
i when Mr. Wilson tried to take his seat,
i Cheer after cheer rang out again and
I again, men threw their hats and papers
i in the air nud the women their handker
chiefs. Breckinridge, of Arkansas, em
| braced the speaker, and a crowd of de-
J monstrative admirers, headed by Mr.
Bryan, of Nebraska, and Mr. Tucker, of
Virginia, raised Mr. Wilson upon their
shoulders and carried him in triumph
; out of the hall and to his committee
. rooms.
i Amid the din and coufusion of the
house the speaker announced that debate
was closed, and that pursuant to the
J special order the house would vote upon
j the amendments, lie announced that
| the vote would first be taken on Mr.
I Tawney's amendment raising the
; duty on barley from 20 per cent,
to 22 cents per bushel, and on
1 malt from 30 per cent, to 32 cents per
i bushel. Deleated, yeas, 120; nays, 107.
! Mr. Wilson's amendment raising the
duty ou barley from 20 per cent, to 25 per

I publicans voted yea.
i With the exception of these five votes
j and those of Muss., Powers, Vt.,
and Scrnnton, l'a., who voted against the
internal revenue amendment, the repub
licans refrained from voting on this prop
i osition.
The amendments in committee having
all been agreed to in the house, the ques
tion was upon the engrossing and third
reading of the bill, and it was agreed to.
Mr. Covert, dem., N. Y., offered a reso
lution of recommittal and on this de
manded the previous question. This was
, ordered without division, but Covert de-
I mauded the yeas nnd nays but this de
i uiand wus voted down, ayes 80, noes 22T,

j The speukcr then put the question
j "Shall the bill pass," uud the yeas aud
( nays being demanded on this, the roll
was called amidst the most intense inter
est ou the tluor and in the galleries. As
the names of the doubtful democrats were
reached and they voted "Aye" or "No"

tured bantering followed their votes. Tho
I greatest applause followed Mr. Cockrau's

PROOF OK RKTIt ACTION.
Mr. Wulkei-'s Remands on Chair
man Wilson.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 7. Hepreseutative
Walker, of Massachusetts, has addressed
an open let ter to Hon. W ilium L. Wilson,
of West Virgin a. chairman of the ways
and means committee, relating to remarks
made by .Mr. W Ism in his speech of Jan.
9, last, which was withheld from the
record until Jan. :. ; 5, for rev.sion, in which j
Mr. Wilson stated that the laboring men !
who signed the petitions against the !
Wilson bill were coerced and bulldozad.
Mr. Walker says that the withholding of
the speech deprived him of the uppor- j
tunity to answer the assertions on the floor
of the house and the only means lelt him i
do so was by opeu letter.
Mr. Wa'ker states that as a representa
tive in part of Massachusetts, the manu
facturers and employes i i which are
criticised and included in Mr. Wilsm's
remarks, and in their behalf, and in be
half of all the manufacturers in the uorth
who are members with him of various
| busine.-s organizations, and more espe
| daily the wage earners who petitioned
i Mr. Wilson, he deuies in whole and in
part the statements made. "I pronounce
each and all o them as unqualifiedly
untrue." Mr. Walker asks for the pr-of
to be made public to sustain the assertion,
lie not only pronounces them untrue but
says that they were de-iberntely made by
Mr. Wilson, to his own discredit, to break
the force of, and destroy the rightful and
legitimate influence of the petitions of
the wage workers employed in manufac
turing industries, then being preseuted to
the house. "I demand, that you prove
the charges that you have made aga list
the wage workers and mauuiactur rs, to
which I hereby call your attention, or
withdraw thein."
Speaking of the statement made by Mr.
Wilson in his speech that lie had received
letters from numerous workmen stating
that they were forced to sign their pro
tests and begging him not believe they
were made in earnest, and that he
thought it his duty to protect the writers
of the letters, by withholding names, Mr.
j Walkjr says that siien an assumption is
I wholly unwarranted,
j In conclusion Mr. Walker says: "I call
■ your atteution to the wholesome rule of
al l fair conduct in conducting any quest
lor truth, viz., not to base charges upon
facts one is not at liberty to fully disclose.
Such subterfuges argue a weak cause and
in themselves justify suspicions that do
little credit to the man who res >rts to
such virtually anonymous cominnuico*
tions to sustain his cause."

WASHINGTON, Feb. 7. —lt was the UNEX
pected thut happened in the room of the
senate committee on the judiciary. The
full membership of the committee was
present, and it was supposed that the
prompt adjournment at noon meant that
Peck ham had been dispsed of. On the
contrary, it went over until next Monday,
and that, too, on motion of Mr. Hoar,
the republican senator from Massachu
setts, who was the chairman of the com
mittee during the republican administra
tion. As soon as tie committee convened,
the question was askeu whether t! e vote
should be taken, Rud the motion made by
Mr. Hoar followed. It is also said that
Mr. Hoar accompanied this motion |
with the statement that as the ens.* now j
stood he was unprepared to vote (or a fav
orable report. Under th *se conditions (
the friends of Mr. Pecklmm could do
nothing else but submi* to a jostpone
ment, and the opponents of the nomina
tion readily acquiesced. Mr. George
(dem., Miss.), who was i-aid to have been
weakening in his opposition, is said to
have talked as if lie were prepared to
vote as he did in the Hcrnb'over ca-e.
The foes of Mr. Peck ham say that if Mr.
George or any oilier senator drops out (if
the list cf aiiti-Peckl am nun, there is j
another ready to step in and fill up the
ranks. Mr. Hill is confident that tbe re
port will be adverse, and that he cuu de
feat the nomination in the senate.
