Xew York Feb. 11. LaGoscogne was
sighted off Fire Island about 4:15 o'clock
this a fternqon. She was proceeding slow-
ly. It was not until 5 o'clock that the look-
out was sure that the vessel was
i he Lliited steamer whose arrival has
oeu anxiously awaited. She was ae-
:ouipuired by two other steamers one
nppureroly" an Anchor liner. She dis-
played i.ignals but in the failing light
ibey could not be made out from the
station on Fire Island. Her French flag
r was soon made out and as no other ves-
' ttel of that line was due LnNormandie
having romp in this morning there was
litth' doubt of her identity and it probably
never would have been questioned but
that her lone delay had led shipping men
it believe that if she was still afloat
Ac him Id fust be heard of from some
utlwr port. The hope was strengthened
when it was seen that the vessel had two
masts t id two red smoke stacks black
topped.
The beh'ted steamer will probably not
roach the bay until 9 o'clock tonight as
sue was moving very slowly. In that
vsise she will no doubt remain off the bar
' until Remise tomorrow morning. She
.should reach quarantine at about S a. in.
and her dock before 10 o'clock.
Till) JOYOUS TIDINGS.
New York Feb. 11. The news that
Lr Onseogne had been sighted was re-
ceived with great excitement at the office
of the French line in Bowling Green. The
cabin office was crowded with anxious
iD'iulr. rs who have relatives and friends
-i. hn;ivl the steamship. They had beeu
..uinding around with pale faces expect-
ii s: at any moment to hear the worst.
When tl:o word enmo that the ship was
fan re for a moment stillness reigned
which was almost painful in its inten-
sity. Agent Forget for a moment was
rendered speechless which evidenced
how noxious he had been for the safety
jl me sieumer. j.iicu uu rcuiiieu iinusi-ii
. and became wildly hilarious. He shouted
van hero and there grasping the hand of
this one and that one. and fairly jumped
- tip and down over the floor amid the
excitement of the moment. Then he put
on hia coat and started for the French
v ltn Dicr .it the foot of Morton street.
where a ug had been in readiness to
take him to meet La Gascogne should
she lie sighted. Several of the anxious
ones awi Hing news from the office went
o'l bo-'ird t le tug with Mr. Forget.
Many w (t eyes could he seen in the
French iire office when the good news
was asoci iiiined nnd the tears were not
from ih: eyes of women alone. Stong
men v opt as little children. The strain
?i of days of worry had been too much for
them.
One man. Mr "xh broke down com-
pletely nnd sobbed as if his heart would
break. He ins three daughters on board

New Y.) .! Feb. 11. Not since the Uni-
bria was reported safe two years ago
after ;i perilous voyage across the At-
lantic with a broken shaft has there
been as in ich excitement in this city as
this evening.

slowly making her way to her port of
destination that the long pent-up feeling
of those who had anxiously watched day
by day for tidings of the missing craft
broke out.
In every hotel in every club in al-
most every home in the city the sole topic
of conversation was the arrival of the
ship hope of whose rescue from the
storms which has caused such terrific
disasters had almost deserted the hearts
of the most sanguine.
The office of the steamship company
was one of greal confusion. Hundreds
of persons best-iced the pier of the com-
pany as though they expected that the
La Gascogne would remain an hour or
so. This crowd was reinforced every
moment. Friends of French passengers
fired query after query at Mr. West
the agent. The only information given
was that the ship was safe. They shook
hands with each other and laughed nnd
went with joy. Over a thousand people
decided on staying at the dock until the
La Gascogne arrived and it was only
when a conspicuous announcemnt was
posted on the outside of the company's
piers that she would not leave until tomor-
row morning that the watchers slowly
went to their homes.
THE WATCH AT QUARANTINE.
Quarantine. S. I. Feb. 11. When the
Associated Press dispatch nt 3:15 p. m.
announced that the La Gascogne was
sighted off Fire Island flags previously
agreed upon as signals were hoisted on
the flagstaff of the office of the French
line upon The World building and on the
offices of nil the newspapers joyfully an-
nouncing that the long overdue steamer
was safe. But the stern faced black
bearded agent had not a moment to lose.
Two tugs chartered before hand were
promptly ordered to get ready to force
their way through the ice nnd down the
bay. The first tug carried M. Forget and
three influential members of the French
colony down to Sandy Hook. The sec-
ond boat which left at )S o'clock was
placed at the disposal of the press by the
French line and carried down to the
quarantine station.
The trip down to quarantine in the
moonlight crashing through the ice. buf-
fettiug into the arctic wind proved a de-
lightfully bracing experience in spite of the
cold. All seemed to feel the excitement
of the moment the joy felt on the receipt
of the news telling of the rescue appar-
ently from a terrible calamity for about
450 souls and a splendid ocean steamship
valued at $1000U(HI nnd having on board
a cargo valued at $51)0000. Therefore
what mattered it if the interior of the
little tug's pilot was like an ice chest and
that one s breath lroze all over his lace.
I'art of the Staten Island was 'hemmed
in by an apparently impenetrable ice
field. All was light and jollity.
Nearer and nearer came the gallant
steamship with its happy human freight.
The first and only real break in the mo-
notony of the night's watch was the
sighting coming around Fort Wndsworl h
of the Bolivia. Captain Baxter from Med-
iterranean ports. It was believed that
she had passed near La Gascogne. Hence
there was a wild desire upon the part: of
everybody to board her and get the latest
news. It was not an easy job the ice
oft shore was almost impassable 1mu a
tug crushed its way slowly alongside the
steamer and Captain Baxter was inler-
vied as he let go his anchor.
Captain Baxter and his chief officer took
turns at watching 1m unscogne closely
through a powerful marine glass and they
came to the conclusion that her machinery
was disabled.
Pilot Nicholas Reach also took a squint
at the slowly moving craft and expressed
the opinion that she was down by the
stem nnd it was judged that either her
propeller shatt or her rudder or both
were disabled. At her foremast head the
steamer displayed three red balls indi-
cating she was disabled or unmanageable.
ARRIVAL OF LA GASCOGNE.
Quarantine Station S. I. Feb. 11'. La
Gascogne limped into port last night
with three red lights hanging from her
formast. Her passengers were all on
deck some of them singing and most of
them cheering as persons are wont to do
when their minds are suddenly relieved.
For 13 days of a voyage lasting 10 days
the ship had been disabled one of her
piston rods having broken on her third
day out from Havre.
For lt hours on that fateful third day
the vessel was hove to while the break
was being repaired. It was compara-
tively good weather then but the dis-
abled steamer was fated to run into
some of the nastiest weather of her voy-
age. Whn the break was repaired the
steamer proceeded on her way but under
reduced sioed. When near the banks
of Newfoundland La Gascogne ran into a
;ale that increased to hurricane force.
While off Sable Island Feb. 5 the ma-
chinery broke down again and the steam-
er was hove to ngain this time for -IS
hours. During that period the engines
did not make a single revolution. When
tho second repairs had beeu made the
steamer started ahead once more under
still further reduced power and headed
toward the Long Island coast.
While the passengers were considerably
worried on account of the delay there was
never a nanic among them. They knew
their ship was a staunch one and
they had confidence in their captain. And
b''sH"s tb" 1 1 ew 'li-t they ship was not
1 totally disabled. But they were never-
theless npprehensive at times. They
cheered the captain aud tho crew and
cheered the World tug.
I All would have gone well after the ac-
Li ti .
tual Life of lew York
cident but for a terrible storm which be-
set the disabled vessel on the 4th inst.
It struck while the ship was lying to
making repairs. The vessel pitched and
tossed frightfully in the gale ad for
the first time since the break down the
passengers began to feel uneasy. The
engineers were unable to woik because
of the violent tossing of the ship. It was
impossible to handle the heavy pieces of
machinery. For 41 hours the vessel lay-
to while the engineers did their utmost to
make temporary repairs again. It was
impossible to make a perfect job owing
to the constant increase in the extent of
the derangement to the machinery and
the speed of 150 miles which was made
after the first few days lmd to greatly
after the first few days had to he greatly
reduced.
A gale burdened with shet and snow
came out of the west with terrific force
and the vessel pitched aud tossed dread
fully l'assengers nnd crew realized
the seriousness of their position then and
for the first time signals were displayed
of distress. She signed by signal that she
was disabled but it was not until yes-
terday that she sighted and signalled a
mast. She was an English 'steamer.
She answered the signals but proceeded
in her way. .She was too far away to
understand that La Goscogne required
assistance. The passengers would not
have expressed anxiety but for this. The
ship was frequently beset by gales
which at times threatened to founder
the vessel: and that they were aboard u
disabled vessel in terrible storms made
many ot the passengers very gloomy in-
deed. Too much in praise of the captain
i tnl the officers who manly braved the
dangers can not be said.
It was after midnight when La Gas-
cogne reached the bar where she an-
chored for the night. She will doubtless
reach her dock at 8 o'clock this morning.
THE FIRST GLIMPSE.
It was just 7:30 o'clock when the tug
Yossburg. off Fire Island with a power
ful marine glass caught the glimpse of
a light far away to the eastward. It was
so faint and flickering that for a time the
observer was uncertain whether it was a
light or an illusion. But it was a light. The
tiny light grew brighter momentarily.
A ship was coming in undoubtedly. But
was it La Gascogne? They had been
chasing lights for a week which all
proved to be wil-o'-tho-wisps as far as
ha tiascogno was concerned. It was tho
rule to speak every ship that might be the
La tiascogne.
Half an hour after the first glimpse
of a light tho World men on the Yoss
burg made out three lights at the must
head of the steamer. There was joy on
Yossburg then. The lights spelt almost
"La Gascogne." They told a story of a
Royal"
disabled ship and that must mean La
Gascogne. Two masts and funnels of La
Gascogne were made out. There was a
cheer from the deck of the Yossburg. The
lost was found. The Yossburg slowed
down as she approached the steamer and
went nround her stern. It was too dark
to make out her name. As the Yossburg
came nround on the windward side of
the unknown a World man who stood
upon the pilot house made a trumpet of
his hands and hailed: "What steamer is
that?"
"La Gascogne" was the answer.
"Do you want assistance?"
"No."
"What is the matter with you?"
"Piston broke. Took three days to re
pair it."
"Shall we report all well on board? '
"Yes."
Just then the Associated Press tug
Luckenbach came up nnd offered as
sistance in towing La Gascogne. She did
not want help nnd the Yossburg was
left alongside to escort the big ship it:
and the Luckenbach hurried away.

SENATE.
Washington Feb. 12. There was a
sparse attendance in the early proceed-
ings today.
Mr. Cullom presented a memorial from
various trade and transportation associ-
ations asking legislation to protect ex-
press companies from train robbery and
railway trains from train wreckers.
Mr. Gn.y reported vorsoly fr m th
committee on privileges and elections the
resolution providing for the election of
senators by direct vote of the people.
Mr. Jones (I)eni. Ark.) reported the
bill adopted by the finance committee for
the unlimited coinage of silver.
Messrs. Aldrich and Hill asked for the
reading of the bill and Mr. Aldrich
then explained that he mado the request
to show what he considered the meri-
torious features of the bill had been
stricken out mid the objectionable part
retained.
Mr. Sherman said he desired to sav
Unit the minority had done what it could
to prevent the reporting of this bill and
very emphatic against it.
Mr. .lones replied that tho majority for
the bill was a very decided one.
Mr. Jones asked for immediate consid-
eration. Mr. Aldrich suggested that it might
take the place of the bankruptcy bill.
"I object to that." exclaimed Mr.
George.
.Mr. Call objected to the consideration of
the bill.
Mr. Harris said the objection would
lie withdrawn if the bill -ould be passed
without debute.
Mr. Hill said that was hardly probable
nnd the bill went to the committee.
Mr. Hill secured unanimous consent
for the conhidei'iilion of a resolution
which he introduced asking for informa-
tion concerning the appointment and re-
moval of postmasers in New York. The
resolution was agreed to.
Mr. Vest from the finance committee
reported a joint resolution- extending the
lime for collecting the income tax nnd
asking for its immediate consideration
but objection was made and the resolu-
tion went over.
Mr. Peffer called up his resolution re-
quiring the judiciary committee to report

this resolution inquiring into the legality
of the recent bond issues.
Mr. Hill suggested that the committee
might wish to wait for an opinion from
the attorney general.
Mr. Peffer said he did not want the
opinion of the attorney general; that he
himself knew more about the matter than
did the attorney general.
"Then I have no more to say" replied
Mr. Hill.
The resolution went to the calendar.
Mr. Blackburn moved to take up the
posloflice appropriation bill and Mr. Al-
ien took the floor hut gave way to Mr.
Stewart to discuss the last message of
the president on the currency question.
Mr. Stewart declared that the presi-
dent in his alternative proposition to
congress hns construed the bond issuo
under the preHcnt law to be silver bonds
and proposed a premium on gold. The
president contracted to issue gold bonds
and g dd bomU Win something entirely
unknown to existing lusv. Notwithstand-
ing congress hnd not given its sanction
ment it was nevertheless responsible for
the result nnd could not ovojl it. The
administration had refused to carry
iiit the lows and congress should face
tl'e question squarely and determine
whether officials should obey the laws.
Vr. Sl'-wart closed with the warning
"ar if the present conditions continued

nss"d. after which Mr. Allen resumed
lis speech ru alleged election frauds in
Alabama but was interrupted by a point
of no quroum by Mr. Hoar.
A quorum responded to a call and Mr.
Allen continued his speech.
At its close Mr. Morgan rend a protest
against the proceedings in the senate by
himsilf and colleague. Senator Pugh
characterizing the speech as a "clear
abuse of parliamentary law in disregard
of the urgent necessities of public busi-
ness und an assault upon Alabama as a
state of the Union and upon the character
of our people and government. He colled
attention to the fact that today's speech
was made while an appropriation bill
was under consideration and said that
the speech was not relevant important
or germane.
They say it was impossible to vote upon
the question raised by Mr. Allen and
added: "It was especially impossible for
Alabama with decent respect for the sen-
ate and proper regard for the public busi-
ness now to reply to the charges of gross
fraud and injustice in eight or nine of the
sixty counties of the Btnte upon which
the senator from Nebraska through un-
justifiable abuse of the privilege of de-
bate has taken occasion to arraign the
state of Alabama at the bar of the sen-
ate as a common culprit. Due respect
and deference from the sovereign state
they represent forbids the senator from
Alabama from acknowledging the right
of the senator admitting its jurisdiction
to hear and determine a question relnt-
ing to her rights as one of the sovereign
slates of the American Union. What-
ever attitude congress may have the right
to impose upon a state of the Union it
cannot be asserted that the view of con-
gress acting alone can decree that n stute
is in the Union or out of it according to
its pleasure nor can investigation he
fully made which has for its object such
a determination as to the rights of n state
except under a law of congress duly en-
acted and approved. They say the fact
that seats in the house of representatives
are being contested should prevent the
senate from any interference in the mat-
ter under the commonest instances of
propriety. They also claim that the sen-
ate cannot investigate the election of the
governor under any circumstance and
that they are barred from such an investi-
gation of the election of the legislature.
They assert Senator Allen's charges are
made' uimn hearsay evidence of men
who expect reward of office.
"They supply him" the prettM con-
tinues "with affidavits letters and notes
and he launches them upon the senate and
the world through the medium of the
congressional record at the expense of the
government. Broadside assertions are
made on the responsibility of men only
who evade justice at home and under state
laws and before home judges and juries
and come to the senate for a hearing
which it hns no jurisdiction to conduct.

senate on such accusations or to make an
swer to them in the form or manner in
which they are presented nnd we wish
to spread the solemn protest against this
unprecedented wrong nnd indignity upon
the records ot the senate.
Discussion of the postoffice appropria-
tion bill was resumed. Mr. Chandler op
posing taking the limit fixed by law upon
the amount that can tie paid railroad com
panies und allowing the postmaster gen-
eral to do as he pleased. It was a poor
way to economize ana Mr. Chandler want
ed to know if id was not a suspicious
amendment.
Mr. Gorman reminded the senator that
the total amount of the appropriation was
limited to a certain figure.
Early in the afternoon Mr. Palmer ob
tained unanimous consent to consider
pension bills at 5 o clock and this horn
having arrived that order was taken up
and severnl nension bills passed. A
house bill to amend the act to establish
circuit courts of appeal was called up
and passed also the following:
A bill for the relief of certain Win
nebago Indians in Minnesota; also 2S
private pension bills.
After an executive session the senati
ut (J o'clock adjourned.
HOUSE.
Washington Feb. 12. Members crowd
ed before the speaker's desk in the house
today to secure the consideration of the
many local measures which are being en
dangered by the near approach of tho
close of the session.
Among the bills and resolutions passed
were those returning war flags to certain
Michigan regiments; donating condemned
cannon to Des Moine la.; incorporating
national association of florists; senate bill
granting public lands in Mississippi to
aid in the agricultural and mechancal
college of the state and house bill au-
tlionzing the restoration to the public do-
main of certain reservations in Mississippi
and Alabama now held by tho naval de-
partment for naval purposes.
While tho house was proceeding with
routine business there was a round of
applause from the Republican side and
then from the whole house as Mr. Wilson
of Washington long a popular and witty
member of tho house and recently ele-
vated to the senate came on the floor.
He was surrounded by his old associates
and the house business was temporarily
suspended by tho heartines of the re-
ception accorded him.
Tho house then resumed consideration
of the legislative judicial nnd executive
appropriation bills.
Mr. Picklor (Rep. S. Dak.) offered a
substitute for tho provision of the bill re-
lating to the working force of the pension
ollice. The substitute proposed the same
force of officers and clerks as at present
instead of the reduced force reported by
the appropriation.
Mr. Picklor said the executive authori-
ties were afraid to assume the resiwnsi-
bility for discharging old .soldier clerks
and were trying to unload tho responsi-
bility oh to congress.
Mr. Millken (Rep. Me.) also spoke
against "this insiduous plan of ousting
the old veterans" nnd leaving them in
their old age like abandoned hulks.
Mr. Coombs (Dem. N. Y.) defined the
pension item of the bill nguinst criti-
cism. He then branched off into a finan-
cial speech.
Mr. Bland (Dem. Mo.) and Mr. Snod-
grass (Dem. Tenn.) sought to interpose
and the counter assertions becnnie so
warm that Mr. Coombs appealed to '.he
chair for protection. He said congress
mid shut its eyes to the recommenda-
tions of the president. No wonder our
condition was no longer us good abroad as
it was at home. No wonder our se
curities were returning.
If you allow the country s credit to
fnll before the world" said Mr. Coombs
"it will cost us untold millions; it will
bring a ruin nnd a destruction exceeding
that of the rebellion."
Mr. Snodgrnss liutorposed the point
that Mr. Coombs wus maligning the upper
branch of congress because a free silvir
bill had today been reported to that body.
There was great confusion and laughter
as Mr. Coombs excitedly demanded pro-
tection. Another roar nrose when Mr. Van
Vooris (Rep.) replied to Mr. Coombs. He
arraigned the administration for its
course on the finnnchil question.
"I nuike the noiut that the gentlomnn is
out of order iu criticising the chief ex-
ecutive" interposed Mr. Coombs. There
was some laughter and a lively exchange
between Mr. Coombs and Mr. Van Voor-
his which could lioTbe heard above tho
confusion.' -
"The gentleman hns wheels in bis head.
said Mr. Van Voorhis resuming. "I hnd
suspected as much .hilt now he has proved
it." Mr. Coombs joined in the general
laughter and mnde no further rejoinder.
Mr. Binghnm (Rep. Penn.) a member
of the appropriation committee said the
criticisms on the proposed reduction or
pension appropriations was not justified
as it was not uaseii on puun ousincss
A warm exchange occurred with Mr.
Baker (Ren.. N. II.) when that gentleman
spoke of one-nrmed clerks nt the pension
ollice who were expected to do as much
as two-armed clerks.
"Why do you not put it In the statute
if a one-armed clerk Is not to do ns much
ns a two-nnned clerk?" asked Mr. Bing-
hnm. "Because. God Almighty has put it in
his statute doclured Mr. Bnker.
Mr. Bingham said Mr. Picklor could not
show his devotion for the old soldiers in
nny way which would not meet his (Bing-
ham's) approval. But he did not believe
the discharge of vcteruns was contem-
plated. The vote was taken on Mr. Pickler's
substitute ami it was defeated 09 to 1152.
When the bill was reported back to tho
'iouso the contest was resumed against
lie provisions for annual clerks to con-
gress. Mr. Dockery (Dem. Mo.) criticised
congressional vultures.
Mr. Burtlett resented the imputation
md declared that Mr. Dearmond was
not a vulture but a raven continually
'rooking "Never more."
Mr. Burtlett said his movement in be-
half of clerks involved nothing personul
to himself as he was serving in congress
nt n loss of his New York law practice
worth $25000 annually.
Thereupon Mr. Cnruth (Dem. Ky.)
"reated much amusement by running uj
the aisle and pleading thnt this abar.-
loned law practice bo turned over ti
him.
Mr. Dockery finally cut off the lively
debate by moving the previous question
which was ordered.
A yea nnd nay vote was then taken
in the amendment for the nnnunl clerks
md it was defeated yeas 0!) nays 142.
Most of the Republicans were for the
clerks und the Democrats ngainst it.
