BALLOON FOR THE ARMY.
Captain Glossford of the Signal Corps 'to
•Construct One.
New York, Feb. 4.—A special dispatch
from Washington to a. morning paper says:
The army is to 'have another balloon, and
this time the engine of war will be made
in this country. Captain Glassford of the
signal corps -at Denver, Col., has recom-
inen"ded that material be purchased. He
estimates the cost 'at about $700, or about
one-third of tlie amount which was paid
the French maker of the balloon now in
service. It has also been decided to build
a gas plant at Fort Logan, where gas
stored in 'iron cylinders will be prepared
for shipment /to any point where a bal-
loon may bo located.
The balloon is of Little value except as
an observation car. Its bulk presents too
large a surface to the wind to make it
manageable for war purposes. Experi-
ments are making as far as possible with
the existing balloon, but with the limited
means at 'hand it is only possible to make
a few ascents at favorable seasons.

TALIAFERRO GOT IT.
End of the Long Fight Over the
District Attorneyship for the
Eastern District.
BALL AND B0UTWELL CASE
Advanced for Hearing in the Supreme Court.
Changes of Texas National Bank Officers.
The Proceedings of Congress.
Washing-ton, Feb. 4.—(Special.)—Sinclair
Taliaferro of Houston was to-uay appoint-
ed district attorney for the Eastern dis-
trict of Texas. There has been a .long
fight over this appointment, there being
several candidates, though the prize has
for a long tirre laid between Mr. Taliafer-
ro and Mr. Armistead of Jefferson. The
former was a good while ago appointed
assistant district attorney for the dis-
trict, though with the distinct understand-
ing that the appointment was not to give
him advantage over other aspirants when
the time came to put in a democratic dis-
trict attorney. Mr. Hutcheson of Houston
was the backer of Mr. Tnliaferro. The
president wos inclined to h m, while to •
attorney general was strongly in favor of
the appointn ent of Mr. Armistead. The
fact that.Mr. Taliuferro was in the office
and acquainted with the cases on the dock-
et influenced the president to some degree,
and besides this he held that as the north-
ern or eastern part of the district had
the marshal, in Mr. Sheb Williams of
Paris, it was right to give the southern
end to the district attorney.
SUPREME COURT DECISIONS.
Washington, Feb. 4.—The supreme court
of the United States to-day overruled
Judge Parker of the Western district of
Arkansas in the matter at Issue between
him and Justice White of the supreme
court, in which Judge Parker refused to
approve the bail bond of one Lafayette
Hudson, accused of "an infamous crime,
not capital," prepared In accordance with
an order of Justice White in the absence of
Justice Brewer of 'the Eighth circuit, on
the ground that the Justice was without
authority to Interfere. The case came tJo
the supreme court on a petition from Hud-
son for a writ of mandamus to compel
Judge Parker to act. The decision upheld
the claim of the petitioner that application
for relief in such a case as that of Hudson
could be made to any justice of the United
States supreme court, tout it was said that
as Judge Parker had expressed his willing-
ness to comply with any decision of the
court, and as he acted under a misunder-
standing, it was /thought better to leave the
disposal of the matter in Judge Parker's
hands and not deal with it over his 'head
by having the supreme court act directly.
It was stated, however, that in case of
failure to act, a writ would be issued.
Justice Brewer dissented, taking the po-
sition that ft was only competent for the
justice assigned to the Eighth district,
"which includes the state of Arkansas, to
grant an order for bail in such cases as
that of Hudson.
The supreme court in the case of Clyde
Ma'ttox, appealed from the circuit court of
Kansas, to-day decided that in cases where
witnesses had died between first and sec-
ond trial, testimony can not be impeached
by introducing witnesses to falsify the tes-
timony. The decision recognized the fact
that injustice was liable to be done the de-
fendant in such case, but said if the oppo-
site course should be pursued and the tes-
timony of impeachment of witnesses admit-
ted, there were equal chances of injustice
to the prosecution. The court therefore re-
fused to grant a writ of error on this com-
plaint, as it did on the ground that on the
second trial of Mattox the stenographer's
notes of the testimony in the first trial
were used, so that the defendant could not
be confronted by the witnesses agiainst
him, laying down the general proposition
that the constitution did not require a man
tried for crime to be confronted by his wit-
nesses more than once. Justices Shiras,
Gray and White dissented on the first part,
holding that it was competent to impeach
the testimony of a deceased witness.
CARLISLE HAS A CLOSE CALL.
New York, Feb. 4.—A special dis-
patch from Washington to a morning paper
says: Secretary Carlisle narrowly escaped
being knocked down by a reckless sleigh-
ing party this afternoon while he was on
his way to the white house to consult with
the president about the financial question.
The secretary was walking along Pennsyl-
vania avenue and was about to cross Exec-
utive avenue, which separates the treasury
from the white house grounds. Suddenly
a high stepping horse, drawing a cutter
containing two young people, dashed across
the street immediately in front of the sec-
retary. He was badly frightened, for he
barely escaped being run over. He fell
back toward the curbing with a start that
shook his hat from his head, and it was
several seconds before he recovered suf-
ficient composure to remark that he had a
very close call. A treasury policeman
glared indignantly at the rapidly disap-
pearing sleigh, and then escorted the sec-
retary across the street in safety.
ADVANCED FOR HEARING.
Washington, Feb. 4.—(Special.)—The First
national bank of Kansas City has been cre-
ated reserve bank for the First national
bank of Meridian.
In the supreme court to-day on motion
of the government the case of M. F. Ball,
John C. Ball and R. E. Boutwell against
the United States was advanced for hear-
ing, said hearing being set for the 4th of
March. The plaintiffs were indicted and
tried in the circuit court for the Eastern
district of Texas for the murder of Will-
iam T. Box in Pickens county, Choctaw na-
tion. M. F. Ball was acquitted and John
('. Ball and Boutwell convicted. On writ
of error to the supreme court the cases
were reversed and remanded with direc-
tion to quash the indictment. The plain-
tiffs in error were reindicted, convicted
and sentenced to be hanged on July 14, 1891.
From this judgment they came to the su-
preme court and the motion made is to ad-
vance the case for hearing.

LOYAL CITIZENS' CLAIMS.
Washington, Feb. 4.—(Special.) — The
house hit the loyal citizens' claims, as they
are called, a terrible whack to-day. These
claims are of citizens of the south who
were loyal during the war and from whom
the government took property. They have
been afflicting the government for years
and consist of charges for everything from
a case knife to a mule. A scheme was
fixed up by which something over $700,000
worth of them were put in an omnibus bill.
This bill contained the claims of people in
nearly every state In the south and It was
thought this scattering would secure the
votes of the delegates from these states.
A rule was brought in to have them con-
sidered, but the house smote it in a way
that created both surprise and laughter.
TO DINE SENATOR COKE.
Washington, Feb. 4.—(Special.)—Senator
Murphy of New York will give Senator
Coke a dinner next Saturday, at which
there will be twenty-four guests. As Sen-
ator Coke will quit the senate on the 4th
of March, this dinner will be given him as
a testimonial of the esteem in which Sena-
tor Murphy and his other colleagues hold
him. His retirement is looked upon with
regret by those who have been associated
with him in the senate for any length of
time, for he is universally popular.

Washington, Feb. 4.—The appropriation
bill, providing for the legislative, execu-
tive and judicial expenditures of the gov-
ernment for the fiscal year ending June

exaotlv the same as those carried by the
last bill. The whole amount recommended

HAWAIIAN CORRESPONDENCE.
Washington, Feb. 4.—The president to-
day sent additional Hawaiian correspond-
ence to congress. Most of it has been pub-
lished heretofore. The chief feature is the
correspondence between Secretary Gres-
ham and Minister Thurston, in which the
latter speaks of possible trouble the Ha-
waiian government will have in protecting
foreigners.
SUGAR BILL REPORTED.

Oregon of the subcommittee on claims,
which considered the bill for paying sugar
bounties for last year, to-day reported the

propriation bill was reported to the senate

of $105,G14.

thority that there is no truth in the pub-
lished report that the attorney general has
ordered an investigation in the case of
Justice McAtlee of Oklahoma.

SENATE.
Washington, Feb. 4.—The senate spent al-
most the entire day on the District of Co-
lumbia appropriation bill and for the first
time since the measure was taken up it did
not serve as a text for a financial discus-
sion. It is hoped to pass the bill to-morrow,
thus clearing the way for the postoffice
and the diplomatic and consular appropria-
tion bjllls now on the calendar and for the
Indian and sundry civil appropriation bills
soon- to be reported.
Mr. Vilas (D) of Wisconsin from the ju-
diciary committee favorably reported the
bill retiring Justice Howell E. Jackson
from the United States supreme court
bench and asked immediate consideration
of the measure.
Mr. Aid-rich, still holding Secretary Car-
lisle's letter, suggested that there was
some other things which would prevent the
full consideration of this measure, and it
accordingly went over.
Mr. Davis of Minnesota presented the
credentials of Knute Nelson, elected a sen-
ator from that state for six years begin
ning March 4 next.
The house bill to establish a national
military park at Gettysburg, Pa., was
passed.
A resolution was passed calling on the
interstate commerce commission to furnish
Information as to contracts between tins
Canadian Pacific railroad company and
American lines by which the fbrmer re-
frained from competition for the traffic in
certain localities.
The house bill was passed to regulate
traffic on the great lakes and connecting
waters in regard to lights, signals and to
extend the International code already es-
tablished.
The senate then resumed consideration of
the District of Columbia appropriation bill
and at 6.05 p. m. adjourned.
HOUSE.
Washington, Feb. 4.—The omnibus war
claims bill was considered in -the house to-
day. Some preliminary routine business
preceded the presentation of the special or-
der. The conference reports on the forti-
fications and army appropriations bills
were adopted. Bills were passed to author-
ize the Arkansas and Northwestern rail-
way company to construct a road across
the Indian territory; to authorize the gov-
ernor of Alaska to create precincts and ap-
point justices of the peace.
Mr. Catohlngs from the committee on
rules then introduced a special order for
the consideration of the omnibus war
claims bill. It gave the day to the consid-
eration of the bill, with provisions for a
vote at 4 o'clock. Under Its terms any
items in the bill not for stores and supplies
favorably reported from the claims coin-
la be su1
der.
mittee should be subject to a point of or-
Jer.
Mr. Mahon (R) of Pennsylvania ques-
tioned the right of the committee on rules
to bring in such a rule.
M. Bel'tzhoover (D) of Pennsylvania made
an indignant speech protesting against the
rule. He characterized this as an attempt
of the rules committee to ride roughshod
over a decided majority of the war claims
committee. He appealed to the speaker not
to hold that such a point was in order.
»Mr. Catchings In reply warmly declared
•that every Item in the bill had been found
due by the court of claims and had been
favorably reported from the committee on
v.ar claims. The omnibus bill to which Mr.
i Beltzhoover had referred on the other hand
had contained a claim of $1,000,000 by cer-
tain citizens of Pennsylvania which had
never been favorably acted upon bv the
court of claims. Addressing himself to the
merits of the bill, Mr. Catchings said that
only $12,000 ha'd been appropriated for war
claims, despite the public impression that
the sum was much greater.
After some further debate on the point of
order, in the course of which Mr. Hermann
(R) of Oregon protested against the method
of legislation proposed by this order as an
usurpation of power by the committee on
rules, the speaker overruled the point of or-
der.
Mr. Catchings then demanded the previ-
ous question. On a rising vote it was or-
dered, 97 to 73, but Mrt -Mahon made the
point of no quorum, and Mr. Catchings de-
manding the yeas and nays, the roll was
called.
The previous question was ordered, 128 to
95.
Under the rules fifteen minutes were then
allowed on a side for debate. Mr. Doekery
(D) of Missouri was very earnest in his op-
position to the bill, which, he said, carried
$71S,M3, distributed as follows:
Alabama, $25,000; Arkansas, $49,000; Geor-
gia, $28,000; Kansas, $2000; Kentucky. $24,000;
Louisiana. $50,000; Maryland, $46,000; Mis-
sissippi, $257,000: Missouri, $19,000; New York,
$2000; Pennsylvania. $21,000; Tennessee, $172,-
000; Virginia. $30,000; West Virginia, $14,000;
District of Columbia, $11,000; North Caro-
lina, $800, and Illinois, $500.
The bill carrying these claims had been
introduced by Mr. Catchings. He agreed
w;:h Mr. Heed that the French spoliation
claims were more meritorious than these,
because they had the actual judgment of
a court.
Mr. Sayers, chairman of the appropria-
tion committee, also took a decided stand
against the adoption of the order and the
passage of this bill.
Mr. Hermann (R) of Oregon advocated
the adoption of the order.
After some further debate, Mr. Reed
closed for the opposition, contending that
all classes of claims reported from the
court of claims should be treated alike and
an appropriation should be made, If the
condition of the treasury warranted It, to
be applied on all. Instead this bill pro-
posed, after a debate of an hour, to pay
claims of a certain class for a certain sec-
tion. He submitted that this was uniusu

Mr. Catchings, in reply, deprecated the
cry of sectionalism. These claims for stores
taken from loyal citizens during the war
came naturally from the south, because the
south was the theater of the war. This
cry might as well have been raised against
tii-- payment of the Indian depredation
claims. They, too. came from a section.
The claims had all been found to be just
and due by the court of claims.
The vote on the adoption of the order
was then taken. The result of the roll call
was % to 148, which defeated the adoption
of the rule by a large majority and showed
a pronounced reversal of sentiment since
the vote on the previous question.
Mr. Ou'thwai'te (D) of Ohio presented a
special order from the committee on rules
for the consideration of the new currency
bill. The rule gave to-morrow and
Wednesday until 3 o'clock for general de-
bate and thereafter until 4.30 p. in., and
Thursday when the vote should be taken
for the consideration of the bill under the
live-minute rule.
Mr. Outhwaite's assertion that the rule
was satisfactory to all factions of the
house aroused the Ire of Mr. Hatch (D) of
JVIiKSOvrl, who indignantly declared that it
represented only the banking and currency
committee, and that committee represented
only the banks.
Mr. Hall (D) of Missouri resented this
statement, denouncing it as absolutely
false.
"If the gentleman does not know that,
he should. He knows nothing about the
committee."
Mr. Hatch grew wrathy at Mr. Hall's re-
marks. He agreed to withdraw what he
said if the gentleman could cite him a
single bill reported by the committee on
banking and currency in the interest of
the people.
"I will say," he added defiantly, fuming
to Mr. Hall, "that the? gentleman's lan-
guage is not such as he would dare to use
to me off the floor of the house."
Instantly the house was in great commo-
tion, and the members crowded about, ex-
pecting a possible repetition of the row of
Friday last. Rut the speaker ordered the
sergeant at arms to see that the gentle-
men were seated. The excitement went no
further, as Mr. Outhwalte demanded the
previous question, which was ordered.
The rule was adopted, 135 to 28, after
which the house went into committee of
the whole and took up the agricultural bill.
Mr. Hainer (R) of Nebraska offered an
amendment to assess half the cost of in-
specting- meat for export on the owners of
the meat inspected.
Mr. Hatch made a point of order against
it, and the amendment was passed over.
Mr. Hainer declared that no better friend
of real, genuine agriculture existed than
Secretary Morton.
"I say that," he said, "even if he is a
democrat."
The bill then passed and the Hawaiian
correspondence was laid before the house.
Tuesday, February 20, was set for eulo-
gies on the life of Representative Post of
Illinois.
The house, at 5.30, adjourned until 11
o'clock to-morrow.
THE ILL-STARRED CIIICORA.
Searchers Fail to Find Any Trace of the
Missing Vessel.
Chicago, 111., Feb. 4.—The belief is grow-
ing apace that the reported finding of the
wrecked steamer Chicora originated in the
mind of some heartless practical joker, who
having once set the yarn traveling found
thousands of ready believers to spread and
exaggerate it with every revolution. The
search was again taken up this morning,
though all the conservative vessel men
united in pronouncing it next to useless.
Absolutely nothing was found up to the
time the disappointed searchers returned
last night to show that the vessel's hull
was in the vicinity indicated by those
claiming to have seen it, and while further
tidings are anxiously awaited, it is with
a feeling of hopelessness and keenest dis-
appointment. Especially is this the case at
Neton Harbor, Mich., and other places
where the crew of the ill-starred Chicora
resided.
The news of the finding of the dismantled
vessel and rescue of her crew was received
at Benton Harbor and St. Joseph during
memorial services for her dead in the
churches, and created the wildest enthusi-
asm. Hundreds wept for joy, yet feared
the news was too good to be true, as alas,
seems to have been the case. Special
trains were arranged for the conveyance of
hundreds to meet the supposed dead men,
so miraculously yielded up by the chilly
waters. Hells were rung, whistles screamed
and bonfires were lighted, but their joy
seems doomed to end in despair. Here and
there, however, there is found a man san-
guine enough to believe that the news will
be verified, but to such thus far can only
be vouehsa.fed the report of the captain of
the rescuing tug Perfection when he re-
turned last night: "We found nothing
whatever; on every hand a waste of slush,
Ice, a few seagulls, desolation—silence."
GARROTED AND ROBBED.
Honeydale, Pa., Feb. 4.—Ed Mott, whose
stories of Pike county's origin are famous,
writes to a friend here that he was thrown
down and robbed in New York recently.
He says:
"I got off the elevated at Twenty-eighth
street and started homeward. I heard
some one behind me, but thought nothing
of it. I reached the house, went up the
steps and had just stepped inside the door,
when I felt an arm thrown quickly round
my neck from behind and I was thrown
down. At once I knew I was being gar-
roted. I felt a man press his knee on my
chest as he choked me, and then I knew
no more until I came to in the room of
Mrs. Williams, our landlady. It seems that
she had had company, and they had been
gone but a short time. Her room is on the
ground floor and she heard the struggle in
the vestibule. She ran out, turned up the
gas In the hall and opened the door. She
says two men stood over me busy with
their robbery, but they ran when she
opt-ned the door. She dragged me in and
called for help, and ten or fifteen minutes
after brought me too. The robbers had
taken my watch, about $20 in money, and
were undoubtedly engaged in stripping me
of my overcoat when they were frightened
away by Mrs. Williams."
ASSOCIATION DISSOLVED.
Trenton, N. J., Feb. 4.—The Sanitary
ware manufacturers' association, embrac-
ing lall sanitary ware potteries in the
United States except one. has dissolved,
after a two days' consultation, not beintr
able to maintain prices.
Has Sh' wn the Assaults on the Gold Reserve
to Be Verv Much of a Bluff—Repub-
licans Want No Extra Sess on.
Washington, Feb. 4.—(Special.)—The sec-
retary of the triasury will to-morrow or
next day ask for bids for bonds. That is
a foregone conclusion now. There will be
a hundred million sold. They will bear 4
per cent and run thirty years. The bonds
issued heretofore have been 5 per cent
bonds which ran ten years. It is supposed
that the visit of the assistant secretary of
the treasury to New York was for the pur-
pose of ascertaining which class of bonds,
the 4 or 5 per cents, would meet with the
best and quickest sale. It was threatened
by the bankers when Carlisle introduced
his llrst bill, which provided that green-
back and coin notes and not bonds should
hereafter be the basis of national banking,
that when another issue of 5 per cent bonds
came they would not pay the premium that
they paid before, and some of them went
so far as to state that the bonds could not
be marketed at all. It may be that the
foreigners who are anxious to invest in
these bonds and prefer a long-life bond
with a low rate of interest, rather than a
short bond with a higher rate of interest,
have something to do with the administra-
tion's determination to issue the 4 instead
of the 5 per cent bonds. It has been be-
lieved that the president would not agree
to an issue of bonds till his suggestion of
an issue of 3 per cent bonds was passed
upon by the house. Those who held this
belief are disposed to believe now that the
president has finally concluded that this
congress does not intend to do anything
and that there is no use insisting on it.
That he should have come to this conclu-
sion is no surprise, because every one
knows that the senate does not intend to
do anything in a separate bill, and in spite
of Gorman's prophecy that when the clock
struck the hour of adjournment on the 4th
of March that there would have been legis-
lation to relieve the treasury through the
medium of a rider on an appropriation bill.
No one thinks that there will be any relief
in that way. Those who know the charac-
ter of Senator Gorman for shrewdness
wonder that he should have prophesied so
boldly in the face of the asseverations of
the free coinage of silver men that nothing
shall be done.
As has been mentioned in these d.s-
patches, when the president's message
came in containing the suggestions thai
are contained in the Springer bill, the re-
publican side applauded and gave oral
testimony of their satisfaction with it,
and as has been said lh these dispatches
for the past three or four days they have
shown a great coolness, when compared
with their warmth at the outset. This has
put a great fear in the hearts of the advo-
cates of the bill, and to-night the latter
are difpirited. To-night when the rule
was brought in to commence the consid-
eration of the measure to-morrow and to
end it during the week, the republicans
were not at all loud in their votes. The
most of them sat silent and looked as if
they were sullen. An effort had been made
by a few members to get. up a fight on
th? adoption of the rule, and thus beat the
bill at the outset. Just as was done with
Springer's former bill, sometimes called the
Carlisle bill, but the effort was unavailing.
The public did not understand thoroughly
the vote on the former occasion. There
were members who voted for the rule who
also were against the bill and members
who voted against the rule who were op-
posed to the bill. The question as it came
before the house was not calculated to
demonstrate how a member stood, and
many of them were misinterpreted by the
public. Explanations had to be made, and
so to-day it was concluded to let the rule
be adopted and then every lawmaker could
express himself clearly on the final vote
on the bill, so that he could not be mis-
