nouDce the imputation, that this fco3y
were addicted to . eeil the eeeds which
were alloted them for distribution, as an
infamous Blander. I believe that to
abolish the system of disturbutiou of
seeds would be advantageous to mem
bers of congress. For every constituent
who receives a package of seeds and who
is gratified at the compliment, there are
others dissatisfied because they have not
likewise been favored. I am extremely
tired of having this body brought into
disgrace and contempt by the executive
officers of the government."
Livingston said Morton was a servant
of this house and he wanted him to
know he had said it. "Pie must either
obey this purpose or we will impeach
him."
SECRETARY SCORED
For Refusing to Spend Ap
propriation for Seeds.
NOT A VOICE IN DEFENSE; a
Boatner'8 Remarks Arouse Enthusiasm
Congress Accused of Selling:
the Seeds.
Secretary Morton Scored.
Washington, Feb. 15. The attack on
Secretary Morton for his refusal to ex
pend the appropriation for seeds in the
present agricultural appropriation was
transferred from the senate to the house
today and furnished a feature of the pro
ceedings in the lower house.
If was led by Baker and was support
ed by Moses, Livingston, Boatner and
Meredith. Some very harsh things were
said and applauded, especially by Boat
ner, who referred to Morton contemptu
ously as "that individual" and not a
voice was raieed in his defense.
Baker led in the attack on the secre
tary for refusing to use the seed appro
priation in current law, the present bill
appropriating $136,000 for seeds. "We
will," he added "force Secretary Morton
to either execute the law or abandon his
office."
Boatner, however, aroused the greatest
enthusiasm by his remarks. "The feat
ure of Mr. Morton's actions which has
aroused my indignation," said he, "more
than any other is that it is based upon a
sort of false pretense. As an antecedent
to his decision that, under the terms of
the law he Was not authorized to expend
the appropriation, there emanated from
the agricultural department a report de
rogatory to the congress of the United
States. It was that congressman have
been guilty of selling seeds allotted to
them for distribution. As a member of
the fifty-first congrees I present and de-
Is'ansen all O. K.
London, Feb. 15. The British consult
at Archangel, capital of the Russian pro
vince of that name- telegraphs confirm
ing the report that Nansen is safe and is
returning from the north pole.
Later advices say the first news of
Nansen's safety was sent by Kandaroff,
a local Russian official, in the Yakutfch
region, who was a member of Siberia
koff's expedition.
Dr. Nordenskjold, who is in Christiaia,
is inclined to believe the news of Nan
sen's safety at any rate, even if it is not
true that he succeeded in discovering
the north pole.-
According to the opinion of Arctic
experts here when the Fram left the
Kari sea, in 1893, she may have found
a sea to the northward free of ice, and,
pushed on until locked in. She may
then have been allowed to drift until
the expedition came to land around the
pole, and Nansen and his party may
have returned in sledges to the Siberian
islands.

General" Kelley Again.
Omaha, Feb. 16. A new political
party was b rn in Omaha last night.
Two hundred laboring men organized it.
"General"' Kelly, of industrial army
fame, presided. Following is the
pledge :
"Recognizing the necessity of labor
organizing for its protection, we, the
undersigned, do pledge ourselves to sup
port no political party other than the
party of labor, and we hereby renounce
any and all political affiliations with the
Republican, Democratic and Populist
parties."

Caused By Gasoline. -
Pittsburg, Pa., Feb. 15. The explo
sion of gasoline in the Pullman sleeper
Wyndham about noon completely de
molished the interior of the car, badly
damaged the Pullman cars Gila and New
England, and seriously . injured Mrs.
Laura Fass, aged 30 ; Sadie Conroy, 25.
and James Richardson, the porter. The
women were cleaning the carpets of the
Wyndham with gasoline. By some
means the gas ignited from the' stove,
and the explosion followed. The women
and porter were seriously burned and
cut. Misa Conroy will probably die.
Not let Found.
Tacoma, Wash., Feb. 15. No trace
has been found of Mrs. A. B. Cody, who
disappeared fifteen days ago, all clews
having proven false. The water front
will now be Investigated for miles by a
steam launch in search of her body, as
the explosion of dynamite in the harbor
failed to reveal it there. A settled be
lief exists now that she is dead.. The
whole coast has been searched for her by
her huBband, who came from Chicago
wiiea informed of her disappearance.
A Correction.
Editor Chronicle : It was no error
in saying that John Brookhouse's
daughter, that died in Spokane, left a
husbard and four children. That they
should call her Hagan, is most amazing,
as her name ought to have been Creamer.
John D. Hagan's death occured eight
years ago. .
