SWEEPING CHANGES ADVOCATED Judge Jenkins' Ordar Restraining: Strikers to Be Investigated by the House. Associated Press. Washington, March 6. In the senate, Hill presented a resolution setting forth that as there Is announced a deficit of $78,000,000 for the current fiscal year; that as the Wilson bill proposes to dis card thab much revenue from the tariff and meet the double deficiency by in ternal direct taxation; that the finance committee be directed to frame amend ments to the bill omitting the proposed new Internal taxes and make Instead a provision . for sufficient revenue by tariffing other foreign Imports and otherwise revising the tariff without creating a deficiency. HOUSE PROCEEDINGS. Washington, March 6. The house has adopted the resolution for the Investiga tion of Judge Jenkins' Northern Pacific order restraining the men from strlk. lng. . i - . ; - ; Mr. Strait, democrat, of South Can Una, rose to a question of privilege on the ground that his rights had been ln7 vaded by the secretary of the navy in appointing and charging to his district a naval cadet from another state, Mr. Cummings, chairman of the naval committee, stated the committee agreed with Mr. Strait, and reported a bill to prevent such mistakes in the future. Mr. Strait then asked the adoption of the following resolution: '"Resolved, that the appointment by the secretary of the navy of a naval cadet for the fifth district of South Carolina from the sixth Alabama dis- Jo. trlct was without the authority of the law and Is void." Adopted. The house then went Into committee of the whole for the further considera tion of the pension appropriation bill. Mr. Sickles, democrat, of New York, took the floor, and had read an extract from President Cleveland's letter of ac ceptance of the presidential nomination, saying the debt due the defenders of the union should be ungrudgingly dis charged. Upon that pledge to the sol diers, the democratic party stood and won its political victory. He was not able to agree with the commissioner of pensions, either In the Interpretation of the law or the manner of treating the legislation of congress. The commis sioner characterized the act of Decem ber 23, 1893, in which congress declared a pension a "vested right" as "inaccur ate and Inappropriate." That Is not a very decorous way of treating an act of congress, and his superior officer should have returned It to him with the ad monition to treat congress with more respect. AN EXCITING SCENE.

He went Into tjie vault to get the check book and then slammed the door after him. Clay, af ter clearing out the place, departed without offering to shoot. POSTOFFICE APPROPRIATIONS.

I) The Mason Mortgage and Loan Company in Trouble. ITS POLICY WAS TO LIBERAL President Mason Makes a State ment Explanatory of the Cause of the Difficulty. Associated Press. Tacoma, March 6. A receiver was to day appointed for the Mason Mortgage and Loan Company. The application was made by the Selah . Val ley irrigation Company, whlcU is a judgment creditor for $5,758, and asked for the receiver In behalf of all the credltors. The principal creditors, ub stated by James H. Parker, are the Ta coma National bank, Yakima National bank and the company which he repre sented. Frank M. Harrlsburger, secre tary of the company, was appointed re celver. Speaking of the appointment of a receiver, Allen C. Mason, present of tho company, said: "The fact Is the Mason Mortgage and Loan Company failed because It guaranteed too liber ally the obligations of mortgagers on real estate mortgages, and because the company undertook to carry", them through what we thought would be a temporary financial depression. If the people wno have borrowed money through our company had met their obligations, the company would, have been all right. Its failure locally does not mean that any one here will be the loser by It, and, In my Judgment, non residents will lose nothing, unless they insist on indiscriminately foreclosing their mortgages at this time, and tak ing just exactly what securities will bring on a forced market, when there is practically no money In the country for investment In- real estate." The Bets and liabilities of the company are -'.I- unknown. The company has loaned over $4,000,009. It is one of the biggest concerns of the kind in the pa'ciflo northwest. TALKING FUSION.
