DOINGS OF CONGRESS Senator Stewart Speaks in Be half of Bland's THE PROCEDINGS UNINTERESTING A Number of Matters of More or Less Importance Dicussed in the House. Associated Press. Washington, March 13. In the Benate consideration of the Bland seigniorage bill was resumed. Stewart, of Nevada spoke in Its support. The proceedings in the senate today were uninteresting. The discussion of the seigniorage bill was taken up by Senators Stewart and Lindsay speaking in favor, while Senator Dolph spoke In opposition, holding that its passage would destroy the existing equality be tween gold and silver. Mr. Dolph thought those who were urging the pas. sage of the bill were doing so turner false representations. The bill was a reckless proposition to Increase ;he coinage of standard sliver dollars or of silver certificates without, adequate pro vision for redemption, or to maintain their equality with gold. The btll was In direct connection with the declaration of congress, made when the purche. clause of the Sherman, law was repeal ed, and that It was the policy of thi government to maintain a parity of gold and silver. Mr. Dolph alluded to the work which he wanted printed in the record. Mr. Harris, of Tennessee, objected to any book going In the record. Mr. Dolph said the work was only a newspaper clipping, but Mr. Harris ob jected to even that. Finally Mr. Dolph got his way and just began to read, when the senate adjourned. ' DOINGS IN THE HOUSE. Washington, March 13. The house to day began the consideration of the bill making appropriations for the sundry civil expenses of the government. Mr. .Morse, republican, of Massachu setts, moved an amendment to cut off the appropriation for the lnter-state commerce commission. The manner in which a portion of the ajiroprlatlon for counsel fees was worded led to a Bplrlted debate, In which Mr. Cannon, of Illinois, broadly intimated this appropriation should have been placed under the direction of the commission, instead of the depart ment of justice, as heretofore, because of the criticism against Attorney Gen eral Olney that he is In sympathy with the corporations. The amendment was finally defeated. Resolutions calling for information from the secretary of the navy regard ing the troubles with Carnegie, Phlpps & Co. In regard to armor plate were passed. MISS POLLARD'S SUIT. Defendant's Lawyers Deny Bringing Weapons Into Court. Washington, March 13. At the open ing of court In the Pollard-Brecken-ridge case this morning Judge Bradley said he had been credibly Informed that some of the lawyers for the defense were carrying weapons in court. The attorneys for Breckenridge entered dis claimers declaring they had no weap ons. During the morning there were no la dles In the court where the Pollard case Is on, not even Miss Pollard herself ap pearing. Her attorneys have not yet de cided whether the plaintiff will be placed upon the stand to testify, as she is In such a nervous state they fear she will not be able to stand the ordeal. The reading of depositions occupied the court until the noon adjournment. The first witness this afternoon was Sister Cecilia, of the Sisters of Charity of Cincinnati. She said that in 1884 she had been a sister In charge of the con vent at Norwood, Ohio. mere was nothing startling In her evidence WITHOUT FRIENDS. Sad Story of a Young Wife's Desertion By Her Husband. Chicago, March 13. Deserted by her husband, penniless and friendless, Mrs. G. A. Lee. whose marvelous rifle shoot ing won the plaudits of the world's fair visitors at Buffalo Bill's show last sum mer, now lies at the point of death In the county hospital, dependent on char ity. Only 23 years old, she has seen more sides of life than falls to the lot of most of her sex. Until last summer Mrs. Lee was Miss Fannie Desmond. Her brother la Will iam Desmond, chief of the St. Louis il tective bureau, who triad e a successful fight on Chinese highbinders some years ago. His sister Fannie was his greatest aid in his struggle with the highbinders. She dinned the tattered shirt and rag' ged trousers of a bootblack, and In this disguise mingled freely with the high binders. For several months she boldly risked her life, but the Chinese never once discovered her sex. One night Chief Desmond waa inform. ed that his enemies were plotting a con spiracy of more than ordinary danger. His sister was lowered through a coal hole at the rear of a well known joss and gambling house in the heart of St. Louis"-"Chinatown," crawled over the coal and through several dark passages until only a thin and loosely built par tition Jleparated her from the conspira tors. She knew the Chinese language and secured the details of the murder ous plof which the Chinese desperadoes were discussing. With this evidence she became the chief witness for the prosecution.' Last summer Miss DeBmond, who 13 a splendid shot with pistol and rifle alike, joined Buffalo Bill's Wild West and achieved great popularity by the won derful skill with which she broke glass balls while shooting over her head by the aid f a mirror or while riding at full speed on a pony. It was during this engagement that she met M. W. Lee, the man who has now deserted her. They became acquainted, fell in love and, after a few weeks' courtship, were married. The honeymoon lasted until a month ago. Then she was taken sick with Inflammatory rheumatism, and last week her husband left her. Her condi tlon rapidly grew worse. Monday night the landlady notified the police and her wasted body was carted away to the county hospital. At the hospital It was said that her condition is probably hope. less. ;HE WAR OVER.

For the last two days the streets have been packed with people, and all available trucks nnd hand carts have been busy carrying household goods out of the city until this noon, when it was learned that the struggle was over.

EXCITEMENT IN THE COMMONS Labourchere't) Amendment to Abol ish the Upper House Favorably Received. Associated Press. London, March 13. The house of com mons has passed Henry Labouchere's amendment to abolish the house of lords by a vote of 147 to 145, In spite of the opposition of the government. When the figures were announced they caused an outburst of prolonged cheering, which was renewed when the deputy speaker read the address In r-j- ply to the queen's speech with Labou chere's amendment &liuched to 1U The division on Labouchere's amendment occurred earlier than was expected, and many members were absent at dinner, The majority was composed of 73 Mc Carthyites and Parncllltes, the remain der being radicals. When the division paper was handed to Labouchere a tre mendous cheer broke from the Irish and radical benches. The government tell ers looked pale, especially Chief Whlp- ples. All the ministers looked downcast while Balfour smiled Ironically, A manifesto issued by the National Reform Union tonight calls for deter mined efforts to establish the self-government of the British people upon a truly democratic basis and by the aboil tlon of the house of lords. Previous to the vote on the question of abolishing the house of lords, after the chief tecre tary for Ireland, Right Hon. John Mor ley, had replied to the references of Bal four in the house yesterday, John H Redmond, Parneljte leader, said hf. sympathized with Mnrley's humlllutlns position on explaining Lord Roscbery's utterances, and added that lie must ex press dissatisfaction at the recent dec larations of the ministers. Joseph Chamberlain followed Ked mond. He believed It Impossible ttut Rosebery had accepted the leadership of the party to betray 11. When he closed, Labouchere moved un amend ment abolishing the power enjoyed -by persons not elected to paillament tc prevent bills from balug submitted to her majesty, and he expressed the hope that If necessary her majesty, with the advice of the ministers, would use her power to secure the passage of this much-needed reform. He suggested that this object could early be achlaved by creating 600 peers who would vote for the extinction of the house of lords. Sir William Harcourt said he could not understand the process by which Mr. Labouchere reckoned to achieve his object. Labouchere said he had a list of 500 stalwarts' who were pledged to vote for the abolition of the house of lords If they were sent. The division on Labouchere's amendment was then taken, and the cheering which followed the announcement of the result lasted fully a minute. Some me.nbers acted in a most frantic manner. Tho result of the division was a surprise, not only to the government, but to many to who had voted In favor of the amendment. Several of the latter avowed tlnilr ob ject In supporting the amendment mere- ly to give a good division ngnlnst the house of lords. MARRIED AGAIN. St. Louis. March 13. Th mrrf Charles Hart McLean the millionaire adopted son of the late Dr. J. H. Mc Lean, of this city, of patent medicine fame, and Miss Maud Brandreth, of Haylake, Birkenhead, England, wan celebrated yesterday near Llnksvlew, a suburb of Liverpool, England. This matrimonial alliance not only in volves the proverbial union of "two hearts that beat as one," but unites two fortunes of millions and marks a de lightful consummation devoutly to be wlnhed by the contracting parties. Young McLean has been a St. Loul boy all his life and, as n only heir, in herited the Immense fortune that tils Highest of all in Leavening Tower. Latest U. S. Gov't Report i A l-wat.;-. adopted father accumulated In this city upon his death not many years ago. His adopted mother died several years prior to his adopted father's demise. After the loss of both parents "Hart," as he Is generally called, took a two years' course at medicine. While- attending college "Hart" met and married Miss Daisy Adams, a modest and beautiful maiden of little more than 16 years. For nearly three years Mr. and Mrs. McLean delighted the society of St. Louis, of which they were affable mem bers. Popular and kindly disposed, their path in life seemed a halo of bliss and happiness. But good fortune had smiled too often, upon the respective lots of this young couple, and last summer one year ago the bright and buxom little) school-girl of not long ago joined the great ma jority beyond the saintly sphere. A grief-stricken little home and a widower at 24 were 'the conditional that confronted "Ha-t" at this time. A year passed by,- but nothing of an eventful ' nature characterized his lonesome and cheerless career. Last 'summer ,how ever, McLean and young Reber, who . was at the time the' champion broad Jumper of the United States, concluded to mnke a trip abroad, with the Isle of Britain as their objective point. Though "Hart" had an income of $500 a week and nothing to worry him but his ast fortune and the loss of his wife, he dis posed .f $83,t00 worth of -Washington avenue property and with his com panion embarked on his Journey .-ast. Passage was secured on the Teutonic after arriving In New York city, and the two travelers soon sot sail. There was a lone school girl aboard the vessel. . " Before the dock' at Liverpool waa reached, "Hart" had learned to love this lone school girl, had proposed and ' was accepted. Mr. and Mrs. McLean will spend thelf' honeymoon In St, Louis. After enjoying pleasant and hasty Journey to the continent, they will return to England' to remain an indefinite length of time, , although their residence in this city will not be abandoned.
