Wordy Battle Precipitated.; "l
the House by Need
ROUSING RECEPTION TO CRISP
Biantl Gives Notice That on Tuesday
He Will Move to Pass iris Bill
Over the Teto
Associated Press.
Washington, March 30 When Speaker
Crisp ascended the rostrum today he
was given a rousing reception from the
members of both sides of the house, the
demonstration lasting fully a minute.
The battle of yesterday afternoon was
promptly renewed. by Mr. Reed on a
challenge of the correctness of the
Journal In failing to show Payne's point
of orden on the question of but one
teller acting. On a rising vote, the jour
nal was approved, and on a call of yeas
and nays the previous question was or
dered and debate limited to 15 minutes
on either side. After a speech by Reed
regarding the speaker's ruling yester
day, Reed's motion to amend the jour
nal was voted down. Reed's motion to
adjourn was decided out of order, and
tho speaker declined to entertain an
appeal and again refused to state the
ground of refusal, holding that no mem
ber has a right to inquire the grounds
of a decision any mo.re that a lawyer
naa 10 uemana the same thing of a
Judge.
"That loo..s very much like tyranny,'
remarked Reed, sarcastically.
The next episode was the overruling
of Boutelle's point of order that the
president's message vetoing the seign
iorage bill could not be read, the house
having made the contested election
cases the special order. A gain the
8eaker refused to entertain an appeal
The veto message was then read. Bland
gave notice that next Tuesday he would
move to pass the bill over the presi
dent's veto. During roll call on Bur
rows' motion to reconsider the vote by
which the house had declared Joy not
entitled to a seat, Reed, standing near
the clerk's desk, said he would like to
be permitted to see the roll call taken.
This was resented by the speaker, who
sharply ordered Reed to his seat and
directed the sergeant-al-arms to enforce
the order, as Reed did not move far
enough to suit.
This Is entirely unnecessary," re
plied Reed, looking the ppeaker in the
eye.
'It is not," replied the speaker, "in
stead of taking your seat you respond
every time."
"Certainly I do, because the chair has
attacked me," said Reed, now thorough
ly aroused. There seemed to be an cle
ment of personal hostility In the clash
between the two house leaders.
Later on the speaker protested thr.t
ho had not und?ratood Mr. Reed to
proffer a request for permission to stand
by the clerk's desk, and with this seml-
apolngy in explanation, the incident
clost-d. Roll call now disclosing the lack
of a quorum, the house recessed until 8
o'clock.
WAITE'S LATEST MOVE.
Denver, March 30. News leaked out
here tonight which leaves nr doubt that
Gov. Wait.; is preparing1 to call out the
troops again to enforce hl3 order re
moving Police Commissioners Orr end
Martin. The following special dlsiatch.
received by the Republican, tells the
story:
"Lake City, Col.. March 30, 1S94.
"W. H. Whlnney, Captain Ccmpany
A,' C. N. G. Received telefrraph orders
at 4 o'clock this evening to place ten
men under one officer at the armory lo
prevent eelzurp. Later evening orders
were received by Capt. Whlnney to 1
crult his company r 84 men for three
months' zervice. The orders both came
from Cel. Mcoy, of Pueblo."
GIVEN A HOLIDAY.
Judge Caldwell Orders That President
Clark Take ft Vacation.
Omaha, March 20. In the Union Pa
cific wage bearing; today Judge Caldwell
raid ha would rather the government I
should lone every dollar It- had inverted
than that the men should "'jfCer. He
would tee that the employes cf the com-j
pany cere property compensated, end
that their wages would not be cut lo
admit of the payment of dividends. '
President Clark, of the Union Pacific,
followed. He was not sworn, Judge
Caldwell saying It was unnecessary. He
was on the stand but a few moments,
his health being so feeble that he could
not stand the strain. In conclusion, the
court peremptorily ordered that Mr.
Clark to tako a vacation of several
months. "You shall not commit suicide
In the service of the company," said
Judge Caldwell. "We need you and the
country needs you. Fof six months we
will manage the line without you."
THE CONDITION iOF TRADE.
evidence of An Increase in Volume at
Eastern Cities.
New York, March 30. Bradstrcel's re
view of trade' will say: Features In the
business of the week- Include evidence
of Increased volumes of trade at eastern
cities, which are offest by checks to the
movement of staple merchandise at
other centers owing to storms and cold
weather, and much damage to crops
caused by unusually low temperature,
northwest and south. Portland, Ore.,
reports business Improving very slowly,
while at San Francisco the movement
of staples is sluggish. Wheat, 1 less
active for export.
R. G. Dun's Weekly Review of Trade
says: The more active tone in business
this week Is in part due to a belief that
no disturbance of the currency will be
permitted, but other causes helped the
forward improvement. Slowly, but yet
quite perceptibly, the force of work in
creases. Except in speculative markets,
prices do not recover, and In e:me in
stances have gone lower, but the ab
sence of sensational records Inspires the
hope that the bottom may have been
reached. Business, though dull, is ex
ceptionally cautious and safe, and Us
slow gain is more encouraging than the
heavy expansion. Failures for the week
number 230 in the United States, against
100 last year, and 30 in Canada, against
28 last year.
New York, March 30 Bradstreet'g
financial review tomorrow will say: The
revival of interest und activity In the
American department of the London
market Is, taken an one of the most
hopeful Indications that hns yet ap
peared.
THE SECOND CHAPTER.
Breiltenriilge Occupies the Attention of
Court During the Day.
Washington, March 30. Chapter two
of the story of the Breckenrldge case
was told today. It consumed the whole
session of court, and still the narrative
remains Incomplete. From the second
meeting at the Lexington house of as
signation kept by Sarah Guess, In 1884,
down to the late spring of 1893, the re
cital wound Its way along a path
stormy with pistols, illegitimate chil
dren, clandestine Interviews and secret
marriage, more of Intrigue than one
would suppose could be contained In the
life of such a mild-looking, elderly gen
tleman as the one who leaned over the
witness box and told It all In a matter
of- fact way, occasionally dropping In a
Jest. Before him sat the woman who is
willing to emulate Samson by dragging
herself down with the temple, und who
was the only disturbing factor In this
scene. Sho persisted In growing agi
tated, and once she made an outcry, de
manding to know why the defendant
could not tell the truth, but Judge
Bradley warned her firmly and kindly
that she must exercise control over her
self or leave the room. There Is a wealth
of detail In the defendant's story; he
binds It about him. with many extrane
ous matters and throws In an atmos
phere of high life over It, weaving In
with his meeting with Mies Pollard al
luslons to nicny political events in
which he has taken part; schools he has
addressed; confederate reunions he hat,
attended; banquets to which he ha
been calledas an honored guest; lauiet
he had taken to call on Mrs. Cleveland.

Vigor.
Associated Press. , 1
Wallace, Ida., March 30. Between
Gem and Burke, In the heart of the
Cour D'Alene mining district, yesterday
a series of snow slides rushed down
Into Canyon Creek, tearing everything
before them. As far as known, five per
sons were killed and three Injured. The
dead are: Stefans Derro, aged 29; his
wife, aged 25; their daughter Victoria,
aged 5; Martina Mlchele, aged 24, and
Mra Nellie Rowe. The bodies of Mrs,
Dcrro and daughter and Mrs. Rowe
have been recovered. It is reported that
two more men were killed, hut It can
not he confirmed. Arthur Swayne was
badly Injured, and may not recover. At
9:30 In the morning the slide started, 2,
000 feet above the creek, at the head ol
a draw, In which the Black Bear mine
Is situated. Four shanties were smashed
to pieces and burled under 40 feet of
snow. In one of these cabins the Derro
family and Mlchele lived. The entire
shifts of the Gem, Frisco and Standard
mines, about 200 men, were set to work
searching for the missing. The water
has risen, which greatly Interferes with
tho work of the searching party. The
Frisco mine lost about 1,500 feet of
Hume, and the damage Is otherwise very
heavy. The slide one mile from the
Gem covered both the Union and North
ern Pacific tracks to the top of the tele
graph poles for several hundred feet.
In other places the track is covered.
This will cut off communication with
the town of Burke and the Standard,
Tiger and Poorman mines for several
weeks. These three mines, employing
jlbout 600 men, have closed down. The
disaster In a serious blow to all the
mining camps Involved.

ly hurt, but will recover. The other
man, the woman and the child were
deid when found under the mass of
snow. The search Is being continued for
three or four more persons, supposed to
have perished. The Union Pacific track
for a distance of 600 or 800 feet Is cov
ered with 25 or 30 feet of snow. The
Northern Pacific, on the opposite side
of the canyon Is covered at a less depth
for a considerable distance. A number
of other slides In the vicinity are re
ported, but no further loss of life.
SNOWSLIDES ON THE UNION.
Tortland, Ore., March 30. Advices to
the Union Pacific from Idaho say six
snow slides occurred yesterday between
Burke and Black Bear, each from 1,000
to 2,000 feet in length end 100 to 200 in

encountered. The main topsail was car
ried away. While the men were aloft

ship, when the ballast shifted and the
ship listed. The men managed to reach
the deck, just as the vessel was over

away the weathet lanyards, and all the
masts went over the sides. The men
succeeded in climbing outside and cling
ing fci tho poop. To add to their ter
rors, lire broke out in the cabin, but It
was soon quenched. After much diffi
culty a life-boat was launched, and the
men were one by one hauled aboard the
boat. Fortunately, the ship John C. Pot
ter hove in sight, about a half hour
after the escajw?' from the vessel, and
responding to their signals of distress,
took tho men aboard and kindly cared
for them.
