There was an fho of ycsler lay's stormy session in the crista t.tday, when Tillman presented hi resolution directing a aenatorinl in vestigation into the removal of Mrs. Minor Morris from the white house. The resolution provoked nu debute, and Tillman contented himself with a hriel statement, in which he mud that ho would not have introilncd the resolu tion hut for the taunt of Hale. When lie concluded, Daniel moved that the resolution he laid on the tahle, and thin disposition wan made of it by a vote of M to H.

Wednesday, January 17. Washington, Jan. 17. Tlm recent forcible removal from the white house of Mrs. Minor Morris was made the subject of emphatic denunciation by Tillman In the senate today. Ilia re maika called out remonstrances from Hale, Hopkins and Daniel, and led to the very' abrupt closing of the doors and the sudden adjournment of the senate in the middle of the afternoon. The speech abounded in Tillman's pe culiar expressions, and was character ized by many severe and exceptionally personally thrusts at the president. At times lie wept over what he regarded as the indignities tu the lady, and his voice and eyes were full of tears when he declared, in the face of protests from tils fellow senators, that lie would de mand an investigation of the white house incident.

The bill provides for an as nayer and melter at $2,350; chief clerk at $1,400, and authorizes an annual expenditure of $15,000 in payment of salaries to assay employes, including the ofllcials named.

HALLS OF CONGRESS house Secretary Metcalf, of the de partment of ('ominerce and Labor, to day sent to the house the report of Special Immigrant Inspector Marcus llranu, which deals at great length with the character of the immigrants coming to this country and the attitude of the Kuropean governments uon the matter. Mr. lirauri declares that he has incontrovertible evidence that, while the number of aliens shipped to this country who are legally inadmissi ble due to disease is dimiulsliing, Im migrants inadmissible for other reasons are constantly brought into the coun try in large numbers "by the concerted action of some Kuropean government and steamship agencies, by hankers and schemers of ail sorts." Tuesday, January 10. Washington, Jan. l'l. The Phll'p pine tariff hill was passed by the house today substantially the same as it came from the ways and means committee. The vote was 25H to 71. Hice was made subject to the same tariff as sugar and tobacco - 2.ri per cent of the Ding Icy rates and one or two changes wcro made as to the language. Washington, Jan. lfi. Unexpectedly the senate today found itself consider ing the railroad rate question, which was precipitated by Fulton's taking the floor to make a brief speech in explan ation of an amendment offered by him to the Dolliver hill, giving to courts of justice authority to modify orders rf the Interstate Cnmmcerce commission imposing an unreasonable rate. He bad not proceeded far when lie was switched from a general explanation of the terms of the provision to a defense of the principle which it seeks to es tablish, and a general debate of the bill followed. The merchant marine bill was then laid before the senate and tiallinger urged early attention to thin subject. Scott spoke in support of the hill. The pure food lull was then taken up and a number of committee amend ments were agreed to. Hepburn gave notice that after the conclusion of the routine morning business tomorrow he would ask the senate to tlx a day for taking a vote on the bill. Monday, Jan. 15. Washington, Jan. 15. Senator Ha con tixlay suceeded in seenring an open discussion of the Moroccan question by the senate. This result was accom plished by the introduction of a reso lution making a declaration against in terference on the part of the United States in any controversy among Kuro pean nations concerning their internal affairs. The broad scope of the resolu tion relieved it from the point of order made on the Moroccan resolution, and, notwithstanding that Hacon referred freely to the Moroccan conference, no cfTort wan made to put him off. He spoke at length in opposition to the policy of interference in Kuropean in ternal complications, pointing out the possibility of disastrous consequences, and his address brought out a number of questions and interruptions to relieve the proceeding of the characterization of a set speech. A number of senators made short spiMH'hes against the resolution and in the end it was referred to the committee on foreign relations, and the merchant marine b'll was laid before the senate. Uidlingcr offered a number of amend ments to the hill, which were agreed to. The amendments related principal ly to the naval militia proposed by the bill. A bill introduced by Srnoot, giving to homesteaders on the recently opened Uintah reservation an extension until May, 15, IDOti, to establish residences was pained. . Washington, Jan. 15.

Stevens Testifies on Canal. Washington, Jan. HI. Chief Engin eer Stevens, of the Panama Canal coin mission, appeared before the senate in vestigating committee today. He talk ed of conditions on the isthmus, dis missing sanitary, labor ditliculties and questions of like character, dealing with the administration of canal affairs, with greater detail and freedom than in his published report. He denied the stories being circulated of alleged im portation from the United States of women into the canal zone for immorla purposes. Newlands Airs His Scheme. Washington, Jan. 15. The senate committee on interstate commerce met today, but there was not a quorum present, and, after an jn formal discus sion, adjournment was taken until Tuesday.

DOWIE IS DEPOSED Business Affairs Taken Out of Hands of Prophet. WAS NtCESSARV TO AVERT RUIN Appointment of Triurrvirate Dowie's Accession to Demands of Fol lowers and Creditors. Chicago, Jn. IK. John Alexander Dowie has been permanently removed from financial control of the Zion City industries, according to assurances giv en the big creditors by the financial agents of the community. The ap pointment of the triumvirate, with great ostentation, it in mow declared, merely cloaked Dowie's accession to the demands of Zion City and its creditors that all business arrangements be tak en from his hands, leaving him religi ous leader only. The awakening of the people of Zion has come at last, according to one of the large creditors in Chicago today. "They have been open in saying," he declared, "that they awoke too late and found tint in Dowie they had something in the nature of a cross be tween a 'white elephant and 'the old man of the sea' hitched on them. "Dowie has squandered money in a most profligate manner," said this creditor. "His trip around the world cost over $1,000,000. He drew on the treasury for it. The trip to New York cost half as much. It wan given out that the followers paid their own ex penses. This was hardly true. The recent trip to Mexico was another ex pensive luxury for the eld man. He spent thousands there. And for all these expenditures all Zion City has got out of it lias been a few pale fire works. "The fact of the matter is that cred itors have been promised for months that if they were lenient Zion's officials would get the old person out of the way." HER NEW PRESIDENT. France Elects Fallieres, Leader of Radical Elements. Paris, Jan. 18. Clement Armand Fallieres, president of thi eenate, was today elected president of the republic, to succeed Emile Loubet. His only rival was M. Doumer, president of the chamber of deputies. The total vote in the national assembly, consisting of the senate and chamber of deputies meeting jointly, was 849, and the vote was: Fallieres, 449; Doumer, 371; scattering, 28; not voting, 1. Although several candidates were mentioned for the presidency in suc cession to M. Loubet, including M. Fallieres, president of the senate; M. I) miner, president of the chamber of deputiee; M. Sarrien, ex-minister of justice; and M. I .eon Bourgeois, the former premier, the real contest was between M. Fallieres and M. Doumer. M. Fallieres had the support of the ad vanced Socialist and Radical groups, constituting the famous party which sustained the Combes ministry. M. Doumer, however, was a formidable opponent, whose election to the presi dency of the chamber of deputies last year, after breaking away from his former connection with the famous par ty previouely referred to, gave the first blow to M. Combes. When the first figuress were given out, there was an outburst of enthusi asm, which was renewed after the cor rected figures, giving Faillieros 449, thus increasing his already clear major ity, were announced. M. Fallieres returned t Paris from Versailles, escorted by a military guard of honor. He will take-over his new duties February 18. Castro Buying Machetes. Havana, Jan. 18.

The Com mercial club committee havjng In charge arrangement for the "See Americal First" conference in this city, January 25 and 20, announces that rep resentation ia now assured from all the trans-Misbissippi states and from Du- luth in the North to New Orleans on j the South. I kittle keon ira pahriotirn The Count de Itochnmhcau hnd lxen n gnllnnt soldier of France long be fore he wan assigned by the French government to aid the cnuse of the American revolu tionists. He had fought at the siege of Maeatrlct; he had led bin regi ment to the assault of Fort Ht. Philip pe, at Minorca; he had led In the cap ture of Fort Ma hon. Always a sol dier, he was heart and soul In sympa thy with the strug 1K HOCHAWrtKAU. gle of the Americans agnlnat the heary oddn of the Biitlah army. On his way to America after his em barkation at ttreat he was attacked by a British fleet off Bormna'a, but drove back the attackers. Immediate ly after landing In Rhode Island, Uo crmmbeau set about the construction of fortification that prevented 8!r Henry Clinton and Admiral Arbuthnot from making an attack that they had planned. He snt his own son back to France to negotiate for the transmission of more troops and supplies. He had the name Interest In the cauae of the revo lutionist that the American generals had. The work of De Rochambeau In the war did rnnch to hanten the lagging end. The concerted plan of campaign that terminated in Yorktown was largely aided by the efficacy of the Frenchman. iThe assaults made by De Kochamheau' and St. Simon against hla stronghold convinced Corawallis of the futility of his defense and led to hla surrender. THE DEMOCRATIC LEADER. Strlktn Personality of John Sharp Wllllnm, of MUalaalppt. One of the most Interesting men of the country today and a most bril liant figure In the political arena Is John Sharp Wil liams, who repre sents the Eighth District of Missis sippi In the House of Congress. Rep resentative W 1 1 llams, In his ca pacity as tht lead er of the Demo crats on the floor of Congress, has achieved a national reputation. That JOH.1 S. WILLIAMS. he won a signal victory by bringing or der out of chaos among the Democrat ic representatives goea without say ing. The Democratic leader was born July SO, 18M. at Memphis, Tenn., his mother having died, and hla father, who was colonel of the Twenty-seventh Tennessee Volunteers, Confeder ate States Army, being killed at Shl loh, and Memphis, being threatened with capture by the Federal army, his family removed to his mother's family homestead in Yazoo County. Miss. There the future leader received his education at private schools, the Kentucky Military Institute, near Frankfort, Ky the University of the South, at Sawenee, Tenn the Univer sity of Virginia, and the University of Heidelberg, in Baden, Germany. Sub sequently Congressman Williams studied law uuder Profs. Minor and Southall at the University of Vir ginia, and In the office of Harris, Me Klslck & Turley In Memphis, In 1S77 he received a license to practice In the courts of law and chancery of Shelby County, Tenn. In December, 1878, he removed to Yazoo City, Miss., where he engaged In the practice of h!a pro fession and the varied pursuits of a cotton planter. He waa named as a delegute to the Chicago convention which named Cleveland and Steven son. He waa elected to the Fifty-third Congress and has been re-elected to every Congress since, sometimes with out opposition. Williams' methods as a leader are Interesting to study. He Is persuasive, not domineering. He has a winning manner and he seems to be seeking help and light from one at the very time he Is bringing a person arouud to hla views. Congressmen who go Into his little room In the library wing de termined to let Williams know that they will put up with no nonsense go out pleased and flattered and inclined to help hhu out. On the rare occa sions when It la necessary for him to show his authority the irou hand comes out of the velvet glove and the Insurgent knows what has happened without having anyone tell him. Williams la not an Impressive man to look at; In fact, he Is homely in face and careless In dress. A tangled mass of matted hair falls down to a point not far from his eyes. A straggling mustache covers a mouth of generous size and Irregular outline. Hla manners are as easy and unpre tentious as an old shoe. He would not be a rich man in New York, but he Is In Mississippi. He Is a lawyer and a planter, whose father left him a fortune. He does not loo If, however, as If he had a dollar, and all the advice of his friends cannot make him spruce up. Williams has a remarkable voice. It la somewhat nasal and rather Incisive, but his command of it is aa perfect as that of a musician over a musical in -. : t strument, lie plays on It like a violin; It sweep from high to low, from loud to soft, In perfect tune with the modu lations' of his theme. He need hnnlly apeak above a whisper to attract the close and strained attention of the whole House In a moment. Hla command of sarcasm U, It la generally agreed, uncqunlcd In th( I louse. It Is not of the bitter sort, but Wllllnrnu' exposes of the wenk points of the enemy's armor In such a way that the enemy Inughs, though ruefully, while he writhes. Though a Southerner, Williams Is cuernpt from the prejudice of his sec tion. One of his striking speeclioi was that In which he defended (Jen. Sherman from the charge of violating the laws of war In the march to the sea. It wan a remarkable address and was listened to with breathless atten tion by the crowded House. One of his sentences was thin: "As an American citizen, as the son of a rebel soldier, as a man who U Intensely American, although he la In tensely Southern, I want the worlA to know that when civilized men were fighting civll!z"d men, upon the Amer ican continent one of them In behalf of the cause of the preservation of the Union, as he understood it, and the other In behalf of the cause of local independence, as he understood it the watchword was chivalry and fair fight." THE ARMY OF TEACHERS. 120,000 Men and 330,000 Wmn Knajaared la School" of Amtrtea. The army of education In the Unit ed States Is made up of 450.0W teach ers, of whom 120.CHJ0 are men and 830. (XX) women. The overwhelming ma jority of the teachers are native of the United States, lesa than 30,000 hav ing been born abroad one In fifteen. Most of tbo male teachers are be tween the years of twenty-five and thirty-five. The majority of the women teachers are between fifteen and twenty-five. There are 2.300 male teachers over sixty-five. There are less than 1,50(1 female teachers over sixty-five. Three times as many female as male teach ers are put down as "age unknown." There are 21,000 colored teachers In the United States, thus divided be tween the two sexes : 7,700 men and 13,300 women. There are 509 Indian teachers In the Indian schools of the United States 240 men and 200 wom en. The average age of teachers In the United States Is higher than In Eng land and lower than In Germany. The proportion of very youthful teachers la much greater In the country than In the city districts. The largest proportion of male teach ers Is to be found In West Virginia, where they number 50 per cent of the total. The largest proportion of wom en la to be found In Vermont, where they form 00 per cent of the whol number. The standard of education la very much higher In Vermont than It Is In West Virginia. The number of teachers In the Unit ed States has Increased greatly In re cent years. In 1871 there were 125,000 ; In 1880, 225,000; In 181)0, 340,000, and It Is at present 450,000. Mn, nooiTfll' ThonghtfalBM. When President Roosevelt la at hla summer homo at Oyeter Bay, two se cret service men sit all night under a big tree near the house. It Is only on very stormy nights that they desert the tree and take refuge on the veran da, and are thus protected from the rain, but not from the north wind that sometimes sweeps in from Long Is land sound. During a 6torm last sum mer the wind, moaning through the trees, drove the rain In sheets upon the veranda, and the most sheltered place the secret service men could find wan wet and chill. Within the house all was silent. Ap parently everybody had gone to bed. But suddenly the side door creaked, and a feminine voice called out : "Come here, won't you, please?" The secret service men lost no time In responding, for they recognized the voice. "I've been worrying about you men out lu this awful night," said Mra. Roosevelt, "and thought that some hot coffee would do you good. Come In and drink It. It was too late to call the cook, so I made It myself. I hope that It Is all right." "It seemed to me to be the finest coffee I had ever tasted," remarked the secret service man, when he told this little story of the ever-present thought fulness of Mrs. Roosevelt for those arouud her. Success Magazine. "HoumI Abe." It Is a significant fact that in a com munity where crime waa virtually un known, where plain, straightforward dealing was assumed as a matter of course, and credit was fearlessly asked and given, Lincoln won au enviable rej utatlon for Integrity and honor. In a moral atmosphere of this sort ordinary veractty aim fairness attracted no par ticular attention. Honesty waa not merely the best iollcy ; It was tne rule of life, and people were expected to be upright and Just with one another. But when a clerk In a country store walked miles to deliver a few ouucea of tea Innocently withheld from a customer by an error in the scales, and when he made a long, hard trip In order to return a few cents accidentally over paid htm, he was talked about, audi the fact Is ttiat "Honest Abe" waa tribute, not a nickname. Century. The average man so hates to eat away from home that when he la In vlted out, arrangements should be made for sending a fire alarm from his bouse at the time dinner la over, to call him home.
