The house bill to protide for the. p?r> libation of the eleventh census was taken from the senate calendar Monday and Jjwe?. tm presenting concurrent, reso? lutions of the legislature of South Dako? ta for a constitutional amendmeo t to hate United States senators elected bj the people Mr, ?ekigrew said b view pf the fact that the l?gislature h ad been . for Several weeks endeavoring to elect a United States senator and failed to do BO, be was heartily in favor of the new t>lan. The sundrt civil appropriation bill was taken up, being open to general amendment. Its consideration occupied the remainder of the day. After an ex? ecutive session tile senate adjourned,. Io the senate, Tuesday, the credentials of William Lindsay, as senator from Ken 1 t??fcy., in place of Mr., Carlisle ? resigned, were presented and . read. ^ Then" Mr. Lindsay wai escorted to .the vice presi? dent's de?k where he tock the oath of office. The credentials of William V. Allen as senator from the. state of Ne? braska from the 4th of March next, in piaceof Mr. Paddock, were presented and placed on nie. Consideration of the sundry civil appropriation biil was pro? ceeded with, the pending ame nd rh'en ts being, those offered by Messrs. Manderson and vest in regard to the .site for the government printing ? nice building. That subject occupied two hours of the .session and the result was that vari ods propositions in regard to it were voted down and that ho provision at all was made for the building. An? other subject which gave rise to rather a heated discussion, was one in reference to the expense of the Soldiers1 Home ; and that discussion drifted natur? ally to the question of pensions, and a possible deficiency in the revenue from excessive appropriations. Ali amend? ments increasing appropriations for the soldiers' homes were agreed to. , The senate; Thursday morning, pro? ceeded to the consideration of the diplo? matic' and consular appropriation bill. There was no item in the bill that gave rise to any contest or discussion. As quickly as the clerk could read a bill it was passed. The military academy ap? propriation bili was then taken up. The house appropriations committee by unan? imous vote authorized Chairman Hol? man to move non- concurren ce in all the senate amendments to the sundry civil bill and agree to the request for a conference thereon. This includes the Sherman S per cent, bond amendment. The committee's action was taken to ex? pedite the bill. It is in ?he power of any member of the house to send the bill to the committee of the whole for consider? ation separately of each amendment. The silver men will insist before the bill goes to conference on a vote of the house on the bond amendment. Mr. Dockery was authorized to move non-concurrence in all the senate amendments to the leg? islative bill. THE HOUSE. Io the house Monday, after an hour consumed in unavailing filibustering, Mr. Geary, from the committee on commerce, moved to suspend the rules and pass the New York and New Jersey bridge bill. The bill passed without the yeas and nays. Tuesday morning; the house in com? mittee resumed consideration of the post office appropriation bill. The pending section was that appropriating $196,104 for the necessary and special facilities of trunk lines from Springfield, Mass., via New York and Washington to Atlanta and New Orleans. Mr. Dickerson of? fered an amendment striking out the name of terminal point. It was not intended to aid railroads in need of assistance, but it was for the pur? pose of carrying out the objects of the pest office in regard to the expedition o foreign mills to and from Havana. Mr Hooker defended the appropriation made in the bill. Mr. Hemphill spoke on the same line. Mr. Wise said that while he had not opposed the appropriation, he was not in favor of it as it was now made. Mr. Blourtt, of Georgia, speak? ing in support of the motion to strike out the appropriation, said that among the masses of the people there was a de? sire for special mail facilities. But there was a voice. It was a voice coming from the south, north, east and west which spoke deep and loud. That voice was for the retrenchment of public expenditures, and the reduction of taxation which was impoverishing the country. The propo? sition now made was to give a railroad system, which was already receiving more than $4,000,000, $196,000 addi? tional. He protested against ic. Mr. DickersonV amendment was rejected. On motion of Mr. Dingley, an amendment was adopted providing that none of the appropriation for special mail facilities should be expended unless the postmas? ter general should deem such expendi? ture necessary ia order to promote the postar service. Then the hour fixed for the consideration of the car coupler bill haviog arrived, the committee rose and Mr. Wise moved that the senate amendments thereto l e concurred in. Filibustering against the bill at once began, led by Mr. Richard - -on, of Tennessee. After some time Mr. Wise demanded the previous question OD concurring io the senate amendment. Agreed tc-184 to 34. Progress went ito further, however, for the time, parli mcntary maneuvers preventing. The house of representative ? hid a. be? draggled look Wednesday morning. It was in session all night - adjourning at 7 o'clock and meeting again ai ll. Thc afternoon and night were spent n?i blistering to prevent the passage of the car-coupler bill. An agre* ment was finally reached to consider the matter Monday at the morning session. Not more than two do??n members were in attendance Tvhen thc house met. Mr. Kilgore,before the reading of the journal,madethe point of order that no quorum was present. Pending the roli call Mr. Kiigore with? drew the po:nt,and the journal was read. On motion of Mr. Jones, of Virginia, the ?l??ate bill was passed appropriating ^11,000 out of the appropriations hereto? fore made for the construction of a wharf by which access can be had to the monu? ment designating the birthplace of George Washington. The postoffiee ap? propriation bili scored a victory over the ?nti-option bill motion to consider the former being carried by a more than two thirds vote. The post office appropria? tion passed with special mail facilities ap? propriation included in it. Mr. Peal with indian appropriation bill, and Ha1 ch with anti-option bill then sought recog? nition on a rising vote. Peel won by 102 rotes to 31. Mr. Hatch demanded the yeas and nays. The house appropriation committee, Thursday, by a uauaimous vote au? thorized Chairman Holman to move con? currence in all the senate amendments to the sundry civil bill, and agree to a request for a corference thereon. This includes the Sherman three per cent, bond amendment. The committee's j i" action is taken to expedite the bill. It | ! is in the power of any member of the ! t house to send the bill to the com- j mitiee of the whele for consideration j separately of each amendment. The sil- , , ver men will insist before the bill goes to | \ conference on a vote of the house on the j ( bond amendment. Mr. Dockery was au- j e thorized to move non concurrence in all js the senate amendments to the legislative bill. The sundry civil appropriation bill; with th? senate amendments, was before f .the house and referred to the committee i oa appropriations. Mr. Bland gave a significant suggestion that the com? mittee, on appropriations should re? port it back at as.early ax day as poV sible, as he intended to have, the senate amendments fully and fairly discussed in committee of the whole.. Mr. ?dthwaite called up the report, on the army appro? priation bill, and while he was explain? ing the measure Hi Ii arv A. Herbert en? tered th? hall and modestly leaned over the screen in the fear of tHe chamber. But he could not escape the eyes that were in search of him, and tHe house spontaneously broke into applause and cheers; which lasted several moments, and which evidently came from the heart Mr. Ruthwaite; smil? ing; . bowed to Herbert and yielded him five minutes of his time. And so Mr. Herbert was Com? pelled to cotfie forth from1 his retirement, fie waa deeply moved by the cordial re? ception given him, and his voice quiver? ed as he said : 'The reception from men with whom I have associated sud whom I haye known, so Jong touches niy heart in a manner that I have no words to ex? press. I can only say that I thank yon from the "bottom of my heart." This short speech was greeted wjth long and loud applause, and then Mr., Htfbert held a levee in the rear of the nail. The conference report was agreed to. Mr. Peel moved that the house go into a com? mittee of the whole for the consideration of the general appropriation bills. This motion was antagonized by Mr. Hatch, who wished a consideration of the an'.i opiion bill. Mr. Peeled .motion pre? vailed. *i"eas, 155; nays, To; and con? sideration; The Indian appropriation bill was then resumed. CAPITAL GOSSIP. Vice President and Sirs. Morton h?ve iss?ed invitations to a reception to meet the vice president-elect and Mrs. Ste? venson Wednesday, March 1st. The celebration of Washington's birth' day in the capital was greatly curtailed by the severity of the, weather. In Washington's own town; the neightjoring city of Alexandria, the celebration was entirely confined to the public schools. Recent events in the west indicate that democrats will have enough members in the next senate to reorganize that body without outside aid. Still, if that aid mould become neccessary it is pretty well settled that the populist senators will vote with the democrats. Mr. Peffer ias given utterance to such a statement. The senate has removed the injunction >f secrecy from the confirmation of Judge Fackson to be an associate justice of the supreme court of the United States, and las also confirmed the following nomi? nations: G. H. shields, of Missouri, igent of the United States under the j ? reaty for the claims commission between ? he United States and Chile, August 7, j ^892; A. W. Furgeson, of the District of ! : Columbia, secretary on the part of the j f ame commission. It Pleases the West* The appointment of J. Sterling MON on, of Nebraska, as secretary of agricul? ture meets with general approval among he democrats in Washington. Repre entative Brian, of Nebraska, says Mr. ?I or ton has been identified with the history if his state since territorial days and is moog the most illustrious of her citizens. Ie has been a tariff reformer for many ears and has, at various times, been the kmocratic candidate for governor, sen? ior and congressman, though always de eated. The senate spent several hours Wed icsday afternoon in executive session on be Hawaiian treaty. Senator Morgan, ne of the members of the Behring sea rbitrating board for the United States, lade a s'rong plea for the annexation of he Hawaii islands, a plea that he has requently made on the floor of the sen? te when the doors were not closed. The peech is spoken of as a masterly effort nd ose of the greatest this distinguished enator and member of the foreign affairs ommittee has yet made on the subject ?f the foreign policy of the United ?tates. lerfcCTt's Appoint ment ?ires Satisfaction. The announcement from Lakewood ?Vedntsday night that Colonel Hilary A. lerbert, of Alabama, has been appointed ecretary of the navy, meets with the ap? proval of members of both houses of ongre&s. The appointment was dis? missed about the hotels and all the outfhem members express themselves s very much pleased. Colonel Her? bert has been a member of the house or sixteen years. He bas made auch reputation as chairman of the ?ouse naval committee by his earnest vork towards building up a great Amer c n navy. Colonel Herbett is popular vith the members of the house and his ippointment will have a decided tenden ;y towards neutralizing the sting the ap? pointment of Judge Gresham inflicted ipon the members of thc house. It is )e!ieved that he will be a strong factor n bri aging Mr. Cleveland and the house n o closer relations than recent even's vould indicate they will occupy.

Bradstreet's review of tr?'de tot the past week says: Features of the general j trade situation this week include a check to business South and in portions of thc West and North, because of unfavora bl? weat?er resulting in bad roads. The leading grocery staples, grain, Cotton, ! pork, low grades of cattle aud hogs? are lower i? price, while advances ate noted in print cloths, leather, hidesj lard j sug? ar, white pine lumber, rubber goods and fegeriter jrig iron and steel at Pittsburg. The decrease of j cents ifl cotton prices appears, based on some unexpectedly free movement which points j unless th?fe should be a pc p'endicular drop in receipts ?oon, fo a crop of not far from 6,500,000 bales, instead of lower totals so vigorously advanced a few weeks ago. Telegrams from leading southern mar? kets agr?e that continued wet weather j has had an unfavorable effect on the gen j eral tr?de,- and milddy roadways have checked the movements of Commercial travelers as well as m'ercantil? collec? tions. At Nashville country merchin ts are making purchases in person rather more numerously than elsewhere, but Char.jscon, Memphis, Atlanta, Birming? ham and Galveston unite in reporting the other features mentioned. The car niv?l has int?rfer?d with the wholesale trad? at New Orleans. Depression in co?ton prices is reported responsible for some of ?he chefck t? trading On the part Of interior southern merchants. WHAT i>t7N sirs. R.G. Dun & Co's weekly review of business; says: The anxious efforts by banks for an issue of bonds by the treas? ury and the refusal of the president to aUtboriie ir? Caused apprehension and depression during most of the week, j [discretionary power was finally given to I Secretary Foster to issue bonds if it sho?ld become absolutely necessary, but it i? stated that hebelives no necessity ex? ists. Moreover, qiiite a large purchase of securities on foreign account, are reported, which would cancel heavy ad j verse merchandise ballances, and to that exten I prevent gold shipments. Outside of financial influences, the cours? 6'f business is undisturbed. Its volume is still large, though somewhat affected by recent storms, and there are fewer signs th?n Usual of uoso'urid or tin healthy, conditions, though at many poiots collections are somewhat slow. At most soiithern points business shows some improvement ?nd is fair for the season, though the movement of Cotton is small and prices are somewhat lower. In the iron trade no distinct improve? ment is seen, for while budines? is large, prices are entirely demoralized by the in? tense competition. Raiis are an excep? tion, for 75,000 tons have been sold without a reported change in price, and st. ..ctural works are well employed, though at very low prices, but the de? mand for plates is not up to the capacity of the works, and bar iron is quiet and weak. The financial outlook depends largely upon this fact that exports of principal products in January were $29,000,000 smaller than last year, while imports at New York alone were $17,000,000 larg? er than last year, which indicates a considerable excess of imports for the month, and explains the heavy outgo of ?old. In February thus far, exports ir.im New York have been but little below last year's, though at cotton ports very much smaller, and mean? while imports show an enormous in? crease-over 30 per cent. . The excess of imports over the exports seems to have more to do with shipments of gold at present thsn any anxiety about currency, which, nevertheless, renders investors extremely cautious and orders miry from new enterprises. But those who dread disaster may well note the healthy char? acter of trude and the unusual conserva? tism of buyers, and remember the rule, that a panic that is expected never comes.

A New York special says : Wall street was treated again Monday to a continua? tion cf enormous liquidation io Reading, and transactions in that stock were even greater than on the preceding two days of the break, very closely t pproximating a million shares in that one stock alone. Further concession in its prices were on a parity with the amount of business done, 8 5 8 per cent marking the extreme decline, and at the close it was only 2 per cent better, showing a net loss of 6 5-8 ] er cent for thc doy. A HEAVY DECLIN E. It early b came whispered that a re? ceivership must follow, and a decline of nearly 7 per cent, was established, but reassuring dispatches from Philadelphia started the covering of shorts, and a rally of over 2 per cent, was brought about. Thc official announcement of the fact followed, however, and a drop of 4 per cent-to the lowest price of the day - -was the immediate result. The excite? ment attending the enormous transaction was great indeed, but was not so pro? nounced as the immeuse figures would seem to indicate. Wall street is, as it were, a spectator of the contest, and seemingly has nothing to lose which ever party becomes the victor, and three days of extreme depression of Reading and its allied stocks, followed by a period of de? pression among thc Industrials, has fail? ed to cause a single failure ou the street. RECEIVERS APPOINTED. A Philadelphia special says: The af? fairs of the Philadelphia *hnd Rending Railway Company were brought into court late Monday afternoon. All day there were rumors on the street that re? ceivers Wire to be appointed. Officers of the United States court wi re constant? ly besieged by newspaper men and par? ties interested in Reading matters, who were ec ger to obtain the Ias4 news. About 2:30 oclock Monday afternoon Attorney John Gr. Johnson and Lawyer Thomas Uart, Jr., made thci" appear? ance and were closeted a long time with Judge Dallas in chambers. At 4 o'clock thc announcement was made that Judge Dallas had made the appointment. Thc receivers appointed arc Archibald A. McLeod, president of the company, Chief Justice Edward M. Paxson, of thc supreme court, and Elisha Wilber, ex president of the Lehigh Valley Railway Company. Judge Paxson at once sent in hid resignation as chief justice of the supreme court of Pennsylvania to Gov-. crnoT Pattison. The security of each re? ceiver was fixed at $500,000 for which they are to enter their own bond. BANK PRESIDENT A FORGER. A Lincoln, Nebraska, National Bauk Goes Under. A special from Lincoln, Neb., says that another lot of forged paper aggre? gating $200,000 on the national bank has been brought to light in that city. A batch of notes now in the hands of attorneys for collection for eastern banks, amouting to $173,0o0, signed by an ex-employe of Mobber, named Hurl hurt, and endorsed by Musher as pres? ident of the national bank, were tloated by Mosher the money squandered by him. Moaner admits that he got the cash ?>nt refuses to say where it went. The bank was opened Thursday for tba purpose of admitting creditors to file theil claims and windup its business.

Assistant Cashier of Gate City National Banic o? Atlanta Defanlts ; Ana the B?nk is Forced to ( Jose Its Doors in Consequence. Lewis Redwine, the assis!ant cashier of the Gate City National bank, of At? lanta. Ga., is a defaulter to the amount of $65,000, and his whereabouts are un? known. Wednesday morning f Clear? ing House association, of nieh the Gate Cit^ bank isa memo? heida meeting for the purpose of ascertaining thc Gatte City bank's condit on and in? quiring into the amount of Ked wine's shortage. The following official state? ment was made: "As* near fits we can ascertain Mr. Red win?'s shortage will amount to about sixty-five thousand dollars, certainly not over that amo?nt. We have not cjuite finished our work, but have gone far enough to say that the G.ite City bank can pa? the depositors every doliar it owe* them, and also pav its stockholders in full. Redwine must have taken fifty of the sixty-five thousand dollars within the last two days, and may have walked out of the bank with a roll of several thousand dollars. How the defalcation was made we have been unable to dis cover? and the bank officials think it may have beeu carried on for years. Now about the bank's condition, we wish to say that the surplus amouots to fifty thousand dollars and the undivided profits to thirteen thousand. This, with the bond for ten thousand, makes seve?ty-th?ee thousand, or about eight thousand over aod above the defalcation. The bsnk is all right, and can pay every? thing lt owes." The way in which the defalcation was discovered is this: When Redwine knew that the bank examiner was in the I city he borrowed, as he had the right to ! do as a Cashier,- about twenty-five thou? sand dollars from the other banks, which I is often done. Thi9 covered the short? age up. Thc fact of his borrowing the money was mentioned in some way to President Hill. The investigations made by Mr. Hill led him to see that Redwine was short to a large amount. REDW?NE ESCAPES. While the 889istant cashier wa* work? ing at his de9k Mr? Hill sent for him to come into his private office. Redwine replied that he would be in there in a moinent, as soon as he had finished run? ning tip a column of figures. When through with this Work the young rifan, without his hat,- stepped out into a back hall and went do wn stairs into the saloon underneath the bank. Un? der pretense of going out upon the street fora few moments he borrowed from the bartender a hat, he made his way ont of the saloon and disappeared in a most mysterious manner. Although the most diligent search has been made by the police and detective department for him nothing has been heard of him since. The announcement that he was short in his accounts and had left the city to escape arrest fell like a thunder clap among his friends, for he has always borne the best of reputations and has been one of the shining lights in the so? cial world. His downfall is attributed to the fact that he aspired to be a leader in the social circles and lived beyond his mean?. It is said that Red wine's crooked ways began four of five years ago, but he has managed by a skillful manipulation of the funds and figures in his keeping, to cover up his tracks. The investigation of the bank's books j showed Redwine's defalcation to be i about $*5.000. The withdrawal from their cash supply of such a sum of money rendered the continuation of business impossible. The bank affairs will be closed up by an agent of thc United States government, who will be appoint? ed by the comptroller of the currency, according to the national bank act. At II o'clock Wednesday night President Hill telegraphed Comptroller Heph, at Washington to take charge of the bank. This means that the business of the b ink will be closed up at onee. The deposi? tors will receive their money as quickly as thc assets of the bank can be realized on. At 12 o'clr-ck Wednesday night Pres? ident Hill gave out the following an? nouncement : To the Public and Depositors with the Gate City National Bank-f he serious defalcation of our late assistant cashier, Mr. Louis Redwine, having so depleted our supply of cash, we do not feel warranted in attempting to continue business, but deem it for the bast interests of both depositors and shareholders to close our doors and ask the comptroller of the currency to take charge of the bani and its affairs. While wc regret more than we express the necessity for this 6tcp. and more especially the inconvenience to which our depos? itors and patrons will be subjected, Wf> are cheered by the conviction that it will take but a very short time for their claims to be paid in fn?l. With thanks unspeakable to our many friends for their assurances of ccnlidence and support, we regretfully vicki to the misfortune which we could not avert. L. J. HILL, President. A. W. HILL.

A Topeka special says: After a con? sultation Friday morning, which lasted i over three hours, Governor Lewelling signed the peace agreement between him and the republican house of representa? tives. News of the settlement of the revolution was received ia the republican hall with the wildest demonstration of joy. The terms of peace are a complete back-down by the governor, and the re? publicans claim that they have gained all that they ever demanded. The decision of the courts is now awaited with great anxiety. The populists nre very much discouraged at the turn affairs have taken, and are abusing the governor for agree? ing to the terms of peace. Many of the leaders say that they will not obey the. supreme court if it decided against them. TERMS OF AGREEMERT. The agreement proposes to give the j republicans undisputed possession of the ! representative hail with all its appurten ance and connecting rooms. Therepub licans to agree not to make any further j arrests of the populist house officers for I contempt. The populists were to con- j tinue their meeting in a hali down town. The governor was to remove the militia force of deputies. The governor is tc abide the decision of the supreme court before which two cases are now pending. TROOPS ORDERED BACK Immediatetely after the agreement had been signed, dispatches were sent out by Au jutant General Artz, ordering all troops now en route to the capit il to re? turn to their homes. The populists also loaded down the wires with messages to their supporters that all occasion for their presence in Topeka had pa-sed for the time being. POPULISTS INDIGNANT. Some of the populists from out-of-town are inclined to be decidedly ugly over the turn affairs have taken, contending that the governor should have held his own until the republicans were either starved out or driven out of the statehouse. Among the citizens, however, there is a feeling of profound relief that the crisi? has been averted without bloodshed, end the good name of the state is not to be disgraced by open civil war.

C., dispatch of Wed? nesday says: The Union Store Companv, of New York, which established five al? liance stores in this state, has not found the business pron i table and the agencies have been sold out to the managers.

THE CABINET COMPLETE. T?e Frefti?-EM Mate Official Al? menen of tiie Fact Herbert for the Navy and Olney for Attorney General. A special dispatch from Lakewood, ?7. J., says: Hr. Cleveland announced Wed? nesday evening that he had completed his cabinet by the selection of Richard Olney, of Boston, for attorney general and Hilary A. Herbert, of Alabama, for secretary of the navy. The complete cabinet is as follows : Walter Q. Gresham, of Illinois, secre? tary of state, John G. Carlisle, of Kentucky, secre? tary of the treasury.

Herbert for the navy has been expected for severs? days, but Mr. Olney ?s name had not been mentioned in connection with the cabi? net and his selection is a surprise to everybody, particularly to the ferros of George A. Jenks. Hilary A. Herbert has been in congress for many years and has acted as chairman of the naval com? mittee of the house. He is thoroughly familiar with the work that has been done toward placing the United States navy on a proper footing and his knowl? edge of the present condition of vessels under construction and which have been planned makes him a most desirable man for the head of the department. His se? lection is practically a promotion. Richard Olney ia one of the leading practitioners of the Massachusetts bar. He has not held any political position or been prominent in political matters, but is known as one of the leading lawyers and substantial citizens of Boston. His selection gives New England a represen? tative in the cabinet and that of Mr. Herbert gives the south three positions.
