the National Legislature.
A PRAYER FOR TEMPERANGB.
The Bllnd Chapluln’s Remarks Caused a
Demonstration—Programme For the
'Proposed Tariff Bill —- Vene-
~ zuola and the Treaty.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 12.—The house yes-
terday passed a bill to prohibit the sale of
liquor in the capitol, and today, at the
opening of the session, Rev. Cowden, the
blind chaplain, referred in his invocation
to that fact. “We thank thee, O Lord,”
said he, “that the house is no longer re-
spons‘ble for the liquor trafi'ic within the
halls‘ of the national capitol! Grant, we
pray thee, that the bill passed here yester-
day will go throughthe regular channels
and speedily become a law, never again to
be repealed in the history of our nation!”
The conclusion of the prayer was greeted
with an unusual demonstration. Half a
hundred members applauded vigorously,
but Speaker Reed promptly suppressed the
outburst. On motion of Mr. Dingley, the
floor leader, it was agreed that when the
house adjourned today it be to, meet on
Monday at noon. ‘
The 'oipt resolution extending until the
closé of this session the time in which the
joint commission ‘ for the investigation of
the subject of the rebate of the tax on alco-
hol used in manufactures or arts may re
port was adopted. The house then, on
motion of Mr. McMillln (Dem., Tenn),
went into committee of the whole for the
a
consideration of bills on the private calen-
dar.
Bills were passed to pay Peter Cook of
Arkansas 3905 for stores and supplies
taken by Federal troops during the war; to
pay Augustus P. Burditt $5,130 for the
use Of the steamboat Mattie during the
war.
To Change the Navy Law.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 12.-—Senator Turpio
of Indiana has prepared a number of
amendments which he intends to ofier to
the naval appropriation bill. If they should
prevail, they would materially change the
law relating to the 'navy. The amend—
ffi'ents are 5.53 follows:
“All appointees to the junior grade of
the pay corps of the navy shall be chosen
from grades of the United States Naval.
academy.
“ The laws relating to the army shall be
applicable to the navy as regards the age
of voluntary and compulsory retirement
and fraction Of pay when on the retired
list.
“In all commissions in the navy the
rank and relative rank of the officer shall
be stated.
“Appointment to the office of judge ad-
vocate general in the navy department
shall not continue limitedto officers of the
navy and to mariners, but lawyers (civil-
ians) are hereby made eligible thereto. ,
,“Any officer of the navy pleading with
that-department for any right. under a. law
or regulation shall, on application, receive
personal hearing by the secretary of the
navy and be therein confronted with the
judge advocate general. And no Obstruc-
tion or objection to any officer’s case shall
be used secretly, but shall be fully made
known to him by the navy department in
writing. -
“Any Oflicer who, when retired for dis-
ability, had not at the time suflioient evi—
dence available to show the disability as
result of incident of service, shall be al-
lowed to make good that deficiency before
the permanent retiring board.
“N 0 money herein appropriated shall,
after the next vacancy occurs in his grade,
be paid any Officer on the retired list un-
der the regular retiring age who is able to
perform on the active list the duties of his
existing commission, said ability to be de-
termined by an examining board, and the
Officer on said vacancy ordered back to
duty.”
General Porter and the Cablnet.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 12.——The friends of
General Horace Porter of New York are
saying today that the portfolio of secretary
of war was offered to him, and that he de-
clined it. General Power is to be chief
marshal of the inaugural parade, and he
has been here in consultation. with Mark
Hanna for a week. Mr. Hanna left for
home this afternoon, and General Porter
returned to New Yor yesterday. . The
self appointed “cabinet "'akers” have been .
unablegm get Mr. Hanna to do much talk-
ing about the cabinet while here, but as
soon as he departs they will-open up a new
assortment‘of possibilities. ' It is not gen-
erally believed that General Porter received
a tender of a cabinet place, nor is it be-
lle‘ved-that he would decline the honor. If
New YOrk is to be represented in the cab-
inet, as it probably will be, Cornelius Bliss
is said to be the man. Mr. Hanna declines
to confirm or deny the report about Gen-
eral Porter. .
The New Tarln‘ Bill.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 12.-——The programme
of the ways and means committee to pre-
pare a tar-ii! bill for the extra Session of
congress was the only topic of discussion
about the house totiay and met with gen-
eral-approval among the Republicans. It
is expected that 1; bill will be brought
forward very earlyi the extra session and
passedunder a rule fixing a time limit for
debate. ‘

RUMORS ABOUT MACEO.
Another Version of the Alleged Death
of the Cuban General.
HOW IT OCCURRED, II' AT ALL
The Thievieh Procllvities of the Span-
ish Troops Miay Have Revealed the
Truth (so—Spain Is Still In a
State of Jubilatlon.
HAVANA, Dec. ISL—Dr. Zertucha, the
personal physician ofAntonio Maceo, who,
after surrendering to Colonel Tort, at San
Felipe, furnished confirmation of the re-
ported death of the great Cuban leader,
has given to the press in an interview at
Melena del Sur additional facts in connec-
tion with the case. It seems that Antonio
Maceo and his companions did not cross
the trocha, or military line, of Pinar del
Rio in the sense generally understood.
They passed from' Pinar del Rio into Ha-
vana province and may be said to have
crossed the military line, but they went by
sea and in an open boat, which required
flve trips to take the whole party of insur-
gents from Pinar del Rio to near Bones,
this province. and as the boat would only
hold eight men in addition to its handlers
it will be seen that Macao’s party was com-
posed of 40 men all told. They had been,
waiting for some time in the vicinity of
' Melons. for an Opportunity to get out of
Pinar del Rio in order to mass the insur
gents in Havana. province into one body,
according to one version of the again An-
other story, from a Spanish source, has it
that Maceo had been pretty well cornered
by tho S anish troops in Pinar del Rio,
and the h left - t province in order to
escape can die a _ having divided his
fogcesinto s ,lnlb‘ .9 and dispgirse? them
enticing the unfiihdiis re io . n‘a'ny
case, they waited for a. dar and s army
night, and then Maceo, accompan e by
Miro, another important insurgent leader,
and others Of his staff, landed near Banes,
and shortly afterward occurred the meeting
with the Spanish troops under Major Ci~
rujda, and the death of the Cuban patriot
chief seems to have followed.
How It Happened, if Itg a gonad.
There are so ifiany versions ofthe aflfair
in circulation, and there are so many rea-
sons for concealing defects in the case,
that some time is likely to ela so before
the truth is known. But it would appear
that the meeting between ‘he Spaniards
and the insurgents was of an accidental
nature, and there is no doubt the latter,
had no idea at that time that Maceo had
succeeded in leaving the province of Pinar
del Rio. Indeed, it is suspected that had
it not been for the looting propensities of
the Spanish guerrillas nothing might have
been known for months to come of the
death of Antonio Maceo. But when the
guerrillas returned to the scene of the en-
gagement, in order to strip the slain and
wounded of any valuables they might pos-
sess (,the Spanish version of it is that they
went to the scene in order to carry away
the bodies of the dead and wounded), they
came upon two well dressed men, probably
both alive, certainly killed one of thpm
while he was helpless on the ground and
stripped them of their valuables. When
these were examined at Punta Brava, the
discovery seems to have been made that
they belonged to Antonio Maceo and Fran-
cisco Gomez, the son of Maximo Gomez.
Madrid Still. JubilateS.
MADRID, Dec. 12.—There is no abate-
ment in the manifestations of joy at the
death of Antonio Maceo. The queen re-
gent received an ovation at the opera house,
and her majesty sent an aid-de-camp to
congratulate the wife of Major Cirujeda,
the ofiioer who commanded the Spanish
troops in the engagement with the insur-
gents. near Punta Bravo, during which
the Cuban leader met his death and Fred-
erico Gomez, the son of Maximo Gomez,
committed suicide rather than abandon
the body of his chief.

Weekly review of trade says:
Approach of holidays and doubt about
the action Of congress put off further im-
provement until the new year. While in-
dustries have gained in working force,
they are waiting for commensurate gain
in demand and meanwhile are trying to
clear away embarrassments which restrict
them.” Speculation has been halting and
timid. There is no sober minded fear ,of
foreign difficulty, but some have succeeded
in imagining that congress might go so
far beyond the president’s prudent message
regarding Cuba as to embroil this country
with Spain. Money is in abundant sup-
ply, lending 'to“ London continues, and
there is nothing to cause less activity in
general business except that the rush of
orders deferred until after the election has
not been continued. The volume Of busi-
ness shoWn by clearings has been fer the
week 5.2 per cent smaller than last year
and 21.2 per cent smaller than in 1892.
Money is still accumulatini $1,750,000
having come in from the ' terior this
week, and rates are falling, much mill pa-
per havin been placed at less than 4 per
cent. The prospéct of cheap money and
too much of it for some time to come helps
to cause that strong undertone which pre-
vents declinc in stocks at all proportioned
Ed the shrinkage of earnings or the vigor
' of speculative raids. Scanty rglmrns for
ecember embrace so bad are‘port of St.
Paul that they fall 25. 5 per cent below
those of 1892, and earnings on United
States roads amounting to $37,626, 266 in
November were 10.9 per cent less than
last yeSr and 12.2 less than in 1892. East
bound tonnag‘é is also smaller than in
either of those years, but the average of
stocks closes only 53 cents per share lower
than a. week ago. ~
IVheat and Cotton.
The wheat market has weakened with
less gloomy news from other countries and
larger western receipts, though only 3, 691,-
374 bushels against 6,003,404 last year.
Disappointment about the break in prices
may help to increase receipts. Atlantic ex-
ports were but 2,755,651 bushels, flour in-
cluded, and for two weeks have been but
4,748,118 bushels against 4,172,448 last
year. Pacific dispatches show that exports
continue very heavy, and about 300,000
tons more are available from California.
The market has declined 2% cents, and the
decrease in demand for? flour with high
rail rates has closed nearly all the Superior-
Duluth and many of the other northwest-
ern mills. Cotton has declined five-six-
teenths, and, in spite of all stories that the
crop has been nearly marketed, continues
to come forward steadily. With over 5, 000,-
000 bales in sight already, there are esti-
mates based On government reports that
the yield is 8,300,000 bales or less,‘which
would leave but 3,300,000 to come forward
in eight months and. three weeks. When
the official report first came, there was a
rush of buyers. A few minutes turned the
current, and a rapid decline followed.
The iron output Dec. 1 was 142,278 tons
weekly, against 124,077 Nov. 1 and 216,-
7 97 a year ago, and unsold stocks reported
were 31,901 tons smaller than Nov. 1, but
these do not include stocks of the great
steel companies. The entire industry is
for the time demoralized by uncertainty re-
garding the great combinations. The form-
al withdrawal of the Bellaire company
broke the billet pool, but a meeting is in
session to reconstruct it if possible. The
beam makers also meet this week to re-
vive, if they can, their compact, and the
steel rail works will meet shortly with the
prospect that one important concern will
go out, and that if others are kept together
prices will have to be materially reduced.
The Bar association scarcely pretends to
control prices, which are slightly lower
this week for steel, and the rupture of the
Nail association has for the time left the
base price for wire nails about $1.50 at
’Pittsburg, with extra charges on ordinary
assortments averaging 12 cents, against
$2. 55 paid last month, with extras averag-
ing 70 cents. Until the future influence of
these combinations is better defined nar-
row trading must be expected, and besse—
mer pig and gray forge are slightly lower.
. Othor Industries. 4 ‘
The boot and shoe industry has reached
the point where many of the cutters are no
longer needed, though in finishing there is
enough to do until the holidays on orders
taken before the main advance. Bufi and
grain leather have dropped about a cent,
with scarcely any demand, though sole and
union are unchanged, and the weakness
in hides, which have again fallen about
4.4 per cent, making 11.3 per cent in three
weeks, encourages jobbers to believe prices
of boots and shoes cannot be maintained.
Rubber receipts in December were 2,800
tons, and visible supply of Para is 2,948,
fine being 82.12 cents, but manufacturers
are holding Off. Minor metals are gener-
ally weaker, tin at 12.90, cOpper at 11%
for lake. and lead at 2.95 cents; Alumin-
ium has been reduced from 50 to 37 cents
for ingots, ton lots, and 65 to 53 cents for
rods, production having increased fourfold.
Textile industries are working a larger
force than in October, but there is not
much evidenceof larger demand, and some
kinds of goods are accumulating. As raw
cotton is lower, some yielding in prices of
staples is expected, and buying is on that
account more restricted, a few qualities of
goods having slightly declined; Print
cloths are weak in tone, with enormous
stocks. Woolen goods are not in better
demand, and there is general indisposition
to make commitments ahead. Sales of
wool, in two weeks 14,378, 900, pounds
against 11,999,200 last year and 10,852,700
in 1892, are this year largely between
traders, as the mills find at present little
encouragement to y, and London sales
are a shade weaker. Quotations are not
changed, though more frequent conces-
sions are reported.
Failures for. the week have been 380 in "
the United States against 333 last year,
and 43 in Canada against 54 last year. ‘

One nf'New Iot'lz‘l’swbldcst and Worst
‘ . Landmarks Transformed. ' '
' several blocks of ramshacklebuild-
lugs [maluring'the Bend, purchased by
the city u.uhorities of New York last
year, have been torn down, and the
“ground they occupied turned into a
park, which has just been opened.
Every morning, .from.6 to 10, there
is a market along Mulberry street, the
eastern liOundary of the park. There
is not a more picturesque scene to be
found on Manhattan Island. The buy‘
ers and sellers both are, chiefly Italian
women. wearing bright colors and
dealing, so it always seems, in the
most brilliant carrots and cabbages
and tOmatoes and peppers that the
vegetable kingdom ever produced.
,After the women have made their
purchases they turn their dark eyes to
the broad greensward across the
street. Some of them turn their steps
that way as well. Basket on one arm
and a baby on the other, they take a
slow and solemn promenade along the
broad asphalt walks. Then they go
away, and that’s the end of the consti-
tutional for the day. Most of them,
however, do not have even that much.
They look curiously at the green
spaces. They blink their big eyes.
There is such a lot of sky, and it
seems so bright and big to people who
are accustomed to having the firms.-
ment only in patches. After they have
locked at it a while they turn around
and make their stolid ways back to
their own particular rookeries.
That is what the women do. The
feminine element is in the minority in
Mulberry'Bend. They have too much
to do at home. Sitting around on park
benches is a masculine prerogative
among the Italians in this cOuntry,
just as lying on a stone wall in the
sunshine is the man’s peculiar right in
Italy. There are 150 benches in the
little park, and they are always pretty
Well filled. On week days there are
from 300 to 500 persons there all day
long. On Sunday his number is dou-
bled and trebled. Saturday is: another
big day. The children own the walks
then. Sometimes they think they own
the whole place, grass and all. The
little brown boards bearing our na-
‘tional motto, “Keep Off the Grass,"
appeal to the youthful Mulberry mind,
if they appeal at all, as simply orna-
mental. And those big places covered
with funny green stuff are so alluring.
The green stud impresses the chil-
dren as funny because most of them
have never seen it before. This fact
is. one which writers about the tene-
ments districts never tire of recording.
They generally honor it with an excla-
mation point, and even, in some cases,
with italics. People get rather tired of
hearing it, and sometimes, skeptical.
But the truth is a perennial one down
there, where the children arrive in
yearly platoons. No matter how in-
dustriously the fresh air charities may
carry the children to the country or
the parks to exhibit to them the won-
flers Of the grass and trees and flow-
ers, there are always advancing hosts
of babies too young to be fresh-aired,
and tree-shaded, and grass-stained. It
is hackneyed, yet it is pitiful.
HOW PERFUMES ARE MADE.
A. Simple Procr 55 that Even a Child Can
Understand.
I wonder if my lady of fashion, as
she puts the drops of perfume here and
there upon her clothing, ever thinks of
the humble substance that is used to
extract this perfume from the flowers?
Does she know Of the great sheets of
coarse white fat that have been torn
from the entrails of animals to draw
for her those precious drops of fra-
grance from the little flowers.
The town of Grasse. in the beauti-
‘bful Riviera Of France, a few miles
back of Cannes, is the center Of the
richest perfume products in the world.
For miles and miles of that soft south-
ern land, fields of flowers surround the
high mountain village to which they
are finally brought, that they may yield
their fragrant lives in the dark per-
fume factories with, which Grasse
abounds. ,
All is not quiet in the dark, fragrant
rOoms of the factories. Men and wo«
men move quietly about. bearing great
tin cans of steeping flower petals or
huge cylinders of rosy-scented pom-
ades, and the process of perfume-mak-
ing is so simple that a child can under-
stand it.
’In a long underground chamber were
rows of tables entirely covered by
layers of fresh fat taken from. beef or
pork. Into this, women with deft
fingers stick the starry flowers from
the jasmine, or extract those ‘whose
lives have already been absorbed by
the grease. Here and there they‘lfat
‘ls serrated by sharp knives, to aid in
thoroughly immersing the flowers 'in
their. greasy bath.
For several days this simple process,
called, “enfleuragc,” is gone through
with, after which the fat, now thor-
i oughly inpregnated with the breath of
thousands of sweet flowers, is chopped
fine,.1ike suet, and placed into spirits
y of alcohol, where it is, left to infuse
for about a month. The alcohol, ex-
tracting all the oder'from the fat, be
comes itself “perfume,” and the grease
once more odorless, can be used again
to suck the life from more flowers.—
