DEAR GAZETTE : The chief excitement in Congress to- day was the swearing in of David Bennett Hill as a Senator from New York, who is now in possession of a seat in the extreme rear of the rows of Democratic Senators. From the day when Congress con- vened the one question hasbeen “\Vhen will Hill arrive ‘3 ” This was asked by Democrats and Republicans. The Cleveland Democrats wanted to get him out of the state, the Hill Demo- crats were desirous of showing their candidate to the nation, while the Re- publicans were anxious to have the ex- governor where his movements could be watched by some of their shrewdest men. Hill arrived in the city yester- day evening, but was not easily visible to the naked eye until this morning. He was at the Capitol in good season, staying in the Democratic cloak room. No one paid any particular attention to the reading of the journal, for just. as the recital of yesterday’s doings com- menced the ex-governor came out of the cloak room and took his seat be- hind a great combination of verdure and roses. A few of the waiting Rep- resentatives started to greet him, but as they moved Senator Hiscoek walked about half way down the central aisle and said : “Mr. President, David B. Hil1,the Senator-elect from New York, is now present and will present himself to take the oath of office.” To this Vice President Morton bowed and responded, “Yes, sir.” _ Senator Hiscoek then took his;"col- league from behind the big bouquet and escorted him to the presiding ofii- cer’s desk, even going to the length of escorting Senator Hill back to his ap- pointed place. Then followed a reception such as has not taken place in the Senate cham- ber since it was built. Several Senators and a crowd of Representatives filed past, shaking the ex-governor’s right hand with a good deal of vigor. When the reception ended and the roses h ad been removed by a page the Hill family held a reunion, the parties reunited being David B. and “Ike”—— the latter the well-known assistant ser- geant-at-arms of the House. They con- versed for some time and attracted a good deal of attention. Senator Gor- mon broke up the conference. He and Senator Barbour took the new Senator, but old politician.away to Senator Gor- man’s room. Senator Hawl ey to-day introduced a bill to designate all post chaplains in the army as chaplains, with their pres- ent rank and pay, with the proviso that all chaplains shall be liable to be or- dered to regiments of colored troops, and not white regiments only, as is now the case. The bill proposes to in- crease the corps by the addition of six- teen junior chaplains with the rank and pay of first lieutenants. No person to be so appointed under the age of forty years and who has not been regularly ordained in some religious denomina- tion. Promotion in the corps is to be by seniority. The condition of Speaker Crisp showed considerable improvement to- dav. Secretary Blaine is taking things easy to-day and running no risks by venturing out of doors. He has quite recovered from his attack of indiges- tion of yesterday. but is somewhat weak. Gen. John I. Gregg, U. S. A., re- tired, died at his residence, 1908 G street, yesterday morning. He was in his sixty-sixty year, and has resided in Washington since he was transferred to the retired list of the army in 1878. He was a prominent member of the G. A. R., of the Union Veterans’ Union and of the Loyal Legion. Five thousand dollars in silver coin of the new design have been forwarded from the Philadelphia mint to the treasurer at Washington and to the sub- treasurcrs at New York and Chicago. As ever, B. Congress Disgraces the Country. Although the conservative Senators of the United States, by an almost unanimous vote, had passed the resolu- tion authorizing the Secretary of the Navy to engage other vessels than those belonging to this government to send food to the starving people of Russia, and although Senator Gorman, the leader of the Democrats in the Senate. had inserted $100,000 as the amount that might be expended, a Democratic House has disgraced and misrepre- sented the generous spirit of this coun- try by adopting a motion. of Mr. Hol— man to strike out the appropriating clause, says the New York Press. The vote was 166 to 70, and’ the further con- sideration of the resolution was then postponed indefinitely by a vote of 93 to 87. Some very strong and able Demo- crats, notably Mr. Breckinridge of Kentucky, strenuously objected to this action of their party. In Mr. Breckin- ridge’s opinion the Democratic House, if it refused to adopt the resolution, would be guilty of drawing a distinc- tion between using public money for running a public vessel and using pub- lic money for the chartering of a pri- vate vessel, and he declared that the resolution was constitutional, was hu- manitarian, was American, and there- fore was Democratic, and for one he was willing to take responsibility for it. Nevertheless the resolution wont to the wall by the decisive vote of 166 to 70. There are not wanting in \Vashington statesmen and politicians who affirm that the loss of this resolution is due to the revengeful spirit of the ex-Briga- diers of the ex-Southern Confederacy, who remember that Russia stood by the Union and prevented the interfer— ence of other European countries on behalf of the Southern States during our civil war. ....-....____.-».- -,,.,_ .. ,_ The Legislature. The Senate met at noon yesterday. A resolution presented by Mr. Clark, Republican, directing the acceptance by the State of the direct tax money re- funded by the government, called out .the declaration by the Democratic Sen- ators that they would do no business until the House recognized the Demo- crane candidates for State offices. Mr. Holden moved to take from the table Senate joint resolution No. 4, which declares the election of John J. Phelan as Secretary of State. This has been rejected in the House. It was voted to take it from the table and transmit it to'the House and ask for a committee of conference. This vote was unanimous. _ Mr. Holden was appointed on the committee of conference. The Senate then took a recess until 3 p. m. at which time an adjournment was taken until Wednesday next. THE HOUSE. In the House the bill appropriating $50,000 for an adequate representation of the State of Connecticut at the World’s Fair was read. A motion that the rules be suspended and the bill be immediately passed was lost. The ac- tion of the Senate in appointing a com- mittee of conference on the resolution declaring Phelan (Dem.) elected Secre- tary of State was followed in the House, Messrs. Green and Judson (Reps. ) be- ing appointed as the House committee. The House then adjourned till \Ved- nesday next at 10.30 a. m. ..._ <‘>—. .. , We Agree With You. The applicants for admission to the bar in Hartford, a few days ago, were asked all sorts of questions in Roman history, one of which was a brief out- line of the struggle between the Patri- cians and the Plebeians. At first glance this seems a queer question for a law- yer, but when we consider the modern meaning of the terms it is not so strange. Yet if our lawyers knew more law and less Roman history their use- fulness would be just as great as now. ——Ansonia Sentinel. A Fake. Telegraphic reports from Bethe], were sent over the wire last evening to all the New York papers of the robbery and murder of G. W. Smalley, night operator at the Bethel station, and who was formerly in charge of the station at South Wilton. The report illustra- ted vividly how the murderer had first robbed Mr. Smalley of $500 in bills and a gold watch and chain and then mur- dered him. The report did not appear in any of the papers this morning prin- cipally on account of the fact that Mr. Smalley was not murdered and is on duty at the station to-day. —- -------- ———<o>-——~--—-r -~ Church Officers.

At the meeting of officers of the MR. BROWETURNS. Says He Did Not Run Away, But Has Been South With a Friend On a Business Trip. Expects An Apology From Hodges. When the 4:20 train from the east ar- rived at South Norwalk yesterday af- , ternoon, the loungers about the depot J were considerably surprised to see Robert A. Brown, of the firm of Brown 8; Hodges, who left town Saturday, Dec. 19th, alight. Mr. Brown took a horse-car for N or— walk, where he changed to the Winni- pauk line and was soon at his residence on Main street. The news was quickly spread about town that he had returned, and during the evening quite a number called at his residence and expressed their con- fidence in him and their disregard of the stories which have been floating around town during his absence. A GAZETTE reporter found Mr. Brown this morning at his residence on Main street, with his wife and baby, and from him learned the following story : On Saturday afternoon, Dec. 10th, he went to Bridgeport to take some draw- ings to a ‘man named Hilson, for whom he had been doing some work. He had previously collected $450 from O. E. ‘Vilson with which to pay the workmen off, and had placed the money in a drawer at his residence and had only $5 in his pocket when he took the train from South Norwalk. He was sitting in'Mr. Hilson’s oflice talking, when a gentleman named Hew- itt, who had just come from Norwalk, entered and informed him that a re— port was being circulated in Norwalk by Mr. Hodges that he had left town 'with over $10,000. This report Mr. Brown said angered him, and he determined not to return to Norwalk untill he got good and ready. He remained in Bridgeport from the 19th until the day before Christmas, and then having sent Mr. Hewitt to N orwalk for the $450 which he had left at his home. and one of his friends hav- ing invited him to go to Ft. Paine, Ala— bama, where he had mining interests, he took the steamer Tallahasee, from New York for Savannah. From Savannah they went to Atlanta and then to Chattanooga, and from there to Ft. Paine. Here they stopped for some little time and then proceeded to Tallapoosa from which point he wrote Mr. Hodges a letter. They returned to Bridgeport last Sat- urday evening and Mr. Brown has been with his friend in that city ever since. Mr. Brown thinks that his partner has treated him in a. very shabby man-i ner in circulating stories that he had “skipped town” and when they meet, (which they had not done up to this morning,) he intends to demand an apology. The reporter question Mr. Brewn as to what the firm was likely to do in the future, and he replied that if Mr. Hod- ges would make a public apology, and a settlement could be effected with the creditors, the firm would continue in business. It is not probable that the firm will be continued under the circumstances, however, and without doubt some legal action will be taken against Brown by Hodges. Skipped for Parts Unknown. Some four weeks ago Edward Ray~ mond, a restaurant keeper on Washing- ton street, city, engaged the services of George Starr as waiter. Yesterday Mr. Raymond went to New York, leaving Starr in charge of the place. N o sooner had Raymond cone than Starr sent the cook, Thomas Hogan, to Wilton on an errand. He then proceeded to pack a satchel with the belongings of the place, and goin to East Norwalk took atrain for New ’ork. To a GAZETTE reporter - Mr. Raymond said this morning : " He took, so far as I have yet discovered, fishing tackle valued at $10, a shot gun, some napkins and spoons, a few cigars and some cash. I had heard that he was crooked, and kept my eye on him, and he seemed to be acting squarely with me. I hired him out of sympathy and on the recommendation of his mother. I’ll apprehend him yet.” This is the same Starr who figured so promi-. nently in a horse-stealing scrape, but who escaped by reason of a failure to secure extradition. He is the same party who some weeks since ran into a team on West avenue in which a Mrs. Barnes was severely injured. His wife left him about three weeks ago and he swore that he would shoot her the first time they met. He is a. scam‘p, and the chances are that he will land in States prison. <o>~ ...
