WASHINGTON, Dec. 13. —Immediately after the opening of the house today Speck- er Reed placed several executive com- munications before the house. On motion of Mr. Dingley (Rep, Me.) it was agreed that when the house ad- journed today it would be to meet on next Monday. Mr. Wheeler (Dem, Ala.) asked unani- mous consent for the immediate consider- ation of a resolution for the appointment of Hon. William L. Wilson as one of the regents of the Smithsonian institute, but Mr. Adams (Rep, Pa.) objected. Mr. McCrcary (Dem, Ky.) objected to a resolution ofi’ered by Mr. Fisher (Rep. N. Y.) calling on the president for the correspondence at the state department in the case of the Henry Crossby, an American vessel fired on by the troops at Santo Domingo, Nov. 10, 1893. On mo tion of Mr. Lacey (Rep, Ia.) a. resolution was passod‘which called on the attorney general for a. detailed statement of the counts, fees, etc., of the clerks of the nited States courts, marshals, deputy marshals and commissioners. Mr. Lacey explained in answer to a question from Mr. Bailey (Dom, Tex.) as to whether this information looked to the future sal‘ aried compensation of these officers; that the information was desired by the judi- ciary committee for that purpose. On motion of Mr. Cannon (Rep, U. T.) a resolution was passed calling on the secretary of the interior for the total amount of land assumed by the Union and Central Pacific railroads under the grants to those roads. Extra Compensation. Mr. W. A. Stone (Rep, Pa.) offered a resolution to pay all the employees of the last house, including the capitol police, an amount equal to their salary to Jan 1, 1896. He had introduced the resolution, be said, upon the assurance that it-had been the practice of each congress to grant this extra compensation to the employees of the preceding house, but he had since learned that the practice had been discon- tinued at the end of tho Forty-seventh congress. At his request, therefore, the resolution was referred to the committee on accounts. ‘ Mr. Wilson (Rep, N. Y.) presented the petition of the Central Congregational church of Brooklyn for the relief of the starving Armenians. The petition asked the government to furnish transports for the relief supplies. Mr. Turner (Dem., Ga.) objected to printing the petition in The Record. At 10 o’clock Mr. Dingley (Rep, Me.) announced that Mr. Grow (Rep, Pa.) de- sired to address the house on a. subject touched by the president’s message, and in order to give him an opportunity to do so he moved that the house go into com- mittee of the whole on the state of the Union for the consideration of the presi- dent’s message. ‘ In the Senate. The proceedings of the senate today be- gun with the presentation of the usual petitions for the recognition of the bellig~ ercnt rights of the Cuban insurgents. Mr. Faulkner (Dem, W. Va.) presented the report of the committee on the Dis- trict of Columbia on a bill regarding high- ways in the District, asking that it should have immediate consideration. The bill Was passed. After the presentation of numerous bills and petitions Messrs. Cameron and Harris both offered motions for the ad- journment of the senate until Monday when it should adjourn today. The vice president created a ripple of laughter by putting both motions at once. They Were adopted. , Mr. Stewart (Pop., Nov.) introduced a resolution instructing the committee on finance to inquire into the rates of ex- change between gold standard and silver standard countries and their effect on agricultural and manufacturing interests and gave notice that he would address the senate on it on Monday next. Mr. Cullom (Rep, Ills.) called up and the senate passed the house bill attaching Aurora, Ills, to the’Chicago port of entry. Mr. White (Dem.. Cal.) presented an amendment to the senate rules requiring that all debate in the senate shall be rele- vant to the subject before the senate and gave notice of a speech on the subject. ' On motion of Mr. Hansbrough (Rep, N. D.) a. resolution was passed calling upon the secretary of agriculture for in- formation as to whether he had expended all or any port of the last appropriation for the purchase and distribution of seeds. Secretory Morton refused to spend the seed appropriation. Call on Armenia. Mr. Call thcn addressed the senate upon his resolution declaring it to be the duty of the civilized powers to suppress the‘ cruclties alleged to bc perpetrated upon the Armenian subjects Of Turkey by the Turkish authorities. Mr. Gall Said that while it was the ac- cepted policy of this government to avoid participation in foreign complications he did not understand it to mean that we should not interfere to prevent such cruel- tics and barbarism as had been enacted in Armenia. He thought the United States should at least express encouragement to the civilized povvers in the effort they are making to suppress these outbursts of bigotry, superstition, cruelty and crime. Mr. Pefi'cr (Pop, Kan.) spoke upon his bill to regulate congressional funerals. He said his attention had first been called to this question by charges made in the newspapers, and after investigating the matter he had concluded that the system now pursued had come to be seriously abused.

Rockefeller, one of the Stand- ard Oil magnatcs, was married today to Dr. D. Hunter McAlpln, Jr., son of David H. MoAlpin, the millionaire tobacco man, in the magnificent Rockefeller mansion, Rockwood Hall, near Tarrytown-on-the- Hudson. . Rockwocd Hall is thé country seat of William G. Rockefeller and about three miles from Torry towu. It is an immense building in the renaissance chateau style, with cloisters of stone. It stands on the site of the famous Asplnwall mansion, which was torn down to make place for it. For the wedding today the veranda sur— rounding the house was incloscd with glass and decorated with palms and potted plants. The floors were spread with costly rugs, while from the roof and along the sides ”were draped ropes of chrysunthe- mums and greens intertwined with roses. The guests entered the music room. in which the ceremony was _ perforn-J, through a Gothic gate of bridesmaid roses, lilies of the valley and asparagus fern. The drawing rooms, arranged as a grand salon in white and gold, were beautifully decorated with masses of white roses and groups of tropical plants. The guests comprised New York’s most prominent society people. Some of the gowns worn by the ladies were marvels of the dressmaker‘s art. Promptly at noon the bridal procession appeared through the floral gateway and passed along an aisle formed by white rib- bons, held by the ushers, who wore Mr. James G. Gardiner, Mr. W. Sanderson Brown, Mr. Alfred L. Dennis, Mr. Percy Avery Rockefeller, Mr. O. G. Jennings, Mr. John D. Rockefeller, .712, Mr. Benja- min B. McAlpin and Dr. W. Chittenden Lusk. Each usher wore a boutonnierc of gardenias. The bride was given away by her fa- ther, William G. “Rockefeller. Her only attendant was her sister, Miss Ethel G. Rockefeller, as maid of honor. Two little maids with big leghorn hats tied like baskets on their arms and filled with bridesmaid’s roses walked at the head of the procession. A Beautiful Ceremony. The bridegroom wore whit-e orchids and his brother, Mr. Charles W. McAlpin, who acted as best man, lilies of the valley as boutonnicrcs. The marriage was performed under a Gothic canopy of roses, lilies and farleyr encin fern, the bride and bridegroom kneeling on a. “prie dicu” of white satin, trimmed with roses and lilies. The Rev. Dr. Armitage and Dr. Harris were the Officiating clergyman. The music was furnished by the Franko Festival orchestra of 40 musicians, the choir and chorus of St. Bartholomew’s church. The bride wore a. gown of the richest ivory satin. The skirt was made plain, but the bodice was covered with the rarest of point.lace. The corsage was out high and the sleeves large. The veil of tulle was secured to the hair with a bunch of natural orange blossoms. Although the bride has received a large number of mag- nificent jewels, she did not wear any dia- mond ornaments. Miss Ethel G. Rockefeller was attired in white ribbed silk and carried a muff of lilies of the valley. An elaborate served. Dr., McAlpin and his bride came to New York immediately afttcr the cere- mony and went to 9 East Fifty-fifth street. Dr. McAlpin rented the house furnished and will probaby occupy it until the house near Rockwcod Hall, which Mr. Rockefel- ler is building for his daughter, is finished. William G. Rockefeller, the father of the bgida, although not as wealthy as his brother,~John D. Rockefeller, is probably worth considerably over $50,000, 000. Dr. David Hunter McAlpin, Jr., is a brother of Adjutant General E. A. MoAl- pin. He is a Princeton graduate and has practiced medicine at 40 West Forticth street, this city. His home was at 673 Fifth avenue, about a block below thc city residence of William G. Rockefeller. '1 The Weather. Northeasterly winds, followod by warm- er; snow. FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.

Ono of the Snrflvon Conan-ed by Billion nor-tuna For Alleged Sues-liege. CLEVELAND, Doc. 13.—John Vevoro of this city has incurred the censure of Bishop Horstman in a case which recalls the tor. dbl. Elbe director. On his passage to Eu~ rope on the steamhip Lahn, Vevcra had as a follow passenger a Slav whose name is unknown. Joseph Holeck was also a pas- senger. The Slav became ill. Holéok wore f a collar such as Catholic clergyman wear, and some of the passengers thought it would be a joke to have the terror strick-. on, Slav make a confession to Holeok, who ‘was willing to carry out his part of the programme. Vovera, as aCatholio, pro- tested against tho force and caused it to be dropped. Holeck and Vevera. were both passen- gers on the Elbe on the homeward jour- ney. Holeck was lost. Vevera was saved. Vevera received the following letter from . Bishop Horstman last week: “My attention has been called to corre- spondence in the Bohemian paper Volnost, in Which Mr. Holock, who went down in the Elbe, relates how you brought a poor seasick Slovak to him, as if he were a Catholic priest, and that the Slovak made his sacramental confession to him. If the facts be true, Holeck has already been judged, but you are as guilty as he of a most terrible sacriloge. ” Mr. Vevcra. asserts that he prevented the sacrilege and asks that the bishop with— draw the accusation. THE TURKISH ATROOITIBS. An Armenian Appeal In Behalf of the Furnishing Survivors. LONDON, Dec. 13. —-A dispatch addressed to the Associated Press and signed by a number of Armenians of Constantinople has been received here. It says: “Ar— menia is at her last gasp. The work of extermination continues. The number of people massacred reaches 100, 000, and half a million survivors have taken refuge in the forests and mountains, where they are feeding on herbs and roots. Hunger and cold have begun to make great ravages among them. In the name of humanity and Christianity, save us!” A dispatch to the London Times from Vienna reports further atrocities by the Turks against Armenians in Trebizond, the chief Asia Minor port on the Black sea. The bishop and five priests are re- ported tr. have been burned to death in a building in which they scught refuge. Fifty thousand homeless people are re— ported to be flocking into the city of‘Van from the region bordering on Persia where the Hamidieh cavalry recently burned 200 villages. FREIGHT TRAINS ON SUNDAY. Southern Railway Employees Held For Operating Them In North Carolina. ASHEVILLE, N. 0., Dec. 13.—The su- premo courto! this state will be called upon to settle a question of great impor- tance in railroad circles—viz, the legality of the assumed right of railroad companies to operate freight trains on Sunday in North Carolina. A citizen of this city brought an action against the Southern Railway company and had the trainmas- ter, agent and other employees of the company arrested, the former on the charge of operating freight trains on a Sunday and the latter on the charge of working on that day. The justice of the court where the action was brought has decided against the defendants, who filed a demurrer and were overruled. The de— fendants were then placed under a bond of $1,000 pending an appeal to the su- preme court. Whatever the judgment of the latter court shall be, an appeal to the supreme court will be taken and the mat- ter settled probably at the January term of that court. Tweedlodum and Tweedledee. WASHINGTON, Dec. 13. — Baron von Thiclmann, the German ambassador, states that the German minister of foreign affairs has been misrepresented in the publication of his recent speech. “The baron did not say that the German gov- ernment protests against a differential duty on refined sugar, ” said he, “but that it protests against. the particular differen- tial duty now in force. ” Hmomann Talks Out. BERLIN, Dec. 13.——In the relchstag to- day, Herr Hausmann, National Liberal, declared that the tone of the speech of the minister for war, General Bronsart von Schellendorf, yesterday, when he said, among other things. that should the police fail and the army he required to deal with socialism, there would be no child’s play, .ctc., lowored the standard of the good taste of the house.

Besides the large hole, 9 feet by 7, which was stove in her bow above her watermark, a. second hole has been discovered in the bow below the line, 2 feet in diameter. It was decided today to start the Adriatic of the White Star line for New York at once with the steer. age passengers of the Germanic and those of her saloon passengers who may be de‘ sirous of taking passage in her.

The Germanic then returned to Liverpool. A dense fog prevailed at the time. Among thb passengers on the Germanic was Lord Dunraven. LIBERTY’S BIRTHPLAOE. A Movement to Restore the Surroundings to Their Early Condition. PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 13. --The matter of restoring Independence hall and its sur- roundings as nearly as possible to their condition during the period of the Revolu- tion is before the. councils, in a. resolution asking the co-operation of interested citi- zens and historical societies. It was the original intention to remove all the build- ings on Independence square except In. dependence hall, and the bill creating the public buildings commission directed them to take such action upon the completion of the new city hall. But a. sentiment arose in favor of sparing the two corner buildings, one of which had been occupied by the United States supreme court and the other of which had really been the capitol of the country, as congress had met there and Washington and Adams had been inaugurated presidents there. As a. result the bill was amended to leave the entire control of Independence square and the buildings thereon in the hands of the councils. It is the general opinion, as ascertained by the councils committee, that all the buildings except the hall and the two cor- ner buildin'vs should be razed. A special committee as been appointed to confer with interested parties and consider plans for the work. Rough Weather 0!! the Coast.
