NEW YORK, January 28 -The Cunard line steamer Catalonia, from Liverpool for Boston, with her shaft broken, was spoken in latitude 47.50, longitude 34.68, on January by the White Star freighter Cevic, which reached this port today. Capt.

Atkin of the Catalonia asked that his ship be taken in tow of the Cevic, but Capt. Nicol of the ltter was obliged to refuse because the courses of the two ships were so far 'apart. A cablegram to the Associated Press from St. Mlichaels, Azores, received today, reports that the Catalonia has been towed into that port by the steamer Braunschwelg. When the Cevic encountered the Catalonia the steamers were directly in the track ef eastbound vessels and it was thought that the disabled steamer would be picked up and towed back to Queen.t own.

All were well en board the Catalonia. AT VERGINIA'8 CAPITAL. Mru. Bliand a Proapective Cougresemal tandidate-Asyluma Investigatiom. COrrsponek-oce of Thes Ever-ing Star.

The attorney 'for the DistrIct, Mr. B. T.

Thomas, has rendered his opinion to the Commissioners upon Senate bill 1000, which is a bill to regulate the -wages of street railway employes now before the Commissioners for report. Attorney Thomas in his opinion says: "The object of this bill Is to regulate the hours of labor and to provide for the arbitration of differences between street railway companies and their employes in this District. "One of the demands of the Knights of Labor is that laws shall be enacted which shall provide for arbitration between employers and employed. Such legislation Is upon the statute books of at least nineteen of the states of the Union. The tribunals are generally state boards, but several of the states provide commissioners of labor to settle such disputes.

"While It is within the power of Congress to enact legislation of this character I do not think the bill is either In good form or that It is comprehenshe enough for the subject. Such Important legislation as this, it seems to me, ought not to be embraced within two short sections. "In the event this bill should become a law and the street railway companies should decline to appoint an arbitrator the law apparently would become Inoperative in that respect. "The bill is not equal In its provisions, since it gives the street railway companies no right to apply for arbitration, and provides for no decision binding upon the employes. There are also some constitutional objections to It in Its present shape.

It may be said that it proposes to take property without due process of law, and that it also operate to deprive street railway companies of the right bf trial by jury, In a suit for wages. I do not think It proper or right to provide that a judgment against a street railway company in respect of a labor dispute shall 'be a first lien on the property of such "If the bill is to pass in its present shape, my opinion is the words 'and the judgment in such case shall be a first lien on all the property of such in lines 14 and 15, should be stricken out. Such a provision is unnecessary to the rights of street railway employes, and is unconstitutional perhaps, as Impairing the valldity of contracts, in the event there are other liens upon the property of such corporations." TESTIMON ALL IN. The 'Iwe Sides to the Culp Case Heard by the Jury. Testimony In the case of John A.

Culp, charged with kicking Jeremiah Dougherty to death the 12th of September last, was concluded this afternoon. The defendant, it appeared from the offered by the government, was in cl-arge of "flying horses" near the navy yard, and, becoming annoyed at tUe bor, rushed out and kicked him two or three times In the side or back, the boy dying the following month-from the effects of the kicks, the government claimedl. On the other hand, the testimony of the defendant and his witnesses tended to Fet up an alibi. Culp emphaticnlly denying that he kickied the child. The defense claimed, too, that the boy died frcm j.atural causes.

The case will be concluded tomorrow. EMERENCY RELIEF COMMITTEE. Mr. Wilson Thinks an Immediate Fund is Neecessary. The emergency relief committee met yesterday afternoon at 4 o'clack at the central office of the Assoc'ated Charltes.

511 street northwest. There were present CoL. Hopkins, Jos. W. Davis, Nathan Dickford and Mrs.

J. W. Babson. Secretary Wilson of the Associated Charities was present and reported that the calls for relief had increased somewhat during the last two weeks and that It would be necessary, in order to be sure that he could meet all demands, that the committee should undertake to raise a fund of possibly two or- three thousand dollars. If this amount is raised promptly he will be able to meet the demand for some time to come.

NORTH ATLANTIC SQU'ADRON. Continued Secrecy at the Department as to the ships' Movements. Although it has now come to be generally understood that any movements made by the North Atlantic squadron at this time, after the long detention of the vessels in Hampton Roads, would have absolutely no significance, as relating to the Venezuelan question or the Armenian troubles, officials of the Navy Department, from the Secretary down, still make a mystery of the slightest movements of the vessels and decline to say what is in contemplation, even when one of the ships goes obt for target practIce off the capes, only to return the next day. The story was current that two of the ships, the Raleigh and the Montgomery, acere under orders to sail immediately, but In pursuance of this policy no one in authority at the department would even go so far as to say whether or not the ships had or had rot left the Roads.

Blackwell Rouses the lie ol Southern Men. MR. PEFFER SPEAKS Owing to the fact that the women of the suffrage convention were given a congressional hearing at 10:30 today there was no morning session of the convention. Between 12 and 12:30 o'clock the delegates were received by Mrs. Cleveland at the White House, and at 2 o'clock there was a business session of the convention at the Church of Our Father, and there will also be a public session this evening at S.

The hearing before the House judiciary committee at the Capitol this morning was so largely attended that the seating capacity of the committee room was taxed to the utmost and the crowd overflowed into the corridor outside. The suffragists had massed their forces in array against Chiirman Henderson and his associates, and addresses were made by a dozen or mcore of the best of the women speakers representing different states. Miss Anthony presided and introduced the speakers. The hearing was-marred by but one untoward circumstance, aid that occurred during the speech of Mr. Blackwell, the only male orator.

The members of the committee present were General Henderson of Iowa, the chairman, and Representatives Beatner. Broderick, Brown, Updegraff, Culberson, Baker, Washington, Gillett, Burton, DeArmond and Terry. The hearing was on the joint resolution introduced into the House by Representative Northway. The resolution, looking to a sixteenth amendment to the Constitution was as follows: Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled of each house concurring therein), That the follownig article be proposed to the legislatures of the several states as an amendment to the Constitution of the United States, which. wi-en ratifled by threefourths of the said legislatures, shall be valid es part of said Constitution, namely: "Article XVI.

sectikn 1. The right of citi. zens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any state on account of sex. "See. 2.

The Congress shall have poweT by approerriate leg! lation to enforce thc of this Miss Anthony's Address. In beginning the addresses, Miss Anthony said that for years the women of the country had been appealing to Cangres3 to remove the restrictions which prevente. them from their full rights in the government. In 186 they petitioned Congress, and this is the fourteenth Congress that she has addressed through committees or this subject. Were she not animated by faith in the virtue of the cause and hope of its ultimate success, she would long since have given up the contest.

"I ask." said Miss Anthony, "that you will do as much for your wives, your and your daughters as you or your fathers did for the newly emancipated negroes of the south. I ask that you report favorably on this resolution. If that is not p3ssibl-, at least some of you can bring in a minority report, so that we may know we stand on this question." "But, Miss Anthony," said Gen. Henderson, interrupting her. "what I want tc know is, where do you stand with the women?" "I don't care where we stand with them They have nothing to do with it.

It is th( m-n that we want to reach." "But we are giVen to understand," con. tinued the chairman of the committee "that the women themselves, as a rule, d( not want suffrage." "A majority of children are opposed t( education," replied Miss Anthony quickly "but still we make them go to school." An Array of Orators. Miss Anthony then introduced as th first speaker Mrs. L. T.

Hughes, the wifE of the governor of Arizona, who made at earnest plea for the recognition of women stating that the women of Arizona confidently expect to obtain suffrage within the next eighteen months. Mrs. Charlotte Perkins Stetson of Cali. fornia admitted that a majority of the wo. men of th-e United States have not as yet come out for suffrage, but she claimed thal suffrage would raise the general average ol the race by improving the quality of one.

half its members, arguing at some length or the educational value of suffrage. There if no better way, she said, to improve or ele vate a race or people than to Improve the women. We hear much of the mother ol Washington and the mother of Lincoln, hut we should remember, too, that Charles Guiteau had a mother. Women have beer and prevented from reaching their best development by the system of rePression to which they have been compelled to submit for generations. They have always been deprived of the exercise of certain functions, and to just such a degree they have failed of complete development.

Mrs. Anna L. Diggs of Colorado announced that she came before them as a full-fledged citizen of the United States, as coming froni a state where women have equal rights witti mnr before the law. She asked that the womon of other states be given their rights to the same extent. She believed that woman's sphere is the home, yet it is just for that very reason that women want suffrage.

There is a problem, she said, confronting the people of the land today which is nol easy of solution, for there are undermining inftuences at work directed straight at the hc mes and the underlying institutions of the ration. They might not admit it eloquently from the public rostrum, but at the same time there is a growing feeling of doubt as to the stability of all republican institutions, and women are equally competenl with men, and fully able to assist them iri the work of meeting the defliculties of the times. The country has been well fathered, but it has not been well mothered, and that Is precisely what is the trouble with it. Mrs. Katie Addisori of Kansas said 'that when the men of her state refused to grant the right of suffrage to women they dealt a hard blow at the hope that Kansas would be truly the land of the free, where women might occupy their true position.

She a high tribute to the ability and character of Miss Anthony, and asked what that noble woman might not have done for her country if the opportunity had been extended to her. Still, if the love of her fellow women could make up for that of which she had been deprived, her cup must be full. One of the moet attractive sneakers in the convention, Miss Elizabeth U. Yates of Maine, then addressed the committee. She said that in all legislation women are as vitally interested as men.

"It is claimed," she said, "that women do not understand government. But I notice that when a womean, who is returning from Europe with trunks and band boxes full of silks and laces that she is trying to bring in without paying duty, and is caught at -tt byr the customs officers, ro one ever says 'poor woman, she didn't understand the By the deeds that are dark and the ways that are vain she has shown that she understands the principle of the tariff pretty well, and I don't think that any are ever caught so stupid as to be smuggling in articesa that are on the free list." gr. Blaekwell Makes a Seewe. The next senker was Mr. Hlenry B.

Blackweli of Massahusetts, who was introduced by Miss Anthony as the husband of the late Luey Stone. The effect Of his remarks was spoiled by an unfortunaste controvessy, in which he got involved with several of. the suthern omahbers of the committee. After making a brief summary of the reasonsl why should be invested with Blackwell said that as to the enesnteon whether suffrage was an unmi blessing he would call the attention of the comumittee to the fact that there was never a general system of free school. is the south unWt they were' ees tablhshedl by the so.called legishatues.

Payin' as as he could to this breg -n his argument.

Mr. Blackwell finished up the time allotted to him in a plea for women's siglits. He was followed by Mrs. Saunders, the wife of ex-Senator Saunders of Montana; Mrs. Clara B.

Colby of this city, 'eitor of the Women's Tribune; Mrs. Franers A. Williamson, a Nevada ranch nd. raine owner, and Dr. Cora Smith Eaton Dakota.

McCullough Everhard of Ohio said: "You probably wonder, even if you not asked. why we are not at home looking after our families Instead of conding to Washington to pester you. It is just because we want to take -better care of our homes that we have come. I for one pay enough in taxes every year to buy a farm and yet I have no rightsto say how they shall be collected or how expended. it is a mistake to say that women do not want the ballot, for in Ohio, where we have been given school suffrage, Interest has 'grown rapidly, and now women who at first did not even want school suffrage have been educated into being fullfledged suffrags ts." Mrs.

HannaX R. Simmons of South Dakota, Mrs. Emily Richards of Utah and Mrs. Jessie Manley of West Virginia also spoke. Miss Anthony brought the hearing to a close with one of her characteristic speeches and this was followed by a brief passage-atarms between her and Chairman Herderson, who took the ground that, while he had always been a suffragist himself, he did not think the time was ripe to give it to women for the reason that they do not want it.

ON THE SENATE SIDE. The Women Orators Receive Help From Senator Peffer. The woman suffragists, under the generalship of Rev. Dr. Shaw, occupied the marble room on the Senate side of the Capitol to the exclusion of all others this morning.

Their hearing by the Senate committee was to have begun at 10 o'clock. A table was put across the upper end of the long, narrow room for the occupancy of the committee, and the, room was provided with rows of seata for the ltdy liberators. At 10 o'clock the wpmen were all on hand with their logic and their manuscripts. But the committee were not on hand. The picturesque assemliage chatted quietly among themselves and waited with patience for twenty or twenty-five minutes.

Still the committee table was not occupied. Dr. Shaw suggested at this point that there was one thing they could congratulate themselves upon. "We are on time," she said. "All women are not always on time.

Married women cannot always be on time because they often have to wait for their husbands." Mr. Pefer Appears. At half-past 10 Senator Peffer was seen rapidly climbing the hill to the Capitol. Some one reported this, and Dr. Shaw announced to the assembled suffragists that the coming committee was casting its shadow A few minutes later Senator Pe ppeared and took his seat at the co intee table.

He smiled upon the women nd' they greeted his arrival with applause. But he was alone, and the hearing could vot proceed. It was twenty-five minutesdl.o91jl when the next member of the committee appeared. This was Mr. Call of Florip on his arrival it was th'' -hey had better go on with the hearing.7 not wait for the chairman of the committee.

The "furny man's" woman suffragist was not there. It was an assemblage of various ages; some white-haired and some blooming in youth; some pretty, some plain; some girlish, some matronly-widows, married women, old maids and- young maids.

-They were modest, earnest, intelligent-looking women, and, what many women regard as more important, they were stylishly dressed. There was -nothing new in this to the committee of Congress, who have from year to year granted hearings to the suffragists, and become used to seeing women of the best class in home life appear before them in this cause. New lFaces ad New Speeches. But there an unusual number of new faces in the assemblage and some of those were -to speak had to acknowledge that they had not yet acquired the art of talking in public. The diffidence these was scarcely less eloquent in the cause than some of the remarkable argumentative powers of other speakers.

During the wait for the committee some of those who wanted to deliver freehand addresses, but were not sure of their memory, dived thelr hands every now arnd then down into the mysterious folds of their gowns and drew out manuscripts, which they scanned cautiously. From States. The idea was to hear from some- representative of each state of the Union. and the addresses were consequently limited to five minutes or less. Some who had not got used to talking were cmbarrassed, and occupied but a part of even that brief time, but each one got in her earnest plea in some form for the liberation of her sex, and reminded the committee that taxation without representation was as unjust to women as to men, and that an intelligent woman was better qualified to have a voice in the government than were criminals, insane persons, idiots and minor boys.

During the course of the speeches Mir. Peffer frequently interjected some expression of his approval of the remarks and his sympathy with the cause. When the representatives of the states did not speak the manuscript of their speeches was submitted, but there were but two or thre cases where the remarks were not delivered in person.

The Armoenia. Masuaeres.

Mr. Turpie in presenting a petition concerning Turkish massacres, addressed the Senate briefly. In the recent calamities, he said, the Armenians were charged with no revolt. They were charged only with being Christians. Their only crime was that they claimed and exercised the right to worship the Divine creator of the universe.

The time has come, said the Senator, that there should be an official notification to Turkey and to the Mohammedan Church that there has been a decadence In their power to proselyte with the sword. "We have already sent a message," said the Senator, referring to the concurrent resolution, "but the blow should follow. The message should be followed by a shot which would go crashing through the grand seraglio." The Senator urged that it would be a glorious day when the destruction of this Turkish power was brought about. He would have the messages and demands sent, not only to the sultan, but echoed through the mosques and minarets. It should thunder until these murderers learned the power and advance of Christianity.

The Senator urged that the Christian world might now be called upon to take up another great crusade. driving back the rule of Mohammedanism and establishing the rule of Christianity. Mr. Turpie spoke with great earnestness and vigor, and his remarks attracted much attention. Mr.

Allen (Neb.) gave notice of an amendment to the pending silver bond bill, depriving the Secretary of the Treasury of the Power to issue bonds unless the authority is granted by Congress. Mr. Kyle (S. offered a resolution which went over, proposing a committee of inquiry into certain reports of irregularities in the mail bag branch of the postal service. Mr.

Lodge (Mass.) presented a resolution calling on the civil service commission for correspondence with the public printer from July 1, 1815. to November 1, 1896. The resolution went over. The Debs' Arrest. Mr.

Call's resolution for an investigation of an arrest of Eugene V. Debs came up, and Mr. Cali urged immediate action, saying that the laboring Interests of the country desired the inquiry. Mr. Hill (N.

said that ordinarily he had great respect for the laboring people of the country; but he pointed out that no petitions had come from the representatives of these people. He had never heard that they desired this Investigation. It might be that such an inquiry was desirable, but if so it should be conducted by one of the regularly constituted committees, and not by a special committee. To that end Mr. Hill offered an amendment directing that the whole subject of contempt of court, as enforced by the federal judiciary, be Investigated by the committee on judiciary and that areport be made as to what, If any, legislation was necessary.

Mr. Call dissented to the amendment. Was it intended to suppress this inquiry? he asked. These regular committees were the the burial grounds" of legislation. If action was to be taken a special committee was the only means of accomplishing it.

Mr. Call spoke vigorously upon the indignities and wrongs against iugene V. Debs because he had ventured to express opinions contrary to those entertained by a court. The Senator said this inquiry was vital to the preservation of civil liberty and the invioalability of the personal rights of the individual. A Judicial Question.

Mr. Hill urged that this was a judicial question, and properly to be considered by the judiciary committee. There was no need of mentioning this particular case, as the Untted States Supreme Court had passed on It, and Congress would not be likely to overrule the Supreme Court. The question now was as to a legislative remedy for any general evil that might exist. Mr.

Allen interposed with a dissent to Mr. Hill's statement of the Supreme Court decision. He said the court held it had no jurisdiction to give the relief askid. It did not rule on the merits. Mr.

Allen severely criticised Judge Woods, who committed Debs. Mr. Hill said he would not be put into the attItude of opposing an inquiry. He paid a hign tribute to Mr. Debs, and said the action he urged was with a view of securing appropriate legislative actIon.

Mr. Allen created a flutter of exoltement by asserting that in his opinion the express purpose of referring the resolution to a standing committee was to suppress and kill it.

January change In foreign speculative sentiment and the of credits incident thereto are favorably reSeeted in the course of least stock values. London was again well represented in the buying. Reading and 8t. Paul being especially favored. The foreIgn short interest is being rapIdly liquidated in anticipation of higher prices and the long account is being substantially inmreased for the- same reason.

If the foreign demand should continue until after the bond issue is completed a broader local market might reasonably he ezperted to continue the advance. It is to be feared that the local professional eleVe. Is not ecual to performing its share the tad: without first talking the proft now apparent on the tape. The decline occasioned by such action, should it materialize during the week, will afford unusual opportunities for securinlg cheap securities.

The trost Important change in actual con.dtions wen reffected in the market for forv cign exchange, rates having receded below the speelz point without the sale of a stagle gold hill.

The narrowness of the market is Its greatest drawback at the moment, Is a condition much easier to overcome than many within recent experience. Lower prices may precede a stbstantial upward movement, but not to the extent of warrantirg short selling at the present level.
