Democrat In Corner A Very Ab- breviuled Mrlke. Special Dispatch to Tub Couhant. Washington. Jan. 20.

The democrats find themselves in an unexpected comer on the Carlisle case. The republicans refrained from voting and left them without a quorum. This forced nn adjournment. On countiug up their forces tonight, a tusk that has occupied the entire they find that they lnk eighteen of a quorum. Telegrams summoning the absentees have been sent in all directions, which should bring a quorum for Monday's session.

Nothing can be done with the case to-morrow. A strike which lasted only half an hour took place at the bureau of engraving and printing. An order changing the helpers at each plate printer's press to some other one was made. As each helper is well acquainted with the work at his particular press, the printers thought the change would reduce the amount they could print, and so they struck. The order in question was revoked before any formal notice of the strike reached the superintendent, and so it ended within a few minutes of the time when it was fully uudur way.

B. PERILS OF THE DEEP. Experience of the HrluHutlno Champion. Halifax, N. 8., Jon.

30. The brigantine Champion, from Demerara, arrived to-dny dismasted, after a thrilling experience. Captain Vorgor reports that on the 3d insant the forward house was started, and t'no water tanks, head-Rear and jibhoom were carried away. While in this condition, a sea heavier than any of the preceding ones struck the vessel and hove her on her beam-ends. The men were ordered to cut away the top-masts in order to right the vessel and save the lives of those on board.

This was done, everything except the lower masts going over. Tho vessel now lay helpless in the trough of the sea. The fore and mainmasts were badly sprung and the vessel commenced to leak badly. After this gale, which lasted fifty hours, the crew tried to save sufficient from the wreckage to put up a jury rig, but only succeeded in saving the lower topsail yard, which they attempted to place in position as a fore-yard. It had just been fixed across the mast, and the crew wore aloft bending on the foresail, when the vessel was struck by a squall and the yard broken in two, nton and rigging falling to the deck in a heap.

None were killed, btit several were seriously injured. Fore and aft sails were then rigged, and the vessel was headed for home, where she arrived with great difficulty. The Champion's cargo consists of sugar and molassi. It will bo impossible to tell the extent of duinaga to the cargo until a survey is hold. PAID THE PENALTY.

Young; Xowlln Handed for tho Murder of His Employer. James E. Nowlin, IS years old, was hanged in the jail yard at Cambridge, on Friday, for the murder of his employer, George A. Codman, on January 4, 1S87. Only the legal witnesses summoned by the sheriff and the reporter of the Associated Press were present.

His neck was broken by the fall, and death was almost instantaneous. Young Nowlin had expressed contrition for his crime, and declared that he was ready to die. $2.50 BLANKETS, now $2.00 4.50 3.50 6.00 4-00 e.oo 6.50 6-00 7.50 5.50 8.00 6.00 9.50 California Blankets 7.00 12.oo 0.oo Wajmiinotox, Jan. 20, The contested election cose of Thoelie vs. Carlisle was taken up and considered at length.

Mr. Howell of Illinois argued that the com mil tee on elections had iollowed the proper course refusing to reoeii the case. Mr. Lodge of Mttssaehusotta spoke in sup port of the minority report The pending case, he said, was too important one to be settled by nftldaviU. It was a case which deserved the attention of tho American con gress.

Considering particularly the eno inoiiM disparity between the contestant and eontesteo, the bouse should proceed with great circumspection. ho contestant was ti'H candidate of the laUir organizations. His case had been shockingly mismanaged. He came now and threw himself upou the mercy of the house. 1 here was widespread helief among the great working classes that the power of the corjioratinn, the power of the ring, and the power of men high in authority, backed by niunov and influence, had an enormous weight in all legislative bodies of the country.

It was a dangerous, unwholesome belief. Ho thought that when a man belonging to the working class came before tho house asking for a rehearing, it would do no harm to anyone, tiitluicnngrnn, or to the interests of the people to have that man's case heard. The house could afford to tenqwr justice with a very large measure of generosity. On motion of Mr. Crisp, Mr.

Thoolie, the contestant, was granted an hour in which to present an argument in his own behalf. He read from a communication which he had sent to the chairman of the committee on elections, protesting agniust an unfavorable report upon his request until he had an opHrtunity to examine the affidavits presented by the contestce. In this communication he reiterates in part the statements contuined in his ailidav it filed with the committee, denies the truth of some of tho allldaviU Hied by the speaker, and declares bis ability to disprove the accuracy of others if he was granted an opportunity. He was sorry, he continued, that the working classes were beginning to lose confidence in the security of the ballot. If the ballot was not secure, what did they have left (Applause on the republican side).

He was a workinginan he did not consider it a great honor exactly to Ik a inemtwr cf this house. (General laughter and applause), What he meant was that a mechanic was just as honorable and noble as any other citizen. If every gentleman here would rather lie right than lie President, these scats would be filled by the right men. (Laughter). He did not propose to make any capital out of the fact that he wasa workiugman.

He was not there for favor, but for simple justice, The previous question was then ordered upon the resolution of the majority of the committee, wiiieh confirms the title of Mr, I Carlisle to bis seat, and upon a resolution ill the nature of a substitute, offered by Mr. Ly-' man of Iowa, declaring that the contest Is of such importance to the sitting member and to the people of the country that it is entitled to full, thorough and impartial investigation, and providing that the pujiors in the case be printed and referred to a select committee or a sub-committee of the elections committee, which shall be authorized to investigate the matter. The substitute was defeated, yeas 125, nays 132, the following democrats voting in the aiurmittive: Messrs. tiynuin cronse, Koran, Hare. McKinncv.

Kliively and Wea ver. The question thou recurred on the majority resolution, on the adoption of hich the yeas and nays were ordered. The republicans with the exemption of throe or four who voted in the affirmative, and Messrs. Bi-uinm, llovey nnd Laidlaw, who voted in the negative refrained from voting, on the ground that they had not sufficient information uiion which to act, nnd the vote was announced yeas 140, nays 3 no quorum. The house then, nt 0 o'clock, adjourned until to-morrow.

0'BR1EN RELEASED. Enthuslastlo Reception at Dublin. Dublin, Jan. 20. Mr.

O'Brien was released from Tullamore jail to-day, and arrived here this evening. He was greeted at the railway stutiou by an immense crowd, which included many members of parliament and a large number of priests. On alighting from tne train he entered the lord mayor carriage, and was driven to a hotel, followed by a long procession. Tho paraders carried torches and marched lo the music or several bands. Many houses alone the route were brilliantly lllumi nated nnd bonfires blazed in all parts of the town.

On arriving nt the hotel, Mr. O'Brien made a brief speech. His voie was very hoarse. He said he rejoiced that iu spite of the eftorts of Mr. Balfour, the Irish were stronger than ever.

Although the English were slow in joining them, they would be slow In deserting them. iho Irlsa would not resort to outrage, but would fol low Parnsll and Gladstone, trusting to the democracy of Great Britain to make Ireland a nation. Mr. linen received many con gratulutory telegrams in the course of the day, some coming from America. In several Irish towns garlands were hastily hung across the street honor ol Mr.

ui ien, and in the evening there were processions. illuminations, etc. At a meeting in Tullamore to-day Mr. O'Brien said that he had the greatest difficulty to find adequate words with to express his gratitude for the kindness of his countrymen, more especially Messrs. Moorhead and Egaii, without whose assistance in his lonely duel with the juil authorities they would likely have have had a much different event to celebrate to-dny.

Referring to Mr. Blunt's charges against Mr. Balfour, he said he had heard them from Mr. Blunt himself long bo- rore there had been uny likelihood that Mr. Blunt would bo a victim.

It was because he (O'Brien) had that statement in mind that he told Moorhead and Egan in the beginning that he belie veil be had been brought to prison to be murdered; for he' knew that Blunt would let his hand wither in the fire before he would tell a lie. He confessed that, though he kept a good face, he went to prison with the perfect conviction that he would never emerge alive. Apart from Blunt's revelations, be thought they had a right to infer the worst from Balfour's secrecy in immuring them in what he supposed woul turn out to be the Tullamore catacombs. It was only fair, however, to say that the prison officials jier-formed their odious duties with the least possible harshness. JiOTES.

The Russian police have learned of a new movement among the students. The discov ery has lea to the indefinite postjwiioment of the opening of the universities. Telegrams trom Toulon report that the government arsenal there has suddenly become the scene of great activity. Everything is being hastened to place a sqnadn of iron-clods and all the available cruisers in readiness to sail. The men at the dock-yards are working extra time.

Mr. Evelyn, tne retirinz memlier of par liament for Deptford, who recently left the conservative party and became a Gladstoni-an, advises the electors of Deptford to vote for Mr. Wilfrid Blunt as tlioir representative in the house of commons. Mr. Havden, editor of the West Meath Examiner, has been again arrested on the charge of using seditious language.

Die Loudon Uliromele correspondent at Rome aays that Curdiilal M'tnniiig has written to the pope to the effect that any out spoken opposition to Gladstone on the part of tho Vutiein would produce among Irish and Catholics a Uisauetiiou that would lead to serious results.

Norvln iMon nnd Gard iner U. lluhbui'd The senate post office committee on Friday had a hearing on the bills for the establish ment of a Hstal telegraph system. Dr. Nor vill Green, president of the Western Union Telegraph comiwiny, made an argument in opposition to the scheme. He questioned the constitutionality or the proposed measures, it had been claimed that the extern I'uioii was a monopoly, but it had no exclusive franchises.

It had reduced tho average cunt of mwsHgnH from l.lMln iNn to 30'v cents in 1W, and the rates would be further reduced this year. He inserted that the Baltimore Ohio Hues hail been built to be sold to tho Western Union. The history of government telegraphs showed turdy service, jsior delivery and abundant errors in transmission, ho western Union had to pay from to 000 per year for it mistakes. He behoved that the deficit of such a government system as was piniKised by the Cullom bill would be from to a year, Over 20,000 people were interested in the Western nioii property. The Humorous signatures to the Ktitious for government telegraph was accounted for by the fact that Mr.

i'ovv-dcrly had had a quarrel with a certain individual. Gardiner' G. Hublinrd of Boston made a lengthy argument in favor of a government telegraph. Concerning the Western Union company, he liclieved that of the of stock, if or $10,000,000 have been jxiid iu cash by the stockholders, uud probably ns much more by the stockholders of other telegraph companies hich had been bought up bv the Union, and that the rest of itliad been taken from the public in telegraph tolls. It was true, as Dr.

Green had said, that tho Western Union's six hundred thousand miles of wire could not be du plicated for $00,000,000, nnd that the company posaessed other great properties, such as its right of way. 1 lie directors, as Dr. Green bad wild, owned thrie.elglith of its capital stock they therefore held a monopoly, as it would lie impossible at iinv stockholder's meeting to obtain a controlling vote over the director. Dr. Uracil staled nt this point that three-fourths of the capital was frequently represented at a stockholder's meeting.

Mr. Hubbard, continuing, said that in all other countries tho telegraph was controlled by the government. In this country it was iu control of a singlo cor (oration, l'he question was whether the government could not manage it much chvisr than the Western Union. In Switzerland and Belgium the average cost of nemling messages was cents; in England cents; iu this country, 23 cents. Could not this sum be reduced; If.

it could be done slowly by the Western Uniou, it could lie done rapidly by tho government. There were two way proposed one in the bills of Senators Cuilom uud Edmunds, which was llmt the. government should operate the lines, the other the plan advocated by him for uiy years, tho substance of hich wus embraced iu the bill re- isirteil by the committee four years ago and Introduced by Mr. Dawes. It was in the line of the system now adopted by tho post office for the transmission of letters.

The chairmnn said that the Dawes bill pro posed the Inlying out or the telegraph lines. The committee was ngaiust this but had agreed to let Mr. Dawes report it. Mr. Hulibard said that was not his sug gestion.

His proKsil ion was that the post office department should receive telegrams as it did letters; that It should make a contract with eomiietent parties to transmit the tele grams, and that the government should deliver the telegrams. In the country towns the post onice would undoubtedly bo tho tele crnpli office. Iu reply to a question, Mr. Hubbard said that he supiused that about half of tho 55,000 lost offices would be accommodated, as the telegraph lines hIikkI to-dav. All telegrams wore to Imj pie- paid by stamiis furnished by the government.

Mr. Jluiiliard went on to say that here M-r cent, or the tiusmess was social, while Hbro.nl it was SO per cent. If the rates were made cheap, everybody in this country would use the telegraph. The reduction or the price of messages In England from a shilling to six pence, resulted in a 50 it cent. Increase of imsiiicss in two years Mr.

Jiubhard gavo further ihiUtil.s of the advantages of the gov ernment system, and tho Hewing was ud journed indefinitely, THE READING STRIKE. Mr, IIInoH'H Ingenious Scheme. Wilkekhakhk, Jan. 201. There is a new scheme oir feot to bring the miners' striko to a close.

Ex-Assemblymen Iline went to PottHvillo to-day to enforce the scheme, which is that all the strikers apply to tho poor authorities for admission to the poorliouses.
