A recent and notable Instance where filibustering prevented the unseating of a int iuuur is me case oi ounivan vs. enon in i the second session of the Fiftieth congress, The local and state elections and returning i boards of California certified Felton's majority at 119. The committee of elections by a majority vote reported in favor of the contestant, Sullivan. The minority report showed clearly that the evidence submitted in his behalf was unworthy of credence, and the Republicans, joined by several Democrats, would not allow a vote to be taken for the reason that the report was not made until the closing hours of that congress.

"A very remarkable incident." said Mr. Smith, "occurred on the 4th of March, 1SS5, within the hour of the expiration of the Forty eighth congress. The committee on electious in the case of Freder ick vs. Wilson, from the fifth district in Ohio, had reported In favor of the contestant. Frederick.

The contestee, Wilson, was a 'canny an Industrious and able representative, and one of the best parliamen TBEDJlIUCK MOODARn. tarians in the house. He was a somewhat independent voter, and his case was regarded as a good one. In the closing hours of that congress every attempt to bring it up had been resisted by the Republicans, and under Speaker Carlisle's rulings filibustering motions could be repeated indefinitely. The report in that case was pending and was a privileged matter.

Within an hour of final adjournment a last effort was made bring it up. Motions for a recess, to adjourn, and adjourn over, were made and pending, when ex Speaker Randall, who had 'caught the speaker's moved to suspend the rules so as to take from the speaker's table the senate bill to authorize the appointment of General Grant on the retired list of the army and pass the same. Speaker Carlisle improperly ruled that the motion could not be made while another motion waa pending before the house. At this point Mr. Wilson, amid great excitement, stood up on a chair and was given recognition.

In a clear and distinct tone, which penetrated every part of the hall, he said: 'Mr. Speaker, if this house will vote to put General Grant on the retired list, I am willing to be sacrificed after His brief speech was greeted with a whirlwind of applause, the dilatory motions were withdrawn, the previous question was ordered, the resolutions were adopted and In a jiffy Mr. Wilson was unseated and Mr. Frederick seated. Mr.

Frederick thereupon appeared at the bar and was sworn in, and immediately drew some $12,000 salary and mileage. Mr. Randall was recognized and renewed his motion to suspend the rules and pass the bill. The half hour allowed for debate was not taken. Messrs.

McMillan of Tennessee and Watson of Indiana only speaking against the motion, which prevailed by yeas 198, nays 79. The result was received with long continued applause, the enrolled bill was immediately thereafter reported and signed, and a moment later Mr. Boutelle announced that the senate, in open session and by unanimous vote, had confirmed the nomination of Ulysses S. Grant as general of the army on the retired list. The clock had twice been turned back to prevent the disposal of business of a routine character, and five minutes afterward, at the conclusion of Speaker Carlisle's valedictory speech, the gavel fell upon his announcement that the house of representatives was 'now adjourned sine die." In reply to my question as to the proper remedy for the evil and gross Injustice done In the action or non action of the house on contested election cases, Mr.

Smith said: "There should be an Increase of the membership of the committee on election to at least twenty one members, which might be divided into seven sub committees of three members each. Some of the cases can be easily disposed of in a short time. For Instance, Mr. McGann of Illinois from one of the Chicago districts the contestee, iad announced that after a careful examination" of the evidence, he is convinced that he was not elected And he will make no further con iawkescs e. mc oann.

tost. The house of representatives owes a solemn duty to these various constituencies to pass speedily upon eadh case, to the end that they may be rightfully represented by the man they elected, and 'it owes It to itself and the country that the wrong main. snail' tie as promptly unseated as possible and not allowed to vote and perhaps decide questions of great importance and continue to draw a salary of $5,000 per annum. In addition, a rule should be adopted that a report should be made on every contested election case within sixty days after the appointment of the committee. That is reasonable and feasible and would be a great reform." Until the Forty third congress there has been no limit fixed to the amount paid contestants as well as contestees for expenses incurred in making or defending the contest.

The average amount was about $4,000. which, of course, included an attorney's fee of $1,000 or $2,000. but there are many cases where $6,000 was paid and in one case $9,000. For many years these amounts were paid out of the contingent fund of the house, which did not appear in the statutes, but this practice was stopped by the original and Simon pure "watch dog" of the treasury, Elihu B. Washburn of Illinois.

A table compiled by Mr. Smith, while journal clerk of the house, years ago, before the committee on rules, shows that nearly half a million dollars has been paid contestants and contestees, both being treated alike. Many attempts have been made to accomplish a reform in this direction, but nothing came of it. If Speaker Reed will only put his powerful shoulder to the wheel in this matter, it may as well be considered now an accomplished fact. A.

Olcott Charges That Kis Wife Was Badly Neglected During Her Illness by the Members of Her Family. (Special to the Eagle.) Jersey City. N. November 16 Dr. Charles A.

Olcott of 572 Bedford avenue, Brooklyn, secured the custody of his two children this afternoon from Chancellor McGill, who sat in chancery chambers. Dr. Olcott and his wife separated by mutual agreement four years ago, and she took the children to live with her In New Jersey. The cause of Dr. Olcott's application to day was the death of his wife, which took place on Thursday last, at the Mountain Side hospital.

Montclalr, N. J. The proceedings which came to light privately in court to day were of an extremely character. Mrs. Olcott's maiden name was Fanny Kirby.

Her home was at Caldwell, N. J. In 1S90 she separated from her huBband and returned to her mother, in Caldwell, leaving a fine home, which her husband had provided. It was said at the time that Mrs. Olcott's mother was the cause of much of the trouble in her daughter's.

family. It waa also rumored that the separation followed the beginning of proceediugs for divorce, but Dr. Olcott's lawyers said that uo divorce waa ever contemplated by either party. Two weeks ago a mutual friend told Dr. Olcott that his wife was dying in Montclair.

N. J. Dr. Olcott hastened to Montclair and found his wife in the Mountain Side hospital. She was suffering from blood poisoning and was at the point of death.

At the hospital it was learned that Mrs. Olcott had implored her brother to send for her husband. Young Kirby, however, was not on the best of terms with his brother in law. and Is said to have paid no attention to her urgent requests. At Mrs.

Olcott's beside a complete reconciliation took place. Dr. Olcott engaged competent nurses and spent many hours with her. She lingered a few days and then succumbed During Mrs. Olcott's illness the children which had been living with her mother, mvs teriously disappeared.

A friend of Dr. olcott's reported the matter to him and he found his children at the home of Father Mendel, a priest in Montclair. A writ to produce the children in court was obtained from Chancellor McGill, and the proceedings to day were on the return of the writ. Lawyers "representing the Kirby family and Dr. Olcott met in the chancellor's private chambers in Jersey City, and after a long consultation Father Mendel and the Kirbys agreed to surrender the children.

They are aged 10 and 0 vears respectively. They will go to live with 'their father next Tuesday. Mrs. Olcott's funeral will be held at Montclair to morrow. Dr.

Charles A. Olcott was seen at his homo on Bedford avenue last evening by an Eagle reporter. Dr. Olcott said that his children had been badly neglected while living with their mother. He said that his wife left him without cause and that he was never able to understand why her family should strive to get possession of his childreu.

"While their mother was alive," he said, "the law of New Jersey would not permit me to have the custody of the children, but now that she is dead no power can keep them from me. Still I had to watch very sharplv for fear thev would be taken from me again. I found them at the home of a priest, where thev had been sent by my wife's folks. It is true that I found my wife very ill in a hospital in Montclair. Her own family had neglected her when she was in great need of the best of care.

The report that my wife secured a divorce from me on the grounds of desertion is false. She never began proceedings for a divorce. THE FRENCH REVOLUTION. A NOVEL VIEW OF THE GREAT POPULAR UPRISING. A novel view of the Freacn revolution was presented by Professor H.

Morsa Stevens of Cornell university in tho art building yeterday afteraoon. According to Professor Stevens English speaking paople in general have a fundamentally impression of this great event in modern history. The popular idea of the French revolution is obtained almost exclusively from the works of two great writers, Dickans and Carlyle. Neither was a writer or history. The historical romancer is the hereditary foe of the hiatorian: while Carlyle possessed not the qual itiea of mind for a dispassionate historical judgmnnt.

Ha was taken in by almost every forgery that came along and, worse than that, he allowed his prior conviction to inlluoace hlB judgment in an extraordinary degree. From Dickens and Carlyle boin Americans and Englishman have outained the impression that the revolution was brousht about through theter rible oppressions of the Freuch peaantry, together with tho jaaloiuy harborvd by tlio bourgeois to the nobility. As a matter of Tact, the peasant of France wore much better off than tnoso of Poland, Germany or Hungary. The country enjoyed a high degree of material prosperity, and as far as the jealousy of tho bourgeois waa concerned, it waa a very small element In the controTorsy.

Thomas Polan Expired a Fe vT Hours After His Father. A DOUBLE FUNERAL TUESDAY. The Elder Dolan Passed A way Yester day Morning, After Nearly a Year's Illness Thomas Sat Weeping on a Sofa All the Forenoon and When His Wife Called Him for Dinner She Found He Was Dead.

On Tuesday afternoon there will be a double funeral from 319 East Thirty eighth street. New York, and the bodies of Peter Dolan. a cart driver, 50 years old, of that address, and his son Thomas, 30 years old, a coach driver, of 753 Second avenue, will be buried In the same grave in Calvary cemetery. Peter Dolan for thirty years past has been In the employ of Kane Wright, contractors, of East Forty sixth street. A year ago he jumped from his wagon and a pitchfork ran through his left foot.

Blood poisoning followed. Six months ago ho contracted a heavy cold, pneumonia set in, and at 5:30 o'clock yesterday morning he died. His son Thomas, on learning of his father's death, became morose and was greatly affected. He had not lost a day from work In fifteen years, having been that length of time in the employ of Joseph Boylston, who keeps a livery stable at 233 East Thirty seventh street. Early yesterday morning Thomas went to the undertaking establishment of Skelly Larney, at 65S Second avenue to arrange for the funeral of his father.

He had known Larney for years and was prostrated from grief when he left the undertaker at 11 o'clock in the morning. Then he went home to his wife and two little girls and told them to prepare dinner. His mother called at the house at 12 o'clock and shortly before 1 o'clock when dinner was just ready Thomas remarked to his wife and mother that he felt as tfiough he would faint. Putting his hands to his head while sitting on the sofa he groaned for a few minutes, spoke incoherently and cried bitterly. Soon after his wife went to call him to dinner and found him dead.

They said he took the death of his father so to heart that he died of grief. Then the almost heartbroken mother and widow returned to her own home on East Thirty eigth street. Scarcely able to stand from the severe shock and grief that the death of her husband and son had occasioned, she hobbled down East Thirty Kighth street to her home, crying tho news aloud to the neighbors. Friends gathered about and tried to comfort her and many remarked that It would not surprise them if the grief stricken widow and mother should soon go to join her dead. PADEREWSKI'S SECOND RECITAL.

IT WAS GIVEN" AT CARNEGIE MUSIC HALL YESTERDAY. Paderewski's second piano recital waa given yesterday afternoon at Carnegie hall to an audience, if possibly, larger than that of a week ago and with a longer continued demonstration of enthusiasm at the close. The programme was better adapted to a popular audience than the former one. There was only one sonata. Botthoven's opus 101.

and the set of Brahams variations (those on Paganini air, opus 33, were so lovely in the andante movement and so awe compelling in other parts that any audience whatever must have been roused by them. There were several of tho things which all students of the piano, amateur and professional alike, play; the Schubert impromptu, opus 142, No. the Mendelssohn song without words, opus 62, No. the spinning song, and a Chopin nocturne, opus IS, No. 1.

While these familiar numbers wore oeing piayea tne thousand or more nianista little, who could play the same thing after a tasnion oi tneir own. Dent forward at the tensest attention. Thesplnningsongwasplayed at a speeu wnicn was the despair of all of them, and of most professionals as well. The little Mendelssohn air took on an almost unearthly beauty under his hands, and those variations of tho Schubert number sounded as if a child of 12 might play them. There were other Chopin numbers, more brilliant and less interesting than the selections which Pader ewski sometimes makes: the prolude in minor, cpus 2i; tho etude in A minor, opus 25, No.

11: the mazurka, opus 33, No. and the polonaise In sharp minor, opus 44. Then came the pianist's own composition, his "Cra covienne Fantastique." this time, which shows strongly the influence of Liszt and Is as pearly In parts as a running brook. All this was a prelude to three tremendous Liszt numbers, in which the pianist easily shewed himself the first vlrtuorso in the world; "Au Bord d'une Source." the concert study No. 2, at the end of which men stood up and shouted with delight, and the second Hungarian rhapscdv, which snrved as an encore number at the first recital.

His titanic rendering of that last was sufficiently dwelt upon a week ago. The effect upon the audience was more marked yesterday than then There was the same rush for the standing room about the stage, the same cheering and waving of handkerchiefs, and several women near the stage threw small bunches of violets at the pianist's foot. This sort of tumult kept up until Paderewski had added four encore numbers to the regular list his own minuet being the slightest and simplest of the four. L.ast week he onlv played three times, and after the thh number yesterday the assistants rushed forward and removed the piano cover. Paderewski came out just then, stopped them and played the fourth addition, while the piano handlers stood about nun ui soiemn tableau, balancing the cover of the instrument.

Then the men turned the piano on end, tiat did not serve to empty the hall. People stood and applauded in the chance of wringing the pianist's hand in lieu of hearing him play. It must have been nearly an hour after the regular programme closed before the hall was vacant The third recital is announced for December IN AID OF ST. JOHN'S HOSPITAL.

Unless Some Radical Measures Are Adopted to Curtail Official Delay and Filibustering the Cases May Drag on Indefinitely Instances Where Members Have Drawn Salaries for Brief Services Mr. Smith's Recollections.

(Special to the Eagle.) "Washington, D. November 16. HE house of represent atives of the Fifty fourth congress, which will convene on Monday, December 2, will have a larger list of contested election cases to start with than any of Its predecessors. There axe now twenty nine cases of contests, distributed among twelve states, many of which involve important and complicated questions which are entitled to careful and thorough consideration. A few may be disposed of within two or three months, but unless some steps are taken of a radical character to expedite these cases, many will Inevitably go over until the next session which, being limited to a working period of about ninety days, will expire with cases undisposed of, as has been so often the case in previous congresses.

It has become the habit to consider a contested election case as a question to be decided on strict party lines, recalling the grim remark of Thad Stevens of Pennsylvania, in the Fortieth congress. One of these cases was before the house and a red faced member who" made the report was talking as usual to a tliiD and unattentive house. A new member who wanted an excuse to chat with Mr. Stevens, who sat in his seat in a sort of a doze, asked him how he was going to vote in the pending case. Oh," replied Mr.

Stevens in a brisk way, "for our own rascal, of course!" That illustrates the general feeling in regard to the case. A list of the pending cases is herewith given: Gwnre p. Harrison. Third Alabama; TV. T.

The Forty ninth congress passed an important act, relating to contested elections, approved March 2, 18S7, "which accomplished substantial reforms caserrio. to thai mB act the law provided that all testimony taken In such cases should be carefully sealed and transmi'tted to the clerk of the house of representatives, which officer, after the organization of the new house, would turn over such testimony to the speaker, who laid it before the house, when it was referred to the committee on elections and ordered printed The printing usually required a month, so that it was rare that the consideration or any case was begun by the committee on elections before the middle of January. The new law provides for a notification of the contestant and contested by the clerk of the house, to appear before him at the capitol in person, or by attornev at a stated time. Dot exceeding twenty days from the mailing of the letter, for the purpose of being present at the opening of the sealed packages of testimony, and of agreeing to the parts thereof to be printed. Upon the day appointed the packages would be opened in the presence of the parties or their attorneys, and such portions of the testimony as the parties may agree to have printed shall be printed by the public printer, under the direction of the clerk, and in the event of a disagreement between the parties as to the printing of any pcrtiou of such testimony the clerk is authorized to determine whether such portion shall be printed.

If the parties do not appear on the day fixed the clerk Is authorized to open the packages and select such portions of the testimony as he may think proper, which are then printed. The portions of the testimony not printed are then sealed up and laid before the committee on elections after its organization. The clerk is also required to make a suitable index and, after the testimony is printed, to send the copies to each contestant and contestee. The WILLIAM ELLIOTT. result of this is that a' great deal of time is saved, for as soon as the committee is organized the several cases are distributed among sub committees, which take them up when printed in such order as they may decide.

In spite of these provisions, which accomplished a much needed reform, contested election cases are occasionally dragged to the very end of congress, either by the action of the commltt in refusing to report on a case, or by refusing to call it up when reported. In these instances, when the case is so delayed, the report iu against the member of the majority party and is held back for political or perw reasons, while there are many instance, ji which a report recommending the seas, of the contestant is not acted on at all, oi fng to filibustering on the part of the minority. Since, and including, the Fifty first congress, it has been impossible to prevent reaching a vote on a contested election case, as cloture would be quickly applied by a report from the committee on rules, against which no filibustering motion Is in order. There have been some most flagri cases of filibustering, in most of which, beyond doubt, the sen tence of Representative Poppleton of Ohio, used during ihe electoral count proceedings when this was resorted to, applies with great force. "When fraud becomes law," said Mr.

Poppleton becomes patriotism." J. AliUOTT. "then filibustering A very remarkable instance of delayed justice was related to me yesterday by Harry Smith, for many years journal clerk of the house. "In the Forty third congress," said Mr. Smith, "the seat of J.

Hale Sypher of Louisiana was contested by Ebbingham Lawrence. The committee on elections reported on the case early In the sessipn and unanimously decided that Sypher was not elected, and recommended the seating of the contestant, Lawrence. Several efforts on the part of the chairman of the committee to get the ease up were defeated until the morning of March 4, 1ST5, when It was called up and disposed of with but five minutes' debate, the resolution unseating Sypher being adopted without division and that seating Lawrence adopted on a roll call by yeas 135, nays S6, Information for Those Going on the Excursion. HOW TIME WILL BE PARSED. Pleasure and Amusement From the im.

of Departure to the Return Exercisi on the Exposition Grounds A Cordial Invitation Received An Overflow Excursion Arranged Reception at Ashu ville Information Bureau Notes. "Off for Atlanta!" This will be the cry t. stir the bloods of some one hundred and twenty Brooklynites on Wednesday, November 20. The great excursion the New South will leave here that day on the Pennsylvania annex at 1 I M. This time It will be a march from the sea to Atlanta and, while it already has all the enthusiasm of 'the other famous excursion that is sung of with a thrilling chorus, its purpose now is a conquest of the South by pacific means a purpose that will be much easier and far more enjoyable to all concerned.

Monday afternoon come to the Eagle office and get your baggage checks and tickets. Do not forget this as it Is important that everything should be arranged beforehand to avoid any confusion. Remember Wednesday, 4 P. Pennnsylvanla annex, at the foot of Fulton street. "Eastern time" is mentioned in parenthesis in the itinerary, but it is hard to Imagine any member of this party being an hour slow to start on this trip, which would be the case if he traveled on Western time.

Unfortunately the party will not see much of Jersey City, which would be new to many, no doubt, as tho train leaves that town at 4:13 P. M. However, the disappointment will be more than appeased by the appearance of Col one! Price, who will distribute some handsome and elaborate badges. These will glitter with gold and be resplendent with buttons and bangles. The women of the party will receive the extra ornament of satin ribbons.

Colonel Price will also pnftent Lhe women with neat souvenir letters and envelopes with which to make their friends happy at home by telling them what a very fine time they are missing. As the dinner hour approaches the parly will enter the two dining cats attached to the train and will eat. drink and be merry. It is quite possible that many of the members will take this opportunity to deliver some of the extemporaneous speeches they have been preparing for weeks, as it Is not often such a chance for au audience presents itself as this will be 120 representative Brooklyn men and women in moving cars from which they cannot escape. This, however, is merely mentioned as a possibility, as thero is a probability that they will save their oratorical efforts for Brooklyn day at the fair.

Then again, a preliminary practice of this kind is not to be despised. The Capital City will be reached at 10:23 P. M. Here a stop will be made only long enough for Dr. Talniagc and other distinguished exiles to make their calls upon their traveling ex neighbors.

Mr. W. II. Kaufman of the Washington Stur will be among those to come and take a peep at the Brooklynites with W. H.

Tief, a newspaper man of Pittsburg. These men are to go to the Newspaper Publishers' association on Friday, and will run down with the train. They may be beguiled Into making a speech if the Broklyn men are through by that time. Then otf the train will go again amid tears from the late Brooklynites in Washington and cheers from the travelers to the South. Thursday.

November 21, the party will arrive at AahevIIle, at 12:25, central time. There they will be met by the mayor and common council of the town and will be driven to the Battery Park hotel, which Is one of the finest In the land, with a table to be respected by any epicure in tho country. Then a ride will he taken to tho famous and magnificent Vanderbllt estate, at Biltmoro where miles and miles of beautiful forest and flower gardens are being prepared to surround the palatial building that is beipg erected there. The sites of many little settlements will be pointed out to the tourists, where students are to be Invited to come and live and study the latest things in botany, forestry and landscape gardening and the modern ni' tliods of agricultural pursuits. It is said that one can drive forty miles through this exquisite region and not come to the end of Its preserves.

The party will not attempt this, however. Just what form the reception by tho mayor will be Is not known. Speeches can be ably replied to by the practiced experts in that line with tho party. Asheville will be left at (i P. M.

The destination of the party, the lovely City of Atlanta, will be reached Friday. November 22, at 2 A. M. It will be too late to go to a hotel that day. The partv will have had such an experience with the excellent service and accommodations of the train that many will not care to leave the train for other accommodations.

Friday Lhey will do the sights of the fair In style, driving and walking around the exposition. Saturday it is expected, every Brooklvnlte will turn out at the auditorium braiding at 10 o'clock, to take part in the exercises there, which glee the orators another to display themselves, and it is geiiHrallv" conceded that they will outdo all previous efforts. The mayor and mayor elect will hold the boards for a time and will be followed by one or two public men of Brooklyn and the editor of the Eagle. At o'clock they will go to the New York state building to attend a reception there, but. this need not worry the Brooklynites about dress suits, as only a Chicagoan would appear before 'J in such a rig.

Meantime the newsboys will be shouting out the familiar cry of "Brooklyn Dally E.i gle," for the special edition of this paper will be issued that day, and no such edition has ever before boon gotten out on such an occasion. It will bo replete with bright tlcles. clever sketches and artistic decorations. No one will care to leave the fair without several copies of this paper as souvenirs. Sunday it is expected every Brooklynite will go to church.

It Is whispered around that Mayor Schieren has induced a Urojklvn divine to join the party, and it is known that the Atlanta people have been fishing round for some of our representative clergymen to give a sample of their Sunday talks to them. On luesday morning, November 2(1. the party will leave Atlanta and will begin the journey home. They will stop for a time at Chattanooga to be taken to Lookout mountain, where they will be breakfasted at the hotel there. A short glimpse of the famous battle field will be had and then off for home.

Arrive at Washington 10:15 A. M. Jerse City, 4:30. Brooklyn, 4:55. Home, Sweet Home.

A Second Excursion to Atlanta. Members of the Atlanta excursion party arc on the tiptoe of expectation. The arrange ments of all the details have now been completed and there is no question but what there is a grand good time in store for all the participants. As mentioned in a previous article, a question which is considerably agitating the gentlemen of the party is whether or not to take their dress suits. A slight change in the programme for Brooklyn day has obviated this necessity.

Inasmuch as the time of the reception has been ehajiged. Instead of Listing from 5 to o'clock it "will last from 6 to As rules of etiquette do not require dress suits at that time of day. ar.d as it would be very Inconvenient for men t. to their hotels or cars for a change of clothes, members need not feel obliged to take their evening suits. A representative of the lanta Constitution, Atlanta's loading paper, called at the Eagle bureau yesterday.

He said that tho whole city was taking great interest in Brooklyn day. and that every one was going to turn out and bid a royal welcotnc the Brooklynites in the city on that day. At a meeting of the citizens' commit ree yesterday afternoon the mayor was I to extend an invitation to some i i. clergyman to accompany the party, is the. Atlanta people are anxious to have" a prominent Brooklyn minister to occupy i ia of tlieir pulpits next Sunday.

It has been decided to assign the clergyman to a section in Mr. Berri's car. There arc several doctors, lawyers, in the party, and It has been deemed necessary to have at least one clergyman. New York city has offered Brooklyn the use of troop A for Brooklyn day. and accompanied with the offer was a mild suggestion that Brooklyn contribute to the expenses Gigged a Small Bo an.1 Then Loote.l a Liar.
