Assemblyman Weeks of New York City startled the assembly and its 2.0)0 spectators by the introduction of a resolution censuring and requesting the resignation of Edward Murphy, jr. , senior United States senator from this state, for voting for the Teller silver resolution. The resolution was a complete surprise. It brought to their feet a number of the members of the minority. They could not object to the introduction of the resolution, but they signified their intention to dehate the proposition, and under the rules of the house it had to go over to be printed. Assemblyman Weeks stated that he was willing that it be laid aside, with the understanding that it be made a special order at 8:30 o'clock on next Monday evening. That course was pursued.

Teller Resolution Rejected by a Strictly Iarty Yote. TVashington, Feb. 1. The house has buried the Teller resolution, declaring the bonds of the United States payable in silver, under an adverse majority of fifty votes. The Republicans were solidly arrayed in opposition, with two exceptions, Mr. Linney of North Carolina, who voted with the Democrats and Populists, and Mr. White of North Carolina, the only colored member of the house who answered present' when his name was called. The desertions from the Democratic side were McAleer of Pennsylvania aod Mr. Elliott of South Carolina. The vote was reached after five hours of debate under a special order adopted at the opening of the session yesterday. The limited time allowed for debate and the pressure of members for an opportunity to be heard, was so great that the leaders on both sides were compelled to farm out the time This detracted much by minutes. 'from the continuity of the discussion, but in some measure intensified the interest in the galleries, which were crowded all day, and the combatants on the floor were cheered by their respective sympathizers. The majority assumed the position that the last clause of the resolution was in reality a disguised declaration for the free coinage of silver, while the assault'ng Democrats maintained that the defeat of the resolution was another step in the direction of the establishment of the gold standard, to which they alleged both the president and Secretary Gage had irrevocably committed the Republican party. The vote on the resolution was: Ayes, 132; nays. 182. TRAIN WAS NOT ROBBED. Robber Throw n From 11 Homo Picked l'p ( iieouM-ioby Pi lice. Kansas City, Mo. Jan. 31. John F.

The injured man, upon being taken to police headquauters, proved to be John Kennedy, disguised by a false chin beard and equipped for an expedition that could not have meant peace for his fellowmen. In one of Kennedy's pockets was a black domino mask. Distributed about his clothing were the several pieces of a disjointed shotgun. In addition were a revolver, and a liberal supply of cartridges and shotgun shells. He also carried a lantern. Kennedy admitted to the officers that it was the intention to rob the Union Pacific train about six miles out of the city, and then to get back into town before the police could be notified. He said that they had received a tip that $00,000 was to be carried on the train. Kennedy has been tried several times for complicity in train robbery, but has always been acquitted. The police will prosecute him for carrying concealed weapons.

Washington. Jan. 31. President McKinley has decided to send to Havana a special emissary, whose duty will be the distribution of the supplies sent there by the Central Cuban relief committee of this city. The committee all over has appointed the east and south, and contributions in the way of clothing and provisions, furniture and cooking utensils, have been so great that when they were shipped to Havana, General Fitzhugh Lee, to whom they were consioned, found hitnself entirely unable to handle them with his limited supply of help. Resides distributing the supplies, it will be the duty of the agent to inform the revenue inspectorsof Havanaabout the goods sent by the relief committee and to distinguish them from dutiable shipments. Stephen E. Barton, the local chairman of the committee, in an interview said that the responsible people of the United States, to requests for aid for the impoverished residents of Cuba, had always been prompt, and that at times the supplies were so great that they could scarcely be handled.
