VIRTUALLY CONFISCATED.
Failure to Find Payees Not Followed

Lightning—Cassidy’s Winter of Dis
content. ~
Washington. Feb. 3.— Until within
the past two years it was the policy of the
Post Office Department to keep the money
paid for unclaimed money orders without
attempting to find either the remitter or
the payee, but about two years ago, stirred
up by some Congressional influence, the
department issued a circular instructing
postmasters receiving money orders ad
vices to hunt up the payees of unclaimed
money orders. But the traditional policy
was maintained in so far that no attempt
to find the remitters was authorized, even
in the not improbable event that the
payees could not be found. Consequently
the fund to the credit of the money order
office in the United States Treasury on
account of unclaimed money orders now
amounts to about $1,250,000. This money
has lieen termed by at least one official of
tne Post Office Department “The capi
tal of the money order office.”
Nevertheless, it is of course per
fectly obvious that it is the prop
erty of either the remitters or the payees
of the unclaimed money orders, and not
of the United States government or any
department thereof. Moved by the reform
spirit which Mr. Cleveland’s affirmative
honesty has stimulated, the Post Office
Department has recently gone a step
farther and issued a circular to the post
masters who have issued unclaimed
money orders, notifying them that money
orders issued by them remain unpaid and
instructing them to hunt up the remitters
and notify tnem.
RANDALL BREAKS HIS FAITH.
Nearly all of the delegates from the
different boards of trade who came here
last Saturday to urge the passage of the
bankruptcy bill, returned home to-day.
They left convinced that a further attempt
to pass the bill in the present House
would be almost useless. It is said that
the friends of the bill had a sufficient ma
jority yesterday to pass it, if it could
have been reached, but owing to the tac
tics of Mr. Randall It could not be called
up. There is a great deal of ill-feeling to
wards the Pennsylvanian among the
friends of the bill because of
his action. He had promised that
he would not oppose the measure,
and virtually violated his pledge
by insisting upon the consideration of the
resolution amending the rules. That
there was an understanding between
those who offered the dilatory motions
last night which defeated consideration
of the bill and Mr. Randall is evident
lrom the fact that as soon as “suspension
day” had passed the Randall resolution
was adopted without opposition. Mr.
Morse, who was to have made the motion
to suspend the rules and pass the bill is
very much chagrined at his ill success.
He declares that more than enough mem
bers were pledged to its support to have
insured its passage yesterday, but gives
up all hopes for it now.
Mr. Collins, the most active advocate
of the measure, is not over sanguine, hut
has hopes that during the last six days of
the session the bill may be reached and
passed. Although the general belief is that
Mr. Kandall is directly responsible for the
third defeat that the bankruptcy bill has
sustained in the Forty-eighth Congress,
it is a fact still that the negligence of its
(riends was iu a measure responsible lor
it 9 defeat. Having two-thirds of the
House in its support yesterday afternoon,
it was yet impossible to secure a quorum
last night. It this could have been done
it would have succeeded in spite of the
filibusters. More than one-half of the
House was absent after 4 o’clock.
NO PORTFOLIO FOR DORSIIEIMER.
An Aibauy (N. Y.) special of to-day’s
date says: “The occasional mention’of
Mr. Dorsheimer’s name in connection
with a Cabinet positiou excites some sur
prise and amusement here, where it is
known that Mr. Dorsheimer has stood
apart from the Cleveland movement ever
since the Saratoga Convention. Were it
not for no other reason Mr. Dorsheimer’s
antagonism to Tildenism would bar him
from a portfolio. The talk of William C.
Whitney is much less vociferous than it
has been, and iff seems reasonably certain
that Mr. Whitney will not occupy the
Treasury building in March. The move
ment for him has done him little good.
Indeed, those who have observed Mr.
Cleveland’s conduct as Governor know
that ‘movements’ in any man’s favor
count for little with him.”
THE BLATANT BKLFORD.
The red-haired, brazen-tongued Belford,
of Colorado, made his first appearance in
Washington this session to-night. He
wore the same careless costume, the same
battered hat, the same rubicund expres
sion as when he left for Colorado last
spring. He was too tired to talk. How
ever, he managed to say that the rftcent
silver convention at Denver was one of
the grandest assemblages he had ever
known, and that the sacred cause of sil
ver would ultimately triumph over the
gold bags at the Fast. It is rather ex
pected that Belford will begin speaking in
the House to-morrow from the same old
text, “open the Treasury vaults,” and
will continue to speak early and often
until the close of the session to make up
for lost time.
MR. CASSIDY DISAPPOINTED.
Representative Cassidy, of Nevada, is a
hardy young Democrat who was not re
elected at the election last fall. He has
lieen working hard ever since to get the
signatures of influential Democrats to an
indorsement of an application for the
position of Director of the Mint, which he
proposed to present to President-elect
Cleveland. All went well until to-day,
when Mr. Cassidy read for the first time
section 343 of the Revised Statutes creat
ing the office of Director of the Mint.
This provides among other things that “he
shall be appointed by the l’resident by
and with the advice and consent of the
Senate, and shall hold his office for the
term of five years, unless sooner re
moved by the President upon reasons
to be communicated by him to the Sen
ate.” The last ten words of this clause,
taken with the fact that thp present Direc
tor of the Mint, ex-Representative
Horatio P. Bure hard, of Illinois, was re
appointed only last year, astonished and
saddened Mr. Cassidy. Mr. Burchard is
an efficient officer, against whom nothing
can lie said, and there is no reason to be
lieve that Mr. Cleveland would remove
him without cause any more than that in
such an event the Senate would accept
the “reasons” communicated to it as
satisfactory. Mr. Cassidy’s winter’s
work goes for nothing unless he can pick
out some other office to which his appli
cation will tit.
CONTEST FOR THE ATTORNEY GENERAL
SHIP.
The contest for the Attorney General
ship under President Cleveland's admin
istration has developed considerable bit
terness. It is alleged that the attacks on
Mr. Garland’s record as a constitutional
lawyer have come from R. T. Merrick’s
friends. The Washington lawyer has been
known for some time as a quiet aspirant,
and, from his position at the capital, had
discovered that Garland must lie pulled
down before any one else could be put up.
It was from Merrick, it is said, that Gen.
Van Manning, ot Mississippi, got the
“pointers” about Garland’s speeches,
with which he afterward went to Cleve
land. and also to the Southern Senators in
Washington. Of the latter, Maxey,Coke,
Hampton, Harris, Vest and Butler are
now prominent in their opposition, al
though personally friendly to Garland.
The name of Congressman Money, of Mis
sissippi, was a good deal niixed'up in the
reports of the antagonism to Gar
land. His own candidacy for Postmaster
General was said to be dependent on get
ting Garlaud out of the way. Mr. Money
went to Mr. Garland at Washington one
day last week, and told him that he was
in no way interested in or responsible for
any part of the attack on the Senator.
They had a long talk over the Cabinet,
during which Mr. Garland said he saw
no rtason for antagonism between Missis
sippi and Arkansas, even if a question ot
geographical location should lie raised,
since they were separated by the Missis
sippi. about as widely as the East from
the West. Both gentlemen, as well as
others in Washington, have been assured
by Mr. Dorsheimer, who assumes to speak
“bv the card,’’ that geographical location
will make no possible difference with Mr.
Cleveland in considering the construction
of his Cabinet. The best of relations ex
ist at present between Garland and Money.

SAVANNAH, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 4. 1885.
IN SENATE AND HOUSE.
The Inter-State Commerce Bill to be
Pushed to a Vote To-Day.
Washington, Feb. 3.—Before the
Senate met this morning Mr. Riddleber
ger’s desk was the centre of attention of
visitors and such Senators as were in the
chamber. A beautiful floral harp rested
upon it, a tribute, as is presumed, of Mr.
Riddleberger’s Irish admirers.
The harp was over two feet high. The
frame wasqecmposed of tea roses, japontcas,
hyacinths, heliotropes, ami mignonettes. The
base was of azealias, euphorbias, lilies and
other rare exotics. The strings of the harp
were wreathed with smilax.
•*!.* that a Welsh harp*” Senator Dawes
asked of Senator Jones, of Nevada.
“No,” Senator Jones replied, “it is the harp
of Erm.”
Tlie Senate was called to order at the usual
hour.
Air. Miller, of New York, presented the
credentials of W illiam M. Evarts, elected
United States Senator by the state of New
Fork. The credentials, which were unusually
lengthy, were read. During the reading of
the credentials Mr. Hoar remarked that, in
hjs judgment, a certificate from the Governor
of the Slate simply saying that the person
named in the certificate was duly elected a
Senator of the United Stales from the par
ticular State named for a given term was a
sufficient credential according to the usages
of the Senate and the laws of the United
States.
The Chair, Mr. Edmund*, stated that the
papers read did not contain any certificate
lroui the Governor as required by act of Con
gress. Ike papers were referred to the Com
mittee on Privileges aiul Election.*.
The papers consist of copies of the proceed
ings in the State Legislature during the Sen
atorial election. These are certified as cor
rect copies by the officers of the two houses.
Nothin" from the Governor is inclose C
Mr. Morgan introduced a hill, accompanied
by a memorial on the subject from the Legis
lature of Alabama, providing for a loan of
tents to the Association at Mobile, Ala., in
control of the inter-State drill. The bill and
memorial were aiipropriately referred.
<Jn motion of Air. Cullom. the Senate then
resumed consideration of the mter-Staie com
merce bill. The question w - as on Mr. Plumb’s
motion to add the words “under similar cir
cumstances.” to the amendment offered l>v
Mr. Beck, which amendment w r ould prohibit
railroad companies from charging more for
transporting goods over part of its line than
for transporting the same goods over its whole
line. Mr. Plumb’s motion was agreed toby a
vote of 26 yeas to 20 nays. The question then
recurred on Mr. Beck’s amendment as
modified.
MR. VANCE’S STAND.
On this, Mr. Vance took the lloor and made
a long speech.
Mr. \ a nee favored the House bill. Mr.
Beck said that he would vote against his own
amendment since it had been modified by the
amendment of Mr. Plumb. It would make
the bill useless if it passed. He severely cri
ticisedlhe bill. Mr. Beck’s amendment as
modified was then voted down by 0 yeas to 41
nays.
Mr. Sherman followed in a long speech upon
the general subject covered by these lulls,
starting out with the statement that he pre
ferred the Senile bill, but would have voted
for either the House or Senate bill it the other
were out of the wav.
Mr. Kenna came next in opposition to the
coniml sion feature of the proposed legislation.
Mr. Beck’s amendment permitting reduc
tion of rate;s without previous notice was
agreed to by 4ii yeas to 7 nays.
The House bill prox’ides tiiat no discrimina
tion cliall be made between passengers on ac
count of race or color. but the furnishing of
separate aud equally comfortable accommo
dations should not be deemed discrimination.
Mr. Ingalls moved to strike out all of this
provision except the statement that there
should he no discrimination on account of
race or color. Mr. lugalls’ motion was agreed
to, thus striking out the nroviso regarding
“separate accommodations. - The vote on
striking out was ;i4 yeas to 17 nays, Messrs.
Butler and Jackson being the only - Demo
crats voting in the affirmative.
An amendment then offered by Mr. Wilson
to the Senate bill was agreed to requiring
railroads to give the benefit of reductions to
Shippers, who, after a reduction of rates by a
railroad company, may within live days be
fore the publication of the notice have paid
him per rates. No further amendment* of
detail offering to the House bill Mr. Cullom
moved to now amend by substituting for it
the senate or commission bill. This was
agreed to by 35 yeas to 18 nays. The Demo
crats voting in the affirmative were Messrs,
Colquitt, Hampton. Jonas, McPherson, Mor
gan and Pugh. The o' ly Republicans who
voted in the negative weie Messrs. Edmunds
and Van Wyck.
Anew section proposed by Mr. Sewell was
agreed to as follows: “This act shall be con
strued as applicable to all railroad or trans
portation companies engaged in the carrying
of freight from any place in the United States
through any foreign territory to any other
places iu the United States, or from any place
in the United States to any place outside of
the United States, provided that this shall
not apply to transportation wholly by water.”
A motion to adjourn was here made, and a
call for the yeas and nays disclosed the ab
sence of a quorum. The roll call was then
had, and a quorum was found present. After
some discussion as to the disposition of the
bill to-morrow, and the impossibility of pass
ing it to-night it was unanimously agreed
that immediately after tlie morning business
to-morrow the bill be taken up, and that the
debate should cease at. 3 ©.’clock to-morrow
when the final vote on the bill and all its
amendments should be taken. The Senate
then at 7:10 o'clock adjourned.
IN THE HOUSE.
Though the usual scenes attending the night
session were enacted last night they were not
marked by the degree of hilarity which gen
erally characterize* them, and the hours tedi
ously dragged their slow length along. It was
after 1 o’clock when the friends of the bank
ruptcy bill succeeded, after many efforts, in
having a eall of the House ordered, and it was
not until 1:45 o’cl< ck that the Sergeant-at-
Arms brought in the first batch of recalci
trant members. The same trite and thread
bare excuses which have done duty for years
were offered and were greeted with the same
hursts of derisive laughter and were in every
case deemed satisfactory. The new recruits
voted for the nexv motion to adjourn which,
at 2:15 was carried by 73 yeas to 07 nays.
In the House to-day, on motion of Mr.
Eaton, of Connecticut, the Senate amend
ment to the House oncurrent resolution
making arrangements for counting the elec
toral vote w as agreed to.
Speaker pro tern. Blackburn announced the
regular order to be consideration of the reso
lution providing that for the remainder of the
session one hour every morning shall he de
voted to the disposal of measures called upby
individual members, unless five objections are
made thereto.
Mr. Keifer, of Ohio, moved to amend by
striking out the word “five” and in-erting
“ten.” It was agreed to.
The resolution as amended was adopted.
'I he House then, at 1:45 o’clock, went into
committee of tlie whole, w ith Mr. Hammond,
of Georgia, in the chair, on the river and
harbor appropriation bill, the general debate
being limited to three hours.
The general debate upon the hill was par
ticipated in by Messrs. Breckinridge of Ar
kansas, Price of Wisconsin, Ochiltree, Stone,
of Massachusetts, Washburne of Minnesota,
Hepburn of lowa, and Funston of Kansas.
After the debate closed, the first section of
the bill was read.
Mr. Reed, ot Maine, made a verbal amend
ment for the purpose of calling the attention
of the committee to the fact that nearly all
the time devoted to general debate had been
consumed by friends of the bill.
Mr. O’Neill,of Missouri, expressed his grat
itude that the Chairman of the Committee on
Rivers and Harbors had been gracious enough
to allow the members to print their speeches
in the Record. He had not been able to secure
time to make his speech, but lie could
at least express lii views by making
motions to strike out the last word.
He proposed at every stage of the bill to offer
that amendment until his views regarding
river and harbor improvements were im
pressed on this committee. [Laughter.] lie
had that rigid under the rules, and fortu
nately he had a disposition to see that his rights
were preserved in th s respect. He criticised
the appropriation for the Mississippi river in
that only SOOO,OOO was appropriated for im
provements between the sou roes and the Ohio
river. Pending further action the committee
rose and the house adjourned.

New York, Feb. 3.—The headquarters
of O’Donovan Rossa's paper have been
temporarily removed to the Chambers
Street Hospital, where its editor-in-chief
lies to-day with the bullet from Mrs.
Dudley’s pistol still imbedded in his
back. Rossa's office in Centre street was
closed to-day. The physicians at the
hospital thought that Rossa had improved
in condition during the night. The only
visitor to Rossa up to 11 o’clock this
morning was his secretary, Patrick Joyce.
Mrs. Rossa w*ent to her home in Brooklyn
late last night, and had not returned this
morning up to the hour mentioned.
Mrs. Dudley was taken this morning
from the stationhouse where she had
been confined during the night to the
Tombs Police Court. A number of people
gathered at the stationhouse, and followed
the officer and his charge while they
walked to the court house. AVhen the
court was reached Mrs. Dudley was con
ducted into the private examination room,
where she remained until her case was
called by Justice Patterson. Arthur C.
Butts, a law yer, accompanied the accused
to court.
BUTTS’ PARTICIPATION.
When the fact of the presence of the
prisoner became known the hall of justice
became rapidly occupied, until entrance
was denied to later comers. The in
closure reserved for lawyers was
occupied by a number of the:e
gentlemen, several politicians, and a
swarm of reporters. When Mrs. Dudley
entered, the gaze of every person in the
room was riveted on her lace. She walked
calmly to the bar between the officer and
lawyer, and after looking for a moment in
the Justice’s face, let her eye* lall to the
floor. She looked a trifle tired, after hav
ing spent the night in the station house,
but her cheeks were still rosy and her
eyes quite bright. Later Mr. Butts pre
sented the case. He said that he had re
ceived a dispatch late last night signed
P. Edwards asking him to defend Mrs.
Dudley.
THE DISPATCH BOGUS.
He went to the station house and saw
Mrs. Dudley. She said she knew nothing
about the dispatch, but she desired him
to take cnarge of her case. He learned
by the morning papers to-day that the
dispatch was a bogus one. J. Pierre
pont Edwards, the British Consul denied
having sent anv dispatch whatever. Mr.
Butts said that he had not been
consulted by any of Mrs. Dudley’s friends
and did not know what he should do in
the case. He continued, “she told me
that she desired me to defend her.
While reserving my right as counsellor
to act in the case or withdraw 1 shall en
deavor to do what will be lor Mrs. Dud
ley’s best interest. For the present my
client will be mute. She neither pleads
guilty nor not guilty.”
l’he court remarked that she would be
held to await the result of Rossa’s injury
and remanded her.
MRS. DUDLEY’B NONCHALANCE.
AVhen Mrs. Dudley turned to leave the
court room a smile played upon her face.
She drew her cloak at>out her and walked
calmly out ot the room behind the officers.
The house surgeon of the Chambers Street
Hospital sent a communication to the
court stating that on an examination of
Rossa’s wound he found that the ball en
tered over the centre of tne left scapula,
taking au unward and inward course,
and passing beneath the skin for four
inches. This morning Rossa was in good
condition, having passed a comfortable
night and slept quietly. He w - as suffering
no pain and no unfavorable symptoms
bad developed yet.
M rs. Dudley w r as locked up in a
cell at the Tombs. She refused
to say anything to reporters, writing
to them that she bad been so advised by
her counsel. Mr. Butts, her counsel, was
spiecial County Judge and Surrogate in
Sullivan county, N. Y., from 1872 to 1875,
BRITISH ACTION.
J. Plerrepont Edwards, the British Con
sul, was asked to-day if the British rep
resentatives would take any action rela
tive to Mrs. Dudley’s case. lie replied
that he aid not know why the British
authorities should act voluntarily in the
matter. If Mrs. Dudley claimed'British
protection it would be given her. The
consulate would advise Mrs. Dudley if
she asked their aid as a British subject.
MRS. DUDLEY’S SANITY.
It has been made public that Mrs Dud
ley was regarded here as eccentric, if not
actually insane. She attempted suicide
on a railroad train on one occasion by
taking poison. Alter a short imprison
ment for this she was released through
executive clemency.
Surgeons at the Chambers Street Hos
pital have decided not to remove tbe
bullet from O’Donovan Eossa’sbody until
he is stronger. They cannot say definitely
when this will be. O’Donovan’s condition
this evening is unchanged from that of
early morning.
Mrs. Dudley applied to Police Captain
Copeland several times last w’eek lor a
permit to carry a revolver.
PHELAN’S FEARS.
The Chambers Street Hospital authori
ties agreed with Capt. Phelan that he
would be safer somewhere else, as the
hospital is thronged with Rossa’s friends
every day, and an attack was apprehend
ed from them by Capt.'Phelan. The lat
ter was removed to-night to the New r York
Hospital, where he will remain until he
is able to appear against his assailant.
A MYSTERIOUS EXPLOSION.
A loud explosion took place at the foot
of Delaney street aboutSo’clock to-night,
and created intense excitement for some
time, as it was attributed to dynamite.
When the police reached the scene they
could only find a bundle of burning rags.
The explosion is involved In much mys
tery.
THE PAPERS SELLING LIKE WILDFIRE.
London, Feb. 3. —Extra editions of the
newspapers containing cable dispatches
from New York, giving details of the
shooting of Itossa, are selling like wild
fire on the streets in every citv and town
throughout Great Britain. Nearly every
person seems jubilant over the announce
ment that the alleged chief of the dyna
miters had some of his own medicine given
him.
MRS. DUDLEY UNKNOWN AT CHELSEA.
The officials at the Chelsea Hospital,
where soldiers’ widows are trained as
nurses, express surprise at the state
ments cabled from New' York that Mrs.
Dudley claimed to have graduated as a
nurse at that institution. They say that
no woman of her name or description was
ever trained there. Seveial news
papers have identified Mrs. Dudley
with a woman named I.ucilla Dud
ley, who was found insensible in
a car of the Great Eastern Railroad
from the effects of chloroform, and who,
upon restoration to consciousness, at
tempted to swallow morphine. The de
scription and history of this woman tally
very closely with the description of Mrs.
Dudley in New York, and with certain
parts of her history as related by herself.
The chaplain of the prison in which she
was confined has started for New York
for the purpose of identifying her.
At Dublin the Irish Nationalists are
circulating a report to the eff ct that
Airs. Dudley was in the pay of the
English Government, and that'she was
sent to New York by the London police.
ROSSA TO UK SHELVED.
An Entirely New Policy to be Followed
by the Dynamiters.
Chicago, Feb. 3.—Before the report of
the shooting of Rossa had reached this
city a prominent Irishman here, in the
course of a conversation with a Tribune
reporter, is reported to-day as having
said: This King Pin of the dynamiters
to-day is supposed to be the Irish exile
know'n to the world as O'Donovan Rossa.
Yet he fills but a small place in the dyna
mite world, and in the course of events
the place he fills will be more insignifi
cant still if the policy outlined by the
Irish leaders on this continent culnii
nates in organization. O'Donovan Rossa
is about to be deposed, and Judge John
Brennan, of Sioux City, lowa, will proba
bly be placed at the head of an organiza
tion which will represent the best Intelli
gence of violent agitation in this country
and in Europe.
THE FRENCH HEAD CENTER.
In Pans Eugene Davis is spoken of as
the head of the Franco-Irish wing ol
the pratical Irish revolutionists, and
though he is a lieutenant of James
Stevens, he is more advanced than
his leader and a dynamiter of the first
water. Judge Brennan is a man of large
abilities. He is about 40 years of age,
stands close on to six feet, is brilliant and
witty, and possesses the happy faculty of
keeping his mouth shut. Capt. Brennan
has had the confidence of the Irish nation
alists for some time. The Irish leaders in
this country have regarded him as the
coming man.
A COMING CONVENTION.
Arrangements are being made for a
convention to be called in Chicago in
June next, when the straggling person
ality of the dynamiters wili be coalesced
and shaped into an organization upon a
plan similar to the Land League. One of
the results ot the coming convention will
be the laying on the shelf of O’Donovan
Rossaandhis chum. Prof. Mezzeroff. The
latter is supposed to be a Russian. The
fact is that he is a Galway Irishman.
The ascension of Judge Brennan to the
head of the dymamtters will have a ten
dency to put these men where they be
long. Under the new regime the public
buildings of London will be safe.
THE NAVY TO BE ATTACKED.
Her marine power will be Judge Bren
nan’s objective point, and the policy of
the destruction of England’s naval force
will be the main matter of consideration
in the coming Chicago convention. The
Irishmen who call the convention and
who will dictate the future policy of
violent Irish revolutionists are not in
favor cf indiscriminate attacks on public
buildings, and will decidedly object to
the use of dynamite or any other explo
sive by dissatisfied employes who are
anxious to be revenged upon their em
ployers.
NO BENEFIT IN OUTRAGES.
They realize that any outrages of this
character will only cause employers to
withdraw from business, and so react in
juriously upon them and their work.
Eugene Davis and Judge Brennan for
quite a long time have been in constant
communication on this matter of organi
zation, and I leel safe in saying that lie
fore the expiration of 1885 the violent
Irish revolutionists will be the most for
midable body of enemies to the empire that
ever came into existence.
SYVAIM AND MORROW.
Final Steps in One Case aud Initiatory
Ones in the Other.
YV ashington, Feb. 3.—The general
com t martial in session in this city has
concluded its labors in the Swaim case.
Ihis morning the court met early and
the signatures of the members were at
tached to the records and findings. These
were sent to tho Secretary of War this
afternoon, and if the findings do not acquit
Gen. Swaim the record and findings will
be forwarded through the War Depart
ment to President Arthur.
THE MORROW CASE.
Immediately upon the conclusion of the
proceedings in the Swaim case the Gen
eral Court Martial took up the case of
Col. Albert P. Morrow. The detail of the
court is the same as that for the trial of
Gen. Swaim, except that Paymaster Gen
eral Rochester has been relieved from
duty on it. The first charge is of signing
a false certificate in violation of the 10th
article ot war, and the second charge is
ot conduct unbecoming an officer aud a
gentleman in violation of the Gist article
of war. The specifications to the first
charge set out that Col. Morrow made and
®wned pay vouchers for certain months in
1883 in triplicate, and the specifications to
the second charge set out that he fraudu
lently negotiated the pay vouchers.
MORROW’S ANSWER.
Upon arraignment Col. Morrow pleaded
not guilty to both charges and to Mil the
specifications, but his counsel, ex-Gov.
Bout well, presented on his behalf a state
ment m the nature of a coulession and
avoidance, which declares in substance
that while the accused did sign pav
vouchers in triplicate the second set of
vouchers was not issued by him until the
holders of the first had relinquished all
claims under them and accepted as se
curity for the payment oftbesumsad
nnlhii‘J POn r t il em a Policy of insurance
on the life of the accused, and the third
set was not issued until a similar ar
rangement had been made with tfie hold
ers oi the second. This statement havin '
been made, the Judge Advocate an
nounced that the prosecution had but one
witness to bring in and that he had not
yet reached YV ashington, but would be
here to-morrow. He said that he would
probably be a witness for the defense also,
ami he asked the court to adjourn until
to-morrow, which was accordingly done.
WEBB’S YVICKEDXKSS.
Hie City Of Norwich’s Account with the
Rank Persistently Falsified.
Norwich, Conn., Feb. 3.—Anewcom
plication has arisen in regard to the re
cent embezzlements in the Merchant’s
Bank. Assistant Cashier YVebb, of that
bank, was also City Treasurer. Among
the charges against him is one to the
effect that he falsified the books of the
bank by persistently understating the city
deposit, The bank officers have now re
fused to pay drafts of the city on his
account, alleging that the city has al
ready overdrawn its account. The de
posit books of City Collector Dillaby show
that the city had deoosited SBO,OOO in the
hank up to Jan. 14. The books of the
bank show that the citv has over
drawn its account $21,000, though,
as nearly as can be ascertained,
only about $26,000 has really been
drawn by the city. The bank officials
claim that differences amounting to
sio,ooo were embezzled by YVebb from
the city’s fund, and the bank is not re
sponsible. The city claims that the
money was deposited, and it is now re
sponsible for the falsifying of the nooks
by its dishonest officers. It happens that
Collector Dillaby has deposit slips from
the bank. It is now believed that the
question will have to be decided by the
courts. ’

LONDON EXCITED BY RUMORS
OF AN INTENDED RAID.
Extraordinary Police Precautions Tak
en to Against the Reported
Ranger—Two More Important Arrests
Made—One of the Prisoners Believed
to be the Man Who Spirited the Trunk
Away.
London, Feb. 3.—Considerable excite
ment was produced to-day by the an
nouncement that friends of Cunningham,
who is accused of having caused the ex
plosion at the Tower of London, are al
ready beginning to take steps to rescue
him from Clerkeuwell prison.
Extraordinary police precautions have
been taken. A man was arrested who
had been observed loitering around the
prison, and who had deposited in the
Governor’s mail box a small paper on
which were written a few figures. The
police assert that this man is an ex-con
vict named Goodyear, and that his act
was a blind to the watchfulness of the
police. Goodyear was remanded. An
other arrest was made this evening to
which considerable importance is at
tached. This last prisoner had oeen pur
sued for several days, and was finally
run down this afternoon between 5 aud 6
o’clock by Police Inspectors Jarvis and
Aberline, who have been conducting the
prosecution against Cunningham.
AN ACCOMPLICE OF CUNNINGHAM.
It is believed that the man now under
arrest was au accomplice of Cunning
ham. A brown box, wbicn was pur
chased in White Chapel and substituted
for Cunningham’s brown trunk in his
Prescott street lodgings, and which mys
teriously disappeared from his rooms in
Scarboro street immediately after the ex
plosions, was found in possession of the
man arrested this evening. The prisoner
was discovered hiding in White Chapel,
not far from the lodgings last occupied by
Cunningham. It is said that the police
found in the prison’s possession, besides
the brown box, other evidence of a very
important nature and all necessary means
of establishing his identity. He will be
arraigned at the Bow Street Police Court
to-morrow.
Police now deny that they have re
ceived information that a plot to destroy
Westminster Abbey by clvnamite was
about to be carried into execution.
The Queen has expressed a desire to
contribute from her private purse a sum
sufficient to supplement and make effec
tive any reward which the government
wiV decide to offer for the arrest and con
viction of the criminals guilty of the
recent dynamite outrages. This an
nouncement has been welcomed by the
public, and so stimulated popular feeling
that it i9 believed that the immediate
result will be the organization of a
nat onal iund for the object suggested by
the Queen.
NO CONGRESSIONAL ACTION.
The House Sub-Committee Adverse to
Indorsing the Recent Query.
A\ ashington, Feb.3.—Representatives
Eaton, Lamb and Rice, of the sub-com
mittee of the Committee on Foreign
Affairs, to-day made a report to the full
committee on the resolutions recently re
ferred to them, calling upon the Secretary
of State for such information as he might
have relative to the connection of any
American citizen or citizens with the ex
plosions in London. The sub-committee,
while it viewed the use of dynamite with
abhorrence, held that to adopt resolutions
of the character referred to would be an
acknowledgment that citizens of the
United States were parties to a conspiracy
against England, and connected with the
recent explosions in London. It believed
that Congress ought not to assume such
a position. The report was tabled. The
subject in another form will, however, be
considered again at a meeting of the com
mittee next Thursday.

New York, Feb. 2.— Justus H. Schwab,
the notorious Socialist, who was arrested
by the police last night for inciting a
riot and assaulting an officer, was ar
raigned in court to-day. Many of his ad
herents were present, and evinced deep

THE BATTLE OF SHILOH.
Why Grant Made It the Subject of His
First Paper in the “Century.”
YV ASHINGTON, Feb. I.— One of the
prominent officials of the YVar Depart
ment said that it was a general subject,/)!
wonder in army circles that Grant should
have selected the subject ot Shiloh for his
first article about the war. The general
opinion among army people is that none
of the leading Union Generals in that en
gagement came out of it with anything
much more than a bare escape from posL
tivediscredit. It is thought that Grant
would have done much better if he had
selected any other ot his engagements.
A Mafor Genera! on the retired list, in
speaking of Grant, said:
It is not unusual for parents with a large
family of healthy childien to have a deformed
frail child upon w hich they concentrate their
affection. I know that Grant regards Shiloh
as the engagement for whicli he should have
the greatest credit. I was in Grant’s office
one morning when he was Secretary of War
Badeau, his military Secretary, was with
him. I knew Badeau very well) The latter
was then engaged in writing his life of Grant.
I said to Badeau: “I wish you would get
Graut to tell yop what he regards as his "reat
est achievement during the war and put it
into your book.” Badeau said in reply- “I
will ask Grant now.” So he witite the ques
tion on a card and sent it by a messenger to
Gen. Grant. Tne General was busy at his
desk, hut he turned almo*t immediately when
he read the card and said, “1 can tell you
Shiloh!” With this exclamation, and with
out further explanation, the General resumed
his work. Ihis explains, however, why
Grant should have selected Shiloh as the sub
ject of his first article. Gen. Buell is pre
paring an answer to it, at least he has writ
ten a letter to a gentleman in this city in
which he says that he is going to write such
an answer.

EXPOSITION FINANCES.
Congress to be Appealed to for Another
Appropriation,
New Orleans, Feb. 3.—YVhile the
question of the YY r orld’s Exposition
finances has not been publicly mentioned
except in a general way since the meet
ing at which the generous subscription of
the members of the Cotton Exchange and
other citizens tided the management over
pressing difficulties, the subject has never
theless been vigorously canvassed by the
parties interested.
The Exhibitors Association took the
matter up to-day at a special meeting.
The Director-General was to have been
present to explain to the exhibitors what
steps had been taken, but instead of at
tending he sent a telegram informing
them that at the meeting of the State
Commissioners, held on the previous eve
ning, it had been decided to appoint an
executive committee to proceed to Wash
ington and memorialize Congress lor an
additional appropriation to cover the de
ficit of $319,000. He suggested that if the
exhibitors thought fit to appoint a com
mittee to co-operate with the Com
missioners’ committee, the Commission
er* were ready to receive them. Tue
meeting concluded with the adoption of a
resolution indorsing the State Commis
sioners’ appeal to Congress for aid, aud
appointing a committee to confer with the
United States Commissioners’ Executive
Committee. Mr. Mead, United States
Commissioner, of Vermont, who was
present at the exhibitors’ meeting, said
that the exposition was more than paying
running expenses now; all that was
wanted was funds to pay up the back in
debtedness. The committee of the Com
missioners will leave for YV ashington to
night.
LOWER RAILROAD RATES NECESSARY.
Vicksburg, Miss., Feb. 3.—The Execu
tive Committee of the National Cotton
Planters’ Association adjourned to-daj
to meet in New Orleans Feb. 10, on the
occasion of the opening of the World’s
Cotton Convention. The work of the com
mittee was mainly devoted to details oi
arrangement for the great convention,
but much time to-day was spent in secret
session considering matters cf great im
portance connected with the manage
ment of the World’s Exposition, but
which cannot be made public until the
meeting of the convention. President
Morehead says that the week the National
Cotton Planters’ Association met
at the Atlanta Exposition was
the largest in attendance at the
Exposition. lie further repeated
a well known lact that that exposition
would have been au absolute failure as to
attendance, which means failure ail
around, had the railroad agents not re
duced local fares. He savs the local rates
of the roads running into New Orleans
are at present killing two birds with one
stone, viz.: themselves aud the exposi
tion. No matter how good the manage
ment of the exposition, nor what the at
tractions it offers, it will be a stupendous
failure as iar as attendance is concerned,
recoiling in its evil effect on the proiierty
of the roads, the city of New Orleans
and the entire South unless the
railroads at once bring down looai fares
very nearly to that oi through rates. Ii
the railroads will take this wise step im
mediately, President Morehead predicts
that the week of the World’s Cotton Con
vention at New Orleans will be the banner
week of the exposition iu attendance.
The Races at New Orleans.
New Orleans, Feb. 3.—The attend
ance at the races to-day was light. The

AMERICA’S FOREIGN POLICY.
VVhat is Thought of Her Recent Activity
in Chfii, Peril, Africa aud Corea.
London, Feb. 3.— The Post in a special
article this morning says that America’s
recent activity in Chili, Peru, Africa and
Corea indicates her intention of having a
foreign policy. The question is one of
considerable importance to England. The
policy adopted by Mr. Cleveland upon as
suming the office of President will be
watched with keen interest here. The
adoption of free trade would mean in
creased intercourse with the world at
large, and would compel America to ad
mit the existence of a regular foreign
policy, and to defend her interests in Asia
and Africa against European attacks.
AN ANGLO-AMERICAN ALLIANCE.
A leader in this evening’s Pall Mall
Gazette, advocating a political al
liance between the empire of Great
Britain and the republic of the United
States of America, attracts attention.
l’he American republic, the Gazette says,
is now at last beginning to have a foreign
policy. The doctrine of complete isolation,
so long maintained by American states
men, has perished. Minister Kasson’s
presence and activity at the Berlin con
ference on the Congo question must be
taken as potent of things to come. Amer
ica will continue to exert a great and
increasing Influence in the work of paci
fying Africa. The republic will, ere long,
claim admittance into European areopa
gus whenever and aling with questions per
taining to interests outside of
the boundaries of the European
contingent. England’s duty there
fore, the Gazette contends, is to
make the most of this great fact. Blood
is thicker than water. The United States
is England’s natural ally. After the fed
eration of the British empire there will
remain for British statesmen no task
comparable in importance to that of the
conclusion of an alliance between Great
Britain and the great republic which has
sprung from England’s loins. This al
liance, the article concludes, will teas
close and useful to the two great English
speaking peoples as that between Austria
and Germany.
PORTUGAL ON THE CONGO.
Both Banks of the River Reported to
Have Been Seized by a Man-of-YVar.
Berlin, Feb. 3.—lt is announced that
a Portuguese man-of-war has formal! v
annexed both banks of the Congo, anil
contested the coast line. Portugal has
emphatically rejected the proposals of the
African International Association which
France has approved. She demands the
whole of the territory on the right bank,
between the French frontier and Tcbil
loango, down to Congo, and eastward to
to the 14th degree of longitude.
A FORESTALLING STROKE.
London, Feb. 3.—The Pall Mall Ga
zette, commenting on the seizure of both
banks of the Congo river by Portugal,
says that it must be admitted that by this
stroke the government at Lisbon has
forestalled the decision of the powers.
The powers at the very moment Portugal
is making annexation, the Gazette says,
are discussing Germany’s proposal, which
has the support of England to grant to
the International African Association the
southern bank of the river which Portu
gal has appropriated.
A Fatal Mine Explosion.
Denison, Tex., Feb. 3.—A terrible ex
plosion of gas oceurred yesterday in a
coal mine near Savanna, Indian Territory.
There were several hundred miners
working in the mine at the time of the
explosion. Three are reported killed out
right, 89 seriously burned and 42 slightly
burned and otherwise injured.
Savanna is a small village on the Mis
souri, Kansas and Texas Railroad, in the
very heart of the Indian nation, about 75
miles south of McAllister and 50 miles
north of Atoka.
New England Failures.
Boston, Feb. 3. —The failure is an
nounced of Hiram Leonard & Cos., dealers
in leather and hides. The liabilities are
about $250,000, a large proportion being
contingent indebtedness. The assets are
largely in excess of the liabilities.
Crocker & Brown, tanners, of Salem,
are somewhat involved in the embarrass
ment of the Boston firm, and Salem paper
has gone to protest. The failure is at
tributed to the dullness of business and
lack of accommodation from banks.
A Sense of Goneness.
“Goneness” is hard to define scientifi
cally, yet you know what it is when it
overcomes you. It is a compound of
lassitude, debility, and “the miserables,”
flavored with a seasoning of “the blues.”
Now you know. To get rid of “goneness,”
take Brown’s Iron Bitters, and be well
and strong. Mr. J. 31. Gentry, Hanni
bal, Mo., says: “I took Brown’s Iron
Bitters for pain in the back, loss of appe
tite, kidney disease, with good results.”

President Arthur Notifies Congress of
the P tiered Presentation—Advan

President, to Put in a Word in Favor
or Placing tile, Ex-President on tho
Army’s Retired List.
\A asuinutun, Feb. J.—President Ar
thur to-day transmitted to the House tho
following message:
To the ilouee of Reureaeitfatioee'.
I take especial pleasure in layiug before
Congress the generous offer made ov Mrs.
cratit to give to toe government in perpetual
trust the swords and military and civil testi
monials lately belonging to Gen. Grant, a.
copy ol tlie deed o£ trust and ol the letter ad
dressed to me by Wuitain H. Vanderbilt will
explain the nature and motive of this oiler.
Appreciation ol Gen. Grant’s achievements
ana recognition ot lus just lame have
in part taxon thesuape of numerous memen
toes and gifts which, while dear to him
possess lor ibo nation au exceptional interest
These relics of great historical value havu
passed into the hands of auother whose con
siderate action restored the collection to Mrs.
Grant as a life trust, on condition tnat at tho
death of Gen. Grant or sooner,at Mrs. Grant’s
option,it snail become the property of the gov
ernment as set forth tu the accompanying
papers, in the exercise of the option thus
given her, Mrs. Grant elects that the trust
shall forthwith determine and asks that tho
government designate a suitable place of de
posit and responsible custodian lor the col
lection.
THE RECOGNITION EARNED.
The nature of this gilt and the value of tho
relies which the generosity of a private citi
zen, jotued to a high sense of public regard
which animates Mrs. Grant, have thus placed
at the disposal ol the government, domanu
full aud signal recognition on behalf ol the
nation at the hands of its representatives,
l therefore ask Congress to take suitable
action lo accept the trust and to provide for
its secure custody, at Lite same time recording
the appreciative gratitude of the peopleof the
United states to the donors. In this connec
tion I may pertinently advert to the pending
legislation in the Senate and House of Repre
sentatives looking to national recognition
of Gen. Grant’s eminent service by pro
viding means lor his res torn,ion
to the army on the retired list. That Congres,
by takiug such action will give expression ti
the almost universal desire of the people oi
this nation is evident, aud 1 earnestly urgt
the passage of an act simitar to senate hit
>o. 2,i;iu w hich, uot interfering with the con
stitutional prerogative of appointment, wil
enable the President in his discretion to uomi
uaie Gen. Grant us a General on the retiree

ELOPED WITH Ills PUPIL.
A Country Schoolmaster's Struggle foi
a Bride—the Chase or a Milford
Farmer A /ter His Runaway Daughter
aud (low tho Old Oeutleinau wan
Battled.
The people of Milford township, Cam
den county, N. J., are greatly excited
over the elopement ot Ralph R. Hargreve,
a schoolmaster, and Fanny Louise Sick
ler, the 10-year-old uaughter of Pember
ton L. Sickler, ode of the wealthiest tann
ers in the county, ii argreve, who former
ly lived in Tanshorough, a little town
near Sicklerville, has been teaching
school in the township since last .Septem
ber. He is a blonde, 23 years ohl,
of medium height and build, and
handsome. Fanny Sickler was one of
his. pupils. She was one of
the acknowledged beauties of the
county. The girl’s mother discovered
a string of sentimental verses with Har
greve’s name signed to them in one of her
daughter’s school-books. Miss Fanny
confessed that she was head over ears in
love with her teacher, aud that he could
not live without her. She explained that
Hargreve had over $l,OOO and wanted to
get married at once. PapaSickler’s raze
was boundless, aud he plumply told his
daughter that he would send her ta a lu
natic usylum it she persisted in her love
tor the school teacher. She was not al
lowed to attend school again.
Monday afternoon the girl managed to
slip away lroin her home, and met her
lover at the school house a mile away.
Her escape was soon discovered, and
Farmer Sickler and two neighbors named
Dunlap and Brown started in hot chase,
rhe pursue is drove to the school house,
which the) utid locked, and the school
master vi' a, reinforced by his brother
Charles, Elias Yamal, Josiah Edgar and
George Voorhees, Jr., all oi Tanshorough,
who had agreed to help the couple escape.
To the demand oi the angry father for his
laughter, the pedagogue coolly replied
that he couldn’t have her, and slammed
the door in his lace. Sickler and Dunlap
started f* r Camden to procure a warrant
for Htu “’s arrest on the charge of
abduction,Vniie Farmer Brown remained
to stand guard, armed with a big navy
revolver. The schoolmaster’s brother and
young Vorhees started off, and in a short
time came back with a spring wagon
drawn by two horses. Then the school
master and Miss Sickler opened the door,
and old Isaiah Brown, utter deliberately
cocking his revolver, said:
“If joutry to take that gal away I’ll
blow your brains out.”
This sanguinary declaration made the
schoolmaster pause, and Miss Sickler he
gau to cry. Hargreve’s friends came up
at this moment and seized Brown and
disarmed him. Brown became profane
and started home togetaguu. The lov
ers and their four young lriends got into
the spring wagon and started for Camden,
seven miles away. On the outskirts of
Cainden the runaways and their friends
met Farmer Sickler, Mr. Dunlap, and
Squire Kerswell on their way to the
schoolhouse. The spring wagon (lashed
by, and Justice Kerswell got up in the
buggy and shouted:
“Ralph Hargreve, 1 arrest vou.”
The escaping party laughed', and Squire
Kerswell, greatly excited, pulled out his
revolver and tired in the air, hoping to
frighten the runaways into surrendering.
Young Hargreve, however, pulled out a
horse pistol and blazed away at the pur
suers. Dunlap stopped his horse, and the
wagon that carried the runaways rattled
into Camden. When they arrived at the
loot of Market street, in Philadelphia, they
took a carriage and drove directly to the
Girard House. Sickler and his compan
ions were not far behind. When the
agry father entered the Girard House he
saw the runaway schoolmaster stand
ing at the marble counter. Mr.
sickler was greatly excited and
accused Chief Clerk Carmack of
ueing a party to the plot to assist
in the clandestine marriage of his daugh
ter. Mr. Carmack asked Farmer Sickler
what he was talking about. While the
excited agriculturist was trying to ex
plain Hargreve hurried into the parlor,
and telling Miss Sickler and his friends
to follow they quickly entered the car
riage at the door, and the driver was
ordered to take the passengers to the
Broad street station. They had but 15
minutes in which to catch the Boston
i-xpress, which left atfi:3o in the evening.
They got to the statioa in time, however,
i’he lather of the girl, when be discovered
that the birds had flown, rushed to Fourth
and Chestnut streets and telegraphed to
Chief of Police Murphv, of Jersey City, to
arrest the fugitives. Up to midnight he
had not received an answer to hii tele
gram.
