Thomson (McDuffie county) ,/ ourji-i! : In
our last issue we stated that there were sev
eral negroes in the quarantine section who
had been directly exposed to the small-pox
and were expected to have it. One of these,
a little child, developed a case yesterday
morning. \\ uh this exception there have
been no other cases. Nearly all of the old
cases have recovered, and Mayor Durham le
norts only three cases now under treatment.
There i- no excitement here whatever. Busi
ness is in its regular channel. All of the
-tores are oiien—lor fact, none of them have
at any time been closed—trade Is reviving,
and the schools and church services resume I.
i hose who are here aud know the true condi
tion of affairs feel no uneasiness whatever,
but cannot help being indignant wlien those
at a distance, who do not know, keep insisting
| ' hat the small-pox is raging in Thomson.
There is no excuse for the gross exaggerations
and misrepresentations so persistently pub
lished of the small-pox in Thomson.

Key 'Vest Democrat: The tomato market
North, iike the orange, appears to be glutted.
A commission merchant showed us a return
sale this week in which fifty cent* was the
maximum price per crate. This wil’ hardly

have not been very successful with their to
mato crops this season. The continued rains
have destroyed a large number of plants,
while the worms have been more numerous
than ever before. The prices brought in the
Northern market have been very low indeed,
and in many cases not paying the cost of
transportation. This failure in the price is
caused, we understand, from the large quan
tities shipped from the Bermuda* and West
India islands.

TEMPORARILY SETTLED.
A Dull Day In tiie Senate—The Amend
ments to the Sundry Civil BUI in the
House—lndividual Substitutes for the
Liver and Harbor BUI—V Case Like
Speer’s.
Washington, Feb. •_*}.—Mr. Hale,
from the Committee on Appropriations,
reported with amendments the regular
annual naval appropriation bill, which
was placed on the calendar and ordered
printed. The bill was accompanied by a
report which was also ordered printed.
Mr. Hale said he would endeavor to call
up the bill to-morrow at 12 o’clock.
Mr. Ingalls said a short executive ses
sion was desirable, and moved that the
Senate proceed to the consideration of
executive business.
Tiie Democrats opposed the motion and
called tin* yeas and uavs. The call resulted
in yeas :;1, nays 23. so the motion was agreed
to. and at 12:u5 the Senate went into execu
tive session.
After to minute-* were spent in executive
-ession the ihiors were reopened and legisla
tive business was resumed. The legislative
appropriation Dill was passed and the silver
bill was then taken up. Xlr. Sherman took
the floor.
The discussion was further participated in
.by Mes-rs. McPherson, Beck, Hill aud Coke,
ind without action the hill went over.
The Senate at G:OS went into executive ses
sion, and at 7:21 adjourned.
IN THK HOUSE.
In the House, Mr. Forney, of Alabama,
submitted the conference report on the army
appropriation bill and it was adopted. Agree
ment was reported on ail the amendments
except that relative to the hours during which
c urts-martial may hold their sessions. A
further conference was ordered.
i he post office appropriation hill, xvith the
senate amendments, was taken from the
Speaker’s table and referred to the Committee
on Appropriations.
The Committee on Appropriations reported
tlic fortification appropriation bill and it was
referred to the committee of the whole.
Mr. Ellis submitted a substitute for the bill,
which took the same course.
Mr. Randall moved to suspend the rules so
that the sundry civil appropriation bill may
tie considered for four hours, which time shall
ie occupit and in debate on the clauses relatiug
to the su-pension of silver coinage and the
World’s Industrial and Cotton Exposition,
three hours to be devoted to debate on the
first named item ami one hour on the latter.
The 101 l shall be subject only to amendments
to strike out or amend clauses, after which
the previous question shall be considered as
ordered.
Mr. Bland demanded a second. The motion
was seconded—los to 85. The half hour’s de
bate under th e ru es was not asked for, and
the House proceeded immediately to vote on
the motion.
.Xlr. Randall's motion was lost—yeas 1 IS,
nays 14ti. Ihe result was received with ap
plause from ihe silver men.
Mr. Randall then rose and said: “■Recog
nizing the significance of the vote just taken,
and knowing that the issue was distinctly
made as against the silver clause, and being
aware that tiie majority lias declared against
that proposition, I therefore assume mysell
the responsibility (believing that the mem
bers of the Appropriations Committee, if the
opportunity was offered, would unanimously
sustain me in the position) of moving to sus
pend the rules in the manner stated in lli *
re olution, with everything connected with
the silver coin ge eliminated irom both the
bill aud resolution.”
THE NEW ORLEANS EXPOSITION.
Mr. Randall then moved to suspend the
rules so as to take up the sundry civil bill and
consider for one hour the clause relating to
the New Orleans Exposition. This was ob
jveted toils not specifically eliminating the
silver question, aud thereupon Mr. Randall
asked unanimous consent to strike from the
bill the silver coinage question, but Mr. Hep
burn. of lowa, objected. Then Mr. Randall
modified his motion so as to move to suspend
the rules and pass tho sundry civil bill (with
the silver clause stricken out). A two hours’
debate on the New Orleans Exposition then
ensued, without an opportunity being offered
to amend the same.
Xlr. Kelley, of Pennsylvania, said that he
proposed to vote for the New Orleans appro
priation, in disregard as to whether there
had been mismanagement, as to whether
there had lieen failure; or as to whether there
was any prospect that a dollar of the money
would ever come back to the treasury. The
faitn of the Cui'cd States was pledged to
every nation of the xv rid that the exhibition
should not fail in the midst of its career for
want of government support. The govern
ment was attempting to make reciprocal
treaties for the sake of trade, hut lie believed
that the New Orleans Exposition would do
more to promote the harmony of the country,
to strengthen tin* government, and to promote
our industries, than all tiie treaties that had
lieen sent to the Senate, or were under con
sideration by the department.
Xlr. Mills, of Texas—lf at that exposition
you should see articles, the product of the 1 * -
iir of foreign people, that were very meri
torious, and it was proposed to exchange
those articles for articles produced in the
(lilted Slates, would jou be ready to vote for
:he law that would remove the barrier and
allow exchange:
Xlr. Kelley—l will meet the gentleman at
I’liillippi in the Ways and Xlcans Committee
just after the election of the Speaker of the
Forty-ninth Congress.
VOTING UNDER PROTEST.
Xlr. Bayne, of Pennsylvania, said that
though he would vote for Hie appropriation
m order to protect the honor of the country.
In* would do so under protest.
Messrs Milliken and Reed, of Xlaine, and
Potter, of New York, protested against the
method of passing appropriation bills under
a suspension of the rules without opportunity
for scrutiny.
Mr. Kanilall said that in season and ont of
season Ik* had informed tlie House that unless
the Appropriations Committee had the right
of wav there was danger of an extra session,
mil repeatedly hail the co'rmittee been voted
down. It was manifest that if this bill was
to Ik* passed in time to become a law before
Xlarch 4. it must be passed in the way he pro-
I*osed.
Mr. Randall’s motion was then agreed to.
and the two hours debate allowed under it
was begun.
Xlr. Horr, of Michigan, opposed the New
Orleans Expo-it'on aifliropriation. Congress
had already in good faith loaned tho exposi
fi n f 1,000,001 on the statement that J750,0e0
had already been raised, aud that more would
lie raised. What had been done with that
♦ 1/00.000? That was a C'-niiiidriini. He defied
any man to take the reports of the board of
management and show what had been done
with it. except in a general way, such as did
not admit of any accuracy whatever. The
exposition had had great success in getting
into debt, aud had created ail indebtedness of
$60,0X1.
Mr. Potter, of New York, opposed the ap
propriation. It was entering upon a course
which was the overthrow and annihilation of
the constitution. It was changing the gov
ernment into one of patronage. It was con
verting the States and people of the States in
to beggars and suppliants. lie protested that
if Congress was to give this money it would
with equal reason tie called upon to appropri
ate for expositions in every seaport or to. as a
new element in the government of this coun
try. and (he regretted to sav it) under Demo
cratic ausi.i cs, there was to lie introduced a
doctrine that Congress might lay taxes, that
it might have money to bestow upon special
localities.
Mr Klxrood, of Illinois, gave notice that he
vvouid at the proper tune offer an amend
ment, that the Speaker appoint a special com
mittee of three members to investigate the
management of the exposition, and rejiort
to the House before Dec. 10. Then if Con
gress wanted to pay out more money to the
exposition, or if it wanted to be defrauded
oat of any more money it could make the ap
propriation.
Mr. Hammond, of Georgia, contended that
the honor of the United States was not in
volved in the cx]>osition. The question pre
sented was whether the United States would
undertake to pay debts which the exposition
might be unable to nay.
Mr. Folleit, of Ohio, supported the appro
priation, aud contended that the honor of the
nation was at stake to make the exposition
a success. He also maintained that the man
agement of the exposition had been conducted
not only honestly, but economically.
Mr. O’Neill, or Pennsylvania, said that bis
constituents would not indorse his action if
he did not vote to give away this 5300,000 to
the exposition.
Xlessrs. Keifer of Ohio, Cannon of Illinois,
and Russell of Massachusetts, also favored the
appropriation.
Mr. Ellis, Of Louisinu, answered and con
troverted the charge that there had been mis
management in the affairs of the exposition.
It was almost a work of enchantment that so
much had been done with so little money.
The debate having closed, the bill went over
until to-morrow, and the House at 7:05 ad
jonrned.

SUBSTITUTES FOR THE RIVER AND HAR
BOR BILL.
Representative YX’illis lias submitted a prop
osition to tiie members of the Committee on
Rivers and Harbors (individually) to aban
don the river and harbor bill now before the
House, and to report a measure recommend
ing an appropriation of $5,000,090. to be ex
pended under direction of the Secretary of
War iu completing or preserving unfinished
works of improvement. No conclusion was
reached thereon to-day. 11 the proposition is
favorably received Mr. Willis will endeavor
to pass ilie proposed bill under a suspension
of the rules.
Representative King intends to introduce a
joint resolution providing fur an appropria
tion of $lO/09,0 0, to be expended under d'-
rection of the President, iu the prosecution
of such works of improvement on rivers aud
harbors as are now in progress,
MAHONE AND RIDDLKBERGER AT OUTS.
During the debate on the legislative, execu
tive and judicial appropriation bill in the Sen
ate to-day. a slight tiff occurred between Ma
lione and Riddlelierger while discussing Ma
hotie’s motion to make tiie cierk to the Com
mittee on I'uhiic Buildings an annual cleik.
Riudleberger objected uu less the other clerks
were similarly treated. He said that that
committee did not meet probably more than
once a week. M - hone retorted that Uiddle
berger had probably not seen his (Riddleber
gers) commit!* o I lerk in the past three
months. Riddlcbcrger said he was not trying
to take care or Ins clerk. In the course of Ins
remarks In* also s ml lie had * ome to the con
clusion that a Senator who was not a member
of the Committee on Appropriations might as
well be at home as iu Washington.
A SIMILAR CASK TO SPEER’S.
The Senate in executive session to-day
speut an hour in considering the nomination
of George H. Craig to be District Attorney for
the Northern district of Alabama, but without
reaching action. There was less than a
quorum present at adjournment. The divi
sion in respect to tins ca.-e is similar to that
upon Emory Speer’s nomination, Senator
Brown and the Republicans being in favor of
confirmation and the remaining Democrats
being iu opposition.
INCREASED NAVAL APPROPRIATIONS.
The Senate Committee on Appropriations,
by amendments, have increased the naval ap
propriation bill as sent from the House by a
net sum of $2,364,r.00. The principal items of
increase are the appropriation of $2,0-10,000 for
continuing work on the double turretted mon
itors; SSOO/00 for ihe armament of the new

ted for the construction of steel cruisers and
gun boats and $50,000 for a general Traiute
uance of the Bureau of Y'ards aud Dock.-.
CONFIRMED.
Tlic Senate confirmed the nomination of
Dayton Hale, as Postmaster at Columbus,
Miss.
NOXIINATION.
Among the nominations sent to the Senate
to-day was that * f II nry J. Hayncsworth, of
Albany, N. Y’., to be Captain and Assistant
Quartermaster in the army. Ilaynesworth is

NATIONAL CAPITAL GOSSIP.
How Brewster Carried Ills Point—Dorr’s
Amendment to the Exhibition Bill
Clause.
Washington, Feb. 20. —Among the
items in the deficiency bill passed under
a suspension of the rules ou Tuesday is
one which provides for the payment of
the elegant adornment, of the room occu
pied by the Attorney General. >lr.
Brewster has tried for two ears to
secure an appropriation for this purpose,
but he has been unsuccessful, lie asked
Mr. Randall’s committee to l* ;ke good
the deficiency this year, but they were
not disposed to allow the claim. One day
last week Mr. Brewster visited the com
mittee room in person aud set forth
this claim, hut the committee did
not give him any encouragement.
“Very well, gentlemen,” said Mr.
Brewster, “1 will pay for the furniture
myself. But l shall occupy the office
only a lew days longer, and when 1 go 1
will take the articles which I pay for
with me. Jf it is your desire that my
successor should fiud a bare floor, an un
comfortable office and no decorations but
musty law books, I am perfectly w illing
to have it that way.” Then he left, and
within ten minutes after the door closed
the desired amount had been added to the
bill.
THE SPANISH AND MEXICAN TREATIES.
It is understood that an agreement has
been made by the representatives of
Spain and the United States by which the
Spanish reciprocity treaty convention
shall be continued for one year, so that
the next Congress may act upon it. It is
proposed to call up the treaty in the ex
tra session of the Senate, and if possible
have it ratified. Then the legisla
tion necessary to carry it into
effect will be prepared for the
next House when It meets. A similar
arrangement has been made in regard to
the Nicaraguan treaty. The Mexican
Government and the Government of the
United States have, it is understood, con
cluded an agreement by which the Mexi
can reciprocity treaty’ will be kept alive
until the next Congress has a chance to
pass upon the legislation carrying its
provisions into effect.
HOUR’S AMENDMENT.
Mr. Horr, of Michigan, will move to
amend the New Orleans clause of the
sundry civil bill to-morrow by striking
out the appropriation of $;i00,0(>0 and pro
viding instead thereof that the Secretary
of the Treasury shall pay all claims of
creditors outside the State of Louisiana
and all premiums which have been
awarded but not paid. It is the belief
among members to-night that this amend
ment will be adopted belore the bill is
passed.
The Composition of the Court-Martial.
Washington, Feb. 26.—Army officers
to-day, in commenting on the charge
made by Senator Ingalls yesterday that
Gen. Swaim was persecuted because he
“had not received the oil of coronation at
YVest Point,” say that ther< 1 Ino founda
tion for any such statement. The detail
of the court, they say, shows that six of
its members were from civil life and five
from the Military Academy, so that the
power of acquittal was in the hands of
the civil officers. Those officers were
Gen. Miles, Gen. Murray, Col. Smith, Col.
Broofce, Col. Bradley and Col. Andrews.
The other officers, Gen. Schofield, Gen.
Holabird, Gen. Newton, Gen. Ayres and
Col. Black, are West Point graduates.
Dinner to Journalists.
Washington, Feb. 26.—A very band,
some dinner was given at YVelcker’s
Hotel to-night by Maj. E, A. Burke, of the
New Orleans Timas-Democrat, to his fel
low journalists in YVashington. Nearly
all the YVashington correspondents and
prominent local newspaper men were
among the guests.
Death of Jogeph ClUby.
Macon, Feb. 26.—Joseph Clisby, one of
the oldest editors in the South, died here
to-day after a lingering illness. He was
editor ot the Florida Sentinel up to 1857,
when he removed to Macon, and began the
publication of the Macon Telegraph. He
retired from journalism a few" years ago
on account ol leeble health. Tbe deceased
was born in Medford, Mass., and was 67
years of age.
O’Brien Discharged.
Chicago, Feb. 26.—1n the preliminary
hearing of Sullivan and O’Brien for per
jury committed in the trial of Mackin and
others for election frauds, O’ Hi en was
discharged, on motion of the District At
torney, the evidence not being sufficient
to hold him. Sullivan and the other ac
cused parties were held for a futuie hear
ing.
A Poll Clerk Sentenced.
Nexv York, Feb. 26. —Frederick A.
White, poll clerk in the Twenty-fourth
election district of the First Assembly
district, was convicted to-day of having
held back his poll list at the last election,
lie was sentenced to one year’s imprison
ment.
Drowned YVltile Duck Hunting.
Chattanooga, Feb. 26.—Charles Rick
ey and Frank Steele, two wealthy fruit
growers in this county, were drowned last
evening in Chickamauga creek, six miles
from this city, while duck hunting. Their
boat was overturned.
DIVISION NOT REACHED.
THE CENSURE MOTION STILL
UNDER DISCUSSION.
Lord Salisbury Arraigns the Govern
ment for Its Slumbering Follcy—The
Egyptian Right of Self-Government—
A Protest from Manchester—The Gov
ernment Whips Claiming a Majority.
London, Feb. 26.—1n the House of
Lords this evening the Marquis of Salis
bury moved a vote of censure of the gov-
A-nment’s Egyptian policy. The motion
was greeted with applause. Lord Salis
bury said, in submitting the motion, that
the government had acted throughout as
if they were unwilling to arrive at a de
cision
UNTIL THE VERY LAST MOMENT.
They always waited until external pres
sure had forced them to form some kind
of decision. The result of these hastily
conceived measures had lieen through
out deplorable. In the absence of any
fixed policy the government had adopted
the absurd plan ol taking advantage
of the chivalry and self-devotion of one
of the noblest men of the age. Words
and promises were used to accomplish
what they lacked courage to attain by
force of arms.
The speaker then reviewed the events
in Egypt from the period of Arabi’s re
bellion to that of the present troubles in
the Soudan. The government, he de
clared, knew that Gen. Gordon was in
danger, and, although they knew he was
endangered, they held back from sending
him succor, thereby incurring the pen
alty of
THE PRESENT INDELIBLE DISGRACE.
Their conduct had been all along an
alternation between periods of slumber
and periods of rush. The rush, though
however X'ehcment, was invariably too
unprepared and too unintelligent tore
pair tbe damages done during the periods
of slumber. lie would not say that the
government’s policy had been bad, be
cause the government had no policy wor
thy of the name. YVere they going to
hold the Soudan, or were they going to
abandon it? The speaker thought the
government themselves did not know.
The Conservatives would insist that the
influence of England should be kept
prominent in Egjpt. They were deter
mined that
A CONSISTENT POLICY
was absolutely necessary. Without such
policy there was no safety. But such
policy could not be expected from a Min
istry so hopelessly halting as the present
one. It it were continued in power.
England must expect to lose her prestige
in the eyes of the world and be drawn to
disaster and disgrace, which could never
be effaced. [Cheers.] Baron YVentworth,
Liberal, moved the amendment of which
he gave notice of the vote of censure.
This amendment declares that Her
Majesty’s forces should not occupy the
Soudan any longer than is necessa r y, and
that in the interests of Egypt anil the
British Empire it is undesirable to pre
x'ent the Egyptian people from exercising
the right to
SELECT THEIR OYVN GOVERNMENT.
The Earl of Northbrook, First Lord of
the Admiralty, said he thought an imme
diate exposition ot the government’s poli
cy in regard to Egypt, would be inoppoi
tune and, in fact, highly dangerous.
The Duke of Richmond, Conservative,
predicted that unless the government
changed its policy the indignant voice
of the country would drive them from
the offices to which they had added no
credit.
GRANVILLE’S VIEWS.
Lord Granville, Foreign Secretary, said
that whoever is to hold Khartoum here
after must suppress the Mahdi, but it
need not necessarily be England.
The debate on Egypt was adjourned in
both Houses without reaching a division.
THE WHIPS CLAIM A MAJORITY.
Lord Salisbury’s declaration in the
House ot Lords this evening, which was
practically in favor of an English protec
torate over Egypt and an indefinite oc
cupation of the Soudan, has restored the
chances ot success of the government on
the censure motion. The progress of the
whips’ negotiations in the lobby has dis
closed a strong tendency on the part of
doubtful Radicals to adhere to the gov
ernment, they seeing that if the Tories
obtain power a peace or evacuation
policy will be far remote. The govern
ment whips are now confident of thirty
majority.
A PROTEST FROM MANCHESTER.
At Manchester last night a large public
meeting was held to protest against the
government’s Egyptian policy. Speeches
were made by prominent Conservatives,
anil a noteworthy letter on the present
situation from the Marquis of Salisbury
was read. In this letter the Conserva
tive leader maintains that England has
special obligations to fulfill in Egypt, be
cause she has destroyed the Egyptian
army, has thrown the government into
confusion, aud has allowed a fanatical re
bellion to assume proportions threaten
ing to the existence of Egypt. The spill
ing of English blood merely to slaughter
savages anil then retire is a revolting pol
icy. The restoration of order cannot be
effected without the support and guidance
ot the English for a long period of time.
THE NEW VOTING ROLL.
A. provision has been inserted in the
registration bill bringing the new roll ol
voters into operation Nov. 1, to enable a
general election under the enlarged fran
chise to ue held in December.
SHOOTING AFFRAY IN ROME.
A Lady Tries to Kill the Alleged Seducer
of Her Sister.
Rome, Ga.. Feb. 26.— Last night a war
rant was sworn out against John Van
diver by Miss Carrie O’Barr for seduc
tion. Miss O’Barr lives with her parents
in South Rome, is about 20 years old, and
was quite a belle. She says that about a
year ago, under a solemn promise of mar
riage, young Vandiver accomplished her
ruin, and that she is now the mother of a
child three months old, and Vandiver
lias repeatedly refused to marry
her. Mrs. Thompson, a married
sister of Miss O’Barr, invited
Vandiver to her house yesterday and
asked him which he had rather do—marry
her sister, whom he had ruined, or go to
the penitentiary. He said: “Go to the
penitentiary.”
About 7:30 o’clock this morning young
Vandiver was standing in the door of
Lamar & Cutts, on Broad street, when
Mrs. Thompson walked up to him. Call
ing his name she drew a pistol from un
der her cloak and, placing it within two
feet of his face, fired. The ball grazed
Vandiver’s head and the powder burned
his face severely. Mrs. Thompson cocked
the pistol again and was about to fire a
second time, when Mr. Cutts caught her
and Vandiver retreated hastily. A police
man arrived at this time and placed Mrs.
Thompson under arrest. The pistol was
a 38-calibre Smith & Wesson.
The affair has caused great excitement
here. Mrs. Thompson was put under bond
for her appearance at the next term of
court. She seemed disappointed at not
killing Vandiver, who, she said, had ruiu
ed her family. Vandiver claims that he
can prove his innocence at the proper
time.
TWO DESPERATE NEGROES.
Murderous Assaults on Citizens of
Dougherty and liaker Counties.
Albany, Ga., Feb. 26.—Yesterday Gus
Thompson, agent on the Dunn place, 12
miles west of this place, had a desperate
conflict with a negro. Thompson had
sent a wagon load of cotton seed to the
station, and as he was following it he was
met in a lonely partol the road by a negro
named Dan Mullens, with whom" he had
some altercation a few days before. The
negro pointed a double barreled shot gun
at Thompson and attempted to shoot him.
Thompson wrested the gun out of the ne
gro’s hands, drew his pistol,and emptied it
at Mullens, who had bidden behind a tree.
A hand to hand conflict then ensued, in
which Thompson struck Mullins across
the head with the pistol, whereupon the
negro drew a knife and stabbed him
seriously, making a terrible gash across
the left thigh. The negro made his
escape.
At the Slappev plantation, in Baker
county, 20 miles south of Albany, a negro
who had been discharged from the place
last year went there yesterday morning
and was about to have a difficulty with
one of the tenants. John Slappey went
to separate them, when the negro struck
him senseless with a heavy club. Slap
pey’s younger brother. Rutherford, who
had no weapon, went to bis brother’s
rescue, when he received a similar blow
across the head, rendering him also un
conscious. The negro escaped. Dr. Hills
man, of this place, who visited the in
jured men, says that while their wounds
are serious—both on the left side of the
head, above the temple—they are not ne
cessarily fatal.
STILL IN DOUBT.
The Cabinet Reports Mere Conjectures—
The President-Elect to Leave Albany
on Tuesday.
Albany, N. \\, Feb. 26.—C01. Lamont
is authority lor the statement that all
newspaper reports concerning the Cabi
net are the merest conjectures. The Presi
dent-elect has decided upon some of his
Cabinet, but not all. \Y r hat Col. Lamont
says applies to the statement in the New
York World ol this morning as well as to
others.
Senator J ackson’s name, which has been
seriously considered by the President
elect for a Cabinet position, whether Mr.
Jackson knows it or not, has been finally
passed by. The name of YVilliam C.
Whitney is again under consideration.
President-elect Cleveland adheres to his
determination not to leave Albany until
Tuesday morning.
The report that Manton Marble was
summoned to revise Mr. Cleveland’s In
augural is untrue. Marble came unin
vited, and has not seen such portions ol
the address as are partially completed.
TREATED AS CABINET MEMBERS.
Washington, Feb. 26.— Mr. Lamar is
back, but has nothing to say. Neverthe
less, his colleagues of the Senate regard
him and Garland and Bayard as members
ol the next Cabinet, and treat them ac
cordingly.
A POLITICIAN’S VIEWS.
An interesting letter has been received
here from a Buffalo politician which says:
“I can tell you the meaning of this mys
terious talk about two members of the
Cabinet from New Y'ork. Cleveland is
bound to have his old law partner, Wil
son S. Bissell, with him in YVashington,
and has tendered him the office of Post
master General. Bissell has declined,
but Cleveland insists. He also wants
Manning lor Secretary of the Treasury,
and both Bissell and Manning will be in
the Cabinet if the former will yield.
Cleveland does not care what criticism is
passed upon his advisers, nor does he
care where they come from, if they are
men to his liking.”
MANNING’S ELIGIBILITY.
Judge Lawrence, B’irst Comptroller of
the Treasury, was asked to-day for his
opinion of the question ot Daniel Man
ning’s eligibility to the office of Secretary
of tbe Treasury because he is a stock
holder in a national bank. He said: “The
same question was carefully examined
by Judge Folger when he was appointed
Secretary of the Treasury, and he decided
that tbe Secretary might be a stock
holder in a national bank. During the
whole time he was Secretary of the
Treasury he was a director in the Ge
neva National Bank. YVkeu Mr. Sher
man was Secretary ol the Treasury a
question was raised as to his eligibility,
because he was a stockholder and direc
tor iu a railroad companv, and so was in
terested in commerce. But the objection
was regarded as entirely unfounded. The
statute only prohibits the person from
dealing in public securities or from en
gaging in commerce, and does not pro
hibit. him from being a stockholder in a
corporation. The statute relates to the
man, not to the corporation.”
REFUSE TO MAKE IT PUBLIC.
The members of tbe House of Repre
sentatives who signed the communication
sent to President-elect Cleveland relative
to the stoppage of the coinage of silver,
decline to give his answer to the public in
anticipation of his inaugural address.
THK HUNT FOR BROWN.
A Bogus Signature Causes Excitement
In Atlanta—Measles Epidemic iu Jail
—Contests Decided.
Atlanta, Feb. 26. —The appearance of
the signature “Fred. S. Brown, Cincin
nati,” on the Kimball House register this
morning, created some excitement here
to-day, it being accepted as a tact that
the man who wrote the scurrilous Cin
cinnati Enquirer article was in the city,
probably on his return home. The fact
that Brown had in a similar manner done
up some of the leading peo
ple in Atlanta a few days
previous caused additional anxiety to
locate him, and he was eagerly sought
alter. The clerks were kept busy an
swering questions all day with reference
to the whereabouts of the owner of the
signature. At noon it was rumored
that the signature was not genu
ine, and that it was put on the register by
someone to see the effect it would pro
duce. Later in the day it was given ont
that Brown was here and had employed
Messrs. Hammond & Zachry to defend
him in case of a legal prosecution, and
that he had been seen coming out of their
office. The Macon Circuit being up in
the Supreme Court quite a number of
lawyers from Macon, some of whom had
scores to settle with Brown, called at the
hotel hunting for him. If here, it was
soon apparent that he was hiding out,
although vigilance upon the part of the
injured people did not seem to flag in the
least.
Mr. Zachry upon being questioned said
that he knew Brown and that he would
not be in tbe city to-day. To-night it Is
given out that Brown reached here this
morning, and concealing himself until this
afternoon took the first train for Cincin
nati, driving out of the city several miles
before boarding the train.
The hundreds of interested people who
tramped the streets all day looking for
Brown were assisted in their search bv
nearly the entire police force. The hotel
was guarded and all the approaches were
carefully watched. Several strangers in
the city who resembled Brown in appear
ance were shadowed for hours, and one
or two were compelled to halt and furnish
evidence that they were not the suspected
party. One ol these strangers while in a
saloon raising a glass of invigorating
fluid to nis lips was made to replace the
same on the counter and clear himseir of
suspicions belore being allowed to quench
his thirst.
MEASLES EPIDEMIC IN JAIL.
Within the past four days two prison
ers confined in Fulton county jail, await
ing trial, charged with violation of the
internal revenue laws, have died from
measles. There are now fourteen cases
of measles in jail, and more deaths are
expected. The County Commissioners
have been notified of the condition of the
jail, and will try to stamp out the disease.
CONTESTS DECIDED.
The contest before the Executive of
Haynes vs. Hines, for the office of Tax
Collector of Lee county, was settled by
the withdrawal of Haynes, and a com
mission was issued to Hines. The case
of Paul vs. Booker was also adjusted by
Hall withdrawing his claims lor Treas
urer of Lee county, and the commission
was issued to Booker.
Johnson, of Floyd, who contested for
the office of Ordinary, has withdrawn,
and the commission has been issued to
Wright.
The Effingham contest is under argu
ment, and a decision is expected to-mor
row.
THE FROZEN SUSQUEHANNA.
One Solid Magg or Ice to the Bottom-
Great Fears of a Flood.
Lock Haven, Pa., Feb. 24.—There is
great anxiety among the people of this
city and Renovo and along the river over
the threatening condition of the Susque
hanna. There is, indeed, danger, and
many people are preparing for it. Near
Renovo the ice in the river ranges from
twenty-eight to thirty inches in thickness,
and, excepting in a lew narrow channels,
the stream is lrozen solid to the bottom.
Glen Union and Queen’s Run lie between
Renovo and this city, and between
these points there is a monstrous ice
jam, fifteen miles long, and from fifteen to
twenty-five feet in thickness, extending
from shore to shore. At Renovo the in
habitants entertain grave fears and are
preparing to move their household goods
on short notice. Lock Haven people are
doing the same. The frequent thaws and
freezes of the early winter have caused
this vast bulk of ice to become one solid
body, having all the appearance of a
glacier. The snow in the mountains is
three feet deep, and should the contem
plated thaw come suddenly, the break up
must result in the most disastrous flood
ever experienced in this part of the State.
The ice on the dam at WiHiamsport is
15 inches thick, and the river is gorged
solid as far as Renovo. Lumbermen are
anxious and fearful of a repetition of the
old-time flood of 1865. The ice is very
thick in Pine creek, and a sudden break
up in that wild mountain region would
precipitate a volume of water upon the
villages in the neighborhood.

A THEATRE IN RUINS.
Au Early Morning Bluzo in YVashington
The National Theatre Destroyed—
Narrow Escape of the Harris House.
YVashington, Feb. 27, 1:45 a. m.—The
National Theatre and Harris House have
just been discovered to be on tire.
Washington, Feb. 27, 2:15 a. m.— The
National Theatre was on E street, just off
of Pennsylvania avenue. It is now noth
ing but a mass oi ruins. It adjoined the
Harris House, formerly known as the
imperial Hotel. This hotel was on fire at
tbe side and rear, but will probably be
saved with slight damage, the firemen
having gained control of the flames. The
fire had gained considerable headway be
fore it was discovered. It evidently
STARTED IN THE REAR OF THK STAGE,
and was first observed by two police offi
cers on the beat in the neighborhood as it
burst through the roof just over the cen
tre of the building. They aroused the en
gineer ot the theatre who was asleep in
the second story. So rapidly had the
flames spread that they were compelled
to put a ladder to the window, and he
only escaped in his nightclothes. Tie
(ire department was soon on the scene,
but withiu ten minutes irom the time it
was discovered, and before anything
could he done to check it, the whole in
terior of the theatre was a body of flames.
All the scenery and properties, the ward
robe of the company playing at the thea
tre this week (the Wallack Theatre Com
pany), and the books, etc., of the lessees,
which were iu the box office, have been
destroyed.
THE GUESTS OF THE HARRIS HOUSE
were obliged to leave without completing
their toilet, and such of them as were
able to do so carried out their own trunks.
The Ebbitt House is on F street, in front
of the same block, and the parlors oi
the hotel were filled with lady
gue6ts, some of whom had not
fastened all their buttons before they
left their rooms. The Ebbitt House,
however, has not and probably will not
suffer anything worse than fright to the
guests, whose windows overlooked the
burned buildings.
The fire is under control and is confined
to the theatre building, one small build
ing adjoining occupied as a restaurant,
and several small buildings in the lot in
rear of the theatre and between it and the
Ebbitt House. The wall and roof of the
Harris House adjoining the theatre were
badly damaged, and only the mo9t stren
uous exertions on the part of the firemen
saved the whole building lrom destruc
tion.
the losses.
The theatre building, of which only the
crumbling walls remain, was owned by
W. W. ltapley, who also managed the
theatre. He estimates the value of the
building at SIOO,OOO and the furniture,
scenery and properties at $50,000. and
says his insurance is about $40,0(X).
The value of the wardrobe of the company
is not known. The saloon and billiard
room in the theatre building, occupied
by Miller & Jones was completely dis
tro.ved, with most of Its contents, among
which were 20 billiard tables. The pro
prietors estimate their loss at about $20,-
000, but are, unable to say what portion of
this sum is covered by insurauce.
a stove wakkroom burned.
One building in the rear of the theatre,
occupied as a stove wareroom, was de
stroyed, with its contents. The value of
this building is not known, but the stock
is valued at $5,000. The theatre building,
which was of brick, was two stories high
in front and four stories in the rear. It
had a frontage of 83 feet and a depth of
169 feet.
THE ILLINOIS SEXATOItSHIP.
Sudden Death of Representative Logan
and its Effect on the Contest.
Springfield, 111., Feb. 26.—Repre
sentative Robert Logan (Republican), of
Whitesides, fell at the head of the House
stairs to-day as he was on his way to the
chamber. As the elevator was not run
ning, he attempted to walk up a long
stairway. Mr. Logan had been ailing all
the session with heart disease, and could
not stand excitement of any kind. When
he fell he was opposite the main entrance
to the chamber, and was nicked up by
friends and carried into an ante room,
and doctors called. Five minutes later
he was pronounced dead.
The greatest excitement prevailed in
House and Senate and prolound regret
was expressed on all sides. The body
will be taken to Morrison.
In the House this morning it Was re
solved that a committee of tVo Senators
and three Representatives with the,Door
keeper of the House, attend the funeral of
Representative Logan. It was also re
solved that the members of the House ac
company the remains to the train in a
body. It was decided to appoint a com
mittee of five to draft suitable resolutions
relative to the death of Mr. Logan. The
Senate concurred in the resolutions
passed by the House.
In joint session it was arranged that no
vote would be taken for United States
Senator before next Tuesday.
By the death of Representative Logan
the House and Senate jointly stands:
Democrats 102, Including Streeter and
Haines, Independent Democrats, and Re
publicans 101. In order to elect a Senator
103 constitutes a quorum, consequently
if the Republicans refuse to vote
as they now propose the election
ot a Senator will not take place
until after a successor to Mr. Logan is
elected. It was thought that after the
death of Logan 102 would constitute a
quorum, but it is understood here by the
leaders on both sides that such is not the
case.
Gov. Oglesby this afternoon signed an
order calling for an election of a Repre
sentative in Whiteside county in place of
Logan, deceased, to take place March 21.

K ASS ALA IN DANGER.
Speedy Relief Required to Save It from
Sharing the Fate of Berber and Khar
toum.
Suakin, Feb. 26.— The difficulty of the
garrison at Kassala has been increased
by the appearance of the Italians at M&s
sowah. This interferes with the authority
of Maj. Chermside, who was preparing
an immense convoy of provisions, muni
tions and money for Kassala. These
measures of relief for the beleaguered
city are now at a standstill. Kassala is
the second city in the Soudan. It contains
20,000 inhabitants and has a garrison of
3,1)00 men. It is the keystone on the line
ot the frontier strongholds which are hold
ing out against the Mahdi. Kassala, Sun
heit, Amdib. Ghira and Gullobat are re
sisting a force of rebels. Kassala has al
ready been beseiged for a whole year.
Maj. Chermside has offered to ’send
reinforcements, but the commander
has refused to accept, as he is unable to
provide them with toad. Unless England
or Italy send speedy relief, Kassala will
share the fate of Berber and Khartoum.
PARTICULARS OF THE BATTLE.
London, Feb. 26. -The following partic
ulars of the battle near Kassala have just
been received from Suakin: The Haden
dawas attacked the Kassala garrison,
which, under the commandant, had sal
lied out to cover the entry of a convoy of
grain. The garrison made hasty defense
works on the open plain west of the city
and received the onslaught of the Haden
dawas with such terrific fire that tbe latter
fell back in confusion with heavy loss.
TheShukoorie tribe who brought tbe grain
for Kassala then attacked the Hadendawas
on the flank and rear, while the garrison
troops advanced to attack their front.
The Hadendawas became panic-stricken
and fled in all directions. Their chief,
Lsaeliilatti, was killed. The Shukoories
occupied and destroyed the Fhiliik head
quarters of Moussa, the second chief of
the Hadendawas. Moussa sent emissa
ries to Atmieb, the religious chief at
Bekri, a suburb of Kassala, asking what
terms he required for the surrender of
Bekri. Atrnieh replied that he must have
hostages before he could negotiate with
Moussa.
A CONFIRMATION OF THE SLAUGHTER.
A letter has been received at Korti from
nun who was taken prisoner when
Khartoum fell into the hands of the Arabs,
and who is now kept in captivity in El
Mahdi’s camp at Omdurman, a few miles
below Khartoum. She confirms the state
ment that El Mahdi’s troops massacred
the soldiers of the garrison and many
peaceful citizens, and she states that the
number of persons slaughtered was fully
2,000. This statement agrees with the
earlier reports of the capture ol Khar
toum, and contradicts the stories lately
brought to Gen. YVolseley by native spies.
LARGE ARMY ESTIMATES.
The army estimates for the year 1886
are announced. The amount is £17.820,-
700. This sum includes the expenditures
which the Soudan expedition will neces
sitate.
THE CONGO CONFERENCE.
Its Work Brought to a Close—Bismarck
Thanks the Delegates.
Berlin, Feb.26.—The Congo Conference
had its final sitting to-day. Prince Bis
marck presided. He expressed great sat
isfaction that an agreement had been
reached, and gave a resume of the vari
ous points of the programme. He paid a
special tribute to the conciliatory spirit
the delegates had displayed, and alluded
to the formation of the new Congo State
as one of tbe most valuable aids toward
rendering the work of the congress last
ing. Prince Bismarck concluded by
thanking the delegates on behalf of Em
peror YVilliam.
Count DeLaunay, the Italian Ambassa
dor, returned thanks to Prince Bismarck
on behalf of the delegates. He said the
success oi the conference was largely due
to Prince Bismarck’s efforts.
Prince Bismarck then announced that
the African International Association had
signified its adhesion to the decisions of
the conference, and that the documents
had been signed by President Strauch on
behalf of tbe association.
The delegates then signed the docu
ments, which were 14 in number, and the
conference was declared closed. Presi
dent Strauch, who had arrived mean
while, received congratulations from all
the delegates.
THE PRINCE’S IRISH VISIT.
Counter Demonstrations Against the
Castle Flunkeys—Threatening Let
ters.
Dublin, Feb. 26. United Ireland to
day, in commenting on the proposed visit
of the Prince ol Wales to Ireland, dis
claims any gratuitous disrespect for the
Prince ot YVales. “But,” it says, “if tbe
Castle flunkies organize mock demonstra
tions of enthusiasm, they may rest as
sured that there will be counter displays
which will overshadow any manifesta
tions Earl Spencer may inaugurate.”
The article suggests that 100,000 mem
bers of the National League assemble at
Kingstown pier on the day of the Prince’s
arrival to listen to the speeches from the
Irish members of Parliament, or if this is
not feasible that there be a vast public
assembly in Phoenix Park, where shall be
demanded the restoration of Ireland’s
“stolen birthright.”
The Irish Times asserts that threaten
ing letters have been received at Marl
borough House and at the Home Office
from professed Fenians, warning the offi
cials that the visit of the Prince of Wales
to Ireland will be attended with danger.
THE WAR IN CHINA.
Fighting at Lang Sou—England Refuses
Recognition.
London, Feb. 26.—A dispatch from
Haiphong to the Times says: “Large
numbers of wounded men are returning
from the front along the Lang Sou road.
Heavy fighting has occurred, but all news
of the operations has been suppressed,
and the wires are appropriated for the
transmission of official dispatches. Ger
man officers are busy drilling the Chinese
troops and sending them to the front.”
ENGLISH RECOGNITION REFUSED.
England has refused to recognize the
French declaration making rice contra
band of war if found on vessels bound to
or from Chinese ports.
TALK OK INVADING CANADA.
Discussing a Proposed Irish Expedition
Across the Border from Buflalo.
Buffalo, Feb. 24.—At an unknown
rendezvous in this city, last night, the
executive committee of the Irish Revolu
tionary Army held a meeting. Most of
those present were of Buffalo, but it is
claimed that representatives were there
from New York, Detroit and Chicago.
One or two have been found who have
confessed that they were present, but they
retuse to give many facts as to what was
said or done. They do, however, say that
they talked of invading Canada in case
Canadian troops are sent to Egypt, and
that it was urged that an expedition be
fitted out to cross the border from Buffa
lo. One of the interested parties said
that they were supplied with arms, had
money enough to carry on a campaign,
and could concentrate 30,000 men within
a short time. This one claimed that their
movements had been decided upon, but
could not be given out until the time for
action came.
The conservative Irish-Americans also
held a meeting yesterday, and pledged the
National League here to raise funds to
support one Parnellite in the English
Parliament. It is also understood that
the Monroe County League has done the
same.

the Demonstration— Railroaders on a
Strike.
Philadelphia, Pa., Feb.26.—Notwith
standing the proclamation issued this
afternoon calling on the citizens in the
carpet mills at Kensington to remain off
the streets in order to prevent a repetition
of last night's riotous demonstrations,
there was again to-night an immense
crowd of people in the neighborhood of
Leedom’s mill, where the non-union loom
fixer Cameron is employed. From early
in the afternoon until evening the crowd
increased in numbers until the sidewalks
and, in fact, some of the streets were
ALMOST BLOCKADED.
Just before the timi for the hands in
Leedom’s mill to stop work 200 policemen
inarched up to the building and, dividing
into four squads, drove the crowd back
for a block on each ot the four streets
leading to the mill. Twenty officers then
escorted Cameron from the mill and
walked with him on the sidewalk. As he
proceeded some of the mors daring of
those congregated on the streets eluded
the large force ot officers and
running through the side streets caught
up to Cameron and bis escort. The mob
then followed closely, hooting and jeering
and throwing snowballs, ice, stones and
other missiles. The officer in charge of
the squad, after having been followed a
few blocks, ordered the officers to draw
their clubs and
CHARGE UPON THE MOB.
This was done, and a brief but furious
fight ensued Several of the officers were
knocked down, hut none seriously injured,
while of those composing the mob several
came out of the melee with broken heads,
and seven of them were captured. In the
excitement attending this onslaught an
officer slipped away with Cameron, and
he was taken to his home without being
further molested.
It was said tnat the female non-union
weavers employed in the mill were taken
away in carriages, hut the weavers as
sert that they were kept in the building
and will remain there ail night.
Seven persons, whose ages range from
IS to 28 years, were locked up for a hear
ing to-morrow.

to-night, adopted resolutions in which
they deny naving any connection what
ever with the riotous demonstrations
which have taken place, and calling upon
all those on a strike to refrain from any
violent action and to especially avoid any
disturbances of the peace.
CARPET WEAVERS ACCEPT A REDUCTION.
Lowell, Mass., Feb. 26.—The strike of
the carpet weavers of the Lowell Manu
facturing Company is broken. The Brus
sels weavers held a meeting this after
noon and voted to accept the reduced
wages and go to work. The creel boys
took similar action, and Superintendent
Lyon says that all the mills will start
up on Monday morning. The treatment
to which the weavers who went to Phila
delphia were subjected lias had a dis
couraging effect and strengthened the
conviction that the corporation would
make no other terms. Tne strike began
Feb. 6, and the operatives have been very
quiet and well behaved. The understand
ing is that when times are better ttye cor
poration will do the best they can by their
operatives.

received telegrams from Chicago, Mober
ly, Fort Wayne and Decatur informing
them of co-operation in the strike. The
Superintendent says he has no intimation
of a strike at Fort Wayne.
The Wabash strikers are not creating
much notice here. A meeting oi the men
was held to night, but nothing of import
ance was accomplished. Less than half
of the men were out on a strike. Jacob
