THE DEMOCRATS ATE CROW. While the Republicans Across the Table Feasted Merrily on Jacksnipe. Cutcaa0, Nov. 12.—A novel wager on the re- sult of the Presidential election, made at South Chicago two weeks ago, was settled yesterday. A number of guests of a hotel were aboutequally divided on the political question. In pone sation one day the subject of a meal of crow was discussed, and the result was that a wager was made that if Harrison was elected the dem- ocratic boarders should eat a mess of crow, and thatin case of Cleveland's success the re- ublicans were to dine on th ulent black- ird. One dozen crows and a dozen jacksnipes % HENS were purchased, and at dinner vesterday the TWO CENTS, _|repuviicans ana democrats faced each other across the table. At the appointed time the | waiters brought in the crows, which had been roasted and in all’ respects nicely prepared.

EXTRA SESSION TALK. It is hardly expected by any one that the re- publicans will pass their tariff bill this winter, as they will have control of both branches of the next Congress, This leads td the impression that an extra session of Congress is liable to be called immediately after Mr. Harrison's inaug- uration, 80 as toavoid so long a delay on this question. They have also a large amount of work before them in the organization gf the next House, which they might get trough with before the time of the regular meeting. There will undoubtedly be a large number of contests in close districts, the result of which will tend to increase their majority. They will probably set to work at once to admit four new States into the Union, by which they WILL INCREASE THE ELECTORAL VOTE. Besides this the new apportionment, atter thé eleventh census, will’ probably be made by the Fifty-first Congress. This may result in the loss of one or two representatives to the south. In the northwest there will be increased representation, and it is expected that the elec- toral college will be not less than twenty votes stronger four years hence. THE INAUGURATION BALL. The Doubt About the Pension Building— The City Post-Office Question. Already there is talk about the inauguration ball and the prospect of holding it in the court of the pension building. It is supposed that in case the city post-office is moved to this court the ball cannot be held there. There is some doubt as to the possibility of fitting up a city post-office in the courtof the pension build- ing for the sum appropriated, $5,500. Postmaster Ross is out of the city to-day, When asked by a Star reporter, some days ago, about the re- moyal of the office from its present location, Mr. Ross said he thought that means would be | eadonste for moving the office. It is stated, owever, that all the funds under the direction of the Postmaster General that could be used to supplement this appropriation for the city post-office have been appropriated to other uses, The clause of the sundry civil appro- priation act providing for the removal says: “That the Postmaster-General be, and is here- by, granted authority to remove the Washing- ton city post-office to the center of the court of the pension building in said city, and use such ortion of said court as is hereafter specified jor the principal post-office of said city until further action by Congress.” The matter has been for some time awaiting the return to the city of the Postmaster-General. It is held that the law is not mandatory upon him. Citizens talking of the matter thought the in- auguration committee could, better afford to pay the rent of the city post-office in its pres- ent quarters for several months than to erect ‘a new building. THE PROPOSED PUBLIC HALL. Frexcn Sroutation Ciarms.—The court of claims this morning reported its findings of facts and conclusions of law in the French spoliation claims arising out of the cases of the brig Maria, Samuel Taylor, master; schooner Isabella, Robert Mercer master; brig Anthony, John Garrett muster; schooner Frederick, John G. Clark master; brig Clarissa, Alex Thomas master, and brig Virginia, Mark Butts, These cases will all be certified to Congress for action. Secretary Vizas has returned from his home in Wisconsin. Postmasten-GeneRaL Dickmson was at the department to-day, having returned from his home in Michigan. He has as yet taken no action in regard to the removalof the city post- office to the Pension building except to make some preliminary arrangements. Me expects to take that matter up in a few days, Surr Acarxst THE Commissioner oF PATENTS. T.N.

The publication of a rumor to the effect that Capt. Eric Bergland will probably succeed Col. Jno. M. Wilson, in charge of public buildings and grounds, when the new national adminis- tration comes in, has created some little stir of erecting a grand hall, has again been revived, Such a hall as proposed would provide for immense gatherings of any kind. Mr. Lawrenee Gardner, who was active in furthering the project, said to a Star reporter that it would be impossible to erect such a building as proposed in time for the inauguration. The plan was to erect a large building, at @ cost of $100,000, on the public ground at 10th and B streets northwest. This would bave in it an immense hall, 380 by 100 feet, witha large number of smaller rooms along the sides beneath the galleries. The At one end of the building were to be accommodations for a fire- engine company and a ealvege OD The fire- ngine com) y would for the safet; and care of the buil Th was proposed that the cost of the building was de- frayed by public subscription, the use of the ground being given by the government. ches, Bremen. oi Decision Against Judge Terry. ‘THE UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT DENIES HIS APPLICATION FOR A WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS. ‘The Supreme Comrt of the -United States to- day denied the application for a writ of habeas corpus in the case of David 8.

Capt. Bergland is, it is said, a connection of Gen. Har- rison’s, the captain’s wife being a relative of Mrs. Harrison. Some of the War department officials think the story is based only on con- clusions drawn from this alleged relationship. Gen.

It is more than probable that Gen. Harrison will visit Washington during the early part of December. Dr. Scott, the general's father-in- law, said toa Star reporter last night that he fully expected that the President-elect would be here in a little while. “I do not know,” said the venerable gentle- man, “just what will call him here. It may be business before the Supreme Court—for he has much of that—or it may be he will come to con- sult with some of his old senatorial friends over the various and important questions he now must settle. I am satisfied, however, that he will come, and it is not at all improbable that Mrs. Harrisdh will aecompauy him. Of neces- sity their visit will be a brief one, and then we shall see them no more until just previous to the general's inauguration.” An Indianapolis dispatch to the New York Tribune says: Gen. Harrison is coming east in about a month, and that he will spend several days in New York. FAULTY TUNNEL WORK. Testimony Before the Military Court of Inquiry To-day. The War department court of inquiry into the responsibility for faulty construction in the aqueduct tunnel resumed its work this morning at 10:30 o'clock. The first witness called was Samuel A. Har- per, a bricklayer by trade and subinspector in the tunnel. He worked in the west shaft at Howard University in March, 1985, and after- ward worked in the eastern end of the same shaft. The brick used was of good quality and the bricklaying was thorough in every respect. The packing, so far as he saw, was very good. The stone was hammered or forced in so that it was perfectly solid above the arch. There may have been some vacant spaces above the key when the packers worked where there was much timbering. As far a ee the 5] between the timbers was filled up with stone. Of course there were PLACES THAT COULD NOT BE PACKED, but they were not numerous. Witness was em- ployed as an inspector in July, 1885,and worked up to February 1, 1886. Work was suspended then until September. Witness resumed as in- spector andcontinued there until October, 1887. Mr. Coryell, then engineer, first appointed wit- ness as inspector, Witness inspected work in Howard University shaft when he com- menced. Mr. Coryell’s instructions were to see that the work was done prop- erly. Mr. Shadwell, whom witness superseded as inspector, gave him a copy of the specifica- tions, and he endeavored to see that work was done in accordance with them. Witness had to inspect the work of the trimmers, the bricklayers, and the ‘kers. He had some- times taken charge ce the weckin ‘a capacity other than that of inspector; he did so because he thought it was his duty to see that the work was thoroughly done. “He knew of no dry brick-work being done. The packing was soli Witness examined the brick and cement. He went up to the surface twice or three times a day to examine the material; he OFTEN FOUND FAULTY BRICK. He would, therefore, be absent from his duties below about three hours each day. Sometimes when he returned to the tunnel he would find evidence of faulty work having been done during his absence, but not very frequently. ‘The foreman of bricklayers was in charge dur- ing his absence on top. Witness used to see Capt. Symons in the tunnel quite frequently. He saw Major Lydecker in the tun- nel but twice—on¢e when he went through with the congressional committee and once previous to that occasion. When witness had to absent himself while the bricklayers were ‘‘keying out” he would order the workmen to dono more than a certain uantity, and those orders were generally cueyed. \ Somilimer white! bricklayers were some distance ahead of the packers the packing would be done at night. On such occasions there wguld be no one present on behalf of the government. Witness never received any present from the contractors, neither in money nor inany other form. .He was paid $75 a month by the government. HE MADE PACKERS TEAR OUT DEFECTIVE WORK. Col. Hodges questioned the witness rather sharply as to the packing which he allowed to be done during his absence, and Harper stated that he was satisfied that none of the work so done was done in any other than a satisfactory manner. He had made packers tear out some defective work, but not more than once or twice. In response to a query by Gen. Ruger, wit- ness said he thought the packers did faulty work so that they’ might catch up with the bricklayers and then sit down. Sometimes the bricklayers helped the packers, but only on extraordinary occasions. Col. CraighiJl asked witness if he remem- bered any occasion when more work bad been done by the night force than could properly have been done by the number of men engaged, and witness pen that the force always did a fair amount of work and when he inspected the work next morning it was well finished and seemed to be solid. ‘The cross-examination was then taken up b: =< Chester, counsel for Lieut. Townsen and witness reasserted that he had only seen Major Lydecker in the tunnel on two occasions. ess might have rejected bad brick without going up to the surface to prevent such defect- ive material from being sent down, but he thought it best to go Up. If the brick came down some of it might easily havo been worked into the arch, COULDN'T SEE THROUGH A STONE WALL. Capt.
