There is no longer any disputing that republicans have a ma- Jority. ‘The only question is as to its size. ites have already been issued to 163 re- publicans, so that if the democrats got all the restthe republican tee rind would beone. Then there is nothing absolutely certain about West Virginia yet, and there are duplicate certifi- eatesinthe disputed district Tennessee. Any gains the republicans make in these local- ities will merely add to their majority, but at best it will be too small to be trifled with. This makesanearly organization advisable. Besides, it is thought desirable that the tariff and the territories question should be disposed of before next winter if possible. ‘MR. PAYSON’S ARGUMENT, Judge Payson, who is a very earnest advocate of an extra session, has been talking it up with members of both houses, and believes that an extra session is bound to be called. Speaking of the matter to a Stan reporter this morning he said that he expected the new Congress to meet in April; that they could pass substantially the Senate tariff bill, which would be disposed of Pz the Senate this session; (of course it would have then to pass the new Sen- ate again;) that they would admit South Da- kota, Montana, and Washington Territory, and pass'an enabling act for North Dakota, and that they would perfect some general pension legislation before the regular session in De- cember. “I have no desire to conceal my motive for admitting the territories in the Lge We have a very small majority in each house. More especially in the Senate is it desirable that this majority should be in- creased in the Fifty-first Congress. These three territories are entitled to representation during the new Congress. I think we should admit these territories during an extra spring session, so that they may be fully organize into states and send six Senafors and as many representatives as they are entitled to, to be regularly enrolled as @ part of the Fifty-first Congress at the regular meeting in December. | This would give usa good working majority in both branches of Congress.” THE SPEAKERSHIP CONTLST. The extra session question may have some bearing on the Speakership question. The canvass of the four candidates is being pressed with considerable vigor, and is likely to gener- ate corisiderable heat. The westert? members are anxious that there should be a very prompt revision of the tariff and reduction of the reve- nue. The speakership canvass will prob- ably settle down to a contest between the western conservative tariff idea and ultra-protectionists of the east. As a rominent republican put it to a Star reporter y, there will be » fight between the two | sections ‘as to whet. r the next ways and means committee shall be organized on the Chinese-wall plan or upon the conservative plan advocated in the west.” The western members want an extra session, to revise the tariff as soon as possible. CANDIDATES OF WORK, Before the meeting of the House in |the morning, and all day during the session, the active candidates for the Speakership are at work on their | booms, Again in the evening the canvass is kept up. Reed, Burrows, McKinley and | Cannon are very much in earnest, and ,are not afraid of being too early jin the field. Reed and Canng@a are moving among their colleagues with es- | pecial activity and much quiet work lis being done. Mr. Cameron's friends |are very confident of his success, and are endeavoring to place the contest on sectional lines and on the tariff policy. They will present him as the a roam of the western conservative idea, If they can make the fight upon policy, they think it will be to the iaveategs of their man. Upon a mere ques- tion of personality the four candidates are about equally popular, DISTRICT GOVERNMENT.

McMahon ina letter to District Chemist Richardson called his attention to the fact that the Barber halt paving company had disregarded his rs relative to the laying of asphalt pave- ment on Friday, November 15, On that day it rained so hard that Chief- tor Beggs or- dered that the contractors on New York avenue be not allowed to lay the top, as he was afraid the base would not be fit. The matter was re- ferred to Capt. Symons. In upon the ease he recommends that in making final measurement on this street there be deducted from the full amount 178 square yards of pave- ment, which it is recommended be not paid for until the surface is relaid, and that the re- he be not commenced before next spring. The Commissioners have approved Capt. Symons’ recommendation. BUILDING PERMITS were issued to-day as follows: Andreas Pal- mer, two brick dwellings southwest corner 14th and Chapin streets; $20,000.

While there is reason to believe that the government has demanded the ro- lease of the steamer Haytien Republic recently receiyed at Port-au-Prince, it is impossible as yet to obtain offieial inform- ation to that effect. Secretary Bayard declines to say anything whatever on the subject, and when Assistant Secretary Rives was asked if a demand for the release had been made, he answered, “I am not at liberty to say.” Secretary Whitney. when = to on the subject, said: “It is a iplomatic question entirely, and I would not know anythii about it unless the Secretary of State requested the use of a naval vessel in case a d was made for the release of the vessel in question and it was refused, we would at once take steps to enforce it by sending our'vessels to = country.

THE QUESTION OF QUARTERS+-NxO CARS OX SIDE ‘TRACKS—THE HUNDREDTH ANNIVERSARY OF | WASHINGTON'S INAUGURATION—ORGANTZATIONS COMING IN MARCH. Matters around the headquarters of the in- augural committee are getting down to a rou- tine. Surprise is no longer expressed when some one writes to secure quarters for three or | four thousand men, or a brigade or two | of jtroops. Such things have become mat- ters of course.

These were the offerings‘ of an enterprising agent. The number of callers upon Chairman Britton does | not decrease. Many persons trom other cities | come in to make inquiries about the prepara- | in tions for the inauguration. THE CENTENARY INAUGURATION, The inauguration of Gen. Harrison will be the centenary inauguration,as in 1789, one hun- dred years before,Gen. Washington wasginaug- ated as the first President of the United States. This is a fact that has es caped notice in all the arrangements so far made for the inauguration ceremonies. A citizen speaking of the matter to a Stas re- ir this morning suggested that the fact of ite being the centenary, should be stamped in some way upon the character of the celebra- tion. He thought that the designs for the ball tickets and invitations should commemorate that fact and that the decorations should also have that in view. The idea most general in the designs ey erry for ball tickets and for decorations i tof a log cabin, The log cabin, it is said, is distasteful to President-elect Harrison as among other ob- i ti it savors too much of ‘Grand- father’s hat.” As the — the old | Tippecanoe cam; robably for that | reason not find favor, the centenary idea comes prominently to the it. THE QUESTION OF QUARTERS, Capt. 8. H. Merrill, secretary of the com- mittee on civic organizations, has written to Mr. A.S. Wagner, of Williamsport, Pa., who desired to knew whether the republican’ club he represents can be accommodated in their carson a sidetrack. Capt.

An Interesting Story Connected with Henry Pyfer’s Crime. Henry Pyfer, recently convicted at Trenton, N. J., for criminal violation of the pension laws, was sentenced yesterday to four years’ imprisonment and to pay a fine of $1,000. Pyter was arrested in this city. The story of his crime, its detection and his subsequent wanderings and arrest, is full of interest. In the spring of 1882 extensive frauds were discovered in the pension bureau. A number of claims for pension that had been practically abandoned, were revived in a peculiar manner. E.ch applicant in asking a reconsideration of his claim, stated that he had removed from the oe ot eee cette and gave a new ad- to a waked that = correspond- ence touching his claimj might be sent. Am the claims thus revived were those of Daniel | Yeamans, John F. Keator and James Martin. | When their claims were filed Yeamans resided New York city, Keator lived at Shokan, county, N. ¥.,and Martin at Hoboken, N.J. In pegs eens claims Yeaman's address was given as Hudson, Columbia —, N. Y.; Keator’s as 359 Grove street, Jersey City, and Martin’s as 201 Bridge avenue, Camden, N. J. | The first intimation of crookedness came to | the Pension office in May, 1882, when Keator | wrote from Shokan to know why his claim was | notallowed, He was informed that ithad been allowed an sain in February, 1831, and that a check for 93 had been mailed to him at No. 359 Grove street, Jersey City, the address | furnished in his former co: dence. Keat- or at once replied that he never lived in Jersey and not been out of Ulster county, |. J., since his return from the army in 1865. NOSING THE FRAUD. Special Agent Jacobs, who was directed to investigate the case, visited Shokan, N. Y., and satisfied himself that Keator was honest and that his statement wasentitled to credit. He then went to 359 Grove street, Jerse; City, where he learned that a man calling himeelf hese F. mae had applied fon — ee lodgings in January, 1881, tel e one James Prown, that he had been @ soldier in the union army and Mprigaece be on. After being there about five weeks he received ‘k for $834.93, which he showed to Brown, at the same time asking that he with him to the bank, to identify bim as J F. Keator. Thoroughly believing his repre- sentation, Brown went with him and identified at the Hudson Co. national bank in Jersey City, as John F. Keator and the check was ed there, after which Brown and his lodger parted company and did not meet again for several years. The agent sul jaently found that descrip- tions of the bogus Jas. Martin and the bogus Daniel Yeamans, each of whom had obtaified handsome sums in pension checks, seemed to with thatof Keator. Mr. Jacobs learned t the true Yeamans was killed in New York city in 1874, and buried in potter's field; and that the genuine Jas. Martinewas a prosperous merchant in Brooklyn, N. Y. It was now patent that there was a confederate inside the Pen- sion office. All three of these claims had been by the same examiner, and that fact put | Rien ner son i jicion. His place of residence. when the frauds were committed was ascer-" |, a8 well as a description of the persons who visited him about that time. Among these descriptions was that of Henry fhe abrother- in-law of the suspected clerk. Pyfer had been @ seafaring man, and his description was iden- tical with that of the man who personated Keator, Martin, and Yeamans. Indictments were ured against both Pyfer and the sus- pected clerk upon charges of forgery and false Personation. HUNTED AROUND THE WORLD. Search was made for Pyfer, andin December, 1884, he was located in the copper mines of Clifton, Arizona, by Special Agent Jacobs, who thereupon obtained from United States District Jus Nixon, of New Jersey, a bench warrant | bo: for his arrest.’ On the day when the agent was toleave Washington for Arizona a telegram was received that he had left for Clifton. From this point he was traced to Lordsburg, New Mexico, and thence to San Francisco, where he shipped as a sailor on the Kate Davenport, bound for Sidney, New South Wales. He returned to San Francisco, in July, 1886, and again shipped on a sailing vessel bound for Liverpool, England. At Liverpool he shipped on the Cimbermere, for Calcutta, India, under the name of Joseph Gail. He re- turned to Liverpool, June 15, 1887, and on June 21, again sailed for Cal- cutta, Sgro bey Liverpool October 17, 1887, where he boarded at the Canning House, No. 1 Hanover street, and was known as Joe Gail. Application was made at the State department for extradition papers, on which to return him to the United States, but before they could be repared the authorities at Liverpool, who fa him under surveillance, reported that he had sailed for New York, on October 29, in the British steamship Michigan. Agent Jacobs went to New York just before the steamer was due, and there iearned that the Michigan was bound for Boston instead of New York. He left at once for that city, but was just one day too late, as the passengers were landed the day previous. The passenger list showed the name of Joseph Gail, as among the “steerage pas- sengers.” While on the voyige wail became acquainted with one of the crew of the Michi- igan, by name Miller, and to him imparted e information that he had relatives in Wash- ington whom he intended to visit. ~* ARRESTED IN THIS CITY. Armed with this information the special agent returned to Washington, and s ‘cured the assistance of Inspector Swindells, wh » detailed Detective Joseph Carter to aid Special Agent Jacobs, They located Pyfer’s relatives in Washington, and hired a room on the opposite side of the street, from whence they could command a good view. After a patient watch for two days, aman answering Pyfer's descrip- tion was seen to leave the house in question. Jacobs and Carter followed him to the grocery store of Ashby & Co., at the corner of 3d and E streets northwest, and there arrested him. On the following day he was taken to New Jersey and lodged in jail. Pyfer's con- federate was arrested at Hutchison, Kans., and at the April term of the United States court at Trenton, N. J., they were tried on ac! of conspiracy, and acquitted. Pyfer proved an alibi, the trial being upon the charge growing out of the Keator case. On the 28th ult. Pyfer was tried at the ad- journed term of the same court upon an indict- ment charging him with forgery and false per sonation in the case of James Martin. The jury were out but a short while, and promptly returned a verdict of guilty upon both charges. He was sentenced yesterday. During the late war Pyfer served in the cdh- federate army in company A, second Maryland ‘in! . The amount of money involved in wuds cannot be eras yemtorng but it is known that he practiced his pension swin- dies for more than years. —— Masoxto Visitation.—Last evening Lafay- ette R.

MORTON TO VISIT GEN. HARRISON ‘NER? WEEK—SOME NEW CABINET RUMORS, The Indianapolis correspondent of the New York Herald says that Gen. Harrison has re ceived word from Mr. Morton that he will ar- rive on Wednesday, December 12. It is possi- ble that he will be accompanied by Messrs, Blaine, Depew, Warner Milier and Senator His- cock. Itis known here tnat the much talked- about quarrel between Warner Miller and Thomas C. Platt has greatly worried Gen. Har- rison, and Mr. Morton is expected to him some valuable advice as to how be can best pacify all the elements of the party in the great state ot New York. Gen: Harrison is strongly inclined to favor Miller, but if Morton should insist that Platt must be put in the cabinet to unite the party in New York. it is believed that Miller will be sacrificed for the purpose, There is good reason to believe that Gen. Harrison has at least two members of his cabinet seleet- ed, and that before Mr. Morton leaves here the New York member will be decided upon. THE BIG CONUNDRUM, What General Harrison will do with Blaine is what is puzzling the politicians more than any- thing else. Fully a third of General Harrison's cor mdence since the election has been with reference to the plumed knight. Every > him letters which contain nothing but an indorsement of or a protest against the statesmen from Maine, While many are for Blaine against the world many others of the let- ters contain threats against the republican party, the auth@s declaring that they will at once renounce allegiance to the G. O. P. if Blaine is in any way recognized. Of course, what all this war of words will amount to no man can tell, but everybody is curious to see how Harrison will escape criticism, no matter which way he turns. ethane eooenlat Senator Palmer a Possibility. A Detroit, Mich., special says that Senator Palmer's recent visit to Gen, Harrison was om invitation and to discuss cabinet possibilities; that if a cabinet appointment goes to Michigan it will be Palmer or Alger, and that Palmer has his eye on the Department of the Interior. He would not take the war secretaryship, He would die in the routine of the Post ice de~ partment, but he would be in bis element in the Department of the Interior. oo Is Clarkson Fixed’ A Des Moines, lowa, special says that there are good reasons for believing that Mr. J. 8. Clarkson has been tendered and has accepted a place in Mr. Harrison's cabinet. A friend of his has recently stated that such was the case, and intimate associates of the family are whispering around that the Clakson family are preparing to make their home in Wash- ington. Further evidence of « confirmatory character is not lacking, A reorganization of the editorial staff of Mr. Clarkson's paper is under way. The place tendered is understood to be the portfolio of the Interior. —————— +00 Gen. Sherman’s Card of Thanks. Gen. Sherman has issued a card thanking his friends for their expression of sympathy om Mrs. Sherman's death.
