Constitutional Dover, Det., Jan. 8.—The republican caucus on the constitutional convention closed at 12:30 o'clock this morning. The members edged theraselves to seereey until Wednes- Roy. Dut it has been learned that the only bus- ines# transacted was the adoption of a resolu- tion that it is competent for the two houses in joint session on Wednesday to not only enu- merate the votes cast on November 1, 1887, but to pass upon the sufficiency of that vote, and that therefore it is the Jadement of the joint session that a majority of the qualified voters of the state cast their ballots for a convention on that day, and that upon the basis of that vote aconvention should be called. Subse- quent legislative actiou in pursuance of this resolution must be taken by the two houses in separate sessions, he democratic members will probably caneus for a senatorial candidate on Monday night. Their choice will, it is understood, fall on Secretary Bayard. THE ALLE = R FRAUDS. Exciting Developments Expected in Michigan in the Next Few Days. Derrorr, Micz., Jan. 8.—An Evening Journal special from Aun Arbor says: Mrs. Olive C. Friend, widow of the late Prof. Henry C. Friend, of electric-sugar fame, who is the com- mander of the garrison now holding the fort against all comers, appeared in this city after dark last night at the office of her attorneys. With her was a mysterious stranger, who by some is alleged to have been one of the former workmen at the alleged “refinery” in Brook- lyn. Only the angels and Mr. Sawyer and Mrs. Friend know what was done atthe meeting. Mrs. Friend left town as mysteriously as she came, and is probably with friends not far from Ann Arbor. A mysterious stranger, who has been here for several days with President Cotterill of the Electric Sugar Re- fining company at the Arlington, left for Ypsi- lanti on the 240 p. m. train yesterday in com- pany with a deputy sheriff of that place. It is | Bolisved here that Cotterill, who has been try- ing diplomacy thus far, means to try harsher means soon. It is predicted that if he does, | arrests and counter arrests will follow. | W. E. Howard has not been seen here or at Milan for days, and while it is alleged he is in New York it is thought he is either in Ohio or Canada. Mrs. Howard and the Hal- steads are at Milan ready to repel boarders if any attempt is made to seize any of the How- ard or Friend property there. ‘The title of it all now rests in Mrs. Howard and Mrs. Friend. Prof. Friend in fact never owned a foot of land in Michigan, and when he died there was con- sequently no estate in Michigan to settle. — ARPHUR’S DISSATISFACTION. It is Regarded as Certain that He Will Resign Soon. Curcaco, Jan. 8.—Referring to the rumor that Chief Arthur, of the Brotherhood of Loco- motive Engineers, intended to resign, Chairman Ceverner, of the committee which has just settled the Burlington strike, said this morning: “I think the rumor has a good foundation. Mr. Arthur has been dissatistied for a long time, and the outcome of the ‘Q” strike is an additional thorn in his flesh, ii ing paper,” Mr. Cevener continued, “that Mr. Arthur is not satisfied with the settlement of the “Q” strike because he was opposed to it from the start. That statement is false. Mr. Arthur worked for six months prior to the strike on the “Q” road to bring that result about. After he had given his consent to the strike and four weeks had passed he began to get nervous, and wanted to declare the strike off. This the members of the organization would not agree to, and because of his attitude | the committee was appointed at the Richmond | convention.” i Seeree iene, Francis Joseph has not Interfered.

BRIDGLAND HERE TO MAKE ARRANGEMENTS FOR THEM—THEIR HEADQUARTERS WILL BE AT ‘THE METROPOLITAN. Col. Bridgiand, of Indianapolis, a member of the citizens’ committee of that place, appointed to make arrangements for the accommodations Indianians in this city during inauguration week, is in the cjty. He was at headquarters to-day and seemed to be highly gratified with with the information given him. He has se- cured rooms, including a parlor, at the Metro- politan hotel, and the headquarter’ of the In- diana people will be there. He thinks that there will be athousand or fifteen hundred | people here from the state. The old regimeut of Gen. Harrison will organize an escort body of some 100 men, wearing a distinctive uni- form. As Gen, Harrison is the first citizen of | Indiana elected President the people of the state take great interest in the inal ition. _ Col. Bridgland will meet the Indiana repub- lieans resident in this city at headquarters to- morrow night. The committee on the decoration of the ball- room met last night and decided to recommend to the executive committee that the contract for decorations be awarded to F. Aldrich, of Brooklyn; the contract for furnishing flowers to Neal, the florist, of New York, and that for furnishing the rooms to be used by the Presi- dent and Vice-President to W. B, Williams, of this city. —o—_- SPOONER FOR THE CABINET. A Belief that He will Be Offered and Will Accept the Attorney-Generalship. It is said to be likely that Senator Spooner will be offered and will accept a place in Gen. Harrison's cabinet. Ithas been supposed for some time that General ‘Harrison desired Mr. Spooner to accept of the Attorney Generalship but that that Spooner is doubtful about giving up his seat in the Senate. It is said now that as far as Mr, Spooner’s political future is concerned this has been made easy. Senator Sawyer’s term expires in just four from the 4th of March, and has announced _ that he will not stand for re-election, He and Mr. Spooner are very close friends, and it is as- serted that Mr. Sawyer can name his own successor, If Mr. Spooner should go into the cabinet Mr. Sawyer would see that he got back into the Senate at the end of his term.

Edmund’s Resolution Adopted by the Senate in Secret Session. ‘The secret session of the Senate yesterday for the consideration of the resolution from the committee on foreign relations in reference to the Panama canal lasted until 5:40. It was then learned that the discussion had been car- ried on by Senators Edmunds, Sherman, Mor- gan, Gray, and Jones, of Arkansas, and that the joint resolution was adopted—yeas, 49; nays, 3—having been modified so as to read as follows: Resolved, etc, That the government of the United States will look with serious concern and disapproval upon of connection of any European government with the construction or control of any ship canal across the Isthmus of | Darien or across Catical America, and must re- | gard ves such connection or control as injuri- ous tothe just rights and interests of the United States and as a menace to their welfare. Section 2. That the President be and he is hereby requested to communicate this expres- sion of the views of the government of the United States to the governments of the coun- tries of Europe.

The first speaker in the secret session was Mr. Edmunds, He denied that the resolution was intended to violate the now friendly rela- tions between the United States and France. The French government, as a government, had no interest in the Panama canal scheme, but it would be only natural for that government to attempt to prevent financial loss to many of ita citizens by taking charge of the canal project and seeing it safely through. To prevent this the United States ought to take immediate ac- tion; its interests and dignity should be pro- tected. The passage of this resolution was really a friendly act, for it warned France not to put itself ina position which this country might declare to be untenable. SENATOR GRAYS AMENDMENT. Senators Evarts, Reagan, Hoar and Morgan spoke in favor of the adoption of the resolu- tion, and they were followed by Senator Gray, who made a lengthy argument in favor of his amendment—to confine the scope of the reso- lution to the political interests involved. He thought the French government would only be acting correctly if it defended the rights of those of its citizens who had invested in Pan- ama stock. Mr. Gray’s arguments were replied to by Mr. Hoar. Senator Stewart held that NOW WAS THE TIME TO BUILD THE NICARAGUA CANAL. ‘The Nicaragua route was the only feasible one, andthe canal could be constructed for Jess than $100,000,000. The United States gov- ernment should at once set about the work of construction. Senator Eustis opposed Mr. Gray’s amend- ment in along and eloquent speech, The in- tegrity of the United States depended upon the exclusion of French power from Central Amer- ica. He referred tothe fact that ambitious Frenchmen are endeavoring to make the French people disregard the pledges already made, but did not think that the revolutionists could possibly succeed. France was too honor- able to be misled by such men. “If the French government,” said the Senator, “under the pressure of political agitation, should disre- gard its pledge and change the status quo by giving pecuniary aid to the canal company, or by guaranteeing its bonds, it must inevitably absorb the private interest ultimately. and we would at once be confronted by the most se- rious complications, if not perils. While the government of the United States can interpose no obstacle to the prosecution of the work by private Parties, it can, under no circumstances, ermit European governmental influence, au- ority and control either in this canal or any other part of Central America, To allow such infringements and such nthe ean! by a for- eign government would be a discredit to our own people and an offense to our pride as the American nation, and for these reasons it is our duty to firmly and unequivocally announce to the world that WE WILL PERMIT NO INTERFERENCE, nor occupation so long as we have the power to protect our interestsand maintain our dig- nity.” Senator Quay. after making a few remarks, formally offered his amendment, which was as follows: “That any connection of any European gov- ernment with the construction or control of any ship canal across the Isthmus of Darien or across Central America, which involves any political control whatever of the territory through which such canal passes, or interfer- ence with the government or systems of gov- ernment of any portion of this continent, will be viewed by the government of the United States with serious concern and disapproval, and will be considered as dangerous seal peace and safety.” A vote was taken on the amendment and it was tabled. After some little discussion as to whether the resolutien ought not to be a concurrent one instead of joint, and which ended in its re- ining as it was, the resolution was passed as stated above.

THE VOTE ON THE TARIFF BILL. The Senate will not commence to take a vote on the tariff bill and its amendments until the 22d instant. This concession was made by the republicans because the whole of yesterda; was taken up with the discussion on the Ed- munds Panama resolution, It was originally agreed to take the vote on the 2ist instant, The Columbia National Bank. IT LUNCHES ITS PATRONS—A NOVEL ENTERRAIN- MENT. Three long tables were set to-day in the hall adjoining the large hall in Masonic Temple. A bountiful lunch was served from 12 o'clock to the depositors of the Columbia National bank. As fast as one set of lunchers finished others were ready to take their places, and the white-capped waiter girls fairly flew in keeping the tables well supplied. Mr. M. M. Parker, one of the directors, welcomed the guests as they came in, and the president of the bank, B. H. Warner. and others of the directors were on hand not only to get their lunch, but to shake hands with their numerous friends who are also patrons of the bank. A pleasant feature was the presence of many of the lady depositors of the bank, and they seemed to enjoy the lunch as much as the gentlemen, Nearly a thousand of the depositors took part in ‘the entertainment, cigarette machine; Edward 8, May, calendar. pra Fn rs wana Aumy Oxpens.—Capt.

THE RESOLUTION IN THE HOUSE. The resolution of the Senate asserting the Monroe doctrine with relation to the Panama canal has not yet got to the House foreign af- fairs committee. They meet on Thursday and expect to have it by that time. Chairman Mc- Creary says he expects prompt action by the committee. THE INDIGNANT DIPLOMATS. The secret legislative session of the Senate yesterday raised a miniature storm of indigna- tion among the diplomatic corps, and especially virulent was the outbreak in the midst of the many representatives of foreign countries, who were in the Senate diplomatic gallery, until the doorkeepers requested them to leave. Complaints loud and deep, and uttered by a Babel of tongues, sounded through the corri- dors as the disappointed ones left the capitol. One of the more prominent of those who were anxious to hear the debate sent the fol- lowing ae, clad his government yesterday afternoon before the result of the discussion had been made public: “The American Senate to-day resumed con- sideration of the Edmunds resolution of ob- struction to the Panama canal project. There was a large number of foreign diplomats and representatives avery in that part of the Senate gallery allotted to them, and among them the Hie hep reget of your government. Without notice the anti-Boulanger party in the Senate secured an order to close the galleries, The foreian diplomats were all excluded, and the doors to the Senate chamber were closed against them. The Senate then proceeded, for several hours in secret session, to debate the anti-Panama resolution. There aremany Ameri- can statesmen who are in possession of much Panama stock, and it is believed that they have succeeded in impressing the government and its friends in the Senate with the danger of menacing France and of plotting for the over- throw of Gen.

A Charge of False Pretenses on Trial. TESTIMONY IN THE CASE OF DE HUGHES, ALIAS NEWMAN, ALIAS, ST. CLAIR IN THE CRIMINAL COURT—HIS TRANSACTIONS WITH BREESE AND SONS, In the Criminal Court, Judge Montgomery, this morning, the trial of Dallas M. DeHughes, alias Marion D, Newman, alais G. M. St. Clair, indicted for obtaining money by false pretenses (8100), about October 19 last from Breese & Sons, of Baltimore, was resumed this morning. Assistant District Attorney A. A. Lipscomb (who had been indisposed for a few days), with Mr. Mullowney, appeared for the government, and Mr. Campbell Carrington for the defendant. Mr. 'Oscar F. Breese, of Breese & Sons, of Baltimore, testified that defendant under the name of G.W, St. Clair, was employed by them as a solicitor of life insurance in this city for three months, commencing September 1 last. Witness identified a letter from defendant dated October 18 last, as having been received by his firm, This letter was in answer to a let- ter of October 12, acknowledging receipt of check which was acceptable, and stating that his ae daughter was very low and her death expected. “ihe next morning they received a telegram announcing the death of the daughter, and they then sent defendant a aoe on the Farmers and Mechanics’ bank for The check and the telegram with the letter were received in evidence. The telegram read “My daughter passed away at4 this morn- ing. Send me check at once.” On cross-examination witness related the course of business with the defendant, and Mr. Carrington claimed that the firm did not use ordinary prudence and common caution in making inquiries into the statements of the de- fendant. Witness continued, saying that the money was advanced on account to aid defendant to bury his daughter. They had guaranteed St. Clair, as special agent. $150 per month against commissions, and up to the time of the arrest there had been paid him $375. . Re-direct—Witness said that October 19 St. Clair’s account had been overdrawn $175. Re-cross—Witness advanced the money defendant “because his daughter was Re-cross—They sometimes advanced money toagents. They advanced defendant £150 September 8 to move his family from Tennes- see. Mr. Carrington here raised the point that the venue was improperly laid: that it should have been laid in Baltimore, and read a num- ber of authorities—Wharton, Bishop and others, The letter was sent from this city and the money obtained in Baltimore, and he claimed that Baltimore was the place for trial. The letter containing the check was legally the property of the defendant the moment i went into the hands of the postmaster in Bal- timore. This point was overruled and exceptions noted. David Rittenhouse testified as to the payment of the check at Riggs & Co.'s. Mrs. Emma M. Sheridan testified that St. Clair had a room at her house in October last; never heard of him having a daughter here, but had heard him worry about the failure of letters to come from his family. Detective Raff testified to the conversation he had with the prisoner; that he spoke of his stepdanghter Pearl, saying that he bad no daughters of his own; that his stepdaughter Pearl was in Tennessee, and he was oan about to send her a present. This closed the evidence on both sides. RULING OF THE count. After recess the court said, as to the qnes- tion raised, that his impression was that the offense of false pretenses was complete when the party parts with his money. Should, how- ever, he direct a verdict of not guilty, it would end the case, and if the motion was overruled no harm would be done, for the verdict could be set aside and the case could be passed upon in General Term. The government did not open the argument, and Mr. Carrington, for the defendant, argued that there could be no connection, as it was ex- plicitly stated that the money was on account, and the books show that the amount was charged against the defendant, the sum to be repaid by his services. The goverment did not reply. to THE COURT INSTRUCTED THE JURY that the elements of the offense were that de- fendant made the pretense; that it was false; that he knew it to be false, and that it was for the purpose of inducing the party to part with something, and that the prosecuting witness believed the false pretense. He then reviewed the claim of the government, and said that the defendant admitted writing the letter and sending the telegram, and that, not- withstanding the pretense, it was not the pretense which induced the sending of the check, but that on the simple fact that he was in the employment of the firm the money would have been sent. If they found that de- fendant sent this letter with the intention to cheat them out of the amount of the check he should be convicted. If the pretense of a sick and dying daughter was the sole or substan- tial part of the inducement that led to the sending of the check, the case was made ont. They should be satistied beyond a reasonable doubt of the guilt and must find the allega- tions made out, and that the check was pro- cured with a felonious intent before they couid convict. The jury retired at 2:05 o'clock. A VERDICT OF GUILTY. At 3:20 the jury brought in a verdict of guilty, . Died of His Wounds. THE SUFFERINGS OF THE MARINE WHO SHOT HIMSELF AT LAST ENDED. John Henry Logue, the marine who at- tempted suicide in the Marine barracks some weeks ago, as published in Tae Star at the time, died at the Naval hospital yesterday from the effects of his wounds. As stated at the time Logue had saved several hundred dollars while in the service, and when his last enlistment expired he in- tended into business, but he was ing robbed of his money. He then took to drink- ing, and wound up his debauch by shooting himself in the head one Sunday morning after he discovered that he had again enlisted. He shot himself with a Winchester rifle, the muz- zie of which he put in his mouth, He had tied a string to the trigger and fired the weapon by attaching the string to his foot, Logue was forty-two years old, coe See A Fight at the “Zoo.” A VIRGINIA DEER ATTACKS THE BIG BUFFALO— THE COMBATANTS SEPARATED. The large male buffalo and the Virginia black tail deer, of the embryo “zoo,” had a fight to-day in the enclosure back of the Smith- sonian building. Keeper Weeden heard the buffalo bellowing and went to see what was the matter. He found the deer and the Buffalo in a deadly fight, and quickly arming himself with a stout club he went into the inclosure, and after a desperate struggle succeeded in separating them. Mr. Weeden said to a Star reporter that he had no doubt that the fight would have been to death, “That little animal,” said he, pointing to the deer, who was standing near by eyeing the buffalo, “is the gamest creature I ever saw.” The two will be separated as soon as possible. ——_.—____ GEORGETOWN.

The Blaine men are still waiting with great anxiety to hear something from Indianapolis, It is evident that they have not yet received the assurances they are looking for, nor even | the least intimation as to Mr. Blaine’s chances. It has gradually become known that Mr. His- cock brought nothing with him from Indian- | apolis. He was no more fortunate in this re~ spect than those who went before him. While the prevailing opinion is that Mr. Blaine will be offered the State portfolio, he and his friends ARE STILL IN DOUBT. A curious evidence of their frame of mind was furnished to-day when one of the warmest of Mr. Blaine’s confidential friends, who, it was thought, knew much of what is to be done in matter, went privately to a disinterested who is on friendly terms with Mr. asked if he had got any sort of intimation, and what he thought the President-elect would do as to Blaine. The question was asked with an anxiety that showed how much in doubt the questioner was, Renewed efforts are being made by the anti- Blaine men to prevent his selection, and both sides of the question are being presented to Gen, Harrison WITH PERPLEXING EARNESTNESS OF PURPOSE. Within the past two or three days the anti- Blaine side of the question has been vigorously presented, but Mr. Blaine’s enemies, as far as can be learned, have been no more successful than his friends in getting any expression of parposs or opinion from General Harrison. ne member said to a Star reporter to-day that he knew the President-elect wanted to make Sherman Secretary of State, but that the attitude of the Ohio Senator in the matter, and the pressure being made by Blaine's friends, would most likely result in Blaine’s selection, President Cleveland’s Opportunity. To the Editor of Tux Eventne Stan. It was stated some days ago that the Presi- dent had determined to reappoint Commis- sioner Webb, but now it is said he has recon- sidered that purpose in view of various grave reasons why such reappointment should not be | made, Without entering upon the question of the considerations why Mr. Webb should not be reappointed, permit me to suggest through your columns what I think would be a disposi- tion of the matter by the President that would | meet general favor by the public. We are now confronting a momentous period in the history of this District, when the Jegislative as well as the exceutive power will be again lodged in the | bends of tho republican party, Under | such cireumstances it would certainly re- |dound to the credit of Mr. Cleveland | | as well as promote the material prosperity of this city, were he to gracefully waive his privi- lege, and leave the selection of ail the District Commissioners to the incoming administration. |For many reasons it is manifestly desirable | that perfect harmony should pre in the | District government. more especially that its | affiliations with the White House should be of re the sided here for many years, is no stranger to our needs, and is therefore +mineutly qualified to make judicious appointments) would be able to enlist his good services in our than am appointee of his predecessor; in other words, Mr. Harrison would doubtless’ prefer to select himself his own advisers on District affairs, As an interesting fact in this connec- tion I desire to call your attention to the fol- lowing manly, patriotic and intelligent views of his illustrious grandfather, President W. H. | | Harrison, as expressed in his inaugural address | March 4, 1841. The italics, it may be noted, | are President Harrison's own: PRESIDENT W. H.
