Bromide of Potassium. Mr. R. C. Daniels, a young man who came here from Dayton, Ohio, about a year ago, secured a position as electrician at the Metro- politan club. He was a hard drinker at times, it is said, and when sobering up would use bro- mide of potassium to steady his nerves. Then he stopped drinking and took to a liberal use of the drug instead of liquor. The habit grew upon him with painful results. At times he became somewhat irrational. He boarded at the house of Mrs. Graves, 703 D street south- east, but he became so sick that December 27th he consented to go to the Garfield hospital. Upon his arrival at the hospital he made an uncomplimentary remark about Dr. Hutton, the resident physician, because the latter is a Canadian, and refused to remain in the hos- pital. He returned home, but getting worse consented again to go to the hospital. Last Saturday a telephone message was sent to the police concerning the Eames and requesting that Daniels be placed in the police station. The police hesitated, but when the doctor said he was WILLING TO CERTIFY THAT DANIELS WAS INSANE, they decided to let the doctor remove him to the station. Saturday afternoon the young man was taken to the eighth precinct station and locked up. The policemen were unable to find any traces of insanity, and gave him acom- fortable room on the second floor instead of keeping him in one of the prison cells. Police Surgeons Snyder and Klineschmidt examined the patient and found him ‘‘sane.” He was thereupon discharged from custody. The ae tient was accompanied to the hospital by - Mr. F. E. Newton, who, from the reports made by the hospital ——s stated that he thought the patient should be taken to a place where he could dono damage. When taken to the sta- tion the young man wept like a child, protest- ing that he was not insane, and therefore did not want to be locked up in a cell where crimi- nalsare held. Friends of the Ace Here are denouncing Dr. Hutton for having him trans- ferred from the hospital to the police station. DR. HUTTON SAID: “The day after he came here he attempted to get away, but I persuaded him to return to his room and subsequently removed him to another one to prevent his escaping. He was very violent at times and continually poundin his door and ringing his cali-bell. He labore under the delusion that his nurses were witches, | and that in the evening after dark he left his room and went around the city. He refused to take nourishment and medicines, When the nurses would answer the call he would tell them that the people were trying to get into his room. The day before he ieft the hospital he made his escape from his room | and ran down the corridors into the front grounds en dishabille. He threatened to kill one of the hospital orderlies. That afternoon Mrs. Graves called and I told her that we had no proper means for keeping him, and asked her to take the responsi- bility of caring for him, but she refused. I | then asked her to have Mr. Newton come up that night, and told her that if Daniels con- tinued acting as he had, our only alternative would be to turn him over to the police. To | thatshe made no objection, but asked me to notify her. He continued pounding on his door and endeavored to get away, Mr. New- ton telephoned me and I informed him that I would have to get the police to take care of the patient. Daniels threatened to smash | everything in the hospital, and as I did not | * consider him fit to be trusted in the hospital I | had him taken to the station in the ambulanee. Before he left we found a table-knife hidden in his table drawer, which he stated heintended to use in making his escape. Within a short time after he left I telephoned Mr. Newton that he had been sent to the station, and also noti- fied the sanitary officer.” IN BEHALF OF THE HOSPITAL, it is claimed that if Mr. Daniels was mentally sound, as stated by the doctors who examined him, his behavior while in hospital was dis- tinctly vieious, and totally incompatible with the proper treatment of the other patients sur- rounding him, and req tiring, if the friends re~ fused to take care of him, his transference to the only place where he could be restrained. The hospital doctor is bound to consider the comfort and safety of all the inmates and can- not, therefore, retain any one who disturbs them. The hospital is not a suitable place for insane or unmanageable patients, and if this patient became unmanageable the doctor in charge of the hospital did the only thing possi- ble under the circumstances, having first warned his friends that he would be obliged to turn him over to the police. ‘The young man’s father, who is lieutenant of police in Dayton, has been notified of his son’s misfortunes, 3 piel iene Private Dalzell’s Canard. SECOND AUDITOR DAY ISSUES A CIRCULAR RELA- TIVE TO MILEAGE FOR SOLDIERS. The commissioner of pensions has, within the last few days, received about two hundred letters from invalid pensioners and widows of soldiers of the late war. Many of these con- tain newspaper clippings to the effect that Private Dalzell, of Ohio. in a statement to a friend living in Pittsburg, Pa., says there is a law of Congress allowing soldiers who were captured and imprisoned while in the line of duty, or their legai representatives, 28 cents a day while so confined, 25 cents a day while on furlough, 25 cents daily for extra-duty pay be- tween April and October, 1862; also transporta- tion to and from the army at the rate of 5 cents amile, It is further stated that he wrote to Washington and got his money without ques- tion, and that every other soldier or pensioner ean do the same thing. The commissioner, in an Official letter inclosing two of these ingui- ries, called the attention of Second Auditor Day, of the Treasnry, to the matter. who re+ nded by issuing the following circular: “There is no law allowing 5 cents a mile or any mileage to soldiers or enlisted men. Nearly all those soldiers entitled to commutation of subsistence and travel pay (act of July 22. 1861) have already been paid it. No transportation pay. is due to soldiers while traveling on fur- ough. Nearly all volunteer soldiers entitled to extra-duty pay have received it. and section 35, act March 3, 1963, rope all laws in force as to such pay for volunteers for extra service performed after March 3, 1863, with only a few exceptional cases. Nearly all soldiers who were risoners of war and their heirs, under act july 25, 1866, and act March 2, 1467, have re- ceived pay for rations allowed under said acts, The commissary-general, U. 8. A., War de ment, and the third auditor of the Treasury have jurisdiction of these claims, and also for subsistence pay for soldiers while on furlough.” This circular will be embodied in a circular- letter from the pension office, and will be used in reply to all inquiries regarding such allow- ances, —__ CHINAMEN IN Court.—There was some con- fusion in the Police Court this morning wh the prosecuting attorney called Judge Miller's attention to a cross charge of threats between two Chinese laundrymen, Chong Leeand Chong C. Kee, The former does business at No. 344 Pennsylvania avenue and the latter runs a laundry at No. 108 434 street. Mr. Carrington, who appeared for the last named shirt-washer, found it a difficult matter to call or select his client from the number of Celestials who ap- peared to swear a case against somebody. ‘The trouble between the Chinamen was caused b a belief on the ok of Chong Lee that his neighbor ‘vas guilty of aiding the police to While 6 Chon; unable to tell any particular 1a Kee had used against him, Chong Lee confesse that he was afraidof him. ‘And is he afraid of you?” asked the judge. “Yes, sir,” he an- swered, “Then,” said the judge, “Ill take your bonds to war, Stren of each other. When you see him first be careful that he don’t see you and yon will never get hurt.” Chong Kee objected and said he witnesses. The court heard their testimony and acquitted him, Chong Lee was required to give his personal bonds “to keep the peace toward all lawful citi zens of the United States and especially toward Chong Kee.” 3 Ea Marriace Licenses.—Marriage licenses have been issued by the clerk of the court to W. m, of Philadelphia, Pa., and Anna E. Bargin, of intown, Pa.; Clarence D, Harvey and Jeannie Lane; Willis T, Walker and Bessie M. Fridley; Robert M. Graham and Alice A. Henderson, both of Alexandria; W. 8.

Timo- thy J. Campbell, who now represents the eighth New York congressional district. On him the newspaper correspondents have pinned an in- finjte variety of jokes, ancient and modern, but they will have to find some other character on which to operate after the 4th of next March. There is, however, one characteristic story of the honorable Tim which has never been | printed, and although the occurrence which is to be chronicled dates back a couple of years still the matter is fresh. It was just before Warner Miller gave up his seat in the Senate to Hiscock that the “mimber frum th’ eighth” escorted a quartette of intimate friends over to the northern end of the capitol. The visitors were TYPICAL GOTHAM WARD POLITICIANS. Their faces were rubicund and their voices were loud. Diamonds of the largest size and of the most gorgeous glitter adorned their shirt fronts, while the four closely-cropped heads were topped with the latest style in silk hats, Headed by the congressman they made a de- scent upon one of the doorkeepers of the Sen- ate, Mr. Campbell's form was very erect and his head was thrown back to such an extent that an ignorant observer might have supposed that the congressman was about to attempt some intricate acrobatic feat. “Say,” said the honorable Tim, as he grabbed the doorkeeper by the collar, ‘tell Bill Evarts Thave some frinds out here that wud loike t say him.” THE DOORKEEPER WAS ASTOUNDED at the familiarity with which Mr. Evarts was referred to, but in a minute or so the Senator was undergoing the agonies of a handshaking contest with the muscular constituents of Mr. Campbell. Five minutes later he was back in his seat in the chamber, congratulating himself at his escape, Once more did Mr, Campbell address the doorkeeper. ‘Tell Miller to come out here,” said he.

He had shown his friends how easily he could drag the Senators out of their seclusion; he had proved his power. With his thumbs stuck in the arm- holes of his waistcoat the “mimber frum th’ eighth” cut a Bowery “pigeon-wing” on the sacred green carpet of the Senate lobby, and, as he concluded the final step of his pas de seul, he gazed triumphantly at his “‘constitoo- ents” and queried: *-Fwhat do yees tink av yer Congreshman now, me by The Alaskan Inquiry. STATEMENT FROM THE ATTORNEY FOR THE ALASKA COMPAN When the committee on the merchant ma- rine and fisheries met yesterday to continue its investigation into the alleged out- rages on the Seal islands in the Behring sea, Mr, Jeffries, the attorney for the Alaska company, submitted a statement which, he said, he deemed important as to the course to be pursued by the company im reference to the pending investigation. He desired to show, he said, that » charges which have appeared in certain newspapers accusing the company of oppress- ing and outraging the native inhabitants of Alaska, and those in an official re- port of the governor of the territory asserting that the company had opposed immigration and settlement, and with driving out competition in its trade, monopo- lizing its business, and oppressing the natives were unfounded, Representative Dunn, the chairman of the committee, read the resolution of the House authorizing the investigation, and decided that it did not rmit the committee to go into all the charges af- fecting the company outside of the Seal islands. He would allow Mr. Jefferies, however, to show in a general way that the pos- session of the lease for taking fur seals, andthe presence of the company’s representatives in the Territory of Alaska, were beneficial to the country. Messrs. T. F. Morgan, Dr. Chas. A. Lutz, J. E. Kirk, John R. Hall, and J. C. Redpath were called and vestified in favor of the company. ssitcned -~<sssb este The Columbia Hospital.

A. Constantine, Boston, Mass.” He was assigned to a room on one of the upper floors. Yesterday, while the guests of the house were at dinner, the bell boy found Con- stantine ina room near his own, which he had entered by means of -key obtained from one of the employes. The intruder was placed under arrest and held in —T until the arrival of Detectives Mattingly and Wheeler, when he was taken to the first precinct station and locked up on suspicion. He had7 cents in his kets. From the information received by the officers they:think the prisoner's name is Edw. A, Gildea and that he is from San An- tonio, Tex, Among his effects was found a program of an entertainment given at the Bos- ton reformatory, which ieads the officers to be- lieve that he was once an inmate of that insti- tution. He is held at the station until he can be further investigated. _seo AL Says He Boveut THE SToLren Watox.— About a month ago, W. H.

A new cabinet boom was developed very un- expectedly at Indianapolis yesterday. Though but two gentlemen visited Gen. Harrison, Judge R. L. Berkshire, of West Virginia, and ex-Representative Rosewell G. Horr, of Michi- gan, both, if their subsequent talk with thecor- respondents may be credited, were earnest in their conversation with the President-elect. Judge Berkshire carried a letter from Gen. Nathan Goff, withdrawing from the list of so- called cabinet candidates and stating that he should contest with Senator Kenna the seat in the United States Senate, and if beaten in the race he would still be governor of West Vir- ginia, Incidentally Mr. Goff, according to the New York Tribune man, ‘said a good word for Stephen B. Elkins, commending him for a place in the cabinet as a representa- tive West Virginia republican, 80 at least, Judge Berkshire announced. before he took the letter up to Gen. Harrison this evening. The judge is an old-time mem- ber of the gone party in West Virginia, and was onthe bench there for many years He claims the credit of being an “origin: Harrison man;” was one of the delegates- at-large from West Virginia to the convention, and voted and worked for Gen. Harrison all the way through. Besides the message from Gen. Goff, the judge said he had brought with him a valise full of letters from prominent West Virginia republicans endorsing Mr. El- kins as a cabinet candidate. John C. New took him upto Gen. Harrison's house to deliver em, ELKINS’ VALUE TO THE STATE. The Times man say “Judge Berkshire docs not include Messrs, Scott, Hart, Dana, and Cowden in his list of letter-writers. Indeed he roundly denounced those gentlemen for their visit to Gen. Harri- son, saying that they came ‘on their own hook,” without having consulted with the other repub- licans of the state and not representing them.” “How about this claim that Mr. Elkins is not a resident of West Virginia?” Judge Berkshire was asked. “He is a resident. lie has not lived long in the state, to be sure, but he is one of the ablest republicans in the country, and he and his father-in-law, ex-Senator Da‘ have done more than any one in the state to de i sources and increase its wealth. Goff he is the choice of the republicans of the state for the cabinet. Mr. Goff can have any- thing he wants, but he being out of the way the republicans of the state would like to see Mr. | Elkins in the cabinet. Our state has just been redeemed from democratic rule. Nothing will so tend to make her solidly republican as to put Mr. Elkins in the cabinet. She is a small state now, in point of population, but men like Mr. Elkins and ex-Senator Davis are building railroads and planting industries which wiil soon make her populous and rich.” “Senator Davis himself is almost as good a re- publican now as Mr. Elkins, isn’t he?” “Well, he is practically acting with the re- publicans, Idon't know but what you may call him a good republican. All his ‘interests are republican. I know this—he didn’t turn his hand over to help Cleveland during the campaign.” WHAT MR. HORR THINKS. Mr. Horr called to again urge Gen. Harrison to give a cabinet portfolio to Gen. Alger, and appears to think that his favorite will be selected, He had just come from New York, and to the Trilune correspondent said that ‘no compromise was in sight in regard to the Platt-Miller difficulty. He added: “I saw Mr. Miller just before I came out here, and he told me that he would take nothing but a cabinet portfolio. He added that he was not going to Indianapolis to see Gen. Harrison.” Mr. Horr thinks that Jno. Wanamaker will be the next Postmaster-General. He puts Jno. 8. Swift, of California, in the cabinet as Secretary of the Navy, and thinks that Gen. Har son will choose between Mr. Miller and Mr. Platt for New York's portfolio. This, then, is the way Mr. Horr figures out the heads of the five departments: Mr. Blaine, Secretary of State; Gen. Alger, Secretary of War: John 8. Swift, Secretary of the } John Wanamaker, Postmaster-General; Mr. Platt or Mr. Miller, no department assigned; Chas, Foster, of Ohio, a chance for one of the re- maining departments, A BOOM FOR EX-PRESIDENT HAYES. According to the Washington correspondent of the New York Heraid, “there seems to be a concerted movement on the part of several re- ublican leaders in Ohio to secure a place in en. Harrison's cabinet for ex-President Ruth- erford B. Hayes. * It is said, but with howmuch truth cannot be learned, that Senator John Sherman is a party to the scheme. This would leave Gov. Foraker out in the cold and at the same time permit Mr. Sherman to remain in the Senate, which he prefers to a cabinet rtfolio. The two factions in Ohio, which are jed respectively by Messrs, Sherman and For- aker, are both friendly to Mr. Hayes, who has quietly pursued the even tenor of his way and studiously oided committing himself to either. Senator Sherman is also influenced in the matter by sentimental considerations which grew out of the gratitude felt by him for Mr. Hayes, who, by making him his Secretary of the Treasury, gave him the opportunity to achieve a national reputation asa great finan- cier. Mr. Hayes, it is said, could have a foreign mission, but he prefers to remain at home. His friends say he would like to be Secretary of War. The duties of the position are not o1 ous and are more to Mr. Hayes’ liking than those connected with any of the other cabinet ortfolios. The most cordial relations exist between Hayes and the President-elect, and the Ohio people say if a man from their state is selected it is more likely to be Mr. Hayes than either Sherman or Foraker, NOTES. A Chicago special to the New York Mail and Express represents Senator Blair, who was in- terviewed in that city, as having the impres- sion that the cabinet is made up. Senator Blair thinks Blaine should be at the head of the cab- inet, and that the man from Maine is entitled to the ition, He believes that if the fight agail Blaine should succeed, and Harrison should ignore him, both Harrison and the en- tire republicen party of the country would af- terward feel that Mr. Blaine had been cruelly treated. Chicago specials state that orders have been received by a house in that city for several carriages and sets of harness for General Har- rison’s use. G, W. Matthews, a Chicago tailor. was at Indianapolis yesterday to take the measure of General Harrison for his inauguration suit. He also will make several tailor-made costumes for Mrs, Harrison and Mrs, McKee. A telegram was sent from Lincoln, Neb., last night to President-elect Harrison, signed by the twenty-seven members of the Nebraska state senate, urging the appointment of John M. Thurston as Secretary of the Interior. The Harrison and Morton club of Norfolk, Va., the largest body of white republicans in the south, unanimously endorsed Gen.

The occasion which drew them to gether was the formal public welcome home of Mr. Joseph Chamberlain and his Americas bride. The entrance of Mr. and Mrs. Cham berlain, who were accompanied by Mr. Cham- berlain’s sons and danghter, Lady Mandeville, and others, was the signal for great cheering, the organist meanwhile playing a wedding march. Handsome bouquets were presented to Mrs. Chamberlain, who was greatly pleased at the heartiness of the reception, and repeat- edly bowed her acknowledgments, The bride was dressed in pink satin, and her ornaments were diamonds and sapphires, The presentation of the wedding gifts and accompanying addresses followed.” The gifte consisted of a pearl necklet witha diamond clasp from the citizens, and a brilliant diamond brooch, containing fifty-five gems in the shape of a six-pointed star, the gift of the women of Birmingham. The citizens had eub- scribed $3.500 for the purchase of these gifts. Mr. Chamberlain, in replying to the ad- *. said they surp: his expectations im the warmth of their greeting to his wife, whose ancestors left England over 250 years ago. Although he neither hoped nor expected te lessen her love for the country of her birth, he knew that she was prepared to take up life among them in all its aon, and that she would say with trath, “Thy people shall be my people.” Referring to the feeling of kin- ship with America expressed in the address just pregented, be said that that wasno new feel- ing in Birmingham. At the time of America’s greatest trial—the crisis of the Union—the elo- quent voice of John Bright. now unfortunately hushed for a time by illness, was raised agaim in that very hall to defend the integrity of the republic. “The same feeling permeated the whole country, It was now mitted on all hands that a serious qnarrel with America would be the greatest national calamity. Dif- | ferences were certain to arixe from time to time, but the democracies of both countries were determined that they should be amicably arranged. He was glad to say that even august body, the American Senate, had noth- ing to say about his private negotiations, which | his hearers nad just ratified by their presence, He again tendered bis own and his wife's heart- felt thanks for their kindly reception and beau- tiful gifts. When Mr. Chamberlain and his wife took their departure the crowd that had been wait ing outside the hall cheered them enthu- siastically, IN BOSTON. He Defends the Interstate Law and Sounds a Warning About Trusts. Among the distinguished guests at the an- nual dinner of the Boston Commercial club last night were Judge Cooley, chairman of the interstate commerce commission; Prof. Richard F. Ely, of Johus Hopkins university Seth Low, ex-mayor of Brooklyn; Col. Elliott F. Shepard, of the New York Mail and Express; Gov, Ames, Collector Saltonstall, Gen, Francia A. Walker, Gen. N. Benks and Hon, J, W. Candler. There were about 250 present in all, Messages of regret were read from Allan G. Thurman, John Wanamaker, Abram 8. Hewitt and Hon. Charles F. Adams. President Lane then made a brief introductory address in which he announced the subject of discussion as “Combination and Competition, and Allied | Subjects.” OBJECT OF THE LAW, Judge Cooley said he did not care to discuss the question of repealing the interstate com- merce act, which, he declared, had good pur- pose. It was intended to correct enormous abuses previously existing, but they cannot be corrected without catting off some sources of improper income, The urgent call for a modi- fication of the act which comes from railroad | circles has sprung up recently. Judge Cooley | continued: “I desire to call special attention to this fact: That the period during which the law operated most to the benefit of the rail- roads was precisely that during which its pro- visions were best observed. There are vigorous complaints now. They relate mainly to the clause of the act which forbids the e— charge on the shorter haul on the same ine in the same direction where the circum- stances and conditions are similar and that which makes pooling unlawful. The first-mentioned clause embodies a principle right in itself, In large sections of the country the roads have come into conformity with it and not suffered loss from dingo so. In others it was not practi- cable to do so, at least immediately. But the difficulties are greatly increased by the ex- cessive —— ef the roads at leading points, and they will diminish as the managers come toa better understanding among them- selves. CONTRIVANCES OF RALROAD MEN TO DEFEAT THB LAW. “The law intends that the rates for the trans- portation of persons and property shall be the same for all classes and shall be steadily main- tained. It also intends that the railroad busi- ness of the country shall be done with full pub- ligty. This purpose of the lawis defeated by contrivances that are clearly opposed to the intent of the law, if not to its terms, The dif- ference between a trust and a pool is almost as great as that between a despot on a throne and the player who mimics him on the stage. Trusts are things to be feared. They antagonize a leading and most valuable prin- ciple of industrial life in their attempt not to curb competition merely, but to put an end to it. The course of the leading trust of the country has been such as to emphasize the fear and the benefits that have come from its cheapening of an article of commerce are ignificant when contrasted with the mis- fs that have followed the exhibitions in y forms of the merciless power of concen- mai trated capital. ONE OF THE CRYING EVILS in railroad service now needing attention is the combination between the scalper and the un- scrupulous passenger agent. This will be bro- ken up just as soon as there are applied in railroad matters the same general maxims of business prudence which are expected to com trol in other interests. Ifthe combination in the same person of the two characters of rail- road manager—in whatever official position— and of speculator in railroad stocks could be renderes impossible, Judge Cooley it, it would go far to remove many re Barge ong Mysterious Crime in Baltimore.
