His Endorsement by North Carolina Re- publicans Raises a Row. Special Dispatch to THE Eventyo Star. Raxeraon, N. C., Jan, 11.—Ex-Senator Mahone, who came here yesterday ostensibly to look after some interest he has in an oil and creosote factory here, was closeted with a number of leading republicans who gathered for the pur- pose of looking after patronage. Daniel L. Russell, Richmond Pearson and Oliver Dockery, the Inte defeated candidate for governor, were candidates for the endorsement of the North Carolina republicans for a cabinet position. Mahone came in, however, and through his friend, W. P. Canaday, sergeant-at-arms of the United States Senate, secured the endorsement to the great surprise and disgust of the trio and their trienda, Dockery was put off with a recommendation for consul-general to London. There was a great deal of last eye upon its being made known that Mahone had been endorsed. Some republicans are violently angry. Pearson’s friends say that Mahone worked by means of a ring, and that his en- dorsement is an anti-Blaine movement. A colored republican of prominence said that this matter of the introduction of Mahone and his methods into North Carolina politics was the last straw needed to break the k of republicanism in this state. The negroes are for Blaine. None of them. it appears, were in the conference. It is claimed that Raves 3 to factional troubles in the republican party here a large class of the party’s voters are unrepre- sented. It is said to be a fact that there is not in the entire legislature which has just con- vened a single republican of prominence or in- fluence. pale Se WEST VIRGINIA’S OLD LAWS. She Will Probably Have to get Along with Them for Some Time. Cuanteston, W. Va., Jan. 11.—The dead-lock in the senate continues, and as there are thir- teen senators on each side the republicans say they wil! not allow the dead-lock to be broken until the democrats abandon the questions now in the courts, or until such a time as contests will have been settled. This gives a weary out- look for much legislation. The house cannot work until the senate organizes, and that time is beyond the knowledge of any one. The sen- ate meets this afternoon at 3o’clock to en- deavor to organize. ——_—>___ Funeral of the Late Eugene Wetherell.

The Honse District committee to-day took up the Townshend resolution calling on the Dis- trict Commissioners for information concern- ing the purchase of school sites through mid- diemen. After some discussion the resolution was amended, and Dr. Atkinson was directed to report it favorably as amended. As reported it will read: Resolved. That the Commissioners of the Dis- trict of Columbia be directed to furnish to the House a statement of all matters relating to the purchase of sites for the public schools erceted within the District of Columbi: under the provisions of the acts a proved March 3, 1887, a.d July 18, 1883, “station-houses and all other struct cing in such statement the 1 site, the amount paid therefor, and whether such amount was the fair market price of said site at the time of purchase, “and what price the actual owner received.” whether the sites in mestion were purchased from the owners thereof directly or through the intervention of agents, and if agents were employed, upon what terms such employment was made, and if any sum was paid for the ser- vices rendered by such agent by the Commissioners or with their knowledge, “and the amount so paid.” and also whether the deeds for such sites were made in all cases directly from the owners of such sites or in any and what case by the intervention of third parties or middle-man, and if by third parties or middle-men why such method was resorted to “and the amount of profit realized by such mid- dlemen,” and generally all information touch- ing the purchase of said sites and the convey- ance thereof to said Commissioners which they may have in their power other than such as is asked for specially in this resolution, and which = be needed for a full understanding of the subject- matter referred to, together with such recom- mendations as to them may seem best for the conduct of the purchase of such sites in future, tothe end that proper legislation may be effected for that purpose. The amendments are between quotation marks. TO PREVENT AN INVESTIGATION, It is stated tobe the purpose of the com- mittee not to let this take the place of the Taul- bee resolution, but to pass this first, letting the other go over until another District day comes, after next Monday. This, however, is one of the delays, the ‘effect of which is to prevent an investigation, and it is reported by Dr. Atkinson, who ob- jected when unanimous consent was asked for the consideration of the resolution of in- vestigation. The committee also non-con- curred in the Senate amendments to the bill for the protection of girls in the District, Nominations To-Day. President Cleveland this afternoon sent the following nominations to the Senate: Henry W. Beckwith, of Illinois, to be United States consul at Bermuda, Postmasters—Mrs. Theresa A. Parker, Isle, Maine; Franklin H. Ra Center, Mass.; Henry L. Pai ;_ Edgar N. Nosb; Robinson, THE DEMOCRATIC DILEMMA. A Plan to Discipline Representative Weaver. ITS ONLY DEFECT IS THAT IT CANNOT BE CARRIED OUT UNLESS HE CONSENTS—WHY DEMOCRATS WANT TO CHANGE THE HOUSE BULES—JEALOUSY OF THE SENATE. Several suggestions have been made to Speaker Carlise of plans to release the House from the control of Gen. Weaver. . The trouble is the planners fail to take into account the fact that Gen. Weaver's consent must be had before any of their suggestions can be carried out. What annoys the democrats is not so much that no business can be transacted—they could stand that—but they fear a reaction in public sentiment, which will enable the repub- licans, without danger of criticism, to deprive the minority of all power in the next House. They see that there is more DANGER TO THEM IN THE PRESENT SITUATION than there could have been in permitting the proposed change of rules togo through. Every- day illustrates how vicious the present rules are, and it is certain to lead to a demand that the rules be changed. This has become so ap- parent that the democrats are anxious to make achange at once. The wisest among them see that it would be far better for them to make the change now so as to show that the minority bard be given power enough for self-defense without being able to abuse it, than to wait until the next Congress and meet the demand that all power be taken from them. With this in view they are consulting as to THE BEST COURSE TO BE FOLLOWED. The rule that they would adopt if they could, would provide that no dilatory motion can be repeated, except upon the demand of one-fifth of a quorum. This rule they will probably adopt if they can, even if the present dead-loc! is broken, by surrender of the House or by other means. They see the necessity for this change regardless, of General Weaver or of the interests of any particular bill. It is too evi- dent that the policy of non-action has been car- ried too far,and there isa most decided dis- position to break away. But General Weaver must be dealt with first, and THE PLAN SPEAKER CARLISLE PROPOSES to apply to him might be very effective if it could be put in operation. It is to do away with the 5-o’clock adjournment and to keep the House in session until Gen. Weaver is worn out. To hasten the breakdown of the dead-locker the Speaker would make him stand as teller all the while, though the teller on the other side would be relieved from time to time. If Gen. Weaver should ask to be excused from this service the House would refuse to excuse him. Twenty-four or forty-eight hours on his feet, the Speaker thinks, would be enough for him, A FATAL DEFECT IN THE PLAN. Undoubtedly this would break the dead-lock in a day or two, but the difficulty is that to do this the rules must be changed, and Gen. Weaver can filibuster against the change. The only amendment to the rules he would ee to would be such as would give his bill a chance to be voted on. The majority are just beginning to wake up to the fact that by the Operation of the rules the House is aimost entirely deprived of its rights as the prime source of legislation, and nearly all the POWER HAS BEEN TRANSFERRED TO THE SENATE. During this Congress scarcely a measure has been considered under the rules and passed. It is only by unanimous consent and a suspen- sion of the rules that anything at all is done. Necessity carries the appropriation bills through, but no legislation can be put upon them, no matter how necessary to the proper expenditure of the money, except in violation of the rules. So that while the constitution provides that the House must originate all ap- {phe canes bills, it is in fact the Senate that oes this, as they alone have power under the rules to change the form of the bills and place restrictions, extensions or any form of legis- lation upon them. Whatever changes the majority in the House wants to legislate as to appropriations they must get unanimous con- sent for, or else wait until the bill gets to the Senate and have that body make the desired change, VIEWS OF REPRESENTATIVE RUSSELL, Representative Russell, speaking on this sub- ject to a Srar reporter, said that the result was an absolute abdication of the House to the Senate, and that instead cf the popular branch of the government growing in power, as our fathers had expected it to, it had been gradu- ally surrendering its power to the more aristo- cratic body, the Senate. “The Senate,” he said, “composed principally of gentlemen of great wealth, who have a term of six years and are not elected by the people, feels perfectly independent to act regardless of the wish of the People, To that body the rights of the House are being surrendered.” This feeling that the House has lost much of its power through the operation of the rules as they have been adopted from time to time is becoming very general. IN THE CASE OF THE TARIFF, it is asserted that the fact that the Senate is preparing an entirely original tariff bill is an encroachment upon the constitutional rights of the House, which is encouraged by the general course the latter has been following. Some of those members of the House who are not will- ing that this should go on, declare that when the tariff bill comes from the Senate they will move its reference to the judiciary committee to have its legality tested, instead of sending it to the committee on ways and means, WHAT MR, WEAVER IS WILLING TO Do. ‘The House opened this morning without any improvement in the state of affairs. Gen, Weaver began filibustering before the journal was read, and the House was left in the same helpless condition. He said to a Stan reporter that he did not object to a change of rules to do away with the 5-o'clock adjournment. He might let them do that and yet they could not wear him out. If he were alone he could stand it; but he was notalone. He was inclined to think, though he had not yet fully decided, that he would be willing to have the rules changed so as to require one-fifth of a quorum torepeat a dilatory motion. Such a rule would give the Oklahoma bill the chance they wanted for it. He had no idea, however, that the other side would make such a proposition tohim. Any rule that would prevent his fili- bustering would also prevent others from fili- bustering a; st the Oklahoma bill. BY A RULING OF THE SPEAKER ~ it was held that the consideration of a confer- ence report was of higher privilege than a motion to adjourn or fix a day for adjourn- ment. This enabled the House to proceed with the conference report, but it does not open the way to any other business, When no conference report is before the House General Weaver may go on with his obstruction to busi- ness, A DANGEROUS PRECEDENT. Every effort is being made to induce Speaker Carlisle to arbitrarily refuse to recognize Weaver any longer for motions to adjourn, &c. Butifthiscan be done to Gen. Weaver now it may be done to Mr. Carlisle when his ty is in the minority. It makesa more langerous precedent than the change of rules a @ situation. = beng also & on ae le’s part, a going back upon the ion he took in Protesting against such atiteery action by Speaker Keifer. Some such extra- ordinary action seems, however, the only thing that will make the House master of it- self again. TO ROPE THE AVENUE. A Suggestion by the Inaugural Commit- tee Approved by the Commissioners. Chairman Britton, of the inaugural executive committee, and other members of the commit- tee, had a talk with the Commissioners this morning on the subject of public order on in- auguration day. The Commissioners detailed to them the estimates and plans they have laid before the House appropriation com- mittee providing for the employment of cussion of this matter by members of his committee that the Commissioners should pro- cure a wire rope or cable to be stretched along both sides of ‘lvania avenue from the capitol to the White House, for the purpose of kee; the crowds out of the roadway.

Consul-General Sewall, of Samoa, who has been at home for sevéral months, appeared before the Senate committee on foreign rela- tions to-day, Messrs. Sherman, Frye, Eyarts, and Dolph being present, There was also present ex-Minister John A. Kasson, who is greatly interested in the Samoan question. Mr. Sewall was examined in secret at great length by the members of the committee, He told in detail a story said to have been SAD AND HUMILIATING corroborative of his charge that the efforts made to induce the administration to take a vigorous and decided position in support of American interests on the islands, the only ones left in the Pacific where ne ity is now possible, had been failures. Mr. Sewall is re- ported to have expressed the belicf that the next mail will bring news of further and more terrible conflicts between the Germans and natives than any that have yet occurred. He said that the shedding of blood since he left Samoa had radically changed the situation of affairs there, and that if it were not intended to yield to Germany entire control of the is- lands, some decided action would have to be taken by the powers, He presented to the committee copies of the Samoan Times, a poate og +p published at Apia, containing ac- counts of an UNPROVOKED AND UNEXPECTED ATTACK by the German war ship upon the natives, and of a meeting by the consuls of other nations denouncing the act, and also the misleading and unfair statements by the German consul. Mr. Sewall spoke of the studied and systematic efforts of the Germans in sending out news from Berlin concerning Samoa to give the im- pression that an American was the aggressor in every case of trouble, German oppression, he is further reported to have said, is entirely re- sponsible for any apparent division of the na- tives into hostile factions. He described Tamasese’s followers as comparatively a hand- ful, who were threatened by an unpleasant dilemma, If they failed to keep up the agita- tion against the native government THEY FEARED DEATH at the hands of their German allies; if they escaped there the same fate awaited them at the hands of the natives, who considered them traitors to Samoa, VALUE OF THE GROUP TO US. As to the importance of maintaining at least the neutrality of the group, Mr. Sewall called the attention of the members of the committee to the fact that they lie in the paths of com- merce from the western states of this country to New Zealand and of much of that going around the cape of Good Hope to China’ and Japan, When the Americrn interoceanic canal is completed the traffic passing through there will be carried directly by the Samoan group. Much of Mr. Sewall’s testimony was LISTENED TO WITH GREAT INTEREST by the members of the committee, to whom much of it was new. Mr. Evarte was particu- larly interested, for the reason that he was Secretary of State when the treaty concerning the relations of this government with Samoa was executed, and when Germany's assurances of non-interference were so strong. The date of Mr. Sewalls return to his post of duty is undecided. He has been referred by the State department to the Senate committee, and is under their direction, He will probably leave in a short time. Mr. Sewall referred the committee to the Papert of George H. Bates, special agent of the State department to Samoa, made in December, 1886, which. he said, is much more exhaustive on the subject of American rights in Samoa than any other ublication he knows of. Mr. Bates was sent ‘o the islands in 1886 after the United States consul had raised the flag of his country over them, which act was disavowed by this gov- ernment. The committee has not yet decided whether or not to summon him. DISTRICT IN_ CONGRESS. Several Measures of Local Interest Acted on by the Senate Committee. The Senate committee on the District held its regular meeting this morning. The session was attended by Messrs, Ingalls, Riddleberger, Chace, Spooner, Farwell, Faulkner and Vance. Senator Faulkner was authorized to make a favorable report on the Senate bill to amend the act giving the approval and sanction of Congress to the route and termini of the Ana- costia and Potomac River railroad, The committee considered at length Senate bill 3752, to incorporate the Homestead savings bank of the District of Columbia, and thé va- rious sections of the measure were carefully considered. A number of suggestions were made, and the bill was finally committed to Senator Faulkner, with a request that he amend it in certain particulars and report it to the committee at the next meeting. Senate bill 3643, for the relief of the Building and Mutual Loan association of the District, was then taken up. Certain portions of the bill were not satisfactory to the committee, and after eesey debate the measure was referred to Senator Farwell for amendment. THE WASHINGTON AND WESTERN MARYLAND RAILROAD COMPANY. Senator Spooner was instructed to report favorably House bill 9418, to incorporate the Washington and Western Maryland railroad company. The bill as originally drafted fixed as one of the road’s termini the west bank of Rock creek, Georgetown, thence westerly along K, or Water street, to the Aqueduct bridge. This was an interference with the privileges granted the Georgetown barge, dock, elevator and railroad company, so on the petition of the officers of the barge com- pany the bill was recommitted to the com- mittee, and the committee to-day agreed to strike out those lines of the bill which inter- fered with the barge company’s right of way, and to make the Washington and the Western Maryland railroad have its Washington termi- nus at some point west of the Aqueduct bridge. MOUNT VERNON AVENUE, Senator Riddleberger made an argument in favor of his bill to provide for a survey by the War department of a national road from the Aqueduct bridge to Mount Vernon. He urged that such a highway was a national necessity, for now the only way in which the tomb of Washington could conveniently be reached was by steamer on the Potomac. The committee at once conceded the justice of the bill, and it was agreed to authorize Senator Riddleberger to make a favorable report on it with a recom- mendation that the appropriation of 10,000 which it carries be incorporated in the sundry civil bill. The committee continued in session until after the Senate had convened, at 11 o'clock, and would have remained in session until 12 but for the fact that the Senate lacked a quorum, HEARINGS ON THE DISTRICT APPROPRIATION BILL. The Senate sub-committee on District appro- riations was in session this morning and gave Seatnas © anumber of delegations who are interested in the bill. Mrs, Russell and Mrs, Wilkinson appeared, with a number of others, on behalf of the Yor Woman's Christian home. Pleas were le by others for the Foundling hospital. The raising of school teachers’ salaries was also advocated by a couple of teachers. County improvements were urged. by Mr. Geo. Truesdell and Mr. McLach! The bill will not_be reported until afler the tariff matter in the Senate has beeh dis- posed of, ——>_— SAD DEATH OF AN OLD MAN. He Expires in a Police Station After a Vain Search for His Brother.

Report of the Executive Committee of Garfield Hospital. THE HOSPITAL AUTHORITIES UPHELD IN THEIR ACTION—RESOLUTIONS OF THE HOSPITAL STAFF ADOPTED BY THE COMMITTEE—ADDITIONAL EVI- DENCE. A special meeting of the executive committee of the Garfield hospital called to inquire into the case of R. C. Daniels, who was removed from the hospital to a police station because of alleged insanity, was held yesterday afternoon and adjourned over to meet again this morn- ing. There were present, of the committee, Henry A. Willard, Joseph K. McCammon, Dr. John 8. Billings and Reginald Fendall, and Dr, J. M. Toner, president of the medical staff. The chairman stated that on the 9th inst. he had addressed a communication to the staff asking for information as to the admission, treatment, and discharge of oe RC. Daniels, Dr. Toner reported it a special meeting of the staff to consider the matter was held the next day, at which were presuns Drs. J. M. Toner, W. W. Johnston, James Kerr, a H. Bryan, J. W. H. Lovejoy, Lewis Mackall, J. Ford org ee William May, Swan M. Burnett, and Loyd M. Magruder. They heard the statement of the resident phy- sician and his assistant, the matron, several of the nurses, the orderly, and five of the patients who had been more particularly disturbed by Daniels. RESULT OF THE INVESTIGATION, After thoroughly examining this evidence the staff unanimously adopted the following reso- lutions: “That in the opinion of the staff Mr. Daniels was undoubtedly, on account of mental disturbance, an unfit person to remain in the hospital; that as Mr. Daniels was violent and noisy and was by his actions disturbing the other patients of the hospital, and as his friends had been already notified by the resi- dent physician of the necessity for his dis- charge and of his intention to send him to the police station if they should decline to make other proper arrangements for his care and they refusing to receive him, it seems that there was no other place suitable for his tem- porary supervision.” ADDITIONAL EVIDENCE. The data on which the report of the staff was made was submitted with the report and they were regarded as fully supporting the conclu- sions reached. Additional evidence, such for example as the written statements of the police sergeant, Drs, Klineschmidt and Synder, indi- cating their approval of the treatment the patient received at the hospital and their con- currence in the measures taken for his removal in view of the fact that Mrs. Graves and her daughter, his intimate friends, were anxious not to have him return to their house, fully warranted the execu ®ve committee in accepting this report. Additional testimony taken by the executive committee showed to its satisfaction that in the present mental condition of the pa- tient any statement from him must be incon- clusive and that at no time since his removal from the hospital has he been capable of mak- ing a reliable statement. REPORT OF THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE. The following report was adopted, and the chairman was instructed to present it to the board of directors, “As the result of careful investigation into the facts of the case of R. C. Daniels, alleged to have been cay datgrs Care at the Garfield hospital, and to have been sent from there to the police station without sufficient cause; and | having before it the report of the medical staf of the hospital, the written statement of pa- tients, nurses and other employes of the insti- tution, and also the statements of the persons who placed Mr. Daniels in the hospttal, the ex- ecutive committee reports as follows: “1, That Mr. Daniels, at the time of his ad- mirsion into the hospital, was somewhat con- fused in intellect, and his own statement, that he was suffering from the effects of excessive use of bromides, is very probably correct. “2. That very soon after his admission he began to have hallucinations, to complain of witches in the room, &c., and soon after that became so extremely noisy aud violent as to e oth @ cause of great annoyance and alarm to er patients, “3, That his friends were communicated with, and requested to remove him, on the ground that the hospital has no os for treating noisy and unruly patients, and that his friends were told that if they did not remove him it would be necessary to turn him over to the police authorities; that those who placed him there declined to take the responsibility of taking charge of him, and merely requested that when he was turned over to the police should be notified, “4. His violent condition continuing with re- fusal to take food, and manifestation of various delusions and hallucinations, police head- quarters were communicated with, and on the request of the resident physician of the hos- pital, he was sent away under the charge of two policemen. “5. That itis believed that this action was proper and wise under the circumstances, that e could not be kept in the hospital without risk to himself and aes to other patients, that it would have been unwise and inhumane to have allowed him to leave the hospital un- attended, and that his friends refusing to re- ceive him, the only course was to turn him over to the police authorities for such disposal as they might find expedient or necessary. “6. That whenseen after his removal from the station-house he was still in a dazed, confused state of mind, uncertain as to what had really happened, and ready to certify to almost any- thing that was suggested to him; that he then admitted that he could not say whether the revious statements as to ill-treatment, &c., in the hospital were founded on fact or not, ancl showed that a certain amount of delusion was still existing. . That during his stay in the hospital he was kindly and properly treated, and then no blame attaches to the medical staff, the resi- dent physician or taany nurse or employe of al in connection with his case. That the systematic attempt which seems ng to have been made to induce Mr. Daniels to certify to false statements to injure the repu- tation of the hospital by sensational and untrue accounts of the case, and to Prejudice the committee of appropriations of the House of Representatives in order to prevent the grant- ing of the usual appropriation, is highly dis- creditable to those concerned in it, and is utterly unwarranted either by the facts of this articular case or xg the previous record of e Garfield hospital and the character and standing of those connected with its manage- ment.” eet eine A CONFIDENCE TRICK. How a Confiding Colored Man Was Robbed by a Pair of Rascals. Robert Graves, a colored farm hand, whose home is near Harris’ Post-office, Louisa county, Va., went to Pittsburg two years ago, where he worked on the railroad. During his stay there he saved what money he could, and yesterday he started for his home with $48 in his pockets after purchasing a through ticket. He arrived here this morning on the B. and 0. railroad, and thea went to the B, and P. depot to take the southern train. While sitting in the sta- tion he made the acquaintance of a “white gentleman,” who was going to Fredericksburg. After conversing some minutes the stranger said that he had his baggage and some goods he had _ purchased at the hotel and asked Graves to 0 with him and assist him with the bundles to fhe depot. When the couple turned the corner of Pennsylvania avenue and 6th street another man approached them and presented a bill to the stranger. He had nothing in his ion but a check for $200. The second man, or the merchant, as he was called, could not change the check. Turning to Graves the si asked, ‘Have » You any money in your pocket?” “Yes, indeed,” answered Graves. “How much have you?” asked the stranger. “Here it is,” said Graves, handing over his $48. The r then explained that if Graves would it and wait for him he would soon money and pay him. Graves that he would come i aa ie THE INAUGURATION PARADE. Gen.

Public Printer Benedict, last August, wrote to the health officer complaining of the con- dition of Jackson alley, in the government printing office square. and urging that it be paved. The health officer recommended that the alley be paved. Capt. Symons estimated that the cost of paving the alley with asphalt blocks would be $5,471.62, of which amount $2,735.81 would be charg: i erty, under the compulsory- suggested. however, that there wag a question how it would be possible to get the share of the expense from the United States govern- ment for the land occupied by the government printing office. Attorney Riddle has rendered an opinion recommending that the work be done under the compulsory-permit law, “The agent of the United States requests it,” he says, “and I’ve no doubt Congress will pay it. The demand for the work is imperative, and I would do it at once.” The matter has now been referred to the engineer department, ELECTRIC LIGHTS FOR THE SOUTH SIDE OF THE AVENUE. The District Commissioners this afternoon gave a hearing toa delegation of merchants doing business on the south side of Pennsylva- nia avenue. The object of the visitors was to secure electric lights for that side of the ave- nue. Recently, by direction of the Commis- sioners, the electric lights that were first put up on the south side were removed to the north side. The south side merchants have pro- tested against it. The result of the interview this afternoon was that the Commissioners agreed todo what they could to secure from Congress a sufficient appropriation. Later, the Commissioners addressed a letter to the Senate committee asking that the ry to tion for electric lighting be increased from 240,000 to $45,000. in order to provide for the lighting of the south side of the Avenue.
