Mr. Landes (IIL) raised a point of order against the clause of the bill providing payment for the use of the steam presses in the bureau of engraving and printing a royalty not ex- ceeding 1 cent per thousand impressions. He stated that the effect of the provision would be to prevent the use of the seventeen or eighteen presses which the government now used, the existing contract calling for a royalty of $1 per AT THE CAPITOL TO-DAY.

WEST VIRGINIA SENATORSHIP. The Democrats Fail to Settle on a Can- didate—Kenna’s Chances. Special Dispatch to Tux EVENING STAR. Cuartestox, W. Va., Jan. 23.—The senate completed ite organization yesterday by the election of all the officers, all of whom are re- publicans, This was accomplished with the assistance of Carr. After organization there was a fight over the method by which a joint session should be held. The republicans wanted to meet and canvass the returns for boarded by robbers just beyond Ludlow last night The train had scarcely got beyond the lights of Ludlow when a man heavily masked knocked at the rear door of the e: car, and one of the messengers, thinking it was the conductor or brakeman, opened the door, The fellow at once made for the front door, where a vigorons pounding announced the a of another person. The a jenry Carroll, and his assistant made perate fight and succeeded in dumping the would-be robber off, and he rolled down an embankment and disappeared. The other robber seemed to realize that something was wrong and his knocking ceased. At the top of the grade the messenger pulled the bell and stopped the train, but the robber on front platform disappeared before he could be caught.

LYONS ALL-SILK VELVETS, Black and Colors, at MR. BLODGETT’S PAIR WITH MR. RIDDLEBERGE! Mr. Blodgett made an explanation as to h pair with Mr. Riddleberger on the tariff bill. He had made that pair, he said, in good faith, at the request of Mr. Hiscock and with the w derstanding that the Senator from Virginia was in favor of the bill. He had hunted up that Senator and told him what he had done, and at his request he had allowed the pair to stand. ‘MR. RIDDLEBERGER REMARKED that there was no difference between the state- ment which he had made to the Senate last evening and that just made by the Senator from New Jersey. The pair had been made for the vote on agreeing to the amendment, and after that vote the Senator from New Jersey had sought him out.in the cloak room and si “Let this pair stand.” He believed that they both misunderstood each other at the time. Neither Senator would attack the ‘integrity of the other as to that pair. WHAT MR. BLODGETT BELIEVED. Mr. Blodgett—I had no information that the Senator from Virginia was opposed to the pas- sage of the bill. I paired with him, believing him to be in favor of its passage, and I want that fact to be distinctly understood.

These, according to the act of par- liament, need not have been elected mem- bers of the council.

Curcaco, Jan. 23.—Pandemonium reigned in the wheat pit at the opening of the board to- day. The bears were flushed with their victory of yesterday and were crowding their advan- tage. A cable to the board which reported an increase of wheat and flour on ocean p: of 1,520,000 bushels was an im) nt aid to them. These figures were about 500,000 bushels larger than were reported by Beerbohm yesterday. “Resolved, That he be declared elected United States Senator to succeed himself for term of six years, beginning March 4, 1889.” The resolution was adopted. President Werts made a formal declaration of Mr. McPherson's election, whereupon the joint assembly rose. ——— May Invalidate all Indictments.

They hold that if Senator Brown, of Georgia, who is, by all odds, the most advanced protectionist in the party, could not vote for the Senate bill, then no democrat can. It is very boldly asserted that should a vote be reached on the bill in the House the party line would not be broken. It is expected that the bill will come over from the Senate this afternoon or to-morrow, and that it be REFERRED TO THE WAYS AND MEANS COMMITTEE without opposition on the democratic side. A number of those who voted to send the tobacco bill to Mr. Randall's committee have been questioned and have declared that they would not sanction any such action in this case. Whether, when the bill is in their hands, the ways and means committee will report it back again, i a matter of doubt, even to the commit- teemen themselves probably. The republicans of the House do not expect to ever hear of the bill again after it goes to the committee. The committee might be led to Sh gp the bill back, by the belief that this would embarrass their colleagues on the other side of the House, but this might prove a dangerous venture. The prevailing belief this morning is that the bill will never get into conference.
