Davis, of Illinois, arrived here this morning. After taking breakfast they drove out to Gen- eral Harrison's residence and were with him several hours. Senator Sabin, when asked about a probable cabinet appointment, said his state had a man they to push for commissioner of ture, but, as that office was to be raised toa place in the cabinet, he did not suppose they could reach it. As to his own expecta- tions or desires he had nothing to say. THE CLAYTON ASSASSINATION. Resolutions of the Kansas Legislature. Sr. Lovts, Feb. 1.—The lower house of the Kansas legislature yesterday, after expressing regret at the murder of John M. Clayton in Ar unanimously adopted the following concurrent resolution: bes That the Congress of the United States be requested to adopt +h measures as will secure to every citizen of the states, at one time in open rebellion, perfect protection in the exercise of all political rights, even though it be necessary to place such state under mili- tary authority.” — THE CHEROKEES ALARMED. Fearful for Their Rights in View of the Oklahoma Agitation. Sr. Lovts, Feb. 1.—Late reports from the Indian territory say the Cherokees are looking with alarm at the various meetings held along the border with the intention of devising means of opening the territory to settlement. The Fort Smith convention especially puts the Indians to thinking, and some say if civil jurisdiction and railroads are what is wanted why don’t they say so without going into wholesale robbery under the pretence that the Indian territory is a wall blocking commerce. Then the Cherokees would meet them half way on fair propositions. ‘On the other hand many of the intelligent Indians express no apprehension, relying, as they say they do, on the United States to recog- nize their patent to lands and to have some re- gard for treaties. —_—__»—____ MR.

Al The Crown Prince’s Intimates Knew He Had Been Greatly Depressed. Viexna, Feb. 1.—It is believed that the state- ment of the Welner Zeitung with reference to the caown prince’s death is the outcome of yes- terday’s cabinet meeting, at which Herr Von Tisza i ae himself as strongly in favor of stating the details plainly. In this view the emperor concurred. Itis fully confirmed that Rudolph, in con- versing with his intimate friends during the last few days, showed an utter weariness of life and betrayed great nervous depression. HERR VON TISZA CALLS ON THE EMPEROR, Herr Von Tisza, the Hungarian prime min- ister, had an audience with Emperor Francis Joseph to-day. Their meeting was affecting. Herr Von Tisza took the emperor's hand and silently but warmly pressed it. He was so deeply moved that he could hardly express his sympathy. He urged the emperor to seek solitude some time before the funeral or immediately after it. The em oror rejected this advice, and remarked that fe would not leave the remains of his son. COURT FESTIVITIES ABANDONED IN RUSSIA, Sr. Pererssura, Feb. 1.—All the court fes- tivals have been abandoned in consequence of the death of the crown prince of Austria, The grand dukes and members of the diplomatic corps called at the Austrian embassy and ten- dered their condolence. The Official Messenger publishes a black-bor- dered article on the death of the crown prince. The Journal de St. Petersbourq deplores the cruel loss that Russia, whose imperial house is united to that of Austria by personal ties of friendship, has sustained through the death of the Crown Prince Rudolph. Another Painful Story. Lowvox, Feb. 1.—The Pall Mall Gazette says it is privately informed from Vienna that Ru- dolph committed suicide because it was oj tional with him to take his own life or to fight a duel with the brother of a princess who is a member of one of the highest Austrian families, and whom he had seduced. When concealment was no longer possible, the princess confessed her shame to her brother, who gave Rudolph the alternative of commit- ting suicide or fighting a duel. ° The Pall Mall Gazette further says that the doctors who were summoned refused to si a certificate to the effect that Rodolf's death. was due to apoplexy, and that a great scene ensued. One of the doctors told the Newe Freie Press the real facts, which that paper published. EE KENNA GAINS A MAN. Merrill, of Wirt County, Votes for Him in To-day’s Ballots. Cuartestox, W.

WEBB AS A WITNESS. His Testimony Before the Congressional Investigating Committee. ‘HE EXPLAINS THE RELATIONS OF MR. COX TO The room of the committee on reform in the civil service was filled with smoke at 1 o'clock to-day. This is the room where Mr. Taulbee’s committee is pursuing its investigation of the purchase of school sites by the District Commissioners. The Com- missioners were there and other officials, and nearly all had cigars that sent up blue wreathes of smoke. The committee ad- journed yesterday to meet at 1 o'clock to-day, but, as the vote on the Oklahoma bill delayed them, the committeemen did not get together until 1:45, [Meanwhile Dr. Mary Walker came in tosee Maj. Raymond, but she immediately rushed from the committee room with her hands over her mouth, making complaint against the smoke. When the committee met Chairman Taulbee or Messrs. Rowell and Baker only were pres- en COMMISSIONER WEBB RESUMED THE STAND, Chairman Taulbee handed the witness a copy of the morning Post of December 29, contain- ing what purported to be an interview with the witness. Mr. Webb was asked to read it and state whether he was correctly reported in that interview. “I can't say, Mr. Taulbee,” said Mr. Webb, after he had read the article, “that is exactl what I said. There are some expressions think not exactly correct—those expressions about the agency of Mr. Coxfor the Commis- sioners. Mr. Cox was not an agent at all. The expression I made use of that I asked Mr. Cox to assist us expresses more distinctly the rela- tion he bore to the Commissioners, He was notanagent. IfI used the term agency I used it inadvertently.” Mr. Taulbee having called attention to other sentences in the in- terview, Mr. Webb said, “I did not mean that Mr Cox was the agent of the Commissioners.” “EMPLOYED” SYNONYMOUS WITH “‘ENGAGED.” Mr. Taulbee asked if Mr. Webb used the word “employed,” as he was reported to have done, what he meant by that. “TI used it,” said Mr. Webb, “as synonymous with engaging. I did not mean that I had employed him in the strict sense—that he was to receive pay.” Mr. Taulbee asked if he meant he had desig- nated Mr. Cox, and Mr. Webb said he had; he had requested him to assist the Commissioners. He was examined at some further length as to his understanding about Mr. Cox’s compensa- tion, “I did not suppose,” he said, “Mr. Cox was working for nothin; sked Mr. Taulbee, ‘how he was to be compensated?” “I had no idea about it at all—how he was to be compensated,” said Mr. Webb. “‘Isupposed he would get some compensation either from the owners of property or by sharing commis- sions, and that in some cases he would perhaps not getany at all.” § Mr. Webb was examined then as to the pur- chase of the 5th street school site. He said that Mr. West had submitted this with other plots, at the same time a lot on 4th street was submitted by Judge Vinson. It was owned by Judge Vinson’s wife. Judge Vinson was uncertain about the price he wanted, but finally fixed it at $5,000. He said aiterward he would have taken less if he had had time to consult his wife, who lived in Rockville, but the Commis- sioners could not wait for that. Mr. Taulbee hi ig been called from the committee-room, Mr. Rowell continued the ex- amination. Mr. Rowell asked: If the immediate transfer showed that the property had changed hands just before it was conveyed to the District whether Mr. Webb would not have thonght there was some SPECULATION AT THE EXPENSE OF THE DISTRICT? Mr. Webb said he did not think that that fact would necessarily have excited his suspicion, He might have thought that it was a transfer made to complete or perfect an old sale. “Did you ever have information,” asked Mr. Rowell, “causing you to believe that Mr. Cox was making more than the usual commissions?” “No, sir.” “Ifit had come to your ears that Mr. Cox had received $500 where the ordinary commis- sion would be but $200 would you not have in- quired whether the District’ was not paying more for the property so as to allow Mr. Cox this large commission” “I should have thought,” said Mr. Webb, “that it might be well for me to have some talk with Mr. Cox and find out how it was. I suould look to see whether the property had been advanced in price on this account. If we had been paying a fair market price for the propert lo not think I could have thought much about the amount Mr. Cox received.” Mr. Webb was asked what he would have thought if he had known that Mr. Cox was buying on his own account and selling to the District. “Well,” said Mr. Webb, “I shouldn’t have liked the transaction at all.” “Well,” pursued Mr. Rowell, “suppose you knew he was receiving commissions twice as much as are ordinarily charged and did not let the District know?” “As said before,” said Mr. Webb, “if I were satisfied that with the price that it was a fair market price, and the parties selling chose to reward him with Targe commissions, I don’t know that it would have interfered at all with the relations we held. I don’t know that that was the case, however, in any in- stance.” Mr. Webb was asked whether, considering the number of employes about him, there was any need OF EMPLOYING AN OUTSIDER, “TI did not know any one about me thatI could employ,” said Mr. Webb. He said he could not use the services of the building in- spector because he was too well known asa District official. Mr. Webb was satisfied that the method fol- lowed of purchasing sites was the best. He believed under the proposed plan of condemn- ing property the sites would cost 20 or 25 per cent more, Mr. Davis also examined Mr. Webb at some length, going over again the practices of the office concerning the purchases of real estate. Mr. Davis having referred to the statement concerning Mr. Cox’s relationship’ to Mr. Wheatley, Mr. Webb said Mr. Cox was spoken to by him about this business before Mr. Wheatley became Commissioner. He said that he knew nothing about this re- lationship until Mr. Cox spoke of it. Sea dabrom sear WASHINGTON NEWS AND GOSSIP. Jvpce Merrick Improvixc.—Judge Merrick still continues to improve.

WHAT ENGLISH PAPERS HAVE TO SAY REGARD- ING THE SAMOAN COMPLICATIONS. By the Commercial Cable to the N. Y. Herald. The Herald's European edition publishes to- day the following, dated February 1, 1889: ‘This morning's Standard, in the course of a Jong editorial on the Samoan question, says: “Prince Bismarck is not hkely to court a quar- rel with the United States for the earnest sincerity tests made at Wi ton in this of ing exigencies uncom- can be invoke: dence with Berlin he has made hismeaning ‘exceedingly clear. ‘The ‘Unwed States will not tolerate attempt to subvert the independence of the tameon “Surely it is time that the cooler head of the should overrule the flimsy arrogance of his cubeetinates fA, He pipes make the tations of the United States a retirement from conflict on it was s mistake to enter, and which it prosecute!” LIBERAL VIEW. commenting on the same some room for with which i t s 4 8 Hl MR. WEBB’S NOMINATION. No Action Taken by the Senate District Committee—Bills Considered. ‘There was quite a little crowd of interested @itizens in the vicinity of the room of the Senate District committee this morning. Most of them were there be- cause they had somehow or other understood that the committee was going to give public hearing to those who wanted to say a few words as to the nomination of Com- missioner Webb. They were very much disappointed when they learned that the committee was not going to do what they sup- posed it was going todo. Some of them were prepared to make argument in opposition to confirmation, but their services were not called into juisition. Several of the Senators expected that Mr. Webb would have put in an appearance to make personal answer to the c! 8 which have been filed against him, but Mr. Webb did not materialize and the committee nif¥ hav: to be satisfied with the letter of explan: which Mr. Webb sent it. In the committee the nomination was not even mentioned. Those democrats who were interested did not care to say anything about it just at present; they will at least wait until the louse ae committee closes its investiga- tion and makes a report. The republican Sena- tors said nothing, and the probabilities are all in favor of their continuing to say nothin, until President Harrison sends in the name o’ a nominee to take the place legally vacated by Mr. Webb when his term of ice expired it December last. The determination to abstain from re; cine | Mr. Webb's nomination is, as yet, BILLS CONSIDERED. The committee considered the Senete bill, as amended by the House, to provide for an extension of the period in which drawback certificates may be received. It was ordered to be reported by Mr. Chace with a recom- mendation that the House amendments be con- the Senate company its cars to extend its tracks and thereon through and along the following- ran named streets: Beginning at the intersection of New York avenue and 5th street northwest, south along 5th street northwest to E street northwest, west along E street northwest to 14th street northwest, north along Ith. street northwest to F street northwest, and thence west along F street to the east line of 15th street northwest. THE WIRES OR CABLES used to propel the cars must be placed under- ground, and wherever the route proposed coin- cides with the line of an existing company both companies are to use the same track. An amendment was adopted which provides that there no obstruction to traffic by the lengthy stoppage of cars or the erection of an electric station at the 15th street terminus. Senator Harris will inquire into the company’s plans as to this terminus before he reports the bill. mere Faulkner was authorized to report the bill sanitary engineer for the District. The meas- ure was amended by reducing the salary from €3,000 to $2.50 and by allowing the Commis- sioners of the District to make the appoint- ment. In the original bill the appomting power was vested entirely in the President of the United States, A large delegation, headed by Dr. Godding, Sam’! Norment, Judge Blackburn, Jas. L.
