Teesrams to The Sit THE WEST VIRGINIA MUDDLE. Some Democrats Say Kenna was Not | P’ Nominated by a Caucus. ‘Special Dispatch to Tux Eventve S1aR, Cuartestox, W. Va., Feb. 6.—Once moré legislative matters have assumed a lively aspect. The dull routine work of balloting for United States Senator and adjourning has been changed from thé fact that another Rich- mond is in the field, and that several of those who have been voting for Kenna have refused to do so any longer. Kenna could have been elected at any time with the vote of Dorr, of Webster, but Dorr has persistently refused to vote for him under any circumstances, and on Monday made a public statement to that effect, and gave his reasons at length therefor. OREATING A SENSATION. Yosterday the balloting progressed as usual Hecreated aensation as he proceeded toexplain his position and to protest against being termed until the name of Senator Van Pelt was called. a “kicker” because he saw fit to vote against the nominee of a conference, which he de- clared was not a caucus, and the action of which he said did not bind anyone unless they saw fit to abide by it. He pointed out the folly and danger of a minority nominating a man and taking the position that the nominee should be sustained. He stated as his opinion that two yearsago Johnson N. Camden would have been elected United States Senator had not the so-called caucus—a caucus that | could not eleat—persisted in designating him a caucus nominee. He stated that he had no feeling toward Senator Kenna, and that if at any time his vote would elect him or any other representative democrat it would be so cast. When he had concluded he cast his vote for Henry 8. Walker. Delegate Shankin also withdrew his ho! gor from Kenna, When the roll was called Goff re- ceived 43; Kenna, 41; Pierson, 3; Hereford, 2, and Henry 8. Walker and E. W. Wilson 1 each. A NEW CANDIDATE FOR SENATOR. President of the Senate Carr has personally announced his candidacy for the senatorsh'p, and, as he can hold the three labor votes, he can at least prevent the election of ion | one else unless a number of republicans can be in- duced to vote for a democrat, or vice versa, which is hardly possible. Two of the three labor men are democrats and one republican. A CHANGE OF PROGRAM POSSIBLE. To-day the first balloting under the new or- der of things will begin, and it remains to be seen how Kenna will hold out. The “kicking” democrats claim that Kenna has never been Vv HaT!

The witness Beach, who is also known as Dr. Le Caron, cont his evidence, He de- tailed a conversation which he had hange of representatives on this side water, which would be Conlempiatod mating, ea cont te of allowing Mr. Parnell doing so would place Mr. sition, Mr. Sullivan bitterly opposed the di: cussion of this matter in open convention, on the ground that it would leak out and com- promise the Parnellite party. Witness stated that a conference of the “F. C.” was held on August 3, 1881. The meeting discussed preparations for ite operations and recommended the formation of classes in mining engineering. At this point Attorney General Webster for the Times read a financial document including an item for the subsidizing of foreign newepap- ers, Witness said Mr. John O'Connor, an agent employed for carrying arms to Ireland, at- tended thie convention asa representative of the supreme council of the Irish republican brotherhood, The witness, continuing, stated that Breslin was paid for building a submarine torpedo boat which — to be a failure. Another firm built a boat which lay on the New Jersey side of New York harbor four months but was not used ay t British ships, Sir Charles Russell, of counsel for the Par- nellites, objected to the Carag ar the wit- | ness of the statement made b; f O'Connor, Presiding Justice Hannen said: “We are of | the opinion that there is prima facie evidence that O'Connor was the medium of communica- tion between members of the organization in Ireland and America.” Sir Charles Russell pursued his objection, and the witness, interposing, said he did not ee that Mr. Parnell would deny that he had had the conversation referred to. ‘The wituess, continuing, said that the con- yersation with O'Connor took place in the Palmer house fn the presence of two others, O'Connor, in reply to witness’ question as to how the matter stood assured him that it was all satisfactory, The witness said that he saw Mackay and et two days before Lomasney left America for the purpose of caarying out the plan of — campaign by — explosions, the details 0} which the wit- ness could not give. Lomasney never returned, and the organization had ever since supported his family and father. Witness be- lieved that Lomasney and his brother, Michael*| Lomasney, perished in the London bridge ex- plosion. ‘The witness said that in compliance with in- structions from headquarters he attended the Chicago convention. ‘. P. O'Connor and Tim Healy also attended. Rev. Mr. Betts was proposed for president of the conven- tion, but the clerical element represented the moral suasion section objected to him. Betts belonged to the aggressive party. At the di- rect request of OConnor this ‘objection was Withdrawn, and Betts unanimously elected. Several priests who approved a dynamite policy attended the convention. Attorney-General Webster here quoted from the Jrish Nation extracts of a specch made in the convention by an Irish delegate, Father Sheeny, who advocated the abolition of land- lordism and said he would give no quarter in ireland until the country was nationally inde- pendent. The speech was delivered on Janu- ary 3, 1832. and O'Connor and Healy were pres- ent at the time, The witness said he had received from the directory « circular giving a report of the pro- ceedings of the convention. This circular stated that the doctrine which the convention had adopted was that a people living under an unnatural government and wishing to be under anatural one were entitled to overthrow the unnatural government and establish a natural government in its place. It was at this point that Mr. Parnell appeared in the court-room., His entrance created a sensation, The witness looked steadily at Par- neil for several minutes. Continuing his testimony, witness aaid that he sent copies of all documents of the brother- hood to the English government at the time, Since then they had not been in his possession, ee The Tariff on Ready-Made Clothing.

HILL’S VISIT. Democratic Representatives Paying Respects—The President and Governor. Not more than one-sixth of the democrats were in the House to-day. The rest were off paying their respects to Gov. Hill. The demo- cratic side of the House seemed almost va- cant, OLEVELAND AND HILL. There was some talk at the capitol about the way Hill and Cleveland appear to avoid each other. When Mr. Cleveland went to New York ii paign, it happened at atime poy oii had an engagement elsewhere, and could not be on the reviewing stand with the President. It is regarded as A LITTLE CURIOUS that on the occasion of Mr. Hill's visit to Wash- ington the President and Mrs. Cleveland should suddenly find it necessary to go to New York. The ident and the governor met at dinner last passarney but the latter did not call at the White House. He called on Mr. Randall, wi he designates as the “greatest democrat.” GOV.

THE INAUGURAL POLICE. How the Four Hundred Specials will be Appointed. The passage by the House last evening of the Senate bill providing for an extra force of Police and other police arrangements at inaug- uration, will enable Maj. Moore, as he believes, to perform the hitherto impossible task of keeping the Avenue clear. Already there are on file at headquarters many applications for positions as special policemen under the act, The text of the bill, which now needs only the President's signature to become a law, is as follows: “Eight thousand five hundred dollars, or as much thereof as may be necessary, payable from any money in the Treasury not other- wise appropriated and from the revenues of the Distaict of Columbia, in equal parts, is hereby appropriated out of any money in the Treasury not otherwise pRpro ited, to en- able the Commissioners of the District of Co- lumbia to maintain public order and protect life and property, from the 28th of February to the 9th of March, 1889, both inclusive, id Commissioners are hereby authorized and di- rected to make all reasonable regulations neces- sary to secure the preservation of public order and protection of life and property, and fixing fares by public conveyances during said pe- riod. Any person violating any such regula- tions shall be liable for each such offense to a fine not to exceed $25,in the Police Court of said District.” This bill, it is claimed at police headquar- ters, gives ample authority for keeping people within the curb line duri the progress of the inaugural procession, lajor Moore pro- poses to get men of the best character possible for this extra police force. Their employment will begin March 2 and continue five days. In order to secure men of good character he has decided to fix their compensation at $2.50 a day. The 23 pes as they come in will go to the police lieutenants in the various pre- cincts. These lieutenants will examine the applicants and inquire as to their character. The names of those approved and vouched for by the lieutenants will be sent to police headquarters and from this list will be chosen the 400 who will be invested by police powers by the Commissioners and adorned with badges and batons, There is already a large number of additional privates and special watchmen in the city who have had sorme po- lice experience, and from this number it is robable many’ inaugural policemen will be drawn. When the 400 appointments are made Mr. Sylvester, the secretary of the police department, ‘will go to’ station houses and swear the men in_ in platoons, The new men will be put under command of sergeants and at once begin police duty. The regular police force will be concentrated in the central parts of the city and about the principal thoroughfares, while the new and green “specials” will patrol the outlying dis- tricts. ee een, NICARAGUAN CANAL BILL. IN THE HOUSE THIS AFTERNOON, AFTER THE RE- PORT IN THE FIRST EDITION CLOSED. Mr. Dingley, of Maine, said he would regard it as unfortunate if, by putting on unesseutial | amendments, it would defeat the attempt to grant the charter, because it seemed to him that now was THE GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY for the construction of the canal, He would like the canal to be constructed by government, but he knew that Congress would not make appropriations adequated to carry out the enterprise. It must be con- structed by private ced Boe It would be constructed at an early day. If this effort to secure a charter was not successful. it would be constructed by a private com- pany which would be, if not under the patronage, under the influence of some _ foreign overnment. In view af the character of the enterprise it was a very unfortunate time for congress in granting a charter to insist upon such restrictions as in all probability would make the charter useless, WHAT MR, BUCKALEW COULDN'T FIND IN THE BILL. Mr. Buckalew, of Pennsylvania, said that he could not discover in the bill any clear guaran- tee that the amount of stock and bonds to be issued would not be 2, 3 or 4 times the actual cost of the work. If the polders of stock or bonds were to receive dividends and interests, the commerce of the world might be subjected to most | unreasonable and unjust —_ charges, He — thought that the bill should go back to conference in order that this defect might be remedied. Mr. O'Neill (Mo.) said that he was receipt of many telegrams from rominent men in St. Louis in favor of the bill. He had no extreme sensi- tiveness concerning the bondholders, He did not believe that Congress was called upon to worry itself as to whether the bondholder was goin to strike magnificent returns or to strike AN IRISH DIVIDEND. occasionally in the shape of an assessment, in (Laughter).

A Proposed Compromise on the Springer ~ Omnibus Bil THE HOUSR CONFEREES WILL YIELD TO THE DE- MANDS OF THR GENATR CONDITIONALLT—A ‘BILL TO ADMIT ARIZONA, IDAHO, AND WYOMING. There is « determination on the part of a ‘aumber of democrats in the House that the ad- mission of some of the territories shall be ac- complished before the term of this Congress expires. The conferees on the Springer omni- bus bill are at work. While they have not reached the point of an agreement, it is ex- pected that they will through the yielding of the House conferees, It is likely that THE HOUSE CONFEREES WILL YIELD TO ALL the demands of the Senate,provided the states to be admitted come in on the one bill, The method of consideration adopted in conference points to this solution of the problem, New Mexico will doubtless go out, and the admission of South Dakota and the other territories will be by the more direct method of the Senate. If the Senate will then agree that the three territories come in under one bill, the thing will probably be accomplished.

The Senate committee on public buildings and grounds will meet to-morrow morning at 10:30 to continue the Freret investigation, WANT SILVER MADE EQUAL TO GOLD. Senator Stewart to-day introduced a petition from sixty-three citizens of the state of Vir- ginia in which the attention of Congress is called “to the great depression existing among the farmers of the country, which is shown in the general decline in the value of farms and of our great staple productions. Believing that this decline of prosperity is largely caused by the undervaluation of silver, which has fostered the com- etition ‘of India with us, with her low-priced labor in the great markets of the world, therefore we ask that silver be restored to its time-honored place as a coequal measure of values with gold by such legislation as your wisdom may provide; also, that due provision be made against any contraction of the volume of our present valued paper currency.” —<—<——— The Lights Went Out. Henry Hall, the brilliant young member from Mercer, says Harrisburg letter to the Pittsburg Dispatch, tells this story of his cam- paigning in Indiana: Arriving at a town in which he was engaged to speak, he learned that owing to a mistake he was billed for the next night.

The ininers were discussing vari- ous things, but when they found that foreign speaker was at their door they in- vited him in, and in he went. He was tintroduced as “The Boy Miner,” al- though he was never in a mine in his life. He was in for it, however, and he started in with a red-hot republican speech, It dismayed the democrats in the audience, and they quickly sent for Michael Sullivan, the democratic boss, and Mike arrivedas the speaker was in the midst of a beautiful flight of rhetoric. Mike advanced to the center of the room, and breaking in on the speaker, asked: “Phwat the divil does this mane?” “Sit down,” said Hall. “But I want to know,” persisted Mike. “Sit down,” said Hall, You will have your chance to speak.” “Yes,” said Mike, “an’ thrue for yez, I'll sphake me say, and yez'll hear from me.” “That's all right.” said Hall, and he went on with his speech, which set the miners wild. He | dwelt on the benefits of protection and was cheered. As he neared the close of his speech | he whispered to a republican friend who sat on | the platform. ‘The republican friend circulated | through the audience. Presently the astute Hall | finished in a blaze of glory, there was a mighty | cheer went up. and in an instant every light went out, and Michael Sullivan found himself hustled down stairs bofore he had time tocatch his breath. The meeting had adjourned and Mike didn’t have a chance to say his say. ‘That town went republican for the first time in its history, and Mike Sullivan’s power was broken. —____+e2___ Found by a Pretty Girl.

An important real estate sale has just been effected, Ex-Senator Joshua Hill, of Georgia, has sold, through his agents, Thomas J. Fisher & Co., the unimproved ground on the east side of Connecticut avenue, between N street and Dupont circle. The esle was made in con- janction with Messrs. Fitch, Fox & Brown, to Alexander Graham Bell and his cousin, Charles J. Bell, The former secures a lot having a frontage of 75 feet on Connecticut avenue, and the latter a lot of 50 feet frontage. The price paid was $4 per foot. The purchasers are having plans prepared for handsome residences which they propose to build there. The new houses will adjoin the residence of Mr. Fred- erick B.

He was a member of the Senate from 1868 to 1873, and during his latter residence in this city he invested largely in Washington property, and at one time owned the entire square of which the property above referred to isa part. He has seen values advance in that locality during the past fifteen or sixteen years from a few cents to four dollars per square foot, and he retained his interest in real estate here because he was afirm believer in the future of the city.

Judge Merrick’s Successor. HON, JEREMIAH WILSON SUGGESTED—THE SALARY OF THE OFFICE TOO SMALL. In regard to the vacancy on the bench of the Supreme Court of the District, caused by the death of Justice Merrick, there is much conjecture as to whether the Presi- dent will send in nomination, The rovailing sentiment of those who Foow the condition of the business is that he should sendin the name of some one who would be acceptable to the Senate. In this view the name of Hon. Jeremiah Wilson has been suggested, and that gentleman has been sounded, but is not inclined to give up his practice at the bar for ® seat on the bench. “The difti- culty,” said one of the most experienced prac- ticioners to-day, ‘is that the salary will not justify one in active practice taking hoid, espe- cially one im the prime of life. We should have on the bench some not over oe and with such condition of health as would give some assurance of good, longservice. Increase the salaries and then we car obtain younger men.” ——o—_—__. ‘Two Wives Sue for Divorce. TROUBLE IN THE DOWELL AND BURROUGHS FaM- TIES, To-day Messrs, J. W.
