He is extremoly happy. ‘The only regret he has is that the re- publicans had a majority of some eighteen or twenty in his county. He says that there isa possibility—just a possibility—of the election of some of the republican state ticket, but that the legislature like the governorship, is democratic. He attributes the victory largely to the tariff, and says there is practically a revolution in Ohio on that subject, Some of the greatest gains were made by the democrats, he says, where they talked hardly anything but tariff reform to the people. In Cincinnati the demo- cratic gains were among the solid business men. In Akron a gain was made of 1,1 tes on the tariff issue. ct ae wore “Campbell made the finest canvass ever made in the state,” he said, ‘and comes out of the fight as fresh as he went in. On one day, I know, he made five spegches, and good speeches. He made no mistake. He kept cool and acted for himself. He knew of the ballot- box boomerang Halstead was going to throw at him three weeks before the matter becama known to the public and he did not tell even the members of his committee. He simply waited until the proper time came and was ready.” THINES THE DEMOCRATS WILL HOLD OHIO FOR ‘YEARS. “Do you think the victory will be permanent in its effects?” Tur Stan reporter asked. “Yea, the fight is on in the republican party and the democrats will hold the state for years: tocome, Foraker’s friends have their knives sharpened and are going to stab every member of the Sherman faction they can get’a blow at. There is no spirit of conciliation or compro- mise. The Foraker men know that their can- didate was cut and they are going to have re- yenge. It will be war to death between the two factions, There is no doubt that Gros- Yernor and others of Sherman's friends cut under Foraker wherever they could and Foraker knows it. A prominent friend of Foraker’s said to me on the cars as I came to Washington, ‘that every man of the Sherman clique who stuck his head out would have a knife put in bim., ‘They were politically dead in Ohio, he declared, The result of the victory will be that we will gain at least six now mem- bers at the next congressional election, and if Grosvenor or any of Yhose men are uominated they will be defeated. We are liable to carry some of the strongest republican districts. By the present vote we would have elected democrats in five con; sional districts.” ino” he added, “is sure to go democratic "93. KISSES FOR A VOTE. Leedom told a good story of how a young republican was induced to vote for Campbell. A certain democrat who was a great admirer of Campbell had a pretty servant girl A young man was visiting her who was in evel y what he should be except that he wa y ardent republican, The gentleman of the house tried very hard to get him to vote for Campbell, but nothing would induce him to go back on Foraker. Finally the pretty servant girl was induced to take hold of the missionary work, ‘The young man was much iu love with her and bad been long begging tor a kivs. “Tl tell you what,” she said to him one night, “if you will vote for Campbell, I'l give you five kisses.” Her looked at her for a moment. cheeks and red lips 1 eyes burnt int “Done,” he said. “I'll agree.” He got his five kisses—perhaps more than five—and voted the democratic ticket. “That man loves you,” the genticman of the house said to the girl atterward. “Lf he asks you to marry him you should do it, He'll make you a good husband. You should marry him.” The girl blushed. think I will, sir.” THE STATE OF MONTANA. President Harrison Admits the Forty- first State to the Union. Her rosy ked tempting, and her President Harrison signed and issued a pro- clamation at 10:40 o'clock this morning admit- ting Montana tothe Union as astate. The pro- clamation xfter citing the various conditions proposed by act of Congress in the same form as was followed in the Dakota proclamations, says: “And whereas it has been certified to me by the governor of said territory that within the time prescribed by eaid act of Congress, a con- stitution for the proposed state of Montana has been adopted, and that the same, together with two ordinances connected therewith, had been ratified by a majority of the qualitied voters of said proposed state in accordance with the conditions prescribed Ly said act. “And whereas a duly authenticated copy of said constitution ane ordinances; as required by said act, has been received by in “Now, therefore, I, Benjamin Harrison, Presi- dent of the United States of America, do, in accordance with the provisions of the’ act of Congress aforesaid, declare and proclaim the fact that the conditions imposed py Congress on the state of Montaua to entitle that state to admission to the Union have been ratified and accepted, and that the admission of the said state into the Union is now complete. “in testimony whereof I have set my hand and caused thé seal of the United States to be affixed,” &c. PENSION OFFICE REFORMS. Original Claims Will Have the Prefer- erence—No Smoking. Gen. Raum, the commissioner of pensions, in the process of becoming familiar with the business of the office, has gained some inform- ation relative to the character of the pension claims pending before the office. He finds that about half of the entire number are what are known as original cases, namely, the claims of persons who have never received apension, Theremainder are claims for in- crease of pension or a rerating on account of some error or injustice. He has-reached the conclusion that the most important class of these cases is that of the original claims. He thinks that a person who has never received a pension is mote entitled to prompt consideration than one whois already in receipt of apension. It is his inteution, however, to ive all claims a fair and just cousideration, but c proposes to facilitate by all proper means the consideration and disposition of original claims. The working force of the office will be put upon these claims and the move- ment toward adjudication will be hastened. ‘The other class of cases are not to be neglected, but the commissioner is anxious that more time be given tu original cases and that the cases now pending be taken up with more promptness than hus been the case in the past, SMOKING PROHIBITED, An order was posted up in the pension office informing the employes that smoking was pro- hibited in the rooms and halls of the building, ‘This is a part of the regulations which Commis- sioner Raum has recently issued in regard to the care of the building. .

FORAKER’S DEFEAT. Representative Thompson Denies that He Had Any Hand in It. HE SAYS, ON THE CONTRARY, THAT HE WORKED HARD FOR THE WHOLE REPUBLICAN TICKET— THE REPUBLICAN DEFEAT NOT D&E TO TREACH- ERY. Representative Thompson of Ohio has re- turned to the city. A Sram reporter today called his attention to the charges that are being made by some of Foraker’s friends and some of the democrats that he and other Represent- atives who are kuown as friends of Senator Sherman aided in his defeat, “Nothing,” Mr. Thompson said, “could be more unjust tome. The figures will not bear out the charge. I do not think that Gov. For- aker sanctions these statements, but if he does Ihave but to say that he is very unjust. The causes of his defeat may be traced out without charging any Congressman with being false to him. Inever worked harder for any man than I did for Foraker at this election. My speeches were devoted to his iaterest and I worked ali I knew how, He was the object of attack by the other party and to his defense we bent our energies to secure his election, In si district the vote will show that worked hard for him. In one county he gotalarger majority than was given to Harrison last year. In others he ran even with the rest of the ticket. One dem- ocratic county he carried by a majority of two, The only county in my district where he fell behind was that in which his father-in-law lives. “Where he was defeated was in Hamilton county, his home, and in Franklin county, where he has lived a long while. His losses were where he was best known. I worked hard for him and believed to the last that he would be elected. I thought the coun- try vote would come up strong all over the state, as it did in my district. “No one could regret more than I do the de- feat of Gov. Foraker, for it will injure the re- publican party for years to come,” — AT THE CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY. A Busy Time in the Building—The Pro- fessors Moving In.

I looked up and saw the ht about three- quarters of a mile distant. I ordered that one whistle should be blown to signify our inten- tion to pass to the right snd that the wheel should be put port, The ap- siege) steamer answered with ono blast which, in steamboat language, meant “All right.” I noticed, however, that the course did not change, and I called the atten- tion of the two men in the pilot house and of several of the engers to the fact, and that the red light was still showing, and I then had one blast on the whistle again sounded, which signal the other steamer also answered with one blast, and I ordered the wheel hard meas but the stranger continued on her origi course until within a short distance when she sheered and RAN DIRECTLY INTO THE EXCELSIOR, carrying away the port wheel house, all the state rooms at the wheel or the port side and doing other damage. I immediately stopped the boat and examined the damage. I con- cluded it was safe to proceed to Washington, which I did, arriving here about 10:30.” “The other steamer I learned was the Maria Tanner, an English training boat. They low- ered a boat to inquire if any one was burt, I did not learn where she was bound, but con- cluded she was going into Newport News or Lambert's Point after coal” A TESTIMONIAL TO CAPT. DAVIS.

The first amend- ments taken up were those offered by a dele- gate from Great Britain to article 12, relating to sound signals for fog, &c. There were several of these amendments, the first of which was to section A of the article, and pro- vided that a steamship under way in a fog, mist or falling snow, shall make with her steam whistle or other steam sound sigual at inter- vals of not more than two minutes a long blast of about four seconds’ duration, instead of “a prolonged blast.” After some discussion the amendment was agreed to. The second amendment offered to this arti- cle by a delegate from Great Britain pro a new section to the article providing that a steamship not at anchor, but stopped and hav- ing no way upon her, shall sound two long blasts, with an interval of about one second be- tween them. At the suggestion of a delegate from the United States the word “‘such” was inserted before “long,” so as to read “two such long blasts” and in this shape the amendment was adopted. Before taking up the next amendment offered by the delegate from Great Britain Delegate Goodrich of the United States offered an amendment to section C of article 12, providing that a sailing ship in a’ fog shall make with her fog horn the signals provided for in the section at intervals of every minute instead of at every two minutes, as now provided for, Adopted, The third amendment proposed by the dele- gate from Great Britain provided that a steam or sailing ship in a fog wien “‘atauchor” shall ring the bell as now provided. At the motion of Mr. Goodrich of the United States the interval between the ring- ing of the bell was changed to one mfnute, and on his farther motion a phrase was added to the section under consideration, providing that the bell shall be rung rapidly for about five seconds. The amendment then as modified was adopted. The conference then adjourned to meet Mon- day morning at 11 o'clock at Wormley’s hotel, where its sessions will be held in the future, Before procecding with the next amendment Capt. Shackford, delegate from the United Stetes. offered an amendment to article 12, pro- viding that Trans-American steamers running between Europe and America shall be allowed to use a distinctive whistle signal that cannot be mistaken for another to mdicate whether the ship is going east or west, It wiil be here- after considered. —_—___ OPIUM JOINTS AND THE LAW. Two Charges Brought Against Chong Lee, the Chinaman, Chong Lee, the Chinaman whose alleged opium jointat No. 342 Pennsylvania avenue was raidedafew evenings ago by Detectives Horn and Mahon, appeared in the Police Court today with his counsel, Mr. Joseph Shillington, to answer the charges of assault preferred against him, There were four such charges against him, which were sworn to by Detective Horne. The persons charged to have been assaulted were Thomas Lindsey, George H. Jones, Thomas Wyatt and George H. Lee. THE CHARGE OF ASSAULT, growing outof smoking opium, is something new in legal circles, but Mr. Armes expressed the belief that the charges would hold when he made out the informations, It is not claimed that Chong whipped four Americans, but that he permiited them to “hit” the pipe in his place, thereby poisoning und iuflicting other wrongs and injuries on the persons named. When Chong appeared in court he learned that there was suil another greater jainst him. ‘This was sworn out by Detective on and was 4 CHARGE OF “NUISANCE” under the common law. The warrant, which is alengthy one, after referring to the smoking of opium, reads: “There unlawfully and wickedly did receive and entertain for gain — —— — evil disposed persons, great damage common nuisance of ali the good citizens of the Uniéed States, in manifest destruction and corruption of youth and other people in their manners, conversation, morals and estate.” A MOTION To QUASH. ‘The warrant was too much for Chong, but his counsel examined it, and then filed a motion to quash the warrant because, he claimed, that After argument Judze Miller ssid he would grant the motion to quash the warrant. He said that if this case is tried on the war- sault cases tomorrow will be that way. He would not dispose of the motion, t- | however, until the assault cuses were heard. ——————— Aral BEgeeee frit E i it i if ie Hat un FEEDING THE ARMY.
