Grand Army Sentiment on Several Issues of the Day. Smamoxry, Pa., Feb. 12—The morning ses- sion of the state encampment of the Grand Army of the Republic was called to order at 10 o'clock, The committee on resolutions pre- sented its report. The resolutions which were passed by Post 88, Allegheny City, were severely condemned. They had been construed as an endorsement of Gov, Beaver in a political man- ner. Post 83 showed that the matter had been misunderstood and that their actions were as citizens and not as membersof the Grand Army, Beaver not being governor nor a mem- ber of the Gettysburg association at the time the resolutions were — Aseries of resolutions were then adopted condemying the attempt of southern Senators to remove the negroes from the south. James , colored. spoke on the subject, his re- marks ‘being directed principally to Senator Butler.

After the installation of Commander. Denniston the encampment adjourned until 2 p.m. ssasaneasto lea ENGLAND AND PORTUGAL, Lora Salisbury Explains the Situation As It Is. Loxpox, Feb. 12.—In the house of commons today Sir James Ferguson, under secretrry for foreign affairs, announced that the papers which he would shortly present to parlia- ment would, ina large measure, dispel ren prehension which caused the present hostile feeling of the Portuguese public toward Eng- land. The relations existing between the English and Portuguese governments, he sai were of the most friendly nature. Portu; had suggested that the dispute be aubmitted to arbitration, but England considered arbitration inapplicable to the present controversy. LORD SALISBURY'S EXPLANATION. In the house of lords this evening Lord Salis- bury in replying to an interpellation regarding the Anglo-Portuguese imbrogiio stated that on the 28th of last month he senta dispatch to the Portuguese government informing it that ite subjects were invading disputed territory in South Africa, insulting the British flag and killing Englan lies, before asking for medi- ation. According to the provisions of the treaty of Berlin Lord salisbury declared Portugal could not claim mediation now. The war prepara- tions that Portugal was now making, he added, were explained by the tone of the Portuguese correspondence. —— She Shot Her Goose.

The prisoner was remanded. gal nde -netaiadee Mr. Gladstone on Portugal. Loxpon, Feb. 12—The address in reply to the queen's speech being moved, Mr. Gladstone said that he regretted that England had come in conflict with her old ally, J —— but the case was one for action and it was better that the action should be prompt.

MORGAN AND DORCHESTER, Opposition to Confirming Them—Gen. * Morgan’s Military Record Attacked. ‘The Senate yesterday took up in secret ses- sion the nomination of Thos. J. Morgan to be Indian commissioner and debated it for an hour and a half without coming to a vote. ‘The nomination of Dr. Dorchester to be super- intendent of Indian schools was discussed inci- dentally, as Dr. Dorchester and Gen. Morgan were associated in some of the charges made against the latter. Senator Jones of Arkansas took the floor first and made a long speech aimed at the military record of Gen. Morgan. It wascharged before the committee on Indian affairs that Gen. Mor- gan had been court-martialed and§ dismissed from the army and that he had maliciagsly caused the court-martialing of a subordinate Officer for cowardice. Senator Vest, who followed Senator Jones in opposing the nomination, paid more attention to the c! e that Comniissioner Morgan aud Superintendent Dorchester had discriminated against olics in makmmg removals and aj pointments, At the conclusion of Mr. Vest's remarks the Senate adjor with the under- standing — the nomination ye + up today an ae disposed con- pera likely now that both Ata meeting yesterday at St, Paal’s church, ; B itimore, of Protestant Episcopal clergymen of this diocese, Bishop Paret delivered acharge to the which he said: “We BALLOT-BOX SENSATION. ‘Wood Says He and Foraker and Hadden Got Up the Forgeries. “ DISTINGUISHED O10 REPUBLICAR”—GEN. ORosvENOR Sars “THaT’s wE”—a “‘cONSTITU- TIONAL LIAR"—DYNAMITE AND A REVOLVER—A LIVELY GOENE AT THE CLOSE OF THE INQUIRY. Mr. 0. B. Brown of Dayton, Ohio, was the first witness examined before the ballot box forgery committee this morning. In reply to questions by Gov. Foraker, witness stated that on behalf of the board of elections of Dayton he had gone, before the election, to Cincinnati to procure ballot boxes, He had not been able to see Wood, but had called at his house and had met Mrs. Wood. She hed advised him to telegraph to T. O. Campbell in New York. She had also asked witness to let her know how many boxes he ordered, as she had no confi- dence in Mr. Campbell, Witness did not order the boxes. wap sem a. rtp hg thternage—om stated that he was who, . Foraker’s had given 6200 to Wood on October 8, iso He had seen Mr. Hadden the same day and that gentleman had told him that he bad seen the oe (the forged document), This was some ys before the retraction. @EN. GROSVENOR SWORN. At the request of Gov. Foraker Gen. Gros- venor was sworn. Gov. Foraker asked the wit- ness if he had any objection to the publication of a letter written by himself, from which Mr. Haletead read extracta while on the stand. Gen. Grosvenor replied that he had no objec- tion to allowing the letter to be printed in and proceeded to read it. The letter stated fogs raph eaderoe (the —— had made uP mun 1e beginning Ol campaign contribute more votes to Foraker than any other man end that no man _ was more anxious to help Foraker than himeelf. “From here on,” the letter said, “I shall make it more agreeable tor Foraker and more dis- agreeable for the crowd that surrounds Camp- bell.” The letter also stated that if Mr. Cam: bell had not introduced the bill a very di tinguished Ohio republican would have intro- duced it. A postscript appended to the letter stated that Mr. Jenni of the Athens + Gaeat fe: » had told the writer that mpbell had $5,000 in the ballot box scheme. “If this is so,” said Gen. Grosvenor, ‘the scheme is a corrupt one.” “TmaT’s “mE.” Gov. Foraker asked Gen. Grosvenor whom he meant by a very distinguished Ohio republi- can, and the witness caused a laugh by eaying “That's me.” He had given himself the title joking) just as Mr. called himself oon al a dior, Gov. Foraker—There never was any kind of anallusion made in Ohio tothe ballot box matter until I made my Music hall See the night of the 28th, was there? The witness said that in his reference in the letter to the repub- licans with whom he had talked and who were afraid to support the measure openly he did not mean republican members of Congress, but Ohio republicans, He had no particular per- son in mind when he wrote the sentence, TRUST IN ME, CHARLEY, AND I WILL STAND BY YOU. Gov. Foraker—Do you remember getting a dispatch in October reading like this: ‘Trust in me, Charley, and I will stand by you?” Gen. Grosvenor—From whom? Gov. Foraker—Never mind who from. Gen. Grosvenor—No, sir; Ihave no recol- lection of anything of the sort. It is not a very fair way to treat a witness either. If you have any information you should say who from. I think you got your information from SOME CONSTITUTIONAL LIAR. Gov. Foraker—I have got most of my in- formation from you. In reply to Representative Turner Gen. Gros- venor said that he had told Jennings that he would bet a hundred dollars Campbell had no corrupt interest in the ballot box. Jennings then said that Foraker had positive proof that Campbell was interested and it was on that statement he appended in his postscript. GOV. FORAKER'S PRIVATE SECRETARY. Charles L. Kurtz, secretary toGov. Foraker, testified that September 30, the morning after the Music hall speech, he held a conversation ofa eck ron. Sapient with Col. A. C. Sands of Cincinnati in the governor’s office. He could not tell the exact words, but could give the substance of it, There were probably twelve or fifteen people seated around the outer room, one of whom was Sands, who jumped up quickly and seemed anxious to speak to him. fe said that he had read the speech and that it was a cracker. He talked in a way that impressed witness with a belef that he knew fully of all that was back of the bill. He said, in substance, that there was a contract back of that bill; that he him- self had been called to Washington. having been sent here to see certain Congressmen in behalf of the bill, Sands told him that Camp- bell (the present governor) had twice gone to see the President about the bill. Witness asked him for what. Col, Sands replied that it was TO GET THE PRESIDENT TO HELP HIM, Witness said, “This is remarkable,” and asked Sands if Campbell wanted to get the President to sign the bill. Sands said no, no; they were not worried about that, They had not got that far along. The effort with the President was to get certain demo- cratic leadera to abandon the discussion over the tariff bill long enough to secure consi tion for the ballot box bill. Mr. Sands went on to say,in answer to witness’ questi: that leading men in Congress were inter- ested in the bill and had signed the contract, Leading politicians and Congressmen from Ohio, he said, had signed the contract, and went on to express his opinion about what would follow if this thing all came out. Sands said that republicans at the top round of the ladder were interested in this bill and in the contract. Sands added, with emphasis, “Yes, up at the top round of the ladder in Ohio politics.” SANDS A LOBBYIST. Congressman Mason asked a number of ques- tions about Mr. Sands’ business, finally inquir- Ing if lobbying was nota part of his occupa- tion, and witness replied that that was the gen- eral understanding. Sands’ statement im- ressed witness with the genuineness of the Banos box paper, and when he gave the bal- lot box paper to Amos Smith to carry to Hal- stead he told him of the talk with San “DYNAMITE AND A REVOLVER.” Gen. Grosvenor having asked Mr. Kurtz if he gave Amory Smith anything at the time he handed the ballot box paper, and the witness astonished some of those present by saying ‘a revolver.” . Representative Turner—The paper itself was dynamite, (Laughter. Gen. Grosvenor—Did Smith say where he was going to carry the paper? Witness—Well, he settled upon the inside of his drawers, well down. Amory Smith had aaid that it was a very valuable paper, and he expressing some misspprehension, witness had given him the pistol and the two had come to an understanding as to where to look for the paper in case a railroad or any other kind of accident happened to him (Smith). GOV. FORAKER then resumed the stand for the purpose of making an explanation of various matters which had been spoken of in the course of the investigation, Among other things which had impressed the governor with the genuineness of the ballot x pe r was the difference between the Camp! and the Hoar ballot box bills. The Campbell bill direc! the Attorney General to pur- chase a particular box, while Senator Hoar's bill provides for a commission to exam- ine all ballot boxes and report upon the best, ‘There was a wide difference between the two boxes, and it im 1d him the'more because of what he had about “business behind the bill,” as it has been expressed. A SENSATION. Quite a scene occurred later. Mr. Wood was on the stand and made the statement, in sub- LS € LEGISLATION IN EMBRYO. Subjects of Interest Considered in Capi- tol Committee Rooms. A strong effort is being made to de-| nernovemexts feat the Blair educational bill in the Senate. It is claimed that enough votes are now secured against it to defeat it. The opposition is more active in the Senate than it bas ever been before, for the reason that if it should get through there and come over to the House it would be almost certain to become a law.

SENATOR EDMUNDS ILL. Senator Edmunds did not attend the meeting of the Senate committee on foreign relations this morning. He has not been at the Capitol since the day when he stated in the secret ses- sion of the Senate that he intended to resign his place on the committee on foreign relations. Senator Sherman, the chairman of the committee,went to Senator Edmunds’ com- mittee room this morning to see if he was at the Capitol and to urge him to attend the com- mittee meeting and forget his words of last week, but he was informed that Mr. Edmunds was confined to his home by illness and would probably not be at the Capitol today.

Friends warned | 4. him of,the threatening anger of the mob, and at dinner time he was leaving the building when a man named McDonald, who had always been his friend, began to question him and then struck him in the face with a whip.

THE BIG REAL ESTATE DEAL THE PRESSURE FOR PLACE. LIKELY TO BE MADE—THE TALE ABOUT THE RECENT TRANSACTIONS—LARGR PURCHASES MADE IN THE VICINITY OF THR TEXLETTOWN ROAD. “T believe that Washington will have a great future.” The speaker was Mr. F. G. Newlands, who, as stated in Tux Stan, is the repre- sentative of the syndicate which has made extensive purchases of real evtate along the line of Connecticut avenue extended. It is his confidence in the future growth of the capital city that induced him to go into an enterprise demanding such a large outlay of money. Mr. Newlands, as well as | the those associated with him, believe that they have purchased property along the line of the city’s growth, The details of these large transactions, as given in yesterday's Stan, were read with great interest and gave additional impetus to the talk which has prevailed in real estate circles on this subject, ‘THE SHARON ESTATE. Mr. Newlands, as the representative of the Sharon estate, is familiar with Washington Property. The late ex-Senator Sharon left large interests in this city, and while a Cea deal has been sold since his death estate is still a large real estate owner in this District. Mr. Newlands has in- his interests here to his agents, Thos. J, Fisher & Co., and has made ‘occassional visite to this city. He expects to be here now for some wi until at least he has closed up the transactions in the Connecticut avenue pro) , and after the present year he will probably spend more time in this city than he has done in the past, PLANS FOR IMPROVEMENT. Among his plans for the improvement of his Property he is considering the advisability of building a large apartment house, which will be located in the northwestern Portion of the city near Dupont circle. Designs for euch a building have al- ready been prepared and itis probable, Mr. Newlands thinks, that building operations will soon be begun, Mr. Newlands is a young man, but he has western push andenterprise and is quick to see and as quick to act, if his plans are carried out in relation to the recentayndicate purchase there is no doubt but that a cable road will be run out to the District line along Connecticut avenue extended. This railroad will allel, however, at some distance, the Tenleytown electric road, which will run out to the District line. OTHER LARGE TRANSFERS, At this latter point is the scene of the exten- sive operations of another syndicate. They have purchased altogether 425 acres of land lying on cach side of the Ten- leytown road at the terminus of theelectric railroad. Mr. John E. Beall has purchased the farm known as Belmont, ry roperty of Mr. R. H. Wolds- borongh. It contains 125 acres, In con- nection with Dr. Ralph Walsh Mr. Beall has purchased the Mason farm, con- taining 192 acres, This latter property adjoins the country residence of Gen. Dunn and was owned recently by Mr. C, ©. Glover and others. The purchase of the Heath Dodge farm of 135 acres, with several smaller pieces of property, comprises all the transactions of the syndicate in that — Mr. Richard H.

The Amount Young Watson ts Said to Have Obtained by Forgery. James M. Watson, the clever young forger who was recently arrested on complaint of Dr. A. P. Fardon, was taken to the Police Court this morning. An investigation of his transactions shows that he succeeded in obtaining €2,279.65.

When taken in cust by Private Detective Williams last Friday the boy was armed with a onee revolver and wore a gold watch and chain, The prisoner was a1 on a charge of forging Dr, Fardon’s name to a check for $350 and getting it cashed at the Columbia national bank. He plead guilty to the charge and wax grand jury. Bail was fixed at $1,000. Mr. C. Maurice Smith. counsel for Watson, afterward appeared and changed the record, The plea of guilty was withdrawn and counsel waived an examination. —_— JUDGE MILLER’S INDIGNATION. He Lectures Policemen Sharply for Sending Small Boys to Buy Liquor. Today in the Police Court Judge Miller taid down the law relating to s portion of the whisky law in severe terms for the benefit of members of the police force, His remarks were made in the case of Henry Edwards, a colored saloon keeper, who was charged with selling liquor to minors, Policemen Passan and Mulloy had charge of thecaseand three small colored boys appeared as witnesses. Officer Mulloy appeared with two bottles of some sort of in- toxicating liquor, and testified that he over- heard the boys talking about where they could get a drink, and he gave them money and sent them in the defendant's place. JUDGE MILLER SAID he did not want to hear any further proof. “Suppose these boys should become drunkards from this time,” said Judge Miller,-who would be responsible? Here's a representative of the District who gives them money and sends them in the saloon and then the District sanctions that action by presenting the case in court.” Continuing, the judge said: “The law is not to punish the saloon’ keepers, but to prevent chil- dren from drinking and becoming drunkards. The remedy in this case is far worse than the disease. These boys get liquor and go out in the woods to drink because they know it is wrong, and here comes in a blue coat and brass buttons to virtually indorse them in their drinking. This case is dismissed and I don't want any more such cases brought here as long asI am bolting this court.” Mr. Oscar Nauck appeared for the defend- ant, ees A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. Caused by a False Alarm of Fire at the Government Printing Office. This afternoon about 1:30 o'clock the em- ployes at the government printing office were startled by an alarm of fire. Wm, Fletcher, the fireman,was in the engine room at the time and ran to turn on the hydraulic pump which supplies the building with water. He had just succeeded in turning on the first valve when the large copper air cylinder at the top burst, striking him in the face and seriously injuring him, The police ambulance was summoned and he was taken to his home and medical attendance sum- moned. An examination proved that there was no fire and that the alarm was the work of some mischievious person. An investiga- tion has been ordered, and the guilty party if discovered will be dismissed at once. sect restates Larceny Cases in the Police Court.
