Clarkson, chairman of the execu- tive committee of the republican committee, arrived in this city last mght. Immediately after reaching here he wont to the Arlington, where he engugeda suite of rooms. From the timo that his arrival in the city became known he was overwhelmed by callers who wanted to talk with him on athonsand and one things. Notwithstanding this fact he found time to dis- cuss the political situation in Washington with a BSran reporter who sext up his card late this afternoon. ‘The statement was made today, apparently upon good authority, that the Carson clement in local re- publicanism acted by the advice of Gen. Clark- son when they called a meeting of the republi- can committee for yesterday morning and that had his eupport in the matter. This Gen. son dented most emphatically in his con creation with the reporter this afternoon. “The statement that 1 was or am back of | either faction tu this ight in Washington is ab- | solutely without foundation,” said the politfeal leader, when the question was put to im point biank ‘by his caller. “I know nothing about the details of the fight beyond what I have scen in print. Ieaw the fuil account of the various mass moctings held ‘Tuesday evening that was given in Tur Stan ening, aud judging by the amount of space that was devoted to them I came to the conclusion that the matter was | of a good deal of local importance in Wash- ington. As to the merite of the fight that seems to be on between the Chase and the Carson fuctions I really know absolutely noth- ing. “Furthermore.” continued the general, on being further questioned by Tue Stax man, “I do not see how the dificulty can bo settled be- fore the national convention m Minneap- olis, When the national committes met in ‘this city a call was issued for the republicans of the District of Columbia to meet and elect their delegates to tho national convention.

So far asIknow the first time the matter will be formaily brought up will be just before tho convention in Minneapolis, when the executive committee is called upon 0 ke up tho roll of the delegate: This will be _ before the report of the credential committee is made, and will be subject to the revision of that com- mittee.

Great amusement was created at the Navy Department today by the appearance of a statement in an out-of-town paper to the effect that the government has purchased the steam- ships Ohio, Indiana, Linois and Pennsylvania, built in Philadelphia some years ago for the American Steamship Company. It was said they were to be used as transports. Such a rumor, say the officials, is absurd on its fuce. The government has no more right to purchase vesels indiscriminately without the specific authority of Congress than the Secretary of Agriculture can borrow a million dollars from the treasury for the pur- chase of breed hogs with which to bull the foreign market. The cases are quite analagous. Asimilar rumor was in circulation a few days ago asserting that the government bad purchased twelve torpedo boats im England. Such an action would also peed congressional consent, So far the only things passed by the House and Senate have been time and a resolution to pay salaries. ———— ‘To Complete the Nayal Observatory, Bids will be ovened on the 234 instant at the Navy Department for the completion of the new naval observatory in this city.

In order to provide against the possibility of a demand for exten- sion of time, the government will give the con- tractors until the lst of June. ——— ‘The Young Lady Was Firm and Won. Pamapenrnta, Jan. 7.—Samuel Ghost and Eva Atwell, aged eighteen and seventeen years, respectively, eloped from near Clintonville, Pa., yesterday and applied at the recorder's office at Franklin for a license. ‘They admitted that they were in a hurry, as Miss Atwell's father was giving them a hotchase. Under the circumstances a license was refused them and they were making preyarations to board a train it | for New York state when the old gentleman . The would-be groom retired to a respectful distance, while the girl and her father argued the matter all over the station platform. The young lady, as pretty as a pic- ture and as stanch as a warrior, declared she would not go home. This emboldened her lover, who stepped up and added that she should not return uniess as Mrs. Ghost. A decision was reached and the father accom- panied them to court, where a license was then gladly issued. pres eee France's Exhibit at the Fair. Panis, Jan. 7.—M.

Hill) had not presented himself. There was very convincing indication, however, in the shape of a large stand of roses on a desk in the rear of the democratic side of the cham- ber that Mr. Hiscock was to be left no longer pining for acolleague. After prayer by the chaplain Mr. Hill entered the chamber. from the cloak room and was soon surrounded “by Senators from both sides welcoming him’ ta his new sceno of public duty. SENATOR HILL swoRY IN. As soon ns the journal was read Mr. Hiscock announced that David B. Hill, Senator-olect from the state of New York, was prosent and prepared to take the oath of office. ‘The Vico President invited Mr. Hill to come forward and take the oath, which he did, under the escort of Mr. Hiscock. When he went back to his seat the grectings and congratulations were re- nowed. PETITIONS PRESENTED. Among the pétitions presented and referred Were several from Oregon and Washington in relation to the lands of the Northern Pacific Railroad Company; several from thelllinoisState Grange in favor of an income tax: of a popular vote for the election of Senators; of free maildaily to farmers; of improved waterways; of free binder twine and against dealing in options. Among the bills reported from committees and placed on the calendar were the following: ‘To authorize the construction of a bridge “aw the Red River of the North at Drayton, To extend the privileges of the transporta- tion of dutiable merchandise to Sandusky, Obio. To establish additional life-saving sta- tions on the const of Oregon. For the con- struction of two revenue cutters for service on the Pacific coust. Among the bills introduced and referred were the following: By Mr. Vance—For a monument to Gen. Greene of the revolutionary army, on tho battlefeld of Guilford, N.C. By Mr. Peffer—For the loan of money to the farmers of Indiana. Ly Mr. Cullom—To regulate commerce car- riod on by telegraph. SENATOR HILL'S COMMITTEES. On motion of Mr. Cockrell he was excused from serving on the committee on immigra- tion, Mr. McPherson from service on the com- mittee on territories, Mr. Colquitt on inter- state commerce and Mr. Voorhees on relations with Canada, and Mr. Hill was appointed to these places. Mr. Gorman was also excuse from service on the committee on relatio with Canada and Mr. Colquitt was appointed iu his place. ‘The resolution offered yesterday by Mr. Morgan instructing the committee on foreign relations to inquire into the condition of the Nicuragua canal was taken up, and was, on motion of Mr. Vest, amended by instrecting the committee to inquire also. what amount of money had been actually expended and for what purpose, and what contracts or other obligations had been made by the company. THE NICARAGUAN CANAI. Mr. Allen addressed the Senate in support of the Nicaragua canal project, stating that his constituents had the most profound interest in itand the deepest solicitude for its success. He had an idea that sufficient provision had not been made in the act to inspect the work and to control the expenditure, but he hoped either that he was not justified in that idea or that the defect would be remedied. MR. MORGAN'S REMARKS. Mr. Morgan expressed his satisfaction at Mr. Vest's amendment being agreed to, because, he said, the friends of the project desired that there should be no misunderstanding at all about rny of its features. It was a very great matter and one of yery serious public con- sideration, ‘ it was onein which no trifling should be submitted to, and uo whitewashing or passing over defects, troubles or difficulties. The eon- dition of the Nicaragua canal at this moment was such that Congress owed it to the country Well us to the canal company that whatever action was to be taken by Congress should be taken as speedily ay a full investigation and free discussion of the circumstances would permit. If Congress was not going to adopt the plan suggested by the committee on foreign relo- tions last session, or some other plan for giving government assistance to the project, it was gue to the company and to the people that Congress should get out of the way and let the company go and build its canal without inter. ference. Ifthe matter had to be postponed in deference tothe doubts of public opinion, letit, hesaid, be postponed 40 tar as Congroxs was coheerned, and let reliance be placed on the subinnity of duck to get control of the canal hereaiter which the United States was bound to have as the ruling power on this hemisphere, THE PROJECT OF THE COMMITTER. The project of the committee on foreign re- lations lust session (to guarantee interest on the company’s bonds) was one to get just as close tothe control of the canal as existing conditions permitted. The government could exercise sovereignty of the canal. ‘The right to exercise a limited sovereignty or a limited territorial control over it had been stipulated for by President Arthur's adminis- tration, but the treaty with Nicaragua to that effect had been rejected by the Sonate. it the United States government did not obtain von- SENATOR HILL.

He preferred to have the question decided now. He preferred to anticipate by a few years the march of events and to put the government in such relations with the canal that no nation (Nicaragua or any other) could object, enabling the government to furnish for the commerce of the United States und of the nosia cheap ‘Wansit from ocean to ocean. The resolution was agreed to. ‘TO REVIVE THE GRADE OF LIEUTENANT GEXERAL.
