A Fine Old Mansion on the Woodley Road Now Being Made Ready for Him. ‘The President and Mrs. Cleveland are going | © to have a home in the country aa they did four | years ago. By the end of the present month it is expected that the Middleton House on the Woodley Lane road will be ready for their occupancy. An army of workmen are now ‘engaged in refitting the house and in getting the entire place in readiness for the dis- tinguished tenants. Mr. Cleveland has leased the place for = term of years and has not bought it. It is now the property of Mr. Fran- cis G. Newlands, who was recently ciected a member of the House from Nevada. Several Years ago Mr. Newinnds bought the place from Mrs. Kate M. Henderson, the wife of Chief Engineer Henderson of the navy. It is better known as the Middleton place. ‘The house isa large old-fashioned structure, roomy, comfortable and occupying en ideal location. It is nearer the city than Oak View, which was the home of tho President during his former administration. Situated on the south side of the Woodiey road and to the east of the fine country home of Mr. Gardiner G. Hub- bard, the house stands onan elevated knoll, sur- rounded with fine old oak trees. It is some distance back from the road and commands an extended view, not only of the rolling country to the north. perhaps the most striking and Picturesque section of the fsmous Rock Creek Tegion, but from the windows there is one of most charming and extensive views of the city to be found in this vicinity. A driveway leads up to the house from the rond, winding along under the spreading branchos of ‘the great ‘forest trees, with stretches of lawn on | both sides,’ and ending at the house with its generous entrance and air of home comfort and rest. The house was built in the days when more care and time was given to construction than is now apt to be the case. The solid old walls of brick rest on stone foundations, The exterior walls are plastered | or stuccoed and form the plain, honest frame- work of a home which is intended to be com- fortable. The frontage is quite 100 feet and THE COURTS. Crncert Cover, Divistox 1—Judgr Bradley. Today—J. A. Rose agt. J. W. Cross; allowed to deposit certified check Hardy agt.

The plumbing of the house is being renewed, and a system of steam heating is being putin. The grounds will be put in order, and as faras ® handsome appearance goes ‘the President need not be ashamed of his home in the country. In every way the house is larger than the one at Oak View. There are some thirty acres of land about the bouse, and if Mr. Cleveland is inclined to agriculture! pursuits he can have ample swing for his fency in this direction. Last summer the house was occupied by Mr. Joha T. Arma, THE APPOINTED SENATORS. Vest Makes an Extended Argument Against Their Being Seated. No new morning business being introdug@d the Senate resumed consideration of the re- port of the committee on privileges and elec- tions in favor of the admission of the Senators appointed by the governors of the states of Montana, Washington and Wyoming—the legislatures having failed to elect. ‘Mr. Vest (Mo.) made an argument against the admission of the three Senators. Great stress had been laid, he said, by the Senators from Massachusetts and Alabama (Hoar and Pugh) on the fact that the question was res adjudicata. The doctrino of stare decisis was invoked as absolutely concinsive. If that were true, it would be, as. a matter of course, of the controversy, but he denied it. nied that the doctrine of stare decisis applied to the decisions of the Senate except when the Senate was sitting as a high court of impeach- ment. In the Kellogg case that contention had been made, and seven democratic Senators had voted with his friends on the other side of the cham- ber against their own convictions and because they believed that the doctrine of starc decisis applied to that case. The major: cratic Senators, however, bad denied that the doctrine applied, and the proceedings of theSen- atesince 1801 showed conclusively that that doc- trine had never been thought by the best lawyers to apply. 4 DECISION BOTH wars. Itwas an acknowledged fact, however, that the Senate bad decided the question in both ways. The first case had come up in 1793 from ‘the state of Delaware and had been decided in favor of the position which he assumed today— that the governor had no right to fill an original term of x Senator by appointment, The next case had come up in 180] and had been upon sub silentio—the decision being that the governor had the right. Nine cases had been decided between 1801 and 1825—every one of them without debate; but in 1825 case hadcome up and hed been debated for three days—the result being that the Seuate deliberately determined that a gov- ernor did not have the right to fill an original term of a Senator by appointment. In other words, that the great original and primary power of electing Senators is vested in the leg- islatures of the Tenpective states In the course of his argument, Mr. Vest having remarked that Mr. Pugh had thought differently in 18%5, when he voted for the construction which he (Mr. Vest) was now contending for, Mr. Pugh excused iis vote at that time by saying that he nad followed hisiriend from Missouri in the mazes of his constitutional and metaphysical abstractious, in which they had both got lost; but that on reilection he had convinced himself that two and two do make four. There was an- other (said Mr. Vest) of the miraculous con- versions, but be feared that the authority which had changed the mindof the Senator from Alabama was not the seme that had oper- ated on St. Paul, [Laughter.] If the Senator from Alabama had got lost in 1885 it had taken him till 1893 to find thet he was lost. Anybody who took the ground con- tended for by the Senator from Alabama would have no difficulty in believing in the construc- tion that was originally put on the “general welfare” clause of the Constitution that Con- gress could do anything. In order to come to the construction contended for on the other side Senators would have to be satisfied that Mr. Madison and_ his col were guiliy of gross negligence by putting in the Constitution the unnecessary words “by resignation or other- wise.” ‘Mr. Vest quoted from the debate in the Sen- ate in the caso of Mr. Wadleigh (N.H.), im which Mr. Dawes (the collesgue of Mr. Hoar) said: “Every precedent in the Senate is against the power of the governor to appoint to # full term,” and in which Mr. Biaine sai course the governor canno; is better settled than that. For more than fifty years, said Mr. Ve Senator ever made any such contention as ‘that the governor could do that—never until 1879. At the close of Mr. Vest's speech, Mr. Chand- ler, republican, obiained the’ floor, but yieided tor an executive session, and the Senate accordingly, at 1:15 p.m., proceeded to the consideration of executive business and soon afterward adjourned till tomorrow. a A CONFLICT OF AUTHOKITY. Argument Heard in the South Carolina Rallroad Tax Cases. ‘What are known as the South Carolina rail- ond tax cases occupied the time and attention of the Supreme Court of the United States to- day. They came upon petition for writ of habeas corpus. in behalf of three county sheriffs who are constructively in jail by order of Judge Simonton of the Uniied States court in South Carolina—W, W. Riser, M. V. Tyler and M. B. Gaines.

CHARGED WITH PERJURY, George W. Wayson is Arraigned and Pleads Not Guilty. George W. Wayson was arraigned today in the Criminal Court, Justice Cox, and plead not guilty to a charge of perjary, alleged to have been committed during the pension ofiice investigation in April, 1892 The indictment states that Wayson was a witness before the committeo and testified that he did not know that while he was aesist- ant chief, or acting as such, of the special ex- amination division he procured the discharge of A. D, Wileox upon charges preferred by him Interior Department to procare Wilcox’s dis- charge, when in truth and in fact he did pro- eure the discharge. The letter, bearing date of April 19, 1889, and ‘eddroesed | to Thos. Smith. acting chief of the special ex- | amination division, states that Wilcox was | appointed from Texas August 15, 1885; that he first met Wilcox at Sioux City and found him intoxicated; next heard of him froman epsiode at Spirit Lake, where, though a married man, ho palmed himself off'as a single man. The leiter alleged that Wileox was keeping company with a sister of the postmaster, and she being in the post office saw a letter in a lady's handwriting addressed to Wilcox, and it being unsealed ehe saw it commenced’ “My dear husband,” and communicated this to her brother, who forced him to give Spirit Lake wide berth. It farther states that in 1866 Wilcox was investi- gated tor drunkenness. poker plering, &c.,and a6 a rosult he was recalled an bat reinstated and again recalled, and on his rival he said he had been ‘on a spree, worried to death from domestic affairs and bad as lief commit suicide as anything eise,” &c. THINK HER MIND IS AFFECTED, ‘Mrs. McOmber Arrested for Taking Goods From Lansburgh’s Store. About noon today Detective Wheeler made an arrest in Lansburgh’s store on 7th street which caused a surprise at police headquarters when the identity of the prisoner was made known. Florence A. MeOmber was herreal name, 80 she told the officers, and she said she was the States secret service. Her residente she gave ity and asked that her name be recorded as Mary Pitman and her residence ss South Washington. ‘The charge against the woman, was potit lar. ceny, it being charged that sho stole some dress goods from the store mentioned. The officer had the goods which the woman admitted hav- ing taken from the store. She also said she had taken other goods and took the officers to her house to give them to them. When it was jearned that the woman was the wite of Chief Clerk MeOmber, Inspector Hol- linberger thouzht the woman must certainly be a kleptomaniac, and later developments proved that the woman's mind was probably affected, Chief Drammond of the secret service vis- ited headquarters and saw In paneer Kollin- berger. He told of the respectability of the family, but was not apparently much sarprised that she had got herself into trouble. Through him inspector Hollinberger learned that the unfortunate woman lost two children about two vears ago. While one child was lying dead in the house the second child died in her arms. ‘This trouble, it is thonght, had a bad effect on her mind and since then it is stated she has attempted suici ‘An effort was made toget her into an asylum, but her husband was unable to accomplish this on ac- cians. After hearing of tho woman's troubles and afflictions Inspector Hollinbergor permitted her to gohome with the mnderstanding that she | will appear in court tomorrow. When Detective Wheeler went to the house he found several pieces of ailk and some gloves which Mrs. McOmber said she took from store. ‘The clerks in Langsburgh’s store had been her suspicious actions, the silk she was detained until the arrival of the officer. Gold Balance and Shipments. The net gold balance in the Treasury De- of $1,500,000 made from New York yesterday, is $6,000,000. Yesterday's shipment was the largest made for several weeks. and all of it was drawn from the New York subtreas- ury. In the ordinary course of busi- ness the New York subtreasury gained $300,000 in gold, +o the net loss. by yesterday's shipment was €1.200,000. his gold, it is generally understood, is taken for Austrian consumption. That country when she decided to go on a gold basis necded ©2090. 000,000 in gold. She has obtained $130,000,000 and is astanuing customer in the market for $70,000,000 more. She is gradually getting this | at her leisure wherover she can procure it the easiest and . When the rate of ex- change is favorable the other circumstances are usually such that this gold can be had in New York betier than elsewhere. No opmion is vontured as to when this output will stop, but treasury officials do not tate to express the opimon that the govern- | ment will be able to meet all ordinary gold de- mands. The margin at present is sufficiontly strong to prevent even the idea being enter- tained that the gold reserve is in danger. ———_-o+—__—__ Pawned the Diamonds Here. .
