One of the Capitel Beggars Brought Into Court. Members of the Gapitol police force are doing the best they can to prevent the scliciting of alms in the Capitol, and almost every day arrests are made and the offenders are usually prosecuted for va- grency. But yesterday Officer Sinnott made an arrest of a man who had called on at least three of the New York delega- tion and who had received some assistance. This man, who was comfortably dressed, claimed at times he had lived in the dis- tricts now represented by Messrs. Sher- man, Chickering and Gillette. He had given different names to the Congressmen, and yesterdzy when the three members, compared notes they caused the arrest. Nelson Lewis was the name given by che man, and he said he had a married dauga- ter living in Ithaca. He had lived in va- rious places, the last one being Utica. For several weeks, he says, he has been in Gecrgia trying to do some insurance bust- ness. In conversation with the Congressmen he said he had lived at Green's Corner, near Rome, and at Adams Center, in the adjoining county. He also claimed that he was an intimate friend of J. Sloat Fassett. Congressman Sherman was a witness in the Police Court today when the case was called, and Judge Miller heard the proof. In his own defense the prisoner said that he had never been arrested before in his life, and that he had seen better days. The $2 given him by Mr. Sherman he spent for food and lodging. At times he said he had lived on dry bread, and it was his intention when ke returned to New York to send him the money he had loaned him. Mr. Sherman said he did not mind the §2, for he would give any hungry man money for food, but he did not relish the idea of being imposed upon. Judge Miller inqujred of Lewis why he had not given his right name, and he said because it was a matter of pride with him. The court said that this business of beg- ging in the Capitol should be stopped. Members, he said, have something to do other than spend their time in elms-giving. The judge realized how persistent some of these men are, and said he knew that some of them really threatened members. ‘I’m not that kind of a man,” said Lewis, “and {f your honor will let me go I'll leave the city and go out on a freight train if I can’t get out in any other way.” The court told him that when arrests are made something has to be done with them as an example to others. A fine of $25 or thirty days was imposed. —_»_—__—_ WILL INCLUDE MANY BUREAUS. Scope of the Proposed Department of Commerce and Manufactures.

Gone Duck Shooting Again. President Cleveland left the city last night at 10:80 on the light house tender Maple for a day’s shooting at Widewater, five miles below Quantico, on the Potomac river. He was accompanied by Light House Inspector Lamberton, who has been his companion on former shooting trips. It was expected that Dr. O'Reilly would be one of the party, but for some reason he did not go. The President is expected t return to the city at 10 o'clock tonight. CULLOM’S HOME His Warlike Attitude Makes a Sensation in Llincis. SHAFTS “AIMED AT WKINLEY Situation in the State a Dubious One. AN AGGRESSIVE CAMPAIGN Correspondence of The Evening Star. Z. CHICAGO, March 10, 1896. The metamorphosis of Senator Shelby M. Cullom is causing a decided sensation in Illinois. For thirty years he has been known as a trained politician, whose strength lay in persuasion and conciliation. In the arts of peaceful politics he excelled. Denunciation was foreign to his methods. Suddenly all this has changed. A bat- tery has been trained on the state from Washington. Interview after interview has appeared, in which Senator Cullom talks as no one ever heard him taik before. These interviews are supplemented by private let- ters to his personal friends. All of them breathe a warlike spit All of them, too, are directed against Major William Mc- Kinley of Ohio. A few weeks ago Senator Cullom was a presidential candidate, but his candidacy was somewhat apologetic. Now it is ag- gressive, at least so far as Illinois is con- cerned. Major McKinley has invaded the state and Senator Cullom charges in sub- stance that this invasion is in violation of the rules and articles of political war under which each candidate should be let alone in his own commonwealth. He goes further than either Reed, Allison or Morton has done, and challenges the right of Major McKinley to any claim for support based on the tariff or reciprocity superior to that of the leading republicans in Congress when the McKinley bill was passed. And he says icKinley’s friends are using money very freely. Possibilities of the Future. The Illinois situation for the next two months is full of interesting possibilities. In brief compass it may be said that Major McKinley’s supporters now propose to seek instructions for him in every district con- vention which selects delegates to Louis. They propose also to demand in- structions from the state convention ior the delegates-at-large. If they carry the latter point they will gain much prestige in the west and will make the presentation of Senator Cullom’s name at St. Louis im- practicable. They are asking instructions in the county conventions, which are chocs- ing delegates to the state and congressional conventions. Wherever delegates are chosen without instructions this may be set down as a defeat for them. The district conven- tions begin the latter part of the present month. The state convention comes off April 29. In the meantime the battle royal goes on. Allison, Reed and Morton have repeated their assurances that they will keep out of the state, though through a neighborly feeling or fO some other cause the men heretofore selected as delegates, and those who will be named in the fu- ture by Senator Cullom’s friends, are for Allison a3 their second choice. As the score now stands twelve dele- gates to St. Louis have been chosen. Two have heen instructed for McKinley, ten are anti-McKinley, which is say Cullom. To the state convention, wh will select the delegates-at-large, about 650 of the 1,335 delegates who will compose it have been chosen. Of these 83 have been actually in- structed for McKinley, 20 to 30 are from counties which passed miid resolutions for the Ohio man, but did not instruct; 26 have been instructed for Cullom, and the re- mainder are uninstructed. The “remainder” is chiefly Cook county, or Chicago, which has 872 delegate does not make a very for McKinley to secure a majority of the state convention, though within a few days several of the large counties in the interior of the state may proncunce for him. His expectations, how- ever, are based on the prospect of a bolt in the Cock county delegation to the ex- tent of 150 votes. With this number to build on the McKinley managers might go out through the state and stand a fair ehow of success. Mayor Swift of Chicago is a delegate, and he is scheduled to lead the bolt. Such a thing may happen, as Swift is for McKinley and would like to be a delegate-at-large. But if the bolt takes place its proportions are not likely to ex- ceed 50 or 60 votes. Congressman Lorimer and his associates in control of the local machine, who named the delegates to the state convention, took care in selecting their men to guard against accidents. They now see they made a mistake in not in- dorsing Cullom, but they promise to rec- tify it by holding their delegates together in the state convention. With Cook county solid, or nearly so, from the present out- look it does not scem probable that the McKinley people can secure anything like @ majority to instruct the delegates-at- large, so the contingency of Senator Cul- lom being forced to retire from the field may be dismissed for the time being and some attention given to the districts. An Important Factor. The Illinois Congressmen are fortunate in that most of them are sure of renomina- tion, though some may not find it as easy to be elected as in 1894. Lorimer, Cooke, Foss, White and Belknap, all representing Chicago districts, have already been named. Aldrich retired- voluntarily and Woodman will be forced to retire unless he can settle his differences with the local machine. Hitt, Cannon, Prince, Keeves, Groff, Marsh,’ Connolly, Wood, Burrell, Murphy and Smith are as good as renom- irated. The shadow of opposition to War- ner exists, but it is rapidly disappearing. Hadley of the eighteenth district has some foes whose strength is yet undetermined. Hopkins will be renominated for Congress if he fails to realize his ambition to be governor. This condition, so pleasing to the individ- tal Congressman, is important in under- standing the ‘presidential complication, be- cause there are signs that the Illinois dele- gation in the House intend to take up Sen- ator Cullom’s fight with McKinley and make it their own. As a rule the Con- gressman has enough to look after in se- curing his renomination, and he is shy of mixing in the choice of delegates to the national convention. A few of the mem- bers will find it necessary to observe this caution, and possibly two or three of them are indifferent to Cullom. But several have already written to their districts, announc- ing that they want the Senator from Iili- nois given what is due him. Some have said they will come home to see about it. Last November, before he went to Wash- ington, Representative Cannon threw that right arm of his around the neck of what- soever friend he chanced to meet, and de- clared it looked as though Cullom might have a chance for the presidency. He and the Sengjor have not been good friends at times; they have had sharp rivalries; but he wanted it known that their differences were things of the past, and if Joe Cannon could help Shelby Cullom into the White House he proposed to sit up nights to do it, He thought every republican in Illinois ought to feel the same way. Some remark- ably vigorous expressions of opinion on “the McKinley invasion” are being echoed through the Danville district. They sound natural like, and indicate that Uncle Joe is in_action. The McKinley sentiment is concentrated in a few districts so strongly that they are called plague spots by Senator Cullom’s friends. Out of them the Oh‘o candidate will almost inevitably get some votes. One of the worst of th spots is Senator Cul- lom’s home district, which is represented by Maj. Connolly in the House. It seems to be the aim of the McKinley managers to humiliate the Senator if possible. They have announced their purpose of instruct- ‘ng the delegates for McKinley, and they will do so if they can secure the votes. Cullom’s neighbors took the first step to- ward checking the scheme when the con- vention in his own county of Sangamon was held. There were 150 delegates, and the roll was called on the Senator’s presi- dential candidacy. Only two ventured to record themselves against !t. The moral effect was good, but the Senator will have to go into hostile counties and pick up eight or ten more delegates in order to control the congressional convention, which meets March 31. _A McKinley Stronghold. The Peoria district, represented by Mr. Graff, is a McKinley stronghold. Local op- position to Senator Cullom has always ex- isted there. Some Ohio reople are interest- ed in newspaper properties, and this influ- ence for the buckeye candidate. The A. P. AS @ controlling factor in the politics of the district, 2nd for some reason this or- ganization has always been unfriendly to the Senator. It is generally understood among the republican politicians of the state that the A. P. A. has advanced to the point of cpenly espousing Maj. McKinley. Peorla county, the biggest one in the dis- trict, has already chosen McKinley dele- gates. In two other counties, however, Cul- jom’s friends have shunted the McKinley- ites to the side track. The convention does not meet till late in April. <The Bloomirgton district was one of the strongest for McKinley, but Cullom’s fol- lowers have had a fair degree of success in moderating the sentiment. Ex-Gov. Fifer, wh» will probably be one of the delegates, and Congressman Warner are said to be working to bring it around squarely for Cullom. The Mattoon district, whose representa- tive is Benson Wood, is filied with Ohio peo- ple. Whatever may be their eccentricities at home, when the Ohio people settle in other states they are sincere in their sup- port of an Ohio man for President. The Mattoon district has been strongly pro-Mc- Kinley, and is so yet. “But some of the count es were formerly part of Mr. Can- ron’s bailiwick, and his influence, joined with other agencies, may change the senti- ment. The convention will be held March 31, In the twenty-second, or Egyptian, dis- trict,where ex-Congressman John R. Thom- as has falied to gain s.pport against Con- gressman Smith, the McKinley sentiment, which was at ore time rampant, is said to have moderated considerably. By the time the convention meets, in May, the district is likely to be fully in Senator Cullom’s control. In the northern part of the state the Mc- Kinleyites were strong enough some time ago to sidetrack a movement for Reed in the Rockford district, which was engineered by Congressman Hitt. The A. P. A. is strong in this section—so strong that Gen. Thomas G. Lawler, cx-commander-in-chief of the Grand Army of the Republic, couldn’t be elected a delegate in the face of its op- Position. Some dissensions, however, have arisen, and it is not certain that the con- vention, April 10, which renominates Mr. Hitt, will cnstruct the St. Louis delegates for McKinley. A Cloud on the Horizon. In the Aurora district, which adjoins, Mc- Kinley has high expectations, which are not ill-founded. But there is a little cloud on the horizon. This is Congressman Hopkins’ home, and his people want him to be go’ nor. In his canvass, Mr. Hopkins has been a steady advocate of McKinley, yet the Ohio man's lieutenants in Illinois have not treat- ed him very well. After the nomination for governor is made, if John R. Tanner is named, Mr. Hopkins may want a settlement day with Maj. McKinley, and it will be had when the Aurora district chooses delegates to St. Louis. From this brief review a fair idea may be gained of the outcome of the struggle in Illinois between Senator Cullom and Maj. McKinley, for that is what the situation has resolved itself into. The Chicago leaders have seen their cherished plans for a solid, unpledged delegation cast to the winds. Chairman Jamieson of the state central committee daily reiterates his direct per- sonal charge of a breach of faith on the part of Maj. McKinley. The instruction of the delegates in the seventh district, when Congressman Foss was renominated, is the | basis of the charge; but if it hadn’t happened in this district the explosion would have come somewhere else. Senator Cullom has the fight of his life ahead to keep the Mc- Kinley delegates chosen in Illinois down to the smallest possible number. His prestige and his leadership in the state are at stake. The fighting qualities he has developed are the delight of his friends. Whether he 1s able to do anything for himself or not, he proposes to lead a majority of the delegates away from McKinley, more likely in the direction of Allison than anywhere else. This leaning of Illinois delegates to Allison has already been explained in The Star, but it will be kept in the background because the Iowa Senator has passed the word along the line that if his Illinois friends want to help him they must turn in and fight under the Cullom banner. Clarkson, who is in the city at the present writing, has been in confer- ence with the local leaders and has confirmed this statement. As to the ultimate result, I see no reason to change the opinion expressed in The Star some time ago. McKinley might split the Illinois delegation evenly, but a third of it for him is a more conservative estimate. And the Illinois delegates who are not for him are likely to be eternally and everiast- ingly agaipst him. —S A LIVELY EPISODE. The Tension of Feeling on the Du Pont Case Shown. Senator Turpie yesterday concluded his argument in behalf of the minority of the committee on privileges and elections on the Du Pont case, and Senator Pritchard secured the floor to make a speech in favor of seating Mr. Du Pont. Just before Mr. Turpie finished talking there was a spirited passage of words between him and Mr. Mitchell of Oregon, chairman of the com- mittee, who sought to interrupt the speaker to ask a question. Mr. Turple indignantly refused to yield, and called attention to the contrast between his conduct and that of Mr. Mitchell, whom he had not interrupted while talking. Mr. Mitchell asked if Mr. Turpie charged him with unparliamentary conduct, and Mr. Turpie responded by again contrasting himself with his colleague on the committee. This aroused Mr. Mitchell’s ire to the boiling point, and in impassioned tones he denounced Mr. Turpie for his words and his attitude. The episode was of an unusually lively nature, and at times the Senators dropped the formalities of de- bate and used the “yon” and “I” of direct discourse. Jt passed over without further sensational incidents, however, though it indicated the high tension of feeling that exists on the Du Pont case. ———_——_—_-e+_______ THE SENATE’S EXPENSES. To Re Investigated by the Committee on Appropriations, The Senate committee on appropriations has decided to take up the question of the expenditures of the Senate in connection with the legislative, executive and judicial appropriation bill, and to make a thorough investigation of the subject, with the view of reducing the expenditures of it as found expedient to do so. This determination is the result of charges ,of extravagance which have been made against the Senate in connection with the effort on the part of some of the republican Senators to bring about a reorganization of the Senate forces. It is not supposed that the investi- gation by the appropriations committee will supersede that of the committee on civil service and retrenchment, but it is in- tended to guide the committee in making the appropriation for the current year, which must necessarily be made on this —~o.___ Sentence Approved. Private Robert K. Elliot, troop G, sixth cavalry, was tried by a general court-mar- tial at Fort Myer and found guilty of ab- sence from afternoon stables in violation of the thirty-third article of war, of malicious- ly damaging the property of a civilian and of conduct prejudicial to good order and military discipline. He was sentenced to be confined at hard labor for the period of two months and to forfeit $15 of his pay. The sentence has been approved by Gen. Ruger, commanding the Department of the Atian- tic, and will be executed at Fort Myer. —-e-____.- A Fireman Wanted. The United States civil service commis- sion will hold an examination in this city on the 25th instant to secure a list of ell- gbles for the position of fireman. A va- cancy now exists in the War Department. Preference in certification to fill the exist- ing vacancy will be given to competitors who have a knowledge of the boiler mak- er’s trade. The salary of the position is $720 per annum. Residents of the District ef Columbia or of any of the states will be admitted to this examination. — Army Navy Retirements. Colonel W. H.

A Mother's Disappointing Search for a Lost Child. A few days ago the police authorities re- ceived a notice from Maj. Wm. G. Moore, superintendent of the Washington police, that a reward of $25 had been offered for any information leading to the discovery of the whereabouts of Fannie Thornton, a thirteen- year-old colored girl, who disappeared trom her home in Washington a few weeks ago. Yesterday afternoon Constable Wm. Web- ster brought in a colored girl who answered the description of the lost girl, and the police authorities of Washington were noti- fied. The mother of the lost child came to Alexandria Jast night, but she was disap- pointed, as it was not her child. The mother was almost distracted and now has few hopes of ever seeing her chi!d alive again. Charter Granted. Judge J. K. M. Norton yesterday granted a charter of incorporation to the Southera Expanded Metal Company, the object of which is to make fire-proof material of all kinds. Mr. Jas. R. Caton is named as local agent cf the company. The capital stock is placed at $25,000, divided into shares of $100 each. The officers are: W. C. Lewis of Washington, president; J. H. Hunt of Balti- more, vice president and general manager, and Geo. F. Lippitt of Washington, secre- tary and treasurer. Moore Will Withdraw. R. Walton Moore, whose candidacy for the democratic nomination for Congress in this district has been announced, will, in a card to be published in the Fairfax Herald Friday, withdraw from the race, and leave the field to other candidates for the honor. Mr. Moore's reasons for withdrawing are en- tirely of a private nature, and are so strong that hé cannot even comply with the wishes of his many friends and remain in the fight. The determination of Mr. Moore not to be a candidate sti!] leaves in the field a number of gentlemen. The following have announced themselves as candidates: E. E. Meredith, J. T. Jeffries, Judge Grimsley, Judge C. H. Ashton, W. E. Bibb, John F. Ryan, Geo. A. Mushback and J. B. McCabe. Democratic Committee Meeting. Mr. Leonard Marbury, chairman of the eighth district democratic committee, has called a meeting of that committee, to be held at his office in this city Wednesday, the 18th instant, to make arrangements for holding meetings to send delegates to the state convention.

F. Andrews, direc- tor ef the school, and spent several hours admiring and studying the art collection in the Walters Gallery. The party was ac- companied by Mr. Thomas Hyde, one of the directors of the Corcoran Gallery, and Dr. F. A. Barbarin, the curator. For a number of years Mr. Andrews has invited the stadents of the Corcoran Art School to visit the Walters Gallery with him, end the annual excursion is looked forward to with lively interest. For yes- terday’s visit about 130 invitations were ex- tended, and the large number who availed themselves of the privilege is evidence of the popularity of the trip. The party occu- pied three special cars reserved for their use on one of the morning traine to Balti- more and spent considerable time among the paintings in criticism and observation. The return was not made in a body, but as suited the convenience of the individuals in the party. Students Visit Al ee eee The Eastern Athletic Club.
