REPUBLICAN CAUCUS DRAWS ACROWD Scenes at the State House During Its Progress. THE LOBBY’S PERSONNEL Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. ANNAPOLIS, Md., January 25.—This ancient city on the Severn has its excite- ments only spasmodically, as a man has occasional sprees. Unlike the sprees of the aforesaid man, for sake of simile, those of Annapolis are fixed. Only one of them comes once a year. There are occasionally two in a year, but this happens but once every two years. There are other times when the old town almost forgets itself in the excitement of its carryings on. That is when it is necessary to elect a United States senator. Between the intervals it is easy for the staid city to recover itself and settle into the oblivion which seems to characterize those who live on the banks of the Severn. Its other name might possi- bly be fittingly termed Lethe. The annual time which enlivens the Lethean city is the commencement at the Naval Academy. The biennial festival is the meeting of the general assembly. The biennial and quadrennial awakenings. when even the oldest inhabitant of An- rapolis realizes that he or she is living, is the choosing of a_ representative from Maryland to sit in the United States Sen- ate. Just now the city is in the throes of this convulsion, with the state house the hub of the wheel. It mattered little yesterday whether or not the Maine had been ordered to Ha- vana. It did not affect those living and visiting here half so much as the rumor, unfounded, of course, that the “eleven” from Baltimore had declared, with tears in their eyes, allegiance to the McComas cause. All eyes were on the state house in Annapolis yesterday, and the eyes of Mary- land were on Annapolis. Contagion Was General. That all classes and conditions were af- flicted with the general contagion was shown conclusively last night when The Star correspondent seated himself at the table of his hotel. The waiter was most assiduous in his attentions, and at the end ventured to express the opinion that the visitor had come down to visit the state house. “Why, what is going on over there?” was the question, put with no apparent suspicion there was anything extraordi- nary being enacted in the edifice which is the pride of the Annapolitan. . The waiter scratched his head for a mo- ment, as if puzzled to exactly explain the situation. “"Deed, I dunno, sah, ‘zactly whut it is gwine on ovah thah tonight, but I thinks it’s some kind ob a circus.” He came pretty close to the name. He had heard the word “caucus” so often he had mistaken it for circus. Far from being regarded in that light or being such, the caucus was really a most solemn affair. It was called for last night at 8 o'clock. Long before that time the delegates had returned to the state house from their hastily eaten supper at Bond's and the Maryland Hotel, the lat- ter place being the headquarters of the senatcrial aspirants. The headquarters of each were designated by cards on the doors which bore the legend, “McComas friends,” and the like. Not only re the house and senate crowded before the time for the caucus, but the lobby was filled to overflowing, the steps to the Hbrary had their quota of anxious watchers, and the gallery over- looking the entrances to the house, thovgh small it was, was filled with anxious faces, until it must have resembled the Black Hole cf Calcutta. Before the caucus time the McComas workers could be seen threading their way among the delegates, bolstering up the weak and striving to drag the bolters to rally around the banner of their man. The tall crested senator, Wash Wilkinson of St. Mary’s, was visible above the ranks ef the foemen, while Delegate Ashley M. Gould of Montgomery county, with his eyes ablaze, worked and hustled as if he had the svirit of battle inculeated in him through and through. Mr. George R. Gaither, jr., of Baltimere, a stanch Mc- Comas man, was seen with his eyeglasses hanging to an eyelash, as it were, working for his choice. Senator Day, he of the sturdy form and white sombrero, has been one of the notable figures of the fight. Solemnity Reigns. When the house was cleared for the caucus to begin, and it was no small job to do this, and the doors were closed, a solemn hush seemed to fall upon the place as if a magic rite was to be performed. It did not last long, however, for questions were ask- ed and ai ered as to the bolters from Baltimore, and conjectures were made, views expressed and opinions freely given us to the outcome. While the crowd lined up to the doors to the house chamber, like waiters in line be- fore the box office of a play house, {ts out- skirts extended into the senate chamber to the library stairs, und to the library itself. A few fringes even reached as far as Bond’s in the persons of those who wished to wrrange their thirst. They quietly re- turned, however, so that nothing should be lost. While the politicians on the inside were making their slate those on the outside in the lobby were doing a little ciphering themselves. Representative Mudd was in evidence. He is always either chewing a toothpick or holding a cigar in his mouth. He seemed to have a bunch of toothpicks alcng with bim last nigkt. Representative McDorald wes busy lobbying on the out- side, while Mr. Gould was attending to the interests of Judge McComas on the inside. The representative of the Pefferesqu whiskers seemed to be more busily attend- ing to his own fences than in assisting to build any about some one else. Representative Barber was one of the few men present wearing “plug” ha-s. He Icoked as if he thought he might have made a slight mistake in his outfit for the occasion, but seemed entirely pleased with the set of his mution-chop whiskers, Those in the Lobby. There were whites and blacks in the lobby, and men whose faces had been shaved at first-class city tonsorial palaces, standing cheek by jowl with those notably from the eastern sho’, sah, who had long beards, with cherrystone oyster shells sticking out from the hairs. Whil2 they talked with one ancther and tried to ap- Pear unconscious at the slightest move- ment inside the chamber, where sounds of rounding the slate into form could be heard, they would turn their eyes in that direction like a cat watching a rat hole, tut pretending to be thinking of a bird in a tree. Attorney General Clabaugh, with the smooth face and extreme boyish counte- mauce, was on> of the watchers. He was hopeful of the caucus declaring for Mc- Comas, ard did not seem uneasy as to the result. The republicans are not, the only ones who have their innings at the state house now. The democratic leaders have ap- parently taken great interest in the out- come of the fight for the senatorship. Col. Schley, Murray Vandiver and several of the other leaders of that party in the rtate have been on hand to see if they might not give a shove in the proper direction, to aid themselves and the party. “Handsome” Harry Welles Rusk, ex-representative and chairman of the democratic committee, was in the lobby last night, making inquiry as to the probable outcome, with no little interest. “Col Eugene Higgins, who has been known in the past as a most success- ful lobbyist, when fhe Gorman-Rasin sov- ereignty existéd, Was also in the crowd, and, casting sio.Ft the place of conceal- rent of the caticts. Several of Baltimore's former tin-hofn “politicians, who had worked for Rasiq’ et al., showed their faces, but they*ioo! as if they were at a watermelon fegst,“where the rinds were so tough they couldnot stick their teeth tn. poceetEaly yee doors to the Ee room would be,slightly opened, and a rus! would be made ta, get a peep on the in- side. Everythihg appeared to be quiet and harmonious. A giknpse could be had of the tall form ef Senator Wash Wilkinson and his whiskers, as he moved about the room, counseling, advising and entreating. Mr. Gould was.a close second. Occasional- ly one of the caucus members would come to the door, stick his head out for a mo- ment and then disappear before any di- rect question’could be put at him. Begins on Schednuie Time. The caucus began, as scheduled, at 8 o'clock. It lasted until a few minutes be- fore 11, wher, in some inscrutable mannea it became krown that its work had. been finished. Life in Annapolis, even for a short time, begets early hours, and the crowd which had assembled in such large numbers at d o'clock had perceptibly diminished at 10:30. There were enough left, however, at the time the caucus concluded its labors, to show plenty of enthusiasm when the an- pounceraent was made that McComas had received the unanimous vote of the caucus <8 votes in all. Little doubt was ex- Pressed that on the-morrow the nominee would be elected, with but little opposition. The members dispersed to their hotels and boarding hevses. The old Maryland Hotel, which has been the headquarters of poli- ticians of both parties for years, was ze- sorted to, end even after midnight there was plenty of stir and ‘bustle. From a private dining room came sounds of applause. Police Commissioner Johnson of Baltimore, it was explained, was enter- taining a few friends at a terrapin supper. The friends, by the way, included the ten Baltimore delegates who failed to attend the caucus. They seemed to be deriving pleasure from each other’s company, and had evidently determined not to be out in the cold if they could help it, by sticking to one another over the terrapin. ‘There is more going cn in Annapolis than would appear to a casual visitor. The sur- face 1s stagrant enough, but underneath there is a whirl. There are plenty of un- dercurrents, and they appeared but a little sbelow the surface last night. There are wheels within wheels. The state house itself ts situated in the center of a circle, and the whole city is entwined, as it were, about this. All roads lead to it. It is possible to get started on that state house circle and revolve about it for a long time. But a person soon falls into the knack, when the revolutions become too prolonged, of darting down one of the streets, or little alleys. which lead from the circle like spokes from the wheel. In such a case, it is ten chances to one the destination will be easily reached, unless the wished for place is on the other side of the circle. Bond's and the Maryland Hotel are the great resorts of the statesmen. It ig not necessary for them to be visited for one to get a fill of oysters or fish. The latter are staple commodities of Annapolis. A Gratified Epicure. “I just finished one of the finest meals of oysters and terrapin I think a mortal man ever put away,” one delegate was heard to remark to another last night. “If you want me to I'll tell you where I got ’om.” < 2 The other yawnéd and made a remark about ham and eggs being good enough for him. It is sufficient t® remark that one of these two was“froti western Maryland, in the mountain regicn. The gentleman cf ham and eggs:proclivities was from the eastern eho’, whhers they tuck the oysters in their little beds, every night, and where they vse the diarond-back terrapin for spittoons. - S Anvapolis is‘*a auch cheaper place in which to residd.than is Washington. When The Star corrqspopdent alighted from the train the cabmen gffered to take him any- where in town’ fo! cents. 5 “Boss, I'll show*yér ter yer hotel an carry yer grip ‘ter:sboot fer 3 cents,” said a diminutive golored boy, from which it razy be inferred that cents are scarcer than oysters in Annapgiis. It is even stated that the hotels*refrain from serving terra- pin mofe thah twice a Gay for fear their guests may. kick. At deast this is waat Gol. Choptank: says.

As anticipated in The Star of last even- ing, a conference was held late yesterday afternoon between Judges Kimball and Scott in relation to various matters con- nected with the Police Court business which come under their jurisdiction. A de- cision was not reached in regard to any im- portant matter, nor will there be any changes in the present status of affairs un- til after another conference is held between them, which, it is understood, will not take place until Judge Scott is requested to con- fer on the subject by Judge Kimball. It is rumored about the court house and generally believed that the most important subject touched on at yesterday’s confer- ence was that relating to the chief clerk- ship of the Police Court, which is now held, as it has been for the past seven years, by Mr. Joseph Y. Potts. It is understood that much pressure has been brought to bear upon the court by some persons higher in authority to appoint Justice John H. O’Don- nell in the place of Mr. Potts, and as the esse now stands, it appears to be that Jvdge Scott is disposed. to yield to this pressure, while Judge Kimball is not. It is certain that there will be no change for a few days, at least, and in the meantime, in- fluenilal friends of Mr. Potts propose to call on the President, who is said to be favorable to the change, and ask him to withdraw his opposition to Mr. Potts. —— OFFER DOTS WITH DAUGHTERS. Two New York Fathers’ Inducements for Sons-in-Law. A dispatch from Tonawanda, N. Y., yes- terday says: The announcement that two of this city’s most prominent citizens de- sired to secure acceptable suitors for their respective daughters’ hands, and that they would each settle upon their prospective sons-in-law a small fortune, fell like a bombshell in society circles. The cause of the generous offers is not really known. Ever since the desire of the two fathers became public property the in- flux of would-be sons-in-law has been great, and the desire of this city’s corps of mar- riageable men, both young and old, to se- cure the hearts and hands of these two wo- men is surprisi With the hang of Miss Emily Hull, who is thirty-five years old, goes the sum of $5,000, together with a gnug fortune of $30,000, which she is x¢puted to be worth in her own right, and,a prospective chance of se- curing a ‘one-third, share of her father’s fortune, said tg reach $150,000. Mr. Hull came to, this city from Switzer- land ahkout thirty, years ago and located about six miles from Away, on the banks of the Niagara yer, near Lasalle, on a tract of some thré€ hundred acres of farm land. With him~were his wife and two daughters, Emfly ahd Nettie, the latter be- ing the oldest.cFos twenty years he culti- vated the soil and;accumulated about $50,- 000. About this time Mr. Hull married his daughter Nettié to 32 neighboring farm boy. When the beom*struck this city, about @ year ago, Mr; Huil sold 150 acres of his farm for $1,100 anjacre, clearing $165,000. It is said that Miss Hull has found a suitor in John. Fletcher, a chief engineer on a large lake steamer plying between Buffalo and Chicago. He arrived in this city today, and forthwith went to the home of Mr. Hull. The result of his visit could not be learned. The othec young woman who is held up by a zealous and ambitious father as a wife for some young and ambitious man. is but seventeen years old, and is pretty, being of a decided brunette type, smail stature, and, it is said, with an amiable disposition. Miss Lillian Pingree, the young lady in. ques- tion, does not poapierce in the matter and oe against the selection of her future usband by her father. The fact that $10,000 in cold cash and an established busi- ness goes with her father’s choice does not deter the young woman from her desire to ‘wait and select her own husband. Miss Lillian Pingree, the younger of the two women, is s daughter of James Pin- gree, a retired lumber dealer, who is re- puted to be worth $75,000, and the desire to marry his daughter is attributed to the fact that she is without a mother, and con- sequently sacks the care that would be hers if her mother was living. The father, who is fifty-eight years old, is of a good dispo- sition. At present the lucky man has not turned up, although men ranging from sev- enty years to nineteen years of age have either written or eome personally. The de- sires of these two ambitious fathers have within tne last four days made this city an Eldorado for fortune hunters. Se Pay the Penalty. Isaiah Smallwood and Nelson Long, col- ored, were today sent to jail by Judge Scott for sixty days each, for the larceny of nine chickens, valuéd at thirty cents each, from Barrett Cohen, October 6 last. | Smallwood was also convicted of the lar- ceny of a bicycle wrench from Daniel Free- tran, and for this Judge Scott gave him thirty days. The testimeny showed that Detective Mc- Glue and Officer ‘Donohue of the seventh precinct station induced Long to make a confession of the theft of the chickens, on the promise that if he did so it would go easier with both when they got before the ecurt. “Judge Scott said that manner of securing evidence did not commend itself to him, and he hoped it would not be repeated. As there was, however, other evidence implicating the accused, ne gave the sen- tence stated. Hie cee A Missourf Democratic Convention. The Missouri democratic state central ccmmittee met in St. Louis yesterday and Gecided to call the state convention to meet at Springfield, Mo., Wednesday, Augrst 10. The silver repubiicans of the state, tarough their leaders, demanded that hereafter they and the populists be given represeniation on ‘he state ticket, and threatened, if re- fused, to vote with tha republicans. It was decided to follow the recommendation of the national free silver committee.
