Last week John G. Figuera, who keeps a saloon at the corner of Eleventh avenue and Thirty-sixth street, applied to Justice Coulter for a warrant for the arrest of one James Ryan, a laborer, residing at No, 21 Broome street, and a lawyer named John L, Lindsey, who keeps an office at No. 289 Green Wich street, and has his residence at the corner of Forty-first street and Eighth avenue. The nature of the complainant’s story was as follows:—He tes- tified that on the 23th of January last Ryan, witha party of men and an auctioncer named William Abs bott, of No. 6 City Hall place, came to his place of business, No, 651 West Forty-second street, a res- taurant, during his absence, and, without his know- ledge or consent, sold by auction everything that he could find of any value in the place to different persons. Lindsey he charges with Pes le an accessory, after the fact, to the stealing of his furui- ture and other property, which were of considerable value, He further swore that neither Ryan nor Lindsey had any claim against him whatever. Abbott, the auctioneer, swore that Ryan had em- ployed nim to sell out the contents of thi place, and that Lindsey had tformed him that Ryan was a client of his and that this auction sale of Figueva’s ace was (0 take place to pay the amount of a judgment or lawsuit which ‘an had obtained against Pigaete The latter's bartender and two or three others were also sworn and had their testl- mony committed to writ A warrant for the ap- prehension of Ryan and Lindsey was then issued and given for execution to oficer Nairne, of the court squad, who arrested Ryan en Wednesday and Lindsey yesterday. Ryan is now locked up, await- ing an examination, but Lindsey was allowed to go on his parole by Justice Bixb, FEMALE SUFFRAGE, Mrs. M. K. Odlum Before a Brooklyn Au- dience. Mrs, M. K.

No chairman of a commlitee was sale, how- ever well he might discharge his duties, If the Secretary of the Treasury took a dislike to the chair- mau of the Committee on Finance he might come to the Senate and, with the precedent which the cau- cus proposed to make, demand his removal. Schurz scouted the reasons given by the special commitice for the removal of Sumner, Every one in the caucus knew, and the coun- would understand, that he was removed because of his opposition toSt. Domingo, There was no ase in disguising this; It was too plain, ihe acquisition of St. Domingo was not a party issue. ‘here were, nowever, members of the republican party in both houses of Congress who opposed 1t, ‘There were undoubted republicans all over the county Who thought 1t unwise. Mr. Sumner had done nothing against the party. He stood for twenty years as one of its acknowledged leaders, and now it was proposed to disgrace lim, simply because he presumed to differ with the President on this ques- uon, Senator Edmunds made a bitter speecn against Sumner and in favor of his removal. He did not, however, advauce any new ideas on the subject, but simply reiterated what had been stated py Senator Howe. Senator Logan made a strong speech in sup. portof Sumner. He denounced the attempt of the President to dictate the formation of the Senate committees and paid a high compliment to the services of Mr. Sumner. At length Senator Wilson moved to recommit the report to the committee, with instructions to allow the Committee on Foreign Relations to remain un- disturbed. The following is the vote on this motion:— YEaS—Senators Gilbert, Trumbull, Robertson, Logan, Morrill of Maine, Morrill of Vermont, Wiison, Wright, Windom, Ferry of Connecticut, Schurz, Cragin, Fenton, Sherman, Sprague, Tipton, ods Catdwell, Hitchcock, Corbett and Bore- man—21.

He received a large number of telegrams to-night from prominent republicans in different parts of the country, denouncing the action of the caucus, The report of the committee will be submitted to the Senate to-morrow, Mr. Wilson Will object to 1ts present consideration and {t will go over fora day, When it does come up for consider. ation Wilson, Schurz, Logan and others will haye something to say about it in open Senate, Standing Committees of the Senate.
