C, Nov. 13, ) There is likely the rganization of the next house of representa tives, for it is going to be so uncomfortably €lose that the democrats are to-day claiming amajority. Tho repablicans are alarmed, and are taking moasures to sccure certifl cates for candidates of that party who claim an clection, The democ ave telegraphed 10 every district where there is & doubt or where the differences are small, to have the votes recounted and all doubtful ones thrown out, which is, in other words a hint 0 use fraud if possible. According to the figures as they stated to-night, the democrats d repubiicans cach have 160 members elected, with the Second Louisiana, Tenth Michigan, First West Virginis, First Cali- fornia and Fifth California in doubt. Of theso five the democrats * expect to get two of a cortainty, and proba- bly @ third, which will give them a majority of one in_the house.

The Preparations Complete fora Very Quict Wedding. BosTo¥, Mass,, Nov. Special Telegram to Tre Bre, j—Mr. and Mrs, George Peabody of Salem, grandpa of Miss Endicott, Joseph Chamberlain’s future bride, will not attend the wedding owing to their advanced age, but will manifest their approval of the marringe by giving their lovely grand daughter a check for a large amount of money. The coming wedding will be with- out pomp or display because of mourning in the family, two near relatives having died within a year. So faras the near relatives are concerned they are ry limited in num- ber, which accounts for the few that have been invited, Miss Endicott has already received o arge number of valuable prosents, including o diamond and sapplire necklace from her unclo w London, Joseph has given her a diamond and sapphire creseent for ier hair, a pair_of diamond and_sapphire bracelets, and a dia- mond ring. Her father has given her o dia. mond crescent. In addition to her personal outfit, including seven costly dresses made by Worth of Paris, she will carry to her new home in Princess Garden, London, a com- plete assortment of household linen, each article delicately embroidered with her ini tials. This is in accordance with old puritan customs. The wedding tour, as previously announced, will be of seven days’ duration, but so far'as can be learned the couple will not go to Salem. They will pass but a brief honeymoon in this country, as Mr. Chamber- lain “has important busincss to attend to in England early in Decembe gy : MR, CARNEGIE'S AT GIFT. He Will Establish a Big Conservatory of Music in New York. NEW Yonk, Nov. 13.—The long felt want of New York for a grand conservatory of music, it is reported, is soon to be supplied. Mr, Andrew Carnegie, it is said, has been the prime mover in furthering the project. Ever since he was elected president of the Oratorio society he has sought for some way in which to make an_acknowledgment of the honor. The disbanding of Theocore Thomas® orchestra made him more auxious to estab- lish a big conservatory. In order toget their views Mr. Carncgie has held several consul- tations with the dircctors of the Philhar- monic, Arion_und_other societics over the matter with Mr. Thomas, Walter Damrosch and a number of leading musical critics. They are all united, it is said, in praising the plan and gave Mr.' Carnegic assurances of their hearty co-operation and support of those they represented. The conscrvatory will not be for the use of any organization, but shall be owned and controlled by all! Those irterested will decide upon a leader fgr the orchestra. This will probably be Walter Damrosch or Theodore Thomas. BURNED TO DEATH. snts Three Bodies Found in the Chat- tanooga Hotel Ruins.

A PRINTED LETTER CAUSED IT. He Would Not Submit to Official Inter- ference in His Department— Tracing up the Whitechapel Murderer, An Interview With Warre Loxnoy, Nov. 13.—[New York Herald Cable—Special ,to Tig Bee.]—Sir - Charles Warren has copied Lord Sackville and m consequence shares his fate. John Murray invited the commissioner to use nis pen. He produced an article on the police, defending himsclf. The matter came up in parliament, His superior, the home secretary, grabbed him, saying that Sir Charles was ignorant of arulein the department that mo attache should write of his office without permission. This was tantamount to stating that Sir Charles was inattentive, so he resigned. He and Lord Sackville will therefore soon meet and compare note: I called upon him last evening in conse- quence. Sir Charles is o handsome, military man, looking little over forty and consider; bly browned. He wears a moustachie sug- gestive of silence, and his features are regu lar and handsome. In place of the military martinet which he is represented to be in some quarters,I found a gentleman,courteous in manner, amiable of disposition, with much dignity. His manner had more the suavity of a diplomat than the rough and ready style of a military man. “Can you give the about your announced Charles " “Well, not much,” he replied. *You must understand that until the government has appointed some one in my place I cansay nothing. However, there is one thing I wish to be understood. That is that Mr. Matthews is speaking for the govern- ment, but he is not doing so for mé. I, the commissioner, will, when the time come: have my say. At present Iam still cominis- sioner and responsible for the London police, therefore I may not speak yet.” “Can you suggest the reason of your res- ignation Not fully. But I will say that a great grievance has been the interference of the home oftice in the police department.” *‘Is that of recent date!” “No. It has been so for two years. The police department had by law been originally Placed under control of the chief seeretary of state. The charge was next made over to the home seeretary. However, this did not make us a department of the home office. I have resisted this atter assumption throughout. When it came to orders being written to us by the howme office clerks it was alittle too much.” “Were you not consulted " “Not dircetly. A curious feature of the whole business was that the government, represented by Mr. Matthews, held me per- sonally responsible for all the erime of Lon- don, and yet they made some communications to my subordinate. It was First Assistant Commissioner Munro, now it is Mr. Auder- son.” “Is there any trouble with the police?” “Noj that is all nonsense, No feeling such as has been represented exists. 1 think you will find that the metropolitan police are more contented now than they have been for years.” “You did not resigu on account of the last apel murder?! arles adjusted his glasses and smiled. He resumed emphatically: “No. Isent in my resignation before the Kelly murder, on the Sth of this month, immediately after Mr. Matthews' statement in the house of com- mons in reference to my article in Murray’s Miizazine. The resignation was accepted yesterday. That article was perfectly in- nocuous and could not do any harm.” “But the Munro case!” “Well, if Mr. Munro, who has special charge of the detectives, says he resigned on account of a difference of opinion with me, this is the first I knew of it.” “Have you any information about the Whitechapel murder?” “No. We are following up the slight clues all the time. We have received about four hundred letters, Every single idea was in- vestigated, For example, we were asked to drag a canal at a certain spot. We did so, but there was nothing to be found. People talk as if nothing had been done. As for the Malay story, it cannot hold. We have had the water police on the alert from the first. Then, we have followed up the idea of the murderous cook, and every slaughter- house is under watch for a murderous butcher. In fact, every clue has been closely followed up. There are some clues and ideas which occupy our attention, but which it would be impolitic to foreshadow to the public " Herald any detail resignation, S e L THE TERRORS OF THE STORM.

Loxpoy, Nov. 13.—|New York Herald Ca- ble—Speeial to Tue Bee.|—As had been ex- pected, further telegrams to-day from the coast service brought intelligence of further marine disasters in the gale predicted by the Herald's weather bureau, It was accom- panied on land by torrents of rain, and there is news” of great floods with damage. Last night's gale, which nad been felt on the western coast, traveled northwards, blowing heavily from the south southeast in the north of Scotlund and Shetlands, and moderate to fresh eust southeast gale on the Yorkshire coast. A tremondously high sea was run- ning in some localities. The passage of the gale was marked by a general and very heavy fall of rain. This afternoon the ba- rometer was rising over the southern parts of the country, but in the far north the mer- cury 18 still fulling witha continuation of the southeasterly gale and heavy sea.

The fearful state of the weather prevented the Galatea from launch- ing her bgats but she remained close by all night urtil 5:40 & m., when a heavy squall strucic both vessels and on the weather clearing up about 6 o'clock the steamer had sunk. The Galatea eruised about for three hours but could see nothing but wreckage floating about, nor is the name of the steamer yet known, The brig Granite was driven ashore yesterday morning botween Seaton Carew and the mouth of the Tees, The Seaton life boat went to the rescue of the crow, but could not closely approach the vessel before sie brought to. All on board were arowned except a youth who was picked up in a very exhausted stata by 6 tug. A lady Who was watching the wreck from the beach vecame so agitated and excifed that she sud denly died. Strenuous efforts were made both by the lifeboatmen and crews of several tugs to save the unfortunate fellows, but without result, The grappling irons of the lifebi. actually struck the veasel, but got no hoid The schooner, Belle of Banff, from Sunderland, was wrecked at Stone Haven yesterday. The crow were rescued by means of ropes thrown from shore. The captain was so exhansted that he fell into the water, but was recuod.

Outside the sea was so rough that an ordinary eraft could not live init. Two sailors who arrived in Schull Monday night and proceeded to Skibbereen, reported their vessel:bound from Liverpool struck on Alderman -Roek, Crookhaven, on Sunday night during the gale, and became a total wreck.

Pams, Nov. 13.—|New York Herald Cable —Special to Tue Beg,]—The chamber of deputies to-day discussed the budget of the ministry of foreign affalrs. M. Ferronays, of the Right, declared that he saw nothing to criticize in the policy of M. Goblet during the past six months, M. Goblet stated that the situation could be faced with composure, France threatened no one, and was suf- ficiently strong not to fear provocation. The government would defend the dignity of the country without forgetting that peace was the chief interest. An amendment having Dbeen pressed to abolish the embassy to the vatican, M. Goblet sald: “As long as we live under the regime of the concordat it is necessary to maintain rela- tions with the vatican for the training of the clergy and the appointments of bishops and cardinals. The importance of our protector- ate in eastern countries ulso requires the maintenance of friendly ‘Félations with the vatican. Rival powers dispate our protec- torate. The friendsnip of the pope is there- fore precious. The pope alfeady has his bit- ternesses. Is it for ns to increase them? It has been said recently that the popa could no longer count upon_any country but France. That does not mean that France will interyene to restore his temporal power; but the more the pope is deprived of the power, the more France ought to honor him by curtailing nothing of her respect for the high authority he repsesents.” [Applause.] ‘The amendment was ‘rejécted by a vote of 807 to 207, The foreigit budget was finally approved.

At the same time, however, the fact remains that the Russian army now going into winter quarters on the fromt, and near military lines of the western frontier, 18 sufficiently powerful to meet any untoward political event which might necessitate its instant mobiliz- ation, either during the wiuter or early in the spring, Russia has, however, no inten- tion, 80 long as the present political situa- tion endures, of in any degree depleting her western garrisons, I this, there is no act- ual cause for the alarm and enpessimism of the Austrianand more so of the Hungarian press, Russia’s present attitnde is dis- tinctly o waiting attitude, and for some con- siderable time will unquestionably remain the same, unless some unforeseen rupture should intervene, e The Parnell Commission. Loxpoy, Nov. 18.—At a meeting of the Parnell commission, Presiding Justice Han- nen intimated that all documents of the Times, including even those which the Times solicitor thought spuriqus, should be dis- closed in order to assist in the search for the truth, Sir Charles Russell, counsel for the Parnellites, stated that he had reccived sev- cral threatening lettars.

CricaGo, Nov. 13.—[Special Telegram to Tue Bee]—'the next few months will probably sec some great changes in the pas- senger travel between New York and tl Pacific coast, and the establishment of an Asiatic-European express, to run between New York and San Francisco, is more than likely. The Chicago & Northwestern, the Burlington, the Rock Island and the St. Paul have all given notice that they will not be bound by the time agreement in_ running between here and the Missouri river after January 11, and after that date there is likely to be great rivalry between these roads in the running time and_equipment_of their trains. The Union and Central Pacifl roads will put on the fastest trains they hav ever run next month, and when the time limit of the Missouri river lines expire, it is expected that the Pacific roads will make an arrangement_for the runnmng of through trains from 'K'risco to Chicago and New York. Indeed, negotiations are being car. ried on with the Vanderbilt and Pennsyl vania lines with this end in view, The new express on the Union and Central Pacifio lines willbe a weekly ‘“vestibuled” train with bath rooms, dining car and all the lux- uries of the castern limited trains, It will maio the run between Council Bluffs and San Francisco is sixty hours, or eleven hours less than any time so far made. —-— A Series of Accidents.

INDIANATOLIS, Nov. 13, —([Special Telegram to Tie Bee.]—The News this evening prints this bit of interesting political gossip: The first suggestion that has been made to General Harrison since his election regard- ing appointments came from the leaders of the Irish_anti-Clevelang movement, four of whom, Dr. Carroll of Philadelphia and Messrs, Devoy, Brislin and Ryan of Now York, arrived in the city last Saturday, but returned to the east yesterday. Efforts were made to prevent the public from learn- ing the purpose of their visit, but they did not hesitate to say they were here in the interest of a rep) sentative American of extraordinary ability whom the Irish citizens would be pleased to see honored by the administration, The entative American in whose elevation v arc interested, it was ascertained, is Wharton Barker, the Philadelphia banker. and proprietor of the Philadelphin American, Mr. Barker was one of the original Harrison men, having strongly urged his nomination at the convention in” 155, and he also did what he could in the wterest of the Indiana candidate preceding the triumph last June. His claims to consideration, however, are based largely on tho work that he is said to have done " during the campaign, When Carroll, Devoy and others begun political missionary work in the interest of the republican candidate they formed an organization known as the National Irish- American Protective society, which, as a po- litical movewment, was entirely independent of the republican national committee, and ceived from it no pecuniary aid in defraying cossury expenses. Wharton Barker was r backer. It may may not be entircly able, but the infovmation comes from pretty 1700d authority that he yave as much us 0,000 to the organization. Therefore Carroll and others, who were among the leaders in the movement, are anxious that he should recei some re. ward. They were so kindly received that Devoy undertook to exy to General Harrison that the members of the Irfsh-American protection organization felt that they were too young in th publican party to'expoct any ofiicial recognition, but it would afford them much gratfication if a representative American who bud been especially friendly to them, as well as to General Harrison himself, should be honored Ly the administration, General Harrison's reply is said to have been neither encouraging nor discouraging, and the inter- view ended with the callers feeling that if they had not accomplished much, they had done their friend no harm. 7T position that is desired for Mr, Harker 184 pretty high one. In fact, the visitors expressed doubt to their friends here if he would be disposed to accept anything below the treasury port- folio, 1t has been suggested, however, if he should not ve called into the cabinet, that there are strong reasons for the belicf that he would make a good minister to China, Indiana's Gubernatorial Vote.
