g IGHTEENTH YEAR. SWAIM WILL BE PARDONED. And Retired to Make a Place for a Democratic Politician. b ANOTHER CABINET CANDIDATE. Judge R, W. Hughes, of Virginia, Spoken of As a Fit Representa- tive of the South—Extra Sersion Talk, WasmiNGTON BUREAL 513 Fouw Wiy 1t is no disrespect (he army that convened Judge Advocate General Swaim to state that, although that of said under oath this afternoon he was not unable to perform the dutics of his office, and was willing to perform them if he was pardon by the president, he will be found incapacitated, pardoned and placed on the retired list, barring unforseen incidents, 1t has been de- qeed that General Swaim shall ve retired fo Lwo reasons: 1. To make a pl n. 2. To swmooth the conscicnces of those who were responsible for placing him in the position he mnow occupies. So points will be stretched to meet the exi- gencies. It has been common comment among all classes here ever since General Swain was found guilty by a court martial of “conduct unbecoming an officer and a gentlenan” in not paying a deficit in his stock speculation aceount with a brother, that if he were guilty he should have been dismissed from the army, and, it innotent, ncquitted. It was one of those cases where the accused could not have been a “‘modi fled” culprit, ‘There are all sorts of stovies m eireulation about who will be appointed to the vacancy if General Swaim is retired. It is not believed that cither Generals Black or Rosencrans is elizible, inasmuch as the for- mer is drawing a pension for total disability and the latter has just had a bill reported favorably i both houses of congress to place him on the retired list of the army. Thus both arc made cligible to the retired list be- fore they could reccive the appoint- ment The semate would undoubtedly refuse to confirm the nomination of Black or Rosencrans on political if on no othor grounds. Black is responsible for many of President Cleveland’s vicious, and abusive pension vetoes, and Rosenérans abused General Grant around the nalis of congress in the vilest language tongue can utter, Both believe no good could come from republi nd hence it would be stultitication fc senate to con- firm the nomination of either of them. ANOTHER CARINET CANDIDATE, Judge R. W. Hughes, of the United court for the eastern district of Vir who is spoken of favorably in Virginia and other parts of the south, ns a fit reprosenta tive of the south in President Harrison’s cabinet, is not now nor never has been_con- nected in any degree with any of the feuds or with cither of the factions in his party in his state. The judge is one of the few ex confederates who turned republican after the war, who is believed by the people of his state to have turned from principlo, and not for pelf, and who therefore has retained their confidence and respect. He was once the editor of the Washington Union, the accredited organ of the national democracy, and subsequetly of the Richmond Examiner, with which be remained until it and Richmond and the confederacy went down together. ¥rom the hour of the down- fall of the confederacy the judge has devoted all his energies to the work of reconciliating the people of the two once hostile sections, and should he be appointed, his friends sy he will be enabled to accomplish more in that line than would be possible for uny other one man. EXTHA SESSION TALK. On the ground that the democrats do not want an extra session, the passage of the bill preventing an extra session of the Rifty-first congress, it is believed, will be reported from the committee on appropriations, If it is re- ported it will be passea by botfi houses. Mr. Randall, chairman of “the uppropriations committee, is embarrassed by the situation, and he may wait till the senite tariff bill is received by the committce on ways and means, before he takes up the free tobacco bill. Meanwhile the demoeratic members of the latter committce are swearing at tho house for not referring the free tobacco bill to them, knowing at the same time that it is notorious that they would not have taken action upon it, and that that was the reason it was sent to the appropriations committec. THE PADDOCK MUSICAL Senator and Mr. Paddock entertained at a musicale last night a chosen 500 of their friends. Besidess their own spacious suite of apartments at the Portland, th had the use of another suite adjoining that of Mr. and Mrs. John Olmsted. " T'he gucsts began to assemble shortly after 9 o'clock and did_not separate until long after mid- night. The rooms were all decked with flowers, and the connecting halls made a convenient and pleasant promenade, Here and there in quict corners within easy uccess, Mrs. Puddock’s thoughtfulness had placed large bowls of iced punch, Senator Paddock eceived their friends in the drawing rooms. They were assisted in welcoming thel guests by Senator and Mrs. Manderson, and the latter’s sister, Mrs. Matherson, and Miss Pgddock. Mrs, Adock’s gown was of pald heliotrope brocade, effectively trimmed in black lace. Miss Paddock wore olive crepe and velvet, with bangled tulle, Mrs, Manderson wore light tan faille and beaded tulle, and Mrs. Matherson wore au sait faille pnd gauze, do in gt A musical programme of a half dozen nnmbers, cluding plano duets and violincello solos and the rendition of several songs by Miss Metzger, of this city, and Madame Biro, was lengthened by the repeated encores until half the evening wus passed. The perform- ers were all artists of local reputation. There were interwissions when everybody talked, or stroiled to the supper room, where an abundant bot and cold collation with ics champagne was enjoyed, Senators and their fawilios are always loyal to each other's hos- pitulities. Naturally, therefore, the upper house was largely represented in the company. among others whose well known musical tastes, in addition to his friendliness would have brought to the gathering, was Senator Palmer, who only left the mu: rocm long enough 0 get an ice for the pretty and clever young lady ne escorted, Miss Lucy Corkhill, grand duughter of Justice” Miller, Pheae were also present Senator and Mrs. Sherman and Miss Sherman, Sena- tor and Mrs. Quay, Sevator snd Mrs, Chandler, Mrs, Daniel, Senator Dolph, Sena- tor aud Mrs, Davis, Senator Morrell, Sena- tor and Mrs. Reagan, Senator and Mrs, Vance, Senator and Miss Voorhees, Mrs, Justice Miller, General and the Misses Wheeler, Mr. and Mrs. Lamar jr., Mrs, and the Misses Butler, Representative und Mrs, Burrows, Mrs. and the Misses Darlington, Lepresentative and Mrs. McAdoo, Miss Fuller and Miss Maude Fuller, daughters of the chief justice; Representative and Miss Herbert, Delegate and Mrs. Voorhees, the ;’lllmvl, Minister and Dr. Yow, Dr. and Mrs. flint.

Wasnxarox, Jan, 17.—This morning the senate sub-committee on finunce, n charge of the tariff bill, received delegations of- car pet and woolen manufacturers and wool growers, the former of whom desired cortain modifications in_the wool schedule tending to a reduction of some duties, while the wool growers wanted stiil additional du tics levied. The views at time were widely divergent and expressed with much vigor. Senator Sherman proposed the following amendment to the bill, wh h manufac- turers now have under consideration and will exvress their opinion upon before the committee to-morrow: Amena_paragraph 314 to read as follows: *Tho duty on v of the first and third classes which shall bo imported washed shall be twice the amount to which they would be subjected if imported unwashed. The duty upon wools of the so ond class, which shall be imported washed, shall be 5 cents per pound additional to the duty to which they would be subjected if im Do 1 unwashed. Washed wools aredetined to be such as are washed in cold water on the backs of sheep. The duty on wools of this class which shall be imported scoured shall be three times the duty to which they would be subjected if impovted “unwashed. Al wools which, wheu impor tain less than 12 per cent of weig! ofgrease, dirt or other foreign suabstance of matter, shall be classified as’ scoured wool and pay duty accordinely.” Before they left the room some of the man- ufagturers asserted that such an amenduient meant practical destruction to their indus tries, and that as against it they would work for free wool.

[Copyright 1889 by James Gordon Bennett.) Pants, Jan, 17.—[New York Herald Cable —Special to Tng Bes|—The publication of the Homans' story in the Paris edition of the Herald caused great excitement, es- pecially among the Americans. Mrs. Ho mans is much excited, so is the Italian prince, who talks abont a duel. Mrs. Ho mans was scen yesterday in her elegant apartments overlooking the Are de Triompe. She is indeed a beautiful woman, and her ac- cont shows her ercolo origin. She was in tears and hysterics, but composea herself in & surprisingly short time and told the Herald correspondent that she was the vietim of a horrid intrigue of her husband’s children by his first wife. She denied breaking into his room in Brussels, and said that Mr. Homans was willing that she should be there and that his family was trying to blacken her name, in order to_obtain all the property. “Excusing my frankness, but is there no more delicate reason?” 1 asked. “I do not deny my guilt. For several rs 1 have had a lover, but before I took a S EXPLANATIOY, | step Thad given Mr. Homans solemn warn- ing that such was my intention, and what is more, Mr. Hemans knew perfectly well during those years that [ had a love You ask me how such a thing is possible. I will tell you. They have not spared me, nmor will I now spare them. It was because there was a ghastly skeleton in the inner life of the fam- ily.

Finding my love- for an unloving husband growing cool, I made my first step in the wrong direction. 1 did this almost without concealment.” “Butif Mr. Homans tolerated this liason s0 long, why did he flually denounce it and —" “Beeause he had been influenced against me 50 by the intrigues of his family as to wishi to leave his money to them and not to me. He therefore looked upon a divoree simply as a means of severing his financial obligations to me.” Mrs. Homans' daughter, by her first hus- band, a beautiful girl of nineteen, listened to her mother's edifying remarks during the cenversation. THE MARITIME CONFERENCE. Certain Statements From Washing- ton Said to Be Unfounded. [Copyright 1889 by James Gordon_Tennstt.] Loxpoy, Jan. 17.—[New York Herald Cable—Special to Tne Bee.|—A statement having been made here to the effect that Sec- retary Bayard had recallea the invitations which he had addressed to various gov ment officials to take part in the international maritime conference, “‘owing to certain de- mands made by Great Britain,” T thought it right to ascertain for vou the exact f from the very best authority. Whether or not Bayard has recalled the invitations is, of course, better known in Washington than in London, but I am able to give explicit con- tradiction to the statement that Great Brit- has made any demands of a nature to throw obstacles in the way of the proposed conference project original in an act of congress, and no ob- jection was made with a view of deciding certain questions connected with the rules at sea, lights, and other matters relative to the practical work of navigation. To such points alone was the action of the confercnce to be contined. That has been well under- stood on all sides, When, however, action had proceeded a little further 1t found cer- tain dificulties with regard to the applica- tion of principles likely to be discussed. Great Britain, as the possessor of the great- est mercantile marine in the world, could scarcely by called upon to accept proposals which might have the effect of interfering with the ordinary course of trade, There has not been any disagrecment dbe- tween the two governments on the sub- ject. No ‘‘demands” have been made on one side or rejected on the other. It is found in effcct that the conference was impractic- able, and if held could lead to no useful re- sults for the present. Therefore it is in abeyance, but T am assured that the British government is perfectly willing at any time to discuss an arrangement with a view to the safety of vessels at sea, or any other question of interest to the powers, which are engaged 1n carrying on international com- mer If the conference provided for by the act of congress breaks down 1t simply will be owing to the fact that the scheme would not work, and that practical men speedily recognized the fact when it came to be closely examined. The statement made by correspondents at Washingtou, therefore, are much exag- gerated, if not wholly unfounded. A MEMBER OF PARLIAMENT, - THE PARNELL COMMISSION, Some Correspondence With Re ence to the Land Agitation. Loxnox, Jan, 17.—In the cross-examina- tion of Patrick Delaney before the Parnell commission, the witness persisted in declar- ing that he saw Boyton point out to Invinei ble Brady the chairman of the prison board, Bourke, for assassination, Attorney Web. ster showed a correspondence betwecn Matt Harris and Michael Davitt with refere nce to the land agitation. The only letter that at- tracted interest was one from Davitt to Har- ris, written in New York, in which Davitt say “:Perhaps you are not aware that John O'Leary is licre. He came from Paris {0 up- set wy land league endeayors, He will go back @ wiser, though sadier, man. He 'is supported by nobody save tha bosthoons fol- lowing that blantant ass, Rossa. The na- tionalists on this side are common sense men. Rossa will achieye more success upon your side than upon this, He is & cowardly ruftian, who has ot the courage to resent the insult I offered him in the Herald. He has not sufiicient courage to set fire to @ British haystack. Do your utmost to keep the peo ple within bounds.” Justice Hannen asked it the lotters of Par. nell woald be shown to the Parnellite coun ain sel. Attorney General Webster refused to be pinned to a definite time for the producing of the letters, SRR Bismarck's A . Loxpoy, Jan, 17.—[Special Cablogram to Tue Bee.l—The Pall Mall Gazette, com- wmenting upon the Geffcken affair, says: “‘The avimus of Prince Bismarck agaivst MORNING, Prof. Geffcken is of long standing. n | cars ago, at 4 social Mmeeting, in unreserve after dinner, Prof. Geffoken delivered an ex travagant diatribe, declaring Bismarck had not one single noble teait of character and was without trace of kindness, The words were noted down in Bismarck's black book. The whole affair recalls the story of Haman and Mordecal.

Substauce of a Bill Introduced in the 'linois Legislature. SeriNeriend, 1, Jan, 17.—Among the bills introduced in the house to-day was one providing that if a member or members of any corporation doing business in the state shall create, enter into or become a member or party to any trust, pool or agreement: of like nafure to fix the prices of any commodity whatever, such members or corporations shall be deemed guilty of conspiracy to de fraud aund be subject to indictment and pun isiment as criminals. The penalty is fixed at imprisonment in the penitentiary for not less than one nor more than five y and the corporation shali forfeit its charter or license. Any persons or corpdration injured by such trust may suc for and recover double the amount of damages suffered. The bill introduced in the house by Mr, Jones, amending the general election law, embodies practically the Australian system, and is nearly the same as that now in foree n Massachusetts, and applies to natio state, judicial, county and municipal elec tions. The bill introdueed by Representative Hurst, also amending the election law, like- wise introduces the Australian systew, but with several amendments. It provides, among other things, that conventions or lcuses representing a political party poll- ing 8 per cent of the vi st in - the district in_which the nomination is made ¥ nominate candidates and certify fact to the election ofticers. The nomination of candidates to be voted for by the state ¢/ nomina- tion pape; 3 an 1000 qual- ified voters of the state. For electoral dis- tricts they may be made by similar nomina- tion pupers, which tust in no case have less than fifty names. A voter who shows his hallot after preparing it in a secret compart- ment so as to let it be seen ' how he is voting, or makes false statement of inability to mark his ballot, or a man who tries to induce a voter to show that he has had a marked ballot, shall be fined from £5 10 £100. Penalties are also provided for persons who falsely make nomination cer- tificates or destroy any that have been made, or who destroy ballots or delay their deliv- cry. Public officers who wilfully neglect the performance of their duty are liable to a fine of from §1,000 to §5,000, or imprisonment m jail for a year or both. e THE DAKOTA LEGISLATURE. A Fightin the Council Which Bodes 11 For Church. Biswanrck, Dak., Jan. 17.—[Special Tele- gram to Tur Bee.|—A novel fight is now boing waged in the council, the higher branch of the Dukota islature. When the council was organized a combination was formed in the interest of Smith Stimmel, who was elected president, but owing to the fact that he has not given the members of the combination satisfaction, there is a movement on foot to depose him and reor- ganize the body, distributing the impor- tant committees’ among the leaders of the new deal. The disorganizers held a secret caucus last night and it is expected the final break will be made some time next week. This revolutionary action will take with it all the important railroad aud telegraph leg- islation, and will work to the disadvantage of Governor Churel, who is one of the tar- ets for the republicans who are dissatis- fied. The legislature will leave by special train for Grand Forks to-morrow to visit _the ter- ritorial university at that point. Owing to the approach of statehood the old scetional issues which have kept the territory in a stato of warfare for many years are dead, and the only thing to be guarded agamst now is extravagant appropriations.
