\VASHIVOTON , D. C. , Dec. fi. A beautiful
crisp winter day ushered in the second ses
sion of Hie Fifty-second congiess. The gal
leries of the house were well lilled long before -
fore the hour of assembling. The scene on
tbo lloor was a lively one. There were
mingled comlnlenecs and eongr.Uulatlons
nmorig the members. The democrats
gathered on their side of the house and In
dulged in a love feast. Handsome lloral
tributes adorned many desks. Sir. Springer
of Illinois was the center of attention on that
fiillO.

As the hands of the clock ixilntcd to tbo

congress to the llrst Monday of Slarch after
the election , which was referred and a recess
for half an hour was taken.
There were the usual scenes at the open
ing of the senate. The lloral tributes upon
the desks of the senators were about cvcnlv
divided between the democrats and republi
cans and moro profuse than ever before.
The attendance was large , numbering about
seventy Vice President Slorton called the

WASIIJNOION. D. C. , Dec. 5. As soon as the
Bcnato adjourned the republican senators
hold a caucus , but reached no conclusions. H
was thought that the anti-options bill would
bo a subject for some discussion , but it is
stated that it was not brought up at all. The
present composition of the committees was
discussed Im Identiillyi as were Iho two bills
for the admission of Iwo territories , Ari/.ona
and New Mexico , but no action was taken
und the caucus adjourned without really
accomplishing anything.
The necessity was made apparent that , as
ns the statehood .hills will bo vigorously
pressed by the democratic senators , for the
adoption of some uniform policy upon the
Bubject by the republican senators. At pres
ent many of them probably a majority are
opposed to the bill , the objections being os
tensibly based on the illiteracy of a large
part of the imputation of Arizona and New
SIcxico , the fact that many of the inhabi
tants are not Americanized , but speak only
the Spanish language , and lack of popula
tion.
tion.Back
Back of these objections lies the fact that
the two territories are now represented by
demoiratie delegates and might be expected
to send democratic senators to add to the
adverse inn unity in the senate during the
next congiess. There arc some republican
senators , however , who feel thai , if the new
states are admitted by Ihe act of a repub
lican senate mid pn .idtnt , they might bo
brought into the republican fold , while
to reject their appllcallun now , might
bo to sccnro their admission after
the 4th of Slarch by the democratic senate
mid hopelessly alienale the new states from
the republican parly. Some of the senators
from the newly admitted western states ,
notably Senator Dubols of Idaho , are of this
opinion , and besides they feel so grateful
at their own admission that they do not feel
disposed to act uncharitably toward the few
remaining territories. Tlio subject having
been fairly launched in tbo republican
caucus today cannot , in all probability , bo
withdrawn , and it is likely to form tho'lead-
hig topic for discussion at the next caucus.

lolning its right-of-way for wharves , piers ,

States to the title to submerged lands
iilong about two miles of take shore opposite
the business heart of Chicago , where the
governnicnl has spent large sums in the con

. allway was from an act of the slate legis-
ature in ISli'.l givliu : the railway the right of
A'lty over these submerged lamb ) to its
depot. Under this the road claimed title.
Justice Harlan , of the circuit court from
whoso judgment the road appealed , con
firmed the title of the company to the lands
occupied and reclaimed , but denied the rlu'ht
to tbo submerged lands In front of its right
of way. The supreme court , modifies this
decision , ordering an investigation as to
erlain pieis which the road has built , to
.Ictermiiio whether they are in navigable
water. H finds the title to these lands in the
state of Illinois. The opinion is concurred
In by Justices Field , Harlan , Lamar and

lives , immediate friends of the family and
former business associates of Sir. Gould
were admitted to the services , but many
persons attempted to gain admission to tbo
houso. offering nil sorts of pleas of ac
quaintanceship for the privilege. Out on
the avenue on both sUJes of the thoroughfare
hundreds of men and women stood for
hours in the bitter cold. The sidewalk in

dravtiug room. The face anil hust were
exposed to view , The eyelids were closed ,
the muscles of the face were in repose ami
though I be skin was white , almost trans-
paicnt , it lacked that swarthbicss which
was a striking feature of Sir. ( Jould's per

On free delivery the postmaster general
says : "The experiments have related to
villages , but it has been a daily service and
[ j t cleared a prolit. It is enough , therefore- ,
jf say that free delivery can be extended
f 'urlber ! and further , and it ought to be done
whether it pays a prolit to the department
or not.
"I believe fully as great advances could be
nado in the direction of country free do-
ivory by an evolution of the star route
service and we would see free delivery to
lersons living along highways traversed by
tar route contractors , with little. If any ,
Increased cost to the department , in a very
few years.1
Tlio postmaster general advocates the ex
tension of. the use of house postboxes ; the
livislim of the country into postal districts ;
Ihe establishment of a postal telegraph ami
postal telephone , and the permanent organ
ization of the department , except in the case
if the postmaster general and fourth assist
ant , with the creation of three iuw ofllces ,
lo-wit : a deputy postmaster general at New
York , a deputy postmaster general at San
Francisco and a controller at Washington.
All postmasters , " says the postmaster gen
eral , "and all employes in all branches
of Iho department , should have a specific
term of years , on good behavior , and their reappointment -
appointment would bo subject to the con
troller of the department , whose judgment
should bo based upon the records. 1 would
unify : the work , hold it up by a strong c.ou-
Irolling band , reduce the hours of labor at al
most all points ; equalize and advance pay ;
make promotions in every branch fur merit
alone l , and ret ire old , disabled clerks , perhaps
on a pension fund , to bo provided by the an
nual payment of one-half per cent of each

from HID ( illlru Sec'lrs. .
Nr.w YOIIK , Dec. 4. President-elect Grovcr
Cleveland returned from his hunting expedi
tion Ibis morning. Ho had scarcely llnished
his breakfast when Sirs. Cleveland arrived.
He supposed her to bo at Lakewood and in
tended to go there in a day or two. The very
first thing Sirs. Cleveland did was to de
mand that ho return with' her to Lakewood
by.the llrst train. Sirs. Cleveland insisted
that the olllco hunters and all other matters
could and must wait until domestic affairs of
far moro importance were attended to ,
namely , the renovation of Iho Lakewood cot
tage. Of course Sirs. Cleveland won , and
within six hours after Sir. Cleveland had en
tered his home he and his wife were on the
cars again , bound for the charming little
winter resort in New Jersey.
Until Saturday next , when Sir. Cleveland
must return hero for the lioform club din
ner , be will probably remain at Lakewood.
Soon after that Sirs. Cleveland intends to
inako n short/ trip to the west on a visit to
friends. On coining back everything will
be in tip-top shape at the cottage.
Sirs. Cleveland hurried the president-elect
away so suddenly that an olllccseeker had
not half a chance to see him today. There
were numerous callers at the Cleveland resi
dence during tlio day , but the stereotyped
answer was that-Sir. Cleveland was out ol
town.
As nearly as could be learned Sir. Cleve
land shot during his ten days outing ilftv-
seven ducks , nineteen brant and ii'U quail ,
three pheasants and a snipe. The president
elect used his gun on but seven days.
The president-elect , accompanied by
Sirs. Cleveland , arrived at Lakewood at fiio : ;
this afternoon. They wore quickly driven to
Kdgemer , Sir. Freeman's beautiful homo.
After dinner the Lakewood band , accom
panied by about HOOof the citi/cns , arrived.
Mr. Freeman came out with Mr. Cleveland ,
whom ho introduced to tlio people. Sir.
Cleveland bowed and returned to the parlor ,
reappearing with Sirs. Cleveland anil Baby
Uuth , whom ho introduced. The assemblage
responded with cheers.
Sir. Cleveland made a brief speech. Hi :
said : "It allords me great pleasure to meet
you all. 1 fed as if 1 knew you all already ,
having been a neighbor of yours last winter.
If you will form in line , it will bo a pleasure
for mo to shake bands with you. "
Amid a renewal of cheers a line was
formed , when Sir. Cleveland grasped the
hand of each person as ho passed.

Sirs. PuUlcsny lay and , linding signs

manded money. The poor woman , after
recovering her speech , told him where to

around her neck In a double coll. Ho twisted
it so tightly that the blood oo/ed from her
mouth. He then went after tbo treasure
and , when ho secured everything , left his
victim lying motionless on the lloor.
Fortunately one of the neighbors shortly
after discovered the prostrate form of the
woman and after considerable diillculty suc
ceeded in reviving her. Her assailant was
captured in a barn and 00 of tlio stolen
money found upon him. Ho refused to talk.
It Is feared the woman may die before mak

the prisoner is a desperate crook who ar-
rived in this country [ about a year ago. He-
fore leaving bis-native country ho had taken
the life of a countryman. Xho greatest ex

CincAfio , 111. , Dec. fi" The court house in
this city presented an unusual scene today.
As a result of the late landslide every out
going republican was succeeded by a demo
crat. The six judges of the superior court
and the two judges of the circuit court who
took their scats arc all democrats. The cor
oner , the recorder , the clerk of the circuit
and tbo clerk of the superior courts are all
of the same party. The new board of county
commissioners is composed of ten democrats
and llvo republicans. The llvo commission
ers , the sheritT and the county clerk are the
only republican oillcials left in power. There
was no election this year for Ihe last two
named ofilccrs.
The inauguration .of the new judges at
tracted much attention , especially that of
Judge Thomas G. Windes , who has been the
partner of Alexander Sullivan for more- than
thirteen years. Judge George C. Sugg is the
second German-American elevated to a
judgesbip in Chicago and his countrymen
show great prldo at his election. Judge
Philestein , the ilrst Hebrew ever elected to a
Jndgcship in Illinois , also got a hearty re
ception. Judge W. C. Kwing , next to Sir.
Windes , was a favorite with the bar. Ho
was United Stales district attorney under
President Cleveland and is a relative of
Vice President-elect Stevenson.

K IMK , Dec. f. . . [ Now York Herald Cabin
Special to Tun Hut : . ] The changes which
have conio about here within the last few
years arc strange. Whole quarters 1 formerly
knew have been destroyed , whole streets
have- been created ; new shops and theaters
confront me : papers are cried along the
Col'M ) by new names , and even the piazza dl
Colonua is not thould piazza. But the changes
that Impress me the most are those 1 found
within the church. The principal dogmas are
the same , but the priests and princes by the
score , have passed away , afid my gerarehla
has an unfamiliar look.
Last , but was not least , tho'polleyuf Homo
1ms changed. I left it Herman and Ihul it
French. The death of the great primate of
Africa will not affect this policy. Mgr. lus-
care will take up the work of Lavlgerie and
will do his best to make it fruitful. The
pope will not be turned from his new course
unmoved by the distrust with which the im-
nu'tiso majority of cardinals und a largo proportion -
portion or the French bishops view his Fran
cophile policy. Ho will give the ropuhllc his
friendship and political support until events ,
which may never happen , convince him that'
the chureh has more to lose than to gain by
by his so doing , '
Democracy on Trial.
It needs rare courage to persist in a plan
which hardly moro than three or four of the
cardinals pretend to approve. It is possible ,
if France does not respond moro warmly to
his good will than she has so far done , the
pope will grow dishartened and go back to
the less democratic course , which is openly
or secretly preferred by nine-tenths of the
sacred college.
Democracy will be tried first , though , and
tried thoroughly. His holiness , Cardinal
Hampolla , the able secretary of state ,
and Cardinal LedochoWski , the no less
able perfect of the 1'rop.ig.inda , have
resolved on that. It has still to be
seen whether their boldness will bo re
warded by success , as they believe , or
whether , as many earnest , high-minded pre
lates fear , they will be barren.
The creations expected at the next consis
tory will not do much to strengthen the bands
of the pope in this matter. Neither Slgr.
Clements nor Slgr. Kopp has very liberal
tendencies. Slgr. Vaszury is an ultramon
tane ; Slgr. Slelgnun and Slgr. Coule are not
supposed to bo over enthusiastic about re
publics ; and while Slgr. Persieo has devoted
himself to rendering valuable hwlp to Car
dinal Lcdochowski in his administrative du
ties at the propaganda , 1ms been careful to
avoid committing h'imself on the burning
subjects of the hour.
Tlm. ) Will Alii Him.
As wo were reminded by the death of Lav-
igcrie , the pope has already outlived moro
than eighty-eighty cardinals since he sue-
ceeded Pins IX. Despite the sensational re
ports current , Dr. Ceeearclli assures he is
well and lit.
Before the next conclave meets the feel
ing of the sacred college with regard to
France in particular and democracy in a gen
eral way will have been curiously modilied.
Time is a great ally and a great enemy in
Home.
The promotion of Mgr. Pcrsico to
the dignity of a cardinnhito will
involve the appointment of : i new
secretary at the propaganda. SIgr.
Ciasca , who istosueccedhim , isanAugustin-
inn monk of bookish tastes , who has not yet
been tried in an administrative position.
Until he has had time to master his duties
Cardinal Lcdochowshi will doubtless bo
more tlian equal to the tremendous responsi
bilities attached to the task of rating the
church in the so-called missionary countries.
The choice of the famous Polish prelate
for the present post caused some
surprise and u little nervousness * at
the time , for Mgr. Lodochowski had
had a troubled past. Ho had played n
part in some of the most dramatic episodes
of the kulturkampf. It was fancied ho had
retrograde views , and to crown all , he was a
foreigner. Hut in this , as in various other
cases , the wisdom of the papal choice has
been shown. The now prefect bad not been
long lit his post before ho had won the ad
miration and respect of the propaganda by
his acts of ndmlnlstruiivo skill. His modern
spirit has been proven by his attitude In the
French question , and his seusn of moderation
established by his dealings with the clergy
in Ireland and America , like Cardinal
1'arocchi and the Into Cardinal Howard , ho
is an accomplished linguist , speaking French ,
( iornmn , Italian and Polish with equal facil
ity. IIo has solved the knotty problem of
combining snaviter in mode with fortilcr in
re. In word , ho is popular.

An American gentleman hailing from tbo
west was lately admlttoi io one of these
audiences , After blessing the stranger ,
his children , sisters aunts , medals

asked what moro hu could do to

"Blesi this , holy father , " ho exclaimed ,
clutching the jjopo's hand and promptly
prcstlng it against a small edition of the
still's and stripes which ho 1mil sown on his

"I will with all my heart , " said the pope ,
smiling , though ho vvus rather titartlud by

Where Is Clara Allen ?
That is a problem of which a good many
people endeavored to Ibid a solution yester
day , but so far their efforts have resulted in
a signal failure to locate the woman whoso
testimony is most relied on to convict Dick
Berlin and Charles iin.\n of the alleged mur
der of Mayor Sillier on the llrst Tuesday in
October.
And thereupon hinges the more important
query. Did Clara Allen tell the truth'when '
she swore that she saw Charley Hays llrothn
fatal shot , or did she perjure her soul for
money ] t and In the hope of gaining a few pal
try dollars utter a lie that for all she knew
might mean death lethe _ two men who nro
on trial forlheir lives ? * *
Knew Slie U'lls liiilug.
She 1ms dis-ippcarcd as completely as
though she had never lived , and the pollco
and other interested parties who searched ii
vain for some trace of her whereabouts dur
ing yesterday afternoon and evening believe
that she has quietly folded her tent and left
for more congenial climes. She Is not to bo
found nt any of the low dens of vice which
she has haunted during her stay in the city ,
and as far as can be ascertained no one has
seen her since she left the police court room
at ( i o'clock Saturday afternoon. Has she
'
seclu'ded herself as the result of a natural
desire to escape the publicity attendant
upon the p.irt she is playing in n game in
which two men's lives arc at stake , or is it
because she is afraid to remain and face the
subsequent developments which might
brand her as a perjurer and consign her to
the unwelcome solitude of a prison cell ! A.
chain of circumstances as unraveled by a ,
Br.i : reporter seem to point to the latter con
clusion.
It would appear that her sudden flight , if
llight it is , was not unpremeditated. At the
hearing in police court Saturday she told '
several of her associates in vice that she
was iroing to leave town the lirst of the
week and was going to her old home in Iowa.
Durinjf the afternoon Deputy SherllT Thomp
son called at the bagnio kept by Slay
Dysiuger at Ml Dodge street , \ \ here she has
stayed for the past two months and told the
landlady to have Sliss Allen's baggagu
packed and an expressman would call for it
Alonday.
"I don't know whether it will ho in tbo
day or night , " he added , "but he sure and
have it ready when we want it. "
The baggage was never called for and this
is the only circumstance that antagonizes
the theory of the Allen woman's flight.
Unit I lie Woman Keen i : < > tiIil.
Kvidcnee hns.nccimiulaled during the past
few days that tends to show almost con
clusively that the testimony of Clara Allen
was induced by the liberal reward that was
offered for evidence that would convict
the alleged murderers of Mayor Sillier , and
this fact furnishes a most potent motive for
her sudden and mysterious disappearance.
While on the witness stand the Allen woman
claimed that she bad told Hattie Davis , an
other inmate , of the occurrence at the time
lla.\s 11 red the shot. Sliss Davis was put on.
the stand , but failed to corroborate thu
statement and was excused without further
questioning. Since then she has told a story
which , if true , shows the story of Clarti
Allen to bo false in u\er.\ particular , and two
other witnesses testify to the truth of her
statements. She si.\s ; in so many words that
Clara Allen offered licrriH ( ) to swear to the
same story Unit thu other afterwards told
upon , the witness stand and that she in
dignantly refused the oiler.
The Allen woman was unable to read or
write , and Sliss Davis was in the habit oC
writing her letters-for her. In this way they
became somewhat confidential , and the
Miller case was at times the subject of con
versation. In reply to n scries of questions ,
Miss Davis said that one day about three
weeks ago Clara Allen came into her room
and asked her to write a letter to n friend.
The request was compiled with and then her
visitor said that she had something import
ant to say.
( Illered lint Hull.
' , 'Do ' you want to make n lot of money ? "
said the latter.
The Davis woman inquired how it could
ho done and Allen answered that If she
would swear that she saw Hays shoot at
Sillier she. would get * , M)0 ) , uhil
there would ho no danger. Kim refused
the offer anil nolhlnif moro was said. Slisn
Davis said that tbo conversation had been
overheard by May Johnson , another inmate ,
and Prank Khroedcr of Smith Omaha who
was In the bouse at the time.
May Johnson was ecn and corroborated
thu other woman's story in eM-ry particular.
She said that the convcrsatiun took plncu
three weeks ago yesterday. She remembered
that , because she always noticed when u
woman came into her house nn Monday ; because - -
cause It brought had luck.
The man Shroeder wim also found , but was
not iiHcnmmnnicaUvcns the women. Ho had
not been mixed up in the case so far and did
not \\.int to be. Ho said ho bad heard the
Alh-n woman tell Htitllo Davis thai she
could make ? * r > 00 by telling Un < same Htory
that she was going to , but refused to say
anything further.
