In fact it has been ar Sued by some of the deputies that the resignation of the Presidency by M. Faure is. a part of SL bourgeois’ plans. The two chambers would have to meet as the national assembly to elect A new president. M. bourgeois be lieves that he could control the na tional assembly as one body, though as two chambers, the Senate is against him. Jle would, it is said, endeavor to secure amendments to the constitu tion from .the national assembly which would put the cabinet beyond fear of harm from .the Senate alone and make it accountable to the depu ties, after which M.

International Arbitration Men Complete Tbelr Uaslnnss. Washington, April 25_The confer ence for international arbitration, which has been a very harmonious one, closed last night with a mass meeting in Allen’s opora house, in the course of which President Eliot, oi Harvard, severely arraigned the for eign policy of President Cleveland and his fellow townsman. Secretary Olncy. The personalities, which Pres ident Eliot uttered in cool, measured terms, were so pointed that they in cited a decided sensation. Some applause followed these re marks, but there was great applause when Bishop Keane, rector of the Catholic University, who spoke next, began; “I am not here to blame the President or Congress. 1 don’t believe it is our purpose or our right to blame either of them. Hut we, as American citizens, are free to say that it is a pity that things are as they are, com pelling the President and Congress to talk of war with another civilized nation. ” The report of the committee on res olutions and a general discussion thereon was the business of the after noon session. President Angel of the University of Michigan presented the report, which, after a lengthy pre amble, resolves: First—That in the judgment of this conference, religion, humanity and justice, as well as the material inter ests of civilized society, demand the immediate establishment between the Upited States and Great Britain of a permanent system of arbitration. Second—That it is earnestly recom mended to our government, so soon as it is assured of a corresponding dis position ou the part of the British government, to negotiate a treaty pro viding for the widest practicable application of the method of arbitra tion to international controversies. A. P. A. FIGHT BLAND. 81* Wife a Cttliullo, Which Prompts the Opposition. St. Louis, Mo., April 25.—Every in dication points to a bitter fight on ‘•Silver Dick” Bland in the event of an effort being made in the Chicago con vention to nominate him for the pres idency of the United States. It has leaked out that Mrs. Bland is a devout member of the Catholic Church, and has. raised her children in that faith. The opposition to the nomination of the great 10 to 1 silver apostle will come from the members of the A. P. A. Bland is not a member of the church, and is inclined to be liberal in his views of religion. An author itative announcement that the A. P. A. would fight Bland’s nomination and election was given to a reporter by Judge Stevens, State president of the order for Missouri, and member of the national executive board. , B. & O. SHORTAGE. Three and One-Half Million Dollar* Spent for Political Purposes. New Yobk, April 25.— It is asserted that the books of the Baltimore and Ohio Railway show that 83,500,000 has been taken from the treasury and spent far political purposes. It is proposed to find out who got the money. To do this it is stated that it will be necessary to investigate the matter of the construction of Iho Phil adelphia division of the road, the cost of which has never been made known to the general stockholders, but which lias been variously estimated from Si i,000,000 to 520,000,000, and it is pre dicted that when the report of the manner in which the Baltimore and Ohio obtained an entrance into Phil adelphia is made known some very prominent politicians of that city will have reason to wish that those who are now directing the affairs of the Baltimore and Ohio had never reached that position. BOOTH-TUCKER SLUMMING The Distinguished Salvationist Knock* Ont Two Bowery Toughs. New York, April 25.—Commander Booth-Tueker of the Salvation army went “slumming” on the East Side with one companion Wednesday night. They were partially disguised by shabby apparel. Early yesterday morning they entered a Bowery “barracks” where 100 hammocks were swung in a comparatively small room, engaged accommodations for the night and were soon asleep. The commander disturbed the other inmates by his snoring and was -plodded with a pin by one of them. The distinguished Salvationist re taliated with a blow and a fight fol lowed in which two of the Boweryites were knocked out. The commander’s prowess won the admiration of the spectators and a general reconcilia tion and handshaking concluded the incident. _ Iltmetalllc Conference.

QUAY'S A CANDIDATE, FRIENDS WILL BOOST HIM FOP PRESIDENT. H« It tho Favorite Son of Pennsylvania Republicans—Denominated t Typo ol American Cltlsen. Soldier and States man—International Bimetallism Fa vored—St. Louis Delegates. Quay Is In ttie Field. Harrisburg, Pa., April 24.—Senator Quay left for Washington at 9:l0 this morning, resisting the importunities of his friends that he remain until after tho Iiepublican State convention. While ho was here ho was continually besieged by visitors and it was neces sary for him to hide himself in order to obtain rest, His action in deciding to succeed himself as state chairman robbed to-ilay’s convention of much of its interest. It is generally believed, however, that ho will relinquish the chairmanship after tho national con vention. There was nothing for Mr. Quay to do,for the delegates held a caucus'last night and agreed upon the lists of names as follows: Delegates at large, Governor Hast ings, James Elverson, publisher of the Philadelphia Inquirer; F. J. Torrence of Pittsburg, James U. Beacom of Greensburg, the Rev. Dr. T, L. Flood of Meadville; Joseph Bosler of Mont gomery county, William M. Griest of Lancaster, F. H. Barker of Ebensburg. All of the men slated for delegates to the St. Louis convention are friend ly to Senator Quay’s Presidential as pirations, , The delegates were slow in gather ing and it was not until 10:25 o'clock that the representative of Mr. Quay called the convention to order. Two conspicuous absentees were David Martin and State Senator Charles A. Porter of Philadelphia, who had been prominent figures at Republican gath erings for more than twenty years. After permanent organization had been perfected, the resolutions com mittee reported the platform, which opens as follows: “For fidelity to the principles of Republicanism, Pennsyl vania holds the first rank among all the States. Year after year it has returned great majorities for the can didates of that party, with no selfish demands for recognition of any of its' own citizens as a national candidate. The time has come when the State which has so long and faithfully led the Republican column may justly and properly submit its own preference for the Republican nomination for ths presidency. In the presentation of the Hon. Matthew Stanley Quay, the Republicans not alone of Pennsylva nia, but of the entire Union, will rec ognize one of their foremost leaders, wise in council and brilliant and able in action, at once the typev of the American citizen, scholar, soldier and statesman.” i ne resolutions declare lor a pro tective tariff and reciprocity, protec tion lor American shipping, praise the financial legislation of tho Republican party ana _ continue: “Faithful to its record, believing that the people are entitled to the use of the best money and anxious to restore and preserve the industrial and commercial pros perity of the unioD, the Republican party favors international bimetal lism, and, until that can be established by general agreement, demands the maintenance of the existing gold standard of value.” Liberal pensions are called for and the present administration of the pen sion bureau denounced. Restrictions on immigration are demanded and the state committee’s reform bills in dorsed. SECTARIAN SCHOOLS. No Appropriations to Bo Hade After Mf 1, 18BS. Washington, April 24.—The Senate disposed of the sectarian school ques tion by adopting a compromise framed by Senator Cockrell of Missouri. The Indian bill, as it came from the House, provided that “no money herein ap propriated shall be paid for education in sectarian schools.” This provision is struck out by the Cockrell amend ment as adopted and it is declared to be the settled policy of the govern ment to make no appropriations for sectarian schools after July 1, 1898, thus giving two years for the abandon ment of sectarian schools, instead of an immediate abandonment. The amendment was adoDted by the de cisive vote of 38 to 24. Tho Indian bill whs not completed w-lien the Sen ate adjourned. The detailed vote is as follows: Yeas—Republicans: Carter, Chand ler, Elkins. Ilansbrough, Hawley, Mc Millan, Mantle. Nelson, Pettigrew, Sewall and Sherman—11. Democrats: liacon.

Washington, April 34.—The House military affairs committee has recom mended the passage of a bill for the relief of the heirs of recruits for the Fourteenth Kansas cavalry, who were killed by Qunntrell’s band at Law rence, Kan., August 21, 1863. These men numbered seventeen. The report of Major Beam, the recruiting officer, tells the story of the massacre. Cared for by Jails Marlows. St. Louis, Mo., April 24.—John Brough, the shoemaker who claims Actress Julia Mario we-Taber as his daughter, is now in Cincinnati living in comfort. During the last visit of Julia Marlowe-Taber to St. Louis a local paper published an account of the career of the old man. At the close of the week a well dressed man appeared at his place and not long afterward, it is said, bundles of cloth ing, a new crutch and other articles arrived for him. Soon afterwards he 6aid that he was going to his former home in Cincinnati and left the city. BELLIGERENT CONGRESSMEN. Representatives Hall • t Missouri ant Money of Mississippi Have a Uvelj Encounter. Washington, April 54. — Congress man Money, Democrat, Senator-elect from Mississippi, and Congressman Hall, Doraoorat, of Missouri, had a personal encounter la the room of the' committee on ■na val affairs to-day and Mr. Money was hit in the face by Mr. Hall and was then struck by an inkwell hurled by the Missourian and badly cut on the head. Mr. Hall was not touched. Mr. Money and Mr. Hall are both members of the natal committee, but the committee was not in session at the time. Felix McCloskey, the messenger of the committee, was standing at the door, heard the two members talk ing rather loudly anil then heard Mr. Hall say: “I’ll allow no man to call me a liar.” Then McCloskey saw the Missourian reach over and plant his fist in Mr. Money’s face, staggering him and raising a lump. Mr. Hall is a man of large stature, standing six feet two and weighing /50 pounds. Mr. Money is also tail, but rather slender in build, and no match for his opponent physically. Before Mr. Money could recover himself, Mr. Hall seized a large glass ink well from the table and hurled it at his opponent.: The latter, already dazed, could not dodge the missile, and it struck him behind the ear, cut ting an ugly gash, and ho fell back against the wall. At this juncture McCloskey, who had been making his way toward the Irate congressmen, crowded between them and prevented further on slaughts, but Mr. Hall was with dif ficulty repressed from continuing the assault. Mr. Money stood against the wall, faint from loss of blood, which was streaming down his neck from the wound in his head. He was hnrriedly taken to a committee room on the floor below, while Mr. Hail walked calmly along the corridor to the hall of the House. " The blood from Mr. Money’s wound dropped on the marble floor as he was half carried down the steps, and a great crowd immediately congregated and there was much excitement. The details of the cause of the en counter wore bard to obtain. Mr. Hall, when seen immediately after the fight. Said that he did not desire to makep statement. “It was a per sonal matter,” said he, “and I do not desire to say anything. I do not sup pose Mr. Money, either, will dare to make a statement Mr. Wilson, a member of the sub-committee, was present” ' From others who were In the room It was learned that Hall and Money were arguing earnestly on the naval restoration bill, in which Hall is con siderably interested, as to the proper ranking in naval circles, and after Hall had delivered himself of an opinion he was heatedly replied to, whereupon he said that many of those who were opposed to the bill did not believe in the views they advocated. This angered Mr. Money, and taking the remark as a personal Insult he nailed Mr. Hall a “d-liar. ” Then the fracas followed. The occupants of the room, know ing the shooting proclivities of the Money family, expected to see him draw a revolver, hut he was probably too much stunned by the blow to col lect his senses before friends had him in eharge. Further trouble between the two men is expected, for the reputation of the Money family is that no one of its members ever allowed a blow or an insult to go unresented. A friend of Mr. Money who was in the room said: “Mr. Money was look ing over his mail when Hall entered and began discussing a bill before the committee relating to the rank of naval engineers. Mr. Money took part in the discussion, and though his voice was pitched as it usually is in controversial tone, he was in nowise excited. Mr. Money made a state ment that the surgeons were after both rank and command. ‘No,’ he added, smilingly, ‘I take that back; not command, but rank.’ ‘Any man who says that,’ said Mr. Hall, angrily, 'says what is not true.’ ‘You are a d- liar,’ retorted Mr. Money, partly rising from his chair. Mr. Money rose to his feet and Mr. Hall grabbed an ink well and hurled it at him. The blow behind the ear staggered him. Mr. Money, though staggered, also clutched an ink well and let it drive at Mr. Hall’s head, but the Missourian dodged and the missile flew harmlessly by and struck the wall opposite. Had it struck Mr. Mall I believe it would have brained him. The two men then made for each other. Moth of them made mo tions as if to draw their weapons. Mr. Wiison of New York, a member of the naval committee, who was present with the messenger and clerk, then rushed between the men and Drcvent ed further trouble.” ADJOURNMENT IN MAY. Republican Senator* Anxious to Get Through With Work. Washington. April 2*. — The Repub lican Senators held a brief caucus to day for an exchange of vievrs on the subject of 6ual adjournment and or der of business before adjournment. Mr. Chandler suggested that adjourn ment ought to be possible by May It), and was supported in this opinion by an almost unanimous vote of the caucus. Mr. Sherman was authorized, as chairman of the caucus, to appoint a steering committee of nine to take charge of the details of the order of business, in case it should be found possible to consider other than the appropriation bills. FRENCH CABINET FALLS. The Premier Announce* the Submission of the Ministers to the Senate. Pabis April 2*. —The resignation oi the Bourgeois ministry was announced by the premier immediately upon the reconvening of the chamber of depu ties to-day. He read a statement con testing the right of the senate to over throw a ministry or to be the sole interpreter of the constitution, but he added that, in view of the impossi | bility of securing proper military re liefs for Madagascar, the cabinet was I compelled to resign. 'HOT CAMPAIGN BEGUN DEMOCRATIC SOUND klOWEY MEN ACTIVE. * 7 Indiana, Ohio and llllnol* Not Solid for Silver—Goodly Portion of tha Dele gate* From Each State llelleved to he In Accord With the Administration— Some o^ the Missouri Delegates Ac knowledged to be Against the Cleve land Regime. Sound Money Men Busy. Washington, April 23.—Tins Demo cratic sound monjy bureau, recently opened here, has received most en couraging advices from Democratie leaders of sound judgment, and, basing their estimates on these re ports, the managers of the bureau claim that the sound money men will have at least twenty delegates from Ohio, twelve fromlndiuna and sixteen from Illinois. Until now the sound, money men have in their estimates of probable strength in the convention conceded Illinois and Indiana entire to the free silver side One of the most interesting bits of information given oat by the sound money men is that four of the Missouri district dele gates elected at Sedalia ate not of the radical 10 to 1 order, hut are conserv ative, and will be ready to meet the sound money side in a compromise. Senator Brice announced yesterday that ho proposed to go to the Chicago convention to fight the free silver men of Ohio. While Senator Gorman still pro poses to remain away from the con vention, there is a very general belief that ex-Secretary Whitney has, like Senator Brice, been prevailed upon to attend. Not ouly Is the administration bringing into line the best and strong est sonnd money Democrats, but other plans are being laid. It now appears that Secretary Carlisle’s trip to Chicago was not so mnch to deliver a speech as it was to organize a cam paign against the silver movement in that State, which up to that time had been moving forward without appar ent let or hindrance. A committee of 100 Democrats has been formed, with Mayor Hopkins of Chicago at its head, and .this committee is already actively at work checking the silver forces. Senator Lindsay’s mission to Ken-' tucky is also said to have no other ob ject in view than an arrangement with the Blaokburn' forces lu that State whereby harmony is to be se cured and Blackburn returned to the Senate if the State Democratie con vention will send anti-silver men to the national convention. ' TWO PENSION BILLS. ; Which Cleveland Bat Down Upon With Crushing W«l|hb Washington, April 85.—The Presi dent to-day sent to the Senate vetoes of two Senate pension bills. The first was that of Charles R Jones, a pho tographer, which attracted considera ble attention in the Housei • Qt is as follows: “To the Senate: I return' herewith without my approval Senate- bill No. 840, entitled, An act to-grant a pen sion to Charles & Jones. The bene ficiary named in this bill was a pho tographer who accompanied one of the regiments of the union>army dur ing the war of the rebellion. He was injured, apparently not very seri ously, while taking photographs and where no battle was in actual pro gress. He was not enlisted and was in no manner in the military service of the United Sfates. Aside from the question as to whether his present sad condition is attributable to the injury sustuined.it seems to me the extension of pension relief to such cases would open the door to legislation bard to justify and impossible to refrain from abuse.—Grover Cleveland.” The other veto was in that of the bill for a pension to Nancy G. Alla bach, widow of Peter H. AUabach, who served in the Mexican war and the war of the rebellion. The Presi dent calls attention to the fact that AUabach made no application for pen sion on account of disabilities during his life and continues: “It is not now claimed that he was in the least dis abled as an incident of his military service, nor is it alleged that his death, which occurred nearly twenty nine years after his discharge from the army, was in any degree related to such service." He says the widow was pensioned after her husband's dentil as the widow of a Mexican si Id er, and that her case falls under tl.e general act of 1690. “It is pro posed. however,” he continues, “by the special act under consideration, to give this widow a pension of $o0 a month, without the least suggestion of the death or disability of her hus band having been caused by his mili tary service, and solely, so far as discoverable, upon the ground that she is poor and needs the money. Her condition is precisely covered by ex isting laws and, if a precedent is to be established by the legislation pro posed, I do not see how the saene relief as is contained in this bill can be denied to the many thousands of widows who are in a similar situation and are not on the pension rolls under general laws ” Bill to Tax Impure Beer. Washington, April 23.— Inline with the recent legislation against adulter ation of food and drinks. Congressman Cooper of Wisconsin has introduced a 1 bill in the House which is of special interest to the manufacturers and consumers of beer. The House committee on ways and means will have charge of the bill. It is a measure which provides for defining beer as an article manufactured of malt, hops and water solely, and addi tional taxes are imposed on any article sold as beer, in the composition of which glucose, fusel oil or drugs ap pear. Manufacturers of pure beer are said to be in favor of the legislation, believing it would be beneficial to trade in honest goods. Dueling la Germany Moat Stop.

Cobb, Democrat, representing the Fifth Ala bama district, and voted 131-43 to seat Albert T. Goodwin, Populist, but the point of no quorum being made, the House adjourned with the final vote still pending. Five Republicans voted with the Democrats to recommit the case with instructions to the committee to per mit the contestant to offer testimony in rebuttal. Mr. Cobb had 508 major- ■ lty on the face of the returns, but the majority found extensiTo "fTiads in the three black counties of the dis trict, which reduced Mr. Cobb’s vote and gave the contestant 2,360 major ity. The minority claimed that no opportunity was given to submit evi dence in rebuttal, and that-fraud was presumed, not proven. Mr. Cobb had been a member of the Fiftieth, Fifty first, Fifty-second and Fifty-third Congresses. He was unseated bv the Fifty-first House. LEGAL CLAIMS ALLOWED.
