CHICAGO , Doc. IB. The four anarchists
who were handed November 11 August
Spies , A. It. Parsons , Adolph Fischer nnd
George Engcl nnd Louis Lingg , who cheated
the gallows by 'committing ' suicide the day
before were placed In their tltml resting
place In AVnldhcim cemetery to-day. The
only drainutlu feature of the occasion wus
brought about by Mrs. 1'nrsons , the dusky
wife of the dead anarchist' She had kept in
the background nt the cemetery during the
nrclluiinary exercises. A few moments be
fore Captain Hlack , chief counsel for the nn-
nrchists , concluded his address , and while
the spectators wcro in n manner spell-bound
by the Captain's rhetoric , someone
ono shouted : "Make way for Mrs.
Parsons. " A passage way was
made and Mrs. Parsons , accompanied by Mr.
nnd Mrs. William Holmes , came forward.
The nearest coffin to her wus that of August
Spies. Her husband's was the second from
this , Mrs. Parson's eyes seemed to pick out
the casket in which she was most Interested.
The moment her gu/e cauplit it she gave
voice to n wall which startled the crowd.
Captain Hlack paused in tils speech and then
the screams of Mrs , Parsons reached to the
outer circle of the crowd. Thrice she strove
to speak , but the words refused to como out ,
and shu sank fainting Into the arms of
friends. Some men near her made miow
balls nnd rubbed her temples and when she
showed signs of eoticiousnessshe wus curried
away.
The funeral trains from the city carried
about eight hundred people to the cemetery.
Thcdcmeanorof theoccupants put-took moroof
the nature of n picnic party than a funeral.
At the cemetery a crowd gathered around a
lot situated near the entrance. The cofllns
were taken from the vault and carried to the
s ] > ot where the crowd had assembled. Spies'
casket was borne by six members of the
turnvcrcin , Fischer's casket was carried by
members of the typographical union , Pur
Boim' by members of his old assembly of
Knights of Labor , Englo's by the Germai
fresco painters' union nnd Louis Llnirg's by
a committee from the carpenters' assembly
On Spies' and Fischer's cofllns were ilowers
nnd a red ribbon. On Parsons' was a
bouquet of red and yellow roses , which
served to bring ou . in bold relief the red
cloths which covered the caskets of Kngel
and Lingg. The undertakers removed the
lids from the colllns and the chief moumars
took their places.
Among the mourners wcro the near rela
tives and friends of the dead anarchists , in
eluding Mrs. Schwab , whose husband is it
the penitentiary , Nina Van X.undt am :
"Linggs girl , " Elsu Fricdel. Nina Van
/.mult chatted continuously with Ctiptalr
Ulnclt and showed no sign of emotion. J. H
Buchanan acted as master of ceremonies ,
The embalming process had been a success ,
The dead looked ull lifelike anil not a trace
of dcconiK | > sition wus to bo seen. A memo
rial hymn was sung by the Milwaukee So
cialistic Maonncrchor. Captain Hlack then
spoke , in substance UH follows :
It is now nearly nineteen centuries since
there ctune into the world ono whose name is
a household word wherever civilization has
ehed its light. Whatever may bo our per
sonal views of Christ , wo all know that Ho
brought most prominently to light two
thoughts which have been in the world since
then. One establishes a connection in re
lutlonship between us and eternal God. The
other is the thought of universal brother
hood , for , if wo only knew , the events am
circumstances of to-day are yet children ol
the infinite bound tip in an eternal destiny ,
As children of one father , wo are brethren
all. No man , until the coming of Jesus ,
knew the secret which bwko down the
narrow barriers of ruco and distinctions o
place mid circumstances. When Ho
came the world at largo had no place for him
In the stable was His birth undiu the manger
His cradle. What shall I say concerning r
civillzntion which boasts His name to-day
As wo look back over the long ages thathuv
occupied thcso nineteen centuHcs , we can
tnko heart and courage that Ills doctrine of
love is yet alive , for in spite of much' for
getting we still llnd that in the long march of
centuries there have been faithful hearts , in
which ages have como to life , the beauty and
glory of His teachings , self-sSacriflce. fra
ternity and love. Hut it 'Is not all that
places of power and of wealth had no
room for Him when Ho came. But
when Ho went what was it I He
taught the world divine fatherhood. When
Jesus to the teachings of fatherhood added
the teaching of universal brotherhood of all
mankind , plmrisces and priests , scribes and
Icvitcs , combined with ono Ho taught prac
tical fraternity. This it is to study the wel
fare of the poor and oppressed rather than
one man's advantage and. prollt. And for
this they cast Him out. Hut the cross upon
which they hanged Him became a synonym
of honor and glory. My friends , has the
world yet reached its ultimate of .purpose , its
highest of honor and of development. Look
on these dead and answer. Whatever you
may say as to their methods , the
judgment of simple justice is that
jholr purpose was the elevation of man
kind. Their longing was to bring in a day of
unlvcrsal.brothcrhood and universal peace ,
and the world has nothing for thcso men but
the gibbet. Wo take these lessons to heart ,
but do not despair , for wo know that the
cuuso for which men die takes root in human
hearts and reaches upwards and bpreads and
cannot bo destroyed. And the lesson of this
hour was given us In the words of that Great
Teacher in centuries gone by , when , seeing
the gathering storm of hatred and oppression.
Which was speedily overwhelming him , and
realizing that in loyalty to the mission Ho hud
accomplished upon earth them was a felon's
futo for Him , there wus overthrow and de
struction. He foretold to thosuabout Him His
own death , and when they contended
with him concerning it , these were his
words : "Except u grain of wheat fall Into
the ground and die , It abideth alone ; but If
it die. It bringoth forth much fruit. " The
world's history is and lias been that every
milestone in the path of progress lias stood
us u tablet over the murdered dead that laid
the foundations for the structure of real
progress , and advancement out of the old in
the blood of these who have loved the com
mon cause and the common people so vaguely
that , unmindful of their iwrsnnal welfare ,
they havfi been ready to shed their blood.
Hut is there to such as these
the futo of oblivion I The lives
that go out in the splendid
service and In supreme sacrllleo are never
lost 1 euro not what their beliefs are con
cerning the Unseen. I know that even if
they believe not , the Eternal Father is faith
ful and the hearts that pass out of life in the
bervico of humanity will bo called and gath
ered into the embrace of God.
After Captain mack's address Paul Grett-
kuti. of Milwaukee , delivered along speech"
in German , in which ho said : "I read that
the thoughts of this assembly turn upon
those who are the murders of our friends. I
fear that in your heart and mind there lives
the thought and conviction that the
. .4'crlws Crimes of tllO in-01'erty.
vhing class furnished the maiorlal
of the charge against these , our friends ;
that you live in the conviction ( hut their"
crime was Jove of truth : that the crime
which they wcro charged with was to have
striven for the liberty ot man. "
Albert Currlin , of St. Louis , also delivered
speech in German , praising the virtues of
the dead anarchists and the cause for which
they died.
After the ceremonies wcro over the cas
kets were closed and lowered In the grave ,
which had been dug twelve feet deep nnd
walled up with granite blocks , Just before
the large granite capstone was placed over
the grave two largo wreaths , ordered by the
New York Frclheit , Johan Most's paper , were
placed In the grave ,
LOUD MOUTHED REDS.
Several of Them Arrewteil In New York
During n Fight.
NKW YOIIK , Dec. IS. [ Special Telegram
to the'BKK. ] Three dilapidated looking an
archists from Hobokcn , N. J. , were held
to-day for exciting a riot In n saloon at No.
4,17 Ninth nvcnve. They were covered with
blood and had evidently kthe worst of the
fight. They were , Charles Algncr , a
piano case maker , William Hopkln
nnd Henry Nlghtelinger , nil members
of the progressive labor party. Two of the
central labor union , Emit Wirz nnd Annln
WIdemery , appeared us complainants. The
anarchists entered the saloon where n num
ber of labor men were and , after striving In
vain to force u fight , ono of the anarchists
said :
"The laws of this country nrc all wrong
and ought to bo changed. "
A voice from one of the tables asked : ' 'Is
any ono of you n citizen ? "
"I would not be a citizen. I have been
seven years in this country mid never took
out any papers , " spoke Algncr.
Thereuiwn some ono from the tables re
torted : "If this country don't suit you , why
don't you go back where you came froini"
Then the fight began. The saloon became
a scene of wild disorder. One anarchist
picked ujx u chair while another seized u
bottle , and an attack was made
upon the labor union men. Someone
summoned the ixjlicc. No sooner did the
anarchists see the officers than they shouted :
"The police ! The police 1 Kill the police !
Three cheers for the red llagl"
The police rushed in the saloon and suc
ceeded In securing Aigner. The other two
anarchists escaped to the street. Before ho
could bo got out of the paloon , Aigner
butted his head through ono of the
glass doors , cutting himself frightfully. Ho
fought viciously and had to bo dragged all
the way to the station house. On the way
his friend Nightclingcrcamo up and attacked
Detective Mullen , called him vile names and
tried to throw him. The detective used his
club on Nightelingcr's ' head and beat
him off. Aigner then shook him
self loose and made nn attack
upon Roundsman Wcstervelt. striking him a
blow in the face which cut his eye. Hoplns.
the third nnurchist , followed the officers ami
attacked them. He also received n clubbing.
The prisoners said they simply defended
themselves.
A WISCONSIN SCANDAfc.
Flight of n Married Woman Upon the
Discovery of Her Trechnry.
Ciiifi-EWA FALLS , Wis. , Doc. 18. [ Special
Telegram to the BEE. ] A scandal which has
been recently exposed nnd made public bus
excited a great deal of feeling among all
classes , as the parties concerned arc well
known and well connected. Mr. and Mrs. J.
N. Phillips and F. G. Stanley , son of n
prominent bunker , are the chief participate
in the sensation. Mrs. Phillips is the daugh
ter of a former mayor of Eau Claire , who
now resides In California. She was well
brought up and surrounded with the neces
saries and luxuries of life. She began her
career when about fifteen or sixteen years of
ago by eloping from this city , where she was
visiting , with a young Frenchman ,
whom she had known but a few days.
The husband made frcquuut compluints of his
wife , claiming that she was too fond of
others' society. She charged him nnd his
family with ill treatment. To prevent her
going on the street the family locked her into
a room and kept her there several days. Her
captivity was ended by an attempt ut suicide
by eating "rough on rats. " After this epi
sode she left her husband for the second time
in a few months and returned to her home in
Minnesota.
After u time n divorce wns procured by her
nnd not long after her marriage with Mr.
Phillips , of this city , took place. Phillips ,
several years ago , was n Methodist minister ,
and hud charge of the church in this city. In
temperance circles ho was very prominent ,
being the chief officer of the Temple of
Honor when It was organized and held such
sway in the state. In | > crsonul appearance ho
wus often likened to Henry Word Beceher.
When some ugly reiwrts were circulated ho
retired from the ministry. He has since suc
cessfully conducted a newspaper in this city.
When ho brought his young wife to h'is
homo it wus not long before ho discovered
that she had not forgotten her former hus
band. Affairs came to such a pass thut be
fore the honeymoon hud waned she was sent
away and her husband begun proceedings for
a divorce , charging her with inildoHy and en
deavoring to do him bodily hurm by arming
herself with the butcher knife nnd driving
him from the house. She charged him with
cruelty. The .suit was withdrawn and their
conjugal relutions resumed.
The mini outburst wus caused by the lady
forming a liaison with young Stanley , and re
ports of u most scandalous nature were circu
lated , Hearing of this her husband nifncd
himself with a revolver and , rushed into the
young muni * office , surprised him into n con
fession und into telling of an occurrence
which implicates an honest girl , who has also
suffered. After this episode the wife packed
her trunks und left for purts unknown.
Among the thousand and ono reports Is ono
thut a certain well known photographer took
nude photographs of the lady. It is said that
the society gentleman was cither present or
had urgeit her to it. The pictures were ex
hibited and the husband , armed with a
search warrant and a revolver , forced
the man to give them up. Many have
sympathized witli Mrs. Phillips , knowing'
that she was a victim of the morphine habit
and indulged in liquor. Another cause for
sympathy was thut her husband has con
tinually used the columns of his paper to ex-
jtoso many of her follies , which would other
wise not have been known. Her parents are
highly respectable and have never had n
word of buspicion breathed against their
character. Proceedings for a divorce have
been begun by Mr. Phillips , and should his
wife make counter charges and bring the
case into court , the testimony would create
great excitement. It is quite probable thut
it will go by default , as she gave up her
i Ight to the pn > i > crty before she loft ;

Ho Calls 011 His Followers to Seek
Redress.
VINITA , I. T. , Dec. IS. [ Special Telegram
to the BEE.-Ex-ChIef ] D. W. Bushyhcud ,
who wus fired bodily from the executive man
sion of the Cherokee government at Table-
quah last week , has issued a call to his fol
lowers to meet him in council at Campbell's
store , about thirty miles from here , Monday.
The call is for 200 men to seek redress for the
wrong done the Bustiyhead party and also to
gain control of the government which is now
in the hands of the Downing party. The lat
ter are prepared for and expect an attack
from the nationals Monday night or Tuesday.
The pent-up rage of Bushyhead and his fol
lowers seems to increase. The policy of the
ox-chief seems now to bo to crcuto the im
pression thut the country is in the hands of a
mob. It is known on all sides that an at
tempt will be made by the nationalists to re
sent the ex-chief next week. Chief Mayers ,
head of the Downing party , is making ar
rangements accordingly. General Armstrong ,

BURIAL OF YOUNG LIDDELL ,
The Trafalgar Square Victim Fol
lowed to the Grave By Thousands.
A VERY DECOROUS OCCASION.
Itnln nt the Cemetery Prevents the
Carrying Out or the Full
Programme of.Speeches
Stead the Hero. „
A London Socialistic Funeral.
[ Copyright ltS7 IJH J < ( mn tfnntim Ilcnnrtt. ]
LoxnoN , Dec. 18. [ New York Herald
Dable-5pccial to the HEE. ] "Tho funeral
baked meats did coldly furnish forth" the
liolilicul tables to-day of Mr. Stead and his
followers nt the Interment of young Llddcll ,
who died of the wounds received nt Trafal
gar square. The editor of the Pall Mall Ga
zette was the llvo hero of the day , and this
was acknowledged at How not Bow street ,
but an eastward How suburb cemetery ,
when n vast multitude from London heard
him speak at the grave. After the fashion
in Pert ) la Chaise , the procession
formed on Windmill street , near Piccadilly
Circus nnd several music halls , nnd proceeded
to the northward of Trafalgar square , en
tering the Strand at the corner of Welling
ton street by the Lyceum theater and the of
fices of the Morning Post , at which many of
the proccssisnists looked defiantly. The day
was an unusually sad looking one ,
with a dark atmosphere , heavy clouds ,
with rain nnd mud. It may
prove a joyous ono to the shoe-
makcr , for fully 200,000 people were out
either in on attending upon the procession.
There was un abundance of weapons in the
crowd in the shape of umbrellas. The affair
differed only from the usual funeral of any
club member in the immense numbers.
Probably only n small part of thcso under
stood accurately what it was all about.
They perhaps understood their attendance
to bo a protest against the authorities pre
venting the populace from making themselves
nt their sweet will n nuisance in the thor
oughfares. 'All who hnto the police were
found behind the bier of the youug rioter
thus memorialized.
The spirit of the possession differed little
from the spirit which animated the Chicago
multitude which recently buried the bunged
anarchists. Looking at the procession it
was impossible not to perceive that
the recent prosecution , sentences to
imprisonment , and , indeed , the fate
ef the man whoso remains they were
escorting , had taught a lesson of obedience
to law , even if its policy and enforcement
were condemned. It wus in the main an
orderly protesting procession.
Trafalgar square and its debauches were
flanked by police and relays of them were in
quiet positions en route. When the end of the
procession passed Leister square , near the
place of formation , the head of it was at
Endgate circus , far away. Moving at 2 : UO it was
4 : 'M o'clock and dark before the procession ,
after marching to the discordant dead march
music of three bauds , under the shadows of
St. Paul's nnd along past the Mansion house ,
Cornhlll , Endgate , nnd the wide east end
boulevard , reached How cemetery. From ,
the gates fur away westwurd hundreds of
thousaivls of unemployed and idlers on this
Sunday holiday , were packed in masses.
Arrived at the cemetery it was found to bo
flanked by small battalions of constables ,
four deep In rank , for prcventionul purposes.
They and the crowds , however , did nothing
but stare at each other after a short scuttle to
get inside. It was not , however , the police
who kept all the people out , but this was
done by orders of the cemetery officials. By
this time there was a downpour of rain ,
which thinned the crowds.
< j
Said ono poetic socialist : ' 'Even the heav
ens weep for the poor martyr. " But this
socialist was lucky enough to hold a large
umbrella.
When the service began there was a rush
to get near the grave , and a disgraceful
scene occurred in pushing and hauling , to the
destruction of the mounds and gravestones ,
but the ruin shortened all the trouble , and
the service at the graveside , which was dec
orated with holly , evergreen and bits of
weeping willow. A hymn composed for the
occasion by William Morris was then sung
by a small choir.
Chairman Guelch , of the social democratic
federation , appeared to be sexton of the af
fair. He called upon Mr. Stead , who , however -
over , Instead of oratory , prefers Few's rhetoric
eric , uud so ho played the part of a mute. He ,
however , occupied himself in striking Bryant
& May mutches , for it was pitch
dark , so us to allow the officiating
clergymen light enough , to read by. It is
almost unnecessary to add that the frequent
snap on the box , alternating with the emo
tional voice of the reader , produced a weird
and dramatic effect. There wore distributed
at a penny apiece from the Pall Mall Gazette
brief memorial cards sold for the benefit ol
the widow who had been separated from
Liddcll and of the children whom ho hail
abandoned to the workhouse.
The poet , William Morris , then made
moderately toned address , simply asking the
crowd to separate peaceably , inasmuch us
this wus u season of peace on earth and gooc
will towards men.
But Chairman Guelch was not so moderate ,
Among other things ho said :
"Whut you cuuuot huvo by right you must
get by might. "
Mrs. Besunt , who accompanied the pro
cession from first to lust wulking beside the
heorso in company with John Burns , Mr
Stead , Cunningham Graham , M. P. , am
William Morris , who carried the coffin co\ >
ered with a red flag into the cemetery wa
expected to speak , but ho did not. At las'
the rain came down in such tropical torrents
that very soon afterward police and people
alike ran bushward or trulward , or alloa
homeward.
There will doubtless bo to-morrow n great
sale of the Pall Mall Gazette , with its pic
tures and picturesque descriptions , for , taken
as a whole , the funeral proved to bo a sue
ccssful piece of newspaper enterprise.
A Capital Fox Hun.
[ CofiyrtgM ISS7 by James Gonloii Uennett. ]
PAU , Dec. 18. [ New York Herald Cable
Special to the BEE. ] Another capital run
with the hounds took place hero yesterday.
The meet was at the-Alloes do Moj-aas nnd
was well attended by innumerable vehicles
and horsemen. The start was on M. Troullh's
training ground , the hounds going at a grand
pace , with the scent breast high. At first
falls wcro numerous , which was easily ac
counted for , as the fences over which
Troullh trains his well known racers are in

its brokers to buy no barley grown In or
shipped from the states of Iowa or Kansas.
The secretary of the Keeley company is

to punish those states for their prohibition
principles.
"But , " added ho , "if they won't buy our
beer , it is quite proper wo should refuse to
buy their barley , is it noli"
Ho also considered Minnesota nnd Wis
consin barley better than Iowa and Kansas
barley , and thought there is no need of buy

got elsewhere. At other breweries it was
said the matter ut > to the present time con
cerned only Keeley & Co. Louis Huck , the

CARNEGIE'S ECONOMIC VIEWS.
He Was Once an Ardent Supporter
of Socialism.
PiTTsnuiio , Pa. , Dec. 18. [ Special Tele
gram to the BKK. ] Andrew Carnegie , the
great steel manufacturer of Pittsburg , left
for New York last night. Reporters who
called upon him were told ho was too busy to
talk about his resignation from the Nineteenth
Century club , of Now York , supposed to bo
the result of Carnegie's s ) > ccch nt the lust
club meeting , during which ho attacked
President Courtland Palmer for his alleged
sympathy with the Chicago anarchists. As
n startling illustration of Carnegie's change
of opinion , n local paper to-day reproduces an
interview had with Mr. Carnegie in this city
nearly three .years ago. In that interview
ho said it was plain that the
worklngmon must rise in the future
as they had in the past. He believed social ,
ism was the proudest theory ever presented-
and was sure it 'would ' some day rule the
world. "
"Then , " said Mr. Carnegie , "we will have
obtained the millennium. "
"You hope that theMlon and the lamb will
lie down side by sldifall things bo equal and
that the profits shall share and share alike ? "
was asked. i
Mr. Carnegierepljed : "That Is the state
wo are now drlftinrfinto. Then men will bo
contented to work ] for .the general welfare
and share their richbs with their neighbors. "
Mr. Carnegie smiled and said ho was not at
once prepared to divide his wealth. Ho said
ho did not spend much on himself. Every
year ho gave uwuy' seven or eight times as
much us ho spent for personal comforts and
pleasure.

A Quiet Beginning.
WASHINGTON HI ; K\U TIIK OMAHA Ben , 1
51ii FOURTEENTH STIIEI ; : , >
WASHINGTON , D. C. , Dec ) . 18. J
The early adjournment of the senate , nnd
the absence of any committees in the house
to which bills could be referred , have joined
in making the past congressional week ono
devoid of even the usual Interest. The spec
ulations as to what action the senate would
take upon the nominations sent in at the
opening of congress by Mr. Cleveland bus
practically subsided , as it is generally under
stood that there will bo no effective opposi
tion to their confirmation. The bills Intro
duced by Senators Munderson and Paddock
relating to Nebraska interests arc now in the
hands of the proper committees , where they
arc undergoing consideration , and are likely
to bo promptly reported and placed
on the calendar. Senator Manderson's
bill for the relocation of Fort
Omaha is in the hands of the committee on
military affairs. The local opposition last
year succeeded in defeating its consideration
in the house , where it wus pigeon-holed In the
room of the committee on military affairs. It
will tnko a strong and united effort on the
part of the people of Omulm to counteract the
effect of lust year's obstruction , but General
Sheridan , who is the auditor of the matter of
post appropriations , is still very favorably in
clined to the measure and will give it all the
assistance which strong and urgent recom
mendations and endorsements can furnish in
furthering Us passage. The general of the
army , in conversation during the past week ,
said that he considered the measure
an urgent ono nnd that the
sooner that all obstacles for relocating
Fort Omaha were taken out of the way the
better would bo the chances for securing
what ho greatly desired ut that point a
large , substantial and permanent military
garrison , within n short distance , not exceed
ing ten miles of the city , and which in the
character of its buildings and the ample
space of its surroundings , would bo adequate
to the important military position which it
would command. General Sheridan , as al
ready stated by the editor of the BED in his
dispatches of last week , is firmly and im
movably opposed to and will resist any fur
ther expenditure for Fort Omaha nt Its
present site , but will gladly encourage the
construction of ono of the largest nnd hand ;
somest mllitury posts in the west
on a site where sufilclcnt ground
for ull the purposes of u largo army. garrison
can be secured and at n sufficient distance
from the city to avoid the many obstructions
to military discipline which such nearness
always involves.
VOn THE lir.I.IEK OF MltS. HOWE.
Senator Paddock has introduced a bill for
the relief of Mrs. Juliet G , Howe , of York ,
who served as a nurse in the war of the re
bellion without pay or com ) > cnsation and now
finds bcrself with a dependent husband on
her hands nnd'no means of support. Mrs ,
Howe brings with her claim upon the govern
ment u series of remarkable strong endorse
ments from high military authorities who
kncwof her self-sacrificing devotion during
the war of the rebellion and who sympathize
with her in her present impoverished con
dition. The same measure was .introduced
at the last session of congress , but was
p'lgeon-holcd too long to give any hopes for
its passage before adjournment.
- KIMI1AI ? ! . AMI THE UNION 1'AClrir.
The fainiliur face of Thomas M. Kimball ,
the assistant manager of the Union PueiUc
railroad , was seen in the corridors of the
Arlington yesterday. Mr. Kimbull's visit to
the capital has nothing to do with a Union
Pacific lobby. Ho appeared us u witness
yesterday before the Inter-state commission
to testify us to the long nnd short haul rates
on the Union Pacific between Omaha uud
Sun Francisco and Denver to the sumo point.
Mr. Kimbnll's iirgunicnt in defense of the
high rate charged from Denver to San Fran
cisco was based upon the fact that Omaha
was n competing point of the Canadian Pa
cific road , which compelled the giving of a
rate which barely covered the cost of trans
portation in order to secure any business at
all. His arguments were listened to with
close attention , which were clearly presented
and made u strong impression upon the com
mission.
"LONG" JONES ON IH.UNH.
A hnlf-doi'cn members of the national re
publican committee are yet in the city and
they have political opinions to express , nnd
among them Is "Long" Jones , of Illinois ,
General Logan's faithful friend and a leader
among the radicals. At the Arlington , with
a coterie of friends. Jones expressed his mind
very freely regarding the next presidential
nomination. Ho said Mr. Blnino was the
most prominent candidate ; that he was for
him and wonld gladly support him. "But,1
ho added , "tho present situation reminds mo
very much of the stue of affairs in 1800when
Lincoln was noralnutfd. You must under
stand that a majority of the delegates at the
Chicago convention that year wcro in favor
of the nomination of Mr. Seward , but they
were njrald of the result. They feared his
defeat and in the end nominated a hucccssful
ticket Lincoln nnd Hunilin. Now , 1 think
and really believe that history will repeat
itself ut Chicago next , year political history ,
1 menu. The majority of the convention will
be for Blaine , but some other umn will bo
put at the head of the ticket. "
A DEI'ARTJIKXTAI , KI'If-OIJE.
Some times there are mysterious nnd sud
den relinqulshments of prominent positions
in the departments and people are left to
wonder at them. A chief of n division in the
ofllco of the second assistant postmaster
general recently resigned. There were con
jectures nnd some surprise. It was known
that the man did not want to retire. It de
velops now that there was a woman in the
case. The chief , it is stated , borrowed ? 100
of a female clerk. She wanted the money
December 1 , to buy Christmas presents with
nnd resisted all entreaties to renew the loan.
When she found that she was not going to
get her money she rushed off to her senator ,
who exposed the case to Mr. Vilus. Tito
woman is still without her Christmas money ,
but her debtor is without any place in the
postofilco department.
UTtllV INTEREST.
Culeb West , the governor of Utnh , is here.
Ho denies that his visit bears any signifi
cance and says he came only for pleasure.
Ho will stuy during the holldHys and will pay
his respects to the president. The governor
reports the territory to be In u more prosper
ous and peaceful condition than ever before
nnd says a largo Influx of population is
coming into Salt Lake City from the eastern
states. It is probable that ho will get in
some work for the admission of Utah as a
state bcforo ho leaves Washington ,
J10YAL SLEIGH 1111)1:1(3. :
During the past twenty-four hours n two-
inch snow lias fallen and Pennsylvania avc-
nuo and other popular thoroughfares are the
scenes of merry sleigh-riding. The senators
and members arc enjoying themselves behind
their flyers snd some very fine turnouts may
bo seen. In the white house stable there is
aii immense sleigh , capable of holding n
great many people. During the Grant
regime It used to appear on the avenue ,
drawn by four horses nnd filled with u merry
crowd.Mr. . Hayes was never seen in it ,
but President Arthur used to order it out
occnsionnlly. Probably Mrs. Cleveland docs
not knowof - its , existence , but If some ono
tells her of It she will doubtless make up n
.party and the big sleigh will oncn again
.create its usuiil sensation on the avenue :
SOCiETV AFFAIRS.
This Is expected to bo u busy weak in so
ciety , although there arc not many visitor * in
the city. The following llr * of official and
social reception days has been prepared and

the families residing in the northwestern
section of the city.
Mrs. Cleveland has not yet begun her In
formal morning receptions , but Is generally
nt homo to her personal friends from 1to 1
o'clock each day. Accompanied by Mrs.
Dainont she spent several mornings last
week on the avenue , walking from ono store
to another , seeming to derive the keenest en
joyment from her surroundings and the
pleasurable excitement incident to the selec
tion of Christmas presents.
The past week has been n gay one nnd fern
n dozen or two of society's favored ones.
There have been so many and so pleasurable
engagements that thu days and nights have
sped by with amazing velocity. Dinners and
luncheons , theater and' supper parties have
followed one another In quick biicccssion
among thfushionablo few and the rest have
had at least the consolation of reading about
them. There wcro besides several large
parties , weddings , receptions and the after

National Capital Notes.
WASHINGTON , Dec. 18. There is no joint
purpose on the part of senators either to do
or to abstain from doing any given thing dur
ing the coming week. The senate calendar
contains only three bills which ran be taken
up for action. Ono of them provides for re
funding to the states the direct tax of 1S01 ,
and the other two relate to jtorts of entry in
Oregon and Washington territory. A docn
measures are on the table , some of which
will doubtless bo culled up during the week
by their originators as texts for set speeches ,
nnd will then be referred to the proper com
mittees.
The matters of the greutest general inter
est before the senate in executive session arc
cabinet nominations nnd these seem to he
awaiting the motion of the judiciary com
mittee , to which the nominations of
Lumar and Vilas wcro sent. The belief is
general that no action will bo taken upon
thcso nominations until after the holiday
recess. Ths nomination of Secretary Fairchild -
child has already been reported from the
finance connnitceo and that of Dickinson is
ready'to bo reported from the postotfico com
mittee. The total number of nominations
before the senate is 4' i ) , not more than a
dozen of which have yet been reported back
from the committees.
The sub-coinmittco of finance , which for
more than a year has been studying the
subject of fundamental undervaluation ,
has perfected an elaborate bill of
twenty-four printed jagC8 which will bo sub
mitted to the full committee to-morrow morn
ing , and probably bo reported to the senate
during the day.
, The few days in which the house will be
In session during the coming week will , in all
probability , bo devoted to u discussion of the
rules which are to govern the proceedings of
the house for the present congress. The com
mittee on rules will bo announced to-morrow
and an early adjournment bo had in order to
enable that committee to formally orguni/o !
and proceed speedily to the consideration of
proposed changes of rules , which have al
ready been referred to it.
SOMETHING OF A ROMANCE.
Scions of Wealthy New York Families
Arrested BH VngriuilH.
MINNEAPOLIS , Minn. , Dec. 18. [ Specinl
Telegram to the BEE. ] The municipal court
room wus the .scene of quite u little romance
yesterday afternoon. John Gould nnd
George Hunter wcro the names of two young
fellows who were arraigned on the charge of
vagrancy , having just been brought in from
n saloon. They have been seen about the
streets a good deal during the pabt two or
three months , and while they never appeared
to luck for money , they gave the impression
of having no visible means of support. Both
youths told their story to Judge Mahoney in
a straightforward sort of way , and while ho
wns hesitnting ns to the course to pursue
under the circumstances , a gentleman dropped
in who had known them for years under fur
different circumstances back in New
York. He corroborated their story and they
were both dismissed. These two young
fellows are scions of wealthy and aristocratic
New York families , and until recently , gen
tlemen of leisure in the great metropolis.
Years ago Gould's father held a high judicial
position in Albany , nnd the family , consist
ing of the mother , two sons and two daugh
ters , moved in the highest social circles of
that aristocratic old town. After the death
ol the father the family moved to New York
city , being abundantly supplied with this
world's goods. The boys were sent up the
river to a well known boarding school , where
they spent several years. The youth in ques
tion has ever been of the adventurous sort ,
and after repeated but unsuccessful attempts
to live along in the conventional channels of
city life , he broke away from the parental
hearthstone , and with his comrade in arms
headed for the homo of the festive cowboy.
Hunter also has a history. Ho is a cousin
of Gould , several years his senior , and is by
profession a tea taster. In that capacity ho
is considered one of the best in New York ,
nnd has for years commanded u salary of
several hundiod dollars a month. But , like
all others In that profession , ho hud finally to
succumb to the noxious effects of the great
staple. A year ago ho was physically n
wreck. His nerves were gone and ho had
dwindled down to a mere shadow of himself.
He also yearned for a change and gladly fled
to the haunts of the Inimitable cow punchers.
Ho is now the picture of health.
A couple of months ago both youths returned -
turned from the cowboy camp , brown as
Indians and incased in true cowboy costume.
They yearned to remain here during the winter -
tor , and , with the return of sin-ing hie them
selves back to the grazing grounds of Mon
tana , ami there resume their free and easy
life. They claim to have tried earnestly to
get some employment duringtheir stay in the
city , but without huccchs. Hunter hud sev
eral opportunities to resume his former voca
tion , but dared not venture in the business
again , The judge concluded that ho had bet
tor send them up on general principles , when
quite fortunately , their story was confirmed
by the fortunate arrival of un old acquain
tance. Young Gould said In a conversation
that he expected to leuvo for New York In u
few days , his presence being required there
In the settlement of the family estate. Hon.
S. H. Chute , of Albuuy , was , until his acci
dental death n few yrurs since , the guardian
of the boys. The oldest sister early devel
oped d taMe for the htagc. About five years
ago t > ho married Jack Haverly's business
manager , and since then has playc'd in many
leading parts in New York theaters.

Stocks
NEW Yoiik' , Dec. IS. [ Special Telegram ffl
the BEE. ] The week was an unsettled onoln
the stock market , with some sudden nnd
sharp changes in the temper of speculation.
The old bear party and room traders , assisted
by Chicago operators , made un curly drive
ngulnst the list , paying particular attention
to Richmond Terminal , Lackawana , Union
Pacific , Manhattan , Headings Western Union
nnd Grangers. The bull leaders offered but
little opposition to the raid and contented
themselves with moderate purchases of their
favorites on the scale down. Persistent cut
ting by the Wubash caused some uneasiness
about the western railroad situation and dis
quieting rumors were put afloat , all of which
accelerated the downward movement. Still ,
with all the pressure brought to bear , the Im
pression made on prices was not marked , ex
cept in n few instances. Manhattan yielded 4 ,
Union Pacific , Head I HIT , nnd Richmond Ter
minal common " } ft"f ( , und Now England ,
St. Paul , nnd Northwest about 2 points.
Thcso wcro the most Important declines In
the prominent shares , but among the special
ties Richmond Terminal preferred broke 5
per cent. As the week were ulong rcgulnr
dividends were declared on Manhattan and
Richmond Terminal preferred , while that on
Western Union \sas raised to I1/per cent
quarterly. Then the trunk lines fixed up.
their troubles about dressed beef and restored
seaport rates and London cumo in as u liberal
buyer. These favorable events turned cur
rent and the curly depression was succeeded
by u much better feeling , the result of which
was an advance greater in some shnres than ,
the previous decline. The euso with which
the market moved up when the pressure
against it was lifted shows that It has in
herent strength and that there arc.
not really many long stocks offering.
The circle of speculators was even
narrower than last week and at intervals the
room traders practically did the bulk of b"sl-
ncss. The actions of the govcrnors.ln de
ciding not to open the exchange on the Sat
urdays proceeding Christmas and New Years ,
will make six holidays in the near future ,
and this , in connection with the disposition ta
lcum something more definite from Washing
ton as to the probable action of congress on
the tariff and finances , caused a Waiting policy
on the part of many operators , which led to
positive dullness on Friday. Commission
brokers arcjiot advising their customers to-
do much either way. while speculation is us.
circumscribed us it is at present , nnd hence
outside business has been very
limited. In railroad bonds Chosu-
ixnike nnd others were prominent , currency
lis making a gain of 7M , 4s ! > } { and clans A 2.
per cent on largo buying , said to bo in part
for Mr. Huntington. The appointment of a
committee to investigate the affairs of the
Kansas & Texas led to a rise of 1(3G ( point *
in various issues , which were traded in qulto
freely. Fort Worth & Denver firsts dropped
3 nnd ndvnnc'ed 4 per cent , while Nickel
Plates , Erie seconds and West Shores worj
fairly active without much change In prices.
Wabush generals nnd Chicago & fit. Loul
diyision Ijonds yielded 1) ) < @ 8 per cent when
Judge Grcsham ordered RecoverMeNultu ,
not to pay the Interest ndvcruscd for Jnn-
uary. The nbove were the principal features
of the market. Michigan Central 5s of 1903
advanced from the lust recorded sale
and some others rose 1 ( 2 per cent ,
while , on the other hand , Hocking Valley
consols , Indiana , Bloomington & Western
seconds , long dock hevcjis , nnd Pcoria , Dcca-
tur t livunsvillo seconds dropped2 ( < ( : t points.
The better class of mortgages wcro firm , us a ,
rule , und many of the lower priced bonds are
being picked up by people who regard them
as cheap.
Governments were quiet until near the
close , when there wus a fractional advance
on increased purchases by depository bunks.
The demand for exchange wus sufilcicnt to
absorb not only all the commercials offering ,
but arbitrage bills made aguinst London buy
ing of securities , and to finally cause an ad-
vunce of 12 cents or more.
