WASHINGTON. D. C. . April 20.
Some very active work Is going on among
Senator Sherman's mnnngcrs. They have
made a pretty cnroful canvass of every sec
tion of the country , nnd especially of the
south , and nro pretty well enabled to make
an approximation of the strength the senator
is likely to have In the convention on the
first ballot. A number of Senator Sherman's
most effective friends were in consultation
to-dny to count noses. They have figured In
nil of the states nnd territories und make the
senntor's approximate strength nt this tlmo
812 with 411 votes necrssnry to a choice.
They feel n good deal encouraged over the
notion token this week by the Ohio rcpubll-
cnn convention nt Dayton , nnd nro somewhat
jubilant nt tno outlook.
It Is understood that there will bo a con
ference In this city soon of the principal
workers for Senator Sherman throughout
the country , and that nn organization will bo
effected for the most effective work , such as
wns conducted In the last campaign for Mr.
Blninc. Senator Sherman's friends say they
are going Into the convention with n follow
ing that will stand solidly to their man ns
long ns there is the slightest hope of his
nomination , nnd Hint ho will have , by far ,
the greatest strength ho has over had in a
convention.
Ex-Congressman John R , Lynch , the col
ored leader In Mississippi , has been in the
city for several days. Ho has heretofore
been reckoned among Senator Thurmans
most potential workers. Mr. Lynch is fre
quently seen about the committee room of
Senator Allison in consultation with Repre
sentative Henderson and other prominent
Iowa republicans , and ho appears to bo doing
moro talking for Allison and Gresham than
anybody else. Mr. Sherman's friends sny
that Lynch has two words for Allison and
ono for the Ohio man , and that ho is scatter
ing too much to do them any very great
good.
DOllSnV MAKES AN AIldUMCNT.
Representative Dorsoy mndo an argument
before the house committee on Pacific rail
roads in favor of his amendment to the Outh
wnitc Pitclfio refunding bill , which Is in
tended to set aside such decisions ns that
rendered recently by Judge Dundyof the
federal court of Nebraska , which refused to
give the legislature authority to legislate for
the control of the Pacific railroad traffic In
that state on the ground that the Pacifies
Wcro organized under federal charters and
nro not subject to state control. Mr. Dorsoy
proposes that the railroads which were built
by the government slmll bo subject to the
same state laws as these chartered by the
states , He made n strong argument in sup
port of his position , pointing out the Injus
tices the roads built under federal laws work
to the citi/cns of the states , who
nro helpless to extricate themselves
through tlio common channels , nnd
pointed out the decision of the federal
court In Kansas , which was In contradiction
of that delivered by Judge Dundy , nnd elab
orated upon the rights of citi/eim to make
laws to govern local affairs. Ho was fre
quently interrupted by members of the com
mittee who wanted Information upon the
subject nnd who were much interested in his
argument. Mr. Dorsoy's talk was dispas
sionate , convincing , and had olfect. Ho wns
reasonable in his demands , and although the
committee took no notion , members of it say
the amendment will bo accepted. The only
question with the committee hecmcd to bo ns
to what injury it would do the earnings of
the roads to adopt the amendment.
HENPEIISON nXl'LODBU A. LIE AllOl'T IOWA.
Representative Henderson , of Iowa , was
to-day shown n paragraph from a southern
newspaper , stating that the Mills tariff bill
nnd President Cleveland are popular in Iowa ,
nnd that tlio farmers there wcro preparing to
jrlve both their endorsement nt the polls this
fall. Iu reply General Henderson said :
"This is absolutely false. Wo have had no
election in Iowa In which frco trade has tri
umphed. The farmers control the republican
Btato convention , and our republican plat
forms have been bold mid outspoken for pro
tecting American labor nnd American In
dustries , and on that platform wo have never
jnet a defeat. So , too , ouMowa farmers , In
their late state conference , boldly de
clared for protection. The frco
trade declarations of the president and
the hostile attitude of the democracy
over American prosperity 1-nvo strengthened
the republican party In Iowa. ' 'This item is
in keeping with u statement lately made by
sbtno crank in New York , nnd eagerly pub
lished by free trade papers. " Ho said , "In
Hiibstanro , that Mr , Cleveland's vlows were
so popular in Iowa that In the event of the
nomination of Cleveland and Allison ns op
posing candidates , the former would carry
Iowa. Some Darnuni ought to cage these
( ranks. They would draw as the two great
est living curiosities. If these two great
inventors are still remaining nt large , then
the commissioners of Insanity uro derelict In
their duty. "

PCIIIIY S. HEATH.
To Control Itallrond Striken.
WASHINGTON , April 20. Mr. Anderson , of
Kansas , ono of the committee that Investi
gated the Reading strike , introduced in the
house to-day n bill which embodies his views
of the legislation necessary for securing to
the public regular service by tlio railroad
companies. The bill provides that the Juris
diction of n railroad ceases with its terri
tory. No state railroad can become n cnrrier
of inter-state commerce except by permission
nnd authority of the United States. An old
act of 1808 , which gave this authority , is BO
amended as only to include such state corpor
ations as accept the provisions of this bill ,
nnd nil others are prohibited from carrying
inter-state commerce under heavy penalties.
Every railroad subject to the bill , for which
private property 1ms been taken by eminent
domain , Is made n public highwny of the
United States. A corporation holding n
franchise of collecting tolls , or of operating
n public highway ns a railroad , is declared to
bo the custodian and trustee of public prop
erty , and bound to maintain and operate the
same for the Interest of the public , subject
only to Its charter rights. The duties nnd ob
ligations of the holder of these franchises nre
declared to be distinct from and prior to these
of a common carrier , nnd their performance
is enforced under penalties. In event of the
failure by a company to run its regular trains
the inter-state commerce commission is re-
iiulrcd to promptly investigate the fncts and
issue such orders to the company as will se
cure regular service. If after seven days
service is not performed , the attorney gen
eral is required to procure tlio appointment
of a receiver , whoso duty it is to operate the
road for the United States , nnd ho may cm-
ploy the old force. Companies are given the
right to connect their roads with others , are
prohibited from engaging in mining or any
other business than that of a carrier , and
stringent prohibition is made of combinations
of competing lines or of rates.

BCIIUX , April 20. [ New 'York Herald
Cable Special to the Bni : . ] The reassuring
effect of to-day's news was plainly shown in
the comparative cessation of commotion and
excitement that in recent days has been wit
nessed in the vicinity of Charlottcnburg
palace. Only members of the imperial fam
ily and a few officials visited the palace. The
gathering of the public outside the palace
did not number moro than 200

prince and crown princess returned to
Berlin this evening. Emperor Frederick
was anxious to rise to-day , but his doctors
forbade his doing so because ho was still fe
verish. Ho worked , propped up in his bed.
Although ho continues to improve , his tem

caution. Much credit is accorded to Dr.

The Betrothal Story Bogus ,

LONPON , April 2C. [ Now York Heralrt
Cable-Special to the Bnr. . ] The Post's
Berlin correspondent says : "Tho , truth Is
now becoming known regarding the rumor of
the betrothal of the Princcssi Victoria to
Prince Alexander of Battcnberg. The story
was Invented by the court party in conjunc
tion with some members of the Imperial
household In order to prevent Prince Alex-
exandcr from coming to Berlin to re-enter
the army nnd also in order to
cxclto popular feeling against the
empress. There wns no question of
betrothal. Prince Alexander simply wished
to visit Berlin and It was the intention of the
emperor to confer some military honor upon
him to which Prince Bismarck objected.
"Tho increase of the emperor's tempera
ture is duo to the periodical retention of pus.
It is believed that the disease In the larynx is
dormant. The emperor's power of swallowIng -
Ing is perfect. The doctors advise him to re
main In bed for some days and to refrain
from work nnd excitement. Dr. McKcnzlo ,
in consequence of misapprehensions , did not
invite Dr. Bcrgmann to change the cunula

Gladstone Wends a Letter.
Loxnox , April 20. [ Special Cablegram to

dale this evening n letter was received from
Mr. Gladstone apologizing for his Inability
to attend , and saying : "The seventy dissi
dents led by Lord Hartington have done
more for the cause of coercion nnd misgov-
criiuient in Ireland than seventy torics could
or would have dono. The upshot is that the
government denies . to Ireland even
the plft of local government in the
narrowest sense , until Irishmen aban
don their national aspirations , which
oven Lord Carnarvon , n tory. declared him
self persuaded to satisfy to a reasonable ex
tent. But in ono important particular I de
sire to imitate Lord Hartington namely ; in
abstaining from any act nee'dlessly tending
to infuse pcrsonalbitteruess into an already
painful struggle. I'should feel myself open
to reproach If I bbtered personally into a
conflict with ono whom I have known and
respected so long. I therefore excuse my
self. "
Mr. John Morley , addressing the Kossen-
dale meeting , said that Kossendala was moro
responsible than any other constituency for
the harsh application of n harsh law to ire-
land. Its opponents siia the liberal parti-
was dead , but Its ghost seemed very restless.
It suited Mr. Chamberlain to sail under n
now ( lag , but ho ( Morley ) failed to see why
the old liberal ship should be broken un for
fire wood. The fact was that nil the talk
about the breaking up of the party was
moonshine and their opponents know it.

WASHINGTON , April 20. On motion of Mr.
Anderson of Illinois the senate bill was
passed extending the system of beacon lights
to the Illinois river.
On motion of Mr. Townshcnil the aennto
amendments w.ero concurred in to the mill-
tnry academy bill.
The Indian appropriation bill was then
passed.
Mr. Townshcnd , from the committee on
military attaint reported his bill placing
General W. P. ( 'Baldy ) Smith on the retired
list , with the rank of major general. Placed
on the private calendar.
The pension appropriation bill was'"then
taken up.
Mr. Henderson of Iowa alluded to the re-
rent notion of the house regarding the pur
chase of bonds with the surplus In order to
dispel the doubts In the mind of the presi
dent as to his authority to purchase bonds.
In examining the arrears of the pen
sion act It would bo found there
was no limitation as to the time
when claims should bo filed. The
only limitation ever placed on that act was
found in the appropriation bill. Ho called
the attention of the administration to this
fact , for If the president had trouble in buy
ing bonds with the surplus ho should have
equal dlfllcnlt.V in not allowing arrears of
pensions. Ho appealed to the president to
bo consistent and allow arrears of pensions
to these who Hied claims within the provis
ions of the act. Mr. Henderson then referred
to the administration of the Mexican pension
law. So rapid was the pension bureau , ho
said , in recognizing claims under this law
that pensions were allowed before the clnim-
nuts over put in u claim , and certificates is
sued when the bcfiuiary did not know lie was
a claimant. In proof of this assertion ho
sent to the clerk's desk and had read an arti
cle in a Chicago paper to the of
feet that Commissioner Block had is
sued n pcnsldn to cx-Congrcssmr.ii
Morrison , notwithstanding ho was Informed
Morrison's nnmo did not appear on the list of
applicants , and that Morrison had returned
It , stating ho had never applied for a pension.
Mr. Outhwnlto asked Mr. Henderson to
prove another similar case , saying he was
anxious Mr. Henderson should keep to the
truth.
Mr. Henderson I want truth from your
pious commissioner , who started out In the
administration of his olllcc by charging
against a faithful ofilccr a brother ofllcor
who loft part of his body on a battle Held
( Colonel Dudley ) that during his adminis
tration the pension office from tutrot to
foundation was used for political purposes.
Mr. Outhwnitc Did ho not prove it }
Mr. Henderson No , never. Now "that
same gentleman stands convicted by demo
cratic authority of violating the terms of the
IIHY and swiftly issuing a certificate to a dem
ocratic chief who was too high und too clean
to become n party to the transaction. This
man , who entered upon the discharge of his
? duties with a heaven-erected fnco like a
saint , is caught in n democratic trap. Ho
has pot lower down in struggling for polit
ical influence than any ofllcer I have ever
known.
When the general debate closed amend
ments were adopted providing that in all
cases of pensions to widows payments shall
bo made from the date of the death of their
husbands , and that all ofllcers of the United
States authorized to adminibtcr oaths shall
do so frco of charge.
The committee then rose , ana the bill ,
which appropriates $ b0.2SO,000 , , was passed.
The river and harbor bill was briefly dis
cussed , und the house took a recess until 730 ;

is connected by marriage with Guzman
Blanco , the well know Venezuelan states
man'is in the city on his way to P.iri ? to see
Hhinco. Referring to the difllculty with
England over the disputed territory ho said :
"Tho matter will bo settled quietly , if pos
sible , but if Great Britain will not surrender
the Yarnari district to its rightful owners ,
whyVenezuela will fight. My idea is that the
diflieulty may bo settled quietly if Guzman
Hlanconnd the British government would
come together and have a quiet talk over the
matter. If all attempts nt settlement fall ,
why. then , us I said before , I suppose there
will bo war. 1 am not tin envoy for the gov
ernment but have simply gjt a leave of ab
sence for the purpose of telling Guzman
Blanco curtain things which I could not well
send him in writing. The situation is now
grave and must bo settled one way or the
other soon. Venezuelans will not submit to
bo ousted from the Yarnari district and there
will bo trouble unlfss the liritish govern
ment makes amende for what it lias done. "
General Iberru has been governor of the
Yarnari district for some years und is one of
the most distinguished men in Venezuela.
Considering that ho enjoys Guzman Blunco'R
confidence to an unusually high degree and
that ho is peculiarly qualified to tell him the
precise truth about the Yarnari mine/ft / cm-
brogllo , It is believed by many Venezuelans
that his visit to his Illustrious relative , who
has been residing in Paris for some tillie , will
result in averting n most calamitous war.
