If , by any hook or crook , the democrats in
the lower house should Instruct their clerk
to enter n majority of democratic mimes on
the roll ot tliu Fjfiy-liist congress , it is prob
able that there will bo a very stormy scene
when that bod.j convenes in extra session in
December of next yenr. It is not generally
understood , but the best pailiumcntnrinns in
Washington say that a single objection to the
swearing in of n member of the house will
Btiind him aside , subject to the decision of the
contest , which must take the icgulur course.
The most candid and better class of
democrats in the house , say it is
butter that their party should not try to
count in u majority of the next house , and
they uro ndvlsmg Iraiikncss and an mimed !
nto acknowledgement that the republicans
will oigtiul/o the Fiftj first congtess. There
arc , however , qulto n number of deinociatlo
members who uro determined to light the
question to the end , und they will rcsoit to
every possible dlsicputable move to bcctiro
the organiznllon. Mho Jiist move when n
now congiess is called to older by the old
clerk is the election of the speaker. When
that officer takes his seat ho directs the old
clerk to call thu loll of members. Thu
ututes nro called in alphabetical oulcr , and
blocks of about twenty inembois take
positions in front of thu speaker
and nro by that officer sworn m If n mem
ber appeals upon tlio call of the clerk , whoso
right to the scat is questioned , a member
whose title is unquestioned may rise nnd ob
ject to thu oath being administered , nnd he
must stand aside. Some of the siiiewdest
mid oldest republican members in tlio city ,
who uio elected to tliu next congress , say
Unit they propose to object to the swearing
in ot tlio democrats , who uro claiming elec
tion , In one district in each of tlio states of
Maryland , North Carolina , Louisiana , Ten
nessee , Virginia , and three in West
Virginia in all eight where the
republicans huvo undoubtedly elected
members. If the governois in these states
should Issue certificate's to these democrats ,
they will , therefore , not be pn milted to take
the oalli. It may bo chinned democrats
that this objecting process can bo conducted
on both sides of the house , nnd that as. ( list
ns the republicans object to a democi.it tak
ing the oath the democrats can object to u
republican , which will have the elTect of
making n stand-off. Tlicio isnothini ; in this ,
however , as every republican who will pre
sent himself for thu administration of thu
oath will have a perfect right to i ccelvu it ,
and it will amount to n public i evolution for
the democrats' , mc-rcly to "get oven , " object
ing to the swearing in of men against whom
there is not the slightest ie.il objection. If
nil these eight districts wcio given over to
the democrats tlio democratic puity would
huvon"majority of ono in tlio next house.
But tliero is not one chnnco in fifty that all
these districts can bo stolen , not ono chance
In a bundled that ull of them could be held ,
oven if the democratic povci nors issue cer
titlcntes to their candidates for congress. In
the event of a wholesale challenge to the
sweating in of democrats who have no right
to take the oath , it Is uossible that the demo
crntlc side of the house will refuse to net
with the icpuhlicans , and that the.\ will
leave the hall of the house of repiosentative'i
nnd establish in nn Independent body. Presi
dent Humson , however , would undoubtedly
recognize the body that remained , und only
Us acts could bo mudo legal.

ble Special to Tin : Bii.l : Aicmb.ild Forbes
contributed a spirited article to thu P.Ul Mall
Gurotto lust evening on the military ability
of General Sheridan , apropos of the publi
cation of the hitter's memoirs in London
ycsteiday. IIo begins by combatting Lord
Wolseloy's theory that a successful com
mundeir must bo u muster of military history
und arts , und cites the notiblo achievements
of the citizen soldiers in the civil war. Sher
idan , ho says , was a graduate of West Point ,
but ho was not an apt scholar , and there is
no hint in his memoirs that ho over , nftor
graduation , opened a book treulmg of Iho art
of war. Eight years of Indian scrvico
strengthened in him the American virtues of
self icliance , judicious boldness , stibtlcly and
adaptability. He served in obscure capacities
during the caily pirt of the war , until Grant
nun Iced his merit and made him commander
of the cavalry coips of the urmy of the Po
tomac.
In conclusion , Torncs says that so brilliant
was Sheridan's work as n civalry leader that
his nnmo has como to bo associated chiefly
with that role , but in this injustice h is been
done him , for ho handled armies with equal
skill , enterprise mid success. In the final ,
llarc'-st struggle , that culminit.nl in Leo's '
surrender nt Appo'iiuttox Court House , ho
stands out us the principal figure , in whoso
tuck of tornado like energy Grunt seemed
to follow tamely.
In the soldietly chaiacteristics ot Sheri
dan and bkobeloff , there was much in com
mon. Both men had innate milituiy genius ;
both had magnetism which inspiicd to hero
ism the men thoi led , who , when occasion
called , became vciitablo thnndei bolts of war.
Uoth hud tl'oir lighting vigor under control ,
nnd both wcro endowed with infinite capacity
for taking pains to achieve success.

has created a great impression on the pope
nnd the matter will bo considered at the next
meeting of the holy conference , which will ,
it Is expected , follow the precedent set in the
Knights of Labor case and decide against

was Intended that the iccolpi of the docu

the bishops should pioctcd to enforce the

without ulludlug to the existence of tlio second

the indiscretion of u servant of the bishop of

TUB HIM : . ] Up to tlio present time there has
been but llttlo interest shown hero in the
fate of the three llohemlims charged with
conspiring to hill Judges Oarv and Grinnoll
ami Inspector Honllold with dynamite , but
the startling developments of the 111 it wit
ness for the itato to-day will show the im-
poi lance of tno trial. The testimony shows
that theio was a well laid plan to murUor
these three men , who wcro so conspicuous In
the bringing of Spies nnd his followers to
justice , and It was also brought 'out that
there was n plot to nsansshmto President
Cleveland when ho drove thiough Chicago a
year ago last spi ing.
"Wo will show , " said Stnto Attorney
Longneclier , when the Jury in the exso
against Jobn Hronck had taken their seats
this morning , "how this man , with Trank
Chnpelt , Fiank Chleboun nnd HtldolphSovic ,
conspired to murder Judge Gary , Judge
Grinnell nnd Inspector Uonflclit. Wo will
show how these men talked their project
over together ns calmly as you would discuss
u business project. Wo will show that John
llionck had his house fairly filled with
bombs , how he took one of them , provided
with n ilftcen-uilnutti fuse , out on
thu prairie to CNpciiincnt. fto will
show how Hionek went ono
evening to play a panic of billiards and took
a bomb from Ins pocket and placed it in a
drawer , while ho laid his overcoat nsido. Wo
will show how the four had the pictures of the
men they expected to murder , and then went
to Aldino square , where Judge Uriunull lived ,
and located his house. Wo will bring sonio
of these bombs into court , and Inspector
Bonticld will tell how he exploded one , and
what fono it had. Don't shudder , gentle
men. I don't say that wo will biing iu auy
loaded bombs. "
J'ho state's attorney then said that if It
wcio not proven that the bombs were to bo
used for illegal purposes he did not aslc for a
conviction , lie only wanted to give an im
partial trial , lint , ho said , the Jury must not
thimc that because they were selected in n
duy it was a trivial case. On the contrary , it
was ono of the most impoitant imairituiblc
Mr. Longneekor closed with an appeal to the
Jury to mete out Justice and punish the de
fendant bofoie he took the lives of innocent
men.
Air. Goldrter , for the defense , talked nearly
three quai tors of an hour to the Jury. IIo
flist assailed tlio new dynamite law , under
which Ilronek was indicted. It was passed ,
ho said , in the heat of p ission , when the people
ple of the stale \\eio mllamcd by the tetriblo
event of May 4 , 1 6. To prove that the
statute was a product of the ueoplo's anger
and passion , the lawyer said , it was neces
sary to compare it with thootticr laws on thu
statute books. Murder may be punished
with death , or the Jurv may regard mitigat
ing c-ren instances and And the slayer guilty
of in mslaugliter and bond him to prison for n
year , The dynamite law imposes a penalty
of not less than live years nor moro than
twenty-live the law being second in severity
only to the law punishing murder. The
punishment was gia itar than that for
buiglary , a crime from which the people of
Chicago had suffered severely. Mr. Goldzier
said ho did not want the Jurors to treat the
law with contempt , but its character should
be taken into consideration.
Hionok's defense , Mr. Goldzier said , would
bo simple. Afte- the Haymarkot riot many
anarchibts , knowing their guilt , lied the citv.
Among these was a man named Karallat ,
about whom little Is known , except that he
was employed in the rolling mill. Kuraflat
culled at Hronek's house and left
n box containing dynamite , which
ho saul ho would call fdr the ne < t
duy. Ho never came back , but left
the city , und Ilronek was compelled to keep
the stuff. This explanation , the attorney
said , was not a whit moro nnprobiblo than
the story about u horriulo plot , which the
state would bnug out by the testimony of an
informer.
Jud0'e kongneckor called out. "Franlc
Chleboun , " and a tall , well-built Dohemian ,
with a round and not b id looking face ,
stepped forward , from the bank pirt of the
court loom. Ilo looked frightened as ho
mounted the witness stand. The witness
could spcuk no English , and his testimony
was all given through an intcrpiotcr. IIo
was born in Hohemm and cumo to this coun
try six years ago. His acquaintance ) with
Ilronek was made at an anarchist meeting
just after the Hnvmarket massacre. "On
the last Sunday in Mafi went to his house , "
said Chleboun. "Ho showed mo a plan ,
which ho had made for burning n lumber
yiud. lie showed mo seine iion und tin
bombs , and told me he could gut dynamite at
Chapek's house to 1111 them. "
A tin can , about live inches high , 1J In dia
meter , and containing a smaller can in the
center , wus pioduced. It was covered with
n prcttv pipjr pictuie , and was labelled
"Cure for Rheumatism " Chlebonn said
th.it some of the bombs were like this , and
then tliroe iron gas-pipe bombs
were produced and identified ns being
like the others shown by llronok.
All the bombs shown had iellow fuses pro
jecting from them. The Impost was ubout
one and u quarter inches in diameter and
about eight inches in length. Another was
about two inches in diameter by three in
length , and the third was about one Inch in
diameter by four inches long. Thov were
placed on the attorneys' tublo in full view of
the Jury.
"When did you see him again ? " continued
the state's attorney.
"On June H. 1 wont with him to III versldo.
and Hronek placed u tin bomb on the ground
under u little bridge nnd fastened a tuso to
It. IIo took out his watch and found that
the fane burned down to the bomb in thir
teen minutes "
Chlcbnun told of n number of meetings
with Hronok ai the hitter's house and in
vnrious saloons On ono occasion Hronek
Hhowed him u lot of dynamite , bearing the
trade mark of the /Ktnu Powder company ,
Inspector Honfluld unwrapped n big package -
ago and displayed the article , which Chlebonn
identified uben the state's attorney held
them up before him. "Hronek , " said the
witness , "wanted to kill Jionllcld. He said
ho must have revenge on Jionllold , Gary und
Grmnull for thu do ith of the anarchists. "
Chleboun then told of the trip to Aldino
simio ( to view the residence of Judge Grin-
null. "Hronok , " ho said , "had got the direc
tions ns to how to get to thu pluco from n
German named Schneider. On the way back
llionuk talked about u plan to blowup Judge
( innnull'H house. IIo said that if the judge
could not bo killed any other way ho would
go into the com I room nnd throw a bomb ut
nun , and If the police interfered ho uould
have u bomb for them. Ho said ho hud a
splendid opportunity to kill lionfleld once ,
and was sorry he wus not prcpai cd at the
time to do it. Then theio was an agreement
between Chnpnk nnd Hronuk. Hronok
waited to kill ( irlnnell first , but Chapok wus
in favor of making lionlleld the first victim
Hronek said ho wanted to tnko ull the re
sponsibility of the killing himself , nnd after
ho was hung ho wanted Cluipuk nnd me to
avenge his death. He said that uhen the
president was here he would huvo thrown a
bomb under his currhigo il Schneider had
not prevented htm. "
Chloboun then related several other con
vocations of the sumo character. On ono
occasion , Hronok , ho said , showed him a plan
of the stieots and alleys In the neighborhood
of Judge Griniiell'u house , At another ttma
ho wus shown photographs of Grinnoll. Gary
and lion flold , which Hionuk and S vlo had.
Judeo Lougucckor asked the nltness If ho
over told uuybody those thluga previous to
his arrest , when ho confessed to Inspector
Ltonflold He said he had , but had promised
the man nn his honor not to tell" It took the
st.iio's ntlornpy sonio | tlnie to make him
understand that ho mtitttcll , but he tlnnlb
said it was a friend ofih \ \ named IMsher
Tisher went to Inspector Hontield nnd re

He snid that Hronek tnid told him on the

letter commenting on the verdict iu n llbc
suit bi ought against a in-ovinclal newspaper
It seems that in the existing "newspaper

nnd founded on an existing statute in Nov\ \
York slate , there Jjccur the words
"Public benefit , " Jjlutrodncod thus
"Newspapers sluUl possess the right tc

no malicious Intention on the part of the pub

tioned was pu/zled over the word "benefit , "
says tlio committee. The letter in the Times ,
after quoting Webster's definition of the
word , says ;
"The case against the words 'public ben
efit' was put In a nutshell by
the pertinent question addressed by
the foreman of the Jury to the
Judge 'Can It possibly be for the
public good to publish a libel 1' The reply of
Mr. Justice Dcnmnn , which enabled the
Jury to give a vcidiot in accordance with
their inclinations , simply amounts to nn as
sertion that , the act of parliament contem
plated something different to the ordinary
meaning convoyed by the word. "
The Idler concludes by calling attention
to tlio fact that the pending bill before par
liament substitutes the words "public con
coin" for "publm benefit , " thus shutting out
from begcfit anything In the nature of a
private scandal or Irrelevant public attacks
upon personal character , but relieving repor
ters from the invidious , nud Indeed impossi
ble , task of discriminating between that portion
tion of the speech which is and that portion
which is not for public advantage or profit.
The committee then expresses the opinion
that the word "concein" in the place of the
word "benefits" may bo preserved in the bill
against a notice filed In the commons to re
place the word "benefits. "

Effect * of tlio Storm.
ATIANTIC Cm , N. .1. , Nov. 27 The stern :
lias abated and thu sun is now shining
brightly. A survey of the situation shows
that no such deslrtiction to property on this
beach has been known slncu the Incorpora
tion of the city. Hundreds of property own
ers from Philadelphia nnd other localities
have come down , fearing that their propeity
would bo swept away last night. L'ho tide
receded to day and thu son , under the inllu-
cnco of n northwest wind , wns bsnton down ,
but the result , especially in the lower portion
tion of the city , is ono of almost complete
destruction. The work of tlio waves wns
quick and complete , and Individual losses arc
nuuieioim.
In the excursion house district the destruc
tion of propoity Is enormous , although unex
pected , as the survey shows that for twenty
rears the beach In that section has elringcd
but little , and danger from storms was not
anticipated.
The beach to-day Is lined with thousands
of residents and visitors , including photo
graphers and artists , sketching the ruins.
Many of the sufferers by the storm are people
ple of moderate mo ins , and their losses will
be severely felt in the coming winter.
COIASSIT , Mass , Nov. 27 It is reported
that the Philadelphia collier Allentown
foundered oil this port. There seems to bo
littlu doubt that n steamer sunk on
some ol the ledges directly outsulo this
port. At about 2 p m. Sundui n number of
people nt tlioillago heard iv steamer's
whistle , and last night an immense amount
of wreckage came aslioro at Sand Grove
and on Sandy Beach , the marks upon which
Indicated conclusively that the wrecked
vessel must have been the Allontown. Tno
Allcnt6wn cleared from Philadelphia on the
21st last , for Salem , Muss , witti 1lift ) tons
of coal. She wus commanded by Captain
O'Diornc , nud had a crew of c-ichtcen men.
The vessel is ono of the Philadelphia and
Kondiug Coal and Iron company's line of
colliers.
All day long wreckage of various descrip
tions has been coming ashore all along the
beaches , moro particularly nt S mdy Cove.
Huge timbers , spars , cabin furniture , line
inside ) fiirnishinirs , chaiis , life preservers
and other articles anpcitaining ton steamer's
outfit , and many of them stamped with the
woid "Allontown , " have been scon in the
breakers oft the shore and found along the
u.iter front. This wreek.igo tells too plainly
that tlio fine iron steamer Allcntown has
been broken up on ono of the huge sunken
ledges near this port , always a terror to
mariners.
Captain Nathaniel W. Treat , ono of Cohas-
set'sold sea-faring men , and from whom the
fitst intimation of the disaster came , said
that in his opinion the vessel had foundered
cither on the sea ledges or on the grampus ,
which arc long , sunken ledges lying about
thieornilos from the nearest point of the
main land. If such is the case , the vessel
must have gone down , with nil on board ,
within a very few minutes after striking , .
Since the early reports of the sunposod catas
trophe , many of the villagers have been seen ,
and they say they distinctly heard the steam
er's wlnstlo shoi tly after noon on Sunday , re
peated at brief intervals , fornn hour or more ,
us if signalling for assistance or n pilot. The
air was so thick at the tlmo that nothing
could bo seen at so great u dist nice from
shore , and oven it any observation could
have been made no boat could live iu the tremendous -
mondous sea then prevailing.
The schooner La Sanoa , before reported as
stranded on Pleasant Beach , 1ms gone to
pieces. Her deck was lifted clear oft" the
vessel and piled iu a confused mass on the
beach beside the hull of another schooner.
Summer cottages and similar structures on
the water front arc wtccked , and their rums
line the beaches. Many of the beautiful
drives to the summer residences are washed
away or ba'lly gullied and covered with
wreckage. The greatest damage to land
property is along Crescent beach , between
Green ifill and Gun Uock. Along this stretch
is a line of from twenty to thiity small sum
mer cottages , averaging in size about 20.\I0 !
feet. There is not a single ono of these that
docs not boar the marks of the terrible force
of the storm. Some of them were lifted from
their foundations and carried back
several feet. The total loss to
property on this beach will rc.ich
many thousands of dollars. At the
Hotel Nataskot the covered promenade , con
necting it with the Uoeklnnd cafe , was pai tly
destroyed by the wind. The load bed of the
Nut.iskct beach branch of the Old Colony
railroad is entirelj' washed out from'tho
Hotel Stumiish to a point half u mile north
west of the Ocean house. Iho wrecked

The Sivltchiuon'H Strike.
, Nov. 27. No material
change developed in the switchman's strike
to-day. Business has nearly resumed its old-
time activity with the railroads as the now
men become familiar with their work. Nona
of the striken have thus far offered to re
sume work , and fully two thirds of their
places have already boon filled , and applica
tions for work continue to bo made. The
strikers seem to bo getting farther away
each dny from a realization of their object ,
und , unless the railroads icceive a setback
from some unexpected quuitor , It looks ns
though the strikers will bo compelled to seek
employment elsewhere. The police aio still
kept on duty at the principal yards
and crossings , but their labors con
slst solely in walking about. A
committee from the strikers mot for a con-
feicnce last night , nnd counselled to-day with
individual engineers , firemen nud brakemeu.
But it cannot bo learned that they secured
anything more than sympathy or a promise
of assistance from cither the engineers or
llrnmen. The Central Labor union bus de
cided to investigate the Justice of the switch
men's position , and a committee of thtee , ap
pointed hist night , will investigate it.
