The committee appointed by the Army o
the Cumberland lo erccl a statute to the Into
General Sheridan will commence active ope
ration very shortly. The only member of
tbo committee now In the city is Senator
Mnnderson of Nebraska , "Tho Army of the
Cumberland , " said the senator to-day
"erected in this city the statues- Thomas

of nbout $30,003 , and n similar sum of $30,000

Ol'I.NIOXS ON AX EXTIIA SESSION.
Agitation of the subject of an cxlra sessloi
is causing Iho possibility of Iho early calliug
together of the Fifty-Hrst congress to bo
quite intensively discussed among the members
bers and senators. General llrowno , o
Indiana , when asked to-day as to his opinion
said ho believed there should bo an oxtri
session , but ho did not think i
should ho called before late in
tbo summer or early in the fall
The reason ho assigned for the delay was
that the Immediate reconvening ol congress
after Inauguration would bring down such a
flood of work on the now president that "ho
would bo dead before the first frost. " Major
McICinley , of Ohio , who is as muchlntercstei
as any one man , in the early calling back of
the house , said that in his opinion , no matter
but ono of the utmost public importance
should lead the president to call congress together
gother ior an extra session. Such reasons
would bo furnished In the opinion of M'ljor
McICinley if tbo present house failed lo tils
pose of the surplus question. Ho did no
think oven so Important a matter as the admis
elon.of new states would furnish u neccssao
excuse If the surplus problem is disposed o
"TUB SUBSTITUTE'S" CUANCKB.
"Unless wo uro confronted with some
iinforscca obstaclcand there is factious oppo
Bition lo stay progress , wo intend to pass the
republican substituo for the Mills tariff bil
before we cat our Christmas turkey , " oaiil
Mr Aldrich , ono of the leading republican
members of the senate committee on llnance
this afternoon. "So far , " continued Mr. Aldrich -
drich , "tho democrats have not * shown any
organized or individual determination lo im
pede the progress of Uio bill. I do not be
lieve they Intend to offer any unnecessary
resistance. They appear to be disinclined lo
dcbalo the measure ut tiny considerable
lenirth , and appear to bo iu u ralher disorgan
ized condition. "
IIUMOCIIATIO ] > r8ION8.
There is considerable talk around the
room of the cominitloo on fltmnco to-day
about the designs of democratic members of
tbo house committee on ways and mentis , iu
relation to the republican substitute. It tras
reported , upon the authority of at least one
democratic member of Iho committee on
ways and means , that the committee intends
to secure the passage by the house of a bill
repealing the tobacco tax and "correcting
Homo of the incongruities of the present tarifl
laws. " The object of this bill will , of course ,
bo to oppose the anxiety of the southerners
for an absolute repeal of the tobacco tax , anil
therefore to pigeon-holo the republican hill
when it como over from the senate. A largo
number of the southern members would bo
willing to vote for the republican measure
tor the purpose of securing a repeal of the
tobacco tax. If the house should , before thu
ecnnto bill comes over , puss such a measure
as is proposed by the committee on ways and
tnoans , the democratic members of that committee
believe- the bill would
mittee - republican re-
colvo uono of the southern support , because
there would no longer bo nn excuse for their
voting for it on the ground that it is tosccuro
relief for tobacco. The republican members
of the senate committee an llnanco say they
will readily recommend , and they have no
doubt the scnalu will speedily pass a measure
such ns the ono reported to be in the minds
Of the committee on ways nnd means ,
now Tnu HIM , \vn.i , in : SHELVED.
Mr. By mi m of Indiana , ono of the loading
democratic members of the committed en
ways imd means , said to-day that when the
republican substitute to the Mills bill is re
ceived by the house , it will bo referred lo Iho
commilteo on ways and means , and that a
conference cannot bo ordered until the com
mittee has examined the measure for
the purpose of determining whelhcr
they will ask for a conference
or recommend a concurrence In the amend
ments. When asked if the majority of the
committee would bo inclined to report the
bill back to the House , so that n fair and
equaro vote could bo had upon it , Mr. Hnr-
nuin replied significantly : "That is a ques-
tlim I cannot answer. " When asked If ho
behoved ihu bill would bo passed by the
house , ho readily replied , "No , I do not. In
the first place I don't expect to see the bill
reach the house before Into In January , and
if it should bo placed before the house for
consideration then , there would not bo llmo
to roach thu previous question , or the house
would want to debute it , and consider the
amendments for nt least thirty days. There
are n lot of appropriation bills to bo disposed
of , besides much other legislation of an im
portant nnd necessary character , and 1 think
the house will havu no lima lo lalk tariff.
WILL VKTO TUB D1IIF.CT TAX HILL.
Mr. Ureckcnrldgo , of Arkansas , who is
prominent on the commlttoo on ways and
means , said this afternoon : "I have no doubt
that I tic dlrccl tax bill will bo passed by the
house next week , nnd if there are any amend
ments to it they will bo concurred in by Dm
senate , bul if I was the president I abould
surely veto it. " There seems to bo nn almost
unanimous belief among the committee- that
the president will vclo Iho dlrccl tax bill.
MAUONI : rou A FOIIEION MISSION.
Virginia republicans very generally and
democrats from that state , nro almost unani
mously predicting that General Mahouo will
bo given a foreign mission under President
Harrison. They contend that this would
bring about harmony in the party in the Old
Dominion. Ono of General Muhono's most
Intimate friends said , this afternoon , that the
general would not accept u second-class mis
sion aud ho doubted If the now administra
tion would bo willing to give him a ilrst-class
mission.
A "moor corr. "
To-day rv "proof copy" of the congressional
directory for the second session of this con.
grens wus received from the government
printing ofllco by Senator Mnndersou , chair
man of the committee on printing. It con
tains the unofficial list of the members-elect
6 ? the Fifty-llrst congress , therefore indi
cates just \vii3t the republicans claim as to
the political complexion for the next houso.
It gives the republicans u majority of three.
Senator Mandorson believes thU margin is
no close that if there is any Important legis
lation to work upon President Harrison will
bo justified In an early calling of the extra
session. What the republicans very much
desire is organization und action as soon as
possible upon partisan questions of great
Importance ,
DENOUNCING TUB MAIL SKIIVICK.
Since the election , con'plalnts about tlio
cxccrubla mall sorvleo throughout the coun
try uro piling into Washington like a Hood.
Several democratic congressmen have re
ceived letters from their constituents making
complaints about delays in the transmission
and delivery of mall , aud the letters making
the complaints are in some Instances delayed
as IOUK a week or ten days. One western
congressman received a letter two weeks old
complaining thnt it often took three or four
days to act a letter from point to point In one
state. People in Washington now almost
invariably get their mall one day later than
they did a year ngo. Much of the mall from
extreme southern iwlnU is two days behind
time.
There has been so much feeling worked up
over the miserable mail service that a de
mand will bo made within forty-eight hours
after 1'resId nt Harrison is inaugutnt < f\ '
for the removal of the superin
tendent of tlio railway mall service
and the division superintendents of
the mall service. Then will como demands
from the people , democrats along with the
republicans , for n complete sweep of the in
efficient railway employes. Much of the
blnmo for the wholesale delays In the trans
mission and delivery of mall Is laid nt the
doors of men connected with the railway
mall service. A great deal of coin plaint ,
however , is charged to the postmasters in
the largo cities. They nro rcsDonsiblo for
tlio employment nnd retention of incfllciont
employes. The democrats anpear to bo fully
ns much Interested in having a good mall ser
vice , oven though their friends connected
with It must bo removed , to uivo plnco to
capable men , ns the republicans arc. It is
believed that there will bo a reinstatement of
nearly ( ill of the capable republicans who
wcro removed from the mall service during
the llrst year or two of the present adminis
tration. The younger men who were re
moved will very largely be called back to
their posts of duty.
WHAT WILL IXdAI.l.S OI'.T }
Many surmises .ore hoarded around the two
houses of congress .is to what will bo ilono
after the 4th of March next , in the way of
couimittco positions for Mr. Ingalls , presi
dent pro tempore of the senate , and Speaker
Carlisle , of the house , Vice-Presldcnt Mor
ton will take the presiding olllcer's ' gavel in
tlio senate after inauguration day , nnd Mr.
iugalls will go back to his scat on the lloor
during the regular proceedings. Ho has ,
during the two years ho has been president
| ) ro tcmporeof thu senate , and for some time
prior to that period , been chairman of the
committee on the District of Columbia.
Some senators believe that the distinction
given Mr. Ingalls by his services in the
presiding ofllcer's chair \vlll recommend him
to a higher committee appointment , and that
ho will bo called to the chairmanship of the
committee on foreign rotations in the event
Mr. Sherman , who is its presenl chairman ,
is made secretary of state under President
Harrison.
It is not ut all likely that the fact that Mr.
Ingalls has presided over the senate for
some time will operate to elevate him in his
committee relations. Mr. Edmunds ranks
second on the committee on foreign relations ,
but since ho is chairman of thu committee on
judiciary ho would not bo promoted to the
chairmanship of foreign relations , but Mr.
Frye , who is the third member on Iho com
mittee , it is believed , will bo called to the
chairmanship. Mr. Fryo is , probably , the
most thoroughly versed in diplomatic affairs
of any man in the senate , with the exception
of Mr. Sherman.
The question among democratic members
is whether Speaker Carlisle will go upoa the
committee ou ways and means or appropria
tions. If ho should bo given a position on
the iirst named committee- would , of
course , want to rank Chairman Mills , who
will undoubtedly bo retained on the commit
tee , mid some members think that Mr. Mills
would not want to bo placed below
the head of the democratic sldo of
the committee. Friends of both men
say that beyond reasonable doubt
Mr. Carlisle will have the llrst seat on the
democratic side of tlio committee on ways
and means , and thin Mr. Mills will sit beside
und not below him. Neither ol thcso men
want a place on the committed on appropria
tions , Hoth are deeply interested in the
tariff , and if they wcro not placed on the
ways and moans committee , would undoubt
edly prefer to go upon some insignillcaut
committee which would take noither'time
nor attention.
THE SO-OAU.ED TJ-.O8T INVKSTIHATIOX.
After all nothing is to come of the long ,
tedious and expensive investigation by the
house committee on manufactures into the
subject of trusts. It is now very plain that
this investigation was conducted with a view
to obtaining information which could bo
used against the republican party in the
campaign just closed. The democrats in
the house believed tUnt an investigation Into
trusts would provo that trusts are formed
only under high tariff , and thai thorn uro no
trusts excepting those affecting highly pro
tected articles. A partial report was made
of the investigation to thu house a short time
before the last session closed , but there was
nothing material in it , nnd no action is to betaken
taken upon it. The whole business is to fall
Hat as an unsuccessful political effort.
On the contrary , Iho republicans in the
senate have determined to push thrf Sher
man null-trust bill to a. llnnl adoption. The
contrast between the beginning and closing
of the efforts of the representatives of the
two parties on the one subject is very great.
Tlio democrats in the house started out to
"expose" the republican party for Its con
ncctlon with trusts , anil now it winds up
after the election with nothing to show for
its talk and with no indication of accomplish
ing anything. The republicans said nothing ,
but sawed wood. They quietly reported a bill
and placed it upon the calendar. The elec
tion passed over , and now the bill is to betaken
taken up and passed. Ono was for political
buncombe and the ether for the good of the
country.

Sunnto With Noglnot of Duty.
WASHINGTON , Doo. 8. The Evening Star
tas the following : There is a feeling of great
inxlety and depression among the leaders or
ho democratic party in the house on account
of the course being followed by tlio demo
cratic senators in the tariff matter. They
are almost disheartened by it , The demo
crats of the ways and ineaus committee put
heir souls into the fight in the housa and
eel that the battle Is still on nnd must ho
copt up to the lust. They think thnt the
senate bill should bo fought with thogreatcst
lorslstcncy and vigor , so thnt every defect in
t may bo exposed , and feet that any other
course toward it would bo equivalent almost
to a confession of Judgment. They are sur-
irlsod at the passive way in which the demo
cratic senators appear to conducting them
selves. Nearly all the hard worlc in getting up
facts and figures has boon done by the ways
md moans committee , and the senators have
mt to possess themselves of information now
; asy of access ; yet it is complained that they
mvo shown no disposition to do BO , and none
of thorn have undertaken a vigorous chain-
ilonehip of tbo party's cause.
All the democrats of the house want is
hat tbo defects they think they sco in the
enato bill should bo dragged out in daylight
ana vigorously nttackod nnd denounced. They
don't care whether the bill passes the senate
or not , and Ihsy do not want to uavo
o take it up in the hOio ! at all this session ,
I'hoy desire tiuxt the dcneoratlo ; senators
hall make every point possible agsii'.st the
noasuro , nnd then , when it reaches the
louse , it will bo allowed to lie in committee.
They say , however , that they cannot afford
o let tbo bill go without criticism , as it has ,
iractically , so fur , and that If the senators
all to do their duty tbo ways and means
commlttoo will bo obliged to take it up.

Dec. 8. The rcichstag adjourns
on December 15 nnd will rcasscmbla nbout
Hie middle os January. The critical sltua-
Uon in Eastern Africa , where the Arabs nro
effectually wiping out Ucrman colonists and
clearing the territory of every vcstlgo of the
German regime , will force more ample ex-
planalions of. Germany's policy than the
chancellor Intended. It is reported to-uight
thai the chancellor may yet relieve Count
Herbert of the responsibility of making cx-
plnnalions , and como himself to tl.o rclclistng
on Thursday to disclose his scheme for a
restoration of German Influence. Until
recently the chancellor has not had any
cnlhusinsm about East Africa enter
prise , nnd would rather have
avoided national action tending toward
something like the Tonquin expedition.
lie now feels the stimulus of excitement that
is spreading throughout Germany , and , ac
cording to ofllciol information , is determined
to protccl Ibe Hag throughout the ceded ler-
ritories.
There is a strong and growing party in the
rclchslag which advocates the purchase of
the East Africa company's rights by the gov
ernment and the subscnucnt formation of a
'
military post to guard the colonies and trad-
ers.
ers.A
A white book , tabled in the relchstag to
day , Llames the company's administration as
productive of disaster. The conclusion
reached after scanning the white book is
that the Germans would not bo in a worse
plight. There Is every indication that su
premacy and the absolute abandonment of
the territory are the only alternatives.
Indications of the chancellor's project ap
pear In a dispatch to Count Von
Hatzfoldt , the German ambassador
at London , under date of October 22 ,
in which Iho chancellor says thai the vast
extent of country , combined with the cll-
inatlo conditions , stands in the way of at
tempts to carry civilization far into Iho in-
lerior. The dispatch is interpreted as fore
shadowing an expedition into the interior
with indefinite limits.
Emperor William is making a special study
of events in East Africa , the condition of
warfare in that region , what force would bo
required , aud how far operations should ex
tend. Ixist evening ho had n conference on
the subject witn Count Herbert Uisniarclc
sind Count Von Woldera.
The chancellor has sent Lieutenant Wise-
mann to Brussels to interview King Leopold
with reference tu the proposed Belgian ox-
pedllion lo Central Africa. Prince Bismnrck
asks King Leopold to preside over the inter
national slavery conference , displacing the
papal president. The reports current to
night refer to a plau of the East Africa com
pany to recruit volunteer force of 2,501
men , undcr'Uie approval of the government ,
for service in the interior , while the regular
force occupies selected coast positions.
The discussion of the aged workman's insurance
suranco bill promises to lead to niodillcatlons
acccptahle to the progressists. Minister Von
Boottlchcr was honest in his declaration lhat
the government was ready to adopt nny rea
sonable alteration of the bill. Some features
to which Herr Von Grlllenberger raised ob
jections will bo removed. The payments to
the insured will probably begin nt the age of
05 ; the amount of relief will bo increased ,
and a couimittco of insured workmen will bo
formed to prepare stalules lo regulate the
administration of the funds. The courts of
arbitration on disputed cases will consist of
equal numbers of workmen and employers.
Fierce party polemics have arisen over the
defeat of the cartel candidate for the relchs
tag , for Mollo and DIepholz , Hanover. The
well known national liberal , Herr Saltier ,
demanded re-election on account of his re
ceiving a new odlcial appointment. In 16S7
ho obtained 7,0'M votes , against 7,230 for the
combined Guelpli nnd progressist can
didate. Now ho obtained only
5,600 votes , against 8,000 for Iho
opposition , The progressists are jubilant ,
holding that the victory is not isolated or
phenomenal , but that it proves there is a
popular movement against the cartel parties.
They point to thirteen side elections since the
general election , each disclosing u decrease
in the cartel party's voto.
The Cologne Gazette attacks the pro
gressists us ready to unite with any enemy
of German unity Guolph , Polo , Dane or
French malcontents if they only can suc
ceed in weakening the government. The
government organs generally do not conceal
their fears of a tendency to alteration In the
popular huffrago , but argue that the na
tional sentiment , which was rearrousod at
the general election , will again give triumph
to tlio cartel parties. \
The health of the emperor has so improved
that ho is preparing to go on Wednesday on
a shooting expedition in Hanover. Tlio jour
ney depends on Iho weather , his doctor's ad
vising him to avoid exposure to severe cold.
Tbo oDlcials within the emperor's circle are
made to fcol the influence of his pain nnd
confinement in his intense irritability and
constant demands for unnecessary work.
Appeals to the emperor to release Prof.
Gcftcken are received with disfavor. The
oinporor declares that ho cannot Interfere
with the prosecution. On the other hand ,
ho has abandoned the action instituted by
him as residuary legatee of his father against
the Kiclcr Zcitung for publishing Frederick's
diary of 18(50. (

President Dechcrd of the Roichs bank says
that the discount rale of 4J .por cent has
nothing to do with ttio Russian loan. The
bourse attributes the rise chiefly to the ro-
iiulremcnls of the government for nn imme
diate advance of 80,000,000 marks for arma
ment. The money Is raised on the treasury
bill. The bankers do not agree as to tlio
necessity for the increase of the rate. Money
is abundant , and the bullion supplies of the
Helens bank are increasing. The Russian
loan meets with scant encouragement , and
the Issue Is certain to fall tint here. In

CmcAtio , Dec. S. At a meeting nf tlic nn-
nrohlsts lust night u cnll for n mass-meeting
to bo UoUl to-morrow at 5-1 West Lake
street was issued , and it was an
nounced that , in case the police
slionia Interfere with this meeting ,
adjournment \vould bo tnltou to Haymnrkot
square , tlio scene of the historical bomb-
Ihrowlng.and that nn opon-nir mooting would
bo hold thoro. This is the boldest
utterance since that fateful " 'H"1 ' !
and trouble is anticipated. 1 ho
best oviilcneo of the truth of
tills statement is shown in the fact that Chief
of 1'olico Ilubbard to-day issuoH nn order
holding nearly the entire city policeof l.r 00
inun in reserve at the various stations ready
to bo concentrated ut uuy given point on
short notice. * ' ' ' .
When asked whatlio proposed to do Chief
Hubbardsaid : "They will not meet either
nt No. 51 West I-nke street or in Haymarket
scjuaro ; nor , for that matter , will they meet
nny where in Chicago , either In a hall or in
the open nir. If they attempt It there will bo
u tight. U'e positively will not allow any
more anarchist meetings. More than that , I
mn making u full list of all the saloons and
halls where the anarchists congregate , and
will recommend to the mnyor that their li
censes bo revoked. There will bo no tempo-
rarlzing and no hesitancy. From tills time
on anv miarchlst meeting will bo broken up
or prevented. I don't think they want to
light very badly , but if they do they can have
all tlioy want. " , ,
In the afternoon Chioniubbard summoned
the proprietor * of : Croft's hall , nt .M West
Umo street , and Ihose. at O'K ) Blue Island
avenue and IM < J Milwaukee avenue. I ho
chief told them emphatically that they must
allow no further meetings of anarchists in
their halls. Tlia proprietors commenced to
argue that the meetings v ere peaee.iblc , but
were interrupted by the chief with the in U
million that ho would not argue that ques
tion. Whether the meetings were peaceable
or not made no difference. Thoj wore heh
for the dissemination of lawless and incendi
ary ideas and , must be abolished. JNO satis
factory settlement was arrived at , and th <
chief ended the consultation by saying :
"I have told you that you must not allov
hiich meetings In your halls in the future
Tharo is no room for arguments , if , \ mallow
allow any more you do so at your own peril
Good day. "
Editor Denss , of the Arbelter Zeltung
wus seen by a reporter this evening ,
Ho wive present at Greff's hall riday
ni lit at tlio meeting when it was claimed by
tlio police tli.it a threat was made that if the
Sunday afteinoon meeting at the snuio place
was broko'i up another meeting should beheld
held in the open air on the site of the Hay-
inarkct massacre. Deuss said that what
might have boon said was this , that if , tlio
police insisted upon breaking up u peaceable
meeting , without an order of tlio court , an
open uir meeting should bo held , outot whieli
n test cose might bo made. Douss , although
claiming to have been presentat the meeting ,
would not , when pressed , say that this was
'said , but that it might have been said.
The Arbeiter Bund , it Is said , is well cs
tablishcd andiscomuoscd of the most radical
anarchists and socialists to be found any
where , and though its mooting is usually
an open affair , this.is simply for the purpose
of. making converts to its doctrine.
At ( ' ' 5 Milwaukee avenue there was to
have been a continuation of the mass meet
ing held at the Aurora Turner hall last Sun
day for the purpose of forming an onrauira-
tion to take hold of the secular Sunday
schools. This meeting was to have been
held under tlio auspices of the central
school board , composed of delegates from
tlio three socialistio Sunday schools now in
existence.
Jens Chnstence , a Dane , who claims to bo
a mild typo of socialist , and who lias been
employed as superintendent of these schools ,
was asked lo-uighl what they would do if
tlio meeting was prohibited. Ho said :
"What the members of the board will do I
don't know. I can only spaals for my
self , and I am in favor of holding
tlio mealing. The police have no right
to interfere. If they succeeded in intimidat
ing the proprietors of the hall , and they re
fuse to let us have the use of it , of course
that ends it. Hut If the proprietors cannot
bo intimidated I shall bo in favor of having
the meeting , and 1 itm willing to conduct it.
If the police order ps to disperse I don't
think 1 shall pay any attention to them. If
they use violence and club us they may dis
perse us. They can do it by violence , but
not by authority of law. Whether wo hold a
meeting or not depends upon ttio school
board , which meets In tlio morning. "
Talk to-night is that thu saloonkeepers wi
take stops to sue the city for damages under
tlio Cole conspiracy law. They claim that
the reports circulated by the police and news
papers have injured their business , and that
therefore they arc entitled to some sort of
rcpuratitili. _ _
