Slavery at Philadelphia.
PHILADELPHIA , Pa. , Jan. 2. The celebra
tion of tlio llrst quarter century of omancina-
tion from slavery began this afternoon.
Many of ttioso present were of n freed race ,
and they listened intently. Hov. B. F. Lee ,
ox-president of Wilbcrforco university , and
now editor of the Christian Hecordcr. and
' I Hcv. Dr. K. J. Allen , secretary at tlio Free
man's Hoard of the Presbyterian assembly ,
Bpoko at length. Hon. Fred Douglas ob
jected to calling the southern question "a
negro problem. " because it was untrue ,
misleading and had n tendency to ob
struct the path of duty mid truth.
The question was not the negro , but tlio na
tion whether the American people In the
A Nineteenth century have virtue enough-in
them to adjust the action of the fundamental
principles of tlic Declaration of Independ
ence and the constitution of the United States.
Douglas said that slavery continues to
exist In the south. A negro laborer works
on n plantation for S3 a month and is paid in
orders on storen , kept In almost every in
stance , by the man who the negro
works for , and the prices charged
are double what they should bo.
The laborer scarcely over sees a
dollar of real monoy. What the south
wanted and must have was to bo made to un
derstand that there was power in the country
to make nil sections of it comply with the de
mands of the constitution of the United
Slates.

KOMI : , Jan. 2. Tlio Klforma publishes an
Interview with Gladstone. Gladstono'ro-
pudiatos the idea that Ireland , under homo
rule , would become a mere papal instrument.
In support of his belief Gladstone instanced
the fact that the Irish had chosen
protestants as their political leaders , beginning -
ginning with Parncll. In regard to tlic
Papal question , his views had not changed.
Ho considered the possession of temporal
power by the pope as incompatible with the

SAN FUANCI CO , Jan. 2. Prof. Pickering ,
of Harvnrdunlvcrsity.telegraphed from Wil
lows that the sun was perfectly clear uurjng
the totality of the eclipse. Over llfty pho
tographs were secured. The party consisted
of four observers from Harvard and twenty-
nine local assistants. Fourteen telescopes
nnd cameras wore ctpploycd and eight spec
troscopes , besides miscellaneous apparatus.
The llrst contact was lost through
the clouds. Eight negatives were
secured with the thirteen-Inch telescope ,
giving Images two inches in diameter before
enlargement. Seven observations were
mndo with n photometro measure. The gen
eral Illuminations during the totality were
found lighter than the eclipses of 1M7S and
nnd 18 > 0. The corona was similar to those
of ISiW and 1S73 , but showed much more de
tail than thu latter. It was an exceptionally
line corona , extending usually on one side to
two solar diameters. A striking charac
teristic was two-forked wings of
light. The polar rays were well-
defined nnd considerably shorter.
The meteorological observations were under
tlio direction of Wlnslow Upton , of Provi
dence , U. 1. , and A. L. Botch , of the Blue
Hill observatory. The photography nnd
spectroscope were under the direction of
Prol. A. W. Pickering , of Harvard college.
The party was assisted by S , Bagley , E. S.
King nnd Hobcrt Black , of Harvard.
At Clovcrdule the eclipse was observed
xvith great accuracy by the Pacific coast
amateur photographic association. A party
of observers from Carlton college , North-
Held , Minn. , consisting of Profs. Payne ,
Pearson and Wilson , wore located ou nn
open plat on the famous ranch
of General John BidweH. The party
used n six-inch photograph telescope
and other photographic apparatus and a
two-inch zenith telescope. Profs. Wilson
and Pearson exposed nine plates during the
period of totality and six between the first
and last contact observations.
At San.Iosc observations were taken by the
normal school observing party and were
very successful.
At Lcigau , seventy miles north of licno ,
Nevada , General C. W. Irish , surveyor gen
eral of Nevada , and n party managed , In
spite of the cloudy skies , to note the time of
the ilrst and second contacts. They secured
ten photographs during the totality , which
was but 1 minute and -14 seconds in duration.
THE "Q. " STltlKE.
An Interview "With the Chairman ol'
the Grievance Committee.
CUICAOO , Jan. 2. The Daily News pub
lished an interview with > .A. H. Cavunar ,
chairman of the grievance committee of the
Brotherhood of Engineers , in regard to the
settlement of the Burlington strike. Cav-
anar says in case the Burlington company re
fuse their overture for a settlement , the
brotherhood will make an extremely radical
move. Ho admits the conference ot engi
neers from all western roads last week was
for the purpose of considering this matter.
Cavnnur says that they have consulted the
best legal talent of the country. Tills is un
derstood to bo Colonel K. G. Ingcrspll. It is
believed that this foreshadows a strike on all
western and southwestern roads which con
nect with and feed the Burlington.
It was understood that the conference be
tween the engineer's committee and the
officials of the Burlington road would bo re
sumed to-day , but on account of the pressure
of business Incidental to the opening of the
now year , it was postponed until to morrow.
No hint could bo obtained from the railroad
people as to whether they had decided to re
ject or accept the proposed compromise.
Chairman Cavcnor , of the engineer's com
mittee , seemed confident , notwithstanding
his aggressive attitude , that the whole mat
ter would bo settled amicably. Ho was
reported in a local paper this evening as
saying in case the Burlington
refused the compromise , serious trouble
might be looked for , as the brotherhood had
unimpeachable evidence to she wthatneurlyall
western roads were blacklisting "Q" strikers.
Wliilo ho would not state definitely what the
nature of the trouble would bo , it is assumed
that a tie up of the offending roads would bo
ordered , in order to force the Burlington to
terms by cutting oft its feeders and connec
tions. _
AVliut Chief Arthur Says.
CLEVKIAND , O. , Jan. 2. Chief Engineer
Arthur , when shown despatches from Chicago ,
reporting the status of the Burlington affair ,
said ho had no direct advices from the con
ference committee and would not express an
opinion. Ho was , however , of the opinion
that Chairman Cavenar hud not mndo thn
radical statements iutribut.nl to him regard
ing the possible tying up of the Burlington's
connections and feeders in the eveut of u
failure to , reach a settlement.

dally papers , or their equivalent In weeklies ,
published in the state , with twenty 1 cent
stamps and twenty 2 cent stamps to each
member and elected ofllcor of the senate each
day of the session.
Mr. Wolbacii moved that the resolution Ho
on the table.
Mr. Connor said he would Uko to know by
what nuthority the attempt is made to ehargo
to the state of Nebraska this largo outlay.
We have no authority to do It , and so far as
I am concerned I do not want to do it.
Mr. Pickctt differed with the gentleman ;
several of His constituents had desired liim
to send them copies of the papers containing
the proceedings. It is customary to do this.
Mr. Wolbacii would cut the sum down to
what it was two years ago.
Mr. Pickett said the resolution was pre
cisely similar to that of two years ago.
Mr. Beardsley said his constituents wanted
to know exactly what wo are doing , and had
requested hitn to semUtho daily papers.
The senate voted for the resolution , 20 to8.
Mr. Lindsay moved thnt ! 300 copies of the
Journal of the last legislature bo procured
for the senate.
Mr. Norvnl moved to amend by inserting
206 copies.
Mr. Hansom thought 200 ample.
The amendment was adopted.
Mr. Wetherald offered u resolution , which
was adopted , that the secretary report all
members present when they are absent on
committee business.
Mr. Nesbitt moved a committee of three ho
npiwintcd to Inform ttio governor that the
senate was ready for the transaction of busi
ness , and Messrs. Ncsbitt , Hcardslcy and
Kcckley were appointed.
The introduction of bills being called for ,
Mr. Connor had the distinction of being the
first to offer a bill , declaring it lawful for
nine jurors out of twelve to agree upon and
return a lawful verdict in the district courts
of the state
The clerk of the house informed the sen
ate that the house was organized and ready
for business.
Mr. Ucardloy offered a rcsolutiou for the
appointment of a janitor.
Mr. Howe objected , on the ground that it
was contrary to the course taken yesterday
by the senate , the object of which was to
get rid of the appointment of superfluous
employes.
The resolution was withdrawn.
At the session of the senate this afternoon ,
Mr. Ilowo introduced a bill forbidding the
Introduction of detectives for police duty
within the state , making the penalty , wh n
violated by a person , imprisonment in tlio
penitentiary , and when violated by a corpor

Adjourned. v
The HOIIKO.
LINCOLNNeb. . , Jan. 3. [ Special to TUB
BIE. ] The house met.promptly at 10 a. in. ,
with every member present except Wells , of
Dawson. Aiken , of Nuckolls , was elected
scrgeant-at-arms. The duty of appointing
tlio doorkeepers and janitors was conferred
upon Speaker Watson , and the pressure of
office seekers is almost irresistible. Hon. U.
S. Berlin , tlie lone republican from Douglas ,
is over-run with applications , but is making
a bravo effort to supply all with places.
Speaker Watson announced that ho would
consider no application for a position that did
not bear the endorsement of the member
from the applicant's ' own county. Ho also
requested each member to write his name
and occupation on a slip and indicate the
committees on which ho preferred to servo ,
and assured the house that ho would endea
vor to act with tlio greatest impartiality
ami with duo regard to every interest iu the
Imike-up of the committees.
Oa motion of Coleman , of Antelope , a
committee of two was apuointcJ to wait on
tto governor and inform him that the house
is fully organized and ready for business ,
and a committee of three were named to
make the sumo announcement to the senate.
Chief Justice Hcose appeared , and Speaker
AVatson and the other ofllcers were sworn in.
A recess was then taken until 2 o'clock.
In the afternoon session a resolution was
passed directing the secretary of state to
supply the members with ten daily papers ,
nine of which must bo published in this
state , or their equivalent in weeklies. The
same liberal supply of papers were allowed
the chief clerk and his assistants , the sor-
gcant-at-arins , doorkeeper , chaplain and post
master.
The two houses met in joint session at 3:80 :
and went through the routine of counting the
votes cast at the last general election for
governor and lieutenant governor. The pres
ence of the members being merely a matter
of form , the oflico seekers took occasion to
press their claims , and few , If any members
escaped being importuned by from one to a
dozen applicants for positions. Speaker
Watson will have at least ten times as many
applicants as ho can llml places for. The
house shows a disposition to call a halt iu the
appointment , of useless clerks by wholesale ,
but whether they will maintain this position
long is an open question.
At too close of tlio joint session the house
was called to order , and the committee- ap
pointed to inform tlio governor that the
house was duly organized and ready for
business reported that the governor would
communicate with them oftlcially at 2 o'clock
to-morrow , at which hour the annual mes
sage will bo delivered.
Jotm H. Furay filed n protest against
.counting tlio vote of Douglas county , and the
speaker stated that iu duo tiinu it will be re
ferred to tlio proper committee.
Tlio state house is literally overrun with
Bchemcrs and lobbyists , with an cyo to the
make-up of committees. Gibson , of Omaha ,
is hero looking out for the state printing ,
aad trying to get the committee on printing
llxed in his interests. The woman suffrag
ists are on the war path and made an active
canvass on the lloor of the house for their
organ , the Tribune , with some success.
Afl Indications point to u red-hot session.
Dills uro being prepared for municipal suff
rage for women , and for county local option ,
and will bo introduced in the house at an
early day. Colctnun , of Antelope , will
father the local option bill , Hunter , of
Holt , a strong prohibitionist , is almost cer
tain to bo chairman of the committee on sup
pression of intemperance , or constitutional
viucnduients ,

THIS
Compnrativnly Few Visitors at the
IlarrlHon Hcsldcncc.
iNiiUNAi'oi.is , Jan. 2. As compared with
yesterday and previous days , the callers nt
General Harrison's wofo few , and embraced
r.o people of political distinction. In the
evening Uuv. David T. Carnahan , of Port
Townseml. W. T. , visited General Harrison.
Ho stated that his visit has no connection
whatever with politics or ofllco seeking , but
admits ho urged upon the president-elect to
remcialwr the Pueillo slope , and especially
asked him to urge upon congress the early
admission of Washington Territory into the
sisterhood of states.
The Grand Army veterans and many of
General Harrison's civilian friends were re
gretting to-day that no authentic and accu
rate verbatim report of the general's brief
speech last night was In'i existence. General
Harrison regarded the matter as n "family
gathering" nnd had no expectation nor desire
that his remarks should bo printed. The
spirit of the speech was , n subject of general
approval and congratulation to-day in Grand
Army circles , and witlirepubllcaus generally.
By many it is regardedlns u "keynote" to the
attitude of the new administration toward
the south. * '
The announcement { .hrough Associated
press dispatches that Senator Hlscock was
cnrouto to Indianapolis caused much
speculation as to 'tho special mis
sion of tlic distinguished pilgrim.
One of the apparently plausible explana
tions of the senator's visit , made by a well
known local politician , is to the effect that
certain New York statesmen have carried
their disagreement so far that a rumor has
reached them that unless they speedily
harmonize , they both stand in danger of
being left out in tlio cold , and that Senator
Hiscock has been designated by them as u
peace missionary.
Indiana's Camlidatjn For the Cabinet.
INMANAI'OUS , Jan. 2T The visit of Hon.
II. A. Davis , chairman of the republican ccn-f
tral committee of tnivrenco county , to Gen
eral Harrison this afternoon , was of more
than ordinary importance , as ho carried with
him sixty-three letters from as many county
chairmen , some of them addressed to the
general , endorsing Chairman Huston , of the
republican state central committee , for a
cabinet place. Davis also presented a request
and the recommendation of fourteen addi
tional county chairman , who had personally
authorized him to act iu the premises for
them , makinir seventy counties this far heard
from out of ninety-two. This is the first offi
cial act of ttio republicans of Indiana toward
sccuring.a cabinet recognition. Davis states
that Chairman Huston knows nothing of the
movement , and that the matter has been
specially withheld from his knowledge.
GladHtono's Letter.
LONDON , Jan. 2. Gladstone's telegram
disclaiming the accuracy of the translation
of his letter , suggesting that tha position of
the pope should have been made the subject
of international arbitration , has led to corres
pondence on the subject which will appear iu
the Tablet to-morrow. Cox , editor of the
Tablet , says that the letter from Gladstone
clearly refers to the present position of tlio
pope , and bo places side by side Gladstone's
letter in Italian and the translation in
English , proving the accuracy "of the transla
tion , which Gladstone declared untrust
worthy ,
The Pall Mall Gazette upllblds the accu
racy of the translation , and asks Gladstone
to explain what hi ) means , if ho docs not
mean international arbitration on the pope's
position.
The I'aniuna Canal.
PANAMA , Dec. 21. , ( By mail. ) Some anx
iety has been occasioned here by the crisis
through which the Panama Canal company
has been passing recently. Work still con
tinues steadily on the canal. The various
contractors have been promptly paid off up to
date , and everybody seems cheerful and un-
alTqctcd. Apart from the inevitable indul
gence in talk , inoro. or less wild , by unim-
formcd and irresponsible persons , the only
sign of any crisis is to be found in the money
market , where the premium on golo > und for
eign notes lias advanced from 41 to CO per
cent. There docs not appear to bo any dispo
sition on the part of the populace to excite
ment.

WASHINGTON' , D. C. , Jan 3. I
A bill was passed through the house to-day
that will cost the pension attorneys of this
city nearly $ .100,000 a year. It was the Dock-
cry bill , prohibiting any agent ur attorney
receiving n fee for securing an Increase oT
pension on account of Increase of the disabil
ity for which , the pension was originally al
lowed , and furtHer prohibiting pension
agents from accepting a fee for having
passed a pension bill through congress by
special legislation In cases where the pension
might bo obtained under the general pension
laws. The purpose of the bill , Mr. Dockcry
says , Is to protect pensioners from paying to
nKcnts fees for alleged services , when , in
point of fact , no services are rendered. He
states that the pension attorneys of this city
reap at least S-IOOjOOO every year from tlioso
two classes of pensioners alone. Immedi
ately whoa .ho bill was read Messrs. Heed ,
Burrows and Cannon , thrco of the speaker-
ship candidates , hurried over to the demo
cratic stdo of the house ready to learn the
true inwardness of the bill , and with eyes
wide open for possible snakes concealed
therein. Messrs. Keed and Burrows satisfied
themselves that tha bill was all right and
returned to their scats. An amendment by
Mr. Peters , of Kansas , modifying tlio bill so
that an applicant may make a contract with
an agent in his own state , the fee , however ,
not to exceed $ ! , and only to bo paid should
the increase bo granted , was accepted. Tlio
bill was not a party measure in any sense ,
for democrats nad republicans alike voted for
it. Mr. DocKory thinks the bill will pass tlio
senate without any trouble and it is probable
that the president will approve it. It cannot
bo denied tliat tlio bill seems to bo aimed di
rectly at tlio largo and powerful body of pen
sion lawyers whoso headquarters are here ,
and the amendment added by Mr. Peters un
questionably discriminates against Washing
ton lawyers , for there are many applicants
for increase who live here. It is perhaps
natural , therefore , that pension agents hero
will light the passage of the bill in the senate.
SIIXATOK BVMITS rou TIIK TiiiiAst'iir.
An impression prevails in the senate that
Prcsident-olcct Harrison will loader Senator
Evarts the secretaryship of the treasury ,
or the attorney generalship , and that ho will
not accept. Mr. Kvarts' friends here say
ho would not go out of the senate for any
oQlco , not oven to help the new president out
of any embarrassment ho might Hud himself
in on account of the Morton-Plutt factions
being uuablo to reach an agreement. The
belief which prevailed in the senate and
house a week or two ago that Mr. Blaine
will not bo in the cabinet , is changing. Ono
senator , who visited General Harrison dur
ing the holidays , uttered the general congres-
krnnlview'of thfiOltuation this afternoon"
'when ha said : J'up to Monday General
Harrison had not tendered a position in his
cabinet to any ono , but what he may do , not
withstanding his personal inclinations , no
ono can tell , not even himself. Ho will bo
called , iu fact ho has already been asked , to
consider the obligations made by his friends
to the Blaine men at Chicago. No trades
were made by which the nomination was
secured , but a moral obligation may have
been laid which cannot bo Ignored. If I
were aslicd if I thought Mr. Blaine would go
into the cabinet , I would answer in the
affirmative. " This evening's Star has this
among its cabinet gossip : "Senator Teller ,
who visited General Harrison at Indianapolis
during the recess of congress , was greatly
sought after by his associates on tlio lloor to
day. Ho spent much of the time ou tho'sofas
in conversation with fellow members. They
all wanted to know about the cabinet , but
the best that Senator Teller could tell them
was that ho didn't believe anybody knew
anything aboutlt. Onoof the most interested
persons was Senator Hiscock , who later in
the day left for Indianapolis. The senator
has been popularly credited with warmly
supporting Platt for a cabinet position , but
ho made no expression of tlic particular pur
pose of his visit before leaving. "
JUNDEKSOS CONGllVTTIATKI ) .
Senator Mandcrson was to-day very cor
dially congratulated by almost every senator
on the lloor over the statement made in an
Associated Dress dispatch from Lincoln , and
published this morning , to which the follow
ing editorial in the Evening Post refers :
"Senator Mandcrson does not have to go to
Nebraska to look after his fences , and ha
been so notified by 101 of the I IK ! members of
the Nebraska legislature. Ho will bo re
turned to the senate with an unanimity as
sweeping as a cyclone on his native heath.
The seuator Is a good fellow , and nobody
that is anybody objects to his popularity. "
SOWDIIX ON THE SI'.NATi : SL'll3TITUri : .
The protection democrats in the house will
oppose tlio Vcfornnco of the sen Ho substitute
for the Mills bill to the committee on ways
and means when it roaches the houso. Kcp-
rcsentative Sowdcn said to-day that when
the substitute is delivered to the house and a
motion made to refer it to the committee on
ways and means , about twcfity democrats
would jump up and object , demanding that it
bo referred to tin committee of the whole
for consideration. If this can bo done , the
bill will have an excellent chance to pass the
house , and it can bo aono if thcro are twenty
democrats , as Sowden claims , who will vote
with the republicans to consider the bill
without reference to committee on ways and
means.

Republican members of tlio scnuto commit
tee on llnancc , who have been in conference
upon the tariff bill for several days , have
reached a conclusion upon some of the most
important points in controversy , but have
several others still to bo settled. The duty
on dressed lumber , which Is now
} 2 a thousand , will undoubtedly bo
ilxcd ut | 1.2. > a thousand. Mr. Alli
son , representing his own views ,
which nro shared by all the senators from
the prulrio states , has been trying to secure
a reduction to f 1 u thousand , and the sen
ators from the lumber states of Maine ,
Michigan and Wisconsin have been willing
to concede 20 cents , but it has now been
agreed to split the difference and make the
duty $1.25 , which is a reduction of T5 cents n
thousand. The senators from the agricul
tural states in the west , where tlio beet and
sorghum sugar industry Is becoming one of
importance , have been induced to agree to
the reduction of the duty on sugar , provided
a bounty of 1 cent a pound is paid upon
all sugar , whether from cane , beet or
sorghum , produced In tlio United States.
The duty on barbed wire will bo reduced ,
although a strong effort has been inudo by
the roiiresentntlves of the tlio prairie states
to secure It. Tlio duty on fctruclural Iron ,
which is.now 1 1-10 cents a pound , will bo re
duced to 8 or U mills a pound , and the duty
on st-cel rails will bo flxcd at 14 a ton.
