"Hill's Inline-nee In tlio scnato is very
much greater than Is generally believed ,
though U may not be strong enough for a
contention with tlio administration. . In n
measure , Hill has taken the place of Gorman
in the BPiiato. All the fricmls
that Gorman lost in Chicago Hill
gained , and this give * him sufllolcnt
jiowor in the senate to make hlmsult quite
dlsagrecablp to the administration if he de
sires to ui > so. Notwithstanding the bitter
ness of fooling which Is provoked by the
New York senatorial fight , it may bo de
pended upon that Mr. iilll will not appear
antagonistic In the somite. IIu will support
the admliilstratloii In most matters. Where
trouble Is looked for by those who are skim
ming over the surface , is with relation to
the continuations. In this particular , his
friends say , he will follow no policy of
general opposition , but will approve every
thing and every person pasting his test of
democracy. It Is bliuved : Unit the only
thing lie has In .view is to stand on guard to
prevent the preferment of mugwumps. Ho

Washington , Senor Don Horatio Czuinnn
was today called to a Panama dispatch stat
ing that the boundary dispute between
Costa Kica and Nicaragua was assuming
threatening dimensions , anil that hostilities
between the two republics might bw'gin at
any moment. He said :
"That is all wrong , and I wish you wouh"
give it the fullest contradiction. The. ques

the two countries was submitted to the arbt

WASHINGTON , D. C. , Doc. lit ) . Tlio Pacllli
const is to have an armof plato plant , aecori :
Ing to ii local paper. The story Is as follows
It Is stated on reliable authority that a concern
corn lmi : been incorporated at San Franclsc
nml has half of its working capital alrcad
subscribed for the establishment of an urmc
plate plant in that city ,
The plant , it Is understood , will bo enlarge
largo scale and. will ho capable of produeln
not only the heaviest armor , but will \i \
equipped for the manufacture of guns , stio
and shell , and heavy forcings of all dcsorli
tluns.
Tills project is said to bo the result of th
policy of distribution which has been ol
served by the Navy department In awardin
the contracts for the bhlps of the now nav\ ,
" Jived for Kuril si riiuit ,
The need of a plant for the manufacture c
armor plates nml other heavy forcings on th
I'uclllpcouBt was nmdo apparent when Hi
contract for the construction of the crutsi
Charleston was awarded to the Union Jro
works In ISSii. The armor plates , nhufts an
pther heavy material which entered th !
vessel , as well as the Kan Francisco , whlc
was given to the same linn , In the followln
year and the Monterey , Oregon and Olymph
which liavn MUCH been awarded them , wn
manufactured In thn cast.
The transportation of the material to tli
1'aclllo coast added materially to the cost t
these vessels , and It is nild : that the compli
tlon of the Oregon and Olympla will bo n
tnrdcd by the deluy in Hie furnishing i
tholr armor ,
The establishment of a plant of this kin
on the Pacific coast Is regarded with grci
favor In naval circles , and its want has hoc
frequently commented IIIHHI , Not only , it
mild , would it urouso un Interest In thu miv
in that section , but would bo of inestlnwb ]
value In the event of trouble with u forelj ;
power.
At pivicut every gun and projectile wuic
s used In the navy Is manufactured In the
ast , and the cost of transporting them to
ho western coast Is an Item of no little 1m-
) ortanco. In the mattcrof shot and shell
ilom ? such nu establishment would be of the
trcatcst value to the government. In the
mlinary course of events it takes a month
or such material to reach the Pacific , and
mder pressure of direct need they could not
reach their destination In less than n week
or ten days. Such n period of tlmo would beef
of vital Iniitortnneo In case of a necessity for
i large ami speedy supply of such material
arising.
tiUtrr-ftl Hidden nu thp Xnw Vcinc-l" .
It Is pretty generally ronredcd , however ,
hat the carrying out of this -project will bo
argely afTcctcd by the awards for the con
struction of the two new vessels the Iowa
mil the Brooklyn. The Cramps of 1'hllrt-
lelphia were the lowest bidders on both of
.lieso ships and In the event that the Union
mil works fail to get one of them. It Is
ilghly probable that the manufacture of
irmor plates on the const , at le.ist , will bo
loferred.
Secretary Tracy is expected ( o return from
New York today , and his decision In regard
to the award of the new ships will probably
io ) made early next week. In the meantime
Lhe indications are that the Cramps will get
[ mtli vessels. While Secretary Tracy Is in
clined to continue the policy of distributing
the work of building the new vessels , the
law distinctly provides that they must
bo awarded to the lowest responsible bid
ders , and In this instance that means the
Cramps.
There Is some talk to the effect that the
Union Iron works will lower Its bid nn the
Brooklyn to the amount of that made by the
Cramps. This , however , remains to be seen ,
but it is safe to predict that If such n step is
decided upon by the San Francisco llrm , the
Hrooklyn will bo launched In the waves of
the Pacific.

WASHINGTON , D. (7. , Deo. 20. Following
the allegations of wrong doing on the part
of Count do Lessops. growing out of the
Panama canal scandal , comes the assertion
that suspicion of his entira honesty was ex
cited as far back as IST'J ' In the minds of
members of eon-ii-oas , and while the fact
that suspicion .lid exist cannot be vcrltlcd ,
some interesting information that until now
did not have much significance , may bo ob
tained from a review of the history of the
canal project in the congress of the United
States. On December U ) , 1S70 , the house of
representatives adopted a resolution cm-
powering a select committee to "examine
into the subject of the select ion of u suit
able route for the construction of an inter-
oceanic ship canal across the American
isthmus. "
Of the eleven members who served on the
committee , only one remains In congress
Senator Fryo of Maine. When tiskcd today
concerning his Impression of the trustworth
iness ) of Count do Losscpa and his associ
ates In the matter ho gained from the testi
mony of dc Lessops ami others before the
select committee , Senator Frye said ho was
certain that no had no suspicion at the time
that do Lcssops wns not the honorable man
lie had always been represented lo bo.
"I had no suspicion that he was not en
tirely what ho was represented to be , " said
the senator , "until he changed the plan of
the canal to ono requiring the use of the
locks , after ho had secured his subscriptions
on the representation that it would bo con
structed on the simple plan of a sea level
canal. 1 believe Lieutenant Kimball of the
navy , who had spent some time on the
isthmus , llrst placed suspicion In my mind.
Count do Lessops hart been called on for a
report showing the progress , and Lieutenant
Kimball told me that ho had not , represented
the true condition of the uork of construc
tion.
tion."Tho
"Tho members of the committee were not ,
I am sure , suspicious of do Losscps at that
time. They were , as myself , anxious to dis
cover the best routu for a ship canal connect
ing the Atlantic and the Pacillc oceans. The
inquiry developed in my mind only ono con
clusion , and that was that the Nicaragua
canal project was the better ; in fact , the
only practicable one. Other members of the
committee were Impressed with the Kads
ship canal plan , but whatever may have
been the opinions of individual mem
bers of the committee , in reference to the
respective projects considered , the inquiry
resulted in nothing more than the presenta
tion to the house of u series of resolutions
alllrming the Monroe doctrine and making nc
recommendation concerning tlio merits ol
this or that project. "
Agitation of thu matter may result in an
investigation that will bring out more full.v
thu workings of the promoters in this conn
try , and with the propensity of the house ol
representatives for investigating , it is nol
improbable that some such inquiry may foi
low.

LONIION. Dec. 20. The latest advices from
St. Petersburg nnd other parts of Russia
show that the persecution of the Jews and
the. Inhumanity of the czar's uftlcials toward
that unhappy race are greater than over be
fore. Six edicts have been Issued , aiming to
disperse the Jewish subjects of Kussla ,
weaken their position ami trading interest
and crush out their religion. Thcso edicts
are enforced with the utmost riporin many
parts of the empire , and with severity
everywhere. The Moscow papers boast that
slnco the beginning of 1MJI , 20,000 Jews have
been converted to orthodoxy.
The unhappy converts who have been
driven to a pretended denial of their re-
Iglous/alth in order to escape intolerable
lersoeution have been deported to the dls-
.rict of Tchorkosovo , about live miles from
Moscow. There they are rigorously gov
erned by priests of the Russian orthodox
hurch , who require them to attend the ser
vices of that churcji , and to comply with Its
various rules , watching narrowly for any
sign of evasion or repentence. These priests
Imvo entire supervision of the wretched col
ony and the alleged converts from Judaism
lire only allowed leave to return to Moscow
upon a cerlltlcatu from the priests certifying
that the convert holding such certificate Is
assured in the faith of the orthodox church ,
( /'lonely Wntchrd.
When thus released llielr troubles are not
over. Thu police and p-jlicu spies keep a
careful watch over them , and if they fail in
attending to their obligations as members of
the orthodox church they are reported as
recanting to the Jewish faith. Should the
charge of recantation be established , the
usual punishment is deportation to Siberia.
Tlio police have been making a careful
scrutiny of the quarters of the Jews with a
view to driving more of them out of the
town , none being allowed to live in towns
except those who are converted.
The anti-Jewish crusade received a great
impulse through the y.cal of the grand duke ,
Sorgitis , brother of the czar and governor of
Moscow , tifrainut the Jewish religion. Jews
who are not natives of Moscow' have been
given twenty-four hours to return to their
native towns. No mercy is shown to any
Jews , no matter how meritorious , who can
bo brought within the scope of the cruel
edicts. Thousands of Jewish working people
ple have thus been driven from their em
ployment to become beggars and wanderers.
Old soldiers , who wore medals for faithful
and gallant service in Hussia's army , are
treated with as little mercy as
other Jews. Xo recognition whatever
is Riven to their claims upon the
country. Merchants of the best stand
ing are driven out like thu poorest laborer ,
and not only deprived of their business ,
but robbeo > of the money that is owing lo
them from their debtors , nnd th < s unjust
authorities refuse to pay the ( loots , well
aware the creditors have virtually no re
course. Merchants who have been deported
to their "birth district , " who were recently
in affluence , find themselves helpless and in
poverty , with which they may have long been
unfamiliar. An old man of 70 or fcO years ,
who may have left his unlive town iiYhild ,
must go back there and bu torn from the
arms of bis children and his children's chil
dren , unless they be rich enough to accom
pany him. The scenes witnessed in consequence
quence are most pitiful , and would move.one
would think , even the heart of Grand Duke
Serglus.
Moscow's I.OSH.
Moscow has lost , in consequence ofhi
persecution there , a multitude of its most
valuable residents. Many of the Jewish
tradesmen and artisans , who have been
driven from Moscow have gone to Led , n
place a few hours distant by rail from Wassail -
sail and which has rapidly risen to a popula
tion of 12r , ( )00 ) , most of them Jews. TJndci
the impulse of Jewish skill and industry
Lodz Is fast becoming an important manufac
turing center , the factories there being bus.\
night and day and the manufacturers hav
ing orders for thrcu months ahead. Tr.idi
in Moscow is collapsing through the loss ol
Jewish capital and labor , which had m
small share In building up and maintaining
the prosperity Qf that plnce.
In Poland the oppression of the Jews Is
for Iho tlmo being , .somewhat relaxed and
throughout Hussia generally the treatment
of .lows is not on us harsh a scale us in Mos
cow , although severe and most intolerable
everywhere.
The regulations especially and universal ! ]
enforced throughout Hnssia nro thu limltiiif.
of the residences of the Jews within certnii
fixed localities , the prohibition of Jewisl
artisans from working in places beyond tin
control of oflleial boards of trade , and the re
striction of unauthorized churches. The con
ditlon of the Jews , except in Lodz and a fuv
other places , Is becoming steadily worse
particularly in the case of those who have n <
means to bribe the Russian officials.

Nnw YOIIK , Dec. 2'J. The Times states
that Secretary Foster's trip to this city was
not on private business as was given out
officially , but was for the purpose of consult
ing Wall street magnates on thu proposition
to relieve the monev marlvot and check the
export of gold by having the government
issue from 53,000,000 to $100,000,000 of bands.
The Wall street men wcro in favor of the
scheme , but the speculative contingent wcro
in high feather. The president's cooperation
tion had been counted on as sure , but this
confidence was suddenly discovered to bo de
lusive.
According to Wall street reports Secretary
Foster , before ho suddenly left town to go
west , is credited with having received this
dispatch from Washington :
1 want nn new bonds Issued under my nd-
niliiUtnctlon. Take no steps. Do nothing.

The Times says that Mr. Foster met the
Wall street men at a club house on Fifth
avenue and had -a prolonged conference.
Some of the most notable men In the street
are said to have been present and an agree
ment was formed on the financial policy of
the government. The action of President
Harrison upset their plans entirely and
there is now no prospect of an issue of bonds
to stop the stringency in the money market ,

shipped several thousand bushels of corn tc
Mexico .during the past season returned
from that country today. Ho says :
"In the City of Mexico the corn market is
completely demoralized and is selling foi
about (50 ( cents per bushel in Amer
ican money. There were 200 carload ;
of corn standing on side tracks
In the city when I left which had not beer
unloaded on account of the failure of tin
shippers to pay the freight. The Mexican
roads will no longer accept , corn shipments
unless the freights uru paid ami the shippers
ngreu lo unload the cars immediately upoi
tlleir arrival at destination. The now con :
crop of Mexico is coming into market and nc
further demand for the grain will bo made
upon Iho United Stt'tcs. The state of Mich
ocan has produced , it Is reliably estimated ,
8,000,000 bushels of com this season , whiel
amount alonu is suftlcumt to supply all ol
Mexico with corn1 for the ensuing year il
necessary. "

LONDON , Dec. 20. As the hours lengthen
with no tidings of the Umbriu , the anxiety
increases. Relatives and friends of those on
board continually visit the oftlces of the com
pany or nsk by telegraph for intelligence.
While the company agents profess to have
no fear as to the safety of
the vessel , the underwriters look upon
her as an extra hazardous risk , and reInsurance -
Insurance rates rose since yesterday from 13
guineas premium , n very high rate , to 20
guineas. A broken shaft would account for
* the delay , but vesselmcn fear she may have
struck a floating wreck , a number of which
have been reported lately. Her sails ,
though sufficient to work her , arc rather
limited , nnd she would make slow headway
by wind.

Nr.w VOIIK , Dec. 29. The steamship Gnlll-

Shu had continuous northwest gales and
high head seas throughout , with frequent
snow squalls. Captain Colcman died on
the voyage and was buried at sea
December 2 , " , at fi p. m. , lati
tude -t'J.W , longitude 5S.r > 5 she sighted Iho
steamer Umbria , apparently disabled , bear
ing northwest. She bore down close to her.
Shu exhibited three red lights , showing that
she was unmanagcnblu but not requiring as
sistance , though a heavy sea was running.
She lay quite easy and comfortable , with the
wind blowing a still northwest [ rale. It was
supposed the machinery was disabled and
she was lying to , making repairs. The next
morning the Gulllleo passed two enstbound
steamers which would render any nnslst-
if needed , Captain Jones says there need be
no alarm regarding her safely.
HAI.ITAX , Dee. 2' ) . A rumor was in circula

Umbria had reached Harrington in a sink

SAN FIUXCISCO , Ual. , Dec. 20. 'HiIs mornIng -
Ing It was discovered that the railroad sta
tion at Brighton , live miles sonthcst of hereon
on the Sacramento & Plueervlllo road , was
In Humes. The building was burned to Iho
ground. A search was made for Miss Ayres ,
Iho telegraph operator , and her remains were
found in the corner of the ruins , where , her
bedroom had been. The body was unrecog
nizable. The skull was found In pieces near
Ihe bodyand a pistol was picked up only a few
feel nwny. A long , heavy iron poker , used In
the depot waiting room , was discovered close
to the remains. Miss Ayres was reputed to
have considerable money , but always said
she did not fear to live there alone , as she
was armed mid ready to take her own part.
The theory of the onVers Is that she wns
arouse.d by some ono asking her to send n
telegraphic message. She probably started
to answer the summons , taking tier pistol
with her. and she was then assaulted. She
evidently ilrod ono shot , as the cartridges in
the pistol indicate , and then her assailant
pursued her Into her room with the iron
poker and beat her brains out. This was
early last night and It Is thought the mur
derer returned before daylight to burn the
house and destroy tbo evidence of his crime.
The deceased was IIS years of ago and had a
mother residing near Stautou , Neb.

"The people of this city and comity will
not believe that she has been guilty of
wrong doing. Wo all know that she assisted
her husband in accumulating their moderate
fortune and their pretty homo in Kinder-
hook. After her husband's death she took
charge of his extensive business , and by
energy increased it. The burden of eaio
was too great for a weak woman even of
Mrs. Alexander's resolution. She sought
recreation andj-cst , and married Jeffcrsan , u
man unworthy of her. From published ac
counts ho proved to bo a s'-onndrol as well as
the cleric of the hotel where they stopped.
Both deserve severe punishment. The widow
of Klchard Alexander will find in Columbia

LINCOLN , Nob. , D c. OT. [ Special to TUB
Bf.n. ] The coming legislative session prom
ises to bo Intensely exciting. For the llrst
time In the history of the state no party hus
a majority of cither of the two houses , nnd
therefore no party can organize either of the
two houses without making a combine with
members of another party. Thcro will bo
plots and counterplots , combines nml
eouutereombiuos. There will bo con
tests and investigations. Thcro will
bo smashed slates and wrecked hopes.
The session promises to bo a light all along
the line from start to finish with the ablest
political brains and most shrewd jioUtlcul
strategists directing the contests.
The irrepressible conlllct is to begin with
the opening of the session next Tuesday.
The advance guard is already ou the ground
and by Sunday night the chiefs of the war
ring clans nnd a good many of their follow
ers will bo in their respective quarters.
Nothing Ccrliiln but Drntlt ,
The constitution requires the legislature to
convene on the llr.st Tuesday after the llrst
Monday In January , hut It is decidedly
doubtful whether the legislature will ho
fully orgnni/.ed by the end of the week.
There are too many complications In the
way. it is u M-lfi-lil puzzle , and Ihu question
Is , who can manage to get most of thu pigsin
the pen I The senatorial contest comes into
play from the outset ami blocks the way of
the railroad gang from fusing the men with
brass collars regardless of party. For
instance , it will bo no trouble to
get Jim North to vote against
any and nil railroad regulating bills
but Senator North can't be Induced to vote
for u republican president pro turn , The
senator from Platte has his eye cocked for
the biggest sugarplum in the Nebraska ,
orchard within the gift of Grover. Ho wants
to succeed John Pelers after thuItli of
March and that makes n heap o' difference ,
as Undo Hilly Pnxton would say when ho
sized up u hunch of Texas steers.
What la true of North is trim of nearly all
democrats with the pos.-tiblo exception of
Senator Hnbcoek of Douglas. Ho does not
look for fodder nt the federal crib so long as
bo remains supcrlnlendentof the stock yards.
At this moment nobody can loll who will
get on top In the melee over tnospcakershlp.
If a republican caucus Is held the chances
nro ten to ono in favor of Oakley , but there
will bo no house caucus -at least not us long as
it remains u roilroad jnghandlo. A very ro-
spoetablo number of republicans will posi
tively decline to be caught in the caucus trap.
They arc determined to break up thu oil-
room gang at all hazards. They know they
have no show In the caucus , and therefore
prefer lo light in the open Held , where they
can dictate terms.

Humors are almost as thick now as tlio

the Lincoln contingent last night , with a
view to withdrawing them from the race
and putting np a new man for speaker who
would bo favorable to cither Majors or
Cronnso for the United States scnatorshlp.
It is pretty well settled that Tom Majors
will take up his headquarters at the Capital
hotel with nis man Friday , Walt Seeley , as
his confidential negotiator.
It is rumored that the democratic and
independent politic-inns have been in session
nlld-5 , : trying to effect a fusion.
U is a settled fact that Senator Paddock
and ( iovernor-elcct Crounso will have their
quarters nt the Lincoln. '
It is rumored that the counter combine
made np of live republicans and cloven in
dependents has signed an agreement bind
ing the members to support a maximum rate
bill ; a bill for the abolition of railroad
passes , and n bill to repeal the law creating
a State Hoard of Transportation.
It is pretty well settled that ex-Senator
Kooiu is to bo bounced from his sinecure us
secretary of the State Hoard of Transporta
tion , nnd that his soft Joblsto.bo given toTem
Tom Ilenton or Charles Magoon.
it Is rumored that JCrlc Johnson , ox-chief

from the ranks of the Independents to the
republicans for his re-election as chief clerk
