AX HONOR FOR A DEFEATED CANDIDATE muni x statt conBEsro-TOEirr.i "Washington, Dec. L "The air is very Crisp this evening," is a poor pun that is on the tongue of nearly all the loungers about the hotel corridors, and it must be confessed that the Crisp boom has the call to-day. The Crisp people" claimed 90 votes posi tively, to-day, and some careful computers who are not Crisp supporters concede him nearly if not quite that number as the mat ter stands to-day. Crisp stock is up everywhere. Sporting men have taken it up and are assisting to hull the market. The DISPATCH corres pondent ran against a well-known local bookmaker at the Metropolitan, this even Jag. The sporting gentleman said: "I have succeeded in placing several bet on Crisp. I took him even against the field. How do I rate the candidates? "Well, if I were making a book on them it would be at these fignres: Fonr to 5 acainst Crisp, 6 to 5 against Mills, 3 to 1 against McMillis, 4 to 1 against Springer, and 25 to 1 against Hatch." Mills and Crisp Making the Race. It is but fair to Mr. Bookmaker to say that he ha felt the public pulse as it beats to-day with very sensitive nerves. One of the keenest observers ot the great battle, and one as nearly unbiased as any Democrat can be, said to The Dispatch cor respondent this evening: "Mills has a majority of the Democratic members. I am convinced of that But they are scattered among the other candi dates. It is possible he may not be able to mass them at the right time. If Springer and Hatch and "Wilson were to withdraw now I believe Mills would come up to Crisp's vote on the first ballot, and then it . would be a grand struggle for the big part 'of McMillin's vote when that gentleman , drops out. It will be either Mills or Crisp. That is certain. Xo minority man will be taken as a compromise. Mills can win, howeer, only by the most consummate gen eralship. More Honor for the Defeated Man. "I really think that the defeated man will be the more to be envied. He will be the leader of the party on the floor, will occupy a conspicuous position, will have less strain put upon his nerves, will escape the million petty annoyances of the Speakership, and will have a much greater opportunity 'to distinguish himself. Should Mills be de leated there will be no question in regard to his rank on the floor. Should Crispbe de feated Springer and MrMilliu would make a great effort to wrest from him the leadcr lip, but he would undoubtedly be made Chairman of "Ways and Means, bv the Speaker, and that would carry v. ith it the Chair's recognition of him as the leader of the party. It is a great fight. Mills and Crisp are making the running pretty close together, bnt Crisp is beginning to show the Texan his heels." Kerr, of Pennsylvania, appears to be the serenest of all the candidates for House offices. He feels every hour more and more assured of the clerkship. Colonel Maish does not know what to do. One hour he sayt he will withdraw at once, and the next he declares he will stick. Though he has hots ot friends, he came so late into the ficht that he gets no encouragement, and will probably soon send word to Kerr that he is ofi the track. KerrV Rooms Keystone Headquarters. Kerr's rooms at the Metropolitan are the headquarters for the Pennsylvanians. Up to a late hour this evening only five of the Democrafie members had arrived. They are McAleer, of Philadelphia, successor to Randall and Vans, Mntchlcr, of Haston; "Volcrton, of Sunbury; BelUhoover, of' Carlisle, and Gillespie, of Greenville. Xone of those in town have expressed a prefer ence in the Speakership fight except MutcMer, who is for Mills. It is reported that Jteilly, of the Thirteenth dis trict, is for Crisn. and Amerman, of Scran ton, the Eleventh district, for McMillin, bnt this is not entirely authentic The first thought of" the Pennsylvanians, as far as heard from, is to make sure the railing and election of Chairman Kerr to the clerkship of the House, and it certainly looks as if they would win. Mr. Kerr's headquarters are the most pleasant ot all those of the candidates, and he Is constantly turrounded by a crowd that is either genial of itself, or so b the reflection of the Chair man s abounding oongenialitv. Among the caller:- at Mr. Kerr's head quarters this evening were ex-TJnited States District Attorney Allen, of Erie, and Mr. Baker, of the "same city, ex-County At torney Both 'gentlemen have, in their travels, made careful inquirv in regard to Democratic feeling on the Presidencv, and they say that nine-tenths of all the Demo crats thev meet are lor Cleveland.

"Washington, Decl, Special Secre tary Tracy will take a large and distin guished party to Cramp's shipyard at Philadelphia, to-morrow, to witness the launch of the Kcw York. The Washington party will go over on an elegant special train of eight to ten Pullman cars, which will leave the Pennslyvania Railroad station to-morrow morning at 9:30, arriving in Philadelphia four hours later. The guests will be transferred at once to the ordinary cars, and carried directly into the shipvard. The Pullmans cannot go around the sharp curves that are encountered in the switches, and this necessitates the change. After the launching a lunch will be red in the office of the company, and the "Washington guests will start back in their train soon afterward, leaving Philadelphia at about 4 o'clock and reaching this city at 9:30. Amonc those who will go from Wash ington are Mrs. Harrison and a party of 10 or 12 ladies, Vice President and Mrs. Mor ton, Secretaries Xoble and Tracv, Assistant Secretary Soley, Senator Higgins, General and Mr:-.

ALL IN HAEEISON'S HANDS. 'How the President Can Settle the Investi gation of Green B. Itaum. "Washington, Dec L Special Rep resentative, Cooper, of Indiana, who was chiefly responiib'e for the investigation of Commissioner Itaum last winter, is in "Washington. He says that if Mr. Baum retires from office within a month he thinks the charges against his official conduct will he dropped, and no investigation of the Pension Office made in the new Congress. "I went into the last investigation very unwillingly," continued Mr. Cooper, "and was impelled by nothing hut a sense of duty. Hostilities are for the present sus- Iicndcd, but if Harrison is determined to :eep llaum the fight will be renewed, and, so far as I am concerned, will be supported with a large supply of the latest and most improved ammunition. It is for the Presi dent or Mr. Itaum to say whether there will be a renewal of strife.' il'KINLEY TARIFF TESTS. ARGUMENTS BErOKE THE UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT. The Justices Continue to Interject Ques tions lawyers for the Importers Pointedly Interrogated Solicitor Gen eral Taft Opens for the Government's Side. "Washington, Dec 1. The United States Supreme Court to-day continued the three suits brought by New York and Chi cago importers to test the constitutionality of the McKinley tarift act. John P. "Wil son, representing Marshall Field & Co., closed the opening argument for the impor ters, maintaining that the whole act was vitiated by the omission of the tobacco re bate section. He illustrated his position by supposing that the free sugar clause had been omitted, and asking if the sugar bounty clause would in such an event have been held to be legaL He also contended tliat the rate of duties had been affected by the sugar bounty provision. Justice Harlan asked how he ascertained such to be the fact. Mr. "Wilsou responded that he ascertained it from the act itself, which was passed for the purpose of reducing the resources of the Government. Free sugar had cut offfCO, 000.000, and the bounties to be paid from custom duties had been paid as a protection to the producers who had to compete against free sugar. Difference Eelireen Tariff und Ilonnty. Justice- Gray inquired where was the difference between the constitutionality of a protective tariff and of a bountv. Mr. "Wilson found the difference in the fact that a protective tariff came under the clause of the Constitution giving Congress the right to regulate commerce with foreign nations, while the only authority which could .be claimed for the bounty system was the eeneral welfare clause. There was quite a cross fire of questions and answers between the justices and counsel as respects the general welfare clause Justice Field wished to know if weigit should not be attached to the practice of a century. Mr. Wilson thought the question had never been passed on. .Tnntice Bradley's Pointed Queries. Justice Bradley asked if attempts had been made to destroy legislation based on the general welfare clause. He inquired if the codfish act, passed for the benefit of New England fishermen to put them on an even basis with the French and English, had not been passed under the general wel fare clause of the Constitution, and Justice Harlan cited the recent fortification appro priation act passed for the purpose of en couraging gun steel manufacture in the United States, and asked if Congress could give bounties to gun manufacturers why not to sugar producers? Mr. Wilson, however, did not admit that these case? were analogous to that of the direct payment for a simple production of an article. Solicitor General Taft then followed in behalf of the United States. He directed his attention to the omission of the tobacco rebate action, and his line of argument was that it would not do for the Court to go be hind the enrolled act. When the' ex amined the Journal they would find no record of the act itself, and the Court would have to supplement the record by part of the evidence, which was conflicting. HUSTLING TO SAVE EXPENSE. x-Congressmen In a Hnrry to Use Their Franking FrWilege. Washington, Dec X. Special Many ex-members of Congress whose terms ex pired on the 4th of March last, and who neglected to send out their quotas of gov ernment publications and documents to tneir dear constituents, are doing somes lively hnstling, just now, to save this desirable booty from falling into the hands of their successors. They have until next Monday in which to get their frank slips deposited in the folding room, where each member's book account is kept and where huge stacks of all books for pnblic distribu tion are stored until ordered out. The rules of the House of Representatives per mit an ex-member of Congress to con trol the books entered to his credit until the reassembling of the next ensuing Congress, and under the regulations of the Postoffice Department their franking privilege holds good until the first Monday of December following the expiration of their terms of office. But it frequently happens that even when books are ordered out of the folding room a con siderable time before, they do not get into the mails until long after, since each man's order is taken up and disposed of according to the date of filing. A special ruling, therefore, has been made by the Postoffice Department, allowing all such belated franked documents to go throush the mails free, provided the franks have been deposited in the folding room on or before the date when the frankinc priv ilege technically expires. Accordingly, those retiring Congressmen who have got behind-hand in the distribution of their documents are miking all possible haste to unload their franks in the folding room be fore next Monday, so that their franks may still retain their potency to carry the books safely to their destination without expense. PB0CT0B HAS HIS HANDS FULL To Clear Up His Desk Before He Leaves for the Senate. Washington, Dec L Special It is said that Secretary Proctor, who is soon to leave the Cabinet for the Senate, will re turn to the city from Vermont to-morrow or next day. He will probably take his seat in the Senate immediately upon its reas sembling, and therefore his resignation as Secretary of War will take effect at the end of the present week. He will thus have to clear up matters in the War Department between now and Saturday, but his capac ity for work is so great that he will un doubtedly be able to turn oer his office to his successor in good condition. There are a few questions pending on which he is ex pected to take personal action, including the case ot .Major Throckmorton, the order for whose court martial was recently sus pended in order that Secretary Procter might examine the papers. There will very likely be an inter-regnum, as it might be termed, between the resigna tion of Secretary Proctor and the appoint ment of his successor, as it seems to be the desire of the President to send the name of his new Cabinet officer directly to the Sen ate. As the resignation of the present in cumbent must go into effect before the nom ination of the coming man there can be no chance for the two actions being simul taneous, and so the War Department will have to be without an actual head for some days. This will not embarrass the office Earticnlarly, as General Grant, who many eljeve will bethenewSccretary.has had, as assistant Secretary, ample experience as the acting head of the Department for some months. Mr. Proctor's delay in returning to Washington is taken bv some to be an indication that the slate has already been fixed with General Grant's name on it, and that Mr. Proctor, knowing this, has had no anxiety about the state of affairs in the office THE PITTSBURG DISPATCH, WEDNESDAY, HUNTERS IN TROUBLE. 4 Four Prominent Pittsburgers Fined in West Virginia for BREAKING THE STATE GAME LAW. Myriads of Invading Sportsmen Annoy the Patient Farmers. NEWSY NOTES FROM NEARBY TOWNS rSFKCTU. TEHECBAM TO THE DISPATCH:. 1 Mobgantown, Dec L The Mononga hela Valley Sportsmen's Association last night caused the arrest of four prominent Pittsburgers, in whose possession were rfound five deer and several wild turkeys, which they were unlawfully trying to ship into Pennsylvania. The gentlemen who, for pity's sake, asked that their names be not mentioned, were taken before a magistrate and each fined $20 and costs, the minimum penalty. The maxi mum penalty for having deer or turkey in possession for the purpose of shipping out of the State is $50 and costs and GO days in jail, except the game be alive or has been killed on chartered preserves. The eruption of hunters from Pennsyl vania into this devoted State is something phenomenal and growing worse each year.

The season for big game closes December 15. OLD MEMBERS SECEDE. They Protest Against Modern innovations and Will Form a Separate Chnrch. Beaver Falls, Dec L Special' For some time past a feeling ot dissatisfaction has been growing among some few old mem bers of the Presbyterian Church in this place owing to many things introduced by the younger spirits of the congregation. Some months ago it was decided to enlarge and improve the looks of the church, place in it a large and expensive pipe organ and introduce a paid choir. It was then these conservative members decided that things were going too far. One of the older deacons told the pastor that he would with draw and join another congregation Al though this caused considerable gossip yet it resnlted in no outbreak among the mem bers, but at the same time quiet work was going on. As the result a meeting will be held to take preliminary steps toward organizing another congregation and building another edifice, to be known as the Second Presby terian Church. Some 50 families have avowed their intentions of joining in the movement, yet not all of these are opposed ,to the organ, paid choir, etc They live at the upper end of town and would prefer a place of worship nearer their homes. A minister of tbis place, but who has a con gregation in Lawrence county, several eld ers and deacons of the old church, are the leaders in the movement. The members of the old congregation say there are enough Presbyterians in the town to support two churehe?, and if they want to leave they will not oppose them. Robbed of Treatnro In Tin Cans. West Union, O., Dec L Mrs. Eliza beth Simmons, a widow, aged 79, living with her son and daughter on a farm near the village of Tranquility, in Adams county, was robbed of 53,000 Saturday night. Three men came to the house and finding her son in the barn, bound and gagged him there. They met the daughter in the barnyard and bound her to a post. Then they tied the old woman in her chair, gagged her, and deliberately searched the house. They found the treasure in two tin cans and de- farted. Although masked, two of the rob ers were identified by the family and war rants have been issued for their arrest. On Trial for Body Snatching. Wheeling, Dec 1. Special The trial of Dr. John K.

One of the most dia bolical conspiracies ever concocted was made public here to-night in the arrest of two members of a gang of incendiaries, who for over a year have made a regular business of setting fire to houses and stores in various parts of the city to secure a part of the in surance money. The detectivA nabbed them in the verv act of applying a lighted match to a building. Early in the fall the insurance agents be came convinced that many of the numerous fires here were of incendiary origin. At 8:15 to-night Morris Michael, in company with Detective Floyd, fired a building upon which a policy of insurance had been obtained by Floyd, the understanding that Michael was to receive a part of the insur ance. A gasoline stove stood in a corner of the kitchen. The gasoline had been turned on and a pile of straw set by the stove. A lighted candle was placed on a box in this Btraw, and when it had burned a short time it would ignite the pile Michael was ar rested just as he had closed and locked tho outside door and was leaving the house. Previous to this evening's fire, Flovd had trapped Michael into a confession that he has burnt five houses in West St. Paul on the percentage of insurance plan. Marx Michael, an uncle of Morris', was also ar rested as being an accomplice in the busi ness. There are three other members of the gang who will probably be arrested in a few hours. ACCUSED OF STANDING IN. Crafton Council Gets Roasted Over a Street Railway Deal. Public wrath in Crafton was so thick yes terday morning that it could be cut off in chunks like soft soap. The cause was the action of Pittsburg Councils in refusing to what is known as the Friend Bailway Com pany the right of way over Steuben street. They say the refusal is in the interest of the West End street and Pennsylvania steam railway companies, theformerto save a part of their Thirty -sixth ward custom, and the latter to bring grist to the Panhandle Bail way. John Behman, Jr., says that the people of Crafton have as much claim on the peo ple of Pittsburg as any other aggregation of 3,000 inhabitants as.about all of them pay rent in the city, nearly all transacting busi ness here and merely going out at night to sleep. Mr. Bebman'says that bv the pro posed Friend Electric Bailway they would be but Z,i miles from the Pittsburg Post office whereas at present under Panhandle Bailway management they are, practically, 15 miles, taking time into account.
