Os Tuesday, the first working day of
congress, bills for pur.lic buildings
amounting to $3,550,000 were intro
duced in the house, and others amount
ing to f 4,000,000 in the senate. As in
no cases here reckoned were the bills du
plicated, we have a record of big sums
struck tor in this opening raid.
A corner in camphor is now being
worked and prices have been sent up to
unusual figures. It happens that Japan
has secured control of all the camphor
producing lands by acquiring Forn osa,
just as it has come into enlarged use for
the manufacture of explosives. Conci
d. ntallv. the "nitrate king" and others
have cornered the visible supply.
John Bardsley, late city treasurer of
Philadelphia, a high priest in the g. o.
p., until enforced retirement in the
Eastern penitentiary about live years
ago, wants a pardon and although he
has about ten years j et to serve he is very
hkelv to cet what he wants. The eleo
j - 0
tions are over, there is a Republican gov
ernor, the Pardon Board is Republican,
and as Bardsley never peached on his
confederates who are still what Bardsley
was, "men of intluence in the g. o. p ,
why, as a matter of course, Mr. Bardsley
will be pardoned.
In an elaborately trimmed coffin,
with silver name plate and all, a fox
terrior named Sport was buried in New
York on Wednesday in Woodlawn Cem
etery like a human being. The dog was
a pet in the family of Mrs. Ida Hopper,
of 109 West Sixty-Eighth street. It
was reported that Sport had been uuhap
py some time, and that ke leaped from
the roof with suicidal intent. Mrs.
Hopper gave the undertaker full power
to select trimmings for the coffin, and
ordered a plate bearing the dog's name
to le placed on the lid. The undertaker
was paid $50 for burying Sport.
An awkward situation is brought
about in the public schools of Philadel
phia by the compulsory education law.
There i3 such a deficiency of school
houses in that city that at least ten
thousand children are insufficiently ac
commodated. Ihe city funds are so
largely absorbed by the political ring-
Sters that there is not enough left to
provide adequate facilities for the
schools. In this in lemma, in which a
large percentage of the children can't
find room in the school house, a Repub
lican legislature passes a law compelling
all the children to lie sent to school un
der severe penalty if the law is not ob
served. This situation will prove rather
embarrassing.
Do the workingmen ever stop to
think that their condition would be very
much better if the highly protected
Pennsylvania manufacturers and mill
owners had not believed in and practiced
free trade in labor? These manufactur
ers, while demanding protection for
their product, weie not averse to im
porting cheap foreign labor out of em
ployment. Fifteen years have made a
big change in the labor market of the
country, and the American work
men should have no difficulty in discov
ering that while the protected manufac
turers have grown rich by the employ
ment of cheap labor the American
workman has grown poorer. The
friends of a home market are not the
friends of home labor.
The suggestion of Ex Governor Flow
er, of New York, that the people who
have comparatively small amounts of
gold hoarded away should bring it out
and sell it to the government has borne
some fruit. The New York sub-treasury
reports having received flSS,835 from
these sources during last week. Proba
bly when all the other agencies have
been heard from it will be found that
the amount of hidden gold called out
has reached nearly or quite hall a mil
iion, ana, wniie tnis is not much in
itself, it is a large sum to be secured by
the small amount of notoriety
the
scheme has had, and an earnest of the
readiness with which the people would
respond to a formal appeal by the treas
ury for this purpose.
.The author of the Wilson tariff bill,
rostmaster General Wilson, said to an
interviewer on Monday: "Mr. Reed's
speech is a deliberate admission that the
legislation of the last congress if undis
turbed will work out a restoration of
prosperity to the country.
"That legislation was the repeal of all
the important acts of his former con
gress, with a single exception, from
which acts have followed in quick suc
cession most of the distress and troubles
of the past three years.
"The Fifty-first congress gave us the
Sherman bill, which dist rJered our
finances and brought on the panic; the
McKinley bill, which rapidly cut down
revenue below expenditures, and but for
the use of a trust fund deposited by the
banks, amounting to nearly sixty mil
lions, would have made a deficit before
the end of the Harrison administration.
It gave us a permanent scale of higher
expenditures and came near giving us a
force bill.
"We repealed the Sherman and the
McKinley bill, did away with federal
election laws and cut down expenses as
far it was possible to do it.
"Now come- the practical admission
of the highest official in the Republican
arty that the country needs merely
rest to recuperate under our legislation.
"It confesses that the existing: tariff
if left alone will produce ample revenues,
.And does not hurt one industry."
Owing to the fact that many magis
trates before whom pension vouchers are
executed have been in the habit of for
warding such vouchers to the pension
agent for payment enclosed in envelopes
which do i:ot have the proper amount
of Hostage thereon, thus putting the
pension agents to the trouble and ex
panse ot paying tne overdue postage
before such package can !e delivered.
it has become necessary for the pension
department to tdopt a striDgent rule for
the collection of such abuses. Pension
agents have therefore been instructed by
the department at Washington to here
after refuse payment of such deficient
postage and to allow all such packages
to go to the dead letter oflice.
Speaking upon this Eubject Captain
Skinner the pension agent at Pittsburg
says: "This abuse has grown to such
proportions that I have been obliged to
pay as much as three dollars in one
in' nth on account of such deficient post
age. The fault is not with the pension
ers who mail 'heir own vouchers because
a single let'.cr stamp is always sufficient
for the transmission of a single voucher,
but with certain magistrates and claim
agents who are in the habit of transmit
ting each quarter a large package of
vouchers with a single postage stamp
thereon, evidently expecting that the
pension agent will pay the deficient
postage raiher than del-iy payment to
the pensioners. We have sought to
correct these petty abuses by saving the
envelopes and returning them to the
senders thereof, but this course has had
little effect in stopping what might be
called "a. system of petty swindling," be
cause we are informed that many of these
magistrates collect two cents for postage
from every pensioner whose voucher they
execute and then fail to use such stamps
for the purpose intended. In view,
therefore, of this recent order from the
pension bureau at Washington I trust
that all pensioners and magistrates in
the district mav pay close attention to
this matter of postage in the future. If
they do not they may expect great delay
in transmission of checks, because all
uc packages deficient in postage wi
11
surely go to the dead letter office."
After all, says the Harrisburg Patriot,
why shouldn't the advice of Congress
men Hicks and Mahon be followed and
that of Speaker Reed be set aside?. If
the Wilson tariff law involved the coun
try in its financial trouble and the Re.
publicans won upon that declaration
why should not a Republican ' congress
frame a bill that Republicans believe
would abrogate the provisions of that
law and provide a plan that will restore
and perpetuate prosperity?.
It is not enough to say that a Demo
cratic president would veto such a bill.
IVrhaps he would. Indeed he certainly
would, for he insists that what the Re
publicans call "a prosperity tariff" is
solely "a customs revenue system de
signed for the protection and benefit of
f ivored classes at the expense of the
great mass of our countrymen." But
the anticipation of senatorial disapprov
al or presidential rebuke did not deter
the Democrats from outlining and con
tending for a better revenue policy when
they held but a 6ingle branch of the gov
ernment. A Democratic house framed
its bill, passed it and went to the coun
try for approval. Why should not a Re
publican house and a Republican senate
have equal courage and statesmanship
and let the country know -what it is to
expect if a Republican president is elect
ed?
If Republican success was brought
about to change the tariff policy surely
the people are entitled to have what they
voted for. And if another election is to
be fought on the tariff question why
shouldn't the people be given to know
ia the form of a bill approved by a Re
publican house and a Republican senate
just what they are to expect if thev
elect a Republican president?
Congressmen Hicks and Mahon may
not have the political shrewdness of
Speaker Reed but they have the courage
of their protection convictions. They
believe the Republican party was put in
power in the house to revise the tariff
and they think the body to which they
belong ought to keep its compact regard
less of the hindrances a Democratic
executive
may throw in their way.
Aren't they right and Reed wrong?
Holmes, the multi-murderer, who was
convicted in Philadelphia last week, was
on Saturday refused a new trial and
I Judge Arnold at once sentenced him to
death. He is charged with twenty-three
murders and is one of the most desper
ate and blood- thirsty criminals on re
cord if guilty of only half of the crimes
charged. Among his victims were Ben
jamin F. Pitezel and three children; Ju
lia Connor, wife of his bookkeeper and
daughter, Tearl; Enieline C. Cigraud,
his stenographer; Robert E. Pheps, Em

Thr fifty-fourth session of congress
assembled Monday last. Three hundred
and fifty-six members will constitute a
full house one hundred and sixty seven
of whom will be new men two hundred
and forty-four Republicans, one hun
dred and four Democrats, six Populists,
and two with no particular political
classification. In the senate there will
be forty-two Republicans, forty-one
Democrats, and five Populists. The
house was organized with Thomas B
Reed in the speaker s chair. If two
Populists act with the Republicans in
the senate, and it is probable that many
at least will so act; the Republicans will
also organize that body.

nashicgtou Letter.
Washington, D. C, Nov., 30, 1SP5.
President Cleveland has completed his
annual message to congress and to-day
that interesting document was suomiueu
to the cabinet and discussed. Its con
tents will, of course, remain secret until
it goes to congress, which will probably
not be until next Tuesday, as the session
of the house on Monday will be taken
up by the election of speaker and the
other ollic rs of that body.
Mr. Reed must exeot to le more
Czar like than ever in his rule over the
Republicans of the houte, if he really
thinks he can prevent all legislation ex
cept that of passing the regular appro
priation bills, as those friendly to him
and his aspirations for the Republican
presidential nomination say he does.
Other candidates for that nomination
have followers iu the house who have
something to say about that. In this
connection a suggestion has been made
by a business mau of prominence, which
might be turned to good account by
President Cleveland a little . later on, if
he were disposed to accept it. Although
there are a considerable number of Re
publicans in the house who are in favor
of sinking partisanship and legislating
for the relief of the treasury, and conse
quently of the country, they are keeping
very quiet now and will continue to do
so until Speaker Reed announces the
house committees Then they will
speak their minds. It is the idea of the
business man before mentioned that if
properly managed a compromise could
be brought about by which some tinan
, cial legislation that would be of benefit
to the country could be secured. He
thinks that if President Cleveland would
invite some of these men to a personal
conference at which both sides should
frankly state their opinions that by each
side giving up a little a bill could be
drawn up that would prevent further
bond issue and that would pass both
house and senate and be signed by the
president. The idea is at least unique.
Representative Downing, the only IU
linois Democrat who will sit in the pres
ent house, and he only got in by a ma
jority of 40 votes, takes a cheerful view
of Democratic prosjects in that state.
He says: "I think the friction that has
heretofore existed among the Democrats
of Illinois on the subject of silver will
disappear, and that all the factions will
be found fighting together in the utmost
harmony in 1S0G. C 1. William R
Morrison is the choice of out people
for the presiideucy, and he will be sup
ported just as stanchly by the free silver
men as by the advocates of sound mon
ey. The people know and admire him,
and he has never disappointed them.
His unspotted record is his highest eulo
gium."
There are many Democrats both in
and out of congress, who are iu favor of
the building of the Nicaragua canal,
either directly by 'he U. S. government
or by guaranteeing the bonds of the
canal company, but there will not be so
many of them if the Republicans are to
continue their present abuse of the
president who appointed a commission
to examine the canal and report thereon,
as directed by the last congress, and of
the three gentlemen, one army engineer,
and one civil engineer, who composed
that commission, because its report has
shown that the difficulties of building
the canal are much greater than the
canal company's officials had represent
them to be, and because the report esti
mates the etist to be nearly double what
the canal company does. No matter
whether a man favors or opposes the
idea of government aid in building the
canal there is no sense in his objecting
to the truth and the whole truth being
put before congress before final action is
taken. If the friends of the canal are
wise they will try to muzzle those Re
publicans who are making use of abuse
instead of arguments.
Sir Julian Pauncefote will be sorry he
so forgot himself as to abuse senator
Morgan, in an official paper, for the
opinions he expressed on the floor of
the senate concerning those claims for
seizure of illegal sealers in Bering Sea.
Senator Morgan is a fighter. Just now
he merely says of Sir Julian's abuse:
"I think it is a piece of presumptive
arrogance on his part," but just wait
until he tackles the subject on the floor
of the senate. m.
Miower o! Vitrol.
Portland, Me., Decemler 1. Mrs.
Mary Cavanaugh. a divorced woman,
was passing down Congress street on her
way to the theater last night, when she
met John Conly, an acquaintance.
Near the entrance to the theater a man
stepped up and threw vitrol in her face,
destroying the right eye. injuring the
other and burning the face generally.
It is believed that she will die.
The man escaped. His identity is
not positively known, but suspicion
rests on the woman'B former husband,
who, it is said, has threatened to "fix"
Conly. After Cavanaugh was divorced,
two years ago, he left the city, and had
not been here until last night. Mrs.
Cavanaugh says he has threatened to kill
her.
To night two ladies were accosted by
a man in front of the postoflice, who,
after peering into their faces for a mo
ment, made a motion with his hands
and ran down the street. The women
found that he had thrown a lot of vitrol
on their cloaks, entirely ruining them.

hoped something might come from this
preliminary meeting.

New York, December 3. The trial of
Sheriff Edward J H. Tanisen, on the!
indictment found against him last Au
gust, alleging carelessness and iueomie
tency in allowing the three postoflice
burglars Killoran, Russell and Allen
to escape from Ludlow street jail, began
to-day.
The district attorney has obtained the
confession of a man who aided andalett
ed in the escape of the prisoners. This
man Bill Yosburg, the notorious bank
thief in order to save himself from dy
ing in a felon's cell, has unfolded the
w hole history of the escape of the bur
glars from Ludlow 6treet jail and of the
circumstances leading up thereto.
Yosburg is the father in law of Rus
sell. The latter is now uuder arrest in
Belgium awaiting extradition. It was
Yosburg who. in the guise of a preacher,
conveyed to Killoran, Russell and Allen
the revolvers with which they intimida
ted the keep rs. It was Yosburg who
secreted the three fugitives while the po
lice of this and other cities were search
ing high and low for them.
'I was to!J," said Yosburg, "by Rus
sell and the others that the guvs in the
prison were soft marks, and if a couple
of guns could fe sneaked in they would
do the rest. It was plain sailing for
me. I was on good terms with Raebe
and the keepers, and they never
searched me when I went in."
A Yautlerhilt Palace.
New York, December 1. The work
on George W. Yanderbilt's estate near
Asheville, N. C, on which he has erect
ed a mansion that breaks all records for
residences in this country, is reported to
be nearly finished. The mansion stands
on a spot once occupied by a mountain
peak. Mr. Yanderbilt had the peak cut
off and caned away. In order to expe
dite the construction of his castle a plant
was put up that turned out 00.000 bricks
and 2,000 flower pots a day, the latter to
be used in the 75 acre plot set aside for
green houS:Sand nurseries.
A $50,000 ra lr .ad was built between
Biltmore Station and the castle for the
transfer of materials and this line will
be torn up wheu the work is done.
There is a deer park of 3,000 acres,
and extensive trout ponds. The great
est curiosity of the estate, however, is
the fact that right in the center of it
stands the shanty of a colored mau who
refused to sell his nine acres to the mil
lionaire. The entire enterprise, it is es
timated, will cost Mr. Yanderbilt about
$5,000,000. The annual outlay, of
course, will be enormous.
The Korean King's Son Coming.
Washington, D. C, December 3.
Mail advices from Korea coutirm the
cabled announcement that Prince Ouye
ha, the second son of the King, is
now on his way to this country on a
special mission to thank President
Cleveland for the interest the Uni
ted States has manifested in the inde
pendence of the Hermit Kingdom. The
Prince is attended by loun Che Ho, re
cently vice president of 'the Foreign
Affairs Office at Seoul, who was for
twelve years an exile in this country.
The Prince is expected here in two or
three weeks, and will probably sp n 1 a"
month in U ashington, after which he
will go to England and Russia, with
messages to Queen Yictoria and the
Czar.
Prince Ouye Wha is about nineteen
years of age, and is said to be the bright
est member of the royal family.
Died From Hydrophobia.
Shamokin, December 2, George
Shuey, Jr., aged 30 years, died this
morning from hydrophobia. Nine
months ago Shuey was bitten by a mad
Jog, but up to 'Saturday last he felt no
ill effects from the wound. On Satur
dsy Mr. Shuey complained of feeling
nervous As the hours passed his nerv
ousness increased and he paced the Hoor
in agony of restlessness. His wife and
two children did all they could to soothe
him, but he grew worse. He com
plained that his flesh felt as though it
was leing pricked by needles. Towards
midnight he began to bark, snap his
teeth and froth at the mouth. By this
time Mrs. Shuey had summoned a phy
sician, who, with the aid of four men, tied
Shuey down. The unfortunate man
rapidly grew worse and went from par
oxysm to paroxysm until he died.
Senator Hill Angry.
Minneapolis. December 1. Senator
David B. Hill's lecture tour in the
Northwest has proved a failure and
came to an abrupt end to day, when the
senator closed his business arrangements
and returned to New York, with the rea
son assigned for this action that he had
contracted a severe cold while at I)u
luth, making him adverse to further
public Seaking at present.
The fact is, however, that the audi
ences which gathered to listen to him
at Milwaukee, St. Paul and Duluth were
so meager that the financial returns
were insufficient to pay expenses, and
Senator Hill refused to talk for nothing.
He lectured last night at Duluth and
came to Minneapolis this morning. He
was booked for ten lectures altogether.
Mill If out Tor 1 be Pole Again.
Kansas City, Mo., December 2. Pro
fessor Dyuche, of the Kansas university,
said to-day that he had practically de
cided to make another trip to the Arctic
ocean in search of the pole, having re
ceived an offer of assistance, but he de-.
clines to name the source of the offer.
It is supposed the American museum,
under whose auspices he joined the
Peary expedition, has something to do
with the offer. The professor said the
insufficiency of thefood supply has been
the sole cause of the failure of previous
expeditious, and that given plenty to
eat he will get to the north pole as easily
as be got within 800 miles of it. His
present plan is to creep around the west
coast of Greenland and then make a
dash for the pole by sledge or boat.

Constantinople, December 3. It is

danelles without thesultan's permission,
to act as an extra guardship in the Bos
phorus, for the protection of the British
