8 A MEROW MAJORITY. The Death of a Republican Congress man Causes Apprehension. A JOB FOE QUAY AND CLABKSOH. They Unit See That His S accessor is of the Same Politics. EITEA SESSION ALMOST A CEETAI5TI. rnsi&nt Harrison Ihinks TUt Both a Conrsa Will bo Xecesstrj. The death of Congressman Laird, of Nebraska, has caused considerable political speculation. Every precaution will be taken to secure the return of a Republican successor. President Harrison remains firm in his purpose of calling an extra session. iETECUX. TELEGRAM TO THE DISFATCH.1 "Washington, August 17. The death of FeprcseaU tire Laird, of Nebraska, an nounced to-day, emphasizes the gravity of the situation in the body of -which Mr. Laird was a member, and the slight ma jority which the Republicans will have for the purpose of organization is discussed this evening more than ever before. "While the Second Nebraska district is considered surely Republican, there is always a chance for defeat, and the Democrats are already canvassing the possibilities. Republicans arc little alarmed, however, as they have great confidence that the man agement of Quay and Clarkson, of the National Committee, will prevent any re duction of the majority injthe Bouse by tbe loss of a district which naturally belongs to the party. They will insist on the sinking of personal ambitions and factional quar rels, and the nomination of the most popu lar candidate available, that there may be no doubt ot the result on the ground of a weak selection. The death of Mr. Laird was announced at the White House shortly before the depart ure of the President for Deer Park, and was asnbjcct of conversation. The President intimated that, while the election of a Re publican to succeed the dead Congressman would really strengthen the Republican majority, as one would doubtless be elected about whose ability to attend the sessions of the House there would be no question, that result would not do away wit ft the argu ment advanced in favor of a called session, and he said that he had almost fully de cided to call such a session in the interests of an early organization, and added that the extra session would probably be called about the middle of October. TRUSTED TO TDEIE HOKOE. That Was tbe Trouble In tbe Case of the Black Diamond. "Washihgton, August 17. Although the report upon the seizure and escape of tbe British sealer Black Diamond has not been made public at the Treasury Deport ment, it is learned from the officials that it does not show that the officers and crew of the seized vessel were under parole to pro ceed to Sitka. "While it was within the au thority ot the Captain of the revenue cutter io place in irons everv man on the .lilacs Diamond, and send her to San Prancisco with a powerful prize crew, such a course was not regarded as necessary. In cases occurring in former years seized vessels have gone sately to port, the officers having sufficient respect for the law, as em bodied in the presence of one representative of the revenue service, to refrain from any attempt to escape. Meanwhile, it is said at the Treasury, that the revenue marine officers will continue to seize vessels encaged in taking seal illegally, leaving to the State Department the adjustment of any inter national questions which may arise. C1TIL SERVICE CHANGES. Some Radical Amendment! to bo Made to the Present Rnles. "Washikotojt, August 17. Civil Service Commissioners Lyman and Thompson had an interview with the President to-day in regard to certain contemplated changes in the civil service rules. Commissioner Lyman presented to the President a rough draft of tbe contemplated amendments, and, together with Mr. Thompson, discussed with the President the probable effect of the pro posed changes and tbe reasons that induced tbe commission to recommend them. The President is understood to favor the changes, and as soon as they can be properly formulated the amendments will be sent to him at Deer Park. It is believed that one of the rules as amended will place all chiefs of divisions within the classified service, and thas provide that when changes occur in these positions they shall be filled by cer tification from the commission. TEE CHEROKEE LANDS. ' Work of tbe Commission Una Been Sus pended for tbe Present. Washington, August 17. General Lu cius Pairchild, a member of theTJherokee 'Commission, arrived in 'Washington this morning from the Indian Territory en route tohishouie in Wisconsin, the negotiations with the Cherokees having been suspended by the commission until after the new Cherokee Council recently elected meets to consider pending propositions. 'The com mission will not meet again until Novem ber next. The negotiations will then be resumed, with a fair prospect of success. General Pairchild is preparing a report of rtheworkof the commission to date, which will be filed with tbe Secretary of the In terior within the next few days. OFF TO DEER PARK. Tbe President Sees No visitors nnd Leaves for tbe Mountains. H"Vashington, August 17 President Harrison haw no general callers to-day, his time in the forenoon being given up to consultation with the Cabinet officers, now in the city and a few other prominent officials. After dinner he prepared for his trip, and at 2:37, in company with his pri vate secretary, was driven to the station. Here he joined Mrs. Harrison, who had just returned from Nantucket, and they pro ceeded on to Deer Park. Probably on Tuesday next the President will go to Indianapolis, but his visit will not last longer than the end of the week and he will return to Deer Park, where he will remain until the middle or latter part of September. ' Indians OfTTnelr Reservation. "Washington, August 17. Acting In dian Commissioner Belt has telegraphed the agents at Ouray and Uintah reservations in Utah asking for information as to the report that the Ute Indians are off their reserva tion. The Indian office has not yet re ceived any information other than that contained in the newspaper reports. To Go to tbe Encnmpment. Washington, August 17. Permission to attend the National Encampment of the G. A. R. at Milwaukee, August 26 to 31, has been granted such employes of the 'War Department as are members of the organi zation. A Temporary Secretary of War. "Washington, August 17.

No More Money to be Paid Out at Johns town far the Present A Railroad Brldfe Give War Tbe Drinking Oldat be Suppressed. tEriCUi TELIGKAJC TO THI DISPATCH.! Johnstown, August 17. Unless it is a case where a person is in absolute want, no more money will be paid out until the final distribution is made. This decision Secre tary Kremer made several days ago, and to-night the account was closed. It has been a little over a month since the commission began the distribution of money, and since that time about $100,000 have been paid out. As there is about $1,800,000 yet in the hands vf the commis sion, it will be seen that un less the work is pushed much more rapidly that it will be a long time be fore it is all paid out. While it is not likely that it will require proportionate time to complete the work, those who arc familiar with tbe methods in vogue think it will bo a month more at the least before the money is paid out. The bridce across the Conemaugh river near the Pennsylvania Railroad station gave way to-day, and a force of men was put to work to brace it up. None of the bridges are permanent as yet, and no steps are being taken to have good ones erected. Although most of its tenements were situ ated on Prospect and on the hillside in Cone maueh borough, the Cambria Iron Company lost 1S6 dwelling houses by the flood. There will be a special term of court, beginning next Monday, and Judge Johnston has been' importuned very strongly to take some measures to prevent so much drinking. To-day was payday and to-night the streets and dark places are full of drunken, boister ous fellows. It is absolutely unsafe for a lady to be out after night, and in many places it is dangerous for anyone to attemp't to pass. TWO BIG EXCURSIONS. The Allegheny Taller and I.nko Erie Take Crowds to Nlncara Falls. The excursion on the Allegheny Valley ta Niagara Palls last night was a very large one. More than 500 people went, though from the way the crowd pushed and scrambled to get on the train the average person would think there was more than 1,000. The train contained seven sleepers beside the coaches. General Passenger Agent James Anderson accompanied 'the excursionists. Tbe Lake Erie rood also had a big ex cursion last night to Niagara Palls from the Beaver Valley. It is seldom a road runs an excursion for country fold only, but the crowd that went shows the wisdom of Gen eral Passenger Agent A. E. Clark. PROFIT IN SODA WATER. The Easiness Require a Small Outlay and Yield. Big Gain. "It is surprising," said a Pittsburg drug gist, "how much profit there is in the soda water business. Even with the purest of flavors 100 per cent can be made, hut the rate of increase is much higher than this, in some cases as much as 1,500 per cent, where the druggist has little regard for the tastes and stomachs of his patrons, and is out for the stuff. "The ordinary Saratoga waters can be bought for $5 pe"r barrel, but frequently the water is made from the salts. This is true generally of vichy. There is only one vichy spring in the world, and that is in . ....-'i,- i i... Germany. Any one can see that it will liL De0D rock also is often manufactured " FOE BARRATRY. Inspector Whttebonso Arrested Levrta Bates on This Charge. ' Inspector Whitehouse yesterday arrested Lewis Bates on a charge of barratry. Bates was formerly the Constable for Alderman Donghty, but of late he has been working for Alderman McNeirny, of the Eighteenth ward. He is accused of having been con nected with tbe Bander gang. A portion of the evidence against Bates, held by Inspector "Whitehouse, isja receipt signed by Bates for $20, received by Bates for the settlement of a suit against Phila mena Hammerly, Penn avenue, and Thirty ninth street, for selling liquor without a license. Bates was committed to jail in default of 1,000 bail for a hearing on Monday. A CHILD SCALDED. Second Serlons Accident of lis Kind In a 6ins!e Family. A 2-year-old child of Michael Mclntyre, at No. 712 Pifth avenue, was seriously scalded yesterday afternoon. A pan of hot water had been left standing on a table, and the child overturned it. The child's shoul ders, head and arms were burned so severely that its condition is critical. Another child belonging to Mr. Mclntyre was burned to death about a year ago. Tbe Texas Ulan Not Taseott. CHICAGO, August 17. The photograph sent by Sheriff Sanchez, of Laredo, Texl, oi the man under arrest there on suspicion of being Taseott, the murderer of Millionaire Snell, of this city, has been received. The Texas prisoner is not Taseott. The picture does not at all resemble him. A Feature of Chicago's Fair. SrniNGFiELD, III., August 17. Among the papers ot incorporation filed with the Secretary of State to-day, war that of the Queen Isabella Association of Chicago, the object of which is to erect a statue to Isa bella, Queen or Spain, to be unveiled at the "World's Fair of 1892. 160 Will Join.

The Chairman of the Plorida Demo cratic State Committee HAS CHALLENGED SENATOR CALL In Answer to Some Remarks Eecently Made by That Gentleman. THE ORDINARY SECONDS NOT NEEDED Under the Coalitions of the Straggle as They Are How Stated. W, D. Chipley, Chairman of the Demo cratic Committee of Florida, has challenged Senator Call, of that State. The dispute is of a political nature. Tongues, and not pistols, will be the weapons used. Jacksonville, Fle., August 17. Sen-, ator Call several weeks aeo, in a letter pub lished in the Timet-Union, challenged those persons opposing his re-election to meet him in every county of the State and discuss the charges which have been made against him by tbe public press. The Timet- Union will publish to-morrow an ac ceptance of this challenge by "W. D. Chip ley, of Pensacola, Chairman of the Demo cratic State Committee, and a well-known business man. The letter Is as follows: Pensacola, Fla., August 14, 1889. Hon. W. CsU, Washington U. C: Dear Sib My attention has been attracted by a discussion in tbe public press In which you challenge your "detainers" to meet you and discuss the charges made against you be fore the people In every county in the State, I have not favored this discussion at tnia time, not that I did not BELIEVE THE CHABGES, but because I considered tbe time Inopportune. It is, therefore, with some surprise that I learn that you do not besltateln conversation to con nect my name with these newspaper assaults, and your friends repeatwbat you say. and some of the newspapers favorable to your re-election mention my name outright, though you hare not been frank enough to announce tbe names of your alleged "detainers' in as public a man ner as you have made tbe charge of defama tion of your character. In view of this fact, I am impelled to say to you that I will accept your challenge and will meet you before the people. You will recall that I wrote you years ago over my signature my opinion of your course. I have never since then found it necessary to mask behind any public journal on that subject. I will meet you, not as your defamer. but in tne interest of truth, tbe Bute of Florida and the prosperity of our people, and to show to them your utter incapacity to nil or else your willful disregard of tbe duties of tbe highposi tlon you hold at tbe hands of tbe people of the State. I respectfully propose the following condi tions. .THE PEOSPECT AHEAD. First I will formulate the charges at each meeting in not exceeding 1 bour and 15 min utes, you to reply in not exceeding 1 hour and 45 minutes, and I to have 15 minutes for my re- joinaer. n o introduction to exceed a minutes. Second There tball be 50 meetings in the4 State not less than one in each county at points to be fixed later between us. Third These meetings to commence on firs Tuesday in March, 1890, and continue till tbe finish. It would be useless and senseless to,, discuss the issues of next year's campaign at an earlier date. Either party who anandons' the contest before its conclusion will thereby' acknowledge bis defeat. ' Fourth As tbe discussion is a matter relat ing solely to your official course, it must be understood that it shall not lead to any discord'- in tbe party, whose harmony is of far greater importance than any private interest. Neither shall it give us any claim upon the party" organization, but at each meeting we .shall dla-. cbarce all expenses equally between us. Fifth I will cheerfully join you in a request' to roe Bcaie press u suspend discussion until February next, the month preceding the com- mencement of the proposed discussion. I will mall yon a copy of this acceptance and at the same time will c;lve it puolicity throush tbe same medium by which yonr challenge reached me; to wit, tbe State press. Bespectfully, w.n. CinPLST. HARRIS' THEATER 1ET 0FN. A Popular Demand Prevent a Vacation of Even One Week. Owing to a popular demand, Charles Pat terson and "His Natural Life" Company will remain here another week. To-morrow, Tnesday and Wednesday "Ten Night in a Barroom" will be given, and for the balance of the week the company will ap pear in a pleasing repertoire. The large houses at each of the 12 performances last week is proof positive that the company gave entire satisfaction and made a distinct success by their presen tation of "Ten Nights in a Bar Boom." Many were unable to obtain seats, and the extension of the engagement became a matter of necessity to satisfy the patrons of Manager Harris' popular theater. 1 CORNER IN DIAMONDS. American Jewelers Take X Stock In the Reported Combination. New Yoek, August 17. The rumor of a corner in diamonds, reported from Lon don, was generally discredited among the leading jewelers to-day. One oi the most prominent merchants said that it was im possible to make a corner, as the capitalists owned only the big diamond mines, while the smaller mines,producing equally as good stones, would sell at a fair price; and force the big concerns on to the market. The slight increase in prices is attributed to the fact that nearly all the fine gems have been sent to the Paris Exposition. Hendricks & Co. continue to lead in fine photographs.

Crosby against Bussell Harrison, which was transferred from the Supreme Court, were received by Clerk Shields, of the United States Circuit Court, to-day. Accompanying them is an answer by William A. Sweetxer, counsel for Mr. Har rison, in which he makes a general denial of the charge of libel. He adds: "For a further separate and distinct defense and answer the defendant alleges that the Mon tana Live Stock Journal is a newspaper pub lished and owned by the Journal Publish ing Company, and the defendant .had no control or connection with matter appearing in the columns of that paper. TERRIBLE DESTITUTION. The Family of a Paper Hancer Actually Dy. Ingot Starvation. ' East Saginaw, Mich., August 17. A terribly distressing case of destitution has just been brought to the notice of the Sagi naw authorities. James M. Smith, paper hanger, is dying of consumption, and he, to gether with his wife and seven children, the eldest under 14 years of age, are actu ally starving. All the children are down with whooping cough. He died last week and the mother buried the remains In the side yard, having no money to purchase a coffin. Neighbors claim they did not know affairs were so bad. AM ANATOMICAL WONDER. A Man Whose Heart Is on tbe Right Bide of His Body. Samsbubt, Md., August 17. Mr. Z. Pritch. ett, of Lake's district, Dorchester county, is a rare specimen of humanity in his anatomical construction, lie is suffering with pulmonary diseases, and on tbe recommendation ot Dr. Jones, his home physician, came to Ballsbury this week to be examined by Dr. John 8. Ful ton. During the physical examination Dr. Fulton accidently discovered that the man's heart was located on tbe right side of his body. Thisgreatly interested the doctor, but as bis patient did not consult him on this point, be did not feel at liberty to make a minute inves tigation. It was not, therefore, ascertained whether the other vital organs wero transposed. The case is one of peculiar interest to the pro. f ession, since it is so rare that less than 200 such cases are on record. Kntnral Gas Bills Redaced 75 Per Cent.
