Congressmen begin to congregate in
"Washington. Eight of them were inter
Tiewed yesterday and the day before, for
The Dispatch. In forecasting their sep
arate and individual views of what is on
the programme, they agree wonderfully on
one point. All of them particularly the
Southerners expect a long struggle over
the organization of the House. They say
they won't submit to any monkeying with
the rules or any Keiferization of Congress.
Each one talks instructively.
HPECIAI. TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH.
"Washington, September 30. The re
turn of Harrison to the "White House has
brought a good many Senators and Con
gressmen back to 'Washington. Their views,
which follow, give a pretty good idea of the
foremost legislation that may be expected
this winter:
"My position in regard to the colonization
of the negroes," said Senator "Wade Hamp
ton, of South Carolina, to-day, "has been
misinterpreted by numbers of people, who
think that I am in iavor of using force to
get them out of the country. In con
sequence of this misinterpretation, I have
recently received scores of letters, most of
them anonymous, oi an exceedingly abusive
and- denunciatory character. I never said
a word about forcing the negroes away.
There is no doubt in my mind, though, that
, it would be better for the South, better for
the negro, and better for the whole country,
if the 'darkies' could be put by themselves.
General Grant favored something of this
kind when he advocated the purchase of
some of the western islands. .For myself, I
would favor a bill giving governmental aid
to the removal and settlement of those
willing to emigrate. Then the negroes
would have an opportunity of seeing what
they could do for themselves in the way of
self-government.
HE SUGGESTS MEXICO.
"Would one of the "Western Territories
do?"
"It would be better to have them go to
Mexico or one of the coast islands."
"While the race conflict in the South has
been exaggerated,"continued Senator Hamp
ton, "there is no doubt that the negro is
growing restless and dissatisfied. The young
negroes are not so thrifty as the old were
and the education they are receiving is un
fitting them to be laborers. The presence of
the negro is also keeping desirable white
immigration from the South. Taken alto
gether if something is not done to avert it,
the friction between the two races must
sooner or later end in bloodshed and loss of
life."
''One of the most interesting questions to
Sonthern members is whether the Republic
ans in the coming Congress will try to pass
a national election law. It can't be done.
If the Republicans aim to change the rules
so as to deprive the minority of their rights,
the m.notity will resort to the same tactics
to prevent a change of the rules as they
otherwise would resort to to defeat a meas
ure to which they are unalterably opposed."
GBEAT WITHOUT PROTECTION.
"The South," Senator Hampton said, "is
destined to become great as a manufactur
ing section, but it does not need protection
for its "infant industries." In coarse fabrics
South Carolina is already underselling the
cotton mills of Lowell. The reason why
the South must become the great manufact
uring section of the "United States is quite
evident. Our climate enables us to work 12
months in the year. Labor is cheaper and
the cotton is grown right on' the ground.
These inducements are bound to bring capi
tal to us. Then, in regard to iron, it we can
produce that at $11 per ton, as is done, we
nave no need for protection. The South has
superior natural advantages, and whatever
protection the Government levies simply
helps to keep up the competition in the
2forth."
Congressman C. B, Breckinbridge, of
Arkansas, said: "I have always believed in
giving a fair trial to the theory of Civil
Service reform we have adopted. I think
the term 'civil service reformer is a pretty
broad and comprehensive one, and covers
people of a great variety of views.
BROAD BEFOEM AND THE EACES.
"I have always called myself a civil
service reformer, though differing radically
Jrom many other civil service reformers. I
believe in making such changes in the law
as experience may dictate and practice has
shown what is needed. I dare say there are
many abuses and things that need to be cor
rected." "How about the passage of an election
bill and the revival of the race question?"
"The people who make the most fuss
about the race question are the people who
understand the leastabout it. The electoral
bill will have no more to do with the race
question than it will have to do with the
Chinese question. I judge by what is said
by prominent men in public that there will
be some legislation at the next session of
the character of an electoral bill. The
South will have no mere interest in the bill
than the Korth, and a bill that is bad in its
scope will be no more objectionable there
than in the North.
MIGHTY SEARCHING ALREADY.
We Already haw a great deal of legisla
t-''K
.3
'V"'-
tion in force relating to Federal elections.
A great many people seem to think that
there is no law on the statute books relating
to Federal elections; but there is scarcely
any offense that can be conceived of that the
Federal Congress doesn't have jurisdiction
over, and doesn't come immediately under
the eye of the supervisors, and such laws
can hardly be more stringent without going
behind the Constitution of the United
States, in which event they would be a
nullity, and would be so declared.
"Those who agitate this subject build
their theories upon the hypothesis that there
is a general and comprehensive falsification
of the negro vote in the South. That is
false, utterly false, and therefore the South
has no concern in such legislation. If the
country wants to take the details of elections
under immediate Federal supervision and
try the experiment, I am inclined to think
that those who are making so much iuss
about the election bill will be surprised at
the cordial support they will have from the
South. "We don't care any more about the
effects of such a law than they do."
CIVIL SERVICE CHANGES.
Representative Anderson, of Kansas,
said: "I think it very likely the authors
of the present Civil Service law will desire
its further amendment, and that they will
act accordingly. Doubtless its opponents
vill desire its repeal, so that amendments
of. every possible description will be offered,
and doubtless some legislation secured."
"Do you think the present method of en
forcing the law is calculated to produce the
effect its Cramers desired?"
"My observation of the present working
of the law leads me to believe that the
-methods of its enforcement -now in vogue
wore great injustice in many cases, ana are
far from securing the objects of the law to
the extent which its friends desire. For
example, the practical tendency is to give
lite positions to certain citizens as against
other citizens. The extreme tenure of the
highest office under our Government that
of the President is eight years, and it is
somewhat difficult to see why clerical posi-.
tions in the departments 'should have a
greater tenure than that of the President
and his Cabinet. The spirit of our institu
tions is against exclusive benefits to one
class and against lifelong holdinir of office.
I only mention this as an instance of what
seems to me a defect in the present law; but,
of course, others will see other points on
which they will desire amendments."
TRUSTS ABE MENACED.
"Will any legislation be attempted at the
next session on the subject of trusts?"
"Beyond all doubt there will. Many
efforts will be made to protect the people
against the greatest danger now threatening
their prosperity. In what particular form
the legislation will be presented, no one
can now say. But the epidemic of con
trolling each class of businessby some
trust, which has raged and is raging in the
United States to a wholly unprecedented
degree, will inevitably and inexorably com
pel Congress to di'cuss and act upon that
question. In view ot the power of trusts
and their interests in drafting legislation,
no one can say what the result will be."
Representative Ben Butterworth has now
settled down to hard work after his Euro-.
pean trip. He was seen by a reporter
to-day and asked if he would make an effort
during the coming session of Congress to a
closer relationship between Canada and the
United States, as desired by his resolution
introduced in the House last winter. He
said:
ANNEXATION A GEOWINO NEED.
"I shall always endeavor to secure a
closer relationship between the two branches
of the English speaking family on this con
tinent in the interest of larger opportunities
and progressive civilization. "What will be
done this winter in the matter of extending
our trade with Canada, I do not know. I
am earnestly in favor, and always shall be,
of an unrestricted trade with Canada, abso
lutely unrestricted commercial intercourse
between the people of the two countries."
"Have you any way ot judging whether
the Canadians look more or less favorably on
the proposition to annex their territory to
the United States?"
"I do not know how the Canadian people
feel about that I have felt tbenecessity
for the people of the two countries to come
nearer together for some time. Our own
advantage suggests that which is as appar
ent as the advantage it will be to Canada.
It is simply a question as to when the peo
ple on both sides of the line will come to
realize that their interests will require closer
relations. I shall introduce a bill in the
next Congress looking to closer commercial
relations. I have no doubt but that the
majority of our Canadians favor the estab
lishment of unrestricted commercial inter
course. Beyond that I am not advised."
"Will the race question be a live issue
this winter?"
"A race question that cannot solve itself
when let absolutely alone is likely to be a
problem not capable ot solution by legisla
tion." THE TARIFF.jAFTEB A TBIP ABBOAD.
"You have had a very satisfactory trip
abroad?"
"It was a very hurried trip a lively gal
lop, in fact, but in the lieht of my reading
the places visited were lull of interest, and
such a trip is calculated to either broaden
one's views or confirm one's convictions on
certain subjects."
"Have your ideas on the subject of the
tariff been at all influenced by what you
have seen?"
"Not in the slightest degree. I found that
my information in many respects was incor
rect, but I am thoroughly satisfied that the
protective system is a wise, philosophical,
and humane one confined to its proper func
tions. It is in the interest of our country
and every other country.
"I do not find, however, a trace of that
pauper labor and wretchedness in Germany
that I have of'en described with touching
earnestness. That is all insufferable rot.
The German people are a wonderful people.
Tbeyare strong mentally, and those qualities
are combined with candor and courage and in
dustrial economy, I didn't see a weed or loafer
in Germany. 1 didn't see a drunken man In
Germany. I heard more music and saw more
flowers In one town ot that country than I aid
in all of Italy, which is supposed to be the land
of flowers. The German soil is thin and poor,
and, with abridged opportunities, the Germans
accomplish what they do by herculean effort.
They are a wonderful people."
SOMEWHAT REVOLUTIONARY.
Congressman Yoder, of Ohio, when interro
gated, said: "An attempt will be make to pass
an election bill. I didn't think so until re
cently. Senator Sherman's views, published
within the oast few da vs. convince me of this.
Then the Republican party in New York and
Massachusetts both urge such action. I
see that Sherman recently said that the repre
sentation of the colored people in the South
had been raised from three-fifths to five-fifths,
and he thought they should have it or the rep
resentation of the Sonth should be reduced."
"What do you think of such a blllf
"I think it wonid be a subversion of the
principles of the Government to pass It The
first attempt in this direction will be made
when Congress meets in an effort to change the
roles so that the Republicans will be enabled
to turn out 18 Democrats, and do business
without a quorum present. In other words,
their majority will be so small that they will
make an effort to change the rules that they
may work readily whether they have a quorum
or not, But if they undertake toKeiferize
this Congress they will have a big contract on
their hands." There will also be an attempt to
abolish the internal revenue, for the abolition
of which the Republican party Is pledged.
They would abolish the entire internal
revenue tax before sacrificing the least
in ,the way of the customs duty. I
don't think they will accomplish their purposes,
however. My idea is that the tax sbould first
be taken off the necessities of life, and that
raw material should be furnished as cheaply
as possible to stimulate manufactories The
tax on alcohol and tobacco I consider the
least odious. I would favor haviDg cheaper
blankets, cheaper tin buckets, before cheapen
ing whiskv and tobacco."
"How about the civil servicer"
"An attempt will be made to refuse appro
priation for it and my ideals, that it may as
well be repealed."

"Well, if any attempt to Kelfenze the House
very little business will tB transacted outside
of passing the appropriation bill. The Demo
crats will stand out for their rights to the
last"
"I don't see any form that legislative action
could take on that subject," said Rcpresenta
ilve Hurd, of Missouri, when asked if he
thought the race question wonld come before
Congress. "The House is so evenly balanced
that should such a measure be introduced it
would at once become a partisan question the
moment It approached Congress. I think there
Is likely to be some controversy on the race
question, bnt if that is the case it will crow out
of the attempt on the part ot the majority to
pass some sort of election bilL"
"How aboat civil service?"
"The objectors to that commission have now
been transferred from one party to another be
cau'8 of the change of the administration.
When the Democrats were in possession of the
Saces the complaints came from that side,
y judgment is that there will be no legisla
tion accomplished in the present Congress re
lating to the civil service. I don't believe it is
practicable to make any change In the civil
service law without a good deal of noise."
,'Wjll there be any Important new legisla
tion T"
"My idea ts that there will be very little, and
that. I think, is the general impression among
Congressmen. Very few, if anypeonle, expect
any material change In the tariff law. There
will probably be an effort to repeal, in part or
in whole, the internal revenue law. How tbat
contest will come out nobody can tell. It will
probably be a very close question. So far as I
am concerned 1 am opposed to it. I don't think
anyone expects a change in the tariff."
Congressman J. M. Farqubar. of Buffalo, Is a
strong advocate of Reed for Speaker. "Who
will be the leader of the Republican side of the
Chamber if Reed is made Speaker?" he was
asked.
NO LEADER IS NEEDED.
"The majority doesn't need any leader,"
was the reply. "There are 15 committees,
and thehairman of each of these is expected
to be fully prepared to defend whatever comes
from his committee. The Democrats had no
leader in the last Congress. The mostim
portanttblng that Congress onght to do dur
ing the next session, in addition to eleeting
Mr. Reed as Speaker, would be to pass the
bill eivine a snbsldv to American shins."
"If I could have my wav about the adjust
ment of the tariff," Mr. Farquhar added, "I
would dispose of It in Very short oraer. My
bill wouldn't be more than six or eight pages
long. I would repeal the Internal revenue,
that is the tax on tobacco, except cigars and
cigarettes, at any rate."
Representative James B. McCreary, of Ken
tucky, said: "In giving opinions remember
that I speak, only for myself. If the Repub
licans attempt to commit arbitrary, unjust and
oppressive acts, the Democrats should fiirht
them to the uttermost and oppose every parlia
mentary obstacle to their attempts. It, they
are liberal and just we will meet them half way.
If they are not our opposition should extend
so far as to prevent the consideration of appro
priation bills and other important legislation
rather than submit and allow the majority to
ride rough-shod over us. Then let the odium
and responsibility rest on their shoulders."
"WHAT THEY "WILL RESENT.
"What would be considered the first overt
act of hostility and oppression?"
"An attempt to revise the rules of the last
House, and impose on the minority an arbitrary
and tyrannical code. It is customary for a
member of the majority to more that the rules
of the preceding House be adopted until other
wise ordered by the House. I have looked the
matter np for 19 years, and find that the prece
dent has not been broken. As soon as possible
1 will traoe the precedent back to its beginning.
If the majority fails to present this resolution
and proceeds under general parliamentary
rules, or limits the rulesof tbeprecedlngHouse
to a fixed date. It will be proof that they Intend
to revise the rules. I do not object to certain
revisions, but I do object to any revision which
will give the Republican majority power to
oppress the Democratic minority. The minority
has richts. and I repeat, if the majority at
tempts to unseat Democrats who are fairly and
legally elected we will fight them with every
parliamentary weapon."
"Do you anticipate a vigorous policy by the,
maturity!" - --1
"If thp Republicans are sagacious they win
rot-attempt it.. At best they can have only
three over a quorum, and will be nnable to ac
complish anything without Democratic aid. 1
hope they will he wise enough to adopt a mod
erate course."
"Will Speaker Carlisle be the minority can
didate for Speaker."
"I judgehewilL He deserves it"
KING CAUCUS FOBEVEE.
"What do you think the best policy for the
Democrats to pursue as regards party manage
ment in Congress?"
"The caucus plan has the most merits. It
al.ows a full and free discussion ot measures,
and is far better than management by a com
mittee. That plan was tried in the Fiftieth
Congress, but was a failure. I saw it tried
twice in the Kentucky Legislature with like
result. It doesn't work well. The caucus
affords the most representative system of man
agement. I think that Mr, Carlisle will be
elected chairman of the caucus to succeed the
late Representative Cox."
"What leeislation will be most objectionable
to the Democrats?"
The Sherman or Chandler Federal election
bills, I have examined them carefully, and
know that they are designed to disturb the
peaceful relations which now exist in the
Sonth. Except in Congressional elections we
sun noia to me viva voce system oi voting In
Kentucky. A man walks up to the polls, is
identified, and declares his preference. lie
names his candidates, or else says, 'I vote the
Republican ticket,' or "I vote the Democratic
ticket' and the Democratic and Republican
judces of elections record his ballot. It works
admirably in Kentucky, and cultivates a spirit
of independence and equality. We do not
want that svstem disturbed."
"How is politics in Kentucky?"
"The Democrats carried the State at the last
election by over 30,900, and won a substantial
victory, though the Republicans had been
claiming the State. Kentucky was the first
State to go Democratic after the war, and the
first State to send a solid Democratic delega
tion to Congress. The Democrats are united,
sanguine and solid for tariff reform. They are
also satisfied with Mr. Cleveland's administra
tion." A PLACE FOE GES. GOPP.

"Washington, September 30. The

of powerful political machinery, and Mr.

South.
The President's idea is that Mr. Goff
could so arrange .things as to steer "West

State into the Republican column in 1892.
This would satisfy a pet scheme of his for

Caldwell, O., September 30. Private
Dalzell having intimated that original an- J
tograph letters from President HamsoD,'
Corporal Tanner, Senator Sherman and
Congressman Taylor corroborate his allega-j
tion that the Deputyship of Pensions was
expressly promised to him, la Western editor
to-day made the Private a liberal offer in
cash for the whole batch, with a view to
publication. The Private's reply was
characteristic, and reads as follows:
I will not pretend to feel any indignation at
the offer made by you as a business proposi
tion solely, of course, nor shall I resent it as an
insult as many a saintly sinner would. Grant
and Sherman both in their extremity sold alU
their correspondence for good money, and saw
no harm in it if it affected any public Interest
or settled any historic question. Still theso
letters you ask for are very sacred to me. I
would not part with them for any money. They
will not be printed while I live except upon the
demand of their authors. Ton need not smile
back and say that I printed Tanner's letter.
That looked bad. I did not like to doit It
was a necessity I could not avoid. I would
publish any letter before any man should say I
lieu.
A CLEAR VINDICATION.
My word was called in question. Tanner's
letter vindicated me, and I was compelled to
publish It There I rest my case.
I am corroborated in every statement I have
made about Tanner and the Pension Office.
Hence these smiles.
Poor as Lazarus, I would not sell one of
honest John Sherman's letters to be made pub
lic for all the wealth of California. I have hl3
letters running back through nearly SO years
sacred possessions to me not a lie, not a
broken promise In them, though they bear
quiet testimony to the treachery, falsehood
and double dealing of at least three Presi
dents! Colonel J. D. Taylor's letters are
equally sacred and equally above all price.
I know my duty to the President or the United
States too well to commit the indecency
of publishing his private letters to me running
back through 15 years, Iihave never published
a line ot his letters or a word he said to me yet
nor will 1 do so unless he demand it My case
is concluded. The testimony in chief is all in.
If I am not contradicted I shall have nothing
to offer In rebuttal: but if I must I must lint
when I do publish these letters, I will neither
ask nor accept any money for tbem. Pormy

pension ATPAIES CHAOTIC.
As bearing upon another phase of the
same live topic treated above, the following
special telegram from Washington may be
Tend with interest
Affairs at the Pension Bureau are in any
thing but a satisfactory condition, as may be
imacined from the fact tbat business flows In
with as much rapidity when there is not a Com
missioner as when there is, and that the office
has now been for some weeks without a
responsible head. The Acting Commissioner,
Hiram Smith, Is a man who, like.Tanner, bad
his maimed bodv to recommend him to the
notice of the administration.
Corporal Tanner spends the larger part of
his time in seclusion nowadays. Chance visitors
at his home in Georgetown are kindly received,
but not encouraged to repeat their calls fre
quently. His family stands guard over him to
see that he does no more talking. In spite of
their care, however, he has once or twice
burst the bond of silence to speak his
mind about Private Dalzell. whom he
now says he regards as a greater enemy
even than Assistant Secretary Bussey.
It would make the Private's ears tingle
to be-r the Corporal launch expletives at him;
but toere is no question among Tanner's
friends here that Dalzell has killed Tanner's
chances for any desirable place under the
present administration. General Brown's for
the Pension Commissionership, and his own for
anything in anybody's gift, now and forever
more.
It may be said, moreover, that any person
chosen for Pension Commissioner by the Presi
dent if of higher rank than a captain during
the war. will have his character thoroughly
sifted as soon as his name comes out in the
newspapers.

personal solicitations of Senators Ingalls

availed nothing.
Secretary Noble was, at last acconnts, fa

his Cabinet officers help him decide to-morrow
who shall succeed Corporal Tanner.
Senator Sherman and Congressman But
terworth called at the White House to-day,
ostensibly in the interest of Colonel Brown,
of Cincinnati; but they could get not the
slightest intimation of the President's pur

Brown is out of it already.

Pennsylvania, is booming to-night, and
what is supposed to be information straying
from the Executive mansion is that, if the

wonld pocket the plum.

on board was relieved from command
by a dispatch from Secretary Tracy, and
Captain Whiting, who had been assigned to

vessel on her mission. The change was a
surprise to everybody on board the Kear

the message came Commander Shepard
packed his baggage and left the ship with

he liad been relieved at his own request.
Mr. Douglass arrived in town from "Wash

his quarters on the Kearsage, which will

of Personal Reasons for Dis

rSFXCIAL TILEQEAJI TO THE DISFATCTM
New YOBK, September 30. The lead
men of New Tork and the smelters of Colo
rado, Idaho, Missouri, Montana, Ogden,
South Dakota, Utah, Nevada and "Wash
ington say they have a grievance against
the Hon. "William "Windom, Secretary of
the Treasury. They are very positive in
their complaints against the Secretary, and
base their statements ou official documents
on file in the Treasury Department In a'
word, they assert that Mr. Windom refuses
to exact a custom revenue of 1 cents a
pound on Mexican lead ores mixed with
silver. They are equally positive that this
amount of d'utv is prescribed bv law on the
ores in question, and some of those inter-
sted are convinced that unless this dnty islw.110 pronouncea the sentence upon the
moosed manvot-the Western leaamtnt"rT?Faff".'kew,:?ei?r.lon.!w?,Me-
imposed manr"of"the Western leau mines'
will have to shut down. As .it is, some of
the mines in Montana and Idaho have
already stopped; so said an eminent author
ity on lead to-day.
The imposition of the duty, the lead men
say, would shut out the Mexican ores, and,
should Mr. "Windom continue to refuse to
accept their interpretation of the law, they
will have serious apprehensions concerning
the future of the lead interests in this
country. Mr. "Windom is interested in the
Topolobampo Railroad, and, it is said, is
withholding his decision in the case until a
much needed concession is granted it by
Mexico.
In this, connections dispatch from "Wash
ington savs: Mr. Thomas Ryan, the United
States Minister to Mexico, arrived in the
city this morning. He is away from his
post, for CO days. He could not be found
this evening, but it is understood 4hat his
return to this country is in part for the pur
pose of conferring with Secretary Blaine
and the President, in regard to the lead ore
question, and ascertaining the policy to be
pursued bv the United States. It is also
probable that the presence in this country
of the delegates to the International Amer
ican Congress has had considerable to do
with his visit to "Washington.
AFTEE HIS HEAD WAS CUT 0FP
A Brakemnn Plainly Proved That He Was
Btlll Conscious.
Negattnee, Mich., September 30.
Fireman Matthey Byo had an experience
that be will never forget A brakeman
named Thomas Higgins slipped between
two freight cars on a moving train near
Maple Ridge. The signal to stop was given
by another brakeman, who saw the fall, and
the train stopped and backed up to where
Higgins lay. Five cars had passed over
his body, which was frightfully mangled.
The head was completely severed from the
trunk and lay several feet from the track.
Fireman Byo picked up the head, and
was horror stricken to see the eyelids close
and again open and partly close again.
This was seen by Engineer William "Whit
ney and the brakeman. AH three were
badly frightened. This sign of conscious
ness was given 'several minutes after the
head was severed, from the body. The three
witnesses are reliable men, well known
here.

Mrs. Kobert Ray Hamilton is happy again
in the possession of the celebrated baby
Beatrice. Sheriff Johnson's wife went to
Philadelphia yesterday and obtained the
little one from Mrs. Bupp and took it to its
alleged mother. The meeting between Mrs.
Hamilton and the infant is described as
more touching than was that between Ham

r6PrCIALTILEORAMTO TBI DISPATCH.l
Mat's Landing, N. J., September 30.
Baby Beatrice was restored to the arms of
Mrs. Robert Ray Hamilton this afternoon.
The mysterions little chunk of humanity
reached her at 6 o'clock. She was in the arms
of Mrs. Smith Johnson, the benevolent wife
of the urbane, accommodating and big
hearted Sheriff of this county, "When Mrs.
Johnson alighted from the Philadelphia
train at the May's Landing Court House
she met with a remarkable -reception.
Almost the entire population of the Court
House district was at hand to receive her.
Sheriff Johnson was the only notable
absentee. His two sons were at the station,
so were the two daughters of S. S. Hudson.
Hudson is a candidate for re-election to the
Assembly. He is a friend of Sheriff John

to Philadelphia this morning, in a decisive
exenrsion for the recovery from Mrs. Bupp
of the baby in litigation.

"When Mrs. Johnson stepped from the
train, at the Court House, she handed
Beatrice to her gallant escort Captain
Hudson bore the infant to the jail, heading
the procession of curions observers from the
landing. Sheriff Johnson stood on the
porch of his house. He received the active
persons in the case. Then he conscientiously
closed his doors. The excluded multitude
watched from the street the attic window of
Mrs. Hamilton's prison.
Captain Hudson, followed emulously by
Sheriff and Mrs. Johnson, was seen to pre

arms. Then the curtain was drawn. The
agony that ensued was left to the imagina

that he had been advised by Judge Reed,
who pronounced the sentence upon the

following her sentence.
Sheriff Johnson said to-nightthat he had
not yet determined when he would take
Mrs. Hamilton to Trenton. "I will not
take her there for a week yet," was nis
answer. Beside babv Beatrice. Mrs. Ham
ilton enjoys to-night the. possession of three
trunks containing the costly wardrobe that
has been in the careful keeping of Mrs.
Rupp. Her jewels, or an important part of
them, were in her possession when she was
first brought to the county jail. Everybody
who was present at the trial remembers that
Mrs. Hamilton, although
MODESTXT DBESSED,
wore a scarf pin of clustered diamonds. Her
long gloves concealed" her bracelets, studded
with precious stones, and her costly rings.
A great deal of stuff has been published
concerning Mrs. Hamilton's demomrrative
interview with her husband, last weet:. The
sole witness of that interview wa Mrs.
Johnson, who remained in the room! Mrs.
Hamilton, on the entrance of her husband
and Mrs. Johnson, stood at her window with
her face buried in her handkerchief. Ham
ilton folded his arms and regarded her for
several minutes before a word passed be
tween tbem. The wife was the first to break
the silence.
"Will you desert me, "Ray? she said.
Hamilton's rejoinder was the demand that
she should disclose the parentage of the
child. This Mrs. Hamilton refused to do as
she did at the trial. The interview
TERMINATED UNSATISFACTORILY'.
Hamilton is expected to see her again be
fore she is taken to Trenton. Mrs. Hamil
ton's lawyer is expected to see her to-morrow.
The report that Mrs. Hamilton is in
a delicate condition is untrue. The an
nouncement emanated from herself. Her
physician is authority for the denial.
One of Mrs. Hamilton's visitors to-day
was a woman who came here this afternoon
from New York. She was a tall, striking
blonde. She refused to give her name, but
she bore a message to Mrs. 'Hamilton from
Mrs. Swinton, and she was admitted by the
Sheriff to the prisoner's room. She had
been traveling all night, and was obliged to
lie down at the jail before faking the last
train back to New Tork.

London, September 30. .The attempt of

rsrXCTAI. TZX.XGBAX TO THS SIIFATCB?.!
Ne-wYobk, September 30. On October
23 Mrs. James G. Blaine, Jr., -was to make
her debut in New Tork as a professional ac
tress. All her dates for 1889 have been can
celled, at a loss to Mr. Frohman, her- man
ager. If she is able to leave her bed in an
other month ii will be, in all probability,
simply to move about her apartments on
crutches,crippled by the inflammatory rheu
matism, from which she is suffering.
Early last Saturday evening a gentleman
called at The Percival, where Mrs. Blaine
lives, and sent word upstairs that Mr.
Philip Carpenter would like to know what
Mrs. Blaine's condition of health was. He
was assured that she was very ill and could
see nobody. About the same time James
G. Blaine, Jr., made his appearance and
wandered about the lower hall and restaur
ant of The Percival, looking, it is supposed,
for Mr. Carpenter. He made no inquiries
about bis wife.
Mr. Carpenter is a friend of young Mr.
Elaine, and acted as his lawyer when young
Blaine.was sued, some time ago, by a firm
of broken on his failure to make good his
margins in a stock speculation. Mrs.
Blaine's" friends think that young Blaine
and his lawyer concluded to investigate lor
themselves the newspaper reports of Mrs.
Blaine's condition. That Mrs. Blaine has
made up her mind to secure a divorce
from her husband is certain, and in deter
mining ou this course Mrs. Blaine has the
full approval of her family and lawyers.
Now that there is no present likelihood of
her appearing on the stage, she feels that
she has an opportunity to secure an abso
lute divorce without laying herself open to
the accusation that she is advertising her
self, and she has practically determined to
take the decisive step.
"When she has recovered sufficiently to
travel Mrs. Blaine will take a course of
treatment at some hot springs iu the hope of
effecting a permanent recovery.
