They Prefer Somebody from the West as Speaker of the House. EASTERN MEN PATOfi FEEE WOOL. Carpet Hannfactnrers Tate a Contrary Tiew of the Matter. THE EEED MEN BETTING HE WILL "WIN. An appeal to wool men all over the coun try has been issued, asking them to exert their influence against Mr. Heed's selection as Speaker of the Eonse of Representatives. The reason for this move is that Mr. Heed is a New Englander, and Eastern men are al leged to be in faror of tree wool. The latest argument advanced by the Heed following in "Washington is the pocketbook. They want to bet that Reed is the coming man. They also claim that no combination against him is possible. ISrECIAL TELZGRAM TO TBS DISFATCH. Philadelphia, November 23. Edward A. Greene, of the firm of Edward A. Greene & Co., wool commission merchants of Phila delphia and Boston, is sending the following appeal to wool men all over the country: Afi organized effort will be made by New England for free wool, and it is very important that the Speaker of the House of Representa tives shall be from the West. I suggest that you write a letter to your member (obtaining as many signatures as possible to it) requesting him to vote for whoever is the most certain to defeat the New Engird candidate. THEY PEAK A DAKK HOUSE. "When asked his reasons to-day ior send ing this circular, Mr. Greene said: "We have no personal ojections to Mr. Heed, who has declared himself in favor of tariff on wool, but, confident that he cannot be elected, fear adarkhorse from Massachusetts, Rhodelsland, or Connecticut might be settled on as a compromise, and these States are strongly in favor of free wool; in Jnct.should Mr. Reed be elected, we are not sure his constituents would not persuade him to for ward their views. Prom the answers I have received so far, it appears wool men prefer Mr. McKinley, but would be satisfied with Mr. Cannon or any other "Western man for Speaker." ONE OF THEIB ABGtJjrENTS. A member of the firm of Justice, Bateman & Co. said: "Should wool be admitted free of duty it wonld be almost entirely im ported, and manufacturers able to buy as cheap as 'we could would simply dispense with us altogether. This is why we are op posed to the election of a New England candidate as Speaker. East ern manufacturers desire free wool. "We favor specific duties. Class 1, or cloth ing wool, pays 10 cents per pound duty when the cost is SO cents per pound or under, and 12 cents per pound when it costs over SO cents a pound at the point of ship ment Class 3, or carpet wool, pays 2Jl cents per pound when it costs 12 cents or under at point of shipment, and 5 cents per pound when the cost is over 12 cents a pound. A GRIEVANCE OK TWO. "The grievance of native wool growers is that foreign growers, by crossing the Don skoi, South American, Dordova and Smyrna breeds with the Merino sheep, have brought such an improvement in the carpet grade, or class 5, which only pays from 2 to 5 cents duty per pound, that it is now used for clothing, and should pay 10 cents per pound. The remedy is to increase the duty on some of the wool imported underclass three, so as to enable the home grower to compete with foreign wool of the same grade, and we desire a Speaker who will favor a measure to that effect." Out of 79 answers received by the Econo mist'from wool men, 60 are for free wool and 19 only for duty ad -valorem. Of these 8 are from Philadelphians and 3 of them favor free raw material, while many others, who are Republicans and have been identified with the protection crusade, are now known to secretly favor free wool. HOrrS TO SEE EEED ELECTED. A large carpet manufacturer, a strong Republican, who took an active part in the last campaign, said when shown Mr. Greene's circular: "The movement is absurd, and I hope to see Mr. Reed elected The dealers want to increase the duty on carpet wool, when it really should come in free, as it cannot be grown here to compete with the European market. If the tariff on the raw material was increased sufficiently to permit of com petition, it would close every one of our mills, as the manufactured goods could be imported a great deal cheaper then we could make them here. I understand per fectly, however, that dealers should be anxious that wool should not come in free, as it would do away with them altogether, but the industry would be better off without those middle men." EVERYBODY GAINING. Ko Such Word ns Fall In Speakership Can 'didoies' Vocabulary Reed Considered Enough In the Lead far the Bet ting Crank to Back Bis Ar gument! With Wind. IrKOM A STAIT COREESrONDENT. "Washington, November 23. One week from to-day the caucus of the Republican members of the House of Representatives will meet for the election of a Speaker and officers of the House. The coming week will, therefore, be a busy one with the candidates- and their friends, and all sortsof stories are afloat as to some of the phases' of that business, such as combina tion! in the interest of this or that candi date, and little savory bits of history which will put this or that one at a disadvantage. Notwithstanding all these stories, it may safely be said that there will be no serious combination, because "none is possible. There is no bitter personal or factional par tisanship in the contest, and Congressmen are not to be used by candidates to form combinations, like delegates to a ward or district convention. EVEBTBODY TO WIN. One of the most attractive features of the contest at this juncture is that each candi date is crowing in strength, according to his friends. Reed is stronger than ever, Mo Klnley's strength reaches above 100 votes, Burrows, Cannon and Henderson are each steadily growing. The aggregate .of the votes claimed for each candidate is largar than the entire membership of the House. The only definite thing that can be said is that Reed is undoubtedly in the lead, with McKinley a good second, and the others waiting for McKinley and Reed to defeat each other, when sonic one of them will take the prize. Colonel Thomas M. Bayneand Mr. Henry Cabot Lodge made the rounds to-day,among members here, and with the final informa tion of the week were able to say that there is not the least doubt, in their minds, of the success of Mr. Reed, and they looked as though they believed every word they said, They are the most practical, MOST DISPASSIONATE CHAMPIONS of any candidate to be found in the thick of the fight They have not counted as certain any doubtful members, and with the figures most unfavorable to them, in accord with the best information, they assure their friends that they have not the least doubt of Reed's election. Hon... John Dalzell, also, who has been in teresting himselt greatly in the contest within the last few days, says he feels ab solutely assured of Reed's success. One of the ablest and best known of the Pennsylvania Congressmen, who is in the city to'-day, was approached by a champion of McKinley with an offer to bet on Mc Kinley's election. The Pennsylvanian coolly said: "How do you want to bet?" "Oh, even, of course." "Very well; I'll bet any sum, from $1,000 to $5,000 that Reed will be elected Speaker." The Mc Kinley man was NOT QUITE BEADY WITH THE CASH, and has not been heard from since. Hear ing that such bluffing was going on, the Pennsylvanian authorized the correspond ent of The Dispatch to accept for him any bets against Reed in sums of from 51,000 to $5,000. Reed is expected to return from New York between this and Monday. Colonel Bayne will make a flying -visit to Pittsburg Monday, leaving the Capital to-morrow night and returning Monday night Mean time Mr. Henry Cabot Lodge will keep an eye on affairs and checkmate any of the tricks of the opposition.

Despite tha official malignity as cause less as it was cruel which saddened and em bittered his last days, his name will always he honorably associated with the best efforts to restore prestige to tho American flag In all channels of commerce. Ex-Mayor Forwood, of Chester, and WilliamjlY Hughes, Superintendent of the "Ward Steamship Line, made appropriate speeches. Cheers were given for Jonn B.

He then came to this country. The Austriaa Government located him, and sent over to have him arrested on a charge of embezzlement United States Commissioner Lyman did not consider the charge and the evidence enough to hold the prisoner. As soon as the Austrian Govern ment heard of this it sent over the money orders which had been tampered with, and Busson was rearrested. He is now in Lud low Street Jail. A BOLD EEBEL UNPUNISHED.

The other persons engaged in the insurrection have also been tried. The Chinaman who was convicted was fined $250, and light fines were imposed upon the ten or twelve natives. Sumens,the Belgian, who was the first one of the con spirators convicted, has had his death sen tence commuted by King Kalakaua to one year's imprisonment after which he will probably be banished. A PE0HIBIT0EI POINT. 'The Sale of Liquor in Kansas In the Orlctnal Pneknsei. Topeka. Kan., November 23. Attorney General Kelfogg has filed in the Supreme Court his brief in the case of the State vs. F. W. Fulker. It raises a new question re garding the prohibitory law whether the shipment of intoxicating liquors from an other State into Kansas, and the sale of these liquors in the original packages, is a violation of the law. This is the first time the question has been raised. Fulker was agent of the Pacific Express Company at Oketo, Kan., and acting in that capacity, received at different times express matter ior Blue Springs, Neb., consisting of several boxes containing whisky. He sold this liquor in the original packages. The case promises to be the most important brought for some time. A SINGULAB CASE. Two Notes Signed by a Convict Found to be Forgeries Ho Thought He Was Signing Ola Name to Petitions for His Pardon A Ver dict Foand la Hit Favor. ISrECIAL TELEOBAM TO THE DISPATCH.! Lyons, N. X., November 23. A case which has attracted unusual attention in "Wayne and Monroe counties-was concluded in the "Wayne Circuit Court to-day. It was the case of Albert G. Graham, of Clyde, against George D. Richardson, of Rochester, executor of the estate of Ed ward Mahar, de ceased. Mahar was sentenced to Auburn prison for life, from Monroe county, ior the murder of his wife. About a year ago he died, leaving a will which devised nearly all his property, which amounted to some $8,000, to charitable institutions in and near Rochester "When the estate came to be settled, two notes signed by Mahar were pre sented to the executors for payment One note was for $8,000 and the other for $1,000. The executor re I used to pay the notes and the suit was the result. The plaintiff tried to prove that the notes were genuine, and called as his principal witness J. M. DeVore, a keeper in Auburn prison. DeVore's testimony was to the effect that on May 2, 1888, Mahar and one Johnson, a fellow-convict, came to him and asked him to write two notes, one for $8,000 and the other for $1,000, payable to bearer and due one year irom date. This De Vore did, and Mahar signed them and gave them to Johnson. This man Johnson was dis charged soon afterward, and is now said to be dead. The notes passed from Johnson to De Vore's father, of Port Byron, then to "William Graham, of the same place, and finally to A. G. Graham, of Clyde, nephew of "William Graham. The defense endeavorad to show, and with success, that the notes were forged. The testimony of John Scanlan, an inmate of the Monroe county pen; was very convinc ing. Scanlan has been in prison in Auburn, Rochester and Oswego, although he is but 26 years old. His brother was killed in Rochester last spring by a railroad detec tive, while stealing brass from a car. He testified that on May 2, 1888, Keeper De Vore told him that he wanted to get some notes out of the "old man," meaning Mahar, and that he gave him two sheets of blank paper, to the bottom of each of which he was to get Mahar's signature. The pa pers were represented to be blank petitions for Mahar's release, which would be filled in with names afterward. The scheme worked, and Mahar signed the papers, which Scan lan handed to De Yore, who pocketed them and remarked: "There, that fixes him." The jury was out five hours, and then returned a verdict for the defendant, decid ing that the plaintiff had no cause of action. A TIGEE HUNT IN INDIANA.

About 11 o'clock their dogs trailed an animal which turned upon them and put them to flight The hunters came up and, catching a glimpse of the animal's form in the imperfect light, concluded that it was a panther.

Martin F. Horensen, an Episcopal clergyman, was found in a woodshed in the rear of his prem ises with a deep gash in the left side of the neck and with another on the left wrist, from which he had bled to death. It was a case of deliberate suicide, as shown by the surroundings. He had taken a bed com forter from the house, spread it upon the floor of the woodshed, removed his coat and rolled it up so as to make a pillow for his head on the comforter, removed his collar and cutis, then sat down upon the impro vised couph and inflicted the wounds that resulted in his death. It is supposed that he committed the act on Friday afternoon, as he had not been seen from 3 p. at, on that day until his body was discovered this noon. Temporary in sanity is the only reason that can be as cribed. Mr. Horensen was 61 years of age, and was rector of an Episcopal church at Atlantic, la., but resides in this city.

Copyright The bloodless re volntion in Brazil has cansed quite a sensation among ttfe Republicans of England. Labouchere has not given tongue yet, but Sir "Wilfrid Lawson waxes quite eloquent in speaking of the New "World, from the frozen North to the sunny South, and from the Atlantic on the east to the Pa cific on the west, being without even one king, one, emperor, one hereditary grand duke or hereditary humbug of any kind. Politicians and financiers are looking very anxiously toward Portugal. A very decided impression prevails that the revolution in Brazil will have its effect on the Spanish peninsula, and stocks, both of Portugal and Spain, have weakened considerably the last few days. In both countries there are power ful parties ready to take any good opportu nities for delivering a blow at the reigning house; and in Portugal, particularly, it is believed snch an attempt would have a fair chance of success. The Comte de Paris is going to Lisbon next month, to see his royal relatives there, and to condole with Dom Pedro. An amusing story is being told just now that concerns the late Emperor of Brazil. "When the novelist, Anthony Trollope, was an officer at the General Postoffice Dom Pedro desired to inspect the building, and Trollope was deputed to show him over. He did so, and plumed himself upon the fact thathe had carried out his task with re markable tact and discretion. Dom Pedro apparently was of the same opinion, for after taking his seat in his oarriage he sent an equerry at full speed back to Trollope. The latter, thinking it was someone wishing to say farewell, held out his hand for a cor dial shake, and then found to his horror that two half crown; had been dropped into his palm. UNSEEMLY CONDUCT IN COURT. Scenes That Wonld Caase Criticism If They Were Duplicated In America. -BY CAULK TO TUX DISPATCH. 1 London, November 23.

This morning a tremendous uproar was caused by the extraordinary conduct of a well-dressed lady, who, having defied Mr. Jnstice Kay in the course of a case which was being heard in Camera, was uncere moniously bundled out of his lordship's court Her piercing screams and cries for justice were heard all over the vast build ing, and people rushed from the courts under the impression that a dynamite out rage or, at least, murder had been com mitted. In the midst of the crowd of bewigged lawyers and spectators, the lady knelt down on the stone flag and prayed that fire might be sent down from heaven and crumble the walls of the courts. Several ushers grabbed the poor woman, who, between hysterical screams, raved about Sodom and Gomarrah, and unjust and impure judges, all the way down stairs to the waiting room, where she was detained until She calmed down. Simi lar occurrences in any American court would have given the British newspapers ample material for njoralizincr editorials on the rowdiness of judicial proceedings in the United States.

The President not only said this, but he was very short about it, and his callers left the White House in anything but a good huntor, notwithstanding the fact that the President told them that tha appointment of Frank Hitchcock as Marshal, might be looked for this evening or Monday. The Marshalsbip is not much, compared with the collectorships, and the Illinois people see in this postponement said to be the eighth formal postponement of the Chicago Federal offices case which the President has indulged in a VEEX GLOOMY FORECAST of the future. They say that appointments will not De made now till alter tne noiioays, and that if President Harrison does not look out he will leave the Chicago offices in charge of Democrats until the incoming of another Democratic administration. "The worst of it is," said an Illinoisan who knows whereof "he speaks, i'the Presi dent does not treat the Senators and members from JHinois as if they were men of importance, worthy consideration. He treats them as if they were mere boys. I don't see bow they stand it, and my belief is that they won't stand it very long. While there is much disgust over the delay, it is certain that Senator Farwell is in one respect very glad that the President decided to drop the matter until after Congress has resumed its sessions. A Senator is twice as big a man when the Sen ate is in session as he is during a recess. Farwell is convinced that there is a strong PBOBAB1XITY OF TROUBLE. "The President is acting in a very peculiar and, unsatisfactory manner, and Farwell is in better condition, strategically, with the matter postponed for ten days, than he would-be if r.the climax were, tacwaa next -week. "On the very first occasion- oa -which the President needs friends in the Senate it is the purpose of Senator Farwell to show his teeth, and if Cullom will join him they may be able to make an - impression upon the sovereign who now thinks it un necessary to . give reason for his failure to appoint men recommended to him by Senators. Farwell and Cullom will not force the fighting, nor go out of their way to give Mr. Harrison a taste of their mettle, hut let ii tow start as in a case like that of Halstead, and see how quick the Illinoisans will jump in and make it un pleasant for the mystery of the White House, and if there is to be a full and frank discussion of the President's first message during the interval between organization of the House and the announcement of the committees, as there are often is, keep your eye on the Hon. William E. Mason." A FLT1NG TISIT TO WASHINGTON. Why Messrs. Lyon nnd Warmcastle Went to See Their Chiefs. rrEon A sTArp cobbis portent, j Washington, November 23. District Attorney Lyon and Collector Warmcastle paid a flying visit to the capital to-day, each to talk with his chief in regard to the inter est of their offices.

It is said to be a selection that will give general satisfaction to Philadelphia Republicans. TO THE PDLL EXTENT OP THE LAW. Campbell, Sherman and Butterwroih Will Push the Case Ag-alnst Wood.

A number of other sailors were ill and the Germans established a hospital on shore for their accommodation. The Amer ican and British residents became alarmed and. complained to their respective Consuls, who asKed the Captain of the Sophie for an explanation: In bis reply to Consul Black lock the Captain admitted thafthe malady was typhus fever, but subsequently the surgeons of the Sophie, and the United States surgeon, Adams, and resident German physicians, held a consultation and pronounced the disease a Samoan fever known as "Tota Vela," or "hot blood." The Sophie's surgeon attributed it to the de caying substances of the wrecks of the Trenton and the other war vessels lost in the hurricane last March. However, the Ger mans removed the sick io a remote part of the town, where two of them have since died. A boat containing nine men of the Flying Venus, from the Pnget Bound, for Mel bourne, which was wrecked at Penrvhn Island, arrived here two weeks ago. The Flying Venus was about four miles from land when she struck on a coral patch. The vessel soon went to pieces and all hands re paired to land. Part of the crew came here in a small boat, and the British Consul here has sent a schooner to Penryhn Island for the others. The schooner has not yet re turned. THERE 18 NO INDUS WAR.
