A PRESIDENT WHIPPED AT WHIST, Bat Congressman John Dalzell Wasn't on the Winning Side for This Particular Occasion. FBOH THE DITIDB DOWN TO THE CITT. The pleasure of privacy in which the Chief Magistrate of the United States may take a day's journey, when he wants to, was the feature of his trip from Washington to Pittsburg. The incidents of the occasion were of that plain, everyday character which nicely illustrates how close together in life and habits the President and the people al ways are, after all. Intrusions were few and far between; the tedium of formality and oratory was unnecessary; a game or two of whist showed how very poorly some distinguished people can play cards; and conversation, literature and an occasional brass band or two completed the picture. rrEOM A ETAIT COEKESrONDET.I On Boabd Pbesidental Train, February 19. S President Harrison kissed Baby McKee goodby at exactly 12 o'clock. His Excel lency had been accompanied to the Balti more and Ohio Railroad depot in Washing ton by Private Secretary Halford and the baby. They were the last to arrive; Fif teen minutes before that the stylish two deck coach of La Normandie Hotel came down from McPherson Square and landed Andrew Carnegie's Scotch valet, with a lot cf his master's luggage, in the hands of the station porters. He went direct to the special train for Pittsburg to make prepara tions for the trip. A few minutes later Congressman Thomas M. Bayne, of Alle gheny, stepped out of a cab, and close upon his heels followed Congressman Dalzell, of Pittsburg, who had walked across from the CapitoL "While they were sitting in the waiting room awaiting Mr. Carnegie's arrival Prof. S. P. Langley, of the Smith sonian Institution, joined them. He was ac companied by his colored valet. The next coach from La Normandie brought Mr. Carnegie and Hon. Enoch Pratt, of Balti more. Then the whole party went downstairs to the train. If was scheduled to leave Wash ington at 12 sharp. Only three minutes re mained. But the President was on time, and he attracted but little attention as he disembarked from the White House car riage and walked hastily through the depot He carried his little grandchild in his arms to the train, and as the conductor shouted "All'aboardl" kissed and returned the child to Mr. Halford for a return to the Executive Mansion. The Special Train. "It is going to be a quiet, easy journey to Pittsburg," explained Mr. Carnegie to his guests as the train pulled out around the Washington "Y." "We propose to jog along not faster than 30 miles an hour, and still reach our destination in good bed time." Mr. C. K. Lord, of the Baltimore and Ohio Company, had placed his private car "Delaware" at the disposal of the Presi dental party. It is a large, roomy coach, not so gorgeous as it is comfortable. In one end is the dining room, partitioned off by curtains from the drawing room. In the middle a bed occupies a stateroom, while berths for four are on either side of it. The other end of the coach is taeen up by a kitchen. For smoking purposes an ordinary car bad been attached, and these two coaches made up the train. When the passengers got off their heavy coats and donned traveling caps they found the tables of the drawing room already supplied with the morning papers and other literature, among them several illustrated weeklies containing pictures of Carnegie and his Allegheny library. Bo everybody went to reading. For safety the railroad company had placed its best men in charge of the train. T. T. Allen, the Baltimore train master, managed the trip as far as Cumberland. He carried with him, that far. Engineer W. N. Parlette, Fireman H. H. Hildebrand, Con ductor H. Constantine, Baggagemaster H. C. Hortzell and Brakeman A. G. Abigill. Telegraphic orders were dispatched giving the "special" right of way all along the line. Some War Memories. A President is no curiosity in "Virginia or Maryland, and for that reason the first SO miles of the ride were marked by no de monstration. The distinguished passengers aboard had become involved in the discus sion of some political or Congressional news in the papers, and this, broadening, had led the President to take up Puck to read aloud an article therein. Just as he had read the words, "The President turned him out," a rough-looking granger, who was just a little tipsy, swung himself In at the rear door. The train had made its first stop at Washington Junction, 40 miles west of the city. '-Old man Fisher," as this man's name turned out to be, was plastered all over with corps badges, G. A. R. and Union Veteran emblems. He was a Virginian from across the Potomac who had fought in the Northern army. "The President can't afford to fire that man out when he is covered with those badges," mused the colored porter. And the President didn't try to fire him out Mr. Carnegie motioned him toward Mr. Harrison, and. suspending his reading. The Chief Magistrate shook the fellow's hands warmly. Although General Harrison has traveled the main stem of the B. & O. quite often while en route to Deer Park and the West, he says he never tires of the wild and historic- scenery at Harper's Ferry. It was passed, without stopping, at 1:30. It afforded the opportunity for a change of conversa tion, and one of the gentlemen recalling General Miles' ignominous defeat at this place aroused the President's interest Maryland Heights, Loudon and Bolivar Heights, each of which was successfully stormed by the Confederates, were pointed ont to him. Dangerous Gait When the train reached Martinsburg, W. Va., a stop of five minutes was made. How ever, the Presidentnd his friends remained inside. A commercial traveler, clad in one of those great flashy coats and carrying two or three big sample cases, sauntered up to the brakeman. PBESIDENT HABBISON, YH0SK PRESENCE 8IQNALIZES MB. CABNEOIE'S GIBT. "Will you carry me to Cumberland?" he asked. "No, sir; this is a special train," replied the trainman. "That doesn't matter. lean easily ar range it with the fellow who chartered the train after we start So let me on." It was evident the salesman did not know who "the fellow" was, and, without enlightening him, the railroader again re fused, i "But, d it, I must get to Cumberland. Tf you don't carry me I wjll.not b able to reach there until nearly midnight, and that's too late for my gamel'persisted the stranger, flourishing his hands. "Xou see I was up late last night, and overslept myself to-day. I missed the last train by five minutes, and It carried my rival firm's drummer to Cumberland. He knows I got left, and he will capture a 5500 order that is at Cumberland forme. So make up your mind I'm going to beat him by taking this train." "But you can't The party won't allow it" "Who is the party, anyhow?" The President of the United States, sir," and the brakeman straightened up in a self satisfied way, as though he had enunciated a stunner. "That makes no difference. Just excuse me and I will go up and explain matters to Mr. President He will let me go, if I have to throw off 30 per cent in selling him an order of shirts. Just think of that rival of minel He's close to Cumberland now." y The First Ovation. The fellow actually made an attempt to reach President Harrison, but as the brake man told him Mr. Carnegie was in charge of the train, he cried: "Ah. hal so much the better. He's in business, and will see how the loss of that $500 order may ruin me." "Your cheek would have derailed the train, if you had got in front of the loco motive," swore the conductor, as he pulled the bell rope. ' The first big ovation of the day was at Cumberland, and perhaps the drummer's rival participated in it At least 2,000 peo ple had gathered on the grand platform there, and their cheets were accomoanied by the Cumberland City Brass Band. There were boisterous calls for the President His Excellency, hearing that a stop wonld be made, had put on his overcoat and now stepped on the rear platform. Lifting his felt traveling hat he bowed pleasantly to the people, but that didn't satisfy them, and they compelled him to come close to the edge of the steps. The children appeared to have the best of the straggle, and at least 100 of them were reaching up their hands for "a shake." Harrison put in nearly five minutes of this kind of work, when the climax was reached by a white man lifting a little colored girl high in the air for the President's favor. He shook her hand heartily, and then, amid loud laughter, dis appeared within the car. There a deputation of Cumberland citi zens (waited him, headed by ex-Congress-man Lloyd Loudus, Mayor J. William Shuck and W. E. Griffith. They only had time to shake hands, and the train pulled out Duqaesne Clnb Tronbles. A telegram was brought on board for Mr. Garncgie'at Cumberland. It announced the appointment of Messrs B. F. Jones and John Chalfant by the Dnquesne Club, at Pittsburg, to receive the President Mr. Carnegie read themes3age aloud. "What Is all this talk I see In the news papers about my having offended the Dn quesne Club of your city ?" asked Presi dent Harrison, innocently, as he listened to the message. Oh, that is only the talk of Demo cratic newspapers," said Colonel Bayne, trying to avoid any embarrassment, and it appeared in the "Washington Pott too, you know." "They might have known," remarked the President, "that under any circumstances I was Mr. Carnegie's guest, no matter where he chose to quarter me, while in Pittsburg. I mean't no offense, I'm sure." "Oh, this if nothing," laughed Mr. Car negie, "see, the dab has appointed two of your warmest friends, General, to meet you." This was all that was said publicly about the matter. It seems the Dnquesne Club's letter was not an invitation demanding an answer. It took for granted that the Presi dent would da their gnest as he did, taking the club at their word. Colonel Bayne says Secretary Blaine took an active part in helping Mr. Carnegie secure the Presi dent's consent to go to Pittsburg. He aided Mr. Carnegie in this way because of his interest in Western Penn sylvania affairs. "But Mr. Blaine never in tended to go personally to the library open ing," said Congressman Bayne, "and above all he was not prevented from coming by any alleged misunderstanding with the Dnquesne Club as sonre of the papers al lege." Surprises at Dinner. Lunch had been served at 2 P. M. and dinner at 6. Both meals were alike, and the railroad company had spared no expense in filling the larder. H. N. Valentine, chef, and Amos Wheeler, steward, oi Balti more, had charge of the kitchen. A huge basket of Baltimore flowers oc cupied the center of the table. The President demonstrated a decided taste for English lamb chops done up in Spanish style and for terrapin croquets. Turkey was tne principal dish for dinner. Andrew Carnegie surprised the President by declin ing cigars. He has never used tobacco in any shape or form. Both Mr. Carnegie and His Excellency were surprised by the number of cigars which the venerable Enoch Pratt smoked after each meal. He has used the weed all his life, and he is now remarkably active at 82 years. Mr. Pratt is the venerable gentleman who eight years ago presented the city of Baltimore with a free library worth many hundreds of thousands. Carnegie con sulted him with regard to his own, and now he is the Pittsburg philanthropist's guest as a matter of necessity, for what aged Enoch Pratt don't know about public libraries is not worth knowing. "Mr. Carnegie took my example in all but one thing," he said to me during the day. "He asks the city to pay so much a year to support the libraries. I did the rsame -with Baltimore, hut I bought the annuities myself. Of course Mr. Car negie's object is to get the people interested in the project by supporting it themselves. It is a good aim. My library in Baltimore is on the branch system as Mr. Carnegie proposes for Pitts burg. After the lapse of eight years I am prepared to say that system is a success. Last year my library and its branches gave out 400,000 volumes. Pittsburg has a won derfnl future opening out before her through this man Carnegie." The President at Whist. Colonel Bayne confessed to having cards on his person. The gray and iron-gray tinges the hair of everv member of the dis tinguished party aboard. A rubber or two of whist is called a solace for old age. And so the whist table was irresistible yesterday. Mr. Carnegie superintended the erection of the table as the train touched the Pennsyl vania State line, and Colonel Bayne blew the dust off his cards. Prof. S. P. Langley is an astronomer and never learned to play whist So he and Mr. Dalzell talked quietly about new legis lation fortbe Smithsonian Institution, while President Harrison, Mr. Carnegie, Col onel Bayne and Mr. Pratt played whist for an hour. The President won fewer games than all. Colonel Bayne and Mr. Carnegie proved themselves adeots, and "gathered in the honors. After 'the President gave it, up in disgust and went off to lie down awhile, Mr. Dalzell took his place, but Mr. Dalzell was beaten too. ' At Cumberland a Pittsburg crew took charge of the train, viz.: N. Darr, engineer; W. H. Payne, fireman; J. D. Devine, con ductor; W. F. Debert, brakeman. Down tlio Western Slope. At Meyersdale, Garrett and Eockwood large crowds were at the stations, but the train whirled through at the rate of 30 miles an hour, and only the flying sound of the cheers was heard. A few minutes' stop was made at Connells ville where abrass band and abuge concourse of people had assembled. The party was at dinner at that moment, but General Har rison went to the rear door in his bare head, and with napkin still in hand, and bowed to the crowd. No other stop was made, although at West Newton and McKeesport both, throngs cheered in the rain as the engine pulled by. At last the train stopped at Bessemer sta tion. Hal f a dozen steel workers clambered upon the platform, and breaking in the door called: "We want to see Mr. Carnegie and the President 1" , "That shows whose country we are in," laughed the President, "when Mr. Carnegie is asked for first" And here the party was taken charge of bv the Allegheny Library Commission and the Pittsburg reporters.

PITTSBURG, THURSDAY, DEMOCRATS PE0TEST Against tne Manner in WhichOontest Cases Are Conducted. THE EEPORT OP THE MINORITY On the West Tirginia District Now Under Consideration. DEBATE UPON THE WORLD'S FAIR BILL The Kick of the Southern Colored EtpnMIeans Has Borne Effect The Democratic members of the House Committee on Elections have prepared a lengthy minority report upon the Atkinson Pendleton contest They claim to have been refused access to the information of the majority, bnt endeavor to show that the Democrat was honestly elected. A great number of members wish to discuss the World's Fair biU. FBOK A STAFF CORHESPOMJE ST. Washington', February 19. Hitherto in preceding Congresses it has been the practice of the majority of the House Com mittee on Elections to prepare their report on a case and then snbmitit to the minority, and let them base their report upon it During this Congress, however, the majority simply present a resolution embodying their decision, and present their report to the House on the day set for consideration of the particular case iu hand. Bepresentative O'Ferrall has, however, submitted the minority report in the Atkinson-Pendleton case, Second West Virginia district His report states that as the Be publicans had concealed from the commit tee the grounds of their action, the Demo crats, 'not knowing how the -majority pro posed to explain their reversal of the elec tion officers' verdict, would simply proceed to demonstrate that Pendleton was elected. ILLEGAL VOTES. As the record of the case was very volu minous, covering 1,500 printed pages, the labor of prepaiingthe report was consider able. Adopting the rule applied in the Smith-Jackson case the minority find there were 28 illegal votes cast lor Pendleton and 54 for Atkinson. These votes are declared illegal upon the strongest evidence. In ad dition to these the minority question 11 votes that seemed to have been cast by Dem ocrats and.20 that seemed to have been cast by Republicans, but as the proof of illegal ity does not come within the rule established by the Bepublicans in. the Smith-Jackson case they are not excluded. The minority make the point against the Bepublicans that with the fluctuation of politics so common to this country, it would be dangerous to hold that a man who was a Democrat or Bepublican in 1884, held to the same party in J888; that in the cam paign of 1888 a new issue was presented which to some extent recast party lines and induced many former Bepublicans to vote the Democratic ticket X TECHNICAL OBJECTION. In regard to Atkinson's charge that 35 votes cast for Pendleton in Holly district, of Braxton county, should be rejected be cause the County Court in 1874 changed the boundaries of tho voting precincts and that the voters objected to cast their ballots ip vmnir rn-(iJtiH thi. n.innrifcv finrl ihftt tbft objection1- is purely technical; that these voters had cast their ballots for many years in Holly district, and never before had their legality been questioned. Hence it is held that these votes should be counted, as it is admitted they were cast in good faith by legally qualified voters. As to the 73 votes cast for Atkinson at Wells burg, Brooke county, which Pendleton claims shonld be rejected as illegal, the minority find, first, that it was another case of confusion of precinct lines, and the voters believed they were voting in their proper precincts, and that it would be unjust to re ject these votes. The basis of the whole case is the Wetzel county recount with the details of which the readers of The Dispatch are ac quainted. Atkinson charged that the bal lots were scratched and changed after the election, and that the gain for Pendleton was accomplished by fraud. CHARGES OP PEATJD DENIED. The report states that the election officers testified that they did not make any mis takes. The Democrats then carefully an alyzed the case to determine whether or not there was any fraud. Two precincts of Wetzel county are involved Martin's schoolhouse and Archer's Fork. The minority enter upon a long argument to demonstrate that there was no fraud; that the count of votes at Martin's schoolhouse was long and tedious, lasting 30 hours, dur ing which time the judges and olerks had very little, if any, sleep. When the ballots were recounted it was found that there were 14 in which Atkinson's name was scratched. It was apparent that the scratches were not made by the same persons. The minority find that the mistakes made were uninten tional, and resulted from bad lights, feeble eyesight and the tedioug,delay. At Archer's Fork the recount showed 10 scratched ballots and the same arguments are used to account for them." It is upon the vote in these two precincts that the case turns. The Bepublican majority in their report claim that these ballots were scratched after the first count for fraudulent purposes, while the Democrats argue that, from tho conditions under which the count was made and the extreme old age of the judges, it is not surprising that the mistakes were made. The case will conwup in the House on next Wednesday. ' Lightneb. WHITE HOUSE PROTECTION. Additional Precaution! Are to be Takan to Prevent a Conflagration, tntoir a btajt cobbespoxdent.i Washington, February 19. The ter rible result of the 'fire at Secretary -Tracy's residence has caused an investigation of the White HbuseJ doubtless at the instance of President Harrison, and it is found that in the condition of f he house and the appliances for fire alarms and extinguishing fire -there would be little hope for the occupants should the flames get a start while those within are asleep. Colonel O. H. Ernst, who, as commissioner of publio buildings and grounds, is the custodian of the Execu tive Mansion, has realized that even with all the precautions against fire that he can take there is still some danger, from the fact that the building is not fire proof and is very old. The house is now provided with almost everything that has been invented in the way of fire checks a staad pipe in the cel lar, a tank on the roof, a number of ex tinguishers and quite collection of hand grenades, besides a corps of vigilant watoh men, who make frequent rounds during both day and night, alert for the slightest indication of fire. But there is one thing that is unsatisfac tory, and that is the fact that the nearest city fire alarm box is in the Treasury build ing. In case of a fire at night it would be necessary for the watchman to run across the grounds, up the steps to the Treasury door and there await the pleasure of the man in side for admittance, a process consuming several minutes of very valuable time while the flames would be making disastrous bead, way. Accordingly Colonel Ernst has de cided to take steps toward the establish ment of an elaborate system of alarm in side the house in order to save wy teeead in case of a fire. FEBRUARY 20, 1890. PLENTY OF PEOMISES. An Effort Betas Made to Stop the Colored Break In (be South Congressman Cheatham Is Accosed of Treachery o nii Bace. tTEOM A STAFT COKRZSFOXDINT.1 Washington, February 19. The kick made by North Carolina colored men who want office, several times referred to in these telegramB, has had a practical result in suspending, at least temporarily, the con firmations of several white gentlemen nom inated for some of the best offices in the Tar Heel State. Of these Collector Eaves, of the Fifth Internal Eevenue district; Post master Shaffer, of Baleigb, with Logue Harris and Dr. Mott, two of the white Be pnblican bosses, have already arrived in response to the notes of alarm, and others are expected within a day or two. They are very timid in discussing the subject of the revolt of the blacks, and are very desir ous of smoothing the race war over with a compromise In the form of a gift of a few more offices to the colored people. ' The trouble is, there are not many more to give, and the good ones yet to be given are wanted badly by white men who can com mand Influence. Collector Eaves has al ready announced to the colored kickers the appointment of one colored messenger at $75" a month. As there are 307 Government ap pointments in the Collector's district, and of. these white men hold positions whose sal aries aggregate over $75,000 a vear, the col ored men are. not greatly elated by the Col lector's generosity. Postmaster Shaffer has not appointed a single colored man to office in bis building, and he, always unpopular with that class, is now in worse odor than ever. Hon. J. H. Williamson, the colored man who is leading the revolt, says the published report that of the 730 Government offices in the State negroes hold 30, is n mistake, as they hold but 15, and their aggregate sal aries amount to about $4,000. Mr. William son intimates that Congressman Cheatham, is secretly playing traitor to his own race, like other colored men who have been pushed forward to high position, and de clares that if something be not soon done to recognize the colored people the party or ganization will be disbanded, not only in North Carolina, but throughout the whole South. THE WORLD'S FAIR DEBATE. It Will be Necessary to Hold a Night Sec Ion far Discussion. Washington, February 19. So many members desire to participate in the speech making upon the World's Fair that it has been found necessary to make provision for a night session to-morrow, in order that all who wish to speak may have the opportun ity to do so. Mr. Candler, the Chairman of the World's Fair Committee, will retain charge si the debate, and will open the pro ceedings, pe is uncommitted to any one of the four cities, but is heartily in sympa pathy with the general project,' and his opening speech, which will last about an hour, Will be devoted to ad explanation of the-provisions of the bill, and to an explana tion of the strong reasons which, In his opin ion, make the holding of a fair in 1892 de sirable. Mr. Flower will open the debate for New York in a 20-minute speech, and will be fol lowed by Mr. Hilt in behalf of Chicago. It has not been determined whether Mr, Hatch or Mr. Frank will make the opening speech in advocacy of the claims of St Lours. Washington, which has the last say, will have Mr. Wilson, of West Vir gima, as her orator. The opening speeches wlfJvg"nerally" consume about 20 minutes, and about five minutes each will be allotted to the other speakers. On Friday, each oily will have half an hour to close up Its case, the order of speak ing to be the same as on the previous-day. PAGE B0XS IN THE. HOUSE Organize a Congress of Their Own With a Fnll Set of Officers. Washington, February 19. The boys who act as pages in the House have formed what they call the "House of Representa tives, Jr." It was duly organized by the election of a Speaker and other officers the other day. At a recent session of this body a bill was introduced which is a pretty hard hit at Bepresentative Pendleton, who is ex pected to be compelled iiext Wednesday to give up his seat to Mr. Atkinson, of West Virginia. Mr. Pendleton is personally quite small and thin, with a boyish face, and is not taller than several of the pages who now wait upon him. The bill which was introduced in the "House of Represen tatives, Jr.," provides that when Mr. Pen dleton is retired as a member of the House, Speaker Beed shall appoint him to a posi tion as a page. Those of the members who have heard of this have been enjoying the joke at Mr. Pendleton's expense hugely, and are making that gentleman's life a burden to him by continual reference to his future position as a page of the House. THE STRUGGLE ENDED. A Compromise Effected and the Long Dead Lock In the Iowa Legislators Broken A Democratic Speaker Chosen , After 137 Ballots. Des Moines, February 19. The Demo cratic canens this morning agreed to, accept the Republican proposition for a compro mise. When this announcement was made the House chamber was the scene of great activity. TJp to date, in five weeks and three days' sessions, 91 ballots have been taken on temporary clerk and 136 on Speaker. The House was called to order again at 4, and on motion ot Welden ad journment was taken till 7:30. The Bepub licans went into caucus at once to nominate persons to fill ithe vaoancies on the ticket and determine what committees they wonld have. ' At the. evening session of the House, on the 137th roll call, Hamilton (Democrat) was unanimously elected Speaker. Chut ley, of Mills, and Johnston, of Dubuque, members, Who were in the deadlock of 1874, were appointed a committee to .escort the permanent Speaker to the chair. The oath of office was administered by Hotchkiss and after a few remarks Hamilton assumed the duties of the office. The remainder of the officers were then chosen. NOT THE MYSTERIOUS DRITER. Two Witnesses Fall to Identify Kellr as the 1'nmons Cronln Suspect. Chicago, February 19. J. B. Kelly, the book canvasser arrested in St Louis, charged with complicity in the Cronin tragedy, arrived in Chicago to-night and was at once brought by his captors to police headquarters. Mrs. Conklin and Frank Scanlan. who saw the person with whom Dr. Cronin drove away the night of May 4, were promptly given a look at Kelly. Both failed to identify the St Louis man as the driver of the celebrated white horse. Scanlan declared himself positive that Kelly was not tho man. The detectives appeared crestfallen. The qnestion of whether Kelly might not be the mysterious "Slinonds," the man supposed to have pur chased furniture for the Carlson cottage, was then taken up. Mrs. Conklin, and voung Scanlan say Kelly's general resemblance to the driver of the white horse is not very wide or the mark, except the eyes, which were different altogether. Kelly will be brought before others in the morning to see If they can identify hia. - ANXIETY IN GERMANY General Elections for Members of Parliament Occur To-day.

Great interest is manifested as to the re sult of the German elections to-day. The Socialists appear confident that they will make large gains. A combination may be formed which will defeat the Government CBT CABLE TO TBI DtSFATCn.J Berlin, February 19. The elections for the new Reichstag, which are to be held to morrow, present a puzzling situation, which will keep the Government in suspense until the final returns are all in. The Socialists to-day express the greatest confidence in their ability to secure the 12 additional seats besides those which they held in the last Beichstag. This number, added to the votes which they formerly controlled, will almost suffice to deprive the Government party of its already small majority, and to give to the opposition full swing in the next Parlia ment. The Liberals also hope to capture some of the Government seats. The result cannot be khown until the second ballots are taken and will be ultimately decided by these. Although there is no formal agreement among1 the various sections of the opposi tion, there is, nevertheless, a tacit under standing that they shall assist each other against the Government candidates. There fore, in many cases in which a second ballot will be necessarya combination of the op position factions is sure to result In. defeat for the Government A meeting in the in terest of Herr Doerr, a workman who Is a 'candidate for election to the Beichstag, was held at Blngen to-day. Among the speakers was Herr Joest, a Socialist leader. In the course of his address he declared that the restoration of Alsace-Lorraine to France was necessary. He also said that the personal qualities of the French were incomparably superior to those of the Ger mans. French workmen, he declared, were the brothers of the German workmen, while the German bourgeoise were their enemies. An extra force of police is on duty in all the principal thoroughfares to-night, in con sequence of the apprehension of disorders due to the elections. RUSSIA IS IRRITATED. Sadden Demand tor a Large Sum From Bulgaria on an Old Claim. Sofia, February 19. Russia has de manded of the Government of Bulgaria the payment of 3,000,000 roubles, arrears of money due on account -of the Russian occu pation during 1878 and 1879. The demand .is in part related to the consolidation under one Government of Bulgaria and Eastern Boumelia. By thfrtreafyef Berlin, July, 1878, ifwas provided that Bussia, whose armies had just conquered for these countries their free dom from the Ottoman Dominion, should maiutain a military occupation of Eastern Boumelia for nine months. The object of this was to guarantee the tranquility of the country, it being appre hended that .between the Turkish authorities left in partial control and the long oppressed population, inspired by their partial freedom, there would be murderous conflicts it the con quering armies were withdrawn before the respective, elements had accus tomed themselves to their new relations. As is usual in such cases, the expense of maintaining the troops was to be assessed upon the province. Bussia has never pressed this debt, but de mands the arrears now, apparently under a sense of irritation. BISHAECK'S vABDICATION. He Is Preparing to Stove His Personal Effects From the Palace. BEBLiN,February 19. The Freisinninge Zeitung says that Prince Bismarck has or dered an inventory to be made of his per sonal effects in the palace or ministerial res idence in the Wilhelmstrasse, in view of his resignation and retirement The semi-official papers continue in their comments to indicate Herr Boetticher as the Prince's suc cessor, and to refer to him in terms of high commendation. , The Eamburger tfachrlchten admits that there was a difference of opinion between the Emperor and Prince Bismarck before the imperial rescripts were published, but says that a compromise was reached later and that the policy of the Emperor was modified in consequence.

A Complication Likely to Grow Oat ot Mrs. "Upptncotl's Forgeries Her Foster Slater Is Beggared br the Ex- tensive Peculations. tsrsciii. nuaxuc to tux disfatcb-I Philadelphia, February 19. Edwin Lippincott, proprietor of the faihionable Hotel Haddon, at Atlantic City, whose wife is a fugitive after having raised over $100, 000 by forgery and theft, came to this oity this morning, accompanied by Mrs. Haines, his wife's foster sister, and, except her own husband, her chief victim. Mr. Lippincott and Mrs. Haines held a long consultation with their counsel, F. F. Brightley. In his conversation with his counsel to-day Mr. Lippincott said that he did not intend to allow the statement of Colonel George H. North, the stock broker, to go unanswered. "In the tin box in. the Guarantee Trust and Safe Deposit Company," said Mr. Brightley, "we found a large number or re ceipts for margin stock bought by Mrs. Lippincott, Among these receipts were a number from George H,, North, represent ing $15,000 paid between-1881 and 1883. We also found a statement from Mr. North, dated 1884, which shows that Mrs, Lippin cott's transactions with him amounted to upward of $100,000. Mr. Lippincott has also discovered this morning that another ple,ce of his property in Atlantic uity nas been neavuy mort gaeed by his wife. Mrs. Haines is left without anything by the defalcation of her foster sister, and has nothing in the world except her property in Medford, which is, by the forgery, heavily mortgaged. The courts have repeatedly decided that a broker who speculates for a married woman without her husband's consent is liable for all losses. This fact may cause Colonel North some trouble. All the time that General Hartranft was Major General of the National Guard North was his Adjutant General. There is not a shadow of a doubt that every cent secured by her forgeries and false representations was swallowed up in stock gambling. Mrs. Lippincott hardly ever spent any money on herself.

To-night in company with Coloifel O'Neill, Thomas Watt, Passenger Agent of the Pittsburg Division of the Pennsylvania Railroad, he came to Indiana. A large number of the Bepublicans here are opposed to Delamater and rather favorably inclined to the nomination of Hastings, and they gave the latter a right royal welcome a few weeks ago, but to-night Major Montooth was given an ovation. Ex-Senator Hood, in company with many prominent citizens, met the gallant war veteran on his arrival to-night. The Cosmopolitan Club tendered him a reception, and all the leading Bepub JicanSof the town and surrounding country were there to see blm. The Major made one of his happiest speeches and many new friends at the same time.

Tha question of 'the revision of the confession of faith which has for two months agitated the Presbyterians of this city is not yet settled. At the next meeting of the Phila delphia Presbytery a paper equivalent to an amendment will be presented by a number in favor of revision, which will most proba bly cause a lively discussion. Bev. Dr. Henry McCook, the leader of the revisionists, to-day said: "The next meeting of the Presbytery promises to be an unusually interesting' one. First of all there is Lawyer George Junkin,'s resolution requesting that the clerk be instructed to state to the General Assembly that they transcended their power in sending down such an overture to tbs Presbytenesv'" ONE OP THE PEAXUBE3. On being asked what he thought Of the resolution he said: '1 think Mr. Junkin has no point and do not believe that It will be entertained or discussed, or that the Presbytery will stultify itself by declaring that the General Assembly had no right to send down such an overture' after discussing it for nearly three months. The resolution is ex-post facto." "I think," continued Dr. McCook, "in effort will be made to reopen the question of revision. I do not think that there will ba any effort made on the original resolutions. I have understood that some persons have been thinking and talking of introducing a new resolution, or, in other words, some modification of Dr. Dickey's paper. If it is wisely framed I believe that it will be car ried. "Revision will come. It is bound to, no matter what the action of the Philadelphia Presbyteries may be. Their vote comes too late. I believe that revision will be pro posed in some form by at least two-thirds of the Presbyteries throughout the country. ' A NEW PBOPOSITION. "The General Assembly will frame or form anew overture, which will be handed down to the Presbyteries for discussion and official action, and if enough votes are obtained on such amendment it will then become a part of the church symbol. As to myself, X think I have been very moderate in my de mand for revision'. All I objected to were the articles on reprobation and, elect in fants." "We wOnTd," said Dr. McCook, "have carried revision were ft not for Dr. Dickey's amendment" Rev. Dr.. McCook said the resolution passed by 'the Presbytery of Philadelphia Central, which has never been published, is equivalent to a call for an amendment or a declaratory statement. Rev. Dr. Agnew, who drew up the resolution for the Central Presbytery, this evening said: "What I objected to was that any one Presbytery should have the power ot final action in re gard to the question. I believe when there is a change to be made it should be done by an ecumenical council of all the reformed churches. The resolntions have never been published in any of the papers."
