HIST OIHEE QtlKEST JIK5 SEP TOGETHER
The fourth annual banquet of the Ameri
cus Club, in commemoration of General
Grant's birthday, was held at the Seventh
Avenue Hotel last' evening. The chief
features were the presence at the same table
of the rival candidates for Governor, and
tbe oratorical efforts of Speaker Reed and
rirst Assistant Postmaster General Clark-
eon.
GREAT men
make great occa
sions. It was not
any wonder, there
fore, that the
fourth annual ban--quet
of tne Amer
icus Club in honor
of Grant's birth
day, at tbe Seventh
Avenue Hotel last evening, was the greatest
of them all, the crowning effort up to date.
President Harrison and the grizzled Sena
tor from Ohio were not there, but there was
an oratorical champion from the Xankee
State, of Maine and one from the level
plains oi Iowa to take their places.
Around these two National figures. Reed
and Clarkson, centered most of the
interest in the banquet. The food
and drink were good and fair, but the
physical feature was not a marker to
the intellectual treat that followed. Much
of tbe political astuteness and acuteness of'
the Republican party was represented by
the Speaker of the House, the National
Chairman and the First Assistant Post
master General, and the ears of the nation
listening earnestly for what these men might
say only added to the intensity of the situa
tion. One Great (subject of Regret.
The fiery McComas, of Maryland, was not
there, having been detained by a previous
engagement in Phila
delphia, and his ab
sence was the one sub
ject of regret But with
it all, Speaker Reed
was the lion of the
night, and all the pent
up enthusiasm of the
boys present gave way
like the breaking of a
milldam, when he rose
to speak. His tall form Speaker Jteed. Lion
towered above the ta- of the Evening.
bles, and with sarcastic gravity he delivered
the speech of the evening.
It is not often that so many nnd
such strong political characters are brought
together on one occasion as gathered aronnd
the festive board at the Seventh Avenue
Hotel last night Men of national and
State reputation were there, and though
many of them are at swords' points in daily
life, all their political ambitions were laid
aside for the time being, and, like the lion
and the lamb, they sat down at one table
and tupped in peace. There were candi
dates for the Presidency as well as aspirants
for Governorship honors.
A Tory Rare Event.
The Americus Club is exceedingly fortu
nate in the selection of a patron saint It is
not every banquet
that has the memory of
as great a soldier as
Grant to inspire its
orators with burning
eloquence. 'lis a beau
tiful custom to thus
perpetuate the same
of the American hero,
and a more patriotic
club could not have
been selected for this
purpose, but since
President TT.-..u
O0;?fOnT"''made hi mous
the first Speaker. . , -.
r speech, two years ago,
which practically nominated him lor the
Presidency, the club has assumed national
political importance that cannot be dis
counted, ana has earned for itself the sobri
quet of "the President maker."
The objective point was the guests' table
where the visitors were arranged on the
right and left of President Harry Paul,
and opposite him. On his right appeared
the'massive frame and large head of Speaker
Reed. He was arrayed in the customary
spike-tail, and his shirt front was im
maculate. The old sarcastic smile
played around his mouth. He wore a
red rose in the lapel of his coat,
and this was his only ornament His white
necktie was pulled awry, but that was only
an indication that he had been at work and
was ready for more of it.
Notablei Elbowing Each Otber.
Next to the Speaker, on his right, came
Colonel Bayne and Attorney General Kirk
Patrick. On the left of President Paul sat
the newspaper orator of the evening, James
8. Clarkson, of Iowa, now thePirst Assist
ant Postmaster General. Senator Matthew
Stanley Quay, his colleague on the National
Committee, sat adjacent to him. The two
chatted together during most of the evening,
'except when the national chairman, at one
.stage of the game, got tired of eating -and re
hired, tor rest, The chairman didn't look

worried or as it he intended to resign be
cause of the attacks recently made on him.
Governor Thomas, of Utah, sat at the end
of the guests' table. On his right was
Robert W, Taylor, of New York, and on his
left appeared the sad, serious face of Lien
tenant Governor Davies. He occasionally
sipped a little wine, bnt the kind old man
acted as if he wasn't well. Governor
Beaver occupied a seat close to Mr. Clark
son, and they occasionally exchanged re
marks. Speaker Boyer was assigned a place be
tween Senator Delamater and General Os
borne, two rival candidates for Governor,
but the Philadelphian was absent, and only
a chair seoarated the political aspirants.
However, that was sufficient They didn't
claw each other, but both came away intact.
The Crawford Senator's Glasses.
Senator Delamater spent a good part of
the time talking to Colonel J. M. Schoon-
maker, and he occasion
ally turned to the Gen
eral. The young Mead
rille man now wears eye
glasses almost constantly,
which gives him some
xhat of a dudish ap
pearance. General Hastings, Sec
retary of the Common
wealth Stone, and Major
E. A. Montooth sat side
by side. These
three Toaslmaster John
joked and laughed and Dalzell.
enjoyed the occasion exceedingly. Mr.
Stone is usually a very quiet man. hut he
indulged in several sallies of wit with Colo-
nel Bayne, who sat across the table.
Congressman Dalzell was lost between
the tall forms of Colonel Schoonmaker-and
General Hastings. The doughty Congress
man was alL there just the same, and
diagonally across from him sat his fighting
enemy, Senator Qnay. No word passed
between them, and tbe Senator was meek
and modest in his manner. Superintendent
Pitcairn occupied a chair near the speakers'
table, and there was not a more earnest
listener to the speeches in the house
than he.
It is seldom that so many discordant ele
ments in a party are brought face to face,
and tbe Americus Club realize that great
events yet to come in the political world
can be traced directly for their inception to
this dinner.
A Reception nt the Hotel.
Previous to the banquet a public recep
tion was held in the parlors qf the hotel.
All the banqueters ap
peared in full dress,
and the picture pre
&
sented of so many
handsome men collect
ed at one time was cal
culated to break the
average woman's
heart Most of the
boys knew Reed and
Clarkson, having met
them at other times:

willing hands to introduce tbem. All for
mality was laid aside, and the best feeling
prevailed. Party politics entered not into
the discussions, and the reception accorded
Senator Quay made him feel good at this
particular time.
Promptly at 7:30 o'clock President Harry
S. Paul banged his gavel on a table, and re
quested the guests to form into line. To the
music of a pleasant march by the Grand
Army Orchestra, they filed into the banquet
hall, and some time was spent in seating the
guests. Alter a short prayer was offered the
substantial part of the feast was tackled.
What There Wm ta Em.
The feast was in mine host "Wilson's hap
piest vein, and no guest could partake with
out saying, when tbe toothpicks passed, as
did the famous epicure, Sydney Smith, on a
like occasion;

obverse page which first struck the
eye when the guest surveyed the miniat
ure "tented field" on the banquet tables,
was an exquisitely engraved steel plate with
a club banner in the foreground bearing
the streamer "Americus Republican Club,
Pittsburg, 1881." The cords and silken
fringe are clearly worked out, and by the
adjustment of lights and shades, the simu
lation of white silk is perfect. At the top
is the sentence: "fourth Annual Dinner,"
and on the right hand side of the banner
the device: "The Sixty-eighth Anniversary
of General U. S. Grant's Bitb," at the cor
ner is the title of the hostelry: "Seventh
Avenue Hotel," with the date. The letters
are skeletonized and shaded in the most
delicate manner imaginable, and the plate
is a handsome piece ol work. The tent cord
holding together the four leaves is ribbed
with silt, and Is in the national colors. The
tent flap bears the monogram, "A. R. C,"
in sold.
Tbe Music nnd Decorations.
TVhile the dessert was being served, a few
minutes before the lingual programme was
begun, the band played a medley of national
airs. To several of the best known, particu
larly "The Star Spangled Banner" and
"America," the diners united in a hearty
chorns, making the room ring with the
patriotic words.
The floral decorations were furnished by
Patterson. "They were elaborate in the ex
treme. With great nicety Mr. Patterson
had scattered 2,000 hybrid roses over the
tables, and he arranged large tropical
plants in the corners of the
room and in the corridors
outside. Long strings of spruce
were stretched between the pillars, and vied
lor prestige with the red. while and Mn
I streamers of bunting that decorated the
walls and ceilings. The orchestra, as usual,
fiuvcu veuiuu a screen or ongnt green
leaves, and they gave the boys plenty of
musical varieties.
There was one song, "Little Annie Roo
ney," the pretty air of which caught the
crowd, and when the musicians in a medley
came to it the guests joined with them. The
big audience room rang with the melody,
and even Matthew Stanley was observed to
hum the tune, in a quiet way.

Seldom Heard at a Banquet.
At 9:30 o'clock, tbe ice cream and coffee
having been properly inspected, President
Harry Paul arose from his seat and rapped
very energetically upon the white table
cover with the handle of one of Mr. Willson's
knives. "When quiet was secured, he said:
"The time has come when the oratorical
feast of the evening should begin, and I will
introduce to you the Hon. John Dalzell, the
toastmaster of the evening."
As Congressman Dalzell arose from his
seat, immediately across the table from
President Paul, he was sainted with t,
most emphatic clapping of hands and a
number of cheers. The applause increased
in volume until one enthusiastic gentleman,
standing upon his feet, yelled: "What's the
matter with John Dalzell ?" From several
hundred mouths the answer came, "He's all
right" At this moment Senator Quay was
not in the room. Five minutes before he
had slipped out He returned later. Mr.
Dalzell briefly introduced Colonel Schoon
makpr, who said:
Mr. President, Gentlemen xonr gener
ous applause confuses me. It cannot be in
tended for me, for I havodono nothing to merit
the honor of response to the first toast on your
programme. It certainly is not because some
that we had hoped to havo with us are absent
There seems to me, therefore, but one solution
to the situation: that we share eqnallv the
honor. For my part, I am i ery greatf ul for
your kind expression of welcome, and on be
hatr of our "guests absent," first thanking you
in their name, l ask jour respectful attention
to tneir own words ol regret at not being with
us on this interesting occasion.
Colonel Schoonmaker then read the eUm
or regret, printed on another page of to-day's
Dispatch. '
A Bard Matter to Determine.
If applause be any measure of the regard
in which public men are held by the members
of the club, it would not have been a difficult
matter to tell last night whom the boys
liked the best. They listened very atten
tively to the letters read, and when the
names were called out all evoked more or
less hand clapping.
The first letter read was from Mrs. Grant.
and the name of the wife of the dead hero
was received with respectful applause.
President Harrison elloited some enthu
siasm, but the first great outbreak occurred
when John Sherman's reply to the invita
tion was given. McKinley also stirred up
much feeling, and the name of Colonel
Fred Grant was the signal for another
hearty outburst The letter of John "Wana
maker caused wild cheering, durinir which
Mr. Clarkson smiled appreciatively.
But during the reading of the messages of
regret, when Colonel Schoonmaker, holding
the telegram from ex-Governor Foraker.
reached the phrase, "The distinguished
speaker of tbe House of Representatives,"
there was the most glorious outburst of clap
ping and cheering of the evening. Speaker
Reed bo ired his head slightly and smiled.
The cheering and clapping was carried on,
and there were many cries of "Reed,"
Reed." Then came the cry, "What's the
matter with Reed?" "He's all right."
"Who's all right?" "Reed," "Reed."
The applause culminated in three hearty
cheers. The name of Foraker elicited yells

IBT OJLBLS TO TUB DISPATCH.!
London, April 26. Copyrighted.
The short-sighted statesmen and politicians
who a few weeks ago made light of the pro
jected May Day labor demonstrations now
see and admit their error, and they could
not well do otherwise, for the newspapers
published columns about it daily, and it
forms the subject of frequent Cabinet coun
cils and diplomatic inquiries. The powers
thatbe hope much from thelackof unanimity
among the workers, which, unhappily, ex
ists, but they themselves are equally in dis
cord. Here in London there will be no interfer
ence whatsoever with the demonstrators, and
the only measures of precaution will be the
keeping of troops in the barracks and the
police out of sight but within call in case
of emergency. In Austria, however, the
authorities, as indicated in the dispatch last
week, are bent upon a policy of exaspera
tion. HARSH MEASURES ALREADY.
Only the other day they gave the work
men inJGalecia a taste of their quality by
treating ordinary street brawls as organized
riots and shooting down unarmed and un
offending men and women. The Gover
nors of provinces have been publicly and
ostentatiously reminded of their powers of
proclaiming martial law and military
officers have been ordered to disregard the
merciful formality of firing blank cartridges
at mobs before resorting to bullets.
Everywhere the authorities are, so to
speak, shrieking out: "See how strong and
ready we are, and beware how yon provoke
us to use our quick firing rifles and our sharp
edged swords." The use of grape shot is
spoken of not obscurely, and in all large
towns regiments ot soldiers with bands
playing are marched up and down streets
in which such a spectacle has never been
seen before.
The object of these proceedings is clearly
intimidatory, but the workmen continue
serenely to make their arrangements for the
demonstration. In Hungary the authori
ties have been acting with much more dis
cretion, with the result that class bitterness
is less marked than in Austria.
A. MORE REASONABLE PLAN.
Some Government departments bare even
granted a 1st of May holiday, and if the
workmen comport themselves with reason
able prudence the day may pass without
trouble. In Germany the reactionary policy
has finally prevailed, and the employers,
following the example of the State depart
ments, will dismiss all men who abstain
from work on the 1st of May. In most of
the large towns outdoor meetings and pro
cessions have been prohibited. Troops are
to be held in readiness for action, but the
indoor meetings will not be interfered with,
and there has been no attempt, as in Aus
tria, at preliminary exasperation.
In France the 1st of May movement is
practically in the hands of the extreme
socialists, and if they should attempt to
carry out their programme their blood will
undoubtedly be shed. In Paris meetings
will be held in every available bnilding, at
which petitions demanding an eight-hour
day will be signed by the workmen, who will
afterward send delegations to the Chamber
of Deputies. Minister of the Interior Cons
tans has decided that these delegations will
be tantamount to a street procession, whiah
must be suppressed.
MINISTER CONSTANS DETERMINED.
Whatever the Socialists intend to do
Minister Constans means business. The
garrison of Paris, normally large, is to be
reinforced by three regiments from the
provinces, and arrangements have been
made whereby the troops at "Versailles,
Courbevole and St Germain will be able to
co-operate with those in the capital at short
notice. Nor does Constans believe in
hiding his hand. The troops and gendarmes
will occupy strategic points and will pre
vent access to all open spaces where crowds
migut gatner.
The situation is therefore really serious.
No one doubts that the Government will
prevail. Whether law and order shall be
vindicated in blood depends upon the So
cialists and anarchists, who are perverting
for their own purpose that which should
have been a useful industrial demonstration.
In Italy, Spain, and generally in the
smaller States of Europe the situation has
not materially changed lrom last week. In
this country, however, the state of affairs is
very different to what it was a week ago.
A SUNDAX DEMONSTRATION.
Trades unionism has conquered Social
ism, with the result that tbe demonstrations
will be held throughout the country on
Sunday, May 4, instead of Thursday
next The extremists may muster a
few thousands on May 1, but the great
demonstration will be on Sunday, and it will
be held under the auspices of the London
Trades Council. The matter was finally
settled Wednesday evening at a special
meeting of the council, and efforts to give a
Socialist tone to the resolutions to be sub
mitted to the great gathering in Hyde Park
utterly failed.
The only concession accorded the Social
ists was permission for the Social Demo
cratic Federation to have a platform to
itself, but at the other seven platforms the
speakers will be bona-fide workingmen.
The demonstration cannot fail to be a suc
cess, and there will not be less than 250,000
people in the park a week from to-morrow.

STANLEY IN ENGLAND.
Ills Trip From Dover to London One Con-
tlunoqa Ovntlon Ho ! Almost
Bored to Dentil Tho Meeting
With Ilia Pntronoin.
rnr cable to in dispatch.
London, April 28. Stanley arriyed in
England to-day, after an absence of nearly
three years. A special vestibule train, car
rying Lord Wolseley, Sir Francis De Win
ton, Consul General New, several lords, a
dozen generals, a score of baronets and
knights, 50 or CO press men and lots of other
people more or less notable, left London to
welcome the explorer as he set foot
on British soil. There was a tremendous
crowd at Dover, and when the special train
arrived the pier was so densely packed that
Stanley's friends had to fight their war
through. It was a case of the survival of
the fittest, and a good many tailed to reaoh
the goal. Even the Mayor of Dover, re
splendent in robes and chains oi office, was
buffeted about in an unseemly fashion, and
nearly found a watery grave in his own
harbor.
Stanlev, who arrived shortly before i
o'clock, had a fine passage from Ostend, and
tbe glorious weather should have put him in
good spirits, but he was grave and taciturn,
and neither sunshine or cheering thousands
served to pat him in good spirits. Possibly
the thought of lionizing and binqueting be
fore him made him sad. He had to listen to
a long-winded address by the Mayor and to"
submit to be photographed even before he
stepped ashore. He did not like either in
fliction, and took no pains to feign pleasure
at the commencement of his agony. Never
theless the good-natured people made allow
ances for the white-haired, prematurely-
aged man, and cheered lustily until the
tram was out of sight On the way to Lon
don Stanley's depression increased, and his
friends had to do most of the talking.
At Victoria station, London, preparations
usually confined to occasions when royalty
travels were made to do honor to Stanley.
The police had pushed and kicked the com
mon people out ot the station, and an in
cisure had been railed off on the platform.
Stanley was the first to step out of the sa
loon carlooking as though he would have
liked to ran away. An open carriage was
waiting, in which sat tbe Baroness Bnrdett
Coutts, tbe old millionairess who shocked
London some years ago by marrying a man
nearly 40 years her junior. The Baroness
has been for years Stanley's kindest friend
and patron. He might have been excused
had be ventured to kiss the old lady, and
none would have been surprised if he had
shaken her hand, bnt the bored hero did
neither. He had not seen his patron since
he set out in quest of Emln, but he simply
stepped wearily into the carriage, sat along
side the Baroness, tried bravely to smile,
muttered feebly "How-do-you-do," and
relapsed into silence. The people cheered
like mad, but Stanley simply moved his
hand in a languid, oriental manner, and so
continned until be reached his lodgings in
Kensington. Stanley deserves pity rather
than blame for his lack of enthusiasm, as he
said to our correspondent: "I am simply
bored to death," and yet the wretched man
has almost the whole of the London season
before him.
THE POLICY OP PAENELL.
Ireland Will Have Vso for tbe Few Goad
Landlords in the Near Future.
BT CAULK TO THE DIBFATCn.J
London, April 26. The Government is
much puzzled at Mr. Parnell's alternative
land scheme for Ireland, and in particular
cannot understand what they consider his
sudden Jdhrrw,' in tho welfare of landlords.
It has rashly assumed, however, that tho
Irish leader is not sincere, and thinks it can
cover him with confusion by agree
ing to 'embody part of his scheme in its
own bill. Mr. Parnell, however, while per
fectly willing to stake his refutation upon
the economical soundness and political ex
pediency of his policy, declines to have it
mutilated by hostile hands and then tacked
on to a measure of which he entirely disap
proves. His scheme must stand, he says,
upon its own merits or be thrown away, and
in this view the Irish leader is in perfect ac
cord with his, trusted lieutenants, wuiiam
O'Brien, John Dillon and Thomas Sexton,
and with the rank and file of his supporters.
Plainly and shortly put, Mr. Parnell says
that it is his desire to retain in Ireland the
few good landlords while banishing the
many bad ones. The battle against the evil
system of landlordism has been practically
won, he says, and Irish statesmen have now
to think of the immediate future, when Ire
land shall be a self-goyerning country, with
its legislative chamber, in which the best
class of land owners, shorn of most of their
broad acres and deprived of power for evil,
snail tase an nonoraDie place as representa
tives of the culture and social graces which
no Irishman desires to banish from his
country,

ens called.
ISmCIAI. TZLXOBAM TO THI DISPATCR.1
Washington, April 26. The policy of
the administration in trje South, so far as
the executive department is concerned, has
been at length definitelv announced by no
less a person than President Harrison him
self. The law, as at present conitrned, is to
be enforced if the whole power of the Fed
eral Government has to be called out to do
it The following significant correspond
ence was given to tbe public to-night:
Executive Mansion, April 21, 1S90.
To the Attorney General:
Sir I have bad frequent occasions, daring
the period ot tbe last six months, to confer
with you in reference to the obstructions oSered
in the counties of Leon, Gadsden, Madison and
Jefferson, in the State of Florida, to the execu
tion of the process of the courts of tbe United
States. It is not necessary to say more ot the
situation than that the officers of the United
States are not suffered freely to exercise their
lawful functions. This
CONDITION OP THINGS
cannot be loncer tolerated. You will, there
fore, instruct United States Marshal Weeks, as
soon as he has qualified, to proceed at once to
execute such writs of arrest as may be placed
in his hands. If be apprehends resistance be
will employ such civil posse as may
be adequate to discourage resistance
or to overcome it They should pro
ceed with tbe calmness and moderation
which should always attend a public officer in
the execution of bis duty, and at the same time
with a firmness and courage that will impress
tbe lawless with a wholesome sense ot the
range and futility of resistance. You will as
sure tbe officers of the law and those who have
foolishly and wickedly thought to set the law
at defiance that every resource lodged with the
Executive by tho Constitution and the laws, as
the necessity arises, will be employed to ren
der it safe and feasible to hold a Federal com
mission and to execute the duties it imposes.
Benjamin Harrison.
Department of Justice.
Kobert Weeks, TJ. 8. Marshal, Jacksonville, Tla.:
Sin tou have doubtless ere thii received
yonr commission as United States Marshal for
the Northern District of Florida. For several
months past it has been reported that In certain
counties in your district warrants of arrest is
sued by United States Courts have not been
executed because of resistance,
ACTUAL AND THREATENED,
by those sought to be arrested and their
partisans. This state of things cannot and will
not be longer tolerated. A letter from the
President, of which I inclose a copy, speasa lor
itself. You will at once proceed upon tbe lines
indicated in that letter and will report
promptly any attempts to interfere with yon
in the discharge of your duties. 1 am informed
that recently In some placescthe Marshal seek
ing to serve writs In ordinary civil cases has
been refused tbe ordinary accommodations,
such as horse hire, hotel entertainment, etc.,
to enable such service to bo performed. By
such means tbe officers of the Government can
be put to great inconvenience, but they cannot
and Will not be prevented from executing the
process of tbe court. Means can and will Da
fonnd for transporting and subsisting ihe Gov
ernment officers wherever it is necessary for
tbem to go in order to arrest and bring into
court offenders against the law.
W. H. H. Milxkr, Attorney General.
CHAOS UPON SILYEE.
The Caucus BUI Has Been Killed nod n
New Conference Will Be Held
Radical Differences la the
Republican Ranks.
Washington, April 26. At the caucus
of the Republican Senators on the silver
question this morning there was found to
be some disturbing elements, and the caucus
was adjonrned nntil 3 o'clock this afternoon,
when the Senators went into caucus again
and remained nntil 5:30. After adjourn
ment it was announced that the whole sub
ject had been again referred to the caucus
committee, who would endeavor to frame a
bill that should prove satisfactory to all.
The differences between the committees of
the House and Senate seem to be radical,
yet an earnest purpose was shown to har
monize, and, if possible, come to an agree
ment. The silvermen desire that tbe pro
vision in the bill reported by the caucus
committee, which gives the Secretary of the
Treasury discretion to redeem in bullion
the Treasury notes issued in payment for
bullion should the holder of the note de
mand it, shall be stricken out They do
not wish to give the Secretary the power
under any conditions to pay out bullion
after it has been once deposited in tho Treas
ury. This view of the silver men was sup
ported by Senator Erarts.
The silver men also desire to have the
notes provided tor in tbe bill made full
legal tender, but this is not insisted upon with
the same intensity and earnestness as is the
proposition to keep the bullion in the'
Treasury alter it has been deposited. A
majority of the Senators, however, are said
to be in favor of making the notes full legal
tender. Several propositions in tbe nature
of compromise were presented, but none of
them were acceptable, and, as stated, the
matter has gone back to the caucus com
mutes which will meet on Monday.
CLAIMS OP MIKA CLARK GAINES
At Last Receive Favorablo Attention From
the House Committee.
Washington, April 26. The House
Committee on Private Land Claims has
authorized a favorable report on a bill for
the relief of the heirs of Myra Clark Gaines.
A preamble to tbe bill recites that Myra
Clark Gaines, as the legal representative of
Daniel Clark, deceased, of Louisiana, was
entitled, by reason of Spanish grants, to
38,457 acres of land and that Mrs. Gaines,
while so entitled, died and left heir.
The bill provides therefore for the isssue
of patents to these heirs for all of these lands
which the Commissioner of the General Land
Office shall find to be vacant unappropri
ated and undisposed of Dy the united states,
which patents shall operate only as a relin
quishment oi title on the part of the United
States, or shall not impair or preclude any
adverse claimants from the right to assert
tbe validity of their claim.
For all the lands disposed of by the United
States or otherwise lawfully appropriated, it
is provided that there shall issue in lieu
thereof certificates of location of the charac
ter prescribed by the sixth section of the act
of Congress entitled, "An act for the final
adjustment of private land claims in
Elorida, Louisiana and Missouri."
30T. AS QUICK AS SEED,
The Sponker's vS.ubstltnte Found Great
Trouble In Counting; a Quorum.
Washington, April 26. SpeakerBeed's
substitute had a hard time in counting
qnornm. to-day in the House. On order-
1 ing the previous question on a bill so
quorum voted, and this point was seized by
Mr. Bynum, of Indiana. A count fail
ing to develop a quorum, a call
of the House was ordered. Only 101
members responded to their names.
The dreary scenes attending a call of the
House were then enacted"hile the Ser
geant at Arms was enzag the task of i
hunting up absentees. 7 " hours
consumed in this weary -. Qa ftlo T0
ceedings under tbe call yiezsZltlU O f.
ana tne qnestion recurred on o.'i ,r"
previous question. The vote stood w P-forr
and Mr. Bynum raised the point that ti
was no quorum present
The Speaker pro tem thereupon counted
the House, and announced that there were
167 members present more than a quorum.
Mr. Bynum thereupon demanded tellers,
and no qnornm voting, the yeas and nays
were ordered. The vote resulted, yeas 141.
nays 20. The Speaker counted Abbott,
Breckearidge, of Kentucky, Dehaven, JSn

declared the previous qnestion ordered.
ALL SEOTTO UNITE-
In tbe Establishment of a Protestant Uol
venltrot tbe Capital Tbe Method
lit Plan Aunraee Larger
Proportion.
irnoM A stavt connxsroiniMrr.
Washington, April 26. The initiative
taken by Bishop Hurst and other leading
clergymen of the Methodists looking to the
establishment of a national university has,
as it now appears, commended itself
to nearly all of tho denominations, and
tbe prospects are that the movement
will resolve itself into a general one of Prot
estant denominations, instead of one merely
of the Methodists. A committee has been
appointed to solicit funds in this city for the
purpose of purchasing 90 acres which have
been secured as the site, and the members of
that committee include practically all of the
Protestant clergymen of every denomination
having a hold in the city.
This harmonious action, it is anticipated,
will extend over the whole country, and re
anlt in tbe establishment of a great national
university, which will attract not only the
students of all Protestant sects, but also ot
the secular class, and lurnish a thorough
offset for the Catholic and Jesuit univer
sities already established. The union
of all denominations is a sur
prise to the general public, and,
it is said, was wholly uncontemplated in tbe
conception of the movement
There is now no aouDt lathe minds of any
that
all the money wanted will soon be
forthcoming. Washington will furnish the
$50,000 necessary for the purchase of the
site, and the rest of the world is expected to
build and endow the university.
JAILED WITHOUT A CHAEGB.
A Man Who Spent Seven Week In the
Tombs Without Cause.
rSMCIAI. TXXXOBAK TO THE DISFATCTC.1
New York, April 26. Judge O'Brien,
of the Supreme Court, terminated to-day
the imprisonment of John H. Buchanan,
who had begun to think he was to
spend an indefinite period in the
Tombs, although there was no charge
against him. Buchanan was arrested
on March 6, on complaint of his two sisters,
Deborah and Elisabeth, who said that he
had threatened 'them and that they feared
be would do them bodily injury. Police
Justice Power sent the case to
the General Sessions. In default oi
$500 bajl Buchanan went to the
Tombs while the papers In his case went to
Assistant District Attorney Lindsay. Mr.
Lindsay decided that no crime was charged
and that tne case was not one for tbe grand
jury. In the meantime Buchanan's sister
had visited him, relented and filed an affi
davit, in which they withdrew the com
plaint But Buchanan was still in jail when his
friends got Lawyer Wait to secure a writ of
habeas corpus. Assistant District Attorney
Grosse told Justice O'Brien that personally
he had no objection to the discharging of
the man, but expressed a desire to have the
legal technicalities settled. Judge O'Brien
said they could not be settled at the expense
of Buchanan's liberty and discharged him.
WANTS A VOTE OF THANKS.
Rear Admiral Walker Sends a Peculiar Pe
tition to Congress.
SPECIAL TELIORAX TO THS DISPATCH.
New Yoek, April 26. Bear Admiral
Henry Walker, United States Navy, (re-
i red), of South Brooklyn, has petitioned
Congress for a recognition of his services in
a vote of thanks. This he considers due him
as an act of justice. He reviews
his record and inquires if it is not
fully equal in merit and as fully entitled to
recognition as that of other officers oi the
navy who have received the thanks of
Congress for "eminent and conspicuous
conduct in battle or extraordlnry heroism."
He says he was in three or four times more
victorious battles, either as commanding
officer or as one of the principal partici
pants, and much longer under fire and in
the presence of the enemy on blockade duty,
with an inferior force under his command,
than a majority of those whom Congress has
recognized.
The cold type of history records the fact,
he sayi, that there are few officers in the
navy who served their country more readily,
faithfully, effctually during the war than
himself, and he complains that the merit of
some of his most valuable services either
have been totally ignored or ascribed to
other officers.
A PLUMBER IN TEOUBhE.
He Appropriated a Lot of WIno Throagh a
Hole In tho Wall.
rsrsciAi. telegram to thb dispatch.1
Steacdse, N. Y., April 26. The much
maligned plumber has turned np in a new
role here. W. B. Bissell, who keeps a
drugstore in the Elorence Block, on South
Saline street, had his attention attracted
to-day by a noise in the store cellar.
Upon going down he saw a bottle of
rhinewine disappearing through a hole in
the wall. He fixed his attention upon the
spot where the bottle had disappeared, and
was surprised to seethe arm and hand of a
man suddenly appear again and another
bottle disappear.
Mr. Bissell came out of the ce'lar and
went around on the other side of the wall
and there he found Stephen Beaney, who
had been working Mr. Bissell's wine
cellar for all it was worth. Heaney
is a plumber and was working on the
other side of the wall. He was captured
and was charged in the police court this
morning with grand larceny in stealing 14
bottles of elaret, and he was sentenced ac
cordingly. MARIE WAINWR1GHT ILL.

rSPSCIAI. TXLXOBAK TO THZ DISPATCH.!
St. Paui,, April 26. General Bnger, of
the Department of Dakota, TJ. S. A. re
ceived a letter from Major Carrol, of El.
Custer, Mont, stating that the Indians of
the Tongue Biver agency were greatly ex
cited over the expected appearance of a
Savior. This is a pecnliar case and pre
sents many strange but interesting features.
The accounts that can be gathered of this so
called coming of an Indian Christ are
very fragmentary, bnt the belief is thor
oughly grounded in the minds of the In
dians, and under the leadership of their
medicine men they have worked up quite a
religions revival, and are confidently
awaiting the appearance of their Savior.
Some time ago the Indian interpreter in the
Cheyeune and Arapahoe agency in the In
dian Territory, wrote in a personal letter to
the interpreter at the Tongue Biver agency,
saying:
THE INDIAN3 EXCITED.
"Cheyennes and Araphoes heTe are greatly
excited about a Christ coming in "among
some of the Northern tribes of Indians. The
Arapahoes have been getting letters from
Northern Arapahoes in regard to it My
friends here wish me to ask what there is
about it, and what do you know
about it? They sent two of their young
men to the Shoshone Agency in Idaho a
month and a half ago to find out all about
it, but those twohave not returned yet"
The Tongue river interpreter made an in
vestigation among the Indians there and
reports as follows: This Christ is in the
mountains. He wants all the Indians tc
come to him, when he will put them behind
him and, bavin? all the whites before him,
will roll the world over on them and destroy
them. He is a white man. The above hasi
been told by several Indians at the Shoshone
agency.
'In addition the Indians say that this
Christ showed some Indians scars, on his
hands and feet and a spear wound in his
side; that he wants all the Indians to come
their, giving up firearms and using only
bows and spears; that he is to roll the world
over on the whites in case they abuse the
Indians. Where this white man lives the
sun is verr close and the earth is so hot it
burns their feet No grass grows there.
AN OrriCEE APXEB HIM.
General Bugirsays that it is unlikely
this report originated from the teachings of
missionaries among the Indians, Which they
'have mixed with their mythology. The
Indian medicine men have all taken up the
new religion, and are making themselves
very popular. One of the difficult things
to explain, however, is the wide distribution
of the myth, which seems to have been
brought out independently at two places,
over a thousand miles apart, at the same
time.
In order to prevent trouble which might
arise from the white man pretending to be
the Christ going among the Indians and
making trouble. General Buger- has de
tailed Major Carroll, of Et Cnster, to pro
ceed to the Tongue Biver Agency and thor
oughly sift the matter it possible.
Busied His Victims la Sand.
Gainesville, Tex, April 2a J. D.
Morris was arrested near here to-day for the
murder of George Boberts and John Moss,
last Thursday evening. Morris shot and
killed the men, robbed the bodies, and then
buried them in a sand bank. The people in
the neighborhood of the tragedy heard the
shots and an investigation yesterday
morning resulted in finding the bodies.
