Uareisbukg, Jan. 19. Senator William
Flinn, ot Pittiburg, has received from D.
T. Watson and W. B. Rougers, the attor
neys, three important bills intended to over
come the difficulties into which Pittsburg
has been plunged by the decision of the Su
preme Court, declaring the street-improvement
laws unconstitutional. Mr. Flinn in
troduced one of these in the Senate to-night.
It is entitled "An act authorizing assess-,
meats and reassessments of the cost and ex
pense of local improvements already made,
including the damages caused by said im
provements, or in process of completion, and
providing for and regulating the collection
of the same." The bill reads:
The Text of the Measure.
Whereas, Local improvements of different
kinds in the grading, paving, macadamizing,
opening, widening, straightening and otherwise
improving streets, lanes, alleys and other high
ways, and also in the construction of sewers,
eidewalcs, curbstones and other improvements
have been made in various portions of the State
of Pennsylvania, and the cost thereof, includ
ing damages for the taking, injury or destruc
tion of private property in the making of such
improvements, has been or is to be assessed
upon the abutting property, or upon the prop
erty benefited; and,
Whereas, It is now doubtful whether the as
sessments so made to pay the cost, expense and
damaces of said improvements can be collected
wilder existing laws; and,
Whereas, The various municipal corpora
tions in this State having made, or now making
such improvements, are
Threatened With. Great Loss
unless said assessments can be collected, there
fore, be it enacted, eta, that all said municipal
authorities in this Commonwealth are Hereby
authorized to provide by ordinance for assess
ments or reassessments for the cost and ex
pense and damages of local improvements
heretofore made, or in process of being made,
or which have already been completed upon
the property benefited thereby, or uponfjthe
property atmtting or fronting on any said
streets, lanes, alleys,or other highways.or parts
thereof, where the said improvemests have
been completed or are being made.
The assessments or reassessments shall be
made by three viewers, who shall be appointed
bv the Court of Quarter Sessions or the re
spective counties upon the petition of said
municipal authority, or any one interested in
said improvements upon the property benefited
tliero the improvements were directed to be
made according to benefits, and shall be an
equal assessment on the property in proportion
to the number of feet tho Earns fronts on the
liighwajs where the improvement was directed
to be made by the foot lronta-c; bat the pro
visions of this act shall not apply to any case in
which a pavement, sewer or other municipal
improvement has been repaved, relaid or re
built. Notice ot the time, and place of making
said assessments orreassessments shall be given
to all the owners of the property that may be
effected by snch assessments or reassessments
by a publication in at least two newspaper, for
four insertions.
I'rotiding for Those Who Have Paid.
The bill then provides that assessments
wade by the iewers shall be payable 60
days after date of making the same, and for
the placing of municipal liens in default
both the assessments and lien shall be a first
lien upon the property: provided wherever
property has paid the whole or any part of
its share or the total cost of said improvement-!,
said property shall be given credit
for the amount thus naid on the assessments
and reassessments authorized by this act.
The second bill which Mr. Flinn has, will
be introduced in the House first. It is en
titled "An act providing for the ascertain
ment and collection of damages in any case
where heretofore prorierty has been taken or
injured or destroyed iu the construction of
auy local improvement." The bill reads:
Wherever any municipal corporation has
heretofore taken, injured or destroyed private
property in the making or construction of any
local improvement, the municipal corporation
or the private property owner whose property
may have been taken or injured or destroyed
shall have and is hereby given tho right to
apply to any Court of Common Pleas in the
county within v hich the property may be lo
cated, for the appointment of three viewers for
the ascertainment of the amount of damages,
ir any, so done in the makiug or construction
of such local improvements.
The Right of Appeal Given.
After providing the usual duties of the
three viewers, the bill continues:
Provided that either party shall have the
right or appeal to any Court of Common Fleas
cf the proper county within SO days after the
confirmation of report of said viewers, and
upon such appeal shall have the right to have
tlieamonn.of damages assessed by a juryao
cording to the courte of the common law, and
the damages so ascertained shall be assessed as
a part of the cost and expense of the property
benefited, and if property sufficiently benefited
to pay the damages so ascertained cannot be
found, the balance shall he paid by the municl
I alcorporation.
The above bill and the one Mr. Flinn in
troduced in the Senate are both applicable
in .ill cities in the State. If they should en
counter serious opposition, they will be fol
lowed by the third bill, which Messrs, Wat
sou and Rodgers haTe sent the Senator.
This bill relates only to Pittsburg and Alle
gheny as cities of the second class, and is in
conformity with the street act which the
Supreme Court declared constitutional a
year ago. It too, will be introduced first in
the House, and reads as follows:
The Bill for an Emergency.
An act providing for the ascertainment and
collection of any damages in any case where
heretofore property has been taken or injured
or destroyed iu the construction of any local
improvements in cities of the second class, and
wherever any city of the second class has here
tofore taken, injured ordestroyed private prop
erty In the construction of any local improve
ment in cities of the second class, the muni
cipal corporation or tho private Droperty owners
whose property may have been taken, or in
jured, or destroyed, shall and is hereby given
the right to apply to any Court of Common
Pleas in the county within which the property
may be located for the appointment of three
viewers or the ascertainment ot the amount of
damages, if any, so done in the making or con
struction of such improvements.
This bill then fixes the duties of the
viewers, and for a report by them, after
which it continues:
Provided that cither party shall bavothe
right ot appeal to any Court or Common Pleas
or the proper county within 30 days after the
filing or said report, and upon such appeal
shall have the right to have the amount of
damages assessed by a jury according to the
course of common law, and tho damages so as
certained shall be assessed as a part of the cost
and expense of the property benefited thereby,
and if property sufficiently benefited to pay tho
damages so ascertained cannot bo found that
the balance shall be paid by the city.

also been erected in front of the west portico
of the Capitol, where the inaugural cere
monies will take place.
Governor-elect Pattison and family ar

at the station by Governor Beaver and his
executive clerk, Major John Lockhart.
They were at once driven to the Executive
Mansion, where dinner was in waiting, This

Club, of this city, and the Commonwealth
Band serenaded the Governor-elect at the
Executive Mansion. He appeared and made
a brief speech, thanking the club for its

conclusion of the inaugural ceremonies.
TO INVESTIGATE THE TBEASTJBT.
Two Kesolutions In That Direction Intro
duced in the Senate.
trnoM a staff correspondent, i
Harbisbueg, Jan. 19. George Handy
Smith's resolution in the Senate to-night,
calling for the appointment of a commission
to investigate the State Treasuryjon account
of the losses suffered by the Treasurer
through recent bank failures, and Jack
Robinson's resolution calling for the ap
pointment of a commission to make
inquiries about the failures of private bank
ing institutions recently were both in the
same handwriting. It Is evidently a move
ment in concert. Senator Thompson, of
Dauphin, and a few other gentlemen op
posed the resolutions, but they were passed.
It is said by some to be the beginning of
a scheme to relieve the State Treasurer of
his heavy security, and have the Legislature
name the banks in which State funds are to
be placed hereafter. Certainly the source
from which the resolutions emanate does
not indicate that there is a s'uspicion of any
thing wrong about the Treasury Depart

burned that the flesh fell off in patches. Her
faceis terribly burned, the lips and nose to
a crisp. Mrs. Perman has sons and daugh

THEY MEAN TO FIGHT.
THE STJIT AGAINST THE PITTSBURG
REDUCTION COMPANY.
It Will Be Pushed by the Cowles Aluminum
Company President Cowles Comes Out
in n Statement of His Side f tho
Case.
rcrXCIAI, TELEOBAX TO THE DISPATCH-i
Lockpobt, ST. Y., Jan. 19. Eugene H.
Cowles, President of the Cowles Electric
Smelting and Aluminum Works, was
shown the Pittsburg dispatch sent out con
cerning his suit against the Pittsburg Re
duction Company, to restrain it from in
fringing on bis electrical aluminum patents.
Mr. Cowles makes some rather astounding
statements. He avers that the Pittsburg
Company "originated -with Charles Hall and
R. C Cplerfwo former experts in the employ
ofthc Cowles Company, who also employed
William Buckley and John Hobbs, also ex
perimenters and workmen in the Cowles
plant here. All of them are now with the
Pittsburg company, except the lattet. On
this Mr. Cowles said:
Our work and the wide publicity that we
have always given it in scientific societies and
the dally press, has led to the universal interest
in the subject of aluminum, and we expect to
show in the courts that the Pittsburg company
never made a pound of aluminum without the
use of patented ideas and practice, which
Messrs. Hall, Cole. Hobbs and Buckley learned
in their apprenticeship at the Cowles works,
where they. acquired all their knowledge about
the metal. Up to thn time of the starting of
the Pittsburg Reduction Company. Mr. Hall
was with tne Cowles Company for a year, and
although we spent a largo sum on his experi
ments, he never ma'de a pound of pure alumi
num. As soon as be left and began to use the
electrical beat and appropriated other ideas
which he had seen in use while at Lockport, he
came out as a successful producer of alumi
num. Our patents are the fundamental bedrock
patents, which are issued and are now pending.
They have been issued to us during the past
six years. They cover the use of electrical
energy in combination with carbons, to pro
duce aluminum from alumina. The term elec
trical energy is used frequently in our patents
and this covers the use of electricity iu its
broadest sense.
The statement, that the Cowles Company
is determined to produce and sell aluminum
within two years at a price that will com
pete with copper even at 10 -cents, are stil1
adherred to.
HONORING E0BERT E. LEE.
His Birthday Celebrated in an Elaborate

rSFECIAI. TELEORAK TO THE DISFATqit. .
Peteesbueg, Va., Jan. 19. The Legis
lature of Virginia at its last session made
January 19. General Robert E. Lee's birth
day, a legal holiday. Its first observance,
occurred to-day, and iu Petersburg the an
niversary was observed in a most appropri
ate manner. All the banks and State and
city offices were closed, as were all of the pub
lic schools, and business was universally
susp ended. At snnrise a salute of 13 guns
was fired at Central Park, another salute
ol 43 guns at noon, and at sunset there was
a salute of 15 guns. At 12 o'clock there was
a grand parade of the military, A. P. Hill
Camp Confederate Veterans, different civic
societies, fire department, police force and
school boys. Ex-Governor William E.
Cameron was chief marshal. The stores and
dwellings along the streets through which
the procession passed were richly decorated
with Confederate flags and bunting and the
National colon.
At the Academy of Music an immense
audience had assembled. It had been ex
pected that Senators Daniel, of Virginia,
and Breckenridge, of Kentucky, would be
present to deliver addresses, but they tele
graphed that their duties in Washington
would prevent tbeir attendance. The exer
cises consisted of prayer by the Rev. C. J.
Gibson and an address by Mayor Charles
F. Collier.
A NATURAL GAS TBUST.
That Is the Latest Charge Against the
Columbus Company.
(SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH.
Columbus, O., Jan. 19. The Natural
Gas Company to-night, in response to
charges of crookedness and refusal to keep
contracts with consumers, sent a communi
cation to the City Council, asking that a
committee be appointed with experts to ex
amine the plant, to see If they were not jus
tified in turning off the gas last week. The
company has asked a change in the charter,
so they may charge 25 cents per 1,000 feet,
in case they can secure the gas. The Coun
cil and Board of Public Works haveordered
the investigation.
Representative Schuler has prepared a
bill, which he will introduce in the House,
to prevent City Councils from allowing au
increase in the price of gas. The bill is pre
pared on the supposition that there is a
trust to force an increase iu the price, and
that Columbus was the first place selected
forshntting down, and the other places will
follow.

THE CRISIS AT HAND.
A Yery Few Days Now Will Settle
the Fate of the Force Bill.
SCHEMES OF MORTON AND H0AE.
Only a Widespread Republican Bolt Can
Prevent Their Success.
OBSTRUCTIVE TACTICS IN THE HOUSE
ISrnClAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH.!
Washington, Jan. 19. The climax of
the force bill contest in the Senate will not be
reached to-morrow. There may be, and
probably will be, some lively skirmishing
when Mr. Aldrich proposes the cloture
rules, but the real fight will not come until
after the motion to adopt it hasbeen debated
for a time and Vice President Morton en
deavors to apply the gag to Senators who
wish to still further argue the question of
such change of procedure.
Senator Hoar and the other radical Re
publican Senators have practically agreed
upon a programme of action which they pro
fess to believe will secure the adoption of
the cloture rule, and finally bring about a
vote upon the force bill. The programme is
based upon an agreement with Vice Presi
dent Morton, by which he agrees to announce
to the Senate his determination to shut off
debate at a given hour upon an intimation
from Mr. Hoar that it is time to take a vote.
A Republican Quornm Necessary.
This action will not be had, of conrse,
unless the Republican Senators are assured
that there is a quorum of their own num
ber present iu the chamber. It is now gen
erally conceded that it wijl be. useless to
make auy further effort to dispose ot the
force bill until aiule is adopted that will
permit the closing of debate. The force-bill
Senators are seeking supporters of the mo
tion to adopt such a rule, on the ground that
it is needed for the passage of the appro
priation bills and other necessary legisla
tion. This argument deceives no one, however,
and it is quite likely that the Republican
Senators who are opposed to the iorce bill
will be found voting against the proposed
cloture rule also. The fear that these Sen
ators will refrain from voting when the Vice
President shall have announced that no fur
ther debate will be allowed, and thus break
the Republican quorum, is now apparently
the only barrier that stands between Sen-'
ator Hoar and victory.
It may prove, however, to be an impos
sible barrier. There are 45 Republican
Senators in Washington to-day. One or
two more, possibly Chandler and Farwell,
are expected to-morrow, and it is not known
that any are going away except, possibly
Senator Ingalls who may or may not go to
Kansas during the present week. Senators
Moody, Squire and Pettigreware still ab
sent and have not been so considerate as to
notify Mr. Hoar of the date of their pro
bable return. ,
Where the Scheme May Be Beaten.
The flaw in Mr. Hoar's programme is that
at least four or five of the six Republican
Senators who are openly opposed, to the
force bill, boldly declare that they will do
all they can to defeat the measure even if if
is necessary for them to inaugurate dilatory
tactics or refuse to vote' and thus break a
quorum. Senators Teller, Wolcott, Stewart
and Stanford are the four men who feel justi
fied in resortintr to all possible, means to
defeat the passage of the bill. If they do
not weaken, neither the cloture rule or the
force bill can be pasted, as the lack of their
votes wouid necessitate the presence of 49
Republican Senators out of the total number
ot 51, and this.would seemingly be an im
possibility. It is probable, moreover, that, Senators
Washburne and Jones, of Nevada, will not
consent to the carrying out of the plan to
arbitrarily shut off debate but will join their
four colleagues in demanding that every
Senator who desires an opportunity to argue
the important question of making a radical
change in the rules and time-honored cus
toms ot the Senate shall be heard.
Mr. Hoar realizes, however, that every"
day that passes now lessens the probability
of the success of the force bill. He therefore
is growing desperate and will push the
question to an issue as soon as possible,
even though the odds are against him. The
proceedings of the Senate to-day were un
important. THE BAUH INVESTIGATION.
A Pension Office Employe Who Fills the
Bole of Hostler.
Washington, Jan. 19. The Raum in
vestigation was resumed, this morning.
Assistant.Secretary Bussey, of the Interior
Department, testified that he had not now
and never had any interest in the Refrigera
tor Company. Mr. Raum had asked him to
allow the use of his name in organizing a
company, in order to comply with the law,
and believing Commissioner Raum to be a
thoroughly reputable man, he had no hesi
tation in attending a meeting at Alexandria,
at which a company was organized.
Bradley Tanner, Commissioner Raum's
private secretary, testified that he was Sec
retary and Treasurer of the District of
Columbia Refrigerator Company, of which
the Universal Refrigerator Company is the
parent company. No stock bad ever been
issued.
Green B. Raum, Jr., was asked by Mr.
Cooper the name of the man who took care
of his horses, He replied that his name was
O'Douuel), and when asked if the man was
in the Pension Office, said: "That's none of
your business." The committee admitted
the question, and Mr. Raum stated that
O'Donncll was a messenger iu the Pension
Office at S70 a month. He had been ap-
Eointed by witness father. O'Donnell did
is duty and attended to witness' two riding
horses after office hours, for which witness
paid him. He refused to tell the compensa
tion, stating that it was none of Mr.
Cooper's business.
AN UNCONSTITUTIONAL LAW.
More State Legislation on Dressed Beef De
clared Void.
Washington, Jan. 19. The United
States Supreme Court to-day handed down
an opinion, affirming the judgment of the
Circuit Court of the United States for the
Eastern district of Virginia, directing that
a writ of habeas corpus be granted to Will
iam Rebman, convicted in Norfolk of a vio
lation ot the State meat inspection
law. This is one of what are known
as the .dressed beef cases arising out
of State legislation, having for its
object restriction of the sale of meats
by firms located outside the State in which
the meats are offered for sale. The statutes
of Virginia make it an offense to offer for
sale fresh meats slaughtered more than 100
miles from the place of sale unless first in
spected. It was contended that this law was an in
terference with the inter-state commerce,
and therefore unconstitutional and void.
The Court, in an opinion by Justice Harlan,
sustains the contention and affirms the Judg
ment of the lower court, ordering Rebman's
release.
THE-SILVEB BBICK CASE.
It Comes Up in Uio District of Columbia
Supreme Court.
Washington, Jan. 19; "The silver
brick" 'case was bronght up in the Supreme
Court of the District of Columbia to-day,
Messrs. Garland and May, as counsel for
George G. Merrick, Harley B. Morse, George
F. Batchelder and Robert J. Coleman,
praying the Court to issue a summons com
manding Secretary Windom to appear in
court and answer the petition of the silver
men, and also after full hearing to grant the
petitioners a peremptory mandamus, com
manding the Secretary to instruct the offi
cers under him to receive and coin the silver
bullion offered by them.
ACCEPTED THE ISSUE.
THE GAUGE OF BATTLE THROWN DOWN
IN THE HOUSE.
Tho Democratic Purpose to Kill the Force
Bill Squarely Acknowledged by Flower
McKlnley Thanks Him for the Con
fessionFilibustering Tactics Kept Up.
Washington, Jan. 19. The intention
of the Democrats of the House to resort to
obstructive tactics until a determination of
the Senate on the elections bill was mani
fested this morning, when Mr. Bland, of
Missouri, demanded the reading of Satur
day's proceedings in full, instead of in its
abbreviated form. But the journal being
short, its reading consumed very little time.
Then Mr", Mills rose and moved an
amendment to the journal, relative to the
refusal of the Chair to recognize his motion
to reconside the vote by which Friday's
journal was" approved. Mr. Cannon in
auired whether it was in order for him to
move the previous question on the approval
of the journal.
The speaker, regarding the proposed
amendment as not proper, recognized Mr.
Cannon's demand. On a standing vote the
demand was rejected 72 to 75 but the Re
publicans gathered strength and seconded
the demand; yeas 130, nays 103. There
upon Mr. Springer took the floor under the
rule allowing 40 minutes' debate after the
ordering of the previous question, and pro
tested against the Speaker's ruling.
Mr, McKinley said that It must be mani
fest to the country and manifest to every
gentleman on the floor that for the last six
weeks the whole effort of the other side had
been to obstruct the public business. Re
publican applause. There was not a gen
tleman on the other side who would not de
clare, if he were truthful (and he would be
truthful), that the whole purpose of the
filibustering tactics was that it should be
impossible, if the Senate should pass the
elections bill, to pass that bill through the
House.
Mr. Flower (of New York) We accept
that issue, and stand upon it. Democratic
applause.
Mr. McKinley I am glad the gentleman
makes an open confession.
Mr, Flower I do.
Mr. McKinley And I want to say to the
gentleman from New York that tbis issue
will not down.
Mr. Flower It downed the Republican
party. Democratic laughter.
Mr. McKinley You gentlemen secured
power in the House of Representatives by
the suppression of the votes of thousands
.and hundreds of thousands of citizens. You
may have a temporary victory now and
then derisive Democratic laughter, but
the party which stands against an honest
ballot and an honest count cannot long and
permanently hold power in this country.
Applause.'
After further discussion the Journal was
approved. Yeas, 137; nays, 101.

to-diy rendered his first opinions as a mem
ber of the United States Supreme Court
He delivered two opinions, of which ths
more important was in the case of George
H. Cope vs. Janet Cope and Thomas H.
Cope, brought here on appeal from the de
cision of the Supreme Court of Utah. The
question involved in tbis snit is whether or
not a son by a polygamous marriage has the
right of inheritance from his father, it being
claimed that he was an illegitimate child
and therefore not entitled to a share in the
distribution of his father's estate.
The Court, in its opinion, holds that the
son by a polygamous marriage did not have
this right, and reverses the judgment of the
Territorial court. The Court discusses the
Edmunds and the Edmunds-Tucker anti
polygamy acts, and says the latter act de
clared illegitimate the children ot Mormon
parents, born within less than 12 months
from its passage. The object, the Court says,
was to make these unfortunate an especial
object of care, and to make the parents re
linquish polygamy, by fixing a period until
after which their offspring should be legiti
mate. Kincaid's Trial Fixed.

Columbus, O., Jan. 19. The Legisla
ture resumed business at 4 P. ll. to-day and
a number of measures were presented, but
final action taken on none. Senator Shaw
presented a bill, providing for tbe holding
of elections under the Australian system,
being similar to the Indiana law and not
materially different from the bill of Senator
Brown, introduced some time ago. Repre
sentative Schuler has presented a bill in the
House which compels railroads with prin

ness in this State, and owning stock in
Ohio, to make reports to the several counties
through which the road passes, of the gross
receipts of the year collected in the respec

placed on the tax dnplicates. Local agents
or tbe general agent may perform the duty
under this bill.
The joint resolution for an investigation
of the management of the penitentiary will

not all, of them by the Governor.

terrciAt. teleoram to the dispatcb-.i
Albany, Jan. 19. Nothing but the per
functory compliance with the provisions of
tbe act to regulate the times and manner of
holding elections for Senators remains to
make Governor David Bennett Hill tbe suc
cessor to William Maxwell Evarts as one of
the Senators from the Empire State. He
was stamped as the choice of the Democrats
iu the joint caucus-this afternoon and the
rest of the proceedings to-morrow in the
House separately and on Wednesday in
joint session follow as a matter of course.
The Democratic caucus was called to or
der in tbe Assembly chamber at 5 o'clock
by Senator Linson. Tbe chamber was
crowded, the Democratio side being full of
the Assemblymen in tbeir regular seats, and
the chairs of the Republicans being occu
pied by the Democratic Senators and visi
tors. On the floor outside tbe rail, later
comers stood as thickly as they could and
shut onl tbe view of the seated ladies who
were ranged around the hall.
Many of the Fair Sex Present.
The gallery too, was jammed on both sides
ot tbe chamber, and in the gallery the
brightly dressed and beautiful women lent
an added interest to the scene. As the Re
publican caucus was not called nntll an
hour later many of the members of that
party seemed to take a melancholy pleasure
in the exercises that were preliminary to tbe
reduction of their power in the Federal
Government.
The roll call showed that every Senator
was on hand. Tbe Assemblymen did not
make so good a showing. Mr. Clarke, ot
New York, the absentee, was heard from. A
death in his family kept him away, but he
will be here to-morrow Mr. Duffy and Mr.
Mnllaney, two other New Yortcers, were not
heard from, and a game of pinocle is said
to have been the cause of their missing the
caucus. Mr. Stein, still another New
Yorker, has been married since the meeting
of the Legislature and proposes to wind up
his wedding tour in Albany to-morrow
morning.
So all of these Tammany votes will be
ready at the balloting and no disagreement
with the caucus is to be apprehended. Mr.
Nolan, of Albany, who is sick, was reported
by Mr. Hitt to be in fair Drospect of being
able to appear in the Assembly to-morrow,
and certain to be on hand on Wednesday at
the joint session.
The Slember Charged With Felonies.
The absentee, about whom the most inter
est was shown, was Demarest, of Rockland.
Mr. Taylor, of the neighboring county of
Urange, BpoKe up when his name was called
and said Mr. Demarest will be here at the
proper time.
When all was ready for nominations to be
made Speaker Sheehan was recognized. His
presentation of the name of Governor Hill
was received with great enthusiasm, and the
speeches of the seconders were also well re
ceived. The nomination was made by ac
clamation. After the adjournment of the
caucus every member of it and most of the
'Democrats called at the Executive chamber,
and tbe Governor held an informal recep
tion to receive their congratulations.
The Republican caucus in tbe Senate
Chamber at 6 was a very solemn affair.
Senator Coggeshall voiced tbe thought of all
concerned when he called it a funeral, and
it was a funeral at which the survivors did
not seem to be particularly anxious to make
a show of respect to tbe departed. General
Husted, who presided, spoke in sepulchral
tones as he briefly recited the object, of the
dismal gathering, and Senator Fassett
faltered and stumbled in bis speech of nomi
nation of Evarts. At the end of every
sentence be cast his eyes up to the lofty
ceiling as though in search of a word or an
idea.
When these glances failed of productive
ness, as they soon did, he sat down very ab
rubtly. There was a long pause, and no one
'would have been surprised' to hear the words
"The friends will now have an opportunity
to view the remains," so utterly lugubrious
had the situation become. No one else
seemed to feel like saying anything. The
caucus adjourned almost without voting the
emuty honorof a nomination to the attenu
ated statesman formerly known as "Our
Own Evarts."
THE KANSAS LEGISLATURE.
A Test of the Strength of the Alliance
WiU Be Made To-Day.
Topeka, Jan. 19. Both houses of the
Legislature met at 3 o'clock this afternoon.
No business of importance was transacted
beyond the passing of a concurrent resolu
tion providing for the holding of a joint
convention to-morrow afternoon for the pur
pose of electing a State printer. This is one
of the "fattest" offices at the disposal of the
Legislature, and the contest for it has been
spirited. Up to the present time the Alli
ance, which has the strength sufficient to
elect, has been unable to agree upon a can
didate. A caucus or conference, as the farmers
call it, is being held to-night at which the
matter is being discussed. The caucus is
absolutely secret and the result of tbe delib
erations will not be known until the ballot
ing begins to-morrow. The ability or in
ability of the farmers to agree upon a State
printer, it is thought, will be a fair indica
tion of the prospects of the success of the
farmers in electing a Senator to succeed Mr.
Ingalls.
THE CONNECTICUT SITUATION.
Each Houso Will Vote for a United States
Senator To-Day.
Haetfoisd, Jan. 19. Both Houses of the
Connecticut General Assembly meet to-morrow
morning, a'ttd the crisis developed by
the Senate last week inaugurating the State
officers is likely to come to a head then.
Governor Bulkley's proclamation of to-day
warns the persons who have taken office in
advance of being declared elected by the
General Assembly to refrain from acting.
Should any of them undertake to assume
office it is likely that force will be used to
prevent The Senate is Democratic, and if
an attempt is made there to oust Mr. Alsop,
whom it has declared Lieutenant Governor,
a scene may result. It is intimated that Mr.
Alsop may purposely be absent, leaving tbe
Senate's President pro tem to occupy the
chair.
Tbe House Committee appointed to in
vestigate the vote for State officers will
probably report that it has not yet finished
its work- At noon each House votes for
United States Senator. The Senate hasten
Democratic majority, and the House, as it
stands, has 14 Republican majority. The
Republicans unanimously renominated O.

(THOU A STAJT CORBESFOXDEMT.1
Haebisbubg, Jan. 19. Senator Cameron
arrived iu tbe city from Washington about
noon, and his field marshal, Tom Cooper,
got in on a night train from Philadelphia.
They received their friends at the Cameron
mansion. The senior Senator felt satisfied
from all reports sent him that his calling
and election were sure. His Republican
opponents worked long and hard to-day,
realizing it was their last opportunitv.
Many Democrats received brief but specific
letters from officers of granges to which they
belong demanding that they support the
only farmer in the field for United States
Senator, Austin L. Taggart. Mr. Taggart
himself spent the day and night canvassing
country members in the State House.
At 8 O'clock p. m. Taggart and his cohorts
yielded to the fashion of the period and held
a caucus. This conference was strictly se
cret, but 11 Republican legislators were
counted who attended it. They were Tag
gart, of Montgomery; Boyd, of Lancaster;
Seanor, of Indiana; Squires, of Tioga;
Coray, of Luzerne; Maghin, of Delaware;
Brown, of Crawford; Lewis and Sumner, of
Bradford; Williams and Thompson, of But
ler. Mr. Taggart, when asked if this was
his total Btreneth, said it was not. He said
there are other members of the Legislature
who are willing to vote against Cameron if
they can be convinced that there is hope of
defeating him. but that they refuse to come
out publicly in such a position until they
ate sura of the practicability of the Taggart
movement-
The Taggart cauens was in session a full
hour, and it adjo'urned to meet again at 10
o'clock in the morning. Whether they.bope
to gain any accessions then or not is not
known. One man they are counting on to
night is Bird, of Susquehanna, but he de
clares he is going to vote for Cameron as the
caucus nominee. Some unhesitatingly pre
dict desertions from the Taggart ranks be
fore 10 o'clock in the morning. Taggart's
hopn is that by holding his 11 men together
he may maintain a neucleus around which
restless Cameron men might gather.
At 3 o'clock to-morrow afternoon the bal
lot for United States Senator will be taken
separately in the two branches of the Legis
lature. It is only in the event of candidate
failing to secure a majority iu either House
that a joint session would have to be held
Wednesday. At the joint Republican
caucus two weeks ago Mr. Cameron's major
ity was equivalent to two of a majority in
the Senate and six in tbe House, with many
of tbe absentees of both branches pledged to
support tbe caucus nominee.
A COMPLIMENT FOB BLACK.
The York Statesman Nominated by the
Democrats for Senator.
IFROSI A STAFF COimESPOXDENT.
Hakeisbueo, Jan. 19. The Democrats
went into joint caucus at 8 o'clock and tbe
whole proceedings were as mild as a suck
ling dove. The roll showed about 25 absent.
The caucus proceeded at once to name can
didates for the empty honor of being voted
for against Senator Cameron and Farmer
Taggart Jdhn Donohue, of Philadelphia,
named Senator George Ross, and Sen
ator Brown, of Yorfc, named Chann
cey F. Black. It was decided to
vote by secret ballot. This was the move of
the Black forces that sealed tbe fate of the
gentleman from Bucks. The grangers
wanted the" Democrats to vote for Taggart,
but tbey could not do that, so they selected
Granger Black in order that they could say
to tbeir people that they nominated a
granger, for Black is a member Jot that or
ganization. The ballot went on and when
tbe vote was counted Black had SI and Ross
only 30 votes. Black's nomination was
made unanimous. The following resolu
tion offered by John F. Fow, Philadelphia.
was unanimously adopted:
whereas, rno late elections tnrougnout
the nation and results flowing from tbe same
must be accepted as an indication that the
people are determined to exact from their rep
resentatives in Congress a strict account of the
trnst confided in them, and
Whereas. It is proper that we, as representa
tives of the Keystone State, should place our'
selves upon record as being opposed to partisan
legislation; therefore be it
ResolvedThat we call upon the Congress of
this nation to drop partisan measures that are
inimical to the whole people.and pass laws that
are really needed to foster the impoverished
business interests ot tbe country.
NORTH DAKOTA SENATOESHIP.
The Fight Among Bepubllcans So Fierce as
to Prevent a Caucus.
Dissiarck, N. D., Jan. 19. To-morrow
the balloting will begin for United States
Senator. There are 24 Democrats, 6 Inde
pendents, and 63 Republicans in the Legis
lature. The Democrats have caucused and
agreed to snnport ex-Secretary M. L. Mc
Cormack. The fight of the field on tbe
Republican side against the re-election of
Gilbert A. Pierce has been so determined
tbat all efforts to hold a Republican caucus
thus far have failed. Pierce has about 25 tq
go on, and a dozen more probably on second
ballot; Congressman Hansbrougb has about
12; ex-Governor Miller, 15; Smith Stitn
mel and Walter Muir, Farmers' Alliance
candidates, about 6 each; Colonel Louns
berry, 5; balance scattering.
Pierce urges a caucus but the other can
didate: are secretly opposing it. It is prob
able the majority of Democrats after cast
ing a complimentary vote tor McCorinatk
will support a low tariff Republican. It
is the possibility of tbis that prevents the
Republican opponents of Pierce from going
ICantinued on Sixth fngt.

Dear Friend 1 have bad a most horrible
passage. Sailed Tuesday, early, and was soma
seasick. Tnesday and Wednesday. Friday my
bict bezan to discharge so much that a half
day would wholly saturate a folded handker
chief. Tbe pus was a thick mass. The united
efforts of the ship's doctors and two baa
Francisco physicians finally gave me some Te
ller. Discharge from back has much blood
in It.
I make no halfway affair this time, and as
soon as I can get there will ask for diagnosis
and treatment of Prof. Bergmann, of Berlin.

The next letter is from one of tbe physi
cians referred to by Dr. Painter:
Bekwn. Germany; Dec. 6. 1890.
H. P. Dilirortli, rittibnr:
Dr. E. T. Painter, ot your city, having fallen
very ill. requests me to write an exact account
ot his present condition and future prospects.
Shortly after leaving port he became seasick,
and soon thereafter his back trouble, disease of
tbe bone of spinal column, became very much
exacerbated, and becaise of bith be had to
take to bis bed-cat to; set up from the same
unui ne reacneu mis continent. On leaving
On
tne ooat, at xsremerbaven. he was
to - tbe cars, and after a
carried
night's
rest at Bremen, be started for Berlin. The en
tire trip was made on his back, he requiring the
assistance ot two men 'from the station to the
hotel in sborr. he was in a most precarious
condition. He arrived here at 5 o'clock yester
day afternoon, and was taken Immediately to
Prof. ISergmanu's hospital. To bis great dis
appointment he was refused admission, because
there was not a sincle bed vacant in the entire
institution. He thereupon secured rooms at
Central Hotel, near by, and requested the first
assistant physician of Prof. Bergmann, Dr. Ds
Reuter. to visit him next day at tbe hotel.
The Case Fron6unced Tuberculosis.
Dr. Do Reuter has just left, and as the result
of the examination. Dr. Painter will be ad
mitted to tbe hospital to-morrow, and will, as
soon as possible, be subjected to Kocn's con
sumption core, as tbe doctor prononnced tbe
case one of tuberculosis (consumption) or one
or mora bones of tbe spina! column.
Dr. Painter at present is feeling physically a
little stronger, but mentally and in spirit be is
truly down-hearted tbe suddenness of ths
disclosure, the distance from home, friends,
and entire dependence on strangers, family
cares, etc, all combine to bring about this
condition ot low spirits. And yet there is a
silver lining to. tbis black cloud, for if ever a
man in his condition can or could be cured it
is right cow and right here. Two years ago
such a diagnosis wocld hare been a oeath war
rant. Now we have hopes of his ultimate and
entire recovery, and that, of coarse, through
this discovery of Kocb.
Dr. Painter will, through me. so long as I
stay in Berlin, keep yon informed of
his condition and hopes to hear from
you in retnrn. 11 is address will be

I, the writer, am also a physician, bent upon the
same purpose here in Berlin, and havinz taken

to tbe very best of my ability, and will not
leave him until I see blm safe iu tbe hospital
to-morrow at 4 P. M. The next day 1 leave here
for a few days, and will retnrn and stand by

departure I will interest a friend or two iu bis
