Quay collected the money through his bank at Beaver, and when the certificate was sent on the Keystone Bank paid it. Where did this money come from? Why did Bardsley send it to Quay? On 2d Novem ber, 1SS9, Auditor General McCa mant sent the money for tho Magistrate's costs in Philadel phia to Bardsley over $30,000. Bardsley deposited it in the Key Etone Bank, and on the 29th No vember, 1SS3, ho (Bardsley) paid 61,575, to H. JT. Graffen, a clerk to Auditor General JcCamant.

Dispatches from their agent at Queenstown confirmed the report that the Teutonic had excelled her own best previous performance, going eastward, by 19 minutes. Her time was 5 days, 21 hours an A3 minutes. She covered 2.790 knots longer than the usual eastward passage in daily runs of 483, 4C8, 400, 400, 448, 457 and"l4 knots.

REPUBLICANS WILDLY PROTEST, And the Inguiry Is Once More BlocVed by a Partisan Debate NOT A PARTICLE OP PROGRESS MADE JTOM A ETATT COnHESFONDEXT.l Harrisburg, Oct 27. A game of foot ball with a score or more burly athletes tumbling over each other for no apparent purpose, but just for the fun there is in it could not have inrnished more amusement than did the Senate of Pennsylvania' this morning when the partisan leaders tossed and tumbled in a mental wrestling match FAC-SI5irLE for political effect. There was little or no dignity in the squabble. There were, how ever, many flashes intellectual lightning and there were poisoned darts of sarcasm fired between the contending forces with more or less painful effect, but there was positively no work done. The inquiry has not progressed a step this week, and the investigation to-night is Just where it was last Friday morning and just where it is likely to remain until after the election. The Republicans, in long and tiresome speeches, charge the Democrats with not only delaying the game, but with endeavoring to manufacture campaign ma terial. The Democrats, in the same sort of speeches, charge the Republicans with blocking the inquiry for party purposes. ALL ACTUAL BUSINESS BLOCKED. Between them the inquiry is not inquir ing. There are 19 Democratic Senates and 29 Republ'ca'i Senators. In the ordinary way ot figuring i; seems difficult to under stand just how the small minority is im peding the work of the liberal majority. When the Senate met at 9 o'clock this morn ing Attorney General Hensel was at his place at the counsel table. The other at torneys were alsa there. Mr. Hensel was suffering with a severe cold. He talked with difficulty and his voice was hnsky and hoarse. HC asked that the Senate allow him to ask Mr. Boyer just three questions before the argument in the case be opened. Mr. Hensel'B proposi'icn acted like an. elec tric spring on the Republican Senators, and before the Attorney General had explained the question he proposed asking fully a half dozen Republican Senators were on their feet protesting against reopening the case or going further into the inquiry. Senator Bobbins, of Westmoreland, was the first recognized. He asked if the case had not been closed. A dozen of his col leagues replied that it had. "Does the Senator object to my asking the question?" the Attorney General a'sked. "Oh, no, I don't object, but " Senator Robbins replied, and he took his seat. A FIEECE "WAR OP "WOP.DS. Then the war of words openei. Senator Grady said the effort to reopen th.' inquiry was a scheme on the part of the Democrat: to delay proceedings. He talked of the grave charges against the Stats Treasurer, of the effort to blight Mr. Boyer's life, and of the skill of General 'Hensel in manu facturing campaign material. Senator Gobin followed in a long speech of the same character, and conclulcd his remarks by charging the Democrats with playing-with the Senats for political effect. Senator Green, from the Democratic side, called attention to tbi Republican majority and for a time entertained the Senate by replying to the charge that the Democrats wcre obstructing the inquiry when the Re publicans had the majority to do just what they pleased if they dared'to do it. Senator Packer defended the position of the Republicans. He told of the solemn duty of the Senate, and insisted that the Democrats had from the beginning been prompted by political motives and were not honest in their efforts. Senator Robbins said be was favorable to the fullest possible inquiry, and without even smiling he as sured the Senate tha' he was opposed to re opening the case for fear the investigation would not be closed before election. Sena tor Hall demanded that the case cither be reopened or be formally closed, as he said he was getting tired of the debate. TOSITION OF'BOTEE'S attorney. It was then noon. The entire morning had been talked away. Mr. Shapley, the attorney for the nccuseiLaskedthe Senate to rule that the case had been closed. Mr. Hensel asked that his questions be ad mitted first, and the two great lawyers locked horns in a short but spirited war of words. Mr. Shapley charged Mr. Hensel with not only attempting to run the case. but the entire Senate. Hensel retorted that he did not have any disposition to run either the Senate or the accused, but lie in sisted that Mr. Shapley must not assume the position of a dictator to the Senate or to the Attorney General. Senator Hall defended the Attorney Gen eral and characterized Mr. Shapley's remarks ns being indecent, unfair and un parliamentary. "Senator Ross attempted to restore quiet. He argued that the Attorney General should be beard, and presented a resolution to that effect. He saw, he said, the political lines being drawn in the case, and it seemed to him that it was the pur pose of the Republican Senators to conduct the investigation in a safe political manner rather than to get an honest and full in quiry. For fear that the Senate might consider bis motion too broad, or for the purpose of delating the investigrtion, he modified the motion to suspend the rules of procedure adopted last night to allow the AttorneyGeneral toask the State Treasurer the questions he desired. PAETST LINES DEAWN. The motion was defeated by a strictly party vote. Then Senator Grady concluded that it would be bad policy to shut the Attorney General out, and after a short conference with other Republicans, pre sented a resolution admitting the questions of Mr. Hensel provided they were relevant and came strictly within ,Mr. Boyer'a term of office. Mr. Shapley insisted on knowing what Mr. Hensel's questions were before he would allow his client to answer them. Mr. Hensel indicated his first question and after a speech by Senator Penrose, the resolution was adopted. The first question related to inaccuracies in the Treasury report of personal property OF THE DRAFT. taxes. Mr. Boyer admitted the inaccuracies, but said the table had been prepared by clerks in bis office and said the errors were clerical ones. Mr. Hensel then asked: "Did you know at the time of your election as State Treas urer of Bardsley carrying a balance of State money at the Keystone Bank or did you know" of any arrangement with any person to let this money stay there or know of any arrangement to pay any money 'to Bardsley, 31. S. Quay or anyone else?" This question was more pointed than the Republicans had been expecting. They were not prepared for the inquiry and there was a central tumbling over each other to get in line to avoid -the -answer. Senator Grady with both hands extended tmshed to Mr. Penrose; General GobftriBrried to Senator Thompson's jeat. ThflMttfebeny Senators, with the exception oflHL.put their beads together 111 consultama.fflSena tor Bobbins and Senator Robinson' talked together on the subject and other Repub licans hurried about in confusion.- It was decidedly amusing to see the excited Sena tors like panic-stricken cattle rush for shelter. During all the 'confusion the Democrats sat quietly and enjoyed the excitement. Senator Grady was the first r recover. He went to the chair of President Watres and held a short consultation with thn President J of the Senate. Then, he walked to his seat and asked that the diair rule the question out of order, and the chair so ruled. Sena tor Jack Robinson then had the stenograph er repeat the question, and Mr. Boyer an swered the entire question by saying: "To all parts and portions of the question I em phatically answer-no." SnOET, SAD SESSION. When the Senate convened at 3 o'clock President Pro Tem Gobin was in.the chair. I The ill-temper of the morning had been dis- sipuiea ana tnc senators assumed a calm and dignified air. Even the gallery occu pants were profoundly respectful. It was a short, sad session. The vacant chair and desk of the late Seavtor Mehard were draped in heavy mourning. A basket of fresh flowers, arranged withuftistic skill, marked the dead member's place on the foor and the flowers themselvestwere not more beau tiful than were the elbquent tributes of hh fellow members to his memorv. To the grave of the dead Senator each of his former associates seemed anxious to carry a tender token and in pretty periods many of tbcm told tor him their regard and tenderest es teem. ' s Senators Osborpe, Lloyd, Williamson, Xogan, Markley, "Thompson, Critchfield, Shownlter, Crawford; PAbiurea and DunTap' each made an appropriate address and each seemed more eloquent and touching than the other. After the adoption of a fitting minute, the Senate, through respect for the late Senator, adjourned until 10 o'clock to morrtw morning. Herbert.

VAB.OS HIS, PARTY To Be Waged by Angry Captain How ard, of the Pension Bnreau, HAS SENT IN HIS KESIGNATI0N. He Threatens to Show Up Faum and Dudley in the "Worst of Iiights. HARRISON'S INSTRUCTIONS TO EGAN tPPrCIAI, TKbEORUI TO TUT! PtRP VTCIT.T Washington. Oct. 27. Captain How ard, one of the three clerks in the Pension Bnreau who have filed charges in the form of affidavits against the condnct of the office by Commissioner Raum, has written a letter to Secretary Noble resigning his position. It was his intention to give it to the press to-night, but at a late hour he concluded that this might seem discourteous to the Secretary, as it would appear in the news papers before it could reach the Depart ment. It is therefore withheld from the public prints till to-morrow. The letter is the result of the action or lack of action at a Cabinet meeting, held to-day, at which, the grave condition of affairs at the Pension Office was fully dis cussed. Captain Howard engaged passage for himself and wife on a European steamer, two weeks ago, intending to sail at once, but was requested to delay his departure for a few days, on a promise that something would be done to remedy matters at the bureau. He was almost positively assured that at the Cabinet meeting to-day it would be decided td accept at once the resignation of Commissioner Raum. Had that action been taken he would have sailed to-morrow afternoon. A COMPLETE EXPOSURE THREATENED. Mrs. Howard will now sail alone, and Mr? Howard will remain in New York till after the election, and will in the newspapers of the metropolis expose the whole of the in ternal operations of the Pension Bureau, as he has seen them at short range. He mapped out this line of action very promptly this evening, when he was in formed hat the result of the Cabinet meet ing was a decision to supersede General Raum with another person, possibly Third Anditor Hart, of the Treasury, but "not till after the elections. Mr. Howard concluded from this that he was merel being toyed with, and so declare'd lie would break loose from the Pension Office, and temporarily, at least, from the Republican party, and lay bare the entire details of wh3t seem- to be a very bad state of affairs. MrJ Howard, in his letter to Secretary Noble, recites the fac, that at the Secre tary's request he and others filed affidavits to certain serious charges and scandals that were being bruited about, in and out of the Pension Bureau; that he had offered to sub stantiate those charges, not by his word of mouth or by the assertions of others, but from the official records of the bureau. He had not only not been called on to do this, but the charges had been permitted to sleep, and the officials accused were still conduct ing the Pension Office in their own way. WANTS TO QUIT AT ONCE. He therefore offered his resignation and demanded its immediate acceptance, or, if the Secretary preferred to dismiss him, he would ask that the dismissal be made im mediately. Another reason Mr, Howard gives for his course in this letter is that since he filed his affidavit,-at tbe-Tcqnest'of theSe'cretary" and with the solemn promise of the Secre tary that he should be protected he had been persistently persecuted by friends of Raum and certain of his associates in office, and his treatment has been such that he could endure it no longer. That Mr. Howard's disclosures will create a great sensation there is not a shadow of doubt, and the more especially as they will come on the eve of important elections in which the fight is so close and the result so greatly in doubt that sueh a matter may turn the scale against the Republicans who will be the sufferers if anyone is to suffer. It is M'. Howard's declared intention to do the administration and the party of the ad ministration all the damage he can, and he will make New York his special field, where his blows may fall with most disastrous ef fect. He refuses at this time to divulge the complete scope of his exposures. GIST OP THE C03IING CHARGES. It is known in a general way that the affi davits of Howard, Engle and Taylor con tained charges that Green B. Raum, Jr., had as&ed money of olerks as the price of their promotion, and promising that his father would promote them it they came down with a "loan," that officials in the bureau had connived at the issue of fraudu lent and forged pension papers, with the knowledge of Commissioner Ranm; that money was paid upon forged certificates with Raum'a knowledge, and that the offend ing officials we're retained in office; that officials had been used to promote the in terests of certain pension claims attorneys, and with the knowledge and co-operation of General Raum, and other things that have not yet leaked to the public. In addition to the contents of the affi davits, Mr. Howard says he has many other facts in regard to the scandal of the bureau, lie will also make a bright, particular tar get of ex-Commissioner W, W. Dudley, Treasurer of the National Republican Com mittee, who was re-rated as a pensioner for the loss ot a leg above the knee, when his leg is really amputated below the keee, and whose papers, applying for a rerating, unac countably disappeared from the files af the office during the Congressional investiga tion last winter and whose name, therefore, did not appear in the list of pensioners re rated. THREATS OP DIRE VENGEANCE. Mr. Howard asserts that he will show up Colonel Dudley in an exceedingly unfavor able light, and will also describe the man ner in which Dudley, ex-Commissioner Tan ner and the millionaire pension attorney, George E. Lemon, absolutely conduct the affairs Of the bureau. Mr. Howard is about 45 years old, of fine education and abilities, very fluent of speech and pleasing of address, and alto gether a very engaging and attractive gen tleman. His manner is convincing, but he declares that he asks no one to accept any thing upon his word or personality, but will furnish a story that will prove itself. Mr. Howard was Consul at Hull, England, for several years, and made a host of friends in that country, among whom he was about to visit when delayed by what he consid ers a serious and imperative duty. His expose will probably appear within a day or two, and if his performance does not fall far short of bis promises he will furnish the great sensation of the campaign, and one which may have a far-reachiftg influ ence in the elections. Mr. Howard has always been a Republi can, and will- not admit that he is not 6ne now, or that he docs not intend to be one in the future, but for the moment he will.do what he can to punish an administration which, ns he thinks, condones the grossest mismanagement of a hureau that dispenses ?100,000,000a year.

His report, uncer date of yesterday, has Just been 'transmitted to this Depart ment by the Secretary of the Navy, who ad vises mo that a copy of the report was for warded to CaptainOchley to you. Tou will obsorvcj that the board of officers selected by Captain Schley to investigate this affair report that our sailors were, un armed andgavepio provocation; that the assaults on them were by armed men, great ly .superior in lumbers, and, as we must conclude, animated in their work by hostili ty to these mfn as sailors of the United States. Yon will also notice that the char acter of some of tho wounds indicate that tho public police or some of them took part in the attack, and will also observe that other American sailors were, without any apparent fault, arrested and for some time held by the authorities. The friendly ef forts of a few of the public officers to give succor to our men furnishes the only re deeming incident of this affair. This cruel work, so Injurious to the United States, took place on the 16th instant, and yet no expression of regret or of a purpose to make a searching inquiry, with a view to the institution of proper proceedings for the punishment of tho guilty parties has been, bo far as I am advised, offered to this Gov ernment.

If the facts axe as reported by Captain Schley, this Government cannot doubt that the Government of Chile will offor prompt and full reparation.

Washington, Oct. 27. Special Sec retary Proctor will probably remain a mem ber of President Harrison's Cabinet nntil November 15 or December 1. This morn ing the Secretary, before he went to the Cabinet meeting, had a Ions talk in hia most private office with J. M. Clarkson, ex Assistant Postmaster General, and this fact gave rise to considerable gossip regarding the coming changes in the Administration. The Secretary will probably not retire from the War Department much before De cember 1. The resignation of Senator Ed munds, that has caused the necessity of a new Cabinet officer, does not take effect until November 1, and there is no necessity for the existence of another Senator from Vermont before Congress meets. Secretary Proctor has not as yet been ap pointed to be a Senator by Governor Paige. He has received a letter from that official, indicating that such an appointment would be made upon the occurrence of the vacancy, and to this he has replied saying that he would be gratified at such an appointment, 'and that he would accept. The formal appointment will not be made nntil after November 1, and then Mr. Proctor can cease his present function and assume his new role as soon as he wishes. When he does so, however, he loses the neat sum of 53,000 a year, the difference between the salaries of Cabinet officer and a Senator. Dutch Guiana at the World's Fair. Washington, Oct. 27.

Storj TOBEBROUGHTBACK TO-MORROW NIGHT rSFXCIAI. TELXGRAM TO THE DISPATCH.1 Omaha, Neb., Oct 27. Theodore Doer flinger, the absconding Treasurer of the Franklin School Board of Pittsburg, ar rived in Omaha this morning from Chicago. He came in very unostentatiously, and his coming was unannounced except by a couple of telegrams to the Chief of Police to arrest him on the charge 6f embezzlement and wire the Chicago and Pittsburg authori ties. Chief Detective Haze met the train at the transfer on the other side of the river, picked ont his man, and as soon as he reached the Omaha depot placed him under arrest. The prisoner insisted at first that his name was Jones, but soon admitted that the officer was right, and that he was the Pitts burg defaulter. At the station he talked very freely, and admitted that there was a shortage of about 535,000 in his accounts. He said his stealings bad extended over about the whole time that he had been Treasurer, and that the Auditing Commit tee had never done anything more than to casually examine his accounts, while for the past three years it had not looked at them at all. Cannot Explain Where the Money Went. Doerflinger said he could not tell how ths money had gone, bat thought he had been too accommodating and had let everyone have money who had asked for it- He ad mits the truth of the charge, and that he ia a fugitive from justice as well, but cheer fully asserts that he is not wholly to blame for it, as the committee which was supposed to audit his accounts wofully neglected its duty and allowed him to steal without let or hindrance. He said the drug business had always paid, and he had not lost the money in business. He claims that he gambled but little, drank even less, and waa not particularly partial to any other dis sipation. He thinks he can fix up the matter, as he says he has about 520,000 worth of property and he professes to believe that his friends and bondsmen will make up the balance without causing him trouble. His bonds men are his mothetvand his brother-in-law, ex-Mayor McCalIin,.of Pittsburg. He says it will leave his mother very little after settling the claims, but that his brother-in-law is quite wealthy. Advised by Friends to Skip. He declares he did not want to leave home, bnt that his attorneys and friends told him they could not save him from the peni tentiary, and advised him to skip. This he did Thursday afternoon, after first shaving off his mustache to disguise himself. He went to Cleveland, from there to Alliance, from which place he drove out in the country 14 miles and sent back a friend who had accompanied him, to say that he did not want to go any further, but wanted to return home. Word came back from his attorney telling him that he could not re turn, bnt on the contrary, to go away from Pittsburg as far and as fast as the rules of the universe would let him. He then went to Chicago, and after a half day's stop there, left last evening for Omaha. He had but 580 in his pocket when he left home, and only 510 of that amonnt was left when he found himself in the clutches of the law on the west bank of the Missouri. Doerflinger was only required to give a $7,500 bond, although he had as high as $90, 000 of the school district's money in his hands at-one time. He told of one trip that he made to Philadelphia to sell a lot of bonds for the erection of new buildings, and rreturned home with over 580,000 in his pocket. He will go back withont a requisi tion, and anxiously awaits the arrival of the officer who will escort him back to Pitts burg. NOT BOTHERING THEM. DOEKFLTNGEirS STORY LAUGHED AT BY THE BOAKD. The Books Were Audited In Spite or His Efforts to Prevent It An Officer Sent to Omaha to Bring the Fugitive Back. Theodore Doerflinger's statement that his accounts were never audited -does not seem to bother the School Board very much. One member when ( seen simply smiled and remarked that all such accusations would not lessen the man's gnilt any, and only demonstrated the character of the man in his vain at tempts to drag his former friends into trouble. The fact is the books were audited 18 months ago, and Doerflinger's exposure was partly the result of the board insisting on seeing the books which he had repeat edly put off showing to them. When the news of the defaulter's capture reached the city yesterday afternoon a telegram was at once sent to the Omaha police authorities to hold him until an offi cer from Pittsburg arrived. They were also imstruced to watch him carefully, as he was generally believed to be in a desperate mood, and ready to commit suicide if he got an opportunity. After a consulta tion the School Board decided to have As sistant Superintendent of Police O'Mara sent after the man. He accordingly left for Omaha on t he limited last night. He will probably get back with his prisoner to-morrow night. Alderman McKenna had fixed to-morrow for the hearing in the snit of the School Board against Doerflinger. If he is not brought back in time the hearing will donbtless be postponed until the next day. There is considerable difference of opinion on whether the School Board will lose anything by the defalcation. By deducting the 55,000 warrant to Murphy & Hamilton, which, it is claimed, will be that firm's own loss, the shortage in school funds does not amount to much over 510,000. It is claimed D.oerflinger's property will more than cover this amount. Others say the man bad no property but what was covered by heavy
