Senators Vote That They Have No Jurisdiction, Draw Their Sal aries and Go Home. A WRANGLE IK THE FINAL HOURS. him thai the Senate was about to adjourn. A resolution was adopted empowering the chief clerk of the Senate to revise and edit the journal of the Senate. The appoint ments made by the Governor since the last reenlar session were confirmed, and at 4:30 o'clock the extraordinary session of the Senate adjourned sine die. After the adjournment Chief Clerk Smiley was presented with a handsome gold watch and a diamond stud. A number of short, pleasant speeches were made on the pres ent. There was not a senator in Harrisburg to-night and the 'only evidence that the extraordinary session has just been con cluded is the indelible blot it has left on the history of the Keystone State.

It, No jurisdiction! After juggling for 30 days with cold, hard facts, and after playing with the intelli gence of the people of Pennsylvania until the Senators themselves wearied of the un interesting amusement, the Senate this after noon at 1:30 o'clock decided by a vote of 28 yeas to 20 nays that it had no authority to even recommend punishment of State offi cials, who, upon their own evidence, has been proven guilty of gross violation of the State's laws. By this strictly party Tote the 28 Republican, Senators, representing as they do, nearly 6,000,000 people, served notice on the world that the Treasury of this State can be looted and robbed of $1,600,000 and that those who have practically pleaded guilty to being responsible for the high handed outrage cannot be punished so long as the convict City Treasurer of Philadel phia keeps his mouth shut, and the cashier of the Treasury is safely out of the jurisdic tion of the Senate and the law of Pennsyl vania. The List of Those Who Voted Aye. The Senators who voted that the Senate had no jurisdiction in tfao case of State Treasurer Boyer, all EepuHicans, were: Messrs. Bates, Becker, Crawford, Crltch fleld, Croue. Flinn, Gobin, Grady, Keefer, Lemon, SlcCreary, Xeeb, Newell, Osborne, Parker, Penrose, Porter, Bobbins, Itobln son, Showaltrr. Smith of Philadelphia, Smith of Lancaster, Steel, Thomas, Thomp son, Upperman, Williamson and Woods. Those who voted that the Senate had jurisdiction and demanded that the self confessed officials be punished, all Demo crats, were: Brandt, Brown, Dunlap, Green, Ball, Hen ninger, Herring, Ilincs, Laubach, Lloyd, Logan, McDonald. Markly, Meek, Monagban, Nevin.'Kapsher, Itony, Ross, Sloan. After thus declaring the Constitution un constitutional and pronouncing'the laws of the State illegal, the 4S Senators received their warrants for their S500 salary, mileage at the rate of 10 cents per mile, postage and stationery, and drew their money and have gone home to explain to their constituents why they violated the plain provisions of the law to shield corrupt officials and en courage crooked practices and obeyed w ith sublime regard the orders from their party bosses. The Cost Close to $50,000. The cost of the extraordinary session of the Senate will tail little if any short of 550,000, which, after all, is a small price to pay for knocking out with the recklessness of a wood chopper a section of the Constitu tion that originally cost months of intelli gent labor and probably $100,000 in money. The session to-day before the final vote was taken was devoted to short speeches. Senator Gobin concluded his talk, but at the solicitation of his colleagues he did not use that part of his speech which he had pre pared, declaring that sufficient evidence had been produced to convict Mr. Boyer in a court of law, and that until he was con victed the Senate did not have jurisdiction. Instead, he devoted an hour to protesting that the Constitution does not mean what it plainly says. SenatorGobinwasfollowed by Senator Bapsher, who read a short speech, in whieh he argued that the Senate had jurisdiction. Senator Packer read a long argument against the jurisdiction of the Senate. The Knd Decided at the Start. Senators Brown, Logan and Sloan argued in favor of the Constitution and Senator Hall stirred up the Bepublicans by charg ing that they had prejudged the case, and that they had on the first day of the session decided that they had no jurisdiction, but that they were afraid to so vote until after the election. Senator Packer demanded that Senator Hall be called to order. Senator Gobin in sisted that Senator Hall was brutal and un fair, and Senator Hall replied that Senator Gobin was compounding a felony and at the same calling on high heaven to witness his purity. Hall then apologized to the Be publicans in the humblest terms and in turn several of the Bepublicans made speeches in which they made capital of Hall's apologies. Bobiuson was especially pointed in his remarks'; he declared the offering of a reso lution by Senator Hall on the 19th of Octo ber to force a decision on the question of jurisdiction was purely a partisan and poli tical performance. He declared further that the whole proceeding was initiated for partisan purposes and he believed that there were Senators on the other side who would agree with the Bepublicans, if they would ote as they talked outside the chamber. Jtoss Retires In Disgust. Senator Hall and his Democratic col leagues sat silent and appeared as grinning idiots, while the majority side laughed aloud at their confusion. Senator Boss had refused to take any part in the controversy. He lifted himself above the petty squabble aud he was not among his brethren when they w ere dragged about the Senate. After tlie adoption of Gobin's resolutipn dcclar i i lhat the Senate had no jurisdiction that 1) id y took a recess, afser the recess n com mittee waited on the Governor to notify AMONG ANGRY ANARCHISTS. A REPETITION OF THE HATB1ABKET RIOT ALMOST RESULTED Trom the Sadden Appearance or Police as a Red-Flag Meeting Officers Compel the Leaders to Display the Stars and Stripes on the Stage. Chicago, Nov. 11. The stars and stripes waved aloft to-night after a scene of excite ment unequaled since the Haymarket riot. Over 1,000 Anarchists and their sympath sizers had crowded into the "West Twelfth street turner hal to commemorate Novem ber 11, 1887, on which there fellow Anarch ists were hung. The speeches were in cendiary, and red emblems covered every thing. The climax was the speech of Henry "Weisswank, editor of New York Baker, a German trade paper. Inspector of Police Hubbard, accompanied by Lieutenant Gib bons and a squad of officers in citizens' clothes, were seen to qnietly approach the stage. They ordered the American flag placed among the flaming crimson banners which were conspicuous everywhere. Instantly there was a profound sensation in the motley audience, and the police were hissed from all parts of the hall. Mrs. Lucy Parsons, who occupied a chair against the rear wall, shrieked out: "Hang the mur derers of my husband!" In a moment pan demonium reigned, hundreds of excited men pushing forward, cursing the officers and seemingly only wanting a' look from the leader to precipitate a fearful riot Nevertheless.Inspeetor Hubbard unflinch ingly ordered a suspension of the meeting until his commands were obeyed. Through the din the half' hundred police could be seen placing their hands on their clnbs and revolvers preparatory for a fight, which teemed inevitable. It was fully ten minutes before order was restored. The flag, meanwhile, had been reluctant ly hoisted to a place over the stage, a pro ceeding only accomplished when the officers were found ready for action and cooler heads among the excited audience and spec tators had time to exercise some influence. The meeting had been taken completely by surprise, else a more tragic result might have followed. The first the crowd knew of the police being present was when Inspec tor Hubbard, with his detail, entered from a side door under the stage, having came up by a private enterance. OPENING ON GRANT AND SEVENTH. A Philadelphian After Property for a Large Hotel. Nearby TWO NEEDED IMPEOVEJIENTS ASSUBED 0KLY A COAL OUTLET. New York Central People Keeping Out of the Pennsy's Territory. New' Yop.K.Nov.ll. Special. The New York Central people deny that they have any intention of making a through line out of the Beech Creek road, or of forming a trafiic arrangement with the Pittsburg and "Western. Undoubtedly they cill oxebaugo business, as all roads do, at junction points. The sole purpose of the Beech Creek exten sion is to afford it a handy connection with the Lake Shore, and a western outlet for its growing coal business. Jt is intimated that the Central officials have assured the Penn sylvania Company that there is no inten tion ot making anything except n coal and local road out of the Beech Creek. The Vanderbilts admitted their willingness to keep out of the Pennsylvania territory when they turned over the South Penn to the Pennsylvania. The understanding is that the Vanderbilts shall do this in consid eration of the Pennsylvania's keeping out of New York State. The Beech Creek road is not regarded by the Vanderbiltsas a competitor of the Penn sylvania system, and they do not wish it to be so considered. They say that the talk of a combination with the Beading for a through line is all nonsense. They are amuted at the idea of seeking the "shortest route from New York to Chicago" through a mountainous country. A DAY OF WHOLESALE EYICTIOHS. An Iron Company Commencing To-Day to Tnrn Ont 150 Tenants. Buffalo, Nov. 11. Special To-morrow morning will witness the eviction of the citizens of Uniontown, one of Buffalo's suburbs. The Union Iron Company, which owns the ISO houses, to-day served notice on the tenants that they must vacate the premises within six days. The announce ment wns unexpected, and the result is that the wildest confusion reigns in Uniontown to-night. There are no houses within sev eral miles to accommodate the evicted ten ants and they do not' know where to go. Many of them have sought legal advice. The Union Iron Company explains its action by saving the houses are wanted for its employes. The iron company is just starting up, after 10 years of idleness. Bon fires are burning in Uniontown to-night, and by the unsteady light the tenants are removing their goods. The weather is cold and suffering is likely to result Most of the families are Germans. Mattering? of Coal Pool Discontent. Philadelphia, Nov. 11. Special' The Beading Bailroad officials profess to make light of the rumors of an impending coal war, and say there will be no trouble. President McLeod hesitated to commit him self on the subject He said that the Bead ing had not taken any action, and he be lieved the companies would continue to work in harmony. The Beading has been exceeding its allotment in the anthracite coal pool, and mntterings of discontent among the other companies have been beard, it was reported that the Beading would be called to task at the next meeting of the anthracite representatives, but this could not be confirmed. Election Riots In Ecnador. GnyAQurL, Ecuador, Nov. 1L The municipal elections, which commenced in this city on November 7. have been at tended with bitter political fends, which caused intense excitement and at length led to bloodshed. Street fights were frequent, but as the people were unarmed no serious results followed until the police took part in the row. "Without .warning they opened fire upon the populace and wounded several persons. Business has been entirely suspended. A Plot Against President Ezeta. San Salvador, Nov. 11. A conspiracy to assassinate General Antonio Ezeta, the Minister of "War, the Navy and Interior, aud brother of General Carlos Ezeta, the the President of Salvador, has just been dis covered in the city of Santa Anna. The chief conspirator is General Maximo Sal guero Several arrests have already been made, and others arc likely to follow; The method to be employed was poison. Pittsburg is assured a new union depot and another large, first-class hotel In the near future, two improvements the city has needed for years. The Pennsylvania road has completed all its property purchases, and, it must be said for its benefit, that it has not been the fault of the corporation that the station was not built long ago. President Boberts and General Manager Pugh have said repeatedly that anew depot was only a question of time, but the delay has been rasping, and at times the officials have been charged with "rubbing" it into Pittsburg for the riots of 1877. These in sinuations have always been denied, and to any thinking man they will appear ridicu lous. As a result of circumstances,over which they have had no control, the Pennsylvania road has seen its local or suburban patron age slipping away from its grasp, until now what is left is only a skeleton in comparison to what it has been. The company intends to make an effort to win it back, with con siderable show of success. The Deal Was Not Completed. About a week ago The Dispatch stated that the Pennsylvania road was negotiat ing for the property in the Hard- scrabble district to be used as a site for a freight station and yards. At that time the deal had not been closed, for it is a difficult thing to buy from the Schenley estate. It now transpires that the refusal of the Schenleys to sell has been the cause of all the delay. Without the Hard6crabble property the road was handicapped and unable to get rid of the Panhandle freight depot and yards, facing Liberty street, where it has been the intention all along to build the new passenger station. Now The Dispatch is in a position to state that the Hardscrabble site has been bought, and in a short time the removal will be made. The deal has been completed. This paper also published recently that the new depot would be built in the Panhandle yards, and opening out at the corner of Grant street and Seventh avenue. This is about as far down town as the railroad can possibly get, and is more reasonable than the thousand and one schemes along Smithfield street which have been suggested in the last three years. Manager Pugh is yery well satisfied with the location. When asked some time ago why he didn't try to get further into town, he wanted to know in what other city in the United States a railroad was so close to the business center as the Pennsylvania will be after the new depot is built The best part of the arrangement is that the road has secured its foothold for a mere song. It cost them 712,000,000 to reach Broad street in Philadelphia, and the sale of the Schenley property in Hardscrab ble has ruaili the- Pennsylvania officials jubilant The Pittsburg problem 4s now solved, and nothing remains bnt to make the necessary changes and erect the buildings.- More Room a Necessity. It has been the aim of the officials to get the Panhandle station on the Court House side of the tunnel, as it would be advan tageous in more ways than one. The com pany is hampered for room, and the short underground passage way couldn't be widened without greaexpense. The tracks, however, will be ample for passenger serv ice, and under the new plan the Panhandle trains will run out of the tunnel directly into the depot The policy of the road is to run all freight trains around the city, and with the Ohio connect ing bridge the heavy trains can be taken over the West Penn road or the Pittsburg, Virginia and Charleston. The East Liberty grade is one of the heaviest on the line. Torrens is about 200 feet higher than the Union depot, and to avoid this grade will greatly facilitate the movement of freight. By removing the Panhandle yards to Hardscrabble, there will be no further necessity to run outside freight through Pittsburg, and the local traffic can 'be easily handled by transfers. Now as to the depot plans. People who think that tbe Pennsylvania road has given ud us juutu iruvei wiuioub a struggle are very much mistaken. The local patronage has been a bonanza, and since the advent of the cable roads, the line has lost heavily. The depot will be built with a view to accom modating people lhing in the East End. In the Panhandle yards the road has 2,041, 800 square feet of surface, or nearly five acres. It faces 640 feet on New Grant street and 320 on Seventh avenue This This will give some idea of the dimensions of the station, including the sheds. The plan is to build the depot over toward the tunnel with the main entrance from Grant and Seventh avenue. Several tracks will be built un der sheds along New Grant street, and the trams will run to tna, limit, landing pas sengers at Seventh avenue. Accommodations for Patrons. Gates will probably be put in along New Grant, and passengers can walk off the cars onto this thoroughfare, and be very near to the heart of the city. There will be no de lay in the yards as in days gone by, and no long walks. At present people must tramp almcst to Fourteenth street to board the cars, and from that point down-town in coming in from their homes in the morning. It can be plainly noted that the distance from Seventh avenue will be much shorter. A lawyer standing on the Court House steps will see the depot within two squares of his reach. It will be a great boon for the legal profession, and a shortj easy walk to the train. By making the local fares low the Pennsylvania people think they will be on a good competing basis with the traction roads to the East End. But Allegheny and iiib uttvci guiug ci mc . ui .uaiue electric roads haye not been forgotten. Several years ago the road bought the property abutting on Penn avenue and Liberty street, now occupied by the Adams Express Com pany. This property was purchased as art of the scheme. Most casual observers aveprobably notioed several Ft Wayne tracks that nave been built up to Penn avenue and stopped there. These tracks will be extended across Liberty street into the new depot, and in this way the present sharp curve, which is datigerous aud diffi cult to get arouuu, win ue uvuiueu. xms would be in keeping with, the growth and importance of the city.' The Allegheny Valley is to have a share In the programme, unless the Erie system should outbid the Pennsylvania when the foai is sold. The Erie people are aggressive, and will make their rival put up" liberally to retain its prestige. Another competing line would help Pittsburg, and the Erie has promised to build a new depot where the Allegheny v auey general omces now are u iuo v get the road. In connection with the Pennsylvania im provements, a new hotel is among the pos sibilities. A prominent Philadelphia hotel man, who evidently had. knowledge of the railroad company's intentions, was in the city several days ago and commenced nego tiations for a site on Seventh avenue and Cherry alley. Three properties in that lo cality can be bought for 5265,000, and it is his intention to build a house costing 51,000,000 in Pittsburg. The need of an other first-class hotel -is admitted on all sides. One of the difficulties has been to secure cheap ground. A number of hotel projects have been dis cussed by capitalists, but the price of land in a good locality has disheart ened them at the start- With the new depot on Grant street.- hotel on the site men tioned would be within easy reach. The neighborhood also would be vastly im proved, and no objection on this score could be urged. An Admirable Site. Beal estate men who'.hive been asked for their views admit that it is an excellent lo cation, and couldn't be duplicated in the city for twice the price. The properties in question under coasidera tion are the First U. P. Church, corner Seventh avenue and Cherry alley, the Walker property next to it on the avenue, used at present for warehouses, and the old Oak alley church in the rear, which abuts against the Jackson building on Liberty street The U. P. Church fronts 135 feet on Seventh avenue and 120 in Cherry alley, price 100,000; the Walker property fronts 90 feet on the avenue by 120 feet back, price f 80,000; and the other church in the rear faces 120 feet on Cherry alley, 141 on Oak alley by 164 feet on another side, price 83,000. Altogether the area is 34,440 square feet, or a plot much larger than the Monongahela Hqpse. Between the Walker property and the Bis- sell block on Seventh avenue are, two old houses belonging to the Bissell estate. These are hard to get, and probably no effort will be made to secure them. The Philadelphia man contemplates erecting a seven to eight story hotel, something after the style of the Hollenden in Cleveland. When this is done, with the Telephone Com pany's building opposite, Seventh avenue can boast some of the finest structures in the city. The Quaker City Boniface for several reasons wants "his name withheld for the present The main one is he doesn't care to be bothered by agents, or have the price advanced.

BISHOP TAYLOR'S NIGHT AT A HOTEL IN ROTTERDAM, His Head and Nose Badly Battered While Ho Slept No Knowledge Left Him as to How, When or by "Whom He Was Attacked. New York, Nov. 11.

The officials of the State department and other friends, admirers and political adherents of Secre tary Blaine in Washington are making daily discoveries of what they regard as evidence that a systematic attempt is being made by the friends of President Harrison to rob Mr. Blaine entirely of the credit due to him for the accomplishments of the State department during the present administra tion. The latest enterprise ot this kind is developed in connection with the informa tion made public in the Supreme Court, yesterday, to the effect that a treaty of arbi tration between the United States and Eng land regarding the Bering sea fisheries has been agreed upon for presentation to the Senate for ratification. As soon as Solicitor General Taft had let out the administration secret, apparently as a slip of the tongue, but Teally for the pur pose of affecting the pending hearine in the Sayward case, the friends of Mr. Harirson promptly jumped to the conclusion that this treaty had been arranged during the sum mer months while Mr. Blaine was at Bar Harbor too ill to concern himself with pub lic business. Harrison Complimented by Bis Organs. The few newspapers that are loyal to the fortunes of the President at once proclaimed that he had carried on negotiations looking to a treaty of arbitration, assisted by Secre tary Tracy and Mr. John W. Foster. They complimented Mr. Harrison for his diplo matic cleverness, and the Secretary of State was completely ignored. Those officials of the State Department who know the real facts about Mr. Blaine's State Department work during the summer, hesitate between amusement and indigna tion at the impudence of these friends of the President. They state with positiveness that tbe treaty referred to by the Attorney General and Solicitor Taft in the Supreme Court yesterday, was negotiated last spring before and during the trip of President Har rison to the Pacific coast, and that it was one of the best guarded diplomatic secrets known in the history of the American Gov ernment The State Department officials say there is no doubt whatever about this, and that when' the proper time arrives it will be shown by the publication of the correspondence that the statement is abso lutely correct. The President's friends have been for several months engaged in a persistent effort to convince the public that he is the real author and sponsor of the reciprocity policy of the administration, and that Blaine is entitled to none; or very little of the credit for the benefits it has brought or will bring to the United States. Now they bring forward the settlement of the fisheries controversy and endeavor to play the same jgjjgSB E1BITI0N0F PLANS For the Carnegie Iree Library to Be Erected-at ScheE- leyJPark.

What followed he tells in a letter from London received at the Metho dist book rooms in this city. It is as fol lows: A little beforo midnight I awoke, feeling uncomfortably warm. I threw off the blan kets and fell asleep again. I awoke again a little before 3 a. m., feeling great pain and burning soreness of my nose, lower lip and chin. A candle was burning on the centor table, and I saw that on each side of my head was a large towel, both towels covered with patches of blood, and they were ad j us ted to catch a. flow of blood from the outer surface of my nose, the surface skin of which seems to have been broken from between the eyes to the point, and tho base to tho forehead near tbe eyebrows battered, chin terribly bruised, the lower lip broken outside, and badly cut Inside on the lower teeth. I was' badly battered, without the slightest knowledge or remembrance of how it camo to pass. The next morning the proprietor of the hotel reported thnt at 1 a. jr. he heard a heavy fall in the room next to him. and hastening in, found me in a kneeling po sition, sitting back on my feet and the blood flowing profusely from my nostrils, no at once got a washbowl and held It under my face for three-quarters of an hour, and was about to hasten for a doctor, when the flow from tho inside stopped. He then pa t me in bed, adjusted the towels to catch the blood anil returned to his room. He was wtjjh me from 1 to 2 a. m. I lay there entirely uncon scious, and when I woke up I had not a trace of even a dream of what had passed. The conclusion was that from the effect of lack of ventilation, and getting cold, I turned out for a walk on deck to warm up. Tbut was my first experience In somnam bulism. Tho blow was hard on my nose. The region of my eyes, from brow to cheek bones, was black and blue, occasioned by the smashing in of the nose, yet in the morn ing the nose was in the right shape and po sition. I constantly suffered pain for many days, but all Is healing nicely. Friends of Bishop Taylor express the opinion that a fall would not have pro duced such effects, and believe that he was assaulted, probably with a view to robbery, and left to die.

GOBHAM, Me., Nov. 11. Special About 20 years ago a book containing all the records of this town, from ,1754 to 1815, was lost It was of great value, as it con tained records of events which could be1 found nowhere else. The loyal and earnest action of the town during the revolutionary times, and again in 1813 were all in the missing book. Every effort was made to find the volume, but without success, and the enterprise was abandoned. Last week a package containing three books in excellent preservation came by express lrom Boston, without .any explana tion. One of them was the early records of Gorham. The other two books contained the marriages, births and deaths of the in habitants of the town from 1764 to 1822. This event has been the source of great rejoicing, for the acts and doings of the early and distinguished fathers of the town are now preserved in the original manu script But it is a great mystery where tbey have been all these years, or by whom they were finally sent back. A Determined War on Butterworth. Chicago, Nov. 11. iSpaJoi The Co lumbus Club is now demanding the dismis sal of Secretary Butterworth from the ex ecutive department of the World's Fair, be cause of his anti-Catholio speech at the Standard Club a week ago. Jn a World's Fair official, the members say, it showed a religious narrow-mindedness and a bad taste that should at onc-j be removed from any connection with such a cosmopolitan under taking as the World's Columbian Exposi tion. Meeting are being held by Catholics in all parts of the city to denounce Mr. But terworth for his utterances,and it is thought the storm will result in the official dropping out of the executive chair which he has held for the past year. Even Uncle Jerry Bask Hoped In. i In connection with this effort to popular ize the President, the attention of Blaine's friends has been called to the faot that even so good a. Blaine man as Uncle Jeiry Busk, of the Agricultural Department, has lent his aid to the work of crying up the President and crying down the Secretary of State. Ever since the announcement was made that the German Government had agreed to remove the restrictions imposed upon the importation of American pork, the admin istration organs have been loud in proclaiming that the President con ducted the negotiations in person, and that he aud his Secretary of Agriculture were alone entitled to the credit of the victory. It is true that Secre tary Busk paved the way for the action of the German Government, by using all his influence to secure the passage by the last Congress of the meat inspection act, which was, in fact, the forerunner of the removal of the pork embargo, but the friends of Blaine insist that it was he, and not the President nor his Secretary of Agriculture, who actually brought about the revocation of the restrictions. In support of this claim they state that the nego tiations were carried on entirely by Minister Phelps and the German Min ister of War in Berlin, and Mr. John Fos ter, acting for Mr. Blaine, and Count Arco Valley, the German Minister in Washing ton, whose place, when he fell ill, was taken by Baron Von Numm,-the Secretary of the uerman legation, it is lurtner stated that the instructions under which Phelps and Foster acted were prepared and signed by Blaine himself, before he left Washington in May last Evidence In the Eyes of Blaine Men. The friends of the Secretary of State have all along been convinced that the attempt to persuade the public that he has been lor six months past a mere figurehead, and that the President has personally con ducted the affairs of the Department ot State, has had executive sanction. They point to the fact that when the agreement between Germany and the United States was finally agreed upon at Saratoga, and signed by the President when on his way to the Bennington centennial, it was followed, three days later, by its publication in an administration organ, in spite of the fact that in accordance with the verbal terms of the agreement the German Government was to have the privilege of first announcing the result ot the negotiations. In that publication the credit for the diplomatic victory was given to President Harrison, Minister Phelps and Secretary Busk, with very little mention of Secretary Blaine, who had personally mapped out the lines upon which the controversy was conducted. When, a few days ago, the report of Sec retary Busk was made public, Blaine's friends read it with much curiosity to 6ee whether proper credit would be given to the Secretary of State for his management of this case. They would not have been surprised if Blaine had again been entirely ignored, and so were not somewhat agree ably disappointed when they found that Mr. Busk had in a slight way acknowl edged the assistance he received from the State Department in the negotiations. Mr. Rusk's Little Hint at Blaine. The Secretary's remarks on this adminis tration achievement, addressed to the Presi dent, are as follows: been attained, that I should also not fail to acknowledge the cordial co-operation of the department of state, and of those diplomatic representatives abroad who have so intelli gently and earnestly presented this subject to foreign governments. This is rather more than Mr. Blaine's friends expected of Mr. Busk, in view of the fact that he is regarded as the toil which is being used by the President to get votes away from Blaine, but not by any means what they think the Secretary was entitled to at the bands of his old friend and supporter. An Amusing Feature of the Game. There is a rather amusing feature of the freeze-out game which the Harrison men have attempted to play on Blaine which has never before been made public, and the documentary evidence of which may possibly become a part of tbe records of the State Department Last spring about the time that Prince Bussell Har was actively engaged in the pub-liej- Varticles claiming the credit of whv 'Vj going in the administration to bev''5' 5 of nis father's personal ef forts, an '3The President was prepar ing to takv y,uX overland Pullman car journey, Secq, w-lne wrote a note to eir Julian rauOQ,. vy e .British Minister, suggesting a doS, .O 'vfct of the confer ence that had beevvr' yd betweerrthe United States Govej ) ,i and the Cana dian Commissioners re,Jing our relations with Canada and other questions. The principal reason given for desiring a postponement of the conference was the fact that the President did not desire to have it take place during his absence. To this Sir Julian Paunceioote replied in an informal diplomatic note, in.whioh he gives full play to his British sense of humor. Inthe most courteous language known to this history of the diplomatic correspond ence, Sir Julian begged the honor to say that he would, of course, agree to the desire of the United States for a postponement, but would, at the same time, ask the privilege of expressing, as humbly as possible, his surprise at the grounds upon which the postponement was asked, in view of the fact that the perusal of Mr. Blaine's note gave him the first information ever received that Presi dent Harrison had been in any way inter ested in or connected .with the subject Those friends oCBhune who have had the privilege of perusing this bit of pleasant sarcasm have enjoyed considerable fun at the President's expense on account of it, and it will be preserved as a piece of unin tentional testimony to what they believe to be a combined effort to eliminate Secretary Blaine from participation in the Harrison administration, in order to pave the way for the nomination of the President next year.

AJfDEEW CARNEGIE TIEWS THE DESIGNS HE seventh story of the new Ferguson building contains $50,000 worth of architectural designs, placed to view on large, improvised easels. They, are the competitive efforts of 96 different designers, of the United States, each of whom hopes to win the prize to be awarded by the Carnegie Library Commission as to the style of architecture of the proposed structure in Schenley Park. A more admirably adapted room, both for light and size, could not have been selected for the display. The public will be permitted to view and criticise the designs for two weeks, the doors being thrown open at 9 o'clock this morning and continuing until 5 p. M. Three large elevators will carry those interested in the art exhibition, for it truthfully can be called such. According to Chairman J. B. Scott, of the commission, this is the greatest competitive display ever made in the country. There are it 3pfli One in the Grecian Style. DETAILS TO DETERMINE IN THE ARBITRATION OF THE SEAL ERIES DISPUTE. How Bach Matters Have Heretofore Been Arranged The Preliminaries Not Yet Signed Methods of Procedure A Shoe on the Other Foot. Washington-, Nov. 11. It was learned to-day that the treaty for arbitration of the sealeries dispute between the United States and Great Britain has not yet received the signatures of the representatives of the Unite'd States and Great Britain, for al though all the points to be submitted to arbitration have been agreed upon, the method of arbitration is still a matter open to discussion. This must be arranged and included in the terms of the treaty. There are several methods of precednre in such cases, one of the most satisfactory to tbe interests of the United States here tofore being that which was followed in the appointment of the Geneva arbitrators. In that case the United States and Great Britain each chose one representative from other nations, and these two selected three others, the five members composing the Ar bitration Commission. While it has not been determined to follow this course in the Bering sea arbitration, it is believed by per sons in authority that this remaining point will be adjusted before the meeting of the Senate, and that the arbitrators will have defined the exact rights of the United States and Great Britain in Bering Sea be fore the opening of the next sealing season. Begardmg the decision of the Supreme Court in the Sayward case, it can be stated that the administration is awaiting the out come with equanimity. If the Court de nies the British contentions the result will be very gratifying, but if it should take the other course and find the seizure of the vessel to have been illegal the administra tion has the satisfaction of pointing to the fact that it is in no wise responsible for the seizure of the Sayward. which was made by order of its predecessors. A Snlclde With a Piece of Glass. Philadelphia, Nov. 11 John F. Scott, 22 years old, attempted suicide this morning by cutting his throat with a piece of glass. Scott's family live in Galveston, and he came to this city to attend the Uni versity of Pennsylvania. Just why he was anxious to end his existence does not appear. TABLE OF CONTENTS. 96 plans on exhibition and no one without an architectural education need endeavor to criticise or give a detailed description of the exhibit In this connection it is sufficient to say that tho whole is very interesting, and the designs are no doubt tbe masterpieces thu3 far of every contributor.

To wander through the aisles and pick out a favorite design is almost impossible.

This seemed to pre dominate. It is probably due to the imita tion of Bichardson, the designer of the Alle gheny County Court House. So popular has the style become that it truthfully can be distinctively called of the Bichardson school, which is pure American architect ure. Four of these designs, by Messrs. Osterling, Steen, Eraser and Orth may generally be classed in this school, as each of their plans present features resembling the massive temple of Justice. Again the secularized, or classic, with, however, no instance of the pure classic, was noticed frequently among the designs. Some of them were strikingly effective. Pittsburg comes to the front in the line of meritorious and attractive work, and Architecturally Pure and Simple. her architect's efforts compare favorably with the great minds of the United States. The plan designed and drawn by F. J. Cooper, of Pittsburg, attracted a great share of attention. His effort is partly classic, but being noticeably original and different from those about it Ta.t Variety or Styles. All the different styles of architecture from the beginning of history to the present day are represented. Simplicity is a rarity offered only by a few of the contestants. The majority seem to haye in mind an outside display with a high tower, a panorama of sharp corners and a coat of red paint to be added later on. The buildings pictured would suit all purposes irom a county jail to a church. Some would make good libraries, others would not The number is so great, how ever, that the committee cannot help but make an excellent selection.
