rSrECIAI. TELECEAM TO THE DISPATCH.!
Columbus, O., Jan. 1. To-night the
situation is decidedly Shcrmanish, and all
day long the chances for the Senator's re
election were constantly improving. In
fact, with well-informed observers of the
fight it was evident the forces of the ex
Governor were approaching dissolution.
The Governor and friends tried in vain to
stem the rapidly rising Sherman current,
but the efforts were all unavailing, and the
Sherman boom swept on in an almost unre
sisted force.
Up to a late hour to-night there was one
continuous stream of people going to call
on Ohio's great statesman and the nation's
ablest financier. People from every nook
and corner of the State, old and young, solid
business men and hard-working Republi
cans, anxious only for the party and the
country's good, filed up the stairs to pay their
respects to the man whose public services
have done so much to strengthen the Re
publican party and put the country on the
broad road to an unexampled prosperity.
The Fates .Against an Inflated Boom.
The Foraker men and their chief tried in-
vain to create a boom for the ex-Governor,
but the fates were against the movement.
The very air seemed Shermanish, anil the
veteran Senator's good qualities, his labors
for his party and his country, and his anni
hilation of Peflferism and fiatism in the late
campaign, formed the leading topics of dis
cussion in the corridors and parlors.
If there had ever been any doubt that
Senator Sherman would succeed himself, all
doubt was dispelled to-day by the uprising
that seized theNeilHouse and overwhelmed
the candidacy of Mr. Foraker. It looked
as if the solid and best working Republi
cans of Ohio had feared that Foraker
would by some conp-de-etat defeat the Sen
ator, and had rallied in force to sustaiu the
man whose achievements of the paat were
sure precursors of greater Republican vic
tories iu the future
A Disgraceful New Tear Sceis.
One of the most disgraceful episodes to
day v ere "a set of political heelers from
Cleveland, making up in brazen effrontery
what they lacked in numbers and character,
shadowing and tagging around after the
Cuyahoga delegation to keep it from Sher
man. These fellows made up in loud brag
gadocio, abuse and billingsgate what they
lacked in argument and tact
The friends of Mr. Eoraker put in most
of the day denouncing solid Republicans
and brave old soldiers who chanced to be
Federal officeholders because they were here
to snstain the Sherman canvass. While
they were reviling and abusing these Fed
eral public functionaries they have brought
up from Cincinnati its Mayor and half the
gang city government of the Queen City,
with its big Tammany-Cox retinue, to howl
and blow for their man and cause.
As a big, broad-shouldered man, with the
appearance of a farmer, remarked to-night:
"The Eepublican party of Ohio and its
State government are not going to be turned
over to the Tammany of Cincinnati, and
neither will it be allowed to organize and
control this Legislature for its gang pro--jects.
Big Gains for Sherman's Banks.
There were two big gains to the Sherman
ranks to-day. These were Representatives'
Hale, of Summit, and Axline, of Ferrr.
The latter has been confidently claimed by
the supporters of Foraker, and the former
was considered doubtful. They announced
they would vote for Sherman aud for Laylin
for Speaker.
It was reported on the street to-night
that Dunn, of Morgan, would declare for
Mr. Sherman. Mr. Dunn, while friendly
10 the Senator, will await the House caucus
before declaring.
These accessions to the Sherman army,
with nn loss, caused the Sherman forces to
be jubilant to-night Ex-Governor Fora
ker net er before had such a fight a? this.
The fight for .Speakership is not entirely on
the Senatorial lines, as some Foraker men
will support I.aylin and some Sherman men
vote for McGrcw. Still, Mr. Laylin is a
strong Shermnn man, and his election is
generally conceded, and will only render
more certain Sherman's renomination.
Both sides are chary about names of mem
ber certain. At the Sherman headquarters
to-night they claimed the election of the
Senator by 57 votes, not including a half
dozen classed as doubf fuL
Foraker's Protest Against Officeholders.
One important event of to-day has been
'the 'general protest of Foraker's friends
against the alleged interference of the
officeholders of the national administra
tion in the interest of Senator Sherman.
Editor "William Binkley, of Sydney, who is
one cf Foraker's leading managers, is par
ticularly severe. He said to-day:'
It la simply outrageous that this army of
Federal officeholders should Invade Colum
bus and attempt to dictate the Senatoishis.
It is a shame npon our citizenship that the
national administration should lend its in
fluence to a State affair or this kind
ana permit all the appointees to come
hero under Government pay and take a hand
in the matter. The disposition of all tho local
Federal appointments In this State has been
under a refrren KT-stem. Senator Sherman
tl appointing the referee in each locality and
that man dictating the appointments In his
'section of the State. To-day ne find these
referees and all the men who have profited
'under their anpolntments here like a great
"army working for Sherman's re-election.
Those men are-reinforced by a multitude or
officeholders at 'Washington, until there are
three or lour Federal officeholders on the
ground to every momber of the General As
sembly. Secretary of the Treasury Foster
would have done well to follow the salutary
lesson of propriety given by Secretary
Blaine when the latter wrote a letter refus
ing: to participate In tho contest. I say now,
as a man n lio knows the result of this Inter
ference by President Harrison a man who
cannot carry Ohio if nominated next spring.
Sherman's Reply to tho Criticism.
A visit to Senator Sherman's head-
success and disposed to make merry of the
complaints of Governor Foraker's friends
of the impropriety of officeholders express
ing their personal preferences iu the con
tests. "The friends of Governor Foraker com-
rplain, Senator, that undue outside influ
ences are being exerted in your behalf, and
point particularly to the array of Federal
officeholders vho are working in your in
terest Have you anything to say to
this?" The Senator replied to this query:
, I can only say that all the former office
holders under Governor Foraker aro foy
him also. Nearly everybody that ever
served under him seems to be laboring In
his behalf. 1 do not seo that there Is any
difference in this respect. That people con
nected with the national administration,
thatppoplo outside the State are ncrsonallv
for me should, it seems to me. be an inci
dent In my favor rather than against
me. That people outside of Ohio and
throughout the nation are for ino is not n
subject of reproa'ch for which any apologies
aro necessary. It shows simply that out
side the State of Ohio there is practically no
difference of opinion. That is alt
Too Close to Be Comfortable.
Another correspondent writes: There
'will be 03 Republicans in the Senatorial
caucus, and of this number it is conceded by
the opposite side that Sherman and Foraker
each have about 42 or 43 votes definitely
pledged. Of the eight or nine non-committal
each side makes positive claims of
having secret pledges of fully two-thirds
the doubtful, but as these gentlemen them
selves refuse to give any public declaration
of their intentions, and state they are
waiting to hear fully from their constitu
ents, no one can positively predict how
they will ultimately vote. This is the sit
uation concisely expressed, and no cool
headed politician to-night denies it or as
sumes to predict the result until these
doubtful gent'emen have made an open de
claration. George Cox, of Cincinnati,one of Foraker's
chief lieutenants, said this evening:
Tho House caucus to nominate a Speaker
and minor officials, and theSenatc caucus to
nominate a President pro tem and subordi
nate officers, -nill both be held to-morrow
afternoon and evening. After they are over
the doubtful members will all promptly de
clare themselves on the Senatorial question,
and tho American public will know by to
morrow night who is to succeed John Sher
man. We claim tli:it it nill be .Tnsnnh It.
I Foraker, and we base this claim upon per
sonal assurances ie havo leccived from
over half tho members ot the General As
sembly. Sherman's Friends Very Confident.
Avisit to the Sherman headquarters late
to-night iouud his followers equally cheer
ful in the assurance of success. "We aro
not giving figures or,iEmes,"said Chairman
Hahn, of the State Central Committee,
Senator Sherman's chief lieutenant, "but
we claim the nomination of John Sherman.
"We already have pledges enough to warrant
this statement, and expect an increased
strength from the few remaining doubtful
members."
The doubt surrounding the position of
Mr. Thomas, of Stark county, whose nom
ination is said to have been due to the For
aker influence, leads many persons to
believe that the gentleman's actions are due
to the influence of Major McKinley, and
that the Governor-elect is taking a hand, in
a quiet way, against Governor Foraker.
Mr. Thomas is prominent in labor circles,
and it is claimed that he owes his seat to the
personal efforts of John P. Jones, President
of the State organization of United Mine
AVorkers, a man whose preference for For
aker is equally well known. However this
may be, Mr. Thomas has just declared him
self unequivocally for Sherman, and many
of the Foraker papers of the State and not
a few of the ex-Governor's supporters here
declare that Major IfcKinley has influenced
the course of the representative of his
county.
McKinley Not Blamed by Toraker.
This growing storm was promptly checked
to-night by George Cox. "This report does
great injustice to Governor McKinley,"
said he, "and I want to sav now that For
aker and his friends do not hold McKinley
responsible for Thomas' actions. We be
lieve the Governor has maintained through
out a position of strict neutrality, and he
should not be hastily accused of "interfer
ence. He has been fair and frank, and has
taken no part"
Governor Foraker's speech to the dele
gation of Cleveland business men who
called on him to-day, was very character
istic. Among other things he said:
This contest Is entirely friendly. It is
'among ourselves, and not only is it confined
to Republicans, hut properly it is confined
to the Republicans of Ohio alone. Ap
plause. 1 am simple-minded enouzh to be
lieve that tho Republicans of Ohio are capa
ble of determining for themselves Dy whom
they want to be, and should be, represented
In the Senate of the United States, and that
It is little short ofimpcrtinence to have out
side people and Interests dictating what we
shall do. Applause. But, however this
may be, when the contest has been ended,
the result, no matter what that may be,
should be cheerfully accepted by every Re
publican. Applause. I know, and "it is
with no little pride that I say It, that every
supporter of mine wilt so accpt it, without
iega.ru ui wneiuer is results favorably to me
or not. Applause. In other words, it is
with no little pride that I realize that no
supporter of mine in this conrest has pnt
forth the claim thatmvelection is necessary
to keep my friends loyal to the Republican
party. Cheers and applause.
Frond or His Kind or Support.
It is with pardonable pleasure and pride,
I trust, that I am able to say that, no matter
who succeeds now, every Republican who
honors me with his support will be loyal to
the Republican party and its standard
bearer in the great campaign that is now be
fore us, anu in every otuer campaign that Is
hereafter to come. Applause, and cries 'of
"That's right I That's right!" I am proud
of one other thing, and that is that no Demo
cratic newspaper, either in Ohio or in the
United States, Is supporting me in this con
test TAnnlausel. and that outside ofnnrsnnnl
fiicnds and acquaintances, the whole Demo
cratic party Is in hostile array against me.
Cheers. There Is much consolation In this
fact. It will keep me clear from all em
barrassments with respect to our Democratic
friends on account of "Senatorial courtesy."
Langhter and applause.
Representative Welsh.of Knox county,
still maintains his peculiar position in the
contest, and is hilariously endeavoring to
create a McKinley boom, greatly to the em
barrassment of the Governor-elect He has
announced positively that he will never
support Sherman, and asserts that the
proper solution of the question is the elec
tion of Major McKinley, who, he says, is a
national character, is clean and honest and
able, and has not had any part in the ani
mosities of the present campaign.
The United States Senatorial caucus will
not be held until Wednesday next, but
there is no doubt the contest will be prac
tically se.Jed before that, and that 'the
caucus wnl be but a mere formal affair.
' J". P. Mitchell. Chairman of the Legisla-
tive Committee of Franklin county Alli

A Sherman Man for Thirty Tears, He Thinks
He Can Now Be a Forakerlte The Sena
tor Makes a Sensation, Too, by Break
ing Into Hamilton County's Ranks.
Columbus, Jan. 2. 1 a m. The Sena
torial contest unexpectedly took a sensa
tional turn late to-night, when ex-Governor
Foraker made a speech criticising the in
terference of the national administration,
and declaring for James G. Blaine for the
Presidency.
A delegation of several hundred admirers
of the ex-Governor marched to the Neil
House, and after cheering their candidate
vociferously, proceeded in a body through
the corridors and up the stairs to the For
aker headquarters. There were lond cries
of -Speech! speech!" and the Governor
gracefully responded to the invitation, as
follows:
My fellow Republicans, somebody said
about three months ago tbftt he would not
"scramble" for a re-relection. Laughter.
It is my impression that he has changes his
mind. Laughter, applause. At least, that
is indicated by the presence in this city to-
nigiir, not only Dy all the ttepresentatlves,
by appointment, that hold office within the
borders of our State, but all who can be com
manded from all the confines of the United
States. Cheers. Wo havo. In this fight,
to contend upon our side against every
thing, as I once said before from grand
father's lint to Babv McKce renewed
cheers, but. acalnst all, wo shall win tho
fhrht Applause. I know whereof I speak,
and I hesitate not to mako the prediction,
without any qualification whatsoever.
Tremendous applause We dldnot seek this
fight Voice. "That's risht1'!. but when It was
thrust upon us wo did not hesitate to accept
the challenge Apnlanse. Whenanybody
wants a fight he can get It if he comes ask
ing for it. Laughter and cheers. We aro
"in It:" weaioin it earnestly: we are in it
for success; but we are in it with good
nature Applause and voices: "That's right,
that's right'' and with good natuie we can
afford to be "in it," for we nro "in It" in tho
proper sense or the term. Great applause.
No Long Faces on His Side.
There are no long faces on this side of the
Neil House. Applause. And, my fellow
citizens and fellow Republicans, there is
one thought about it, somotlling I am proud
of no man who is honoring me with his
support In this contest Is saying that
I must be elected to savo tho Re
publican party. Gieat applause. I
don't want the support of any man in this
contest who would not rather have John
Shermnn to be re-elected than nny Democrat
on tno lace 01 tne eartn. Tremendous ap
plause. ram a Republican from tho top of
my head to the soles of my feet. Applause.
I am for the Republican party above any
man. Applause. My own interest is as
nothing compared with tho interest of this
grand old organization, to which we aro
justly so-proud to belong. Applause
And so, my fellow Republicans, no matter
what may bo the result of this contest: lot
defeat como if that be so willed; every man
of my following will be following the banner
of tho Republican party in the next contest to
tho last man. Cheers. 1 so believe in the
principles and doctrines of Republicanism
that I could not bo 11 Democrat nny more
than I could steel my neighbor's horse np
plause, and Icouldnbtsulkorplay theMug
wnmpif I wanted to. Applause. Andthcio
is nothing on tho face of tho earth that
would make me want to. Now, mj- fellow
Citizens, with good will to everybody, with
good will particularly to every Republican,
with an eye single to the good of our gieat
mrty in the great national contest 'opening
before us, let us go forward with earnest
ness, but with charity for every man who
may differ with us. Applause
A bherman'Man tor Thirty Tears.
I havo no ill will toward any Republican
bs-canse, perchance, he should favor Senator
Sherman instead of my self. Applause I
have been favoring Senator Sherman myself
for the last 30 years. Applause. Twice
havo I nominated him for the Presidency,
and ench time with words of earnest com
mendation and praise, but not one word
did I utter that I did not mean and
believe, and not one word would I retract
now. Cries of "good! good:'" He has been
a great man, and is a great man yet. Ho has
rendered distinguished services, his record
is illustrious. Ho is all that is implied by
tho term "grand." Applause But my
fellow citizens if the Republicans of Ohio
should happen to take the notion to say he
has been there long enough, and to have me
go there to tako his place, I am
not going to stand in the way of their doing
so. Applause. I do not feel called upon
to do anything of that kind, and if the Re
publicans of Ohio should tako that notion,
nobody will accept the result more gra.
ciously than Senitor Sherman himself. Ap-
ruause.j xi vney suouia uo 01 a cunerent
opinion, and think he ought to go back, I
shall endeavor to accommodate myself to
the situation, and in the next battleyou will
find me, as heretofore, shoulder to shoulder
with you for tho standard bearer, whomso
ever he may be, helping all I can In tbo
presentation of our principles, and doing all
that it may be in my power to do to win
success for our great party and lor the good
and glory of the United States. Tremond
ous applause. 1 do not know who
this next standard beaier may be.
Our present President has given us a good
administration, but if the people of Ohio
should take a notion that James G. Blaine
should be the nominee great applause, we
will try and accept that, too, and if he
should bo named we will triumphantly elect
mm. luneers.j Ana. wnen no snail nave
been elected, wc will havo in the White
House the greatest ot Tall living Americans.
Tremendous applause
Sherman Breaks Into Hamilton.
Great excitement was created late to
night by the announcement that Repre
sentative William H. Dicks, of Cincinnati,
Hamilton county, had openly declared for
Shermau. Mr. Dicks' action was regarded
as most significant, from the fact that it
meant a break in the Hamilton county dele
gation,which has heretofore been claimed as
solid for Foraker. To definitely settle
the question of his allegiance Mr. Dicks
himself called at the Sherman headquarters
and personally pledged his support to the
Senator. "I have decided to support you,
senator, said lie, -ana it is time every
body should know where I stand."
This settles the question of Dicks' prefer
ence, bnt Foraker's friends state to-night
that they have never regarded him as more
than a doubtful man, and that they will
have the voles necessary for a nomination
without his support.
Several prominent citizens of Cleveland
and Cuyahcga county, headed by Hon.
Mark Hanna, called upon Senator Sherman
this evening and assured him that he would
receive the substantial support of the Cuy
ahoga county delegation, despite the re
ports to the contrary. The Senator re
sponded: It gives me great pleasure, gentlemen, to
meet you. I am glad of this assurance of
Cleveland's nearty support as lepresented
by many prominent and influential business
men. Applausel 31y past experience
leads me to believe that when Cleveland
promises anything she always fulfils her
obligations. Applause. This is a friendly
contest, and after it is over we will still bo
Republicans nnd always remain Repub
licans. Cheers.
There was great excitement 111 the Foraker
camp at 1 o'cloek this morning, when ex
tended interviews were given out pledging
Representatives L. C. Reeves, of Ashtabula,
ana Williams, of Noble county, to the sup
port of Foraker. The Foraker managers
claim this insures his nomination.

All the Appropriations to Be Brought
Where They Can Be
WATCHED AND TALKED ABOUT.
Permanent and Indefinite Accounts That
Creep Upward
TO BE FIXED SO THEY CAN BE CUT
SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO TIIE DISr-ATCIT.
Washington, D. C, Jan. 1 Congress
man Joseph D. Sayers, of Texas, one of the
leading Democrats on the Appropriations
Committee, has prepared for presentation
to the House next Tuesday a bill to
repeal certain laws- now on the
statute books making permanent and in
definite appropriations of the public
revenue. Under these permanent
appropriations, millions of dollars
are expended every -year by the
various executive departments, not in con
formity with the constant review and sanc
tion of Congress, as is the case with all
other appropriations, but simply according
to the knowledge or ignorance possessed by
the Government officials who npnly the
money as to the necessities' of the objects to
which it is applied.
Among the long lists of objects of perma
nent appropriation which the bill is de
signed to reduce to the same footing as ordi
nary appropriations are the Customs service,
supervisors of Federal elections, army and
mail transportation over the Pacific rail
roads, salaries of retired United States
Judges, tiie steamboat inspection service,
the Marine Hospital service, the expenses
ot regulating immigration, expenses of the
shipping service, arming and equipping the
militia of the various States, and a large
number of claims against tae United States
Government
An Attack In Behalf of Principle.
Many of these objects of themselves are
admittedly proper in every way, but Mr.
Sayers' bill is directed not at the objects,
but at the principle involved, which has led
to dangerous results, and if not checked,
will lead to more. These appropriations,
unlike all others, are not subjected year
after vear to the rieid scrutiny of Congress,
but they take care of themselves and cannot
be molested without the current agreement
of both houses of Congress and the Execu
tive. Last year the sum of the permanent ap
propriations, outside of the reach of Con
gress, was SHV.OOO.OOO. There is an in
creasing tendency at this day in all popular
and representative governments toward a
strict parliamentary control" of affairs.
While this theory is presumably more ad
vanced, however, in this country than else
where, yet, in point of fact, the 'existence
of such permanent authr.'tty; lor the expenditure-
of -atiirly c-loutth'.iT Ifiu
nation's entire annual revenues, without
the examination and express approval of
Congress each year,, proves that the
tendency in this country is altogether false
in practice
All Accounts Will Be Scrutinized.
But the presentation of this bill and the
determination on the part of Mr. Sayers
and others to press it to success of the usnal
consideration at this session is evidence that
a strong purpose has developed among the
representatives of the people to submit the
whole expenditures of the Government, as
nearly as may be possible, to the severest
possible examination and analysis in future
The subicct of permanent appropriations.
to people who are interested in the -question
of the sum total of appropriations
made for the support of the Government
from year to year, is an nnknown quantity,
as for instance, in figuring up the total of
appropriations made at the time for the
fiscal year 1891, a reference to the official
book f estimates submitted by the Trea
sury Department shows that under the
head of permanent appropriations it was
estimated that there would be expended
during that fiscal year the sum of 5101,000,
000. Grrat Growth In Twelve Months.
Twelve months later, strange to say, in
presenting to Congress the annual budget of
estimates for 1892, the Secretary of the
Treasury estimated that the expenditures
made and to be made under the permanent
appropriations on account of that same
fiscal year 1891 would be 8120,000,000, a
clear jump of 25,000,000 above the original
calculation, and 12 months later still, in
submitting the book of estimates for the
fiscal year of 1S93 to the present Congress,
the Secretary now places the expenditures
under permanent appropriations, actual
and estimated, for that same fiscal vear 1891
at $147,500,000, or a plump sum of "546,500,
000 in excess of what Congress was origin
ally advised would be required for 1891.
In the same way a similar disparity be
tween the original calculation and the
actual result oecnrs in the expenditure of
permanent appropriations for any other fis
cal year.
in justice to tne J.reasurv Department,
however, it should be said that subsequent
to the preparation of the original estimates
for 1891 and their submission to Congress,
that body created certain additional appro
priations chargeable against that fiscal year,
notably the national bank note redemption
account, and the refund of the direct tax to
the States.
Mr. Sayers Explains His Bill.
Mr. Sayers, speaking to-day of the cir
cumstances which led him to prepare the
bill and to favor its enactment, said:
Somo of these permanent appropriations
which It is proposed by my bill to repeal
were made so long ago as the close of tho
last century, and they havo run along unin
terruptedly, without ohange or alteration,
ever.since until now. Outside the particular
clerks in tho Treasury who keen these accounts,-and
tho immediate beneficiaries of
them, probably not half a dozen men in the
entire country dream of the existence of ahy
such authorized drafts upon tho public
treasury, liy bill proposes to repeal, after
the fiscal year 1893, about 121 differ
ent appropriations heretofore known ns
permanent specific and permanent
indefinite appropriations, together with
a large number of special items for which
Congress has, from time to time, made spe
cific provisions that have been construed to
be permanent, and con tinning many of these
appropriations are now obsolete, as I said,
or Inoperative, because the original appro
priations have been exhausted or the bal
ances have been, under ruling of the depart
ment, covered into the surplus fund, or be
cause the purposes for which they were
made have ceaeed to exist.
Permanent Appropriations to Repeat
Expenditures, in fact, are reported to have
been mado during tho fiscal years 1888 and
18t9 under less than one-half of the whole
number that the bill will repeal, and in the
aggregato fora little moro than $12,500,000 for
each of those years. In addition to these
expenditures, however, the bill will repeal
two permanent appropriations made by tho
last Congress, namely: for the payment of
the bounty on sugar, under which the ex
penditures, actual nnd estimated, for 1(2
are reported at J9.000.000. and the national
bank note redemption account, under which
the expenditures for 1893 are estimated at
516,000,000.
The real effect of tho bill Is not to repeal J
nny law for which a permanent appropria
tion is made, but rather to transform the
diameter of such appropriations fiom per
manent and indefinite to annual and specific
ones, that will require in their making tbo

She Will Be Heard In.
New York, Jan. 1. Special. Mme.
Adelina Patti and her husband, Signor
Nicolini, and her pet dog reachedNew York
to-day, on the steamship City of Paris,
little Prince Ricca, her pet dog, sat on
Mme. Patti's knee, this afternoon, in her
parlor at the Hotel Windsor, and looked
miserable. He is not agood sailor. Signor
Nicolini didn't look particularly happy,
cither, but Mme. Patti was cheerful enough
for both of them. She is--a.iprononnced
brunette this" year, and she looked as if she
had thoroughly enjoyed her rough voyage.
Mme. Patti has been singing a good deal
since she wa3 last in New York, and she has
returned in the best of health and voice.
"What am I going to sing?" she asked.
"Why, nothing new. I shall sing in con
cert with my company, and will sing sev
eral acts irom several operas. My reper
tory on this tour will include the first act of
'Semiramide' and the first act of 'La Travi
ata.' I have heard some new operas, but
none that I wanted to add to my list. My
company on this tour will consist of Mme
Fabbri, prima donna contralto; Mr. Gaille,
tenor; Signor del Puente, barytone; Signor
Novaro, basso, and Signor Arditi, conduc
tor. We are not going to give more than
two concerts in any city, and our tour will
extend as far west as San Francisco. In May
we will return to England. There are no
more concerts given at the Academy of
Music here, now, are there? I do so love
that hall."
Mme. Patti said that when she returned
home in the spring she was going to appear
in some amateur theatricals. In fact she
had already done some work on them. She
will travel in a private car, and from New
York she will go to Boston. She will give
one concert in Salt Lake City, and will sing
in most of the large cities of "the West.

A MAD H0ESE EXECUTED.
He First Kicked On: a Side of His1 Owner's
Barn, Though.
MlLFORD, CONN., Jan. L Special A
few days before Thanksgiving a horse
owned by Bailey & Co., was bitten by a
mad dog. The dog was shot after biting a
number of other animals, and the horse's
injuries dressed. A few days ago the horse
showed symptoms of madness and bit and
kicked at anything within reach, at length
becoming so violent that no one dared ap
proach him. Yesterday he succeeded in
kicking away the heavy stall in which he
was tied, and after breaking loose, started
on arampage around the barn. Everything
within reach of his heels was demolished in
short order.
The horse finally became so violent that
it was decided to kill him. Last night the
horse was shot and killed, but not until it
had kicked out one side of its owner's barn.
The animal was valued at?300. Itis thought
that other animals in the town have been
bitten by the dog, and fears are entertained
that they will go mad.

Reach the Coal Creek Mines.
Nashville, Jan. 1. Special The
military force which left here last night for
the Coal Creek Mines reached its destina
tion to-day. They were joined at Knoxville
by 15 members of the Queen City Guards.
Thus far there have been no demonstrations
on the part of the miners, but on the arrival
of the convicts it will require the strictest
watch to prevent trouble. It is understood
that if the miners offer resistance it will be
in the style of the bushwhacker, and not in
a body, as heretofore.
B. A. Jenkins. President of the Tennessee
Coal Company, whot.e mines Mere occupied
by convicts at Briceville, stated to-day that
he didn't know anything about the plans of

vacancy caused by the death
Plumb. The appointment was not a sur
prise, as Perkins has been regarded as the
leading candidate since Monday.
Every county in the Third district which
Mr. Perkins represented in Congress from
1882 to 1890, sent strong delegations here in
his behalf. It was known that Governor
Humphrey intended to make the race for
Congress in the Third district this fall, and
for this reason, it was recognized that Per
kins was a strong candidate."
The Governor Explains Things.
In speaking of the appointment to-night
the Governor said: "None of the charges
brought against Perkins, that he was em
ployed as a lobbyist when the Sac and Fox
lands were opened for settlers, were sub
stantiated, and he wa3 evidently stronger
with the people than any other applicant.
It was necessary to appoint a man who
could go right ahead with the work under
taken by Senator Plumb, and I was con
convinced that by reason of his acquaint
ance ond experience in Washington, Per
kins was the best man. "
Since his arrival in this State, 22 years
ago, Mr. Perkins has been a prominent
factor in its politics. He was born in
Rochester, Lorain county, Ohio, October
18, 1842t and graduated from Knox College,
Galesburg, 111., in 18G2. He enlisted "in
Company D, Eighty-third Illinois Volun
teer Infantry. After the battle of Stone
river he was detailed tc assist in the com
mand of a company of mounted men for
special guerrilla duty, and in December,
18G3,-was appointed, captain of Company
C, Sixteenth Colored Infantry. He was
mustered out of the army in Nashville, in
May, 18G6, and went to Illinois, beginning
the study of law in Ottawa.
Perkins' Removal to Kansas.
After being admitted to practice, he re
moved to Oswego, this State, in April, 1869,
and has since made his home there. That
spring he was appointed County Attorney,
and held that position until his successor
was elected. He was elected Probate Judge
in November, 1870, nnd held that office un
til he was appointed District Judge of the
Eleventh Judicial district in February,
1873. In November of the same year he
was elected to that office. He wa3 re
elected in 1874 and again in 1878, and elected
a member of Congress in November. 1882.
He was one of the famous "Big Four" Con
gressmen Morrill, Peters. Perkins and
Hanback elected nt large-in that district
He was re-elected from his Congressional
district in 1884, 188G and 1888, but in 1890
he was defeated by B. H. Clover, the Al
liance candidate. Mr. Perkins had moved
his family to Washington, and one of the
charges made against him was that he had
lost his residence in this State.
AFTEB HEB HUSBAND'S SCALP.'
A Chester County Postmaster's Wife Wants
the Old Man's Oflice.
West Chester; Pa, Jan. 1. Special
The most novel postoffice contest ever
witnessed in Chester county is now on in
Kennett Square. John C. Walton, the
present incumbent, is a Democrat, and
his Republican wife is seeking
to dethrone him and be appointed in his
place. The plucky woman is very eager to
win, and if she docs not win it will not be
because she has left any stone unturned in
her struggle. A number of prominent local
Republican politicians have rallied under
the banner of the ambitious wife. The
office is worth ?1,600 a year.
Mrs. Walton was here to-day, accompan
ied by Cyrus Jackson, a stalwart Republi
can, and'interviewed several gentlemen who
are known to be close to Congressman Rob
inson, with a view to interesting them in
her behalf. Mrs. Walton comes from a
Republican family and has herself always
been outspoken in her zeal for that
party. Her husband is just as good a Dem
ocrat. He was appointed postmaster by
President Cleveland. His term of office
will end in Mav next. It is thought that
Congressman Robinson's gallontry will be
the means of landing the female applicant
in the desired position.

MEMORIES OP THE GREAT FRENCHMAN
fTROM A STAFF CORRESPONDENT.
New York, Jan. 1. Madame Marie
Geraldy-Del Sarte, daughter of the great
Del Sarte Del Sarte fltte, to adopt a French
fashion has decided to come to Pittsburg
immediately upon concluding a series of
addresses and parlor entertainments in New
York, and prior to visiting either Phila
delphia or Boston, whose polite literary
coteries earnestly desire her. Under the
sponsorship of Mrs. William H. Havemeyer,
the distinguished Frenchwoman has been
presented to New York society, and for the
time being is queen in that fickle, fashiona
ble court. Dehartism a la Russell, a la

Del Sarte's Medallion by His Daughter.
Madame Del Sarte, who is at present a
member of Mrs. Havemeyer's household,
than even marked the early days of the ar
rival of the infant Cleveland.
Madame Del Sarfc cannot speak ons
word of English; bnt as New York society
conveys it3 fashionable ideas largely
through tho medium of her native tongue,
it will hardly be any detriment to the cause.
The Pittsburg engagement begins on Jan
uary 11, when, under the patronage of that
city's society, Madame Del Sarte
will teach the method of having
the body en rapport witlf 'the
mind. In Boston, Philadelphia and Pitts
burg she goes to Pittsburg under tho
auspices of Prof. Parker and the French
Mission recently established there an in
terpreter will not be necessary,more than in
New York; but when Madame Del Sarte
visits the Western cities, as she afterwards
intends to, some one conversant with both
English and French will accompany her.
A Pen Picture of Madame Del Sarte.
The first personal interview Madame
Del Sarte has ever given to an American
newspaper was granted to a representative of
THEDisPATCn, who visited heras soon as
the Pittsburg tour was arranged. Mrs.Have
meyer was present with her guest Being
a capital French scholar herself, through
her kindness and that of Prof. Henri Rollin
Parker, of Pittsburg, the conversation was
not so limited as it otherwise must have
been. The tall, grave; retiring woman
whomyou meet is as unlike the typical
Frenchwoman of feathers, coquetry and
fuss. such as wc hear of in
book, as it is possible to conceive.
Madame Del Sarte is in mourning .for her
mother, who died last spring. She wears
over a black gown a heavy, black Cone
mara cloak and cape, and on her head a
small black bonnet, covered with a
heavy crape veil that reaches to
her waist She is taller than the
average and large accordingly not inclining
to embonpoint, but simply large Her hair,
which is straight and black, is put up some
where under her bonnet and is cut in a
straight fringe across her brow. The face
is not pretty, the features are too large for
that, and her complexion is rather swarthy,
with a good rich color in her cheeks, as well
as a pair of dark, earnest eyes and a very
tender mobile mouth. To Del
Sarte pere she owes her nose,
and the medallion herewith of him,
made by his daughter, shows it to have
been a strong feature, and they say her face
greatly resembles his, but the sever
ity in the man's has become ten
derness in the woman's. Her smile
is winning and half appealing
as though she would say, "I am thousands
of miles from home: mal de mcr and the At
lantic separates me from husband and fam
ily, and I want you to be good to me."
Madame Del Sarte, you see, is hardly fash
ionable as we know the word.
She Was Her Father's Model.
Madame Del Sarte explained briefly her
right to be considered the only true ex
ponent of Delsartism. "I was my father's
principal pupil," she said, "what you would
call his model, and the one on whom he al
ways experimented and by whom he illus
trated his "teachings. I cannot remember
when I began to do this; in fact, I
began before recollection was developed,
and then, besides being my teacher, he
was my father, and thus I lived as well as
learned Delsartism. The greatest orators
and clergymen of France and its greatest
actors were his pupils and friends. The men
who taught religion came to him to learn
that religion, like music, poetry and paint
ing, yielded the richest harvest, when its
nurture was drawn from nature.
"My father went to nature for every
thing. In his early days he came to Paris
from the north of France, where his father,
a doctor, resided. He went into commerce,
but shortly gave it up in disgust, and hav
ing leanings for a life in a higher plane he
adopted the stage. Later he discovered
and developed the system now known by
his name, and his house became the resort
of the most noted men and women of
Paris."
Madame Del Sarte frankly acknowledged
that in France her fathers system had
largely fallen into neglect, but she knew
that in America'it was thriving, and it was
because of thisrthat her present visit was
made- id America.',.- She knew that the
teachers of Delsartism in America, well
meaning or otherwise, were rather better
apostles than they were disciples. At the
request, of her American, friends, and ia
