TELroRArnrc t.ittfb.1 Bureau or The Disr-ATcir. I f Washimjto. D. C Feb. 2L From hints that were dropped here and $ lere to-day by the managers, it is evident tat a composition of the struggle between le silver and the anti-silver factions of the ouse majority is anticipated, and that a ash between the silver and the tariff bills ill be avojded. la expectation of this, 'r. Holman has hitherto delayed the call g of a caucus in accordance with the amerously signed request circulated by is energetic Mr. Harter, of Ohio. He de red to confer with Speaker Crisp and Sir. pringcr, both of whom were absent, before suing the call. Up to this time the matter has been only isually mentioned, as Messrs. Crisp and pringer were pressed with other business pon their return. Mr. Bland assured mc positively this fiernoon that he would submit to no uncer tin promises in regard to the treatment of is bill. There must be no juggling. The ommittpeon Rules., must formally andab alutelv fix a date for the consideration of ic bill or he would make a' -fight on the. oor lor its immediate consideration in itagonism to any of the tariff bills. Anticipations of War Are Evident. It was evident the man of prolific silver repositions anticipated that the Committee n Rules would accept the inevitable, and x a date for the silver bill, recognizing tat it is a question that will not down, he arguments tbat have .been used with Ir. Bland to induce him to abandon his etcrmination to force the silver issue have lcluded. everything short of threats and ulldozing. It has been urged npon him that lie is but irnisliing campaign material for the Re ublicans, besides promoting dissension mong the Democrats, and all without the ;asi hope of enacting a tree coinage law, s President Harrison will never give his tgnaturc to such an act; but Mr. Bland is bdurate and unrelenting, and insists that "the bill fails of enactment it will not be le fault of the Democratic House, and that e will at leat compel his own party to ike some positie stand on the question. Mr. Springer is much incensed at the lck of discipline exhibited by Mr. Bland, nt is forced to pocket his indignation, as '.land can be bronght to terms only by reaty, and not by war. In estimation 1VI11 Now Be Slade Mr. Tarsney, Chairman of the Committee n Labor ot the House, to-day got through is resolution giving him the privilege of oing into the investigation of the labor uestion in connection with the many bills eferred to his committee. For the first tune since Congress recog ized the labor clement as a distinct class by he appointment of a Committee on Labor, ' ome one has ben aroused to the import uce ot investigating questions that are rcught forward by bills that have been in roduced by this and that member, either y the request of labor organizations, or for he purpose of tricking the labor element nd-securing its vote. Possibly Mr. Tarsney expects by his in cstigation to weed out the crank bills and he demagogic bills, rather than to gain int ormatlon that will assist at the passage of ny of the measures in his committee, but he inquiry cannot fail to jive opportunity o the Federation of Labor, the Knights of .Abor and other organizations to present iews which Trill be quite new to the awycrs who compose the Committee on abor. -It may seem somewhat grotesque hat"th5 millions of the laboring masses rhcKhave-bad much !oy in recent years bout1 "fraternity and peace and all "that, hall come for relief to a class who exist ipon the dissensions of humanity, but it is . fact which the labor orators must accept jid make the most of. Doubtless Mr. Tar& ieys investigation will produce some novel iterafure. - Springer's AdilrcisDue-loSk Bad Scare. Mr. Springer's address to the pubjio, was ;iven to the press to-nisht. It appears to e a practical declaration that Cleveland is iut of the race for the Presidental nomina, ion, as a result of a consultation with his ind Senator Palmer's friends while he was m the great junketing trip to Chicago. It s due to a bad scare. Mr. Palmer and Mr. Springer have had ecret information that iu the event of its econiing manifest that Cleveland can not e nominated, theifriends of the ex-Presi-lentwould throwall their strength and in luence to farmer Morrison, who has had a nug corner in tie; Inter-State Commerce vomniission lor several vears. Mr. SpringerXiad .bean jn cnthusistic 'velandadtJcate until he became assured of this recreancy on the part of the friends of the ex-President and Palmer was also for Cleveland after Fslmer, but to find these people who had been so faithfully served, flirting with Morrison, a veritable arch enemy, was not to be endured. So there was a conference, and the conference decided that a Palmtr boom must be organized. The delegation must be held solid for Palmer, to be thrown to Hill if necessary to defeat any chance Morrison might have as a dark horse, with the Cleveland people secretly playing him as a favorite. A Grand Duel Expected in Illinois. It may now be expected that the Morrison factiou will "inaugurate" a counter move ment, and that the sovereign State of Illi nois will be the Geld of a grand duel, with Morrison and Palmer as principals. In case it should appear tbat neither can secure the delegation, it is shrewdly sus pected that Mr. Springer would modestly accept himself as a compromise. Of course, all this will promote the Hill boom, as it will -prevent the Cleveland faction, from capturing Illinois. The junketers returned from Chicago to day. To the last man and the last woman they are in favor of a fat appropriation to help out the "World's Fair enterprise. They were simply overwhelmed by the stupend ousness of the project and the free ride, the champagne the Havanas and the. tree and elegant table at the Palmer House, the Grand Pacific, the Auditorium and the rest. They give in one breath a mighty send-off to the magnificent tram, the hotels, the Ex position and the pretty and gracious women they met at the reception provided by Mrs. Potter Palmer. Senator Peffer, tilting his heavy gold eye glasses, illustrates ' the gigantic nature of the Fair in a characteristic way by saying that the main building occupies two acres more of ground than his farm that he used to run in Indiana before the mortgage fiend got it, and that it, (the building) required five carloads of nails merely to fasten down the floor. This analytical quality in Mr. Pefler marks him as a great statesman. The Cost of the Junketing Trip. This sumptuous "treat," accepted by less than one-fourth of the members of Congress, cost the local corporation of the Fair up wards of $40,000, which, h'owever, will be profitably expended, if the 55,000,000 asked from Congress be secured. One fourth of the votes of Congress for the ap propriations is a substantial nucleus to start with. It is safe to say that every Representative and Senator who enjojed the dead head entertainment, will vote for 55,000,000 or.lwice 55,000,000, if they have the opportunity. Again the ruftor goes forth that there is to be a change in the personnel of the Cabi net, and, curiously enough again, the gen tleman to take his leave is Mr. Noble. Sec retary of the Interior, who has had his res ignation placed in the hands of the"Presi dent bv the newspaper gossips at least three times during his tenure, and each time with such absolute 'certainty that it-could not be disputed. Very unkindly, Mr. Noble chose tb hold on to his office, and will doubtless do so again, even against this new and most positive report that he is to succeed Minis ter Reicl at Paris, though Minister Reid has not resigned, and declares that he has no in tention of resisminsr. Judge Carter, of Montana, Commissioner of the Land Office, is named as the successor of Mr. Noble, a gentleman, I fancy, who, would be among the last to be thought of by the President as a member of the official family. Stewart'.! Moments Are Numbered. The career of Colonel !Andy" Stewarf as a member of the Fifty-second Congress will terminate to-morrow. There is not the least doubt on that point. The prospects are that when the debate closes and the vote is taken every Democrat present will come down with a negative upon the head of the son of "Old Tariff Andy." The fact that two Re publican members of the Committee on Elections, Haugen, of Wisconsin, and Doan, of Ohio, went with the Democrats on the majority report apparently took away the last chance of Stewart, if he had any chance before. The report was based purely on a question of law. It held registration was compul sory, -und that no matter whether a citizen was a legal voter or not, he must be regis tered if he would have Tiis vote counted. The majority would not admit that a larger number of unregistered persons voting were shown" to have voted for Craig than for Stewart, though the latter claims to have made this fact evident This phase of the contest was ignored by the majority, includ ing Haugen and Doan. If the case be con cluded to-morrow it will unfortunately cut Stewart out of a month's pay, which he would receive if it were continued until the 1st of March, which would give him a year's pay complete, as it is, he will receive pay for 11 months, and 52,000 for expenses, all of which will hardly equal the cost of his contest. Knormons Cost of the Contest. Mr. Craig will receive pay as though he had held the seat all the time, with 52,000 for expenses, all of which has been already eaten up by lawyers, witnesses, printing and other expenses. Thus this seat in Con gress has already cost the public about 514, 000, and Mr. Craig, no matter how estimable or able he may be, will take it knowing that Mr. Stewart -had a majority of the legal voters of the, district in his favor, if Tint it insinrifcv fifth lpr1 r-nte Tli... 1B no use in smoothing over the tact that not one of the contests brought against Repub licans in the present House would have been heard of bad they not been encouraged by the overwhelming Democratic majority. The only wonder is that but six contests were instituted when the opportunities were so great. Mr. Postmaster General Wanamaker smilinsly admitted "to-day that he had looked over the second Teport in regard to the Allegheny postmaster and his assistant, but that he could give out nothing of the contents. He said emphatically that any one who pretended to give the"least sug gestion of the character of the report was indulging in pure guesswork, as no one but himself had had access to it. Immedi ately upon its receipt it was sent to him at Atlantic City, unopened, and it had been in his sole possession ever since. Some thing mav be learned in regard to its char acter within a dav or two. Before taking any action Mr. "Wanamaker desires to con sult with the special agents, Mr. Stone and others. Ligiitxek. AN ISOK HAN'S SUICIDE. So Motive Known for the Kh Seed of G. D. Kelly, of the Shenango Valley. SnAEON, Feb. .21. Imperial George D. Kelly, one of the most prominent pig iron manufacturers in the Shenango Valley, a partner in the firm of Pierce, Kelly & Co., committed suicide this afternoon by shoot ing himself through the head with a bullet from a revolver. He left the company's works at Sharpsville in good spirits, and walked to an empty car on a siding nearby, where the deed was committed, death re sulting instantly. Kelly's body was dis covered soon after by a number of work men. He -was abont 48 years of age and leaves a iiife ard several children. His business and family aflairs were apparently smboth, and no cause can be assigned for. the act. Kelly was known in every part of the iron worldj and was one of the best furnace man agers in the State. The- town1 of Sharps ville, where he was an influential citizen, is all torn up over the occurrence. FILTH ANDJOUALOR The Abode of a Horde of Barbarians in the Midst of Civilization. MUEDERED F0 REVEME. A Cowardly Crime That Happened at a Xhristenhisrv Jubilee; BLACKMAIL WAS HIS CALLING, Eo His Sudden Ending Attracted Little Attention. Very NO SEAKCH MADE FOR HIS SLaTEE SPECIAL TELEGRAil TO TIIE DISPATCH.l. Kings Park, N. Y., Feb. 21. Less than a lnile'froin here, on the tract of land purchased by Kings county on which to erect a new'insane asylum and other county institutions, there live now SO or more human beings almost in a state of barbarism controlled practically by no law. They act and do as they please, preying on each other on occasions, on other communities when they have no opportunity in their own. They avenge wrongs committed against each other, some times with the knife, some times with a gun or more often with more murderous weapons. A stranger passing the colony by the only road that runs with in a mile of it would never discover its ex istence. There are no houses save little bet ter than sheds to show tbat it is a place of human habitation, but the ground looks broken, hillocky and, once get off the road and in among the trees, a scries of mud huts will be found. There in filth these men live with their wives and children. There were 300 of them, all Italians, until a month or so ago. Then, when the work on the county buildings stopped, the most of them went away. Loafing; Preferred to Working for a living. There is work enough still for those that are left, but not all of them turn their hand to it. They loaf about their mud huts in smoke of wood fires and filth of slops. The atmosphere of all of these huts, save one,is such that an ordinary man could not exist in them. The one exception is the hut of John Sosciavo, the storekeeper. The huts are built on one plan, each has two rooms, the lensth of which is Cx6 feet. In the center of one is a place for a fire, in the other are bunks, just plain wooden boxes with a square hole large enough for one to crawl through. In two of these bunks in some of the huts as many as six persons sleep. They are literally packed like sar dines. How they exist is a mystery. Last Sunday there was a murder com mitted in the colony. It was one of those , cosrardly crimes for revenge peculiar to the lower classes of the Italian race. The victim "nas Dominico Di Carlo, one of the foremen of a gang, the possessor of a wife and three children and 51,000 which he had saved from his wages, and, if what the men say ( is true, from the blackmail b.e levied en'-them. "" . He Was a Bad Slan From TTajback. His murderer was No. 12, otherwise known as Prongesco Artiballa, a murderer in the old country before he came to Ameri ca, a bad man in New York, and known as a half-good citizen in the colony here. All civilization has not been forgotten in this colony, and that's how it canio that there was a'christening there on Sunday. Nicolstonio Volpo had a young daughter, and the whole crowd went back into one of the six-by-six rooms in a hut in the woods and the girl was christened. Then came a jnbilee and after that murder. Di Carlo and No. 12, of course, attended the jubilee. They were apparently good friends. They had worked together nearly a year. They had had a fight before that, and in it Carlo had thrown a lamp at No. 12 and cut his eye, and bad then lunged up at him with a huge knife. He had intended to run it clear through him, but his aim was bad and he only made an ugly gash in his leg. No. 12 said to him then, pointing to his cut face and to his leg, "You pay for this, first chance." After the jubilee was first chance. Di Carlo wore a knife and two huge revolvers and it was not safe to attack him. Died, ricrced by Four Ballets. If was about 10 o'clock Sunday night All but five of the men had gone to their own lodgings. These five were sitting in one pf the huts when Di Carlo came in. He had two bottles of beer with him and he wanted Nicola Orlando to drink one bottle with him. Nicola had been playing cards with the others. He got up and insisted on Di Carlo taking his seat. - As Di Carlo sat down No. 12 got up and drew his revolver. Cursing in his mother tongue he pointed and fired as fast as he could pull the trigger backing off as he did so toward the door. Di Carlo fell dead pierced by four bullets. No. 12 disappeared out the door and in a moment was gone. He could be heard running through the mud and slush, but no one cared to follow him. He had but avenged a wrong and that was not a crime. The men lett in uano a Dotty lying in the mud and water outside the hiit where his wife and children were, then went to their own lodgings and slept as though nothing had happened. Joe, the storekeeper, and the one good man in the colony thought it might be best to notify the authorities here! No Search Made for the Murderer.' Word was sent to Coroner Rodman, of Huntington, who came and held an inquest Monday. The jury said No. 12 committed the murder and then the matter dropped. No search was made for the inurderer. They send a telegram to Inspector Byrnes to search Mulberry street, but it is not likely that he has gone there. He is probably in the woods on Long Island somewhere. A reporter visited the colony to-night and saw Joe and went around among the huts. The men had almost forgotten the affair. DI Carlo had been buried in the potters field. His wife with his thousand dollars and three children had been shipped to New York, No. 12 had gone, and there was nothing to talk about. They did ay that Di Carlo's brother, who was one of them, might avenge the killing if he ever ran across No. 12, but he won't spend any time looking for him. As for the people of King's Park, they say tbc affair was a little out of the ordinary, but that they haven't thought half as much abont it as they have about the latest vife beating.

The instructions were carried out to the letter. The body, accompanied by a number of the,deceased man's friends in carriages, and accompanied by a band aud a double quartette, was con veyed to the crematory. .

"While the body was being consumed this was kept up, and each one of the friends present (a hundred or more) took- a peep into the heated oven and saw the body as it burned. This was in conformity with th'e provis ions of the will. Then the frientU left the scene, accompanied by the musicians, who plaved lively tunes and acted anything but seriously.

A Meeting- of Buckeye Democrats to Be Held to Look After Grover's Inter ests Campbell tp Be Cleveland's Running Mate Unless He Is Himself Chosen to Lead the Democracy The Ex-President Says He Fears Only McKlnley as an Opponent Hill Men "Working Like Beavers at Columbus Ex-Candidate Thomas E. Powell Shifts Prom Cleveland to the New York Senator. ffPICIAL TELEGRAM TO TOE DISFA.TCII.1 Toledo, O., Feb. 24. "Grover Cleve land will certainly be a candidate before the Chicago Convention, and if he is suc cessful he thinks William McKinley is the only man whom he cannot easily defeat," James E. Campbell will have second place. Frank Hurd, of Toledo, will nominate Mr. Cleveland." This is the gist of a private conversation at Ann Arbor, Monday, in which ex-"Presi-dent Cleveland, ex-Governor Campbell, Hon. Frank Hurd, Don M. Dickinson, W. F. Vilas and others participated. Mr. Hurd is authority for the statement that he would nominate Cleveland, and he remainder of the arrangement comes from a prominent local Democrat to' whom Mr. Hurd told it. The great free trader was -visited by The Dispatch representative this evening, and asked as to the. truth of the rumors on the street ,Hc replied: "I don't know just what the people are saying, but 'lean say I am heartily desirous of seeing Mr. Cleve land placed in nomination, and shall do everything I'can -to assist him. I think Hill will have no show against him. New York may want Hill, but the great West will rush like a whirlwind to the ex-President's sunnort. He can be nominated and elected without anyhelp froraTammanj "If X amnelected as one of the delegates' to the. convention I will nominate Mr. Cleveland. He is the ablest Democrat alive. The great issues upon which he will stand are tariff for revenue only and a gold financial policy. Absolute free trade would suit me better, but that would not suit all the rest". Mr. Hurd also stated that a meeting of. prominent Ohio Democrats will soon be held, at which Cleveland's interests in Buckcyedom will be taken care of. He said that ex-Governor Campbell, Congressman Harter, of Mansfield; Congressman Johnson, of Cleveland, and himself would be present These who are in the party with fiurd say it was practically decided that if Ohio went for Cleveland Campbell should be his run ning mate. In case Mr. Cleveland's nom ination becomes impossible, Mr. Campbell is to receive, his strength this in view of the probable nomination of Harrison on the Republican ticket Harrison the Bepnblican Leader. The subject of whom the Bepnblican lightning would probably strike was one thoroughly discussed. All agreed that Harrison was not only far in the lead since Blaine's letter, but was the weakest of those most prominently mentioned. Mr. Cleveland said directly that William Mc Kinley was the hardest man the Democrats would have to fight, should the Republicans make him their leader. His habit of earnestly advocating his theories, and at the same time retaining the hearty friendship of those opposed to those theories,, was thought by the gentlemen to be a point no other prominent Republican possesses. While this little council of President makers drafted no platform, it was agreed that business should be done on a gold basis. The gentlemen did not appear pleased with the Bland bill, but still did not like the present Sherman, law. They wanted cold to be used merely as a basis for circulation, and not necessarily a legal tender. Silver enough for subsidiary pur poses was thought to be all right. The gentlemen favored the bill introduced hr Congress last week, asking for an inter national congress to fix a money standard for all nations America to favor silver when issued with reference to gold. Activivlty of the Hill Men. The announcement that Hurd would nomi nate Cleveland and that Ohio was to make a fight on Hill caused a great flurry among prominent Toledo Democrats. Many of them stopped reporters in the streets and told them to announce their candidacy as delegates tp th democratic convention. The Hill mi. - vei active, and are now more pronounced than ever, owing to their animosity to Campbell. The feeling created by the tilt with Lawrence Neal last fall is far from beins; quelled. Calvin Brice's love for Hill has also encouraged the opposition which McLean, of the Cincinnati Enmtirer, and Mr. Neal are making, but it is believed that with their combined efforts Hill will not get more than two or three votes from Ohio. The gerrymander which the Democrats fixed up last winter seems to have been a double-barreled one. It not only gave them 1G Congressmen, but grouped the counties in such a manner that Cleveland can easily outstrip Hill. The Democrats hope by the nomination of Campbell for Vice President, and count ing on the Republicans putting up Har rison again, to swing Ohio intotheir col umn. The Ann Arbor coterie expressed, little hope of saving "New York, but de-' cided that Cleveland could safely be pulled through without that State. POWELL WOEKmS 70S BILL. One Ohio Ex-Candltjate Changes Place With Another ofHU Knd. COLUMBrs, 0.,-Fcb. 24. Hill sentiment in Ohio evinced itself in a lusty meeting, this evening, at which a committee was ap pointed "to co-operate with A slmilar'cliib In another part of the city and make arramre- ments for a mass meeting to be held Friday evening, when formal action of indorsement will be had. At the meeting to-night General Thomas E. Powell, candidate for Governor on tne Democratic ticket in 1887, was the principal spirit. He said the city was full of Hill men, and they should be gotten together tjiat they may know their strength. He also conveyed the informa tion that the call for the meeting Friday evening is signed by over 500 Democrats. Powell was a Cleveland man in'1887, and secured the nomination over, ex-Governor Campbell, who was opposed to ex-President Cleveland at that time. Powell also had the aid of the national administration in his canvass.

Special A- num ber of gentlemen, some of them well known in political and social circles of New York City, believe that "a new municipal party" should be organized. The argument is "what the Union League has done for the Bepnblican party and what the Manhattan has done for the Democratic party must be done by a new social club for a new muni cipal party."
