LIBERALITY CANKOT BE CHECKED rSPKCI At TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH. 1 "Washington, March a It js very well known that there are a few Demociats in the House and some of them will oc cupy places of leadership who are in favor of honoring the resolution of economy passed early in the session more in the breach than in the observance. The num ber of these men is not large, but they pos sess sufficient influence to make things rather embarrassing for the majority oi Democrats in the House who are deter mined that the announced policy oi strict economy shall be carried out to the very letter. The indications are becoming numerous, moreover, that some of the regular appro priation bills, whose enormous amounts last year gave rise to the scandal of the billion Congress, are getting very near to high water mark now in the various committees that are preparing them for submission to the House. The river and harbor bill is almost ready to be submitted to the House, and a report floats out from the committee room that its figures are very near to the $24,000,000 which wa, :n round numbers, the sum total of the jumbo bill of the Fifty first Congress. Sir. Blancuarcl a Liberal JUn. Mr. Blanchard, of Louisiana, chairman of the River and Harbor Committee, is one of the most earnest and consistent advocates of true economy that there is in the House. He was a supporter of Mr. Crisp in the Speakership contest, and a warm defender of the Democratic policy of retrenchment and reform. He is in favor of liberal ap propriations for the maintenance and im provement of the great naval waterways, but an avowed opponent of the expenditure of the people's money for making naviga ble the various cheese-creeks in all section of the countrr. Mr. Blanchard can be depended upon to do all in his power to restrict the river and harbor appropriations to such objects a are meritorious and important, although lie will find it difficult to do so. Appropriations for works on rivers and harbors come nearer home to the average Congressman than any other class of public expenditures, and a great amount of pressure will be necessary to make the statesmen acquiesce in the new order of things. The Committee on Public Buildings and Grounds is also meeting with a surprising amount of opposition in its attempt to stop altogether the passage of bills pro iding for tfie erection of new buildings, and the mem bers of the committee themselves are divided in their opinions as to what course should be pursued. Tork Nefded for Each District. Mr. Savers, of the Appropriations Com mittee, has already shown that the Treasury Department has on hand for public build ing purposes no more money than it can 1$roperJy expend for the next five or six Sears, because of the large number of build ings in course of construction, and still there are many members who fear that their reuomiuation and re-election are in danger unless they get the usual amount of "pork" fontheir "districts." 'Altogether, the situation is embairassing to the leaders in the House. Notwithstand ing that a good record has been made with the military academy bill and one or two others that have already been under con sideration in the House, the outlook lor united and harmonious action in the inter est of wide and proper economy is not as bright as it should be. Of course, no assist ance can be looked for from the Republicans. :The Republican minority in the House are vainly trying to make a little cheap political capital out of the amount carried by the pension appropriation bill now under consideration in committee of the whole. The general debate on the bill yesterday developed the usual amount of 'buncombe talk to the galleries, the Republicans en deavoring to make it appear that an insuffi cient sum for pensions hid been lecom mended. Much More Than is Enquired. The bill carries a total of $134,800,000. and, as Mr. Mutchler explained, will probablv exceed the requirements br from 56,000,000 to $10,000,000. The law fof the current year appropriated 51X5, 000.000, and there is every reason to suppose, judging from the ex penditures for pensions for the past eight months, that this amount will not all be ex pended by at least $10,000,000. The Republicans complain that the Ap propriations Committee should have recom mended, without question or investigation, the total estimated bv the Commissioner of Pensions, to wit, 5147,000,000. Had this been done, and were that estimate to be en acted into law the Commissioner would have at his disposal on July 14 next, for the pavment of pensions, the appalling sum of $157,000,000, including the $10,000,000 that will beyond much doubt be left over lrom the Appropriations Committee. Accompanying the bill is a budget of in teresting testimony, in w hich General Raum states that up to February 1 last there had been expended during the first eight months of the current fiscal year $83,000,000, and that there is now a surplus on hand, after paving the March drat to, of $43,000,000, $15,000,000 of which is in the hands of pension agents and $28,000,000 in the Treas ury. Only three month's expenditures can be made out of this for the remainder of this fiscal year, those for April, May and June, and inasmuch as the monthly'aver asre thus far has been only a little over $10,000,000 a month, it is clear that at least $10,000,000, or perhaps $13,000,000, will be left over after making three more monthly payments. An Absurd Thine to Ask. Consequently, it is absurd to ask that $147,000,000 be appropriated for next ear, when this surplus of $10,000,000 or $13,000, 000 is so evident and all rational calcula tions point to a necessary expenditure only a little, at most, greater than that for this year, which, according to a close computa tion br the Secretary of the Treasury, will not exceed $125,000,000. Especially should the bill recommended by the committee be exempt from criticism when the condition of the Treasury, brought about by the reck less profligacy of the Billion Congress, is considered. "With an urgent necessity for rigid economv all along the liue of Government expenditures it would apparently be a senseless piece of folly, so the Democratic leaders believe, to tie up an excessive sum to the pension account that will not be needed, and especially as all ascertained deficiencies on this account can be prompt ly 'supplied beforehand before the next ses sion of this Congress adjourns, so as to cause not the slightest embarrassment or interrup tion in the payment of pensions. The Democratic leaders in the House are confi dent that the bill will pass to-morrow, just as reported, as a rebuke to the criticisms of the irresponsible minority. The Assessment Lowered. The printers and pressmen held their monthly meeting yesterday. The principal thing done was to reduce the strike assess ment from 10 to 5 per cent. So many of the strikers have now secured employment, that it is not necessary to keep the assess ment up. The meeting also eulogized the memories of the three members who hare latejvdied.. They are John Xolbscker, X. a Foster and Alexander MeWiHfm, Sr. The charter was ordered to be draped in i- -s V ? dnvc 1 SUNDAY POLICE- COURTS.-- Magistrates Have Light Hearings All Over the City Only a Few New Faces TVllt Appear at the Workhouse Allegheny Has Only a Few Cases.

The Venerable Kx-Congressmin Sees a Chancs to Get Even With Quay. Bedford, March 6. Special J Ex-Congressman John Cessna issued a card an nouncing his candidacy for the Legislature. Mr. Cessna would never have gone this far toward announcing himself had it not been that the lieutenants of Senator Quay have been at work booming him for Congress, in different parts of the county, with the hopes of getting him where he could not harm Quay. But the venerable ex-Congressman has "an outstanding debt which he owes Quay, and he realizes that at Harrishurg is the place to pay it Mr. Cessna's card is as follows: Bedford, March 5. To the voters of Bedford county: For somo woets past I have observed no tices In several newspapers of the State in regard, to my candidacy at the election of November next. The subject has been very repeatedly broached to me by citizens of the county and In other parts of the State, some In person and others uy letters, borne of my friends desire that I should accept a nomination for the Ilonse of Representa tives of Pennsylvania, others urge that I shall become a candidate for Congress. Up to this time I have refrained from discuss ing the matter as much as "possible. I be lieve on several occasions I said the people might do as they pleased, nominate me for either position, or for neither, as they saw lit. I find this has led to some misapprehen sion, and may cause dissatisfaction -and a want of harmony. From the number or in quiries and the near approach of the time lor holding the county convention I have concluded that 1 must remove the uncci- talnty surrounding my position. Jly reason of numerous circumstances I prefer not to be considered a candidate for Congress at this time. While J shall not seek a nomination for the Legislature or any other office, I am willing to accept a nomi nation ifil can be obtained without solici tation on my part. If my friends see fit to urge mo for that position, and tender me a nomination, I will do my part to secure an election, and if elected, do my best to serve my constituents. There are questions likely tonrise at Harrisburg during the next ses sion of the Legislature, in making efforts to secure proper equalization of taxation among the people or theState,and numerous other Important and vital questions, wliicli would seem to inducemetoaccoptaposltion which, under other circumstances I would not desire to have. 1 am, very respectfully, you robedient servant, Johx Cessxa.

THE BOARD OP CONTROL VACANCY. Fred Pfeffer Not Likely to Go to LonisYillo This Season. V . STJLLIYAX IS HOT AFTER MITCHELL rFrrciAt, tilxobam to Tits dispatch., New York, March 6. Interest in horse racing events is becoming very great in deed among sporting people in the East Much speculation is going on" as to the big handicaps and thousands of dollars have al ready been invested here on the results. There is also considerable talt about the prospects of the trotting season, and good authorities state that the prospects were never better. One gentleman who has been interested in trotting events for nearly 30 years said last evening that he never knew the outlook to be as good as it is now. He contends there will be more money, more horses and a better quality. He said: Something Abont Pittsburg. "Just mark my word, that the grind cir cuit will be a hummer this year. When it is inaugurated at Pittsburg everybody will be convinced that the season is sure to be a great one. From what I hear there will be more first-class horses at the "Pittsburg meeting this year than there. has ever been. At any rate, many of the leading trainers tell me so. Mr.' McCracten, of the Home wood Driving Park at Pittsburg, also 'said when here recently that all possible effort wonld be made this season to make the sum mer meeting the best ever held in Pitts burg." Among the other meets that of the Queen City Driving Club, of Cincinnati, is es pecialiyftleserving of mention. The races will be held in August and the entire lists contain the names of many well known horses. A Western stake race that is at tracting considerable attention among East ern horsemen is the Xebraska Futurity State, guaranteed for $20,000. Nominations from all over the country have been -received and they include such horses as Nel son, Candidate, Norwood, Monbars, "Wedge wood, Redwood Clay, Santa Mateo, Baron stein, Bow Bells, Norval Director, Direct, G. and M. Patronage, Ellerslie "Wilkes and Favette "Wilkes. As yet no one has been named to take the place on the Board of Control left vacant by . the death of Mr. "Withers. As has been stated in the Telegram, many names have been mentioned, and, indeed, there are so many gentlemen identified with the turf who would, in every way, be fitted for the place that it will be found somewhat diffi cult to choose betneen them. The names that are now the most prominent are Pierre Lorillard, James B. Keene, A. F. Walcott, August Belmont and Altred Hennen Aioi ri.s. Lorillard May Accept. It is believed that Mr. Lorillard would accept a seat on the present board, although he declined a seat on the original. The situation in New Jersey is still-unchanged. Bumors of "compromise," "agree ment," etc., have been flying around, but as yet nothing definite has been decided. It was said that the "local option" bill would be passed, and in return for the aid given by Guttenburg and Gloucester the Board of Control n ould rescind or at least modify the famous "disbar order. This may or may not be so, but it is well known that no stone will be left unturned toward opening the gates of Monmouth Park. It hardly seems possible, however, that the board would make any compromise with their sworn enemies. ' A tumor was extensively circulated which said that "W. C Daly and M. J. Dnyer had applied for stable room at Gut tenburg and would shortly move a portion of their strings to the track across the river. This rumor gained considerable credence before it was denied. Both of the Dwyers are at New Orleans. PFEFFEE AND LOUISVILLE. Iilttle Hope of Fritz Becoming a Colonel Tills Tear. Louisville, March 6. Regarding the Pfeffer matter Dr. Stucky siys: The direc tors are going the begin flgiu lug on getting alonj without Fred. He had spent much time in New York in trying to trade with Jim Hart He had offered the Chicago Pres ident Brown for Pfeffer as an even trade. This was offered Browning Fred. This, also. refused. He thcu and Canavan for Mr. Hart looked upon unfavorably. The last proposition he made was an offer of Canavan and $500 for tlio second baseman. Mr. Hart did not like this cither. He said he could not think of a money consideration. "Jeeins"' even spoke as if the mention of money grated hai shly on his ear. He wns pained. He then issued another ultimatum. He said that in no event would he make any other trade with Louisville than an exchange of Piefferand Wilmot for Brown and Canavan. Fred wonld have to play second base In Chi cago if this was not done. If Pfeffer pre ferred to remain idle his salary wonld nlso loiter within the coffers of the Chicago club. Dr. Stuckv, seeing that Mr. Hart was Arm, nskeda lavorof tho Chicago man. Would he write down what he said, statin:; that he had leceived an offer from Louisville? Dr. Stucky requested this on account of Mr. Hart's having denied receiving propositions in the past from Louisville, when several had been sent him. The favor was granted. Dr. Stucky said it was plain to him that Chi cago wanted to ship Wilmot to Louisville on account of that player's high salary. Under the old condition of things he had been signed for $3,500, and that sum had tobe paid him. Under no circumstance would the local club accept Wilmot. The ceneral opinion was that Mr. Hart's ultimatums weie, when shorn of their theatrical tone and specious form, simply bluffs. PLAYED A TIE. The Chicago and Thistle Football Teams Have a Hot Contest. Cbicaoo, March 6 SpeefaZ. There was a great football game, Association rules, here yesterday between tho Thistles and tho Chlcagos. It was the third round of tbo Jackson cup contest Tlie Thistles had their strongest team on the field and tub Chlcagos were also strong. The play on both sides was good and the contest resulted in each team scoring 2. The Thistles wonder what the Plttshurgers think of the result, and they still claim to uc among the thrco best teams in the coun try, tho other two beln,r Detroit and, the East End, of Fall River. This is a curious claim, seeing that the Chlcagos havo not been beaten yet and have easily defeated the Thistles. The latter want to plav the Pittsburgh The Fails Sale.
