Bureau or The Dispatch, VTx&nisGTos. D. C March 27. ( "Oh, no, I am not at all disappointed by the news from the Armstrong county pri maries," said Hon. John Dalzell to me this evening. "The fact is," he continued, "if the reports in the newspapers are correct the result is more favorable to me than I had any reason to expect. If, as stated, the popular expression for Senator shows a ma jority of only 1.000 for Mr. Quay, the oppo sition i much stronger than I anticipated. "Armstrong is oue of Quay's counties. His machine is nowhere more thoroughly organized than in Beaver, Armstrong, Law rence and Mercer. Besides this, many of his old regiment are residents of these coun ties, and naturally his former companions in arms throw all their influence for him. It was desirable that the primaries should be held early in these counties, which are thoroughly under control, that the result there might be felt through the State, and so a date was fixed for them in March and early in April instead of later. Gallant Fight for tun Congressmin. "Why, in so far as Armstrong county is concerned. I would almost as soon expect to carry Beaver, Senator Quay's own county. At the same time, if, as I have said. Quay's majority is not more than 1,000, my friends must have made a gallant fight for me. I am informed, moreover, that there was a great deal of money used by the manipula tors of the machine.and of course that wonld have some eflecu Of course, the vote does not bind the persons nominated for the Legislature. It was merely to aflord oppor 1 unity for an expression of popular senti ment. The gentlemen nominated are per fectly satisfactory to me. "I see it is quoted as significant that Snyder and Union counties nominated Quay candidates for the Legislature. I expected nothing there, and attempted nothing. There are no two counties in the State more thoroughly in the hands of the machine politicians. The movement against the bosses in the State generally exceeds all expectations, and I think that by the time the Legislature meets a sentiment will be manifest which will lead the Republicans in the Legislature to go very slow in the direction of electing a representative of personal and machine politics to the Senate. " The Sensation ot the Day. The action of certain Senators in report ing a resolution for the expulsion of James K. Young, for long years the executive clerk of the Senate, upon suspicion of his having divulged the proceedings of secret sessions oi that body, is quite the sensation of the day. Among the 200 newspaper writ ers of the capital, all of whom have a per sonal and warm friendship tor Mr. Young, it is a cause both of amusement and indig nation amusement because of their per sonal and peculiar knowledge of the manner In which executive secrets escape through the walls of the Senate, and indignation that Senators, who also know how such news leaks, should endeavor to create a diversion from themselves, the guilty ones, to a wholly innocent person. It seems that when the resolution was offered by Senator Hale, of Maine, on Fri day, there were but Jew Senators in the Chamber. The Senator desired its imme diate consideration, without giving Mr. Young any chance for defense, and in tne absence of three-fourths of his fellow Sena tors, hoping to put it through at once, and thus proclaim to the world that the his torical leak of the star chamber sessions had been stopped. Fortunately, Mr. Yonng had friends present who insisted that the resolution should lie over. Some Kldlculons Frecantlons Taken. To those who know the facts nothing could be more ridiculous than the precau tions taken by the Senate to prevent re ports of the proceedings of executive ses sions and to discover the source of informa tion when they are reported. Two years ago there was almost as great a tempest in a teapot over this matter as there is now. Some of the Senators most conspicuous for the infraction of this oath were loudest in their denunciation of the publication, much to the amusement of the occupants of the press gallery. An investigation committee was appointed at the instance of Senator Dolph, of Oregon, and it sat day after dav probing witnesses, chiefly newspaper cor respondents. Day after day the bucket was sent down into the bottomless well of journalistic in formation and brought up nothing. Cor respondents were threathened with all sorts of evil things if they refused to expose their informants,but not asingle name escaped the lips of the men of the press. Dolph fairly gnawed his flesh with rage at the firmness of his witnesses. If he could, he could have given them to the thumbscrew and the rack. ..The only revenge he could take wu ST i BIBlBlB8HfcBBtCzCWBBBsSXwiWrTWBiKWiWWsCTrKWSffHBHBBBBB3BBBBI t-tty t1 hBrrlff"rWBffBTwjBLtjniHtBBHWm?PSMA 1 53srS3 JBtBHBBsPsBelBSffcSSHBBilllBBBiBE to shut the correspondents out oi the ante room of the gallery during the secret session, a perfect contemptible proceeding. Every one knew the utter Impossibility of hearing a single sound from the Chamber when the double doors leading from tho gallery to the ante room wore closed. A Very Short Lived Embargo. This embargo lasted but a few days. The correspondents made it so warm for tlie Senators, and showed them up to suoh good purpose that tho ante-room was opened, and during the progress of an executive session the correspondents would He back luxur iously and smoke, each one Jooularly dis cussing whether "my Senator" would be as communicative as usual. Sinco that time, however, tne situation has never been quite tho same. Senators have been more timid. They often felt they were being watched by each other, and possibly by persons or whom they knew nothing. It Is a fact that Dolph, possibly in collusion with others, placed agents of the secret service on the track of certain Senators and correspondents. Senators were put to great Inconvenience to reach a safe spot in which to hold confidential intercourse with corre spondents, and give to the pnblic the secrets they were sworn to keep through the opera tion of an absurd and vicious precedent, but which they knew belonged of right to the people. By and by they became more lax, and un til the recent interchange of interesting notes between President Harrison and Premier Salisbury little attention was paid to the publication of exeoutlve secrets. And It may be said here that during the dis cussions first with Italy and then with Chile, when the Senate was not in session, State secrets were securedjnst the same from the White House or the State Department, as they were before and after from the Senate. Other Leaks Than From the Senate. Ana it may be further said that the sub stance of every one of the diplomatic papers recently submitted to the Senate was known and published before they left the hands of the President, so that all tho exec utive secrets do not leak through the walls of the Senate. The climax of ridiculous effort at secrecv was reached last week, when the Capitol electricians were instrnoted to trace every wire leading to the Senate wing of the capi tal, to discover ir a micropnone was not somewhere concealed and through whioh trickled the secrets of the chamber; the Senators all the time knowing that from 63 to uu oi ineirnumDerweretnemseives giving the news to trusted correspondents ot influ ential papers in their respectfves States. Such treatment of the matter of secrecy has done more to bring contempt on the secret session than all other influences com bined, and the unjust, outrageous action toward Mr. Young, against whom not a breath of suspicion could hold, will serve to turn the guns of every correspondent at the Capitol against these star chamber proceed ings, which are out of date, productive of no cood whatever, and especially out of place in a government supposed to be of the peo ple. They are certainly absurd and only to be laughed at, when, under the most rigid precautions, the proceedings of the star chamber are known to correspondents within a short time after the (laors are thrown open. Chances ot a Tote on Sliver. If Representative Catchlngs arrives to morrow from his Vlcksburg home, as is ex pected, the special order providing for an immediate vote on the silver hill will be reported to the Hsuse to-morrow before the reading of the Journal. This is the course pursued w ith the former special orderflxing a date for the consideration of the bill. The point of order was raised against it then that it was not in order to proceed to tho transaction or any business until the journal had been read. Speaker Crisp decided that this did not apply to the consideration or a report from the Committee on Rules. Mr. Tracey appealed ironi the decision, but tho Chair was sustained. This precedent will be quoted to-morrow if the special order be reported, and members who voted two weeks ago to sustain the Chair cannot con sistently refuse to voto for the special order to-morrow, which will doubtless provide for an immediate consideration or the bill. Ex-Speaker Heed has made no further at tempt to induce the Republicans to vote against the special order and to assist the anti-silver Democrats and the timid free coinage Democrats to prevent a dlreot vote on the bill, and it is probable that most of the Republicans will vote for the special order. If so.-everything may pass off with out riotous scenes. If a direct vote on the bill be reached tho chances now seom to bo slightly in favor of its passage, as several Democrats who were absent or sick last week have informod the free coincso whips that they will be on hand. Liqhtsxr. ECONOMY IN MISSION! A Congressional Committee Considers Con oolldatlon a Pertinent Affair. WA6Hl3OT0y, March 27. Mr. Blount, of Georgia, Chairman of the House Committee on Foreign Affairs, has prepared for submis sion to the House an extensive report to ac company the regular annual consular and diplomatic appropriation bill framed by the committee. The report says that a careful examination has been made into the subject Of our toreign missions and the importance of onr diplomatic relations with the sev eral countries or the world. The facilities for transmission and intercbangeof thought dispenses with much ot the need or foreign representation. It enables the home Gov ernment to communicate rapidly and freely on all questions of difference with foreign governments and to give directions in the mogt minute detail. So completely does this practice obtain that we shall scarcely find fame springing from the action of onr representatives at foreign courts in the future as in the earlier days of the Republic. In addition to this the country has grown to such magnitude as to enjoy that regard from other nations which guarantees her against foreign insolence, outrage and causeless war. Very much mfcrht be safely done In reduc ing the nnmber of our ministers by abolition or the union of several countries under one mission. Not encouraged to hope for an ac ceptance or these views by the Senate or the President, it has been deemed best, except in a few instances, to postpone needed re forms at this point. Denmark, Sweden and Norway, however, have been placed under one mission, as have Colombia and Ecuador tinder one mission, and likewise Peru and Bolivia. By a mistake of the printer it was announced that Guatemala and Venezuela had also been joined under one minister. Separate missions are to be maintained to there two countries, and the salary is fixed at $5,000 each. The report says that the com mittee gave careful attention to the consular service, and revised it according to the busi ness and importance to the United States of each place. A SUPREME COURT JAILED. How Venezuela's Despot Proposes to Hang Onto His Office The Judges Had De clared His Tenure Illegal Senators and Deputies Thrust Into Dungeons. Venezuela, March 27. A crisis has been reached in the political struggle in this country, and from all parts of the republic come reports of uprisings against President Palacio's attempt to retain his dictator ship. Palacio's claim that he is President is pronounced an outrage by the Federal Supreme Couit, and it adds that he held the office illegallv. The pronunclnmlento of the court threw Palacio into a great rage. In stantly he summoned the police authorities. "I want these Judces, every one of them," he said, "locked up." The police souzht out the Judges, and In side of 24 hours every one of them was be hind prison bar. Caracas is in a virtual state of siege. Life and liberty are unsafe. All telegrams and dispatches are carefully scanned, and the least thing suspicious in any of them subjects the writer to arrest. Many prominent men are imprisoned, among them a large proportion of the Sena tors and Deputies from the eight States. The United States war vessel Newark ar rived at Laguay yesterday. She -will remain by order of Admiral Gherardl until all the trouble is over so as to proteot the interests of Americans in Venezuela. SUING THE NEW YOBS CENTBAL. Big Damages Claimed by People Who Were Traveling on Pusses New York, March 27. Special. Mrs. Homer E. Baldwin, who was so badly in jured in tho Hastings Railroad wreck on Christmas eve, has brought a suit for $250,000 damages from the Supreme Court against the New York Central and Hudson Elver Railroad Company. Her husband has also filed actions in the same court, as adminis trator of the estates of his mother, Anna M. wmwui, uuu (lis sister, x,uuan Damwm, i both of -whom were killed in the same cci- I V dent, for $5,000 each, the minimum amount recoverable in the event of death. The complaint alleges that the railroad company and its aireotors for several years prior to "the time of the accident In question failed to procure and put in use along the portion of their road where the accident oc ourred appliances suitable for preventing collisions of trains running in the same direction, notwithstanding the faot that these appliances were in practical use on other railroads and on other portions of the Central's system. In their answer the road throws the entire responsibility for the acci dent upon the shoulders of the brakeman, who failed to signal the approaching train, which crashed into the one which was stalled; and further claims that inasmuoh as Mrs. Baldwin and her daughter were trav eling on passes the printed contract on the back of the passes released the company from all damages.

Throughout life Mr. Pardee was a Presbyterian, although not a communicant member of that denomina tion. WHY PASIOB KYEES BESIG5ED. His Congregation Was Cold, His Salary Was Cut Down and He Has an Offer. Rochester, Pa., Marcn 27. Special. Rev. John TV. Myers, pastor of Grace Evangelical Lutheran Church, tendered his resignation last Sunday and again to-day, and it was ac cepted. Several reasons are assigned by Bev. Mr. Myers for his course. The -first is that he does pot have that hearty sympathy and co-operation of tho whole congregation in his work; secondly, by reducing his sal ary from si. 000 to $900 has rendered it impos sible for him to meet his financial obliga tions and support his family: third, he has received a call to another field. The reason assigned for the roduction of salary Is the Inability of the members to pay the amount agreed upon, and not for any feeling nglnst the minister. Bov. Mr. Myers has on several occasloas denounced what he characterized as "sinful amusements," card playing and tho like and in so doing on one occasion is said to have offended certain of the membership. WHY CHBISTIAHlTi" HAS OEOWN. Gibbons, Cardinal, Comments on Seasons Given by GiDbon, Historian. Baltimore, March 27. In the course of the sermon to-day by Cardinal Gibbons,he dwelt upon the reason given by the historian Gib bon for the growth and development of Christianity. Cardinal Gibbons said, in part: "To the philosophic mind, as well as to the Christian, there remains but one adequate cause to account for the growth and contin uity of Christianity in the face of the obsta cles which have confronted her. If the Church has survived, it is in obedience to the decree of God, who has said, 'That the gates of hell shall not prevail against her.' Gamiliel, therefore, was right, when he said: 'Ifthls work (the Church or Christ) be of men, it will come to naught; but ir it be of God, you cannot overthrow it.'

A MUSICIAN'S MANIA, He Imagines That the Young Emperor of Germany Has Wronged Him, and SENDS HIM A CHALLENGE. On Going to the Fatherland to Fight the American Is Locked Up IN A PRUSSIAN INSANE ASYLUM. Bis Wife Trying to Have Secretary Blaine and the President SECURE HER POOR HUSBAND'S RELEASE ;f FECIAL TELEOHAM TO THE DISPATOIM New York, March 27. Mrs. Wilhel mine Gooideler has been very busy for the past eight months writing letters to Presi dent Harrison and Emperor William, of Germany, asking them to aid her in secur ing the release of her husband, Kichard Gooideler, who is confined in the insane asylum of Schwetz, in West Prussia. Kichard Gooideler was a professor of musio in the Pennington Seminary, in New Jersey, last June, when he announced -his intention of going to Germany to fight a duel with Emperor William. Mrs. Gooideler says that her husband was not insane then, and that he is not insane now. In 1862 he was a lieutenant in the Prussian army. His parents were people of wealth and social position. At one time he represented the Northern Pacific Railroad interests in Ber lin, bnt in one way and another he lost much of his money, and he came to this country j where he found different ways of Supporting his wife and two children. He was well educated and a musician of ability. .Emperor William Challenged to Fight Gooideler declared that his relatives in Prussia had robbed him of some of his money by forging his signature. He wrote to Emperor William regarding it, and be cause the Emperor did not interfere he held the Emperor personally responsible. He sent a challenge inviting the Emperor to fight him at Hamm, in Westphalia, July 18, 1891, at three steps' barrier. Mr. Gooideler is an American citizen, naturalized In Ken tucky in 189L Mrs. Gooideler tried to dissuade her hus band from going to Germany to fight the Emperor, but he declared that he was pro voked beyond endurance, and he was deter mined to go. He had announced his inten tion publicly, and shortly after he reached Germany his brother, Judge Gooideler. one or the relatives whom he accuses, had him put in an lnsone asylum. Mrs; Gooideler is living with her children at 414 West Fifty-seventh street. She is sup porting hersell by teaching. She has re ceived several letters from tne Executive Mansion at Washington, which give her very little hope of assistance from the State Department. Mrs. Gooideler admits that her hnsband's mission to Germany was erratic, but she says that he is a very nerv ous man, and his losses in Germany and the way in which his relatives there had treated him enraged him. Grievance Against the State Department. Mrs. Gooideler complained because the State Department at Washington has accepted as conclusive the statement by the directors of the Provincial Insane Asylum, at Schwetz, that Mr. Gooideler is incurably insane. She maintains, also, that, as Gooid eler was arrested for lesemojeste, he is en titled to a trial. She says that he has written her letters which were entirely rational, and she suggests that any American citizen may be kidnaped in Germany and impris oned for life on the pretense that he is in sano, if Mr. Gooideler's sentence is to pass unchallenged by the country of which he is a citizen. " Mrs. Gooideler 3ays of Mr.Gooideler's chal lenge: "Emperor William and Mr. Gooideler belong to the German S. C, an organization composed of former corps- students, the members of whioh organization must give satisfaction with deadly weapons for deadly offenses. The challenge, which read 'three steps barrier, or the German Republic,' was formally conveyed throuch the Corns Guestpbalia, In Halle, to which Mr. Gooide ler belongs, to the Emperor's Corps Borus sia, in Bonn, on April 28, 1891. May 6, 1891, the Emperor visited Bonn, donned a student's dress, and made a rousing speech in favor of dueling, which pledged him to the code. When Mr. Gooideler, who had sailed from New York on the steamer Aller. June 27, 1891, arrived in Bremerhaven, July 7, 1891, Emperor William was away in Eng land, and Mr, Gooideler received a tip to run away, as an order for his arrest had been issued. , Banqueted by Corps Students. "Not being of the runaway klnd,he ignored the hint and -went straightway to Halle, where his friend, Baron von Trebra, intro duced him to the members of the Corps Guestphalia, who entertained him at lunch and dinner, and finally invited him to a grand banquet at whioh corps students of nearly every German university were pres ent. "After attending to some private business of his own in Leipzig and Berlin, Mr. Gooid eler went to Marienweider to visit bis mother and to investigate the true state of affairs regarding his patrimony. At the Marienweider railway station his younger brother. Judge Gooideler, of Marienweider, received him with the Information that he was arrested, charged with the crimo of lae sum majestatls. Thereupon two fellows armed with clnbs seized him forcibly, robbud him of bis baggage and placed him in tre lunatic asylum at Schwetz. "Mr. Gooideler protested against such treatment as a free American citizen, and asked permission to write to the American Minister in Beilin. This was denied. He then asked to be placed before a proper commission de lunatlco lnquirendo. This was also denied, but be received an answer that he would be released as soon as Mrs. Gooideler should claim him through the President of the United States. Mrs. Gooideler has for the last eight months made unceasing but futile efforts to induoe 'this Government to see Mr. Gooideler liber ated and rlchted. "When Mr. Gooideler was kidnaped, as de scribed above, he was traveling under the Srotectlon ot a paspport from this country, Is citizenship papers of the United States and the rules of the German S. C, which had formally indorsed him at Halle." DR. SCTJDDEB'S FATHEB Protests That While lls Son Is Insane He ,1s Neither Forger Nor Murderer. Chicago, March 27. Rev. Dr. Scudder has sent the following letter to a Brooklyn Congregational Church society, which sent him a telegram of sympathy on the occasion of the arrest of his son: "Much Beloved Brethrex Pardon me that I have not earlier responded to your prompt and affectionate telegram, assuring us ot your profound love and sympathy. There is nobody on earth who stands nearer to mv heart than you. We need your pray ers, for all the -woes of our life, if condensed into one, opuld not for a moment be com pared wit this awful tempest of affliction which rages around us. Our dear son is in sane, but he is notamnrderer nor a forger. Tho trial which is coming will vindicate his Innocence. Till then -wo must bear up as well as we can. "The press teems with ingeniously fabri cated falsehoods and with cruelly malignant insinuations. Allow mo to cite one instance: A Chicago paper described an interview as held by me with the Proseonting Attorney, Mr. Longeneoker, and quoted what is said to be what be said to me; while the the simple fact is that I never In mv life, anywhere or at any time, have seen Mr. Longenecker. The tide of this kind of per secution runs all in one way, and we are powerless. Publio opinion is whetted in every way against my son. God alone can save us. Pray for us that out of this horror of darkness light may spring up, and that through this howling storm we may be brought to the shore of a divine deliver ance.

Augusta, Ga., March 27. Special News has been received here of the murder of Bishop Jones, a noted colored divine, in Allendale, S. C, on Thursday night. Jones went to Allendale to preach sanctiflca tion and perfect holiness. He succeeded in getting a considerable following, mostly from the women, supplemented by a tew of the most arrant sinners among the men. Some of the husbands of the women followers obiected to his methods, and anti-holiness people tried to dislodge the Bishop. A short time ago his adherents had gathered enough to build a church. In pronortion to his ad vancement the bitterness against him in creased, and Thursday night "servieo" was going on and the bishop had taken a chair in the pulpit, an assistant commencing to preacb, when a side -window was stealthily opened, and an unearthly report followed. The door of the church was shut and fastened by the murderers, and , upon the discharge of the gun every light was extin guished; Then there was confusion, women screaming and floundering in total darkness, expecting instant death. When a light was Btruok it -was found that their beloved Bishop bad a hole blown through his left breast. His death was instantaneous. The Town Council will give a reward of $50 for the murderers, and the Government will add to it. $3,160 PB0MISED FOB $16 The Local Agent of a Get-Eich-Qulck Con cern Falls to Fulfill His Pledges.

Until it is ratified our conduct is governed by the language of yonr note of June 14, 189a But when it is ratified both parties -must admit that contingent rights have be come vested in the other which both desire to protect. We think that prohibition of sealing, if it stands alone, will be unjust to British sealers if the decision of the arbi trators should be adverse to the United States. Still Insists on the Treaty, "We are, however, willing when the treaty has been ratified to agree to an ar rangement similar to that of last year, if the United States will consent that the arbitrators should, in the event of a de cision adverse to the United States, assess the damages which the prohibition of seal ing shall have inflicted on British sealers during the pendency of the arbitration, and, in the event of a decision adverse to Great Britain, should assess the damages which the limitation of slaughter shall, during the pendency of arbitration, have inflicted on the United States or its lessees. "As an alternative' course, we are also willing, after the ratification of the treaty, to prohibit sealing in the disputed waters if vessels be excepted from prohibition which produce a certificate that they have given security for such damages as the arbitrators may asses in case of a decision adverse to Great Britain, the arbitrators to receive necessary authority on this behalf.

I only ohjeoted to Her Majesty's Government to be liable to acts they have not committed. I am ready to consent to a reference on this point on the following terms: "That in case the arbitrators shall decide in favor of the British Government that Government may ask them further to de cide whether the United States Government have, since 1885, taken any action in Bering .Sea directly inflicting wrongful loss on Brit ish subjects, and if so to assess the damages incurred thereby.

SlBWlth reference to the note which I had the honor to address to you on the 11th inst., I desire to express my deep regret at having failed up to the present time to obtain f l om you the assurance which I had hoped to receive that during the continu ance of our negotiations for the settlement of the fur seal fishery question British seal ing vessels would not be interfered with by United States revenue cruisers In the Bering Sea outside of territorial. waters. Having learned from statements In tho public press, and from other sources, that the revenue cruisers Rush and Corwin are now about to bo dispatched to the Bering Sea, I cannot, consistently with instructions I have received fiom my Government, defer any longer tho communication of their formal pi otest, announced in my notes of the 23d ult.and the 11th inst, against anv such Interference with British vessels.

The undersigned Her Britannic Majesty's Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Pleni potentiary to the United States of America, has the honor, by instruction or his Govern ment, to make to the Hon. James G. Blaine. Secretary or State of the United States, the following communication: Her Britannio Majesty's Government have learned with great concern from notices which have appeared in the press, and the general accuracy of which has been confirmed by Mr. Blaine's statement! to the undersigned, that the Gov ernment of United States have issued instructions to their revenue cruisers about to be dispatched to Bering Sea, under which the vessels or British sub jects will again be exposed, in the prosecu tion of their legitimate industry on the high seas, to unlawful interference at the hands of American officers. Her Britannic Majesty's Government are anxious to co-operate to the fullest extent of their power with the Government or the United States in such measure as may be found to be expedient for the protection of the seal fishery. They are at the present moment engaged in examining, in concort with the Government of the United States, the best method or arriving at an agreement upon this point. But they cannot admit the right of tn'e United States, of their own sole notion, to restrict for this purpose the freedom of navigation of Boring Sea, which tho United States have themselves in former years convin cingly and successfully vindicated, nor to enrorce their municipal legislation against British vessels on the blgh seas beyond the limits of their territorial J urisdictlon. Her Britannio Majesty's Government are therefore unable to pass over without no tice the pnblic announcement of an inten tion on the part of the Government of the United States to renew the acts of interfer ence with British vessels navigating outside the territorial Waters of the United States of which they have previously had to com plain. The undersigned is in consequence in structed formally to protest against such In terference, and to declare that Her British Majesty's Government must hold tho Gov ernment of the United States responsible for the oonsequences that may ensue from acts which are contrary to the established principles of international law.
