SATOSS SOMEWHAT OP A SCANDAL
1EFECIAI, TELEGRAPHIC LETTER.)
Bureau or The DisrATOH, I
ArASHiwoTox. D. C. April 12. (
Kothins could better illustrate the tri
fling spirit of members of the National
Legislature than the performance which oc
cupied most of the time of the Senate this
afternoon. Sentor Chandler, probably the
most blindly partisan member of the
"American House of Lords," in speaking
to the joint resolution of Senator Palmer,
of Illinois, providing for an amendment to
the Constitution making Senators electire
by a direct popular vote, referred to epi
sodes in the personal political history of
the author of the resolution.
Chandler, though he has breathed the
divine atmosphere of New England culture
all his life, has not acquired a high degree
of proficiency in the exact art of good man
ners,and -was offensively personal; and natur
ally his remarks demanded a response from
Mr. Palmer. That distinguished Senator,
though he yet possesses a charm of per
sonality and afiability which begets genuine
admiration and affection from all who meet
him, has reached an age in years and in
public life when the past seems to be all
important and the future ot little moment,
and when men begin to look upon their own
careers as involving the best that is in the
history of their country.
Palmffr His Own Biographer.
Possibly it should not be surprising,
therefore, that he indulged in a tedious and
garrulous explanation of his own political
acts. He analyzed his party affiliations and
changes of political costume ad nauseam,
regardless of the great question under con
sideration. In the course of his remarks he referred
to his colleague. Senator Cullom, in a way
which set that deceased candidate for the
Presidental nomination going upon another
autobiography, which was doubtless very
interesting to him, and possibly to a few
personal friends, but Which was of abso
lutely no importance to the country at
large.
Thus hour after hour and day after dav
are wasted by members of both Houses of
Congress, in performances which contain
not a single suggestion of concern for the
substantial interests of the great public
nhich these gentlemen are supposed to rep
resent Bills of importance are delayed by
this worse than waste of time, and sre lost
in the confusion and hurry of the closing
weeks of the session.
Vanity, Vanity, AH Is Vanity.
If it were not for this obstruction of
thines important, such elderly vanity might
be excusable to any extent, as, In itself, it
is amusing if not instructive. In the pres
ent condition of social affairs, with discon
tent manifest on all sides and demands for
remedies and reforms becoming constantly
more portentous, it is a tragical comedy
which suggests the complacency of Nero
while Home burned at his feel.
The activity of ambitions dotaee begot
attention for Senator Palmer at tn.e other
end of the Capitol as well as 'in the Senate.
The Senator's fond imagination that he is a
candidate for the Presidental' nomination
led him to write a criticism of the Bland
silver bill, which was published in a Chicago
newspaper, though the writing was care
fully deferred until after the bill was gen
erally supposed to be dead,
A candidate for office will even kick a
corpse if it will serve his purpose. The
gist of the criticism is that the bill was not a
free coinage bill, an argument which was
originated in the very forcible speech made
weeks ago in the House by ex-Lieutenant
Governor Stone, of Pennsylvania.
Presidental Candidates as Sail Trimmers.
Sir. Bland secured half an hour during
consideration of an appropriation bill, and
literally jumped on Palmer with both feet,
but he really tailed to touch the kernel of the
matter by forgetting that the Senator had
awaited, like a careful politician, until he
could well decide which was the stronger
position on the silver question, through the
virtual defeat of the Bland bill. The trim
ming of Hill, Gorman, Palmer and other
aspirants' for the Presidency upon those
questions, renders the frankness and cour
age of Cleveland all the more admirable.
No official announcement has yet been
made of the action of the Senate in execu
tive session yesterday in declaring vacant
the office of executive clerk, held for nearly
20 years by James R. Young, one ot the pro
prietors of the Philadelphia Star, and a
brother of that notable writer and diplo
matist, Jchn Russell Young. As Mr. Young
was not called into the executive session,
and as he is alleged by a majority of the
Senate to be the medium through which
news of secret sessions leaked to the public,
it may be curious to inquire how the word
of his dismissal got out, as unusual precau
tions were taken to prevent the disgraceful
performance from reaching the outside
world.
3Ir. Tonne's Friends Indignant.
There can be no doubt of the truth of the
reported proceedings, though Mr. Young
has not yet been inlormed of his dismissal.
Possibly a body which could act so despica
bly as to dismiss in disgrace an old and
honorable officer without giving him the
least chance for defense may not think it
necessary to even inform that officer that he
is dismissed.
Anything like the denunciation of those
Senators who voted in favor of this infamy
which has been heard on all sides to-dayhas
not been known before within my experi
ence at the capital, and so hot hare been
'the criticisms and so close to the ears of
these Senators that there is already talk of
a reconsideration of the matter, at least to
give Mr. Young a chance to be heard.
Senators Quay and Cameron are both
charged in certain quarters of having fav
ored Mr. Young's dismissal, but both gen
tlemen make a flat denial of that assump
tion. Still the Corporation Is Happy.
A genuine storm of indignation swept
over the city to-day when the action of the
House yesterday in regard to an extension
of privileges to the great Metropolitan
Street Kailway Company became generally
known, and, as was described in my lette'r
of last evening, even members of the Senate
District Committee, who have usually been
as tender of the feelings of corporations as
their brother attorneys of the House, de
nounce and pretend not to understand the
action of the House in granting further ex
tension of a rear to the company for the
change from horse to mechanical power, and
in giving them the privilege now prohib
ited by law to erect overhead electric wires.
The bill was hurried over to the Senate
to-day, and public feeling in antagonism to
it may induce some plain talk in that body
when it comes up for discussion.
More than one Senator broadly hinted to
me that the influences which had been at
work in the House to secure tho passage of
the bill would not bear analysis.
A Great "VTant ot ConsUtency.
It seems that the claim of the company,
that the extension is desired because tho
storage battery or independent motor iys
tem is not yet perfected, was disingenuous,
from the company's own acts and reports.
Their own expert, after an exhaustive in
vestigation, reported that the storage
battery system would now operate as suc
cessfully and with as little interruption as
any other, and that this report was ac
cepted by the company as perfectly satis
factory. In 'the face of all this the company is
suddenly granted another year for the
change, and also the. highly objections!
privilege of erecting overhead wires. The
very act suggests a concealed scandal which
can can hardly be indorsed by the Senate or
the President.
Not a Democratio Congressman from
Pennsylvania was to. be seen in his seat in
the House to-day. All of them are In
Harrisburg for the convention, Much
interest is manifested here in the result of
the factional strife in Pennsylvania which
is using the enthusiasm felt lor this or that
Presidental candidate for its own purposes.
11111 Anxious About Pennsylvania.
It is believed here that, while a failure of
instructions favorable to Cleveland may not
greatly hurt the prospeotsof the ex-President
as a candidate, if the convention
should escape from the rule of Pattison and
Harritv and show hands representative of,
the real sentiment of the State, it will give
the Cleveland boom an immense impetus.
Senator Hill manifested much restlessness
to-day, and freely admitted to his friends
his great anxiety in regard to Pennsyl
vania. Anything except direct instructions to
Cleveland will suit HilL While Pennsyl
vania is not a "pivotal State," Hill recog
nizes keenly the unfavorable effect which
would result from instructions for Cleve
land, or even an uninstructed delegation.
So far as Hill is concerned, his interests and
Pattison's are for the moment identical.
The result of the convention is awaited
here with greater interest than any event
since the Hill cirens. Liohtnek.

It ltk People Over 3,000,000 Acres for
"White Men to Gobble.
El Eeno, Okia., April 12. Big Tree,
the chief ot the Kiowas, who was in El
Beno yesterday, drew his blanket around
him and delivered himself of the expressive
statement: "The boomers, their sqnaws
and papooses sprung up, and are as many
as the blades of grass on the Washita in the
spring.
Then, contrary to all Indian traditions, he
laughed. Bis Tree's statement was correct
the boomers are as thick as grass on the
banks of the "Washita in the spring. Every
hour brings more of them to the border
than ever before. Reports from the "West
are that they are even drawn up along the
"Western border ready to take up the most
desirable part of the new country, but most
of them are massing upon the East and
Southeast. The "Washita country, which
runs up into the new country, affords an ex
cellent chance to get well into it for a quick
run, and it is beinc filled with boomers.
A very good estimate can be formed of
the desirability of the land in the different
counties from the number of the Indian
allotments in each, for the Indians have
undoubtedly sought for the best lauds.
In Kingfisher county 105 allotments
have been taken; in Canadian
county, 542; in county C, 1,283; in
county D, 459; in county F, 868; in county
U, 4z5; in county G, 329, and in county E,
none at all. County E is the northwestern
county of the new tract and is of the same
character of soil as No Man's Land. The
Indians all together have taken up 3.329
allotments or 432,640 acres, leaving over
3,600,000 acres for the white men.
Governor Seay has decided to open the
town sites at 3 o'clock on the day of the
opening. He has been given the authority
to decide in this matter by Secretary Noble,
because he was in a better position to know
the condition of the surveys than the head
of the department at. "Washington. The
differences in time between the opening of
the country and the opening of the town
sites will give the town builders a chance
to reach every one of the six county seats in
time for the opening.
Hot Spbutqs, Abk., April 12. J. S.
Clarkson, of the Bepublican National
League, said to-day, that the Bepublican'
National Leagne Convention would proba
bly be held at Buffalo, N. Y., the last
week in June, bringing it in session at the
same time as the Democratio National
Convention at Chicago. He said the con
vention would have been held in March or
April, as heretofore, except that the last
National Convention peremptorily directed
that it shonld not be called earlier than two
weeks after the holding of the Bepublican
Convention. Therefore the League clubs
will meet in the Empire State, the
battle ground of 1892, tbe last of June to
hold a ratification meeting to make their
programme of action for the campaign. Mr.
Clarkson added:
Tbe number or league clubs has lnoreased
nearly 4,000 in the last year and nearly 400,000
in membership. There are now about 14,000
clubs, with a membership of 1,750,000: a com
pact, organized and active force ready for
the campaign, made up largely of tbe young
blood of tbe pi ty. These olubs have done
educational and recruiting work all winter,
and now are ready to turn Into marching
clubs for tbe campaign. It is a powerful po
litical force, made up of men of the highest
character, bringing tbe scholar, the young
business man and tbe brightest-minded
young men into active politics.
The attendance at Buffalo will be tho
largest in the history of the league. The
Republicans of Buffalo and New York will
give tbe visitors a generous welcome. Many
marching clubs will attend In uniform, In
cluding clubs from colleges and high schools,
several hundreds of which bave been organ
ized within tho last six months, embracing,
among others, a club of 1,200 In Harvard Col
lege anu one oi uuu in mo university oi
Michigan.
, For awhile It was Intended to hold the
National Convention in New York City In
September, and, therefore, many olubs pro-
Bosed attending tbe Bepublican National
onvention In Minneapolis. Now the most
of the clubs will tro to Buffalo and help to
give an early energy and increased aud in
fectious power of enthusiasm to tbe Repub
lican campaign. We confidently expect to
have Blaine, Fred Douilass.HcKinley, Reed,
Fassett, Burrows, Dolllver, Thurston and
others as speakers at Buffalo, as well as
many of the young orators of the leagne
itself. Bv that time, too, w intend to bave
17,000 or 18,000 clubs ana 2,000,000 members.

VOTING BY MACHINERY.
The Myers System Severely Tested In a
Local Election at Lockport, N. T and
Found to Tfork Admirably Economy,
Safety and Secrecy of Ballots.
Lockpoet, N. Y., April 12, The town
of Lockport used the Myers voting machine
at its annual election to-day. There were
three tickets in the field, besides ballots "for
and against several appropriations. The
novelty of the voting by machine brought
out a very large number of voters, but not
withstanding the severity of the test the re
sult was most remarkable. The voting pro
gressed rapidly from the start, and nothing
but praise has been heard from any voter.
The polls opened at 8:30 A. M. The prep
aration of the machine and opening of the
polls, including the adjustment of the me
chanical counter at zero, which is the
equivalent of the empty ballot box, occu
pied but a few moments. The early
voting was done rapidly, the time occupied
by each voter ranging from 8 to 12 seconds,
while the general average throughout the
day was probably 20 seconds. The total
number ot votes polled was 440. The polls
closed at precisely 6:30 p. M., and the actual
votes polled and the number which each
candidate received were instantly exposed
by opening the locked and sealed sliding
doors. Five minutes later tho result was
transcribed to the return tally sheets.
Among the demonstrated advantages of
the new system are its economy, as it re
quires only two inspectors, one acting as
doorkeeper of the machine and the other
keeping the record or poll list It affords
absolute secrecy, and it is practically im
possible to falsify the returns. Tho machine
used to-day is the one that Mr. Mvera has
exhibited at various places during tho past
two years. It has recorded over 132,000
votes, and has not yet been broken or made
an error.

tions indorsing the provisions of the Mc
Kinley bill, and denouncing the attempt of
the Democrats to place wool on the free

heartily approved of. A resolntion was
also passed indorsing the candidacy of

New York, April 12. The existence of
a band of firebugs and Anarchists in Brook
lyn was discovered to-day. Two men are
in jail. One of the accomplices of the gang'
has made a full confession to the specific
charge on which he and his principal are
under arrest. The police and Fire Marshal
are convinced that they have at last caught
the incendiaries who are responsible for
most of the tenement house fires in Brook
lyn since January 1.
The confession of the accomplice describes
in detail the methods employed by the
villains. This description shows that tbe
arson was the work of men who not only were
familiar .with strong combustibles, but were
intelligent enough to lay their plans with
circumspection which long defied investi
gation. They would go to the dwellers in
tenement houses who carried proportion
ately large insurance on their furniture and
propose to burn the house or rooms of such
persons and take a percentage "of the insur
ance money in payment for their work.
Threatened With Poisoned Finger Nails.
They usually sought, according to their
confessions, to intimidate their new accom
plices by threatening them with swift and
mysterious death. They told the accom
plice, who has made tbe confession, that
they would scratch him with poisoned finger
nails if he ever divuhjed the crimes which
they had committed.
The incendiary fire which led to the arrest
of the two men now in jail, was started in
the Tooms of John Gottlieb Steinbrenner on
March 29. The house is a tenement. The
flames were checked before they had done
much damage. After the fire had been put
out Fire Marshal Lewis found in the rooms
three bladders filled with strange combusti
bles. Most of the furniture had been taken
away. What was left in the rooms was not
worth more than 540. Steinbrenner was in
sured for $700 in the Guardan Company.
Steinbrenner was arrested and confessed
that the premises were set on fire with a
volatile combustible held in a kind. of a
bladder, with a fuse attached. Gunpowder
surrounded the fuse in a piece of muslin,
which was sewn together to prevent the
powder from being separated; then some
brown paper, folded, was used to start the
fire.
He Gives the Ringleader Away.
"He named Herman Albrecht as the prime
mover in the conspiracy, as the person who
supplied the material for causing the fire,
and who was to receive 550 when Steinbren
ner collected his insurance. Albrect was
also arrested. He denies having fired the
tenement himself. He says a Portuguese
Anarchist went with him to the place, and,
after he (Albrecht) had unlocked the door
the Portuguese went in and lighted one of
the fuses. John Schiebel, Bertha Schiebel
and four little Schiebels occupied the rooms
directly back of the Steinbrenners. Had the
explosion occurred as designed they would
have probably been killed. There were
about 20 tenants in the building, which was
a three-story brick structure, when the
Steinbrenner tenement was fired.
Albrecht is an Anarchist well-known to
the police of Brooklyn. He has a defiant
manner. He told Detective Campbell he
met the Portuguese, jn this city one day,
and there planned to-burn, kill and pillage
and to foster Anarchist' ideasT He pretends
not to know the Portuguese's, 'name. The
police are looking for him, and if, he has
not already escaped tbey expect to get him
dn a few days. Albrecht is a leader in the
Williamsburg Anarchist colony, to which
'the murder of Mrs. Boschinsky and her son
Isaac last December were traced.
Albrecht's Portuguese accomplice, the
police say, must be an experienced chemist.
The composition of the volatile substance
in the bladder bombs shows the work of a
man well acquainted with chemistry.
