Berlin, Dec. 2& CopyrigTii. The de
velopment of tbe Panama scandal in France
watched with interest in thU city. The
course of events in Paris is considered by
ill German politicians to be of the grayest
moment to the empire. The opinion re
cently expressed by Bismarck that Radi
cals and Socialists were at the bottom of
the exposure is accepted generally as cor
rect The Royalists are believed to be only
taking advantage of circumstances, and not
to have bad any guiding influence in pre
cipitating the revelations. The letters from
Paris correspondents encourage this view
of the scandal and its origin, and lead all to
the expectation that if the rumors of Presi
dent Carnot's implication in the scandal be
realized the Anarchiits, Socialists and gen
eral riffraff of Paris, Lyons and Marseilles
will barricade the streets and fight in the
interest of a great upheaval.
In this case the wish is not father to the
thought, as every since the siege of Paris
German statesmen have desired above all
things abroad that Prance should have a
stable government, with strength to heck
tbe turbulence of Socialists and Chauvinists.
Upon such a government Bismarck, Em
peror William I, the present Emperor and
Count Canrivi are known to have built their
hopes for tbe peace of Europe.
All Europe Affected by the Crisis.
The present crisis causes hardly less ap
prehension here than in Paris, and editors
ind politicians utter pessimistic prophecies
as to the probability of a revolutionary out
break. On Wednesday the Conservative
Xichttbott, in a leader entitled "The Begin
ning of the End," dwelt upon the evils
likely to follow to all Europe from the
scandal, and drew a moral lesson lor Social
Democrats and Liberals in Germany con
cerning the "inherent rottenness of repub
lican institutions."
On Friday the VoncacrU, Social Democrat
orjran, retorted:
a ho KicJitsbate Is correct. This is the bo
''Sinning of the end the end of the false
world, hut not the end of democracy, of
sociallsm'and of labor.
The words of Prince Bismarck to a
French journalist, that the action against
De Lesseps and his colleagues was due 'to
the influence of socialism were significant.
He said: "Socialism is the deadly enemy
of thieves; socialism alone is capable of
freeing us from thieves and their spolia
tion. The action of the Socialists in France
is merely the beginning of a general cam
paign against corruption iu ether coun
tries." Trouble for Independent Conservatives.
Herr Von Helldort has got his new-born
party ol Independent Conservatives into a
rather tight place by his sudden enthusiasm
lor the military bill. Among the 20 or
two dozen partisans whom he has counted
among his followers for a few weeks, dis
sensions are already rife, and the addition
of occasional converts from the ranks of
the old parties will hardly compensate for
the disintegration in the organization of the
original members.
Herr Von Helldorf, in fact, enjoys in a
too high degree the privileges of persona
grata at court to be fitted for the leader
ship ot an avowedly Independent party of
any sort, His recent change of attitude
toward the military bill was due to an audi
ence which he had with the Emperor a few
days ago. The Emperor urged him to ig
nore petty differences for a short time and
to bend his energies toward helping the
Government save the military bill. The
first tangible result of this conference was a
conciliatory leader in Herr "Von Helldorf's
Conservative weekly. Iu this article the
Independent-Conservative leader urged the
Deputies in the Reichstag to swallow the
military bill whole, on the ground that its
proposals would lose all economic and
financial value if they were emasculated,
as bad been suggested by several Liberal
members.
No Means ot Ketreat Lett.
In the peroration of this article Herr Von
Helldort said:
Nothing will put such a speedy end to the
perplexity of the situation as proof of a
Ann attltnde on the present Government to
ward an important national task as an ab
solute refusal to countenance bartering.
Any . disposition to trim or temporize
" would impair the good cause. It must be
plain to every German what an injurious
effect the rojectlonof the army bill, or alter
ation of it, would have upon Germany's
military prestige abroad. After the bill has
once been introduced tbe rejection of it
would react most disadvantageous- upon
all attempts to preserve permanently tlio
peace of Europe. There is now no way of
retreat. As tbo matter stands, moreover,
it is the height of phantasy and imagination
to describo this measure on whish the min
istry has staked its life as embodving meie
ly the views or a single person. On tbe con
trary the whole fabric of ourstate authority
rom top to bottom is at stake.
At the reception of the generals on Mew
Year's Day the Emperor is reasonably cer.
tain to make some significant references to
the bilt Meanwhile, despite semi-official
denials, there is no doubt that Count
Capri vi is trying to make political deals
with several groups. He is said to have
secured some assurances from the National
Liberals who are not above a compromise
on terms considered generous by the
Government
Even tbe Clericals Are Conciliator.
The Clericals also show less bitterness
urainst the bllL Most newspapers outside
of the Social Democratic party and Eugen
Richter's group of Radicals buow that the
men behind them are in a conciliatory
mood, and are willing to give the Govern
ment the better side of some mutually ac
ceptable arrangement
The conference of the National Liberals
of the Pfslie held at Nenstadt discussed the
army bill at length, and almost without the
exception of a delegate the representatives
of the party expressed reserved ap
proval of the principal demands of
the measure. The sentiment of most
of the speakers was that the Government
would have asked for an increase of the
military burdens without having become
convinced that such a step was neoestary.
Eventually the conference decided that the
Rhenish Deputies of the National Liberal
party should act in the Reichstag at their
own discretion, in view of the circumstances
that might arise. The general order was,
however, that they should support the Gov
ernment s proposals if the financial part ot
the programme could be made "satisfactory.
No Cabinet Crisis Anticipated.
The North German Gazette has taken ad
vantage of the favorable wind blowing from
such quarters to recall again the merits of
the bill, which have been quite forgotten
in the partisan tumult of the last week.
"There will be no dissolution," says the in
spired editor, "nor any cabinet crisis.
There is every hope that the committee wiU
report in favor of the bill."
On Wednesday tbe same daily commented
on the troubles (n France: "The changes in
the political situation in Europe and the re
newed Increase of other armaments render
evermore possible international troubles.
Of the events in Frauce nobody can foresee
the end." '
The Magdeburg Gazette publishes aspecial
article to prove that Krnpp made his offer
of cannon to Napoleon In 1858, instead of
1868. The firm's Paris office had admitted
the fact during a newspaper discussion of
the subject in 1873.
The municipal authorities of Dresden
have resolved to spend 30,000,000 marks in
improving the citv's public buildings. Six
million marks will be spent in improving
the school sj stein ot the city.
CHICAGO'S RED CHRISTMAS.
Two Men Shuffle Off A Man With an Axe
Shot A Plnkerton Wounded A Con
vert's Confession of Sins Not Ap
preciated. Chicago, Dec. 25. The spirit of "Peace
on earth, good will to men" was not unani
mous in Chicago to-day. It may have
guided the actions of the large majority,
but there was a minority which held to a
different doctrine, and which had the cour
age to put its convictions into deeds of
blood. Iu the niorcue lie the bodies of
two men who have sought in another world
the peace they tailed to find in this.
John J. Regan, an Englishman, was the
first of those enumerated to put nis prin
ciples into practice. He went broke on the
races, broke in pocket and in spirit, and
with a bullet he scattered his brains over
bis bedroom floor. Andrew Benson, a
teamster, celebrated Christmas Eve
by a wholesale absorption of red liquor,
and be ushered in tbe Christmas
morning by slashing his throat with a
knife. Anthony Lavelle was epliting
wood early this morning and called upon
his step-son Joseph Ross to get up and
help. Ross made no reply and Lavelle in
vaded the bedroom with an axe. A fight
followed and Lavelle was fatally shot
Ross, who claims to have acted in self de
fence, was arrested.
Steffano Albeitine is the braised and bat
tered man at the County Hospital. Early
this morning he saw two men in the store
ol his employer, and at once began to shoot,
with the result of lodging a bullet in the
skull of Lieutenant Clarke, ol the Pinker
ton agency, and badly lrightening Watch
man Dawson, of tbat institution. When
Albertine stopped firing, he was immedi
ately hammered almost into insensibility
by the men to whom he surrendered. Both
the police and the Pinkertons say that
Albertine was a thief and that he began
shouting when placed under arrest They
also deny having beaten him. D. Alpirii,
the employer of Albertine, says that he is
no thief, and that he should have killed the
Plnkerton men, who forced their way into
a building where they had no right to be.
He also says that he will take out warrants
for the arrest of Lieutenant Clarke, whose
injury is not serious, and lor Captain Foley,
ot the Pinkertons.
James Williams, 25 years of age, is a
colored man who sought salvation, and will
now be invited by the law to work it out for
himself. He came to Chicago six weeks
ago and one night drifted into the Free
Methodist M;ssion at 598 West Lake street.
After attending several meetings, he went
to the pastor. Rev. D. M. Allen, and de
clared that he had "been touched by the
spirit, and wanted to enter by the Golden
Gate." He was told that he must make a
full confession. Pastor Allen.that he might
not lose a possible convert, took Williams
to the parsonage and kept him
as his guest, omitting no opportunity
to urge him to acknowledge his
sins. Te-night Williams in church stated
that he had a horrible crime on his soul,
The preacher slipped out and got sr police
officer. Williams confessed that tour years
ago he was the cause of the murder of his em
ployer, Charles LaVaurne, in Paris, while
in league with Madame La Vaurne's lover.
The two then went to Louisiana, where
Williams fastened a crime on the lover, a
man named LaFayette.
AN IMMENSE CONCESSION.
The Mexican Government Sells 800,000
Acres of land for 40 Cents an Acre.
City op Mexico. Dec. 25. Special
One of the most valuable and extensive
colonization concessions ever granted by
the Mexican Government has just
been granted to Rafael Dorantes,
a prominent capitalist of this
city. By the terms of the contract the
Government agreed to sell to Mr. Dorantes
800,000 acres ot rich agricultural land in the
States of Tabusco and Chiupus, at 40 cents
an acre. This price is to be paid in five
yearly installments, in paper of the
recognized public debt, commencing
May 1, 1893. The grantee obliges him
self to settle the laud with colonists at tbe
rate ot at least two families to every 1,000
acres, each settler to have 25 acres ceded to
him. To guarantee compliance twith this
contract Mr. Dorantes must within six
months deposit $2,000 in paper of the puK
lic debt in the National Bank ot Mexico.
The concession is subject to the coloniza
tion law of December 15, 1883, now in
force, and the settlers are granted the usual
exemptions and franchises stipulated in all
similar concessions. The titles to the land
will be issued to Mr. Dorantes br the
Government as he pays for- and colonizes
the successive lots. Failure to comply
with any of the stipulations of the contract
incurs its forfeiture, together with the
guarantee deposit

ILL PLEASED TO BEE HIM BACK AGAIN
New York, Dec. 25. Father McGlynn
put on priestly robes and resumed bis
priestly duties again this morning for the
first time since -his excommunication five
years and a half ago. He celebrated mass
In private in St John's College chapel,
Brooklyn, taking advantage of the fact that
it was Christmas. This is the only day in
the year that this privilege is allowed a
priest
A number of Dr. McGlynn's friends were
present The reinstated priest sent a tele
gram to Dr. Henry Carey, of Second ave
nue and Thirtieth street, yesterday, notify
ing him of this fact Dr. Carey is one of Dr.
McGlynn's stanchest supporters. The tele
gram was as follows:
Greetings and love to all friends. 1 shall
celebrate mass to-morrow in Brooklyn.
E. McGltkv.
There is a singular feature in connection
with Dr. McGlynn's return to the pulpit
this morning. It was on Christmas Day
six years ago tbat he received the cable
gram summoning him to Borne. Dr. Mc
Glynn spent the greater portion of yester
day in his sfudy at his home, No. 699
Willoughby avenue, Brooklyn. He denied
himself to everybody except one or two
very close friends and counsellors.
All Pleased Over the Reinstatement.
Dr. Carey, who has been a warm advocate
and friend ot Dr. McGlynn during all tbe
controversy, said yesterday: "We cannot
help viewing this as a victory for the peo
ple, because Dr. McGlynn has been the
people's priest, and was dearly beloved by
them, and they have never ceased to pray
tor this conclusion of the trouble."
Father Malone, of Williamsburg, said:
"I am more than pleased at his restoration
to priestly duties, and he can officiate in
any church where there is opportunity if
he so desires. I must say, too, that I am
most happy to have lived long enough to
know that the ground principle of justice
another name tor Christianity has tri
umphed in the affairs of the Church in this
and many other instances. It is evident
tbat the Holy Father has gone into the
matter deeply and wisely, and the proof
that he Understood the necessities of the
case was shown in sending his representa
tive with plenary powers to this country to
settle all disputed matters. The decisions
or this representative will not be set aside
or questioned, as he is the representative of
the Holy See."
Dr. McGlynn's old parishioners are al
ready makinz efforts to have bim assigned
to his former charge, St. Stephen's Church.
Many of them will attend Dr. Maloue's
church this morning.
The Beginning of the Tannoll.
The more recent doings of Dr. McGlynn,
those which led Immediately to his suspend
sion in 1886 and his excommunication tue
next year, and those which lollowed his ex
communication, have been of such char
acter and volume as to quite cowd the
public eye and mind, and the fact is not
fenerally considered that his contumacy
ates beok very manv years. It is, per
haps, not well remembered that long be
fore the Henry George entanglement Dr.
McGlynn cot into serious trouble and dis
favor with his ecclesiastical superiors and
with Borne because of his connection with
the Irish J,and League doing. Lone be
fore that again h8 was in conflict with his
Archbishop and his Churchy over the school
questiou. At a time when it was optional
whether he should build a parochial school
or not in St Stephen's parish, he refused to
build one.
When the Plenary Council at Baltimore
declared it to be a duty incumbent on
priests to build and maintain parochial
schools wherever possible, Dr. McGlynn
directly opposed the injunction and retused
to obey it It was urged at Borne that his
Opposition was causing great scandal.
Archbishop McCloskey, who was in Borne
at the time, was empowered to deal with
him. But Archbishop McClosky was disin
clined to make serious trouble for Dr. Mc
Glynn, and in his kindness ot spirit
smoothed bver the .difficulties as best be
could without exposing Dr. McGlynn to
the open censure ot his Church.
He Was Denounced to Some.
For his connection with the Land League
agitation in 1882 Dr. McGlynn was de
nounced to Borne by several American
bishops outside this diocese. In August
of that year a letter was sent to Archbishop
Corrigan by Cardinal Simeon!, Prefect of
Propaganda, calling attention to certain
speeches made by Dr. McGlynn, which the
letter declared to be "propositions openly
contrary to the teachings of the Catholic
Church." In September of the same year
another letter came from Cardinal Simeoni,
in which was said:
In consequence of Information received
from various paits about the scandal caused
by the priest ..dward i!cGI nn, of your city,
by his violent soeechos in defense of tlie
Irish. Land League, in whicli he has do
lended propositions openly contrary to the
teachings of the Catholic Church, and has
used language utterly unbecoming lo an
ecclesiastic, the Uoly father has just now
commanded me to write your Eminence to
suspend the above-mentioned priest, Mc
Glynn, from his sacred ministry, unless you
should judge suoli measures excessive, con
sidering tlieTarlous choumstnnees. which
you on the spot are better able than any one
else to appreciate in your well known pru
dence. The letter further hoped that Dr. Mc
Glynn would be brought back to sounder
counsels, and to desist from "the course of
action he has recently followed, to the sur
prise and scandal of all those who have at
heart the-principles of justice always taught
by our holy religion."
The Bead Cause of the Trouble.
These matters were, however, in the toler
ance of the Archbishop, passed over, and it
was not until he went into the Henry
George campaign and the Anti-Poverty So
ciety that he was finally excommunicated.
Somethine " of the character of Dr. Mc
Glynn's alleged contumacy may be learned
'from his speeches and sayings during the
past five years. He is a trained orator,
witty and clever in his words and eloquent
and forceful in his manner. Spoken by an
other man; and especially presented in
type, his saying lose almost all the force
they possess in Dr. McGlynn's mouth. The
circumstances of their utterance, the face,
gesture, and inflection of voioe of the
speaker and the expressive shrug ot the
snoulders'or stamp of tbe foot are needed
to give the force to the phrases they pos
sessed at the speaking.
"Those Italian Mon-see-e-e-n-io-o-o-oril"
spoken in a long-drawn sneer, with a
pursing of the lips, a shrug ot the shoulders
and mock motion ot reverent obeisance was
more expressive of Dr. McGlynn's opinion
of those ecclesiastical dignitaries than
would have been a column of invective in
another man's moutb.
"The old lady in Borne!" he would say
with a ludicrous ibrinkiag.of his big form
DIBPATOH, MONDAY, "DECEMBER 26, ' 1893.
and a mocking twitch of his expressive
mouth.
When he breaks out in open invective
and denunciation his voice is rasping and
bitterly scornful, and he flings out his
words with a sometimes deep, oftentimes
waspish fierceness that seem almost to
sweep him off his feet He will wind up a
tirade with a stamp of his foot that is an in
tended answer to all argument and a sum
ming up of all condemnation.
Borne of the Doctor's Utterances.
Here are some sentences from Dr. Mc
Glynn's harangues before the Anti-Poverty
society:
Men who live in marble palaces, dressed
in purple and fine linen, as IJlves was
dressed, find it in their hearts to condemn
and almost curse the preachers who are
preaching the gospel of Christ
Some old gentleman here told an old gen
tleman in Borne that a priest over here was
talking heresy, so tbe old gentleman in
Borne said, "Suspend him."
It Is the teaching ol all religion, of nat
ural religion, and as well of Catholicism,
that a man who sins against his conscience
sins against the Holy Ghost And if even
the power that sits enthroned within the
Vatican commands a man to violate his con
science, to obey that command 'is to sin
against the Holv Ghost
Even it high Kotnan tribunals summon a
man to answer for teaching scientific truth,
and demand tbst a man retract it, then it is
my duty and every man'r duty to refuse to
retract it
The Archbishop doesn't want priests in
politics, because it is poaching on his pre
serves. It is a fact that he sent for a Demo
crat to assure him that I had been inhibited
from speaking in the George campaign.
This same Archbishop asked me to go down
to Washington to secure preferment for one
of his friends from Cleveland.
I am asked: "What are yon going to do
about this excommunication?" Well, I'm
going to maintain what strategists call a
masterly inactivity. I am going to do
nothing. I would be burned at the 'stake
before I would retract one word I have said
about the ownership ot land.
Some Stinging Sentences.
There is a vast gulf between truth and
holy sacrament and the errors, stupidity,
blunders and crimes with which the history
of the Church tor 1,000 years and more is
filled on every page.
I must teach you to distinguish between
tbe errors and crimes of the ecclesiastical
machine and the ideal Church of Christ
Nowhere is the Church more hated than
in the so-called Catholic countries. There
he (the ecclesiastic) is shunned ss though
unclean. The sight of his shovel hat and
sleek face at the window of a car empties
the whole compartment and gives it to him
alone.
If you want to see an absolute devotion
to the" Church you must look tor it where
the Church has been deprived of her wealth
and benetactions and largely freed from
Rome's domination and diplomacy. ,
These extremely incredibly ignorant
Roman diplomatists want a man at the seat
of our Government just as they have now
sent two Italians to investigate Ireland.
And that noodle of an English Catholic
Lord actually says the Pope told him of his
extreme affection for England, his desire to
be of use to England and his idea that he
might be of use.
An alliance between Cabinet and Pope
would be cheap at millions. They might

RAKING UP OLD EMBERS.
Mgr. Satolll Condemns It in the McGlynn
Matter GratiBed at the Expressions of
Pleasure The Vatican Will Stick to the
Legate.
Washington, Dec. 2& Mgr. Salolli,
Papal legate, is much gratified by the gen
eral expressions of pleasure with which the
restoration of Dr. McGlynn to his priestly
office have been received in New York and
throughout the country. But he deplores
the fact that there has been shown a dis
position to rake up the embers of the old
controversy and recall some of the expres
sions tbat have been used in its continu
ance. "This proceeding," says Mgr. Satolli,
"on the day of peace to men of good
will, on the day of the Doctor's first mass
atter the estrangement of years, is neither
Christian nor gentlemanly. The doctor
bas been absolved, the past Is forgiven and
should be forgotten. To recall it is insult
to him and disrespect to the authority that
knows and has done what was necessary be
fore absolving him."
Regarding the telegram from Borne pub
lished to-day that tne latest reports re
ceived here retarding Mgr. Satolli have
somewhat dampened previous enthusiasm,
and that it is perceived that the gulf be
tween Mgr. Satolli and the American bish
ops will be harder to bridge over than was
supposed, it is stated at the Catholic
University that Mgr. Satolli's private ad
vices from Borne which he receives
frequently are quite to the contrary. There
has been no dampened enthusiasm, it is
stated, and the Vatican has made known
its determination to uphold its legate
against all opposition. Another sentence
in tbe same telegram reads: "President
Harrison is understood to bave viewed tbe
idea of opening diplomatic relations with
Borne more favorably than Mr. Cleveland."
Mzr. Satolli wishes to bave it stated that
there is no desire whatever on his part and
so far as he knows on the part of President
Harrison to open up diplomatic relations
between the Vatican and Washington. At
a visit paid to the President two weeks
ago by Mgr. Satolli, accompanied by Father
O'Gorman, of the Catholic University, it is
said the former expressed his gratifica
tion at welcoming the Papal legate.
Beplying to Mgr. Satolli's expression
of thanks for courtesies extended to nim on
his arrival at the port ot New York, the
President is quoted as stating that those
courtesies were paid him as a representa
tive to the dedication of the World's Fair
buildings of one who had taken the highest
interest in the success of the Fair and was
one of the most valued contributors. Con
tinuing, President Harrison said be was
triad of the occasion the legate's visit
afforded to return his thanks to the Pope.
SLASHED BY A ROOMMATE.
Father and Son Attacked While Asleep In
Their Bed.
Fitchbdko, Mass., Dec. 25. What
will probably prove a fatal stabbing affray
occurred here last evenine. John Felt-'
morse, aged 38 years; Andrew Sampson,
ajed CO years, and Sampson's son Michael,
aged about 25 years, all finish laborers, who
roomed together on Fruit street, had been
drinking together during the evening. The
father and son retired, and at 11 o'clock
Feltmorse came in and sat down on tbe bed.
He assaulted the Sampsons with a sharp
ened case knife. Michael was badly cut on
the arm, shoulder and head, and his father
received a cut across the abdomen, which
caused his bowels to protrnde for eight
inches.
Officers found Feltmorse under the bed
with his clothes covered with .blood. He
had hidden the knife in a shoe'. He denies
having done the deed, but he was identified
by his victims this morning. Tbe chances
for the recoverv of Andrew Sampson are
slight

. Washington, Dec 25. If there is any
meaning to hints that haveTaeen dropped by
members of tbe Plnkerton Investigation
Committee of the Senate, the report of the
committee, which will be presented to the
Senate soon after the holidays, will be of no
uncertain sound.
Senator Gallinger, an old printer and
editor, is now engaged on the revisal of the
proofs. As a matter of courtesy nothing
can be said definitely in regard to the char
acter of the report by any member of the
committee in advance of the presentation of
the conclusions to the Senate, but those
who claim to have learned something of its
tendency assert to the correspondent of
The Dispatch that it will strongly recom
mend legislation on the question of the
maintenance of armed bodies of men in the
employ of private individuals or corpora
tions to be used as the Pinkertons were at
Homestead and other places.
It is asserted that this committee, unlike
a portion ot the committee of the House,
does not find it difficult to decide that the
United States has jurisdiction in this ques
tion, under the constitution. If this be the
fact, it can scarcely be doubted that some
sort of legislation will be accomplished
which will at least prevent the Pinkertons
from being transported from one State to
another, and employed to shoot and kill in
accordance with their own judgment, their
very presence inciting to riot and mob rule
on account of the bitter feeling that has
been aroused against them among the work
ing people.
The probabilities are that members
would tumble over one another to make
speeches in favor of a bill prohibiting
the maintenance of large bodies of "private
detectives" such as the Pinkertons. .
It is probable that a majority of the com
mittee of the House will report in favor of
vigorous legislation, as air ot the committee
except Judge Oates seem to be wheeling
into line in support of the view of Bepre
sentative Bynum", who has no doubt ot the
constitutionality of such legislation. The
reports of both the Senate and House com
mittees will be made very soon alter Con

A HARD TASK FINISHED.
Prodigious Work on the Bering Sea Dis
pute Documents.
"Washington, Deo. 25. Special. The
work of the State Department and counsel
rh preparing the argument in case of the
United States for presentation to ihe com
mission which is to arbitrate the Bering
Sea dispute is practically finished. The
mass of matter is in ihe hands of the at
torneys.' It will make thousands of printed
pages. Not only have all the points in dis
pute in regard to the jurisdiction of the
Bering Sea from the time pf the first ap
pearance of the question been collated
and put in the most presentable
form, but every decision upon every dis
pute, which, by any possibility can be con
strued into a parallel with this celebrated
case, has been sought out and will be cited
by the attorneys for the United States.
Tne volume of the translations from foreign
argument and decision is in itself immense,
and the translators who could be depended
upon to construe the .foreign text properly
have been worked almost to death. Fre
quently of late the work of the clerks has
been extended far into the night, Secretary
John W. Foster, who will De one ot the
counsel, staying as long as any of the em
ployes. Senator Morgan, who is one of the judges
in the case, now bas tbe complete argument
of the United States in his possession, and
is spending all his time in tbe study of it
He appears no more in his seat at the Sen
ate. It is probable that no man in the
country makes so careful a stuay of any
subject upon which he is called to give his
judgment as Senator Morgan. No man in
the Senate, assuredly, goes into such an ex
haustive analysis of great questions
as he. If "he ever gets .an op
rjorinnitv to vent his views at length
when the arguments of counsel are fin
ished and the arbitrators are in nnai con
sultation, he will give the foreign com
missioners a dose of law, logic, precedent
and diplomacy such as they probably have
never heard." One of the counsel in the
case tells the correspondent of The Dis
patch that the work of the State Depart
ment under the direction of Secretary Fos
ter has been the most prodigious and ex
haustive ever performed there in any great
international dispute, and believes that no
such case has ever been prepared as
thoroughly as this one.

CONSOLATION FOR CARTER.
If Montana Should Have a Republican leg
islature no 3Iay Be Senator.
Washington-, Dec. 25. 5rtalThe
latest news Irom Montana that a decision
of local Judges made yesterday gives the
Bcpublicans ot that State a majority in the
Legislature, is received with a grain of salt
in this political capital. The statement in
the telegrams, wnile asserting the Itepubli
can majority, is conlnsingas to details. If,
however, the estimate be correct, it is ex
pected here tbat "Tom" Carter will console
himself lor hit discomfiture as chairman of
the National Republican Committee by his
election to the Senate or the Ohited States.
Senator Sanders, whose term expires
March 3, nnd who is a candidate for re-election,
can well be dispensed with, but it is
Questionable if the representation of Mon
tana would be greatly improved by the in
troduction of Carter.
Takl him as a whole, the far-Western
politician is neither charming nor classic,
but it is probable that in none of the new or
old far-Western States is there so much
room tor improvement in the character of
its representation in Congress as Montana,
and the Seijate majority which admitted
Sanders and Power is not to be compli
mented lor its legal judgment or its sense
of moral obligation. This first Senatorial
election held in Montana was not a pleas
ing one to contemplate. It should have
been declared void, but tbe votes of Sanders

A WAR TIME STORY.
Speaker Crisp and Colonel Fellows Becall
an Old Acquaintance.
Washington-, Dec. 23. Special The)
Pott to-day tells the following interesting
little story about the Speaker of the House
and New York's "little giant" in that body:
Sneaker Crisp and Qolonel John B. Fel
lows, of New York, were chatting over war
times as they sat together In the former'
room. "1 remember," said the Speaker,
that In Fort Donaldson, when 1 was a prlsl
oner there, another prisoner named Colonel
Fellows, from Arkansas, used to he regarded
by us as a great orator, and he esed to make
speeches to ns twice or three times a day.
It was dnrl ns the time that we were dlsous
sing whether we should take the oath or
not"
wblle the Sneake r was talking Colonel
Fellows' face broke out into a. smile. "I was
that Colonel Fellows ."he said, "and I re
member you now. Ton were a young chap
abont 17 or 13 years old, were you nott"
"Yes," s aid the Speaker, "and you tolduaj
not to take the oath until we knew for a cer.
talntythat the Confederate Army had sun
rendered."
"I never did ta ho the oath," was Colonel
Fellows' reply. "I held that I owed my
allegiance to tbe Confederate Government,
and not to General Lee. When the entire
Government surrendered I was willln g to
take the oath, but General Schenf would not
let me. I went out on parole and I never
bave'taken the oath except as an officer of
the Government."
The Speaker tooK the oath after the war,
and Colonel Fellows said that he had been
better treated by the Federal Government
than by the mugwump Demoorats.
