CIIARLEMANGE TOWER'S CANDIDACY He. litis lleon Urged lly Senator Pen rose, lor an Ambassadorship to Our .lliiiiy or Italy--Dr. .Murdoch Seems in u I'nir Way to Co to Dublin. Ituprcxuntntivc Kulp 1'rcscnts the. Name oil,. T. Itohrbnch lor Collec tor of Internal Jtcvciiuo in the Twe.lUh District. Special to the Scranton Tribune. Washington, March 1C This IjoIiib cabinet day there was not the usual rush of visitors at the while house. Among tlu early callers were Senator Penrose and ltepresentatlves Council, Kulp, JJittlcr, Davenport, Olmstend, Hicks and Kobblns, of Pennsylvania. Senator JVniose today again present ed Chuiiemnnge Tower to the president for an ambassadorship and urged lita speedy api)olntment. The fact that the ainbassndois to England and Fiance were nominated today and those to (ler niar.y and Italy withheld is regarded as an Indication that the president has not yet lully made up his mind as to whom to appoint to the remaining two big missions. It Is generally believed however that Air. Tower, if he gets any thing, will have to be content with something smaller. Up to dale, Penn sylvania has no other applicants for ambassadorship, and as far as known the Keystone state delegation will not present anybody elre. Dr. Murdoch, of Pittsburg, who is a candidate lor consul to Belfast, today called on the president and filed his papers. This post Is now held by Kdi lor Taney, of the Wheeling Register. .John J. Piatt, of Cincinnati, a relative of the late Don Piatt, Is also a can didate for that position. lie was con sul to Dublin under the Harrison ad ministration. Dr. Murdoclc is endorsed by Senators Quay and Penrose and the majority of the members of congress from Pennsyl vania as well as the leading citizens of Pittsburg and Philadelphia. He is an old acquaintance of the president and believes that he will be appointed. CANDIDATE FOPv XUltEMllERG, Uev. 15. Jl. Zimmerman, of Jeanetto, Pa., a candidate' for consul to Nurem berg, was presented to the president to day by Senator Penrose and Represen tative Itobblns. He tiled his papers with the secretary to the president. Dr. Pitcalrn, of llarrlsburg, who Is a can didate for consul to Dresden, Germany, has two opponents fiom his own state. They are both from Pittsburg. Their names are A. G. llutry and ex-General Western Fi eight Ayent Cole, of the Philadelphia and Heading railroad. Representative Kulp presented the application of 1,. T. Uohrbach, ot North umberland county, to be collector of internal revenue of the Twelfth district. It Is believed that Representative Con nell, of Scranton, will have the nam ing of the collector for that district. Mr. Connell's visit to the president to day was of a social nature. He will talk business later on. John Russell Young is said to be slated for the ministership to China, which post lie tilled during Grant's sec ond administration. His principal op ponent is ex-Secretary of State John W. Foster. Representative Hicks to day presented to the president and Sec retary Miss W. A. Hammond, of Altoo na, who is an applicant for assistant secretary of the inteiior. Secretary Rllss promised to give air. Hammond's application careful consideration. State Senator Chris Mageo arrived here this evening from Harrisburg to meet some friends from North Dakota. He expects to leturn to the state cap itol early tomorrow morning without calling on the president. PENSION BILL PASSED. Other Business Transacted at Regu lar Sessions Vesteulay. Washington, March 1C In the senate today one pension bill was passed, and several bundled bills, public and pri Mite, were Introduced and referred. There was hardly one of them which had not been on the calendar or on committee Hies in the last congress. When Mr. Allison, of Iowa, In gentle remonstrance against the passage of the one pension bill ($r,0 a month to the widow of General John 13. Stevenson) suggested that Its passage today would not expedite Us becoming law, and when Mr. Vest, of Mlssouil, expressed his belief that It would, and that he could get action on It In the house, the Iowa senator looked incredulous and express ed Ills great admiration for the Mis souri senator's counUunije. In connection with the extension of civil service rules to the construction of public works In chaige of the engi neer department of the army, Air. l'rye, of Maine, referred to those rules as "an awful outrage" and as "absolutely ab surd and stupid." The senate spent over two hours to day In the discussion of the credentials of John A. Henderson, appointed by the governor of Florida to till the vacancy caused by the expiration of the term of Senator Call. An effort was made by Mr. Pascoe, of Florida, to have Mr. Henderson admit ted to the seat, but It was resisted on both sides of the chamber as incon sistent with the action of the senate a few years ago In refusing seats to ap pointees of the governois of Wyoming, Montana ami Washington. Finally Mr. Puscne yielded and permitted the matter to bo referred, as were the like cases this session fiom Kentucky and Oregon, to the committee on privilege and election. At 2.110 p, in. the senate ad journed till Thursday. AMI1ASSADORS APPOINTED.

Representative Overstreet resides In In dlatnpolls, where the International union has Its headquarters. The pro test was made on the ground that Col onel Otis Is opposed to organized labor and now employs non-union printers oi his newspaper. No Intimation of the Intention legnrdlng Colunel Otis was made by the president. Senator Penrose, of Pennsylvania, headed a number of congiessinen of his state who wanted to talk over appoint ment applications of constituents. Rep resentative Arnold and Senator Penrose endorsed W. Irvln Shaw, of Clearfield, Pa., for consul at Bordeau, France. ARBITRATION TREATY. The President and Secretary of State Will Subscribe to the Document. Good Peeling Prevails. Washington. March 16. There Is every Indication of a much freer Interchange of views and of confidences between the state department and the committee cm foreign relations of the senate since the advent of the new administration. The visit of Secretary Sherman to the capltol this afternoon was entirely un expected and the first that was known of his visit was when, after his lunch, a messenger informed Chairman Davis that Mr. Sheiinan was at the committee room. An Impromptu meeting was called and for an hour the committee and the new secretary of state conferred about our relations with other powers. Mr. Sherman was naturally anxious to know what headway had been made with the arbitration treaty and when he was told that It was expected to make a favorable report tomorrow the secretary expressed his pleasure. It is well known that President McKinley and his secretary subscribe to the tieaty and the purposes for which it was negotiated, but believe that It should be amended In some particulars. Secretary Sherman expressed his satis faction at the determination which had been reached by the committee to leuve the scope of the treaty untouched, but to make such changes in Its administra tive feature as would leave in the act the treaty-making power of the Uni ted States. This Is to be accomplished by an amendment providing that all questions to be submitted for arbitra tion under the general treaty should first be submitted to the senate for Its approval or disapproval. This places the United States on the same footing with Great Britain in this matter. Mr. Sherman urged that the treaty be re ported and put forward In the senate with as much speed as the magnitude of the subject would justify. There was also a considerable discus sion relative to the construction of the Nicaraguan canal question which is bound to come prominently to the front during this congress. Mr. Sherman Is favorable to this project but has taken the ground In his speeches In the senate that tile canal should be constructed through the instrumentality of the Uni ted States alone, rather than through the agency of a private corporation aid ed and assisted by this government In the matter of bonds. It is understood that he told the com mittee today he had hopes of securing another concession from Nicaragua and that the initial. steps would soon be taken with that end In view. While Mr. Sherman was present the Cuban situation was touched upon and while members decline to make any statements about what took place In the committee room they all appear to be. pleased with the conference. It was openly stated that the senate and the country would be put in possession of all the facts concerning the troubles In Cuba and that the policy of suppress ing the n. -s would no longer prevail. GREEK FLEET DEPARTS. With the Exception of Two Small War ships the Entire Squadron Leaves Cretan Waters. Canea, March 1C As a result of the operation of the blockade of Cretan ports by the combined fleets of the powers, the Greek squadron, with the exception of two small warships, left Cretan waters today. Paris, March 10. M. Ilanoteaux, min ister of foreign affairs, made in the senate today a dedal atlon of the pul ley of France In the matter of the Greco-Cretan situation similar to that which he made In the chamber of depu ties yesterday, when he announced that France would adhere to the con cert policy and at the conclusion of his statement asked for a vote of confi dence In the government. The senute then attested Its confi dence lu the government's policy by a vote of 210 to 32. Athens, March 1C. A prolonged meeting of the cabinet was held today, The ministers discussed at irreat length the attitude to be taken in the event of the powers attempting to coerce Greece Into a compliance with their demands. It Is stated that no disposition was shown to accede to the demands, mid that It was finally de elded to take active measures as the only possible solution of the difficulty. It is thought that by active meas ures is meant a declaration of war against Turkey, which, in Its effect, would be to givo Greece the right to maintain her army In Crete and de pilve the powers of any right of Inter ference, Seven Toll Gates Destroyed, Lexington, Ky .March 16. .Seven toll gutes were destroyed In -Mercer county lust night. One house wub burned, ano ther fired, and the keeper badly shot. CAPITOL BUILDING RESOLUTION FAILS It Is Voted Down by Members of the House.

TI'INN'rCRSEH CF.NTRNNIAU When the house met at 10 o'clock this morning .Mr. Patterson, of lilalr, offered a resolution providing for the appointment of a Tennessee centennial commission, which was referred to the committee on centennial affairs.

BUILDING RESOLUTION. The senate resolution Instructing the senate and house committees on public buildings to confer with the governor on the new eaoitol question and make a report not later than .March 17, was taken from the table. Mr. Bliss; of Delaware, was opposed to the resolution. He thought it was time for conference with the governor and with each other to cease and get down to business and pass a bill. After a bill had been passed the governor would have his light under the consti tution to communicate his further views. He declared that he had views on the rebuilding of a capltol, and de sired to express them on the lloor of the house. Mr. Neshlt, of Northumberland, said in ills opinion the legislature should take the Initiative In this matter, not the governor. It was his light to act on a bill' when It reached him. .Mr. Focht, of Union, and .Mr. Gould, of Hrle, said they had decided views on the question and w Idle they had no crit icism to make on the governor'' seal In the matter, they were opposed to committing- themselves to the use of the old walls and foundations at this time.

The ileugy bill providing that the ma terials for the new capltol shall be fur nished by Pennsylvania linns or eor poiatlons and that none but citizens of Pennsylvania shall be employed in the construction of the bulldlig was amend ed by striking out "Pennsylvania" u,nd Inserting "United States," the vote be ing SI to C(i, Mr. Woodruff moved to lift Bwllif r Willi tftliK, LATEST PORTRAIT postpone the bill Indefinitely and this provoked further discussion.

Harrisburg, Pa., March 10. Senator Oobin said tonight that Rev. Dr. Swal low would not bo arraigned before the bar of the legislature for alleged con tempt in refusing to testify before the capltol lire investigating committee un til after the trial of the libel suits which begin tomorrow in the Dauphin county court. This Is In accord with the pro gramme agreed to at a conference last week between some of the parties inter ested in the suits and members of the senate and house judiciary general com mittee. Senator Gubln is directly Inter ested In the case and tnlnks 11 Is wis to delay action in the contempt proceed ings until after the trial. A joint meeting of the senate and house buildings commission was held today at which It was decided by a vol" of ten to six to recommend that Dr. Swallow be arraigned before the bur of the house and senate to be dealt with as the two bodies see fit. The com mittee thiuks tho doctor should be forc ed to divulge the names of those win gave him the Information that the capl tol fire was the result of carelessness. Those who voted against the recommen dation that the editor-preacher be held in contempt are Representatives K tu tor, Moore (Chester), Dixon, Chldsey. Bntton and Phelps. Those who wanted Dr. Swallow ar raigned at once took the position that his refusal to testify was an indlgnlt which the legislature ought not to over look. Mr. Keator contended that the doctor refused to Live the names be fore the conimltlee because he was threatened with a suit for libel and that in view of the pending suit lie was justified In refusing to do or say any thing which would tend to iuciinilnate hiiiibelf. The leport of the committee was referred to the senate judiciary general committee with' instructions to repoit at 11 o'clock tomorrow morning. Krie and Knteni Railroad. llanisbiirg. March Hi.

A Sport Who Has Examined Corbett and Fitzsimmons Declines to Risk a Dollar on Either Pugilist. Carson, New, Mureh 1C This after noon the weather was bad and the clouds threatened rain or snow. The klnetoscnpe people can take pictures In such a light, however. The weather bureau indications this afternoon say fair tomuirow. Dan Stuart says there will be no postponement unless there Is a heavy snow or rain slot in. Later a strong bieeze from the south swept away the clouds and the sun beat down on the battleground fiom a clear sky. Fitzslmmon's tight wrist, which he sprained while boxing with Illckey at Colorado Springs a month ago, and which he has favored in his training, Is as sound as ever. Bob tiled It this morning In the most severe manner without pain. He will wear no band ages on his hands tomorrow. Corbett Is absolutely without blem ish. His hands, usually tender, are hard as nails, and there Is not a sore tendon or an aching joint In his body, lie never received a scratch while training, and was fortunate in avoid ing cold and chills. The Australian seemed a trifle careless in exposing himself and did not hesitate to Indulge lu hot mineral baths, which he claimed broke up his cold, lie Is more rugged than Coibett and his complexion re sembles crimson parchment. Both men were examined this morning by a sport who has money to bet. After looking them over carefully he decid ed not to wager a dollar. The betting In the Paris Mutuals is slow. Corbett, Green and Hawkins are the favorites. Fltzslmmons, Smith and Flaherty are second choice. The bookmakers a-'c offering 10 to 0'i, Corbett being the fa vorite. There Is still little Fltzslmmons money In slcht. Challenges to the winner from Shar key, Cioddard and Maher will be read by the master of ceremonies, who has not yet been selected. The long-looked for sports from the east and the west arrived today and discharged additions to the crowd which has already severely taxed the resources of the town. But the attend ance at the ring side will not bo as large as was anticipated. Between 1,000 anil r,,00O people will perhaps be'a care ful estimate of the number. Over whelming confidence on both sides is a bit of puzzle to all the sports. It Is undoubtedly Genuine In tho two men and tends to still further shake the Ideas of any one who is inclined to waver about picking the winner. The prevail ing opinion seems to lie that the light will be limited to fifteen rounds. No one W Inclined to think that the battle will be a long one. The Interpretation of the rules which allows hlttlns In clinches and breakaways appears to ac count In a great measure for the popu lar Idea of a short light. Dan Stuart, it Is evident, assumes what majoilty since, ho has put on the two smaller fights' to follow the big event. Both pugilists turned In early to get a good lung rest before the eventful hour. According to tonight's arrangements, Corbett will perhaps take a short walk in the morning and Iheu drive to tile arena. or course, the weather will have a great deal to 'do with the plans of liuth men. REV. MILLINGTON EXPELLED. His Ptirtner, Mrs, Dickinson, Also S'uiiu'ed from tho Church, Newark, N. J., .Mureh 1G. At a meet ing of the congregation of the Fulr moiint Baptist chinch tonight the Rev.
