fete mm n ESTABLISHED 1811, VOL. XIiVI. NO. 59. COLUMBUS. TUESDAY MORNINQ, MARCH 10, 1885. 1 TOO MUCH OF CLEVELAND yT NOT ENOUGH FOR DEMOCRACY, fa the Oplalon f the Unwashed of the Hew President The Placa Gone The , French Claim. Ha ar the Bales of tha Kenae wUl !m Ckutl. ' .-Special to tha Ohio State Washixgtos, March 9. Qaite a number or members-elr t of the Forty-ninth Congrats have bee a Lere daring the past week. Those w'io are Democrats came principally to fjdriae the new President in the matter, of appointments. They were all corkially received, bnt very few-were eotirtely satisfied with their visit. Somehow Cleveland impressed them with the vie that be intends to ran his administration to sort himself. He has notifted fa aspirants tor office that the heads of departments are the proper men to listen to appeals for places. He treated others o coolly that they actually got mad when he deftly turned tbem aside from their purpose. Altogether, the Democrats are not ea&rely satisfied with the man of destiny. There is too much Cleveland about hum rosd too little party to suit the taste of ttte old Jack soman element among the Republican members of Congress corns principally to look after pension cases and other routine matters pertaining lo the life f a congressman. One of the Hatter, who looks yery much like Tom Steed of Maine m his physical proportions, hails from Rochester, X. Y. Ex-State Senator Bakr is the man. He was here only, a f-?w hours, but when he left he .took with Uim a relic that every man who wears the vyrabol of the M. K. T. will envy him. In the Treasury department, under she supers ising architect, is an old gentler aan, now in his S2d year, who has been in the service of the government upward of? fifty-seven years. He has filled several important positions, among which was that of a draughtsman and designer. SampTea f his haodiwoik are common at the- Capitol and many artistic bits of taic-a-bric designed by his . brain ado'fn, the homes of - others throughout the country. The imrnense Fftd medal voted by Congress to Cyrus W. Field, on completion of the Atlantic cable, was prepared 'by this old gentle-, man. His name is 'Captain J. G. Bru, and his home is a perfect cariosity sbep. It is a small, old-fashioned, two-.tory brick house near the dividing Vine between Washington .-nd Georgetown, and . it is literally filled .fith curio,, its great-eat attraction, howerer, wis carried off by Congressman BaF,- yefierday. Mr. Baker is a relative of Captain Broff, and is a frequent visitor ? A nis home. A few years ago the captain exhibited a treasure which had , just been added to his col lection, ar4 which ha promised to be-queWo Mr. Baker. It was no less than a tfal Toledo sword-blade, which had beea. carried by a Knight Templar against itse Saracens seven or eight centuries ago. - It was a rough-looking specimen of cut-: Hery when first received, as full of ' nicks as the celebrated weapon of Falstafi . - :and as rooty as the religion of Tom Ochiltree. ' The hilt was battered and the " scabbard gone but the blade was there still. ' Captain Braff sent it to Ames, the , celebrated armorer, and it was returned to liim as white as silver and as flexible as . whalebone. The owner designed a handle and wore his sword at the laying of , the corner-stone of the Washington rraynntaent, which he attended ' as a Jfmght Templar. Up to that time there . oral no regulation handle for the Knight Templar sword ; all that was required was V that it must be black and straight. The .'" design of Captain Braff was adopted by - (the grand commandery and every mem- 'bar of tha .-organization unconsciously carried a copy of bladerhich was i first to bear the hatnife and winch is now owned by Congressman Bacon of Rochester, N. Y., having been given to him on iSnqday. t Tha Flags Go. The flags, streamers and banting which -decorabul and adorned nearly every pub-"lic building and business house in Wash ington a week ago have all disappeared, except that which hangs in front of the - whisky shops. The saloon men were the first to fly the colors of victory ; they are .the last to pull them down; All the stands roctod for the benefit of spectators have , Ibeeaw removed and all the visitors except anose wno want office nave gone. Motel rates and barbers' fees have been reduced ito the normal rates, and it is no longer jneceseary to pay $2 for the privilege of sleeping upon a canvass bag filled with corncobs. A gentleman who likes to figure ont carious statistics estimates that at least $2,000,000 has been expended in Washington daring the past week by trangers who came .to see the mew - President inaugurated. Of this amount $150,000 was paid out ifor the privilege of sittine noon one of the stands erected along the route of the procession. Of course a part of : this came from residents, but the greater portion wss from the pockets of the vis itors. Inauguration week was a perfect bonanza to everyone in Washington. Those who fared best were the hotel and boarding-house keepers, ru ni sellers and tobacconist. One man, who rents a house at $100 a month, cleared enoueh from the rent of rooms to pay his rent tor three months. A cigar dealer near Willard's bote!, who employs three clerks, sold upward of $500 worth of goods on the 4th of March alone. A "bigh-toad" saloon-keeper is reported to have taken in over his bar nearly $12,000 in six aays. a ever before was so nracb money expended in Washington in any one week. Everyone is hannv. and sorrv only that it will be four years before the . -. .,, . opportunity win retarn. The Franch Claims. Since the passage of the bill referring tbe French spoliations claims to the Court of Claims, Washington lawyers ' have been kept busy hunting up the heirs of claimants. It is nearlv a hundred years since the losses occurred, and more than throe-quarters of a century since the matter was adjusted so far as France was concerned. The claimants' heirs, how ever, have preserved carefnllv all papers in the case, and there will be little diffi culty in adjusting the claims by tbe court. It is believed that in spite of the . proverbial delay of the law, not more than two years will be required in which to settle them all. Congress will probably appropriate the first installment toward paying the judgments next session, The Kolas to be Changed. Representative Tom Reed of Maine and other Republicans of standing in Con- gress, as well as many Democrats who are sick of tbe one-man power which rules in the House, are determined that the first Question to be settled when Contrress meets again shall be tbe revision of the rules. The utter failure to accomplish anything-under the system of parlia mentary practice in vogue in the last - Contrreps is shown in the fact that while nearly 10,000 bills were introduced in the House, lees than 400 passed, and about nine-tenths of these were pension or relief bills. The whole Congress was wasted in attempts to do nothing. Randall, being desirous to control the action of the House, had bat to aod his head to secure a following sufficiently large to defeat any measure not in exact accord with his own ideas. As a result the work ac complished was altogether ont of proportion to that left untouched. The various committees worked faithfully day after day, only to see tbe results of tbeir labors dumped on the calendar, there to remain until noon March 4. Reed and others. who think tbey are elected to do something besides sign pay receipts, are determined that nothing shall be done until they are heard, and they will begin early and fight hard until the rules are revised. Mr. Reed is still here, preparing a set of amendments to the rulea.which will prob-; ably be submitted to a Republican caucus early in December. If Republican members will stand by the leaders they can break the power of Randall to control the House, and it will not be a difficult thing for those who desire a change to win the support of enough men on the other side of the House in support of a plan which can only result in giving tbe majority a chance to legislate without first consulting a Randall or a Hoi man or a Weller. A Mugwump and Democratic Battle. There are the best of prospects for a first-class row for President Cleveland over the Sew York postoffice. Postmaster Pearson's term expires on the 21st inst. The mugwumps of New York City demand that he be retained, while the ultra and genuine Democrats say be must, go. One of Secretary Manning's intimate Friends, who has just seen the. President on the subject, said this afternoon: "If Pearson is retained in office by the President there will be a big howl from the Democrats. If he is not retained, the Independents will kick np a row. Certainly the President is in a dilemma. If he does he will be censured. If he does net he will be cursed. If I occupied his position I would tell the mugwumps to take it out in kicking." It seems to be the impression that the mugwumps are to be rewarded and Pearson retained in office. There's gore on 'the surface of the moon. Tha OM Fran Cook Retained. Before President Arthur retired from the White-house he gave such a good recommendation , to his French , cook, Chef Portia, that PreaideCleveland has retained him in his service. Chef Fortin had a pretty busy time under President Arthur. He was liable to be called upon for a supper, always an extensive one, at any time of the night, while there was no regularity about the daily meals. Breakfast was served to whomso ever was ready for it at any time of the morning, vnei fortin anticipates a little more regularity, as President Cleveland expects everybody in his household to be ready tor breakfast at exactly 8 o'clock.

The court- martial to try ex-Surgeon General Walts met today and adjourned until April 14. Down and Ont. . Washington, March 9. First Assistant .Postmaster General Urosby bas resigned and his resignation bas been accepted THE NATION'S PATIENT. . Washington, March 9. After reading the journal the Chair laid before the Senate a communication from the secretary of slate, being a notice that he (Bayard) had forwarded to the Legisla ture of Delaware his resignation of his position as senator ; also, communications from the secretary of the interior and attorney general notifying the Senate of their acceptance of Cabinet positions and requesting the president of the Senate to so notify the Legislatures of their respective states. - The credentials oi Jvir. ciair, as senator, to fill a temporary vacancy, were laid be fore the Senate and read. Mr. Vest moved they be referred to the committee on privileges and elections. Lost. Mr. Hoar offered a formal resolution that the oath be administered to the senator from New Hampshire, and Mr. Harris asked unanimous consent that it lay over until tomorrow. Granted. The- resolution.. offered Friday by Mr. Van Wyck making inquiry of the secretary' of the interior in regard to the issuance of patents to the Backbone road, was laid before the Senate, and Mr. Van Wyck spoke at length. tie saia it was a matter ox sincere regret that the last act of the late administration should have been performed at the dictation and in the interest of corporate wealth. He detailed the history of the Backbone" road and its "mysterious record," which he said formed a most remarkable chapter in railroad annals. Gould and Huntington, he declared, were scheming in this matter as they were with Scott and the Texas racinc, using the same ' tactics and the same influences. They would not consent that Congress should forfeit this grant unless it should at the same time convey it to tii am. The proposition was so infamous that Congress, though manipulated as Huntington delineates, would not consent. It was claimed there was a spe cial meeting of the Cabinet, its last, to legalize this fraud. Did the actual settlers on this land have any advocate there, and were their rights protected 1 The law secured the settlers rights, but did the Cabinet protect them, or were they turned over to the tender mercies of thiscorporation? At the conclusion of Mr. Van Wyck s remarks, Mr. Teller, replying to Mr. Van Wyck, said: Mr. President, mv experience in this body has not been as lengthy as that of some that sit before me, but after some thing over eight years I have been in pub lic service, I confess to considerable astonishment on picking up a resolution so discourteous, so ansenatorial as this, a coordinate branch of the government. I suppose it has accomplished the purpose lor whicn it was introaucea. it has enabled tbe mover of this resolution to appear before the public, not for the first time, nor on the first occasion, but as he has on various occasions, as tbe special champion of the laboring classes of the down-trodden people of this country and as the special opponent of corporations. 1 presume the senator introducing this resolution expected nothing more. He hardly expected that any department of the government would allow itself to be thus assailed without answering the reso lution. Before - this discussion is closed and on some other occasion I shall call the attention of this Senate to the remarkable character of the various resolutions coming from this same source that have, been directed to the executive department of this government within the last three years, l want to tive notice here and to everybody that ai though the administration has passed into the hands of a political party with which I am not ttmliated, yet as a senator having ;due respect for the executive department of the government, I never intended, without at least a protest, -that that administration shall be treated by this senator or any other by resolution as the late administration has been treated. hy, Mr. President, if yoa were to believe all this honorable senator has said today you would suppose that in issuing this patent the certifica tion ot this land earned bv this company there has been done something that has never been done before. Every secretary that bas sat in the chair of the Department of the Interior for the last eight years has done exactly what has been done by the secretary who has just retired. Daring a good portion of that time the honorable senator has been a member of either the House or this body. He has been a member of tbe committee on public lands, and never. either on that cemmittee or in this body, has he been beard to say a word on this subject. It is in the press, it is where the senator can get ithe credit of being down-trodden and oppressed, and the opponent of cor porations that he is beard. W hen legis lation can he had and the interests of the government can be piotected, if it is desirable to protect tHem, he has been as silent as the grave. There are on the records of the land office millions of acres of land issued under exactly the same situation as that under which this land was issued. Mr. Teller summarized the action of the legislative and executive branches of the government with relation to this road and continued his reply at great length. At the conclusion of his speech the Senate adjourned. for the purpose of poisoning himself. Yesterday when he left his niece's honae she sent two boys to watch him, but he eluded them and when they were retaining home they found him hanging to a tree dead, but yet warm. Deceased was So years old and owned a farm of fifty acres in Monroe township. He was never married and has lived for some time with his niece, Mrs. Samuel Hogue. The cause which prompted him to tbe deed is unknown. John Miller, one of the pioneers of the county, was buried yesterday. He died at the age of 86. THEY ARE SO HUNGRY. PLEAS FOR OFFICE POURING IN.

Atchison, Kas., March 9. The situation of the Missouri Pacific strike is 'generally unchanged. Sunday night the strikerstook possession of several passen tier trains, and refused to let more than an engine and mail car go through. This program was continued until noon today, when Superintendent Faxan took the bold stand that the company was not required under federal law to carry the mails on other than regular passenger trains, with a fnll complement of coach as, and gave positive orders that the mail car should not go out .without the regular coaches attached. Major John M. Crowell, postoffice inspector, then appeared on tbe scene and warned the strikers that under such a construction of the law, the strikers would be liable for stopping mail matter. This occasioned ' a hasty consultation and it was finally agreed to let all passenger trains go through hereafter, and they are now running regularly.

Hifsb, whose husband rnns the Neil house barbef shop.

His wife came down to the rooms in a day or two and demand $ 100 of the money, saying that it was hers, but the proprietors relused to refund. She insisted, but they were firm, and last week Mrs. Hirsh's lawyer called upon them for the purpose of getting the money back. They said "they would not be blackmailed out of anything," as there was some doubt as to which side was the winner in the series of games played. After this final reiusai to aavauce the money, nothing was done until about 5 o'clock last evening, when the .r.t eu made. Getreu and It-men- bauoi say they looked up their books last niuht and f onnd that in all they have won between $12 and $14 net off of Hireh, but this has little or nothing to do with tbe law or the principle at stage.

TUESDAY MORNINQ, MARCH 10, 1885. 1 TOO MUCH OF CLEVELAND yT NOT ENOUGH FOR DEMOCRACY, fa the Oplalon f the Unwashed of the Hew President The Placa Gone The , French Claim. Ha ar the Bales of tha Kenae wUl !m Ckutl. ' .-Special to tha Ohio State Washixgtos, March 9. Qaite a number or members-elr t of the Forty-ninth Congrats have bee a Lere daring the past week. Those w'io are Democrats came principally to fjdriae the new President in the matter, of appointments. They were all corkially received, bnt very few-were eotirtely satisfied with their visit. Somehow Cleveland impressed them with the vie that be intends to ran his administration to sort himself. He has notifted fa aspirants tor office that the heads of departments are the proper men to listen to appeals for places. He treated others o coolly that they actually got mad when he deftly turned tbem aside from their purpose. Altogether, the Democrats are not ea&rely satisfied with the man of destiny. There is too much Cleveland about hum rosd too little party to suit the taste of ttte old Jack soman element among the Republican members of Congress corns principally to look after pension cases and other routine matters pertaining lo the life f a congressman. One of the Hatter, who looks yery much like Tom Steed of Maine m his physical proportions, hails from Rochester, X. Y. Ex-State Senator Bakr is the man. He was here only, a f-?w hours, but when he left he .took with Uim a relic that every man who wears the vyrabol of the M. K. T. will envy him. In the Treasury department, under she supers ising architect, is an old gentler aan, now in his S2d year, who has been in the service of the government upward of? fifty-seven years. He has filled several important positions, among which was that of a draughtsman and designer. SampTea f his haodiwoik are common at the- Capitol and many artistic bits of taic-a-bric designed by his . brain ado'fn, the homes of - others throughout the country. The imrnense Fftd medal voted by Congress to Cyrus W. Field, on completion of the Atlantic cable, was prepared 'by this old gentle-, man. His name is 'Captain J. G. Bru, and his home is a perfect cariosity sbep. It is a small, old-fashioned, two-.tory brick house near the dividing Vine between Washington .-nd Georgetown, and . it is literally filled .fith curio,, its great-eat attraction, howerer, wis carried off by Congressman BaF,- yefierday. Mr. Baker is a relative of Captain Broff, and is a frequent visitor ? A nis home. A few years ago the captain exhibited a treasure which had , just been added to his col lection, ar4 which ha promised to be-queWo Mr. Baker. It was no less than a tfal Toledo sword-blade, which had beea. carried by a Knight Templar against itse Saracens seven or eight centuries ago. - It was a rough-looking specimen of cut-: Hery when first received, as full of ' nicks as the celebrated weapon of Falstafi . - :and as rooty as the religion of Tom Ochiltree. ' The hilt was battered and the " scabbard gone but the blade was there still. ' Captain Braff sent it to Ames, the , celebrated armorer, and it was returned to liim as white as silver and as flexible as . whalebone. The owner designed a handle and wore his sword at the laying of , the corner-stone of the Washington rraynntaent, which he attended ' as a Jfmght Templar. Up to that time there . oral no regulation handle for the Knight Templar sword ; all that was required was V that it must be black and straight. The .'" design of Captain Braff was adopted by - (the grand commandery and every mem- 'bar of tha .-organization unconsciously carried a copy of bladerhich was i first to bear the hatnife and winch is now owned by Congressman Bacon of Rochester, N. Y., having been given to him on iSnqday. t Tha Flags Go. The flags, streamers and banting which -decorabul and adorned nearly every pub-"lic building and business house in Wash ington a week ago have all disappeared, except that which hangs in front of the - whisky shops. The saloon men were the first to fly the colors of victory ; they are .the last to pull them down; All the stands roctod for the benefit of spectators have , Ibeeaw removed and all the visitors except anose wno want office nave gone. Motel rates and barbers' fees have been reduced ito the normal rates, and it is no longer jneceseary to pay $2 for the privilege of sleeping upon a canvass bag filled with corncobs. A gentleman who likes to figure ont carious statistics estimates that at least $2,000,000 has been expended in Washington daring the past week by trangers who came .to see the mew - President inaugurated. Of this amount $150,000 was paid out ifor the privilege of sittine noon one of the stands erected along the route of the procession. Of course a part of : this came from residents, but the greater portion wss from the pockets of the vis itors. Inauguration week was a perfect bonanza to everyone in Washington. Those who fared best were the hotel and boarding-house keepers, ru ni sellers and tobacconist. One man, who rents a house at $100 a month, cleared enoueh from the rent of rooms to pay his rent tor three months. A cigar dealer near Willard's bote!, who employs three clerks, sold upward of $500 worth of goods on the 4th of March alone. A "bigh-toad" saloon-keeper is reported to have taken in over his bar nearly $12,000 in six aays. a ever before was so nracb money expended in Washington in any one week. Everyone is hannv. and sorrv only that it will be four years before the . -. .,, . opportunity win retarn. The Franch Claims. Since the passage of the bill referring tbe French spoliations claims to the Court of Claims, Washington lawyers ' have been kept busy hunting up the heirs of claimants. It is nearlv a hundred years since the losses occurred, and more than throe-quarters of a century since the matter was adjusted so far as France was concerned. The claimants' heirs, how ever, have preserved carefnllv all papers in the case, and there will be little diffi culty in adjusting the claims by tbe court. It is believed that in spite of the . proverbial delay of the law, not more than two years will be required in which to settle them all. Congress will probably appropriate the first installment toward paying the judgments next session, The Kolas to be Changed. Representative Tom Reed of Maine and other Republicans of standing in Con- gress, as well as many Democrats who are sick of tbe one-man power which rules in the House, are determined that the first Question to be settled when Contrress meets again shall be tbe revision of the rules. The utter failure to accomplish anything-under the system of parlia mentary practice in vogue in the last - Contrreps is shown in the fact that while nearly 10,000 bills were introduced in the House, lees than 400 passed, and about nine-tenths of these were pension or relief bills. The whole Congress was wasted in attempts to do nothing. Randall, being desirous to control the action of the House, had bat to aod his head to secure a following sufficiently large to defeat any measure not in exact accord with his own ideas. As a result the work ac complished was altogether ont of proportion to that left untouched. The various committees worked faithfully day after day, only to see tbe results of tbeir labors dumped on the calendar, there to remain until noon March 4. Reed and others. who think tbey are elected to do something besides sign pay receipts, are determined that nothing shall be done until they are heard, and they will begin early and fight hard until the rules are revised. Mr. Reed is still here, preparing a set of amendments to the rulea.which will prob-; ably be submitted to a Republican caucus early in December. If Republican members will stand by the leaders they can break the power of Randall to control the House, and it will not be a difficult thing for those who desire a change to win the support of enough men on the other side of the House in support of a plan which can only result in giving tbe majority a chance to legislate without first consulting a Randall or a Hoi man or a Weller. A Mugwump and Democratic Battle. There are the best of prospects for a first-class row for President Cleveland over the Sew York postoffice. Postmaster Pearson's term expires on the 21st inst. The mugwumps of New York City demand that he be retained, while the ultra and genuine Democrats say be must, go. One of Secretary Manning's intimate Friends, who has just seen the. President on the subject, said this afternoon: "If Pearson is retained in office by the President there will be a big howl from the Democrats. If he is not retained, the Independents will kick np a row. Certainly the President is in a dilemma. If he does he will be censured. If he does net he will be cursed. If I occupied his position I would tell the mugwumps to take it out in kicking." It seems to be the impression that the mugwumps are to be rewarded and Pearson retained in office. There's gore on 'the surface of the moon. Tha OM Fran Cook Retained. Before President Arthur retired from the White-house he gave such a good recommendation , to his French , cook, Chef Portia, that PreaideCleveland has retained him in his service. Chef Fortin had a pretty busy time under President Arthur. He was liable to be called upon for a supper, always an extensive one, at any time of the night, while there was no regularity about the daily meals. Breakfast was served to whomso ever was ready for it at any time of the morning, vnei fortin anticipates a little more regularity, as President Cleveland expects everybody in his household to be ready tor breakfast at exactly 8 o'clock.

First Assistant .Postmaster General Urosby bas resigned and his resignation bas been accepted THE NATION'S PATIENT. . Washington, March 9. After reading the journal the Chair laid before the Senate a communication from the secretary of slate, being a notice that he (Bayard) had forwarded to the Legisla ture of Delaware his resignation of his position as senator ; also, communications from the secretary of the interior and attorney general notifying the Senate of their acceptance of Cabinet positions and requesting the president of the Senate to so notify the Legislatures of their respective states. - The credentials oi Jvir. ciair, as senator, to fill a temporary vacancy, were laid be fore the Senate and read. Mr. Vest moved they be referred to the committee on privileges and elections. Lost. Mr. Hoar offered a formal resolution that the oath be administered to the senator from New Hampshire, and Mr. Harris asked unanimous consent that it lay over until tomorrow. Granted. The- resolution.. offered Friday by Mr. Van Wyck making inquiry of the secretary' of the interior in regard to the issuance of patents to the Backbone road, was laid before the Senate, and Mr. Van Wyck spoke at length. tie saia it was a matter ox sincere regret that the last act of the late administration should have been performed at the dictation and in the interest of corporate wealth. He detailed the history of the Backbone" road and its "mysterious record," which he said formed a most remarkable chapter in railroad annals. Gould and Huntington, he declared, were scheming in this matter as they were with Scott and the Texas racinc, using the same ' tactics and the same influences. They would not consent that Congress should forfeit this grant unless it should at the same time convey it to tii am. The proposition was so infamous that Congress, though manipulated as Huntington delineates, would not consent. It was claimed there was a spe cial meeting of the Cabinet, its last, to legalize this fraud. Did the actual settlers on this land have any advocate there, and were their rights protected 1 The law secured the settlers rights, but did the Cabinet protect them, or were they turned over to the tender mercies of thiscorporation? At the conclusion of Mr. Van Wyck s remarks, Mr. Teller, replying to Mr. Van Wyck, said: Mr. President, mv experience in this body has not been as lengthy as that of some that sit before me, but after some thing over eight years I have been in pub lic service, I confess to considerable astonishment on picking up a resolution so discourteous, so ansenatorial as this, a coordinate branch of the government. I suppose it has accomplished the purpose lor whicn it was introaucea. it has enabled tbe mover of this resolution to appear before the public, not for the first time, nor on the first occasion, but as he has on various occasions, as tbe special champion of the laboring classes of the down-trodden people of this country and as the special opponent of corporations. 1 presume the senator introducing this resolution expected nothing more. He hardly expected that any department of the government would allow itself to be thus assailed without answering the reso lution. Before - this discussion is closed and on some other occasion I shall call the attention of this Senate to the remarkable character of the various resolutions coming from this same source that have, been directed to the executive department of this government within the last three years, l want to tive notice here and to everybody that ai though the administration has passed into the hands of a political party with which I am not ttmliated, yet as a senator having ;due respect for the executive department of the government, I never intended, without at least a protest, -that that administration shall be treated by this senator or any other by resolution as the late administration has been treated. hy, Mr. President, if yoa were to believe all this honorable senator has said today you would suppose that in issuing this patent the certifica tion ot this land earned bv this company there has been done something that has never been done before. Every secretary that bas sat in the chair of the Department of the Interior for the last eight years has done exactly what has been done by the secretary who has just retired. Daring a good portion of that time the honorable senator has been a member of either the House or this body. He has been a member of tbe committee on public lands, and never. either on that cemmittee or in this body, has he been beard to say a word on this subject. It is in the press, it is where the senator can get ithe credit of being down-trodden and oppressed, and the opponent of cor porations that he is beard. W hen legis lation can he had and the interests of the government can be piotected, if it is desirable to protect tHem, he has been as silent as the grave. There are on the records of the land office millions of acres of land issued under exactly the same situation as that under which this land was issued. Mr. Teller summarized the action of the legislative and executive branches of the government with relation to this road and continued his reply at great length. At the conclusion of his speech the Senate adjourned. for the purpose of poisoning himself. Yesterday when he left his niece's honae she sent two boys to watch him, but he eluded them and when they were retaining home they found him hanging to a tree dead, but yet warm. Deceased was So years old and owned a farm of fifty acres in Monroe township. He was never married and has lived for some time with his niece, Mrs. Samuel Hogue. The cause which prompted him to tbe deed is unknown. John Miller, one of the pioneers of the county, was buried yesterday. He died at the age of 86. THEY ARE SO HUNGRY. PLEAS FOR OFFICE POURING IN.

Considerable excitement was created in sporting circles last evening by the arrest of Frank Getreu and Isaac Bosenbaum, who run a faro bank on High street, on the charge of keeping ft gambling-house, The arrest was made by Constable Johns on an affidavit filed in Justice McFadden's office by Mrs. Ed. Hifsb, whose husband rnns the Neil house barbef shop. Getreu and Roeenbaum were taken before Justice McFadden and were released on their own recognisance, to sppear Thursday for a preliminary examination. It is stated that Ed. Hirsh. the husband of the lady at Whose instance the arrest was made, has piayea at uetrea ana rosea baum's bank, and bus sometimes won and at other limes has lost. Th propri etefs of number of the banks will not a!lt.r him to play at their places, as tbey sav he has tbe reputation of being what thev call a "sciuealer" and hs, It is said., within the last eitfht or ten veatS raised commotions a number of times after bating lost on gaoie. The two faro men who Wefc ar-resttd last night state that Hireh came to .hcm Rome little time Bince and wanted to play against their game. After some talk he was anowea to ao bo, nuu w fairly regular visitor at their table. One night he won about $60 ofT the bank, and the next night he returned, but lost between ?120 and ?130. His wife came down to the rooms in a day or two and demand $ 100 of the money, saying that it was hers, but the proprietors relused to refund. She insisted, but they were firm, and last week Mrs. Hirsh's lawyer called upon them for the purpose of getting the money back. They said "they would not be blackmailed out of anything," as there was some doubt as to which side was the winner in the series of games played. After this final reiusai to aavauce the money, nothing was done until about 5 o'clock last evening, when the .r.t eu made. Getreu and It-men- bauoi say they looked up their books last niuht and f onnd that in all they have won between $12 and $14 net off of Hireh, but this has little or nothing to do with tbe law or the principle at stage.
