He anticipated a great deal of trouble in settling the details of atarifrbill. The manufacturers of wools in his State had practically agreed with the wool growers on the question of wool and woolen duties, but Connecticut and Pennsylvania might clash a little over the quest ion of iron.

The Painting of David and Abigail Will be Admitted Free of Duty. Washington, Octoler 23. Assistant Secretary Tichenor has instructed the collector of customs at Detroit, to admit free of duty as an antiquity a painting invoiced as "David and Abigail," ascribed to Rubens, and purchased by E. Scripps for 21.61(5 in Paris at the sale of the collection of M. Secretan.

The appraiser at Detroit doubted the antiquity of the painting and gave it as his opinion that it was either the original or a copy of a painting entitled "David before Abigail," executed by Sabattelli in isoti. He reported that the canvas upon which the picture was painted had been with a new back and stretcher of textile fabrics and wood of modern manufacture, and therefore, the painting was deprived the right of entry as an antiquity. In regard to this contention, Assistant Secretary Tichener says that it is a well-known fact that the great majority of paintings, if not all, executed on canvas by the old masters have lieen lined and placed on new stretchers for their preservation, and that the department does not regard such repairs as precluding such paintings from admission free of duty as "antiquities."

Other candidates for this honor are Cleveland, St. Louis and Denver, with everything in favor of the former.

INDICTED FOR FORGERY. EX-TREASURER BURKE'S TROUBLE. By Hia Alleged Actions One Van is out of Pocket 70.000 NewOrlf.ans, October 23. The grand jtiry to-day resumed the State liond investigation and returned three more indictments, two of them lieing against ex-Treasurer II A. Burke, for forgery, in uttering as rue, forg-d liondsofthe State.

The forgery is understood to consist in leaving numbered the constitutional bonds that were negotiated by Mr. Maurice Hart for Burke. They were pledged to various bnnks of the city, and when their fraudulent character was discovered, they were returned to Mr. Hart ami he refunded the money he had burrowed upon them. Con-frequently Mr.

Hart is of pocket. In obedience to a mandatory order of court, calling for dispatches sent from this city to Major Burke in London, since the lmiid investigation has been going on, J. T. Alieyn. manager of the Western Union Telegraph Company in this city, was before the giand jury, and, it is understood, sul.niitt.d the dispatches specitically called for.

It is believed, however, that they did not contain anything of importance to the State. BAR IKON Ml FACTritEBS MEET. They Keporf That Business Is Good With a Strong Dt inand for Their Products.

SPECIAL TO THE PITTSBURGH POST. Harrtsbuhg, October 23. It leaked out here this evening that there was quite a scene in the corridor of the Loehiel Hotel Saturday night, just after Henry K.

Boyer, the Republican candidate for State treasurer, had had his reception. Senator Dela-mater, who found it convenient, to be here that evening, was closeted a long while with Chairman Andrews, of the Republican State committee. When Delamater and Andrews came down stairs they were accosted by a Republican friend of General Hastings, who, it is reported, said, addressing his remarks to Delamater: "Senator, it is a shame that you have been using both Boyer and the chairman of the State committee in the interest of your candidacy for governor during the past few weeks, to the detriment of the pending contest." Delamater, it is said, became red in the face and said nothing in reply. WILL SWEETEN SOME. SPRECKELS MAKING A MOVE.

The Great Glucose King to Make 6.000,000 Pounds of Sugar Daily. Philadelphia, October 23. Clans Spreekels intended to begin work at his big refinery in this city to-day, but owing to the bad weather and other causes he was prevented from doing so. Active operations will probably begin next week. Mr.

Spreekels is confident that he will win in his grpat tight against the sugar trust. "I will produce 1,000,000 pounds of sugar a day at the start," said Mr. Spreckles. "By February, 2,000,000 pounds a day will lie turned out. I have decided to double the plant; and when the new buildings are finished, as they will he before the end of next year.

I will produce 4,000,000 pounds a day. New Orleans will be the next objective point. A refinery will le built there with a capacity of l.OOOHK) pounds a day, and when 1 have doubled my plant here I will produce 6,000,000 pounds of sugar a day. The trust produces 0.000,000 pounds a day, so that when I get fully started I shall turn out three-fourths of the entire amount, and I shall sell it too. The sugar market is now in a demoralized condition.

There was a drop in the price of refined sugar of oue-eighth of a cent a pound. Every decrease of one-eighth means a decrease in the income of the, trust of $10,000 a day. I look for a drop of lc a pound in the price of sugar in the next 150 days. This means a decrease of $80,000 more a day in the income of the trust." Mr. Spreckles said that the big drop in trust certificates can lie accounted for from the fact that the trust is loaded up with a lot of high-priced sugar, and as the market is in bad condition the insiders have "leen sliding out of their certificates." HIGn DEGREE MASONS IN SESSION.

They Discuss a Little Trouble Over in Ohio, Elert New Members and Adjourn. New Yokk, Octolier 23. The annual session of the supreme council of sovereign grand inspectors of the thirty-third and last degree of the Ancient and Accepted Rite of Free Masons of the United States closed to-day. During the proceedings Sovereign Grand Commander J. J.

Gorman alluded to the death of its Illustrious C. C. Mason, M. thirty-third degree, late grand commander of the grand cominaudery of California. Justice Gorman also recalled the events of the year in the organizing of the dissensions in the Scottish Rite bodies, attacking the supreme council of the Northern jurisdiction as irregular.

The principal discussion of the session yesterday was the situation in Ohio, where the grand lodge arrested the warrants of several master Mason lodges under its jurisdiction, on account of the affiliation of meinliers with the organization under Justice Gorman's leadership. It wa decided to advise the Ohio people to adopt a policy of tolerance. An executive session of two hours was held and a large number of distinguished Masons received into the thirty-third degree. Officers were then chosen. BIG INJIN, STEAL WHITE SUUAW.

A Noble Red Man and a Depraved White Appropriate Two Western Ladies. Hiawatha, October 23. Dr. Wilkins, for the past three months, has been traveling through northern Kansas with an Indian Medicine Company. Several Indians travel with him as an advertisement.

Yesterday Black Horse, of the Indians, and one of the white men, belonging to the coinpany.stole two respectable ladies from their homes at Ilorton, bound and gagged them, and carried them to a seerf- tl iviunl n.sir Orton.

THE SAME OLD WORM-EATEN CHEST-NTT. A Cashier Leaves the Bank to Speak to an Alleged Customer Only Ui Regret it. Newahk, N. October 23. Two well-dressed men and a woman drove up to the Surrey German Savings Bank at 2:30 o'clock this afternoon.

The men entered the bank and informed the cashier that the lady in the carriage was unable to walk, anl desired to speak to him and make a deposit. One of the men and the cashier went out and had a' conversation with the lady. She deferred making the deposit, and the cashier returned. The other man left the bank, entered the carriage and drove off. A few moments later it was discovered that $1130 in bills had been stolen from behind the railing.

Only two clerks were in at the time. It is supposed that the thief entered through the gate, which the cashier left open. There is no clue to the whereabouts of the thieves. Foraker is Gradually Improving. Columbus, (., October 23.

IT IS MrnilNdUlT A WXFF. I'arneH's Friends Claim That no New Information Has Been Obtained as to the Missing League Books The Commission Resumes To-Way. Loniox, Octoler 23. Judge Hannen, the presiding judge of the Parnell commission, which will resume business at the old stand to-morrow, him expressed strong determination to unearth the missing liooks of the League, and the first business of the commission will be an attempt to extort something in regard to their whereabouts from Henry Camplwll, Parnell's private secretary. All similar attempts made at the last session of the commission proved futile.

And it is claimed now that the failure to elicit any evidence on the subject was due entirely to the lack of information on the subject on the part of the questioners. During the long recess neither Judge Hauuen nor the attorney general have been idle, and under their instructions the secretary of the commission has gathered complete information as to the manner in which the missing lxioks and documents were disposed of. Counsel for Mr. Parnell deny that any information whatever has been gather-d in Paris or anywhere else bearing on the subject, and assert that the claim is merely a bluff on the part of the enemies of Ireland, who seek to scare Campliell into disclosing what they imagine to be within lus knowledge. THE BOWMAN KIIJJXG.

PRELIMINARY HEARING BEGUN. The Coroner's Jury Fonnd Chambers to be F.e-sponsihle for the Tragedy. St. Louis, Octolier 23. The preliminary examination of B.

M. Chambers, who shot and killed Frank H. Bowman on Monday last, was begun to-day at Clayton, the county seat of St. Louis county. Several witnesses for the State were examined, but their testimony was substantially the sayie as given by them at the corner's inquest yesterday.

The court adjourned this evening until Friday, to enable the defense to procure witnesses, who were not present to-day. An evening paper published what purported to be the substance of the testimony which it was expected Mr. Chambers would give, but that gentleman was not on the stand, and he denied this evening that he had made any such statement to anyone. The funeral of Mr. Bowman took place this afternoon.

There were no services except at the grave, and very few friends were in attendance. There seems to have been an error made in the rejiort of the verdict in the Cham bers-Bowman inquest yesterday. The verdict was: "Frank Bowman came to his death from the effect of a gunshot wound indicted by Bartholomew B. Chaiulers, and we, the iurv, find that B. M.

Cham bers is unlawfully and feloniously responsible for the death of Frank J. Bowman." Ex-Lieutenant Governor Charles P. Johnson, the leading criminal lawyer of the city, will have charge of the defense for Mr. Cliamliers. New York.

October 23. Many New Yorkers knew Colouel F. J. Bowman, who was killed a couple of days ago by B. M.

Chambers, of St. Louis. He had an ollice here for three vears. opening it alxmt the time Jie married Miss Estelle Piatt, of Brooklyn. His chief characteristic was his boasting.

He used to tell what a great law practice he would build up here, but his success was small. His wife was a beautiful brunette and they lived at the Pierrcpont Hotel in Brooklyn. It is said that their relations were not always pleasant, owing to Bowman's intense jealousy. Mrs. Bowman only recently returned from Euroie and is with her father.

refused to talk about the tragedy. OF INTEREST TO LANDLORDS. A Chicago Conrt Holds That They are not Tourers in Certain Cases. Chicago, October 23. A question of interest to landlords was decided by the appellate court to-day.

Neil McCaid leased certain premises to A. Hertzberg, having first put the plumbing in repair. Hertzberg claimed that the work was defective and refused to pay rent, whereupon McCaul sued him. "The landlord in such a case is not an usurer," says the court, "unless the lease, by its terms, makes him such. There is no implied contract on the part of the landlord tliat the desired premises are tenantable, or that they will continue so during the term.

Nor is the land lord bound to repair unless he has express ly agreeu to to so. THE MYSTEtUurS BOBBER. Some of the I'revions History of the Man Who Took Dr. Johnson's Money. Chicago, October 23.

A requisition will arrive shortly from New Haven, for the mysterious young man who robbed Dr. H. A. Johnson recently at the cashier's window in the First National Bank. He gave his name to the police as Harry Milburn, but his real name is Far- quhar.

Farouhar will be tried for his crime here, and if he escapes conviction he will be sent to New Haven. A VICTORY FOR THE IN AX.

THE SEXAT0R.SH1P MATTER TOO FAR OFF. 6PKCIAT, TO THE PITTSBURGH TOST. New Yokk, October 23. There was 'a large number of TVnnsylvanians on the Inman line dock when the City (if Paris came into the slip to-night at i o'clock.

The majority of them were from the western part of the State, and they were on hand to welcome Chris B. iMagee and wife and State Senator J. S. Butan, who had been spending the summer in Europe. To meet Mr.

and Mrs. Magee there were his two brothers, W. A. and Fred. M.JMagee, and their wives.

E. 51. Bigelow, Chief of the Department of Public Works of Pittsburgh; Joshua Bhodes, lie pipe manufacturer of that city; Hen. A. O.

Bobertson, of Allegheny county; James A. MeDevitt, of Lancaster, who was a candidate against Senator Quay for State treasurer; Anthony F.

Benard Biglin. of New York city, was also at the dock to meet the travelers. Messrs. W. A.

Magee and George 11. Welsons, with Collector Joel B. Khrhart, of New York, went down the bay and met the party at quarantine. It was nearly 0:30 when the gang plank was thrown out at the pier and Mr. Magee and his wife, accompanied by ex-county chairman of Allegheny, George S.

Yon Bonnhorst. and Miss Margaret C. Magee, and Senator Uutan came ashore and were driven at once to the Fifth Avenue Hotel, where rooms had been engaged for them. ALL OI.AI TO HACK. All the memliers of ihe partv looked exceedingly well, and all expressed pleasure at finding themselves once more on American soil.

Senator Butan especially looked in the liest of health. There is a ruddy colur in his face and he has gained in llesh since his sojourn at Carlsliad. The party were the recipients of an impromptu reception at their rooms in the Fifth Avenue during the evening, many old friends, former residents of Pittsburgh, calling. Mr. Magee sailed for Kurnjie on July 10 with his wife and sister and Mr.

von lionn-horst: they spent 10 days in a coaching tour along the North I won in England, after which they successively visited Belgium. Holland, and France. ''Then- is no place like home," said Mr. Magee this evening ton numlier of friends. ''The first land off I he Long -land ooant sfemed to have a welcome fr us, and even the red lazerette building al ipiaran-tine was a prettier sight to me than any painting by any of the old masters, for we knew that beyond was home and friends." MR.

MAGEE TALKS A LITTLE POLITICS. A great deal of interest has lieen felt, not only in Western Pennsylvania but throughout the Slate, as to the complexion Republican jmlirical ailuir.s in Alh gheny county and elsewhere would assume ujioa Mr. Magee's return from Kiirnpe. jn the face of the rewirted combination which some of his friends and lieutenants are said to have mad" with Senator Quay and his representatives. Mr.

Magee expressed reluctance to talk, not only upon this but upon the subject ot pontics generally, except to discuss the Freneh elections and the manner in which they are conducted in Paris, as witnessed by him. ''I shall lie not less actively interested in politics than I have been heretofore," he said in reply to a direct question ujion the "What alMUit the State treasurer's fight?" was asked. "Well, really," replied the gentleman, "I don't see that there is anvthing left to do but vote. I fancy that the tight has lieen made by this time." "What do you think of the guliernatorial contest thus far?" "Of course I am tor Montooth. As for General Hastings he is a broad gauge man in every respect and if nominated would be elected and would make au excellent governor." PREFERS THE EIFFEL TOWEK.

When usked about Senator Delamater's candidacy Mr. Magee had nothing to say ami manifested a disposition to discuss the Eiffel tower. As to the I'nited States senatorship it was not to be discussed at length, it lieing a question yet quite a distance in the future. Mr. Magee will leave for Pittsburgh Friday night.

Senator Butan will leave for Allegheny to-morrow night, stopping over in Philadelphia several days. There are three candidates in the field against him in his senatorial district, Ihe Forty-fourth, but. this does not seem to he worrying Mr. Rutan in the least. He has kept himself posted upon the progress of political affairs in Western Pennsylvania, ami says that he is going home with renewed health and restored vigor to make an interesting canvass for the renominatioii and re-election.

The last month of his stay in Europe was spent in Paris. The exposition was the fifth world's fair he had attended, and the present one, he. thinks, eclipses all previous exhibitions of an international character. MAY HAVE BEEN ACCIDENTAL The Shooting of Saloonkeeper Campbell by the New York Policeman. New Yomc, Octolier 23.

The death of Saloonkeeper Campbell, shot night before last, by Policeman Morris, occurred to-day. Morris underwent an examination in the Tombs police court this afternoon, and Deputy Coroner Jenkins, who made the autopsy on the body of Campbell, said that in his opinion the shooting was accidental, because if deliberate aim had been taken, the bullet would have made a direct course, whereas it glanced downward. The prisoner, however, was committed without bail. Appointed a Handsome Man. Washington, October 23.

The True Grounds for Divorce Are Set Forth in the Bible. RATERS NEEDED FOR THE PRESIDENT. New York, Octolier 23. At the meeting of the house of deputies of the Episcopal convention this morning the colored question was reopened by the committee on conference appointed by the house of bishops, which recom mended that the deputies accede to the desire of the upper house and pass the resolution defining the attitude of the Episcopate toward the negro race. The deputies declined to reconsider their action.

Another burning question was disposed of by the house, to wit: The resolution of S. Coming Judd, of Chicago, to substitute for the words the Episcopal Church the words: "The American Church," amounting to a change in the title of the church, was on motion of Mr. Judd referred to the next convention. Resolutions reorted back by the joint liturgical committee were next in order. The most important was that the rubric following the prayer for the president of the United States be transposed so as to follow the collect for grace in the morning prayer.

This implies the omission of the prayer, ami a number of speeches protesting against such omission were made. Dr. Newton, of Virginia, called attention to the fact that there was no man in the land who was so hindered with responsibility or needed the prayer of the people more. The resolution was lost by a vote of ayes 7, nays 78. At the afternoon session the house of deputies sat with closed doors to con sider one of the most momentous mat ters of the canon, that of marriage and divorce.

I). T. II. Franklin, of New Jersey, read the following canon, com prising the grand work of the existing canon with the proposed amendments: the canon as amended. 1.

If any person be joined together otherwise than as God's word doth allow, their marriage is not lawful. 2. Marriage is prohibited by the word of God and by his church within the degrees of consanguinity specified in Leviticus xviii 6. is. 3.

It shall le the duty of ministers to admouish the people from time to time that the church forbids clandestine mar riage and that its public solemnization ought not to be dispensed with except for good cause and under special circumstances. No minister shall solemnize the marriage of any jierson under the age of eighteen years, except the parent having legal charge of such Icrson or the guardian lie present or have given written consent to the marriage. No minister shall solemnize a marriage except in the presence of at least two witnesses, himself or the witness Wing iersonally acquainted with both parties. Every minister should keep an ollicial register of marriage, of which he shall record the name, birthplace, -age, residence and condition of each party; and the said record, duly transcribed in the same register, shall be signed by both parties to the mar riage, by at least two witnesses and by the minister who performs the ceremony. 4.

The law of the church concerning divorce is contained in St. Mathew 32 and xxi, 9. Marriage, when duly solemnized, may not be dissolved except for adultery and fornication. The guilty party in a divorce for adultery is prohibited from marrying again luring the lifetime of the other party. Persons divorced may not be married again to each other if the woman meanwhile shall have married again.

5. If any minister of this church shall perform a ceremouey of marriage in violation of this canon he shall be subject to trial and liable to admonition for the first offence and to suspension or deposition for repetition of the same. G. Persons who shall marry in violation of the provisions of this canon shall not Ihj permitted to receive the holy communion except upon penitence and avowed final separation; provided, however, that no minister shall, in any case, refuse the sacraments to a penitent person in imminent danger of death 7. Questions touching thtactsin any case arising under the provisions of this canon may be decided in the ordinary way, after such inquiry as shall be deemed necessary.

K. This canon, so far as it fixes penalties, has no retrospective affect. 1. All previous canons on the subject are hereby annulled. THE CAN'OXICAL LAW PECCLIAR, In presenting the foregoing Dr.

Franklin stated that the principle of canonical law was peculiar as compared with civic and eriminal law. Mr. Pittsburgh, answered the arguments of r. Packard, of Maryland, that it was out of order to vote upon the first section, on the ground that it was already in the constitution by offering an amendment adding the words. "And such marriage is hereby and nnulling section two.

This brought the house into a long debate on the propriety of a man marrying his deceased wife's sister. Dr. Burgwin's amendment was carried by a vote of 134 to 90. Another debate occurred on sub-section one of section three stating that the church forbade clandestine marriages. On the motion of Dr.

Brown, of Massachusetts, it was stricken out and a recess until 8 o'clock was taken. The night session of the house of deputies was unproductive of results. The question of marriage and divorce again came up for consideration, and after a debate of an hour was referred to the convention of 192 for action. The house of bishops at their afternoon session completed the work of liturgical revision and adopted the canon relating to the creation of an order of deaconesses. The bishops have elected, with the concurrence of the house of deputies, the Rev.

Edward Abbott, rec A DOUBTFUL 10IXT NOW CLEARED IT. Witnesses Who Saw Dr. Cronin Enter the Carlson Cottage. ICEMAN O'SCLLIVAX KEPI WATCH OUTSIDE. Chicago, October 23.

Either in State's Attorney Longenecker's opening speech in the Cronin case to-morrow or in the evidence to be introduced later on, there will be several surprises. A weak point in the case has always been the inability of the State to show that Dr. Cronin actually entered the Carlson cottage on the night of the murder. morning paper says: "The evidence of Dr. Cronin's entrance to the Carlson cottage on the night of the murder -mil be conclusive.

On the night of May 4 two men had occasion to go to Lake View. One cf these is an Irish-American and a member of the Clan-na-Geal organization. They were detained until a late hour and stopped at the house of a friend to supper. They did not get through until after 9 o'clock and on their ay home they had to walk by the Carlson cottage. As they passed the scene of the murder they saw a buggy drive up.

In it were seated two men, and as they passed by one of the pedestrians said to the other as the ouggjr drove past: 'See that wan on the far side of that buggy? That is Dr. Cronin, the Irish nationalist." As he spoke the buggy pulled up and stopped before the Carlson cottage. Cronin sprang out and rushed up to the steps as if he had been summoned on a case of great emergency. "The men who drove the buggy stepped out and walked a couple of steps. The door was opened and Dr.

Cronin stepped inside. The driver jumped into the buggy and drove away niiit as the horses could take Urn This wilr be sworn to by the two citizens who and will doubtless proveone of the biggest surprises of the case. But if testimony in regard to the entrance of Dr. Cronin to the cottage will be sensational, no less so will be that regarding the actual perpetrators of the crime. Evidence will be produced by Longcnecker to show that four men took part in the murder of Dr.

Cronin in the cottage. These four men are Coughlin, Cooney, Burke and a man who has not yet leen either arrested or indicted in the case. The part that Sullivan played in the terrible drama of the night of Hay 4 will also be revealed. There are no less than three witnesses who will swear that O'Sullivan stood on the outside of the cottage while the bloody work was being done inside. The iceman was on sentry while Burke, Coughlin, Cooney and another man were committing the butchery inside.

Several witnesses will swear that Coughlin, Burke and Cooney were in the cottage at 9 o'clock that night, and three more will testify-that at the same time Iceman O'Sullivan was walking up and down on the sidewalk outside. The manner in which Dan Coughlin was traeed from the neighborhood of Clark street and Chicago avenue to the Carlson cottage on the night of the murder will also be revealed. That Kunz, one of the five now on trial, was the man who drove Coughlin to the scene of the tragedy, and that he got there about 8 o'clock, there is ample evidence.

Rev. John Chester Will Receive His Reward for Booming Harrison for President SPECIAL TO THE PITTSBURGH POST. Washington, October 23. It seems that Senator Matthew Stanley- the heat of the presidential campaign last summer, sold the chaplainship of the next house of representatives to Rev. John Chester, pastor of the Second Presbyterian Church of this city.

The Rev. John Chester, as the price of the chaplainship, wrote some highly interesting articles for religious papers and magazines on the religious and moral aspects of the campaign, in which he advised the brethren to vote for Benjamin Harrison and help suppress immorality. It looks like a case of using the livery of the Lord to serve the devil in. Last night the Republican League, at Mr. Quay's request, held a meeting and indorsed Rev.

Dr. Chester for the place now held by the famous blind chaplain, Rev. Dr. Milbourne. Quay will deliver the goods and Chester will get the place.

T. Blaisdell's name to notes aggregating was fairly begun to-day. J. T. Blaisdell was the first witness and was on the stand all day.

During the cross-examination Blaisdell said that he had not indorsed paper to exceed for Collom at any one time. Blaisdell denied that he had ever signed the note shown to him. Later in the day Blaisdell, on being questioned in regard to the same note, said that he had bought up several notes at the Security Bank, and the note in question was among the number. He said he had given another note for the full amount for the one in question, and had taken up six other notes, which he had claimed were forgeries. These statements were brought out only by persistent questioning.

The prevailing opinion to-night is that Blaisdell's evidence has materially weakened the case for the State. The Strike Seems to be Over. Evansville, October 23.

His Heavj tjuns Were All Shotted for Noble, Bussey and the Rest WHEN BOSS PLATT CALLED HIM OFF Some Figures Showing; the Strength of Would-Be Speakers of the House.

HEED LEADS, WITH CAXXOX XEXT. The Illness of Judge Cooley Thought to be Serious. QUAY SOLD THE CHAPLAINCY SPECIAL TO THIS PITTSBURGH POST. Washixgtox, October 23. When Secretary Noble said on Monday that ''Tanner was a back number," and that in the future he would ignore him, he did not do so of his own accord.

The orders from the "White House to the secretary of the interior were for a complete cessation of hostilities, and they were peremptory. The Post correspondent learns that on Saturday, after Raum's appointment, Noble was summoned to the White House and informed that the fight on Tanner had proceeded far enough, and as a new commissioner had just been appointed, it was a good time to quit. Noble agreed thereupon to give out on Monday the final report of the investigating committee, with his comments, and that was to be the end. Marshall Ramsdall was cognizant of the program, and, as he is a great friend of Corporal Tanner, he dropped him a hint of the future course of things. Then it was that Tanner hurriedly got together identically the same report, embellished with his own and not Noble's comments, and exploded it on Sunday night.

Noble and the president have a suspicion that Ramsdall leaked and he is consequently just at present in disgrace. On the same Sunday night Tanner said to a friend, who was with him at his Georgetown home: "I am ready to fire now by hie or volley; look at that. And he delved down into a basket filled with pretentious looking documents. "Every one of those is loaded for bear." He then said he had cut loose, and from that time out he would devote his time to showing up the men whej, had perse cuted him. A TRAP LAID FOK BUSSEY.

He had laid a trap for Bussey in his charges about the Griswold appointment, and when Bussey denied it, as he fully expected he would do, he had his gun already shotted with a document Mgned by Bussey himself, substantiating the charge. But the anticipated continuation of the firing did not materialize. The next day Bussey, Noble and Tanner closed up like clams. The presi dent was responsible for the silence of the secretary ot the interior and his assistant, and Tom Piatt, through his deputized representative in the cabinet. Secretary Tracy, for the muzzling of Tanner.

Tanner, however, would never have agreed to give up possession of his wonderful jaw except under the promise of some future reward, and this, his friends say, he is sure to receive. President Harrison considers another appointment for Tanner a small price for quelling what was rapidly growing into a Grand Army riot. THE SPEAKERSHIP CONTEST. Congressman '-Joe" Cannon, of Illinois, to-day gave out the first figures on the speakership contest. His figures say that on the first ballot Reed will have more votes than will any one else, and that Cannon will stand next.

They expect to see Reed fall back after one or two ballots, and to see Cannon forge ahead. They figure it out thus on the start Reed will go into the caucus with.72 votes. Cannon with 45, McKin-ley with 23, Burrows with 20, and Henderson with the solid Iowa delegation. JUDGE COOLEY'S DANGEROUS ILLNESS. The private advices received here about the condition of Inter-State Commerce Commissioner Cooley, indicate that he will never be able to 'resume his work at the head of the commission.

He had a preliminary attack, which indicated paralysis, and both he and his physicians fear the worst. Judge Cooley is sixty-one years of age and has been a hard worker as lawyer, president of Michigan University, judge of the supreme court of Michigan, and later as chairman of the inter-State commerce commission, for over 50 years. President Harrison had at one time considered him for the vacancy on the supreme bench, but his advanced age made the appointment inexpedient. It is probable that William R. Morrison, the brilliant author of the Morrison tariff bill, will succeed Judge Cooley as chairman of the commission.
