Wf. NJ TWEED STILL SILENT.
What Secretary Chandler Expects 70 Find IN
the Sealed Hnruaue.

William M. Tweed seemed much re-
ireshed when he arose yesterday morning. lie
enjoyed his breakfast, dinner, and supper, and
talked with his son, Gen. WIN. M. Tweed. Jr.,
hts brother, Richard NJ. Tweed, his pri-
vate secretary. Foster Dewey, and bs
phys.ciin ex-Coroner Schirmer. He received
no other visitors at any time In the day. In the
morning ho walked in the Jail yard
by permission Of Warden Watson. His baggage
Is still on board the frieate franklin II is In an
aft store room. There are two bags or parcels
OF medium size which were taken on the ship
at viRo. They were put under lock and seal by
the Spanish authorities, and the pieces of rcd
tape and two large red seals attached to them
have not been DISTURBED. The baggage IA under
the close guard Of the marines. Collector
Arthur said that he had nothing to do with the
baggage; that 1t was In the care OF the Navy
Department. The Collector said that he sent
oficers down on Thursday In compliance with
the request to have rweed's baggage passed un-
der the Custom House rules, and these Officers
examined only that which WIS brought on
shore. Commodore Nicholson said that he
had received no Instructions from tho Navy De-
paftment concerning the packages.
IL Is Rener lly believed by politicians that
orders from Washington will be received by GER
tam oncials directing them to search the bag
Rnge, with tho hone of finding important docu-
ments that may serve the Administration.
These papers, II Il said, are to DE taken from
Tweed, and II II Il found that they may aid In
bringing corrupt Republicans to Judgment, that

LOSING the Match.

Col. ]. ii. Mclaughlin, the champion

neat inside quarter lock, which Mclaughlin
broke, almost bringing him down In the return.
A similar lock was, after some diminishing and
sparrine, attempted by Mclaughlin, but was
broken by Gruce In manner that deserved the
apD Iuse he received.
Some cautious work ensued. and then Grace
tired twice IN succession the "heel and ham "
catch, but McLaughlin's answer was each time
too quick for the catch To be pressed to either
narrowly escaped being thrown. Finally Grace
attempted an over lock-" but, before he could
