A SPEECH BY SENATOR BAYARD.

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 9.-The Democratic
Campaign Cub celebrated the anniversary OK the battle

beautiful, the company large and distinguished John
H. DoInert, the former President Of the Old Hickory
Club presided. Among the company who sat down To
the banquet were Senator Bayard NJ Delaware, Gov.

striking out altogether the item Of $4,000 to pay
charge daffaires ad interim and diplomatic Offices
abroad; appropriating instead of $4,000 to paw
loss by exchange consular service only enough to
nav the cost of sending gold to London; reducing the
item (S1 $50 for contingent expenses of consul
ates, and striking ont reducing the allowance OF
800 900 for the relief and protection of American
seamen in foreign countries. The remaining reduc-
tons which Mr.. Springer will propose will be conse-
quent OH abolishng clerkships and revising the ex-
penses Of cOnsulates.
AS the most of the salaries of foreign ministers
and consuls and the number of their clerks etc. are
fixed by law, and do not depend upon the PROVISIONS
of the annual appropriation bills, the work which
Mr. Spriuger's committee will have to do will be to
recommend changes of those laws. There has for
many years been class of men IN Congress who
have believed that the whole system of keeping
foreign ministers at foreign courts was unnecessarily
expensive and that all business which could not be
properly conducted by consuls could be done directly
through correspondence of our Secretary of State
with the Ministers of Foreign Affairs of other ma
TONS They say that on special occasions special
ENJOYS might be sent to arrange very important
matters This class will probably be heard from this
Winter.
The proposition to cut down the salaries Of the
frst-class missions Will meet with opposition among
some of the Democrats most anxious 10 reduce eX-
penses Several whose attention has been called to
the subject have expressed an opinion that If we
send representatives at all to irst-cass European
Powers we ought to pay them salary enough to
enable them to live in proper style, without en-
gaging in questionable speculations.

THE CHICAGO PENSION SCANDAL.
MISS SWEETS PAYMENTS TO MARSHAL CAMPBELL
OUT OF HER sALARY-BLAKELEY CAUGHT IN ]
PREvARTCATION.


PREVARICATION.
IBT TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE
WASHINGTON, Jan. 9.-The last number Of the
Washington contains communication in relation to
the Pension Office scandal at Chicago. which throws
some light upon it, and makes ii no longer necessary
to withhold full statement of the facts on which
the scandal has been based. In the first place, it is
true that Mr.. Blakeley formerly Pension Agent at
Chicago, did, while he was connected with The
Chicago Ereain0 Post borrow $1,000 of United States
Marshal Campbell, and give as collateral stock
of The Post which deposited in the Cook County
National Bank. In Mr. Blakeley's late card he says
that he never borrowed this money. This denial is
probably bubble, based on the fact that he gave
the note of The Post corporation instead of his
personal note.
Subsequently MI. Blakeley became bankrupt, and
the stock of The Post became worthless Marshal
Campbell was anxious 10 secure the $1,000 he had
lent. For that purpose he used his political inlu-
ence to secure the appointment of Miss Sweet to
succeed Mr.. Blakeley as pension agent and she in
turn has made payments from her salary direct to
United States Marshal Campbell on account of that
$1,000, and perhaps for other things 1t is not be-
heved that Gen. Logan had any knowledge Of the
matter. An elder brother of Marshal Campbell en-
ployed in the Chicago pension Office two months
during the time Miss Sweets father was pension
agent, drew salary of 50, 500 year, for the re-
mander of the time without performing any ser
vice. Part of this mans salary had to be paid out
of that of the pension agent

KENTUCKY SENATORSHIP.

MIR. BrCK AHEAD AT PRESENT ADNICEs-A HARD
AND UNCERTAIN STRUGGLE II PROSPECT
icy TELEGRAPH To THE TRiBUNEi
FRANKF0RT, KY, Jan. 0-An effort was made
Friday night to go INTO a caucus to nominate United
states Senator. The movement was made by friends
OF Mr. Beck principally, and while it did not sue
ceed in its purpose, it developed considerable
strength for Mr. Beck, indicating that he will get
about 30 or 40 votes on the first ballot. 1t requires
81 TO nominate in caucus. and 20 to elect on joint
ballot. The indications now are that some 10 or 70
ballots will he cast. and then a caucus held to nomi-
nate a Democratic candidate, though the opposition
to a caucus is very strong, the vote standing last
night about even for and against. Mr.. Caldwell
came out in a card yesterday morning, withdrawing
from the contest. This leaves Messrs. Beck, VIII
liams Stephenson, and Leslie on the track. The
chances are rather in favor of Mr. Beck but in case
of a very bitter and prolonged struggle, a eonbina-
ton will be made against him that will probably de-
feat him and elect Mr. Stephenson.

for gas meter. Sir Walter Scott, too,
made himself merry over the idea OF
illuminating London by smoke. though
he was glad enough not SO long after,
to make his own house at AbbOtsford
light and cheerful on winter nights by
the use of that very smoke.
When the House of Commons was
first lighted by gas. even the architect
imagined that the gas ran on fire
through the p PES, and he therefor in
sisted on their being placed several
inches from the wall, for fear of the
building taking fire and members
might be observed carefully touching
the pipes with their gloved hands. and
wondering they did not feet warm.
The first shop lighted in London by
the new method was Mr.. Alderman s,
in the Strand, in 1910; and one lady of
rank was so delighted with the bril-
liancy of the gas lamp on the counter
that she asked to be allowed TO take ii
home in her carriage.
Mr.. Mudoch was, however, too busy
with his other pursuits to continue the
study of the uses of gas, and though he
was undoubtedly the first to apply 1T to
practical purposes, many Others laid
claim 10 the honor, and other people
quickly reaped the benefit of his clev-
erness and ingenuity.

The Early Adaptation of Gas.

Gas, rs most people know, is inflam-
mable air given ont by coal. But who
first thought of collecting it and stor-
ing it, and using it TO light up streets,
houses and churches! The honor is
due To a very busy hard working engi-
neer, one William Murdoch. the fore
man of MeSSrs. Boulton & Watt, the
great engineers. 1t was when his real
day S work was oy that he devoted
himself to the nature and use of coal
gas, and at last he brought the disco
very into such shape that he lighted
his own house and offices with the new
combustiblo air and even contrived Il
lantern with bladder of gas attached
to it, to light him along the dark lanes
of the country at night. This was at
the close of the last century, and great
was the amaZement of the public when
the clever foreman decorated his mas
ters' mills, near Birmingham, with
blaze of light in celebration of the
peace of Amiens in 1902.

the idea of lighting towns by gas. and
