HAYES's PLANS.
He VIII Try 60 CsjoIe the South With
an Empty Compromise.
TWoahfpUfou niSnatch
lWashington Dlspatch.l

If action can be deferred In the committee
and, better still, in the senate, Hayes will be
free To take q passive policy, in hope that
the Packard government will disappear
without bloodshed or riot-a contingency
of which he and his advisers are seriously
apprehenslve. This course of action brings
two serious disappointments to the south
ern democrats who guilelessly accepted
Hayess pledges of immediate justice for
Louisiana. 1t involves delay until after the
adjournment Of the senate, which cannot be
before the end of this week, and perhaps not
until week later. 1t may also involve the
appointment of a commission, extra official
selected by the president, after Grants ia
miliar model, charged with the duty of d.
viding the offices of the several state govern
ments. The project for such commission
has been limited to-day, and excites
serious alarm among Nicholls's friends.
Vice President Wheeler is suggested
rs the head of such a commission. and two
or three members of each party will be sent
south with them. Such course is consid-
cred by Louisiana demOcracts as a practical
evasion of the pledges in Hayess inaugural,
and as affording a method under which the
rights of the state can be bartered, its repre-
sentation in congress impaired, and its state
government established upon the basis of a
compromise as abortive as that to which
Wheeler lent his name two years
ago. In spite of the strong opposition
which'is being made, it appears to be in
creasingly probable that some such course
will be taken. kellogg has nearly given up
the hope of admission to the senate during
this session, in spite of Morton's intention
to press him. An additional obstacle in his
path arises from the fact that caucus of
the Nichols legislature will meet to-mor-
row afternoon and select a candidate who
will be elected by that body for the same
term to which kellogg was sent by the
Packard legislature

The clan OF Cameron.
IWashinaton Disnafchl

Simon Cameron has abdicated the senator
ship in favor of his son Don. His resigna-
ton is already in the hands of Governor
Hartrsnft, of Pennsylvania, and Don is on
the ground at Harrisburg watching the legis-
lature which Is to bestow the succession on
him. As the present Pennsylvania legisla-
ture is emphaticallya Cameron machine,
there is little doubt that Don will be author
lEed to step into his fathers shoes. This un-
expected movement OF Cameron here is the
gossip of the town today. Various causes
are assigned for the step. 1t is known
that Simon is still unreconciled to Hayes,
and has not called on him since Hayes re-
fused to retain Don in the cabinet. The
most probable cause is Simon's anxiety to
keep his son in public life, coupled with the
knowledge that his own hold on human life
is uncertain. Simon's term has two years
to run. If Don gets into the senate now,
Simon will probably live long enough to fix
the legislature which Will elect Don's sue
cessor. so that it will elect Don to succeed
himself. This would perpetuate the political
power Of the Cameron family eight years at
least, and insure the existence OF one thorn
to pierce the side of Hayes's administration.

THE ABDUCTED WIFE.
The spouse Of q Reformed Priest
stolen and Sent Back by Her
Brother.
cincinnati Commercially

Cincinnati Commercial.
In the Commercials account, yesterday,
of the mysterious disappearance of the late
Rev. Father Homan's wife, and the suppo-
sition that she had, contrary to her will,
been forcibly carried away and secreted by
her friends, to cause a separation, IL was
stated that Homan intended making a de-
mand for the return of his wife. and, If she
was not forthcoming, taking such measures
as would cause the arrest of certain parties
on the charge of her abduction.
Yesterday Mrs Robertson, the sister
of Mrs. Homsn, called on Mr.. Romans
mother and others, to ascertain the where
abouts of the missing woman 1t was
learned that she was at the Convent of the
Good Shepherd. on Bank and Baymiller
streets. Mrs. Robertson repaired thither,
and while in the building her brother. who
had taken her sister away on last Sunday,
called with a carriage. and drove Mrs. He
man to the house of Mrs. Robertson, No
469 Baymiller street, and left her there.
This was at II o'clock on yesterday. Mrs.
Homan was last evening suffering intensely
from nervous excitement and prostration,
on account of rough treatment received,
and was considered in a critical condition.
Physicians were attending and administer
ing proper stimulants for the purpose of re-
storing her.
The younger brother. who enticed her
away on Sunday from the house at which
she was stopping in Covington, had close
carriage waiting conveniently near into
which it is said he urgently pressed her,
when she refused to enter ii of her own ac-
cord. He is described as a rather impetuous
young man, believing he was right in an en-
deavor to cause a separation of the man and
wife, and determined to take her to con-
vent at all hazards. After disposing of his
sister, he returned with a carriage, in COM
pany with Romans mother and cousin for
the purpose of getting Holman himself into a
convent. Mr.. Homan did not fall in with
the idea, and positively refused TO leave the
house.
1t is said that the action of the younger
brother resulted from a consultation held
with an older brother, who lives in this city.
Ii is also mentioned that while Mrs Holman
was at the convent il was represented to her
that her husband had left her forever, and
she was advised to think of him no more.
This had such a wonderful influence on her
as to produce the dangerous condition Of ex-
element uhder which the woman Is now

lDCeiOAt ACO AtOoo.J
One of the most remarkable exhibitions
OF somnambulism ever given in this city
took place about o'clock Saturday morning
near the corner of High and Sixth streets.
The principal actor in this serio-
comic drama was an eighteen
year old miss named Annie Bar
ton. and she was first discovered by G. w.
Hedges. He was on his way home when his
att ntion was attracted by a queer looking
object seated upon the top of grapevine
arbor just over the fence. Stopping. Mr..
Hedges looked at the figure until he saw it
move, when he spoke to il, but received no
answer. At this juncture, Captain O. c. Stark
wea Ther, of tn Trumoull avenue police sta
ton, came along Sixth street on his way
home. He was stopped by Mr.. Hedges, who
pointed out the queer figure, and they
were not long in doubt as to the nature of
the apparition Its a woman" said
Captain Stark weather, and "She must
be asleep" continued Mr. Hedges. Arriving
at that conclusion the men opened the gate,
and, walking TO the arbor, called TO the
sleeping girl, but received no repl Capt.
Starkweather then began climbing up the
arbor, at which the girl started on lively
run, and going the whole length of the arbor
roof, made jump, clearing a space of about
eight feet, and alighting upon the roof of a
woodshed.
This maneuver astonished the men, who
awakened Mr.. thompson and his family and
told them there was a sleep-walker upon
their Soodshed. Soon Mr. Thompson, his
wife and son Joined Mr.. Hedges and the cap
tain in the chase. What was their surprise
to find that Miss Barton had clam bered from
the shed to the wing, and thence to the apex
of the roof to the main building, where she
stood quietly leaning against the chimney.
Finally ladder was procured and young
Thompson climbed to the side of the roof,
but, getting there, found it so covered with
snow and ice that it was impossible for him TO
reach the girl. So down he came, and the
| ladder was carried to the front of the house.
where it was put in position with one end
against the roof peak. This time Captain
Starkweather took off his boots and climbed
up. The girl stood quietly until he was
within few feet of her, when she ran to-
ward the wing and sliding went from one
roof to the other thence she jumped back
to the grape arbor, and before any of the
men could get to her, jumped to the ground
and, dashing through the back gate, ran
up High street The chase was con-
tinued to the Crawford street park. where
she was captured Then it was found that she
was completely dressed, with the exception
of hat and shawl, and that during all OF her
hazardous midnight ramble had not re-
ceceived the slightest injury She was taken
to the Trumbull avenue police station until
her relatives, being notified, put in an APP
pearance and took her in charge This is
