WAsHINGToN, Nov. 12.
The action of the Cabinet to-day in
structing the Attorney General to prose-
cute al cases in the South or elsewhere
arising out of a violation of the law as to
the preseDce of federal supervisors at the
voting for congressman is seized upon
by the "stalwarts" as evidence that they
have converted the President to their
view Of the political situation. They
boldly declare tonight that the Presi-
dent has made a "fiop" and has aban-
doned the so-called Southern policy and
come over to their ranks. The visit OF
M essrs. Zach Chandler and Don Cam
eron 1T the White House this morning is

important change In MIR. Hayes policy.
The argument of the "stalwarts is that,
with nearly two hundred instances In the
South of a violation of this law, vigor-
GUS prosecution of the offenders by the
United States law officials will make
more evident than ever the incorrigible
and irreconcilable character of the
democratic Bourbons ofthat region, and
prove that the solid South will be found
to exist even in the jury box, whence the
conviction of an offender will never is.

Three Parties arrested for Being Com
.l cerned in their Theft.
The robbery of VIM. Rawnsley's cigar
store, ON Monday night, was placed in
the hands OF the police next morning, and
the suspicious of the officers were at once
directed against certain parties who hang
around the saloon of VIM. Carroll, on
West Fourth street, near Market, on the
north side. Officer Jones accordingly
procured a search-warrant and went to
CarrolPs house, yesterday afternoon
where, after thorough search, he found
two pillow cases full of cigars hung up
In the garret. He also found a we'll
known light-fngered chap named Thom-
as McGarrighe, better known as "Broekey
Iom," concealed in the garret, and
promptly arrested him. After taking
his prisoner and the stolen goods to the
police station, Officer Jones returned in
company with Chief of Police O'Toole
and Sergeant Legg,when another search
was made, which resulted in finding 4
large tin bucket full Of cigars hung up in
another part Of the garret. These cigars
were also.taken after which the proprietor
or the house, VIM. Carroll, was arrested
on the charge of receiving stolen goods.
Sergeant Legg and officer Jones then
went to house of ill-fame in the west
ern part Of the city, kept by a woman
named Mag Ayers, and there arrested a
young man named George Hagany, alias
"Slim Jim," on suspicion of being con-
nected in theft Of Rawnsley's cigars.
"Slim Jim," was placed in the cells, to
keep company with his delectable chum.
'Brockey Tom," while Carroll was re-
leased on 5000 bail until be should be
wanted for hearing. } q
"Slim Jim," "Brockey Tom" and two
or three other equally disreputable rascas
who made their headquarter, at Carroll's
house, have long been suspected of slip
perry transactions, but no positive offence
was traced directly to them until yester-
day. "Brockey Tom" several weeks ago,
succeeded in robbing young countrymafl
but the rustic victim caught him after
long chase, and after administering a
severe drubbing, recovered his money.
The cigars that were captured in Car
rolls house were recognized by Mr..
as the ones stolen from his
mandatory on Monday night. Some of
them were partially damaged by rough
but the bulk were in good con-
dition. fi-J -.
1t was at first supposed that some ofthe
cigars captured in CarroIl's house were
those stolen from Saml. Schultz's cigar
store, several weeks ago, but after an ex-
animation Mr.. Schultz said that none of
them were his.
"Brockey Tom" and "Slim Jim" are
still in the City Hall cells, and will
have hearing this evening. Carroll
will also have hearing tonight.

friends and relatives. He came here
from Wilmington, Delaware, where he
had lived for number of years. His
birthplace is thought to have been
