Washington who like her and admire her for the
plucky fight she has made to gain herself posi-
ton in the operatiC world. We are all her friends

her to never attempt again to give Olivette'-at

kindly, and 1t is because we do that we give this
advice and stop thcre-not caring to go into the
reasons why we SO advise, which must also be

of good voice and much culture. We

The GarleId.Dawes Letter.

Washington, "a reporter of the
Western Associated Press visited
the White House tonight and OBJ
aimed true version of the Presi-
lent's letter to Senator Dawes. The
President did not retain copy, but
the note was short. In the first
place, the President wrote he was in
favor of a free ballot and fair count,
not only in Virginia, but in every
state, and would encourage it, but
he would not assist in elevating a
nan who, as editor of a daily paper,
is constantly attacking and defaming
him and his Administration. He
referred to Gorham, editor of the
National Republican and nominee
of republicans for secretary of the
Senate. The above is substantially
all the letter contained. In it the
President said nothing about the
pending nominations in the Senate.
On this subject, however, the Presi-
dent maintains the same position he
took before the caucus committee,
that if the Senate sees fit to pass
some of the nomin atoms over, that
is the business of the Senate, but the
President cannot countenance any
movement or suggestion for select
ing cert in nominations for con-
sideration and leaving others un-
acted upon. AS to what the Senate
shall do he has nothing to say or to
suggest, that is for the Senate to de-
termlne.

The Republicans VILE.

Washington, S.-The report Of the
committee, outlined yesterday, was
to-day amended so as to make the
doubtful features clear, and was
finally adopted with unanimity in
the shape of a resolution, which
provides, in substance, that
executive sessions shall be
held forthwith = the first one
tomorrow - for the transaction
of accumulated business in the fol-
lowing order: First, reference Of
nominations now on the table to the
appropriate committees; second, the
consideration of pending treaties /;
third, the consideration of all nomi-
nations heretofore or hereafter
reported from the Senate COM
mittees, which respectively are
not objected to by the republican
senators from the state to which the
Office appertains. 1t was further
expressly provided that as soon as
the uncontested cases shall have
been disposed of the caucus shall
again assemble for the purpose of
determining what additional bust
ness should then be considered by
the Senate, and, although in the
meantime contested cases" as
above defined, shall not be
allowed to impede the trans
action of other business, the
caucus is left wholly unpledged
as to its future action In regard to
them. No specific allusiOn was
made to-day to Judge RObertson's
nomination or any other individual
nor was any action taken,' or pro-
posed, in regard to a change Of the
caucus candidates for the Senate.

A sharner Nabhed.

New York, 3.-Wm. johnson, APP
parenLIy Californian, is a prisoner
at the police headquarters, charged
with attempting to introduce in the
city a peculiar western sWIndle, the
complainant being Colonel e. Ellis,
of No. 90 South street, who is in the
toWbOat business. Johnson pre-
scented to him letters of introduction
from the president of the National
Board of Stockton, Cal, and other
well known business men in the
west. The letters, doubtless forger-
les, were addressed to bank presi-
dents and others in the city, and
spoke of the bearer as a man of IN
tegrity and honor. Mr.. Ellis
accordingly treated his Wis
itor with much consideration.
On Monday johnson called on him
and proceeded TO tell a long story OF
saving the life of burglar, who had
robbed the Bank of California, and
who told him where the gold was
buried; and he now sought Mr.. Ell
lis advice, asking him to go with
him and see the gold which the bur-
glar was, in gratitude, to share with
johnson. This made Ellis suspi
cious. He made an appointment for
the next day and appeared to be
ready to attend TO the matter. FL
lis met johnson at Compton House,
who showed him a gold brick, and
said he had eighteen such bricks
worth $50 0 apiece, which he would
sell for $3.50 each. Mr.. Ellis
seemed anxious to close the bargain
but objection was made, as he did
not have all the gold. There
was another meeting appointed
and Mr.. Ellis left with johnson,
when detectives arrested johnson.
The practice has been to make a
gold brick, which is exhibited of
base metal with one corner of genu-
inc gold, and across the middle a
streak OF bullion, through which a
saw is run. Johnson gave his age
as SO years, and his residence as No.
80 West 4Sth street. It is believed
that other persons, less sharp and
less fortunate than Mr.. Ellis, may
have been swindled.
