WASHINGTON, December 20,-The Star
says that the general sentiment Of tho
members OF the House Committee on Elec.
tlons in regard to the nnon.CampbeIl
case from Utah is that neither ia entitled to
a seat in the House. The committee will
first inquire into tho subject whether Can
non is or is not IN alien.
Ex-senator Mitchell, Of Oregon, says he
Is satisfied that Sargeant is to be appointed
Secretary OF the Interior. Mr.. Mitchell is
well informed in regard to Pacific coast
politics. Other prominent Republicans
from tho Pacific States speak with equal
confidence OF the appointment Of Sergeant.
The impression is growing here that he Is
the coming man.
Representative Henderson, Of Illinois,
who recently introduced In the House n
bill to regulate Interstate commerce, says
he intends to devote considerable energy
10 the passage either OF his bill or some
other that will control aud regulate railroad
tariff. lie says u law OF this kind Is neces.
sary to protect the stockholders Of railroads
as we'll Us other classes Of people; that as 1t

brokers band together and wreck almost
any road they direct their efforts against:
Then they buy deprecated properly and
thus are rapidly getting control Of all rail-
roads.
General Henderson says that in the last
Congress he favored the law fixing maxi.
mum rates which railroads should charge,
but now he Is inclined to favor the bill fix
ing minimum rates, 30 that each shipper
may calculate precisely what his transpor-
tatton will cost him. He says II the pres
ent Congress fails 10 pass q law Of this
character, It will DO guilty Of neglect Of
duty that the country will not pardon.
District Attorney Corkhill says Davidge
would make the opening speech for the
Government In the Guiteau case "Then,

follow, / don't know whether Reed will
speak or not. Judge Porter will then close

New York Socialists Bounced for False
pRetenslOnH.

NRw YoRE, December 2O.-At to.day'l
session Of the socialistic Labor Party Con
yention the following preamble and reso
lutions were adopted; In former states
under the capitalistic system, the wages Of
laboren have become less than is necessary
for their wants; that when their wages
are increased through the protective tariff
their expenses are equally increased, and
that when free trade lowers the cost Of liy.
Ing wages are also lowered; therefore
the resolutions declare that the
tariff question in no way affects the
true interests Of. the laboring people
OF the country, being a question OF more
interest to the employers, and used by
them as an instrument to draw the work.
ing people into the old parties "The true
protection" the resolution concludes, "lies
in the organization OF all trades, with the
ultimate purpose Of transferring all instru.
ments otlabor into the common property
Of the people,"
The Convention expelled IS members,
including Jlstus II, Schwab, who had been
suspended in March last, for fraudulently
calling themselves "The New York Section
Of the socialistic Labor Party" and issuing
cards lormembership under that name.
