EARLY PRESS DISPATCHES TO
THE GAZETTE
A PLACE FOR POOR OLD reLaEK.
a Ruinor Thnt He is to Get Justice
bradley's Seat--Foreign News of Intsresf
--knssia's Wariiie Preparations.

NEW YORK, Nov. 13.--A World special
from Washington says at seems that
after all Secretary Folger isnot TO go utterly
unconsoled for his sacrifices. Justice Brad
ley of the Supreme Court will reach the
age OF 70years in February or March and
VIII then avail himself Of the privilege Of
retirement, thus making a vacancy into
which Judge Folger may slfp.
There can be no doubt of the Press
idcnt's wish to moke q change in
the Treasury or that Mr.. Folger would
tind purely judicial associations more to his
liking hereafter than any other kind and tho
President has expressed an inclination to
crafty him. He would probably be con
firmed without question or delay. The act
that two of the bench would then come
from New York would weigh nothing
against confirmation, for two remain from
Ohio whom Hayes appointed, besides Jus
tice Woods, who passed most of his life
there, and there has been q retirement OF an
Ohioan since Hayes rule, making really
four out of nine on the bench from that
depleted State at one time"

NIINNEsOTA,s PROBLEM.
Political Circles Agitated in Regard b
the Senatorial Succession.


the Senatorial Succession.
ST. PAUL, Nov. 12.-Political circles are
now agitated over the Senatorial succession.
The list of casulties from Tuesdays Legisla-
tive contest is not complete, but It is known
that some of Windom's candidates were
slaughtered, especially in the First district,
where the Dunnell influence worked their
downfall. While Window claims eighty,
or four more than is necessary to choice on
joint ballot, his reelection is far from being
sure. Dunnell denies Windom's claim with
vehemence, and insists that four Of a work
ing majority will show up against Window,
perhaps not for himself, but for anybody to
defeat Window.
Window is entered against the field, and
If this opposition can only be organized SO
as to concentrate its force on any one man
his case is hopeless. II the contending
candidates cannot sink their own interests
and act together Window will win. Dun
nell is exerting himself to organize the op-
position for Windom's defeat, sinking out
of sight all considerations OF his own ad-
vancement.
So far Ex-Governor Davis and Lieutenant
Governor Gilman have been working with
Dunnell and they may now discontinue the
clashing OF conflicting interests. Congress-
man-elect Wakefield is a possible compro-
mise candidate, Gilman and Davis are
schemiDg for TIE succession. Just how
Dunnell is to harmonize these incongruous
clements and hold them to his purpose of
defeating his enemy is the political problem
of the hour. Milo r. White came
near being defeated in Dannell's district, it
is said, through Dunnell's pique at having
been beaten by him at the convention
through the instrumentality of Window, as
he believes. The fact is White may yet be
lost, as Bieman will contest his election he
fore Democratic majority, and he only has
about five or six hundred votes to overcome
to attain his end. Ames will contest Wash
burne's election in the Fourth, the majority
to overcome being 1000.

DIR. HAMnToN's BIG BILL.
Explaining His Claim of @25, 600 for At
tendance ON President Ganrfield.

aChAahcO On IFdsHuenB 0hFnGt0.
WAsHINGToN, Nov. 12.-Dr. Frank II.
Hamilton of New York, In submitting TO
the Board of Audit his bill amounting 10
$4,000 for services rendered to the late
President James A. Garfield, wrote to Judge
Lawrence as follows
In the presentation of a claim which /
know cannot be paid out of the sum OF
money (S35 ,5c0) placed at your disposal by
Congress, my intention is only to indicate TO
you what would regard as the minium CON-
pensation for similar services in the case Of
private citizen who was pecuniarily respon-
sible and who would not be embarrassed by
such payment. l will further say, that
while do not make for myself any relative
claim, must protest against the presenta-
tion on the part of one of the physicians In
attendance of q relative claim, to the effect
that lie is entitled to ''receivc double the fee
Of amy other physician in attendance"
which claim was laid before the House Com
mittee, and may have been laid before your
Board"
The letter was accompanied by a state
ment OF the nature, of the services rendered,
at the conclusion of which DIR. Hamilton
said:
Tho circumstantial statements / make
with great reluctance, but they seem to be
rendered necessary by the fact that there are
fntimations to the contrary contained in the
report of the House Committe, and obtained
apparently from sources which the committee
considered reliable. Moreover, Congress
has chosen to place the payment OF the
medical attendants upon purely business
basis: and your Board has therefore properly
Instructed the claimants to "describe fnlly
the services rendered" The sole item
which l have to present to your Board as the
basis OF my claim is, my long attendance
upon the late President as consulting sur
geon, with Its accompanying responsibilities,
which God forbid shall ever again be called
upon to bear.'

HAWKINS and number of officers.
When the officers arrived on the scene,
about six men were sitting around a table,
upon which lay a sweat-cloth and some
money. Blake was about to shake the dice
when he saw the officers. 1t was useless to
make an attempt to escape, SO they cody
surrendered. The persons taken il custody
were Peter s. Blake, John Walker, John
Nicholas, Harry Flemmings, Charles Preston,
Charles Morris and Robert Todd, all colored
At the hearing before the Mayor
yesterday morning the facts were estab-
lshed by the testimony of Robert Shockley,
Matthew Jenkins, John Duckeny and several
others, who were among the victims, TIE
sweat-cloth and dice were put in evidence,
Blake was held in 81 900 bail for court and
the other prisoners were discharged, after
being reycrely reprimanded. Blake is out

NOW 1Ork sun,
WAsHISaroN, Nov. 10.-Whatcvcr Robe
son may be in other respects, he is not a
fool. About the first thing he did after his
defeat was to come TO Washington and put
up his big house for sale. When he began
1t he counted on getting into the Senate,
That is all changed, and he proposes now to
sell the house. The prospect is that his is
not the only house that will be thrown on

Owning big house In Washington will
hereafter be one of the things that will not
count in favor of a public man who came
here poor. as Robeson and Blaine and some

Egyptian FINANCES.

PARIS, Nov. l3.-Cherif Pasha, Chief OF
the Egyptian Ministry, has communicated q
note to the French government Announcing
the abolition of the financial control on the
ground that the control forms no part OF the
guarantees given to the creditors of Egypt,
and is calculated to diminish the authority
of the Khedive and wound the suscepti-
bilities of the natives, and this has led to
gross abuses.

THREE BUILDINGS GUTTED,
A Fire In the Western Portion of tn
Civ.

A Fire In the Western Portion of the
City.
About $50 o'clock last evening 81 alarm
was heard upon the City Hall bell and i'm
mediately the Fire Department was ready
to respond, and before the requisite limit of
strokes had been completed the companies
were on their way to the fire.
The fire proved to be in two frame houses
on Third street near DUPONT Before the
companies could reach the scene, the build
ings were enveloped In flames. The run is
one of the most difficult in the city, being
an up grade for nearly a mile. The com
panies upon arriving went TO work at
once, but found great difficulty in OBJ
talning water, as the plugs seemed
to bc out OF order. The Weecacoe was the
tirst to obtain water and worked manfully,
but despite all efforts the two frame houses
were destroyed. Adjoining the houses was
a two story brick structure, known as Con-
gress Hall, used by the eelored people as
place Of meeting. This building was also
Quilted by the flames. The two frame build
ings belonged to Joseph Sampson a"d Ed
ward Tllman, both colored.
The fire was caused by the upsetting Of a
lamp In tho residence of Tilman. A portion
of the furniture of each family was saved.
The buildings and furniture were partly
insured.
ANOTHER ALARM.
Abou O O'Clock large volume of smoke
was seen issuing from the chimney of a
house on Fourth street between French and
Walnut streets. The Washington Fire
Company run out their hose carriage and
attached the hose to plug. Seeing this,
and thinking there was fire, Martin Traub
sounded an alarm from box -.
The department responded, but no fire
dispnVQrQ1 oc ta mil I'm. In
house were merely making fire in the stove
for the purpose Of preparing tea. The an
nouncement OF the Ne'rs that Mr.. Traub
would be prosecuted by this officials of the
department is entirely erroneous, as they
consider that he was perfectly justiiiable in
sounding an alarm after seeing the actions
of the Washington Fire Company.
