WASHINGTON MEMS.


WAsHNGToN, Jan. Cit is stated to-
day, upon the authority of Eastern Sena-
tors, that VIM e. Chandler viii certainly
succeed Hunt as Secretary of the Navy.
The President has approved the recon-
mendations of the Secretary of the
Interior, touching tie report of
the Government Railroad Commissioners
upon the newly completed one hundred
miles section of the Atlantic s. Pacific rail
road, and has accepted the same, This ae
ton confirms to the railroad eompany's
patents to over 20. 900 acres of land per
mile.
A member of the Senate committee in
vestigating the Treasury contingent fund,
says several Irregularities in the reckless
payment of money have been found, and
the committee is determined to place the
responsibility where it belongs.
A delegation headed by Representative
Miller, of Pennsylvania, waited upon the
President to day, and urged the appoint
ment of E. W. Oyster as Public Printer, in
place of J. ID Dsfrees
A number.of prominent republican rep
resentatives, including Robson. Kasson,
Reed, Butterworth and Page, met to day.
Some thought they were holding caucus
relative to the manner of proceeding in the
contested election cases, but several mem
bers said, when questioned. that there was
no business transacted and the meeting
was purely informal They decline to say.
however, what particular questions were
considered
It is quite evident that Sargent has been
given to understand he win have the
Secretary of the Interior portfolio, but he
will not be nominated until after the cleo
ton in Iowa. Secretary Kirkwood and
his friends on one side, and Wilson and
his friends on the other, prefer this arrange
ment, and it has SO been represented to the
President. Secretary Kirkwood realizes
he is to be superseded and does not want
to enter the Senatorial race in Iowa, or
interfere with it in any manner But should
he be retired now, he anticipates that his
friends would endeavor to get him into the
Senatorial race. He is desirous of avoid
ing this pressure and of quietly retiring
when he leaves the Interior Department.
Wilson and his friends are very willing
to avoid any complication, and hence are
pleased to have Kirkwood remain undis-
turbed until after the Iowa election. This
being mutual matter, it is said the Presi
dent has acquiesced and will not nominate
Sargent until towards the first of Febru-
ary-by that time the Senatorial election
will have been held, and the change will
not disturb politics in that state.

FoRTY-sEvENTH CONGRESS.
SENATE

WASHINGTON. Jan. 6.-Senator Maxey
offered resolution instructing the secretary
of the interior to furnish report on the sur
vey of the United States and Mexico bound
ary under act of June 9TH, 1853, and if no
final report has been made by the commits
sioner, to report the fact with the result of
the work so far as prosecuted. The object
of the survey was for a boundary between
the United States and Mexico under the
treaty of 1928.
Senator Sherman moved to take up his
bill for the issue of three per cent. bonds.
Senator Beck antagonized it with the
tariff commission bill to be reported Mon
day.
Senator Mcpherson gave notice of an
amendment making bonds redeemable after
January 1st, 1891, instead of payable after
Januaty 14th, 1887, and extends the time
of payment to thirty years.
Senator Plumb gave notice of an amend
ment directing the use of all funds now
held in the treasury for the redemption of
c. S. notes in excess of one hundred million
of dollars for the redemption of three and
one half per cents.
The resolution of Senator Davis, of West
Virginia, asking information relative to
pension frauds, was passed.
There was some discussion on Senator
Edmunds' amendment to Senator Davis
pension fraud resolution, striking out ''di-
recting the Secretary of the Interior to re-
| port his opinion upon such legislation as
he thought advisable" Senator Edmunds
argued the President alone was empowered
to recommend legislation.
Senator Hill, of Georgia, cortended
that while it was the duty of the Presi-
dent to do this, there was no limitation oi
the power of Congress to get opinions from
others.
Senator Davis said the Secretary had es-
timated 800, ,00o, 900 would be required
for this year, to pay the pension roll. and
this estimate he learned had been increased
| by the Commissioner to 1920. 100000. No
body knew where the increase would stop
and next year, tor aught he knew, itwould
/ TeaCn lie HAT
stated last year that the pension bin would
cost the Government sum greater thar
the national debt, and the statement wal
| laughed at The present indications seemed
to fully justify the statement.
Senator Logan said the statements wert
not based on accurate information anG
should not be allowed to go to the coun
try uncontradicted. The assumption tina
the pension arrearages would cost NOR
than the amount of the national debt, wa
certainly not based on any reliable basis
The report of the Commissioner OF Pen
sions showed that with a certain force q
his command the arrears of pensions couls
be paid in two years, and that after thes
were paid, the roll would be reduced y
forty or not over fifty millions. The Sen
ator from West Virginia could not he'll
knowing this. for the report was befor
him. There was therefore no reason t
alarm the country by a statement such a
has just been made.

Edmunds' amendment was adopted

No preparation ever introduced to the

Consumption, in the incipient or advanced

The repeated and continued sales of the

of its real merits. Letters and testimo-
mails from every quarter of the country,
attesting the stimulating, tonic and heal

the most skeptical reader of its intrinsic
virtues. Further commendation is unnec-

ARGUMENT BEGUN.

WASHINGTON, Jan. I'm the Guiteau
case this morning Davidge opened the ar
gument upon the legal points, and was fol
lowed with the closest attention. The
jury were told by the Judge they might be
excused for the day, but all preferred to
remain and listen to the arguments.
The prisoner assured counsel he would
not ask to take part in the legal arguments
to-day. but he should insist upon making
any comments he might deem necessary to
set them right on either side. AS the ar
gument progressed Guiteau pretended to
read letter, but in reality followed Dav.
idge with the closest attention. The few
interruptions he made were unnoticed by
counsel save when Guiteau called. out, q
didn't know the difference between right
and wrong, had no other choice, if had
would not have done it. :"
To this Davidge said: 1--WE will come to
that by and by"
The first sensation of the day was
caused by the reading of Judge Davis of
New York, charge to the jury in the Cole
man murder case. Judge Porter relieved
eDavidge and read from newspaper slips.
Scoville with some importance objected to
any more such dramatic efforts on the part
of Judge Porter intended fn

speech to the jury; that he Porter knew
that he had no bearing upon the case
.sOf course he knows it., Guiteau shout
ed. ssAnd more that the jury decided the
case directly against the charges of the
court"
Judge Porter repeIled the intimation, and
insisted this force which had so long been
enacted by the counsel of the defense
must now stop. If not rebuked by the
court it would be by Others, Judge
Cox ended the dispute by saying
the matter read was undoubtedly
authority. If an applicability to this case
conld be commented upon by counsel at
the proper time; as Davidge resumes,
Guiteau again shouted, II want to get this
thing right before the jury; every one
Jury gave a verdict against that
charge and this prosecution know it well. .
The effect was electrical when Davidge in
a most deliberate and earnest manner said;
tsYour honor, this man for three weeks
held up to us as an imbecile, and now
listen to him He not only knows the
difference between right and wrong but
understands fully the law of the case

er. Scoville, though, is fool. l repudi-
ate him and his whole theory of defence.
All want is two hours before that jury
and can settle this thing all right
The scene was lively one for few
minutes. Judge Cox raped for order
and soon Guiteau subsided. and Davldge
continued without further interruption to
the end of his argument.
