RoBEsoN BEING WATCHED.
His Extraordinary Actions in Regard to
the Naval Bill ArOusInp SusuIcion

AAAb H4ASraorulhary ActlOns Ia Regard to
the Naval Bill ArOusIng Suspicion.
WASHINGTON, June 13.-Secor Robeson
has gone away for week. Members of the
Appropriation Committee and of the House
regard Robeson's course at this time as both
remarkable and mysterious. He is chair
man of the subcommittee on Appropria-
tions whose duty it is to prepare the Naval
Appropriation bill. That bill has not vet
been reported to the House, nor even to the
full committee. Not since the Republican
party came into power has the Naval bill
been so delayed before. Last year It was re-
ported early in January, and with but six
exceptions, in % years It has been reported
not later than February 1. 1t has been as
serted, and, if reports are not wrong, on
Robeson's authority, that the bill was under
careful consideration, and was almost ready
1t now appears that the bill has never been
considered by the subcommittee. Robeson
has never called the subcommittee together.
The subcommittee has never met No ex-
planation is given of this extraordinary pro-
ceeding.
What the explanation of this is can only
be surmised. Either Robson has prepared
the bill himself and worked into it his Jobs,
with the intent to rush it through the com
mittee and the House at the last moment,
or else he dares not face the attacks which
he knows are in store for him, and he hopes
by delay to prevent these attacks. What
ever his motive, he has over-reached him
self.
The remarkable delay and the unusual
course he has adopted have served all the
more to call attention to his conduct. His
petty strategy will not only avail him moth
ing, but it will be the means of clinching the
determination of members to watch him and
his measures to the end of the session.

The centre of the area of high barometer
is moving slowly southwark, permitting the
depression that was over Nebraska and
Kansas to pass northeastward toward the
Province of Ontario. This change in the
relative positions Of the high and low areas
is likely to bring about steady rise in tenn
perature during the rest of the week, with
local rains in the northern sections of the
country. Rain fell yesterday in the Missouri
Valley. Elsewhere fair or partly cloudy
weather prevailed. The temperature rose in
the eastern districts and remained nearly
stationary elsewhere. The winds were gen.
orally fresh east of the Mississippi river.
The weather in New York and its vicinity
to-day will be warmer and hazy, with posi-
bly, light shower in the evening. To-
morrow promises to be warm and partly
cloudy, with an occasional shower in the
early portion.

Robert Lambden, Laurel, Delaware, I"
was written across the register at the
European Hotel yesterday. People who
knew Lambden felt more interest in him
than eyer before when they saw him in the
city yesterday. His gaseous letters in the
Morning Neacs have attracted but little
earnest attention and a vast deal of amuse-
ment, and his vain presumption in imagining
they would have influence has put Elijah
Pogam TO shame.
The "Sussex Chieftain," !" as the Ne,os calls
him In its fond idolatry, sat IN front of the
hotel last night and talked with down-State
politicians of the Republican stripe, for
many were in town. Judge Fisher Jim
Lohand, Dick Harrington and number of
others were here. The three named are
accused of helping Lambden write his let
ters. "Bob" Lambden is aman whom YOU
VIII not forget If you see him once. He is
heavily built and walks on one leg and two
crutches. His visage is nOrid, and his man
ner is that of shrewd old fellow who likes
nOtoriety.
Mr.. Lambden's opinion is eagerly yearned
for by the Republicans. They regard him
as their political Moses in Sussex, and rec
ognize in him that desirable element of brag
which they are going to use so extensively
In the coming campaign. They have patted
him on the back and he has graciously re-
sponded to the earesses. He has written
letters and letters. Four or five have been
published in the Neics, and a good many
more are on file. Mr.. Lambden came to
town yesterday and another letter appears
In the Neos of to-day. Some one saws he is
to be member Of the News staff at an early
day

last night, DR.. Montreville NJ. Hedges, a
dental surgeon and a sporting man, was
arrested here on bench warrant issued by
Joseph f. Barnard, Justice of the Supreme
Court at Poughkeepsie Hedges gave him
self up. The complainant, Francis p. Weed
of this city, charges Hedges and William NJ.
Scott, who is now dying of consumption in
California, with cheating at games and con-
spiracy to defraud. 1t is stated that the
three played game Of poker in this city in
June of last year, each betting Sl50,000 on
a single hand, and Weed and Hedges lost
Weed now charges that the hands
were put up by Hedges and Scott
they to divide the the winnings. Weed
had recently received from the estate of
his deceased father fortune estimated at
about S50O,000. Of the amount lost it is
stated that Weed paid the defendants during
the year over 100000, having compromised
for S120, 200, and that 900 is yet due on
an unpaid note. This Weed now desires to
avoid paying and has begun attachment pro-
ceedings against Hedges and Scott to recover
as much as possible of what they have
already received. A house in Newburgh,
owned by Hedges, has been levied on by the
sheriff of the county and an effort is being
made to secure valuable trotting horses
owned by Hedges, which are now at the
races in the West, while legal proceedings
have also been begun against Mrs Hedges
and the doctors boy to secure any property
there may be in their names.
The affair causes much excitement here,
some of the parties being highly connected.
There are plenty of rumors of startling de-
velopments that may yet come to light.
