Contested Elections.

~, WASHlNGIoN, May 10.
The indications are that the minor.
ity OF the House will delay action az
much as possible Oil the contested cleo.
tion cases which are expected to come
up during the present week. In con.
versation on the subject to-day promi.
nent member Of the minority, said:
"lf the contested election cases are
forced ahead of the regular appropri.
alton bills the chances are that The
session will extend into Augu ST."
The House committee on elections
rendered decision some weeks ago in
the contested election case of Mackey
vs.. Dibble from the Second district of
South Carolina in favor of Z. W. M,
Mackey, the Republican contestant.
Mr.. Dibble, the sitting member, fled
in the House to-day memorial setting
forth that since the decision of the ccm-
mittee was made, sworn evidence taken
in the course of the trial of the election
cases in Charleston, has shown that
the contestants after securing Uesti.
mony to support his claim to the seat,
changed that testimony in
the record. In view of this alleged
and the memorialist asks that the

he.Strikers,

A representative Of the REPUBLICA,
In conversation with two boss brick
layers on Tuesday stated to him thai
this strike amongst the bricklayers
was instigated by Philadelphia parties
and that the Wilmington men would
not nor could not hold out In their de.
mand, as the bosses had contracted for
work enough ahead at the old prices
that to fill their contracts at the ad.
vance asked for would break them up.
They also stated that several of their
old hands had gone to work at the old
prices and that others would do the
same to-day. They apprehended no
bad consequence from the strike at this
time of the year. They also said that
the men would be glad to get work be-.
fore the year was out, if they were not
mistaken. That four dollars day was
not too much to pay a good bricklayer
If 1t could be got from speculators and
builders, but 1t was unfair at this time
TO ask of the bosses the advance.
When asked by q representative of
the REPUBLICAN if the strike would
seriously affect the building business.
they answered, yes, for it has alread !
frightened several large speculators
that intended to build this year, but
since the unsettled state of labor and
the advance in bricks and other build
ing material, they had for the present
given up the idea of building.

Richmond, May 15.-The appearance
of j. L. Loubat, of New York, with hi
friend. E. A. Brougiere, in this cit,
last evening created considerable OK
citement. 1t was supposed duel va.
to be fought near here with Henry
Turnbull. When, therefore, Louba
and Brougiere took the seven O'Clock
train on the Richmond and Allegheny
Road this morning they were closely
watched and number Of newspaper
men went on the same train with them
The party alighted at Cedar Point abou1
forty miles from here. The New York.
ers took carriage and went to q Mr.
Glassons a member OF the Union Club,
of New York.
The farm of this gentleman is stu.
ated near the historic village of Dog
town, In Goochland county. They re-.
mained until this afternoon and re-
turned to this city. On the train, in
conversation with newspaper cores.
pondents, Mr.. LOubat said that he and
his friend had merely gone up the river
on o pleasure jaunt and had no idea OF
dueIing. The circumstances surround.
ing their visit has given a strong color.
ing to the belief that such was not
their intention in going to Glasson's o..
l t is thought that LOubat went to that
point and advised Turnbull of his pres
ence in that neighborhood, so as to
give him an opportunity of meeting
him if he desired. Loubat and Brougi-
ere expect to leave here for New York
Tomorrow morning If they do not
warrants may possibly be issued for
their arrest.

Germ the people and added "lf you
had carefully read my circular, which
the papers have taken the trouble to
publish, you would have noticed that
in my last letter to Mr.. Loubat l in
formed that gentleman that as he did
not think proper to resent my language
at the time of the conversation between

any further notice on my part. Now,
all l wish to ask you is this: Have any
of my words or actions since this cir
Cular was issued tended to indicate that

in the letter in question %
" Not that know of
"Well, thea, do not ask me whether

The Tariff OmmissiOn.

WASHINGTON, May 16.-The Cabi
net was in session several hours to-day
and was engaged, it is understood a
large part of the time with the consid-
GRAFTON of the Tariff Commission. A
close friend of the President said to.
night that he did not think that any
appointment beyond that OF Mr., Kirk
wood was yet fixed, although Edward
Atkinson was likely to be a member
and also, he thought, some good repre-.
sentative of the importing merchants
of New York. Much of the discussion
in the Cabinet is understood to have
been upon the considerations which
must govern the selection of the mem.
bers.
The President and his Cabinet are
believed to be impresse d with the diff
Guilty of making the nine selections in
way to satisfy the almost innum er.
able requirements Of the Commission,
but it is known that the President sees
tie necessity of getting the Commits.
sion promptly to work, and will there.
fore, make the nominations as soon as
possible, probably within a week.

ry store, corner Maryland avenue and

Mr.. Hilton said the barrel was left
on the pavement after he closed and
when he opened out the store about five

Mr.. Houck, whose place of business Ia
near by, and Immediately notified an
othcer and the Two went into Mr..
Houck's cellar and found part of the
molasses in tub and part of the barrel
cut up for fire wood. They peered into
the furnace and saw some of the barrel
slaves burning. When accused of the
theft, Mr.. Houck at first emphatically
denied all knowledge of it, but when he
realized that they had him foul, he ac-
knowledged the corn and offered to set
tie the matter by paying for the molas-
ses. Mr.. Hilton thought the offense too
serious one to admit of his accepting
the proposition and he ordered the off.
Ger to take the man in charge.
