PHILADEIPHIA, March 22.-The guests In
the Hotel Lafayette, on Broad near Chest

somewhat extraordinary incident that 90.
CURED. 1t was the incident Of the forcisle
election Of countess for nonpayment OF
board and other reRons. Like many
representatives of foreign nobility who
find . haven in the hotels OF large
cities and some OF the watering
places, the countess is surrounded with .
mystery, and even the tangled CLAIM OF
circum stances leading to her departure
from the hotel may not be entirely un-
raveled until the case comes up in court,
as now seems certain to take place. When
she came TO the Hotel Lafayette about six
months ago, registered from Paris, she was
alone. Since then the hotel has changed
proprietors, and when the present one Mr..
Maletly, took charge his predecessor told
him that he left him the Countess S Q
legacy which might or might not prove ad.
vantsgeous. She called herself simply
Madame Racouska, but informed nearly
every one with whom she came in contact
that she was Polish Countess, and her
accomplishments, imperious conduct and
eccentricity have contributed to make her
claim accepted She speaks English very
we'll, and French and German correctly,
and is musician. An EAelish lady named
Mrs. Morten, who was only surpassed in
mystery by the madame herself, and who
came to the hotel few months ago, and
has been under her protection ever since,
says that she was veritable countess, and
she had known her abroad. The countess
has entered suit against Mr.. Malthy. She

eating Cases.
WASHINGTON, March 22.-Commissioner
of Pensions Dudley said to-day that he ex-
pected TO use all OF the $S5,OOO,ON, which
he had estimated would be needed for the
payment of pensions during the current
fiscal year. The force is in splendid shape,
and is turning out the cases very rapidly
now. He had made an estimate that re-
quired 293 cases per day to be
adjudicated in order to accom-
plish the work he had laid out
for the present fiscal year, and he thought
it would be done unless there was an un-
usual delay in forwarding proofs. The
only thing that could keep back the WORK
was dilatory action on the part OF claimants
themselves in not sending in the data Tor
the establishment of their claims. The
Commissioner said that G, ,236 cases, under
the act Of March 3, making the new ruling
for disabilities equivalent to the loss Of an
arm or leg, had already been adjudicated.
lie said also that any case could be taken
up now in the 100000 without doing hard
ship to any one else through delay, owing
to the thorough condition in which the
files had been placed.
Upon the action of the Pension Office for
the rest of the year the operations OF the
Treasury will more closely depend than on
ANYTHING else. If Commissioner Dudley is
able to use the amount OF money he has
estimated will be needed for his work
during the rest of the year, it is held at the
Treasury that there can certainly be no
more calls for bonds. On the other hand,
should he not require so large an amount,
there would be some surplus left for use In
redemption. The only other obligation Of
consequence during the balance OF the year
is the SIS, ,OOO,O 900 May call, although there
must be allowance made for the reduction
in receipts to an extent not less than &c.
OOO, 900 probably.

reduction in taxation, would amount to

WASHINGTON, March 22-The fact that
John A. Walsh had been present in the
Criminal Court room the past few days,
caused SOME comment, but it was rather q
surprise, nevertheless, to persons interest

known that the Government is making
determined effort to secure an indictment
against General T. J. Brady in connection
with the former, and prominent United
States Senator for conspiracy to defraud
the Government kier was in the grand
jury room during nearly the whole session
to-day. Walsh was examined at length,
and it is believed his testimony was sub
stantially repetition of that given before
the grand jury in July last. Collector J.
B. Price and Others have also been called
upon to testify, and it is expected their
combined evidence will make the case much
stronger than i: was in the first instance.
AT the end OF to-dsy'S session the grand
jury was excused until Monday next.

CLEVER CoUNTERFEITS.
A New silver Dollar That IL Puzziing

LOUISVILLE. March pa very perfect
counterfeit silver dollar is annoying the
business men of tnis city. Nobody knows
whence it has come. 1t is the best coun-
terfeit that has yet appeared, and il re.
quires an expert TO detect it. The weight,
size and color are the same as those of the
genuine, and when dropped on hard wood
il has the same ring. There is only one
way to detect the difference. The ear of
the Goddess OF Liberty is larger on the
counterfeit than on the genuine.
By rubbing ones hand over the
face Of the woman the big ear can be readi
ly felt. This new counterfeit bss come

appearance in San Francisco. They weigh.

two-thirds Of it was silver and the rest

turned on New York, and numbers have
found their way into Chicago. Where they
all came from is q mystery. 1t is evident
that they are the work of some exceedingly
clever men, who are experts in their nefa-
rious trade. The Secret Service detectives

THE BATTLE CRY.
Tariff 10 Take the Place OF the Bloody
Shirt.

NV YorK, March IA Rochester, y.
y, special TO the Sun says: The Repub.
licans intend TO make the tariff the main
issue in the next Presidential campaign If
they possibly can. In such a contest the
Republicans leave no doubt that they
would carry New York, New Jersey, Penn
sylvania, Ohio and Indiana and for the
plain reason that in the Democratic party
in those States there is strong body Of
protectionists. For example take New
York, it is a great manufacturing State
and all through the lines OF industry in
the counties west and north OF Albany.
The men who are employed in mills or
shops generally favor protective
policy. There is not doubt that
this issue, thrown into the can
yass at the right moment in 1880 helped to
give the State TO Garfield. 1t came near
taking New Jersey away from Hancock and
the Republicans claim that it turned the
scale in their favor in October in Indiana.
But not alone at the West is this change Fl
opinion cropping out Manufacturing OF va
rious kinds is increasing at the South.
preat.many Southern people are abandoning
their old free trade ideas and are adopting
the doctrines OF 1Iery Clay on protection Of
American industries. At all events, judg.
ing from what New York leaders say, it Is
evident that Republicans have lost faith in
the old war. path issue, and will rely for
success in the next Presidential election,
upon making the free trade controversy
the hinge upon which the contest shall
turn.
