TO RETURN EAST.
A Gentleman Well-Known In Wilmington
TO Leave the West.

a GoNtlenlAn Well-hnOWn IN wilmington
to Leave the West.
From the Times of Laredo, Webb county,
Texas, the following is CLEANED from a
column article concerning gentleman we'll
known In Wilmington:
"It is not our sad Office to write an
obituary, but TO make note of the con-
templated retirement from our midst Of the
present general superintendent of the Mexi-
can National Construction Company-Mr.
s. L. Fuller-who has presided over its
management and operated its lines
of railway in Texas and Mexico,
and extended the Mexican National
almost from its initial point on the Rio
Grande to Garcia, in the interior, distance
OF 100 miles.
The facility, steadiness and satisfaction
with which this work was done, the quietude
and economy which characterized its pro-
gress and the great enthusiasm which well
coined its arrival at Lampagos, Bustamante,
| Monterey and elsewhere fully evidenced the
fact that q master was at the helm, who, as
the general superintendent, was the able
executive, and who, as the representative he
had in charge, had, in all his relations with
the people, proven himself an upright
man, whom they delighted to honor"
The article then goes Ton TO describe the
careless manner in which the previous man
agement had run the work, and compli-
menting, in eulogistic terms, Mr., Fuller's
work, to whom the paper, with deep
regret" says farewell. Mr.. Fuller will re-
| turn to the East with his wife.

SENATORIAL FIGHT IN BOSTON.
A Set Back for Mr.. HOar-Gov. Butler
Denying the Rumors of His Candidacy

A Set Back for Mr.. Hoar-Gov. Butler
Denying the Rumors of His Candidacy.
Boston, Jan. 1.-THE Senatorial fight
waxeth hot on the hill, and the first skir-
lnish was a set back for George Frisble Hoar.
Two morning newspapers published reports
that Governor Buffers friends, ex-Collector
Simmons, Colonel French, John /. Baker Of
Beverly, and sundry Butler Republicans,
held q conference at the Governors law
office yesterday, and decided that Governor
Butler was the candidate the Democrats
should support for Senator, and the lists
were there prepared of legislators whose
votes should be solicited. This statement
had some effect, but not what its
originators intended. It>created q tempo
rary panic among the Long men, who de-
cided they would vote tor Hoar rather than
for Butler. The Hoar men planned the
scheme to force q vote at the Republican
conference aud turn 1t into q caucus, but
before the conference met the report Of
Gov. Buffers candidacy was shown TO be
trick, and 1t hurt Hoar's chances percepti-
bly,. No meeting was held at Gov. Buffers
Office, and the whole story was exploded by
the Governor, who said
SIN the first place Col. French was in
New York, in the second place l believe MIR.
Simmons to have been in New York, as /
saw letter from him to a friend day be-
fore yesterday dated in New York, and l
suppose he is still there. The Hon. John !.
Baker has not been in my office since last
Friday, as he informs me-" (turning to Mr..
Baker, who was present and nodded in con-
firmation of the statement and
have not seen him since last
Thursday, when l saw him in the
Hall OF Representatives. The report was in
every respect ialsehood, and, as i under
stand it, was introduced into the Republi-
can caucus to-day with the proper stage
effects. / suppose II was a weak invention
of those having charge Of that institution.
Whatever other opinions / have of Senator
Hoar, 1 have too high an appreciation OF
his honesty to believe that he would counte-
nance or profit by any such trick as this to
promote his election"
President Crocker of the Senate, zeal
GUS Hoar man, presided at the conference.
Speaker Marden said that no other course
approved tself to his conscience but to vote
for Senator Hoar.
The Hoar men to night profess themselves
strongly in favor of a caucus, and will call
one if they believe their chances are good.
The Long men prefer, it would seem, to
keep dark and await results. The Demo
Gratis, knowing that they cannot elect a
Senator of their own faith will vote for
Long, or any one who can beat Hoar.

WANTS TO BE sPEAKEa.
Some Interesting Talk Between Black
burn and MIR. Ellis of Louisiana.

Some Interesting Talk Between Black
burn and MIR. Ellis of Louisiana.
WAsHINaToN, Jan. 11.-Congressman
Joe Blackburn is campaigning vigorously
for the Speakership. Yesterday Congress
man Ellis of Louisiana met Blackburn In
the Appropriation Committee's room.
Said Hiscoek Joe, go for Ellis, pledge
him."
Said Blackburn: "No; Ellis is against
me, aud for Carlisle"
Said Ellis eyes, am against you"
Then Blackburn rebuked Ellis for sup
porting Carlisle, and reminded Ellis that
Carlisle was not supposed to favor the Mis-
sissippi River Commission. This touched
Ellis, and some rather hot words followed.
At last Blackburn twitted Ellis of his
failure to prevent the appointment of the
special Mississippi River Committee. He
told Ellis that 1t was very strange that a
Louisiana member should have allowed the
resolution appointing that committee to
have slipped through when an objection
would have killed it.
Ellis professed to be astonished that Black
burn should allow his anxiety to be Speaker
TO carry him SO far as to make such taunt
as that, and then they separated.
Canvassing for the Speakership is getting
rather hot as between Blackburn and Car
Isle.

THE REYRoLp CASE.
COntradicting the PlaintiH--The WhiIldIn
Not Forcibly Seized.


Not ForcibIy Seized.
At $50 yesterday afternoon the estimony
of Anthony Groves was resumed In the
Reybold case. The cross examination of the
witness was concluded concerning the
chartering of boats of the plaintiff.
Several charters of the Whilldin to the
Government were offered in evidence by Mr.
Bayard, who declared that his purpose in SO
doing was to show that the boat was not
forciblY taken by the Government, as the
plaintiff alleged further to prove that when
the plaintiff said he had his boat chartered
but once he did not state the facts. We pro.
pose to show also by his evidence that the
plaintiff abandoned his route for the purpose
of earning more money in the Government
employment.
Mr.. Bird declared that the charters had
no relation whatever to the violated contrast,
and Mr.. Gray thought their relevancy was
manifest inasmuch as the plaintiff had de-
clared that his boat had been forcibly seized.
Two or three charters of the number
offered were allowed in evidence by the
court. Mr.. Bayard read them and also a
certified copy Of Mr.. keybold's sale of the
Whilldin to the Union Company without
any restrictions appended thereto was pre-
sented. Mr.. Bradford failed to see the
pertinence of the copy as evidence. Mr..
show that the plaintiff had violated the con-
tract hiInself, and also that he misstated
facts in this court
While the point was being discussed court
adjourned.
THIS MoRNIN6's SESSION.
At the opening of Court this morning
Anthony Groves was permitted to take the
stand again to make a correction in date
given in his testimony Yesterday. Mr..
Bayard presented, to be offered in evidence,
the conveyance of the Whilldin and other
boats by Mr.. Reybold to the Union
Company. It's admission was objected
to- number of other papers were pre-
sented and nearly the entire time up to noon
was consumed in discussing the documents.
The files of the Baltimore Gazette were Of
fered, containing the advertisement of the
Union Company to the effect that it was an
opposition line to the Philadelphia and Balti-
more Company, the object being to show
that Mr.. Reybold had violated his contract.
The plaintiffs counsel objected and dur
ing the discussion little breeze occurred
between Mr.. Bates and Mr.. Bayard. The
former remarked that If the advertisements
were allowed in evidence they should be cut
from the papers so that no other matters
crept in with taem.
At this juncture MIR. Bayard remarked
that Mr. Bates was Sin a hole," and wanted
to get out.
Mr.. Bates, with some feeling, remarked
that he did not want to get out Of ga hole,"
and did not like to hear such expressions,
whereupon Mr.. Gray chimed in to the effect
that the gentleman could be allowed to
remain in the "hole." general burst of
laughter restored good humor and the pro-
eeedings went on.
