Mr.. Gould wants to see ''all the countries OF

antiquities. As matter of course he will
do the Holy Land and China, but will not
penetrate the interior of Africa nor seek for
the north pole. In passing through India
he will drive a span of elephants, and in

CROOKED OFFICIALS.
Serious Charges Against Two of the Com
inissiOners of Tuscarawas County, Ohio.

NEwcoMERsTowN, o., Jan. 19-The COM
mittee recently appointed by the court to in
vestigate the official acts of the commission
ers of this (Tuscarawas) county, has just
made public its report, and it creates the
greatest sensation ever known throughout
the entire county. The committee find that
two of the commissioners II. b. Keffer and
J. II. Benfer, have, during the past two
years, been guilty of not only misappropriat-
ing county funds, but have drawn money
from the county treasurer illegally and
awarded contracts in violation of the stat
utes. The report of the committee shows
that the management of the Childrens' Home
has cost the county $210 year for each child
maintained, which is three times the
cost of maintaining the inmates of
any other similar institution in the
State. Besides his other transactions
Benfor, on various occasions, charged
the county for his work while he was attend
ing soldiers reunions and congressional con-
ventions, and drew his pay for the same,
while at other times he charged the county
enormous railroad fare when it did not cost
him cent to travel as he had passes over
the various roads. The charges made in the
report, if fully substantiated, will impeach
both men, who are Democrats.

Why Mr.. Hoar Is Pleased.

ashington Special.
Referring TO his election, Mr. Hoar said
II should scarcely be credited il l were to
state how little interest or care | have had
for my own election, when ] have been a
candidate for office before. But | have been
very deeply interested in the result at this
time, and anxious about it. The bitter at
tacks that have been made upon me within
the last twelve months, as to my action on
matters in regard to which l had no earthly
temptation to do anything but what was
right, have made this expression of conf
dence from the State of Massachusetts,
doubly precious, and | know that in re-elect-
ing me the legislators have done it, most Of
them, if not all, differing with me in regard
to some very important public questions on
which | have been called upon to act.
such mark of their confidence especially
puts upon his honor, il anything else were
wanted to do so, the person to whom they
have given ii, and makes it particularly nee
essary ior him to be careful to do nothing in
the future which their best Judgment will be
likely to diSapprove. The most gratifying
circumstance connected with the contest has
been the very strong and emphatic express
sions of regard and affection which have
come, almost without an exception, from the
Democrats in the Senate. Persons with whom
/ have been represented as having had angry
differences have expressed to me in the
warmest terms their friendly regard and
their desire for my reelection, and would
not exchange these expressions of their es-
TEEN for the office itself. The one thing
which gives strength and honor to the public
servants of Massachusetts, is her willingness
to allow them to exercise their own conscion-
tious judgment, even where it may differ
from hers. Almost the only ofTense she will
not forgive is a mans failure to act up to his
own convictions, even for the purpose of
gaining her favor"

son presided, and Mr. Miller, of Pennsyl-
vania, was secretary. Speaker Keifer offer
ed a resolution which, in effect, declared
that the Republicans of the House would
proceed to consider the tariff bill on Tues
day next. Immediately after the naval APP
preparation bill shall be disposed OF, ana
that it shall have preference over all other
legislation, excepting appropriation bills,
until brought to a vote. The resolution was
apopted after brief speeches from Mr.. Kel-
ley, of Pennsylvania; Mr.. Mckinley, of
Ohio, and Mr.. Haskell, of Kansas, in ex-
PLANTATION of its provisions and probable
effect. Mr.. Kasson spoke, but not so
much on the merits of the
bill as to urge full and
constant attendance of Republican members
during the debate. 1t was agreed that there
shall be four hours of general debate on the
bill, two hours to each side, and that the
amendments shall be debated under the five
minutes rule. While there was perfect har-
mony in the caucus, and ii generally-ex-
pressed desire to pass the bill and so effect
revision Of the tariff, several members ex-
pressed their intention to amend it. and
understood that there would be demands for
modification from the Republicans when the
bill gets under way. Estimates given IN ex-
PLANTATION of the effect of the bill put the to-
tai reduction of revenue from customs re-
ceipts at $25, 100000; reduction on sugar,
above $12, 100000 and the reduction on wool
at 81, 100000. The estimated specific reduc-
ton is put at an average of II per cent

commended by the tariff commission, and the

THE NEWHALL DISASTER.
Cumulative Evidence Against Scheller-The
Total of Lost Reduced to Fifty-Nine.

MILWAUKEE, Jan. 19-Scheller, the alleged
Newhall House incendiary, was brought back
to Jail quietly this morning. 1t is now set
tied beyond doubt that he never left the city,
but was concealed in the house of one of the
deputies of the sheriff The reason for this
action is hard to find, because, besides the
excitement Immediately following the mat
ter was taken very quietly. Evidence that
Scheller removed his stock the day pre-
vious to the fire accumulates. 1t has now
come to light that he even removed the balls
of seven billiard tables before the fire. The
value of the stock secreted, so far is about
81, 600
Since the discovery of the fact that Scheller
disposed of a large part of his stock the
excitement regarding the prisoner is grow
ing. Six barrels of whisky secreted by him
were attached to-day by creditors. The
authorities refuse positively to let the pris-
oner be seen or to give information regard
police leave people to infer that they have
positive evidence to substantate the charge
made against the prisoner.
