THE ONLY VACANCIES IN yIR-
GINA AND MISSISSIPPI.

Manning Not to Take Any Action I'm
less the House Acts Adversely-Mc-
Pherson's Long Term as Clerk
Thomson Not Endorsed by the Ohio
Delegation.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 29.-The Clerk of
the House of Representatives has COM
pieted an unofficial but perfect roll of the
new House. There are two vacancies in
the list, one each from Mississippi and
virginia. Mr.. Manning, who received the
certificate for the Second Mississippi dis
trict, has not filed his certificate with the
Clerk, and it is unofficially stated that he
will not do SO, nor claim any benefits from
its possession unless the House shall act
advisedly upon the claim of Mr.. Chalmers
to the seat. Chalmers has filed with the
Clerk affidavits and certificates of officials
designed to prove that by reason of cler-
lcal error the vote of Tate county cast for
himself was recorded as having been cast
lor ). Il. Chambliss. Among the papers
Is statement of the official who made the
error acknowledging that fact under oath.
Inc virginia vacancy is caused by the
resignation of John Paul, who has been
appointed to Judgeship. This seat was
contested by O'Ferrall, the Democratic
opponent of Paul, and the vacancy, it is
understood, is not to be filled until the
House shall have acted upon O'Fer
rails claims. With the election OF
McPherson's successor as Clerk of the
House OF Representatives, that gentleman

Office covering a period of fourteen years.

es, and then, after an intermission of six
years, was reelected at the beginning of

term Of service of any of Mr.. McPherson's
predecessors was that Of Matthew st.
Clair Clarke, of Pennsylvania, who held
the office fifty years ago, and whose ag-
gregate length of service was a little more
than thirteen years.
Gen. RoSecrans has prepared and will
present in the House at the earliest op-
portunity, joint resolution proposing a
constitutional amendment forever pro-
hibltlng polygamy within the jurisdiction
of the United States.
An important incident to-day in the
contest for minor places in the Organiza-
tion OF the House was the failure Of John
u. Thompson, eX-Sergeant-at-arms, to Sc
cure the Endorsement of the Ohio State
delegation in his candidacy for his old
place. He and his competitor, Mr.. Lee
dom, agreed to let majority of the
State delegatian say which of them
oHoluu De presented W Tue caucus
as the choice of the State. At the meet
ing of the delegation tonight, at which
eleven of the thirteen members were
present, and one member voted by proxy,
LeedOm received seven votes and Thomp-
son five. One of ThompsOn's supporters
moved to make the nomination of Lee
dom unanimous, and this was done. Mr..
Thompson said tonight that he would
abide the decision of the delegation, and
make no further effort TO secure his own
nomination.

How PaImer's Friends Got a Drink

When track drivers get together they
viii have their fun. Doc Palmer, as all
know, progresses through the world with
an artificial leg. Some months ago Doc
and number of the boys found them
selves in a Connecticut town. Hotel ac-
cOmmOdatiOns were decidedly precariOus,
and it was just Docs luck to be quar-
tered in room meant to contain two, but
affOrding shelter for half dozen. Early
in the morning the greater part of the
party woke up with ''cOppers hot" and a
diligent search failed TO produce enough
Federal money to pay for the necessary
refreshment. In canvassing the situation
Doc Palmer's artificial leg came in the
range of the greatest wag of the party.
Catching up the leg, the cOnspirators filed
down stairs, leaving the owner snoring in
blissful ignorance OF the theft. Ranged
along the bar, each man was quickly
served with his favorite beverage.
'.HOw much do we owe youT' inquired
the custodian Of Dee Palmer's limb.
1.-Two dollars and forty cents" was the
reply.
t.All right. We'Il leave this with you,
and man will come along soon and pay
you the money" So saying he handed the
astOnished barkeeper the leg.
VERY well,1 said that worthy, when he
had recovered his breath, 81 guess that's
good security.''
BY and by stumping sound was heard
on the stairs, and presently Doc Palmer
made bis appearance. He went straight
10 the bar and inquired for his missing
property. The sequel was, Doc settled,
but the boys gave him a wide berth until
they considered 1t safe to oapproach him.

TAYLOR NOT TO RESIGN.
The Cleveland Address and Its Framers
StigmatIzed.


SALT LAKE, Nov. 29.-John Taylor,
President of the Mormon Church, in an
interview yesterday, says that he does
not propose to resign at present in any
bOdy's favor. 1t has been rumored that
he would resign in favor of Cannon, so as
not to allow a split between the church
and the cooperative store. Taylor says
that all is harmony and prosperity in
the church. Three hundred missionaries
are at work all over the
world with great success, and Mormon
ism is bound to prevail, especially in the
United States. More converts have been
brought to Utah in the past two seasons,
since the passage of the Edmunds bill,
than in any four years before. The church
organ copies the Cleveland anti-Polygamy
Society's constitution and adds: ''If this
secret abomination, initiated at Cleveland
shall spread all over the country, surely
the hypocrisy, stepped as it is in the
slough of iniquity, shall bring upon it the
swift judgment of offended heaven

Two Important New Bills.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 29.-The Judiciary
Committee of the Senate have ready for
early consideration bill to enlarge the
powers of the Supreme Court. This mea-
sure is substantially the same as that
recommended by the American Bar Asso-
citation. The hopelessness of the docket
of the Supreme Court is well known to
lawyers, and that some remedy must be
applied is evident. Senator Edmunds has
hopes that this bill will pass both Houses
this session.
Another bill of equal general import
ance is national bankruptcy act. Sew
eral members have new measures TO in
trOduce in this direction.

These, added to the 50 votes from the
North and East, give total of 90. There
is every reason, Mr.. RandalPs friends say.
why he should expect to receive a larger
vote from Arkansas, Missouri, Michigan
and Indiana than is included in the fore
going estimate.
1t is generally admitted by calm OBJ
servers of the situation that Mr.. Carlisle
is now the leader i'll the race. His friends
are not dismayed by the Randall tactics.
They say that the predictions made by
the Randall men of disaster sure to follow
the election of any Of Mr.. RandalPs oppo-
nents have always been made before when
he was a candidate. The air of mystery
that surrounds his canvass, the wise
shake of the head, and the suggestion
of great changes to come soon in
the contest; the sounding of Mr..
RandalFs praises as shrewd
manipulation. are all alluded to as charac-
teristic of all his political undertakings.
If they succeed at all they are expected to
do so with the new members, who are told
that Mr.. Randall is good reWarder and
a severe punisher, and that his memory of
men has always enabled him to remember
his opponents 50 well in his successors as
to make 1t an easy matter for him to re-
ward his supporters with good places on
committees, while his opponents never
failed to come out at ''the little end of the
horn" when the committee list was made
up.
Though Wizards Hotel is the head
quarters Of Mr.. Cox, yet when one steps
into the lobby it seems as though Car
isles friends have possession of it. Here,
for instance, is Senator Vest, with mill
tary cloak thrown caTelessly around his
shoulders, making what seems to be a
brilliant appeal to half dozen men.
They listen closely to him as he assures
them that Carlisle is sure of Missouri's
vote, and that Missouri is the key to sue
cess. Mr.. w. d. Hill, of Ohio, warm
friend of Mr.. Cox, steals Up and listens to
Mr.. Vests eloquent pleading. The smile
that played over Mr.. HIPS rather solemn
face was sarcastic, aud he shook his head
to indicate that Mr.. Vest was all wrong.
Leaning against post Mr.. Morrison
entertains his friends with funny stories.
They get the impression that with Mr.. Nor
rlson work is over and play begun; that
Carlis1e's election is so well assured that
lests can be tossed about and funny stories
told. Mr.. Morrison repeats his assertion
that Joe Brown wrote Gen. Gordon's let
ter, and he shakes his finger warningly at
Senator Eaton, who is working with a
new member from Michigan for Randall.
But Mr.. Eaton is too earnest in this busi-
ness to joke.
The Hon. Joseph Blackburn enters in
his breezy and absorbing way. The
crowd rushes over to him. 81 tell YOU.

send an echo back Mr.. Carlisle is nomi-
mated; he is nominated on the first ballot,
