Forgery Charged Against Gallagher of
 Election Notoriety.
 CHICAGO, Dec. 23.-W. J. Gallagher was arrested to-day at the saloon of one of his bondsmen on Clark street. When it became known that he was connected with the Chi cago election frauds steps were taken in Phil adelphia by number of his victims, he hay- ing been guilty of repeated forgeries there, to prosecute him. Finally a man named Abe Thompson, who held ten forged notes of Gallagher in sums of various amounts az gregating some $1 500 or $1, 800, went before the grand jury in Philadelphia and secured an indictment. This indictment was put in the hand of MT. H. H. Henshaw as the agent of the State of Pennsylvania with the Gov ernor's commission. In obedience to law he went to Springfield and secured a warrant from the Governor of the State of Illinois, who commissioned James Mooney to make the. arrest under that warrant. He made the arrest and Henry ". Thompson, Gallagher's attorney, appeared on the scene about noon. The Uni ted States district attorney objected strenu- ously to the removal of the man, as did the citizens committee, who had cases against Gallagher. The result was conference and at 2 o'clock this afternoon District Attorney Tuthin and Thompson went before Judge Blodgett and secured an order of the court | for the detention of the prisoner upon condi- tion that his bondsmen should surrender him l peFpetually to the custody of the United 1 States marshal and upon that order of the court being served upon the agent of the State of Pennsylvania W. J. Gallagher passed into the custody of the United States, there to remain.

Holiday Recess
 WASHINGTON, Dec. Representative Holman says if the naval appropriation bill which was passed by the Ssnete to-day should become law at this time it would involve the department in such tangle that it would require an expert to extricate it. It is claimed by those who profess to know that Representative White, of Kentucky, will in sist upon having quorum of the House present before any business can be transact ed. If he pursues this course the naval bill cannot now be passed by the House as there is not quorum of that body in the city. It is probable, however, that Mir. White will not press his point on the House resolution as amended by the Senate to-day so to provide for recess from tomorrow until January 5. Should he do so the House will be compelled to go through the form of meet ing from day to day including both Christ mas and New Yesr's day. It is said tonight that MT. White has gone to New York and will not be in tie House tomorrow to pre- vent action on the recess resolution as amend ed by the Senate
