Deal.


Deal.
NEW YORK, Nov. 2S.-COngressman
David r. Paige, the close friend of Sena-
tor Payne, of Ohio, arrived in New York
Friday night. In the course of a CONVEX
satiOn with a newspaper man during the
evening, he said: ''My opinion is that this
will be thoroughly Democratic admin
istration. l think Mr.. Cleveland recog-
nizes that the responsibility of govern
ment is on the Democratic party, and
that to leave the responsibility even of
minor offices in Republican hands would
mean disaster. This civil service law is
a humbug, and the Civil Service Commits
sion bigger humbug yet. PendletOn is
crawtishing on it, and Commissioner Tho
man told me in Washington this week
that every official appointed under that
law could be removed. No Ohio man
will go into the Cabinet. Pendleton may
get a foreign mission, but he cannot
make the Cabinet. Ohio doesn't deserve
it, and he couldn't get it if she did,
A gentleman who claims to know some
thing of what is going ON in inner circles
has this to say about Mr.. CIeveland's in
tentions respecting his Cabinet: 1.-The
statements that nothing has been decided
upon by Mr.. Cleveland with reference to
his Cabinet are both correct and incor-
ISCJ. ne mas b&k0Q no Sbep from winch
he cannot withdraw, but he has done
some things which indicate a purpose
formed. He is wholly without knowledge
of men. He is trying to get acquainted
with the leading Democratic statesmen
and to measure them for his use. His in
clinations as to men have not been given
expression to any extent. The two
men, however, to whom he is looking
with most reliance just at this time are
Senators Bayard and Garland. The Del
aware Senator will accept the Secretary
ship of State. That is settled. Garland
is by all odds the ablest of the South
erners who have been mentioned for the
Cabinet, and will probably be called into
it. William c. Whitney, of New York,
can have a portfolio if he wants it. The
matter is now under advisement. Mr..
Cleveland's idea is that he must have
in his Cabinet men like Bayard and Gar
land for wisdom and craftsmanship,
while he must call in younger men like
Whitney and Stockton for politics. He
is relying very largely on Senator Cor
man, whose management of the campaign
impressed him favorably, and who wants
no office himself. Gorman's hand is to
be seen in the Governors liking for Gar
land, with whom German is closely lnti-
mate.

CARLISLE On CONGRESS.
TARIFF BILLS IMPROBABLE AT
THIS SESSION.

The Work of Reform Probably to be
Left for the NewIy-Elected Represen-
tatives - The Spanish Reciprocity
Treaty and Other Like Measures to be
Stubbornly Fought.
WASHINGTON, Nov. S0.-Speaker Car
Isle arrived here this afternoon. He was
weary and went early to bed. Before re-
tiring, however, he was interviewed and
said that he did not think that there
would be any tariff legislation this ses-
sion. The causes that prevented tariff
legislation last session were still present
and attempts at such legislation would
fail now as then. The revenue reformers
must wait for the next Congress in which
something could be done to reduced tariff
taxes. He thought that this would be an
uneventful session in which little save
routine business would be transacted.
lie also said that he was opposed to the
proposed adjournment for the purpose of
permitting members to go to New Or.
leans, and that he would be a candidate
for the Speakership of the next House.
Mr.. Carlisle has had no opportunity to
confer with the members since his arrival
and simply expressed his own opinion
about the prospects of legislation at this
session. His opinion, however, is shared
by large number of Democratic men,
bers.
v AITING FOR THE NEXT CONGRESS.
They argue that it would be expedient
to postpone a struggle over the tariff
question until the next Congress comes
in fresh from the people in comparison
with the present Congress. The Demo-
Gratis will hold a conference within the
next few days, at which the order of busi-
ness will be arranged for the session.
Representative Collins will make a hope
full effort to get the bankruptcy bill,
which has passed the Senate, through the
House.
Senators are cautious about expressing
opinions relative to the probable action OF
the Senate on the reciprocity treaty with
Spain, but it looks as if there would be
opposition enough to beat it.
There will be sharp fight in the House
over the proposed legislation to carry into
effect the Mexican reciprocity treaty, and
1t is apparent that contests will also oc-
cur on the Mexican pensions bill
and the postal telegraph bill. No
thing will take shape, however, until the
members have had time to consult with
each Othnr

The False Prophet Continues to Sum-
mon the General to Surrender.
DONGOLA, Nov. 30.-Advices from
Kuartoum state that Ell Mahdi continues
to summon Gen. Gordon to surrender and
that the latter replies by firing into the
enemy. On one occasion Gen. Gordon
told Ell Mahdi to dry up the Nile and come
across if he was a real prophet and that
he Gordon would then surrender. The
rebels are entrenched at Wady Ganiad.
Gen. WOlseley offered a prize OF 9100 to
the regiment which would make the
quickest passage in whale boats from
Sarras to Debbeh. A message from Gen.
Gordon, dated Aug. 2S, says that it is i'm
perative to the prosperity and tranquility
of Egypt that she retain possession of the
whole course of the Nile. He attributes
the present evils to the use of the word
abandonment by Gen. WOlseley in tele-
graphing to the Khedive. 1t is reported
that Ell Mahdi is short of provisions and
that much sickness prevails among his
forces. Five hundred of El Mahdi's regu-
lars are said to have Joined Gen. GordOn's

CONGRESS MEETS TO-DAY,
WHAT THE FIRST DAYS WORK
WILL CONSIST OF.

New Members to Supply Vacancies tn he
Sworn In-The Presidents Annual
Message to be Read-PossibiIities of a
Speedy Adjournment.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 3O.-The second
session Of the FOrty-eighth Congress will
begin tomorrow at noon. One member
of the Senate and two members of the
House have died during the recess, and
two members of the House have resigned.
1t is probable that the first proceedings in
both branches will be the swearing in of
new members to fill the vacancies thus
created. If this is accompanied by the
customary announcements of deaths the
TWO Houses will probably adjourn at
once as mark of respect to the memory
OF the deceased. The precedents in such
cases, however, give reason for the be-
lief that no formal announcements of the
deaths will be made tomorrow, or if they
are made they will follow the reading of
the Presidents message. In this case
there will probably be no unusual delay
In the appointment Of the Joint Com
mlttee to notify the President of the readi-
ness OF the two Houses to receiva his
annual message.
THE APPROPRIATION BILLS.
n SASotSi AuLnDeF OI appropriation bills
are in readiness for the consideration of
the subcommittee of the House Commit
Tee on Appropriations than have been pre-
pared at so early date tor a number of
years. These bills include estimates for
the Indian, army, navy, military academy,
consular and diplomatic, post Office and
District OF Columbia appropriations. The
members of the Appropriations Commit
tee are of the opinion that one or two of
these bills will be ready to report
to the House this week. 1t has
been suggested by number of
representatives that Congress take a re-
cess the middle of the month to give op-
portunity for the members to attend the
opening of the New Orleans Exposition,
and that during this proposed recess the
Appropriation Committee consider ap-
preparation bills so as to have most of
them ready to report to the House upon
the reassembling Of Congress after the
HOLIDAYS.

BERLIN, Nov. 30.-The attack of Herr
Berbel, the Socialist leader, in the Reich
stag, Friday, on the military administra.
tiOn of the government, is causing a great
stir in diplomatic circles. Herr Berbel
demanded reduction of the term of mil
itary service and the suppression for a
year of the volontariat. He traced the
cause of the budget deficit to the growing
expenses for armaments, together with
the fact that the country was deprived OF
productive labor by men being forced to
serve in the army. He asserted that IA
times more suicides occurred in the army
than among the civil population. The
Socialist papers publish official statistics
to show that this is true.

sCHURz ON OUR CONGRESS.
Both Branches Declared Necessary an<
Impossible of Abolition.

LONDON, Nov. 30.-Carl Schurz has
written letter to Prof. Bryce upon the
double working chambers of legislation
in America. Mr.. Schurz says that the
popular judgment is right in regarding
the double chamber as necessary and part
of the American political institutions.
Any proposal to abolish these bodies
would find no consideration in the United
States. Americans are justly proud Of
their Senate, which does not represent
any privileged class or any separate in
terests, but is extremely useful as part Of
the American legislative machinery. The
letter from Schurz on this topic arose
from reference by Prof. Bryce asking
him if he considered it advisable for Eng
land to continue the House of Lords as a
legislative body.
