OTTAWA, April 9.-There is considerable
excitement in political circles over the an
nouncemont that Sir Hector Langerin, min
lister of public works, has received ST.
600 testimonial subscribed by contractors
having business with the department. The
total subscriptions amounted to 100000.
while the cash actually paid amounted only
to $17, 900. 1t is said all this money came
from contractors who had claims on which
Sir Hector was to adjudicate or who sought
to obtain contracts which Sir Hector must
award. 1t is stated that contractor named
Goodwin had a claim of $4,000 which for
years the government refused to recognize
He subscribed 81, 900 it is stated and over
$5, 600 was afterwards awarded him. n. }.
Bsemer had claim for Sic, 200 for extra
work He it is said subscribed
81, 900 and was awarded $4,000.
Oharlebers, who was denounced in the
House of Commons by Sir John Mcdonald
and Sir Charles Upper as unworthy and I'M
fit to receive any public contract, subscribed
largely and received the contract for the new
department. buildings. There are many sim
liar cases in which rule the sums ran
higher. The scandal has fallen like thun-
derbolt in the ministerial camp. It is stated
that Sir John Mcdonald demonstrated with
Sir Hector and warned him that he would
get into a scrape if he accepted the money.

Harmony an the P&rty-RIvaI Leaders
Shake Hands ia the Republican Com
ventfOms
SEDAL1A, April 9.-The Opera House wAS
crowded to-day at the Republican State con
vention. The interest in the FilIey-Van
Horne contest was intense. Speeches were
made by Senator Henderson and others in
favor of harmony in Missouri and Arthur in
the White House. Chauncy I. Filley
took the platform amid tremendous
cheering and made a rousing speech
during which he declared that he did not
want to be chairman of the State committee,
but wanted only harmony. In conclusion
he shook hands with General Henderson and
Van Horne while the whole opera house
wildly applsuded. Oden Gribar was appoint
ed permanent chairman. The committee on
credentials strengthened the fading hopes of
the FiIleyites by deciding that no delegate
should vote proxy save from his own county,
thus throwing out some of the strongest of
Van Horne's supporters,

Er. Vess replied to the u.s. ssence Of Ar.
Chandler. 'T say o65s for 81, he salu,
that my opinion of the Secretary Of thu
Navy is that while he is q man of
great ability, of unquestioned public
courage, I do believe his personal feelings
and his partisan bias would lead him to do
things in & public eapasity which do not
think would be warranted by the interests Of
the country" (Sensation).
docs the Senator mean to suggest, said
Nr. Hale, "that the Secretary has done any
thing OF that kind p
ST could NOT" answered Mr.. Vest, ''put
my finger upon one single act of his admin
iitratien which would even subject him
80 criticism, but mean to say
that my opinion is simply based
upon his antecedents as public man. If
my statement is challenged 1 can give ex-
plicit reasons for utter1ng it.n Mr.. Vest then
went on to criticise Mr.. Reach, whom he
classed as the worst enemy of our merchant
nasrine and navy. A little badinage followed
as to what the Democratic party might do
were it In power and what they had done in
times past.
Mr.. Edmunds said that the Democrats
would never get another chance.
Mr.. Vest retorted that probably such re-
suit would accord with the feelings of the
Vermont Senator.
Mr. Beck attacked the administration of
the Navy department during the past twenty
years, which he said had been radically mis-
governed, and this he could prove by official
documents. The steel cruisers were simply
for junketing purposes and the securing of
prize money. Those ships would simply stir
up strife and then of necessity keep clear Of
great guns. They were beginning at the
wrong end of the line. I'VE WILL ex-
claimed Mr.. Beck, 'tnever have Ameri-
can sailors or nucleus of navy
il we simply build ships that can
not defend our coasts, but we can
build mp both by building up a mer-
chant marine which can on emergency be
converted into as good cruisers as they are
now proposed and still be useful for the pur-
poses of commerce"
At 8 O'Clock the Senate went into executive
session and soon after adjourned.
The executive session was principally de.
voted to further consideration of the propo-
sition to recognize the African international
association as controlling power in the val
ley of the Congo, but no conclusion was
reached.
