IDLE AND EVASIVE.

Senator VanWyck's Opinion of the At
tOrney Generals Reply to a Resolution.
Senator Van Wyck, says Washington
special to the Baltimore Sln, appears to
experience considerable difficulty in get
ting Attorney General Brewster to state
exactly how much compensation the
special attorneys in the star route cases
received from the government for their
services. On three separate occasions
this session Senator Van Wyck has intro
duced resolutions calling for Information
on this subject, but up to the present time
his curiosity has not been satisfied. The
presiding officer of the Senate to-day re-
ceived a communication from the At
tOrney General transmitting an answer to
Senate resolution Of 25th March calling
for his reasons for emitting to furnish GER
tain information requested relative to the
compensation of special attorneys in the
star route cases.
The Attorney General says his clerical
force is so small that he cannot furnish
the information desired unless the public
business is neglected. He further eX-
cuses himself by saying that it will take
several weeks of steady clerical work to
properly answer Senate resolution.
Senator Van Wyck says the reply Of
the Attorney General is idle and evasive.
lie was simply requested TO state now
much compensation was paid to these at
tOrneys, whether there was an agreement
as to how much they should receive, and if
he thought the amounts alleged to have
been paid them was eXOrbitant. He
could have, he said, answered those ques-
tiOns within an hour, with the assistance
OF a messenger, if he had cared to do so.
The fact. is, said the Senator, the details
are scattered over every department, and
oil
and other expenses has been levied upon
TO help pay the expenses of the star-route
trials. His excuse that he has not suffi-
cient clerical force is as weak as water.

MOURNING BY RULE.

The British Legation at Washington
Preparing for Sorrow Over LeOpold's
Death.

CATION Will be stopped now for three
months. Minister West and his daughter
will go into mourning for the departed
Prince for that period. This mark Of re-
spect is required by court etiquette OH the
death Of any member of the royal family.
Miss West yesterday went out
shopping to select her mourn
ing costumes. As a rule she dresses
in black. so it will not be much of a change
to her. Black is very becoming to her.
Miss West has very graceful figure, well
developed by the long walks she takes.
Many OF the young men here have at
tempted to keep up with her for a little
ten-mile iaunt out in the country. but
have been very glad to find an excuse to
withdraw, overcome with fatigue. The
walking gives a bright, fresh color to her
checks. Miss West has a very dark COM
pleXion, inherited from her mother, who
was of Spanish extraction. Her eyes are
large and dark, and her hair is the color
of the ravens wing. She speaks Spanish
almost as well as English. Her face has 4
peculiar romantic beauty that is very at
tractiye. Mr.. Lionel Sackville West is q
very cOurtly person, and is always agree
able. He is about feet tall, has a we'll
rounded figure, suggestive Of good din
ners. He has the regulation English
muttOn-chOp side whiskers, high cheek
bones, prominent nose and forehead, and
clear, piercing gray eyes. He usually
dresses in frOck suits, and has a habit
when he walks out of twirling an eve
glass in his hand. Mr.. West talks freely,
but correspondents who try to interview
him suddenly find the tables turned on
them. Mr.. West becoming the inter-
viewer. He has the true diplomats gift
in using a good many words to say
nothing.

AN OLD MIsER DROWNED.

a Millionaire Who Valued His Wife
Because She Once Saved Him a Dol
Lar.
Elijah Clifford, an eccentric millionaire,
says a New Bedford, Mass, special of the
3lst ult. to the Philadelphia Press, walked
of wharf at Warren at o'clock sun
day morning and died in the icy water.
He was always a miser. Five years ago,
when he was 70, he married a pretty
Young wife. Before their union he
offered TO settle on her $4,000, but re-
fused to pay the lawyers fee of 81 TOR
drawing the papers. She finally copied
her sisters settlement papers. He never
tired OF telling the story, always begin
ming: "I'Ye got the most economical wife
in the world. She saved me a dollar
Once.'
In appearance the old man was per-
feet picture of Mansfield's Baron de
Chevrial, with a thin line of struggling
whiskers beneath the chin. Last summer
he paid $4,000 for a whaler. and spent
s., 600 more in fitting her up. Everybody
expected her to start for the Arctic. Then
he put his sOn-in-law and wife on board,
and ordered them to the South Sea Islands
on n missionary voyage. All his acts, he
said. were in accordance with the Lords
commands.
Mr.. Clifford started for Boston Saturday
to advise Governor Robinson about tenn
perance legislation. His wife begged
Nathan Clifford to go with HIM. The crazy
man led his attendant a wild chase to
Boston and then to Providence, where he
hired a team to go to Fall River. On the
way he escaped and met his fate. His
body has not been found.

TILDEN's LEGATEE.
The Sage of Greystone in Favor of tbs
Senator Elect from Ohio.

The sage of Greystone in Favor of the
SenatOr-Elect from Ohio.
Gen. John B. Gordon, of Georgia. re-
lated to-day, says a New York special OF
last Tuesday to the Philadelphia Press,
his experience at the Democratic Mecca.
to which he made a pilgrimage last week.
After Mr.. Tilden had put in his usual
disclaimer of further personal ambition,
the talk turned on other persons. He
discussed freely with Gen. Gordon the
possible candidates Of the party, Randall,
Bayard, Mcdonald, Morrison, Cleveland,
Flower, Carlisle and others. but as to
their chances Of success in the event of a
nomination was wholly non-cOmmittal.
Finally, Gen. Gordon asked: "Well.
whom can we elect? Payne is the one
we have not canvassed. Can he be
elected"'
Mr.. Tilden replied that he thought
Payne could be elected beyond doubt.
When Gen. Gordon asked for the reasons.
he replied: Il have three reasons which
to me are very cOgent. First, Mr.. Payne
has Invariably been right on every one of
the questions that have divided public
sentiment during the past thirty years.
1t is pretty hard to find such men in the
Democratic party. Secondly, his nomina-
tion will not frighten the business ele-
ment Of the country into another out
pouring of cash to aid the Republicans.
Lastly, he has ability to conduct the can
yass, the wealth necessary to its legiti-
mate eXpenses, and the VigOr to under
take reform after the election. These
three things are hard to find combined in
one man.
This statement from Tilden has revived
interest in Senator Payne's candidacy.
Though he and his son, Col. O. ii. Payne,
have persistently decried the possibility
of his being nominated, and insist that he
would not, under any circumstances, be
candidate, events are rapidly shaping
to the same issue in national politics as
they were when he was put forward for
Senator in Ohio. Lately, Col. Payne has
seen that his father was getting into the
arena, regardless of all they said. The
question Of making a still more positive
and emphatic utterance was discussed
and decided negatively, on the advice Of
eX-COrporatiOn Counsel William c.
Whitney, of this city, Mr.. Payne's SON
ln-law, who pointed out that this was a
year when the people were seeking candi-
dates, and tire more man declined the
more he would be wanted.
This political movement is variouslv
construed, but all opinions agree that
Payne can enter the convention. If he
likes, as Tilden's legatee.

Republicans with Sensitive Backs Flying
From His Wrath.
There is a great deal Of talk here over
the anticipated arrival of ex-senator
Dorsey, says a Washington special of the
3lst ult. to the New York World. He
has been summoned to appear here by the
20th of this month, and already several
who are interested in his proposed dis.
closures have gone West to head him of
and if possible anticipate what he is going
to say. a gentleman who has had access
to Dorsey's letter-boOk in the past says
he has huge memorandum-book Of re,
ceIpts and disbursements during the last
Presidential campaign and "A letter-book
containing a number of interesting eplgt-
les. 1t is understood that Dorsey has
really held back all of his thunder
until the eve Of the campaign with
definite purpose. He viii come to
Washington cunning for three particular
men. First, it is claimed that he will be
able to show enough about Arthur's part
in the money campaign to entirely bowl
him out as candidate. 1t is said that
Dorsey can show that Arthur knew Of the
agreement made in the interest of Stanley
Matthews and that he personally received
100000 Of the subscription fund from c.
j. Huntington, and that he transmitted
JnlS money 10 Indiana. AT any rate Dor
sey's friends say that the agreement will
be so clearly shown up that the impeach.
ment Of Justice Matthews will be war
ranted, and that the scandal viii end the
political fortunes Of all those connected
with it..
Then the Attorney General is another
object Of DOrsey's wrath. He has been
working hard for evidence against him
and thinks he VIII show his connection
with BOsler and how BOsieT secured i'm
munity for his star route friends. Mr..
Springer is very reticent, but he was
never so well satisfied with his inYestiga-
tiOn as at the present time. If there was
not some truth in all this, such earnest
efforts would not be made to head off
Dorsey. Some of the Republican poll
ticians now say that Dorsey VIII never
reach Washington, and that be will be
persuaded to bury the proofs of the ras-
cality of the Republican scOundrels he
has in his possession in the wilGs OF the
West. But Springer is confident that
Dorsey will be here on time and will tell
all he knows. He has already submitted
enough in advance TO make his silence
practically valueless to those interested.

FELT HIS BLOOD TURN COLD.
Thrilling Adventure with Nitro GIycer-
inc Behind a Runaway Team.

scarcely week passes in the oil regions
without the recording of loss of life or
property by nitro-glycerine explosions,
says an Olean special OF the 31st ult. to
the New York World. SO susceptible is
that explosive to the effect of even slight
Jars that the experience with load of the
material which is related by Harvey Nc
Henry. a torpedo shooter in the employ of
the Roberts Company. seems almost in
credible. Wagons are made especially
for carrying nitro-glycerine. McHenry
started for Berger Hollow, in the Bradford
district, with fifty quarts of the eXplo-
siYe in tin cans IN his wagon. The road
through Berger Hollow is one of the worst
in the district. McHenry was driving
carefully along, and while DESCENDING a
very long and steep hin the pole sudden
ly snapped in two, and the wagon ran
against the horses. They immediately
started on run down the hill. McHenrv
says he could feel his blood turn cold.
When he saw that a collision between the
wagon and "a roadside tree was inevitable
he closed his eyes and waited for the ex-
plosiOn, from which there seemed to be no
possible escape. The wagon struck the
tree, but to the surprise and 10Y of the
teamster no explosion followed.
Believing that such unexpected and
unprecedented good fortune could not Dos
slbly continue, McHenry resolved to lump
from the ni;rO-glycerine magazine as it
went flying down the hill. He jumped
and, striking against tree, dislocated one
knee and injured his spine. The wagon
had gone but few feet when, to the hor-
rOr of the helpless teamster. it was over
turned. Still, for some uDaccOuntable
reason, the nitrO-glycerine did not ex-
plOde. The horses fell to the ground, and
IN their efforts to regain and keep on
their feet they dragged the wagon until
it was overturned four times. This Occu-
pied but few moments, but to McHenry.
lying helpless at spot where, if an eX-
plosion occurred, there would not be a
tree left standing nor the fragment of a
rock, and he himself would be torn
to atoms, the time seemed an age of
agony. The horse finally broke loose
from the wagon and ran on That was
the last McHenry remembered until he
was picked up and carried to a house
near by Some men working at a well in
lot 800 yards away had seen the run
away, and knowing the wagon to be a
nitrO-glycerine vehicle they lost no time
IN placing still greater distance between
1t and themselves, as the possibility Of
avoiding an explosion was not for an in
stant expected by them. When the horses
broke loose they went to McHenry's aid
No instance is on record in the oil regions
where nitro-glycerine subjected to so
severe test ever failed to explode. That
none occurred in this case is only ac-
counted for by the fact that the material
had been stored in the wagon with un-
usual care and regard for safety.

PISTOLS AT DRAW POKER.

a General FusiIade in Which the Four
Players Were Mortally Wounded
During a game of poker between James
Rover and Howard Williams on the one
side and William Davis and Charles Mills
on the other in a saloon in Coles Creek
Pa. on the night of the 31st ult, the
stakes grew large with every game. and
at last the betting ran up to $500 a side.
The four men had been drinking heavily,
and were evidently not i'll the best of tenn
per. At length Rover detected Davis in
the act of cheating. but the detection only
brought on wOrdy quarrel. When the
game ended Davis and Mills reached for
the stakes. but the other party also
grabbed for them.
A hght ensued, in which all four drew
revolvers, and the room was quickly
cleared OF the few spectators that had
gathered TO see the game. Williams fired
at Davis, the ball striking him in the
right breast. A general firing ensued and
lasted until all four had emptied their
pistols.
After q few moments OF comparative
quiet the anxious crowd outside pushed
their way through into the room and
found the four lying on the floor. all ap-
parently lifeless. Davis and Williams
were found 70 be fatally wounded. and
this morning their deaths were annOunc-
ed. The other two were also fatally
wounded. The widest excitement pre-
vailed over the shooting, as all the parties
were highly respected and in good cir.

Little Doubt Now as to His Fate-Juh
Reported Still Alive,
WASHINGTON, April 2.-Information
has been received at the headquarters of
the army from the United States Consul
General at MatamOras, concerning the
Apaches in Northern Mexico, which
tends to strengthen the belief that little
Charlie McComas was killed by his cap
tors. From talks with Apache squaWs at
Chihuahua, recently captured by the
Mexicans, there can be but little doubt
of it. Juh is said to be still alive. and,
with about twenty bucks, is not over 100
miles north of Chihuahua. 1t is reported
in that country that if Gen. Crook had
had supplies enough in his Mexican cam
paign to have remained in the mountains
a fortnight longer, Juh and every Apache
in those mountains would have come in.
Gen. Crook was compelled to move soon
on account of the large number of squaws
and children.

contrary to our traditions and disastrous
