THE DIFFERENCE IN TnE CASES.
LANDAULET WILLIAMS EX-
AMPLE.
1t is Followed Quite Extensively in


1t is Followed Quite Extensively In
Washington.
The carriage feature of the government
dates back over a very long period. In
the days when Washington was an I'M
paved city, when it had no street cars, it
was proper enough that the Cabinet OFF,
GERS should have public conveyance to
carry them over the long distances of the
scattered city for the transaction of pub
lie business. But the necessity for these
public cOnYeyances has long ago passed
away. To-day every Cabinet officer has
an elegant carriage, with pair of horses
and cOachman, all paid tor out of the
public treasury. These cOachmen are paid
$500 year, and are borne upon the rolls
as messengers. The Post Office De-
partment has two carriages for it's chief.
These carriages are not only used
for public business, but are constantly
employed by the wives of the Cabinet Off
cials to assist them in the performance Of
their social duties, This innovation of
making over the plain department ambu-
lances into fashionable carriages, with
llVeried cOachmen, was inaugurated in
the time of Attorney General Williams.
He was covered with scandal at the time
of his purchase Of a landaulet out OF the
department funds. He was called then,
and is still called, 'Landaulet Williams
HIS purchase gave rise to a spirited de-
bate in the House, in which the witty
Nesmith, of Oregon, pictured Williams,
when he was in Oregon, as only too well
satisfied to ride upon mule, "that pa
tlent animal which has no pride of ances-
try and no hope of pOsterity."
Williams example has been followed,
however, by all of the Cabinet officers,
and this, too, without provoking any par
tic2lar comment. Their example has
been followed by the lesser officials of the
government. The Chief of the Bureau of
Engraving and Printing has a carriage,
and Mrs. Chief of the Bureau of Engrav-
ing and Printing uses it as if she were
Mrs. Cabinet Minister. DIR. LOring, the
Commissioner of Agriculture, has a
coupe for the use of himself and family
purchased out of money which should
have been devoted to seeds and sorghum
experiments. The Public Printer has
carriage at public expense. Indeed,
you can hardly name the head of any
bureau who has not horse and
carriage for the use of himself and family,
which is paid for by the government.
These drivers, who are paid by the gov
ernment as messengers, are also required
IN many instances to perform private SER
vices as domestic servants in the families
OF the horse aristocracy of official life.
These carriages have been smuggled into
the appropriation bills of Congress in a
very ingenious way. They are ALWAYS
charged up as wagons employed in the
public service. The intimatiOn is that
theY are express wagons absolutely neces-
sary for the interchange of small freight
business between the departments.

OUR CONGO DELEGATES.
THE NATURE OF THEIR PAR
TICIPATION EXPLAINED.

Executive Action Alleged to Have Been
Based on the Wishes OF Congress as
Expressed In the Past-The COnclu-
siOns of the Conference Not Binding
on the Governments
WASHINGTON, Jan. 29.-President
Arthur to-day sent to the House OF Repre-
sentatives report prepared by the Sec
retary OF State in reply to a resolution
calling for information in regard to the
participation OF this country in the Congo
Conference. The Secretary saws that as
the conference has not completed it work
the present report is only preliminary.
Secretary Frelinghuysen says that the
executive has acted pursuant TO express
sIons OF Congress IN the past for the re-
cOgnitiOn OF the flag of the International
Association, and tor the appointment of a
commercial agent for the Congo basin.
The instructions to Minister Kasson
were brief and precise as to the
exclusion OF questions Of terri
Sanford simply accredited him as an ass
soclate delegate without specific instruc-
lions, and Mr.. Stanley had no credentials
other than an introduction TO the confer
ence by Minister kasson, Messrs. Stan
ley and Sanford's position is merely that
of experts that have no vote or voice In
the deliberations. The Secretary says
that up to the date of the last dispatches
Fl ON the conference the Department of
state has seen no reason 10 feel otherwise
than satisfied with the discretion, pru-
dence and ability with which Mr.. KassOn
has discharged his duty. In the course
OF the report, Mr.. Frelinghuysen says:
II has been said that the principles which
the conference Is DISCUSSING with respect to
Africa are AT variance with those which the
United states have ever maintained in re-
soect to the American Continent.
THE DIFFERENCE IN THE CASES,
ze cases are diametrically converse. The
sSated doctrine put forth by Monroe was
1y that Che time mad passed for obtaining
~ fOOthOlus on the American Continent
since the whole of 1t was subject to recog-
nized sovereignties whose rights of possess
sion must be maintained and respected. In
1929 not foot of land remained subject to
alienation at VIII by aboriginal tribes OF
America. In 1881 the whole OF the heart of
Africa remained to be opened up to occupan-
cy and the control of civilization. IL will
thus be seen that this government, in taking
part IN the Congo Conference of Berlin,
has not departed from its traditional
policy. On the contrary, il has followed
good precedents. That its rights have

COTTON MERCHANTs FAIL,
Disestablishment impossible.

BIRMINGHAM, Jan. 29.-John Bright
addressed a crowded meeting at the Town
Hall here this evening. He said that the
question of disestablishment would not
be an opportune one in the present cen
tury. The speaker ridiculed the idea of
a colonial confederation without a sys-
tenn of free trade, and asserted that the
next Parliament would probably grant
free trade in the land. Mr.. Chamberlain,
President of the Board of Trade, also
spoke. He called upon Mr.. Parnell to
separate himself from the dynamiters-
not by silence but by speech. This senti-
ment was received with prolonged cheers

CLEVELAND IN WASHINGTON.
A Conjecture to Where He will Make
His Temporary HOme-A Famous Ca
terer,

A Conjecture as to Where He will Make
His Temporary HOme-A Famous Ca
terer.
ALBANY, Jan. 27.-NOt only is it a
matter of public interest to know whether
Presldent-elect Cleveland will stop at the
Fifth Avenue or the Hoffman House
during his sojourn in New York, but it is
question of moment as well to the land
lords of Washington city to know where
he will take up his temporary abode when
he goes on to be inaugurated. Mr.. Cleve-
land likes quietude and freedom from dis
play. There is one hotel in Washington
city where he would be at home. and
where he would find comfort combined
with comparative privacy. 1t is Wormley's
hOtel-One of the best regulated in the
city. James WOrmley, the founder of the
hotel, was colored man, originally a
cook. BY close attention to his business
and the excellence of his cuisine he at
tracted to his house the best of hotel pat
rOns. Mr.. WOrmley was a Democrat in
politics, though he took no active part
beyond giving the people of his race good
advice. He had the friendship and cOun-
sci of many of the leading Democrats of
the country. He died less than wear
ago, and his house is now kept by his
sons, who have inherited his taste for
affairs and who have excellent capacity
for management.
Some time ago the elder Wormley built
a balcony along the front of his hotel.
When asked why he made this architec-
tural addition he said: sit is from this
balcony that l expect to see the next
Democratic President address the people
OF Washington when he comes here to be
inaugurated." Mr.. Wormley did not live
to see the Democratic President-eIect en-
ter Washington, but the balcony that he
erected is there and the country would
doubtless be pleased to see Mr.. Cleveland
standing on it and addressing his friends.
The colOred people were always proud of
the late Mr. Wormley. They regarded
him as a splendid representative of the
capacity, shrewdness and application of
their race. IT Mr.. Cleveland should take
up his abode in the hotel founded by him,
and which stands as a monument to his
enterprise, they would certainly appre-
ciate the compliment,

WASHINGTON, Jan. 26.-Congressman
p. V. Deuster, of Milwaukee, Wis, was
swindled out of $3.50 this morning in a
manner that is a source of great chagrin
and modification to him. A good looking
lady called upon him at the House this
morning and said she was a constituent
of his and was temporarily out of money.
She mentioned the names of several of
Mr.. Deuster's friends in Milwaukee who
were also friends OF hers, she said. She
asked for the loan of $3.50 to enable her
to get home. Mr.. Deuster. to identity
her as a person who was deserving
of aid and recognition, asked her to
telegraph to one of his friends in Milwau
kee to send him a dispatch saying she
was all right and he would let her have
the money. She went away, and after
about an hour she returned with what
purported to be dispatch from the Mil
waukee friend OF Deuster's. 1t was writ
ten upon one of the regular receiving
blanks of the Western Union. 1t was di-
rected to the lady instead of to Deuster.

CALDWELL, KANSAS, Jan. 29.-Latest
advices from the seat of operations in
Oklahoma confirm the surrender of Capt.
Couch and party at Saltwater camp.
Couriers arriving yesterday state that
after number of conferences between
Gen. Hatch and Capt. Couch, the latter
made no concessions on his threat at the
start to fight it out. The night previous
to the surrender Gen. Hatch moved his
force so as to partially invest the camp of
the boomers. This was done quietly and
without hostile demonstration.
The next morning a line of blue coats
was observed by settlers in close proxim-
ity, and about O'Clock a formal and
peremptory demand was made upon
Capt. Couch and his party to surrender.
Every one of Gen. Hatch's soldiers was
at his post, fully armed, ready for any
command TO be given. The boomers
taking in the surroundings at a glance.
saw that discretion was the better part Of
yalor, and quietly yielded to the inevita-
bic. After an understanding was had,
and the surrender acknowledged, the
troops and boomers met per-
were at once begun for the march to the
Kansas line. If the weather proves less
stormy than it was for several days before
the surrender, every effort will be made
to make the expeditions march out of the
Territory in order to take advantage Of
the ice bridges over Salt Fork, some
80 miles south of the Kansas
line. The defeated colonists feel
very bitter over the situation,
though there is no ill-feeling towards the
soldiers. They express great snimosity
towards the administration, saying that
they are determined to make lOdgment
on the disputed ground, anG intimate
that they will try the temper of the in
coming administration with some hope
as to the outcome. Throughout Southern
Kansas there appears to be an idea preva-
lent among the sympathizers of the
boomers that Capt. Couch submitted as a
plan to give time till the spring opens.

purpose Of considering the river and har-

the point of order that the revenue and
general appropriation bills must be taken
up in the order in which they appeared on

point.
The first of this class of bills was one
amending the act to prevent the impOr-
tation of adulterated teas. On an objec-
tiOn raised by Mr.. Willis its considera-
ton was postponed, and a similar fate
awaited the bill to abolish discriminating
duty on works of art.
The next bill on the calendar was the
bill to carry into effect the treaty with

nays declined to instruct the committee
to consider this bill, which was the one
Mr.. Hewitt wished considered, and then
