LITTLE Rock, Ark, Jan. 19.-The contest
for the United States senatorship to succeed
]. David Walker, whose term expires March
4, is at fever heat. Messrs. Fishback, Mena-
field and Duval are practically out of the race,
and the fight is between Congressman James
K. Jones, Poindexter Dunn and ex-Gov.
Joseph Fl. Berry, who have secured rooms at
the Capital hotel, where they are receiving
their friends. The arrival to-day of infu-
ential politicians from different parts of the
state to champion the cause of their candi-
dates has somewhat changed the supposed
complexion Of the first ballot, and
q prediction SIS TO the result
is not ventured. Ex-State Land
Com mmissiouer Campbell and other promi-
nent men from Northeast Arkansas have
established headquarters at the principal
hotels TO advance the interests of Dunn.
John A. Williams, leading Republican,
and J. P. Jones, leading colored man from
the Second district, are here for the purpose
of manipulating the Republican and colored
vote. /, is reported that both will support
Berry. The twenty members of the legisa-
ture belonging to the order of the Brothe re-
Of Freedom are holding secret caucus to-
night. 1t is intimated that il they agree and
unite Jones will receive their votes. Bal
loting commences at the morning session
tomorrow. Sixty votes are q majority.

DAKOTA LAWMAKING.
The Capital Removal Bill Made the

respondent.

BISMARCK, Dak., Jan. 19-The capital re-
moval bill came up in the house on motion
to engross. Mr. McCombes moved to post
pone the consideration two weeks. Mr..
johnson moved to amend by making the
special order for Wednesday at 12 O'Clock.
Carried, ayes 80, noes 10.
Those interested in the capital removal ap-
pear confident that they can pass the removal
bill at any time desired, while those opposed
are equally confident the measure will not
become law, and are prepared to delay, il
not defeat it, oy ilibustering, and seem to
rely upon the governor, who is said ts believe
the capitol removal scheme will seriously in
that the removal matter will not be rushed
and that the work of the session will be COM
pleted without serious embarrassment, even
if the bill is finally passed. Bismarck pro-
poses to issue bonds to purchase lots for
county purposes, sufficient to pas the unpaid
obligations in connection with the capitol
construction, and thus remove one cause for
opposition to the capital location.
Mr.. Williams presented a memorial to the
house for the division OF Dakota, which was
accompanied by petition from 800 citizens
of Bismarck, asking its passage.
THE COUNCIL

The Social C,ntrs.

Washington Letter to Philadelphia Press.
1t IS quietly said that Mrs. Berry's house
will be lore than ever a social centre in the
incoming administration. Her parlors were
Illuminated on the evening of the Democra-
tic jubilee, and her Albany antecedents and
popularity make this inimation not i'm proba-
bic. The groups Of distinguished men in her
drawing room last evening seemed fore
shadowing Of this importance. Gen. sheri-
dan, the Russian, French and Spanish min
listers, Lawyer Merrick and Mr.. Barrett, chief
OF arrangements for the inaugural pageant
were few Of the number specially observed
among the larger circle of conventional So
ciety men. Nine. De Struye, the leading
feminine force in diplomatic circles, accom- i
panied her husband, wearing silver-gray
brocade, relieved with rich laces. She has
always an interested circle about her and Is
one Of the strongest and finest characters
that have ever adorned diplomatic life at our
capital. A quartet Of Albany ladies who are
spoken Of as likely 10 be much at Washing
ton in the near future are Mrs. Ersstus Corn
ing, Mrs. Robert Lennox Banks, formerly
the widow Of Mr.. Ed Corning; Mrs. j. Y. L.
Pruyn and Miss Van Vechten.

Indiana.

INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. 19.-The Democratic
members Of the legislature held caucus to-
night to nominate a candidate for United
States senator. Hon. Daniel W. Voorhees,
was nominated By acclamation and a rising
vote. The following resolution was intro
duced by Senator Magee and adopted In a
similar manner:
RsSolsed. That the Democratic members of
the general Assem- by of Indiana unanimously
represent TO President elect Cleveland that
the national esteem in which Hon. Jos. E.
Mcdonald is held Is an esteem founded upon
| character and ability and his political ser
vices indicate him as proper and safe coun-
| sellor to the chief executive OF the nation.
And they assure the president elect that the
selection Of Mr.. Mcdonald as one of his con-
stitutional advisers would be exceedingly
gratifying, not only to the Democracy of In
diana, but TO the people of the state gener-
ally.
The Republican members of the general
assembly held caucus tonight and decided
to cast their votes for ex-Gov. A. G. Porter
for United States senator The vote will be
purely complimentary, as the Democrats
have large majority on joint ballot.

San FRANCISCO, Jan. 19.-There is no
change in the senatorial prospects at Sscra-
mento. The Republicans hold their first
caucus tomorrow evening. No one believes
it will result In choice. There is only one
point on which all seem agreed. That is
that, after the preliminary formalities of
placing Sargent, Perkins and Others in caucus
nomination, the Republicans will formally
tender the nomination to Stanford. Should
the latter not receive the nomination, the
surprise both in and out of the legislature
will be greater than if he does. The vote on
joint ballot takes place January %.

during and after the war. When Grant be-
came president, Webster was assigned, with
Horace Porter and Babcock, to duty at the
White House. He didn't like the duties OF
clerk at the executive mansion, and resigned
from the army to take the Office Of register OF
wills here, which he supposed was life Of
dee. It did not happen to
be, and Garfield moved him out
to make a place for his friend, H..
j. Ramsdell. Meanwhile Webster was taken
care of as chief clerk Of the treasury. He
and Secretary Folger did not get on well,
and the result was that Webster found 1t
more comfortable to leave the treasury than
to stay in IT and he resigned Irearly year
ago. Now he wants to get back into the
army.
