PERKINS BAD PREDICAMENT
His Lawyers Have Trouble in Finding
Law for Getting Him out of Jail.
The Prisoner Believed To BE Weakening
List of the Persons Selected as Members
of the Committee of One Hundred.

While Samuel E. Perklns's jail life does not
Iuffie his good temper, as Christmas approaches
he thinks great deal about home. He still
observes a reticent demeanor in regard to what
his lawyers are doing in his behalf Any ques-
tioning tending to draw from him IDEA as to
how long he intends to stay in Jail meets with
failure, but beneath all this apparent nervy pur
pose to keep from testifylng be de-
tected a growing desire to be out of Jail
Perkins expected that some legal action
looking to his release would be taken Thursday
afternoon. This may have affected him some
what yesterday, but not sufficient to make him
throw up his hands and cry quits. He is on the
way TO that ending of the case, If his lawyers
do not make better time than they have done.
He says they have not been to the Jail to see
him, but he is, Of course, kept informed of what
they are doing. Late last evening his brother
in-aw, A. w. Hatch, called on him, aud the
two had close conversation for about ten min
utes.
1t was believed that A. c. Harris one Of the
prisoners attorneys went to Chicago 10 see
Judge Gresham about coming here TO listen to
an argument in habeas corpus proceedings. This
will be the method adopted. but the reason for
delay is assigned to an extreme difficulty in find
ing law and decisions to fit this particular case.
II is understood that many possible citations
Aave been rejected, ard that the further the
attorneys researches go the more complicated
becomes the question.
An opinion was abroad last night that, at an
early day, it will be either habeas corpus trial
or Perkinss surrender. He is not the man to
shoulder the sins of a crowd with long mprison-
ment staring him In the face He has either re-
ceived assurances Of some kind, or has made up
his miad to hedge on the gang, for while he bears
his confinement with eouanimty. there is an ex
preston of certainty that his Jail life will not
continue very long.

FROM NEW YORK.


New YORK, Dec. 13-The trial Of ex-
Alderman McQuade continued In this city
to-day and the defence recalled Charles b.
Alexander, OF Alexander u Green, the
lawyers who settled for 900, alleged dam
age to a Greenwich street grocer, 10 which
would accrue to him on his lease Of high
score In event Of the laying Of the railway
track in Broadway. Alexander acted for the
Broadway surface road and James b. Lyd-
dy, acting as attorney for the grocer de-
manded $4,000 at first, but Alexander testi-
fed that the matter was finally settled for
$4,000.
John w. Jacobus. alderman in 1888 and
Republican candidate for Sheriff year ago,
was called to the stand. In 1884 he had an
Office in City Hail. His door was near the
aldermanic chamber. and he was at his Office
on the morning OF the extraordinary meeting

Ex- President W. C. Andrews, of the Gable

$4,000 or any other sum Of the aldermen

XLIXth CONGRESS- SECOND SESSION
SENATE.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 10.
Mr.. Morrill, presented the credentials of
Senator Edmunds.
Among the bills introduced were the fol-
lowing:
To revise the rates Of paying Of certain
employees in the government printing office.
BY Mr.. Bowen, providing a new basis for
the circulation of national banks.
On motion of Mr.. Hoar, the electoral count
bill, as received from the House, was laid on
the table and ordered printed.
The Senate, at 1880, resumed consideration
of MOrrilPS resolution declaring the promise
Of making proper revision of the tariff at
the present session obviously hopeless and
impracticable, and Mr.. Dawes proceeded TO
address the Senate on that subject. In the
course of bis remarks, Mr.. Dawes criticised
the tariff views Of Secretary Manning as
outlined in his annual report, and his adyOc-
aey Of protection. He declared that man
who would attack home industries and home
labor would strike a a'deadlier blow at the
welfare of the country than could be infliet-
ed In any manner short OF war and treason.
1t was treason itself to the great untiring in
terests and prosperity Of the country on
which its future depended, and by which
alone its stability could be maintained. He
who impaired and weakened these Industries
came very near to him who sapped and mined
the citadel Of nation.
Mr.. Morrill, moved the reference OF his res
Olution TO the committee on finance, but Mr.
Beck desired on opportunity to discuss the

BosToN's MUNICIPAL ELECTION.
Prospect That an Unusually Large
Vote VIII be PoIIed.
The outlook for a Substantial Re-
publican Victory.

Boston, Dec. 13.-As the municipal cleo
tion draws near 1t becomes more and more
apparent that large vote win be thrown to-
morrow, and that the triangular contest win
be fierce one on the mayoralty question. 1t
Is well known and freely admitted that not
for years have the opposing factions put so
much work into campaign as in this This
is especially true Of the Republicans, who
are feeling confident, and who have left no
stone unturned to secure victory for Alder
man Hart. The confidence of the Republi-
cans Is based chiefly upon the assurance that
Hart will receive the entire support of his
party, together with that Of men who in
former years hare been identified with Citi-
zens movements and the county Democracy
Then the supporters of McNeill the Labor
candidate, are drawn largely from the Demo-
cratic party, and the disaffectiOn of 5000 of
these men Will play an important part In aid
ing the Republicans. The Democrats, how
ever, appear confident of re-electing Mayor
O'Brien, and claim that the Republican can
didate Is already beaten. AS an evidence Of
the change that has taken place in favor Of
SoBElen, " M a,y they point to circular just issued
ing Mayor O'Brien for reelection on the
ground that during the first year Of his ad-
mlnistration the tax rate has been reduced
from S17 to S12.S0 per $1,000; that he has re-
uucCu tuc WdLCI IdbcS, ftuuCeu WORKING eX-
penses in the various departments, and has
handled the city's business intelligently.
economically and in the interest of the tax
payers.
The County Democracy are putting In
vigorous WORK for the Republican nominee
under the leadership of Senator-elect Edward
j. jenkins. Its members seem confident of
Harris election, but say no matter what the
result may be the County Democracy has
come to stay and will fulfil its mission Of
war to the machine"
A popular estimate among the Republicans
IS that Hart will receive 23,500 votes;
OBrien, 10000: McNeill, $500.
The Democrats affect to believe that Nc
NeilPs vote Will not exceed 5000 at the out
side, while the Labor men themselves claim
McNeill will poll 5000 votes. The interest
among the laboring classes is very great, and
1t is conceded on all sides that the Labor
vote tomorrow is liable to show unlocked
for strength.
Another surprise is threatened on the
license vote. There has been great activity
among the temperance people, and it is ex-
pected that the mo license" vote tomorrow
will be largely in excess Of that ever polled
before in this city.
For members of the Board of Aldermen,
Common Council and School Board there
will be many split tickets, and the work of
ascertaining the final result tomorrow night
will thereby be greatly augmented

The usual premonitory shot was sent across
the bows OF the Yankee brig as an intima-

There was no alternative; so Captain Staples

men were not 10 be so easily Overawed.
When the privateer had disappeared they
rose against their eapt0rs and were soon
again In possession Of the brig. The rebel
sailors, whose role had thus been rudely re-
yersed, were put ashore on a small island,
and the Emily Fisher spread her sails for
New York. All trouble, however, was not
