GEN. LOGAN'S SUCCESSOR.
An Interview With Payson Upon the Illi-

An Interview With Payson Upon the Illi-
nOis Senatorshfp.
WASHINGTON, December 3O.-Who will
be LOgan's successor il now the topic of
speculation among the political quidnuncs
of y Newspaper Row and the hotels. Your
correspondent met Representative Payson,
OF Illinois, this morning coming out of the
National Hotel, land said: "Who will sue
ceed Logan
"Well, really would hardly flip cop
per rs to the relative chances OF each of the
gentlemen named. There is Oglesby, our
Governor, suppose he will have the best
chance; but then he has bOught himself Il
beautiful rural residence with view OF
retiring when his term as Governor ex-
pires, which will be in two years
rs the Governor Old?'
''lTe is seventy"
Then suppose the glitter aud glare of
national craftsmanship will not attract
him, as be has shOne as luminary in the
Senate bcfOre:'
"Well, probably not. Still he may be
a candidate, and as | said, he will be the
leading candidate if he is.
"Will Farwel'S antagonism TO Logan
heretofore, handicap him in his ace?"
Well it might. Still Mr. Farweli is
very rich do not mean by that that he
could, or would use money. But you
know the effect of social position in these
Matters
ITO be sure fine quarters, spacious recep-
tion rooms, fine liquor, fragrant cigars and
the whoop-hurrah of Chicago brass band
would have its effect on some of the mem
bers from way back. y
''What about Cannon
well, Cannon has friends, and pre-
sume especially in his district they would
be strong for him."
Your own name has been trifed with in
this respect2'
"Yes, some of my over-zealous friends
are talking that way, but | am sleeping
sOundly.n
A very prominent official here from Illi-
nois says that he regards Oglesby as the
probable nominee, and says that Payson is
strong and very popular with his party.
He thinks Ex-Governor Palmer will re-
ceive the complimentary Democratic vote,
although that has no political significance.

THE ANARCHISTS MAD.
P0WDERLY'S INTERFERENCE IN LOCAL
MATTERS RESENTED
By Chicago SociaIisS-The Revolt Against P0wderly
in New YOrk-The Movement in Favor Of ia
Special Meeting Of the General Assem-
bly-Talk Of New Order.

CHICAGO, December 30.-A morning
paper says that movement in opposition
to the Powderly mandate in reference to
the Anarchist fund and the United Labor
party has been started by the Socialists.
1t is in the form of letter to Mr.. Powder
ly from an outside standpoint, to be signed
by 100 of the leading Socialistic Knights
in the city, protesting against what they
claim to be his arbitrary interference with
the rights of the local assemblies.
The letter, which it is stated will be
dispatched this week, sets forth the amount
of assessment which each member pays,
the rate which is levied for the support OF
the district, State and General Assemblies,
and claims that after all these obligations
are discharged and the local expenses are
paid each assembly should be at liberty to
devote any surplus which it way have al
the end Of any quarter for the promotion
of any subject which it may see fit.
1t further characterizes Mr.. Powderly':
recent order rs having been issued by him
at the request OF small clique in Chicago,
who do not represent the majority of the
Knights and who wish to govern by the
use of the chief executives whip. 1t warns
him against being led away by ''old fogies'
in the labor movement, vigorously protests
against the action he has taken, explain:
that his action will be interpreted rs having
been taken in the interests of capital and
the old political parties, asks for the ap
pointment of a committee 10 investigate
labor matters in the city, and demands &
revocation of the order issued. 1t also ex
plains that unless the latter is done his au
thority in this city in a majority of tht
local assemblies will not be recognized.

FOTHERINGHAM'S ART.
ONE OF THE THIEVES SAYS THE MESSEN-
GERWAS A WILLING VICTIM
And Knew ALI About the Plan to Rob the Express
Oa-Mrs. WitOck Says Her Son Stole the
Money TO Pay Mortgage
On Her House.

ST. LOUIS, December 30.-A special from
Leavenworth, KS, says: Mrs. Witrock,
the mother of Jim Cummings y was seen
at her residence again last night. She
was very unwilling to say anything about
the arrest of her son, but was anxious that
the public should know the real cause ofthe
robbery. She said that she had wondered
from the first what prompted the robbery,
and the question she asked her son after he
had been brought to his home by the detec-
tive was: "Why did yOu take the money
She says he answered that he was great
lv worried because the time was growing
so short when the mortgage on her home
to secure S1,70O that she had borrowed
and loaned to HIM would come due, and
he was not making money enough out oil
his business to pay her. So, instead of al
lowing the homestead to go, he made up
his mind to make desperate effort to save
it, and finally decided upon the plan OF
robbing the express car.
Specials from LeavenwOrth and Kansas
CITY state that Oscar Cook has made con-
fession in which he stated that Fotherlng-
ham, the express messenger, WHO is now IN
Jail charged with completely in the robbery,
knew all about the plan to rob his car,
and was willing victim to the attack OF
the robbers. 1t is.said that he was prom
ised $40, 900 of the amount stolen as his
share of the booty. and that sum was part
of the money which Fred Witrock sent to
his mother for safe-keeping.
4 special from Kansas City states that II
WAS the intention of the cOnspirators to rob
the car on the night Of October %, and
that the first Jim Cummings letter was
written before that time and dated on that
day. On that night, however, there was
not enough money in the car to pay the
robbers for their trouble and their plans
were not finally carried out until the 2oth.
Should these statements be borne out by
the facts in the case, Frotheringham will
doubtless accompany his fellow conspira'
tors to the pSnitentiary.

Drivers Strike Not Sanctioned.
PHILADELPHIA, December 80. - The
two thousand men employed by the brew
rin operated by the sixty-five firms be-
longing to the Philadelphia Lager Beer
Brewers Association struck this morning
in accordance with a resolution passed at a
largely attended meeting of the employees
last night. The strike is the result of the
circulars posted up in the breweries giving
notice Of q reduction Of wages to take ef-
feet Monday.
This afternoon Messrs. Wright and
Hayes, OF the Executive Board of District
Assembly No. /, called on the secretary OF
the Brewers Association and assured him
that the strike, as far as the beer wagon
drivers were concerned, was illegal and
without the authority Of the Executive
Board or the District Assembly. II was
further stated that if the wagon drivers
refused to return to work within given
time they would be-seeycnded as an as
sembly of the knights OF Labor and their
from the district also assured the secretary
that they would supply him with all the
experienced wagon drivers that might be
needed at twenty hours notice On
behalf of the Association this offer was &C
cepted by the secretary. No formal meet
ings of the brewers have been held, but
it has been agreed that the strikers who
do not return to work by one o'clock to-
morrow afternoon will not be taken back
under any circumstances. The wages oI
the drivers were not affected i'll the list re.

NEW YORK, December 30.-The Herald
to-day says: The Socialists will never
more import professional agitatOr from

cent experience with DR.. Edward Aveling
