MINOR MATTERS.

MIR. Romeis To Be Ousted and His Seat Given
to Frank Hurd.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, March Although it is pretty
generally conceded that the majority of the
House Of Representatives is bent on seating
Hurd, of Toledo. who is contesting Mr.. Romeisis
seat, it is probable that he will not do so without
considerable trouble. Mr.. Hurd has made no
case at ali. but Morrison and other free traders
want him on the floor when the tariff bill comes
up, to help along the debate. Several members
of the committee on elections are not at all salts
fed with the arguments made in the case, and
although they have oil been submitted, have
asked that arguments be made again, and on
next Tuesday. for the benefit of the dissatisfied
and members who were absent when the case
was argued, several days ago, re-argument will
be had. Some Republicans say the majority will
not dare to seat Hurd. but they are undoubtedly
mistaken. 1t is a party decree that he shall be
seated.

outrage on free elections and an honest count.
This aroused the aged Salisbury, of Delaware.
He took up the gauntlet. defending the Demo
Gratis against the implications conveyed, and try
ing to show that the Republicans are not i'm
maculate in that regard. This sally from Sauls-
bury, who never sees any harm in a Democrat,
nor good in a Republican aroused Senator Frye.
who up TO that time had taken no part. He
addressed himself to Salisbury. and while
not chary in his remarks about Pillsbury
and Chase, he took the occasion to speak his
mind about the still greater frauds in the cleo
tons in the South. which are condoned and de-
Tended by the Democrats. At times the tones of
his voice could be heard outside the closed doors.
He did not leave the Garceion affair without
showing how groundless were the boasts Of
Pillsbury that he would not be found voting
against confirmation. After he finished nothing
more remained to be said, as it was not thought
necessary by the Republicans to make the slight
est reference to Pillsbury's 'copperheadn record.
When the vote was taken the response was, as a
New England Senator termed it, soverwhelm
ing" and the Democrats who voted did 1t in a
half hearted way. They were satisfied that the
case had been fairly stated, and they saw that it
was the best policy not to make a prolonged
fight The question now is whether the Presi-
dent will nominate their successors right away
or allow them to hang on until the end of the
session. A number of Democratic Senators
will urge him to take the former course and not
invite criticism by keeping Chase and Pills
bury in.

Objections to Tariff Revision.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 4-The iron and steel in
dustries of the country were discussed before the
ways and means committee today by e delega-
ton OF the American Iron and Steel Association.
Among the many gentlemen present were B. F.
Jones, chairman Of the delegation and president
of the American Iron and Steel Association;
Joseph Wharton, Of Philadelphia. representing
the steel rail industry; Mr.. Ridgely. of Spring
field. ILL.,, open hearth steel; James Emerson, Of
Beaver Falls, Pa, steel consumers; Henry
Whitley. of Philadelphia, sheetiron; T. H wells,
of You ngstown, O., cotton ties and hoop iron.
President Jones opened the proceedings with a
brief address, protesting against the present agi-
tation of the tariff question, which. the associa-
ton was assured, would be injurious to the bust
ness interests of the country.
Mr.. George Cope, secretary of the association,
read a paper on 1.-THE Question of Tariff Revis-
ion." The paper recites the objections of the
American Iron and Steel Association to House bill
No. 5557. 1t states that the association does not
despair of convincing the committee thatthe pres
emit tariff is not in need of general revision, and
that such revision would seriously injure the in
dustries of the country if it should become a
law.

G.. Thomas, member from Muhlenberg county,
in arguing on a motion to hold an evening ses-

WASHINGTON, March 4-Senator Blair, it is
said, is growing nervous over the delay of his
educational bill It must be considered by a
House committee yet, after it finally leaves the
Senate, before it comes up in the former body
for discussion. Measures demanding immedi-
Rte attention are piling up so rapidly in both
branches of Congress that this bill has a very
wretched outlook. Should the House pass the
bill it will undoubtedly be with amendments, be-
cause there is a very wide latitude and immense
.enius in that big crowd of men. This will ne

The Action of the Senate in Defeating These
~Scandalous Nominations.
Special to Boston Advertiser.
The nominations of Chase and Pillsbury were
rejected this afternoon. The scanty fight made
by the Democrats for them surprised the Repub-
leans. They expected a prolonged struggle, but
the Democrats acqaiesced very gracefully in the
result. They did not even ask for a yea and nay
vote. The reason assigned this evening is that
three or four Of them would, in that case, have
gone on record in favor Of rejection. Rather
than allow this. the Democratic managers were
content to have a simple viva voce vote and let it
stop there. The Republicans were also we'll
pleased, for some of them had feared that Plumb
and Riddleberger might fail. them. They were
the only two of whom any suspicion was felt, and
that may have been unjust The scene in secret
session was not particularly exciting. Hale

against both Pillsbury and Chase. He

The Agreeable Situation in the Cabinet

The Agreeable Situation in the Cabinet.
Washington Special.
The joke Of to-day is that Attorney general
Garland has notified the President that he does
not like to remain in the Cabinet with Mr.. Whit
ney on account Of the latter gentleman's report
ed connection with the New York surface road
disclosures. This is intended as an Offset to the
well known desire of Secretaries Whitney and
Manning to have Mr.. Garland leave the Cabinet
because of the telephone exposures. There is no
longer any doubt that the two have been some
what urgent on that point, and that Secretary
Lamar had intimated that the same reasons that
would call for Garland's resignation would cause
him to offer his. This is about the situation,
though nothing formal has been said in the Cab
met meeting, and the President desires that no
sign Of it appear.

Death of Senator Hawley's Wife.

Washington Special
The wife Of Senator Hawley died tonight at
$50 o'clock, of pneumonia. Mrs. Hawley was a
most estimable person, ffty-four years of age,
who moved much in society. and was generally
liked for her plainness of manner and excellent
sense. She was a Miss Foote, of Hartford, and
served for some time during the war as a hos
pital nurse, she having volunteered for this
service when the fortunes of war led to the or
ganization of relief associations of this kind in
the North. Mrs. Hawley's remains will be en-
balmed, and on Friday the Senator will take
his dead wife to Hartford for the funeral
services.

BALTIMORE, March 4-Calculations on tho
approaching comet discovered by Fabrey, have
been made by students of the Johns Hopkins
University in this city. They find that it will
reach its greatest briiliancy on May 2, when it
will probably be a very conspicuous object in
the western sky after sunset. Their results,
do not, however, confirm the early conclusions
OF the German astronomers. which were based
on only eighteen days of observation, and that
the comet will be visible all night. The comet
will set two or three hours after the sun during
the frat half Of May, and will then rapidly dis
appear.
