RISON A - THIEF.

ment His Personal Attention at the
Proper Tims-rhe Captains Refusal
to Accept Perseverance Stock as %
Gift-Mr. Rankin Makes His Statements
ATLANTA, Ga, Dec. 9.-The bribery in-
vestigating committee held q session this
afternoon. Il. p. Howell testified at some
length as to his knowledge of the alleged
marble lobby and the various publica-
uons in the Constitution. He knew than
Mr.. Harrison was making efforts to get
marble substituted for limestone, but
he knew OF no one else. Mr.. Harrison
had published some articles in
the Constitution for which he
paid, but he did not know OF any other
money spent or of MIR. Fain's and MIR,
Rankin's connection with the matter, ex-
cept through Bisaner's affidavit. He had
no personal knowledge OF either Mr.. Fain
or Mr.. Rankin having anything to do with
IT.. His testimony as to the Eager inter-
view was substantially the same as Mr..
EaRer's, except that the interview was
written in the Constitution office in Mr..
Eager's absence.
EAGER's STORY.
When Mr.. Eager testified he said that,
ne and Mr.. Howell prepared Ii IN his room
at the himball. Mr.. Howell said that
after the Legislature adjourned in 1884
Mr.. Harrison offered him some stock in
the Perseverance Mining Company which
shouldn't cost him cent. He said he
declined IL because ne did not want 10 taka
toe STOCK that way. Mr.. Harrison rose tn
refresh Mr.. HowelPs memory, and asked
II that did not occur last summer. Mr..
Howell replied emphatically no, because
In 1884 Mr.. Grady told him that MIR. Har~
rison had also offered him the stock and
he Mr.. Howell) told Mr.. Grady that he
would have nothing to do with MIR. Har-
rlson as he was d--n thief.
RANKIN's DEFENSE.
Mr. Rankin made lengthy and impress
sive statement denying in toto all tDe
Bisaner charges, and submitted evidence
and an argument to prove their falslty.
Lem Aired, Doorkeeper OF the Senate.
was sworn, and said that he had known
blsaner thirty years, and that he would
not believe him on oath.
AT the conclusion Mr.. Harrison. In a
personal statement referring 20 Mr.. How
elPs attack, said that It was uncailed for.
and the committee owed it to itself to
make Dir. Howell substantiate 1t. At tho
proper time and manner he would give his
own attention to IL. He referred again to-
his conduct in the marble business 10
show that what he had done he had "a
right TO do, and IL was done honorably and
legitimately.
The Railroad Committee held another

YIELDING TO THE INEVITABLE.
Randall and the Radicals Changing
Their Tariff Front.

WASHINGTON, Dec, 9.-Thsre Is good
reason to believe that when MIR. Morrison
moves to 60 into committee of the whole
to consider his tariff bill his motion Will
have the votes OF all the Democrats, In
cludipg the Randall contingent and Of
some Republicans as well. The Randall
Democrats and Republicans alike see
that the time has come for tariff reduc-
tion, and it is now only a question with
them how it shall be done. When Mr..
Morrison's bill shall have been taken
up in committee of the whole, the Randall
Democrats, assisted by the Republicans,
will try to strike out all after the enacting
clause, and insert the Randall tariff bill
or some modification of 1t IN which the
duty on sugar will be taken off. The
prospects of tariff reform never were bet
ter. Secretary Manning's vigorous recon-
mendations have had telling effect.

A Reception to be Held in Their
Honor.

A Reception to be Held in Their
Honor.
VIENNA, Dec. 9.-The Bulgarian dele
gates were received to-day by Count Kali
noky. The audience lasted an hour and
a half. The journalists of Vienna are
arranging to hold a reception In honor OF
the deputation.
ANSWERING THE PORTE.
CoNsTANTINoPLE, Dec. GA majority
OF the powers have replied to the Porte's
circular, asking advice as to the solution
OF the Bulgarian difficulty. The replies
are all either evasive or indefinite. Some
OF the powers ask for further explanation,
and none throw any new light on
the matter. The Earl of Iddesleigh
refers the Porte TO England's views
on the Bulgarian situation previously ex-
pressed. Italy, but little more explicit,
alludes to the alleged difficulty the Bull
garians must experience in accepting
Prince Nicholas, OF MiDgrelia.
1t is now thought the Porte will suggest
the solution OF the difficulty Italy refers
TO.

ter here, has received from Lord Iddes-

slider the Porte's interests.

sioner that bis government will decline to
enter into any arrangement looking TO
Egyptian administration reforms until
day has been fixed for the British TO evac-
nate Egypt.

TITLES OF THE AZTEC LAND AND CAT TILE COMPANY.

A careful reading of the following letter of Messrs. Seligman &Seligman, who rank among the best land law yers in the country, and the recent Act of Congress defining the lands forfeited by the Atlantic & Pacific R. R Co.,, as those 'unimproved' or not built upon by said railroad, will con vince any one that the titles of the Aztec Land and cattle company are perfect to all their lands in Arizona. The chain of title is complete, from the inception of the railroad in 1871, down to the present tune. As will be seen the A. & P. R. Co.,, from whom the Aztec l.. X C. Co. purchased their lands, complied with the law in every respect by filing all necessary docu- ments, having the road properly in spccted and reported upon, and by paying all land office and other fees promptly. The Interior Department has also recommended, without quail. fication, that patents be issued for these lands, which will be done in the near future.

MINOR MATTERS.

The Proposed Forfeiture of Land Grants and
the Effect on Immigration.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Feb 18.-'There is more likel-
hood of the several bills forfeiting railroad land
grants passing Congress now than one might
suppose said a member of the Senate committee
on public lands to your correspondent. Here
tofore it has been regarded matter of course
and form that the committees should report in
favor of these bills, but no seems to have an
ticipated their passage. The House is largely in
favor of the forfeiture of all lands not fairly
earned, and there is an unmistakable majority in
the Senate"
What difference will it make to the countryl"
I asked
1T will give emigration to the West such
an impetus as it has not had for many years.
The Eastern and Central States will belch out
hundreds of thousands of inhabitants into the
new country thrown open, for the lands will be
vauable-the most valuable that have been
open to settlement The development of the
country will improve the times. This is not a
party matter, but is one in which everybody y
should feel keen interest"
