their weekly meeting, yesterday, through Rev.
Philip Monson, formerly Of Cleveland, that eff
forts are being made to defeat. by Roman Catholic
influence, the appointment of General Howard to
succeed General Hancock in command Of the De-
partment of the East and to secure the appoint
ment of a general who would be in sympathy
with the Roman Church.
A reporter called upon number OF clergymen
Of different denominations, to-day for the pur-
pose of ascertaining what, if any, influence a
general located on Governors Island could have
religious matters, either in or out of the army
Clergymen, as rule, ridicued the idea as one of
the most absurd they had ever heard Of A Catholic
clergyman, connected with one of the oldest
churches in the city said: 'This is the queeresu
phase of religious sentiment have heard in a
long time. have lived within a stones throw
of Governors Island ever since General Hancock
assumed command there, and never heard of
him mixing up with religious matters any more
than any other Christian gentleman would. Be-
Sides am at a loss to know what he could do if
he did If General Howard is sure of the APP
pointment unless through Roman Catholic inter
ference he may be assured of success. AS to
whether the War Department is controlled by
Catholics, must confess my ignorance.

JONES's LOVE QUEST.
He VIII Remain in Detroit and Continue to
Urge His Suit.

Washington Special.
The Senators who have returned from Detroit
say that they saw Senator Jones, of Florida, and
that he appears to be in good health and spirits.
He is boarding at the principal hotel, spends
most of his time about the lobby and in the
street, and his face and business in Detroit are
known to almost every child in the city. His
antics are the common topic of conversation, the
people knowing how many bouquets he sends to
Miss Palm how many notes he writes her, and
whether he succeeds in having them delivered or
not. Jones is pointed out to strangers as the
love-sick Senator, and there is question
whether his extraordinary conduct IS an awk-
ward case OF fortune-hunting, or whether his
mind is actually turned by his infatuation. The
woman he processes to adore, the Senators say,
is rather plain person, OF about thirty, with no
conspicuous attractions, mental or physical, and
Unfortunately nervous lest some one love her for
her money and not for her charms
Some Of the Senators urged Jones to return to
Washington, but he said that he would not do
so. He was indignant about the publication of
his affair" but said that he might have expect
ed it from papers that had always been unfriend-
ly. When warned that he would lose the re-
spect of the public if he remained away much
longer, he replied that after ten years of con-
slant and assiduous labor he thought himself en-
titled to few weeks of rest. and preferred to
take it in Detroit instead OF Florida Don Cam
eron, he said. went to Europe during session,
Sharon and Fair were very seldom in their seats,
Jones, of Nevada, was away a great deal, and
Bowen was very often absent for weeks at a
time, and he did not see why he should
be . selected BY - the . Newspapers as
for his absence The distracted Senator did not
mention the name Of his inamorata, nor explain
why he remained in Detroit. The Senators saw
that he looks, acts and talks like himself, and
they do not believe he is crazy. but at the same
time not one of them will attempt to explain how
a man fifty-two years of age can mako q public
scandal of himself in the way he is doing
Senator Vance, who has undertaken the Job of
getting Jones back to Washington, had not
appeared in Detroit when the Senators left,
but went straight through to Ann Arbor, where
he delivered an address to the students of the
university on Washington's birthday. Vance
will stop at Detroit on his return and see what
he can do towards bringing Jones to his senses,
but his Republican associates do not think he
will meet with any great success. Senator
Evarts who promised to 40 to Ann Arbor also,
has postponed his visit until next June.
