Special TO the Globe
WASHINGTON. Jan. 10.-There are GER
tain nominations by the president that the
Republican senators are determined to
fight, and they have been collecting ammu-
milton for their attacks. These nominations
are mostly of officials in Southern states.
The president has appointed several per
sons who are described by utraRepubli-
cans as unrepentant rebels. Southern Re-
publicans' have been busy collecting evil
dences of their impertinence and their re-
bellious frames of mind and formulating
them in aftidavits, and these have been sent
to senators whose PECULIAR duty it is to
stand by the old flag and carry on the good
work of suppressing secession, and the Re-
publican senators are going to make treason
Odious by antagonizing their nominations.
Some Of these gentlemen are alleged to
have recently expressed profound contempt
for the United States and a warm and abiG-
ing affection for the lost cause, and reports
of speeches, bits Of conversation and artl-
cles from newspapers have been
COLLECTED AND TRANSMITTED
to Washington for use in executive sessions
of the senate Some of the appointees are
charged with participation in election
frauds in counting out Republican candi-
dates and intimidating voters. and in an as
Sortment of frauds on the suffrage. Divers
and sundry ailidavits of this character have
also been prepared in the South and sent to
such champions of the dOwn-trodden Re-
publicans as Gen. Logan and Senator HOar
and Senator Sherman, and the Republican
senators are to vindicate the purity of the
baIlot-box by rejecting the nominations of
all such culprits. The Republican senators
are also understood to be angered by the
suddenness of the taking-of of the judges in
WyODing territory. These gentlemen were
on the bench when they were removed, and
litgants who had come hundreds of miles
to attend court had TO be dismissed and sent
home to wait an indefinite period before
they could get their cases adjudicated.
This injustice to the litigants has gone to
the very souls of the Republican senators,
and they are preparing to express their in
dignation by antagOnizing the nominations
of the new Judges.

Rev. Jardine Kills HimseIf

ST. LOUIS, Jan. 10.-Quite a sensation
was produced when late tonight the cor
oner announced that Rev. II. ID. Jardine,
who was some weeks ago convicted before
the ecclesiastical court at Kansas City, had
committed suicide here to-day. 1t appears
since his arrival here some DAYS ago to con-
suit with his attorney regarding his case he
has been lodging in the vestry room of
Trinity church. of which Father Belts is
the rector. Last evening Jardine and his
attorney, Mr.. Harrison, and Father
Belts had a prolonged conference
in the vestry room, during which Mr.. Har-
risOn very decidedly expressed the opinion
that Bishop Robertson would not grant
Jardine a rehearing of his case. This had
some effect upon Jardine and he manifested
considerable feeling, repeatedly declaring
his innocence Of the charges for which he
had been tried and the justice of his de-
IN ands for new trial, but when Father
Belts and Mr.. Harrison left about / o'clock
this morning it was not thought that Jar
dine was seriously disturbed. When
Father Belts arrived at the church
early this morning, He observed
Jardine still in bed. but did not disturb him.
and went on with his early services. Later
tile sexton of the church went to the vestry
to wake Jardine and found him in a deep
sleep and breathing heavily, and he imme-
diately called Deacon Dwyer, assistant to
Belts, who. on entering the room, detected
chloroform and sent at once for a doctor.
On the arrival of the doctor, they discov-
cred that Jardine had taken chloroform,
and Immediately adopted vigorous meas
ures TO restore him. After three hours.
however, they announced that he was dead.
The coroner was notified, and after hearing
all obtainable testimony verdict of suicide
by chloroform was rendered. The body
was prepared for burial and now lies in the

A PECULIAR PHENOMENON.
4 Man Thrown From Bed by Death
i'm the Next Room.

CLEVELAND, Jan. 10.-At about 3
o'clock last Friday morning Mrs. Emily
Frayne, a widow, of Hamilton, Ont, who
had come to Cleveland to visit her sister,
who resides in a block on Prospect street.
died very suddenly. Frank Lamb, fresco
painter, aged 33. who occupies apartments
adjoining those in which Mn. Frayne died,
relates a remarkable story. He SAYS that
between 2 and 3 o'clock on the morning in
question he was awakened by something.
and looking across the room he saw lady
sitting on a lounge about four feet from the
bed. what do You want?" he asked;
raising her right hand the lady said,
Hush, hush," and then she disappeared.
Lamb is disbeliever in ghosts. and he at
once male a search of the room, and ex-
amined the lock of the door. He
found that the door was securely
fastened, and getting into bed, he lay, for
ten minutes. thinking about the strange oc-
currence. Suddenly the clothing on his bed
and the tick were tumbled off on the floor
by some unseen power. and he found HIM
self on the floor. Being angry by this time
Lamb made another search of the room
without finding anybody. He then opened
the door, and as he did so Mrs. Hadden.
the sister of Mrs. Frayne, came from her
room into the hall, saying MY sister is
dead" Lamb declares that he was not eX-
cited and that he was perfectly sober. He
cannot account for the strange occurrences
Other people in the block, who heard Lamb
fall, also left their rooms and they cOrrobo-
rated his statement as the coincidence of
his fall with Mrs. Frayne's death The
coroner has decided that the woman's death
was caused by heart disease.

-RaiIwayRat Cutting.

BALTIMORE. Jan. 10.-The Pennsylya-
MIA railroad on Friday put into effect a new
schedule of passenger rates, reducing the
price of tickets from Baltimore and Wash
ingtOn to all points west TO a level with the
Baltimore a. Ohio's cnt rates, which were
on a basis of S13 to Chicago. Tomorrow
the Baltimore & Ohio Will announce cut
from New York which will equalize with
the rate from here. The PENNSYLVANIA
will be unable to meet this cut without vio-
lating the terms of the trunk line pooling
arrangement Baltimore & Ohio passen-
gers will be obliged to come from Eastern
points over the Pennsylvania roads. but
tickets are TO be placed on sale in New
York and elsewhere at sufficiently low
figures to make them attractive to travellers,
and the cut will be made from this point,
as the Baltimore & Ohio will have to pay
regular rates from New York. The Balti-
more & Ohio announces its determination
to push the fight against the trunk line pool,
and hopes to be able by its course to be rec
ognized by its rivals in its claims of differ
ential rates

grumtIed Democrats.
Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 10.-Those Demo-
Gratis in congress who are discontented with
the tardiness of the administration in the
removal of Republicans and the appoint
ment of Democrats grumble a good deal in
private, but none Of them see very clearly
afE way either to amend the laws so as to
Open the wa, to the offices or TO prod the
president into more activity in respect to
appointments to places that do not come
within the scope of the civil service act. A
number of bills have been offered, but not
one that gives promise OF practical or valua-
BILE results in the direction the spoilsmen
desire, and they admit they have little hope
from the new committee on civil service re-
form. When the question comes up in the
house several members are likely to attack
the law savagely and even attempt the for
lorn hope of its repeal. In many cases
those who are dissatisfied with the current
of events under the present administration
assert that their constituents who are most
active in political work denounce the opera
ton of the law as an outrage on the party
which won the last presidential election.
but it is reluctantly admitted that popular
sentiment appears to be drifting in favor of
the principle that underlies the civil service
act. With less prudence than other poll
tcanS who have worked their way into
congress-. Mr.. EuStice Gibson of West Vir-
gina has unburdened himself before local
Democratic club on the subject of civil ser
vice reform, and made the boys
HOWL WITH DELIGHT
over the scorching he gave the administra-
tiOn. He complained that, though the
battle cry of the last presidential election
was turn the rascalS out" they were still
in Office and many of them had actually
been promoted. The Democratic party had
been betrayed by the people whom it ele-
waited to power. He thought the spois
should go to the victors. The men who
worked to put the present administration
in Office expected some reward for their ser
vices, but when they come here looking tor
office they are called spoilsmen, and i'm
some instances are msulted. He said civil
service reform was ''all bosh," and charged
that men in high places, referring to sena-
tors as well as public officials, filled the
offices with their own relatives, and secured
soft places for members of their own
families. Mr.. Gibson was kind enough to
say the president meant to do right, but
declared that he was making sad mistake
that would disrupt the Democratic party
unless 1t was speedily corrected. He
wanted it understood. too, that this matter
would be heard from in congress, for the
president and cabinet must be talked to
plainly and understand that Democratic
victory meant something more than putting
tlelr cousins and sons and other relatives
in Office. Mr.. Gibsons fellow members are
laughing at him to-day and say that he
probably thought his remarks would not get

silver Coinage.
Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 1O.-One of the Re-
publican leaders in the house on financial
questions is ex-Gov. Dingley of Maine. He
is the senior Republican member of the
committee on banking and currency. Gov.
Dingley said to-day, In reply to INQUIRIES.
that he does not think there is any prospect
for the passage of any bill affecting the
banks. the currency or the coinage. though
possibly congress may enact law similar
TO the Mcpherson bill, passed by the senate
of the last congress, which authorized the
banks to issue circulating notes equal in
amount to the par value of their bonds de-
posted to secure circulation.
A CALAMITY WOULD DO IT.
tI Think he said, "from what know of the
temper of the house, that nothing less than
actual financial calamity will induce congress
to suspend silver coinage. 1t is within the
power of the secretary of the treasury to
bring about calamity within week. All he
has to do is to issue a call for thirty or forty
millions of bonds and give notice that they
will be paid in silver. This would at once
prove whether silver and gold would come to-
gether or part company"
When asked whether he thought congress
would pass the resolution offered in the
senate yesterday by Mr.. Eustis of Louisi-
ana, directing the secretary of the treasury
10 make the next payment of called bonds
III silver, Gov Dingley said:
Yes. There are a great many men in con-
gress who, while opposed to the bill, will vote

Rates Will be Cut.

special 10 the Globe.
CHICAGO. Jan. 10. The formation of the
Eastern railway pool was to enable the
roads TO secure higher rates on the freights
they carry. but il certainly has the effect OF
preventing shipments so long as there is
hardly any Eastern or European demand
for American products With such light
business as Eastern roads are now dong
they cannot possibly make any money. and
though the rates they get are extOrtiOnately
high. The attempt TO secure a Twenty-Five
cent rate on grain now. the same as has
been charged when there was large de-
mand for American products in Europe and
elsewhere, and the prices on flour. grain
and provisions in this and other Western
markets warranted such rate, is certain
to prove failure under the existing state
of affairs. The roads must have business
if they mean TO live, and as things are they
can get but little. There is no reason why
the railroads should not bear with the pro-
ducers and shippers the results of the hard
times. and make their freights correspond
with the markets. As the result of
THEIR AvARICIoUsNEss
the railroads are now carrying q smaller
east-bound tonnage from here than they
have at any time at this season of the year.
The total shipments of grain, -four and pro-
visions for the last week by the various
railroads running east from this city
amounted to only 29. 975 tons, agejnst S4,
213 tons for the week previous, For the
corresponding week last year the total ship
ments amounted TO 54,611 tons, nearly
twice as much, and at that time business
was unprecedentedly dull. With such light
business it is not surprising that charges
are made of rate cutting. The Eastern
trunk lines are no doubt earnestly endeavor-
ing to secure the strict maintenance of tariff
rates, but they are unable TO prevent their
Western connections from cutting. as the
prevailing high rates give the latter splen
did opportunity to bear the reduction alone
and allow trunk lines their full proportions
of tariff rates. So long as business con-
tinues scarce and high freights remain in
effect, rates will be cut by the more inde-
pendent lines in spite of pooling agreements
and trunk line cOmpacts.

NEW YORK, Jan. 1O-The New York,

pleted an arrangement yesterday with the
new West Shore company. and its reOTgan-
iZatiOn committee and the New York Cen
tral as lessee of the West Shore. which
avoids all litigation as to the interests of
the parties i'm the West Shore road, secures
TO the Ontario company an entrance into
New York for 200 years, and relieves il of
the load il incurred in connection with the
terminal property. BY this arrangement
the Ontario company receives the title To
the MiddletOwn branch, extending from
Cornwall on the West Shore to its junction
with the main line of the Ontario company
at Middletown, about twenty-five miles in
length, and is released from all its obliga-
tions under its lease of the West Shore
road and also from its liability as guarantor
upon the terminal bonds and the terminal
lease. and secures the right for 200 years to
run its own trains over the West Shore road
south of Cornwall, paying a fixed sum per
mile for trackage. 1t also secures the right
to the use of the terminal property on both
sides of the river upon reasonable fixed
charges per ton and per passenger. The
rights secured to the Ontario company
underlie the West Shore mortgage The
Central company assumed control of the
line from Cornwall to Weehawken at mid
night. 1t is said an arrangement has also
