NEW YORK, Nov. 3O.-The Sun this
morning prints interviews with lead
ing democrats in the G.. A. r. in vari-
Gus parts of the country. and in review
of these interviews 1t says: 1.-THE move
ment for withdrawal of the democratic
members of the G. A. Z. on the ground
that the organization is used TO furth-
er the political ends of the republican
party seems TO meet with little sympa-
thy outside of Indiana where it began.
The revolt has been organized in Indi-
annapolis, but in no other state are steps
in that direction reported. Interviews
by the Sun correspondents with many
prominent democrats in the Grand
Army show that they will not Join the
revolt, but that they have no idea that
1t will be important. They distinctly
contradict the assertion of General
Palmer that the Grand Army is an ad-
junct Of the republican party and deny
that as an organization It has any par
tisan bias. They also say there is not
room for another successful organiZa-
tion of veterans. In fact, the inter-
views seem to indicate that as a rule
the results OF the election have not
shaken the fealty of the democratic
veterans to the Grand Army; however
its individual members may vote,
which was organized and is maintained
by belief for non political PURPOSES.

A sspsas,ona Romance.

SPRINGFIELD, Dec. deputy Uni
ted States Marshal Willis arrived in
the city late last night with George w.
Scott of Pierce City, arrested on a
warrant for obtaining letter from the
mail by fraud and opening the same.
Scott is one of the most prominent
citizens of Pierce City and his arrest
created great sensation. The story
is full of interest and quite rOmatic.
Last June young Scott, who is quite
wealthy, went to Bentonville Ar
kansas and opened MP hotel.
During the month of July Miss
May Branscombe OF Kansas City, and
her mother arrived there to spend
the summer. Miss BranseomDe
is nineteen years Of age. beautiful, fas-
cinating and an acknowledged society
belle of Kansas City. In two weeks
Scott had fallen a victim to her charms
and married her. Then followed wild
amusen.ents and lavish expenditure of
money, terminating in bankruptcy.
The young wife was the center of at
traction at grand balls, suppers and
carnivaIs.
A close attendant ON Mrs. Scott
was L. I. Schick Jr., Kansas City
travelling man. The husband expostu-
lated in vain. Finally he took his
young wife to Pierce City where they
lived quietly for month or two. Mrs.
Scott, however. kept up a correspon-
dence with Schick and one day the hus-
band .crazed with jerlousy, secured a
let terfrom the postofice addressed
by his wife TO Miss Jennie
Henderson of Kansas City. He opened
| it and found enclosed a letter to Schick
exposing, it is alleged, d conspiracy be
| tween his wife and Scliick to rob
him OF his property. He upbraided his

rents are immensely wealthy and he
has already secured bail and it IS said
can have q million dollars to back him
/ in his trouble. A writ has
been issued upon which the wife will bt
brought to Springfield.

Washington Knt.s.

WAsHINGToN, d. c., Nov. sO.-There
is much uncertainty expressed at the
capitol as to the fate of the direct tax
bill which the committee on rules, by
caucns action, was directed to make a
special order for Thursday, the 9Th of
December. The opponents of the
measure, who at the last session made
a successful fight against the consider
alton, evince an entire absence of
knowledge as to whether or not the
caucus programme will be carried out.
but say it is highly improbable that
dilatory tactics will again be employed
to compass the defeat of the measure.
The treasury disbursements have
been unusually large during the month
Of November. the pension payments
alone amounting to SD .OOO. Goo. In
consequence of this it is estimated at
the department this afternoon that the
public debt statement to be issued to-
morrow Will show an apparent in
crease of 81, 500 since November 1st.

NATIONAL HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.

The Republicans Confidently Claiming Majority
of BeVsn and Possibly Eleven.
WASHINGTON, d. c., Nov. 29.-The
dispatches received to-day from West
Virginia. North Carolina and Tennes-
see make it absolutely certain that the
republicans have the house in the
Fifty-first congress. Counting only
decisions which have been actually
reached, the house stands republicans
1855. democrats 159. This is q republic
can majority of seven. IL counts the
Symons district in North Carolina and
the Atkinson district in West Virginia
to the democrats, but both are still
claimed by the republicans, and both
may yet be awarded them in
the final decision. The republicans
now have the following southern
districts which have been in doubt;
Coleman in Louisiana, Evans in Ten
nessee. Stockbridge in Maryland, and
the two West Virginia districts con-
coded by democrats there. Surprising
the two West Virginia districts, as
well as Atkinson, are given to the
democrats the house would still remain
republican by three majority, and as
these are the only cases where formal
decision has not been reached, the re-
publicans can not in any event lose the
house.
If Symons, of North Carolina, and
Atkinson. in Virginia. receive certifi-
Gates, which is possible, the republican
majority will go to eleven. If one of
them obtains certificate the majority
will be nine. The senate, with the
gain in Delaware, will stand after the
4th of March thirty-nine republicans to
thirty-seVen democrats, with the vote
of the Vice-preSident to spare.

WASHINGTON. d. c., Nov. 29.-The
question of the admission of the terri
tories of Dakota, Montana, Wa shing-
ton and New Mexico is .agitating demo-
cratic circles. While Mr.. Springer is
enthusiastic in his declaration of an
intention to pass the bill in the house
this session, some Democratic senators
are talking about fighting against the
admission of Dakota as two states.
Their programme appears to be to kill
time by long speeches if they. can not
favor of a compromise, as the Oklaho-
ma bill he predicts will be passed at
once, and he hopes that the enabling
act for the other territories will be-
come a new law before 4th OF March.

Jaw Gould Turns Missionary.

NEW YORK, NOV. 3O.-Jay GOuiQ
spent the greater part of his Thanks
giving day in missionary work. He
devoted two hours trying to convert
President r. r. Gable of the Chicago,
Rock Island 81 Pacific railroad to q
belief in a big railroad trust by which
it is proposed to rem edy all evils of
decentralization that abound now in
the shape of rate cutting wars. Mr..
Gould becomes with each succeeding
day more and more enthusiastic over
his projected trust and the possibilities
of 1t. He has deeply grieved over the
cool reception of its promised bene-
dts, however. by the Rock Island peO-
pie upon whose cooperation he de-
pended from the start, but when few
days ago President Gable and other
western directors of the Rock Island
company came to New York they
quickly mace known their non-accep-
tance of the trust scheme. 1t was not
practicable and there were features in
it that would prove obnoxious to the
public and it would conflict with the
law. It was pret0ntious and beautiful
in theory, but still altogether incapa-
bic of working. 1t was to overcome these
objections IL possible that Mr.. Gould
spent so much of his time at the Wind
Dbl uOLCl yCoOCAudy us
cussion with President Cable OF the
trust proposal in all its details. Mr..
Gould argued with great earnestness.
He showed clearly his anxious interest
in making the trust experiment. One
by one he presented schemes and
details, pointing out advantages
that he discerned, emphasizing the cor
poration dangers and Affections now
existing, which would by his plan be
relieved, If not wholly eradicated. Mr..
Cable stated plainly the weakness he
saw in the propositions, pointed out
objections that he believed would be
raised by anti-monopolists as rallying
cries for further legislation adverse to
railroads. He told Mr.. Gould frankly
that he was far from convinced that a
trust such as proposed could be oper-
ated for any long time, or even while
operated be equal to the tasks pre-
scribed for it. However, Mr.. Gould
was treasured by receiving President

LONDON, Nov. 29.-Inspector Crane
gave evidence before the parnell COM
mission to-day as to the progress of
crime in Ireland, being coincident with
the formation of branches of the league
and wherever an organization was
started outrages followed, and that not
every Lacquer was moOnlighter, but
the majority OF mOonlighters were
leaguers. On cross examination the
witness admitted that he had never
been able to trace directly the connec-
tion of persons convicted of outrages
with the league, and certainly no Off
cial of the league had ever been con-
victed. No crime had occurred in con-
nection with home rule agitation or the
extension of the franchise.

arrested here yesterday for attempting
to swindle tailor named Baruch out Of

coin out of Burmese metal. Baruch
had a friend on the detective force.
and told him of the scheme. The re-
suit was that the swindlers we're in
duced to show the machine to Baruch,
and yesterday they were trapped while
operating it. 1t IS simple device,
the machine being loaded with gen
uine S. pieces coated with quicksilver.
The prepared metal poured into the
machine falls into a pan underneath
while a spring releases one of the
coins. This coin is thrown into sui
phuric acid, which cleans it ofquick-
silver. The dupes are thus persuaded
to advance money for the purchase of
metal when the swindieTs decanp.
Sanchez and Newman admitted that
they we're the two men arrested for
working this same game in Denver last
August. The two got out on b i.
while Sanchez went east and bought Il
new machine, while Newman came
here. SLEEPY jake is "a noted bunko
