has said that he did not want to enter the

might be brought TO bear that might
induce him TO accept, but nv impression
is that he will positively decline all tenders.
The fact is that he has by no means given up
the idea Of the presidency. His
chances for 80 are very good.
Entrance into the cabinet would jeopardize
them. II he were in Mr.. Harrison's cabinet,

THE DISTRICT IN CONGRESS.

HOW THE SENATE COMMITTEE ON THE DISTRICT
JUST MISSED HOLDING MEETING.
The Senate committee on the District Of Co
lumbia narrowly escaped holding . meeting
this morning. At 1880, Senators Ingalls,,
Spooner and Faulkner were in the committee
room ready for business, but they were power
less, because three was not Q quorum. They
the monotony somewhat by referring to the
District Commissioners the bill to amend
the act Incorporating the Georgetown and
Tenleytown railroad, introduced yesterday by
Senator Faulkner. No other member of the
committee putting in an appearance the trio
separated. Five minutes later Senator Harris
entered the committee-room, and finding 1t
desolate, departed. few minutes later Sena-
tor Farwell came in and went out again. The
i've Senators would have constituted quorum
II they could only have turned up at the same
time in the same place. There will be no
other meeting Of the committee until next
Friday.
MEETING OF THE HOUSE COMMITTEE.
The House District committee held its first
meeting for this session this morning. Chair
man Hemphill and Messrs. Compton, Heard,
Powell, Vance, Grant, Atkinson, Romeis and
Brewer were present Representative Payson
appeared before the committee and spoke in
opposition to the bill to close an alley between
18th and 18th and and II streets. No action
was taken on the bill. Chairman Hemphlll
was instructed to ask the House to recommit
to the committee the bill to create a
board Of audit to settle all claims against the
District. This was done to allow the District
Commissioners opportunity to insert amend
ments which they deem necessary. The bill
will be taken up on Tuesday next at 1880.
Commissioners Webb and Wheatley were pres
ent at to-day's session.
Several members of the committee think that
the greater portion of next Tuesdays meeting
VIII be given up to a discussion
OF the free water bill. There have
not been, as yet, any expressions
Of opinion by members of the committee as to
the merits of the BILL because it has not been
discussed. When it does come up the Com
missioners will do their utmost to secure a fav-
orable report.
FOR LIGHTING THE HOUSE WING OF THE CAPITOL.
The House committee ON public build
ings and grounds has completed a
plan for lighting the House wing
of the capitol and for supplying electric
bells to all the rooms where bells are neces-
sary. An expert has been at work for the past
six weeks preparing plans and specifications.
and the committee to-day approved them. As
soon as they can be printed the committee
will advertise for bids, in accordance with the
House resolution of last session.

THINKS HE WAS ELECTED.
A Crank who Persisted I'm His Efforts to
See the President.

During the past two three DAYS officials at
the White House have been annoyed by a man
who has paid frequent visits there for the pur-
pose of seeing the President He is about
forty-ive years old and well dressed and pre-
sents the appearance of man in good circum-
stances. Early in the morning and late in the
evening he appeared to see the President on
important business. Each time he appeared
he carried IN his hands a bundle of manuscript
and newspapers. On a dozen or more sheets of
legal cap paper ke had written what purported
to be a report by the Secretary of the Navy.
This convinced the officials that the man was
a crank, and Sergeant Johnson notified
House. Yesterday he managed to slip
in unnoticed with a visiting delegation,
and when discovered by the officials be was
upstairs on his way to the Presidents ROOM
Sergeant johnson then put him out and again
warned him to keep away under a threat of
arrest. This. however, did not brighten him.
for about O'Clock this morning he returned
in a cab and again insisted on seeing the Presi-
dent He was sent away from the door. This
morning the officials discovered that the Wis
itor had left his coat yesterday. He returned
to the White House before noon to-day and
Officer Cunningham placed him under arrest
He was taken to the sanitary office. where he
was questioned by Sanitary Officer Frank He
gave his name as G. w. Jamison and said he
was from Hartsville, Bucks county, Pa. He
said that he was widower and had four chill
dren, whom he left in charge of Mrs. Ruther-
ford.
There was an election last month" re-
marked the stranger.
Il believe there was," said the sanitary
officer.
WELL" said Jamison, sthere is a mistake as
to the man who was elected. Cleveland and
another man ran. Cleveland was defeated. but
the other man was not elected"
who was?" asked the officer.
Il was" he answered. And / came here to
see that President Cleveland turns the oiiice
over to me and not to the other man."
He was taken to the third precinct station.
where he will be examined as to his mental
condition by the police surgeons. His friends
will also be informed of his arrest

HEARING BEFORE THE SECRETARY OF THE INTE-

The Secretary of the Interior, sitting with
the assistant attorney general, to-day heard ar
gument Of counsel on the part of the railroad
company in the case Of the United States agt
the st. Louis and San Francisco railway COM
pany. The case came up upon a citation to
the railroad company to show cause who pat
ents to about 90, 900 acres of land on the line of
this road, between Springfield, No., and the
western boundary of the state, alleged to have
been enormously issued about twenty years
ago, should not be cancelled. The government
claims that these lands were reserved to the
United States by the act of June 10, 1852, and
consequently did not pass to the Atlantic and
Pacific railroad company (of which the st.
Louis and San Francisco company is the sue
cessor by foreclosure purchase) under its grant
OF July "a, 1866. Vice-President John O'Day,
of the st. Louis and San Francisco road APP
peared as counsel for his company. tits stated
that the lands in controversy have long since
passed out of the hands of the railroad COM
pany to settlers who have in many cases resold
them to others. Mr.. o. Day maintained that
the original grant, and later the patents from
the government conveyed an absolute and in
contestable title, and that recent decision Of
United States court in q similar case estab-
fishes his position.

the Parnellites' Case.

LONDON, Dec. Patrick Molloy, who re-
fused to obey the subpoena Of the Times to
give evidence before the Parnell COM
mission, and who was arrested and
brought from Dublin, was placed in the
witness box when the commission assembled
to-day. He was guarded by police. Attorney
General Webster, for the Times, examined him
at length, but did not succeed IN extracting
title of evidence. Molloy met all the attorney
generals questions with blank denials or pro-
LESSONS of ignorance.
On cross examination by Michael Davitt,
Molloy stated that solicitors clerk in Dublin
had promised him money il he would try to
criminate Mr.. Davitt either by true or false
evidence.
Mr. Daxitt asked the witness If it was the
common belief in Ireland that agents of the
Times and the government were trying to OBJ
tain evidence by brides and threats.
Presiding Justice Hannen overruled the ques-
ton.
