QUAY IN INDIANAPOLIS.
He Is to Have an Interview with Presi.
dent-elect Harrison This Morning.

The Indianapolis special to the Phila-
delphia Press mentions the arrival Of
a party Of prominent men, including Sena-
tor Quay, ex-President Hayes, Gen. Brit
ton, Gen. Geo. b. Williams. and Gen.
Milo 8. Hascall Ex-President Hayes came to
attend the meeting this evening Of the Loyal
Legion, of which,he is commander-in-chief, and
was met at the train by the committee repre-
senting the organization. Mr.. Quay was taken
to the New Denison Hotel; where Private Sec
rotary Halford, Hon. John @. New, and four or
five prominent republicans awaited his arrival.
He engaged in conversation for a few minutes.
Mr.. Halford arranged for a conference between
Mr. Quay and the President-elect early this
morning. To the Press correspondent MIR.
Quay said: THE purpose of my visit to Gen.
Harrison is well enough understood, l think. to
need no explanation. i will probably have
something to say to him about politics."
QUAY AS WITNESS.
An Indianapolis special to the Philadelphia
Times says that in the grand jury investigation
of the alleged bribery case yesterday. W. H.
Barker, secretary of the New York senate. who
had charge Of the distribution of speakers of
the national republican committee during the
campaign, was a witness. He was very much
and said in connection with the matter: Il
don't know anything about Dudleys letter and
not much about Dudley. 1 did not know that
he had even written a letter till the democratic
papers said So"
Senator Quay will be summoned to appear
before the jury to-day, the subpoena having al
ready been issued for him.

DISTRICT RAILROAD LEGISLATION.
Little Prospect of Any Action at this
Session of Congress.

There il not likely to be anything done by
the Senate during this session toward solving
the steam railroad problem in the District.
Hearings may be granted by the District COM
mittee and various plans proposed discussed,
but it Ia not thought probable that any meas
urs viii be reported to the Senate. The prin-
cipal reason alleged for this is that the consid-
Grafton OF the tariff bill will crowd other
measures to such an extent that District legis-
lation Of any importance upon which there is
any division of sentiment will have little
chance. Another reason is found in the apps-
rent disagreement which the subcommittee
thinks exists between the various citizens as
sociations interested in the matter. THE SQUAD
bles of citizens over this matter" said Sc ma
tor who is interested in seeing the District
railroad problem solved, shave Disguised many
Of Us who are really anxious as they are to
see this troublous matter settled. No two rep
resentative men can agree on any one plan OF
relief"
In the disagreement OF the management OF
the two railroad companies the committee
finds an other great obstacle to legislation. 1t
il generally understood that the subcommittee
wants to have the Baltimore and Ohio and
Pennsylvania authorities unite on plan that
will be satisfactory to themselves, to Congress,
and to the people.
What the next Congress may do in this mat
ter is. of course, problematical in the extreme.
but unless conditions and theories change sud-
denly and Unexpectedly there will be no rail-
road legislation for the District during this
session.

The Socialist Propaganda.

THE ORGANIZATION OF woRKINGMEN INTO SMALL
GROUPS TO BE PUSHED.
1t is learned that at secret meeting OF
the central labor union and the trades as
sembly, held Sunday night in Chicago, Albert
Curtin, the well-known agitator, in an address
on Capitalization and federation, advocated
the federation plan, which. he said has
been adopted by the international union.
In this system" he said. 1.-The labOrers are
organized in little groups from five to
twenty members or more; then there is
not so much danger from spies. Little
groups do not arouse suspicion. and cannot
be watched and controlled easily by the police.
In case of a conflict with the capitalists, the
little but numerous groups can act more sue
cessfully and cause more damage to the enemy
without running a great risk of detection.
The police have prohibited our public meet
ings. This aroused Indignation among the
workingmen, and caused them to join our So
cieties more numerously.
1t is now the best time to spread our agita-
ton over the town. The spring election is
coming and the workingmen take more inter-
est at this time of the year than usually. We
can bring them much easier together than at
any other time. would therefore suggest the
organization Of workingmen's ward clubs
This should be done not only in Chicago but in
the suburban TOWNS. We should begin the
great task at once. We will be able to control
the greater part Of the workingmen. and in
cases Of conflict with capital. which NAV come
In the near future. they will be ready to ac-
complish the social revolution"
Mr.. Curtin made this as a motion. 1t was
adopted unanimously and the organization of
ward clubs will be begun Immediately

John C. Calhoun's Homestead.

HIS OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES TRYING TO PREVENT
SOUTH CAROLINA FROM GETTING IT.
A Charleston special to the Philadelphia
Press. December l6, says: In the United States
district court to-day Judge Simonton issued an
injunction restraining R. W. Simpson, executor
of Thomas G. Clemson, from conveying Fort
Hill, the homestead of John C. Calhoun, over
to the state of South Carolina. Clemson was
the son-in-law Of Calhoun. and when he died
last summer he left a will devising Fort Hill
and personal property to the amount of $4,000
to the state for an agricultural college. This
was great surprise to Clemsons relatives as
they thought he was a very poor man. They
wrote to a grocer not long before his death au-
thorizing him to supply the old man with gro
ceries.
The heir to the estate was Miss Isabelle Lee.
daughter of Gideon Lee, q New York stock
broker. and great-granddaughte Of John C.
Calhoun. Her father at once began to look
after her interests. Suit was begun and the
injunction to-day was the first step in the liti-
CATION. The acceptance Of the bequest was
made an issue in the last campaign. and was
the occasion Of much bitter political feeling.
There is a large element in the state who re-
gard the acceptance Of the bequest as robbing
Miss Lee Of her birthright: The matter is now
before the Legislature, where some sharp de-
Dates are taking place. The property has been
accepted by the house, but it is thought the
senate will reject il

MANY WOMEN OF AMERICA

IT IS SAID TO BE GETTING STRONG HOLD UPON
MANY WOMEN OF AMERICA
From the Buffalo Courier.
If one-half Of what the doctors are saving all
over the country is true, there may soon be a
greater need Of a temperance reform among
the women than there ever has been among
the men. Strong drink. however. is not the
monster by which the women may be ensla ed.
but a strong and poisonous drug equally bane-
fui in its effect.
This drug is antipyrine The chemical name
for it il acknowledgements" but as it is
rather long, and might not be easily pro-
nounced by ladies who are not photographed
experts, it has been called simple antipvrine,
and appears as such in the medical books.
1t is a white powder slightly bitter, and sou-
BILE in water. Until about a year ago it was
prescribed for fevers only; but French med
ical college recommended it for headaches
and other pains and disorders, and in this wav
it has gained its grasp on so many thoughtless
and nervous women.
In Chicago and many other places it is said
that the habit is gaining with alarming ra-
cannot believe that its soothing effect can have
any evil result until the habit is thoroughly
fixed upon them.
1t produces different results under different
circumstances, and. like many other prepa-
ratiOns, varies according to the size Of the
dose. In large doses it has been known to pro-
duce complete relaxation. and, at the same
time. loss Of reflex action and death. In
moderate or tonic Doses it often produces con-
vulsions. Its effect stimulant seems to be
very much like that of quinine, and the ply
sicians say that they do not understand why it
should get the hold on women that it does.

From julius Konrieds Memoirs
Won Suppe is said to be the despair of operate
managers. When he was under an engagement
to write Donna Juanita" for the Karl theater
the anxious directors one day called upon him
and asked how the opera was getting on 1t
was then advertised to be produced in eight
weeks time, ''Well. have made a beginning :"
said Suppe; Il have just bought some music
paper, and he exhibited his purchase He
then promised to deliver the score in a fort
night. At the expiration of three weeks only
the first act was ready. Another three weeks
past. and the second act was handed in
From that time onward Suppe supplied the
score at the rate of a page or two day. and it
was only on the occasion of the final rehearsal
within few hours of the production of the
opera. that he brought with him the conclud-
ing number.
He also composed the most popular numbers

each other like the old acquaintance that they
were.

And you might have bee n. responded Cox.
The meaning of the rejoinder will strike the
reader readily enough. If Blaine had taken
the nomination that was given to Harrison he
might now be booked for the White House. But

Congressman had two days in which to decide.
his defamation was not so much because he be-
neved that Tammany couldn't elect mayor as
that he deemed the place one of peculiar har-
