The Pacific Railroads.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 24.-In the senate
to-day Hoar called up the motion made
by Gorman some time since to reconsider
the vote by which the senate had ordered
a special committee of five on Pacific rail
road matters. He explained his motive
in proposing the special committee. The
judiciary committee had had the subject
under consideration for a great while, and
he should be the last senator to question
the capacity of that committee to deal
with that or any other subject within its
jurisdiction, but the pressure of work
upon hat committee precluded its giving
hearings to persons interested. 1t was
important that legislation on this subject
should be considered by a committee that
could have before it the representatives
of the companies and the officials of the
government.
German said his motion had been made
under the general impression that a sub
ject Of such magnitude had better be con-
sidered by a standing committee. He
now thought best to refer it to a select
committee. He suggested, however, that
the committee consist of seven and not
FIVE members.
Edmunds, after saying that he would
be glad to have the judiciary committee
relieved OF some labor on this subject,
added that the only legislation that had
ever asserted any rights of the govern
ment in regard to these railroad COM
panies had come from the Judiciary com
mittee. 1t had twice reported measures
which, if the senate had agreed to them,
the railroad companies would probably
have accepted them and the upshot Of
which would have given the government
security on every species of property
which these companies had acquired,
either directly or indirectly. Something
ought to be done, and done speedily, in
the matter.
Vest spoke in the same strain, and
after further discussion a motion to refer
the matter to the railroad committee.
made by Davis, was rejected. The orig
inal resolution was modified by increasing
the membership of the select committee
to seyen, and it was then adopted-Yeas

The Copper Market.

NEW YORK, Jan. PIT is daily be-
coming more and more manifest that at
least in the present perturbed state of the
copper market, the New York copper
market is but a reflection of the London
market. Early in the day buyers were
bidding seventeen cents on the New York
exchange for February copper, with sell
ers but few. There was an evident re-
l~uctance to enter upon extensive opera
tiOns until the pulse of the London market
could be felt. When the news came by
cable that the French syndicate was exc
cutting a vigorous bear movement in Lon
don prices dropped at the second call and
a few frightened holders sold February at
from Sl6.7 to SIC. 55, although spot and
January has been firmly held at from
SIC. 80 to SIT. At the close February
found buyers at SIG. 60, March was firm at
SIT, with $3.50 bid, and April went at
$3.50 to 5000, with buyers at the in
side figure.
LONDON, Jan. 24.-The market opened
with a buoyant tendency at e79 for spot
Chill bars, but was forced down to Ell,
S., by means of small sales. Sellers were
scarce at the first call, but the French
syndicate made another assault upon the
market, and broke it with small sales
down to els, 15s. The day transactions
amounted to 400 tons.

Where Is CoXP

TORONTO, Jan. 24.-The suspension of
d. S. Cox, broker, caused a stir here and
elsewhere. Dispatches from various points
say that different parties claim to have
lost large sums of meney. Cox's name
was freely mentioned in connection with
the failure of the Central bank a few
months ago, and the liquidation of the
banks affairs are said to be disclosing ir-
regularities. Cox is president of the In
ternational Base Ball Association and left
for Buffalo Wednesday last to attend a
meeting there. Since Friday he has not
been heard from. A sensation was Gre
ated when a petition was presented in
connection with the Central bank affairs,
from Rowland & Gooderham, l~iquidators,
making certain charges against their fell
low liquidator, A. Carpenter of Montreal,
praying that he be called to answer the
charges,

Comstock Set Back.

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 24.-A short time
ago Anthony Comstock, chief special
agent of the New York Society for the
Suppression of Vice, came to this city
and purchased from five different dealers
in works of art a numberof pictures which
were alleged to be obscene. Comstock
entered complaint against the dealers and
they were indicted by the grand Jury.
The trial of all these cases was taken up
to day and after hearing considerable evil
dence on both sides in four of the cases
Assistant District Attorney Kerr declined
to proceed further, saying that he did not
believe the pictures obscene. The Judge
said it wa not very easy to define actually
what terms lewd and obscene meant.
Nude pictures were not necessarily lewd
or indecent. If that were So, it would in
cludc everything and it would include
pictures of the most sacred kind. Where
there was an intention to corrupt the
public by the sale of Indecent or lewd pic
lures there ought to be severe punish
ment, but he did not think this was a case
of that kind.
The visit of Comstock to this city Tor
the purpose of prosecuting dealers in
artists supplies was criticised by his
honor. The bills of indictment in all the
cases were submitted to the jury and the
defendants were acquitted.

Stocks and Cattle Markets

New YORK, Jan. 24.-The stock
market was quite feverish and cratic to-
day. but withal very dull except for half a
dozen stock, which monopolized the inter,

there were a few large transactions and
one sale Of St. Paul of 5000 shares was
the largest single transaction that has
taken place at the stock exchange for over
two years. The aggregate business, how

A Juicy

WASHINGTON, Jan, 24.-The district
Republican convention to elect delegates
to the national convention in Chicago, as
sembled at Wizards hall this morning.
Most of the delegates were negroes, and
there were contesting delegations present
from nearly all precincts in the city. In
less than half an hour the convention was
little more than a bowling mob and the
rival factions were struggling ~fiercely for
possession of the stage. The quarrelling,
wrangling and shouting continued until
about 2 o'clock, at which time the police
took possession of the stage and cleared
the hall. Half an hour later all persons
who could show credentials as delegates
were reelected one by one, and the con-
vention resumed its session. Those of
the delegates who belonged to what is
known as the Chase faction finally sue
ceeded in getting partial control of the
convention and elected Judge S. A. Hella-
burger and Fred A. Dyson delegates, with
W. Calvin Chase and Nj. NJ. Holland as
alternates. Their chairman thereupon
declared the convention adjourned.
The Carson faction then took possession
OF the hall and elected as delegates Perry
Carson and Andy Gleason, with Daniel
Cahill and Marcillus West as alernates.

Starving Indians.

New YORK, Jan. 24.-The Posts Ed

The Pitankaan (wcasel skim tribe of
Indians, whose reserve is a few miles
north of Victoria on the Saskatchewan.
and about thirty miles from here, threaten
to plumber the government stores at Vic
toria. They have no provisions and Mr..
Mitchell, the Indian agent of the locality,
has just arrived. He states that flour and
meat contractors did not fill their con-
tracts, and this is what has caused want
among the Indians and made them
threaten to resort to violent means for
food. Provisions were procured from the
Hudson Bay company's post and distrib-
uted among them, pending the arrival of
other provisions from here, which they
must have or die.

In Want of Fuel.

ST. PAUL, Jan. 24.-The Pioneer
Press learns from Browns Valley, Mimi,
that fuel there is not only used up but
provisions are also getting low. Should
another storm prevent the opening of the
road within a few days great suffering can
hardly be averted, particularly among the
farmers along the line. The Manitoba
company is making a fight to open their
line, but the road is in such a bad shape
that it is not possible TO clear it fast
enough to do effective work.
A number of farmers went to Boards
ley for fuel yesterday, and not finding any
coal tore down the companY's snow fences
and carried away several loads.

Trouble Among the Brewers,

MILWAUKEE,, Wis, Jan. PA circu.
lar has been issued by the brewers of this
city to their 5000 employees, notifying
them that on Jan. 26 every member OF
Brewers Union No. o in their IN
ploy will be discharged unless conserving
to leave that organization. The circular
states that the employers are prompted
to take this stand by the action of the
union in openly supporting and promot-
ing the boycott which is being waged here
and elsewhere against their beer. They
call attention to tho large wages that arc
being paid to their workmen, and the fact
that they granted all demands made upon
them until the union tried to interfere in
the masters strike, by making unreason-
able demands upon them.
The union will meet tomorrow night,
and it is anticipated that a strike will be
ordered.

Bud Mccoy, of the pursuing party, was
dangerously wounded, and Will Dempsey
