WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. ll.-An in
vestigation began by the police Of this

MAKING w INrINCIBLE.
Tho Easy Task Before tho Republican
Party-Bound to Make Itself Solid In
Power for mt LeaSt 2S YearS.

Power for ut Least 25 Years.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 11.-Now that II
is ascertained apparently beyond O
doubt TINT the Republicans will control
The administration and both Houses Of
Congress after the 4th OF March, the
possibilities OF the situation are being
extensively canvassed. For the first
time in 10 years these three branches OF
the Government will be in complete ac-
cord. During all that time some one OF
them has been constantly engaged in an
attempt TO put the other at u disadvan-
tage for party effect, and not on account
OF any deep.seated principle. 1t was
impossible to conduct legislation in n
rational manner.
A natural result OF the new situation
will be that the Republicans will attempt
to legislate not only to bind the North
more firmly to them, but also to make u
formidable break in the line Of the Solid
South. They are greatly encouraged to
think they can accomplish this by the
apparent victory in West Virginia, the
almost defeat OF the Democrats in the
Old Dominion, and reduced majorities
in other Southern States on account OF
the tendency Of the Democrats on the
tariff question.
II is firmly believed by leading Re-
publicans that within four years, by lib
eral treatment and judicious legislation,
West Virginia, Virginia, North Caro-.
lima, Tennessee, and possibly Georgia,
Alabama and Missouri can be brought
into the Republican line. Even two or
three OF these with the addition OF three
Republican Suites, through the adj
mission Of the Territories OF Washington
and the the two Dakotas, will, it is
thought, make the Republican party in
for ut least twenty-five years to
come, unless it commit suicide by inter-
nal corruption. The repeal OF the tobac-
co tax alone is expected to bring Vir-
ginia and North Carolina over to the
and that repeal will be
made very soon after the Republicans
assume charge OF affairs.
With the great change wrought by the
1t is probably the purpose ofthe
Senate to take up its Tariff bill early in
the coming session and debate on it to
the passage will be abandoned, that the
bill which is passed finally may be cred
tied entirely to the Republicans, and
Furthermore be free from the evidences
OF sectional antagonism, which are to
some extent seen in both the Mills bill
and the Senate substitute. Some think
that in order to hasten the passage OF n
Tariff bill President Harrison should
call'an extra session OF Congress imme.
diately after his Inauguration, but others
think the matter can well he permitted
to rest until the regular session, and that
in the meantime committee OF both
houses complete the investigation and
enable the House to report bill which
will be the result of Il complete ex-
hanstion OF the subject OF customs tax
alton.

The Reception Given the Conservative
Leader by Madrid Mob.
MIDRID, Nov. l1.--In anticipation OF
the arrival of Senior Canovas Del Cas-
tillo, from Seville, q strong force of po-
lice and military was posted this morning
along the streets through which the
conservative leader was expected to
pass on his way from the railway
station to his residence. Thousands
of Republicans collected at the
station at an early hour and the arrival
OF senor Canovas was the signal for the
hostile outburst. The mob surrounded
and followed his carriage, hooting and
throwing stones. The windows OF the
carriage were smashed by the flying
missiles. Sonora Canovas, who accom-
panied her husband, was struck by
stone but was not seriously
injured. When the carriage reach
ed the prado the gend d. arms
surrounded it in order to protect the
occupants from violence. Similar scenes
OF disorder occurred outside Of the resi-
dence OF Senior Canovas. The crowd
continued the demonstration in front OF
the Conservative club and Conservative
journals. AT the EpOeG building the
mob again became violent and every
window in the place was smashed.

WILLIAMsPoRT, Nov. ll.-While cut
ting railroad ties in 8lcsheny township
yesterday Arthur Callahan and Louis
Raynor were surprised by large bear
which was coming directly toward them,
pursued by dogs. Callahan struck at it
with his AK, and in doing SO fell. The

knee 10 the ankle. Raynor struck the
iniuriated beast on the neck with his Ak
and forced it to let go, i ran, followed
by the dogs.

sicians summoned, who dressed his
mangled leg. Although badly hurt he
will recover. Bears are plenty IN the

HOW HARRISON SPENT SUNDAY.
He Attends Church aud Passes Quiet Day
in His Library.

in His Library.
INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. 1.-THE Presi-
dent-elect attended divine service this
morning as usual at his church, the
First Presbyterian, Rev, DR.. Haines,
pastor. The church was crowded with
strangers and others in anticipation OF
General Harrison's presence. In his
sermon the pastor made no reference
whatever to the recent elevation OF n
member'o OF his congregation to the Pres
idency. After the services had
closed many members OF the congre-
cation gathered around and shook
hands with General and Mrs.
Harrison. A large crowd awaited his
coming out, but there was no demon
stration. The distance from Harrison's
residence to the church is mile, and
the weather was cool and pleasant. The
General and other gentlemen OF the
party walked both coming and going.
The day at the Harrison residence was q
very quiet one, the General passing most
OF his time in the library reading or con-
versing with his family.
The General does no work whatever
on Sundays, not even opening or reading
his mail; in fact he gave orders some
weeks ago that his Sunday mail should
not be delivered until early Monday
morning.
Telegrams and special delivery letters
are OF course opened, but beyond this
he gives the Sabbath day up to rest, Wis
iting with his family and attending ser
vices at least once.
Among many congratulatory commu-
nications received yesterday were letters
from General Sherman and Joseph Me-
dill, proprietor Of the Chicago Tribune.

BmpoEPoRT, CT., Nov. ll.-NIilcs A.
French and his wife, Nellie. were ar
rested at the depot in this city last night
by Pinkerton detectives as they were
about taking train for Boston. French
has been employed the past three years
by the Bridgeport Copper Company, his
business being to extract silver from cop
per orc. For some time past he has been
carrying on a system OF stealing the sill
yer thus obtained. The company had
no means OF knowing the exact amount
of silver taken from each ton OF
ore, which French well knew
and they trusted to his honesty.
When ton OF ore would exceed the
average he would appropriate the ex-
cess to his own use. He soon began to
spend money freely and lived fur be-
yond his salary, which caused the firm
10 investigate matters. This resulted in
his arrest. He or his wife or both made
frequent visits to Boston, Providence
and New York, where theymet agents
and disposed OF their plumber. When
arrested last night they had about 81 200
worth Of silver in bars. 1t is thought
that French has stolen from $4,000 to
1000 in this manner.
