CONSTITUTIONAL QUESTION.
Although the mandate of the Reichstag
expires on February q, there is some DOUBT
about the date of the elections The jour
mails are discussing the constitutional right
of the new Reichsfag. The renewal of the
agreement or coalition programme known
as the Cartal has not prevented some lively
disputes between Deputies of the allied
groups.
The more liberal end of the combination
is accused of making itself fsubservient to
the royal will, and the Emperor is imag-
ined as the author of the programme-the
wits saying that he originated it by saying
in the style of Louis XIV: "Car-tel est
mon plaisir." E
In the disputes Of the party Hammer
stein, the manager of the Kreuz Zeitung
has, with Stolp, one of the candi-
dates in favor of ex-Minister Putt
kamer to oppose the National
Liberal candidate at Bellefeld. Thereupon
the National Liberal and the Ultra-Con-
servative newspapers have fallen foul OF
one another, and the National Liberals ac-
cuse the Conservatives of having entered
into secret measures with a wing of the
Deutsche Freiezinnin party to work the
elections in number of districts against the
National Liberals.
A GOVERNMENT SCHEME.
The Socialist trial at Ellersfeld is likely
to result in the enforced absence from the
electoral struggle of number Of the Social
list leaders. The Public Prosecutor de-
mands that Babel be sentenced to 10 months
imprisonment, Grillenberger and Harm to
one year, and Schumacher to six months.
The Socialist delegates, In reunion at Pts
dorf, suburb of this city, decided to join
the international demonstration on the 1st
of May in favor of eight hours for a days
labor.
Count Won Moltke was i'll three days with
the fashionable epidemic. He recovered
and was out on Tuesday, but he had a. re-
lapse and was taken down with bronchial.
The doctors now prohibit his leaving his
bedroom.

A Chef Of M. PeIouard's Dies as He Lived
Peculiar Ceremonies at the Grave
"A Speech Something
Like InrernnIl,a.
fFRoM A sTAFF coRREsPoNDENT.l


Like IngersOIl's.
fFRoM A STAFF CORRESPONDENT
WASHINGTON, December M.-Monsieur
Marcel Pelouard. former steward to Lord
Saekville, late of the British Legation, and
husband of the Madame Pelouard, who was
cook at the White House last summer, and
who threatened suit against the Harrisons
for wages claimed, keeps small French
restaurant and pension on Eighteenth and
ID streets. A few days ago he secured the
services of noted French cook, fne-look-
ing and very we'll educated young fellow
from Paris and New York.
The first effort of the latter was to pre-
pare an elegant banquet given by Monsieur
Pelouard to large number OF correspond
ents and public men. The dinner was highly
praised, and the new chef was very proud,
but the exertion was too much for him, for
on the day following the banquet he was
stricken with pneumonia, and died within
As hours from the beginning Of the attack.
The chef had been reared in the Catholic
church, but had been an agnostic. Notwith-
standing this, Catholic friend sent for
Father Chappelle, a popular priest
of this city, to minister to the dying
man. Even In his delirium. however, the
chef adhered to his agnosticism. BE
ordered Father Chappelle from the room, de-
claring he wanted no priests about him,
either In life or death.
Of course the church refused her
blessing and her services after this, and the
poor chef would have had a very quiet
burial indeed, had not the guests
at the banquet heard of his
demise. Many of these assembled
and attended the body to Graceland ceme-
terry. As the coffin was lowered into the
grave. Mr.. Lewsley, of the New York
World, stepped forward with uncovered
head, and made brief but eloquent and af-
iecting address, suggestive of the best vein
of Colonel IngersolI.
An old friend of the chef delivered an
Grafton in French, others made brief re-
marks. and altogether the funeral was per-
haps the most unique and interesting that
has ever occurred in Washington.

CORN-FED OYSTERS.

The Luscious Bivalves Fatlened ON Lib
eraI Quantities of Meal.
st. Louis Globe-Democratl
Most people, when they hear of ''corn-fed
oysters" laugh at what they take to be a
little extravaganza intended to convey the
idea of fatness, the association of ideas
with extreme fatness and corn-fed hogs
being natural. But corn-fed oysters are as
much fact as cOrn-fed hogs. Oyster culti-
vation in all the bays and sounds of the
East is conducted with as much science as
the cultivation OF agricultural products.
In many places on the Chesapeake Bay
the oyster farmer every morning strews with
a liberal hand upon the surface of the water
covering his beds Of the bivalves, quantities
of Underground corn meal, which rapidly
sinks to the bottom and is devoured or abb
sorbed by the gaping shell-6sh, the result
being an especially fat and luscious oyster.

One of Those Frequent Jokes Causes n
Young Mans Death.
NEW YORK, December 21.-John Rusk,
one of the best hearted of the Irish lads who
live at Throgg's Neck, joked with a
drunken man about McGinty Thursday
night and was shot down for it. Thos. Hart,
who killed him, was a constable of West
Chester, residing with his widowed mother
at Fort Schuyler. A warrant is out for his
arrest, but he has fled for his life. Benia-
min Nelson told this story of what had oc-
CURED. He said he was walking home with
the constable when they saw Rusk. Hart
said:
"How are you, johnny"
Rusk replied: First rate, Tom, Did
you see that fellow that was looking for
you?"
"What fellow was that?" inquired Hart.
why. McGinty." replied Rusk
Here's McGinty," retorted the con-
stable. and drawing his revolver, and with
out ado, he leveled it at Rusk and fired.

WASHINGTON, December 21.-In the
Senate to-day Mr.. Morgan offered a resolu-
tion calling on the President of the United
States for copies of all correspondence be-
tween the United States and Brazil, and Of
all other papers on file in the State Depart
ment relating to the recent change of the
government of Brazil, and said that he de-
sired to submit some remarks.
Mr.. Sherman declined to yield for that
purpose.
Mr.. Morgan-I regard this movement Ito
go into executive SESSION. as a deliberate
attempt to cut us OF from any consideration
ofthe resolution(the one debated Yesterday;
and as the Senator from Ohio is Chairman
of the Committee on Foreign Relations, to
which committee the motion has been made
to refer 1t, / do not think that he is justified
in this course Of action. l propose, on his
motion to go into executive session, to test
the question whether or not there is a voting
quorum here, because if we are not to have
any consideration on this side of the
chamber, shall insist that the other side
suffer just as much by that form of tactics
as we do.
NO QUORUM PRESENT.
Mr.. Sherman disclaimed the imputation,
and said that If the Brazilian resolution
could be debated and voted on, he had not
the least objection; but there was no quorum
present to decide any controverted question.
Mr.. Morgan admitted that in the absence
of quorum his resolution to recognize the
Republic of Brazil would necessarily go
over till after the holidays. but he desired
that the information called for in the resolu-
tion which he now offered might be obtained,
for the purpose of informing the country of
the situation of the Brazilian question in
the State Department. But he wished to
submit, in connection with it, statement
from Mr.. II. w. Hilliard, of Augusta, Ga,
"a former Minister to Brazil), which be had
received from that gentleman this morning,
in the shape or an interview in the Augusta
Chronicle. He also wished to submit the
speech of Mr.. Mendonca, of Brazil. as re-
ported in the morning papers, in response
to the toast, America, ALI Republican"
Mr.. Sherman said that he had no objec-
tion to the adoption of the resolution Just
offered if it were acted upon without dis
cussion.
Mr.. Morgan-If the Senator will allow me
to put into the Record this communication
from Mr.. Hilliard, and also a statement
which will add
WHAT he MIGHT DO.
Mr.. Sherman-I do not think it fair for
the Senator to do that. Let HIM put Mr..
Hilli liard's statement in the Record.
Mr.. Morgan persisted no fnrther, but fur
nished to the official reporters copies Of the
papers containing Mr.. billiards statement
and Mr.. Mendonca's speech, and then his

Although the strikes are not directly
traceable to the operations of the Socialists,
the Government is possessed of information
that they are fomented through a Socialist
committee. The recent strike at Lucken-
walde, was directly due to the Berlin
Committee. Agitation thus active and
demonstrated, will be the basis of
Prince Bismarck's argument in his
forthcoming appeal to the Reichstag to
mass the Socialist bill entirely as it stands
and without enfeebling qualifications. The
Government expects to make pressure
enough upon the National Liberals to force
the withdrawal of their opposition. There
are signs in the National Liberal press that
that party viii accept the expulsion clause
The truth Of the position is that the Ma
tioual Liberals believe they have done
