WASHINGTON, Jan. 2. - Ex-senator
Blanche K Bruce is here. He feels fiat
tered by the mention of his name in connec-
ton with place in Gen. Harrison's cabinet,
as the representative of that colored vote
which elected Gen. Harrison, but he has No
expectation that Gen. Harrison will so
honor him. Neither has any other colored
leader. If any of them was even likely
to be a cabinet officer it would likely be

Praised-Digna's Harem.
SUAKIM, Jan. "A parade was held here
to-day by the Egyptian officers and men
who had been especially commended by the
khedive for the b. avery displayed by them

A deserter from the rebels says that Os-
man Digna tried to send the members of
ais harem to Suakim, apparently fearing
trouble with the dervishes, and that Arab
scouts stopped the women and sent them
back to Hadoub. The dervishes, the de-
serter says, have become suspicious and ac-
cuse the men of treachery.
Scouts mounted ol camels and spearmen
afoot were observed this morning from an
outlying fort.

ARBITRATION FOR THE POPE.
Gladstore's Disclaimer Fails to Con
vince London Editors.

LONDON, Jan. 2.-Mr. Gladstone's tele-
gram disclaiming the accuracy Of the
translation of his letter suggesting that the
position of the pope be made the subject of
international arbitration, has led to consid-
cradle correspondence on the subject, which
will appear in the Tablet tomorrow. Mr.
Cox, edi or of the Tablet, says that the let
ter from Mr.. Gladstone clearly refers to the
present position Of the pope and he places
side by side Mr. Gladstone's letter in Italian
and the transl tion in En- dish, proving the
accuracy of the translation which Mr..
Gladstone declared untrustworthy
HIS WORDS.
MIR. Gladstones words, in writing to the
Marquis de Riso, are as follows: 81 con-
slider the question of the pope's position of
such Importance as to merit the interven-
tion of an international arbitration. l
boast that I was the promoter of the inter
national arbitration in connection wi the
Alabama question. By such a method it
would be possible to unlock the difficulty
relating to the vatican"
The Pail Mall Gazette upholds the accu-
racy Of the translation, and asks Mr.. Glad
stone to explain what he means if he does
not mean international arbitration on the
pope's position.

A Message on the Subject from the
President.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2,-The presiding
officer laid before the Senate this afternoon
message from the President in regard to
the correspondence on the subject of the
treaty with China that was pending last
September. The reading of the me sage
was interrupted by Mr.. Sherman, who sug-
gested that it referred to an executive mat
ter. The presiding officer said that it had
been sent to the Senate in legislative session,
but that it would be laid on the table for
further examination. Tho Senate then
adjourned.
The correspondence submitted with the
message contained nothing new except the
translation OF a pher message dated Sept.
81, saying that China would not consent
ratify the treaty unless further time was
given for discussion of the proposition to
lessen the term of restriction.

sofas in conversation with fellow-membsrs.

but the best that Senator Teller could tell
them was that he didn't believe

Senator Hiscock, who later in the day left

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2.--In the House to-
day in consideration of the morning hour
Mr.. Mason OF Indiana, on behalf of the
committee on invalid pensions, called up
the bill prohibiting any agent or attorney
from receiving a fee for securing an in
crease of pension on account of an increase
of the disability for which the pension was
originally granted, or for securing a specia
act of congress in cases whore a pension
might be obtained under the general pen

PAY OF COKE WORKERS.

PITTsBURG, Jan. 2.-There are indica-

The workman's new scale, based on 1.35
coke and providing for an advance of 4
cents in wages with every 10 cents advance
per ton in the price Of coke, caused consid-
cradle comment among coke operators to-
lay, and just what the result will be is a
matter of conjecture. The coke workers

to secure the price they have demanded.

PAY OF MARSHALS.
What the Appropriations for the Fis-
cal Year Requires.

WASHINGTON, jan. "A provision in
the executive, legislative and judicial ap-
preparation bill for the fiscal year 1889, re-
quires that 1915 900 of the appropriation
for marshals shall be kept in the treasury
to be paid out on adjusted accounts only.
This provision will compel marshals to bor-
row money at interest to pay their deputies
while waiting for u settlement of their ac-
counts, or else to eInpioy men who will wait
for their pay.
MARSHAL BoYKIN's PROTEST.
In connection with this matter, Attorney
General Garland to-day sent to the House
letter from :, e. NJ B ykin,
United States marshal for the
district of South Carolina, in which
the marshal says that strict enforcement of
this provision II the law in his district, if
continued much longer, will practically
result in the suspension OF the ex-
cution of the revenue laws unless
the Objectionable features of the law
are repealed, or SO amended as TO apply
the necessary correction. He says it
is not his purpose to charge ac-
counting officers with dereliction of
duty, or with undue faithfulness in the dis
charge Of their important and onerous du
ties, but he does not hesitate to say that he
cannot come 30 his deputies to perform their
very unpopular and oft-times dangerous
duties and to wait for their pay
for months until their accounts
are finally adjusted. The men mus
live, and simply to reimburse them
or advance money expended Gin making
cases will not be sufficient inducement for
them to continue in the service. The ia
justice inflicted upon marshals in forcing
them to advance money from their private
means to have the work done is too appar-
ent to require comment, he says, and he
asks congress for some relief.
