DRINKING AT THE CAPITOL.
Why Senator Plumb Introduced His
Prohibition Resolution.

There has been lots Of chatter at the Capitol
today over Senator Plumb's resolution instruct
ing the committee on rules to put stop to the
sale and consumption Of Intoxicating LIQUORS
in the Senate wing Of the big house on the hill.
Almost every one conversant with the IN
ternal workings OF the Senate restaurant knows
that, for months past, employees have been
partaking with more than reasonable freedom

WHAT SENATOR PLUMB SAYS.
Speaking OF the resolution to STAR reporter
Senator Plumb said this afternoon that the
open sale of liquor by the drink in the United
States Capitol was an unseemiy thing. to

TREATS" AND THEIR RESULTS.
Employees OF the Senate say that 1t is mat
ter of frequent occurrence for clerks, mes
sengers and laborers to gather in the restau-

THE RUMORED SURRENDER.
The Men at Buffalo to be Taken Back
at Once.

0lBurFALo, MY, August 19.-The Erening
Ne,es. in an extra edition, has this to say anent
the reported ending of the Central strike:
Supt. Burrows shortly after noon today re-
ceived dispatch from General Mana
ger Toucy in New York ordering him
to reinstate the men now out on strike. This
ends the strike SO far as Buffalo is concerned.
1t is understood the news was entirely unex-
pected by Mr.. Burrow.
1t is also understood here that Mr. Webb had
a conference with the labor leaders this morn
ing. This statement is made on the authority
OF a director of the road in this city.
A reporter made an effort to see Superintend-
ent Burrows upon the announcement Of this
report. Mr.. Burrows sent word that
he was in communication with New York
and did not wish to say anything just
then, but would have a statement later. 1t is
also learned that Mr.. Develin of the
knights OF Labor has received
an important cipher dispatch from
New York which he will make public as
soon ii is translated.
NEW YORK, August 19.-Grand Central Off
cials in this city say: Some men at Buffalo
have been taken back, but only as individuals
and not as members of any organization.
The labor organizations have not been recog-
nized any more than heretofore.

CAPITOL UNDERGRADUATES.
A New Move by Friends of the Elec-
tion Bill-Committee Notes, Etc.

paper was in circulation on the floor Of
the House today addressed BY Republican
members to the committee on rules reciting
the necessity for final action by Congress
upon the national election bill and ex-
pressing the willingness of the signers
to continue the present session until
such action is had Representative Kennedy
of Ohio circulated the paper, and it was re-
ported that more than forty republican sigma
lures had been attached before the House met
at noon. The southern republicans, who have
been protesting most strongly against the Quay
resolution, have SO far refrained from any
united action, and it would appear that the
counsel of the leading spirits to avoid Sec
tional move and to cast their lot with the ma
jority of the party will prevail.

THE DEPENDENT PENSIONS ACT.
Already 372,931 Applications Have
Been Received at the Pension Office.

The number of applications received at the
Pension Ofice for pensions under the depend
ent pension bill is now 372 931. OF this number
"a, 472 were informal and were returned. Since
the 9th of June, when the bill became a law,
the applications have some days gone as high
or 10000. The number received yesterday
was about 1000, and this daily average, with
probably slight decrease, will be continued
for some time. 1t was estimated when the
dependent bill was before Congress that the
number Of cases would be about 800, 900. This
estimate has already been exceeded and
the end is not yet. It is stated however, that
quite large percentage of the applicants will
be unable to make good case. Some progress
has been made toward beginning the adjudica-
ton of these claims, and it is expected
that calls will soon be made on the War De-
partment for evidence usually required in such
cases. 1t Is expected that Congress will au-
thorize a large increase in the clerical force Of
the Pension Office

THIS AFTERNOON,
A Prodisious Strike Expected to be
Declared at Once.

NEW YoRK. August LIT is said that Mr..
Sergeant will at once call upon Mr.. Webb and
get his versions as to how the 6remen have
been treated. MIR. Hayes was spoken to by re-
porter this morning but refused to say any
thing beyond the fact that q conference would
be held at the instigstion OF Mr.. Sergeant. MIR.
Sergeant, Mr.. Hayes said, would be authorized
to speak for The leaders end great deal de-
pended upon Mr.. Sergeant's views 1t
seems to be the general opinion of the men
that Mr.. Webs action in refusing to arbitrate
will result in the train conductors, fremen and
switchmen being crlled out and a prodigious
strike declared this afternoon
The conference, il is true, will have no juris-
diction over the Brotherhood Of Locomotive
Engineers, but at the same time il is one of the
rules Of the Brotherhood that they will not
and cannot work with non-union men,
SO that il the fremen should 60 on strike as q
matter of course there would be nothing left
for the engineers but to quit work also.

Big Duty on German Playing Cards.

The collector Of customs at New York as
sessed duty at the rate of 100 per cent ad
valorem on a recent importation of German
playing cards, commercially known as "Taroc
Spielkarten' and "Deutsche Spielkarten."
The importers appealed from this
decision and claimed that the
cards are entitled to entry as printed matter"
They said that the cards are not such as are
used and commonly known in this country as
playing cards, and that they can be used only
in playing certain games not known
in this country. The collector re-
ported that they are similar
In design to ordinary playing cards and are
readily adaptable to all uses that such cards are
put TO by the simple omission of such cards as
are superduous. The department holds that
they are in fact playing cards and sustains the
