A. jerks, Of. Pennsylvania, who: was
Solicitor General under the Cleveland
administration, and who has been here
for some days this week, to attend to
business before the Supreme Court, Is
enthusiastic over the prospects Of the
Democratic party in 1892. ..
1--WE are just where we should be-" he
said to correspondent. "Until 1883 tho
party had no policy except that Of oppo.
sition to everything Republican. Itwas
a pullback, not a go.ahead party, but on
the issue drawn In the last Presidential
contest, VIC can carry on all aggressive
warfare MS long as there is an enemy In
sight. There is another great advantage
for us in the present situation, and that
is that every convert we make Is moved
by principle, not by mere sentiment Of
self.interest. That means n long and
vigorous life for the party" lD
"Will Mr.. Cleveland be a Presidential
candidate again 1922"
"That is still nearly three years in the
future, and | am not prophet. Mr..
Cleveland has, however, put himself dis.
tinctly ut the head OF the party, and It
cannot ignore the principles he repre-.
sents. No man ever stepped more nobly
into the breach than he did when he
took his stand unequivocally on the
tariff question. 1t was an act at once
statesmanlike, patriotic and politically
far.sighted. discourage has commanded
the admiration even OF Mr.. Clevelands
bitterest foes, and every leader OF the
Republican side who can look ahead
any distance is frightened at tho conso.
quences to that party which musLinevit-
ably ensue. We only need to have the
tariff question fairly debated before the
people to make a Democrat OF every man
who has intelligence enough to follow
the discussion through. II the Demo.
cratic standard bearer in 1892 is not Mr..
Cleveland himself, it is safe to say, at
least, that it will be Democrat persona
flying the same ideas and spirit as he"
Mr.. jerks believes that the Democrats
in the House have right entirely on their
side in their struggle for the rights OF
the minority and that the people will
sustain them. He feels no doubt OF the
result if the question al issue can be
brought into court in the proper man.

WASHINGTON, D. O., Feb. 2.-The
rnmors In circulation during Friday
night and all day Saturday occasionel
much comment and some excitement ia
tho effect that Jackson would dispute
the legality Of the Houses action in
unseating him without a quorum being
present and voting, prove to be un.
founded, 80 far as he is concerned.
Mr.. Jackson states that he proposes 10
abide by tho decision of the House,
whatever 1t Is. So far as can be deter.
mined these rumors had their origin in
the remarks made by Mr.. Pendlcton,
who has taken occasion several times
within the past few days OF excitement
to state his opinion upon the legal cues.

under such circumstances. His position
Is that II member were deprived OF his
seat without full quorum present and
voting he could sue the government for
tho balance Of his salary and perquisites,
obtaining a mandamus against the off.
GERS OF the House from which he was
expelled.
In this view Mr.. Pendleton says he is
sustained by Mr.. Carlisle and Mr.. Crisp,
and 1t was probably from an expression
Of it that the original rumors arose,
Mr.. Pendleton declines to say that he
will put his legal ideas into active prac.

unless the entirely unexpected happens.
Though each side is allowed three hours
in which to conclude its arguments.
Republicans will probably not take
their time. Jackson intends to close in
his own behalf. =.
Chairman Rowell's argument upon
the technical details as to the contested
votes on Saturday was as able rs Dal-
zelps upon the general features OF the
case the day before. The Republican
side has been presented ably and thor.
ouehly.
50 far as the majority is concerned,
there is no need OF prolonging the dis

any, the opposition will develope can
not now be determined, but it is safe to
predict that there will be more interest.

put tomorrow.
Further consideration OF Atkinson's

present intention is to have it called up
afterward as promptly US Smiths.

New YoRK, Feb. IA tremendous
riot occurred to-day in the vicinity OF St.
Adelbert's church in the second Polish
parish at East Buffalo, which requir-

to quell. None were killed, but several
policemen were more or less injured by
bricks and other missiles, and the leader
OF the rioters, a Polish woman, name
unknown, was badly hurt. The riot
was continuation Of the demonstra'
ton Of disfavor with which Father

Isnnk Troubles.

A Now Sensation Connected with New York
Hnnk Troubles.
New YORK, Feb. 2.-Out OF the pres
ent bank troubles and indirectly con-
nected with them has come another SEN
sation. There is woman in the case,
too, none other than Loie Fuller, the &C.
treas, now in London. Miss Fuller is
the we'll known hurlesque actress. For
her it is said a man, high in business
circles, bank president, has thrown
away money by the thousands pledged
to pay for shares OF stock OF bank OF
which he was an incorporation. The VIC
tim, as alleged, is no other than the late
President OF the late knickerbocker
Bank, Colonel William B. Hays. 1t was
last spring that the Knickerbocker bank
was organized. Colonel VIM. B. Hays,a
supposed wealthy man, was elected Pres
ident, and subscribed his name on the
books Tor s25, 900 worth OF stock. Months
dragged on, but the bank was
not incorporated, and subscribers
began to get uneasy, and demand
ed back money that had been paid in on
stock. Finally the bank was incor-
porated, and it was discovered that Hays
had not paid in the money. What fol.
lowed is best told in the interview with
A:.EA. Courier, the cashier Of the Equita-
Bile Bank, which succeeded tho organiza-
ton Of the Knickerbocker. 1t was very
difficult to induce Mr.. Courier to
speak, for he has been assailed III
the papers rs the cause OF the wreck
Of the Equitable Bank and thus precipi-
tating the smash.up OF the three banks.
For Mrs. Hays sake he told reporter
he preferred to remain silent, us the poor
woman had all she could do to bear up
under her troubles, Yet he felt that his
own reputation should be cleared up
and vindicated. Mr.. Courier was found
at the Equitable Bank yesterday and
said: ,' E
Colonel Hays was introduced to me
as wealthy man who commanded i'm
mense capital and who controlled large
deposits. Iywas at that time organizing
the Knickerbocker Bank, aud thought
that Hays would be good man to have
in the bank.
"Hays fell in with the proposition,
and said that we could sell shares OF
stock and be would take all that was left
unsold. He gave me q check Tor SOS, ,0oV,
dated ten days ahead. 5a' !
Later he took back the check and
gave me another one dated still ten days
ahead. / thought nothing OF the check
matter, as l did not need the money
on the minute. The bank was not then
formed.
"Thc day before the bank was organ
lied Colonel Hays took back the second
check and told me that be would pay the
amount on demand cash. l supposed
him wealthy aud lot it 60 that way"
"The Knickerbocker was opened )"
continued Mr.. Courier. "Hays failed to
pay up, but repeated his promises.
Then came the theatrical venture, by
which Hays took up Loie Fuller, the
actress, and tried to launch her company
in London. &.

first on the committee, called it to order,
all the members being present. On mo-
ton Of Delegate Chew (Democrat), SEN

and Capt. H. @. McWhorter appeared for
Mr.. Stollings. After waiting for Dele
gate Harr until $40 o'clock he put in
an appearance. Chairman Price sng-
gested that the first thing to decide was
whether the investigation should be
public. Senator Scott moved that the
investigation be public. Delegate Chew
thought that the committee should sit
with closed doors, 80 that one witness
could not hear what other witnesses
might say. Mr.. Hubbard said that for
General Goff he would insist on open
doors. Witnesses could be excluded as
in court. =
Delegates Shaw and Moore took the
same view. Chairman Price said the

Only 25 wells were completed during

three dry holes. Oil was found in 81 OF
the wells completed. They furnish s65

list in the Washington pool is greatly re-.
duced. Canonsburg is fairly actiue. Tay.

work. Quite an important development
is in grogress in the vicinity OF ClaysyilIe,
The inclement weather and the terriblo
condition Of the roads has done much
to retard operations as well as to make
