Anti ti-Gerrymandering and Service Pen
sion Bills Discussed.
WASHINGTON, April 29.-The Republi-
can caucus tonight considered the Nc
Comas bill, commonly known as the
anti Gerrymandering bill, and the Nor
rill Service Pension bill.
McComas explained his bill and re-
ferred to the action of the Maryland and
Ohio Legislatures as indicative of the
need for immediate action on the sub
ject.
Lodge, of Massachusetts, endorsed Nc
Comas's views.
Kennedy, OF Ohio, and Frank, of Mis-
souri,, opposed the bill. The latter said
it was retroactive, and would be in
vidious and unpopular, transferring to
the National Congress the odious species
of gerrymandering which now and then
the States resort to without effecting any
purpose.
The debate continued fully two hours,
and the matter finally went over.
There was a long discussion on the
Morrill, bill, which was finally amended
by the proposition to fix the age OF
limitation at 60 years.

ceptible Rancher.

SAN JOSE, April 29.-S. D. Hosmer, a
rancher residing on the Mountain View
and Saratoga road, was swindled out OF
$1,000 by two sharpers. One said he
was real estate agent, and
the other claimed he was Lou
isiana lottery agent, giving his name
as Clark. Clark said he conducted the
drawing himself when the tickets were
bought, and induced Hosmer to invest.
The latter drew 81 900 price, but was
told that before it was paid he must
show he was worth $1,000. He had
$265 with him, and went to
Santa Clara and drew 500 more.
Clark said he did not have enough
money with him to pay the prize, but
would return the next day. He induced
Hosmer to put 81 900 in tin box, and
hide it under the floor of his house.
Clark did not return, and today when
Hosmer examined the box he found a
lot of nails instead of money.

France of persons charged with melting
workingmen to riot and pillage May 1st.
There have been further arrests at

incite workmen to violence. The police
visited the houses of number of sus-
poets, and seized explosives and num-
Der of letters from conspirators in other
cities.
Forty more anarchists, among them
an Italian named Capriani, were ar
rested today for attempting to create dis
orders by the workingmen. The an
archist committee has resolved that the
orders of the police for the regulation of
the demonstrations Thursday will be
obeyed by the anarchists.
The Temps says the police discovered
in the Marquis De Mores's house printed
documents designed to incite working
men to disorder, and found in Dumont's s
house a secret press manifesto urging
the troops to mutiny. They also ascer-
tanned that certain anarchists intended
to throw dynamite in order to effect a
bloody revolution on May day.
The Marquis DeMores was examined
and remanded. He is charged with in
citing murder, pillage and arson and re-
volt in the army. Soldiers revealed
seditious pamphlets, which led to his
arrest. 1t is stated that the Marquis
De Mores and friends were engaged in a
plot to proclaim the Duke of Orleans,
with the assistance of the revolving an
archists and Blanquists, who were in
cited by the Protectionist spirit of the
Chamber of Deputies as tending to in
crease the price of necessaries. The
plotters counted upon the neutrality OF
the higher grades in the army, among
whom dissatisfaction existed because q
civilian was appointed Minister OF War
The police assert that the Rhine anar-
chists have stores of dynamite cartridges
concealed.
1t is reported that Naquet, Deroulede
and Laguerre, the noted Boulangists,
are on the island of Jersey, making ar
rangements for Boulanger's return to
