MR.. HODNErr,s CLAIMS.
He Il After Score Of English Titles and
Estates.

The front Of large and well-nlled envelope
sent to the desk Of the secretary Of the Senate
this morning BY Senator Call was covered
with . good deal Of information, which is ex-
tremely interesting If true. The inscription
states that within the envelope 10 the petition
Of "Hon. John Pope Hodnett requesting the
American government, through the United
States Senate and House Of Repre-
sentatives, to act as an arbitrator
between himself and the English government
Of Great Britain and ireland for the recovery
Of his estates in England, Ireland, Scotland and
Wales, and also his titles in the English. Irish
Scotch and Welsh peerage, involving the earl
dom Of March, the earldom Of Shrewsbury,
the dukedom of Buckingham and
the dukedom of York in England.
the dukedom of Leinster and the dukedom Of
Clarence, the marquisate of Waterford and the
earldoms OF Clare. Muskerry, of Belvaire or
Belfast, and Cork in Ireland. All of which
has been in the possession and was the prop
erty Of his ancestors in England, Ireland. Scot
land and Wales for over 600 years previous to
the confiscation act Of William and Mary in
1891"
The petition itself, which has been referred
to the committee on foreign relations, claims q
good deal more than is stated on the envelope.

special agent Of the Treasury department, who
was sent from Washington to examine into the
condition Of the government building in Chi

From Wall Street Today,

New YORK, April There was no change
from the extreme dullness, but the firm tone
still continued this morning and all the stocks
showing any animation whatever made slight
fractional gains First prices were generally
from to e per cent better than last even
ing's final figures, but the subsequent move
ments, except i'll the cases OF Missouri Pacific
Union Pacific and Rock Island were scarcely
perceptible. Sugar was also exception,
showing some weakness. and IT retired to 63 from
$50 last evening. The market developed no
other feature Of interest and at ii o'clock i,
was still intensely dull and firm at slight fr ac-
tlons better than the opening prices.
