Delegate Dubois to Make the Argument Before

WASHINGTON, Jan S.-Delegate Dubois,

The Fair in the House.

WASHINGTON, Jan. S.-The action of the
House committee on foreign affairs in de-
Gliding to consider the worlds fair bill, has
caused a lively commotion among the re
personalities of the cities striving to Sc
cure the fair The impression is growing
that the Chicago people have scored an ad-
vantage in getting the bill before a commit
tee supposed to lean in their favor, and
other claim ants are resentful over what
they regard as breach of TIE spirit of the
agreement entered into by The four cities.
This morning Representative Flower saw
Speaker Reed, and getting him to call
several members of the committee on
rules together, earnestly requested, on
behalf of New York, Washington and
st. Louis that immediate provision be
made for the appointment of a select com
mittee to consider the worlds fair bill and
relieve the foreign affairs committee of its
self-imposed duty. The committee on rules
will probably act on the request to morrow.
At present some of the members think
well of the proposition to report to the
House something in the nature of set in
structions to the foreign affairs committee
which will direct it to formulate a bill
setting the time for the worlds fair and
making suitable appropriation to meet
the expenses, but leaving to the House the

KANSAS CITY, Jan. s.-A Liberty, Mo-,

James Luyton by ex-County Attorney
Sheets yesterday and the cause of the
quarrel between the two men became
known today. Luyton was brick mason
from Barry, Ills. Last August he mar
ried, and after brief bridal tour returned
here in search of work, stopping at the
house of his brother in-law, Robert Co
hern, where his young bride met Sheets.
An attachment sprung up between them

Ohio senatorship Contest.

COLUMBUS, Ohio, Jan. S.-The senator
ship canvass waged earnestly to-day There
is rumor that the opposition to Brice will
make final effort tonight. A number of
prominent gentlemen arrived from Cleve-
land Today, and in connection with the
anti-Brce men here are trying to form
combination to unite the field against
Brice. At the headquarters of the respect
i've candidates this afternoon nothing new
was to be ascertained. Brice's manager
did not seem to be in the least disturbed by
the arrival of the Cleveland gentlemen,
nor did they appear to be concerned about
the proposed meeting of the opposition.
Mcmahon thinks the prospects look
brighter, while Thomas appears serene and
content over The outlook.
The most important development tonight
is an address prepared by Judge Blandin,
of Cleveland, 20 the members of the legis-
lative calling upon them to not elect man
to the Senate who is identified with cor
porations. The appeal is signed by A. w.

The subject is attracting very consider

in favor of the coercive measure proposed
by Mr.. Chandler in the Senate relative
to states which fail in making proper
efforts to apprehend and punish murderers

letter might have been suggested by or in
itiated from one which had been sent out
by Mr.. Whitaker, of Martinsville, In
diana, chairman of the Democratic county
committee, on the 9TH day of September,
1888, and which was recently published in
an editorial in the Terre Haute Express.
The Dudley letter seemed to be a child or
twin sister Of this Whitaker letter, which
he sent to the clerks desk aud had read.
Edmunds continued: Now, this Whita-
ker letter may be a forgery, but its like
ness to the so-called Dudley letter is so
perfect and peculiar, that I should be
bound to say. if l were a juror. that the
man who wrote it on the 1th of Septem
Der, wrote the Dudley letter and palmed it
off as letter from the national Republi-
can ommittee"
Edmunds then brancbed off on the CUES
ton of recent political crimes in Indiana
and spoke CT the forgery of the "tally

for which Coy, a member of the common
council, was sent to the penitentiary for
eighteen months; how the Democratic
members of the common council refused to
vote for his expulsion and how be drew his
pay as member of the common council at
the same time he was serving his country
in the penitentiary. He also offered no
statement as to the inmates of the poor
house and insane asylum being taken to the
polls in Marion county under the direction
of Miller, a former Democratic treasurer
OF the county, where every one of them
voted the straight Democratic ticket.
These, he said, were some samples of what
had been sent to him. They were mot
peculiar to Indiana, but they had been going
on as systamatized, persistent, organized
party of frauds, on the part of the people
who call themselves Democats and Demo
cratic organizations, which might have led
somebody in Indiana to follow the Martins

and he hoped the Senate would not stop
until corruption and dishonesty at elections
should be utterly cast away.
Mr. Voorhees, said the Senator from
Vermont held a brief for the attorney
general, and spoke for him. The Senator
had been coached very thoroughly this
morning by the attorney genral in person.
The Martinsville letter was nothing at a
discount. There was no such letter. AS
to the Coy case, he had been sent to the
penitentiary for eighteen months in the
worst, most partisan, unfair and malicious
court organized since the days of Jeffries
But Coy had returned with pardon, so
far as the fine was concerned, which public
opinion had forced upon PresidentHarrison b
So Infamous were the rulings of Judge
Woods, who sent Coy to the peniten-

amendment was agreed to by party vote
