kansns City Workhouse.
KANSAS CITY, March 9.-The charges
made by Alderman Ford concerning the
frightful condition of the prisoners confined
in the work house are found to be true. Two
reporters investigated the matter yesterday
afternoon and find that about IS male pris-
oners are crowded into narrow and filthy
cells reeking with vermin and not provided
with sanitary regulations. The men are
constantly manacled with shackles weighing
from to 13 pounds, and are therefore pre-
vented from bathing. Two of the
prisoners said they had not taken
u bath for two months. Many
of the cells are five feet long, and in some OF
them are confined men six feet tall. For
these rs prisoners are two guards. The
guards say that on account of the desperate
character Of the men, it is necessary to
shackle them to prevent their escape so long
as they alone have to guard them and they
remain in their present quarters. The
building is of wood, and the partitions are
thin.
The committee appointed to investigate
the matter will report at tomorrow nights
Council meeting. 1t is thought likely that
a new brick prison will be erected, provided
with proper sanitary regulations suffi-
cient number Of guards to watch the prison.

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATcH.I
BOSTON, March 9.-President Soden, of the
Boston Club, came back from the League meet
ing in Cleveland completely used up and mad
as hornet. He was on the Schedule Com
mittee, and that was bad enough, but in addi-
tiOn to that he was one of those appointed to
labor with President Brush, of the 1ndianap-
oils Club, with a view to inducing him TO with
draw gracefully from the National League. 1t
home thoroughly disgusted When asked if
he was satisfied with the WORK of his Schedule
Committee he replied:
well, should say not But what could we
do otherwise? Brush was bound to stick, and
we were forced TO go ahead on the scale of a
ten club circuit. To be sure, under the busi-
ness agreement between the club members we
could have dropped him with or without his
consent, but we did not want to proceed in
that way. for Brush is a good fellow and has
done well for the League and we wanted him
to be satisfied with whatever was done. We
couldn't move him, however. AL Spauldlng,
Mr.. Robinson and were appointed commit
tee to try and make terms with him and We
labored with him for good many hours His
position was that he had got nothing to sell to
the League. that he wanted to stay In the or
ganizatlon and that was all he had to say, and
1t was all we could get out of him. We could
not get him to make an offe. We made HIM
several offers on behalf of the League, but he
refused them all on the ground that he had
nothing to sell. One of our committee asked
him if he would take $4,000 for his franchise
no franchise to SELL We had in the meantime
made out ten-club schedule and, finding that
Brush was immovable, we adopted it and went
home"

| ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH,
| MONTREAL, March 9.-The suit Of
Thomas P Waterhouse against Lillian
Eacott began in the Superior Court on
Monday Waterhouse, in his declaration,
alleges that he came from England, where
his family hold a high commercial position,
last May. On an excursion steamer last
July he met Miss Eacott, and continued her
acquaintance until October, when she asked
him to marry her. He refused Then she
threatened to force him. but still he refused.
She sent Rev. Mr.. Dixon to him,
but still he refused. Finally she
went to the Society for the Protection
of Women and Children, who also
tried to induce him to marry her. He
refused. The society's lawyers wrote to him
and threatened arrest if he did not marry
her.
Finally he was arrested on a capias for
$500 damages to Miss Eacott, and while in
Jail was visited by Mr.. Marshall, Secretary
Of the Society for the Protection OF Women
and Children. He first refused, but eventu-
ally, when told that as he had no money to
pay the $500 and no money to obtain bail,
indefinite period he consented to marry the
girl. He was then released and was es-
corted to jewelers. store to buy wedding
ring with the money advanced him by one
of the lawyers, and then to a notary sJayhere
q marriage license and marriage contract,
settling on the girl $4,000, was made out.
Finally he was taken to the Rev. Mr..
Dixon's house. where he was married to
her. He now wishes to be freed from his
partner, whom he says he never intended to
marry, and never would have married had
he had another alternative than marriage or
Jail for many years.
The girl, he says, is servant, and her
social standing is not what he has right to
expect in his wife. He therefore prays to
have the marriage annulled. On the side
of Miss Eacott it is alleged that the young
man HAD absolute liberty, that he was
shown what the result of his refusal to
marry her would be, and he then volun-
tarily married her.

WASHINGTON, March 9.-The uncer-
tainty surrounding the disposition of the
questions raised by the recent consideration
of executive session matters makes it i'm
possible to forecast with any degree of
accuracy the work of the Senate for this
week. Senator Dolph's committee will to-
morrow resume the Interrogation under oath
of members of the Senate respecting their
connection with "leaks'' in the past, and
the report of their discoveries may precipi-
tate another discussion similar to that of
last week.
So much of the time of the Senate was
taken up with the discussion that the Blair
educational aid bill was not disposed of, and
it still heads the calendar as unfinished
business.
A VOTE WANTED.
A very general feeling exists in favor of
closing this debate this week and to take a
vote on the bill, if possible. Mr.. Evarts
will close the debate in support of the meas
ure. The report of the Committee on Priv
ileges and Elections on the Montana case is
likely to be made this week, but the debate
that must ensue will not begin until the
Blair bill is out of the way. The urgent
deficiency appropriation bill will be reported
from the Committee on Appropriations this
week.
Senator Sanford will offer resolution to-
morrow instructing the Finance Committee
to investigate and report upon the ex-
pediency and desirability of the Government
loaning money upon real estate mortgage at
a nominal rate of interest, or Q per cent
per annum, retaining the right to cali in a
certain proportion of the loans when oc-
casion demands.
In the morning hours the Oklahoma town
site bill may be considered, and further
progress made in the execution of the order
to dispose of pubic building and bridge
bills on the calendar.
MORE STATES TO BE MADE.
The work of the House this week will
flag. The District of Columbia Committee
will occupy tomorrow in the disposition of
measures relating to local affairs, and after
that the Oklahoma bill will be taken up
and passed upon finally as far as the House
is concerned. Then, according to notice al
ready given, the Territories Committee
will present for the consideration of the
House the bill to admit Wyoming as
State of the Union, and this will be followed |
by the Idaho bill, ii any time remains.
The Committee on Elections desires to |
call up the contested election case of Mudd |
versus Compton, from Maryland, but will |
only do SO, according to present arrange |
ment, if it can be done without interfering |
with the Statehood bills already mentioned. |

glish syndicate which are quietly buying
all the breweries, Touring mills, stock
yards, etc., ct al. in the United States have
now turned their attention to the iron

cured, which is more than probable.

so, and within week was well of my

HAMMOND WANTS MORE MONEY.
And If He Donf Get it Pretty Soon He Will
Talk.


Talk.
SEATTE, WASH, March 9.-Charles r.
Hammond, the man who knows more than
anybody else about the famous London
scandals, is being cut of in his supply Of
blood money, and he objects. He said yes
terday that unless certain people prominent
in London kept faith with him and cabled
money to him by Tuesday of this week he
would say something that would place them
in very bad light. The words of Hammond
were as follows:
The time for denials from one side and the
other is past and if Lord Euston and Mr.. Hugh
Weglen knew what was to their interest they
would communicate Immediately by cable to a
person known to them by initial &c" and
whose present residence is 223215 Front street,
Seattle. Hugh Weglen is the son of a man
who occupies an exceptional position in the
financial world of the British capital.
It is observed from these remarks that
Hammond wants money, and also that what
ever he may have said heretofore about his
not being the man who kept the house on
Cleveland street, was untrue. He has torn
off all semblance OF silence and now promises
to reveal the names of men high in life.
Seattle is undoubtedly the most interesting
place in the United States just now to GER
tain men on Downing street, London, and

1t Looks Like Eight.

The general opinion throughout the National
League cities is that the League will start its
season with only eight clubs. President Young
has the power to call a meeting at any time, as
the recent meeting was simply adjourned.
League partisans, who claim to be on the in
side track state that it is dollars to dimes that
a meeting will be called between now and
April &c, and that two of the ten clubs will re-
tire, or be forced out. The sooner the change
is made the better for the League.
