Divided Opinion Regarding the

DON'T SEE THEIR WAY CLEAR
To Cut Down Representation In Some

WAsuIsGToS, D. c., Dec. 5.-The
Democrats arc now in scrious consulta.
ton on thosnbject Of the apportionment
bill. It still remains 10 bs settled
whether Or not tho critics Of the census
will be 0bla to so discredit Mr. Porter's
work as to defeat re.apportionment
at this ses.ioa.- Democrats think that
the hearing before tho Census Commit

u decided influence on the question. II
they should succeed in compelling 4 re.
count OF New York city, /. might send
the whole apportionment question over
until the next Congress. The Demo.

the best interest of the Dem.
ocrNts, all things considered,
according to Mr.. Holman, a
member OF tho Comnittee, ia the present
number, 333, but it seems impossible to
unite the Democrats in support Of n
measure liking thia as the number for
tho reasoA that Indiana, Mary ylAnd, Ken.
tucky, Tennessee and South Carolina,
would each lose member. The Demo
Gratis from these States do not see their
way clear 10 voting for the reduction Of
their State delegation, though it will
benefit the whole South. The Republi.
cans are expected to take advantage Of
this state oil Affairs and propose to fix
the membership AZ 3iS, which will save
these States from any loss but give the
Republicans an immense advantage. 1t
will be difficult 10 induce the Democrats
OF States Affected from voting for the
larger number and the party leaders are
greatly perple2ed by the situation in
which they Gnd themselves.

ALBANY, N. Y, Dec. 5.-The lumbe
district was in ferment Of excitemen
yesterday. Early in tho morning 1t be
came noised about that one Of thu
largest firms in the district, that OF Henr,
W. Sage K Co., composed Of Dean, Sag'
and ". II. Sage, had been swinded ou
OF between $4,000 and $tOo,000 by I
trusted ok.keeper. Creditors OF thu
firm who had suffered loss through the
book-keeper werc on hand to secure thu
book-keeper's arrest and tho case war
given to the police. They failed to iird
their man.
Late in the afternoon the body ol
Joseph Abbott, the defau!ting book,
keeper, was discovered in m unused
room IN tho Windsor hotel. Beside il
was Il bottle OF laudanum, half emp.icd.
Abbott was about forty years old, and
had worked for the firm for many years.
He received salary OF 5000 fnd com
missions amounting to $1,000 and So.
900 yearly. lie lived very extruvn.
gantly, and WAS noted Tor the lavish
manner In which he threw money
about. He 10 also reported te,hayc los.
heavily at the gaming table. Tho dis
covery OF his peculations was made by
Dir. Sage, who, in looking over tho
books. found Charles Il. Riley & Co., OF
Philadelphia. indebted to his firm In
the sum OF $1,000. He thought this re.
and caused q statement to bs
sent them. Word came back that tho
books should show a slight credit in
favor Of the Philadelphia firm rather
than debit. An expert was put on the
books and he is still engaged in his task.
So fur he fluids that the stcalings extend
over several years, snd he estimates
that they will not fail short Of $50. 900 in
the aggregate.
