REVENUE FRAUDS.
Special Agent Whitehead Reports
to Secretary Window,

WASHINGTON, Dec. 29.-Secretary
Window to-day received the report of
Special Agent Whitehead in regard to
alleged frauds or the revenue in the
matter of goods shipped from Canada,
but he refused to disclose the character
Of its contents for the reason that it ap-
piled snlely to the consular and did not
reflect in the slightest degree upon the
treasury customs service. He had
therefore referred the report to the sec
rotary of state for such action as he
thought necessary. 1t was learned at
the state department that the report of
DR.. st. Clair. of the consular bureau,
who conducted the investigation in
behalf of that department, had not
yet been submitted and that nothing
would be MADE public in regard to
the results of the investigation in
advance of its receipt. 1t is now said
that the published reports in regard to
the matter are generally exaggerated,
and that while irregularities were found
in the consular service, as recently adj
ministered in Canada, the resultant
losses to the government, through I'M
der valuation or otherwise. are nothing
like the amount stated in some of the
papers, viz, million dollars.

Congressman Lehlbach Not in

WASHINGTON, Dec. 29.-About two
weeks ago Chairman Owen. of the
house committee ON immigration, was
authorized by majority of the men,
berS of his committee to report COM
prehenSive bill to the house amendatory
of the present contract labor and immi-
grafton laws. The bill Mr.. Owen
thought a conservative measure, and al
though two of the members of the COM
mlttee were not present, he believed 1t
would commend itself to them. Some
thing of misunderstanding. however.
has been Occasioned by the agreement
to report the bill, and it has
never been submitted to the house
and will be hung up q while
longer. One of the absent MEM
berS was Mr.. Lehlbach, of New
Jersey, who at that time was absent on
the Pacific slope engaged in an in
yestigation of the methods by
which Cinnamon are Smuggled
into the United States. Mr.. Lehlbach
has very decided opinions upon this
subject of restricting immigration. and

to Scrutinize very rigidly, if not to OPP

lect the erection of barriers to complete

States. MIR. Lehlbach, as soon as he
heard of the action of the committee,
protested against anything being done
in his absence and declared that unless
this had been his belief he would never
have gone to California to inquire into
the Chinese problem. 1t was in conse-
quence of this protest that MIR. Owen
held up his report. which will not be
made to the house until Mr.. Lehlbach

Mr.. ScuIIy Holds That ParnelPs
Offense Is Non-Political.
DUBLIN, Dec. 29.-Vincent Scully,
who was recently defeated by Sir John
Pope HenneSsy in the contest for North
Kilkenny's seatin parliament, has writ
ten letter to the Freeman's Journal
in which he says that the attitude of
the Irish bishops before and during
the election referred to only shows that
MIR. Parnell committed private vice."
and allowed judgment by default to be
delivered against him, and therefore he
has been pronounced to be no longer
eligible to position of public trust.
Continuing. Mr.. Scully says that the
Irish struggle is essentially political,
and not a moral one, struggle for
leave for the irish to manage Irish
affairs after their own fashion. The
struggle is one of pounds. shillings and
pence, and not of the Sacraments.
AthlOne, RoScommon and Westmeath

placarded in all prominent places. It
states that true freshmen have resolved
to support their independence and that

adds that
The fatherland is threatened by a calamity
surprising a thousand coercion acts-the
lowering OF the flag of independence on the
vague promises of British statesman. Irish
history teens with disaster resulting from
reliance placed upon English promises.
The proclamation, continuing, asks
the people TO sustain the tried policy of
the Independent party in parliament,
adding that
With the people of ireland and America

Republican Cloture May EncOun-
ter Obstacles

Republican Cloture May EncOun-
ter Obstacles,
WASHINGTON, Dec. 29.-IndicationS
are not wanting to evidence the purpose
of the majority on the elections bill,
which has occnpi ID the time of the sem
ate since it assembled, nearly month
ago. ar. Aldrich'S move this afternoon
was one step in the direction of the exc
cution of the wishes of his Republican
colleagues, and the comment made by
Senator CockTell upon Mr.. Aldrlch's
proceeding shows that the Democratic
senators are fully aware Of the purpose
of the enemy, and have at last reluct-
antly arrived at the conclusion that
that there will be determined effort
made to adopt the closure rule, and to
press the elections bill TO a speedy de-
termination. Mr.. Aldrich to-day refused
to allow the closure resolution TO be re-
ferred to the committee on rules, or at
least secured the same result by asking
that it lie over under the rule. His
purpose was to prevent the considera-
ton and detention of the new rule in
committee; for, owing to the absence of
Senator ingalls,, the committee on rules
is now evenly divided as to politics,
and it might be possible for the Demo-
cratic members of the committee to de-
lay the rule indefinitely before . report
could be ordered upon it. The Repub-
lican senators want to have the rule in
such position that it can be reached at
short notice, and this wish has been
met by Mr.. Aldrich'S conduct Of the
matter to-day. The purpose is to let
the resolution 60 on the calendar, from
which it can be taken up at any time by
an affirmative vote of a majority of the
senate
MIR. Stewards notice given In the sem
ate that he would tomorrow call up the
financial bill, reported by the committee
on finance, gave rise to some Specula-
ton as to the effect of his action
puon the programme as arranged.
In some quarters it was said
that having in view Mr.. Stew
arts openly expressed opposition to the
elections bill, it was his design to en-
deavor to create split in the ranks of
the Republicans by placing the silver
senators in the dilemma of being
obliged to make choice between the
elections bill and the financial bill. 1t
appears. however, that Mr.. Stewart is
DESTROYS of making speech-probably
for an hour-upon the financial subject,
and that there is no serious intention of
taking the financial bill up for action
tomorrow, or, In fact, any day this
week.

THE MONEY REFUSED.
President Ketcham Has No Idea
of Retiring

TOLEDO, O.,Dec. 29.-PresidentT Thur
man and Chris Won Ger Abe came to
this city last night, and this morning
met President Ketcham and Director
Raitz at the Body house. The confer
ence lasted about two hours, and re-
suited in nothing being accomplished.
Mr.. Ketcham informed the members of
the conference committee that he held
a franchise in the American association,
had his club, had leased his grounds and
did not think for a moment of retiring.
President Thurman said that a reason
able sum would be paid to Toledo for an
option on the franchise. The sum was
named ami refused point blank. The
amount was in the neighbOrhOod of
$1,000. The committee then received
promise from Mr.. Ketcham to attend
another interview at Columbus next
week.

THE ELECTION GRIND.
Senator Hoar Revoices the Old,
OLD Pleas.

OLD Pleas.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 90. Speaking to
the election bill, Mr.. Hoar addressed
the senate. He likened the progress of
liberty to the advance of the tide. After
Office had been to leave upon the sand a
little filth and a little scum, or to de-
post in the rank mud the carcasess Of
drowned animals or Of decaying fishes;
but the eternal, ever-changing, never
changing ocean kept what it gained. 1t
renewed its strength. 1t repeated its
flow. So with the movements of liberty
in English history since the days of
Charles H., the dissolute pensioner of
France. That was his answer to those
senators who thought that the Ameri-
can people had at the last cleo
ton settled the great question of
righteousness by a single show of
hands. 1t was idle to debate
theories or PHILOSOPHERS in the
presence of express provisions of the
constitution. He rejected and repelled,
with all the indignation which the CAL
jimmy deserved. the aSperSion that the
bill was q partisan measure, or that any
man who supported it was actuated bv
partisan purposes. Its supporters I'M
doubtedly believed it to be true that
men who were now deprived of their
constitutional rights were deprived by
the abuse of their political opinions. 1t
was of course true that those men were
violently or fraudulently deprived of
their votes because of their political
opinions. What, Mr.. Hoar asked, was
the attitude of senators on the other
side? Republican senators charged
that, through election practices in oper-
alton III some of the states, the seats of
at least thirty representatives had been
illegally usurped; that the constitution
of the United States had been so yio-
lated and oYerthrown that for fourteen
years a minority had controlled the
national house of representatives, and
that for four years the presidency
of the United States itself had been
held by q uSurper. And they proposed
to invoke the courts of the United
States to see that the evidence of cleo
tons should be secured for the house of
representatives, and to see that no in
justice was done meantime by having
certificates given to persons not legally
entitled 10 them. What had senators on
the other side answered to that? Some
of them had seemed to think that their
best answer was in railing and reviling
at the senator who had charge of the
bill. Their abuse had done him (Mr
Hoar) an honor to which he would not
have laid claim. 1t brought him into a
company into which he should other
wise have been far too modest to seek
admission. 1t was Democrats who had
reviled Adams and Sumner and Seward
and Lincoln and Grant. The senator's
from Virginia and West Virginia (Mr
Daniel and Mr.. Kenna) had but repeated
cessorS had said to men the latchets of
whose shoes he (Mr. Hoar) was not
worthy to unloose.

RAILWAY MAIL SERVICE.
Mr. Wanamaker at Outs With
Civil Service Rules.

Oith oCEtICc 1OuEcS.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 29.-The members
of the civil service commission have
sent to the president a letter in reply to
certain statements made by Postmaster
General Wanamaker, on pages 4, 81, IS
and 80 of his last annual report. The
postmaster general, in the passages re-
ferred to, says that he hopes to see the
civil service examinations, especially
with reference to the railway mail. i'm
proved, and that years experience
confirms him in the judgment that the
civil service system as applied to the
postOffice department is susceptible of
improvement, and that the examina-
tons for the inspector force and for
the railway mail service should be more
difficult, inasmuch as experience shows
that eligibles who have seen public sery-
ice are more efficient than those received
through the civil service. The post
master general further saws:
1T is estimated by the railway mail
Office that the proportion of railway
mail eligibles who fail to fill the REQUIRE
mentS of the eXacting employment is a
quarter or third of all those examined.
1t is not truth, aud it will not stand the
test of truth. to reiterate over and over
again that the railway mail service.
which had been made the most effective
body of civil servants in the United
States under an old-established merit
system of its own, was basely prostitute
ed to partisan ends when this admins
tration of the postoffice department was
busying itself with putting back these
trusted and tried men in the places of
persons whose room was more valuable
than their bungling assistance, and with
waiting for the tardy certifcation of eli
gibles.''
In view of the postmaster's statement
that the examinations should be made
more difficult, the commission calls at
-tention to the fact that the usual COM
plant is that they are too severe, and
says:
1.-The commission is somewhat sur
prIsed by the statement in the report of
the postmaster general, that the pro-
portion of railway mail cligibles who
fail to fill the eyacting requirements of
that service is quarter or third of all
those examined AS this sentence

but apparently il means that of these

(aud otherwise the commission is totally

reason that they have not yet been

elusive of the Phelan contest, are those
of McGiDnis against Anderson, from
West Virginia, and Goodrich against

pect of this strife having reflective
effect upon the apportioument bill and

The Twin City Athletic Clubs
Winter Meetings.

Winter Meetings.
The Twin City Athletic club, which
week ago to-day presented its members
with three of the best pugilistic con-
tests ever witnessed in the Northwest
with hardly an exception, has arranged
for couple of events for January and
February which will also be ''corkers."
SlddonS and Hogan are matched for
Jan. %. and word was last night re-
ceived from Chicago that Ryan has con-
sented to meet an unknown, who is said
to be a champion in his class, and that
the event will take place Feb.
IL. This throws the Black Pearl
and Peters contest off. The Pearl
has not shown much of a disposition
to be reasonable i'm his demands. Since
his easy defeat of Denny Kelliher, who
was out OF condition. his estimate of
his rating has been exaggerated. He
demanded $1,000 to meet Peters and,
although he finally signed articles after
much higgling, he has failed to put up a
forfeit to be on hand and in condition.
While he for long time refused to
meet any uncover 150 pounds and COM
PEELED Peters to come to l54 pounds, he
recently signed articles to meet Frank
Glover, a heavyweight, at st. Paul, at
date previous to his meeting with the
Pearl. The club is rather tired of the
colored gentleman'S vagaries and, it is
said, will substitute the Ryan match for
his meeting with Peters.

CONTESTED SEATS.
An Attempt to Be Made to Com

WASHINGTON, Dec. 29.-Mr. RoweH,
of Illinois, chairman of the house COM
mittee on elections, intends during the
month of January to secure, if possible,
final action by the house on all the re-
naming undecided election contests.
One contest only remains to be dealt
with by the committeeman of Eaton
VS.. Phelan, from the Memphis, Tenn,
district.
Though no action has been taken on
this case, there is general and to all
appearances well-founded impression
that the majority of the committee will
report in favor of the seating of the con-
testant, Eaton. When the case is dis
posed of the committees work will
be finished. Five cases will then

action by the house. In two
of these cases the right of the Demo-
