Awkward Position.

Gen. Grosvenor Finds Himself in an
Awkward Position.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 16.-The selection of
Representative Grosvenor to represent as
counsel the senators and representatives
whose names were forged to the ballot box
contract before the investigating committee
strikes everybody as singular. Gen. Gros-
venor is not only q member of the House,
and so judge In this case, but he is the
most pronounced anti-Foraker man among
the Ohio republican leaders, having pro-
voked Gov. Foraker SO that he removed
him from an honorary Office, and having
revenged himself by helping to defeat For
aker for governor.
Gen Grosvenor is not O man of much deli
cacy Of feeling yet, even he felt the awk-
wardness of his situation when he weat
into the committee room this morning
Seeing Gov. Foraker sitting, there he went
up aud greeted him pleasantly, adding: ~
appear here as counsel simply, governor. l
hope you do not think | am here to prose-
cute your 30. don't care" said Foraker,
defiantly. "Pd just as leave be cross
examined by an opponent as by a friend !;
yes, and little rather"

aker showed plainly to-day that he means
to fight, and, if possible to smirch his ac-

DIFFERING OPINIONS.
Manufacturers Want Free Mica and
Miners Want a Duty.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 16.-The ways and
means committee to-day gave its last pub
lie hearing of persons interested in tariff
questions. One or two gentlemen inter
ested in duties on lumber and copper were
heard, and about dozen gave their views
upon the propriety of placing duty upon
mica or putting it on the free list. Manu-
facturers Of stoves were the principal advo-
Gates Of putting it on the free list. Electri-
cal instrument manufacturers also wanted
1t free. One Of these said that American
mica could not be split into as fine sheets as
foreign mica.
WANTS A DOLLAR A POUND.
George II. Randall of Grafton, N. H., a
mica mine owner, took the stand and con-
tradicted the statements of previous wit
nesses. He had been IN the business twenty
seven years, and had never heard, until the
question of duty came up, OF a single fault
being found with the clearage OF American
mica. He exhibited a number of
specimens blasted from his mine,
which, he said, was fully equal
to the foreign product. Nearly every mica
mine in the United States had been COM
PEELED toashutdown within the last four years
owing 10 foreign competition. Unless a
duty was imposed it was "good-by" to the
American mica mines. He asked duty Of
81 pound.
Col j. NJ. Gore of South Carolina wanted
a duty on mica.
CAN'T MEET INDIA COMPETITION.
Congressman Ewart Of North Carolina
read statement urging protective duty
on mica. The mica market of the United
States was now controlled bv the half
starved miners of India, and he wanted a
duty that would make up the difference in
labor. He had introduced bill fixing a
specific duty of 80 cents per pound, but con-
sultation with mica mine owners in North
Carolina led him to believe that that rate
was too low.

Libeling the Earl of Euston.
LONDON, Jan. 16.--The trial of Mr.. Parke.
editor of the North London Press, on q
charge of criminal libel, preferred against
him by the Earl Of Euston, was concluded
to-day. Justice Hawkins, in summing up
the case, spoke of the great and manifest
discrepancies in the testimony of witnesses
called by Mr.. Parke's counsel to identify
the Earl oe Euston. He said that IL the story
told by witness Saul, who testified that he
and the Earl of Euston had committed q
criminal action in the house in Cleveland
street, was true. he marveled that Saul had
not been prosecuted, and that a warrant
against the Earl of Euston has not been
applied for.
Mr.. Parke was found guilty of libeIing
Earl of Euston, and was sentenced to one
years imprisonment.

AFRO-AMERICANS,
BIZ Pledger Elected President of the
National Convention,

@@A@ ASa6CA ANSCLSd ET6Esu6nE OF LnG
National Convention,
CHICAGO, Jan. 16.-The morning session
OF the Afro-American convention at Mad
ison street theater found 200 delegates pres
ent. There was great deal OF noise, con-
siderable confusion and any number Of
conflicting motions and points Of order, and
yet there was almost perfect unanimity
ms was proven by the election Of the per-
manent convention officers, recommended
by the committee on nominations, by a vote
OF III TO 8, many members not voting.
The president chosen was w. A. Pledger
OF Georgia. The newly-elected president
made long speech on the negro question
III the south, and said the time would come
when the loyal people of the north would
find way to punish aud prevent criminal
sectional nullihcation of the constitu-
ton, and the christian people of
this country would discover a
remedy to suppress that disloyal element
with whom murder is vocation, and per-
jury pastime.
An Illinois delegate moved the adoption
OF a resolution thanking Mayor Creiger of
Chicago, because he had appointed so many
colored citizens to Office.
w. "A. Sweeney Of Indianapolis spoke
against the resolution. He moved in place
OF the Illinois mans resolution the adoption
OF substitute declaring that the conferences
would not receive or entertain any motion
TO thank any political party or TO
thank any man acting as a representative
OF political party. The substitute was
adopted without opposition outside Of the
Illinois delegation.
II. G. Astwood of New York introduced
sarcastic resolution asking congress to
appropriate Sl00, 900, 600 TO furnish transpor-
tation to the unhappy white citi-
zens of Alabama, South Carolina.
and other southern states, who may desire
TO settle in n more favorable locality, free
from Afro American majorities, and espe-
cially naming Senator Morgan as the
Moses TO lead the emigrants The rules
were suspended, the resolution unanimously
passed, and ordered sent to Washington.
The last session of the day was devoted
to the reading of communications received
by the secretaries Fifteen letters from
Afro-Americans and letter from Judge
Albion w. Tourgee were read. The Judge
suggested that the Afro-Amerioan League
should be secret organization, in order
that its members might not be In danger OF
murder and outrage in the south.
K. G. Stile of Pennsylvania moved to
refer Judge Tourgee's letter to the COM
mittee on constitution and bylaws that
the members Of the committee might use
such of its suggestions as they saw fit. This
proposition was opposed by several delegates
on the ground that Judge rourgee was not
an Afro-American, and that it was time for
negroes TO show that they could get along
without any help from white mon.
After an exhaustive discussion, however,
the motion to refer the letter TO the consti--
tuition committee was carried. Dissenting
voices we're few.
The convention then adjourned until to-
morrow.

Three Hundred Persons Compelled to
Abandon Their Homes.
CAIRO, ILL, Jan. 16.-Three hundred
persons at Carmi. Ill, have been compelled
to leave their homes by a sudden riso in the
Little Wabash river, aud it is feared that a
larger number will be forced to abandon
their dwellings and take refuge on higher
ground. The river is out Of its banks. aud
the northern part OF the town is flooded to
depth of twenty feet in some places, and
from seventy-tive TO one hundred houses
are subm rged. The houses have
all been vacated people seeking refuge in
spare rooms OF their neighbors in the south
ern part OF the town.
Vast stretches Of low land and meadow
are under water, and number of animals
have been carried away or drowned
in the fields. Fence rails, boards.
and other drift borne down stream
by the raging waters indicate that
families have suffered severely. Much hay
on the bottom lands has been ruined.
1t is reported that tho worst is yet to
come, and that the people in the towns
along the Little Wabash are preparing for
the worst. AT Carmi it is expected that
the river will rise fifteen feet higher. II this
does happen the result will be appalling.

tai was absent from tine Chamber Of Peers
to-day, owing to a severe attack of inGu-
enza. In his absence the minister of justice
delivered declaration on the dispute with
England. His remarks we're similar to
those made yesterday in the
Chamber of Deputies by Senior Pimental,
who declared that the government would

and maintain its dignity absolutely. Debate
followed, but all agreed in denouncing the
British ultimatums. Several colonial gov
ernors, including the governor OF Mozam-
bique, have resigned.

Twenty royal marines have been arrested
for making demonstration against England.

of Palmillo in returning the Crimean

WASHINGTON, Jan. 16--In refusing to

are insisting tonight, but to indorse its own

man Hits statement that bill would be
reported within twenty-four hours from his

a special committee without seeming to re-

no exposition in 1892, but only tho corner
stone will be laid OF a fine memorial build
