A PLENTIFUL CROP.
Aspirants for Positions Under tho
Next Congress Springing Up.

WAsHINGToN, Nov. l1.-[Special Telegram
to TIE BEE The crop of aspirants for the
elective positions under the Fifty-second con-
gress is growing so rapidly as 10 threaten the
place Of mind of the men who will control
these offices, long before the democratic cah-
Gus will meet Up to the present moment
there are az least six applicants in the field
for every position from clerk to chaylain, and
the number who want to be d0orkeeper rep
resents about one for each state in the union
where there Is democratic Representatives.
New York, which will have the largest rep
resentation of any state on the democratic
side, naturally thinks its about time that a
York man was given one Of those places, es-
pecially as 1t is nearly ten years now since
their party sought to honor the empire state
in this way. The candidate most
generally spoken of as likely
to secure the suffrages of the
New York members Is William q. Rains who
was an aspirant for the clerkshlp in the
tiftieth congress and he is already in the field
for similar Office. The doorkeeper will uu-
doubtedly be southern man and the other
offices will go to the men who control enough
western and southwestern votes to insure
them material upon which to trade. Up 70
date twelve candidates for the speakership
have thrown down the gauatlet and as only
one of the twelve can be elected it is quite
probable that there will be a long contest be-
fore Speaker Reeds successor is chosen
Every man who appears in the race early
stands good chance of securing prominent
place on the committees, hence the crowd.

Guessing Matches Are Legal.

WASHINGTON, Nov. lin response to in
quiries made by Postmaster General Wanna
maker under date Of October rs to whether
advertisements in newspapers of guessing"
contests in its various phases are in violation
of section 1894 Of the revised statutes, as
amended by the ant-lottery act of September
10, 1890, Attorney General Miller has sub
mitted an opinion in which he holds in the
negative. The attorney general says in the
course of a lengthy opinion: IF the offers
were not made in good faith it would be a
scheme for obtaining money under false pre-
lenses. Being made in good faith the gifts
are doubtless offered with the purpose of in
creasing directly as well as indirectly the
sale Of those newspapers and rendering its
business of increased value to those who
offer prizes"
at is clear the statute is directed against
only such enterprises as are dependent upon
lot or chance. 1t will hardly be contended
the enterprise under consideration was de-
pendent upon lot Was it dependent upon
chance within meaning of the statutel 1t
seems to me this question must be answered
in the negative In conclusion 1t may not be
improper to say this law was framed with n
view to the suppression of certain well known
and widespread agencies for evil; and it is
certainly not wise to embarrass its execution
by strained or unnatural construction in
reaching after practices not thought of as the
motive for its enactment"

South Dakota,s Senator.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1l-[Spccial Telegram
to THE BEE. There has been some talk in
Washington the past two or three days about
the chances of the various candidates for the
senatorship in South Dakota to succeed
Senator Moody, whose terp expires March 4
4next. 1t is very well known here that there
is some opposition to the return of Judge
Moody, and that he will have great difficulty
in controlling the legislative caucus. Clifford
has been spoken of as a possible candidate,
he is considered as u possibility of no great
power. For months Dakota people, in talk
ing over the situation, have intimated
that in the event of the shelving Of Judge
Moody the senatorship would in all probabil-
ity go to governor Mellette, who is one of the
most popular men in the republican party in
the whole state or late it has been quietly
hinted that Congressman Pickler has been
setting up his pins for his own
elevation 10 the higher branch of congress and
that he has so far succeeded in this as to war
rant his friends in their claim that he has
enough repu blican members elect of thelegis-
ature, pledged to him to insure his nomina-
ton. Pickler undoubtedly can control many
votes among the farmers alliance people, the
grand army and the prohibitionists which it
would be difficult for another man to control,
but whether or not he has as many as his
friends assent is a question which is at least
an open one, at this time especially, as there
is no one present in Washington who is quail
fed to speak authortatvely on the subject
nor is Mr.. PicKler here as yet himself.

A Family Affair,

COLUMBUS, Ca, Nov. 1l.-There was a most
sensational tragedy at the race track here
today. The grand stand was packed with
men, women and children. After the conclu-
sion of the gentleman's race, T. G. Dawson Of
Glenville. Ala, one Of the contestants, left
his sulky and went behind the judges stand.
In a few seconds the crowd was startled by
the report of pistol and saw Dawson run
ming pursued by three men who were firing
at him. In a minute Dawson got his revolver
out and began returning the shots, but soon
fell and expired His three assailants were
quickly arrested. They are Dick and Robert
Howard and their brother-in-law James
Bickerstaf. They were not wounded. The
tragedy was the outcome of family quarrel,
Dawson having married and deserted sister
of the Howards. Both parties have many
friends and there is much excitement. The
Howard party refuse to talk.

AUBURN, N. Y, Nov. 1l.-tSpecial Tele-
gram to THE BEE. Mrs. Amida NJ. Woods
of Norwich, N. Y, arrived in town last
evening and Is about to commence suit
against Prison Physician Sawyer for causing
the death of her son in the prison hospital in
April last Her son was nineteen years Of
age when sentenced to six years imprison-
ment for burglary. She claims she received
pardon from the governor for her son an
hour after his death She visited him while
In the hospital and found him in an exceed
fngly bloated condition He claimed he had
been compelled to take large doses of tur
pentine and he seemed to be suffering ex-
cruciating pain In her statement she AYERS
that her son had incurred the displeasure Of
DR.. Sawyer, that the latter thought he was
shamming and threatened to give him a
bellyful. A post-mortem examination was
made at the hospital with undue haste and
without the presence of the coroner, which
is against the law, aud in two days after the
death the mother received his dissected re-
mains, which were in a horrible condition.
The woman's statement is accompanied by
aflidavts from the coroner and undertaken at
Norwich concerning the condition of the
body of her son, Bay Woods. The case will
attract much attention when it comes to
trial.
DIR. Sawyer was seen by local reporter
and he claims the deceased was treated in
the same manner as all dead convictS are
when there is anything peculiar about their
decease.

CHICAGO, Nov. 1i.--[Special Telegram TO
TnE BEE. The Western passenger associa-
ton held perhaps the most important meet
Ing of its history. The proceedings were en-
trely of an informal character, not resolu-
ton bel ng even voted upon. The whole stu
alton was discussed and it was agreed to be a
bad one In the northwestern district the
$500 was demoraizing rates, but the Cana
dian competition did not cut as much figure
as the contracts of some Of the lines with
emigrant agencies and scalpers. In the
Omaha territory the situation was better,
but in Kansas City it was worse. Several OF
the lines dealt directly with scalpe and the
passenger men had exhausted almost every
measure of manipulating rates.
Chairman F'inley's policy of authorizing re-
duced rates where scalpers had suf-
fcienC cut rate tickets to affect the
business was freely discussed. One OF the
lines showed that the passenger business VIA
st. Paul amounted TO S2000,000 annually; via
Omaha, to 81 100000, and via Kansas CITY,
&,500,00O. 1t was claimed that scalped tick
Is did not decrease these totals more than
100000 annually. An exception was taken
TO this, other lines claiming the scalped tick
cts cut gross earnings at least 20 per cent.
II was agreed that Chairman E'inley's policy
would knock out the scapcrs but at great
preliminary cost. Finally it was decided
that each line must give up all contracts or
deals by which it secured any undue advan.
tage, and the subject was postponed until
Friday, when all tue lines will be prepared to
vote

wholly due to the tariff, but principally to
general discomfort of the farmers with the
low prices of their products and the contrac-

thing took an upward turn recently but not
long enough before the election to change the
minds of the farmers. Those minds were

The PLAYERS, Leapue Meeting.

PITTsBURG, Pa, Nov. 1.-THE National
Players league held it's annual fall meeting
here this morning with all the clubs repre-
sented. Boston was awarded the championship.
A lengthy discussion was had on the ques-
tion of consolidation. The representatives of
the Pittsburg and New York clubs an
nounced that they had entered into an ar
rangement satisfactory to both sides, and
that next season there would be but one club
in each of those cities
Tonight the climax was reached when
Colonel McAlpin and H. b. Rae of Pittsburg
arose in the meeting and formally rendered
their designations in the players league.
They fatty said they intended resigning from
the players league in order to join the ma
tional clubs. Then followed a storm. They
were argued with and threatened but were
obdurate. They had no explanation to make
and merely offered their resignation. The
meeting then hastily adjourned until tomor-
row. The officers of the players league say
they have applications from cities that will
more than fill the vacancies created by the
detection Of New York and Pittsburg To-
morrows meeting is expected to decide to ac-
cept the designations.

MILD.MANNERED TORNA DOES.
General Greedy Has q Few Remarks
to Make on the Subiect.

to Make on the Subject.
WASHINGTON, Nov. IL. The annual report
of the chief signal officer, General Greey,
says there has been decided Improvement in
the condition and efficacy of the army as re-
CARDS signal practice. The most important
event in connection with the work of the
signal corp has been the unprecedentedly
successful establishment and maintenance Of
an elaborate system Of heliograph signaling
in the department of Arizona, longer dis
tances being attained than ever before. Re
ferring to the weather branch of the service,
General Greely says the duties devolving
personally on the forecast officer permit less
than one quarter of minute on the average
in which to decide formulate and express the
forecast for the state or district regarding any
meteorological element, such as the weather,
temperature and wind. Rarely can minute
be given to predictions for any particular
state or district. Notwithstanding all diff
culties, there were only fourteen occasions
last year on which severe cold waves were
not predicted, 9S per cent of all important
cold waves being predicted. Speaking of
tornadoes, General Greey says it appears
from data on hand that in no state may de-
structive tornado be expected oftener than
on an average once in two years, and that the
area over which total destruction can beck
pected is exceedingly small, even in states
most liable to these violent storms. General
Greedy believes this is matter of great
public Importance and desired to impress
upon the people at large how small are the
chances of personal injury or loss of property
in this connection. In conclusion, he says
that tornadoes are not so destructive of life
as thunder storms,
