BUREAU OF THE SENTINEL,
WAsHINGToY. D. c., Feb. Q. J


Mr.. ". W. Dudley is trying his hand in
congress with his 'blocks-of-fve" meth
ods. 1t is reported that he has the dis
bursement OF $4,000 to stay the passage
of Mr. Wanamaker's postal telegraph bill.
So far he has succeeded in smothering it
in the committee, but should it ever reach
the house the amount will have to be in
creased. Fifty thousand dollars may be
enough for two committeeman, but
not sufficient to cover the broader
field. Some congressman are to be had,
but they come high. Strange as it may
seem Mr.. Dudley has had the aid of Mr..
Clarkson, who has endeavored to weaken
the influence of his former chief, Mr..
Wanamaker, by several devious methods.
Another reinforcement TO the lobby is
MIR. Moore of Moore & Schley. who di-
rectly represent Mr.. Gould. He has sep
arate fund besides the $4,000 placed in
Mr.. Dudley's hands. Thus it will be seen
that Partner Michener has jumped into a
good paying business, strictly cash in ad-
vance.

consular appropriation bills will be report
ed from committee during the week. The
other measures that will probably inter
vene are the copyright bill, the Indian
depredations bill and the Nicaragua canal
bill. II Is within the bounds OF possibility
that an effort will be made to attach Tree
silver coinage rider to one ofsthe appro-
priation bills, in which case some delay
in carrying out the remainder of the pro-
gram may result.
The appropriation bills will probably
continue to absorb nearly all the time of
the house for some days to come and the
prospect for any general legislation during
this week is not bright. The District Of
Columbia committee, under the rules, is
entitled TO the floor tomorrow and is max
ing an earnest effort to secure the day for
local legislation, but Mr.. Cannon does
not intend to permit anything to
intervene while the sundry civil bill is
pending in the house, if he can preventit
The other appropriation bills are on the
calendar awaiting action, and it islikely
that their consideration will consume
practically the whole of the week. There
are number OF other matters,
including the shipping bill and
sundry election contests, on which action
by the house is very earnestly desired
but it is the understanding among the re-
publicans that the appropriation bills
shall have right of way at all times. The
silver bill and the report of the Raum in
vestigating committee are subjects which
may be precipitated upon the house dur
ing the week but in which form it is i'm
possible to predict.

THE TILDEN CLUB.
South Bends New Democratic Organization
Opens It's New Pnrlors.

SOUTH BEND, Feb. Especial. Sam
uel J. Tilden's birthday was fttingly OBJ
served tonight. An event long to be re-
membered by the local democracy
of the city was the formal opening OF
the Tilden club parIors last evening
ii also being the clubs first bow in return
for its recognition as a political organiza-
tion.
Every member is tried and true demo-
crat, and if any disciple of Jefferson,
when in this city. Is not taken in and
cared for, it will be attributed to the want
of knowledge OF his presence. 1t is safe to
say that no political organization in the
state contains better appointed quarters
than the home of the club. The feature
of its "house warming" tonight WAS the
grand and generous banquet attending it.
T.. +. Marshall acted as the master of
ceremonies. Letters of regret were read
from ex-President Cleveland, COngresa-
men Shively, Bynum ana Mills. Rs

NEW TO BIZ SECRETARY.
That Appointment Is Now
Decided On.
Harrison Has Cabled the
Appointment.
He Wants the Advice Of the Man
Who Made Him,
And Who Has Fully Studied
British Affairs.
DIr. New Will Probably Accept the
Place.

New YORK, Feb. S.-A gentleman Of
more than local prominence who has long
been identified with public affairs and is
reputed to be thoroughly informed re-
gardinQ the inside workings of the present
administration and who has just returned
from visit to Washington said today:
"At o'clock on Thursday afternoon last
President Harrison cabled Gen. John O
New, consul-general at London, TO come
TO Washington at once.
at viii be remembered that when
President Harrison was making up hi,
cabinet, Gen. New was very anxious to be
appointed the secretary of the treasury.
He had been treasurer and sssistant-secre-
tary OF the treasury and his ambition i'm
PEELED him to seek the secretary<
ship. But his friends urged upon him
that he could not then afford to
sacrifice the consul generals
ship for the position of the secretary of the
treasury. The consul-generalship would
certainly yield him So, 900 annually, and,
besides, would give many legitimate op.
portunities of increasing that sum. Gen
New finally decided to accept the consul.
generalship. Now it is believed he can
afford to relinquish it.
"Unless Gen. New decides that the
handsome income from the econsul-generale
ship, with its freedom from care, is better
than the secretaryship, with its perplexis
ties Qeaving out the impulses of ambis
tion), he will probably be the next secre-
tary of the treasury.
"This is the settled opinion of those
who are best informed as TO the presis.
dents purposes. It is known that Gen.
New has studied the whole British ques-
ton thoroughly from an international
standpoint. AS he is man of great dis
cretion and caution, besides thoroughly
American, his views will be OF the greatest
importance to Mr.. Harrison, who fully
realizes this in all its breadth and signif-
canoe, as he knows that he will want al
his command the best, fullest and most
accurate sources of information. ThiE
fact alone makes Gen. New the strongest
possible candidate for secretary of the
treasury"

for the variation in the two votes. 30 the
bill stands recommitted to the committee
of education and labor
The senate then proceeded TO the con-
sideration of the house copyright bill, and
Mr. Platt, who has charge OF 1t, made a
brief explanation Of and argument ior IT.
He hoped that the house bill would be
passed without amendment
Mr.. Frye did not coincide in that view,
but offered an amendment extending the
principle of the bill to maps, charts,
dramatic or musicai compositions, engrav-
ings, cuts, prints, chronOS and autographs.
Alter long debate the photographic
amendment was agreed to-yeas, % /;
nays, 24.
MIR. Sherman moved to amend Sec. by
striking out the word prohibited" and
insert in lieu thereof the words subject
to the duties provided by law" 40 that
books, etc, copyrighted here and printed
abroad will not be prohibited, but shall
be subject to the payment OF tariff duties.
The amendment went over without action.
In the house after Ithe reading OF the
journal a rather stormy debate ensued as
TO the order of business but the house
finally went into committee OF the whole
on the sundry civil bill.
Mr. HAYES Ia offered an amendment
providing session clerks to representatives
with salary of So a day. 4 point OF
order was raised against it but was over
ruled by the chair.
Mr.. Boutelle excited good deal OF
merriment in advocating the amendment
by declaring that never before In the his
tory OF the country had ever assembled a
congress which would need the services of
clerks as much as would the members OF
the Fifty-second congress.
Mr. Kelley (Kas.) offered an amend
ment to Mr.. Hayes amendment providing
that the clerks should be appointed under
civil service rules.
The reading of the amendment ELECTED
some laughter, but it was defeated 40 to
81. Mr.. Hayes amendment with an
amendment fixing the salaries OF the
clerks at 500 month was agreed to with
out division. The committee then rose
and the sundrv civil bill was passed.

All the ConnelIsvine Region Tied Up by

PITTsBURG, Feb. 9.-The great strike in

gurated this morning and by tomorrow
every mine and coke works in the region
will be closed down. The miners to the
number of about ten thousand refused to

ing being the coke drawers. There are
5000 men employed at this work and as
soon as they have drawn the coke from
the ovens they will quit also. The strike
is for an advance in wages OF l25 cents per
ton and against a ten per cent reduction.
Both sides are firm and a long struggle
appears to be inevitable. The work men
OF cred to continue at the present wages,
until March ], provided the operators
would arrange a satisfactory scale in the
meantime, but this was refused. The in
dependent or small operators then made
a proposition to their men to pay the old
wages until a settlement OF the trouble
but this was also rejected and the strike
ordered. The operators claim that owing
to the depressed condition of the coke and
iron trades a reduction is necessary. while,
upon the other hand, the workmen say
the depression is only temporary and the
operators can well afford TO pay the in
crease. There are over sixteen thousand
ovens and seventy coal and coke works
in the region.

Reporters.


Reporters.
CHICAGO, Feb. 9.-Tonight occurred an
event long waited for in Chicago. It wac
the first stage appearance of Mrs
Leslie Carter in the city il
which she was well knowE
figure in society, and where took place
the remarkable divorce suit involving hen
and her millionaire husband. To say that
the Grand opera-house, where she had
been billed to perform, was crowded is
too family to express the situation.
Standing room was early at a pre-
mium, and a striking feature of the
attendance was the amount OF
femininity present. Another point that at
once commanded attention was the un-
usual number OF people in evening dress.
If anybody was looking for a sensational
incident to mark the occasion, however,
it was vain task. When Mrs. Carter made
her initial entrance came the nearest
to such a happening. She was
apparently extremely nervous, but the
applause throughout the house was in
Simultaneous and deafening. The hearty
reception seemed to have a reassuring
effect and increasingly toward the
end of the evening she played
with effectiveness. Such a number
of recalls as given tonight were probably
never before accorded an actress in Chi
cago. The bril;iantlv-dressed throng
seemed Unsuitable. and graceful bow OF
Mrs. Carter's Hebe-lke figure before the
curtain and a glance from her lustrous
eyes was all the signal for another wild
outbreak. Up to the end of the third act
her recalls numbered exactly thirteen.

BUREAU OF THE SENTINEL, I
No. 1927 FIST, y. w.
WASHINGTON. ID. @. Feb. s

Representative Lewis, in speaking of the
minority report on the Raum lnvestlga-
ton, said to The SENTINEL correspondent
last night that he was surprised to see the
majority report in the papers. especially
when the majority had said nothing to
the minority OF its intention to give its re-
port TO the press.
"At the close Of last session" said Rep
Tesentative Lewis, when we supposed the
Raum investigation had closed, the chair
man of the committee having said, at that
time, that the committee would examine
no more witnesses, / submitted to the ma
jority one report and said that we intended
TO give it TO the press. Yet, after it
was published, Mr. Sawyer, member Of
the committee, said, in an Interview, that
ne was surprised at the action of the mi
nority in giving their views to the press
without saying a word of their intention
to the majority. Now, if Mr.. Sawyer says
he was surprised, just think how much
more surprised are we at the action of the
majority. Mr.. Sawyer said nothing about
giving the majority report to the press,
and to an impartial reader it would seem
that the majority desired to forestall the
views of the minority. Both reports
should have been printed together, and
the minority would have given its report
to the press the same evening had we been
informed of the intention OF the majority.
''NOw, 1 cannot say whether the house
will debate the reports or not, but TO adopt
the majority reports in the face of the res
olution introduced several weeks ago by
Representative Cooper. and referred TO the
committee on rules, TO broaden the scope
of the investigation then in progress,
would, in my judgment, be an indication
that the republicans are afraid 70 have my
more light turned on in the direction of
the pension Office.
''The committee on rules considered
Friday, for a few minutes, Mr.. Cooper's
resolution but nothing definite was done
with it. Now it strikes me as a little
strange, to say the least, that Commits
sioner Raum, or some of his friends in the
house, have not demanded an investiga-
ton OF these additional statements con-
tanned in Mr.. COOper's resolution-state-
ments which are OF grave character af-
fecting Commissioner Raum's official con-
duct. Then certainly an investigation
would do him no harm, but would vindi-
cate him of every suspicion.
III the committee on rules fails TO re-
port the resolution, then, in my opinion,
the next house will take up the matter
and silt 1t 10 the bottom. / would not be
surprised if the next house has its hands
full OF investigations. / dare say the light
could be turned on with profit in several

Mr.. GIBBS ARRESTED
For Smuggling Watches Into This Country
From Europe.

New YORK, Feb 9.-Max Gibbs of In
dianapolis, a passenger on the North Ger
man steamer Ems, which reached her
dock in Hoboken this morning, was
stopped by suspicious customs
officer as he was leaving
the pier and his clothing was searched.
A package in his possession was
found to contain eight costly
watches-several OF gold and one
quaint silver watch OF extraordinary size,
which ticked like death clock. Besides
these, there were half dozen gold finished
fruit knives Mr.. Gibbs said he was a
jeweler doing business in Indianapolis.
Some time ago he went abroad and brought
back quantity OF watches and jewelry,
but the duties consumed his profits.
Then his brother-in-law suggested that
he bring the next lot in his pocket
and omit the formality Of paving customs
dues He tried this with the result
noted. The watches in question wers
mostly made to order and inscribed. The
whole seizure was valued at from $1,000 to
$500, and was dutiable at 25 per cent.
The goods were confscated aud will be
sold at auction.

Zetts Did Not Garry Out His Agreement
She will Prosecute Him.

PARIS, Feb. 9.-Mme Patti was inter
viewed at tue Hotel Bristol today about
her arrest in Berlin for alleged breach of
contract. She said the well-known i'm
pressario. Ze tie, met her in London some
time ago and en- gagged her for series of
concerts in st. Petersburg. AsZette failed
to pay a deposit to her manager in st.
unimportant theater instead OF the lead
ing theater, as he had promised, she con-
sidered the engagement broken. She con-
suited Solicitor George Lewis and he ad-
vised her that she was under no legal obliga-
tons and the contract was nul lifted. On
the evening of her fulfilling her Berlin en-
gagement, Zette came to Berlin from st.
Petersburg to try TO seize her costumes
and jewels and to try to prevent her
singing. Zette was unable to procure in
time the one thousand marks which it
was necessary to pay into court as pre-
caution before obtaining an order TO dis
train her effects. The concert was, there
fore, not interfered with. In the follow
ing morning however. a writ was
served on her and six men were posted
outside her hotel to execute il. Mime.
Patti was unable to pay the S,400 marks
demanded, having on the previous even
ing deposited the proceeds of the concert
with the Rothschilds. Her Berlin agent,
Mr.. Wolf. came to her rescue, however.
and paid the amount demanded.
Nine. Patti is very indignant over her
trouble. She is convinced that Zette's
object was to frighten her to pay on the
spot his whole claim Of 1900 marks. She
has decided to prosecute Zette for illegal
distraint.
