NERVY REPUBLICANS.

They Meet in Washington and Make
Nominations-Czar Reed Named For
Speaker.
WASHINGTON, December 5.-The Re-
publican members Of the House met
this evening in the room OF the Commit
tee of the Judiciary. There was small
attendance but the attendance was en-
thusiastic. When ex-Speaker Reed en-
tered the chamber, his colleagues greet
ed him with every manifestation OF ad-
miration and heartineSs.
When q quorum was present the
caucus was called to order by Mr.. Hen
derson, of Illinois,. Mr.. Dalzell, OF
Pennsylvania, acted as secretary.
Nominations for the Speakershib were
Immediately in order, and Mr.. Burrows,
OF Michigan, in presenting the name OF
Mr.. Reed, said in substance:
although the Republican majority
Of the House OF Representatives
was reversed by the election of 1890, 1t
is gratifying to know that the Republi-
can party Of the country shows no sign
of retreat from the advanced position
which it took and maintained during the
last Congress, and l venture to predict
that the time is near at hand when the
work of the Fifty-frst Congress will
meet the endorsement and the approval
Of the American people.
"That Congress revised the tariff in
the interest of protection to American
industries and labor. 1t increased the
currency by the full volume of our
silver without the coinage of the depre-
ciated dollar. 1t gave full measure to
the survivors of the war for the union
Of the country. There was no instru-
ment more potent In accomplishing
these great results than the Speaker Of
the House.
brushing away senseless precedents
of hundred years by which factious
minority resisted and some times con-
trolled the legislation OF Congress, with
matchess ability and courage, he paved
the way for the Republican party TO
achieve the greatest triumphs in its his
tory. In recognition of his great per-
sonal service and OF his fidelity to the
Republican party, l place in nomina-
tion the name of Thomas B. Reed for
the Speakership OF the Fifty-second
Congress-.
The nomination was agreed to by &C
clamation, and Mr.. Reed made brief
speech in recognitionvof the honor.
The Republican party, he said. was
suffering from temporary setback
only, and would soon resume its place
in the affections of the people. The
minor officers who served during the
last Congress, were renomnated with
out opposition, and the caucus ad-
journed.

ANOTHER ENGLISH SCANDAL.
An Actress and Her Husband This Tim
Before the Divorce Court.

An Actress and Her Husband This Time
Before the Divorce Court.
LONDON, December 5.-LOndon is
certainly having a surfeit Of separation
and divorce cases. The Russell case is
no sooner ended than the scene shifts
revealing further marital inielicities.
This time, however, the parties involved
don't belong to the peerage, but are well
known to the jeuneSSe deere and theatre
going public Of England and the United
States.
The parties to this late suit, Miss
Florence st. John, the actress, and Du
Plany Maurius, and the charges made
against the latter are the only ones on
which an absolute divorce can be OBJ
tained in England; namely, cruelty and
adultery.
Miss st. John charges that since her
marriage to the defendant he has treat
ed her in a most cruel manner and that
he has also been criminally intimate
with other women. The case came up
to-day before Mr.. Justice Jeun in the
divorce division OF Her MajeSty's High
Court Of Justice. Sir Charles Russell
appears for the prosecutor and Mr.. G.
Z. Gill for respondent. Mr.. Gill ad-
mitted that the charge of adultery was
true, but claimed il had not occurred
until after Miss st. John had deserted
her husband
Sir Charles Russell stated that Mr..
Marius aud Miss st. John fell in love
with each other when they were both
married persons. They so far forgot
their duties TO their respective partners
that the procuring Of a divorce by Mrs.
Marius and another by Miss st. Johns
husband was rendered necessary. AT
ter these divorces had been granted
Msrius married Miss st. John.
The couple did not live happily, and
scenes OF violence were frequent be-
tween them. Finally, in September,
1SSS, Marlus knocked his wife down,
and so abused her that had IL not been
for the fact that her brother was in the
house, there is no saying how this vio-
lence would have ended. After this
trouble they no longer lived together.
Mrs. st. John was called TO the wit
ness box TO testify as to her charges.
She said she met Marius at the Strand
theatre in 1879. After he had been
divorced from his wife, and she
from her husband, she married him.
This was in 1885. In 1886 a child was
born TO them. She had much reason to
complain Of MariuS' intemperate habits
I'm 1887 and 1855. When he was drunk
he was very vicious and insulting. The
witness gave in detail number Of acts
of cruelty on the part OF the respond

NO CHOICE YET.
The Democratic Caucus Adjolr1S Till
Monday Morning.
SIXTEEN BALLOTS WERE TAKEN
With No Serious Disafec6on in the Ranks Of
ANY of the Five Leading Cand 4 ss.
All Agreed to the AdjournmsI
Dark Horses Remain Dark.

WASHINGTON, December 5.-The
most remarkable contest for the Office OF
Speaker of the House of Representa-
tives that has taken place for many
years, reached the stage Of its last day
this morning with no material change
in the situation.
The attack on Mr.. Springer's forces,
designed to bring about the withdrawal
of the Illinois candidate, was continued,
but Mr.. Springer said that he would not
be forced to retire by detection in his
own ranks; that he was still resolved to
stand by his colors and go before the
caucus. His followers adopted the red
pink as their distinguishing mark, and
his loyal supporters adorned ther lapels
from bowl of those flowers in the
Springer parlor.
Mr.. Wike, of Illinois, one Of the lead
ers in the break Of the State delehation,
called on Mr.. Springer early In the
morning, and the latter said he did not
wish any complimentary votes on the
first ballot which were not cast In
earnest, as he wished to grow aud not
decrease in strength with the progress
Of balloting. Messrs. Fithirn and Fore
man this morning decided to vote Tor
Mr.. Mills from the start.
Mr.. Hatch was still hopeful OF sue
cess. at must now be apparent TO
everybody" said he, "that neither Mr..
Crisp nor Mr.. Mills has sufficient votes
to be nominated so long as there Is a
single third candidate in the field.
am the third candidate who expects to
stay TO the end, until the gradual diSln-
tegration OF the forces of the other cam
didates gives me enough votes to be
nominated. Strange things will hap
pen between now and 4 O'Clock this
afternoon"
The two leaders in the race still ex-
pressed confidence Of winning, 0lt re-
garded the situation as serious and crit
ical. Each man known to be in doubt
was kept in sight, and no persuasions
omitted to induce him definitely TO
pledge himself. 1t is realized that N the
event of struggle between Messrs.
Crisp and Mills alone few votes may
change the result, and the fight now IS
earnest and intense. A member Of the
1GAdS utl6SdllOu SLiu Olllo LlOl hiio NA~N
he believed Mr.. Mills would win, his
calculations being based on the With
drawal of the three minor candidates
from the race. He placed Messrs. Crisp
and Mills at s to 10 votes apart with
the latter having the larger number.
By 1:3O p. m. the forces had gathered
in the hall OF the House OF Representa-
tives.
The candidates for the Speakership
took UP headquarters in the committee
rooms. Mr.. Mills selected the Ways
and Means Committee room. Mr.. Crisp
that of the Appropriations Committee
Mr.. Mcmillan had the Sub-Ap-
priations Committee room and Mr..
Springer and Mr.. Hatch had the River
and Harbor and Naval Committee
rooms respectively.

PARIS, December 5.-The Chinese
Legation in this city received an official
dispatch to-day, TO the effect that on
the night Of November Is, two secret
societies named Tsinthan and TSaili,
composed OF emigrants from China
proper, proceeded to Mongolia and In
augurated revolt against the foreign
erS and Christians centered In the dis
trict OF Tchayoyang, in the Province
OF Jehol.
According to the latest estimates from
300 TO 500 Christians, several J.atlve
priests, Mongoian Prince and some ma
tives were massacred. Many churches
were pillaged and burned, especially in
the towns Of Tsentchang and Pingsu-
ten.

FIVE WAR VESSELS
To Go to Chilean Waters to Back Up
Uncle Sans Demand.
EXTREME MEASURES EXPECTED
To Be Necessary to Enhrcs the Order : @ls
Shows No Inclination 10 Do the Fair
Thing-Csptain Schlsys Protest
Sill is Ignored.

WASHINGTON, December 5.-Formal
orders were issued yesterday directing
Rear Admiral Walker to proceed at the
earliest practicable moment with the
Chicago, Atlanta aud Bennington To
Brazilian waters and assume command
OF the South Atlantic station. These
vessels are now at Hampton Roads.
Admiral Walker expects 10 weigh
anchor on Monday evening next. The
only cause for delay will be In getting a
number OF long service men 10 replace
those on the Chicago, whose terms ex-
pire within the next few months. Tele-
grams were sent TO the principal re-
cruitng rendezvous 10 day TO send all
the available recruits at onceto the ves-
sci. Ii her crew is not completed by
Monday night IL will be made up from
the Newark, which has been detached
from the squadron Of Evolution and will
probably be assigned 10 Rear Admiral
Gherardi's fleet in the West Indies.
The main purpose in sending these
additional vessels 20 the South Atlantic
is unqueStionably on account OF the
Chilean affair. The Brazilian troubles
are OF secondary importance, but afford
a sufficiently convenient excuse FOR get
ting an additional naval force within
easy reach of Chile. The squadron
will rendezvous at Montevideo, Uruguay,
the present headquarters OF the South
Atlantic station. This being the yellow
fever period in Brazil, the fleet will
probably steer as clear as possible
from that coast unless some trouble
should arise requiring Admiral Walkers
presence at Rio. His fleet will then
comprise five vessels-the Chicago, At
lanta, Bennington Yantic aud Essex.
Once at Monteyideo these vessels Will
be within easy reach Of Chile, and at
the same time be on hand TO look after
interests in Brazil should any rupture
occur.
II is not going too far 10 say that the
administration is now pretty we'll con-
vinced that satisfactory answer will
not be made by Chill TO the demand for
indemnity, and that these vessels may
soon be needed to join in a demonstra-
ton for bringing Chill To her senses.
The President, II is understood, Will
take a pretty firm stand In his message
on the Chilian matter. The subject
was discussed at great length
at the Cabinet meeting yes
terday, resulting In the APP
proval OF tho position taken by the
President. which, In effect, means that
the administration is prepared to insist
upon its demand for full reparatlon and
an apology II Congress sees III TO author
ize a resort TO extreme measures. The
present movement In sending Admiral
Walkers feet to the South Atlantic Is
in measure anticipatory OF Congress-
ional action In the matter.

men were busy adding one more paint
ing to the portrait gallery Of former
Speakers Of the House OF Representa-
tives. They hung a painting OF Mr..
Reed on the row, and it was soon sur
rounded by throng Of people.
The Michigan delegation was then
in caucus and Don Dickinson was la
boring with them TO get a solid vote for
Mills.
Shortly before two o'clock the floor
OF the House was cleared of all but
members Of the caucus, and the serious
work of the day began. just then a
rumor which had been pervadng
the corridors of the Capitol, that
Mr.. McMillin had declared his intention
TO withdraw, was proven to be baseless
by meeting of his supporters, who,
amid enthusiastic cheers, declared, as
stated by one OF his admirers, THAT we
will stand by McMillin TO the last
ditch"
The caucus was called to order AT 2:1O
o'clock by Mr.. Holman. OF Indiana,
chairman of the caucus, and the work
organization was begun at once.
The caucus decided to take an open
ballot. This is regarded as in Crisp.s
favor. He advocated 1t and Mills did
not.
Judge Holman said that the nomi at
ing speeches would be limited TO We
minutes, and speeches Seconding be
nominations TO two minutes. The O. Ter
of placing the candidates in nomina on
will probably be Mills, Crisp, Springer,
McMillin and Hatch.
The roll call OF the caucus disclosed
the presence Of OF members. There
we're seven abSenteeS, includind the eve
candidates. This makes the numcer
necessary TO nominate ia.
1t Was suggested that rule be adopt
ed declaring q two-thirds vote OF tho

suggestion did not find favcr and was
abandoned. 1t was then agreed

The Governor to-day issued his order
for the pardon OF Van b. Wells, sen.
fenced by the Circuit Court Of Wood
county, at the fall term of 1883, on the
charge of burglary, TO five years con-
fnement in the State penitentiary.
The Superintendent of the penitentiGry
recommends the pardon on the
ground that the prisoner is seriously
afflicted with heart disease, and for
some time has been unable to do any
work. He also says the prisoner is
growing worse. The acting Superin-
tendent Of the peniteutiary says that the
conduct of the prisoner during his con-
finemeut has been good. The Judge of
the Court in which the prisoner was
tried, the Sheriff, the Clerk Of the
Court and many citizens OF Wood coun-
ty also ask for his release.
