THE REPUBLICAN, SCHEME
In Regard to the Debate on the Cloture
Resolution.
Special Tsllgrdn to me Register.

Special TslGgrdm 10 me Register.
WASHINGTON, January lit Is I'M
derstood to be part of the Republican
plan. when tho time comes to close the
debate OH the adoption of the proposed
gag law in the Senate, Ito hold that ap-
Deals from the decision of the Chair and
points of order are not debatable. If
they can maintain this position they ex-
meet TO gain their point aud cut oil de-
bate without being compelled TO resort
10 the Illegal expedient of refusing to
recognize Democrats, which would be
clearly violation OF the present Sen
ate rule. Senator Faulkner, OF West
Virginia, was detailed TO back up the
preccdents in support OF the Demo
cratic position that points OF order ana
appeals from the decision OF the char
are debatable Mr.. Faulkner has Tor
some DAYS been devoting himself to look
ing up the usage OF the Senate in the
mast in this matter, and he finds plenty
of ureeedents which fully sustain the
Democrats in their contention. In
fact. all the precedents are that way,
the Senate having decided again and
again almost unanimously that debate
is allowable in the circumstances indi-
Gated. This will leave the Republicans
in precisely the same position they are
now in, as the Democrats can keep up
the debate on appeals from the Chair
and on points OF order as long as they
can directly on the Force bill or on the
Gag law. Thus, when the decisive
point in the proceedings is reached next
week. the struggle is likely to settle
down to one of physical endurance ana
continuous all-day and all-night sessions
will probably be held until one side Is
exhausted.

CLARKsBURG, January Col. Vance
Is on top! The city election came of
to-day with the following results: Col.
John C. Vance. Squire w. L. Camp and
JASPER Pew were candidates for the Of
flee of mayor. The REGISTERS readers
will remember that some time ago 4
full report appeared in the paper re-
garding feud between W.F. Richards,
the present mayor Of Clarksburs and
Col. John c. Vance, mayor-elect, which
resulted in almost the death OF the
former. The present election was
looked forward TO with more than ordi-
nary interest by our citizens, from the
fact that the fight was TO be wholly one
OF principle and vindication between
Richards and Vance. Great was the
surprise when the polls opened this
morning and found waiting the tickets
struck last evening at the Telegram
Office with w. L. Richards name on for
Mayor. This fact alone was looked upon
as an admission Of the wrong Richards
had done, but the work by Col. Vance
and that Of his friends were not abandon
ed until the majority OF 220 was rolled
up. This is the largest majority ever
given in our city.
Another telegram says: "At the
municipal election to-day JohnC. Vance
was elected Mayor, Marcellus NJ.
Thompson Recorder, and 7. =. Brennan.
Jos. Mcconnell, +. A. Lang, c. NJ. Hart

said, did not permit his name TO be placed

The Feud Breaks Out.

CORK. January 1.-The feud existing
between the Archbishops and the Par
nellites, which has been slumbcrlng
since the election In North Kilkenny
burst forth iercely to-day, and the most
bitter feeling prevails ON both sides.
Mayor Horgan, an earnest supporter of
PANEL was installed at the town hall
to-day as Mayor OF Cork amid a scene
OF intense enthusiasm on the part OF the
Parnellites
This trouble manifested itself when
the arrangements were being made
during the morning for the customary
installation ceremony at the Catholic
cathedral, which has always formed
part Of the days proceedings. The Par
nellitcs were then informed first by
rumor, and afterwards as positive
fact, that tue installation ceremonies
at the cathedral must be aban-
doned, as the Bishop, the Right Rev. 4.
\. OCallahan, ID. d., refused 10 receive
the Parnellite mayor. This information
was greeted with many signs OF extreme
indignation by the Parnellites. who are
now convinced that the battle with the
priesthood is only in its early stages and
that long and desperate struggle for
supremacy between themselves aud the
priests may be looked forward to
throughout Ireland il Mr.. Parnell r'-
mains at the head Of his faction OF tho
Irish party.

Between the Workers at the Braddock,
Pa. steel Works and "Huns."
PrrrSBURG. PA, January The
strike OF the Hungarian furnacemen at
the Edgar Thompson Steel Works, at
BraddOck, Pa, resulted in serious
riot this afternoon in which four men
were seriously hurt aud dozen others
were battered and bruised. The Hun
garlans quit work at midnight and the
plant was partially idle, only about 100
men being at work repairing the furnace.
About l o'clock a crowd Of 200 strikers
arrived with clubs, picks, ShoyelS, re-
volverS, bars of iron aud every other
conceivable weapon, and made an attack
on the furnace. The men ut work were
wholly unprepared for the assault, but
they bravely stood their ground and 4
bloody riot was the result.
The bowling mob of Hungarians used
their weapons freely, and men were
knocked down, dubbed, bruised and
numerically beaten. The fight lasted
nearly half hour, and when the Hun
garianS were put % flight II was found
/ that Michael Quinn. Andrew Kramer
/ John Nelson and Patrick Briggs, al
w0rkmen. had been seriously wounded
and at least a dozen others more or less
/ injured. Quinu'S injuries may result
fatally, but the others are not danger
Ously hurt
The police about the works being un,
able to qsell the disturbance the sheriff
was called upon. He Swore in 2OC
deputies and will increase the number
70 1000 tomorrow il necessary. He
ordered all the saloons in Braddock closed
and will remain on the ground until the
strike is settled. The feeling against
the HuugarianS is very bitter and Sc
rlous trouble is apprehended. Five OF
the rioters were arrested tonight ano
lodged Ia jail in default OF $1,000 bal
each.

Ohio to be Tried for Murder.

TT. WAYNE, IND, January i.-Since
Marvin Kuhns has learned that the
Seneca county officials have applied tc
Governor Campbell for requisition
papers he has been exceedingly nervous,
and does not want TO be placed at the
mercy of Ohio courts for the murder OF
William Campau and has been planning
10 avoid it. So to-day he employed an
attorney to draw up writ OF habeas
corpus. demanding release from the
county jail on the ground that there Is
no charge pending against him In this
county.
The order was served, and Sheriff
yiberp took Kuhns from jail into the
Sunerior Court and asked for stay OF
proceedings until Friday afternoon.
Prosecutor Robinson says it will do
Kubns no good, for il he is released
there are enough charges against him
for horse-stealing to hold him, but the
Ohio officials should come and get their
man as soon as possible. He walked to
the Court room, a distance OF half q
mile. guarded by the Sheriff and three
Sennties. with a firm step, and gave no
outward sign that ne carried seven bull
lets In bis body.
