The New York Legislature has
decided to appoint a committee to in
vestigate the Federal census. The
Republicans opposed the PROPOSE
ton on the ground that it threw
discredit on the government and
Superintendent Porter; but the
Democrats refused to accept this
doctrine, and held that If the census
was not defective it could stand an
Investigation, and If 1t was fraudu-
lent the fact ought to be brought
out. 1t is understood the commit
tee will summon Superintendent
Porter and other heads of the CEN
sus bureau before it and put them
through thorough examination as
to their methods of conducting the
census. 1t is believed by many
that eoptor knows his returns to be
fraudulent, particularly In tho city
of New York, and that if he is put
on oath he will be compelled to ac-
knowledge frauds and make other
unpleasant confessions; but probab.
ly he will plead his privilege, that
State legislature has no right to
investigate Federal officer as to
the discharge of his duties.

The Electoral Vote OF 1902.

Several public journals have been
misled into the statement that the
Electoral College of 1892 will con-
sist of the number of Senators and
Representatives in the present Con-
gress, and not of the increased
number fixed by the now appor-
tionment law.
In all instances when the Presi-
dental election occurred two years
after the census had been taken, and
Congress had fixed the number of
Representatives in time, tie num-
Der of Electors was fixed by the
number of Representatives for tho
new decade. Thus in 1868 there
were 294 Electoral votes and in
1872 there were 324. The same
conditions existed in 1852 and 1862,
and with the same result.
But quibblers might split hairs
over the question were it not for
the revised statutes, which conclu-
sively settle it. Section 132 of
Chapter says that the number of
Electors snail be equal to the num-
Der of Senators and Representa-
tives to which the several States
are by law entitled at the time
when the President and Vice Pres.
ident to be chosen came into office.
Tie same statute has proviso ex-
cepting the foregoing declaration
when Congress shall fail to make
the new apportionment before the
the Presidential election.
There can be no doubt, therefore,
that the new apportionment al,
ready passed by Congress fixes the
electoral vote for 1892. The full
College will consist of Al members,
and 223, will be necessary to elect.

 sweetheart and Ia Fatally Shot.

MARQUETTE, Mich. Sept. le.-The daughters of Capt. John McEneroe at lshpeming were aroused about 1 o'clock this morning and saw 8 rough ly dressed man moving about the hall They alarmed their brother Will, who slept in an adjoining room. He went out with 8 lamp and revolver and de- handed the intruder's business. He obtained no reply. The wind blew his lamp out. He then fired two shots.
 The stranger started down stairs, where he was met by Capt. McEneroe, who ordered him to throw up his hands or tell who he was. Receiving no reply, McEneroe fired three shots, each of which took effect.
 When the lights were brought the supposed burglar was discovered to be Oscar Jossela, Finn working under Capt. McEneroe at tho Lake Superior mine. A Finnish servant girl named Annie Tokaleskalta at once threw her self upon the dying man and sobbed out that he was her lover and admitted that they had been carrying on an in- trigue flor some time. Jossela's re- fusal to answer any summons or reveal his identity cost him his life, for he died in few minutes.

HUGHES IS FOUND.
Tho Miss1ng WOodlawn, Ill., Post
 master is in Racine.


 CHICAGO, Sept ICE. A. Hughes, the missing Woodlawn ex-postmaster, has been found. Almost simultan- eously with the arrival of postoffice inspector to look after the accounts of the Woodlawn postoffice Mir. Hughes father received a message from rela- tives at Racine, Wis, asserting that MT. Hughes was in that city Mir. Hughes, Sr., said that his son some time ago cut his hand severely, and since that time has been subject to periodical spells of mental aberra- tion. He could give no other reason for the x-postmaster's sudden flight.
 Hughes disappeared last Thursday morning. He had with him when he left home $l25, which he took from the postoffice. Early Thursday morning Hughes arose, counted his money, and attached bay horse to his buggy. He then took a shotgun and told his wife he was going to Lake Calumet to visit relatives, Friday he did not return, and Mrs. Hughes, becoming alarmed, sent to her relatives at Lake Calumet, who replied that Hughes had not been there. Mrs. Hughes at once went to the police with description of her husband. The Woodlawn office has no connection with the local postofiice, and Col. Sexton does not know any, thing of the condition of Hughes ac- counts There is as yet no reason to believe there is a shortage beyond the S125."

MADE IT HOT FOR THE BISHOP.
Methodist Ministers object to thc
 "Reign Of SIlence., system.

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. Sept 16.-The Michigan conference closed with a wig orous kick on Bishop Newman. who presided over the session. He directed at the opening of the session that if any of the brethren had any desire to communicate in regard to their ap- pointment for the ensuing year they should present their cases before Sat urday night, as then a reign of silence" would bc inaugurated, and neither pastor nor laymen would be permitted to say word in regard to the disposition to be made for next year.
 This rule stirred up much i'll feeling, especially as most of the time during the days of grace was taken up with business and the pastors had no chance to make showing. Tonight when all other business except the appoint ments had been disposed of A. J. Fl. dred introduced . resolution sharply criticising the bishop for the reign oi silence" system of doing business, cedent and subversive of the rights and interests of the pastors
 The resolution was received with ap. piduSe huu was uotly uiSCuSSeu. II was charged that the elders were re- strained by solemn oath imposed by the bishop not to reveal any of the ap pointments to be made, nor to com municate with the brethren upon the disposition to be made of them after Tuesday night, and this was pro nounced unjust and unwarranted and contrary to the rights of American citizens, who did not recognize any lSingly prerogatives in any body
 Tho criticism did not please the bisn op. He took it good naturedly, however and himself put the question The vote stood los to 50 in favor of the bishop and the resolution was de feated. About one hundred pastor. did not vote, The appointments were then announced.
 John W. Army, of horse -trottins fame, is returned to his charge at Sar anac, and not a word was said agains him during the day.

Tho Mysterlous Woman at Cincin- natl Becoming Mixed Up in she Great Irish Sensation She
 Proposes to Lecture.

CINCINNATI, Ohio. Sept. l6.-Miss Vera Ava has found friends Tn the members of the Woman's Christian Temperance union. One whose duty it is to visit the jails brought her to- day some necessary clothing. Miss Ava says this was done after they re- ceived assurances from the Chicago society that she had been a contribu- tor to their funds in that city, and so she regards this kindness as proof of the biblical injunction, Cast thy bread upon the waters" When asked if she had any plans she quickl, said the ladies were to arrange for lec- ture and with the proceeds she would | return to Chicago.
 'I am not afraid to return" said she, ''for like Mohammed. can say: with God on my side l have a majority" '" And then, laughing, she added And if I am Mime. Blavatskv and gifted with the occult power of reappearing after cremation l certainly should not fear mortal man."

FAVOR THE CANTEENS.
Onicial Reports to Secretary Proctor on the Govcrnment HNr.RoOma.

WASHINGTON, Sept, i6.--Col B E. A. Crofton's report ot the success of the "canteen" at Fort Sheridan, Illinois, will not be an encouraging contribu- ton to the temperance workers who are making war on Secretary Proctor to have him close army 'canteens. The canteen is the institution run by soldiers at army posts, where they may get beer and refreshments and play billiards without resorting to out side saloons. It has been attacked as . government bar-room by the tenn perance people who are laboring earnestly to have it abolished.
 Secretary Proctor has been getting reports on the system in order to base . judgment, good or bad, on the much assailed canteen. Col. Crofton's report was received at the war department 70 day and bears date Sept 8. He says the Fort Sheridan canteen has been in operation since last April and has proved an entire succ sss. He believes that the contentment of the soldiers is much increased by well run canteen, and he advises that new buildings be provided for perfecting the canteen system at the post
 This is substantially the same as most OI the commanding OuceTS OI posts report. Col. Smith, in command at Fort Wayne, near Detroit, says the canteen at his post ''has been a great benefit and advantage to the com mand." Major Coates, in command at Fort Mackinac, writes: 'sThe canteen is in full working order. It has had, I think, an excellent effect upon tho welfare of the command, and is appre- ciatod by the men. Our canteen has . billiard-room with one table, . lunch room in which beer and such other supplies as are authorized by the can teen council are sold. The billiard room and rcading-roOm are provided with games and tables and are made attractave and comfortable. Capt. Towie.
