Quiet Meeting of the Senate Finance Com
mIttee at the Capitol.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 7.-[Special. 1.-The
meeting of the wise men in the desert, so
graphically described in the opening chap
ter of "Ben-Hur," was scarcely more soli-
tary than to-day's coming together of Sena-
tors Aldrich, Hiscock and Harris, In the
finance committee-room of the deserted
Capitol. The quick, incisive tread of Aid
rich, the sliding, shuffling steps of Hiscock,
and the almost tottering footballs of Harris
echoed through the bare corridors.
They met to put into shape
for the use of the Senate
all the available material that can now be
prepared under the Aldrich resolution of
March 8, calling on the Finance Committee
from time to time to report the effect of the
tariff laws upon the imports and exports,
the growth, development, production and
prices of agricultural and manufactured
articles, at home and abroad, and upon
wages, domestic and foreign.
The committee set for itself the task of
discovering the wholesale and retail prices
Of 240 articles of general and domestic use
for the past 50 years in Is different places,
also the rates of wages for the past half
century. The Finance Committee is assisted
by Carol D. Wright, Commissioner of
Labor; by J. D. Weeks, of Pittsburg, editor
Of the american Manufacturer, and by DR..
Faulkner, Professor of Political Economy
in the University of Pennsylvania.

He Ruins His Associates in Business by
His Shady Transactions.
KANSAS CITY, Nov. THE directors of
the Maine Banking Company are hourly ex-
pecting telegram from Maine announcing
there the arrest of A. E. Blanchard, Presi-
dent of the company, on charge of obtain
ing money by false pretenses 1t is
claimed that Blanchard, by a series
of shady transactions, including forgery,
has defrauded the creditors out
of thousands of dollars Blanchard in 1890
went into the banking business with capi-
tai of $50, 900. He was made President of
the bank, and while in the East secured
the services Of J. r. Clark as Cashier. Mr..
Clark is a young man and the son of
Horatio Clark, a director and wealthy
capitalist of Maine. From Mr.. Clark he
secured 100 on forged deed to prop
erty which he did not own, but which he
pretended to sell to Mr.. Clark.
DR.. B. A. Harding, of Blackstone, Ill,
Blanchard's father-in-law and a man of con-
siderable wealth, is also one of Blanchard's
victims. Blanchard would pretend to make
loans on gilt-edged security, would receive
the money from DR.. Harding with which to
make the loan, and then, it is charged,
would appropriate it to his own use. DR..
Harding says he has been ruined, but de-
clines to say how much he has lost. An
other loser is said to be Bates College, the
amount being $4,000 The officers in
Maine have been telegraphed to arrest
Blanchard.

DOM PEDRO HOPES TO RETURN.
Rumors Of Deal in Rio Janeiro Which
Would Make 1t Possible.


PARIS, Nov. THE Figaro to-day pub
fishes an interview with Dom Pedro, late
Emperor of Brazil, in regard to the recent
events at Rio Janeiro. During the course
of this conversation Dom Pedro said: II
know nothing about what has occurred
in Brazil during the past year. am
as. completely ignorant of the events
of yesterday as of those of
to-day. 1t has been my desire
to neither directly nor Indirectly cause civil
war" Continuing, Dom Pedro said that he
never wished to be anything but pastor
populi, and that if it was true that Com
modore Da Cana was becoming dictator,
the disappearance of the Da Fonseca gov
eminent might imply the restoration of the
empire. "Da Gama," he added. "was once
my most devoted friend, and if the people
appeal to their old Emperor I should i'm
mediately undertake to return and devote
my remaining strength to the happiness of
the people"
News was received to-day from Rio de
Janeiro that President Fonseca had held a
long conference with Viscount Ouro Preto
and Joaquin Nabuco They are both prom
inent Imperialists, and this has given rise
to the hope among supporters of the old
regime that Dom Pedro would be requested
to return to Brazil and take the throne. In
case of his declining the offer the story
goes that the throne will be offered to the
Comte d'Eau, the husband of Dom Pedro's
daughter These stories are merely rumors,
however. The President publicly promises
a constitutional government

THAT ARM0R PLATE TEST.
Results OF the First Days Firing Exar
ined by the Naval Board.

Results Of the First Days Firing Exam
ined by the Naval Board.
WASHINGTON, Nov 7.-[Special. 1.-The
armor plates tested at the Indian Head
proving ground, last Saturday, have been
taken from the backing, and the board in
charge OF the test went down yesterday, to
inspect the backs of the plates and the
wood backing on which they were mounted.
They found the back of the low-carbon
nickel steel plate about as was to be ex-
pected from the appearance on its face.
The two projectiles fred at the upper part
OF the plate remained sticking in the
wood backing. Bad holes were left
in the backing by the shots
fired at the center and lower left-hand
corner of the plate. There was also an in
dentation in the backing, under the point of
impact of the shot at the lower right hand
corner. The back of the high-carbon nickel
steel plate from the Bethlehem Iron Works
presented even better appearance than its
face seemed to warrant. There was less
cracking and less bulging of the back than
was expected, and the wood backing was
not broken, except slightly under the CEN
ter shot. The backing was so perfect, in
fact, that it will be used to mount another
plate on at the next days trial The back
ing of neither of the other plates can be
used over again.
The Harveyized all-steel plate did not
show up so we'll as its face would have indi-
Gated. The shots at the center and lower
left-hand corner, which had completely per-
forated the plate, were imbedded in the
backing, and though none of the other pro-
jectiles fired at the plate broke through its
back at all, there was under each shot such
a bulge of the metal as to indent and splin-
ter the backing. This accounted for the
relatively soft character of the body of the
plates. During the coming week three
more plates will be mounted, and the next
days firing will be on Friday.

SPLITTING UP A STATE.
A Falling Out Between Two Promi-

MAKING WISCONSIN DOUBTFUL.
Republicans Fearing and Democrats Hoping
That the Breach
WILL NEVER BE COMPLETELY HEALED
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE prspArcH.l

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DrsPArcH.l
MILWAUKEE, Nov. THE political
furry in Wisconsin over the clash between
Senator Sawyer and ex-Congressman La
Toilette has been watched with deep in
terest by men of both parties this week,
Notwithstanding the excitement Of the
election. The standing of the two men and
the circumstances surrounding their quarrel
lead Republicans to fear and Democrats to
hope that the outcome of it all will be that
Wisconsin will become an irretrievably
Democratic State.
The cause of the difference between the
Senator and the young ex-Congressman is
well understood in Washington, where all
last winter the so-called Treasury suits in
Wisconsin were discussed almost daily by
Northwestern politicians. For nearly 20
years Senator Sawyer has been bondsman
for Republican State Treasurers in his
State All of these Treasurers, without ex-
ception, have been nominated at his dicta-
tation, and most of them have been his
townsmen. Ex-Congressman Guenther, who
is now Consul General to Mexico, held the
Office of State Treasurer two terms, having
Pittsburg dispatch. [volume] (Pittsburg [Pa.]) 1880-1923, 1891-11-08

Sawyer, and as there are a good many of them
they represented an important part of Sem
ator Sawyer's political machine in Wiscon-
sin. Among them, notwithstanding his
plea in behalf of the vaults in the Capitol,
xas the bank in Vernon county, of which
Uncle Jerry Rusk has always been PresH
dent.
With the election of the Democratic ad-
ministration in Wisconsin last year there
began at once the agitation of the question
whether the various Republican ex-Treas-
urers could be made to return to the State
the interest they had received on State
moneys placed in private banks. This at
once put Senator Sawyer in a decidedly un-
pleasant position. One at least of these ex
Treasurers had gone through bankruptcy,
and the interest he had received during his
four terms of service would have to be paid
by Senator Sawyer, if it could be collected
of ANYBODY. This interest is roughly esti-
mated to be about S120. 900 for that Treas
urer alone.
A Heavy Burden of Defense.
AS some of the bondsmen are dead, and
others are hot so easily accessible through
the courts as Senator Sawyer, there natnr-
ally rested upon him heavy burden of
defense.
The Democratic Attorney General began
test suits, and Senator Sawyer retained c.
w. Felker and S. u. Pinney, two of the
best known Democratic lawyers in Wiscon-
sin. The facts. after a good deal of legal
skirmishing, stand admitted, and the trial
of the test case is to decide simply legal
questions.
The defense rely upon the fact that the
law of the State made the Treasurer not
only the custodian of State moneys, but also
the insurer against any possible loss. The

SETTLED EY A COMPROMISE.
How Two Candidates Concluded 1t Was
Best to Fix Things.

SCRANTON, Nov. IL Special Court has
been engaged since Thursday in ascertain
ing the official majorities received by State
and local candidates. a most unusual case
arose. w. S. Hopkins, Republican, and
Henry Koehler, Democrat, were candidates
for the office of Register of Wills Before
the Official count began Mr.. Koehler had a
slight plurality. The discovery of an error
put Hopkins in the lead Another error
gave Mr. koehler the advantage. And SO
it went, in the see-saw style.
When the count ended, the vote stood
tie. To break this the Court ordered the
ballot boxes brought into court for slight
pretext, and the county was secured by
court messengers. When the last box was
opened this morning, a change of one vote
was found for Mr.. Koehler. Then the. e
was a move to bring in more boxes. but
both of the candidates were now scared and
proposed compromise. This was effected
by an agreement to hire deputy to run the
office at $500 a year, and to divide the pro-
ceeds. Mr.. Koehler is to bear the title of
register
