An Episode Between a Russian Cabinet
Minister and q Rich Hebrew.

An Episode Between a Russian Cabinet
Minister and a Rich Hebrew.
By Associated Press.1
ST. PETERSBURG, Jan. 20.-A we'll
known Hebrew banker named Baron Ginz-
burg last week waited on M. Durnovo,
Minister of the Interior, and asked him to
try to alleviate OF to postpone the carrying
out of the edicts which had been issued for
the repression of Hebrews in Russia.
During the interview the baron handed to
the Minister an envelop containing q check
for /, O00, 900 roubles, payable to the order OF
NJ. Durnovo and Endorsed by the Mendels-
sohns, of Berlin.
M. Durnovo subsequently, obtained an
audience with the Gear and gave him the
check, telling him of the manner in which
it had come into his possession. The Gar
thereupon gave orders for the arrest of
Baron Ginzburg, and sent an aide de camp
to interrogate the Baron in regard to the
matter. The Baron admitted in part the
accuracy of the statement made
by NJ. Durnovo. He declared.
however, that the check was not
given as bribe, but as an ordinary
banking transaction, as the books of his firm
would show. Upon an investigation being
made, the books proved that the order had
been received in the usual manner from Ber-
lin. When these facts were told to the Gar,
he ordered that the prisoner be released from
custody. Orders were also given to return
the check to Baron Ginzburg, but he refused
to take it. The Gear thereupon ordered that
halt of the money be given to the Red
Cross Society and the other half used for
the rlieef OF the poor.

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPArCH.l
NEW YORK, Jan. 20.-The seventeenth
annual meeting of the Society for the Sup
preston OF Vice was held tonight at Asso-
citation Hall. Samuel Colgate presided.
Secretary Anthony Comstock made a
long statement, from which it appeared
that 141 arrests were made in 1890, and that
more than two tons of obscene mat
ter were seized. About 250, 900 lottery
tickets and circulars were found, 8,811 OBJ
jectionable circulars and pamphlets, $50, 900
pool tickets, betting books, etc, 16, 901 poker
and other chips, 1888 faro tally cards and
10000 green goods circulars were destroyed.
Mr.. Comstock told with much fine detail
of his work and that of his assistants, and
said that attempts had been made to bribe
him, but he had refused to be bribed. One
of the would-be bribers was an
actress, he said, who had written a
wicked book. The publishers to whom
she took the manuscript said they were
afraid to publish it and told her Comstock
would get after them. The actress was bold
enough to go aud see Comstock and
submit the wicked book to him. He read it
and told her it must not be printed. She
offered him money, he declared, if he would
let her go ahead and print it. When he
refused she wanted to take out the very
wicked parts and leave just enough in so
that he could find "a little fault with it, -"
and give her little advertising that way.
The Rev. H. L. Wayland, Baptist min
lister from Philadelphia, then read long
address praising Mr.. Comstock and his
work. Mr.. Wayland compared him to St.
Paul and General Grant and George WASH
ing!on; to st. Paul because be had been
scourged in the fight for right, and to Cen
erals Grant and Washington because he
uses artifces to catch and conquer the

ing to put upon some of the people Of the
country an unwarranted, controlled and
ignorant vote, while denying that vote to
the same class of persons in the District OF
Columbia.
Then discussion arose upon PROPOSE
tion TO close debate on an important par
agraph. Mr.. McComas having made q
motion to that effect, Mr.. McCreary moved
to amend it by limiting the debate to one
hour A point of order was raiaed against
the amendment on the ground that motion
to close debate was not amendable by mo-
tion to limit debate. The participants in
the discussion were: On the Republican
side, Messrs. McComas, Adams, OF Hi
nois, and Mr.. Grosvenor; and on the
Democratic side, Messrs. Blount, Nc
MILAN and McCreary. Mr.. Bland, OF
Missouri, rising to discuss the question, Mr..
Boutelle, OF Maine, created some merriment
by suggesting that as the Democratic candi-
dates ior the Speakership had each scored a
point. the Chairman should give his ruling.
Pending decision, the committee rose.
The Speaker laid before the House re-
quest for the return from the Senate of bill
for the relief of Sarah E. E. Perine, an
error having occurred in its enrolment.
Mr.. Breckenridge, of Kentucky, objected,
and Mr.. Rogers, of Arkansas, made the
point that there was no quorum present.
This point being found to be we'll taken, the
House adjourned.

ESPECIAL TELKGRAM TO THE orsPArcHI
NEW YORK, Jan. 20.-Mrs. Ahrens,
the mother of Miss Nellie Ahrens, In
Jefferson, near First street, Hoboken, called
at the police headquarters there to-day
and made an urgent request that Martin
Doerig be found at once and locked up.
Mrs. Ahrens explained that Doerig and
her daughter were engaged to be married,
and it had been arranged that the
marriage should take place Sunday
night. Miss Ahrens was ready, the
wedding feast had been prepared, and the
guests who had been invited were at the
house, but Doerig failed to appear.
After waiting for him until nearly mid
night all hope of his coming was abandoned,
and the guests took their departure. Miss
Ahrens was prostrated by the disappoint-
ment, and has not entirely recovered. She
cannot imagine any cause for Doerig's ac-
ton, but she is not inclined to be vindictive.
When her mother was told to-day by the
police that her daughters only remedy was
in civil suit for damages she exclaimed:
"We don't want damages. I'll have re-
venge. I'll hunt the scoundrel up and
scald him with vitriol. He shall not escape
so easily" a friend Of Doering's says he
has left the city.

Opponents Counter-Protest.

The Republican Minority Protests, and Their
Opponents Counter-Protest.
ST. PAUL. Jan. 2O.-The State Senate
this morning resumed the fight of last week,
which was the outcome of the division of the
committees. Last week the Republican
minority offered protest against the division
of the committees, alleging that in most
cases the 26 Republicans had smaller COM
mittee representation than either the IA
Alliance or Is Democratic Senators. This
protest was strongly worded, and the ma
jority tried in every way possible to sup
press it, but the constitutional provision
allowing minority protest carried the day,
and the protest was included in the records.
To-day Mr.. Donuelly presented a protest,
signed by the % Alliance and Democratic
Senators, protesting against the protest.
There was no constitutional provision for a
majority protest, and it was only after hot
parliamentary battle and a inal submission
of a motion to incorporate the protest into
the Senate proceedings that this second pro-
test was gotten through. The Republican
protest denounced the actions OF the major
ity, and this Alliance Democratic protest
denounces the first protest as "ridicuIously
false"
