THE INVESTIGATION BEGINS.

The first meeting Of the executive
committee Of the local directory Of the
Worlds Fair was held to-day to invests
gate the charges formally made by the
labor people on the subject OF conces-
sions made to Conkey for tho Worlds
Fair catalogue, and fancy for the
Worlds Fair directory, which conces-
sions were assigned to one company in
corporated by COnkey and Taney, with
capital stock OF hall million dollars.
1t was proved that these concessions
were granted without asking for bids
from competing printing houses. Be-
yond this point nothing definite was
developed. 1t is believed, however,
that this alone will cause both conces.
sions to bo annulled. The board OF
control investigating committee, ap-
pointed at Commissioner ST. Clair's re-
quest, will meet tomorrow. Charles
II. Taney, OF Wheeling, is expected to
testify tomorrow.

THE Address.
ga word on thu reported difference
between Mgr. satollis' address aud tho
resolutions Of tho archbishops on the
school question. Whatever may be the
private opinions OF some prelates, q
matter Of which know nothing. l am
very sure that there is no contradiction
whatever between the official reso-
lutions OF the conference and the dis:
course Of Mgr. satolli. The reading OF
resolutions and discourse tells all this.
II Is absurd to suppose that the arch
bishops would officially put themselves
on record against the representative OF
the pope, speaking in the name OF the
pope. They formally take in their
resolutions as the basis Of their con.
clusionp, tho DEGREES Of Baltimore and
the decisions of the Holy See, both the
words and decisions Of tho Holy See.
They make room for all explanations
and developments OF the decree OF
Baltimore, which may have come from
Rome since the holding Of the council,
as for instance, the decision in the so
called Farlbault case, and the very
teaching OF Mgr. Satolli voictng for
America tho mind OF Rome.

LATEST FROM ALL OVER,
The Electoral VOte-Ransas for the
Popuiists-CalifOrni Figures

New YoRK, Nov. 14.--Clevcland's vote
in the electoral college, according to the
last returns, is 271, without California and
Ohio, which are claimed by both parties.
If he gets these the vote would stand:
Cleveland, 300; Harrison, 11S; Weaver, %.
This is based upon the report that Colo
rado, Idaho, Kansas, Nevada, and North
Dakota arc for Weaver, and Michigan
divided, giving Harrison eight and Cleve-
land six votes. Nebraska and South
Dakota are Republican, and the Repub-
licans appear to have one of Ohios
twenty-three electors.
Topeka, Kas.-The Republicans con-
cede the defeat of both their state and
national tickets by maiorities of about
1000. They concede that the Populists
will have small majority in both bran
ches of the legislature and this will prob
ably send Populist to the United States
senate. Funston, Republican, has been
elected to congress in the I'd district by
less than 200 majority.
San Francisco,--Later figures from the
state, outside of San Francisco, show
that the official count will be necessary to
determine what electors have been chosen.
The Republicans claim the state for Har-
rison by 1000, and the Democrats claim
it for Cleveland by 800.

PUBLIC BUSINESS.
IL Will Move Right Along Regardless
of Change in the Admin
istratiOn,

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-THE policy of
the administration in regard to federal
appointments is only partially indicated
by the presidents action in filling the
vacant consulship at Hamburg. That
simply means that public business will
not be allowed to suffer in any quarter,
and that all appointments will be made
regardless of the prospective change of
administration.
It was said at the White no use to-day
that the president has decided to pursue
a strictly conservative course in all mat
ters relating.to appointments. He does
not desire to lay the administration open to
the charge of arbitrarily depriving the in
coming administration of patronage in
spirit of vindictiveness or relation. Con-
sequently he will extend the classified
service only to the degree which he had
determined upon in case he was reelected.
This decision, it is SAID, will not effect
more than half dozen positions in
each department. 1t states that the presi-
dent does not desire to take the govern
ment printing office into the classified
service as urged to do, The bureau of
engraving and printing is naturally
Within its lists now. Within three days
past each head of the department has
been fairly besieged by employees, who
were not appointed under the civil ser
vice law, to be taken into the service in
some way, in order to afford them pro-
| lection. 1t is said that this class of the
employees are very much alarmed as they
fear the incoming administration will
pursue more aggressive policy than
Mr.. Cleveland did during his former
term.

"SOme MOre" Trouble.

New YORK, Nov. 1.-THE authorities at
Washington evidently fear that serious
trouble may soon arise in Samoa and
have decided to take steps to protect the
interests of the United States in that
country by the presence Of an American
war ship, says the Herald's Washington
correspondent. 1t will be well toward
the middle of January, however, before
the Ranger, which has been ordered to
Samoa, reaches her destination. In the
mean time matters may have shaped
themselves so as to place American inter
ests in great danger. A letter received
here from resident of Apia confirms the
news received by the authorities at Wash
ington about the threatening aspect in
Samoa. Both political and business af-
fairs are reported as being in bad way.
The natives have been dissatisfied with
the workings of the Berlin treaty for more
than two years, says the writer, and a
majority of the white residents share
their dissatisfaction.

HOSS AND HOSS.
Prize Beauties and Other Features
of the Great Equine Exhibition
In New York.

New YORK, Nov. 14.-When the doors
of the Madison Square garden open this
evening the scene within will be one of
extraordinary interest. 1t is the opening
night of the eighth annual exhibition OF
the National Horse Show association, and
every class is practically full, the entries
including the finest animals ever seen at
an exhibition of this kind in America.
The amount to be distributed in prizes
this year is over $4,000, which is more
than has ever before been offered by any
horse show in the world. Last year the
prizes aggregated $4,000. Among the
thoroughbreds entered are Saxony by
Saxon; imported Lunar Eclipse; imported
Dandie Dinmont, by Silvio; Mikado and
others. In the list of Arabs there is Leop-
ard, formerly the property of Gen. Grant,
and Accionista, owned by Mr.. Baldwin, of
San Francisco. There will be big i'm
provement in trotters, even over those
entered last year, which were quite fine
The champion prize this year will be
$1,000 open only to stations having
taken a first prize at any recognized
horse show. Old timers like Haldene,
Quartermaster, Mambrino King, and AL
cantarta are here, and the prize will un-
questiouably go to one of these unless
some surprisingly good stallion material
has turned up since last fall Some of
these will also compete for the 81 500
prlze offered for stations to be shown
with four of their get. Twenty roadsters,
about dozen of which will try for road
rig prizes, will be on hand. The latter
will be very interesting, as there is always
good deal of emulation on the part of
exhibitors to see who can get up the most
taking rigs. The association has hereto
fore had trouble in obtaining good fill
ing for the heavy -draught stallion classes.
This year the Canadians have interested
themselves in the matter, and have made
extensive consignments. Robert Davies,
of Toronto, and the Graham Brothers. lay
themselves out trying to beat each other.
The hunters and jumpers always afford a
great deal of pleasure and amusement for
the spectators. They will have plenty of
opportunity to enjoy themselves this
year, as every crack hunter in the country
has been entered. Among the owners
represented is no less person than Mr..
Hugh j. Grant, mayor of this big city,
who has of late developed an extraor-
dinary interest in horse flesh 1t is pre-
dicted of Mr. Grant that before long he
will not need to have been mayor of New
York in order to be great, as he will be-
come famous for his horsiness. Mr..
Grant has entered handsome gray geld
ing named Oxford, which is said to be
| willing to take high fences, If the mayor
himself elects to ride him good deal of
interest will be added to the show. Be-
sides the horses there is fire array of
new and curious turnouts, which will
prove that the brain of the man who ar
chitects fashionable vehicles must be
very active. The show lasts through the
week, and the interest taken in the affair
is best demonstrated by the prices paid
for boxes, the average being almost
| 5000.

New YORK, Nov. 1.-Two or three bits
of cabinet-naking gossip got out to-day.
General Patrick A Collins of Boston Is
over here on Mr.. Cleveland invitation and
spent the entire forenoon yesterday with
the presidont-elect. Democrats hero say
that 1t is settled that he will be secretary
of war. A delegation of Chicago boomers
are on their way here to argue the claims
of franklin McVeagh for secretary of
the treasury. He is a brother OF Wayne
McVeagh, and is a rich grocer in Chi
cago. New Jersey Democrats to-day are
talking of Senator Mcpherson for the
same place.

The Next Senate.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-THE senate
seems yet to hang in the balance and may
be tie, although it is certain that it
will be in accord with the house in re-
gard to low tariff. The latest figures
show that the senate will stand: Forty
two Republicans, forty-two Democrats,
four Populists, the later being South
Dakota one, Kansas two, and Nevada one.
OF these, the only one who can be counted
on to vote with the Republicans is PETER
of Kansas. Of the other two senators,
Kyle of South Dakota and Stewart of
Nevada, the former has always voted
with the Democrats. Stewart is now a
Populist. Exactly who will be the new
senator from Kansas Is not known but if it
is Simpson, as is rumored, then, of course,
he will vote with the Democrats.

Judge James Brown and other Democratic
orators. The town turned itself loose
and Harrison was burned in effigy in
front of the house of H. II. Briggs, the
only Republican left here.

Legislative Tie.

DENVER, Nov. 1.-THE complexion of
the senate of the 9th general assembly is
now definitely known, though very slight
changes may occur on the official count.
A careful revision of the full unofficial
returns thus far received from the sixty
five counties shows that II Republican
senators have been. elected, with IL anti
Republicans Democrats, Populists and
Fusionists), There are 12 hold-over
senators, of whom are Democrats and
Republicans, One is a Populist, This
gives the Republicans 16 votes in the
senate; opposition, 10, The house has 81
Republicans to 81 anti-Republicans. The
legislature is thus probably tie on joint
ballot,
