MAKING OTHER ARRANGEMENTS.
Government Officials Who Expect to 500
End Their Term of Service

Government Officials Who Expect to Soon
End Their Term of Service
The interval between this time and the close
OF the present administration is being utilized,
to a large extent. by government officials who
expect then to retire from public life, in max
ing arrangements for other connections which
will have some salary attachment While.
no doubt, the giving up of the Office would
not be voluntary IL it was left
to the individual. yet in many cases the neces-
fitT will be welcomed that compels them to
such other means of livelihood There are no
doubt many men who cen earn, in private
life, more money each year than their salary
received from Uncle Sam amounts to,
but at the same time there is a reluctance to
give up certainty for uncertainty. some
OF the men released from official cares will re-
turn to their homes and resume their old oceu-
pations. while others will accept positions with
firms. Then there is class whose knowledge
and training in the government service gives
their special fitness to prosecute claims OF va
rlous kinds. They will open an Office in this
city and will continue to be residents here
There are a good many already in the field but
that is no reason why others and later corners
should not succeed.

TRAIN ROBBERS. BEATEN OFF.
First, However, They Mortally Wounded q
Man on His Wedding Trip.

First, However, They Mortally Wounded q
Man on His Wedding Trip.
Iron GATE, VA, Dec 10. "A desperate at
tempt at train robbery was made last night just
as the Chesapeake and Ohio vestibule train No.
4 was pulling out of Huntington, Va.
1t was about IL o'clock and the train was Just
getting well under way when the doors Of the
day cars were thrust open and four masked
men with two pistols each called upon the pas
sengers to throw up their hands. Two of the
passengers seized one of the robbers throwing
him down and attempting to disarm him.
In the scufhe one Of the passengers, Alger-
mar. from Cincinnati. who, with his wife, was
on his bridal trip to Europe, was mortally
wounded, the ball entering his abdomen.
Another passenger, Peter Droke of No. Is Vine
street, Cincinnati, was twice wounded, one ball
entering his leg ana one his arm. Meanwhile
Ticket Collector Zingley was trying to secure q
pistol, which he finally succeeded in getting in
the baggage car, and returning opened fire on
the robbers, emptying all of the barrels Of the
pistol. He again returned to the baggage car,
secured another pistol and commenced firing.
In the meantime the robbers had torn off
their masks and the whole train was in intense
excitement, women fainting. children screau-
ing and everybody who could seeking shelter
under the seats. The robbers, seeing their
game was up, pulled the bell cord. stopped and
jumped off in the darkuess. 1t was thought
that one or two of them were wounded but
this Is not certainly known. The men acted
like novices In the business and were armed
with very primitive pistols, about ten inches
long, two of which were found in the car after
their departure. detectives have been set to
work, and the company feels satisfied that the
robbers will be caught.
Passengers all speak in the highest commenda-
tion Of the bravery of Ticket Collector ling
ley.
Almosts single handed he met the quar- tet
and had he been at first armed would have made
t very interesting for them.

THE SHERIDAN STATUE.
Proposition to Change Its Location to in
Front Of the War Department.

Proposition to Change Its Location to in
Front of the War Department
There is talk today of a possible change in
the site OF the proposed statue to Gen. Sheri-
dan that is to be erected in this city.
The site at present fixed upon is the trian-
gular reservation ON Pennsylvania avenue in
front of the National Theaier, but the sugges-
ton has been made that it would be more APP
propriate to place the statue in front Of the
War Department, and this will probably be
done.
On the Pennsylvania avenue front of the War.
State and Navy building are two small reserva-
tons now planted in grass. one each side of
the main entrance 10 the War Department 1t
IL proposed to place the statue in one OF
these and if this is done the statue
Of Gen. Sherman will probably be located IN the
other. This would make decided improve
ment in the appearance of the front Of the
building, while the building would furnish an
appropriate and handsome background for the
two equestrian figures.
The proposition 10 change the site Of Gen.
Sheridans statue has been made known to Mrs
Sheridan and il is understood that she approves
Of it most heartily

The Trust viii Own Every Gallon in the

The Trust Will Own Every Gallon in the
Country in Two Years.
CHICAGO. Dec. 13.-According to William
Mida, editor of a monthly paper devoted to
the interests Of distillers and wholesale liquor
dealers, the trust has strong grip on the mar
ket, having virtually cornered whisky.
The whisky trust certainly controls tho
situation, said Mr.. Mida. at has the entire
spirit output of the country bought up. 1t has
in its possession 10000 barrels of spirits and
there is no doubt that the output of nearly all
the distillsries in the country has been bought
up ahead for many months. The idea with
those who are engineering the deal is
that the tax will be pu; whisky at this or
next session OF Congress There is another
point whore they are in control. The spirits
they have bought up will not come on the
market for some tine-say two or three
years. Now the visible supply in bond at
the present time is 100000 gallons. The
consumption is about 10000 900 gallons
nually, and as the trust owns large per cent
OF the visible supply it can be but a short time
until the surplus they do not own will be con-
sumed and they will own every gallon in the
country and absolutely control the market"

A REPUBLICAN CAUCUS,
An Address to BE Issued In Regard to I
Doubtful Legislatures.

An Address to BE Issued In Regard to the
Doubtful Legislatures.
The republican Senators met in caucus this
morning before the meeting of the Senate.
They had not finished when the hour arrived
for the meeting of the Senate, and recess was
taken un til after the Senate should adjourn.
Senator Stewart, who was at the Capitol did
not go into the caucus. 1t is expected that ne
will not go into any of the republican caucuses
When asked about the matter be merely smiled
and said "Well!" IN an inquiring manner.
While no conclusion was reached in the eau
Gus, the turn of the discussion indicated about
what they may do The purpose of the
caucus was to determineaupon a line of policy
with relation to the doubtful senatorships
The western Senators complained that
their brothers of the east were apathetic and
urged that there was more for the republican
party in having the populists hold the bal
ance of power than in letting the dem
ocrats organize the Senate. Some of the
western men who spoke urged that the
fact of the populists having the balance Of
power in the Senate would not prevent or in
any wav interfere with the democrats going as
far as they might want toward free trade. but.
on the contrary, would help them along to the
more radical course, the populists being out
and out free traders.
THE DOUBTFUL LEGISLATURES.
A suggestion urged was that something should
be done at once to counteract the report circu.
lated by the democrats that the republicans were
trying to steal the legislatures of Montana wyo-
ming, Kansas, North Dakota and Nebraska II
was declared by the Senators from that section of
the country that exactly the reverse was true
The democrats were trying to steal the legisla-
lures, they said, aud were crying catch thief
while they got away with the plumber.
1t was proposed that an address be
prepared and given to the country making an
accurate statement of the true situation, and
that committee be appointed to look after
the republican interests. The claim was made
that Wyoming was surely republican
unless most outrageous frauds were COM
mitted. and that in none Of the other
doubtful legislatures did the democrats have
a majority and in none were they in any better
position than were the republicans, the popu-
lists holding the balance of power. Some OF
the Senator'S advocated the adoption OF
the democratic tactics in one feat-
ure, and instead of letting the democrats
elect democratic populists to enter into a CON-
bination and elect republican populists. After
the Adjournment Of the Senate the caucus will
be resumed and a plan will be outlined in ac-
cordance, it is expected, with these several
suggestions.

BARON DE REINACH's LAST HOURS

The Paris "Gauiois'' Processes to Give an
Account of His suicide.
PARIS. Dec. I8.-The Gaulois today pub
fishes what purports to be an account OF the
last hours of Baron de Reinach, the banker, who
died in November under circumstances that led
to the general belief he had committed suicide
because of his connection with the Panama
canal scandal. The government recently
ordered that Baron de Reinach's remains be
disinterred and that examination be made to
decide the cause Of death. The official doctors
are not expected to make their report for some
time, as the autopsy will be very thorough.
The Gduiots claims to have knowledge of the
manner in which Baron de Reinach spent the
hours preceding his death The paper says
that after the final interview between Baron de
Reinach, NJ. Rouyier and NJ. Herr the baron
found that all hope of escaping the
consequences of his connection with the Panama
affair was gone. He returned to his home at
midnight. Arriving there he wrote many let
tiers and DESTROYED number OF documents.
After making these preparations he swallowed
quantity oil poison. The paper tells its story
with great particularly of detail. even saving
that the poison was taken at exactly l o'clock
in the morning.
1t is the general opinion that Baron de Rein
ach was with Arton, one OF the useful men,
OF the Panama scheme.
ANOTHER CRISIS IMPENDING.
NJ. Clemenceau, editor Of La Justice in to-
days issue admits that Baron de Reinach and
NJ. Rouyier visited HIM on the night of Baron
de Reinach's death, but he out and did not
see them. VI. Rouvier had explained to him in
the lobby of the chamber that Baron de
ReiDach was being driven mad by the cam
paign organized by the papers against him;
that 1t was for him question of life or death,
and he had wished that NJ Rouvier would ac-
company him to see Herr and they induced
him TO use his influence to stop the attacks.
In consequence of N. Clemenceau's letter in
the Figaro connecting NJ. Rouvier, the finance
minister, with the Panama scandal the latter
called upon President Carnot at the Palace Of
the Elise today and handed in his resignation
OF the finance portfolio.
The revelations made by NJ. C!emenceau az
to the visit paid him by Baron de Reinaeh and
VI. Rouyier have caused CONSERVATION among
the supporters of the government. 1t is said
that another ministerial crisis is impending and
that another political upheaval may be ex-
pected at any time.

The President Going Duck Shooting

The President is seriously considering the
question of seeking short respite from his
official duties. He win probably spend the
holiday recess At Benjies, Md, or at some
point on Chesapeake bay suitable for the
indulgence Of his favorite sport Of duck
shooting. His personal bereavements followed
closely by the arduous work entailed upon him
by the meeting Of Congress have made severe
drains upon his system, and he has decided
TO heed the advice OF his friends and take o
few days rest and recreation before the
wheels OF legislation revolve so rapidly as to
render such a course impracticable. With this
purpose in view he is now endeavortng to dis
pose OF all pending business and has already
made considerable Roadway in that direction.

port Of the committee on rules and it was agreed
