Evidence That tho NihiIist Was Mur-
 dered by Detectives for a Reward.
 SAN ANTONIO, Texas, Feb. 9.-The death of Padlewslxi, the Nihilist. grows daily in mystery, and it is now almost certain that the assassin of Gen. Seliv- erstoff instead of being suicide was the victim of the Czar's vengeance. It was supposed he committed suicide. but it is now known that the wound in Padlewski's head was inflicted by a wound of larger caliber than that of his own pistol found on him. Besides this, secret papers which he was known to carry were missing when his body was found, as were subsequently, the official papers concerning his death which were stolen from the District Clerks office. These facts, together with the knowledge that detectives were on the track of Padlewski, lead to the conclusion that Padlewslsi was murdered by detectives for the reward offered by the Russian Government for his apprehension dead or alive. Attor- ney James Wilson of Galveston had Hausers remains exhumed. He is the brother-in-law of the Russian Consul at Galveston.

NEW YORK SOLID FOR HILL.

TammanyItes Declare Cleveland's Nom
 nation Would Mean Defeat.
 CHICAGO. Feb. 9-"New York's dele gation in the Democratic national con vention will consist of seventy-two votes for David B. Hill for President. do not think Cleveland will have a single man among the New York rep resentatives on the floor" said Andrew J. White, police justice of New York city and grand sachem of Tammany hall, at the Auditorium to-day. Judge Whites sentiments and opinions were concurred in and approved by Commis- sioner of Public Works Thomas F. Gill roy and John Il. Mccarthy, promi- nent Tammany men who accom- pany Judge White. The three gentlemen are here to arrange for accommodations for the Tam many delegation which will com prise from 500 to LOGO members of that potent political organization. Incident ally the Tammany committee will make an effort to induce the local committee of arrangements to select the Auditorium as the meeting hall of the convention. Each of the three expressed his pref erence for the Auditorium and his dis like for the proposed big wigwam.
 Continuing his remarks about the New York Democracy, Judge White said: "Hill is by long odds the most popular Democrat in New York State. He is liked personally and for his prin- ciples. The difference between him and Cleveland is one of principle as we'll as personality. He is not as radical on the tariff question as Cleveland is, and in that comes nearer symbolizing the opinions of New York Democrats. Hill has also won the esteem and gratitude of the party by his work during the last seven years, while Cleveland has alien atcd all the friends ho ever had. Not a Democratic politician in New York State to-day would vote for Cleveland.

BAD AS ANARCHISTS.
PACKER wHITrAKER's OPINION
 OF THE SHORT SELLER.
4 st. Louis ana Kanaas Pork Pseuser oo Grain Desls-Anti-Opttonis n1svo = Inning Before Farmer Hstch's Aer1- cultural Committee.

WAsHIxeroN, Feb. 1.-The short peller is to-day the anarchist o1 America" said MT. John Whitaker, . large pork packer of St. Louis, Mo. and Wichita, Kan, in an address to the House Committee on Agricultnro, in advocacy of the anti-option bill.
 To Representative Alexander, Mir. Whitaker said that unquestionably the tendency of "short" selling was to de- press prices and tointerfcre with legiti- mate trade. Farmers. he said, were not compelled to market their grain instead of storing it; but the experience of the past eight years had taught them that holding wheat was '1osing game" and that with this unlimited short selling beat ing down the price" each year, the best time for them to sell grain was as soon as it was harvested.
 Wipe out, if possible, the short seller, the non-owner--in other words. the American Anarchist" said Mir. Whitaker, and added: ''That is what he is say it soberly. The short seller is to-day the Anarchist of America-the worst one we have. and he will make the farmer come down and sell his stuff under the red flag.
 Mir. Whitaker said that the wheat cx- ported this year had probably averaged in price 95 cents a bushel, and if this proposed law had been in force, he be- lieved it would have brought consider ably more than $1 bushel. He did not believe the law would hurt ownerB of real grain or provisions, because if fictitious offerings were done away with the market would be supplied with actual grain and provisions, and there being small quantity offered prices would be better. In New York it was regarded as neccseary to sell sO,OO0,0O0 bushels Of grain to market thrcc or four millionA We produced no coffee, and for thnt reason he believed in option selling in coffee. That gave the American citi zen cheaper coffee, as it enabled tho price to be fixed by sales of larRe quantity of coffee that was not In ex- istence.

 Reed on tho Lottery and Rules.
 WASHINGTON. Feb. 5.--After the House agreed to the new code of rules ex-Speaker Reed was asked to talk on the subject. He said:
 "The withdrawal by the Louisiana lottery of it's demand for new charter is one of the triumphs of the Fifty-first Congress. Now that the Supreme court has sustained the constitution ality of the act, even the lottery com pany recognizes the futility of it's future existence. The acts of the Fifty-first Congress shall stand we'll tho test of time"
 With regard to the rules just adopted Mir. Reed further said.
 1.-The principle of responsible govern ment in the House had been more ruth lcssly recognized in that part of the new regulations relating to the power of the Committee on Rules than was ever dreamed of in the Fifty-first Con- gress. Power to enforce the will of tho House was lodged in important meas ures in that committee so that party legislation could have full swing, while the bill of the individual member, even if approved by the House. was left to the mercy of the filibusters. The right of a present quorum had been denied and the farce of the mem Der present for the purpose absen. had been revived. All this, however, time and the Supreme court will take care of. The debate, however, has shown that the good example of the last two years has not been entirely lost. What used to be called tyranny" and is now on the road to be called ''good sense" has been established In the great and unexampled power conferred on the Committee on Rules The folly of wasting the time of the House in the reference of bills has been forever done away with.'
