"Miss Thomas displayed her pure
sweet voice advantageously in an aria
from Masie's opera of Paul and vir

Lynch law, Jim Crow" cars and sepa-

SIMPSONS CANDIDACY.
HE SAYS 1T Is DUE TO 4 DESIRE TO
HELP THE POPULIsTs.
Confidence Growing in Republican Circles
fere In Any of the Contested Cases.

TOPEKA, KAN, Dec. 26.-Congressman
Jerry Simpson arrived here yesterday in
time for Christmas dinner, but his ar
rival was not generally known until to-
day. This morning he put all doubts TO
rest concerning his candidacy for the
United States Senate by announcing that
he was a capdidate. He said. however,
that his presence was due more to a desire
to help the Populists than an endeavor
to organize the House in his own interest.
The organization Of the House. he
further said depended upon the supreme
court, before which the House contest
cases had been filed. OF course the court
could not finally settle the contest, but
what the court could do was to prevent
a man from working a wrong, which was
all the Populists asked.
Confidence grows in Republican circles
that the supreme court will not interfere
In any Of the cases. They have employed
attorneys to appear i'm behalf Of the State
and county boards Of canvassers, but
they are not expected to make a very
great effort a prominent Republican in
timated as much this morning, and also
said that as none OF the contested cases
were based upon the charge Of fraud the
court would take no action in the mat
ter The charge of fraud was the only
one the court could recognize as Jus'
basis for action.

Eleciinn Retmrns Missing.

LONG ISLAND CITY, n. Y, Dec. 26.-.
Assistant City Clerk Hayes, in compliance
with the order issued by Justice Bartlett
in Brooklyn Saturday, compelling him
to forward the returns Of the last election
10 inspectors for correction. went to the
city clerks Office this morning and found
that sCme OF the returns were missing.
Hayes at once reported the matter at the
police station.
There have been two policemen on guard
in the city clerks Office since election.
They declare positively that none of the
returns are missing. They say that no
one has been 10 the safe since City Clerk
Burke disappeared.
Assistant City Clerk Hayes returned from
the police-station with some officers and
made a thorough search. He found all the
returns missing. Two officers who were
guarding the safe still say that no one was
at the safe while they were on duty.
Mayor Gleason, when told OF the disap-
pearGnce OF the returns, said: mo one Las
the combination but Clerk Burke and Assis-
tant City Clerk Hayes. lf the returns are
missing | know nothing about them. There
have been two policemen on duty In the
Office all the time, and | don't see how the
returns could be stolen, unless taken be-
fore the officers were placed on duty In the
office"
There was great excitement In Long
Island City as soon as it was heard thai
the returns were missing.

THE MGLYNN MATTER.
THE QUESTION OF ABSOLUTTON IN
THE MINDS OF THE PEOPLE.
A Well-Informed Clergyman Says the Mat
ter Has Received the Closest Attention
From Archbishop Corrigan.

NEW YORK, Dec. 26-The return of DR..
McGlynn to the fold Of the Roman Catho-
lie Church has brought up the question
in the minds of the people as to whether
those persons who had been ex-communi-
Gated from the Church for attending the
meetings of the Anti-Poverty Society af-
ter having been forbidden to do so by a
circular letter from the Archbishop OF
New York would be permitted to receive
absoluton. The question was propounded
to the rectors of many churches and by
the followers of DR.. McGlynn, but none
Of the pastors were willing to express an
opinion on the subject.
Many of those who have followed the
course of DR.. McGlynn and permit ed
themselves through their love for him to
disobey the mandates of the Church
have secretly regretted the matter. The
trouble which has been caused by the
death Of some Of the Anti-Poverty So
ciety members and the refusal OF the
Church to permit their bodies to be buried
in consecrated ground has caused the
friends of many Of those members to wish
that there might be some reconciliation.
A clergyman well posted on canOnical
law said Saturday that the matter of the
granting of absOlution to such Of hose
who had been communicated as might
apply for it, had already received the
closest attention from Archbishop corri-
gan, and that in due course of time the
matter would be made the subject Of
special circular to be used In the diocese.
The reporter called at the Archbishop
Episcopal residence on Madison avenue
t.1 ~,
bishop. He said: THE answer to your
question is very simple If twenty peo-
pie skating on the ice happen TO break
through. and the one who invites them
to go skating succeeds I'm escaping from
the pond the others who followed his
example are not rescued from the wafer
because their leader has escaped"
IF those who attended the Anti-Poverty
meetings wish to obtain absolution let
them apply for it in the proper way and
their request will be granted"

THE REsTORATI0Y OF M,GLYNN.
He Thinks He Said Enough in His
Lecture.

NEW YORK, Dec 26.-The much moo'ed
question as to the terms on which DR..
McGlynn was restored to his functions as
a priest of the Roman Catholic church.
was partially answered last night by the
priests declaration that he had made no
apologies to Rome. After his lecture in
Cooper Union a reporter asked him on
what terms he has been restored to the
priesthood.
"Well, / think l said enough about my
self in the lecture" replied the clergyman.
"Will the conditions of the conciliation
be given to the public through any other
source2" was asked. what do you mean
by conditions?" DR.. McGlynn asked with
some asperity.
The reporter suggested that apologies or
penances OF some KIND might be required
of him.
you have not seen any apologies, have
you? Well, then if there are no apollo
gies visible, even through a miscroscope,
ii is not probable that l made any. l have
not heard Of any apologies"
DR.. Edward McGlynn will in all proba
biity be under the jurisdiction Of either
Cardinal Gibbons, I'm the Baltimore do
cese or of Archbishop Ireland, Of st.
Paul diocese. There is little likelihood
that the restored priest will be ever sta
toned in this diocese, and according TO a
prominent ecclesiastical friend Of DR.. Nc
Glynn, he has the choice Of the above
two dioceses under consideration.
DR.. McGlynn this morning absolutely
declined to discuss the prospective field in
which he expects to resume his priestly
labors.

BLACKMA1L ON 4 GIGANTIC SCALE.
How the American Herr Uses the Panama
Corruption Fund.

NEW YORK, Dec 25-The SUMS Paris
special says: The relation Of the mystic
rious American, Herr, to Baron De
Reinachs Panama canal scandal is that
of blackmail on a gigantic scale Stolen
papers relating TO the distribution Of the
Panama corruption fund are said 10 be
in Herz's possession. and he is reported
to have used them TO bleed Reinach to
an amount vauously stated up 10 ten
million francs When the rumOrs of the
Panama cOrrupuOns began to be publicly
discussed, several weeks ago, Herr is said
TO have made them the basis for a fresh
demand for four million francs. He
threatened TO publish all his evidence in
two Paris newspapers if the money was
not paid 10 him. Reinach could not re-
spond. Herr was ineXOrable and Increased
the pressure. He affirmed that he could
stop the threatened great exposure If his
dema nds were satisfied Reinach, in his
extremity appealed to Rouvier. He re-
minded the Minister of Finance Of the
assistance he had rendered in the past,
and which ROuvier described in his in
discreet speech in the Chamber the other
day The distressed Baron begged him
to use every effort to prevent Herr from
executing his threats. Rouvier sought
Clemenceau's aid. The latter presently re-
ported that he could do nothing When
the result was made known to Reinach he
exclaimed, Il am lost" A day or two
later he was dead, whether by suicide or
murder is still an open question.
Herzs pursuit Of Reinach pitiless and
relentless for years, is described as one
Of the cruelest crimes in history. He was
almost penniess and without influence
when Reinach made him his protege. To-
dav ne has more than five million francs
in visible property in Paris and Frank
fort. besides large interests in England.
II is affirmed also that he himself instl-
GATED the briberies which he afterwards
used to ruin his benefactOrs.

Her Presents Too Many and Too Big for
Any Stocking.

NEW YORK. Dec. 26-The happiest
member OF the Cleveland household Is
little Ruth. Though some of her gifts
had been shown to her during the week,
most of them were reserved for Christ
mas. Ruth hung up a stocking Saturday
night and prayed that Santa Claus would
be very good TO her. AS soon as she
opened her eyes Christmas morning she
was carried by her nurse into the room
where her presents were arrayed. There
were so many and some OF them were
so big that no stocking ever made pcs
sibly could have held them. There were
enough dolls to stock a factory. They
were Of all colors and sizes, and dressed
In different costumes. The display was
very pretty one.
Ruth clapped her hands with delight
over these gifts. and at once insisted upon
having a party at which the dolls were
to be her guests. There were loads or
other gifts sent from almost every state
in the Union. For these Ruth cared
nothing in comparison with the dolls.
Nearly all day she played with them. and
when bedtime came she cried at having
to part with them.
Mr.. and Mrs. Cleveland were the re-
cipients Of many handsome gifts They
poured I'm from every section OF the coun-
try. There were very few callers. and
none came on political matters. There
were no guests at their Christmas dinner.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 26.-Mr. Blaine
continues TO get along quite as well as
could be expected. He passed fairly
good night. and this morning is as well
as he was yesterday, though the little ex-
citement which was unavoidable on ac-
count Of yesterday being Christmas day
naturally resulted N a little more exer-
tion than was good for him.
At the house this morning everything
was as quiet as if the Blaine residence
was out in the suburbs OF the city, in
stead of within a stones throw OF the
White House. Only very few callers
came 10 inquire about Mr.. Blaine's
health. The family are I'm much better
spirits now that Mr. Blaine has passed
a whole week without a recurrence of
the severe attack whose renewal Is
dreaded
At o'clock this evening Mr. Blaine was
resting comfortably, .and the family at
that hour expressed the belief that he
would pass another restful night. At the
same hour Mr.. Blaine's physician stated
that his patient was so much improved
that he did not expect to pay him an
other visit tonight.
