MIR. CAMDEN,S C4NDIDACY.
Surprise at His Determination to Contes
for Senator Faulkner's Seat.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 5.-The announced
candidacy of ex-senator Camden, of West
Virginia, to succeed Senator Faulkner
threatens 10 renew the factlonal warning
among the Democrats In that state
which was brought to an end by the cleo
ton OF Mr.. Faulkner in 1887 At that time
Mr. Camden was a candidate for re-elec-
ton. but was so strongly opposed in his
own party that a disruption was threat
ened.
Mr.. Faulkners election was the result
of a compromise, but II was not until
several years had elapsed that the two
factions were apparently harmonized.
This condition Of things, 1t Is asserted,
was due 10 the labors Of Senator Faux
ner, and it was while the party was thus
united that the Democratic victories OF
$3.50 and 1892 were won.
Last spring Senator Faulkner an
nounced that he would be a candidate for
reelection. At about the same time, II is
alleged, ex-senator Camden in a pub
lished interview stated that he would not
be a candidate.
Senator Faulkner's friends express sur
prise that Mr. Camden has now entered
the field and accuse Camden Of breaking
faith. They claim that Senator Faulkner
merits reelection because Of his record
which includes an able lieutenancy 10

Mr.. Hill offered the following resolu-
ton. which, ct the suggestion OF MI
Chandler. went OVr- till tomorrow
Resolved. That the clerk of the Senate
be directed o transmit 90 the Secretary
of State a copy Of the Senate blil now
peuding in this body entitled "a Dill lor
the suspcnsion Of immigration for on
wear" and that the Secretary OF state De
respectfully requested TO inform the sen
ale at his earliest convenience Whether
the provisions of the said bill absolutely
suspending immigration for the period OF
one wear are in conflict with any treaties
now existing between the United states
and any Of the foreign countries, and II
"a with what countries, and any further
information which he may deem neces-
sary for the information of the Senate
I'm relation TO the propriety of the enact
ment of said bill in its present form.
The Senate bill concerning the testi-
mony in criminal cases or proceedings
growing out OF the Interstate Commerce
law was taken from the calendar and
passed. 1t provides that no person shall
be excused from testifying on the ground
that his testimony might tend to crimi-
nate himself
The Anti option bill was then taken up
and Mr. Villas addressed the Senate In
Mr.. Villas speech was the feature of
the days session. For nearly three
hours he held the attention of the sup
porters and opponents Of the mNlsure
while he stated in prepared argument
delivered with great earnestness and i'm
pressiVeness, the constitutional Objec-
tions which in his opinion precluded the
possibility Of its passage by the Senate.
He denounced IL as a fragrant advance
to Capitalization. and as involving the
characteristics OF the most odious pater-
nalism There was a coloquy between
him and Mr.. Washburn, who has charge
Of the bill, In the course Of which the
question was put to Mr.. Washburn
whether he would accept AN amendment
that would coniine the operation of the
measure TO operations that were abso-
lutely gambling. and i'm which there was
to be no delivery. but the Minnesota
senator hesitatingly declined to answer
the question afiirmatively, remarking that
he did not believe that any such restrc-
tion would be effective.
The bill has gone over till Monday next,
tomorrow and Saturday having been set
apart for the consideration of two bills
in relation to quarantine and immigra-
tion.
After a short executive session the Sem
ate, az 4:5O, adjourned.

the Result of His investigation.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 5.-Surgeon-Ge
eral Wyman. of the Marine Hospital Ser
vice, received the following telegram from
Surgeon Willis. who was sent from
Memphis to Helena, Ark, to investigate
the cause and character of the disease
which recently broke out amongst the
convicts in the State prison:
"Have examined condition Of city and
coryict camp. Surface drainage OF the
city is by open stagnant ditches. and
str eets are quagmires; no sewerage vault
system; contents emptied into the river
below the city. Water supply partly ar
tesisn partly cistern and surface wells.
Convict camp located In quagmlre Just
below the city. 1t consists of a passen-
ger coach and five box cars. Eighteen
men are housed in one box car. No ven
tilation TO speak Of; bedding filthy and
sewerage disposed OF by wooden hopper
let into the floor in one corner with a
pail beneath. 1t is very filthy. The sew
erage is dumped into the ditch nearby
Food very coarse--no fresh meats. Water
obtained from the river near the camp.
Two slaughter pens, very offensive, con-
tanning immense amount OF decomposing
onal within two hundred yards of the
camp. Slaughter pens and camp subject
TO overflow. 7 believe the ground at the
camp to be saturated with products Of
animal decomposition. Three cases at
camp-not suspicious. Cases occurred on
the 18th. Medical attendance gave his
tory of acute gastro-enteritis. with chol-
eraform symptoms. I'm my opinion, the
suspicious are cases due TO either pois-
oned food or contaminated water plus
| filth and overcrowding-prob the lat
fer. The stomach of one case is in the
| possesion Of the coroner"

THE MGLYNy INCIDENT.
Rev. DIR. BurtselI Makes n Statement In
Justice to Mgr. satolli.

NEW YORK, Jan. 5.-The Rev. Or.
Purtsell gave ont this evening the following
statement in regard to the satolli-McGlynn
incident:
at seems to me to be due on my part
to Mgr Satclli TO say a few words In
reference 10 the way I'm which he became
connected with the case OF Rev. DR.. Nc
Glynn.
'In 1883 he came as the representative
Of Pope Leo XIII. TO the formal organiza-
ton CT the Catholic University at Washing
ton. On his return to Rome he stayed some
days at Archbishop Corrigan's residence,
from whence, with the Archblshop's knowl-
edge and consent, he telegraPhed TO
Cooper Institute, asking Dr. VI :Glynn 10
favor him with a meeting. Dr. McGlynn
was absent on a lecture tour, but when he
received the telegram he sent 1t to me from
Vermont, asking me TO call on Mgr. Satolli
in his name; to express his regrets at not
being able to see him in person, and to say
that he would give immediate attention 10
whatever the Monsignor might say to me.
"When ! received the letter Mgr. Satolli
had left for Europe, and ! Immediately
wrote 10 him, explaining these circum-
| stances. AT that time / did not know
whether Mgr. SatolIi had any power to act
| in the case.
ION his arrival here last autumn as a
delegate Of Pope Leo Kill, and specin-
cally on his coming to New YORK Tor the
conference Of .archbishops on November
10th, ! called upon him. reminding him OF
his former telegram and OF my letter. He
remembered both, and Immediately stated
| that he had been commissioned to inquire
| into the matter. When / brought before
| him some important facts, he said he would
| ask the Holy See to grant him all the power
necessary to settle the case. Meanwhile all
| the necessary statements and documents
were brought to him fer his consideration.
"The public has been Informed Of the
happy solution. 1t surprises me that any
one should expect TO ascertain the full
details of the settlement Of the case till
Mgr. Satolli's report should have reached
the Holy Father In whose name he acted
ANY news given here would be likely &c
be cabled TO Rome, and the respect due tC
the supreme ponti1f could not have been
properly maintained.

A Committee Appointed to Investigate the
Matter-More Arrests Made by

PARIS, Jan. 5.-The parliamentary COM
mission OF inquiry resumed to-day their
sitting which was suspended during the
holidays. The principal witness called
was viscount De Vilebois- Mareuil. Mon
archist deputy for Mayenne. He said that
the expenditure OF the Panama Canal
Company in corrupting the press was a
trifie when compared with the enormous
amount lost through bogus contracts.
He urged the commission to call the prin-
cipal contractors and examine them as
to the amounts received and the work
actually done. The wide discrepancy be-
tween the two items would then be re-
vealed.
The Comite De La Union Du Pan
anna, ne said, had been formed expressly
TO influence deputies and conspicuous
men In the provinces to favor the lottery
loan.
The commission appointed a sub-com-
mission to inquire into the Viscount
charges, and then adjourned until Sat
urday.
Blondn, now clerk for Credit Lyon
nais. but formerly in the employ of the
Panama Canal Company, was arrested
yesterday by order of the examining mag
istrate upon the charge that he had dis
tributed the funds of the Canal Company
In a corrupt manner among the news

Company. After an examination OF two
hours Baihut was ordered to prepare to
