a SUSPICION OF FOUL PLAY.

Senator CockreIl. of Missouri, presented O
petition in the Senate last week that is out OF
the usual run of the ordinary petitions. Mrs.
Effis S. Snow, of Schell City. No., represents
that her daughter, Lora Snow, 10 years old,
went to Richfeld. Utah. and became teacher
in the Presbyterian Mission School, She died
Oct 4, 1889, under circumstances that cast
grave doubts as to the cause of her death. Mrs.
Snow states that she has been bampered and
delayed in getting the facts relative to her
death and recovering the body. She also says
that this is not the only young woman teacher
whose body has been disposed of in such way
as to leave the suspicion of foul play. For this
reason she asks that an investigation DO made
of the manner in which this mission is con-
ducted-a request in which the citizens of
Schell City, Mo-, join. Accompanying the
petition is a long statement of facts. setting
forth the condition OF affairs st the Presbyts-
rian Mission At Rich field.

REPUBLICAN SENATORS, CAUCUS,

The Republican Senators met in caucus on
Thursday morning. Jan. 5, to consider the order
of business and such other matters as might be
brought before them. The meeting was de-
cidedly interesting one, and resulted in the
initial steps being taken that will undoubt-
eddy be the beginning of bitter fight for the
control of the next Senate. If there has here
tofore been the belief in the minds of anybody
that the Republicans intended to permit the
organization of the next Senate to go by de-
fault, that belief was completely shattered by
the action taken by the caucus last Thursday.
A committee, consisting of Messrs. Teller, Hoar,
Mitchell, Chandler, and Higgins, all the Repub-
lican members of the Committee on Privileges
| and Elections, was appointed to take special
charge of the subject of organizing, and, incl
dentaly thereto. the matter of the election Of
Senators in Western States where the fight is
now on. These Senators will see that nothing
| is done TO jeopardize the chances of the Rcpub-
licans and will prepare all cases, so that in the
event of contests, which inevitable, the best
possible front can be made. The question of
the order Of business was secondary to the
more important matter of organization, but a
committee. to agreee upon some working plan,
was appointed in the persons of Senators Sher-
man, Frye, Dolph, Cullom, Plat, Washburn,
and Quay. They will canvass the situation
and report at another caucus, to be held this
week.

WANT IMMIGRATION SUSPENDED.

The local Federation of Labor. embracing %
trades and crafts in the District of Columbia,
have, during the last six weeks st every meet
ing discussed the various bills before Congress
relating to the question of immigration. The
subject developed unusual interest, every trade
taking part in the discussion. A resolution
presented by Carpenters Union favoring a sus-
pension of immigration for three years was
amended on motion of the Bricklayers' Union,
and adopted by unanimous vote. The Leg
islative Committee was directed to draft me-
mortal to Congress in favor of bill to carry
into effect the recommendation of the Fedora
tion. Nearly one-half of the delegates to the
Federation are foreign born.

ADlSEASE STAMPED OUT,

According 10 the report of Secretary Rusk,
of the Department Of Agriculture, on the oper-
atoms of the Bureau of Animal Industry for
the year 1892 which was laid before the Senate
ON Thursday, Jan. 3, the work of stamping out
pleuro-pneumona has been carried on as rapidly
as was possible under the prevailing conditions
of the country, and the disease has completely
disappeared. Tho success of this branch of the
work of the Bureau has therefore, Secretary
Rusk adds, been complete. aud this dangerous
aud much-dreaded disease has been eradicated
from our soil. The United States is the first
of the large Nations of the world which, having
been once extensively infected, has been able to
completely extirpate Ii. The time required
was only about I've years. and the total expen.

INDIANS QUIET.

No reports of serious trouble with the Indians
have been received at the War Department or
the Interior Department for some time, and
this absence of hostiities is the basis for pre-
diction among Government officials that the
Indian as a savage is passing into history.
The approach of Winter has always heretofore
been the signal for discomfort among the
wards Of the Government, and when cold
weather actually sets in trouble is looked for.
The reports of expected trouble in the Indian
country this Winter have been few and not of
a serious nature. A band of seven Apache
renegades is pillaging in Arizona-which
usually has very full share of Indian warfare
while in Wyoming there is some talk of
trouble between the Shoshones and the Araps-
hoes. Altogether the Army people are we'll
satisfied with the prevailing peacefulness
among the Indians, and they are inclined to be
hopeful that serious hostilities, such as those
that occurred during the recent Sioux war,
will occur no more.

TO STUDY OUR PosTAL sYsTEm,

Postmaster General Wanamaker last week
received letter from the Director. General of
Posts Of Peru, stating that DR.. Jose Vale Ries-
ira would shortly leave Lima for the purpose
of studying the postal system of the United
States, and asking that there be extended to
him the usual courtesies in such cases. Ac-
cordingly the Postmaster General has requested
all P0stmasters of the United States whose
offices DR.. Vale Riestra may desire to visit TO
extend to him all the facilities and courtesies
in their power, in order that he may see the
inside workings of our postal system.

MONETARY CONFERENCE REPORT.

Senator Allison. of Iowa, has been selected
by his colleagues to draw up the report of the
Monetary Conference, recently concluded at
Brussels. He says the draft Of the report will
be prepared as soon as possible, after which q
meeting of the delegates will be held to con-
slider it before it is transmitted to the Presi-
dent. 1t is proposed to have the report ready
and present it to the President before his term
Of office expires. It will rest with the Presi-
dent whether the report will be given to the
public. The proceedings of the Conference
have been published. so that there is but little
if any additional information to be given out
The Senator says he found the European rep
resentatives willing and anxious to discuss the
silver problem, and they appeared to take a
deep interest in the subject. He declines to
make any predictions as to what will be the
outcome of the Conference, which is to be az
sembed again next May. He does not know
whether the same delegates will serve or
whether Mr.. Cleveland will select an entirely

OF CHILEAN AWARDS.

Secretary OF the Navy Tracy last week ap-
pointed Capt. w. 8. Schley, Lieut. Commander
Uriel Sebree, and Past Assistant Surgeon L. Z.
Stitt, Board to consider and report upon a
plan for the equitable distribution of the
Chilean indemnity fund of $4,000, which has
been in possession of the United States for
some months. The Board met in the office Of
Capt. Schley on Staten Island. N. Y, on Mon
day, Jan. g. for the purpose of preparing rec
ord of the injuries sustained by the sailors Of
the Baltimore in the riots at Valparaiso, Chile,
Oct. is, 1891, and recommended pro rata dis
tribution of the money in proportion to the in
juries sustained by each sailor. Before sp-
pointing this Board Secretary Tracy made a
thorough examination of the law and prece-
dents bearing on the case, and he came to the
conclusion that he had full authority under the
law as it stands to distribute the indemnity
fund. The disbursement of $4,000, paid by
Spain to the United States in settlement of the
Virginius affair, the Secretary regarded as q
satisfactory precedent for action in this case.
The Virginius award was distributed by the
Secretary of State without recourse to Congress.
and the validity of his action has never been
questioned. small part of that fund is still
in the State Department awaiting final settle
ment.

GEN. wsuamaxEe,s DESK.

Marshall Cushing, the Private Secretary to
Postmaster-G General Wanamaker. told friend
last week that the Postmaster Generals Office
desk, which he had specially fitted up when he
went into President Harrison's Cabinet. would
be very likely left for his successor. 1t is the
Postmaster Generals working desk. and is
unique in construction, being the result Of Mr.
Wanamaker's daily experience in his very
exacting office. The desk has no cloth cover
ing on its double-sized fat top, but large
plate glass takes the place of the usual green
felt. Underneath the glass is a map of the
United States. with parts of Canada and Mexico.
All the customary desk fittings, such as
large writing pad, baskets for papers, an ink
stand and pens, writing material, and such
accessories are on the top of the desk, showing
the busy habits of Mr. Wanamaker. The map
is the greatest help be has had in his career as
Postmaster General. It shows all the Counties
in each State, the principal cities and towns,
and all the County seats the railroad routes on
which mail is carried, and the other lines of
mail distribution. When visitors talk with
Mr.. Wauamaker about Postoffices and post
routes, and other similar topics he can follow
their remarks with intelligent understanding
by looking down on the map spread out before
his eyes as he sits at his desk

Carroll ID. Wright, Commissioner Of Labor, has
been reappoiuted by the President for another
term of four years. 1t is said that Mr.. Wright
will resign when Presdent-elect Cleveland
comes into Office, but il Ia regarded as ex-
tremely doubtful whether his resignation will
be accepted.

The Surratt family, still lives In Washington.

Senator Allison, of lows, who has returned
from his attendance upon the Monetary Con-
ference at Brussels, made an informal report
TO President Harrison on Tuesday, Jan. g.
The Senator afterward said he would certainly
tender his resignation as a member of the Con-
ference to the new President when he was
sworn in, and intimated that his colleagues
would do so also. He said this was certainly
the proper thing for all the members to do, as
it would give the new Administration the
