WHO is THE MAN ?
Efforts to Identify the Crank Who Was
After the President. =

The authorities are endeavoring to ascer-
tain something of the identity Of Joseph
Washington the alleged crank who was
arrested in the White House, as stated in
yesterdays Star. Those who have seen the
prisoner have no doubts whatever concern
ing his mental condition. When the prison
van reached the work house yesterday
afternoon and the prisoner was led to the
office he turned to Guard Thompson. and
handing over S hill said: Here's a S
bill; want the best room in the house"
The guard, who knew 1t was necessary
to humor the prisoner. took the bill and
then went through the institution
Il want this room.'' he said, after he had
gone through the building, and the guard
let him have it.
1ntendant Stoutenburg visited the pris-
oner soon after he reached the prison. as
did DR.. Reisnger, the resident physician
there, and both concluded that the man
was insane and needed treatment in an in
stitution for the treatment of such persons
When lntendent Stoutenburg first called
on the prisoner the latter was not at all
communicative. He was resting on his bed
reading paper. but when asked IL he
thought he was treating a visitor as he
should treat him. Washington, as the pris-
oher gave his name, arose and said he
thought not
and his reply was. What business is that
of yours?'
Mr.. StoutenbIrg having told his guest
that he was paying him a friendly CALL and
that possibly he might be of assistance TO
him, the prisoner ventured the answer, I'm
a shipbuilder"
Where did you serve at your trader"
In the insane asylum at Norristown n,
Pennsylvania"
What kind Of work did you do lastr'
Putting down cement"
Then you are n stonema son.
mo, I'm cement finisher; in fact am
finisher in all things"
Started n Fire.
All this time the prisoner was perfectly
calm and collected, but before sundown he
caused a scare in the building by setting
fire to some bedding. The smoke from the
burning bedding attracted one of the guards
to the cell. and there IL was found that he
had set fire to an extra blanket and pillow
In his cell and had thrown them out the
window.
There was no danger of burning the
building, because of the nature of the ma
terial of which 1t is constructed, but it was
feared that he had set fire to his clothing
During the night the prisoner remained
quiet and today he showed no evidence of
violence.
He still says, however, that he is entitled
to his place ir the White House
The authorities think that the man prob
ably escaped from the Norristown asylum
and will communicate with the superinten-
dent OF that institution concerning the pris-
Oner
Sanitary Off1cerFrank's attention has been
called to the case and he will, perhaps, in

O PPOSlNG NOMINATIONS.
Republicans and Democrats Urging the
Home Rule Plank.
Indian Agents That Have Not Been
Confirmed and May Not Be-A
Lively Executive Session.

The opposition manifested in the Senate
to the confirmation of the Indian agents
appointed by the President from states
other than those in which the agencies are
located, has succeeded in prolonging the
fight and postponing action from da to day.
This opposition won another victory in ex-
ecutive session last evening when Mr..
Jones Of Arkansas called up the nomina-
tons and sought to have them acted upon.
The republicans at once demanded the
yeas and nays. and at that hour it was
impossible to secure a quorum. An agree
ment was then made that the nominations
should be made special order for next
IhurSday, and, under this agreement the
Senate on that day will transact no legisla-
1--WE business. AS soon as the morning
business is finished the Senate will go into
executive session and endeavor to dispose
of This subject that has aroused the united
antagonism of republicans. aided by some
democrats. There was no understanding
that the task should be completed the same
day, but it is to be fir ally disposed of be-
fCre other executive business is taken up.
Senators representing the states contain
ing these Indian resei vations are not alone
in this struggle
Among those who have criticised the So
called violation of the home rule plank Of
the democratic platform by the President
are republican Senators from New England
and the east, who have not voted with
their western colleagues in other matters.
Two or three active working democratic
Senators are also countenancing this op
position and are said to be quietly giving
their assistance in rebuking the President.
1t appears that If these men are confirmed.
1t will only be by a very close vote.
Three Of the nominations are appoint
ments made during the recess. as follows:
VIM. l.. Hargrove OF Indiana, to be Indian
agent at the western Shoshone agency, Ne
vada Joseph Robinson of Missouri, at the
Nez Perces agency. Idaho; j. r. Young of
