MIR. COMPTON's SUCCESSOR.
Political Talk I'm the Fifth Maryland
Congressional District.

The appointment Of Representative Barnes
Compton as naval officer at Baltimore Gre
ates vacancy In the fifth congressional
district OF Maryland, and political gossip is
already busy with the names Of those who
II ay enter the contest to fill 1t. 1t is under
stood that by-election will not be held
now, owing to the near approach of the end
OF the present session of Congress- but that
the successor to Mr.. Compton will be chosen
al the regular congressional election, No
vember next, when representatives for
the unexpired term, which terminates
March 4, 1895, as well as for the full term
following, will be chosen. This condition of
affairs has aroused the ambitions of several
prominent men in both political parties and
the chances of the various candidates are
being discussed with much interest by the
citizens most interested. The district has
been democratic heretofore, except In a few
instances, and that party claims 1t will
carry 1t next fall. In order to be doubly
sure of success it is believed that the demo-
Gratis Will nominate ex-Gov. Oden Bowie of
Prince Georges county, and president of
the Baltimore and Potomac railroad who
has been a dyed-in- the-wool democrat ever
since he was old enough to entertain a DO
litical principle. The republicans. however
DO not admit that the ex-governor or any
other candidate of his political faith will
have a walk-over, and believe they have an
excellent chance for electing their man on
account of the general democratic dissatis-
faction. Many strong republicans are being
considered in connection with the nominal
tion, the most frequently mentioned of
whom Is Mr. Thomas D. Bond of Howard
county, who Is president of the Maryland
Republican Association and a vigorous and
uncompromising party man. The indica-
tions are that campaign between Bond
and Bowie would be interesting and the
outcome close and exciting.

AN EARLY VOTE EXPECTED
Senator Jones Thinks it Will Be Reached
by June 10th.
The Main Fight VIII BE ON the Sugar
Schedule-No Definite Agree
ment rs Yet.

There is confidence on the democratic side
OF the Senate that final vote will be had
on the tariff bill by the 18th of June Sem
ator Jones said today: Some of the Sem
ators on our side are looking for a vote by
the 10th. but l think they are a little too
sanguine. 1t looks as If we would get
through by the 18th, however. The repub-
licans have hopes of dividing the party on
the sugar schedule. Claims have been made,
even today. that they would be able to
break our ranks. We anticipate a fight
along the entire line of the sugar schedule
and as soon as 1t is found that the demo-
cratic side cannot be broken the bill will
proceed We expect quite a debate on the
woolen and cotton schedules. but on other
features We ought to make rapid pro-
gress.''
Senator Aldrich was asked If the end was
in sight when he thought the bill might
pass the Senate.
ASK Senator Vest or Senator Jones; they
have the bill in charge"
They say about the 18TH" he was in
formed.
We'll" he replied, they are showing
better judgment than in some of the claims
that have been made on that side
Senator Sherman will make a speech on
the tariff bill tomorrow. 1t will be of a
general nature and cover his views the
subject. He informed the democratic man.
ayers that he wanted to consult their con-
yenience, and make his speech when 1t
would least incommode them, and he was
informed that it would make no difference.
and the Ohio Senator decided to go on to-
morrow.
No Agreement Yet Reached.
The democratic Senators have not made
much If any progress in getting the republi-
cans to agree to day when a vote shall be
taken. and the belief is gaining ground that
the republicans will hold back for some time
before consenting to such an agreement.
They are evidently of the opinion that
stands than they would hold IL they should
consent to have a day named, because in
that event the democrats would expect to
occupy half the time agreed upon for debate
and would also probably be found more OBJ
durate in granting concessions than they
now are.

CAPITOL TOPICS.
Departmental Reforms.

The department joint commission has
submitted to the House several recon-
mendations of the experts as to changes to
be made in certain departmental duties.
The experts recommend that the de-
tails relating to the international money
orders. occupying nearly 80 pages of the
sixth auditors printed report, be dispensed
with. and table No. 20. made from the ex-
change office reports, changed to include
the number of orders issued and paid The
saving by the adoption of this recommen-
dation, the experts say, would be about five
clerks say $1,000 per annum. the cost of
considerable stationery, and the expense of
printing nearly thirty pages of statistical
matter.
A change in the method of examina-
ton Of treasury warrants is recommended.
Greater dispatch will be given to the trans
action of the public business, II Is claimed,
and the services of at least five clerks In
the II easurer's office can be dispensed with.
making an annual saving of. say, 5000.
besides the cost of the paper and printing
of the pay warrants.
No legislation is required to carry these
changes into effect and a departmental
regulation will suffice.
Letter From kossuth's Sons.
In the House of Representatives was read
today a communication, a reply from the
two sons of Kossuth, the Hungarian patriot,
to the tribute from the House upon his
death. 1t was written in English, on a
sheet of paper deeply bordered with black.
The stone and Timber Act.
The House committee on public lands has
ordered favorable report on the bill in
troduced by Representative Lynch of Wis
consin, affecting settlements on public
lands under what is known as the stone
and timber act The act provided that
lands should be offered at public sale, but
many entries were made in good faith up
on sections which were not so offered. The
bill is designed to give these settlers clear
title to their lands, where the Interior De-
partment has not already taken action to
enforce the law. Most of the land involved
in the bill Is in Wisconsin.

IN THE BLACK DISTRICT.
Representative Murray Talks About
the Fight in South Carolina.

A very interesting political fight is now
in progress in South Carolina. involving
the future of Representative George W.
Murray. the only colored man now in Con-
gress. Mr.. Murray left the city Saturday for
Tuskegee, Ala, where he is to deliver an
address before the Industrial Institute. Be
fore going. however, he gave Star reporter
a talk as to the complications that have
arisen in his state. Mr.. Murray now rep
resents what has been known as the sew
enth district but there have been changes
in the district boundaries. so that Charles
ton county has been placed In the famous
black district" while Sumter county has
been taken from II. In response to many
requests, Mr.. Murray has entered the new
first district and has made a strong fight
for election. A majority of the counties
he now represents are I'm this new district
LAS soon as IL became known to my DO
litical enemies" said Mr.. Murray. that
/ would obey the wishes of my friends and
enter the fight a combination was formed
to defeat me and the will of the people.
My friends thereupon advised and succeed
ed in having an early convention called for
the I'd OF May. After a brief and spirited
canvass in all the counties OF the district
the convention met at Charleston, s. c.,
on the above mentioned date. The fore
most candidate in opposition to me was
Gen. Robert Smalls of Beaufort, s. c., sec
onded by ex-Congressman Thomas E. Mil
Ter and other republicans. ex-federal office
holders. Contrary to the expectations of
these gentlemen, in spite of their Doodle
which was freely used, the executive COM
mittee of the district decided every con-
tested delegation in my favor. This awoke
the latent fires that had long been burning
in the breast of my political foes, and so
blind were they that even before the con-
vention had had an opportunity of passing
upon the claims of the contesting delega-
tions Smalls seeing his weakness, with
his lieutenant, Miller, left the regular con-
vention and held a mass meeting, composed
of everybody who would attend, the out
come of which was the nomination, by
acclamation l suppose, of ex-Gen, ex-Con-
gresham, ex-United States collector of GUS
toms of the port of Beaufort, Hon. Robert
Smalls.
Now, of the six congressional committee
men not one followed the lead of Smalls;
of the thirty regularly elected delegates
twenty-nine remained in the regular con-
vention and unanimously nominated me for
reelection. The ex-office holders of this
state hope for the national success of the
republican party in 1896, and, knowing that
they cannot control me. have sworn among
themselves to defeat me at any cost TO in
dividuals or the grand old party in the
district. Believing that their hopes will be
realized, they fear that / may to a very
large extent control whatever of patronage
that may fall to the lot of the faithful few.
They now make their war cry, Anybody
TO beat Murray"

QUIET IN THE COKE REGION.
A Waterman Shot Last Night by Hun
Earian Strikers.

SCOTTDALE, Pa. May 2S-Three hun
dred Hungarian st-ikera succeeded in get
ting through the lines of TIE deputies on
guard in the Meyer coke works late last
night. They were discovered by Geo. B.
Keefer watchman, who attempted to ar
rest them. In the struggle one of the
Huns" drew a revolver and shot Keefe-
in the breast, infiicting a probably fatal
wound. The Huns then fed and were not
recaptured. AS they ran Keefer raised
himself from the ground and fired six
shots after them. From the blood along
the road it is thought some of the shots
took effect.
The cold rainy weather today prevented
the strikers from marching and every
thing is quiet.
The body of an unknown man, supposed
to be that of a deputy or workman, was
found in Fayette Creek yesterday. There
was nothing to give a clue to the identity
of the man.
